description: From VLT/NACO diffraction-limited images of RY~Sgr, we report the first direct detection of heterogeneities in the circumstellar envelope of a R Coronae Borealis variable star. Several bright and very large dust clouds are seen in various directions at several hundred stellar radii from RY Sgr, revealing high activity for the ejection of stellar material by R CrB variables. These observations do support the current interpretation that optically thick dust clouds are formed around the surface of this type of variable stars and, when passing between the star and the observer, produce the huge and sudden declines characterizing these objects in visible light. This is the first direct confirmation of a scenario proposed about 70 years ago.

description: Turbulent dissipation is considered a main source of heating and acceleration in cosmological plasmas. The alternating current Joule-like term, $\langleδj \cdot δE\rangle$, is used to measure the energy transfer between electromagnetic (EM) fields and particles. Because the electric field depends on the reference frame, in which frame to calculate $\langleδj\cdot δE\rangle$ is an important issue. We compute the scale-dependent energy transfer rate spectrum in wavevector space, and investigate the electric-field fluctuations in two reference frames: $δE$ in the mean bulk flow frame and $δE'$ in the local bulk flow frame (non-inertial reference frame). Considering Alfvénic waves, we find that $\langleδj\cdotδE^\prime\rangle$, which neglects the contribution of work done by the ion inertial force, is not consistent with the magnetic field energy damping rate ($2γδB^2$) according to linear Maxwell-Vlasov theory, while $\langleδj\cdot δE\rangle$ is exactly the same as $2γδB^2$ in wavenumber space $(k_\parallel, k_\perp)$, where $γ$ is the linear damping rate. Under typical conditions of solar wind at 1 au, we find in our theoretical calculation that the field energy is mainly converted into proton kinetic energy leaving the residual minor portion for electrons. Although the electrons gain energy in the direction perpendicular to the mean magnetic field, they return a significant fraction of their kinetic energy in the parallel direction. Magnetic-field fluctuations can transfer particle energy between the parallel and perpendicular degrees of freedom. Therefore, $\langleδj_\parallel\cdot δE_\parallel\rangle$ and $\langleδj_\perp\cdot δE_\perp\rangle$ cannot solely describe the energy transfer in parallel direction and perpendicular direction, respectively.

description: O mercado cada vez mais demanda produtos agrícolas certificados. Os países de primeiro mundo, principalmente, exigem em seus produtos informações sobre o processo produtivo e origem, visando tanto à sustentabilidade socioambiental quanto à qualidade intrínseca do produto. O consumidor quer saber como seu alimento foi produzido. Produtos certificados, de acordo com diferentes padrões, estão cada vez mais presentes nas prateleiras de supermercados do mundo todo. Na cafeicultura, isso se repete, talvez sendo o setor agrícola nacional mais evoluído quanto à certificação, muito à frente de outros produtos agrícolas. Diferentes padrões de certificação estão presentes na cafeicultura brasileira hoje, os principais sendo Orgânico, Fair Trade (FT), Utz Certified (UC) e Rain Forest Alliance (RA). Entretanto, cada um desses padrões cobre diferentes aspectos e seus respectivos produtos chegam ao mercado carregados com características distintas. Importante é a caracterização de cada certificação, bem como a sua exposição aos produtores e consumidores para que tomem sua decisão de forma clara e consciente. A certificação de café no Brasil tem contribuído muito para consideráveis melhorias socioambientais no setor produtivo, bem como para a organização interna das propriedades. A certificação na cafeicultura nacional continuará em crescimento e seus benefícios, aos poucos, estão chegando à sociedade.

description: We report an all-optical atomic vector magnetometer using dual Bell-Bloom optical pumping beams in a Rb vapor cell. This vector magnetometer consists of two orthogonal optical pumping beams, with amplitude modulations at $^{85}$Rb and $^{87}$Rb Larmor frequencies respectively. We simultaneously detect atomic signals excited by these two pumping beams using a single probe beam in the third direction, and extract the field orientation information using the phase delays between the modulated atomic signals and the driving beams. By adding a Herriott cavity inside the vapor cell, we improve the magnetometer sensitivity. We study the performance of this vector magnetometer in a magnetic field ranging from 100~mG to 500~mG, and demonstrate a field angle sensitivity better than 10~$μ$rad/Hz$^{1/2}$ above 10~Hz.

Cosmological constraints on the dark energy equation of state and its evolution

description: We have calculated constraints on the evolution of the equation of state of the dark energy, w(z), from a joint analysis of data from the cosmic microwave background, large scale structure and type-Ia supernovae. In order to probe the time-evolution of w we propose a new, simple parametrization of w, which has the advantage of being transparent and simple to extend to more parameters as better data becomes available. Furthermore it is well behaved in all asymptotic limits. Based on this parametrization we find that w(z=0)=-1.43^{+0.16}_{-0.38} and dw/dz(z=0) = 1.0^{+1.0}_{-0.8}. For a constant w we find that -1.34 < w < -0.79 at 95% C.L. Thus, allowing for a time-varying w shifts the best fit present day value of w down. However, even though models with time variation in w yield a lower chi^2 than pure LambdaCDM models, they do not have a better goodness-of-fit. Rank correlation tests on SNI-a data also do not show any need for a time-varying w.

On the Computation of Dipole Moments: A Recommendation on the Choice of the Basis Set and the Level of Theory

description: Together with experimental data, theoretically predicted dipole moments represent a valuable tool for different branches in the chemical and physical sciences. With the diversity of levels of theory and basis sets available, a reliable combination must be carefully chosen in order to achieve accurate predictions. In a recent publication (arXiv:1709.05075 [physics.chem-ph]), Hait and Head-Gordon took a first step in this regard by providing recommendations on the best density functionals suitable for these purposes. However, no extensive study has been performed to provide recommendations on the basis set choice. Here, we shed some light into this matter by evaluating the performance of 38 general-purpose basis sets of single up to triple zeta-quality, when coupled with nine different levels of theory, in the computation of dipole moments. The calculations were performed on a data set with 114 small molecules containing second- and third-row elements. We based our analysis in regularised root mean square errors (regularised RMSE) as this procedure ensures relative errors for ionic species and absolute errors for species with small dipole moment values. Our results indicate that the best compromise between accuracy and computational efficiency is achieved by performing the computations with an augmented double zeta-quality basis set (i.e. aug-pc-1, aug-pcseg-1, aug-cc-pVDZ) together with a hybrid functional (e.g. wB97X-V, SOGGA11-X). Augmented triple-zeta basis sets could enhance the accuracy of the computations, but the computational cost of introducing such a basis set is substantial compared with the small improvement provided. These findings also highlight the crucial role that augmentation of the basis set with diffuse functions on both hydrogen and non-hydrogen atoms plays in the computation of dipole moments.

description: User-friendly single-photon sources with high photon-extraction efficiency are crucial building blocks for photonic quantum applications. For many of these applications, such as long-distance quantum key distribution, the use of single-mode optical fibers is mandatory, which leads to stringent requirements regarding the device design and fabrication. We report on the on-chip integration of a quantum dot microlens with a 3D-printed micro-objective in combination with a single-mode on-chip fiber coupler. The practical quantum device is realized by deterministic fabrication of the QD-microlens via in-situ electron-beam lithography and 3D two-photon laser writing of the on-chip micro-objective and fiber-holder. The QD with microlens is an efficient single-photon source, whose emission is collimated by the on-chip micro-objective. A second polymer microlens is located at the end facet of the single-mode fiber and ensures that the collimated light is efficiently coupled into the fiber core. For this purpose, the fiber is placed in the on-chip fiber chuck, which is precisely aligned to the QD-microlens thanks to the sub-$μ$m processing accuracy of high-resolution two-photon direct laser writing. This way, we obtain a fully integrated high-quality quantum device with broadband photon extraction efficiency, a single-mode fiber-coupling efficiency of 26%, a single-photon flux of 1.5 MHz at single-mode fibre output and a multi-photon probability of 13 % under pulsed optical excitation. In addition, the stable design of the developed fiber-coupled quantum device makes it highly attractive for integration into user-friendly plug-and-play quantum applications.

description: We study a three-state Potts model extended by allowing cyclic dominance between the states as it appears for the rock-scissors-paper game. Monte Carlo simulations are performed on a square lattice when varying the temperature and the strength of cyclic dominance. It is shown that the critical phase transition from the disordered state to the ordered one is destroyed by the cyclic dominance that yields a self-organizing pattern even at low temperatures. The differences and similarities are discussed between the present model and the half-filled, driven lattice gases with repulsive interaction.

description: Existing studies on the economic impact of wildfire smoke have focused either on single fire events or entire fire seasons without distinguishing between individual occurrences. Neither approach allows for an examination of the marginal effects of fire attributes, such as distance and fuel type, on health impacts and costs. Yet, improved knowledge of these marginal effects can provide important guidance for efficient wildfire management strategies. This study aims to bridge this gap using detailed information on 35 large-scale wildfires in the California and Nevada Sierras that have sent smoke plumes to the Reno / Sparks area of Northern Nevada over a three-year period. We relate the daily acreage burned by these fires to daily data on local hospital admissions for acute respiratory syndrome. Using information on treatment expenses, we compute the per-acre cost of wildfires of different attributes with respect to respiratory admissions. We find that while nearby fires are four-five times more damaging than remote fires, hospital admissions can be causally linked to fires as far as 200-250 miles from the impact area. Our results highlight the economic benefits of fire suppression, and the importance of inter-regional agency collaboration in the management of forest fires.
Exceptional Points of Degeneracy Directly Induced by Space-Time Modulation of a Single Transmission Line

description: We demonstrate how exceptional points of degeneracy (EPDs) are induced in a single transmission line (TL) directly by applying periodic space-time modulation to the per-unit-length distributed capacitance. In such space-time modulated (STM)-TL, two eigenmodes coalesce into a single degenerate one, in their eigenvalues (wavenumbers) and eigenvectors (voltage-current states) when the system approaches the EPD condition. The EPD condition is achieved by tuning a parameter in the space-time modulation, such as spatial or temporal modulation frequency, or the modulation depth. We unequivocally demonstrate the occurrence of the EPD by showing that the bifurcation of the wavenumber around the EPD is described by the Puiseux fractional power series expansion. We show that the first order expansion is sufficient to approximate well the dispersion diagram, and how this "exceptional" sensitivity of an STM-TL to tiny changes of any TL or modulation parameter enables a possible application as a highly sensitive TL sensor when operating at an EPD.

Individual differences in psychological feelings of contamination

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Feelings of contamination can arise without physical contact with a contaminant. This study examined individual differences in sensitivity to mental contamination. Female undergraduates at UBC (n=100) filled out a series of questionnaires and listened to an audiotape that instructed them to imagine experiencing a forced kiss by an undesirable male. Controls (n=20) imagined a consensual kiss by a desirable male. Women in the nonconsensual condition reported greater feelings of dirtiness and urge to wash than those in the consensual condition. Twenty-seven women rinsed in order to alleviate physical sensations evoked by the tape. High scores on measures of physical contamination fears predicted reported dirtiness and urge to wash. Actual rinsing was associated with higher scores on fear of negative evaluation. Results are discussed in terms of methodological issues, as well as implications for future research into contamination.

description: We derive essential elements of quantum mechanics from a parametric structure extending that of traditional mathematical statistics. The basic setting is a set $\mathcal{A}$ of incompatible experiments, and a transformation group $G$ on the cartesian product $Π$ of the parameter spaces of these experiments. The set of possible parameters is constrained to lie in a subspace of $Π$, an orbit or a set of orbits of $G$. Each possible model is then connected to a parametric Hilbert space. The spaces of different experiments are linked unitarily, thus defining a common Hilbert space $\mathbf{H}$. A state is equivalent to a question together with an answer: the choice of an experiment $a\in\mathcal{A}$ plus a value for the corresponding parameter. Finally, probabilities are introduced through Born's formula, which is derived from a recent version of Gleason's theorem. This then leads to the usual formalism of elementary quantum mechanics in important special cases. The theory is illustrated by the example of a quantum particle with spin.

description: Drug target interaction (DTI) prediction is a foundational task for in silico drug discovery, which is costly and time-consuming due to the need of experimental search over large drug compound space. Recent years have witnessed promising progress for deep learning in DTI predictions. However, the following challenges are still open: (1) the sole data-driven molecular representation learning approaches ignore the sub-structural nature of DTI, thus produce results that are less accurate and difficult to explain; (2) existing methods focus on limited labeled data while ignoring the value of massive unlabelled molecular data. We propose a Molecular Interaction Transformer (MolTrans) to address these limitations via: (1) knowledge inspired sub-structural pattern mining algorithm and interaction modeling module for more accurate and interpretable DTI prediction; (2) an augmented transformer encoder to better extract and capture the semantic relations among substructures extracted from massive unlabeled biomedical data. We evaluate MolTrans on real world data and show it improved DTI prediction performance compared to state-of-the-art baselines.

description: Quantum fluctuations are ubiquitous in physics. Ranging from conventional examples like the harmonic oscillator to intricate theories on the origin of the universe, they alter virtually all aspects of matter -- including superconductivity, phase transitions and nanoscale processes. As a rule of thumb, the smaller the object, the larger their impact. This poses a serious challenge to modern nanotechnology, which aims total control via atom-by-atom engineered devices. In magnetic nanostructures, high stability of the magnetic signal is crucial when targeting realistic applications in information technology, e.g. miniaturized bits. Here, we demonstrate that zero-point spin-fluctuations are paramount in determining the fundamental magnetic exchange interactions that dictate the nature and stability of the magnetic state. Hinging on the fluctuation-dissipation theorem, we establish that quantum fluctuations correctly account for the large overestimation of the interactions as obtained from conventional static first-principles frameworks, filling in a crucial gap between theory and experiment [1,2]. Our analysis further reveals that zero-point spin-fluctuations tend to promote the non-collinearity and stability of chiral magnetic textures such as skyrmions -- a counter-intuitive quantum effect that inspires practical guidelines for designing disruptive nanodevices.

description: This paper examines the role of institutional environments on cotton farmer technical efficiency scores in Benin, Burkina Faso, and Mali using a stochastic frontier production approach. First, the key institutional changes that have occurred with the recent market-oriented reforms are discussed. Then, farm efficiency per country is measured using cross-sectional data collected by the Cotton Sector Reform Project of the Africa, Power, and Politics Programme in 2009. Results from a one-stage estimation procedure suggest that while no technical inefficiency exists in Benin, an average technical efficiency of 69% and 46% is found in Burkina Faso and Mali, respectively. Agricultural development policies focusing on reducing the inefficiency at the farm level in Mali and Burkina Faso should be adopted; whereas policies designed to shift outward the production frontier seem more appropriate in Benin. Interestingly, institutional environment factors explaining variations in efficiency scores differ across countries. In Mali, farms that are food secure and that cultivate more hectares of cereals are more technically efficient in producing cotton. In contrast, Burkinabe farmers who are dissatisfied with the management of their producer organizations are more technically efficient. To be successful, efforts to promote efficiency would have to work in concert with the local realities in each country.

description: First mid-infrared images of a sample of AGB and post-AGB carbon stars (V Hya, IRC +10216, CIT 6 and Roberts 22) obtained at La Silla Observatory (ESO, Chile) are reported. CIT 6 presents a cometary-like feature clearly seen in the 9.7$μ$m image, Roberts 22 shows an envelope slightly elongated in the north-east direction while images of V Hya and IRC+10216 are roughly spherically symmetric. Using inversion technique, the dust emissivity was derived from the observed intensity profiles, allowing a determination of the grain temperature and density distributions inside the envelope for these stars. Dust masses and mass-loss rates were estimated for V Hya and IRC +10216. Our results are comparable to those obtained in previous studies if dust grains have dimensions in the range $\sim$ 0.01 - 0.2 $μ$m. Color maps suggest the presence of temperature inhomogeneities in the central regions of the dust envelopes. In the case of V Hya, an eccentric hot point, which direction coincides with the jet previously seen in [SII] emission, suggest that we are observing a material ejected in a previous mass-loss event. Bipolar lobes are clearly seen in the color maps of Roberts 22 and IRC +10216.

Recollections of my Indian career

description: Notes on ‘Recollections of My Indian Career’ by General JM Cripps, published in 1888
 My great grandfather, JM Cripps published the memoirs of his more than fifty year illustrious career in the Bengal Lancers of colonial India during the British Raj where he saw action in Afghanistan, the Battle of the Sutlej (the Sikh War) and the Great Mutiny of 1857, of which he writes some interesting firsthand descriptions. Recollections was published in 1888 as a vanity volume, and he distributed its thirteen (only) leather-bound, gilt-edged copies to close family members. He married Agnes, my great-grandmother and their daughter Grace was born in Peshawar. Agnes was an accomplished watercolourist and documented her travels in India, Suez, Greece, Florence and England with her paintings. Her original watercolours populated the thirteen volumes. Alas, my original book is the only known copy left in existence. I’m told that a poor photocopy exists in a history museum in New Delhi and another in London, but I lack proof thereof.
 General Cripp’s daughter, Grace married my grandfather, Dr. Harold Stephens, who served as a field surgeon in the Boer War and who rose to Surgeon Commander of the Royal Navy. For his services to Queen Victoria, he was given farmland in Glenora, near Duncan in Vancouver Island which his son, my father Rupert Edward Cripps Stephens inherited. Mountain Valley Farm was stony and off the beaten path, so in 1950, my parents sold it and carved out of a second growth forest the beautiful 40 acre Goldstream Berry Paradise on Vancouver Island where I grew up, reading this book, but mostly fascinated with great-grandmother’s exquisite watercolours within its leather bound gilt-edged pages, sometimes imagining myself as Mowgli, the wolf child of India from the beloved Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling.
 I have made many visits to the Indian subcontinent, and in 1969 in Old Delhi, married Ratana—a lovely, principled, astute and educated Indian woman, Ratana, which means ‘jewel’ returned with me to Vancouver and together we have four children and seven grandchildren; together we built a significant social enterprise that employs more than 700 and whose products are sold in over fifty countries. Our son, Arjan, did his undergrad BA history thesis on this very book at Queen’s University in Ontario.
 We were very pleased when we learned that the University of BC expressed interest in properly copying and documenting this valuable and informative tome for posterity.

description: We have produced a cryogenic buffer-gas cooled beam of the diatomic molecular radical CH (methylidyne). This molecule is of interest for studying cold chemical reactions and fundamental physics measurements. Its light mass and ground-state structure make it a promising candidate for electrostatic guiding and Stark deceleration, which allows for control over its kinetic energy. This control can facilitate studies of reactions with tuneable collision energies and trapping for precise spectroscopic studies. Here, we have demonstrated electrostatic guiding of CH with fluxes up to $10^9$ molecules per steradian per pulse

description: We model the marginal impacts of wind turbine development on county-level changes in per capita income and employment in 15 states from 2000 to 2008. Using propensity score matching and spatial econometric techniques, we find that the total marginal impact on per capita income of wind turbine development (measured in MW per capita) when controlling for spatial effects was statistically significant with a value of $21,604 per MW. This estimate is within the range of values estimated in the literature using input-output models. Our ex post estimates of employment impacts are not precise enough to inform the validity of ex ante employment impacts from input-output models.

Tidal Inflation Reconciles Low-Density Sub-Saturns with Core Accretion

description: While the Solar System contains no planets between the sizes of Uranus and Saturn, our current exoplanet census includes several dozen such planets with well-measured masses and radii. These sub-Saturns exhibit a diversity of bulk densities, ranging from ~$0.1-3\ \rm{g\ cm}^{-3}$. When modeled simply as hydrogen/helium envelopes atop rocky cores, this diversity in densities translates to a diversity in planetary envelope fractions, $f_\rm{env}=M_\rm{env}/M_p$ ranging from ~$10\%$ to ~$50\%$. Planets with $f_\rm{env}\sim50\%$ pose a challenge to traditional models of giant planet formation by core-nucleated accretion, which predict the onset of runaway gas accretion when $M_\rm{env}\sim M_\rm{core}$. Here we show that many of these apparent $f_\rm{env}\sim50\%$ planets are less envelope rich than they seem, after accounting for tidal heating. We present a new framework for modeling sub-Saturn interiors that incorporates envelope inflation due to tides, which are driven by the observed non-zero eccentricities, as well as potential obliquities. Consequently, when we apply our models to known sub-Saturns, we infer lower $f_\rm{env}$ than tides-free estimates. We present a case study of K2-19 b, a moderately eccentric sub-Saturn. Neglecting tides, K2-19 b appears to have $f_\rm{env}\sim50\%$, poised precariously near the runaway threshold; by including tides, we find $f_\rm{env}\sim10\%$, resolving the tension. Through a systematic analysis of $4-8\ R_{\oplus}$ planets, we find that most (but not all) of the similarly envelope-rich planets have more modest envelopes of $f_\rm{env}\sim10\%-20\%$. Thus, many sub-Saturns may be understood as sub-Neptunes that have undergone significant radius inflation, rather than a separate class of objects. Tidal radius inflation likely plays an important role in other size classes of planets including ultra-low-density Jupiter-size planets like WASP-107 b.

description: A new optimized quasihelically symmetric configuration is described that has the desir-able properties of improved energetic particle confinement, reduced turbulent transportby 3D shaping, and non-resonant divertor capabilities. The configuration presented in thispaper is explicitly optimized for quasihelical symmetry, energetic particle confinement,neoclassical confinement, and stability near the axis. Post optimization, the configurationwas evaluated for its performance with regard to energetic particle transport, idealmagnetohydrodynamic (MHD) stability at various values of plasma pressure, and iontemperature gradient instability induced turbulent transport. The effect of discrete coilson various confinement figures of merit, including energetic particle confinement, aredetermined by generating single-filament coils for the configuration. Preliminary divertoranalysis shows that coils can be created that do not interfere with expansion of thevessel volume near the regions of outgoing heat flux, thus demonstrating the possibilityof operating a non-resonant divertor.
