description: The reference design for the next-generation cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiment, CMB-S4, relies on large arrays of transition edge sensor (TES) bolometers coupled to Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID)-based readout systems. Mapping the CMB to near cosmic variance limits will enable the search for signatures of inflation and constrain dark energy and neutrino physics. AlMn TESes provide simple film manufacturing and highly uniform arrays over large areas to meet the requirements of the CMB-S4 experiment. TES parameters such as critical temperature and normal resistance must be tuned to experiment specifications and can be varied based on geometry and steps in the fabrication process such as deposition layering, geometry, and baking time and temperature. Using four-terminal sensing, we measured $T_C$ and $R_N$ of AlMn 2000 ppm films and devices of varying thicknesses fabricated at Argonne National Laboratory to motivate device geometries and fabrication processes to tune $T_C$ to 150-200 mK and $R_N$ to $\sim$10 mOhms. Measurements of IV curves and time constants for the resulting devices of varying leg length were made using time-division SQUID multiplexing, and determined $T_C$, $G$, $k$, $f_{3db}$, and $R_N$. We present the results of these tests along with the geometries and fabrication steps used to tune the device parameters to the desired limits.

description: The invariants of finite-dimensional representations of simple Lie algebras, such as even-degree indices and anomaly numbers, are considered in the context of the non-crystallographic finite reflection groups $H_2$, $H_3$ and $H_4$. Using a representation-orbit replacement, the definitions and properties of the indices are formulated for individual orbits of the examined groups. The indices of orders two and four of the tensor product of $k$ orbits are determined. Using the branching rules for the non-crystallographic Coxeter groups, the embedding index is defined similarly to the Dynkin index of a representation. Moreover, since the definition of the indices can be applied to any orbit of non-crystallographic type, the algorithm allowing to search for the orbits of smaller radii contained within any considered one is presented for the Coxeter groups $H_2$ and $H_3$. The geometrical structures of nested polytopes are exemplified.

In particular, we emphasize that if a region is asymptotically de Sitter in the future, holographic arguments by themselves place no bound on the number of past e-foldings. We also comment briefly on holographic restrictions on the production of baby universes.

description: In all but special circumstances, measurements of time-dependent processes reflect internal structures and correlations only indirectly. Building predictive models of such hidden information sources requires discovering, in some way, the internal states and mechanisms. Unfortunately, there are often many possible models that are observationally equivalent. Here we show that the situation is not as arbitrary as one would think. We show that generators of hidden stochastic processes can be reduced to a minimal form and compare this reduced representation to that provided by computational mechanics--the epsilon-machine. On the way to developing deeper, measure-theoretic foundations for the latter, we introduce a new two-step reduction process. The first step (internal-event reduction) produces the smallest observationally equivalent sigma-algebra and the second (internal-state reduction) removes sigma-algebra components that are redundant for optimal prediction. For several classes of stochastic dynamical systems these reductions produce representations that are equivalent to epsilon-machines.

description: Gaia's milli-arcsec (mas) astrometric precision allows systematic identification of optically-selected sub-kpc dual active galactic nuclei (AGN), off-nucleus AGN, and small-scale lensed quasars by `varstrometry' -- where variability-induced astrometric jitter, i.e., temporal displacements of photocenter in unresolved sources, can be reasonably well detected or constrained. This approach extends systematic searches for small-scale ($\gtrsim$ mas) dual and off-nucleus AGN to poorly explored regime between $\sim 10$ pc and $\sim 1$ kpc, with Gaia's full sky coverage and depth to $G\sim 21$. We outline the general principles of this method and calculate the expected astrometric signals from the full time series of photocenter measurements and light curves. We demonstrate the feasibility of varstrometry by using Gaia DR2 data on a sample of variable pre-main sequence stars with known close companions. We find that extended host galaxies have a significant impact on the accuracy of astrometric and photometric variability in Gaia DR2, a situation to be improved in future Gaia releases. Using spectroscopically confirmed SDSS quasars, we present several examples of candidate sub-kpc off-nucleus or dual AGN selected from Gaia DR2. We discuss the merits and limitations of this method and follow-up strategy for promising candidates. We highlight Gaia's potential of systematically discovering and characterizing the sub-kpc off-nucleus and dual AGN population in the entire optical sky.

description: We study the coherence of the near-infrared and X-ray background fluctuations and the X-ray spectral properties of the sources producing it. We use data from multiple Spitzer and Chandra surveys, including the UDS/SXDF surveys, the Hubble Deep Field North, the EGS/AEGIS field, the Chandra Deep Field South and the COSMOS surveys, comprising $\sim$2275 Spitzer/IRAC hours and $\sim$~16 Ms of Chandra data collected over a total area of $\sim$~1~deg$^2$. We report an overall $\sim$5$σ$ detection of a cross-power signal on large angular scales $>$ 20$''$ between the 3.6 and 4.5\mum\ and the X-ray bands, with the IR vs [1-2] keV signal detected at 5.2$σ$. The [0.5-1] and [2-4] keV bands are correlated with the infrared wavelengths at a $\sim$1$-$3$σ$ significance level. The hardest X-ray band ([4-7] keV) alone is not significantly correlated with any infrared wavelengths due to poor photon and sampling statistics. We study the X-ray SED of the cross-power signal. We find that its shape is consistent with a variety of source populations of accreting compact objects, such as local unabsorbed AGNs or high-z absorbed sources. We cannot exclude that the excess fluctuations are produced by more than one population. Because of poor statistics, the current relatively broad photometric bands employed here do not allow distinguishing the exact nature of these compact objects or if a fraction of the fluctuations have instead a local origin.

description: A bacia hidrográfica do Turvo Grande está localizada na região norte-noroeste do Estado de São Paulo e apresenta uma área de drenagem de 15.975 km2 onde os principais cursos de água são os rios São Domingos, da Onça, Turvo, Preto, Grande e da Cachoeirinha. Abrange a área de 64 municípios e uma população em torno de 1,2 milhão de pessoas, possui uma intensa atividade agropecuária e uma expressiva atividade industrial. No Estado de São Paulo, juntamente com as bacias hidrográficas do Rio Piracicaba e Alto Tietê são consideradas críticas por possuírem uma disponibilidade menor de 1500 m3/habitante/ano. A do Turvo Grande possui uma disponibilidade em torno de 960m3/habitante/ano, e tem sua situação agravada pelo despejo de esgoto urbano (em média menos de 18% recebe tratamento adequado), rejeitos industriais e pelo impacto da atividade agropecuária tais como a erosão e a contaminação por agrotóxicos. Esse trabalho desenvolveu-se na microbacia hidrográfica do Córrego da Lagoa, um dos principais mananciais que abastecem a cidade de São José do Rio Preto. Juntamente ao Córrego dos Macacos e ao Rio Preto abastecem em torno de 40% das necessidades de uma população estimada em 372 mil habitantes. A microbacia do Córrego da Lagoa possui uma área de 2.340 ha onde existem aproximadamente 56 propriedades, em sua maioria pequenas e que estão organizados em torno de uma associação de produtores. Objetivou-se nessa investigação, identificar o impacto da atividade agropecuária sobre a qualidade da água, em especial, a questão da contaminação por agrotóxicos na microbacia do Córrego da Lagoa e oferecer, a partir desses resultados, subsídio à execução do programa estadual de manejo de bacias hidrográficas. A metodologia desse trabalho está baseada no levantamento de dados secundários na literatura disponível, nos dados disponíveis no Comitê da Bacia Hidrográfica Turvo Grande (CBH-TG) e nas agências de assistência técnica oficial. A coleta de dados primários foi realizada através da aplicação de um extenso questionário a todos os produtores e da georeferenciação das áreas de produção em relação ao curso de água. A conclusão desse trabalho aponta para uma situação preocupante quanto ao uso e manejo dos agrotóxicos que podem afetar a água captada e servida a população urbana e afetar a qualidade de vida da população local.

description: When scholars study joint distributions of multiple variables, copulas are useful. However, if the variables are not monotonically correlated with each other yet are still not independent, most of the conventional copulas are not up to the task. Examples include (inversed) U-shaped relationships and heteroskedasticity. To fill this gap, this article sheds new light on a little-known copula, which I call the “normal mode copula.” I characterize the copula’s properties and show that the copula is asymmetric and non monotonic under certain conditions. I also apply the copula to a dataset about U.S. House vote share and campaign expenditure to demonstrate that the normal mode copula has better performance than other conventional copulas.

description: Functional network changes associated with Braille reading are different in early blind (EB) and late blind (LB) participants. The objectives were to study the functional connectivity (of memory and language areas based on blood oxygen level-dependent [BOLD] mapping) and structural changes in EB and LB children and adolescents. A total of 110 participants (all right-handed) were recruited in two age groups of 6–12 years (children) and 13–19 years (adolescents) consisting of EB (n = 20), LB (n = 20), and sighted controls (SC, n = 15) in each group. Group differences were estimated between children and adolescent groups. Structural changes in visual cortex and medial temporal area, increased BOLD activations and altered functional connectivity in the primary visual cortex, inferior frontal gyrus, middle temporal gyrus, and hippocampus during Braille reading task were observed in adolescents as compared with children blind groups (pFDR corrected <0.05). Functional results were positively correlated with duration of Braille reading and age at onset in EB and LB groups (p ≤ 0.01). Visual, language, and learning memory networks were different in adolescents and children of both EB and LB groups, and also between EB and LB groups suggesting cross-modal plasticity. The functional and structural results revealed education dependent cross-modal plasticity in visually impaired participants. Memory and language network were affected more in the LB group than the EB group, and more in children than adolescents.
Effects of interatomic collisions on atom laser outcoupling

description: We present a computational approach to the outcoupling in a simple one-dimensional atom laser model, the objective being to circumvent mathematical difficulties arising from the breakdown of the Born and Markov approximations. The approach relies on the discretization of the continuum representing the reservoir of output modes, which allows the treatment of arbitrary forms of outcoupling as well as the incorporation of non-linear terms in the Hamiltonian, associated with interatomic collisions. By considering a single-mode trapped condensate, we study the influence of elastic collisions between trapped and free atoms on the quasi steady-state population of the trap, as well as the energy distribution and the coherence of the outcoupled atoms.

Type species of the genus by original designation.
 Type locality. Brazil.
 Diagnosis. Transverse postmedial bands have different colors on FW and HW. FW postmedial band pale or darker yellow. HW band completely or mostly white, extended to anal margin or fading at cell Cu2. HW blue iridescence more conspicuous in males than in females. Male genitalia indistinguishable from D. geraensis. In females only, dorsal FW postmedial band with a proximal branch, ventral HW with a small eyespot in cell M1, and ventral HW postmedial band interrupted by eyespot in cell Cu1.
 Distribution. Brazil, from Bahia to Santa Catarina (D’Abrera 1987, Brown 1992, Brown and Freitas 2000, Uehara-Prado et al. 2004).
 Remarks. d’Araújo e Silva et al. (1968) reported immature stages of D. rusina on “palmito” (Euterpe edulis, Arecaceae) and Bambusa sp. (Gramineae), and Brown (1992) found it on “bamboos” and “palms”, but a larval description was not provided by these authors. The fifth instar larva of D. rusina rusina was found to feed on the palm Geonoma schottiana (Arecaeae), and both larva and pupa were described by Casagrande and Mielke (2000). Casagrande (2004) listed three subspecies of D. rusina; nominal D. r. rusina from ‘Brazil’, D. r. delanira Hewitson, 1862 from ‘Brazil’, and D. r. principesa Stichel, 1904 from Espírito Santo, Brazil. In the Lista Oficial da Fauna Brasileira ameaçada de extinção, D. delanira is considered a separate species from D. rusina, and it is listed as critically endangered (http:// www.biodiversitas.org.br/f_ameaca/p_fauna.asp, consulted on 26 January, 2009). This butterfly inhabits high altitude areas (~ 1200 m) in the vicinities of Nova Friburgo, Rio de Janeiro State, and its taxonomic status should be verified.

description: We present high spatial resolution imaging of the CO(1-0) line from the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) of COSMOS27289, a massive, compact star forming galaxy at z=2.234. This galaxy was selected to be structurally similar to z~2 passive galaxies. Our previous observations showed that it is very gas-poor with respect to typical star-forming galaxies at these redshifts, consistent with a rapid transition to quiescence as the molecular gas is depleted. The new data show that both the molecular gas fraction f_H2 = M_H2/M_star and the molecular gas depletion time t_dep = M_H2/SFR are lower in the central 1-2kpc of the galaxy and rise at larger radii ~2-4kpc. These observations are consistent with a scenario in which COSMOS27289 will imminently cease star formation in the inner regions before the outskirts, i.e. inside-out quenching, the first time this phenomenon has been seen via observations of molecular gas in the high-redshift universe. We find good qualitative and quantitative agreement with a hydrodynamical simulation of galaxy quenching, in which the central suppression of molecular gas arises due to rapid gas consumption and outflows that evacuate the central regions of gas. Our results provide independent evidence for inside-out quenching of star formation as a plausible formation mechanism for z~2 quiescent galaxies.

The eigenmode correlator is conjectured to be proportional to the imaginary part of the Green's function. The generalization is applicable not only to scalar waves in the interior of homogeneous isotropic systems where the correlator is a Bessel function, but to arbitrary points of heterogeneous systems as well. In view of recent experimental measurements, expressions for the intensity correlator in chaotic plates are derived.

description: We have analysed the Herschel and SCUBA-2 dust continuum observations of the main filament in the Taurus L1495 star forming region, using the Bayesian fitting procedure PPMAP. (i) If we construct an average profile along the whole length of the filament, it has fwhm $\simeq 0.087\pm 0.003\,{\rm pc};\;$, but the closeness to previous estimates is coincidental. (ii) If we analyse small local sections of the filament, the column-density profile approximates well to the form predicted for hydrostatic equilibrium of an isothermal cylinder. (iii) The ability of PPMAP to distinguish dust emitting at different temperatures, and thereby to discriminate between the warm outer layers of the filament and the cold inner layers near the spine, leads to a significant reduction in the surface-density, $\varSigma$, and hence in the line-density, $μ$. If we adopt the canonical value for the critical line-density at a gas-kinetic temperature of $10\,{\rm K}$, $μ_{_{\rm CRIT}}\simeq 16\,{\rm M_{_\odot}\,pc^{-1}}$, the filament is on average trans-critical, with ${\barμ}\sim μ_{_{\rm CRIT}};\;$ local sections where $μ>μ_{_{\rm CRIT}}$ tend to lie close to pre-stellar cores. (iv) The ability of PPMAP to distinguish different types of dust, i.e. dust characterised by different values of the emissivity index, $β$, reveals that the dust in the filament has a lower emissivity index, $β\leq1.5$, than the dust outside the filament, $β\geq 1.7$, implying that the physical conditions in the filament have effected a change in the properties of the dust.

description: This work presents swarm parameters of electrons (the bulk drift velocity, the bulk longitudinal component of the diffusion tensor, and the effective ionization frequency) in C$_2$H$_n$, with $n =$ 2, 4 and 6, measured in a scanning drift tube apparatus under time-of-flight conditions over a wide range of the reduced electric field, 1 Td $\leq\,E/N\,\leq$ 1790 Td (1 Td = $10^{-21}$ Vm$^2$). The effective steady-state Townsend ionization coefficient is also derived from the experimental data. A kinetic simulation of the experimental drift cell allows estimating the uncertainties introduced in the data acquisition procedure and provides a correction factor to each of the measured swarm parameters. These parameters are compared to results of previous experimental studies, as well as to results of various kinetic swarm calculations: solutions of the electron Boltzmann equation under different approximations (multiterm and density gradient expansions) and Monte Carlo simulations. The experimental data are consistent with most of the swarm parameters obtained in earlier studies. In the case of C$_2$H$_2$, the swarm calculations show that the thermally excited vibrational population should not be neglected, in particular, in the fitting of cross sections to swarm results.

description: Dengue virus poses a serious threat to global health as the causative agent of the dengue fever. Currently, there is no approved therapeutic, and broadly neutralizing antibodies recognizing all four serotypes may be an effective treatment. High-throughput immune repertoire sequencing and bioinformatic analysis enable in-depth understanding of the immune response in dengue infection. Here, we use these technologies and apply machine learning to identify rare and underrepresented broadly neutralizing antibody sequences through investigation of antibody response in dengue. We observed challenging the immune system with dengue elicits the following signatures on the antibody repertoire: (i) an increase of the diversity in the CDR3 regions and the germline genes; (ii) a change in the architecture by eliciting power-law network distributions and enrichment in polar amino acids of the CDR3; (iii) an increase in the expression of transcription factors of the JNK/Fos pathways and ribosomal proteins. Moreover, our work demonstrates the applicability of computational methods and machine learning to high-throughput antibody repertoire sequencing datasets for neutralizing antibody candidate identification. Further investigation with antibody expression and functional assays is planned to validate the obtained results.

description: This paper studies the impacts of stochastic load fluctuations, namely the fluctuation intensity and the load power variation speed, on power system dynamic voltage stability. Additionally, the trade-off relationship between the two parameters is revealed, which provides important insights regarding the potential of using energy storage to maintain voltage stability under high uncertainty. To this end, Stochastic Differential-Algebraic Equations (SDAEs) are used to model the stochastic load variation; bifurcation analysis is carried out to explain the influence of stochasticity. Numerical study and Monte Carlo simulations on the IEEE 14-bus system demonstrate that a larger fluctuation intensity or a slower load power variation speed may lead to a smaller voltage stability margin. To the best of authors' knowledge, this work uncovers the impacts of the time evolution property of the driving parameters, i.e., the load power variation speed and its trade off effect with the fluctuation intensity on the size of the dynamic voltage stability margin.

description: Scandium production from wastes, such as bauxite residue or TiO2 production wastes are gaining focus due to the high economical value of this element. To evaluate the environmental impact of such production technologies a scoring and classification system was developed and adapted to the residues generated during the entire technological process chain. The system enabled us to rank the input and output materials and the residues in each technological step based on environmental toxicity and potential environmental effects.

description: Aims To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of adding prolonged-release (PR)-fampridine to best supportive care (BSC) versus BSC alone for the improvement of walking ability in patients with MS. Methods A cost-utility analysis based on a Markov model was developed to model responders and timed 25-foot walk (T25FW) scores, accumulated costs, and quality-adjusted life-years (QALY) in adults with MS and Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) scores between 4 and 7. The analysis was conducted from a Swedish societal perspective. Results In the base-case analysis, PR-fampridine plus BSC led to a higher QALY gain than BSC alone. The largest direct cost was professional care provision followed by hospital inpatient stays while the indirect cost was loss of earnings due to days off work. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) for PR-fampridine plus BSC compared with BSC alone was 57,109 kr/QALY (5,607 €/QALY [1 kr =0.0981762 € on 8 April 2021 [1]] and 6,675 $/QALY [1 kr =0.116890 $ on 8 April 2021 [1]]). All sensitivity analyses performed resulted in ICERs below 500,000 Swedish Kronor (kr) (49,088 € and 58,445 $ [1]). Limitations Resource use data were not specific to the Swedish market. Conclusions PR-fampridine represents a cost-effective treatment for MS-related walking impairment in Sweden, due to improvements in patients’ quality of life and reduced healthcare resource utilization.

description: Spatially-resolved NMR is used to probe the magnetism in and around vortex cores of nearly optimally-doped Tl_2Ba_2CuO_{6+x} (Tc=85 K). The NMR relaxation rate 1/T_1 at Tl site provides a direct evidence that the AF spin correlation is significantly enhanced in the vortex core region. In the core region Cu spins show a local AF ordering with moments parallel to the layers at T_N=20K. Above T_N the core region is in the paramagnetic state which is a reminiscence of the state above the pseudogap temperature (T*~120 K), indicating that the pseudogap disappears within cores.

description: We have used the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 on board the Hubble Space Telescope to obtain V and I images of seven nearby galaxies. For each, we have measured a distance using the tip of the red giant branch (TRGB) method. By comparing the TRGB distances to published Cepheid distances, we investigate the metallicity dependence of the Cepheid period-luminosity relation. Our sample is supplemented by 10 additional galaxies for which both TRGB and Cepheid distances are available in the literature, thus providing a uniform coverage in Cepheid abundances between 1/20 and 2 (O/H)solar. We find that the difference between Cepheid and TRGB distances decreases monotonically with increasing Cepheid abundance, consistent with a mean metallicity dependence of the Cepheid distance moduli of (delta(m-M))/(delta[O/H]) = -0.24 +- 0.05 mag/dex.

description: Witten long ago pointed out that the simplest Kaluza-Klein theory, without supersymmetry, is subject to a catastrophic instability. There are a variety of string theories which are potentially subject to these instabilities. Here we explore a number of questions: how generic are these instabilities? what happens when a potential is generated on the moduli space? in the presence of supersymmetry breaking, is there still a distinction between supersymmetric and non-supersymmetric states?

description: To determine whether temporal artery biopsy (TABx) or Doppler ultrasound (US) of the temporal artery is the preferred confirmatory test for giant cell arteritis, an online survey of ophthalmologists and neurologists in North America, Europe and Israel was conducted in 2019; Canadian rheumatologists were also included. There were 406 survey participants with an estimated survey response rate of 18%. Ninety-four per cent of North American practitioners preferred TABx compared with 74% of their European counterparts. Two per cent of North American practitioners preferred Doppler US versus 24% of European physicians. Regional differences were statistically significant (p < .001).
A new insight into the negative-mass paradox of gravity and the accelerating universe

Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: General Physics (physics.gen-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The discovery of acceleration of the universe expansion in recent astrophysics research prompts the author to propose that the Newton's gravitation law can be generalized to accommodate the antimatter: While the force between matters(antimatters) is attractive, the force between matter and antimatter is a repulsive one. A paradox of negative-mass in gravity versus a basic symmetry (m-->-m) based on quantum mechanics is discussed in sufficient detail so that the new postulate could be established quite naturally. Corresponding modification of the theory of general relativity is also suggested. If we believe in the symmetry of particle and antiparticle as well as the antigravity between them, it might be possible to consider a new scenario of the expansion of universe which might provide some new insight into the interpretation of cosmological phenomena including the accelerating universe observed.

description: We study by means of molecular dynamics simulations the aging behavior of a molecular model of ortho-terphenyl. We find evidence of a a non-monotonic evolution of the volume during an isothermal-isobaric equilibration process, a phenomenon known in polymeric systems as Kovacs effect. We characterize this phenomenology in terms of landscape properties, providing evidence that, far from equilibrium, the system explores region of the potential energy landscape distinct from the one explored in thermal equilibrium. We discuss the relevance of our findings for the present understanding of the thermodynamics of the glass state.
