description: SGR 0526-66 was the first soft gamma-ray repeater (SGR) from which a giant flare was detected in March 1979, suggesting the existence of magnetars, i.e. neutron stars powered by the decay of their extremely strong magnetic field. Since then, very little information has been obtained on this object, mainly because it has been burst-inactive since 1983 and the study of its persistent X-ray emission has been hampered by its large distance and its location in a X-ray bright supernova remnant in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Here we report on a comprehensive analysis of all the available XMM-Newton observations of SGR 0526-66. In particular, thanks to a deep observation taken in 2007, we measured its pulsation period (P = 8.0544 +/- 0.0002 s) 6 years after its latest detection by Chandra. This allowed us to detect for the first time a significant reduction of its spin-down rate. From a comparison with two shorter XMM-Newton observations performed in 2000 and 2001, we found no significant changes in the spectrum, which is well modelled by an absorbed power-law with nH = 4.6E+21 cm^-2 and photon index = 3.27. The high luminosity (about 4E+35 erg/s, in the 1-10 keV energy band) still observed about 25 years after the latest detection of bursting activity places SGR 0526-66 in the group of bright and persistent magnetar candidates.

Some aspects of the population dynamics of the mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae in lodgepole pine forests of British Columbia
Creators: name: Peterman, Randall Martin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Outbreaks of mountain pine beetle (Dendrcctonus ronderosae Hopk.) are common in lodgepole pine forests cf western North America. Characteristics of both the tark beetle and its host tree were compared using field replicates cf epidemic and endemic areas to test for any possible intrinsic differences between populations cf trees cr insects in these two different states. laboratory studies were conducted on beetle dispersal characteristics and cn effects of attack density and female parent size on beetle reproductive success and offspring size. Results are as follows: Trees in outbreak areas are older than in endemic regions, and trees of a given size and beetle attack density are more likely to be overcome and to permit successful beetle reproduction in epidemic than in endemic areas. However, tree spatial distributions, average attack densities and proportions of trees unsuccessfully attacked by beetles dc net differ consistently between epidemic and endemic areas. A method (in which blue-staining fungi were inoculated into trees) of measuring potential of trees tc resist mountain pine beetle was tested and found to be inadequate. Epidemic and endemic bark beetles did not differ consistently in dispersal, size, cr reproductive characteristics. However, early emerging beetles were larger than late emergers and females had a larger coefficient of variation in size than males. Field and laboratory data shew that the number of offspring emerging per parent decreases with increasing attack density. Breeding experiments further indicated that, 1) small female parents produce fewer and smaller offspring than large females, 2) small female parents produce female offspring with more strongly bimcdal size distributions than large females, and 3) high parental attack densities result in smaller offspring. Dispersal studies on the insect using chemical extracts of lodgepole pine bark showed that early emerging beetles are more likely to respond positively to tree chemicals than late emergers with the same flight history. Increasing lengths of flight increase female but not male responses to these chemicals. Evidence from a simulation model is presented tc support the hypothesis that the age at which lodgepcle pine normally becomes susceptible to mountain pine beetle attack is clcse to the age at which certain tree fitness measures are maximized.

description: Molecular transitions recently discovered at redshift z_abs=2.059 toward the bright background quasar J2123-0050 are analysed to limit cosmological variation in the proton-to-electron mass ratio, mu=m_p/m_e. Observed with the Keck telescope, the optical echelle spectrum has the highest resolving power and largest number (86) of H_2 transitions in such analyses so far. Also, (seven) HD transitions are used for the first time to constrain mu-variation. These factors, and an analysis employing the fewest possible free parameters, strongly constrain mu's relative deviation from the current laboratory value: dmu/mu =(+5.6+/-5.5_stat+/-2.9_sys)x10^{-6}, indicating an insignificantly larger mu in the absorber. This is the first Keck result to complement recent null constraints from three systems at z_abs>2.5 observed with the Very Large Telescope. The main possible systematic errors stem from wavelength calibration uncertainties. In particular, distortions in the wavelength solution on echelle order scales are estimated to contribute approximately half the total systematic error component, but our estimate is model dependent and may therefore under or overestimate the real effect, if present. To assist future mu-variation analyses of this kind, and other astrophysical studies of H_2 in general, we provide a compilation of the most precise laboratory wavelengths and calculated parameters important for absorption-line work with H_2 transitions redwards of the hydrogen Lyman limit.

description: Triton is the largest moon of the Neptune system and possesses a thin nitrogen atmosphere with trace amounts of carbon monoxide and methane, making it of similar composition to that of the dwarf planet Pluto. Like Pluto and Saturn's moon Titan, Triton has a haze layer thought to be composed of organics formed through photochemistry. Here, we perform atmospheric chamber experiments of 0.5% carbon monoxide and 0.2% methane in molecular nitrogen at 90 K and 1 mbar to generate Triton haze analogues. We then characterize the physical and chemical properties of these particles. We measure their production rate, their bulk composition with combustion analysis, their molecular composition with very high resolution mass spectrometry, and their transmission and reflectance from the optical to the near-infrared (0.4 to 5 microns) with Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. We compare these properties to existing measurements of Triton's tenuous atmosphere and its surface, as well as contextualize these results in view of all the small, hazy nitrogen-rich worlds of our solar system. We find that carbon monoxide present at greater mixing ratios than methane in the atmosphere can lead to significantly oxygen- and nitrogen-rich haze materials. These Triton haze analogues have clear observable signatures in their near-infrared spectra, which may help us differentiate the mechanisms behind haze formation processes across diverse solar system bodies.

description: We present XMM RGS and Chandra LETG observations of the blazar, H 2356-309, located behind the Sculptor Wall, a large-scale galaxy structure expected to harbor high-density Warm-Hot Intergalactic Medium (WHIM). Our simultaneous analysis of the RGS and LETG spectra yields a 3-sigma detection of the crucial redshifted O vii K-alpha line with a column density (>~ 10^{16} cm^{-2}) consistent with similar large-scale structures produced in cosmological simulations. This represents the first detection of non-local WHIM from X-ray absorption studies where XMM and Chandra data are analyzed simultaneously and the absorber redshift is already known, thus providing robust evidence for the expected repository of the "missing baryons".

description: Through an effective field theory approach, we analyze the new physics corrections to muon and beta decays and their effects on the extractions of V_ud and V_us. Assuming nearly flavor blind NP interactions, we find that the only quantity sensitive to NP is Delta_CKM = |V_ud|^2 + |V_us|^2 + |V_ub|^2 - 1, that receives contributions from four short distance operators. The phenomenological bound Delta_CKM = (-1 \pm 6) 10^-4 provides strong constraints on all four operators, corresponding to an effective scale Lambda > 11 TeV (90% CL). Depending on the operator, this constraint is at the same level or better than that generated by the Z pole observables.

description: We show that models of inflection point inflation exhibit a phase transition from a region in parameter space where they are of large field type to a region where they are of small field type. The phase transition is between a universal behavior, with respect to the initial condition, at the large field region and non-universal behavior at the small field region. The order parameter is the number of e-foldings. We find integer critical exponents at the transition between the two phases.

description: In this paper are reviewed various designs of advanced, multi-aperture optical systems dedicated to high angular resolution imaging or to the detection of exo-planets by nulling interferometry. A simple Fourier optics formalism applicable to both imaging arrays and nulling interferometers is presented, allowing to derive their basic theoretical relationships as convolution or cross correlation products suitable for fast and accurate computation. Several unusual designs, such as a super-resolving telescope utilizing a mosaicking observation procedure or a free-flying, axially recombined interferometer are examined, and their performance in terms of imaging and nulling capacity are assessed. In all considered cases, it is found that the limiting parameter is the diameter of the individual telescopes. The entire study is only valid in the frame of first-order geometrical optics and scalar diffraction theory. Furthermore, it is assumed that all entrance sub-apertures are optically conjugated with their associated exit pupils, a particularity inducing an instrumental behavior comparable with those of diffraction gratings.
Search for the Decays ${B^0_{(s)}\to e^+μ^-}$ and ${B^0_{(s)}\to e^+e^-}$ in CDF Run II

description: We report results from a search for the lepton flavor violating decays $B^0_{(s)}\to e^+μ^-$, and the flavor-changing neutral-current decays $B^0_{(s)} \to e^+ e^-$. The analysis uses data corresponding to ${\rm 2 fb^{-1}}$ of integrated luminosity of $p \bar{p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=1.96 {\rm TeV}$ collected with the upgraded Collider Detector (CDF II) at the Fermilab Tevatron. The observed number of $B^0_{(s)}$ candidates is consistent with background expectations. The resulting Bayesian upper limits on the branching ratios at 90% credibility level are $\mathcal{B}(B^0_s \to e^{+}μ^{-}) < 2.0 \times 10^{-7}$, $\mathcal{B}(B^0 \to e^{+}μ^{-})< 6.4 \times 10^{-8}$, $\mathcal{B}(B^0_s \to e^{+}μ^{-}) < 2.0 \times 10^{-7}$ and $\mathcal{B}(B^0 \to e^{+}μ^{-})< 6.4 \times 10^{-8}$. From the limits on $\mathcal{B} (B^0_{(s)}\to e^+μ^-)$, the following lower bounds on the Pati-Salam leptoquark masses are also derived: ${M_{LQ}}(B^0_s\to e^+ μ^-) > 47.8 {\rm TeV/c^2}$, and ${M_{LQ}}(B^0\to e^+ μ^-) > 59.3 {\rm TeV/c^2}$, at 90% credibility level.

description: We present results for matched distributions of a range of dijet event shapes at hadron colliders, combining next-to-leading logarithmic (NLL) accuracy in the resummation exponent, next-to-next-to leading logarithmic (NNLL) accuracy in its expansion and next-to-leading order (NLO) accuracy in a pure alpha_s expansion. This is the first time that such a matching has been carried out for hadronic final-state observables at hadron colliders. We compare our results to Monte Carlo predictions, with and without matching to multi-parton tree-level fixed-order calculations. These studies suggest that hadron-collider event shapes have significant scope for constraining both perturbative and non-perturbative aspects of hadron-collider QCD. The differences between various calculational methods also highlight the limits of relying on simultaneous variations of renormalisation and factorisation scale in making reliable estimates of uncertainties in QCD predictions. We also discuss the sensitivity of event shapes to the topology of multi-jet events, which are expected to appear in many New Physics scenarios.

description: In this paper we introduce three notions of measure theoretical entropy of a measurable cover U in a measure theoretical dynamical system. Two of them were already introduced in [R] and the new one is defined only in the ergodic case. We then prove that these three notions coincide, thus answering a question posed in [R] and recover a variational inequality (proved in [GW]) and a proof of the classical variational principle based on a comparison between the entropies of covers and partitions.

description: Quantum phase transitions that take place between two distinct topological phases remain an unexplored area for the applicability of the fidelity approach. Here, we apply this method to spin systems in two and three dimensions and show that the fidelity susceptibility can be used to determine the boundary between different topological phases particular to these models, while at the same time offering information about the critical exponent of the correlation length. The success of this approach relies on its independence on local order parameters or breaking symmetry mechanisms, with which non-topological phases are usually characterized. We also consider a topological insulator/superconducting phase transition in three dimensions and point out the relevant features of fidelity susceptibility at the boundary between these phases.

description: The interaction of heavy partons, charm and beauty, with the matter created in heavy ion collisions has been of great interest in recent years. Heavy partons were predicted to interact less strongly with the matter than light partons. In apparent contrast to these predictions, unexpectedly strong suppression of non-photonic electrons from heavy flavor decays has been seen. However, significant experimental uncertainties remain, both in the measurements themselves and in the separation of the contribution from charm and beauty, which have complicated the interpretation of these results. The current experimental situation is critically reviewed and prospects for making these measurements more easily interpretable discussed.

The elliptic genus from split flows and Donaldson-Thomas invariants

description: We analyze a mixed ensemble of low charge D4-D2-D0 brane states on the quintic and show that these can be successfully enumerated using attractor flow tree techniques and Donaldson-Thomas invariants. In this low charge regime one needs to take into account worldsheet instanton corrections to the central charges, which is accomplished by making use of mirror symmetry. All the charges considered can be realized as fluxed D6-D2-D0 and anti-D6-D2-D0 pairs which we enumerate using DT invariants. Our procedure uses the low charge counterpart of the picture developed Denef and Moore. By establishing the existence of flow trees numerically and refining the index factorization scheme, we reproduce and improve some results obtained by Gaiotto, Strominger and Yin. Our results provide appealing evidence that the strong split flow tree conjecture holds and allows to compute exact results for an important sector of the theory. Our refined scheme for computing indices might shed some light on how to improve index computations for systems with larger charges.

description: Phytoremediation of arsenic (As) by Pteris vittata (P. vittata) is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly method for restoring As-contaminated sites. However, the phytoextraction efficiency is low in some cases, such as clay soil, thus biochar was applied to enhance the efficiency of As extraction. The paper investigated the effect of biochar on soil characteristic, As mobility, and As uptake in P. vittata with a 90-day greenhouse experiment. Biochar derived from rice straw was added at rates of 0.5, 1.5, and 4% (w/w). The results showed that, under biochar amendment, soil pH raised from 5.24 to 6.03 and 4.91 to 5.85, soil dissolved organic carbon (DOC) increased 11.1–46.1% and 2.8–11.2%, respectively, in rhizosphere and bulk soils. Biochar also increased soil catalase (CAT) activity significantly, especially for the rhizosphere soil. Besides, biochar increased the labile As in the soils and transfer coefficient from roots to aboveground, thereby enhancing As accumulation by P. vittata tissues. The accumulation of As in fronds of P. vittata was up to 350 mg kg−1 in 1.5% biochar, which was more than twice the control and far beyond other biochar treatments. The results indicate that biochar addition is favorable to improve phytoremediation of P. vittata in As-contaminated soil and 1.5% (w/w) biochar may be a reasonable application ratio, thus providing an effective solution to enhance the efficiency of As phytoextraction. Biochar increased soil catalase activity in the rhizosphere of P. vittata. Biochar increased the labile concentration of arsenic in soil and arsenic accumulation in P. vittata significantly. Combining biochar and P. vittata reduced arsenic in soil. Biochar amendment was favorable for phytoremediation of P. vittata in arsenic-contaminated soil.

description: We explore the possibility that the right-handed top quark is composite, identifying possible signatures of compositeness and how they might manifest themselves at the LHC and Tevatron. We perform a complete analysis of the dimension six modifications of the top coupling to gluons and find that cancellations among operators in the t\bar{t} rate allow for very low compositeness scales, but this can be drastically improved by looking at kinematic distributions. Turning to the LHC, we examine four top production from a dimension six four-top operator and estimate the LHC with 100 {\rm fb}^{-1} collected luminosity to be sensitive to compositeness scales as high as 5 TeV.

description: A first measurement of the top quark pair charge asymmetry ($A_{C}$) is presented in top quark pair (tt̄) production in association with a photon (tt̄γ production), using the data of ATLAS experiment with an integrated luminosity of 139 $fb^{-1}$ collected at proton-proton collisions of √s=13 TeV at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. The measurement is performed using the semileptonic tt̄ decay channel in fiducial phase space at particle level using a profile likelihood unfolding method on the distribution of the difference between the absolute rapidity of the two top quarks. The $A_{C}$ is measured to be -0.003 +- 0.029, in agreement with the Standard Model prediction. The measurement is expected to be more sensitive to potential new physics than the same measurement in tt̄ production. However, currently, it is limited by the available statistics and serves as a stepping stone for future analyses with more data.
description: Es wird die erste Messung der Ladungsasymmetrie ($A_{C}$) des Top-Quark Paares bei der Top-Quark Paarproduktion (tt̄) in Verbindung mit einem Photon (tt̄γ-Produktion) vorgestellt. Dabei werden die Daten des ATLAS Experiments mit einer integrierten Luminosität von 139 $fb^{-1}$ verwendet, die bei Proton-Proton Kollisionen bei √s=13 TeV am Large Hadron Collider am CERN gesammelt wurden. Die Messung erfolgt unter Verwendung des semileptonischen tt̄ Zerfallskanals in einem definierten Phasenraum auf Teilchenebene unter Verwendung der Profil Likelihood Entfaltungsmethode auf der Verteilung der Differenz zwischen den Beträgen der Rapiditäten der beiden Top-Quarks. Der gemessene $A_{C}$-Wert beträgt -0,003 +- 0,029, was mit der Vorhersage des Standardmodells übereinstimmt. Es wird erwartet, dass diese Messung empfindlicher für potenzielle neue Physik ist als die gleiche Messung bei der tt̄ Produktion. Derzeit ist sie jedoch durch die verfügbare Statistik limitiert und dient als ausgangspunkt für künftige Analysen mit mehr Daten.

description: Optimizing selective contact layers in photovoltaics is necessary to yield high performing stable devices. However, this has been difficult for perovskites due to their complex interfacial defects that affect carrier concentrations in the active layer as well as charge transfer and recombination at the interface. Using vacuum thermally-evaporated tin oxide as a case study, we highlight electrochemical tests that are simple yet screen device-relevant contact layer properties, making them useful for process development and quality control. Specifically, we show that cyclic voltammetry and potentiostatic chronoamperometry correlate to key performance parameters in completed devices as well as other material/interfacial properties relevant to devices such as shunt pathways and chemical composition. Having fast, reliable, scalable, and actionable probes of electronic properties is increasingly important as halide perovskite photovoltaics approach their theoretical limits and scale to large-area devices.

description: Abstract:
Object detection is a new artificial intelligence approach to morphological recognition and labeling parasitic pathogens. In comparison to the YOLOv3 and YOLOv3-Tiny models, this study aimed to propose an automated object detection approach, specifically the YOLOv4-Tiny model, for automatic recognition of intestinal parasitic products in stools. To identify protozoan cysts and helminthic eggs in human feces, the three You Only Look Once (YOLO) approaches; YOLOv4-Tiny, YOLOv3, and YOLOv3-Tiny, were trained to recognize 34 intestinal parasitic classes using training of image dataset. Feces were processed using a modified direct smear method adapted from the simple direct smear and the modified Kato Katz methods. The image dataset was collected from intestinal parasitic objects discovered during stool examination and the three YOLO models were trained to recognize the image datasets. The non-maximum suppression technique and the threshold level were used to analyze the test dataset, yielding results of 96.25% precision and 95.08% sensitivity for YOLOv4-Tiny. Additionally, the YOLOv4-Tiny model had the best AUPRC performance of the three YOLO models, with a score of 0.963. This study, to our knowledge, was the first to detect protozoan cysts and helminthic eggs in the 34 classes of intestinal parasitic objects in human stools.
