description: When combining lumped mesoscopic electronic components to form a circuit, quantum fluctuations of electrical quantities lead to a non-linear electromagnetic interaction between the components that is not generally understood. The Landauer-Büttiker formalism that is frequently used to describe non-interacting coherent mesoscopic components is not directly suited to describe such circuits since it assumes perfect voltage bias, i.e. the absence of fluctuations. Here, we show that for short coherent conductors of arbitrary transmission, the Landauer-Büttiker formalism can be extended to take into account quantum voltage fluctuations similarly to what is done for tunnel junctions. The electrodynamics of the whole circuit is then formally worked out disregarding the non-Gaussianity of fluctuations. This reveals how the aforementioned non-linear interaction operates in short coherent conductors: voltage fluctuations induce a reduction of conductance through the phenomenon of dynamical Coulomb blockade but they also modify their internal density of states leading to an additional electrostatic modification of the transmission. Using this approach we can account quantitatively for conductance measurements performed on Quantum Point Contacts in series with impedances of the order of $R_K = h / e^2$. Our work should enable a better engineering of quantum circuits with targeted properties.

description: Motivated by the recent indications for a 750 GeV resonance in the di-photon final state at the LHC, in this work we analyse the compatibility of the excess with the broad photon excess detected at the Galactic Centre. Intriguingly, by analysing the parameter space of an effective models where a 750 GeV pseudoscalar particles mediates the interaction between the Standard Model and a scalar dark sector, we prove the compatibility of the two signals. We show, however, that the LHC mono-jet searches and the Fermi LAT measurements strongly limit the viable parameter space. We comment on the possible impact of cosmic antiproton flux measurement by the AMS-02 experiment.

description: Decadal-long radial velocity surveys have recently started to discover analogs to the most influential planet of our solar system, Jupiter. Detecting and characterizing these worlds is expected to shape our understanding of our uniqueness in the cosmos. Despite the great successes of recent transit surveys, Jupiter analogs represent a terra incognita, owing to the strong intrinsic bias of this method against long orbital periods. We here report on the first validated transiting Jupiter analog, Kepler-167e (KOI-490.02), discovered using Kepler archival photometry orbiting the K4-dwarf KIC-3239945. With a radius of $(0.91\pm0.02)$ $R_{\mathrm{Jup}}$, a low orbital eccentricity ($0.06_{-0.04}^{+0.10}$) and an equilibrium temperature of $(131\pm3)$ K, Kepler-167e bears many of the basic hallmarks of Jupiter. Kepler-167e is accompanied by three Super-Earths on compact orbits, which we also validate, leaving a large cavity of transiting worlds around the habitable-zone. With two transits and continuous photometric coverage, we are able to uniquely and precisely measure the orbital period of this post snow-line planet ($1071.2323\pm0.0006$ d), paving the way for follow-up of this $K=11.8$ mag target.

description: Robotic industrial systems (RIS) are an aim of cyber attacks on vulnerabil-ities of RIS software and hardware. The intensity and variety of such attacks are increasing, first of all, due to the use of commercial components for the de-velopment/integration of RISs, information about the vulnerabilities of which is published and can be collected from various sources to enhance attack means. To evaluate the risks of successful cyber attacks, it is needed to collect and apply dif-ferent techniques of assessment. The objective of the investigation is to suggest a method of risk-oriented assessing cyber security and safety of RISs and a choice of countermeasures to assure an acceptable risk of critical failures.

description: Amorphous ferrimagnetic TbFeCo thin films are found to exhibit exchange bias effect near the compensation temperature by magnetic hysteresis loop measurement. The observed exchange anisotropy is believed to originate from the exchange interaction between the two nanoscale amorphous phases distributed within the films. Here, we present a computational model of phase-separated TbFeCo using micromagnetic simulation. Two types of cells with different Tb concentration are distributed within the simulated space to obtain a heterogeneous structure consisting of two nanoscale amorphous phases. Each cell contains separated Tb and FeCo components, forming two antiferromagnetically coupled sublattices. Using this model, we are able to show the existence of exchange bias effect, and the shift in hysteresis loops is in agreement with experiment. The micromagnetic model developed herein for a heterogeneous magnetic material may also account for some recent measurements of exchange bias effect in crystalline films.

description: Coupling semiconducting nanocrystals (NCs) with organic molecules provides an efficient route to generate and transfer triplet excitons. These excitons can be used to power photochemical transformations such as photoisomerization reactions using low energy radiation. Thus, it is desirable to develop a general approach that can efficiently be used to control photoswitches using all-visible-light aiming at future applications in life- and materials sciences. Here, we demonstrate a simple ‘cocktail’ strategy that can achieve all-visible-light switchable diarylethenes (DAEs) through triplet energy transfer from the hybrid of CdS NCs and phenanthrene-3-carboxylic acid, with high photoisomerization efficiency and improved fatigue resistance. The size-tunable excitation energies of CdS NCs make it possible to precisely match the clear spectral window of the relevant DAE photoswitch. We demonstrate reversible all-visible-light photoisomerization of a series of DAE derivatives both in the liquid and solid state, even in the presence of oxygen. Our general strategy is promising for fabrication of all-visible-light activated optoelectronic devices as well as memories, and should in principle be adaptable to photopharmacology.

It is associated with the Cluster of Excellence in Plant Science, which includes Heinrich Heine University, the University of Cologne, and the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research and Research Centre Julich. The CPGE provides expertise and services related to the genetic transformation of plants, targeted mutagenesis using customized endonucleases, and the development and implementation of expression systems. They use transformation protocols based on Agrobacterium tumefaciens and biolistic methods. Reporter genes encoding Green fluorescent protein or RUBY are used to establish transformation protocols or test expression systems. Barley, tobacco, and Arabidopsis are routinely transformed, and the portfolio also includes sunflower, amaranth, and lupin. Two in vitro culture regeneration systems have been optimized for receiving transgenic or mutant plants for somatic embryogenesis and organogenesis. The methods and protocols allow for identifying molecular networks underlying chloroplast development, plant-microbe interactions, and minimizing photorespiration. Barley grain is used as a natural bioreactor for the accumulation of recombinant proteins known as molecular farming.

The new spectral feature we predict can provide the ultimate smoking gun for dark matter discovery for experiments with positive signal but unclear background. The new feature is universal, in that the ratio of bound over halo dark matter event rates at detectors is independent of the dark matter-nucleon cross section.

Witnesses of causal nonseparability: an introduction and a few case studies

description: It was recently realised that quantum theory allows for so-called causally nonseparable processes, which are incompatible with any definite causal order. This was first suggested on a rather abstract level by the formalism of process matrices, which only assumes that quantum theory holds locally in some observers' laboratories, but does not impose a global causal structure; it was then shown, on a more practical level, that the quantum switch---a new resource for quantum computation that goes beyond causally ordered circuits---provided precisely a physical example of a causally nonseparable process. To demonstrate that a given process is causally nonseparable, we introduced in [Araújo et al., New J. Phys. 17, 102001 (2015)] the concept of witnesses of causal nonseparability. Here we present a shorter introduction to this concept, and concentrate on some explicit examples to show how to construct and use such witnesses in practice.

description: A coupled-channel S- and P-wave next-to-leading order chiral-unitary approach for strangeness $S=-1$ meson-baryon scattering is extended to include the new data from the KLOE and AMADEUS experiments as well as the $Λπ$ mass distribution of the $Σ(1385)$. The positions of the poles on the second Riemann sheet corresponding to the $Σ(1385)$ pole and the $Λ(1380)$ and $Λ(1405)$ poles as well as the couplings of these states to various channels are calculated. We find that the resonance positions and branching ratios are on average determined with about 20\% higher precision when including the KLOE and AMADEUS data. Additionally, for the first time, the correlations between the parameters of the poles are investigated and shown to be relevant. We also find that the $Σ(1385)$ has negligible influence on the properties of the $Λ$ states given the available data. Still, we identify isospin-1 cusp structures in the present solution in light of new measurements of $π^\pmΛ$ line-shapes by the Belle collaboration.

description: Researchers in Canada compared the charts of 92 adults and 73 children who presented to an emergency department (ED) and were diagnosed with appendicitis1. They found that only 40% of the children — compared to 80% of the adult patients — were given pain medication during their ED stay. They were also significantly less likely than adults (27% to adults’ 71%) to receive opioid analgesics in particular, the researchers report.“Our study shows that a large number of children who appeared to have moderate to severe pain caused by appendicitis did not receive appropriate pain medication, out of proportion to their adult counterparts”, says family physician Christopher Krause, who specializes in emergency medicine. “To us, this suggests that opportunities to provide pain control to children are being missed”.Krause, a researcher at the University of Saskatchewan in Canada, says the data they collected does not allow them to fully say why this discrepancy occurred or what would have been the ‘correct’ amount of pain medication to administer. “Good quantitative research regarding these barriers is not available at the moment but the study could stimulate physicians, nurses and other ED health professionals to identify and address barriers in their particular institutions”, he says.Current medical practice supports optimal pain control to promote quick and full recovery in patients. It also helps the prevention of secondary problems, explains Krause. But there seem to be numerous barriers to providing good pain control in children. These might include learned practices from senior physicians, a lack of understanding of the importance of pain control, difficulty in assessing pain in children, reluctance to insert intravenous drips into children’s veins and concerns from parents and physicians about the effects of analgesics on children.“Ultimately, we must remember that pain of some kind is the most common reason that patients present to the emergency department,” says Krause. “As emergency physicians, we must make a conscious effort to manage our patients’ pain while we are simultaneously identifying and treating its underlying cause.”The next steps, he says, would be to follow patients in the ED to obtain data on patient perceptions of their pain management and obstacles to its effective management. “This would be a difficult study to design and would be much more resource intensive, but I think the information it could provide would be invaluable,” he says.Other InformationPublished in: QScience.com Highlights, Published by Nature Research for Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)

description: The millimeter wave frequencies (roughly above 10 GHz) offer the availability of massive bandwidth to greatly increase the capacity of fifth generation (5G) cellular wireless systems. However, to overcome the high isotropic pathloss at these frequencies, highly directional transmissions will be required at both the base station (BS) and the mobile user equipment (UE) to establish sufficient link budget in wide area networks. This reliance on directionality has important implications for control layer procedures. Initial access in particular can be significantly delayed due to the need for the BS and the UE to find the initial directions of transmission. This paper provides a survey of several recently proposed techniques. Detection probability and delay analysis is performed to compare various techniques including exhaustive and iterative search. We show that the optimal strategy depends on the target SNR regime.

description: How directly transmitted pathogens benefit from harming hosts is key to understanding virulence evolution. It is recognized that pathogens benefit from high within-host loads, often associated with virulence. However, high virulence may also directly augment spread of a given amount of pathogen, here termed ‘spreadability’. We used house finches and the conjunctival pathogen Mycoplasma gallisepticum to test whether two components of virulence—the severity of conjunctival inflammation and behavioural morbidity produced—predict pathogen spreadability. We applied ultraviolet powder around the conjunctiva of finches that were inoculated with pathogen treatments of distinct virulence and measured within-flock powder spread, our proxy for ‘spreadability’. When compared to uninfected controls, birds infected with a high-virulence, but not low-virulence, pathogen strain, spread significantly more powder to flockmates. Relative to controls, high-virulence treatment birds both had more severe conjunctival inflammation—which potentially facilitated powder shedding—and longer bouts on feeders, which serve as fomites. However, food peck rates and displacements with flockmates were lowest in high-virulence treatment birds relative to controls, suggesting inflammatory rather than behavioural mechanisms likely drive augmented spreadability at high virulence. Our results suggest that inflammation associated with virulence can facilitate pathogen spread to conspecifics, potentially favouring virulence evolution in this system and others.

This is a generic model suitable for transcribing a variety of Old Cyrillic script styles including uncial and semi-uncial. The original training set was prepared in Transkribus, whence it was exported and re-used to train this model. It is possible that the export caused some distortions of baselines or line masks, or corruptions in the data, which may have inflated CER (despite manual cleansing prior to Kraken training).

description: A spinning gas, heated adiabatically through axial compression, is known to exhibit a rotation-dependent heat capacity. However, as equilibrium is approached, a new effect is identified here wherein the temperature does not grow homogeneously in the radial direction, but develops a temperature differential with the hottest region on axis, at the maximum of the centrifugal potential energy. This phenomenon, which we call a piezo-thermal effect, is shown to grow bilinearly with the compression rate and the amplitude of the potential. Numerical simulations confirm a simple model of this effect, which can be generalized to other forms of potential energy and methods of heating.

description: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a condition that results from chronic inflammation of the lung tissues, making it difficult to breathe. The disease progressively gets worse over time, but sometimes patients experience a sudden worsening in their symptoms, called an acute exacerbation, which can last for several days. Researchers in Syria compared the blood levels of surfactant protein D (SP-D), a protein produced by lung cells, in 28 healthy volunteers, 28 patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and 28 COPD patients experiencing a sudden worsening in their condition . They found serum SP-D levels in COPD patients experiencing an exacerbation were 1.5 times than in stable COPD patients and almost three times higher than in healthy volunteers. Levels in stable COPD patients were also almost two times higher than those in healthy subjects. “COPD is very common in Syria but there are no published statistical studies about its prevalence in the country”, says Damascus University biochemist Alaa Zien Alaabden. Its main cause is smoking, she says, but other causes include occupational exposure and indoor pollution from cooking and heating in some rural areas. The role of SP-D in the lung is uncertain but thought to be related to protecting the lung from inhaled pathogens. Researchers believe that changes in the permeability of diseased lung tissue result in its release into the bloodstream. There is currently no lung-specific biomarker for the diagnosis of COPD exacerbations. Since SP-D is produced by the lung, it could be used for the early diagnosis of exacerbations, says Zien Alaabden, helping physicians consider immediate treatment options. Acute exacerbations are currently difficult to diagnose because the symptoms are subjective and their signs are often non-specific and difficult to measure. Symptoms of acute exacerbations are only weakly correlated to a decline in lung function, says Zien Alaabden. Even in advanced disease, she says, not all patients have the same symptoms. “It’s better to have a lung-specific biomarker for COPD exacerbations, especially since its symptoms may mimic other conditions”, she says. Owing to the difficult conditions in Syria, the team was unable to test SP-D levels in a larger study sample. In the future, they hope to be able to compare levels at the start of an exacerbation and when it resolves. They also want to measure its levels inside the lung itself. The results of this study are consistent with those of the only two studies the researchers are aware of that report on the role of SP-D in COPD exacerbations.Other InformationPublished in: QScience.com Highlights, Published by Nature Research for Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)

title: Visible and Invisible Care: An Anthropological Study of Nursing Assistants on a Psychiatric Ward in London
Creators: name: Curran, John Martin
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2006

description: This thesis is based on ethnographic research carried out in a psychiatric hospital in London. It explores the ways in which mental health care is constructed and practiced by different sections of staff. Everyday psychiatric care functions through the management of contradictions between C, two different approaches. The first will be termed the official discourse of care created within professional domains such as Government, NHS and Trust policies. Fundamental to this is a desire for a patient-centred approach where care is 'therapeutic' and 'empowering'. This official discourse structures the ideology which nurses, psychiatrists and Trust management attempt to follow. The second approach here termed the unofficial approaches of care, turns the official discourse on its head. It is constructed by the unqualified sector of the psychiatric staff - the nursing Z-1 assistants (NAs). Typically, nursing assistants who enter into this low paid employment are not motivated by vocation, as the official discourse implies. They are positioned in, what I term, the organization's buffer zone: the meeting point of the official and unofficial. It is within this zone that the undesirable, but essential areas of care are carried out so that the official ideology of care prevails. While the unofficial domain primarily protects the nursing assistant, it also protects the qualified staff from acknowledging specific aspects of care on the ward. The dependency results in a 'trade-off' in which the role of the nursing assistant is made invisible. The specific focus of this thesis not only lends itself to broader debates on the role that contradictions play within psychiatry, but also how the concept of contradictions can develop the anthropology of organisations, policy and work.
Stellar Velocity Dispersion for a Strongly-Lensed, Intermediate-Mass Quiescent Galaxy at z=2.8

description: Measuring stellar velocity dispersions of quiescent galaxies beyond $z\sim2$ is observationally challenging. Such measurements require near-infrared spectra with a continuum detection of at least moderate signal-to-noise, often necessitating long integrations. In this paper, we present deep X-Shooter spectroscopy of one of only two known gravitationally-lensed massive quiescent galaxies at $z>2$. This galaxy is quadruply imaged, with the brightest images magnified by a factor of $\sim5$. The total exposure time of our data is 9.8 hours on-source; however the magnification, and the slit placement encompassing 2 images, provides a total equivalent exposure time of 215 hours. From this deep spectrum we measure a redshift ($z_{\mathrm{spec}}=2.756\pm0.001$), making this one of the highest redshift quiescent galaxies that is spectroscopically confirmed. We simultaneously fit both the spectroscopic and photometric data to determine stellar population parameters and conclude this galaxy is relatively young, intermediate-mass, consistent with low dust content, and has quenched only relatively recently. This recent quenching is confirmed by strong Balmer absorption, particularly $Hδ$. Remarkably, this proves that at least some intermediate-mass galaxies have already quenched as early as $z\sim2.8$. Additionally, we have measured a velocity dispersion ($σ=187\pm43~\mathrm{km/s}$), making this the highest-redshift quiescent galaxy with a dispersion measurement. We confirm that this galaxy falls on the same mass fundamental plane (MFP) as galaxies at z=2.2, consistent with little to no evolution in the MFP up to z=2.8. Overall this galaxy is proof of existence of intermediate-mass quenched galaxies in the distant universe, and that lensing is a powerful tool for determining their properties with improved accuracy.

description: Understanding the temperature dependence of the optical properties of thin metal films is critical for designing practical devices for high temperature applications in a variety of research areas, including plasmonics and near-field radiative heat transfer. Even though the optical properties of bulk metals at elevated temperatures have been studied, the temperature-dependent data for thin metal films, with thicknesses ranging from few tens to few hundreds of nanometers, is largely missing. In this work we report on the optical constants of single- and polycrystalline gold thin films at elevated temperatures in the wavelength range from 370 to 2000 nm. Our results show that while the real part of the dielectric function changes marginally with increasing temperature, the imaginary part changes drastically. For 200-nm-thick single- and polycrystalline gold films the imaginary part of the dielectric function at 500 0C becomes nearly twice larger than that at room temperature. In contrast, in thinner films (50-nm and 30-nm) the imaginary part can show either increasing or decreasing behavior within the same temperature range and eventually at 500 0C it becomes nearly 3-4 times larger than that at room temperature. The increase in the imaginary part at elevated temperatures significantly reduces the surface plasmon polariton propagation length and the quality factor of the localized surface plasmon resonance for a spherical particle. We provide experiment-fitted models to describe the temperature-dependent gold dielectric function as a sum of one Drude and two Critical Point oscillators. These causal analytical models could enable accurate multiphysics modelling of gold-based nanophotonic and plasmonic elements in both frequency and time domains.

description: We extensively study the Toner-Tu-Swift-Hohenberg model of motile active matter by means of direct numerical simulations in a two-dimensional confined domain. By exploring the space of parameters of the model we investigate the emergence of a new state of active turbulence which occurs when the aligning interactions and the self-propulsion of the swimmers are strong. This regime of flocking turbulence is characterized by a population of few strong vortices, each surrounded by an island of coherent flocking motion. The energy spectrum of flocking turbulence displays a power-law scaling with an exponent which depends weakly on the model parameters. By increasing the confinement we observe that flocking turbulence becomes unstable: after a long transient, characterized by power-law distributed transition times, the system switches to the ordered state of a single giant vortex
