description: Graphene thermionic electron emission across high-interface-barrier involves energetic electrons residing far away from the Dirac point where the Dirac cone approximation of the band structure breaks down. Here we construct a full-band model beyond the simple Dirac cone approximation for the thermionic injection of high-energy electrons in graphene. We show that the thermionic emission model based on the Dirac cone approximation is valid only in the graphene/semiconductor Schottky interface operating near room temperature, but breaks down in the cases involving high-energy electrons, such as graphene/vacuum interface or heterojunction in the presence of photon absorption, where the full-band model is required to account for the band structure nonlinearity at high electron energy. We identify a critical barrier height, $Φ_B^{(\text{c})} \approx 3.5$ eV, beyond which the Dirac cone approximation crosses over from underestimation to overestimation. In the high-temperature thermionic emission regime at graphene/vacuum interface, the Dirac cone approximation severely overestimates the electrical and heat current densities by more than 50\% compared to the more accurate full-band model. The large discrepancies between the two models are demonstrated using a graphene-based thermionic cooler. These findings reveal the fallacy of Dirac cone approximation in the thermionic injection of high-energy electrons in graphene. The full-band model developed here can be readily generalized to other 2D materials, and shall provide an improved theoretical avenue for the accurate analysis, modeling and design of graphene-based thermionic energy devices.

description: During ethnographic research on HIV-positive pregnant women in Lesotho, I found myself confronted with conflicting narratives, but what we do know is that MaMeli’s baby passed away the day after she gave birth in the hospital. Trying to reconstruct what had happened, I interviewed the young mother, her mother-in-law, a midwife, and a paediatrician. Their stories differed significantly from each other. Yet, despite the inconsistencies between them, they proved valuable for my study. Ethnographic storytelling can reveal an informant’s present view on past occurrences and give insights into the social roles of narrator and audience. A narration always implies two time periods: the past situation as experienced (erzählte Zeit) and the situation now when the occurrence is being interpreted (Erzählzeit). Hence, whilst analysing the stories did not bring me any closer to understanding what had happened to the baby, an examination of the four versions taught me much about each narrator’s present situation and how they related to each other. In other words, the different renderings of the event allowed an understanding of the hegemony of interpretation. I argue in this paper that contradictions in narratives are more a chance than a challenge for ethnographic writing. I call on anthropologists not to erase out inconclusive stories in their ethnographic data but to delve into them and to find plausible explanations for why it is not possible to achieve conclusive solutions.

description: The prognostic value of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) response for efficacy of targeted therapy or immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has not been established. The purpose of this meta-analysis is to elucidate the relationship between AFP response and survival outcomes in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients who received targeted therapy or ICIs. The hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) was used to evaluate the relationship between AFP response and overall survival (OS)/progression-free survival (PFS). Twenty-six articles containing 3056 HCC patients were finally included in the study. The pooled results showed that after targeted therapy or ICIs, patients with decrease in AFP had better prognosis (OS:HR = 0.48, 95%CI:0.40–0.56; PFS:HR = 0.39, 95%CI:0.33–0.46), while patients with increase in AFP had worse prognosis (OS:HR = 2.30, 95%CI:1.82–2.89; PFS:HR = 2.34, 95%CI = 1.69–3.24). Subgroup analysis revealed that compared to AFP decrease >50%, AFP decrease >20% can better predict the prognosis of patients who received targeted therapy (OS:HR = 0.51, 95%CI:0.41–0.62; PFS:HR = 0.39, 95%CI:0.30–0.51) or ICIs treatment (OS:HR = 0.34, 95%CI:0.16–0.71; PFS:HR = 0.22, 95%CI:0.10–0.47), and 8 weeks after targeted therapy may be the appropriate time point for AFP assessment. AFP decrease >20% within 8 weeks may be the appropriate definition for early AFP response which probably works best in predicting the efficacy of therapy. The review was not registered.
Refracting into Ultra Diffuse Galaxy NGC 1052-DF2 by Passing near the Center of NGC 1052

description: The recent observation of the ultra-diffuse galaxy NGC 1052-DF2 shows a galaxy may lack dark matter. Usually dark matter is much more abundant than stellar in galaxy environment. This dark matter to baryon mass ratio is generally larger than the cosmological ratio of about five, since a significant part of baryon is diffused in the form of intergalactic medium. How to achieve such a low dark matter to baryon mass ratio is a challenge to the standard galaxy formation mechanism. Here we show that such a low ratio can be a natural consequence if the NGC 1052-DF2 had experienced a single passage within a few kpcs to the center of galaxy NGC 1052. The tidal effect of NGC 1052 in the encounter will heat the NGC 1052-DF2 up, stretch the previous dwarf galaxy significantly into its current size. The relative lacking of dark matter in the observed region is a natural consequence of the dark matter extended distribution and relatively less concentration in the corresponding central region before encounter, together with a systematic underestimation of the trace mass estimator method during relaxation after encounter. The observed flat distribution of the ultra-diffuse galaxy can be reproduced. Our results shows no need of introducing any new physical mechanism.

description: Red clump (RC) stars are widely used as an excellent standard candle. To make them even better, it is important to know the dependence of their absolute magnitudes on age and metallicity. We observed star clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud to fill age and metallicity parameter space, which previous work has not observationally studied. We obtained the empirical relations of the age and metallicity dependence of absolute magnitudes $M_{J}$, $M_{H}$, and $M_{K_{S}}$, and colours $J - H$, $J - K_{S}$, and $H - K_{S}$ of RC stars, although the coefficients have large errors. Mean near-infrared magnitudes of the RC stars in the clusters show relatively strong dependence on age for young RC stars. The $J - K_{S}$ and $H - K_{S}$ colours show the nearly constant values of $0.528 \pm 0.015$ and $0.047 \pm 0.011$, respectively, at least within the ages of 1.1--3.2 Gyr and [Fe/H] of $-0.90$ to $-0.40$ dex. We also confirmed that the population effects of observational data are in good agreement with the model prediction.

description: Superconducting MgB(2) films with Tc = 38.6 K were prepared using a precursor-deposition, ex-situ post-processing approach. Precursor films of boron, ~0.5 micrometer thick, were deposited onto Al(2)O(3) (102) substrates by e-beam evaporation; a post-anneal at 890 deg C in the presence of bulk MgB(2) and Mg metal produced highly crystalline MgB(2) films. X-ray diffraction indicated that the films exhibit some degree of c-axis alignment, but are randomly oriented in-plane. Transport current measurements of the superconducting properties show high values of the critical current density and yield an irreversibility line that exceeds that determined by magnetic measurements on bulk polycrystalline materials.

A Maximum Parsimony analysis of the effect of the environment on the evolution of galaxies

description: Context. Galaxy evolution and the effect of environment are most often studied using scaling relations or some regression analyses around some given property. These approaches however do not take into account the complexity of the physics of the galaxies and their diversification. Aims. We here investigate the effect of cluster environment on the evolution of galaxies through multivariate unsupervised classification and phylogenetic analyses applied to two relatively large samples from the WINGS survey, one of cluster members and one of field galaxies (2624 and 1476 objects respectively). Methods. These samples are the largest ones ever analysed with a phylogenetic approach in astrophysics. To be able to use the Maximum Parsimony (cladistics) method, we first performed a pre-clustering in 300 clusters with a hierarchical clustering technique, before applying it to these pre-clusters. All these computations used seven parameters: B-V, log(Re), nV , $μ$e , H$β$ , D4000 , log(M *). Results. We have obtained a tree for the combined samples and do not find different evolutionary paths for cluster and field galaxies. However, the cluster galaxies seem to have accelerated evolution in the sense they are statistically more diversified from a primitive common ancestor. The separate analyses show a hint for a slightly more regular evolution of the variables for the cluster galaxies, which may indicate they are more homogeneous as compared to field galaxies in the sense that the groups of the latter appear to have more specific properties. On the tree for the cluster galaxies, there is a separate branch which gathers rejunevated or stripped-off groups of galaxies. This branch is clearly visible on the colour-magnitude diagram, going back from the red sequence towards the blue one. On this diagram, the distribution and the evolutionary paths of galaxies are strikingly different for the two samples. Globally, we do not find any dominant variable able to explain either the groups or the tree structures. Rather, co-evolution appears everywhere, and could depend itself on environment or mass. Conclusions. This study is another demonstration that unsupervised machine learning is able to go beyond the simple scaling relations by taking into account several properties together. The phylogenetic approach is invaluable to trace the evolutionary scenarii and project them onto any biavariate diagram without any a priori modelling. Our WINGS galaxies are all at low redshift, and we now need to go to higher redshfits to find more primitve galaxies and complete the map of the evolutionary paths of present day galaxies.

description: Computer vision (CV) techniques try to mimic human capabilities of visual perception to support labor-intensive and time-consuming tasks like the recognition and localization of critical objects. Nowadays, CV increasingly relies on artificial intelligence (AI) to automatically extract useful information from images that can be utilized for decision support and business process automation. However, the focus of extant research is often exclusively on technical aspects when designing AI-based CV systems while neglecting socio-technical facets, such as trust, control, and autonomy. For this purpose, we consider the design of such systems from a hybrid intelligence (HI) perspective and aim to derive prescriptive design knowledge for CV-based HI systems. We apply a reflective, practice-inspired design science approach and accumulate design knowledge from six comprehensive CV projects. As a result, we identify four design-related mechanisms (i.e., automation, signaling, modification, and collaboration) that inform our derived meta-requirements and design principles. This can serve as a basis for further socio-technical research on CV-based HI systems.

description: We report the observation of superconductivity in high-quality Cd$_2$Re$_2$O$_7$ single crystals with room-temperature pyrochlore structure. Resistivity and ac susceptibility measurements establish an onset transition temperature T$_c^{onset}$ = 1.47 K with transition width $Δ$T$_c$ = 0.25 K. In applied magnetic field, the resistive transition shows a type-II character, with an approximately linear temperature-dependence of the upper critical field H$_{c2}$. The bulk nature of the superconductivity is confirmed by the specific heat jump with $Δ$C = 37.9 mJ/mol-K. Using the $γ$ value extracted from normal-state specific heat data, we obtain $Δ$C/$γ$T$_c$ = 1.29, close to the weak coupling BCS value. In the normal state, a negative Hall coefficient below 100 K suggests electron-like conduction in this material. The resistivity exhibits a quadratic T-dependence between 2 and 60 K, i.e., $ρ=ρ_0$+AT$^2$, indicative of Fermi-liquid behavior. The values of the Kadowaki-Woods ratio A/$γ^2$ and the Wilson ratio are comparable to that for strongly correlated materials.

description: We report the discovery of extreme X-ray variability in a type 1 quasar: SDSS J$075101.42+291419.1$. It has a black hole mass of $1.6\times 10^7~\rm M_\odot$ measured from reverberation mapping (RM), and the black hole is accreting with a super-Eddington accretion rate. Its XMM-Newton observation in 2015 May reveals a flux drop by a factor of $\sim 22$ with respect to the Swift observation in 2013 May when it showed a typical level of X-ray emission relative to its UV/optical emission. The lack of correlated UV variability results in a steep X-ray-to-optical power-law slope ($α_{\rm OX}$) of -1.97 in the low X-ray flux state, corresponding to an X-ray weakness factor of 36.2 at rest-frame 2 keV relative to its UV/optical luminosity. The mild UV/optical continuum and emission-line variability also suggest that the accretion rate did not change significantly. A single power-law model modified by Galactic absorption describes well the $0.3-10$ keV spectra of the X-ray observations in general. The spectral fitting reveals steep spectral shapes with $Γ\approx3$. We search for active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with such extreme X-ray variability in the literature and find that most of them are narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies and quasars with high accretion rates. The fraction of extremely X-ray variable objects among super-Eddington accreting AGNs is estimated to be $\approx 15-24\%$. We discuss two possible scenarios, disk reflection and partial covering absorption, to explain the extreme X-ray variability of SDSS J$075101.42+291419.1$. We propose a possible origin for the partial covering absorber, which is the thick inner accretion disk and its associated outflow in AGNs with high accretion rates.

description: We perform Monte Carlo simulations of a three-dimensional spin system with a Hamiltonian which contains only four-spin interaction term. This system describes random surfaces with extrinsic curvature - gonihedric action. We study the anisotropic model when the coupling constants $β_S$ for the space-like plaquettes and $β_T$ for the transverse-like plaquettes are different. In the two limits $β_S=0$ and $β_T=0$ the system has been solved exactly and the main interest is to see what happens when we move away from these points towards the isotropic point, where we recover the original model. We find that the phase transition is of first order for $β_T = β_S \approx 0.25,$ while away from this point it becomes weaker and eventually turns to a crossover. The conclusion which can be drown from this result is that the exact solution at the point $β_S =0$ in terms of 2d-Ising model should be considered as a good zero order approximation in the description of the system also at the isotropic point $β_S =β_T$ and clearly confirms the earlier findings that at the isotropic point the original model shows a first order phase transition.

description: We introduce a hard-core lattice-gas model on generalized Bethe lattices and investigate analytically and numerically its compaction behavior. If compactified slowly, the system undergoes a first-order crystallization transition. If compactified much faster, the system stays in a meta-stable liquid state and undergoes a glass transition under further compaction. We show that this behavior is induced by geometrical frustration which appears due to the existence of short loops in the generalized Bethe lattices. We also compare our results to numerical simulations of a three-dimensional analog of the model.

description: Factorio is a game focusing on the design and management of increasingly complex logistics systems. Part of these logistic systems is the mass transportation of different items on transport belts, which provides a vast amount of different problems to solve. In this bachelor thesis we will focus on one of them, namely the load distribution between multiple belts with so called Belt Balancers. We will use Petri Nets to propose a modular system to model such a Belt Balancer and describe Belt Balancer properties commonly used in the Factorio community with linear temporal logic. Additionally we describe methods to manually and automatically verify those with PROMELA. Unfortunately we are not able to actually run those verifications for reasonably sized Belt Balancers due to internal limitations of the SPIN interpreter.

description: To obtain the accuracy now sought in the extragalactic distance scale through standard candles and rulers, calibration of stellar photometry must be improved. The sensitivity of the V-K color surface brightness relation is examined here by means of model atmosphere fluxes. It has previously been neglected, but is shown here to be a significant term in the error budget of a recent high precision distance of the Large Magellanic Cloud, an anchor in galaxy distances based on Cepheids.

 Hippa adactyla Fabricius, 1787: 329. – Haig 1970: 294 (synonymy; neotype designated).
 MATERIAL EXAMINED. — Marquises Islands, French Polynesia. CTT: stn 22, 2 11.0- 20.6 mm, 1 23.4 mm (MNHN-Hi 248).
DISTRIBUTION. — Madagascar eastward to the Marquises Islands, northward to Japan and southward to Queensland, Australia (Haig 1974: 180).
REMARKS
 Hippa adactyla was previously recorded from the Marquises by de Man (1896: 461, 463) as Remipes testudinarius Latreille, 1806 (see Haig 1970: 294), but has not been reported from there subsequently. This species has been reported to have 3-6 antennal flagellum segments in adults (Haig 1974: 179; Boyko & Harvey 1999: 403) but in one small yet mature specimen at hand (MNHN-Hi 248) there are only two segments. This supports the suggestion of Boyko & Harvey (1999: 399) that identifications of Hippa specimens should not be based on single characters as done by some authors, but rather on multiple characters such as the shape of the dactyli, form of the anterior carapace margin and carapace patterning.

description: Understanding the mechanisms of species distribution within ecosystems is a fundamental question of ecological research. The current worldwide changes and loss of habitats associated with a decline in species richness render this topic a key element for developing mitigation strategies. Ecological niche theory is a widely accepted concept to describe species distribution along environmental gradients where each taxon occupies its own distinct set of environmental parameters, that is, its niche. Niche occupation has been described in empirical studies for different closely related taxa, like ant, ungulate, or skink species, just to name a few. However, how species assemblages of whole ecosystems across multiple taxa are structured and organized has not been investigated thoroughly, although considering all taxa of a community would be essential when analyzing realized niches. Here, we investigated the organization of niche occupation and species distribution for the whole ground-associated invertebrate community of small tropical insular ecosystems. By correlating environmental conditions with species occurrences using partial canonical correspondence analysis (pCCA), we demonstrated that the ground-associated invertebrate community does not spread evenly across the overall niche space, but instead is compartmentalized in four distinct clusters: crustacean and gastropod taxa occurred in one cluster, attributable to the beach habitat, whereas hexapods and spider taxa occurred in three distinct inland clusters, attributable to distinct inland habitats, that is, grassland, open forest, and dense forest. Within the clusters, co-occurrence pattern analysis suggested only a few negative interactions between the different taxa. By studying ground-associated insular invertebrate communities, we have shown that species distribution and niche occupation can be, similar to food webs, organized in a compartmentalized way. The compartmentalization of the niche space might thereby be a mechanism to increase ecosystem resilience, as disturbances cascade more slowly throughout the ecosystem.

description: We construct a language for identifying kinematical regions of transversely differential semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering cross sections with particular underlying partonic pictures, especially in regions of moderate to low $Q$ where sensitivity to kinematical effects outside the usual very high energy limit becomes non-trivial. The partonic pictures map to power law expansions whose leading contributions ultimately lead to well-known QCD factorization theorems. We propose methods for estimating the consistency of any particular region of overall hadronic kinematics with the kinematics of a given underlying partonic picture. The basic setup of kinematics of semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering is also reviewed in some detail.

description: Density-functional calculations of the phonon spectrum and electron-phonon coupling in MgB$_2$ are presented. The $E_{2g}$ phonons, which involve in-plane B displacements, couple strongly to the $p_{x,y}$ electronic bands. The isotropic electron-phonon coupling constant is calculated to be about 0.8. Allowing for different order parameters in different bands, the superconducting $λ$ in the clean limit is calculated to be significantly larger. The $E_{2g}$ phonons are strongly anharmonic, and the non-linear contribution to the coupling between the $E_{2g}$ modes and the p$_{x,y}$ bands is significant.

description: We have used an extension of our slow light technique to provide a method for inducing small density defects in a Bose-Einstein condensate. These sub-resolution, micron-sized defects evolve into large amplitude sound waves. We present an experimental observation and theoretical investigation of the resulting breakdown of superfluidity. We observe directly the decay of the narrow density defects into solitons, the onset of the `snake' instability, and the subsequent nucleation of vortices.

description: Novel sulfur-silsesquioxane random copolymer (poly(S-r-POSS)) was synthesized via the radical reaction between liquid sulfur and octavinyl silsesquioxane. Particulate solid POSS was dispersed in molten sulfur and heated in order to initiate the free radical reaction (inverse vulcanization). The appearance of new C–S bonds along with the disappearance of C=C bonds from vinyl groups was confirmed by Raman and FTIR spectroscopy. Moreover, the formation of saturated single C–C bonds from the reacting vinyl groups was revealed by FTIR. Microhomogenity of the copolymer was analyzed by means of SEM-EDS mapping and its thermal properties were studied using the TG-DSC method. After the extraction of free unreacted sulfur and POSS the copolymer exhibits porous micromorphology promising for application in lithium–sulfur batteries or heavy metals ion capturing.

Quantum Interference in Superconducting Wire Networks and Josephson Junction Arrays: Analytical Approach based on Multiple-Loop Aharonov-Bohm Feynman Path-Integrals

description: We investigate analytically and numerically the mean-field superconducting-normal phase boundaries of two-dimensional superconducting wire networks and Josephson junction arrays immersed in a transverse magnetic field. The geometries we consider include square, honeycomb, triangular, and kagome' lattices. Our approach is based on an analytical study of multiple-loop Aharonov-Bohm effects: the quantum interference between different electron closed paths where each one of them encloses a net magnetic flux. Specifically, we compute exactly the sums of magnetic phase factors, i.e., the lattice path integrals, on all closed lattice paths of different lengths. A very large number, e.g., up to $10^{81}$ for the square lattice, exact lattice path integrals are obtained. Analytic results of these lattice path integrals then enable us to obtain the resistive transition temperature as a continuous function of the field. In particular, we can analyze measurable effects on the superconducting transition temperature, $T_c(B)$, as a function of the magnetic filed $B$, originating from electron trajectories over loops of various lengths. In addition to systematically deriving previously observed features, and understanding the physical origin of the dips in $T_c(B)$ as a result of multiple-loop quantum interference effects, we also find novel results. In particular, we explicitly derive the self-similarity in the phase diagram of square networks. Our approach allows us to analyze the complex structure present in the phase boundaries from the viewpoint of quantum interference effects due to the electron motion on the underlying lattices.

Connectivity, Not Density, Dictates Percolation in Nematic Liquid Crystals of Slender Nanoparticles

description: We show by means of continuum theory and simulations that geometric percolation in uniaxial nematics of hard slender particles is fundamentally different from that in isotropic dispersions. In the nematic, percolation depends only very weakly on the density and is, in essence, determined by a distance criterion that defines connectivity. This unexpected finding has its roots in the non-trivial coupling between the density and the degree of orientational order that dictate the mean number of particle contacts. Clusters in the nematic are much longer than wide, suggesting the use of nematics for nanocomposites with strongly anisotropic transport properties.

description: Recent progress in the study of Cahn-Hilliard Navier-Stokes (CHNS) turbulence is summarized. This is an example of \textit{elastic turbulence}, which can occur in elastic (i.e. self-restoring) media. Such media exhibit memory due freezing-in laws, as does MHD, which in turn constrains the dynamics. We report new results in the theory of CHNS turbulence in 2D, with special emphasis on the role of structure (i.e. `blob') formation and its interaction with the dual cascade. The evolution of a concentration gradient in response to a single eddy -- analogous to flux expulsion in MHD -- is analyzed. Lessons learned are discussed in the context of MHD and other elastic media.
