description: Alan Granville Towler, the son of Alfred and Dorothy Eleanor Towler of Slindon Common, Sussex, lived in Barnet, North London, and was educated at Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School, Barnet. Upon leaving school, he went to work in the Ministry of Transport. He enlisted in the Royal Engineers and later joined the Royal Artillery, where he was initially posted on home duty. Finding this boring, he sought more excitement and volunteered for airborne forces.Corporal Towler served with the 3rd Battalion, the Parachute Regiment. He undertook parachute training on No. 34 Training Course at RAF Ringway, which ran from 22 to 27 October 1942. After this course, he would have been issued with his GQ parachute wings.Corporal Towler was killed in action on 28 February 1943 while serving in Tunisia as part of Operation Torch. He was originally buried in Souk-El-Khemis Military Cemetery and was re-interred to Medjez-El-Bab War Cemetery on 10 July 1944. Corporal Towler is also commemorated on The Barnet War Memorial and The Queen Elizabeth Grammar School's Roll of Honour.

description: Considerando a limitação do repertório para iniciantes em métodos e álbuns de repertório no Brasil, o diagnóstico de dificuldades específicas sem justificativas biomecânicas ou cognitivas, a importância do repertório contemporâneo para flauta doce e flauta transversa, os trabalhos, métodos e álbuns com repertório variado para iniciantes e o contexto histórico de colaborações entre compositores e intérpretes em Porto Alegre, convidei compositores para escrever peças para flauta doce ou transversa a partir de uma lista de ideias e sugestões, trabalhei as peças em sala de aula, registrei minhas observações sobre o processo em diários, apresentamos as peças publicamente e as publiquei em caderno de partituras chamado Novas músicas para novos flautistas. Oito compositores escreveram trinta e seis peças. São contribuições para o repertório pela qualidade musical. Diferem em estilo, duração, construção formal, instrumentação, técnicas e conceitos explorados. O trabalho em aula revelou amplas possibilidades de usos didáticos, que incluem e extrapolam os objetivos que inspiraram a lista de sugestões. Incluem aspectos técnicos, conceitos teóricos, elementos de notação, desenvolvimento de estratégias de estudo, discussões estéticas e performance de repertório desde o início do estudo do instrumento. Os alunos demonstraram grande engajamento com o repertório: empenho em aprender e tocar, interesse, curiosidade, sentimento de valorização, construção de relações estilísticas e julgamentos estéticos. O excelente resultado pedagógico e artístico da experiência convida a repensar padrões e estereótipos de repertório infantil.

description: We derive the pair-production probability in a constant electric field in Rindler coordinates in a quasi-classical approximation. Our result is different from the pair-production probability in an inertial frame (Schwinger formula). In particular, it exhibits non-trivial dependence on rapidity and deviation from Gaussian behavior at small transverse momenta. Our results can be important for analysis of particle production in heavy-ion collisions.

description: The space mission STEREO will provide images from two viewpoints. An important aim of the STEREO mission is to get a 3D view of the solar corona. We develop a program for the stereoscopic reconstruction of 3D coronal loops from images taken with the two STEREO spacecraft. A pure geometric triangulation of coronal features leads to ambiguities because the dilute plasma emissions complicates the association of features in image 1 with features in image 2. As a consequence of these problems the stereoscopic reconstruction is not unique and multiple solutions occur. We demonstrate how these ambiguities can be resolved with the help of different coronal magnetic field models (potential, linear and non-linear force-free fields). The idea is that, due to the high conductivity in the coronal plasma, the emitting plasma outlines the magnetic field lines. Consequently the 3D coronal magnetic field provides a proxy for the stereoscopy which allows to eliminate inconsistent configurations. The combination of stereoscopy and magnetic modelling is more powerful than one of these tools alone. We test our method with the help of a model active region and plan to apply it to the solar case as soon as STEREO data become available.

description: In this paper, we make the case that ICT projects in the developed and developing world often lead to partial or total failures due to the incomplete assessment of the problem being solved and the metrics used to evaluate solutions. While in the developed world the success of ICT solutions are often determined by the market, with available infrastructure and market mechanisms, in the developing world this ecosystem does not exist thus requiring an understanding of the ecosystem in which ICT solutions are to be applied. Using literature from the design space, and experiences in ICT for development, we elaborate the dimensions of design such as incorporation of stakeholders, incentive structures, and design participation that are critical to successful deployment. We examine some successes and failures in product/solution development in the ICT area to identify the dimensions of good design incorporated by these products and services. With the perspective that ICT for sustainable development issues are ill-structured and "wicked problems" that have to incorporate all the defined dimensions of design, we propose a model of product and service identification and development that is based on insights from asynchronous computational agent problem solving. We claim that new methods such as the one proposed need to be identified, developed and tested for their effectiveness in the development of products and services that satisfy the needs of human development

description: We study the deep inelastic process $ν_τ + {\cal N} \to τ^{-} + X$ (with ${\cal N} \equiv (n+p)/2$ an isoscalar nucleon), in the context of the two Higgs doublet model {\it type two} (2HDM(II)). In particular, we discuss the contribution to the total cross section of diagrams, in which a charged Higgs boson is exchanged. We show that for large values of $\tanβ$ such contribution for an inclusive dispersion generated through the collision of an ultrahigh energy tau-neutrino on a target nucleon can reach up to 57% of the value of the contribution of the $W^+$ exchange diagrams (i.e. can reach up to 57% of the standard model (SM) prediction) and could permit to distinguish between the SM and the 2HDM(II) predictions at the Pierre Auger Observatory.

description: In this article we study the transfer learning model of action advice under a budget. We focus on reinforcement learning teachers providing action advice to heterogeneous students playing the game of Pac-Man under a limited advice budget. First, we examine several critical factors affecting advice quality in this setting, such as the average performance of the teacher, its variance and the importance of reward discounting in advising. The experiments show the non-trivial importance of the coefficient of variation (CV) as a statistic for choosing policies that generate advice. The CV statistic relates variance to the corresponding mean. Second, the article studies policy learning for distributing advice under a budget. Whereas most methods in the relevant literature rely on heuristics for advice distribution we formulate the problem as a learning one and propose a novel RL algorithm capable of learning when to advise, adapting to the student and the task at hand. Furthermore, we argue that learning to advise under a budget is an instance of a more generic learning problem: Constrained Exploitation Reinforcement Learning.

I wasn't born until after the war, my father was away with the RNVR in Africa. My mother told me that she and her mother had gone to their local cinema to watch 'The Great Dictator (I don't have the date but someone might be able to work this out). The sirens warned of a German air raid but nobody left the cinema - they were enjoying the movie too much. This is a small confirmation of the guts and determination of the British during the war.

We compare full 3+1 and conformally-flat spacetime evolution methods and find that the conformally-flat treatment is sufficiently accurate for the core-collapse supernova problem. We focus on the gravitational wave (GW) emission from rotating collapse, core bounce, and early postbounce phases. Our results indicate that the GW signature of these phases is much more generic than previously estimated. In addition, we track the growth of a nonaxisymmetric instability of dominant m = 1 character in two of our models that leads to prolonged narrow-band GW emission at ~ 920-930 Hz over several tens of milliseconds.

Entanglement scaling at first order phase transitions

description: First order quantum phase transitions (1QPTs) are signaled, in the thermodynamic limit, by discontinuous changes in the ground state properties. These discontinuities affect expectation values of observables, including spatial correlations. When a 1QPT is crossed in the vicinity of a second order one (2QPT), due to the correlation length divergence of the latter, the corresponding ground state is modified and it becomes increasingly difficult to determine the order of the transition when the size of the system is finite. Here we show that, in such situations, it is possible to apply finite size scaling to entanglement measures, as it has recently been done for the order parameters and the energy gap, in order to recover the correct thermodynamic limit. Such a finite size scaling can unambigously discriminate between first and second order phase transitions in the vicinity of multricritical points even when the singularities displayed by entanglement measures lead to controversial results.

description: Recently H. Wang et al. (arXiv 1704.00995) have reported quantum oscillation in magnetoresistance with the periodicity in logarithmic of magnetic field (B) for the p-type ZrTe5. They have ascribed this type of behavior to the discrete scale invariance, resulting from Effimov bound states. We have prepared high quality stoichiometric (p-type) ZrTe5 polycrystals and observed magnetoresistance (MR) oscillations, which are periodic in B. These oscillations are in contrast to usual SdH oscillations or log B dependent oscillations as observed for tellurium deficient and stoichiometric ZrTe5 respectively. The MR follows the three dimensional Weyl semimetal like behavior, and Kohler's rule is obeyed at low temperatures. We obtained small cyclotron effective mass (m* = 0.05 m_e), very high mobility of 2.2 X 10^4 cm^2/V.s and the signature of topological protected surface states in the compound. The magnetic data shows zero cusp paramagnetic susceptibility which supports the existence of topological surface states in ZrTe5.

description: We derive model-independent constraints on chirality-changing terms in the muon decay Lagrangian using limits on neutrino mass. We consider all dimension-six operators invariant under the gauge symmetry of the Standard Model which contribute to either a Dirac neutrino mass or muon decay. Taking an upper limit on neutrino mass of 1 eV, we derive limits on the contributions of chirality-changing operators to the Michel parameters four orders of magnitude tighter than the current experimental constraints. We also identify two operators which, due to their flavor structure, are not constrained by neutrino mass. If near-future experiments find contributions to muon decay from these operators, it could indicate interesting flavor structure in physics beyond the SM.

description: We model the Internet as a collection of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) that transit and peer to meet an exogenous demand for the transport of IP traffic among an arbitrary set of cities. The prices of bandwidth and of transit are also exogenous. ISPs are assumed to behave rationally and selfishly and therefore they provision the network that maximizes their own profit regardless of how expensive the overall network becomes. We call optimal to a network that ISPs would build if they cooperated to reduce overall provisioning costs; and we call inefficiency cost the additional cost to provision a network at Nash equilibrium relative to the provisioning cost of an optimal network. We show that inefficiency cost is primarily related to transit agreements. In fact, in a world where only peering agreements exist there is no inefficiency cost. However, networks with only peering agreements forgo the efficiencies of traffic aggregation. Transit agreements help reduce provisioning costs by realizing benefits from economies of scale. We show, by example, that there exist Nash networks that are strictly more expensive than optimal networks even when ISPs choose transit prices and therefore the market to provision communication networks with interconnection agreements designed they way the are today is inefficient. We show that inefficiency cost may be reduced, for example, by enforcing side payments between ISPs. We conclude with an analysis of the difficulties a regulator would face in endeavoring to move a market from am inefficient Nash equilibrium to optimality.

We show that massive pe rturbers can play an important role in supplying both binaries and single stars to the vicinity of the MBH. We discuss possible implications for the ejection of high velocity stars; for the capture of stars on tight orbits around the MBH; for the emission of gravitational waves from low-eccentricity inspiraling stars; and for the origin of the young main sequence B stars observed very near the Gal actic MBH. Massive perturbers may also enhance the the growth rate of MBHs, and may accelerate the dynamical orbital decay of coalescing binary MBHs.

description: In this article, we calculate the vector form factors $f^+_{Kπ}(Q^2)$ and $f^-_{Kπ}(Q^2)$ within the framework of the light-cone QCD sum rules approach. The numerical values of the $f^+_{Kπ}(Q^2)$ are compatible with the existing theoretical calculations, the central value of the $f^+_{Kπ}(0)$, $f^+_{Kπ}(0)=0.97$, is in excellent agreement with the values from the chiral perturbation theory and lattice QCD. The values of the $|f^-_{Kπ}(0)|$ are very large comparing with the theoretical calculations and experimental data, and can not give any reliable predictions. At large momentum transfers with $Q^2> 5GeV^2$, the form factors $f^+_{Kπ}(Q^2)$ and $|f^-_{Kπ}(Q^2)|$ can either take up the asymptotic behavior of $\frac{1}{Q^2}$ or decrease more quickly than $\frac{1}{Q^2}$, more experimental data are needed to select the ideal sum rules.

Incremental Reform Towards a Broadcast Underlay, and the Radio Traffic Signal

description: Exclusive licensing with an underlay is an appropriate paradigm for TV and other broadcast applications. Although further research is required on the viability of the more sophisticated forms of opportunistic access to insure the protection of TV signals, there are ways that a secondary device could safely use a broadcast band today. Thus, the FCC could move incrementally forward, allowing the underlay with sharing techniques that are known to be safe. This submission also suggests that the FCC consider certifying radio traffic signals as a viable approach. Underlay applications should also be reconsidered. We are more likely to see wireless last-mile connections than Wifi-like applications emerge in a broadcast underlay.

description: The ever increasing demands for mobile network access have resulted in a significant increase in bandwidth usage. By improving the system spectral efficiency, multi-way relay networks (MWRNs) provide promising approaches to address this challenge. In this paper, we propose a novel linear beamforming design, namely partial zero-forcing (PZF), for MWRNs with a multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) relay. Compared to zero-forcing (ZF), PZF relaxes the constraints on the relay beamforming matrix such that only partial user-interference, instead of all, is canceled at the relay. The users eliminate the remaining interferences through self-interference and successive interference cancellation. A sum-rate maximization problem is formulated and solved to exploit the extra degrees-of-freedom resulted from PZF. Simulation results show that the proposed PZF relay beamforming design achieves significantly higher network sum-rates than the existing linear beamforming designs.

description: Knowledge regarding the coronal magnetic field is important for the understanding of many phenomena, like flares and coronal mass ejections. Because of the low plasma beta in the solar corona the coronal magnetic field is often assumed to be force-free and we use photospheric vector magnetograph data to extrapolate the magnetic field into the corona with the help of a non-linear force-free optimization code. Unfortunately the measurements of the photospheric magnetic field contain inconsistencies and noise. In particular the transversal components (say Bx and By) of current vector magnetographs have their uncertainties. Furthermore the magnetic field in the photosphere is not necessary force-free and often not consistent with the assumption of a force-free field above. We develop a preprocessing procedure to drive the observed non force-free data towards suitable boundary conditions for a force-free extrapolation. As a result we get a data set which is as close as possible to the measured data and consistent with the force-free assumption.

description: Observations of high-redshift supernovae indicate that the universe is accelerating at the present stage, and we refer to the cause for this cosmic acceleration as ``dark energy''. In particular, the analysis of current data of type Ia supernovae (SNIa), cosmic large-scale structure (LSS), and the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy implies that, with some possibility, the equation-of-state parameter of dark energy may cross the cosmological-constant boundary ($w=-1$) during the recent evolution stage. The model of ``quintom'' has been proposed to describe this $w=-1$ crossing behavior for dark energy. As a single-real-scalar-field model of dark energy, the generalized ghost condensate model provides us with a successful mechanism for realizing the quintom-like behavior. In this paper, we reconstruct the generalized ghost condensate model in the light of three forms of parametrization for dynamical dark energy, with the best-fit results of up-to-date observational data.

description: The numerical simulation of a Poiseuille flow in a narrow channel using the molecular dynamics simulation (MDS) is performed. Poiseuille flow of liquid Argon in a carbon nanochannel is simulated by embedding the fluid particles in a uniform force field. Density, velocity and Temperature profiles across the channel are investigated. When particles will be inserted into the flow, it is expected that the dynamics of flow will depend on the thermostat chosen. To obtain a more uniform temperature distribution across the channel we use local thermostating near the wall. The obtained results show that velocity profile, slip length and slip velocity depends on the driving force.

description: We study the charged Higgs effects on the decays of $B^{-} \to τ\barν_τ$ and $\bar B\to P(V) \ell \barν_{\ell}$ with $P=π^{+},D^{+}$ and $V=ρ^{+},D^{*+}$. We concentrate on the minimal supersymmetric standard model with nonholomorphic terms at a large $\tanβ$. To extract new physics contributions, we define several physical quantities related to the decay rate and angular distributions to reduce uncertainties from the QCD as well as the CKM elements. With the constraints from the recent measurement on the decay branching ratio of $B^{-} \to τ\barν_τ$, we find that the charged Higgs effects could be large and measurable.

Cancer phase I trial design using drug combinations when a fraction of dose limiting toxicities is attributable to one or more agents

description: Drug combination trials are increasingly common nowadays in clinical research. However, very few methods have been developed to consider toxicity attributions in the dose escalation process. We are motivated by a trial in which the clinician is able to identify certain toxicities that can be attributed to one of the agents. We present a Bayesian adaptive design in which toxicity attributions are modeled via Copula regression and the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) curve is estimated as a function of model parameters. The dose escalation algorithm uses cohorts of two patients, following the continual reassessment method (CRM) scheme, where at each stage of the trial, we search for the dose of one agent given the current dose of the other agent. The performance of the design is studied by evaluating its operating characteristics when the underlying model is either correctly specified or misspecified. We show that this method can be extended to accommodate discrete dose combinations.

description: We present evidence that importing is a source of international technology transfer. Using a detailed panel of Indonesian manufacturers, our analysis shows that firms in industries supplying increasingly import-intensive sectors have higher productivity growth than other firms. This finding suggests that linkages through vertical supply relationships are the channel through which import-driven technology transfer occurs. To our knowledge, these are the first firm-level results showing that downstream imports play a role in productivity gains. Together with the literature linking FDI and exporting to technology spillovers, the results provide a third component to the argument that trade and openness promote economic growth.

description: The availability of multi-wavelength high-quality data of gamma-ray burst afterglows in the Swift era, contrary to the expectations, did not allow us to fully confirm yet one of the most fundamental features of the standard afterglow picture: the presence of an achromatic break in the decaying light curve. We briefly review the most interesting cases identified so far.

description: We present real-time lattice simulations of Cold Electroweak Baryogenesis, in which the baryon asymmetry of the Universe is generated during tachyonic electroweak symmetry breaking at the end of inflation. In the minimal realisation of the model, only three parameters remain undetermined: the strength of CP-violation, the Higgs mass and the speed of the symmetry breaking quench. The dependence of the asymmetry on these parameters is studied.

Implications of changing natural gas prices in the United States electricity sector for SO2, NOX and life cycle GHG emissions

description: Projections of increased domestic natural gas supply and low prices have encouraged increased natural gas utilization in the United States electricity sector. Natural gas can offset coal, likely decreasing overall greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and other air emissions such as SO2 and NOX. Previous life cycle assessment (LCA) studies using limited system boundaries have attempted to quantify the benefit of offsetting coal use. However, these studies do not consider that relative regional fuel prices may contribute most to the choice of coal over natural gas. External incentives such as low natural gas prices compared to coal are required if natural gas is to displace coal. In this study, simplified economic dispatch models are used to determine how natural gas utilization will increase in the short-term in response to changes in natural gas prices in three US grid regions—ERCOT, MISO and PJM. The results indicate that the change in air emissions is lower than suggested by LCAs, since LCAs generally do not include the complexity of regional electricity grids. For instance, this study estimates that life cycle GHG emissions may, at best, decrease by 7–15% due to low natural gas prices, compared to almost 50% reductions estimated by previous LCAs.

description: We present Chandra and VLT observations of the X-Ray Flash XRF 040812. The X-ray analysis reveals with high precision the position of a hard, fading source. A careful analysis of our I-band VLT images taken starting 17 hours after the burst led to the discovery of the optical afterglow superimposed to a bright (I=21.5) host galaxy. The optical afterglow is seen decaying with an index of 1.1. We do not detect any jet break and supernova rebrightening in the optical light curve. The bright apparent luminosity of the host galaxy allows us to get a rough estimate of the redshift, comparing with a set of GRB/XRF host galaxies with known luminosity and redshift. Such comparison suggests a redshift of XRF 040812 in the range 0.3

Were most Low Mass X ray Binaries born in Globular Clusters?

description: We summarize the status of art of the secular evolution of low mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) and take a close look at the orbital period distribution of LMXBs and of binary millisecond pulsars (MSP), in the hypothesis that this latter results from the LMXB evolution. The deficiency of systems below the period gap, which in cataclysmic binaries occurs between ~ 2 and 3 hr, points to a very different secular evolution of LMXBs with respect to their counterparts containing a white dwarf compact object. The presence of several ultrashort period LMXBs (some of which are also X-ray millisecond pulsars), the important fraction of binary MSPs at periods between 0.1 and 1 day, the periods (26 and 32hr) of two ``interacting'' MSPs in Globular Clusters are other pieces of the puzzle in the period distribution. We consider the possible explanations for these peculiarities, and point out that Grindlay's old proposal that all (most of) LMXBs in the field were originally born in globular clusters must be carefully reconsidered.
