description: We introduce the Swift Gamma-Ray Burst Host Galaxy Legacy Survey ("SHOALS"), a multi-observatory high-redshift galaxy survey targeting the largest unbiased sample of long-duration gamma-ray burst hosts yet assembled (119 in total). We describe the motivations of the survey and the development of our selection criteria, including an assessment of the impact of various observability metrics on the success rate of afterglow-based redshift measurement. We briefly outline our host-galaxy observational program, consisting of deep Spitzer/IRAC imaging of every field supplemented by similarly-deep, multi-color optical/NIR photometry, plus spectroscopy of events without pre-existing redshifts. Our optimized selection cuts combined with host-galaxy follow-up have so far enabled redshift measurements for 110 targets (92%) and placed upper limits on all but one of the remainder. About 20% of GRBs in the sample are heavily dust-obscured, and at most 2% originate from z>5.5. Using this sample we estimate the redshift-dependent GRB rate density, showing it to peak at z~2.5 and fall by about an order of magnitude towards low (z=0) redshift, while declining more gradually towards high (z~7) redshift. This behavior is consistent with a progenitor whose formation efficiency varies modestly over cosmic history. Our survey will permit the most detailed examination to date of the connection between the GRB host population and general star-forming galaxies, directly measure evolution in the host population over cosmic time and discern its causes, and provide new constraints on the fraction of cosmic star-formation occurring in undetectable galaxies at all redshifts.

description: In Bangladesh, the fisheries sector directly employs about 18.5 million people and generates 3.57% of the total GDP and 25.30% of the agricultural GDP. It provides 60% of the daily animal protein intakes of Bangladeshis. The goal of this research is to understand the socioeconomic situation of the coastal SSF, to do this primary and secondary data are utilised. Primary data was collected from one coastal district. Sample size was 501 which was calculated using a conventional formula with a 95% confidence level. The research finds that, small-scale fishermen are facing serious socioeconomic issues. Average monthly income of the 42.51% respondents ranges from 6,000 to 15,000 taka. Rohingya influx caused a ban on fishing from a river and thus monthly income of 71.46% SSF fall between 6,000 and 10,000 taka. While the national average monthly income in Bangladesh is 20122 taka. Compared to socioeconomic indicators at the national level, more landless, homeless, powerless, and extremely poor persons are observed among fishers. Concerningly, 62% of women responders said they have experienced various forms of violence. This study provides evidence that SSF households require special consideration. In light of this, the study also makes some specific suggestions.

description: The surface topography often is an important quality criterion for the manufacturing of milled workpieces as it often defines their functional behaviour. In machining both, the kinematics of the process and the stochastic influences deriving from the machine tool, workpiece and the surrounding environment affect the workpiece's surface roughness. This paper presents a simulation-based method for flank milling, which considers kinematic and stochastic influences including run-out errors and tooth length variations. The simulation results are used in combination to predict the surface roughness depending on the chosen process parameters. Hence, also making in possible to choose appropriate process parameters to achieve a defined surface roughness.

description: Chitinases convert chitin into chitin oligomers and are also known antifungal agents. Chitin oligomers have numerous industrial applications. However, chitin’s crystalline nature requires pretreatment before breakdown into oligomers. In the study, a novel marine bacterium Bacillus aryabhattai is isolated from the Arabian Sea. Bacterial growth in different crystalline chitin substrates like chitin powder, chitin flakes, and colloidal chitin confirmed the chitinase presence in bacterium could act upon insoluble crystalline chitin with the fractional release of oligomers. The domain architecture analysis of the chitinase confirmed the presence of two N-terminal LysM domains which help enzyme action on crystalline chitin. Statistical optimization of media and Process parameters revealed glycerol, yeast extract, magnesium chloride, and manganese sulfate as significant media components along with colloidal chitin. The optimum process parameters such as pH 7, temperature 40 °C, inoculum size 12.5% (v/v), and inoculum age 20 hours enhanced the specific enzyme activity to ±146.2 U/mL, ±114.9 U/mL and ±175.4 U/mL against chitin powder, chitin flakes and colloidal chitin respectively, which is five to six times higher than basal level activity. The antifungal activity of chitinase against plant pathogenic fungi like Candida albicans and Fusarium oxysporum revealed a zone of inhibition with 14 mm diameter.

description: The design process for stiffened lightweight structures faces many challenges. Current design goals, especially in the aircraft industry, demand significant decrease in structural weight while keeping development and manufacturing costs low. Therefore, more complex design choices are investigated and show promising potential. The resulting increase in computational effort presents a remaining challenge. A novel approach for the design of stiffened lightweight structures, that enables strategic application of individualization and therefore allocates computational effort to areas of a structure where high benefits can be expected, is presented. Starting from a structure with common parts, the concept of individualization, i.e. adapting the design to local loads, is applied iteratively to selected parts of the structure. The methodology of strategic individualization is explained in detail before being applied to an example structure. This application shows the general capability of the methodology to design lightweight structures with less computational effort compared to a conventional approach.

description: The relativistic scattering of spin-0 bosons by spherically symmetric Coulomb fields is analyzed in detail with an arbitrary mixing of vector and scalar couplings. It is shown that the partial wave series reduces the scattering amplitude to the closed Rutherford formula exactly when the vector and scalar potentials have the same magnitude, and as an approximation for weak fields. The behavior of the scattering amplitude near the conditions that furnish its closed form is also discussed. Strong suppressions of the scattering amplitude when the vector and scalar potentials have the same magnitude are observed either for particles or antiparticles with low incident momentum. We point out that such strong suppressions might be relevant in the analysis of the scattering of fermions near the conditions for the spin and pseudospin symmetries. From the complex poles of the partial scattering amplitude the exact closed form of bound-state solutions for both particles and antiparticles with different scenarios for the coupling constants are obtained. Perturbative breaking of the accidental degeneracy appearing in a pair of special cases is related to the nonconservation of the Runge-Lenz vector.

description: Given a quantum Hamiltonian and its evolution time, the corresponding unitary evolution operator can be constructed in many different ways, corresponding to different trajectories between the desired end-points and different series expansions. A choice among these possibilities can then be made to obtain the best computational complexity and control over errors. It is shown how a construction based on Grover's algorithm scales linearly in time and logarithmically in the error bound, and is exponentially superior in error complexity to the scheme based on the straightforward application of the Lie-Trotter formula. The strategy is then extended first to simulation of any Hamiltonian that is a linear combination of two projection operators, and then to any local efficiently computable Hamiltonian. The key feature is to construct an evolution in terms of the largest possible steps instead of taking small time steps. Reflection operations and Chebyshev expansions are used to efficiently control the total error on the overall evolution, without worrying about discretisation errors for individual steps. We also use a digital implementation of quantum states that makes linear algebra operations rather simple to perform.

description: The growth of the electronic book market has allowed publishers to make many previously outof- print titles available, cost-effectively, in an electronic format. However, as of January 2012, there were still nearly 2,700,000 out-of-print titles that are unavailable as eBooks. The goal of this paper is to generate estimates of how much producer and consumer surplus could be created by making these out-of-print titles available in eBook markets.
To do this, we first collect a unique dataset, comprising a random sample of all out-of-print titles that are and that are not available in eBook markets. We then use Bayesian Propensity Score Matching techniques to match books in these two samples based on their observable characteristics. Using these matched titles, we estimate that making the remaining 2.7 million out-of-print books available as eBooks could create $740 million in revenue and $860 million in consumer surplus in the first year after their debut. We also estimate that $460 million of this revenue would accrue directly to publishers and authors as profit.

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit fokussiert die Konstitution des Körpers in unserer Gesellschaft aus soziologischer Perspektive. Hierbei werden die theoretischen Schwerpunkte auf subjektivierungs- sowie performativitätstheoretische Überlegungen gelegt, welche den Körper als diskursiv erschaffenes Konstrukt fassen. Der Körper unterliegt dabei streng normativer Vorstellungen, welche unsere Wahrnehmung und Bewertung der Körperlichkeit stets beeinflussen. Von Geburt an werden wir mit diesem spezifischen Wissen konfrontiert und wachsen unter dem Schirm normativer Strukturen auf. Somit ist es nicht verwunderlich, dass auch der pädagogische Raum von spezifischen Macht Wissen-Komplexen durchzogen ist, welche Kinder und Jugendliche in ihrer Körperlichkeit beeinflussen. Um diese Prozesse innerhalb der Pädagogik genauer in den Fokus zu nehmen, werden zwei Schulbücher der Primarstufe diskursanalytisch untersucht. Die Betrachtung konzentriert sich dabei darauf, inwiefern 'normative' wie 'differente' Körperlichkeiten produziert und somit als scheinbar ontologisches Wissen an Kinder übermittelt werden.
 The present work focuses on the constitution of the body in our society from a sociological perspective. Here, the theoretical focus is placed on subjectivation- and performativity-theoretical considerations, which conceive the body as a discursively created construct. The body is subject to strictly normative notions, which always influence our perception and evaluation of corporeality. From birth we are confronted with this specific knowledge and grow up under the umbrella of normative structures. Therefore, it is not surprising that the pedagogical space is also permeated by specific power-knowledge complexes, which influence children and adolescents in their corporeality.
 In order to focus on these processes within pedagogy, two primary school textbooks are analyzed for discourse analysis. The study focuses on the extent to which ’normative' and ’different' corporealities are produced and thus transmitted to children as seemingly ontological knowledge.

description: Serotonin (5-HT) is a neurotransmitter involved in many biophysiological processes in the brain and in the gastrointestinal tract. Electrochemical methods are commonly used to quantify 5-HT, but their reliability may suffer due to the time-dependent nature of adsorption-limited 5-HT detection, as well as electrode fouling over repeated measurements. Mathematical characterization and modeling of adsorption-based electrochemical signal generation would improve reliability of 5-HT measurement. Here, a model was developed to track 5-HT electrode adsorption and resulting current output by combining Langmuir adsorption kinetic equations and adsorption-limited electrochemical equations. 5-HT adsorption binding parameters were experimentally determined at a carbon-nanotube coated Au electrode: KD = 7 × 10−7 M, kon = 130 M−1 s−1, koff = 9.1 × 10−5 s−1. A computational model of 5-HT adsorption was then constructed, which could effectively predict 5-HT fouling over 50 measurements (R2 = 0.9947), as well as predict electrode responses over varying concentrations and measurement times. The model aided in optimizing the measurement of 5-HT secreted from a model enterochromaffin cell line—RIN14B—minimizing measurement time. The presented model simplified and improved the characterization of 5-HT detection at the selected electrode. This could be applied to many other adsorption-limited electrochemical analytes and electrode types, contributing to the improvement of application-specific modeling and optimization processes.

description: Grain boundaries in epitaxial graphene on the SiC(000$\bar{1}$) substrate are studied using scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy. All investigated small-angle grain boundaries show pronounced out-of-plane buckling induced by the strain fields of constituent dislocations. The ensemble of observations allows to determine the critical misorientation angle of buckling transition $θ_c = 19 \pm~2^\circ$. Periodic structures are found among the flat large-angle grain boundaries. In particular, the observed $θ= 33\pm2^\circ$ highly ordered grain boundary is assigned to the previously proposed lowest formation energy structural motif composed of a continuous chain of edge-sharing alternating pentagons and heptagons. This periodic grain boundary defect is predicted to exhibit strong valley filtering of charge carriers thus promising the practical realization of all-electric valleytronic devices.

description: We present rest-frame NIR luminosities and stellar masses for a large and uniformly-selected population of GRB host galaxies using deep Spitzer Space Telescope imaging of 119 targets from the Swift GRB Host Galaxy Legacy Survey spanning 0.03 < z < 6.3, and determine the effects of galaxy evolution and chemical enrichment on the mass distribution of the GRB host population across cosmic history. We find strong evolution in the host luminosity distribution between z~0.5 (median absolute NIR AB magnitude ~ -18.5, corresponding to M* ~ 3x10^8 M_sun and z~1.5), but negligible variation between z~1.5 and z~5 (median magnitude ~ -21.2, corresponding to M* ~ 5x10^9 M_sun). Dust-obscured GRBs dominate the massive host population but are only rarely seen associated with low-mass hosts, indicating that massive star-forming galaxies are universally and (to some extent) homogeneously dusty at high-redshift while low-mass star-forming galaxies retain little dust in their ISM. Comparing our luminosity distributions to field surveys and measurements of the high-z mass-metallicity relation, our results have good consistency with a model in which the GRB rate per unit star-formation is constant in galaxies with gas-phase metallicity below approximately the Solar value but heavily suppressed in more metal-rich environments. This model also naturally explains the previously-reported "excess" in the GRB rate beyond z>2; metals stifle GRB production in most galaxies at z<1.5 but have only minor impact at higher redshifts. The metallicity threshold we infer is much higher than predicted by single-star models and favors a binary progenitor. Our observations also constrain the fraction of cosmic star-formation in low-mass galaxies undetectable to Spitzer to be a small minority at most redshifts (~10% at z~2, ~25% at z~3, and ~50% at z=3.5-6.0).

description: A lack of consideration of outdoor spaces of universities has resulted in lower outdoor thermal comfort in summer. This study investigates the thermal comfort of outdoor spaces of a university in summer and proposes the model’s accuracy and optimization strategies to improve the outdoor thermal environment, including vegetation greening, building morphology, and surface albedo. The ENVI-met program was used for the simulation. The measured data were utilized to verify the accuracy of the simulation model. The typical meteorological year data were applied as the inlet boundary condition of the optimized case. The simulation results show that vegetation greening has the most significant effect on improving the outdoor thermal environment. At a greening rate of 45%, the air temperature (Ta), mean radiant temperature (Tmrt), and physiological equivalent temperature (PET) in the study area were 3.2 °C, 14.4 °C, and 6.9 °C lower, respectively, than that in the base case. In areas shaded by building, the Ta, Tmrt, and PET were 2 °C, 8.7 °C, and 5.5 °C lower, respectively, than that in the base case. Increasing the height of buildings did not significantly improve thermal comfort when the height-to-width ratio (H/W) exceeded 1.0. Increasing the ground albedo from 0.2 (base case) to 0.6 can reduce the Ta by 1.44 °C but increase the Tmrt by 3.7 °C and the PET by 4.3 °C. These findings can be used by urban planners to develop sustainable cities and improve thermal comfort on university campuses.

description: A simple optimal control model is introduced, where “bridge building”
positions are rewarded. The optimal solutions can be classified in regards
of the two extern parameters, (1) costs for the control staying at such
an exposed position and (2) the discount rate. A complete analytical
description of the bifurcation lines in parameter space is derived, which
separates regions with different optimal behavior. These are resisting the
influence from inner and outer forces, always fall off from the boundaries
or decide based on one’s initial state. This latter case gives rise to the
emergence of so-called Dechert-Nishimura-Skiba (DNS) points describing
optimal solution strategies. Furthermore the bifurcation from a single
DNS point into two DNS points has been analyzed in parameter space.
All these strategies have a funded interpretation within the limits of the
model.

description: A rather general method for determining the spin density matrix of a multi-particle system from angular decay data is presented. The method is based on a Bloch parameterisation of the $d$-dimensional generalised Gell-Mann representation of $ρ$ and exploits the associated Wigner- and Weyl-transforms on the sphere. Each parameter of a (possibly multipartite) spin density matrix can be measured from a simple average over an appropriate set of experimental angular decay distributions. The general procedures for both projective and non-projective decays are described, and the Wigner $P$ and $Q$ symbols calculated for the cases of spin-half, spin-one, and spin-3/2 systems. The methods are used to examine Monte Carlo simulations of $pp$ collisions for bipartite systems: $pp\rightarrow W^+W^-$, $pp\rightarrow ZZ$, $pp\rightarrow ZW^+$, $pp\rightarrow W^+\bar{t}$, $t\bar{t}$, and those from the Higgs boson decays $H\rightarrow WW^{*}$ and $H\rightarrow ZZ^*$. Measurements are proposed for entanglement detection, exchange symmetry detection and Bell inequality violation in bipartite systems.

description: Due to the industrial success of fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) light-weight components, the demand for joining methods suitable for FRP increases as well. Conventional joining elements like rivets and screws or simple clamping are designed for an application in conventional isotropic materials such as steel or aluminum. Therefore, by design these joining elements do not consider characteristic FRP properties such as the orthotropic (fiber) or the setting behavior of matrix materials that are subjected to a constant load. Thus, without any FRP specific adjustments, conventional joining elements will, in most cases, lead to poor results and an inferior joint. Hence, this investigation presents the concept of a layered local metal-hybrid area that can be used as a load introduction element, the "Multilayer-Insert". The design aspects of the hybrid area are discussed for several stacking options. Furthermore, the sensitivity to geometrical design variables and asymmetrical stackings are investigated by a simplified two-dimensional finite element model. The deduced parameter relations are discussed in the context of an application in an automated fiber placement process in order to formulate recommendations for the geometrical parameters.

description: We study the localization of eigenfunctions produced by a point scatterer on a thin rectangle. We find an explicit set of eigenfunctions localized to part of the rectangle by showing that the one-dimensional Schrödinger operator with a Dirac delta potential asymptotically governs the spectral properties of the two-dimensional point scatterer. We also find the rate of localization in terms of the aspect ratio of the rectangle. In addition, we present numerical results regarding the asymptotic behavior of the localization.

description: This document is a companion to the ecosystem status report (ESR) provided by the California Current Integrated Ecosystem Assessment team (CCIEA) to the Pacific Fishery Management Council (PFMC) in March of 2017. The CCIEA team provides such reports annually, as one component of the overall CCIEA goal of providing quantitative, integrative science tools, products, and synthesis in support of ecosystem-based management of marine resources in the California Current. The indicators summarized in this report represent our best understanding of environmental, ecological, and socioeconomic conditions in the California Current Ecosystem approximately through 2016, though some time series are slightly more up-to-date and others slightly less so depending on the time required for data processing. The indicators have been codeveloped by the CCIEA team and the PFMC through an iterative process since the inception of the CCIEA project in 2009.

description: The bond strength between a thermoformed fibre reinforced thermoplastic sheet and an injected polymer is the limiting factor for the structural integrity of overmoulded thermoplastic composites. In this contribution, a simulation based digital twin of the thermoforming process is presented. From numerical parametric studies a reduced order model based on Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) is developed. The combination with machine learning methods enables the real-time computation of arbitrary physical reliable temperature fields with sufficient accuracy to be used for design purposes and as inline quality gates.

Multiband mean-field theory of the $d+ig$ superconductivity scenario in Sr$_2$RuO$_4$

description: Many seemingly contradictory experimental findings concerning the superconducting state in Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ can be accounted for on the basis of a conjectured accidental degeneracy between two patterns of pairing that are unrelated to each other under the $(D_{4h})$ symmetry of the crystal: a $d_{x^2-y^2}$-wave $(B_{1g})$ and a $g_{xy(x^2-y^2)}$-wave $(A_{2g})$ superconducting state. In this paper, we propose a generic multi-band model in which the $g$-wave pairing involving the $xz$ and $yz$ orbitals arises from second-nearest-neighbor interactions. Even if time-reversal symmetry is broken in a $d+ig$ state, such a superconductor remains gapless with a Bogoliubov Fermi surface that approximates a (vertical) line node. The model gives rise to a strain-dependent splitting between the critical temperature $T_c$ and the time-reversal symmetry-breaking temperature $T_\text{trsb}$ that is qualitatively similar to some of the experimental observations in Sr$_2$RuO$_4$.

description: The health care industry is being transformed. Large firms are merging and acquiring other firms. Alliances and contractual relations between players in this market are shifting rapidly. Within the next few years, many markets are predicted to be dominated by a few large firms. Antitrust enforcement authorities like the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission, as well as courts and legislators at both the federal and state levels, are struggling with the implications of these changes for the nature and consequences of competition in health care markets. This paper summarizes the nature of the changes in the structure of the health care industry. This paper focus on the markets for health insurance, hospital services, and physician services. Potential implications of the restructuring of the health care industry for competition, efficiency, and public policy is discussed. As will become apparent, this area offers a number of intriguing questions for inquisitive researchers.

description: Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) vaccines do not induce sterilizing immunity, and vaccinated birds can become infected with field strains. Vaccine-induced immune selection pressure drives the evolution of antigenic drift variants that accumulate amino acid changes in the hypervariable region (HVR) of the VP2 capsid, which may lead to vaccine failures. However, there is a lack of information regarding how quickly mutations arise, and the relative contribution different residues make to immune escape. To model IBDV antigenic drift in vitro, we serially passaged a classical field strain belonging to genogroup A1 (F52/70) ten times, in triplicate, in the immortalized chicken B cell line, DT40, in the presence of sub-neutralizing concentrations of sera from birds inoculated with IBDV vaccine strain 2512, to generate escape mutants. This assay simulated a situation where classical strains may infect birds that have suboptimal vaccine-induced antibody responses. We then sequenced the HVR of the VP2 capsid at passage (P) 5 and 10 and compared the sequences to the parental virus (P0), and to the virus passaged in the presence of negative control chicken serum that lacked IBDV antibodies. Two escape mutants at P10 had the same mutations, D279Y and G281R, and a third had mutations S251I and D279N. Furthermore, at P5, the D279Y mutation was detectable, but the G281R mutation was not, indicating the mutations arose with different kinetics.

description: Localisation is one of the key elements in navigation. Especially due to the development in automated driving, precise and reliable localisation becomes essential. In this paper, we report on different cooperation approaches in visual localisation with two vehicles driving in a convoy formation. Each vehicle is equipped with a multi-sensor platform consisting of front-facing stereo cameras and a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver. In the first approach, the GNSS signals are used as excentric observations for the projection centres of the cameras in a bundle adjustment, whereas the second approach uses markers on the front vehicle as dynamic ground control points (GCPs). As the platforms are moving and data acquisition is not synchronised, we use time dependent platform poses. These time dependent poses are represented by trajectories consisting of multiple 6 Degree of Freedom (DoF) anchor points between which linear interpolation takes place. In order to investigate the developed approach experimentally, in particular the potential of dynamic GCPs, we captured data using two platforms driving on a public road at normal speed. As a baseline, we determine the localisation parameters of one platform using only data of that platform. We then compute a solution based on image and GNSS data from both platforms. In a third scenario, the front platform is used as a dynamic GCP which can be related to the trailing platform by markers observed in the images acquired by the latter. We show that both cooperative approaches lead to significant improvements in the precision of the poses of the anchor points after bundle adjustment compared to the baseline. The improvement achieved due to the inclusion of dynamic GCPs is somewhat smaller than the one due to relating the platforms by tie points. Finally, we show that for an individual vehicle, the use of dynamic GCPs can compensate for the lack of GNSS data.
