description: We address the issue of the existence of inequivalent definitions of gravitational mass in $R^{2}$-gravity. We present several definitions of gravitational mass, and discuss the formal relations between them. We then consider the concrete case of a static and spherically symmetric neutron star, and solve numerically the equations of motion for several values of the free parameter of the model. We compare the features of the mass-radius relations obtained for each definition of gravitational mass, and we comment on their dependence on the free parameter. We then argue that $R^{2}$-gravity is a valuable proxy to discuss the existence of inequivalent definitions of gravitational mass in a generic modified gravity theory, and present some comments on the general case.

description: Conference attendance and presentation are ubiquitous practices across international academic, scientific and professional communities. However, their financial costs and implications have been little studied. Through an empirical analysis of a UK educational conference over three years (N=1,261), this paper examines the financial cost elements of fees, travel, accommodation and financial support that are common to international conference delegates. The findings show significant individual expenditures for both domestic and international delegates. When extrapolated to published global researcher populations, these costs indicate a multi-billion expenditure. However, this is balanced against issues of environmental impact that were raised in the study, and a reported climate of ‘lost conference research’ where conference presentations are not developed into accessible published work. The article concludes that in the face of such expenditures and negative impacts, concerted efforts are required to make conference attendance an objectively sustainable educational activity, especially in terms of fiscal and knowledge economies.

Importance: The Medicare Shared Savings Program provides financial incentives for accountable care organizations (ACOs) to reduce costs of care. The structure of the shared savings program may not adequately adjust for challenges associated with caring for patients with high medical complexity and social needs, a population disproportionately made up of racial and ethnic minority groups. If so, ACOs serving racial and ethnic minority groups may be more likely to exit the program, raising concerns about the equitable distribution of potential benefits from health care delivery reform efforts. Objective: To evaluate whether ACOs with a high proportion of beneficaries of racial and ethnic minority groups are more likely to exit the Medicare Shared Savings Program and identify characteristics associated with this disparity. Design, Setting, and Participants: This retrospective observational cohort study used secondary data on Medicare Shared Savings Program ACOs from January 2012 through December 2018. Bivariate and multivariate cross-sectional regression analyses were used to understand whether ACO racial and ethnic composition was associated with program exit, and how ACOs with a high proportion of beneficaries of racial and ethnic minority groups differed in characteristics associated with program exit. Exposures: Racial and ethnic composition of an ACO's beneficiaries. Main Outcomes and Measures: Shared savings program exit before 2018. Results: The study included 589 Medicare Shared Savings Program ACOs. The ACOs in the highest quartile of proportion of beneficaries of racial and ethnic minority groups were designated high-proportion ACOs (145 [25%]), and those in the lowest 3 quartiles were designated low-proportion ACOs (444 [75%]). In unadjusted analysis, a 10-percentage point increase in the proportion of beneficiaries of racial and ethnic minority groups was associated with a 1.12-fold increase in the odds of an ACO exit (95% CI, 1.00-1.25; P = .04). In adjusted analysis, there were significant associations among high-proportion ACOs between characteristics such as patient comorbidities, disability, and clinician composition and a higher likelihood of exit. Conclusions and Relevance: The study results suggest that ACOs that served a higher proportion of beneficaries of racial and ethnic minority groups were more likely to exit the Medicare Shared Savings Program, partially because of serving patients with greater disease severity and complexity. These findings raise concerns about how current payment reform efforts may differentially affect racial and ethnic minority groups.
Deconvolution of autoencoders to learn biological regulatory modules from single cell mRNA sequencing data

description: Background
Unsupervised machine learning methods (deep learning) have shown their usefulness with noisy single cell mRNA-sequencing data (scRNA-seq), where the models generalize well, despite the zero-inflation of the data. A class of neural networks, namely autoencoders, has been useful for denoising of single cell data, imputation of missing values and dimensionality reduction.

Results
Here, we present a striking feature with the potential to greatly increase the usability of autoencoders: With specialized training, the autoencoder is not only able to generalize over the data, but also to tease apart biologically meaningful modules, which we found encoded in the representation layer of the network. Our model can, from scRNA-seq data, delineate biological meaningful modules that govern a dataset, as well as give information as to which modules are active in each single cell. Importantly, most of these modules can be explained by known biological functions, as provided by the Hallmark gene sets.

Conclusions
We discover that tailored training of an autoencoder makes it possible to deconvolute biological modules inherent in the data, without any assumptions. By comparisons with gene signatures of canonical pathways we see that the modules are directly interpretable. The scope of this discovery has important implications, as it makes it possible to outline the drivers behind a given effect of a cell. In comparison with other dimensionality reduction methods, or supervised models for classification, our approach has the benefit of both handling well the zero-inflated nature of scRNA-seq, and validating that the model captures relevant information, by establishing a link between input and decoded data. In perspective, our model in combination with clustering methods is able to provide information about which subtype a given single cell belongs to, as well as which biological functions determine that membership.
Recurrent very-long type-I X-ray bursts in the low-mass X-ray binary 4U 1636-53

description: Two flares with a duration of several hours are reported for the low-mass X-ray binary 4U 1636-53. The characteristics of these flares (i.e., decay time scales, spectral softening, fluences) are very similar to the very long type-I X-ray bursts recently found in several other low-mass X-ray binaries, suggesting that the flares in 4U 1636-53 are also very long type-I X-ray bursts. This would make this source the fifth to exhibit this phenomenon and the first one for which multiple bursts have been found. Interestingly, all five sources accrete at approximately 10% of the Eddington mass accretion rate. Although a chance coincidence or a selection effect cannot be ruled-out at present, this correlation is suggestive and might indicate that only at a narrow range of mass accretion rate such very long type-I X-ray bursts can occur.

description: The use of solar energy is generally considered as one of the most beneficial solutions against non-renewable resources such as coal and oil. Substantial efforts have been made to design, test and synthesize new materials that can transform light energy into thermal, chemical, and electrical energy. Semiconductor materials are widely examined because of their ability to produce photo-generated electrons which can, therefore, be used to produce energy or generate chemical reactions. Therefore, regardless of how solar energy is utilized, the main issue is the light-harvesting capability of the materials, which essentially determines the number of photoinduced carriers. This thesis offers insights into the use of spherical colloidal photonic crystals or otherwise known as photonic beads as light harvesters for environmental applications involving sensors, photocatalysis and photoelectrochemical cells (PEC). The spherical photonic crystal structure can possibly be the cutting-edge material for next-generation light-harvesting devices. The present work offers the development of robust, easy, stable photonic beads generation along with the technical challenges of building the structure under different methods. For the first time, we have demonstrated that the spherical photonic crystal structure offers extra leverage for light trapping as opposed to planar photonic crystals, particularly for fluorescent signal enhancement. Subsequently, the fabrication of inverse spherical photonic crystal structure was demonstrated in order to study the electron-hole pair separation in photocatalysis by effectively trapping light at the photonic band edges. The use of photoelectrochemical systems (PECs) is an attractive option for solar-driven water splitting, which can provide continuous, viable, carbon-free energy by converting direct sunlight into more useable energy. We have also designed and developed PEC cells to collect a full spectrum of solar energy and increase the efficiency of the PEC device by incorporating the photonic crystals, which can effectively enhance light-harvesting capabilities and thereby improving the stability of the device. The objective of this thesis is to analyze the interaction of light-matter in spherical colloidal photonic crystals experimentally and to optimize the structures for use with optical sensors, photocatalysis and wireless photoelectrochemical cells. The finding of this research not only enhance our knowledge for light manipulation in spherical colloidal photonic crystals but also contribute to the development of a new effective platform.

description: The argument of this master's thesis takes its bases on the Moon Mapping international project, which started in early 2015 and ended in 2017, for a total length of three years. The project was a mutual collaboration between Chinese and Italian research teams and undergraduate students from both countries with the aim of producing a new map of the lunar surface. The study area is concentrated in the quadrant with latitude 0°N-60°N and longitude 270°E-300°E of the Near Side of the Moon. NASA's LROC-WAC images have been used as a base map for the thesis, combined with the LOLA DEMs images. The analyses carried out have shown that sinuous rilles are complex structures with a great morphological variety and different interpretations. In the thesis, 210 sinuous rilles were mapped and analyzed according to their area groups and characterized by morphometric parameters such as length, width, depth, sinuosity index, and slope. The work of this thesis can be divided into three phases: the first phase was data collection, identification, and manual mapping of the features; the second phase concerned the measure of the morphometric parameters and the last phase concerned the processing of the collected data.

The Central Mass and Phase-Space Densities of Dark Matter Halos: Cosmological Implications

description: Current data suggest that the central mass densities $ρ_0$ and phase-space densities $Q\equivρ_0/σ_V^3$ of cosmological halos in the present universe are correlated with their velocity dispersions $σ_V$ over a very wide range of $σ_V$ from less than 10 to more than 1000 $\rm km s^{-1}$. Such correlations are an expected consequence of the statistical correlation of the formation epochs of virialized objects in the CDM model with their masses; the smaller-mass halos typically form first and merge to form larger-mass halos later. We have derived the $Q-σ_V$ and $ρ_0-σ_V$ correlations for different CDM cosmologies and compared the predicted correlations with the observed properties of a sample of low-redshift halos ranging in size from dwarf spheroidal galaxies to galaxy clusters. Our predictions are generally consistent with the data, with preference for the currently-favored, flat $Λ$CDM model. Such a comparison serves to test the basic CDM paradigm while constraining the background cosmology and the power-spectrum of primordial density fluctuations, including larger wavenumbers than have previously been constrained.

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The scenario of a single-mode cavity with harmonically modulated frequency is revisited in the presence of strongly detuned qubit or cyclic qutrit. It is found that when the qubit frequency is close to $3ν$ there is a peak in the photon generation rate via four-photon transitions for the modulation frequency $4ν$, where $ν$ is the average cavity frequency. Effective five-photon processes can occur for the modulation frequency $5ν$ in the presence of a cyclic qutrit, and the corresponding transition rates exhibit series of peaks. Closed analytical description is derived for the unitary evolution, and numeric simulations indicate the feasibility of multi-photon dynamical Casimir effect under weak dissipation.

 Notes:— According to Luer (1992), this uncommon species endemic to central Ecuador is closely related to M. octomerioides. However, its yellowish flowers are morphologically similar to those of M. congestus and M. pulvinatus. This species is recognized by its abaxially slightly pubescent yellowish flowers and petals with the margins above the middle thicker, forming a sulcus at the abaxial surface, a feature shown in the illustration of the type and the photo here (Fig. 18B).

description: We describe ISAAC/ESO-VLT observations of the Ha(6563) Balmer line of 33 field galaxies from the Canada-France Redshift Survey (CFRS) with redshifts selected between 0.5 and 1.1. We detect Ha in emission in 30 galaxies and compare the properties of this sample with the low-redshift sample of CFRS galaxies at z~0.2 (Tresse & Maddox 1998). We find that the Ha luminosity, L(Ha), is tightly correlated to M(B(AB)) in the same way for both the low- and high-redshift samples. L(Ha) is also correlated to L([OII]3727), and again the relation appears to be similar at low and high redshifts. The ratio L([OII])/L(Ha) decreases for brighter galaxies by as much as a factor 2 on average. Derived from the Ha luminosity function, the comoving Ha luminosity density increases by a factor 12 from =0.2 to =1.3. Our results confirm a strong rise of the star formation rate (SFR) at z<1.3, proportional to (1+z)^{4.1+/-0.3} (with H_0=50 km/s/Mpc, q_0=0.5). We find an average SFR(2800 Ang)/SFR(Ha) ratio of 3.2 using the Kennicutt (1998) SFR transformations. This corresponds to the dust correction that is required to make the near UV data consistent with the reddening-corrected Ha data within the self-contained, I-selected CFRS sample.

description: Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline materials consisting of metal centers and organic linkers forming open and porous structures. They have been extensively studied due to various possible applications exploiting their large amount of internal surface area. Phonon properties of MOFs are, however, still largely unexplored, despite their relevance for thermal and electrical conductivities, thermal expansion, and mechanical properties. Here, we use quantum-mechanical simulations to provide an in-depth analysis of the phonon properties of isoreticular MOFs. We consider phonon band structures, spatial confinements of modes, projected densities of states, and group velocity distributions. We find that more complex linkers shift the spectral weight of the phonon density of states towards higher frequencies, while increasing the mass of the metal atoms in the nodes has the opposite effect. Due to the high porosity of MOFs, we observe a particularly pronounced polarization dependence of the dispersion of acoustic phonons with rather high group velocities for longitudinal acoustic modes. Interestingly, also for several optical phonon modes group velocities amounting to several thousand m/s are obtained. For heterogeneous systems like MOFs, correlating group velocities and the displacement of modes is particularly relevant. Here we find that high group velocities are generally associated with delocalized vibrations, while the inverse correlation does not necessarily hold. To quantify anharmonicities, we calculate mode Grüneisen parameters, which we find to be significant only for phonons with frequencies below ~3 THz. The presented results provide the foundations for an in-depth understanding of the vibrational properties of MOF, and, thus, pave the way for a future rational design of systems with well-defined phonon properties.

 Type:— COSTA RICA. Cartago: La Estrella, Lankester & Sancho 401 (holotype: AMES!; isotype: AMES!).
 Distribution: — Costa Rica.
 Notes:— This proliferous species was described from Costa Rica in 1923 by Ames and reported by Luer (1992) to occur also in Panama and Ecuador. However, as discussed by Rojas-Alvarado & Karremans (2020), the material from Panama and Ecuador belongs to different species. The Ecuadorian plants are likely to be M. pennellius (see M. penellius notes), whereas those cited for Panama are M. panamense. Myoxanthus scandens is most similar to M. pennellius, but the former is recognized by its sepals with an acute apex vs. obtuse to round, wider petals basally that conspicuously contract into a thickened narrow apex vs. narrowly ovate petals, slightly contracted above the middle, a lip with two longitudinal lamellae above the middle vs. lip with two longitudinal lamellae from the base to near the apex.

description: species contain pathogenic and opportunistic fungal pathogens which have the potential to cause mycosis (invasive aspergillosis) in humans. The existing antifungal drugs have limitation largely due to the development of drug-resistant isolates. To gain insight into the mechanism of action and antifungal drug resistance in Aspergillus species including biofilm formation, we have reviewed protein data of Aspergillus species during interaction with antifungals drugs (polynes, azoles and echinocandin) and phytochemicals (artemisinin, coumarin and quercetin). Our analyses provided a list of Aspergillus proteins (72 proteins) that were abundant during interaction with different antifungal agents. On the other hand, there are 26 proteins, expression level of which is affected by more than two antifungal agents, suggesting the more general response to the stress induced by the antifungal agents. Our analysis showed enzymes from cell wall remodelling, oxidative stress response and energy metabolism are the responsible factors for providing resistance against antifungal drugs in Aspergillus species and could be explored further in clinical isolates. Also, these findings have clinical importance since the effect of drug targeting different proteins can be potentiated by combination therapy. We have also discussed the opportunities ahead to study the functional role of proteins from environmental and clinical isolates of Aspergillus during its interaction with the antifungal drugs.

 Basionym: Pleurothallis serripetala Kraenzlin (1916: 23).
 TYPE:— PERU. Junín: Huanacayo, epiphytic in the valley of Pariahuanca between Panti and Rocchac, 2400‒2600 m, 31 Mar 1913, Weberbauer 6538 (holotype: B, destroyed, lectotype, designated here, the isotype MOL8372).
 Distribution: — Ecuador and Peru.
 Notes:— This is the largest and most distinctive species of Myoxanthus. The flowers are dark red to dark purple with the column yellowish, long sepals (up to 3 cm) densely covered adaxially by circular to subcircular warts. The petals are obovate at the base, abruptly contracted above the middle, forming a narrow, oblong to linear apex. The lip is ovate to trilobate with lateral lobes erect bellow the middle and margins serrate to fimbriate and apex verrucose; it has a subclavate column and fimbriate anther cap. The most similar species is M. oliviae, which is distinguished by brownish to yellowish flowers and sagittate petal apex. Myoxanthus serripetalus is found in the high Andes of Ecuador and Peru, above 2000 m elevation. Because the holotype of Pleurothallis serripetalus was destroyed at B, an isotype preserved at MOL is designated here as lectotype.

Most of these observations were spaced by less than 1 day. \es was detected by the ARGOS USA detector in the range 1-16 keV, and by the PCA in the 2-16 keV range but at different times. During the closely spaced RXTE observations beginning on 2000 July 28, an ending of one flare and a start of another are visible, associated with spectral changes, where the photon index Gamma ranges between ~ 1.4 and 1.7, and the spectrum is harder when the source is brighter. This implies that 1ES1959 is an XBL-type blazar, with the X-ray emission likely to originate via the synchrotron process. The USA observations reveal another flare that peaked on 2000 November 14 and doubled the flux within a few days, again associated with spectral changes of the same form. The spectral variability correlated with the flux and timing characteristics of this object that are similar to those of other nearby BL Lacs, and suggest relativistic beaming with a Doppler factor delta > 1.6 and magnetic fields of the order of a few mG. We also suggest that the steady component of the X-ray emission -- present in this object as well as in other XBLs -- may be due to the large-scale relativistic jet (such as measured by Chandra in many radio-loud AGN), but pointing very closely to our line of sight.

description: We consider a scalar field with a bottom-less potential, such as $g^3 ϕ$, finding that cosmologies unavoidably end up with a crunch, late enough to be compatible with observations if $g \lesssim 1.2 H_0^{2/3} M_{\rm Pl}^{1/3}$. If rebounces avoid singularities, the multiverse acquires new features; in particular probabilities avoid some of the usual ambiguities. If rebounces change the vacuum energy by a small enough amount, this dynamics selects a small vacuum energy and becomes the most likely source of universes with anthropically small cosmological constant. Its probability distribution could avoid the gap by 2 orders of magnitude that seems left by standard anthropic selection.

Role of conserved quantities in Fourier's law for diffusive mechanical systems

description: Energy transport can be influenced by the presence of other conserved quantities. We consider here diffusive systems where energy and the other conserved quantities evolve macroscopically on the same diffusive space-time scale. In these situations the Fourier law depends also from the gradient of the other conserved quantities. The rotor chain is a classical example of such systems, where energy and angular momentum are conserved. We review here some recent mathematical results about diffusive transport of energy and other conserved quantities, in particular for systems where the bulk Hamiltonian dynamics is perturbed by conservative stochastic terms. The presence of the stochastic dynamics allows to define the transport coefficients (thermal conductivity) and in some cases to prove the local equilibrium and the linear response argument necessary to obtain the diffusive equations governing the macroscopic evolution of the conserved quantities. Temperature profiles and other conserved quantities profiles in the non-equilibrium stationary states can be then understood from the non-stationary diffusive behaviour. We also review some results and open problems on the two step approach (by weak coupling or kinetic limits) to the heat equation, starting from mechanical models with only energy conserved.

 Distribution: — Guyana and Venezuela.
 Notes:— This species has been reported from only Guyana and Venezuela. It is caespitose with slender ramicauls and narrow leaves producing successive single flowers. The habit is similar to M. hirsuticaulis and M. merae, but the yellowish to brownish flowers with abaxially shortly pubescent sepals are most similar to M. merae, which is only found in Ecuador and Peru. It is distinguished from M. merae by the wider petals with a more pronounced narrow, thickened apical section, more pronounced and oblique lateral lobes of the lip and a pair of longitudinal calli emerging below the middle of the lip extending to the base.

description: The study examined the effect of Avian Influenza (AI) on the household consumption of poultry products during the first outbreak of the disease in Ogun State, Nigeria. Furthermore, determinants influencing poultry products consumption during the outbreak were identified. A multi-stage sampling procedure was used to select 120 households and a well structured questionnaire was used for data collection. The data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test and regression techniques. Egg consumption reduced significantly dropping from an average of 40 eggs/month to 29 eggs/month (p=0.038) during the AI outbreak. The average chicken expenditure/month dropped significantly from N1116.44 to N991.96 (p=0.019). Awareness of AI, educational level and amount spent on food consumption were the significant factors that contributed to the consumption of poultry products during the AI outbreak. The study therefore recommended that members of the public should be properly sensitized on safety precautions that should be cultivated before the consumption of poultry products especially during outbreaks of diseases.

description: The first results of our ongoing near-infrared (NIR) survey of the variable red giants in the Large Magellanic Cloud, using the Infrared Survey Facility (IRSF) and the SIRIUS infrared camera, are presented. Many very red stars were detected and found that most of them are variables. In the observed colour-magnitude diagram ($J-K, K$) and the stellar $K$ magnitude distribution, the tip of the first giant branch (TRGB), where helium burning in the core starts, is clearly seen. Apart from the genuine AGB variables, we found many variable stars at luminosities around the TRGB. From this result, we infer that a substantial fraction of them are RGB variables.

description: We present new Arecibo 21-cm line measurements of the temperatures of interstellar gas. Our temperatures for the Cold Neutral Medium (CNM) are significantly lower than previous single-dish results and in very good accord with theoretical models. For warm gas at T > 500 K, we find a significant fraction of gas (>47%) to lie in the thermally unstable region 500 ---> 5000 K; moreover, about 60% of all the neutral atomic gas has T > 500 K. Large amounts of thermally unstable gas are not allowed in theoretical models of the global interstellar medium.
