description: We study the mid-infrared properties of a sample of 69 nearby spiral galaxies, selected to avoid Seyfert activity contributing a significant fraction of the central energetics, or strong tidal interaction, and to have normal infrared luminosities. These observations were obtained with ISOCAM, which provides an angular resolution of the order of 10 arcsec (half-power diameter of the point spread function) and low-resolution spectro-imaging information. Between 5 and 18 microns, we mainly observe two dust phases, aromatic infrared bands and very small grains, both out of thermal equilibrium. On this sample, we show that the global F15/F7 colors of galaxies are very uniform, the only increase being found in early-type strongly barred galaxies, consistent with previous IRAS studies. The F15/F7 excesses are unambiguously due to galactic central regions where bar-induced starbursts occur. However, the existence of strongly barred early-type galaxies with normal circumnuclear colors indicates that the relationship between a distortion of the gravitational potential and a central starburst is not straightforward. As the physical processes at work in central regions are in principle identical in barred and unbarred galaxies, and since this is where the mid-infrared activity is mainly located, we investigate the mid-infrared circumnuclear properties of all the galaxies in our sample. We show how surface brightnesses and colors are related to both the available molecular gas content and the mean age of stellar populations contributing to dust heating. Therefore, the star formation history in galactic central regions can be constrained by their position in a color-surface brightness mid-infrared diagram.

 Amastigogonus verreauxii (Gervais, 1847) n. comb. (Fig. 3)
 Iulus Verreauxii Gervais, 1847: 175.
TYPE MATERIAL. — N° GA 031, 1 holotype.
TYPE LOCALITY. — The sample is stated to derive from the slopes of Mont Wellington, Tasmania (which is near Hobart), collected by Jules Verreaux.
REMARKS
 Re-examination of the male holotype (holotype status presumed from the original description that gives variation neither in leg counts nor size has revealed that this species unquestionably is referable to Amastigogonus Brölemann, 1913. This small genus has hitherto contained three valid species, all apparently endemic in Tasmania (cf. Hoffman 1980). Further, Iulus verreauxii has long been recognized as a cambaloid, yet without any taxonomic specification (Jeekel 1981). So this is the first formal reallocation of this enigmatic species since its original description.
 Judged from the illustrations presented here (Fig. 3), A. verreauxii seems to have no junior synonyms, being distinguished by the presence of a very faint axial line along the promentum (comparable to an incomplete line only known in A. hardyi [Chamberlin, 1920] as illustrated by Verhoeff [1944] for its junior synonym A. nicholsii Verhoeff, 1944 [cf. Hoffman 1972]), the peculiar shape of the terminal telopoditomeres of the male leg-pair 1, the subequally long branches of the anterior gonopods and, above all, by the securiform distal end of the solenomerite (vs long and flagelliform in the type-species A. tasmanianus Brölemann, 1913 or shorter and flagelliform both in A. hardyi and A. fossuliger Verhoeff, 1944 [cf. Brölemann 1913; Verhoeff 1944; Hoffman 1972]).
The rudimentary posterior gonopods (Fig. 3H) appear to be attached like forceps to the wall at the very base of the caudomedian ridges of the anterior gonopods (Fig. 3E).

description: An optical microtrap is realized on a dielectric surface by crossing a tightly focused laser beam with an horizontal evanescent-wave atom mirror. The nondissipative trap is loaded with $\sim$$10^5$ cesium atoms through elastic collisions from a cold reservoir provided by a large-volume optical surface trap. With an observed 300-fold local increase of the atomic number density approaching $10^{14}{\rm cm}^{-3}$, unprecedented conditions of cold atoms close to a surface are realized.

description: Conducting and magnetic properties of a material often change in some confined geometries. However, a situation where a non-magnetic semiconductor becomes both metallic and magnetic at the surface is quite rare, and to the best of our knowledge has never been observed in experiment. In this work, we employ first-principles electronic structure theory to predict that such a peculiar magnetic state emerges in a family of quaternary Heusler compounds. We investigate magnetic and electronic properties of CoCrTiP, FeMnTiP and CoMnVAl. For the latter material, we also analyse the magnetic exchange interactions and use them for parametrizing an effective spin Hamiltonian. According to our results, magnetism in this material should persist at temperatures at least as high as 155 K.

Sculpting eccentric debris disks with eccentric gas rings

Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Many debris disks seen in scattered light have shapes that imply their dust grains trace highly eccentric, apsidally aligned orbits. Apsidal alignment is surprising, especially for dust. Even when born from an apse-aligned ring of parent bodies, dust grains have their periastra dispersed in all directions by stellar radiation pressure. The periastra cannot be re-oriented by planets within the short dust lifetimes at the bottom of the collisional cascade. We propose that what re-aligns dust orbits is drag exerted by second-generation gas. Gas is largely immune to radiation pressure, and when released by photodesorption or collisions within an eccentric ring of parent bodies should occupy a similarly eccentric, apse-aligned ring. Dust grains launched onto misaligned orbits cross the eccentric gas ring supersonically and can become dragged into alignment within collisional lifetimes. The resultant dust configurations, viewed nearly but not exactly edge-on, with periastra pointing away from the observer, appear moth-like, with kinked wings and even doubled pairs of wings, explaining otherwise mysterious features in HD 61005 ("The Moth") and HD 32297, including their central bulbs when we account for strong forward scattering from irregularly shaped particles. Around these systems we predict gas at Kuiper-belt-like distances to move on highly elliptical streamlines that owe their elongation, ultimately, to highly eccentric planets. Unresolved issues and an alternative explanation for apsidal alignment are outlined.

A natural explanation for periodic X-ray outbursts in Be/X-ray binaries

description: When applied to Be/X-ray binaries, the viscous decretion disc model for Be stars naturally predicts the truncation of the circumstellar disc. The distance at which the circumstellar disc is truncated depends mainly on the orbital parameters and the viscosity. In systems with low eccentricity, the disc is expected to be truncated at the 3:1 resonance radius, for which the gap between the disc outer radius and the critical lobe radius of the Be star is so wide that, under normal conditions, the neutron star cannot accrete enough gas at periastron passage to show Type I X-ray outbursts. These systems will display only Type II X-ray outbursts. On the other hand, in systems with high orbital eccentricity, the disc truncation occurs at a much higher resonance radius, which is very close to or slightly beyond the critical lobe radius at periastron unless the viscosity is very low. In these systems, disc truncation cannot be efficient, allowing the neutron star to capture gas from the disc at every periastron passage and display Type I outbursts regularly. In contrast to the rather robust results for systems with low eccentricity and high eccentricity, the result for systems with moderate eccentricity depends on rather subtle details. Systems in which the disc is truncated in the vicinity of the critical lobe will regularly display Type I outbursts, whereas those with the disc significantly smaller than the critical lobe will show only Type II outbursts under normal conditions and temporary Type I outbursts when the disc is strongly disturbed.

title: Using systematic literature reviews to develop guidelines for the management of inflammatory arthritis
Creators: name: Bourn, Alexandra
Publisher: name: University of Southampton
Year: 2018

description: The vast amount of research published on clinical areas can make awareness of current data difficult. Systematic literature reviews (SLR) are performed in order to identify, appraise and summarise the available evidence relating to specific clinical questions, and form the basis of the process used to produce clinical guidelines.

This thesis describes the different processes used to produce guidelines using SLR. It includes a review of the literature on imaging in the management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) as examples.

To perform the RA review, key clinical questions were generated on the role of imaging in RA, which included the use of conventional radiography (CR),ultrasound (US), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT),dual-emission X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), digital X-ray radiogrammetry (DXR), scintigraphy and positron emission tomography (PET). A comprehensive SLR was then performed resulting in recommendations on the role of imaging in making a diagnosis of RA, detecting inflammation and damage, predicting outcome and response to treatment, monitoring disease activity, progression and remission. A similar process was used to produce recommendations in the management of JIA;however the lack of quality data meant that âpoints to considerâ were created.

The thesis also considers the quality of existing recommendations with potential areas for improvement discussed. It concludes with a discussion of the overall benefit of guidelines.
A survey of rigorous results on random Schroedinger operators for amorphous solids

description: Electronic properties of amorphous or non-crystalline disordered solids are often modelled by one-particle Schroedinger operators with random potentials which are ergodic with respect to the full group of Euclidean translations. We give a short, reasonably self-contained survey of rigorous results on such operators, where we allow for the presence of a constant magnetic field. We compile robust properties of the integrated density of states like its self-averaging, uniqueness and leading high-energy growth. Results on its leading low-energy fall-off, that is, on its Lifshits tail, are then discussed in case of Gaussian and non-negative Poissonian random potentials. In the Gaussian case with a continuous and non-negative covariance function we point out that the integrated density of states is locally Lipschitz continuous and present explicit upper bounds on its derivative, the density of states. Available results on Anderson localization concern the almost-sure pure-point nature of the low-energy spectrum in case of certain Gaussian random potentials for arbitrary space dimension. Moreover, under slightly stronger conditions all absolute spatial moments of an initially localized wave packet in the pure-point spectral subspace remain almost surely finite for all times. In case of one dimension and a Poissonian random potential with repulsive impurities of finite range, it is known that the whole energy spectrum is almost surely only pure point.

description: The nuclear chiral conundrum with crossing twin bands is investigated with three-dimensional tilted axis cranking covariant density functional theory in a fully self-consistent and microscopic way. The energy spectra and electromagnetic transition strengths for bands 1 and 2 in Ag-106 are well reproduced with two distinct configurations with two and four quasiparticles, respectively. For the four-quasiparticle configuration, a chiral vibrational band on top of band 2 is expected due to the soft Routhian curves. Therefore, it provides a microscopic and solid solution for the chiral conundrum in Ag-106. It also paves the way for understanding similar chiral structure in other nuclei in the future..

description: We use density functional theory to study the structure and the band structure of the monolayer FeSe deposited on the SrTiO$_3$ substrate with the additional layer of Se between them. Top of the SrTiO$_3$ is formed by the double TiO layer with and without oxygen vacancies. Several structures with different arrangements of the additional Se atoms above the double TiO layer is considered. Equilibrium structures were found and the band structures for them were obtained. Near the $Γ=(0,0,0)$ point of the Brillouin zone, the hole Fermi surface pockets persist and, additionally, an electron pocket appears. Thus neither the presence of the additional Se layer nor the oxygen vacancies in the double TiO layer leads to the sinking of hole bands below the Fermi level near the $Γ$ point. Necessity to include the strong electronic correlations into account is discussed.

description: The Halpha and mid-infrared mean disk surface brightnesses are compared in a sample of nearby spirals observed by ISOCAM. This shows that, in spiral disks, dust emission at 7 and 15 microns provides a reasonable star formation tracer. The fact that the 15 to 7 micron flux ratio is nearly constant in various global exciting conditions indicates a common origin, namely the aromatic infrared band carriers, and implies that at these wavelengths, dust emission from the disks of normal galaxies is dominated by photodissociation regions and not by HII regions themselves. We use this newly-found correlation between the mid-infrared and the Halpha line to investigate the nature of the link between the far-infrared (60 and 100 microns) and Halpha. Although the separation of the central regions from the disk is impossible to achieve in the far-infrared, we show that a circumnuclear contribution to the dust emission, having no equivalent counterpart in Halpha, is most likely responsible for the well-known non-linearity between far-infrared and Halpha fluxes in spiral galaxies. We derive a calibration of 7 and 15 micron fluxes in terms of star formation rates from a primary calibration of Halpha in the literature, and also outline the applicability limits of the proposed conversion, which should not be blindly extrapolated to objects whose nature is unknown.

description: 14-3-3 proteins are a group of seven dimeric adapter proteins that exert their biological function by interacting with hundreds of phosphorylated proteins, thus influencing their sub-cellular localization, activity or stability in the cell. Due to this remarkable interaction network, 14-3-3 proteins have been associated with several pathologies and the protein-protein interactions established with a number of partners are now considered promising drug targets. The activity of 14-3-3 proteins is often isoform specific and to our knowledge only one out of seven isoforms, 14-3-3$ζ$, has been assigned. Despite the availability of the crystal structures of all seven isoforms of 14-3-3, the additional NMR assignments of 14-3-3 proteins are important for both biological mechanism studies and chemical biology approaches. Herein, we present a robust backbone assignment of 14-3-3$σ$, which will allow advances in the discovery of potential therapeutic compounds. This assignment is now being applied to the discovery of both inhibitors and stabilizers of 14-3-3 protein-protein interactions.

description: This dissertation contains three chapters on causal inference in the context of environmental economics. The first chapter examines regulatory discretion and marginal deterrence in the 2014 revision of criteria for severe violations under the Clean Air Act (CAA). The study uses policy application variation and finds that post-revision, plants located in states most impacted by the policy exhibited a greater decrease in emissions. The estimated reduction of 2.5% in emissions-related damages from stationary air pollution sources equates to $2.4 billion annually. The second chapter investigates the effectiveness of non-traditional enforcement tools in promoting compliance and additional social benefits compared to traditional methods. It estimates the relative compliance and pollution effects of supplemental environmental projects (SEPs) versus monetary penalties. Results indicate a positive difference of 11.2% in compliance and a negative difference of 33.9% in emissions for all plants that implemented SEPs, suggesting that cooperative tools offer benefits beyond compliance. The third chapter analyzes SEPs through an environmental justice (EJ) lens, assessing their effectiveness in providing EJ benefits to pollution-impacted communities. Findings show that SEPs result in greater emissions reductions in minority and low-income areas compared to cash penalties, supporting the EJ efficacy of these projects.

This enhancement is achieved by roughening the target surface with copper nanoparticles of ~15 nm size. A simple model that invokes local field modifications by surface plasmon excitation and `lightning rod' effects explains the observed enhancement quantitatively and provides pointers to the design of structured surfaces for maximizing the emission.

 Neopisalia SCHEERPELTZ 1966: 16.
 Stenoleptusa SCHEERPELTZ 1966: 10; nov.syn.
 C o m m e n t: The subgenus Neopisalia (type species: Leptusa microphthalma REITTER 1887) previously included 26 species, 23 of which are confined to Turkey and the Caucasus region. Only two species were attributed to the subgenus Stenoleptusa (type species: Bolitochara laeviuscula HOCHHUTH 1849); both of them are distributed in the western Caucasus (including northeastern Anatolia and Armenia). The separation of both subgenera is mainly based on the morphology of the aedeagus, especially the length of the ventral process and of the long internal tube (see PACE 1989). In the meantime, however, species have been discovered whose aedeagal morphology is transitional between those of the species of Stenoleptusa and Neoleptusa; for a striking example see the illustrations of the aedeagus of L. sica ASSING in ASSING (2003). These observations suggest that the aedeagal morphology of the two species previously attributed to Stenoleptusa is an expression of intra- rather than intersubgeneric variation and that both subgenera are consequently synonymous, a conclusion supported also by the distributions of the two Stenoleptusa species. Since Neopisalia and Stenoleptusa were both described in the same article, the former is here designated as the senior synonym, and the latter is placed in its synonymy.
 In all, 14 species of Neopisalia, all of them with more or less restricted distributions, have become known from Turkey (ASSING 2007), where the distribution of the subgenus is confined to northeastern and central southern Anatolia (Map 2).

description: In this paper, we study the concentration and multiplicity of solutions to the following fractional Schrödinger-Poisson system \begin{equation*} \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} \varepsilon^{2s}(-Δ)^su+V(x)u+ϕu=f(u)+u^{2_s^{\ast}-1} & \hbox{in $\mathbb{R}^3$,} \varepsilon^{2t}(-Δ)^tϕ=u^2, u>0& \hbox{in $\mathbb{R}^3$,} \end{array} \right. \end{equation*} where $s>\frac{3}{4}$, $s,t\in(0,1)$, $\varepsilon>0$ is a small parameter, $f\in C^1(\mathbb{R}^{+},\mathbb{R})$ is subcritical, $V:\mathbb{R}^3\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ is a continuous bounded function. We establish a family of positive solutions $u_{\varepsilon}\in H_{\varepsilon}$ which concentrates around the local minima of $V$ in $Λ$ as $\varepsilon\rightarrow0$. With Ljusternik-Schnirelmann theory, we also obtain multiple solutions by employing the topology construct of the set where the potential $V$ attains its minimum.

description: Increased body mass index (BMI) is associated with several adverse pregnancy outcomes, though the underlying mechanism of this association has not been fully elucidated. A mediating role of low-grade systemic inflammation in these associations is suspected but has been understudied. Our objective was to examine the effect of pre-pregnancy BMI (pBMI) on maternal and neonatal pregnancy outcomes and to explore potential mediation of these effects by C-reactive protein (CRP), a first trimester peripheral marker of inflammation. Data from the prospective community-based ABCD-study cohort (n = 3547) was used to assess associations between self-reported continuous and categorized pBMI and outcome measures gestational hypertension (GH) and preeclampsia (PE), preterm birth (PTB) and small for gestational age (SGA) based on national perinatal registration linkage data. High-sensitivity CRP concentrations determined in serum were used to explore potential mediation of these associations by inflammation. Multivariable logistic regression analyses, adjusted for confounders, showed that pBMI was significantly related to gestational hypertensive disorders (odds ratio (OR) per standard deviation (SD) 1.66, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.51–1.83) and PTB (OR 1.20, 95% CI 1.05–1.37). Dose–response relationships between categorical pBMI and gestational hypertensive disorders (overweight OR 2.37, 95% CI 1.85–3.03 and obese OR 4.45, 95% CI 2.93–6.72) and PTB (obese OR 2.12, 95% CI 1.16–3.87) were found as well. SGA was only significantly more prevalent in the underweight BMI category (OR 2.06, 95% CI 1.33–3.19). Mediation analyses revealed small but significant indirect effects of pBMI on overall PTB (0.037, bootstrapped 95% CI 0.005–0.065) and spontaneous PTB (0.038, bootstrapped 95% CI 0.002–0.069) through higher CRP. CRP was not a significant mediator of associations between BMI and gestational hypertensive disorders although larger mediation was found for GH than for PE. Our findings provide additional evidence that high(er) pBMI increases the risk of adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes and that systemic inflammation mediates some of these risks. Further research in large cohorts including (morbidly) obese women is warranted to identify pathways that may be incorporated in future interventions to reduce the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes due to maternal obesity.

description: The set N of all null geodesics of a globally hyperbolic (d+1)-dimensional spacetime (M,g) is naturally a smooth (2d-1)-dimensional contact manifold. The sky of an event is the subset of N defined by all null geodesics through that event, and is an embedded Legendrian submanifold of N diffeomorphic to a (d-1)-dimensional sphere. It was conjectured by Low that for d=2 two events are causally related iff their skies are linked (in an appropriate sense). We use the contact structure and knot polynomial calculations to prove this conjecture in certain particular cases, and suggest that for d=3 smooth linking should be replaced with Legendrian linking.

description: We report on observations of black hole Swift J1357.2-0933, a member of the modest population of very faint X-ray transients. This source has previously shown intense dips in the optical lightcurve, a phenomena that has been linked to the existence of a "unique toroidal structure" in the inner region of the disc, seen at a high inclination. Our observations, carried out by the Neil Gehrels Swift and NuSTAR X-ray observatories, do not show the presence of intense dips in the optical light curves. We find that the X-ray light curves do not show any features that would straightforwardly support an edge-on configuration or high inclination configuration of the orbit. This is similar to what was seen in the X-ray observations of the source during its 2011 outburst. Moreover, the broadband spectra were well described with an absorbed power-law model without any signatures of the cut-off at energies above 10 keV, or any reflection from the disc or the putative torus. Thus, the X-ray data do not support the unique obscuring torus scenario proposed for J1357. We also performed a multi-wavelength study using the data of X-ray telescope and Ultraviolet/Optical Telescope aboard Swift, taken during the 4.5 months duration of the 2017 outburst. This is consistent with what was previously inferred for this source. We found a correlation between the simultaneous X-ray and ultraviolet/optical data and our study suggests that most of the reprocessed flux must be coming out in the ultraviolet.

description: We consider dynamical effects of additional perturbative forces due to the non-point mass nature of stars and planets: effects such as quadrupolar distortion and tidal friction in the systems of exo-planets. It is shown that these forces should not be neglected while modelling the dynamics of planetary systems, especially taking into account the undefined real masses of the planets due to unknown orbital inclinations and the unsatisfactory application of Keplerian fits to the radial velocity data in multiple planetary systems.

Abstract: This paper proposes a new technique to identify sets of branches that form heavily loaded and potentially vulnerable flowgates within power grids. To this end, a directed acyclic graph is used to model the instantaneous state of power grids. One of the advantages of directed acyclic graphs is they allow the identification of where power flows are coherent e.g where power flows in a uniform direction along a set of branches that partition the network into two islands. This paper uses topological sorts to identify many sets of branches having this property. Definitions are provided for two new concepts, termed coherent cut-sets and coherent crack-sets, which are particular sets of branches extracted from a specific topological sort. Notably, there are numerous possible topological sorts for a directed acyclic graph and calculating distinctive topological sorts is challenging. In this paper a novel optimization algorithm is proposed to find multiple, diverse topological sorts each of which implies many cut-sets. The effectiveness of the proposed methods for enhancing grid observability and situational awareness is demonstrated using two standard test networks.

description: In this work, we aim at predicting children's fluid intelligence scores based on structural T1-weighted MR images from the largest long-term study of brain development and child health. The target variable was regressed on a data collection site, socio-demographic variables and brain volume, thus being independent to the potentially informative factors, which are not directly related to the brain functioning. We investigate both feature extraction and deep learning approaches as well as different deep CNN architectures and their ensembles. We propose an advanced architecture of VoxCNNs ensemble, which yield MSE (92.838) on blind test.

description: In contrast to previous reports that leopard seals (Hydrurga leptonyx) are rare vagrants to New Zealand, we show that this species is a regular member of the marine fauna of this region. We present a first analysis from the New Zealand Leopard Seal Database – an extensive collation of 2,711 records of leopard seals within New Zealand between 1200 and 2018. Of these records, 51.2% (n = 1,408) were photographic. Leopard seal sightings have increased over time and been reported in all seasons and regions of New Zealand. Sightings are predominantly of adult individuals of good or excellent body condition, which differs to previous hypotheses suggesting that leopard seals visiting New Zealand shores are primarily juvenile animals in poor health condition. A total of 176 unique individuals have been identified in the New Zealand Leopard Seal Catalogue between 2014 and 2018 and preliminary results indicate that numbers per annum have continued to increase over time. Three leopard seal births and a number of juvenile animals (34% of the NZ records) have been documented. Considering the information presented here and the current definitions in the New Zealand Threat Classification System, the threat status of leopard seals within New Zealand waters should be reclassified from Vagrant to Resident.
