description: Ultracold atomic gases have developed into prime systems for experimental studies of Efimov three-body physics and related few-body phenomena, which occur in the universal regime of resonant interactions. In the last few years, many important breakthroughs have been achieved, confirming basic predictions of universal few-body theory and deepening our understanding of such systems. We review the basic ideas along with the fast experimental developments of the field, focussing on ultracold cesium gases as a well-investigated model system. Triatomic Efimov resonances, atom-dimer Efimov resonances, and related four-body resonances are discussed as central observables. We also present some new observations of such resonances, supporting and complementing the set of available data.

Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Highest posterior density intervals (HPDI's) are derived for the true eccentricities of spectroscopic binaries with measured values e ~ 0. These yield upper limits when e is below the detection threshold e_th and seamlessly transform to upper and lower bounds when e > e_th. In the main text, HPDI's are computed with an informative eccentricity prior representing orbital decay due to tidal dissipation. In an appendix, the corresponding HPDI's are computed with a uniform prior and are the basis for a revised version of the Lucy-Sweeney test, with the previous outcome e = 0 now replaced by an upper limit. Sampling experiments with known prior confirm the validity of the HPDI's.

description: The motivation of this study is to investigate how a sand-surface interface behaves under low effective stresses. The main objectives of this study are to- (1) record the peak and residual interface friction between sandy soils and different interfaces using tilt-table apparatus; (2) observe whether different sample thickness changes the shear strength significantly in sandy soils; (3) study the effect of interface coating on the failure mechanism; (4) study the influence of normal stresses on residual failure angle or friction coefficient; (5) compare frictional coefficient of polypropylene-sand interface from model flowline axial resistance tests & tilt-table tests; (6) study the drained response of silty sand. Tilt-table tests have been used to find the interface friction for mostly clay and solid interfaces, so there is a need to study the behavior of sand-solid interface. A series of 76 tests have been conducted. A total of 62 tilt-table tests have been conducted (47 on silty sand & 15 on dry sand) on five different interfaces and a total of 14 model flowline axial resistance tests have been conducted to compare with the data obtained from tilt-table tests. These tests provide a better idea of the interaction between the sandy soil and several surfaces under low effective stresses. The following conclusions were drawn from this study- (1) Changing the effective stresses may lead to change in failure type. The failure angle measured when the internal failure starts may not be a correct estimation of the interface strength as the soil fails internally in some cases; (2) At very low effective stresses, the failure angle on smooth surfaces is governed by the soil-interface interaction while on rough surfaces, it can be governed by internal soil particle interaction; (3) The friction coefficient obtained from tilt-table test and model flowline axial resistance test on dry sand were similar. It is recommended for future tests that the model pipes are loaded as closely as possible to the vertical center of mass on the pipe.

description: We consider the asymptotics of the invariant measure for the process of the empirical spatial distribution of $N$ coupled Markov chains in the limit of a large number of chains. Each chain reflects the stochastic evolution of one particle. The chains are coupled through the dependence of the transition rates on this spatial distribution of particles in the various states. Our model is a caricature for medium access interactions in wireless local area networks. It is also applicable to the study of spread of epidemics in a network. The limiting process satisfies a deterministic ordinary differential equation called the McKean-Vlasov equation. When this differential equation has a unique globally asymptotically stable equilibrium, the spatial distribution asymptotically concentrates on this equilibrium. More generally, its limit points are supported on a subset of the $ω$-limit sets of the McKean-Vlasov equation. Using a control-theoretic approach, we examine the question of large deviations of the invariant measure from this limit.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.In the 22 million tons of ballast water discharged annually by ships in main French ports are numerous aquatic living species. Among these, there are potentially noxious phytoplankton, which constitute a major threat for the coastal economy, and for aquaculture in the first place. Sampling campaigns in ports during shipʹs discharges gives numerous indications of potentially noxious phytoplankton species released with a good chance of survival and settlement. This is a particular problem in ports close to Europeʹs primary oyster farming area.

description: In this work (which supersedes our previous preprint arXiv:1112.2345) we determine the expectation value of the N=4$ SU(N) SYM Lagrangian density operator in the presence of an infinitely heavy static particle in the symmetric representation of SU(N), by means of a D3-brane probe computation. The result that we obtain coincides with two previous computations of different observables, up to kinematical factors. We argue that these agreements go beyond the D-brane probe approximation, which leads us to propose an exact formula for the expectation value of various operators. In particular, we provide an expression for the total energy loss by radiation of a heavy particle in the fundamental representation.

description: An unconditionally secure authority-certified anonymous quantum key distribution scheme using conjugate coding is presented, base on which we construct a quantum election scheme without the help of entanglement state. We show that this election scheme ensures the completeness, soundness, privacy, eligibility, unreusability, fairness and verifiability of a large-scale election in which the administrator and counter are semi-honest. This election scheme can work even if there exist loss and errors in quantum channels. In addition, any irregularity in this scheme is sensible.

description: The pluripotency of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) is controlled by a multilayer regulatory network, of which the key factors include core pluripotency genes Oct4, Sox2 and Nanog, and multiple microRNAs (miRNAs). Recently, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been discovered as a class of new regulators for ESCs, and some lncRNAs could function as competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) to regulate mRNAs by competitively binding to miRNAs. Here, we identify mmu-miR-139-5p as a new regulator for Nanog by targeting Nanog 3′ untranslated region (UTR) to repress Nanog expression in mouse ESCs and embryos. Such regulation could be released by an ESC-specifically expressed ceRNA named lnc-NAP. The expression of lnc-NAP is activated by OCT4, SOX2, as well as NANOG through promoter binding. Downregulation of lnc-NAP reduces Nanog abundance, which leads to decreased pluripotency of mouse ESCs and embryonic lethality. These results reveal lnc-NAP as a new regulator for Nanog in mouse ESCs, and uncover a feed-forward regulatory loop of Nanog through the participation of lnc-NAP.

description: In this paper we demonstrate that the property of monogamy of Bell violations seen for no-signaling correlations in composite systems can be generalized to the monogamy of contextuality in single systems obeying the Gleason property of no-disturbance. We show how one can construct monogamies for contextual inequalities by using the graph-theoretic technique of vertex decomposition of a graph representing a set of measurements into subgraphs of suitable independence numbers that themselves admit a joint probability distribution. After establishing that all the subgraphs that are chordal graphs admit a joint probability distribution, we formulate a precise graph-theoretic condition that gives rise to the monogamy of contextuality. We also show how such monogamies arise within quantum theory for a single four-dimensional system and interpret violation of these relations in terms of a violation of causality. These monogamies can be tested with current experimental techniques.

description: We employ state-of-the-art ab initio simulations within the dynamical mean-field theory to study three likely phases of iron (hexogonal close-packed, hcp, face centered cubic, fcc, and body centered cubic, bcc) at the Earth's core conditions. We demonstrate that the correction to the electronic free energy due to correlations can be significant for the relative stability of the phases. The strongest effect is observed in bcc Fe, which shows a non-Fermi liquid behaviour, and where a Curie-Weiss behaviour of the uniform susceptbility hints at a local magnetic moment still existing at 5800 K and 300 GPa. We predict that all three structures have sufficiently high magnetic susceptibility to stabilize the geodynamo.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Marine Scotland - Science is undertaking two research projects to assess the biofouling on vessels arriving in Scottish waters. The overall aim of both projects is to obtain information regarding which species are being transported via biofouling and whether particular vessels (e.g. recreational or commercial) or voyages (e.g. UK-based or international) pose a higher risk. For recreational vessels, the Marine Aliens II project has involved partners from all over the UK taking part in coordinated fieldwork to deploy settling panels for different lengths of time at marinas throughout the UK. The panels were placed in exposed and sheltered area of the marina and were left out for two or eight weeks before being collected. As well as indicating differences in settlement rates throughout the UK, it is hoped that the results will indicate whether marina design has an influence on the settlement. The second project, the Scottish Government Biofouling Project, will collect samples from commercial vessels and this will be achieved by visiting dry docks to sample the hulls and other areas of vessels that are subject to reduced water flow and will also use a series of in water methods (e.g. remotely controlled cameras, divers) to record and sample biofouling on vessels. The combination of these methods will allow samples to be collected from a variety of vessels from different origins.

description: We consider the kick-induced mobility of two-dimensional (2D) fundamental dissipative solitons in models of lasing media based on the 2D complex Ginzburg-Landau (CGL) equation including a spatially periodic potential (transverse grating). The depinning threshold is identified by means of systematic simulations, and described by means of an analytical approximation, depending on the orientation of the kick. Various pattern-formation scenarios are found above the threshold. Most typically, the soliton, hopping between potential cells, leaves arrayed patterns of different sizes in its wake. In the laser cavity, this effect may be used as a mechanism for selective pattern formation controlled by the tilt of the seed beam. Freely moving solitons feature two distinct values of the established velocity. Elastic and inelastic collisions between free solitons and pinned arrayed patterns are studied too.

description: Motivated by the study of the potential use of blowing and venting operations of ballast tanks in manned submarines as a complementary or alternative control system for manoeuvring, we first propose a mathematical model for these operations. Then we consider the coupling of blowing and venting with the Feldman, variable mass, coefficient based hydrodynamic model for the equations of motion. The final complete model is composed of a system of twenty-four nonlinear ordinary differential equations. In a second part, we carry out a rigorous mathematical analysis of the model: existence of a solution is proved. As one of the possible applications of this model in naval engineering problems, we consider the problem of roll control in an emergency rising manoeuvre by using only blowing and venting. To this end, we formulate a suitable constrained, nonlinear, optimal control problem where controls are linked to the variable aperture of blowing and venting valves of each of the tanks. Existence of a solution for this problem is also proved. Finally, we address the numerical resolution of the control problem by using a descent algorithm. Numerical experiments seem to indicate that, indeed, an appropriate use of blowing and venting operations may help in the control of this emergency manoeuvre.

Cognitive aspects of sexual functioning : differences between East Asians and Euro-Caucasians
Creators: name: Morton, Heather Lea Woodworth
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: The purpose of this study was to investigate male and female undergraduates’ sexual beliefs, as well as their thoughts and emotions associated with sexual experiences. The study aimed to determine whether there are differences in these variables between East Asians and Euro-Caucasians, as well as the relationship between these variables and acculturation. In addition, the relationship between sexual beliefs, automatic thoughts, and emotions, and specific aspects of sexual functioning were also examined in both men and women. Euro Canadian (153) and East Asian (251) undergraduate students completed a questionnaire package measuring these variables. East Asian men and women had greater endorsement of almost all dysfunctional sexual beliefs assessed in the study. In addition, East Asian and Euro-Caucasian women differed in the frequency in which they experience negative automatic thoughts. East Asian men reported higher levels of fear compared to Euro-Caucasian men during sexual activity. Associations between difficulties in sexual functioning and dysfunctional sexual beliefs in East Asians, and difficulties in sexual functioning and automatic thoughts in both East Asians and Euro- Caucasians were also found. Together these results provide preliminary support for the hypothesis that differences in cognitive aspects of sexuality may underlie the differences in sexual functioning previously observed between these two groups.

description: The family symmetry $SU(3)\otimes U(1)$ is proposed to solve flavor problems about fermion masses and flavor mixings. It's breaking is implemented by some flavon fields at the high-energy scale. In addition a discrete group $Z_{2}$ is introduced to generate tiny neutrino masses, which is broken by a real singlet scalar field at the middle-energy scale. The low-energy effective theory is elegantly obtained after all of super-heavy fermions are integrated out and decoupling. All the fermion mass matrices are regularly characterized by four fundamental matrices and thirteen parameters. The model can perfectly fit and account for all the current experimental data about the fermion masses and flavor mixings, in particular, it finely predicts the first generation quark masses and the values of $θ^{\,l}_{13}$ and $J_{CP}^{\,l}$ in neutrino physics. All of the results are promising to be tested in the future experiments.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.American lobsters (Homarus americanus) are one of the main commercial fisheries in the Northwest Atlantic. The recent arrival and establishment of the European green crab (Carcinus maenas) within Atlantic Canada has caused concern because of potential interactions with juvenile lobster populations. Adult green crabs are highly skilled predators that explode in population size in newly invaded areas and potentially compete with juvenile lobsters for limited resources. Literature suggests that juvenile lobsters utilize shelter to avoid predation but dependence lessens as lobsters reach adulthood and gain mechanisms of defence from predators. It follows that smaller lobsters remain conditioned to a trade-off between energetic demands and the risk of predation. This study examines the foraging behaviour of juvenile lobsters (25–51 mm CL) and its potential alteration in the presence of an adult green crab. Experimental trials that provided juvenile lobsters with shelter and a feeding patch were paired with identical trials that monitored lobsters in the presence of a green crab. For each trial (n = 15 for each experiment) lobster behaviour was monitored over 8 h. Our results indicate that smaller juvenile lobsters (<35 mm CL) spent significantly less time foraging, spent more time within the shelter, and took more time to find the food source in the presence of a green crab. Thus, fine-scale size differences as those studied here, play an important role in foraging and shelter usage within the lobster juvenile stage. Our study also documents an apparent shift from shelter dependence to increased foraging at 36 mm CL.

description: Dynamic crack propagation drives catastrophic solid failures. In many amorphous brittle materials, sufficiently fast crack growth involves small-scale, high-frequency microcracking damage localized near the crack tip. The ultra-fast dynamics of microcrack nucleation, growth and coalescence is inaccessible experimentally and fast crack propagation was therefore studied only as a macroscale average. Here, we overcome this limitation in polymethylmethacrylate, the archetype of brittle amorphous materials: We reconstruct the complete spatio-temporal microcracking dynamics, with micrometer / nanosecond resolution, through post mortem analysis of the fracture surfaces. We find that all individual microcracks propagate at the same low, load-independent, velocity. Collectively, the main effect of microcracks is not to slow down fracture by increasing the energy required for crack propagation, as commonly believed, but on the contrary to boost the macroscale velocity through an acceleration factor selected on geometric grounds. Our results emphasize the key role of damage-related internal variables in the selection of macroscale fracture dynamics.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The global transhipment of ballast water and associated flora and fauna by cargo vessels has increased dramatically in recent decades. Invertebrate species are frequently carried in ballast water and sediment, although identification of diapausing eggs can be extremely problematic. Here we test the application of DNA barcoding using mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I and 16S rDNA to identify species from diapausing eggs collected in ballast sediment of ships. The accuracy of DNA barcoding identification was tested by comparing the results of the two independent molecular markers, and by comparing DNA barcoding results with traditional morphological identification of individuals hatched from diapausing eggs. Further, we explored two public genetic databases to determine the broader applicability of DNA barcodes. Of 289 diapausing eggs surveyed, sufficient DNA for barcoding was obtained from 96 individuals (33%). Of these eggs, 61 (64%) were identified to species level, whereas 36% were identified to family/order level. Species level identifications were always consistent between methodologies. DNA barcoding was suitable for a wide range of taxa, including Branchiopoda, Copepoda, Rotifera, Bryozoa, and Ascidia. Branchiopoda and Copepoda were respectively the best and worst represented groups in genetic databases. Though genetic databases remain incomplete, DNA barcoding resolved nearly double the number of species identified by traditional taxonomy (19 vs. 10). Notorious invaders are well represented in existing databases, making these non-indigenous species detectable. DNA barcoding provides a rapid and accurate approach to identification of invertebrate diapausing eggs that otherwise would be very difficult to identify.

Indosylvirana intermedia

description: Indosylvirana intermedia (Rao, 1937) New records. INDIA • Karnataka: Udupi: Manipal, Herga, site code E (13.3729°N, 074.8015°E), obs. by MM & RS, 29 Apr. 2017, 41 individuals. Fig. 3N. Identification. The SVL is 46– 42 mm in males and 66– 74 mm in females. This species has a bright, goldenyellowish dorsum. There are moderately developed dorso-lateral folds on the dorsum. This is the only Indosylirana species that has the thigh and tibia of equal length. We have not made measurements of these lengths, but our analysis of our photographs using ImageJ found the thigh and tibia length to be equal in our specimens. This species can be confused with I. aurantiaca (Boulenger, 1904); however, I. aurantiaca is much smaller, with the SVL from 27 to 32 mm, and there are weak dorso-lateral folds (Biju et al. 2014; Oliver et al. 2015). The call is a series of short, low-pitched, harsh “chuck” sounds. Habitat. This species is often found in waterlogged paddy fields and ephemeral pools with some grass and small shrubs. This frog is known from near sea level to 1000 m above sea level. Distribution. This species is endemic to the Western Ghats, from north of the Palghat Gap.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The introduction and spread of non-indigenous species (NIS) in marine ecosystems accelerated during the twentieth century as a result of human activities, notably international shipping. Genetic analysis has proven useful in understanding the invasion history and dynamics of colonizing NIS and identifying their source population(s). Here we investigated sequence variation in the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi, a species considered as one of the most invasive globally. We surveyed four populations from the native distribution range along the Atlantic coasts of the United States and South America, as well as six populations in the introduced range from the Black, Azov, Caspian, and Baltic Seas. Allelic and nucleotide diversity of introduced populations were comparable with those of native populations from which they were likely drawn. Introduced populations typically exhibited less genetic differentiation (lower FST values) than native populations. Population genetic analyses supported the invasion of Eurasia from at least two different pathways, the first from the Gulf of Mexico (e.g. Tampa Bay) to the Black Sea and thence to the Caspian Sea, the second from the northern part of the native distribution range (e.g. Narragansett Bay) to the Baltic Sea. The relatively high genetic diversity observed in introduced populations is consistent with large inocula and/or multiple invasions, both of which are possible given ballast water transport and the extensive native distribution of the ctenophore in the Atlantic Ocean.
The Meissner effect in a strongly underdoped cuprate above its critical temperature

description: The Meissner effect and the associated perfect "bulk" diamagnetism together with zero resistance and gap opening are characteristic features of the superconducting state. In the pseudogap state of cuprates unusual diamagnetic signals as well as anomalous proximity effects have been detected but a Meissner effect has never been observed. Here we have probed the local diamagnetic response in the normal state of an underdoped La1.94Sr0.06CuO4 layer (up to 46 nm thick, critical temperature Tc' < 5 K) which was brought into close contact with two nearly optimally doped La1.84Sr0.16CuO4 layers (Tc \approx 32 K). We show that the entire 'barrier' layer of thickness much larger than the typical c axis coherence lengths of cuprates exhibits a Meissner effect at temperatures well above Tc' but below Tc. The temperature dependence of the effective penetration depth and superfluid density in different layers indicates that superfluidity with long-range phase coherence is induced in the underdoped layer by the proximity to optimally doped layers; however, this induced order is very sensitive to thermal excitation.

description: We present new solutions of warped compactifications in the higher-dimensional gravity coupled to the scalar and the form field strengths. These solutions are constructed in the D-dimensional spacetime with matter fields, with the internal space that has a finite volume. Our solutions give explicit examples where the cosmological constant or 0-form field strength leads to a de Sitter spacetime in arbitrary dimensions.

Theory of band gap bowing of disordered substitutional II-VI and III-V semiconductor alloys

description: For a wide class of technologically relevant compound III-V and II-VI semiconductor materials AC and BC mixed crystals (alloys) of the type A(x)B(1-x)C can be realized. As the electronic properties like the bulk band gap vary continuously with x, any band gap in between that of the pure AC and BC systems can be obtained by choosing the appropriate concentration x, granted that the respective ratio is miscible and thermodynamically stable. In most cases the band gap does not vary linearly with x, but a pronounced bowing behavior as a function of the concentration is observed. In this paper we show that the electronic properties of such A(x)B(1-x)C semiconductors and, in particular, the band gap bowing can well be described and understood starting from empirical tight binding models for the pure AC and BC systems. The electronic properties of the A(x)B(1-x)C system can be described by choosing the tight-binding parameters of the AC or BC system with probabilities x and 1-x, respectively. We demonstrate this by exact diagonalization of finite but large supercells and by means of calculations within the established coherent potential approximation (CPA). We apply this treatment to the II-VI system Cd(x)Zn(1-x)Se, to the III-V system In(x)Ga(1-x)As and to the III-nitride system Ga(x)Al(1-x)N.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Global climate change and invasion by non-native species constitute some of the largest and most current threats to the marine environment. Invertebrates and macroalgae are particularly important invaders in coastal ecosystems. Already impacted by other stressors, seagrass beds now also have to face climate change and invasive species. We examine how two seagrass species, the temperate Zostera marina and subtropical Halophila ovalis, respond to elevated temperatures. We also tested if impacts of drift algae (invasive Gracilaria vermiculophylla on Z. marina; native Chaetomorpha linum on H. ovalis) and the invasive snail Batillaria australis (only on H. ovalis) are accelerated under enhanced temperatures. Response variables included various seagrass performance indices (morphology, biomass, survival, and growth) and sediment biogeochemistry. Survival was primarily influenced by temperature but for H. ovalis also by drift algal cover. The influence on growth and biogeochemistry was likewise. Our results suggest that the seagrass species from the temperate zones is less able to cope with elevated temperatures, whereas the impact of drift algae seems to depend on their morphology (i.e. dense mats of filamentous algae vs. coarsely branched Gracilaria). In contrast to temperature effects (and to some extent also for drift algal effects) the invasive snail B. australis had virtually no significant effects on H. ovalis. In conclusion, this study suggests that elevated temperatures are more threatening to temperate seagrass species, whereas effects of drift algae, either alone or in synergy with other stressors, will depend on the species-specific properties of the macroalgae.
