description: Two-dimensional (2D) heterojunctions display a remarkable potential for application in high performance, low power electro-optical systems. p-n junctions based on vertically stacked heterostructures have shown very promising performance as tunneling transistors, light emitting devices and photodetectors, and as photovoltaic cells . Although complex vertical heterostructures were fabricated via van der Waals stacking of different 2D materials, atomically sharp multi-junctions in lateral heterostructures is a quite challenging task, but a viable route towards the development of commercial applications. Previously reported approaches to obtain single-junction lateral heterostructures of the type MoX2-WX2 (X= S and/or Se), involve either a single-step or a two-step growth process. However, these methods lack the flexibility to control the lateral width of the TMD domain as well as its composition. Here, we report a simple and yet scalable synthesis approach for the fabrication of lateral multi-junction heterostructures based on the combination of different TMD monolayers [MoX2-WX2 (X2 = S2, Se2 or SSe)]. Atomically sharp lateral junctions are sequentially synthesized from solid precursors by changing only the reactive gas environment in the presence of water vapor. This allows to selectively control the water-induced oxidation, volatilization and hence the relative amount of a specific metal oxide vapor, leading to the selective edge-epitaxial growth of either MoX2 or WX2. Spatially dependent photoluminescence and atomic-resolution images confirm the high crystallinity of the monolayers and the seamless lateral connectivity between the different TMD domains. These findings could be extended to other families of 2D materials, and creates the foundation towards the development of complex and atomically thin in-plane super-lattices, devices and integrated circuits.

description: This paper presents an a-posteriori goal-oriented error analysis for a numerical approximation of the steady Boltzmann equation based on a moment-system approximation in velocity dependence and a discontinuous Galerkin finite-element (DGFE) approximation in position dependence. We derive computable error estimates and bounds for general target functionals of solutions of the steady Boltzmann equation based on the DGFE moment approximation. The a-posteriori error estimates and bounds are used to guide a model adaptive algorithm for optimal approximations of the goal functional in question. We present results for one-dimensional heat transfer and shock structure problems where the moment model order is refined locally in space for optimal approximation of the heat flux.

description: The introduction of T parity dramatically improves the consistency of Little Higgs models with precision electroweak data, and renders the lightest T-odd particle (LTP) stable. In the Littlest Higgs model with T parity, the LTP is typically the T-odd heavy photon, which is weakly interacting and can play the role of dark matter. We analyze the relic abundance of the heavy photon, including its coannihilations with other T-odd particles, and map out the regions of the parameter space where it can account for the observed dark matter. We evaluate the prospects for direct and indirect discovery of the heavy photon dark matter. The direct detection rates are quite low and a substantial improvement in experimental sensitivity would be required for observation. A substantial flux of energetic gamma rays is produced in the annihilation of the heavy photons in the galactic halo. This flux can be observed by the GLAST telescope, and, if the distribution of dark matter in the halo is favorable, by ground-based telescope arrays such as VERITAS and HESS.

description: My father was a part-time fireman for Southam fire brigade. He couldn't go in the army due to his role as a fireman and stayed in his job until the 1960s.Southam was a small village, so most firemen were part-time. They had a call-out bell at home. He used to jump on a bicycle and pedal off to the fire. He attended fires and road accidents. He went to the Coventry Blitz for three days with very little break - it was the first time the Germans flew over and across to systematically blitz the place. The whole of Coventry was on fire - they had to try to put it out. Ryton, near Coventry, was part of where they built the ammunition. Father wouldn't talk about it. In the early 1960s, Coventry was turned into a pedestrian area and he said "you're walking on top of so many bodies". The ceremonial helmet was in the home, but the war was never spoken about. Going back brought it back - he seemed upset. People either talked about it or not.Many others in the photo would also have been involved. Mother may have been working in the Ryton Ammunition Factory. She had young children to look after. The contributor thinks they had someone billeted with them – they are not sure. This spare room was used. Possibly known through a brother. She was like most women in the ammunition factory.The helmet, which was uncomfortable, would have been presented when they first started. It was ceremonial initially, but the bumps on the top suggest it was used in fires. It was needed for inspection. Not sure what happened to the rest of the uniform. It was polished twice a year with Brasso and a toothbrush. The helmet is on display in the window.

description: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials examining the effect of inorganic nitrate or nitrite supplementation on cognitive function (CF) and cerebral blood flow (CBF). Two databases (PubMed, Embase) were searched for articles from inception until May 2017. Inclusion criteria were: randomized clinical trials; participants >18 years old; trials comparing a nitrate/nitrite intervention with a control. Thirteen and nine trials were included in the meta-analysis to assess CF and CBF, respectively. Random-effects models were used and the effect size described as standardized mean differences (SMDs). A total of 297 participants (median of 23 per trial) were included for CF; 163 participants (median of 16 per trial) were included for CBF. Nitrate/nitrite supplementation did not influence CF (SMD +0.06, 95% CI: -0.06, 0.18, P = 0.32) or CBF under resting (SMD +0.14, 95% CI: -0.13, 0.41, P = 0.31), or stimulated conditions (SMD + 0.23, 95% CI: -0.11, 0.56, P = 0.19). The meta-regression showed an inverse association between duration of the intervention and CBF (P = 0.02) but no influence of age, BMI or dose (P < 0.05). Nitrate and nitrite supplementation did not modify CBF or CF. Further trials employing larger samples sizes and interventions with longer duration are warranted.
Molecular Clouds as the Origin of the Fermi Gamma-Ray GeV-Excess

description: The so-called "GeV-excess" of the diffuse Galactic gamma-ray emission is studied with a spectral template fit based on energy spectra. The spectral templates can be obtained in a data-driven way from the gamma-ray data, which avoids the use of emissivity models to subtract the standardbackground processes from the data. Instead, one can determine these backgrounds simultaneously with any "signals" in any sky direction, including the Galactic disk and the Galactic center. Using the spectral template fit two hypothesis of the "GeV-excess" were tested: the dark matter (DM) hypothesis assuming the excess is caused by DM annihilation and the molecular cloud (MC) hypothesis assuming the "GeV-excess" is related to a depletion of gamma-rays below 2 GeV, as is directly observed in the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ). Both hypotheses provide acceptable fits, if one considers a limited field-of-view centered within 20$^\circ$ around the Galactic center and applies cuts on the energy range and/or excludes low latitudes, cuts typically applied by the proponents of the DM hypothesis. However, if one considers the whole gamma-ray sky and includes gamma-ray energies up to 100 GeV we find that the MC hypothesis is preferred over the DM hypothesis for several reasons: i) The MC hypothesis provides significantly better fits; ii) The morphology of the "GeV-excess" follows the morphology of the CO-maps, a tracer of MCs, i.e. there exists a strong "GeV-excess" in the Galactic disk also at large longitudes; iii) The massive CMZ with a rectangular field-of-view of $l \times b = 3.5^{\circ} \times 0.5^{\circ}$ shows the maximum of the energy flux per log bin in the diffuse gamma-ray spectrum at 2 GeV, i.e. the "GeV-excess", already in the raw data without any analysis. The rectangular profile contradicts the spherical morphology expected for DM annihilation.

description: We deal with the duality symmetry of the Dilaton field in cosmology and specifically with the so-called Gasperini-Veneziano duality transformation. In particular, we determine two conformal equivalent theories to the Dilaton field, and we show that under conformal transformations Gasperini-Veneziano duality symmetry does not survive. Moreover, we show that those theories share a common conservation law, of Noetherian kind, while the symmetry vector which generates the conservation law is an isometry only for the Dilaton field. Finally, we show that the Lagrangian of the Dilaton field is equivalent with that of the two-dimensional \textquotedblright hyperbolic oscillator\textquotedblright\ in a Lorentzian space whose $O(d,d)$ invariance is transformed to the Gasperini-Veneziano duality invariance in the original coordinates.

description: Peer review is a cornerstone of science. Research communities conduct peer reviews to assess contributions and to improve the overall quality of science work. Every year, new community members are recruited as peer reviewers for the first time. How could technology help novices adhere to their community's practices and standards for peer reviewing? To better understand peer review practices and challenges, we conducted a formative study with 10 novices and 10 experts. We found that many experts adopt a workflow of annotating, note-taking, and synthesizing notes into well-justified reviews that align with community standards. Novices lack timely guidance on how to read and assess submissions and how to structure paper reviews. To support the peer review process, we developed ReviewFlow -- an AI-driven workflow that scaffolds novices with contextual reflections to critique and annotate submissions, in-situ knowledge support to assess novelty, and notes-to-outline synthesis to help align peer reviews with community expectations. In a within-subjects experiment, 16 inexperienced reviewers wrote reviews in two conditions: using ReviewFlow and using a baseline environment with minimal guidance. With ReviewFlow, participants produced more comprehensive reviews, identifying more pros and cons. While participants appreciated the streamlined process support from ReviewFlow, they also expressed concerns about using AI as part of the scientific review process. We discuss the implications of using AI to scaffold the peer review process on scientific work and beyond.

We will present new theoretical results on thermal neutrino and antineutrino spectra produced deep inside the pre-supernova core. Three competing processes: pair-, photo and plasma-neutrino production, are taken into account. The results will be used to estimate signal in existing and future neutrino detectors. Chance for supernova prediction is estimated, with possible aid to core-collapse neutrino and gravitational wave detectors in the form of early warning.

description: Strong nonlinearity at the single photon level represents a crucial enabling tool for optical quantum technologies. Here we report on experimental implementation of a strong Kerr nonlinearity by measurement-induced quantum operations on weak quantum states of light. Our scheme coherently combines two sequences of single photon addition and subtraction to induce a nonlinear phase shift at the single photon level. We probe the induced nonlinearity with weak coherent states and characterize the output non-Gaussian states with quantum state tomography. The strong nonlinearity is clearly witnessed as a change of sign of specific off-diagonal density matrix elements in Fock basis.

description: It was recently suggested that causal structures are both dynamical, because of general relativity, and indefinite, due to quantum theory. The process matrix formalism furnishes a framework for quantum mechanics on indefinite causal structures, where the order between operations of local laboratories is not definite (e.g. one cannot say whether operation in laboratory A occurs before or after operation in laboratory B). Here we develop a framework for "dynamics of causal structures", i.e. for transformations of process matrices into process matrices. We show that, under continuous and reversible transformations, the causal order between operations is always preserved. However, the causal order between a subset of operations can be changed under continuous yet nonreversible transformations. An explicit example is that of the quantum switch, where a party in the past affects the causal order of operations of future parties, leading to a transition from a channel from A to B, via superposition of causal orders, to a channel from B to A. We generalise our framework to construct a hierarchy of quantum maps based on transformations of process matrices and transformations thereof.

description: Замонавий инсоният даврлар алманишинуви босқичида яшамоқда, яъни унда давлатнинг халқаро майдонда ўз мақсадига эришиши учун куч ишлатиш ўрнига бошқача, анча ахлоқийроқ ва маданиятлироқ, умуман прогрессив услубларни жорий қилиш босқичи бўлмоқда. Айнан “совуқ уруш”нинг тугаши ва унда Ғарбнинг узил-кесил ғалабаси янги тарихий даврни бошлаб берди. Бу ўзгаришнинг алоҳида ҳусусияти шундан иборатки, у анъанавий зўровонликнинг натижаси эмас, балки рақобатлашаётган Шарқ ва Ғарбнинг ўзаро келишуви ва компрамиси асосида намоён бўлди. Бу ўзгариш асосида олдинги жаҳон тартиботи ўрнини янгиси эгаллагани, ёки икки қутибли дунёдан кўп қутиблига айланаётгани билангина эмас, балки бу фундаментал, жуда чуқурроқ ўзгариш – яъни, халқаро муносабатларда олдинги мажбурлов–куч  ишлатиш методлари ўрнига, маданиятлироқ ва натижалироқ бўлган дипломатиянинг роли ошишига олиб келди.

description: Mark all vertices on a curve evolving under a family of curves obtained by intersecting a smooth surface M with the 1-parameter family of planes parallel to the tangent plane to M at a point p. Those vertices trace out a set, called the vertex set of M through p. We take p to be an isolated umbilic point on M and describe the perestroikas of the vertex set under generic n-parameter small deformations of the surface, as well as the corresponding discriminants. One of the main consequences of our results is that, in some sense (see Theorem 2), generically the study of the discriminants of small n-deformations, with n greater than or equal to 2, simplifies to that of 2-deformations. This work was primarily motivated by the medial representation of shapes in Computer Vision and Image Analysis, where the behaviour of vertices plays a crucial role in the qualitative changes of the skeleton or Blum medial axis of curves. On the other hand, the study of vertices of curves has raised up a great interest in particular in Geometry and Singularity Theory, in line with several problems such as the 4-vertex Theorem, the local geometry of surfaces and Geometry of Caustics. These classical subjects have received a new impulsion due to the development of Contact Geometry, especially in the works of V. Arnold on Legendrian Collapse and Legendrian Sturm Theory showing the relation between vertices of plane curves and Legendrian singularities and Sturm-Hurwitz Theorem.

description: Protein was extracted from the seeds of Kleinhovia hospita Linn., which is being a nonconventional source. Extraction of K. hospita seed protein at various pH values in aqueous solution and at pH 7, different salt concentrations were done. Fractionation of protein from seeds was performed to separate albumin, globulin, prolamin, and glutelin. The amino acid compositions of total protein isolate (TPI) and the fractions were determined. A total of 15 amino acids were identified including 9 essential amino acids. Gel filtration by Sephadex G-100 revealed the presence of three components in the TPI. Sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis of TPI and fractions showed different polypeptide bands having molecular weights ranging from 12 to 42 kDa approximately. Scanning electron microscopic study of TPI and fractions revealed the surface topology of the protein.

description: We compare binary evolution models with different assumptions about black-hole natal kicks to the first gravitational-wave observations performed by the LIGO detectors. Our comparisons attempt to reconcile merger rate, masses, spins, and spin-orbit misalignments of all current observations with state-of-the-art formation scenarios of binary black holes formed in isolation. We estimate that black holes (BHs) should receive natal kicks at birth of the order of $σ\simeq 200$ (50) km/s if tidal processes do (not) realign stellar spins. Our estimate is driven by two simple factors. The natal kick dispersion $σ$ is bounded from above because large kicks disrupt too many binaries (reducing the merger rate below the observed value). Conversely, the natal kick distribution is bounded from below because modest kicks are needed to produce a range of spin-orbit misalignments. A distribution of misalignments increases our models' compatibility with LIGO's observations, if all BHs are likely to have natal spins. Unlike related work which adopts a concrete BH natal spin prescription, we explore a range of possible BH natal spin distributions. Within the context of our models, for all of the choices of $σ$ used here and within the context of one simple fiducial parameterized spin distribution, observations favor low BH natal spin.

description: We discuss the possibility of testing the weak currents and, in particular, the weak magnetism term through the measurement of the electron anti-neutrinos capture by protons at a low energy beta-beam facility. We analyze the sensitivity using both the total number of events and the angular distribution of the positrons emitted in a water Cerenkov detector. We show that the weak magnetism form factor might be determined with better than several percent accuracy using the angular distribution. This offers a new way of testing the Conserved Vector Current hypothesis.

description: Building regulatory systems have been evolving in recent decades, first with a transition to a functional or performance basis, and more recently with the introduction of new societal objectives, including those related to sustainability and climate change resiliency. Various policy and technical challenges have been identified with this evolution, including the lack of a common basis for establishing performance expectations, quantified performance metrics, and robust mechanisms to incorporate new objectives in a manner that effectively integrates a diversity of stakeholder input and results in regulatory requirements that do not compete with long-standing objectives. Among the mechanisms being explored to facilitate a managed evolution is the use of risk as a basis for performance, and modifications within the building regulatory environment to enable this. It is posited that framing the building regulatory system as a socio-technical system (STS) will highlight the complex interactions that exist between regulators and the market, the roles stakeholders play in characterizing risk for use in building regulation, and what steps are required to shift to a risk-informed performance-based building regulatory system, taking into account different legal structures and regulatory approaches that exist between jurisdictions.

description: The Sloan Digital Sky Survey has allowed us to increase the number of known white dwarfs by a factor of five and consequently the number of known pulsating white dwarfs also by a factor of five. It has also led to the discovery of new types of variable white dwarfs, as the variable hot DQs, and the pulsating Extremely Low Mass white dwarfs. With the Kepler Mission, it has been possible to discover new phenomena, the outbursts present in a few pulsating white dwarfs.

Dynamics of Relativistic Shock Waves Subject to a Strong Radiation Drag: Similarity Solutions and Numerical Simulations

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: We examine the effect of Compton drag on the dynamics of a relativistic shock wave. Similarity solutions describing a radiation-supported shock are obtained for certain profiles of the external radiation intensity and the density of the unshocked ejecta, and are compared with 1D numerical simulations of a blast wave expanding into an ambient medium containing isotropic seed radiation. Both the analytic model and the simulations indicate that under realistic conditions the radiation drag should strongly affect the dynamics and structure of the shocked layer. In particular, our calculations show significant strengthening of the reverse shock and weakening of the forward shock over time of the order of the inverse Compton cooling time. We conclude that the effect of radiation drag on the evolution of the emitting plasma should affect the resultant light curves and, conceivably, spectra of the observed emission during strong blazar flares.
