description: Ultra-fast outflows (UFOs) have been detected in the high-quality X-ray spectra of a number of active galactic nuclei (AGN) with fairly high accretion rates and are thought to significantly contribute to the AGN feedback. After a decade of dedicated study, their launching mechanisms and structure are still not well understood, but variability techniques may provide useful constraints. In this work, therefore, we perform a flux-resolved X-ray spectroscopy on a highly accreting and variable NLS1 AGN, 1H 0707-495, using all archival XMM-Newton observations to study the structure of the UFO. We find that the wind spectral lines weaken at higher luminosities, most likely due to an increasing ionization parameter as previously found in a few similar sources. Instead, the velocity is anticorrelated with the luminosity, which is opposite to the trend observed in the NLS1 IRAS 13224-3809. Furthermore, the detection of the emission lines, which are not observed in IRAS 13224-3809, indicates a wind with a larger opening angle in 1H 0707-495, presumably due to a higher accretion rate. The emitting gas is found to remain broadly constant with the luminosity. We describe the variability of the wind with a scenario where the strong radiation extends the launch radius outwards and shields the outer emitting gas, similarly to super-Eddington compact objects, although other possible explanations are discussed. Our work provides several hints for a multi-phase outflow in 1H 0707-495.

The impacts of New Town development : considering the case Jinju Innovation City, South Korea
Creators: name: Lee, Jongmoon

Subjects: New Town development
Innovation City
South Korea

description: The New Town concept originated with the British “new community,” which was an attempt to solve the urban problems arising from the Industrial Revolution. New-town development was carried out globally as part of recovery projects in the aftermath of World War II. The developmental process of South Korea and the development of New Towns are closely related. The development of land devastated by the Korean War into large-scale New Town complexes and high-density apartment-oriented housing was chosen by the Korean government as the best developmental strategy considering the lack of flat land, increasing population and rapid urbanization. Under the goal of efficiency and productivity, the Korean government adopted Western development models and has been implementing centralized and top-down regional development. However, the government and other project implementers have not paid much attention to the relationships with old towns around the New Town. The large-scale development of New Towns has had a profound impact on the adjacent cities, and the discrepancy and inequality between the old town and the New Town could cause social problems and regional conflicts. In this report, I discuss ‘Innovation City’, the most recently developed New Town in Korea, and the impact of the creation of New Towns on adjacent cities. In my case study of Jinju Innovation City, I found that the development of the Innovation City contributed to the local economy by increasing tax revenue and job creation but also led to significant changes in production by industry. I also found that residents of Jinju preferred the Innovation City over the old town. Because of the population outflow from the adjacent old towns to the Innovation City and the weakening of the industrial structure of the old towns in the education industry and other areas essential to life, it is necessary to consider the impacts of Innovation City development on underprivileged members of society.

description: We present observations of SCP 06F6, an unusual optical transient discovered during the Hubble Space Telescope Cluster Supernova Survey. The transient brightened over a period of ~100 days, reached a peak magnitude of ~21.0 in both i_775 and z_850, and then declined over a similar timescale. There is no host galaxy or progenitor star detected at the location of the transient to a 3 sigma upper limit of i_775 = 26.4 and z_850 = 26.1, giving a corresponding lower limit on the flux increase of a factor of ~120. Multiple spectra show five broad absorption bands between 4100 AA and 6500 AA and a mostly featureless continuum longward of 6500 AA. The shape of the lightcurve is inconsistent with microlensing. The transient's spectrum, in addition to being inconsistent with all known supernova types, is not matched to any spectrum in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) database. We suggest that the transient may be one of a new class.

description: We present a logical calculus for reasoning about information flow in quantum programs. In particular we introduce a dynamic logic that is capable of dealing with quantum measurements, unitary evolutions and entanglements in compound quantum systems. We give a syntax and a relational semantics in which we abstract away from phases and probabilities. We present a sound proof system for this logic, and we show how to characterize by logical means various forms of entanglement (e.g. the Bell states) and various linear operators. As an example we sketch an analysis of the teleportation protocol.

Non-Fourier heat transport in metal-dielectric core-shell nanoparticles under ultrafast laser pulse excitation

description: Relaxation dynamics of embedded metal nanoparticles after ultrafast laser pulse excitation is driven by thermal phenomena of different origins the accurate description of which is crucial for interpreting experimental results: hot electron gas generation, electron-phonon coupling, heat transfer to the particle environment and heat propagation in the latter. Regardingthis last mechanism, it is well known that heat transport in nanoscale structures and/or at ultrashort timescales may deviate from the predictions of the Fourier law. In these cases heat transport may rather be described by the Boltzmann transport equation. We present a numerical model allowing us to determine the electron and lattice temperature dynamics in a spherical gold nanoparticle core under subpicosecond pulsed excitation, as well as that of the surrounding shell dielectric medium. For this, we have used the electron-phonon coupling equation in the particle with a source term linked with the laser pulse absorption, and the ballistic-diffusive equations for heat conduction in the host medium. Either thermalizing or adiabatic boundary conditions have been considered at the shell external surface. Our results show that the heat transfer rate from the particle to the matrix can be significantly smaller than the prediction of Fourier's law. Consequently, the particle temperature rise is larger and its cooling dynamics might be slower than that obtained by using Fourier's law. This difference is attributed to the nonlocal and nonequilibrium heat conduction in the vicinity of the core nanoparticle. These results are expected to be of great importance for analyzing pump-probe experiments performed on single nanoparticles or nanocomposite media.

description: Existing exoplanet radial velocity surveys are complete in the planetary mass-semimajor axis (Mp-a) plane over the range 0.1 AU < a < 2.0 AU where Mp >~ 100 M_Earth. We marginalize over mass in this complete domain of parameter space and demonstrate that the observed semimajor axis distribution is inconsistent with models of planet formation that use the full Type I migration rate derived from a linear theory and that do not include the effect of the ice line on the disk surface density profile. However, the efficiency of Type I migration can be suppressed by both nonlinear feedback and the barriers introduced by local maxima in the disk pressure distribution, and we confirm that the synthesized Mp-a distribution is compatible with the observed data if we account for both retention of protoplanetary embryos near the ice line and an order-of-magnitude reduction in the efficiency of Type I migration. The validity of these assumption can be checked because they also predict a population of short-period rocky planets with a range of masses comparable to that of the Earth as well as a "desert" in the Mp-a distribution centered around Mp ~ 30-50 M_Earth and a < 1 AU. We show that the expected "desert" in the Mp-a plane will be discernible by a radial velocity survey with 1 m/s precision and n ~ 700 radial velocity observations of program stars.

By means of two prototype chiral models for the heavy spin-1 bosons, a "composite" model or a "gauge" model, we discuss if and how the sole exchange of the same fields can also account for the ElectroWeak Precision Tests. While this proves impossible in the gauge model, the composite model hints to a positive solution, which we exploit to constrain the phenomenological properties of the heavy vectors.

description: (Abridged) Finite radius accretion disks are a strong candidate for launching astrophysical jets from their inner parts and disk-winds are considered as the basic component of such magnetically collimated outflows. The only available analytical MHD solutions for describing disk-driven jets are those characterized by the symmetry of radial self-similarity. Radially self-similar MHD models, in general, have two geometrical shortcomings, a singularity at the jet axis and the non-existence of an intrinsic radial scale, i.e. the jets formally extend to radial infinity. Hence, numerical simulations are necessary to extend the analytical solutions towards the axis and impose a physical boundary at finite radial distance. We focus here on studying the effects of imposing an outer radius of the underlying accreting disk (and thus also of the outflow) on the topology, structure and variability of a radially self-similar analytical MHD solution. The initial condition consists of a hybrid of an unchanged and a scaled-down analytical solution, one for the jet and the other for its environment. In all studied cases, we find at the end steady two-component solutions.

In this work, we point out that this modification will necessarily introduce new degrees of freedom. We analyze the possibility that these new gravitational states can provide the main contribution to the non-baryonic dark matter of the Universe. Unfortunately, the right ultraviolet completion of gravity is still unresolved. For this reason, we will illustrate this idea with the simplest high energy modification of the Einstein-Hilbert action: R^2-gravity.

Abstract:

Turbulence remains one of the leading causes of in-flight injuries and discomfort in commercial aviation, significantly affecting both passengers and crew members. While technological advances have improved forecasting and aircraft design, human response and communication protocols remain critical components in ensuring onboard safety and passenger reassurance. This paper presents a practical and adaptable Turbulence Communication Protocol, developed through direct international operational experience. The protocol emphasizes proactive communication, emotional reassurance, and structured crew coordination to mitigate anxiety, reduce risks, and uphold service excellence during turbulent episodes.

description: Context: Ultraviolet radiation (UV) influences the physics and chemistry of star-forming regions, but its properties and significance in the immediate surroundings of low-mass protostars are still poorly understood. Aims: We aim to extend the use of the CN/HCN ratio, already established for high-mass protostars, to the low-mass regime to trace and characterize the UV field around low-mass protostars on $\sim 0.6\times0.6$ pc scales. Methods: We present $5'\times5'$ maps of the Serpens Main Cloud encompassing 10 protostars observed with the EMIR receiver at the IRAM 30 m telescope in CN 1-0, HCN 1-0, CS 3-2, and some of their isotopologues. The radiative-transfer code RADEX and the chemical model Nahoon are used to determine column densities of molecules, gas temperature and density, and the UV field strength, $G_\mathrm{0}$. Results: The spatial distribution of HCN and CS are well-correlated with CO 6-5 emission that traces outflows. The CN emission is extended from the central protostars to their immediate surroundings also tracing outflows, likely as a product of HCN photodissociation. The ratio of CN to HCN total column densities ranges from $\sim$1 to 12 corresponding to G$_0$ $\approx$ $10^{1}-10^{3}$ for gas densities and temperatures typical for outflows of low-mass protostars. Conclusions: UV radiation associated with protostars and their outflows is indirectly identified in a significant part of the Serpens Main low-mass star-forming region. Its strength is consistent with the values obtained from the OH and H$_2$O ratios observed with Herschel and compared with models of UV-illuminated shocks. From a chemical viewpoint, the CN to HCN ratio is an excellent tracer of UV fields around low- and intermediate-mass star-forming regions.

description: We present results of detailed investigation of the poorly studied X-ray pulsar 2S 1845$-$024 based on the data obtained with $NuSTAR$ observatory during the type I outburst in 2017. Neither pulse phase-averaged, nor phase-resolved spectra of the source show evidence for a cyclotron absorption feature. We also used the data obtained from other X-ray observatories ($Swift$, $XMM-Newton$ and $Chandra$) to study the spectral properties as a function of orbital phase. The analysis revealed a high hydrogen column density for the source reaching $\sim$10$^{24}$ cm$^{-2}$ around the periastron. Using high-quality $Chandra$ data we were able to obtain an accurate localization of 2S 1845$-$024 at R.A. = 18$^{h}$48$^{m}$16$^{s}$.8 and Dec. = $-$2$^{\circ}$25'25".1 (J2000) that allowed us to use infrared (IR) data to roughly classify the optical counterpart of the source as an OB supergiant at the distance of $\gtrsim$15 kpc.

description: To fulfill two integral aims of abating cellular traffic and enhancing efficiency of cellular network, D2D is considered as a novel channel of communication. This form of communication has introduced for 4th cellular communication and enacts a significant role in the 5th generation. Four D2D communication scenarios defined in the references, includes direct D2D and relaying D2D communication both with and without cellular infrastructure. One of the major challenges addressing D2D protocols contributes to the fact that they have one single secure protocol that can adapt to the four scenarios. In the current study, we propose a secure D2D protocol based on ARIADNE. To authenticate and key agreement between Source and Destination, we employ LTE-A AKA protocol, further for broadcast authentication between relaying nodes TESLA was applied. In Contrary to the recent protocols, our proposed protocol has inconsiderable computation overhead and trivial communication overhead than SODE and preserve many security properties such as Authentication, Authorization, Confidentiality, Integrity, Secure Key Agreement, and Secure Routing Transmission. We check Authentication, Confidentiality, Reachability, and Secure Key Agreement of the proposed protocol with ProVerif verification tools.

description: Excerpts from the Introduction: This bibliography brings down to date compilations made in 1922 which were summarized in a paper by the undersigned entitled "Food Control During Forty-six Centuries: A Contribution to the History of Price Fixing" read before the Agricultural History Society on March 10, 1922. This paper was mimeographed by this Bureau and later printed in the Scientific Monthly, v. 16, no. 6, June 1923. In addition to the references in these earlier compilations, which dealt only with food and were limited to outstanding examples of price fixing prior to 1800, the present bibliography has been enlarged to include references on other agricultural products. Non-agricultural commodities are included when they are mentioned in connection with agricultural products or in general discussions of the subject. An effort has been made to confine the bibliography to cases of specific price fixing. When governments establish monopolies they usually reserve to themselves, for purposes of revenue, the exclusive privilege of the sale and manufacture of the commodity in question. As this practice implies price fixing, references on monopolies have been included.
Parity and Time-Reversal Breaking Effects on Resonant X-Ray Scattering at the Fe Pre-K-Edge in Magnetite

description: We study noncentrosymmetric effects on resonant x-ray scattering (RXS) in magnetite. The noncentrosymmetry at A sites in spinel structure makes the 4p states strongly hybridize with the 3d states through neighboring oxygen 2p states, giving rise to the non-vanishing contribution of the dipole-quadrupole (E1-E2) process in the RXS spectra. We substantiate this observation by introducing a microscopic model of a FeO_4 cluster with multiplets and the 4p band. We show that the hybridization changes its sign between two kinds of A sites and accordingly the local amplitude from the E1-E2 process changes its sign, resulting in non-vanishing RXS intensities at forbidden spots (002) and (006) in the pre-edge region in agreement with the experiment. A large dependence of the pre-edge intensity on the direction of the applied magnetic field is predicted as a consequence of breaking both centrosymmetry and time-reversal symmetry. Furthermore we analyze the intensity difference between two opposite directions of the applied magnetic field at the allowed spot (222) in connection with the experiment. We obtain the intensity difference of a "dispersion" form, which resembles the observed spectra at the Mn pre-K-edge in MnCr_2O_4 but is quite different from the observed one in magnetite. Although the observed spectra are claimed to arise from "magnetoelectric" amplitude, we argue that this claim has no ground.

Covalent binding of methionine and tryptophan to soy protein
Creators: name: Voutsinas, Leandros Panagis
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: One common method of improving the nutritional quality of certain food proteins is through fortification with necessary amounts of limiting essential amino acids. This simple and convenient method, however, is not the best. Several disadvantages are associated with the addition of free amino acids to food proteins, such as changes in flavor and color, losses of added amino acids during food processing or cooking, differences in stability and metabolism between free amino acids and amino acids in proteins. Covalent attachment of the limiting amino acids, however, should eliminate these problems, and moreover, could improve the nutritional and functional properties of food proteins. In this study, therefore, an attempt to improve the nutritional value of the soy protein was made by using the carbodiimide condensation reaction to covalently bind methionine and tryptophan to soy protein. In order to confine as much as possible the binding, of amino acid to the protein a-carboxyl groups the soy protein isolate (SPI) was partially hydrolyzed with pepsin to increase the number of a-carboxyls in soy protein. Various conditions of the carbodiimide reaction were analysed by a fractional factorial design in an attempt to determine the factors affecting the amino acid binding to soy protein hydrolysate (SPH). Of the factors investigated, pH, SPH concentration, carbodiimide concentration, activation time and reaction time were found to significantly affect the methionine binding efficiency, whereas pH, SPH concentration, carbodiimide concentration, amino acid concentration and reaction temperature were found to significantly influence the tryptophan binding efficiency to SPH. To determine the best level for each of the selected factors an optimization of the carbodiimide reaction conditions was conducted by carrying out another factorial experiment. Thus, under the best condition found, the methionine and tryptophan contents of methionine - and tryptophan-bound SPH samples were increased 7.7-fold and 18.0-fold, respectively. An in vitro pepsin-pancreatin digestion test demonstrated that the bound amino acids were readily released. In order to improve the low yield of the final product, another analysis of the carbodiimide reaction conditions was carried out. Since the yield could not be markedly improved by this factorial design in which peptic SPH was used, SPI without preliminary hydrolysis was used as the starting material. A product with 95-99% yield was obtained and its methionine or tryptophan content was increased 6.3-fold or 11.3-fold, respectively. High digestibility was still maintained for these products. Gel filtration chromatography demonstrated that the carbodiimide reaction caused an increase in the molecular weights of soy protein fractions. Furthermore, gel filtration chromatography revealed that, there was no selective amino acid binding among the different soy protein fractions during the carbodiimide reaction.

description: Public health nursing in all its phases such as education of public health nurses, numbers and types of positions, number of public health nurses to fill these positions, has been steadily improving and increasing since it began many years ago. There are many factors re­sponsible for this; private foundations end charities have sponsored such work among the poor, school boards have seen the need for school nurses, state and counties have recognized the importance of the public health nurse in the various health programs, and nationally, the Children' s Bureau and the United States Public Health Service has long recognized its importance.

description: Variational phase-field methods have been shown powerful for the modeling of complex crack propagation without a priori knowledge of the crack path or ad hoc criteria. However, phase-field models suffer from their energy functional being non-linear and non-convex, while requiring a very fine mesh to capture the damage gradient. This implies a high computational cost, limiting concrete engineering applications of the method. In this work, we propose an efficient and robust fully monolithic solver for phase-field fracture using a modified Newton method with inertia correction and an energy line-search. To illustrate the gains in efficiency obtained with our approach, we compare it to two popular methods for phase-field fracture, namely the alternating minimization and the quasi-monolithic schemes. To facilitate the evaluation of the time step dependent quasi-monolithic scheme, we couple the latter with an extrapolation correction loop controlled by a damage-based criteria. Finally, we show through four benchmark tests that the modified Newton method we propose is straightforward, robust, and leads to identical solutions, while offering a reduction in computation time by factors of up to 12 and 6 when compared to the alternating minimization and quasi-monolithic schemes.

description: As one surveys the Public Health field it seems odd that there is not a generally accepted definition of its aims. That may not be an indictment, as this is a relatively young public service, and like a very active ameba, it is placing out many pseudopods in discovering its relationships. As a part of the program in fostering good health, with emphasis on both physical and mental health, an individual concerning himself with such service must include, then, mental hygiene. we must have some concept of its background, some realization of its need, and some conviction of the value of the psychiatric casework approach to people.

description: Широкий спектр геологічних умов формування складу підземних вод в Україні призводить до того, що в деяких
 областях України для частини джерел питного водопостачання характерні підвищені рівні природної радіоактивності. Наслідком цього є перевищення встановлених гігієнічних нормативів за радіаційними показниками і ризики додаткового опромінення від споживання питної води. Ризики можуть бути викликані такими факторами: вживання води для пиття, з їжею;
 вдиханням повітря, яке містить радон-222, що надійшов з води в приміщення під час приймання душу, приготування
 їжі; неправильне поводження з фільтрами систем очищення води у домогосподарстві тощо.

description: We present a highly reliable flux-limited census of 18,949 point sources in the Galactic mid-plane that have intrinsically red mid-infrared colors. These sources were selected from the Spitzer Space Telescope GLIMPSE I and II surveys of 274 deg^2 of the Galactic mid-plane, and consist mostly of high- and intermediate- mass young stellar objects (YSOs) and asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars. The selection criteria were carefully chosen to minimize the effects of position- dependent sensitivity, saturation, and confusion. The distribution of sources on the sky and their location in IRAC and MIPS 24 microns color-magnitude and color-color space are presented. Using this large sample, we find that YSOs and AGB stars can be mostly separated by simple color-magnitude selection criteria into approximately 50-70% of YSOs and 30-50% of AGB stars. Planetary nebulae and background galaxies together represent at most 2-3% of all the red sources. 1,004 red sources in the GLIMPSE II region, mostly AGB stars with high mass- loss rates, show significant (>0.3 mag) variability at 4.5 and/or 8.0 microns. With over 11,000 likely YSOs and over 7,000 likely AGB stars, this is to date the largest uniform census of AGB stars and high- and intermediate mass YSOs in the Milky-Way Galaxy.

description: One of the most outstanding dangers to public health, family, and physical health of this modern day is the pre­valence of syphilis. The combat of preventing the progress and continued spreading of this communicable disease stands out as one of the big problems that we in public health work must attempt to solve. The prevention of venereal disease has long been a fight carried on in the name of law, personal rights and religion. The difficulties arising in this particular type of disease seem often unsurmountable, however with and intelligent and persistent campaign the end will be successful.

description: These years much effort has been devoted to improving the accuracy or relevance of the recommendation system. Diversity, a crucial factor which measures the dissimilarity among the recommended items, received rather little scrutiny. Directly related to user satisfaction, diversification is usually taken into consideration after generating the candidate items. However, this decoupled design of diversification and candidate generation makes the whole system suboptimal. In this paper, we aim at pushing the diversification to the upstream candidate generation stage, with the help of Graph Convolutional Networks (GCN). Although GCN based recommendation algorithms have shown great power in modeling complex collaborative filtering effect to improve the accuracy of recommendation, how diversity changes is ignored in those advanced works. We propose to perform rebalanced neighbor discovering, category-boosted negative sampling and adversarial learning on top of GCN. We conduct extensive experiments on real-world datasets. Experimental results verify the effectiveness of our proposed method on diversification. Further ablation studies validate that our proposed method significantly alleviates the accuracy-diversity dilemma.

description: Excerpts from the Foreword: This bibliography supplements the United States section of Agricultural Economics Bibliography No. 18, Price Fixing by Governments 424 B.C.-1926 A. D. It differs from the earlier bibliography in that it is limited to references on the subject of direct price fixing of agricultural products by the Federal and State governments and is not concerned, except incidentally, with the subjects of indirect price fixing and price stabilization and control. Although there were numerous proposals for price fixing during the period 1926 through the first part of 1939, practically the only direct price fixing of agricultural products by government, has been that carried out under the Agricultural Adjustment Act, the Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act of 1937, the State milk control acts and the State agricultural adjustment acts. Milk is the outstanding commodity for which prices have been fixed under all of these acts. For this reason, a large part of the bibliography is devoted to references on price fixing of milk.

description: Excerpt from the Foreword: This bibliography is to a certain extent a supplement to the foreign section of Agricultural Economics Bibliography, No. 18, Price Fixing by Governments 424 B.C.-1926 A. D. It differs from it in that it deals exclusively with direct price fixing and is only incidentally concerned with indirect price fixing and price stabilization and control. Hence references to such price-influencing schemes as coffee valorization in Brazil, the Chadbourne sugar plan, the Stevenson rubber plan, Egyptian cotton restriction, Cuban sugar restriction, Canadian wheat pools, the Paterson butter plan in Australia, or to the numerous measures adopted in many countries requiring the admixture of stipulated percentages of domestic wheat in the manufacture of flour for domestic consumption have been omitted. Measures adopted to control or stabilize prices, such as levies, quotas, licenses, price equalization or the granting of bounties are omitted. References to guaranteed prices and the so-called price insurance schemes are included.
