description: Raseduse iseeneslik katkemine on üks sagedasemaid raseduse tüsistusi, kusjuures sageli jäävad habituaalsete abortide põhjused selgusetuks. 50%-l juhtudest on habituaalsete abortide põhjus ema organismi puudulikust immuunvastusest tulenev lootemuna äratõukereaktsioon. Rasedus mõjutab autoimmuunsete haiguste kulgu. Samal ajal osa autoimmuunhaigusi suurendab raseduse katkemise tõenäosust, mille põhjuseks peetakse alanenud immuuntolerantsust. Raseduse iseenesliku katkemise võimalike immunoloogiliste mehhanismide väljaselgitamine ning adekvaatne ravi on olulised nii spontaanabordi profülaktika kui ravi aspektist.

description: We investigate the first emergence of the so-called cold accretion, the accretion flows deeply penetrating a halo, in the early universe with cosmological N-body/SPH simulations. We study the structure of the accretion flow and its evolution within small halos with $\lesssim 10^8~{\rm M}_\odot$ with sufficiently high spatial resolutions down to $\sim 1 \ {\rm pc}$ scale. While previous studies only follow the evolution for a short period after the primordial cloud collapse, we follow the long-term evolution until the cold accretion first appears, employing the sink particle method. We show that the cold accretion emerges when the halo mass exceeds $\sim 2.2\times 10^7 \ {\rm M}_\odot\left\{\left(1+z\right)/15 \right\}^{-3/2}$, the ${\it minimum}$ halo masses above which the accretion flow penetrates halos. We further continue simulations to study whether the cold accretion provides the dense shock waves, which have been proposed to give birth to supermassive stars (SMSs). We find that the accretion flow eventually hits a compact disc near the halo centre, creating dense shocks over a wide area of the disc surface. The resulting post-shock gas becomes dense and hot enough with its mass comparable to the Jeans mass $M_{\rm J}\sim 10^{4-5} \ {\rm M}_\odot$, a sufficient amount to induce the gravitational collapse, leading to the SMS formation.

political discourse

description: In Papua New Guinea, attempts to keep religion and politics separate often meet with incomprehension and resistance on the part of the general populace, for in traditional Melanesian terms, religion has a political function: seen in the power to avert misfortune and ways to ensure prosperity and well being. This paper looks at how religious narrative plays a part in contemporary political discourse in Papua New Guinea. It will look first at the links between socio-political and religious institutions, and then will consider some of the ways religious values and symbols are used and exploited to legitimise political aspirations. In contemporary Papua New Guinea some leaders attempt to use Christian rhetoric and symbols to appeal to people’s religious sentiments and to promote nationalism, however, sometimes symbols apparently achieve the agent’s goal and at other times the symbol backfires on the user. How can we account for the selection, uses and effects of religious symbols in political discourse? The churches and Christian groups seeking not so much to gain political power as to control it, appear to be divided as to whether it is better to respond with a progressive social agenda or to control political power by means of spiritual power. Specific cases from contemporary national and local politics will be examined in detail, including events such as “operation brukim skru (operation bend the knee),” Archbishop Brian Barnes criticism of the government, and the debate over the cross on the top of the Parliament House. The goal of the paper is to provide an anthropological perspective on religion as a category ofconcern in the evolving political scene in contemporary Papua New Guinea.

description: We study the linear stability of black holes in Maxwell-Horndeski theories where a $U(1)$ gauge-invariant vector field is coupled to a scalar field with the Lagrangian of full Horndeski theories. The perturbations on a static and spherically symmetric background can be decomposed into odd- and even-parity modes under the expansion of spherical harmonics with multipoles $l$. For $l \geq 2$, the odd-parity sector contains two propagating degrees of freedom associated with the gravitational and vector field perturbations. In the even-parity sector, there are three dynamical perturbations arising from the scalar field besides the gravitational and vector field perturbations. For these five propagating degrees of freedom, we derive conditions for the absence of ghost/Laplacian stabilities along the radial and angular directions. We also discuss the stability of black holes for $l=0$ and $l=1$, in which case no additional conditions are imposed to those obtained for $l \geq 2$. We apply our general results to Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton-Gauss-Bonnet theory and Einstein-Born-Infeld-dilaton gravity and show that hairy black hole solutions present in these theories can be consistent with all the linear stability conditions. In regularized four-dimensional Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity with a Maxwell field, however, exact charged black hole solutions known in the literature are prone to instabilities of even-parity perturbations besides a strong coupling problem with a vanishing kinetic term of the radion mode.

description: Brown dwarfs with well-measured masses, ages and luminosities provide direct benchmark tests of substellar formation and evolutionary models. We report the first results from a direct imaging survey aiming to find and characterize substellar companions to nearby accelerating stars with the assistance of the Hipparcos-Gaia Catalog of Accelerations (HGCA). In this paper, we present a joint high-contrast imaging and astrometric discovery of a substellar companion to HD 176535 A, a K3.5V main-sequence star aged approximately $3.59_{-1.15}^{+0.87}$ Gyrs at a distance of $36.99 \pm 0.03$ pc. In advance of our high-contrast imaging observations, we combined precision HARPS RVs and HGCA astrometry to predict the potential companion's location and mass. We thereafter acquired two nights of KeckAO/NIRC2 direct imaging observations in the $L'$ band, which revealed a companion with a contrast of $ΔL'_p = 9.20\pm0.06$ mag at a projected separation of $\approx$0.$\!\!''35$ ($\approx$13 AU) from the host star. We revise our orbital fit by incorporating our dual-epoch relative astrometry using the open-source MCMC orbit fitting code $\tt orvara$. HD 176535 B is a new benchmark dwarf useful for constraining the evolutionary and atmospheric models of high-mass brown dwarfs. We found a luminosity of $\rm log(L_{bol}/L_{\odot}) = -5.26\pm0.07$ and a model-dependent effective temperature of $980 \pm 35$ K for HD 176535 B. Our dynamical mass suggests that some substellar evolutionary models may be underestimating luminosity for high-mass T dwarfs. Given its angular separation and luminosity, HD 176535 B would make a promising candidate for Aperture Masking Interferometry with JWST and GRAVITY/KPIC, and further spectroscopic characterization with instruments like the CHARIS/SCExAO/Subaru integral field spectrograph.

description: Van der Waals (vdW) assembly allows controlling symmetry of two-dimensional (2D) materials that determines their physical properties. Especially interesting is the recently demonstrated breaking inversion symmetry by polar layer stacking to realize novel electronic, magnetic, and transport properties of 2D vdW materials switchable by induced electric polarization. Here, based on symmetry analyses and density-functional calculations, we explore the emergence of the anomalous Hall effect (AHE) in antiferromagnetic MnBi2Te4 films assembled by polar layer stacking. We demonstrate that breaking PT symmetry in an MnBi2Te4 bilayer makes this 2D material magnetoelectric and produces a spontaneous AHE switchable by electric polarization. We find that reversable polarization at one of the interfaces in a three-layer MnBi2Te4 film drives a metal-insulator transition, as well as switching between an AHE and quantum AHE (QAHE). Finally, we predict that engineering an interlayer polarization in a three-layer MnBi2Te4 film allows converting MnBi2Te4 from a trivial insulator to a Chern insulator. Overall, our work emphasizes the emergence of quantum-transport phenomena in 2D vdW antiferromagnets by polar layer stacking, which do not exist in this material in the bulk or bulk-like thin-film forms.

description: Invasive species cause severe ecological and economic impacts in their introduced ranges. Vespula wasps, native to Eurasia, are a major threat to New Zealand native ecosystems. Understanding factors that influence the success of wasp invasion is pivotal for the development of control strategies. Here, we compare genetic diversity and structure of Vespula germanica and Vespula vulgaris between regions of their native and introduced ranges using microsatellite markers. Our study found lower diversity and lack of genetic structure for both invasive Vespula species within New Zealand. The significant reduction in allelic richness, gene diversity and effective population size illustrate a major bottleneck in New Zealand V. germanica and V. vulgaris populations. Strong signatures of population structure were found for both Vespula species with two clusters being identified as optimal k, approximately corresponding to the native and the invaded ranges. Our results highlight the fact that the lack of genetic diversity does not impede successful invasions in V. germanica and V. vulgaris and encourage further research into mechanisms that promote the success of invasive social insects. Overall, this study provides insights into the genetics of invasive Vespula wasps that can be useful for the development of efficient management strategies.

Static Isotropic Spacetimes with Radially Imperfect Fluids

Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: When solving the equations of General Relativity in a symmetric sector, it is natural to consider the same symmetry for the geometry and stress-energy. This implies that for static and isotropic spacetimes, the most general natural stress-energy tensor is a sum of a perfect fluid and a radial imperfect fluid component. In the special situations where the perfect fluid component vanishes or is a spacetime constant, the solutions to Einstein's equations can be thought of as modified Schwarzschild and Schwarzschild-de Sitter spaces. Exact solutions of this type are derived and it is shown that whereas deviations from the unmodified solutions can be made small, among the manifestations of the imperfect fluid component is a shift in angular momentum scaling for orbiting test-bodies at large radius. Based on this effect, the question of whether the imperfect fluid component can feasibly describe dark matter phenomenology is addressed.

Year: 1967

description: This study was undertaken to determine which characteristics, if any , distinguish exit from active milk producers; why producers exit from the industry; what happens to those resources formerly used in the dairy industry; the predictability of a producer either increasing or decreasing in size.
This study encompassed the milk producers in the Great Basin Federal Milk Market Area which is the central and northern part of Utah.
It was not possible to determine any characteristics which would distinguish the exit from the active producers. All of the sample producers sold most of their cows. A large percentage kept their land and continued to operate it. Much of the equipment was kept by the producer.
The Markov Chain analysis indicated that dairy farm numbers will decrease: however, the size of the active farms will increase.

description: The failure of heterogeneous materials with microstructures is a complex process of damage nucleation, growth and localisation. This process spans multiple length scales and is challenging to simulate numerically due to its high computational cost. One option is to use domain decomposed multi-scale methods with dynamical refinement. If needed, these methods refine coarse regions into a fine-scale representation to explicitly model the damage in the microstructure. However, damage evolution is commonly restricted to fine-scale regions only. Thus, they are unable to capture the full complexity and breath of the degradation process in the material. In this contribution, a generic procedure that allows to account for damage in all representations is proposed. The approach combines a specially designed orthotropic damage law, with a scheme to generate pre-damaged fine-scale microstructures. Results indicate that the damage approximation for the coarse representation works well. Furthermore, the generated fine-scale damage patterns are overall consistent with explicitly simulated damage patterns. Minor discrepancies occur in the generation but subsequently vanish when explicit damage evolution continuous; for instance under increased load. The presented approach provides a methodological basis for adaptive multi-scale simulation schemes with consistent damage evolution.

description: The effects of using the United States input-output table to explain Israel's economic structure was studied, by comparing price data generated on the basis of the U. S. tables and prices observed in the two countries. A substantial difference between prices generated and observed led to the conclusion that the technological structure of the United States cannot be used to approximate Israel's structure.
Various adjustments were then applied to the United States coefficient matrix to determine if it could be transformed into a new technological structure which would more closely approximate Israel's economy.
Significant improvements were noted by three of the adjustments while one showed no noticeable difference from the results obtained using the unadjusted U.S. matrix.
One of the adjustments was found to transform the U.S. coefficient matrix into a new matrix which when multiplied by the observed final demand vector of Israel would predict accurately, output levels and effects of changes in the Israel economy.

description: We predict a quantum spin Hall effect (QSHE) in the ferromagnetic graphene under a magnetic field. Unlike the previous QSHE, this QSHE appears in the absence of any spin-orbit interaction, thus, arrived from a different physical origin. The previous QSHE is protected by the time-reversal (T) invariance. This new QSHE is protected by the CT invariance, where C is the charge conjugation operation. Due to this QSHE, the longitudinal resistance exhibits quantum plateaus. The plateau values are at 1/2, 1/6, 3/28, ..., (in the unit of $h/e^2$), depending on the filling factors of the spin-up and spin-down carriers. The spin Hall resistance is also investigated and is found to be robust against the disorder.

description: We report the observations of PG 1553+113 during the first ~200 days of Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope science operations, from 4 August 2008 to 22 February 2009 (MJD 54682.7-54884.2). This is the first detailed study of PG 1553+113 in the GeV gamma-ray regime and it allows us to fill a gap of three decades in energy in its spectral energy distribution. We find PG 1553+113 to be a steady source with a hard spectrum that is best fit by a simple power-law in the Fermi energy band. We combine the Fermi data with archival radio, optical, X-ray and very high energy (VHE) gamma-ray data to model its broadband spectral energy distribution and find that a simple, one-zone synchrotron self-Compton model provides a reasonable fit. PG 1553+113 has the softest VHE spectrum of all sources detected in that regime and, out of those with significant detections across the Fermi energy bandpass so far, the hardest spectrum in that energy regime. Thus, it has the largest spectral break of any gamma-ray source studied to date, which could be due to the absorption of the intrinsic gamma-ray spectrum by the extragalactic background light (EBL). Assuming this to be the case, we selected a model with a low level of EBL and used it to absorb the power-law spectrum from PG 1553+113 measured with Fermi (200 MeV - 157 GeV) to find the redshift which gave the best fit to the measured VHE data (90 GeV - 1.1 TeV) for this parameterisation of the EBL. We show that this redshift can be considered an upper limit on the distance to PG 1553+113.

description: We describe a number of improvements to the GENEVA method for matching NNLO calculations to parton shower programs. In particular, we detail changes to the resummed calculation used in the matching procedure, including disentangling the cross section dependence on factorisation and beam scales, and an improved treatment of timelike logarithms. We also discuss modifications in the implementation of the splitting functions which serve to make the resummed calculation differential in the higher multiplicity phase space. These changes improve the stability of the numerical cancellation of the nonsingular term at small values of the resolution parameter. As a case study, we consider the gluon-initiated Higgs boson production process $gg\to H$. We validate the NNLO accuracy of our predictions against independent calculations, and compare our showered and hadronised results with recent data taken at the ATLAS and CMS experiments in the diphoton decay channel, finding good agreement.

Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1967

description: Student understanding and use of tobacco was studied under t he following specific areas: specific knowledge as it relates to smoking and health; student opinions and attitudes toward smoking; smoking experience; and the influence of certain factors on smoking status.
About 700 students were sampled with the use of a questionnaire. The number of students was divided about equally among four schools and between boys and girls at each grade level, grades seven through twelve. It was found t hat boys were better informed than girls about tobacco as it relates to health. Also, the senior high school students were better informed than the junior high school students.
The majority (91 percent) of all students surveyed were of the opinion that the pleasure derived from smoking was not worth the price a person has to pay in terms of health and expense. Few students like having their parents smoke, and most are violently opposed to having them smoke.
There were nine percent of the students who smoked regularly (at least once a week) with another eight percent smoking once in a while. This ranged from three percent in the seventh grade to fifteen percent in the twelfth grade. The factors having the most influence upon student smoking status were religion, friends, and health implications.

description: In many organic molecules the strong coupling of excess charges to vibrational modes leads to the formation of polarons, i.e., a localized state of a charge carrier and a molecular deformation. Incoherent hopping of polarons along the molecule is the dominant mechanism of transport at room temperature. We study the far-from-equilibrium situation where, due to the applied bias, the induced number of charge carriers on the molecule is high enough such that charge correlations become relevant. We develop a diagrammatic theory that exactly accounts for all many-particle correlations functions for incoherent transport through a finite system. We compute the transport properties of short sequences of DNA by expanding the diagrammatic theory up to second order in the hopping parameters. The correlations qualitatively modify the I-V characteristics as compared to those approaches where correlations are dealt with in a mean-field type approximation only.

description: The ages of the oldest stars shed light on the birth, chemical enrichment, and chemical evolution of the Universe. Nucleocosmochronometry provides an avenue to determining the ages of these stars independent from stellar evolution models. The uranium abundance, which can be determined for metal-poor $r$-process enhanced (RPE) stars, has been known to constitute one of the most robust chronometers known. So far, U abundance determination has used a $single$ U II line at $\lambda3859$ Å. Consequently, U abundance has been reliably determined for only five RPE stars. Here, we present the first homogeneous U abundance analysis of four RPE stars using two novel U II lines at $\lambda4050$ Å and $\lambda4090$ Å, in addition to the canonical $\lambda3859$ Å line. We find that the U II lines at $\lambda4050$ Å and $\lambda4090$ Å are reliable and render U abundances in agreement with the $\lambda3859$ U abundance, for all the stars. We, thus, determine revised U abundances for RPE stars, 2MASS J09544277+5246414, RAVE J203843.2-002333, HE 1523-0901, and CS 31082-001, using multiple U II lines. We also provide nucleocosmochronometric ages of these stars based on the newly derived U, Th, and Eu abundances. The results of this study open up a new avenue to reliably and homogeneously determine U abundance for a significantly larger number of RPE stars. This will, in turn, enable robust constraints on the nucleocosmochronometric ages of RPE stars, which can be applied to understand the chemical enrichment and evolution in the early Universe, especially of $r$-process elements.

title: Automated Circulation Control for the Utah State University Library
Creators: name: Montgomery, Richard M.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1967

description: This package of programs is a result of the U.S.U. Library incorporating an automated control on the circulation of their books, which would provide the library with a daily record of all books in circulation, or not available for circu­lation, and send notices when books were overdue.
Because of the long-range program of the Data Processing Department of the University, it was decided to develop the software for this project rather than purchase the hardware.
The then existing hardware included the IBM 1401 computer (4K), 1402 card reader, 1403 on line printer, and a card sorter. The only additional hardware required by the Data Processing Department was the "read punch feed" feature on the card reader.
This report includes information for operating the programs involved in pro­cessing the data. Any information required in setting up the data collection system may be obtained from the U.S. U. Library.
These programs were developed to be compatible with the previously mentioned hardware and were used until the data processing facilities of the University were updated. All programs were written in the SSPS II symbolic language.

description: Computational studies of liquid water and its phase transition into vapor have traditionally been performed using classical water models. Here we utilize the Deep Potential methodology -- a machine learning approach -- to study this ubiquitous phase transition, starting from the phase diagram in the liquid-vapor coexistence regime. The machine learning model is trained on ab initio energies and forces based on the SCAN density functional which has been previously shown to reproduce solid phases and other properties of water. Here, we compute the surface tension, saturation pressure and enthalpy of vaporization for a range of temperatures spanning from 300 to 600 K, and evaluate the Deep Potential model performance against experimental results and the semi-empirical TIP4P/2005 classical model. Moreover, by employing the seeding technique, we evaluate the free energy barrier and nucleation rate at negative pressures for the isotherm of 296.4 K. We find that the nucleation rates obtained from the Deep Potential model deviate from those computed for the TIP4P/2005 water model, due to an underestimation in the surface tension from the Deep Potential model. From analysis of the seeding simulations, we also evaluate the Tolman length for the Deep Potential water model, which is (0.091 $\pm$ 0.008) nm at 296.4 K. Lastly, we identify that water molecules display a preferential orientation in the liquid-vapor interface, in which H atoms tend to point towards the vapor phase to maximize the enthalpic gain of interfacial molecules. We find that this behaviour is more pronounced for planar interfaces than for the curved interfaces in bubbles. This work represents the first application of Deep Potential models to the study of liquid-vapor coexistence and water cavitation.

description: Stabilization, disturbance rejection, and control of optical beams and optical spots are ubiquitous problems that are crucial for the development of optical systems for ground and space telescopes, free-space optical communication terminals, precise beam steering systems, and other types of optical systems. High-performance disturbance rejection and control of optical spots require the development of disturbance estimation and data-driven Kalman filter methods. Motivated by this, we propose a unified and experimentally verified data-driven framework for optical-spot disturbance modeling and tuning of covariance matrices of Kalman filters. Our approach is based on covariance estimation, nonlinear optimization, and subspace identification methods. Also, we use spectral factorization methods to emulate optical-spot disturbances with a desired power spectral density in an optical laboratory environment. We test the effectiveness of the proposed approaches on an experimental setup consisting of a piezo tip-tilt mirror, piezo linear actuator, and a CMOS camera.

description: In 1997, it is estimated that 1.3 percent of drivers with a commercial driver’s license (CDL drivers) used controlled substances, and 0.2 percent used alcohol. In 1998, it is estimated that 1.5 percent of CDL drivers used controlled substances and 0.4 percent used alcohol. These year-to-year differences in the estimates are not statistically significant. On the basis of these findings, FMCSA’s required testing rate for CDL drivers remained at 50 percent for controlled substances and 10 percent for alcohol for calendar years 1998 and 1999.

description: We study positive operator-valued measures generated by orbits of projective unitary representations of locally compact Abelian groups. It is shown that integration over such a measure defines a family of contractions being multiples of unitary operators from the representation. Using this fact it is proved that the measures are informationally complete. The obtained results are illustrated for the measure with density taking values in the set of coherent states.

description: 1. Variation in microbial communities between populations is increasingly hypothesised to affect animal fitness and performance, including for invasive species. Pathogenic species may be lost during the introduction process, enhancing invader fitness and abundance. 2. This study assessed fitness, immune gene expression, and microbial network complexity of invasive common wasps, Vespula vulgaris. Microbial networks were assayed using 16S and 18S sequencing and gene expression arrays in the native (Belgium) and introduced range (New Zealand). The immune gene expression of the wasp Down syndrome cell adhesion molecule (Dscam) gene homologue was examined. Dscam expression can be induced by viruses, Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, and parasites. 3. Individual nest fitness was higher in the native range of Belgium than in the introduced New Zealand range. Microbial communities of wasps in the introduced range were more diverse with more complex networks, although some microorganisms were range-specific. Microbial networks in the introduced range showed higher clustering coefficients, number of connected paths, network centralisation, number of neighbours and network density. 4. Larvae, workers, virgin and foundress queens had higher expression of Dscam in the New Zealand samples. These immune gene expression patterns were associated with higher pathogen pressure and lower relative fitness. 5. Epidemiological theory predicts that a high density of pathogen and microbial hosts should result in a high rate of disease infection, prevalence, and highly connected microbial networks. The results of this study support these predictions. Wasps displayed lower relative fitness and more highly connected microbial networks in New Zealand than in Belgium.

description: Multiple-$Q$ states manifest themselves in a variety of noncollinear and noncoplanar magnetic structures depending on the magnetic interactions and lattice structures. In particular, cubic-lattice systems can host a plethora of multiple-$Q$ states, such as magnetic skyrmion and hedgehog lattices. We here classify momentum-dependent anisotropic exchange interactions in the cubic-lattice systems based on the magnetic representation analysis. We construct an effective spin model for centrosymmetric cubic space groups, $Pm\bar{3}m$ and $Pm\bar{3}$, and noncentrosymmetric ones, $P\bar{4}3m$, $P432$, and $P23$: The former include the symmetric anisotropic exchange interaction, while the latter additionally include the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. We demonstrate that the anisotropic exchange interaction becomes the origin of the multiple-$Q$ states by applying the anisotropic spin model to the case under $Pm\bar{3}$. We show several multiple-$Q$ instabilities in the ground state by performing simulated annealing. Our results will be a reference for not only exploring unknown multiple-$Q$ states but also understanding the origin of the multiple-$Q$ states observed in both noncentrosymmetric and centrosymmetric magnets like EuPtSi and SrFeO$_3$.

description: We numerically study two-dimensional quantum turbulence with a Gross--Pitaevskii model. With the energy initially accumulated at large scale, quantum turbulence with many quantized vortex points is generated. Due to the lack of enstrophy conservation in this model, direct energy cascade with a Kolmogorov--Obukhov energy spectrum $E(k) \propto k^{-5/3}$ is observed, which is quite different from two-dimensional incompressible classical turbulence in the decaying case. A positive value for the energy flux guarantees a \emph{direct} energy cascade in the inertial range (from large to small scales). After almost all the energy at the large scale cascades to the small scale, the compressible kinetic energy realizes the thermodynamic equilibrium state without quantized vortices.

description: A proof of principle of a novel concept for event recording in dual-phase liquid xenon detectors -- the Floating Hole Multiplier (FHM) -- is presented. It is shown that a standard Thick Gaseous Electron Multiplier (THGEM), freely floating on the liquid xenon surface permits extraction of electrons from the liquid to the gas. Secondary scintillation induced by the extracted electrons in the THGEM holes as well as in the uniform field above it was observed. The first results with the FHM indicate that the concept of floating electrodes may offer new prospects for large-scale dual-phase detectors, for dark matter searches in particular.
