description: In this paper we present a new method for obtaining the optical wavelength-dependent reddening function of planetary nebulae, using the nebular and stellar continuum. The data used was a spectrum of NGC 6302 obtained with a mean signal to noise of >10^2 A^-1 in the nebular continuum. With such a high S/N the continuum can be accurately compared with a theoretical model nebular plus stellar continuum. The nebular electron temperature and density used in the model are determined using ratios of prominent emission lines. The reddening function can then be obtained from the ratio of the theoretical and the observed continuum. We find that for NGC 6302, the visible to IR extinction law is indistinguishable from `standard' interstellar reddening, but that the UV extinction curve is much steeper than normal, suggesting that more small dust grains had been ejected into the nebula by the PN central star. Finally, using the extinction law that we have determined, we present a complete de--reddened line list of nearly 600 emission lines, and report on the detection of the He(2-10) and He(2-8) Raman Features at 4331 A and 4852 A, and the detection of Raman-Scattered OVI features at 6830 and 7087 AA.

description: We present a survey of recent results, scattered in a series of papers that appeared during past five years, whose common denominator is the use of cubic relations in various algebraic structures. Cubic (or ternary) relations can represent different symmetries with respect to the permutation group S_3, or its cyclic subgroup Z_3. Also ordinary or ternary algebras can be divided in different classes with respect to their symmetry properties. We pay special attention to the non-associative ternary algebra of 3-forms (or ``cubic matrices''), and Z_3-graded matrix algebras. We also discuss the Z_3-graded generalization of Grassmann algebras and their realization in generalized exterior differential forms. A new type of gauge theory based on this differential calculus is presented. Finally, a ternary generalization of Clifford algebras is introduced, and an analog of Dirac's equation is discussed, which can be diagonalized only after taking the cube of the Z_3-graded generalization of Dirac's operator. A possibility of using these ideas for the description of quark fields is suggested and discussed in the last Section.

description: Learning to represent videos is a very challenging task both algorithmically and computationally. Standard video CNN architectures have been designed by directly extending architectures devised for image understanding to include the time dimension, using modules such as 3D convolutions, or by using two-stream design to capture both appearance and motion in videos. We interpret a video CNN as a collection of multi-stream convolutional blocks connected to each other, and propose the approach of automatically finding neural architectures with better connectivity and spatio-temporal interactions for video understanding. This is done by evolving a population of overly-connected architectures guided by connection weight learning. Architectures combining representations that abstract different input types (i.e., RGB and optical flow) at multiple temporal resolutions are searched for, allowing different types or sources of information to interact with each other. Our method, referred to as AssembleNet, outperforms prior approaches on public video datasets, in some cases by a great margin. We obtain 58.6% mAP on Charades and 34.27% accuracy on Moments-in-Time.

description: A purely algebraic construction of super-energy tensors for arbitrary fields is presented in any dimensions. These tensors have good mathematical and physical properties, and they can be used in any theory having as basic arena an n-dimensional manifold with a metric of Lorentzian signature. In general, the completely timelike component of these s-e tensors has the mathematical features of an energy density: they are positive definite and satisfy the dominant property. Similarly, the super-momentum vectors have mathematical properties of s-e flux vectors. The classical Bel-Robinson tensor is included in our general definition. The energy-momentum and super-energy tensors of physical fields are also obtained, and the procedure is illustrated by writing down these tensors explicitly for the cases of scalar, electromagnetic, and Proca fields. Moreover, `(super)$^k$-energy' tensors are defined and shown to be meaningful and in agreement for the different physical fields. In flat spacetimes, they provide infinitely many conserved quantities. In non-flat spacetimes conserved s-e currents are found for any minimally coupled scalar field whenever there is a Killing vector. Furthermore, the exchange of gravitational and electromagnetic super-energy is also shown by studying the propagation of discontinuities.

description: Skeletal muscle is one of the main components of lean soft tissue mass (LSTM). Low levels in children affect locomotion, posture, and increase the risk of metabolic syndrome. (1) To evaluate the association between muscle cross-sectional area (MCSA) of the lower left leg measured by peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) and total LSTM; namely, total left leg and left lower leg LSTM assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in a group of children, (2) to examine if MCSA is a predictor of LSTM, (3) to determine the ability of pQCT to identify children with low LSTM. Lower left leg MCSA and LSTM were measured using pQCT and DXA, respectively, in 396 children. Statistically significant positive correlations were found between the lower leg MCSA – total LSTM (r² = 0.789), total leg LSTM (r² = 0.79), and lower leg LSTM (r² = 0.791) (p Our results showed that lower left leg MCSA, measured using pQCT, could be a tool to predict low LSTM in children.

Subjects: subject: Climate change

subject: Adaptation theory

description: Climate change adaptation has emerged as an important topic of both scientific and political interest. Adaptation science now claims a legitimate space in policy agendas based on its prospective insights in providing guidance to adaptation policy and practice. The growth in adaptation science has contributed to the development of principles and assumptions about the nature of climate adaptation, which now influence our research, policy and practice. These emergent guidelines consist of a collection of core assumptions, which have enabled the translation of the more normative and speculative aspects of adaptation into policy relevant knowledge, frequently referred to as ‘adaptation theory’. However, this more applied side of adaptation science still faces substantial difficulties in its ability to move meaningfully between theory and practice. Hence, increasing calls for closer integration of adaptation theory and practice continue to be made in order to validate how ‘adaptation theory’ can support policy and practice. Although academia has responded to these calls by focusing more research on the fundamental characteristics of ‘good’ and ‘successful’ adaptation, it is still unclear what constitutes ’adaptation theory’ and the extent it is relevant for policy- and decision-making processes.

description: A number of studies have investigated when parties change their policy positions. However, this growing body of research has had limited interaction with the literature on issue competition. To bring these two perspectives together, this article investigates how and when parties adjust their respective policy positions on immigration, the environment and the welfare state. In the article it is argued that especially large parties in electoral terms adjust their policy positions on specific issues in response to changes in the party system saliency of these issues. When the other parties increase their focus on a given issue, large parties adjust their position in the direction preferred by a majority of the voters. In the article this argument is investigated empirically, based on CMP data from 18 West European countries from 1980 to 2014. The findings largely support the argument and show a strong potential for further integration of the two dominant perspectives on party competition.

description: In this paper we present a concrete design for a probabilistic (p-) computer based on a network of p-bits, robust classical entities fluctuating between -1 and +1, with probabilities that are controlled through an input constructed from the outputs of other p-bits. The architecture of this probabilistic computer is similar to a stochastic neural network with the p-bit playing the role of a binary stochastic neuron, but with one key difference: there is no sequencer used to enforce an ordering of p-bit updates, as is typically required. Instead, we explore \textit{sequencerless} designs where all p-bits are allowed to flip autonomously and demonstrate that such designs can allow ultrafast operation unconstrained by available clock speeds without compromising the solution's fidelity. Based on experimental results from a hardware benchmark of the autonomous design and benchmarked device models, we project that a nanomagnetic implementation can scale to achieve petaflips per second with millions of neurons. A key contribution of this paper is the focus on a hardware metric $-$ flips per second $-$ as a problem and substrate-independent figure-of-merit for an emerging class of hardware annealers known as Ising Machines. Much like the shrinking feature sizes of transistors that have continually driven Moore's Law, we believe that flips per second can be continually improved in later technology generations of a wide class of probabilistic, domain specific hardware.

description: Both metallic nanoparticles exhibiting plasmonic effects and dielectric nanoparticles coupling the light into resonant modes have shown successful applications to photovoltaics. On a larger scale, microconcentrator optics promise to enhance solar cell efficiency and to reduce material consumption. Here, we want to create a link between the concentrators on the nano- and on the microscale. From metallic nanospheres, we turn to dielectric ones and then look at increasing radii to approach the microscale. The lenses are investigated with respect to their interaction with light using three- dimensional simulations with the finite-element method. Resulting maps of local electric field distributions reveal the focusing behavior of the dielectric spheres. For larger lens sizes, ray tracing calculations, which give ray distributions in agreement with electric field intensities, can be applied. Calculations of back focal lengths in geometrical optics coincide with ray tracing results and allow insight into how the focal length can be tuned as a function of particle size, substrate refractive index, and the shape of the microlens. Despite the similarities we find for the nano- and the microlenses, integration into solar cells needs to be carefully adjusted, depending on the goals of material saving, concentration level, focal distance, and lens size.

description: A gas of $N$ Bogomol'nyi vortices in the Abelian Higgs model is studied on a compact Riemann surface of genus $g$ and area $A$. The volume of the moduli space is computed and found to depend on $N, g$ and $A$, but not on other details of the shape of the surface. The volume is then used to find the thermodynamic partition function and it is shown that the thermodynamical properties of such a gas do not depend on the genus of the Riemann surface.

Stability of Travelling Waves for a Damped Hyperbolic Equation

description: We consider a nonlinear damped hyperbolic equation in $\real^n$, $1 \le n \le 4$, depending on a positive parameter $ε$. If we set $ε=0$, this equation reduces to the well-known Kolmogorov-Petrovski-Piskunov equation. We remark that, after a change of variables, this hyperbolic equation has the same family of one-dimensional travelling waves as the KPP equation. Using various energy functionals, we show that, if $ε>0$, these fronts are locally stable under perturbations in appropriate weighted Sobolev spaces. Moreover, the decay rate in time of the perturbed solutions towards the front of minimal speed $c=2$ is shown to be polynomial. In the one-dimensional case, if $ε< 1/4$, we can apply a Maximum Principle for hyperbolic equations and prove a global stability result. We also prove that the decay rate of the perturbated solutions towards the fronts is polynomial, for all $c > 2$.

description: A complex landscape lies on an alpine plateau in the high Sierra Nevada, California, and comprises spatially organized physical and ecological features that interact to create a unique ecosystem. At the upslope end a tree-limited ribbon forest of whitebark pines grows on the crest of a short, steep slope, which is the only deformation on the otherwise flat plateau. A long-persistent snowbank forms on the slope in the lee of the ribbon forest; meltwater provides moisture to support a productive wet meadow just below. Below the meadow is a narrow, linear “rampart” comprising large sorted stones, and below this lies a large patterned-ground area of cryogenically sorted circles. The soil domains are densely covered with species-rich vegetation and are abruptly segregated from stone domains. The latter serve as distributed springheads in the otherwise dry patterned-ground terrain. American pikas have colonized the rocky nets of the stone domains and forage plants of the soil circles. The unusual context of this landscape enables pika territories to be more tightly packed than in traditional habitat. We propose a scenario for the Pleistocene origin of this ecosystem and a unique lithologic subsurface barrier that contributes to spring formation during warm intervals.

description: We show that for both the unary relation of transcendence and the finitary relation of algebraic independence on a field, the degree spectra of these relations may consist of any single computably enumerable Turing degree, or of those c.e. degrees above an arbitrary fixed $Δ^0_2$ degree. In other cases, these spectra may be characterized by the ability to enumerate an arbitrary $Σ^0_2$ set. This is the first proof that a computable field can fail to have a computable copy with a computable transcendence basis.

description: Here, we present a dissolution study of exposed hydrate from outcrops at Barkley Canyon. Previously, a field experiment on synthetic methane hydrate samples showed that mass transfer controlled dissolution in under-saturated seawater. However, seafloor hydrate outcrops have been shown to have significant longevity compared to expected dissolution rates based upon convective boundary layer diffusion calculations. To help resolve this apparent disconnect between the dissolution rates of synthetic and natural hydrate, an in situ dissolution experiment was performed on two distinct natural hydrate fabrics. A hydrate mound at Barkley Canyon was observed to contain a “yellow” hydrate fabric overlying a “white” hydrate fabric. The yellow hydrate fabric was associated with a light condensate phase and was hard to core. The white hydrate fabric was more porous and relatively easier to core. Cores from both fabrics were inserted to a mesh chamber within a few meters of the hydrate mound. Time-lapse photography monitored the dissolution of the hydrate cores over a two day period. The diameter shrinkage rate for the yellow hydrate was 45.5 nm/s corresponding to a retreat rate of 0.7 m/yr for an exposed surface. The white hydrate dissolved faster at 67.7 nm/s yielding a retreat rate of 1.1 m/yr. It is possible these hydrate mounds were exposed due to the fishing trawler incident in 2001. If these dissolution experiments give a correct simulation, then the exposed faces should have retreated ~ 3.5 m and 5.5 m, respectively, from 2001 to this expedition in August 2006. While the appearance of the hydrate mounds appeared quite similar to photographs taken in 2002, these dissolution experiments show natural hydrate dissolves rapidly in ambient seawater. The natural hydrate dissolution rate is on the same order as the synthetic dissolution experiment strongly implying another control for the dissolution rates of natural hydrate outcrops. Several factors could contribute to the apparent longevity of these exposed mounds from upward flux of methane-rich fluid to protective bacterial coatings.

description: We consider the gravitational magnification of light for binary systems containing two compact objects: white dwarfs, a white dwarf and a neutron star or a white dwarf and a black hole. Light curves of the flares of the white dwarf caused by this effect were built in analytical approximations and by means of numerical calculations. We estimate the probability of the detection of these events in our Galaxy for different types of binaries and show that gravitational lensing provides a tool for detecting such systems. We propose to use the facilities of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) to search for these flares. It is possible to detect several dozens compact object pairs in such a programme over 5 years. This programme is apparently the best way to detect stellar mass black holes with open event horizons.

Z_3-graded exterior differential calculus and gauge theories of higher order
Creators: name: Kerner, R.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: Mathematical Physics (math-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present a possible generalization of the exterior differential calculus, based on the operator d such that d^3=0, but d^2\not=0. The first and second order differentials generate an associative algebra; we shall suppose that there are no binary relations between first order differentials, while the ternary products will satisfy the cyclic relations based on the representation of cyclic group Z_3 by cubic roots of unity. We shall attribute grade 1 to the first order differentials and grade 2 to the second order differentials; under the associative multiplication law the grades add up modulo 3. We show how the notion of covariant derivation can be generalized with a 1-form A, and we give the expression in local coordinates of the curvature 3-form. Finally, the introduction of notions of a scalar product and integration of the Z_3-graded exterior forms enables us to define variational principle and to derive the differential equations satisfied by the curvature 3-form. The Lagrangian obtained in this way contains the invariants of the ordinary gauge field tensor F_{ik} and its covariant derivatives D_i F_{km}.

Equivariant Gromov-Witten Theory of GKM Orbifolds

Publisher: name: Columbia University

Subjects: subject: Mathematics
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: In this paper, we study the all genus Gromov-Witten theory for any GKM orbifold X. We generalize the Givental formula which is studied in the smooth case in [41] [42] [43] to the orbifold case. Specifically, we recover the higher genus Gromov-Witten invariants of a GKM orbifold X by its genus zero data. When X is toric, the genus zero Gromov-Witten invariants of X can be explicitly computed by the mirror theorem studied in [22] and our main theorem gives a closed formula for the all genus Gromov-Witten invariants of X. When X is a toric Calabi-Yau 3-orbifold, our formula leads to a proof of the remodeling conjecture in [38]. The remodeling conjecture can be viewed as an all genus mirror symmetry for toric Calabi-Yau 3-orbifolds. In this case, we apply our formula to the A-model higher genus potential and prove the remodeling conjecture by matching it to the B-model higher genus potential.
Equity of Transit in the Twin Cities: A Benefit-Based Study of the Racial Equity of Access to Transit

description: With many cities in the United States building new transit lines and expanding existing transit services there is no clear understanding of whom the new transit is being built to serve, whether the new services will be equitable to all racial and ethnic groups, and the impact it will have on potentially transit dependent populations. Through an analysis of the residential proximity to transit, the differences in the racial demographics served, and the frequency of transit service at each transit stop, this study focuses on understanding the unequal distribution of travel opportunity in the Twin Cities while reframing the debate on transportation planning and the creation of new transit lines beyond an analysis of service areas and economic benefits into understanding benefit-based claims of racial and ethnic inequality. This study looks at the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota where a significant investment in new transit services has occurred over the last several decades, as they built a new light rail and streetcar system, which is currently in the planning and construction phases for expansion. This study asks how equitable is the existing services towards all racial groups in the region, and whether the currently planned transit improvements represent a move towards equity. By conducting an analysis of the unequal distribution of travel opportunity in the Twin Cities we have been able to expand our understanding of the issues, and formulate specific recommendations to reduce both the benefit-based inequity as well as the procedural-based inequity found in the Twin Cities.

title: Antimicrobial activity of Syzygium spp: natural alternatives for food preservation and as conventional antibiotics

Subjects: subject: food preservation
subject: antibiotic alternatives

subject: antimicrobial activity

description: Due to an increase in microbial resistance, the need to find alternatives to conventional antibiotics chemotherapies has become important. There are currently few alternatives to conventional antibiotics. Of those alternatives, repurposing traditional medicinal plants is perhaps the most promising alternative. In particular, combination therapy using plant extracts with conventional antibiotics may provide potential alternatives to overcome bacterial resistance mechanisms and to repurpose conventional antibiotics. Despite first Australians’ use of plants as medicines, relatively few studies have reported on Australian native medicinal plants combined with conventional antibiotics. Syzygium australe and Syzygium luehmannii are native Australian medicinal plants known for their high antioxidant properties. The first aim of my study was therefore to study the food preservative properties of these plant extracts. The second aim of this thesis was to analyse the antibacterial activity of Australian native Syzygium spp. extracts against diarrhoea and food poisoning bacteria, and against bacterial triggers of some autoimmune inflammatory diseases. This was achieved using both disc diffusion and liquid dilution assays, MICs were calculated, and a comparison was made. The effect of the extracts was also tested in combination with conventional antibiotics to determine the class of interaction on two panels of bacteria. Phytochemical screening of extracts using gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy headspace analysis (GC-MS) was also undertaken to identify notable extract components. This analysis identified phenolic compounds, tannins, flavonoids, saponins and terpenoids in the extracts. It is likely that these phytochemicals may contribute to the potent antibacterial activity of these extracts. Overall, this study suggests that possible resistance modifying agents in the Syzygium spp. may induce interactive effects when the plant extracts are combined with conventional antibiotics. However, various enzymatic and metabolomic studies (e.g., HPLC-MS metabolomic fingerprinting) should be undertaken order to achieve an accurate insight into the synergistic mechanisms and other combinational effects. Isolation of these potential resistance modifying agents within the Syzygium spp. extracts may be highly beneficial in drug designing against the microbial triggers of some autoimmune diseases.

description: Supplementary Figure S13. Impact of clinical features on model performance when clinical variables are concatenated with the 8 features of the recurrence classifier, within a random forest model. Averaged out-of-bag feature importance (and 95% confidence intervals) from 100 models shows that clinical features do not contribute positively to the overall performance of the model. Feature importance (i.e., how heavily the model relies on each given feature for the output prediction) is defined as the change in prediction error when the values of those variables are permuted (to, in effect, break the relationship between the feature and the model outcome) across out-of-bag observations. Hence larger error changes correspond to more vital variables. Insert: Average cross-validated accuracy and hazard ratios of models built with and without clinical variables show (yes/no) significant differences. (PDF 257 kb)

description: As more cities begin to address the lack of bicycle infrastructure through citywide planning efforts, inequalities inherent to the community outreach process threaten to perpetuate inequality of access to biking in cities. This research will explore the ways planners are using equity-focused public engagement to take on the unique challenges of creating an equitable and inclusive bicycle culture, and planning for infrastructure that accommodates the needs of all residents. The research is focused primarily on the public engagement strategies used in the City of Oakland’s 2019 Let’s Bike Oakland planning process. The primary case study is supported by research on the San Jose Bike Plan currently in development, and the Portland Pedestrian Plan released in 2019. This study uses a mainly qualitative research methodology through interviews with planners and consultants involved in the planning process, and analysis of relevant documentation. Through this research I identify powerful engagement and outreach strategies to create an equitable planning process, and suggest how those strategies can be applied further.
On a class of stochastic differential equations used in quantum optics

description: Stochastic differential equations for processes with values in Hilbert spaces are now largely used in the quantum theory of open systems. In this work we present a class of such equations and discuss their main properties; moreover, we explain how they are derived from purely quantum mechanical models, where the dynamics is represented by a unitary evolution in a Hilbert space, and how they are related to the theory of continual measurements. An essential tool is an isomorphism between the bosonic Fock space and the Wiener space, which allow to connect certain quantum objects with probabilistic ones.
