description: The exact pathway leading to neuron death and muscle atrophy in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) has not yet been elucidated. Gene expression profile of spinal cord, blood and muscle could provide signalling pathways and systemic alterations useful for future biomarker development. In our study we compared whole genome expression profiles of lumbar spinal cord with peripheral blood and tibialis anterior muscle in 16 mutant SOD1-G93A mice and 15 wild-type littermates. In SOD1-G93A mice, 11 genes were significantly differentially expressed in spinal cord, and 16 genes in blood, while much larger transcriptional changes were noted in muscle (1745 genes significant; six overlapping with spinal cord (0.3%)) probably due to muscle atrophy. Overlap with spinal cord was enriched for significant genes in blood (six of 16 overlapping with spinal cord (37.5%)). Three genes were significantly down-regulated in all three tissues, and were closely related to mitochondrial function. Furthermore, clustering the significant genes in spinal cord and in blood, but not in muscle, could identify the SOD1-G93A mice. We conclude that blood gene expression profile overlapped with profile of spinal cord, allowing differentiation of SOD1-G93A mice from wild-type littermates. Blood gene expression profiling may be a promising biomarker for ALS patients.

description: The evolution of large-scale structure, galaxies and the intergalactic medium (IGM) during the Epoch of Reionization (EoR) can be probed by upcoming Line Intensity Mapping (LIM) experiments, which sample in redshift and direction without needing to resolve individual galaxies. We predict the intensity and sources of hydrogen H$α$ emission, dominated by radiative recombination following ionization by UV from the same massive stars that caused reionization, down to redshift 4.6, using the largest fully-coupled, radiation-hydro simulation of galaxy formation and reionization to date, Cosmic Dawn (CoDa) III. We compute the mean intensity and Voxel Intensity Distribution (VID) vs. redshift, including the relative contributions of galaxies and IGM. This will provide mock data to guide and interpret LIM experiments such as NASA's SPHEREx and proposed Cosmic Dawn Intensity Mapper (CDIM).

Distinct Abundance Patterns in Multiple Damped Ly-alpha Galaxies: Evidence for Truncated Star Formation?

description: (abridged) Following our previous work on metal abundances of a double damped Ly-alpha system with a line-of-sight separation ~2000 km/s (Ellison & Lopez 2001), we present VLT UVES abundances of 3 new systems spanning a total of \~6000 km/s at z~2.5 toward the southern QSO CTQ247. These abundances are supplemented with echelle observations of another `double' damped Ly-alpha system in the literature. We propose a definition in terms of velocity shift of the sub-class 'multiple damped Ly-alpha system', which is motivated by its possible connection with large-scale structure. We find that the abundance ratio alpha/Fe is systematically low in multiple systems compared with single systems, and with a small scatter. The same behavior is found in 2 more single DLA systems taken from the literature that show evidence of belonging to a galaxy group. After a careful investigation of possible sources of systematic errors, we conclude that the low alpha/Fe ratios in multiple DLAs have a nucleosynthetic origin. We suggest that they could be explained by reduced star formation in multiple damped Ly-alpha systems, possibly due to environmental effects.

description: Next generation ground-based gravitational-wave detectors will observe binary black hole (BBH) mergers up to redshift $z\gtrsim{}10$, probing the evolution of compact binary (CB) mergers across cosmic time. Here, we present a new data-driven model to estimate the cosmic merger rate density (MRD) evolution of CBs, by coupling catalogs of CB mergers with observational constraints on the cosmic star formation rate density and on the metallicity evolution of the Universe. We adopt catalogs of CB mergers derived from recent $N-$body and population-synthesis simulations, to describe the MRD of CBs formed in young star clusters (hereafter, dynamical CBs) and in the field (hereafter, isolated CBs). The local MRD of dynamical BBHs is $\mathcal{R}_{\rm BBH}=64^{+34}_{-20}$ Gpc$^{-3}$ yr$^{-1}$, consistent with the 90% credible interval from the first and second observing run (O1 and O2) of the LIGO-Virgo collaboration, and with the local MRD of isolated BBHs ($\mathcal{R}_{\rm BBH}=50^{+71}_{-37}$ Gpc$^{-3}$ yr$^{-1}$). The local MRD of dynamical and isolated black hole - neutron star binaries is $\mathcal{R}_{\rm BHNS}=41^{+33}_{-23}$ and $49^{+48}_{-34}$~Gpc$^{-3}$ yr$^{-1}$, respectively. Both values are consistent with the upper limit inferred from O1 and O2. Finally, the local MRD of dynamical binary neutron stars (BNSs, $\mathcal{R}_{\rm BNS}=151^{+59}_{-38}$ Gpc$^{-3}$ yr$^{-1}$) is a factor of two lower than the local MRD of isolated BNSs ($\mathcal{R}_{\rm BNS}=283^{+97}_{-75}$ Gpc$^{-3}$ yr$^{-1}$). The MRD for all CB classes grows with redshift, reaching its maximum at $z \in [1.5,2.5]$, and then decreases. This trend springs from the interplay between cosmic star formation rate, metallicity evolution and delay time of binary compact objects.

description: We employ the Gross-Pitaevskii equation to study acoustic emission generated in a uniform Bose gas by a static impurity. The impurity excites a sound-wave packet, which propagates through the gas. We calculate the shape of this wave packet in the limit of long wave lengths, and argue that it is possible to extract properties of the impurity by observing this shape. We illustrate here this possibility for a Bose gas with a trapped impurity atom -- an example of a relevant experimental setup. Presented results are general for all one-dimensional systems described by the nonlinear Schrödinger equation and can also be used in nonatomic systems, e.g., to analyze light propagation in nonlinear optical media. Finally, we calculate the shape of the sound-wave packet for a three-dimensional Bose gas assuming a spherically symmetric perturbation.

OCS in small para-hydrogen clusters: energetics and structure with N=1-8 complexed hydrogen molecules

description: We determine the structure and energetics of complexes of the linear OCS molecule with small numbers of para-hydrogen molecules, N=1-8, using zero temperature quantum Monte Carlo methods. Ground state calculations are carried out with importance-sampled rigid body diffusion Monte Carlo (IS-RBDMC) and excited state calculations with the projection operator imaginary time spectral evolution (POITSE) methodology. The ground states are found to be highly structured, with a gradual build up of two axial rings as N increases to 8. Analysis of the azimuthal density correlations around the OCS molecule shows that these rings are quite delocalized for small N values, but become strongly localized for N \geq 5 . Excited state calculations are made for a range of total cluster angular momentum values and the rotational energy levels fitted to obtain effective rotational and distortion constants of the complexed OCS molecule as a function of cluster size N. Detailed analysis of these spectroscopic constants indicates that the complexes of OCS with para-hydrogen have an unusually rich variation in dynamical behavior, with sizes N=1-2 showing near rigid behavior, sizes N=3-4 showing extremely floppy behavior, and the larger sizes N=5-8 showing more rigid behavior again. The large values of the distortion constant D obtained for N=3-4 are rationalized in terms of the coupling between the OCS rotations and the "breathing" mode of the first, partially filled ring of para-hydrogen molecules.

description: We study the interaction between a quantum-dot and a bi-mode micro/nano-optical cavity composed of second-order nonlinear materials. Compared with the Jaynes-Cummings (J-C) model, except for a coherent weak driving field, a strong pump light illuminates the two-mode optical cavity. Analytical results indicate that the model exhibits abundant non-classical optical phenomena, such as conventional photon blockade induced by the nonlinear interaction between polaritons. It constitutes unconventional photon blockade induced by quantum interference due to parametric driving. We compare the photon statistical properties and average photon number of the proposed model, J-C model, and double-mode driven optical cavity under the same parameters and the proposed model can obtain stronger antibunching photons and higher average photon number.

description: We probe the long-range spin chain approach to planar N=4 gauge theory at high loop order. A recently employed hyperbolic spin chain invented by Inozemtsev is suitable for the SU(2) subsector of the state space up to three loops, but ceases to exhibit the conjectured thermodynamic scaling properties at higher orders. We indicate how this may be bypassed while nevertheless preserving integrability, and suggest the corresponding all-loop asymptotic Bethe ansatz. We also propose the local part of the all-loop gauge transfer matrix, leading to conjectures for the asymptotically exact formulae for all local commuting charges. The ansatz is finally shown to be related to a standard inhomogeneous spin chain. A comparison of our ansatz to semi-classical string theory uncovers a detailed, non-perturbative agreement between the corresponding expressions for the infinite tower of local charge densities. However, the respective Bethe equations differ slightly, and we end by refining and elaborating a previously proposed possible explanation for this disagreement.

description: Quantum information theory predicts that when the transmission resource is doubled in quantum channels, the amount of information transmitted can be increased more than twice by quantum channel coding technique, whereas the increase is at most twice in classical information theory. This remarkable feature, the superadditive quantum coding gain, can be implemented by appropriate choices of code words and corresponding quantum decoding which requires a collective quantum measurement. Recently, the first experimental demonstration was reported [Phys. Rev. Lett. 90, 167906 (2003)]. The purpose of this paper is to describe our experiment in detail. Particularly, a design strategy of quantum collective decoding in physical quantum circuits is emphasized. We also address the practical implication of the gain on communication performance by introducing the quantum-classical hybrid coding scheme. We show how the superadditive quantum coding gain, even in a small code length, can boost the communication performance of conventional coding technique.

description: Halo model is a physically intuitive method for modelling the non-linear power spectrum, especially for the alternatives to the standard $Λ$CDM models. In this paper, we exam the Sheth-Tormen barrier formula adopted in the previous \texttt{CHAM} method \citep{2018MNRAS.476L..65H}. As an example, we model the ellipsoidal collapse of top-hat dark matter haloes in $f(R)$ gravity. A good agreement between Sheth-Tormen formula and our result is achieved. The relative difference in the ellipsoidal collapse barrier is less than or equal to $1.6\%$. Furthermore, we verify that, for F4 and F5 cases of Hu-Sawicki $f(R)$ gravity, the screening mechanism do not play a crucial role in the non-linear power spectrum modelling up to $k\sim1[h/{\rm Mpc}]$. We compare two versions of modified gravity modelling, namely with/without screening. We find that by treating the effective Newton constant as constant number ($G_{\rm eff}=4/3G_N$) is acceptable. The scale dependence of the gravitational coupling is sub-relevant. The resulting spectra in F4 and F5, are in $0.1\%$ agreement with the previous \texttt{CHAM} results. The published code is accelerated significantly. Finally, we compare our halo model prediction with N-body simulation. We find that the general spectrum profile agree, qualitatively. However, via the halo model approach, there exists a systematic under-estimation of the matter power spectrum in the co-moving wavenumber range between $0.3 h/{\rm Mpc}$ and $3 h/{\rm Mpc}$. These scales are overlapping with the transition scales from two halo term dominated regimes to those of one halo term dominated.

description: It is a major possibility that at some stage of your scientific career you will wish to take on a project of such wide scope, or respond to an invitation to join such a project as a partner, that collaboration is the way forward. Funding agencies also have recognised this, and there are many schemes and variants of scale of collaboration for you to choose from. One overriding principle to keep in sight of is the compatibility of your potential collaborator. An aspect that will perhaps cause the most diverse of behaviours from your collaborators will be the publications that result from your collaborations. I will draw on examples from my recent book [1] and from my research career.

description: In the present study, Bacillus strains were recovered from aqueous extracts of cut tobacco and characterized to pose a strong antifungal activity against Colletotrichum higginsianum, to promote plant growth and to reduce anthracnose severity on cabbage seedlings. The efficacy of the Bacillus strains on the suppression of spore germination and cabbage anthracnose was improved considerably when tobacco extracts were added during the fermentation processes. Moreover, the addition of peanut pomace, rapeseed pomace, plant oils (moringa oil, peanut oil, soybean oil, sunflower oil, emusilified corn oil and emusilified peanut oil) or magnium-containing fertilizers into medium significantly increased antagonistic activities. Eight tobacco extract-based formulations were developed and used to culture the Bacillus strains, all of which resulted in a significant reduction of anthracnose severity on cabbage seedlings in greenhouse trials. This is a proof-of-concept study, which may open up a new avenue for screening potent biocontrol agents.

description: We explore the properties of steady-state Fano coherences generated in a three-level V-system continuously pumped by polarized incoherent light in the absence of coherent driving. The ratio of the stationary coherences to excited-state populations $\mathcal{C} = (1+\frac{Δ^2}{γ(r+γ)} )^{-1}$ is maximized when the excited-state splitting $Δ$ is small compared to either the spontaneous decay rate $γ$ or the incoherent pumping rate $r$. We demonstrate that an intriguing regime exists where the $\mathcal{C}$ ratio displays a maximum as a function of the dephasing rate $γ_d$. We attribute the surprising dephasing-induced enhancement of stationary Fano coherences to the environmental suppression of destructive interference of individual incoherent excitations generated at different times. We identify the imaginary Fano coherence with the non-equilibrium flux across a pair of qubits coupled to two independent thermal baths, unraveling a direct connection between the seemingly unrelated phenomena of incoherent driving of multilevel quantum systems and non-equilibrium quantum transport in qubit networks. The real part of the steady-state Fano coherence is found to be proportional to the deviation of excited-state populations from their values in thermodynamic equilibrium, making it possible to observe signatures of steady-state Fano coherences in excited-state populations. We put forward an experimental proposal for observing steady-state Fano coherences by detecting the total fluorescence signal emitted by Calcium atoms excited by polarized vs. isotropic incoherent light. Our analysis paves the way toward further theoretical and experimental studies of non-equilibrium coherent steady states in thermally driven atomic and molecular systems, and for the exploration of their potential role in biological processes.

description: We present results using 2-D spectral imagery and photometry obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) for the starburst H II region, NGC 604, in nearby galaxy M33. The spectral imagery was acquired with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) using the MAMA/G140L configuration, spanning 1170-1730 A. From a single 1720 sec STIS exposure, we extracted spectra for 49 stars and derived individual UV spectral types for 40 stars in the crowded 25"x2" stellar field. These stars represent a significant fraction of the young, luminous O and B stars. Three objects have pronounced He II 1640 emission, the signature of W-R or luminous Of stars. By combining UV fluxes with WFPC and WFPC2 visual photometry, we derive the extinction curve for NGC 604. We use this curve, the distance for M33, derived UV spectral types, and HST photometry, to determine positions of these stars in the upper H-R diagram. The revised O star effective temperature scale (Martins et al.) is essential in obtaining reliable positions in the log(L*)-log(T(eff)) plane. These stars are quite young with an age of ~3 Myr. The spectra and photometry indicate three exceedingly luminous objects. Their inferred locations in the H-R diagram indicate stellar masses > 120 solar masses. High spatial resolution HST imagery provides no evidence of multiple stars composing these objects. Still we cannot eliminate the possibility that they are unresolved multiple stars of lower mass, possibly W-R stars. Tests demonstrate that the ten most luminous stars predominantly determine the UV spectral features seen in the total light of NGC 604. We conclude that interpretation of spectral fitting of more distant starburst galaxies, where individual stars are not resolved, must be done with extreme care.

description: We calculate an effect of spinless impurities on the spin Hall effect of the Luttinger model representing p-type semiconductors. The self-energy in the Born approximation becomes diagonal in the helicity basis and its value is independent of the wavenumber or helicity. The vertex correction in the ladder approximation vanishes identically, in sharp contrast with the Rashba model. This implies that in the clean limit the spin Hall conductivity reproduces the value of the intrinsic spin Hall conductivity calculated in earlier papers.

description: The frequent usage of sensory modalities for Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) and in some In-Vehicles Information System (IVIS) are only for visuals and hearing applications. Yet, the air quality inside the car is not usually monitored. Not to mention, the existing breath analyzers are used only by road traffic police enforcer randomly in examining the alcohol content in motorist's breath to avoid drunk driving related accidents. In this study, we proposed the development and utilization of an e-nose sensory module as an added feature for Controller Area Network (CAN) technology application. An electronic nose is characterized by its capability to intelligently sensed the gases present in the surrounding using an array of gas sensors with a pattern reorganization component. This e-nose comprises of a sensor array of five commercially available sensors (TG 2602, TG 822, TG 825, TG 813 and TG 880), a data acquisition interface, and a microprocessor. A software from the CAN module verified the system functionality. Experimental results indicate that the proposed system is able to identify the five different types of gases namely methane, ethanol, propone, isobutane, and hydrogen with high efficiency. Thus, it can be used as an added safety feature for vehicles.

description: The general formalism for calculating the Newtonian potential in fine-tuned or critical Randall-Sundrum braneworlds is outlined. It is based on using the full tensor structure of the graviton propagator. This approach avoids the brane-bending effect arising from calculating the potential for a point source. For a single brane, this gives a clear understanding of the disputed overall factor 4/3 entering the correction. The result can be written on a compact form which is evaluated to high accuracy for both short and large distances.

description: Half of the rural low-volume roads in four Midwestern States need major repair. A fifth of them should be reconstructed. Townships are responsible for maintaining those roads, and financing such largescale repairs is beyond the capabilities of most small governments. Selective maintenance may be the only way to keep all the roads open. Based on a survey of 6,000 townships in Illinois, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin.

description: A minimal Kitaev-Gamma model has been recently investigated to understand various Kitaev systems. In the one-dimensional Kitaev-Gamma chain, an emergent SU(2)$_1$ phase and a rank-1 spin ordered phase with $O_h\rightarrow D_4$ symmetry breaking were identified using non-Abelian bosonization and numerical techniques. However, puzzles near the antiferromagnetic Kitaev region with finite Gamma interaction remained unresolved. Here we focus on this parameter region and find that there are two new phases, namely, a rank-1 ordered phase with an $O_h\rightarrow D_3$ symmetry breaking, and a peculiar Kitaev phase. Remarkably, the $O_h\rightarrow D_3$ symmetry breaking corresponds to the classical magnetic order, but appears in a region very close to the antiferromagnetic Kitaev point where the quantum fluctuations are presumably very strong. In addition, a two-step symmetry breaking $O_h\rightarrow D_{3d}\rightarrow D_3$ is numerically observed as the length scale is increased: At short and intermediate length scales, the system behaves as having a rank-2 spin nematic order with $O_h\rightarrow D_{3d}$ symmetry breaking; and at long distances, time reversal symmetry is further broken leading to the $O_h\rightarrow D_3$ symmetry breaking. Finally, there is no numerical signature of spin orderings nor Luttinger liquid behaviors in the Kitaev phase whose nature is worth further studies.

The development and implementation of a management plan for the Seekoei Estuary, South Africa: a case study guided by socio-economic issues

description: The large Temporarily Closed Seekoei Estuary has a long history of poor management. In 1969, a swimming pool complex was built in a position impinging on the mouth. The construction of a 500 m causeway across the lagoon connecting the residential townships of Paradise Beach and Aston Bay followed. Freshwater abstraction in the catchment has escalated, whereas increasing sedimentation, duration and frequency of mouth closure and hypersaline events contributed to the deteriorating health status of the estuary. Pedestrian and vehicle numbers crossing the causeway are high, particularly among Paradise Beach residents who need to access schools, medical services, work premises, business and shopping facilities. Causeway maintenance is ongoing, whereas winter storm surges deposit large volumes of sand and seawater in the estuary. The causeway becomes submerged, exacerbating threats to human safety. The mouth is then artificially breached, sometimes illegally. Although causeway removal was a key objective in the management plan, upgrading or construction of alternate roads was a first requirement. Other management objectives included guidelines for artificial mouth breaching and restoration of freshwater runoff. Without freshwater inflow the health of the estuary will continue to deteriorate; the system cannot be managed by only focussing on mouth management or other non-natural structures.

description: Analysis of model fit results of 15,210 electron velocity distribution functions (VDFs), observed within $\pm$2 hours of 52 interplanetary (IP) shocks by the Wind spacecraft near 1 AU, is presented as the third and final part on electron VDFs near IP shocks. The core electrons and protons dominate in the magnitude and change in the partial-to-total thermal pressure ratio, with the core electrons often gaining as much or more than the protons. Only a moderate positive correlation is observed between the electron temperature and the kinetic energy change across the shock, while weaker, if any, correlations were found with any other macroscopic shock parameter. No VDF parameter correlated with the shock normal angle. The electron VDF evolves from a narrowly peaked core with flaring suprathermal tails in the upstream to either a slightly hotter core with steeper tails or much hotter flattop core with even steeper tails downstream of the weaker and strongest shocks, respectively. Both quasi-static and fluctuating fields are examined as possible mechanisms modifying the VDF but neither is sufficient alone. For instance, flattop VDFs can be generated by nonlinear ion acoustic wave stochastic acceleration (i.e., inelastic collisions) while other work suggested they result from the combination of quasi-static and fluctuating fields. This three-part study shows that not only are these systems not thermodynamic in nature, even kinetic models may require modification to include things like inelastic collision operators to properly model electron VDF evolution across shocks or in the solar wind.

High resolution imaging of CO outflows in OMC-2 and OMC-3

description: A large scale, high resolution map of CO(1-0) emission toward the OMC-2 and OMC-3 star forming regions is presented. The map is a mosaic of 46 fields using the Berkeley-Illinois-Maryland Array (BIMA) and covers $\sim 10'\times 15'$ at $\sim 10" $ resolution. These data are combined with singledish FCRAO observations and analyzed to identify and determine the properties of nine protostellar outflows. The BIMA data alone almost completely resolve out the cloud emission at central velocities and only recover 1/20 of the flux in the high velocity gas showing that outflows are generally broadly dispersed over $\sim 1'$ angular scales. All nine identified outflows emanate from known Class 0 or borderline Class 0/I sources, are associated with knots of shocked \h2\ emission, and have short dynamical times. It is suggested that only the youngest, most spatially compact, and energetic outflows have been found and that more distributed high velocity gas undetected by BIMA is due to older outflows continuing through the Class I phase of protostellar evolution. The mechanical energy injection rate into the cloud is estimated to be $\sim 1.5 L_\odot$ which is comparable to the turbulent energy dissipation rate. Outf`lows appear capable, therefore, of sustaining cloud turbulence but a high starformation rate is required implying a short cloud lifetime $\leq 5$ `Myr.

Electron Spectral Functions of Reconstructed Quantum Hall Edges

description: During the reconstruction of the edge of a quantum Hall liquid, Coulomb interaction energy is lowered through the change in the structure of the edge. We use theory developed earlier by one of the authors [K. Yang, Phys. Rev. Lett. 91, 036802 (2003)] to calculate the electron spectral functions of a reconstructed edge, and study the consequences of the edge reconstruction for the momentum-resolved tunneling into the edge. It is found that additional excitation modes that appear after the reconstruction produce distinct features in the energy and momentum dependence of the spectral function, which can be used to detect the presence of edge reconstruction.
