description: The excitation of multiphonon giant resonances with heavy ions is discussed. The conventional theory, based on the use of the virtual photon number method in conjunction with the harmonic model is presented and its shortcomings are discussed. The recently developed model that invoke the Brink-Axel mechanism as an important contribution to the cross-section is discussed and compared to the conventional, harmonic model. The decay properties of these multiple giant resonances are also discussed within the same coherent + fluctuation model in conjunction with the hybrid decay model. It is demonstrated that the Brink-Axel mechanism enhances the direct decay of the states, as data seem to require. Comparison of our model with other recent theoretical works is presented.

Magnetic Helicity and Free Magnetic Energy of two Differently Evolving Solar Active Regions
Creators: name: Evangelia Liokati, Alexander Nindos
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: Free magnetic energy (that is relating to the electric current density) and relative magnetic helicity are key parameters that characterize the magnetic field in the solar atmosphere. The former is released in the course of flares, coronal mass ejections (CMEs), and smaller-scale dissipative events while the latter can either be removed from active regions in the form of CMEs or is transferred during reconnection events to larger-scales via existing magnetic connections. Using vector magnetograms obtained by the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) on board Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), and a connectivity-based method, we calculate the instantaneous relative magnetic helicity and free magnetic energy budgets for several days in two active regions with significantly different magnetic flux evolution. Both active regions produced several major flares associated with -CMEs during their disk passage, but this activity resulted from very different magnetic evolution: primarily magnetic flux cancellation in the first active region and primarily magnetic flux emergence in the second one. We will present the results of these calculations which show: (1) the existence of reversals in the sign of helicity before or/and after several CMEs. (2) CMEs occurring while the net active region helicities are below previously established thresholds (~2×1042 Mx2) but both their positive and (absolute) negative components are significant. (3) The free magnetic energy exhibits substantial budgets whose long-term evolution is similar to the long-term evolution of the active region's magnetic flux, although this is not always the case around large eruptive events. Our study indicates that although the two active regions evolve differently, their magnetic helicity and free magnetic energy play important roles in the initiation of their eruptive events.

description: We present early observations of the afterglow of the Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) 030329 and the spectroscopic discovery of its associated supernova SN 2003dh. We obtained spectra of the afterglow of GRB 030329 each night from March 30.12 (0.6 days after the burst) to April 8.13 (UT) (9.6 days after the burst). The spectra cover a wavelength range of 350 nm to 850 nm. The early spectra consist of a power-law continuum (F_nu ~ nu^{-0.9}) with narrow emission lines originating from HII regions in the host galaxy, indicating a low redshift of z=0.1687. However, our spectra taken after 2003 Apr. 5 show broad peaks in flux characteristic of a supernova. Correcting for the afterglow emission, we find the spectrum of the supernova is remarkably similar to the type Ic `hypernova' SN 1998bw. While the presence of supernovae have been inferred from the light curves and colors of GRB afterglows in the past, this is the first direct, spectroscopic confirmation that a subset of classical gamma-ray bursts originate from supernovae.

Limiting absorption principle for discrete Schr{ö}dinger operators with a Wigner-von Neumann potential and a slowly decaying potential

description: We consider discrete Schr{ö}dinger operators on ${\mathbb{Z}}^d$ for which the perturbation consists of the sum of a long-range type potential and a Wigner-von Neumann type potential. Still working in a framework of weighted Mourre theory, we improve the limiting absorption principle (LAP) that was obtained in [Ma1]. To our knowledge, this is a new result even in the one-dimensional case. The improvement consists in a weakening of the assumptions on the long-range potential and better LAP weights. The improvement relies only on the fact that the generator of dilations (which serves as conjugate operator) is bounded from above by the position operator. To exploit this, Loewner's theorem on operator monotone functions is invoked.

title: A study of contextual factors influencing the perception of vegetables among primary school children
Creators: name: Baxter, Irene A.
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2002

description: Low vegetable consumption among children, particularly in Scotland, is a cause for concern. Many factors may influence children’s vegetable consumption, including contextual factors such as socio-economic status and city of residence. It is also likely that associated sensory properties influence children’s perceptions of vegetables. The research presented in this thesis aimed to examine the influence of city of residence and socio-economic status on the vegetable perceptions and preferences ofprimary school children. The impact of the children’s frequency of vegetable consumption on their perceptions and preferences was also investigated. In total, 23 children aged between 8- 11-years-oldparticipated in the pilot study, and 94 children aged between 8-10-years-old in the main study. The samples used in the main study (baked beans, tomatoes, carrots, cabbage, cauliflower, turnip, sweetcom and peas) were all commonly consumed in Scotland and familiar to the subjects. Repertory grid method was used to obtain perceptual information of a free-choice nature relating to the vegetables, and additional hedonic data (without sample tasting) and contextual information was collected from each child. Data were principally analysed using generalised Procrustes analysis and internal preference mapping. Non-linear principal components analysis (PRINCALS) and homogeneity analysis (HOMALS) were employed to explore associations between children’s perceptions of the vegetables and demographic variables. Finally, consensus data were obtained from the free-choice data and an extended internal preference map was constructed to examine correlations between perceptions and preferences for the vegetables. In conclusion, the children’s preferences for and perceptions of the vegetables were influenced by socio-economic status, probably related to their experiences with/exposure to vegetables due to differences in the availability of different varieties between the socially disparate areas. Neither age, city of residence, gender, nor typical weekly consumption of vegetables were found to significantly influence the children’s preferences or perceptions of the sample vegetables. The texture of the vegetables strongly influenced the children’s perceptions and preferences of the sample vegetables. Despite the apparent influence of the samples ’ textural attributes, the flavour of the vegetables (i.e. sweet versus bitter) was additionally responsible for sample likes/dislikes. Repertory grid was found to be a suitable method for children aged 8- years-old and above. It was also determined during the course of this thesis that children aged 8-years-old and older could successfully understand the concept of linear bipolar scales and could rank samples accordingly, both for their liking of the samples andfor the intensity of particular descriptive attributes using such scales.

description: This report provides an overview of the project background, the conceptual designs considered, justification of the preferred option and an in depth outline of the final detailed design. In response to the current high risk of flooding to the University of British Columbia (UBC) campus and surrounding residential and First Nations areas, the UBC Social Ecological Economic Development Studies (SEEDS) Sustainability Program has retained Team 10 for the design of a non-traditional, multi-use stormwater management system. A public outdoor learning space was chosen for its overall functionality and minimal maintenance and environmental impact to be the preferred design out of three conceptual designs. Included in this document is the technical analysis, including geotechnical, structural and hydrotechnical components,the framework for an environmental assessment and Indigenous engagement, a project management plan, and a review of stakeholder engagement. A geotechnical review of the site slope stability was completed with attention to the instability of the Point Grey Cliffs in order to determine safe limits for site excavation.This was also taken into account for the design of the structure’s four footings. SAP2000 was used for structural analysis of the outdoor learning space’s roof. A hydrological site analysis was conducted using past site evaluations as well as EPA SWMM to obtain a solid understanding of the current conditions and stormwater drainage system. EPA SWMM was used to determine the required water holding capacity in the case of 10 and 100 year storms. An outlet controlled orifice discharge concept was designed to meet the specified maximum discharge rate. Moving forward, a project management plan has been outlined in this report,consisting of construction phasing, and scheduling, a cost estimate and methodology as well as methods of stakeholder engagement. Disclaimer: “UBC SEEDS provides students with the opportunity to share the findings of their studies, as well as their opinions, conclusions and recommendations with the UBC community.

description: The integrated planting and breeding of paddy fields is a kind of eco-planting and breeding mode which makes rice and aquatic animals benefit from each other, greatly reducing the harm of rice pests and diseases, using less or even no fertilizers or pesticides, greatly reducing the agricultural non-point source pollution, thus achieving the “multiple use of water, multiple harvests in one field, grain and fishing win-win, ecological and high efficient use.” In this paper, the high yield and efficient cultivation techniques of rice under the rice-fish intergrowth model in Chengdu was introduced from the aspects of selecting good paddy fields for fishing, using appropriate rice varieties, soaking disinfection, timely sowing and nurturing strong seedlings, reasonable close planting, reasonable fertilization, scientific water management, scientific pest control and rice harvests.

description: We analyze high resolution spectra of a multi--cloud weak [defined as W_r(MgII) < 0.3 A] absorbing system along the line of sight to PG 1634+706. This system gives rise to a partial Lyman limit break and absorption in MgII, SiII, CII, SiIII, SiIV, CIV, and OVI. The lower ionization transitions arise in two kinematic subsystems with a separation of ~150 km/s. Each subsystem is resolved into several narrow components, having Doppler widths of 3-10 kms. For both subsystems, the OVI absorption arises in a separate higher ionization phase, in regions dominated by bulk motions in the range of 30-40 km/s. The two OVI absorption profiles are kinematically offset by ~50 km/s with respect to each of the two lower ionization subsystem. In the stronger subsystem, the SiIII absorption is strong with a distinctive, smooth profile shape and may partially arise in shock heated gas. Moreover, the kinematic substructure of SiIV traces that of the lower ionization MgII, but may be offset by ~3 km/s. Based upon photoionization models, constrained by the partial Lyman limit break, we infer a low metallicity of ~0.03 solar for the low ionization gas in both subsystems. The broader OVI phases have a somewhat higher metallicity, and they are consistent with photoionization; the profiles are not broad enough to imply production of OVI through collisional ionization. Various models, including outer disks, dwarf galaxies, and superwinds, are discussed to account for the phase structure, metallicity, and kinematics of this absorption system. We favor an interpretation in which the two subsystems are produced by condensed clouds far out in the opposite extremes of a multi-layer dwarf galaxy superwind.

description: We study the alignments of satellite galaxies, and their anisotropic distribution, with respect to location and orientation of their host central galaxy in MassiveBlack-II and IllustrisTNG simulations. We find that: the shape of the satellite system in halos of mass ($> 10^{13}h^{-1}M_{\odot}$) is well aligned with the shape of the central galaxy at $z=0.06$ with the mean alignment between the major axes being $\sim Δθ= 12^{\circ}$ when compared to a uniform random distribution; that satellite galaxies tend to be anisotropically distributed along the major axis of the central galaxy with a stronger alignment in halos of higher mass or luminosity; and that the satellite distribution is more anisotropic for central galaxies with lower star formation rate, which are spheroidal, and for red central galaxies.Radially we find that satellites tend to be distributed along the major axis of the shape of the stellar component of central galaxies at smaller scales and the dark matter component on larger scales. We find that the dependence of satellite anisotropy on central galaxy properties and the radial distance is similar in both the simulations with a larger amplitude in MassiveBlack-II. The orientation of satellite galaxies tends to point toward the location of the central galaxy at small scales and this correlation decreases with increasing distance, and the amplitude of satellite alignment is higher in high mass halos. However, the projected ellipticities do not exhibit a scale-dependent radial alignment, as has been seen in some observational measurements.

description: In order to prolong the supply period and increase the economic value of Toona sinensis, the protected cultivation of T. sinensis was carried out on mountainous slope to achieve stagger-season planting and the year round supply. The results showed that in late October to mid-November, the temperature was moderate (1-10℃) and suitable for the lifting of seedlings and temporary planting dormancy. The line spacing of rooted seedlings in greenhouse was （22-24） cm × （4-5） cm and planting density was 900 000-1 200 000 seedlings/ha. The line spacing of seedlings was (14-13) cm ×( 3-4 ) cm and planting density was 1 950 000-2 100 000 seedlings/ha. T. sinensis began to sprout at 8-10℃ and stretch at 10-12℃. When the temperature was stable at 14℃ or above, T. sinensis started bolting and emerging leaves. The terminal buds sprouted in 40-50 d for the T. sinensis planted in greenhouse with the day temperature of 15-22℃ and night temperature over 10℃; the terminal buds sprouted in about 15 d for those planted in the greenhouse with day temperature of 20-25℃and night temperature over 10℃. T. sinensis could be picked 3 times when planted in greenhouse, and the yield was about 24 720 kg/ha.

description: An artificial stock market is established based on multi-agent . Each agent has a limit memory of the history of stock price, and will choose an action according to his memory and trading strategy. The trading strategy of each agent evolves ceaselessly as a result of self-teaching mechanism. Simulation results exhibit that large events are frequent in the fluctuation of the stock price generated by the present model when compared with a normal process, and the price returns distribution is Lévy distribution in the central part followed by an approximately exponential truncation. In addition, by defining a variable to gauge the "evolvement complexity" of this system, we have found a phase cross-over from simple-phase to complex-phase along with the increase of the number of individuals, which may be a ubiquitous phenomenon in multifarious real-life systems.

description: Experimental results presented in this paper supports the hypothesis on quantum-like statistical behaviour of cognitive systems (at least human beings). Our quantum-like approach gives the possibility to represent mental states by Hilbert space vectors (complex amplitudes). Such a representation induces huge reduction of information about a mental state. We realize an approach that has no direct relation with reductionist quantum models and we are not interested in statistical behavior of micro systems forming the macro system of the brain. We describe only probabilistic features of cognitive measurements. Our quantum-like approach describes statistics of measurements of cognitive systems with the aim to ascertain if cognitive systems behave as quantum-like systems where here quantum-like cognitive behavior means that cognitive systems result to be very sensitive to changes of the context with regard to the complex of the mental conditions.

description: This report summarizes the distribution of Federal dollars in 1979 and assesses recent trends. Federal per capita funding remains unevenly divided among the regions; however, the advantage of the West and South may be moderating somewhat. The spread of some Federal programs into more rural counties may have helped reduce the nonmetro area funding deficit. Major differences remain in the way specific categories of programs are allocated. Nonmetro areas are behind urban areas in defense funding, but lead in community resources and agricultural programs. Poorer nonmetro counties are especially reliant on income security programs.

description: We present the discovery of the first L-type subdwarf, 2MASS J05325346+8246465. This object exhibits enhanced collision-induced H$_2$ absorption, resulting in blue NIR colors ($J-K_s = 0.26{\pm}0.16$). In addition, strong hydride bands in the red optical and NIR, weak TiO absorption, and an optical/J-band spectral morphology similar to the L7 DENIS 0205$-$1159AB imply a cool, metal-deficient atmosphere. We find that 2MASS 0532+8246 has both a high proper motion, $μ$ = 2$\farcs60\pm0\farcs$15 yr$^{-1}$, and a substantial radial velocity, $v_{rad} = -195{\pm}11$ km s$^{-1}$, and its probable proximity to the Sun (d = 10--30 pc) is consistent with halo membership. Comparison to subsolar-metallicity evolutionary models strongly suggests that 2MASS 0532+8246 is substellar, with a mass of 0.077 $\lesssim$ M $\lesssim$ 0.085 M$_{\sun}$ for ages 10--15 Gyr and metallicities $Z = 0.1-0.01$ $Z_{\sun}$. The discovery of this object clearly indicates that star formation occurred below the Hydrogen burning mass limit at early times, consistent with prior results indicating a flat or slightly rising mass function for the lowest-mass stellar subdwarfs. Furthermore, 2MASS 0532+8246 serves as a prototype for a new spectral class of subdwarfs, additional examples of which could be found in NIR proper motion surveys.

description: The spin 1/2 Heisenberg model on a square lattice with antiferromagnetic nearest- and next-nearest neighbour interactions (the $J_1$--$J_2$ model) has long been studied as a paradigm of a two-dimensional frustrated quantum magnet. Only very recently, however, have the first experimental realisations of such systems been synthesized. The newest material, Pb$_2$VO(PO$_4$)$_2$ seems to have mixed ferro-- and antiferromagnetic exchange couplings. In the light of this, we extend the semiclassical treatment of the $J_1$--$J_2$ model to include ferromagnetic interactions, and present an analysis of the finite temperature properties of the model based on the exact diagonalization of 8, 16 and 20 site clusters. We propose that diffuse neutron scattering can be used to resolve the ambiguity inherent in determining the ratio and sign of $J_1$ and $J_2$ from thermodynamic properties alone, and use a finite temperature Lanczos algorithm to make predictions for the relevant high temperature spin-spin correlation functions. The possibility of a spin-liquid phase occurring for ferromagnetic $J_1$ is also briefly discussed.

description: Farmers reported that 124.6 million pounds (a.i.) of pesticides were applied to soybeans in the major producing States during 1980. This consisted of 114.4 million pounds (a.i.) of herbicides, 8 million pounds (a.i.) of insecticides, 1.5 million pounds (a.i.) of nematicides, and 600,000 pounds (a.i.) of fungicides. Pesticide acre-treatments totaled 106.6 million and consisted of 95.5 million with herbicides, 9.3 million with insecticides, 600,000 with nematicides, and 1.2 million with fungicides. The primary herbicides were alachlor, bentazon, and trifluralin. The major insecticides were carbaryl, methomyl, and methyl parathion. Aldicarb and ethylene dibromide were the primary nematicides and benomyl was the major fungicide. Herbicides were applied primarily to control cocklebur, crabgrass, foxtail, and Johnsongrass infestations. Insecticides were mainly applied to control armyworm and corn earworm infestations. Leaf blight, pod and stem blight, and root rot were the major diseases controlled with fungicides. Coefficients of variation were computed for acres of soybeans treated with specific pesticide materials.

description: Deep learning has become a breathtaking technology in the last years, overcoming traditional handcrafted approaches and even humans for many different tasks. However, in some tasks, such as the verification of handwritten signatures, the amount of publicly available data is scarce, what makes difficult to test the real limits of deep learning. In addition to the lack of public data, it is not easy to evaluate the improvements of novel proposed approaches as different databases and experimental protocols are usually considered. The main contributions of this study are: i) we provide an in-depth analysis of state-of-the-art deep learning approaches for on-line signature verification, ii) we present and describe the new DeepSignDB on-line handwritten signature biometric public database, iii) we propose a standard experimental protocol and benchmark to be used for the research community in order to perform a fair comparison of novel approaches with the state of the art, and iv) we adapt and evaluate our recent deep learning approach named Time-Aligned Recurrent Neural Networks (TA-RNNs) for the task of on-line handwritten signature verification. This approach combines the potential of Dynamic Time Warping and Recurrent Neural Networks to train more robust systems against forgeries. Our proposed TA-RNN system outperforms the state of the art, achieving results even below 2.0% EER when considering skilled forgery impostors and just one training signature per user.
A new model for simulating colloidal dynamics

description: We present a new hybrid lattice-Boltzmann and Langevin molecular dynamics scheme for simulating the dynamics of suspensions of spherical colloidal particles. The solvent is modeled on the level of the lattice-Boltzmann method while the molecular dynamics is done for the solute. The coupling between the two is implemented through a frictional force acting both on the solvent and on the solute, which depends on the relative velocity. A spherical colloidal particle is represented by interaction sites at its surface. We demonstrate that this scheme quantitatively reproduces the translational and rotational diffusion of a neutral spherical particle in a liquid and show preliminary results for a charged spherical particle. We argue that this method is especially advantageous in the case of charged colloids.

description: Farmers reported that 49.3 million pounds (a.i.) of pesticides were applied to field corn in the Lake States during 1980. This consisted of 43.4 million pounds (a.i.) of herbicides and 5.9 million pounds (a.i.) of insecticides. Pesticide acre—treatments totaled 26.3 million and consisted of 16 million with single material herbicides, 4.7 million with herbicide mixes, and 5.6 million with insecticides. The primary herbicides were alachlor, atrazine, cyanazine, and 2,4—D. The major insecticides were carbofuran, fonofos, phorate, and terbufos. Herbicides were applied primarily to control cocklebur, foxtail, and quackgrass infestations. Most insecticides were applied for corn rootworm larvae control. Coefficients of variation were computed for acres of field corn treated with specific pesticide materials.

description: Recent studies by the UBC SEEDS Sustainability Program show that a 1 in 100-year storm event would cause overland flooding in the southern parts of UBC campus, with flows capable of severely damaging the delicate sandy cliffs above Wreck Beach. This report covers the design of a multipurpose stormwater management facility in south campus which will mitigate damaging storm event runoff while providing a useful and respectable space for students, faculty, and visitors to enjoy. The final design is a miniature golf and stormwater detainment facility, appealing to all ages as a space for fun outdoor activity while efficiently storing, cleaning, and carefully releasing all storm runoff in UBC’s south water catchment area. To align with UBC SEEDS sustainability goals, a facility has been designed to meet or exceed expectations in areas of multifunctionality, low-impact development, and cost. The facility includes three at-grade pools which serve as scenery during the summer and large collectors of potential flood water during seasons of high precipitation. Vegetation such as moss and reeds will aid in filtering all water that enters the system in this way. Supplementing the storage capacity of the pools is a large underground tank structure, with an oil and grits chamber to further clean the water and outlets designed to control the rate of flow back into the existing stormwater system. Disclaimer: “UBC SEEDS provides students with the opportunity to share the findings of their studies, as well as their opinions, conclusions and recommendations with the UBC community.

Inequalities faced by women in access to permanent positions in astronomy in France

description: We investigate inequalities in access to permanent positions in professional astronomy in France, focusing on the hiring stage. We use results from a national survey conducted on behalf of the French society of astronomy and astrophysics (SF2A) aimed at young astronomers holding a PhD obtained in France, and answered by over 300 researchers. We find that women are nearly two times less likely than men to be selected by the (national or local) committees attributing permanent positions ($p=0.06$). We also find that applicants who did their undergraduate studies in an elite school ("Grande École"), where women are largely under-represented, rather than in a university, are nearly three times more likely to succeed in obtaining a position ($p=0.0026$). Our analysis suggests the existence of two biases in committees attributing permanent positions in astronomy in France: a gender bias, and a form of elitism. These biases against women in their professional life impacts their personal life as our survey shows that a larger fraction of them declare that having children can have a negative effect on their careers. They are half as many as men having children in the sample. National committees (such as the CNRS) have acknowledged this issue for several years now, hence one can hope that changes will be seen in the next decade.

Shocks and Particle Acceleration in Supernova Remnants: Observational Features

Publisher: name: arXiv

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

description: The last ten years a number of observational advances have substantially increased our knowledge of shock phenomena in supernova remnants. This progress has mainly been made possible by the recent improvements in X-ray and Gamma-ray instrumentation. It has become clear that some shell-type supernova remnants, e.g. SN 1006, have X-ray emission dominated by synchrotron radiation, proving that electrons are accelerated up to 100 TeV. This is still an order of magnitude below 3E15 eV, at which energy the ion cosmic ray spectrum at earth shows a spectral break. So one of the major goals is to prove that supernova remnants are capable of accelerating ions at least up that energy. Here I review the evidence that ions and electrons are accelerated up to energies ~100 TeV in supernova remnants, and, in addition, the recent progress that has been made in understanding the physics of collisionless shock fronts and the magnetic fields inside supernova remnants.
