description: GRB031203 was observed by XMM-Newton twice, first with an observation beginning 6 hours after the burst, and again after 3 days. The afterglow had average 0.2-10.0keV fluxes for the first and second observations of 4.2+/-0.1x10^-13 and 1.8+/-0.1x10^-13 erg/cm^2/s respectively, decaying very slowly according to a power-law with an index of -0.55+/-0.05. The prompt soft X-ray flux, inferred from a detection of the dust echo of the prompt emission, strongly implies that this burst is very soft and should be classified as an X-ray flash (XRF) and further, implies a steep temporal slope (

description: We present the results of U-band and multi-color photometry during the 2001 superoutburst of WZ Sagittae. Our 10 nights of U-band photometry span the time interval from HJD 2452118 to 2452197 while our multi-color observations range from HJD 2452115 to 2452197. The U-band light curves are generally in agreement with other datasets obtained during the superoutburst showing highly modulated light early on, rebrightenings, and superhumps of similar shape and period (except during the rebrightening peak). One of our multi-color datasets fortuitously covers the first rebrightening and allows determination of the accretion disk color temperature before, during, and after the event. It is seen that the rebrightening is a change from a neutral disk (T~7000K) to an ionized disk (T$\sim$10000K) and back again. We develop a simple limit cycle model for this behavior which approximately predicts the semi-periodic timescale observed for the rebrightenings. We discuss our results in relation to accretion disk structure during superoutburst.

Low-Mass Proto-Planet Migration in T-Tauri Alpha-Disks
Creators: name: Menou, Kristen

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present detailed estimates of ''type-I'' migration rates for low-mass proto-planets embedded in steady-state T-Tauri alpha-disks, based on Lindblad torque calculations ignoring feedback on the disk. Differences in migration rates for several plausible background disk models are explored and we contrast results obtained using the standard two dimensional formalism of spiral density wave theory with those obtained from a simple treatment of three-dimensional effects. Opacity transitions in the disk result in sudden radial variations of the migration rates. Regions with minimal migration rates may be preferred sites of gravitational interactions between proto-planets. Three-dimensional torques are significantly weaker than two-dimensional ones and they are sensitive to the surface density profile of the background disk. We find that migration times in excess of runaway envelope accretion times or T-Tauri disk lifetimes are possible for Earth-mass proto-planets in some background disk models, even at sub-AU distances. We conclude that an understanding of the background disk structure and ''viscosity'', as well as a proper treatment of three-dimensional effects in torque calculations, are necessary to obtain reliable estimates of ``type-I'' migration rates.

description: This study analyzes the cybernetic Borg in Star Trek through a postcolonial lens for themes of imperialism and weaponized white femininity. This study examines representations of the Borg in Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: First Contact, Star Trek: Voyager, and Star Trek: Picard. Analysis delves into the Borg as an imperial projection that is tempered over the course of the franchise, resulting in a redemption arc that is accomplished through the frame of white womanhood. This study finds that the Borg Queens, Seven of Nine, and Agnes Jurati utilize white femininity, sexuality, and fragility to recharacterize themselves as innocent and the Borg as saviors. This paper uses Multimodal Critical Discourse Analysis and fictional framing theory to examine the textual, audio, and visual elements of Star Trek series and film. Ultimately, Star Trek’s Borg exemplify the cycle of Western science fiction genre and entertainment industry perpetuating the white supremacy that dominates them.
On the structure of globular cluster systems in elliptical galaxies

description: It has long been known that the radial density profiles of globular cluster systems (GCSs) in elliptical galaxies vary with the total luminosities of their host galaxies. In order to elucidate the origin of this structural non-homology in GCSs, we numerically investigate the structural properties of GCSs in elliptical galaxies formed from a sequence of major dissipationless galaxy merging. We find that the radial density profiles of GCSs in elliptical galaxies become progressively flatter as the galaxies experience more major merger events. The density profiles of GCSs in ellipticals are well described as power-laws with slopes ($α_{\rm gc}$) ranging from -2.0 to -1.0. They are flatter than, and linearly proportional to, the slopes ($α_{\rm s}$) of the stellar density profiles of their host galaxies. We also find that the GCS core radii ($r_{\rm c}$) of the density profiles are larger in ellipticals that experienced more mergers. By applying a reasonable scaling relation between luminosities and sizes of galaxies to the simulation results, we show that $α_{\rm gc} \approx -0.36 M_{\rm V}-9.2$, $r_{\rm c} \approx -1.85 M_{\rm V}$, and $α_{\rm gc} \approx 0.93 α_{\rm s}$, where $M_{\rm V}$ is the total $V$-band absolute magnitude of a galaxy.

description: A study is undertaken to investigate an analytical solution for the N-dimensional Schrödinger equation with the Morse potential based on the Laplace transformation method. The results show that in the Pekeris approximation, the radial part of the Schrödinger equation reduces to the corresponding equation in one dimension. Hence its exact solutions can be obtained by the Laplace transformation method of G. Chen, phys. Lett. A 326 (2004) 55. In addition, a comparison is made between the energy spectrum resulted from this method and the spectra that are obtained from the two-point quasi-rational approximation method and the Nikiforov-Uvarov approach.

description: We study the dynamics of quantum correlations in a class of exactly solvable Ising-type models. We analyze in particular the time evolution of initial Bell states created in a fully polarized background and on the ground state. We find that the pairwise entanglement propagates with a velocity proportional to the reduced interaction for all the four Bell states. Singlet-like states are favored during the propagation, in the sense that triplet-like states change their character during the propagation under certain circumstances. Characteristic for the anisotropic models is the instantaneous creation of pairwise entanglement from a fully polarized state; furthermore, the propagation of pairwise entanglement is suppressed in favor of a creation of different types of entanglement. The ``entanglement wave'' evolving from a Bell state on the ground state turns out to be very localized in space-time. Further support to a recently formulated conjecture on entanglement sharing is given.

description: Surprisingly limited research exists on the relationship between sleep and interpersonal functioning. There are a few preliminary studies that demonstrate that women might experience an increase in interpersonal orientation under conditions of sleep loss. However, there are no studies that experimentally restrict sleep in women in order to test the effects of sleep loss on interpersonal orientation and functioning. Using a quasi-experimental study design, we hypothesized that women who were sleep restricted would exhibit more socially-oriented and prosocial behaviors than women who were not sleep restricted. Fifty-two women were asked to track their sleep for three nights using an ActiGraph sleep watch and self-report morning sleep diaries. All women were randomly assigned to a sleep restriction condition (less than five hours) or a control condition (eight hours) for their third night of sleep, and then asked to complete a set of social computer tasks and self-report questionnaires the next day. Total sleep time and sleep quality from night three were also assessed. Results show that women in the sleep restriction condition were more likely to choose to perform a set of activities with an acquaintance than women in the control condition. No other results were significant. The findings suggest that sleep might not have a strong impact on social functioning in women. Future studies should assess the relationship between sleep and social functioning in a larger sample and include men in the sample to better understand the role of sex and gender in this relationship.

The development and characterization of noval mixed matrix membrane of polymer and metal organic framework composites for use in gas separation and purification
Creators: name: Alessa, Rahmah A.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Metal organic frameworks are three dimensional porous rigid materials consisting of secondary building units (SBUs), which are inorganic metals linked to organic ligands. While MOFs are fundamentally crystalline and porous solids, polymers can be flexible, malleable, and processable. These absolute differences in the nature of MOFs and polymers have actuated scientists to combine crystalline MOFs and flexible polymers to create hybrids with the necessary characteristics of these various materials in order to be used in many applications such as gas and liquid separation and purification. Research groups have investigated a variety of techniques for MOF-polymer hybrid materials, including the synthesis of mixed matrix membranes (MMMs), polymers grafted from MOF particles, polymers grafted via MOFs, polymers driving MOF growth, and the synthesis of MOFs utilizing polymer ligands. For the integration of MOF-polymer hybrid materials, these methods have used a wide range of polymers to generate form factors with specific polymer properties for a variety of applications, including separations, sensing, catalysis, and storage. The development of MOF-polymer hybrid materials with the features of MOFs in a flexible form factor will open the way for these materials to be used in the industrial world. We are attempting a new MMM synthesis in which an initial polymer-ZnO composite material is formed. Subsequent synthetic steps are then performed to convert the ZnO within the composite to HKUST-1 using literature techniques. Our synthetic method aims to remove some of the issues that result from other MMM syntheses. In this project, we were trying to synthesize a polyethyleneimine (PEI)-based composite with ZnO as a platform for generating an HKUST-1 containing mixed matrix membrane. For each sample generated we include a base polymer (PEI), ZnO, a cross linking or curing agent (glycerol diglycidyl ether, polyethylene glycol diglycidyl ether) and, in some instances, an agent to control curing rates (4-(2-aminoethyl) aniline, jeffamine (polyetheramines) and sodium hydroxide. The composite films are soaked in an aqueous solution of Cu(NO3)2 followed by soaking in an ethanol solution of 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid (H3BTC) and dimethyl formamide. Previous studies indicate that the PEI polymer in combination with HKUST-1 should be effective in separations of gas mixtures that contain CO2. Therefore, combining both Metal Oxide-MOFs and PEI polymer will conduct highly efficient CO2 gas separations. This product undergoes SEM, EDS, FTIR, and XRD analysis.

description: Excerpts from the report Introduction: As part of an overall plan to assist the producers of wool and lamb in promoting the use of their products, the Department of Agriculture conducted a one-city consumer survey in Cleveland, Ohio, in order to evaluate consumers’ preferences for and attitudes toward fresh lamb. To date, little information of a qualitative nature has been available as to the factors which affect and influence the home consumption of lamb. Quantitatively, per capita consumption of meat in the United States, wholesale dressed weight, was about 153 pounds in 1954; lamb comprised but 4 ½ pounds of this total. The purpose of this report is to describe the patterns of use and consumers' opinions of lamb in Cleveland, Ohio. It is believed that the information obtained from this study will have broad applicability. It should indicate where additional attention is likely to be most effective in improving the sale of lamb and thus enable the industry, including producers, processors, and distributors, to orient their advertising and sales promotion activities more efficiently.

description: We present a study of the intrinsic X-ray and far-ultraviolet absorption in the Seyfert 1.5 galaxy Markarian 279 using simultaneous observations from the Chandra X-ray Observatory, the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph aboard the Hubble Space Telescope, and the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE). We also present FUSE observations made at three additional epochs. We detect the Fe K-alpha emission line in the Chandra spectrum, and its flux is consistent with the low X-ray continuum flux level of Mrk 279 at the time of the observation. Due to low signal-to-noise ratios in the Chandra spectrum, no O VII or O VIII absorption features are observable in the Chandra data, but the UV spectra reveal strong and complex absorption from HI and high-ionization species such as O VI, N V, and C IV, as well as from low-ionization species such as C III, N III, C II, and N II in some velocity components. The far-UV spectral coverage of the FUSE data provides information on high-order Lyman series absorption, which we use to calculate the optical depths and line and continuum covering fractions in the intrinsic HI absorbing gas in a self-consistent fashion. The UV continuum flux of Mrk 279 decreases by a factor of ~7.5 over the time spanning these observations and we discuss the implications of the response of the absorption features to this change. From arguments based on the velocities, profile shapes, covering fractions and variability of the UV absorption, we conclude that some of the absorption components, particularly those showing prominent low-ionization lines, are likely associated with the host galaxy of Mrk 279, and possibly with its interaction with a close companion galaxy, while the remainder arises in a nuclear outflow.

description: The process of costuming a role for the stage puts performers and technicians invulnerable positions, yet current practices have fallen short in creating reliably safe and inclusive environments where both performers and technicians can do their work without experiencing harassment or discrimination. Through a literature review, survey research, and professional observation, this thesis offers an overview of current research in relevant fields, exploration of current practices and needs within costuming, and a framework to evaluate and improve the safety and inclusion of costuming spaces. To establish the most widely applicable framework, the research will not focus on the needs of any single identity group. The intent is to provide costume supervisors the tools to view their workspaces through a new lens and to empower them to create more universally accessible and inclusive spaces for any and all people.

The physical degrees of freedom of any asymptotically free gauge theory are hadronic states.

In this study, audio recordings were made to see how differential human hiking trail usage is associated with passerine vocalizations using the bird population at the Patapsco Valley State Park, near Baltimore, MD. Results indicate that while there is no statistically significant difference in the maximum frequency of bird vocalizations, there is evidence of a difference in ambient background noise frequency between higher used trails compared to lesser used trails. These results show that differences in ambient noise on hiking trails may, or may not, be impacting songbird vocalization frequency.

description: The defect states in atomically thin layers of transition metal dichalcogenides are promising candidates for single photon emission. However, the brightness of such quantum emission is often weak, and is accompanied with undesirable effects like spectral diffusion and strong background emission. By placing a monolayer WSe$_2$ directly on a rough gold substrate, here we show a selective enhancement of sharp defect-bound exciton peaks, coupled with a suppressed spectral diffusion and strong quenching of background luminescence. By combining the experimental data with detailed electromagnetic simulations, we reveal that such selective luminescence enhancement originates from a combination of the Purcell effect and a wavelength dependent increment of the excitation electric field at the tips of tall rough features, coupled with a localized strain induced exciton funneling effect. Notably, insertion of a thin hexagonal Boron Nitride (hBN) sandwich layer between WSe$_2$ and the Au film results in a strong enhancement of the background luminescence, obscuring the sharp defect peaks. The findings demonstrate a simple strategy of using monolayer WSe$_2$ supported by thin metal film that offers a possibility of achieving quantum light sources with high purity, high brightness, and suppressed spectral diffusion.

description: A collection of five short fiction stories, Parental Guidance explores that moment when we begin to crossover from childhood but have not yet entered young adulthood, otherwise known as the “tween” years. I understand this stage of life as being filled with several uncertainties about oneself and the world. In this collection, I focused on child-parent relationships and how those relationships begin to shift as one gets closer to their teen years. Teenage years are often defined by how one separates from their parents, so I wanted to capture the point just before that separation happens. These stories all feature a child who is just starting to recognize the complexities of their relationship with their parents. Several of these stories are inspired by events in my life and my experiences growing up. I also took inspiration from the middle-grade novel and children’s television shows I enjoyed during my tween years.

description: The article discusses practices for reaching rebirth in the Pure Land recounted in Zoku Honchō Ōjōden (“Continuation of the Biographies of Japanese Reborn Into the Pure Land”), composed in 11011111 by Ōe-no Masafusa. These practices include those mentioned in the stories as being performed during one’s lifetime, intended to show one’s strong devotion to Pure Land, as well as death-bed practices: the description of the death hour is the crucial point of every biography. Some of these practices belong to the Pure Land tradition (the most important to be mentioned is nenbutsu, “recollection of Buddha [Amida]”), while others are more likely to be attributed to other traditions (the most important one being reading and reciting the Lotus Sutra): the author obviously does not feel any need to draw a line between them. Normally, these practices are only mentioned in the text and not discussed in detail. This aspect of Zoku Honchō Ōjōden is analyzed in comparison with other important Pure Land texts: Nihon Ōjō Gokuraku-ki (“Japanese Records of Rebirth in the Land of Supreme Joy”) by Yoshishige-no Yasutane and Ōjōyōshū (“The Essentials of Rebirth in the Pure Land”) by Genshin. As compared to Nihon Ōjō Gokuraku-ki, in Zoku Honchō Ōjōden, much stronger emphasis is placed on the death-bed practices than on the lifetime actions and evidence of rebirth. Often, the text focuses on the state of mind of the dying person, his or her determination in performing death-bed practices. In his work, Ōe-no Masafusa leans on the idea expressed in Ōjōyōshū that these are the last moments of life that are decisive and determine one’s rebirth, illustrating it with examples.

description: The relevance of language variation refers to the relevance and importance of the diversity that exists in languages. Language diversity includes differences in pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, and even cultural nuances across regions, social groups, and historical contexts.  Language is closely related to cultural identity. Studying these changes helps us understand the complex identities of different communities. Understanding language variation is essential to effective communication. Acknowledging and accommodating language differences can enhance communication and prevent misunderstandings, especially in multicultural and multilingual environments. Language shift is often associated with social factors such as socioeconomic status, education level, ethnicity, and age. The study of language change illuminates social dynamics, power structures, and inequalities in societies.

description: Using two distinct inversion techniques, the local one-dimensional potentials for the Riemann zeros and prime number sequence are reconstructed. We establish that both inversion techniques, when applied to the same set of levels, lead to the same fractal potential. This provides numerical evidence that the potential obtained by inversion of a set of energy levels is unique in one-dimension. We also investigate the fractal properties of the reconstructed potentials and estimate the fractal dimensions to be $D=1.5$ for the Riemann zeros and $D = 1.8$ for the prime numbers. This result is somewhat surprising since the nearest-neighbour spacings of the Riemann zeros are known to be chaotically distributed whereas the primes obey almost poisson-like statistics. Our findings show that the fractal dimension is dependent on both the level-statistics and spectral rigidity, $Δ_3$, of the energy levels.
