description: This work consists two parts. In the first part, we completely study the heat equation method of Menikoff-Sjostrand and apply it to the Kohn Laplacian defined on a compact orientable connected CR manifold. We then get the full asymptotic expansion of the Szego projection for (0,q) forms when the Levi formis nondegenerate. This generalizes a result of Boutet de Monvel and Sjostrand for (0,0) forms. Our main tool is Fourier integral operators with complex valued phase functions of Melin and Sjostrand. In the second part, we obtain the full asymptotic expansion of the Bergman projection for (0,q) forms when the Levi form is non-degenerate. This also generalizes a result of Boutet de Monvel and Sjostrand for (0,0) forms. We introduce a new operator analogous to the Kohn Laplacian defined on the boundary of a domain and we apply the heat equation method of Menikoff and Sjostrand to this operator. We obtain a description of a new Szego projection up to smoothing operators. Finally, by using the Poisson operator, we get our main result.

Is the centrality dependence of the elliptic flow $v_2$ and of the average $$ in RHIC experiments more than a Core-Corona Effect?

description: Recently we have shown that the centrality dependence of the multiplicity of different hadron species observed in RHIC and SPS experiments can be well understood in a simple model, dubbed core-corona model. There it is assumed that those incoming nucleons which scatter only once produce hadrons as in pp collisions whereas those which scatter more often form an equilibrated source which decays according to phase space. In this article we show that also kinematical variables like $v_2/ε_{part} (N_{part})$ as well as $v_2^i/ε_{part} (N_{part})$ and $$ of identified particles are well described in this model. The correlation of $$ between peripheral heavy ion collisions and pp collisions for different hadrons, reproduced in this model, questions whether hydrodynamical calculations are the proper tool to describe non-central heavy ion collision. The model explains as well the centrality dependence of $v_2/ε_{part}$ of charged particles, considered up to now as an observable which allows to determine the viscosity of the quark gluon plasma. The observed dependence of $v_2^i/ε_{part}(N_{part})$ on the particle species is a simple consequence of the different ratios of core to corona particles.

description: This thesis addresses the role for vitamin A in regulating newly discovered immune cells that uniquely reside long-term in tissues of the body. A role for vitamin A in immune function has been long appreciated, however the mechanisms that regulate tissue-resident immune cells remain poorly understood. This thesis shows that vitamin A has an important role in regulating such cells in mice, predominantly via the activation of HIC1, a protein that controls gene expression. Furthering the understanding of these cells will inform future therapeutic approaches aimed at modulating immune responses in a localised manner.

title: Livestock Depredation by Leopards, Associated Economic Losses, and Financial Compensation to Communities in Chhota Udepur District of Central Gujarat, India

description: Livestock depredation by large carnivores has been documented across the entire Indian subcontinent. The failure of managers to mitigate livestock losses in landscapes dependent on subsistence agriculture poses a threat to the conservation of carnivores. For much of Gujarat, a western Indian state characterized by extensive semi-arid habitats, the Indian leopard (Panthera pardus fusca) is considered an apex predator. Increasing regional leopard populations in response to protection efforts has led to more attacks on humans, along with an increase in rates of livestock depredation. In many cases, the regional forest department financially compensates livestock owners for depredation caused by leopards. Herein, we report on data we collected on leopard-caused livestock depredations in the Chhota Udepur district of Gujarat for 2019–2020. Between November 2020 and March 2021, we recorded 104 distinct cases of leopard depredations that resulted in 134 livestock mortalities. Most attacks occurred in the middle of the night, with the greatest frequency occurring between 2100 and 0400 hours (n = 53). Interestingly, livestock depredations by leopards appeared to occur more in the monsoon season (66%) than during the drier seasons (Fisher’s least significant difference [LSD], P < 0.05). We also found that not everyone enduring losses to leopards received full compensation for the value of their animals. Livestock kept in corrals at night were more vulnerable to leopard attack (R2 = 38.6, P = 0.01) compared to free-ranging livestock foraging by day in farms and forests. We recommend that livestock compensation claims filed by communities be investigated and processed quickly and that compensation be based on fair value for domestic animals lost. To better understand the drivers of human–leopard conflict, we also encourage rigorous surveys of potential leopard prey species in forested areas adjacent to conflict hotspots as well as research to identify the most effective methods communities might use to safeguard their livestock.

description: Phase 1: To validate Near-Infrared Reflectance Analysis (NIRA) as a fast, reliable and suitable method for routine evaluation of human milk’s nitrogen and fat content.
Phase 2: To determine whether fat content, protein content and osmolality of HM before and after fortification may affect gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in symptomatic preterm infants.
Patients and Methods: Phase 1: 124 samples of expressed human milk (55 from preterm mothers and 69 from term
mothers) were used to validate NIRA against traditional methods (Gerber method for fat and Kjeldhal method for nitrogen).
Phase 2: GER was evaluated in 17 symptomatic preterm newborns fed naïve and fortified HM by combined pH/intraluminal-impedance monitoring (pH-MII). HM fat and protein content was analysed by a Near-Infrared-Reflectance-Analysis (NIRA). HM osmolality was tested before and
after fortification. GER indexes measured before and after fortification were compared, and were also related with HM fat and protein content and osmolality before and after fortification.
Results: Phase 1:
· A strong agreement was found between traditional methods’ and NIRA’s results (expressed as g/100 g of milk), both for fat and nitrogen content in term (mean fat content: NIRA=2.76; Gerber=2.76; mean nitrogen content: NIRA=1.88; Kjeldhal =1.92) and preterm (mean fat content: NIRA=3.56; Kjeldhal=3.52; mean nitrogen content: NIRA=1.91; Kjeldhal =1.89) mother’s milk.
· Nitrogen content of the milk samples, measured by NIRA, ranged from 1.18 to 2.71 g/100 g of milk in preterm milk and from 1.48 to 2.47 in term milk; fat content ranged from 1.27 to 6.23 g/100 g of milk in preterm milk and from 1.01 to 6.01 g/100 g of milk in term milk.
Phase 2:
· An inverse correlation was found between naïve HM protein content and acid reflux index
(RIpH: p=0.041, rho=-0.501).
· After fortification, osmolality often exceeded the values recommended for infant feeds;

description: Aims: Patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) have an increased risk of ischaemic stroke. We aimed to identify the incidence rate and factors associated with ischaemic stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA) in CHF patients as well as the impact of non-invasive telemedical care (NITC) on acute stroke/TIA. Methods and results: We retrospectively analysed baseline characteristics of 2248 CHF patients enrolled to the prospective multicentre Telemedical Interventional Monitoring in Heart Failure study (TIM-HF) and Telemedical Interventional Management in Heart Failure II study (TIM-HF2), randomizing New York Heart Association (NYHA) II/III patients 1:1 to NITC or standard of care. Hospitalizations due to acute ischaemic stroke or TIA during a follow-up of 12 months were analysed. Old age, hyperlipidaemia, lower body mass index, and peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) were independently associated with present cerebrovascular disease on enrolment. The stroke/TIA rate was 1.5 per 100 patients-years within 12 months after randomization (n = 32, 1.4%). Rate of stroke/TIA within 12 months was in the intervention group similar compared with the control group (50.0% vs. 49.8%; P = 0.98) despite that the rate of newly detected atrial fibrillation (AF) was higher in the intervention group (14.1% vs. 1.6%; P < 0.001). A history of PAOD (OR 2.7, 95% CI 1.2–6.2; P = 0.02) and the highest tertile (OR 3.0, 95% CI 1.1–8.3) of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) on enrolment were associated with stroke/TIA during follow-up. In patients who suffered acute stroke or TIA during follow-up, echocardiography was part of the diagnostic workup in only 56% after hospital admission. Conclusions: Annual rate of ischaemic stroke/TIA in NYHA II/III patients is low but higher in those with elevated NT-proBNP levels and history of PAOD at baseline. NITC showed no impact on the stroke rate during 1 year follow-up despite a significantly higher rate of newly detected AF. Irrespective of known CHF, echocardiography was often missing during in-hospital diagnostic workup after acute stroke/TIA.

description: We present an end-to-end online motion planning framework that uses a data-driven approach to navigate a heterogeneous robot team towards a global goal while avoiding obstacles in uncertain environments. First, we use stochastic model predictive control (SMPC) to calculate control inputs that satisfy robot dynamics, and consider uncertainty during obstacle avoidance with chance constraints. Second, recurrent neural networks are used to provide a quick estimate of future state uncertainty considered in the SMPC finite-time horizon solution, which are trained on uncertainty outputs of various simultaneous localization and mapping algorithms. When two or more robots are in communication range, these uncertainties are then updated using a distributed Kalman filtering approach. Lastly, a Deep Q-learning agent is employed to serve as a high-level path planner, providing the SMPC with target positions that move the robots towards a desired global goal. Our complete methods are demonstrated on a ground and aerial robot simultaneously (code available at: https://github.com/AlexS28/SABER).

description: The prevailing view suggests that the Eemian interglacial on the European Plain was characterized by largely negligible geomorphic activity beyond the coastal areas. However, systematic geomorphological studies are sparse. Here we present a detailed reconstruction of Eemian to Early Weichselian landscape evolution in the vicinity of a small fingerlake on the northern margin of the Salzwedel Palaeolake in Lower Saxony (Germany). We apply a combination of seismics, sediment coring, pollen analysis and luminescence dating on a complex sequence of colluvial, paludal and lacustrine sediments. Results suggest two pronounced phases of geomorphic activity, directly before the onset and at the end of the Eemian period, with an intermediate period of pronounced landscape stability. The dynamic phases were largely driven by incomplete vegetation cover, but likely accentuated by fluvial incision in the neighbouring Elbe Valley. Furthermore, we discovered Neanderthal occupation at the lakeshore during Eemian pollen zone (PZ) E IV, which is chronologically in line with other known Eemian sites of central Europe. Our highly-resolved spatio-temporal data substantially contribute to the understanding of climate-induced geomorphic processes throughout and directly after the last interglacial period. It helps unraveling the landscape dynamics between the coastal areas to the north and the loess belt to the south.
Characteristic Evolution and Matching

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: I review the development of numerical evolution codes for general relativity based upon the characteristic initial value problem. Progress in characteristic evolution is traced from the early stage of 1D feasibility studies to 2D axisymmetric codes that accurately simulate the oscillations and gravitational collapse of relativistic stars and to current 3D codes that provide pieces of a binary black hole spacetime. Cauchy codes have now been successful at simulating all aspects of the binary black hole problem inside an artificially constructed outer boundary. A prime application of characteristic evolution is to extend such simulations to null infinity where the waveform from the binary inspiral and merger can be unambiguously computed. This has now been accomplished by Cauchy-characteristic extraction, where data for the characteristic evolution is supplied by Cauchy data on an extraction worldtube inside the artificial outer boundary. The ultimate application of characteristic evolution is to eliminate the role of this outer boundary by constructing a global solution via Cauchy-characteristic matching. Progress in this direction is discussed.

description: We calculate the $p_T$ distributions of jet conversion photons from {\em Quark Gluon Plasma} with pre-equilibrium momentum-space anisotropy. A phenomenological model has been used for the time evolution of hard momentum scale $p_{\rm hard}(τ)$ and anisotropy parameter $ξ(τ)$. As a result of pre-equilibrium momentum-space anisotropy, we find significant modification of the jet conversion photon $p_T$ distribution. For example, with {\em fixed initial condition} (FIC) pre-equilibrium anisotropy, we predict significant enhancement of the jet-photon $p_T$ distribution in the entire region, whereas for pre-equilibrium anisotropy with {\em fixed final multiplicity} (FFM), suppression of the jet conversion photons $p_T$ distribution is observed. The results with FFM (as it is the most realistic situation) have been compared with high $p_T$ PHENIX photon data. It is found that the data is reproduced well if the isotropization time lies within $1.5$ fm/c.

description: The photoluminescence spectrum of silicon doped with phosphorus, boron, aluminum and gallium impurities is studied in the 1.6 to 27 K temperature range. New structure is observed in the spectra of silicon doped with each of these impurities. These studies strongly support the bound multiexciton complex explanation of the line series observed in lightly doped silicon, an explanation which has recently been questioned. Many of the recent predictions of the structure of these complexes are verified. In particular, a bound excited state of the phosphorus bound exciton is reported for the first time. Similarly, it is shown that many of the bound multiexciton complexes also have such excited states, and the importance of these excited states in the determination of the binding energies of the complexes is demonstrated. The broadenings of the phonon-assisted bound exciton lines in silicon are studied for the first time and the first direct observation of the effects of the free exciton ground state splitting in silicon are reported.

description: In the ventriloquist illusion, spatially disparate visual signals can influence the perceived location of simultaneous sounds. Previous studies have shown asymmetrical responses in auditory cortical regions following perceived peripheral sound shifts. Moreover, higher-order cortical areas perform inferences on the sources of disparate audiovisual signals. Recent studies have also highlighted top-down influence in the ventriloquist illusion and postulated a governing function of neural oscillations for crossmodal processing. In this EEG study, we analyzed source-reconstructed neural oscillations to address the question of whether perceived sound shifts affect the laterality of auditory responses. Moreover, we investigated the modulation of neural oscillations related to the occurrence of the illusion more generally. With respect to the first question, we did not find evidence for significant changes in the laterality of auditory responses due to perceived sound shifts. However, we found a sustained reduction of mediofrontal theta-band power starting prior to stimulus onset when participants perceived the illusion compared to when they did not perceive the illusion. We suggest that this effect reflects a state of diminished cognitive control, leading to reliance on more readily discriminable visual information and increased crossmodal influence. We conclude that mediofrontal theta-band oscillations serve as a neural mechanism underlying top-down modulation of crossmodal processing in the ventriloquist illusion.

description: Quantum key distribution (QKD) is a secure key generation method between two distant parties by wisely exploiting properties of quantum mechanics. In QKD, experimental measurement outcomes on quantum states are transformed by the two parties to a secret key. This transformation is composed of many logical steps (as guided by security proofs), which together will ultimately determine the length of the final secret key and its security. We detail the procedure for performing such classical post-processing taking into account practical concerns (including the finite-size effect and authentication and encryption for classical communications). This procedure is directly applicable to realistic QKD experiments, and thus serves as a recipe that specifies what post-processing operations are needed and what the security level is for certain lengths of the keys. Our result is applicable to the BB84 protocol with a single or entangled photon source.

description: Part of a collection of correspondence from Kathleen Raine to Robin Skelton. Skelton was a British poet, academic, anthologist, and practicing Wiccan. He taught at Manchester University before emigrating to Canada in 1963, where he taught creative writing at the University of Victoria and started the literary magazine The Malahat Review. Also included are some letters to Skelton’s wife Sylvia, and his daughters. Spanning close to forty-five years, the correspondence discusses poetry, writing, and philosophy; particularly Platonism and Neoplatonism. Raine often refers to the writings of William Blake and W. B. Yeats. Many letters also mention contemporary literary figures at the time including: Herbert Read, Peter Russell, Liam Miller, and Thurairajah Tambimuttu. In this letter to Sylvia Skelton, Raine passes along an Eric Gill book that arrived for Brian Keeble.

description: 1. Social networks are considered to be ‘highly modular’ when individuals within one module are more connected to each other than they are to individuals in other modules. It is currently unclear how highly modular social networks influence the persistence of contagious pathogens that generate lifelong immunity in their hosts when between-group interactions are age dependent. This trait occurs in social species with communal nurseries, where juveniles are reared together for a substantial period in burrows or similar forms of containment and are thus in isolation from contact with individuals in other social groups. 2. Our main objective was to determine whether, and to what extent, such age-dependent patterns of between-group interactions consistently increased the fade-out probability of contagious pathogens that generate lifelong immunity in their hosts. We hypothesised that in populations of species where juveniles are raised in communal nurseries, a high proportion of recovered adults in a group would form a ‘protective barrier’ around susceptible juveniles against pathogen transmission, thereby increasing the probability of epidemic fade-out in the population. 3. To test this idea, we implemented a spatially implicit individual-based susceptible–infected–recovered (SIR) model for a large range of generic host and pathogen traits. 4. Our results indicated that (a) the probability of epidemic fade-out was consistently higher in populations with communal nurseries, especially for highly contagious pathogens (high basic reproduction number, R0) and (b) communal nurseries can counteract the cost of group living in terms of infection risk to a greater extent than variation in other traits. 5. We discuss our findings in relation to herd immunity and outline the importance of considering the network structure of a given host population before implementing management measures such as vaccinations, since interventions focused on individuals with high between-group contact should be particularly effective for controlling pathogen spread in hosts with communal nurseries.

description: Flavocoenzymes are nearly ubiquitous cofactors that are involved in the catalysis and regulation of a wide range of biological processes including some light-induced ones, such as the photolyase-mediated DNA repair, magnetoreception of migratory birds, and the blue-light driven phototropism in plants. One of the factors that enable versatile flavin-coenzyme biochemistry and biophysics is the fine-tuning of the cofactor’s frontier orbital by interactions with the protein environment. Probing the singly-occupied molecular orbital (SOMO) of the intermediate radical state of flavins is therefore a prerequisite for a thorough understanding of the diverse functions of the flavoprotein family. This may be ultimately achieved by unravelling the hyperfine structure of a flavin by electron paramagnetic resonance. In this contribution we present a rigorous approach to obtaining a hyperfine map of the flavin’s chromophoric 7,8-dimethyl isoalloxazine unit at an as yet unprecedented level of resolution and accuracy. We combine powerful high-microwave-frequency/high-magnetic-field electron–nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) with 13C isotopologue editing as well as spectral simulations and density functional theory calculations to measure and analyse 13C hyperfine couplings of the flavin cofactor in DNA photolyase. Our data will provide the basis for electronic structure considerations for a number of flavin radical intermediates occurring in blue-light photoreceptor proteins.

description: We extend our previous calculation of the quasi-local contribution to the self-force on a scalar particle to general (not necessarily geodesic) motion in a general spacetime. In addition to the general case and the case of a particle at rest in a stationary spacetime, we consider as examples a particle held at rest in Reissner-Nordstrom and Kerr-Newman space-times. This allows us to most easily analyse the effect of non-geodesic motion on our previous results and also allows for comparison to existing results for Schwarzschild spacetime.

description: Tibetan is a low-resource language. In order to alleviate the shortage of parallel corpus between Tibetan and Chinese, this paper uses two monolingual corpora and a small number of seed dictionaries to learn the semi-supervised method with seed dictionaries and self-supervised adversarial training method through the similarity calculation of word clusters in different embedded spaces and puts forward an improved self-supervised adversarial learning method of Tibetan and Chinese monolingual data alignment only. The experimental results are as follows. First, the experimental results of Tibetan syllables Chinese characters are not good, which reflects the weak semantic correlation between Tibetan syllables and Chinese characters; second, the seed dictionary of semi-supervised method made before 10 predicted word accuracy of 66.5 (Tibetan - Chinese) and 74.8 (Chinese - Tibetan) results, to improve the self-supervision methods in both language directions have reached 53.5 accuracy.
