description: We calculate puncture initial data corresponding to both single and binary black hole solutions of the constraint equations by means of a pseudo-spectral method applied in a single spatial domain. Introducing appropriate coordinates, these methods exhibit rapid convergence of the conformal factor and lead to highly accurate solutions. As an application we investigate small mass ratios of binary black holes and compare these with the corresponding test mass limit that we obtain through a semi-analytical limiting procedure. In particular, we compare the binding energy of puncture data in this limit with that of a test particle in the Schwarzschild spacetime and find that it deviates by 50% from the Schwarzschild result at the innermost stable circular orbit of Schwarzschild, if the ADM mass at each puncture is used to define the local black hole masses.

description: This story is told in the diary of Alexander Mackie. He is not, as far as we know, a relative. We have no idea where the diary came from originally. It came from my late husband and he had got it from his father.

Alexander Mackie went to Germany on a ship on 04/08/1914, the day Britain declared war on Germany. The ship was captured on 05/08/1914. The diary tells that they were towed into the sailing ship harbour. They were working on the ship until 15th October 1914 when they got notice to leave the ship on Friday, 16th October. They were put into a ship which was called 'The Hulk'; there were three of them named 'Sucfred', 'Gennot' and 'Gescher'. There were about eighteen hundred English prisoners, Alexander writes, and there were Chinese, Japanese, Russians, Belgians, Greeks and others. On 6th November 1914 they were taken off 'The Hulk' and none of them knew where they were going. They had to march ashore. They were in the train from twelve o'clock in the forenoon till half past eleven at night and they had no food until the next morning.

It is evident that they had been sent to Ruhleben, Spandau, which is written on the first page of the diary. There is talk in the diary of Christmas Day when one of the German soldiers got very drunk; he gave a speech. They called him The Bishop. They had for their Christmas breakfast a can of coffee and a bun and for dinner a chop and potatoes with a bottle of beer and a cigar and a packet of sweets. All the Jews in the barrack used to get a lot of parcels and the things they got they sold and made a lot of money. Then this was stopped.

25 Jan 1915
In the diary it is noted that Germany lost a cruiser off Heligoland and England had 9 wounded. They celebrated Burns night and had a Scotch concert.

There is much more in the diary about life in the camp, the last entry being 11th April.
Positivity in Lorentzian Barrett-Crane Models of Quantum Gravity

Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: The Barrett-Crane models of Lorentzian quantum gravity are a family of spin foam models based on the Lorentz group. We show that for various choices of edge and face amplitudes, including the Perez-Rovelli normalization, the amplitude for every triangulated closed 4-manifold is a non-negative real number. Roughly speaking, this means that if one sums over triangulations, there is no interference between the different triangulations. We prove non-negativity by transforming the model into a ``dual variables'' formulation in which the amplitude for a given triangulation is expressed as an integral over three copies of hyperbolic space for each tetrahedron. Then we prove that, expressed in this way, the integrand is non-negative. In addition to implying that the amplitude is non-negative, the non-negativity of the integrand is highly significant from the point of view of numerical computations, as it allows statistical methods such as the Metropolis algorithm to be used for efficient computation of expectation values of observables.

description: Accurate and real-time hand gesture recognition is essential for controlling advanced hand prostheses. Surface Electromyography (sEMG) signals obtained from the forearm are widely used for this purpose. Here, we introduce a novel hand gesture representation called Temporal Muscle Activation (TMA) maps which captures information about the activation patterns of muscles in the forearm. Based on these maps, we propose an algorithm that can recognize hand gestures in real-time using a Convolution Neural Network. The algorithm was tested on 8 healthy subjects with sEMG signals acquired from 8 electrodes placed along the circumference of the forearm. The average classification accuracy of the proposed method was 94%, which is comparable to state-of-the-art methods. The average computation time of a prediction was 5.5ms, making the algorithm ideal for the real-time gesture recognition applications.

description: We propose a scheme to unconditionally entangle the internal states of atoms trapped in separate high finesse optical cavities. The scheme uses the technique of quantum reservoir engineering in a cascaded cavity QED setting, and for ideal (lossless) coupling between the cavities generates an entangled pure state. Highly entangled states are also shown to be possible for realizable cavity QED parameters and with nonideal coupling.

description: Single pressure refractive index gas thermometry (SPRIGT) is a novel primary thermometry, jointly developed by TIPC of CAS in China and LNE-Cnam in France. To realize a competitive uncertainty of 0.25 mK for thermodynamic temperature measurements, high-stability and low-uncertainty of microwave resonance frequency measurements better than 2 ppb should be achieved. This article describes how to realize high-stability and low-uncertainty of resonance frequency measurements in a copper microwave cavity by experimental optimization methods based on Allan analysis of variance. In this manner, 10-12 level accuracy and stability of microwave resonance frequency measurements were realized with an integration time of 3 hours, which is nearly 20 times better than those without optimization in our previous work (Sci. Bull 2019; 64: 286-288). It has potential applications in gas metrology and other research fields, where high-stability and low-uncertainty microwave measurements are necessary. Besides, microwave measurements were carried out isobarically at pressures of (30, 60, 90, and 120) kPa over the temperature range of (5 to 26) K, with good microwave mode consistency for the determined thermodynamic temperatures. These will provide strong support for the success of the implementation of SPRIGT in China.

Cloud Identification from All-sky Camera Data with Machine Learning

Subjects: subject: Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics (astro-ph.IM)

description: Most ground-based observatories are equipped with wide-angle all-sky cameras to monitor the night sky conditions. Such camera systems can be used to provide early warning of incoming clouds that can pose a danger to the telescope equipment through precipitation, as well as for sky quality monitoring. We investigate the use of different machine learning approaches for automating the identification of mostly opaque clouds in all-sky camera data as a cloud warning system. In a deep-learning approach, we train a Residual Neural Network (ResNet) on pre-labeled camera images. Our second approach extracts relevant and localized image features from camera images and uses these data to train a gradient-boosted tree-based model (lightGBM). We train both model approaches on a set of roughly 2,000 images taken by the all-sky camera located at Lowell Observatory's Discovery Channel Telescope, in which the presence of clouds has been labeled manually. The ResNet approach reaches an accuracy of 85% in detecting clouds in a given region of an image, but requires a significant amount of computing resources. Our lightGBM approach achieves an accuracy of 95% with a training sample of ~1,000 images and rather modest computing resources. Based on different performance metrics, we recommend the latter feature-based approach for automated cloud detection. Code that was built for this work is available online.

description: Relativistic scalar field theories with a conserved global charge Q possess often (meta)stable spherically symmetric soliton solutions, called Q-balls. We elaborate on the perfect formal analogy which exists between Q-balls, and spherically symmetric solitons in certain non-relativistic atomic Bose-Einstein condensates, for which the dominant interatomic interaction can be tuned attractive. In a harmonic trap, present in existing experiments, the Q-ball solution is modified in an essential way. If the trap is significantly prolongated in one direction, however, then genuine solitons do appear, and actual experimental data can be obtained for some of the Q-ball properties studied numerically in the relativistic cosmological context, such as their formation and collisions. We also suggest conditions under which the same cosmologically relevant analogies could be extended to the fully three-dimensional case.

description: X-band ESR measurements on a single crystal of the highly frustrated SrCu$_2$(BO$_3$)$_2$ system are shown to provide an essential inspection of the magnetic anisotropy present in this compound. The very broad absorption lines seem to be consistent with the largest anisotropy term, namely, the antisymmetric Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya (DM) interaction allowed by symmetry. However, the previously well-accepted model of only interdimer interaction is generalized with additional intradimer DM terms. Moreover, spin-phonon coupling is recognized as the cause on the linewidth broadening with increasing temperature.

Robust Gapless Surface State against Surface Magnetic Impurities on (Bi$_{0.5}$Sb$_{0.5}$)$_2$Te$_3$ Evidenced by In Situ Magnetotransport Measurements

description: Despite extensive experimental and theoretical efforts, the important issue of the effects of surface magnetic impurities on the topological surface state of a topological insulator (TI) remains unresolved. We elucidate the effects of Cr impurities on epitaxial thin films of (Bi$_{0.5}$Sb$_{0.5}$)$_{2}$Te$_{3}$: Cr adatoms are incrementally deposited onto the TI held in ultrahigh vacuum at low temperatures, and \textit{in situ} magnetoconductivity and Hall effect measurements are performed at each increment with electrostatic gating. In the experimentally identified surface transport regime, the measured minimum electron density shows a non-monotonic evolution with the Cr density ($n_{\mathrm{Cr}}$): it first increases and then decreases with $n_{\mathrm{Cr}}$. This unusual behavior is ascribed to the dual roles of the Cr as ionized impurities and electron donors, having competing effects of enhancing and decreasing the electronic inhomogeneities in the surface state at low and high $n_{\mathrm{Cr}}$ respectively. The magnetoconductivity is obtained for different $n_{\mathrm{Cr}}$ on one and the same sample, which yields clear evidence that the weak antilocalization effect persists and the surface state remains gapless up to the highest $n_{\mathrm{Cr}}$, contrary to the expectation that the deposited Cr should break the time reversal symmetry and induce a gap opening at the Dirac point.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: Advanced market economies have been described variously as affluent, technocratic, urban-industrial, post-industrial, and rurban, the latter recognizing the predominance of the suburb. Others refer to the United States as an information society or a service economy. Each of these terms characterizes important dimensions of modern, developed economies. These characteristics and trends and changes in the farm, rural, and total economy have important implications for agricultural research and extension as well as for the economics of public policy. Exploring some of these changes and their implications mainly for farm management extension is the major purpose of this paper. I list major changes occurring in the financial structure of agriculture and attendant cash-flow problems before examining other dimensions of farm structure and their implications for education extension.

description: In a recent discussion by three fellows of the American Agricultural Economics Association it was observed that if the Land-Grant University System were to be created today there would be no extension component. For those involved in the discussion this was not a matter of controversy--it was fact! That is a sobering thought for one who has committed a major share of his professional career to extension education. Is extension an antiquated system? The goal of extension as a public tool for accomplishing technology transfer is not antiquated. That need is greater than ever. If not effectively dealt with there is substantial evidence that the family farm will be in an increasingly difficult competitive position. While the basic goal of extension may not be antiquated, major changes in how extension is organized and conducts its business will be required. The purpose of this paper is to explain the basis for this concern. In the process some of the major strengths, weaknesses, and challenges to extension will be pointed out.

Interaction of traffic intensity and habitat features shape invasion dynamics of an invasive alien species (Ambrosia artemisiifolia) in a regional road network

description: Road corridors are important conduits for plant invasions, and an understanding of the underlying mechanisms is necessary for efficient management of invasive alien species in road networks. Previous studies identified road type with different traffic volumes as a key driver of seed dispersal and abundance of alien plants along roads. However, how the intensity of traffic interacts with the habitat features of roadsides in shaping invasion processes is not sufficiently understood. To elucidate these interactions, we analyzed the population dynamics of common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.), a common non-indigenous annual species in Europe and other continents, in a regional road network in Germany. Over a period of five years, we recorded plant densities at roadsides along four types of road corridors, subject to different intensities of traffic, and with a total length of about 300 km. We also classified roadsides in regard to habitat features (disturbance, shade). This allowed us to determine corridor- and habitat-specific mean population growth rates and spatial-temporal shifts in roadside plant abundances at the regional scale. Our results show that both traffic intensity and roadside habitat features significantly affect the population dynamics of ragweed. The combination of high traffic intensity and high disturbance intensity led to the highest mean population growth whereas population growth in less suitable habitats (e.g. shaded roadsides) declined with decreasing traffic intensity. We conclude that high traffic facilitates ragweed invasion along roads, likely due to continued seed dispersal, and can compensate partly for less suitable habitat features (i.e. shade) that decrease population growth along less trafficked roads. As a practical implication, management efforts to decline ragweed invasions within road networks (e.g. by repeated mowing) should be prioritized along high trafficked roads, and roadside with disturbed, open habitats should be reduced as far as possible, e.g. by establishing grassland from the regional species pool.

description: We show that the doping-controlled superconductor-insulator transition (SIT) in a high critical temperature cuprate system (Bi2Sr2-xLaxCaCu2O8+delta) exhibits a fundamentally different behavior than is expected from conventional SIT. At the critical doping, the sheet resistance seems to diverge in the zero temperature limit. Above the critical doping, the transport is universally scaled by a two-component conductance model. Below, it continuously evolves from weakly to strongly insulating behavior. The two-component conductance model suggests that a collective electronic phase separation mechanism may be responsible for this unconventional SIT behavior.

description: As the infection of 2019-nCoV coronavirus is quickly developing into a global pneumonia epidemic, careful analysis of its transmission and cellular mechanisms is sorely needed. In this report, we re-analyzed the computational approaches and findings presented in two recent manuscripts by Ji et al. (https://doi.org/10.1002/jmv.25682) and by Pradhan et al. (https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.01.30.927871), which concluded that snakes are the intermediate hosts of 2019-nCoV and that the 2019-nCoV spike protein insertions shared a unique similarity to HIV-1. Results from our re-implementation of the analyses, built on larger-scale datasets using state-of-the-art bioinformatics methods and databases, do not support the conclusions proposed by these manuscripts. Based on our analyses and existing data of coronaviruses, we concluded that the intermediate hosts of 2019-nCoV are more likely to be mammals and birds than snakes, and that the "novel insertions" observed in the spike protein are naturally evolved from bat coronaviruses.

description: In this article, we use the monotonic optimization approach to propose an outcome-space outer approximation by copolyblocks for solving strictly quasiconvex multiobjective programming problems and especially in the case that the objective functions are nonlinear fractional. After the algorithm is terminated, with any given tolerance, we obtain an approximation of the weakly efficient solution set, that contains the whole weakly efficient solution set of the problem. The algorithm is proved to be convergent and it is suitable to be implemented in parallel using standard convex programming tools. Some computational experiments are reported to show the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed algorithm.

description: In the inner-most regions of radiation pressure supported accretion disks, the turbulent magnetic pressure may greatly exceed that of the gas. If this is the case, it is possible for bulk Alfvenic motions driven by the magnetorotational instability (MRI) to surpass the electron thermal velocity. Bulk rather than thermal Comptonization may then be the dominant radiative process which mediates gravitational energy release. For sufficiently large turbulent stresses, we show that turbulent Comptonization produces a significant contribution to the far-UV and X-ray emission of black hole accretion disks. The existence of this spectral component provides a means of obtaining direct observational constraints on the nature of the turbulence itself. We describe how this component may affect the spectral energy distributions and variability properties of X-ray binaries and active galactic nuclei.

description: We present the 90 micron luminosity function of the Final Analysis of the European Large Area ISO Survey (ELAIS), extending the sample size of our previous analysis (paper IV) by about a factor of 4. Our sample extends to z=1.1, around 50 times the comoving volume of paper IV, and 10^{7.7} < h^{-2}L/Lsun < 10^{12.5}. From our optical spectroscopy campaigns of the northern ELAIS 90 mircon survey (7.4 deg^2 in total, to S(90um)>70mJy), we obtained redshifts for 61% of the sample (151 redshifts) to B<21 identified at 7 microns, 15 microns, 20cm or with bright (B<18.5) optical identifications. The selection function is well-defined, permitting the construction of the 90 micron luminosity function of the Final Analysis catalogue in the ELAIS northern fields, which is in excellent agreement with our Preliminary Analysis luminosity function in the ELAIS S1 field from paper IV. The luminosity function is also in good agreement with the IRAS-based prediction of Serjeant & Harrison (2004), which if correct requires luminosity evolution of (1+z)^{3.4 +/- 1.0} for consistency with the source counts. This implies an evolution in comoving volume averaged star formation rate at z

description: I will review some results of observational cosmology which critically cast doubt upon the foundations of the standard cosmology: 1) The redshifts of the galaxies are due to the expansion of the Universe; 2) The cosmic microwave background radiation and its anisotropies come from the high energy primordial Universe; 3) The abundance pattern of the light elements is to be explained in terms of the primordial nucleosynthesis; 4) The formation and evolution of galaxies can only be explained in terms of gravitation in the cold dark matter theory of an expanding Universe. The review does not pretend to argue against this standard scenario in favour of an alternative theory, but to claim that cosmology is still a very young science and should leave the door wide open to other positions.

description: We use individual-level monthly data and a difference-in-difference approach to analyze the relationship between changing welfare policies, the employment of single mothers, and living in metropolitan and non-metropolitan areas. We find that welfare reform is playing a major role in raising the employment rates of single mothers and the gains are approximately as high in non-metropolitan areas as in metropolitan areas.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: With any assigned responsibility should come a freedom to decide, to act, to change, to control one's destiny. In the case of appropriate educational programming to serve the proportionally increasing number of small farm clientele, Extension has some challenges. We must face the challenges in ways that fulfill the Extension mission and also control our Extension Service destiny. This paper comments on some of these challenges as well as the demographic, historical, political, social and economic characteristics surrounding them. The institutional realities of limited staff resources, unlimited potential mission and the often unclear perceptions of both private citizens and public officials concerning Extension are recognized.

description: The concept of fluctuation-induced effective interactions is extended to systems driven out of equilibrium. We compute the forces experienced by macroscopic objects immersed in a soft material driven by external shaking sources. We show that, in contrast with equilibrium Casimir forces induced by thermal fluctuations, their sign, range and amplitude depends on specifics of the shaking and can thus be tuned. We also comment upon the dispersion of these shaking-induced forces, and discuss their potential application to phase ordering in soft-materials.

description: A cryogen-free cryostat cooled using a 4 K commercial GM or pulse tube cryocooler (PTC) displays temperature oscillations caused by the intrinsic working principle of the regenerative cryocooler. To dampen such oscillations usually requires either a large heat capacity or a large thermal resistance. To understand this phenomenon better and suppress it more effectively, both the step response characteristic and the intrinsic oscillation characteristic of cryostat have been used to obtain the complete transfer functions of a simulation model. The latter is used to test and optimize traditional PID feedback control. The results showed this approach has almost no effect on the temperature oscillation amplitude. Based on this simulation model, a novel active method was proposed and tested numerically. Simulation results predict the method should suppress the amplitude of the original temperature oscillation by a factor of two.
