Abstract

Bromeliaceae is one of the most representative plant families in restinga habitats. We analyzed the speciesrichness and composition of Bromeliaceae in 13 restinga habitats along the Brazilian coast. We found a total of 41species distributed along the restinga habitats studied. The restinga of Praia do Sul, in the state of Rio de Janeiro, hadthe highest number of species (15), whereas the restinga of Abaeté, in the state of Bahia, had the lowest (4). Our dataare suggestive that the Doce River may represent the limit of distribution for some bromeliad species, with some speciesoccurring only south of that river and others occurring only to the north of it. The differences in Bromeliaceae speciescomposition among restinga habitats probably are not only due to differences in local environmental conditions, butalso due to the geographic distribution pattern of each species and to the present degree of disturbance at each restinga.

Abstract

SiC$_2$ is a fascinating molecule due to its unusual bonding and astrophysical importance. In this work, we report the first global potential energy surface (PES) for ground-state SiC$_2$ using the combined-hyperbolic-inverse-power-representation (CHIPR) method and accurate ab initio energies. The calibration grid data is obtained via a general dual-level protocol developed afresh herein that entails both coupled-cluster and multireference configuration interaction energies jointly extrapolated to the complete basis set limit. Such an approach is specially devised to recover much of the spectroscopy from the PES, while still permitting a proper fragmentation of the system to allow for reaction dynamics studies. Besides describing accurately the valence strongly-bound region that includes both the cyclic global minimum and isomerization barriers, the final analytic PES form is shown to properly reproduce dissociation energies, diatomic potentials, and long-range interactions at all asymptotic channels, in addition to naturally reflect the correct permutational symmetry of the potential. Bound vibrational state calculations have been carried out, unveiling an excellent match of the available experimental data on $c$-$\mathrm{SiC}_{2}(^{1}A_1)$. To further exploit the global nature of the PES, exploratory quasi-classical trajectory calculations for the endothermic $\mathrm{C_{2}\!+\!Si}\rightarrow\mathrm{SiC\!+\!C}$ reaction are also performed, yielding thermalized rate coefficients for temperatures up to $5000$ K. The results hint for the prominence of this reaction in the innermost layers of the circumstellar envelopes around carbon-rich stars, thence conceivably playing therein a key contribution to the gas-phase formation of SiC, and eventually, solid SiC dust., Comment: Accepted for publication in JCP

Abstract

This work proposes a new precoded filter bank (FB) system via a two-dimensional (2D) fast Fourier transform (2D-FFT). Its structure is similar to Orthogonal Time Frequency Space (OTFS) systems, where the OFDM transmitter is changed to a filter bank multi-carrier (FBMC) one, thus obtaining a lower out-of-band emission. The complex orthogonality of the FBMC transmission is guaranteed by using precoding based on a discrete Fourier transform, which is also used to implement the two-dimensional fast Fourier transform. Through the use of a global transmission matrix, we propose a hybrid receiver for the new system. First, a frequency domain equalization is performed, followed by an interference cancellation on the delay-Doppler domain. The simulation results show that the proposed system obtains an error performance similar to other OTFS systems, and superior performance as compared to other precoded FBMC systems.

Abstract

We report a female Physalaemus soaresi Izecksohn, 1965 collected at the Atlantic rainforest of Serra doMendanha, municipality of Rio de Janeiro, state of Rio de Janeiro, southeastern Brazil. Known only from two localities (andprobably extinct in one), P. soaresi is considered a threatened species in Brazil and presumably threatened in the state ofRio de Janeiro. Despite the new record, P. soaresi still fits into the status of endangered and requires the full protection of allareas where it occurs.

Abstract

Little is known about amphibian communities on Brazilian restingas (coastal sand dune scrublands). This studypresents a first approximation to the list of anuran species from the restinga of Baixada do Maciambu, Santa Catarina,southern Brazil. We sampled using three methods (pitfall traps with drift fences, transect of active search, and surveys atbreeding sites) from July 2007 to April 2010. We recorded 15 species in six families, of which Hylidae was representedby the greatest number of species. Compared to other Brazilian restinga habitats, the species richness we recorded at theBaixada do Maciambu is similar to that reported for restingas of Rio de Janeiro state, but lower than that reported forrestingas in São Paulo, Rio Grande do Sul and Bahia states, Brazil.

10. Bolstering First-Year Success through Digital Tools

Author

University of Southern California, Pullias Center for Higher Education, Maruco, T., Corwin, Z., Rocha, C., and Romero-Morales, M.

Abstract

To address the challenges of fostering a sense of belonging and ultimately improving academic success, the University of Southern California 's (USC's) Pullias Center for Higher Education and the Get Schooled Foundation partnered with California State University Dominguez Hills (CSUDH) to create an online tool called "Toros Charge On!" Building on the success of a digital college access intervention implemented in high schools across California, the "Toros Charge On!" campaign was designed to assist students in navigating campus resources and learning skills conducive to college success. The approach did not "reinvent the wheel" in terms of programming. Instead, the project was designed to amplify services already implemented by on-the-ground practitioners and increase first-year persistence through an engaging, scalable, and cost-effective digital ecosystem. Objectives of the digital approach include bolstering sense of belonging on campus, building financial literacy, promoting self-care, cultivating study skills, and fostering meaningful use of summer break. In the 2018-2019 academic year, first time, first-year students registered for the online platform program by accepting an invitation to create a "Toros Charge On!" Get Schooled account using their @csudh.edu email address or "opting in" via text. Approximately one third of CSUDH first-year students participated in the campaign. The authors tracked engagement by: (1) analyzing activity on the Get Schooled server; and (2) interviewing students and CSUDH staff about their reaction to the campaign. Regression results indicate, on average, "Toros Charge On!" participants experienced the following (compared to students who did not participate in the campaign): (1) higher GPA; (2) more units completed; and (3) more likely to enroll in second year. Results also suggest that "Toros Charge On!" was particularly beneficial for students who were not able to participate in other first-year events.

Abstract

Obtaining conductance spectra for a concentration of disordered impurities distributed over a nanoscale device with sensing capabilities is a well-defined problem. However, to do this inversely, i.e., extracting information about the scatters from the conductance spectrum alone, is not an easy task. In the presence of impurities, even advanced techniques of inversion can become particularly challenging. This article extends the applicability of a methodology we proposed capable of extracting composition information about a nanoscale sensing device using the conductance spectrum. The inversion tool decodes the conductance spectrum to yield the concentration and nature of the disorders responsible for conductance fluctuations in the spectra. We present the method for simple one-dimensional systems like an electron gas with randomly distributed delta functions and a linear chain of atoms. We prove the generality and robustness of the method using materials with complex electronic structures like hexagonal boron nitride, graphene nanoribbons, and carbon nanotubes. We also go on to probe the distribution of disorders on the sublattice structure of the materials using the proposed inversion tool., Comment: 16pages, 4 figures

12. High-level ab initio quartic force fields and spectroscopic characterization of C$_{2}$N$^{-}$

Abstract

While it is now well established that large carbon chain species and radiative electron attachment (REA) are key ingredients triggering interstellar anion chemistry, the role played by smaller molecular anions, for which REA appears to be an unlikely formation pathway, is as yet elusive. Advancing this research undoubtedly requires the knowledge of their astronomical abundances which, for the case of C$_{2}$N$^{-}$, is largely hindered by a lack of accurate spectroscopic signatures. In this work, we provide such data for both ground $\ell$-CCN$^{-}$($^{3}\Sigma^{-}$) and low-lying $c$-CNC$^{-}$($^{1}A_{1}$) isomers by means of state-of-the-art rovibrational quantum chemical techniques. Their quartic force fields are herein calibrated using a high-level composite energy scheme that accounts for extrapolations to both one-particle and (approximate) ${N}$-particle basis set limits, in addition to relativistic effects, with the final forms being subsequently subject to nuclear motion calculations. Besides standard spectroscopic attributes, the full set of computed properties includes fine and hyperfine interaction constants and can be readily introduced as guesses in conventional experimental data reduction analyses through effective Hamiltonians. On the basis of benchmark calculations, the target accuracies are determined to be better than 0.1% of experiment for rotational constants and 0.3% for vibrational fundamentals. Apart from laboratory investigations, the results here presented are expected to also prompt future astronomical surveys on C$_{2}$N$^{-}$. Using the theoretically-predicted spectroscopic constants, the rotational spectra of both $\ell$-CCN$^{-}$($^{3}\Sigma^{-}$) and $c$-CNC$^{-}$($^{1}A_{1}$) are also derived and their likely detectability in the interstellar medium is further explored in connection with working frequency ranges of powerful astronomical facilities., Comment: Accepted for publication in PCCP

19. Theoretical studies of carbon isotopic fractionation in reactions of C with C$_{2}$: dynamics, kinetics, and isotopologue equilibria

Author

Rocha, C. M. R. and Linnartz, H.

Subjects
Astrophysics - Astrophysics of Galaxies
Abstract

Our current understanding of interstellar carbon fractionation hinges on the interpretation of astrochemical kinetic models. Yet, the various reactions included carry large uncertainties in their (estimated) rate coefficients, notably those involving C with C$_{2}$. In this work, we provide theoretical thermal rate coefficients as a function of the temperature for all possible gas-phase isotope-exchange reactions of C+C$_{2}(X^{1}\Sigma_{g}^{+},a^{3}\Pi_{u})$. For this, we employ the quasi-classical trajectory method, with the previously obtained potential energy surfaces of C$_{3}$ dictating the forces between the colliding partners. The calculated rate coefficients show a positive temperature dependence and are markedly different from previous theoretical estimates. While the forward reactions are fast and inherently exothermic owing to the lower zero-point energy content of the products, the reverse processes have temperature thresholds. For each reaction considered, analytic three-parameter Arrhenius-Kooij formulas are provided that readily interpolate/extrapolate the associated forward and backward rates. These forms can further be introduced in astrochemical networks. Apart from the proper kinetic attributes, we also provide equilibrium constants for these processes, thence confirming their prominence in the overall C fractionation chemistry. In this respect, the $^{13}$C + $^{12}$C$_{2}(X^{1}{\Sigma}^{+}_{g})$ and $^{13}$C + $^{12}$C$_{2}(a^{3}{\Pi}_{u})$ reactions are found to be particularly conspicuous, notably at the typical temperatures of dense molecular clouds. For these reactions and considering both equilibrium and time-dependent chemistry, theoretical $^{12}$C/$^{13}$C ratios as a function of the gas kinetic temperature are also derived and shown to be consistent with available model chemistry and observational data on C$_{2}$, Comment: Accepted for publication in A&A

Abstract

Large amounts of deep optical images will be available in the near future, allowing statistically significant studies of low surface brightness structures such as intracluster light (ICL) in galaxy clusters. The detection of these structures requires efficient algorithms dedicated to this task, where traditional methods suffer difficulties. We present our new Detection Algorithm with Wavelets for Intracluster light Studies (DAWIS), developed and optimised for the detection of low surface brightness sources in images, in particular (but not limited to) ICL. DAWIS follows a multiresolution vision based on wavelet representation to detect sources, embedded in an iterative procedure called synthesis-by-analysis approach to restore the complete unmasked light distribution of these sources with very good quality. The algorithm is built so sources can be classified based on criteria depending on the analysis goal; we display in this work the case of ICL detection and the measurement of ICL fractions. We test the efficiency of DAWIS on 270 mock images of galaxy clusters with various ICL profiles and compare its efficiency to more traditional ICL detection methods such as the surface brightness threshold method. We also run DAWIS on a real galaxy cluster image, and compare the output to results obtained with previous multiscale analysis algorithms. We find in simulations that in average DAWIS is able to disentangle galaxy light from ICL more efficiently, and to detect a greater quantity of ICL flux due to the way it handles sky background noise. We also show that the ICL fraction, a metric used on a regular basis to characterise ICL, is subject to several measurement biases both on galaxies and ICL fluxes. In the real galaxy cluster image, DAWIS detects a faint and extended source with an absolute magnitude two orders brighter than previous multiscale methods., Comment: 31 pages, 12 figures

Abstract

An analysis of the $\alpha$ + core properties of $^{104}$Te along with a global discussion on the $\alpha$-cluster structure above the double-shell closures is presented from the viewpoint of the local potential model. The $\alpha$ + core interaction is described by a nuclear potential of (1 + Gaussian)$\times$(W.S. + W.S.$^3$) shape with two free parameters, which has been successfully tested in nuclei of different mass regions. The model produces $Q_{\alpha}$ values and $\alpha$-decay half-lives for $^{104}$Te in agreement with the 2018 experimental data of Auranen et al. in the energy range $5.13 \; \mathrm{MeV} < Q_{\alpha} < 5.3 \; \mathrm{MeV}$ using an $\alpha$ preformation factor $P_{\alpha} = 1$. The comparison of the calculated reduced $\alpha$-widths for the ground state bands of $^{104}$Te, $^{94}$Mo and $^{212}$Po indicates that $^{104}$Te has an $\alpha$-cluster degree significantly higher than $^{94}$Mo and much higher than $^{212}$Po. These results point to $^{104}$Te as a preferential nucleus for $\alpha$-clustering in the $N,Z = 50$ region and corroborate the statement on the superallowed $\alpha$-decay in $^{104}$Te., Comment: 11 pages, 3 figures.

Abstract

Background: Literature suggests colonic resection and primary anastomosis (RPA) instead of Hartmann’s procedure (HP) for the treatment of left-sided colonic emergencies. We aim to evaluate the surgical options globally used to treat patients with acute left-sided colonic emergencies and the factors that leading to the choice of treatment, comparing HP and RPA. Methods: This is a prospective, international, multicenter, observational study registered on ClinicalTrials.gov. A total 1215 patients with left-sided colonic emergencies who required surgery were included from 204 centers during the period of March 1, 2020, to May 31, 2020. with a 1-year follow-up. Results: 564 patients (43.1%) were females. The mean age was 65.9 ± 15.6 years. HP was performed in 697 (57.3%) patients and RPA in 384 (31.6%) cases. Complicated acute diverticulitis was the most common cause of left-sided colonic emergencies (40.2%), followed by colorectal malignancy (36.6%). Severe complications (Clavien-Dindo ≥ 3b) were higher in the HP group (P < 0.001). 30-day mortality was higher in HP patients (13.7%), especially in case of bowel perforation and diffused peritonitis. 1-year follow-up showed no differences on ostomy reversal rate between HP and RPA. (P = 0.127). A backward likelihood logistic regression model showed that RPA was preferred in younger patients, having low ASA score (≤ 3), in case of large bowel obstruction, absence of colonic ischemia, longer time from admission to surgery, operating early at the day working hours, by a surgeon who performed more than 50 colorectal resections. Conclusions: After 100 years since the first Hartmann’s procedure, HP remains the most common treatment for left-sided colorectal emergencies. Treatment’s choice depends on patient characteristics, the time of surgery and the experience of the surgeon. RPA should be considered as the gold standard for surgery, with HP being an exception.

Abstract

The Ostwald ripening phenomenon for gas bubbles in a liquid consists mainly in gas transfer from smaller bubbles to larger bubbles. An experiment was carried out in which the Ostwald ripening for air bubbles, in a liquid fluid with some rheological parameters of the human blood, is reproduced. There it has been measured time evolution of bubbles mean radius, number of bubbles and radius size distribution, where the initial bubbles radii normalized distribution behaves like a Tsallis ($q$-Weibull) distribution. One of the main results shows that, while the number of bubbles decreases in time the bubbles mean radius increases, therefore smaller bubbles disappear whereas the, potentially dangerous for the diver, larger bubbles grow up. Consequently, it is presumed that such a bubble broadening effect could contribute, even minimally, to decompression illness: decompression sickness and arterial gas embolism. This conjecture is reinforced by the preliminary results of Ostwald broadening to RGBM (Reduced Gradient Bubble Model) decompression schedules for a closed circuit rebreather (CCR) dive to 420fsw (128m) with 21/79 Heliox gas mixture., Comment: 7 pages, 8 figures, references added. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1711.08987

Abstract

Background. In recent years, the healthcare landscape has seen a paradigm shift towards patient‐centeredness in the provision of nursing care. The Primary Nursing Care Model has aroused interest as an approach that prioritizes the individualization and continuity of care, as well as the involvement of the patient in decision‐making about their health, which may impact professional satisfaction, as well as the quality and safety of nursing care. Aim. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of implementing the Primary Nursing Care Model in a hospital service. Methods. This study employed a quasi‐experimental, single‐group design with pre‐ and postintervention evaluations. It involved a convenience sample of 48 nurses from an internal medicine department. Data collection took place between June and November 2023. The intervention consisted of the implementation of the Primary Nursing Care Model. A questionnaire was used to characterize the sociodemographics of the participants, followed by instruments that made it possible to assess missed care, professional nursing practice environments, safety culture, job satisfaction for nurses, and the perception of activities that contribute to the quality of care. Results. The implementation of the Primary Nursing Care Model showed positive results compared to preimplementation. There were statistically significant differences when applying the Wilcoxon test, p < 0.005, with a reduction in missed care, an enhancement of the professional nursing practice environment and safety culture in nursing practice, as well as nurses' job satisfaction and enhanced perception of the activities that contribute to the quality of care. Conclusion. The implementation of the Primary Nursing Care Model in a hospital setting has demonstrated valuable contributions, underscoring its potential to improve the quality of nursing care and promote patient‐centered care approaches. Further research is recommended to explore its application in diverse healthcare settings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Astrophysical tests of the stability of fundamental couplings, such as the fine-structure constant $\alpha$, are a powerful probe of new physics. Recently these measurements, combined with local atomic clock tests and Type Ia supernova and Hubble parameter data, were used to constrain the simplest class of dynamical dark energy models where the same degree of freedom is assumed to provide both the dark energy and (through a dimensionless coupling, $\zeta$, to the electromagnetic sector) the $\alpha$ variation. One caveat of these analyses was that it was based on fiducial models where the dark energy equation of state was described by a single parameter (effectively its present day value, $w_0$). Here we relax this assumption and study broader dark energy model classes, including the Chevallier-Polarski-Linder and Early Dark Energy parametrizations. Even in these extended cases we find that the current data constrains the coupling $\zeta$ at the $10^{-6}$ level and $w_0$ to a few percent (marginalizing over other parameters), thus confirming the robustness of earlier analyses. On the other hand, the additional parameters are typically not well constrained. We also highlight the implications of our results for constraints on violations of the Weak Equivalence Principle and improvements to be expected from forthcoming measurements with high-resolution ultra-stable spectrographs., Comment: 13 pages, 11 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1508.06157, arXiv:1505.02196

Abstract

New bathymetric and subsurface data from the Santos Basin, offshore southeast Brazil, reveal sharp lateral morphological variations facing the margin-parallel (along-margin) flow of the Antarctic Intermediate Water. The data, derived from 3D Pre-Stack Depth Migrated (PSDM) seismic reflection volumes, show on a ∼100 km long Southern segment slope gullies, mass transport deposits, and scars. These morphologies sharply shift laterally to a ∼50 km long Northern segment, typified by a smooth relief built of plastered contourite drifts with occasional elongated depressions. We examine this sharp lateral shift in the morphology of bottom current indicators in view of the hydrodynamical regime, sediment sources, and their distribution pattern. Results indicate that the sharp lateral morphological shift is attributed to (1) a 30° change in slope orientation, and (2) a northward increase in the across-margin velocity component of the Intermediate Water Boundary Current (IWBC). Subsurface data suggest this flow pattern has persisted since the mid-Miocene. In this case study, the lateral morphological shifts under contemporary hydrodynamic conditions emphasize the importance of understanding the coupling between ocean bottom currents and the seafloor in any marine environment.

Abstract

Astrophysical tests of the stability of fundamental couplings, such as the fine-structure constant $\alpha$, are becoming an increasingly powerful probe of new physics. Here we discuss how these measurements, combined with local atomic clock tests and Type Ia supernova and Hubble parameter data, constrain the simplest class of dynamical dark energy models where the same degree of freedom is assumed to provide both the dark energy and (through a dimensionless coupling, $\zeta$, to the electromagnetic sector) the $\alpha$ variation. Specifically, current data tightly constrains a combination of $\zeta$ and the present dark energy equation of state $w_0$. Moreover, in these models the new degree of freedom inevitably couples to nucleons (through the $\alpha$ dependence of their masses) and leads to violations of the Weak Equivalence Principle. We obtain indirect bounds on the E\"otv\"os parameter $\eta$ that are typically stronger than the current direct ones. We discuss the model-dependence of our results and briefly comment on how the forthcoming generation of high-resolution ultra-stable spectrographs will enable significantly tighter constraints., Comment: 22 pages, JCAP (in press)

39. Curvature in graphene nanoribbons generates temporally and spatially focused electric currents

Abstract

Today graphene nanoribbons and other graphene-based nanostructures can be synthesized with atomic precision. But while investigations have concentrated on straight graphene ribbons of fixed crystal orientation, ribbons with intrinsic curvature have remained mainly unexplored. Here, we investigate electronic transport in intrinsically curved graphene nanoribbons coupled to straight leads, using two computational approaches. Stationary approach shows that while the straight leads govern the conductance gap, the presence of curvature blurs the gap and reduces on-off ratio. An advanced time-dependent approach shows that behind the fa\c{c}ade of calm stationary transport the currents run violently: curvature triggers temporally and spatially focused electric currents, to the extent that for short durations single carbon-carbon bonds carry currents far exceeding the steady-state currents in the entire ribbons. Recognizing this focusing is pivotal for a robust design of graphene sensors and circuitries.

Abstract

Upper ocean fronts are dynamically active features of the global ocean playing a key role in the air‐sea exchanges of properties and their transport in the ocean interior. With scales ranging from the submesoscale (0.1–10 km) to the mesoscale (10–100s km) and a temporal variability from hours to months, collecting in situ observations of these structures is challenging and this has limited our understanding of their associated processes and impacts. During the EUREC4A‐OA/ATOMIC field experiment, which took place in the northwest tropical Atlantic in January–February 2020, a large number of uncrewed platforms, including five Saildrones, were deployed to provide a detailed picture of the upper‐ocean fine‐scale variability. This region is strongly influenced by the outflow of the Amazon River, even in winter, which is the minimum outflow season. Here, the generation of fine‐scale horizontal thermohaline gradients is driven by the stirring of this freshwater river input by large anticyclonic eddies, the so‐called North Brazil Current Rings. Vertical shear estimates using the Saildrones ADCP show that partial temperature compensation occurs along restratifying submesoscale salinity‐dominated fronts. The distribution of surface along‐track gradients, as sampled by different horizontal length‐scales, reveals the prevalence of submesoscale fronts. This is supported by a flattening of the spectral slopes of surface density at the submesoscale. This study emphasizes the need to resolve the upper ocean at high spatial resolution to understand its impact on the broader circulation and to properly represent air‐sea interactions. Plain Language Summary: Oceanic eddies and filaments that range between 10 and 100 km in size can be identified in the study region of the northwestern tropical Atlantic using ocean color as viewed from space (a proxy for chlorophyll‐a). The ocean color maps show that these eddies and filaments are associated with the detachment from the shelf of a freshwater Amazon plume and its interaction with the larger oceanic motions O $\mathcal{O}$(100 km). Field observations from different measurements acquired from research vessels and five uncrewed surface vehicles (USVs) reveal the prevalence and scale of upper ocean fronts, whose magnitude results from the combined effect of temperature and salinity. The Amazon freshwater plume is key to the formation of strong salinity‐driven density fronts. However, when looking at O $\mathcal{O}$(1 km) scales, we detect horizontal temperature variations along slumping fronts that partially counteract the effect of salinity. This leads to a damping of the lateral density fronts. This study contributes to the development of a detailed picture of the ocean fine scales, which is necessary to improve our understanding of air‐sea interactions over frontal regions. Key Points: Vertical shear sections from the Saildrone ADCP data reveal that temperature compensation develops along restratifying submesoscale frontsTemperature and salinity spectra show an increased temperature contribution to salinity‐dominated fronts at the submesoscaleA flattening of the density spectra from ~−3 to ~−2 at the submesoscale (1–10 km) is observed in the Boulevard des Tourbillons [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
