description: We present MESA-Web, a cloud resource with an online interface to the Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA) software instrument. MESA-Web allows learners to evolve stellar models without the need to download and install MESA. Since being released in 2015, MESA-Web has delivered over 17,000 calculations to over 2,200 unique learners and currently performs about 11 jobs per day. MESA-Web can be used as an educational tool for stars in the classroom or for scientific investigations. We report on new capabilities of MESA-Web introduced since its 2015 release including learner-supplied nuclear reaction rates, custom stopping conditions, and an expanded selection of input parameters. To foster collaboration we have created a Zenodo MESA-Web community hub where instructors can openly share examples of using MESA-Web in the classroom. We discuss two examples in the current community hub. The first example is a lesson module on Red Giant Branch stars that includes a suite of exercises designed to fit a range of learners and a Jupyter workbook for additional analysis. The second example is lesson materials for an upper-level Astronomy majors course in Stars and Radiation that includes an assignment verifying some of the expected trends that are presented in a popular stellar physics textbook.

description: Recent models for the inner structure of active galactic nuclei (AGN) aim at connecting the outer region of the accretion disk with the broad-line region and dusty torus through a radiatively accelerated, dusty outflow. Such an outflow not only requires the outer disk to be dusty and so predicts disk sizes beyond the self-gravity limit but requires the presence of nuclear dust with favourable properties. Here we investigate a large sample of type 1 AGN with near-infrared (near-IR) cross-dispersed spectroscopy with the aim to constrain the astrochemistry, location and geometry of the nuclear hot dust region. Assuming thermal equilibrium for optically thin dust, we derive the luminosity-based dust radius for different grain properties using our measurement of the temperature. We combine our results with independent dust radius measurements from reverberation mapping and interferometry and show that large dust grains that can provide the necessary opacity for the outflow are ubiquitous in AGN. Using our estimates of the dust covering factor, we investigate the dust geometry using the effects of the accretion disk anisotropy. A flared disk-like structure for the hot dust is favoured. Finally, we discuss the implication of our results for the dust radius-luminosity plane.

description: In this paper, we consider a pseudo-random generator based on the difficulty of the syndrome decoding problem for rank metric codes. We also study the resistance of this problem against a quantum computer. Our results show that with rank metric it is possible to obtain fast PRNG with small public data, without considering additional structure for public matrices like quasi-cyclicity for Hamming distance.
A reddening-free method to estimate the $^{56}$Ni mass of Type Ia supernovae

description: The increase in the number of Type Ia supernovae (SNe\,Ia) has demonstrated that the population shows larger diversity than has been assumed in the past. The reasons (e.g. parent population, explosion mechanism) for this diversity remain largely unknown. We have investigated a sample of SNe\,Ia near-infrared light curves and have correlated the phase of the second maximum with the bolometric peak luminosity. The peak bolometric luminosity is related to the time of the second maximum (relative to the {\it B} light curve maximum) as follows : $L_{max}(10^{43} erg s^{-1}) = (0.039 \pm 0.004) \times t_2(J)(days) + (0.013 \pm 0.106)$. $^{56}$Ni masses can be derived from the peak luminosity based on Arnett's rule, which states that the luminosity at maximum is equal to instantaneous energy generated by the nickel decay. We check this assumption against recent radiative-transfer calculations of Chandrasekhar-mass delayed detonation models and find this assumption is valid to within 10\% in recent radiative-transfer calculations of Chandrasekhar-mass delayed detonation models. The $L_{max}$ vs. $t_2$ relation is applied to a sample of 40 additional SNe\,Ia with significant reddening ($E(B-V) >$ 0.1 mag) and a reddening-free bolometric luminosity function of SNe~Ia is established. The method is tested with the $^{56}$Ni mass measurement from the direct observation of $γ-$rays in the heavily absorbed SN 2014J and found to be fully consistent. Super-Chandrasekhar-mass explosions, in particular SN\,2007if, do not follow the relations between peak luminosity and second IR maximum. This may point to an additional energy source contributing at maximum light. The luminosity function of SNe\,Ia is constructed and is shown to be asymmetric with a tail of low-luminosity objects and a rather sharp high-luminosity cutoff, although it might be influenced by selection effects.

description: Thines, M. 2014: Validation of Basidiophora simplex. Schlechtendalia 28: 39–40.Basidiophora has been considered monotypic until recently, when it was revealed that several distinct lineages exist in this genus. As a consequence, Peronospora simplex, previously regarded as a synonym of Basidiophora entospora, has been proposed as a new combination in Basidiophora. However, the authors did not provide a species identifier of a recognised repository for the new combination, Basidiophora entospora. Thus, this combination is validated in the current manuscript by providing the corresponding MycoBank accession number.

description: We evaluate the proposed resonant terahertz (THz) detectors on the base of field-effect transistors (FETs) with split gates, electrically induced lateral p-n junctions, uniform graphene layer (GL) or perforated (in the p-n junction depletion region) graphene layer (PGL) channel. The perforated depletion region forms an array of the nanoconstions or nanoribbons creating the barriers for the holes and electrons. The operation of the GL-FET- and PGL-FET detectors is associated with the rectification of the ac current across the lateral p-n junction enhanced by the excitation of bound plasmonic oscillations in in the p- and n-sections of the channel. Using the developed device model, we find the GL-FET and PGL-FET-detectors characteristics. These detectors can exhibit very high voltage responsivity at the THz radiation frequencies close to the frequencies of the plasmonic resonances. These frequencies can be effectively voltage tuned. We show that in PL-FET-detectors the dominant mechanism of the current rectification is due to the tunneling nonlinearity, whereas in PGL-FET-detector the current rectification is primarily associated with the thermionic processes. Due to much lower p-n junction conductance in the PGL-FET-detectors, their resonant response can be substantially more pronounced than in the GL-FET-detectors corresponding to fairly high detector responsivity.

description: Assessing the significance of alignment scores of optimally aligned DNA or amino acid sequences can be achieved via the knowledge of the score distribution of random sequences. But this requires obtaining the distribution in the biologically relevant high-scoring region, where the probabilities are exponentially small. For gapless local alignments of infinitely long sequences this distribution is known analytically to follow a Gumbel distribution. Distributions for gapped local alignments and global alignments of finite lengths can only be obtained numerically. To obtain result for the small-probability region, specific statistical mechanics-based rare-event algorithms can be applied. In previous studies, this was achieved for pairwise alignments. They showed that, contrary to results from previous simple sampling studies, strong deviations from the Gumbel distribution occur in case of finite sequence lengths. Here we extend the studies to the for practical applications in Molecular Biology much more relevant case of multiple sequence alignments with gaps. We study the distributions of scores over a large range of the support, reaching probabilities as small as 10^-160, for global and local (sum-of-pair scores) multiple alignments. We find that even after suitable rescaling, eliminating the sequence-length dependence, the distributions for multiple alignment differ from the pairwise alignment case. Furthermore, we also show that the previously discussed Gaussian correction to the Gumbel distribution needs to be refined, also for the case of pairwise alignments.

Exploring difference-making attributions in threatening social comparisons
Creators: name: Albright-Pierce, Maggie R.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: Throughout their daily lives people compare themselves to others, which can have downstream consequences for goal pursuit. Previous research suggests comparisons with similar others provide the most diagnostic feedback. As such, one protective strategy when people are faced with unfavorable social comparisons may be to psychologically distance themselves, or make themselves dissimilar, from the comparison target. In the present work, I explored how engaging in difference-making (i.e., making attributions about differences between the self and a comparison target) creates perceptions of dissimilarity between the self and the target. Results of two studies indicate that difference-making after social comparisons leads to perceptions of general dissimilarity as well as dissimilarity in various life domains. In Study 1a, participants who generated differences after making an upward or downward comparison felt more dissimilar to their comparison targets than those who made comparisons to targets performing similarly on a shared goal. In Study 1b, those who were able to freely generate differences between themselves and an upward comparison target felt more dissimilar in general and across all given life domains relative to participants that were restricted in difference-making. However, this strategy does not appear to have downstream consequences for goal pursuit, as proposed, in that difference-making did not decrease negative affect nor subsequently influence goal-related effort. Overall, this research suggests that generating differences between the self and others may be a protective strategy that makes a comparison target less relevant in goal-related social comparisons, but more research is needed to understand how this process influences goal pursuit.

description: Intensity mapping observations measure galaxy clustering fluctuations from spectral-spatial maps, requiring stable noise properties on large angular scales. We have developed specialized readouts and analysis methods for achieving large-scale noise stability with Teledyne 2048$\times$2048 H2RG infrared detector arrays. We designed and fabricated a room-temperature low-noise ASIC Video8 amplifier to sample each of the 32 detector outputs continuously in sample-up-the-ramp mode with interleaved measurements of a stable reference voltage that remove current offsets and $1/f$ noise from the amplifier. The amplifier addresses rows in an order different from their physical arrangement on the array, modulating temporal $1/f$ noise in the H2RG to high spatial frequencies. Finally, we remove constant signal offsets in each of the 32 channels using reference pixels. These methods will be employed in the upcoming SPHEREx orbital mission that will carry out intensity mapping observations in near-infrared spectral maps in deep fields located near the ecliptic poles. We also developed a noise model for the H2RG and Video8 to optimize the choice of parameters. Our analysis indicates that these methods hold residual $1/f$ noise near the level of SPHEREx photon noise on angular scales smaller than $\sim30$ arcminutes.

description: (Abridged) We present the results of our ongoing radial-velocity (RV) survey of the old (7 Gyr) open cluster NGC 188. Our WIYN 3.5m data set spans a time baseline of 11 years, a magnitude range of 12<=V<=16.5 (1.18-0.94 MSun), and a 1 deg. diameter region on the sky. With the addition of a Dominion Astrophysical Observatory (DAO) data set we extend our bright limit to V = 10.8 and, for some stars, extend our time baseline to 35 years. Our magnitude limits include solar-mass main-sequence stars, subgiants, giants, and blue stragglers (BSs), and our spatial coverage extends radially to 17 pc (~13 core radii). For the WIYN data we find a measurement precision of 0.4 km/s for narrow-lined stars. We have measured RVs for 1046 stars in the direction of NGC 188, finding 473 to be likely cluster members. We detect 124 velocity-variable cluster members, all of which are likely to be dynamically hard-binary stars. Using our single member stars, we find an average cluster RV of -42.36 +/- 0.04 km/s. We use our precise RV and proper-motion membership data to greatly reduce field-star contamination in our cleaned color-magnitude diagram, from which we identify six stars of note that lie far from a standard single-star isochrone. We find the binaries to be centrally concentrated, providing evidence for the presence of mass segregation in NGC 188. We observe the BSs to populate a bimodal spatial distribution that is not centrally concentrated, suggesting that we may be observing two populations of BSs in NGC 188, including a centrally concentrated distribution as well as a halo population. Finally, we find NGC 188 to have a global RV dispersion of 0.64 +/- 0.04 km/s. When corrected for unresolved binaries, the NGC 188 RV dispersion has a nearly isothermal radial distribution. We use this mean-corrected velocity dispersion to derive a virial mass of 2300 +/- 460 MSun.

'Herr Hitler’s Nazis Hear an Echo of World Opinion’: British and American Press Responses to Nazi Anti-Semitism, September 1930–April 1933 !

description: Based on contemporary press articles and applying a comparative methodology, this study examines the responses of important British and American quality papers to the unfolding of Nazi anti-Semitism from September 1930 until April 1933. Besides reconstructing and comparing the press coverage, the study seeks to explain the patterns beneath the journalistic perceptions and interpretations of Nazi anti-Semitism in the liberal democracies. During the final years of the Weimar Republic the papers reported fully and critically on Nazi antisemitism, yet they underestimated its radical nature. The extent of the assault on the Jews following Hitler’s seizure of power therefore surprised British and American observers. Between 30 January 1933 and the anti-Jewish boycott of 1 April 1933 the journalists struggled to grasp the nature of Nazi anti-Semitism and the role of Hitler therein. Ultimately, their reading of events in Germany was preconditioned by their own liberal democratic outlook. Even if they reached differing conclusions, they were united in their conviction that Hitler and the Nazis would not dare to continue their anti-Semitic campaign in the face of adverse ‘world opinion’.

description: We have performed systemmatic local linear stability analysis on a radially stratified infinite self-gravitating cylinder of rotating plasma under the influence of magnetic field. In order to render the system analytically tractable, we have focussed solely on the axisymmetric modes of perturbations. Using cylindrical coordinate system, we have derived the critical linear mass density of a non-rotating filament required for gravitational collapse to ensue in the presence of azimuthal magnetic field. Moreover, for such filaments threaded by axial magnetic field, we show that the growth rates of the modes having non-zero radial wavenumber are reduced more strongly by the magnetic field than that of the modes having zero radial wavenumber. More importantly, our study contributes to the understanding of the stability property of rotating astrophysical filaments that are more often than not influenced by magnetic fields. In addition to complementing many relevant numerical studies reported the literature, our results on filaments under the influence of magnetic field generalize some of the very recent analytical works (e.g.,~\citet{jog2014}, etc.). For example, here we prove that even a weak magnetic field can play a dominant role in determining stability of the filament when the rotation timescale is larger than the free fall timescale. A filamentary structure with faster rotation is, however, comparatively more stable for the same magnetic field. The results reported herein, due to strong locality assumption, are strictly valid for the modes for which one can ignore the radial variations in the density and the magnetic field profiles.

description: Assume that XΣ∈Rn is a centered random vector following a multivariate normal distribution with positive definite covariance matrix Σ. Let g:Rn→C be measurable and of moderate growth, say |g(x)|≲(1+|x|)N. We show that the map Σ↦E[g(XΣ)] is smooth, and we derive convenient expressions for its partial derivatives, in terms of certain expectations E[(∂αg)(XΣ)] of partial (distributional) derivatives of g. As we discuss, this result can be used to derive bounds for the expectation E[g(XΣ)] of a nonlinear function g(XΣ) of a Gaussian random vector XΣ with possibly correlated entries. For the case when g(x)=g1(x1)⋯gn(xn) has tensor-product structure, the above result is known in the engineering literature as Price’s theorem, originally published in 1958. For dimension n=2, it was generalized in 1964 by McMahon to the general case g:R2→C. Our contribution is to unify these results, and to give a mathematically fully rigorous proof. Precisely, we consider a normally distributed random vector XΣ∈Rn of arbitrary dimension n∈N, and we allow the nonlinearity g to be a general tempered distribution. To this end, we replace the expectation E[g(XΣ)] by the dual pairing ⟨g,ϕΣ⟩S′,S, where ϕΣ denotes the probability density function of XΣ.

description: Anomaly detection is critical to ensure the security of cyber-physical systems (CPS). However, due to the increasing complexity of attacks and CPS themselves, anomaly detection in CPS is becoming more and more challenging. In our previous work, we proposed a digital twin-based anomaly detection method, called ATTAIN, which takes advantage of both historical and real-time data of CPS. However, such data vary significantly in terms of difficulty. Therefore, similar to human learning processes, deep learning models (e.g., ATTAIN) can benefit from an easy-to-difficult curriculum. To this end, in this paper, we present a novel approach, named digitaL twin-based Anomaly deTecTion wIth Curriculum lEarning (LATTICE), which extends ATTAIN by introducing curriculum learning to optimize its learning paradigm. LATTICE attributes each sample with a difficulty score, before being fed into a training scheduler. The training scheduler samples batches of training data based on these difficulty scores such that learning from easy to difficult data can be performed. To evaluate LATTICE, we use five publicly available datasets collected from five real-world CPS testbeds. We compare LATTICE with ATTAIN and two other state-of-the-art anomaly detectors. Evaluation results show that LATTICE outperforms the three baselines and ATTAIN by 0.906%-2.367% in terms of the F1 score. LATTICE also, on average, reduces the training time of ATTAIN by 4.2% on the five datasets and is on par with the baselines in terms of detection delay time.
