SUBAPERTURE ADAPTIVE OPTICS

description: The steep falloff of Strehl ratios to short wavelengths has largely limited adaptive optics (AO) systems on ground-based telescopes to red and longer wavelengths. However, improved wavefront correction can enable partial AO correction across the full optical regime. A simple approach to improved wavefront correction is to use an AO system\'s deformable mirror to correct a telescope subaperture instead of the entire pupil. This approach was implemented as the 1.5 m Well-Corrected Subaperture (WCS) on the Palomar Hale telescope by installing an additional optical relay between the telescope pupil and the deformable mirror. Here we report AO-corrected images of close binaries in the B band that were acquired with the WCS. Several known binaries and other multiple systems were resolved in the B-band, with measured angular separations ranging from 721 to 142 milli-arcseconds. Such a simple optical modification can thus be used to quickly implement a visible AO capability on any existing AO system. In particular, it can be used to rapidly implement visible AO imaging on the next generation of 30-m class ground-based telescopes, for which clear off-axis telescope subapertures can be significantly larger than coeval space-based telescopes.

description: The slow dynamics (10^-6 s - 10^4 s) of the magnetization in the paramagnetic phase, predicted by Glauber for 1d Ising ferromagnets, has been observed with ac susceptibility and SQUID magnetometry measurements in a molecular chain comprising alternating Co{2+} spins and organic radical spins strongly antiferromagnetically coupled. An Arrhenius behavior with activation energy Delta=152 K has been observed for ten decades of relaxation time and found to be consistent with the Glauber model. We have extended this model to take into account the ferrimagnetic nature of the chain as well as its helicoidal structure.

description: The current paper investigates the medium term impact of climate changes on EU agriculture. We employ CAPRI partial equilibrium modelling framework. The results indicate that within the EU, there will be both winners and losers, with some regions benefitting from climate change, while other regions suffering losses in production and welfare. In general, there are relatively small market effects at the EU aggregate. For example, the value of total agricultural income, land use and welfare change by approximately between -0.3% and 2%. However, there is a stronger impact at regional level with the effects increase by a factor higher than 10 relative to the aggregate EU impacts. The price adjustments reduce the response of agricultural sector to climate change in particular with respect to production and income changes.

description: Simulations of magnetohydrodynamics convection in slowly rotating stars predict anti-solar differential rotation (DR) in which the equator rotates slower than poles. This anti-solar DR in the usual $αΩ$ dynamo model does not produce polarity reversal. Thus, the features of large-scale magnetic fields in slowly rotating stars are expected to be different than stars having solar-like DR. In this study, we perform mean-field kinematic dynamo modelling of different stars at different rotation periods. We consider anti-solar DR for the stars having rotation period larger than 30~days and solar-like DR otherwise. We show that with particular $α$ profiles, the dynamo model produces magnetic cycles with polarity reversals even with the anti-solar DR provided, the DR is quenched when the toroidal field grows considerably high and there is a sufficiently strong $α$ for the generation of toroidal field. Due to the anti-solar DR, the model produces an abrupt increase of magnetic field exactly when the DR profile is changed from solar-like to anti-solar. This enhancement of magnetic field is in good agreement with the stellar observational data as well as some global convection simulations. In the solar-like DR branch, with the decreasing rotation period, we find the magnetic field strength increases while the cycle period shortens. Both of these trends are in general agreement with observations. Our study provides additional support for the possible existence of anti-solar DR in slowly rotating stars and the presence of unusually enhanced magnetic fields and possibly cycles which are prone to production of superflare.

description: Financially the repercussions of the economic and financial crisis will strongly limit the increase of the budget. Of the budget of the EU surely the euro crisis will enhance the pressure even more. On top of that new policy priorities like energy, climate and infrastructure will demand substantial means. So the budget for the CAP will become under serious pressure. It is not to bold to expect a 10 to 20% cut will be the target for the next budget period after 2013.

description: A generalization of the Renormalization Group, which describes order-parameter fluctuations in finite systems, is developed in the specific context of percolation. This ``Stochastic Renormalization Group'' (SRG) expresses statistical self-similarity through a non-stationary branching process. The SRG provides a theoretical basis for analytical or numerical approximations, both at and away from criticality, whenever the correlation length is much larger than the lattice spacing (regardless of the system size). For example, the SRG predicts order-parameter distributions and finite-size scaling functions for the complete crossover between phases. For percolation, the simplest SRG describes structural quantities conditional on spanning, such as the total cluster mass or the minimum chemical distance between two boundaries. In these cases, the Central Limit Theorem (for independent random variables) holds at the stable, off-critical fixed points, while a ``Fractal Central Limit Theorem'' (describing long-range correlations) holds at the unstable, critical fixed point. This first part of a series of articles explains these basic concepts and a general theory of crossover. Subsequent parts will focus on limit theorems and comparisons of small-cell SRG approximations with simulation results.

description: It was shown recently that Weyl fermions in a superconducting vortex lattice can condense into Landau levels. Here we study the chiral magnetic effect in the lowest Landau level: The appearance of an equilibrium current $I$ along the lines of magnetic flux $Φ$, due to an imbalance between Weyl fermions of opposite chirality. A universal contribution $dI/dΦ=(e/h)^2μ$ (at equilibrium chemical potential $μ$ relative to the Weyl point) appears when quasiparticles of one of the two chiralities are confined in vortex cores. The confined states are charge-neutral Majorana fermions.

 Ylistrum Mynhardt & Alejandrino in Mynhardt et al., 2014: 407. Type species (by original designation): Pecten balloti Bernardi, 1861; Pliocene to living, Southwest Pacific.
 Diagnosis. Amusiini with (sub)circular shape, up to c. 140 mm high, very weakly inflated, both valves slightly convex; umbonal angle c. 140°; exterior surface of disc and auricles smooth, interior with c. 42–54 narrow, prominent radial riblets arranged irregularly or in vaguely discernable pairs; auricles equal in length, intermediate hinge teeth absent, byssal notch and ctenolium weak in early ontogeny, absent later.
 Distribution. Middle Miocene–Recent. The earliest species referable to Ylistrum seems to be Amusium morganense Beu & Darragh (2001: 175, figs 64A, F, 65A–E), from Morgan Limestone (Balcombian Australian local stage, middle Miocene), River Murray cliffs near Blanchetown, South Australia, and Nullarbor Limestone (also Balcombian), Nullarbor Plain, southern Western Australia. Ylistrum morganense is smaller and has larger auricles and much more closely paired internal rib carinae than Y. balloti. Tropical and subtropical Indo-West Pacific, living littorally.
 Discussion.As discussed under Annachlamys and Amusium, we retain Ylistrum in Amusiini at present, awaiting a more final molecular phylogeny of Pectinidae.

The RVB state, described by the phase-string mean field theory is characterized by three important features: (i) spin-charge separation, (ii) short range antiferromagnetic correlations, and (iii) holon condensation. The results of our calculation are in good agreement with data obtained from Angle Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy (ARPES) in superconducting Bi 2212 at optimal doping concentration.

description: Slow adoption rates of Agricultural technologies continue to beset Africa’s food insecurity reduction efforts and economic development generally. Household survey data and focus group discussions were used to identify determinants of adoption of tissue culture bananas among smallholder farmers in Western Kenya. Logit analysis shows that gender, off-farm employment, household size, education level, age, land size, off farm income and extension services had significant influence on adoption of tissue culture banana production. More significant is sustainable access to Tissue culture plantlets which is a crucial input. Successful interventions should target youth, women famers and access to extension information. Policies targeting land consolidation will also help increase technology adoption.

Another approach for the Hubbard model also satisfies conservation laws, but in addition it satisfies the Pauli principle and a number of sum rules. A concise formal derivation of that approach, using functional derivatives, is given in this conference paper to highlight formal analogies and differences with conserving approximations.

description: Advances in multicore processors and accelerators have opened the flood gates to greater exploration and application of machine learning techniques to a variety of applications. These advances, along with breakdowns of several trends including Moore's Law, have prompted an explosion of processors and accelerators that promise even greater computational and machine learning capabilities. These processors and accelerators are coming in many forms, from CPUs and GPUs to ASICs, FPGAs, and dataflow accelerators. This paper surveys the current state of these processors and accelerators that have been publicly announced with performance and power consumption numbers. The performance and power values are plotted on a scatter graph and a number of dimensions and observations from the trends on this plot are discussed and analyzed. For instance, there are interesting trends in the plot regarding power consumption, numerical precision, and inference versus training. We then select and benchmark two commercially-available low size, weight, and power (SWaP) accelerators as these processors are the most interesting for embedded and mobile machine learning inference applications that are most applicable to the DoD and other SWaP constrained users. We determine how they actually perform with real-world images and neural network models, compare those results to the reported performance and power consumption values and evaluate them against an Intel CPU that is used in some embedded applications.

description: A magnitude limited sample of nearly 9000 early-type galaxies, in the redshift range 0.01 < z < 0.3, was selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey using morphological and spectral criteria. The Fundamental Plane relation in this sample is R_o ~ sigma^{1.49\pm 0.05} I_o^{-0.75\pm 0.01} in the r* band. It is approximately the same in the g*, i* and z* bands. Relative to the population at the median redshift in the sample, galaxies at lower and higher redshifts have evolved only little. If the Fundamental Plane is used to quantify this evolution then the apparent magnitude limit can masquerade as evolution; once this selection effect has been accounted for, the evolution is consistent with that of a passively evolving population which formed the bulk of its stars about 9 Gyrs ago. One of the principal advangtages of the SDSS sample over previous samples is that the galaxies in it lie in environments ranging from isolation in the field to the dense cores of clusters. The Fundamental Plane shows that galaxies in dense regions are slightly different from galaxies in less dense regions.

description: Glioma is one of the most common types of brain tumors; it arises in the glial cells in the human brain and in the spinal cord. In addition to having a high mortality rate, glioma treatment is also very expensive. Hence, automatic and accurate segmentation and measurement from the early stages are critical in order to prolong the survival rates of the patients and to reduce the costs of the treatment. In the present work, we propose a novel end-to-end cascaded network for semantic segmentation that utilizes the hierarchical structure of the tumor sub-regions with ResNet-like blocks and Squeeze-and-Excitation modules after each convolution and concatenation block. By utilizing cross-validation, an average ensemble technique, and a simple post-processing technique, we obtained dice scores of 88.06, 80.84, and 80.29, and Hausdorff Distances (95th percentile) of 6.10, 5.17, and 2.21 for the whole tumor, tumor core, and enhancing tumor, respectively, on the online test set.

description: We discuss electron transport in individual nanometer-scale metallic grains at dilution refrigerator temperatures. In the weak coupling regime, the grains exhibit Coulomb blockade and discrete energy levels. Electron-electron interactions lead to clustering and broadening of quasiparticle states. Magnetic field dependences of tunneling resonances directly reveal Kramers degeneracy and Lande g-factors. In grains of Au, which have strong spin-orbit interaction, g-factors are strongly suppressed from the free electron value. We have recently studied grains in the strong coupling regime. Coulomb blockade persists in this regime. It leads to a suppression in sample conductance at zero bias voltage at low temperatures. The conductance fluctuates with the applied magnetic field near zero bias voltage. We present evidence that the fluctuations are induced by electron spin. This paper reviews the evolving progress in interpreting these observations.
description: Since the original submission, we have gathered data in weak coupling regime, showing that our initial speculation - that the conductance dip is due to EE interactions in the Altshuler-Aronov sense - is not correct. Instead, it is caused by the Coulomb Blockade.

description: We report Cu nuclear quadrupole resonance experiment on magnetic impurity Ni-substituted YBa$_2$Cu$_{3-x}$Ni$_x$O$_{7-δ}$. The distribution of Ni-substituted sites and its effect on the Cu electron spin dynamics are investigated. Two samples with the same Ni concentration $x$=0.10 and nearly the same oxygen content but different $T_c$'s were prepared: One is an as-synthesized sample (7-$δ$=6.93) in air ($T_c$$\approx 80 K$), and the other is a quenched one (7-$δ$=6.92) in a reduced oxygen atmosphere ($T_c$$\approx 70 K$). The plane-site $^{63}$Cu(2) nuclear spin-lattice relaxation for the quenched sample was faster than that for the as-synthesized sample, in contrast to the $^{63}$Cu(1) relaxation that was faster for the as-synthesized sample. This indicates that the density of plane-site Ni(2) is higher in the quenched sample, contrary to the chain-site Ni(1) density which is lower in the quenched sample. From the analysis in terms of the Ni-induced nuclear spin-lattice relaxation, we suggest that the primary origin of suppression of $T_c$ is associated with nonmagnetic depairing effect of the plane-site Ni(2).

description: Online decision making aims to learn the optimal decision rule by making personalized decisions and updating the decision rule recursively. It has become easier than before with the help of big data, but new challenges also come along. Since the decision rule should be updated once per step, an offline update which uses all the historical data is inefficient in computation and storage. To this end, we propose a completely online algorithm that can make decisions and update the decision rule online via stochastic gradient descent. It is not only efficient but also supports all kinds of parametric reward models. Focusing on the statistical inference of online decision making, we establish the asymptotic normality of the parameter estimator produced by our algorithm and the online inverse probability weighted value estimator we used to estimate the optimal value. Online plugin estimators for the variance of the parameter and value estimators are also provided and shown to be consistent, so that interval estimation and hypothesis test are possible using our method. The proposed algorithm and theoretical results are tested by simulations and a real data application to news article recommendation.

Dislocation defect as a bulk probe of monopole charge of multi-Weyl semimetals

description: Multi-Weyl semimetals feature band crossings with the dispersion that is, in general, linear in only one direction, and as a consequence their band structure is characterized by the monopole charge $n$ which can be greater than one. We show that a single screw dislocation defect oriented in the direction connecting the nodal points, which acts as an effective pseudo-magnetic flux tube, can serve as a direct probe of the monopole charge $n\geq1$ characterizing the bulk band structure of a multi-Weyl semimetal. To this end, as a proof of principle, we propose a rather simple mesoscopic setup in which the monopole charge leaves a direct imprint on the conductance measured in the plane perpendicular to the dislocation. In particular, the ratio of the positions of the neighboring maxima in the conductance as a function of the gate voltage can serve to deduce the monopole charge, while the value of the effective pseudo-magnetic flux can be extracted from the position of a conductance maximum. We expect that these findings will prompt further studies on the role of multiple dislocations, as well as other topological lattice defects, such as grain boundaries and disclinations, in topological nodal materials.

description: Raman experiments on bulk FeSe revealed that the low-frequency part of $B_{1g}$ Raman response $R_{B_{1g}}$, which probes nematic fluctuations, rapidly decreases below the nematic transition at $T_n \sim 85$K. Such behavior is usually associated with the gap opening and at a first glance is inconsistent with the fact that FeSe remains a metal below $T_n$, with sizable hole and electron pockets. We argue that the drop of $R_{B_{1g}}$ in a nematic metal comes about because the nematic order drastically changes the orbital content of the pockets and makes them nearly mono-orbital. In this situation $B_{1g}$ Raman response gets reduced by the same vertex corrections that enforce charge conservation. The reduction holds at low frequencies and gives rise to gap-like behavior of $R_{B_{1g}}$, in full agreement with the experimental data.

description: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) has a low five-year survival rate, and its pathogenesis remains unclear. There is an urgent need to improve our understanding of the genetic regulation of NPC tumorigenesis and development. The role of miR-26a-5p in NPC growth regulation and the expression of its target, PTGS2, was analyzed. Quantitative Real-time PCR assay was used to detect miR-26a-5p and PTGS2 expression in human NPC tissues and cell lines. The RNA pull-down dual-luciferase reporter assay was used to determine the association between miR-26a-5p and PTGS2. The effects of miR-26a-5p and PTGS2 on NPC cell viability, proliferation, migration, and invasion were measured by CCK-8, BrdU, and Transwell assays. miR-26a-5p expression in NPC tissues and cell lines was significantly decreased. The overexpression of miR-26a-5p inhibited the viability, proliferation, migration, and invasion of NPC cells. miR-26a-5p bound to the 3-ʹuntranslated region of PTGS2, thus reducing PTGS2 protein levels. miR-26a-5p inhibited NPC development by reducing the expression of its target PTGS2.

description: Constructing agents with planning capabilities has long been one of the main challenges in the pursuit of artificial intelligence. Tree-based planning methods have enjoyed huge success in challenging domains, such as chess and Go, where a perfect simulator is available. However, in real-world problems the dynamics governing the environment are often complex and unknown. In this work we present the MuZero algorithm which, by combining a tree-based search with a learned model, achieves superhuman performance in a range of challenging and visually complex domains, without any knowledge of their underlying dynamics. MuZero learns a model that, when applied iteratively, predicts the quantities most directly relevant to planning: the reward, the action-selection policy, and the value function. When evaluated on 57 different Atari games - the canonical video game environment for testing AI techniques, in which model-based planning approaches have historically struggled - our new algorithm achieved a new state of the art. When evaluated on Go, chess and shogi, without any knowledge of the game rules, MuZero matched the superhuman performance of the AlphaZero algorithm that was supplied with the game rules.

Dephasing and thermal smearing in an electromechanical which-path device

description: In an electromechanical which-path device electrons travelling through an Aharonov-Bohm ring with a quantum dot in one of the arms are dephased by an interaction with the fundamental flexural mode of a radio-frequency cantilever, leading to a reduction in the visibilty of the interference fringes. However, at finite temperatures time-averaged measurement of the current leads to a fringe visibility which is reduced partly by dephasing of the electrons and partly by a thermal smearing effect. The balance between thermal smearing and dephasing predicted by a calculation depends very strongly on the choice of cantilever basis states used. The interaction between the cantilever and its environment is expected to select the coherent state basis for the cantilever and hence lead to a dephasing rate which is substantially lower than that which would arise if instead the Fock states were selected.

description: This contribution is the chapter 2 of the book "geodetic time series analysis" (10.1007/978-3-030-21718-1). The book is dedicated to the art of fitting a trajectory model to those geodetic time series in order to extract accurate geophysical information with realistic error bars in geodymanics and environmental geodesy related studies. In the vast amount of the literature published on this topic in the past 25 years, we are specifically interested in parametric algorithms which are estimating both functional and stochastic models using various Bayesian statistical tools (maximum likelihood, Monte Carlo Markov chain, Kalman filter, least squares variance component estimation, information criteria). This chapter will focus on how the parameters of the trajectory model can be estimated. It is meant to give researchers new to this topic an easy introduction to the theory with references to key books and articles where more details can be found. In addition, we hope that it refreshes some of the details for the more experienced readers. We pay special attention to the modelling of the noise which has received much attention in the literature in the last years and highlight some of the numerical aspects.

description: We prepared and characterized monofilamentary MgB2 wires with a mechanically reinforced composite sheath of Ta(Nb)/Cu/steel, which leads to dense filaments and correspondingly high transport currents up to Jc = 10^5 A/cm^2 at 4.2 K, self field. The reproducibility of the measured transport currents was excellent and not depending on the wire diameter. Using different precursors, commercial reacted powder or an unreacted Mg/B powder mixture, a strong influence on the pinning behaviour and the irreversibility field was observed. The critical transport current density showed a nearly linear temperature dependency for all wires being still 52 kA/cm^2 at 20 K and 23 kA/cm^2 at 30 K. Detailed data for Jc(B,T) and Tc(B) were measured.

 Rhytisternus Chaudoir, 1865: Essai sur les Féronides de l’Australie et de la Nouvelle-Zélande: 106. Type species: Feronia (Rhytisterna) liopleura Chaudoir, 1865, by subsequent designation (Britton, 1940).
 Diagnosis. Medium-sized to rather large species (in Pterostichini), characterized by bifid mental tooth, transversely striolate proepipleura, absence of the scutellary stria but presence of the scutellary pore on the elytra, usually incomplete striation of the elytra, absence of discal punctures and setae on the 3rd interval, and not transversely sulcate abdominal sterna. The latter character distinguishes the genus from the New Guinean genus Rhytiferonia Darlington, 1962, that likewise possesses transversely striolate proepipleura.
 The genus Rhytisternus presently includes 24 described species that are distributed through the whole of Australia, but have not been recorded elsewhere (Moore et al., 1985, Lorenz, 2005). The genus has not been recently revised, therefore the actual number of species may be considerably larger. Several species of Rhytisternus occur in the Northern Territory of Australia opposite the island of Timor. The genus is characterized by presence of several transverse strioles on the proepisternum, a character that is similarly present only in the New Guinean genus Rhytiferonia Darlington, 1962 which, however, probably is not very closely related to Rhytisternus Chaudoir (Darlington, 1962) (see discussion below).
 In Australia, most species of Rhytisternus have been sampled near water, at river banks and at or near the shores of lakes and lagoons, preferably if these are grown with some vegetation. The single species described in the present paper was collected in dwarf Eucalyptus woodland with grass and moss at high altitudes.
