description: We have searched for 22 GHz H2O and 43/86/129 GHz SiO masers in bright IRAS point sources in the SMC and LMC, to test whether the kinematics of the mass loss from these stars depends on metallicity. H2O masers were detected in the red supergiants IRAS04553-6825 and IRAS05280-6910, and tentatively in the luminous IR object IRAS05216-6753 and the AGB star IRAS05329-6708. SiO masers were detected in IRAS04553-6825. The outflow velocity increases between the H2O masing zone near the dust-formation region and the more distant OH masing zone from 18 to 26 km/s for IRAS04553-6825 and from 6 to 17 km/s for IRAS05280-6910. The total sample of LMC targets is analysed in comparison with circumstellar masers in the Galactic Centre. The photon fluxes of circumstellar masers in the LMC are very similar to those in the Galactic Centre. The expansion velocities in the LMC appear to be 20% lower than for similarly bright OH masers in the Galactic Centre, but the data are consistent with no difference in expansion velocity. OH/IR stars in the LMC appear to have slower accelerating envelopes than OH/IR stars in the Galactic Centre. Masers in the LMC have blue-asymmetric emission profiles. This may be due to the amplification of stellar and/or free-free radiation, rather than the amplification of dust emission, and may be more pronounced in low metallicity envelopes. SiO maser strength increases with the photometric amplitude at 2.2 micron but is independent of the photometric amplitude at 10 micron. This suggests a strong connection between shocks in the dust-free SiO masing zone and the dust formation process. Appendices describe H2O maser emission from R Dor in the Milky Way, optical echelle spectroscopy of IRAS04553-6825, and the properties of masers in the Galactic Centre (Abridged).

description: Nano-structuring is an extremely promising path to high performance thermoelectrics. Favorable improvements in thermal conductivity are attainable in many material systems, and theoretical work points to large improvements in electronic properties. However, realization of the electronic benefits in practical materials has been elusive experimentally. A key challenge is that experimental identification of the quantum confinement length, below which the thermoelectric power factor is significantly enhanced, remains elusive due to lack of simultaneous control of size and carrier density. Here we investigate gate tunable and temperature-dependent thermoelectric transport in $γ$ phase indium selenide ($γ$ InSe, n type semiconductor) samples with thickness varying from 7 to 29 nm. This allows us to properly map out dimension and doping space. Combining theoretical and experimental studies, we reveal that the sharper pre-edge of the conduction-band density of states arising from quantum confinement gives rise to an enhancement of the Seebeck coefficient and the power factor in the thinner InSe samples. Most importantly, we experimentally identify the role of the competition between quantum confinement length and thermal de Broglie wavelength in the enhancement of power factor. Our results provide an important and general experimental guideline for optimizing the power factor and improving the thermoelectric performance of two-dimensional layered semiconductors.

description: Wavefront sensing and control are important for enabling one of the key advantages of using large apertures, namely higher angular resolutions. Pyramid wavefront sensors are becoming commonplace in new instrument designs owing to their superior sensitivity. However, one remaining roadblock to their widespread use is the fabrication of the pyramidal optic. This complex optic is challenging to fabricate due to the pyramid tip, where four planes need to intersect in a single point. Thus far, only a handful of these have been produced due to the low yields and long lead times. To address this, we present an alternative implementation of the pyramid wavefront sensor that relies on two roof prisms instead. Such prisms are easy and inexpensive to source. We demonstrate the successful operation of the roof prism pyramid wavefront sensor on a 8-m class telescope, at visible and near infrared wavelengths ---for the first time using a SAPHIRA HgCdTe detector without modulation for a laboratory demonstration---, and elucidate how this sensor can be used more widely on wavefront control test benches and instruments.

description: We have studied the nucleation and the physical properties of a -1/2 wedge disclination line near the free surface of a confined nematic liquid crystal. The position of the disclination line has been related to the material parameters (elastic constants, anchoring energy and favored anchoring angle of the molecules at the free surface). The use of a planar model for the structure of the director field (whose predictions have been contrasted to those of a fully three-dimensional model) has allowed us to relate the experimentally observed position of the disclination line to the relevant properties of the liquid crystals. In particular, we have been able to observe the collapse of the disclination line due to a temperature-induced anchoring angle transition, which has allowed us to rule out the presence of a real disclination line near the nematic/isotropic front in directional growth experiments. 61.30.Jf,61.30.Gd

description: We study renormalization group (RG) fixed points of scalar field theories endowed with the discrete symmetry groups of regular polytopes. We employ the functional perturbative renormalization group (FPRG) approach and the $ε$-expansion in $d=d_c-ε$. The upper critical dimensions relevant to our analysis are $d_c = 6,4,\frac{10}{3},3,\frac{14}{5},\frac{8}{3},\frac{5}{2},\frac{12}{5}$; in order to get access to the corresponding RG beta functions, we derive general multicomponent beta functionals $β_V$ and $β_Z$ in the aforementioned upper critical dimensions, most of which are novel. The field theories we analyze have $N=2$ (polygons), $N=3$ (Platonic solids) and $N=4$ (hyper-Platonic solids) field components. The main results of this analysis include a new candidate universality class in three physical dimensions based on the symmetry group $\mathbb{D}_5$ of the Pentagon. Moreover we find new Icosahedron fixed points in $d<3$, the fixed points of the $24$-Cell, multi-critical $O(N)$ and $ϕ^n$-Cubic universality classes.

description: We discuss the basic theoretical framework for non-Hermitian quantum systems with particular emphasis on the diagonalizability of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians and their $GL(1,\mathbb{C})$ gauge freedom, which are relevant to the adiabatic evolution of non-Hermitian quantum systems. We find that the adiabatic evolution is possible only when the eigen-energies are real. The accompanying geometric phase is found to be generally complex and associated with not only the phase of a wavefunction but also its amplitude. The condition for the real geometric phase is laid out. Our results are illustrated with two examples of non-Hermitian $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetric systems, the two-dimensional non-Hermitian Dirac fermion model and bosonic Bogoliubov quasi-particles.

description: We present CCD photometry of SX Phe variables in the field of the globular cluster M 55. We have discovered 27 variables, three of which are probable members of the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy. All of the SX Phe stars in M 55 lie in the blue straggler region of the cluster color-magnitude diagram. Using period ratio information we have identified the radial pulsation modes for one of the observed variables. Inspection of the period-luminosity distribution permits the probable identifications of the pulsation modes for most of the rest of the stars in the sample. We have determined the slope of the period-luminosity relation for SX Phe stars in M 55 pulsating in the fundamental mode. Using this relation and the HIPPARCOS data for SX Phe itself, we have estimated the apparent distance modulus to M 55 to be (m-M)_V=13.86 +- 0.25 mag.

The networks considered here evolve according to the following rules: (i) Each instant a new site is added, the probability of its connection to old sites is proportional to their connectivities. (ii) In addition, (a) new links between some old sites appear with probability proportional to the product of their connectivities or (b) some links between old sites are removed with equal probability.

The transmittance (forward scattering) decays exponentially in either case. In contrast to the disorder in the real part of the potential (Anderson localization), the transmittance with the disordered imaginary part may decay slower than that in the case of ordered imaginary part.

I comment on the development of this situation and present an update of a nearest neighbor measure of the void phenomenon that may be of use in evaluating theories of galaxy formation.

description: We report and analyze the results of numerical studies of dense granular flows in two and three dimensions, using both linear damped springs and Hertzian force laws between particles. Chute flow generically produces a constant density profile that satisfies scaling relations suggestive of a Bagnold grain inertia regime. The type of force law has little impact on the behavior of the system. Bulk and surface flows differ in their failure criteria and flow rheology, as evidenced by the change in principal stress directions near the surface. Surface-only flows are not observed in this geometry.

The low-mass end of accreting supermassive black holes
Creators: name: Mallick, Labani
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: The unification theory of black hole accretion suggests that the accretion process is independent of the black hole mass, and we expect to observe similar accretion properties in sources spanning a wide range of black hole mass. The discovery of scaling relations between the black hole mass and X-ray reverberation lag for both accreting supermassive and stellar-mass black holes is a breakthrough in this context. However, the low-mass end of active galactic nuclei (AGN) has never been explored in detail. For this purpose, we construct a sample of the least-massive AGN from the XMM-Newton archive and measure frequency-resolved time delays between the soft and hard X-ray emission as well as test the predictions of the standard alpha-disc model. We utilize a new high-density disc reflection model where the density parameter varies from ne=1015 to 1020 cm-3 and apply it to the broadband X-ray (0.3-10 keV) spectra of the sample. The X-ray spectra reveal soft X-ray excess below around 1.5 keV, which is well modeled by high-density reflection from an ionized accretion disc of density ne ~1018 cm-3 on average. We detected soft reverberation time lags in some of these AGN which provides the strongest supporting evidence for the reflection origin of the soft X-ray excess. The results suggest a radiation pressure-dominated disc with an average of 70% fraction of the disc power transferred to the corona, consistent with that observed in higher mass AGN. We show that the disc density higher than 1015 cm-3 can result from the radiation pressure compression when the disc surface does not hold a strong magnetic pressure gradient. We find tentative evidence for a drop in black hole spin at low-mass regimes, which hints that the merger of intermediate-mass black hole pairs could be responsible for the formation of the low-mass end of supermassive black holes, which can be confirmed with the future gravitational wave detector LISA.

description: Using projective construction, a generalized parton construction, we construct many non-Abelian quantum Hall (QH) states, which include the Pfaffian state at filling fraction $ν=1/2$. The projective construction allows us to calculate the bulk and the edge effective theory for the constructed QH state. We illustrate how to use the bulk effective theory to calculate the ground state degeneracy of non-Abelian QH liquids on torus. We point out that the full description of the effective theory requires both the effective Lagrangian and the definition of electron operators. The latter generates all physical states and defines the gauge structure of the theory.

description: The temperature and high magnetic field dependence of the longitudinal soundwave mode c_{11} in the two dimensional dimer system SrCu_{2}(BO_{3})_{2} is presented. c_{11}(T) shows anomalies due to strong interdimer spin-strain coupling. We can quantitatively interpret the temperature dependence of c_{11}(T) together with the magnetic susceptibility $χ_{m}(T)$ with a molecular field approximation of coupled dimer triplets. The sound velocity up to 50T shows very sharp softening between the magnetization plateaus at low temperature. We argue that these pronounced effects arise from a resonant interaction between the phonons and the magnetic excitations which show softening between the plateaus.

description: Research documenting the effects of trauma in early childhood describes the profound and long-term consequences of child abuse and neglect on the developing brain and the subsequent deficits in critical cognitive and social development. While educators have increasingly endeavoured to understand this impact and become more ‘trauma-informed’ in their classrooms, little is understood about the process or what it requires of the teacher. This study explores the experiences of six teachers in regional Victoria, Australia, who sought to apply their neuroscientific understandings in their classrooms, and identifies the many personal and professional challenges they confronted. Critical reflection was employed both to deeply explore their collective experiences and to support them in this complex work. Findings describe the nuanced and interpersonal nature of trauma-informed education and imply the need for critical reflection in teacher practice as an important element in the process.

description: Background: The peritoneum is the most frequent site of disease recurrence in gastric cancer, and the prognosis remains poor. This study assessed the role of adjuvant intraperitoneal (IP) chemotherapy with whole abdominal hyperthermia using external radiofrequency in gastric cancer patients after D2 dissection. Methods: Patients with gastric cancer who underwent gastrectomy with D2 regional lymph node dissection were enrolled in the study. Patients received IP chemotherapy with whole abdominal hyperthermia. Preheated normal saline containing 75 mg/m2 of cisplatin was delivered into the abdominal cavity through a Tenckhoff catheter at McBurney’s point. Regional hyperthermia was performed using two sets of orthogonal radiofrequency waves immediately after all saline was irrigated into the abdominal cavity. For each patient, recurrent or metastatic sites and adverse events were evaluated. Results: A total of 22 patients were finally included. All patients tolerated hyperthermia well. Only two patients experienced grade 1 superficial thermal injury. The most frequent grade 3/4 adverse events were myelosuppression, nausea/vomiting, trichomadesis and liver dysfunction. We also found IP chemotherapy with whole abdominal hyperthermia could reduce the total recurrent/metastatic rate, especially peritoneal metastasis (4.5%). Conclusions: This hypothesis-generating study indicated that IP chemotherapy with whole abdominal hyperthermia might be feasible for gastric cancer patients after D2 resection.

description: We study supergravity BPS equations which correspond to mass-deformation of some representative AdS/CFT examples. The field theory of interest are N=4, D=4 super Yang-Mills, the ABJM model in D=3, and the Brandhuber-Oz fixed point in D=5. For these gauge theories the free energy with mass terms for matter multiplets is calculable in large-N limit using supersymmetric localization technique. We suggest a perturbative method to solve the supergravity equations. For the dual of mass-deformed ABJM model we reproduce the known exact solutions. For the mass-deformed Brandhuber-Oz theory our method gives the holographic free energy in analytic form. For N=2* theory our result is in good agreement with the localization result.

FA (0, 0.2, 0.5 and 1 g L−1 C-FA) was applied to coffee leaves in three different application modes (M): with 0.3% Zn and 0.6% B supplied via foliar (M1), 0.6% B and 1.2% Zn supplied via foliar (M2) and 1.2 mg kg−1 B and 6 mg kg−1 Zn supplied via soil (M3). HA addition in soil significantly (p 1 and M2, FA application significantly (p −1 and B accumulation at 0.96 and 0.45 g L−1 C-FA. Foliar application of C-FA, instead soil application of C-HA, is a suitable practice to improve coffee seedlings growth and nutrition on Oxisol.

description: Gravitational weak shear produced by large-scale structures of the universe induces a correlated ellipticity distribution of distant galaxies. The amplitude and evolution with angular scale of the signal depend on cosmological models and can be inverted in order to constrain the power spectrum and the cosmological parameters. We present our recent analysis of 50 uncorrelated VLT fields and the very first constrains on ($Ω_m,σ_8$) and the nature of primordial fluctuations based on the join analysis of present-day cosmic shear surveys.

description: Streptococcus canis is a zoonotic agent that causes serious invasive diseases in domestic animals and humans, but knowledge about its pathogenic potential and underlying virulence mechanisms is limited. Here, we report on the ability of certain S. canis isolates to form large bacterial aggregates when grown in liquid broth. Bacterial aggregation was attributed to the presence and the self-binding activity of SCM, the M protein of S. canis, as evaluated by bacterial sedimentation assays, immunofluorescence- and electron microscopic approaches. Using a variety of truncated recombinant SCM fragments, we demonstrated that homophilic SCM interactions occur via the N-terminal, but not the C-terminal part, of the mature M protein. Interestingly, when incubated in human plasma, SCM forms soluble protein complexes comprising its known ligands, immunoglobulin G (IgG) and plasminogen (Plg). Co-incubation studies with purified host proteins revealed that SCM-mediated complex formation is based on the interaction of SCM with itself and with IgG, but not with Plg or fibrinogen (Fbg), well-established constituents of M protein-mediated protein complexes in human-associated streptococci. Notably, these soluble, SCM-mediated plasma complexes harbored complement factor C1q, which can induce complement breakdown in the periphery and therefore represent another immune evasion mechanism of SCM.
Detection of Coronal Magnetic Activity in Nearby Active Supermassive Black Holes

description: Central supermassive black holes of active galactic nuclei host hot plasma with a temperature of $10^9$ K, namely coronae. Like the Sun, black hole coronae are theoretically believed to be heated by their magnetic activity, which have never been observed yet. Here we report the detection of coronal radio synchrotron emission from two nearby Seyfert galaxies using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array, and Australia Telescope Compact Array. The coronal magnetic field of both systems is estimated to be $\sim10$ Gauss on scales of $\sim40$ Schwarzschild radii from the central black holes. This magnetic field strength is weaker than the prediction from the magnetically heated corona scenario. We also find that coronae of Seyferts are composed of both thermal and non-thermal electrons. This may imply a possible contribution of Seyferts to the cosmic MeV gamma-ray background radiation.

Coherent current states in mesoscopic four-terminal Josephson junction

description: A theory is offered for the ballistic 4-terminal Josephson junction. The studied system consists of a mesoscopic two-dimensional normal rectangular layer which is attached in each side to the bulk superconducting banks (terminals). The relation between the currents through the different terminals, which is valid for arbitrary temperatures and junction sizes, is obtained. The nonlocal coupling of the supercurrents leads to a new effect, specific for the mesoscopic weak link between two superconducting rings; an applied magnetic flux through one of the rings produces a magnetic flux in the other ring even in the absence of an external flux through the other one. The phase dependent distributions of the local density of Andreev states, of the supercurrents and of the induced order parameter are obtained. The "interference pattern" for the anomalous average inside the two dimensional region can be regulated by the applied magnetic fluxes or the transport currents. For some values of the phase differences between the terminals, the current vortex state and the two dimensional phase slip center are appeared.

To adapt or to defend? Comparing position shifts among Bundestag candidates between 2013 and 2017

description: In this research note, candidate survey data from the German Longitudinal Election Study (GLES) is used to analyse positional shifts of German Bundestag parties between 2013 and 2017. Two developments make Germany a particularly interesting case: (1) the liberal but also controversial policies of the Merkel cabinet during the European refugee crisis and (2) the change of leadership within the right-wing populist party Alternative für Deutschland (AfD). Applying scaling techniques to locate candidates of both elections in the same two-dimensional policy space, the analysis demonstrates that in 2017 the AfD took a distinct radical right position in the party system of Germany. Moreover, the study finds that almost all parties moved to the right on the cultural left–right dimension in 2017, whereas for the economic left–right dimension this has not been the case. Contrary to the mantra of an ideological delineation against right-wing populism, there has been a robust socio-political conservative shift in the German party system.
Dynamical splitting of cubic crystal field levels in rare-earth cage compounds

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The Crystalline Electric Field (CEF) influence is usually described by considering an ideally symmetrical rare-earth site. In the case of cage compounds, ample excursions of the rare-earth inside the cage require an adapted CEF description. A corrective, position dependent, CEF term accounts for the deviation from the perfect symmetry. In the paramagnetic range, a CEF level with orbital degeneracy thus acquires a width reflecting the rare-earth spatial distribution. In the case, frequent in cubic systems, of an orbitally degenerate CEF ground state at the center, this width introduces an additional energy scale, influential at low temperature. A spherical simplification allows to identify the major consequences of a cage-split ground multiplet: a Schottky-like anomaly appears in the specific heat with associated reduction of the magnetic entropy and alteration of the magnetic properties. Concomitantly, a centrifugal Jahn-Teller effect develops that expands the distribution of the magnetic ion and softens the rattling phonons. These effects are confronted with anomalous paramagnetic properties of rare-earth cage compounds, notably rare-earth filled skutterudites and hexaborides.
The effects of deer and an invasive shrub, Lonicera maackii, on forest understory plant composition

description: Overabundant generalist ungulates and invasive plants negatively impact forest plants, but few studies have investigated how these stressors interact. We tested the impacts after 5–6 years of exclusion vs. access of white-tailed deer and the presence or removal of an invasive shrub, Lonicera maackii (Amur honeysuckle), on forest understory plant composition in Ohio, USA. Exclusion of deer resulted in increased tree seedling density and species richness, and increased shrub basal area, but decreased species richness of the forest floor layer, as well as decreased cover of bare ground and annual plants. The removal of L. maackii resulted in impacts on a broader range of understory plants, including greater species richness and cover of the forest floor layer, and greater cover of graminoids and vines specifically. There were also interaction effects between deer and L. maackii. Where deer were excluded and L. maackii was removed, there was greater cover of tree seedlings, vines, and spring perennials, and a tendency for greater native species richness. These findings reveal that deer and invasive shrubs have synergistic effects on forest understories, indicating that management of both is warranted.

description: We discuss in detail properties of trapped atomic condensates with anisotropic dipole interactions. A practical procedure for constructing anisotropic low energy pseudo potentials is proposed and justified by the agreement with results of numerical multi-channel calculations. The time dependent variational method is adapted to reveal several interesting features observed in numerical solutions of condensate wave function. Collective low energy shape oscillations and their stability inside electric fields are investigated. Our results shed new light into macroscopic coherence properties of interacting quantum degenerate atomic gases.

description: We present a correlation between the ACME/SP94 CMB anisotropy data at 25 to 45 GHz with the IRAS/DIRBE data and the Haslam 408 MHz data. We find a marginal correlation between the dust and the Q-band CMB data but none between the CMB data and the Haslam map. While the amplitude of the correlation with the dust is larger than that expected from naive models of dust emission it does not dominate the sky emission.
