description: Community Question-Answering websites, such as StackOverflow and Quora, expect users to follow specific guidelines in order to maintain content quality. These systems mainly rely on community reports for assessing contents, which has serious problems such as the slow handling of violations, the loss of normal and experienced users' time, the low quality of some reports, and discouraging feedback to new users. Therefore, with the overall goal of providing solutions for automating moderation actions in Q&A websites, we aim to provide a model to predict 20 quality or subjective aspects of questions in QA websites. To this end, we used data gathered by the CrowdSource team at Google Research in 2019 and a fine-tuned pre-trained BERT model on our problem. Based on the evaluation by Mean-Squared-Error (MSE), the model achieved a value of 0.046 after 2 epochs of training, which did not improve substantially in the next ones. Results confirm that by simple fine-tuning, we can achieve accurate models in little time and on less amount of data.

description: Background: Whole-of-systems approaches (WSA) to physical activity are advocated in international and UK policy. Greater Manchester Moving (GM Moving) is a social movement for enabling active lives across a population of 2.8 million people. It is the city region’s response to tackling inequalities in physical activity, intended to lead to better physical and mental health and stronger communities. Program Delivery: GM Moving supports multiple stakeholders to take action to influence culture, policy, practice, the physical environment, social norms and individual opportunities, motivations, and capabilities to make it easy and usual to be active. Evaluation: GM Moving is evaluated using a realist, developmental, participatory approach. This is appropriate to match the inherent complexity in the WSA, embracing its dynamic, open, interrelated, and emergent nature. The findings explain progress towards system change, both before and during the COVID 19 pandemic. This includes work to challenge dominant ways of working that are not constructive for tackling inequalities in physical activity, promoting collective leadership, working across organisational boundaries, involving local people and communities, adapting strategies based on learning in real time and transforming governance processes. Limitations to progress are also outlined. Conclusions: This study illustrates the operationalisation of a WSA highlighting what may or may not work to create the conditions for population level change in physical activity.

description: We derive conditions for the existence of four-dimensional \N=1 supersymmetric flux vacua of massive type IIA string theory with general supergravity fluxes turned on. For an SU(3) singlet Killing spinor, we show that such flux vacua exist only when the internal geometry is nearly-Kähler. The geometry is not warped, all the allowed fluxes are proportional to the mass parameter and the dilaton is fixed by a ratio of (quantized) fluxes. The four-dimensional cosmological constant, while negative, becomes small in the vacuum with the weak string coupling.

title: A Quantum Group Approach to some Exotic States in Quantum Optics
Creators: name: McDermott, Roger
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1995

description: This subject of this thesis is the physical application of deformations of Lie algebras and their use in generalising some exotic quantum optical states.

 We begin by examining the theory of quantum groups and the q-boson algebras used in their representation theory. Following a review of the properties of conventional coherent states, we describe the extension of the theory to various deformed Heisenberg-Weyl algebras, as well as the q-deformations of su(2) and su(1,1). Using the Deformed Oscillator Algebra of Bonatsos and Daskaloyannis, we construct generalised deformed coherent states and investigate some of their quantum optical properties. We then demonstrate a resolution of unity for such states and suggest a way of investigating the geometric effects of the deformation.

 The formalism devised by Rembielinski et al is used to consider coherent states of the q-boson algebra over the quantum complex plane. We propose a new unitary operator which is a q-analogue of the displacement operator of conventional coherent state theory: This is used to construct q-displaced vacuum states which are eigenstates of the annihilation operator. Some quantum mechanical properties of these states are investigated and it is shown that they formally satisfy a Heisenberg-type minimum uncertainty relation.

 After briefly reviewing the theory of conventional squeezed states, we examine the various q-generalisations. We propose a q-analogue of the squeezed vacuum state, and use this in conjunction with the unitary q-displacement operator to construct a general q-squeezed state, parameterised by noncommuting variables.. It is shown that, like their conventional counterparts, such states satisfy the Robertson-Schrodinger Uncertainty Relation.

 We conclude with a brief discussion about the appearance of noncommuting variables in the states that have been considered.

description: We study singular jets from the collapse of drop-impact craters, when the drop and pool are of different immiscible liquids. These jets emerge from a dimple at the bottom of the rebounding crater, when no bubble is pinched off. The parameter space is considerably more complex than for identical liquids, revealing intricate compound-dimple shapes. In contrast to the universal capillary-inertial drop-regime, where the pinch-off neck radius scales as $R\sim t^{2/3}$, a purely inertial air-dimple has $R \sim t^{1/2}$ and is sensitive to initial and boundary conditions. Capillary waves can therefore mold the dimple into different collapse shapes, with normalized jetting speeds one order of magnitude larger than for jets from bursting bubbles. We study the cross-over between the two power-laws. The fastest jets can pinch off a toroidal micro-bubble from the cusp at the base of the jet.

description: Background: Research suggests that e-cycling can positively impact physical activity (PA) behaviour and lead to improvements in fitness in healthy adults. Little is known about the impact of e-cycling in clinical populations for whom PA engagement is low. Purpose: Examine the association between an e-cycling intervention and PA and health in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) to determine intervention promise. Methods: A parallel-group two-arm randomized waitlist-controlled pilot study was conducted. Forty eligible individuals were randomized into either the e-cycling intervention (Mage=58, 40%Female) or waitlist control (Mage=56, 35%Female). Participants in the e-cycling condition received e-bike training prior to a 12-week e-bike loan. Health outcomes, assessed at pretesting and immediately after the loan, included fasting glucose, HOMA-IR, cardiorespiratory fitness and health related quality of life (HRQoL). Overall PA was measured using the GT3X+ Actigraph accelerometer and PA intensity during e-cycling was measured using the Actiheart. Results: There was a favourable effect of the intervention on fasting glucose (difference in change scores between conditions: 0.67, 95%CI: -0.77, 2.11mmol/L) and HOMA-IR (0.58, 95%CI: -.033, 1.50). The intervention showed promise to improve HRQoL and cardiorespiratory fitness in comparison to the control group. E-cycling was performed at a moderate intensity (median%HR max=72%, IQR: 67, 80). There was an 18-minute increase in PA per week in the intervention group (95%CI: -84.72, 120.15), not seen in the control group (-27.64, 95%CI: -170.33, 79.61). Conclusions: E-cycling shows promise to positively impact health and PA in adults with T2DM and a fully-powered definitive trial is warranted.

description: Background: Medical school programme workloads challenge the physical and mental health of students particularly in graduate entry programmes. There is evidence that physical activity (PA) can improve wellness among medical students. Purpose: To test the feasibility of introducing an exercise programme into the medical school curriculum which would promote health and well-being among its students and educate on the use of exercise as medicine in clinical practice. Methods: The ‘MED-WELL’ programme is a six-week programme of one hour-long weekly sessions, each involving a different type of PA and an educational session on incorporating exercise theory into daily medical practice. Three parameters were used to test feasibility: 1. Recruitment and retention of participants, 2. Acceptability of the programme and 3. Efficacy in terms of health and well-being. The questionnaires were administered pre- and post-intervention and collected data using six distinct validated measurement scales. Free text boxes also encouraged participants to discuss the merits of the programme. Results: It is feasible to introduce this programme into the medical school curriculum. After completing the programme, significant improvements were seen in participant scores in the WHO-5 Well-Being Index, Sleep Quality Scale, Loneliness Scale, and levels of PA during a typical week. Conclusions: This study has shown it is feasible to deliver the ‘MED-WELL’ programme in a medical school curriculum. The programme seems to be of benefit and is acceptable to students. Funding: Funding was provided by the School of Medicine, University of Limerick.

description: Arlington County, located south-west across the Potomac River from the District of Columbia, has developed within the past twenty years from a County with a number of unincorporated villages into an integrated urban area. Prior to this development it was known primarily for its National Cemetery.History has shown that a community in which a governmental seat is located rarely decreases in population but continues to grow. Arlington County's growth in population has paralleled that of the Nation's Capital, with the greatest period of growth beginning with World War II. This growth has continued to date.

description: Purpose: The HERizon Project is a home-based multi-component physical activity (PA) intervention for adolescent girls in the UK and Ireland. This study was a formative evaluation of its implementation during the initial COVID-19 lockdown restrictions. Methods: 42 female participants aged 13 to 16 years old (mean = 14.2, SD = 1.1), were randomly allocated to: (i) the HERizon intervention group (n = 22) or (ii) a wait-list control group (n = 20). Participants in the six-week intervention group were asked to complete three PA sessions of their choice each week, engage in weekly need-supportive videocalls with an Activity Mentor, and had access to live workouts and a private social media group. The primary outcome was self-reported habitual PA. Secondary outcomes included cardiorespiratory fitness (20 m shuttle run), muscular strength (standing long jump), muscular endurance (push up test), and psychosocial outcomes (Perceived Competence Scale, Body Appreciation Scale, Self-Esteem Questionnaire, Behavioural Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire). Outcome measures were assessed at baseline and after the six-week intervention. Quantitative and qualitative process evaluation data were also collected which included online interviews (n = 10). Linear mixed modelling and reflexive thematic analysis were used to analyse the data. Results: There was no significant change in habitual PA between groups (p = 0.767). The intervention group had significantly increased cardiorespiratory fitness (p = 0.001), muscular endurance (p = 0.022), intrinsic motivation (p = 0.037), and body appreciation (p

description: Backgrounds: Adults and older-adults from BME communities in the UK are less likely than their non-BME counterparts to meet the physical-activity recommendations Purpose: To investigate the factors associated with physical-activity among adults and older-adults from the Somali Community in Bristol, United Kingdom. Methods: A sequential exploratory mixed methods design initiated by a systematic review of barriers and facilitators of physical-activity among adults and older-adults from BME groups in the UK, followed by a cross-sectional survey of factors associated with physical-activity among adults and older-adults from the Somali community. Studies were included in the review if they reported on the experiences, barriers and facilitators of physical-activity among adults aged 40 and above. Ten studies conducted between 2007 and 2017 met the inclusion criteria. The survey was underpinned by the Capability-Opportunity-Motivations and Behaviour (COM-B) framework and was completed by 148 participants. Levels of physical-activity was measured using the short-form of International-Physical-activity-Questionnaire (IPAQ) while other validated questionnaires including the Health-Survey-for-England informed the survey design. Result: Findings from the systematic review suggests a substantial gap in research among Black African groups. Over three-quarters of respondents (78%) reported low physical-activity levels while 19% of respondents reported moderate physical-activity levels and only 3% met the requirement for high IPAQ physical-activity levels. The findings show a significant association between IPAQ score of respondents and gender, age, employment status and level of education (p<0.05). Conclusion: Urgent actions are required to address the barriers of physical-activity among BME communities in the UK. Funding: Funded by CPHWB and Well-being, UWE

Non-Gaussian Signatures in the Temperature Fluctuation Observed by the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We present results from a test for the Gaussianity of the whole sky sub-degree scale CMB temperature anisotropy measured by the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP). We calculate the genus from the foreground-subtracted and Kp0-masked WMAP maps and measure the genus shift parameters defined at negative and positive threshold levels and the asymmetry parameter to quantify the deviation from the Gaussian relation. At WMAP Q, V, and W bands, the genus and genus-related statistics imply that the observed CMB sky is consistent with Gaussian random phase field. However, from the genus measurement on the Galactic northern and southern hemispheres, we have found two non-Gaussian signatures at the W band resolution (0.35 degree scale), i.e., the large difference of genus amplitudes between the north and the south and the positive genus asymmetry in the south, which are statistically significant at 2.6 sigma and 2.4 sigma levels, respectively. The large genus amplitude difference also appears in the WMAP Q and V band maps, deviating the Gaussian prediction with a significance level of about 2 sigma. The probability that the genus curves show such a large genus amplitude difference exceeding the observed values at all Q, V, and W bands in a Gaussian sky is only 1.4%. Such non-Gaussian features are reduced as the higher Galactic cut is applied, but their dependence on the Galactic cut is weak. We discuss possible sources that can induce such non-Gaussian features, and conclude that the CMB data with higher signal-to-noise ratio and the accurate foreground model are needed to understand the non-Gaussian signatures.

title: Railwaymen in the North East of England 1890-1930: Industrial and Political Attitudes and Policies
Creators: name: Lawson, Frank
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1995

description: The thesis begins with an analysis of railwaymen in the North East and an examination of the characteristics of the North East of England. It examines the state of trade unionism and industrial relations at the end of the nineteenth century on a local, regional and national basis. It pursues those developments through the first decade of the twentieth century and analyses the political situation over the same period to the extent that this is relevant to the situation of railwaymen. It then looks at individual strikes before the First World War and the hiatus which occurred during the War. It analyses the build-up to industrial strife after the War and up to, and during, the 1926 General Strike and its aftermath. It then follows through political attitudes and policies from 1918-1930. Finally, it considers to what extent there was a separate tradition among railwaymen in the North East throughout the period under study.

The data collected with the DELPHI detector during the years 1999 and 2000 at centre-of-mass energies between 191 GeV and 209 GeV was combined with earlier data to search for phenomena beyond the Standard Model. The measured number of light neutrino families was consistent with three and the absence of an excess of events beyond that predicted by the Standard Model processes was used to set limits on new physics. Both model-independent searches and searches for new processes predicted by supersymmetric and extra-dimensional models have been made. Limits on new non-standard model interactions between neutrinos and electrons were also determined.

description: Background: Inferential evidence is scarce regarding UK-based community-level physical activity (PA) inequalities. Purpose: We explored the impact of sociodemographic factors on PA threshold-achievement, within County Durham, UK. Methods: Four years’ Active Lives data (2015/16-2018/19) were accessed (UK Data Service) and cleaned (n= 421-727.) Multinomial baseline logit models were conducted: total PA, walking-leisure, walking-travel, gardening. Outcomes: active ≥150, fairly active 30–149 and inactive <30 moderate-intensity-equivalent-minutes (MIEMs) per week. Odds ratios were computed for gender, ethnicity, disability, deprivation, work status, NS-SEC, education, urban/rural, coastal/non-coastal, BMI. Results: 70-80% most deprived less likely to be active than least deprived: 2 years [OR 0.34 (0.19, 0.61); OR 0.4 (0.18-0.91)]. GCSE-equivalent less likely to be active than those with HE qualifications: 3 years [OR 0.39 (0.26, 0.59); OR 0.4 (0.27, 0.59); OR 0.57 (0.33, 0.96); OR 0.31 (0.18, 0.51)], similar for walking for leisure [OR 0.65 (0.45, 0.93), OR 0.5 (0.35, 0.7); OR 0.42 (0.26, 0.69)] and walking for travel : 2 years [OR 0.49 (0.28, 0.85); OR 0.34 (0.15, 0.8)]. NS-SEC 6-8 less likely to be active than NS-SEC 1-2: 3 years [OR 0.53 (0.33,0.85); OR 0.51 (0.3, 0.86); OR 0.43 (0.23, 0.8)]. Urban dwellers less likely to be active through walking-leisure than rural: 2 years [OR 1.75 (1.27, 2.43); OR 1.42 (1.05, 1.92)]. BMI ≥30 kg/m2 less likely to be active than those <25 kg/m2: 3 years [OR 0.39 (0.25,0.63); OR 0.52 (0.33, 0.82); OR 0.43 (0.24, 0.77)]. Conclusions: Bespoke consideration of national-level data elucidated some persistent county-level inequalities, relevant to local policy.

description: We present a new, simple and computationally efficient iterative method for low rank matrix completion. Our method is inspired by the class of factorization-type iterative algorithms, but substantially differs from them in the way the problem is cast. Precisely, given a target rank $r$, instead of optimizing on the manifold of rank $r$ matrices, we allow our interim estimated matrix to have a specific over-parametrized rank $2r$ structure. Our algorithm, denoted R2RILS for rank $2r$ iterative least squares, has low memory requirements, and at each iteration it solves a computationally cheap sparse least-squares problem. We motivate our algorithm by its theoretical analysis for the simplified case of a rank-1 matrix. Empirically, R2RILS is able to recover ill conditioned low rank matrices from very few observations -- near the information limit, and it is stable to additive noise.
"With enthusiasm and energy throughout the day": promoting physical activity in people with intellectual disabilities

description: Background: People with intellectual disabilities show significantly lower levels of physical activity compared to the general population. Also, a lack of awareness about unhealthy lifestyles is associated with this group. Concepts addressing the needs of people with intellectual disability and promoting physical activity in their everyday life are rare. An intervention was developed that strengthens physical activity-related health competencies taking into account people's resources, skills, and experiences. Purpose: Presenting results of real-life test (June - October 2020) and communicative validation. Methods: 33 users (five dropouts) with mild to moderate intellectual disabilities and self-selected buddies tested the intervention. After each of the ten sessions a questionnaire with six open questions was filled out together. Answers were analyzed via qualitative content analysis. Results were validated in one group of users and two groups of buddies. Results: Overall, promoting a physically active lifestyle and self-management was achieved well by target-oriented means of an easy-access step-by-step program, addressing users’ knowledge and abilities, applying motivational and volitional strategies, establishing social support systems in the living environment and considering organizational structures. Indications to partially refine the concept were discussed, mainly in order to better address the heterogeneity of users. Based thereon, different language levels were offered and more exercises to experience physical activity were included. Conclusions: So far, the intervention was adopted well. Facilitators were the consideration of the individual’s perceptions, social contexts and living environments. Funding: The project was funded by Stiftung Wohlfahrtspflege NRW.

description: Arlington County, located south-west across the Potomac River from the District of Columbia, has developed within the past twenty years from a County with a number of unincorporated villages into an integrated urban area. Prior to this development it was known primarily for its National Cemetery.History has shown that a community in which a governmental seat is located rarely decreases in population but continues to grow. Arlington County's growth in population has paralleled that of the Nation's Capital, with the greatest period of growth beginning with World War II. This growth has continued to date.

description: In order to understand whether major flares or coronal mass ejections (CMEs) can be related to changes in the longitudinal photospheric magnetic field, we study 4 young active regions during seven days of their disc passage. This time period precludes any biases which may be introduced in studies that look at the field evolution during the short-term flare or CME period only. Data from the Michelson Doppler Imager (MDI) with a time cadence of 96 minutes are used. Corrections are made to the data to account for area foreshortening and angle between line of sight and field direction, and also the underestimation of the flux densities. We make a systematic study of the evolution of the longitudinal magnetic field, and analyze flare and CME occurrence in the magnetic evolution. We find that the majority of CMEs and flares occur during or after new flux emergence. The flux in all four active regions is observed to have deviations from polarity balance both on the long-term (solar rotation) and on the short term (few hours). The long-term imbalance is not due to linkage outside the active region; it is primarily related to the east-west distance from central meridian, with the sign of polarity closer to the limb dominating. The sequence of short term imbalances are not closely linked to CMEs and flares and no permanent imbalance remains after them. We propose that both kinds of imbalance are due to the presence of a horizontal field component (parallel to the photospheric surface) in the emerging flux.

description: We have obtained spectroscopic redshifts for 24 red galaxies from a sample with median Ks=18.7 and F814W - Ks > 4, using the Keck telescope. These EROshave high resolution morphologies from HST (Yan & Thompson 2003). Among the 24 redshifts, the majority (92%) are at $ 0.9 < z < 1.5$. We derived the rest-frame J-band luminosity function at $z_{median} =1.14$. Our result suggests that the luminosity evolution between bright EROs at $z\sim 1$ and the present-day $>$L$^*$ massive galaxies is at most about 0.7 magnitude. Combining the morphologies and deep spectroscopy revealed the following properties: (1) 86% of the spectra have absorption features from old stars, suggesting that the dominant stellar populations seen in the rest-frame UV are old stars. 50% of the sources have pure absorption lines, while the remaining 50% have emission lines, indicating recent star formation. We conclude that the color criterion for EROs is very effective in selecting old stellar populations at $z \sim 1$, and a large fraction of these systems with prominent old stellar populations also have recent star formation. (2) The 12 emission line systems have the same number of disk and bulge galaxies as in the remaining 12 pure absorption line systems. We conclude that spectral classes do not have a simple, direct correspondence with morphological types. (3) Three EROs could be isolated, pure passively evolving early-type galaxies at $z\sim 1$. This implies that only a small fraction (10%--15%) of early-type galaxies are formed in a rapid burst of star formation at high redshifts and evolved passively since then. (Abridged).

description: The ability to detect and count certain substructures in graphs is important for solving many tasks on graph-structured data, especially in the contexts of computational chemistry and biology as well as social network analysis. Inspired by this, we propose to study the expressive power of graph neural networks (GNNs) via their ability to count attributed graph substructures, extending recent works that examine their power in graph isomorphism testing and function approximation. We distinguish between two types of substructure counting: induced-subgraph-count and subgraph-count, and establish both positive and negative answers for popular GNN architectures. Specifically, we prove that Message Passing Neural Networks (MPNNs), 2-Weisfeiler-Lehman (2-WL) and 2-Invariant Graph Networks (2-IGNs) cannot perform induced-subgraph-count of substructures consisting of 3 or more nodes, while they can perform subgraph-count of star-shaped substructures. As an intermediary step, we prove that 2-WL and 2-IGNs are equivalent in distinguishing non-isomorphic graphs, partly answering an open problem raised in Maron et al. (2019). We also prove positive results for k-WL and k-IGNs as well as negative results for k-WL with a finite number of iterations. We then conduct experiments that support the theoretical results for MPNNs and 2-IGNs. Moreover, motivated by substructure counting and inspired by Murphy et al. (2019), we propose the Local Relational Pooling model and demonstrate that it is not only effective for substructure counting but also able to achieve competitive performance on molecular prediction tasks.

description: Background: The prevalence of obesity worldwide has been steadily increasing. Active transportation has been considered to be one of the key factors in obesity prevention. Purpose: To utilize a novel online participatory Geographic Information Systems methodology to assess active transportation among socio-economically disadvantaged adults (25-65 y/o) in Flanders. Methods: Individual Map Creation uses an online platform which has been developed by the Network for Sustainable Mobility Research from University of Ghent. It consists of mapping software that enables socio-economically disadvantaged adults to map the routes that they use on a regular basis using active transportation under the guidance of a researcher. The mapping takes place in an one-to-one session during which a semi-structured interview also is conducted to gain deeper knowledge of the perceptions of the participants on their environment. Results: Through the Individual Map Creation, we expect to gain insight into the utilization and perceptions of active transportation among socio-economically disadvantaged adults in their local environment. Preliminary results might be available in the upcoming months. Conclusions: The construction of an instrument to assess active transportation among socio-economically disadvantaged adults and the inclusion of their perceptions on their environment can increase our knowledge of determinants of that might facilitate or impede the use of active transportation.

description: There is a rich and growing literature on producing local contrastive/counterfactual explanations for black-box models (e.g. neural networks). In these methods, for an input, an explanation is in the form of a contrast point differing in very few features from the original input and lying in a different class. Other works try to build globally interpretable models like decision trees and rule lists based on the data using actual labels or based on the black-box models predictions. Although these interpretable global models can be useful, they may not be consistent with local explanations from a specific black-box of choice. In this work, we explore the question: Can we produce a transparent global model that is simultaneously accurate and consistent with the local (contrastive) explanations of the black-box model? We introduce a natural local consistency metric that quantifies if the local explanations and predictions of the black-box model are also consistent with the proxy global transparent model. Based on a key insight we propose a novel method where we create custom boolean features from sparse local contrastive explanations of the black-box model and then train a globally transparent model on just these, and showcase empirically that such models have higher local consistency compared with other known strategies, while still being close in performance to models that are trained with access to the original data.
Lattice Distortion and Magnetic Ground State of YTiO$_3$ and LaTiO$_3$

description: Effects of lattice distortion on the magnetic ground state of YTiO$_3$ and LaiO$_3$ are investigated on the basis accurate tight-binding parametrization of the $t_{2g}$ electronic structure extracted from the local-density approximation. The complexity of these compounds is related with the fact that the $t_{2g}$-level splitting, caused by lattice distortions, is comparable with the energies of superexchange and spin-orbit interactions. Therefore, all these interactions are equally important and should be treated on an equal footing. The Hartree-Fock approximation fails to provide a coherent description simultaneously for YTiO$_3$ and LaTiO$_3$, and it is essential to go beyond.

description: We present the results of a high-resolution spectroscopic monitoring program of the eclipsing pre-main-sequence star KH 15D that reveal it to be a single-line spectroscopic binary. We find that the best-fit Keplerian model has a period P = 48.38 days, which is nearly identical to the photometric period. Thus, we find the best explanation for the periodic dimming of KH 15D is that the binary motion carries the currently visible star alternately above and below the edge of an obscuring cloud. The data are consistent with the models involving an inclined circumstellar disk, as recently proposed by Winn et al. (2004) and Chiang & Murray-Clay (2004). We show that the mass ratio expected from models of PMS evolution, together with the mass constraints for the visible star, restrict the orbital eccentricity to 0.68 < e < 0.80 and the mass function to 0.125 < Fm < 0.5 Msun.
