description: The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) recently identified the need to improve its capacity for detecting and tracking land-based sources of pollution (LBSP) in coastal waters, particularly microbial contaminants like fecal indicator bacteria (FIB). Reported here is a baseline study of a suite of host-specific FIB microbial source tracking (MST) markers in the coastal shoreline and reef waters around the island of Saipan. Three sampling campaigns were conducted in September 2017, March 2018, and August 2018. Samples were collected from the nearshore surface waters of Saipan, the reef waters of Saipan Lagoon, and groundwater from beaches along the Saipan Lagoon shoreline. Measurements of submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) into nearshore waters and isotopic source tracking of nitrogen inputs were conducted concurrently with MST. Environmental DNA was extracted from the samples and analyzed by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) for MST gene markers of fecal Bacteroidales specifically associated with humans, dogs, cows, and pigs, and for an MST gene marker of Catellicoccus associated with seabirds. MST assessments were combined with local knowledge, assessments of sanitary infrastructure, and routine watershed surveys. This study identified hotspots of human FIB along the western Saipan Lagoon shoreline in both surface waters and groundwater, plus another hotspot of human FIB at a popular tourist bathing area known as the Grotto. FIB hotspots on the Lagoon shoreline coincided with areas of high SGD and nitrogen isotopic data indicating sewage-derived N inputs. It appears that faulty sanitary infrastructure may be contributing to inputs to Saipan Lagoon, while bather shedding is likely a primary input for the Grotto area. Moderate levels of dog fecal contamination were common and widespread across the island. High levels of seabird fecal contamination were more random, both spatially and temporally, and mostly concentrated along the less developed northeast region of Saipan. No significant levels of cow or pig fecal marker were detected in coastal water samples. This study provides demonstration and establishment of analytical capacity to resource management in CNMI for MST technology to aid in trouble-shooting water quality issues involving land-based sources of microbial contaminants to CNMI coastal waters.

description: Five-dimensional braneworld cosmology with deSitter (inflationary) brane universe induced by classical and quantum matter is discussed. It is shown that negative energy phantom field with quantum CFT supports the creation of deSitter universe. On the same time, pure phantom or dust with quantum effects, or Chaplygin gas with quantum effects may naturally lead to the occurence of Anti-deSitter brane universe but not deSitter one. It is also interesting that unlike to four-dimensional gravity, for phantom with (or without) quantum contribution the standard cosmological energy conditions may be effectively satisfied.

description: A model of a quantum version of classical games should reproduce the original classical games in order to be able to make a comparative analysis of quantum and classical effects. We analyze a class of symmetric multipartite entangled states and their effect on the reproducibility of the classical games. We present the necessary and sufficient condition for the reproducibility of the original classical games. Satisfying this condition means that complete orthogonal bases can be constructed from a given multipartite entangled state provided that each party is restricted to two local unitary operators. We prove that most of the states belonging to the class of symmetric states with respect to permutations, including the N-qubit W state, do not satisfy this condition.

description: We present accurate numerical estimates for the correlation amplitudes of leading and main subleading terms of the two- and four-spin correlation functions in the one-dimensional spin-1/2 XXZ model under a magnetic field. These data are obtained by fitting the correlation functions, computed numerically with the density-matrix renormalization-group method, to the corresponding correlation functions in the low-energy effective theory. For this purpose we have developed the Abelian bosonization approach to the spin chain under the open boundary conditions. We use the numerical data of the correlation amplitudes to quantitatively estimate spin gaps induced by a transverse staggered field and by exchange anisotropy.

description: In circumstellar gas, the complex organic molecule methanol has been found almost exclusively around young stellar objects, and is thus regarded as a signpost of recent star formation. Here we report the first probable detection of methanol around an evolved high-mass star, in the complex circumstellar environment around the Luminous Blue Variable $η$ Carinae, while using ALMA to investigate molecular cloud conditions traced by CO (2-1) in an orbit phase of the massive binary preceding the 2020 periastron. Favoring methanol over a $^{13}$CS alternative, the emission originates from hot ($T_{\rm{gas}} \simeq$ 700 K) material, $\sim$2$''$ (0.02 pc) across, centered on the dust-obscured binary in contrast to the CO which traces inner layers of the extended massive equatorial torus, and is accompanied by prominent absorption in a cooler ($T_{\rm{gas}} \simeq$ 110 K) layer of gas. We also report detections of water in $Herschel$/HIFI observations at 557 GHz and 988 GHz. The methanol abundance is several to 50 times higher than observed towards several lower mass stars, while water abundances are similar to those observed in cool, dense molecular clouds. The very high methanol:water abundance ratio in the core of $η$ Carinae may suggest methanol formation processes similar to Fischer-Tropsch-type catalytic reactions on dust grains. These observations prove that complex molecule formation can occur in the chemically evolved environments around massive stars in the end stages of their evolution, given sufficient gas densities and shielding conditions as may occur in material around massive interacting companions and merger remnants.

description: In this work we present dipole scattering amplitudes, including the dependence on the impact-parameter, for a variety of nuclear targets of interest for the electron-ion colliders (EICs) being currently designed. These amplitudes are obtained by numerically solving the Balitsky-Kovchegov equation with the collinearly improved kernel. Two different cases are studied: initial conditions representing the nucleus under consideration and the solutions based on an initial condition representing a proton complemented by a Glauber-Gribov prescription to obtain dipole-nucleus amplitudes. We find that the energy evolution of these two approaches differ. We use the obtained dipole scattering amplitudes to predict ($i$) nuclear structure functions that can be measured in deep-inelastic scattering at EICs and ($ii$) nuclear suppression factors that reveal the energy evolution of shadowing for the different cases we studied. We compare our predictions with the available data.

description: Synthesis of crystallographically well-defined thin films of topological materials is important for unraveling their mesoscale quantum properties and for device applications. Mn$_3$Ge, an antiferromagnetic Weyl semimetal with a chiral magnetic structure on a Kagome lattice, is expected to have enhanced Berry curvature around Weyl nodes near the Fermi energy, leading to large anomalous Hall / Nernst effects and a large spin-Hall effect. Using magnetron sputtering, we have grown epitaxial thin films of hexagonal D0$_{19}$ Mn$_3$Ge that are flat and continuous. Large anomalous Nernst and inverse spin-Hall effects are observed in thermoelectric and spin-pumping devices. The anomalous Nernst signal in our Mn$_3$Ge films is estimated to be 0.1 $μ$V / K, and is comparable to that in ferromagnetic Fe, despite Mn$_3$Ge having a weak magnetization of ~3.5 m$μ_B$ at room temperature. The spin mixing conductance is 90.5 nm$^{-2}$ at the Py / Mn$_3$Ge interface, and the spin-Hall angle in Mn$_3$Ge is estimated to be about 8 times of that in Pt.

description: Acoustic streaming is an ubiquitous phenomenon resulting from time-averaged nonlinear dynamics in oscillating fluids. In this theoretical study, we show that acoustic streaming can be suppressed by two orders of magnitude in major regions of a fluid by optimizing the shape of its confining walls. Remarkably, the acoustic pressure is not suppressed in this shape-optimized cavity, and neither is the acoustic radiation force on suspended particles. This basic insight may lead to applications, such as acoustophoretic handling of nm-sized particles, which is otherwise impaired by acoustic~streaming.

description: The masses and decay constants of pseudoscalar mesons $ D $, $ D_s $, and $ K $ are determined in quenched lattice QCD with exact chiral symmetry. For 100 gauge configurations generated with single-plaquette action at $ β= 6.1 $ on the $ 20^3 \times 40 $ lattice, we compute point-to-point quark propagators for 30 quark masses in the range $ 0.03 \le m_q a \le 0.80 $, and measure the time-correlation functions of pseudoscalar and vector mesons. The inverse lattice spacing $ a^{-1} $ is determined with the experimental input of $ f_π$, while the strange quark bare mass ($ m_s a = 0.08 $), and the charm quark bare mass ($ m_c a = 0.80 $) are fixed such that the masses of the corresponding vector mesons are in good agreement with $ ϕ(1020) $ and $ J/ψ(3097) $ respectively. Our results of pseudoscalar-meson decay constant are: $ f_K = 152(6)(10) $ MeV, $ f_D = 235(8)(14)$ MeV, and $ f_{D_s} = 266(10)(18) $ MeV [hep-ph/0506266]. The latest experimental result of $ f_{D^+} $ from CLEO [hep-ex/0508057] is in good agreement with our prediction.

description: The electron self-energy for long-range Coulomb interactions plays a crucial role in understanding the many-body physics of interacting electron systems (e.g. in metals and semiconductors), and has been studied extensively for decades. In fact, it is among the oldest and the most-investigated many body problems in physics. However, there is a lack of an analytical expression for the self-energy $Re Σ^{(R)}( \varepsilon,T)$ when energy $\varepsilon$ and temperature $k_{B} T$ are arbitrary with respect to each other (while both being still small compared with the Fermi energy). We revisit this problem and calculate analytically the self-energy on the mass shell for a two-dimensional electron system with Coulomb interactions in the high density limit $r_s \ll 1$, for temperature $ r_s^{3/2} \ll k_{B} T/ E_F \ll r_s$ and energy $r_s^{3/2} \ll |\varepsilon |/E_F \ll r_s$. We provide the exact high-density analytical expressions for the real and imaginary parts of the electron self-energy with arbitrary value of $\varepsilon /k_{B} T$, to the leading order in the dimensionless Coulomb coupling constant $r_s$, and to several higher than leading orders in $k_{B} T/r_s E_F$ and $\varepsilon /r_s E_F$. We also obtain the asymptotic behavior of the self-energy in the regimes $|\varepsilon | \ll k_{B} T$ and $|\varepsilon | \gg k_{B} T$. The higher-order terms have subtle and highly non-trivial compound logarithmic contributions from both $\varepsilon $ and $T$, explaining why they have never before been calculated in spite of the importance of the subject matter.

description: Solar coronal plumes long seemed to possess a simple geometry supporting spatially coherent, stable outflow without significant fine structure. Recent high-resolution observations have challenged this picture by revealing numerous transient, small-scale, collimated outflows (“jetlets”) at the base of plumes. The dynamic filamentary structure of solar plumes above these outflows, and its relationship with the overall plume structure, have remained largely unexplored. We analyzed the statistics of continuously observed fine structure inside a single representative bright plume within a mid-latitude coronal hole during 2016 July 2-3. By applying advanced edge-enhancement and spatiotemporal analysis techniques to extended series of high-resolution images from the Solar Dynamics Observatory's Atmospheric Imaging Assembly, we determined that the plume was composed of numerous time-evolving filamentary substructures, referred to as “plumelets” in this paper, that accounted for most of the plume emission. The number of simultaneously identifiable plumelets was positively correlated with plume brightness, peaked in the fully formed plume, and remained saturated thereafter. The plumelets had transverse widths of 10 Mm and intermittently supported upwardly propagating periodic disturbances with phase speeds of 190-260 km s−1 and longitudinal wavelengths of 55-65 Mm. The characteristic frequency (≈ 3.3 mHz) is commensurate with that of solar p-modes. Oscillations in neighboring plumelets are uncorrelated, indicating that the waves could be driven by p-mode flows at spatial scales smaller than the plumelet separation. Multiple independent sources of outflow within a single coronal plume should impart significant fine structure to the solar wind that may be detectable by Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter.

description: We report the experimental implementation of the Dicke model in the semiclassical approximation, which describes a large number of two-level atoms interacting with a single-mode electromagnetic field in a perfectly reflecting cavity. This is managed by making use of two non-linearly coupled active, synthetic LC circuits, implemented by means of analog electrical components. The simplicity and versatility of our platform allows us not only to experimentally explore the coexistence of regular and chaotic trajectories in the Dicke model but also to directly observe the so-called ground-state and excited-state ``quantum'' phase transitions. In this analysis, the trajectories in phase space, Lyapunov exponents and the recently introduced Out-of-Time-Order-Correlator (OTOC) are used to identify the different operating regimes of our electronic device. Exhaustive numerical simulations are performed to show the quantitative and qualitative agreement between theory and experiment.

description: The accession of the Slovak Republic to the European Union and the permanent pressure of competitive environment in which the companies of the Slovak poultry industry are also involved have a significant influence on the decisions made by the top management. If the companies want to keep up with new marketing conditions, they are forced permanently to improve production economy. One of the possibilities of improving the economy of poultry meat production is the introduction of new trends in poultry nutrition. Probiotics and their application through drinking water seem to be a good and thrifty option to improve performance, decrease mortality as well as feed consumption, and at the same time to keep high quality of poultry products. These facts were also confirmed by the results from our testing the Lactobacillus fermentum-based probiotic preparation in broiler chick fattening. According to these results, the tested probiotic preparation can be recommended for a wide range of applications in poultry nutrition. Its use has led to the productivity improvement from the aspect of an increase in produced meat and a decrease both in mortality and feed consumption, thus increasing the profit of poultry meat production.

Subjects: Health Care

description: More and more people die due to chronic diseases, leading to increasing demand and provision of palliative care. This type of assistance is intended to promote pain relief and other distressing symptoms and should include the investigations necessary for its better understanding and approach. It is important to consider the fact that wounds can be present in these processes and that the quality of life of a patient can be improved or at least kept by the control of the signs and symptoms. Thus, the objective of this work was to present and discuss relevant general aspects about signs and symptoms in the management of wounds in palliative care. It is a narrative literature review which covered the period between 1998 and 2018. The LILACS, SCIELO and PUBMED databases were used, using the following descriptors: wound healing; palliative care and symptoms. General aspects related to signs and symptoms in the management of wounds in palliative care were presented. A patient-centered approach and an effective program for the control of signs and symptoms of wounds in palliative care can present innumerable benefits to the patient, optimizing their functional status, quality of life and dignity in the face of terminality.

description: Solar coronal plumes long seemed to possess a simple geometry supporting spatially coherent, stable outflow without significant fine structure. Recent high-resolution observations have challenged this picture by revealing numerous transient, small-scale, collimated outflows (“jetlets”) at the base of plumes. The dynamic filamentary structure of solar plumes above these outflows, and its relationship with the overall plume structure, have remained largely unexplored. We analyzed the statistics of continuously observed fine structure inside a single representative bright plume within a mid-latitude coronal hole during 2016 July 2-3. By applying advanced edge-enhancement and spatiotemporal analysis techniques to extended series of high-resolution images from the Solar Dynamics Observatory's Atmospheric Imaging Assembly, we determined that the plume was composed of numerous time-evolving filamentary substructures, referred to as “plumelets” in this paper, that accounted for most of the plume emission. The number of simultaneously identifiable plumelets was positively correlated with plume brightness, peaked in the fully formed plume, and remained saturated thereafter. The plumelets had transverse widths of 10 Mm and intermittently supported upwardly propagating periodic disturbances with phase speeds of 190-260 km s−1 and longitudinal wavelengths of 55-65 Mm. The characteristic frequency (≈ 3.3 mHz) is commensurate with that of solar p-modes. Oscillations in neighboring plumelets are uncorrelated, indicating that the waves could be driven by p-mode flows at spatial scales smaller than the plumelet separation. Multiple independent sources of outflow within a single coronal plume should impart significant fine structure to the solar wind that may be detectable by Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter.

description: The problem of sustainability on USC's Vancouver campus will be tack led through student's laundry habits . The report investigates the value of 3 laundry detergents as green alternatives to a laundry detergent popularly used by USC residence students. Of the 3 green alternatives, the best will be proposed to the SHHS to be used in stocking vending machines and mini marts on campus and residence. The most popular laundry detergent used by USC residence students is Tide. Tide Coldwater was chosen for a benchmark because of this. The 3 green alternatives chosen to compare against are those products made by Method, Seventh Generation and Nature Clean. Following the choices a triple bottom line analysis comparison was made of all the detergents. Tide Coldwater had the best cleaning capabilities and best availability, but fails when it comes to toxicity or any sustainable features . Method's products are new and have not reached a point where they could be made readily available for mass consumption, nor were there cleaning abilities up to par with Tide , but they do wonders for increasing awareness of sustainability. Nature Clean and Seventh Generation have similar cleaning capabilities and ingredients, Seventh Generation's being somewhat less toxic and also having a better availability. In terms of price, all green products were relatively similar while Tide was far more expensive. Our recommendation for the SHHS of a green alternative to USC residence students preferred laundry detergent would be products made by Seventh Generation Disclaimer: “UBC SEEDS provides students with the opportunity to share the findings of their studies, as well as their opinions, conclusions and recommendations with the UBC community.

description: Scattering theory is a standard tool for the description of transport phenomena in mesoscopic systems. Here, we provide a detailed derivation of this method for nano-scale conductors that are driven by oscillating electric or magnetic fields. Our approach is based on an extension of the conventional Lippmann-Schwinger formalism to systems with a periodically time dependent Hamiltonian. As a key result, we obtain a systematic perturbation scheme for the Floquet scattering amplitudes that describe the transition of a transport carrier through a periodically driven sample. Within a general multi-terminal setup, we derive microscopic expressions for the mean values and time-integrated correlation functions, or zero-frequency noise, of matter and energy currents, thus unifying the results of earlier studies. We show that this framework is inherently consistent with the first and the second law of thermodynamics and prove that the mean rate of entropy production vanishes only if all currents in the system are zero. As an application, we derive a generalized Green-Kubo relation, which makes it possible to express the response of any mean currents to small variations of temperature and chemical potential gradients in terms of time integrated correlation functions between properly chosen currents. Finally, we discuss potential topics for future studies and further reaching applications of the Floquet scattering approach to quantum transport in stochastic and quantum thermodynamics.

QSO + galaxy association and discrepant redshifts in NEQ3

description: Spectroscopy and deep imaging of the group NEQ3 are presented. This system is formed by three compact objects with relative separations of ~2.6 and ~2.8 arcsec, and a lenticular galaxy at ~17 arcsec from the geometric centre of the group. A diffuse filament is located on a line joining the three compact objects and the main galaxy. Analysis of these observations confirms the redshift previously known for three of the objects (z=0.1239 for the main galaxy, and z=0.1935 and 0.1939 for two of the compact objects). We have also determined the previously unknown redshift of the third compact object as z=0.2229. Using the relative strength and width of the main spectral lines, we have classified the compact objects as two HII galaxies and one QSO (the object at z=0.1935). With cross-correlation techniques, we have tentatively estimated the redshift of the filament as z=0.19 (although a weaker component also appears at z=0.12) so that it is probably associated with the halo of the two compact objects at this redshift. The two objects at redshift ~0.19 represent possibly one of the more clear examples of starburst (and perhaps QSO activity) driven by interaction. These, and the relation between these two objects and the other two at (~0.12 and ~0.22) make the nature of this system intriguing, being difficult to explain the whole association on conventional scenarios.

description: A non perturbative method to compute the mass of the b quark including the 1/m term in HQET has been presented in a companion talk. Following this strategy, we find in the MS bar scheme m_b^{stat}(m_b) = 4.350(64) GeV for the leading term, and m_b^{(1)}(m_b) = -0.049(29) GeV for the next to leading order correction. This method involves several steps, including the simulation of the relativistic theory in a small volume, and of the effective theory in a big volume. Here we present some numerical details of our calculations.

description: The magnetic breakout model, in which reconnection in the corona leads to destabilization of a filament channel, explains numerous features of eruptive solar events, from small-scale jets to global-scale coronal mass ejections (CMEs). The underlying multipolar topology, pre-eruption activities, and sequence of magnetic-reconnection onsets (first breakout, then flare) of many observed fast CMEs/eruptive flares are fully consistent with the model. Recently, we demonstrated that most observed coronal-hole jets in fan/spine topologies also are induced by breakout reconnection at the null point above a filament channel (with or without a filament). For these two types of eruptions occurring in similar topologies, the key question is, why do some events generate jets while others form CMEs? We focused on the initiation of eruptions in large bright points/small active regions that were located in coronal holes and clearly exhibited null-point (fan/spine) topologies: such configurations are referred to as pseudostreamers. We analyzed and compared Solar Dynamics Observatory/Atmospheric Imaging Assembly, Solar and Heliospheric Observatory/Large Angle and Spectrometric Coronagraph Experiment, and Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager observations of three events. Our analysis of the events revealed two new observable signatures of breakout reconnection prior to the explosive jet/CME outflows and flare onset: coronal dimming and the opening up of field lines above the breakout current sheet. Most key properties were similar among the selected erupting structures, thereby eliminating region size, photospheric field strength, magnetic configuration, and pre-eruptive evolution as discriminating factors between jets and CMEs. We consider the factors that contribute to the different types of dynamic behavior, and conclude that the main determining factor is the ratio of the magnetic free energy associated with the filament channel compared to the energy associated with the overlying flux inside and outside the pseudostreamer dome.

description: Cattle breeding and mainly cattle for fattening is significantly affected by the development of social, economic, structural and other changes. Among negative results of this development are serious reductions in milk consumption and the number of cattle, with the adverse effect on usage of soil and permanent grasslands, as well as on the employment in the agrarian sector. Considering the production and out-of-production functions performed by the breeding of cattle, it is necessary to achieve its stability in all categories, to increase domestic milk and beef consumption, and to improve production and reproduction indexes, which have a serious impact on production economy and thus on competitivness in relation to cattle meat producers in the EU. From the short-term aspect it is possible to solve beef shortage by importing slaughter cattle with a lower carcass weight. However, this alternative can only be considered in case that a sufficient number of slaughter animals is available. A serious decline in the number of slaughter cattle can influence in the future the foreign trade with this commodity and a total increase in passive balance in a similar way to slaughter pigs where the import of 60 ths. tons of pork is expected along with a growth in grain export. From the above it follows that the export of basic agricultural stock is increasing and more value-added products are being imported, which can be considered to be a very unfavourable state in terms of the present development of the Slovak agriculture.
