description: By using the supernovae type Ia data we study influence of the anisotropy (although low) on the evolution of the universe and compare $Λ$CDM model with 6 representative parametrizations of the recent Hubble expansion history $H(z)$. To compare these models we use the the maximum likelihood method for find that the best fit dynamical $ω(z)$ and $q(z)$ obtained from the SNIa dataset. In particular we find the best fit value of $Λ$CDM model $(Ω_{σ_0}= 0.013$, $χ^2_{min}=197.56)$. The analysis shows that by considering the anisotropy, it leads to more best fit parameters in all models (except of SCDM) with SNIa data. We also use two statistical tests such as the usual $χ^2_{min}/dof$ and p-test to compare different dark energy models. According to both statistical tests and considering anisotropy, the linear parametrization model that is providing the best fit to $Λ$CDM model.

description: Migration und soziale Probleme als Folge von Wetterextremen: Zu den Folgen von Wetterextremen gehören die Zerstörung der Infrastruktur, die Gefährdung menschlicher Lebensbedingungen und die Vertreibung der betroffenen Bevölkerung. Während Stürme, Überschwemmungen und Erdrutsche meist lokal und in kurzen Zeiträumen erfolgen, wirken Trockenheit und Wassermangel eher regional und über längere Zeiträume. Die Auswirkungen können die Governance- und Anpassungskapazitäten betroffener Gesellschaften übertreffen, besonders in fragilen Staaten, wo Wetterextreme als Risikoverstärker wirken und die soziale und politische Stabilität untergraben können. Um Vertreibungen als Folge von Wetterextremen zu bewältigen, sind institutionelle Mechanismen und rechtlichen Regelungen zu schaffen, von der Vermeidung von Fluchtursachen über den humanitären Schutz betroffener Menschen bis zur internationalen Zusammenarbeit von Staaten und Zivilgesellschaften. Migration and social problems as a result of weather extremes: The consequences of weather extremes include the destruction of infrastructures, threats to human living conditions and the displacement of the affected population. While storms, floods and landslides usually occur locally and in short periods of time, droughts and water scarcity have regional implications over longer periods of time. The impacts can outweigh the governance and adaptive capacities of affected societies, especially in fragile states where weather extremes can act as a risk multipliers and undermine social and political stability. In order to manage migration as a result of extreme weather, institutional mechanisms and legal regulations are required, from avoiding the main causes over the humanitarian protection of affected people to international cooperation between states and civil societies.

description: Kinetic energies of light fragments A <= 10 from the decay of target spectators in 197Au 197Au collisions at 1000 MeV per nucleon have been measured with high-resolution telescopes at backward angles. Except for protons and apart from the observed evaporation components, the kinetic-energy spectra exhibit slope temperatures of about 17 MeV, independent of the particle species, but not corresponding to the thermal or chemical degrees of freedom at breakup. It is suggested that these slope temperatures may reflect the intrinsic Fermi motion and thus the bulk density of the spectator system at the instant of becoming unstable.

description: In this technical report we describe our efforts towards a field deployable Sense and Avoid system for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) which uses passive vision as the main sensing modality. The ability of UAVs to operate safely in the presence of other air traffic is critical towards acceptance of UAVs in civilian and military airspace. This will allow UAVs to be used to their fullest potential. In order to operate freely in the presence of manned airborne traffic UAVs must demonstrate a Sense and Avoid capability that meets or exceeds that of an equivalent human pilot. Furthermore this capability should be achieved without the use of cooperative communication with other aircraft or prior knowledge of other aircrafts’ flight plans. We describe our collision avoidance algorithm and software-in-theloop testing, vision based detection method with a 98% detection rate out to a range of 4.5 miles which exceeds the FAA regulation of 3 statute miles. A field deployable Sense and Avoid system must be able to operate with consistent performance across a variety of atmospheric conditions including cloud, fog and haze of various degrees that can occur under conditions commonly described as Visual Meteorological Conditions (VMC). In order to model the effect of all these conditions on the performance of the detection system we developed an atmospheric image formation modelling system that takes as inputs weather conditions and can predict the appearance of the image of an aircraft of given geometry at various ranges. This predictive model also determines the minimum resolution needed to guarantee the required detection performance. Passive vision provides the bearing to the intruding aircraft. Range estimation is only possible by executing additional maneuvers which causes significant mission interference. We investigate the feasibilty of a flash lidar system that can be used as a confirming sensor to further reduce the false positive rate and provide range of the intruding aircraft.
The Relative Distance between the Clusters of Galaxies A2634 and Coma

description: The Tully-Fisher and Fundamental Plane relations are used to obtain two independent estimates of the relative distance between the clusters A2634 and Coma. Previously published studies of A2634 showed a large discrepancy between the distance estimates obtained with the TF and the Dn-sigma relations, questioning the reliability of redshift-independent distances obtained using these relations. Because of the importance of this issue, we have obtained new distance estimates for A2634, based on much larger samples than previously used, and selected according to rigorous membership criteria. New I band CCD photometry for 175 galaxies, new 21 cm observations of 11 galaxies, and new velocity dispersion measurements for 62 galaxies are used together with previously published data in building these samples. After the appropriate corrections for sample incompleteness have been taken into account, we find the TF and FP distance estimates to be in good agreement, both indicating that A2634 has a negligibly small peculiar velocity with respect to the Cosmic Microwave Background reference frame. Because of the high accuracy with which the two distance estimates have been obtained, their agreement strongly supports the universality of the TF and FP relations, and therefore their reliability for the estimate of redshift-independent distances.

description: Images have been obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope WFPC2 camera of Andromeda I, a dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy that lies in the outer halo of M31. The resulting color-magnitude diagrams reveal for the first time the morphology of the horizontal branch in this system. We find that, in a similar fashion to many of the galactic dSph companions, the horizontal branch (HB) of And~I is predominantly red. Combined with the metal abundance of this dSph, this red HB morphology indicates that And I can be classified as a ``second parameter'' system in the outer halo of M31. This result then supports the hypothesis that the outer halo of M31 formed in the same extended chaotic manner as is postulated for the outer halo of the Galaxy.

description: Discrete Morse theory has emerged as a powerful tool for a wide range of problems, including the computation of (persistent) homology. In this context, discrete Morse theory is used to reduce the problem of computing a topological invariant of an input simplicial complex to computing the same topological invariant of a (significantly smaller) collapsed cell or chain complex. Consequently, devising methods for obtaining gradient vector fields on complexes to reduce the size of the problem instance has become an emerging theme over the last decade. While computing the optimal gradient vector field on a simplicial complex is NP-hard, several heuristics have been observed to compute near-optimal gradient vector fields on a wide variety of datasets. Understanding the theoretical limits of these strategies is therefore a fundamental problem in computational topology. In this paper, we consider the approximability of maximization and minimization variants of the Morse matching problem, posed as open problems by Joswig and Pfetsch. We establish hardness results for Max-Morse matching and Min-Morse matching. In particular, we show that, for a simplicial complex with n simplices and dimension $d \leq 3$, it is NP-hard to approximate Min-Morse matching within a factor of $O(n^{1-ε})$, for any $ε> 0$. Moreover, using an L-reduction from Degree 3 Max-Acyclic Subgraph to Max-Morse matching, we show that it is both NP-hard and UGC-hard to approximate Max-Morse matching for simplicial complexes of dimension $d \leq 2$ within certain explicit constant factors.

description: The beta-delayed alpha spectrum from the decay of 8B has been measured with a setup that minimized systematic uncertainties that affected previous measurements. Consequently the deduced neutrino spectrum presents much smaller uncertainties than the previous recommendation. The 8B neutrino spectrum is found to be harder than previously recommended with about (10-20)% more neutrinos at energies between 12-14 MeV. The efficiencies of the 37Cl, 71Ga, 40Ar, and SuperKamiokande detectors are respectively, 3.6%, 1.4%, 5.7% and 1.8% larger than previously thought.

description: We use a combination of laser data, measurements of joint angles and torques, and stall information to improve localization on a household robotic platform. Our system executes trajectories to collide with its environment and performs probabilistic updates on a distribution of possible robot positions, ordinarily provided by a laser range finder. We find encouraging results both in simulations and in a real-world kitchen environment. Our analysis also suggests further steps in localization through proprioception.

description: Inhibition of acid sphingomyelinase (ASM), a lysosomal enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of sphingomyelin into ceramide and phosphorylcholine, may serve as an investigational tool or a therapeutic intervention to control many diseases. Specific ASM inhibitors are currently not sufficiently characterized. Here, we found that 1-aminodecylidene bis-phosphonic acid (ARC39) specifically and efficiently (>90%) inhibits both lysosomal and secretory ASM in vitro. Results from investigating sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 1 (SMPD1/Smpd1) mRNA and ASM protein levels suggested that ARC39 directly inhibits ASM's catalytic activity in cultured cells, a mechanism that differs from that of functional inhibitors of ASM. We further provide evidence that ARC39 dose- and time-dependently inhibits lysosomal ASM in intact cells, and we show that ARC39 also reduces platelet- and ASM-promoted adhesion of tumor cells. The observed toxicity of ARC39 is low at concentrations relevant for ASM inhibition in vitro, and it does not strongly alter the lysosomal compartment or induce phospholipidosis in vitro. When applied intraperitoneally in vivo, even subtoxic high doses administered short-term induced sphingomyelin accumulation only locally in the peritoneal lavage without significant accumulation in plasma, liver, spleen, or brain. These findings require further investigation with other possible chemical modifications. In conclusion, our results indicate that ARC39 potently and selectively inhibits ASM in vitro and highlight the need for developing compounds that can reach tissue concentrations sufficient for ASM inhibition in vivo.

We prove the existence of a solution under mild additional assumptions on ${\mathcal E}$. We also show that the solution is unique if $f$ is nonincreasing in $u$.

description: Underutilized crops have the potential to improve food and nutrition security and income of rural farmers. Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranean L.) is a relevant underutilized African crop prevalent and consumed among rural residents in South Africa. This study examined the determinants of the commercialization of Bambara groundnut in the Umbumbulu and Nhlazuka farming districts in the province of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. The study used primary data collected by the InnoFood Africa project from a random selection of 271 and 414 Bambara groundnut farmers in Umbumbulu and Nhlazuka respectively. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Heckman's two-step model. It is recommended that policies should focus on creating the environment to improve the market for Bambara groundnut production.

description: Vision-based prop-free pointing detection is challenging both from an algorithmic and a systems standpoint. From a computer vision perspective, accurately determining where multiple users are pointing is difficult in cluttered environments with dynamic scene content. Standard approaches relying on appearance models or background subtraction to segment users operate poorly in this domain. We propose a method that focuses on motion analysis to detect pointing gestures and robustly estimate the pointing direction. Our algorithm is self-initializing; as the user points, we analyze the observed motion from two cameras and infer rotation centers that best explain the observed motion. From these, we group pixel-level flow into dominant pointing vectors that each originate from a rotation center and merge across views to obtain 3D pointing vectors. However, our proposed algorithm is computationally expensive, posing systems challenges even with current computing infrastructure. We achieve interactive speeds by exploiting coarse-grained parallelization over a cluster of computers. In unconstrained environments, we obtain an average angular precision of 2.7°.

description: Hochgebirgsräume im Umbruch – Prozesse, Forschungsfragen, Beispiele: Klimatische Extremereignisse sind definitionsgemäß Ausnahmeprozesse, deren Häufigkeit und Größe von raum-zeitlich variablen Verteilungscharakteristika und Trends der jeweiligen Klimaelemente (Lufttemperatur, Niederschlag, Wind etc.) abhängen. In Gebirgsräumen lösen solche Ereignisse in der Regel landschaftsspezifische Folgeprozesse aus – bei extremen Niederschlägen z.B. Lawinen, Steinschlag, Hangrutschungen, Seeausbrüche, bei extremen Hitzewellen und Phasen langer Trockenheit das rasante Abschmelzen von Schnee und Eis, Prozesse, die sich auch auf die vorgelagerten Tiefländer auswirken. Ob damit katastrophale Folgen für die Kulturlandschaft verbunden sind, hängt von deren Ausstattung, Organisation und Reaktionsfähigkeit ab. Die Probleme und Schwachstellen klimageschichtlicher Analysen im Gebirgsraum und damit die Vorhersagetauglichkeit der bisherigen Forschungsansätze werden angesprochen, insbesondere die oft unkritische Übertragung von im Tiefland entwickelten Methoden auf das Hochgebirge (z.B. Klimamessungen). Am Beispiel des »Hindukush-Karakoram-Himalaya« (HKH), einem der wichtigsten »Wassertürme der Menschheit«, werden die Probleme konkretisiert und daraus abzuleitende Fragestellungen und Forschungsansätze postuliert. High mountains are changing - processes, research questions, examples: Climate extreme events’ are defined as exceptional processes. They depend on the temporal and spatial distribution characteristics and trends of the climate parameters involved (air temperature, precipitation, wind velocity etc.). In mountain areas extreme climate events are (in the case of heavy precipitation) usually followed by a cascade of gravity steered processes, such as avalanches, rock falls, landslides, outbreaks of lakes. Exceptional heat waves or long lasting droughts might rapidly reduce snow cover and increase ice melting, both processes with consequences on run-off patterns. Whether these events are considered to be catastrophic depend on the structure, organization and flexibility of the ‘human system’ hit by the events. Methodological problems and weaknesses of research approaches linked to the analysis of the status and dynamics of high mountain systems is critically discussed. In many cases, »lowland methodology« (e.g. in climate analysis) is unquestioned transferred to high mountain environments. As an example, background and actual situation of status, dynamics and research approaches are discussed for one of the most important »water towers of mankind«, the »Hindukush-Karakoram-Himalaya« (HKH)
Quantum gravitational corrections from the Wheeler-DeWitt equation for scalar-tensor theories

description: We perform the canonical quantization of a general scalar-tensor theory and derive the first quantum gravitational corrections following from a semi-classical expansion of the Wheeler-DeWitt equation. The non-minimal coupling of the scalar field to gravity induces a derivative coupling between the scalar field and the gravitational degrees of freedom, which prevents a direct application of the expansion scheme. We address this technical difficulty by transforming the theory from the Jordan frame to the Einstein frame. We find that a large non-minimal coupling can have strong effects on the quantum gravitational correction terms. We briefly discuss these effects in the context of the specific model of Higgs inflation.

description: An excitation function of proton rapidity distributions for different centralities is reported from AGS Experiment E917 for Au+Au collisions at 6, 8, and 10.8 GeV/nucleon. The rapidity distributions from peripheral collisions have a valley at midrapidity which smoothly change to distributions that peak at midrapidity for central collisions. The mean rapidity loss increases with increasing beam energy, whereas the fraction of protons consistent with isotropic emission from a thermal source at midrapidity decreases with increasing beam energy.

description: In this paper, we examine the problem of locating a non-adversarial target using multiple robotic searchers. This problem is relevant to many applications in robotics including emergency response and aerial surveillance. Assuming a known environment, this problem becomes one of choosing searcher paths that are most likely to intersect with the path taken by the target. We refer to this as the Multi-robot Efficient Search Path Planning (MESPP) problem. Such path planning problems are NP-hard, and optimal solutions typically scale exponentially in the number of searchers. We present a finite-horizon path enumeration algorithm for solving the MESPP problem that utilizes sequential allocation to achieve linear scalability in the number of searchers. We show that solving the MESPP problem requires the maximization of a nondecreasing, submodular objective function, which directly leads to theoretical guarantees on paths generated by sequential allocation. We also demonstrate how our algorithm can run online to incorporate noisy measurements of the target's position during search. We verify the performance of our algorithm both in simulation and in experiments with a novel radio sensor capable of providing range through walls. Our results show that our linearly scalable MESPP algorithm generates searcher paths competitive with those generated by exponential algorithms.

description: We review the subject of CP violation in $B$ decays in the Standard Model (SM) and beyond the SM. We describe some of the present most promising ways of testing the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) origin of CP violation through a determination of the three angles of the CKM matrix unitarity triangle. Other sources of CP nonconservation violate SM constraints on the unitarity triangle. We show that different models of physics beyond the SM can be distinguished by combining their effects in CP asymmetries and in rare flavor-changing $B$ decays.

On State Observers for Nonlinear Systems: A New Design and a Unifying Framework

description: In this paper we propose a new observer design technique for nonlinear systems. It combines the well-known Kazantzis-Kravaris-Luenberger observer and the recently introduced parameter estimation-based observer, which become special cases of it---extending the realm of applicability of both methods. A second contribution of the paper is the proof that these designs can be recast as particular cases of immersion and invariance observers---providing in this way a unified framework for their analysis and design. Simulation results of a physical system that illustrates the superior performance of the proposed observer compared to other existing observers are presented.

description: We present the first evidence for the direct detection of nickel in the photosphere of the hot DO white dwarf REJ0503$-$289. While this element has been seen previously in the atmospheres of hot H-rich white dwarfs, this is one of the first similar discoveries in a He-rich object. Intriguingly, iron, which is observed to be more abundant than Ni in the hot DA stars, is not detected, the upper limit to its abundance (Fe/He$=10^{-6}$) implying a Fe/Ni ratio a factor 10 lower than seen in the H-rich objects (Ni/He$=10^{-5}$ for REJ0503$-$289). The abundance of nickel and various other elements heavier than He were determined from GHRS spectra. We used two completely independent sets of NLTE model atmospheres which both provide the same results. This not only reduces the possibility of systematic errors in our analysis but is also an important consistency check for both model atmosphere codes. We have also developed a more objective method of determining $T_{\rm eff}$ and log g, from the He lines in the optical spectrum, in the form of a formal fitting of the line profiles to a grid of model spectra, an analogue of the standard procedure utilising the Balmer lines in DA white dwarfs. This gives the assigned uncertainties in $T_{\rm eff}$ and log g a firm statistical basis and allows us to demonstrate that inclusion of elements heavier than H, He and C in the spectral calculations, exclusively considered in most published optical analyses, yields a systematic downward shift in the measured value of $T_{\rm eff}$.

description: For tame arbitrary-length toral, also called positive regular, supercuspidal representations of a simply connected and semisimple $p$-adic group $G$, constructed as per Adler-Yu, we determine which components of their restriction to a maximal compact subgroup are types. We give conditions under which there is a unique such component, and then present a class of examples for which there is not, disproving the strong version of the conjecture of unicity of types on maximal compact open subgroups. We restate the unicity conjecture, and prove it holds for the groups and representations under consideration under a mild condition on depth.

description: Abstract: Most haptic actuators available on the market today can generate only a single modality of stimuli. This ultimately limits the capacity of a kinaesthetic haptic controller to deliver more expressive feedback, requiring a haptic controller to integrate multiple actuators to generate complex haptic stimuli, with a corresponding complexity of construction and control. To address this, we designed a haptic controller to deliver several modalities of kinaesthetic haptic feedback using a single actuator: a flywheel, the orientation of which is controlled by two gimbals capable of rotating over 360 degrees, in combination with a flywheel brake. This enables the controller to generate multiple haptic feedback modalities, such as torque feedback, impact simulation, low-frequency high-amplitude vibrations, inertial effects (the sensation of momentum), and complex haptic output effects such as the experience of vortex-like forces (whirl effects). By combining these diverse haptic effects, the controller enriches the haptic dimension of VR environments. This paper presents the device’s design, implementation, and characterization, and proposes potential applications for future work
Color gradients are responsible for most of the evolution in the mass-size relation

description: Galaxy sizes are a key physical observable, and their growth over cosmic time provides clues to how galaxies evolve. However, the light profiles used to measure galaxy sizes do not directly trace the underlying stellar mass profiles: radial mass-to-light ratio gradients cause half-mass and half-light radii to differ. We use multi-band imaging to measure the half-mass radii of ~7,000 galaxies at 1.0 < z < 2.5 in the CANDELS fields. We find that half-mass radii are generally smaller than half-light radii. Furthermore, the strength of color gradients evolves with redshift. Between z~2.5 and z~1, half-mass radii grow by only ~1/3 the amount that half-light radii do. Color gradients are thus responsible for much of the previously-discovered size growth of quiescent galaxies. Finally, I will discuss recent work that investigates how the half-mass radii of galaxies vary as a function of the galaxy's rest-frame spectral energy distribution shape.
The Structure of Isothermal, Self-gravitating Gas Spheres for Softened Gravity

description: A theory for the structure of isothermal, self-gravitating gas spheres in pressure equilibrium in a softened gravitational field is developed. The one parameter spline softening proposed by Hernquist & Katz (1989) is used. We show that the addition of this extra scale parameter implies that the set of equilibrium solutions constitute a one-parameter family, rather than the one and only one isothermal sphere solution for Newtonian gravity. We demonstrate the perhaps somewhat surprising result that for any finite choice of softening length and temperature, it is possible to deposit an arbitrarily large mass of gas in pressure equilibrium and with a non-singular density distribution inside of r_0 for any r_0 > 0. The theoretical predictions of our models are compared with the properties of the small, massive, quasi-isothermal gas clumps which typically form in numerical Tree-SPH simulations of 'passive' galaxy formation of Milky Way sized galaxies. We find reasonable agreement despite the neglect of rotational support in the models. We comment on whether the hydrodynamical resolution in our numerical simulation of galaxy formation is sufficient, and finally we conclude that one should be cautious, when comparing results of numerical simulations involving gravitational softening and hydrodynamical smoothing, with reality.

description: The fine structure of the isoscalar giant quadrupole resonance in ^{208}Pb, observed in high-resolution (p,p') and (e,e') experiments, is studied using the entropy index method. In a novel way, it enables to determine the number of scales present in the spectra and their magnitude. We find intermediate scales of fluctuations around 1.1 MeV, 460 keV and 125 keV for an excitation energy region 0 - 12 MeV. A comparison with scales extracted from second RPA calculations, which are in good agreement with experiment, shows that they arise from the internal mixing of collective motion with two particle-two hole components of the nuclear wavefunction.
