description: The instability toward a magnetic skyrmion crystal in centrosymmetric trilayer magnets is investigated based on a spin model with layer-dependent Dzayloshinskii-Moriya interaction. We find various types of skyrmion crystal phases with different skyrmion numbers in a low-temperature phase diagram by performing the simulated annealing. In addition to the Néel skyrmion crystal phase that is expected to emerge in the presence of the polar-type Dzayloshinskii-Moriya interaction, we obtain the skyrmion crystal phases characteristics of the layered system: the twisted surface skyrmion crystal, anti-skyrmion crystal, and high-topological-number skyrmion crystal phases. The rich magnetic phases are brought about by the synergy among the layer-dependent Dzayloshinskii-Moriya interaction, interlayer exchange interaction, and an external magnetic field. Our results indicate that the layer degree of freedom at the surface and heterostructures provides a good platform to engineer and design the topological spin textures.

description: We report our theoretical results on the emergence of rectangular- and square-shaped magnetic skyrmion crystals on a centrosymmetric square lattice with magnetic anisotropy. By performing the simulated annealing for a frustrated spin model with an easy-axis single-ion anisotropy on a square lattice, we find that a competition of the interactions in momentum space gives rise to the formation of two skyrmion crystals, where the skyrmion cores are aligned in a rectangle- or square-lattice way. Especially, the interactions at the higher harmonic wave vectors play an important role in stabilizing the square/rectangular skyrmion crystals. Our results provide a reference to explore further skyrmion-hosting materials in centrosymmetric tetragonal systems.

description: Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide. Today, the critical role of the immune system in tumor control is undisputed. Checkpoint antibody immunotherapy augments existing antitumor T cell activity with durable clinical responses in many tumor entities. Despite the presence of tumor-associated antigens and neoantigens, many patients have an insufficient repertoires of antitumor T cells. Autologous tumor vaccinations aim at alleviating this defect, but clinical success is modest. Loading tumor material into autologous dendritic cells followed by their laboratory expansion and therapeutic vaccination is promising, both conceptually and clinically. However, this process is laborious, time-consuming, costly, and hence less likely to solve the global cancer crisis. Therefore, it is proposed to re-focus on personalized anticancer vaccinations to enhance the immunogenicity of autologous therapeutic tumor vaccines. Recent work re-established the idea of using the alarming agents of the immune system, oxidative modifications, as an intrinsic adjuvant to broaden the antitumor T cell receptor repertoire in cancer patients. The key novelty is the use of gas plasma, a multi-reactive oxygen and nitrogen species-generating technology, for diversifying oxidative protein modifications in a, so far, unparalleled manner. This significant innovation has been successfully used in proof-of-concept studies and awaits broader recognition and implementation to explore its chances and limitations of providing affordable personalized anticancer vaccines in the future. Such multidisciplinary advance is timely, as the current COVID-19 crisis is inexorably reflecting the utmost importance of innovative and effective vaccinations in modern times.

description: In the present work, we have done a systematic shell model study of $N=82$ and $N=126$ isotones. For the $N=82$ isotones, we have performed calculations using SN100PN interaction, while for $N=126$ isotones, we have used KHPE interaction. Similarities between these two isotonic chains have been reported, using the strong resemblance between the high-$j$ orbitals. Apart from the nuclear spectroscopic properties, we have also explained different isomeric states in these two regions. In the $N$ =82 region, we have mainly discussed the properties of the $6^+$ and $17/2^+$ isomers, while in the $N=126$ region for $8^+$, $11^-$, $21/2^-$ and $29/2^+$ isomers. We have reported $B(E2)$, $B(E3)$, $g$-factor, and quadrupole moments of the isomeric states for comparison in these two isotonic chains.

description: This paper aims to estimate the technical efficiency measures of wheat-producing farmers in Ethiopia using the stochastic frontier panel model. Data from 3482 farm households collected in two rounds of panels (2011 and 2014) was used to estimate the Translog stochastic frontier production function and factors influencing technical efficiency with a one-step maximum likelihood estimator. The production frontier function involves land, seed, inorganic nitrogen, pesticide, oxen power, and labor. The model showed that more than 95% of the total variation in output was a result of factors within the control of the farmer. The result also indicated that land, seed, nitrogen, and pesticide had significant positive effects on wheat output. Most sustainable agricultural practices and plot characteristics included in the production frontier had positive effects on wheat production. The covariates such as gender and education of the household head, credit access, and livestock holding were important in reducing the inefficiency of the wheat producers. However, land size was found to increase the inefficiency of wheat producers. The mean technical efficiency of 2011 and 2014 was 65.3 and 65.4 which was not significant implying limited technological and institutional progress in the wheat sector between the study time. Results revealed that on average wheat output can be increased by 35 percent without additional inputs. Improved access to direct inputs and identified environmental and socioeconomic factors are important in attaining a higher frontier in wheat production in Ethiopia.

description: In a series of two articles, a novel, robust, and practicable lidar approach is presented that allows us to derive microphysical properties of liquid-water clouds (cloud extinction coefficient, droplet effective radius, liquid-water content, cloud droplet number concentration) at a height of 50–100 m above the cloud base. The temporal resolution of the observations is on the order of 30–120 s. Together with the aerosol information (aerosol extinction coefficients, cloud condensation nucleus concentration) below the cloud layer, obtained with the same lidar, in-depth aerosol–cloud interaction studies can be performed. The theoretical background and the methodology of the new cloud lidar technique is outlined in this article (Part 1), and measurement applications are presented in a companion publication (Part 2) (Jimenez et al., 2020a). The novel cloud retrieval technique is based on lidar observations of the volume linear depolarization ratio at two different receiver fields of view (FOVs). Extensive simulations of lidar returns in the multiple scattering regime were conducted to investigate the capabilities of a dual-FOV polarization lidar to measure cloud properties and to quantify the information content in the measured depolarization features regarding the basic retrieval parameters (cloud extinction coefficient, droplet effective radius). Key simulation results and the overall data analysis scheme developed to obtain the aerosol and cloud products are presented.

description: The extent of clinical applications of oxidative stress-based therapies such as photodynamic therapy (PDT) or respiratory chain disruptors are increasing rapidly, with cold physical plasma (CPP) emerging as a further option. According to the current knowledge, the biological effects of CPP base on reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) relevant in cell signaling. To monitor the safety and the biological impact of the CPP, determining the local generation of RONS in the same environment in which they are going to be applied is desirable. Here, for the first time, the development of an electrochemical sensor for the simple, quick, and parallel determination of plasma-generated reactive species is described. The proposed sensor consists of a toluidine blue redox system that is covalently attached to a gold electrode surface. By recording chronoamperometry at different potentials, it is possible to follow the in-situ production of the main long-lived reactive oxygen and nitrogen species like hydrogen peroxide, nitrite, hypochlorite, and chloramine with time. The applicability of this electrochemical sensor for the in-situ assessment of reactive species in redox-based therapies is demonstrated by the precise analysis of hydrogen peroxide dynamics in the presence of blood cancer cells.

description: A multiwavelength study of galaxies is important to understand their formation and evolution. Only in the recent past, thanks to the Atacama Large (Sub) Millimeter Array (ALMA), were we able to study the far-infrared (IR) properties of galaxies at high redshifts. In this article, we summarize recent research highlights and their significance to our understanding of early galaxy evolution from the ALPINE survey, a large program with ALMA to observe the dust continuum and 158um C+ emission of normal star-forming galaxies at z = 4-6. Combined with ancillary data at UV through near-IR wavelengths, ALPINE provides the currently largest multiwavelength sample of post-reionization galaxies and has advanced our understanding of (i) the demographics of C+ emission; (ii) the relation of star formation and C+ emission; (iii) the gas content; (iv) outflows and enrichment of the intergalactic medium; and (v) the kinematics, emergence of disks, and merger rates in galaxies at z > 4. ALPINE builds the basis for more detailed measurements with the next generation of telescopes, and places itself as an important post-reionization baseline sample to allow a continuous study of galaxies over 13 billion years of cosmic time.

description: In Friz et al. [Precise asymptotics for robust stochastic volatility models. Ann. Appl. Probab, 2021, 31(2), 896–940], we introduce a new methodology to analyze large classes of (classical and rough) stochastic volatility models, with special regard to short-time and small-noise formulae for option prices, using the framework [Bayer et al., A regularity structure for rough volatility. Math. Finance, 2020, 30(3), 782–832]. We investigate here the fine structure of this expansion in large deviations and moderate deviations regimes, together with consequences for implied volatility. We discuss computational aspects relevant for the practical application of these formulas. We specialize such expansions to prototypical rough volatility examples and discuss numerical evidence.

description: Stratospheric aerosol has long been seen as a pure mixture of sulfuric acid and water. Recent measurements, however, found a considerable carbonaceous fraction extending at least 8 km into the stratosphere. This fraction affects the aerosol optical depth (AOD) and the radiative properties, and hence the radiative forcing and climate impact of the stratospheric aerosol. Here we present an investigation based on a decade (2005–2014) of airborne aerosol sampling at 9–12 km altitude in the tropics and the northern hemisphere (NH) aboard the IAGOS-CARIBIC passenger aircraft. We find that the chemical composition of tropospheric aerosol in the tropics differs markedly from that at NH midlatitudes, and, that the carbonaceous stratospheric aerosol is oxygen-poor compared to the tropospheric aerosol. Furthermore, the carbonaceous and sulfurous components of the aerosol in the lowermost stratosphere (LMS) show strong increases in concentration connected with springtime subsidence from overlying stratospheric layers. The LMS concentrations significantly exceed those in the troposphere, thus clearly indicating a stratospheric production of not only the well-established sulfurous aerosol, but also a considerable but less understood carbonaceous component. © 2019, The Author(s).

description: This thesis addresses several questions regarding what rational agents ought to believe and how they ought to act.
 In the first part I begin by discussing how scientists contemplating several mutually exclusive theories, models or hypotheses can reach a rational decision regarding which one to endorse. In response to a recent argument that they cannot, I employ the tools of social choice theory to offer a ‘possibility result’ for rational theory choice. Then I utilize the tools of judgment aggregation to investigate how scientists from across fields can pool their expertise together. I identify an impossibility result threatening such a procedure and prove a possibility result which requires that some scientists sometimes waive their expertise over some propositions.
 In the second part I first discuss the existing justifications for a restricted principle of indifference that mandates that two agents whose experiences are subjectively indistinguishable should be indifferent with respect to their identities. I argue that all existing justifications rely on the same mistaken reasoning behind the ‘staying’ strategy in the Monty Hall problem. Secondly, I show this mistake is more widespread and I identify it in arguments purporting to show the failure of two reflection-like principles.
 In the third part I look at a recent argument that fair policy makers face a dilemma when trying to correct a biased distributive process. I show the dilemma only holds if the correction has to happen in one-shot. Finally, I look at how we ought to design public restrooms so that we reduce the discrimination faced by minority groups. I make the case for opening our public restrooms to all genders.
On Tetrahedralisations of Reduced Chazelle Polyhedra with Interior Steiner Points

description: The non-convex polyhedron constructed by Chazelle, known as the Chazelle polyhedron [4], establishes a quadratic lower bound on the minimum number of convex pieces for the 3d polyhedron partitioning problem. In this paper, we study the problem of tetrahedralising the Chazelle polyhedron without modifying its exterior boundary. It is motivated by a crucial step in tetrahedral mesh generation in which a set of arbitrary constraints (edges or faces) need to be entirely preserved. The goal of this study is to gain more knowledge about the family of 3d indecomposable polyhedra which needs additional points, so-called Steiner points, to be tetrahedralised. The requirement of only using interior Steiner points for the Chazelle polyhedron is extremely challenging. We first “cut off” the volume of the Chazelle polyhedron by removing the regions that are tetrahedralisable. This leads to a 3d non-convex polyhedron whose vertices are all in the two slightly shifted saddle surfaces which are used to construct the Chazelle polyhedron. We call it the reduced Chazelle polyhedron. It is an indecomposable polyhedron. We then give a set of (N + 1)2 interior Steiner points that ensures the existence of a tetrahedralisation of the reduced Chazelle polyhedron with 4(N + 1) vertices. The proof is done by transforming a 3d tetrahedralisation problem into a 2d edge flip problem. In particular, we design an edge splitting and flipping algorithm and prove that it gives to a tetrahedralisation of the reduced Chazelle polyhedron.
Reduction of Quantum Phase Fluctuations Implies Antibunching of Photon

description: A clear physical meaning of the Carruthers-Nieto symmetric quantum phase fluctuation parameter (U) has been provided in Susskind Glogower and Barnett Pegg formalism of quantum phase and it is shown that the reduction of phase fluctuation parameter U with respect to its coherent state value corresponds to an antibunched state. Thus nonclassicality of a state may be manifested through the phase fluctuation parameters. As examples, quantum phase fluctuations in different optical processes, such as four wave mixing, six wave mixing and second harmonic generation have been studied by using Carruthers-Nieto quantum phase fluctuation parameters. The operators required for the calculation of quantum phase fluctuations are expressed in closed analytical forms (up to second order in coupling constant). It is also found that the reduction of phase fluctuations compared to their initial values are possible in all three cases which means nonclassical (antibunched) state exists in all these cases.

description: Interaction of intense laser beam with an inversion symmetric third order nonlinear medium is modeled as a quartic anharmonic oscillator. A first order operator solution of the model Hamiltonian is used to study the possibilities of generation of higher order nonclassical states. It is found that the higher order squeezed and higher order antibunched states can be produced by this interaction. It is also shown that the higher order nonclassical states may appear separately, i.e. a higher order antibunched state is not essentially higher order squeezed state and vice versa.

description: Fluvial deposits can provide excellent archives of early hominin activity but may be complex to interpret, especially without extensive geochronology. The Stone Age site of Kalambo Falls, northern Zambia, has yielded a rich artefact record from dominantly fluvial deposits, but its significance has been restricted by uncertainties over site formation processes and a limited chronology. Our new investigations in the centre of the Kalambo Basin have used luminescence to provide a chronology and have provided key insights into the geomorphological and sedimentological processes involved in site formation. Excavations reveal a complex assemblage of channel and floodplain deposits. Single grain quartz optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) measurements provide the most accurate age estimates for the youngest sediments, but in older deposits the OSL signal from some grains is saturated. A different luminescence signal from quartz, thermally transferred OSL (TT-OSL), can date these older deposits. OSL and TT-OSL results are combined to provide a chronology for the site. Ages indicate four phases of punctuated deposition by the dominantly laterally migrating and vertically aggrading Kalambo River (∼500-300 ka, ∼300-50 ka, ∼50-30 ka, ∼1.5-0.49 ka), followed by deep incision and renewed lateral migration at a lower topographic level. A conceptual model for site formation provides the basis for improved interpretation of the generation, preservation, and visibility of the Kalambo archaeological record. This model highlights the important role of intrinsic meander dynamics in site formation and does not necessarily require complex interpretations that invoke periodic blocking of the Kalambo River, as has previously been suggested. The oldest luminescence ages place the Mode 2/3 transition between ∼500 and 300 ka, consistent with other African and Asian sites where a similar transition can be found. The study approach adopted here can potentially be applied to other fluvial Stone Age sites throughout Africa and beyond.

Sand flies collected during field studies in Adana were dissected for species identification. During the dissection, mite specimens were detected on some sand flies and were examined. Accordingly, three adult females of Eustigmaeus johnstoni (Fig. 1A) were identified on the thorax of the adult female Phlebotomus tobbi during the field study in Adana. The scars caused by E. johnstoni on the lateral side of the abdominal tergites belongs to P. tobbi individual were viewed under a stereo microscope (Fig. 1B).
The morphological features of the specimens from Türkiye are completely similar to those of the known specimens of E. johnstoni. Since the description of the species is well and it has been previously recorded and described in Türkiye, the description has not been repeated here.

description: Biomedical knowledge graphs such as STITCH, SIDER, and Drugbank provide the basis for the discovery of associations between biomedical entities, e.g., interactions between drugs and targets. Link prediction is a paramount task and represents a building block for supporting knowledge discovery. Although several approaches have been proposed for effectively predicting links, the role of semantics has not been studied in depth. In this work, we tackle the problem of discovering interactions between drugs and targets, and propose SimTransE, a machine learning-based approach that solves this problem effectively. SimTransE relies on translating embeddings to model drug-target interactions and values of similarity across them. Grounded on the vectorial representation of drug-target interactions, SimTransE is able to discover novel drug-target interactions. We empirically study SimTransE using state-of-the-art benchmarks and approaches. Experimental results suggest that SimTransE is competitive with the state of the art, representing, thus, an effective alternative for knowledge discovery in the biomedical domain.

description: A method using ion chromatography coupled to high-resolution Orbitrap mass spectrometry was developed to quantify highly-polar organic compounds in aqueous filter extracts of atmospheric particles. In total, 43 compounds, including short-chain carboxylic acids, terpene-derived acids, organosulfates, and inorganic anions were separated within 33 min by a KOH gradient. Ionization by electrospray was maximized by adding 100 µL min−1 isopropanol as post-column solvent and optimizing the ion source settings. Detection limits (S/N ≥ 3) were in the range of 0.075–25 μg L−1 and better than previously reported for 22 compounds. Recoveries of extraction typically range from 85 to 117%. The developed method was applied to three ambient samples, including two arctic flight samples, and one sample from Melpitz, a continental backround research site. A total of 32 different compounds were identified for all samples. From the arctic flight samples, organic tracers could be quantified for the first time with concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 17.8 ng m−3. Due to the minimal sample preparation, the beneficial figures of merit, and the broad range of accessible compounds, including very polar ones, the new method offers advantages over existing ones and enables a detailed analysis of organic marker compounds in atmospheric aerosol particles.

Oreonebria soror

description: Oreonebria (Oreonebria) soror (DANIEL, 1903) stat. nov.
Seit der Beschreibung wurde O. soror stat. nov. als subspezifisches Taxon von O. angustata angesehen (Magistretti 1965, Ledoux & Roux 2005) oder sogar mit O. angustata synonymisiert (Vigna Taglianti 1993). Es sind aber als artspezifisch anzusehende Unterschiede zwischen den beiden Taxa vorhanden, so dass eine Unterordnung des Taxons soror unter O. angustata unangemessen erscheint. Vor allem der Medianlobus des Aedoeagus ist bei beiden Taxa sehr deutlich verschieden, da er bei O. soror stat. nov. nur halb so dick ist wie bei O. angustata (Abb. 2a, 2b). Weiterhin ist nur bei O. soror stat. nov. eine sehr feine, rudimentäre paarweise angeordnete dorsale Beborstung auf den vier basalen Tarsengliedern vorhanden. Besonders stark und gut sichtbar ist dabei meistens die äussere Borste auf dem ersten basalen Tarsenglied. Bei O. angustata fehlt eine solche dorsale Beborstung der Tarsen vollkommen.
Eher graduell verschieden ist die Anzahl der Supraorbitalborsten, die seit der Beschreibung der O. soror stat. nov. als ein vermeintlich entscheidendes Differenzierungsmerkmal angeführt wird. Während O. angustata fast immer zwei Supraorbitalborsten neben jedem Auge besitzt, ist bei O. soror stat. nov. häufig nur eine einzelne vorhanden (für Details, auch die anderen Borstenmerkmale betreffend, siehe den Abschnitt Differenzialdiagnose). Ein weiteres, ebenfalls eher graduelles Merkmal sind die vorderen Borsten im dritten Flügeldeckenintervall, die der O. soror stat. nov. häufig fehlen, nicht aber der O. angustata. Etwas spezifischer erscheint die bislang unerwähnte Zahl der Clypealborsten, von denen O. soro r stat. nov. häufig bis zu vier besitzt (bilateral je ein Paar), während bei O. angustata der Clypeus wie bei den anderen Arten der Gattung Oreonebria DANIEL, 1903 fast immer bilateral unisetos ist.
KÖrperform, Färbung und Pronotumbreite von O. soror stat. nov. und O. angustata sind nicht grundsätzlich verschieden. Zumeist aber besitzt O. soror stat. nov. eine schlankere oder ausgeprägter tropfenfÖrmige Gestalt, eine dunklere Färbung und ein schmaleres Pronotum als O. angustata.
Sicherlich sind die beiden Taxa nahe miteinander verwandt. Die erstgenannten Merkmale allerdings legen nahe, sie besser als getrennte Arten zu führen. Auch die Berücksichtigung einer im Folgenden beschriebenen Unterart der O. soror stat. nov. unterstützt diese Auffassung.

description: Cron is a really useful tool, but if you're not careful, you end up with e-mail few minutes reporting that something was run. If you don't go through every last report examining it line by line, you might miss when something actually breaks.

After years of putting up with it or writing wrapper scripts that silence output unless certain conditions are met, I've created a more generic wrapper that can :

	handle 'highlander' conditions
	kill commands that run too long
	silence output unless a non-zero exit status
	silence output unless something's sent to STDERR
	silence output if it matches acceptable patterns
	highlight lines that aren't in the list of patterns

Note that this code is not yet released. My place of work has a formal 'software release' procedure that I'm still trying to work through
Initiation and development of normal faults within the German alpine foreland basin: The inconspicuous role of basement structures

description: In a large seismic cube within the German Alpine Molasse Basin, we recognize large normal faults with lateral alternating dips that displace the Molasse sediments. They are disconnected but strike parallel to fault lineaments of the underlying carbonate platform. This raises the question how such faults could independently develop. Structural analysis suggests that the faults grew both upward and downward from the middle of the Molasse package, i.e., they newly initiated within the Molasse sediments and were not caused by reactivation of the faults in the carbonate platform and/or crystalline basement. Numerical modeling of the basin proves that temporarily and spatially confined extensional stresses existed within the Molasse sediments but not in the carbonate platform and basement during lithospheric bending. The workflow shown here gives a new and as yet undocumented insight in the tectonic and structural processes within a foreland basin that was affected by buckling and bending in front of the orogen.
A New Approach to the Direct Measurement of Consensual Poverty

description: The direct consensual method of poverty measurement developed by Mack and Lansley (1985) in their study Poor Britain has been one of the most important contributions to modern poverty research. There are nevertheless several problems with Mack and Lansley's methodology, a number of which are discussed in this paper. An alternative method for measuring direct consensual poverty is proposed and it is argued that the method improves on the approach of Mack and Lansley in the following ways: it is less sensitive to the coverage of the initial list of consumption items on which the direct consensual measurement of poverty is based; it avoids some of the arbitrary decisions made by Mack and Lansley; it increases the sensitivity between the measurement of poverty and the preferences revealed by public opinion; and, at the same time, it decreases the sensitivity to particular individuals' preferences. An empirical comparison of Mack and Lansley's original approach and the proposed alternative method is conducted using a Swedish data set from 1992. This shows that both methods, apart from some minor differences, generate a high degree of consistency in the results. One important conclusion is therefore that Mack and Lansley's approach appears to produce robust and reliable results.

Redistribution by the State in Austria
Creators: name: Guger, Alois
Publisher: name: UNSW Sydney
Year: 1996

description: Although the size of the public sector is large in Austria, its redistributive impact from high to low income classes is limited: on the revenue side, indirect taxation is high and, on the expenditure side, the principle of horizontal equity is prevalent. In Austria, income and property taxation is low and only moderately progressive due to a number of tax concessions which lower the tax rate for high incomes substantially. Indirect taxes and social security contributions which have a clearly regressive effect on the distribution make up more than 70 per cent of all public revenues. Thus, the degree of progression of public revenues is only moderate. Public expenditures amount to more than 50 per cent of GDP in Austria. Eligibility and hence the distribution of public expenditures are dominated by the principle of horizontal equity and means testing is of hardly any importance. Consequently, in actual terms most public benefits are received by higher income classes with larger household size. Only unemployment benefits, unemployment assistance and special assistance for single mothers are, in actual terms, distributed to low-income groups to a significant extent. In spite of this, low-income classes receive proportionately more public benefits than high-income groups. Thus, the expenditure side is clearly progressive: the first decile has 50 per cent more income after redistribution than before, the fifth decile loses 10 per cent and the top decile about 25 per cent.

Time Use and Overlapping Activities: Evidence from Australia
Creators: name: Floro, Maria Sagario

Publisher: name: UNSW Sydney
Year: 2001

description: The overlapping of activities is an important dimension of time use that has previously received little attention in economic analysis. Most time use studies have looked only at primary activities, ignoring the fact that individuals often perform two or more activities simultaneously. Using a two-adult household sub-sample from the 1992 National Australian Time Use Survey, this paper examines the incidence and determinants of overlapping activities among 3966 adult male and female household members.
