Abstract: Recently, virtual reality (VR) technology has been developed using a head mounted displays (HMD). Users can recognize virtual objects easily in a VR space. However, users cannot obtain haptic perception, such as operating actual objects. There are force feedback devices that can render its perception. General devices are desktop types which restrict the range of motion (ROM) of operators, whereas exoskeleton types achieve ROM like a human. Many force feedback devices using motors and decelerators lead to a loss of backdrivability and can harm the operator by active force. Therefore, we developed an exoskeleton type four degrees of freedom (DOF) force feedback device for the upper limb with magnetorheological fluid clutches and artificial muscles that are backdrivable and safe actuators; we confirmed that the proposed device can render an elastic force.

Abstract: type:Journal Article, Quantum dots (QDs) provide an attractive alternative sensitizer to organic dyes. However, there have been few reports on QD-sensitized solar cells (QDSCs) that have photovoltaic conversion efficiencies exceeding those of dye-sensitized solar cells. This is because of the lack of fundamental studies of QDs on conventional nanocrystalline metal oxide electrodes which possess much amount of heterogeneity. An important first step is an investigation of the dependences of the optical absorption, the ground state energy level, and the interfacial electron transfer (IET) on the size of QDs deposited on well characterized single crystal oxides. The present study focuses on a system of CdSe QDs adsorbed on the (001), (110), and (111) surfaces of single crystal rutile-TiO2. The optical absorption spectra, characterized using photoacoustic spectroscopy, were found to be independent of the surface orientation concerning the optical absorption edge. The exponential optical absorption tail (Urbach tail) suggests that the disorder decreases with the increasing size of the QDs and is independent of the surface orientation. The ground state energy levels of the QDs were characterized using photoelectron yield spectroscopy. That on the (001) surface shifts upward, while that on the (110) surface shifts downward with increasing QD size. That on the (111) surface is independent of the QD size, indicating the difference of the influence of the surface orientation on adsorption of the QDs. The IET rate constant and the relaxation component were characterized. The IET rate constant was found to decrease as the size of the QDs increases and depends on the surface orientation, indicating the differences in the decrease of the free energy change and lower coupling between the excited state of CdSe QDs and the Ti 3d orbitals in rutile-TiO2. The relaxation component increases with increasing QD size and depends on the surface orientation, correlating with the density of states in the conductio, source:DOI:10.1021/acs.jpcc.7b09371

Abstract: type:Journal Article, Lead halide perovskites are attracting a great deal of interest for optoelectronic applications such as solar cells, LEDs, and lasers because of their unique properties. In solar cells, heat dissipation by hot carriers results in a major energy loss channel responsible for the Shockley–Queisser efficiency limit. Hot carrier solar cells offer the possibility to overcome this limit and achieve energy conversion efficiency as high as 66% by extracting hot carriers. Therefore, fundamental studies on hot carrier relaxation dynamics in lead halide perovskites are important. Here, we elucidated the hot carrier cooling dynamics in all-inorganic cesium lead iodide (CsPbI3) perovskite using transient absorption spectroscopy. We observe that the hot carrier cooling rate in CsPbI3 decreases as the fluence of the pump light increases and the cooling is as slow as a few 10 ps when the photoexcited carrier density is 7 × 1018 cm−3, which is attributed to phonon bottleneck for high photoexcited carrier densities. Our findings suggest that CsPbI3 has a potential for hot carrier solar cell applications., source:https://doi.org/10.1063/1.4991993

Abstract: type:Journal Article, The surface chemistry of colloidal quantum dots (QDs) plays an important role in determining the photoelectric properties of QD films and the corresponding quantum dot heterojunction solar cells (QDHSCs). To investigate the effects of the ligand structure on the photovoltaic performance and exciton dynamics of QDHSCs, PbS QDHSCs were fabricated by the solid state ligand exchange method with mercaptoalkanoic acid as the cross-linking ligand. Temperature-dependent photoluminescence and ultrafast transient absorption spectra show that the electronic coupling and charge transfer rate within QD ensembles were monotonically enhanced as the ligand length decreased. However, in practical QDHSCs, the second shortest ligand 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) showed higher power conversion efficiency than the shortest ligand thioglycolic acid (TGA). This could be attributed to the difference in their surface trap states, supported by thermally stimulated current measurements. Moreover, compared with the non-conjugated ligand MPA, the conjugated ligand 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (MBA) introduces less trap states and has a similar charge transfer rate in QD ensembles, but has poor photovoltaic properties. This unexpected result could be contributed by the QD–ligand orbital mixing, leading to the charge transfer from QDs to ligands instead of charge transfer between adjacent QDs. This work highlights the significant effects of ligand structures on the photovoltaic properties and exciton dynamics of QDHSCs, which would shed light on the further development of QD-based photoelectric devices.

Abstract: 本研究は、上・超級日本語学習者の発話の特徴を明らかにすることを目指し、ACTFL (全米外国語教育協会)から日本語の OPI テスト(口頭面接テスト)のテスター認定を受けた試験官が行なったものである。OPI テストの録音テープから、超級、上級の上・中・下の各々の典型的なものを選んで分析対象とし、母語話者とも比較した。まず、話題の種類と述べ方から発話内容領域という概念を設け、それを3つの領域---I.身近な具体的事実を直接的に言う、II.個人的一般的関心事の具体的事実を詳述する、III.抽象的内容を論じる--- に分けた。各被験者の発話について、この発話内容領域を軸として、試験官の要求への対応・発話の構成・談話の形・文法能力(語彙の広がり、誤用、言い直し、接続表現)を分析した結果、上・超級話者の各レベルの発話の特徴を具体的に示した。また、上級から超級への移行の過程が明らかになった。全分析項目において、なだらかな発達がみられるわけではなく、発話の構成・抽象的表現の使用・言い直し・接続表現・誤用などの項目では、上級と超級で大きい違いがみられた。また、発話内容領域によっても、レベル差が大きく現れる項目が異なっていた。これらの結果から、いくつかの分析項目では、ACTFL-OPI の基準で示されているレベル変化とは異なる、大きく変化する段階があることも分かった。さらに今回行なった母語話者との比較から、超級話者のほうが母語話者より論理的に話したり、和語を多く使用することが認められた。, This research was conducted by a group of Japanese-language Oral Proficiency Interview (OPI) testers certified by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL). The purpose of the research is to clarify major characteristics of advanced- and superior-level non-native speakers. This research began by selecting tapes that represent typical lower advanced, middle advanced, upper advanced, and superior speech for detailed analysis. Tapes of Japanese native speakers were also selected and included for comparison. This article first categorizes the topics or themes of conversation into three fields: (1) predictable, familiar topics; (2) topics of personal general interest; and (3) wide range of general-interest topics. Second, in relation to these categorized content fields, this research explains the discourse structure, the rate of success in structuring an extended discourse and a paragraph, the variety of conjunctions, kango, and wago used,idiomatic expressions and onomatopoeic words used, and the number and the types of self-corrections. The result of this research shows a clear picture of major characteristics of advanced and superior-level speakers. It also suggests the feature of the progress from advanced to superior levels. Distinct difference was observed between advanced and superior level speakers in discourse structure, usage of abstract expressions, self-corrections, usage of conjunctions, and grammatical mistakes. In case of accomplishments of the tasks and the text types in treating the second field theme, clear difference was observed between advanced-low and advanced-mid speakers. Whereas in case of the text types in treating the third field theme, there was a clear distinction between advanced-mid and advanced-high speakers. The above results suggest the existence of some other levels than the one described in OPI criteria.

10. Bayesian estimation of discrete choice models : labor supply of multiple household members

Author: Faculty of Commerce Chuo University, Matsuno, Kazuhiko, Faculty of Commerce Chuo University, and Matsuno, Kazuhiko
Abstract: The aim of this paper is to estimate models for labor supply probabilityof household members by using Bayesian procedures. Our modelsdescribe the labor supply behavior of multiple household members. Particularly,we deal with the behavior of households with one, two or threenon-principal earners (a wife and/or children). The related literaturemainly studies the labor supply of one non-principal earner. The modelsare of discrete choice or qualitative response type to yield a laborsupply probability that non-principal earners accept an employment opportunity.We apply Bayesian estimation methods to the models and carry outempirical tests of the models using Japanese data.Douglas law of labor supply shows that the labor participation rateof wives are negatively correlated with husband's income. This law hasbeen reconfirmed by empirical analyses of household-level surveys.Although the analyses are limited to a case of one non-principal earner,it may be possible to say that the labor supply of multiple non-principalearners is also negatively correlated with husband's income.The situation is, however, complicated when we consider householdswith multiple household members. In fact, it is difficult to define laboruparticipation rate at a household level when the household has multiplenon-principal earners. We may define the rate as a ratio of number ofparticipants to that of non-principal earners within a household. We needa theoretical basis for the definition. We need a model to describe thelabor supply behavior of households with multiple non-principal earners.For this purpose we provide a general discrete choice model. Three modelsfor labor supply are derived from it.In applications of Bayesian methods, a difficult problem is how toformulate prior distributions. The diffuse or uniform prior distributionis usually employed. In this study we take up Bayesian methods for estimatingone model to incorporate the information obtained in the priorestimation of other models. We al

Author: Faculty of Commerce Chuo University, Matsuno, Kazuhiko, Faculty of Commerce Chuo University, and Matsuno, Kazuhiko
Abstract: We set forth a model for the labor supply of wives.Based on the income-leisure preference theory, the model describesthe behavior of wives to whom multiple employment opportunitiesare open. It is assumed that each of the employment opportunitiesoffered to the wives has a fixed wage rate and fixed working hours.The model is thus discrete as one of multiple options is chosen.The analysis shows that the model is an ordered quantal responsemodel where the choice set autonomously changes itself. The modelis tested using cross-section observation., This-paper is a revised and extended version of theauthor's paper presented at the Fifth InternationalSymposium on Forecasting, 1985.

Abstract: We perform a numerical study of the unitary regime as a function of disorder concentration in the imaginary part of the elastic scattering cross-section for the compound $Sr_2RuO_4$ in the flat band non-disperse limit. By using a self-consistent tight-binding (TB) method, we find a couple of families of Wigner probabilistic functions that help to explain macroscopically the distribution between Fermion dressed quasiparticles and Cooper pairs, and also the position of nodes in the order parameter for $Sr_2RuO_4$. Therefore, we are able to show that a TB model for the $\gamma$ sheet numerically shows 4 point nodes in a flat $\gamma$ sheet limit or 4 quasi-point nodes for strong dispersion $\gamma$ sheet limit in the reduced phase scattering space (RPS)., Comment: 19 pages, 4 figures, 44 references

Abstract: The dinoflagellate genus Gambierdiscus, particularly Gambierdiscus toxicus is known to produce numerous ladder polycyclic ether compounds, including gambierol, characterized by a transfused octacyclic polyether core, as well as the identified ciguatoxins responsible for ciguatera poisoning. Gambierol inhibits voltage-gated K+ (KV) channels in various mammalian excitable and nonexcitable cells, and motor nerve terminals of the neuromuscular junction. In the present study, we investigated the action of gambierol on outward K+ currents of cultured rat fetal adrenal medulla chromaffin cells using the whole-cell configuration voltage-clamp method. The pharmacological dissection of the outward K+ current, using selective K+ channel inhibitors, revealed that gambierol reduced just a small fraction of the total outward current without affecting calcium-activated K+ currents that were sensitive to apamin and iberiotoxin, and ATP-sensitive K+ currents sensitive to glibenclamide. Cultured fetal chromaffin cells were excitable and generated either evoked (upon direct electric stimulation) or spontaneous action potentials. These action potentials were sensitive to tetrodotoxin that blocks voltage-gated Na+ (NaV) channels. Gambierol neither affected the rising phase nor the overshoot of action potentials but significantly prolonged their repolarizing phase and increased the firing rate of action potentials during sustained current depolarization, as determined using current-clamp recordings. Our results highlight the effects of gambierol on KV channels and on the electrical properties of rat fetal chromaffin cells. It is likely that gambierol may cross the placental barrier as ciguatoxins do. Further studies are needed to determine whether such actions may have deleterious effects on fetuses.

Abstract: International audience; The protocooperation between Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus relies on metabolite exchanges that accelerate acidification during yogurt fermentation. Conflicting results have been obtained in terms of the effect of the Strep. thermophilus urease and the NH3 and CO2 that it generates on the rate of acidification in yogurt fermentation. It is difficult to perform a systematic study of the effects of urease on protocooperation because it is necessary to distinguish among the direct, indirect, and strain-specific effects resulting from the combination of the strains of both species. To evaluate the direct effects of urease on protocooperation, we generated 3 urease-deficient mutants (Delta ureC) of fast- and slow-acidifying Strep. thermophilus strains and observed the effects of NH3 or CO2 supplementation on acidification by the Delta ureC strains. Further, we examined 5 combinations of 3 urease-deficient Delta ureC strains with 2 CO2-responsive or CO2 -unresponsive strains of L. bulgaricus. Urease deficiency induced a shortage of ammonia nitrogen and CO2 for the fast- and slow-acidifying Strep. thermophilus and for the CO2-responsive L. bulgaricus, respectively. Notably, the shortage of ammonia nitrogen had more severe effects than that of CO2 on yogurt fermentation, even if coculture with L. bulgaricus masked the effect of urease deficiency. Our work established (1) that urease deficiency inhibits the fermentative acceleration of protocooperation regardless of the Strep. thermophilus and L. bulgaricus strain combinations, and (2) that urease is an essential factor for effective yogurt acidification.

Abstract: International audience; Anguillid eels are found globally in fresh, transitional and saline waters and have played an important role in human life for centuries. The population status of several species is now of significant concern. The threats to populations include direct exploitation at different life stages, blockages to migratory routes by dams and other structures, changes in river basin management that impact habitat carrying capacity and suitability, pollution, climate change, diseases and parasites. While much has been done to understand eel biology and ecology, a major challenge is to identify the key research and management questions so that effective and targeted studies can be designed to inform conservation, management and policy. We gathered 30 experts in the field of eel biology and management to review the current state of knowledge for anguillid eel species and to identify the main topics for research. The identified research topics fell into three themes: (a) Lifecycle and Biology; (b) Impacts and (c) Management. Although tropical anguillid eels are by far the least well understood, significant knowledge gaps exist for all species. Considerable progress has been made in the last 20 years, but the status of many species remains of great concern, particularly for northern temperate species. Without improved engagement and coordination at the regional, national and international level, the situation is unlikely to improve. Further, adaptive management mechanisms to respond to developments in science, policy and our knowledge of potential threats are required to ensure the future of these important and enigmatic species.

Abstract: International audience; Gambierol inhibits voltage-gated K+ (KV) channels in various excitable and non-excitable cells. The purpose of this work was to study the effects of gambierol on single rat fetal (F19–F20) adrenomedullary cultured chromaffin cells. These excitable cells have different types of KV channels and release catecholamines. Perforated whole-cell voltage-clamp recordings revealed that gambierol (100 nM) blocked only a fraction of the total outward K$^+$ current and slowed the kinetics of K$^+$ current activation. The use of selective channel blockers disclosed that gambierol did not affect calcium-activated K$^+$ (KCa) and ATP-sensitive K$^+$ (KATP) channels. The gambierol concentration necessary to inhibit 50% of the K$^+$ current-component sensitive to the polyether (IC50) was 5.8 nM. Simultaneous whole-cell current-clamp and single-cell amperometry recordings revealed that gambierol did not modify the membrane potential following 11s depolarizing current-steps, in both quiescent and active cells displaying repetitive firing of action potentials, and it did not increase the number of exocytotic catecholamine release events, with respect to controls. The subsequent addition of apamin and iberiotoxin, which selectively block the KCa channels, both depolarized the membrane and enhanced by 2.7 and 3.5-fold the exocytotic event frequency in quiescent and active cells, respectively. These results highlight the important modulatory role played by KCa channels in the control of exocytosis from fetal (F19–F20) adrenomedullary chromaffin cells.

Abstract: Selective reflection spectroscopy at normal incidence provides signals with sub-Doppler resolution, linear with optical intensity. Frequency modulated (FM) selective reflection probes atomic vapours at distances comparable to the excitation wavelength (∼λ/2π) and is used extensively to probe the Casimir-Polder interactions between an excited state atom and a macroscopic surface. Extending selective reflection spectroscopy to molecular gases allows probing a thin layer of molecular gas next to a surface. This is a very attractive prospect that allows envisaging high-resolution molecular spectroscopy and molecular frequency references in a compact and miniaturised apparatus, such as a thin cell [1] or a photonic crystal [2]. Additionally, it paves the way for spectroscopic probing of the Casimir-Polder interaction with molecules. The molecule-surface interaction has been the object of extensive theoretical investigations, focusing on the effects of molecular orientation and chirality. However, experimental tests are few and comparison with theoretical predictions has been challenging [3].

Abstract: International audience; We propose an aggregate growth index that explicitly accounts for fat tails in the firm size distribution and for the negative scaling relation between the size of the firm and the volatility of its growth rates. Using Compustat data on US publicly traded company, we show that the new index tracks aggregate fluctuations much better than simpler measures of central tendency of the dynamics of firms, like the growth rates sample average, confirming that the statistical properties characterizing the micro-economic dynamics of firms are relevant for the dynamics of the aggregate. To better characterize the origins of aggregate fluctuations, we decompose the index in two parts, describing, respectively, the modal (typical) value of log growth rates and the tilt (asymmetry) of their distribution. Regression analysis shows that models based on this decomposition, despite their simplicity, possess a remarkable explanatory and predictive power with respect to the aggregate growth.

Abstract: In this paper we study the problem of finding a small safe set S in a graph G, i.e. a non-empty set of vertices such that no connected component of G[S] is adjacent to a larger component in $G - S$. We enhance our understanding of the problem from the viewpoint of parameterized complexity by showing that (1) the problem is W[2]-hard when parameterized by the pathwidth $\mathsf {pw}$ and cannot be solved in time $n^{o(\mathsf {pw})}$ unless the ETH is false, (2) it admits no polynomial kernel parameterized by the vertex cover number $\mathsf {vc}$ unless $\mathrm {PH} = \varSigma ^{\mathrm {p}}_{3}$, but (3) it is fixed-parameter tractable (FPT) when parameterized by the neighborhood diversity $\mathsf {nd}$, and (4) it can be solved in time $n^{f(\mathsf {cw})}$ for some double exponential function f where $\mathsf {cw}$ is the clique-width. We also present (5) a faster FPT algorithm when parameterized by solution size.

Abstract: Independent Set Reconfiguration is one of the most well-studied problems in the setting of combinatorial reconfiguration. It is known that the problem is PSPACE-complete even for graphs of bounded bandwidth. This fact rules out the tractability of parameterizations by most well-studied structural parameters as most of them generalize bandwidth. In this paper, we study the parameterization by modular-width, which is not comparable with bandwidth. We show that the problem parameterized by modular-width is fixed-parameter tractable under all previously studied rules TAR, TJ, and TS. The result under TAR resolves an open problem posed by Bonsma [WG 2014, JGT 2016]., Comment: 14 pages, 1 figure, WG 2019

Abstract: A graph is $d$-orientable if its edges can be oriented so that the maximum in-degree of the resulting digraph is at most $d$. $d$-orientability is a well-studied concept with close connections to fundamental graph-theoretic notions and applications as a load balancing problem. In this paper we consider the d-ORIENTABLE DELETION problem: given a graph $G=(V,E)$, delete the minimum number of vertices to make $G$ $d$-orientable. We contribute a number of results that improve the state of the art on this problem. Specifically: - We show that the problem is W[2]-hard and $\log n$-inapproximable with respect to $k$, the number of deleted vertices. This closes the gap in the problem's approximability. - We completely characterize the parameterized complexity of the problem on chordal graphs: it is FPT parameterized by $d+k$, but W-hard for each of the parameters $d,k$ separately. - We show that, under the SETH, for all $d,\epsilon$, the problem does not admit a $(d+2-\epsilon)^{tw}$, algorithm where $tw$ is the graph's treewidth, resolving as a special case an open problem on the complexity of PSEUDOFOREST DELETION. - We show that the problem is W-hard parameterized by the input graph's clique-width. Complementing this, we provide an algorithm running in time $d^{O(d\cdot cw)}$, showing that the problem is FPT by $d+cw$, and improving the previously best known algorithm for this case.

Abstract: International audience; This book explores two combined approaches (strategy and accounting) from a cross-disciplinary perspective in order to improve knowledge of value creation in various contexts. Existing studies on this topic have generally adopted a purely account-based or strategy-oriented approach to address this issue. However, this book draws upon a number of well-defined theoretical and empirical backgrounds and methodologies. Since the 1980s, many changes have occurred and companies have increasingly focused their strategies on value creation. Consequently, new strategic directions have emerged, especially for managerial accounting. Management accounting and alignment with strategy could thus improve performance. This book encourages further thought and reflection on these issues which should be pursued in the future as firms face new challenges associated with the acceleration of digital transformation.

Abstract: We investigate enhancement of electric multipole excitations of atoms in the vicinity of an object with a nanoscale edge resulted from a large electromagnetic field gradient. We calculate the excitation efficiencies of a Rb atom around a nanoedge and find the excitations are enhanced by several orders of magnitude. The efficiencies with the change in the magnetic quantum number resolved are also examined. Each resolved efficiency shows rotationally symmetric spatial distribution, with continuous modification in shape from the far field to the near field. Furthermore, we estimate photon emission rates accompanied with multipole excitations in alkali (Rb and Cs) atoms and discuss the possibility to observe the enhancement in the multi-pole excitation in cold atoms.

Abstract: We study the extent to which very bright (-23.0 < MUV < -21.75) Lyman-break selected galaxies at redshifts z~7 display detectable Lya emission. To explore this issue, we have obtained follow-up optical spectroscopy of 9 z~7 galaxies from a parent sample of 24 z~7 galaxy candidates selected from the 1.65 sq.deg COSMOS-UltraVISTA and SXDS-UDS survey fields using the latest near-infrared public survey data, and new ultra-deep Subaru z'-band imaging (which we also present and describe in this paper). Our spectroscopy has yielded only one possible detection of Lya at z=7.168 with a rest-frame equivalent width EW_0 = 3.7 (+1.7/-1.1) Angstrom. The relative weakness of this line, combined with our failure to detect Lya emission from the other spectroscopic targets allows us to place a new upper limit on the prevalence of strong Lya emission at these redshifts. For conservative calculation and to facilitate comparison with previous studies at lower redshifts, we derive a 1-sigma upper limit on the fraction of UV bright galaxies at z~7 that display EW_0 > 50 Angstrom, which we estimate to be < 0.23. This result may indicate a weak trend where the fraction of strong Lya emitters ceases to rise, and possibly falls between z~6 and z~7. Our results also leave open the possibility that strong Lya may still be more prevalent in the brightest galaxies in the reionization era than their fainter counterparts. A larger spectroscopic sample of galaxies is required to derive a more reliable constraint on the neutral hydrogen fraction at z~7 based on the Lya fraction in the bright galaxies., Comment: 20 pages, 7 figures, accepted for publication in ApJ

Abstract: A modified version of an operational 3-dimensional, non-hydrostatic, limited-area atmospheric model (MM5) was used to perform high-resolution, idealized simulations of the interaction of an infinitely long single ridge with a steady, lateral large-scale wind field. The effect of different mountain ridge dimensions, wind speeds and patterns and moisture profiles on the quantity and distribution of orographic rainfall was investigated. The simulations demonstrated a number of commonly observed mountain flow features like formation of cap clouds, foehn wall, convective break-out associated with mountain topography, interaction of downslope winds with sea breeze, and different stages of cumulus development. It was found that the rainfall maxima associated with the mountain always occur upstream of the ridge peak. Changing mountain dimensions, wind speeds and patterns and moisture profile had clear effects on amount and pattern of accumulated rainfall. Low wind speeds resulted the maximum accumulated rainfall to occur considerable distance upstream of ridge peak. Reversal of wind directions in upper atmosphere caused rainfall to be largely restricted to the wind-side of the peak. The observed rainfall patterns are explained by the different flow patterns observed in the model output.

Abstract: Within the set of risk factors that compromise the conservation of marine biodiversity, one of the least understood concerns is the noise produced by human operations at sea and from land. Many aspects of how noise and other forms of energy may impact the natural balance of the oceans are still unstudied. Substantial attention has been devoted in the last decades to determine the sensitivity to noise of marine mammals—especially cetaceans and pinnipeds—and fish because they are known to possess hearing organs. Recent studies have revealed that a wide diversity of invertebrates are also sensitive to sounds, especially via sensory organs whose original function is to allow maintaining equilibrium in the water column and to sense gravity. Marine invertebrates not only represent the largest proportion of marine biomass and are indicators of ocean health but many species also have important socio-economic values. This review presents the current scientific knowledge on invertebrate bioacoustics (sound production, reception, sensitivity), as well as on how marine invertebrates are affected by anthropogenic noises. It also critically revisits the literature to identify gaps that will frame future research investigating the tolerance to noise of marine ecosystems.

Abstract: International audience; Lead halide perovskites are attracting a great deal of interest for optoelectronic applications such as solar cells, LEDs, and lasers because of their unique properties. In solar cells, heat dissipation by hot carriers results in a major energy loss channel responsible for the Shockley–Queisser efficiency limit. Hot carrier solar cells offer the possibility to overcome this limit and achieve energy conversion efficiency as high as 66% by extracting hot carriers. Therefore, fundamental studies on hot carrier relaxation dynamics in lead halide perovskites are important. Here, we elucidated the hot carrier cooling dynamics in all-inorganic cesium lead iodide (CsPbI3) perovskite using transient absorption spectroscopy. We observe that the hot carrier cooling rate in CsPbI3 decreases as the fluence of the pump light increases and the cooling is as slow as a few 10 ps when the photoexcited carrier density is 7 × 1018 cm−3, which is attributed to phonon bottleneck for high photoexcited carrier densities. Our findings suggest that CsPbI3 has a potential for hot carrier solar cell applications.

Abstract: In several examples it has been observed that a module category of a vertex operator algebra (VOA) is equivalent to a category of representations of some quantum group. The present article is concerned with developing such a duality in the case of the Virasoro VOA at generic central charge; arguably the most rudimentary of all VOAs, yet structurally complicated. We do not address the category of all modules of the generic Virasoro VOA, but we consider the infinitely many modules from the first row of the Kac table. Building on an explicit quantum group method of Coulomb gas integrals, we give a new proof of the fusion rules, we prove the analyticity of compositions of intertwining operators, and we show that the conformal blocks are fully determined by the quantum group method. Crucially, we prove the associativity of the intertwining operators among the first-row modules, and find that the associativity is governed by the $6j$-symbols of the quantum group. Our results constitute a concrete duality between a VOA and a quantum group, and they will serve as the key tools to establish the equivalence of the first-row subcategory of modules of the generic Virasoro VOA and the category of (type-1) finite-dimensional representations of $\mathcal{U}_{q}(\mathfrak{sl}_{2})$., Comment: 79 pages.

Abstract: International audience; Community-wide blind prediction experiments such as CAPRI and CASP provide an objective measure of the current state of predictive methodology. Here we describe a community-wide assessment of methods to predict the effects of mutations on protein-protein interactions. Twenty-two groups predicted the effects of comprehensive saturation mutagenesis for two designed influenza hemagglutinin binders and the results were compared with experimental yeast display enrichment data obtained using deep sequencing. The most successful methods explicitly considered the effects of mutation on monomer stability in addition to binding affinity, carried out explicit side-chain sampling and backbone relaxation, evaluated packing, electrostatic, and solvation effects, and correctly identified around a third of the beneficial mutations. Much room for improvement remains for even the best techniques, and large-scale fitness landscapes should continue to provide an excellent test bed for continued evaluation of both existing and new prediction methodologies.

Abstract: Electric and magnetic fields play an important role in both chemical and physical reactions. However, since the coupling efficiency between magnetic fields and electrons is low in comparison with that between electric fields and electrons in the visible wavelength region, the magnetic field is negligible in photo-induced reactions. Here, we performed photo-etching of ZrO2 nano-stripe structures, and identified an etching-property polarisation dependence. Specifically, the etching rate and etched profiles depend on the structure width. To evaluate this polarisation-dependent etching, we performed numerical calculations using a finite-difference time-domain method. Remarkably, the numerical results revealed that the polarisation-dependent etching properties were determined by the magnetic field distributions, rather than the electric field distributions. As nano-scale structures induce a localised magnetic field, the discovery of this etching dependence on the magnetic field is expected to introduce a new perspective on advanced nano-scale structure fabrication. The magnetic-field polarization of incident light has been found to affect photoetching of zirconium oxide (ZrO2) nanostripes. Takashi Yatsui of the University of Tokyo and co-workers in Japan and France have found that the etching rates and the profiles of etched structures depended on the incident polarization. Numerical calculations revealed that this polarization dependence of the etching properties stemmed from the distribution of the magnetic field rather than that of the electric field. This is a surprising result since the magnetic field is generally ignored in light-induced reactions because it is considered to have negligible interaction with materials due to its low coupling efficiency with the electrons in a material. The inclusion of the magnetic field will provide an extra degree of freedom when fabricating nanostructures for advanced optical and electrical devices.

Abstract: International audience; We present a comparison between calculated densities of states of the Laves phase MgZn2 and hexagonal Mg28Zn65Y7 and experimental results obtained using both X-ray emission and photoabsorption spectroscopy techniques. We show that there is a general agreement between both sets of data for both alloys. We also point out the two samples retain a metallic character yet, the hexagonal approximant of the Mg-Zn-Y quasicrystals family is less metallic than the Laves phase.

Abstract: International audience; Für die Realisierung von Sprechhandlungen spielen lexikalische Informationen eine entscheidende Rolle. Jedoch darf die prosodische Seite der Ausdrücke nicht gering geachtet werden, denn die gleichen Ausdrücke können je nach Aussprache unterschiedliche konnotative Bedeutungen haben. Im Japanischen wird häufig darauf hingewiesen, dass die Intonation insbesondere am Ende der Äußerungen die Absicht bzw. Haltung des Sprechers wiederspiegelt. Um sie richtig zu verstehen, wird von den Japanischlernenden gefordert, bestimmte physikalische Veränderungen, wie z.B. Tonhöhe oder Dauer, richtig wahrzunehmen und dem gegebenen Kontext entsprechend zu interpretieren. Im Bereich des Japanischen als Fremdsprache wird die Intonation im Unterricht teilweise intuitiv" behandelt, ohne die genaue Wahrnehmungstendenz der Lernenden zu berücksichtigen, weil sie auch in der Forschung noch ungeklärt ist. In Bezug auf die Wahrnehmung des Wortakzents wurde die Tendenz der Interferenz von der Muttersprache bereits aufgrund empirischer Untersuchungen festgestellt und ausführlich beschrieben (Ayusawa & Nishinuma 1997 u.a.) *.Im Rahmen dieses Beitrags wird die Interferenz der Muttersprache bei Wahrnehmung der Intonation und des Rhythmus der Äußerungen behandelt. Analysiert werden hier die Daten von insgesamt 90 deutschen und japanischen Muttersprachlern. Jeder Teilnehmer antwortete auf 320 Fragen nach der Prosodie, nämlich die Tonhöhe und die Dauer. Die Daten werden statistisch analysiert und unter kontrastiven Gesichtspunkten diskutiert. Dabei werden auch die Ergebnisse von Umfragen berücksichtigt, die anschließend an die Untersuchungen durchgeführt wurde. Es wurde von den japanischen Muttersprachlern erwähnt, dass akustische Variationen der gleichen Ausdrücke bei ihnen unterschiedliche Eindrücke hervorriefen, womit sie auf die zusätzlichen Konnotationen verwiesen.; This study which supports the claim of a prosodic interference between L1 and L2, examines the perception of Japanese rhythm and intonation by German students. Four sentences recorded by 10 female Japanese speakers were presented 4 times through headsets to 45 Japanese and to 42 German students. Listeners were asked to determine whether the last syllable (1) had a rising or a falling intonation and (2) was short or long. Variance analysis reveals (1) a significant difference between the Germman and Japanese subjects in the perception of melodic and rhythm variations ; (2) that some infra-liminal F0 variations were judged differently by the German subjects, possibly due to interactions between sentence types and speech sounds.

The experiment reported here, used 4 sentences selected from dialogues of role plays recorded by 10 female Tokyo speakers. Stimuli were presented to 45 Japanese and to 77 Chinese students from Beijing. Each stimuli was played 4 times to listeners through headsets. They were asked in two different tasks to determine whether the last syllable was, (1) rising or falling, (2) short or long. Variance analysis reveals a significant difference between subjects for the perception of melodic variation but no interference effect for rhythm.; Afin d'examiner l'interférence prosodique entre L1 - L2, nous avons effectué une expérience de perception sur la hauteur et le rythme du japonais auprès de sujets chinois et allemands. Le corpus de la première partie de l'expérience présentée ici est composé de 4 phrases qui sont extraites des dialogues de jeux de rôle interprétés par 10 locutrices de Tokyo. Il a été soumis à 45 étudiants japonais et 77 étudiants chinois de Pékin. Chaque phrase a été présentée 4 fois. Lors de 2 sessions distinctes deux tâches ont été demandées aux sujets : déterminer si la dernière syllable est (1) montante ou descendante; (2) brève ou longue. L'analyse de variance montre une différence significative entre les sujets pour la perception de la variation mélodique mais aucun effet d'interférence pour le rythme. L'analyse en cours pour les sujets allemands semble fournir des conclusions différentes.
