(Figs. 8A–F, 9D–E)
Type series. Holotype female, dissected and slide mounted, Vietnam C20, DV 0 9, Ha Giang, Dong Van, Sang Tung, Dragon Cave, small lake - siphon in right arm, 23°12'41.8'' N, 105°14'12.9'' E, 1047 m asl., 04.ii.2010 Tomasin.
Diagnosis. Ocular pigment absent; dorsal shield without colour pattern; integument of dorsal shield with eight very lightly developed areas of radiating lines on inner surface; Cx-IV posterior to IV-L insertion without a longitudinal ridge; genital field with 70–75 pairs of acetabula on well-defined genital plates; III/IV-L-4/5 each with one short swimming seta.
Description. Female (male unknown)—Dorsal and ventral shields present; dorsal shield L 533, W 500, with eight very lightly developed areas of radiating lines on inner surface (two pairs laterally, one pair each anteriorly resp. posteriorly, see Fig. 9D); ventral shield L 569, W 538; tips of Cx-I ending posterior to frontal margin; genital field L 238, W 166, gonopore L/W 125/106, ratio 1.18, genital plates well defined, with 70–75 pairs of acetabula (Fig. 8B); palp (Figs. 8C–D) total L 216–223, L/H, L/H ratio: P-1, 32/31, 1.04; P-2, 60–62/45–46, 1.3–1.4; P-3, 39–40/42–43, 0.91–0.93; P-4, 66–70/34–38, 1.86–1.94; P-5, 19/8, 2.4; L P-2/P-4 ratio 0.88–0.91; palpal segments rotated, distal end of the uncate P-4 with one long, thin seta; gnathosoma vL 115; chelicera total L 112; dL of I–L-4–6 (Fig. 8E): 62, 77, 97; dL of IV–L: 75, 69, 71, 95, 110, 110; III/IV–L-4/5 each with one short swimming seta (Fig. 8F).
Etymology. Named after the country where the new species was detected.
Remarks. In addition to probable adaptations to the subterranean habitat (the absence of ocular pigment and of a colour pattern on the dorsal shield), the new species is characteristic in the presence of an increased number of acetabula located on well-defined acetabular plates, the Cx-IV without lateral ridges posterior to leg insertions, and presence of one short swimming seta on III–IV–L each. This species has no close relatives among recent congeners, but a decision about its eventual taxonomic status above species level can be made only when the presently unknown male of A. vietnamitica is described.
Distribution. Vietnam; only known from the locus typicus.

Creators: name: Pérez Arias  ,  Jacinto
Publisher: name: Roma TrE-Press
Year: 2023

description: Si la función del Derecho es regular, dentro de sus límites, a la sociedad, se hace necesario su avance conforme progresa o se modifican las reglas y conductas sociales. El derecho penal no queda al margen de esto, pues los nuevos avances generan nuevos bienes y valores dignos de protección con la última ratio del Estado (aun su carácter subsidiario y fragmentario), al mismo tiempo que aparecen nuevas formas delictivas que lesionan bienes jurídicos ya protegidos. La cibercriminalidad es uno de estos fenómenos. Su complejidad es evidente, y así lo ponen de manifiesto los problemas que genera para el derecho penal, y cuyo análisis –en sus puntos más esenciales– trataremos de escudriñar en el presente trabajo.

If the function of Law is to regulate, within its limits, society, its progress is necessary as it improves, or as social rules and behaviours are modified. Criminal law is not left out of this, since the new advances generate new goods and values worthy of protection with the extreme legal weapon of the State (especially, because criminal law is only a part of the law), at the same time that new criminal forms appear to damage legal rights already protected. Cybercrime is one of these phenomena. Its complexity is evident, and this is evidenced by the problems it generates for criminal law, whose analysis - in general terms - we will try to scrutinize in this paper.

description: We present a study of the constraining power of low-threshold, high-resolution direct-detection experiments for a biportal simplified dark matter model. In the scenario we consider here, dark matter and Standard Model particles interact through two dark vector mediators $-$ one light and one heavy with respect to the momentum transfer in the experiment. Interference effects at the level of scattering amplitudes can lead to novel marked shape features in the differential recoil spectra, which are best exploited by high-resolution, low-threshold experiments. We identify the region in parameters space for our model where such effects are dominant and show that composite-target experiments with large atomic mass differences are ideal to explore these scenarios. We develop a profile likelihood approach to analyze presently available and future data. Using published results by the CRESST-III experiment and projections of future sensitivities for the COSINUS experiment, we constrain the parameter space in our model, thereby showing the potential of such an analysis on a class of dark matter models which exhibit non-standard features in the recoil spectra.

description: In this paper we study a class of algebras having $n$-dimensional pyramid shaped quiver with $n$-cubic cells, which we called $n$-cubic pyramid algebras. This class of algebras includes the quadratic dual of the basic $n$-Auslander absolutely $n$-complete algebras introduced by Iyama. We show that the projective resolution of the simples of $n$-cubic pyramid algebras can be characterized by $n$-cuboids, and prove that they are periodic. So these algebras are almost Koszul and $(n-1)$-translation algebras. We also recover Iyama's cone construction for $n$-Auslander absolutely $n$-complete algebras using $n$-cubic pyramid algebras and the theory of $n$-translation algebras.

description: This article was first published in the April 2020 issue of CYC-Online and is republished by the SJRCC and CELCIS by permission of the authors and the publishers of CYC-Online. The COVID-19 pandemic is testing our resilience and our ways of living and being together. Being open about the fear this situation has caused is the first step in sorting out how to handle what is happening to us. Those caring for others have a role in holding their fear. This doesn't mean denying the threat is real, but means being honest, sensitive, and transparent with ourselves and others. In this challenging time, children in care need more of us than perhaps we think it is possible to give. They don’t need us to panic or give in to our own sense of overwhelm. They need us to show love and be a source of strength.

description: Three states have mandated the sale of zero emission vehicles (ZEVs) beginning in 1998. In 1992 a research team was formed at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to examine the environmental implications of these mandates during the life of the proposed vehicles. ZEVs are likely to be powered by lead-acid batteries at first, although other battery types or technologies not using toxic metals might be used in the future. The study findings indicated that producing and recycling these batteries would result in significant lead releases to the environment: total emissions 4 to 60 times higher than the emissions of comparable vehicles using leaded gasoline.

description: A striking feature of U.S. data on income and consumption is that inequality increases
with age. This paper asks if individual-specific earnings risk can provide a
coherent explanation. We find that it can. We construct an overlapping generations
general equilibrium model in which households face uninsurable earnings shocks over
the course of their lifetimes. Earnings inequality is exogenous and is calibrated to
match data from the U.S. Panel Study on Income Dynamics. Consumption inequality
is endogenous and matches well data from the U.S. Consumer Expenditure Survey.
The total risk households face is decomposed into that realized before entering the
labor market and that realized throughout the working years. In welfare terms, the
latter is found to be more important than the former.
Proof of linear instability of the Reissner-Nordström Cauchy horizon under scalar perturbations

description: It has long been suggested that solutions to linear scalar wave equation $$\Box_gϕ=0$$ on a fixed subextremal Reissner-Nordström spacetime with non-vanishing charge are generically singular at the Cauchy horizon. We prove that generic smooth and compactly supported initial data on a Cauchy hypersurface indeed give rise to solutions with infinite nondegenerate energy near the Cauchy horizon in the interior of the black hole. In particular, the solution generically does not belong to $W^{1,2}_{loc}$. This instability is related to the celebrated blue shift effect in the interior of the black hole. The problem is motivated by the strong cosmic censorship conjecture and it is expected that for the full nonlinear Einstein-Maxwell system, this instability leads to a singular Cauchy horizon for generic small perturbations of Reissner-Nordström spacetime. Moreover, in addition to the instability result, we also show as a consequence of the proof that Price's law decay is generically sharp along the event horizon.

description: Resulting from the outbreak of COVID-19 and the subsequent lockdown, EPIC (Empowering People in Care) decided to contact all young people’s residential centres in Ireland. Often the young people that live in residential homes are the forgotten children in care, so it was important to reach out to ensure that their issues were being heard. The survey concentrated on the needs of the young people, issues affecting staff, how work practices had changed and what extra supports were needed. The responses were positive on many levels and certainly the voices of the young people and the staff were heard.

description: Huntington’s disease (HD) is a dominantly inherited neurodegenerative disorder resulting from a CAG expansion in the huntingtin (HTT) gene, which leads to the production and accumulation of mutant huntingtin (mHTT). While primarily considered a disorder of the central nervous system, multiple changes have been described to occur throughout the body, including activation of the immune system. In other neurodegenerative disorders, activation of the immune system has been shown to include the production of antibodies against disease-associated pathological proteins. However, the existence of mHTT-targeted antibodies has never been reported. In this study, we assessed the presence and titer of antibodies recognizing HTT/mHTT in patients with HD (n = 66) and age- and gender-matched healthy controls (n = 66) using a combination of Western blotting and ELISA. Together, these analyses revealed that antibodies capable of recognizing HTT/mHTT were detectable in the plasma samples of all participants, including healthy controls. When antibody levels were monitored at different disease stages, it was observed that antibodies against full-length mHTT were highest in patients with severe disease while antibodies against HTTExon1 were elevated in patients with mild disease. Combined, these results suggest that antibodies detecting different forms of mHTT peak at different disease stages.

description: We study the power spectrum of a space-time dependent neural field which describes the average membrane potential of neurons in a single layer. This neural field is modelled by a dissipative integro-differential equation, the so-called Amari equation. By considering a small perturbation with respect to a stationary and uniform configuration of the neural field we derive a linearized equation which is solved for a generic external stimulus by using the Fourier transform into wavevector-freqency domain, finding an analytical formula for the power spectrum of the neural field. In addition, after proving that for large wavelengths the linearized Amari equation is equivalent to a diffusion equation which admits space-time dependent analytical solutions, we take into account the nonlinearity of the Amari equation. We find that for large wavelengths a weak nonlinearity in the Amari equation gives rise to a reaction-diffusion equation which can be formally derived from a neural action functional by introducing a dual neural field. For some initial conditions, we discuss analytical solutions of this reaction-diffusion equation.

Modelling of Cancer Stem Cell Driven Solid Tumors
Creators: Thomas Hillen
Alexandra Shyntar
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2023

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are pluripotent cancer cells, which are less sensitive to treatments, and which can generate new tumors once transplanted into a healthy tissue environment. They have been identified in many cancers and they are the driving force of cancer growth and metastasis. Mathematical modelling of CSCs has contributed to our increased understanding of CSC interactions. Here we will consider CSC feedback mechanisms, treatments with radiation therapy, differentiation promoters, and dedifferentiation inhibitors. In addition, we will consider spatially explicit models. The dominating effect in these models is the tumor growth paradox. It says that a tumor under treatment might grow larger than a similar tumor without treatment. Using geometric singular perturbation methods, we prove mathematically that such a tumor growth paradox can arise. In the spatial context, it leads to a tumor invasion paradox, as we will explain. Many of the models presented here lead to interesting mathematical questions and to the development of new mathematical techniques. We end our chapter with a collection of open problems, which we think, are amenable to further mathematical analysis.

Creators: name: Vanapalli Sindhu
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Objective: A simple, Accurate, precise method was developed for the simultaneous estimation of the Elbasvir and Grazoprevir in pharmaceutical dosage form.
Methods: Chromatogram was run through symmetry C18, 250 x 4.6 mm, 5µm. Mobile phase containing 0.1% Ortho Phosphoric acid: Acetonitrile, (55:45, v/v) was pumped through column at a flow rate of 1 ml/min. Temperature was maintained at Ambient. Optimized wavelength for Elbasvir and Grazoprevir was 260 nm.
Results: Retention time of Elbasvir and Grazoprevir were found to be 3.848 min and 2.313 min. The % purity of Elbasvir and Grazoprevir was found to be 100.4 % and 100.2 % respectively. The system suitability parameters for Elbasvir and Grazoprevir such as theoretical plates and tailing factor were found to be 3568.30 and 4836.12. The linearity study for Elbasvir and Grazoprevir was found in concentration range of 12.5 μg-75 μg and 25 μg-150 μg and correlation coefficient (r2) was found to be 0.999 and 0.999, % mean recovery was found to be 100.19 % and 100.84 %, %RSD for repeatability was 0.75 and 0.36 %. The precision study was precise, robust and repeatable. LOD value was 0.082 and 0.357, and LOQ value was 1.05 and 0.23 respectively
Conclusion: The results of study showed that the proposed RP‐HPLC method is a simple, accurate, precise, rugged, robust, fast and reproducible, which may be useful for the routine estimation of Elbasvir and Grazoprevir in pharmaceutical dosage form.

description: In the past as well as present wireless communication systems, the wireless propagation environment is regarded as an uncontrollable black box that impairs the received signal quality, and its negative impacts are compensated for by relying on the design of various sophisticated transmission/reception schemes. However, the improvements through applying such schemes operating at two endpoints (i.e., transmitter and receiver) only are limited even after five generations of wireless systems. Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) or intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) have emerged as a new and revolutionary technology that can configure the wireless environment in a favorable manner by properly tuning the phase shifts of a large number of quasi passive and low-cost reflecting elements, thus standing out as a promising candidate technology for the next-/sixth-generation (6G) wireless system. However, to reap the performance benefits promised by RIS/IRS, efficient signal processing techniques are crucial, for a variety of purposes such as channel estimation, transmission design, radio localization, and so on. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive overview of recent advances on RIS/IRS-aided wireless systems from the signal processing perspective. We also highlight promising research directions that are worthy of investigation in the future.

description: Roger Philip Ekins was born in London and educated at Westminster School. He studied natural sciences at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, and then returned to London, where he spent the rest of his career. His work initially focused on the thyroid gland and its disorders. In the 1950s, measurements of circulating hormones and other substances relied on biological assays. These were very time-consuming, inaccurate and unsuitable for routine clinical laboratories. In 1960, Ekins published the first radioactive assay for measuring the thyroid hormone thyroxine, using an approach he called ‘saturation analysis’; this and other work led to the systematic and accurate diagnosis of different forms of thyroid disease. He also developed tests for low-concentration biological substances, such as vitamin B12, always using simple and elegant techniques. In 1986, he was the first to propose the use of microarray ‘chip’ technologies for measuring these biological molecules simultaneously, recognizing that this could be applied to many other substances, such as oligonucleotides or peptides; he then worked with Boehringer Mannheim-Roche to develop the methodology. Meanwhile, he helped to identify the importance of thyroid hormones during human development, demonstrating that reduced levels of maternal thyroxine predicted the severity of the resulting ‘cretinism’ in their children. As a result, he went on to study the effects of abnormal levels of maternal thyroid hormones on fetal development, developing a rat model of maternal hypothyroidism. He travelled widely giving courses on standardization of the radioactive clinical assays, sponsored by the World Health Organization and the International Atomic Energy Agency. He received many UK and international awards for his work, including the Prince of Wales Award for Innovation in 1991 and the Dale Medal from the Society of Endocrinology in 1998. He was elected FRS in 2001.
Stellar Variability in the Era of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory's LSST
Creators: name: Anderson, Richard I.
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Variable star research is about to undergo a revolution driven by large time-resolved imaging surveys such as ESA's Gaia mission and Rubin/LSST. Gaia is expected to increase the number of variable stars from 10 million to more than 100 million by the end of 2025, and Rubin/LSST will further dwarf this number by providing access to the faint variable sky and surveying the variable star populations at distances of up to several Mpc. 

In this era of low-frame rate color video of the sky, the variability of all stars on a plethora of time scales will be available, breaking down barriers among disciplines. For example, the saying that "all stars are variable on some time scale" may be expanded by "at some limit of photometric precision".

Starting with the Variability Tree, I will describe different classes of variable stars, their time scales of variability, amplitudes, as well as some potential insights to be gained from investigating different types of variability. Given the unprecedented volume and homogeneity of the incoming data, it is highly likely that the incompleteness of our understanding of stellar variability will be ruthlessly exposed. To maximize the harvest for variable stars, machine learning methods for variable star classification will be indispensable. However, observational follow-up, notably using spectrographs and multi-wavelength photometry will be crucial to ensure correct classification, and faciliites capable of very high spatial resolution, such as the ELT, will be crucial to accurately measuring the properties of very distant variable stars.

description: In order to provide an emotionally responsive environment for young people in care, we must turn our attention to the emotional wellbeing of the adults who look after them. The COVID-19 pandemic provides an opportunity to highlight the importance of the emotional wellbeing of caring adults. This includes introducing processes within the workplace that can be adopted to support the development of self-care, such as developing skills in self-awareness, emotional literacy and regulation, enabling adults to be emotionally present and responsive to the needs of young people. This article reflects on the introduction of supervision, reflective practice and consultation within Aberlour Sycamore Services in Scotland, summarising a recent evaluation of these structures.

description: We present an advection-pressure flux-vector splitting method for the one and two- dimensional shallow water equations following the approach first proposed by Toro and Vázquez for the compressible Euler equations. The resulting first-order schemes turn out to be exceedingly simple, with accuracy and robustness comparable to that of the sophisticated Godunov upwind method used in conjunction with complete non- linear Riemann solvers. The technique splits the full system into two subsystems, namely an advection system and a pressure system. The sought numerical flux results from fluxes for each of the subsystems. The basic methodology, extended on 2D unstructured meshes, constitutes the building block for the construction of numerical schemes of very high order of accuracy following the ADER approach. The presented numerical schemes are systematically assessed on a carefully selected suite of test problems with reference solutions, in one and two space dimensions.The applicabil- ity of the schemes is illustrated through simulations of tsunami wave propagation in the Pacific Ocean.

description: Landauer's principle imposes a fundamental limit on the energy cost to perfectly initialize a classical bit, which is only reached under the ideal operation with infinite-long time. The question on the cost in the practical operation for a quantum bit (qubit) has been posted under the constraint by the finiteness of operation time. We discover a raise-up of energy cost by $\mathcal{L}^{2}(ε)/τ$ from the Landaeur's limit ($k_{B}T\ln2$) for a finite-time $τ$ initialization with an error probability $ε$. The thermodynamic length $\mathcal{L}(ε)$ between the states before and after initializing in the parametric space increases monotonously as the error decreases. For example, in the constant dissipation coefficient ($γ_{0}$) case, the minimal additional cost is $0.997k_{B}T/(γ_{0}τ)$ for $ε=1\%$ and $1.288k_{B}T/(γ_{0}τ)$ for $ε=0.1\%$. Furthermore, the optimal protocol to reach the bound of minimal energy cost is proposed for the qubit initialization realized via a finite-time isothermal process.

description: We present deep, wide-field imaging of the M51 system using CWRU's Burrell Schmidt telescope at KPNO to study the faint tidal features that constrain its interaction history. Our images trace M51's tidal morphology down to a limiting surface brightness of $μ_{B,lim}\sim $30 mag arcsec$^{-2}$, and provide accurate colors ($σ_{B-V} < 0.1$) down to $μ_B\sim 28$. We identify two new tidal streams in the system (the South and Northeast Plumes) with surface brightnesses of $μ_B =29$ and luminosities of $\sim 10^6 L_{\odot,B}$. While the Northeast Plume may be a faint outer extension of the tidal "crown" north of NGC 5195 (M51b), the South Plume has no analogue in any existing M51 simulation and may represent a distinct tidal stream or disrupted dwarf galaxy. We also trace the extremely diffuse Northwest Plume out to a total extent of 20' (43 kpc) from NGC 5194(M51a), and show it to be physically distinct from the overlapping bright tidal streams from M51b. The Northwest Plume's morphology and red color ($B-V=0.8$) instead argue that it originated from tidal stripping of M51a's extreme outer disk. Finally, we confirm the strong segregation of gas and stars in the Southeast Tail, and do not detect any diffuse stellar component in the HI portion of the tail. Extant simulations of M51 have difficulty matching both the wealth of tidal structure in the system and the lack of stars in the HI tail, motivating new modeling campaigns to study the dynamical evolution of this classic interacting system.

description: A natural extension of superadditivity is not sufficient to imply that the
grand coalition is efficient when externalities are present. We provide a condition, analogous to convexity, that is sufficient for the grand coalition to be
efficient and show that this also implies that the (appropriately de…fined) core is
nonempty. Moreover, we propose a mechanism which implements the most efficient partition for all coalition formation games and characterize the resulting
payoff division.

description: Living shorelines are nature-based solutions to coastal erosion that can be constructed as salt marshes with fringing oyster reefs. Each of these habitats can decrease the potential for eutrophication through increased nitrogen (N) removal via denitrification. However, the development of N cycling over time has not been studied in living shorelines. This research measured denitrification rates in a chronosequence of living shorelines spanning 0–20 years in age in Bogue Sound, NC. Analyses were conducted seasonally from summer 2014 to spring 2015 along an elevation transect through the salt marsh, oyster reef, and adjacent sandflat at all sites. Gas fluxes (N2 and O2) from sediment core incubations were measured with a membrane inlet mass spectrometer (MIMS) to assess denitrification and sediment oxygen demand. Fluxes of dissolved nutrients and the greenhouse gas N2O were measured. Sediment properties, inundation frequency, oyster filtration rates, and marsh grass stem density were also quantified. There was no significant difference in denitrification rates among habitats. N removal consistently increased from the 0- to 7-year-old sites. Denitrification efficiency was always greater than 50% and positive N2O fluxes were negligible. Our results suggest that living shorelines increase net N removal within a relatively short time period following construction, without introducing deleterious greenhouse gas emissions. This demonstrates that living shorelines can play an important role in estuarine N cycling and management.

description: Improving mechanistic prediction of shoreline response to sea level rise is currently limited by 1) morphologic complexity of tidal creek shorelines that confounds application of mechanistic models, and 2) availability of suspended sediment measurements to parameterize mechanistic models. To address these challenges we developed a metric to distinguish two morphodynamic classes of tidal creek and tested whether this metric could be used to predict suspended sediment concentration. We studied three small tidal creeks in North Carolina, U.S.A. We collected suspended sediment at one non-tidal and two tidal sites in each creek and measured the wetland and channel width using a geographic information system. In each creek, tidal harmonics were measured for one year, sediment accretion on the salt marsh was measured for three years, and shoreline erosion was measured from aerial photographs spanning 50ï¿½years. Additional total suspended solids measurements from seven creeks reported in a national database supplemented our analysis. Among the three intensively studied creeks, shoreline erosion was highest in the most embayed creek (having a wider channel than the width of adjoining wetlands) and lowest in the wetland-dominated creek (having a channel narrower than the width of adjoining wetlands). Wetland sediment accretion rate in the wetland-dominated creek was four times higher than the accretion in the embayed creek. The wetland-dominated tidal creek had over twice the suspended sediment as the most embayed creek. Based on these results, we conclude that our metric of embayed and contrasting wetland-dominated creek morphology provides a guide for choosing between two types of morphodynamic models that are widely used to predict wetland shoreline change. This metric also allowed us to parse the 10 tidal creeks studied into two groups with different suspended sediment concentrations. This relationship between suspended sediment concentration and creek morphology provides a method to estimate sediment concentration for individual tidal creek shorelines from spatial data alone, enabling more accurate parameterization of shoreline change models.

description: We present imaging at 19, 25, 31, and 37 μm of the compact HII region complex G-0.02-0.07 located 6 pc in projection from the center of the Galaxy obtained with SOFIA using FORCAST. G-0.02-0.07 contains three compact HII regions (A, B, and C) and one ultra-compact HII region (D). Our observations reveal the presence of two faint, infrared sources located 23'' and 35'' to the east of region C (FIRS 1 and 2) and detect dust emission in two of the three "ridges" of ionized gas west of region A. The 19/37 color temperature and 37 μm optical depth maps of regions A - C are used to characterize the dust energetics and morphology. Regions A and B exhibit average 19/37 color temperatures of ~105 K, and regions C and D exhibit color temperatures of ~115 K and ~130 K, respectively. Using the DustEM code we model the SEDs of regions A - D and FIRS 1, all of which require populations of very small, transiently heated grains and large, equilibrium-heated grains. We also require the presence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in regions A - C in order to fit the 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, and 8.0 μm fluxes observed by Spitzer/IRAC. The location of the heating source for region A is determined by triangulation from distances and temperatures derived from DustEM models fit to SEDs of three different points around the region, and is found to be displaced to the northeast of the center of curvature near the color temperature peak. Based on total luminosity, expected 1.90 μm fluxes, and proximity to the mid-IR color temperature peaks we identify heating source candidates for regions A, B, and C. However, for region D, the observed fluxes at 1.87 and 1.90 μm of the previously proposed ionizing star are a factor of ~40 times too bright to be the heating source and hence is likely just a star lying along the line of sight towards region D.

description: Enantiodetection of chiral molecules is important to pharmaceutical drug production, chemical reaction control, and biological function designs. Traditional optical methods of enantiodetection rely on the weak magnetic-dipole or electric-quadrupole interactions, and in turn suffer from the weak signal and low sensitivity. We propose a new optical enantiodetection method to determine the enantiomeric excess via two-dimensional (2D) spectroscopy of the chiral mixture driven by three electromagnetic fields. The quantities of left- and right- handed chiral molecules are reflected by the intensities of different peaks on the 2D spectrum, separated by the chirality-dependent frequency shifts resulting from the relative strong electric-dipole interactions between the chiral molecules and the driving fields. Thus, the enantiomeric excess can be determined via the intensity ratio of the peaks for the two enantiomers.
