description: The destabilising effect of Hall diffusion in a Keplerian disc allows the MRI to occur for much lower ionisation levels than would otherwise be possible. However, simulations suggest that the consequences for the saturated state are not as significant as suggested by the linear instability. Close inspection reveals that that the simulations have not yet probed the Hall-dominated regime. Here we revisit the effect of Hall diffusion on the MRI and the implications for the extent of MHD turbulence in protoplanetary discs. We conduct a local stability analysis for a vertical, weak magnetic field subject to axisymmetric perturbations with a vertical wave vector. The diffusivity dependence is presented using analytic expressions and contours in the eta_H - eta_P plane for the maximum growth rate and corresponding wave number, the upper cut-off for unstable wave numbers, and the loci that divide the plane into regions of different characteristic behaviour. In the highly-diffusive limit the magnetic field decouples from the fluid perturbations and the diffusive MRI reduces to a diffusive plane-parallel shear instability with effective shear rate 1.5 Omega. We give analytic expressions for the growth rate and wave number of the most unstable mode. Finally, we illustrate the critical effect of Hall diffusion on the extent of dead zones in protoplanetary discs by applying a local stability criterion to a simple model of the minimum-mass solar nebula at 1 au, including x-ray and cosmic-ray ionisation and a population of 1 micron grains. Hall diffusion increases or decreases the MRI-active column density by an order of magnitude or more, depending on whether B is parallel or antiparallel to the rotation axis, respectively. Existing estimates of the depth of magnetically active layers in protoplanetary discs are likely to be wildly inaccurate. [Abridged]

description: We demonstrate that in the back-to-back kinematics the production of four jets in the collision of two partons is suppressed in the leading log approximation of pQCD, compared to the hard processes involving the collision of four partons. We derive the basic equation for four-jet production in QCD in terms of the convolution of generalized two-parton distributions of colliding hadrons in the momentum space representation. Our derivation leads to geometrical approach in the impact parameter space close to that suggested within the parton model and used before to describe the four-jet production. We develop the independent parton approximation to the light-cone wave function of the proton. Comparison with the CDF and D0 data shows that the independent parton approximation to the light-cone wave function of the proton is insufficient to explain the data. We argue that the data indicate the presence of significant multiparton correlations in the light-cone wave functions of colliding protons.

description: Electroweak bosons produced in conjunction with jets in high-energy collider experiments is one of the principle final-state channels that can be used to test the accuracy of perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics calculations and to assess the potential to uncover new physics through comparison between data and theory. In this paper we present results for the $Z^0/γ^*$+jet production cross sections at the LHC at leading and next-to-leading orders. In proton-proton reactions we elucidate up to ${\cal O}(G_Fα_s^2)$ the constraints that jet tagging via the $Z^0/γ^*$ decay dileptons provides on the momentum distribution of jets. In nucleus-nucleus reactions we demonstrate that tagged jets can probe important aspects of the dynamics of quark and gluon propagation in hot and dense nuclear matter and characterize the properties of the medium-induced parton showers in ways not possible with more inclusive measurements. Finally, we present specific predictions for the anticipated suppression of the $Z^0/γ^*$+jet production cross section in the quark-gluon plasma that is expected to be created in central lead-lead collisions at the LHC relative to the naive superposition of independent nucleon-nucleon scatterings.

On Lie Algebras Generated by Few Extremal Elements
Creators: name: Roozemond, Dan
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Rings and Algebras (math.RA)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We give an overview of some properties of Lie algebras generated by at most 5 extremal elements. In particular, for any finite graph Γ and any field K of characteristic not 2, we consider an algebraic variety X over K whose K-points parametrize Lie algebras generated by extremal elements. Here the generators correspond to the vertices of the graph, and we prescribe commutation relations corresponding to the nonedges of Γ. We show that, for all connected undirected finite graphs on at most 5 vertices, X is a finite-dimensional affine space. Furthermore, we show that for maximal-dimensional Lie algebras generated by 5 extremal elements, X is a point. The latter result implies that the bilinear map describing extremality must be identically zero, so that all extremal elements are sandwich elements and the only Lie algebra of this dimension that occurs is nilpotent. These results were obtained by extensive computations with the Magma computational algebra system. The algorithms developed can be applied to arbitrary Γ (i.e., without restriction on the number of vertices), and may be of independent interest.

description: This dissertation presents research work related to laser micro sintering, laser micro machining and laser-induced plasma. Firstly, we present extensive experimental studies of double-pulse laser micro sintering (DP-LMS), which typically utilizes the high pressure generated by laser-induced plasma over the powder bed surface to promote molten flow and enhance densification. Chapter 2 shows a single-track experimental study of the DP-LMS process using cobalt powder. The related fundamental mechanisms and effects of different laser parameters on the sintering results are analyzed with the help of in-situ time-resolved temperature measurements. Chapter 3 shows a multi-track experimental study of the DP-LMS process using iron powder. The sintered materials are characterized via the top surface porosity, elemental composition, grain microstructure, nanohardness and metal phase. Three strategic guidelines for laser parameter selection are summarized in the end. Chapter 4 shows time-resolved imaging and OES measurements for plasma induced during DP-LMS. The plasma temperature and free electron number density are deduced by its optical emission spectra (OES). These three chapters have clearly demonstrated DP-LMS can produce much more continuous and densified materials than LMS only using the sintering or pressing laser pulses.
 Then, we present laser micro grooving of silicon carbide (SiC) in Chapter 5 by ultrasound-assisted water-confined laser micromachining (UWLM), in comparison with laser machining in water without ultrasound and laser machining in air. UWLM applies in-situ ultrasound to the water-immersed workpiece surface to improve the machining quality and/or productivity. Time-resolved water pressure measurements are carried out to help analyze relevant mechanisms. It has been demonstrated UWLM can be a competitive approach to produce high-quality micro grooves on SiC. The crack problem appears to be effectively solved using a high pulse repetition rate.
 Finally, we report a double-front phenomenon for plasma induced by high-intensity nanosecond laser ablation of aluminum in Chapter 6. An additional plasma front is observed via an intensified CCD (ICCD) camera, which propagates very fast at the beginning but stops propagating soon after the laser pulse mostly ends. Its formation could be caused by the inverse bremsstrahlung absorption of laser energy by the ionized ambient gas. Three possible mechanisms on how the ambient gas breakdown is initiated are proposed.

Corrosion behaviour of AZ31 magnesium alloy in highly alkaline environments
Creators: name: Doja, Somi
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys are known for their high chemical reactivity. This property often poses issues related to undesirable corrosion, or degradation of exposed surfaces. The chemical reactivity of Mg can be also exploited, and as a result Mg alloys often find use as anode materials for fuel cells. However, due to a long term immersion of the anodes in highly alkaline environments, the problem of corrosion remains and needs to be evaluated. Therefore, in this research, the corrosion behavior of a commercially available magnesium alloy AZ31 in 45 wt% potassium hydroxide (KOH), a common electrolyte for alkaline fuel cells, was studied. Immersion tests were performed for a total duration of 20 days to study the growth of corrosion products on the alloy’s surface. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD) were carried out to characterize the structure and chemistry of the corrosion products. Also, electrochemical studies were carried out to study the kinetics of corrosion of the AZ31 alloy. Finally, the effect of adding 2 wt% sodium silicate (Na₂SiO₃) to the KOH electrolyte in order to manipulate the corrosion rate was also examined. Tafel analysis confirmed that the corrosion potential of the AZ31 sample immersed in the Na₂SiO₃ + KOH solution reduced by 16% with respect to that of sample immersed in pure KOH. Although the AZ31 alloy contains only a trace amount of nickel, SEM-EDS characterization of the corrosion products revealed that they contained high levels of nickel, with XRD analysis confirming the presence of a nickel hydroxide layer. In the case of the sample immersed in Na₂SiO₃ + KOH electrolyte, an additional layer rich in silicates developed, and likely acted as a barrier for diffusion of ions from surface of the AZ31 sample to the electrolyte. EIS results of modeling the surface corrosion phenomena revealed that a modified Randle’s circuit represented the electrochemical processes occurring on the surface of the alloy. Warburg impedance for the sample immersed in Na₂SiO₃ + KOH was relatively high, suggesting a dissolution of ions from the surface into the highly alkaline KOH electrolyte.

description: We study some problems arising from the introduction of a complex scalar field in cosmology, modelling its possible behaviors in both the inflationary and dark energy stages of the universe. Such examples contribute to show that, while the complex nature of the scalar field can be indeed important during inflation, it loses its meaning in the later dark-energy dominated era of cosmology, when the phase of the complex field is practically constant, and there is indeed a transition from complex to real scalar field. In our considerations, the Noether symmetry approach turns out to be a useful tool once again. We arrive eventually at a potential containing the sixth and fourth powers of the scalar field, and the resulting semiclassical quantum cosmology is studied to gain a better understanding of the inflationary stage.

description: Paratuberculosis is a major disease in cattle that severely affects animal welfare and causes huge economic losses worldwide. Development of alternative diagnostic methods is of urgent need to control the disease. Recent studies suggest that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a crucial role in regulating immune function and may confer valuable information about the disease. However, their role has not yet been investigated in cattle with respect to infection towards Paratuberculosis. Therefore, we investigated the alteration in genomic expression profiles of mRNA and lncRNA in bovine macrophages in response to Paratuberculosis infection using RNA-Seq. We identified 397 potentially novel lncRNA candidates in macrophages of which 38 were differentially regulated by the infection. A total of 820 coding genes were also significantly altered by the infection. Co-expression analysis of lncRNAs and their neighbouring coding genes suggest regulatory functions of lncRNAs in pathways related to immune response. For example, this included protein coding genes such as TNIP3, TNFAIP3 and NF-κB2 that play a role in NF-κB2 signalling, a pathway associated with immune response. This study advances our understanding of lncRNA roles during Paratuberculosis infection.

description: Exactly solvable lattice models for spins and non-interacting fermions provide fascinating examples of topological phases, some of them exhibiting the localized Majorana fermions that feature in proposals for topological quantum computing. The Chern invariant $ν$ is one important characterization of such phases. Here we look at the square-octagon variant of Kitaev's honeycomb model. It maps to spinful paired fermions and enjoys a rich phase diagram featuring distinct abelian and nonabelian phases with $ν= 0,\pm1,\pm2,\pm3$ and $ \pm4$. The $ν=\pm1 $ and $ν=\pm3$ phases all support localized Majorana modes and are examples of Ising and $SU(2)_2$ anyon theories respectively.

description: A celebrated result of Thomassen states that not only can every planar graph be colored properly with five colors, but no matter how arbitrary palettes of five colors are assigned to vertices, one can choose a color from the corresponding palette for each vertex so that the resulting coloring is proper. This result is referred to as 5-choosability of planar graphs. Albertson asked whether Thomassen's theorem can be extended by precoloring some vertices which are at a large enough distance apart in a graph. Here, among others, we answer the question in the case when the graph does not contain short cycles separating precolored vertices and when there is a "wide" Steiner tree containing all the precolored vertices.

description: One major benefit of resistance training (RT) is increasing strength. However, the neurophysiological changes that chronic RT produces in the nervous system remain unclear. To address this, seventeen participants (9 males and 8 females) were recruited and divided into non-resistance and chronic resistance-trained groups to explore different levels of corticospinal tract excitability using a transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) that produces motor evoked potentials (MEP), and transmastoid electrical stimulation (TMES) that produces cervicomedullary evoked potentials (CMEP), and Erb’s point stimulation that produces maximal compound muscle action potentials (Mmax). All participants performed a maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) of the biceps brachii, followed by determining the stimulation intensities during a 20% MVC for TMS to achieve a 150-200ms silent period and TMES that produced a CMEP amplitude that was 75% of Mwave. The main task included five isometric elbow contractions at 25%, 50%, and 75% of MVC for eight seconds, with three stimulation techniques applied at 3, 4.5, and 6 seconds in a randomized order. Participants received a Mwave, five TMS, five TMES, and five conditioned TMES (100ms after MEP) at each contraction intensity. Data analysis using t-tests and two-way ANOVAs with contraction intensity and group and contraction intensity and sex as factors revealed that the chronic RT group required less TMS output to achieve the desired silent period (p=0.003) and had a lower active motor threshold (p<0.001). The chronic RT group exhibited 50% and 90.1% higher amplitude in conditioned and unconditioned CMEP, respectively compared to the non-RT group. Furthermore, males had 50.5% and 112.7% higher amplitudes in conditioned and unconditioned CMEP, respectively compared to females. In conclusion, chronic RT induces neurophysiological adaptations that alter the spinal excitability, showing that it is sex dependent. The alteration in corticospinal tract excitability may occur at the spinal motoneuron.

We explain why two dilute gas clouds, with underlying attractive interactions between their constituents, bounce off each other in the strongly interacting regime. Our hydrodynamic analysis, in excellent agreement with experiment, gives strong evidence for a metastable many-body state with effective repulsive interactions.

description: This paper examines the emerging contours of a new organizational form, in which firms move beyond the cooperative pacts of alliances to a radicalized, aggressive co-optation of external assets. Taking our point of departure from the literature on the “networked” firm, we point to an alternative to the make, buy, or cooperate decision: in the Möbius form, firms co-opt resources, unsecured by any alliances, formal or informal. Some companies are brazen in their co-optation, leveraging external assets so thoroughly that they might well be considered a core part of the firm. Enabled by developments in computing technologies, such co-optation challenges traditional models of organizational identity. These fluid boundaries recall the Möbius topological model, which we take as the metaphor for this nascent organizational form. We chart this new behavior by discussing a range of firm activities, including the functions of marketing, research and development, and managerial decision-making, as they are replaced with assets co-opted from other firms in the private sector, government agencies, and lastly the firm’s own users.

description: Objective: To contribute to the translation of the self-administered ALSFRS-R - European Portuguese version (ALSFRS-R: EP), and to analyse its reliability to enable its use by ALS patients in Portugal. Methods: The study was developed in 3 phases. Phase 1: Translation and cultural adaptation of the self-administered ALFRS-R; Phase 2: Content validation by study participants; Phase 3: Exploratory factor analysis (EFA), analysis of its internal consistency and test-retest reliability. Results: According to a panel of experts (N=6), a CVI of 100% were obtained for all ALSFRS-R: EP items. A sample of 18 people with ALS (13 male) fulfilled the test and evaluated its items regarding its clarity, comprehension, difficulty, and relevance, obtaining values varying from 8.6 and 8.9, 8.7 and 8.9, 8.5 and 8.8, and 8.5 and 8.9, respectively. The EFA revealed three factors representing the following domains: (1) bulbar function; (2) fine and gross motor function; and (3) respiratory function. The instrument total score and its subscales presented good internal consistency (Cronbach'sα: ranging from 0.72 to 0.92 in the test; from 0.70 to 0.95 in the retest) and good to excellent test-retest reliability (Kendall tau: ranging from 0.58 to 0.99). Considering the scale total score for the test, no statistical differences were observed between females and males nor between bulbar ALS and medullar ALS. The correlation between the total score and age showed to be significant and negative (-0.53). Conclusions: The Self-Administered ALSFRS-R: EP version was successfully translated, validated, and presented good to excellent reliability results, with similar EFA structure to other studies. It will allow its use by European Portuguese ALS patients, enabling their health professionals to monitor the disease progression at home.

description: Ratings and rankings are criticized for being simplistic, obscurantist, inaccurate, and subjective, yet they are becoming an increasingly influential social form. We elaborate the criticisms of ratings and rankings in various fields but go on to argue that analysis should shift its target. The problem that ratings deal with is not observation of an independent world. Instead, the challenge they face is the circularity of second-order observation in which observations must take into account the observations of others. To this purpose they function well enough not because they mirror how things are but because they offer a highly visible reference point to which others are attentive and thereby provide an orientation to navigate uncertainty. The concluding section places the problem of ratings and rankings in a broader historical perspective, contrasting the ranked society to the society of rankings. Responding to uncertainty, ratings and rankings perpetuates rather than eliminates anxiety.

description: In this paper we study the effect of, well-known, higher order corrections to the allowed beta decay spectrum on the determination of anti-neutrino spectra resulting from the decays of fission fragments. In particular, we try to estimate the associated theory errors and find that induced currents like weak magnetism may ultimately limit our ability to improve the current accuracy and under certain circumstance could even largely increase the theoretical errors. We also perform a critical evaluation of the errors associated with our method to extract the anti-neutrino spectrum using synthetic beta spectra. It turns out, that a fit using only virtual beta branches with a judicious choice of the effective nuclear charge provides results with a minimal bias. We apply this method to actual data for U235, Pu239 and Pu241 and confirm, within errors, recent results, which indicate a net 3% upward shift in energy averaged anti-neutrino fluxes. However, we also find significant shape differences which can in principle be tested by high statistics anti-neutrino data samples.

The rate for $0νββ$ decay, though generally below the reach of planned experiments, could approach it in some parameter region. Departure from $μτ$ symmetry due to RG evolution from a high scale and consequent CP violation, with a Jarlskog invariant whose magnitude could almost reach $6\times 10^{-3}$, are explored.

description: Surface acoustic waves (SAW) in the GHz frequency range are exploited for the all-elastic excitation and detection of ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) in a ferromagnetic/ferroelectric (nickel/lithium niobate) hybrid device. We measure the SAW magneto-transmission at room temperature as a function of frequency, external magnetic field magnitude, and orientation. Our data are well described by a modified Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert approach, in which a virtual, strain-induced tickle field drives the magnetization precession. This causes a distinct magnetic field orientation dependence of elastically driven FMR that we observe in both model and experiment.

description: We propose a one-dimensional model of spinor bosons with SU(2) symmetry and a two-body finite range Gaussian interaction potential. We show that the model is exactly solvable when the width of the interaction potential is much smaller compared to the inter-particle separation. This model is then solved via the asymptotic Bethe ansatz technique. The ferromagnetic ground state energy and chemical potential are derived analytically. We also investigate the effects of a finite range potential on the density profiles through local density approximation. Finite range potentials are more likely to lead to quasi Bose-Einstein condensation than zero range potentials.

description: Despite the high HIV prevalence among men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender women (TGW), there are limited data on progress on their respective HIV antiretroviral treatment (ART) cascades to identify progress and gaps in meeting UNAIDS 90-90-90 targets. We conducted a respondent-driven sampling survey of MSM and TGW in Bamako, Mali from October 2014 to February 2015. We describe the HIV treatment cascade for MSM and TGW, identify correlates of being unaware of HIV-infected status and having unsuppressed viral load levels, and estimate proportion of recent infections. We enrolled 387 MSM and 165 TGW. HIV prevalence was 13.7%. Of those living with HIV, 10.4% were aware of their serostatus, 61.2% of them self-reported being on treatment, and of them, 100% were virally suppressed. In multivariate analysis, factors associated with being unaware of HIV infection included not using free condoms in the last six months (aOR: 5.7, 95% CI: 1.1–29.5) and not having comprehensive knowledge of HIV (aOR: 6.5, 95% CI: 1.4–29.9). Having unsuppressed viral load was associated with identifying as a transgender woman (aOR: 4.8, 95% CI: 1.1–20.7) and not having comprehensive knowledge of HIV (aOR: 6.5, 95% CI: 1.0–40.9). Of the 79 HIV-positive participants, 5.1% had recent infections. While the proportion aware of their HIV status was low despite adjusting for viral load biomarkers, all MSM and TGW on treatment were virally suppressed. Improved testing strategies are urgently needed to achieve the first 90 of the HIV cascade among MSM and TGW in Bamako.
Gender, power, and violence: A systematic review of measures and their association with male perpetration of IPV

description: Introduction
Harmful gender norms, views on the acceptability of violence against women, and power inequities in relationships have been explored as key drivers of male perpetration of intimate partner violence (IPV). Yet such antecedents have been inconsistently measured in the empirical literature. This systematic review aimed to identify which measures of gender inequitable norms, views, relations and practices are currently being used in the field, and which are most closely tied with male IPV perpetration.

Methods
We searched five electronic databases to identify studies published between 2000 and 2015 that reported the association between such gender inequities and male perpetration of IPV. Identified scales were categorized by content area and level of generality, as well as other attributes, and we compared the consistency of scale performance across each category.

Results
Twenty-three studies were identified, employing 64 measures. Scales were categorized into three main thematic areas: views on gender roles/norms, acceptance of violence against women, and gender-related inequities in relationship power and control. We also classified whether the scale was oriented to respondents’ own views, or what they believed others do or think. While overall, measures were positively associated with IPV perpetration in 45% of cases, this finding varied by scale type. Measures inclusive of acceptance of violence against women or beliefs about men’s sexual entitlement, followed by scales that measured respondents’ views on gender roles/norms, were most consistently associated with IPV perpetration. Measures of relationship power showed less consistent associations. We found few scales that measured peer or community norms.

Conclusion
Validated scales that encompass views on the acceptance of violence against women, and scales inclusive of beliefs about men’s sexual entitlement, may be particularly promising for unpacking pathways to IPV perpetration, targeting interventions, and monitoring progress in IPV prevention efforts. A number of gaps in the literature are identified.

description: A problem of finding stationary states of open quantum systems is addressed. We focus our attention on a generic type of open system: a qubit coupled to its environment. We apply the theory of block operator matrices and find stationary states of two--level open quantum systems under certain conditions applied both on the qubit and the surrounding.

description: Sensorimotor learning typically shows generalization from one context to another. Models of sensorimotor learning characterize this with a fixed generalization function that couples learning between contexts. Here we examine whether such coupling is indeed fixed or changes with experience. We examine the interaction between motor memories for novel dynamics during reciprocating, back and forth reaching movements. Subjects first experienced a force field for one movement direction and we used channel trials to assess generalization on the reciprocal movements. This showed minimal coupling such that errors experienced for one movement direction did not lead to adaptation for the other. However, after subjects had experienced a force field for both movement directions concurrently, a coupling developed between the corresponding motor memories. That is, on re-exposure for one direction there was a significant adaptation for movements in the other direction. The coupling was specific to the errors experienced, with minimal coupling when the errors had the opposite sign to those experienced during adaptation. We developed a state-space model in which the states for the two movement directions are represented by separate, yet potentially coupled learning processes. The coupling in the model controlled the extent to which each learning process was updated by the errors experienced on the other movement direction. We show that the coupling relies on a memory trace of the consecutive errors experienced for both movement directions. Our results suggest that the generalization of motor learning is an adaptive process, reflecting the relation between errors experienced across different movements.
