description: We present experimental measurements of photodesorption from ices of astrophysical relevance. Layers of benzene and water ice were irradiated with a laser tuned to an electronic transition in the benzene molecule. The translational energy of desorbed molecules was measured by time-of-flight (ToF) mass spectrometry. Three distinct photodesorption processes were identified - a direct adsorbate-mediated desorption producing benzene molecules with a translational temperature of around 1200 K, an indirect adsorbate-mediated desorption resulting in water molecules with a translational temperature of around 450 K, and a substrate-mediated desorption of both benzene and water producing molecules with translational temperatures of around 530 K and 450 K respectively. The translational temperature of each population of desorbed molecules is well above the temperature of the ice matrix. The implications for gas-phase chemistry in the interstellar medium are discussed.

description: With modern technology development, functional data are being observed frequently in many scientific fields. A popular method for analyzing such functional data is ``smoothing first, then estimation.'' That is, statistical inference such as estimation and hypothesis testing about functional data is conducted based on the substitution of the underlying individual functions by their reconstructions obtained by one smoothing technique or another. However, little is known about this substitution effect on functional data analysis. In this paper this problem is investigated when the local polynomial kernel (LPK) smoothing technique is used for individual function reconstructions. We find that under some mild conditions, the substitution effect can be ignored asymptotically. Based on this, we construct LPK reconstruction-based estimators for the mean, covariance and noise variance functions of a functional data set and derive their asymptotics. We also propose a GCV rule for selecting good bandwidths for the LPK reconstructions. When the mean function also depends on some time-independent covariates, we consider a functional linear model where the mean function is linearly related to the covariates but the covariate effects are functions of time. The LPK reconstruction-based estimators for the covariate effects and the covariance function are also constructed and their asymptotics are derived. Moreover, we propose a $L^2$-norm-based global test statistic for a general hypothesis testing problem about the covariate effects and derive its asymptotic random expression. The effect of the bandwidths selected by the proposed GCV rule on the accuracy of the LPK reconstructions and the mean function estimator is investigated via a simulation study. The proposed methodologies are illustrated via an application to a real functional data set collected in climatology.

Re-Imagining Threat Overestimation as a Rational Response or: How the United States Learned to Start Worrying and Fear the Bomb

description: In the aftermath of September 11th, policymakers, pundits, and international relations scholars alike all deemed nuclear terrorism a top security threat to the United States, with some even predicting that a nuclear terrorist attack was inevitable. In the two decades since the Twin Towers fell, however, the United States has not experienced such an attack. This generates an important question: Why did the United States misconstrue the threat of nuclear terrorism in the aftermath of 9/11 as greater than it has proven to be? This project proposes a three-fold theory to answer this question, arguing that decision makers exaggerated the threat on account of the shock of 9/11, a poor understanding of terrorists’ intentions and capabilities, and the existential nature of the threat. Ultimately, U.S. decision makers did not willfully manipulate or inflate the nuclear terrorist threat in the aftermath of September 11th, but rather, overestimated the threat for valid strategic reasons given the uncertainty of the international system.

description: We have performed a timing and spectral analysis of the X-ray pulsar SWIFT J1626.6-5156 during a major X-ray outburst in order to unveil its nature and investigate its flaring activity. Epoch- and pulse-folding techniques were used to derive the spin period. Time-average and pulse-phase spectroscopy were employed to study the spectral variability in the flare and out-of-flare states and energy variations with pulse phase. Power spectra were obtained to investigate the periodic and aperiodic variability. Two large flares, with a duration of ~450 seconds were observed on 24 and 25 December 2005. During the flares, the X-ray intensity increased by a factor of 3.5, while the peak-to-peak pulsed amplitude increased from 45% to 70%. A third, smaller flare of duration ~180 s was observed on 27 December 2005. The flares seen in SWIFT J1626.6-5156 constitute the shortest events of this kind ever reported in a high-mass X-ray binary. In addition to the flaring activity, strong X-ray pulsations with Pspin=15.3714+-0.0003 s characterise the X-ray emission in SWIFT J1626.6-5156. After the major outburst, the light curve exhibits strong long-term variations modulated with a 45-day period. We relate this modulation to the orbital period of the system or to a harmonic. Power density spectra show, in addition to the harmonic components of the pulsation, strong band-limited noise with an integrated 0.01-100 Hz fractional rms of around 40% that increased to 64% during the flares. A weak QPO (fractional rms 4.7%) with characteristic frequency of 1 Hz was detected in the non-flare emission. The timing (short X-ray pulsations, long orbital period) and spectral (power-law with cut off energy and neutral iron line) properties of SWIFT J1626.6-5156 are characteristic of Be/X-ray binaries.
Massive Molecular Gas as a Fuel Tank for Active Galactic Nuclei Feedback in Central Cluster Galaxies

description: Massive molecular gas has been discovered in giant elliptical galaxies at the centers of galaxy clusters. To reveal its role in active galactic nucleus (AGN) feedback in those galaxies, we construct a semianalytical model of gas circulation. This model especially focuses on the massive molecular gas (interstellar cold gas on a scale of ~ 10 kpc) and the circumnuclear disk (~< 0.5 kpc). We consider the destruction of the interstellar cold gas by star formation and the gravitational instability for the circumnuclear disk. Our model can reproduce the basic properties of the interstellar cold gas and the circumnuclear disk, such as their masses. We also find that the circumnuclear disk tends to stay at the boundary between stable and unstable states. This works as an 'adjusting valve' that regulates mass accretion toward the supermassive black hole. On the other hand, the interstellar cold gas serves as a 'fuel tank' in the AGN feedback. Even if the cooling of the galactic hot gas is prevented, the interstellar cold gas can sustain the AGN activity for ~> 0.5 Gyr. We also confirm that the small entropy of the hot gas (~< 30 keV cm^2) or the short cooling time (~< 1 Gyr) is a critical condition for the existence of the massive amounts of molecular gas in the galaxy. The dissipation time of the interstellar cold gas may be related to the critical cooling time. The galaxy behavior is described by a simple relation among the disk stability, the cloud dissipation time, and the gas cooling rate.

Regular homogeneous T-models with vacuum dark fluid

Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: We present the class of regular homogeneous T-models with vacuum dark fluid, associated with a variable cosmological term. The vacuum fluid is defined by the symmetry of its stress-energy tensor, i.e., its invariance under Lorentz boosts in a distinguished spatial direction (p_j=-ρ), which makes this fluid essentially anisotropic and allows its density to evolve. Typical features of homogeneous regular T-models are: the existence of a Killing horizon; beginning of the cosmological evolution from a null bang at the horizon; the existence of a regular static pre-bang region visible to cosmological observers; creation of matter from anisotropic vacuum, accompanied by very rapid isotropization. We study in detail the spherically symmetric regular T-models on the basis of a general exact solution for a mixture of the vacuum fluid and dustlike matter and apply it to give numerical estimates for a particular model which illustrates the ability of cosmological T-models to satisfy the observational constraints.

description: We overcome the diffraction limit in fluorescence imaging of neutral atoms in a sparsely filled one-dimensional optical lattice. At a periodicity of 433 nm, we reliably infer the separation of two atoms down to nearest neighbors. We observe light induced losses of atoms occupying the same lattice site, while for atoms in adjacent lattice sites, no losses due to light induced interactions occur. Our method points towards characterization of correlated quantum states in optical lattice systems with filling factors of up to one atom per lattice site.

description: We give a descriptive review of the Fermionic basis approach to the theory of correlation functions of the XXZ quantum spin chain. The emphasis is on explicit formulae for short-range correlation functions which will be presented in a way that allows for their direct implementation on a computer. Within the Fermionic basis approach a huge class of stationary reduced density matrices, compatible with the integrable structure of the model, assumes a factorized form. This means that all expectation values of local operators and all two-point functions, in particular, can be represented as multivariate polynomials in only two functions $ρ$ and $ω$ and their derivatives with coefficients that are rational in the deformation parameter $q$ of the model. These coefficients are of `algebraic origin'. They do not depend on the choice of the density matrix, which only impacts the form of $ρ$ and $ω$. As an example we work out in detail the case of the grand canonical ensemble at temperature $T$ and magnetic field $h$ for $q$ in the critical regime. We compare our exact results for the fourth-neighbour two-point functions with asymptotic formulae for $h, T = 0$ and for finite $h$ and $T$.

description: We derive generalized Luscher formulas for finite size corrections in a theory with a general dispersion relation. For the AdS_5xS^5 superstring these formulas encode leading wrapping interaction effects. We apply the generalized mu-term formula to calculate finite size corrections to the dispersion relation of the giant magnon at strong coupling. The result exactly agrees with the classical string computation of Arutyunov, Frolov and Zamaklar. The agreement involved a Borel resummation of all even loop-orders of the BES/BHL dressing factor thus providing a strong consistency check for the choice of the dressing factor.

description: We summarise the results of a study performed within the GENIE global analysis framework, revisiting the GENIE bare-nucleon cross-section tuning and, in particular, the tuning of a) the inclusive cross-section, b) the cross-section of low-multiplicity inelastic channels (single-pion and double-pion production), and c) the relative contributions of resonance and non-resonance processes to these final states. The same analysis was performed with several different comprehensive cross-section model sets available in GENIE Generator v3. In this work we performed a careful investigation of the observed tensions between exclusive and inclusive data, and installed analysis improvements to handle systematics in historic data. All tuned model configurations discussed in this paper are available through public releases of the GENIE Generator. With this paper we aim to support the consumers of these physics tunes by providing comprehensive summaries of our alternate model constructions, of the relevant datasets and their systematics, and of our tuning procedure and results.

description: A bioinformatic search of the genomes of chestnut blight fungus, Cryphonectria parasitica (Cp), and the Arabidopsis powdery mildew fungus, Golovinomyces cichoracearum (Gc), yielded six suspected pathogenicity genes with homologues in both species. Deletion of these genes by homologous gene replacement was attempted in Cp, with one success, TG4. The TG4-knockout strain showed changes in phenotype and reduced fungal virulence against chestnut. TG4 appears to be a promising target for host-induced gene silencing (HIGS) in transgenic American chestnut. The use of homologues from genetically tractable species like Cp can help overcome the obstacles to performing reverse genetics on intractable, biotrophic fungi such as Gc. Experiments underway involving the silencing and ectopic overexpression of the Gc homologues of the target genes provide a rapid method to study Cp genes, including to screen additional candidate genes as future targets for HIGS.

description: The close location of the HAWC observatory to the largest volcano in Mexico allows to perform a search for neutrino-induced horizontal muon and tau charged leptons. The section of the volcano located at the horizon reaches values of slant depth larger than 8 km of rock, making it an excellent shield for the cosmic ray horizontal background. We report the search method and background suppression technique developed for the detection of Earth-skimming neutrinos with HAWC, as well as a model that describes the remaining background produced by scattered muons. We show that by increasing the detection energy threshold we could use HAWC to search for neutrino-induced charged leptons.

description: We have considered the holographic large $N_c$ QCD model proposed by Sakai and Sugimoto and evaluated the non-Abelian DBI-action on the D8-brane upto $(α')^4$ terms. Restricting to the pion sector, these corrections give rise to four derivative contact terms for the pion field. We derive the Weinberg's phenemenological lagrangian. The coefficients of the four derivative terms are determined in terms of $g_{YM}^2$. The low energy pion-pion scattering amplitudes are evaluated. Numerical results are presented with the choice of $M_{KK}=0.94 GeV$ and $N_c=11$. The results are compared with the amplitudes calculated using the experimental phase shifts. The agreement with the experimental data is found to be satisfactory.

description: A maximally rotating Kerr black hole is said to be extremal. In this paper we introduce the corresponding restrictions for isolated and dynamical horizons. These reduce to the standard notions for Kerr but in general do not require the horizon to be either stationary or rotationally symmetric. We consider physical implications and applications of these results. In particular we introduce a parameter e which characterizes how close a horizon is to extremality and should be calculable in numerical simulations.

ORGANIZATION OF LEARNER-TEACHER PEDAGOGICAL RELATIONSHIPS IN THE FRAMEWORK OF INCLUSIVE EDUCATION
Creators: name: Reshma Tabassum Abdul Karim Syed
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Nowadays at the process of globalization the system of value orientations and educational traditions are undergoing noteworthy modifications represented in the Concept of Inclusive Education Development (2010) in Ukraine. The research demonstrates the conception of organization of pedagogical relationships of the participants of art-therapeutic process as a component of inclusive education. The problem of the investigation defined the choice of the empirical research methods such as observation, interview, testing, study of the products of the activities of the subjects, study, and generalization of pedagogical experience. As a framework for the research it was used the model of five different aspects of the therapeutic relationship described by Clarkson (1995). One of the most significant finding to emerge from the study is that inclusive education is much wider than the opportunity for everybody to visit neighbourhood schools, deeper than deletion of distinctions between "general education" and "special education" programs. Findings of this study suggest that elements of art therapy should become an integral part of work with both the disabled and displaced (refugees or immigrants) students. The results allow singling out some means for the modern teacher to organize pedagogical relationships as a dialogue of the equal partners in the art-therapy-oriented education process. Application of Role-play‖ refers here to the special technique used at the art-oriented activity for studying interpersonal behavior of the participants. This promoted a better understanding between participants, empathy, and frankness that removed psychological and emotional barriers in their verbal and non-verbal communication, and stimulated the process of self-actualization.
The structural, thermodynamic and dielectric properties of electrolyte solutions : a theoretical study
Creators: name: Kusalik, Peter Gerard
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: In traditional theories for electrolyte solutions the solvent is treated only as a dielectric continuum. A more complete theoretical picture of electrolyte solutions can be obtained by including the solvent as a true molecular species. In this thesis we report results for the structural, thermodynamic, and dielectric properties of model electrolyte solutions which explicitly include a water-like molecular solvent. The ions are modelled simply as charged hard spheres and only univalent ions are considered. The water-like solvent is also treated as a hard sphere into which the low-order multipole moments and polarizability tensor of water are included. The reference hypernetted-chain theory is used to study the model systems. The formalism of Kirkwood and Buff is employed to obtain general expressions relating the microscopic correlation functions and the thermodynamic properties of electrolyte solutions without restricting the nature of the solvent. The low concentration limiting behaviour of these expressions is examined and compared with the macroscopic results determined through Debye-Hückel theory. The influence of solvent polarizability is examined at two theoretical levels. The more detailed approach, the R-dependent mean field theory, allows us to consider the average local electric field experienced by a solvent particle as a function of its separation from an ion and is shown to have an effect upon the limiting laws of some thermodynamic properties. Model systems for liquid water are investigated over a large range of temperatures and pressures and are found to have dielectric constants which agree reasonably well with experiment. Model aqueous electrolyte solutions are studied both at infinite dilution and at finite concentration, but only at 25°C. The equilibrium dielectric constants of these solutions are qualitatively consistent with those of experiment. A remarkable diversity of behaviour is obtained for our model solutions by simply varying the hard-sphere diameters of the ions. In many cases the behaviour observed for thermodynamic quantities is in accord with experiment. The ion-ion, ion-solvent and solvent-solvent correlation functions of the solutions are examined in detail, revealing a wealth of structural information. Ionic solvation is generally found to be very sensitive to the details of the interactions within the system.

description: Energy-sum and angular correlation spectra of $e^+e^-$ pairs produced in the $^{3}$H(p,$γ$)$^{4}$He nuclear reaction have been studied at $E_p$=510, 610 and 900 keV proton energies. The main features of the spectra can be understood by taking into account the internal and external pair creations following the direct proton radiative capture by $^{3}$H. However, these processes cannot account for the observed peak around 115$^\circ$ in the angular correlation spectra. This anomalous excess of $e^+e^-$ pairs can be described by the creation and subsequent decay of a light particle during the direct capture process. The derived mass of the particle is $m_\mathrm{X}c^2$=16.94$\pm0.12 (stat) \pm 0.21 (syst)$~MeV. According to the mass and branching ratio ($B_x=5.1(13)\times10^{-6}$), this is likely the same X17 particle, which we recently suggested [Phys. Rev. Lett. 116, 052501 (2016)] for describing the anomaly observed in the decay of $^8$Be.

description: The identification of the first confirmed neutron star - black hole (NS-BH) binary mergers by the LIGO, Virgo and KAGRA collaboration provides the opportunity to investigate the properties of the early sample of confirmed and candidate events. Here, we focus primarily on the tilt angle of the black hole's spin relative to the orbital angular momentum vector of the binary, and the implications for the physical processes that determine this tilt. The posterior tilt distributions of GW200115 and the candidate events GW190426_152155 and GW190917_114630 peak at significantly anti-aligned orientations (though display wide distributions). Producing these tilts through isolated binary evolution would require stronger natal kicks than are typically considered (and preferentially-polar kicks would be ruled out), and/or an additional source of tilt such as stable mass transfer. The early sample of NS-BH events are less massive than expected for classical formation channels, and may provide evidence for efficient mass transfer that results in the merger of more massive NS-BH binaries before their evolution to the compact phase is complete. We predict that future gravitational-wave detections of NS-BH events will continue to display total binary masses of $\approx 7$ M$_{\odot}$ and mass ratios of $q \sim 3$ if this interpretation is correct. Conversely, the high mass of the candidate GW191219_163120 suggests a dynamical capture origin. Large tilts in a significant fraction of merging NS-BH systems would weaken the prospects for electromagnetic detection. However, EM observations, including non-detections, can significantly tighten the constraints on spin and mass ratio.

description: Network security is vital to protect against unauthorized access, data breaches and malicious attacks. Authentication, encryption, network segmentation, monitoring, regular updates, physical security and user education are critical elements of a comprehensive WLAN security strategy. By implementing these measures, organizations can create a secure wireless environment that protects sensitive data, ensures network integrity, and promotes secure and reliable wireless connectivity. User awareness and education are key elements of WLAN security. Users should be educated about the risks associated with wireless networks, such as the importance of avoiding unsecure networks and being cautious when exchanging sensitive information over a wireless LAN. By promoting safe browsing habits, intensive training on attacks and providing guidelines for safe network use, organizations can raise awareness among users to actively contribute to network security

Software Compensation of Undesirable Racking Motion of H-frame 3D Printers using Filtered B-Splines

description: The H-frame (also known as H-Bot) architecture is a simple and elegant two-axis parallel positioning system used to construct the XY stage of 3D printers. It holds potential for high speed and excellent dynamic performance due to the use of frame-mounted motors that reduce the moving mass of the printer while allowing for the use of (heavy) higher torque motors. However, the H-frame's dynamic accuracy is limited during high-acceleration and high-speed motion due to racking -- i.e., parasitic torsional motions of the printer's gantry due to a force couple. Mechanical solutions to the racking problem are either costly or detract from the simplicity of the H-frame. In this paper, we introduce a feedforward software compensation algorithm, based on the filtered B-splines (FBS) method, that rectifies errors due to racking. The FBS approach expresses the motion command to the machine as a linear combination of B-splines. The B-splines are filtered through an identified model of the machine dynamics and the control points of the B-spline based motion command are optimized such that the tracking error is minimized. To compensate racking using the FBS algorithm, an accurate frequency response function of the racking motion is obtained and coupled to the H-frame's x- and y-axis dynamics with a kinematic model. The result is a coupled linear parameter varying model of the H-frame that is utilized in the FBS framework to compensate racking. An approximation of the proposed racking compensation algorithm, that decouples the x- and y-axis compensation, is developed to significantly improve its computational efficiency with almost no loss of compensation accuracy. Experiments on an H-frame 3D printer demonstrate a 43 percent improvement in the shape accuracy of a printed part using the proposed algorithm compared to the standard FBS approach without racking compensation.

description: Previous work has studied parental verbal communication and found differences based on child gender. The current study was designed to better understand any differences in maternal nonverbal communication based on child gender. The nonverbal parameters analyzed were eye contact/joint attention, gestures, positive and negative facial expressions, and open and closed body language. Previously recorded mother-child play sessions when the children were 7 months (n=103) and 24 months (n=73) were coded to assess three main questions: a) Does maternal nonverbal communication differ with child gender? b) Does maternal nonverbal communication change over time? c) Does maternal nonverbal communication effect vocabulary outcomes at 24 months? Mothers used more positive facial expressions with girls at 7 months and more gestures with boys at 24 months. Mothers were consistent in their use of positive facial expressions and gestures over time. Finally, there was no apparent relationship between maternal nonverbal communication and vocabulary.

VERIFICATION TESTS OF MASS CONSERVATION FOR FIREFOAM AND DEVELOPMENT OF A USER'S GUIDE

description: The objective of this study is to develop basic verification tests for FireFOAM, a large eddy simulation (LES) solver developed by FM Global for fire applications, and based on the general-purpose Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) solver called OpenFOAM. These tests will be eventually included in an upcoming User Guide for FireFOAM users. We focus here on a series of tests developed to evaluate global species mass conservation statements. The series includes a two-dimensional helium plume case, a three-dimensional helium plume case and a three-dimensional pool fire case. The two-dimensional helium plume case focuses on the effects of changing the temporal discretization scheme in FireFOAM. The three-dimensional helium plume case focuses on the effects of changing the spatial discretization scheme used to describe the convection terms in the governing equations. Finally, the three-dimensional pool fire case focuses on the effects of changing the number of outer loops used to provide coupling between the governing equations that are solved sequentially. The results of the tests provide valuable insight for FireFOAM users who need to make numerical choices on the temporal discretization scheme, the spatial discretization scheme and the number of outer loops with little guidance on the impact of these choices.
Constraints on self-interacting Bose-Einstein condensate dark matter using large-scale observables

description: Constraints on the cosmic history of self-interacting Bose-Einstein condensed (SIBEC) dark matter (DM) are obtained using the cosmic microwave background (CMB), baryonic acoustic oscillations (BAO), growth factor measurements, and type Ia supernovae (SNIa) distances. Four scenarios are considered, one with purely SIBEC-DM, and three in which SIBEC-DM is the final product of some transition from different initial states, which are either cold, warm, or has a constant equation of state. Using a fluid approximation for the self-interacting scalar field it is found that in the simplest scenario of purely SIBEC-DM the self-interaction necessary for solving the cusp-core problem, with core-radii of low-mass halos of order $R_c\gtrsim 1\text{kpc}$, is excluded at $2.4σ$, or $98.5\%$ confidence. Introducing a transition, however, relaxes this constraint, but the transitions are preferred to be after matter-radiation equality, and the initial phase to be cold.

description: Spin Hamiltonians with degenerate ground states are one potential system for the storage of quantum information at low temperatures. Trapped ions can be used to simulate the dynamics of these Hamiltonians, but the coherence-preserving properties will be lost. This illustrates that a quantum simulation performed in an interaction frame will not thermalize with its environment.

description: Family Leucosiidae Samouelle, 1819   Remarks. The family is rather diverse, embracing nearly 500 extant species and more than 100 species known exclusively as fossils (Ng et al. 2008; De Grave et al. 2009; Schweitzer et al. 2010). There are at least nine extinct genera with unknown affinities to extant taxa not assigned to a particular subfamily. Most of them were erected well before the major revisions of extant leucosiid crabs published in the last 15 years (e.g. Galil 2001a, b, 2003a, b, 2005a, b, 2006a, b, 2009), and hence the fossil record of leucosiid crabs is in a need of re-evaluation in light of the current state of research.

description: From a macroscopic theory of the quantum vacuum in terms of conserved relativistic charges (generically denoted by q^{(a)} with label a), we have obtained, in the low-energy limit, a particular type of f(R) model relevant to cosmology. The macroscopic quantum-vacuum theory allows us to distinguish between different phenomenological f(R) models on physical grounds.
