description: We give results for the Upsilon spectrum from lattice QCD using an improved version of the NRQCD action for b quarks which includes radiative corrections to kinetic terms at O(v^4) in the velocity expansion. We also include for the first time the effect of up, down, strange and charm quarks in the sea using 'second generation' gluon field configurations from the MILC collaboration. Using the Υ 2S - 1S splitting to determine the lattice spacing, we are able to obtain the 1P - 1S splitting to 1.4% and the 3S - 1S splitting to 2.4%. Our improved result for M (Upsilon) - M (eta_b) is 70(9) MeV and we predict M(Upsilon) - M(eta_b') = 35(3) MeV. We also calculate pi, K and eta_s correlators using the Highly Improved Staggered Quark action and perform a chiral and continuum extrapolation to give values for M(eta_s) (0.6893(12) GeV) and f_{eta_s} (0.1819(5) GeV) that allow us to tune the strange quark mass as well as providing an independent and consistent determination of the lattice spacing. Combining the NRQCD and HISQ analyses gives mb/ms = 54.7(2.5) and a value for the heavy quark potential parameter of r_1 = 0.3209(26) fm.

description: The scientific landscape is continually shifting towards increasing amounts of data, demanding agreater investment of (time-) resources into the management of these data. As a result, data literacyis a key element of research, which is becoming more and more important for researchers from alldomains. Additionally, interdisciplinary,multidisciplinary, and collaborative approaches arebecoming more essential now than ever before. Hence, we believe the concept and activities of theRhine-Ruhr Center for Scientific Data Literacy to be highly relevant to the topic and audience ofthis year’s “E-Science Tage” conference.The Rhine-Ruhr Center for Scientific Data Literacy is an initiative funded by the German Federalministry for Education and Research (BMBF) and the European Union. We are a consortium of nineinstitutions in the Rhine-Ruhr area including universities, research institutions, and universities ofapplied science. The overarching goal of the DKZ.2R is to reduce data-related hurdles in researchand support holistic, methodological data literacy in the areas of research data management,artificial intelligence,machine learning, high performance computing, and data science. TheDKZ.2R has a strong interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary focus, and is a regional center focusedprimarily, but not exclusively on partners and participants in the Rhine-Ruhr area.Our main objective is to promote a holistic methodological data literacy and offer support forresearchers to break through data related hurdles in order to find cross-domain solutions andsynergies. The regional focus of the DKZ.2R allows us to offer in-depth support, making resourcesmore generally available and facilitating connections between researchers and research groupsacross institutions and domains. With a more flexible approach such as curating relevant andexisting trainings and seminars, identifying gaps in those resources, and creating new offers in theform of (online) courses and seminars, we aim at supporting data literacy for researchers from allover Germany while ensuring high quality in all of our offerings. This combination of in-depth andmore general long- and short-term solutions allows us to promote data literacy, research datamanagement, and machine learning skills (depending on the researcher’s needs) while constantlyadapting to the changing challenges in the scientific landscape.

description: The dataset focuses on Wikipedia users and contains information about demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of the respondents and their activity on Wikipedia. The data was collected using a questionnaire available online between June and July 2023. The link to the questionnaire was distributed via a banner published in 8 languages on the Wikipedia page. Filling out the questionnaire was voluntary and not incentivised in any way. The survey includes 200 questions about: what people were doing on Wikipedia before clicking the link to the questionnaire; how they use Wikipedia as readers (``professional'' and ``personal'' uses); their opinion on the quality, the thematic coverage, the importance of the encyclopaedia; the making of Wikipedia (how they think it is made, if they have ever contributed and how); their social, sport, artistic and cultural activities, both online and offline; their socio-economic characteristics including political beliefs, and trust propensities. More than 200 000 people opened the questionnaire, 100 332 started to answer, and constitute our dataset, and 10 576 finished it. Among other themes identified by future researchers, the dataset can be useful for advancing the research regarding the features of readers vs contributors of online commons, the relationship between trust, information, sources, and the use made of this information.
Effects of the U-boson on the inner edge of neutron star crusts

description: We explore effects of the light vector $U$-boson, which is weakly coupled to nucleons, on the transition density $ρ_{t}$ and pressure $P_{t}$ at the inner edge separating the liquid core from the solid crust of neutron stars. Three methods, i.e., the thermodynamical approach, the curvature matrix approach and the Vlasov equation approach are used to determine the transition density $ρ_{t}$ with the Skyrme effective nucleon-nucleon interactions. We find that the $ρ_{t}$ and $P_{t}$ depend on not only the ratio of coupling strength to mass squared of the $U$-boson $g^{2}/μ^{2}$ but also its mass $μ$ due to the finite range interaction from the $U$-boson exchange. In particular, our results indicate that the $ρ_{t}$ and $P_{t}$ are sensitive to both $g^{2}/μ^{2}$ and $μ$ if the $U$-boson mass $μ$ is larger than about 2 MeV. Furthermore, we show that both $g^{2}/μ^{2}$ and $μ$ can have significant influence on the mass-radius relation and the crustal fraction of total moment of inertia of neutron stars. In addition, we study the exchange term contribution of the $U$-boson based on the density matrix expansion method, and demonstrate that the exchange term effects on the nuclear matter equation of state as well as the $ρ_{t}$ and $P_{t}$ are generally negligible.

description: Virtual reality allows creating highly immersive visual and auditory experiences, making users feel physically present in the environment. This makes it an ideal platform to simulate dangerous scenarios, including fire evacuation, and study human behaviour without exposing users to harmful elements. However, human perception of the surroundings is based on the integration of multiple sensory cues (visual, auditory, tactile, or/and olfactory) present in the environment. When some of the sensory stimuli are missing in the virtual experience, it can break the illusion of being there in the environment and could lead to actions that deviate from normal behaviour. In this work, we added an olfactory cue in a well-documented historic hotel fire scenario that was recreated in VR, and examined the effects of the olfactory cue on human behaviour. We conducted a between subject study on 40 naive participants. Our results show that the addition of the olfactory cue could increase behavioural realism. We found that 80% of the studied actions for the VR with olfactory cue condition matched the ones performed by the survivors. In comparison, only 40% of the participants' actions for VR only condition were similar to the survivors.

description: Single crystals of Ruddlesden-Popper nickelates La$_4$Ni$_3$O$_{10}$ were grown by means of the floating-zone technique at oxygen pressure of 20~bar. Our results reveal the effects of the annealing process under pressure on the crystal structure. We present the requirements for crystal growth and show how a reported ferromagnetic impurity phase can be avoided. The different growth and post-annealing processes result in two distinct phases $P2_1/a$ and {\it Bmab} in which the metal-to-metal transitions occur at 152~K and 136~K, respectively.

Flowering Rhynchopyle loi most closely resembles R. pileata (S.Y.Wong & P.C.Boyce) S.Y.Wong & P.C.Boyce by the deep magenta-purple strongly rostrate spathe limb. However, R. loi is readily differentiated by the spathe basally with a prominent ventral mentum, by the larger, centrally impressed interstice staminodes held in a zone wider than the remainder of the spadix, the stamens irregularly arranged (not carried in two rows), and the proportion- ately longer staminate flower zone. The leaves of R. loi are only ca. half as long as those of R. pileata, and much narrower; the entire plant is seldom exceeding 15 cm (Boyce and Wong 2013b). Distribution and ecology. Endemic to Sabah. Growing on bare or moss-covered basalt waterfall rocks under perhumid lowland forest; between 200 and 300 m elevation. Typically inhabits the steep banks of muddy, meandering lowland streams and, less frequently, the floor of lowlying forest where it may be inundated in wet periods.

description: In this paper we establish a Fréchet law for maximal cuspidal windings of the geodesic flow on a Riemannian surface associated with an arbitrary finitely generated, essentially free Fuchsian group with parabolic elements. This result extends previous work by Galambos and Dolgopyat and is obtained by applying Extreme Value Theory. Subsequently, we show that this law gives rise to an Erdös-Philipp law and to various generalised Khintchine-type results for maximal cuspidal windings. These results strengthen previous results by Sullivan, Stratmann and Velani for Kleinian groups, and extend earlier work by Philipp on continued fractions, which was inspired by a conjecture of Erdös.

description: The nuclear charge radius of $^{12}$Be was precisely determined using the technique of collinear laser spectroscopy on the $2s_{1/2}\rightarrow 2p_{1/2, 3/2}$ transition in the Be$^{+}$ ion. The mean square charge radius increases from $^{10}$Be to $^{12}$Be by $δ^{10,12} = 0.69(5) \fm^{2}$ compared to $δ^{10,11} = 0.49(5) \fm^{2}$ for the one-neutron halo isotope $^{11}$Be. Calculations in the fermionic molecular dynamics approach show a strong sensitivity of the charge radius to the structure of $^{12}$Be. The experimental charge radius is consistent with a breakdown of the N=8 shell closure.

description: Hyperexcitability has been suggested to contribute to motoneuron degeneration in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). If this is so, and given that the physiological type of a motor unit determines the relative susceptibility of its motoneuron in ALS, then one would expect the most vulnerable motoneurons to display the strongest hyperexcitability prior to their degeneration, whereas the less vulnerable should display a moderate hyperexcitability, if any. We tested this hypothesis in vivo in two unrelated ALS mouse models by correlating the electrical properties of motoneurons with their physiological types, identified based on their motor unit contractile properties. We found that, far from being hyperexcitable, the most vulnerable motoneurons become unable to fire repetitively despite the fact that their neuromuscular junctions were still functional. Disease markers confirm that this loss of function is an early sign of degeneration. Our results indicate that intrinsic hyperexcitability is unlikely to be the cause of motoneuron degeneration.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.A mismatch between biological population structure of a species and spatial management units of the fishery can present problems, because the scale of management action should match the scale of biological processes. We hypothesized that recognition of fine-scale population structuring of Atlantic cod in US waters will redefine our perceptions of the productivity, stability, and sustainable yield of the regional population. The goal of our study was to use simulation modelling as a tool to examine the ecological and fisheries consequences of a mismatch between management unit and biological population structure, as defined by genetic analysis, of Atlantic cod. Two agestructured simulation models were compared to test our hypothesis: (i) the management unit model, wherein fish were grouped based on the current spatially defined US management areas (Gulf of Maine and Georges Bank), and (ii) the biological structure model, which consisted of three genetically defined population components (northern spring-spawning, southern winter/springspawning, and Georges Bank spring-spawning groups), with some mixing of early life stages. Productivity and yield of the biological structure model was lower than that of the management unit model because of consideration of the unique vital rates and dynamics of, and connectivity between, spawning groups. Stability of the system, however, was enhanced through these same attributes. Consideration of biological structure of cod changed our perception of the magnitude and distribution of productivity in the region, suggesting that expectations of productivity of Georges Bank cod should be reconsidered.

description: We study the so-called damped Navier-Stokes equations in the whole 2D space. The global well-posedness, dissipativity and further regularity of weak solutions of this problem in the uniformly-local spaces are verified based on the further development of the weighted energy theory for the Navier-Stokes type problems. Note that any divergent free vector field $u_0\in L^\infty(\mathbb R^2)$ is allowed and no assumptions on the spatial decay of solutions as $|x|\to\infty$ are posed. In addition, applying the developed theory to the case of the classical Navier-Stokes problem in R2, we show that the properly defined weak solution can grow at most polynomially (as a quintic polynomial) as time goes to infinity.

description: Animal behavior has been studied for centuries, but few efficient methods are available to automatically identify and classify it. Quantitative behavioral studies have been hindered by the subjective and imprecise nature of human observation, and the slow speed of annotating behavioral data. Here, we developed an automatic behavior analysis pipeline for the cnidarian Hydra vulgaris using machine learning. We imaged freely behaving Hydra, extracted motion and shape features from the videos, and constructed a dictionary of visual features to classify pre-defined behaviors. We also identified unannotated behaviors with unsupervised methods. Using this analysis pipeline, we quantified 6 basic behaviors and found surprisingly similar behavior statistics across animals within the same species, regardless of experimental conditions. Our analysis indicates that the fundamental behavioral repertoire of Hydra is stable. This robustness could reflect a homeostatic neural control of "housekeeping" behaviors which could have been already present in the earliest nervous systems.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The Cap Roux Marine Reserve was created in 2003. It is situated close to the coastline of the department of Var, and covers an area of around 480 ha. All types of fishing are prohibited inside the MPA: professional or recreational fishing, spearfishing, and collecting. A monitoring of the leisure fishing was conducted inside and around the MPA from April 2009 to October 2009 in the “PAMPA” project. Based on initial results, a decreasing gradient of the fishing pressure was observed from the north to the south of the MPA. The easy access to the northern part of the MPA could explain the higher pressure in this area. In contrast, the southern part is more isolated and exposed to wind. Despite the mandated protection, several fishers were still observed inside the MPA, mainly as a consequence of lack of information and insufficient markers around the MPA. In these cases, the sizes of the fish caught were greater than those that were caught outside the MPA. Recreational fishing constitutes the most important pressure on fish assemblages in the Cap Roux MPA although its effect is not as extensive here as in other Mediterranean MPAs. For example, compared with the MPA of Cerbère-Banyuls (northeast French Mediterranean), the Cap Roux MPA appears to be less affected by fishing activities. It is thus important to include this activity in the future management plan of the Cap Roux MPA. Regular monitoring of recreational fishing is advised.

Viene proposto un modello in cui la solidità, la sensazione del calore e persino il tempo emergano dalla coerenza quantistica piuttosto che da proprietà fisiche assolute.

description: We discuss the role of running coupling on the thermal photon yield from quark gluon plasma. It is shown that the photon production rate from the partonic phase is considerably enhanced when running coupling is considered with respect to a fixed value. However, we show by explicit evaluation that although this difference survives the space-time evolution the experimental data cannot distinguish between the two once the hard contribution, which is an essential component of photon production mechanism, is added.

The approach harnesses a recent development called Multifractal Temporally Weighted Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (MF-TWDFA), which exploits the intuition that points closer in time are more likely to be related than distant points. In both data sets we extract multiple crossover times, as characterized by generalized Hurst exponents, ranging from synoptic to decadal. The method goes beyond treatments that assume a single decay scale process, such as a first-order autoregression, which cannot be justifiably fit to these observations. Importantly, the strength of the seasonal cycle "masks" long term correlations on time scales beyond seasonal. When removing the seasonal cycle from the original record, the ice extent data exhibits white noise behavior from seasonal to bi-seasonal time scales, whereas the clear fingerprints of the short (weather) and long ($\sim$ 7 and 9 year) time scales remain, the latter associated with the recent decay in the ice cover. Therefore, long term persistence is reentrant beyond the seasonal scale and it is not possible to distinguish whether a given ice extent minimum/maximum will be followed by a minimum/maximum that is larger or smaller in magnitude.

Identification. Schismatoglottis ferruginea is similar to Schismatoglottis barbata Engl. (Sarawak) in the coarsely hairy petiole and the leaf shape tending to be widest distal to midway along the midrib. Both species differs in the not tufted habit, larger size, the distinctly cordate leaf blade base, the hairy and relatively long peduncle, the slender hairy spathe constricted near the base and, presumably from the shape of the spathe, the more or narrowly tapering spadix (Hay and Yuzammi 2000). Distribution and ecology. Endemic to Sabah. Lithophytic in sandstone crevices by riverbanks or in secondary forest near streams at low elevation. On boulders and terrestrial on rather dry slopes in mixed lowland forest at low elevations.

Of instrumental value : flutist-composer collaboration in the creation of new music
Creators: name: McGregor, Mark Takeshi
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Following World War II, the flute would become a major vehicle for experimental composers, resulting in a repertoire that made extensive use of techniques outside the instrument’s traditional performance lexicon. In order for composers to write effectively and idiomatically for the flute, collaboration with performers was often essential. This document discusses the contributions of three flutists to the creation of new music in the 20th and 21st centuries. Chapter One focuses on the Italian flutist Severino Gazzelloni, a major figure in the postwar experimental music scene, and his contributions to the creation of two works: Sequenza I per flauto solo by Luciano Berio and Mei for solo flute by Kazuo Fukushima. Chapter Two discusses the work of the Canadian flutist Robert Aitken and his role in the genesis of Ryoanji for flute by John Cage, Idyll for the Misbegotten for flute and three percussion by George Crumb, and Scrivo in Vento for solo flute by Elliot Carter. Chapter Three addresses my own collaborations with three Canadian composers, Jeffrey Ryan, James Beckwith Maxwell, and Jocelyn Morlock, and how my interactions compared to those of my predecessors. This document also sheds light on the recent phenomenon of how many flutists have incorporated administrative roles into their careers to ensure that the works they have commissioned are presented to the highest professional standards.

description: Cauchy's sum theorem of 1821 has been the subject of rival interpretations ever since Robinson proposed a novel reading in the 1960s. Some claim that Cauchy modified the hypothesis of his theorem in 1853 by introducing uniform convergence, whose traditional formulation requires a pair of independent variables. Meanwhile, Cauchy's hypothesis is formulated in terms of a single variable x, rather than a pair of variables, and requires the error term r_n = r_n(x) to go to zero at all values of x, including the infinitesimal value generated by 1/n, explicitly specified by Cauchy. If one wishes to understand Cauchy's modification/clarification of the hypothesis of the sum theorem in 1853, one has to jettison the automatic translation-to-limits.

description: All mutually unbiased bases in dimension six consisting of product states only are constructed. Several continuous families of pairs and two triples of mutually unbiased product bases are found to exist but no quadruple. The exhaustive classification leads to a proof that a complete set of seven mutually unbiased bases, if it exists, cannot contain a triple of mutually unbiased product bases.

description: Following the celebrated quantum algorithm for solving linear equations (so-called HHL algorithm), Childs, Kothari and Somma [SIAM Journal on Computing, {\bf 46}: 1920, (2017)] provided an approach to solve a linear system of equations with exponentially improved dependence on precision. In this note, we aim to complement such a result for applying a matrix to some quantum state, based upon their Chebyshev polynomial approach. A few examples that motivate this application are included and we further discuss an application of this improved matrix application algorithm explicitly with an efficient quantum procedure.

description: Spacetime emergence refers to the notion that classical spacetime "emerges" as an approximate macroscopic entity from a non-spatio-temporal structure present in a more complete theory of interacting fundamental constituents. In this article, we propose a novel mechanism involving the "soldering" of internal and external spaces for the emergence of spacetime and the twin transmutation of general covariance. In the context of string theory, this mechanism points to a critical four dimensional spacetime background.

description: We define benchmark models for SUSY searches at the LHC, including the CMSSM, NUHM, mGMSB, mAMSB, MM-AMSB and p19MSSM, as well as models with R-parity violation and the NMSSM. Within the parameter spaces of these models, we propose benchmark subspaces, including planes, lines and points along them. The planes may be useful for presenting results of the experimental searches in different SUSY scenarios, while the specific benchmark points may serve for more detailed detector performance tests and comparisons. We also describe algorithms for defining suitable benchmark points along the proposed lines in the parameter spaces, and we define a few benchmark points motivated by recent fits to existing experimental data.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The Gerrico Project, managed jointly by Ifremer and the University of Nantes, is focused on the Bay of Bourgneuf. Located in the south of the Loire estuary on the French Atlantic coast, this bay is largely used by oyster farming (13 000 t yearly) and characterized by many interesting habitats, such as seagrass beds and honeycomb worms. In recent years the Bay of Bourgneuf has been faced with several problems affecting oyster growth, survival, and quality, the maintenance of water quality, biodiversity, and the sustainability of activities. The original feature of the Gerrico Project is the development of methods capable of taking into account the entire area from the watershed down to the marshes and the coastal sea, using a chain of coupled models to integrate the different activities by combining physical modelling (sedimentology, hydrodynamics), biological modelling (growth of the algal biomass, oyster growth), and economic modelling (management of oysterrearing parcs on the scale of the production basin or shellfish-farming business). The common point driving this approach is water quality, on which depends the optimization of coastal activities. Some scenarios at different spatial and temporal scales (e.g. increasing nutrients; oyster growth variability between farming sites, impact of trophic competitors (slipper limpets, wild oysters), carrying capacity assessment) have been implemented in order to simulate the biological and socio-economic consequences of different types of management. The objective is to establish a dynamic tool that will provide a firm basis for integrated management of the coastal area.

description: Context: Ageing populations across the world make the provision of long-term care a global challenge. A growing number of people in England are faced with paying for later life social care costs, but do little to plan for these costs in advance. Recent legislation in the form of the Care Act 2014 gave local authorities new responsibilities to provide information on how people can access independent financial advice on matters relating to care needs. Objectives: This scoping review aimed to identify existing evidence about people’s engagement with financial advice in relation to paying for later life care in England. Methods: Electronic and manual searching identified seventeen papers reporting empirical evidence on the topic, published between 2002 and 2017. Findings: We found evidence of low numbers accessing regulated financial advice. Barriers included limited consumer awareness, preferences for other sources of advice such as friends an d family, and poor signposting and referrals by local authorities. Most papers indicated that financial advice would be useful in helping people to plan for care costs. Robust research evidence on this topic is limited, with particular gaps in evidence about stakeholders’ experiences of the barriers to, and usefulness of, financial advice about paying for long-term care in later life. Limitations: The paper does not include a formal quality assessment of the included research papers. Our interpretation of study findings was hindered by lack of methodological transparency in some papers and lack of studies focusing specifically on the topic of financial planning for long-term care. Implications: An improved evidence base could assist financial advisers specialising in this area and local authorities that are now obliged to signpost people to such advice. With better evidence they would be better placed to explain to members of the public the financial and non-financial implications of obtaining financial advice about care costs. It might also enable those organisations to overcome barriers and facilitate access to appropriate advice.
