description: We provide here a significant extension of the NuGrid Set 1 models in mass coverage and toward lower metallicity, adopting the same physics assumptions. The combined data set now includes the initial masses M/Msun = 1, 1.65, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 12, 15, 20, 25 for Z = 0.02, 0.01, 0.006, 0.001, 0.0001 with alpha-enhanced composition for the lowest three metallicities. These models are computed with the MESA stellar evolution code and are evolved up to the AGB, the white dwarf stage, or until core collapse. The nucleosynthesis was calculated for all isotopes in post-processing with the NuGrid mppnp code. Explosive nucleosynthesis is based on semi-analytic 1D shock models. Metallicity-dependent mass loss, convective boundary mixing in low- and intermediate mass models and H and He core burning massive star models is included. Convective O-C shell mergers in some stellar models lead to the strong production of odd-Z elements P, Cl, K and Sc. In AGB models with hot dredge-up the convective boundary mixing efficiency is reduced to accommodate for its energetic feedback. In both low-mass and massive star models at the lowest metallicity H-ingestion events are observed and lead to i-process nucleosynthesis and substantial N-15 production. Complete yield data tables, derived data products and online analytic data access are provided.

description: My father, Sydney Morris, originally signed up with the RAF (aged sixteen) in 1941 to leave his home, as his mother had passed away two years earlier. His two older sisters were not great cooks and he figured that being in the Armed Forces had to be a better option than doing the books in my grandfather's tailoring shop and caring for a younger brother.So he joined up with a much older member from the community (Nat was 28) and went up to RAF Dishforth for basic training. Somehow he was made a Corporal during the following year (still in Yorkshire) and by then he had just managed to grow a pencil moustache to make himself look much older.He and Nat were trained as Signallers but were told that there were "too many Signallers" and that they had to "re-apply." Nat advised that they should be "Radar Operators", as it was "a cushy job." They were then informed that "it was also oversubscribed and they would have to re-apply." They then filled in a form for "Bomb Aimers" and the same thing happened. Then "Wireless Operators"... same again. "Navigators"... same again and "Flight Engineers"... ditto.Finally, Nat ran out of options and they went to the C.O. to explain the situation and ask "What did they actually want?" The C.O. told them "Rear Gunners!" and Nat said to him "We're NOT doing it!" Rear Gunners had a life expectancy of three days.The C.O. then took both their papers, rubber-stamped a big red "L.O.M.F." (Lack of Moral Fibre) against them, and they were officially sacked from the RAF. "Back on Civvy Street," announced Nat, but as they walked from the gates, their discharge papers were snatched from their hands and immediately replaced with their call-up papers to the British Army.Nat is front row bottom right with the pipe and everybody called him "Pops." They ended up with the Signal Corps in Italy at Monte Cassino where they were bombed by the Americans and he met Terence Alan "Spike" Milligan in a hospital ward. Some time in the future they both ended up in North Africa, where my father made the mistake of his war by answering the query, "Can any man here sew?" He thought that he was going to be making officers' uniforms back at HQ, but instead, he ended up on a battlefield sewing corpses into shrouds. He NEVER volunteered for anything again.That's probably the best story about my late father during the war that I know, so I hope it's one that can be used, as it is filled with bathos, as I learnt at school from the plays of Sean O'Casey, the great Irish dramatist.

description: The 2016 is remembered as the year that showed to the world how dangerous Distributed Denial of Service attacks can be. Gauge of the disruptiveness of DDoS attacks is the number of bots involved: the bigger the botnet, the more powerful the attack. This character, along with the increasing availability of connected and insecure IoT devices, makes DDoS and IoT the perfect pair for the malware industry. In this paper we present the main idea behind AntibIoTic, a palliative solution to prevent DDoS attacks perpetrated through IoT devices.

description: Recently a holographic model of hadrons motivated by AdS/CFT has been proposed to fit the low energy data of mesons. We point out that the infrared physics can be developed in a more systematic manner by exploiting backreaction of the nonperturbative condensates. We show that these condensates can naturally provide the IR cutoff corresponding to confinement, thus removing some of the ambiguities from the original formulation of the model. We also show how asymptotic freedom can be incorporated into the theory, and the substantial effect it has on the glueball spectrum and gluon condensate of the theory. A simple reinterpretation of the holographic scale results in a non-perturbative running for alpha_s which remains finite for all energies. We also find the leading effects of adding the higher condensate into the theory. The difficulties for such models to reproduce the proper Regge physics lead us to speculate about extensions of our model incorporating tachyon condensation.

description: Cartoons drawn by RAF Corporal John Miller Law (2961 Squadron ground crew), while he was stationed in India and Burma between 1942 and 1945, during the Second World War. John joined the RAF in Edinburgh in October 1941 at the age of 18. He was sent to India in March 1942. He then served with 2961 squadron which formed at Secunderabad in the Light Anti-Aircraft role in July 1944, being deployed to Dimapur, Tullihal, Palel, Tabingaung, Saudang, Rangoon, Sumatra and finally Medan, disbanding in January 1946.John included these cartoons with letters he sent to his sister Jenny (Janet Miller Law) and her husband Dave Weir. Sadly the letters themselves were not kept, but at least these cartoons have survived, being kept carefully over the years by my maternal grandparents (Jenny and Dave), then by my mother and father, and now by me. He was clearly quite a talented artist and must have enjoyed using his artistic skills to illustrate his experiences and illustrate the contents of his letters home.2961 Squadron - formed at Secunderabad in the Light Anti-Aircraft role in July 1944, being deployed to Dimapur, Tullihal, Palel, Tabingaung, Saudang, Rangoon, Sumatra and finally Medan, disbanding in

Once the final result is available, it is possible to exhibit it in terms of the corresponding final result of the three-body region following a set of simple changes in the latter. We cover two cases, a charged and a neutral polarized decaying baryon.

description: Presently a ${>}3σ$ tension exists between values of the Hubble constant $H_0$ derived from analysis of fluctuations in the Cosmic Microwave Background by Planck, and local measurements of the expansion using calibrators of type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). We perform a blinded reanalysis of Riess et al. 2011 to measure $H_0$ from low-redshift SNe Ia, calibrated by Cepheid variables and geometric distances including to NGC 4258. This paper is a demonstration of techniques to be applied to the Riess et at. 2016 data. Our end-to-end analysis starts from available CfA3 and LOSS photometry, providing an independent validation of Riess et al. 2011. We obscure the value of $H_0$ throughout our analysis and the first stage of the referee process, because calibration of SNe Ia requires a series of often subtle choices, and the potential for results to be affected by human bias is significant. Our analysis departs from that of Riess et al. 2011 by incorporating the covariance matrix method adopted in SNLS and JLA to quantify SN Ia systematics, and by including a simultaneous fit of all SN Ia and Cepheid data. We find $H_0 = 72.5 \pm 3.1$ (stat) $\pm 0.77$ (sys) km s$^{-1}$ Mpc$^{-1}$ with a three-galaxy (NGC 4258+LMC+MW) anchor. The relative uncertainties are 4.3% statistical, 1.1% systematic, and 4.4% total, larger than in Riess et al. 2011 (3.3% total) and the Efstathiou 2014 reanalysis (3.4% total). Our error budget for $H_0$ is dominated by statistical errors due to the small size of the supernova sample, whilst the systematic contribution is dominated by variation in the Cepheid fits, and for the SNe Ia, uncertainties in the host galaxy mass dependence and Malmquist bias.

description: We discuss some aspects of the search for CP asymmetry in the three body B decays, revealed through the interference among neighbor resonances in the Dalitz plot. We propose a competitive method to extract the CKM $γ$ angle combining Dalitz plot amplitude analysis of $B^{\pm} \to K^{\pm} π^+ π^-$ and untagged $B^0$, $\bar B^0 \to K_s π^+ π^-$. The method also obtains the ratio and phase difference between the {\it tree} and {\it penguin} contributions from $B^0$ and $\bar B^0 \to K^{*\pm} π^{\mp} $ decays and the CP asymmetry between $B^0$ and $\bar{B^0}$. From Monte Carlo studies of 100K events for the neutral mesons, we show the possibility of measuring $γ$.

description: In the last decade, imaging polarimeters based on micropolarizer arrays have been developed for use in terrestrial remote sensing and metrology applications. Micropolarizer-based sensors are dramatically smaller and more mechanically robust than other polarimeters with similar spectral response and snapshot capability. To determine the suitability of these new polarimeters for astronomical applications, we developed the RIT Polarization Imaging Camera to investigate the performance of these devices, with a special attention to the low signal-to-noise regime. We characterized the device performance in the lab, by determining the relative throughput, efficiency, and orientation of every pixel, as a function of wavelength. Using the resulting pixel response model, we developed demodulation procedures for aperture photometry and imaging polarimetry observing modes. We found that, using the current calibration, RITPIC is capable of detecting polarization signals as small as $\sim0.3\%$. The relative ease of data collection, calibration, and analysis provided by these sensors suggest than they may become an important tool for a number of astronomical targets.

description: Neutrino masses might be as light as a few time the atmospheric neutrino mass splitting. High Energy ZeV cosmic neutrinos (in Z-Showering model) might hit relic ones at each mass in different resonance energies in our nearby Universe. This non-degenerated density and energy must split UHE Z-boson secondaries (in Z-Burst model) leading to multi injection of UHECR nucleons within future extreme AUGER energy. Secondaries of Z-Burst as neutral gamma, below a few tens EeV are better surviving local GZK cut-off and they might explain recent Hires BL-Lac UHECR correlations at small angles. A different high energy resonance must lead to Glashow's anti-neutrino showers while hitting electrons in matter. In air, Glashow's anti-neutrino showers lead to collimated and directional air-showers offering a new Neutrino Astronomy. At greater energy around PeV, Tau escaping mountains and Earth and decaying in flight are effectively showering in air sky. These Horizontal showering is splitting by geomagnetic field in forked shapes. Such air-showers secondaries release amplified and beamed gamma bursts (like observed TGF), made also by muon and electron pair bundles, with their accompanying rich Cherenkov flashes. Also planet' s largest (Saturn, Jupiter) atmosphere limbs offer an ideal screen for UHE GZK and Z-burst tau neutrino, because their largest sizes. Titan thick atmosphere and small radius are optimal for discovering up-going resonant Glashow resonant showers. Earth detection of Neutrino showering by twin Magic Telescopes on top mountains, or by balloons and satellites arrays facing the limbs are the simplest and cheapest way toward UHE Neutrino Astronomy .

description: Combining effective Hamiltonian and direct $ab$ $initio$ computation, we obtain the phase diagram of SnTiO$_{3}$ with respect to epitaxial strain and temperature, demonstrating the complex features of the phase diagram and providing insight into the epitaxially strained SnTiO$_{3}$, a presumably simple perovskite. In the phase diagram, two triple points are found, which may be exploited to to achieve high-performance piezoelectric effects. On the other hand, despite the inclusion of the degree of freedoms related to oxygen octahedron tilting, it is found that ferroelectric displacements dominate the structural phases over the whole strain misfit range. Finally, it is shown that the SnTiO$_{3}$ can be converted from hard to soft ferroelectrics with epitaxial strain.

description: Photon statistics is one of the key properties of the photon state for the study of quantum coherence and quantum information techniques. Here, we discuss the photon indistinguishability induced bunching effect which can significantly change photon statistics. Through the measurement of the second-order degree of coherence of a mixed photon state composed of a single-photon state and a weak coherent state, the statistical transition from a classical behavior to a nonclassical behavior is experimentally demonstrated by modifying the indistinguishability of the two-photon states. The study will help us to understand and control the photon statistics with a method for quantum optical coherence and quantum information applications. It also indicates that the photon indistinguishability is a key parameter for multipartite quantum coherence.

description: Treating the MSSM as an effective theory below a threshold scale Lambda, we study the consequences of having dimension-five operators in the superpotential for flavour and CP-violating processes. Below the supersymmetric threshold such terms generate flavour changing and/or CP-odd effective operators of dimension six composed from the Standard Model fermions, that have the interesting property of decoupling linearly with the threshold scale, i.e. as 1/(Lambda m_soft), where m_soft is the scale of soft supersymmetry breaking. The assumption of weak-scale supersymmetry, together with the stringent limits on electric dipole moments and lepton flavour-violating processes, then provides sensitivity to Lambda as high as 10^7-10^9 GeV. We discuss the varying sensitivity to these scales within several MSSM benchmark scenarios and also outline the classes of UV physics which could generate these operators.

description: Recently, many efforts have been made to build dark energy models whose equation-of-state parameter can cross the so-called phantom divide $w_{de}=-1$. One of them is the so-called hessence dark energy model in which the role of dark energy is played by a non-canonical complex scalar field. In this work, we develop a simple method based on Hubble parameter $H(z)$ to reconstruct the hessence dark energy. As examples, we use two familiar parameterizations for $H(z)$ and fit them to the latest 182 type Ia supernovae Gold dataset. In the reconstruction, measurement errors are fully considered.

description: Annotation: With the full-scale reform of all branches of social and legal life in the Republic of Uzbekistan, in particular, judicial and legal, serious changes affect the sphere of legal regulation of the entire criminal process, including its pre-trial stages. The priority tasks of the reforms carried out in the current period are the creation of an effective anti-corruption system, ensuring genuine independence and independence of the judiciary, improving the quality and transparency of justice, simplifying pre-trial criminal proceedings, reducing its time, and ensuring accessibility of justice for citizens.

The new institute of the plea agreement, in our opinion, will become one of the most promising and controversial novelties of criminal procedure legislation, investigative and judicial practice of recent times.

New Analytical Formulae for Optically-Thin Accretion Flows

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: In a previous paper, we described new analytic formulae for optically-thick supercritical accretion flows (Watarai 2006, hereafter paper 1). Here we present analytic formulae for optically-thin one-temperature accretion flows including the advection-dominated regime, using the ``semi-iterative'' method described in paper 1. Our analytic formulae have two real solutions. The first solution corresponds to the advection-dominated accretion flow (ADAF), and the second solution corresponds to the radiation-dominated accretion flow described by Shapiro, Lightman, & Eardley (the so-called SLE model). Both solutions are given by a cubic equation for the advection parameter $f$, which is the ratio of the advection cooling rate $Q_{\rm adv}$ to the viscous heating rate $Q_{\rm vis}$, i.e., $f=Q_{\rm adv}/Q_{\rm vis}$. Most previous studies assume that $f$ is constant ($f \sim 1$ for the ADAF). However, it is clear that $f$ should be a function of the physical parameters of the radiative-cooling dominated regime. We found that the ratio $f$ can be written as a function of the radius, mass accretion rate, and viscous parameter $α$. Using this formula, we can estimate the transition radius from the inner optically-thin ADAF to the outer optically-thick standard disk, which can be measured using observations of the quiescent state in black hole X-ray binaries.

description: We derive an expression for the anomalous viscosity in an anisotropically expanding quark-gluon-plasma, which arises from interactions of thermal partons with dynamically generated color fields. The anomalous viscosity dominates over the collisional viscosity for large velocity gradients or weak coupling. This effect may provide an explanation for the apparent ``nearly perfect'' liquidity of the matter produced in nuclear collisions at RHIC without the assumption that it is a strongly coupled state.

description: High resolution spectra of the Spitzer Space Telescope show vibration-rotation absorption bands of gaseous C2H2, HCN, and CO2 molecules toward a sample of deeply obscured (U)LIRG nuclei. The observed bands reveal the presence of dense (n>~ 10^7 cm^-3), warm (T_ex = 200-700 K) molecular gas with high column densities of these molecules ranging from a few 10^15 - 10^17 cm^-2. Abundances relative to H2, inferred from the silicate optical depth, range from ~10^-7 to 10^-6 and show no correlation with temperature. Theoretical studies show that the high abundances of both C2H2 and HCN exclude a X-ray dominated region (XDR) associated with the toroid surrounding an AGN as the origin of this dense warm molecular gas. Galactic massive protostars in the so-called Hot Core phase have similar physical characteristics with comparable high abundances of C2H2, HCN, and CO2 in the hot phase. However, the abundances of C2H2 and HCN and the C2H2/CO2 and HCN/CO2 ratios are much higher toward the (U)LIRGs in the cooler (T_ex <= 400 K) phase. We suggest that the warm dense molecular gas revealed by the mid-IR absorption lines is associated with a phase of deeply embedded star formation where the extreme pressures and densities of the nuclear starburst environment have inhibited the expansion of HII regions and the global disruption of the star forming molecular cloud cores, and `trapped' the star formation process in an `extended' Hot Core phase.

description: Improving the adoption of improved crop varieties is very important to increase income, reduce hunger, sustain food security, and to reduce poverty in sub-Saharan Africa like Ethiopia. Similarly, Belete potato variety is one of the improved varieties that have been utilized by Ethiopian farmers, but this variety was not conjointly adopted in all parts of the country. Thus, this research was intended to analyze factors influencing rural farmers' decision for the adoption of improved potato varieties in Southern Ethiopia. Both qualitative and quantitative data were collected from primary and secondary sources. To select the sample respondents, two-stage sampling techniques were employed and finally, 146 households' heads were selected. To get the data survey questionnai-res, interview schedules, Focused Group Discussions, observations and key informant interviews were employed. To analyze the data, both descriptive statistics and econometric model were employed. Accordingly, the econometric model indicated that family labour, access to fertilizer, access to credit service, frequency of extension contacts, participation in training and field day, and educational level were positively and significantly influenced the adoption of Belete potato adoption, however, the market distance was influenced negatively. Therefore, this result implies that researchers, policymakers, extension service providers and other concerned bodies should be given attention to increasing the adoption of improved Belete potato variety.
Generalized parton distributions and rapidity gap survival in exclusive diffractive pp scattering

description: We propose a new approach to the problem of rapidity gap survival (RGS) in the production of high-mass systems (H = dijet, heavy quarkonium, Higgs boson) in double-gap exclusive diffractive pp scattering, pp -> p + (gap) + H + (gap) + p. It is based on the idea that hard and soft interactions proceed over widely different time- and distance scales and are thus approximately independent. The high-mass system is produced in a hard scattering process with exchange of two gluons between the protons. Its amplitude is calculable in terms of the gluon generalized parton distributions (GPDs) in the protons, which can be measured in J/psi production in exclusive ep scattering. The hard scattering process is modified by soft spectator interactions, which we calculate in a model-independent way in terms of the pp elastic scattering amplitude. Contributions from inelastic intermediate states are suppressed. A simple geometric picture of the interplay of hard and soft interactions in diffraction is obtained. The onset of the black-disk limit in pp scattering at TeV energies strongly suppresses diffraction at small impact parameters and is the main factor in determining the RGS probability. Correlations between hard and soft interactions (e.g. due to scattering from the long-range pion field of the proton, or due to possible short-range transverse correlations between partons) further decrease the RGS probability. We also investigate the dependence of the diffractive cross section on the transverse momenta of the final-state protons ("diffraction pattern"). By measuring this dependence one can perform detailed tests of the interplay of hard and soft interactions, and even extract information about the gluon GPD in the proton. Such studies appear to be feasible with the planned forward detectors at the LHC.

description: We consider the design and modeling of metasurfaces that couple energy from guided waves to propagating wavefronts. This is a first step towards a comprehensive, multiscale modeling platform for metasurface antennas-large arrays of metamaterial elements embedded in a waveguide structure that radiates into free-space--in which the detailed electromagnetic responses of metamaterial elements are replaced by polarizable dipoles. We present two methods to extract the effective polarizability of a metamaterial element embedded in a one- or two-dimensional waveguide. The first method invokes surface equivalence principles, averaging over the effective surface currents and charges within an element to obtain the effective dipole moments; the second method is based on computing the coefficients of the scattered waves within the waveguide, from which the effective polarizability can be inferred. We demonstrate these methods on several variants of waveguide-fed metasurface elements, finding excellent agreement between the two, as well as with analytical expressions derived for irises with simpler geometries. Extending the polarizability extraction technique to higher order multipoles, we confirm the validity of the dipole approximation for common metamaterial elements. With the effective polarizabilities of the metamaterial elements accurately determined, the radiated fields generated by a metasurface antenna (inside and outside the antenna) can be found self-consistently by including the interactions between polarizable dipoles. The dipole description provides an alternative language and computational framework for engineering metasurface antennas, holograms, lenses, beam-forming arrays, and other electrically large, waveguide-fed metasurface structures.

description: My father was an interpreter at a British Army POW Camp in North Africa in 1943. A souvenir of his service is a wood carving made by one of the prisoners. It portrays a peasant leading a donkey and cart. The details are appealing: the man has his left hand in his pocket, while the other holds a stick; the cart is laden with sacks of fruit and vegetables; and the donkey's elaborate harness is clearly delineated. This creation is all the more impressive when you know that the only tools available were a razor blade and a nail. The prisoner had been a wood carver in civilian life, which explains his skill. Underneath the base he carved his name: J Fischer 209 POW Camp.
