We make the case that this result should be better known, and deserves a place in any introductory course on measure and integration.

description: We investigate the cosmological properties of Galileon models with positive kinetic terms. We include both conformal and disformal couplings to matter and focus on constraints on the theory that arise because of these couplings. The disformal coupling to baryonic matter is extremely constrained by astrophysical and particle physics effects. The disformal coupling to photons induces a cosmological variation of the speed of light and therefore distortions of the Cosmic Microwave Background spectrum which are known to be very small. The conformal coupling to baryons leads to a variation of particle masses since Big Bang Nucleosynthesis which is also tightly constrained. We consider the background cosmology of Galileon models coupled to Cold Dark Matter (CDM), photons and baryons and impose that the speed of light and particle masses respect the observational bounds on cosmological time scales. We find that requiring that the equation of state for the Galileon models must be close to -1 now restricts severely their parameter space and can only be achieved with a combination of the conformal and disformal couplings. This leads to large variations of particle masses and the speed of light which are not compatible with observations. As a result, we find that cosmological Galileon models are viable dark energy theories coupled to dark matter but their couplings, both disformal and conformal, to baryons and photons must be heavily suppressed making them only sensitive to CDM.

description: Reaction products arising from the interaction of 11B+ 12C and 10B+ 13C have been studied in the energy range 4<Elab(B)<9 MeV/nucleon. From the total fusion cross sections for the two entrance channels, the critical angular momenta have been extracted and then compared as a function of compound nucleus excitation energy. Even though a limitation in the fusion cross section was observed, no common limitation was found in the critical angular momenta for these two systems up to at least a Na23 excitation energy of 60 MeV. Above this excitation energy, the experimental uncertainties make this point less clear. Up to an excitation energy of 60 MeV in Na23, a fusion limitation based on reaching a critical density of compound nucleus states like the yrast or ''statistical'' yrast line cannot be responsible for the fusion cross section limitations observed for these entrance channels. The present data suggest that competing entrance channel processes are responsible for the observed fusion cross section limitations.

description: BackgroundThrombocytopenia is a common condition in hospitalised critically ill children and most platelet transfusions are given as prophylaxis to non-bleeding children prior to invasive procedures such as central venous catheterisation and lumbar puncture. Platelet transfusion may reduce bleeding complications but have also been associated with potential adverse effects and variation in clinical practice exist. To direct future research, we aim to assess the current evidence regarding prophylactic platelet transfusion prior to procedures in hospitalised thrombocytopenic children. MethodsWe will conduct a scoping review of all study designs in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic and Meta‐Analyses (PRISMA) statement. We will include studies on hospitalised children undergoing invasive procedures where the prevalence of thrombocytopenia and the predefined outcome measures, including bleeding, transfusion related adverse events and use of blood products and life support are reported. We will provide descriptive analyses of the included studies/trials and the quality of evidence will be assessed according to the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach. ConclusionThe outlined scoping review will provide an overview on the benefits and harms of prophylactic platelet transfusion prior to invasive procedures in thrombocytopenic hospitalised children.

description: We seek to improve the accuracy of joint galaxy photometric redshift estimation and spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting. By simulating different sources of uncorrected systematic errors, we demonstrate that if the uncertainties on the photometric redshifts are estimated correctly, so are those on the other SED fitting parameters, such as stellar mass, stellar age, and dust reddening. Furthermore, we find that if the redshift uncertainties are over(under)-estimated, the uncertainties in SED parameters tend to be over(under)-estimated by similar amounts. These results hold even in the presence of severe systematics and provide, for the first time, a mechanism to validate the uncertainties on these parameters via comparison with spectroscopic redshifts. We propose a new technique (annealing) to re-calibrate the joint uncertainties in the photo-z and SED fitting parameters without compromising the performance of the SED fitting + photo-z estimation. This procedure provides a consistent estimation of the multidimensional probability distribution function in SED fitting + z parameter space, including all correlations. While the performance of joint SED fitting and photo-z estimation might be hindered by template incompleteness, we demonstrate that the latter is "flagged" by a large fraction of outliers in redshift, and that significant improvements can be achieved by using flexible stellar populations synthesis models and more realistic star formation histories. In all cases, we find that the median stellar age is better recovered than the time elapsed from the onset of star formation [abridged].

description: We introduce a lattice model of interacting spins and bosons that leads to Luttinger-liquid physics, and allows for quantitative tests of the theory of bosonization by means of trapped-ion or superconducting-circuit experiments. By using a variational bosonization ansatz, we calculate the power-law decay of spin and boson correlation functions, and study their dependence on a single tunable parameter, namely a bosonic driving. For small drivings, Matrix-Product-States (MPS) numerical methods are shown to be efficient and validate our ansatz. Conversely, even static MPS become inefficient for large-driving regimes, such that the experiment can potentially outperform classical numerics, achieving one of the goals of quantum simulations.

description: Handwritten circuit diagrams from educational scenarios or historic sources usually exist on analogue media. For deriving their functional principles or flaws automatically, they need to be digitized, extracting their electrical graph. Recently, the base technologies for automated pipelines facilitating this process shifted from computer vision to machine learning. This paper describes an approach for extracting both the electrical components (including their terminals and describing texts) as well their interconnections (including junctions and wire hops) by the means of instance segmentation and keypoint extraction. Consequently, the resulting graph extraction process consists of a simple two-step process of model inference and trivial geometric keypoint matching. The dataset itself, its preparation, model training and post-processing are described and publicly available.

description: Velocity spectra were measured for evaporation residues produced in fusion reactions induced by 5-35 MeV/A14N. The results, together with published data for 16O and 20Ne induced fusion, are shown to reveal a projectile dependence of incomplete fusion processes. The data can be qualitatively described in terms of a picture which takes into account the vector addition of the center-of-mass velocities of the interacting nuclei with the intrinsic Fermi velocities of the nucleons.

description: AGB stars are responsible for producing a variety of elements, including carbon, nitrogen, and the heavy elements produced in the slow neutron-capture process ($s$-elements). There are many uncertainties involved in modelling the evolution and nucleosynthesis of AGB stars, and this is especially the case at low metallicity, where most of the stars with high enough masses to enter the AGB have evolved to become white dwarfs and can no longer be observed. The stellar population in the Galactic halo is of low mass ($\lesssim 0.85M_{\odot}$) and only a few observed stars have evolved beyond the first giant branch. However, we have evidence that low-metallicity AGB stars in binary systems have interacted with their low-mass secondary companions in the past. The aim of this work is to investigate AGB nucleosynthesis at low metallicity by studying the surface abundances of chemically peculiar very metal-poor stars of the halo observed in binary systems. To this end we select a sample of 15 carbon- and $s$-element-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP-$s$) halo stars that are found in binary systems with measured orbital periods. With our model of binary evolution and AGB nucleosynthesis, we determine the binary configuration that best reproduces, at the same time, the observed orbital period and surface abundances of each star of the sample. The observed periods provide tight constraints on our model of wind mass transfer in binary stars, while the comparison with the observed abundances tests our model of AGB nucleosynthesis.

description: Spectroscopic redshift extraction is an expensive process. In this work, we have tried to extract redshift information solely from the X-ray AGN spectra by employing an automated method. For this purpose, we have used highly quality NuSTAR hard X-ray spectra to obtain a set of models that best represent the X-ray spectral shape of AGN. We have used UXCLUMPY, a relatively new clumpy torus model that allows for self-consistent multi-wavelength analyses. The models were then used to simulate spectra with Athena WFI response matrices in the redshift range of 1 - 4, 10^44-45 erg/s Luminosity LX (2−10keV) range, and exposure time of 1 Ms. These simulated spectra were then passed on to a classical automated redshift estimating algorithm to recover the redshifts. Our preliminary results show that redshifts can be recovered within 5% for upto 50% of the sample simulations.
Arch-based configurations in the volume ensemble of static granular systems

description: We propose an alternative approach to count the microscopic static configurations of granular packs under gravity by considering arches. This strategy simplifies the problem of filtering out configurations that are not mechanically stable, opening the way for a range of granular models to be studied via ensemble theory. Following this arch-based approach, we have obtained the exact density of states for a two-dimensional non-interacting rigid arch model of granular assemblies. The calculated arch size distribution and volume fluctuations show qualitative agreement with realistic simulations of tapped granular beds. We have also validated our calculations by comparing with the analytic solution for the limiting case of a quasi-one-dimensional column of frictionless disks.
K X-ray yields, M1 strength and the γ-ray quasicontinuum in 153Ho

description: The presence of highly converted transitions at high spin in the quasicontinuum spectrum of 153Ho was established from the measurement of K-shell ionization yields. The occurrence of these transitions and the onset of collectivity appear to be correlated. The quasicontinuum γ-ray spectrum was also measured. The X-ray yields cannot be explained solely by internal conversion of transitions with Eγ {slanted equal to or greater-than} 350 keV. Other sources are considered.

description: We give a survey of the known connections between regularity conditions and amenability conditions in the setting of uniform algebras. For a uniform algebra $A$ we consider the set, $A_{lc}$, of functions in $A$ which are locally constant on a (varying) dense open subset of the character space of $A$. We show that, for a separable uniform algebra $A$, if $A$ has bounded relative units at every point of a dense subset of the character space of $A$, then $A_{lc}$ is dense in $A$. We construct a separable, essential, regular uniform algebra $A$ on its character space $X$ such that every point of $X$ is a peak point for $A$, $A$ has bounded relative units at every point of a dense open subset of $X$ and yet $A$ is not weakly amenable. In particular, this shows that a continuous derivation from a separable, essential uniform algebra $A$ to its dual need not annihilate $A_{lc}$.

description: The radiation from Ho153 has been measured with Compton-suppressed Ge detectors. At least four components can be identified; the energy and spin removed by each of these have been measured, and their Doppler shifts analyzed. New fine structure is observed in the pre-yrast spectrum which arises from single-particle transitions forming the link between the yrast and continuum cascades. Near the yrast line the single-particle character of the states is preserved, but at higher energies collective modes begin to dominate.

description: The level structure of the four-valence-proton N=82 nucleus Er150 has been studied by -ray spectroscopy following reactions of 225-255 MeV Ni58,60 beams on Mo92,94,95 and Nb93 targets. Yrast levels in Er150 are established up to 9.5 MeV excitation energy; they include isomeric levels at 2797, 7372, and 9509 keV. The observed levels up to 5222 keV are interpreted in terms of shell model configurations involving the four valence protons outside the Gd146 core. They include states with dominant seniority two and four configurations h1124, h1123s12, and h1123d32, and octupole excitations. The levels above 5222 keV must involve excitation of the Gd146 core, and they are not interpreted in detail. The energies of the h1124 levels are found to agree reasonably with predictions based on empirical two-body interactions taken from the h1122 spectrum of Dy148. Even better agreement is obtained by taking account also of the known h1123 energies in Ho149. The dependence of E2 transition probabilities in N=82 nuclei on the h112 subshell occupation number is discussed.

description: Dynamical decoupling operations have been shown to reduce errors in quantum information processing. Leakage from an encoded subspace to the rest of the system space is a particularly serious problem for which leakage elimination operators (LEO) were introduced. These are a particular type of decoupling which are designed to eliminate such leakage errors. Here, we provide an analysis of non-ideal pulses, rather than the well-understood ideal pulses or bang-bang controls. We show that under realistic conditions for experiments these controls will provide protection from errors. Furthermore, we find that the effect of LEOs depends exclusively on the integral of the pulse sequence in the time domain with proper ratio of pulse duration time and its period. When these two key parameters are chosen within certain bounds, leakage errors of the open system (exemplified by a three-level system for the nitrogen-vacancy centers under external magnetic field) would be dramatically decreased. The results are illustrated by the fidelity dynamics of LEO sequences, ranging from regular rectangular pulses, random pulses and even disordered (noisy) pulses.

description: The National Egyptian Agenda 2030 recently adopted the concepts of sustainable cities, mitigating and adapting to climate change. This study responded to these concepts by treating sewage to reuse it in softscaping and recycling sludge to reduce energy consumption and support heating systems by producing biogas. Of the limitations of this study, it focuses on a compound to propose a model to increase the sustainability of Egyptian cities. This study used many technologies, such as biological treatment processes, activated sludge, trickling filters, and fixed bioreactors. However, Membrane bioreactors (MBRs) have seemed to be the most suitable technology because of their low cost and footprint. Additionally, a pilot laboratory was established to simulate the sewage treatment plant. It consisted of a primary sedimentation tank followed by an MBR tank and a chlorine disinfection tank, where the sludge was fed into a cylindrical anaerobic digester. The amount of sludge collected generated 41.5 mL/day of biogas. The application of this large-scale batch reactor will produce around 38 m3/day of biogas. Applying the findings of this study to the treatment and reuse of domestic sewage and sludge can provide up to 50% of the water needed for the green area of the compound.

Comparison with deformed shell-model calculations makes it possible to suggest configuration assignments to many of the levels.

description: Alloying of In/Zn oxides with various X atoms stabilizes the IXZO structures but generates electron traps in the compounds, degrading the electron mobility. To assess whether the latter is linked to the oxygen affinity or the ionic radius, of the X element, several IXZO samples are synthesized by the sol-gel process, with a large number (14) of X elements. The IXZOs are characterized by XPS, SIMS, DRX, and UV-spectroscopy and used for fabricating thin film transistors. Channel mobility and the interface defect density NST, extracted from the TFT electrical characteristics and low frequency noise, followed an increasing trend and the values of mobility and NST are linked by an exponential relation. The highest mobility (8.5 cm2/Vs) is obtained in In-Ga-Zn-O, and slightly lower value for Sb and Sn-doped IXZOs, with NST is about 2E12 cm2/eV, close to that of the In-Zn-O reference TFT. This is explained by a higher electronegativity of Ga, Sb, and Sn than Zn and In, their ionic radius values being close to that of In and Zn. Consequently, Ga, Sb, and Sn induce weaker perturbations of In-O and Zn-O sequences in the sol-gel process, than the X elements having lower electronegativity and different ionic radius. The TFTs with X = Ca, Al, Ni and Cu exhibited the lowest mobility and NST > 1E13 cm2/eV, most likely because of metallic or oxide clusters formation.

description: The structure of 186Hg has been studied through the 156Gd(34S, 4n) reaction. Three bands with even spin and parity are observed; two of them are established up to high spin and are found to cross with little interaction at I= 16+. Cranked shell model calculations suggest that these two bands can be associated with a decoupled νi13 2 pair based on a prolate and on an oblate or triaxial shape, respectively.

description: The 153Dy level structure has been studied through the 124Sn(34S, 5n) reaction. The low-spin collective character of 153Dy gives way to single particle yrast configurations at I > 41 2; an I= 47 2 isomer at 5591 ke V shows the single particle character (and overall oblate shape) to be well established at that spin. Nuclear shape charges in Dy nuclei are discussed.

description: Existing numerical models of the swash zone are relatively inflexible in dealing with sediment transport due to a high dependence of the deployed numerical schemes on empirical sediment transport relations. Moreover, these models are usually not well-balanced, meaning they are unable to correctly simulate quiescent flow. Here a well-balanced and flexible morphological model for the swash zone is presented. The nonlinear shallow water equations and the Exner equation are discretized by the shock-capturing finite volume method, in which the numerical flux and the bed slope source term are estimated by a well-balanced version of the SLIC (Slope LImited Centered) scheme that does not depend on empirical sediment transport relations. The satisfaction of the well-balanced property is demonstrated through simulating quiescent coastal flow. The quantitative accuracy of the model in reproducing key parameters (i.e., the notional shoreline position, the swash depth, the flow velocity, the overtopping flow volume, the beach change depth and the sediment transport rate) is shown to be satisfactory through comparisons against analytical solutions, experimental data as well as previous numerical solutions. This work facilitates an improved modeling framework for the swash hydrodynamics and sediment transport.

description: We present broadband (3 -- 78 keV) NuSTAR X-ray imaging and spectroscopy of the Crab nebula and pulsar. We show that while the phase-averaged and spatially integrated nebula + pulsar spectrum is a power-law in this energy band, spatially resolved spectroscopy of the nebula finds a break at $\sim$9 keV in the spectral photon index of the torus structure with a steepening characterized by $ΔΓ\sim0.25$. We also confirm a previously reported steepening in the pulsed spectrum, and quantify it with a broken power-law with break energy at $\sim$12 keV and $ΔΓ\sim0.27$. We present spectral maps of the inner 100\as\ of the remnant and measure the size of the nebula as a function of energy in seven bands. These results find that the rate of shrinkage with energy of the torus size can be fitted by a power-law with an index of $γ= 0.094\pm 0.018$, consistent with the predictions of Kennel and Coroniti (1984). The change in size is more rapid in the NW direction, coinciding with the counter-jet where we find the index to be a factor of two larger. NuSTAR observed the Crab during the latter part of a $γ$-ray flare, but found no increase in flux in the 3 - 78 keV energy band.

description: Aminoglycosides and Loop diuretics are the ototoxic drugs commonly recommended for neonates during NICU stay in case of critical conditions like neonatal sepsis and respiratory distress syndrome. While screening the NICU infants, many times ototoxic drug exposure/ administration duration are not documented as a risk factor and are thereby missed to be monitored. Many times, information on the drugs, dosage levels, duration of exposure, dosage interval, and peak and trough concentration levels in neonates becomes a challenge to extract from the medical records and are underreported as a risk factor by audiologists and screening professionals. Also, there is a lack of clarity and inconsistencies on the guidelines or protocol reported on this risk factor. Hence, there is a need for the scoping review to map the relationship between the drug dosage, interval, dosing, serum concentration, and, the occurrence of hearing loss to determine the safe administration level of ototoxic drugs.

description: Neutron spectra as a function of spin and the neutron multiplicity distribution have been measured for the reaction 233-MeV Ni64 + Zr92. The emission of two neutrons constitutes the strongest decay channel, in contrast to statistical-model calculations which predict the emission of three neutrons to be the strongest by more than one order of magnitude. This is possibly due to trapping in a superdeformed potential well, similar to that giving rise to fission isomers, as the compound nucleus relaxes from the highly distorted initial shape.

Native Bees and Pollen Collection: How Flexible Are They?
Creators: name: Burke, Helen
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2020

description: Aim: Globally, populations of the honey bee (Apis mellifera) are declining, threatening pollination services and thus the reproduction of crops and wild plants. Native bees may be a free source of pollination services and act as ‘insurance’ against potential honey bee losses in Australia. This study aims is to determine whether native bees collect pollen mainly from native plants, with which they have a shared evolutionary history, or whether they have diversified and also collect pollen from introduced plant species. To this end, we investigated whether native bees collected more or less pollen from native plants or introduced species, and whether there are differences in the patterns of pollen collection between the different bee genera studied. Methods: This study collected different species of native bees off flowering plants from agricultural and remnant forest sites in the Yarra Valley, Victoria. Pollen was transferred from the bees and taken through acetolysis before being mounted on microscope slides. With the assistance of the Specicount tool, pollen on these slides was identified and counted using a microscope to determine what pollen the bees carried. Pollen loads and pollen load composition were calculated based on this analysis. Results: Rather than all bees collected carrying pollen, for the most part only those with visible pollen on the bee at the time of collection or processing ended up with enough pollen on the microscope slide to analyse. The different taxa of native bees had statistically different pollen load compositions in both the agricultural and forest sites. There was also a correlation between bee body size and the overall amount of pollen carried. All the bees studied carried pollen from both native and non-native plant sources to some extent, ranging from 27% non-native pollen in Exonuera to 78% in Homalictus. When the data set was divided into agricultural sites, different trends emerged, with bees more likely to collect pollen from crops and weeds in agricultural sites. Site type was found as the primary driver of inter-species pollen load composition variation. Main Conclusions: The finding that mostly only bees with visible pollen at the time of collection resulted in visible pollen on the slide will inform the processing of the remaining bee samples in subsequent studies. The pollen load composition of the native bees in this study is not limited to native plants. Location, rather than plant origin, determined the makeup of the pollen load carried by the bees. The native bees in the study have potential as crop pollinators as given the opportunity they will collect pollen from introduced species including crops.

description: We have investigated the influence of the interface quality on the spin Seebeck effect (SSE) of the bilayer system yttrium iron garnet (YIG) - platinum (Pt). The magnitude and shape of the SSE is strongly influenced by mechanical treatment of the YIG single crystal surface. We observe that the saturation magnetic field H_{sat} for the SSE signal increases from 55.3 mT to 72.8 mT with mechanical treatment. The change in the magnitude of H_{sat} can be attributed to the presence of a perpendicular magnetic anisotropy due to the treatment induced surface strain or shape anisotropy in the Pt/YIG system. Our results show that the SSE is a powerful tool to investigate magnetic anisotropy at the interface.

description: This handbook was created to provide information and tools to different stakeholders within the field of migration, based on empirical research conducted as part of the PERCEPTIONS research project. PERCEPTIONS is a project funded by the European Commission under the Horizon 2020 Programme that conducts multidisciplinary research and innovative actions addressing questions related to migration. The project brings together 26 partners from different institutions (universities, research organisations, non-governmental and intergovernmental organisations and border authorities) and from 15 different European and Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) countries. The PERCEPTIONS project investigates the various links between perceptions, information channels, challenges and policies related to migration. It explores how narratives, discourses and perceptions of Europe and of individual European countries1 influence decisions to migrate as well as experiences of migration, how these perceptions circulate and what challenges may arise throughout the migration process. Finally, the project identifies practices that can contribute to mitigating some of these challenges. Such interventions can involve migrants, front-line practitioners and local communities, or address the issue at the level of policy and legislation. The handbook is designed as an easy-to-use resource that aims to provide: Key insights and responses to common questions about the role of perceptions and narratives in decisions to migrate to Europe and subsequent experiences of migration, based on insights from the PERCEPTIONS project. Creative tools and good practices that tackle some of the challenges related to migration by engaging with communities at the local level. A review of immigration policies and recommendations for improvements as provided by the stakeholders we interviewed, followed by policy briefs compiled by the PERCEPTIONS research team.
