description: We use the long-slit spectroscopy mode of the VISIR-NEAR experiment to perform diffraction-limited observations of eight nearby Herbig Ae protoplanetary disks. We extract spectra for various locations along the slit with a spectral resolution of R = 300 and perform a compositional fit at each spatial location using spectral templates of silicates and the four PAH bands. This yields the intensity vs. location profiles of each species. Results. We could obtain spatially-resolved intensity profiles of the PAH emission features in the N-band for five objects (AB Aurigae, HD 97048, HD 100546, HD 163296, and HD 169142). We observe two kinds of PAH emission geometry in our sample: centrally-peaked (HD 97048) and ring-like (AB Aurigae, HD 100546, HD 163296, and potentially HD 169142). Comparing the spatial PAH emission profiles with near-infrared scattered light images, we find a strong correlation in the disk sub-structure but a difference in radial intensity decay rate. The PAH emission shows a less steep decline with distance from the star. Finally, we find a correlation between the presence of (sub-) micron-sized silicate grains leading to the depletion of PAH emission within the inner regions of the disks. In this work, we find the following: (1) PAH emission traces the extent of Herbig Ae disks to a considerable radial distance. (2) The correlation between silicate emission within the inner regions of disks and the depletion of PAH emission can result from dust-mixing and PAH coagulation mechanisms and competition over UV photons. (3) For all objects in our sample, PAHs undergo stochastic heating across the entire spatial extent of the disk and are not saturated. (4) The difference in radial intensity decay rates between the PAHs and scattered-light profiles may be attributed to shadowing and dust-settling effects, which affect the scattering grains more than the PAHs.

description: Starting with models for the compact object merger event rate, the short-duration Gamma-ray Burst (sGRB) luminosity function, and the Swift/BAT detector, we calculate the observed Swift sGRB rate and its uncertainty. Our probabilistic sGRB world model reproduces the observed number distributions in redshift and flux for 123 Swift/BAT detected sGRBs and can be used to predict joint sGRB/LIGO detection rates. We discuss the dependence of the rate predictions on the model parameters and explore how they vary with increasing experimental sensitivity. In particular, the number of bursts in the LIGO volume depends strongly on the parameters that govern sGRB beaming. Our results suggest that nearby sGRBs should be observed to have broader jets on average ($θ_{\rm jet}\gtrsim 30$ degrees), as compared to the narrowly-beamed appearance of cosmological sGRBs due to detection selection effect driving observed jet angle. Assuming all sGRBs are due to compact object mergers, within a $D < 200$ Mpc aLIGO volume, we predict $0.18^{+0.19}_{-0.08}$ sGRB/GW associations all-sky per year for on-axis events at Swift sensitivities, increasing to $1.2^{+1.9}_{-0.6}$ with the inclusion of off-axis events. We explore the consistency of our model with GW170817/GRB~170817A in the context of structured jets. Predictions for future experiments are made.

description: We consider stationary stochastic processes arising from dynamical systems by evaluating a given observable along the orbits of the system. We focus on the extremal behaviour of the process, which is related to the entrance in certain regions of the phase space, which correspond to neighbourhoods of the maximal set $\mathcal M$, i.e. the set of points where the observable is maximised. The main novelty here is the fact that we consider that the set $\mathcal M$ may have a countable number of points, which are associated by belonging to the orbit of a certain point, and may have accumulation points. In order to prove the existence of distributional limits and study the intensity of clustering, given by the Extremal Index, we generalise the conditions previously introduced in \cite{FFT12,FFT15}.

description: We present a new study of quasi-elastic $W$ and $Z$ scattering processes in high-energy $e^+e^-$ collisions, based on and extrapolating the low-energy effective theory which extends the Standard Model with a 125 GeV Higgs boson. Besides parameterizing deviations in terms of the dimension-8 operators that arise in the effective theory, we also study simplified models of new physics in $W/Z$ scattering in terms of scalar and tensor resonance multiplets. The high-energy asymptotics of all models is regulated by a universal unitarization procedure. This enables us to provide benchmark scenarios which can be meaningfully evaluated off-shell and in exclusive event samples, and to determine the sensitivity of an $e^+e^-$ collider to the model parameters. We analyze the longitudinal vector boson scattering modes, where we optimize the cuts for the fiducial cross section for different collider scenarios. Here, we choose energy stages of 1.0, 1.4 and 3 TeV, as motivated by the extendability of the ILC project and the staging scenario of the CLIC project.

description: The high Antarctic plateau provides exceptional conditions for conducting infrared observations of the cosmos on account of the cold, dry and stable atmosphere above the ice surface. This paper describes the scientific goals behind the first program to examine the time-varying universe in the infrared from Antarctica - the Kunlun Infrared Sky Survey (KISS). This will employ a small (50 cm aperture) telescope to monitor the southern skies in the 2.4um Kdark window from China's Kunlun station at Dome A, on the summit of the Antarctic plateau, through the uninterrupted 4-month period of winter darkness. An earlier paper discussed optimisation of the Kdark filter for the best sensitivity (Li et al 2016). This paper examines the scientific program for KISS. We calculate the sensitivity of the camera for the extrema of observing conditions that will be encountered. We present the parameters for sample surveys that could then be carried out for a range of cadences and sensitivities. We then discuss several science programs that could be conducted with these capabilities, involving star formation, brown dwarfs and hot Jupiters, exoplanets around M dwarfs, the terminal phases of stellar evolution, discovering fast transients as part of multi-wavelength campaigns, embedded supernova searches, reverberation mapping of active galactic nuclei, gamma ray bursts and the detection of the cosmic infrared background.

description: Accumulating evidence attributes the role of aldose reductase (AR) in modulating ROS and inflammation which are the main factor responsible for cancer progression and drug resistance. Epalrestat is the only AR inhibitor being used in Asian countries. It did not make it to the markets of the USA and Europe due to marginal efficacy as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent owing to difficulty reaching intracellular targets. In our previous studies, we attempted to synthesize the epalrestat analogs and reported that the compound 4-((Z)-5-((Z)-2-Cyano-3-phenylallylidene)-4-oxo-2-thioxothiazolidin-3-yl) benzoic acid named as NARI-29 has potent AR inhibition compared to epalrestat. In the current study, we aimed to find the effect of NARI-29 on ROS-induced cancer progression and TRAIL resistance in colon cancer in vitro models. In the first part of the study, we demonstrated that the NARI-29 has specific AKR1B1 inhibition and superior drug-like properties than epalrestat using bioinformatics tools. In the second part of the study, it was proven that NARI-29 has induced the hydrogen peroxide-triggered TRAIL-induced apoptosis in the colon cancer cells via modulating the AKR1B1/4HNE/FOXO3a/DR axis. The selective cytotoxicity of NARI-29 (10-fold) compared to epalrestat (4-fold) toward cancer cells is due to its differential ROS regulation and anti-inflammatory activities. Altogether, these data show that NARI-29 may be a potential candidate for AR inhibitors, which will be used to prevent colon cancer progression and as adjuvant therapy for preventing TRAIL resistance. AKR1B1 is over-expressed in advanced-stage human colon cancer tissues AKR1B1 mediates resistance to H2O2 and TRAIL in human CRC cell lines A co-activation loop exists between NF-κB and AKR1B1 in CRC cell lines to counteract ROS Establishing epalrestat analog, NARI-29 (4-((Z)-5-((Z)-2-Cyano-3-phenylallylidene)-4-oxo-2-thioxothiazolidin-3-yl) benzoic acid) as potent anti-colon cancer agents NARI-29 induced selective apoptosis in colon cancer cells by differentially modulating the ROS and sensitizing TRAIL

description: Using resolved optical stellar photometry from the Panchromatic Hubble Andromeda Treasury Triangulum Extended Region (PHATTER) survey, we measured the star formation history (SFH) near the position of 85 supernova remnants (SNRs) in M33. We constrained the progenitor masses for 60 of these SNRs, finding the remaining 25 remnants had no local SF in the last 56 Myr consistent with core-collapse SNe (CCSNe), making them potential Type Ia candidates. We then infer a progenitor mass distribution from the age distribution, assuming single star evolution. We find that the progenitor mass distribution is consistent with being drawn from a power-law with an index of $-2.9^{+1.2}_{-1.0}$. Additionally, we infer a minimum progenitor mass of $7.1^{+0.1}_{-0.2}\ M_{\odot}$ from this sample, consistent with several previous studies, providing further evidence that stars with ages older than the lifetimes of single 8 $M_{\odot}$ stars are producing supernovae.

description: This paper applies the Free Energy Principle (FEP) to propose that the lack of action in response to the global ecological crisis should be considered a maladaptive symptom of human activity that we refer to as biophilia deficiency syndrome. The paper is organised into four parts: the characterisation of the natural world under the Gaia Hypothesis, the employment of the FEP as a description of the behavior of self-organising systems, the application of the FEP to Gaia to understand coupling dynamics between living systems and purportedly non-living planetary processes, and the offering of positive interventions for addressing the current state of ecological crisis under this framework. For the latter, we emphasize the importance of perturbing stuck states for healthy development, and the necessary appreciation of life existing as nested systems at multiple levels in a hierarchy. We propose the development of human biophilia virtue in accordance with the FEP as a practical intervention for treating biophilia deficiency syndrome and helping to safeguard the balance of planetary processes and the integrity of living systems that depend on them, offering some examples of what this might look like in practice. Overall, this paper provides novel insights into how to catalyse meaningful ecological change, proposing a deliberate and disruptive approach to addressing the dysfunctional relationship between humans and the rest of the natural world.
Analytical investigation of the decrease in the size of the habitable zone due to limited CO$_2$ outgassing rate

Year: 2016

description: The habitable zone concept is important because it focuses the scientific search for extraterrestrial life and aids the planning of future telescopes. Recent work has shown that planets near the outer edge of the habitable zone might not actually be able to stay warm and habitable if CO$_2$ outgassing rates are not large enough to maintain high CO$_2$ partial pressures against removal by silicate weathering. In this paper I use simple equations for the climate and CO$_2$ budget of a planet in the habitable zone that can capture the qualitative behavior of the system. With these equations I derive an analytical formula for an effective outer edge of the habitable zone, including limitations imposed by the CO$_2$ outgassing rate. I then show that climate cycles between a Snowball state and a warm climate are only possible beyond this limit if the weathering rate in the Snowball climate is smaller than the CO$_2$ outgassing rate (otherwise stable Snowball states result). I derive an analytical solution for the climate cycles including a formula for their period in this limit. This work allows us to explore the qualitative effects of weathering processes on the effective outer edge of the habitable zone, which is important because weathering parameterizations are uncertain.

description: Soaking aged fat pork is a special aging process in the production of Chi-aroma Baijiu considered to involve the formation of free radicals. This study aimed to investigate the free radicals’ formation pathway in Chi-aroma Baijiu during aged fat pork soaking by using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and spin trapping with 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrrolin-n-oxide (DMPO). The alkyl radical adducts (DMPO-R) and hydroxyl radical adducts (DMPO-OH) were detected in Baijiu after soaking the fat pork for aging. During the preparation process of aged fat pork, alkoxy radicals adduct (DMPO-RO) were mainly detected since lipid oxidation. Oleic acid and linoleic acid, the two main unsaturated fatty acids in fat pork, produced alkoxy radicals in the oxidation process. The total amounts of spins in linoleic acid and oleic acid after 4-month oxidation treatment increased by 248.07 ± 26.65% and 34.17 ± 0.72% than 0-month. It indicated that the free radicals in aged Chi-aroma Baijiu were mainly derived from the two main unsaturated fatty acids in aged fat pork and linoleic acid had a stronger ability to produce free radicals than oleic acid. Alkoxy radicals (RO·) from fat pork reacted with ethanol in Baijiu to form alkyl radicals (R·). The peroxide bond of hydroperoxides from the oxidation of unsaturated fatty acid was cleaved to form hydroxyl radicals (·OH) that were transferred to Baijiu. The results provide theoretical guidance for the subsequent work of free radicals scavenging.

description: By regarding the Einstein equations as equation(s) of state, we demonstrate that a full cohomogeneity horizon first law can be derived in horizon thermodynamics. In this approach both the entropy and the free energy are derived concepts, while the standard (degenerate) horizon first law is recovered by a Legendre projection from the more general one we derive. These results readily generalize to higher curvature gravities and establish a way of how to formulate consistent black hole thermodynamics without conserved charges.

description: This study investigates optical activity and quantum transport in twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) systems, demonstrating that the former results from spatial dispersion effects. The transfer matrix method is used to solve the propagation of electromagnetic waves through two graphene layers that act as the coupling surfaces of a dielectric slab. The resulting optical conductivity tensor is decomposed into a local and a drag part, with the drag transverse conductivity $σ_{xy}^{(drag)}$ governing the TBG system's optical property. An effective continuum model is employed to analyze electron state formation and calculate relevant parts of the optical conductivity tensor. Correlation of electron motions leads to incomplete cancellation and a finite $σ_{xy}^{(drag)}$ in the chiral TBG lattice. The study also calculates DC conductivity, showing TBG supports quantum conductivity proportional to $e^2/h$ at the intrinsic Fermi energy.

description: Humans and other animals value information that reduces uncertainty or leads to pleasurable anticipation, even if it cannot be used to gain tangible rewards or change outcomes. In exchange, they are willing to incur significant costs, sacrifice rewards or invest effort. We investigated whether human participants were also willing to endure pain – a highly salient and aversive cost – to obtain such information. Forty participants performed a computer-based task. On each trial, they observed a coin flip, with each side associated with different monetary rewards of varying magnitude. Participants could choose to endure a painful stimulus (low, moderate or high pain) to learn the outcome of the coin flip immediately. Importantly, regardless of their choice, winnings were always earned, rendering this information non-instrumental. Results showed that agents were willing to endure pain in exchange for information, with a lower likelihood of doing so as pain levels increased. Both higher average rewards and a larger variance between the two possible rewards independently increased the willingness to accept pain. Our results show that the intrinsic value of escaping uncertainty through non-instrumental information is sufficient to offset pain experiences, suggesting a shared mechanism through which these can be directly compared.

description: We provide analytic results for two-loop four-point master integrals with one massive propagator and one massive leg relevant to single top production. Canonical bases of master integrals are constructed and the Simplified Differential Equations approach is employed for their analytic solution. The necessary boundary terms are computed in closed form in the dimensional regulator, allowing us to obtain analytic results in terms of multiple polylogarithms of arbitrary transcendental weight. We provide explicit solutions of all two-loop master integrals up to transcendental weight six and discuss their numerical evaluation for Euclidean and physical phase-space points.

description: Multi-colour broad-band transit observations offer the opportunity to characterise the atmosphere of an extrasolar planet with small- to medium-sized telescopes. One of the most favourable targets is the hot Jupiter HAT-P-32 b. We combined 21 new transit observations of this planet with 36 previously published light curves for a homogeneous analysis of the broad-band transmission spectrum from the Sloan u' band to the Sloan z' band. Our results rule out cloud-free planetary atmosphere models of solar metallicity. Furthermore, a discrepancy at reddest wavelengths to previously published results makes a recent tentative detection of a scattering feature less likely. Instead, the available spectral measurements of HAT-P-32 b favour a completely flat spectrum from the near-UV to the near-IR. A plausible interpretation is a thick cloud cover at high altitudes.

description: We present results on the properties of extreme gas outflows in massive ($\rm M_* \sim$10$^{11} \ \rm M_{\odot}$), compact, starburst ($\rm SFR \sim$$200 \, \rm M_{\odot} \ yr^{-1}$) galaxies at z = $0.4-0.7$ with very high star formation surface densities ($\rm Σ_{SFR} \sim$$2000 \,\rm M_{\odot} \ yr^{-1} \ kpc^{-2}$). Using optical Keck/HIRES spectroscopy of 14 HizEA starburst galaxies we identify outflows with maximum velocities of $820 - 2860$ \kmps. High-resolution spectroscopy allows us to measure precise column densities and covering fractions as a function of outflow velocity and characterize the kinematics and structure of the cool gas outflow phase (T $\sim$10$^4$ K). We find substantial variation in the absorption profiles, which likely reflects the complex morphology of inhomogeneously-distributed, clumpy gas and the intricacy of the turbulent mixing layers between the cold and hot outflow phases. There is not a straightforward correlation between the bursts in the galaxies' star formation histories and their wind absorption line profiles, as might naively be expected for starburst-driven winds. The lack of strong \mgii \ absorption at the systemic velocity is likely an orientation effect, where the observations are down the axis of a blowout. We infer high mass outflow rates of $\rm \sim$50 $-$ 2200 $\rm M_{\odot} \, yr^{-1}$, assuming a fiducial outflow size of 5 kpc, and mass loading factors of $η\sim$5 for most of the sample. %with $η\sim$20 for two galaxies. While these values have high uncertainties, they suggest that starburst galaxies are capable of ejecting very large amounts of cool gas that will substantially impact their future evolution.

description: Graphene, as a semimetal with the largest known thermal conductivity, is an ideal system to study the interplay between electronic and lattice contributions to thermal transport. While the total electrical and thermal conductivity have been extensively investigated, a detailed first-principles study of its electronic thermal conductivity is still missing. Here, we first characterize the electron-phonon intrinsic contribution to the electronic thermal resistivity of graphene as a function of doping using electronic and phonon dispersions and electron-phonon couplings calculated from first principles at the level of density-functional theory and many-body perturbation theory (GW). Then, we include extrinsic electron-impurity scattering using low-temperature experimental estimates. Under these conditions, we find that the in-plane electronic thermal conductivity of doped graphene is ~300 W/mK at room temperature, independently of doping. This result is much larger than expected, and comparable to the total thermal conductivity of typical metals, contributing ~10 % to the total thermal conductivity of bulk graphene. Notably, in samples whose physical or domain sizes are of the order of few micrometers or smaller, the relative contribution coming from the electronic thermal conductivity is more important than in the bulk limit, since lattice thermal conductivity is much more sensitive to sample or grain size at these scales. Last, when electron-impurity scattering effects are included, we find that the electronic thermal conductivity is reduced by 30 to 70 %. We also find that the Wiedemann-Franz law is broadly satisfied at low and high temperatures, but with the largest deviations of 20-50 % around room temperature.

description: We introduce GBDT version of Darboux transformation for symplectic and Hamiltonian systems as well as for Shin-Zettl systems and Sturm-Liouville equations. These are the first results on Darboux transformation for general-type Hamiltonian and for Shin-Zettl systems. The obtained results are applied to the corresponding transformations of the Weyl-Titchmarsh functions and to the construction of explicit solutions of dynamical symplectic systems, of two-way diffusion equations and of indefinite Sturm-Liouville equations. The energy of the explicit solutions of dynamical systems is expressed (in a quite simple form) in terms of the parameter matrices of GBDT.

description: We discuss the mass spectrum of $Ω$ baryon with two heavy quarks and one light quark (\textit{ccs, bbs and bcs}). The main goal of the paper is to calculate the ground state masses and after that, the positive and negative parity excited states masses are also obtained within a Hypercentral Constituent quark model, using coulomb plus linear potential framework. We also added first order correction to the potential. The mass spectra upto 5S for radial excited states and 1P-5P, 1D-4D and 1F-2F states for orbital excited states are computed for $Ω_{cc}$, $Ω_{bb}$ and $Ω_{bc}$ baryons. Our obtained results are compared with other theoretical predictions which could be a useful complementary tool for the interpretation of experimentaly unknown heavy baryon spectra. The Regge trajectory is constructed in both ($n_r$, $M^{2}$) and ($J$, $M^{2}$) planes for $Ω_{cc}$,$Ω_{bb}$ and $Ω_{bc}$ baryons and their slopes and intercepts are also determined. Magnetic moments of doubly heavy $Ω'$s are also calculated.

Towards an eGovernment: the case of the Emirate of Dubai
Creators: name: Al Bakr, Waleed
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2009

description: This thesis examines and assesses the transformation and implementation of the Dubai Government’s operation, governance and delivery of public services through its use of ICT. The research design includes a critical examination of the evolution of ICT and its role in changing public services and government operations worldwide as an early move towards E-Government. Three recognised theories are used to examine the E-Government transformation and its effects of on governments, namely: the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), the Diffusion of Innovation Theory (DOI) and the Lens of Max Weber’s Theory of Bureaucracy. Generally, the study seeks to determine what were the important factors for Dubai to achieve its strategic plan. Six questions were addressed by the research, stating the scope of work undertaken. First, to measure the status of eGovernment initiatives in terms of usefulness and ease of use. Second, to assess the extent of eGovernment application in terms of Government-to-Customer, Government-to-Business, Government-to-Government, and Government-to-Employees. Third, to determine the level of acceptance of eGovernment initiatives. Fourth, to explore the factors/challenges in a successful eTransformation of Dubai. Fifth, to assess the impacts/opportunities of eGovernment initiatives in the development of Dubai. Sixth, to formulate the model to achieve a successful implementation of eGovernment. A purposive sampling method was used for selecting citizens/customers, business employees and government employees, totalling 1500 equally distributed respondents. The researcher has prepared, administered and empirically tested three questionnaires, and also prepared and administered structured interviews with some officials of eGovernment. Data obtained are presented and analysed. Also, the study examines the catalytic role of eGovernment in the development of society, commerce and government, and shows fundamental changes from traditional systems or from bureaucratic paradigms to eGovernment paradigms. Comparisons are made with eGovernment applications in other countries as per rankings made by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU). The researcher has selected top ranked states to examine best practices in e-Government. Most importantly, this research presents a unique and original contribution to knowledge of the subject treated in its programme for achieving successful eGovernment through the proposed rocket ship model Al Bakr eGovernment Model of implementation, adoption, conclusions and findings of the study.
