description: Axion or axion-like particle (ALP) has been usually considered as a CP-odd Nambu-Goldstone boson (NGB) from the spontaneous breakdown of a global U(1) symmetry. In this paper, we point out that the NGB behaves as a CP-even particle coupled to the SM particles in a large class of simple (or perhaps the simplest) renormalizable models. We provide a first study of the collider phenomenology and cosmology of the CP-even ALP. In a natural parameter region, the CP-even ALP can be produced from the Higgs boson decay in colliders. When the mass is not very light, the signals will be Higgs exotic decays, Higgs decay to displaced vertex $\times 2$, Higgs decay to displaced vertex + missing energy. The signal can be discriminated from other models, e.g. hidden photon, by measuring the decay length and the decay products of the light new particle. In addition, when $ m_a\lesssim \,$MeV, in which case the Higgs boson invisible decay may be probed in the colliders, the CP-even ALP is a nice Dark matter (DM) candidate. The DM can be probed by 21cm line measurement, the future measurement of the Milky way mass halo function in the Vera Rubin Observatory, as well as X- or $γ$-ray observations. The DM production mechanisms are discussed.

Deciphering the Lyman-$α$ Emission Line: Towards the Understanding of Galactic Properties Extracted from Ly$α$ Spectra via Radiative Transfer Modeling

description: Existing ubiquitously in the Universe with the highest luminosity, the Lyman-$α$ emission line encodes abundant physical information about the gaseous medium it interacts with. Nevertheless, the resonant nature of Ly$α$ complicates the radiative transfer (RT) modeling of the line profile, making the extraction of physical properties of the surrounding gaseous medium notoriously difficult. In this paper, we revisit the problem of deciphering the Ly$α$ emission line with RT modeling. We reveal intrinsic parameter degeneracies in the widely-used shell model in the optically thick regime for both static and outflowing cases, which suggest the limitations of the model. We have also explored the connection between the more physically realistic multiphase, clumpy model and the shell model. We find that the parameters of a ``very clumpy'' slab model and the shell model have the following correspondences: (1) the total column density of the clumpy slab model is equal to the HI column density of the shell model; (2) the effective temperature of the clumpy slab model, which incorporates the clump velocity dispersion, is equal to the effective temperature of the shell model; (3) the average radial clump outflow velocity is equal to the shell expansion velocity; (4) large intrinsic line widths are required in the shell model to reproduce the wings of the clumpy slab models; (5) adding another phase of hot inter-clump medium will increase peak separation, and the fitted shell expansion velocity lies between the outflow velocities of two phases of gas. Our results provide a viable solution to the major discrepancies associated with Ly$α$ fitting reported in previous literature, and emphasize the importance of utilizing information from additional observations to break the intrinsic degeneracies as well as interpreting the model parameters in a more physically realistic context.

description: The Geneva seven-colour photometric system is successfully applied to the study of various astrophysical objects. It measures the slope of the Paschen continuum, the Balmer discontinuity, and blocking absorption due to hydrogen or metallic lines. One of its greatest strengths is its intrinsic homogeneity. A new catalogue of the available measurements was generated, 30 years after the last publication. The identifications for the individual stars were cross-checked on the basis of the Gaia and 2MASS catalogues. The high precision coordinates together with proper motions (if available) are included, for the first time, in the catalogue. Special caution was exercised with binaries and high-proper-motion stars. The catalogue includes 42 911 entries of highly accurate photometry. The data of this catalogue can be used for various applications, such as new calibrations of astrophysical parameters, the standardisation of new observations, and as additional information for ongoing and forthcoming all-sky surveys, such as the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS).

description: While cysteine (CysSH) is known to be exported into the extracellular space, its biological significance is not well understood. The present study examined the movement of extracellular CysSH using stable isotope-labeled cystine (CysSSCys), which is transported into cells and reduced to CysSH. Exposure of HepG2 cells to 100 µM stable isotope-labeled CysSSCys resulted in 70 µM labeled CysSH in cell medium 1 h after CysSSCys exposure. When the cell medium was collected and incubated with either hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) or atmospheric electrophiles, such as 1,2-naphthoquinone, 1,4-naphthoquinone and 1,4-benzoquinone, CysSH in the cell medium was almost completely consumed. In contrast, extracellular levels of CysSH were unaltered during exposure of HepG2 cells to H2O2 for up to 2 h, suggesting redox cycling of CysSSCys/CysSH in the cell system. Experiments with and without changing cell medium containing CysSH from HepG2 cells revealed that oxidative and electrophilic modifications of cellular proteins, caused by exposure to H2O2 and 1,2-naphthoquinone, were significantly repressed by CysSH in the medium. We also examined participation of enzymes and/or antioxidants in intracellular reduction of CysSSCys to CysSH. These results provide new findings that extracellular CysSH derived from CysSSCys plays a role in the regulation of oxidative and electrophilic stress.

description: $U(1)_X$SSM is the extension of the minimal supersymmetric standard model(MSSM) and its local gauge group is $SU(3)_C\times SU(2)_L \times U(1)_Y \times U(1)_X$. To obtain this model, three singlet new Higgs superfields and right-handed neutrinos are added to MSSM. In the framework of $U(1)_X$SSM, we study lepton flavor violating decays $τ\rightarrow{Pl}(P=π,~η,~η^\prime;~l=μ,~e)$. According to the latest experimental data of $τ\rightarrow{Pe}$ and $τ\rightarrow{Pμ}$, the influence of different sensitive parameters on the results is analyzed to make a reasonable prediction for future experiments. From the numerical analysis, the non-diagonal elements which correspond to the generations of the initial lepton and final lepton are main sensitive parameters and lepton flavor violation(LFV) sources. This work can provide a basis for finding the existence of new physics(NP).

description: Starting in March, 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic caused many disruptions in the delivery of education for students with disabilities and learning exceptionalities (also known as BC Ministry of Education inclusive education ‘designations’) in British Columbia (BC), Canada. With public and independent (private) students grouped together (province total): • Anecdotally, many parents considered ‘pulling’ their children from in-person learning during the 2020/2021 school year. However, this does not appear to have occurred in large numbers, as the provincial number of students with disabilities and learning exceptionalities (designations) actually increased (+1073) between the 2019/2020 and 2020/2021 school years. • The increase in students with designations between 2020/2021 and 2021/2022 was higher than in a typical (pre-pandemic) year (+4482). • The three designations with the greatest increases between 2019/2020 and 2021/2022 were Autism Spectrum Disorder (+3950), Learning Disabilities (+1053), and Moderate Behaviour Support/Mental Illness (+819). • The three designations with the greatest decreases between 2019/2020 and 2021/2022 were Intensive Behaviour/Serious Mental Health (-255), Moderate to Profound Intellectual Disability (-155), and Gifted (-67).

description: In this work we explore and test new formulations of cosmological scenarios in $f(Q)$ theories. In these settings, the non-metricity scalar ($Q$) is the main source of gravity and Friedmann equations are modified to account for the associated degrees of freedom. This work focuses first on the derivation, and then theoretical and observational analysis of two such (new) exact cosmological models; they both display a non-standard behaviour in which an additional parameter encoding non-metricity effects acts in the fashion of a screened cosmological constant. One of the new settings has the same background evolution as the well know DGP cosmological model, while the other resembles the former considerably, although its origin is purely phenomenological. We use the Markov Chain Montecarlo method combined with standard statistical techniques to perform observational astrophysical tests relying upon background data, specifically these are Type Ia Supernovae luminosities and direct Hubble data (from cosmic clocks), along with Cosmic Microwave Background shift and Baryon Acoustic Oscillations data. In addition, we compute some of the cosmographic parameters and other discriminators with the purpose of refining our knowledge about these models in the light of their theoretical and observational signatures, and this allows for a better comparison with the (concordance) $Λ$CDM setup. We conclude that these scenarios do not show signatures indicating a departure from the $Λ$CDM behaviour.

description: Discrete time-translation symmetry breaking can be observed in periodically-driven systems oscillating at a fraction of the frequency of the driving force. However, with the exception of the parametric instability in period-doubling, multi-periodic driving does not lead to an instability threshold. In this paper, we point out that quantum vacuum fluctuations can be generically employed to induce period multiplication. In particular, we discuss the period-tripled states in circuit QED and propose a microwave setup. We show that for weak dissipation or strong driving, the system exhibits a non-equilibrium phase transition in the sense that the time scale over which the period-tripled state is generated can be arbitrarily separated from the time-scale of the subsequent dephasing.

description: We present a follow-up method based on supervised machine learning (ML) to improve the performance in the search of gravitational wave (GW) burts from core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) using the coherent WaveBurst (cWB) pipeline. The ML model discriminates noise from signal events using as features a set of reconstruction parameters provided by cWB. Detected noise events are discarded yielding to a reduction of the false alarm rate (FAR) and of the false alarm probability (FAP) thus enhancing of the statistical significance. We tested the proposed method using strain data from the first half of the third observing run of advanced LIGO, and CCSNe GW signals extracted from 3D simulations. The ML model is learned using a dataset of noise and signal events, and then it is used to identify and discard noise events in cWB analyses. Noise and signal reduction levels were examined in single detector networks (L1 and H1) and two detector network (L1H1). The FAR was reduced by a factor of $\sim10$ to $\sim100$, there was an enhancement in the statistical significance of $\sim1$ to $\sim2σ$, while there was no impact in detection efficiencies.

description: Exposure to environmental toxins may be partly responsible for mammal neurodegenerative disorders. Consumption of seeds from Guam’s cycad tree has been linked to the disorder known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis-parkinsonism dementia complex (ALS-PDC). The unambiguous identification of causal agents of ALS-PDC has been elusive. We have examined the levels of eight metals and metalloids in cycad seeds as a function of the ambient shade in which the plants were grown. Of these metals, the data strongly suggest that aluminum (Al) and selenium (Se) are present in washed flour prepared from southern Guam’s cycad seed tissues at elevated levels, especially when the trees are grown in shade. Previous authors have speculated that Al and Se are involved in various ALS outcomes, and our results support this interpretation.

description: The dynamics of an unique type of clock mechanism known as grasshopper escapement is investigated with the aim of evaluating its accuracy in a noisy environment. It is demonstrated that the clock's precision scales linearly with the rate of its entropy production, consistently with recently reported results regarding nanoscale and quantum clocks. Moreover, it is shown that the inevitable force variations present in the mechanism can be modelled with a Maxwell-Boltzmann statistic. Finally, the function of clock error is compared with Brownian motion and its fractal-like properties are discussed. The numerical results are confirmed with experimental data.

description: We revisit the numerical construction of the initial condition for the dipole amplitude from the McLerran-Venugopalan model in the context of the JIMWLK evolution equation. We observe large finite volume effects induced by the Poisson equation formulated on a torus. We show that the situation can be partially cured by introducing an infrared regularization. We propose a procedure that has negligible finite volume corrections. The control of the finite volume and finite lattice spacings effects is crucial when considering the numerical solutions of the JIMWLK evolution equation with the collinear improvement.

description: We simulate the effects of diagenesis, cementation and compaction on the elastic properties of shales and sandstones with four different petro-elastical theories and a basin-evolution model, based on constant heating and sedimentation rates. We consider shales composed of clay minerals, mainly smectite and illite, depending on the burial depth, and the pore space is assumed to be saturated with water at hydrostatic conditions. Diagenesis in shale (smectite/illite transformation here) as a function of depth is described by a 5th-order kinetic equation, based on an Arrhenius reaction rate. On the other hand, quartz cementation in sandstones is based on a model that estimates the volume of precipitated quartz cement and the resulting porosity loss from the temperature history, using an equation relating the precipitation rate to temperature. Effective pressure effects (additional compaction) are accounted for by using Athy equation and the Hertz-Mindlin model. The petro-elastic models yield similar seismic velocities, despite the different level of complexity and physics approaches, with increasing density and seismic velocities as a function of depth. The methodology provides a simple procedure to obtain the velocity of shales and sandstones versus temperature and pressure due to the diagenesis-cementation-compaction process.

description: It has been argued that a particular type of quantum-vacuum variable $q$ can provide a solution to the main cosmological constant problem and possibly also give a cold-dark-matter component. We now show that the same $q$-field may suggest a new interpretation of the big bang, namely as a quantum phase transition between topologically inequivalent vacua. These two vacua are characterized by the equilibrium values $q=\pm \, q_{0}$ and there is a kink-type solution $q(t)$ interpolating between $q=- q_{0}$ for $t\to -\infty$ and $q= +q_{0}$ for $t\to \infty$, with conformal symmetry for $q=0$ at $t=0$.

description: The detection rate of electromagnetic (EM) and gravitational wave (GW) transients is growing exponentially. As the accuracy of the transient rates will significantly improve over the coming decades, so will our understanding of their evolution through cosmic history. To this end, we present predicted rates for EM and GW transients over the age of the Universe using Binary Population and Spectral Synthesis (BPASS) results combined with four cosmic star formation histories (SFH). These include a widely used empirical SFH of Madau & Dickinson and those from three cosmological simulations: MilliMillennium, EAGLE and IllustrisTNG. We find that the choice of SFH significantly changes our predictions: transients with short delay times are most affected by the star formation rate, while long-delay time events tend to depend on the metallicity evolution of star formation. Importantly we find that the cosmological simulations have very different metallicity evolution that cannot be reproduced by the widely used metallicity model of Langer & Norman, which impacts the binary black hole merger and stripped-envelope supernovae rates in the local Universe most acutely. We recommend against using simple prescriptions for the metallicity evolution of the Universe when predicting the rates of events that can have long delay times and that are sensitive to metallicity evolution.

Geochemical changes at the Permian–Triassic transition in Southern Alps and adjacent area: a review
Creators: name: Baud, Aymon
Publisher: name: Sezione di Museologia Scientifica e Naturalistica
Year: 2013

description: Compilation of the recent literature from the Southern Alps and adjacent area confirms the geochemical
variations of unusual amplitudes during the Permian-Triassic boundary interval (PTBI). A great attention
has been given to the negative δ13C anomaly within the Tesero Member close to the Permian-Triassic
boundary. Very detailed geochemical works have been done on the scientific Gartnerkofel core (Gk-1) and
on the Slovenian sections. Major minor and rare earth elements (REE) data are reported and show a marked
enrichment in alkaline metals and REE of some levels of the boundary interval. But recent studies show that
the low Iridium anomalies and the Osmium and Helium isotopes anomalies lack the characteristics of a large
extraterrestrial impact.

description: Background: Peer-led approaches improve satisfaction with participation, wheelchair skills and wheelchair use self-efficacy in adults, but the evidence is limited in children. This pilot study aimed to explore the influence of community-based, peer-led, group wheelchair training program (i.e., Seating To Go) on satisfaction with participation (primary outcome), wheelchair skills, and wheelchair use self-efficacy in children and adolescents with cerebral palsy and spina bifida. Methods: A single group pre-post design was used. Invitations were shared online and diffused by clinicians and advocacy and provider groups to recruit a convenience sample of eight pediatric wheelchair users. Participants completed the Seating To Go program in groups that were facilitated by adult wheelchair users. Satisfaction with participation (Wheelchair Outcome Measure-Young People), wheelchair skills (Wheelchair Skills Test), wheelchair use self-efficacy (Wheelchair Use Confidence Scale), and perceived wheelchair skills capacity (Wheelchair Skills Test Questionnaire; proxy rating: parents) were evaluated before and after the Seating To Go program. Descriptive statistics and nonparametric longitudinal data analysis were conducted to explore changes in all outcomes from baseline to post-intervention. Results: Pediatric wheelchair users (ranging in age from 5 to 15 years) and their parents reported statistically significant improvements in satisfaction with participation. The improvements in wheelchair skills and wheelchair confidence were also statistically significant, but not the parents’ perception of their children’s wheelchair skills. Conclusions: A community-based peer-led approach to wheelchair skills training seems promising for improving wheelchair outcomes in pediatric wheelchair users. Further controlled studies with larger samples are warranted.

description: Time delay estimation (TDE) is an important step to identify and locate vibration source. The TDE result can be obtained by cross-correlation method through seeking the maximum correlation peak of two signals. However, the cross-correlation method will induce random error when dealing with the nonstationary signal. We propose a novel time shifting deviation (TSDEV) method to solve this problem, which has been proved to achieve ultrahigh precision localization result in the fiber vibration monitoring system. This paper compares TSDEV method with cross-correlation in detail by simulating TDE process in different conditions, such as signals with arbitrary intercepted length, nonstationary drift and correlated noise. Besides, experimental demonstration has been carried out on 60 km fiber to localize a wide band vibration signal. The typical localization error is 2 m with standard deviation of 21.4 m using TSDEV method. It stands in clear contrast to the result of cross-correlation method, whose localization error is 70 m and the standard deviation is 208.4 m. Compared with cross-correlation method, TSDEV has the same resistance to white noise, but has fewer boundary conditions and better suppression on linear drift or common noise, which leads to more precise TDE results.

description: Chromatin fibers composed of DNA and proteins fold into consecutive loops to form rod-shaped chromosome in mitosis. Although the loop growth dynamics is investigated in several studies, its detailed processes are unclear. Here, we describe the time evolution of the loop length for thermal-driven loop growth processes as an iterative map by calculating physical quantities involved in the processes. We quantify the energy during the chromatin loop formation by calculating the free energies of unlooped and looped chromatins using the Domb-Joyce model of a lattice polymer chain incorporating the bending elasticity for thermal-driven loop growth processes. The excluded volume interaction among loops is integrated by employing the mean-field theory. We compare the loop formation energy with the thermal energy and evaluate the growth of loop length via thermal fluctuation. By assuming the dependence of the excluded volume parameter on the loop length, we construct an iterative map for the loop growth dynamics. The map demonstrates that the growth length of the loop for a single reaction cycle decreases with time to reach the condensin size, where the loop growth dynamics can be less stochastic and be regarded as direct power stroke of condensin as a kind of motor proteins.

description: An adapted deflation preconditioner is employed to accelerate the solution of linear systems resulting from the discretization of fracture mechanics problems with well-conditioned extended/generalized finite elements. The deflation space typically used for linear elasticity problems is enriched with additional vectors, accounting for the enrichment functions used, thus effectively removing low frequency components of the error. To further improve performance, deflation is combined, in a multiplicative way, with a block-Jacobi preconditioner, which removes high frequency components of the error as well as linear dependencies introduced by enrichment. The resulting scheme is tested on a series of non-planar crack propagation problems and compared to alternative linear solvers in terms of performance.
Bivalve reefs from the Upper Triassic of Iran

description: In the Upper Triassic Nayband Formation of east-central Iran, bivalves repeatedly form small patch reefs
on a mid to outer mixed carbonate-siliciclastic ramp in close stratigraphic neighbourhood to coral and coralsponge
reefs. In contrast to other Triassic-Jurassic bivalve-dominated patch reefs, the bivalve reefs of the
Nayband Formation are characterized by a comparatively high diversity of framebuilding taxa. These include
taxa from three different families, i.e., the ostreids Umbostrea emamii, U. iranica and U.? aff. parasiticum,
the prospondylids Newaagia stocklini and Persia monstrosa, and the plicatulids Eoplicatula parvadehensis
and Pseudoplacunopsis asymmetrica. The bivalve reef constructors may have had a competitive advantage
over coral and calcareous sponges in environments characterized by a higher degree of turbidity and/or higher
nutrient contents.

Feeding specializations in Late Triassic fishes

description: The ichthyofauna of the Zorzino Limestone represents an important proof of the richness and variety
reached by bony fishes during the Norian and, at the same time, it testifies the beginning of the faunal
transition which will be realized during the Jurassic. The thousands of specimens and the extraordinary quality
of preservation found in the fossiliferous levels of this unit allowed, in the last years, not only to follow such
a crucial moment in the evolution of vertebrates, but also to reconstruct the mode of life and the trophic
adaptations reached by the different groups, living in the depositional basins. As evidence of this peculiar
evolutionary period, the large predators at the highest trophic levels are still represented by ’primitive’ basal
actinopterygians; on the contrary, the most derived neopterygians specialized in durophagy, a trophic niche
previously almost unexploited by actinopterygians. Within the main trophic categories, anyway, we can find
different morphological specializations, which probably allowed the fishes to exploit most of the available
trophic resources.

Crosscap States in Integrable Field Theories and Spin Chains

description: We study crosscap states in integrable field theories and spin chains in 1+1 dimensions. We derive an exact formula for overlaps between the crosscap state and any excited state in integrable field theories with diagonal scattering. We then compute the crosscap entropy, i.e. the overlap for the ground state, in some examples. In the examples we analyzed, the result turns out to decrease monotonically along the renormalization group flow except in cases where the discrete symmetry is spontaneously broken in the infrared. We next introduce crosscap states in integrable spin chains, and obtain determinant expressions for the overlaps with energy eigenstates. These states are long-range entangled and their entanglement entropy grows linearly until the size of the subregion reaches half the system size. This property is reminiscent of pure-state black holes in holography and makes them interesting for use as initial conditions of quantum quench. As side results, we propose a generalization of Zamolodchikov's staircase model to flows between D-series minimal models, and discuss the relation to fermionic minimal models and the GSO projection.
