description: Southern and eastern African populations that speak non-Bantu languages with click consonants are known to harbour some of the most ancient genetic lineages in humans, but their relationships are poorly understood. Here, we report data from 23 populations analyzed at over half a million single nucleotide polymorphisms, using a genome-wide array designed for studying human history. The southern African Khoisan fall into two genetic groups, loosely corresponding to the northwestern and southeastern Kalahari, which we show separated within the last 30,000 years. We find that all individuals derive at least a few percent of their genomes from admixture with non-Khoisan populations that began approximately 1,200 years ago. In addition, the east African Hadza and Sandawe derive a fraction of their ancestry from admixture with a population related to the Khoisan, supporting the hypothesis of an ancient link between southern and eastern Africa

taxonomic name alignment

description: Bats are significant disease vectors, and current research focuses on spillover risk, but the interactions between bat species are not well documented. In this study, members of the Biodiversity Exchange on Host and Pathogen Interactions (BE HaPI) collected cohabitation data of bats to understand zoonotic disease transmission pathways with data mining techniques. However, organizing the dataset required aligning taxonomic names and their meaning, which is challenging since species boundaries change as our knowledge of population structure and evolutionary relationships improve. Scientific names often proved to be ambiguous as identifiers for bat taxa.The Handbook of the Mammals of the World Volume 9 Bats (HMW), Bat Species of the World: A taxonomic and geographic database by Simmons and Cirranello (Batnames), and Mammal Diversity Database (Version 1.9.1) are the most frequently used resources by the bat community. These three resources define 1,532 taxonomic treatments, but they differ in the designation for a third of their taxonomic concepts. To maintain consistency, the researchers developed the Bat Taxonomic Alignment (BTA). The BTA is a dynamic and versioned name translation tool that ensures accurate integration and comparison of taxonomic treatments, highlighting the importance of data integration and digital advancements in facilitating research.

description: Dipolaritons are mixed light-matter quasiparticles formed in double quantum wells embedded in microcavities. Due to resonant coupling between direct and indirect excitons via electronic tunnelling, dipolaritons possess large dipole moments. Resonant excitation of the cavity mode by a short pulse of light induces oscillations of the indirect exciton density with a characteristic frequency of Rabi flopping. This results in oscillations of classical Hertz dipoles array which generate supperradiant emission on a terahertz (THz) frequency. Resulting THz signal may be enhanced using the supplementary THz cavity in the weak coupling regime.

description: Software Engineering Discipline is constantly achieving momentum from past two decades. In last decade, remarkable progress has been observed. New process models that are introduced from time to time in order to keep pace with multidimensional demands of the industry. New software development paradigms are finding its place in industry such as Agile Software Development, Reuse based Development and Component based Development. But different software development models fail to satisfy many needs of software industry. As aim of all the process models is same, i.e., to get quality product, reduce time of development, productivity improvement and reduction in cost. Still, no single process model is complete in itself. Software industry is moving towards Agile Software Development. Agile development does not obviously fit well for building reusable artifacts. However, with careful attention, and important modifications made to agile processes, it may be possible to successfully adapt and put on agile methods to development of reusable objects. The model being proposed here combines the features of Agile Software Development and reusability.

description: There are a number of secessionist movements in Europe today and each of them has met with varying degrees of contestation by the respective central governments. The present paper aims to investigate what, if anything, the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) could contribute to secessionist movements pursuing their aims or, conversely, to limiting responses to secessionist movements. It makes the case that territorial claims can be thought of and treated as primary political in nature. A promising avenue for protection, or so the paper argues, is the freedom of association guaranteed in article 11 ECHR. The paper accordingly analyses the case law on restrictions on political parties. Finally, it argues that the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) in its case law conflates democracy with liberal institutions and as such creates limitations on the protection afforded to secessionist movements that may not be justified. Keywords: Secession, democracy, liberalism, territory, Article 11 of the European Convention on Human Rights

description: We consider the entropy of polydisperse chains placed on a lattice. In particular, we study a model for equilibrium polymerization, where the polydispersivity is determined by two activities, for internal and endpoint monomers of a chain. We solve the problem exactly on a Husimi lattice built with squares and with arbitrary coordination number, obtaining an expression for the entropy as a function of the density of monomers and mean molecular weight of the chains. We compare this entropy with the one for the monodisperse case, and find that the excess of entropy due to polydispersivity is identical to the one obtained for the one-dimensional case. Finally, we obtain a distribution of molecular weights with a rather complex behavior, but which becomes exponential for very large mean molecular weight of the chains, as required by scaling properties which should apply in this limit.

description: Geological setting of East Java Basin is tectonically complicated due to the occurrence of RMKS fault zone stretching from west to east starting from Rembang, Madura, Kangean, up to Sakala areas. RMKS Fault is a sinistral slip fault which started at Middle Miocene and accommodated a counter clock-wise rotation at Eastern Sundaland. RMKS fault zone significantly influences the hydrocarbon accumulation of various fields in East Java Basin. RMKS Fault Zone was modeled based on 2D and 3D seismic data derived from East Java Basin area. The present study has been able to generate the latest and more detail geological structure map of East Java Basin. Palinspastic analysis from selected seismic lines shows the development of RMKS Fault Zone affects trap development and hydrocarbon migration. The effect of RMKS Fault Zone to hydrocarbon accumulation is explained by the model of RMKS and the latest geological structure map correlated with all of well locations available from East Java Basin. This analysis was used to explain the geological condition affecting the hydrocarbon accumulation in East Java Basin. Palinspatic analysis in Middle Miocene time shows some grabens which predicted as kitchen was already existed and RMKS Fault Zone considered as vertical migration paths. Meanwhile in Plistocene time, RMKS Fault Zone was re-activated creating faulted anticlines which significantly helpful in the formation of a hydrocarbon trap. In most cases, the result of palinspastic analysis shows that fields on this basin mostly controlled by RMKS Fault Zone and old structures developed at specific oil and gas fields.

We observe long molecule lifetimes (> 100 ms) even in the presence of a large ytterbium bath and extract reaction rate coefficients of the system. We find good collisional stability of the mixture in the unitary regime, opening new possibilities for studies and probes of strongly interacting quantum gases in contact with a bath species.

description: Five-dimensional scenarios with infinitesimally thin branes replaced by appropriate configurations of a scalar field were considered. A possibility of periodic extra dimension was discussed in the presence on non-minimal scalar-gravity coupling and a generalized Gibbons-Kallosh-Linde sum rule was found. In order to avoid constraints imposed by periodicity, a non-compact spacial extra dimension was introduced. A five dimensional model with warped geometry and two thin branes mimicked by a scalar profile was constructed and discussed. In the thin brane limit the model corresponds to a set-up with two positive-tension branes. The presence of two branes allows to address the issue of the hierarchy problem which could be solved by the standard warping of the four dimensional metric provided the Higgs field is properly localized. Stability of the background solution was discussed and verified in the presence of the most general perturbations of the metric and the scalar field.

description: Redox regulation of plastid gene expression and different metabolic pathways promotes many activities of redox-sensitive proteins. We address the question of how the plastid redox state and the contributing reducing enzymes control the enzymes of tetrapyrrole biosynthesis (TBS). In higher plants, this metabolic pathway serves to produce chlorophyll and heme, among other essential end products. Because of the strictly light-dependent synthesis of chlorophyll, tight control of TBS requires a diurnal balanced supply of the precursor 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) to prevent the accumulation of photoreactive metabolic intermediates in darkness. We report on some TBS enzymes that accumulate in a light intensity-dependent manner, and their contents decrease under oxidizing conditions of darkness, low light conditions, or in the absence of NADPH-dependent thioredoxin reductase (NTRC) and thioredoxin f1 (TRX-f1). Analysis of single and double trxf1 and ntrc mutants revealed a decreased content of the early TBS enzymes glutamyl-tRNA reductase (GluTR) and 5-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (ALAD) instead of an exclusive decrease in enzyme activity. This effect was dependent on light conditions and strongly attenuated after transfer to high light intensities. Thus, it is suggested that a deficiency of plastid-localized thiol-redox transmitters leads to enhanced degradation of TBS enzymes rather than being directly caused by lower catalytic activity. The effects of the proteolytic activity of the Clp protease on TBS enzymes were studied by using Clp subunit-deficient mutants. The simultaneous lack of TRX and Clp activities in double mutants confirms the Clp-induced degradation of some TBS proteins in the absence of reductive activity of TRXs. In addition, we verified previous observations that decreased chlorophyll and heme levels in ntrc could be reverted to WT levels in the ntrc/Δ2cp triple mutant. The decreased synthesis of 5-aminolevulinic acid and porphobilinogen in ntrc was completely restored in ntrc/Δ2cp and correlated with WT-like levels of GluTR, ALAD, and other TBS proteins.

description: We introduce the branching transitive closure operator on weighted monadic second-order logic formulas where the branching corresponds in a natural way to the branching inherent in trees. For arbitrary commutative semirings, we prove that weighted monadic second order logics on trees is equivalent to the definability by formulas which start with one of the following operators: (i) a branching transitive closure or (ii) an existential second-order quantifier followed by one universal first-order quantifier; in both cases the operator is applied to step-formulas over (a) Boolean first-order logic enriched by modulo counting or (b) Boolean monadic-second order logic.

description: Oligocene volcanic rock that overlays Miocene limestones is uncommon phenomena found in southern part of East Java. This phenomena was found at,Sampung area, Ponorogo Regency, East Java.The volcanic rocks in southern part of East Java have been known as Old Andesite Formation (OAF), with age starting from Oligocene to Early Miocene. Phisiographically the Sampung area is part of Solo Depression Zone. Stratigraphically, the Sampung area is composed by Oligo-Miocene volcanic rocks and Miocene limestones. A relation in which the volcanic rocks overlay Miocene limestone found in Sampung area has not been reported by previous workers. This research has been carried out starting from desk study, field work and micropaleontology analysis. Data from field mapping indicate that there are two contacts between volcanic rock and the Miocene limestone. The two contacts show an unusual stratigraphic relation where the older volcanic rocks overlay the younger limestone unit. The north contact has strike/dip N 1150E/150 while at the south contact the bedding plane is N 3000E/200. The contact between volcanic rock and Miocene limestone is marked by thin layer of breccia with fragments consisting of limestone and volcanic rocks. Some minor faults showing a relative movement to the north and a zone with intense fracturing are also found. The results of micropaleontology analysis indicate that the age of limestone is Middle to Late Miocene. The existence of this phenomena shows that the older volcanic rock overlying the younger limestone unit is an indication of a fault contact where the volcanic rock has been overthrusted on top of the limestone unit. The data from south contact showed the existence of the overthrust fault. The low angle thrust fault trending NE-SW possibly brought the Oligo-Miocene volcanic rocks from the south to overlay the Middle Miocene limestone unit in Sampung Area.

description: After constructing the possible $J^P=0^-, 0^+, 1^-$ and $1^+$ $QQ\bar{q}\bar{q}$ tetraquark interpolating currents in a systematic way, we investigate the two-point correlation functions and extract the corresponding masses with the QCD sum rule approach. We study the $QQ\bar{q}\bar{q}$, $QQ\bar{q}\bar{s}$ and $QQ\bar{s}\bar{s}$ systems with various isospins $I=0, 1/2, 1$. Our numerical analysis indicates that the masses of doubly-bottomed tetraquark states are below the threshold of the two bottom mesons, two bottom baryons and one doubly bottomed baryon plus one anti-nucleon. Very probably these doubly-bottomed tetraquark states are stable.

description: In this paper we examine a small but detailed test of the emergent gravity picture with explicit solutions in gravity and gauge theory. We first derive symplectic U(1) gauge fields starting from the Eguchi-Hanson metric in four-dimensional Euclidean gravity. The result precisely reproduces the U(1) gauge fields of the Nekrasov-Schwarz instanton previously derived from the top-down approach. In order to clarify the role of noncommutative spacetime, we take the Braden-Nekrasov U(1) instanton defined in ordinary commutative spacetime and derive a corresponding gravitational metric. We show that the Kähler manifold determined by the Braden-Nekrasov instanton exhibits a spacetime singularity while the Nekrasov-Schwarz instanton gives rise to a regular geometry-the Eguchi-Hanson space. This result implies that the noncommutativity of spacetime plays an important role for the resolution of spacetime singularities in general relativity. We also discuss how the topological invariants associated with noncommutative U(1) instantons are related to those of emergent four-dimensional Riemannian manifolds according to the emergent gravity picture.

description: Only 1 in 10 people with disabilities can access assistive devices, underlining the critical need for low-cost assistive products. This paper describes the design evolution of a manual user-operated standing wheelchair (SWC), translating from prototype to product. The SWC design has been refined over 5 years through multiple iterations based on comments from user trials. The SWC product, Arise, provides standing functionality, facile outdoor mobility, affordability, customisability, and is aesthetically pleasing. A one-time fitting and training ensure optimal effort for operation, correct posture, and comfortable user experience. The SWC accommodates users of different sizes and body weights (up to 110 kg) and minimises user effort with the use of a gas spring. Incorporating discrete adjustments enables customisation while retaining the advantages of mass manufacturing, which is necessary for ensuring affordability. The SWC has been field-tested and well received by over 100 wheelchair users, and Arise was launched recently by the industry partner. It should be noted that RESNA cautions on the use of any standing device without medical consultation. Nevertheless, with appropriate dissemination and awareness, it is anticipated that the affordable SWC product, Arise, will immensely benefit the eligible users and make a difference in their quality of life.Implications for RehabilitationProvides standing functionality, outdoor mobility, affordability and customisabilityAccommodates users of different sizes and body weights in a mass-manufacturable designErgonomic design reduces net user effort during sit-to-stand, stand-to-sit activityDesign iterated and refined based on feedback from over 100 user trials Provides standing functionality, outdoor mobility, affordability and customisability Accommodates users of different sizes and body weights in a mass-manufacturable design Ergonomic design reduces net user effort during sit-to-stand, stand-to-sit activity Design iterated and refined based on feedback from over 100 user trials

(2009) for generating a synthetic population, organised in households, from various statistics. We generate a reference population for a French region including 1310 municipalities and measure how both methods approximate it from a set of statistics dervied from this reference population. We also perform sensitivity analysis. The sample-free method better fits the reference distributions of both individuals and households. It is also less data demanding but it requires more pre-processing. The quality of the results for the sample-based method is highly dependent on the quality of the initial sample.

description: To characterize the untrained performance of people with aphasia (PWA) in finding symbols (single words) on two symbol-based augmentative and alternative communication applications (AAC apps). Nine individuals with aphasia and no previous experience with AAC searched for five symbols on two grid display apps with differing representation systems and vocabulary (Proloquo2Go and Speak for Yourself) following a brief demonstration. Participants were allowed two minutes to locate each symbol on each app (Trial 1), following which the process was repeated with the same symbols (Trial 2) for both apps. Measured variables included total number of symbols found as well as average efficiency score, search time per symbol, and number of cell selections per second for successful trials. Participants were interviewed about their stated app preferences. In the absence of training, participants performed significantly better using Proloquo2Go for average search time (p < .001), and rate of cell selection (p < .001). No significant differences were found across trials. Seven of the nine participants expressed a preference for Proloquo2Go. Participant performance and stated preferences appeared to favour the layout found in Proloquo2Go, possibly suggestive of greater intuitiveness in the absence of training. However, significant learning was not observed across two trials, suggesting the importance of training and increased exposure.Implications for RehabilitationIndividuals who are diagnosed with aphasia may have long-term communication difficulties that require alternative means of communication.There are numerous commercially available augmentative and alternative communication applications (AAC apps) which may be beneficial for this population.

description: We develop a finite temperature Hartree theory for the trapped dipolar Bose gas. We use this theory to study thermal effects on the mechanical stability of the system and density oscillating condensate states. We present results for the stability phase diagram as a function of temperature and aspect ratio. In oblate traps above the critical temperature for condensation we find that the Hartree theory predicts significant stability enhancement over the semiclassical result. Below the critical temperature we find that thermal effects are well described by accounting for the thermal depletion of the condensate. Our results also show that density oscillating condensate states occur over a range of interaction strengths that broadens with increasing temperature.

description: We describe Algorithms for Calibration, Optimized Registration, and Nulling the Star in Angular Differential Imaging (ACORNS-ADI), a new, parallelized software package to reduce high-contrast imaging data, and its application to data from the SEEDS survey. We implement several new algorithms, including a method to register saturated images, a trimmed mean for combining an image sequence that reduces noise by up to ~20%, and a robust and computationally fast method to compute the sensitivity of a high-contrast observation everywhere on the field-of-view without introducing artificial sources. We also include a description of image processing steps to remove electronic artifacts specific to Hawaii2-RG detectors like the one used for SEEDS, and a detailed analysis of the Locally Optimized Combination of Images (LOCI) algorithm commonly used to reduce high-contrast imaging data. ACORNS-ADI is written in python. It is efficient and open-source, and includes several optional features which may improve performance on data from other instruments. ACORNS-ADI requires minimal modification to reduce data from instruments other than HiCIAO. It is freely available for download at www.github.com/t-brandt/acorns-adi under a BSD license.

description: In 1997, Bousquet-Melou and Eriksson initiated the study of lecture hall partitions, a fascinating family of partitions that yield a finite version of Euler's celebrated odd/distinct partition theorem. In subsequent work on s-lecture hall partitions, they considered the self-reciprocal property for various associated generating functions, with the goal of characterizing those sequences s that give rise to generating functions of the form $((1-q^{e_1})(1-q^{e_2})...(1-q^{e_n}))^{-1}$. We continue this line of investigation, connecting their work to the more general context of Gorenstein cones. We focus on the Gorenstein condition for s-lecture hall cones when s is a positive integer sequence generated by a second-order homogeneous linear recurrence with initial values 0 and 1. Among such sequences s, we prove that the n-dimensional s-lecture hall cone is Gorenstein for all n greater than or equal to 1 if and only if s is an l-sequence. One consequence is that among such sequences s, unless s is an l-sequence, the generating function for the s-lecture hall partitions can have the form $((1-q^{e_1})(1-q^{e_2})...(1-q^{e_n}))^{-1}$ for at most finitely many n. We also apply the results to establish several conjectures by Pensyl and Savage regarding the symmetry of h*-vectors for s-lecture hall polytopes. We end with open questions and directions for further research.
The Ioffe-Regel criterion and diffusion of vibrations in random lattices

description: We consider diffusion of vibrations in 3d harmonic lattices with strong force-constant disorder. Above some frequency w_IR, corresponding to the Ioffe-Regel crossover, notion of phonons becomes ill defined. They cannot propagate through the system and transfer energy. Nevertheless most of the vibrations in this range are not localized. We show that they are similar to diffusons introduced by Allen, Feldman et al., Phil. Mag. B 79, 1715 (1999) to describe heat transport in glasses. The crossover frequency w_IR is close to the position of the boson peak. Changing strength of disorder we can vary w_IR from zero value (when rigidity is zero and there are no phonons in the lattice) up to a typical frequency in the system. Above w_IR the energy in the lattice is transferred by means of diffusion of vibrational excitations. We calculated the diffusivity of the modes D(w) using both the direct numerical solution of Newton equations and the formula of Edwards and Thouless. It is nearly a constant above w_IR and goes to zero at the localization threshold. We show that apart from the diffusion of energy, the diffusion of particle displacements in the lattice takes place as well. Above w_IR a displacement structure factor S(q,w) coincides well with a structure factor of random walk on the lattice. As a result the vibrational line width Gamma(q)=D_u q^2 where D_u is a diffusion coefficient of particle displacements. Our findings may have important consequence for the interpretation of experimental data on inelastic x-ray scattering and mechanisms of heat transfer in glasses.

description: The study had three main objectives. (1) To investigate the perceived impact of power-assist devices (PADs) on manual wheelchair (MWC) user mobility. (2) To compare perceptions about different types of PADs. (3) To identify preferred features and design characteristics of PADs. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with community-dwelling MWC users aged 31 years and older, with at least 2.5 years of experience using an MWC independently (n = 16). Data were thematically analysed using an inductive approach. Two main themes related to participants’ perceptions about the effects of PAD use were identified: (1) “Expanding my world”, which illustrated the perceived benefits of using PADs (e.g., gaining a sense of autonomy and access to new environments, maintaining physical health) and (2) “Falling short”, which described challenges with PADs (e.g., safety, reliability and portability issues). Participants also identified strengths and limitations of different types of PADs that were mainly related to specific user–device and device–environment interactions as well as various functional characteristics. Moreover, participants outlined their priorities for future PAD design, including improving controllability, customizability and affordability of these devices. Participants’ perceptions about PADs varied across different types of devices and in different contexts. However, PADs were generally perceived as enhancing the capabilities of MWCs. Our findings provide insight into the factors that can be considered when selecting a PAD and can inform the development of future PADs that are better equipped to overcome challenges that MWC users frequently encounter.Implications for RehabilitationPower-assist devices (PADs) for manual wheelchairs (MWCs) have the potential to improve the mobility, community participation and well-being of users.Some of the existing PADs have safety and reliability issues that affect their performance and limit their use by MWC users.The three types of PADs (front-mounted attachments, rear-mounted attachments, powered wheels) offer different types of assistance that can benefit users with various capabilities.
