description: The energetics of the long duration GRB phenomenon is compared with models of a rotating Black Hole (BH) in a strong magnetic field generated by an accreting torus. A rough estimate of the energy extracted from a rotating BH with the Blandford-Znajek mechanism is obtained with a very simple assumption: an inelastic collision between the rotating BH and the torus. The GRB energy emission is attributed to an high magnetic field that breaks down the vacuum around the BH and gives origin to a e+- fireball. Its subsequent evolution is hypothesized, in analogy with the in-flight decay of an elementary particle, to evolve in two distinct phases. The first one occurs close to the engine and is responsible of energizing and collimating the shells. The second one consists of a radiation dominated expansion, which correspondingly accelerates the relativistic photon--particle fluid and ends at the transparency time. This mechanism simply predicts that the observed Lorentz factor is determined by the product of the Lorentz factor of the shell close to the engine and the Lorentz factor derived by the expansion. An anisotropy in the fireball propagation is thus naturally produced, whose degree depends on the bulk Lorentz factor at the end of the collimation phase.

The evolutionary history was inferred using the Neighbor-Joining method [1]. The optimal tree with the sum of branch length = 292.16954165 is shown. The tree is drawn to scale, with branch lengths in the same units as those of the evolutionary distances used to infer the phylogenetic tree. The evolutionary distances were computed using the Maximum Composite Likelihood method [2] and are in the units of the number of base substitutions per site. All positions containing gaps and missing data were eliminated. There were a total of 22329 positions in the final dataset. Evolutionary analyses were conducted in MEGA7 [3].

description: The control of photophysical properties of iron complexes and especially of their excited states decay is a great challenge in the search for sustainable alternatives to noble metals in photochemical applications. Herein we report the synthesis and investigations of the photophysics of mer and fac iron complexes bearing bidentate pyridyl-NHC ligands, coordinating the Fe with three ligand-field enhancing carbene bonds. Ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy reveals two distinct excited state populations for both mer and fac forms, ascribed to the populations of the T1 and the T2 states, respectively, which decay to the ground state via parallel pathways. We find 3-4 ps and 15-20 ps excited state lifetimes, with respective amplitudes depending on the isomer. The longer lifetime exceeds the one reported for iron complexes with tridentate ligands analogues involving four iron-carbene bonds. By combining experimental and computational results, a mechanism based on the differential trapping of the triplet states in spin-crossover regions is proposed for the first time to explain the impact of the fac/mer isomerism on the overall excited-state lifetimes. Our results clearly highlight the impact of bidentate Pyridyl-NHC ligands on the photophysics of iron complexes, especially the paramount role of fac/mer isomerism in modulating the overall decay process, which can be potentially exploited in the design of new Fe(II)-based photoactive compound.

description: 21 cm HI line observations were made with the Arecibo Gregorian telescope of 9 HI clouds in the Hercules Cluster which were reported as tenative detections in a VLA HI study of the cluster (Dickey 1997) and for which our deep CCD imaging failed to find any optical counterparts. No sensitive observations could be made of one of these (sw-174) due to the presence of a close-by strong continuum source. The other 8 tentative HI detections were not reconfirmed by the Arecibo HI measurements. The CCD images did reveal faint, low surface brightness counterparts near the centres of two other VLA HI sources invisible on the Palomar Sky Survey, sw-103 and sw-194.

description: This study reports analytical and clinical validation of a molecular signature response classifier (MSRC) that identifies rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients who are non-responders to tumor necrosis factor-ɑ inhibitors (TNFi). The MSRC integrates patient-specific data from 19 gene expression features, anti-cyclic citrullinated protein serostatus, sex, body mass index, and patient global assessment into a single score. The MSRC results stratified samples (N = 174) according to non-response prediction with a positive predictive value of 87.7% (95% CI: 78–94%), sensitivity of 60.2% (95% CI: 50–69%), and specificity of 77.3% (95% CI: 65–87%). The 25-point scale was subdivided into three thresholds: signal not detected (<10.6), high (≥10.6), and very high (≥18.5). The MSRC relies on sequencing of RNA extracted from blood; this assay displays high gene expression concordance between inter- and intra-assay sample (R2 > 0.977) and minimal variation in cumulative gene assignment diversity, read mapping location, or gene-body coverage. The MSRC accuracy was 95.8% (46/48) for threshold concordance (no signal, high, very high). Intra- and inter-assay precision studies demonstrated high repeatability (92.6%, 25/27) and reproducibility (100%, 35/35). The MSRC is a robust assay that accurately and reproducibly detects an RA patient’s molecular signature of non-response to TNFi therapies.

description: The landscape of consumer buying behaviour has been transformed by the advent of social media, which now plays an integral role in influencing consumer buying decisions. Companies have increasingly recognised the huge economic potential of social media and are attempting to persuade consumers to make purchases through attractive marketing stimuli. This master's thesis examines the influence of social media on online impulse buying behaviour, with a special focus on Instagram, a channel with a substantial user base in Austria. Therefore, the main objective of the research is to systematically investigate and understand the factors that influence the online buying behaviour of Instagram users. The thesis provides a comprehensive analysis of impulse buying, exploring various determinants and their effects within the context of Instagram's online environment. The empirical basis of this study is a survey conducted among Austrian Instagram users aged between 18 and 34, which investigates the interplay of social media advertising, social electronic word-of-mouth, influencer marketing, and online impulse buying intention. The theoretical framework is based on the Stimulus-Organism-Response model, which provides insights into consumer behaviour in an online environment. The thesis employs quantitative research methods and analyses data using descriptive and inferential statistics. It highlights the importance of social media stimuli in creating an environment that encourages impulse buying behaviour. The study's findings indicate that social media advertising on Instagram has a significant impact on online impulse buying intentions. Additionally, social electronic word-of-mouth and influencer marketing also show a positive correlation with online impulse buying intentions, even though to a lesser degree. Furthermore, the study establishes online impulse buying intention as a statistically significant influence on online impulse buying behaviour.

description: The influence of a political idea rarely relies only on a few scholars and politicians. Instead, it emerges, evolves, and transforms into feasible policies when policy experts of various backgrounds and reputations cooperate and communicate through organizations and their personal networks. Previous research on the roles of policy experts in the policy making process, however, focus primarily on celebrities whose personal connections with other political actors are more publicly visible and politically influential. Two narratives are thus missing: First, what are the roles of the majority of lesser-known experts? Second, how much are experts’ cooperation and communication shaped by organizations such as think tanks? To provide a more complete picture, I construct a Twitter follow graph which covers 609 experts with valid Twitter accounts, which is about 70% of all listed experts on the websites of the Brookings Institution, the American Enterprise Institute, the Center for American Progress, and the Heritage Foundation. Then, I analyze the structure of this Twitter follow graph and explore the implication and limits of Twitter-based connections. With a DeepWalk Algorithm, I argue that the Twitter connections among experts are highly reciprocal and organizationally based. Finally, with edge-based regressions, I show that the organizational based connection between experts is significant even when the similarity of experts’ policy interest is controlled. That is, social media usage seems ineffective in exposing experts to opinions from those beyond the reach defined by their offline constraints. In all, I construct a framework to study the expert network through Twitter data and provide a complementary narrative to the existing qualitative discussions on how opinions and information may circulate among policy expert networks.

After an extended look at coping mechanisms embraced by a given dis-empowered community inside the West Java city of Tasikmalaya, resemblances between these mechanisms and the incarnational pattern of Jesus put forward in the gospels are identified, resulting in an exhortation being offered to persons wishing to faithfully empower poor populations in a manner thoroughly Christian.

description: Using the general argument in Borel resummation of perturbation theory that links the divergent perturbation theory to the nonperturbative effect we argue that the nonperturbative effect associated with the perturbation theory should have a branch cut only along the positive real axis in the complex coupling plane. The component in the weak coupling expansion of the nonperturbative amplitude, which usually includes the leading term in the weak coupling expansion, that gives rise to the branch cut can be calculated in principle from the perturbation theory combined with some exactly calculable properties of the nonperturbative effect. The realization of this mechanism is demonstrated in the double well potential and the two-dimensional O(N) nonlinear sigma model. In these models the leading term in weak coupling of the nonperturbative effect can be obtained with good accuracy from the first terms of the perturbation theory. Applying this mechanism to the infrared renormalon induced nonperturbative effect in QCD, we suggest some of the QCD condensate effects can be calculated in principle from the perturbation theory.

description: The electrical potential in a battery jumps at each electrode-electrolyte interface. We present a model for computing three-dimensional current and potential distributions, which accounts for such internal voltage jumps. Within the framework of the finite volume method we discretize the Laplace and gradient operators such that they account for internal jump boundary conditions. After implementing a simple battery model in OpenFOAM we validate it using an analytical test case, and show its capabilities by simulating the current distribution and discharge curve of a Li||Bi liquid metal battery.

Remarks. This species was very recently described for a single colony collected at the Hayes Fracture Zone, on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge SW of the Azores.
Despite the scarcity of material and the absence of ovicells, N. reverteri has two characters that define it well. Firstly, the six non-articulated, conical and pointed distal spikes (Fig. 4). And secondly, the shape of the convex flabelliform scutum, with digital branch prolongations with long slitlike indentations between them, such that it is possible to see how the central axis of the scutum is located diagonally over the opesia, while its area of attachment to the gymnocyst is clearly thickened and recurved (Fig. 4). The stout distal spikes resemble those of S. batmani sp. nov., but that species has a completely different scutum (see below and Fig. 10). The scutum with the oblique axis and the thickened and recurved attachment resembles that of S. hamartia sp. nov., but in that species the slitlike indentations are shorter, among other characters (see below and Fig. 5).
Considering the characters of this species, N. reverteri is here included in Scutoplites n. gen. In this species, however, the frontal avicularium is present only in the median autozooid of the branching point, which constitutes an exclusive character.

description: This is the first of three articles that attempts to repurpose an exegetical/hermeneutical methodology primarily designed for the study of the biblical text, with a view toward analyzing a particular cultural scene in West Java, Indonesia. By doing so, I attempt to illustrate the way in which methods in theological hermeneutics can cast light upon cultural hermeneutics. In this first installment, I take a close look at the narrative (as opposed to propositional) nature of all knowledge and knowing. I also illustrate that narrative nature by way of a look at a well-known anthropological methodology, one with its own strengths and weaknesses. The weaknesses of this methodology will offer to us space for suggesting an alternative in future installments.

description: In this paper we explore techniques for generating new music using a Variational Autoencoder (VAE) neural network that was trained on a corpus of specific style. Instead of randomly sampling the latent states of the network to produce free improvisation, we generate new music by querying the network with musical input in a style different from the training corpus. This allows us to produce new musical output with longer-term structure that blends aspects of the query to the style of the network. In order to control the level of this blending we add a noisy channel between the VAE encoder and decoder using bit-allocation algorithm from communication rate-distortion theory. Our experiments provide new insight into relations between the representational and structural information of latent states and the query signal, suggesting their possible use for composition purposes.

description: We argue that in QCD near the chiral limit, at all temperatures below the chiral phase transition, the dispersion relation of soft pions can be expressed entirely in terms of three temperature-dependent quantities: the pion screening mass, a pion decay constant, and the axial isospin susceptibility. The definitions of these quantities are given in terms of equal-time (static) correlation functions. Thus, all three quantities can be determined directly by lattice methods. The precise meaning of the Gell-Mann--Oakes--Renner relation at finite temperature is given.

Chandra observations of a well-defined subset of these objects reveal that all are X-ray faint, with the reddest sources being the faintest in X-rays. The X-ray hardness ratios cover a wide range, generally indicating log NH ~21-23 /cm*2, but the softest sources show no spectral evidence for intrinsic absorption. These characteristics suggest that a mix of absorbed, direct emission and unabsorbed, scattered and/or extended emission contributes to the X-ray flux, although we cannot rule out the possibility that they are intrinsically X-ray weak. This population of X-ray faint, predominantly broad-line objects could provide the missing population of X-ray absorbed AGN required by current models of the cosmic X-ray background. The existence of AGN which display both broad emission lines and absorbed X-rays has important implications for unification schemes and emphasizes the need for care in assigning classifications to individual AGN.

description: We study the enhancon mechanism for fractional D-branes in conifold and orbifold backgrounds and show how it can resolve the repulson singularity of these geometries. In particular we show that the consistency of the excision process requires that the interior space be not empty. In the orbifold case, we exploit the boundary state formalism to obtain an explicit conformal description and emphasize the non trivial role of the volume of the internal manifold.

description: Interfacing superconducting qubits with optical photons requires noise-free microwave-to-optical transducers, a technology currently not realized at the single-photon level. We propose to use four-wave-mixing in an ensemble of cold ytterbium (Yb) atoms prepared in the metastable 'clock' state. The parametric process uses two high-lying Rydberg states for bidirectional conversion between a 10 GHz microwave photon and an optical photon in the telecommunication E-band. To avoid noise photons due to spontaneous emission, we consider continuous operation far detuned from the intermediate states. We use an input-output formalism to predict conversion efficiencies of $\approx50\%$ with bandwidths of $\approx100$ kHz.

 Styringomyia terraereginae ALEXANDER, 1924: 182. Holotype ♂: Australia, North Queensland, Gordonvale, ex scrub, November 1920, A.P. Dodd (AC).
M a t e r i a l s t u d i e d. Queensland: holotype (see Figs 26-29).
The most valuable diagnostic characters specified in the original Description (ALEXANDER 1924) are: "Antennae with the first segment black, the remainder of the organ more brownish. Legs with the coxae black; trochanters brown; femora black, the fore femora paler at base, the posterior femora with a broad china-white ring before the equally broad black apex; tibiae and tarsi black, the extreme bases of the segments narrowly paler. Wings with the cephalic distal portion strongly infumed, a broad but incomplete hyaline band before the cord".
 D i s c u s s i o n Styringomyia terraereginae appears most similar to S. aterrima nov.sp. Diagnostic for male S. terraereginae are the white-banded metafemora and the basally distinctly expanded, apically very thin apical spine of the gonocoxites versus uniformly black metafemora and the normal shape of the apical spine on the gonocoxites in S. aterrima.

Evaluation of the performance of Euro-CORDEX RCMs for assessing hydrological climate change impacts in Great Britain: a comparison of different spatial resolutions and quantile mapping bias correction methods

description: Regional Climate Models (RCMs) are an essential tool for analysing regional climate change impacts as they provide simulations with more small-scale details and expected smaller errors than global climate models. There has been much effort to increase the spatial resolution and simulation skill of RCMs, yet the extent to which this improves the projection of hydrological change is unclear. Here, we evaluate the skill of five reanalysis-driven Euro-CORDEX RCMs in simulating precipitation and temperature, and as drivers of a hydrological model to simulate river flow on four UK catchments covering different physical, climatic and hydrological characteristics. We test whether high-resolution RCMs provide added value, through analysis of two RCM resolutions, 50 km and 12.5 km, which are also bias-corrected employing the parametric quantile-mapping (QM) method, using the normal distribution for temperature, and the Gamma (GQM) and Double Gamma (DGQM) distributions for precipitation. In a small catchment with complex topography, the 12.5 km RCMs outperform their 50 km version for precipitation and temperature, but when used in combination with the hydrological model, fail to capture the observed river flow distribution. In the other (larger) catchments, only one high-resolution RCM consistently outperforms its low-resolution version, implying that in general there is no added value from using the high-resolution RCMs in those catchments. GQM decreases most of the simulation biases, except for extreme precipitation and high flows, which are further decreased by DGQM. Bias correction does not improve the representation of daily temporal variability, but it does for monthly variability, in particular when applying DGQM. Overall, an increase in RCM resolution does not imply a better simulation of hydrology and bias-correction represents an alternative to ease decision-making.

The $S_{11}- N$(1535) and $-N$(1650) Resonances in Meson-Baryon Unitarized Coupled Channel Chiral Perturbation Theory

description: The $s-$wave meson-baryon scattering is analyzed for the strangeness S=0 sector in a Bethe-Salpeter coupled channel formalism incorporating Chiral Symmetry. Four channels have been considered: $πN$, $ηN$, $K Λ$, $K Σ$. The needed two particle irreducible matrix amplitude is taken from lowest order Chiral Perturbation Theory in a relativistic formalism and low energy constants are fitted to the elastic $πN $ phase-shifts and the $π^- p \to ηn$ and $π^- p \to K^0 Λ$ cross section data. The position of the complex poles in the second Riemann sheet of the scattering amplitude determine masses and widths of the $S_{11}-$ $N$(1535) and $-N$(1650) resonances, in reasonable agreement with experiment. A good overall description of data, from $πN$ threshold up to 2 GeV, is achieved keeping in mind that the two pion production channel has not been included.

description: We point out that the tidal disruption of a giant may leave a luminous (10^35-10^39 ergs/s), hot (10-100 eV) stellar core. The ``supersoft'' source detected by Chandra at the center of M31 may be such a core; whether or not it is, the observations have shown that such a core is detectable, even in the center of a galaxy. We therefore explore the range of expected observational signatures and how they may be used to (1) test the hypothesis that the M31 source is a remnant of tidal stripping and (2) discover evidence of black holes and disruption events in other galaxies.

Probing the Circular Polarization of Relativistic Jets on VLBI Scales

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: High resolution studies of circular polarization allow us see where it arises in a jet, study its local fractional level and spectrum, and compare these results to local measures of linear polarization and Faraday rotation. Here we not only review past results from Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) circular polarization studies, but we also present preliminary new results on two quasars. In the core of PKS 0607-157, we find strong circular polarization at 8 GHz and much weaker levels at 15 GHz. Combined with the linear polarization data, we favor a simple model where the circular is produced by Faraday conversion driven by a small amount of Faraday rotation. In the core of 3C345, we find strong circular polarization at 15 GHz in a component with distinct linear polarization. This core component is optically thick at 8 GHz, where we detect no circular polarization. With opposite trends in frequency for PKS 0607-157 and 3C345, it seems clear that local conditions in a jet can have a strong effect on circular polarization and need to be taken into account when studying inhomogeneous objects with multi-frequency observations.
