description: This is the first in a series of papers in which we analyze medium--resolution spectra of over 400 K and M giants in Baade's Window. Our sample was selected from the proper motion study of Spaenhauer et al. [AJ, 103, 297 (1992)]. We have measured radial velocities for most of the sample, as well as line--strength indices on the system of Faber et al. [ApJS, 57, 711 (1985)]. We analyze the random and systematic errors in velocities and line strengths, and show that the bright (V < 16.0) stars in our sample are predominantly foreground disk stars along the line--of--sight toward Baade's Window. We find that most of the bulge K giants have stronger Mg absorption at a given color than do stars in the solar neighborhood. If the K giants in our sample are moderately old, we suggest that on average they may have [Mg/Fe] ~ +0.3, consistent with the results of recent high--resolution spectroscopy in Baade's Window.

description: We report on the first flight of the balloon-borne QMAP experiment. The experiment is designed to make a map of the cosmic microwave background anisotropy on angular scales from 0.7 to several degrees. Using the map we determine the angular power spectrum of the anisotropy in multipole bands from l~40 to l~140. The results are consistent with the Saskatoon (SK) measurements. The frequency spectral index (measured at low l) is consistent with that of CMB and inconsistent with either Galactic synchrotron or free-free emission. The instrument, measurement, analysis of the angular power spectrum, and possible systematic errors are discussed.

description: Models for confluent biological tissues often describe the network formed by cells as a triple-junction network, similar to foams. However, higher order vertices or multicellular rosettes are prevalent in developmental and {\it in vitro} processes and have been recognized as crucial in many important aspects of morphogenesis, disease, and physiology. In this work, we study the influence of rosettes on the mechanics of a confluent tissue. We find that the existence of rosettes in a tissue can greatly influence its rigidity. Using a generalized vertex model and effective medium theory we find a fluid-to-solid transition driven by rosette density and intracellular tensions. This transition exhibits several hallmarks of a second-order phase transition such as a growing correlation length and a universal critical scaling in the vicinity a critical point. Further, we elucidate the nature of rigidity transitions in dense biological tissues and other cellular structures using a generalized Maxwell constraint counting approach. This answers a long-standing puzzle of the origin of solidity in these systems.

‘Girl strikers’ and the 1918 Vancouver Steam Laundries Dispute
Creators: name: Nicol, Janet Mary
Publisher: name: BC Studies: The British Columbian Quarterly
Year: 2019

description: Canadian soldiers were still fighting overseas alongside the British, when more than 300 laundry workers in Vancouver—most of them female—went on strike in September of 1918. During the ensuing four months of the dispute, trade union men protested conscription, the Spanish flu pandemic swept through the city and on November 11, an armistice in Europe was celebrated in the streets. Trade unions had gained leverage by 1916 in Vancouver and across Canada, strike activity proliferated between 1917 and 1920. During the tumultuous final months of the war, the ‘laundry girls’ found an opportunity to take a stand. This narration examines a labour dispute at seven Vancouver steam laundries in 1918 through the lens of four female participants: Helena Gutteridge, union organizer and executive member of the Vancouver Trades and Labour Council; Ellen Goode, a 20 year old striker who gave a oral account of the strike decades later; Josephine Nelson, a 31 year old Irish immigrant and 43 year old Matilda Cruickshank. The intent of this research note is to better understand the lives of working women a century ago. Issues raised as they intersect with class, gender and race will be considered. The strike was a transformative experience for many women involved, their lives changed—‘as the world was changed.’

description: The well-known spatial sign covariance matrix (SSCM) carries out a radial transform which moves all data points to a sphere, followed by computing the classical covariance matrix of the transformed data. Its popularity stems from its robustness to outliers, fast computation, and applications to correlation and principal component analysis. In this paper we study more general radial functions. It is shown that the eigenvectors of the generalized SSCM are still consistent and the ranks of the eigenvalues are preserved. The influence function of the resulting scatter matrix is derived, and it is shown that its breakdown value is as high as that of the original SSCM. A simulation study indicates that the best results are obtained when the inner half of the data points are not transformed and points lying far away are moved to the center.

Completely unknown today, she was nonetheless one of the first women writers, if not the first Indigenous female writer, published in British Columbia. Her small collection of writings deserves attention not only for its first-person perspective on aspects on Nlaka'pamux culture, but for the window into the way this young Indigenous woman thought about the world around her at the turn of the 20th century.

description: We present results from the QMAP balloon experiment, which maps the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and probes its angular power spectrum on degree scales. In two separate flights, data were taken in six channels at two frequency bands between 26 to 46 GHz. We describe our method for mapmaking (removal of 1/f-noise and scan-synchronous offsets) and power spectrum estimation, as well as the results of a joint analysis of the data from both flights. This produces a 527 square degree map of the CMB around the North Celestial Pole, allowing a wide variety of systematic cross-checks. The frequency dependence of the fluctuations is consistent with CMB and inconsistent with Galactic foreground emission. The anisotropy is measured in three multipole bands from l~40 to l~200, and the angular power spectrum shows a distinct rise which is consistent with the Saskatoon results.

description: A prominent organizational feature of bacterial chromosomes was revealed by Hi-C experiments, indicating anomalously high contacts between the left and right chromosomal arms. These long-range contacts have been attributed to various nucleoid-associated proteins, including the ATPase SMC condensin. Although the molecular structure of these ATPases has been mapped in detail, it still remains unclear by which physical mechanisms they collectively generate long-range chromosomal contacts. Here, we develop a computational model that captures the subtle interplay between molecular-scale activity of slip-links and large-scale chromosome organization. We first consider a scenario in which the ATPase activity of slip-links regulates their DNA-recruitment near the origin of replication, while the slip-link dynamics is assumed to be diffusive. We find that such diffusive slip-links can collectively organize the entire chromosome into a state with aligned arms, but not within physiological constraints. However, slip-links that include motor activity are far more effective at organizing the entire chromosome over all length-scales. The persistence of motor slip-links at physiological densities can generate large, nested loops and drive them into the bulk of the DNA. Finally, our model with motor slip-links can quantitatively account for the rapid arm--arm alignment of chromosomal arms observed in vivo.

description: Relative to other developing regions, the role of land consolidation in increasing crop yields is poorly understood in sub-Saharan Africa. This paper examines the role of land use consolidation on agricultural productivity among smallholder farmers in Rwanda. Household-level data are used to estimate a fixed-effects model with matched control groups to mitigate selection bias. The study finds a positive association between land use consolidation and crop yields, but only among farm households with landholdings greater than one hectare, which is well above the average farm size in Rwanda. Findings also point to the importance of non-organic fertilisers and irrigation as there appear to be significant benefits associated with further increases in their use among the consolidated farms.

description: Analyzing the (l, b, Vlsr) data cube of 13CO(J=1-0) line emission obtained by Bally et al, we have investigated the molecular gas distribution and kinematics in the central +/-1 deg (150 pc) region of the Galaxy. We have applied the pressing method to remove the local- and foreground-gas components at low velocities in order to estimate the intensity more quantitatively. Two major dense molecular arms have been identified in longitude-radial velocity diagrams as apparently rigidly-rotating ridges. The ridges are spatially identified as two arms, which we call the Galactic Center molecular Arms (GCA). The arms compose a rotating ring of radius 120 pc (the 120-pc Molecular Ring), whose inclination is about 85 deg. The Sgr B molecular complex is associated with GCA I, and Sgr C complex is located on GCA II. These arms are as thin as 13 to 15 pc, except for vertically extended massive complexes around Sgr B and C. The LV behavior of the arms can be qualitatively reproduced by a model which assumes spiral arms of gas. Assuming a small pitch angle for the arms, we tried to deconvolve the LV diagram to a projection on the galactic plane, and present a possible face-on CO map as seen from the galactic pole, which also reveals a molecular ring and arms. We have estimated masses of these molecular features, using the most recent value of the CO-to-H2 conversion factor taking into account its metallicity dependency and radial gradient in the Galaxy. The estimated molecular masses and kinetic energy are about a factor of three smaller than those reported in the literature using the conventional conversion factor.

description: Robert Jensen and Emily Oster find that arrival of cable TV in rural India reduces women's tolerance of spousal violence, son preference and fertility, and increases women's autonomy, and school enrolment. These results are mostly replicated using their data and code. However, cable TV does not affect uneducated women. Theoretically informed index construction reduces the tolerance of violence effect, and weakens that on autonomy. We have statistical power concerns, and find errors and questionable assumptions in school enrolment constructions. Using our data constructions, effects sizes and significance are weakened. These results suggest that pure, statistical and scientific replication have merit.
On the Polarization of H-alpha Lines Scattered by Neutral Hydrogen in Active Galactic Nuclei

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: Raman scattering by atomic hydrogen converts the UV continuum around Ly$β$ into optical continuum around H$α$, and the basic atomic physics has been discussed in several works on symbiotic stars. We propose that the same process may operate in active galactic nuclei (AGN) and calculate the linear polarization of the broad emission lines Raman-scattered by a high column neutral hydrogen compnent. The conversion efficiency of the Raman scattering process is discussed and the expected scattered flux is computed using the spectral energy distribution of an AGN given by a typical power law. The high column H {\sc i} component in AGN is suggested by many observations encompassing radio through UV and X-ray ranges. When the neutral hydrogen component with a column density $\sim 10^{22} cm^{-2}$ is present around the active nucleus, it is found that the scattered H$α$ is characterized by a very broad width $\sim 20,000 km/s$ and that the strength of the polarized flux is comparable to that of the electron-scattered flux expected from a conventional unified model of narrow line AGN. The width of the scattered flux is mainly determined by the column density of the neutral scatterers where the total scattering optical depth becomes of order unity. The asymmetry in the Raman scattering cross section around Ly$β$ introduces red asymmetric polarized profiles around H$α$. The effects of the blended Ly$β$ and O {\sc vi} 1034 doublet are also investigated. We briefly discuss the spectropolarimetric observations performed on the Seyfert galaxy IRAS 110548-1131 and the narrow line radio galaxy Cyg A.

'Most of Today's Teen-agers Laugh about God': Youth, Secularization, and the Sixties in British Columbia
Creators: name: Block, Tina
Publisher: name: BC Studies: The British Columbian Quarterly
Year: 2019

description: This article explores how, why, and to what extent British Columbia youth turned away from organized religion, and religious belief, between the late 1950s and the mid-1970s, an era often referred to as the long sixties. Drawing on quantitative materials, newspapers, archival records, and oral interviews, it shows that British Columbia’s robust counterculture and comparative secularity fueled the questioning of, and departure from, established religion among youth in the province. During the long sixties, large numbers of young British Columbians abruptly rejected churches they saw as hypocritical, patriarchal, and irrelevant, often deliberately framing such rejection in terms of generational opposition. Journeys away from religious belief were, by contrast, more gradual, less certain, and framed by a silence and stigma around unbelief that persisted even in Canada’s most secular province. Many people did not become open or affirmed nonbelievers until later in life, when cultural and family pressures to believe had diminished. In their abrupt rejection of organized religion and their more gradual drift from religious belief, British Columbia youth were at the forefront of wider trends of dechristianization and secularization in postwar Canada.

description: We investigate the three-dimensional structure of the so-called ``200-pc expanding molecular ring" in the Galactic Center by analyzing (b, Vlsr) diagrams of the 13CO(J=1-0) line emission from the Bell-Telephone Laboratory survey. We show that the b-v features can be fitted by a spheroidal shell pinched at the equator (dumbbell-shaped shell), which we call the expanding molecular shell (EMS). The radius is about 180 pc and the vertical extent is more than +/-50 pc. The shell is expanding at 160 km/s, and is rotating at 70 km/s. The association of the radio continuum emission indicates that the EMS is a mixture of molecular and ionized hydrogen gases. An extended hot (X-ray) plasma appears to fill the interior of the shell. The estimated molecular mass of the shell is approximately 1.E7 Msun and its kinetic energy 2.E54 ergs.

Triplet-Tuning: A Novel Family of Non-Empirical Exchange-Correlation Functionals

description: In the framework of DFT, the lowest triplet excited state, T$_1$, can be evaluated using multiple formulations, the most straightforward of which are UDFT and TDDFT. Assuming the exact XC functional is applied, UDFT and TDDFT provide identical energies for T$_1$ ($E_{\rm T}$), which is also a constraint that we require our XC functionals to obey. However, this condition is not satisfied by most of the popular XC functionals, leading to inaccurate predictions of low-lying, spectroscopically and photochemically important excited states, such as T$_1$ and S$_1$. Inspired by the optimal tuning strategy for frontier orbital energies [Stein, Kronik, and Baer, {\it J. Am. Chem. Soc.} {\bf 2009}, 131, 2818], we proposed a novel and non-empirical prescription of constructing an XC functional in which the agreement between UDFT and TDDFT in $E_{\rm T}$ is strictly enforced. Referred to as "triplet tuning", our procedure allows us to formulate the XC functional on a case-by-case basis using the molecular structure as the exclusive input, without fitting to any experimental data. The first triplet tuned XC functional, TT-$ω$PBEh, is formulated as a long-range-corrected hybrid of PBE and HF functionals [Rohrdanz, Martins, and Herbert, {\it J. Chem. Phys.} {\bf 2009}, 130, 054112] and tested on four sets of large organic molecules. Compared to existing functionals, TT-$ω$PBEh manages to provide more accurate predictions for key spectroscopic and photochemical observables, including but not limited to $E_{\rm T}$, $E_{\rm S}$, $ΔE_{\rm ST}$, and $I$, as it adjusts the effective electron-hole interactions to arrive at the correct excitation energies. This promising triplet tuning scheme can be applied to a broad range of systems that were notorious in DFT for being extremely challenging.

description: Warped braneworld models has the potential to provide a plausible resolution to the gauge hierarchy problem but at the cost of introduction of an additional field, namely the inter-brane separation or, the radion field. Providing an appropriate stabilization scheme for the radion field has long been sought for. In this work, we discuss dynamical stabilization of the radion field in the context of early universe cosmology. We show that by allowing the branes to be \emph{non-flat} and \emph{dynamical} a radion potential is naturally generated which can trigger the inflationary phase of the early universe. Interestingly, the kinetic term of the radion during the inflationary epoch exhibits a phantom-like behavior and the dynamical evolution of the radion field to its stable value marks the exit from the phantom phase as well as the inflationary era simultaneously. We show that the amalgamation and synergy of the radion potential along with its kinetic term can not only trigger the inflationary scenario but also provide a successful exit from the same while maintaining concordance with current observation.

We show as an example that the observed low frequency (160 MHz) emission of the Crab pulsar is incompatible to the model of extended pair production. Our results rule out significant pair production if a plasma process is responsible for coherence and the radio emission originates from inside the light cylinder.

description: Screw feeder performance is a critical aspect in continuous manufacturing processes. Pharmaceutical excipients, such as mannitol, microcrystalline cellulose, lactose monohydrate, and anhydrous dibasic calcium phosphate can present problems in ensuring a continuous stable feed rate due to their sub-optimal flow properties. In alignment with Quality by Design (QbD) goals, the aim of this work was to identify and explain critical sources of variability of some powder excipients delivery by screw feeding, in particular to continuous processing lines. Pharmaceutical excipients with a wide range of material properties were selected, and the impact of their flow and density properties on screw feeder performance was investigated. The analysis of the powder conveying by the screws was performed at different hopper fills and different screw speeds. A multivariable model involving bulk density (CBD) and parameters from FT4 dynamic downwards testing (SI) and dynamic upwards testing (SE) explained 95.7% of excipients feed rates (p

description: Extreme precipitation events have become more frequent over the last several decades, and projections from Global Climate or General Circulation Models (GCMs) suggest that this trend will continue throughout the 21st century due to climate change. Stormwater systems designed in urbanareas to manage precipitation on roadways and protect residents during rainfall events were designed using historical rainfall information that does not reflect observed trends nor future conditions projected by GCMs. Most of these infrastructure systems will continue in service for many more decades, and thus will be exposed to conditions for which they were not designed. Prior research has shown that under climate change, existing stormwater infrastructure might not provide the expected level of protection because of increases in the intensity and frequency of rainfallextremes. Research is needed to understand to what extent and under which conditions are existing and proposed stormwater systems vulnerable to climate change, and what engineered and natural solutions could increase the climate resilience of stormwater systems. Location-specific projected changes in rainfall extremes remain deeply uncertain, sometimes with conflicting change signals fromGCMs projections and numerous downscaling methods to match the spatial resolution required for stormwater engineering design. The type of climate information used and how stakeholders incorporate this information into designs can affect the resilience performance of infrastructure and can result in assets either performing better or worse than originally required or intended.This dissertation contributes to the understanding of the impacts of climate change on stormwater infrastructure assets and advances the exploration of solutions to increase resilience. It characterizes uncertainties in future rainfall projections from commonly-used public sources of downscaled climate projections in an effort to understand stormwater infrastructure climate resilience and preparedness and possible strategies to increase resilience where needed. The research also analyzes the implicationsof data input choices used by local U.S. cities’ climate adaptation plans for infrastructure design decisions. Overall, this research advances the understanding of stormwater infrastructure systems’ vulnerability to climate change and provides valuable and actionable guidance to aid localdecision-makers and stakeholders to increase infrastructure resilience.

description: We present a public suite of weak lensing mock data, extending the Scinet Light Cone Simulations (SLICS) to simulate cross-correlation analyses with different cosmological probes. These mocks include KiDS-450- and LSST-like lensing data, cosmic microwave background lensing maps and simulated spectroscopic surveys that emulate the GAMA, BOSS and 2dFLenS galaxy surveys. With 844 independent realisations, our mocks are optimised for combined-probe covariance estimation, which we illustrate for the case of a joint measurement involving cosmic shear, galaxy-galaxy lensing and galaxy clustering from KiDS-450 and BOSS data. With their high spatial resolution, the SLICS are also optimal for predicting the signal for novel lensing estimators, for the validation of analysis pipelines, and for testing a range of systematic effects such as the impact of neighbour-exclusion bias on the measured tomographic cosmic shear signal. For surveys like KiDS and DES, where the rejection of neighbouring galaxies occurs within ~2 arcseconds, we show that the measured cosmic shear signal will be biased low, but by less than a percent on the angular scales that are typically used in cosmic shear analyses. The amplitude of the neighbour-exclusion bias doubles in deeper, LSST-like data. The simulation products described in this paper are made available at http://slics.roe.ac.uk/.

Low threshold particle arrays

description: While atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes have a small field of view and a small duty fraction, arrays of particle detectors on ground have a 1\,sr field of view and a 100% duty fraction. On the other hand, particle detector arrays have a much higher energy threshold and an inferior hadron rejection as compared to Cherenkov telescopes. Low threshold particle detector arrays would have potential advantages over Cherenkov telescopes in the search for episodic or unexpected sources of gamma rays in the multi-TeV energy range. Ways to improve the threshold and hadron rejection of arrays are shown, based on existing technology for the timing method (with scintillator or water Cherenkov counters) and the tracking method (with tracking detectors). The performance that could be achieved is shown by examples for both methods. At mountain altitude (about 4000 m or above) an energy threshold close to 1\,TeV could be achieved. For any significant reduction of the hadronic background by selecting muon-poor showers a muon detection area of at least 1000 m$^2$ is required, even for a compact array.

description: An algorithm is developed and tested for the problem posed by photometric observations of the bulge of the Milky Way. The latter subtends a non-trivial solid angle on the sky, and we show that this permits inversion of the projected brightness distribution under the assumption that the bulge has three orthogonal mirror planes of specified orientation. A serious error in the assumed orientation of the mirror planes should be detectable.

description: As cancer survival rates continue to increase, so does the relevance of starting or expanding a family after cancer, impacting quality of life. However, the option of fertility preservation is not always addressed by physicians before treatment. In the meanwhile, many patients look for health information online. Although potentially helpful in the decision-making process, the Internet could also have adverse effects for this vulnerable patient group when information is incorrect. We aimed to assess the availability and quality of information on female oncofertility on websites of (inter)national oncology, fertility and oncofertility organizations. Availability was identified using an original checklist. Quality was measured by reliability (DISCERN and LIDA instruments), usability (LIDA instrument), and readability (Flesch Kincaid Grade Level test). Of all investigated websites, 52% contained information on oncofertility, with 32% containing a stand-alone page. Of those sites, the amount of treatment options covered were equivalent between specialty sites and general fertility and oncology sites (p = 0.07). The quality of information on treatment choices was the highest for oncofertility websites. Reliability and usability did not differ significantly between websites. No websites evaluated were at the recommended 7th–8th grade reading level. Availability and quality should be improved, and high-quality resources are recommended by physicians.
The Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect

description: The Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect causes a change in the apparent brightness of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation towards a cluster of galaxies or any other reservoir of hot plasma. Measurements of the effect provide distinctly different information about cluster properties than X-ray imaging data, while combining X-ray and Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect data leads to new insights into the structures of cluster atmospheres. The effect is redshift-independent, and so provides a unique probe of the structure of the Universe on the largest scales. The present review discusses the theory of the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect and collects published results for many clusters, presents the overall conclusions that may be drawn from the detections so far, and discusses the prospects for future research on the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effects.

description: Today’s world is almost impossible without plastics. From the last century, plastics appeared as a magical material for its wonderful and unparalleled physical and chemical properties. But right now plastics become the largest challenge for human kind and overall ecosystem for its non-biodegradability properties. Normally, plastic items take up to 1000 years to decompose in landfills. Synthetic fabrics like polyester, spandex, nylon take between 20 to 200 years to degrade. Last year the world consumed 360 million metric tons of petroleum-based plastics. Where the textileindustry is the 3rd largest industry consuming above 60 million metric tons of syntheticplastics alone. To solve this massive challenge bioplastic becoming a substitute forpetroleum-based plastics. In general, though bioplastics refer to those synthetic or biopolymers which is biodegradable in nature. In the last few decades, scientists are working hard to develop a strong substitute. Polylactic acid (PLA),Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are one of the good results of successive research. These both bioplastics have the potential to replace polyester and nylon, which are the most used synthetic materials in textile (approximately 70%) together. In this research the comparative analysis of polyester, Nylon, and PLA, PHA has shown. Individual characteristics of PLA and PHA exhibited that despite having potentiality, they still have so many flaws to be a substitute for polyester or nylon. PLA has good strength but still have very low glass transition temperature, PHA shows the same problem. Besides that, high manufacturing cost, poor mechanical properties, limited functionalities etc. have made it more challenging. Prior research work tried to be explored in detail. In the end, the further research possibility by blending different fibers mechanism has been proposed as well as the required testing methodology and potentiality described.
On the deprojection of axisymmetric bodies

description: Axisymmetric density distributions are constructed which are invisible when viewed from a range of inclination angles $i$. By adding such distributions to a model galaxy, it can be made either disky or boxy without in any way affecting its projected image. As the inclination of a galaxy decreases from edge-on to face on, the range of `invisible' densities, the uncertainty in the deprojection, and the sensitivity of the deprojection to noise all increase. The relation between these phenomena is clarified by an analysis of Palmer's deprojection algorithm. These results imply that disk-to-bulge ratios are in principle ill-determined from photometry unless the disk is strong or the system is seen precisely edge-on. The uncertain role of third integrals in galaxies makes it unclear to what degree this indeterminacy can be resolved by kinematic studies.

description: The distribution function of the relative velocity in a two-body reaction of nonrelativistic uncorrelated particles is derived for general cases of given distribution functions of single particle velocities. The distribution function is then used in calculations of thermonuclear reaction rates. As an example, we take the Tsallis non-Maxwellian distribution, and show that the distribution function of the relative velocity is different from the Tsallis distribution. We identify an inconsistency in previous studies of nuclear reaction rates within Tsallis statistics, and derive revised nuclear reaction rates. Utilizing the revised rates, accurate results of big bang nucleosynthesis are obtained for the Tsallis statistics. For this application it is more difficult to reduce the primordial 7Li abundance while keeping other nuclear abundances within the observational constraints. A small deviation from a Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution can increase the D abundance and slightly reduce 7Li abundance. Although it is impossible to realize a 7Li abundance at the level observed in metal-poor stars, a significant decrease is possible while maintaining a consistency with the observed D abundance.
