DISCOVERY OF A RICH CLUSTER AT z = 1.63 USING THE REST-FRAME 1.6 μm “STELLAR BUMP SEQUENCE” METHOD

We present a new two-color algorithm, the “Stellar Bump Sequence” (SBS), that is optimized for robustly identifying candidate high-redshift galaxy clusters in combined wide-field optical and mid-infrared (MIR) data. The SBS algorithm is a fusion of the well-tested cluster red-sequence method of Gladders & Yee with the MIR 3.6 μm–4.5 μm cluster detection method developed by Papovich. As with the cluster red-sequence method, the SBS identifies candidate overdensities within 3.6 μm–4.5 μm color slices, which are the equivalent of a rest-frame 1.6 μm stellar bump “red-sequence. ” In addition to employing the MIR colors of galaxies, the SBS algorithm incorporates an optical/MIR (z′–3.6 μm) color cut. This cut effectively eliminates foreground 0.2 1.0 galaxies and add noise when searching for high-redshift galaxy overdensities. We demonstrate using the z ∼ 1 GCLASS cluster sample that similar to the red sequence, the stellar bump sequence appears to be a ubiquitous feature of high-redshift clusters, and that within that sample the color of the stellar bump sequence increases monotonically with redshift and provides photometric redshifts accurate to Δz = 0.05. We apply the SBS method in the XMM-LSS SWIRE field and show that it robustly recovers the majority of confirmed optical, MIR, and X-ray-selected clusters at z > 1.0 in that field. Lastly, we present confirmation of SpARCS J022427-032354 at z = 1.63, a new cluster detected with the method and confirmed with 12 high-confidence spectroscopic redshifts obtained using FORS2 on the Very Large Telescope. We conclude with a discussion of future prospects for using the algorithm.

Dedicated SAR interferometric analysis to detect subtle deformation in evaporite areas around Zaragoza, NE Spain

A high density of local natural and human-induced ground deformation structures resulting from the presence of evaporites occur extensively around Zaragoza (NE Spain), posing risks to infrastructure, buildings and agriculture. We studied the potential of a series of interferograms constructed from 29 European Radar Satellite (ERS)-1/2 images to detect different types of ground deformation related to evaporite dissolution, landslides and mining subsidence. We examined the factors involved in the usefulness and quality of interferograms, especially in relation to coherence and atmospheric circumstances. Favourable conditions were found in desert or developed areas, while agricultural practises caused decorrelation in most sinkhole-prone areas. Results are consistent with previous geomorphological data and indicate that different natural and human-induced deformation phenomena can be detected in a time lag less than 5 years in evaporite areas. Advanced interferometric techniques based on time series of SAR images are needed for precise measurement and monitoring purposes.
THE OPTICAL AND INFRARED PHOTOMETRIC EVOLUTION OF THE RECENT STELLAR MERGER, V1309 SCO

Nova Sco 2008 was recently shown to have resulted from the merger of the two stars in the contact binary V1309 Sco. This is the first stellar merger ever observed between two convective stars. We present archival data, new infrared photometry, and Hubble Space Telescope WFC3 imaging of V1309 Sco. Spitzer observations show that it had a large infrared excess in the 3.6 μm to 8 μm range more than a year before the merger. Standard color diagnostics of the pre-merger infrared colors place V1309 Sco in the same region where evolved stars with chemically complex mass loss are located. Since the nova outburst subsided in optical bandpasses in 2008, the merger remnant's brightness in optical bandpasses, near-IR bandpasses, and the Spitzer 3.6 μm and 4.5 μm channels has varied by several magnitudes and in complex ways. A temporary, strong increase in the reddening during 2010 suggests the occurrence of a dust formation event. We point out several peculiarities in the relative fluxes and time behavior of the optical and near-IR magnitudes, which could be explained if some of the photometric bandpasses in the 1–5 μm range are strongly affected by emission lines.
Cell Growth Checkpoint ( s ) Regulation of G 1 Cell Cycle Progression : Distinguishing the Restriction Point from a Nutrient-Sensing

Most genetic changes that promote tumorigenesis involve dysregulation of G1 cell cycle progression. A key regulatory site in G1 is a growth factor–dependent restriction point (R) where cells commit to mitosis. In addition to the growth factor–dependent “R,” which maps to a site about 3.5 hours after mitosis, there is another checkpoint later in G1 that is dependent on nutritional sufficiency that has also been referred to as R. However, this second site in late G1 can be distinguished both temporally and genetically from R. We are proposing that the late G1 regulatory site be more appropriately referred to as a “cell growth” checkpoint to distinguish it from R. This checkpoint, which likely has an evolutionary relationship to the yeast cell cycle checkpoint START, is regulated by signals governed by mTOR, the mammalian target of rapamycin. This review summarizes evidence that distinguishes R from the proposed cell growth checkpoint. Since both checkpoints are dysregulated in most, if not all, human cancers, distinguishing between these 2 distinct G1 regulatory checkpoints has significance for rational therapeutic strategies targeting oncogenic signals.
D ec 2 01 0 WITS-CTP-64 The FZZ duality with boundary

The Fateev-Zamolodchikov-Zamolodchikov (FZZ) duality relates Witten’s cigar model to sine-Liouville theory. This duality was proven in the path integral formulation and extended to the case of higher genus closed Riemann surfaces by Schomerus and one of the authors. In this note we further extend the duality to the case with boundary. Specifically, we relate D1-branes in the cigar model to D2-branes in the sine-Liouville theory. In particular, the boundary action for D2-branes in the sineLiouville theory is constructed. We also consider the fermionic version of the FZZ duality. This duality was proven as a mirror symmetry by Hori and Kapustin, but we give an alternative proof in the path integral formulation which directly relates correlation functions. Also here the case with boundary is investigated and the results are consistent with those for branes in N = 2 super Liouville field theory obtained by Hosomichi.

1 Emitted Power Of Jupiter 2 Based On Cassini CIRS And VIMS Observations 3 4

26 27 The emitted power of Jupiter and its meridional distribution are determined from observations by 28 the Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS) and Visual and Infrared Spectrometer (VIMS) 29 onboard Cassini during its flyby en route to Saturn in late 2000 and early 2001. Jupiter’s global30 average emitted power and effective temperature are measured to be 14.10 0.03 Wm and 31 125.57 0.07 K, respectively. On a global scale, Jupiter’s 5m thermal emission contributes ~ 32 0.7 0.1% to the total emitted power at the global scale, but it can reach ~ 1.9 0.6% at 15 N. The 33 meridional distribution of emitted power shows a significant asymmetry between the two 34 hemispheres with the emitted power in the northern hemisphere 3.0 0.3% larger than that in the 35 southern hemisphere. Such an asymmetry shown in the Cassini epoch (2000-01) is not present 36 during the Voyager epoch (1979). In addition, the global-average emitted power increased ~ 37 3.8 1.0% between the two epochs. The temporal variation of Jupiter’s total emitted power is 38 mainly due to the warming of atmospheric layers around the pressure level of 200 mbar. The 39 temporal variation of emitted power was also discovered on Saturn (Li et al., 2010). Therefore, 40 we suggest that the varying emitted power is a common phenomenon on the giant planets. 41 42 43 44 45
Estimation de l'impact du changement dans les programmes à objets

Object oriented technology produces structured software systems, which are easy to maintain. After delivery, a system enters maintenance during which requests of modifications are forrnulated by the users and analysis and determination of change impacts are carried out by the maintenance team. Once the code is rnodified and the tests realized, a new version of the system is delivered. Today, the need for reducing the cost of maintenance is increasingly challenging managers as well as engineers in charge of maintenance. In fact, the need of keeping aiways systems operational and up to date is costly. Change impact analysis is one of the maintenance techniques that allows engineers and managers to identify the parts of a system affected by the change and thus to provide an estimate of the resotirces necessary for its achievement. In this dissertation, we propose a rnethodology for estirnating change impact of object-oriented systems. It is based on an approach of change impact analysis, which wc elaborated tising object-oriented design metrics. We propose two assumptions for binding the properties of object-oriented design, inheritance and coupling, with change impact. Then we use machine leaming algorithms to produce our predictive models. In our empirical study, we selected a set of types of changes and used the model of change impact suggested by the approach. An experiment was carried on two industrial systems, in collaboration with the Computer Research Institute ofMontreal (CRIM). The metrics were calculated using two tools: BOAP, a toolbox for the analysis of programs, and another tool that we implemented with Eclipse. Finally, we evaluate the methodology and analyze the results. The results reveal that object-oriented design metrics related to inheritance and coupling are good indicators of change impact.
Market Share Response When Consumers Seek Variety

Using a model of consumer variety-seeking, the authors study the long-term market share implications of changes in variety-seeking intensity, brand preferences, and pairwise similarities between brands. Those analytically derived guidelines are examined in three-brand and five-brand markets through simulation. The least preferred brand is found generally to gain market share as variety-seeking intensifies whereas the most preferred brand tends to lose share. If two brands are perceived as having become more similar without a change in overall preferences, the repositioned brands are likely to lose market share while uninvolved brands gain share. If two brands are perceived as having become more similar in a way that increases overall preference for those repositioned brands, they should gain market share while uninvolved brands lose it. A behavioral experiment provides preliminary empirical support for some of the findings.
The Relation Between Ground Motion, Earthquake Source Parameters, and Attenuation: Implications for Source Parameter Inversion and Ground Motion Prediction Equations

Theoretical equations relating the root‐mean‐square (rms) of the far‐field ground motions with earthquake source parameters and attenuation are derived for Brune's omega‐squared model that is subject to attenuation. This set of model‐based predictions paves the way for a completely new approach for earthquake source parameter inversion and forms the basis for new physics‐based ground motion prediction equations (GMPEs). The equations for ground displacement, velocity, and acceleration constitute a set of three independent equations with three unknowns: the seismic moment, the stress drop, and the attenuation parameter. These are used for source parameter inversion that circumvents the time‐to‐frequency transformation. Initially, the two source parameters and the attenuation constant are solved simultaneously for each seismogram. Sometimes, however, this one‐step inversion results in ambiguous solutions. Under such circumstances, the procedure proceeds to a two‐step approach, in which a station‐specific attenuation parameter is first determined by averaging the set of attenuation parameters obtained from seismograms whose one‐step inversion yields well‐constrained solutions. Subsequently, the two source parameters are solved using the averaged attenuation parameter. It is concluded that the new scheme is more stable than a frequency domain method, resulting in considerably less within‐event source parameter variability. The above results together with rms‐to‐peak ground motion relations are combined to give first‐order GMPEs for acceleration, velocity, and displacement. In contrast to empirically based GMPEs, the ones introduced here are extremely simple and readily implementable, even in low‐seismicity regions, where the earthquake catalog lacks strong ground motion records.
PARTIALLY COOLED SHOCKS: DETECTABLE PRECURSORS IN THE WARM/HOT INTERGALACTIC MEDIUM

I present computations of the integrated column densities produced in the post-shock cooling layers and in the radiative precursors of partially cooled fast shocks as a function of the shock age. The results are applicable to the shock-heated warm/hot intergalactic medium which is expected to be a major baryonic reservoir and contain a large fraction of the so-called missing baryons. My computations indicate that readily observable amounts of intermediate and high ions, such as C iv, N v, and O vi, are created in the precursors of young shocks, for which the shocked gas remains hot and difficult to observe. I suggest that such precursors may provide a way to identify and estimate the “missing” baryonic mass associated with the shocks. The absorption-line signatures predicted here may be used to construct ion-ratio diagrams, which will serve as diagnostics for the photoionized gas in the precursors. In my numerical models, the time evolution of the shock structure, self-radiation, and associated metal-ion column densities are computed by a series of quasi-static models, each appropriate for a different shock age. The shock code used in this work calculates the non-equilibrium ionization and cooling, follows the radiative transfer of the shock self-radiation through the post-shock cooling layers, takes into account the resulting photoionization and heating rates, follows the dynamics of the cooling gas, and self-consistently computes the photoionization states in the precursor gas. I present a complete set of the age-dependent post-shock and precursor columns for all ionization states of the elements H, He, C, N, O, Ne, Mg, Si, S, and Fe as functions of the shock velocity, gas metallicity, and magnetic field. I present my numerical results in convenient online tables.

Rapid Design of Meta Models

- Designing concise meta models manually is a complex task. Hence, newly proposed approaches were developed, which follow the idea of inferring meta models from given model examples. Unlike most approaches in the state of the art, we accept arbitrary model examples independent of a concrete syntax. The contained entity instances may have assigned values to imaginary attributes (i.e., attributes that are not declared yet). Based on these entity instances and the possessed assignments, a meta model is derived in a direct way. However, this meta model is quite bloated with redundant information. To increase its quality, we provide recommendations for applying so-called language patterns like inheritance or enumerations. For this reason, the applicability of those patterns is analyzed concerning the available information gathered from the underlying model examples. In addition to our previously published work, we also support the derivation of meta model changes based on modifications and extensions of the initial example models. Furthermore, change recommendations are provided wherever possible. This new approach for iteratively building, modifying and refining meta models enables users to focus on the real world instances. Consequently, they are not distracted by keeping the meta level in mind and thus are able to design meta models rapidly.
HIV and African American Women in the U.S. South

The year 2011 marks the 30th anniversary of the discovery of the HIVIAJDS virus (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 11981; Gottlieb, 1981; Gottlieb, Schanker, Fan, Saxon, & Weisman, 1981). Although the United States has invested substantial efforts in reducing and elimi­ nating HIV infections and AIDS-related morbidity and mortality, these efforts have had less than optimal success among subpopulations of some racial/ethnic minorities (Dean & Fenton, 2010; Mays, Cochran, & Zamudio, 2004; Sutton et al., 2009). Indeed, CDC surveillance data paint an alarming picture of increasing disparities in HIVIAIDS cases both in terms of such individual char­ acteristics as race and ethnicity and by geographic region. Sadly, for some subpopulations, sueh as African American women, the incidence and prevalence of HIV infections is worse now than in the early years of the HIV epidemic (Mays & Cochran, 1987, 1988, 1993). In recent data examining new infections from just 2005 to 2008, African American women accounted for 64% of new infections. This trend of increasing proportions of new eases of HIV occurring in African American women cries out for changes in the way the state, county, and federal agencies approach HIV prevention and intervention (CDC, 2010). Throughout the history of the HIV epidemic in the United States, different subpopulations of Black women have experienced a level of vulnerability unmatched by women of other ethnic and racial groups. In the early years of the epidemic, the enormous impact of the disease among men who have sex with men (MSMs) and the rapidly emerging epidemic among injection drug users were readily apparent. This drew research dollars as the public health system mounted a multi­ pronged attack on the new population health threat. Black women, initially small in number in the HIV statistics, were sometimes an afterthought as scientific attention concentrated elsewhere. Some Black women were infected by sexual partners who were injection drug users or MSMs, behaviors in their partners that the women may or may not have been aware of fully. Some Black women were at risk from their own unsafe injection practices, often without full knowledge of or control over methods to effectively reduce their risks. And some were part of the sex work industry, fueled by the pernicious crack epidemic raging coincidentally in poor urban communities (Cochran & Mays,
