description: We report experimental measurements for ultrathin (< 15 nm) van der Waals heterostructures exhibiting external quantum efficiencies exceeding 50%, and show that these structures can achieve experimental absorbance > 90%. By coupling electromagnetic simulations and experimental measurements, we show that pn WSe2/MoS2 heterojunctions with vertical carrier collection can have internal photocarrier collection efficiencies exceeding 70%.

description: Motivated by the conjectured Penrose inequality and by the work of Hawking, Geroch, Huisken and Ilmanen in the null and the Riemannian case, we examine necessary conditions on flows of two-surfaces in spacetime under which the Hawking quasilocal mass is monotone. We focus on a subclass of such flows which we call uniformly expanding, which can be considered for null as well as for spacelike directions. In the null case, local existence of the flow is guaranteed. In the spacelike case, the uniformly expanding condition leaves a 1-parameter freedom, but for the whole family, the embedding functions satisfy a forward-backward parabolic system for which local existence does not hold in general. Nevertheless, we have obtained a generalization of the weak (distributional) formulation of this class of flows, generalizing the corresponding step of Huisken and Ilmanen's proof of the Riemannian Penrose inequality.

description: About 8% of the male population of the world are affected by a determined type of color vision disturbance, which varies from the partial to complete reduction of the ability to distinguish certain colors. A considerable amount of color blind people are able to live all life long without knowing they have color vision disabilities and abnormalities. Nowadays the evolution of information technology and computer science, specifically image processing techniques and computer graphics, can be fundamental to aid at the development of adaptive color blindness correction tools. This paper presents a software tool based on Fuzzy Logic to evaluate the type and the degree of color blindness a person suffer from. In order to model several degrees of color blindness, herein this work we modified the classical linear transform-based simulation method by the use of fuzzy parameters. We also proposed four new methods to correct color blindness based on a fuzzy approach: Methods A and B, with and without histogram equalization. All the methods are based on combinations of linear transforms and histogram operations. In order to evaluate the results we implemented a web-based survey to get the best results according to optimize to distinguish different elements in an image. Results obtained from 40 volunteers proved that the Method B with histogram equalization got the best results for about 47% of volunteers.

description: We present new results on the angular momentum evolution of dark matter halos. Halos, from N-body simulations, are classified according to their mass growth histories into two categories: the accretion category contains halos whose mass has varied continuously and smoothly, while the merger category contains halos which have undergone sudden and significant mass variations (greater than 1/3 of their initial mass per event). We observe for the growth of angular momentum that it continues well into the nonlinear regime, that it is correlated with mass growth and that it occurs in two phases: a fast followed by a slow phase. The spin parameter decreases with time for the accretion catalog whereas slightly increases for the merger catalog, but does not change when two catalogs are considered together, and furthermore it does not depend on halo mass or cosmological model. We also develop a simple model for the formation of a disk galaxy similar to Milky Way, and conclude that our own halo must have captured satellites in order to acquire the required angular momentum and to achieve most of the disk around z ~ 1.6. Angular momentum distribution indicates that at z ~ 1.6 only 22% of the halos have angular momentum of magnitude comparable to that of disk galaxies in the mass range of $(0.1-5)*10^{11}$ of solar mass, clearly insufficient to explain the present observed abundance of these objects.

description: We have developed a tunneling theory to describe the temperature dependence of tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) of the magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) with periodic grating barrier. Through the Patterson function approach, the theory can handle easily the influence of the lattice distortion of the barrier on the tunneling process of the electrons. The lattice distortion of the barrier is sensible to the temperature and can be quite easily weakened by the thermal relaxation of the strain, and thus the tunneling process of the electrons gets changed highly with the variation of the temperature of the system. That is just the physical mechanism for the temperature dependence of the TMR. From it, we find that the decrease of TMR with rising temperature is mostly carried by a change in the antiparallel resistance ($R_{AP}$), and the parallel resistance ($R_{P}$) changes so little that it seems roughly constant, if compared to the $R_{AP}$, and that, for the annealed MTJ, the $R_{AP}$ is significantly more sensitive to the strain than the $R_{P}$, and for non-annealed MTJ, both the $R_{P}$ and $R_{AP}$ are not sensitive to the strain. They are both in agreement with the experiments of the MgO-based MTJs. Other relevant properties are also discussed.

description: Accumulated evidence shows that melatonin possesses the potential to improve  lipid metabolism by modifying gut microbiota and glucose metabolism via regulating  the melatonin receptor signaling pathway. However, the contribution of melatonin  consumption on glucose homeostasis by affecting gut microbiota has not been investigated in diabetes. In the current work, we investigated the effect of melatonin  administration on gut microbiota and glucose homeostasis in db/db mice, a type 2  diabetes model with leptin receptor deficiency. Administration of melatonin through  drinking water (at 0.25% and 0.50%) for 12 weeks decreased diabetic polydipsia and  polyuria, increased insulin sensitivity and impeded glycemia. The accumulated fecal  levels of total short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and acetic acid are positively correlated  with diabetes-related parameters—homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) index and fasting blood glucose (FBG) level. The reprogramming of  gut microbiota structure and abundance and the reduction of fecal levels of SCFAs,  including acetic acid, butyric acid, isovaleric acid, caproic acid, and isobutyric acid,  by melatonin may be beneficial for enhancing insulin sensitivity and lowering FBG,  which were verified by the results of correlation analysis between acetic acid or total  SCFAs and HOMA-IR and FBG. In addition, the melatonin downregulated hepatic  genes, including fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase 1, forkhead box O1 alpha, thioredoxin interacting protein, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxy-kinase (PEPCK), PEPCK1 a  glucose-6-phosphatase catalytic subunit, that responsible for gluconeogenesis support the result that melatonin improved glucose metabolism. Overall, results showed  that the melatonin supplementation reduced fecal SCFAs level via reprogramming of  gut microbiota, and the reduction of fecal SCFAs level is associated with improved  glucose homeostasis in db/db mice.

description: The network of interactions in complex systems, strongly influences their resilience, the system capability to resist to external perturbations or structural damages and to promptly recover thereafter. The phenomenon manifests itself in different domains, e.g. cascade failures in computer networks or parasitic species invasion in ecosystems. Understanding the networks topological features that affect the resilience phenomenon remains a challenging goal of the design of robust complex systems. We prove that the non-normality character of the network of interactions amplifies the response of the system to exogenous disturbances and can drastically change the global dynamics. We provide an illustrative application to ecology by proposing a mechanism to mute the Allee effect and eventually a new theory of patterns formation involving a single diffusing species.
The Pioneer Anomaly: Seeking an explanation in newly recovered data

description: The Pioneer 10 and 11 spacecraft yielded very accurate navigation that was limited only by a small, anomalous frequency drift of their carrier signals received by the NASA Deep Space Network (DSN). This discrepancy, evident in the data for both spacecraft, was interpreted as an approximately constant acceleration and has become known as the Pioneer anomaly. The origin of this anomaly is yet unknown. Recent efforts to explain the effect included a search for independent confirmation, analyses of conventional mechanisms, even ideas rooted in new physics, and proposals for a dedicated mission. We assert that before any discussion of new physics and (or) a dedicated mission can take place, one must analyze the entire set of radiometric Doppler data received from Pioneer 10 and 11. We report on our efforts to recover and utilize the complete set of radio Doppler and telemetry records of both spacecraft. The collection of radio Doppler data for both missions is now complete; we are ready to begin its evaluation. We also made progress utilizing the recently recovered Pioneer telemetry data. We present a strategy for studying the effect of on-board generated small forces with this telemetry data, in conjunction with the analysis of the entire set of the Pioneer Doppler data. We report on the preparations for the upcoming analysis of the newly recovered data with the ultimate goal of determining the origin of the Pioneer anomaly. Finally, we discuss implications of our on-going research of the Pioneer anomaly for other missions, most notably for New Horizons, NASA's recently launched mission to Pluto.

description: It has been recently proposed that the observed 511 keV emission from the Galactic bulge could be the product of very light (1-100 MeV) annihilating dark matter particles. Other possible explanations for this signal are associated with stellar objects, such as hypernovae. In order to distinguish between annihilating light dark matter scenario and more conventional astrophysical sources for the bulge emission, we here propose the study of dwarf spheroidals such as Sagittarius. These galaxies have typical luminosities of $10^5 L_\odot$ but mass-to-light ratios of $\sim 100$. As there are comparatively few stars, the prospects for 511 keV emission from standard astrophysical scenarios are minimal. The dwarf spheroidals do, however, contain copious amounts of dark matter. INTEGRAL/SPI has observed the Sagittarius region. Analysis of this data for 511 keV emission will provide a test of MeV dark matter which can distinguish between annihilating dark matter and more standard astrophysics. The observation of such a signal from Sagittarius should be a ``smoking gun'' for MeV dark matter.

description: A numerical method of calculating the non-Markovian evolution of a driven atom radiating into a structured continuum is developed. The formal solution for the atomic reduced density matrix is written as a Markovian algorithm by introducing a set of additional, virtual density matrices which follow, to the level of approximation of the algorithm, all the possible trajectories of the photons in the electromagnetic field. The technique is perturbative in the sense that more virtual density matrices are required as the product of the effective memory time and the effective coupling strength become larger. The number of density matrices required is given by $3^{M}$ where $M$ is the number of timesteps per memory time. The technique is applied to the problem of a driven two-level atom radiating close to a photonic band gap and the steady-state correlation function of the atom is calculated.

description: Using a multiple scattering technique, we derived closed-form expressions for effective constitutive parameters and electro/magneto-strictive tensor components for 2D bi-anisotropic metamaterials. Using the principle of virtual work, we obtained the electromagnetic stress tensor that can be used to calculate the optical force density inside such media. The analytic expressions are tested against full wave numerical simulations. Our effective medium theory is essential for providing a complete macroscopic description of the optical and opto-mechanical properties of bi-anisotropic composites.

description: We report on new simultaneous phase resolved spectroscopic and polarimetric observations of the polar (AM Herculis star) V834 Cen during a high state of accretion. Strong emission lines and high levels of variable circular and linear polarization are observed over the orbital period. The polarization data is modelled using the Stokes imaging technique of Potter et al. The spectroscopic emission lines are investigated using the Doppler tomography technique of Marsh and Horne and the Roche tomography technique of Dhillon and Watson. Up to now all three techniques have been used separately to investigate the geometry and accretion dynamics in Cataclysmic Variables. For the first time, we apply all three techniques to simultaneous data for a single system. This allows us to compare and test each of the techniques against each other and hence derive a better understanding of the geometry, dynamics and system parameters of V834 Cen.

description: The evolutionary speed hypothesis (ESH) states that the molecular evolutionary rates of plants in the warm areas are higher than that in the cool areas. Nevertheless, largely due to the scarcity of molecular data from lower taxonomic lineages, ESH remains elusive in plants. In this study, we comprehensively conducted genome-wide comparative analyses of a total of 76 chloroplast (cp) genomes of the bamboos (Poaceae: Bambusoideae), with 10 of them newly generated, to test the ESH via investigating the potential association between their cp genome evolutionary rate and geographical distribution pattern. The results showed extreme heterogeneity of the evolutionary rate within the bamboos, with the lowest value found in temperate bamboos (tribe Arundinarieae) being approximately 1/4 of that in the tropical ones (tribe Olyreae). All the 91 non-coding loci and 75 coding loci evolve consistently faster in tribe Olyreae than that in tribe Arundinarieae. Most of the non-coding (82 out of 91) and coding (73 out of 75) loci in the tropical woody bamboos (tribe Bambuseae) also evolve faster than those in the temperate woody bamboos (tribe Arundinarieae). Moreover, the split of tropical and temperate bamboos was apparently accompanied with the change of cp genome evolutionary rate. This is by far the first case using cp genome data to support the ESH via showing the tropical plants evolve faster than their closely related temperate ones, and will shed new light on our understanding of ESH and the adaptation of plants.

description: Potassium is the most abundant cation in grape berries. It has important roles in grapevine physiology and winemaking. This study investigates the feasibility of using rootstocks to lower berry potassium concentrations ([K]) in 'Cabernet Sauvignon' grapevines. The ultimate target is to achieve lower pH and higher titratable acidity (TA) in grape juice so as to bring down the cost of acid adjustment during winemaking. The specific objective here is to provide new insights into the potential of particular rootstocks to modify K uptake by 'Cabernet Sauvignon' grapevines and their partitioning and accumulation into grape berries. The vineyard soils of a replicated rootstock trial located in the Limestone Coast of South Australia were characterised. Petiole, berry and juice nutrient content were assessed at oenological maturity of 'Cabernet Sauvignon' grown on eight different rootstocks. Rootstock had an impact on cations of the vegetative tissue of 'Cabernet Sauvignon', with Merbein 5512 having the lowest petiole [K]. The concentrations of major cations in the berry were, however, not altered by rootstock. While no particular rootstock stood out in limiting 'Cabernet Sauvignon' berry K accumulation, berries grown on the 'Börner' rootstock tended to have slightly lower concentrations (< 10 %) relative to vines on their own roots. Across the rootstocks, juice pH tended to increase with greater juice [K], while juice TA tended to decrease with greater juice [K]. It was found that juice TA was higher for the rootstocks 140 Ruggeri and 110 Richter, and juice pH tended to be lower for the rootstocks 110 Richter, 140 Ruggeri, Merbein 5512 and Merbein 5489. There was no effect of rootstock on total soluble solids.

description: We present an investigation of the electromagnetic pion form factor, $F_π(Q^2)$, at small values of the four-momentum transfer $Q^2$ ($\lesssim 0.25$ GeV$^2$), based on the gauge configurations generated by European Twisted Mass Collaboration with $N_f = 2$ twisted-mass quarks at maximal twist including a clover term. Momentum is injected using non-periodic boundary conditions and the calculations are carried out at a fixed lattice spacing ($a \simeq 0.09$ fm) and with pion masses equal to its physical value, 240 MeV and 340 MeV. Our data are successfully analyzed using Chiral Perturbation Theory at next-to-leading order in the light-quark mass. For each pion mass two different lattice volumes are used to take care of finite size effects. Our final result for the squared charge radius is $\langle r^2 \rangle_π= 0.443~(29)$ fm$^2$, where the error includes several sources of systematic errors except the uncertainty related to discretization effects. The corresponding value of the SU(2) chiral low-energy constant $\overline{\ell}_6$ is equal to $\overline{\ell}_6 = 16.2 ~ (1.0)$.

"Soft X-ray transient" outbursts which aren't soft

description: We have accumulated multiwavelength (X-ray, optical, radio) lightcurves for the eight black hole X-ray binaries which have been observed to enter a supposed `soft X-ray transient' outburst, but remained in the low/hard state throughout the outburst. Comparison of the lightcurve morphologies, spectral behaviour, properties of the quasi-periodic oscillations and the radio jet provides the first study of such objects as a sub-class of X-ray transients. However rather than assuming that these hard state X-ray transients are different from the `canonical' soft X-ray transient, we prefer to consider the possibility that new analysis of both soft and hard state X-ray transients in a spectral context will provide a model capable of explaining the outburst mechanisms of (almost) all black hole X-ray binaries.

Hall Viscosity and the Acoustic Faraday Effect

Subjects: subject: Other Condensed Matter (cond-mat.other)

description: For more than 20 years, observation of the non-dissipative Hall viscosity in the quantum Hall effect has been impeded by the difficulty to probe directly the momentum of the two-dimensional electron gas. However, in three-dimensional systems such as superfluid ${}^{3}\mathrm{He}\!\!-\!\!\mathrm{B}$, the momentum density is readily probed through transverse acoustic waves. We show that in a three-dimensional elastic medium supporting transverse waves, a non-vanishing Hall viscosity induces circular birefringence. Such an effect has been observed in ${}^{3}\mathrm{He}\!\!-\!\!\mathrm{B}$ in the presence of a weak magnetic field, and is known as the acoustic Faraday effect. The acoustic Faraday effect has been understood in terms of the Zeeman splitting of the excited order parameter modes which support the transverse wave propagation in the superfluid. We show that the Zeeman effect can generically lead to a non-zero Hall viscosity coefficient, and confirm this prediction using a simple phenomenological model for the ${}^{3}\mathrm{He}\!\!-\!\!\mathrm{B}$ collective modes. Therefore, we claim that the observation of the acoustic Faraday effect can be leveraged to make a direct observation of the Hall viscosity in superfluid ${}^{3}\mathrm{He}\!\!-\!\!\mathrm{B}$ in a magnetic field and other systems such as the crystalline $\mathrm{Tb}_{3}\mathrm{Ga}_{5}\mathrm{O}_{12}$ material.

description: Icariin molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) were prepared by precipitation polymerization. Prior to the polymerization, computer simulation was performed to sketchily choose the suitable functional monomer and the corresponding polymerization solvent. The optimized synthesis parameters, including the functional monomer acrylamide, the mixture of methanol and acetonitrile (V:V = 3:1) as the polymerization solvent, and the reaction molar ratio (1:6:80) of template molecule, functional monomer and cross-linker, were respectively obtained by single factor analysis and orthogonal design methods. The results of the adsorption experiments showed that the resultant MIPs exhibited good adsorption and recognition abilities to icariin. Scatchard analysis illustrated that the homogeneous binding sites only for icariin molecules were formed in the prepared MIPs.
Accumulated data and results from the recent study of dsRNA isolated from grapevines used in experiments of insect and graft transmission of 'Shiraz' disease

description: RT-PCR amplicons of dsRNA isolated from various grapevines, which were used in the experiments of transmission of 'Shiraz' disease (SD) from 'Cinsaut Blanc' clone P163/12 to SD-susceptible 'Merlot' and 'Shiraz' using mealybug Planococcus ficus and grafting were investigated. The amplicons were generated in RT-PCR based on virus-specific or random hexamers oligonucleotide primers. Standard molecular techniques and high-throughput sequencing (HTS), respectively, were applied. The results supported the hypothesis that GVA M5v variant present in 'Cinsaut Blanc' P163/12, which is a member of group II of GVA variants associated with SD, is crucial for developing this disease. HTS data did not reveal any other grapevine viruses besides GLRaV-3 and GVA in SD-affected grapevines, except for GVE which, however, was not present in all diseased plants.

description: One challenge that remains open in 3D deep learning is how to efficiently represent 3D data to feed deep networks. Recent works have relied on volumetric or point cloud representations, but such approaches suffer from a number of issues such as computational complexity, unordered data, and lack of finer geometry. This paper demonstrates that a mesh representation (i.e. vertices and faces to form polygonal surfaces) is able to capture fine-grained geometry for 3D reconstruction tasks. A mesh however is also unstructured data similar to point clouds. We address this problem by proposing a learning framework to infer the parameters of a compact mesh representation rather than learning from the mesh itself. This compact representation encodes a mesh using free-form deformation and a sparse linear combination of models allowing us to reconstruct 3D meshes from single images. In contrast to prior work, we do not rely on silhouettes and landmarks to perform 3D reconstruction. We evaluate our method on synthetic and real-world datasets with very promising results. Our framework efficiently reconstructs 3D objects in a low-dimensional way while preserving its important geometrical aspects.

description: We investigate quantum tunnelling methods for calculating black hole temperature, specifically the null geodesic method of Parikh and Wilczek and the Hamilton-Jacobi Ansatz method of Angheben et al. We consider application of these methods to a broad class of spacetimes with event horizons, inlcuding Rindler and non-static spacetimes such as Kerr-Newman and Taub-NUT. We obtain a general form for the temperature of Taub-NUT-Ads black holes that is commensurate with other methods. We examine the limitations of these methods for extremal black holes, taking the extremal Reissner-Nordstrom spacetime as a case in point.

description: We consider complements of standard Seifert surfaces of special alternating links. On these handlebodies, we use Honda's method to enumerate those tight contact structures whose dividing sets are isotopic to the link, and find their number to be the leading coefficient of the Alexander polynomial. The Euler classes of the contact structures are identified with hypertrees in a certain hypergraph. Using earlier work, this establishes a connection between contact topology and the Homfly polynomial. We also show that the contact invariants of our tight contact structures form a basis for sutured Floer homology. Finally, we relate our methods and results to Kauffman's formal knot theory.
