description: Using patterns in the oscillation frequencies of a white dwarf observed by K2, we have measured the fastest rotation rate (1.13 ± 0.02 hr) of any isolated pulsating white dwarf known to date. Balmer-line fits to follow-up spectroscopy from the SOAR telescope show that the star (SDSSJ0837+1856, EPIC 211914185) is a 13,590 340 K, 0.87±0.03Me white dwarf. This is the highest mass measured for any pulsating white dwarf with known rotation, suggesting a possible link between high mass and fast rotation. If it is the product of single-star evolution, its progenitor was a roughly 4.0Me main-sequence B star; we know very little about the angular momentum evolution of such intermediate-mass stars. We explore the possibility that this rapidly rotating white dwarf is the byproduct of a binary merger, which we conclude is unlikely given the pulsation periods observed.

description: Pursuing conjectures of John Roe, we use the stable Higson corona of foliated cones to construct a new $K$-theory model for the leaf space of a foliation. This new $K$-theory model is -- in contrast to Alain Connes' $K$-theory model -- a ring. We show that Connes' $K$-theory model is a module over this ring and develop an interpretation of the module multiplication in terms of indices of twisted longitudinally elliptic operators.

description: During the second observing run of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) and Virgo Interferometer, a gravitational-wave signal consistent with a binary neutron star coalescence was detected on 2017 August 17th (GW170817), quickly followed by a coincident short gamma-ray burst trigger detected by the Fermi satellite. The Distance Less Than 40 (DLT40) Mpc supernova search performed pointed follow-up observations of a sample of galaxies regularly monitored by the survey that fell within the combined LIGO+Virgo localization region and the larger Fermi gamma-ray burst error box. Here we report the discovery of a new optical transient (DLT17ck, also known as SSS17a; it has also been registered as AT 2017gfo) spatially and temporally coincident with GW170817. The photometric and spectroscopic evolution of DLT17ck is unique, with an absolute peak magnitude of M r = −15.8 ± 0.1 and an r-band decline rate of 1.1 mag day−1. This fast evolution is generically consistent with kilonova models, which have been predicted as the optical counterpart to binary neutron star coalescences. Analysis of archival DLT40 data does not show any sign of transient activity at the location of DLT17ck down to r ~ 19 mag in the time period between 8 months and 21 days prior to GW170817. This discovery represents the beginning of a new era for multi-messenger astronomy, opening a new path by which to study and understand binary neutron star coalescences, short gamma-ray bursts, and their optical counterparts.

description: We report initial observations and analysis on the Type IIb SN 2016gkg in the nearby galaxy NGC 613. SN 2016gkg exhibited a clear double-peaked light curve during its early evolution, as evidenced by our intensive photometric follow-up campaign. SN 2016gkg shows strong similarities with other Type IIb SNe, in particular, with respect to the He i emission features observed in both the optical and near-infrared. SN 2016gkg evolved faster than the prototypical Type IIb SN 1993J, with a decline similar to that of SN 2011dh after the first peak. The analysis of archival Hubble Space Telescope images indicate a pre-explosion source at SN 2016gkg's position, suggesting a progenitor star with a ~mid-F spectral type and initial mass M , depending on the distance modulus adopted for NGC 613. Modeling the temperature evolution within of explosion, we obtain a progenitor radius of R , smaller than that obtained from the analysis of the pre-explosion images (R ).

description: In this paper, the third in a series illustrating the power of generalized linear models (GLMs) for the astronomical community, we elucidate the potential of the class of GLMs which handles count data. The size of a galaxy's globular cluster population $N_{\rm GC}$ is a prolonged puzzle in the astronomical literature. It falls in the category of count data analysis, yet it is usually modelled as if it were a continuous response variable. We have developed a Bayesian negative binomial regression model to study the connection between $N_{\rm GC}$ and the following galaxy properties: central black hole mass, dynamical bulge mass, bulge velocity dispersion, and absolute visual magnitude. The methodology introduced herein naturally accounts for heteroscedasticity, intrinsic scatter, errors in measurements in both axes (either discrete or continuous), and allows modelling the population of globular clusters on their natural scale as a non-negative integer variable. Prediction intervals of 99% around the trend for expected $N_{\rm GC}$comfortably envelope the data, notably including the Milky Way, which has hitherto been considered a problematic outlier. Finally, we demonstrate how random intercept models can incorporate information of each particular galaxy morphological type. Bayesian variable selection methodology allows for automatically identifying galaxy types with different productions of GCs, suggesting that on average S0 galaxies have a GC population 35% smaller than other types with similar brightness.

Fluctuating charge order in the cuprates: spatial anisotropy and feedback from superconductivity

description: We analyze the form of static charge susceptibility $χ(q)$ in underdoped cuprates near axial momenta $(Q,0)$ and $(0,Q)$ at which short-range static charge order has been observed. We show that the momentum dependence of $χ(q)$ is anisotropic, and the correlation length in the longitudinal direction is larger than in the transverse direction. We show that correlation lengths in both directions decrease once the system evolves into a superconductor, as a result of the competition between superconductivity and charge order. These results are in agreement with resonant x-ray scattering data [R. Comin et al., Science 347, 1335 (2015)]. We also argue that density and current components of the charge order parameter are affected differently by superconductivity --- the charge-density component is reduced less than the current component and hence extends deeper into the superconducting state. This gives rise to two distinct charge order transitions at zero temperature.

description: An outcome-dependent sampling (ODS) design is a retrospective sampling scheme where one observes the primary exposure variables with a probability that depends on the observed value of the outcome variable. When the outcome of interest is failure time, the observed data are often censored. By allowing the selection of the supplemental samples depends on whether the event of interest happens or not and oversampling subjects from the most informative regions, ODS design for the time-to-event data can reduce the cost of the study and improve the efficiency. We review recent progresses and advances in research on ODS designs with failure time data. This includes researches on ODS related designs like case–cohort design, generalized case–cohort design, stratified case–cohort design, general failure-time ODS design, length-biased sampling design and interval sampling design.

Detection of N$_2$D$^+$ in a protoplanetary disk

Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)

description: Observations of deuterium fractionation in the solar system, and in interstellar and circumstellar material, are commonly used to constrain the formation environment of volatiles. Toward protoplanetary disks, this approach has been limited by the small number of detected deuterated molecules, i.e. DCO$^+$ and DCN. Based on ALMA Cycle 2 observations toward the disk around the T Tauri star AS 209, we report the first detection of N$_2$D$^+$ (J=3-2) in a protoplanetary disk. These data are used together with previous Submillimeter Array observations of N$_2$H$^+$ (J=3-2) to estimate a disk-averaged D/H ratio of 0.3--0.5, an order of magnitude higher than disk-averaged ratios previously derived for DCN/HCN and DCO$^+$/HCO$^+$ around other young stars. The high fractionation in N$_2$H$^+$ is consistent with model predictions. The presence of abundant N$_2$D$^+$ toward AS 209 also suggests that N$_2$D$^+$ and the N$_2$D$^+$/N$_2$H$^+$ ratio can be developed into effective probes of deuterium chemistry, kinematics, and ionization processes outside the CO snowline of disks.

description: Background: Tuberculosis-associated immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (TB-IRIS) is an important complication in patients with HIV-associated tuberculosis (TB) starting antiretroviral treatment (ART) in sub-Saharan Africa. The PredART-trial recently showed that prophylactic prednisone reduces the incidence of paradoxical TB-IRIS by 30% in a population at high risk. This paper reports the impact of the intervention on health-related quality of life (HRQoL), a secondary endpoint of the trial, measured by an amended version of the PROQOL-HIV instrument-the instrument's validity and reliability is also assessed. Methods: A total of 240 adult participants (antiretroviral treatment (ART)-naïve, TB-HIV co-infected with CD4 count ≤100 cells/μL) were recruited and randomized (1:1) to (1) a prednisone arm or (2) a placebo arm. In this sub-study of the PredART-trial we evaluated (1) the performance of an HIV-specific HR-QoL instrument amended for TB-IRIS, i.e., the PROQOL-HIV/TB in patients with HIV-associated TB starting ART (reliability, internal and external construct validity and invariance across time) and (2) the impact of prednisone on self-reported HR-QoL in this population through mixed models. Results: The PROQOL-HIV/TB scale displayed acceptable internal reliability and good internal and external validity. This instrument, including the factor structure with the eight sub-dimensions, can thus be applied for measuring HR-QoL among HIV-TB patients at high risk for TB-IRIS. Prophylactic prednisone was statistically significantly associated only with the 'Physical Health and Symptoms'-subscale: a four-week course of prednisone resulted in an earlier improvement in the physical dimension of HR-QoL compared to placebo. Conclusion: We demonstrated that the PROQOL-HIV/TB scale adequately measures different aspects of self-reported HR-QoL in HIV-TB patients. Although more research is needed to understand how other domains related to HR-QoL can be improved, targeting patients at high risk for developing TB-IRIS with a four-week course of prednisone has a beneficial effect on the physical aspects of patient-reported quality of life.
Accessible proof of standard monomial basis for coordinatization of Schubert sets of flags
Creators: name: Lax, David C.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: Abstract The main results of this paper are accessible with only basic linear algebra. Given an increasing sequence of dimensions, a flag in a vector space is an increasing sequence of subspaces with those dimensions. The set of all such flags (the flag manifold) can be projectively coordinatized using products of minors of a matrix. These products are indexed by tableaux on a Young diagram. A basis of “standard monomials” for the vector space generated by such projective coordinates over the entire flag manifold has long been known. A Schubert variety is a subset of flags specified by a permutation. Lakshmibai, Musili, and Seshadri gave a standard monomial basis for the smaller vector space generated by the projective coordinates restricted to a Schubert variety. Reiner and Shimozono made this theory more explicit by giving a straightening algorithm for the products of the minors in terms of the right key of a Young tableau. Since then, Willis introduced scanning tableaux as a more direct way to obtain right keys. This paper uses scanning tableaux to give more-direct proofs of the spanning and the linear independence of the standard monomials. In the appendix it is noted that this basis is a weight basis for the dual of a Demazure module for a Borel subgroup of G L n . This paper contains a complete proof that the characters of these modules (the key polynomials) can be expressed as the sums of the weights for the tableaux used to index the standard monomial bases.

description: Members of the phylum Cnidaria include sea anemones, corals and jellyfish, and have successfully colonized both marine and freshwater habitats throughout the world. The understanding of how cnidarians adapt to extreme environments such as the dark, high-pressure deep-sea habitat has been hindered by the lack of genomic information. Here, we report the first chromosome-level deep-sea cnidarian genome, of the anemone Actinernus sp., which was 1.39 Gbp in length and contained 44 970 gene models including 14 806 tRNA genes and 30 164 protein-coding genes. Analyses of homeobox genes revealed the longest chromosome hosts a mega-array of Hox cluster, HoxL, NK cluster and NKL homeobox genes; until now, such an array has only been hypothesized to have existed in ancient ancestral genomes. In addition to this striking arrangement of homeobox genes, analyses of microRNAs revealed cnidarian-specific complements that are distinctive for nested clades of these animals, presumably reflecting the progressive evolution of the gene regulatory networks in which they are embedded. Also, compared to other sea anemones, circadian rhythm genes were lost in Actinernus sp., which likely reflects adaptation to living in the dark. This high-quality genome of a deep-sea cnidarian thus reveals some of the likely molecular adaptations of this ecologically important group of metazoans to the extreme deep-sea environment. It also deepens our understanding of the evolution of genome content and organization of animals in general and cnidarians in particular, specifically from the viewpoint of key developmental control genes like the homeobox-encoding genes where we find an array of genes that until now has only been hypothesized to have existed in the ancient ancestor that pre-dated both the cnidarians and bilaterians.

description: In the federated scheduling approaches in multiprocessor systems, a task either 1) is restricted to execute sequentially on a single processor or 2) has exclusive access to the assigned processors. There have been several positive results to conduct good federated scheduling policies, which have constant speedup factors with respect to any optimal federated scheduling algorithm. This paper answers an open question: "For constrained-deadline task systems with directed acyclic graph (DAG) dependency structures, do federated scheduling policies have a constant speedup factor with respect to any optimal scheduling algorithm?" The answer is "No!" This paper presents an example, which demonstrates that any federated scheduling algorithm has a speedup factor of at least $Ω(\min\{M, N\})$ with respect to any optimal scheduling algorithm, where $N$ is the number of tasks and $M$ is the number of processors.

description: Abstract Background Despite ethnic disparities in lipid profiles, there are few genome-wide association studies investigating genetic variation of lipids in non-European ancestry populations. In this study, we present findings from genetic association analyses for total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), and triglycerides in a large Hispanic/Latino cohort in the U.S., the Hispanic Community Health Study / Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL). Methods We estimated a heritability of approximately 20% for each lipid trait, similar to previous estimates in Europeans. To search for novel lipid loci, we performed conditional association analysis in which the statistical model was adjusted for previously reported SNPs associated with any of the four lipid traits. SNPs that remained genome-wide significant (P < 5 × 10−8) after conditioning on known loci were evaluated for replication. Results We identified eight potentially novel lipid signals with minor allele frequencies <1%, none of which replicated. We tested previously reported SNP-trait associations for generalization to Hispanics/Latinos via a statistical framework. The generalization analysis revealed that approximately 50% of previously established lipid variants generalize to HCHS/SOL based on directional FDR r-value < 0.05. Some failures to generalize were due to lack of power. Conclusions These results demonstrate that many loci associated with lipid levels are shared across populations.

description: Ziel des Beitrages ist es, die geschäftspolitischen Entscheidungen der Reedereien in dem extrem volatilen Umfeld einer Pandemie, geprägt von regulatorischen und operativen Schwierigkeiten, zu analysieren, um anschließend nachzuvollziehen, wie die gesamte Branche der Containerlinienreedereien einen derartigen Aufschwung erreichen konnte. Dabei wird eruiert, ob die Sonderprivilegien der Reedereien, wie der jüngst verlängerten Gruppenfreistellung für Konsortien und die hohen Subventionen, unter den aktuellen Bedingungen noch Rechtfertigung finden können. Hiervon losgelöst wird zudem analysiert, wie die einst florierende Branche der Kreuzfahrtreedereien mit den pandemiebedingten Herausforderungen, wie den ausbleibenden Buchungen, notwendigen Routenänderungen und Rücktrittswellen, umgegangen ist.

description: Viola argentina W. Becker (1922a: 184)
 Type:—[ ARGENTINA.] La Rioja: Chilecito, Sierra Famatina, alrededores de Mina San Juan, 3050–3200 m., 21 February–3 March 1906, F. Kurtz 13582 (holotype, B [destroyed]; lectotype, designated here CORD 00003342 [digital image!], isolectotype, CORD 00003343 [digital image!]).
 Protologue citation:— “ Argentinia: Anden, leg. F. Kurtz, ohne genauere Stand-ortsangabe (Herb. Mus. bot. Berol); wahrscheinlich aus dem Gebiete westlich von Córdoba.”
 Distribution:— Endemic of La Rioja province, Argentina.
 Notes:— Wilhelm Becker explains in the protologue that the collection was made by Fritz Kurtz in the Andes of Argentina, but there is no indication of a precise location. Becker cites the herbarium of Berlin and that the collection was probably done in the territory to the west of Córdoba. However, the species was actually collected in La Rioja province; one specimen was deposited at CORD and another one at B. Several type specimens of Viola were noted by Becker in his publications as having been deposited at the Berlin herbarium (B), but the pre-1943 collection of pressed specimens was lost almost entirely during the destruction of the herbarium in the course of World War II (Hiepko 1987). We therefore selected the specimen with the barcode number CORD 00003342 as the lectotype because it is located in the herbarium where Kurtz deposited much of his original material, is an abundant and complete specimen, agrees with the protologue, includes a clear handwritten field note by Kurtz, and possesses a label with the identification of the specimen made by Becker, indicating that the latter must surely have examined this specimen.

description: We present a rational approximation for rapid and accurate computation of the Voigt function, obtained by residue calculus. The computational test reveals that with only $16$ summation terms this approximation provides average accuracy ${10^{- 14}}$ over a wide domain of practical interest $0 < x < 40,000$ and ${10^{- 4}} < y < {10^2}$ for applications using the HITRAN molecular spectroscopic database. The proposed rational approximation takes less than half the computation time of that required by Weideman's rational approximation. Algorithmic stability is achieved due to absence of the poles at $y \geqslant 0$ and $ - \infty < x < \infty $.

Demystifying the holographic mystique: A critical review
Creators: name: Khveshchenko,
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: Thus far, in spite of many interesting developments, the overall progress towards a systematic study and classification of various ‘strange’ metallic states of matter has been rather limited. To that end, it was argued that a recent proliferation of the ideas of holographic correspondence originating from string theory might offer a possible way out of the stalemate. However, after almost a decade of intensive studies into the proposed extensions of the holographic conjecture to a variety of condensed matter problems, the validity of this intriguing approach remains largely unknown. This discussion aims at ascertaining its true status and elucidating the conditions under which some of its predictions may indeed be right (albeit, possibly, for a wrong reason).

description: Viola atropurpurea Leybold (1858: 158)
 Type (lectotype, designated here):—[ CHILE. XIII Región:] Valle del Maipo arriba, F. Leybold s.n. (SGO 000003269 [digital image!]).
 Protologue citation:— “En los cumbres del Mapocho.—Cerro Colorado.—En el Portillo del viento, entre el Descabezado del Maule i el cerro azul.”
 Distribution:— Native of Argentina and Chile. In Argentina it is registered for San Juan, Mendoza, and Neuquén provinces.
 Notes: —Friedrich Leybold was a German botanist but he settled in Chile from 1855 onwards (Stafleu & Cowan 1979). It is not known where he deposited his herbarium material and types, but type materials collected by Leybold between 1854 and 1890 were deposited at SGO (Stafleu & Cowan 1979; Muñoz-Schick et al. 2012) without evidence that duplicates were sent or not to other herbaria. Given the uncertainty that duplicates may exist in other herbaria, we found the specimen with the barcode number SGO 000003269 in the National Museum of Natural History, Santiago, Chile, and selected it as the lectotype since fully agrees with the protologue of the species. The specimen includes four labels; three seems to be original and the fourth was added later, on April 1972, by Carlos Muñoz Pizarro, who compared specimens deposited at SGO with original publications (Muñoz-Schick et al. 2012). One of the original labels only bears the identification “ Viola atropurpurea Leyb. ” The second of the original labels, in addition to the identification “ Viola atropurpurea Leyb. ”, indicates the location “Valle del Maipo arriba, Leybold” in agreement with the protologue information. The third original label instead bears the identification “ Viola sempervivum Gay ” and indicates the location “Cordill. Santiago ad limit nivis perpet. Febr. 1854”. However, the identification “atropurpurea Leyb. ” it is written above this same label.

description: Abstract Background & Aims HCV Council 2014, like its predecessor HCV Council 2011, assembled leading clinicians and researchers in the field of hepatitis C to critically evaluate current data regarding best practices for managing patients with chronic hepatitis C virus ( HCV ). Methods Clinical practice statements were developed that reflect the areas of potential controversy with high clinical impact. Faculty members were responsible for reviewing the literature to support or reject these statements. After a review and comprehensive discussion of the data, the HCV Council faculty voted on the nature of the evidence and the level of support for each statement. Results The results of the detailed analysis with expert opinion are summarized in this article. Conclusion Numerous questions regarding optimal management of certain populations and clinical scenarios remain unanswered. The discussion in the article provides a summary of evidenced‐based expert opinion that may help guide clinicians as additional information is developed.

Rapid evolution

description: Introduced and invasive species make excellent natural experiments for investigating rapid evolution. Here, we describe the effects of genetic drift and rapid genetic adaptation in pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) that were accidentally introduced to the Great Lakes via a single introduction event 31-generations ago. Using whole-genome resequencing for 134 fish spanning five sample groups across the native and introduced range, we estimate that the source population's effective population size was 146,886 at the time of introduction, whereas the founding population's effective population size was just 72—a 2040-fold decrease. As expected with a severe founder event, we show reductions in genome-wide measures of genetic diversity, specifically a 37.7% reduction in the number of SNPs and an 8.2% reduction in observed heterozygosity. Despite this decline in genetic diversity, we provide evidence for putative selection at 47 loci across multiple chromosomes in the introduced populations, including missense variants in genes associated with circadian rhythm, immunological response, and maturation, which match expected or known phenotypic changes in the Great Lakes. For one of these genes, we use a species-specific agent-based model to rule out genetic drift and conclude our results support a strong response to selection that occurred in a period gene (per2) that plays a predominant role in determining an organism's daily clock, matching large day-length differences experienced by introduced salmon during important phenological periods. Together, these results inform how populations might evolve rapidly to new environments, even with a small pool of standing genetic variation.
