description: he composition of fibers and matrix is of great importance in several fields of engineering, such as steel reinforcement in concrete for civil engineering or lightweight applications in the automotive and aviation industry, as it allows combining the advantages of both materials. If the bond between fibers and matrix is ideally strong enough, the mechanical deformation can be assumed to be equal in both materials. With this assumption we set up a phase field model evolving the topology of reinforcement. The phase field parameter represents regions of reinforcement in the sense of averaged increased stiffness since we do not intend to simulate single fibers. A similar model but for topology optimization based on equivalent stresses was introduced by Muench et al. [1]. In many matrix materials, viscoelastic behavior is observed. Therefore, we also consider viscoelasticity in our model for the matrix.

On the $D^0$ -- $D_s$ lifetime difference and $τ\to 7π+ ν_τ$ decays

description: In this paper we discuss some aspects of inclusive decays of charmed mesons and also decays of the $τ$ lepton into $ν_τ+ 7π$. We find that phase space effects are likely to explain the observed lifetime ratio $τ(D_s^+) / τ(D^0)$ = 1.17. In particular one need not appeal to a large annihilation contribution in the inclusive $D^0$ decay which, being absent in $D_s^+$ decays could also contribute to the enhanced $D^0$ decay rate relative to that of the $D_s^+$. Examining a separate problem, we find that the rate for $τ\to ν_τ+ 7π$ is almost completely dominated by the tiny phase space for the final eight particle state. Using an effective chiral Lagrangian to estimate the matrix element yields a branching ratio into the channel of interest far smaller than the present upper bound.

description: Bacteria often live in spatially structured groups such as biofilms. In these groups, cells can collectively generate gradients through the uptake and release of compounds. In turn, individual cells adapt their activities to the environment shaped by the whole group. Here, we studied how these processes can generate phenotypic variation in clonal populations and how this variation contributes to the resilience of the population to antibiotics. We grew two-dimensional populations of Escherichia coli in microfluidic chambers where limiting amounts of glucose were supplied from one side. We found that the collective metabolic activity of cells created microscale gradients where nutrient concentration varied over a few cell lengths. As a result, growth rates and gene expression levels varied strongly between neighbouring cells. Furthermore, we found evidence for a metabolic cross-feeding interaction between glucose-fermenting and acetate respiring subpopulations. Finally, we found that subpopulations of cells were able to survive an antibiotic pulse that was lethal in well-mixed conditions, likely due to the presence of a slow-growing subpopulation. Our work shows that emergent metabolic gradients can have important consequences for the functionality of bacterial populations as they create opportunities for metabolic interactions and increase the populations' tolerance to environmental stressors.This article is part of the discussion meeting issue ‘Single-cell ecology'.

description: We revisit the case of fast Monte-Carlo simulations of galaxy positions for a non-gaussian field. More precisely we address the question of generating a 3D field with a given one-point function (as a log-normal one, but not only) and some power-spectrum fixed by cosmology. We highlight and investigate a problem that occurs when the field is filtered and identify, for the log-normal case, a regime where it can still be used. However we show that the filtering is unnecessary if one takes into account aliasing effects and finely controls the discrete sampling step. In this way we demonstrate a sub-percent precision of all our spectra up to the Nyquist frequency. We extend the method to generate a full light cone evolution comparing two methods for doing it and validate our method with a tomographic analysis. We investigate analytically and numerically the structure of the covariance matrices obtained with such simulations which may be useful for future large and deep surveys.

description: The influence of pure statistical fluctuations on $K/π$ ratio is investigated in an event-by-event way. Poisson and the modified negative binomial distributions are used as the multiplicity distributions since they both have statistical background. It is shown that the distributions of the ratio in these cases are Gaussian, and the mean and relative variance are given analytically.

description: Confinement in non-Abelian gauge theories, such as QCD, is often explained using an analogy to type II superconductivity. In this analogy the existence of the ``Meissner'' effect for quarks with respect to the QCD vacuum is an important element. Here we show that using the ideas of Abelian projection it is possible to arrive at an effective London equation from a non-Abelian gauge theory. (London's equation gave a phenomenological description of the Meissner effect prior to the Ginzburg-Landau or BCS theory of superconductors). The Abelian projected gauge field acts as the E&M field in normal superconductivity, while the remaining non-Abelian components form a gluon condensate which is described via an effective scalar field. This effective scalar field plays a role similar to the scalar field in Ginzburg-Landau theory.

Divine resonance : Meaning-generation via instrumental music within Christian worship
Creators: name: Wakeling, Jennifer Maree
Publisher: name: Australian Catholic University
Year: 2019

description: This thesis investigates the generation of Christian meaning via the performance of instrumental music (IM) separate from text within Christian worship. IM is non-verbal, purely qualitative, and lacking in conventional theological reference. Its meaning is multivalent and relies heavily upon the sensory, imaginative, emotional, and transcendent realms of human experience. Within logo-centric views of Christian meaning-generation, IM can be perceived as contentious and tends to be treated predominantly as an accompaniment to text or ritual activity, a cue, or a soundtrack to visual presentations rather than considered as a stand-alone worship act. This thesis argues in a theoretical and interdisciplinary way that IM is a valid and valuable medium within worship. When IM is contextualised within worship, it produces a distinctive kind of musical-liturgical dynamic space (MLDS) in which a unique and particular set of intra-musical, liturgical, and extra-musical/-liturgical factors and interrelations between factors converge. IM functions within MLDS as a Christian symbol via which new Christian insight and experience can be elicited for worshippers at both implicit and explicit levels of meaning-generation. IM’s Christian symbolic capacity is argued on theological, liturgical, musicological, and semiotic grounds and exemplified in musical-liturgical scenarios. Paul Tillich’s discussion of symbols and the art-religion interface, Karl Rahner’s transcendental theological anthropology and Real Symbol, and Louis-Marie Chauvet’s interpretation of symbolic mediation ground the thesis theologically. The role of metaphorical and analogical processes and the affections within worship with reference to James K. A. Smith’s idea of the Christian imaginary, David Tracy’s notion of the analogical imagination, and Don Saliers’ account of an affections-ethics link underpin the thesis liturgically. Detailed structural and semiotic analyses qualify the thesis’ musicological claims. The semiotic theory of Charles Peirce provides the thesis’ central theoretical component – including his tripartite structure of the sign and ten sign classes. Peirce’s semiotics provides a detailed and rigorous tool for explicating MLDS and supporting the claim that IM can generate Christian meaning.

description: We present new Chandra Observatory observations with archival HST and radio observations of 3C254, a radio quasara at z=0.734, and 3C280, a radio galaxy at z=0.996. We report the detection of X-ray and possible HST optical counterparts to the radio hot spots in 3C280 and of an X-ray counterpart to the radio hot spot in 3C254. We present constraints on the presence of X-ray clusters and on the magnetic field strengths in and around the radio hot spots. The spatial resolution of Chandra allows us to show that these sources are not in hot, massive clusters. The extended emission seen in ROSAT observations is resolved into point sources. The IGM around these sources is demonstrably not dense and hot. We conclude that radio sources are not reliable signposts of massive clusters at moderate redshifts. X-ray synchrotron emission could explain the radio, optical, and X-ray hot spot fluxes in 3C280, but it would require continuous acceleration of electrons to high Lorentz factors, since the synchrotron lifetime required to produce the X-ray emission is of order a human lifetime. SSC with or without IC scattering of the CMB can also explain the X-ray emission, but not the optical. We review all of the physical mechanisms and summarize our current constraints on the magnetic field strengths in andaround the hot spots of 3C254 and 3C280.

A joint deconvolution algorithm to combine single dish and interferometer data for wideband multi-term and mosaic imaging

description: Imaging in radio astronomy is usually carried out with a single-dish radio telescope doing a raster scan of a region of the sky or with an interferometer that samples the visibility function of the sky brightness. Mosaic observations are the current standard for imaging large fields of view with an interferometer and multi-frequency observations are now routinely carried out with both types of telescopes to increase the continuum imaging sensitivity and to probe spectral structure. This paper describes an algorithm to combine wideband data from these two types of telescopes in a joint iterative reconstruction scheme that can be applied to spectral cube or wideband multi-term imaging both for narrow fields of view as well as mosaics. Our results demonstrate the ability to prevent instabilities and error that typically arise when wide-band or joint mosaicing algorithms are presented with spatial and spectral structure that is inadequetely sampled by the interferometer alone. For comparable noise levels in the single dish and interferometer data, the numerical behaviour of this algorithm is expected to be similar to the idea of generating artificial visibilities from single dish data. However, our discussed implementation is simpler and more flexible in terms of applying relative data weighting schemes to match noise levels while preserving flux accuracy, fits within standard iterative image reconstruction frameworks, is fully compatible with wide-field and joint mosaicing gridding algorithms that apply corrections specific to the interferometer data and may be configured to enable spectral cube and wideband multi-term deconvolution for single-dish data alone.

description: We study how the geometry of the large extra dimensions may affect field theory results on a three-brane. More specifically, we compare cross sections for graviton emission from a brane when the internal space is a N-torus and a N-sphere for N=2 to 6. The method we present can be used for other smooth compact geometries. We find that the ability of high energy colliders to determine the geometry of the extra dimensions is limited but there is an enhancement when both the quantum gravity scale and N are large. Our field theory results are compared with the low energy corrections to the gravitational inverse square law due to large dimensions compactified on other spaces such as Calabi-Yau manifolds.

description: The purpose of the current study is to investigate if the extensive use of technology influences the capacity for non-verbal understanding. Quantitative data were gathered through questionnaires from a sample of 571 adolescents aged from 13 to 18. Additional data were collected through questionnaires to the educators. Twelve schools from 3 provinces of Greece, with different population density participated in the research. In order to estimate the correlations between my variables Pearson’s correlation coefficient was held and Cohen’s d size effects were calculated. The results revealed statistically significant negative correlation between the use of technology and non-verbal understanding. In addition, differences were found in the aforementioned variables according age, gender and population density.

description: Life history is a robust correlate of relative brain size: larger-brained mammals and birds have slower life histories and longer lifespans than smaller-brained species. The Cognitive buffer hypothesis (CBH) proposes an adaptive explanation for this relationship: large brains may permit greater behavioural flexibility and thereby buffer the animal from unpredictable environmental challenges, allowing for reduced mortality and increased lifespan. By contrast, the Developmental costs hypothesis (DCH) suggests that life-history correlates of brain size reflect the extension of maturational processes needed to accommodate the evolution of large brains, predicting correlations with pre-adult life-history phases. Here, we test novel predictions of the hypotheses in primates applied to the neocortex and cerebellum, two major brain structures with distinct developmental trajectories. While neocortical growth is allocated primarily to prenatal development, the cerebellum exhibits relatively substantial post-natal growth. Consistent with the DCH, neocortical expansion is related primarily to extended gestation while cerebellar expansion to extended post-natal development, particularly the juvenile period. Contrary to the CBH, adult lifespan explains relatively little variance in the whole brain or neocortex volume once pre-adult life-history phases are accounted for. Only the cerebellum shows a relationship with lifespan after accounting for developmental periods. Our results substantiate and elaborate on the role of maternal investment and offspring development in brain evolution, suggest that brain components can evolve partly independently through modifications of distinct developmental phases and imply that environmental input during post-natal maturation may be particularly crucial for the development of cerebellar function. They also suggest that relatively extended maturation times provide a developmental mechanism for the marked expansion of the cerebellum in the apes.
The structure of large logarithmic corrections at small transverse momentum in hadronic collisions

description: We consider the region of small transverse momenta in the production of high-mass systems in hadronic collisions. By using the current knowledge on the infrared behaviour of tree-level and one-loop QCD amplitudes at O(alpha_s^2), we analytically compute the general form of the logarithmically-enhanced contributions up to next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy. By comparing the results with q_T-resummation formulae we extract the coefficients that control the resummation of the large logarithmic contributions for both quark and gluon channels. Our results show that within the conventional resummation formalism the Sudakov form factor is actually process-dependent.

description: The PEP-II storage rings at SLAC each have 3492 'buckets' into which electrons and positrons can be injected into the high- and low-energy rings. Equipment to measure the currents of all the individual buckets was originally provided by the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory and is implemented in VXI-based hardware. Data from this equipment as well as high precision direct current measurement provide the hard data for the Bunch Injection Controller. A large number of parameters determined by injection design considerations as well as set by operators for different circumstances are also used by the software algorithms to determine the desired bucket injection order and charge quantity for each injection pulse. These requests are then passed on to the venerable SLAC master pattern generator, which provides beams for other applications as well. This highly visible and highly successful system is implemented using the EPICS toolkit, and fits well into the merged SLAC EPICS/SLC control system. The Bunch Injection Controller hardware is a VME-based EPICS IOC, which makes extensive use of shared memory for communicating with the VXI measurement equipment and the SLAC master pattern generator.

To achieve the required signal strength and detection efficiency, sometimes they are operated at a high voltage range. This often challenges the limit of high voltage stability of the detector. Discharge in gaseous detectors is a complex process and involves several responsible factors. The microscopic geometrical structures of the MPGDs may itself sometimes induce discharges. In this study, we are numerically investigating the discharge phenomena in non-resistive Micromegas. Within the COMSOL framework, a 3-dimensional model is developed to observe the occurrence and the development of discharge in Micromegas. The effect of space charge has been taken into account in the calculation. The model allows to vary the geometrical parameters of the detector as well as to study the effects of gas impurities and a different number of primary charges.

description: We carry out a detailed calculation of the cross section of pion diffraction dissociation into two jets with large transverse momenta, originating from a hard gluon exchange between the pion constituents. Both the quark and the gluon contribution are considered and in the latter case we present calculations both in covariant and in axial gauges. We find that the standard collinear factorization does not hold in this reaction. The structure of non-factorizable contributions is discussed and the results are compared with the experimental data. Our conclusion is that the existing theoretical uncertainties do not allow, for the time being, for a quantitative extraction of the pion distribution amplitude.

description: Life history is a robust correlate of relative brain size: larger-brained mammals and birds have slower life histories and longer lifespans than smaller-brained species. The Cognitive buffer hypothesis (CBH) proposes an adaptive explanation for this relationship: large brains may permit greater behavioural flexibility and thereby buffer the animal from unpredictable environmental challenges, allowing for reduced mortality and increased lifespan. By contrast, the Developmental costs hypothesis (DCH) suggests that life-history correlates of brain size reflect the extension of maturational processes needed to accommodate the evolution of large brains, predicting correlations with pre-adult life-history phases. Here, we test novel predictions of the hypotheses in primates applied to the neocortex and cerebellum, two major brain structures with distinct developmental trajectories. While neocortical growth is allocated primarily to prenatal development, the cerebellum exhibits relatively substantial post-natal growth. Consistent with the DCH, neocortical expansion is related primarily to extended gestation while cerebellar expansion to extended post-natal development, particularly the juvenile period. Contrary to the CBH, adult lifespan explains relatively little variance in the whole brain or neocortex volume once pre-adult life-history phases are accounted for. Only the cerebellum shows a relationship with lifespan after accounting for developmental periods. Our results substantiate and elaborate on the role of maternal investment and offspring development in brain evolution, suggest that brain components can evolve partly independently through modifications of distinct developmental phases and imply that environmental input during post-natal maturation may be particularly crucial for the development of cerebellar function. They also suggest that relatively extended maturation times provide a developmental mechanism for the marked expansion of the cerebellum in the apes.

description: We report the discovery of LSR1826+3014, a very faint (V=19.36) star with a very large proper motion (mu=2.38 arcsec/yr). A low resolution red spectrum reveals that LSR1826+3014 is an ultra-cool red dwarf with spectral type M8.5 V and with a radial velocity v_rad=+77+/-10 km/s. LSR1826+3014 is thus the faintest red dwarf ever discovered with a proper motion larger than 2 arcsec/yr. Optical and infrared photometry suggest that the star is at a distance d=13.9+/-3.5 pc from the Sun, which implies it is moving relative to the local standard of rest with a total velocity of 175+/-25 km/s. Numerical integration of its orbit suggests that LSR1826+3014 is on a halo-like galactic orbit.

description: Estimates for elliptic flow in collisions of polarized light nuclei with spin $j\ge1$ with a heavy nucleus are presented. In such collisions the azimuthal symmetry is broken via polarization of the wave function of the light nucleus, resulting in nonzero one-body elliptic flow coefficient evaluated relative to the polarization axis. Our estimates involve experimentally well known features of light nuclei, such as their quadrupole moment and the charge radius, yielding the one-body elliptic flow coefficient in the range from 1\% for collisions with the deuteron to 5\% for for collisions with $^{10}$B nucleus. Prospects of addressing the issue in the upcoming fixed-target experiment at the Large Hadron Collider are discussed.

The Ego-Defensive Role of Legitimacy: How Threat-Based Justifications Protect the Self-Esteem of Discriminators

description: This article analyzes the ego-defensive role played by legitimation, by examining the hypothesis that threat-based justifications attenuate the negative effect on an individual’s self-esteem caused by his or her becoming aware of his or her own discriminatory behavior. Across three studies (including a pilot experiment), participants who were led to believe that they had acted in a discriminatory way experienced a decrease in their self-esteem. In Study 1 (N = 116), this effect was nullified when discrimination was justified by either symbolic or realistic threat perceptions. Study 2 (N = 250) replicated this pattern of results and went further by showing that discrimination affects self-esteem only in more egalitarian individuals, whereas for those less egalitarian, it affects their social image. According to the ego-defensive role of legitimation, a meta-analytical integration of the results confirmed that the influence of discrimination in depressing self-esteem is moderated by threatbased justifications.
Solving the Hierarchy Problem without Supersymmetry or Extra Dimensions: An Alternative Approach

description: In this paper, we propose a possible new approach towards solving the gauge hierarchy problem without supersymmetry and without extra spacetime dimensions. This approach relies on the finiteness of string theory and the conjectured stability of certain non-supersymmetric string vacua. One crucial ingredient in this approach is the idea of ``misaligned supersymmetry'', which explains how string theories may be finite even without exhibiting spacetime supersymmetry. This approach towards solving the gauge hierarchy problem is therefore complementary to recent proposals involving both large and small extra spacetime dimensions. This approach may also give a new perspective towards simultaneously solving the cosmological constant problem.

Modelling antimicrobial prescriptions in Scotland: A spatio-temporal clustering approach

description: In 2016 the British government acknowledged the importance of reducing antimicrobial prescriptions in order to avoid the long-term harmful effects of over-prescription. Prescription needs are highly dependent on factors that have a spatio-temporal component, such as the presence of a bacterial outbreak and the population density. In this context, density-based clustering algorithms are flexible tools to analyse data by searching for group structures. The case of Scotland presents an additional challenge due to the diversity of population densities under the area of study. We present here a spatio-temporal clustering approach for highlighting the behaviour of general practitioners (GPs) in Scotland. Particularly, we consider the density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise algorithm (DBSCAN) due to its ability to include both spatial and temporal data, as well as its flexibility to be extended with further variables. We extend this approach into two directions. For the temporal analysis, we use dynamic time warping to measure the dissimilarity between warped and shifted time series. For the spatial component, we introduce a new way of weighting spatial distances with continuous weights derived from a KDE-based process. This makes our approach suitable for cases involving spatial clusters with differing densities, which is a well-known issue for the original DBSCAN. We show an improved performance compared to both the latter and the popular k-means algorithm on simulated, as well as empirical data, presenting evidence for the ability to cluster more elements correctly and deliver actionable insights.
