description: We investigate the character and role of convection in the atmosphere of a prototypical red giant located close to the red giant branch (RGB) tip with atmospheric parameters, Teff=3660K, log(g)=1.0, [M/H]=0.0. Differential analysis of the atmospheric structures is performed using the 3D hydrodynamical and 1D classical atmosphere models calculated with the CO5BOLD and LHD codes, respectively. All models share identical atmospheric parameters, elemental composition, opacities and equation-of-state. We find that the atmosphere of this particular red giant consists of two rather distinct regions: the lower atmosphere dominated by convective motions and the upper atmosphere dominated by wave activity. Convective motions form a prominent granulation pattern with an intensity contrast (~18%) which is larger than in the solar models (~15%). The upper atmosphere is frequently traversed by fast shock waves, with vertical and horizontal velocities of up to Mach ~2.5 and ~6.0, respectively. The typical diameter of the granules amounts to ~5Gm which translates into ~400 granules covering the whole stellar surface. The turbulent pressure in the giant model contributes up to ~35% to the total (i.e., gas plus turbulent) pressure which shows that it cannot be neglected in stellar atmosphere and evolutionary modeling. However, there exists no combination of the mixing-length parameter and turbulent pressure that would allow to satisfactorily reproduce the 3D temperature-pressure profile with 1D atmosphere models based on a standard formulation of mixing-length theory.

description: BACKGROUND: Malignant pleural effusions (MPEs) are a common complication of advanced cancers, particularly those adjacent to the pleura, such as lung and breast cancer. The pathophysiology of MPE formation remains poorly understood, and although MPEs are routinely used for the diagnosis of breast cancer patients, their composition and biology are poorly understood. It is difficult to distinguish invading malignant cells from resident mesothelial cells and to identify the directionality of interactions between these populations in the pleura. There is a need to characterize the phenotypic diversity of breast cancer cell populations in the pleural microenvironment, and investigate how this varies across patients. METHODS: Here, we used single-cell RNA-sequencing to study the heterogeneity of 10 MPEs from seven metastatic breast cancer patients, including three Miltenyi-enriched samples using a negative selection approach. This dataset of almost 65 000 cells was analysed using integrative approaches to compare heterogeneous cell populations and phenotypes. RESULTS: We identified substantial inter-patient heterogeneity in the composition of cell types (including malignant, mesothelial and immune cell populations), in expression of subtype-specific gene signatures and in copy number aberration patterns, that captured variability across breast cancer cell populations. Within individual MPEs, we distinguished mesothelial cell populations from malignant cells using key markers, the presence of breast cancer subtype expression patterns and copy number aberration patterns. We also identified pleural mesothelial cells expressing a cancer-associated fibroblast-like transcriptomic program that may support cancer growth. CONCLUSIONS: Our dataset presents the first unbiased assessment of breast cancer-associated MPEs at a single cell resolution, providing the community with a valuable resource for the study of MPEs. Our work highlights the molecular and cellular diversity captured in MPEs and motivates the potential use of these clinically relevant biopsies in the development of targeted therapeutics for patients with advanced breast cancer.

Exclusive radiative B-meson decays within the aligned two-Higgs-doublet model

description: In the aligned two-Higgs-doublet model, the alignment of Yukawa matrices in flavour space guarantees the absence of tree-level flavour-changing neutral currents, while allowing at the same time for new sources of CP violation, implying potentially large effects in many low-energy processes. In this work we study the constraints from exclusive radiative $B\to Vγ$ decays, where $V$ denotes a light vector meson. The current experimental data on the CP-averaged branching ratios and the direct CP and isospin asymmetries are analyzed. It is found that, while the branching ratios and direct CP asymmetries do not constrain the parameter space much further compared to the inclusive $B\to X_{s,d} γ$ decays, complementary constraints can be obtained from the isospin asymmetries $Δ(K^*γ)$ and $Δ(ργ)$. In addition, correlations between the various observables in exclusive $B\to Vγ$ and inclusive $B\to X_{s,d} γ$ decays are investigated in detail, and predictions are made for several so far unmeasured observables.

description: Either late autumn this year or latest early next year LHC should have results with 2-3 times the current data which migth give first clues on the couplings of the light narrow resonance. A strategy for measuring deviations from the Standard Model can be based on using the "full" Standard Model, including all available QCD and electroweak higher-order corrections, and supplement it with d= 6 local operators. Their Wilson coefficients are assumed to be small enough that they can be treated at leading order. Examples of the connection of local operators with BSM Lagrangians are presented as well as a discussion of Lagrangians with/without decoupling of heavy degrees of freedom. The whole strategy is critically reviewed in the light of internal consistency.

description: The public goods game is one of the most famous models for studying the evolution of cooperation in sizable groups. The multiplication factor in this game can characterize the investment return from the public good, which may be variable depending on the interactive environment in realistic situations. Instead of using the same universal value, here we consider that the multiplication factor in each group is updated based on the differences between the local and global interactive environments in the spatial public goods game, but meanwhile limited to within a certain range. We find that the adaptive and bounded investment returns can significantly promote cooperation. In particular, full cooperation can be achieved for high feedback strength when appropriate limitation is set for the investment return. Also, we show that the fraction of cooperators in the whole population can become larger if the lower and upper limits of the multiplication factor are increased. Furthermore, in comparison to the traditionally spatial public goods game where the multiplication factor in each group is identical and fixed, we find that cooperation can be better promoted if the multiplication factor is constrained to adjust between one and the group size in our model. Our results highlight the importance of the locally adaptive and bounded investment returns for the emergence and dominance of cooperative behavior in structured populations.

description: The radiation generated by a quantum conductor should be correlated with electrons crossing it. We have measured the correlation between the fluctuations of the high frequency electromagnetic power and the low frequency transport in a tunnel junction. We have explored the regimes where electromagnetic fluctuations correspond to real photons and where they correspond to vacuum at very low temperature. We deduce from our data the intrinsic third moment of quantum shot noise, which appears to be frequency independent.

By using field operators it is possible in U(1) lattice gauge theory to probe directly the electric and magnetic fields. In order to improve the signal-to-noise ratio in the confinement phase, we apply the Lüscher-Weiss multilevel algorithm. Our code is written in CUDA, and we run it in NVIDIA FERMI generation GPU's, in order to achieve the necessary performance for our computations.

Here we present an explicit analytical representation for the rogue waves of the FL equation. This representation is constructed by deriving an appropriate Darboux transformation (DT) and utilizing a Taylor series expansion of the associated breather solution. when certain higher-order nonlinear effects are considered, the propagation of rogue waves in optical fibers is given.

description: Non-binary low-density parity-check codes are robust to various channel impairments. However, based on the existing decoding algorithms, the decoder implementations are expensive because of their excessive computational complexity and memory usage. Based on the combinatorial optimization, we present an approximation method for the check node processing. The simulation results demonstrate that our scheme has small performance loss over the additive white Gaussian noise channel and independent Rayleigh fading channel. Furthermore, the proposed reduced-complexity realization provides significant savings on hardware, so it yields a good performance-complexity tradeoff and can be efficiently implemented.

description: Software reliability is prioritised as the most critical quality attribute. Reliability prediction models participate in the prevention of software failures which can cause vital events and disastrous consequences in safety-critical applications or even in businesses. Predicting reliability during design allows software developers to avoid potential design problems, which can otherwise result in recon?structing an entire system when discovered at later stages of the software development life-cycle. Several reliability models have been built to predict reliability during software development. However, several issues still exist in these models. Current models suffer from a scalability issue referred to as the modeling of large systems. The scalability solutions usually come at a high computational cost, requiring solutions. Secondly, consideration of the nature of concurrent applications in reliability prediction is another issue. We propose a reliability prediction model that enhances scalability by introducing a system-level scenario synthesis mechanism that mitigates complexity. Additionally, the proposed model supports modeling of the nature of concurrent applications through adaption of formal statistical distribution toward scenario combination. The proposed model was evaluated using sensors-based case studies. The experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed model from the view of computational cost reduction compared to similar models. This reduction is the main parameter for scalability enhancement. In addition, the presented work can enable system developers to know up to which load their system will be reliable via observation of the reliabilityvalue in several running scenarios.

description: Generating functions encoding cubic interactions of (partially-)massless higher-spin fields are provided within the ambient-space formalism. They satisfy a system of higher-order partial differential equations that can be explicitly solved due to their factorized form. We find that the number of consistent couplings increases whenever the squares of the field masses take some integer values (in units of the cosmological constant) and satisfy certain conditions. Moreover, it is shown that only the supplemental solutions can give rise to non-Abelian deformations of the gauge symmetries. The presence of these conditions on the masses is a distinctive feature of (A)dS interactions that has in general no direct counterpart in flat space.

description: Lattice results are available for Delta S=2 matrix elements for the first time in full QCD, which improve considerably the status of hadronic uncertainties in K-Kbar mixing with respect to earlier phenomenological studies. Using an average of the ETMC and RBC results, we analyze epsilonK in Natural SUSY. This scenario arises as a consistent BSM framework after the latest results from the LHC. The analysis is improved with respect to previous studies including next-to-leading order matching conditions of order (alpha_s)^3. We derive new bounds for SUSY mass insertions in the scenario with a light third generation and study the implications for squark and gluino masses, compared with direct searches at the LHC. Assuming natural values for the flavor violating SUSY couplings of both chiralities, we find that the sbottom must be heavier than 3 TeV for a gluino mass up to 10 TeV. In this scenario no natural values for squark and gluino masses can satisfy the flavor bounds.

description: Hand hygiene is a cornerstone of infection prevention in healthcare settings, offering a simple yet powerful method to mitigate healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). These infections, caused by pathogens like Clostridium difficile and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), pose significant risks to patient safety and can lead to prolonged hospital stays, increased morbidity, and even mortality. This study examines the effectiveness of hand hygiene programs in hospitals to prevent healthcare-associated infections, which are mainly spread through healthcare workers' hands. An online survey was conducted among hospital staff to assess their awareness and adherence to hand hygiene protocols, including their roles, experience, training, and barriers faced. The findings showed that while hand hygiene programs are effective, challenges like time constraints and forgetfulness remain. The study emphasizes the need for ongoing training and easy access to hygiene materials in healthcare environments. The study presented data through demographic and graphical analysis. The respondents were mostly nurses (76%), followed by smaller percentages of doctors (3%), medical technicians (3%), administrative staff (6%), radiographers (6%), and other healthcare roles. Most participants had over 10 years of experience. Among them, 87% believed that hand hygiene programs in the hospital were effective, citing familiarity and training. They also reported compliance with handwashing practices and observed their colleagues doing the same. However, 40% identified barriers such as lack of time and forgetfulness. Despite this, 93% understood the importance of the protocol and knew where to access hand hygiene materials. The researchers concluded that healthcare workers generally understand the importance of hand hygiene and perform handwashing regularly.

description: We combine star-formation histories derived from observations of high redshift galaxies with measurements of the z~0 relation between gas-phase metallicity, stellar mass, and star formation rate to make an explicit and completely empirical connection between near-field and distant galaxy observations. Our approach relies on two basic assumptions: 1) galaxies' average paths through time in stellar mass vs. star formation rate space are represented by a family of smooth functions that are determined by the galaxies' final stellar mass, and 2) galaxies grow and become enriched with heavy elements such that they always evolve along the mass--metallicity--star formation rate relation. By integrating over these paths, we can track the chemical evolution of stars in galaxies in a model independent way, without the need for explicit assumptions about gas inflow, outflow, or star formation efficiency. Using this approach, we present predictions of stellar metallicity (i.e., O/H) distribution functions for present day star-forming galaxies of different stellar masses and the evolution of the alpha-element stellar metallicity-mass relation since z~1. The metallicity distribution functions are fairly well described as Gaussians, truncated at high metallicity, with power-law tails to low metallicity. We find that the stellar metallicity distribution for Milky Way mass galaxies is in reasonable agreement with observations for our Galaxy, and that the predicted stellar mass vs. mean stellar metallicity relation at z=0 agrees quite well with results derived from galaxy surveys. This validates the assumptions that are implicit in our simple approach. Upcoming observations will further test these assumptions and their range of validity, by measuring the mean stellar mass-metallicity relation up to z~1, and by measuring the stellar metallicity distributions over a range of galaxy masses.

Ergänzend werden aus einer gänzlich anderen Sicht, der der Geomorphologie, Standortbedingungen für Burgen auf dem Zechsteinsporn diskutiert. Zur Rekonstruktion des ursprünglichen Reliefs werden Daten aus Bohrarchiven und historischen Bauplänen herangezogen. Mit Hilfe der Rekonstruktion des Grabensystems, der Wege auf und zu dem Sporn werden die Aussagen zur Zuordnung von Burgen zu Standorten auf Widersprüche untersucht. Zur Klärung der Frage, in welchen Zeiträumen auf dem Areal der Ludwigsburg mit festen Anlagen zu rechnen ist, wurden Baupläne auf Relikte von Vorgängerbauten durchmustert. Durch Kombination artverschiedener Ansätze und unterschiedlicher Quellengattungen wird versucht, den Grad der Wahrscheinlichkeit der Aussagen zu erhöhen.

description: Motivated by the algebraic open-closed string models, we introduce and discuss an infinite-dimensional counterpart of the open-closed Hurwitz theory describing branching coverings generated both by the compact oriented surfaces and by the foam surfaces. We manifestly construct the corresponding infinite-dimensional equipped Cardy-Frobenius algebra, with the closed and open sectors are represented by conjugation classes of permutations and the pairs of permutations, i.e. by the algebra of Young diagrams and bipartite graphes respectively.

description: The rapid neutron capture process (r-process) is thought to be responsible for the creation of more than half of all elements beyond iron. The scientific challenges to understanding the origin of the heavy elements beyond iron lie in both the uncertainties associated with astrophysical conditions that are needed to allow an r-process to occur and a vast lack of knowledge about the properties of nuclei far from stability. There is great global competition to access and measure the most exotic nuclei that existing facilities can reach, while simultaneously building new, more powerful accelerators to make even more exotic nuclei. This work is an attempt to determine the most crucial nuclear masses to measure using an r-process simulation code and several mass models (FRDM, Duflo-Zuker, and HFB-21). The most important nuclear masses to measure are determined by the changes in the resulting r-process abundances. Nuclei around the closed shells near N=50, 82, and 126 have the largest impact on r-process abundances irrespective of the mass models used.

description: The CoGeNT and CRESST WIMP direct detection experiments have recently observed excesses of nuclear recoil events, while the DAMA/LIBRA experiment has a long standing annual modulation signal. It has been suggested that these excesses may be due to light mass, m_chi ~ 5-10 GeV, WIMPs. The Earth's motion with respect to the Galactic rest frame leads to a directional dependence in the WIMP scattering rate, providing a powerful signal of the Galactic origin of any recoil excess. We investigate whether direct detection experiments with directional sensitivity have the potential to observe this anisotropic scattering rate with the elastically scattering light WIMPs proposed to explain the observed excesses. We find that the number of recoils required to detect an anisotropic signal from light WIMPs at 5 sigma significance varies from 7 to more than 190 over the set of target nuclei and energy thresholds expected for directional detectors. Smaller numbers arise from configurations where the detector is only sensitive to recoils from the highest speed, and hence most anisotropic, WIMPs. However, the event rate above threshold is very small in these cases, leading to the need for large experimental exposures to accumulate even a small number of events. To account for this sensitivity to the tail of the WIMP velocity distribution, whose shape is not well known, we consider two exemplar halo models spanning the range of possibilities. We also note that for an accurate calculation the Earth's orbital speed must be averaged over. We find that the exposures required to detect 10 GeV WIMPs at a WIMP-proton cross-section of 10^-4 pb are of order 10^3 kg day for a 20 keV energy threshold, within reach of planned directional detectors. Lower WIMP masses require higher exposures and/or lower energy thresholds for detection.

Partially monotone tensor spline estimation of the joint distribution function with bivariate current status data

description: The analysis of the joint cumulative distribution function (CDF) with bivariate event time data is a challenging problem both theoretically and numerically. This paper develops a tensor spline-based sieve maximum likelihood estimation method to estimate the joint CDF with bivariate current status data. The I-splines are used to approximate the joint CDF in order to simplify the numerical computation of a constrained maximum likelihood estimation problem. The generalized gradient projection algorithm is used to compute the constrained optimization problem. Based on the properties of B-spline basis functions it is shown that the proposed tensor spline-based nonparametric sieve maximum likelihood estimator is consistent with a rate of convergence potentially better than $n^{1/3}$ under some mild regularity conditions. The simulation studies with moderate sample sizes are carried out to demonstrate that the finite sample performance of the proposed estimator is generally satisfactory.

description: We measured the reduced partition function ratios for iron isotopes in goethite FeO(OH), potassium-jarosite KFe3(SO4)2(OH)6, and hydronium-jarosite (H3O)Fe3(SO4)2(OH)6, by Nuclear Resonant Inelastic X-Ray Scattering (NRIXS, also known as Nuclear Resonance Vibrational Spectroscopy -NRVS- or Nuclear Inelastic Scattering -NIS) at the Advanced Photon Source. These measurements were made on synthetic minerals enriched in 57Fe. A new method (i.e., the general moment approach) is presented to calculate β-factors from the moments of the NRIXS spectrum S(E). The first term in the moment expansion controls iron isotopic fractionation at high temperature and corresponds to the mean force constant of the iron bonds, a quantity that is readily measured and often reported in NRIXS studies.

description: We investigate the role of convection in the formation of atomic and molecular lines in the atmosphere of a red giant star. For this purpose we study the formation properties of spectral lines that belong to a number of astrophysically important tracer elements, including neutral and singly ionized atoms, and molecules. We focus our investigation on a prototypical red giant located close to the red giant branch (RGB) tip (Teff=3660K, logg=1.0, [M/H]=0.0). We used two types of model atmospheres, 3D hydrodynamical and classical 1D, calculated with the CO5BOLD and LHD stellar atmosphere codes, respectively. Both codes share the same atmospheric parameters, chemical composition, equation of state, and opacities, which allowed us to make a strictly differential comparison between the line formation properties predicted in 3D and 1D. The influence of convection on the spectral line formation was assessed with the aid of 3D-1D abundance corrections, which measure the difference between the abundances of chemical species derived with the 3D hydrodynamical and 1D classical model atmospheres. We find that convection plays a significant role in the spectral line formation in this particular red giant. The derived 3D-1D abundance corrections rarely exceed \pm0.1 dex when lines of neutral atoms and molecules are considered, which is in line with the previous findings for solar-metallicity red giants located on the lower RGB. The situation is different with lines that belong to ionized atoms, or to neutral atoms with high ionization potential. In both cases, the corrections for high-excitation lines (χ>8 eV) may amount to Δ_3D-1D ~ -0.4 dex. The 3D--1D abundance corrections generally show a significant wavelength dependence; in most cases they are smaller in the near-infrared, at 1600-2500 nm.

description: A theory of Rydberg atom interactions is used to derive analytical forms for the spin wave pair correlation function in laser-excited cold-atom vapors. This function controls the quantum statistics of light emission from dense, inhomogeneous clouds of cold atoms of various spatial dimensionalities. The results yield distinctive scaling behaviors on the microsecond timescale, including generalized exponential decay. A detailed comparison is presented with a recent experiment on a cigar-shaped atomic ensemble [Y. Dudin and A. Kuzmich, Science 336, 887 (2012)], in which Rb atoms are excited to a set of Rydberg levels.

description: Against the ‘normative concept of the networked city’, urban studies and infrastructure research have seen a shift towards investigations beyond the network that engage with the post-networked city, heterogeneous infrastructures, and other situations ‘on, off, below and beyond’ the grid, especially in southern cities. Expanding on debates around southern urbanisms and their socio-technical infrastructures, we explore a ubiquitous yet rarely discussed element of contemporary urban infrastructures: storage. In Nairobi, a city shaped by infrastructural heterogeneity and uncertainty, households of all backgrounds and sizes store water and electricity within various constellations of actors, practices and artefacts. We show how domestic storage, its artefacts and practices cumulate in a storage city that is not opposed to a networked or post-networked city but rather entangled with it. We present domestic storage as crucial infrastructure to the socio-technical functioning of Nairobi, discuss diverse storage artefacts and practices, and highlight how a focus on storage can contribute to re-imaginings of infrastructural articulations beyond networks and flows.
