Thermal Waves in Irradiated Protoplanetary Disks

description: Protoplanetary disks are mainly heated by radiation from the central star. Since the incident stellar flux at any radius is sensitive to the disk structure near that location, an unstable feedback may be present. Previous investigations show that the disk would be stable to finite-amplitude temperature perturbations if the vertical height of optical surface is everywhere directly proportional to the gas scale height and if the intercepted fraction of stellar radiation is determined from the local grazing angle. We show that these assumptions may not be generally applicable. Instead, we calculate the quasi-static thermal evolution of irradiated disks by directly integrating the global optical depths to determine the optical surface and the total emitting area-filling factor of surface dust. We show that, in disks with modest mass accretion rates, thermal waves are spontaneously and continually excited in the outer disk, propagate inward through the planet-forming domains, and dissipated at small radii where viscous dissipation is dominant. This state is quasi-periodic over several thermal timescales and its pattern does not depend on the details of the opacity law. The viscous dissipation resulting from higher mass accretion stabilizes this instability such that an approximately steady state is realized throughout the disk. In passive protostellar disks, especially transitional disks, these waves induce significant episodic changes in SEDs, on the time scales of years to decades, because the midplane temperatures can vary by a factor of two between the exposed and shadowed regions. The transitory peaks and troughs in the potential vorticity distribution may also lead to baroclinic instability and excite turbulence in theplanet-forming regions.

description: Machine learning tools have empowered a qualitatively new way to perform differential cross section measurements whereby the data are unbinned, possibly in many dimensions. Unbinned measurements can enable, improve, or at least simplify comparisons between experiments and with theoretical predictions. Furthermore, many-dimensional measurements can be used to define observables after the measurement instead of before. There is currently no community standard for publishing unbinned data. While there are also essentially no measurements of this type public, unbinned measurements are expected in the near future given recent methodological advances. The purpose of this paper is to propose a scheme for presenting and using unbinned results, which can hopefully form the basis for a community standard to allow for integration into analysis workflows. This is foreseen to be the start of an evolving community dialogue, in order to accommodate future developments in this field that is rapidly evolving.

description: Neutron structure functions can be extracted from proton and deuteron data and a representation of the deuteron structure. This procedure does not require DIS approximations or quark structure assumptions. We find that the results depend critically on properly accounting for the Q^2 dependence of proton and deuteron data. We interpolate the data to fixed Q^2, and extract the ratio of neutron to proton structure functions. The extracted ratio decreases with increasing x, up to x \approx 0.9, while there are no data available to constrain the behavior at larger x.

Schiøtz’s Grass Frog
Material: Male, NGK-Nimba 0053 (Fig. 13C).
Comments: Ptychadena arnei is a poorly studied frog occurring in humid savannahs, secondary forests, and gallery forests, from southern Senegal to central Ivory Coast (Channing and Rödel 2019). Only two females (43.5 and 45.5 mm) and two males (39.5 and 40.5 mm) were recorded at night in the Yéalé village, sitting at the edge of a road puddle that intersected a heavily degraded forest. The basic color of their back was brown to grey with a light triangle on the snout. Ptychadena oxyrhynchus, which often have a pale snout as well, have much longer legs (see e.g., Fig. 13F). The P. arnei specimens had short dorsolateral folds and possessed distinct sacral folds. They had dark to pale crossbars on the legs and lacked external metatarsal tubercles. A female (Fig. 13B) exhibited a fine yellow vertebral line. A reddish to yellow longitudinal line on the tibia was broad towards the heel, but narrow towards the knee. The upper part of flanks was reddish, while the lower part was grey with black spots. The ventral surface ranged from whitish through beige to yellow. The species is known by its unique advertisement calls, which consist of a long succession of short double calls (Channing and Rödel 2019). In paddy fields around Daloa, western-central Ivory Coast, frogs that were morphologically identical emitted such calls (Kouamé et al., unpub. data).

Low angular momentum flow model of Sgr A* activity
Creators: name: Czerny, B.

Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Sgr A* is the closest massive black hole and can be observed with the highest angular resolution. Nevertheless, our current understanding of the accretion process in this source is very poor. The inflow is almost certainly of low radiative efficiency and it is accompanied by a strong outflow and the flow is strongly variable but the details of the dynamics are unknown. Even the amount of angular momentum in the flow is an open question. Here we argue that low angular momentum scenario is better suited to explain the flow variability. We present a new hybrid model which describes such a flow and consists of an outer spherically symmetric Bondi flow and an inner axially symmetric flow described through MHD simulations. The assumed angular momentum of the matter is low, i.e. the corresponding circularization radius in the equatorial plane of the flow is just above the innermost stable circular orbit in pseudo-Newtonian potential. We compare the radiation spectrum from such a flow to the broad band observational data for Sgr A*.

Socio-Economic Determinants Of Health and Food Safety Related Risk Perceptions

Subjects: Food Consumption/Nutrition/Food Safety

description: Individual and societal perceptions of food-related health risks are multidimensional and complex. Social, political, psychological and economic factors interact with technological factors and affect perceptions in complicated ways. Understanding the determinants of risk perception will aid in food and agricultural policy development and implementation. Previous research finds that the major attributes of risk perceptions include socioeconomic variables like income, age, and gender, and that elements of the risk like public and personal exposure and the individual's control over the risk, knowledge of it and its severity are significant determinants of risk perception. Most of these past results are based on two way comparisons and factor analysis. The objective of this paper is to analyse the significance of socioeconomic determinants of risk perceptions concerning food safety. We use a multivariate approach which holds all other variables constant when determining the significance of each variable. This methodology will allow us to investigate the significance of determinants like parenthood, employment status, and household responsibilities which have been identified in earlier research but not investigated empirically (Davidson and Freundenberg 1996). A further objective of this paper is to analyze the sensitivity and stability of the socioeconomic factors affecting risk perception (Learner 1983, 1985) and to determine the robustness of the results over a two year period. There are three major findings in this study. The first is that most of the results in our multivariate context are generally consistent with earlier bivariate analysis. The second result, however, indicates that there are significant differences between the results of the two data sets, one from 1994 and the second from 1995. Thirdly, there is considerable variation in which variables are significant except for gender which is robust across all classes of goods and time periods.

description: This letter is concerned with solving continuous-discrete Gaussian smoothing problems by using the Taylor moment expansion (TME) scheme. In the proposed smoothing method, we apply the TME method to approximate the transition density of the stochastic differential equation in the dynamic model. Furthermore, we derive a theoretical error bound (in the mean square sense) of the TME smoothing estimates showing that the smoother is stable under weak assumptions. Numerical experiments are presented in order to illustrate practical use of the method.

description: This article investigates whether and why party members sometimes vote for other parties. Although often taken as parties’ most loyal voters, recent evidence suggests that members’ vote is not unconditional. Using novel survey data from Portugal, we examine rates of defection by members, test the validity of existing explanations and assess the extent to which traditional theories of party membership can account for such behavior. We argue that ideological incongruence, satisfaction with intra-party functioning, incentive structure and party activism play a key role in explaining why a member casts a vote for another party while maintaining a formal connection with their own party. Findings support the impact of internal discontentment and engagement in party activities, as well as instrumental motivations for members of smaller parties. We also explore how motivations relate to strategic considerations in driving defection. Results differ across parties, suggesting the importance of of party models and legacy. They have important implications for party membership and mobilization, as well as for future research on membership decline and the consequences of party cohesion and factionalism.

description: Among polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, pyrene is widely used as an optical probe thanks to peculiar ultraviolet absorption and infrared emission features. Interestingly, this molecule is also an abundant component of the interstellar medium, where it is detected via its unique spectral fingerprints. In this work, we present a comprehensive first-principles study on the electronic and vibrational response of pyrene and its cation to ultrafast, coherent pulses in resonance with their optically active excitations in the ultraviolet region. The analysis of molecular symmetries, electronic structure, and linear optical spectra is used to interpret transient absorption spectra and kinetic energy spectral densities computed for the systems excited by ultrashort laser fields. By disentangling the effects of the electronic and vibrational dynamics via \textit{ad hoc} simulations with stationary and moving ions, and, in specific cases, with the aid of auxiliary model systems, we rationalize that the nuclear motion is mainly harmonic in the neutral species, while strong anharmonic oscillations emerge in the cation, driven by electronic coherence. Our results provide additional insight into the ultrafast vibronic dynamics of pyrene and related compounds and set the stage for future investigations on more complex carbon-conjugated molecules.
Johann Hermann Schein and Musica poetica : a study of the application of musical-rhetorical figures in the spiritual madrigals of the Israelsbrünnlein (1623)
Creators: name: Johnston, Gregory Scott
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The present study examines the musical-rhetorical figures of the of the 17th-century "Figurenlehre" as they are applied to the spiritual madrigals of Johann Hermann Schein's "Israelsbrunnlein"(1623). Although analogies between music and text had been made long before the turn of the 17th century, it was not until Schein's own lifetime that a codified list of musical parallels to the classical rhetorical figures of oratory was compiled by Joachim Burmeister in 1599. The consequent effect of the "Figurenlehre" on music composition (musica poetica) during the remainder of the Baroque period was such that this prototypical list of musical-rhetorical figures underwent constant revision and expansion during the next one hundred and fifty years. Schein wrote at least one treatise on the subject of music composition which may very well have treated the subject of musical rhetoric. But owing to the disappearance of this manuscript, it is necessary to examine Schein's own background, assessing the pertinent elements of his own musical and rhetorical education, in order to amass sufficient historical evidence to justify a musical-rhetorical analysis of his spiritual madrigals. This study presents an abundance of substantiating evidence to support an analysis of this nature with regard to his through-composed works. The figures applied to Schein's works in this thesis are derived from contemporary 17th-century German treatises, and the results of the analyses show that musical-rhetorical figures pervade the entire composition, either as rhetorical figures of decoration or as figures of structural significance. In both cases, though, the prevailing musical-rhetorical figures parallel at all times the affect or rhetoric expressed in the sacred texts, showing ultimately the coalescent properties of the musical-rhetorical figures.

description: In the year 2020 when Britain underwent one of the most important events in its recent history, being its exit from the European Union, this event receives the name of Brexit. It is through fiction that we are able to express the political and social reality of a country and this is what author Sarah Moss does with her novel, Summerwater (2020).It is through Sara Moss’ fictional contemporary novel, that we are going to look at two important issues in the current UK social landscape, racism and isolation. 

When talking about isolation it is necessary to point out that we are talking about a sentiment of being apart of the European Union as, we will see how British citizens never fully embrace their European identity and that, their exit from the European Union has left them isolated from the rest of Europe as many Europeans look for other places to reside, work or travel due to the restrictions they are imposed by Britain and, we will see how does Moss’ witting translate this problem to Summerwater as the scene of the book setted in a Scottish cabin park and also and dark nature passages help her to talk about his issue. Racism is also reflected on the book as it has been a problem that has affected the UK for many years and, in the book, we will explore not only the interactions between the ukrainian family with the british characters, but also the interactions between Scottish and English characters as there is tension between them because of Brexit results and common shared history developing a form on “internal racism”.

This subject is worth exploring because Racism, Parody and Class are social issues that have seen growth since Brexit was made official. Although Sara Moss' novel Summerwater explores other social issues like family or social class, I found the other topics of racism and isolation worth exploring as they are not so talked about. 

The objective is to see how Summerwater portrays racism and isolation and how this book is a parody of British society as we will prove this by focusing on these two topics that are present in the novel.

Before beginning our analysis of the book we will contextualize the situation of racism and isolation in the UK as it is crucial for the understanding of the novel and the two concepts we are trying to analyze.

description: The dynamical electric behavior of a NiTi smart alloy thin filament when driven by time varying current pulses is studied by a structure-based phenomenological model that includes rate-based effects. The simulation model relates the alloy's electrical resistivity to the relative proportions of the three main structural phases namely Martensite, Austenite and R-phase, experimentally known to exist in NiTi alloy lattice structure. The relative proportions of the phases depend on temperature and applied stress. Temperature varies due to the self-heating of the filament by the Joule effect when a current pulse passes and also due to convective/radiative interchange with the ambient. The temperature variation with time causes structural phase transitions, which result in abrupt changes in the sample resistivity as the proportions of each lattice phase vary. The model is described by a system of four 1st-order nonlinear differential-algebraic equations yielding the temporal evolution of resistivity and output voltage across the filament for any given time-varying input current pulse. The model corresponds to a 4th-order extended memristor, described by four state variables, which are the proportions of each of the three NiTi lattice phases and temperature. Simulations are experimentally verified by comparing to measurements obtained for samples self-heated by triangular current input waveforms as well as for passively samples with no current input. Numerical results reproduce very well measurements of resistance vs. temperature at equilibrium as well as the full dynamics of experimentally observed I-V characteristic curves and resistance vs. driving current for time-varying current input waveforms of a wide range of frequencies (0.01-10~Hz).

description: Lorentz invariance violation in quantum gravity (QG) models or a nonzero photon mass, $m_γ$, would lead to an energy-dependent propagation speed for photons, such that photons of different energies from a distant source would arrive at different times, even if they were emitted simultaneously. By developing source-by-source, Monte Carlo-based forward models for such time delays from gamma ray bursts, and marginalising over empirical noise models describing other contributions to the time delay, we derive constraints on $m_γ$ and the QG length scale, $\ell_{\rm QG}$, using spectral lag data from the BATSE satellite. We find $m_γ< 4.0 \times 10^{-5} \, h \, {\rm eV}/c^2$ and $\ell_{\rm QG} < 5.3 \times 10^{-18} \, h \, {\rm \, GeV^{-1}}$ at 95% confidence, and demonstrate that these constraints are robust to the choice of noise model. The QG constraint is among the tightest from studies which consider multiple gamma ray bursts and the constraint on $m_γ$, although weaker than from using radio data, provides an independent constraint which is less sensitive to the effects of dispersion by electrons.

Canada’s Foreign Enlistment Act : Mackenzie King’s expedient response to the Spanish Civil War
Creators: name: Frohn-Nielsen, Thor Erik
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Twelve-hundred Canadians volunteered for the republican cause during the Spanish Civil War. Along with the large number of recruits, committees were formed, fund raising begun, rallies organized, and parliament petitioned. Interest was widespread in Canada, and tended to become emotional as the conflict became a battlefield of ideals. Whether communist labourers, socialist intellectuals, or simply champions of democracy, English speaking Canadians were inclined to support the beleaguered Republic in its battle against Franco and his fascist allies. Though English speaking Canada tended to be sympathetic toward the Republic, Mackenzie King's Liberal government passed the Foreign Enlistment Act nine months into the war, which forbad any Canadian from volunteering for either side in the conflict. Why did the Prime Minister, usually so careful in his dealings with public opinion, pass legislation that seemed to go against the wishes of the electorate? This thesis will attempt to prove that King was, in fact, paying scrupulous attention to popular sentiments, and passed the Act after a thorough analysis of his government's situation. It will be shown that opinion in Quebec, a federal Liberal stronghold, had become increasingly reactionary, and by 1936 was indeed sympathetic to Franco. King believed, quite rightly, that the vehement anti-republicanism in Quebec was simply much stronger than the pro voice from the rest of Canada. The Foreign Enlistment Act was shrewdly designed to placate Quebec voters without alienating too many English speaking Canadians. To facilitate this study it will first be necessary to examine public opinion, and the role of the media in English Canada. An analysis of the Quebec situation will then be made. Finally, a chapter will be devoted to Mackenzie King and how he dealt with the rift in public opinion .exacerbated by the Spanish Civil War. This chapter will show the Prime Minister as a political animal par excellence, who in this case, put political survival before moral principles.

description: The major change in the political structure of South Africa in 1994, i.e. democratization of society and all the regulatory structures, has resulted in a number of major changes in the agricultural scene. First and foremost, is the re-entry of South African agriculture into the global market. GATT agreements have opened the local market in South Africa for foreign produce, particularly dairy and meat products. Secondly, with the restoration of land rights and opening of agriculture, the new or beginner farmer has emerged, with a large measure of support from government.
The changes that affect agricultural education and training significantly are firstly, the change in the spectrum of youth who want to study at various tertiary levels in agriculture. Youth from the disadvantaged communities are interested in positions in farming, extension and secondary agricultural industries. Secondly, there is an urgent call from commercial or established agriculture for suitably qualified persons to fill the various management ranks during the next decade. Commercial agriculture is extensive in nature. The horticultural industries are primarily export oriented Many of these industries are presently, by tradition, large employers of labour. The strategy for success in farming in South Africa into the 21st century is specialized low cost production in order to be competitive in the global market. Education and training in Agricultural Management have taken cognisance of these factors in the planning of the curriculum. "Hands-on" experiential training is regarded as a significant component in agri-management training. Due to the social effects resulting from the significant disparity in the educational levels between farm owner, top managers and the labour on the farms which exists in South African agriculture, high priority is placed on subjects such as Agricultural Personnel Management, Leadership and Strategic Management to address these problems and to provide for training of relevant skills. The underlying approach is that labour is a stakeholder in the success of the agricultural enterprise. The impact of agricultural practices on the environment and the resultant externality problems are addressed by the inclusion of the principles of sustainability in the production oriented subjects. Management strategy training includes materials regarding ecological aspects of agriculture. Furthermore, an emphasis on sustain ability addresses the problems of resource degradation and the quality of life of the agricultural community at large.

description: Ptychadena oxyrhynchus (Smith, 1849)
Sharp-nosed Grass Frog
Material: Two females, NGK-Nimba 0040, NGK-Nimba 0041, and one male, NGK-Nimba 0042 (Fig. 13 F).
Comments: Ptychadena oxyrhynchus is a large frog with extremely robust and long hind legs. It occurs in savannahs and edges of the forest zone across sub-Saharan Africa (Rödel 2000; Channing and Rödel 2019). During the rainy season, the species was found in the Yéalé village (07°31.928’N, 008°25.401’W; 425 m asl), along dirt roads with temporary water bodies of different sizes. The species survives the dry season in humid parts of rice paddies. In this season, rice is harvested and we saw the frogs in vast numbers. The sizes of two females were 59.0 and 64.8 mm, while a male measured 52.0 mm.

description: Six maize (ZeamaysL.) hybrids (OsSK377, OsSK382, OsSK407, OsSK552, OsSK644 and Bc66-6J) were grown under soil stress conditions characterizing K-deficiency (strong K-fixing soil), excesses of Ca and Mg and moderate supplies ofplant available Fe andMn. Soil is characterized as drained gleysol developed on calcareous loess substrate and its chemical properties was as follows: pH in KCl 7.3; organic matter content 2.4%; carbonate content 14.9%; exchangeable Ca (NH4-Acetate extraction) 603 mgCa/100 and lightly exchangeable Mg (CaCl2-extraction) 38 mg Mg/100 g. The ear- leaf biometals status at silking stage of maize (July 1993) were under significant genetic (hybrid as a factor) influences. The ranges of the ear-leaf composition (mg/kg of dry matter) were as follows: from 8300 to 10600 Ca, from 2570 to 3680 K (acute K deficiency), from 9200 to 11500 Mg (oversupply of Mg), from 15.2 to 18.8 Mn (Mn deficiency), from 20.5 to 25.4 Zn andfrom 131 to 164 Fe (low Fe supply). Grain yields were in range from 1460 to 2470 kg/ha. The Os377 (2470 kg/ha) and the Os382 (2140 kg/ha) were more tolerant to soil stress in comparison with remaining four hybrids (mean yield 1600 kg/ha). Their ear-leaf K status (means 3490 and 2920 mgK/kg, for two more tolerant and four less tolerant hybrids, respectively) could be in connection with different degree of tolerance to soil stress.

description: Ptychadena pujoli (Lamotte and Ohler, 1997)
Pujol’s Grass Frog
Material: Male, NGK-Nimba 0045 (Fig. 13G).
Comments: The biology of Ptychadena pujoli is very insufficiently known. It seems to occur in savannah swamps and grassland habitats from eastern Sierra Leone, through the Upper Guinea highlands, to western Ivory Coast (Lamotte and Ohler 1997; Channing and Rödel 2019). After a heavy rainfall, some migrating individuals were found among short grasses near houses in the Yéalé village (07°31.928’N, 008°25.401’W; 425 m asl). A male (48.5 mm SUL) with a brownish-grey back had a beige vertebral band. Its back was smooth to slightly granular. Flanks were light with some large warts. The animal had continuous light-colored external folds and distinguishable sacral folds. Its legs exhibited greyish dark crossbars, and its feet lacked metatarsal tubercles. The venter was yellowish. This species lived in syntopy with P. arnei in rice paddies around villages in the Daloa region (Kouamé et al., unpub. data).

description: We present the results of a continuing survey to detect Lya emitting galaxies at redshifts z~9: the ZEN ("z equals nine'') survey. We have obtained deep VLT/ISAAC observations in the narrow J-band filter NB119 directed towards three massive lensing clusters: Abell clusters 1689, 1835, and 114. The foreground clusters provide a magnified view of the distant universe and permit a sensitive test for the presence of very high-redshift galaxies. We search for z~9 Lya emitting galaxies displaying a significant narrow-band excess relative to accompanying J-band observations that remain undetected in HST/ACS optical images of each field. No sources consistent with this criterion are detected above the unlensed 90% point-source flux limit of the narrow-band image, F_NB=3.7e-18 ergs/s/cm2. To date, the total coverage of the ZEN survey has sampled a volume at z~9 of approximately 1700 co-moving Mpc3 to a Lya emission luminosity of 1e43 erg/s. We conclude by considering the prospects for detecting z~9 Lya emitting galaxies in light of both observed galaxy properties at z<7 and simulated populations at z>7.

description: This talk presents issues pertaining to the quark structure of the pion within QCD, both from the theoretical and from the experimental point of view. We review and discuss the pion-photon transition form factor and the pion's electromagnetic form factor vs. corresponding experimental data from the CLEO Collaboration and the JLab. We also examine the extent to which recent high-precision lattice computations of the second moment of the pion's distribution amplitude conform with theoretical models. Finally, we include predictions for the azimuthal asymmetry of the $μ^+$ distribution in the polarized $μ$-pair-induced DY production employing various pion distribution amplitudes.

description: In this work we address the problem of simultaneous multi-frequency detection of extragalactic point sources in maps of the Cosmic Microwave Background. We apply a new linear filtering technique, the so called `matched matrix filters', that incorporates full spatial information, including the cross-correlation among channels, without making any a priori assumption about the spectral behaviour of the sources. A substantial reduction of the background is achieved thanks to the optimal combination of filtered maps. We describe in detail the new technique and we apply it to the detection/estimation of radio sources in realistic all-sky Planck simulations at 30, 44, 70 and 100 GHz. Then we compare the results with the mono-frequential approach based on the standard matched filter, in terms of reliability, completeness and flux accuracy of the resulting point source catalogs. The new filters outperform the standard matched filters for all these indexes at 30, 44 and 70 GHz, whereas at 100 GHz both kind of filters have a similar performance. We find a noticeable increment of the number of true detections for a fixed reliability level. In particular, for a 95% reliability we practically double the number of detections at 30, 44 and 70 GHz.
