title: Elite role conceptions and Indonesia's leadership in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations

Subjects: subject: Indonesia
subject: ASEAN
subject: role theory
subject: leadership

description: Indonesia has claimed a regional leader position in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) ever since the organisation's establishment in 1967. In practice, however, Indonesia's behaviour in the organisation has varied and especially so since democratisation in 1998-99. Why does Indonesia's sometimes lead, sometimes follow, sometimes obstruct, and sometimes avoid in its engagements with ASEAN? There are two theoretical approaches to explaining Indonesia's foreign policy behaviour in ASEAN. Neither adequately explains this research puzzle. The dominant approach argues the drivers of Indonesian foreign policy are a sense of entitlement and a sense of weakness. This literature maintains that this outlook has remained consistent since Indonesia gained its independence, explaining stability and continuity, but is struggling to explain change and variation. The second body of scholarship points to ASEAN's institutional environment and the limitations it supposedly places on Indonesia's agency. This literature may explain why Indonesia's leadership in ASEAN is not consistently translated into practice. But it does not well explain why Indonesia spends diplomatic capital trying to lead on some issues but does not on others. In the absence of a good explanation for why Indonesia sometimes leads and sometimes does not, this thesis proposes a new theoretical framework. Drawing on role theory, it suggests that domestic level role interactions are the key to understanding variations in Indonesia's leadership in ASEAN. [...]

Ideals without ccc

description: Let I be an ideal of subsets of a Polish space X, containing all singletons and possessing a Borel basis. Assuming that I does not satisfy ccc, we consider the following conditions (B), (M) and (D). Condition (B) states that there is a disjoint family F subseteq P(X) of size c, consisting of Borel sets which are not in I. Condition (M) states that there is a function f:X-> X with f^{-1}[{x}] notin I for each x in X. Provided that X is a group and I is invariant, condition (D) states that there exist a Borel set B notin I and a perfect set P subseteq X for which the family {B+x: x in P} is disjoint. The aim of the paper is to study whether the reverse implications in the chain (D) => (M) => (B) => not-ccc can hold. We build a sigma-ideal on the Cantor group witnessing''(M) and not (D)'' (Section 2). A modified version of that sigma-ideal contains the whole space (Section 3). Some consistency results deriving (M) from (B) for''nicely'' defined ideals are established (Section 4). We show that both ccc and (M) can fail (Theorems 1.3 and 4.2). Finally, some sharp versions of (M) for invariant ideals on Polish groups are investigated (Section 5).
Study of Electron-Vibrational Interaction in Molecular Aggregates Using Mean-Field Theory: From Exciton Absorption and Luminescence to Exciton-Polariton Dispersion in Nanofibers

description: We have developed a model in order to account for electron-vibrational effects on absorption, luminescence of molecular aggregates and exciton-polaritons in nanofibers. The model generalizes the mean-field electron-vibrational theory developed by us earlier to the systems with spatial symmetry, exciton luminescence and the exciton-polaritons with spatial dispersion. The correspondence between manifestation of electron-vibrational interaction in monomers, molecular aggregates and exciton-polariton dispersion in nanofibers is obtained by introducing the aggregate line-shape functions in terms of the monomer line-shape functions. With the same description of material parameters we have calculated both the absorption and luminescence of molecular aggregates and the exciton-polariton dispersion in nanofibers. We apply the theory to experiment on fraction of a millimeter propagation of Frenkel exciton polaritons in photoexcited organic nanofibers made of thiacyanine dye.

description: End-to-end paradigm has aroused more and more interests and attention for improving speech-to-text translation (ST) recently. Existing end-to-end models mainly attributes and attempts to address the problem of modeling burden and data scarcity, while always fail to maintain both cross-modal and cross-lingual mapping well at the same time. 
In this work, we investigate methods for improving end-to-end ST with pre-trained acoustic-and-textual models. Our acoustic encoder and decoder begins with processing the source speech sequence as usual. A textual encoder and an adaptor module then obtain source acoustic and textual information respectively, alleviating the representation inconsistency with attentive interactions in the textual decoder. Also, we utilize pre-trained models, and develop an adaptation fine-tuning method to preserve the pre-training knowledge.
Experimental results on the IWSLT2023 offline ST task from English to German, Japanese and Chinese show that our method achieves state-of-the-art BLEU scores and surpasses the strong cascaded ST counterparts in unrestricted setting.

description: This article sheds new light on the problem of cosmological reduction in Loop Quantum Gravity. We critically analyze Quantum Reduced Loop Gravity -- an attempt to extract the cosmological sector of the full theory. We reconsider the reduction procedure applied to the states of the kinematical Hilbert space, developing a comparative analysis with previous efforts in the literature. We show that the constraints of the model were formerly instantiated in an inconsistent fashion, leading to an overconstrained dynamics and an ill-defined Hilbert space. We then scrutinize alternative implementations of symmetry-reduction. While remaining unaffected by the shortcomings encountered in Quantum Reduced Loop Gravity, these latter procedures bridge the gap between the full theory and former endeavors in Loop Quantum Cosmology.

description: We calculate a ΛΛpairing gap in binary mixed matter of nucleons and Λhyperons within the relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov model. Lambda hyperons to be paired up are immersed in background nucleons in a normal state. The gap is calculated with a one-boson-exchange interaction obtained from a relativistic Lagrangian. It is found that at background density ρ_{N}=2.5ρ_{0} the ΛΛpairing gap is very small, and that denser background makes it rapidly suppressed. This result suggests a mechanism, specific to mixed matter dealt with relativistic models, of its dependence on the nucleon density. An effect of weaker ΛΛattraction on the gap is also examined in connection with revised information of the ΛΛinteraction.

subject: Quality of life

description: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME) is chronic debilitating disorder of no known cause. It is characterised by chronic fatigue that is not due to ongoing exertion or due to another medical condition, and becomes markedly worse following minimal activity. The fatigue is further accompanied by a multitude of other symptoms affecting many body systems [1]. Patients suffer a substantial loss in quality of life, with severe disruption to daily activities. This disorder is heterogeneous in nature, with patients experiencing varied symptoms, at different severities, frequencies and duration. Patients also experience periods of relapse and remission [2]. The unknown aetiology and patho-mechanism has hindered the development of laboratory based diagnostic tools, thus diagnosis is solely based on symptom criteria. However, with the inconsistent presentation, no standardised diagnostic criteria have been established, and several criteria exist varying widely in the description of the illness [3, 4]. The lack of standardisation has resulted in CFS/ME becoming an umbrella term [5]. Patients who suffer from general chronic fatigue but do not meet the other criteria, or have fatigue as a result of an underlying condition, are often misdiagnosed with CFS/ME. Alternatively, those that may have CFS/ME are often misdiagnosed as another illness due to lack of recognition [6].

description: The discovery of new zeolite framework types plays an important role in producing new porous materials for applications such as adsorption, catalysis, separation, etc. RUB-11, a new all-silica zeolite with high density (2.11 g cm−3), was synthesised at 160 °C from reaction mixtures consisting of SiO2/ethylenediamine/H2O in a xenon atmosphere of 30 bar for a long reaction time (140 d). Physico-chemical characterisation using solid-state NMR spectroscopy, SEM, TG-DSC and ATR-FTIR spectroscopy confirmed that RUB-11 is a framework silicate. The atomic structure was solved by 3D electron diffraction using the fast-automated diffraction tomography method. The structure model of monoclinic symmetry with lattice parameters of a0 = 7.3929(5) Å, b0 = 7.3942(3) Å, c0 = 26.1786(13) Å and β = 98.372(7)° (space group: Pc) was refined against electron diffraction data (dynamical refinement) and powder diffraction data. An additional distance-least-squares refinement confirmed the feasibility of forming a stress-free silica framework of RUB-11 topology. The chemical composition of RUB-11 per unit cell is 30 SiO2. The framework silicate RUB-11 is structurally closely related to layer silicate magadiite and can be regarded as an interlayer expanded zeolite (IEZ) based on magadiite-type layers. Both materials contain topologically identical, dense layers, named [m with combining low line][a with combining low line][g with combining low line] layers. In the case of RUB-11, these layers are interconnected via additional silicon atoms leading to a complete framework with a 2-dimensional pore system consisting of intersecting 8-ring channels. The synthesis route leading to RUB-11 is in contrast to typical IEZs, which are obtained in a two-step process. According to the electron diffraction data and the XRD powder patterns, RUB-11 has a disordered structure. A detailed analysis revealed that two different types of disorder concerning the stacking of layer-like building units (consisting of [m with combining low line][a with combining low line][g with combining low line] layers plus interconnecting silicon atoms) contribute to the real structure of RUB-11. It is surprising that the channel-like pores of RUB-11 are completely empty when separated from the reaction mixture.

description: The role of automatic electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis in clinical practice is limited by the accuracy of existing models. Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are models composed of stacked transformations that learn tasks by examples. This technology has recently achieved striking success in a variety of task and there are great expectations on how it might improve clinical practice. Here we present a DNN model trained in a dataset with more than 2 million labeled exams analyzed by the Telehealth Network of Minas Gerais and collected under the scope of the CODE (Clinical Outcomes in Digital Electrocardiology) study. The DNN outperform cardiology resident medical doctors in recognizing 6 types of abnormalities in 12-lead ECG recordings, with F1 scores above 80% and specificity over 99%. These results indicate ECG analysis based on DNNs, previously studied in a single-lead setup, generalizes well to 12-lead exams, taking the technology closer to the standard clinical practice.

description: The Bayesian failure probability inference (BFPI) framework provides a well-established Bayesian approach to quantifying our epistemic uncertainty about the failure probability resulting from a limited number of performance function evaluations. However, it is still challenging to perform Bayesian active learning of the failure probability by taking advantage of the BFPI framework. In this work, three Bayesian active learning methods are proposed under the name ‘partially Bayesian active learning cubature’ (PBALC), based on a cleaver use of the BFPI framework for structural reliability analysis, especially when small failure probabilities are involved. Since the posterior variance of the failure probability is computationally expensive to evaluate, the underlying idea is to exploit only the posterior mean of the failure probability to design two critical components for Bayesian active learning, i.e., the stopping criterion and the learning function. On this basis, three sets of stopping criteria and learning functions are proposed, resulting in the three proposed methods PBALC1, PBALC2 and PBALC3. Furthermore, the analytically intractable integrals involved in the stopping criteria are properly addressed from a numerical point of view. Five numerical examples are studied to demonstrate the performance of the three proposed methods. It is found empirically that the proposed methods can assess very small failure probabilities and significantly outperform several existing methods in terms of accuracy and efficiency.

description: The fundamental construction underlying descent theory, the lax descent category, comes with a functor that forgets the descent data. We prove that, in any $2$-category $\mathfrak{A} $ with lax descent objects, the forgetful morphisms create all Kan extensions that are preserved by certain morphisms. As a consequence, in the case $\mathfrak{A} = \mathsf{Cat} $, we get a monadicity theorem which says that a right adjoint functor is monadic if and only if it is, up to the composition with an equivalence, (naturally isomorphic to) a functor that forgets descent data. In particular, within the classical context of descent theory, we show that, in a fibred category, the forgetful functor between the category of internal actions of a precategory $a$ and the category of internal actions of the underlying discrete precategory is monadic if and only if it has a left adjoint. More particularly, this shows that one of the implications of the celebrated Benabou-Roubaud theorem does not depend on the so called Beck-Chevalley condition. Namely, we prove that, in indexed categories, whenever an effective descent morphism induces a right adjoint functor, the induced functor is monadic.

description: We present a first-order stabilization-free virtual element method (VEM) for three-dimensional linear elastic problems in this paper. VEM has been increasingly used in various fields of engineering, but the need of stabilization yields a method that cannot be used without care, e.g. in nonlinear engineering applications. In this work, by increasing the order of the strain model, a new virtual element formulation is constructed for three-dimensional problems that does not require any stabilization term. The core concept involves adapting the virtual element space to enable the computation of a higher-order L2 projection operator, guaranteeing an accurate representation of the element energy in terms of strain and stress. This work describes the calculation process of the original H1 projection operator and the higher-order L2 projection operator for three-dimensional problems. Eigenvalue analysis allows to derive an approximate relation between the polynomial order and the number of element vertices. Some benchmark problems illustrate the capability of the stabilization-free VEM for three-dimensional linear elastic problems.

description: Okra, Abelmoschus esculentus L. (Moench), is a vegetable crop produced in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Both huge commercial farms and gardens can grow this crop well. Green, non-fibrous fruits or pods with round seeds are the reason okra is grown. The immature fruits are collected and consumed as vegetables. Okra stems and roots are used to clarify sugarcane juice, which is utilized to make brown sugar or gur (Chauhan, 1972). In certain nations, its ripe seeds are roasted, pulverized, and used as a replacement for coffee. In order to make paper, mature fruits and stems that contain crude fiber are utilized. An alternate source of edible oil is extracts from okra seeds. Unsaturated fats like oleic acid and linoleic acid are abundant in the greenish-yellow edible oil, which also has a good flavor and aroma. The seed has a 40% oil content, which is fairly significant. Okra is a valuable source of vitamins, calcium, potassium, and other minerals that are frequently missing in the diets of underdeveloped nations.
Asymptotics of Plancherel measures for symmetric groups

Subjects: subject: Combinatorics (math.CO)

description: We consider the asymptotics of the Plancherel measures on partitions of $n$ as $n$ goes to infinity. We prove that the local structure of a Plancherel typical partition (which we identify with a Young diagram) in the middle of the limit shape converges to a determinantal point process with the discrete sine kernel. On the edges of the limit shape, we prove that the joint distribution of suitably scaled 1st, 2nd, and so on rows of a Plancherel typical diagram converges to the corresponding distribution for eigenvalues of random Hermitian matrices (given by the Airy kernel). This proves a conjecture due to Baik, Deift, and Johansson by methods different from the Riemann-Hilbert techniques used in their original papers math.CO/9810105 and math.CO/9901118 and from the combinatorial approach proposed by Okounkov in math.CO/9903176. Our approach is based on an exact determinantal formula for the correlation functions of the poissonized Plancherel measures involving a new kernel on the 1-dimensional lattice. This kernel is expressed in terms of Bessel functions and we obtain it as a degeneration of the hypergeometric kernel from the paper math.RT/9904010 by Borodin and Olshanski. Our asymptotic analysis relies on the classical asymptotic formulas for the Bessel functions and depoissonization techniques.

description: This work presents a new constructive uniqueness proof for Calderón's inverse problem of electrical impedance tomography, subject to local Cauchy data, for a large class of piecewise constant conductivities that we call "piecewise constant layered conductivities" (PCLC). The resulting reconstruction method only relies on the physically intuitive monotonicity principles of the local Neumann-to-Dirichlet map, and therefore the method lends itself well to efficient numerical implementation and generalization to electrode models. Several direct reconstruction methods exist for the related problem of inclusion detection, however they share the property that "holes in inclusions" or "inclusions-within-inclusions" cannot be determined. One such method is the monotonicity method of Harrach, Seo, and Ullrich, and in fact the method presented here is a modified variant of the monotonicity method which overcomes this problem. More precisely, the presented method abuses that a PCLC type conductivity can be decomposed into nested layers of positive and/or negative perturbations that, layer-by-layer, can be determined via the monotonicity method. The conductivity values on each layer are found via basic one-dimensional optimization problems constrained by monotonicity relations.

Development and Application of pH-sensitive Fluorescent Probes to Study Synaptic Activity in the Brain

description: This thesis describes efforts at the interface of chemistry and neuroscience to design and characterize fluorescent probes capable of tracing neurotransmitters from individual release sites in brain tissue. As part of the Fluorescent False Neurotransmitters (FFNs) program, small organic fluorophores have been developed that undergo uptake into specific presynaptic release sites and synaptic vesicles by utilizing the native protein machinery, which can then be released during neuronal firing. The most advanced generation of FFNs are pH-sensitive, and display an increase in fluorescence when released from the acidic vesicular lumen into the extracellular space, called a “FFN Flash.” In Chapter 2, the utility of the dopamine-selective and pH-sensitive functionality of FFN102 to study the mechanisms that regulate changes in pre-synaptic plasticity, a critical component of neurotransmission was explored. This included using the FFN flash to quantitatively trace dopamine release, changes in the release probability of individual release sites, and changes in vesicular loading that can affect quantal size.
      	The second goal of this thesis research, as detailed in Chapters 3 and 4, sought to expand the substrate scope of the FFN program to neurotransmitter systems other than dopamine. Described in Chapter 3, is the identification of a fluorescent phenylpyridinium, APP+, with excellent labeling for dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin neurons, however, the properties of the probe were found to be ill-suited for measuring neurotransmitter release. As a result, it was concluded that this class of compounds was not suitable for generating viable FFN leads. In contrast, Chapter 4 highlights the design, synthesis, and screening towards generating the novel noradrenergic-specific FFN, FFN270. This probe was further tested for application in acute murine brain slices where it labeled noradrenergic neurons, and was demonstrated to release upon stimulation. This chapter also describes the application of this compound in a series of in vivo experiments, where the ability to measure norepinephrine release from individual release sites was demonstrated in a living animal for the first time. This work opens the possibility for many exciting future FFN experiments studying the presynaptic regulation of neurotransmission in vivo.

The technique combines a non-contact laser scanning geometry, similar to a low magnification confocal microscope, with the imaging principles of diffuse optical tomography (DOT). This thesis describes the development and application of a second generation LOT system, which acquires both fluorescence and multi-wavelength measurements simultaneously and is better suited for in vivo measurements. Chapter 1 begins by reviewing the interactions of light with tissue that form the foundation of optical imaging. A range of related optical imaging techniques and the basic principles of LOT imaging are then described. In Chapter 2, the development of the new LOT imaging system is described including the implementation of a series of interfaces to allow clinical imaging. System performance is then evaluated on a range of imaging phantoms. Chapter 3 describes two in vivo imaging applications explored using the second generation LOT system, first in a clinical setting where skin lesions were imaged, and then in a laboratory setting where LOT imaging was performed on exposed rat cortex. The final chapter provides a brief summary and describes future directions for LOT. LOT has the potential to find applications in medical diagnostics, surgical guidance, and in-situ monitoring owing to its sensitivity to absorption and fluorescence contrast as well as its ability to provide depth sensitive measures. Optical techniques can characterize blood volume and oxygenation, two important biological parameters, through measurements at different wavelengths. Fluorescence measurements, either from autofluorescence or fluorescent dyes, have shown promise for identifying and analyzing lesions in various epithelial tissues including skin [2, 3], colon [4], esophagus [5, 6], oral mucosa [7, 8], and cervix [9]. The desire to capture these types of measurements with LOT motivated much of the work presented here.
title: Immediate Effect of Exercise on Mechanical and Morphological Properties of the Human Achilles Tendon in Vivo
Creators: name: Obst, Steven John
Publisher: name: Griffith University
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Achilles tendon
subject: Exercise and the achilles tendon

description: The Achilles tendon is the strongest, yet most commonly injured tendon in the human body. Repeated or sustained loading of the Achilles tendon during exercise could induce transient changes in gross mechanical and morphological properties that impact on muscle-tendon performance and tissue homeostasis, and may therefore be important in the context of tendon injury and adaptation. Characterising the immediate effect of commonly performed exercise routines on these properties would broaden our understanding of exercise-induced tendon adaptation and lead to more targeted exercise interventions. The aim of this thesis was to use freehand three-dimensional ultrasound to investigate the mechanical and morphological properties of the human Achilles tendon complex in healthy young adults and characterise the change in these properties immediately after eccentric exercise.

description: Self-Consistent Quasi-Particle RPA (SCQRPA) is for the first time applied to a more level pairing case. Various filling situations and values for the coupling constant are considered. Very encouraging results in comparison with the exact solution of the model are obtained. The nature of the low lying mode in SCQRPA is identified. The strong reduction of the number fluctuation in SCQRPA vs BCS is pointed out. The transition from superfluidity to the normal fluid case is carefully investigated.

description: We present a machine learning (ML) based method for automated detection of Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) candidate events in the range 60 keV - 250 keV from the AstroSat Cadmium Zinc Telluride Imager data. We use density-based spatial clustering to detect excess power and carry out an unsupervised hierarchical clustering across all such events to identify the different light curves present in the data. This representation helps understand the instrument's sensitivity to the various GRB populations and identify the major non-astrophysical noise artefacts present in the data. We use Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) to carry out template matching, which ensures the morphological similarity of the detected events with known typical GRB light curves. DTW alleviates the need for a dense template repository often required in matched filtering like searches. The use of a similarity metric facilitates outlier detection suitable for capturing previously unmodelled events. We briefly discuss the characteristics of 35 long GRB candidates detected using the pipeline and show that with minor modifications such as adaptive binning, the method is also sensitive to short GRB events. Augmenting the existing data analysis pipeline with such ML capabilities alleviates the need for extensive manual inspection, enabling quicker response to alerts received from other observatories such as the gravitational-wave detectors.

description: This study investigates scour around offshore wind foundations, focusing on two complex structures with varying degrees of flow blockage: a novel hybrid gravity-based jacket (structure “A") and a conventional four-legged jacket (structure “B"). As offshore structures like jackets become more prevalent, mainly due to their structural stability and growth of offshore wind energy in general, understanding scouring phenomena around complex structures is crucial. Laboratory tests under steady flow clear-water and live-bed conditions, with measurements of 3D laser scans for test durations of 15, 90, and 420 min were conducted. In addition the scour development over time was measured and analyzed with eight echo sounders. The findings confirm that scouring around complex structures displays significant variability in dependency of the structure type, making standardization a challenging task. However, some common trends can be derived. Under live-bed conditions, both types of structures exhibit global erosion, regardless of the complexity or flow obstruction of the structure. The spatial erosion depth, relative to the footprint, is markedly higher (2.5 times) for the gravity-based structure as opposed to the jacket structure. In clear-water conditions, no global scour was observed for both structures and a very similar spatial erosion depth was reached after 420 min.

description: Apple replant disease (ARD) is a globally recognised soil-borne disease, which affects apple orchards and tree nurseries. Biotic factors are considered to be the main causal agent of ARD. Phenolics and phytoalexins were induced in apple roots grown in ARD soil compared to roots grown in disinfested ARD soil. However, the relationship between ARD susceptibility and production of phenolics and phytoalexins in apple roots is still unclear. To answer this question, we cultivated seven Malus genotypes with varying levels of ARD susceptibility (M.26, EMR 2, M.200, G.214, G.935, Selection 4, and MAL0739) in both ARD soil from Heidgraben, Germany, and the same soil after disinfestation by gamma-irradiation (γ-ARD). Despite the overall growth reduction observed for all seven genotypes, three of them, EMR 2, G.935 and MAL0739, showed better performance, as indicated by the ARD susceptibility index (ASI) and differences in their root structure. Phenolics and phytoalexins were differentially induced in the roots grown for four weeks (T4) and eight weeks (T8) in ARD soil compared to γ-ARD soil. Moreover, differences in the total phenolics content (TPC) and the total phytoalexin content among the evaluated Malus genotypes were observed. The biochemical data from the early time point (T4) separated Malus genotypes more effectively compared to that from the late time point (T8). Among the six ARD-induced phytoalexins, 3-hydroxy-5-methoxybiphenyl at T4 can serve as an early biomarker for ARD. Although TPC and total phytoalexin content of the Malus genotypes exhibited no or weak correlation with root and shoot growth reduction, some individual phenolics and phytoalexins showed higher coefficients, suggesting that they might influence the ARD susceptibility of apple rootstocks.

description: Quantitative characterization of galaxy morphology is vital in enabling comparison of observations to predictions from galaxy formation theory. However, without significant overlap between the observational footprints of deep and shallow galaxy surveys, the extent to which structural measurements for large galaxy samples are robust to image quality (e.g., depth, spatial resolution) cannot be established. Deep images from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Stripe 82 co-adds provide a unique solution to this problem - offering $1.6-1.8$ magnitudes improvement in depth with respect to SDSS Legacy images. Having similar spatial resolution to Legacy, the co-adds make it possible to examine the sensitivity of parametric morphologies to depth alone. Using the Gim2D surface-brightness decomposition software, we provide public morphology catalogs for 16,908 galaxies in the Stripe 82 $ugriz$ co-adds. Our methods and selection are completely consistent with the Simard et al. (2011) and Mendel et al. (2014) photometric decompositions. We rigorously compare measurements in the deep and shallow images. We find no systematics in total magnitudes and sizes except for faint galaxies in the $u$-band and the brightest galaxies in each band. However, characterization of bulge-to-total fractions is significantly improved in the deep images. Furthermore, statistics used to determine whether single-Sérsic or two-component (e.g., bulge+disc) models are required become more bimodal in the deep images. Lastly, we show that asymmetries are enhanced in the deep images and that the enhancement is positively correlated with the asymmetries measured in Legacy images.
