description: Discrete choice experiment data aimed at eliciting the demand for recreational walking trails on farmland in Ireland is used to explore whether some respondents reach their choices solely on the basis of the alternative’s label. To investigate this type of processing strategy, this paper exploits a discrete mixtures approach that also encompasses continuous distributions to reflect the heterogeneity in preferences for the attributes. We find evidence that a proportion of respondents adopt this processing strategy and that the strategies employed by rural and urban respondents are somewhat different. Results further highlight that model fit and measures of welfare are sensitive to assumptions related to processing strategies among respondents.

description: Optimal strategies for epidemic containment are focused on dismantling the contact network through effective immunization with minimal costs. However, network fragmentation is seldom accessible in practice and may present extreme side effects. In this work, we investigate the epidemic containment immunizing population fractions far below the percolation threshold. We report that moderate and weakly supervised immunizations can lead to finite epidemic thresholds of the susceptible-infected-susceptible model on scale-free networks by changing the nature of the transition from a specific-motif to a collectively driven process. Both pruning of efficient spreaders and increasing of their mutual separation are necessary for a collective activation. Fractions of immunized vertices needed to eradicate the epidemics which are much smaller than the percolation thresholds were observed for a broad spectrum of real networks considering targeted or acquaintance immunization strategies. Our work contributes for the construction of optimal containment, preserving network functionality through non massive and viable immunization strategies.

description: Precise momentum distributions of identified projectile fragments, formed in the reactions 238U + Pb and 238U + Ti at 1 A GeV, are measured with a high-resolution magnetic spectrometer. With increasing mass loss, the velocities first decrease as expected from previously established systematics, then level off, and finally increase again. Light fragments are on the average even faster than the projectiles. This finding is interpreted as the response of the spectators to the participant blast. The re-acceleration of projectile spectators is sensitive to the nuclear mean field and provides a new tool for investigating the equation of state of nuclear matter.

description: Farmland can confer significant public good benefits to society aside from its role in agricultural production. In this paper we investigate preferences of rural residents for the use of farmland as a recreational resource. In particular we use the choice experiment method to determine preferences for the development of farmland walking trails. Our modelling approach is to use a series of mixed logit models to assess the impact of alternative distributional assumptions for the cost coefficient on the welfare estimates associated with the provision of the trails. Our results reveal that using a mixture of discrete and continuous distributions to represent cost heterogeneity leads to a better model fit and lowest welfare estimates. Our results further reveal that Irish rural residents show positive preferences for the development of farmland walking trails in the Irish countryside.

description: Experimental spectra from medium energy ion scattering were compared to Monte-Carlo simulations (employing the TRBS code) to obtain information on the scattering potential. The impact of uncertainties in the interatomic potential on quantification of sample properties such as thickness, composition or electronic stopping was investigated for different scattering geometries: backscattering and transmission. For backscattered He ions with tens of keV primary energy the scattering potential was found to overestimate the multiple scattering background in the energy spectra resulting in an uncertainty of < 3 % in quantitative analysis. Light ions transmitted through a sample for equivalent path length in the medium are only affected minorly by changes in the scattering potential. This effect becomes more distinct for heavier primary ions.

description: This paper develops and compares two alternative approaches to accommodate scale heterogeneity (also referred to as heteroskedasticity) in latent class models. Our modelling approach compares two different representations of heteroskedasticity, respectively associating the heterogeneity in scale factor with respondent's characteristics (i.e. observed scale heterogeneity) or deriving it probabilistically (i.e. unobserved scale heterogeneity). The results reveal a number of benefits associated with this type of approach, particularly when heterosckedasticity can be linked to observed characteristics of the respondent. Our data comes from a discrete choice experiment eliciting recreational users preferences for farmland walking trails in Ireland

description: RESUMO Objetivos: Analisar a influência de uma intervenção terapêutica precoce no desenvolvimento e gravidade do desvio vertical dissociado (DVD) em doentes com endotropia (ET) congénita. Material e Métodos: Estudo retrospetivo de 100 doentes com o diagnóstico de ET congénita, que foram submetidos a injeção intramuscular de toxina botulínica. Os doentes foram divididos em dois grupos: aqueles que realizaram o primeiro tratamento com toxina botulínica antes dos 24 meses de idade (Grupo toxina ≤24 meses) e os que realizaram depois dos 24 meses (Grupo toxina >24 meses). A propósito destes casos clínicos avaliaram-se os seguintes fatores: ângulo do desvio da ET, idade aquando da realização da toxina botulínica, história de prematuridade, presença de DVD, ângulo do desvio horizontal e vertical no follow-up >8 anos. Resultados: Foram analisados 50 doentes do Grupo toxina ≤24 meses e 50 doentes do Grupo toxina >24 meses. Em ambos os grupos verificou-se uma forte correlação positiva (P=0.65 e P=0.68, respetivamente) entre o ângulo do desvio da ET e o grau de DVD, sendo esta associação mais forte no Grupo toxina >24 meses. 98% dos doentes do Grupo toxina >24 meses desenvolveram DVD, comparado com 74% do Grupo toxina ≤24 meses (P<0.05). O grau de DVD foi maior no Grupo toxina >24 meses, comparativamente ao Grupo toxina ≤24 meses (P<0.05). 82% dos casos do Grupo toxina ≤24 meses e 80% do Grupo toxina >24 meses, obtiveram um desvio horizontal pós-toxina ≤10 DP. 66% dos casos do Grupo toxina ≤24 meses e 24% do Grupo toxina >24 meses obtiveram um DVD <5 DP. Conclusões: A administração precoce de toxina botulínica em crianças com ET congénita, especialmente em casos com grande ângulo de desvio da ET, diminui a incidência e a magnitude do DVD. Palavras-chave: ET congénita, DVD, toxina botulínica, intervenção precoce.

description: In this paper, we examine heterogeneity in the trip preferences of recreationists by applying a random parameters negative binomial model and a latent class negative binomial model to a panel data set of beach users at a site on the west coast of Ireland. This is the first such attempt in the literature to account for heterogeneity with respect to the impact of the chosen explanatory variables in contingent behaviour travel cost models of demand where the researcher also must account for the fact that the sample data has been collected on-site. The analysis also develops individual consumer surplus estimates and finds that estimates are systematically affected by both the random parameter and latent class specifications. There is also evidence that accounting for individual heterogeneity improves the statistical fit of the models and provides a more informative description of the drivers of recreationalist trip behaviour.

description: Recent research in Ireland has estimated both the national and regional economic value of the marine sector. However, economic activity does not exist in a vacuum. Activities in the marine sector not only directly affect the industries in the sector but also influence other sectors through inter-sectoral linkages. This paper uses an Input-Output (IO) methodology to examine the linkages and production effects of the Irish marine sector on the national economy. Disaggregating the Irish IO table for 2007 to include ten additional marine sectors, this paper represents the first effort to quantify the inter-industry linkage effects, production-inducing effects and employment multipliers in the marine sector. This analysis found that a number of marine sectors, notably the maritime transportation sector, have an important economic role within the wider Irish economy.

description: Measurements of the Faraday rotation of the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR) polarization could provide evidence for the existence of primordial magnetic fields. The Faraday rotation could also allow the study of some properties of these fields. In this paper, we calculate the angular dependence of the Faraday rotation correlator for different assumptions about the spectral index and correlation length of the magnetic field. We show that the helical part of the magnetic field does not make any contribution to the correlator. We stress the importance of the angular resolution of the detector in the Faraday rotation measure, showing that it could severely reduce the effect, even for a relatively large magnetic field correlation length.

description: We have fabricated a Josephson charge qubit by capacitively coupling a single-Cooper-pair box (SCB) to an electrometer based upon a single-electron transistor configured for radio-frequency readout (RF-SET). Charge quantization of 2e is observed and microwave spectroscopy is used to extract the Josephson and charging energies of the box. We perform coherent manipulation of the SCB by using very fast DC pulses and observe quantum oscillations in time of the charge that persist to ~=10ns. The observed contrast of the oscillations is high and agrees with that expected from the finite E_J/E_C ratio and finite rise-time of the DC pulses. In addition, we are able to demonstrate nearly 100% initial charge state polarization. We also present a method to determine the relaxation time T_1 when it is shorter than the measurement time T_{meas}.

The concentration of noble-gas-like atoms in the atmosphere and the subsequent very large depletion of the light He-3,4 isotopes allow us to set stringent limits on th abundance: 10^-13 to 10^-17 per atom in the solar system, over the mass range of 20 to 10,000 amu.

description: Economically, Ireland depends heavily upon its shipping sector. However, structural changes arising from the globalisation of shipping fleets and the recent global recession has resulted in a decline in Europe’s shipping sector. Acknowledging the need for direct measures to halt this decline the Irish government introduced a range of policies aimed at developing a maritime transportation cluster in Ireland. Research has indicated that industrial clusters are important for the creation of economic value at the national, regional and sectoral level. Disaggregating the 2007 Input-Output table to include ten additional marine based sectors, this paper examines the potential for developing a maritime transportation cluster given the current characteristics of the sector. The analysis found that given the strength of the maritime transportation linkages with the broader economy, including its intermediate input role in a number of key economic sectors, there is a clear rationale for the development of a cluster for the sector.

description: Supersymmetric vacua (`universes') of string/M theory may be identified with certain critical points of a holomorphic section (the `superpotential') of a Hermitian holomorphic line bundle over a complex manifold. An important physical problem is to determine how many vacua there are and how they are distributed. The present paper initiates the study of the statistics of critical points $\nabla s = 0$ of Gaussian random holomorphic sections with respect to a connection $\nabla$. Even the expected number of critical points depends on the curvature of $\nabla$. The principal results give formulas for the expected density and number of critical points of Gaussian random sections relative to $\nabla$ in a variety of settings. The results are particularly concrete for Riemann surfaces. Analogous results on the density of critical points of fixed Morse index are given.

description: We present an algorithm to design networks that feature pretty good state transfer (PGST), which is of interest for high-fidelity transfer of information in quantum computing. Realizations of PGST networks have so far mostly relied either on very special network geometries or imposed conditions such as transcendental on-site potentials. However, it was recently shown [Eisenberg et al., arXiv:1804.01645] that PGST generally arises when a network's eigenvectors and the factors $P_{\pm}$ of its characteristic polynomial $P$ fulfill certain conditions, where $P_{\pm}$ correspond to eigenvectors which have $\pm 1$ parity on the input and target sites. We combine this result with the so-called isospectral reduction of a network to obtain $P_{\pm}$ from a dimensionally reduced form of the Hamiltonian. Equipped with the knowledge of the factors $P_{\pm}$, we show how a variety of setups can be equipped with PGST by proper tuning of $P_{\pm}$. Having demonstrated a method of designing networks featuring pretty good state transfer of single site excitations, we further show how the obtained networks can be manipulated such that they allow for robust storage of qubits. We hereby rely on the concept of compact localized states, which are eigenstates of a Hamiltonian localized on a small subdomain, and whose amplitudes completely vanish outside of this domain. Such states are natural candidates for the storage of quantum information, and we show how certain Hamiltonians featuring pretty good state transfer of single site excitation can be equipped with compact localized states such that their transfer is made possible.

description: We present a new complementary strategy to quasicrystalline structure determination: The local atomic structure of simple icosahedral (si) Ho11Mg15Zn74 [a(6D)=5.144(3)A] in a sphere of up to r=17A was refined using the atomic pair distribution function (PDF) from in-house X-ray powder diffraction data (MoKa1, Qmax=13.5A-1; R=20.4%). The basic building block is a 105-atom Bergman-Cluster {Ho8Mg12Zn85}. Its center is occupied by a Zn atom - in contrast to a void in face centred icosahedral (fci) Ho9Mg26Zn65. The center is then surrounded by another 12 Zn atoms, forming an icosahedron (1st shell). The 2nd shell is made up of 8 Ho atoms arranged on the vertices of a cube which in turn is completed to a pentagon dodecahedron by 12 Mg atoms, the dodecahedron then being capped by 12 Zn atoms. The 3rd shell is a distorted soccer ball of 60 Zn atoms, reflecting the higher Zn content of the si phase compared to the fci phase. In our model, 7% of all atoms are situated in between the clusters. The model corresponds to a hypothetical 1/1-approximant of the icosahedral (i) phase. The local coordinations of the single atoms are of a much distorted Frank-Kasper type and call to mind those present in 0/1-Mg2Zn11.

description: We determine the critical equation of state of three-dimensional randomly dilute Ising systems, i.e. of the random-exchange Ising universality class. We first consider the small-magnetization expansion of the Helmholtz free energy in the high-temperature phase. Then, we apply a systematic approximation scheme of the equation of state in the whole critical regime, that is based on polynomial parametric representations matching the small-magnetization of the Helmholtz free energy and satisfying a global stationarity condition. These results allow us to estimate several universal amplitude ratios, such as the ratio A^+/A^- of the specific-heat amplitudes. Our best estimate A^+/A^-=1.6(3) is in good agreement with experimental results on dilute uniaxial antiferromagnets.

description: While recent advances in intracortical brain-computer interfaces (iBCI) have demonstrated the ability to restore motor and communication functions, such demonstrations have generally been confined to controlled experimental settings and have required bulky laboratory hardware. Here, we developed and evaluated a self-contained portable iBCI that enabled the user to interact with various computer programs. The iBCI, which weighs 1.5 kg, consists of digital headstages, a small signal processing hub, and a tablet PC. A human participant tested the portable iBCI in laboratory and home settings under an FDA Investigational Device Exemption (NCT01894802). The participant successfully completed 96% of trials in a 2D cursor center-out task with the portable iBCI, a rate indistinguishable from that achieved with the standard laboratory iBCI. The participant also completed a variety of free-form tasks, including drawing, gaming, and typing.

description: Quantum error mitigation (QEM) is vital for noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices. While most conventional QEM schemes assume discrete gate-based circuits with noise appearing either before or after each gate, the assumptions are inappropriate for describing realistic noise that may have strong gate-dependence and complicated nonlocal effects, and general computing models such as analog quantum simulators. To address these challenges, we first extend the scenario, where each computation process, being either digital or analog, is described by a continuous time evolution. For noise from imperfections of the engineered Hamiltonian or additional noise operators, we show it can be effectively suppressed by a novel stochastic QEM method. Since our method only assumes accurate single qubit controls, it is applicable to all digital quantum computers and various analog simulators. Meanwhile, errors in the mitigation procedure can be suppressed by leveraging the Richardson extrapolation method. As we numerically test our method with various Hamiltonians under energy relaxation and dephasing noise and digital quantum circuits with additional two-qubit crosstalk, we show an improvement of simulation accuracy by two orders. We assess the resource cost of our scheme and conclude the feasibility of accurate quantum computing with NISQ devices.

description: The Australian Collaboration for Clinical Assessment in Medicine (ACCLAiM) is a voluntary assessment consortium, involving medical schools nationwide. The aims of ACCLAiM are to benchmark student clinical assessment outcomes and to provide quality assurance (QA) of exit-level Objective Structured Clinical Exams (OSCEs). This study aimed to evaluate the impact of the ACCLAiM QA process for optimising OSCE delivery standards at the member schools using a Community of Practice (CoP) framework. A mixed methods sequential explanatory design, involving an online questionnaire and subsequent focus group discussions, was utilised. Questionnaire responses were analysed using descriptive statistics, while thematic analysis was employed for the qualitative data. Data analysis revealed that school-specific OSCE practices had evolved based on QA feedback, as well as a collaborative sharing of expertise consistent with a CoP model. Extending beyond a QA working group for accountability and demonstration of minimum standards, participation in ACCLAiM QA processes is creating a sustainable socio-academic network focused on quality improvement. Collaborative QA in clinical assessment creates opportunities for optimising standards in OSCE processes and sharing of resources for OSCE assessments. It also allows for professional development and scholarly engagement in assessment research. These benefits contribute to the existence of an emergent CoP model.

description: 5. Sonoma nicholsae new species
Fig. 5, 22; Map 2
 Description. Holotype, male. Measurements: head 0.30 long, 0.38 wide; pronotum 0.42 long, 0.42 wide; elytra 0.50 long, 0.32 wide; antennomeres 1-11 total 0.90; total length 2.02.
 Head. Eyes small, maximum length in dorsal view 2/3 length of first antennal segment, with approximately 25 facets. Antennomere 2 equal to width of 1; 3 smallest.
 Thorax. Elytra with row of approximately 5 small sutural foveae in basal 1/3; central row of 3 foveae in basal 2/5. Presumed brachypterous.
 Abdomen. Tergite one without transverse patch of microtrichia. No abdominal foveae. Basal pubescence present on all visible ventrites.
 Aedeagus. Compact; apex of endophallus extending beyond parameres. Left paramere: robust; dorsolateral shelf 1/2 from apex with 6 thick setae; distal 1/3 evenly acuminate, apex hooked. Endophallus: lateral digitate process long, broad, ventrad from right paramere; sides divergent in apical 2/5; apex with large acute hook on left and rounded shelf on right. Right paramere: widened at base, dorsal lateral setose process elongate, with 5 apical setae; lateral constriction at level of digitate process of endophallus wide; apex abruptly curved mesally. Course, irregular tubercles present on mesal aspects of parameres.
 Type Material. Holotype, male: * U.S.A., NC, Haywood Co. GSMNP, Chestnut Branch Trail 83 o 07’24” W, 35 o 45’34” N elv. 740m, leaf litter Berlese 1 August 2001, A. Tishechkin / LSAM0002378 (1M). Deposited in FMNH.
 Paratype (n=1). UNITED STATES: NORTH CAROLINA: Swain Co.: * USA NC. Dirt Rd. from Heintooga Overlook to Cherokee / Lot #77-89 June 27, 1977 Berlesate 5100’-4900’ R.Chenowith & J.Heiss / LSAM 0002044 (1M).
 Geographical Distribution. Specimens have been collected in GSMNP in Haywood and Swain counties, North Carolina between 740-1550 m elevation.
 Comments. Specimens have been collected in June and August from leaf litter and extracted with a Berlese funnel.
 Sonoma nicholsae has aedeagal characters unlike any other Sonoma, although it bears a superficial resemblance to S. gimmeli. The apical hooks on the parameres and endophallus of S. nicholsae, the lack of an apical hook on the left paramere, and the blunt subapical hook of the right paramere of S. gimmeli will serve to distinguish these two species.
 Etymology. This species is named for Rebecca “Becky” Jo Nichols, Entomologist at GSMNP, and a supporter and promoter of the All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory in GSMNP.

description: The production of heavy nuclides from the spallation-evaporation reaction of 238U induced by 1 GeV protons was studied in inverse kinematics. The evaporation residues from tungsten to uranium were identified in-flight in mass and atomic number. Their production cross-sections and their momentum distributions were determined. The data are compared with empirical systematics. A comparison with previous results from the spallation of 208Pb and 197Au reveals the strong influence of fission in the spallation of 238U.

description: The Holmboe wave instability is one of the classic examples of a stratified shear instability, usually explained as the result of a resonance between a gravity wave and a vorticity wave. Historically, it has been studied by linear stability analyses at infinite Reynolds number, $Re$, and by direct numerical simulations at relatively low $Re$ in the regions known to be unstable from the inviscid linear stability results. In this paper, we perform linear stability analyses of the classical `Hazel model' of a stratified shear layer (where the background velocity and density distributions are assumed to take the functional form of hyperbolic tangents with different characteristic vertical scales) over a range of different parameters at finite $Re$, finding new unstable regions of parameter space. In particular, we find instability when the Richardson number is everywhere greater than $1/4$, where the flow would be stable at infinite $Re$ by the Miles-Howard theorem. We find unstable modes with no critical layer, and show that despite the necessity of viscosity for the new instability, the growth rate relative to diffusion of the background profile is maximised at large $Re$. We use these results to shed new light on the wave-resonance and over-reflection interpretations of stratified shear instability. We argue for a definition of Holmboe instability as being characterised by propagating vortices above or below the shear layer, as opposed to any reference to sharp density interfaces.

description: Assessing learners’ competence in diagnostic reasoning is challenging and unstandardized in medical education. We developed a theory-informed, behaviorally anchored rubric, the Assessment of Reasoning Tool (ART), with content and response process validity. This study gathered evidence to support the internal structure and the interpretation of measurements derived from this tool. We derived a reconstructed version of ART (ART-R) as a 15-item, 5-point Likert scale using the ART domains and descriptors. A psychometric evaluation was performed. We created 18 video variations of learner oral presentations, portraying different performance levels of the ART-R. 152 faculty viewed two videos and rated the learner globally and then using the ART-R. The confirmatory factor analysis showed a favorable comparative fit index = 0.99, root mean square error of approximation = 0.097, and standardized root mean square residual = 0.026. The five domains, hypothesis-directed information gathering, problem representation, prioritized differential diagnosis, diagnostic evaluation, and awareness of cognitive tendencies/emotional factors, had high internal consistency. The total score for each domain had a positive association with the global assessment of diagnostic reasoning. Our findings provide validity evidence for the ART-R as an assessment tool with five theoretical domains, internal consistency, and association with global assessment.

description: During the last few years, a number of exceptional core-collapse supernovae (SNe) have been discovered. Their kinetic energy of the explosions are larger by more than an order of magnitude than the typical values for this type of SNe, so that these SNe have been called `Hypernovae'. We first describe how the basic properties of hypernovae can be derived from observations and modeling. These hypernovae seem to come from rather massive stars, thus forming black holes. On the other hand, there are some examples of massive SNe with only a small kinetic energy. We suggest that stars with non-rotating black holes are likely to collapse "quietly" ejecting a small amount of heavy elements (Faint supernovae). In contrast, stars with rotating black holes are likely to give rise to very energetic supernovae (Hypernovae). We present distinct nucleosynthesis features of these two types of "black-hole-forming" supernovae. Hypernova nucleosynthesis is characterized by larger abundance ratios (Zn,Co,V,Ti)/Fe and smaller (Mn,Cr)/Fe. Nucleosynthesis in Faint supernovae is characterized by a large amount of fall-back. We show that the abundance pattern of the most Fe deficient star, HE0107-5240, and other extremely metal-poor carbon-rich stars are in good accord with those of black-hole-forming supernovae, but not pair-instability supernovae. This suggests that black-hole-forming supernovae made important contributions to the early Galactic (and cosmic) chemical evolution.
