description: We have studied the infrared properties of the brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) located in the cores of X-ray-luminous clusters at 0.15 < z < 0.35. The majority of the BCGs are not particularly infrared-luminous compared with other massive early-type galaxies, suggesting that the cluster environment has little influence on the infrared luminosities of the BCGs. The exceptions, however, are the BCGs in the three X-ray-brightest clusters in the sample, A1835, Z3146, and A2390. These BCGs have a prominent far-infrared peak in their spectral energy distributions (SEDs), and two of them (those in A1835 and Z3146) can be classified as luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs: L_{IR} > 10^{11} L_{sun}). Although radio AGNs are found to be prevalent among the BCGs, the infrared luminosities of these three BCGs, judged from the infrared SED signatures, are likely to be powered by star formation. Considering the overall trend that clusters with shorter radiative gas cooling times harbor more infrared-luminous BCGs, the enhanced star formation may be caused by the cooling cluster gas accreting onto the BCGs.

description: Some of the heavy elements, such as gold and europium (Eu), are almost exclusively formed by the rapid neutron capture process (r-process). However, it is still unclear which astrophysical site between core-collapse supernovae and neutron star - neutron star (NS-NS) mergers produced most of the r-process elements in the universe. Galactic chemical evolution (GCE) models can test these scenarios by quantifying the frequency and yields required to reproduce the amount of europium (Eu) observed in galaxies. Although NS-NS mergers have become popular candidates, their required frequency (or rate) needs to be consistent with that obtained from gravitational wave measurements. Here we address the first NS-NS merger detected by LIGO/Virgo (GW170817) and its associated Gamma-ray burst and analyze their implication on the origin of r-process elements. The range of NS-NS merger rate densities of 320-4740 Gpc$^{-3}$ yr$^{-1}$ provided by LIGO/Virgo is remarkably consistent with the range required by GCE to explain the Eu abundances in the Milky Way with NS-NS mergers, assuming the solar r-process abundance pattern for the ejecta. Under the same assumption, this event has produced about 1-5 Earth masses of Eu, and 3-13 Earth masses of gold. When using theoretical calculations to derive Eu yields, constraining the role of NS-NS mergers becomes more challenging because of nuclear astrophysics uncertainties. This is the first study that directly combines nuclear physics uncertainties with GCE calculations. If GW170817 is a representative event, NS-NS mergers can produce Eu in sufficient amounts and are likely to be the main r-process site.

description: Sparse penalized quantile regression is a useful tool for variable selection, robust estimation, and heteroscedasticity detection in high-dimensional data analysis. The computational issue of the sparse penalized quantile regression has not yet been fully resolved in the literature, due to nonsmoothness of the quantile regression loss function. We introduce fast alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) algorithms for computing the sparse penalized quantile regression. The convergence properties of the proposed algorithms are established. Numerical examples demonstrate the competitive performance of our algorithm: it significantly outperforms several other fast solvers for high-dimensional penalized quantile regression. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.

description: We study the equilibrium measure for a logarithmic potential in the presence of an external field V*(x) + tp(x), where t is a parameter, V*(x) is a smooth function and p(x) a monic polynomial. When p(x) is of an odd degree, the equilibrium measure is shown to be supported on a single interval as |t| is sufficiently large. When p(x) is of an even degree, the equilibrium measure is supported on two disjoint intervals as t is negatively large; it is supported on a single interval for convex p(x) as t is positively large and is likely to be supported on multiple disjoint intervals for non-convex p(x).

description: The theory of Bloch electron dynamics for carriers in homogeneous electric and magnetic fields of arbitrary time dependence is developed in the framework of the Liouville equation. The Wigner distribution function (WDF) is determined from the single particle density matrix in the ballistic regime, i.e., collision effects are excluded. The single particle transport equation is established with the electric field described in the vector potential gauge, and the magnetic field is treated in the symmetric gauge. The general approach is to employ the accelerated Bloch state representation (ABR) as a basis so that the dependence upon the electric field, including multiband Zener tunneling, is treated exactly. In the formulation of the WDF, we transform to a new set of variables so that the final WDF is gauge invariant and is expressed explicitly in terms of the position, kinetic momentum, and time. The methodology for developing the WDF is illustrated by deriving the exact WDF equation for free electrons in homogeneous electric and magnetic fields. The methodology is then extended to the case of electrons described by an effective Hamiltonian corresponding to an arbitrary energy band function. In treating the problem of Bloch electrons in a periodic potential, the methodology for deriving the WDF reveals a multiband character due to the inherent nature of the Bloch states. In examining the single-band WDF, it is found that the collisionless WDF equation matches the equivalent Boltzmann transport equation to first order in the magnetic field. These results are necessarily extended to second order in the magnetic field by employing a unitary transformation that diagonalizes the Hamiltonian using the ABR to second order. The work includes a discussion of the multiband WDF transport analysis and the identification of the combined Zener-magnetic field induced tunneling.

description: We present a semiclassical nonlinear field equation for the confining field in 2+1--dimensional $U(1)$ lattice gauge theory (compact QED). The equation is derived directly from the underlying microscopic quantum Hamiltonian by means of truncation. Its nonlinearities express the dynamic creation of magnetic monopole currents leading to the confinement of the electric field between two static electric charges. We solve the equation numerically and show that it can be interpreted as a London relation in a dual superconductor.

Gobio

description: Prior to Projet Lac, only one species of gudgeon, Gobio gobio was known to occur in Switzerland. Gobio gobio is native to much of Europe north of the Alps and was recorded by Projet Lac in most lakes in the Rhine catchment (not recorded in Brienz and Lower Constance and naturally absent from Rousses, Joux and Brenet), as well as Annecy, Bourget and Bret in the Rhone catchment. Although the endangered Romanogobio benacensis is the native gudgeon in the Adriatic drainage, and its geographic distribution in Italy touches the borders to Switzerland [140, 141], it has not yet been recorded in Switzerland. And even though G. gobio is known to be invasive in much of the Italian Po drainage, no Gobio were recorded by Projet Lac in the lakes south of the Alps. In Upper Lake Constance, genetic barcoding of ten Gobio caught in Projet Lac, revealed five specimens of the blunt-snout gudgeon, Gobio obtusirostris and five Gobio gobio. The former species is native to the Danube river catchment and had not been previously recorded in Lake Constance nor in Switzerland. External phenotypic differences between the G. gobio and G. obtusirostris caught in Lake Constance were small (Figure 31). All Gobio in caught in Lake Constance were from fishing actions in the southern corner of the lake between Romanshorn and the mouth of the Rheintaler Binnenkanal. Individuals of both G. gobio and G. obtusirostris (according to barcoding) were caught together in two fishing actions. One individual of G. obtusirostris was also caught by Progetto Fiumi in the nearby Salmsacher Aach, which enters Lake Constance near Romanshorn.The present-day Alpine Rhine originally flowed into the Danube River (until the end of the last ice-age) and Lake Constance is known as a natural contact zone between Danubian and Rhine lineages of several other fish genera (Barbatula [142], Chondrostoma [143], Lota). Projet Lac provided the first such evidence for the two Gobio species [9].

description: We quantify the total, quantum, and classical correlations with entropic measures, and quantitatively compare these correlations in a quantum system, as exemplified by a Heisenberg dimer which is subjected to the change of environmental parameters: temperature and nonuniform external field. Our results show that the quantum correlation may exceed the classical correlation at some nonzero temperatures, though the former is rather fragile than the later under thermal fluctuation. The effect of the external field to the classical correlation is quite different from the quantum correlation.

description: Tractograms are mathematical representations of the main paths of axons within the white matter of the brain, from diffusion MRI data. Such representations are in the form of polylines, called streamlines, and one streamline approximates the common path of tens of thousands of axons. The analysis of tractograms is a task of interest in multiple fields, like neurosurgery and neurology. A basic building block of many pipelines of analysis is the definition of a distance function between streamlines. Multiple distance functions have been proposed in the literature, and different authors use different distances, usually without a specific reason other than invoking the "common practice". To this end, in this work we want to test such common practices, in order to obtain factual reasons for choosing one distance over another. For these reasons, in this work we compare many streamline distance functions available in the literature. We focus on the common task of automatic bundle segmentation and we adopt the recent approach of supervised segmentation from expert-based examples. Using the HCP dataset, we compare several distances obtaining guidelines on the choice of which distance function one should use for supervised bundle segmentation.

description: This paper describes the work done to test the performance of several current data transfer protocols. The work was carried out as part of the AENEAS Horizon 2020 project in collaboration with the DOMA project and investigated the interactions between the application, the transfer protocol, TCP/IP and the network elements. When operational, the two telescopes in Australia and South Africa that will form the SKA will each need to be able to transfer 1 Petabyte of data per day to various regional centres situated around the world that will extract the science from these data products. These requirements to transfer and access data are very similar to those of the current and future LHC experiments, and this has helped to form the collaboration between the particle physics and radio astronomy communities. Measurements were made using high performance server nodes with NVME and RAM disks that were directly connected with 100 Gigabit links to the NRENs and the GÉANT in Europe, and to AARNet in Canberra and the Murchison Royal Observatory in Western Australia. Some understanding of the disk to disk transfer rates was gained by measuring the read and write speeds between disk and memory for the file systems in use, and also the observed memory to memory network performance between the hosts used. In addition, some of the open source data transfer and network performance tools were instrumented to provide more insight on the observed rates and performance. The measurements were made over various 100 Gigabit links, including dedicated and shared links, with round trip times (RTT) of 7.5, 15, 30 and 300 ms. The disk and file system configurations used included xfs over NVME disks in RAID0, a zfs pool of NVME disks, xfs on RAM disks, and systems at CERN and DESY. The following application and protocols were compared: GridFTP with globus-url-copy, Xrootd with xrdcp using xrd protocol, Xrootd with curl using http protocol, Xrootd with davix using http protocol, and dCache with davix using http protocol. The results and analysis of the data from the sub-systems' and application performance are presented and discussed in relation to the end-to-end disk transfer rates observed. The paper concluded with some recommendations for improving performance and welcomes open discussion. The authors acknowledge the help from members of the DOMA Project.

Carassius

description: Three species of Carassius are considered to occur in the perialpine region: Carassius carassius (Crucian carp), C. gibelio (Prussian carp) and C. auratus (goldfish). According to the Ordinance of the Swiss Fisheries Act none of these species are native to Switzerland. C. auratus is native to East Asia and has been introduced throughout Europe and most of the world. The native distributions of C. carassius and C. gibelio are uncertain. C. carassius is believed to be native to eastern and central Europe, as far west as the Rhine [9]. C. gibelio may be native to the central European lowlands or introduced from Asia [9]. C. carassius can be identified by a convex rear edge of the dorsal fin and 31-36 scales along the lateral line, while the rear edge of the dorsal fin in the other two species is concave or straight and they have fewer scales along the lateral line (26-33). C. auratus and C. gibelio are distinguished by colour (golden-bronze and silvery brown, respectively). The three species are however often confused with one another. [9] [9] All Carassius caught in Projet Lac except some from Lake Garda, were C. gibelio. This species was recorded in all southern perialpine lakes, as well as lakes Rousses, Constance Upper and Morat in the north. In most cases, DNA barcoding was not able to distinguish whether these fish were C. gibelio or C. auratus (3 from Maggiore, 1 from Lugano, 2 from Constance Upper and 1 from Morat), but clearly ruled out any C. carassius. Barcoding did however confirm the presence of two individuals of Carassius auratus in Lake Garda.

Abramis brama

description: The two cyprinid species Abramis brama and Blicca bjoerkna appear superficially similar and often hybridise across much of their overlapping distributions. Many fish identified in the field in Projet Lac as Blicca bjoerkna, were revealed by genetic barcoding to be Abramis brama in their mitochondrial genome. In the other direction, two individuals identified as A. brama were B. bjoerkna in their barcode. A. brama grows to a larger size of 70 cm compared to maximum standard length of 33 cm in B. bjoerkna [9]. The species can also usually be distinguished based on the number of lateral line scales (51 – 60 in A. brama versus 43 – 46 in B. bjoerkna) and branched rays in the anal fin (23 – 30.5 inA. brama versus 19 – 23.5 in B. bjoerkna [9]), but all these meristic traits are difficult to evaluate in juveniles and small subadults. Both species were only recorded in the northern perialpine lakes in Projet Lac. A. brama was generally more common, recorded in 15 lakes, compared to nine lakes for B. bjoerkna. Indeed, B. bjoerkna was not recorded in any lakes that did not also have A. brama. A. brama was recorded in particularly high numbers in Geneva (220 fish) and Lower Constance (69 fish). B. bjoerkna, on the other hand, was particularly abundant in Bret (234 fish) and Upper Constance (143 fish). Both species were similarly abundant in Lake Morat (38 A. brama and 37 B. bjoerkna). In future monitoring efforts great attention has to be paid to carefully distinguish these species. Genetic work to establish the extent of genetic mixing between the species in Switzerland and the perialpine region would also be worthwhile. Both species are also known to hybridize with Rutilus and we recorded several Abramis brama x Rutilus rutilus hybrids. Monitoring of this in the future would help understand the drivers and consequences of hybridization among cyprinid species.

description: Inhibiting transmission of Plasmodium is an essential strategy in malaria eradication, and the biological process of gamete fusion during fertilization is a proven target for this approach. Lack of knowledge of the mechanisms underlying fertilization have been a hindrance in the development of transmission-blocking interventions. Here we describe a protein disulphide isomerase essential for malarial transmission (PDI-Trans/PBANKA_0820300) to the mosquito. We show that PDI-Trans activity is male-specific, surface-expressed, essential for fertilization/transmission, and exhibits disulphide isomerase activity which is up-regulated post-gamete activation. We demonstrate that PDI-Trans is a viable anti-malarial drug and vaccine target blocking malarial transmission with the use of PDI inhibitor bacitracin (98.21%/92.48% reduction in intensity/prevalence), and anti-PDI-Trans antibodies (66.22%/33.16% reduction in intensity/prevalence). To our knowledge, these results provide the first evidence that PDI function is essential for malarial transmission, and emphasize the potential of anti-PDI agents to act as anti-malarials, facilitating the future development of novel transmission-blocking interventions.

Rutilus

description: Three species of Rutilus were recorded by Projet Lac in the perialpine lakes: common roach (Rutilus rutilus) is native to the Rhine and Rhone catchments and most of Europe (excluding Italian and Iberian peninsulas and Mediterranean drainages of the Balkan peninsula), while triotto (R. aula) and pigo (R. pigus) are native and endemic to the northern Adriatic basin, mainly the Po catchment (Figure 34). Rutilus rutilus was one of the most common species in Projet Lac, recorded in all northern perialpine lakes.This species was also recorded in a large number of fishing actions within each lake. Usually restricted to the littoral zone, R. rutilus also dominated the open water, pelagic zone of some smaller lakes: Remoray, Hallwil, Morat and Brenet. R. rutilus populations in the two most pristine oligotrophic lakes, Lake Brienz and Lake Walen, are genetically and – in the case of Lake Brienz – also phenotypically distinct from Rutilus in the other northern pre-alpine lakes [145]. Additionally, within Lake Brienz, fish from rocky boulder and cobble habitats are phenotypically distinct from those living over any other substrate type (; Figure 35). We consider these to be different roach populations of high conservation priority. That Rutilus from more heavily impacted lakes geographically as distant as Lakes Geneva, Neuchatel and Hallwill are genetically more similar to each other than to those from Lakes Brienz and Walen may imply that Rutilus populations have lost parts of their distinctiveness in the course of ecosystem perturbation and stock transfer. In several Rhine lakes we also recorded intergeneric hybrids between Rutilus rutilus and Abramis brama (Figure 34).

description: The performed magnetohydrodynamic simulation examines the importance of magnetofluid evolution which naturally leads to current sheets in the presence of three-dimensional (3D) magnetic nulls. Initial magnetic field is constructed by superposing a 3D force-free field on a constant axial magnetic field. The initial field supports 3D magnetic nulls having classical spine axis and dome-shaped fan surface; and exerts non-zero Lorentz force on the magnetofluid. Importantly, the simulation identifies the development of current sheets near the 3D magnetic nulls. The morphology of the current sheets is similar to a cylindrical surface where the surface encloses the spine axis. The development is because of favorable deformation of magnetic field lines constituting the dome-shaped fan surface. The deformation of field lines is found to be caused from the flow generated by magnetic reconections at current sheets which are located away from the cylindrically-shaped current sheets.

description: The environmental bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei causes melioidosis, an important endemic human disease in tropical and sub-tropical countries. This bacterium occupies broad ecological niches including soil, contaminated water, single-cell microbes, plants and infection in a range of animal species. Here, we performed genome-wide association studies for genetic determinants of environmental and human adaptation using a combined dataset of 1,010 whole genome sequences of B. pseudomallei from Northeast Thailand and Australia, representing two major disease hotspots. With these data, we identified 47 genes from 26 distinct loci associated with clinical or environmental isolates from Thailand and replicated 12 genes in an independent Australian cohort. We next outlined the selective pressures on the genetic loci (dN/dS) and the frequency at which they had been gained or lost throughout their evolutionary history, reflecting the bacterial adaptability to a wide range of ecological niches. Finally, we highlighted loci likely implicated in human disease.

description: The finite temperature phase transition in the SU(2) Higgs model at a Higgs boson mass $M_H \simeq 34$ GeV is studied in numerical simulations on four-dimensional lattices with time-like extensions up to $L_t=5$. The effects of the finite volume and finite lattice spacing on masses and couplings are studied in detail. The errors due to uncertainties in the critical hopping parameter are estimated. The thermodynamics of the electroweak plasma near the phase transition is investigated by determining the relation between energy density and pressure.

description: As it is well known, symmetry plays a crucial role in the theoretical physics. On other hand, the Noether symmetry is a useful procedure to select models motivated at a fundamental level, and to discover the exact solution to the given lagrangian. In this work, Noether symmetry in f(T) theory on a spatially homogeneous and anisotropic Bianchi type I universe is considered. We discuss the Lagrangian formalism of f(T) theory in anisotropic universe. The point-like Lagrangian is clearly constructed.The explicit form of f(T) theory and the corresponding exact solution are found by requirement of Noether symmetry and Noether charge. A power-law f(T), the same as the FRW universe, can satisfy the required Noether symmetry in the anisotropic universe with power- law scale factor. It is regarded that positive expansion is satisfied by a constrain between parameters.

description: We derive the modulation equations or Whitham equations for the Camassa--Holm (CH) equation. We show that the modulation equations are hyperbolic and admit bi-Hamiltonian structure. Furthermore they are connected by a reciprocal transformation to the modulation equations of the first negative flow of the Korteweg de Vries (KdV) equation. The reciprocal transformation is generated by the Casimir of the second Poisson bracket of the KdV averaged flow. We show that the geometry of the bi-Hamiltonian structure of the KdV and CH modulation equations is quite different: indeed the KdV averaged bi-Hamiltonian structure can always be related to a semisimple Frobenius manifold while the CH one cannot.

Rutilus rutilus

description: Rutilus rutilus has been introduced into several southern perialpine lakes and was recorded by Projet Lac in lakes Lugano, Maggiore, Varese, Como and Mezzola. R. rutilus strongly numerically dominated the native Rutilus spp in lakes Lugano and Maggiore, and this northern species was the only Rutilus species recorded in Lake Varese. Interestingly, the introduced R. rutilus was less abundant than the two native Rutilus species in Lakes Como and Mezzola, and it was not recorded in lakes Idro, Iseo and Garda. The presence of native triotto (R. aula) was recorded in all southern perialpine lakes, except Lugano and Varese. R. aula was particularly abundant in lakes Garda and Iseo, and was the only Rutilus species recorded in Lakes Garda, Iseo and Idro. In Lake Lugano, on the other hand, the only trace of R. aula among the many non-native R. rutilus were three individuals with meristic traits of R. aula (9.5 branched rays in dorsal and anal fins, versus 10.5 in R. rutilus), that though otherwise looked more like R. rutilus. R. aula was very rare in Lake Maggiore, with only four individuals phenotypically identified as this species (versus more than one thousand R. rutilus). Three of these fish were confirmed as R. aula by mitochondrial barcoding (the fourth was not barcoded). On the other hand, one fish from Maggiore that phenotypically matched R. rutilus (out of four barcoded R. rutilus), had the mitochondrial barcode of R. aula. This suggests that hybridisation and backcrossing of hybrids between native R. aula and invasive R. rutilus is occurring.

description: The unique capability of the Swift satellite to perform a prompt and autonomous slew to a newly detected Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) has yielded the discovery of interesting new properties of GRB X-ray afterglows, such as the steep early lightcurve decay and the frequent presence of flares detected up to a few hours after the GRB trigger. We present observations of GRB 050607, the fourth case of a GRB discovered by Swift with flares superimposed on the overall fading X-ray afterglow. The flares of GRB 050607 were not symmetric as in previously reported cases, showing a very steep rise and a shallower decay, similar to the Fast Rise, Exponential Decay that are frequently observed in the gamma-ray prompt emission. The brighter flare had a flux increase by a factor of approximately 25,peaking for 30 seconds at a count rate of approximately 30 counts s-1, and it presented hints of addition short time scale activity during the decay phase. There is evidence of spectral evolution during the flares. In particular, at the onset of the flares the observed emission was harder, with a gradual softening as each flare decayed. The very short time scale and the spectral variability during the flaring activity are indicators of possible extended periods of energy emission by the GRB central engine. The flares were followed by a phase of shallow decay, during which the forward shock was being refreshed by a long-lived central engine or by shells of lower Lorentz factors, and by a steepening after approximately 12 ks to a decay slope considered typical of X-ray afterglows.

description: Several factors contribute to the appearance of an object in a visual scene, including pose, illumination, and deformation, among others. Each factor accounts for a source of variability in the data, while the multiplicative interactions of these factors emulate the entangled variability, giving rise to the rich structure of visual object appearance. Disentangling such unobserved factors from visual data is a challenging task, especially when the data have been captured in uncontrolled recording conditions (also referred to as "in-the-wild") and label information is not available. In this paper, we propose the first unsupervised deep learning method (with pseudo-supervision) for disentangling multiple latent factors of variation in face images captured in-the-wild. To this end, we propose a deep latent variable model, where the multiplicative interactions of multiple latent factors of variation are explicitly modelled by means of multilinear (tensor) structure. We demonstrate that the proposed approach indeed learns disentangled representations of facial expressions and pose, which can be used in various applications, including face editing, as well as 3D face reconstruction and classification of facial expression, identity and pose.

description: Heavy-meson semileptonic decays calculations on the lattice are reviewed. The focus is upon obtaining reliable matrix elements. Errors that depend upon the lattice spacing, $a$, are an important source of systematic error. Full $O(a)$ improvement of matrix elements for arbitrary-mass four-component quarks is discussed. With improvement, bottom-quark matrix elements can be calculated directly using current lattices. Momentum dependent errors for $O(a)$-improved quarks and statistical noise limit momenta to around 1 GeV/c with current lattices. Hence, maximum recoil momenta can be reached for $D$ decays while only a fraction of the maximum recoil momentum can be reliably studied for the light-meson decay modes of the $B$. Differential decay rates and partial widths are phenomenologically important quantities in $B$ decays that can be reliably determined with present lattices.

description: Articular cartilage damaged through trauma or disease has a limited ability to repair. Untreated, focal lesions progress to generalized changes including osteoarthritis. Musculoskeletal disorders including osteoarthritis are the most significant contributor to disability globally. There is increasing interest in the use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for the treatment of focal chondral lesions. There is some evidence to suggest that the tissue type from which MSCs are harvested play a role in determining their ability to regenerate cartilage in vitro and in vivo. In humans, MSCs derived from synovial tissue may have superior chondrogenic potential. We carried out a systematic literature review on the effectiveness of synovium-derived MSCs (sMSCs) in cartilage regeneration in in vivo studies in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) protocol. Twenty studies were included in our review; four examined the use of human sMSCs and 16 were conducted using sMSCs harvested from animals. Most studies reported successful cartilage repair with sMSC transplantation despite the variability of animals, cell harvesting techniques, methods of delivery, and outcome measures. We conclude that sMSC transplantation holds promise as a treatment option for focal cartilage defects. We believe that defining the cell population being used, establishing standardized methods for MSC delivery, and the use of objective outcome measures should enable future high quality studies such as randomized controlled clinical trials to provide the evidence needed to manage chondral lesions optimally.
