description: Dense stellar systems such as globular clusters are believed to harbor merging binary black holes (BHs). The evolution of such binaries is driven by interactions with other stars, most notably, binary-single interactions. Traditionally, so-called `strong' interactions are believed to be the driving force in this evolution. However, we recently showed that more distant, i.e., "weak" or "secular" encounters, can have important implications for the properties of merging BH binaries in globular clusters. This motivates more detailed understanding of the effects of secular encounters on a binary. In another previous paper, we analytically calculated expressions for the changes of the eccentricity and angular-momentum vectors taking into account second-order (SO) perturbation theory, and showed that, for highly eccentric binaries, the new expressions give rise to behavior that is not captured by first-order (FO) theory. Here, we extend our previous work to third order (TO) perturbation theory. We also include terms up to and including octupole order. The latter are nonzero for binaries with unequal component masses. In addition, we consider the effects of post-Newtonian terms, and we determine the steady-state distribution due to the cumulative effect of secular encounters by computing the associated angular-momentum diffusion coefficients, and applying the Fokker-Planck equation. Together with our previous work, the results in this paper provide a framework for incorporating the effects of distant encounters on binaries in models of cluster evolution, such as Monte Carlo codes.

description: In 2011 sedimentary rocks were recovered from submarine mountains in the deep eastern Indian Ocean, and are investigated here for the first time. Using integrated palaeontological and geochronological techniques, the rocks were determined to be of mid-Cretaceous age (~100 million years old) and contained a number of fossil species new to science, with strong biotic connections to other fossils around the Indian Ocean of a similar age. Also investigated was the origin of the sediments, and connections were found between the knolls and mountain-building events from the assembly of the supercontinent of Gondwana.

description: The application of Se yeast as a Se source to cultivate Se-rich cabbage has a significant effect on cabbage growth and quality indices. Results showed that total plant weight, head weight, and head size in cabbage were notably increased by 48.4%, 88.3%, and 25.4% under 16 mg/kg Se yeast treatment, respectively. Compare with the control, a high proportion of 3874% of Se accumulation in cabbage head was also detected in 16 mg/kg Se yeast treatment. Selenocystine (SeCys2) and Methyl-selenocysteine (MeSeCys) were the main Se speciations in the cabbage head. Application of 8 mg/kg Se yeast improved cabbage quality and antioxidant system indices, including free amino acid, soluble sugar, ascorbic acid, phenolic acid, glucosinolates, and SOD activity, which had 81.6%, 46.5%, 34.9%, 12.3%, 44.8%, 25.2% higher than that of the control, respectively. In summary, considering 8 mg/kg Se yeast as the appropriate level of Se enrichment during cabbage cultivation. These findings enhanced our understanding of the effects of Se yeast on the growth and quality of cabbage and provided new insights into Se-enrichment vegetable cultivation.

REMARKS
 As explained in the diagnosis below, within the Malagasy and African/Middle East species of the genus Triaenops there are two distinct types of noseleafs that clearly distinguish two different groups in this genus (Hill 1982). In this respect the material from the western Seychelles is referable to the T. auritus / furculus group, rather than to the T. rufus / persicus group. Thus, in making our detailed evaluations we have used specimens of T. furculus and T. auritus from near their type localities, which are, respectively, extreme southwestern Madagascar in the general vicinity of Sarodrano and the Ankarana region near Antsiranana (see Ranivo & Goodman 2006; Fig. 1).
 On the basis of our comparisons of the western Seychelles material of Triaenops to specimens of this genus from Madagascar, as well as Africa and the Middle East, animals from the former locality possess unique morphological characters and certain measurements fall outside of the range of any previously named species of Triaenops. Given these differences, we consider the western Seychelles material to be new to science.

Effects of geometry on spin-orbit Kramers states in semiconducting nanorings

description: The holonomic manipulation of spin-orbital degenerate states, encoded in the Kramers doublet of narrow semiconducting channels with spin-orbit interaction, is shown to be intimately intertwined with the geometrical shape of the nanostructures. The presence of doubly degenerate states is not sufficient to guarantee a non-trivial mixing by only changing the Rashba spin-orbit coupling. We demonstrate that in nanoscale quantum rings the combination of arbitrary inhomogeneous curvature and adiabatic variation of the spin-orbit amplitude, e.g. through electric-field gating, can be generally employed to get non-trivial combinations of the degenerate states. Shape symmetries of the nanostructure act to constrain the adiabatic quantum evolution. While for circular rings the geometric phase is not generated along a non-cyclic path in the parameters space, remarkably, for generic mirror-symmetric shape deformed rings the spin-orbit driving can lead to a series of dynamical quantum phase transitions. We explicitly show this occurrence and propose a route to detect such topological transitions by measuring a variation of the electron tunneling amplitude into the semiconducting channel.

description: We fabricated hybrid metal-dielectric nanoantennas and measured their optical response at three different wavelengths. The nanostructure is fabricated on a bilayer film formed by the sequential deposition of silicon and gold on a transparent substrate. The optical characterization is done via fluorescence measurements. We characterized the fluorescence enhancement, as well as the lifetime and detection volume reduction for each wavelength. We observe that the hybrid metal-dielectric nanoantennas behave as enhanced Zero Mode Waveguides in the near-infrared spectral region. Their detection volume is such that they can perform enhanced single-molecule detection at tens of microM. However, a wavelength blue-shift of 40 nm dramatically decreases the performance of the nanoantennas. We compared their behavior with that of a golden ZMW, and we verified that the dielectric silicon layer improves the design. We interpreted the experimental observations with the help of numerical simulations. In addition, the simulations showed that the field enhancement of the structure highly depends on the incoming beam: tightly focused beams yield lower field enhancements than plane-waves.

description: We report high resolution polarized infrared studies of the quarter-filled spin ladder compound alpha'-NaV_2O_5 as a function of temperature (5K <= T <= 300K). Numerous new modes were detected below the temperature T_c=34K of the phase transition into a charge ordered nonmagnetic state accompanied by a lattice dimerization. We analyse the Brillouin zone (BZ) folding due to lattice dimerization at T_c and show that some peculiarities of the low-temperature vibrational spectrum come from quadruplets folded from the BZ point (1/2, 1/2, 1/4). We discuss an earlier interpretation of the 70, 107, and 133cm-1 modes as magnetic bound states and propose the alternative interpretation as folded phonon modes strongly interacting with charge and spin excitations.

description: Hydrothermal reaction of Ln nitrate and Na2WO4 at pH=8 and 200 °C for 24 hours, in the absence of any additive, has directly produced the scheelite-type sodium lanthanide tungstate of NaLn(WO4)2 for the larger Ln3+ of Ln=La-Dy (including Y, Group I) and an unknown compound that can be transformed into NaLn(WO4)2 by calcination at the low temperature of 600 °C for the smaller Ln3+ of Ln=Ho-Lu (Group II). With the successful synthesis of NaLn(WO4)2 for the full spectrum of Ln, the effects of lanthanide contraction on the structural features, crystal morphology, and IR responses of the compounds were clarified. The temperature- and time-course phase/morphology evolutions and the phase conversion upon calcination were thoroughly studied for the Group I and Group II compounds with Ln=La and Lu for example, respectively. Unknown intermediates were characterized by elemental analysis, IR absorption, thermogravimetry, and differential scanning calorimetry to better understand their chemical composition and coordination. The photoluminescence properties of NaEu(WO4)2 and NaTb(WO4)2, including excitation, emission, fluorescence decay, and quantum efficiency of luminescence, were also comparatively studied for the as-synthesized and calcination products.

description: We argue that Robinson's hyperreals have just as much claim to applicability as the garden variety reals. In a recent text, Easwaran and Towsner (ET) analyze the applicability of mathematical techniques in the sciences, and introduce a distinction between techniques that are applicable and those that are merely instrumental. Unfortunately the authors have not shown that their distinction is a clear and fruitful one, as the examples they provide are superficial and unconvincing. Moreover, their analysis is vitiated by a reliance on a naive version of object realism which has long been abandoned by most philosophical realists in favor of truth-value realism. ET's argument against the applicability of hyperreals based on automorphisms of hyperreal models involves massaging the evidence and is similarly unconvincing. The purpose of the ET text is to argue that Robinson's infinitesimal analysis is merely instrumental rather than applicable. Yet in spite of Robinson's techniques being applied in physics, probability, and economics, ET don't bother to provide a meaningful analysis of even a single case in which these techniques are used. Instead, ET produce page after page of speculations mainly imitating Connesian chimera-type arguments `from first principles' against Robinson. In an earlier paper Easwaran endorsed real applicability of the sigma-additivity of measures, whereas the ET text rejects real applicability of the axiom of choice, voicing a preference for ZF. Since it is consistent with ZF that the Lebesgue measure is not sigma-additive, Easwaran is thereby walking back his earlier endorsement. We note a related inaccuracy in the textbook Measure Theory by Paul Halmos.

description: We perform hydrodynamical simulations of the interaction between supernova (SN) ejecta and circumstellar medium (CSM) for SN 1993J and SN 2011dh, and calculate the radio and X-ray emissions expected from the shocked gas at late epochs ($t$). Considering the ejecta structure from multi-group radiation hydrodynamics simulation, we find that the observed rapid drop in radio and X-ray light curves of SN 1993J at $t>$3000 days can be due to a change in the mass-loss rate ($\dot M$) around $\sim$6500 years prior to the explosion of the SN. The exact epoch scales inversely with the assumed wind velocity of $v_{\rm w}=10~ km~s^{-1}$. The progenitor of this SN very likely belonged to a binary system, where, during its evolution, the primary had transferred material to the secondary. It is argued in the paper that the change in $\dot M$ can happen because of a change in the mass accretion efficiency ($η$) of the companion star. It is possible that before $\sim6500~(v_{\rm w}/10~km~s^{-1})^{-1}$years prior to the explosion, $η$ was high, thus the CSM was tenuous, which causes the late time downturn in fluxes. In the case of SN 2011dh, the late time evolution is found to be consistent with a wind medium with $\dot M/v_{\rm w}=4\times10^{-6 }~M_{\odot}~ yr^{-1}/10 ~{km ~s^{-1}}$. It is difficult from our analysis to predict whether the progenitor of this SN had a binary companion, however, if future observations show similar decrease in radio and X-ray fluxes, then that would give strong support to a scenario where both SNe had undergone similar kind of binary evolution before explosion.

description: Biological invasions are one of the major threats to biodiversity worldwide and contribute to changing community patterns and ecosystem processes. However, it is often not obvious whether an invader is the “driver” causing ecosystem changes or a “passenger” which is facilitated by previous ecosystem changes. Causality of the impact can be demonstrated by experimental removal of the invader or introduction into a native community. Using such an experimental approach, we tested whether the impact of the invasive plant Impatiens glandulifera on native vegetation is causal, and whether the impact is habitat-dependent. We conducted a field study comparing invaded and uninvaded plots with plots from which I. glandulifera was removed and plots where I. glandulifera was planted within two riparian habitats, alder forests and meadows. A negative impact of planting I. glandulifera and a concurrent positive effect of removal on the native vegetation indicated a causal effect of I. glandulifera on total native biomass and growth of Urtica dioica. Species α-diversity and composition were not affected by I. glandulifera manipulations. Thus, I. glandulifera had a causal but low effect on the native vegetation. The impact depended slightly on habitat as only the effect of I. glandulifera planting on total biomass was slightly stronger in alder forests than meadows. We suggest that I. glandulifera is a “back-seat driver” of changes, which is facilitated by previous ecosystem changes but is also a driver of further changes. Small restrictions of growth of the planted I. glandulifera and general association of I. glandulifera with disturbances indicate characteristics of a back-seat driver. For management of I. glandulifera populations, this requires habitat restoration along with removal of the invader.

description: Vortices driven with both a transverse and a longitudinal AC drive which are out of phase are shown to exhibit a novel commensuration-incommensuration effect when interacting with periodic substrates. For different AC driving parameters, the motion of the vortices forms commensurate orbits with the periodicity of the pinning array. When the commensurate orbits are present, there is a finite DC critical depinning threshold, while for the incommensurate phases the vortices are delocalized and the DC depinning threshold is absent.

Correlations in the Sine-Gordon Model with Finite Soliton Density

description: We study the sine-Gordon (SG) model at finite densities of the topological charge and small SG interaction constant, related to the one-dimensional Hubbard model near half-filling. Using the modified WKB approach, we find that the spectrum of the Gaussian fluctuations around the classical solution reproduces the results of the Bethe ansatz studies. The modification of the collective coordinate method allows us to write down the action, free from infra-red divergencies. The behaviour of the density-type correlation functions is non-trivial and we demonstrate the existence of leading and sub-leading asymptotes. A consistent definition of the charge-raising operator is discussed. The superconducting-type correlations are shown to decrease slowly at small soliton densities, while the spectral weight of right (left) moving fermions is spread over neighboring "4k_F" harmonics.

description: We develop a new elementary move for simulations of polymer chains in torsion angle space. The method is flexible and easy to implement. Tentative updates are drawn from a (conformation-dependent) Gaussian distribution that favors approximately local deformations of the chain. The degree of bias is controlled by a parameter b. The method is tested on a reduced model protein with 54 amino acids and the Ramachandran torsion angles as its only degrees of freedom, for different b. Without excessive fine tuning, we find that the effective step size can be increased by a factor of three compared to the unbiased b=0 case. The method may be useful for kinetic studies, too.

description: The first two months of the third Advanced LIGO and Virgo observing run (2019 April-May) showed that distant gravitational wave (GW) events can now be readily detected. Three candidate mergers containing neutron stars (NS) were reported in a span of 15 days, all likely located more than 100 Mpc away. However, distant events such as the three new NS mergers are likely to be coarsely localized, which highlights the importance of facilities and scheduling systems that enable deep observations over hundreds to thousands of square degrees to detect the electromagnetic counterparts. On 2019-05-10 02:59:39.292 UT the GW candidate S190510g was discovered and initially classified as a BNS merger with 98% probability. The GW event was localized within an area of 3462 deg2, later refined to 1166 deg2 (90%) at a distance of 227 +- 92 Mpc. We triggered Target of Opportunity observations with the Dark Energy Camera (DECam), a wide-field optical imager mounted at the prime focus of the 4m Blanco Telescope at CTIO in Chile. This Letter describes our DECam observations and our real-time analysis results, focusing in particular on the design and implementation of the observing strategy. Within 24 hours of the merger time, we observed 65% of the total enclosed probability of the final skymap with an observing efficiency of 94%. We identified and publicly announced 13 candidate counterparts. S190510g was re-classified 1.7 days after the merger, after our observations were completed, with a "binary neutron star merger" probability reduced from 98% to 42% in favor of a "terrestrial" classification.

Spacetime Singularities in (2+1)-Dimensional Quantum Gravity

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

description: The effects of spacetime quantization on black hole and big bang/big crunch singularities can be studied using new tools from (2+1)-dimensional quantum gravity. I investigate effects of spacetime quantization on singularities of the (2+1)-dimensional BTZ black hole and the (2+1)-dimensional torus universe. Hosoya has considered the BTZ black hole, and using a ``quantum generalized affine parameter'' (QGAP), has shown that, for some specific paths, quantum effects ``smear'' the singularity. Using generic gaussian wave functions, I show that both BTZ black hole and the torus universe contain families of paths that still reach the singularities with a finite QGAP, suggesting that singularities persist in quantum gravity. More realistic calculations, using modular invariant wave functions of Carlip and Nelson for the torus universe, further support this conclusion.

On the interplay of harvesting and various diffusion strategies for spatially heterogeneous populations

description: The paper explores the influence of harvesting (or culling) on the outcome of the competition of two species in a spatially heterogeneous environment. The harvesting effort is assumed to be proportional to the space-dependent intrinsic growth rate. The differences between the two populations are the diffusion strategy and the harvesting intensity. In the absence of harvesting, competing populations may either coexist, or one of them may bring the other to extinction. If the latter is the case, introduction of any level of harvesting to the successful species guarantees survival to its non-harvested competitor. In the former case, there is a strip of "close enough" to each other harvesting rates leading to preservation of the original coexistence. Some estimates are obtained for the relation of the harvesting levels providing either coexistence or competitive exclusion.
