description: Spicules of the so-called type II were suggested to be relevant for coronal heating because of their ubiquity on the solar surface and their eventual extension into the corona. We investigate whether solar spicules are heated to transition-region or coronal temperatures and reach coronal heights (>6 Mm) using multi-wavelength observations of limb spicules in different chromospheric spectral lines (Ca II H, Hepsilon, Halpha, Ca II IR at 854.2 nm, He I at 1083 nm). We determine the line width of individual spicules and throughout the field of view and estimate the maximal height that different types of off-limb features reach. We derive estimates of the kinetic temperature and the non-thermal velocity from the line width of spectral lines from different chemical elements. We find that most regular spicules reach a maximal height of about 6 Mm above the solar limb. The majority of features found at larger heights are irregularly shaped with a significantly larger lateral extension than spicules. Both individual and average line profiles in all spectral lines show a decrease in their line width with height above the limb with very few exceptions. Both the kinetic temperature and the non-thermal velocity decrease with height above the limb. We find no indications that the spicules in our data reach coronal heights or transition-region or coronal temperatures.

description: We give a recipe for computing correlation functions of the displacement operator localized on a spherical or planar higher dimensional twist defect using AdS/CFT. Such twist operators are typically used to construct the $n$'th Renyi entropies of spatial entanglement in CFTs and are holographically dual to black holes with hyperbolic horizons. The displacement operator then tells us how the Renyi entropies change under small shape deformations of the entangling surface. We explicitly construct the bulk to boundary propagator for the displacement operator insertion as a linearized metric fluctuation of the hyperbolic black hole and use this to extract the coefficient of the displacement operator two point function $C_D$ in any dimension. The $n \rightarrow 1$ limit of the twist displacement operator gives the same bulk response as the insertion of a null energy operator in vacuum, which is consistent with recent results on the shape dependence of entanglement entropy and modular energy.

description: Measurements on resistivity and magnetic susceptibility have been carried out for Bi single crystals under pressures up to 10.5GPa. The temperature dependent resistivity shows a semimetallic behavior at ambient and low pressures (below about 1.6GPa). This is followed by an upturn of resistivity in low temperature region when the pressure is increased, which is explained as a semiconductor behavior. This feature gradually gets enhanced up to a pressure of about 2.52GPa. Then a non-monotonic temperature dependent resistivity appears upon further increasing pressure, which is accompanied by a strong suppression to the low temperature resistivity upturn. Simultaneously, a superconducting transition occurs at about 3.92K under a pressure of about 2.63GPa. With further increasing pressure, a second superconducting transition emerges at about 7K under about 2.8GPa. For these two superconducting states, the superconductivity induced magnetic screening volumes are quite large. As the pressure further increased to 8.1GPa, we observe the third superconducting transition at about 8.2K. The resistivity measurements under magnetic field allow us to determine the upper critical fields $μ_0 H_{c2}$ of the superconducting phases. The upper critical field for the phase with $T_c=3.92$K is extremely low. Based on the Werthamer-Helfand-Hohenberg (WHH) theory, the estimated value of $μ_0 H_{c2}$ for this phase is about 0.103T. While the upper critical field for the phase with $T_c$=7K is very high with a value of about 4.56T. Finally, we present a pressure dependent phase diagram of Bi single crystals. Our results reveal the interesting and rich physics in bismuth single crystals under high pressure.

description: Dust trapping accelerates the coagulation of dust particles, and thus it represents an initial step toward the formation of planetesimals. We report $H$-band (1.6 um) linear polarimetric observations and 0.87 mm interferometric continuum observations toward a transitional disk around LkHa 330. As results, a pair of spiral arms were detected in the $H$-band emission and an asymmetric (potentially arm-like) structure was detected in the 0.87 mm continuum emission. We discuss the origin of the spiral arm and the asymmetric structure, and suggest that a massive unseen planet is the most plausible explanation. The possibility of dust trapping and grain growth causing the asymmetric structure was also investigated through the opacity index (beta) by plotting the observed SED slope between 0.87 mm from our SMA observation and 1.3 mm from literature. The results imply that grains are indistinguishable from ISM-like dust in the east side ($beta = 2.0 pm 0.5$), but much smaller in the west side $beta = 0.7^{+0.5}_{-0.4}$, indicating differential dust size distribution between the two sides of the disk. Combining the results of near-infrared and submillimeter observations, we conjecture that the spiral arms exist at the upper surface and an asymmetric structure resides in the disk interior. Future observations at centimeter wavelengths and differential polarization imaging in other bands (Y to K) with extreme AO imagers are required to understand how large dust grains form and to further explore the dust distribution in the disk.

description: Numerous network models have been investigated to gain insights into the origins of fractality. In this work, we introduce two novel network models, to better understand the growing mechanism and structural characteristics of fractal networks. The Repulsion Based Fractal Model (RBFM) is built on the well-known Song-Havlin-Makse (SHM) model, but in RBFM repulsion is always present among a specific group of nodes. The model resolves the contradiction between the SHM model and the Hub Attraction Dynamical Growth model, by showing that repulsion is the characteristic that induces fractality. The Lattice Small-world Transition Model (LSwTM) was motivated by the fact that repulsion directly influences the node distances. Through LSwTM we study the fractal-small-world transition. The model illustrates the transition on a fixed number of nodes and edges using a preferential-attachment-based edge rewiring process. It shows that a small average distance works against fractal scaling, and also demonstrates that fractality is not a dichotomous property, continuous transition can be observed between the pure fractal and non-fractal characteristics.

description: We examine the long-term time evolution (1965-2015) of the relationships between solar wind proton temperature (Tp) and speed (Vp) and between the proton density (np) and speed using OMNI solar wind observations taken near Earth. We find a long-term decrease in the proton temperature-speed (Tp-Vp) slope that lasted from 1972 to 2010, but has been trending upward since 2010. Since the solar wind proton density-speed (np-Vp) relationship is not linear like the Tp-Vp relationship, we perform power law fits for np-Vp. The exponent (steepness in the np-Vp relationship) is correlated with the solar cycle. This exponent has a stronger correlation with current sheet tilt angle than with sunspot number because the sunspot number maxima vary considerably from cycle to cycle and the tilt angle maxima do not. To understand this finding, we examined the average np for different speed ranges, and found that for the slow wind np is highly correlated with the sunspot number with a lag of ~4 years. The fast wind np variation was less, but in phase with the cycle. This phase difference may contribute to the np-Vp exponent correlation with the solar cycle. These long-term trends are important since empirical formulas based on fits to Tp and Vp data are commonly used to identify ICMEs, but these formulas do not include any time dependence. Changes in the solar wind density over a solar cycle will create corresponding changes in the near Earth space environment and the overall extent of the heliosphere.

description: The cost of energy is becoming an increasingly important driver for the operating cost of HPC systems, adding yet another facet to the challenge of producing efficient code. In this paper, we investigate the energy implications of trading computation for locality using Hilbert and Morton space-filling curves with dense matrix-matrix multiplication. The advantage of these curves is that they exhibit an inherent tiling effect without requiring specific architecture tuning. By accessing the matrices in the order determined by the space-filling curves, we can trade computation for locality. The index computation overhead of the Morton curve is found to be balanced against its locality and energy efficiency, while the overhead of the Hilbert curve outweighs its improvements on our test system.

description: New FeSe-based intercalation superconductors, $A_x$(C$_8$H$_{11}$N)$_y$Fe$_{1-z}$Se ($A$ = Li, Na), with $T_\mathrm{c}$ = 39-44 K have been successfully synthesized via the intercalation of alkali metals and 2-phenethylamine into FeSe. The interlayer spacings, namely, the distances between neighboring Fe layers, $d$, of $A_x$(C$_8$H$_{11}$N)$_y$Fe$_{1-z}$Se ($A$ = Li, Na) are 19.04(6) and 18.0(1) Å, respectively. These $d$ values are the largest among those of the FeSe-based intercalation compounds and are understood to be due to the intercalation of two molecules of 2-phenethylamine in series perpendicular to the FeSe layers. It appears that the relationship between $T_\mathrm{c}$ and $d$ in the FeSe-based intercalation superconductors is not domic but $T_\mathrm{c}$ is saturated at ~ 45 K, which is comparable to the $T_\mathrm{c}$ values of single-layer FeSe films, for $d$ $\geq$ 9 Å.

description: Disability of various types and degrees has been an excluding factor in preventing many children from accessing educational opportunities. It also makes it quite difficult to serve the educational needs of all people in the same environmental setting. Many children and adults with disabilities have historically been excluded from mainstream education. This exclusion has not ceased completely, with children struggle, sometimes unsuccessfully, to access educational services. Though, this phenomenon of educational exclusion has existed for long, strides have been made and various programs continue to be put in place to enable persons with disabilities to access educational opportunities. These strides have been motivated by national and international legislative instruments that mandate the inclusion of all people in the educational system irrespective of their diverse social, linguistic and cultural background or level of impairment.

description: In 1922, Kottler put forward the program to remove the gravitational potential, the metric of spacetime, from the fundamental equations in physics as far as possible. He successfully applied this idea to Newton's gravitostatics and to Maxwell's electrodynamics, where Kottler recast the field equations in premetric form and specified a metric-dependent constitutive law. We will discuss the basics of the premetric approach and some of its beautiful consequences, like the division of universal constants into two classes. We show that classical electrodynamics can be developed without a metric quite straightforwardly: the Maxwell equations, together with a local and linear response law for electromagnetic media, admit a consistent premetric formulation. Kottler's program succeeds here without provisos. In Kottler's approach to gravity, making the theory relativistic, two premetric quasi-Maxwellian field equations arise, but their field variables, if interpreted in terms of general relativity, do depend on the metric. However, one can hope to bring the Kottler idea to work by using the teleparallelism equivalent of general relativity, where the gravitational potential, the coframe, can be chosen in a premetric way.

Epidemics can be affected by various perturbations, and may bounce back to its original state, which is considered resilient. Here, we study the resilience of epidemics on networks, by introducing a different infection rate ${λ_{2}}$ during SIS (susceptible-infected-susceptible) epidemic propagation to model perturbations (control state), whereas the infection rate is ${λ_{1}}$ in the rest of time. Through simulations and theoretical analysis, we find that even for ${λ_{2}

We perform a detailed comparison of the full next-to-leading order result to various approximations at the level of differential distributions and also analyse non-standard Higgs self-coupling scenarios. We find that the different next-to-leading order approximations differ from the full result by up to 50 percent in relevant differential distributions. This clearly stresses the importance of the full NLO result.

description: Several important tasks in medical image analysis can be stated in the form of an optimization problem whose feasible solutions are connected subgraphs. Examples include the reconstruction of neural or vascular structures under connectedness constraints. We discuss the minimum cost connected subgraph (MCCS) problem and its approximations from the perspective of medical applications. We propose a) objective-dependent constraints and b) novel constraint generation schemes to solve this optimization problem exactly by means of a branch-and-cut algorithm. These are shown to improve scalability and allow us to solve instances of two medical benchmark datasets to optimality for the first time. This enables us to perform a quantitative comparison between exact and approximative algorithms, where we identify the geodesic tree algorithm as an excellent alternative to exact inference on the examined datasets.

Estimate the radius of the convective core of main-sequence stars from observed oscillation frequencies

Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)

description: The determination of the size of the convective core of main-sequence stars is usually dependent on the construction of models of stars. Here we introduce a method to estimate the radius of the convective core of main-sequence stars with masses between about 1.1 and 1.5 $M_{\odot}$ from observed frequencies of low-degree p-modes. A formula is proposed to achieve the estimation. The values of the radius of the convective core of four known stars are successfully estimated by the formula. The radius of the convective core of KIC 9812850 estimated by the formula is $\mathbf{0.140\pm0.028}$ $R_{\odot}$. In order to confirm this prediction, a grid of evolutionary models were computed. The value of the convective-core radius of the best-fit model of KIC 9812850 is $0.149$ $R_{\odot}$, which is in good agreement with that estimated by the formula from observed frequencies. The formula aids in understanding the interior structure of stars directly from observed frequencies. The understanding is not dependent on the construction of models.

description: Regarding the administrative division, Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H) consists of two entities - the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Republika Srpska and Br?ko District. Since B&H has a highly decentralized governance structure, it is not surprising that eligibility conditions for social assistance differ between Entities, Districts and Cantons. Different concepts are used in different areas (social, health care, pension insurance, employment).

description: We introduce a formalism to couple integrity constraints over general-purpose knowledge bases with actions that can be executed to restore consistency. This formalism generalizes active integrity constraints over databases. In the more general setting of multi-context systems, adding repair suggestions to integrity constraints allows defining simple iterative algorithms to find all possible grounded repairs - repairs for the global system that follow the suggestions given by the actions in the individual rules. We apply our methodology to ontologies, and show that it can express most relevant types of integrity constraints in this domain.

description: The exact number of persons with disabilities in Ghana is still unknown. The statistics indicate that more than 5 million people in Ghana live with disabilities. Ghanaians with disabilities continue to grapple with several barriers in their daily lives irrespective of laws to promote and safeguard their human rights. The disability movement exists to advocate for the inclusion of persons with disabilities in mainstream society as social, architectural, transportation, institutional, and information barriers continue to prevent them from having full access to available resources and opportunities to maximize their potential.

description: Aktuell prognostizieren verschiedene Medien ‚Flüchtlingsströme' erheblichen Ausmaßes von Afrika nach Europa. Auch wenn ein Großteil der Menschen zunächst in Italien ankommen wird, hat es den Anschein, als würde diese die ‚Flüchtlingskrise‘ in Deutschland verschärfen, deren Ursachen es nach Aussagen vieler politischer Akteure zu ‚bekämpfen‘ gilt. Dabei scheint es jedoch weniger um die Beseitigung der organisatorischen Schwierigkeiten und die Behebung der Mängel des Managements zu gehen, durch die die Bundesrepublik und die europäischen Nachbarn die eigentliche, eine ‚Organisations-Krise‘, heraufbeschworen, sondern viel mehr um die Bekämpfung der Tatsache, dass Menschen aus Afrika nach Europa gelangen.

description: Das Studium der Sozialen Arbeit verfügt über eine lange Tradition mit Vorläufern, die bis zur Wende zum 20. Jahrhundert zurückragen. Heute ist die Soziale Arbeit mit Studiengängen oder Studienrichtungen sowohl an Fachhochschulen als auch an Universitäten und Pädagogischen Hochschulen sowie Dualen Hochschulen vertreten. An den verschiedenen Hochschultypen wurden z.T. unterschiedliche Studiengangskonzepte etabliert. Doch wie kam es zu dieser Vielfalt an Institutionen und Ausprägungen? Welche Gründe waren für strukturelle und inhaltliche Entscheidungen ausschlaggebend? Und wie kam die Soziale Arbeit an die heutige Universität Siegen? Der Artikel geht den Ursprüngen und verschiedenen Spuren der Sozialen Arbeit als Ausbildung und Studium nach. Dazu wird die Geschichte der Ausbildung von Beginn ihrer Institutionalisierung bis zur sog. ‚Bologna-Reform‘ nachgezeichnet. Ein besonderer Fokus liegt auf der Idee und der Umsetzung von Studiengängen an Gesamthochschulen und hier speziell auf der heutigen Universität und ehemaligen Gesamthochschule Siegen, an der ein Modell entwickelt worden war, das sich zukunftsweisend für die spätere Bachelor-Master-Reform gezeigt hat.

description: This paper deals with tomographic image reconstruction under the situation where some of projection data bins are contaminated with abnormal data. Such situations occur in various instances of tomography. We propose a new reconstruction algorithm called the Fault-Tolerant reconstruction outlined as follows. The least-squares (L2-norm) error function ||Ax-b||_2^2 used in ordinary iterative reconstructions is sensitive to the existence of abnormal data. The proposed algorithm utilizes the L1-norm error function ||Ax-b||_1^1 instead of the L2-norm, and we develop a row-action-type iterative algorithm using the proximal splitting framework in convex optimization fields. We also propose an improved version of the L1-norm reconstruction called the L1-TV reconstruction, in which a weak Total Variation (TV) penalty is added to the cost function. Simulation results demonstrate that reconstructed images with the L2-norm were severely damaged by the effect of abnormal bins, whereas images with the L1-norm and L1-TV reconstructions were robust to the existence of abnormal bins.

Modulation of Estrogenic Activity in Estrogen Receptor α and β by Flavinoids in Women’s Health Botanicals
Creators: name: Obinna Chidi Mbachu
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago

description: Menopausal women have been choosing natural alternatives over conventional hormone treatments to manage their symptoms, partly due to a reported increase in risk of breast carcinogenesis from hormone therapy that consists of conjugated estrogens and medroxyprogesterone. The popular botanicals-hops, red clover, licorice, and epimedium-are some of the dietary supplements used to alleviate these symptoms, which include hot flashes and night sweats. They contain phytoestrogens-compounds that behave like estrogens-known as flavonoids and isoflavonoids. These activate estrogen receptors (ER) α and β when consumed. ERα activity includes cellular proliferation, while ERβ attenuates this ERα-induced function, thus regulating proliferation. ERβ is also suggested to have a chemoprotective role in vivo. We hypothesized that botanicals containing ERβ-preferential (iso)flavonoids may be able to provide ERβ-related protective benefits by counterbalancing ERα proliferation. In this study, the initial aims included optimizing estrogenic screening assays to identify ERβ-preferential (iso)flavonoids present in select botanicals. Using bioassay-guided fractionation, 8-prenylapigenin (8-PA) was isolated from the tested licorice extract and identified as a potent ERβ-preferential agonist with nanomolar EC50 values. Secondly, a structure activity relationship (SAR) study was conducted to identify (iso)flavonoid structures that favor ERβ-preferential activity. Notable (iso)flavonoids analyzed included 8-prenylnaringenin, 8-prenylapigenin, apigenin, naringenin, genistein, 8-prenylgenistein. Results showed that prenylation on the 8-position of the A-ring of flavonoids increased overall estrogenic activity, and when combined with C2-C3 unsaturation on the C-ring, this resulted in an increase in ERβ potency. In contrast, this same prenylation on isoflavonoids resulted in a decrease in overall estrogenic activity, while the absence of prenylation with C2-C3 unsaturation on the C-ring increased ERβ-preferential potency. Select women’s health botanicals are used for menopausal symptoms, and these induce ERα activity when consumed. However, if they contain ERβ-preferential (iso)flavonoids, these may contribute chemoprotective benefits through ERβ activity that attenuates ERα-induced proliferation, reducing the risk of breast carcinogenesis. These botanicals may offer a beneficial safety profile, while providing potential health benefits.

description: Despite the traditional focus of network science on static networks, most networked systems of scientific interest are characterized by temporal links. By disrupting the paths, link temporality has been shown to frustrate many dynamical processes on networks, from information spreading to accessibility. Considering the ubiquity of temporal networks in nature, we must ask: Are there any advantages of the networks' temporality? Here we develop an analytical framework to explore the control properties of temporal networks, arriving at the counterintuitive conclusion that temporal networks, compared to their static (i.e. aggregated) counterparts, reach controllability faster, demand orders of magnitude less control energy, and the control trajectories, through which the system reaches its final states, are significantly more compact than those characterizing their static counterparts. The combination of analytical, numerical and empirical results demonstrates that temporality ensures a degree of flexibility that would be unattainable in static networks, significantly enhancing our ability to control them.
