description: Population growth in nonmetro counties adjacent to metro counties was influenced by three factors in the 1980's. Urban spillover—where the metro county fared well, so too, generally, did the adjacent county. Size of metro county—the population of nonmetro counties adjacent to large metro counties (more than 1 million population) grew faster than the population of other nonmetro counties. Region—nonmetro adjacent counties in the West experienced high population growth.

description: Abstract: Background: In utero exposure to obesity is consistently associated with increased risk of metabolic disease, obesity and cardiovascular dysfunction in later life despite the divergence of birth weight outcomes. The placenta plays a critical role in offspring development and long-term health, as it mediates the crosstalk between the maternal and fetal environments. However, its phenotypic and molecular modifications in the context of maternal obesity associated with fetal growth restriction (FGR) remain poorly understood. Methods: Using a mouse model of maternal diet-induced obesity, we investigated changes in the placental transcriptome through RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) at embryonic day (E) 19. The most differentially expressed genes (FDR < 0.05) were validated by Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) in male and female placentae at E19. The expression of these targets and related genes was also determined by qPCR at E13 to examine whether the observed alterations had an earlier onset at mid-gestation. Structural analyses were performed using immunofluorescent staining against Ki67 and CD31 to investigate phenotypic outcomes at both timepoints. Results: RNA-seq and IPA analyses revealed differential expression of transcripts and pathway interactions related to placental vascular development and tissue morphology in obese placentae at term, including downregulation of Muc15, Cnn1, and Acta2. Pdgfb, which is implicated in labyrinthine layer development, was downregulated in obese placentae at E13. This was consistent with the morphological evidence of reduced labyrinth zone (LZ) size, as well as lower fetal weight at both timepoints irrespective of offspring sex. Conclusions: Maternal obesity results in abnormal placental LZ development and impaired vascularization, which may mediate the observed FGR through reduced transfer of nutrients across the placenta.

description: Adjoint supermultiplets (1,3,0) and (8,1,0) modify the evolution of gauge couplings. If the unification of gauge couplings occurs at the string scale, their masses are fixed at around $10^{13}$ GeV. This scale coincides with expected gaugino condensation scale in the hidden sector $M_{string}^{2/3} m^{1/3}_{3/2} \sim 10^{13}$ GeV. We show how neutrino masses arise in this unified model which naturally explain the present atmospheric and solar neutrino data. The out-of-equilibrium decay of the superfield (1,3,0) at $10^{13}$ GeV may also lead to a lepton asymmetry which then gets converted into the present observed baryon asymmetry of the Universe.

description: The widespread use of wireless technologies leads to an ever-increasing number of users and permanently functioning devices. However, the growth of the number of wireless users in a limited space and a limited frequency range leads to an increase in their mutual influence, which ultimately affects the throughput of wireless channels and even the performance of the system as a whole. The article presents the statistics and tendencies of the distribution of wireless networks of the IEEE 802.11 standard systems, as well as analyzes the main problems that arise during the expansion of their use. Substantiation and choice of ways to overcome these difficulties largely depends on the objective control of radiation parameters of access points and subscriber funds in a particular environment. The review of the state control facilities provided by the developers of the equipment is presented, and author's variants of experimental measuring complexes are offered, allowing to control signal and information parameters of Wi-Fi systems. The experimental results obtained with the use of the indicated means, obtained using the accelerating metal-plate lens as an additional autonomous element for focusing the field, including for MIMO systems, the effect of the accelerating metal-plate lens on the spatial distribution of the field, on the spectral structure of the signal are presented. In addition, polarization effects were investigated. Possible ways to further increase the availability, integrity of information and energy efficiency of wireless access systems are discussed. The authors propose simpler and less costly options for increasing the direction of radiation on the basis of an accelerating metal-plate lens, experimentally tested, as well as the use of zone zoning on the path of the computer.

description: In mobile robotics, scan matching of point clouds using Iterative Closest Point (ICP) allows estimating sensor displacements. It may prove important to assess the associated uncertainty about the obtained rigid transformation, especially for sensor fusion purposes. In this paper we propose a novel approach to 3D uncertainty of ICP that accounts for all the sources of error as listed in Censi's pioneering work [1], namely wrong convergence, underconstrained situations, and sensor noise. Our approach builds on two facts. First, the uncertainty about the ICP's output fully depends on the initialization accuracy. Thus speaking of the covariance of ICP makes sense only in relation to the initialization uncertainty, which generally stems from odometry errors. We capture this using the unscented transform, which also reflects correlations between initial and final uncertainties. Then, assuming white sensor noise leads to overoptimism as ICP is biased owing to e.g. calibration biases, which we account for. Our solution is tested on publicly available real data ranging from structured to unstructured environments, where our algorithm predicts consistent results with actual uncertainty, and compares favorably to previous methods.

description: In this paper we present XNICER, an optimized multi-band extinction technique based on the extreme deconvolution of the intrinsic colors of objects observed through a molecular cloud. XNICER follows a rigorous statistical approach and provides the full Bayesian inference of the extinction for each observed object. Photometric errors in both the training control field and in the science field are properly taken into account. XNICER improves over the known extinction methods and is computationally fast enough to be used on large datasets of objects. Our tests and simulations show that this method is able to reduce the noise associated with extinction measurements by a factor 2 with respect to the previous NICER algorithm, and it has no evident bias even at high extinctions.

$D$-wave effects in diffractive electroproduction of heavy quarkonia from the photon-like $V\rightarrow Q\bar Q$ transition

description: We analyze the validity of a commonly used identification between structures of the virtual photon $γ^*\to Q\bar Q$ and vector meson $V\to Q\bar Q$ transitions. In the existing studies of $S$-wave vector-meson photoproduction in the literature, such an identification is typically performed in the light-front (LF) frame while the radial component of the meson wave function is rather postulated than computed from the first principles. The massive photon-like $V\to Q\bar Q$ vertex, besides the $S$-wave component, also contains an extra $D$-wave admixture in the $Q\bar Q$ rest frame. However, the relative weight of these contributions cannot be justified by any reasonable nonrelativistic $Q\bar Q$ potential model. In this work, we investigate the relative role of the $D$-wave contribution starting from the photon-like quarkonium $V\to Q\bar Q$ transition in both frames: in the $Q\bar Q$ rest frame (with subsequent Melosh spin transform to the LF frame) and in the LF frame (without Melosh transform). We show that the photon-like transition imposed in the $Q\bar Q$ rest frame leads to significant discrepancies with the experimental data. In the second case we find that the corresponding total $J/ψ(1S)$ photoproduction cross sections are very close to those obtained with the "$S$-wave only" $V\to Q\bar Q$ transition, both leading to a good description of the data. However, we find that the "$S$-wave only" transition leads to a better description of photoproduction data for excited heavy quarkonium states, which represent a more effective tool for study of $D$-wave effects. Consequently, the predictions for production of excited states based on the photon-like structure of $V\to Q\bar Q$ transition should be treated with a great care due to a much stronger sensitivity of the $D$-wave contribution to the nodal structure of quarkonium wave functions.

Local Moment Formation in the Periodic Anderson Model with Superconducting Correlations

description: We study local moment formation in the presence of superconducting correlations among the f-electrons in the periodic Anderson model. Local moments form if the Coulomb interaction U>U_cr. We find that U_cr is considerably stronger in the presence of superconducting correlations than in the non-superconducting system. Our study is done for various values of the f-level energy and electronic density. The smallest critical U_cr values occur for the case where the number of f- electrons per site is equal to one. In the presence of d-wave superconducting correlations we find that local moment formation presents a quantum phase transition as function of pressure. This quantum phase transition separates a region where local moments and d-wave superconductivity coexist from another region characterized by a superconducting ground state with no local moments. We discuss the possible relevance of these results to experimental studies of the competition between magnetic order and superconductivity in CeCu_2Si_2.

description: In this work, we utilize voltage controlled magnetic anisotropy (VCMA) to manipulate magnetic skyrmions that are fixed in space. Memory devices based on this strategy can potentially be of smaller footprint and better energy efficiency than current-controlled motion-based skyrmionic devices. To demonstrate VCMA induced manipulation of skyrmions, we fabricate antiferromagnet/ferromagnet/oxide heterostructure films where skyrmions can be stabilized without any external magnetic field due to the presence of exchange bias. These isolated skyrmions were annihilated by applying a voltage pulse that increased PMA. On the other hand, decreasing PMA promoted formation of more skyrmions. Furthermore, skyrmions can be created from chiral domains by increasing PMA of the system. To corroborate our experimental observations, we performed micromagnetic simulation. The proposed method could potentially lead to novel skyrmion-based memory devices.

description: The phase and the frequency of an exciton polariton condensate excited by a nonresonant pump can be efficiently manipulated by an external coherent light. Being tuned close to the resonance with the condensate eigenfrequency, the external laser light imposes its frequency to the condensate and locks its phase, thereby manifesting a synchronization effect. The conditions of formation of the phase synchronized regime are determined. The synchronization of a couple of closely spaced polariton condensates by a spatially uniform coherent light is examined. At the moderate strength of the coherent driving the synchronization is accompanied by the appearance of symmetry-breaking states of the polariton dyad, while these states are superseded by the symmetric state at the high-intensity driving. By employing a zero-dimensional model of coupled dissipative oscillators with both dissipative and conservative coupling, we study the bifurcation scenario of the symmetry-breaking state formation.

description: The accurate estimation of students' grades in future courses is important as it can inform the selection of next term's courses and create personalized degree pathways to facilitate successful and timely graduation. This paper presents future-course grade predictions methods based on sparse linear models and low-rank matrix factorizations that are specific to each course or student-course tuple. These methods identify the predictive subsets of prior courses on a course-by-course basis and better address problems associated with the not-missing-at-random nature of the student-course historical grade data. The methods were evaluated on a dataset obtained from the University of Minnesota. This evaluation showed that the course-specific models outperformed various competing schemes with the best performing scheme achieving an RMSE across the different courses of 0.632 vs 0.661 for the best competing method.

description: The impact of surface vacancies and single adatoms on the magnetic properties of tetragonal {\bf{L1}$_{0}$} CoPt thin films is investigated from first principles. We consider Co and Fe single adatoms deposited on a Pt-terminated thin film while a Pt adatom is assumed to be supported by a Co-terminated film. The vacancy is injected in the top-surface layer of the films with both types of termination. After finding the most stable location of the defects, we discuss their magnetic properties tight to those of the substrate and investigate the magnetic crystalline anisotropy energy (MAE). Previous simulations [Brahimi et al. J. Phys.: Condens. Matter. \textbf{28}, 496002 (2016)] predicted a large out-of-plane surface MAE for the Pt-terminated CoPt films (4 meV per f.u.) in contrast to in-plane surface MAE for Co-terminated films (-1 meV per f.u.). Here, we find that the surface MAE is significantly modified upon the presence of the atomic defects. All investigated defects induce an in-plane MAE, which is large enough for Fe adatom and Pt vacancy to switch the surface MAE from out-of-plane to in-plane for the Pt-terminated films. Interestingly, among the investigated defects Pt vacancy has the largest effect on the MAE in contrast to Co vacancy, which induced the smallest but still significant effect. This behavior is explained in terms of the orbital moment anisotropy of the thin films.

description: Adiabatic frequency conversion has some key advantages over nonlinear frequency conversion. No threshold and no phase-matching conditions need to be fulfilled. Moreover, it exhibits a conversion efficiency of $100\,\%$ down to the single-photon level. Adiabatic frequency conversion schemes in microresonators demonstrated so far suffer either from low quality factors of the employed resonators resulting in short photon lifetimes or small frequency shifts. Here, we present an adiabatic frequency conversion (AFC) scheme by employing the Pockels effect. We use a non-centrosymmetric ultrahigh-$Q$ microresonator made out of lithium niobate. Frequency shifts of more than $5\,$GHz are achieved by applying just $20\,$V to $70$-micrometer-thick crystal. Furthermore, we demonstrate that already with the same setup positive and a negative frequency chirps can be generated. With this method, by controlling the voltage applied to the crystal, almost arbitrary frequency shifts can be realized. The general advances in on-chip fabrication of lithium-niobate-based devices make it feasible to transfer the current apparatus onto a chip suitable for mass production.

Getting the Most Out of Your VNFs: Flexible Assignment of Service Priorities in 5G

description: Through their computational and forwarding capabilities, 5G networks can support multiple vertical services. Such services may include several common virtual (network) functions (VNFs), which could be shared to increase resource efficiency. In this paper, we focus on the seldom studied VNF-sharing problem, and decide (i) whether sharing a VNF instance is possible/beneficial or not, (ii) how to scale virtual machines hosting the VNFs to share, and (iii) the priorities of the different services sharing the same VNF. These decisions are made with the aim to minimize the mobile operator's costs while meeting the verticals' performance requirements. Importantly, we show that the aforementioned priorities should not be determined a priori on a per-service basis, rather they should change across VNFs since such additional flexibility allows for more efficient solutions. We then present an effective methodology called FlexShare, enabling near-optimal VNF-sharing decisions in polynomial time. Our performance evaluation, using real-world VNF graphs, confirms the effectiveness of our approach, which consistently outperforms baseline solutions using per-service priorities.

description: Many complex genomic rearrangements arise through template switch errors, which occur in DNA replication when there is a transient polymerase switch to an alternate template nearby in three-dimensional space. While typically investigated at kilobase-to-megabase scales, the genomic and evolutionary consequences of this mutational process are not well characterised at smaller scales, where they are often interpreted as clusters of independent substitutions, insertions and deletions. Here we present an improved statistical approach using pair hidden Markov models, and use it to detect and describe short-range template switches underlying clusters of mutations in the multi-way alignment of hominid genomes. Using robust statistics derived from evolutionary genomic simulations, we show that template switch events have been widespread in the evolution of the great apes’ genomes and provide a parsimonious explanation for the presence of many complex mutation clusters in their phylogenetic context. Larger-scale mechanisms of genome rearrangement are typically associated with structural features around breakpoints, and accordingly we show that atypical patterns of secondary structure formation and DNA bending are present at the initial template switch loci. Our methods improve on previous non-probabilistic approaches for computational detection of template switch mutations, allowing the statistical significance of events to be assessed. By specifying realistic evolutionary parameters based on the genomes and taxa involved, our methods can be readily adapted to other intra- or inter-species comparisons.

description: Spatial market integration refers to the smooth transmission of price signals and information across spatially separated markets. This paper investigates whether US rice markets are spatially integrated and whether these markets are integrated across rice varieties. Understanding dynamic and spatial relationships across regions and varieties provides important insights for policy making. Rice is among the top seven US major crops in terms of harvested acres – covering over 2.6 million acres – and sixth in terms of sales, with annual cash receipts around 3.1 billion dollars. Of the four major producing regions, three are in the South – Arkansas-Missouri, Louisiana-Mississippi, and Texas, and the other is California. The varieties are different associated with the production region. California mainly produces short and medium grain; while Arkansas, Texas, and Louisiana produces mostly long also medium grain. We investigate the potential market integration of these rice markets by applying a Vector Error Correction Model to monthly f.o.b. milling price data from 1980 to 2014. Arkansas-Missouri region is identified as the leading price in the variety of long grain also medium grain markets. Interestingly, Arkansas-Missouri medium grain plays an additional important role in the long grain market. California short grain market seems to move somewhat independently (weakly exogenous) in the short run, but its price movement is affected by Arkansas-Missouri medium grain in the longer term.

description: We examined the cross-national adoption of six major private food safety standards, focusing on the role of certifiers and international trade. Results based on a negative binomial model show that the number of domestic certification bodies, total food exports, and the proportion of food exports to North America had a positive effect on a country’s adoption of food safety standards. We also found that distance creates product differentiation for standards and therefore disadvantages developing countries in Africa and Asia for adopting standards. Providing these countries with better access to certifiers can alleviate this geographic disadvantage.

description: The formation mechanism of super star clusters (SSCs), a present-day analog of the ancient globulars, still remains elusive. The major merger, the Antennae galaxies is forming SSCs and is one of the primary targets to test the cluster formation mechanism. We reanalyzed the archival ALMA CO data of the Antennae and found three typical observational signatures of a cloud-cloud collision toward SSC B1 and other SSCs in the overlap region; i. two velocity components with $\sim$100 km s$^{-1}$ velocity separation, ii. the bridge features connecting the two components, and iii. the complementary spatial distribution between them, lending support for collisions of the two components as a cluster formation mechanism. We present a scenario that the two clouds with 100 km s$^{-1}$ velocity separation collided, and SSCs having $\sim$10$^6$-10$^7$ $M_{\rm \odot}$ were formed rapidly during the time scale. {We compared the present results with the recent studies of star forming regions in the Milky Way and the LMC, where the SSCs having $\sim$10$^4$-10$^5$ $M_{\rm \odot}$ are located. As a result, we found that there is a positive correlation between the compressed gas pressure generated by collisions and the total stellar mass of SSC, suggesting that the pressure may be a key parameter in the SSC formation.

description: Scientists rely heavily on tree-ring records to better understand climate variability of the past millennium. Tree rings can also be utilized to give students a window into paleoclimate research, the methods scientists use, and the importance of scientific findings. Here, we present five online labs that introduce undergraduate students to the field of dendrochronology. Students learn about foundational tree-ring concepts and are guided to use many of the same tools and strategies as scientists, including exploring important field sites, measuring tree-ring data from those sites, using online paleoclimate databanks, and evaluating climate trends and extremes. The labs have been classroom tested and were modified based on a professional assessment, and faculty and student reviews. Faculty and student surveys and student lab grades show that the majority of students were able to meet the learning goals of the labs. Students reported that they felt they were working as scientists would, and, after completing the labs, that they better understood tree-ring science methods and applications. These materials were developed collaboratively with faculty input from a variety of institutions to have broad appeal and allow for use in a variety of classroom settings.
