description: We present JHKs photometry, far red spectra, and spectral classifications for an additional 67 L dwarfs discovered by the Two Micron All Sky Survey. One of the goals of this new search was to locate more examples of the latest L dwarfs. Of the 67 new discoveries, 17 have types of L6 or later. Analysis of these new discoveries shows that H-alpha emission has yet to be convincingly detected in any L dwarf later than type L4.5, indicating a decline or absence of chromospheric activity in the latest L dwarfs. Further analysis shows that 16 (and possibly 4 more) of the new L dwarfs are lithium brown dwarfs and that the average line strength for those L dwarfs showing lithium increases until roughly type L6.5 V then declines for later types. This disappearance may be the first sign of depletion of atomic lithium as it begins to form into lithium-bearing molecules. Another goal of the search was to locate nearer, brighter L dwarfs of all subtypes. Using absolute magnitudes for 17 L dwarf systems with trigonometric parallax measurements, we develop spectrophotometric relations to estimate distances to the other L dwarfs. Of the 67 new discoveries, 21 have photometric distances placing them within 25 parsecs of the Sun. A table of all known L and T dwarfs believed to lie within 25 parsecs - 53 in total - is also presented. Using the distance measurement of the coolest L dwarf known, we calculate that the gap in temperature between L8 and the warmest known T dwarfs is less than 350K and probably much less. If the transition region between the two classes spans a very small temperature interval, this would explain why no transition objects have yet been uncovered. This evidence, combined with model fits to low-resolution spectra of late-M and early-L dwarfs, indicates that L dwarfs span the range 1300K < Teff < 2000K.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: Traditionally, evaluation of intersection safety has been largely reactive, based on historical crash frequency data. However, the emerging data from Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs) can complement historical data and help in proactively identify intersections which have high levels of variability in instantaneous driving behaviors prior to the occurrence of crashes. Based on data from Safety Pilot Model Deployment in Ann Arbor, Michigan, this study developed a unique database that integrates intersection crash and inventory data with more than 65 million real-world Basic Safety Messages logged by 3,000 connected vehicles, providing a more complete picture of operations and safety performance of intersections. As a proactive safety measure and a leading indicator of safety, this study introduces location-based volatility (LBV), which quantifies variability in instantaneous driving decisions at intersections. LBV represents the driving performance of connected vehicle drivers traveling through a specific intersection. As such, by using coefficient of variation as a standardized measure of relative dispersion, LBVs are calculated for 116 intersections in Ann Arbor. To quantify relationships between intersection-specific volatilities and crash frequencies, rigorous fixed- and random-parameter Poisson regression models are estimated. While controlling for exposure related factors, the results provide evidence of statistically significant (5% level) positive association between intersection-specific volatility and crash frequencies for signalized intersections. The implications of the findings for proactive intersection safety management are discussed in the paper.

description: Neutral pion and $η$ meson invariant differential yields were measured in non-single diffractive p-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}} = 5.02$ TeV with the ALICE experiment at the CERN LHC. The analysis combines results from three complementary photon measurements, utilizing the PHOS and EMCal calorimeters and the Photon Conversion Method. The invariant differential yields of $π^0$ and $η$ meson inclusive production are measured near mid-rapidity in a broad transverse momentum range of $0.3 4$ GeV/$c$ at $0.483\pm 0.015_{\rm stat}\pm 0.015_{\rm sys}$. A deviation from $m_{\rm T}$ scaling is observed for $p_{\rm T}<2$ GeV/$c$. The measured $η$/$π^{0}$ ratio is consistent with previous measurements from proton-nucleus and pp collisions over the full $p_{\rm T}$ range. The measured $η$/$π^{0}$ ratio at high $p_{\rm T}$ also agrees within uncertainties with measurements from nucleus-nucleus collisions. The $π^0$ and $η$ yields in p-Pb relative to the scaled pp interpolated reference, $R_{\rm pPb}$, are presented for $0.3

description: Microbial ecosystems are remarkably diverse, stable, and often consist of a balanced mixture of core and peripheral species. Here we propose a conceptual model exhibiting all these emergent properties in quantitative agreement with real ecosystem data, specifically species' abundance and prevalence distributions. Resource competition and metabolic commensalism drive stochastic ecosystem assembly in our model. We demonstrate that even when supplied with just one resource, ecosystems can exhibit high diversity, increasing stability, and partial reproducibility between samples.

description: There is a long-standing and rarely contested view that Gricean conversational reasoning—the kind of reasoning that supports the identification of conversational implicatures—cannot produce pragmatically generated modification of the contents of embedded clauses. The goal of this paper is to argue against this view: to argue that embedded pragmatic effects can be seen as continuous with ordinary, utterance-level, conversational implicature. I will further suggest, though, that embedded pragmatic effects do force on us a particular conception of semantics. Specifically, I will argue that an adequate account of the data requires a semantic framework that posits structured contents.

description: With reduced dimensionality, it is often easier to modify the properties of ultra-thin films than their bulk counterparts. Strain engineering, usually achieved by choosing appropriate substrates, has been proven effective in controlling the properties of perovskite oxide films. An emerging alternative route for developing new multifunctional perovskite is by modification of the oxygen octahedral structure. Here we report the control of structural oxygen octahedral rotation in ultra-thin perovskite SrRuO3 films by the deposition of a SrTiO3 capping layer, which can be lithographically patterned to achieve local control. Using a scanning Sagnac magnetic microscope, we show increase in the Curie temperature of SrRuO3 due to the suppression octahedral rotations revealed by the synchrotron x-ray diffraction. This capping-layer-based technique may open new possibilities for developing functional oxide materials.

description: Pressure-induced structural phase transition and elastic property of InN1−xBix were investigated by using first-principles calculations. All the structural parameters of InN1−
xBix almost exhibit a monotonic decrease with an increasing pressure, except for InN0.9062Bi0.0938. Phase transition pressures from wurtzite (WZ) to rock-salt (RS) are about 11.9, 10.9 and 11.7 GPa for InN, InN0.9687Bi0.0313, and InN0.9062Bi0.0938, respectively. Zinc-blende (ZB) structure is a more stable phase for InN0.9375Bi0.0625 alloy under the general environment and transforms to RS structure when pressure is at 14.7 GPa. Elastic constants C11 and C33 increase with the increase of pressure for three different phases. C12 and C13 also change in WZ and ZB phases while keeping unchanged in RS phase with the increase of pressure, and C44 also has the same trend as C12 and C13 have in RS structures. Our calculations present an investigation of the overall elastic properties of pressure-induced InN1−
xBix alloy.

In the present work, we study an effective model using the fluctuation-exchange (FLEX) approximation based on the results of first-principles calculation. In the obtained phase diagram, the superconductivity with $d_{xy}$-like symmetry is realized next to the antiferromagnetic phase, as a result of the one-dimensional to two-dimensional crossover driven by the pressure.

Conversion Law of Infrared Luminosity to Star Formation Rate for Galaxies

description: We construct a new algorithm for estimating the star formation rate (SFR) of galaxies from their infrared (IR) luminosity by developing the theory of the IR emission from a dusty H II region. The derived formula is ${\rm SFR}/(\MO {\rm yr^{-1}})=\{3.3\times 10^{-10}(1-η)/ (0.4-0.2f+0.6 ε)\}(L{\rm ^{obs}_{IR}}/\LO)$, where $f$ is the fraction of ionizing photons absorbed by hydrogen, $ε$ is the efficiency of dust absorption for nonionizing photons from OB stars, and $η$ is the cirrus fraction of observed IR luminosity. The previous conversion formulae of SFR from the IR luminosity is applicable to only the case where the observed IR luminosity is nearly equal to the bolometric luminosity (starburst galaxies etc.), except for some empirical formulae. On the other hand, our theoretical SFR is applicable to galaxies even with a moderate star formation activity. That is, our simple and convenient formula is significantly useful for estimating the SFR of various morphologies and types of galaxies --- from early elliptical to late spiral and irregular galaxies, or from active starburst to quiescent galaxies --- as far as they have neither an abnormal dust-to-gas ratio nor an evident active galactic nucleus.

description: This paper studies multiplicative inflation: the complementary scaling of the state covariance in the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF). Firstly, error sources in the EnKF are catalogued and discussed in relation to inflation; nonlinearity is given particular attention as a source of sampling error. In response, the "finite-size" refinement known as the EnKF-N is re-derived via a Gaussian scale mixture, again demonstrating how it yields adaptive inflation. Existing methods for adaptive inflation estimation are reviewed, and several insights are gained from a comparative analysis. One such adaptive inflation method is selected to complement the EnKF-N to make a hybrid that is suitable for contexts where model error is present and imperfectly parameterized. Benchmarks are obtained from experiments with the two-scale Lorenz model and its slow-scale truncation. The proposed hybrid EnKF-N method of adaptive inflation is found to yield systematic accuracy improvements in comparison with the existing methods, albeit to a moderate degree.

description: The loss of orbital energy and angular momentum to gravitational waves produced in a binary inspiral forces the orbital eccentricity to adiabatically evolve and oscillate. For comparable-mass binaries, the osculating eccentricity is thought to decrease monotonically in the inspiral. Contrary to this, we here show that, once the osculating eccentricity is small enough, radiation reaction forces it to grow secularly before the binary reaches the last stable orbit. We explore this behavior, its physical interpretation and consequences, and its potential impact on future gravitational wave observations.

Bare vs effective pairing forces. A microscopic finite-range interaction for HFB calculations in coordinate space
Creators: name: Duguet, T.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We propose a microscopic effective interaction to treat pairing correlations in the $^{1}S_0$ channel. It is introduced by recasting the gap equation written in terms of the bare force into a fully equivalent pairing problem. Within this approach, the proposed interaction reproduces the pairing properties provided by the realistic $AV18$ force very accurately. Written in the canonical basis of the actual Bogolyubov transformation, the force takes the form of an off-shell in-medium two-body matrix in the superfluid phase multiplied by a BCS occupation number $2 ρ_{m}$. This interaction is finite ranged, non local, total-momentum dependent and density dependent. The factor $2 ρ_{m}$ emerging from the recast of the gap equation provides a natural cut-off and makes zero-range approximations of the effective vertex meaningful. Performing such an approximation, the roles of the range and of the density dependence of the interaction can be disentangled. The isoscalar and isovector density-dependences derived ab-initio provide the pairing force with a strong predictive power when extrapolated toward the drip-lines. Although finite ranged and non local, the proposed interaction makes HFB calculations of finite nuclei in coordinate space tractable. Through the two-basis method, its computational cost is of the same order as for a zero-range force.

description: Most learning models assume, either implicitly or explicitly, that the goal of learning is to acquire a complete and veridical representation of the world, but this view assumes away the possibility that pragmatic goals can play a central role in learning. We propose instead that people are relatively frugal learners, acquiring goal-relevant information while ignoring goal-irrelevant features of the environment. Experiment 1 provides evidence that learning is goal-dependent, and that people are relatively (but not absolutely) frugal when given a specific, practical goal. Experiment 2 investigates possible mechanisms underlying this effect, and finds evidence that people exhibit goal-driven attention allocation, but not goaldriven reasoning. We conclude by examining how frugality can be integrated into Bayesian models of learning.

description: Traffic congestion is one of the major issues in urban areas, particularly when traffic loads exceed the roads capacity, resulting in higher petrol consumption and carbon emissions as well as delays and stress for road users. In Asia, the traffic situation can be further deteriorated by road sharing of scooters. How to control the traffic flow to mitigate the congestion has been one of the central issues in transportation research. In this study, we employ a quantum annealing approach to optimize the traffic signals control at a real-life intersection with mixed traffic flows of vehicles and scooters. Considering traffic flow is a continuous and emerging phenomenon, we used quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) formalism for traffic optimization, which has a natural equivalence to the Ising model and can be solved efficiently on the quantum annealers, quantum computers or digital annealers. In this article, we first applied the QUBO traffic optimization to artificially generated traffic for a simple intersection, and then we used real-time traffic data to simulate a real Dongda-Keyuan intersection with dedicated cars and scooter lanes, as well as mixed scooter and car lanes. We introduced two types of traffic light control systems for traffic optimization C-QUBO and QUBO. Our rigorous QUBO optimizations show that C-QUBO and QUBO outperform the commonly used fixed cycle method, with QUBO outperforming C-QUBO in some instances. It has been found that QUBO optimization significantly relieves traffic congestion for the unbalanced traffic volume. Furthermore, we found that dynamic changes in traffic light signal duration greatly reduce traffic congestion.

description: We propose the concept of "hybridization-switching induced Mott transition" which is relevant to a broad class of ABO$_3$ perovskite materials including BiNiO$_3$ and PbCrO$_3$ which feature extended $6s$ orbitals on the A-site cation (Bi or Pb), and A-O covalency induced ligand holes. Using {\it ab initio} electronic structure and slave rotor theory calculations, we show that such systems exhibit a breathing phonon driven A-site to oxygen hybridization-wave instability which conspires with strong correlations on the B-site transition metal ion (Ni or Cr) to induce a Mott insulator. These Mott insulators with active A-site orbitals are shown to undergo a pressure induced insulator to metal transition accompanied by a colossal volume collapse due to ligand hybridization switching.

description: Festuca valesiaca Schleich. ex Gaudin subsp. valesiaca is acknowledged as one of the most characteristic grasses of the continental grasslands and steppes of Eurasia. In Italy, the species was known almost only from the continental valleys of the Alpine chain (with the exception of two small populations at the northernmost edge of the Apennines). Here, we report on the first confirmed finding of F. valesiaca subsp. valesiaca in the surroundings of the Fucino Basin, Central Apennines. This finding expands by c. 400 km southwards the species’ range in Italy. The identity of the species was first ascertained by means of leaf cross-sections and stomata measurements, and then confirmed by chromosome count. Its habitat preferences within the area were found to match well with those described in the literature for C-Europe. After discussing some identification issues and the population’s ecological niche, we present the main biogeographic implications of our finding. By recalling and discussing similar examples, we conclude that during the Holocene forest spread some Apennine “dry valleys” performed as refugia for a number of Pleistocene steppic taxa. The grasslands of these areas may thus be ancient and valuable ecosystems maintained by climate and disturbance throughout the Holocene.

description: The breadth of an animals’ ecological niche is circumscribed by its morphology, performance, and behavior, 3 factors that can ultimately affect fitness. We investigated potential behavioral and performance adaptations to roost making, a life-history trait associated with high fitness in the insectivorous bat Lophostoma silvicolum. Males of this species use their teeth to excavate roosts in active termite nests, which we found to be much harder than the hardest prey in the bats’ diet (beetles). We compared roost making and feeding behavior in L. silvicolum. We also compared the feeding behavior of L. silvicolum to that of 2 similar species that do not excavate roosts. All 3 species predominantly used bilateral bites centered on the premolar and molar teeth to eat beetles. In contrast, L. silvicolum used mainly bilateral bites involving the incisors and canines for roost excavation. All species generated similar bite forces during biting behaviors associated with feeding, but L. silvicolum generated significantly higher bite forces during biting behaviors used for roost excavation. We found no difference in canine tooth wear between the sexes, but tooth wear was significantly higher in an ecologically similar species that does not excavate roosts. We conclude that the behavior, performance, and possibly morphology of L. silvicolum represent adaptations to roost excavation.

description: The canonical thermodynamic properties of a one-dimensional system of interacting spin-1/2 fermions with an attractive zero-range pseudo-potential are investigated within an exact approach. The density operator is evaluated as the statistical average of dyadics formed from a stochastic mean-field propagation of independent Slater determinants. For an harmonically trapped Fermi gas and for fermions confined in a 1D-like torus, we observe the transition to a quasi-BCS state with Cooper-like momentum correlations and an algebraic long-range order. For few trapped fermions in a rotating torus, a dominant superfluid component with quantized circulation can be isolated.

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The increase in mass of our observed expansive and isotropic relativistic Universe in the present relativistic cosmology is explained by the extensive assumption of the matter objects emerging on the horizon (of the most remote visibility). However, the physical analysis unambiguously shows that this assumption contradicts the theory of relativity, quantum mechanics, classical mechanics and observations.

description: We propose a simple experimental technique to separately map the emission from electric and magnetic dipole transitions close to single dielectric nanostructures, using a few nanometer thin film of rare-earth ion doped clusters. Rare-earth ions provide electric and magnetic dipole transitions of similar magnitude. By recording the photoluminescence from the deposited layer excited by a focused laser beam, we are able to simultaneously map the electric and magnetic emission enhancement on individual nanostructures. In spite of being a diffraction-limited far-field method with a spatial resolution of a few hundred nanometers, our approach appeals by its simplicity and high signal-to-noise ratio. We demonstrate our technique at the example of single silicon nanorods and dimers, in which we find a significant separation of electric and magnetic near-field contributions. Our method paves the way towards the efficient and rapid characterization of the electric and magnetic optical response of complex photonic nanostructures.

description: Risk stratification (characterization) of tumors from radiology images can be more accurate and faster with computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) tools. Tumor characterization through such tools can also enable non-invasive cancer staging, prognosis, and foster personalized treatment planning as a part of precision medicine. In this study, we propose both supervised and unsupervised machine learning strategies to improve tumor characterization. Our first approach is based on supervised learning for which we demonstrate significant gains with deep learning algorithms, particularly by utilizing a 3D Convolutional Neural Network and Transfer Learning. Motivated by the radiologists' interpretations of the scans, we then show how to incorporate task dependent feature representations into a CAD system via a graph-regularized sparse Multi-Task Learning (MTL) framework. In the second approach, we explore an unsupervised learning algorithm to address the limited availability of labeled training data, a common problem in medical imaging applications. Inspired by learning from label proportion (LLP) approaches in computer vision, we propose to use proportion-SVM for characterizing tumors. We also seek the answer to the fundamental question about the goodness of "deep features" for unsupervised tumor classification. We evaluate our proposed supervised and unsupervised learning algorithms on two different tumor diagnosis challenges: lung and pancreas with 1018 CT and 171 MRI scans, respectively, and obtain the state-of-the-art sensitivity and specificity results in both problems.

The transformation coefficients from the independent helicity amplitudes to the invariant functions are calculated. The explicit expressions for invariant functions have been obtained with the subject to the contribution of Born diagrams in s-, u-, and t-channel and six resonances in s- and u-channel. It has been shown that the obtained invariant functions meet the requirements of crossing-symmetry.

description: Feature screening plays an important role in the analysis of ultrahigh dimensional data. Due to complicated model structure and high noise level, existing screening methods often suffer from model misspecification and the presence of outliers. To address these issues, we introduce a new metric named cumulative divergence (CD), and develop a CD-based forward screening procedure. This forward screening method is model-free and resistant to the presence of outliers in the response. It also incorporates the joint effects among covariates into the screening process. With a data-driven threshold, the new method can automatically determine the number of features that should be retained after screening. These merits make the CD-based screening very appealing in practice. Under certain regularity conditions, we show that the proposed method possesses sure screening property. The performance of our proposal is illustrated through simulations and a real data example. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.

description: The mechanism of color confinement as a consequence of an unbroken non-abelian gauge symmetry and asymptotic freedom is elucidated and compared with that of other models based on an analogy with the type II superconductor. It is demonstrated that a sufficient condition for color confinement is given by $Z_3^{-1}=0$ where $Z_3$ denotes the renormalization constant of the color gauge field. It is shown that this condition is actually satisfied in quantum chromodynamics and that some of the characteristic features of other models follow from it.

description: To illuminate the interactions in N-[(2-hydroxyl)-propyl-3-trimethyl ammonium] chitosan chloride (HTCC)/sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) based films, the film-forming solutions were studied by rheology, and HTCC/CMC based films were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. The HTCC/CMC based film-forming solutions with glycerol (polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and anthocyanin) showed shear-thinning behavior. The apparent viscosity of the HTCC/CMC/glycerol (PVA and anthocyanin) film-forming solutions decreased slower than that of HTCC/CMC film-forming solution, due to the electrostatic interaction between HTCC and CMC, and hydrogen bonding interaction between the two biomacromolecules and glycerol, PVA and anthocyanin, which resulted in the formation of three-dimensional networks. The anthocyanin with rigid molecular structure formed different three-dimensional matrix with HTCC/CMC, resulted in viscosity dominated film-forming solution. The pH affected the electrostatic interaction between HTCC, CMC, and anthocyanin through neutralizing –COO− groups, and temperature showed a synergistic effect on both electrostatic interaction and hydrogen bonding. The inter-molecular interactions resulted in the red-shift of typical absorption peaks, and the increase of initial decomposition temperature and decomposition enthalpy of HTCC/CMC based films. The homogenous and smooth surface, and the compact texture of HTCC/CMC based films confirmed the intermolecular interaction between HTCC, CMC, and PVA (glycerol and anthocyanin). Interactions in N-[(2-hydroxyl)-propyl-3-trimethyl ammonium] chitosan chloride and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose based films The HTCC/CMC/glycerol (PVA, anthocyanin) blend solutions show shear-thinning behavior, and the strong interaction between the molecules resists the decrease of viscosity.
