description: Florida Bay nutrient budgets have shown that the majority of existing and influent nitrogen (N) is in organic forms. Consequently, local remineralization processes have been found to regulate the supply of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN). Sponges have dominated benthic animal biomass in Florida Bay and are known to influence local DIN concentrations through remineralization organic matter, yet the role of these organisms in local N budgets is largely unaddressed. We quantified the role of sponges in N cycling in Florida Bay during 2012–2013 by constructing an N budget for a sponge-rich basin. Surveys of sponge biomass conducted in Mystery Basin found sponges at 57 of the 59 assessed stations. Sponge population maxima reached 21 individuals m−2 and biomass contributions as high as 4.4 Lsponge m−2. We estimated an average areal DIN contribution from total sponge biomass of 0.59 ± 0.28 mmol N m−2 d−1. However, calculated fluxes from the 59 stations exhibited significant spatial variability associated with changes in the size and species composition of the sponge community; peak N fluxes reached 3.5 ± 0.9 mmol N m−2 d−1 in areas with large populations of high microbial abundance sponges. The average flux from the sponge community was the largest of the estimated sources of DIN to Mystery Basin, representing roughly half of the overall N sourcing. This N satisfied more than half of the demand by primary productivity. These results indicate that sponges are important sources of inorganic N to Florida Bay environments.
La physiocratie dans les dictionnaires du XVIIIᵉ siècle

description: Over the years, the presence of physiocracy in the dictionaries of the eighteenth century is characterized by a continuity in which the distinction between the ideas and the actions of the physiocrats, often considered as abstract and sectarian, becomes clear. During the Revolution, faced with the political emergency, which left little space for reflection on economic theory, dictionaries that mention Quesnay and his followers are rare. Nevertheless, the physiocratic ideas on the freedom of trade, the preference for direct taxation, the political significance of the \emph{impôt territorial} on landed property, were now an acknowledged knowledge. Gautier's Dictionnaire de la Constitution is an exception. Going back to the circles that nourished his political radicalism, one encounters another example of physiocratic survival in the thought of the Marquis de Girardin. Gautier and Girardin, from their different backgrounds and in the radicalism of their positions, are both testimonies of an idea of democracy that associated representation and participation and considered the constitutional and economic dimensions inseparable. One finds there also the political legacy of physiocracy. English title: Physiocracy in Eighteenth-Century Dictionaries.

description: Nowadays neutron scattering science is increasing its instrumental power. Most of the neutron sources in the world are pushing the development of their technologies to be more performing. The neutron scattering development is also pushed by the European Spallation Source (ESS) in Sweden, a neutron facility which has just started construction. Concerning small area detectors (1m^2), the 3He technology, which is today cutting edge, is reaching fundamental limits in its development. Counting rate capability, spatial resolution and cost-effectiveness, are only a few examples of the features that must be improved to fulfill the new requirements. On the other hand, 3He technology could still satisfy the detector requirements for large area applications (50m^2), however, because of the present 3He shortage that the world is experiencing, this is not practical anymore. The recent detector advances (the Multi-Grid and the Multi-Blade prototypes) developed in the framework of the collaboration between the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL) and ESS are presented in this manuscript. In particular two novel 10B-based detectors are described; one for large area applications (the Multi-Grid prototype) and one for application in neutron refectometry (small area applications, the Multi-Blade prototype).

description: Marennine is a water-soluble blue-green pigment produced by the marine diatom Haslea ostrearia. The diatom and its pigment are well known from oyster farming areas as the source of the greening of oyster gills, a natural process increasing their market value in Western France. Blooms of blue Haslea are also present outside oyster ponds and hence marine organisms can be exposed, periodically and locally, to significant amounts of marennine in natural environments. Due to its demonstrated antibacterial activities against marine pathogenic bacteria (e.g. Vibrio) and possible prophylactic effects toward bivalve larvae, marennine is of special interest for the aquaculture industry, especially bivalve hatcheries. The present study aimed to provide new insights into the effects of marennine on a large spectrum of marine organisms belonging to different phyla, including species of aquaculture interest and organisms frequently employed in standardised ecotoxicological assays. Different active solutions containing marennine were tested: partially purified Extracellular Marennine (EMn), and concentrated solutions of marennine present in H. ostrearia culture supernatant; the Blue Water (BW) and a new process called Concentrated Supernatant (CS). Biological effects were meanwhile demonstrated in invertebrate species for the three marennine-based solutions at the highest concentrations tested (e.g., decrease of fertilization success, delay of embryonic developmental stages or larval mortality). Exposure to low concentrations did not impact larval survival or development and even tended to enhance larval physiological state. Furthermore, no effects of marennine were observed on the fish gill cell line tested. Marennine could be viewed as a Jekyll and Hyde molecule, which possibly affects the earliest stages of development of some organisms but with no direct impacts on adults. Our results emphasize the need to determine dosages that optimize beneficial effects and critical concentrations not to be exceeded before considering the use of marennine in bivalve or fish hatcheries.

description: We study the effect of interactions on the properties of a model 2D topological Kondo insulator phase. Loosely motivated by recent proposals where graphene is hybridized with impurity bands from heavy adatoms with partially filled d-shells, we introduce a model Hamiltonian which we believe captures the essential physics of the different competing phases. We show that there are generically three possible phases with different combinations of Kondo screening and magnetic order. Perhaps the most dramatic example of many-body physics in symmetry protected topological phases is the existence of the exotic edge states. We demonstrate that our mean field model contains a region with a time-reversal invariant bulk phase but where TR symmetry is spontaneously broken at the edge. Such a phase would not be possible in a non-interacting model. We also comment on the stability of this phase beyond mean field theory.

description: The Southern African Large Telescope (SALT) survey of helium-rich hot subdwarfs aims to explore evolutionary pathways amongst groups of highly-evolved stars. The selection criteria mean that several hot white dwarfs and related objects have also been included. This paper reports the discovery and analysis of eight new very hot white dwarf and pre-white dwarf stars with effective temperatures exceeding 100,000 K. They include two PG1159 stars, one DO white dwarf, three O(He) and two O(H) stars. One of the O(H) stars is the central star of a newly-discovered planetary nebula, the other is the hottest `naked' O(H) star. Both of the PG1159 stars are GW Vir variables, one being the hottest GW Vir star measured and a crucial test for pulsation stability models. The DO white dwarf is also the hottest in its class.

Pouvoir judiciaire et lois de l’interprétation selon le Code de l’humanité
Creators: name: Delia, Luigi
Publisher: name: Journal of Interdisciplinary History of Ideas
Year: 2023

description: The Code of Humanity, a «universal dictionary of natural and civil justice», was created in Yverdon in 1778 by a society of jurists and moralists under the leadership of Fortuné-Barthélémy De Felice. The thirteen volumes of this specialised encyclopaedia reorganised legal knowledge on the moral principles established by the Protestant jusnaturalist Jean-Jacques Burlamaqui. «Natural jurisprudence», conceived as the art of knowing natural laws and applying them to the different levels of action, fulfils a strategic function in the Code of Humanity: it is the central question of the interpretation of laws. The articles INTERPRETATION, JUDGE, CONSCIENCE, EQUITY, and NATURAL LAW paint a picture of an enlightened Christian magistracy: less subordinated to the imperatives of political authority than to the injunctions of his conscience, the magistrate of the Protestant Enlightenment must anchor his judicial practice in the principles of right reason. In order to measure the repercussions that such an epistemological position has on political law, it is necessary to determine the singularity of the answers that the Code of Humanity brings to an old debate that modern philosophers (from Hobbes to Beccaria) have strongly revived: is it authority or is it truth that makes the law? What is the place of justice between law and conscience, between respect for the norm and the use of equity?

description: IoT has enabled the rapid growth of smart remote healthcare applications. These IoT-based remote healthcare applications deliver fast and preventive medical services to patients at risk or with chronic diseases. However, ensuring data security and patient privacy while exchanging sensitive medical data among medical IoT devices is still a significant concern in remote healthcare applications. Altered or corrupted medical data may cause wrong treatment and create grave health issues for patients. Moreover, current remote medical applications' efficiency and response time need to be addressed and improved. Considering the need for secure and efficient patient care, this paper proposes a lightweight Blockchain-based and Fog-enabled remote patient monitoring system that provides a high level of security and efficient response time. Simulation results and security analysis show that the proposed lightweight blockchain architecture fits the resource-constrained IoT devices well and is secure against attacks. Moreover, the augmentation of Fog computing improved the responsiveness of the remote patient monitoring system by 40%.

description: Facing pressures to contend with continual changes in physical availability, to balance water supply with environmental and social impacts, and to build resilience to environmental hazards such as droughts and climate change, water managers increasingly use management plans as a blueprint for managing water. We apply qualitative content analysis to evaluate water management plans from diverse water and land use organizations in California’s Central Valley. To understand whether plans are working toward holistic, multi-dimensional management, we assess plans’ coverage of water supply, environmental, and socioeconomic dimensions of water use, as well as the quality and implementability of the plans. The plans provide a strong assessment of water supplies and indicate progression toward integrated water resource management. However, we identify gaps in managing water for the environment, considering socioeconomic and distributional impacts, planning for future drought and climate change, and effective coordination with other water agencies and the public.

description: Creating measurable ecological accounting units has become a point of emphasis in valuing ecosystem services. Understanding which ecological endpoints, which emanate from biophysical production functions, are important to individuals could help to create measurable ecological accounting units. Using two semi-arid riparian ecosystems we create a suite of ecological endpoints and using benefits transfer techniques compare their ability to be transferred to similar riparian ecosystems. If clearly defined, ecological accounting units can be developed for ecosystem services. This could lead to ecosystem services being properly incorporated into benefit cost analyses that maximize economic product of both market and non-market goods and services.

description: Sponge biomass represents the largest heterotrophic component of benthic biota in the Florida Bay ecosystem. These organisms can significantly alter the water quality of their surrounding environment through biogeochemical transformations of nutrient elements resulting from their dynamic pumping, water filtration, and respiration processes. Ammonium (NH4 +) and nitrate plus nitrite (NO3 − + NO2 −; NOx −) fluxes were obtained for 11 ecologically important species at three sites within Florida Bay, Florida (U.S.A.) utilizing chamber incubations on undisturbed individual sponges. Significant dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) effluxes ranging between 9.0 ± 2.2 μmol N h−1 Lsponge −1 and 141 ± 26 μmol N h−1 Lsponge −1 were observed for eight of the 11 tested sponges; specifically, from six of eight tested high-microbial abundance (HMA) sponges, and from two of three tested low-microbial abundance (LMA) sponges. The abundant HMA species Chondrilla nucula showed the highest, volume-normalized rate of DIN release. These fluxes represent a continuation of the previously observed dichotomy in the chemical speciation of DIN in exhalent waters of LMA and HMA sponges, with NH4 + and NOx − dominating their respective exhalent jets. Surprisingly, we found that dissolved organic matter (DOM) appeared to make a negligible contribution to the total released N, but we hypothesize that the lack of DOM utilization or production was due to methodological limitations. Our flux data combined with sponge biomass estimates indicate that sponges, particularly HMA species, are a large, and potentially dominant, source of inorganic nitrogen to Florida Bay waters.

description: « La Bibliothèque de l’homme d’État et du citoyen », directed by Jean-Baptiste Robinet, fits into the context of the publication of encyclopedias in the last third of the 18th century. From this work in thirty volumes, the structure and the scope of the articles relating to the notions of Constitution and Fundamental Laws will be analyzed. They deserve to be highlighted: indeed, the idea of Constitution found a new meaning which would continue to develop until the Revolution of 1789, while that of Fundamental Laws was renewed thanks to the school of natural law. The study of these two articles, as well as that of the concepts directly associated with them, makes it possible to understand the method by which Robinet defends the foundations of traditional monarchy while encouraging the expression of more modern ideas.

The large black holes have positive specific heat and so they can be in equilibrium with a thermal bath of radiation at the Hawking temperature. The relevant thermodynamic quantities are computed by using the Hamiltonian formalism and counterterm method. We explicitly show that there are first order phase transitions similar to the Hawking-Page phase transition.

description: Less known than the other encyclopaedic dictionaries of the Age of Enlightenment, the Dictionnaire universel des sciences, morale économique politique et diplomatique by Jean-Baptiste Robinet (1732-1820) is a perfect illustration of the desire to bring together all the knowledge of the state at the end of the 18th century in a specialised dictionary. It consists of thirty volumes published between 1777 and 1783.The aim of this contribution is to examine the treatment of law and legislation in this dictionary, which is directly linked to philosophy and politics, by highlighting the compositional processes of the main articles devoted to them. After placing Robinet's enterprise in the philosophical heritage of the Encyclopédie, which it intends to improve but also to surpass in the legal domain, it studies the way in which law is conceived as a knowledge of the State through an exposition of the principles of the art of lawgiving which seems to show over and above the ideological eclecticism of the sources and materials used, a profound aspiration to a general overhaul and unification of legislation.

description: Sponges are conspicuous and abundant within the benthic fauna on Caribbean reefs. The ability of these organisms to efficiently capture carbon from particulate sources is well known and the importance of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) uptake has been recognized for several species. We surveyed DOC ingestion by seven sponge species common to Florida Keys reefs using nondisruptive sampling methods on undisturbed individuals. Three of the seven species exhibited significant DOC removal ranging from 13% to 24% of ambient concentrations. The tested species that removed DOC host large microbial consortia within their tissues, while the converse was observed for those that did not. This divergent behavior may suggest an important role for sponge associated microbes in the utilization of DOC by these species. The feeding behaviors of individuals of Xestospongia muta were then monitored over time to investigate its respiratory consumption of particulate and DOC. The uptake rates of dissolved oxygen (DO) and organic carbon by two undisturbed individuals revealed that DOC represented 96% of removed C, and that the tested individuals removed approximately equal quantities of C and DO. This demonstrates that X. muta largely satisfies its respiration demands through DOC consumption, and that DOC likely represents the dominant C source for biomass production and cell overturn in this species. These results further illustrate the metabolic importance of DOC to sponges, and suggest that these organisms are an important pathway for remineralizing organic matter on Caribbean reefs.

In a resolutely interdisciplinary spirit, this event brought together researchers from different backgrounds: historians, legal historians, philosophers and political scientists. The studies gathered in this dossier have the merit, each in their own field, of shedding fruitful light on the importance of the circulation of works and materials from one Encyclopaedia to another. They suggest that, beyond the inevitable compilation of this type of source, the editors of these dictionaries, through the choices they made, demonstrated a desire to contribute to the promotion of a new way of understanding state knowledge and the sciences of government in the Enlightenment.

Positive metallicity correlation for coreless giant planets

Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)

description: Frequency of detected giant planets is observed to increase rapidly with metallicity of the host star. This is usually interpreted as evidence in support of the Core Accretion (CA) theory, which assembles giant planets as a result of formation of a massive solid core. A strong positive planet-metallicity correlation for giant planets formed in the framework of Gravitational disc Instability (GI) model is found here. The key novelty of this work is "pebble accretion" onto GI fragments which has been recently demonstrated to accelerate contraction of GI fragments. Driven closer to the star by the inward migration, only the fragments that accrete metals rapidly enough collapse and survive the otherwise imminent tidal disruption. The survival fraction of simulated planets correlates strongly with the metallicity of the host star, as observed.

Timing of larval release by two Caribbean demosponges

Publisher: name: Inter-Research
Year: 1997

description: The timing of larval release has important implications for a larva's potential vulnerability to predators and environmental stresses. For larvae with planktonic periods of only minutes to hours, timing of larval release also determines the light levels that larvae experience, which can strongly influence their settlement behavior. We placed larval traps over colonies of 2 common Caribbean sponges and found that both species released larvae during daylight hours. Niphates digitalis generally releases its larvae between 07:00 and 11:00 h, while Callyspongia vaginalis releases its larvae later in the day. Of 17 captured N. digitalis larvae released 0.5 to i m above the substrate, 13 remained near the bottom, and 8 of these 13 contacted the substrate within 10 min. For shortlived larvae, daytime release and their photonegative behavior at settlement should drive them to settle in shaded microhabitats that protect juveniles from predators and Solar UV radiation. Larvae of N. digitalis and C. vaginalis are distasteful to potential predators; thus they can remain near the bottom with fishes and yet not be consumed. These data support a general co-occurrence of daytime spawning of conspicuous, short-lived larvae and larval distastefulness that previously had been noted only for tropical ascidians.

description: In economical societies of today, using cash is an inseparable aspect of human life. People use cashes for marketing, services, entertainments, bank operations and so on. This huge amount of contact with cash and the necessity of knowing the monetary value of it caused one of the most challenging problems for visually impaired people. In this paper we propose a mobile phone based approach to identify monetary value of a picture taken from cashes using some image processing and machine vision techniques. While the developed approach is very fast, it can recognize the value of cash by average accuracy of about 95% and can overcome different challenges like rotation, scaling, collision, illumination changes, perspective, and some others.

description: A relevant problem in dynamics is to characterize how deterministic systems may exhibit features typically associated to stochastic processes. A widely studied example is the study of (normal or anomalous) transport properties for deterministic systems on a non-compact phase space. We consider here two examples of area-preserving maps: the Chirikov-Taylor standard map and the Casati-Prosen triangle map, and we investigate transport properties, records' statistics and occupation time statistics. While the standard map, when a chaotic sea is present, always reproduces results expected for simple random walks, the triangle map -- whose analysis still displays many elusive points -- behaves in a wildly different way, some of the features being compatible with a transient (non conservative) nature of the dynamics.

description: Introduction: Bacterial and fungal infections, such as skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) and infective endocarditis (IE), are increasing among people who use drugs in the United States. Traditional healthcare settings can be inaccessible and unwelcoming to people who use drugs, leading to delays in getting necessary care. The objective of this study was to examine SSTI treatment experiences among people utilizing services from syringe services programs. This study was initiated by people with lived experience of drug use to improve quality of care.

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional survey among participants of five syringe services programs in North Carolina from July through September 2020. Surveys collected information on each participant’s history of SSTIs and IE, drug use and healthcare access characteristics, and SSTI treatment experiences. We examined participant characteristics using counts and percentages. We also examined associations between participant characteristics and SSTI history using binomial linear regression models.

Results: Overall, 46% of participants reported an SSTI in the previous 12 months and 10% reported having IE in the previous 12 months. Those with a doctor they trusted with drug use-related concerns had 27 fewer (95% confidence interval = − 51.8, − 2.1) SSTIs per every 100 participants compared to those without a trusted doctor. Most participants with a SSTI history reported delaying (98%) or not seeking treatment (72%) for their infections. Concerns surrounding judgment or mistreatment by medical staff and self-treating the infection were common reasons for delaying or not seeking care. 13% of participants used antibiotics obtained from sources other than a medical provider to treat their most recent SSTI. Many participants suggested increased access to free antibiotics and on-site clinical care based at syringe service programs to improve treatment for SSTIs.

Conclusions: Many participants had delayed or not received care for SSTIs due to poor healthcare experiences. However, having a trusted doctor was associated with fewer people with SSTIs. Improved access to non-judgmental healthcare for people who use drugs with SSTIs is needed. Expansion of syringe services program-based SSTI prevention and treatment programs is likely a necessary approach to improve outcomes among those with SSTI and IE.

description: New data from the Herschel Space Observatory are broadening our understanding of the physics and evolution of the outer regions of protoplanetary disks in star forming regions. In particular they prove to be useful to identify transitional disk candidates. The goals of this work are to complement the detections of disks and the identification of transitional disk candidates in the Lupus clouds with data from the Herschel Gould Belt Survey. We extracted photometry at 70, 100, 160, 250, 350 and 500 $μ$m of all spectroscopically confirmed Class II members previously identified in the Lupus regions and analyzed their updated spectral energy distributions. We have detected 34 young disks in Lupus in at least one Herschel band, from an initial sample of 123 known members in the observed fields. Using the criteria defined in Ribas et al. (2013) we have identified five transitional disk candidates in the region. Three of them are new to the literature. Their PACS-70 $μ$m fluxes are systematically higher than those of normal T Tauri stars in the same associations, as already found in T Cha and in the transitional disks in the Chamaeleon molecular cloud. Herschel efficiently complements mid-infrared surveys for identifying transitional disk candidates and confirms that these objects seem to have substantially different outer disks than the T Tauri stars in the same molecular clouds.

Le gouvernement des pauvres et l’encyclopédisme au XVIIIᵉ siècle
Creators: name: Skornicki, Arnault
Publisher: name: Journal of Interdisciplinary History of Ideas
Year: 2023

description: This article systematically examines a set of articles on poverty and assistance issues in a sequence that covers seven encyclopedias, from the Parisian Encyclopédie to the Encyclopédie méthodique. The criticism of traditional charity and hospitals is enriched, starting with the Dictionnaire universel of Yverdon, by the theory and social program of the Physiocratic school, particularly developed in the Éphémérides du Citoyen. Through practices of plagiarism and compilation, Francophone encyclopedism proves to be a good observatory of the evolution of the common sense of the ‘enlightened’ elites in the 18th century on the government of the poor, which becomes more expert and specialized without being uniform. English title: Government of the Poor and Encyclopedism in the 18th century Keywords: History of Economic Thought, Poverty, Public Assistance, Philanthropy, Francophone Encyclopedism, Physiocracy

Network Message Field Type Classification and Recognition for Unknown Binary Protocols

description: Reverse engineering of unknown network protocols based on recorded traffic traces enables security analyses and debugging of undocumented network services. In particular for binary protocols, existing approaches (1) lack comprehensive methods to classify or determine the data type of a discovered segment in a message, e.,g., a number, timestamp, or network address, that would allow for a semantic interpretation and (2) have strong assumptions that prevent analysis of lower-layer protocols often found in IoT or mobile systems. In this paper, we propose the first generic method for analyzing unknown messages from binary protocols to reveal the data types in message fields. To this end, we split messages into segments of bytes and use their vector interpretation to calculate similarities. These can be used to create clusters of segments with the same type and, moreover, to recognize specific data types based on the clusters' characteristics. Our extensive evaluation shows that our method provides precise classification in most cases and a data-type-recognition precision of up to 100% at reasonable recall, improving the state-of-the-art by a factor between 1.3 and 3.7 in realistic scenarios. We open-source our implementation to facilitate follow-up works.

description: Due to changes in global trends, men’s grooming behavior in relation to their appearance is deemed one of the drivers in the rising popularity of men’s cosmetic products. Unlike previous studies, this study focused on men and aimed to examine the determinants of consumers’ intentions toward buying green cosmetic products by using the belief decomposition approach (BDA) of the theory of planned behavior (TPB). Purposive sampling was employed and 322 valid responses were collected. A PLS-SEM was employed to test the hypotheses. The results demonstrate that attitude (ATT), subjective norm (SN), and perceived behavior control (PBC) positively influence consumers’ intentions. Similarly, nutritional content, health consciousness, and environmental consciousness are positively associated with ATT, but animal welfare has an insignificant association with ATT. In addition, mass media and family influence are positively associated with SN. Moreover, self-efficacy positively influences PBC, but facilitating conditions have an insignificant association with PBC.

Where Is Institutional History Heading? A Survey of Recent Literature (2018-2023)
Creators: name: Coccoli, Lorenzo
Publisher: name: Journal of Interdisciplinary History of Ideas
Year: 2023

description: Drafting a comprehensive survey of recent literature in any given disciplinary field is always a daunting task, especially since academic globalisation, the prevalence of English as the lingua franca in scientific-academic contexts, and the increasing digitization of scholarly content have provided access to an almost unlimited number of works published in all four corners of the world. To these general difficulties, the specific case of institutional history adds its own set of problems. They all essentially revolve around one question: what exactly is institutional history? Which, of course, boils down to finding a satisfactory definition of its particular object, i.e., institutions. For this survey, I have chosen to concentrate on new books, published in the last five years, and to confine myself to Western—and specifically English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish—scholarship. Keywords: History of Institutions, Institutional History, Institution (Definition of), Methods of Historiography, Literature Survey

Tidal Downsizing model. I. Numerical methods: saving giant planets from tidal disruptions
Creators: name: Nayakshin, Sergei
Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)

description: Tidal Downsizing (TD) is a recently developed planet formation theory that supplements the classical Gravitational disc Instability (GI) model with planet migration inward and tidal disruptions of GI fragments in the inner regions of the disc. Numerical methods for a detailed population synthesis of TD planets are presented here. As an example application, the conditions under which GI fragments collapse faster than they migrate into the inner $a\sim$ few AU disc are considered. It is found that most gas fragments are tidally or thermally disrupted unless (a) their opacity is $\sim 3$ orders of magnitude less than the interstellar dust opacity at metallicities typical of the observed giant planets, or (b) the opacity is high but the fragments accrete large dust grains (pebbles) from the disc. Case (a) models produce very low mass solid cores ($M_{\rm core} < 0.1$ Earth masses) and follow a negative correlation of giant planet frequency with host star metallicity. In contrast, case (b) models produce massive solid cores, correlate positively with host metallicity and explain naturally while giant gas planets are over-abundant in metals.
