description: Controlling the expression levels of multiple recombinant proteins for optimal performance is crucial for synthetic biosystems but remains difficult given the large number of DNA-encoded factors that influence the process of gene expression from transcription to translation. In bacterial hosts, biosystems can be economically encoded as operons, but the sequence requirements for exact tuning of expression levels in an operon remain unclear. Here, we demonstrate the extent and predictability of protein-level variation using diverse arrangements of twelve genes to generate 88 synthetic operons with up to seven genes at varying inducer concentrations. The resulting 2772 protein expression measurements allowed the training of a sequence-based machine learning model that explains 83% of the variation in the data with a mean absolute error of 9% relative to reference constructs, making it a useful tool for protein expression prediction. Feature importance analysis indicates that operon length, gene position and gene junction structure are of major importance for protein expression.

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This paper describes a GIS-based software package that incorporates a genetic algorithm to optimize crops distribution across any region. Such optimization is powered by maps of where one finds the most suitable conditions for each crop, or each crops current local yields, market price, market demand or transport costs. Our programs output is the crops distribution which achieves maximum economic return, or minimal environmental damage, or optimal fit with either present- or post-climatic-change soil suitability or minimum transport cost. The package can be implemented within any region where the necessary input data exists in Ascii and image format, and it incorporates a number of features that make it transparent and flexible. Such user friendliness encourages even laypersons to experiment with the genetic algorithms parameters, almost as if they are playing a computer game, to see whether or not they can find an even more optimal crops distribution than they found previously. The package also functions as a useful exploratory tool for seeing how current patterns would have to be modified if a more optimal crops distribution were achieved, thereby generating decision support type insights into possible repercussions of tampering with the status quo. Our packages functionality will be demonstrated through a case study implementation within the agricultural region of South Gippsland, Australia.

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/.

description: In this study, conservative strategies are applied in order to limit any irreversible damage and to characterize and quantify microbial colonization that may induce the deterioration of constitutive heritage materials; subsequently, suitable antimicrobial interventions are performed based on the use of biotechnology. This paper presents a summary of the basic and applied biotechnology research developed in the Laboratory of Biology and Biotechnology for Cultural Heritage (LaBBCH, University of Palermo, Italy). It shows that biotechnology has an evidently important role in the preservation and restoration of cultural assets, also taking into consideration that “Prevention is better than cure”, a milestone in the field of human health that can be shifted and applied to the “cure and preservation” of cultural assets. Moreover, biotechnological tools offer great potential for application, thanks to the increasing interaction between the worlds of art and science, thus opening the way for advanced innovation in the conservation and restoration field of art works.

description: A single-crystal sheet of graphene is synthesized on the low-symmetry substrate Ir(110) by thermal decomposition of C$_2$H$_4$ at 1500 K. Using scanning tunneling microscopy, low-energy electron diffraction, angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, and ab initio density functional theory the structure and electronic properties of the adsorbed graphene sheet and its moiré with the substrate are uncovered. The adsorbed graphene layer forms a wave pattern of nm wave length with a corresponding modulation of its electronic properties. This wave pattern is demonstrated to enable the templated adsorption of aromatic molecules and the uniaxial growth of organometallic wires. Not limited to this, graphene on Ir(110) is also a versatile substrate for 2D-layer growth and makes it possible to grow epitaxial layers on ureconstructed Ir(110).

description: In 1897, the architect Ernesto Basile was commissioned to design the new Chamber in the Italian Parliament. Basile visualised a long painted frieze crowning the Chamber. The assignment was given to the painter Aristide Sartorio who executed it between 1908 and 1911. The frieze is 105 meters long, 3.75 high, and consists of 50 panels painted on canvas. In 1998 the frieze was examined closely and several problems regarding its state of conservation became evident, such as the loss of elasticity of the canvas and the widespread tendency of the paint film to become detached. In order to study the problem and plan the restoration for the entire frieze, it was decided to do a pilot restoration on only one of the 50 panels. The restoration was carried out in an equipped environment inside the Parliament, during the period 2003- 2004. Based on the studies carried out over the two years, it was possible to plan the restoration of the entire frieze, which was completed in one year: from 2006 to 2007. The panels were taken to a Roman studio exclusively dedicated to this restoration. It was not possible to do the restoration in situ as it would have created a disturbance in the working of the Parliament. The panels painted by Sartorio with a particular technique based on oil and wax, were treated with BEVA 371, reactivated with heat using a flat, low pressure table, and with a heated curved low pressure table specially designed by us. Using the same system and cloth bands, the edges of the panels were reinforced and then placed on their original frames. Finally, the veil of greasy particulate matter that had deposited over a century was removed. The restoration, directed by the Architectural Superintendency of Rome, was preceded and accompanied by numerous scientific research studies on the colors, canvas, color medium, wood and microclimate of the frieze. An extensive detailed color photographic documentation recorded all the phases of the restoration.

Due to the necessity of treatment being assessed for in situ application, it is important to select a safe and effective strategy approach that safeguards both the environment and human beings. In the past decade the most frequently used and effective biocides have been banned due to their environmental and health hazards. This paper reports the development of remediation actions based on environmentally innocuous alternatives derived from active compounds produced by Bacillus sp. in conjugation with natural plant products from Brazilian Cerrado plant extracts.

description: Purpose: We propose a model for estimating dosimetric uncertainties as a consequence of discrepancies in the Deformable Image Registration (DIR) process when accumulating dose for adaptive Pencil Beam Scanned (PBS) proton therapy. 

Methods: Three components are considered: (i) deformable vector fields (DVFs) derived from different DIR algorithms; (ii) a patient specific linear regression model of DVF uncertainty, and (iii) dose gradients from each fraction dose distribution. The model is constructed for the first fraction only, by correlating the magnitude of DVFs calculated with a reference algorithm (B-spline) to DVF uncertainty, quantified as the voxel-wise difference between the largest and smallest vector magnitudes of the different DVFs resulting from the different DIR algorithms. In subsequent fractions, only the reference (B-spline) DVF is applied, with dose uncertainties from its use being calculated by the multiplication of the model predicted DVF uncertainty with the dose gradients. For validation, adaptive PBS proton therapy plans were accumulated for seven lung cancer patients, for which nine repeated (fraction) CTs were available. As a ‘ground-truth’ (GT), each fraction specific dose distribution was warped back to the planning CT using the five different DIR algorithms, and the voxel-wise max-min dose uncertainty calculated. Voxel-wise max-min dose uncertainties were then calculated using the DVF uncertainty model and were compared to those from this GT scenario. 

Results: Mean differences between predicted and GT uncertainties were 2.3±6.0% over all seven patients (each with nine CTs and six structures). For all non-zero dose inside the body, uncertainty could be predicted to 2.5±8.0% of the GT uncertainty. 

Conclusion: We propose a method for estimating DIR induced uncertainties in dose accumulation for adapted PBS proton therapy, with predicted uncertainties being within 3% of the ground truth. The model will be further improved by including additional parameters such as DVF directional uncertainty and image feature information.

description: The competition and interplay between charge-density wave and superconductivity have become a central subject for quasi-2D compounds. Some of these materials, such as the transition-metal dichalcogenides, exhibit strong electron-phonon coupling, an interaction that may favor both phases, depending on the external parameters, such as hydrostatic pressure. In view of this, here we analyze the single-band $t$-$t^{\prime}$ Holstein model in the square lattice, adding a next-nearest neighbor hopping $t^{\prime}$ in order to play the role of the external pressure. To this end, we perform unbiased quantum Monte Carlo simulations with an efficient inversion sampling technique appropriately devised for this model. Such a methodology drastically reduces the autocorrelation time, and increases the efficiency of the Monte Carlo approach. By investigating the charge-charge correlation functions, we obtain the behavior of the critical temperature as a function of $t^{\prime}$, and from compressibility analysis, we show that a first-order metal-to-insulator phase transition occurs. We also provide a low-temperature phase diagram for the model.

Cosmology – cosmological parameters
Methods – topological data analysis

description: We demonstrate how to use persistent homology for cosmological parameter inference in a tomographic cosmic shear survey. We obtain the first cosmological parameter constraints from persistent homology by applying our method to the first-year data of the Dark Energy Survey. To obtain these constraints, we analyse the topological structure of the matter distribution by extracting persistence diagrams from signal-to-noise maps of aperture masses. This presents a natural extension to the widely used peak count statistics. Extracting the persistence diagrams from the cosmo-SLICS, a suite of $N$-body simulations with variable cosmological parameters, we interpolate the signal using Gaussian Processes and marginalise over the most relevant systematic effects, including intrinsic alignments and baryonic effects. We find for the structure growth parameter $S_8=0.747^{+0.025}_{-0.031}$, which is in full agreement with other late-time probes. We also constrain the intrinsic alignment parameter to $A=1.54\pm 0.52$, ruling out the case of no intrinsic alignments at a $3σ$-level.

description: We consider the response of an Unruh-DeWitt detector near an extremal charged black hole, modeling the near-horizon region of this extremal spacetime by the Bertotti-Robinson spacetime. The advantage of employing the Bertotti-Robinson limit is that the two-point functions for a massless scalar field are obtainable in closed form for the field in a number of quantum states of interest. We consider the detector coupled to a massless field in both the Boulware vacuum state and arbitrary thermal states, including the Hartle-Hawking state, and analyse the detector's response for a broad range of trajectories. Particular attention is paid to the thermalization of the detector, the anti-Unruh and anti-Hawking effect.

Applying an index of adaptive capacity to climate change in north-western Victoria, Australia
Creators: name: Sietchiping, Remy
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2016
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Climate change calls for strategic planning that builds resilience in vulnerable areas to manage the associated risks. This paper discusses how adaptive various communities and industries are to climate change in the North West of Victoria (also known as the Victorian wheatbelt), Australia. Indicators of adaptive ability for communities and industries, and the importance of key drivers like government policies, expert advice and empirical evidence of developing this capacity are identified. It also incorporates input from key regional groups as well as current knowledge on adaptability of regional communities to climate change across three major themes: socio-cultural, economic, institutional/infrastructure. Each of these major themes has associated indicators, which in turn have an individual suite of measures, albeit all contributing to the overall adaptive capacity and spatial variability of these capacities. A Geographic Information System is used to collect and analyse the data and spatially represent the indicators and indices. Workshop participants used their expert-judgment to assess and weight indicators, measures and themes. The stakeholders participatory assessment, the quantification of diversified data and interests and the importance of multiple policy outcomes make the findings locally relevant. We find that capacity and preparedness to adapt to climate change varies substantially across communities and different parts of the grains industry.

Embedding cyclic causal structures in acyclic spacetimes: no-go results for process matrices

description: Causality can be defined in terms of a space-time structure or based on information-theoretic structures, which correspond to very different notions of causation. When analysing physical experiments, these notions must be put together in a compatible manner. The process matrix framework describes quantum indefinite causal structures in the information-theoretic sense, but the physicality of such processes remains an open question. At the same time, there are several experiments in Minkowski spacetime (which implies a definite spacetime notion of causality) that claim to have implemented indefinite information-theoretic causal structures, suggesting an apparent tension between these notions. To address this, we develop a general framework that disentangles these two notions and characterises their compatibility in scenarios where quantum systems may be delocalised over a spacetime. The framework first describes a composition of quantum maps through feedback loops, and then the embedding of the resulting (possibly cyclic) signalling structure in an acyclic spacetime. Relativistic causality then corresponds to the compatibility of the two notions of causation. We reformulate the process matrix framework here and derive a number of no-go results for physical implementations of process matrices in a spacetime. These reveal that it is impossible to physically implement indefinite causal order processes with spacetime localised systems, and also characterise the degree to which they must be delocalised. Further, we show that any physical implementation of an indefinite order process can ultimately be fine-grained to one that admits a fixed acyclic information-theoretic causal order that is compatible with the spacetime causal order, thus resolving the apparent paradox. Our work sheds light on the operational meaning of indefinite causal structures which we discuss in detail.

description: An analysis of academic literature and of specialized sources shows a serious lack of research studies and publications on the role of felt in Bashkir material culture. A review of available information about felt can provide the groundwork for further in-depth research studies in this area. This paper aims to introduce readers to the history of felt, its place in daily life and its reflection in Bashkir spiritual culture. What makes this study relevant in the present context is that it fills the gap in research on felt as being an element of Bashkir material culture and its presence in Bashkir folklore. Based on felt-related folklore and ethnographic materials drawn from the authors’ published and non-published field notes, this paper seeks to show the rich history of felt from ancient times to our days and to identify its place in Bashkir spiritual culture. The analytical approach used for this study has revealed the strong presence of felt in folklore, particularly, in Bashkir fairy tales and customs highlighting the mention of white felt, which was widely used in rituals and traditional medicine. Examples drawn from various fairy tales illustrate the authors’ observations about the role of felt in Bashkir spiritual culture.

description: The formation of merging binary black holes can occur through multiple astrophysical channels such as, e.g., isolated binary evolution and dynamical formation or, alternatively, have a primordial origin. Increasingly large gravitational-wave catalogs of binary black-hole mergers have allowed for the first model selection studies between different theoretical predictions to constrain some of their model uncertainties and branching ratios. In this work, we show how one could add an additional and independent constraint to model selection by using the stochastic gravitational-wave background. In contrast to model selection analyses that have discriminating power only up to the gravitational-wave detector horizons (currently at redshifts $z\lesssim 1$ for LIGO-Virgo), the stochastic gravitational-wave background accounts for the redshift integration of all gravitational-wave signals in the Universe. As a working example, we consider the branching ratio results from a model selection study that includes potential contribution from astrophysical and primordial channels. We renormalize the relative contribution of each channel to the detected event rate to compute the total stochastic gravitational-wave background energy density. The predicted amplitude lies below the current observational upper limits of GWTC-2 by LIGO-Virgo, indicating that the results of the model selection analysis are not ruled out by current background limits. Furthermore, given the set of population models and inferred branching ratios, we find that, even though the predicted background will not be detectable by current generation gravitational-wave detectors, it will be accessible by third-generation detectors such as the Einstein Telescope and space-based detectors such as LISA.

description: This paper presents a study on accessibility analysis for public housing development in Choa Chu Kang/Bukit Panjang area, Singapore, using geographical information systems (GIS) and multi-criteria analysis methods. GIS is used to measure accessibility to different types of facilities and amenities, while a multi-criteria method is employed to weight buyers preferences about the importance of each type of accessibility and to derive the overall attractiveness of each location for housing development in terms of these multiple types of accessibility. The results could be used to assist the housing planning and development authorities to prioritise sites where public housing should be developed in the study area.

description: We study the renormalization group of generic effective field theories that include gravity. We follow the on-shell amplitude approach, which provides a simple and efficient method to extract anomalous dimensions avoiding complications from gauge redundancies. As an invaluable tool we introduce a modified helicity $\tilde{h}$ under which gravitons carry one unit instead of two. With this modified helicity we easily explain old and uncover new non-renormalization theorems for theories including gravitons. We provide complete results for the one-loop gravitational renormalization of a generic minimally coupled gauge theory with scalars and fermions and all orders in $M_{Pl}$, as well as for the renormalization of dimension-six operators including at least one graviton, all up to four external particles.

The SLE loop via conformal welding of quantum disks

description: We prove that the SLEκ loop measure arises naturally from the conformal welding of two γ-Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) disks for γ2=κ∈(0,4). The proof relies on our companion work on conformal welding of LQG disks and uses as an essential tool the concept of uniform embedding of LQG surfaces. Combining our result with work of Gwynne and Miller, we get that random quadrangulations decorated by a self-avoiding polygon converge in the scaling limit to the LQG sphere decorated by the SLE8/3 loop. Our result is also a key input to recent work of the first and third coauthors on the integrability of the conformal loop ensemble.

A strategic approach to climate change impacts and adaptation
Creators: name: Sposito, Victor A
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2016
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This paper describes a strategic approach to examining potential climate change impacts on agricultural, forestry and regional/rural resources. It outlines a holistic framework that links impacts with adaptation actions that is consistent with new thoughts on preparing society for climate change. The assessment of the potential impacts is a logical extension of the land resource evaluation models described in the paper by Hossain et al. (2006) since it links land suitability analysis modelling, developed by Primary Industries Research Victoria (PIRVic), with climate change impacts modelling developed by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industry Research Organisation (CSIRO). The Framework is illustrated by its applications in two regions in the State of Victoria, AUSTRALIA. The project described in this paper is part of a joint national and state effort in Australia to improve the knowledge on, and tools to adapt to, climate change and climate variability.

description: El Tajín was an ancient metropolis in which rituals such as the Mesoamerican ball game were carried out, later to be recorded in the sculptural bas-reliefs of its architecture. The study of its morphologies is the recognition of the ways in which an ancient civilization is expressed, thus contributing to the characterization of a culture whose past belongs to World Heritage. This paper proposes a case-sample analysis of the bas-reliefs in the South Ballcourt based on reticular geometry and fractal dimension analysis. It was found that the geometry of the RA (golden rectangle), RR2 and RR3 are prevalent, in addition to the identification of iconographic naturalist and symbolic elements; from the box-counting fractal dimension, it was found that the elements, though of different sizes or composition, show similar complexities, with a value of around 1.7.

description: The grid-forming converter is an important unit in the future power system with more inverter-interfaced generators. However, improving its performance is still a key challenge. This paper proposes a generalized architecture of the grid-forming converter from the view of multivariable feedback control. As a result, many of the existing popular control strategies, i.e., droop control, power synchronization control, virtual synchronous generator control, matching control, dispatchable virtual oscillator control, and their improved forms are unified into a multivariable feedback control transfer matrix working on several linear and nonlinear error signals. Meanwhile, unlike the traditional assumptions of decoupling between AC and DC control, active power and reactive power control, the proposed configuration simultaneously takes all of them into consideration, which therefore can provide better performance. As an example, a new multi-input-multi-output-based grid-forming (MIMO-GFM) control is proposed based on the generalized configuration. To cope with the multivariable feedback, an optimal and structured $H_{\infty}$ synthesis is used to design the control parameters. At last, simulation and experimental results show superior performance and robustness of the proposed configuration and control.

description: We propose a framework, named the postselected inflation framework, to obtain converging outer approximations of the sets of probability distributions that are compatible with classical multi-network scenarios. Here, a network is a bilayer directed acyclic graph with a layer of sources of classical randomness, a layer of agents, and edges specifying the connectivity between the agents and the sources. A multi-network scenario is a list of such networks, together with a specification of subsets of agents using the same strategy. An outer approximation of the set of multi-network correlations provides means to certify the infeasibility of a list of agent outcome distributions. We furthermore show that the postselected inflation framework is mathematically equivalent to the standard inflation framework: in that respect, our results allow to gain further insights into the convergence proof of the inflation hierarchy of Navascuès and Wolfe [arXiv:1707.06476], and extend it to the case of multi-network scenarios.

title: The Effects of Style of Timing Cue on Motor Skill Acquisition

description: The hierarchical model of motor programs asserts that a new movement is learned in hierarchical stages, and that movement timing control develops within each specific stage. The present study investigated whether learning within these different hierarchical stages is favored by different styles of timing cues. Three groups of right-handed subjects (total N = 48) learned to trace a short path while a specific style of auditory timing cue was introduced. Cues were presented in either a movement-synchronized style (cues occurring every time a movement change is required), an isochronic style (equal time interval cues), or with no cues (the control condition). The results indicate that auditory cues were only effective to some degree in improving performance, with no overall differences found between isochronic and movement-synchronized styles of cue, though cue style did have an effect on males' performance when the task was modulated. Strong effects for gender were found, with males consistently outperforming females. Future research should consider using single-subject designs with somewhat slower, less abstract tasks so that subjects have a concrete purpose on which to focus.

description: The aim of this study was to explore the use of biotechnologies in the restoration of wall paintings and stuccos which often show a great complexity regarding constitutive materials and conservative conditions. ‘Biological methods’ were compared to traditional methods, focusing on restoring the cohesion of the superficial layers (bioconsolidation) and the removal of sulphates (biocleaning) often found on the frescoes as decay products. The experimentation took place as part of a graduate thesis and was divided in two stages: the first was spent in the laboratory working on samples of painted plaster and the second was spent in situ, on the frescoes and stuccos in the Church of Santa Pudenziana in Rome, Italy. Application of the products was followed by a campaign of investigations aimed at determining the efficacy, and the advantages and disadvantages of these methods compared to conventional ones.

description: We propose a singlet majoron model that defines an inverse seesaw mechanism in the $ν$ sector. The majoron $ϕ$ has a mass $m_ϕ\approx 0.5$ eV and a coupling to the $τ$ lepton similar to the one to neutrinos. In the early universe it is initially in thermal equilibrium, then it decouples at $T\approx 500$ GeV and contributes with just $ΔN_{\rm eff}=0.026$ during BBN. At $T=26$ keV (final stages of BBN) a primordial magnetic field induces resonant $γ\leftrightarrow ϕ$ oscillations that transfer 6% of the photon energy into majorons, implying $ΔN_{\rm eff}=0.55$ and a 4.7% increase in the baryon to photon ratio. At $T\approx m_ϕ$ the majoron enters in thermal contact with the heaviest neutrino and it finally decays into $ν\bar ν$ pairs near recombination, setting $ΔN_{\rm eff}=0.85$. The boost in the expansion rate at later times may relax the Hubble tension (we obtain $H_0=(71.4\pm 0.5)$ km/s/Mpc), while the processes $ ν\bar ν\leftrightarrow ϕ$ suppress the free streaming of these particles and make the model consistent with large scale structure observations. Its lifetime and the fact that it decays into neutrinos instead of photons lets this axion-like majoron avoid the strong bounds that affect other axion-like particles of similar mass and coupling to photons.

description: It is natural to expect a complete physical theory to have the ability to consistently model agents as physical systems of the theory. In [Nat. Comms. 9, 3711 (2018)], Frauchiger and Renner (FR) claim to show that when agents in quantum theory reason about each other's knowledge in a certain Wigner's friend scenario, they arrive at a logical contradiction. In light of this, Renner often poses the challenge: provide a set of reasoning rules that can be used to program quantum computers that may act as agents, which are (a) logically consistent (b) generalise to arbitrary Wigner's friend scenarios (c) efficiently programmable and (d) consistent with the temporal order of the protocol. Here we develop a general framework where we show that every logical Wigner's friend scenario (LWFS) can be mapped to a single temporally ordered quantum circuit, which allows agents in any LWFS to reason in a way that meets all four criteria of the challenge. Importantly, our framework achieves this general resolution without modifying classical logic or unitary quantum evolution or the Born rule, while allowing agents' perspectives to be fundamentally subjective. We analyse the FR protocol in detail, showing how the apparent paradox is resolved there. We show that apparent logical contradictions in any LWFS only arise when ignoring the choice of Heisenberg cut in scenarios where this choice does matter, and taking this dependence into account will always resolve the apparent paradox. Our results establish that universal applicability of quantum theory does not pose any threat to multi-agent logical reasoning and we discuss the implications of these results for FR's no-go theorem. Moreover, our formalism suggests the possibility of a truly relational and operational description of Wigner's friend scenarios that is consistent with quantum theory as well as probability theory applied to measurement outcomes.

description: By means of first-principles density-functional theory calculations, we investigate the role of hydrostatic pressure on the electronic structure of Td (Pmn21 ) and 1T" (Pm) phases of Weyl semimetal Mo0.5 W0.5 Te2 , which is a promising material for phase-change memory technology and superconductivity. We particularly focus on changes occurring in the distribution of the gapless Weyl points (WPs) within 0 to 45 GPa pressure range. We further investigate the structural phase transition and lattice dynamics of the Td and 1T" phases within the aforementioned pressure range. Our calculations suggest that both the Td and 1T" phases of Mo0.5 W0.5 Te2 host four WPs in their full Brillouin zone at zero pressure. The total number of WPs increases to 44 (36) with increasing pressure via pair creation up to 20 (15) GPa for the T d (1T 00 ) phase, and beyond this pressure pair annihilation of WPs starts occurring leaving only 16 WPs at 45 GPa in both phases. The enthalpy versus pressure data reveal that the 1T 00 phase is more favorable below the critical pressure of 7.5 GPa, however, beyond this critical pressure the Td phase becomes enthalpically favorable. We also provide the calculated x-ray diffraction spectra along with the calculated Raman- and infrared-active phonon frequencies to facilitate the experimental identification of the studied phases.

description: The suburbanization of various functions has generated Suburban Downtowns or typical Edge Cities in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. On the other hand, Melbourne, the capital city of the state of Victoria, Australia, has managed to control its suburban centres. The CBD in Melbourne still retains comprehensive central functions for the metropolitan area, but large scale shopping malls have also been developed in the suburbs. The regional structures of these two metropolitan areas, prima facie, seem different. However, in this paper, we would like to highlight a common feature present in both areas, based on our examination of commuter flows. This phenomenon involves an interdependent, cross-suburb flow structure, which is emerging in many urban areas in the 21st century.
