The Her-Lyr assoc., a nearby young MG, contains a few tens of ZAMS stars of SpT F to M. The existence and the properties of the Her-Lyr assoc. are controversial and discussed in the literature. The present work reassesses properties and the member list of Her-Lyr assoc., based on kinematics and age. Many objects form multiple systems or have low-mass compani

We study the dynamics of holes created in vertically vibrated dense suspensions and viscous Newtonian liquids. We find that all holes oscillate with the driving frequency, with a phase shift of $π/2$. In Newtonian liquids holes always close, while in suspensions holes may grow in time. We present a lubrication model for the closure of holes which is in good

We demonstrate serious misrepresentation of existing experimental data and important omissions in the List of references in the paper [1]. We demonstrate that what is called in [1] total photoionization cross-section is in fact a partial photoionization cross-section. We demonstrate that long before [1] and presented there experimental data for photoionizati

Metagenomics enables the reconstruction of microbial genomes in complex microbial communities without the need for culturing. Since assembly typically results in fragmented genomes the grouping of genome fragments (contigs) belonging to the same genome, a process referred to as binning, remains a major informatics challenge. Here we present CONCOCT, a comput

The Diophantine equation (x^n-1)/(x-1)=y^q has four known solutions in integers x, y, q and n with |x|, |y|, q > 1 and n > 2. Whilst we expect that there are, in fact, no more solutions, such a result is well beyond current technology. In this paper, we prove that if (x,y,n,q) is a solution to this equation, then n has three or fewer prime divisors, counted

Voice search is becoming a popular mode for interacting with search engines. As a result, research has gone into building better voice transcription engines, interfaces, and search engines that better handle inherent verbosity of queries. However, when one considers its use by non- native speakers of English, another aspect that becomes important is the form

We analyze the steady fluid flow in a porous medium containing a network of thin fissures i.e. width $\mathcal{O}(ε)$, where all the cracks are generated by the rigid translation of a continuous piecewise $C^{1}$ functions in a fixed direction. The phenomenon is modeled in mixed variational formulation, using the stationary Darcy's law and setting coeffi

This paper presents an effective formulation to study the response of laminated composites based on isogeometric approach (IGA) and Carrera unified formulation (CUF). The IGA utilizes the non-uniform rational B-spline (NURBS) functions which allows to construct higher order smooth functions with less computational effort. The static bending and the free vibr

The singularity structure of solutions of a class of Hamiltonian systems of ordinary differential equations in two dependent variables is studied. It is shown that for any solution, all movable singularities, obtained by analytic continuation along a rectifiable curve, are at most algebraic branch points.

Molecular dynamics has been widely used to numerically solve equation of motion of classical many-particle system. It can be used to simulate many systems including biophysics, whose complexity level is determined by the involved elements. Based on this method, a numerical model had been constructed to mimic the behaviour of malaria-infected red blood cells

In this paper, we introduce a class of rings in which every nilpotent element is central. This class of rings generalizes so-called reduced rings. A ring $R$ is called {\it central reduced} if every nilpotent element of $R$ is central. For a ring $R$, we prove that $R$ is central reduced if and only if $R[x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_n]$ is central reduced if and only i

We study the inverse spectral problem for the Schrödinger operator $H$ on the two-dimensional torus with even magnetic field $B(x)$ and even electric potential $V(x)$. V.Guillemin [11] proved that the spectrum of $H$ determines $B(x)$ and $V(x)$. A simple proof of Guillemin's results was given by the authors in [3]. In the present paper we consider gauge

The essence of levitation technology is the countervailing of gravity. It is known that an ultrasound standing wave is capable of suspending small particles at its sound pressure nodes. The acoustic axis of the ultrasound beam in conventional studies was parallel to the gravitational force, and the levitated objects were manipulated along the fixed axis (i.e

Water clusters are known to form through hydrogen bonding. However, this study shows that the formation of very small water clusters significantly deviates from this mechanism and instead involves both hydrogen bonding and electron delocalization. Our density functional theory calculations show that small water rings (H2O)n of n=3 or 4 show strong electron d

The physiology of voltage gated ion channels is complex and insights into their gating mechanism is incomplete. Their function is best represented by Markov models with relatively large number of distinct states that are connected by thermodynamically feasible transitions. On the other hand, popular models such as the one of Hodgkin and Huxley have empirical

Currently the half-life of 195Os is listed as unknown in most databases because the value of the only available measurement had been reassigned. We argue that the original assignment is correct and re-evaluate the half-life of 195Os to be 6.5(11)min, consistent with the original measurement. We also suggest to reassign the half-life of 195Ir to 2.29(17)h.

For any matrix A in R^(m x n) of rank ρ, we present a probability distribution over the entries of A (the element-wise leverage scores of equation (2)) that reveals the most influential entries in the matrix. From a theoretical perspective, we prove that sampling at most s = O ((m + n) ρ^2 ln (m + n)) entries of the matrix (see eqn. (3) for the precise value

Generalized beams of light that are made to turn inside out, creating black nodal areas of total destructive interference are described.

Let $\A$ be an algebra and $σ$ an automorphism of $\A$. A linear map $d$ of $\A$ is called a $σ$-derivation of $\A$ if $d(xy) = d(x)y + σ(x)d(y)$, for all $x, y \in \A$. A bilinear map $D: \A \times \A \to \A$ is said to be a $σ$-biderivation of $\A$ if it is a $σ$-derivation in each component. An additive map $Θ$ of $\A$ is $σ$-commuting if it satisfies $Θ(

In cosparse analysis compressive sensing (CS), one seeks to estimate a non-sparse signal vector from noisy sub-Nyquist linear measurements by exploiting the knowledge that a given linear transform of the signal is cosparse, i.e., has sufficiently many zeros.

There are two main directions in this paper. One is to find sufficient conditions to ensure the existence of weak solutions to thermoelectric problems. At the steady-state, these problems consist by a coupled system of elliptic equations of the divergence form, commonly accomplished with nonlinear radiation-type conditions on at least on a nonempty part of t

The analysis of count data is commonly done using Poisson models. Negative binomial models are a straightforward and readily motivated generalization for the case of overdispersed data, i.e., when the observed variance is greater than expected under a Poissonian model. Rate and overdispersion parameters then need to be considered jointly, which in general is

An extension of Penrose's singularity theorem is proved for spacetimes where black holes are allowed to form from non-singular initial data. With standard assumptions about the spacetime, and assuming the existence of a trapped surface which lies outside of black hole horizons and is not completely surrounded by horizons, we show that the spacetime regio

A practical use of the entanglement entropy in a 1d quantum system is to identify the conformal field theory describing its critical behavior. It is exactly $(c/3)\ln \ell$ for an interval of length $\ell$ in an infinite system, where $c$ is the central charge of the conformal field theory. Here we define the geometric mutual information, an analogous quanti

We study a boundary value problem with an integral constraint that arises from the modelings of species competition proposed by Lou and Ni in \cite{LN2}.

The simplest extension of the Two Higgs Doublet Model is the addition of a real scalar singlet, S. The effects of mixing between the singlet and the doublets can be manifested in two ways. It can modify the couplings of the 126 GeV Higgs boson, h, and it can lead to direct detection of the heavy Higgs at the LHC. In this paper, we show that in the type-I mod

A novel block prior is proposed for adaptive Bayesian estimation. The prior does not depend on the smoothness of the function or the sample size. It puts sufficient prior mass near the true signal and automatically concentrates on its effective dimension.

The Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) effect is a striking demonstration of destructive quantum interference between pairs of indistinguishable bosons, realised so far only with massless photons.

For the additive real BSS machines using only constants 0 and 1 and order tests we consider the corresponding Turing reducibility and characterize some semi-decidable decision problems over the reals.

Trumpler 20 is an old open cluster (OC) located toward the Galactic centre, at about 3 kpc from the Sun and $\sim$7 kpc from the Galactic centre. Its position makes this cluster particularly interesting in the framework of the chemical properties of the Galactic disc because very few old OCs reside in the inner part of the disc. For this reason it has been s

We define the symplectic displacement energy of a non-empty subset of a compact symplectic manifold as the infimum of the Hofer-like norm [5] of symplectic diffeomorphisms that displace the set.

We exploit a natural Projected Entangled-Pair State (PEPS) representation for the resonating Affleck-Kennedy-Lieb-Tasaki loop (RAL) state. By taking advantage of PEPS-based analytical and numerical methods, we characterize the RAL states on various two-dimensional lattices.

In the long-wave regime, nonlinear waves may undergo a phase transition from a smooth to a fast oscillatory behaviour.

We introduce a way to compute scattering amplitudes in quantum field theory including the effects of particle production and detection. Our amplitudes are manifestly causal, by which we mean that the source and detector are always linked by a connected chain of retarded propagators. We show how these amplitudes can be derived from a path integral, using the

Statistical methods for functional data are of interest for many applications. In this paper, we prove a central limit theorem for random variables taking their values in a Hilbert space. The random variables are assumed to be weakly dependent in the sense of near epoch dependence, where the underlying process fulfills some mixing conditions. As parametric i

In this work we study asymmetric thick braneworld scenarios, generated after adding a constant to the superpotential associated to the scalar field. We study in particular models with odd and even polynomial superpotentials, and we show that asymmetric brane can be generated irrespective of the potential being symmetric or asymmetric. We study in addition th

In this paper a novel approach for matrix manipulation and indexing is proposed .Here the elements in a row of matrix are designated by numeric value called permutation index followed by the elements of the row being randomised. This is done for all the rows of the matrix and in the end the set of permutation indices are put in the parent matrix and random l

We describe compactifications of moduli spaces of Burniat surfaces with $2\leq K_{X}^{2}\leq5$ obtained by adding KSBA surfaces, i.e. slc surfaces $X$ with ample canonical class $K_{X}$.

We present a `global' description of the wide variety of high energy elastic and diffractive data that are presently available, particularly from the LHC experiments. The model is based on only one pomeron pole, but includes multi-pomeron interactions and, significantly, includes the transverse momentum dependence of intermediate partons as a function of

Building on the work of Martin Stolz, we develop the basics of equivariant stable homotopy theory starting from the simple idea that a G- spectrum should just be a spectrum with an action of G on it, in contrast to the usual approach in which the definition of a G-spectrum depends on a choice of universe.

An accurate assessment of the hyperon-nucleon interaction is of great interest in view of recent observations of very massive neutron stars. The challenge is to build a realistic interaction that can be used over a wide range of masses and in infinite matter starting from the available experimental data on the binding energy of light hypernuclei. To this end
