Semicentral idempotents in the multiplication ring of a centrally closed prime ring
Let R be a ring and let M(R) stand for the multiplication ring of R. An idempotent E in M(R) is called left semicentral if its range E(R) is a right ideal of R. In the case that R is prime and centrally closed we give a description of the left semicentral idempotents in M(R). As an application we prove that, if, in addition, M(R) is Baer (respectively, regular or Rickart), then R is Baer (respectively, regular or Rickart). Similar results for *-rings are also proved.• Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades de España y Fondos FEDER: Proyecto MTM2009-12067

Effect of climatic oscillations on small pelagic fisheries and its economic profit in the Gulf of Cadiz
Several studies have shown the effect of climatic oscillations on fisheries. Small pelagic fish are of special global economic importance and very sensitive to fluctuations in the physical environment in which they live. The main goal of this study was to explore the relationship between the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), the East Atlantic pattern (EA), and the Arctic Oscillation (AO) on the landings and first sale prices of the most representative small pelagic commercial species of the purse-seine fisheries in the Gulf of Cadiz (North East Atlantic), the European anchovy Engraulis encrasicolus and the European sardine Sardine pilchardus. Generalised linear models (GLMs) with different data transformations and distribution errors were generated to analyse these relationships. The best results of the models were obtained by applying a moving average of order 3 to the dataset with a double weighted median. Our results demonstrate relationships between NAO, AO, and EA and European anchovy and sardine landings. These cause an indirect effect on the first sale price in markets through catch variations, which affect the price according to the law of supply and demand. The limitations of this study and management implications are discussed.Postprint2,5
Temporal evolution of the Evershed flow in sunspots. I. Observational characterization of Evershed clouds
[Abridged] The magnetic and kinematic properties of the photospheric Evershed
flow are relatively well known, but we are still far from a complete
understanding of its nature. The evolution of the flow with time, which is
mainly due to appearance of velocity packets called Evershed clouds (ECs), may
provide information to further constrain its origin. Here we undertake a
detailed analysis of the evolution of the Evershed flow by studying the
properties of ECs. In this first paper we determine the sizes, proper motions,
location in the penumbra, and frequency of appearance of ECs, as well as their
typical Doppler velocities, linear and circular polarization signals, Stokes V
area asymmetries, and continuum intensities. High-cadence, high-resolution,
full vector spectropolarimetric measurements in visible and infrared lines are
used to derive these parameters. We find that ECs appear in the mid penumbra
and propage outward along filaments with large linear polarization signals and
enhanced Evershed flows. The frequency of appearance of ECs varies between 15
and 40 minutes in different filaments. ECs exhibit the largest Doppler
velocities and linear-to-circular polarization ratios of the whole penumbra. In
addition, lines formed deeper in the atmosphere show larger Doppler velocities,
much in the same way as the ''quiescent'' Evershed flow. According to our
observations, ECs can be classified in two groups: type I ECs, which vanish in
the outer penumbra, and type II ECs, which cross the outer penumbral boundary
and enter the sunspot moat. Most of the observed ECs belong to type I. On
average, type II ECs can be detected as velocity structures outside of the spot
for only about 14 min. Their proper motions in the moat are significantly
reduced with respect to the ones they had in the penumbra.Comment: Accepted for publication in A&

Facility: CTIO:1.5 m (DECam).The High Cadence Transient Survey (HiTS) aims to discover and study transient objects with characteristic timescales between hours and days, such as pulsating, eclipsing, and exploding stars. This survey represents a unique laboratory to explore large etendue observations from cadences of about 0.1 days and test new computational tools for the analysis of large data. This work follows a fully data science approach, from the raw data to the analysis and classification of variable sources. We compile a catalog of ∼15 million object detections and a catalog of ∼2.5 million light curves classified by variability. The typical depth of the survey is 24.2, 24.3, 24.1, and 23.8 in the u, g, r, and i bands, respectively. We classified all point-like nonmoving sources by first extracting features from their light curves and then applying a random forest classifier. For the classification, we used a training set constructed using a combination of cross-matched catalogs, visual inspection, transfer/active learning, and data augmentation. The classification model consists of several random forest classifiers organized in a hierarchical scheme. The classifier accuracy estimated on a test set is approximately 97%. In the unlabeled data, 3485 sources were classified as variables, of which 1321 were classified as periodic. Among the periodic classes, we discovered with high confidence one δ Scuti, 39 eclipsing binaries, 48 rotational variables, and 90 RR Lyrae, and for the nonperiodic classes, we discovered one cataclysmic variable, 630 QSOs, and one supernova candidate.

Ballistic versus diffusive magnetoresistance of a magnetic point contact
The quasiclassical theory of a nanosize point contacts (PC) between two
ferromagnets is developed. The maximum available magnetoresistance values in PC
are calculated for ballistic versus diffusive transport through the area of a
contact. In the ballistic regime the magnetoresistance in excess of few
hundreds percents is obtained for the iron-group ferromagnets. The necessary
conditions for realization of so large magnetoresistance in PC, and the
experimental results by Garcia et al are discussedComment: 4 pages, TEX, 1 Figur
Eocene-Oligocene magnetostratigraphy from the central part of the SE margin of the Ebro Basin
Previous magnetostratigraphic studies focused in the Eocene successions of the eastern Ebro Basin have provided some absolute age for the basin infill. These results were based on some biostratigraphic constraints wich have been recently challenged. Our new results from the approximately 3000 m thick Montserrat and Maians-Rubió magnetostratigraphic sections have been integrated into the both marine and continental biochronology data, providing a more independent chronology. The resulting absolute chronology of the Montserrat-Rubió composite section represents about 10 My, covering the Lutetian to Rupelian (approximately 40.7 to 30.5 Ma). This leads to the re-evaluation of the age of the La Salut Fm. (Lutetian to Bartonian) and the Montserrat conglomerates (Bartonian to Priabonian). The last marine regression in the central part of the SE margin of the Ebro Basin yields an approximate age of about 36.0 Ma (Priabonian)
