description: The main topic of this paper is the investigation of the modes of interaction of globular clusters (GCs) moving in the inner part of a galaxy. This is tackled by means of high-resolution N-body simulations, whose first results are presented in this article. Our simulations dealt with primordial very massive (order of 10^7 solar masses) GCs that were able to decay, because of dynamical friction, into the inner regions of triaxial galaxies on a time much shorter than their internal relaxation time. To check the disruptive role of both tidal forces and GC-GC collisions, we maximised the tidal interaction considering GCs on quasi-radial orbits. The available CPU resources allowed us to follow 8 oscillations of the GCs along their orbits and the main findings are: i) clusters with an initial high enough King concentration parameter (c>=1.2), preserve up to 50% of their initial mass; ii) the inner density distribution of the survived clusters keep a King model profile; iii) GC-GC collisions have a negligible effect with respect to that caused by the passage through the galactic center; iv) the orbital energy dissipation due to the tidal interaction is of the same order of that caused by dynamical friction; v) complex sub-structures like "ripples" and "clumps" formed, as observed around real clusters. These findings support the validity of the hypothesis of merging of GCs in the galactic central region, with modes that deserve further careful investigations.

description: We study the $q$-state active Potts model (APM) on a two-dimensional lattice in which self-propelled particles have $q$ internal states corresponding to the $q$ directions of motion. A local alignment rule inspired by the ferromagnetic $q$-state Potts model and self-propulsion via biased diffusion according to the internal particle states leads to a collective motion at high densities and low noise. We formulate a coarse-grained hydrodynamic theory of the model, compute the phase diagrams of the APM for $q=4$ and $q=6$ and explore the flocking dynamics in the region, in which the high-density (polar liquid) phase coexists with the low-density (gas) phase and forms a fluctuating stripe of coherently moving particles. As a function of the particle self-propulsion velocity, a novel reorientation transition of the phase-separated profiles from transversal band motion to longitudinal lane formation is revealed, which is absent in the Vicsek model and APM for $q=2$ (active Ising model). The origin of this reorientation transition is obtained via a stability analysis: for large velocities, the transverse diffusion constant approaches zero and stabilizes lanes. Finally, we perform microscopic simulations that corroborate our analytical predictions about the flocking and reorientation transitions and validate the phase diagrams of the APM.

description: Coulomb breakup of a projectile in the Coulomb field of a fully stripped heavy nucleus is at present one of the most popular experimental methods to obtain information on reactions of interest in nuclear astrophysics. Its theoretical interpretation presents, however, considerable difficulties, due to the three-body nature and the infinite range of the Coulomb forces involved. Among the uncertainties affecting present analyses, the possible modification of the dissociation cross section by three-body Coulomb final-state interactions plays a major role. Various methods which have been proposed to deal with it are briefly reviewed. However, none of them is based on a consistent and mathematically satisfactory quantum mechanical treatment, with the exception of the one proposed recently. The latter, being based on the prior form of the dissociation amplitude, makes use of a genuine three-charged particle wave function for the final state which is an exact solution of the three-body Schrödinger equation, albeit only asymptotically, i.e. for large distances. Nevertheless, interesting conclusion can be drawn concerning the influence of three-body Coulomb final-state interactions on quantities of astrophysical interest.

Factors affecting nest predation artificial and real Sagebrush Brewer’s Sparrow (Spizella breweri breweri) nests in the South Okanagan and Similkameen Valleys, British Columbia
Creators: name: Welstead, Kym
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Predation is the predominant cause of nest failure for the Brewer's Sparrow (Spizella breweri breweri; BRSP), a provincially red-listed shrub-steppe species that has experienced significant declines throughout most of its range (Breeding Bird Survey). The factors that influence nest survival are often species and context specific. Therefore, it is important to examine the dynamics of Brewer's Sparrow nest survival in British Columbia (BC) so that appropriate management strategies can be devised. I monitored Brewer's Sparrow nests to test if nest density and avian nest predator activity influenced Brewer's Sparrow nest survival. I also conducted an artificial nest experiment to assess potential nest predation risk relative to Brewer's Sparrow abundance and to determine whether increased avian nest predator activity was associated with reduced nest survival. In addition, within site factors such as tree encroachment, timing, and nest concealment were modelled to determine their effects on the survival of real Brewer's Sparrow nests at all nesting stages and for three nest predator categories - avian, mammalian and pooled (all predators combined) using artificial nests. The study was conducted at six sites in the South Okanagan region of BC. My results showed that increased avian nest predator activity was associated with reduced survival of artificial nests. Avian predation of artificial nests was also highest at sites with few Brewer's Sparrows, suggesting that Brewer's Sparrows may avoid nesting at sites with many avian nest predators. Artificial nest predation by small mammals did not vary with Brewer's Sparrow abundance. Survival analysis revealed that nest initiation date was an important predictor of real nest survival, because depredation increased later in the season. Pooled predators and mammalian depredation of artificial nests mirrored this trend. Avian predation risk was reduced through the season but only in combination with less nest cover. Late in the season, artificial nests placed close to trees experienced less mammalian predation and more avian predation. Tree density was related negatively to the survival of real Brewer's Sparrow nests at the nestling and pooled nesting stages. Overall, my results suggest that Brewer's Sparrows nested in sites lower in avian nest predator activity. This trait resulted in the relative importance of other predators, such as small mammals, becoming more apparent. The importance of nest concealment and tree encroachment on real nest survival may be circumvented by Brewer's Sparrows nesting far from trees, in micro-sites with ample cover, and nesting in sites with low avian nest predator activity.

description: We define the quantum-incoherent relative entropy of coherence ($\mathcal{QI}$ REC) of quantum channels in the framework of the resource theory by using the Choi-Jamiolkowsky isomorphism. Coherence-breaking channels are introduced as free operations and their corresponding Choi states as free states. We also show the relationship between the coherence of channel and the quantum discord and find that basis-dependent quantum asymmetric discord can never be more than the $\mathcal{QI}$ REC for any quantum channels. {Also}, we prove the $\mathcal{QI}$ REC is decreasing for any divisible quantum incoherent channel and we also claim it can be considered as the quantumness of quantum channels. Moreover, we demonstrate that for qubit channels, the relative entropy of coherence (REC) can be equivalent to the REC of their corresponding Choi states and the basis-dependent quantum symmetric discord can never exceed the coherence.

description: We present the current performances of the AMBER / VLTI instrument in terms of differential observables (differential phase and differential visibility) and show that we are already able to reach a sufficient precision for very low mass companions spectroscopy and mass characterization. We perform some extrapolations with the knowledge of the current limitations of the instrument facility. We show that with the current setup of the AMBER instrument, we can already reach $3σ= 10^{-3}$ radians and have the potential to some low mass companions characterization (Brown dwarves or hypothetical very hot Extra Solar Giant Planets). With some upgrades of the VLTI infrastructure, improvements of the instrument calibration and improvements of the observing strategy, we will be able to reach $3σ= 10^{-4}$ radians and will have the potential to perform Extra Solar Giant Planets spectroscopy and mass characterization.
Robustness of the Floquet many-body localized phase in the presence of a smooth and a non-smooth drive

description: In this work, we investigate how the critical driving amplitude at the Floquet MBL-to-ergodic phase transition differs between smooth and non-smooth driving over a wide range of driving frequencies. To this end, we study numerically a disordered spin-1/2 chain which is periodically driven by a sine or a square-wave drive, respectively. In both cases, the critical driving amplitude increases monotonically with the frequency, and at large frequencies, it is identical for the two drives in the appropriate normalization. However, at low and intermediate frequencies the critical amplitude of the square-wave drive depends strongly on the frequency, while the one of the cosine drive is almost constant in a wide frequency range. By analyzing the density of drive-induced resonance in a Fourier space perspective, we conclude that this difference is due to resonances induced by the higher harmonics which are present (absent) in the Fourier spectrum of the square-wave (sine) drive. Furthermore, we suggest a numerically efficient method to estimate the frequency dependence of the critical driving amplitudes for different drives, based on measuring the density of drive-induced resonances.

description: We present high sensitivity radio observations of the merging cluster A521, at a mean redsfhit z=0.247. The observations were carried out with the GMRT at 610 MHz and cover a region of $\sim$1 square degree, with a sensitivity limit of $1σ$ = 35 $μ$Jy b$^{-1}$. The most relevant result of these observations is the presence of a radio relic at the cluster periphery, at the edge of a region where group infalling into the main cluster is taking place. Thanks to the wealth of information available in the literature in the optical and X-ray bands, a multi--band study of the relic and its surroundings was performed. Our analysis is suggestive of a connection between this source and the complex ongoing merger in the A521 region. The relic might be ``revived' fossil radio plasma through adiabatic compression of the magnetic field or shock re--acceleration due to the merger events. We also briefly discussed the possibility that this source is the result of induced ram pressure stripping of radio lobes associated with the nearby cluster radio galaxy J0454--1016a. Allowing for the large uncertainties due to the small statistics, the number of radio emitting early--type galaxies found in A521 is consistent with the expectations from the standard radio luminosity function for local (z$\le$0.09) cluster ellipticals.

description: It is proven that the sum rules for X-ray magnetic dichroism (XMCD) spectra that are used to separate spin and orbital contributions to the magnetic moment are formally correct for an arbitrary strength of electron-electron interactions. However, their practical application for strongly correlated systems can become complicated due to the spectral density weight spreading over a broad energy interval. Relevance of incoherent spectral density for the XMCD sum rules is illustrated by a simple model of a ferromagnet with orbital degrees of freedom.

UntitlAn Evaluation of Four Solutions to the Forking Paths Problem: Adjusted Alpha, Preregistration, Sensitivity Analyses, and Abandoning the Neyman-Pearson Approached Item

description: Gelman and Loken (2013, 2014) proposed that when researchers base their statistical analyses on the idiosyncratic characteristics of a specific sample (e.g., a nonlinear transformation of a variable because it is skewed), they open up alternative analysis paths in potential replications of their study that are based on different samples (i.e., no transformation of the variable because it is not skewed). These alternative analysis paths count as additional (multiple) tests and, consequently, they increase the probability of making a Type I error during hypothesis testing. The present article considers this forking paths problem and evaluates four potential solutions that might be used in psychology and other fields: (a) adjusting the prespecified alpha level, (b) preregistration, (c) sensitivity analyses, and (d) abandoning the Neyman-Pearson approach. It is concluded that although preregistration and sensitivity analyses are effective solutions to p-hacking, they are ineffective against result-neutral forking paths, such as those caused by transforming data. Conversely, although adjusting the alpha level cannot address p-hacking, it can be effective for result-neutral forking paths. Finally, abandoning the Neyman-Pearson approach represents a further solution to the forking paths problem.

From prompt to direct J/$ψ$ production: new insights on the $χ_{c1}$ and $χ_{c2}$ polarizations and feed-down contributions from a global-fit analysis of mid-rapidity LHC data

description: While the prompt J/$ψ$ cross section and polarization have been measured with good precision as a function of transverse momentum, $p_{\rm T}$, those of the directly produced J/$ψ$ are practically unknown, given that the cross sections and polarizations of the $χ_{c1}$ and $χ_{c2}$ mesons, large indirect contributors to J/$ψ$ production, are only known with rather poor accuracy. The lack of precise measurements of the $χ_{cJ}$ polarizations induces large uncertainties in the level of their feed-down contributions to the prompt J/$ψ$ yield, because of the polarization-dependent acceptance corrections. The experimental panorama of charmonium production can be significantly improved through a consistent and model-independent global analysis of existing measurements of J/$ψ$, $ψ$(2S) and $χ_{c}$ cross sections and polarizations, faithfully respecting all the correlations and uncertainties. In particular, it is seen that the $χ_{cJ}$ polarizations and feed-down fractions to J/$ψ$ production have a negligible dependence on the J/$ψ$ $p_{\rm T}$, with average values $λ_\vartheta^{χ_{c1}} = 0.55 \pm 0.23$, $λ_\vartheta^{χ_{c2}} = -0.39 \pm 0.22$, $R^{χ_{c1}} = (18.8 \pm 1.4)\%$ and $R^{χ_{c2}} = (6.5 \pm 0.5)\%$. The analysis also shows that $(67.2 \pm 1.9)\%$ of the prompt J/$ψ$ yield is due to directly-produced mesons, of polarization constrained to remarkably small values, $λ_\vartheta^{{\rm J}/ψ} = 0.04 \pm 0.06$.

Two on-chip flux bias lines allow independent flux control of any two of the three elements, as illustrated by a two-dimensional qubit flux map. The application of microwaves yields a frequency-flux dispersion curve for 1- and 2-photon driving of the single-qubit excited state, and coherent manipulation of the single-qubit state results in Rabi oscillations and Ramsey fringes. This architecture should be scalable to many qubits and SQUIDs on a single chip.

description: During a typical month in 2001, food pantries served about 12.5 million people, and emergency kitchens served about 1.1 million people. Food pantries and emergency kitchens play an important role in feeding America's low-income and needy populations. These organizations are part of the Emergency Food Assistance System (EFAS), a network run largely by private organizations with some Federal support. This report presents findings from a national study of EFAS clients, which surveyed clients who received emergency food assistance from selected food pantries and emergency kitchens. The study finds that food pantries and emergency kitchens serve a diverse clientele, but that almost three-fourths of those served are food insecure. The majority of EFAS households receive Federal food assistance, including two-thirds of food pantry clients and 45 percent of emergency kitchen clients. However, a substantial number of EFAS households do not receive food stamps, though they appear to be eligible for them.

description: Binning (a.k.a. discretization) of numerically continuous measurements is a wide-spread but controversial practice in data collection, analysis, and presentation. The consequences of binning have been evaluated for many different kinds of data analysis methods, however so far the effect of binning on causal discovery algorithms has not been directly investigated. This paper reports the results of a simulation study that examined the effect of binning on the Greedy Equivalence Search (GES) causal discovery algorithm. Our findings suggest that unbinned continuous data often result in the highest search performance, but some exceptions are identified. We also found that binned data are more sensitive to changes in sample size and tuning parameters, and identified some interactive effects between sample size, binning, and tuning parameter on performance.

description: A well-known property of aromatic molecules is their highly anisotropic response to the presence of an external magnetic field: the component of their magnetic susceptibility parallel to the field is generally much larger than the remaining in-plane components. This intriguing phenomenon is rationalized as a consequence of the delocalization of the itinerant electrons that populate the aromatic ring. In this work, we revisit the magnetism of aromatic molecules and propose an extended Hubbard model for the electrons in the aromatic ring that takes into account the interaction between them and the bonding electrons. We show that the bonding electrons play an important and overlooked role: they mediate an effective, attractive momentum-momentum interaction between the itinerant electrons, which promotes a strong enhancement in the magnetic response of the aromatic ring. For the particular case of benzene, we show that the experimentally observed magnetic anisotropy is recovered with realistic values of the coupling constants.

description: Eighty-nine percent of American households were food secure throughout the entire year 2001. The rest were food insecure at least some time during the year, meaning they did not always have access to enough food for active, healthy lives for all household members because they lacked sufficient money or other resources for food. The prevalence of food insecurity rose from 10.1 percent in 1999 to 10.7 percent in 2001, and the prevalence of food insecurity with hunger rose from 3.0 percent to 3.3 percent during the same period. This report, based on data from the December 2001 food security survey, provides the most recent statistics on the food security of U.S. households, as well as on how much they spent for food and the extent to which food-insecure households participated in Federal and community food assistance programs. Survey responses indicate that the typical food-secure household in the United States spent 32 percent more than the typical food-insecure household of the same size and household composition. About one-half of all food-insecure households participated in one or more of the three largest Federal food assistance programs during the month prior to the survey. About 19 percent of food-insecure households 2.8 percent of all U.S. households obtained emergency food from a food pantry at some time during the year.

description: To introduce the heterogeneous multiscale (HetMS) model for Monte Carlo simulations of gold nanoparticle dose-enhanced radiation therapy (GNPT), a model characterized by its varying levels of detail on different length scales within a single phantom; to apply the HetMS model in two different scenarios relevant for GNPT and to compare computed results with others published. The HetMS model is implemented in EGSnrc; the code is tested via comparisons with published data from independent gold nanoparticle (GNP) simulations. Two distinct scenarios for the HetMS model are considered: (1) monoenergetic photon beams incident on a large cylinder; (2) isotropic point source at the center of a large sphere with GNPs diffusing from the center. Dose enhancement factors (DEFs) are compared for different source energies, depths, gold concentrations, GNP sizes, and modeling assumptions. Simulation efficiencies are investigated. The HetMS MC simulations account for the competing effects of photon fluence perturbation coupled with enhanced local energy deposition. DEFs are most sensitive to these effects for lower source energies, varying with distance from the source; DEFs below unity can occur at energies relevant for brachytherapy. Compared to discrete modeling of GNPs throughout the gold-containing volume, efficiencies are enhanced by up to a factor of 122 with the HetMS approach. For the spherical phantom, DEFs vary with time for diffusion, radionuclide, and radius. By combining geometric models of varying complexity on different length scales within a single simulation, the HetMS model can effectively account for both macroscopic and microscopic effects. Efficiency gains with the HetMS approach enable diverse calculations which would otherwise be prohibitively long. The HetMS model may be extended to diverse scenarios relevant for GNPT, providing further avenues for research and development.

In contrast, single-adult households show little difference in food spending between food stamps and an equivalent amount of cash. Because over 30 percent of food stamp participants are in multi-adult households, switching from food stamps to cash may reduce food purchases of these needy households. If that is indeed the case, the use of food stamps and other in-kind benefits may be more desirable than other forms of assistance.

title: Hydrodynamic Investigations of Rapidly Stretched Liquid Bridges
Creators: name: Brulin, Sebastian

description: Liquid bridges have become an integral part of many industrial processes relevant to consumer production. For example, the coating technology often includes dip-coating, printing, or spraying of liquid materials. Liquid bridge or liquid jet fast stretching is an essential element of such processes. Bridge stretching determines the outcome of liquid atomization and the agglomeration of wet particles. Moreover, liquid bridge stretching is used for the rheological characterization of complex liquids. This thesis deals with the investigation of fast stretched Newtonian fluid bridges. The unique feature of this study is the investigation of particularly high stretching rates for very small liquid bridge heights. A system consisting of two parallel substrates was developed. One substrate can be moved with a constant, controllable acceleration while the other substrate remains stationary. It allows performing parameter studies with accelerations of up to 180 m/s2 and initial bridge heights starting from 50 μm. Extensive experimental and theoretical studies were carried out to identify the most influencing parameters and, therefore, to understand the physical mechanisms of the observed phenomena better. The characterization includes a description of the kinematics of the liquid bridge stretching and different outcomes like liquid cavitation, finger formation during stretching, and bridge pinch-off. The evolution of the main geometrical properties of the stretching liquid bridge is characterized. These properties include the curvature and shape of the meniscus, length, and diameter of the liquid bridge. Two main regimes of a fast stretching are identified: viscous regime, determined by the Reynolds number, and capillary regime for low viscosity liquids, governed by the Weber number. The knowledge of the kinematics of the bridge allows us to determine the appropriate scales for a description of the stretching outcomes. The cavitation phenomena are described using the estimation of the distribution of the viscous pressure in the gap. This pressure determines the evolution of the cavity radius. A bubble growth model has been developed, which allows the prediction of the instant of the maximum bubble diameter as a function of the cavitation inception rather well. Next, the stability analysis of the bridge free interface is performed, which accounts for the viscous effects and inertia. The predicted condition for the appearance of the fingers and the number of these fingers agree well with the experimental data. Finally, the model for the pinch-off time of the stretching bridge is developed. The scales for the pinch-off time have been determined for viscous and for the capillary stretching regimes. The experimental and theoretical results can be potentially useful for optimizing the operational conditions during printing and modeling atomization, accretion, and agglomeration phenomena.

description: This report provides a summary of a comprehensive review and synthesis of published research on the impact of USDA's domestic food and nutrition assistance programs on participants' nutrition and health outcomes. The outcome measures reviewed include food expenditures, household nutrient availability, dietary intake, other measures of nutrition status, food security, birth outcomes, breastfeeding behaviors, immunization rates, use and cost of health care services, and selected nonhealth outcomes, such as academic achievement and school performance (children) and social isolation (elderly). The report is one of four volumes produced by a larger study that includes Volume 1, Research Design; Volume 2, Data Sources; Volume 3, Literature Review; and Volume 4, Executive Summary of the Literature Review. The review examines the research on 15 USDA food assistance and nutrition programs but tends to focus on the largest ones for which more research is available: food stamps, school feeding programs, and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). Over half of USDA's budget - $41.6 billion in fiscal year 2003 - was devoted to food assistance and nutrition programs that provide low-income families and children with access to a healthy diet.

description: We evaluate thresholds resummed spectra in B -> Xu l nu decays in next-to-leading order. We present results for the distribution in E_X and in m_X^2/E_X^2, for the distribution in E_X and E_l and for the distribution in E_X, where E_X and m_X are the energy and the invariant mass of the final hadronic state Xu respectively and E_l is the energy of the charged lepton. We explicitly show that all these spectra (where there is no integration over the hadronic energy) can be directly related to the photon spectrum in B -> Xs gamma via short-distance coefficient functions.
description: 33 pages, no figures. The section on the double distribution in the hadron and electron energies has been largely rewritten with an improved resummation scheme. Small stylistic changes in the remaining sections. References added
Sulphur abundances in Terzan 7

description: We present here the first measurements of sulphur abundances in extragalactic stars. We make use of high resolution spectra, obtained with UVES at the ESO 8.2 m Kueyen telescope, of three giants of the Globular Cluster Terzan 7, which belongs to the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy. We measure the sulphur abundances using the lines of S I multiplet 1. The S/Fe ratios for all three stars are nearly solar, thus considerably lower than what is found in Galactic stars of comparable iron content ([Fe/H] ~ -0.50). This finding is in keeping with the abundances of other alpha-chain elements in this cluster and in Sagittarius and other dSphs in general. These low alpha-chain elements to iron ratios suggest that Sagittarius and its Globular Clusters have experienced a low or bursting star-formation rate. Our sulphur abundances imply = -1.61 which is comparable to what is found in many H II regions of similar oxygen content, and is slightly lower than the solar value (log (S/O)sun = -1.51). These are also the first measurements of sulphur abundances in a Globular Cluster, thus a direct comparison of Terzan 7 and Galactic Globular Clusters is not possible yet. However our analysis suggests that the lines of S I multiplet 1 should be measurable for other Globular Clusters at least down to a metallicity ~ -1.5.

description: Rebates from infant formula manufacturers to State agencies that administer the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) support over one-quarter of all WIC participants. However, concerns have been raised that WIC and its infant formula rebate program may significantly affect the infant formula prices faced by non-WIC consumers. This report presents findings from the most comprehensive national study of infant formula prices at the retail level. For a given set of wholesale prices, WIC and its infant formula rebate program resulted in modest increases in the supermarket price of infant formula, especially in States with a high percentage of WIC formula-fed infants. However, lower priced infant formulas are available to non-WIC consumers in most areas of the country, and the number of these lower priced alternatives is increasing over time.

description: The gust wind tunnel at IDR, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM), has been enhanced and the impact of the modification has been characterized. Several flow quality configurations have been tested. The problems in measuring gusty winds with Pitot tubes have been considered. Experimental results have been obtained and compared with theoretically calculated results (based on potential flow theory). A theoretical correction term has been proposed for unsteady flow measurements obtained with Pitot tubes. The effect of unsteady flow on structures and laying bodies on the ground has been also considered. A theoretical model has been proposed for a semi-circular cylinder and experimental tests have been performed to study the unsteady flow effects, which can help in clarifying the phenomenon

description: Since passage of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, most States have retargeted services in the Food Stamp Employment and Training (E&T) Program to able-bodied adults without dependents (ABAWDs). The Balanced Budget Act more than doubled funding to States for USDA's Food Stamp E&T Program. The law requires States to send at least 80 percent of the funding on services that can fulfill the work requirement imposed by welfare reform legislation in 1996 on ABAWDs. ABAWDs must either work at least 20 hours per week or participate in a qualifying employment and trainig activity. This report fulfills the Act's mandate to USDA to examine and report on how States use the new funds to create work opportunities for ABAWDs and if this is done in an efficient and effective manner. The results show that total E&T program spending increased, though States used less of their Federal grant allocations and more of State matching funds. Nationwide participation in the E&T program dropped sharply after the Balanced Budget Act, with variations among States and among E&T component types. States have specific recommendations for improving the program. This publication provides the findings of the study.

description: We construct a variety of novel localized states with distinct topological structures in the 3D discrete nonlinear Schr{ö}dinger equation. The states can be created in Bose-Einstein condensates trapped in strong optical lattices, and crystals built of microresonators. These new structures, most of which have no counterparts in lower dimensions, range from purely real patterns of dipole, quadrupole and octupole types to vortex solutions, such as "diagonal" and "oblique" vortices, with axes oriented along the respective directions $(1,1,1)$ and $(1,1,0)$. Vortex "cubes" (stacks of two quasi-planar vortices with like or opposite polarities) and "diamonds" (discrete skyrmions formed by two vortices with orthogonal axes) are constructed too. We identify stability regions of these 3D solutions and compare them with their 2D counterparts, if any. An explanation for the stability/instability of most solutions is proposed. The evolution of unstable states is studied as well.
