description: The current study was designed to investigate the potentials of using chia (Salvia hispanica) seed as an efficient biosorbent for the biosorption of Pb(II) and Cd(II) from aqueous solution. The batch biosorption process was employed to study the factors involved in the biosorption process, including biosorbent dosage, initial metal concentrations, pH, and contact time. Additionally, the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm (L & F) models were evaluated. Besides, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), x-ray diffractometer (XRD), and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) analyses were used to characterize the biosorbent before and after biosorption. The optimal pH was determined to be 5.0 as this would reduce electrostatic repulsion, while extreme pH levels would hinder the process. It was found that increasing the biosorbent concentration reduced biosorption efficiency due to the constant biosorbent concentration and possible self-aggregation. Moreover, higher initial metal concentrations were found to enhance the biosorption capacity, which would stabilize after 70 min. Furthermore, Freundlich isotherm model demonstrating the best fit for the data. Also, L&F parameters illustrated favorable biosorption of Pb(II) and Cd(II) onto the chia seed. The process was identified as second-order kinetics, suggesting complexation exchange mechanisms. The Freundlich isotherm model indicated multilayer adsorption on heterogeneous surfaces. It was demonstrated that biosorption is spontaneous and endothermic, with increased randomness at the interface, thermodynamically. The mechanism involved ion exchange and surface complexation, as evidenced by the correlation between released cations and metal ion removal. The amounts of removed ions and cations released at various initial concentrations of ions.

description: This paper deals with simulation of flow and transport in porous media such as transport of groundwater contaminants. We first discuss how macro scale equations are derived and which terms have to be closed by models. The transport of tracers is strongly influenced by pore scale velocity structure and large scale inhomogeneities in the permeability field. The velocity structure on the pore scale is investigated by direct numerical simulations of the 3D velocity field in a random sphere pack. The velocity probability density functions are strongly skewed, including some negative velocities. The large probability for very small velocities might be the reason for non-Fickian dispersion in the initial phase of contaminant transport. We present a method to determine large scale distributions of the permeability field from point-wise velocity measurements. The adjoint-based optimisation algorithm delivers fully satisfying agreement between input and estimated permeability fields. Finally numerical methods for convection dominated tracer transports are investigated from a theoretical point of view. It is shown that high order Finite Element Methods can reduce or even eliminate non-physical oscillations in the solution without introducing additional numerical diffusivity.

description: Figure S2. d03517 insertion did not affect olfactory avoidance response. (A) T-maze apparatus used for testing olfactory avoidance response. The apparatus consists of two separate compartments. One compartment is used for fly habituation following their introduction into the apparatus. The second compartment connects to two plastic tubes. One tube is empty, and another tube is filled with benzaldehyde. (B) Olfactory avoidance responses by wild-type and d03517 mutant flies. No significant difference between wild-type and d03517 male flies was observed (Mann-Whitney U test, â nsâ , not significant, P > 0.05). Number of tests per genotype: wt, n = 12; d03517/d03517, n = 7. For each test, 10â 20 flies were examined. Error bars represent SEM. Methods: Prior to the experiments, flies were deprived of food for 3-6 hours. They were then introduced into a T-maze apparatus containing two compartments (Supplementary Fig. S2A). The first compartment is for fly habituation. The second compartment connects to two plastic tubes. One tube is empty. Another tube has a cotton ball containing 1ml of benzaldehyde, a strong fruit fly repellent, at the open end. For each experiment, 10-20 flies were gently introduced into the apparatus. Flies were kept in the first compartment for 90 seconds, and then allowed to move into the second compartment for 120 seconds. Number of flies that moved into benzaldehyde-containing tube or empty tube were counted. Smell index 10.1186/s13041-018-0417-0 was then calculated as follows: Smell index= (Number of flies in empty tube-number of flies in benzaldehyde tube)/(Total number of flies). (PDF 220 kb)

description: We present a detailed analysis of the domain walls in supersymmetric gluodynamics and SQCD. We use the (corrected) Veneziano-Yankielowicz effective Lagrangians to explicitely obtain the wall profiles and check recent results of Dvali and Shifman (Phys. Lett. B396, (1997) 64: (i) the BPS-saturated nature of the walls; (ii) the exact expressions for the wall energy density which depend only on global features of dynamics (the existence of a non-trivial central extension of N=1 superalgebra in the theories which admit wall-like solutions). If supersymmetry is softly broken by the gluino mass, the degeneracy of the distinct vacua is gone, and one can consider the decay rate of the "false" vacuum into the genuine one. We do this calculation in the limit of the small gluino mass. Finally, we comment on the controversy regarding the existence of $N$ distinct chirally asymmetric vacua in SU(N) SUSY gluodynamics.

description: Graphene is known to show a significant photo-thermoelectric effect that can exceed its photovoltaic contribution. Here, by utilizing this effect, we demonstrate a photovoltage measurement of cyclotron resonance in a double-back-gated h-BN/graphene/h-BN two-terminal device. A graphite local bottom gate was fabricated in addition to a p-doped Si global back gate. By tuning the two gate voltages, an in-plane graphene junction having an asymmetric carrier-doping profile was created. With the help of this asymmetric structure, the photo-thermoelectric voltage generated in the vicinity of the metal-electrode/graphene junction was detected. At a low temperature and in the presence of a magnetic field, a photo-induced voltage was measured under the irradiation of an infrared laser (Wavelength= 9.28 to 10.61 micron). We observed a strong enhancement of the photovoltage signal under the cyclotron resonance condition, at which the energy of excitation coincides with a transition between Landau levels. These results highlight the possibility of using the photo-thermoelectric effect in graphene for THz photo-detection.

description: We discuss transversity distributions and Drell-Yan transverse double spin asymmetries. First, the antiquark flavor asymmetry $Δ_{_T} \bar u/Δ_{_T} \bar d$ is discussed by using two different descriptions, a meson-cloud model and a Pauli exclusion model. We find that both calculations produce a significant $Δ_{_T} \bar d$ excess over $Δ_{_T} \bar u$. Next, we study its effects on the transverse spin asymmetry $A_{_{TT}}$ and on the Drell-Yan proton-deuteron asymmetry $Δ_{_T}σ^{pd}/2 Δ_{_T}σ^{pp}$. We find that the ratio $Δ_{_T}σ^{pd}/2 Δ_{_T}σ^{pp}$ is very useful for investigating the flavor asymmetry effect.

description: Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) causes apoptotic deletion of CD4+ CD8+ thymocytes, a phenomenon that has been linked to immune dysfunction and poor survival during sepsis. Given the abundance of thromboxane-prostanoid (TP) receptors in CD4+ CD8+ thymocytes and in vitro evidence that thromboxane A2 (TXA2) causes apoptosis of these cells, we tested whether enhanced generation of TXA2 plays a role in LPS-induced thymocyte apoptosis. Mice injected with 50 μg of LPS intraperitoneally displayed a marked increase in generation of TXA2 and prostaglandin E2 in the thymus as well as apoptotic deletion of CD4+ CD8+ thymocytes. Administration of indomethacin or rofecoxib inhibited prostanoid synthesis but did not affect thymocyte death. In contrast, thymocyte apoptosis in response to LPS was significantly attenuated in TP-deficient mice. These studies indicate that TXA2 mediates a portion of apoptotic thymocyte death caused by LPS. The absence of an effect of global inhibition of prostanoid synthesis suggests a complex role for prostanoids in this model.

description: Figure S3. Male-female courtship behaviours for 15-min period. Wild-type and d03517 mutant male flies showed very similar male-female courtship indices (Mann-Whitney U test, P > 0.05), including one-wing extensions (A), circling frequency (B), latency to courtship (C), and latency to copulation (D). Number of flies tested: wt, n = 20; d03517/ d03517, n = 20. Error bars represent SEM. Methods: To examine male-female courtship behaviours, a CS wild-type virgin female fly was paired with a wild-type or a mutant male fly, and introduced into a rectangular chamber. Their behaviours were recorded for 15 minutes. Unilateral wing extensions and circling numbers were quantified by using the CADABRA automated analysis system. Courtship latency and copulation latency were quantified manually. (PDF 166 kb)

description: The dynamics of attractive bosons trapped in one dimensional anharmonic potentials is investigated. Particular emphasis is put on the variance of the position and momentum many-particle operators. Coupling of the center-of-mass and relative-motion degrees-of-freedom necessitates an accurate numerical treatment. The multiconfigurational time-dependent Hartree for bosons (MCTDHB) method is used, and high convergence of the energy, depletion and occupation numbers, and position and momentum variances is proven numerically. We demonstrate for the ground state and out-of-equilibrium dynamics, for condensed and fragmented condensates, for small systems and {\it en route} to the infinite-particle limit, that intriguing differences between the density and variance of an attractive Bose-Einstein condensate emerge. Implications are briefly discussed.

description: This paper presents a systematic method for exploring the nonlinear dynamics of multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) physical experiments. To illustrate the power of this method, known as control-based continuation (CBC), it is applied to a nonlinear beam structure that exhibits a strong 3:1 modal coupling between its first two bending modes. CBC is able to extract a range of dynamical features, including an isola, directly from the experiment without recourse to model fitting or other indirect data-processing methods. Previously, CBC has only been applied to (essentially) single-degree-of-freedom experiments; in this paper we show that the required feedback-control methods and path-following techniques can equally be applied to MDOF systems. A low-level broadband excitation is initially applied to the experiment to obtain the requisite information for controller design and, subsequently, the physical experiment is treated as a `black box' that is probed using CBC. The invasiveness of the controller used is analysed and experimental results are validated with open-loop measurements. Good agreement between open- and closed-loop results is achieved, though it is found that care needs to be taken in dealing with the presence of higher-harmonics in the force applied to the structure.

description: Neutrinos emitted during stellar core collapse leading to a supernova are primarily of the electron neutrino type at source which may undergo oscillation between flavor eigenstates during propagation to an earth-bound detector. Although the number of neutrinos emitted during the pre-bounce collapse phase is much smaller than that emitted in the post-bounce phase (in which all flavors of neutrinos are emitted), a nearby supernova event may nevertheless register a substantial number of detections from the pre-bounce phase at SuperKamiokande (SK) and the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO). The calorimetric measurement of the supernova neutrino fluence from this stage via the charge current and neutral current detection channels in SNO and the corresponding distortion of detected spectrum in SK over the no-oscillation spectrum, can probe information about neutrino mass difference and mixing which are illustrated here in terms of two- and three-flavor oscillation models.

description: Magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) in the x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) at the L2,3 edges for almost entire series of rare-earth (RE) elements in RE2Fe14B, is studied experimentally and theoretically. By a quantitative comparison of the complicated MCD spectral shapes, we find that (i) the 4f-5d intra-atomic exchange interaction not only induces the spin and orbital polarization of the 5d states, which is vital for the MCD spectra of the electric dipole transition from the 2p core states to the empty 5d conduction band, but also it accompanies a contraction of the radial part of the 5d wave function depending on its spin and orbital state, which results in the enhancement of the 2p-5d dipole matrix element, (ii) there are cases where the spin polarization of the 5d states due to the hybridization with the spin polarized 3d states of surrounding irons plays important roles, and (iii) the electric quadrupole transition from the 2p core states to the magnetic vale! nce 4f states is appreciable at the pre-edge region of the dipole spectrum. Especially, our results evidence that it is important to include the enhancement effect of the dipole matrix element in the correct interpretation of the MCD spectra at the RE L2,3 edges.

description: The electronic structures of a variety of experimentally identified gold and silver nanoclusters from 20 to 246 atoms, either unprotected or protected by several types of ligands, are characterized by using point group specific symmetry analysis. The delocalized electron states around the HOMO-LUMO energy gap, originating from the metal s-electrons in the cluster core, show symmetry characteristics according to the point group that describes best the atomic arrangement of the core. This indicates strong effects of the lattice structure and overall shape of the metal core to the electronic structure, which cannot be captured by the conventional analysis based on identification of spherical angular momentum shells in the superatom model. The symmetry analysis discussed in this paper is free from any restrictions regarding shape or structure of the metal core, and is shown to be superior to the conventional spherical harmonics analysis for any symmetry that is lower than Ih. As an immediate application, we also demonstrate that it is possible to reach considerable savings in computational time by using the symmetry information inside a conventional linear-response calculation for the optical absorption spectrum of the Ag55 cluster anion, without any loss in accuracy of the computed spectrum. Our work demonstrates an efficient way to analyze the electronic structure of non-spherical, but atomically ordered nanocrystals and ligand-protected clusters with nanocrystal metal cores and it can be viewed as the generalization of the superatom model demonstrated for spherical shapes ten years ago (Walter et al., PNAS 2008, 105, 9157).

description: We extend to multidimensional cosmology Vilenkin's prescription of tunnelling from nothing for the quantum origin of the observable Universe. Our model consists of a $D+4$-dimensional spacetime of topology ${\cal R}\times {\cal S}^3 \times{\cal S}^D$, with a scalar field (``chaotic inflaton'') for the matter component. Einstein gravity and Casimir compactification are assumed. The resulting minisuperspace is 3--dimensional. Patchwise we find an approximate analytic solution of the Wheeler--DeWitt equation through which we discuss the tunnelling picture and the probability of nucleation of the classical Universe with compactifying extra dimensions. Our conclusion is that the most likely initial conditions, although they do not lead to the compactification of the internal space, still yield (power-law) inflation for the outer space. The scenario is physically acceptable because the inner space growth is limited to $\sim 10^{11}$ in 100 e-foldings of inflation, starting from the Planck scale.

description: In this work we numerically explore the Newton-Raphson basins of convergence, related to the equilibrium points, in the Sitnikov three-body problem with non-spherical primaries. The evolution of the position of the roots is determined, as a function of the value of the oblateness coefficient. The attracting regions, on several types of two dimensional planes, are revealed by using the classical Newton-Raphson iterative method. We perform a systematic and thorough investigation in an attempt to understand how the oblateness coefficient affects the geometry as well as the overall properties of the convergence regions. The basins of convergence are also related with the required number of iterations and also with the corresponding probability distributions.

description: In this paper free field realizations of affine current superalgebras are considered. Based on quantizing differential operator realizations of the corresponding basic Lie superalgebras, general and simple expressions for both the bosonic and the fermionic currents are provided. Screening currents of the first kind are also presented. Finally, explicit free field realizations of primary fields with general, possibly non-integer, weights are worked out. A formalism is used where the (generally infinite) multiplet is replaced by a generating function primary operator. The results allow setting up integral representations for correlators of primary fields corresponding to integrable representations. The results are generalizations to superalgebras of a recent work on free field realizations of affine current algebras by Petersen, Yu and the present author.

description: We demonstrate for the first time, Raman random lasing in a continuous-wave (CW) excited, completely biocompatible and biodegradable carrot medium. The Stokes Raman mode of carotene renders carrot as a gain medium whereas random scattering in the natural fibrous cellulose of the carrot structure facilitates random lasing. CW laser induced photoluminescence(PL) threshold and linewidth analysis at the Stokes modes of carotene show a characteristic lasing action with threshold of 130 W/cm2 and linewidth-narrowing with mode Q factors (~1300). Polarization study of output modes reveals that lasing mode mostly retains the source polarization state. A clear and interesting linear temperature dependence of emission intensity is also demonstrated. Easy availability, bio-compatibility, excitation dependent emission wavelength selectivity and temperature sensitivity are hallmarks of this elegant Raman laser medium with a strong potential as an optical source for applications in bio-sensing, imaging and spectroscopy.

Shear-induced diffusion in non-local granular flows

description: We investigate the properties of self-diffusion in heterogeneous dense granular flows involving a gradient of stress and inertial number. The study is based on simulated plane shear with gravity and Poiseuille flows, in which non-local effects induce some creep flow in zones where stresses are below the yield. Results show that shear-induced diffusion is qualitatively different in zones above and below the yield. Below the yield, diffusivity is no longer governed by velocity fluctuations, and we evidenced a direct scaling between diffusivity and local shear rate. This is interpreted by analysing the grain trajectories, which exhibit a caging dynamics developing in zones below the yield. We finally introduce an explicit scaling for the profile of local inertial number in these zones, which leads to a straightforward expression of the diffusivity as a function of the stress and position in non-local flows.

description: Figure S1. d03517 insertion did not affect physical capabilities. (A) Locomotor activity for 15-min period. A wild-type male fly was paired with a d03517 mutant male fly. Total travel distance for 15-min period was quantified. No significant difference between wild-type and d03517 male flies was observed (Mann-Whitney U test, “ns”, not significant, P > 0.05). Number of flies tested: wild type, n = 46; d03517/ d03517, 46. Methods: A pair of male flies were introduced into a chamber. Their behaviours were videotaped for 15 minutes. Their movements within 15-minute period were analyzed and quantified using the CADABRA automated analysis system. (B) Climbing test. The percentage of flies that crossed the 10-cm mark after 15-s climbing were quantified. Number of trials: wt, n = 30; d03517/ d03517, n = 30. No significant difference between wild-type and d03517 mutant flies was observed (Mann-Whitney U test, “ns”, not significant, P > 0.05). Error bars represent SEM. Methods: For each trial, 10-12 male flies (5-7 days after eclosion) were transferred into atransparent tube. The flies were allowed to recover for 1 hour. The tube was then tapped three times to force flies down at the bottom of the tube. Their climbing behaviors were videotaped. The percentage of flies that crossed the 10-cm mark after 15 seconds was quantified. The experiment was repeated 3 times for each tube. For each genotype, about 86 to 122 flies were tested.

description: Vacuum multidimensional cosmological models with internal spaces being compact $n$-dimensional Lie group manifolds are considered. Products of 3-spheres and $SU(3)$ manifold (a novelty in cosmology) are studied. It turns out that the dynamical evolution of the internal space drives an accelerated expansion of the external world (power law inflation). This generic solution (attractor in a phase space) is determined by the Lie group space without any fine tuning or arbitrary inflaton potentials. Matter in the four dimensions appears in the form of a number of scalar fields representing anisotropic scale factors for the internal space. Along the attractor solution the volume of the internal space grows logarithmically in time. This simple and natural model should be completed by mechanisms terminating the inflationary evolution and transforming the geometric scalar fields into ordinary particles.

description: We address the question of non-vanishing of $L(1,f)$ where $f$ is an algebraic-valued, periodic arithmetical function. We do this by characterizing algebraic-valued, periodic functions $f$ for which $L(1,f)=0$. The case of odd functions was resolved by Baker, Birch and Wirsing in 1973. We apply a result of Bass to obtain a characterization for the even functions. We also describe a theorem of the first two authors which says that it is enough to consider only the even and the odd functions in order to obtain a complete characterization.
Three-Branes and Five-Branes in N=1 Dual String Pairs

description: In this note we show that in dual N=1 string vacua provided by the heterotic string on an elliptic Calabi-Yau together with a vector bundle respectively F-theory on Calabi-Yau fourfold the number of heterotic fivebranes necessary for anomaly cancellation matches the number of F-theory threebranes necessary for tadpole cancellation. This extends to the general case the work of Friedman, Morgan and Witten, who treated the case of embedding a heterotic $E_8\times E_8$ bundle, leaving no unbroken gauge group, where one has a smooth Weierstrass model on the F-theory side.

Phillips (in Kew Bull. 27: 256. 1972) and Poilecot (in Boissiera 56: 235. 1999) indicated the Burman plate as perhaps the type (i.e. with “?”), which is therefore ineffective. Phillips subsequently formalised this choice, with the additional designation of an epitype.

description: We present a quantitative analysis of recent data on the kinetics of ATP hydrolysis, which has presented a puzzle regarding the load dependence of the Michaelis constant. Within the framework of coarse grained two-state ratchet models, our analysis not only explains the puzzling data, but provides a modified Michaelis law, which could be useful as a guide for future experiments.

description: Recent work by MacDonald et al. has highlighted the valuable work carried out by sky watchers and auroral enthusiasts in obtaining high-quality digital images of rare and unusual auroral structures. A feature of particular interest, which has been nicknamed "Steve", typically takes the form of a short-lived arch, beam, or narrow band of light in the sky. MacDonald et al. have established that the phenomenon is characterised by a range of optically visible low magnetic latitude structures associated with a strong subauroral ion drift. Respecting its nickname, they have dubbed the phenomenon STEVE, an acronym for Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement. Here, we draw attention to earlier observations of similar structures, showing that some previously unidentified atmospheric, meteoric or auroral "anomalies" can now be recognized as examples of "Steve", and therefore as part of a broad spectrum of occasional auroral features that may appear well below the region of magnetic latitudes represented by the traditional auroral oval. This highlights the contributions of "citizen scientists" dating back hundreds of years, and the importance of reassessing historical reports of rare auroral luminosities for a full understanding of the range of solar activity over millennia.

description: The leading diagrammatic two-loop corrections are incorporated into the prediction for the mass of the lightest Higgs boson, $\mh$, in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). The results, containing the complete diagrammatic one-loop corrections, the new two-loop result and refinement terms incorporating leading electroweak two-loop and higher-order QCD contributions, are discussed and compared with results obtained by renormalization group calculations. Good agreement is found in the case of vanishing mixing in the scalar quark sector, while sizable deviations occur if squark mixing is taken into account.
