description: In solid materials, nontrivial topological states, electron correlations, and magnetism are central ingredients for realizing quantum properties, including unconventional superconductivity, charge and spin density waves, and quantum spin liquids. The Kagome lattice, made up of connected triangles and hexagons, can host these three ingredients simultaneously and has proven to be a fertile platform for studying diverse quantum phenomena including those stemming from the interplay of these ingredients. In this review, we introduce the fundamental properties of the Kagome lattice as well as discuss the complex observed phenomena seen in several emergent material systems such as the intertwining of charge order and superconductivity in some Kagome metals, modulation of magnetism and topology in some Kagome magnets, and symmetry breaking with Mott physics in the breathing Kagome insulators. We also highlight many open questions in the field as well as future research directions of Kagome systems.

description: Photons have proven to be excellent carriers of quantum information, and play essential roles in numerous quantum information processing (QIP) applications. In particular, heralded single- photon sources via spontaneous parametric-down conversion (SPDC) have been a key technology for demonstrating small-scale QIP, yet their low generation efficiency is a critical limitation for further scaling up optical QIP technology. In order to efficiently overcome the probabilistic nature of SPDC, here we demonstrate time multiplexing for up to 30 time slots of a periodically pumped heralded single-photon source, using a switchable low-loss optical storage cavity. We observe a maximum single-photon probability of 38.6% in periodic output time windows, corresponding to 6 times enhancement over a non-multiplexed source, but with no increase in the contribution of unwanted multi-photon events. Combining this time-multiplexing technique with a heralded source producing pure single-photon states should enable larger scale optical QIP systems than ever realized.
Why Sylvester? Blackness and the Child Subject in Robert Henri's Sylvester Portraits

description: Robert Henri, an American painter active from the 1880s until 1929, is known for his philosophy on art and life, for his teaching career and famous students, and for his large body of portraiture. Scholars have examined various aspects of his career and painting: his work in relation to the Ashcan School, his Irish portraiture, and his ethnic minority portraiture, among other topics. This thesis focuses in on three of his mid-career portraits that feature a young, African-American newsboy named Sylvester Cunningham Smith. During a summer spent in La Jolla, California, Henri painted Sylvester Smiling (Fig. 1), Negro Boy (Sylvester) (Fig. 2), and The Failure of Sylvester (Fig. 3).
These three portraits of young Sylvester Cunningham Smith draw together multiple strands of meaning, both art-historical and cultural. The Sylvester paintings raise questions about the child in art, black subjects and the “other” in art, as well as Henri’s own motivations and ideas. All of these forces situate these portraits in a nexus of different meanings. At the core, however, these images are portraits of a child. Henri, seemingly fixated on children, painted hundreds of such images. What was the attraction for him? What can these particular portraits from one hundred years ago of Sylvester posing, laughing, or his “failure” – sleeping – tell us about art and society in 1914? This paper will follow inductive lines of reasoning drawn from the Sylvester portraits and Henri’s life to make arguments regarding the context and subtext of the images.

description: We construct models of dark matter with suppressed spin-independent scattering cross section utilizing the existing simplified model framework. Even simple combinations of simplified models can exhibit interference effects that cause the tree level contribution to the scattering cross section to vanish, thus demonstrating that direct detection limits on simplified models are not robust when embedded in a more complicated and realistic framework. In general for fermionic WIMP masses >10 GeV direct detection limits on the spin-independent scattering cross section are much stronger than those coming from the LHC. However these model combinations, which we call less-simplified models, represent situations where LHC searches become more competitive than direct detection experiments even for moderate dark matter mass. We show that a complementary use of several searches at the LHC can strongly constrain the direct detection blind spots by setting limits on the coupling constants and mediators' mass. We derive the strongest limits for combinations of vector + scalar, vector + "squark", and "squark" + scalar mediator, and present the corresponding projections for the LHC 14 TeV for a number of searches: mono-jet, jets + missing energy, and searches for heavy vector resonances.

description: In this paper, we present a new geometric approach for sensitivity analysis in linear programming that is computationally practical for a decision-maker to study the behavior of the optimal solution of the linear programming problem under changes in program data. First, we fix the feasible domain (fix the linear constraints). Then, we geometrically formulate a linear programming problem. Next, we give a new equivalent geometric formulation of the sensitivity analysis problem using notions of affine geometry. We write the coefficient vector of the objective function in polar coordinates and we determine all the angles for which the solution remains unchanged. Finally, the approach is presented in detail and illustrated with a numerical example.

description: This paper introduces first order Sobolev spaces on certain rectifiable varifolds. These complete locally convex spaces are contained in the generally nonlinear class of generalised weakly differentiable functions and share key functional analytic properties with their Euclidean counterparts. Assuming the varifold to satisfy a uniform lower density bound and a dimensionally critical summability condition on its mean curvature, the following statements hold. Firstly, continuous and compact embeddings of Sobolev spaces into Lebesgue spaces and spaces of continuous functions are available. Secondly, the geodesic distance associated to the varifold is a continuous, not necessarily Hölder continuous Sobolev function with bounded derivative. Thirdly, if the varifold additionally has bounded mean curvature and finite measure, the present Sobolev spaces are isomorphic to those previously available for finite Radon measures yielding many new results for those classes as well. Suitable versions of the embedding results obtained for Sobolev functions hold in the larger class of generalised weakly differentiable functions.

History-writing as a "Bulwark against the Passage of Time:" The Middle Byzantine World through the Eyes of Michael Psellos, Anna Komnene, and John Kinnamos
Creators: name: Hensley, Michael
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: This thesis will focus upon the narratives of three Middle Byzantine historians, Michael Psellos, Anna Komnene, and John Kinnamos. In a modern context, the word ‘historian’ conjures up the idea of objectivity, and that their main goal in writing histories is reaching a sort of ‘objective truth,’ while using multiple sources with peer-review to reach factual conclusions. While a similar description of the Byzantine historian and their sources may be accurate to an extent, this association also implies that—like modern, objective historians—Byzantine historians were concerned with their narratives being factual and as unbiased as possible. Yet, the concern of remaining unbiased in writing history is relatively new, and this sort of expectation about history writing inhibits our understanding of Middle Byzantine histories. The desire to thoroughly equate Middle Byzantine histories with modern ones can disorient the reader, and diminish our understanding of the literary sophistication of the Middle Byzantine histories. This thesis will argue that unlike the modern historian, who may claim a level of ‘objectivity’ in their work, medieval writers, especially Middle Byzantine ones, made no such concessions, viewing history-writing as a political discourse that could garner favor for themselves in the eyes of other elites or the emperor. Furthermore, these historians used whatever sources or ideas that were at their disposal in order to construct their arguments, whether their particular sources were their status as an eyewitness, imperial documents, rumors, or even references from classical literature, which added literary sophistication to their histories. For example, Anna Komnene’s choice of title for her father’s biography, Alexiad, bears a close resemblance to the epic poem, the Iliad, which invokes a sense that Anna meant to link her history to an older literary tradition. The other narratives studied in this thesis also make explicit references to classical literature. By analyzing Middle Byzantine histories as living, literary texts not only offers insights into the texts themselves, but also allows for greater insight into what Byzantine intellectuals thought about imperial rule and power, and how they formulated these ideas in their respective histories.
High-order accurate well-balanced energy stable adaptive moving mesh finite difference schemes for the shallow water equations with non-flat bottom topography

description: This paper proposes high-order accurate well-balanced (WB) energy stable (ES) adaptive moving mesh finite difference schemes for the shallow water equations (SWEs) with non-flat bottom topography. To enable the construction of the ES schemes on moving meshes, a reformulation of the SWEs is introduced, with the bottom topography as an additional conservative variable that evolves in time. The corresponding energy inequality is derived based on a modified energy function, then the reformulated SWEs and energy inequality are transformed into curvilinear coordinates. A two-point energy conservative (EC) flux is constructed, and high-order EC schemes based on such a flux are proved to be WB that they preserve the lake at rest. Then high-order ES schemes are derived by adding suitable dissipation terms to the EC schemes, which are newly designed to maintain the WB and ES properties simultaneously. The adaptive moving mesh strategy is performed by iteratively solving the Euler-Lagrangian equations of a mesh adaptation functional. The fully-discrete schemes are obtained by using the explicit strong-stability preserving third-order Runge-Kutta method. Several numerical tests are conducted to validate the accuracy, WB and ES properties, shock-capturing ability, and high efficiency of the schemes.

"In helle is noon ordre of rule": Order and Chaos in The Knight's Tale
Creators: name: Fry, Chandler Thomas
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: Medieval man, as C.S. Lewis reminds us, “was not a dreamer nor a wanderer,” but “an
organizer, a codifier, a builder of systems”. He believed not in chaos or randomness, but in universal order. “God hath creat alle thynges,” Chaucer’s Parson says in his tale, “in right ordre, and no thyng withouten ordre, but alle thynges been ordeyned and nombred” (X.218). One need not look further than the Ptolemaic model of the universe to get a sense of medieval man’s conception of the universe. This geocentric model is a complex array of perfect spheres, each one charting the orbit of a planet around the Earth. Primum Mobile—“first moved”—is the outermost sphere in the model, setting everything in motion. Ptolemy no doubt associated Primum Mobile with pagan gods. Medieval man thought of God. When we read, therefore, of the Black Death, and of the limited accounts of it in Froissart and Chaucer, we need not be surprised that medieval man accepted the plague as divine punishment. God set the universe in motion; everything was as He ordered it. Yet order did not persist in the medieval world, especially during Chaucer’s lifetime. As Marion Turner writes: “[t]he years in which Chaucer produced the bulk of his opus were years of extraordinary upheaval in the country as a whole, and in London in particular”. Chaucer, then, was situated on a societal divide: “on the divide between a world conceived in terms of a stable and God-given feudal hierarchy, and a society disrupted and energized” (Cooper, 6). The Canterbury Tales, I believe, documents this divide: it articulates the societal anxiety of an unordered world while simultaneously denying the possibility of social order and harmony. We see this, for example, in Harry Bailey’s protestation of the Miller’s telling a tale and upsetting the
hierarchical order. We also see it in the tales of the Man of Law, Clerk, Physician, Parson, and Knight. This essay focuses on the Knight and his tale.

Linear magnetoconductivity in an intrinsic topological Weyl semimetal

description: Searching for the signature of the violation of chiral charge conservation in solids has inspired a growing passion on the magneto-transport in topological semimetals. One of the open questions is how the conductivity depends on magnetic fields in a semimetal phase when the Fermi energy crosses the Weyl nodes. Here, we study both the longitudinal and transverse magnetoconductivity of a topological Weyl semimetal near the Weyl nodes with the help of a two-node model that includes all the topological semimetal properties. In the semimetal phase, the Fermi energy crosses only the 0th Landau bands in magnetic fields. For a finite potential range of impurities, it is found that both the longitudinal and transverse magnetoconductivity are positive and linear at the Weyl nodes, leading to an anisotropic and negative magnetoresistivity. The longitudinal magnetoconductivity depends on the potential range of impurities. The longitudinal conductivity remains finite at zero field, even though the density of states vanishes at the Weyl nodes. This work establishes a relation between the linear magnetoconductivity and the intrinsic topological Weyl semimetal phase.

Crossover from Boltzmann to Wigner thermal transport in thermoelectric skutterudites

description: Skutterudites are crystals with a cage-like structure that can be augmented with filler atoms ("rattlers"), usually leading to a reduction in thermal conductivity that can be exploited for thermoelectric applications. Here, we leverage the recently introduced Wigner formulation of thermal transport to elucidate the microscopic physics underlying heat conduction in skutterudites, showing that filler atoms can drive a crossover from the Boltzmann to the Wigner regimes of thermal transport, i.e., from particle-like conduction to wave-like tunnelling. At temperatures where the thermoelectric efficiency of skutterudites is largest, wave-like tunneling can become comparable to particle-like propagation. We define a Boltzmann deviation descriptor able to differentiate the two regimes and relate the competition between the two mechanisms to the materials' chemistry, providing a design strategy to select rattlers and identify optimal compositions for thermoelectric applications.

description: Given that energy scales associated with crystal field splitting, spin orbit coupling and coulomb correlations in iridates are comparable, hence leading to exotic properties, we investigate the physical properties of orthorhombic SrIrO3 using density functional theory. Our calculations, however, show that SrIrO 3 is a bad metal with no long range magnetic ordering, unlike its sister compounds Sr2IrO4 and Sr3Ir2O7. Moreover, despite having large band width, it appears conclusive that the larger resistivity in SrIrO 3 is due to spin orbit interactions. Besides, the effects of electron-electron correlations on its electronic structure and magnetic properties are also discussed.

description: We study the entropy production in a macroscopic nonequilibrium system that undergoes an order-disorder phase transition. Entropy production is a characteristic feature of nonequilibrium dynamics with broken detailed balance. It is found that the entropy production rate per particle vanishes in the disordered phase and becomes positive in the ordered phase following critical scaling laws. We derive the scaling relations for associated critical exponents. Our study reveals that a nonequilibrium ordered state is sustained at the expense of macroscopic time-reversal symmetry breaking with an extensive entropy production while a disordered state costs only a subextensive entropy production.

description: Cosmic Dawn (CD) and Epoch of Reionization (EoR) are epochs of the Universe which host invaluable information about the cosmology and astrophysics of X-ray heating and hydrogen reionization. Radio interferometric observations of the 21-cm line at high redshifts have the potential to revolutionize our understanding of the universe during this time. However, modeling the evolution of these epochs is particularly challenging due to the complex interplay of many physical processes. This makes it difficult to perform the conventional statistical analysis using the likelihood-based Markov-Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods, which scales poorly with the dimensionality of the parameter space. In this paper, we show how the Simulation-Based Inference (SBI) through Marginal Neural Ratio Estimation (MNRE) provides a step towards evading these issues. We use 21cmFAST to model the 21-cm power spectrum during CD-EoR with a six-dimensional parameter space. With the expected thermal noise from the Square Kilometre Array (SKA), we are able to accurately recover the posterior distribution for the parameters of our model at a significantly lower computational cost than the conventional likelihood-based methods. We further show how the same training dataset can be utilized to investigate the sensitivity of the model parameters over different redshifts. Our results support that such efficient and scalable inference techniques enable us to significantly extend the modeling complexity beyond what is currently achievable with conventional MCMC methods.

description: In this paper we consider a class of (2+1)D schematic models with four-fermion interactions that are effectively used in studying condensed-matter systems with planar crystal structure, and especially graphene. Symmetry breaking in these models occurs due to a possible appearance of condensates. Special attention is paid to the symmetry properties of the appearing condensates in the framework of discrete chiral and $\mathcal C$, $\mathcal P$ and $\mathcal T$ transformations. Moreover, boundary conditions corresponding to carbon nanotubes are considered and their relations with the effect of an applied external magnetic field are studied. To this end we calculated the effective potential for the nanotube model including effects of finite temperature, density and an external magnetic field. As an illustration we made numerical calculations of the chiral symmetry properties in a simpler Gross--Neveu model with only one condensate taken into account. We also investigated the phase structure of the nanotube model under the influence of the Aharonov--Bohm effect and demonstrated that there is a nontrivial relation between the magnitude of the Aharonov--Bohm phase, compactification of the spatial dimension and thermal restoration of the originally broken chiral symmetry.

description: Die Ausdifferenzierung christlich-feministischer Theologien wird in diesem Aufsatz aus religions- und wissenssoziologischer Perspektive betrachtet. Feministische Theologie wird dazu als eigenständige Wissensfigur innerhalb des theologisch gebündelten Wissensvorrats der Religion eingeführt. Solchermaßen zielt feministische Theologie auf die Rekonstruktion der symbolischen Sinnwelt christlicher Religion und der hierin verankerten Wissensformen in ihrer Gesamtheit, also auf die Glaubenspraxis (Ortho-Praxie), die Glaubenslehre (Ortho-Doxie) und auf deren wissenschaftliche Reflexion in der Theologie. Es wird am Beispiel des Protestantismus diskutiert, vor welchem Hintergrund sich feministische Theologie historisch zu einem eigenständigen Reflexionshorizont entwickelt hat und inwiefern sie dabei als Modus theologischer Selbstreflexion im Verhältnis zum institutionalisierten Kern christlicher Theologie an Bedeutung gewonnen hat.
description: The social differentiation of feminist theology will be examined from a sociological point of view, namely from the sociology of religion and the sociology of knowledge. Thereby feminist theology will be introduced as distinct knowledge figure within the theologically based religious reservoir of knowledge. According to this conceptual classification, feminist theology aims at the reconstruction of religion’s symbolic horizon of meaning at large, including all its forms of knowledge, namely: the practice of belief (orthopraxy), and the theological doctrines (orthodoxy) and their scientific reflection within theology. The article is discussed in terms of Protestantism, against the background of which feminist theology has historically developed as a distinguished horizon of reflection, and in terms of how far it has gained significance with regard to the institutionalised kernel of Christian theology.
Public Life and Transit in the American South

description: The built form of cities in the American South has largely been defined and determined by the automobile. Achieving greater environmental sustainability, transit ridership, and social justice has thus often been a challenge in these cities. Two Southern cities: Charlotte, North Carolina and Atlanta, Georgia, introduced rail transit infrastructure after their built environments began to prioritize automobile movement over other transportation concerns. This research seeks to understand the daily human experience of transit station users and their relationship to their surroundings, and answers to what extent station areas are host to a rich and vibrant public life, as defined by the quality and quantity of optional and social activities taking place there. I found that the quality of public life is largely impaired in all four transit station areas I studied, due to a scarcity of overlapping activities in space and time, lack of eyes on the street, and plentiful, free parking.

description: Dispersal is a key process in ecology and evolutionary biology, as it shapes biodiversity patterns over space and time. Mounting evidence is showing that attitude to disperse is unevenly distributed among individuals within animal populations, and that individual personality can have pivotal roles in the shaping of this attitude. Here, we contribute to the study of the genetic underpinnings of dispersal-related behavioral variation by assembling and annotating the first de novo transcriptome of the head tissues of Salamandra salamandra. Although dispersal occurs mostly during the post-metamorphic terrestrial life stage in this species, variation in dispersal-related personality traits is already evident at the aquatic larval stage, making it an excellent candidate species for studies of carry-over effects. We employed a structured pipeline to de-novo assemble and annotate transcripts from RNA-Seq in a set of individuals representative of distinct behavioral profiles. We obtained 1,153,432,918 reads, which were successfully de novo assembled and annotated. The high-quality assembly was confirmed by comparing BUSCO, DETONATE and TransRate with the S. salamandra dataset. By aligning the contigs against the de novo transcriptome we obtained a percentage of mapping higher than 94%. The homology annotation performed with DIAMOND led to 153,048 (blastx) and 95,942 (blastp) shared contigs, annotated on NCBI nr, Swiss-Prot and TrEMBL. The domain and site protein prediction made with InterProScan led to 9850 GO-annotated contigs. This de-novo transcriptome represents reliable reference for whole transcriptome and proteome studies of other amphibians, for designing primers to clone specific genes or monitor their expression, and for analyzing comparative gene expression profiles between alternative behavioral types.

description: It has long been conjectured that hypotheses spaces suitable for data that is compositional in nature, such as text or images, may be more efficiently represented with deep hierarchical networks than with shallow ones. Despite the vast empirical evidence supporting this belief, theoretical justifications to date are limited. In particular, they do not account for the locality, sharing and pooling constructs of convolutional networks, the most successful deep learning architecture to date. In this work we derive a deep network architecture based on arithmetic circuits that inherently employs locality, sharing and pooling. An equivalence between the networks and hierarchical tensor factorizations is established. We show that a shallow network corresponds to CP (rank-1) decomposition, whereas a deep network corresponds to Hierarchical Tucker decomposition. Using tools from measure theory and matrix algebra, we prove that besides a negligible set, all functions that can be implemented by a deep network of polynomial size, require exponential size in order to be realized (or even approximated) by a shallow network. Since log-space computation transforms our networks into SimNets, the result applies directly to a deep learning architecture demonstrating promising empirical performance. The construction and theory developed in this paper shed new light on various practices and ideas employed by the deep learning community.
Helping the Helpers: Reduction in Help-Seeking Behavior by Caregivers
Creators: name: Rennie, Alexander
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: Caregivers, such as parents and doctors, often spend hours on arduous tasks for little reward. Yet, despite this stress, it seems like many people (including the caregivers themselves) forget that caregivers need help. Using the framework of dyadic morality, this paper examines whether adopting a permanent caregiving role will transform a person into a moral agent, making them seem and feel stronger, more resilient, and less in need of help, even though they are in highly stressful roles. Three studies were performed to assess help-seeking behavior in caregivers. Study 1 examined participant’s attitudes towards caregivers as compared to control groups. Studies 2 and 3 examined identification as a caregiver and feelings of negative affect, resilience, and openness to help. We found that people hold paradoxical feelings towards caregivers, as they recognize caregivers’ need for help, but also find them more resilient to pain. Studies also supported the idea that caregiving gives an empowering effect. Finally, results showed that perhaps the caregiving role decreases one’s openness to help, yet more studies are needed to clarify these results.

description: Background: The FAIRVASC project seeks to federate the data of seven ANCA-associated vasculitis registries across Europe using semantic web technology. A high standard of data quality (DQ) is required for the types of data analysis planned for the FAIRVASC architecture. We sought to design and implement a DQ assessment of the FAIRVASC registries. Methods: A Data Quality Group was established within the consortium. This group consisted of individuals from a variety of specialist backgrounds including clinician scientists, health informaticians, statisticians and computer scientists. DQ domains selected for evaluation were Uniqueness, Consistency, Completeness and Correctness. These dimensions were prioritised by investigator consensus from a pool of nine candidate dimensions drawn from the literature and assessed using statistical methods and tools developed through prior published research. A DQ worksheet was designed using an iterative approach. A representative at each registry used the worksheet to evaluate their local registry DQ. Results: Registry participants identification numbers were 100% unique across all seven registries. Consistency of data class was 100% across all measured variables. Consistency on logic testing was 99.9% across all registries. Completeness was 94.3% across all registries. Correctness was still under assessment at the time of this report. Where missing data were present due to an assessed variable not being present in a registry dataset, these were removed prior to analysis. Percentages represent the mean of summary percentages reported for each registry as a whole and were not adjusted for registry size. Conclusions: This analysis demonstrated a high level of DQ across the initial seven FAIRVASC registries. The registry data were therefore deemed highly suited to FAIRVASC objectives including epidemiological analysis of European data and cluster analysis to determine novel disease phenotypes. Future work will include a DQ improvement process with multiple potential objectives such removal of duplicates, selection of highest quality records, imputation of missing values, re-entry of data and increased specificity of registry metadata.

description: In this paper, we propose a multi-RREH (Remote Renewable Energy Hub) based optimization framework. This framework allows a valorization of CO2 using carbon capture technologies. This valorization is grounded on the idea that CO2 gathered from the atmosphere or post combustion can be combined with hydrogen to produce synthetic methane. The hydrogen is obtained from water electrolysis using renewable energy (RE). Such renewable energy is generated in RREHs, which are locations where RE is cheap and abundant (e.g., solar PV in the Sahara Desert, or wind in Greenland). We instantiate our framework on a case study focusing on Belgium and 2 RREHs, and we conduct a techno-economic analysis. This analysis highlights the key role played by the cost of the two main carbon capture technologies: Post Combustion Carbon Capture (PCCC) and Direct Air Capture (DAC). In addition, we use our framework to derive a carbon price threshold above which carbon capture technologies may start playing a pivotal role in the decarbonation process of our industries. For example, this price threshold may give relevant information for calibrating the EU Emission Trading System so as to trigger the emergence of the multi-RREH.

description: The Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) team subtracted template-based foreground models to produce foreground-reduced maps, and masked point sources and uncertain sky regions directly; however, whether foreground residuals exist in the WMAP foreground-reduced maps is still an open question. Here, we use Pearson correlation coefficient (PCC) analysis with AS-$γ$ TeV cosmic ray (CR) data to probe possible foreground residuals in the WMAP nine-year data. The correlation results between the CR and foreground-contained maps (WMAP foreground-unreduced maps, WMAP template-based and MEM foreground models) suggest that: (1) CRs can trace foregrounds in the WMAP data; (2) at least some TeV CRs originate from the Milky Way; (3) foregrounds may be related to the existence of CR anisotropy (loss-cone and tail-in structures); (4) there exist differences among different types of foregrounds in the declination range of $< 15^{\circ}$. Then, we generate 10,000 mock CMB sky maps to describe the cosmic variance, which is used to measure the effect of the fluctuations of all possible CMB maps to the correlations between CR and CMB maps. Finally, we do correlation analysis between the CR and WMAP foreground-reduced maps, and find that: (1) there are significant anticorrelations; and (2) the WMAP foreground-reduced maps are credible. However, the significant anticorrelations may be accidental, and the higher signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) Planck SMICA map cannot reject the hypothesis of accidental correlations. We therefore can only conclude that the foreground residuals exist with $\sim$ 95\% probability.

description: Dispersal is a key process in ecology and evolutionary biology, as it shapes biodiversity patterns over space and time. Mounting evidence is showing that attitude to disperse is unevenly distributed among individuals within animal populations, and that individual personality can have pivotal roles in the shaping of this attitude. Here, we contribute to the study of the genetic underpinnings of dispersal-related behavioral variation by assembling and annotating the first de novo transcriptome of the head tissues of Salamandra salamandra. Although dispersal occurs mostly during the post-metamorphic terrestrial life stage in this species, variation in dispersal-related personality traits is already evident at the aquatic larval stage, making it an excellent candidate species for studies of carry-over effects. We employed a structured pipeline to de-novo assemble and annotate transcripts from RNA-Seq in a set of individuals representative of distinct behavioral profiles. We obtained 1,153,432,918 reads, which were successfully de novo assembled and annotated. The high-quality assembly was confirmed by comparing BUSCO, DETONATE and TransRate with the S. salamandra dataset. By aligning the contigs against the de novo transcriptome we obtained a percentage of mapping higher than 94%. The homology annotation performed with DIAMOND led to 153,048 (blastx) and 95,942 (blastp) shared contigs, annotated on NCBI nr, Swiss-Prot and TrEMBL. The domain and site protein prediction made with InterProScan led to 9850 GO-annotated contigs. This de-novo transcriptome represents reliable reference for whole transcriptome and proteome studies of other amphibians, for designing primers to clone specific genes or monitor their expression, and for analyzing comparative gene expression profiles between alternative behavioral types.

description: We study the probability distribution function of the long-time values of observables being time-evolved by Hamiltonians modeling clean and disordered one-dimensional chains of many spin-1/2 particles. In particular, we analyze the return probability and its version for a completely extended initial state, the so-called spectral form factor. We complement our analysis with the spin autocorrelation and connected spin-spin correlation functions, both of interest in experiments with quantum simulators. We show that the distribution function has a universal shape provided the central limit theorem holds. Explicitly, the shape is exponential for the return probability and spectral form factor, meanwhile it is Gaussian for the few-body observables. We also discuss implications over the so-called many-body localization. Remarkably, our approach requires only a single sample of the dynamics and small system sizes, which could be quite advantageous when dealing specially with disordered systems.

description: In this paper, we propose compactly supported radial basis functions for solving some well- known classes of astrophysics problems categorized as non-linear singular initial ordinary dif- ferential equations on a semi-infinite domain. To increase the convergence rate and to decrease the collocation points, we use the compactly supported radial basis function through the integral operations. Afterwards, some special cases of the equation are presented as test examples to show the reliability of the method. Then we compare the results of this work with some results and show that the new method is efficient and applicable
