description: The lifetimes of the $2^+_1$, the $2^+_2$ and the $3^-_1$ states of $^{210}$Po have been measured in the $^{208}$Pb($^{12}$C,$^{10}$Be)$^{210}$Po transfer reaction by the Doppler-shift attenuation method. The results for the lifetime of the $2^+_1$ state is about three times shorter than the adopted value. However, the new value still does not allow for consistent description of the properties of the yrast $2^+_1$, $4^+_1$, $6^+_1$, and $8^+_1$ states of $^{210}$Po in the framework of nuclear shell models. The Quasi-particle Phonon Model (QPM) calculations also cannot overcome this problem thus indicating the existence of a peculiarity which is neglected in both theoretical approaches.

10.3 More Than Sum of its Parts: the Biodiversity Heritage Library as a Case Study in Open Science
Creators: name: Smith, Jane E.
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2015
Subjects: BHL, global, Open Science, case study

description: This case study demonstrates how the Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL) partners have worked collaboratively to make biodiversity literature available as part of a global community. BHL (www.biodiversitylibrary.org) provides scientists, scholars and the public free and open access to nearly 46 million pages of digitised text and grey literature on biodiversity. BHL is mature and sustainable as a virtual organisation and digital repository. It supports open science and wider cultural uses by continuing to add relevant content, curating that content and enhancing access through the development and application of innovative tools. The availability and reusability of the scientific data accessible via BHL ranges from taxonomic study and training, biodiversity research, conservation and maintenance of diverse ecosystems, animal and plant disease control through to audiences beyond core science constituencies, including historical and cultural research on science, exploration and global commerce. Innovative services include data mining and taxonomic name finding so that the data that is of most value to scientists on that page are extracted from the OCR text (taxonomic names). An example of support for wider open use of content is the Art of Life Project supporting the extraction of illustrations within pages. Scientists are using BHL content during training courses and while on fieldwork. Virtual exhibitions of curated content are available, on broad interest topics such as exploration and spices. Working together has allowed partners to combine and link their collections in ways that provide a more complete research resource. Collaboration on standards, best practices and infrastructure solutions has produced better images, metadata and support tools, achievement of long-term digital storage solutions and the sharing and cost reduction of scanning operations. Jane Smith joined the Natural History Museum in 2006 as Head of Library Collections and Services, and has been Head of the Department of Library and Archives since September 2012. The NHM Library and Archives (www.nhm.ac.uk/ library) holds one of the world’s largest natural history collections of published works and original material, including manuscripts, maps and scientific artworks. She is overseeing the Library and Archive programme to digitise those collections and this includes leading the NHM’s contribution to the Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL). Most of her career has been spent in medical and scientific research libraries where her roles have focused on developing services that widen access to collections, including digitisation, and providing new ways to support researchers has underpinned all the Library projects she has been involved in.

description: We compute the SUSY effective hamiltonian that describes the |ΔS|=1 semileptonic decays of tau leptons. We provide analytical expressions for supersymmetric contribution to tau --> u bar{s} nu_{tau} transition in mass insertion approximation. We show that SUSY contributions may enhance the CP asymmetry of tau --> K pi nu_{tau} decays by several orders of magnitude than the standard model expectations. However, the resulting asymmetry is still well below the current experimental limits obtained by CLEO collaborations. We emphasize that measuring CP rate asymmetry in this decay larger than 10^{-6} would be a clear evidence of physics beyond the supersymmetric extensions of the standard model.

description: Diamond Si is a semiconductor with an indirect band gap that is the basis of modern semiconductor technology. Although many metastable forms of Si were observed using diamond anvil cells for compression and chemical precursors for synthesis, no metallic phase at ambient conditions has been reported thus far. Here we report the prediction of pure metallic Si allotropes with open channels at ambient pressure, unlike a cubic diamond structure in covalent bonding networks. The metallic phase termed P6/m-Si6 can be obtained by removing Na after pressure release from a novel Na-Si clathrate called P6/m-NaSi6, which is discovered through first-principles study at high pressure. We confirm that both P6/m-NaSi6 and P6/m-Si6 are stable and superconducting with the critical temperatures of about 13 and 12 K at ambient pressure, respectively. The discovery of new Na-Si and Si clathrate structures presents the possibility of exploring new exotic allotropes useful for Si-based devices.

description: This paper discusses the integration of knowledge bases and shape grammars for the generation of building models, covering interaction, system, and implementation. Knowledge-based and generative systems are combined to construct a method for characterizing existing buildings, in particular, their interior layouts based on exterior features and certain other parameters such as location and real dimensions. The knowledge-based model contains information about spatial use, organization, elements, and contextual information, with the shape grammar principally containing style rules. Buildings are analyzed and layouts are generated through communication and interaction between these two systems. The benefit of using an interactive system is that the complementary properties of the two schemes are employed to strengthen the overall process. Ontologies capture knowledge relating to architectural design principles, building anatomy, structure, and systems. Shape grammar rules embody change through geometric manipulation and transformation. Existing buildings are analyzed using this approach, and three-dimensional models are automatically generated. Two particular building types, the vernacular rowhouse and high-rise apartment building, both from Baltimore, Maryland, are presented to illustrate the process and for comparing the utilized methodologies.

description: We studied the behaviour of the optical afterglow lightcurves of a sample of 24 Gamma--Ray Bursts (GRBs) with known redshift and published estimates of the optical extinction in the source frame, detected before the SWIFT satellite launch. We found an unexpected clustering of the optical luminosities at 12 hours in the source frame. The distribution of the optical luminosities is narrower than the distribution of X-ray luminosities at the same time. Few (3) bursts stand apart from the main optical distribution, being fainter by a factor of about 15. We also analysed the optical luminosities of the SWIFT burst with known redshift finding that the luminosity distribution is similar to the pre SWIFT GRBs one, even if they have a different mean redshift. These results can suggest the existence of a family of intrinsically optically under--luminous dark GRBs.

description: Building industry is closely related to current energy and environmental issues. Several green building codes and rating systems addressing the problems have been developed. Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system is recognized as one of the effective and widely adopted commercial building standards. LEED buildings were investigated in several green city and green building studies but only used as instances in static matrices. These studies were not able to answer the question why a particular city favors LEED. However, in this paper, three commonly used machine learning algorithms – Linear Regression, Locally Weighted Regression and Support Vector Regression (SVR) – are compared and SVR is used to investigate, discover and evaluate the variables that could influence LEED building markets in U.S. East Coast cities. Machine learning models are first created and optimized with the features of city geography, demography, economy, higher education and policy. Then SVR model identifies the key factors by dynamic self-training and model-tuning using the dataset. Via optimization, the correlation coefficient between the model's prediction and actual value is 0.79. The result suggests that population and policy can be important factors for developing LEED buildings. It is also interesting that higher education institutions, especially accredited architecture schools could also be driving forces for LEED commercial building markets in East Coast cities.

description: My uncles, Frank and Leonard Morgan, were gas fitters in 1940. This was a "protected occupation" so neither of them were called up until 1941. Frank joined the Royal Engineers, and Leonard went into the Royal Artillery. When Frank went into a nursing home at the age of 92, I cleared out his house and found some photos of him standing by a grave in a desert cemetery. He then told me that he had gone out to El Alamein for the 25th and 50th Anniversaries of the Battle of El Alamein. I asked who was buried there, and he told me it was Sergeant Weller. As far as I know, I was the only person he told the story to. The night before the Battle Frank's unit had gone into the minefield to clear a path wide enough for the tanks to go through. There were a group of them in the lorry, and Sergeant Weller told the driver to pull over to the left hand side of the track. He told Frank and a few other soldiers to jump out and start work, as they had done it before. The lorry travelled a bit further into the minefield and Sgt Weller and the other soldiers turned off to the right hand side of the track - and went over a land mine. Frank never forgot Sergeant Weller and paid his respects at his grave whenever he went there. He also took part in Operation Market Garden, the attempt to rescue a group of parachutists who had been dropped on the wrong side of the Rhine. His unit spent the night rowing backwards and forwards over the river picking up the unfortunate parachutists under constant fire from the German artillery. The younger uncle, Leonard, was at the Battle of The Bulge and got quite upset when he saw the film of the same name, which he said made it look as if the Americans had won the battle on their own!

description: The combination of ferromagnets with topological superconductors or insulators allows for new phases of matter that support excitations such as chiral edge modes and Majorana fermions. EuS, a wide-band-gap ferromagnetic insulator with a Curie temperature around 16 K, and SrTiO$_3$ (STO), an important substrate for engineering heterostructures, may support these phases. We present scanning superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) measurements of EuS grown epitaxially on STO that reveal micron-scale variations in ferromagnetism and paramagnetism. These variations are oriented along the STO crystal axes and only change their configuration upon thermal cycling above the STO cubic-to-tetragonal structural transition temperature at 105 K, indicating that the observed magnetic features are due to coupling between EuS and the STO tetragonal structure. We speculate that the STO tetragonal distortions may strain the EuS, altering the magnetic anisotropy on a micron-scale. This result demonstrates that local variation in the induced magnetic order from EuS grown on STO needs to be considered when engineering new phases of matter that require spatially homogeneous exchange.

description: Three hundred German bombers fly up the silver ribbon of the Thames to destroy London. Our Spitfire and Hurricane fighters meet them in the skies above. It's September 1940 and the Blitz is about to start. The Battle of Britain against Nazi Germany is at its height. We have been at war since September 1939 and this is an effort to force Britain to surrender. A threat of invasion as the skies burn red above the city; a massive conflagration as night after night the bombers return leaving behind piles of debris, skeleton buildings and many injured or dead. Roger, my elder brother, is six months old and he and my parents stay put in the East End of London. I am not yet born. My father is in the Metropolitan Police Force - a "reserved occupation" in wartime, and he labours long hours in the bombed buildings of Mile End, Limehouse and Bow trying to help the injured, bring out the dead, direct the rescue teams and stop the looting. Our house is about two miles from North Woolwich where the Royal Albert Docks were constantly under bombardment. Our road does not take a direct hit until June 1944 when we lose all the houses at the top of the road and the White Horse public house. The front of the pub is left standing, while the back is completely destroyed. Seven people were killed, fifteen seriously injured and one thousand homes damaged. The pub is not rebuilt until 1965, the bomb site a playground for adventurous children.Our windows are blown out and Mum takes Roger and me off to Cornwall to stay with Aunt Margaret, my father's sister, for three weeks while they are replaced. Aunt Margaret keeps chickens (which are allowed) and a pig (which is not). I have only one other war-time memory. The night sky is bisected by bright search lights as the air-raid sirens urge us underground. Down into the Anderson shelter we go. I have a hot-water bottle and Teddy Brown Eyes clutched in my arms as Mum tucks me into a small bunk. Our black and white cat Purr-kins is somewhere underfoot. It is damp, cobwebby and smells stale. I am only two years old, so it is an adventure and I am not afraid.When peace is announced we have a wonderful street party with red, white and blue bunting and silly crepe paper hats. There are dreary days of austerity, making-do and mending, and rationing is still in force. Food parcels continue to come in from our commonwealth friends, tins of pineapple, bags of sugar and packets of sultanas from Cousin Dora in Australia. When sweets finally come "off ration" five years after war has ended, I gorge on liquorice all-sorts and make myself sick.

description: The Earth and other rocky bodies in the inner solar system contain significantly less carbon than the primordial materials that seeded their formation. These carbon-poor objects include the parent bodies of primitive meteorites, suggesting that at least one process responsible for solid-phase carbon depletion was active prior to the early stages of planet formation. Potential mechanisms include the erosion of carbonaceous materials by photons or atomic oxygen in the surface layers of the protoplanetary disk. Under photochemically generated favorable conditions, these reactions can deplete the near-surface abundance of carbon grains and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by several orders of magnitude on short timescales relative to the lifetime of the disk out to radii of ~20-100+ au from the central star depending on the form of refractory carbon present. Due to the reliance of destruction mechanisms on a high influx of photons, the extent of refractory carbon depletion is quite sensitive to the disk's internal radiation field. Dust transport within the disk is required to affect the composition of the midplane. In our current model of a passive, constant-alpha disk, where alpha = 0.01, carbon grains can be turbulently lofted into the destructive surface layers and depleted out to radii of ~3-10 au for 0.1-1 um grains. Smaller grains can be cleared out of the planet-forming region completely. Destruction may be more effective in an actively accreting disk or when considering individual grain trajectories in non-idealized disks.

description: It is shown that quark mass dependence induced by one loop corrections to the Breit-Fermi spin-dependent one gluon exchange potential permit an accurate determination of heavy-light meson masses. Thus the $D_s(2317)$ is a canonical $c\bar s$ meson in this scenario. The multiplet splitting relationship of chiral doublet models, $M(1^+)-M(1^-) = M(0^+) -M(0^-)$, holds to good accuracy in the $D$ and $D_s$ systems, but is accidental. Radiative transitions and bottom flavoured meson masses are discussed.

description: We compute the bulk viscosity zeta of high-temperature QCD to leading order in powers of the running coupling alpha_s(T). We find that it is negligible compared to shear viscosity eta for any alpha_s that might reasonably be considered small. The physics of bulk viscosity in QCD is a bit different than in scalar phi^4 theory. In particular, unlike in scalar theory, we find that an old, crude estimate of zeta as 15 ((1/3)-v_s^2)^2 eta gives the correct order of magnitude, where v_s is the speed of sound. We also find that leading-log expansions of our result for zeta are not accurate except at very small coupling.

description: Abstract: "We describe an extremely simple paradigm that we have used to explore the graphic qualities of recursive forms, forms developed by recursively replicating a motif. Our emphasis is on form exploration, as opposed to form generation, which has been the focus of related work in this area. In spite of the simplicity of the paradigm, an enormous variety of forms and phenomena can be explored with it, including spirals, branching structures, plane symmetries and tilings, 'reptiles', iterated function systems, space-filling curves, 'squigs', meanders, textures, phylotaxis and organic forms.

Get with the program : common fallacies in critiques of computer-aided architectural design

description: Abstract: "This paper introduces four common fallacies that are often developed explicitly or implied when approaches toward computer-aided architectural design are criticized from a broader 'philosophical' perspective. It suggests what the author considers more fruitful directions for research in connection with the issues raised. The first two fallacies are very general. The first of these treats design as a monolithic, indivisible process that cannot be decomposed and thus partially supported. The second one insists that computer aids support current practice as it stands and rejects approaches that challenge that practice. The last two fallacies are very specific. The first of these occurs when shape grammars and related mechanisms are criticized for being based on a 'linguistic analogy'. The last one deals with a specific version of appeals to authority that treats Heidegger as the ultimate arbiter in resolving philosophical issues in connection with computer-aided architectural design."

description: Linguistic analysis of protein sequences is an underexploited technique. Here, we capitalize on the concept of the lipogram to characterize sequences at the proteome levels. A lipogram is a literary composition which omits one or more letters. A protein lipogram likewise omits one or more types of amino acid. In this article, we establish a usable terminology for the decomposition of a sequence collection in terms of the lipogram. Next, we characterize Uniref50 using a lipogram decomposition. At the global level, protein lipograms exhibit power-law properties. A clear correlation with metabolic cost is seen. Finally, we use the lipogram construction to differentiate proteomes between the four branches of the tree-of-life: archaea, bacteria, eukaryotes and viruses. We conclude from this pilot study that the lipogram demonstrates considerable potential as an additional tool for sequence analysis and proteome classification.

description: This paper considers coordinated linear precoding in downlink multicell multiuser orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) network. A less-complex, fast and provably convergent algorithm that maximizes the weighted sum-rate with per base station (BS) transmit power constraint is formulated. We approximate the nonconvex weighted sum- rate maximization (WSRM) problem with a solvable convex form by means of sequential parametric convex approximation (SPCA) approach. The second order cone program (SOCP) formulations of the objective function and constraints of the optimization problem are derived through proper change of vari- ables, first order linear approximation and hyperbolic constraints transformation, etc. The algorithm converges to the suboptimal solution taking fewer number of iterations in comparison to other known iterative WSRM algorithms. Finally, numerical results are presented to justify the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed algorithm.

description: Non-communicable disease are the leading causes of death in developed and developing countries worldwide (1). Nepal is an example of this paradigm - from 2005 to 2015, the ischemic heart disease increased around 25.3% and brain vascular disease increased 25.7%. (2) The April and May 2015 earthquakes imposed critical social and epidemiological pressures, resulting in critical lifestyle changes, namely regarding cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors.(3) Various organisations provided support to these people and engaged in various activities aiming to opportunistically improve this CVD burden. The aim of this study was to appraise the prevalence of CVD risk factors and health behaviours in two cohorts of a native Nepalese population, with a common origin from a remote village that were separated in two groups after the incidents of the May 2015 earthquake, using a Propensity Score Matching (PSM) analysis.

Amplitude Saturation in Beta Cephei Models - Preliminary Results

description: Using nonlinear hydrocodes we have calculated single mode saturation amplitudes for beta Cephei models. Predicted saturation amplitudes are systematically higher than amplitudes observed in beta Cephei variables, even in monoperiodic ones. We argue that collective saturation of the pulsation instability by a dozen or so acoustic modes brings the theoretical amplitudes to the observed level.

description: We show that the $Ω_b - Ω_{DM}$ coincidence can naturally be explained in a framework where axino cold dark matter is predominantly produced in non-thermal processes involving decays of Q-balls formed in Affleck-Dinebaryogenesis. In this approach the similarity between $Ω_b$ and $Ω_{DM}$ is a direct consequence of the (sub-)GeV scale of the mass of the axino.

description: Multi-frequency 1.7, 5 and 8.4-GHz VLBA observations of a radio-loud broad absorption line (BAL) quasar 1045+352 are presented. It is a young compact steep spectrum (CSS) object and its asymmetric, two-sided morphology on a scale of several hundred parsecs, extending in two different directions, may suggest intermittent activity. The young age and unusual morphology of 1045+352 are arguments in favour of an evolution scenario for BAL quasars, in which the BAL features appear at a very early stage of their evolution.

Pitfalls of iterative pole mass calculation in electroweak multiplets

description: The radiatively-induced mass splitting between components of an electroweak multiplet is typically of order 100 MeV. This is sufficient to endow the charged components with macroscopically-observable lifetimes, and ensure an electrically-neutral dark matter particle. We show that a commonly used iterative procedure to compute radiatively-corrected pole masses can lead to very different mass splittings than a non-iterative calculation at the same loop order. By estimating the uncertainties of the two one-loop results, we show that the iterative procedure is significantly more sensitive to the choice of renormalisation scale and gauge parameter than the non-iterative method. This can cause the lifetime of the charged component to vary by up to 12 orders of magnitude if iteration is employed. We show that individual pole masses exhibit similar scale-dependence regardless of the procedure, but that the leading scale-dependent terms cancel when computing the mass splitting if and only if the non-iterative procedure is employed. We show that this behaviour persists at two-loop order: the precision of the mass splitting improves in the non-iterative approach, but our results suggest that higher-order corrections do not reduce the uncertainty in the iterative calculation enough to resolve the problem at two-loop order. We conclude that the iterative procedure should not be used for computing pole masses in situations where electroweak mass splittings are phenomenologically relevant.

description: Thirteen different novel heterocyclic chalcones were synthesized using cycloaddition and Claisen–Schmidt condensation reactions. These newly synthesized compounds were characterized by their spectral studies and structure of (E)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1-(5-methyl-1-(pyridin-3-yl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)prop-2-en-1-one (4h) was also evidenced by single crystal X-ray studies. These compounds were evaluated for antibacterial activities against seven bacterial strains in vitro. Compounds 4b and 4c containing 4-fluoro and 4-chloro groups have shown remarkable inhibition as showed by the standard drug ciprofloxacin against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, respectively. Another compound 4k containing 3,4,5-trimethoxy group also showed similar activity against both these strains. Beside these three potential compounds 4b, 4c, 4k, one more compound 4g containing 4-methyl group showed equivalent inhibition as that of standard drug against E. coli. These categories of compounds are therefore good candidates for developing new effective antibacterial in future.

description: We report on the first XMM-Newton observation of the bright Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 galaxy Mrk 110. We find a narrow Fe K fluorescent line, a broad component FWHM ~ 16500 km/s of the OVII triplet, either due to infall motions or gravitational redshift effects in the vicinity of the central black hole, a Comptonized accretion disc layer, and a strong starburst component. If the broad redshifted soft X-ray components are due to gravitational redshift effects, the distance of the line emitting regions ranges between about 0.2 and 1 light day with respect to the central black hole.
