description: New Cu(II), Ni(II), Zn(II) complexes of a guanylurea ligand were synthesized and their structures were characterized by spectroscopic and analytical methods. The ligand was prepared by the hydrolysis of dicyandiamine in the presence of glacial acetic acid and obtained as acetate salt (HL·OAc). Molecular structure of the ligand and its Cu(II) complex were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. In the structure of the Cu(II) complex, each Cu(II) ion is four-coordinate with an approximate square planar geometry. The structures of the ligand and its Cu(II) complex were stabilized by hydrogen bond interactions. Antibacterial activity of the complexes was evaluated by single disk method. The complexes exhibit antibacterial activity. The synthesized compounds were screened for their FSds-DNA properties and Zn(II) complex showed higher binding affinity than free ligand and its Cu(II) and Ni(II) complexes.

description: Spontaneous branching of discharge channels is frequently observed, but not well understood. We recently proposed a new branching mechanism based on simulations of a simple continuous discharge model in high fields. We here present analytical results for such streamers in the Lozansky-Firsov limit where they can be modelled as moving equipotential ionization fronts. This model can be analyzed by conformal mapping techniques which allow the reduction of the dynamical problem to finite sets of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The solutions illustrate that branching is generic for the intricate head dynamics of streamers in the Lozansky-Firsov-limit.

description: Aspergillus fumigatus is an opportunistic fungal pathogen of the human airway that can cause a variety of chronic infections, typically in the context of pre-existing lung damage. The interaction of A. fumigatus with ex-vivo pig lung (EVPL) samples was characterized at the proteomic level to provide insights into how the fungus may interact with pulmonary tissue in vivo. This model has many advantages, because pigs share 90% immunological homology with humans and display many anatomical similarities. EVPL also retains resident immune cells, has richer cellular complexity compared to in-vitro models, and has a microbiome. Label-free quantitative proteomic analysis identified the metabolism and development of A. fumigatus on the EVPL alveolar sections; at 48 h, there was an increased abundance of proteins associated with carbon metabolism (e.g., malate dehydrogenase (+ 8.2 fold increase)), and amino acid metabolism and biosynthesis (e.g., 5-methyltetrahydropteroyltriglutamate--homocysteine S-methyltransferase, (+5.04 fold)) at 72 h. Porcine tissue remained responsive to the pathogen with proteins that increased in abundance associated with innate immune recruitment (e.g., protein S100-A8 (+28.5 fold) and protein S100-A9 (calgranulin-B) (+7.25 fold)) at 24 h, while proteins associated with neutrophil degranulation (e.g., elastase, neutrophil (-2.74 fold)) decreased in abundance. At 96 h, the infected tissue demonstrated enhanced expression of fibrotic markers (e.g., fibrillin 1, collagen type IV alpha 1 chain, and alpha 2 chain, increased by +16.44, +15.42 and +11.95 fold respectively). These results validate the use of this model for studying pathogen-host interactions and highlight how A. fumigatus interacts with pulmonary tissues during colonization.

description: The state of the atmosphere is governed by the classical laws of fluid motion and exhibits correlations in various spatial and temporal scales. These correlations are crucial to understand the short and long term trends in climate. Cirrus clouds are important ingredients of the atmospheric boundary layer. To improve future parameterization of cirrus clouds in climate models, it is important to understand the cloud properties and how they change within the cloud. We study correlations in the fluctuations of radar signals obtained at isodepths of winter and fall cirrus clouds. In particular we focus on three quantities: (i) the backscattering cross-section, (ii) the Doppler velocity and (iii) the Doppler spectral width. They correspond to the physical coefficients used in Navier Stokes equations to describe flows, i.e. bulk modulus, viscosity, and thermal conductivity. In all cases we find that power-law time correlations exist with a crossover between regimes at about 3 to 5 min. We also find that different type of correlations, including 1/f behavior, characterize the top and the bottom layers and the bulk of the clouds. The underlying mechanisms for such correlations are suggested to originate in ice nucleation and crystal growth processes.

description: The formation, properties, and evolution of massive stars remain subject to considerable uncertainty; impacting on fields as diverse as galactic feedback and the nature of the progenitors of both electromagnetic and gravitational wave transients. The clusters many such stars reside within provide a unique laboratory for addressing these issues, and in this work we provide a comprehensive stellar census of Westerlund 1 to underpin such efforts. 69 new members were identified via I-band spectroscopy, yielding a total cluster population of 166 stars with initial masses of ~25Msun to ~50Msun, with more massive stars already lost to supernova. The stellar population follows a smooth and continuous morphological sequence from late-O giant through to OB supergiant. Subsequently, the progression bifurcates, with one branch yielding mid- to late-B hypergiants and cool super-/hypergiants, and the other massive blue stragglers, prior to a diverse population of H-depleted Wolf-Rayets. A substantial population of O-type stars with anomalously broad Paschen series lines are seen, a property which we attribute to binarity. Binary interaction is clearly required to yield the uniquely rich cohort of hypergiants, which includes both mass-stripped primaries and rejuvenated secondaries/stellar mergers. As a consequence future observations of Wd1 and similar stellar aggregates hold out the prospect of characterising both single- and binary- evolutionary channels for massive stars and determining their relative contributions. This in turn will permit the physical properties of such objects at the point of core-collapse to be predicted; of direct relevance for understanding the formation of relativistic remnants such as the magnetars associated with Wd1 and other young massive clusters (Abridged).

description: Rapid neutron capture process (r-process) elements have been detected in a large fraction of metal-poor halo stars, with abundances relative to iron (Fe) that vary by over two orders of magnitude. This scatter is reduced to less than a factor of 3 in younger Galactic disc stars. The large scatter of r-process elements in the early Galaxy suggests that the r-process is made by rare events, like compact binary mergers and rare sub-classes of supernovae. Although being rare, neutron star mergers alone have difficulties to explain the observed enhancement of r-process elements in the lowest metallicity stars compared to Fe. The supernovae producing the two neutron stars already provide a substantial Fe abundance where the r-process ejecta from the merger would be injected. In this work we investigate another complementary scenario, where the r-process occurs in neutron star-black hole mergers in addition to neutron star mergers. Neutron star-black hole mergers would eject similar amounts of r-process matter as neutron star mergers, but only the neutron star progenitor would have produced Fe. Furthermore, a reduced efficiency of Fe production from single stars significantly alters the age-metallicity relation, which shifts the onset of r-process production to lower metallicities. We use the high-resolution [(20 pc)3/cell] inhomogeneous chemical evolution tool `ICE' to study the outcomes of these effects. In our simulations, an adequate combination of neutron star mergers and neutron star-black hole mergers qualitatively reproduces the observed r-process abundances in the Galaxy.

description: Rindler positivity is a property that holds in any relativistic Quantum Field Theory and implies an infinite set of inequalities involving the exponential of the Rényi mutual information $I_n(A_i,\bar{A}_j)$ between $A_i$ and $\bar{A}_j$, where $A_i$ is a spacelike region in the right Rindler wedge and $\bar{A}_j$ is the wedge reflection of $A_j$. We explore these inequalities in order to get local inequalities for $I_n(A,\bar{A})$ as a function of the distance between $A$ and its mirror region $\bar{A}$. We show that the assumption, based on the cluster property of the vacuum, that $I_n$ goes to zero when the distance goes to infinity, implies the more stringent and simple condition that $F_n\equiv{e}^{(n-1)I_n}$ should be a completely monotonic function of the distance, meaning that all the even (odd) derivatives are non-negative (non-positive). In the case of a CFT in 1+1 dimensions, we show that conformal invariance implies stronger conditions, including a sort of monotonicity of the Rényi mutual information for pairs of intervals. An application of these inequalities to obtain constraints for the OPE coefficients of the $4-$point function of certain twist operators is also discussed.

description: We have identified a sample of 10 highly reliable off-nuclear (> 2 kpc) X-ray sources at z=0.03-0.25 in late-type host galaxies within the two GOODS fields (i.e., the two Chandra Deep Fields). The combination of the superb spatial resolution and great depth of the HST ACS and Chandra ACIS coverage in the GOODS fields is critical to the identification of these sources. We extend the study of this enigmatic population up to higher redshifts and larger look-back times than has been possible before, finding that the fraction of optically luminous galaxies exhibiting luminous off-nuclear sources at z~0.1 is larger than at the current time (~36% versus ~8%). The X-ray luminosities of the GOODS off-nuclear X-ray sources are comparable to or slightly greater than the integrated point-source X-ray luminosities of nearby galaxies, providing a possible constraint on the X-ray Luminosity Function at higher star-formation rates. X-ray variability demonstrates that several of these sources are likely single accreting black holes; for the majority, however, the number of X-ray counts is too low for X-ray variability studies.

description: The HO$^-$(aq) ion participates in myriad aqueous phase chemical processes of biological and chemical interest. A molecularly valid description of its hydration state, currently poorly understood, is a natural prerequisite to modeling chemical transformations involving HO$^-$(aq). Here it is shown that the statistical mechanical quasi-chemical theory of solutions predicts that $\mathrm{HO\cdot[H_2O]_3{}^-}$ is the dominant inner shell coordination structure for HO$^-$(aq) under standard conditions. Experimental observations and other theoretical calculations are adduced to support this conclusion. Hydration free energies of neutral combinations of simple cations with HO$^-$(aq) are evaluated and agree well with experimental values.

description: Purpose: To develop and validate a deep learning model for automatic segmentation of geographic atrophy (GA) in color fundus images (CFIs) and its application to study growth rate of GA. Participants: 409 CFIs of 238 eyes with GA from the Rotterdam Study (RS) and the Blue Mountain Eye Study (BMES) for model development, and 5,379 CFIs of 625 eyes from the Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) for analysis of GA growth rate. Methods: A deep learning model based on an ensemble of encoder-decoder architectures was implemented and optimized for the segmentation of GA in CFIs. Four experienced graders delineated GA in CFIs from RS and BMES. These manual delineations were used to evaluate the segmentation model using 5-fold cross-validation. The model was further applied to CFIs from the AREDS to study the growth rate of GA. Linear regression analysis was used to study associations between structural biomarkers at baseline and GA growth rate. A general estimate of the progression of GA area over time was made by combining growth rates of all eyes with GA from the AREDS set. Results: The model obtained an average Dice coefficient of 0.72 $\pm$ 0.26 on the BMES and RS. An intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.83 was reached between the automatically estimated GA area and the graders' consensus measures. Eight automatically calculated structural biomarkers (area, filled area, convex area, convex solidity, eccentricity, roundness, foveal involvement and perimeter) were significantly associated with growth rate. Combining all growth rates indicated that GA area grows quadratically up to an area of around 12 mm$^{2}$, after which growth rate stabilizes or decreases. Conclusion: The presented deep learning model allowed for fully automatic and robust segmentation of GA in CFIs. These segmentations can be used to extract structural characteristics of GA that predict its growth rate.

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)

description: An investigation of dust emission associated with a large sample of HII regions has been carried out. Stacked results from this sample suggest that each HII region is at or near the center of a cluster of dense cores, that extends far beyond the HII region, and has volume density that decreases as r^(-3). The data also shows evidence for enhanced numbers of cores near the boundary of the HII regions. At the same time, a significant decrease in the number of cores, consistent with no cores, is observed in the interior of these HII regions. Neither these HII regions, nor their associated massive OB stars were found to have a significant heating effect on their associated dusty clumps. Clouds, or the outermost layers of the clumps in which the cores are embedded, are found to exert a strong shielding effect to external heating sources. Despite this, a large portion of the identified cores was found to be warmer than their surrounding cloud and consequently may be in the initial stages of star formation. The star formation efficiency of the 7 HII region systems with the most reliable mass budgets ranged between 1% and 9%.

description: The real-time estimation of polar motion (PM) is needed for the navigation of Earth satellite and interplanetary spacecraft. However, it is impossible to have real-time information due to the complexity of the measurement model and data processing. Various prediction methods have been developed. However, the accuracy of PM prediction is still not satisfactory even for a few days in the future. Therefore, new techniques or a combination of the existing methods need to be investigated for improving the accuracy of the predicted PM. There is a well-introduced method called Copula, and we want to combine it with singular spectrum analysis (SSA) method for PM prediction. In this study, first, we model the predominant trend of PM time series using SSA. Then, the difference between PM time series and its SSA estimation is modeled using Copula-based analysis. Multiple sets of PM predictions which range between 1 and 365 days have been performed based on an IERS 08 C04 time series to assess the capability of our hybrid model. Our results illustrate that the proposed method can efficiently predict PM. The improvement in PM prediction accuracy up to 365 days in the future is found to be around 40% on average and up to 65 and 46% in terms of success rate for the PMx and PMy, respectively.
A Characteristic Dense Environment or Wind Signature in Prompt GRB Afterglows

description: We discuss the effects of synchrotron self-absorption in the prompt emission from the reverse shock of GRB afterglows occurring in a dense environment, such as the wind of a massive stellar progenitor or a dense ISM in early galaxies. We point out that, when synchrotron losses dominate over inverse Compton losses, the higher self-absorption frequency in a dense environment implies a bump in the reverse shock emission spectrum, which can result in a more complex optical/IR light curve than previously thought. This bump is prominent especially if the burst ejecta is highly magnetized. In the opposite case of low magnetization, inverse Compton losses lead to a prompt X-ray flare. These effects give a possible new diagnostic for the magnetic energy density in the fireball, and for the presence of a dense environment.

description: Invasive ambrosia beetles and their symbiotic fungi are responsible for destructive diseases like Laurel Wilt and Fusarium Dieback. Some biological treatments and chemical pesticides (e.g. malathion) have been proposed as alternatives to control these pests, however, to date there are no effective treatments. Here we evaluated the susceptibility of the ambrosia beetle Xyleborus affinis Eichhoff to the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium robertsii strain Xoch 8.1, and the efficacy of the mycopathogenic fungus Trichoderma asperellum strain Th-T4 (3) to inhibit the growth of the pathogenic ambrosia fungus Fusarium euwallaceae strain 744. Also, we compared the efficacy of a combination of M. robertsii Xoch 8.1 and T. asperellum Th-T4 (3) against X. affinis, and examined the feasibility of using this combination as an alternative to reduce the malathion doses that have been proposed to control ambrosia beetles. The treatment of X. affinis with M. robertsii (1 × 107 con/mL) alone or in combination with T. asperellum (1 × 106 con/mL) resulted in an average mortality of 76% (±7.5), which was statistically similar to that obtained with malathion at 600 ppm (96% ± 4.0). The combination of a lower concentration of malathion (60 ppm or 200 ppm) and both fungi was as efficient as malathion at 600 ppm. Mortality in negative controls (without fungal conidia or malathion) resulted in an average of 16% (±7.5). The proposed combined treatment reduces by up to one order of magnitude the required amount of malathion, and thus represents a potential alternative to control ambrosia beetle pests.

description: We perform extensive numerical simulations of a paradigmatic model glass former, the hard-sphere fluid with 10% polydispersity. We sample from the ensemble of trajectories with fixed observation time, whereby single trajectories are generated by event-driven molecular dynamics. We show that these trajectories can be characterized in terms of local structure, and we find a dynamical-structural (active-inactive) phase transition between two dynamical phases: one dominated by liquid-like trajectories with low degree of local order and one dominated by glassy-like trajectories with a high degree of local order. We show that both phases coexist and are separated by a spatiotemporal interface. Sampling exceptionally long trajectories allows to perform a systematic finite-size scaling analysis. We find excellent agreement with Binder's scaling theory for first-order transitions. Interestingly, the coexistence region narrows at higher densities, supporting the idea of a critical point controlling the dynamic arrest.

description: This paper introduces the reader to our Kalman filter developed for geodetic VLBI (very long baseline interferometry) data analysis. The focus lies on the EOP (Earth Orientation Parameter) determination based on the Continuous VLBI Campaign 2014 (CONT14) data, but also earlier CONT campaigns are analyzed. For validation and comparison purposes we use EOP determined with the classical LSM (least squares method) estimated from the same VLBI data set as the Kalman solution with a daily resolution. To gain higher resolved EOP from LSM we run solutions which yield hourly estimates for polar motion and dUT1 = Universal Time (UT1) – Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). As an external validation data set we use a GPS (Global Positioning System) solution providing hourly polar motion results. Further, we describe our approach for determining the noise driving the Kalman filter. It has to be chosen carefully, since it can lead to a significant degradation of the results. We illustrate this issue in context with the de-correlation of polar motion and nutation. Finally, we find that the agreement with respect to GPS can be improved by up to 50% using our filter compared to the LSM approach, reaching a similar precision than the GPS solution. Especially the power of erroneous high-frequency signals can be reduced dramatically, opening up new possibilities for high-frequency EOP studies and investigations of the models involved in VLBI data analysis. We prove that the Kalman filter is more than on par with the classical least squares method and that it is a valuable alternative, especially on the advent of the VLBI2010 Global Observing System and within the GGOS frame work.

description: How do chronogeographies of creative work map onto, limit or exceed notions of the x-minute city? Prompted by this question, our paper draws on research examining lived experiences of creative work in Sydney, Australia. Through time-based spatial analysis of everyday spaces of diverse creative workers (musicians, theatre producers, actors, playwrights, visual artists, and studio managers), detailed geographies of work are revealed. Rather than rely upon single worksites, creative work involves multiple tasks undertaken across many worksites (av = 23 each). Attentive to the particulars of the creative labour process, we map sites of production, performance, networking, supplies, and inspiration. Qualitative GIS analysis confirms that centripetal effects associated with the creative sector cohere with x-minute city thinking. Yet, these centripetal effects were not universal, being most evident in the city's preeminent cluster, where “back spaces” of creativity—inconspicuous worksites of production, recording, and rehearsal—coalesced in mundane spaces. Concurrently, in a city beleaguered by merciless property markets, centrifugal effects associated with gentrification and loss of low-rent back spaces confront x-minute city potential. Aligning x-minute city concepts with the creative sectors requires more than precinct activation policies. It requires grounded qualitative-spatial research to reveal topologies of creative work, and the political-economic dynamics undermining them.

description: The vibration stability requirements for the Next Linear Collider (NLC) are far more stringent than for the previous generation of Colliders. To meet these goals, it is imperative that the effects of vibration on NLC Linac components from near-field sources (e.g. compressors, high vacuum equipment, klystrons, modulators, pumps, fans, etc) be well understood. The civil construction method, whether cut-and-cover or parallel bored tunnels, can determine the proximity and possible isolation of noise sources. This paper presents a brief summary and analysis of recently completed and planned studies for characterization of near-field vibration sources under either construction method. The results of in-situ vibration measurements will also be included.

description: Along with the rapid development of GNSS, not only BeiDou, but also Galileo, and the newly launched GPS satellites can provide signals on three frequencies at present. To fully take advantage of the multi-frequency multi-system GNSS observations on precise point positioning (PPP) technology, this study aims to implement the triple-frequency ambiguity resolution (AR) for GPS, Galileo, and BeiDou-2 combined PPP using the raw observation model. The processing of inter-frequency clock bias (IFCB) estimation and correction in the context of triple-frequency PPP AR has been addressed, with which the triple-frequency uncalibrated phase delay (UPD) estimation is realized for real GPS observations for the first time. In addition, the GPS extra-wide-line UPD quality is significantly improved with the IFCB correction. Because of not being contaminated by the IFCB, the raw UPD estimation method is directly employed for Galileo which currently has 24 satellites in operation. An interesting phenomenon is found that all Galileo satellites except E24 have a zero extra-wide-lane UPD value. With the multi-GNSS observations provided by MGEX covering 15 days, the positioning solutions of GPS + Galileo + BeiDou triple-frequency PPP AR have been conducted and analyzed. The triple-frequency kinematic GNSS PPP AR can achieve an averaged 3D positioning error of 2.2 cm, and an averaged convergence time of 10.8 min. The average convergence time can be reduced by triple-frequency GNSS PPP AR by 15.6% compared with dual-frequency GNSS PPP AR, respectively. However, the additional third frequency has only a marginal contribution to positioning accuracy after convergence.

Can billiard eigenstates be approximated by superpositions of plane waves?

Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Chaotic Dynamics (nlin.CD)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The plane wave decomposition method (PWDM) is one of the most popular strategies for numerical solution of the quantum billiard problem. The method is based on the assumption that each eigenstate in a billiard can be approximated by a superposition of plane waves at a given energy. By the classical results on the theory of differential operators this can indeed be justified for billiards in convex domains. On the contrary, in the present work we demonstrate that eigenstates of non-convex billiards, in general, cannot be approximated by any solution of the Helmholtz equation regular everywhere in $\R^2$ (in particular, by linear combinations of a finite number of plane waves having the same energy). From this we infer that PWDM cannot be applied to billiards in non-convex domains. Furthermore, it follows from our results that unlike the properties of integrable billiards, where each eigenstate can be extended into the billiard exterior as a regular solution of the Helmholtz equation, the eigenstates of non-convex billiards, in general, do not admit such an extension.

description: Objective: Determine the productive and immune response of Blackbelly lambs infected with gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN) and fed with saccharin. Design/ methodology/ approach: A total of 18 Blackbelly lambs, with an initial live weight (LW) of 13.9  3.2 kg, were randomly assigned to three different treatments (T): T1, anthelmintic treatment  basal diet (CTah); T2, basal diet without anthelmintic treatment (STah); and T3, grazing lambs without anthelmintic treatment (STPS). This experiment followed a completely randomized design with repeated measures over time; mean values were compared using Lsmeans. The parameters evaluated included live weight (LW), fecal egg count per gram (FEC), packed-cell volume (PCV), plasma protein (PP), white blood cell differential count (LEU), and IgA concentration by ELISA with Haemonchus contortus and Trichostrongylus colubriformis antigens.Results: STah and CTah lambs showed higher FEC (885  142) and LW (29.73  5.06 kg). Grazing lambs (STPS) had lower PCV (26.4  0.5%) compared to the STah and CTah lambs (27.4 to 28.4%) due to the high prevalence of H. contortus. The IgA concentration in grazing lambs ranged from 20.2 to 24.5% of the positive standard serum titer. The feedlot lambs (STah and CTah) showed values close to 5%. Study limitations/implications: Due to anthelmintic resistance problems, it was impossible to maintain grazing lambs free of infection; therefore, this group was not included. Findings/conclusions: Saccharin increases sheep resilience and achieves adequate weight gains in parasitized lambs
