description: Recent X-ray observations have been used to demonstrate that the cluster gas mass-temperature relation is steeper than theoretical self-similar predictions drawn from numerical simulations that consider the evolution of the cluster gas through the effects of gravity and shock heating alone. One possible explanation for this is that the gas mass fraction is not constant across clusters of different temperature, as is usually assumed. Observationally, however, there is no compelling evidence for gas mass fraction variation, especially in the case of hot clusters. Seeking an alternative physical explanation for the observed trends, we investigate the role in the cluster gas mass - temperature relation of the preheating of the intracluster medium by some arbitrary source for clusters with emission-weighted mean temperatures of greater than about 3 keV. Making use of the physically-motivated, analytic models developed in 2002 by Babul and coworkers, we find that preheating does, indeed, lead to a steeper relation. This is in agreement with previous theoretical studies on the relation. However, in apparent conflict with these studies, we argue that a ``high'' level of entropy injection is required to match observations. In particular, an entropy floor of greater than about 300 keV cm^2 is required. We also present a new test, namely, the study of the relation within different fixed radii. This allows one to indirectly probe the density profiles of clusters, since it samples different fractions of the virial radius for clusters of different temperature. This test also confirms that a high level of preheating is required to match observations.

description: Atualmente, muito tem se falado sobre o testamento vital, instrumento usado para fazer prevalecer a vontade de pacientes em estado terminal ou vegetativo, quanto a quais procedimentos médicos querem ou não ser submetidos. Apesar de vulgarmente conhecido como testamento vital, o instituto está regulado pela Resolução nº 1995/2012 do Conselho Federal de Medicina que o designa como “Diretivas Antecipadas de Vontade”, contudo, o tema é bastante controvertido já que inexiste lei positivando este instituto no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro, inexistindo definição clara dos requisitos que deverão ser observados para sua elaboração, como também inexiste orientação sobre seu efeito obrigatório ou não em relação ao profissional da saúde que está atendendo aquele paciente. A justificativa hoje aceita para o instituto é a necessidade de fazer prevalecer a vontade desses pacientes perante os tratamentos médico-hospitalares, assegurando a dignidade da pessoa humana, a autonomia privada e a proibição constitucional de tratamento desumano, já que um paciente em estado terminal já está sofrendo o bastante para se submeter a procedimentos médicos que causarão sofrimentos ainda maiores e desnecessários, visto que já se encontra no fim da vida e sem possibilidade de cura. Diante desta problemática, o presente trabalho buscou analisar este instrumento partindo da doutrina civilista sobre o testamento e suas espécies. Em seguida, buscou-se apresentar os elementos fundantes das diretivas antecipadas de vontade, seus efeitos, fundamentos jurídicos e requisitos, dentre eles o consentimento livre e esclarecido, que de fato seria o ingrediente fundante para sua aplicação, irradiando seus efeitos vinculantes aos profissionais da saúde, em atendimento aos princípios constitucionais acima mencionados.

description: We analyse an 850-um SCUBA map of the environment of the z=2.39 radio galaxy 53W002, which has been shown to reside in an over-density of Ly-alpha detected galaxies. We identify four luminous submillimeter (submm) sources within a 2.3' (1.2Mpc at z=2.39) diameter area around the radio galaxy (which itself is a weak submm source). We employ a 1.4-GHz map to accurately locate the counterpart of one of these sources, SMMJ17142+5016, and identify this source with a narrow-line AGN with an extended Ly-alpha halo at z=2.390 which is member of the structure around 53W002. Hence SMMJ17142+5016 is the first spectroscopically-confirmed, submm-selected companion to a high-redshift radio galaxy. We discuss the OHS JHK spectrum of this galaxy and in addition present five new constraints on its spectral energy distribution longward of 1um, using these to estimate its bolometric luminosity as ~8x10^12 Lo, or a star formation rate of ~1000Mo/yr if young stars provide the bulk of the luminosity. This result provides direct support for the statistical detection of over-densities of SCUBA galaxies around high-redshift radio galaxies and confirms theoretical predictions that SCUBA galaxies, as the progenitors of massive ellipticals, should be strongly clustered in the highest density regions of the distant Universe.

description: Inorganic ferroelectric perovskite oxides are more stable than hybrid perovskites. However, their solar energy harvest efficiency is not so good. Here, by constructing a series of BiFeO3 based devices (solar cells), we investigated three factors that influence the photovoltaic performance, including spontaneous polarization, terminated ions species in the interface between BiFeO3 and the electrode, and polarized light irradiation. This work was carried out in the framework of density functional theory combined with non-equilibrium Green's function theory under built in electric field or finite bias. The results showed that 1. the photocurrent is larger only under a suitable electronic band gap rather than larger spontaneous polarization; 2. the photocurrent reaches the largest in Bi ions terminated interface than in the case of Fe ion or O ion with SrTiO3 electrode; 3. the photocurrent could be largely enhanced if the polarized direction of the monochromatic light is perpendicular to the spontaneous polarization direction. The results would deepen the understanding of some experimental results of BiFeO3 based solar cells.

description: We present a comparison of X-ray point source luminosity functions of 3 starburst galaxies (the Antennae, M82, and NGC 253) and 4 non-starburst spiral galaxies (NGC 3184, NGC 1291, M83, and IC 5332). We find that the luminosity functions of the starbursts are flatter than those of the spiral galaxies; the starbursts have relatively more sources at high luminosities. This trend extends to early-type galaxies which have steeper luminosity functions than spirals. We show that the luminosity function slope is correlated with 60 micron luminosity, a measure of star formation. We suggest that the difference in luminosity functions is related to the age of the X-ray binary populations and present a simple model which highlights how the shape of the luminosity distribution is affected by the age of the underlying X-ray binary population.

description: CCD photometry of the type Ia SN 2001V occured in the edge-on spiral galaxy NGC 3987 is presented. The observations made through Johnson-Cousins BVRI filters were collected from Feb. 24 (t = -8 days, with respect to B-maximum), up to May 5 (t = +62 days). The light curves are analyzed with the revised Multi-Colour Light Curve Shape (MLCS) method by fitting template vectors to the observed light curves simultaneously. The reddening of SN 2001V is estimated to be E(B-V)=0.05 mag, while the galactic component is E(B-V) = 0.02 mag, suggesting that part of the reddening may be due to the ISM in the host galaxy. The Delta parameter in MLCS converged to -0.47 mag, indicating that this SN was overluminous relative to the majority of Type Ia SNe. The inferred distance to its host galaxy, NGC 3987, is 74.5 \pm 5 Mpc, which is in good agreement with recently determined kinematic distances, based on radial velocity corrected for Virgo-infall and Hubble constant H_0 = 65 km/s/Mpc.

Subjects: subject: Antenna conductivity

subject: Antenna bandwidth

description: The research work explored the fundamental ideas and techniques required to design an antenna placed on different common target objects for radio frequency identification. This was achieved by studying the effect of antenna conductivity in a wide range and the substrate relative permittivity from 1 to 10. The effect on wire meander antenna properties are different to that for a straight linear dipole antenna; the increase in wire radius of the meander antenna increases the resonant frequency but increases in wire radius of a straight dipole antenna decreases the resonant frequency. This study concluded that the approximate antenna bandwidth needed for common target object materials is 28.5%. A genetic algorithm GA code was written to optimize the meander antenna structure to obtain a larger bandwidth. The GA optimized each vertical element and horizontal element for radius and length. The optimized antenna has 14.5% bandwidth which covers the entire UHF RFID frequency. As conductivity is not changed further, the properties of antennas on ungrounded substrates with different permittivity and thickness were investigated. The solution for this problem involved transforming a circular cross section wire antenna structure to a planar strip antenna structure. A number of theoretical approaches were assessed to solve for the effective permittivity when the substrate material is thin. Surface impedance and slab waveguide propagation techniques were compared to a capacitive solution and an insulated wire antenna. The insulated wire method gives most accurate results (< 3.5% error) and was verified using numerical modelling and experimental work. Measurements on a planar straight dipole on FR4 (fc = 1.50GHz) compare favourably with the antenna modelled without the substrate and scaled using the insulated wire technique at (fc = 1.49GHz).

description: Recent progress of self-supervised visual representation learning has achieved remarkable success on many challenging computer vision benchmarks. However, whether these techniques can be used for domain adaptation has not been explored. In this work, we propose a generic method for self-supervised domain adaptation, using object recognition and semantic segmentation of urban scenes as use cases. Focusing on simple pretext/auxiliary tasks (e.g. image rotation prediction), we assess different learning strategies to improve domain adaptation effectiveness by self-supervision. Additionally, we propose two complementary strategies to further boost the domain adaptation accuracy on semantic segmentation within our method, consisting of prediction layer alignment and batch normalization calibration. The experimental results show adaptation levels comparable to most studied domain adaptation methods, thus, bringing self-supervision as a new alternative for reaching domain adaptation. The code is available at https://github.com/Jiaolong/self-supervised-da.

description: Big Data is the most popular emerging trends that becomes a blessing for human kinds and it is the necessity of day-to-day life. For example, Facebook. Every person involves with producing data either directly or indirectly. Thus, Big Data is a high volume of data with exponential growth rate that consists of a variety of data. Big Data touches all fields, including Government sector, IT industry, Business, Economy, Engineering, Bioinformatics, and other basic sciences. Thus, Big Data forms a data silo. Most of the data are duplicates and unstructured. To deal with such kind of data silo, Bloom Filter is a precious resource to filter out the duplicate data. Also, Bloom Filter is inevitable in a Big Data storage system to optimize the memory consumption. Undoubtedly, Bloom Filter uses a tiny amount of memory space to filter a very large data size and it stores information of a large set of data. However, functionality of the Bloom Filter is limited to membership filter, but it can be adapted in various applications. Besides, the Bloom Filter is deployed in diverse field, and also used in the interdisciplinary research area. Bioinformatics, for instance. In this article, we expose the usefulness of Bloom Filter in Big Data research.

The Giant X-Ray Flare of NGC 5905: Tidal Disruption of a Star, a Brown Dwarf, or a Planet?

description: We model the 1990 giant X-ray flare of the quiescent galaxy NGC 5905 as the tidal disruption of a star by a supermassive black hole. From the observed rapid decline of the luminosity, over a timescale of a few years, we argue that the flare was powered by the fallback of debris rather than subsequent accretion via a thin disk. The fallback model allows constraints to be set on the black hole mass and the mass of debris. The latter must be very much less than a solar mass to explain the very low luminosity of the flare. The observations can be explained either as the partial stripping of the outer layers of a low-mass main sequence star or as the disruption of a brown dwarf or a giant planet. We find that the X-ray emission in the flare must have originated within a small patch rather than over the entire torus of circularized material surrounding the black hole. We suggest that the patch corresponds to the ``bright spot'' where the stream of returning debris impacts the torus. Interestingly, although the peak luminosity of the flare was highly sub-Eddington, the peak flux from the bright spot was close to the Eddington limit. We speculate on the implications of this result for observations of other flare events.

Our characterization is described in terms of a tree of radius $2$ whose leaves are labelled by the vertices of a graph $G$, and the width is measured by the maximum possible cut-rank of a partition of $V(G)$ induced by splitting an internal node of the tree to make two components. The minimum width possible is called the depth-$2$ rank-brittleness of $G$. We prove that for all $n$, every graph with sufficiently large depth-$2$ rank-brittleness contains $P_n$ or disjoint union of $n$ copies of the $1$-subdivision of $K_{1,n}$ as a vertex-minor.

description: Photons have been a flagship system for studying quantum mechanics, advancing quantum information science, and developing quantum technologies. Quantum entanglement, teleportation, quantum key distribution and early quantum computing demonstrations were pioneered in this technology because photons represent a naturally mobile and low-noise system with quantum-limited detection readily available. The quantum states of individual photons can be manipulated with very high precision using interferometry, an experimental staple that has been under continuous development since the 19th century. The complexity of photonic quantum computing device and protocol realizations has raced ahead as both underlying technologies and theoretical schemes have continued to develop. Today, photonic quantum computing represents an exciting path to medium- and large-scale processing. It promises to out aside its reputation for requiring excessive resource overheads due to inefficient two-qubit gates. Instead, the ability to generate large numbers of photons---and the development of integrated platforms, improved sources and detectors, novel noise-tolerant theoretical approaches, and more---have solidified it as a leading contender for both quantum information processing and quantum networking. Our concise review provides a flyover of some key aspects of the field, with a focus on experiment. Apart from being a short and accessible introduction, its many references to in-depth articles and longer specialist reviews serve as a launching point for deeper study of the field.

description: Animals such as bumblebees use chemosensory cues to both locate and evaluate essential resources. Increasingly, it is recognized that microbes can alter the quality of foraged resources and produce metabolites that may act as foraging cues. The distinct nature of these chemosensory cues however and their use in animal foraging remain poorly understood. Here, we test the hypothesis that species of nectar-inhabiting microbes differentially influence pollinator attraction and feeding via microbial metabolites produced in nectar. We first examined the electrophysiological potential for bumblebee (Bombus impatiens) antennal olfactory neurons to respond to microbial volatile organic compounds (mVOCs), followed by an olfactory preference test. We also assessed gustatory preferences for microbial-altered nectar through both no-choice and choice feeding assays. Antennal olfactory neurons responded to some mVOCs, and bees preferred nectar solutions inoculated with the bacterium Asaia astibles over the yeast Metschnikowia reukaufii based on volatiles alone. However, B. impatiens foragers consumed significantly more Metschnikowia-inoculated nectar, suggesting distinct roles for mVOCs and non-volatile metabolites in mediating both attraction and feeding decisions. Collectively, our results suggest that microbial metabolites have significant potential to shape interspecific, plant-pollinator signalling, with consequences for forager learning, economics and floral host reproduction.

description: We present pulse phase-resolved X-ray spectra of the high mass X-ray binary Vela X-1 using the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer. We observed Vela X-1 in 1998 and 2000 with a total observation time of ~90 ksec. We find an absorption feature at 23.3 +1.3 -0.6 kev in the main pulse, that we interpret as the fundamental cyclotron resonant scattering feature (CRSF). The feature is deepest in the rise of the main pulse where it has a width of 7.6 +4.4 -2.2 kev and an optical depth of 0.33 +0.06 -0.13. This CRSF is also clearly detected in the secondary pulse, but it is far less significant or undetected during the pulse minima. We conclude that the well known CRSF at 50.9 +0.6 -0.7 kev, which is clearly visible even in phase-averaged spectra, is the first harmonic and not the fundamental. Thus we infer a magnetic field strength of B=2.6 x 10^12 G.

description: We present mid-IR imaging observations of a high Galactic latitude cirrus obtained with the ISO camera ISOCAM at 6" angular resolution. The observations were done with two filters LW2 (5-8.5 microns) and LW3 (12-18 microns) that measure respectively the aromatic carbon bands and the underlying continuum emission from small dust particles. Three 0.05 square degree images sample atomic and molecular sections in the Ursa Major cirrus. These images are compared with Hi, CO and IRAS observations. In such a cloud transparent to stellar light (Av < 0.5) the mid-infrared to 100 microns and the mid-IR emissivity per hydrogen are related to the abundance and the optical properties of small dust particles independently of any modelling of the penetration of the radiation. Within the atomic section of the cloud, the comparison between ISOCAM images and 21 cm interferometric data highlights an enhancement of the mid-IR emitters abundance by a factor ~5 in an Hi filament characterized by a large transverse velocity gradient suggestive of rotation. Furthermore, a drop in the abundance of the same mid-IR emitters is observed at the interface between the atomic and molecular cirrus sections. We propose that these abundance variations of the mid-IR emitters are related to the production of small dust particles by grain shattering in energetic grain-grain collisions generated by turbulent motions within the cirrus and inversely by their disappearance due to coagulation on large grains. At the atomic-molecular interface we also observe a decrease of the Lw2/Lw3 ratio by a factor 2 in the molecular region. This could result from a modification of the dust size distribution or of the intrinsic optical properties of the small dust particles.

description: We provide conditions for stable equilibrium in Cournot duopoly models with tax evasion and time delay. We prove that our conditions actually imply asymptotically stable equilibrium and delay independence. Conditions include the same marginal cost and equal probability for evading taxes. We give examples of cost and inverse demand functions satisfying the proposed conditions. Some economic interpretations of our results are also included.

description: It has been proposed that very massive stars (VMSs) dominated heavy element production until a metallicity threshold corresponding to [Fe/H]=-3 was reached. This results in a prompt (P) inventory of elements, the abundances of which were determined from observations of Galactic halo stars with [Fe/H]=-3. We calculate Omega_P(E) from the P inventory for a large number of elements in the IGM. Using the available data on Omega(E_ion) for C IV, O VI, and Si IV in Ly alpha systems, we find that the ionization fractions calculated from Omega(E_ion)/Omega_P(E) are, within reasonable uncertainties, compatible with the values estimated from ionization models for Ly alpha systems. This agreement appears to hold from z=0.09 to 4.6, indicating that the bulk of the baryonic matter remains dispersed with a fixed chemical composition. We conclude that the P inventory was established in the epoch prior to z=4.6. The dispersal of processed baryonic matter to the general IGM is considered to be the result of energetic VMS explosions that disrupted baryonic aggregates until the metallicity threshold was reached to permit normal astration. The formation of most galaxies is considered to have occurred subsequent to the achievement of this metallicity threshold in the IGM.

description: Improving the speed of outbreak detection and reporting at the community level is critical in managing the threat of emerging infectious diseases, many of which are zoonotic. The widespread use of mobile phones including in rural areas has presented potentially effective tools for real-time surveillance of infectious diseases. Using longitudinal data from a disease surveillance system implemented in 1500 households in rural Kenya, we test the effectiveness of mobile phone animal syndromic surveillance by comparing it with routine household animal health surveys, determine the individual and household correlates of its use and examine the broader implications for surveillance of zoonotic diseases. A total of 20 340 animal and death events were reported from the community through the two surveillance systems, half of which were confirmed as valid disease events. The probability of an event being valid was 2.1 times greater for the phone-based system, compared with the household visits. Illness events were 15 times (95% CI 12.8, 17.1) more likely to be reported through the phone system compared to routine household visits, but not death events (OR 0.1 (95% CI 0.09, 0.11)). Disease syndromes with severe presentations were more likely to be reported through the phone system. While controlling for herd and flock sizes owned, phone ownership was not a determinant of using phone-based surveillance system, but the lack of a formal education, and having additional source of income besides farming were associated with decreased likelihood of reporting through the phone system. Our study suggests a phone-based surveillance system will sufficiently detect outbreaks of diseases such as Rift Valley fever that present with severe clinical signs in animal populations, but in the absence of additional reporting incentives, it may miss early outbreaks of diseases such as avian influenza that present primarily with mortality.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Dynamic and integrative approaches to understanding pathogen spillover’.

Response of SDO/HMI observables to heating of the solar atmosphere by precipitating high-energy electrons

description: We perform an analysis of the line-of-sight (LOS) observables of the SDO/HMI for models of the solar atmosphere heated by precipitating high-energy electrons during solar flares. The radiative hydrodynamic (RADYN) flare models are obtained from the F-CHROMA database. The Stokes profiles for the Fe 6173 A line observed by SDO/HMI are calculated using the radiative transfer code RH1.5D assuming statistical equilibrium for atomic level populations and imposing uniform background vertical magnetic field of various strength. The SDO/HMI observing sequence and LOS data processing pipeline algorithm are applied to derive the observables (continuum intensity, line depth, Doppler velocity, LOS magnetic field). Our results reveal that the strongest deviations of the observables from the actual spectroscopic line parameters are found for the model with a total energy deposited of $E_{total}=1.0\times{}10^{12}$ erg cm$^{-2}$, injected with power-law spectral index of $δ=3$ above a low-energy cutoff of $E_{c}=25$ keV. The magnitudes of the velocity and magnetic field deviations depend on the imposed magnetic field, and can reach 0.35 km/s for LOS velocities, 90 G for LOS magnetic field, and 3\% for continuum enhancement for the 1000 G imposed LOS magnetic field setup. For $E_{total}\geq{}3.0\times{}10^{11}$ erg cm$^{-2}$ models, the velocity and magnetic field deviations are most strongly correlated with the energy flux carried by $\sim$50 keV electrons, and the continuum enhancement is correlated with the synthesized $\sim$55-60 keV hard X-ray photon flux. The relatively low magnitudes of perturbations of the observables and absence of magnetic field sign reversals suggest that the considered radiative hydrodynamic beam heating models augmented with the uniform vertical magnetic field setups cannot explain strong transient changes found in the SDO/HMI observations.

Spectral Response of the Pulsationally-Induced Shocks in the Atmosphere of BW Vulpeculae

description: The star BW Vul excites an extremely strong radial pulsation that grows in its envelope and is responsible for visible shock features in the continuum flux and spectral line profiles emerging in the atmosphere At two phases separated by 0.8 cycles. Material propelled upwards in the atmosphere from the shock returns to the lower photosphere where it creates a second shock just before the start of the next cycle. We have obtained three nights of echelle data for this star over about 5 pulsation cycles (P = 0.201 days) in order to evaluate the effects of on a number of important lines in the spectrum, including the HeI 5875A and 6678A lines. These data were supplemented by archival high-dispersion IUE (UV) data from 1994. A comparison of profiles of the two HeI lines during the peak of the infall activity suggests that differences in the development of the blue wing at this time are due to heating and short-lived formations of an optically thin layer above the atmospheric region compressed by the infall. This discovery and the well-known decreases in equivalent widths of the CII 6578-83A doublet at the two shock phases, suggests that shock flattens the temperature gradient and produces heating in heating the upper atmosphere. Except for absorptions in the blue wings of the UV resonance lines, we find no evidence for sequential shock delays arriving at various regions of line formation of the photosphere (a "Van Hoof effect"). Phase lags cited by some former observers may be false indicators arising from varying degrees of desaturation of multiple lines, such as for the red HeI lines. In addition, an apparent lag in the equivalent width curve of lines arising from less excited atomic levels could instead be caused by post-shock cooling, followed by a rebound shock.
