description: Background: Preterm labor (PTL)/preterm birth (PTB) impose significant burden on health-care systems. Women with uncomplicated pregnancies at risk of PTL/PTB have not been widely investigated, and published evidence on the costs of these women and their infants in Italy is absent. We aimed to describe women with uncomplicated pregnancies and associated costs for these women and their infants. Methods: Data on women aged 12–44 years with uncomplicated pregnancies who delivered between 1 September 2009 and 31 December 2014 with PTL diagnosis alone or PTL and PTB were included from four Italian databases. Costs were examined during pregnancy, delivery, and 3 years after delivery for mothers and infants, overall and by gestational age (GA). Results: A total of 3058 mothers linked to 3333 infants were included. Costs during pregnancy were €1777. Costs during delivery for PTL/PTB mothers and their infants ranged from €3174 (GA ≥37) to €21007 (GA <28). Combined maternal and infant costs appeared higher for births with lower GAs (<37) in the three-year follow-up. Conclusions: In Italy, PTL/PTB mothers with uncomplicated pregnancies with infants at lower GAs appeared to incur higher medical costs compared to mothers with infants at higher GAs in all three time periods, with particularly marked differences found when considering mother and infant combined costs.

description: We study spontaneous emission in an atomic ladder system, with both transitions coupled near-resonantly to the edge of a photonic band gap continuum. The problem is solved through a recently developed technique and leads to the formation of a ``two-photon+atom'' bound state with fractional population trapping in both upper states. In the long-time limit, the atom can be found excited in a superposition of the upper states and a ``direct'' two-photon process coexists with the stepwise one. The sensitivity of the effect to the particular form of the density of states is also explored.

description: The discovery of exoplanets has both focused and expanded the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. The consideration of Earth as an exoplanet, the knowledge of the orbital parameters of individual exoplanets, and our new understanding of the prevalence of exoplanets throughout the galaxy have all altered the search strategies of communication SETI efforts, by inspiring new "Schelling points" (i.e. optimal search strategies for beacons). Future efforts to characterize individual planets photometrically and spectroscopically, with imaging and via transit, will also allow for searches for a variety of technosignatures on their surfaces, in their atmospheres, and in orbit around them. In the near-term, searches for new planetary systems might even turn up free-floating megastructures.

description: The present paper describes a novel Raspberry Pi and Arduino UNO architecture used as a meteorological station. One of the advantages of the proposed architecture is the huge quantity of sensors developed for its usage; practically one can find them for any application, and weather sensing is not an exception. The principle followed is to configure Raspberry as a collector for measures obtained from Arduino, transmitting occurs via USB; meanwhile, Raspberry broadcasts them via a web page. For such activity is possible thanks to Raspbian, a Linux-based operating system. It has a lot of libraries and resources available, among them Apache Web Server, that gives the possibility to host a web-page. On it, the user can observe temperature, humidity, solar radiance, and wind speed and direction. Information on the web-page is refreshed each five minute; however, measurements arrive at Raspberry every ten seconds. This low refreshment rate was determined because weather variables normally do not abruptly change. As an additional feature, system stores all information on the log file, this gives the possibility for future analysis and processing.

Ecosystem observation, processes and dynamics

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Short‐lived pelagic blooms are commonly observed near the sea ice edge in spring. Though the combination of light availability and stratification is commonly assumed to facilitate the bloom, seeding by sea ice algae may be of great importance. A seasonal study of the pelagic and sympagic algae in Kobbefjord, West Greenland was conducted to elucidate the role of sea ice algae. During the sea ice season, there were indications that some sea ice algae (prasinophytes, the diatom Chaetoceros simplex) remained suspended and viable when released from the sea ice, a prerequisite for an influence on the pelagic. The pelagic bloom at the sea ice edge consisted mainly of small flagellates, which were already present in both sea ice and seawater. Several species which had not previously been observed neither in sea ice nor in seawater – Thalassiosira spp. and Chaetoceros spp. ‐ also contributed to the bloom. Statistical analysis showed that the sympagic and pelagic community were two separate entities, and indicated that the bloom community in Kobbefjord was influenced by pelagic species rather than being seeded by sea ice algae.

description: Roughly speaking, naked singularities are singularities that may be seen by timelike observers. The Cosmic Censorship conjecture forbids their existence by stating that a reasonable system of energy will not, under reasonable conditions, collapse into a naked singularity. There are however many (classical) counter-examples to this conjecture in the literature. We propose a defense of the conjecture through the quantum theory. We will show that the Hawking effect and the accompanying back reaction, when consistently applied to naked singularities in two dimensional models of dilaton gravity with matter and a cosmological constant, prevent their formation by causing them to explode or emit radiation catastrophically. This contrasts with black holes which radiate slowly. If this phenomenon is reproduced in the four dimensional world, the explosion of naked singularities should have observable consequences.

description: Repeated imaging observations have been made of NGC 4527 with the Hubble Space Telescope between April and June 1999, over an interval of 69 days. Images were obtained on 12 epochs in the F555W band and on five epochs in the F814W band. The galaxy hosted the type Ia supernova SN1991T, which showed relatively unusual behavior by having both an abnormal spectrum near light maximum, and a slower declining light curve than the proto-typical Branch normal SNe Ia. A total of 86 variables that are putative Cepheids have been found, with periods ranging from 7.4 days to over 70 days. From photometry with the DoPHOT program, the de-reddened distance modulus is determined to be (m-M)_0 = 30.67 +/- 0.12 (internal uncertainty) using a subset of the Cepheid data whose reddening and error parameters are secure. A parallel analysis of the Cepheids using photometry with ROMAFOT yields (m -M)_0 =30.82 +/- 0.11. The final adopted modulus is (m -M)_0 =30.74 +/- 0.12 +/- 0.12 (d=14.1 +/- 0.8 +/- 0.8 Mpc). The photometric data for SN1991T are used in combination with the Cepheid distance to NGC 4527 to obtain the absolute magnitude for this supernova of M_V^0(max) = -19.85 +/- 0.29. The relatively large uncertainty is a result of the range in estimates of the reddening to the supernova. Thus SN1991T is seen to be only moderately brighter (by ~ 0.3 mag) than the mean for spectroscopically normal supernovae, although magnitude differences of up to 0.6 mag cannot be ruled out.

description: The Atacama Large millimetre/submillimetre Array (ALMA) makes use of water vapour radiometers (WVR), which monitor the atmospheric water vapour line at 183 GHz along the line of sight above each antenna to correct for phase delays introduced by the wet component of the troposphere. The application of WVR derived phase corrections improve the image quality and facilitate successful observations in weather conditions that were classically marginal or poor. We present work to indicate that a scaling factor applied to the WVR solutions can act to further improve the phase stability and image quality of ALMA data. We find reduced phase noise statistics for 62 out of 75 datasets from the long-baseline science verification campaign after a WVR scaling factor is applied. The improvement of phase noise translates to an expected coherence improvement in 39 datasets. When imaging the bandpass source, we find 33 of the 39 datasets show an improvement in the signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) between a few to ~30 percent. There are 23 datasets where the S/N of the science image is improved: 6 by <1%, 11 between 1 and 5%, and 6 above 5%. The higher frequencies studied (band 6 and band 7) are those most improved, specifically datasets with low precipitable water vapour (PWV), <1mm, where the dominance of the wet component is reduced. Although these improvements are not profound, phase stability improvements via the WVR scaling factor come into play for the higher frequency (>450 GHz) and long-baseline (>5km) observations. These inherently have poorer phase stability and are taken in low PWV (<1mm) conditions for which we find the scaling to be most effective. A promising explanation for the scaling factor is the mixing of dry and wet air components, although other origins are discussed. We have produced a python code to allow ALMA users to undertake WVR scaling tests and make improvements to their data.

Pressures, impacts, conservation, and management

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Since the establishment of the Quota Management System in 1986, the focus of the majority of fisheries science and management in New Zealand has been setting total allowable catches for individual fishstocks (administrative units relating to a species in a particular management area), and the allocation of these quotas to commercial rights holders while making allowances for recreational and customary harvest. The characterisation of fisheries has been primarily stockcentric: describing the temporal and spatial patents of fishing effort that target the species of interest or take it as bycatch, as a part of the stock assessment process. However, many current fisheries management problems require a different focus. Management of protected species bycatch, for example, typically requires an understanding of the structure and dynamics of fisheries from the perspective of a particular fishing method. Although the current New Zealand fisheries data system focuses primarily on the collection of data required for the assessment of stocks and administration of quotas, it provides a rich source of information relevant to other fisheries management issues. This paper investigates the use of statistical clustering techniques to describe the structure of the New Zealand set gillnet fisheries, and their dynamics from 1990 to 2006.

description: We consider the distortion in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) due to galactic winds at high redshift. Winds outflowing from galaxies have been hypothesized to be possible sources of metals in the intergalactic medium, which is known to have been enriched to $10^{-2.5}$ Z$_{\odot}$ at $z \sim 3$. We model these winds as functions of mass of the parent galaxy and redshift, assuming they activate at a common initial redshift, $z_{in}$, and calculate the mean $y$ distortion and the angular power spectrum of the distortion in the CMB. We find that the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect due to the winds to be consistent with previous estimates. The distortion due to the kinetic SZ (kSZ) effect is, however, found to be more important than the thermal SZ (tSZ) effect. We find that the distortion due to galactic winds is an important contribution to the power spectrum of distortion at very small angular scales $(l \sim 10^4)$. We also find that the power spectrum due to clustering dominates the Poisson power spectrum for $l \le 4\hbox{--}5 \times 10^5$. We show explicitly how the combined power spectrum from wind dominates over that of clusters at 217 GHz, relevant for PLANCK. We also show how these constraints change when the efficiency of the winds is varied.

description: We calculate the leading order interactions of massless D-brane excitations. Their 4-point functions are found to be identical to those found in type I theory. The amplitude for two massless D-brane fluctuations to produce a massless closed string is found to possess interesting new structure. As a function of its single kinematic invariant, it displays an infinite sequence of alternating zeros and poles. At high transverse momenta, this amplitude decays exponentially, indicating a growing effective thickness of the D-brane. This amplitude is the leading process by which non-extremal D-branes produce Hawking radiation.

description: Excited states and excitation energies of weakly bound systems, e.g. atomic few-body systems and clusters, are difficult to study experimentally. For this purpose we propose a new and very general atom-optical method which is based on inelastic diffraction from transmission gratings. The technique is applicable to the recently found helium trimer molecule ^4He_3, allowing for the first time an investigation of the possible existence of an excited trimer state and determination of its excitation energy. This would be of fundamental importance for the famous Efimov effect.

description: We prove several results concerning the relative position of points in the postsingular set $P(f)$ of a meromorphic map $f$ and the boundary of a Baker domain or the successive iterates of a wandering component. For Baker domains we answer a question of Mihaljević-Brandt and Rempe-Gillen. For wandering domains we show that if the iterates $U_n$ of such a domain have uniformly bounded diameter, then there exists a sequence of postsingular values $p_n$ such that ${\rm dist}(p_n,\partial U_n)\to 0$ as $n\to \infty$. We also prove that if $U_n \cap P(f)=\emptyset$ and the postsingular set of $f$ lies at a positive distance from the Julia set (in $\mathbb C$) then any sequence of iterates of wandering domains must contain arbitrarily large disks. This allows to exclude the existence of wandering domains for some meromorphic maps with infinitely many poles and unbounded set of singular values.

description: In this work we study the boson stars and boson shells in a theory involving massive complex scalar fields coupled to the U(1) gauge field and gravity in a conical potential in the presence of a cosmological constant $Λ$ which we treat as a free parameter taking positive and negative values and thereby allowing us to study the theory in the de Sitter and Anti de Sitter spaces respectively. Boson stars are found to come in two types, having either ball-like or shell-like charge density. We have studied the properties of these solutions and have also determined their domains of existence for some specific values of the parameters of the theory. Similar solutions have also been obtained by Kleihaus, Kunz, Laemmerzahl and List in a theory involving massless complex scalar fields coupled to the U(1) gauge field and gravity in a conical potential in the absence of a cosmological constant $Λ$.

description: Complex oxide systems have attracted considerable attention because of their fascinating properties, including the magnetic ordering at the conducting interface between two band insulators, such as LaAlO3 (LAO) and SrTiO3 (STO). However, the manipulation of the spin degree of freedom at the LAO/STO heterointerface has remained elusive. Here, we have fabricated hybrid magnetic tunnel junctions consisting of Co and LAO/STO ferromagnets with the insertion of a Ti layer in between, which clearly exhibit magnetic switching and the tunnelling magnetoresistance (TMR) effect below 10 K. The magnitude and the of the TMR are strongly dependent on the direction of the rotational magnetic field parallel to the LAO/STO plane, which is attributed to a strong Rashba-type spin orbit coupling in the LAO/STO heterostructure. Our study provides a further support for the existence of the macroscopic ferromagnetism at LAO/STO heterointerfaces and opens a novel route to realize interfacial spintronics devices.

description: Witnet is a decentralized oracle network (DON) that connects smart contracts to the outer world. Generally speaking, it allows any piece of software to retrieve the contents published at any web address at a certain point in time, with complete and verifiable proof of its integrity and without blindly trusting any third party. Witnet runs on a blockchain with a native protocol token (called Wit), which miners-called witnesses-earn by retrieving, attesting and delivering web contents for clients. On the other hand, clients spend Wit to pay witnesses for their Retrieve-Attest-Deliver (RAD) work. Witnesses also compete to mine blocks with considerable rewards, but Witnet mining power is proportional to their previous performance in terms of honesty and trustworthiness-this is, their reputation as witnesses. This creates a powerful incentive for witnesses to do their work honestly, protect their reputation and not to deceive the network. The Witnet protocol is designed to assign the RAD tasks to witnesses in a way that mitigates most attack vectors to the greatest extent. At the same time, it includes a novel 'sharding' feature that (1) guarantees the efficiency and scalability of the network, (2) keeps the price of RAD tasks within reasonable bounds and (3) gives clients the freedom to adjust certainty and price by letting them choose how many witnesses will work on their RAD tasks. When coupled with a Decentralized Storage Network (DSN), Witnet also gives us the possibility to build the Digital Knowledge Ark: a decentralized, immutable, censorship-resistant and eternal archive of humanity's most relevant digital data. A truth vault aimed to ensure that knowledge will remain democratic and verifiable forever and to prevent history from being written by the victors.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Killer whales (Orcinus orca) occur throughout the northwest Atlantic. A sightings database and photographic catalogue, created mostly from opportunistic sources, is used to examine the occurrence of killer whales in Atlantic Canada. A majority of the sightings are from the Newfoundland and Labrador Region despite comparable observer coverage in adjacent areas such as the Gulf of St. Lawrence and Scotian Shelf, which suggests greater abundance in and habitat preference for Newfoundland and Labrador waters. Killer whales occur in all months of the year and in both near- and offshore regions, although particular sighting patterns may represent local observer effort and awareness. The distribution, movement, and residency patterns of killer whales may be closely linked to that of their prey; they have been observed harassing, attacking, and eating marine mammals, including minke whales (Balaenoptera acuterostrata), dolphins, and seals, and potentially eating fish. Some killer whales appear to remain year round in the Newfoundland and Labrador area and have been sighted during the spring within pack ice, potentially in association with breeding harp seals (Phoca groenlandica). Based on photographic records, individual killer whales in this area have been shown to move hundreds of kilometers within a year. Conversely, although there is no spatial or temporal evidence of seasonal migration, killer whales may be reliably seen in certain areas during particular times of the year, suggesting that long-term site fidelity patterns may exist within this population

description: We report herein the pressure dependent thermal contact resistance (Rc) between Wollaston wire thermal probe and samples which is evaluated within the framework of an analytical model. This work presents heat transfer between the Wollaston wire thermal probe and samples at nanoscale for different air pressure ranging from 1 Pa to 10e5 Pa. We make use of a scanning thermal microscopy (SThM) for the thermal analysis of two samples, fused silica (SiO2) and Titanium (Ti), with different thermal conductivities. The thermal probe's output voltage difference (deltaV) between out-off contact output voltage (Voc) and in-contact output voltage (Vic) was recorded. The result shows that the heat transfer increases with the increasing air pressure and it is found higher for higher thermal conductive material. We also propose an analytical model based on the normalized output voltage difference to extract the probe-sample thermal contact resistance. The obtained Rc values in the range of ~1.8e7 K/W to ~14.3e7 K/W validate the presented analytical model. Further analysis reveals that the thermal contact resistance between the probe and sample decreases with increasing air pressure. Such behavior is interpreted by the contribution of heat transfer through confined air on thermal contact resistance. In addition, the signature of Rc is also evidenced in the context of thermal mismatch behavior which is studied by using acoustic mismatch model (AMM) and diffuse mismatch model (DMM).

description: Knights Landing (KNL) is the code name for the second-generation Intel Xeon Phi product family. KNL has generated significant interest in the data analysis and machine learning communities because its new many-core architecture targets both of these workloads. The KNL many-core vector processor design enables it to exploit much higher levels of parallelism. At the Lincoln Laboratory Supercomputing Center (LLSC), the majority of users are running data analysis applications such as MATLAB and Octave. More recently, machine learning applications, such as the UC Berkeley Caffe deep learning framework, have become increasingly important to LLSC users. Thus, the performance of these applications on KNL systems is of high interest to LLSC users and the broader data analysis and machine learning communities. Our data analysis benchmarks of these application on the Intel KNL processor indicate that single-core double-precision generalized matrix multiply (DGEMM) performance on KNL systems has improved by ~3.5x compared to prior Intel Xeon technologies. Our data analysis applications also achieved ~60% of the theoretical peak performance. Also a performance comparison of a machine learning application, Caffe, between the two different Intel CPUs, Xeon E5 v3 and Xeon Phi 7210, demonstrated a 2.7x improvement on a KNL node.

description: From our sample of spotted late-type stars showing surface differential rotation we find that the relationship between the rotation period and the surface shear coefficient $α=ΔΩ/Ω_{\rm eq}$ is significantly different for single stars compared to members in close binaries. Single stars follow a general trend that $α$ increases with the rotation period. However, differential rotation of stars in close binary systems shows much weaker dependence on the rotation, if any, suggesting that in such systems tidal forces operate as a controlling mechanism of differential rotation.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.By-catch of cold-water corals from a Trawl Experimental Survey developed during 2004 in three NAFO Seamounts was examined (Corner Rise and New England Seamount Complex). Three hauls were carried out over two peaks located in New England Seamount Complex (Divs. 6EF). In this area, catches of commercial resources were negligible and by-catch of corals was recorded (degraded pieces of dead Enallopsammia sp and Keratoisis sp and few live corals like Solenosmilia variabilis, Metallogorgia melanotrichos, Paragorgia johnsoni, etc.), showing some interaction between fishing and vulnerable habitats and that trawl fishing in the area is unfeasible. Ninety-two hauls were carried out over one peak located in Corner Rise Seamount Complex (Div. 6G), with big catches of alfonsino (Beryx splendens), but only six hauls showing coral records (Enallopsamia rostrata, Solenosmilia variabilis, Madrepora oculata, Acanella eburnea and Placogorgia terceira) and in less quantities in comparison with Divs. 6EF. The low by-catch of corals in the Div. 6G peak could be related with their less rough bottom feature and with the previous alteration of sessile epifauna due to intense fishing activity developed during the last decades of XX Century. The results of the Experimental Survey indicate that the impact of trawling on seamounts could be important and that the closed area agreed in 2007 to protect the bottom habitats of the seamounts within NAFO Regulatory Area (Divs. 6EFG) should be maintained and improved
