Rand- und subglaziale Rinnen in den Vorbergen des Süd-Schwarzwaldes bei Bad Säckingen, Hochrhein
Creators: name: Becker, Arnfried

Publisher: name: Geozon Science Media
Year: 2004

description: Das Untersuchungsgebiet liegt auf einem Vorbergsporn des Süd-Schwarzwaldes, der über 2 km in das Hochrheintal hineinragt. Auf diesem Felsrücken, der vorwiegend aus Gneisen, Graniten und Rotliegend-Klastiten besteht und i.A. nur eine geringmächtige Quartärüberdeckung aufweist, ist ein Talsystem entwickelt, das als subglaziales bzw. randglaziales Rinnensystem interpretiert werden kann. Dafür spricht neben der Lage des Rinnensystems auf einem Hartgesteinsriegel nahe der Ablationsfront eines ehemaligen Gletschers vor allem die Geometrie der Täler mit ihren unausgeglichenen Längsprofilen, ihren trogförmigen Querprofilen mit sehr steilen Talflanken, die teilweise Klippen bilden, ihre lokal begrenzte Verbreitung sowie ein weitgehend fehlendes Einzugsgebiet. Das Entstehungsalter des Rinnensystems wird aufgrund der relativ frischen Geländeformen in das Doppelwall-Riß gestellt. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt lag das Untersuchungsgebiet im Einflussbereich des Rhein- und des Schwarzwaldgletschers. Weiterführende Arbeiten werden vorgeschlagen, u.a. Datierungen des Rinnensystems mit Hilfe von Expositionsaltersbestimmungen.

description: We give a converging semidefinite programming hierarchy of outer approximations for the set of quantum correlations of fixed dimension and derive analytical bounds on the convergence speed of the hierarchy. In particular, we give a semidefinite program of size $\exp(\mathcal{O}\big(T^{12}(\log^2(AT)+\log(Q)\log(AT))/ε^2\big))$ to compute additive $ε$-approximations on the values of two-player free games with $T\times T$-dimensional quantum assistance, where $A$ and $Q$ denote the numbers of answers and questions of the game, respectively. For fixed dimension $T$, this scales polynomially in $Q$ and quasi-polynomially in $A$, thereby improving on previously known approximation algorithms for which worst-case run-time guarantees are at best exponential in $Q$ and $A$. For the proof, we make a connection to the quantum separability problem and employ improved multipartite quantum de Finetti theorems with linear constraints. We also derive an informationally complete measurement which minimises the loss in distinguishability relative to the quantum side information - which may be of independent interest.

description: We report measurements for coherent rho^0 production, AuAu->AuAu rho^0, and coherent rho^0 and e^+e^- pair production accompanied by mutual nuclear Coulomb excitation, AuAu->Au*Au* rho^0 and AuAuee, in ultra-peripheral relativistic gold-gold collisions (UPC). We discuss transverse momentum, mass, and rapidity distributions. The two photon-process of e^+e^- pair production is an important probe of strong field QED because of the large coupling Z*alpha=0.6. At sqrt{s}=200GeV, the e^+e^- production cross section agrees with lowest order QED calculations. The cross sections for coherent rho^0 production at sqrt{s}=130 and 200GeV are in agreement with theoretical predictions. The calculations for both, coherent e^+e^- and rho^0 production treat nuclear excitation as independent process.

description: Stauchrücken in früheren Inlandeisgebieten können polygenetischen Ursprungs sein: Man kann sie sich sowohl durch Frontal- als auch durch Basalstauchung der sich ausbreitenden Inlandeisdecken entstanden vorstellen. Solange man im Einzelfall keine eindeutigen Merkmale für die Zuordnung zu dem einen oder dem anderen Stauchtyp hat, sollte man undifferenziert von Stauch-Rücken oder Stauch-Moränen, aber nicht von Stauch-Endmoränen sprechen. Die Bezeichnung „Endmoräne" sollte grundsätzlich nur zur Ansprache von solchen Rücken benutzt werden, deren Entstehung den glazigenen Vorgängen an einer Gletscherfront zweifelsfrei zugeordnet werden kann.

description: Rhinophis sanguineus Beddome, 1863
(Fig. 7H)
 Rhinophis sanguineus Beddome, 1863a: 47. Beddome (1863a) reports collecting several syntypes, but Boulenger (1893a) reports only one male with 197 ventrals and nine subcaudals. Gans (1966) also states that only one syntype (BMNH 1864.3.9.2 now: 1946.1.16.54), catalogued as “one of the types”, is now known. Wallach et al. (2014) also list BMNH 1874.4.29.110 (= 1946.1.16.76) as a syntype, but this specimen is putatively the holotype of Rhinophis microlepis Beddome, 1863 (see Gans 1966). We designate BMNH 1946.1.16.54 as the lectotype, to remove any ambiguity.Type locality: Cherambadi, northern Kerala state, India.
 Rhinophis microlepis Beddome, 1863a: 47. Holotype: BMNH 1874.4.29.110 (= 1946.1.16.76). Type locality: Minchin estate, Kerala state, India. Designated as a junior subjective synonym by Beddome (1886). See Beddome (1863a).
 DISTRIBUTION. — India, known from the Nilgiris northwards to the Agumbe hills, c. 750-1065 m (see Ferguson 1895; Wall 1919; Aengals & Ganesh 2013; Wallach et al. 2014; Ganesh 2015).
DESCRIPTION
 Maximum total length c. 460 mm, ventrals 182-218 though Mason (1888) reported 166-183 from putatively conspecific populations in the Wullingy forests near Palghat, subcaudals 5-11, dorsal scales in 15 rows at midbody (see Wall 1919; Smith 1943; Constable 1949). Distinctive color-pattern, with a bluish-black dorsal coloration, bright-red venter with black mottling, and red streaks on the tail.
REMARKS
The original description (Beddome 1863a) reports the collection of several syntypes, but apparently only a few were catalogued, and only one is now known (Gans 1966). Boulenger (1893a) reports a large topotypic series collected by Beddome but does not refer to them as types; either they were collected at a later date, or they weren’t catalogued as types initially. The lower ventral count reported by Mason (1888) is of uncertain validity, and may represent a new or cryptic species from the Wullingy forests near Palghat. Records of this species exist from South of Palghat Gap (Hutton 1949), but we did not examine the specimens to determine their validity.

description: An environmental survey was carried out in order to provide an adequate and updated assessment of the radiological impact that the decommissioning operations of the Garigliano NNP may have procured to the environment of the surrounding area. Some isotopes of uranium (235U, 236U, 238U) and plutonium (239Pu, 240Pu) and some γ-emitter radionuclides (60Co, 137Cs and 40K,) were measured to quantify the possible contamination and identify the origin source. Actinides isotopes were measured with the AMS technique that is able to detect elements in traces and reach sensitivity that cannot be obtained with other methods. The results show that the anthropogenic component is essentially due to the atmospheric fallout and no contamination can be charged to the NPP. Data are represented in geo-referenced maps to highlight the distribution area and some particular aspects of each measured radionuclide.

title: Pre-School Leadership and the Influence this has upon Outcomes for Young Children
Creators: name: Envy, Rosemary Alice
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2018

description: This research focuses on pre-school leadership and the influence this has upon improving outcomes for disadvantaged children, situating it within a broader framework of social inequality specifically in regard to the educational achievements of disadvantaged children and their more advantaged peers. As the study is comparative in nature the findings are discussed in relation to settings that have been graded by Ofsted as ‘outstanding’ and ‘requires Improvement’. The research takes into account that the social inequality associated with childhood poverty has a negative impact on outcomes for children, particularly in their earliest years. It is premised upon the known importance of good quality early years provision as an effective means to ameliorate the effects of childhood poverty on outcomes for young children and that effective leadership of early years settings is a defining factor of good quality provision. A mixed methods approach was adopted to explore the influence that pre-school leadership has upon outcomes for disadvantaged children. Qualitative data collated from four semi-structured interviews, along with each setting’s most recent Ofsted report were analysed through a process of content analysis. School performance data were analysed to provide the contextual background of the participating settings. Descriptive statistics are used to situate the local authority’s performance in the context of other local authorities regionally and nationally and enable direct comparisons to be made between settings. Key findings from this study indicate that, in settings deemed by Ofsted to be ‘outstanding’ less affluent children made good progress towards the early learning goals, this demonstrates effective leadership within those settings. Where a setting was deemed to ‘require improvement’ children did not make good progress, this indicates that leadership in that instance was less effective.

description: We ask which migration policy a developed country will choose when its objective is to attain the optimal skill composition of the country’s workforce, and when the policy menu consists of an entry fee and a quota. We compare these two policies under the assumptions that individuals are heterogeneous in their skill level as well as in their skill type, and that individuals of one skill type, say “scientists,” confer a positive externality on overall productivity whereas individuals of the other skill type, say “managers,” do not confer such an externality. We find that a uniform entry fee encourages self-selection such that the migrants are only or mostly highly skilled managers. The (near) absence of migrant scientists has a negative effect on the productivity of the country’s workforce. Under a quota: the migrants are (a) only averagely skilled managers if the productivity externality generated by the scientists is weak, or (b) only averagely skilled scientists if the productivity externality generated by the scientists is strong. In (a), a uniform entry fee is preferable to a quota. In (b), a quota is preferable to a uniform entry fee. If, however, the entry fee for scientists is sufficiently below the entry fee for managers, then migrants will be only or mostly highly skilled scientists, rendering a differentiated entry fee preferable to a quota even when the productivity externality is strong. Instituting a differentiated fee comes, though, at a cost: the fee revenue is not as high as it will be when migrants are only or mostly managers. We conclude that if maximizing the revenue from the entry fee is not the primary objective of the developed country, then a differentiated entry fee is the preferred policy.

Ordering two-qubit states with concurrence and negativity

Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: We study the ordering of two-qubit states with respect to the degree of bipartite entanglement using the Wootters concurrence -- a measure of the entanglement of formation, and the negativity -- a measure of the entanglement cost under the positive-partial-transpose-preserving operations. For two-qubit pure states, the negativity is the same as the concurrence. However, we demonstrate analytically on simple examples of various mixtures of Bell and separable states that the entanglement measures can impose different orderings on the states. We show which states, in general, give the maximally different predictions, (i) when one of the states has the concurrence greater but the negativity smaller than those for the other state, and (ii) when the states are entangled to the same degree according to one of the measures, but differently according to the other.

description: A statistic w, the differential coefficient of the mean absolute difference of an observed lightcurve, is proposed for timescale analysis of shot widths. The shortest width of random shots can be measured by the position of the lower cut-off in the timescale spectrum of w. We use the statistic to analyze X-ray lightcurves from a sample of neutron star and black hole binaries and the results show that the timescale analysis can help us distinguish between neutron star binaries and black hole binaries. The analysis can further reveal the structure and dynamics of accretion disks around black holes.

description: In this paper, we investigate the effect of the Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP) in the Casimir wormhole spacetime recently proposed by Garattini [Eur. Phys. J. C (2019) 79: 951]. In particular, we consider three types of the GUP relations, firstly the Kempf, Mangano and Mann (KMM) model, secondly the Detournay, Gabriel and Spindel (DGS) model, and finally the so called type II model for GUP principle. To this end, we consider three specific models of the redshift function along with two different EoS of state given by $\mathcal{P}_r(r)=ω_r(r) ρ(r)$ along with $\mathcal{P}_t(r)=ω_t (r)\mathcal{P}_r(r)$ and obtain a class of asymptotically flat wormhole solutions supported by Casimir energy under the effect of GUP. Furthermore we check the null, weak, and strong condition at the wormhole throat with a radius $r_0$, and show that in general the classical energy condition are violated by some arbitrary quantity at the wormhole throat. Importantly, we examine the wormhole geometry with semi-classical corrections via embedding diagrams. We also consider the ADM mass of the wormhole, the volume integral quantifier to calculate the amount of the exotic matter near the wormhole throat, and the deflection angle of light.

Vorschläge für eine geochronologische Gliederung des Holozäns in Europa

description: Innerhalb des Holozäns sind die Grenzen der Untereinheiten dank der Fortschritte geochronologischer Methoden (Warwen-Zählung, Dendrochronologie, C-14-Verfahren u. a.) bereits so genau festlegbar, daß es notwendig ist, eine Standardgliederung aufzustellen. Es wird vorgeschlagen, in einem engumgrenzten Bezugsraum auf biostratigraphischem Wege ermittelte Abschnittsgrenzen chronologisch zu fixieren (z. B. durch C 14), die lithostratigraphisch-biostratigraphischen Lokalgliederungen Europas auf demselben Wege chronologisch zu überprüfen und an das Bezugsschema anzuhängen. Als Gebiet für die Standardgliederung wird ein von der Nordsee zur Ostsee reichender Streifen der Jütischen Halbinsel vorgeschlagen, und zwar deshalb, weil man in diesem Gebiete den Zeitpunkt des Eintreffens biofazieller (waldgeschichtlicher) Abschnitte ermitteln und mit den Ereignissen im marinen Faziesbereich verknüpfen kann. Die Grenzen der Pollenzonen sollen hier auf chronologischem Wege festgelegt werden. Es erweist sich als notwendig, die Namen für die Unterabschnitte des Holozäns in Zukunft zweierlei Kategorien zuzuweisen: a) mit den Abschnitten der Standardgliederung zeitlich übereinstimmende Zeiträume, b) Untereinheiten des Holozäns, die auf der Basis lokaler litho- oder biostratigraphischer Unterscheidung stehen. Für die Standardgliederung wird vorgeschlagen, die Grenzen wie folgt zu legen: Beginn des Jungholozäns: Beginn Pollenzone des Subatlantikums; Beginn des Mittelholozäns: Beginn Pollenzone des Atlantikums; Beginn des Altholozäns: Beginn Pollenzone des Präboreals (jeweils im Bezugsraum). Diese Einheiten werden unterteilt in mit neuen Termini zu belegende Stufen; die Ausdrücke der BLYTT-SERNANDERschen Theorie sind durch diese neue Stufen-Begriffe zu ersetzen.

description: This report summarizes some of the recent HERA results obtained by studying hard processes in ep-scattering. By resolving the structure of the proton, hard ep-reactions provide information on the parton content of the proton and may give insight into the dynamics of the exchanged parton cascade. In addition, their study offers the possibility to test the Standard Model, in particular perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics, on which the theoretical predictions on ep-scattering cross sections are generally based. Any observed deviation between the data and existing theoretical models would either indicate the need to calculate higher order contributions or hint at signs of new physics.

A Fast Algorithm for Calculation of Thêo1
Creators: name: Lewis, Ben
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Data Analysis, Statistics and Probability (physics.data-an)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Thêo1 is a frequency stability statistic which is similar to the Allan variance but can provide stability estimates at longer averaging factors and with higher confidence. However, the calculation of Thêo1 is significantly slower than the Allan variance, particularly for large data sets, due to a worse computational complexity. A faster algorithm for calculating the `all-$τ$' version of Thêo1 is developed by identifying certain repeated sums and removing them with a recurrence relation. The new algorithm has a reduced computational complexity, equal to that of the Allan variance. Computation time is reduced by orders of magnitude for many datasets. The new, faster algorithm does introduce an error due to accumulated floating point errors in very large datasets. The error can be compensated for by increasing the numerical precision used at critical steps. The new algorithm can also be used to increase the speed of ThêoBr and ThêoH which are more sophisticated statistics derived from Thêo1.

description: Die Formengemeinschaft der Hochgebiete des Bayerischen Waldes ist oberhalb von etwa 1 000 m Höhe gekennzeichnet durch die Vergesellschaftung von Karen, Steilhängen, steilen Muldentalschlüssen, bandförmigen Hangversteilungen sowie Wasserfällen und Flußschnellen. Diese Formen kommen auch unterhalb der in der Literatur aufgeführten mächtigen Blockmoränen vor und sind Zeugnisse einer weitreichenden Vergletscherung. Die C14-Bestimmung einer Probe aus dem Grundmoränenkomplex im Aufschluß bei der Schustersäge im Reschwassertal gab ein Alter von etwa 40800 Jahren. Es lassen sich drei würmeiszeitliche Stadien unterscheiden: das Maximalstadium, das Blockmoränenstadium und das Karmoränenstadium. Die Schneegrenzen der Stadien betrugen etwa 1060, 1140 und 1230 m. Im Regengebiet bei Zwiesel gibt es Aufschlüsse mit Stauchungserscheinungen in hochgelegenen Terrassen. Diese Vorkommen sind älter als die letzte Eiszeit und werden entsprechend den Befunden im Schwarzwald als Spuren einer noch ausgedehnteren rißeiszeitlichen Vergletscherung gedeutet. Die Karte der Verbreitung der würmeiszeitlichen Gletscher gibt für die tschechischen Gebiete nur eine extrapolierte Verbreitung an, die auf Grund von Karteninterpretationen entstand und nicht im Gelände überprüft werden konnte.

I explicitly model the relationships among food prices, nutrition, and cognitive development for both non-farm and farm households and use the model to motivate my empirical strategy. My empirical results confirm that there exist statistically significant differences between the two types of households in terms of the partial effects of food prices on children’s cognitive development. Using the preferred specification of this paper, I find that on average, a 1% increase in food price level reduces children’s probability of literacy by 0.44% for non-farm households and 0.37% for farm households; the average food price effect for farm households is 5/6 of that for non-farm households, after controlling for nonfood prices, household wages, demographic characteristics, household environments, and agricultural production inputs. These results send an important message to policymakers who want to address childhood nutrition and cognitive skill issues in developing countries—policy prescriptions need to take the population composition into consideration.

description: Ordinary differential equations and boundary value problems arise in many aspects of mathematical physics. Chebyshev differential equation is one special case of the Sturm-Liouville boundary value problem. Generating function, recursive formula, orthogonality, and Parseval's identity are some important properties of Chebyshev polynomials. Compared with a Fourier series, an interpolation function using Chebyshev polynomials is more accurate in approximating polynomial functions. -------- Des équations différentielles ordinaires et des problèmes de valeurs limites se posent dans de nombreux aspects de la physique mathématique. L'équation différentielle de Chebychev est un cas particulier du problème de la valeur limite de Sturm-Liouville. La fonction génératrice, la formule récursive, l'orthogonalité et l'identité de Parseval sont quelques propriétés importantes du polynôme de Chebyshev. Par rapport à une série de Fourier, une fonction d'interpolation utilisant des polynômes de Chebyshev est plus précise dans l'approximation des fonctions polynomiales.

description: In contemporary era, a nation's strength is assessed in terms of development of science and technology. Therefore, it is very necessary that citizens of a nation would become scientifically literate. Science communicators use various innovative techniques for promoting an easier access to science. Recently science fiction has also established itself through different media as an effective means of communicating science. Science Fiction books have so far played a pivotal role in inspiring millions regarding science as a subject of learning and understanding. This research paper attempts to study that how far science fiction books have been able to communicate pure science among the public. For this, the researcher intends to analyze the content of five popular science fiction books by using Content Analysis method so that it become clear that what proportion of pure science has been communicated. The following books have been selected by using systematic random sampling techniques: 1) Digital fortress 2) Journey to the Centre of the Earth 3) The Swarm 4) The War of Worlds 5) Twenty Thousands Leagues under the Sea. The research study will explore the issues highlighted by these books and there relevance in the contemporary scientific scenario.

 Rhinophis tricoloratus Deraniyagala, 1975: 535.
TYPE MATERIAL. — Holotype: NMSL 1978.5.1.
TYPE LOCALITY. — Miyanpalawa in the Sinharaja Forest Reserve, southern Sabaragamuwa province, Sri Lanka.
 DISTRIBUTION. — This species is known from a small area of lowland tropical rainforests, c. 455 m around Sinharaja World Heritage Site, Kanneliya Forest Reserve, and Beraliya Mukalana Proposed Forest Reserve in the Southern and Sabaragamuwa provinces of Sri Lanka (Somaweera 2006; Karunarathna & Amarasinghe 2012).
DESCRIPTION
 The holotype has 163 ventral scales in 17 rows at midbody, contrary to earlier reports (see Wickramasinghe et al. 2009), and five subcaudals. Distinctive color-pattern, with a primarily black dorsal coloration, paired white ocellations, mostly anteriorly, occasionally very dark or faded, a yellowish-white wash on the sides and venter, and an incomplete whitish ring around the tail.
REMARK
While this species has been encountered and photographed since its original description, the range of morphological variation has not been well-characterized.

DESCRIPTION
 Maximum total length c. 390 mm, ventrals 207-221, subcaudals 3-6, dorsal scales in 17 rows at midbody (see Gower & Maduwage 2011). Distinctive color-pattern, with a yellowishwhite dorsal coloration on the sides and a purplish-black middorsal stripe that variegates with the yellow to form a chain-like or zig-zag pattern.
REMARKS
 This species has been collected multiple times over several years around the type locality (Gower & Maduwage 2011). A photograph of a live specimen was mislabeled as Rhinophis dorsimaculatus by Somaweera (2006; see Gower & Maduwage 2011). This species was also referred to as Rhinophis sp. 2 by Cadle et al. (1990), known specimens having been collected first in the 1970s (Gower & Maduwage 2011).

description: We present the clustering properties of hard (2-8 keV) X-ray selected sources detected in a wide field (~2 deg^{2}) shallow [f(2-8 keV)~ 10^{-14} erg cm^{-2} s^{-1}] and contiguous XMM-Newton survey. We perform an angular correlation function analysis using a total of 171 sources to the above flux limit. We detect a ~ 4σcorrelation signal out to 300 arcsec with w(theta < 300^{''}) ~ 0.13 +- 0.03. Modeling the two point correlation function as a power law of the usual form we find: theta_o=48.9^{+15.8}_{-24.5} arcsec and gamma=2.2 +- 0.30. Fixing the correlation function slope to gamma=1.8 we obtain theta_o=22.2^{+9.4}_{-8.6} arcsec. Using Limber's integral equation and a variety of possible luminosity functions of the hard X-ray population, we find a relatively large correlation length, ranging from r_o ~ 9 to 19 h^{-1} Mpc (for gamma=1.8 and the concordance cosmological model), with this range reflecting also different evolutionary models for the source luminosities and clustering characteristics.

Reste des Eisstromnetzes in inneralpinen Becken

description: Das Modell vom „Rückzug" der würmzeitlichen Alpengletscher bedarf der Korrektur. Die kontinuierlich abschmelzende Gletscherzunge, die bei kurzfristigen Klimaverschlechterungen im Spätglazial lokal vorstößt, dann aber wieder langsam die Talung räumt, kann nicht jeden Abschnitt des ehemaligen Eisstromnetzes repräsentieren. Ein erster Arbeitsbericht stellt einen andersartigen Eisschwund in Form von gewaltigen, stagnierenden Gletscherzungen vor. Diese plombierten, um- und überschottert als Toteis, die Becken von Bad Mitterndorf (Steirisches Salzkammergut), von Feltre und Belluno (Provinz Belluno, Italien) und die Talung von Sargans bis zum Walensee (Kanton St. Gallen, Schweiz). Obwohl die Untersuchungsgebiete innerhalb der Alpen unterschiedliche Lagen (in bezug auf Eislieferung, Transfluenzen, Vorlandgletscher) einnehmen, zeigen sie Gemeinsamkeiten: — Die angesprochenen Becken wurden präglazial als intramontane Ebenen (Büdel 1980) angelegt. — Die Erosionsleistung der durchziehenden Eismassen ist erstaunlich gering. — Stagnierendes Eis war durch hoch aufragende Südumrandungen beschattet und damit unverhältnismäßig lange vor dem endgültigen Abtauen bewahrt. — Somit ist Toteis verantwortlich für die Bildung von Umfließungsrinnen innerhalb der Grundmoräne der Hänge, für eine Fülle von getreppt angeordneten Randterrassen und letztlich für die heutige Art der Beckenentwässerung.

description: We have performed a series of N-body/hydrodynamical (TreeSPH) simulations of clusters and groups of galaxies, selected from cosmological N-body simulations within a $Λ$CDM framework: these objects have been re-simulated at higher resolution to $z$=0, in order to follow also the dynamical, thermal and chemical input on to the ICM from stellar populations within galaxies. The simulations include metal dependent radiative cooling, star formation according to different IMFs, energy feedback as strong starburst-driven galactic super-winds, chemical evolution with non-instantaneous recycling of gas and heavy elements, effects of a meta-galactic UV field and thermal conduction in the ICM. In this Paper I of a series of three, we derive results, mainly at $z=0$, on the temperature and entropy profiles of the ICM, its X-ray luminosity, the cluster cold components (cold fraction as well as mass--to--light ratio) and the metal distribution between ICM and stars. In general, models with efficient super-winds, along with a top-heavy stellar IMF, are able to reproduce fairly well the observed $L_X-T$ relation, the entropy profiles and the cold fraction. Observed radial ICM temperature profiles can be matched, except for the gradual decline in temperature inside of $r\sim$~0.1$R_{\rm{vir}}$. Metal enrichment of the ICM gives rise to somewhat steep inner iron gradients; yet, the global level of enrichment compares well to observational estimates after correcting for the stars formed at late times at the base of the cooling flows; also the metal partition between stars and ICM gets into good agreement with observations.

title: Gas and Dust in Galactic Planetary Nebulae at Sub-Solar Metallicity
Creators: name: Pagomenos, George
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2019

description: Planetary nebulae are the final phases of evolution for low- to intermediate-mass stars (∼ 0.8– 8 M⊙). They consist of a central star surrounded predominantly by a circumstellar envelope containing the products of nuclear processing, and a photodissociation region containing dust and molecules. These include silicates and large organic molecules such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are ubiquitous throughout the Universe, and fullerenes, which are the largest molecules to be firmly detected in space. All of this material coasts away from the central star, causing enrichment of the interstellar medium. Although there have been significant advances in studies of this circumstellar material, we still do not fully understand how the metallicity (i.e. the abundance of elements heavier than helium) of the local environment affects the dust composition around these stars, or the processes that govern the formation and evolution of these large organic molecules. This thesis presents a series of studies in which the abundances and dust composition around planetary nebulae are characterised in the low metallicity regions of the Milky Way, with use of data from the Spitzer Space Telescope and SOFIA. These include investigations into the metallicity and dust content of planetary nebulae in the outer thin disk and the halo of the Galaxy, and the physical conditions in which large organic molecules form. I find that the outer regions of the Galactic disk have a lower metallicity than the solar neighbourhood, and that regions of low metallicity favour carbon-rich dust production over oxygen-rich dust (i.e. silicates), except for within the Galactic halo. These regions show a greater diversity of carbonaceous material than observed towards the Galactic bulge and in the solar neighbourhood. Fullerenes are preferentially formed in environments with low hydrogen density.
