description: Abstract: Long-lived basaltic volcanic eruptions are a globally important source of environmentally reactive, volatile metal pollutant elements such as selenium, cadmium and lead. The 2018 eruption of Kīlauea, Hawai’i produced exceptionally high discharge of metal pollutants, and was an unprecedented opportunity to track them from vent to deposition. Here we show, through geochemical sampling of the plume that volatile metal pollutants were depleted in the plume up to 100 times faster than refractory species, such as magnesium and iron. We propose that this rapid wet deposition of complexes containing reactive and potentially toxic volatile metal pollutants may disproportionately impact localised areas close to the vent. We infer that the relationship between volatility and solubility is an important control on the atmospheric behaviour of elements. We suggest that assessment of hazards from volcanic emissions should account for heterogeneous plume depletion of metal pollutants.
Multi-planetary systems orbiting early-M dwarfs

Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: Here, we will present the discovery of four Earth- and mini-Neptune mass planets orbiting two M dwarfs of the solar vicinity. We measured the masses of all planets using precise measurements of radial velocities, including CARMENES data. The two mini-Neptunes are transiting their parent star, one was announced by TESS and the other was found by us. Their composition is likely made of liquid water and silicates according to the models of Zeng et al. (2016). While the two Earth-mass planets are placed on opposite sides of the radius valley for M dwarfs and lie between the star and the inner border of the habitable zone of the star. These results are based on González-Álvarez et al. 2022, A&A 658, A138 and González-Álvarez et al. in prep.
Spectral evolution of the ultraluminous X-ray sources M82 X-1 and X-2

description: M82 hosts two well-known ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs). X-1, an intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH) candidate, and X-2, an ultraluminous X-ray pulsar (ULXP). Here we present a broadband X-ray spectral analysis of both sources based on ten observations made simultaneously with Chandra and NuSTAR. Chandra provides the high spatial resolution to resolve the crowded field in the 0.5--8 keV band, and NuSTAR provides the sensitive hard X-ray spectral data, extending the bandpass of our study above 10 keV. The observations, taken in the period 2015--2016, cover a period of flaring from X-1, allowing us to study the spectral evolution of this source with luminosity. During four of these observations, X-2 was found to be at a low flux level, allowing an unambiguous view of the emission from X-1. We find that the broadband X-ray emission from X-1 is consistent with that seen in other ULXs observed in detail with NuSTAR, with a spectrum that includes a broadened disk-like component and a high-energy tail. We find that the luminosity of the disk scales with inner disk temperature as L~T^-3/2 contrary to expectations of a standard accretion disk and previous results. These findings rule out a thermal state for sub-Eddington accretion and therefore do not support M82 X-1 as an IMBH candidate. We also find evidence that the neutral column density of the material in the line of sight increases with L$_X$, perhaps due to an increased mass outflow with accretion rate. For X-2, we do not find any significant spectral evolution, but we find the spectral parameters of the phase-averaged broadband emission are consistent with the pulsed emission at the highest X-ray luminosities.

This Little Lake
Creators: name: Stryker, Marije
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia

description: Trout Lake in East Vancouver is full of heterotopias: small enacted utopias that are different to the main culture in some way. This is a place where people feel comfortable engaging with the landscape – they live, celebrate, and create art here, altering the physical landscape to suit their needs. In This Little Lake, Trout Lake becomes a testing ground for how a landscape design process can be based in fluidity and relationship. Physical interventions emerge by deeply noticing and working with the specific site, people and non-human actors that make up that place. There is no fixed endpoint- it is meant to shift as people interact with their environment, using existing and introduced elements to suit their needs. These unique heterotopian places exist in every urban context, integral to their communities - they must be given room to remain as they are.

 Comments
 This subspecies is named after the region it mainly inhabits. It is strange that it should have been confused with ‘P.’ alepensis, since Pic’s description indicates a species with “... larges squamules denses qui garnissent le dessus de son corps.” Records of P. alepensis Pic in Korotyaev 1991 refer to Notodermus sp. (specimens examined).

description: The University of Virginia Library is working to support new data management requirements in science and engineering by developing a model that first draws upon close collaboration between data experts and subject librarians, and culminates in policy and infrastructure recommendations to the University's Office of the Vice President for Research (VPR) and the Office of the Vice President/Chief Information Officer (VP/CIO). This model begins with a data interview to assess the researcher's data management practices and needs and to establish a baseline awareness of current practice. After collecting this information, the results are furnished to the institutional repository team and NSF Data Management Plan working group to inform their processes. In aggregate form, this information is provided to the VPR and VP/CIO as policy and infrastructure recommendations. Ultimately, the entire process cycles back to the researcher with specific recommendations and solutions that will help improve the research process. This presentation will offer a case study following a scientist through this consulting process with the hope that it will be useful as a means of identifying user needs and as a model for the evolving data profession across many disciplines.

The primary empirical focus of this paper is descriptive. We seek to establish the extent to which there are identifiable population subgroups that cluster together within the Auckland Urban Area, and further, to ascertain where these groups mainly live. It confirms previous findings of strong ethnic clustering and identifies clustering by qualification, income, and country of birth. It examines the interaction between incomes, land prices, and population density, and the relationship of land price with access to selected locational amenities.

description: In this work, we derive a set of compact analytical formulas expressing the three-dimensional acoustic radiation torque (ART) exerted on a particle of arbitrary shape embedded in a fluid and insonified by an arbitrary acoustic field. This formulation enables direct computation of the ART from the angular spectrum based beam shape coefficients introduced by Sapozhnikov and Bailey [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 133, 661 (2013)] and the partial wave coefficients. It is particularly well suited to determine the ART exerted on a particle when the acoustic field is known in a source plane.

description: We combine firm-level innovation data with area-level Census data to examine the relationship between local workforce characteristics, especially the presence of immigrants and local skills, and the likelihood of innovation by firms. We examine a range of innovation outcomes, and test the relationship for selected subgroups of firms. We find a positive relationship between local workforce characteristics and average innovation outcomes in labour market areas, but this is accounted for by variation in firm characteristics such as firm size, industry, and research and development expenditure. Controlling for these influences, we find no systematic evidence of an independent link between local workforce characteristics and innovation.
Financial Contracts and the Management of Carbon Emissions in Small Scale Plantation Forests

Subjects: subject: Resource /Energy Economics and Policy

subject: forest sequestration

description: Under the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme, foresters can obtain carbon units as their forests sequester carbon. If they sell these units as they are earned, the units must be repurchased when the forest is harvested, exposing foresters to price risk. This paper examines the way forward markets, futures markets, and carbon lending markets could be used to manage this risk. It argues that carbon lending markets are likely to be the most convenient form for foresters, as they allow the total returns from forestry investments to be increased with minimal risk. The carbon units can be lent to industrial firms or developers of new forests to minimise the carbon risk they face if they make carbon reducing investments.
Hierarchical Construction of Finite Diabatic Sets, By Mathieu Functions

description: An extension is given for the standard two component model of adiabatic, Born-Oppenheimer (BO) electronic states in a polyatonic molecule, by use of Mathieu functions of arbitrary order. The curl or compatibility conditions for the construction of a diabatic set of states based on a finite- dimensional subset of BO states are not satisfied exactly. It is shown, however, that, by successively adding higher order Mathieu functions to the BO set, the compatibility conditions are satisfied with increasingly better accuracy. We then generalize to situations in which the nonadiabatic couplings (the dynamic corrections to the BO approximation) are small (though not necessarily zero) between a finite-dimensional BO subset and the rest of the BO states. We prove that approximate diabatic sets exist, with an error that is of the order of the square of the neglected nonadiabatic couplings.

Does Selling State Silver Generate Private Gold? Determinants and Impacts of State House Sales and Acquisitions in New Zealand

description: New Zealand experienced two natural experiments with respect to state-provided social housing after 1990. First, while continuing to acquire new state houses, the National Government substantially reduced the overall state house stock by selling a greater number of houses either to existing tenants (through the Home Buy scheme) or, if the house was vacant, to other purchasers (vacant sales). From 1999, the Labour-led government ended homebuys, greatly reduced vacant sales and increased acquisitions, resulting in a major increase in the state house stock. We examine determinants of the spatial distribution of homebuys, vacant sales and acquisitions over the period 1991–2006, focusing on levels of, and changes in, local deprivation status and house prices as determinants. Having modelled the determinants of each category, we test whether homebuys, vacant sales, and acquisitions in an area over one five-year period had an effect on changes in local deprivation and house prices in the succeeding five-year period, after controlling for initial levels of, and prior changes in, deprivation and house prices. We find that state house acquisitions in an area led to a subsequent rise in local deprivation, consistent with the policy aim of providing housing to those most in need. While vacant sales had no material effects, a greater number of homebuys in an area led to increased local real house price appreciation over the subsequent five year period. This finding, based on the results of a politically-driven natural experiment, is consistent with the hypothesis that a scheme that transforms existing tenants into homeowners (at the same location) improves community outcomes for the surrounding neighbourhood.

description: Does homeownership affect individual social capital and thereby influence local outcomes? Following DiPasquale and Glaeser, a body of literature suggests that homeownership is positively related to social capital formation. Homeowners have an incentive to engage in the local community in order to preserve or enhance the value of their housing asset. Moreover, homeownership creates barriers to geographic mobility, which increases the present value of the expected stream of benefits from local community social capital. We test the homeownership hypothesis alongside other individual, household and locational determinants of social capital using unique data created by merging the 2006 and 2008 samples of the New Zealand Quality of Life survey. The measures of social capital used in our analysis include trust in others, participation in social networks, attitude towards local governance and sense of community. Since homeownership is not randomly assigned, we complement our regression models with propensity score matching to control for selection effects. The results confirm that homeownership exerts considerable positive impact in the formation of social capital in New Zealand communities. In raising accountability of local government it does, however, lead to reduced satisfaction by homeowners in the performance of local councils.

Most are slowly spinning up, although there are sometimes years-long episodes of spin-down. This is supportive of the idea that the underlying magnetic white dwarfs are near spin equilibrium. In addition to the ~40 stars sharing many properties and defined by their strong, pulsed X-ray emission, there are a few rotating much faster (P<80 s), whose membership in the class is still in doubt -- and who are overdue for closer study.

description: Having good longitudinal identifiers is important in empirical microeconomics, since researchers often need to be able to observe the same unit over time to make causal inferences. However, firm identifiers in Statistics New Zealand’s Longitudinal Business Database can be “broken” by, among other things, changes in the legal status of the firm. This paper proposes a simple method for repairing broken firm identifiers, making use of existing plant migration data. We show that making such repairs materially reduces the apparent rate of business entry and exit, and allows real economic phenomena, such as small business incorporation, to be observed for the first time.

description: Temperature- and magnetic-field dependent measurements of the resistance of ultrathin superconducting TiN films are presented. The analysis of the temperature dependence of the zero field resistance indicates an underlying insulating behavior, when the contribution of Aslamasov-Larkin fluctuations is taken into account. This demonstrates the possibility of coexistence of the superconducting and insulating phases and of a direct transition from the one to the other. The scaling behavior of magnetic field data is in accordance with a superconductor-insulator transition (SIT) driven by quantum phase fluctuations in two-dimensional superconductor. The temperature dependence of the isomagnetic resistance data on the high-field side of the SIT has been analyzed and the presence of an insulating phase was confirmed. A transition from the insulating to a metallic phase is found at high magnetic fields, where the zero-temperature asymptotic value of the resistance being equal to h/e^2.

description: We calculate the signal rate of hypothetical heavy neutral leptons (HNL or sterile neutrinos) from kaon decays expected in the framework of the SHiP experiment. The kaons are produced in the hadronic shower initiated in the beam-dump mode by 400 GeV protons from CERN SPS. For a sufficiently light HNL (when the decays are kinematically allowed) we find kaon decays to be a noticeably richer source of HNL as compared to $D$-meson decays adopted in previous studies of the HNL phenomenology at SHiP. In particular, SHiP is capable of fully exploring the central part of the kinematically allowed region of the HNL mass and mixing with electron and muon neutrinos down to the lower cosmological bound. The latter is associated with HNL decays in the early Universe to energetic products rescattering off and thus destroying light nuclei produced at the primordial nucleosynthesis. A consistency of the HNL model with smaller mixing would require either a hierarchy -- much larger mixing of all the HNL with tau neutrino -- or non-standard cosmology and new ingredients in the HNL sector, closing the room for the minimal non-seesaw type I model with sterile neutrinos lighter than kaons.

description: Patterns are explored of the evolutionary stages in the management of economic exchange as economic activity grows and becomes more diverse and complex. These patterns are related to the economic development and external trade of Phoenician city-states. In addition, attention is given to how well economic theories explain the evolution of Phoenician external trading, with particular attention being given to the Heckscher-Ohlin theory of international trade. Also explored is the role of ‘new’ (evolving) media of exchange in facilitating interactive trade, especially that of Phoenicia. The possible methods that Phoenician rulers (and some other ancient rulers) adopted to extract a portion of the economic surplus from trade are outlined, and the policy issues they faced are discussed. It is concluded that media of exchange such as gold, silver and other treasures which initially fostered the growth of international trade, subsequently resulted in stifling this growth. This is because these items came to be regarded as a measure of real material wealth and led to policies being adopted by states which were intended to increase each state’s stock of these treasures. The seeds of mercantilism were sown. This system had several negative economic consequences and it actually tended to reduce international trade and decrease the economic prosperity of nations.

description: Slow-moving ($v \sim 15$ km/s) 'dark matter particles' have allegedly been discovered in a recent experiment. We explore the possibility that these slow moving dark matter particles are small mirror matter dust particles originating from our solar system. Ways of further testing our hypothesis, including the possibility of observing these dust particles in cryogenic detectors such as NAUTILUS, are also discussed.

description: A simple variant of the BDDC preconditioner in which constraints are imposed on a selected set of subobjects (subdomain subedges, subfaces and vertices between pairs of subedges) is presented. We are able to show that the condition number of the preconditioner is bounded by $C \big(1+\log (L/h)\big)^2$, where $C$ is a constant, and $h$ and $L$ are the characteristic sizes of the mesh and the subobjects, respectively. As $L$ can be chosen almost freely, the condition number can theoretically be as small as $O(1)$. We will discuss the pros and cons of the preconditioner and its application to heterogeneous problems. Numerical results on supercomputers are provided.
Harmonization Potential of 53 Large Population-Based Studies Using the DataSHaPER

Year: 2011

description: The DataSHaPER (DataSchema and Harmonization Platform for Epidemiological Research; http://www.datashaper.org) was developed to provide a flexible, but structured approach to the harmonization and pooling of selected information between studies. In this poster/demonstration, this methodological tool is used to demonstrate the potential of sharing harmonized data (148 reference variables) between 53 large population-based studies (6.9 million participants). The DataSHaPER approach to retrospective harmonization is threefold. Firstly, rules reflecting the formal criteria that determine if a particular reference variable can be recreated from the assessment items of each study are defined. These rules also determine the quality of the match between reference variables and assessment items. Secondly, rules are applied for each reference variable and for each study participating in the harmonization process. Finally, results from this exercise are tabulated to illustrate the data sharing potential between participating studies. Results from this harmonization exercise show that a number of important reference variables can potentially be shared and co-analyzed by a large number of participating studies. The data harmonization potential thus demonstrated by the DataSHaPER tool offers the promise of greatly enhanced collaborative research generated through synthesized databases in many fields including health, environmental, and social sciences.

description: The threshold pbar-p peak in BES data for J/Ψto gamma-pbar-p may be fitted as a cusp. It arises from the well known threshold peak in pbar-p elastic scattering due to annihilation. Several similar examples are discussed. The PS185 data for pbar-p to Lambdabar-Lambda require an almost identical cusp at the Lambdabar-Lambda threshold. There is also a cusp at the Sigma-N threshold in Kminus-d to piminus-Lambda-p. Similar cusps are likely to arise at thresholds for all 2-body de-excitation processes, providing the interaction is attractive; likely examples are Lambda-pbar, Sigma-pbar, and Kbar-Lambda. The narrow peak observed by Belle at 3872 MeV in piplus-piminus-J/Psi may be a 1++ cusp due to the Dbar-D* threshold. The narrow Xi*(1862) observed by NA49 may be due to a threshold cusp in Sigma(1385)-Kbar coupled to Xi-pi and Sigma-Kbar. The relation of cusps to known resonances such as fo(980) is discussed.

Year: 2011

description: The International Federation of Data Organizations for the Social Sciences (IFDO) was established in 1977. It supports data exchange and cross-national comparative research through cooperation between national social science data archives. IFDO was established to promote projects and procedures for enhancing exchange of data and technologies among data organizations, to stimulate development and use of these procedures throughout the world, and to encourage new data organizations to further these objectives. Now IFDO is thinking through its strategy, governance and position. The future IFDO aims to work in multilateral cooperation with other organizations (like CESSDA, IASSIST) and activities (like International Data Forum). This poster declares thoughts on the new position of IFDO, and calls data archives and data professionals to contribute ideas to the planning process.

description: We introduce a fast spatial point pattern analysis technique which is suitable for systems of many identical particles giving rise to multi-particle correlations up to arbitrary order. The obtained correlation parameters allow to quantify the quality of mean field assumptions or theories that incorporate correlations of limited order. We study the Vicsek model of self-propelled particles and create a correlation map marking the required correlation order for each point in phase space incorporating up to ten-particle correlations. We find that multi-particle correlations are important even in a large part of the disordered phase. Furthermore, the two-particle correlation parameter serves as an excellent order parameter to locate both phase transitions of the system, whereas two different order parameters were required before.

description: Like other scientific artifacts that are in digital form, geospatial data, maps, and other spatial information products and services are at risk of being lost if not preserved for future use. Enabling the future use of geospatial data can foster new opportunities for learning and facilitate capabilities for scientific investigations to build on the results of previous research. A key challenge is to promote awareness of the need for preservation and the approaches, methods, and tools available to support preservation efforts. Providing developers and managers of geospatial information with web-based tools and information resources to preserve geospatial data can contribute to capabilities for enabling long-term access to geospatial data. The Geospatial Data Preservation Resource Center is being developed to provide communities of geospatial data professionals, scientific data librarians, and others interested in the preservation of geospatial assets with resources to assist them in preserving our geospatial information heritage. The presentation describes the design and development of an online resource center about the preservation of geospatial data, including a survey of the geospatial data management community conducted to inform its design and identify expectations for use.

description: As a result of concerns about the long-term sustainability of globalized retail trade and the stronger presence of health conscious consumer behaviour, governments and groups of conscious consumers worldwide are increasingly focusing on the promotion and development of local food systems and small-scale retail chains and the production of quality local food products to promote the market. In our paper, we would like to give an overview of community-led alternative types of local food systems, with particular attention to shopping community-type consumer and consumer communities. We also describe the main results of our primary research in the population and the shopping community. During the questionnaire we revealed general consumer behaviour and the demand and attitude of local food, the popularity of the customer communities in the settlement of the respondents. In the survey conducted among members of the consumer community, we looked at the analytical areas designated as a target in the population questionnaire for the purpose of comparability and our aim was to explore the sociometrics and lifestyles of communities as well as their community experiences and possible developments. Our hypothesis is that there is a close correlation between the respondents with higher education and income and the preferences of local food. Furthermore, it is assumed that there is a significant difference between the food consumption behaviors of the two samples examined.

Testing Alternative Theories of Gravity using LISA

Publisher: name: arXiv

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

description: We investigate the possible bounds which could be placed on alternative theories of gravity using gravitational wave detection from inspiralling compact binaries with the proposed LISA space interferometer. Specifically, we estimate lower bounds on the coupling parameter ωof scalar-tensor theories of the Brans-Dicke type and on the Compton wavelength of the graviton λ_g in hypothetical massive graviton theories. In these theories, modifications of the gravitational radiation damping formulae or of the propagation of the waves translate into a change in the phase evolution of the observed gravitational waveform. We obtain the bounds through the technique of matched filtering, employing the LISA Sensitivity Curve Generator (SCG), available online. For a neutron star inspiralling into a 10^3 M_sun black hole in the Virgo Cluster, in a two-year integration, we find a lower bound ω> 3 * 10^5. For lower-mass black holes, the bound could be as large as 2 * 10^6. The bound is independent of LISA arm length, but is inversely proportional to the LISA position noise error. Lower bounds on the graviton Compton wavelength ranging from 10^15 km to 5 * 10^16 km can be obtained from one-year observations of massive binary black hole inspirals at cosmological distances (3 Gpc), for masses ranging from 10^4 to 10^7 M_sun. For the highest-mass systems (10^7 M_sun), the bound is proportional to (LISA arm length)^{1/2} and to (LISA acceleration noise)^{-1/2}. For the others, the bound is independent of these parameters because of the dominance of white-dwarf confusion noise in the relevant part of the frequency spectrum. These bounds improve and extend earlier work which used analytic formulae for the noise curves.

description: Aims: Deprescribing of antihypertensive drugs is recommended for some older patients with polypharmacy, but there is little evidence to inform which drug (or dose) should be withdrawn. This study used data from the OPTiMISE trial to examine whether short-term outcomes of deprescribing vary by drug class and dose of medication withdrawn. Methods: The OPTiMISE trial included patients aged ≥80 years with controlled systolic blood pressure (SBP; <150 mmHg), receiving ≥2 antihypertensive medications. This study compared SBP control, mean change in SBP and frequency of adverse events after 12 weeks in participants stopping one medication vs. usual care, by drug class and equivalent dose of medication withdrawn. Equivalent dose was determined according to the defined daily dose (DDD) of each medication type. Drugs prescribed below the DDD were classed as low dose and those prescribed at ≥DDD were described as higher dose. Outcomes were examined by generalized linear mixed effects models. Results: A total of 569 participants were randomized, aged 85 ± 3 years with controlled blood pressure (mean 130/69 mmHg). Within patients prescribed calcium channel blockers, higher dose medications were more commonly selected for withdrawal (90 vs. 10%). In those prescribed beta-blockers, low dose medications were more commonly chosen (87 vs. 13%). Withdrawal of calcium channel blockers was associated with an increase in SBP (5 mmHg, 95%CI 0–10 mmHg) and reduced SBP control (adjusted RR 0.89, 95%CI 0.80–0.998) compared to usual care. In contrast, withdrawal of beta-blockers was associated with no change in SBP (−4 mmHg, 95%CI −10 to 2 mmHg) and no difference in SBP control (adjusted RR 1.15, 95%CI 0.96–1.37). Similarly, withdrawal of higher dose medications was associated with an increase in SBP but no change in BP control. Withdrawal of lower dose medications was not associated with a difference in SBP or SBP control. There was no association between withdrawal of specific drug classes and adverse events. Conclusion: These exploratory data suggest withdrawal of higher dose calcium channel blockers should be avoided if the goal is to maintain BP control. However, low dose beta-blockers may be removed with little impact on blood pressure over 12-weeks of follow-up. Larger studies are needed to confirm these associations.
