description: The ability to control scattering directionality of nanoparticles is in high demand for many nanophotonic applications. One of the challenges is to design nanoparticles producing pure high-order multipole scattering (e.g., octopole, hexadecapole), whose contribution is usually negligible compared to strong low-order multipole scattering (i.e., dipole or quadrupole). Here we present an intuitive way to design such nanoparticles by introducing a void inside them. We show that both shell and ring nanostructures allow regimes with nearly pure high-order multipole scattering. Experimentally measured scattering diagrams from properly designed silicon rings at near-infrared wavelengths (~ 800 nm) reproduce well scattering patterns of an electric octopole and magnetic hexadecapole. Our findings advance significantly inverse engineering of nanoparticles from given complex scattering characteristics, with possible applications in biosensing, optical metasurfaces, and quantum communications.

description: As a tractable approach, regularization is frequently adopted in sparse optimization. This gives rise to the regularized optimization, aiming at minimizing the $\ell_0$ norm or its continuous surrogates that characterize the sparsity. From the continuity of surrogates to the discreteness of $\ell_0$ norm, the most challenging model is the $\ell_0$-regularized optimization. To conquer this hardness, there is a vast body of work on developing numerically effective methods. However, most of them only enjoy that either the (sub)sequence converges to a stationary point from the deterministic optimization perspective or the distance between each iterate and any given sparse reference point is bounded by an error bound in the sense of probability. In this paper, we develop a Newton-type method for the $\ell_0$-regularized optimization and prove that the generated sequence converges to a stationary point globally and quadratically under the standard assumptions, theoretically explaining that our method is able to perform surprisingly well.

 A small­sized Manota.
 Male. Head. Flagellomere 4, Fig. 4C. Maxillary palpus with palpomere 3 bearing 4–5 apically expanded curved sensilla; palpomere 4 with parasegment. Thorax. Anepisternum setose. Anterior basalare non­setose. Preepisternum 2 setose. Laterotergite setose. Episternum 3 setose. Wing. Length 1.7 mm. Wing membrane dorsally with few setae at posterior margin. Sc distally of h non­setose. A1 indicated by few setae. Hypopygium (Fig. 4D). Sternite 9 short, one­fourth of ventral length of gonocoxa, laterally sharply delimited, posterior margin not clearly contiguous so that sternite gives impression of being medially divided, setae stronger than ventral setae of gonocoxa. Gonocoxa ventrally with rounded lobe apicomesially, lobe with stronger setae deviating from adjacent setosity; dorsally in position I with rounded lobe bearing 1 megaseta, 1 flattened megaseta in position III which basally may have a branch, no apicolateral triangular lobe. Gonostylus elongate, laterally angularly convex, mesially nearly straight, apically almost pointed. Parastylar lobe lacking. Tegmen long and unusually narrow, with slight lateral shoulders. Setae on sternite 10 scattered.
Female and preimaginal stages unknown.
 Discussion
 Manota pollex is similar to M. yongi. It differs from the latter by having the group of stronger setae apicomesially on the ventral side of the gonocoxa on a small rounded lobe. Furthermore, the apical part of the gonostylus is less narrowed or pointed and the lobe dorsally on the gonocoxa in position I is narrower. Both species are rather similar to M. roslii. For further discussion, see under M. roslii.

description: Predictions of a topological electronic structure in the skutterudite TPn$_3$ family (T=transition metal, Pn=pnictogen) are investigated via magnetoresistance, quantum oscillations and angle-resolved photoemission experiments of RhSb$_3$, an unfilled skutterudite semimetal with low carrier density. Electronic band structure calculations and symmetry analysis of RhSb$_3$ indicate this material to be a zero-gap semimetal protected by symmetry with inverted valence/conduction bands that touch at the $Γ$ point close to the Fermi level. Transport experiments reveal an unsaturated linear magnetoresistance that approaches a factor of 200 at 60~T magnetic fields, and quantum oscillations observable up to 150~K that are consistent with a large Fermi velocity ($\sim 1.3\times 10^6$ m/s), high carrier mobility ($\sim 14$ m$^2$/Vs), and the existence of a small three dimensional hole pocket. A very small, sample-dependent effective mass falls to values as low as $0.018(2)$ of the bare electron mass and scales with Fermi wavevector. This, together with a non-zero Berry's phase and location of the Fermi level in the linear region of the valence band, suggests RhSb$_3$ as representative of a new class of toplogical semimeals with symmetry-enforced Fermi degeneracy at the high symmetry points.

description: The 2007 British Atmospheric Data Centre (BADC) Users Survey examined the skill base of the BADCs user community. Results indicated a large proportion of users who were familiar with data held in ASCII formats such as comma-separated variables (csv) and there was a high degree of familiarity with spreadsheet programmes (e.g. Excel) for data analysis purposes. These result, combined with the experiences of the BADC staff dealing with user enquiries and assisting data suppliers in preparing data for submission, and the metadata requirements of the BADC, highlighted the need for a new ASCII format to be generated. The BADC-CSV format adheres to metadata conventions covered by the NASAAmes and NetCDF formats, the CF, and Dublin Core metadata conventions, the ISO19115 standard and the metadata requirements of the BADC and its sister data centres within the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). The format meets end user and data supplier requirements by being a native format for spreadsheet software as well as other commonly used data production and analysis tools (e.g. IDL, MatLab). This paper presents the requirements for the format resulting from the 2007 user survey and data centre requirements, describes the structure of the format and demonstrates the format through short examples. Finally, ongoing work to further develop the format is discussed.

description: High-resolution optical spectra were obtained in 2017-2019 with The Southern African Large Telescope of fifteen stars in the direction of the Vela supernova remnant. Interstellar Ca ii H and K and Na i D lines are discussed in this paper. In particular, the line profiles are compared with profiles at a comparable spectral resolution obtained in 1993-1996 by Cha & Sembach. Ten of the lines of sight show changes to one or more of the components in that line of sight. Changes include small changes (1-2 km/s) in radial velocity and/or increases/decreases in equivalent width over the two decades between the periods of observation. Changes are more obvious in the Ca K line than in the Na D lines. These changes are attributed to gas disturbed by interactions between the supernova ejecta and the surrounding interstellar medium. A representative timescale may be 20-50 years. Small-scale variations in line profiles across the face of the remnant suggest, as previously remarked, that a linear scale for interactions is a small fraction of the 40 pc size of the present remnant.

description: We examined the effects of the weak magnetic field on the dissociation of heavy quarkonia immersed in a thermal medium of quarks and gluons. For that purpose, we have revisited the general structure of gluon self-energy tensor in the presence of a weak magnetic field in thermal medium and obtained the relevant structure functions. The structure functions give the real and imaginary parts of the resummed gluon propagator, which further give the respective dielectric permittivities. The real and imaginary parts of the dielectric permittivity will be used to evaluate the real and imaginary parts of the complex heavy quark potential. The real-part of the potential is found to be more screened, whereas the magnitude of the imaginary-part of the potential gets increased on increasing the value of both temperature and magnetic field. In addition to this, we have observed that the real-part gets slightly more screened while the imaginary part gets increased in the presence of a weak magnetic field as compared to their counterparts in the absence of a magnetic field. The increase in the screening of the real-part of the potential leads to the decrease of binding energies of $J/Ψ$ and $Υ$, whereas the increase in the magnitude of the imaginary part leads to the increase of thermal width with the temperature and magnetic field both. Also the binding energy and thermal width in the presence of weak magnetic field become smaller and larger, respectively, as compared to that in the pure thermal case. We have finally obtained the dissociation temperatures for $J/Ψ$ and $Υ$, which become slightly lower in the presence of weak magnetic field. This observation leads to the slightly early dissociation of quarkonia because of the presence of a weak magnetic field.

description: Techniques recently developed for the analysis of human social networks are applied to the social network of bottlenose dolphins living in Doubtful Sound, New Zealand. We identify communities and subcommunities within the dolphin population and present evidence that sex- and age-related homophily play a role in the formation of clusters of preferred companionship. We also identify brokers who act as links between subcommunities and who appear to be crucial to the social cohesion of the population as a whole. The network is found to be similar to human social networks in some respects but different in some others such as the level of assortative mixing by degree within the population. This difference elucidates some of the means by which the network formed and evolves.

description: Recent large-area, deep CO surveys in the Galactic disk have revealed the formation of ~50 high-mass stars or clusters triggered by cloud-cloud collisions (CCCs). Although the Galactic Center (GC) -- which contains the highest volume density of molecular gas -- is the most favorable place for cloud collisions, systematic studies of CCCs in that region are still untouched. Here we report for the first time evidence of CCCs in the common foot point of molecular loops 1 and 2 in the GC. We have investigated the distribution of molecular gas toward the foot point by using a methodology for identifying CCCs, and we have discovered clear signatures of CCCs. Using the estimated displacements and relative velocities of the clouds, we find the elapsed time since the beginnings of the collisions to be 105-6 yr. We consider possible origins for previously reported peculiar velocity features in the foot point and discuss star formation triggered by CCCs in the GC.

description: Quantum state preparation is vital to quantum computation and quantum information processing tasks. In adiabatic state preparation, the target state is theoretically obtained with nearly perfect fidelity if the control parameter is tuned slowly enough. As this, however, leads to slow dynamics, it is often desirable to be able to do processes faster. In this work, we employ two global optimization methods to estimate the quantum speed limit for few-fermion systems confined in a one-dimensional harmonic trap. Such systems can be produced experimentally in a well controlled manner. We determine the optimized control fields and achieve a reduction in the ramping time of more than a factor of four compared to linear ramping. We also investigate how robust the fidelity is to small variations of the control fields away from the optimized shapes.

description: Superfluidity is a generic feature of various quantum systems at low temperatures and it is in particular important for the description of dynamics of low energy nuclear reactions. The time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) is, to date, the only microscopic method which takes into account in a consistent way far from equilibrium dynamics of pairing field and single-particle degrees of freedom. The local version of TDDFT, so called TDSLDA, is particularly useful for the description of nuclear reactions and is well suited for leadership class computers of hybrid (CPU+GPU) architecture. The preliminary results obtained for collisions involving both medium-mass and heavy nuclei at the energies around the Coulomb barrier are presented.

As case studies, we consider models for organic superconductors $κ$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$Cu(NCS)$_2$ and (TMTSF)$_2$ClO$_4$. We find that multiplicity of the Fermi surfaces can lead to a splitting of the zero-bias conductance peak (ZBCP). We propose that the presence/absence of the ZBCP splitting is used as a probe to distinguish the pairing symmetry in $κ$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$Cu(NCS)$_2$.

 Male. Head. Flagellomere 4, Fig. 5A. Maxillary palpus with palpomere 3 bearing 4–6 apically expanded curved sensilla; palpomere 4 with parasegment. Thorax. Anepisternum setose. Anterior basalare non­setose. Preepisternum 2 setose. Laterotergite setose. Episternum 3 setose. Wing. Length 1.4–1.5 mm. Wing membrane dorsally with few setae at posterior margin. Sc distally of h non­setose. Setae indicating A1 from few to many. Hypopygium (Figs. 5B, C). Sternite 9 large, laterally sharply delimited but posterior margin weakly indicated, setae subequal to ventral setae of gonocoxa. Dorsomesial margin of gonocoxa simple, without apicolateral triangular lobe but with subapical setose transverse lobe covered by mesial margin, with 2 long sigmoid megasetae in position III, arising from common basal body. Gonostylus elongate­oval with characteristic marginal setosity on mesial side. Parastylar lobe well exposed, directed obliquely anteriad, with couple of apical setae. Tegmen rather short, triangular, with slight lateral shoulders. Setae on sternite 10 in densely placed patch or in 2 short rows near apex of tegmen.
Female and preimaginal stages unknown.
 Discussion
 Manota ovata resembles M. plusiochaeta and M. oligochaeta, but has the laterotergite setose. Furthermore, it can be distinguished from both by the roughly oval outline of its gonostylus and by having the setae on sternite 10 in a short two­rowed group rather than in one row. Manota ovata is similar to M. angustata from which it differs by the simple ovate gonostylus. In M. angustata the gonostylus is narrow, parallel­sided and with an apicomesial lobe.

description: We present a method for determining the local stability of equilibrium points of conservative generalizations of the Lotka-Volterra equations. These generalizations incorporate both an arbitrary number of species -including odd-dimensional systems- and nonlinearities of arbitrarily high order in the interspecific interaction terms. The method combines a reformulation of the equations in terms of a Poisson structure and the construction of their Lyapunov functionals via the energy-Casimir method. These Lyapunov functionals are a generalization of those traditionally known for Lotka-Volterra systems. Examples are given.

description: A cross between two well-known integrable multi-particle dynamics, an affine Toda molecule and a Sutherland system, is introduced for any affine root system. Though it is not completely integrable but partially integrable, or quasi exactly solvable, it inherits many remarkable properties from the parents. The equilibrium position is algebraic, i.e. proportional to the Weyl vector. The frequencies of small oscillations near equilibrium are proportional to the affine Toda masses, which are essential ingredients of the exact factorisable S-matrices of affine Toda field theories. Some lower lying frequencies are integer times a coupling constant for which the corresponding exact quantum eigenvalues and eigenfunctions are obtained. An affine Toda-Calogero system, with a corresponding rational potential, is also discussed.

description: We propose a quantum nondemolition measurement using a kicked two-state system (qubit). By tuning the waiting time between kicks to be the qubit oscillation period, the kicking apparatus performs a nondemolition measurement. While dephasing is unavoidable, the nondemolition measurement can (1) slow relaxation of diagonal density matrix elements, (2) avoid detector back-action, and (3) allow for a large signal-to-noise ratio. Deviations from the ideal behavior are studied by allowing for detuning of the waiting time, as well as finite-time, noisy pulses. The scheme is illustrated with a double-dot qubit measured by a gate-pulsed quantum point contact.

description: We prove that conformable ``fractional" differentiability of a function $f:[0,\infty[\,\longrightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is nothing else than the classical differentiability. More precisely, the conformable $α$-derivative of $f$ at some point $x>0$, where $0<α<1$, is the pointwise product $x^{1-α}f^{\prime}(x)$. This proves the lack of significance of recent studies of the conformable derivatives. The results imply that interpreting fractional derivatives in the conformable sense alters fractional differential problems into differential problems with the usual integer-order derivatives that no longer describe the original fractional physical phenomena. A general fractional viscoelasticity model is analysed to illustrate this state of affairs. We also test the modelling efficiency of the conformable derivative using a fractional model of viscoelastic deformation of tight sandstone, and a fractional world population growth model.

 A small­sized Manota.
 Male. Head. Flagellomere 4, Fig. 5D. Maxillary palpus with palpomere 3 bearing 4–5 apically expanded curved sensilla: palpomere 4 with parasegment. Thorax. Anepisternum setose. Anterior basalare non­setose. Preepisternum 2 setose. Laterotergite setose. Episternum 3 setose. Front leg, Fig. 1E. Wing. Length 1.3–1.5 mm. Wing membrane dorsally with few setae at posterior margin. Sc distally of h non­setose. Setae indicating A1 not observed. Hypopygium (Figs. 5E, F). Sternite 9 large, laterally sharply delimited but posterior margin weakly indicated, setae subequal to ventral setae of gonocoxa. Dorsomesial margin of gonocoxa simple, without apicolateral triangular lobe but with small subapical mesial rounded lobe covered by mesial margin, with 1 long sigmoid megaseta and 1 shorter less sigmoid one in position III, both arising from long common basal body; in 1 paratype, the difference between these 2 setae is not as great as in Fig. 5E, but the shorter one, too, is curved in the apical part. Gonostylus elongate, parallel­sided, with subapical process on the mesial side. Parastylar lobe well exposed, directed obliquely anteriad, with 1 apical setae. Tegmen rather short, triangular, with slight lateral shoulders. Setae on sternite 10 about 7 in number, in scattered row extending anteriorly to level of apical part of tegmen.
Female and preimaginal stages unknown.
 Discussion
 Manota angustata is similar to M. ovata, but is distinguished by its narrow parallelsided gonostylus with a mesial subapical lobe.

description: It is often repeated that raising agricultural productivity in developing countries improves the living standards of poor people. Although this proposition seems reasonable it is usually based on casual theorizing, seldom backed by solid empirical evidence. Agricultural productivity growth clearly generates new income and these benefits must accrue to someone. But to what extent do the poor actually share in these benefits? Is it possible that most, or even all of the benefits flow to others, say to non-poor landowners? Using Thai data, regressions were performed to test the null hypothesis that agricultural productivity growth had no impact on changes in the level of rural poverty incidence. The dependent variable was the annual change in the level of rural poverty incidence, the latter expressed as the percentage of the rural population with real incomes below the poverty line, over the time interval concerned. Agricultural productivity entered the regressions as the annual rate of change in the level of agricultural productivity in the region concerned, over the same time interval as the poverty observations, but lagged one calendar year. The estimated coefficient on the change in agricultural productivity was negative and highly significant. The negative sign means that higher rates of agricultural productivity growth cause rural poverty incidence to decline, holding other variables constant. The estimated coefficient on the price of food was positive and highly significant. The positive sign means that higher prices of food relative to non-food cause rural poverty incidence to increase, holding other variables constant.

description: Consider two normal leads coupled to a superconductor; the first lead is biased while the second one and the superconductor are grounded. In general, a finite current $I_2(V_1,0)$ is induced in the grounded lead 2; its magnitude depends on the competition between processes of Andreev and normal quasiparticle transmission from the lead 1 to the lead 2. It is known that in the tunneling limit, when normal leads are weakly coupled to the superconductor, $I_2(V_1,0)=0$, if $|V_1|

description: Transverse 2D phase space distribution of a 2.1 MeV, 5 mA H$^-$ beam is measured at the PIPIT test accelerator at Fermilab with an Allison scanner. The paper describes the design, calibration, and performance of the scanner as well as the main results of the beam measurements. Analyses of the recorded phase portraits are performed primarily in action-phase coordinates; the stability of the action under linear optics makes it easier to compare measurements taken with different beamline conditions, e.g. in various locations. The intensity of a single measured point (\pixel") is proportional to the phase density in the corresponding portion of the beam. When the Twiss parameters are calculated using only the high-phase density part of the beam, the pixel intensity in the beam core is found to be decreasing exponentially with action and to be phase-independent. Outside of the core, the intensities decrease with action at a significantly slower rate than in the core. This `tail' comprises 10-30% of the beam, with 0.1% of the total measured intensity extending beyond the action 10-20 times larger than the rms emittance. The transition from the core to the tail is accompanied by the appearance of a strong phase dependence, which is characterized in action-phase coordinates by two `branches' extending beyond the core. A set of selected measurements shows, in part, that there is no measurable emittance dilution along the beam line in the main portion of the beam; the beam parameters are practically constant over a 0.5 ms pulse; and scraping in various parts of the beam line is an effective way to decrease the transverse tails by removing the branches.

description: We investigate simultaneous effects of finite system size and global charge conservation on thermal fluctuations in the vicinity of a critical point. For that we consider a finite interacting system which exchanges particles with a finite reservoir (thermostat), comprising a statistical ensemble that is distinct from the common canonical and grand canonical ensembles. As a particular example the van der Waals model is used. The global charge conservation effects strongly influence the cumulants of particle number distribution when the system size is comparable to that of the reservoir. If the system size is large enough to capture all the physics associated with the interactions, the global charge conservation effects can be accurately described and corrected for analytically, within a recently developed subensemble acceptance method. The finite size effects start to play a significant role when the correlation length grows large due to proximity of the critical point or when the system is small enough to be comparable to an eigenvolume of an individual particle. We discuss our results in the context of fluctuation measurements in heavy-ion collisions.

Sternite 9 large, laterally united with gonocoxa and posteriorly extending nearly as far as ventral part of gonocoxa; setosity similar to ventral setosity of gonocoxa (similar to Fig. 8B). Gonocoxa dorsally in position I with rounded lobe bearing 3 megasetae, in position II with 2 strong setae/megasetae ventrad of which there are 2 megasetae that may be those called position III megasetae, no megasetae in position IV; no prominent apical lobes. Gonostylus rather small, bilobed, with some strong setae, with very strong apical seta. Parastylar lobe present, directed posteriad, with about 4 unusually strong setae on apical part. Tegmen long, with strong shoulders. Sternite 10 unusually large, extending posteriorly nearly as far as gonostyli, setae scattered. Apical setae of cercus unusually strong.
Female and preimaginal stages unknown.
 Discussion
 Manota biloba is similar to M. clausa, M. heptacantha, M. ulu, and M. simplex but is easily distinguished by its bilobate or biramous gonostylus. It is also similar to M. globigera but has a non­setose laterotergite. For further distinguishing characters, see under M. globigera.
 Manota biloba resembles several Afrotropical Manota, especially M. flavipes (Enderlein) from the Seychelles, but it has three megasetae on the gonocoxa in position I instead of only one (see Edwards 1928: Fig. 2a, and Matile 1972: Fig. 1). M. teocchi Matile from Central Africa may also be very similar. M. biloba differs from it, for example, by having three megasetae in position I instead of two. All the above­mentioned species have a general resemblance to the Afrotropical species M. serrata Söli and M. sespinea Söli, but have the position III seta less modified and the arrangement of the dorsal gonocoxal setae and megasetae very different. For further discussion, see under M. simplex.
