Theme as structure in three novels of John Cowper Powys.
Creators: name: Fogel, Stanley Howard
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: In this thesis I first delineated the universe that John Cowper Powys envisioned and the ways he posited of living in that universe. The magician, the ichthyosaurus-ego, the saint and the sadist are anthropomorphized facets of what Powys felt was his own composite nature. Each has his own way of coming to terms with his environment. Then, I attempted to show that, in his novels at any rate, Powys's concern is artistic not philosophical or prophetic. He does not advocate one specific way of life such as that offered in In Defence of Sensuality. Only in the last few pages of A Glastonbury Romance does he eschew his personae for a personal statement about the ineradicable nature of a certain kind of response to the universe. However, in the greater part of A Glastonbury Romance, and in Wolf Solent and Maiden Castle, Powys is chiefly concerned with situating his characters, the autonomized fragments of his own character, in Glastonbury, Dorset and Dorchester. He explores the reactions of these characters to the milieu in which they are placed. My investigation of the themes of the three novels and their relationship to the novels' structures reinforces my contention that Powys's emphasis is not on the narrow formulation of a life-way. A Glastonbury Romance probes the responses of the magician, ichthyosaurus-ego, saint and sadist to that aspect of existence which the Grail represents—the unseen, the scientifically unverifiable. Wolf Solent examines the convoluted state of an ichthyosaurus-ego who learns to simply accept the universe. Maiden Castle is a hybrid of Wolf Solent and A Glastonbury Romance. It combines the focus on the ichthyosaurus-ego with the multiple perspectives of that aspect of existence represented by the powers of Maiden Castle. Though both the magician and ichthyosaurus-ego display a partial inability to cope with quotidien events, they seem most aware of all the dimensions of Powys's universe. Consequently, the three novels dwell for the most part on the responses of the ichthyosaurus-ego and the magician. Powys does not resolve which of the two ways is most viable; however, he does espouse that facet of both of them which accepts a living cosmos, a non-mechanistic world redolent of the fourth dimension, that aspect of existence which cannot be rationally apprehended.

description: The topology of electronic and phonon band structures of graphene is well studied and known to exhibit a Dirac cone at the K point of the Brillouin zone. Here, we applied inelastic x-ray scattering (IXS) along with $\textit{ab initio}$ calculations to investigate phonon topology in graphite, the 3D analogue of graphene. We identified a pair of modes that form a very weakly gapped linear anticrossing at the K point that can be essentially viewed as a Dirac cone approximant. The IXS intensity in the vicinity of the quasi-Dirac point reveals a harmonic modulation of the phonon spectral weight above and below the Dirac energy, which was previously proposed as an experimental fingerprint of the nontrivial topology. We illustrate how the topological winding of IXS intensity can be understood in terms of atomic displacements, and highlight that the intensity winding is not in fact sensitive in telling quasi- and true Dirac points apart.

description: Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) are increasingly significant in modern cities due to their potential to reduce air pollution. Precise and real-time estimation of energy consumption for them is imperative for effective itinerary planning and optimizing vehicle systems, which can reduce driving range anxiety and decrease energy costs. As public awareness of data privacy increases, adopting approaches that safeguard data privacy in the context of BEV energy consumption modeling is crucial. Federated Learning (FL) is a promising solution mitigating the risk of exposing sensitive information to third parties by allowing local data to remain on devices and only sharing model updates with a central server. Our work investigates the potential of using FL methods, such as FedAvg, and FedPer, to improve BEV energy consumption prediction while maintaining user privacy. We conducted experiments using data from 10 BEVs under simulated real-world driving conditions. Our results demonstrate that the FedAvg-LSTM model achieved a reduction of up to 67.84\% in the MAE value of the prediction results. Furthermore, we explored various real-world scenarios and discussed how FL methods can be employed in those cases. Our findings show that FL methods can effectively improve the performance of BEV energy consumption prediction while maintaining user privacy.

description: Using Spitzer/IRAC observations of a region to be observed by the CoRoT satellite, we have unraveled a new complex star-forming region at low metallicity in the outer Galaxy. We perform a study of S284 in order to outline the chain of events in this star-forming region. We used four-band Spitzer/IRAC photometry as well as Halpha imaging obtained with INT/WFC. Combining these data with the optical photometry obtained in the frame of CoRoTs preparation and the 2MASS catalog we analysed the properties and distribution of young stellar objects (YSOs) associated with point-like sources. We also studied the SEDs of regions of extended emission, complementing our dataset with IRAS and MSX data. We find that S284 is unique in several ways: it is very isolated at the end of a spiral arm and both the diffuse dust and ionized emission are remarkably symmetric. We have partially resolved the central clusters of the three bubbles present in this region. Despite the different scales present in its multiple-bubble morphology, our study points to a very narrow spread of ages among the powering high-mass clusters. In contrast, the particular sawtooth structure of the extended emission at the rim of each ionized bubble harbours either small lower-mass clusters with a younger stellar population or individual young reddened protostars. In particular, triggered star formation is considered to be at work in these regions.

description: Recent studies of galaxies ~2-3 Gyr after the Big Bang have revealed large, turbulent rotating systems. The existence of well-ordered rotation in galaxies during this peak epoch of cosmic star formation may suggest that gas accretion through cold streams is likely to be the dominant mode by which most star-forming galaxies at high redshift since major mergers can completely disrupt the observed velocity fields. However poor spatial resolution and sensitivity have hampered this interpretation, limiting the study to the largest and most luminous galaxies, which may have fundamentally different modes of assembly than more typical star forming galaxies. Here we report observations of a typical star forming galaxy at z=3.07 with a linear resolution of ~100 parsec. This spatial sampling is made possible by the combination of gravitational lensing and laser guide star adaptive optics. We find a well-ordered compact source in which molecular gas is being converted efficiently into stars, likely assembling a spheroidal bulge and disk similar to those seen in spiral galaxies at the present day.

On large scale convection in the atmosphere over the tropical Western Pacific and Eastern Indian Ocean
Creators: name: Lin, Z
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The motivation for this study came from the variation of deep convection during the anomalous climatological events known as El Nino/Southern Oscillation (ENSO). Various environmental variables, mainly sea surface temperature (SST), wind and precipitation affect various stages of the convection process. Despite the considerable work that has been done in this area, there are gaps in our knowledge of deep convection and its relationship to SST. The study encompassed an area from 70¬¨‚àûE to 180¬¨‚àûE and from 45¬¨‚àûS to 45¬¨‚àûN, but concentrated on the tropical region which is considered to be of primary importance to the development of ENSO events. The data sets used consistd of satellite-derived SST fields, wind fields from Australian Bureau of Meteorology, precipitable water vapour from NOAA/TOVS and outgoing longwave radiation (OLR), all for the period 1984 to 1986. This period lies between the 1982/83 and 1986/87 ENSO events, and therefore provides information on the character of convection prior to and at the early stages of the 1986/87 event. The annual variation of SST, wind, OLR and \\precipitable water were mapped during the study period. A wind divergence analysis at 200 mb revealed a zone of convergence over northern Australia from June to November. Over the ocean, the maximum convection is generally located west of the SST warm centre, and convection follows changes in the location of the warm centre. A conceptual model relating OLR to SST and upper level wind divergence has been developed. It successfully explains the relationship between these three variables, especially above the threshold temperature of 27.5¬¨‚àûC, and points to the importance of upper level divergence in the development of deep convection. Some interesting features were found to be related to the 1986/87 ENSO event. A positive SST anomaly developed over the tropical mid-Pacific during the study period. By contrast a negative anomaly developed simultaneously over the south Indian Ocean west of Australia. Evidence of a weak convection signal, much before the ENSO anomaly was fully developed, was observed in the Philippines Sea region from May 1986 onward.

description: Dark matter neutralinos in the constrained minimal supersymmetric model (CMSSM) may account for the recent cosmic ray electron and positron observations reported by the PAMELA and ATIC experiments either through self annihilation or via decay. However, to achieve this, both scenarios require new physics beyond the 'standard' CMSSM, and a unified explanation of the two experiments suggests a neutralino mass of order 700 GeV - 2 TeV. A relatively light neutralino with mass around 100 GeV (300 GeV) can accomodate the PAMELA but not the ATIC observations based on a model of annihilating (decaying) neutralinos. We study the implications of these scenarios for Higgs and sparticle spectroscopy in the CMSSM and highlight some benchmark points. An estimate of neutrino flux expected from the annihilating and decaying neutralino scenarios is provided.

description: Detecting events from social media data streams is gradually attracting researchers. The innate challenge for detecting events is to extract discriminative information from social media data thereby assigning the data into different events. Due to the excessive diversity and high updating frequency of social data, using supervised approaches to detect events from social messages is hardly achieved. To this end, recent works explore learning discriminative information from social messages by leveraging graph contrastive learning (GCL) and embedding clustering in an unsupervised manner. However, two intrinsic issues exist in benchmark methods: conventional GCL can only roughly explore partial attributes, thereby insufficiently learning the discriminative information of social messages; for benchmark methods, the learned embeddings are clustered in the latent space by taking advantage of certain specific prior knowledge, which conflicts with the principle of unsupervised learning paradigm. In this paper, we propose a novel unsupervised social media event detection method via hybrid graph contrastive learning and reinforced incremental clustering (HCRC), which uses hybrid graph contrastive learning to comprehensively learn semantic and structural discriminative information from social messages and reinforced incremental clustering to perform efficient clustering in a solidly unsupervised manner. We conduct comprehensive experiments to evaluate HCRC on the Twitter and Maven datasets. The experimental results demonstrate that our approach yields consistent significant performance boosts. In traditional incremental setting, semi-supervised incremental setting and solidly unsupervised setting, the model performance has achieved maximum improvements of 53%, 45%, and 37%, respectively.

Studies on seedling mortality associated with Eucalyptus regnans forest regeneration in southern Tasmania
Creators: name: Lacey, Michael
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Burning of logging slash resulted in apparent sterilisation of the soil surface to a depth of about 2cm and also increased soil surface pH, which in localised areas reached sufficiently high values to be toxic to seedlings. In vitro studies showed that high pH conditions caused seedling mortality in E. regnans although the lethal effect of a transient elevated pH was reduced at temperatures sufficiently low to delay germination. The pH above which detrimental effects were expected was in the range 8.4 to 9.0. Suppression of seedling growth was observed in field soil with glasshouse studies showing that this suppression was partly overcome by prior slash-burning or by addition of N and P fertilisers. Availability of soil moisture appeared to be the main factor limiting seedling establishment in the field. Slash-burning was associated with increased seedling emergence but also with increased mortality rates compared to an unbumt control. Although fungi were found to be associated with the majority of dying seedlings from the field, their involvement in seedling pathology was unclear. Most common among these isolates was a species of Phoma, representative isolates of which caused cliscolouration and stunting of E. regnans seedlings in vitro, but were not otherwise markedly pathogenic. Species of Alternaria and Cladosporium were also commonly found on seedlings and probably present as saprophytes. Pythiaceous fungi were isolated from seedlings but pathogenicity of these was not examined. Rhizoctonia solani (pectic zymogram groups ZG5, ZG7 and ZG10) were isolated from seedlings that had died in field soil under glasshouse conditions. Representatives of R. solani groups ZG5 and ZG7 were pathogenic to E. regnans in vitro‚Äö however Rhizoctonia was not commonly isolated from the field. Three bacterial rhizosphere isolates (two Pseudomonas fluorescens and Bacillus circulans) and a fungus (Epicoccum purpurascens) from E. regnans were evaluated as fungal antagonists. Three of these were shown to reduce mortality (due to R. solani ZG7) of seedlings in vitro following inoculation in the vicinity of seeds, with E. purpurascens providing 100% protection after 30 days (compared with 22% survival of controls). Surprisingly, B. circulans and E. purpurascens also increased seed germination rates. Of the antagonists, only E. purpurascens improved seedling establishment in a glasshouse trial, both in the presence and absence of R. solani ZG7. However neither treatment with E. purpurascens nor the fungicide Raxil (applied to seed in combination with Mancozeb) resulted in improvement in seedling establishment in a small field trial.
Nucleon Spin Polarisabilities from Polarised Deuteron Compton Scattering

description: We present recent results on elastic deuteron Compton scattering calculations for polarised beans and targets up to next-to-leading order within Chiral Effective Field Theory in the Small Scale Expansion variant to implement a dynamical Δ(1232) degree of freedom. A simple power-counting argument discloses that np-intermediate rescattering states must be explicitly included at leading order already. This automatically results in the correct Thomson limit and guarantees current conservation. In view of ongoing effort at MAXlab, proposals at HIGS and plans at MAMI, we address in detail single- and double-polarised observables with linearly or circularly polarised photons on both unpolarised and vector-polarised deuterons. Our results indicate that several of the polarisation observables can be instrumental to extract not only spin-independent nucleon polarisabilities, but also the so-far practically un-determined spin-dependent polarisabilities which parameterise the stiffness of the nucleon spin in external electro-magnetic fields. Amongst the questions addressed are: convergence of the expansion for including the Δ, the role of the np-rescattering contributions, and sensitivity to the deuteron wave function. An interactive Mathematica 7.0 notebook of these findings is available from the authors.

description: The $k\cdot p$ method is significant in condensed matter physics for the compact and analytical Hamiltonian. In the presence of magnetic field, it is described by the effective Zeeman's coupling Hamiltonian with Landé $ g $-factors. Here, we develop an open-source package VASP2KP (including two parts: vasp2mat and mat2kp) to compute $k\cdot p$ parameters and Landé $g$-factors directly from the wavefunctions provided by the density functional theory (DFT) as implemented in Vienna ab initio Simulation Package (VASP). First, we develop a VASP patch vasp2mat to compute matrix representations of the generalized momentum operator $ \mathbf{\hatπ}=\mathbf{\hat{p}}+\frac{1}{2mc^2}\left(\mathbf{\hat{s}}\times\nabla V(\mathbf{r})\right) $, spin operator $\mathbf{\hat{s}}$, time reversal operator $\hat{T}$ and crystalline symmetry operators $\hat{R}$ on the DFT wavefunctions. Second, we develop a python code mat2kp to obtain the unitary transformation $U$ that rotates the degenerate DFT basis towards the standard basis, and then automatically compute the $k\cdot p$ parameters and $g$-factors. The theory and the methodology behind VASP2KP are described in detail. The matrix elements of the operators are derived comprehensively and computed correctly within the projector augmented wave method. We apply this package to some materials, e.g., Bi$_2$Se$_3$, Na$_3$Bi, Te, InAs and 1H-TMD monolayers. The obtained effective model's dispersions are in good agreement with the DFT data around the specific wave vector, and the $g$-factors are consistent with experimental data.

description: Dark Matter annihilation (DMA) may yield an excess of gamma rays and antimatter particles, like antiprotons and positrons, above the background from cosmic ray interactions. Several signatures, ranging from the positron excess, as observed by HEAT, AMS-01 and PAMELA, the gamma ray excess, as observed by the EGRET spectrometer, the WMAP-haze, and constraints from antiprotons, as observed by CAPRICE, BESS and PAMELA, have been discussed in the literature. Unfortunately, the different signatures all lead to different WIMP masses, indicating that at least some of these interpretations are likely to be incorrect. Here we review them and discuss their relative merits and uncertainties. New x-ray data from ROSAT suggests non-negligible convection in our Galaxy, which leads to an order of magnitude uncertainty in the yield of charged particles from DMA, since even a rather small convection will let drift the charged particles in the halo to outer space.

description: We present three holographic constructions of fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE) via string theory. The first model studies edge states in FQHE using supersymmetric domain walls in N=6 Chern-Simons theory. We show that D4-branes wrapped on CP^1 or D8-branes wrapped on CP^3 create edge states that shift the rank or the level of the gauge group, respectively. These holographic edge states correctly reproduce the Hall conductivity. The second model presents a holographic dual to the pure U(N)_k (Yang-Mills-)Chern-Simons theory based on a D3-D7 system. Its holography is equivalent to the level-rank duality, which enables us to compute the Hall conductivity and the topological entanglement entropy. The third model introduces the first string theory embedding of hierarchical FQHEs, using IIA string on C^2/Z_n.

Neutral Higgs-pair Production at one-loop from a Generic 2HDM

description: We present a one-loop analysis of the pairwise production of neutral Higgs bosons (h0A0, H0A0) at linear colliders, such as the ILC and CLIC, within the general Two-Higgs-Doublet Model (2HDM). We single out sizable radiative corrections, which can well reach the level of 50 % and may be either positive (typically for \sqrt{s} \sim 0.5 TeV) and negative (for \sqrt{s} of 1 TeV and above). These large quantum effects, obtained in full agreement with the current phenomenological bounds and the stringent theoretical constraints on the parameter space of the model, can be traced back to the enhancement capabilities of the triple-Higgs self-interactions -- a trademark feature of the 2HDM, with no counterpart in e.g. the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. In the most favorable scenarios, the Higgs-pair cross sections may be boosted up to barely 30 fb at the fiducial center-of-mass energy of 500 GeV -- amounting to a few thousand events per 500 inverse femtobarn of integrated luminosity. We also compare these results with several complementary double and triple Higgs-boson production mechanisms at order α^3_{ew} and leading α^4_{ew}, and we spotlight a plethora of potentially distinctive signatures of a Two-Higgs-Doublet structure of non-supersymmetric nature.

description: We theoretically analyze possible multiple conformations of protein molecules immobilized by 1-pyrenebutanoic-acid-succinimidyl-ester (PASE) linkers on graphene. The activation barrier between two bi-stable conformations exhibited by PASE is confirmed to be based on the steric hindrance effect between a hydrogen on the pyrene group and a hydrogen on the alkyl group of this molecule. Even after the protein is supplemented, this steric hindrance effect remains if the local structure of the linker consisting of an alkyl group and a pyrene group is maintained. Therefore, it is likely that the kinetic behavior of a protein immobilized with a single PASE linker exhibits an activation barrier-type energy surface between the bi-stable conformations on graphene. We discuss the expected protein sensors when this type of energy surface appears and provide a guideline for improving the sensitivity, especially as an oscillator-type biosensor.

Dreams and realities : some insights into the National Catholic Rural Movement
Creators: name: Madden, Kathy
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania

description: \They _frightened me old friend. All they want for a rural policy is a sheep a goat three acres - and a migrant.\" So commented a former Governor General returning from a rural conference in Albury according to Alan Reid a political journalist writing a newspaper story in October 1954. Who were the mysterious they? Forerunners of the communes of the sixties perhaps the cult movements of the seventies? Certainly it was a religious organisation but one where most of the members belonged to that oldest form of institutionalised Christianity - the Roman Catholic Church. Co-operation was an esteemed principle but the freedom \"to do your own thing\" was not. The National Catholic Rural Movement (NCRM) as it was called was an expression of Catholic Action a concept formulated in Rome but which the Australian hierarchy was struggling to establish in a country far removed from Europe. Yet with a mixture of somewhat naive romanticism and ironclad ideology the NCRM had its own idealistic visions for Australia much as the poet McAuley was to write in 1956. \"Help of Christians guard this landfrom assault or inward stain. Let it be what Christ has planned His Eden where you reign.\" By 1950 the National Catholic Rural Movement had about 6000 members 300 rural groups and a periodical \"Rural Life\" The NCRM however was never a truly 'grass roots' rural based movement nor did any initiatives develop from the country branches. During the period of its growth post war reconstruction was a subject of wide interest and debate in Australia and there was strong support for such concepts as decentralisation and land settlement which were central to NCRM theories. Yet attempts to implement NCRM policies provoked suspicion and antagonism because they ran counter to values deeply held in Australia at that time. With the incoming tide of new technology and cultural changes in post-war Australia the assumptions basic to the NCRM's vision crumbled as surely as sand castles on the beach."

description: Using Linux, in conjunction with a high-level sound card, and many available open source software allows to arrange inexpensive PAM (Passive Acoustic Monitoring) station able to operate 24/365 days. An implementation has been developed in 2014 and used for months in acoustic monitoring of marine mammals during oil and gas company related activities, in Adriatic Sea. The Linux operative system is commonly considered robust and able to provide high performance and reliability. Over the years it has been more and more used in audio applications, offering professional tools used both for professional (recording studios) and for scientific purpose. One of its more important sound component, in professional use, is Jack – Audio connection kit. Jack is an open source audio infrastructure that allows real-time, low-latency connections for audio devices between applications and vice-versa. Using Jack it is possible connecting a sound source (for example two or more hydrophones) to one or more specific signal processing modules, so the filtered sound can be returned to the headphones, and at the same time save the raw data to disk and show, always in real-time, the spectrogram on the display.

 AMS (Alsa Modular Synth) is a real-time modular synthesizer and effect processor. AMS gives different kind of modules really useful in PAM (Passive Acoustic Monitoring), avoiding the needs of analogic external devices, to equalize sound, apply bandpass filters and also divide the sound frequencies allowing, e.g. to listen cetacean clicks in real-time.

description: Der Beitrag umreißt zunächst den (institutionellen) Umgang mit geistig behinderten Kindern in der DDR und beschreibt die Entwicklung von 1945 bis 1989, indem er diesbezüglich relevante Handlungsebenen rekonstruiert und analysiert und die wechselseitige Bedingtheit der Teilsysteme beschreibt. Das sich damit abzeichnende Bild wird durch die Alltagswirklichkeit betroffener Eltern und Professioneller, die in zeitgenössischen literarischen und nichtfiktionalen Texten und den Pädagogischen Lesungen beschrieben wird, illustriert, ergänzt und kontrastiert. Eine auf dieser Basis vollzogene Zusammenführung der verschiedenen Fach- und Alltagsdiskursebenen zeigt, dass die bisherige Diskussion zum Umgang mit geistig behinderten Menschen in der DDR um wesentliche Facetten erweitert und in einigen Teilen revidiert werden muss.

description: We present several methods for predicting the dynamics of Hamiltonian systems from discrete observations of their vector field. Each method is either informed or uninformed of the Hamiltonian property. We empirically and comparatively evaluate the methods and observe that information that the system is Hamiltonian can be effectively informed, and that different methods strike different trade-offs between efficiency and effectiveness for different dynamical systems.

description: This study harnesses the predictive capabilities of Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks to analyse and predict road traffic accidents in Great Britain. It addresses the challenge of traffic accident forecasting, which is paramount for devising effective preventive measures. We utilised an extensive dataset encompassing reported collisions, casualties, and vehicles involvements from 1926 to 2022, provided by the Department for Transport (DfT). The data underwent stringent processing to rectify missing values and normalise features, ensuring robust LSTM network input.

description: Signal peptide (SP) is a short peptide located in the N-terminus of proteins. It is essential to target and transfer transmembrane and secreted proteins to correct positions. Compared with traditional experimental methods to identify signal peptides, computational methods are faster and more efficient, which are more practical for analyzing thousands or even millions of protein sequences, especially for metagenomic data. Here we present Unbiased Organism-agnostic Signal Peptide Network (USPNet), a signal peptide classification and cleavage site prediction deep learning method that takes advantage of protein language models. We propose to apply label distribution-aware margin loss to handle data imbalance problems and use evolutionary information of protein to enrich representation and overcome species information dependence.

Dirac structures and Dixmier-Douady bundles

Subjects: subject: Differential Geometry (math.DG)

description: A Dirac structure on a vector bundle V is a maximal isotropic subbundle E of the direct sum of V with its dual. We show how to associate to any Dirac structure a Dixmier-Douady bundle A, that is, a Z/2Z-graded bundle of C*-algebras with typical fiber the compact operators on a Hilbert space. The construction has good functorial properties, relative to Morita morphisms of Dixmier-Douady bundles. As applications, we show that the `spin' Dixmier-Douady bundle over a compact, connected Lie group (as constructed by Atiyah-Segal) is multiplicative, and we obtain a canonical `twisted Spin-c-structure' on spaces with group valued moment maps.

description: We consider the problem of existence of constant scalar curvature Kaehler metrics on complete intersections of sections of vector bundles. In particular we give general formulas relating the Futaki invariant of such a manifold to the weight of sections defining it and to the Futaki invariant of the ambient manifold. As applications we give a new Mukai-Umemura-Tian like example of Fano 5-fold admitting no Kaehler-Einstein metric and a strong evidence of K-stability of complete intersections on Grassmannians.

The Hierarchy Problem and $\mathcal{N} =2$ $\mathcal{D} = 5$ Supergravity
Creators: name: Salem, Safinaz

Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We introduce a new scenario to solve the hierarchy problem based on $\mathcal{N}=2$, five-dimensional supergravity compactified on Calabi-Yau threefold down from $\mathcal{D}=11$ supergravity. When modeling the universe as a 3-brane embedded in a five-dimensional bulk, the background metric is proportional to one of the hypermultiplets fields, namely the dilaton, the volume modulus of the Calabi-Yau space. When solving the dilaton field equation, we find that it is dependent on the extra dimension. We solve the modified Friedmann equations and find the implications of the model on the relation between the effective four-dimensional gravity scale in the brane and the Planck scale of the fifth extra dimension ($\mathcal{M} $). A couple of different scales are considered for the extra dimension, the first where the extra dimension is in range of the solar system and $\mathcal{M} $ is of order of the electroweak scale, and the second where the scale of the extra dimension is of order $μm$ and the higher dimensional Planck scale $\mathcal{M} \sim 10^{13} ~ \text{GeV}$. In both cases, the signatures of Kaluza-Klein excitations are quite distinct from the signatures of any previous extra dimensions model.

title: Effect of surface treatment with aluminum oxide and plasma spray on shear bond strength between veneering resins and ceramic filled PEEK versus glass filled PEEK: An in-vitro study
Creators: name: Younis, Mohamed
Publisher: name: Journal of Medical Materials and Technologies
Year: 2018

description: In this study the effect of different surface treatments on the shear bond strength between PEEK and a composite resin was tested. Following ISO 10477 guidelines, two different PEEKs (ceramic & glass filled PEEK) were used by preparing 30 specimens of each type for 3 different surface treatment groups (reference, sandblasting and atmospheric plasma treatment). Bonding procedures started using visiolink adhesive followed by opaquer application then veneering resin. Surface roughness of the specimens was measured and scan electron microscopy (SEM) pictures was taken then thermal cycling for 5000 cycles between 5 and 55 °C in distilled water was done. Finally shear bond strength test was determined. Means and standard deviations were calculated using one-way ANOVA. Probability value (p-value) ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant result. Additionally, multiple comparison between different surface treatments of both types were done using POST HOC Tamhane. A statistically significant higher bond strength and surface roughness values were found only in sandblasting group in both types of PEEK. This was further confirmed with scan electron microscope. Sandblasting is still the best convenient method to provide good bonding of PEEK composites to veneering resins. Ceramic filled PEEK yielded higher bond strength than glass filled PEEK after sandblasting.

description: We present a family of one-dimensional cellular automata modeling the diffusion of an innovation in a population. Starting from simple deterministic rules, we construct models parameterized by the interaction range and exhibiting a second-order phase transition. We show that the number of individuals who eventually keep adopting the innovation strongly depends on connectivity between individuals.

Chandra observations of the hybrid morphology radio sources 3C 433 and 4C 65.15: FR IIs with asymmetric environments

description: We present Chandra observations of the hybrid morphology radio sources 3C 433 and 4C 65.15, two members of the rare class of objects possessing an FR I jet on one side of the core and an FR II lobe on the other. The X-ray spectrum of 3C 433 shows intrinsic absorption (with a column density of N_H=8e22 cm-2), such as is typical of FR II narrow-line radio galaxies. There is excess X-ray emission below 2 keV containing contributions from diffuse soft X-ray emission (likely hot gas with kT~1.2 keV) as well as from the nucleus. The core of 3C 433 is extended in hard X-rays, presumably due to X-ray emission from the inner-jet knot on the FR I side that is apparent in the radio map. It is possible that the X-ray emission from this inner-jet knot is absorbed by the dust known to be present in the host galaxy. The spectrum of 4C 65.15 can be modeled with a simple power law with perhaps mild intrinsic absorption (N_H=1.3e21 cm-2). X-ray emission is detected at the bend in the FR I jet. This X-ray jet emission lies above the extrapolation from the high-frequency radio synchrotron emission and has a spectral slope flatter than alpha_rx, indicating that the jet spectral energy distribution is concave as with other FR II quasar jets. Both 3C 433 and 4C 65.15 have unabsorbed X-ray luminosities, radio luminosities, and optical spectra typically seen in comparable sources with FR II morphologies. Presumably the FR I structure seen on one side in these hybrid sources is generated by a powerful jet interacting with a relatively dense environment.

description: A recently proposed model (arXiv:0903.2794) explains the rise in energy of the positron fraction measured by the PAMELA satellite in terms of hadronic production of positrons in aged supernova remnants, and acceleration therein. Here we present a preliminary calculation of the anti-proton flux produced by the same mechanism. While the model is consistent with present data, a rise of the antiproton to proton ratio is predicted at high energy, which strikingly distinguishes this scenario from other astrophysical explanations of the positron fraction (like pulsars). We briefly discuss important implications for Dark Matter searches via antimatter.

description: We explore in depth the validity of a recently proposed scaling law for earthquake interevent time distributions in the case of the Southern California, using the waveform cross-correlation catalog of Shearer et al. Two statistical tests are used: on the one hand, the standard two-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test is in agreement with the scaling of the distributions. On the other hand, the one-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic complemented with Monte Carlo simulation of the inter-event times, as done by Clauset et al., supports the validity of the gamma distribution as a simple model of the scaling function appearing on the scaling law, for rescaled inter-event times above 0.01, except for the largest data set (magnitude greater than 2). A discussion of these results is provided.
