description: To compare the plastome accessions, they must first be brought into the "universal" circular‐sequence representation. Many GenBank entries do not follow this model and therefore require adjustment to ensure that all sequences under comparison share the same orientation and start‐position conventions.

Accession NC_043842.1 starts at the 73rd base of the inverted‐repeat (IR) region. We rotated it with the validate.py script from the NOVOWRAP package so that it conforms to the Nicotiana tabacum reference structure, the widely accepted model. All other sequences were validated against the same model and reverse‐complemented (“flipped”) if necessary. The full set of modified accessions is provided in the archives below:

Rotated genome:

remain_accessions_RC.tar.xz 

To prepare for multiple‐sequence alignment, we reverse‐complemented all SSC regions and removed the downstream copy of the IR. The resulting FASTA files—each containing only one copy of each IR and the SSC in the same orientation—are available here:

Source blending effects on microlensing time-histograms and optical depth determination

description: Source blending in microlensing experiments is known to modify the Einstein time of the observed events. In this paper, we have conducted Monte-Carlo calculations, using the analytical relationships derived by Han (1999) to quantify the effect of blending on the observed event time distribution and optical depth. We show that short-time events are affected significantly by source blending and that, for moderately blended sources, the optical depth $τ$ is globally overestimated, because of an underestimation of the exposure. For high blending situations, on the opposite, blending leads to an {\it under}estimation of the optical depth. Our results are in agreement with the most recent optical depth determinations toward the Galactic Center of the MACHO collaboration (Popowski et al. 2004) and the OGLE-II collaboration (Sumi et al. 2005) that use clump giants (less affected by the blending effect) as sources. The blending-corrected, lower optical depth toward the Galactic Bulge is now in good agreement with the value inferred from galactic models, reconciling theoretical and observational determinations.

description:  We will report on a computer vision (CV) and GUI experiment at Carnegie Mellon University Libraries to incorporate visual similarity search to help archivists and metadata specialists search, de-duplicate, and describe a large institutional photo archive. Rather than trying to replace the archivist by creating an image classifier, we aimed to make a flexible, search-based technological aid that centered the human decision-maker. The main goal of this prototype was to test what combination of system architecture and user interfaces would be most useful for a production-ready CV infrastructure for managing visual digital collections, and begin to think about how it could impact wider workflows for describing, linking, and publishing our collections. After describing the challenges presented by this particular collection and the specific experimental tasks and results we did, we will discuss the immediate implications for archival organization, UI design, and CV research, particularly the need for models fine-tuned to historical, non-born-digital photographs, and the risks of reinforcing systemic racial and gender bias when using pretrained CV models.

description: Background: Hello Sunday Morning (HSM) is an online program that encourages people to commit to a period of non-drinking and blog about their experiences. The purpose of this paper is to explore how HSM members negotiated their periods of abstention, with a focus on how not drinking influenced their narratives of selfhood. Methods: Thematic analysis was undertaken of 2844 blog posts from 154 Victorians who signed up to HSM in 2013 or 2014. Results: Analysis revealed three key narratives of selfhood offered by participants: (1) abstinence resulting in a disrupted sense of self, (2) non-consumption facilitating the development of a new healthy self, and (3) anti-consumption facilitating the development of a resistant self. Conclusion: Individuals construct and maintain their sense of self through consumption (or non-consumption) activities, and this occurs within the broader context of the relationship between selfhood, consumption and culture. HSM members developed narratives of self by drawing on a range of wider discursive structures concerning pleasure, healthism and resistance. The typologies of non-drinking selves identified in this paper could be disseminated through platforms such as HSM to support people who are new to non-drinking in choosing how they might construct and enact alternative selfhoods in contexts where alcohol consumption is deeply embedded.
Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics of Wealth Condensation

description: We analyze wealth condensation for a wide class of stochastic economy models on the basis of the economic analog of thermodynamic potentials, termed transfer potentials. The economy model is based on three common transfers modes of wealth: random transfer, profit proportional to wealth and motivation of poor agents to work harder. The economies never reach steady state. Wealth condensation is the result of stochastic tunneling through a metastable transfer potential. In accordance with reality, both wealth and income distribution transiently show Pareto tails for high income subjects. For metastable transfer potentials, exponential wealth condensation is a robust feature. For example with 10 % annual profit 1% of the population owns 50 % of the wealth after 50 years. The time to reach such a strong wealth condensation is a hyperbolic function of the annual profit rate.

description: This work presents the broad-band time-averaged spectral analysis of neutron star low-mass X-ray binary, XTE J1710-281 by using the Suzaku archival data. The source was in a hard or an intermediate spectral state during this observation. This is the first time that a detailed spectral analysis of the persistent emission spectra of XTE J1710-281 has been done up to 30 keV with improved constraints on its spectral parameters. By simultaneously fitting the XIS (0.6-9.0 keV) and the HXD-PIN (15.0-30.0 keV) data, we have modelled the persistent spectrum of the source with models comprising a soft component from accretion disc and/or neutron star surface/boundary layer and a hard Comptonizing component. The 0.6-30 keV continuum with neutral absorber can be described by a multi-colour disc blackbody with an inner disc temperature of $kT_{\rm disc} = 0.28$ keV, which is significantly Comptonized by the hot electron cloud with electron temperature of $kT_{\rm e} \approx 5$ keV and described by photon index $Γ= 1.86$. A more complex three-component model comprising a multi-colour disc blackbody $\approx 0.30$ keV, single temperature blackbody $\approx 0.65$ keV and Comptonization from the disc, partially absorbed (about 38 per cent) by an ionized absorber (log($ξ$) $\approx$ 4) describes the broad-band spectrum equally well.

description: I investigate what a direct measurement of the longitudinal structure function F_L(x,Q^2) could teach us about the structure of the proton and the best way in which to use perturbative QCD for structure functions. I assume HERA running at a lowered beam energy for approximately 4-5 months and examine how well the measurement could distinguish between different theoretical approaches. I conclude that such a measurement would provide useful information on how to calculate structure functions and parton distributions at small x.

title: The emancipating dwarf : cultural representations of short-statured characters
Creators: name: Sacco, Stephen
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews
Year: 2019

description: Dwarfs and short-statured characters play an essential function in narratives, but they are often overlooked or dismissed. These characters, however, are not only in stories to add whimsy or to ‘spice up’ the atmosphere; they help the story progress. In order to understand the role short-statured characters play, we will first look at tribal rites of passage, as described by Arnold van Gennep (1873-1957) and Victor Turner (1920- 1983), in which scale is often changed and opposites mixed in the liminal period of the rites. The short-statured characters, often, but not at all times, represented as dwarfs, have the effect of bringing the story into a liminal space, and this often liberates the averaged-bodied characters by changing their perspectives. This, however, is not always fair to the dwarf because she is relegated to the margins, and therefore is stuck in the liminal space without the opportunity of assimilation. The dwarf remains a freak. Therefore, we will look at the burgeoning study of ‘freakery’, which has identified many elements associated with ‘freaks’ that are shared with the liminal period, the medieval idea of the monstrous, and the carnival. In the second half of the thesis, is an excerpt from the novel Little Aldo, which takes the theory examined in the academic half and uses it to create a work of fiction. Little Aldo is a dwarf who has become a prominent advisor in American politics, but he comes to a point in his life where he must choose between his career and his true feelings.

description: Low-temperature dynamics of insulating glasses is dominated by a macroscopic concentration of tunneling two-level systems (TTLS). The distribution of the switching/relaxation rates of TTLS is exponentially broad, which results in non-equilibrium state of the glass at arbitrarily long time-scales. Due to the electric dipolar nature, the switching TTLS generate fluctuating electromagnetic fields. We study the effect of the non-thermal slow fluctuators on the dephasing of a solid state qubit. We find that at low enough temperatures, non-stationary contribution can dominate the stationary (thermal) one, and discuss how this effect can be minimized.

description: The dense Galactic environment is a large reservoir of interstellar dust. Therefore, this region represents a perfect laboratory to study the properties of the cosmic dust grains. X-rays are the most direct way to detect the interaction of light with dust present in these dense environments. The interaction between the radiation and the interstellar matter imprints specific absorption features in the X-ray spectrum. We study them with the aim of defining the chemical composition, the crystallinity and structure of the dust grains which populate the inner regions of the Galaxy. We investigate the magnesium and the silicon K-edges detected in the Chandra/HETG spectra of eight bright X-ray binaries, distributed in the neighbourhood of the Galactic centre. We model the two spectral features using accurate extinction cross sections of silicates, that we have measured at the synchrotron facility Soleil, France. Near the Galactic centre magnesium and silicon show abundances similar to the solar ones and they are highly depleted from the gas phase ($δ_{\rm{Mg}}>0.90$ and $δ_{\rm{Si}}>0.96$). We find that amorphous olivine with a composition of $\rm MgFeSiO_{4}$ is the most representative compound along all lines of sight according to our fits. The contribution of Mg-rich silicates and quartz is low (less than $10\%$). On average we observe a percentage of crystalline dust equal to $11\%$. For the extragalactic source LMC X-1, we find a preference for forsterite, a magnesium-rich olivine. Along this line of sight we also observe an underabundance of silicon $A_{\rm Si}/A_{\rm LMC} = 0.5\pm0.2$.

description: We study non-Gaussianity in two distinct models of preheating: instant and tachyonic. In instant preheating non-Gaussianity is sourced by the local terms generated through the coupled perturbations of the two scalar fields. We find that the non-Gaussianity parameter is given by $f_{NL}^ϕ\sim 2g < O(1)$, where $g$ is a coupling constant, so that instant preheating is unlikely to be constrained by WMAP or Planck. In the case of tachyonic preheating non-Gaussianity arises solely from the instability of the tachyon matter and is found to be large. We find that for single field inflation the present WMAP data implies a bound $V_{0}^{1/4}/M_{P}\leq 10^{-4}$ on the scale of tachyonic instability. We argue that the tachyonic preheating limits are useful also for string-motivated inflationary models.

description: Knowledge about the distribution of CO emission in the Milky Way is essential to understand the impact of Galactic environment on the formation and evolution of structures in the interstellar medium. However, currently our insight about the fraction of CO in spiral arm and interarm regions is still limited by large uncertainties in assumed rotation curve models or distance determination techniques. In this work we use a Bayesian approach to obtain the current best assessment of the distribution of 13CO from the Galactic Ring Survey. We performed two different distance estimates that either included or excluded a model for Galactic features. We also include a prior for the solution of the kinematic distance ambiguity that was determined from a compilation of literature distances and an assumed size-linewidth relationship. We find that the fraction of 13CO emission associated with spiral arm features varies from 76% to 84% between the two distance runs. The vertical distribution of the gas is concentrated around the Galactic midplane showing FWHM values of ~75 pc. We do not find any significant difference between gas emission properties associated with spiral arm and interarm features. In particular the distribution of velocity dispersion values of gas emission in spurs and spiral arms is very similar. We detect a trend of higher velocity dispersion values with increasing heliocentric distance, which we attribute to beam averaging effects caused by differences in spatial resolution. We argue that the true distribution of the gas emission is likely more similar to a combination of our two distance results, and highlight the importance of using complementary distance estimations to safeguard against the pitfalls of any single approach. We conclude that the methodology presented in this work is a promising way to determine distances to gas emission features in Galactic plane surveys.

Alteration and infiltration : documenting controls on skarn formation at Mineral Hill, Sechelt, southwestern British Columbia
Creators: name: McConaghy, Katharine R.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The Mineral Hill wollastonite deposit is hosted by a north-west trending calcareous roof pendant enclosed within Late Jurassic plutons of the southwestern Coast Plutonic Complex. The study area consists of calcite marble, other meta-sediments and skarn in contact with a dioritic component of the Crowston Lake Pluton. The area is cross-cut by two Cretaceous-aged dike generations (D2 and D3). Detailed mapping, petrography, petrology and O and C stable isotope analyses has led to the interpretation of a complex infiltration history of the study area. High temperature mineral production (i.e. wollastonite), skarn 18O/16O ratios, and extensive SiO2 metasomatism indicate magmatic volatiles infiltrated and exchanged with the roof pendant during Late Jurassic pluton emplacement creating spatially extensive wollastonite and garnet skarn. Homogeneously depleted marble 18O values near the wollastonite skarn boundary require interaction with a low δ18O fluid (meteoric) at high temperatures. Because very low δ18O values (< 5 permil) for marble are spatially associated with the pluton, and because both D2 and D3 dikes preserve textures that indicate a cold crust at the time of emplacement, a high temperature meteroic fluid must have 18 infiltrated pre- to syn- skarn formation during the Late Jurassic. Finally, low δ18O values preserved in D2 and D3, require at least one low δ18O fluid interaction event either during Cretaceous syn-dike emplacement (D2 and D3, or D3) as a response to thermal activity or during a post-Cretaceous high temperature event. This study also documents the nature and evolution of permeability at the wollastonite skarn/marble boundary within a 450 m by 150-200 m map area. Because syn-metamorphic permeability is destroyed by compaction, I used reaction transport theory to deduce paleo-fluid flow geometry. The distribution of multiple tracers (i.e. SiO2, degraphitization, and 18O/16O) are used in order to distinguish between infiltration sides in which flow is parallel to the alteration boundary and infiltration fronts in which flow is perpendicular to interface geometry. At Mineral Hill, a dominance of infiltration sides and field observations support an irregular and interfingering contact between wollastonite skarn and marble. This geometry may be controlled by reaction infiltration instabilities (RII) at the reaction front which are derived from positive feedback coupling between infiltration and reaction [Ortoleva et al, 1987]. RII requires dissolution at the reaction front which allows fluid to focus into areas of high permeability.

description: An integrated watershed management framework that combines detailed spatial biophysical attributes of land with a hydrologic model and an economic model is developed to study the cost-effective enrollment of land in the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP). Compared with previous related studies that assumed exogenous sediment deposition coefficients related only to site specific characteristics, this research explicitly considers endogenous sediment deposition coefficients, that are determined by landuse decisions made by all land parcels in the run-off path, in determining land rental offers. The modeling framework is applied to one of the eligible watersheds, Court Creek, in Illinois. We find that the optimal targeting of land enrollment is much more cost-effective than a uniform land rental policy.

With other kinds of reductions, we can derive a B type multi-component Gelfand-Dickey hierarchy and a C type multi-component Gelfand-Dickey hierarchy. In our research, the additional flows of the additional symmetries can not all survive. By calculating, we find that the generator of the additional symmetry of the C type multi-component Gelfand-Dickey hierarchy is different from that of the B type multi-component Gelfand-Dickey hierarchy, while the forms of their surviving additional flows are the same.

We show that, in addition to previously known line-soliton solutions, this class also contains a large variety of new multi-soliton solutions, many of which exhibit nontrivial spatial interaction patterns. We also show that, in general, such solutions consist of unequal numbers of incoming and outgoing line solitons. From the asymptotic analysis of the tau-function, we explicitly characterize the incoming and outgoing line-solitons of this class of solutions. We illustrate these results by discussing several examples.

description: We study the Hamiltonian dynamics of a free particle injected onto a chain containing a periodic array of harmonic oscillators in thermal equilibrium. The particle interacts locally with each oscillator, with an interaction that is linear in the oscillator coordinate and independent of the particle's position when it is within a finite interaction range. At long times the particle exhibits diffusive motion, with an ensemble averaged mean-squared displacement that is linear in time. The diffusion constant at high temperatures follows a power law D ~ T^{5/2} for all parameter values studied. At low temperatures particle motion changes to a hopping process in which the particle is bound for considerable periods of time to a single oscillator before it is able to escape and explore the rest of the chain. A different power law, D ~ T^{3/4}, emerges in this limit. A thermal distribution of particles exhibits thermally activated diffusion at low temperatures as a result of classically self-trapped polaronic states.

description: Consider the locus of smooth curves of genus g and p-rank f defined over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p. It is an open problem to classify which group schemes occur as the p-torsion of the Jacobians of these curves for f < g-1. We prove that the generic point of this locus has a-number 1 when f=g-2 and f=g-3. We include other results for curves with p-rank g-2 and g-3. For example, we show that the generic hyperelliptic curve with p-rank g-2 has a-number 1 and that the locus of curves with p-rank g-2 and a-number 2 is non-empty with codimension 3 in M_g. The proofs use degeneration to the boundary of M_g.

description: TRAPPIST-1 is a fantastic nearby (~39.14 light years) planetary system made of at least seven transiting terrestrial-size, terrestrial-mass planets all receiving a moderate amount of irradiation. To date, this is the most observationally favourable system of potentially habitable planets. Since the announcement of the discovery of TRAPPIST-1 planets in 2016, a growing number of techniques and approaches have been used and proposed to reveal its true nature. Here we have compiled a state-of-the-art overview of all the observational and theoretical constraints that have been obtained so far using these techniques and approaches. The goal is to get a better understanding of whether or not TRAPPIST-1 planets can have atmospheres, and if so, what they are made of. For this, we surveyed the literature on TRAPPIST-1 about topics as broad as irradiation environment, orbital architecture, transit observations, density measurements, stellar contamination, and numerical climate and escape models. Each of these topics adds a brick to our understanding of the likely atmospheres of the seven planets. We show that (i) HST transit observations, (ii) density measurements, (iii) atmospheric escape modelling, and (iv) gas accretion modelling altogether offer solid evidence against the presence of H2-dominated atmospheres around TRAPPIST-1 planets. This means they likely have either (i) a high molecular weight atmosphere or (ii) no atmosphere at all. There are several key challenges ahead to characterize the bulk compositions of the atmospheres (if present) of TRAPPIST-1 planets. The main one so far is characterizing and correcting for the effects of stellar contamination. Fortunately, a new wave of observations with the James Webb Space Telescope and near-infrared high-resolution ground-based spectrographs on very large telescopes will bring significant advances in the coming decade.

description: In the United States, state and federal programs, rules, and legislation attempt to address the social, economic, and environmental impacts of food waste. Research on the efficacy of these interventions rely on a variety of grey literature resources. Grey literature is valuable to policy research but may be overlooked because it is not published commercially and is often deemed unauthoritative. This review focuses on the use of grey literature in food waste law and policy scholarship to identify the most used sources and to determine what, if any, archiving strategies authors use. Recommendations for librarians and researchers are discussed.
Crossover from Luttinger liquid to Coulomb blockade regime in carbon nanotubes

description: We develop a theoretical approach to the low-energy properties of 1D electron systems aimed to encompass the mixed features of Luttinger liquid and Coulomb blockade behavior observed in the crossover between the two regimes. For this aim we extend the Luttinger liquid description by incorporating the effects of a discrete single-particle spectrum. The intermediate regime is characterized by a power-law behavior of the conductance, but with an exponent oscillating with the gate voltage, in agreement with recent experimental observations. Our construction also accounts naturally for the existence of a crossover in the zero-bias conductance, mediating between two temperature ranges where the power-law behavior is preserved but with different exponent.

description: Six decades and counting, the formation of hot ~20,000-30,000 K Extreme Horizontal Branch (EHB) stars in Galactic Globular Clusters remains one of the most elusive quests in stellar evolutionary theory. Here we report on two discoveries shattering their currently alleged stable luminosity. The first EHB variability is periodic and cannot be ascribed to binary evolution nor pulsation. Instead, we here attribute it to the presence of magnetic spots: superficial chemical inhomogeneities whose projected rotation induces the variability. The second EHB variability is aperiodic and manifests itself on time-scales of years. In two cases, the six-year light curves display superflare events a mammoth several million times more energetic than solar analogs. We advocate a scenario where the two spectacular EHB variability phenomena are different manifestations of diffuse, dynamo-generated, weak magnetic fields. Ubiquitous magnetic fields, therefore, force an admittance into the intricate matrix governing the formation of all EHBs, and traverse to their Galactic field counterparts. The bigger picture is one where our conclusions bridge similar variability/magnetism phenomena in all radiative-enveloped stars: young main-sequence stars, old EHBs and defunct white dwarfs.

Full-Polarization Observations of OH Masers in Massive Star-Forming Regions: II. Maser Properties and the Interpretation of Polarization

description: We analyze full-polarization VLBA data of ground-state, main-line OH masers in 18 massive star-forming regions previously presented in a companion paper. The OH masers often arise in the shocked neutral gas surrounding ultracompact Hii regions. Magnetic fields as deduced from OH maser Zeeman splitting are highly ordered, both on the scale of a source as well as the maser clustering scale of ~10^15 cm. Results from our large sample show that this clustering scale appears to be universal to these masers. OH masers around ultracompact Hii regions live ~10^4 years and then turn off abruptly, rather than weakening gradually with time. These masers have a wide range of polarization properties. At one extreme (e.g., W75 N), pi-components are detected and the polarization position angles of maser spots show some organization. At the other extreme (e.g., W51 e1/e2), almost no linear polarization is detected and total polarization fractions can be substantially less than unity. A typical source has properties intermediate to these two extremes. In contrast to the well ordered magnetic field inferred from Zeeman splitting, there is generally no clear pattern in the distribution of polarization position angles. This can be explained if Faraday rotation in a typical OH maser source is large on a maser amplification length but small on a single (e-folding) gain length. Increasing or decreasing Faraday rotation by a factor of ~5 among different sources can explain the observed variation in polarization properties. We suggest that almost all pi-components acquire a signficant amount of circular polarization from low-gain stimulated emission of a sigma-component from OH appropriately shifted in velocity and lying along the propagation path.

description: In this contribution we study social network modelling by using human interaction as a basis. To do so, we propose a new set of functions, affinities, designed to capture the nature of the local interactions among each pair of actors in a network. By using these functions, we develop a new community detection algorithm, the Borgia Clustering, where communities naturally arise from the multi-agent interaction in the network. We also discuss the effects of size and scale for communities regarding this case, as well as how we cope with the additional complexity present when big communities arise. Finally, we compare our community detection solution with other representative algorithms, finding favourable results.
