FRAGMENTATION IN THE FIRST GALAXIES

We study the gravitational fragmentation of cold accretion streams flowing into a typical first galaxy. We use a one-zone hydrodynamical model to examine the thermal evolution of the gas entering a 10^8 M_sun DM halo at z=10. The goal is to find the expected fragmentation mass scale and thus a characteristic mass of the first population of stars to form by shock fragmentation at high redshift. Our model accurately describes the chemical and thermal evolution of the gas as we are specifically concerned with how the cooling of the gas alters its fragmentation properties. We find there to be a sharp drop in the fragmentation mass at a metallicity of ~10^-4 Z_sun when a strong molecule destroying, LW background is present. However, If molecules can efficiently form, they dominate the cooling at T < 10^4 K, demonstrating no 'critical metallicity'. Dust grains are not included in our chemical model, but we argue their inclusion would not significantly the results. We also find that this physical scenario allows for the formation of a cluster of solar mass fragments, or a single 10^4 M_sun fragment, possibly the precursors to primeval clusters and SMBHs. Lastly, we conclude that the usual assumption of isobaricity for galactic shocks breaks down in gas of sufficiently high metallicity, suggesting that metal cooling may lead to thermal instabilities.
Comics and/as documentary : the implications of graphic truth-telling

Examining examples from a cluster of early twenty-first century comics this thesis argues that these are comics adopting a documentary mode of address. The recognition that they share a documentary ambition to visually narrate and represent aspects and events of the real world, in turn calls for a closer examination of the contribution such comics present in terms of documentary’s repertoire.
This thesis challenges the persistent assumption that ties documentary to recording technologies, and instead engages an understanding of the category in terms of narrative, performativity and witnessing. In so doing, it aligns with debates and questions raised by recent academic work around animated documentary. Shared concerns include conventions, truth-claims and trust, and the limitations of representation as verisimilitude. Mindful not to overstate correspondence with animated and inherently moving image forms, however, this contribution explicitly concerns documentary in comics form: as constituted by static and silent pages.
The enquiry is structured according to concerns and themes that have been identified as central to documentary theory: the relation between documentary image and its referent; the production of archives and popular history; the social function of documentary as visibility and ‘voice’, and the travelogue as cultural narrative and production of knowledge. In other words, examples of comics that address actual, as opposed to imagined, persons and events of the historical world, are read through the lens of documentary. Close reading and visual analysis, engaging comics-specific frameworks, asks how comics by means of their formal qualities might offer alternative strategies and even the possibility to overcome certain problems associated with audiovisual modes of documentary representation. The thesis simultaneously extends an alternative perspective to literary frameworks, in particular the categories of memoir and autobiography, which have come to dominate in a steadily growing field of comics studies.
Design Drawing as an Artwork in Its Own Right

Les processus de conception dans le champ du design nécessitent toujours l'utilisation du dessin comme outil de représentation en vue de la production de n'importe quel objet. Ainsi, le dessin de conception peut aussi être vu comme une sorte de traduction dans un langage sans mots du travail du designer, ayant, en principe, un décodage universel. Cependant, loin d'une interpretation unique et innée, le dessin de conception du design est également soumis aux différents niveaux de clarté du designer/expéditeur et de connaissance/compréhension du récepteur/lecteur, variant selon l'époque et la société où ce décodage se produit. Comme les textes, l'interprétation du dessin de design doit être vue à la lumière d'une « grammaire des images », qui tiendra compte des particularités de son époque. Indispensable dans tous les domaines du design, le dessin, sous ses différentes modalités, verrait ses fonctions apparemment épuisées à la fin du processus de production. Il existe cependant des dessins de conception qui s'écartent des questions purement opérationnelles de la production industrielle. Dans ces cas, le dessin est conçu comme une œuvre ayant sa valeur en soi, comme l'œuvre d'art. Ce n'est pas d'aujourd'hui que les dessins et maquettes d'architecture et de design présentent ce caractère de ne pas être uniquement liés au processus de production, mais aussi à des enjeux de l'ordre du commerce des biens culturels et muséaux. Ils se retrouvent ainsi exposés dans des musées et vendus dans des galeries d'art et des maisons de vente aux enchères, notamment dans les pays ayant une longue tradition dans ce type de marché culturel, comme aux États-Unis, en Europe et dans certains pays asiatiques. Cet article examinera les caractéristiques de ces dessins de conception et les particularités de leur parcours social, considérant qu'ils peuvent faire l'objet d'une traduction non textuelle spécifique, non seulement en tant que document technique, mais aussi en tant qu'œuvre indépendante et unique, en portant une attention particulière aux différents contextes qui font de ce type de dessins, en fin de compte, une œuvre ayant sa valeur en soi.
Retirement pensions in Lithuania: 25 years and still in transit?

Adequate social security system is one of key elements of any modern society. Retirement pensions are usually attributed to the area of social security and � as such � pension system has multiple objectives, for example, to smooth income during lifetime of individual, to address poverty issues and similar. Due to ageing population and other circumstances many countries face difficulties when providing retirement pensions solely as part of social security system. Lithuania is not an exception, so � as in many other European countries � pension reform was implemented during the period of 2003 � 2004. Design of retirement pensions before and after reform is presented in this paper. Impact of reform for estimated amount of pensions and public finances as well as main areas of uncertainty are discussed.

A Study on the Signal Correction for Multiple Defects in MFL Type Nondestructive Testing System

Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Pusan National University, Busan 46241, Korea(Received 15 January 2016, Received in final form 22 February 2016, Accepted 23 February 2016)MFL (Magnetic flux leakage) type nondestructive testing has been used for inspection of underground gas pipelines to find metaldefects by detecting magnetic leakage signal. Because the underground gas pipeline is exposed by environment such as high pressurewith great humidity, external defects are easily formed on the surface of pipelines and they are being grouped respectively. Theseadjacent defects cause the signal distortion of leakage flux so that it is hard to estimate the shape information of defects. In this paper,we performed to study of the signal distortion and compensating method for multiple defects in MFL type nondestructive testingsystem by using 3D FEM simulation. This paper proposes the basic algorithm of defect signal analysis on multiple defects on thesurface of 30 inch diameter pipeline.Keywords: magnetic flux leakage testing, nondestructive testing, pipeline, multiple defects, finite elements method
Clinical validation of retinal oximetry as a biomarker

Disturbance in oxygenation of the retina of the eye is believed to be involved in many sight-threatening diseases, such as diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration. Oxymap ehf (SME) has developed an oximeter to measure retinal oxygenation. The oximeter is already used by over 20 research groups and the results of small-scale studies indicate that the oximeter can measure disturbed oxygenation in various common and serious eye diseases.

The Oxymap oximeter is currently only useable for research and the aim of the phase 1 and 2 projects is to validate oximetry for clinical use. This will allow earlier intervention and better monitoring of disease progress, benefiting individual patients. Due to the high prevalence and severity of the diseases, societal and economic gains are also considerable. Moving retinal oximetry from being a research tool only to being a validated clinical biomarker will also create a much larger market for Oxymap.

The phase 1 project will yield a feasibility report, including a business plan. The project will lay the foundation for later uptake of retinal oximetry in clinical practise and the concurrent successful commercialisation.
Inclusive health and wellbeing in small and medium size cities

Four peripheral small and medium size cities (SMSCs) - Cordoba (Spain), Riga (Latvia), Lucca (Italy) and Nitra (Slovakia) – will take the leadership to test visionary and integrated solutions to foster Inclusive Health and Wellbeing (IHW) in SMSCs with a focus on gender and diversity. IN-HABIT visionary approach consists on the innovative mobilization of existing undervalued resources (culture, food, human-animal bonds and environment) to increase IHW. The integrated approach is based on the combination of technological, digital, nature based, cultural, and social innovations in selected urban public spaces. These solutions will be co-designed, co-deployed and co-managed with and by local stakeholders. The effects on mental health, wellbeing and healthier lifestyles of these solutions will be evaluated and a sound scalable evidence-base and monitoring framework delivered. A systemic urban planning framework will be developed based on innovative gender and diversity approaches to boost IHW that will represent a unique reference for SMSCs. IN-HABIT will base its actions on underserved areas and vulnerable target groups existing in each city (such as, children, elders, women, persons with disabilities, ethnic minorities), and on the integration of ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ visionary solutions articulated around heritage and culture (as a nexus for inclusive societies), food (nurturing daily healthier lifestyles), animals (human-animal bonds as new relational urban goods) and art and environment (to connect places and people). Bogotá city will share know-how and replicate experiences. These actions have attracted the interest to be replicated by other twin-cities and networks of cities, that have shown their interest in establishing synergies with IN-HABIT and replicating actions. IN-HABIT is an ambitious but achievable project in the 5 years lifetime proposed.
METHOD FOR PRODUCING DOUBLE-SIDED ADHESIVE STRIPS WITH ADHESIVE SECTIONS WHICH ARE ARRANGED IN AN OFFSET MANNER IN THE LONGITUDINAL DIRECTION

The invention relates to a method for producing double-sided adhesive strips with adhesive sections (32, 33, 34) which are arranged in an offset manner in the longitudinal direction, wherein a first single-sided adhesive strip (3) with a first adhesive layer (3a) and a second single-sided adhesive strip (4) with a second adhesive layer (4a) are laminated together such that the adhesive layers (3a, 4a) are offset relative to each other in the longitudinal direction in such a manner that a first laminated adhesive strip section (32) of the laminated adhesive strip is produced so as to be adhesive on one side and not adhesive on the opposite side, and a second laminated adhesive strip section (33) is produced so as to not be adhesive on one side and be adhesive on the opposite side.

New advanced control strategy for steel making process

The steel industry has been developing for years. The characteristics of the products intended for the various industrial sectors are becoming more and more demanded. Currently advanced PID controllers are used with a local multi-loop structure. In order to deal with the increasingly constrained specifications, it is interesting to review this control strategy. This CIFRE PhD thesis between ArcelorMittal and CRAN aims to propose new advanced control strategies for the cold rolling of thin sheet steel strips, including centralized control strategies replacing local and independent control loops, to broaden the scope of treatable materials, increase and optimize process productivity and capabilities, and minimize production costs. In a first part, a bibliographic study will be carried out in order to better define the various metallurgical and dynamic models of the system to be controlled. In a second part, the specifications will be translated in terms of an optimization problem whose solution is the state feedback controller. Finally, in a third and final part, a dynamic output feedback synthesis will be proposed to solve the problem of missing measurements
Computational Bayesian Statistics in Transportation Modeling: From Road Safety Analysis to Discrete Choice

In this paper, we review both the fundamentals and the expansion of computational Bayesian econometrics and statistics applied to transportation modeling problems in road safety analysis and travel behavior. Whereas for analyzing accident risk in transportation networks there has been a significant increase in the application of hierarchical Bayes methods, in transportation choice modeling, the use of Bayes estimators is rather scarce. We thus provide a general discussion of the benefits of using Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo methods to simulate answers to the problems of point and interval estimation and forecasting, including the use of the simulated posterior for building predictive distributions and constructing credible intervals for measures such as the value of time. Although there is the general idea that going Bayesian is just another way of finding an equivalent to frequentist results, in practice Bayes estimators have the potential of outperforming frequentist estimators and, at the same ti...
Electronic circuit, electro-optical device, method for driving electro-optical device and electronic apparatus

The present invention provides an electronic circuit that can achieve adequate display quality by a small amount of electrical power, an electro-optical device, a method for driving the electro-optical device, and an electronic apparatus. A drive current corresponding to a digital-data voltage or an analog-data voltage transmitted via a data line can be transmitted to an organic EL element of a pixel circuit provided corresponding to the intersection of a scan line and the data line. The digital-data voltage can be transmitted to the pixel circuit so as to control gray scale by digital-gray-scale modulation for decreasing power consumption. Further, the analog-data voltage can be transmitted to the pixel circuit so as to control the gray scale by analog-gray-scale modulation for increasing the display quality.
Volatility clustering and herding agents: does it matter what they observe?

Recent agent-based models have demonstrated that agents’ herding behavior causes volatility clustering in stock markets. We examine economies where agents herd on others, yet they have limited sets of information on other agents to imitate. In particular, we conduct experiments on economies with agents with different levels of information sharing where agents can imitate: (1) the strategies of others but with an error, (2) the strategies of only a fraction of agents, or (3) the strategies of others, but update their parameters only by a proportion. In each experiment we change the likelihood that agents make errors to copy the strategy of others, the fraction of agents to herd, or the proportion of the parameter that agents update, in order to examine the effect of the different degrees of information sharing on volatility clustering. We show that volatility clustering tends to disappear when agents have limited information on the strategies of others, and agents need to imitate the strategy details of others in order to generate the clustered volatility.
Origin of seismic reflections in a carbonate gas field, Lower Miocene, offshore Myanmar

Abstract The geological origin of seismic reflections, within a carbonate gas reservoir, has been determined on the basis of an integrative analysis of cores, well-logs, pre-production and 4D time-lapse-seismic data. The gas reservoir is subdivided into meter to decameter-thick diagenetic units which are characterized by distinct acoustic properties. Low impedance units are dominant and consist of highly microporous and vuggy foraminiferal/coralline algal floatstones intervals whose porosity has been significantly enhanced in burial diagenetic environments. High to moderate acoustic impedance units (thickness: 1–20 m) are related to various depositional and diagenetic fabrics: 1) early-lithified coral floatstones, 2) foraminiferal rudstone whose intergranular space is occluded by shallow burial sparry calcite and 3) carbonate breccia with neomorphosed corals occurring below an intra-formational subaerial exposure surface. Within the gas zone, seismic reflection horizons may form at the boundary between two diagenetic units with contrasted acoustic impedance or may result from the interference between reflection at base and top of such intervals. A stratigraphy-cross-cutting reflection horizon has been shown to form at a major and laterally continuous shift in porosity which is related to a differential diagenetic evolution between the gas and the water zone, during or after hydrocarbon emplacement. Finally, the analysis of the geological origin of seismic reflections has been proved to help predicting and mapping the major heterogeneities with significant impact on flow during production.
Polycomb Group Targeting through Different Binding Partners of RING1B C-Terminal Domain

RING1B, a Polycomb Group (PcG) protein, binds methylated chromatin through its association with another PcG protein called Polycomb (Pc). However, RING1B can associate with nonmethylated chromatin suggesting an alternate mechanism for RING1B interaction with chromatin. Here, we demonstrate that two proteins with little sequence identity between them, the Pc cbox domain and RYBP, bind the same surface on the C-terminal domain of RING1B (C-RING1B). Pc cbox and RYBP each fold into a nearly identical, intermolecular beta sheet with C-RING1B and a loop structure which are completely different in the two proteins. Both the beta sheet and loop are required for stable binding and transcription repression. Further, a mutation engineered to disrupt binding on the Drosophila dRING1 protein prevents chromatin association and PcG function in vivo. These results suggest that PcG targeting to different chromatin locations relies, in part, on binding partners of C-RING1B that are diverse in sequence and structure.
Mitigation of hydro-geological risk in Alpine catchments

The first objective of this project is to create a shared approach for the definition of hydro-geological risk scenarios in Alpine catchments and on alluvial fans. To achieve this all aspects of hydro-geological hazards affecting a catchment will be analysed, in particular: flooding and mass transport phenomena; droughts and aquifer depletion; and landslides, such as rockfalls, soil slips, and debris flows. This will lead to the evaluation of hazard and risk both in the catchment and on the alluvial fans. The final objective is to provide guidelines addressed to professionals and administrators to support decisions for improving water management, land use and protection measures planning, and risk management. Dissemination of results will include workshops addressed to professionals, administrators and the public, to inform and increase awareness on hydro-geological risks.
Justified state partiality and the vulnerable subject in migration

According to David Miller, there exists a special relationship between migrants at the border and members of a political community that the migrant hopes to join. It is the task of a political philosophy of migration to define a state’s obligations toward individuals who are vulnerable to the state’s actions without being members of the political community. I define the vulnerability in question as lacking capacity to be autonomous for lack of options to realize one’s plan of life. I then discuss Miller’s claim that what matters is sufficiency of generic options rather than access to all options. Miller wants to say that sufficiency can be achieved by assuring the protection of human rights. This claim neglects the source of the individual migrant’s vulnerability. I therefore argue that Miller neglects the specific relationship he has identified between potential host state and hopeful migrant, and advocate instead that the potential host state has to consider the vulnerability that is due to its own poli...
Association between changes in physical activity levels and depressive symptoms in high school students during the COVID-19 pandemic

Objective: The study examined the association between depressive symptoms (DS) and perceptions of changes in the physical activity (PA) levels in high school students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: 186 students of a federal education institution from southern Brazil participated in the study. Perception of changes in the PA levels during the pandemic and the DS were collected through questionnaires in an electronic form. DS was scored and classified in low or increased depressive symptoms. Results: 60.8% of students showed increased depressive symptoms, being more frequent (75.6%) among girls (p&lt;0.05). Regarding the PA levels during the COVID-19 pandemic, 70.4% of students reported a reduction in general PA, 54.3% to light PA, 67.2% to moderate PA, and 72.0% to vigorous PA, being the decrease in light and moderate PA more frequent among girls (p&lt;0.05). Students who reported unfavorable changes in PA during the COVID-19 pandemic are about three times more likely to present increased depressive symptoms (p&lt;0.05). Conclusion: Therefore, this result indicates that PA reduction levels during the pandemic are associated with higher DS among high school students at a federal educational institution in southern Brazil.
