description: The more sensitive the observations, the more complex the gas in our Galaxy appears. Since the detection of neutral hydrogen in 1951, each new survey has revealed new structure. Using the GALFA-HI survey, we have discovered five populations of compact neutral hydrogen clouds. We began by developing a machine-vision algorithm to identify compact clouds in the GALFA-HI Data Release 1. Based on position, velocity, and linewidth we separated the 1964 identified clouds into five populations: galaxy candidates, high-velocity clouds, cold low-velocity clouds, warm low-velocity clouds, and warm positive low-velocity clouds in the third Galactic quadrant.
We found that the dust properties of the compact clouds support our population definitions. Using both IRAS and the newly released Planck data, we found no dust detections in the high-velocity clouds, or the warm positive low-velocity clouds in the third Galactic quadrant. We claim that the third quadrant clouds are low-velocity halo clouds. The warm low-velocity clouds have a significantly greater dust-to-gas ratio than the cold low-velocity clouds. We interpret this as evidence that the warm clouds have an ionized component not present with the cold clouds, possibly because they are part of the Galactic fountain.

description: The elastic energy functional of a thin elastic rod or sheet is generalized to the case of an M-dimensional manifold in N-dimensional space. We derive potentials for the stress field and curvatures and find the generalized von Karman equations for a manifold in elastic equilibrium. We perform a scaling analysis of an M-1 dimensional ridge in an M = N-1 dimensional manifold. A ridge of linear size X in a manifold with thickness h << X has a width w ~ h^{1/3}X^{2/3} and a total energy E ~ h^{M} (X/h)^{M-5/3}. We also prove that the total bending energy of the ridge is exactly five times the total stretching energy. These results match those of A. Lobkovsky [Phys. Rev. E 53, 3750 (1996)] for the case of a bent plate in three dimensions.

description: We present \nustar{} observation of the atoll type neutron star (NS) low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) Serpens~X-1 (Ser~X-1) performed on 17 February 2018. We observed Ser~X-1 in a soft X-ray spectral state with 3-79 keV luminosity of $L_\text{X}\sim0.4\times 10^{38}$ erg s$^{-1}$ ($\sim 23\%$ of the Eddington luminosity), assuming a distance of 7.7 kpc. A positive correlation between intensity and hardness ratio suggests that the source was in the banana branch during this observation. The broadband 3-30 keV NuSTAR energy spectrum can be well described either by a three-component continuum model consisting of a disk blackbody, a single temperature blackbody and a power-law or by a two-component continuum model consisting of a disk blackbody and a Comptonization component. A broad iron line $\sim 5-8$ keV and the Compton back-scattering hump peaking at $\sim$10-20 keV band are clearly detected in the X-ray spectrum. These features are best interpreted by a self-consistent relativistic reflection model. Fits with relativistically blurred disc reflection model suggests that the inner disc radius $R_{in}$ is truncated prior to the ISCO at $(1.9-2.5)\;R_{ISCO}$ ($\simeq11.4-15\,R_{g}\: \text{or}\: 26-34$ km) and the accretion disc is viewed at an low inclination of $i\simeq16^\circ-20^\circ$. The disc is likely to be truncated either by a boundary layer or by the magnetosphere. Based on the measured flux and the mass accretion rate, the maximum radial extension for the boundary layer is estimated to be $\sim6.4\:R_{g}$ from the NS surface. The truncated inner disc in association with pressure from a magnetic field sets an upper limit of $B\leq1.9\times10^{9}$ G.

description: In this study, I explored two things: (1) influences on primary school principals and teachers in the Queensland education sector intending to integrate information and communication technologies (ICT) into teaching practice, and (2) influences on primary school teachers’ collaborative work within a community of learners and in classrooms to generate knowledge of multiliterate practices for the teaching of reading. To do this, I used action research and case study methodologies to detail understandings of how the participants in my study integrated ICT and multiliterate reading practices. This investigation used a multi-method approach that incorporated multiple quantitative and qualitative grounded theory techniques to triangulate data. The study had three contexts and phases. In Phase 1, through quantitative and qualitative survey data, I captured a snapshot of influences acting on principals and teachers to integrate ICT in a broad selection of primary school classrooms. This phase used ordinal scales of measurement, descriptive statistics, and Optimal Scaling analysis of the data obtained in the surveys to contextualise the findings of the action research project. In Phases 2 and 3, I investigated how a specific cohort of teachers from schools in one district participated in an action research project to explore the teaching of reading using a multiliteracies approach. I worked as a facilitator and action researcher in this project. Qualitative methods were used predominantly to analyse data. This included abstracting and examining critical incidents from project meeting and presentation transcripts, concept maps, and reflective journals using Fletcher’s (2004, 2008) action theory for change model. This provided a means to examine how the community of learners worked collaboratively to generate knowledge and transform teaching practices using action research cycles. It also allowed me to analyse how teachers’ espoused theories translated into theories-in-use and to identify changes in single-loop to double-loop learning as described by Argyris & Schön (1974).

description: We study a 3-parametric family of stochastic point processes on the one-dimensional lattice originated from a remarkable family of representations of the infinite symmetric group. We prove that the correlation functions of the processes are given by determinantal formulas with a certain kernel. The kernel can be expressed through the Gauss hypergeometric function; we call it the hypergeometric kernel. In a scaling limit our processes approximate the processes describing the decomposition of representations mentioned above into irreducibles. As we showed before, see math.RT/9810015, the correlation functions of these limit processes also have determinantal form with so-called Whittaker kernel. We show that the scaling limit of the hypergeometric kernel is the Whittaker kernel. The integral operator corresponding to the Whittaker kernel is an integrable operator as defined by Its, Izergin, Korepin, and Slavnov. We argue that the hypergeometric kernel can be considered as a kernel defining a `discrete integrable operator'. We also show that the hypergeometric kernel degenerates for certain values of parameters to the Christoffel-Darboux kernel for Meixner orthogonal polynomials. This fact is parallel to the degeneration of the Whittaker kernel to the Christoffel-Darboux kernel for Laguerre polynomials.

description: The limits of flexural wave absorption by open lossy resonators are analytically and numerically reported in this work for both the reflection and transmission problems. An experimental validation for the reflection problem is presented. The reflection and transmission of flexural waves in 1D resonant thin beams are analyzed by means of the transfer matrix method. The hypotheses, on which the analytical model relies, are validated by experimental results. The open lossy resonator, consisting of a finite length beam thinner than the main beam, presents both energy leakage due to the aperture of the resonators to the main beam and inherent losses due to the viscoelastic damping. Wave absorption is found to be limited by the balance between the energy leakage and the inherent losses of the open lossy resonator. The perfect compensation of these two elements is known as the critical coupling condition and can be easily tuned by the geometry of the resonator. On the one hand, the scattering in the reflection problem is represented by the reflection coefficient. A single symmetry of the resonance is used to obtain the critical coupling condition. Therefore the perfect absorption can be obtained in this case. On the other hand, the transmission problem is represented by two eigenvalues of the scattering matrix, representing the symmetric and anti-symmetric parts of the full scattering problem. In the geometry analyzed in this work, only one kind of symmetry can be critically coupled, and therefore, the maximal absorption in the transmission problem is limited to 0.5. The results shown in this work pave the way to the design of resonators for efficient flexural wave absorption.

description: We study type IIA string theories on the pp-waves with 24 supercharges. The type IIA pp-wave backgrounds are derived from the maximally supersymmetric pp-wave solution in eleven dimensions through the toroidal compactification on the spatial isometry directions. The associated actions of type IIA strings are obtained by using these metrics and other background fields of the type IIA supergravities on the one hand. On the other hand, we derive these theories from D=11 supermembrane on the pp-wave via double dimensional reduction for the spatial isometry directions. The resulting actions agree with those of type IIA strings obtained in the study of the supergravities. Also, the action of the matrix string is written down. Moreover, the quantization of closed and open strings is discussed. In particular, we study Dp-branes allowed in one of the type IIA theories.

description: Blocks of greywacke sandstone were dredged from the Colville Knolls, on the margin of the Zealandia continent, in 1989. Re-examination shows them to be quartz-poor feldspathic litharenites similar to those recorded from the basement, rather than sedimentary cover, of the North Island. U-Pb dating of detrital zircons reveals significant age populations at 107, 115, 122, and 245 Ma. These compositions and ages best match those of Waipapa Composite Terrane greywacke basement on nearby Great Barrier Island. As such, an earlier Waipapa correlation is preferred, but Colville Knolls detrital petrography and zircon ages also resemble those from some Early Cretaceous Torlesse Composite Terrane greywackes. Irrespective of terrane correlation, Colville Knolls is a submarine outcrop of Cretaceous greywacke deposited at the toe of the Gondwana Mesozoic accretionary wedge, and likely represents the outer, northeastern margin of Zealandia continental crust.

description: Initialization of composite quantum systems into highly entangled states is usually a must to allow their use for quantum technologies. However, the presence of unavoidable noise in the preparation stage makes the system state mixed, thus limiting the possibility of achieving this goal. Here we address this problem in the context of identical particle systems. We define the entanglement of formation for an arbitrary state of two identical qubits within the operational framework of spatially localized operations and classical communication (sLOCC). We then introduce an entropic measure of spatial indistinguishability under sLOCC as an information resource. We show that spatial indistinguishability, even partial, may shield entanglement from noise, guaranteeing Bell inequality violations. These results prove the fundamental role of particle identity as a control for efficient noise-protected entanglement generation.

description: We investigate several aspects of almost 1-unconditionality. We characterize the metric unconditional approximation property UMAP in terms of ``block unconditionality''. Then we focus on translation invariant subspaces $L^p_E(T)$ and $C_E(T)$ of functions on the circle and express block unconditionality as arithmetical conditions on $E$. Our work shows that the spaces $L^p_E(T)$, $p$ an even integer, have a singular behaviour from the almost isometric point of view: property UMAP does not interpolate between spaces $L^p_E(T)$ and $L^{p+2}_E(T)$. These arithmetical conditions are used to construct counterexamples for several natural questions and to investigate the maximal density of such sets $E$. We also prove that if $E=\{n_k\}_{k\ge1}$ with $|n_{k+1}/n_k|\to\infty$, then $C_E(T)$ has UMAP and we get a sharp estimate of the Sidon constant of Hadamard sets. Finally, we investigate the relationship of metric unconditionality and probability theory.

description: We study physical applications of the Bohm metrics, which are infinite sequences of inhomogeneous Einstein metrics on spheres and products of spheres of dimension 5 <= d <= 9. We prove that all the Bohm metrics on S^3 x S^2 and S^3 x S^3 have negative eigenvalue modes of the Lichnerowicz operator and by numerical methods we establish that Bohm metrics on S^5 have negative eigenvalues too. We argue that all the Bohm metrics will have negative modes. These results imply that higher-dimensional black-hole spacetimes where the Bohm metric replaces the usual round sphere metric are classically unstable. We also show that the stability criterion for Freund-Rubin solutions is the same as for black-hole stability, and hence such solutions using Bohm metrics will also be unstable. We consider possible endpoints of the instabilities, and show that all Einstein-Sasaki manifolds give stable solutions. We show how Wick rotation of Bohm metrics gives spacetimes that provide counterexamples to a strict form of the Cosmic Baldness conjecture, but they are still consistent with the intuition behind the cosmic No-Hair conjectures. We show how the Lorentzian metrics may be created ``from nothing'' in a no-boundary setting. We argue that Lorentzian Bohm metrics are unstable to decay to de Sitter spacetime. We also argue that noncompact versions of the Bohm metrics have infinitely many negative Lichernowicz modes, and we conjecture a general relation between Lichnerowicz eigenvalues and non-uniqueness of the Dirichlet problem for Einstein's equations.

description: We present a machine-readable movement writing for sleight-of-hand moves with cards -- a "Labanotation of card magic." This scheme of movement writing contains 440 categories of motion, and appears to taxonomize all card sleights that have appeared in over 1500 publications. The movement writing is axiomatized in $\mathcal{SROIQ}$(D) Description Logic, and collected formally as an Ontology of Card Sleights, a computational ontology that extends the Basic Formal Ontology and the Information Artifact Ontology. The Ontology of Card Sleights is implemented in OWL DL, a Description Logic fragment of the Web Ontology Language. While ontologies have historically been used to classify at a less granular level, the algorithmic nature of card tricks allows us to transcribe a performer's actions step by step. We conclude by discussing design criteria we have used to ensure the ontology can be accessed and modified with a simple click-and-drag interface. This may allow database searches and performance transcriptions by users with card magic knowledge, but no ontology background.

description: Abstract: The formation of population placement systems in a certain territory depends on many factors, including the natural environment. In fact, it should be noted that the most important place in the settlement of the population is occupied by natural conditions, since the possibilities of using nature have a major impact on the development and stabilization of settlements. Therefore, the issue of the formation of the natural state and the use of natural resources in accordance with the settlement systems of the population is relevant. This article examines some regional features of nature management in Uzbekistan on the example of the Jizzakh region. The interrelation of the settlement placement system with environmental management in various agro-climatic conditions is analyzed.

Keywords: nature management, mountainous and lowland territories, water resources, human settlements, agro-climatic conditions.

description: Thin film solar cells already benefit from significant material and energy savings. By using photon management, the conversion efficiency and the power density can be enhanced further, including a reduction of material costs. In this work, micrometer-sized Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) thin film solar cells were investigated under concentrated white light illumination (1–50×). The cell design is based on industrially standardized, lamellar shaped solar cells with monolithic interconnects (P-scribe). In order to characterize the shunt and serial resistance profiles and their impact on the device performance the cell width was reduced stepwise from 1900 to 200 µm and the P1-scribe thickness was varied between 45 and 320 µm. The results are compared to macroscopic solar cells in standard geometry and dot-shaped microcells with ring contacts. Under concentrated white light, the maximal conversion efficiency could be increased by more than 3.8% absolute for the lamellar microcells and more than 4.8% absolute in case of dot-shaped microcells compared to their initial values at 1 sun illumination. The power density could be raised by a factor of 51 and 70, respectively. But apparently, the optimum concentration level and the improvement in performance strongly depend on the chosen cell geometry, the used contact method and the electrical material properties. It turns out, that the widely used industrial thin film solar cell design pattern cannot simply be adapted to prepare micro-concentrator CIGS solar modules, without significant optimization. Based on the experimental and simulated results, modifications for the cell design are proposed.

description: We prove a claim by Williams that the coassembly map is a homotopy limit map. As an application, we show that the homotopy limit map for the coarse version of equivariant $A$-theory agrees with the coassembly map for bivariant $A$-theory that appears in the statement of the topological Riemann-Roch theorem.

description: Let $M$ be a connected, noncompact, complete Riemannian manifold, consider the operator $L=\DD +\nn V$ for some $V\in C^2(M)$ with $\exp[V]$ integrable w.r.t. the Riemannian volume element. This paper studies the existence of the spectral gap of $L$. As a consequence of the main result, let $\rr$ be the distance function from a point $o$, then the spectral gap exists provided $\lim_{\rr\to\infty}\sup L\rr<0$ while the spectral gap does not exist if $o$ is a pole and $\lim_{\rr\to\infty}\inf L\rr\ge 0.$ Moreover, the elliptic operators on $\mathbb R^d$ are also studied.

description: Lattice paths in the quarter plane have led to a large and varied set of results in recent years. One major project has been the classification of step sets according to the properties of the corresponding generating functions, and this has involved a variety of techniques, some highly intricate and specialised. The famous Kreweras and reverse Kreweras walk models are two particularly interesting models, as they are among the only four cases which have algebraic generating functions. Here we investigate how the properties of the Kreweras and reverse Kreweras models change when boundary interactions are introduced. That is, we associate three real-valued weights $a,b,c$ with visits by the walks to the $x$-axis, the $y$-axis and the origin $(0,0)$ respectively. These models were partially solved in a recent paper by Beaton, Owczarek and Rechnitzer (2019). We apply the algebraic kernel method to completely solve these two models. We find that reverse Kreweras walks have an algebraic generating function for all $a,b,c$, regardless of whether the walks are restricted to end at the origin or on one of the axes, or may end anywhere at all. For Kreweras walks, the generating function for walks returning to the origin is algebraic, but the other cases are only D-finite. To our knowledge this is the first example of a quarter-plane model with this property.

description: A finite subset of the natural numbers is weak-Schreier if $\min S \ge |S|$, strong-Schreier if $\min S>|S|$, and maximal if $\min S = |S|$. Let $M_n$ be the number of weak-Schreier sets with $n$ being the largest element and $(F_n)_{n\geq -1}$ denote the Fibonacci sequence. A finite set is said to be Zeckendorf if it does not contain two consecutive natural numbers. Let $E_n$ be the number of Zeckendorf subsets of $\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$. It is well-known that $E_n = F_{n+2}$. In this paper, we first show four other ways to generate the Fibonacci sequence from counting Schreier sets. For example, let $C_n$ be the number of weak-Schreier subsets of $\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$. Then $C_n = F_{n+2}$. To understand why $C_n = E_n$, we provide a bijective mapping to prove the equality directly. Next, we prove linear recurrence relations among the number of Schreier-Zeckendorf sets. Lastly, we discover the Fibonacci sequence by counting the number of subsets of $\{1,2,\ldots, n\}$ such that two consecutive elements in increasing order always differ by an odd number.

description: We present a comprehensive theoretical study of the electronic structures of the Yb atom and the Yb$_2$ molecule, respectively, focusing on their ground and lowest-lying electronically excited states. Our study includes various state-of-the-art quantum chemistry methods such as CCSD, CCSD(T), CASPT2 (including spin--orbit coupling), and EOM-CCSD as well as some recently developed pCCD-based approaches and their extensions to target excited states. Specifically, we scan the lowest-lying potential energy surfaces of the \ce{Yb2} dimer and provide a reliable benchmark set of spectroscopic parameters including optimal bond lengths, vibrational frequencies, potential energy depths, and adiabatic excitation energies. Our in-depth analysis unravels the complex nature of the electronic spectrum of \ce{Yb2}, which is difficult to model accurately by any conventional quantum chemistry method. Finally, we scrutinize the bi-excited character of the first $^1Σ_g^+$ excited state and its evolution along the potential energy surface.

description: The world is becoming increasingly multipolar, mainly due to the economic and geopolitical rise of a group of emerging countries, particularly China. This international transition bears major consequences for the European Union (EU), which sees its international position becoming increasingly challenged. The EU has started to redefine its foreign policy and reach out to new strategic partners, such as China and Africa, in order to remain a relevant international player. The current transition towards a multipolar world order also presents a challenge for European foreign policy research. So far, the academic literature has only focused marginally on conceptualising the EU’s changing international role. This paper addresses the theoretical gap in the literature on European foreign policy (EFP) and proposes a new analytical framework for the study of the EU in a changing global order. The framework proposed in this paper is centred around the concept of Comprehensive Strategic Partnership (CSP) and presents an attempt to move away from an inward-looking analysis to a conceptual framework that integrates the EU’s strategic partners into the study of European foreign policy. The empirical trend of EU-China-Africa relations serves as the main case study for testing the analytical tool of CSP.

description: The increasing cultivation of energy crops for biofuel production has significantly altered the focus of the traditional agricultural sector. But the impact of biofuel production and use is not merely an agricultural one. Even more importantly, it is an issue, which – by demanding a trade-off provocatively labeled as ‘food vs. fuel’ – likely promotes inequitable conditions and the social conflict of different (basic) needs in north and south. Within this context, the dominant argument criticizes the growing demand for biofuels in the north to compromise food security and sovereignty in the south. It thus remains questionable, whether the production of biofuels can meet its promise of sustainable progress, if the western standard of mobility so offensively confronts the demand for sufficient food in parts of the developing world. In order to address these trade-offs and conflicts, objective of this paper is the introduction of a conceptual framework of socio-environmental services. By expanding the construct of environmental services to explicitly include the social dimension, it shall accommodate for the fact that the provision of environmental services is often embedded in a complex system of global (economic, ecological as well as social) interdependencies. Recently, the concept of payments for environmental services (PES) has received much attention with respect to its potential contribution to both environmental sustainability and the economic alleviation of poverty. By linking the idea of payments for socio-environmental services (PSES) to the three functions of justice (i.e., procedural, distributive, and compensative), its beneficial impact may be more fully tapped. Consequently, the paper shall help to answer the question, how global resources (natural as well as financial) can most efficiently and equitably be allocated, given the constraints imposed by the meta-objective of sustainability – including, e.g., the protection of ecosystems, climate change mitigation, energy security, social justice, or poverty alleviation.

description: Rare de novo heterozygous loss-of-function SETBP1 variants lead to a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by speech deficits, indicating a potential involvement of SETBP1 in human speech. However, the expression pattern of SETBP1 in brain regions associated with vocal learning remains poorly understood, along with the underlying molecular mechanisms linking it to vocal production. In this study, we examined SETBP1 expression in the brain of male zebra finches, a well-established model for studying vocal production learning. We demonstrated that zebra finch SETBP1 exhibits a greater number of exons and isoforms compared to its human counterpart. We characterized a SETBP1 antibody and showed that SETBP1 colocalized with FoxP1, FoxP2, and Parvalbumin in key song nuclei. Moreover, SETBP1 expression in neurons in Area X is significantly higher in zebra finches singing alone, than those singing courtship song to a female, or non-singers. Importantly, we found a distinctive neuronal protein expression of SETBP1 and FoxP2 in Area X only in zebra finches singing alone, but not in the other conditions. We demonstrated SETBP1´s regulatory role on FoxP2 promoter activity in vitro. Taken together, these findings provide compelling evidence for SETBP1 expression in brain regions to be crucial for vocal learning and its modulation by singing behavior.

description: Las políticas sociales latinoamericanas de las últimas décadas recurren a la noción de “equidad” para abordar materias relativas a justicia social, desigualdad e inclusión social. Esta noción tiene multiplicidad de acepciones que responden a diversas teorías sobre justicia y enfoques sobre igualdad en política pública. Este documento indaga en las concepciones y aproximaciones teóricas que sustentan las propuestas realizadas por Consejos Asesores Presidenciales chilenos entre el año 2006 y el 2008, las que sirvieron de base para la formulación de leyes, reformas y políticas sociales, y realiza un análisis crítico respecto de los aspectos ausentes en tales enfoques que podrían dificultar enfrentar la reproducción de la desigualdad social.
