We present Nemo-Nordic, a Baltic & North Sea model based on the NEMO ocean engine. Surrounded by highly industrialised countries, the Baltic and North seas, and their assets associated with shipping, fishing and tourism; are vulnerable to anthropogenic pressure and climate change. Ocean models providing reliable forecasts, and enabling climatic studies, are important tools for the shipping infrastructure and to get a better understanding of effects of climate change on the marine ecosystems. Nemo-Nordic is intended to come as a tool for both short term and long term simulations, and to be used for ocean forecasting as well as process and climatic studies. Here, the scientific and technical choices within Nemo-Nordic are introduced, and the reasons behind the design of the model and its domain, and the inclusions of the two seas, are explained. The model's ability to represent barotropic and baroclinic dynamics, as well as the vertical structure of the water column, is presented. Biases are shown and discussed. The short term capabilities of the model are presented, and especially its capabilities to represent sea level on an hourly timescale with a high degree of accuracy. We also show that the model can represent longer time scale, with a focus on the Major Baltic Inflows and the variability of deep water salinity in the Baltic Sea. | 9 |

Large area surveys continue to increase the samples of galaxy clusters that can be used to constrain cosmological parameters, provided that the masses of the clusters are measured robustly. To improve the calibration of cluster masses using weak gravitational lensing we present new results for 48 clusters at 0.05 < z < 0.15, observed as part of the Multi Epoch Nearby Cluster Survey, and re-evaluate the mass estimates for 52 clusters from the Canadian Cluster Comparison Project. Updated high-fidelity photometric redshift catalogues of reference deep fields are used in combination with advances in shape measurements and state-of-the-art cluster simulations, yielding an average systematic uncertainty in the lensing signal below 5 per cent, similar to the statistical uncertainty for our cluster sample. We derive a scaling relation with Planck measurements for the full sample and find a bias in the Planck masses of 1 - b = 0.84 ± 0.04 (stat) ±0.05 (syst). We find no statistically significant trend of the mass bias with redshift or cluster mass, but find that different selections could change the bias by up to 0.07. We find a gas fraction of 0.139 ± 0.014 (stat) for eight relaxed clusters in our sample, which can also be used to infer cosmological parameters. | 9 |
We seek to conduct a pilot observation with MIRI/MRS to map the warm molecular hydrogen in the circumgalactic medium (CGM) of the brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) of MACS1931-26. The target harbours one of the largest known H2 reservoir in a cluster core revealed by ALMA. Its cold gas, as traced by CO, is spatially extended over a tail of ~30kpc beyond the BCG core. Submillimeter observations using single-dish and interferometry reveal extreme thermal and excitation conditions in the CGM gas: the dust and gas is thermally decoupled, and the CGM is unusually highly excited. A plethora of evidence points to a drastically different condition in the CGM than typical gas found in galaxies: the thermal gas states are dominated by highly energetic particles rather than FUV-photons from young stars as in galaxies. <P />JWST/MIRI is uniquely capable of revealing a potentially massive warm H2 reservoir in the CGM. We propose a pilot observation with MIRI/MRS to map the 3D structure of the warm molecular gas in the BCG core and the extended CGM tail of MACS1931, in order to: (1) detect and map the spatial extent and temperature distribution of the warm H2 emission; (2) compare the warm H2 emission to the cold H2 emission mapped by CO. The H2 0-0 S(1) and S(5) line maps will enable us to measure the total gas mass and temperature distribution. By probing the CGM gas across a range of temperatures, we will scrutinize the impact of AGN feedback on the baryon cycle, and assess the role of shocks and turbulence in the heating and cooling of the CGM. | 9 |

We present sensitive 870 μm continuum measurements from our ALMA programmes of 114 X-ray selected active galactic nuclei (AGN) in the Chandra Deep Field-South and Cosmic Evolution Survey fields. We use these observations in combination with data from Spitzer and Herschel to construct a sample of 86 X-ray selected AGN, 63 with ALMA constraints at z = 1.5-3.2 with stellar mass >2 × 10<SUP>10</SUP> M<SUB>⊙</SUB>. We constructed broad-band spectral energy distributions in the infrared band (8-1000 μm) and constrain star-formation rates (SFRs) uncontaminated by the AGN. Using a hierarchical Bayesian method that takes into account the information from upper limits, we fit SFR and specific SFR (sSFR) distributions. We explore these distributions as a function of both X-ray luminosity and stellar mass. We compare our measurements to two versions of the Evolution and Assembly of GaLaxies and their Environments (EAGLE) hydrodynamical simulations: the reference model with AGN feedback and the model without AGN. We find good agreement between the observations and that predicted by the EAGLE reference model for the modes and widths of the sSFR distributions as a function of both X-ray luminosity and stellar mass; however, we found that the EAGLE model without AGN feedback predicts a significantly narrower width when compared to the data. Overall, from the combination of the observations with the model predictions, we conclude that (1) even with AGN feedback, we expect no strong relationship between the sSFR distribution parameters and instantaneous AGN luminosity and (2) a signature of AGN feedback is a broad distribution of sSFRs for all galaxies (not just those hosting an AGN) with stellar masses above ≈10<SUP>10</SUP> M<SUB>⊙</SUB>. | 9 |

We review the mechanisms driving the ionized gas outflows in radio-quiet (RQ) AGN. Although it constitutes ∼90% of the AGN population, what drives these outflows in these AGNs remains an open question. High-resolution imaging and integral field unit (IFU) observation is key to spatially resolving these outflows, whereas radio observations are important to comprehend the underlying radiative processes. Radio interferometric observations have detected linear, collimated structures on the hundreds of pc scale in RQ AGN, which may be very similar to the extended radio jets in powerful galaxies. Proper motions measured in some objects are sub-relativistic. Other processes, such as synchrotron radiation from shock-accelerated gas around the outflows could give rise to radio emissions as well. Near the launching region, these outflows may be driven by the thermal energy of the accretion disk and exhibit free–free emission. IFU observations on the other hand have detected evidence of both winds and jets and the outflows driven by them in radio-quiet AGN. Some examples include nearby AGN such as Mrk 1044 and HE 1353-1917. An IFU study of nearby (z <0.06) RQ AGN has found that these outflows may be related to their radio properties on <100 pc scale, rather than their accretion properties. Recent JWST observations of RQ AGN XID 2028 have revealed that radio jets and wind could inflate bubbles, create cavities, and trigger star formation. Future high-resolution multi-wavelength observations and numerical simulations taking account of both jets and winds are hence essential to understand the complex interaction between radio-quiet AGN and the host from sub-pc to kpc scales. | 9 |

The Taipan galaxy survey (hereafter simply `Taipan') is a multi-object spectroscopic survey starting in 2017 that will cover 2π steradians over the southern sky (δ ≲ 10°, |b| ≳ 10°), and obtain optical spectra for about two million galaxies out to z < 0.4. Taipan will use the newly refurbished 1.2-m UK Schmidt Telescope at Siding Spring Observatory with the new TAIPAN instrument, which includes an innovative `Starbugs' positioning system capable of rapidly and simultaneously deploying up to 150 spectroscopic fibres (and up to 300 with a proposed upgrade) over the 6° diameter focal plane, and a purpose-built spectrograph operating in the range from 370 to 870 nm with resolving power R ≳ 2000. The main scientific goals of Taipan are (i) to measure the distance scale of the Universe (primarily governed by the local expansion rate, H <SUB>0</SUB>) to 1% precision, and the growth rate of structure to 5%; (ii) to make the most extensive map yet constructed of the total mass distribution and motions in the local Universe, using peculiar velocities based on improved Fundamental Plane distances, which will enable sensitive tests of gravitational physics; and (iii) to deliver a legacy sample of low-redshift galaxies as a unique laboratory for studying galaxy evolution as a function of dark matter halo and stellar mass and environment. The final survey, which will be completed within 5 yrs, will consist of a complete magnitude-limited sample (i ⩽ 17) of about 1.2 × 10<SUP>6</SUP> galaxies supplemented by an extension to higher redshifts and fainter magnitudes (i ⩽ 18.1) of a luminous red galaxy sample of about 0.8 × 10<SUP>6</SUP> galaxies. Observations and data processing will be carried out remotely and in a fully automated way, using a purpose-built automated `virtual observer' software and an automated data reduction pipeline. The Taipan survey is deliberately designed to maximise its legacy value by complementing and enhancing current and planned surveys of the southern sky at wavelengths from the optical to the radio; it will become the primary redshift and optical spectroscopic reference catalogue for the local extragalactic Universe in the southern sky for the coming decade. | 9 |

the present invention is directed to novel implementation techniques which makes orthogonal cdma practical in an a short range mobile telephone environment where significant multipath fading exists . specifically , novel techniques for establishing the time base , frequency , and power control necessary to achieve orthogonality . use of a high power sounding burst on the outbound link permits : 1 ) antenna diversity selection to minimize the probability of a faded condition , 2 ) local frequency locking at the subscriber terminal which avoids the requirement for a costly precision frequency standard , and 3 ) essentially instantaneous inbound power control based on the outbound receive signal level . this is effective since time division duplexing is used and both transmission and reception take place on the same frequency . with the short frame structure and unique placement of the sounding burst the correlation between the outbound and inbound path losses is very high . thus , the signal structure and control algorithms result in a greatly reduced signal level range at the base station / pbx to achieve high efficiency in a orthogonal cdma system . real world effects such as filtering , multipath time spread , and time base error destroy orthogonality and introduce a degree of cross coupling between supposedly orthogonal channels . thus , the system provides accurately controlled power levels in this highly dynamic environment . | 7 |

We present a machine learning package for the classification of periodic variable stars. Our package is intended to be general: it can classify any single band optical light curve comprising at least a few tens of observations covering durations from weeks to years with arbitrary time sampling. We use light curves of periodic variable stars taken from OGLE and EROS-2 to train the model. To make our classifier relatively survey-independent, it is trained on 16 features extracted from the light curves (e.g., period, skewness, Fourier amplitude ratio). The model classifies light curves into one of seven superclasses - δ Scuti, RR Lyrae, Cepheid, Type II Cepheid, eclipsing binary, long-period variable, non-variable - as well as subclasses of these, such as ab, c, d, and e types for RR Lyraes. When trained to give only superclasses, our model achieves 0.98 for both recall and precision as measured on an independent validation dataset (on a scale of 0 to 1). When trained to give subclasses, it achieves 0.81 for both recall and precision. The majority of misclassifications of the subclass model is caused by confusion within a superclass rather than between superclasses. To assess classification performance of the subclass model, we applied it to the MACHO, LINEAR, and ASAS periodic variables, which gave recall/precision of 0.92/0.98, 0.89/0.96, and 0.84/0.88, respectively. We also applied the subclass model to Hipparcos periodic variable stars of many other variability types that do not exist in our training set, in order to examine how much those types degrade the classification performance of our target classes. In addition, we investigate how the performance varies with the number of data points and duration of observations. We find that recall and precision do not vary significantly if there are more than 80 data points and the duration is more than a few weeks. <P />The classifier software of the subclass model is available (in Python) from the GitHub repository (<A href="http://goo.gl/xmFO6Q">https://goo.gl/xmFO6Q</A>). | 9 |

We look into the abundance of Dual AGN (active galactic nucleus) in the largest hydrodynamical simulation from the Evolution and Assembly of GaLaxies and their Environment (EAGLE) project. We define a Dual AGN as two active black holes (BHs) with a separation below 30 kpc. We find that only 1 per cent of AGN with L<SUB>HX</SUB> ≥ 10<SUP>42</SUP> erg s<SUP>-1</SUP> are part of a Dual AGN system at z = 0.8-1. During the evolution of a typical binary BH system, the rapid variability of the hard X-ray luminosity on Myr time-scales severely limits the detectability of Dual AGN. To quantify this effect, we calculate a probability of detection, t<SUB>on</SUB>/t<SUB>30</SUB>, where t<SUB>30</SUB> is the time in which the two BHs are separated at distances below 30 kpc and t<SUB>on</SUB>, the time that both AGNs are visible (e.g. when both AGNs have L<SUB>HX</SUB> ≥ 10<SUP>42</SUP> erg s<SUP>-1</SUP>) in this period. We find that the average fraction of visible Dual systems is 3 per cent. The visible Dual AGN distribution as a function of BH separation presents a pronounced peak at ∼20 kpc that can be understood as a result of the rapid orbital decay of the host galaxies after their first encounter. We also find that 75 per cent of the host galaxies have recently undergone or are undergoing a merger with stellar mass ratio ≥0.1. Finally, we find that the fraction of visible Dual AGN increases with redshift as found in observations. | 9 |
a system is provided for the automatic drop - off of at least one object on a conveyor belt for the purpose of the transport of the at least one object . the system includes : at least one apparatus for delimiting an area , called a drop - off area , allowing access to the conveyor belt and including at least one point of entry into the drop - off area and at least one point of exit from the drop - off area ; at each point of entry into the drop - off area , at least one first reader , for reading an item of authorization data ; in the drop - off area : at least one second reader , for reading an item of authorization data ; at least one delivery apparatus for delivering a tag , of identification to be affixed to the object to be dropped ; and at least one database which can be accessed by the readers . | 1 |
