description: The life of African lions has evolved complex social behavior in which individuals' survival is highly associated with interactions with pride mates. In this study we aimed at assessing the effect of feeding group demographic structure on per capita food intake of individual lions of different age/sex classes. Hunted prey species and individual lions were identified whenever a feeding group was observed in the Tarangire-Manyara Ecosystem in Tanzania. Based on carcass edible biomasses of prey species and feeding rates of lion's age/class group, we estimated per capita food intake for individuals feeding on the carcass. Eventually, we analyzed the effect of demographic structure (number of each age/sex class individual at a carcass) on per capita food intake of cubs, subadults, adult females and adult males.

description: One source of error in high-precision radial velocity measurements of exoplanet host stars is chromatic change in Earth's atmospheric transmission during observations. Mitigation of this error requires that the photon-weighted barycentric correction be applied as a function of wavelength across the stellar spectrum. We have designed a system for chromatic photon-weighted barycentric corrections with the EXtreme PREcision Spectrograph (EXPRES) and present results from the first year of operations, based on radial velocity measurements of more than $10^3$ high-resolution stellar spectra. For observation times longer than 250 seconds, we find that if the chromatic component of the barycentric corrections is ignored, a range of radial velocity errors up to 1 m s$^{-1}$ can be incurred with cross-correlation, depending on the nightly atmospheric conditions. For this distribution of errors, the standard deviation is 8.4 cm s$^{-1}$ for G-type stars, 8.5 cm s$^{-1}$ for K-type stars, and 2.1 cm s$^{-1}$ for M-type stars. This error is reduced to well-below the instrumental and photon-noise limited floor by frequent flux sampling of the observed star with a low-resolution exposure meter spectrograph.

description: Area development has been of national concern for many years. A combination of (a) unequal natural and. human resource endowments, (b) differential impacts of technological change, (c) secular trends in factor and product prices, and (d) institutional (social, economic, cultural, and political) barriers to resource mobility have r'~sulted in wide differences in the rates and levels of economic development among areasol It is more apparent today than ever before that many of our country's less favored areas are responding sluggishly, if at. all, to the forces which are causing our current rate of national economic growth.

description: Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) relies on quantum communication to allow distant parties to share a secure cryptographic key. Widespread adoption of QKD in current telecommunication networks will require the development of simple, low cost and stable systems. However, current QKD implementations usually include additional hardware that perform auxiliary tasks such as temporal synchronization and polarization basis tracking. Here we present a polarization-based QKD system operating at 1550 nm that performs synchronization and polarization compensation by exploiting only the hardware already needed for the quantum communication task. Polarization encoding is performed by a self-compensating Sagnac loop modulator which exhibits high temporal stability and the lowest intrinsic quantum bit error rate reported so far.The QKD system was tested over a fiber-optic link, demonstrating tolerance up to about 40 dB of channel losses. Thanks to its reduced hardware requirements and the quality of the source, this work represents an important step towards technologically mature QKD systems.

description: Hereditary breast and/or ovarian cancer is a highly heterogeneous disease with more than 10 known disease-associated genes. In the framework of the BRIDGES project (Breast Cancer Risk after Diagnostic Gene Sequencing), the RAD51C gene has been sequenced in 60,466 breast cancer patients and 53,461 controls. We aimed at functionally characterizing all the identified genetic variants that are predicted to disrupt the splicing process. Forty RAD51C variants of the intron-exon boundaries were bioinformatically analyzed, 20 of which were selected for splicing functional assays. To test them, a splicing reporter minigene with exons 2 to 8 was designed and constructed. This minigene generated a full-length transcript of the expected size (1062 nucleotides), sequence, and structure (Vector exon V1- RAD51C exons_2-8- Vector exon V2). The 20 candidate variants were genetically engineered into the wild type minigene and functionally assayed in MCF-7 cells. Nineteen variants (95%) impaired splicing, while 18 of them produced severe splicing anomalies. At least 35 transcripts were generated by the mutant minigenes: 16 protein-truncating, 6 in-frame, and 13 minor uncharacterized isoforms. According to ACMG/AMP-based standards, 15 variants could be classified as pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants: c.404G > A, c.405-6T > A, c.571 + 4A > G, c.571 + 5G > A, c.572-1G > T, c.705G > T, c.706-2A > C, c.706-2A > G, c.837 + 2T > C, c.905-3C > G, c.905-2A > C, c.905-2_905-1del, c.965 + 5G > A, c.1026 + 5_1026 + 7del, and c.1026 + 5G > T.

description: The upscaling of perovskite solar cells is one of the challenges that must be addressed to pave the way toward the commercial development of this technology. As for other thin-film photovoltaic technologies, upscaling requires the fabrication of modules composed of series-connected cells. In this work we demonstrate for the first time the interconnection of inverted modules with NiOx using a UV ns laser, obtaining a 10.2 cm2 minimodule with a 15.9% efficiency on the active area, the highest for a NiOx based perovskite module. We use optical microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and transfer length measurement to optimize the interconnection. The results are implemented in a complete electrical simulation of the cell-to-module losses to evaluate the experimental results and to provide an outlook on further development of single junction and multijunction perovskite modules.

description: In this first paper of the series, we present initial results of newly upgraded Giant Meterwave Radio Telescope (uGMRT) observation of European Large-Area ISO Survey-North 1 (ELAIS-N1) at 325 MHz with 32 MHz bandwidth. Precise measurement of fluctuations in Galactic and extragalactic foreground emission as a function of frequency as well as angular scale is necessary for detecting redshifted 21-cm signal of neutral hydrogen from Cosmic Dawn, Epoch of Reionization (EoR) and post-reionization epoch. Here, for the first time we have statistically quantified the Galactic and extragalactic foreground sources in the ELAIS-N1 field in the form of angular power spectrum using the newly developed Tapered Gridded Estimator (TGE). We have calibrated the data with and without direction-dependent calibration techniques. We have demonstrated the effectiveness of TGE against the direction dependent effects by using higher tapering of field of view (FoV). We have found that diffuse Galactic synchrotron emission (DGSE) dominates the sky, after point source subtraction, across the angular multipole range $ 1115 \leqslant \mathcal{\ell} \leqslant 5083 $ and $ 1565 \leqslant \mathcal{\ell} \leqslant 4754 $ for direction-dependent and -independent calibrated visibilities respectively. The statistical fluctuations in DGSE has been quantified as a power law of the form $\mathcal{C}_{\mathcal{\ell}}= A \mathcal{\ell}^{-β} $. The best fitted values of (A, $β$) are ($ 62 \pm 6$ $mK^{2}$, $2.55 \pm 0.3 $) and ($ 48 \pm 4$ $mK^{2}$, $2.28 \pm 0.4 $ ) for the two different calibration approaches. For both the cases, the power law index is consistent with the previous measurements of DGSE in other parts of sky.

We focus on models with a sharp nuclear/exotic matter interface, and assume a uniform distribution of neutron stars in the mass range $[1,2] M_\odot$. We find that the existence of exotic cores can be confirmed at the 70% confidence level with as few as several tens of detections. Likewise, with such a sample, we find that some models of exotic cores can be excluded {with high confidence}.

What's decidable about parametric timed automata?

description: Parametric timed automata (PTAs) are a powerful formalism to reason, simulate and formally verify critical real-time systems. After 25 years of research on PTAs, it is now well-understood that any non-trivial problem studied is undecidable for general PTAs. We provide here a survey of decision and computation problems for PTAs. On the one hand, bounding time, bounding the number of parameters or the domain of the parameters does not (in general) lead to any decidability. On the other hand, restricting the number of clocks, the use of clocks (compared or not with the parameters), and the use of parameters (e.g. used only as upper or lower bounds) leads to decidability of some problems. We also put emphasis on open problems. We also discuss formalisms close to parametric timed automata (such as parametric hybrid automata or parametric interrupt timed automata), and we study tools dedicated to PTAs and their extensions.

description: The AQUARIUS Deliverable 6.2 documents the AQUARIUS Data Management Plan (DMP) and describes the planned Data Management approach. The approach covers multiple steps in the deployment of TA events, going from planning to reporting a summary of observations to gathering and standardising all collected data sets in a FAIR way in the European leading data management infrastructures. This way, over time all information, metadata and data sets from the TA events will be published as open data and made widely accessible. This will be achieved by a close cooperation between the TA scientific teams and the expert data centres that are active in AQUARIUS Work Package 6 for supporting data management and in WP5 for providing training about data management and prevailing European standards. The results of the data management flow steps will be published on the AQUARIUS Dataflow Dashboard (ADD) which will be a dedicated section on the AQUARIUS website. This document, AQUARIUS Deliverable 6.3 documents the sitemap and planned development of the AQUARIUS Dataflow Dashboard (ADD). It also documents the metadata model and the development of the TA Summary Log APP. The APP and the ADD with initial components should be ready, well tested and operational before M19 of the AQUARIUS project, when the expected (Transnational Access) TA events will be deployed as a follow-up of the 1st Call.

Efficient Multi-Gaussian Expansion of galaxies

description: We describe a simple, efficient, robust and fully automatic algorithm for the determination of a Multi-Gaussian Expansion (MGE) fit to galaxy images, to be used as a parametrization for the galaxy stellar surface brightness. In most cases the least-squares solution found by this method essentially corresponds to the minimax, constant relative error, MGE approximation of the galaxy surface brightness, with the chosen number of Gaussians. The algorithm is well suited to be used with multiple resolution images (e.g., Hubble Space Telescope [HST] and ground-based). It works orders of magnitude faster and is more accurate than currently available methods. An alternative, more computing intensive, fully linear algorithm, that is guaranteed to converge to the smallest Chi^2 solution, is also discussed. Examples of MGE fits are presented for objects with HST or ground-based photometry, including galaxies with significant isophote twist.

description: The suitability of Ti as a band gap modifier for α-Ga2O3 was investigated, taking advantage of the isostructural α phases and high band gap difference between Ti2O3 and Ga2O3. Films of (Ti,Ga)2O3 were synthesized by atomic layer deposition on sapphire substrates, and characterized to determine how crystallinity and band gap vary with composition for this alloy. We report the deposition of high quality α-(TixGa1−x)2O3 films with x = 3.7%. For greater compositions the crystalline quality of the films degrades rapidly, where the corundum phase is maintained in films up to x = 5.3%, and films containing greater Ti fractions being amorphous. Over the range of achieved corundum phase films, that is 0% ≤ x ≤ 5.3%, the band gap energy varies by ∼270 meV. The ability to maintain a crystalline phase at low fractions of Ti, accompanied by a modification in band gap, shows promising prospects for band gap engineering and the development of wavelength specific solar-blind photodetectors based on α-Ga2O3.

description: We report the discovery of two faint ultracool companions to the nearby (d~17.9 pc) young G2V star HD 130948 (HR 5534, HIP 72567) using the Hokupa'a adaptive optics instrument mounted on the Gemini North 8-meter telescope. Both objects have the same common proper motion as the primary star as seen over a 7 month baseline and have near-IR photometric colors that are consistent with an early-L classification. Near-IR spectra taken with the NIRSPEC AO instrument on the Keck II telescope reveal K I lines, FeH, and water bandheads. Based on these spectra, we determine that both objects have spectral type dL2 with an uncertainty of 2 spectral subclasses. The position of the new companions on the H-R diagram in comparison with theoretical models is consistent with the young age of the primary star (<0.8 Gyr) estimated on the basis of X-ray activity, lithium abundance and fast rotation. HD 130948 B and C likely constitute a pair of young contracting brown dwarfs with an orbital period of about 10 years, and will yield dynamical masses for L dwarfs in the near future.

description: Abstract. The location quotient is a widely used index to measure agglomeration. However, a problem concerning the usefulness of the location quotient is how to obtain an objective cut-off value to identify the existence of agglomeration for an industry in a region. This paper ex-tends the idea of O’Donoghue and Gleave (2004) and proposes a bootstrap method to deter-mine the cut-off value based on the standardized location quotient. The advantage of our method is that the bootstrap method does not rely on any assumption regarding the statistical distribution of the location quotient, which is a major limitation of O’Donoghue and Gleave’s (2004) approach. Then we apply the method to measure agglomeration of manufacturing in-dustries at the county level in the United States.

description: The belief that some banks are too big to fail became reality during the financial crisis of 2007–2009 when the biggest banks in the United States were bailed out. Since then, big banks have grown much bigger and have become increasingly complex. This development has led to far greater attention on the need to resolve the too-big-to fail-problem. This paper examines the way in which the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has resolved troubled banks over time and throughout the various regions of the nation. The paper also examines post-crisis regulatory reform by focusing on the new orderly liquidation authority the Dodd-Frank Act provides to the FDIC to serve as the receiver for big banks whose failure poses a significant risk to the country’s financial stability. We assess whether this process will indeed eliminate the too-big-to-fail problem.

description: The informal childcare sector provides a significant proportion of childcare in the U.S. However, because informal sectors are not captured in our national income accounting sys-tem, the value to our economy is largely unknown. This study examines the size of the infor-mal childcare sector in the state of Kansas. Using IMPLAN data we also calculate implicit multipliers for the sector in order to estimate the full economic effects of informal childcare on the economy of Kansas and its regions. We find that the informal childcare sector creates large economic effects compared to the formal childcare sector. More specifically, the study estimates that informal childcare created about 128,494 direct jobs within the sector, another 6,842 jobs in other sectors, and $971.5 million in total value added in Kansas in 2005. We found that families in non-metro areas are more likely to use informal childcare than those in metro areas. As a result, even though the non-metro multipliers are smaller than those of met-ro areas, the informal childcare sector generates larger economic effects in non-metro areas than metro areas in general.

description: We give an introduction crystalline color superconductivity, arguing that it is likely to occur wherever quark matter in which color-flavor locking does not occur is found. We survey the properties of this form of quark matter, and argue that its presence in a compact star may result in pulsar glitches, and thus in observable consequences. However, elucidation of this proposal requires an understanding of the crystal structure, which is not yet in hand.

description: Abstract: Strain engineering is used to obtain desirable materials properties in a range of modern technologies. Direct nanoscale measurement of the three-dimensional strain tensor field within these materials has however been limited by a lack of suitable experimental techniques and data analysis tools. Scanning electron diffraction has emerged as a powerful tool for obtaining two-dimensional maps of strain components perpendicular to the incident electron beam direction. Extension of this method to recover the full three-dimensional strain tensor field has been restricted though by the absence of a formal framework for tensor tomography using such data. Here, we show that it is possible to reconstruct the full non-symmetric strain tensor field as the solution to an ill-posed tensor tomography inverse problem. We then demonstrate the properties of this tomography problem both analytically and computationally, highlighting why incorporating precession to perform scanning precession electron diffraction (SPED) may be important. We establish a general framework for non-symmetric tensor tomography and demonstrate computationally its applicability for achieving strain tomography with SPED data.

description: Recently, quantum contextuality has been proved to be the source of quantum computation's power. That, together with multiple recent contextual experiments, prompts improving the methods of generation of contextual sets and finding their features. The most elaborated contextual sets, which offer blueprints for contextual experiments and computational gates, are the Kochen--Specker (KS) sets. In this paper, we show a method of vector generation that supersedes previous methods. It is implemented by means of algorithms and programs that generate hypergraphs embodying the Kochen-Specker property and that are designed to be carried out on supercomputers. We show that vector component generation of KS hypergraphs exhausts all possible vectors that can be constructed from chosen vector components, in contrast to previous studies that used incomplete lists of vectors and therefore missed a majority of hypergraphs. Consequently, this unified method is far more efficient for generations of KS sets and their implementation in quantum computation and quantum communication. Several new KS classes and their features have been found and are elaborated on in the paper. Greechie diagrams are discussed. A detailed and complete blueprint of a particular 21-11 KS set with a complex coordinatization is presented in Appendix A, in contrast to the one from the published version of this paper where only a few of its states were given.

description: We have performed magnetic measurements like temperature (T), cooling field (HFC) dependence of exchange bias (EB) and training effect to investigate the magnetic nature of the interface of the Fe/Ir20Mn80 systems. Thin film bilayer samples of different thicknesses of Ir20Mn80 have been prepared by dc magnetron sputtering at room temperature. The variation of exchange bias field (HEB) with the increase in thickness of Ir20Mn80 predicts the antiferromagnet (AFM) bulk spins contribution to EB. Exponential decay of HEB and coercive field (HC) with temperature reveals the presence of spin glass (SG) like interface. Also, the decrease of HEB with increasing HFC confirms the SG like frustration at the interface. Further, the fitting of training effect experimental data envisages the presence of frozen and rotatable spins at the magnetically frustrated interface of these EB systems.

description: In this paper we calculate three-string interaction from light cone string field theory in pp-wave. We find exact agreements with the free planar three point functions of non-chiral BMN operators of ${\cal N} = 4$ super Yang Mills. The three string interaction vertex involving the Neumann matrices was derived in a recent paper hep-th/0204146. We explicitly calculate the bosonic Neumann matrices in the limit of large $μp^{+} α^{'}$ . Using the Neumann matrices we are able to compute the cubic interactions of three string modes in a pp-wave background.

SEGMENT PHASING

description: The phase of the primary mirror is a critical aspect to the operation of segmented telescopes. The Thirty Meter Telescope and European Extremely Large Telescope will consist of hundreds of segments which must be phased together to act as a single aperture, and will utilize systems of thousands of edge sensors that intend to maintain the alignment of each segment, similar to the control scheme for the W. M. Keck telescopes. However, measurements of the phasing in the Keck primary have suggested the presence of semi-static phase aberrations that are not detected in the edge sensors. We propose incorporating sensing and control feedback of the primary mirror via the adaptive optics (AO) system, as a Controllable Segmented Primary (CSP), in order to actively monitor its phasing. In simulations of the Keck AO system, we have simultaneously monitored the CSP surface and operated the AO system using a single shared pyramid wavefront sensor in a closed low-bandwidth loop. By maintaining the phase of the CSP with the PyWFS, we have significantly increased the Strehl ratio of the wavefront following the AO system. In this work, we discuss the use cases of the CSP methodology in regard to ELT-class telescopes.

description: We first explain our joint work with Dirk Kreimer on the Hopf and Lie algebras of Feynman graphs. The conceptual meaning of the concrete computations of perturbative renormalisation is obtained from the Birkhoff decomposition in the Riemann-Hilbert problem. The relation of the Hopf algebra of graphs with the group of formal diffeomorphisms of complexified coupling constants allows for a geometric interpretation of the renormalisation procedure. We then discuss the relation between the above occurrence of the Riemann-Hilbert problem, the interpretation of the renormalisation group as a group of ambiguity of physical theories and the still mysterious Galois theory that should account at Archimedian places for the connected component of identity in the Idele class group of class field theory. This paper is the content of a talk given in the memory of Louis Michel in January 2001, and has appeared as such in the Poincare seminar of October 2002 in Paris.

Extension of the standard Heisenberg Hamiltonian to multispin exchange interactions

description: An extension of the Heisenberg Hamiltonian is discussed, that allows to go beyond the standard bilinear spin Hamiltonian taking into account various contributions due to multispin interactions having both chiral and non-chiral character. The parameters of the extended Hamiltonian are calculated from first principles within the framework of the multiple scattering Green function formalism giving access to an explicit representation of these parameters in real space. The discussions are focused on the chiral interactions, i.e.\ biquadratic and three-spin Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya like vector interactions $\vec{\cal{D}}_{ijij}$ (BDMI) and $\vec{\cal{D}}_{ijkj}$ (TDMI), respectively, as well as the three-spin chiral interaction (TCI) $J_{ijk}$. Although all parameters are driven by spin-orbit coupling (SOC), some differences in their properties are demonstrated by calculations for real materials. In particular it is shown that the three-spin chiral interactions $J_{ijk}$ may be topology as well as SOC induced, while the TDMI is associated only with the SOC. As the magnitude of the chiral interactions can be quite sizable, they can lead to a stabilization of a noncollinear magnetic texture in some materials that is absent when these interactions are neglected.

description: Growth in imports of strawberries, particularly from Mexico, threaten the Florida strawberry industry. To better compete with strawberries from Mexico, the Florida strawberry industry has focused on product differentiation with an emphasis on quality. In this study, we conducted one sensory test combined with experimental auctions to examine the impact of fruit quality and labeling strategies on consumer purchase. Two strawberry varieties, Sweet Sensation and Festival are used in the experiment. Ten samples with different labels under different strawberry varieties were randomly presented to participants. In total 103 panelists participated in sensory test and experimental auction. Results show that without labeling, consumers cannot distinguish different varieties of strawberry. In most cases, labeling varieties does not directly affect consumer preference. This indicates that actions need to be taken to improve consumers’ awareness and recognition of variety labels such as Sweet Sensation.

description: In a competitive market, a rise in output prices at the wholesale level is expected to be passed through to consumers via retailers, Asymmetric price transmission exists when an increase in the producer price moves faster and more completely to consumers than do a reduction in the producer price. The research question is how product heterogeneity and differentiation can affect the price transmission in the carrots markets. Carrots are primarily consumed fresh and are the 7th most consumed fresh vegetable in the U.S. and carrot consumption has been increasing over the past few decades. we investigate price linkage of carrots at terminal and retail levels for two different quality of this product, organic and conventional. According to the VECM model results, the speed of price adjustment in the conventional carrot market is 0.354 in absolute value, while for the organic carrot market is 0.026. This result is an indication of asymmetric price transmission with respect to speed, and shows price adjustment in the organic carrot market is relatively slow pointing to inefficiency in this market. These results have important policy implications, and in case of price shocks, could have differential welfare consequences for consumers and producers
