description: The peak effect in critical current density J_c is investigated by studying the flux dynamics in V_3Si using bulk magnetometry, small-angle neutron scattering, and transport measurements on clean single-crystal samples from the same ingot. For a field-cooled history, well-defined structure in the vortex lattice was found for fields and temperatures (H,T) below the peak-effect line H_P(T); above this line, the structure disappeared. History-dependent, metastable disorder is found only for (H,T) below H_P(T) but the vortex system is reproducibly re-ordered either by field-cooling or a low-frequency, pulsed "shaking" transport current. The latter is shown to attain Bardeen-Stephen flux flow. In addition, flux flow is observed at H_P(T) at high current levels. The results, though novel, support the traditional picture of H_P(T) as an order-disorder transition due to the competition between elasticity and pinning.

description: Quantitatively accurate electronic structure calculations rely on the proper description of electron correlation. A judicious choice of the approximate quantum chemistry method depends upon the importance of dynamic and nondynamic correlation, which is usually assessed by scalar measures. Existing measures of electron correlation do not consider separately the regions of the Cartesian space where dynamic or nondynamic correlation are most important. We introduce real-space descriptors of dynamic and nondynamic electron correlation that admit orbital decomposition. Integration of the local descriptors yields global numbers that can be used to quantify dynamic and nondynamic correlation. Illustrative examples over different chemical systems with varying electron correlation regimes are used to demonstrate the capabilities of the local descriptors. Since the expressions only require orbitals and occupation numbers, they can be readily applied in the context of local correlation methods, hybrid methods, density matrix functional theory and fractional-occupancy density functional theory.

 Diaphera — Zilch, 1960: 574.
 Diaphera — Richardson, 1988: 5.
 Diaphera — Schileyko, 2000: 800.
 Type species. Cylindrella cumingiana L. Pfeiffer, 1845 (described in Philippi, 1845 –1847) by monotypy.
 Diagnosis. Shell shape variable (cylindrical to spindle-shaped and ovoid and elongate conical), last quarter to half whorl free (exceptionally not, see remarks), apertural dentition agree with that of Sinoennea (parietal lamella + columellar lamella, upper palatal tooth situated on peristome, lower palatal tooth situated deeper). See also remarks.
 Distribution. Philippines, Borneo, northern Vietnam, South China (Guangxi), Cambodia, Thailand, southern Myanmar.
 Remarks. This genus is recognised and defined on the basis of a free aperture and part of the last whorl, approximately a quarter to half whorl long. Given the patchy distribution of this genus, and the otherwise diverse shell characters, it is likely that the species classified here do not form a monophyletic group, and the free aperture has evolved multiple times independently (see also Discussion). Diaphera turbanophora, new species, does not have this character, but agrees with other Diaphera in other respects.
 Other than the Diaphera species inhabiting Myanmar, the following species are known from the continent (= outside of the Philippines and Borneo): D. densecostulata (Möllendorff, 1901) (Vietnam), D. prima Panha in Sutcharit et al., 2010 (Thailand), D. saurini Benthem Jutting, 1962 (Cambodia). A new Diaphera species is being described from Chinese Guangxi Province (Z.-Y. Chen & Páll-Gergely, in press).

description: Climate change has the potential to drive transformations in natural resource access, availability, and use that will have significant, far‐reaching impacts worldwide, not only for those of us living today but also for future generations. As economists we are being called upon to assess the economic impacts of alternative climate change scenarios and the costs of efforts to mitigate and adapt to the adverse consequences of climate change. I classify these professional activities as “economic analysis,” and I cite John Quiggin’s 2011 AAEA Fellows Address (Quiggin 2012) as one of many noteworthy contributions we have made. Equally important, we are being asked to design economic artifacts – institutions, markets, contractual relationships, measuring and monitoring procedures, and decision support systems – that will allow people to better respond to and adapt to changing circumstances. I classify these professional activities as “economic design.” In my AAEA Presidential Address (King 2012) I asserted that these two sets of activities, economic analysis and economic design, while closely related and highly complementary, are also distinct and different. I also asserted that, while we are familiar with and accustomed to the processes and methods of economic analysis, our shared understanding of economic design scholarship is less fully developed. This paper focuses on the general questions of how we do economic design and what constitutes good scholarship in economic design, with illustrations and examples related to the design of climate change policy.

description: The UK Biobank is a large-scale health resource comprising genetic, environmental and medical information on approximately 500,000 volunteer participants in the UK, recruited at ages 40--69 during the years 2006--2010. The project monitors the health and well-being of its participants. This work demonstrates how these data can be used to estimate in a semi-parametric fashion the effects of genetic and environmental risk factors on the hazard functions of various diseases, such as colorectal cancer. An illness-death model is adopted, which inherently is a semi-competing risks model, since death can censor the disease, but not vice versa. Using a shared-frailty approach to account for the dependence between time to disease diagnosis and time to death, we provide a new illness-death model that assumes Cox models for the marginal hazard functions. The recruitment procedure used in this study introduces delayed entry to the data. An additional challenge arising from the recruitment procedure is that information coming from both prevalent and incident cases must be aggregated. Lastly, we do not observe any deaths prior to the minimal recruitment age, 40. In this work we provide an estimation procedure for our new illness-death model that overcomes all the above challenges.

description: We combine spectra of VY CMa obtained with the short- and long-wavelength spectrometers, SWS and LWS, on the Infrared Space Observatory to provide a first detailed continuum spectrum of this highly luminous star. The circumstellar dust cloud through which the star is observed is partially self-absorbing, which makes for complex computational modeling. We review previous work and comment on the range of uncertainties about the physical traits and mineralogical composition of the modeled disk. We show that these uncertainties significantly affect the modeling of the outflow and the estimated mass loss. In particular, we demonstrate that a variety of quite diverse models can produce good fits to the observed spectrum. If the outflow is steady, and the radiative repulsion on the dust cloud dominates the star's gravitational attraction, we show that the total dust mass-loss rate is $\sim 4\times 10^{-6}M_{\odot}$ yr$^{-1}$, assuming that the star is at a distance of 1.5 kpc. Several indications, however, suggest that the outflow from the star may be spasmodic. We discuss this and other problems facing the construction of a physically coherent model of the dust cloud and a realistic mass-loss analysis.

description: Interstellar C IV absorption line studies of the hot gaseous halo of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) have been hindered by non-ideal selections of early-type probe stars in regions where C+3 can be produced locally via photoionization, fast stellar winds, or supernovae. To observe stars outside such regions, precise spectral classifications of OB stars in the field are needed. Therefore, we have obtained medium-dispersion spectra of 42 early-type stars in the LMC that are distributed outside superbubbles or supergiant shells. The spectral classification of these stars is presented in this paper. Nineteen of these program stars have spectral types between B1 and O7, and are thus suitable probes for interstellar C IV absorption line studies of the hot gaseous halo of the LMC.

description: Wildland fire emissions from both wildfires and prescribed fires represent a major component of overall U.S. emissions. Obtaining an accurate, time-resolved inventory of these emissions is important for many purposes, including to account for emissions of greenhouse gases and short-lived climate forcers, as well as to model air quality for health, regulatory, and planning purposes. For the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s 2011 and 2014 National Emissions Inventories, a new methodology was developed to reconcile the wide range of available fire information sources into a single coherent inventory. The Comprehensive Fire Information Reconciled Emissions (CFIRE) inventory effort utilized satellite fire detections as well as a large number of national, state, tribal, and local databases. The methodology and results for CONUS and Alaska were documented and compared against other fire emissions databases, and the efficacy of the overall effort was evaluated. Results show the overall spatial pattern differences and relative seasonality of wildfires and prescribed fires across the country. Prescribed burn emissions occurred primarily in non-summer months, were concentrated in the Southeast, Northwest, and lower Midwest, and were relatively consistent year to year. Wildfire emissions were much more variable, but occurred primarily in the summer and fall. Overall, CFIRE represents a third of total emitted PM2.5 across all sources in the National Emissions Inventory, with prescribed fires accounting for nearly half of all CFIRE emissions. Compared with other wildland fire emissions inventories derived solely from satellite detections, the CFIRE inventory shows markedly increased emissions, reflecting the importance of the multiple national and regional databases included in CFIRE in capturing small fires and prescribed fires in particular.

description: This paper examines the complex relationship between urbanization and high-value crops production in the US. High-value products (HVPs) are defined to include farms producing fruit, vegetable, and greenhouse and nursery crops. Analysis of historical (1949-2002) shifts in production and redefinitions of metropolitan counties shows that HVPs production has been highly concentrated in metropolitan counties but in stable proportions, especially in the Northeast, Southeast and Pacific regions. To help understand these spatial relationships, a model of location and production is developed to emphasize how urbanization economies, agglomeration economies, and firm-specific factors affect the HVP production. The model is implemented for the greenhouse/nursery sector in the Northeast. Results show that current greenhouse/nursery production levels are positively correlated across counties. A critical element in assuring the continued economic vibrancy of greenhouse/nursery business will depend on operators adapting to increased competition for land in metropolitan areas while exploiting the marketing options offered by proximity to a growing number of non-farm residents.

description: We study the one-shot distillation of general quantum resources, providing a unified quantitative description of the maximal fidelity achievable in this task, and revealing similarities shared by broad classes of resources. We establish fundamental quantitative and qualitative limitations on resource distillation applicable to all convex resource theories. We show that every convex quantum resource theory admits a meaningful notion of a pure maximally resourceful state which maximizes several monotones of operational relevance and finds use in distillation. We endow the generalized robustness measure with an operational meaning as an exact quantifier of performance in distilling such maximal states in many classes of resources including bi- and multipartite entanglement, multi-level coherence, as well as the whole family of affine resource theories, which encompasses important examples such as asymmetry, coherence, and thermodynamics.

Parasinoennea

description: Parasinoennea Z.-Y. Chen & Páll-Gergely, new genus
 Type species. Ennea splendens Möllendorff, 1882 (Fig. 9A–E).
 Diagnosis. Shell ovate, glossy; aperture triangular, adnate to the penultimate whorl.
 Differential diagnosis. The shell shape of Parasinoennea, new genus, is oval, whereas it is usually elongated and cylindrical in Sinoennea. The teleoconch of Parasinoennea is usually smooth, sometimes ornamented by low, blunt ribs, but is always glossy. In contrast, the ribs of Sinoennea are usually sharp and elevated, and the shell has a less glossy appearance. The main difference is in the aperture shape, which is triangular (in some species the palato-basal part distorted laterally) in Parasinoennea, new genus, but elongated oval and cylindrical in Sinoennea. The aperture is adnate (i.e., the parietal callus is attached to the penultimate whorl) in Parasinoennea, new genus, and the parietal callus is always clearly separated from the penultimate whorl in Sinoennea. The apertural dentition is not clearly different, although Parasinoennea, new genus, often possesses two tubercles (denticles) on the columellar peristome (anterior to the columellar lamella), which has not been observed in any Sinoennea species to our knowledge. The upper denticle is probably homologous with the upper denticle of Pupennea, new genus, and Platylennea, new genus.
 Included species. Parasinoennea demangei (Bavay & Dautzenberg, 1912) (northern Vietnam), P. formica (Bavay & Dautzenberg, 1912) (northern Vietnam), P. splendens splendens (Möllendorff, 1882) (Guangdong, China), P. splendens hongkongensis Möllendorff, 1885 (Hongkong, China), P. ovulum (Bavay & Dautzenberg, 1912) (northern Vietnam) (Figs. 9F–N, 22H).
 Etymology. The Greek prefix para- (παρά, meaning beside, next to, against, etc.) is attached to Sinoennea to show that it is separated from that genus. Grammatical gender: feminine.
 Distribution. South China (Guangxi, Guangdong, Hong Kong, Jiangxi) and northern Vietnam (Fig. 10).
 Remarks. Sinoennea longtanensis S. Ouyang, X. -M. Liu & X.-P. Wu, 2012 does not differ from typical P. splendens (examined material: SMF 42775, lectotype, see Fig. 9A–E) in any traits. Therefore, we considered it a synonym of the latter.

description: The air quality in cities in Kazakhstan has been poorly investigated despite the worsening conditions. This study evaluates national air pollution monitoring network data (Total Suspended Particle-TSP, NO2, SO2, and O3) from Kazakhstan cities and provides estimates of excess mortality rates associated with PM2.5 exposure using the Global Exposure Mortality Model (GEMM) concentration-response function. Morbidity rates associated with PM10 exposure were also estimated. Annual average (2015-2017) population-weighted concentrations were Kazakhstan cities was 157, 51, 29, and 41 μg m−3 for TSP, NO2, SO2, and O3 respectively. We estimated a total of 8134 adult deaths per year attributable to PM2.5 (average over 2015–2017) in the selected 21 cities of Kazakhstan. The leading causes of death were ischemic heart disease (4080), stroke (1613), lower respiratory infections (662), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (434), lung cancer (332). The per capita mortality rate attributable to ambient air pollution (per 105 adults per year) was less than 150 in nine cities, between 150 and 204 in nine cities, and between 276 and 373 in three industrial cities (Zhezkazgan, Temirtau, and Balkhash). Implications: Quantitative information on the health impacts of air pollution can be useful for decision-makers in Kazakhstan to justify environmental policies and identify policy and funding priorities for addressing air pollution issues. This information can also be useful for policymakers by improving the quality of government-funded environmental reports and strategic documents, as they have many shortcomings in terms of the selection of air quality indicators, identification of priority pollutants, and identification of sources of pollution. This study has high significance due to the lack of data and knowledge in Central Asia, especially Kazakhstan.

description: The structure and stresses of static granular packs in cylindrical containers are studied using large-scale discrete element molecular dynamics simulations in three dimensions. We generate packings by both pouring and sedimentation and examine how the final state depends on the method of construction. The vertical stress becomes depth-independent for deep piles and we compare these stress depth-profiles to the classical Janssen theory. The majority of the tangential forces for particle-wall contacts are found to be close to the Coulomb failure criterion, in agreement with the theory of Janssen, while particle-particle contacts in the bulk are far from the Coulomb criterion. In addition, we show that a linear hydrostatic-like region at the top of the packings unexplained by the Janssen theory arises because most of the particle-wall tangential forces in this region are far from the Coulomb yield criterion. The distributions of particle-particle and particle-wall contact forces $P(f)$ exhibit exponential-like decay at large forces in agreement with previous studies.

description: We report the results of observations of V4633 Sgr (Nova Sagittarii 1998) during 1998-2000. Two photometric periodicities were present in the light curve during the three years of observations: a stable one at P=3.014 h, which is probably the orbital period of the underlying binary system, and a second one of lower coherence, approximately 2.5 per cent longer than the former. The latter periodicity may be a permanent superhump, or alternatively, the spin period of the white dwarf in a nearly synchronous magnetic system. A third period, at P=5.06 d, corresponding to the beat between the two periods was probably present in 1999. Our results suggest that a process of mass transfer took place in the binary system since no later than two and a half months after the nova eruption. We derive an interstellar reddening of E(B-V)~0.21 from our spectroscopic measurements and published photometric data, and estimate a distance of d~9 kpc to this nova.

description: We examine the palindromic automorphism group $ΠA(F_n)$ of a free group $F_n$, a group first defined by Collins which is related to hyperelliptic involutions of mapping class groups, congruence subgroups of $SL_n(\Z)$, and symmetric automorphism groups of free groups. Cohomological properties of the group are explored by looking at a contractible space on which $ΠA(F_n)$ acts properly with finite quotient. Our results answer some conjectures of Collins and provide a few striking results about the cohomology of $ΠA(F_n)$, such as that its rational cohomology is zero at the vcd.

description: Excerpts from the report Introduction: This study was designed to provide information to sheep producers, meat packers, wholesale distributors, and retailers for use in planning improved merchandising, promotion, and advertising programs for lamb. In 1955, lamb comprised less than 3 percent of the 26 1/2 billion pounds of meat (not including poultry and fish) consumed in this country. The quantity of lamb eaten was less than one-tenth the volume consumed of either beef or pork. Per capita consumption of lamb in 1955 was 4.6 pounds, down from 7.2 pounds in 1945--the highest in recent years. An essential part of a market expansion program for a specific commodity is to insure maximum opportunity for consumers to purchase the item. The results of this study show the retail availability of lamb by region, by size of city, and by kind, size, and management of store; when lamb is available; and how much lamb compared with other kinds of meats is available. The research also sheds light on retail merchandising and buying practices for lamb.

description: In this paper we study the evolution of 7Li in the Galaxy considering the contributions of various stellar sources: type II supernovae, novae, red giant stars, and asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars. We present new results for the production of 7Li in AGB stars via the hot bottom burning process, based on stellar evolutionary models by Frost (1997). In the light of recent observations of dense circumstellar shells around evolved stars in the Galaxy and in the Magellanic Clouds, we also consider the impact of a very high mass-loss rate episode (superwind) before the evolution off the AGB phase on the 7Li enrichment in the interstellar medium. We compare the Galactic evolution of 7Li obtained with these new 7Li yields (complemented with a critical re-analysis of the role of supernovae, novae and giant stars) with a selected compilation of spectroscopic observations including halo and disk field stars as well as young stellar clusters. We conclude that even allowing for the large uncertainties in the theoretical calculation of mass-loss rates at the end of the AGB phase, the superwind phase has a significant effect on the 7Li enrichment of the Galaxy.

description: Using a density-functional based algorithm, the full IR and Raman spectra are calculated for the neutral Ti_8C_12 cluster assuming geometries of Th, Td, D2d and C3v symmetry. The Th pentagonal dodecahedron is found to be dynamically unstable. The calculated properties of the relaxed structure having C3v symmetry are found to be in excellent agreement with experimental gas phase infrared results, ionization potential and electron affinity measurements. Consequently, the results presented may be used as a reference for further experimental characterization using vibrational spectroscopy.

description: Previous studies have found underestimation of risk, or overconfidence, to be a key factor in entrepreneurship. We use a simple model of competitive equilibrium to show that an irrational under-estimation of risk provides a competitive advantage leading to a greater chance of survival under competitive pressures. Overconfidence leads to greater investment, production levels, average profit and greater variance of profits. Despite the greater variance of profits, if enough producers under-estimate their risk, they should collectively drive more rational decision-makers form the market. We illustrate a local equivalency between Kahneman and Tversky’s prospect theory model, and a subjective expected utility model with decision-makers display overconfidence. This model allows us to characterize risk attitudes through two primary effects: diminishing marginal utility of wealth (rational), and diminishing distance perception (behavioral). Diminishing distance perception is a simple measure of misperception of risk. Results from economic simulations suggest that diminishing distance perception may be a more important determinant of market behavior, and entrepreneurial success, than diminishing marginal utility of wealth.

description: We use a simple analytic model to deproject 2-d luminosity functions (LF) of galaxies in the Coma cluster measured by Beijersbergen et al. 2002. We demonstrate that the shapes of the LFs change after deprojection. It is therefore essential to correct LFs for projection effects. The deprojected LFs of the central area have best-fitting Schechter parameters of M^{*}_U=-18.31^{+0.08}_{-0.08} and α_U=-1.27^{+0.018}_{-0.018}, M^{*}_B=-19.79^{+0.14}_{-0.15} and α_B=-1.44^{+0.016}_{-0.016} and M^{*}_r=-21.77^{+0.20}_{-0.28} and α_r=-1.27^{+0.012}_{-0.012}. The corrections are not significant enough to change the previously observed trend of increasing faint end slopes with increasing distance to the cluster center. The weighted U, B, and r band slopes of the deprojected LFs show a slightly weaker steepening with increasing projected cluster radius.

description: Unstructured data from diverse sources, such as social media and aerial imagery, can provide valuable up-to-date information for intelligent situation assessment. Mining these different information sources could bring major benefits to applications such as situation awareness in disaster zones and mapping the spread of diseases. Such applications depend on classifying the situation across a region of interest, which can be depicted as a spatial "heatmap". Annotating unstructured data using crowdsourcing or automated classifiers produces individual classifications at sparse locations that typically contain many errors. We propose a novel Bayesian approach that models the relevance, error rates and bias of each information source, enabling us to learn a spatial Gaussian Process classifier by aggregating data from multiple sources with varying reliability and relevance. Our method does not require gold-labelled data and can make predictions at any location in an area of interest given only sparse observations. We show empirically that our approach can handle noisy and biased data sources, and that simultaneously inferring reliability and transferring information between neighbouring reports leads to more accurate predictions. We demonstrate our method on two real-world problems from disaster response, showing how our approach reduces the amount of crowdsourced data required and can be used to generate valuable heatmap visualisations from SMS messages and satellite images.
