description: Thermophysical models allow for improved constraints on the physical and thermal surface properties of asteroids beyond what can be inferred from more simple thermal modeling, provided a sufficient number of observations is available. We present thermophysical modeling results of observations from the NEOWISE mission for two near-Earth asteroids which are the targets of the DESTINY+ flyby mission: (3200) Phaethon and (155140) 2005 UD. Our model assumes a rotating, cratered, spherical surface, and employs a Monte Carlo Markov Chain to explore the multi-dimensional parameter space of the fit. We find an effective spherical diameter for Phaethon of $4.6^{+0.2}_{-0.3}~$km, a geometric albedo of $p_V=0.16\pm0.02$, and a thermal inertia $Γ=880$ $^{+580}_{-330}$, using five epochs of NEOWISE observations. The best model fit for (155140) 2005 UD was less well constrained due to only having two NEOWISE observation epochs, giving a diameter of $1.2\pm0.4~$km and a geometric albedo of $p_V=0.14\pm0.09$.

description: Analysis of three-dimensional biological samples is critical to understanding tissue function and the mechanisms of disease. Many chronic conditions, like neurodegenerative diseases and cancers, correlate with complex tissue changes that are difficult to explore using two-dimensional histology. While three-dimensional techniques such as confocal and light-sheet microscopy are well-established, they are time consuming, require expensive instrumentation, and are limited to small tissue volumes. Three-dimensional microscopy is therefore impractical in clinical settings and often limited to core facilities at major research institutions. There would be a tremendous benefit to providing clinicians and researchers with the ability to routinely image large three-dimensional tissue volumes at cellular resolution. In this paper, we propose an imaging methodology that enables fast and inexpensive three-dimensional imaging that can be readily integrated into current histology pipelines. This method relies on block-face imaging of paraffin-embedded samples using deep-ultraviolet excitation. The imaged surface is then ablated to reveal the next tissue section for imaging. The final image stack is then aligned and reconstructed to provide tissue models that exceed the depth and resolution achievable with modern three-dimensional imaging systems.

description: Activity recognition is a challenging problem with many practical applications. In addition to the visual features, recent approaches have benefited from the use of context, e.g., inter-relationships among the activities and objects. However, these approaches require data to be labeled, entirely available beforehand, and not designed to be updated continuously, which make them unsuitable for surveillance applications. In contrast, we propose a continuous-learning framework for context-aware activity recognition from unlabeled video, which has two distinct advantages over existing methods. First, it employs a novel active-learning technique that not only exploits the informativeness of the individual activities but also utilizes their contextual information during query selection; this leads to significant reduction in expensive manual annotation effort. Second, the learned models can be adapted online as more data is available. We formulate a conditional random field model that encodes the context and devise an information-theoretic approach that utilizes entropy and mutual information of the nodes to compute the set of most informative queries, which are labeled by a human. These labels are combined with graphical inference techniques for incremental updates. We provide a theoretical formulation of the active learning framework with an analytic solution. Experiments on six challenging datasets demonstrate that our framework achieves superior performance with significantly less manual labeling.

Barringtonica

description: Barringtonica n. gen.
 Type species. Barringtonica polblue n. sp. –here designated.
 Etymology. For the Barrington Tops.
 Diagnosis. Shell very small, silky golden brown weakly planispiral to bi-concave with tightly coiled whorls the last inflated, spire slightly to strongly depressed. Protoconch sculpture spiral consisting of low, flattened, broad spiral cords, with distinct radial growth ripples developing near teleoconch junction; teleoconch with numerous prominent radial ribs; microsculpture cancellate with prominent microradial ribs and low microspiral cords. Aperture broadly ovately-lunate. Umbilicus U shaped to wide, cup-shaped. Penis with an expanded apical portion becoming tubular distally. Verge absent, no pilaster formation observed.
 Distribution and habitat. Known from the volcanics of the western Barrington Tops rainforest massif off the Scone-Gloucester road and in upper Moonan Brook valley, east of Scone, NSW; found in sub-alpine woodland and vine thicket, living under logs and rocks.
 Remarks. Barringtonica n. gen. is distinguished by the protoconch sculpture of numerous low flattened spiral cords and radial ridges which become prominent on the latter parts of the protoconch. Comboynea n. gen. has similar low spiral cords that are generally fewer in number, and indistinct underlying radial ridges. Anatomically it differs from both Cumberlandica and Planorbacochlea (most species) chiefly by the lack of a penial verge. The absence of any pilaster formation would seem to indicate that the male reproductive system in the material studied was either immature or seasonally under-developed.

description: We study the problem of finding optimal routes and schedules for multiple vehicles traveling in a network. Vehicles may have different origins and destinations, and must coordinate their trajectories to keep a minimum distance from each other at any time. We determine a route and a schedule for each vehicle, which possibly requires vehicles to wait at some nodes. Vehicles are heterogeneous in terms of their speed on each arc, which we assume is known and constant once in motion. Applications of this problem include air and maritime routing, where vehicles maintain a steady cruising speed as well as a safety distance to avoid collision. Additional related problems arise in the transportation of hazardous materials and in military operations, where vehicles cannot be too close to each other given the risk posed to the population or the mission in case of a malicious attack. We discuss the hardness of this problem and present an exact formulation for its solution. We devise an exact solution algorithm based on a network decomposition that exploits the sparsity of the optimal solution. We illustrate the performance of our methods on real and randomly generated networks.

description: As part of the Swift/UVOT Stars Survey, we present near-ultraviolet point-source photometry for 103 Galactic open clusters. These data, taken over the span of the mission, provide a unique and unprecedented set of near-ultraviolet point-source photometry on simple stellar populations. After applying membership analysis fueled mostly by GAIA DR2 proper motions, we find that 49 of these 103 have clear precise CMDs amenable to investigation. We compare the CMDs to theoretical isochrones and find good agreement between the theoretical isochrones and the CMDs. The exceptions are the fainter parts of the main sequence and the red giant branch in the uvw2-uvw1 CMDs, which is most likely due either to the difficulty of correcting for the red leak in the uvw2 filter or limitations in our understanding of UV opacities for cool stars. For the most part, our derived cluster parameters -- age, distance and reddening -- agree with the consensus literature but we find a few clusters that warrant substantial revision from literature values, notably NGC~2304, NGC~2343, NGC~2360, NGC~2396, NGC~2428, NGC~2509, NGC~2533, NGC~2571, NGC~2818, Collinder~220 and NGC~6939. A number of clusters also show white dwarf and blue straggler sequences. We confirm the presence of extended main sequence turnoffs in NGC~2360 and NGC~2818 and show hints of it in a number of other clusters which may warrant future spectroscopic study. Most of the clusters in the study have low extinction and the rest are well fit by a "Milky-Way-like" extinction law. However, Collinder~220 hints at a possible "LMC-like" extinction law. We finally provide a comprehensive point-source catalog to the community as a tool for future investigation.

description: This paper explores the relationship between income and eating behavior. To do this we examine choice in two food categories: milk and soft drinks. These categories have varieties differing in health qualities but either no differences in cost or lower cost for the healthier types. By examining food choices when there are no measurable cost differences but clear health differences, we are able to isolate the association between income and healthy eating behavior. We find a negative association between income and dietary intake of higher-calorie types of milk and soft drinks. Our estimates are consistent across the five sets of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and the Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals data that we study. For 2005 we estimate that an income increase of $10,000 is linked to a reduction in 377 calories from milk and 2,555 calories from soft drinks per year. Our results suggest that the cost of food may not be the only reason why low income people have less healthy diets.

description: Most previous studies concerning process flexibility designs have focused on expected sales and demand uncertainty. In this paper, we examine the worst-case performance of flexibility designs in the case of demand and supply uncertainties, where the latter can be in the form of either plant or arc disruptions. We define the Plant Cover Index under Disruptions (PCID) as the minimum required plants’ capacity to supply a fixed number of products after the disruptions. By exploiting PCID, we establish that under symmetric uncertainty sets the worst-case performance can be expressed in terms of PCID, supply and demand uncertainties. Additionally, PCID enables us to make meaningful comparisons of different designs. In particular, we demonstrate that under disruptions the 2-long chain design is superior to a broad class of designs. Moreover, we identify a condition wherein both Q-short and Q-long chain designs have the same worst-case performance. We also discuss the notion of fragility that quantifies the impact of disruptions in the worst case and compare fragilities of Q-short and Q-long chain designs under different types of disruptions. Finally, by employing PCID, we develop an algorithm to generate designs that perform well under supply and demand uncertainties in both the worst case and in expectation.

description: In recent years, many researchers have sought to measure the effects of adolescent soft drink consumption due to a suspected link with childhood obesity and other negative health outcomes. While most studies in the existing literature have focused on physical health outcomes, the current study seeks to analyze how providing soft drinks in vending machines affects adolescent in-school behavior and academics. The data for this analysis comes from a school district in which a subset of schools prohibited the sale of soft drinks in vending machines. Using this subset of schools as a treatment group, students at the treatment schools are compared with students at the schools that did not change their vending machine policies. A difference-in-differences estimation shows that the number of times a student was tardy to class decreased significantly at the treatment schools. Students also were less likely to be referred to the principal’s office for behavior problems following the policy change. These results suggest that policies directed toward restrictions on soft drinks in school vending machines might improve behavioral outcomes for students.

description: We discuss two well known network measures: the overlap weight of an edge and the clustering coefficient of a node. For both of them it turns out that they are not very useful for data analytic task to identify important elements (nodes or links) of a given network. The reason for this is that they attain their largest values on maximal subgraphs of relatively small size that are more probable to appear in a network than that of larger size. We show how the definitions of these measures can be corrected in such a way that they give the expected results. We illustrate the proposed corrected measures by applying them on the US Airports network using the program Pajek.

description: We report on the results of angle-resolved photoemission experiments on a quasi-one-dimensional $MX$-chain compound [Ni(chxn)$_2$Br]Br$_2$ (chxn = 1$R$,2$R$-cyclohexanediamine), a one-dimensional Heisenberg system with $S=1/2$ and $J \sim 3600$ K, which shows a gigantic non-linear optical effect. A "band" having about 500 meV energy dispersion is found in the first half of the Brillouin zone $(0\le kb/π<1/2)$, but disappears at $kb / π\sim 1/2$. Two dispersive features, expected from the spin-charge separation, as have been observed in other quasi-one-dimensional systems like Sr$_2$CuO$_3$, are not detected. These characteristic features are well reproduced by the $d$-$p$ chain model calculations with a small charge-transfer energy $Δ$ compared with that of one-dimensional Cu-O based compounds. We propose that this smaller $Δ$ is the origin of the absence of clear spin- and charge-separation in the photoemission spectra and strong non-linear optical effect in [Ni(chxn)$_2$Br]Br$_2$.

Finding the Inharmonicity Coefficients of Strings for Two Models of Upright Pianos

description: This study seeks to find the inharmonicity coefficients (B values), or the coefficients determining how much an overtone deviates from an integer multiple of the fundamental frequency, for the strings of a Kimball 4274 upright piano and a Yamaha U30BL upright piano. B values were found for notes A and D# from the 0th to 7th octave. B values were found through frequency analysis done by Audacity, fitting the measured harmonic frequencies to the equation for harmonic frequency derived from the harmonic number and fundamental frequency. B value trends for both data sets were analyzed and explanations were proposed. Theoretical B values based on approximate string tension, radius, length, and Young’s Modulus were found for each corresponding string and compared to the actual B values. The B value data sets for the two piano models were also compared and provided in full. Inharmonicity coefficients were studied due to the implications of inharmonicity in piano tuning.

description: We show how snake-orbit states which run along a magnetic edge can be confined electrically. We consider a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) confined into a quantum wire, subjected to a strong perpendicular and steplike magnetic field $B/-B$. Close to this magnetic step new, spatially confined bound states arise as a result of the lateral confinement and the magnetic field step. The number of states, with energy below the first Landau level, increases as $B$ becomes stronger or as the wire width becomes larger. These bound states can be understood as an interference between two counter-propagating one-dimensional snake-orbit states.

description: Fill-and-finish is among the most commonly outsourced operations in biopharmaceutical manufacturing and involves several challenges. For example, fill-operations have a random production yield, as biopharmaceutical drugs might lose their quality or stability during these operations. In addition, biopharmaceuticals are fragile molecules that need specialized equipment with limited capacity, and the associated production quantities are often strictly regulated. The non-stationary nature of the biopharmaceutical demand and limitations in forecasts add another layer of challenge in production planning. Furthermore, most companies tend to “freeze” their production decisions for a limited period of time, in which they do not react to changes in the manufacturing system. Using such freeze periods helps to improve stability in planning, but comes at a price of reduced flexibility. To address these challenges, we develop a finite-horizon, discounted-cost Markov decision model, and optimize the production decisions in biopharmaceutical fill-and-finish operations. We characterize the structural properties of optimal cost and policies, and propose a new, zone-based decision-making approach for these operations. More specifically, we show that the state space can be partitioned into decision zones that provide guidelines for optimal production policies. We illustrate the use of the model with an industry case study.

description: To test the potential of using amino acid abundances as a biosignature at icy ocean worlds, we investigate whether primordial amino acids (accreted or formed by early aqueous processes) could persist until the present time. By examining the decomposition kinetics of amino acids in aqueous solution based on existing laboratory rate data, we find that all fourteen proteinogenic amino acids considered in this study decompose to a very large extent (>99.9%) over relatively short lengths of time in hydrothermally active oceans. Therefore, as a rule of thumb, we suggest that if amino acids are detected at Enceladus, Europa, or other hydrothermally active ocean worlds above a concentration of 1 nM, they should have been formed recently and not be relicts of early processes. In particular, the detection of aspartic acid (Asp) and threonine (Thr) would strongly suggest active production within the ocean, as these amino acids cannot persist beyond 1 billion years even at the freezing point temperature of 273K. Identifying amino acids from the oceans of icy worlds can provide key insight into their history of organic chemistry.

description: Yaoshania, new genus
 Type species. Protomyzon pachychilus Chen 1980b (Figs. 1, 2A, 3A).
 Etymology. The generic name is derived from the Dayaoshan, the mountain from where the type species was recorded. Gender feminine.
 Diagnosis. Yaoshania is distinguished from all other genera of Balitoridae by: a unique enlarged lip lamina at angle of mouth (Fig. 3A), connecting the upper lip and maxillary. Other characters useful to diagnose the genus, but not unique to it are: gill opening large, with the ventral extremity reaching lower extremity of pectoral-fin base (Fig. 2A); upper lip and rostral fold separated by a groove, rostral fold with four notches to accommodate rostral barbels; two pairs of rostral barbels and one pair of maxillary barbels; a small fleshy lobe present posterior to each maxillary barbel; pectoral fin with one simple and 17–18 branched rays; pelvic fin with one simple and 8–9 branched rays; side of body lacking vertical blotches in adult; lateral line with 71–75 scales.
We retain the wording 'lip lamina' (as used by Chen 1980a) for the flange of skin originating under the lateral part of the upper lip and continuous with the maxillary barbel. This flange appears as if pinched between the rostral fold and the upper lip. We have not observed significant ontogenetic differences in the development of the lamina in our material.

description: Two naphthalene-containing compounds, 4-hydroxy-6,7-dimethoxy-1-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2-naphthoic acid (A) and 4-hydroxy-6,7-dimethoxy-1-phenyl-2-naphthoic acid (B), were prepared by several steps. Their bindings to human serum albumin (HSA) were studied by ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis) absorption, fluorescence, synchronous fluorescence, three-dimensional fluorescence, circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopies and molecular docking. The crystal data of these compounds show the structure of the compounds. The results show that the mechanism of the interaction between compound A and HSA is mixed-quenching (both dynamic and static quenching), while that of compound B and HSA is static quenching. The number of binding sites, binding constants and binding distance (r) were obtained. The interaction processes are spontaneous. A mainly interacts with HSA through typical hydrophobic interaction, and B binds to HSA mainly by the hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces. The conformation of HSA changes slightly after the addition of the compounds. Besides, molecular docking method was used to study the interaction details between the compounds and HSA. This is helpful to understand the absorption and metabolism of these two compounds in the body, and provides a basis for designing naphthalene-containing drugs. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

description: Many scholars and activists are interested in the potential for school-based childhood nutrition programs to positively impact the U.S. agri-food system. This paper explores efforts of a national K–12 school food collaborative to procure more sustainably grown and healthful food products. After a review of literature on transaction cost theory and school food procurement, the paper examines the potential of strategic partnerships in a value chain framework to meet procurement change goals. Results from a qualitative study of two participating school districts suggest that partnerships can offer potential solutions to recurring procurement barriers found in previous research.
QCD and the eta prime Mass: Instantons or Confinement?

description: We argue that lattice calculations of the $η'$ mass in QCD with $N_c=2$ colors performed at non-zero baryon chemical potential can be used to study the mechanism responsible for the mass of the $η'$. QCD with two colors is an ideal laboratory because it exhibits confinement, chiral symmetry breaking and a would-be $U(1)_A$ Goldstone boson at all densities. Since the instanton density and the confinement scale vary with density in a very different way, instantons are clearly distinguishable from other possible mechanisms. There is an instanton prediction for the $η'$ mass at large density that can be compared to lattice results. The density dependence of the instanton contribution is a simple consequence of the integer topological charge carried by the instanton. We also argue that $N_c=3$ color QCD at finite isospin density can be used in order to study the origin of OZI-violation in the scalar sector.

description: Rational choice theory commonly assumes that the presence of unselected choices cannot impact which among the remaining choices is selected—-often referred to as “independence of irrelevant alternatives.” We show that such seemingly irrelevant alternatives influence choice in a school lunch setting. In these lunchrooms, we provide evidence that the presence of specific side dishes-—trigger foods-—can strongly increase the sales of unhealthy à la carte options, even when the trigger foods are not selected. This behavioral anomaly can be exploited to lead children to healthier choices. We also offer a method that can be used to identify such foods.

description: Unitary $t$-designs are `good' finite subsets of the unitary group $U(d)$ that approximate the whole unitary group $U(d)$ well. Unitary $t$-designs have been applied in randomized benchmarking, tomography, quantum cryptography and many other areas of quantum information science. If a unitary $t$-design itself is a group then it is called a unitary $t$-group. Although it is known that unitary $t$-designs in $U(d)$ exist for any $t$ and $d$, the unitary $t$-groups do not exist for $t\geq 4$ if $d\geq 3$, as it is shown by Guralnick-Tiep (2005) and Bannai-Navarro-Rizo-Tiep (BNRT, 2018). Explicit constructions of exact unitary $t$-designs in $U(d)$ are not easy in general. In particular, explicit constructions of unitary $4$-designs in $U(4)$ have been an open problem in quantum information theory. We prove that some exact unitary $(t+1)$-designs in the unitary group $U(d)$ are constructed from unitary $t$-groups in $U(d)$ that satisfy certain specific conditions. Based on this result, we specifically construct exact unitary $3$-designs in $U(3)$ from the unitary $2$-group $SL(3,2)$ in $U(3),$ and also unitary $4$-designs in $U(4)$ from the unitary $3$-group $Sp(4,3)$ in $U(4)$ numerically. We also discuss some related problems.

Dewetting of thin films on heterogeneous substrates: Pinning vs. coarsening

description: We study a model for a thin liquid film dewetting from a periodic heterogeneous substrate (template). The amplitude and periodicity of a striped template heterogeneity necessary to obtain a stable periodic stripe pattern, i.e. pinning, are computed. This requires a stabilization of the longitudinal and transversal modes driving the typical coarsening dynamics during dewetting of a thin film on a homogeneous substrate. If the heterogeneity has a larger spatial period than the critical dewetting mode, weak heterogeneities are sufficient for pinning. A large region of coexistence between coarsening dynamics and pinning is found.
