description: Additional file 9. Alignment of the template and variable repeats from the Quimbyvirus DGRs. The template repeat (TR) from Quimbyvirus is the first listed sequence and is followed by the variable repeats from either ORF80 (VR1) or ORF 47 (VR2) encoded in phage genomes that are nearly identical to Quimbyvirus (> 95 % average nucleotide identity). A total of 21 adenine residues (green) in the template repeat exhibit a least one substitution in a corresponding variable repeat.

description: Distancing—a cognitive reappraisal strategy—increases conciliatory policy support (i.e., policies redressing inequity) by reducing anger. Related but distinct research has used construal level theory (CLT), which explains the relationship between psychological distance and mental representations (e.g., events and attitudes), to explore intergroup relations. CLT demonstrates increased psychological distance induces abstract thinking, which leads to high-level construal (HLC) mindsets. HLC mindsets, like distancing, decrease political polarization and prejudice toward out-groups. As both distancing (an appraisal technique) and HLC mindsets (a potential outcome of appraisal techniques) may decrease political polarization and prejudice toward outgroups, across two experiments, the present work investigated whether HLC mindsets—and not specific (re)appraisal techniques—decrease anger, which, then, increase conciliatory policy support. In Study 1, participants were trained to apply either distancing, HLC, or LLC appraisal training (developed for this study) to examine if they produced HLC or LLC mindsets. In Study 2, conservative White Americans applied these appraisal training on images that induced anger toward Black people to examine HLC mindsets’ influence on anger and conciliatory policy support. I expected: (1) distancing and HLC appraisals to yield HLC mindsets (Study 1 and 2) and (2) HLC mindsets (yielded from distancing and HLC appraisals) to increase policy support through anger reduction (Study 2). Results partially supported hypothesis 1, whereby HLC appraisals consistently led to HLC mindsets. Counter to hypothesis 2, however, HLC mindsets decreased conciliatory policy support by increasing anger. Altogether, findings suggest distancing might not lead to HLC mindsets, but that HLC mindsets may decrease conservative White Americans’ conciliatory policy support for Black Americans by exacerbating anger.

description: The exploration of topological phases in carbon allotropes offers a fascinating avenue to realize topological devices based on carbon materials. Here, using first-principles calculations, we propose a novel metastable carbon allotrope, which possesses exotically helical carbon chains bridged by quadrangle-rings. This unique structure with sp2-sp3 bonding networks crystallizes in a noncentrosymmetric face-centered orthogonal (fco) lattice with six atoms in a unit cell, thus named fco-C6. The considerable stability of fco-C6 is confirmed by phonon spectra, elastic constants, and ab initio molecular dynamics simulations. More importantly, fco-C6 exhibits extraordinary electronic properties with the minimum number of Weyl points in a time-reversal preserved Weyl system. The symmetry arguments reveal that the Weyl points are guaranteed to lie along the high-symmetry pathes and thus well separated in momentum space, exhibiting the robustness of topologically protected features. We investigate the topological surface states of fco-C6 projected on a semi-infinite (010) surface. There are only nontrivial Fermi arcs across the Fermi surface, which facilitates their measurements in experiments and further applications in carbon allotropes.

title: Satisfaction with time use and its relationship with subjective well-being
Creators: name: Boniwell, Ilona
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2006

description: Much research on time use has been based on assumptions about clock and calendar time. Less is known about how people experience their time use, what makes people satisfied with their time use and about the nature of the relationship between the use of time and well-being. This thesis addressed these questions though literature reviews of well-being and time-use and two empirical studies.

The first study employed a qualitative design using semi-structured in-depth interviews with 21 purposefully selected participants. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) was used to analyse the data. The ten super-ordinate themes that emerged from the data as contributing to satisfaction with time use were allocated into four overarching categories: Motivation, Organisation, Execution and Evaluation.

The objectives of the second quantitative study were to investigate if key themes identified in the previous study would be replicated with a larger sample and to examine relationships between satisfaction with time use, subjective well-being, and locus of control. The study employed a survey design using postal questionnaires, completed by 173 randomly selected Open University students. A factor analysis of the time use questionnaire produced four factors: liking what one does and perceiving it as worthwhile; balance; achievement and responsibility; time anxiety and lack of control. These factors accounted for 40% of the variance in satisfaction with time use. Satisfaction with time use was also found to correlate significantly with various wellbeing measures.

The studies highlighted a number of factors contributing to satisfaction with time use previously ignored or under-researched in the time use literature, including motivation for time use activities, perceived balance in time allocation, taking responsibility for one's time, and the sense of achievement. The findings suggest that in terms of satisfaction with time use, time use interventions might be more helpful if focused on psychological aspects of time use, and less on time management techniques.
title: Quantifying biotic interactions with inshore subtidal structures: comparisons between artificial and natural reefs
Creators: name: Beaumont, Jennifer
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2006

description: Artificial reefs have been deployed purposely worldwide to influence physical and biological processes around coastlines and in inshore waters; often to augment recreational diving and fishing, support environmental mitigation and habitat restoration and, more recently, for scientific research. The aims of this project were to develop standardised methods and protocols for use in artificial reef studies and to establish whether there were differences in the productivity and biotic interactions between artificial and nearby natural rocky reefs in Loch Linnhe, west coast of Scotland. A comparative study was carried out to evaluate methods used in the assessment of subtidal epibiotic assemblage structure followed by a detailed study to compare epibiotic recruitment to artificial and natural reefs using PVC plastic recruitment panels. Predator exclusion cages were used to assess the effects of predation on epifaunal recruitment at different locations. Epifaunal biomass on concrete reef blocks and infaunal biomass in soft sediments surrounding the artificial reef complex was determined and an estimate made of relative productivity between the Loch Linnhe artificial reef modules and their receiving environment. Finally, the trophic dynamics of artificial and natural reefs were investigated through the use of stable isotope ratios. These studies showed that post-settlement processes appear to be controlling differences in epifaunal recruitment to artificial and natural reefs in Loch Linnhe. Vertically orientated PVC recruitment panels, combined with galvanised wire mesh predator exclusion cages, are recommended for use in comparative recruitment studies of subtidal artificial and natural reefs. It was also concluded that the Loch Linnhe artificial reef complex has increased the productivity to the local area and that the construction design of these artificial reefs would be a suitable option, with respect to the development of biological communities, for future artificial structures such as breakwaters.

description: Large deviation results are given for a class of perturbed nonhomogeneous Markov chains on finite state space which formally includes some stochastic optimization algorithms. Specifically, let {P_n} be a sequence of transition matrices on a finite state space which converge to a limit transition matrix P. Let {X_n} be the associated nonhomogeneous Markov chain where P_n controls movement from time n-1 to n. The main statements are a large deviation principle and bounds for additive functionals of the nonhomogeneous process under some regularity conditions. In particular, when P is reducible, three regimes that depend on the decay of certain ``connection'' P_n probabilities are identified. Roughly, if the decay is too slow, too fast or in an intermediate range, the large deviation behavior is trivial, the same as the time-homogeneous chain run with P or nontrivial and involving the decay rates. Examples of anomalous behaviors are also given when the approach P_n\to P is irregular. Results in the intermediate regime apply to geometrically fast running optimizations, and to some issues in glassy physics.

description: The first inspiral of two neutron stars observed in gravitational waves was remarkably close, allowing the kind of simultaneous gravitational wave and electromagnetic observation that had not been expected for several years. Their merger, followed by a gamma-ray burst and a kilonova, was observed across the spectral bands of electromagnetic telescopes. These GW and electromagnetic observations have led to dramatic advances in understanding short gamma-ray bursts; determining the origin of the heaviest elements; and determining the maximum mass of neutron stars. From the imprint of tides on the gravitational waveforms and from observations of X-ray binaries, one can extract the radius and deformability of inspiraling neutron stars. Together, the radius, maximum mass, and causality constrain the neutron-star equation of state, and future constraints can come from observations of post-merger oscillations. We selectively review these results, filling in some of the physics with derivations and estimates.

We find that the average collision frequency in the q-distributed plasma also depends strongly on the q-parameter and thus is generally different from that in the Maxwell-distributed plasma, which therefore modifies the transport coefficients in the previous studies of the weakly ionized plasmas with the power-law velocity distributions.

description: We have analyzed HST spectroscopy of 24 nearby AGNs to investigate spatially-resolved gas kinematics in the Narrow Line Region (NLR). These observations effectively isolate the nuclear line profiles on less than 100 pc scales and are used to investigate the origin of the substantial scatter between the widths of strong NLR lines and the stellar velocity dispersion sigma_* of the host galaxy, a quantity which relates with substantially less scatter to the mass of the central, supermassive black hole, and more generally characterize variations in the NLR velocity field with radius. We find that line widths measured with STIS at a range of spatial scales systematically underestimate both sigma_* and the line width measured from ground-based observations, although they do have comparably large scatter to the relation between ground-based NLR line width and sigma_*. There are no obvious trends in the residuals when compared with a range of host galaxy and nuclear properties. The widths and asymmetries of [OIII] 5007 and [SII] 6716, 6731 as a function of radius exhibit a wide range of behavior. Some of the most common phenomena are substantial width increases from the STIS to the large-scale, ground-based aperture and almost no change in line profile between the unresolved nuclear spectrum and ground-based measurements. We identify asymmetries in a surprisingly large fraction of low-ionization [SII] line profiles and several examples of substantial red asymmetries in both [OIII] and [SII]. These results underscore the complexity of the circumnuclear material that constitutes the NLR and suggest that the scatter in the NLR width and sigma_* correlation can not be substantially reduced with a simple set of empirical relations.

description: We investigate how a different calibration of the Cepheid Period-Luminosity (PL) relation taking into account the metallicity corrections, affects the absolute magnitude calibration of Supernovae (SNe) Ia and, in turn, the determination of the Hubble constant H_0. We exploit SN Ia light curves from literature and previously unpublished data, to build the M_B -- Delta m_{15}(B) relation and we calibrate the zero point by means of 9 type Ia SNe with Cepheid measured distances. This relation was then used to build the Hubble diagram and in turn to derive H_0. In the attempt to correct for the host galaxy extinction, we found that the data seems to suggest a value for the total to selective absorption ratio, R_B=3.5, which is smaller than the standard value for our own Galaxy R_B=4.315. Depending on different metallicity corrections for the Cepheids P-L relation, values of R_B and SN sample selection criteria, we found that the values of the Hubble constant H_0 is in the range 68--74 km s^{-1} Mpc^{-1}, with associated uncertainties of the order of 10%. Unpublished photometry is also presented for 18 SNe of our sample (1991S, 1991T, 1992A, 1992K, 1993H, 1993L, 1994D, 1994M, 1994ae, 1995D, 1995ac, 1995bd, 1996bo, 1997bp, 1997br, 1999aa, 1999dk, 2000cx), which are the results of a long standing effort for supernova monitoring at ESO - La Silla and Asiago Observatories.

Robust subset selection

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Methodology (stat.ME)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: The best subset selection (or "best subsets") estimator is a classic tool for sparse regression, and developments in mathematical optimization over the past decade have made it more computationally tractable than ever. Notwithstanding its desirable statistical properties, the best subsets estimator is susceptible to outliers and can break down in the presence of a single contaminated data point. To address this issue, a robust adaption of best subsets is proposed that is highly resistant to contamination in both the response and the predictors. The adapted estimator generalizes the notion of subset selection to both predictors and observations, thereby achieving robustness in addition to sparsity. This procedure, referred to as "robust subset selection" (or "robust subsets"), is defined by a combinatorial optimization problem for which modern discrete optimization methods are applied. The robustness of the estimator in terms of the finite-sample breakdown point of its objective value is formally established. In support of this result, experiments on synthetic and real data are reported that demonstrate the superiority of robust subsets over best subsets in the presence of contamination. Importantly, robust subsets fares competitively across several metrics compared with popular robust adaptions of continuous shrinkage estimators.

description: In this Letter we show that the vacuum polarization of quantum fields in an anti-de Sitter space naturally gives rise to a small but nonzero cosmological constant in a brane world living in it. To explain the extremely small ratio of mass density in the cosmological constant to the Planck mass density in our universe (\approx 10^{-123}) as suggested by cosmological observations, all we need is a four-dimensional brane world (our universe) living in a five-dimensional anti-de Sitter space with a curvature radius r_0 \sim 10^{-3}cm and a fundamental Planck energy M_P \sim 10^9 GeV, and a scalar field with a mass m \sim r_0^{-1}\sim 10^{-2}eV. Probing gravity down to a scale \sim 10^{-3}cm, which is attainable in the near future, will provide a test of the model.

 Holotype: MCNM 1.01 / 659, 27 / 11 / 2002, Cabo Haro, (Guaymas, Sonora) 15 m (27 ◦ 52 ′ 5 ′′ N, 110 ◦ 57 ′ 1 ′′ W). Paratype: 769-LEB-ICML-UNAM, 27 / 11 / 2002, Cabo Haro, (Guaymas, Sonora), 15 m (27 ◦ 52 ′ 5 ′′ N, 110 ◦ 57 ′ 1 ′′ W).    Description
Encrusting sponge, size 2–5 cm length × 1–2 cm width and 3–5 mm thick. Oscules and ostia not visible. Surface smooth. Consistency flexible and difficult to tear. Colour in life red, pale in preservation (Figure 14B).   Skeleton
 Choanosomal subtylostyles with a pronounced head or modified to style: 200–575 × 7.5–15 µm (Figures 17A, 18A). Acanthostyles with swollen head with prominent spines. These spines are arranged as a crown around the head: 70–200 × 2.5–7.5 µm (Figures 17B, C, 18B). Straight or curved subectosomal styles / anisoxeas: 330–460 × 1.75–2.5 µm (Figures 17D, 18C) (Table 9). The ectosomal skeleton is absent. The choanosomal skeleton has a hymedesmoid structure. Main subtylostyles and acanthostyles are embedded in a spongin layer (10–25 µm thick). The styles / anisoxeas are dispersed in trichodragmas in the subectosomal region (Figure 18D).    Remarks
 Eurypon tylospinosum sp. nov. is a subtidal species distributed from the Gulf of California. It is characterized by having acanthostyles with swollen head and with prominent spines, which are arranged as a crown around the head. The only species described worldwide that have these features are E. simplex (Bowerbank 1874) and E. coronula (Bowerbank 1874) (Table 12). Eurypon simplex (Bowerbank 1874) is a yellow encrusting sponge described from the Shetland Islands. It has tylostyles (2116 × 27.1 µm) and acanthostyles (105.8–218.9 × 8.4 µm). The tylostyles are shorter in E. tylospinosum sp. nov. than in E. simplex. Besides, E. tylospinosum sp. nov. has subectosomal styles which are lacking in E. simplex. Eurypon coronula (Bowerbank 1874) is a grey encrusting sponge recorded from the Shetland Islands. It has tylostyles (635–1411 µm) and acanthostyles (254 µm). The tylostyles are longer in E. coronula than in E. tylospinosum sp. nov. The remaining species assigned to the genus Eurypon have spicules in a different category or length than E. tylospinosum sp. nov. (Table 12).    Etymology
Named tylospinosum by the swollen and spiny head of the acanthostyles.

description: We consider optimal cloning of the spin coherent states in Hilbert spaces of different dimensionality d. We give explicit form of optimal cloning transformation for spin coherent states in the three-dimensional space, analytical results for the fidelity of the optimal cloning in d=3 and d=4 as well as numerical results for higher dimensions. In the low-dimensional case we construct the corresponding completely positive maps and exhibit their structure with the help of Jamiolkowski isomorphism. This allows us to formulate some conjectures about the form of optimal coherent cloning CP maps in arbitrary dimension.

description: The surface impedance approach is discussed in connection with the precise calculation of the Casimir force between metallic plates. It allows to take into account the nonlocal connection between the current density and electric field inside of metals. In general, a material has to be described by two impedances $Z_{s}(ω,q)$ and $Z_{p}(ω,q)$ corresponding to two different polarization states. In contrast with the approximate Leontovich impedance they depend not only on frequency $ω$ but also on the wave vector along the plate $q$. In this paper only the nonlocal effects happening at frequencies $ω

Investigating the Late Stages of Stellar Evolution with Long Period Variables from MACHO and 2MASS

description: We are re-analyzing the MACHO variable star database to explore the relationships between pulsation, evolution, and mass loss in evolved stars. We will analyze the multi-periodic properties of long period variable (LPV) stars, 50% of which could not be assigned any period in the original analysis. Recent results show that the missing stars may be an important element in understanding the origin of the period-luminosity sequences observed in the LMC. Our goal is to characterize the morphology and periodic properties of these stars, and then use the stars' 2MASS colors along with theoretical isochrones to understand their mass loss and evolution. We will develop a luminosity-independent criteria to classify the LMC LPVs, which can then be applied to Galactic LPVs. This will enable a synthesis of knowledge between LPVs in the LMC and the well-studied Galactic examples.

Optical computation of divergence operation for vector field

description: Topological physics desires stable methods to measure the polarization singularities in optical vector fields. Here a periodic plasmonic metasurface is proposed to perform divergence computation of vectorial paraxial beams. We design such an optical device to compute spatial differentiation along two directions, parallel and perpendicular to the incident plane, simultaneously. The divergence operation is achieved by creating the constructive interference between two derivative results. We demonstrate that such optical computations provide a new direct pathway to elucidate specific polarization singularities of vector fields.

REMARKS
Fossils were only collected by surface picking around the archaeocete whale carcasses (protocetids and basilosaurids, see Gingerich & Zouhri 2015), and thus the majority of small to medium-sized sharks and rays remain currently unknown.Thousands of specimens were collected from several localities around Gueran Depression (Locality I, Garouaz, Iddir and Laazri, see Gingerich & Zouhri 2015: fig.2).The majority of the fossil material consists of isolated teeth, rare barbs of myliobatid rays, and indeterminate vertebrae representing at least 12 species of sharks and rays.
The chondrichthyan fauna currently consists of 12 species of elasmobranchs belonging to orders: Lamniformes, Carcharhiniformes and Rhinopristiformes. Most unnamed species are in course of study, awaiting careful comparisons with those from subcontemporaneous deposits (e.g. MI, GE) in Waddi el-Rayyan and Wadi al Hitan (Whale Valley) in Egypt.

description: We construct the QCD equation of state at finite chemical potentials including net baryon, electric charge, and strangeness based on the results of lattice QCD simulations and the hadron resonance gas model. The situation of strangeness neutrality and a fixed charge-to-baryon ratio, which resembles that of heavy nuclei, is considered for the application to relativistic heavy-ion collisions. This increases the values of baryon chemical potential compared to the case of vanishing strangeness and electric charge chemical potentials, modifying the fireball trajectory in the phase diagram. We perform viscous hydrodynamic simulations and demonstrate the importance of multiple chemical potentials for identified particle production in heavy-ion collisions at the RHIC and SPS beam energy scan energies.

description: The results on local existence and continuation criteria obtained by G. Rein in [4] are extended to the case with a non-zero cosmological constant. It is also shown that for the spherically symmetric case and a positive cosmological constant there is a large class of initial data with global existence and inflationary asymptotics in the future as in the case of plane or hyperbolic symmetry treated in [7]. Furthermore we analyze the behaviour of the energy-momentum tensor at late times.
