Equilibria of the Rescorla-Wagner Model
Creators: name: Danks, David
Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University

Subjects: subject: Philosophy
subject: FOS: Philosophy, ethics and religion

description: The Rescorla–Wagner model has been a leading theory of animal causal induction for nearly 30 years, and human causal induction for the past 15 years. Recent theories (especially Psychol. Rev. 104 (1997) 367) have provided alternative explanations of how people draw causal conclusions from covariational data. However, theoretical attempts to compare the Rescorla–Wagner model with more recent models have been hampered by the fact that the Rescorla–Wagner model is an algorithmic theory, while the more recent theories are all computational. This paper provides a detailed derivation of the long-run behavior of the Rescorla– Wagner model under a wide range of parameters and experimental setups, so that the model can be compared with computational theories. It also shows that the model agrees with competing theories on a wider range of cases than had previously been thought. The paper concludes by showing how recently suggested modifications of the Rescorla–Wagner model impact the long-run behavior of the model.

description: The Euler equations of ideal gas dynamics posess a remarkable nonlinear involutional symmetry which allows one to factor out an arbitrary uniform expansion or contraction of the system. The nature of this symmetry (called by cosmologists the transformation to supercomoving variables) is discussed and its origin clarified. It is pointed out that this symmetry allows one to map an explosion problem to a dual implosion problem and vice versa. The application to laboratory simulations of supernova remnants is considered; in principle this duality allows the complete three-dimensional evolution of highly structured explosion ejecta to be modelled using a static target in an implosion facility.

description: We present a new spectral fitting code, Firefly, for deriving the stellar population properties of stellar systems. Firefly is a chi-squared minimisation fitting code that fits combinations of single-burst stellar population models to spectroscopic data, following an iterative best-fitting process controlled by the Bayesian Information Criterion. No priors are applied, rather all solutions within a statistical cut are retained with their weight. Moreover, no additive or multiplicative polynomia are employed to adjust the spectral shape. This fitting freedom is envisaged in order to map out the effect of intrinsic spectral energy distribution (SED) degeneracies, such as age, metallicity, dust reddening on galaxy properties, and to quantify the effect of varying input model components on such properties. Dust attenuation is included using a new procedure, which was tested on Integral Field Spectroscopic (IFS) data in a previous paper. The fitting method is extensively tested with a comprehensive suite of mock galaxies, real galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and Milky Way globular clusters. We also assess the robustness of the derived properties as a function of signal-to-noise ratio and adopted wavelength range. We show that \FF\ is able to recover age, metallicity, stellar mass and even the star formation history remarkably well down to a $S/N\sim5$, for moderately dusty systems. Code and results are publicly available at www.icg.port.ac.uk/firefly.

description: We present an analysis of previously published measurements of the London penetration depth of layered organic superconductors. The predictions of the BCS theory of superconductivity are shown to disagree with the measured zero temperature, in plane, London penetration depth by up to two orders of magnitude. We find that fluctuations in the phase of the superconducting order parameter do not determine the superconducting critical temperature as the critical temperature predicted for a Kosterlitz--Thouless transition is more than an order of magnitude greater than is found experimentally for some materials. This places constraints on theories of superconductivity in these materials.

Subjects: Baby factory, Socio-cultural pressure, cryptic pregnancy

description: While baby factories may not be a recent phenomenon in Nigeria, there has been an appreciable increase in the number of cases in recent times. Hardly does any month passes without a media report of discovery of baby factory. Over eighty percent of the cases are in the South eastern part of Nigeria. This has raised the question of why the south eastern part of Nigeria? It is against this background that we carried out this research to ascertain the possible cause(s) of prevalence of baby factories in the south east. This work probed the prevalence of baby factories phenomenon in the South eastern part of Nigerian as having a plausible explanation in the culture of the people. Based on data collected through questionnaire and interviews, the researchers came to the conclusion that, the culture of the people of that part of the country plays a significant role in the prevalence of baby factories more than poverty or any other single variable. We used simple percentage table and the chi square to illustrate the responses of our respondents and the existence of any relationship
Double-Mode Stellar Pulsations

description: The status of the hydrodynamical modelling of nonlinear multi-mode stellar pulsations is discussed. The hydrodynamical modelling of steady double-mode (DM) pulsations has been a long-standing quest that is finally being concluded. Recent progress has been made thanks to the introduction of turbulent convection in the numerical hydrodynamical codes which provide detailed results for individual models. An overview of the modal selection problem in the HR diagram can be obtained in the form of bifurcation diagrams with the help of simple nonresonant amplitude equations that capture the DM phenomenon.

Whittaker categories and the minimal nilpotent finite $W$-algebra for $\mathfrak{sl}_{n+1}$

description: For any $\mathbf{a}=(a_1,\dots,a_n)\in \mathbb{C}^n$, we introduce a Whittaker category $\mathcal{H}_{\mathbf{a}}$ whose objects are $\mathfrak{sl}_{n+1}$-modules $M$ such that $e_{0i}-a_i$ acts locally nilpotently on $M$ for all $i \in \{1,\dots,n\}$, and the subspace $\mathrm{wh}_{\mathbf{a}}(M)=\{v\in M \mid e_{0i} v=a_iv, \ i=1,\dots,n\}$ is finite dimensional. In this paper, we first give a tensor product decomposition $U_S=W\otimes B$ of the localization $U_S$ of $U(\mathfrak{sl}_{n+1})$ with respect to the Ore subset $S$ generated by $e_{01},\dots, e_{0n}$. We show that the associative algebra $W$ is isomorphic to the type $A_n$ finite $W$-algebra $W(e)$ defined by a minimal nilpotent element $e$ in $\mathfrak{sl}_{n+1}$. Then using $W$-modules as a bridge, we show that each block with a generalized central character of $\mathcal{H}_{\mathbf{1}}$ is equivalent to the corresponding block of the cuspidal category $\mathcal{C}$, which is completely characterized by Grantcharov and Serganova. As a consequence, each regular integral block of $\mathcal{H}_{\mathbf{1}}$ and the category of finite dimensional modules over $W(e) can be described by a well-studied quiver with certain quadratic relations.

description: Higher-order anisotropic flows $v_{4}$ and $v_{6}$ in heavy ion collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider are studied in a multiphase transport model that has previously been used successfully for describing the elliptic flow $v_2$ in these collisions. We find that the same parton scattering cross section of about 10 \textrm{mb} used in explaining the measured $v_2$ can also reproduce the recent data on $v_{4}$ and $v_{6}$ from Au + Au collisions at $\sqrt{s}=200$ \textrm{AGeV}. It is further found that the $% v_{4}$ is a more sensitive probe of the initial partonic dynamics in these collisions than $v_{2}$. Moreover, higher-order parton anisotropic flows are nonnegligible and satisfy the scaling relation $v_{n,q}(p_{T})\sim v_{2,q}^{n/2}(p_{T})$, which leads naturally to the observed similar scaling relation among hadron anisotropic flows when the coalescence model is used to describe hadron production from the partonic matter.

description: Fallback in core-collapse supernovae is considered a major ingredient for explaining abundance anomalies in metal-poor stars and the natal kicks and spins of black holes (BHs). We present a first 3D simulation of BH formation and fallback in an "aborted" neutrino-driven explosion of a $40$ solar mass zero-metallicity progenitor from collapse to shock breakout. We follow the phase up to BH formation using the relativistic CoCoNuT-FMT code. For the subsequent evolution to shock breakout we apply the moving-mesh code Arepo to core-collapse supernovae for the first time. Our simulation shows that despite early BH formation, neutrino-heated bubbles can survive for tens of seconds before being accreted, leaving them sufficient time to transfer part of their energy to sustain the shock wave as is propagates through the envelope. Although the initial net energy ($\sim 2$ Bethe) of the neutrino-heated ejecta barely equals the binding energy of the envelope, $11\,\mathrm{M}_\odot$ of hydrogen are still expelled with an energy of $0.23$ Bethe. We find no significant mixing and only a modest BH kick and spin, but speculate that stronger effects could occur for slightly more energetic explosions or progenitors with less tightly bound envelopes.

description: In this work, we present a modification of the phase-field tumor growth model given in [26] that leads to bounded, more physically meaningful, volume fraction variables. In addition, we develop an upwind discontinuous Galerkin (DG) scheme preserving the mass conservation, pointwise bounds and energy stability of the continuous model. Finally, some computational tests in accordance with the theoretical results are introduced. In the first test, we compare our DG scheme with the finite element (FE) scheme related to the same time approximation. The DG scheme shows a well-behavior even for strong cross-diffusion effects in contrast with FE where numerical spurious oscillations appear. Moreover, the second test exhibits the behavior of the tumor-growth model under different choices of parameters and also of mobility and proliferation functions.

description: The gravitational waves from compact binary systems are viewed as a standard siren to probe the evolution of the universe. This paper summarizes the potential and ability to use the gravitational waves to constrain the cosmological parameters and the dark sector interaction in the Gaussian process methodology. After briefly introducing the method to reconstruct the dark sector interaction by the Gaussian process, the concept of standard sirens and the analysis of reconstructing the dark sector interaction with LISA are outlined. Furthermore, we estimate the constraint ability of the gravitational waves on cosmological parameters with ET. The numerical methods we use are Gaussian process and the Markov-Chain Monte-Carlo. Finally, we also forecast the improvements of the abilities to constrain the cosmological parameters with ET and LISA combined with the \it Planck.

description: A detection of the predicted anticorrelation between 21cm and either Ly-alpha or H-alpha from the Epoch of Reionization (EOR) would be a powerful probe of the first galaxies. While 3D intensity maps isolate foregrounds in low k_\parallel modes, infrared surveys cannot yet match the field of view and redshift resolution of radio intensity mapping experiments. In contrast, 2D (i.e., broad band) infrared intensity maps can be measured with current experiments and are limited by foregrounds instead of photon or thermal noise. We show 2D experiments can measure most of the 3D fluctuation power at k<0.2 Mpc^-1 while preserving its correlation properties. However, we show foregrounds pose two challenges: (1) simple geometric effects produce percent-level correlations between radio and infrared fluxes, even if their luminosities are uncorrelated; and (2) radio and infrared foreground residuals contribute sample variance noise to the cross spectrum. The first challenge demands better foreground masking and subtraction, while the second demands large fields of view to average away uncorrelated radio and infrared power. Using radio observations from the Murchison Widefield Array and near-infrared observations from the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System, we set an upper limit on residual foregrounds of the 21cm--Ly-alpha cross power spectrum at z\sim7 of Δ^2<181 kJy/sr * mK (95\%) at \ell\sim800. We predict levels of foreground correlation and sample variance noise in future experiments, showing that higher resolution surveys such as LOFAR, SKA-LOW, and the Dark Energy Survey can start to probe models of the 21cm--LyαEOR cross spectrum.

description: Port-Hamiltonian (PH) systems provide a framework for modeling, analysis and control of complex dynamical systems, where the complexity might result from multi-physical couplings, non-trivial domains and diverse nonlinearities. A major benefit of the PH representation is the explicit formulation of power interfaces, so-called ports, which allow for a power-preserving interconnection of subsystems to compose flexible multibody systems in a modular way. In this work, we present a PH representation of geometrically exact strings with nonlinear material behaviour. Furthermore, using structure-preserving discretization techniques a corresponding finite-dimensional PH state space model is developed. Applying mixed finite elements, the semi-discrete model retains the PH structure and the ports (pairs of velocities and forces) on the discrete level. Moreover, discrete derivatives are used in order to obtain an energy-consistent time-stepping method. The numerical properties of the newly devised model are investigated in a representative example. The developed PH state space model can be used for structure-preserving simulation and model order reduction as well as feedforward and feedback control design.

description: Protein Kinase CK2 is a ubiquitous Serin/Threonine Kinase consisting of a catalytic alpha and a regulatory beta subunit. First described in 1954, CK2 is now recognized for its involvement in a variety of biological processes and known to regulate more than 10% of the phosphoproteome. This study introduces a novel, rapid assay to measure CK2α activity in Escherichia coli cell lysates. By fusing CK2α with the fluorescent protein mScarlet it was possible to quantify CK2α concentration directly in lysates. We used the dose-dependent increase of CK2α activity after addition of CK2β1-193 to determine the dissociation constants (KD) of the CK2α/CK2β-interaction. As a first trial, activity and affinity of the variant CK2αR191Q to CK2β1-193 was investigated using the developed assays. This mutation in the CSNK2A1 gene, encoding CK2α is related to the Okur-Chung Neurodevelopmental Syndrome (OCNDS). Apparent KD values of 13 nM for the CK2αR191Q/CK2β interaction and 7.4 nM for the CK2α/CK2β interaction were determined using nonlinear regression. Similarly to recent approaches, uncertainties with regards to the concentration of both binding partners were propagated through the entire process of nonlinear regression by Monte Carlo simulations. This way, accuracy confidence intervals of the KD-values were derived. This resulted in 96.4 % confidence that the accurate KD-values of the CK2α/CK2β and CK2αR191Q/CK2β interactions were different. The results suggest potential disruptions in oligomeric assembly caused by the R191Q mutation.

description: For the quantum well in an optical microcavity, the interplay of the Coulomb interaction and the electron-photon (e-ph) coupling can lead to the hybridizations of the exciton and the cavity photon known as polaritons, which can form the Bose-Einstein condensate above a threshold density. Additional physics due to the nontrivial Berry phase comes into play when the quantum well consists of the gapped two-dimensional (2D) Dirac material such as the transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) MoS$_2$ or WSe$_2$. Specifically, in forming the polariton, the e-ph coupling from the optical selection rule due to the Berry phase can compete against the Coulomb electron-electron (e-e) interaction. We find that this competition gives rise to a rich phase diagram for the polariton condensate involving both topological and symmetry breaking phase transitions, with the former giving rise to the quantum anomalous Hall and the quantum spin Hall phases.

Visual acuity must be light perception of better, and the patient must read fewer than 36 letters on the EVS visual acuity chart at 4 meters (approximately 20/50 or worse). The cornea and anterior chamber of the involved eye must be clear enough to allow visualization of some part of the iris, and the cornea should be dear enough to allow the possibility of pars plana vitrectomy. A hypopyon must be present in the involved eye, or clouding of the anterior chamber or vitreous media must be severe enough to obscure clear visualization of second order retinal arterioles. The EVS is investigating the roles of both vitrectomy and intravenous (IV) antibiotics. Patients are assigned at random to one of four treatment groups: initial vitrectomy with IV antibiotics, initial vitrectomy without IV antibiotics, initial tap with IV antibiotics, or initial tap without IV antibiotics.

Selected as a "PI" instrument for the airborne Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA), SAFIRE will apply two-dimensional pop-up bolometer arrays to provide background-limited imaging spectrometry. Superconducting transition edge bolometers and SQUID multiplexers are being developed for these detectors. SAFIRE is expected to be a "First Light" instrument, useable during the initial SOFIA operations. Although a PI instrument rather than a "Facility Class" science instrument, it will be highly integrated with the standard SOFIA planning, observation, and data analysis tools.

description: We address the key open problem of a higher dimensional generalization of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model. We construct a model on a lattice of SYK dots with non-random intersite hopping. The crucial feature of the resulting band dispersion is the presence of a Lifshitz point where two bands touch with a tunable powerlaw divergent density of states (DOS). For a certain regime of the powerlaw exponent, we obtain a new class of interaction-dominated non-Fermi liquid (NFL) states, which exhibits exciting features such as a zero-temperature scaling symmetry, an emergent (approximate) time reparameterization invariance, a powerlaw entropy-temperature relationship, and a fermion dimension that depends continuously on the DOS exponent. Notably, we further demonstrate that these NFL states are fast scramblers with a Lyapunov exponent $λ_L\propto T$, although they do not saturate the upper bound of chaos, rendering them truly unique.

description: Resonant microwave absorption of a two-dimensional electron system in an AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructure excited by a near-field technique was investigated. Along with collective magnetoplasmon modes, we observed resonance that precisely follows the cyclotron resonance (CR) position and revealed no signs of collective plasma depolarization shift. We show that the discovered CR mode is absent in the Faraday geometry, and is localized at the edge of the exciting metal electrode. Such behavior points in favor of the single-particle Azbel'-Kaner nature of the discovered resonance.

description: We evaluate the one-loop correction to the spectrum of Kaluza-Klein system for the $ϕ^3$ model on $R^{1,d}\times (T_θ^2)^L$, where $1+d$ dimensions are the ordinary flat Minkowski spacetimes and the extra dimensions are the L two-dimensional noncommutative tori with noncommutativity $θ$. The correction to the Kaluza-Klein mass spectrum is then used to compute the Casimir energy. The results show that when $L>2$ the Casimir energy due to the noncommutativity could give repulsive force to stabilize the extra noncommutative tori in the cases of $d = 4n - 2$, with $n$ a positive integral.

description: Larkin-Ovchinnikov (LO) state which combines the superfluidity and spatial periodicity of pairing order parameter and exhibits the supersolid properties has been attracting intense attention in both condensed matter physics and ultracold atoms. Conventionally, realization of LO state from an intrinsic s-wave interacting system necessitates to break the time-reversal (TR) and sometimes spatial-inversion (SI) symmetries. Here we report a novel prediction that the LO state can be realized in a TR and SI symmetric system representing a bilayer Fermi gas subjected to a laserassisted interlayer tunneling. We show that the intralayer s-wave atomic interaction acts effectively like a p-wave interaction in the pseudospin space. This provides distinctive pairing effects in the present system with pseudspin spin-orbit coupling, and leads to a spontaneous density-modulation of the pairing order predicted in a very broad parameter regime. Unlike the conventional schemes, our results do not rely on the spin imbalance or external Zeeman fields, showing a highly feasible way to observe the long-sought-after LO superfluid phase using the laser-assisted bilayer Fermi gases.

description: The ground states of twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) at chiral and flat-band limit with integer fillings are known from exact solutions, while their dynamical and thermodynamical properties are revealed by unbiased quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulations. However, to elucidate experimental observations of correlated metallic, insulating and superconducting states and their transitions, investigations on realistic, or non-chiral cases are vital. Here we employ momentum-space QMC method to investigate the evolution of correlated states in magic-angle TBG away from chiral limit at charge neutrality with polarized spin/valley, which approximates to an experimental case with filling factor $ν=-3$. We find that the ground state evolves from quantum anomalous Hall insulator into an intriguing correlated semimetallic state possessing heavy-fermion features as AA hopping strength reaches experimental values. Such a state resembles the recently proposed heavy-fermion representations with localized electrons residing at AA stacking regions and delocalized electrons itinerating via AB/BA stacking regions. The spectral signatures of the localized and itinerant electrons in the heavy-fermion semimetal phase are revealed, with the connection to experimental results being discussed.

description: Thermal properties of single species nucleon matter are investigated assuming a simple form of the nucleon-nucleon interaction. The nucleons are placed on a cubic lattice, hopping from site to site and interacting through a spin-dependent force, as in the extended, attractive Hubbard model. A mean field calculation in the Hartree-Fock Bogoliubov approximation suggests that the superfluid ground state generated by strong nucleon pairing undergoes a second-order phase transition to a normal state as the temperature increases. The calculation is shown to lead to a promising description of the thermal properties of low-density neutron matter. A possibility of a density wave phase is also examined.

description: Modern data empower observers to describe galaxies as the spatially and biographically complex objects they are. We illustrate this through case studies of four, $z\sim1.3$ systems based on deep, spatially resolved, 17-band + G102 + G141 Hubble Space Telescope grism spectrophotometry. Using full spectrum rest-UV/-optical continuum fitting, we characterize these galaxies' observed $\sim$kpc-scale structures and star formation rates (SFRs) and reconstruct their history over the age of the universe. The sample's diversity---passive to vigorously starforming; stellar masses $\log M_*/M_\odot=10.5$ to $11.2$---enables us to draw spatio-temporal inferences relevant to key areas of parameter space (Milky Way- to super-Andromeda-mass progenitors). Specifically, we find signs that bulge mass-fractions ($B/T$) and SF history shapes/spatial uniformity are linked, such that higher $B/T$s correlate with "inside-out growth" and central specific SFRs that peaked above the global average for all starforming galaxies at that epoch. Conversely, the system with the lowest $B/T$ had a flat, spatially uniform SFH with normal peak activity. Both findings are consistent with models positing a feedback-driven connection between bulge formation and the switch from rising to falling SFRs ("quenching"). While sample size forces this conclusion to remain tentative, this work provides a proof-of-concept for future efforts to refine or refute it: JWST, WFIRST, and the 30-m class telescopes will routinely produce data amenable to this and more sophisticated analyses. These samples---spanning representative mass, redshift, SFR, and environmental regimes---will be ripe for converting into thousands of sub-galactic-scale empirical windows on what individual systems actually looked like in the past, ushering in a new dialog between observation and theory.

Modeling Nonaxisymmetric Bow Shocks: Solution Method and Exact Analytic Solutions
Creators: name: Wilkin, Francis P.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A new solution method is presented for steady-state, momentum-conserving, non-axisymmetric bow shocks and colliding winds in the thin-shell limit. This is a generalization of previous formulations to include a density gradient in the pre-shock ambient medium, as well as anisotropy in the pre-shock wind. For cases where the wind is unaccelerated, the formalism yields exact, analytic solutions. Solutions are presented for two bow shock cases: (1) that due to a star moving supersonically with respect to an ambient medium with a density gradient perpendicular to the stellar velocity, and (2) that due to a star with a misaligned, axisymmetric wind moving in a uniform medium. It is also shown under quite general circumstances that the total rate of energy thermalization in the bow shock is independent of the details of the wind asymmetry, including the orientation of the non-axisymmetric driving wind, provided the wind is non-accelerating and point-symmetric. A typical feature of the solutions is that the region near the standoff point is tilted, so that the star does not lie along the bisector of a parabolic fit to the standoff region. The principal use of this work is to infer the origin of bow shock asymmetries, whether due to the wind or ambient medium, or both.

A numerical study on the design trade-offs of a thin-film thermoelectric generator for large-area applications

description: Thin-film thermoelectric generators with a novel folding scheme are proposed for large-area, low energy-density applications. Both the electrical current and heat transfer are in the plane of the thermoelectric thin-film, yet the heat transfer is across the plane of the module - similar to conventional bulk thermoelectric modules. With such designs, the heat leakage through the module itself can be minimized and the available temperature gradient maximized. Different from the previously reported corrugated thermoelectric generators, the proposed folding scheme enables high packing densities without compromising the thermal contact area to the heat source and sink. The significance of various thermal transport, or leakage, mechanisms in relation to power production is demonstrated for different packing densities and thicknesses of the module under heat sink-limited conditions. It is shown that the power factor is more important than ZT for predicting the power output of such thin-film devices. As very thin thermoelectric films are employed with modest temperature gradients, high aspect-ratio elements are needed to meet the - usually ignored - requirements of practical applications for the current. With the design trade-offs considered, the proposed devices may enable the exploitation of thermoelectric energy harvesting in new - large-area - applications at reasonable cost.

description: Antisense oligonucleotide therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy has shown great potential in preclinical and clinical trials, but its therapeutic applications are still limited due to inefficient delivery. In this study, we investigated a few polyquaterniums (PQs) with different size and composition for their potential to improve delivery performance of an antisense phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomer (PMO) both in vitro and in vivo. The results showed that LuviquatTM series, especially PQ-1 and PQ-3, promoted the exon-skipping efficiency comparable to Endoporter-mediated PMO delivery in vitro. Significant enhancement in skipping dystrophin exon 23 has also been achieved with PQ-3 up to seven-fold when compared to PMO alone in mdx mice. Cytotoxicity of the PQs was lower than Endoporter and PEI 25 K in vitro and muscle damage not clearly detected in vivo under the tested concentrations. These results together demonstrate that the optimization of PQ in molecular size, composition and distribution of positive charges is the key factor to achieve enhanced PMO exon-skipping efficiency. The higher efficiency and lower toxicity endow polyquaternium series as AO delivery enhancing agents for treating muscular dystrophy and other diseases.

description: We report the results of optical spectroscopy of the blue supergiant Sk-69 279 and its circular shell in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) with the Southern African Large Telescope (SALT). We classify Sk-69 279 as an O9.2 Iaf star and analyse its spectrum by using the stellar atmosphere code CMFGEN, obtaining a stellar temperature of \approx 30 kK, a luminosity of log(L_*/Lsun)=5.54, a mass-loss rate of log(\dot{M}/(Msun/yr))=-5.26, and a wind velocity of 800 km/s. We found also that Sk-69 279 possesses an extended atmosphere with an effective temperature of \approx 24 kK and that its surface helium and nitrogen abundances are enhanced, respectively, by factors of \approx 2 and 20--30. This suggests that either Sk-69 279 was initially a (single) fast-rotating (\ga 400 km/s) star, which only recently evolved off the main sequence, or that it is a product of close binary evolution. The long-slit spectroscopy of the shell around Sk-69 279 revealed that its nitrogen abundance is enhanced by the same factor as the stellar atmosphere, which implies that the shell is composed mostly of the CNO processed material lost by the star. Our findings support previous propositions that some massive stars can produce compact circumstellar shells and, presumably, appear as luminous blue variables while they are still on the main sequence or have only recently left it.

description: To assess measurement methods in studies that examined the association between safety and primary school-aged children’s forms of active mobility. Systematic Review in twenty-five peer-reviewed studies showed an absence of standardised measurement methods among relevant studies may have led to the current diversity in findings regarding active mobility, spatial (locality) and temporal (time) characteristics, the neighbourhood, and the representation of safety. Ignorance of the existing gaps and heterogeneity in measures may impact the reliability of evidence and poses a limitation when synthesising findings, which could result in serious biases for policymakers. Given the increasing interest in children’s health studies, we suggested alternatives in the design and method of measures that may guide future evidence-based research for policymakers who aim to improve children’s active mobility and safety.
