description: Similar to other high quality crystalline absorbers, an accurate knowledge of surface passivation of crystalline Germanium (c-Ge) substrates is crucial for a straightforward improvement of photovoltaic device performance. For crystalline silicon devices, this information is typically obtained by quasisteady state photoconductance (QSS-PC) technique using Sinton WCT-120 tool. In this work, we explore the conditions to adapt this measurement technique to c-Ge substrates. Based on PC-1D simulations, we deduce that a minimum effective lifetime is needed corresponding to an effective diffusion length equal to the substrate thickness. Apart from this, an accurate estimation of the total photogeneration inside the c-Ge sample is also mandatory. This condition implies that the light intensity that impinges onto the sample must be measured with a c-Ge sensor, although the integrated c-Si sensor can be used for high flash intensities. Additionally, the optical factor used to evaluate sample reflectance must be also known, which is determined by measuring robust effective lifetime values under photoconductance decay conditions. Finally, knowledge about carrier mobility in c-Ge is also necessary to translate the measured photoconductance to the corresponding excess carrier density values. Lifetime measurements of passivated c-Ge substrates done by QSS-PC technique are validated by comparing them with the ones obtained by microwave photoconductance technique.

description: We present the first results of directional point-contact measurements in Mg_{1-x}Mn_{x}B_2 single crystals, with x up to 0.015 and bulk T_c down to 13.3 K. The order parameters Delta_{sigma} and Delta_{pi} were obtained by fitting the conductance curves with the two-band Blonder-Tinkham-Klapwijk (BTK) model. Both Delta_{pi} and Delta_{sigma} decrease with the critical temperature of the junctions T_c^A, but remain clearly distinct up to the highest Mn content. Once analyzed within the Eliashberg theory, the results indicate that spin-flip scattering is dominant in the sigma band, as also confirmed by first-principle band structure calculations.

description: This study focuses on estimating determinants of wages across primary, secondary and tertiary sectors in rural India by the type of work contract involved. Casual labourers, with short term work contracts and nearly absent benefits and wage employees, with long term work contracts, higher wages and benefits represent dual sections of the labour market. Here we demonstrate that human capital and other factors that has been proven to explain variation in wages in other labour markets, explain little about wages in casual employment sector. Further, pattern of returns to education for casual labourers were found to decrease with increasing educational levels and was negative for higher education. Such a trend was no t noticed among wage employees, where pattern that was similar with other studies focusing on the whole labour market.
The impacts of soil compaction on irrigation and drainage of golf course
Creators: name: Zhang, Wenxiu
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Soil compaction caused by heavy play is a serious problem in golf course as it affects nearly all properties and functions of soil, physical, chemical as well as biological, which in turn cerate irrigation and drainage problems and influence the healthy growth of turfgrass. However, knowledge regarding the interactive effects of play intensity and soil moisture status on irrigation, drainage and turfgrass growth is still lacking. The objectives of this study are to examine the interactive effects of play intensity and soil moisture levels on some important irrigation and drainage parameters and turfgrass growth, and to evaluate the impact of soil compaction on water quality in terms of nitrate concentration. A green house study was carried out under simulated soil compaction on golf course fairway. Three play intensity level treatments and three soil moisture level treatments were tested. The results showed that the state of soil compaction not only is largely influenced by traffic intensity, but also is closely related to soil water content. Hence control of traffic and soil moisture is equally important for minimizing soil compaction. This investigation clearly demonstrated that soil compaction significantly changes the soil hydraulic properties, the infiltration, hydraulic conductivity and drainable porosity, and has adverse effects on irrigation and drainage. Both shoot and root growth declined as a result of soil compaction. It was observed that root biomass of turfgrass was reduced by as much as 47 to 75 percent under soil compaction condition when compared to non-compaction. Soil compaction is very detrimental to root growth. The study revealed that favorable soil water content for turfgrass shoot growth depends on traffic intensity. For heavy play golf course, maintaining adequate low soil moisture is more favorable to turfgrass growth. This study found that N0₃⁻ concentration in leachate increased as a result of soil compaction. However, the detected N0₃⁻ concentration under soil compaction was still extremely low, well below the drink water requirement.

description: The symmetry energy and the isoscaling properties of the fragments produced in the multifragmentation of $^{40}$Ar, $^{40}$Ca + $^{58}$Fe, $^{58}$Ni reactions at 25 - 53 MeV/nucleon were investigated within the framework of statistical multifragmentation model. The isoscaling parameters $α$, from the primary (hot) and secondary (cold) fragment yield distributions, were studied as a function of excitation energy, isospin (neutron-to-proton asymmetry) and fragment symmetry energy. It is observed that the isoscaling parameter $α$ decreases with increasing excitation energy and decreasing symmetry energy. The parameter $α$ is also observed to increase with increasing difference in the isospin of the fragmenting system. The sequential decay of the primary fragments into secondary fragments, when studied as a function of excitation energy and isospin of the fragmenting system, show very little influence on the isoscaling parameter. The symmetry energy however, has a strong influence on the isospin properties of the hot fragments. The experimentally observed scaling parameters can be explained by symmetry energy that is significantly lower than that for the ground state nuclei near saturation density. The results indicate that the properties of hot nuclei at excitation energies, densities and isospin away from the normal ground state nuclei could be significantly different.

description: The investigation of factors contributing at making humans trust Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) will play a fundamental role in the adoption of such technology. The user's ability to form a mental model of the AV, which is crucial to establish trust, depends on effective user-vehicle communication; thus, the importance of Human-Machine Interaction (HMI) is poised to increase. In this work, we propose a methodology to validate the user experience in AVs based on continuous, objective information gathered from physiological signals, while the user is immersed in a Virtual Reality-based driving simulation. We applied this methodology to the design of a head-up display interface delivering visual cues about the vehicle' sensory and planning systems. Through this approach, we obtained qualitative and quantitative evidence that a complete picture of the vehicle's surrounding, despite the higher cognitive load, is conducive to a less stressful experience. Moreover, after having been exposed to a more informative interface, users involved in the study were also more willing to test a real AV. The proposed methodology could be extended by adjusting the simulation environment, the HMI and/or the vehicle's Artificial Intelligence modules to dig into other aspects of the user experience.

description: China is a key player in global agricultural markets, and the number one importer of U.S. soybeans and cotton, whereby soybeans and cotton are two of the main biotech commodities commercialized in the United States. As of 2005, 87% of soybeans and 79% of cotton planted in the U.S. were biotech. Thus, changes in China's biotech policies may have a significant impact on U.S. biotech commodity exports to China. An understanding of the evolution of China's biotech regulations and factors that may influence China's future biotech policies is crucial for both U.S. producers and policymakers. This article introduces the development of China's biotech regulations in detail. Focusing on soybeans and cotton, the impact of China's biotech policy changes on U.S. trade with China are examined. Results indicate that changes in China's biotech policies in 2001 did cause delay of U.S. soybean exports to China in the short-run, immediately after China's policies were announced. However, no long term impacts on U.S. soybean exports to China were found. For cotton, a non-food commodity and China's dominant commercialized biotech commodity, it appears that U.S. cotton exports to China were not affected by China's biotech policies.

Experiences of stigma and the risk of HIV and other HIV related outcomes among men who have sex with men (MSM) in the United States
Creators: name: Babel, Riddhi A.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM) are the population most affected by HIV in the United States. When we look at geographic regions across the United States, among persons living with HIV, the largest percentage of persons with undiagnosed HIV infection is in the Midwest (15.4%), followed by the South (15.1%), West (14.4%), and Northeast (9.5%). Although stigma has been well documented among MSM, the literature is largely fragmented in the United States, on the risk of HIV infection, access to prevention, care and treatment services, and its associated health outcomes. Studies have been conducted to assess the prevalence of these undisclosed infections however, at present, there is no published study comparing and evaluating the association of stigma and undiagnosed HIV infections among MSM across the major cities in United States. Specific aims of this dissertation are: (1) To do a scoping review of the literature that documents links between stigma and the risk of HIV, access to HIV prevention, care and treatment services, and related health outcomes in key population specifically among HIV-positive and HIV-negative MSM in the United States; (2) To assess the proportion and distribution of undiagnosed HIV infection in MSM and to further examine the aggregate relationship between experienced stigma, perceived HIV stigma and undiagnosed HIV infections among this high-risk population while making comparisons among 8 different tiered cities in the United States; (3) Based on the results from the second study, to then compare the demographic characteristics and risk factors of two diverse cities in the United States in order to identify whether location/ social context and stigma play a role in undiagnosed HIV infections among MSM.

description: We study the sympathetic cooling of a trapped Fermi gas interacting with an ideal Bose gas below the critical temperature of the Bose-Einstein condensation. We derive the quantum master equation, which describes the dynamics of the fermionic component, and postulating the thermal distribution for both gases we calculate analytically the rate at which fermions are cooled by the bosonic atoms. The particle losses constitute an important source of heating of the degenerate Fermi gas. We evaluate the rate of loss-induced heating and derive analytical results for the final temperature of fermions, which is limited in the presence of particle losses.

description: We study the nonequilibrium dynamics of an ultracold, non-degenerate dipolar gas of $^{164}$Dy atoms in a cylindrically symmetric harmonic trap. To do so, we investigate the normal modes and linear response of the gas when driven by means of periodic modulations to the trap axial-frequency. We find that the resonant response of the gas depends strongly on the dipole alignment axis, owing to anisotropies in the differential cross section of the atoms. We employ the use of the method of averages as well as numerical Monte Carlo methods for our analysis. A striking result is that certain normal modes, termed "melting modes", initiated in an anisotropic out-of-equilibrium configuration, relax to equilibrium without oscillating.

description: Based on China's Agricultural Regional Market Equilibrium Model (CARMEM), the paper projects the production and consumption of rice, wheat and maize in China toward 2010 at both national and regional level under two different scenarios. The results show that China can ensure a stable grain market development under more liberalized internal and external conditions. Transmission of the world market prices as projected by the World Bank (2003) to the Chinese domestic market would lead to a long-run recovery of the growth in grain production. Total production of paddy rice, wheat and maize is forecast to increase from 386 million tons in the base period 2002 to over 420 million tons in 2010. However, the rate of grain self-supply will be 91% due to higher demand. This may be significantly lower than the target of the Chinese government. The corresponding deficit would amount to about 35 million tons, to be compared with 38.5 million tons in 2002 when China had huge grain stocks available. Three fifths of the grain deficit is wheat. China would also become a net importer of maize. The regional results indicate an increasing grain deficit in East and South China. Northeast and North China will achieve higher production growth mainly due to a rapid increase in maize production. The Central South will be able to increase production faster than consumption. The Southwest and Northwest will maintain their current deficit. Finally, some implications for future Chinese grain policies are discussed.

A more precise value of the mass of $^{168}$Yb is needed to extract possible signatures of beyond standard model physics from high-precision isotope shift measurements of Yb atomic transition frequencies. The measured mass-excess value, ME($^{168}$Yb) = $-$61579.846(94) keV, is 12 times more precise and deviates from the Atomic Mass Evaluation 2016 value by 1.7$σ$. The impact on precision isotope shift studies of the stable Yb isotopes is discussed.

description: The purpose of this study was to estimate the impact of the major factors affecting the export demand for U.S. almonds in Asia and the E.U. which together import about 93% of U.S. almond exports. The primary objective pertained to the impacts of federal promotion programs on the foreign demand for U.S. almonds. Based on previous literature, a single-equation framework was specified for estimation of the almond model. Based on promotion elasticities, impacts on almond export revenue from promotion were evaluated. The marginal return per dollar to decreasing promotion expenditures for almonds was $47.74 for Asia, reflecting prudent promotion expenditures for more efficient utilization of promotion funds as the Asian market for U.S. almonds approaches maturity. The E.U. appears to be a mature market for U.S. almond exports with no detectable responsiveness to promotion expenditures. Thus, simple reminder-type promotion activities for this market may be sufficient.

description: We present new constraints on the initial mass spectrum of the Galactic Old Halo globular clusters. This has remained poorly-known so far, as both an initial power-law mass spectrum and an initial lognormal mass function could have evolved into the presently observed globular cluster mass distribution, making the initial contribution of now lost low-mass objects ill-determined. Our approach consists in comparing the evolution with time of both the radial mass density profile and the number density profile of the globular cluster system. Using the analytical expression established by Vesperini & Heggie for the temporal evolution of the mass of a globular cluster on a circular orbit in a stable Galactic potential, we evolve the mass and number density profiles of many putative globular cluster systems, each starting with different initial cluster mass spectrum and initial cluster space-density. We then compare the modelled profiles with those of the Old Halo cluster system in order to investigate which system(s) provide(s) the best consistency with the data. (abridged)

description: Increasing volumes of apple juice concentrate imports from China into the U.S. began in the mid 90s as a result of low Chinese prices. In 1999, the U.S. Apple Association launched a complaint with the US International Trade Commission (USITC) regarding the Chinese price strategy. During the course of investigation, the U.S. Apple Association requested that the Department of Agricultural Economics at Washington State University analyze the impact on the total value of juice apples utilized in Washington during the span of the USITC investigation. To determine the magnitude of the effect of the USITC investigation, not only on finished apple juice prices but also on the Washington raw product price, an inverse demand for finished product and an input demand function for raw product was developed and parametrically estimated. Results from a derived demand analysis for juice apples revealed that a decrease in Chinese apple juice price reduced the prices paid by the processing sector by approximately 0.07 percent. However, throughout the course of the investigation process, juice apple prices increased significantly, resulting in an increase in the value of the juice apples purchased by processors of approximately USS 35,831,024 million dollars (April 1999 through May 2000).

description: Observations show that the coronal X-ray emission of the Sun and other stars depends on the surface magnetic field. Using power-law scaling relations between different physical parameters, we build an analytical model to connect the observed X-ray emission to the magnetic flux. The basis for our model are the scaling laws of Rosner, Tucker \& Vaiana (RTV) that connect the temperature and pressure of a coronal loop to its length and energy input. To estimate the energy flux into the upper atmosphere, we use scalings derived for different heating mechanisms, e.g. for field-line braiding or Alfven-wave heating. We supplement this by observed relations between active region size and magnetic flux and derive scalings of how X-ray emissivity depends on temperature. Based on our analytical model, we find a power-law dependence of the X-ray emission on the magnetic flux, $L_{\rm X}\propto Φ^m$, with a power-law index $m$ being in the range from about 1 to 2. This finding is consistent with a wide range of observations, from individual features on the Sun, e.g. bright points or active regions, to stars of different types and varying levels of activity. The power-law index $m$ depends on the choice of the heating mechanism, and our results slightly favour the braiding and nanoflare scenarios over Alfvén wave heating. In addition, the choice of instrument will have an impact on the power-law index $m$, which is because of the sensitivity of the observed wavelength region to the temperature of the coronal plasma. Overall, our simple analytical model based on the RTV scaling laws gives a good representation of the observed X-ray emission. This underlines that we might be able to understand stellar coronal activity though a collection of basic building blocks, i.e. loops, that we can study in spatially resolved detail on the Sun.

description: The matter power spectrum at comoving scales of (1-40) h^{-1} Mpc is very sensitive to the presence of Warm Dark Matter (WDM) particles with large free streaming lengths. We present constraints on the mass of WDM particles from a combined analysis of the matter power spectrum inferred from the large samples of high resolution high signal-to-noise Lyman-alpha forest data of Kim et al. (2004) and Croft et al. (2002) and the cosmic microwave background data of WMAP. We obtain a lower limit of m_wdm > 550 eV (2 sigma for early decoupled thermal relics and m_wdm > 2.0 keV (2 sigma) for sterile neutrinos. We also investigate the case where in addition to cold dark matter a light thermal gravitino with fixed effective temperature contributes significantly to the matter density. In that case the gravitino density is proportional to its mass, and we find an upper limit m_{3/2} < 16 eV (2 sigma). This translates into a bound on the scale of supersymmetry breaking, Lambda_{susy} < 260 TeV, for models of supersymmetric gauge mediation in which the gravitino is the lightest supersymmetric particle.

description: Technology-driven change is everywhere and value-capture from new technology is challenging for business managers. Also rival firms may use technology as part of major success strategies. This situation leads managers to be keenly interested in evaluation of alternative technologies prior to making a sunk investment in physical facilities. In contemplating new or added-capacity processing facilities, managers and investors must evaluate return on investment (ROI). Evaluation of ROI is complex because it varies by alternative technology and the resultant potential product mix alternatives associated with that technology at the time the investment capital is committed to build the processing plant. This research examines optimal alternative product mix from a processing plant technology that is fixed at the time of commitment to building or adding capacity. Evaluating the optimal product mix is of vital concern in any start-up processing environment. In this research the optimal product mix is evaluated by using a sophisticated evaluative tool known as PowerSim. This economic simulation software is used to model a start-up tomato processing plant in Ohio. The model evaluates the effects of various output, or tomato product mix, on plant profitability measured by ROI. Results indicate that an increase in plant profitability is expected when the tomato product mix consists of products that have a lower soluble solids concentration. The lower the soluble solids concentration of a tomato product, the less the processor will benefit from tomato varieties with high soluble solids. The processing operation achieves a RIO of 26.5 percent when the plant's product mix is 50 percent tomato paste (31 degrees brix) and 50 percent diced tomatoes. This product mix optimizes processor net income and realizes a plant return on equity of 50.6 percent.

Thermodynamics and rheology of partially miscible polymer blends
Creators: name: Chopra, Divya
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: The phase behaviour of two partially miscible binary polymer blend systems was investigated using rheological, optical, turbidimetric and light-scattering techniques. Rheological techniques included the evaluation of linear and non-linear rheology using parallel plate, sliding plate and capillary rheometry. The two systems comprised a) a model upper critical solution temperature mixture of varying M[sub w] (4.3-162 kg/mol) poly(dimethylsiloxane) and high molecular weight (M[sub w] = 83.8 kg/mol) poly(ethylmethylsiloxane) [PDMS/PEMS]; and b) a lower critical solution temperature mixture of high M[sub w] (100-200 kg/mol) poly(styrene-co-maleic anhydride) and poly(methyl methacrylate) [SMA/PMMA] with SMA component having 8%, 14% and 32% by weight maleic anhydride content (MA). The Theologically determined phase separation temperature was marked by changes in the temperature dependence of the elastic moduli at constant frequency and of the stresses at constant shear rate. Failure of time-temperature superposition in frequency sweeps in the linear region was also observed. The phase diagrams of the blends were modeled by using a temperature dependent expression for the interaction parameter of Flory-Huggins theory, based on the concept of generalized Gibbs free energy of mixing. The phase behaviour, morphology and interfacial tension of PDMS/PEMS blends was very sensitive to the molecular weight of the individual components. Miscibility increased and interfacial tension decreased as the molecular weight of PDMS decreased. SMA/PMMA blends containing 14% MA were found to be more miscible than those containing 8% or 32% MA, a finding attributed to the compositional dependence of intermolecular (SMA-SMA) and intramolecular (SMA-PMMA) interactions in the different samples. Shear-induced fibrillar type growth of SMA inclusions in the phase-separated region in the case of SMA/PMMA with 32%MA was established using rheological tools.

description: We perform Monte Carlo simulations in a random anisotropy magnet at a intermediate exchange to anisotropy ratio. We focus on the out of equilibrium relaxation after a sudden quenching in the low temperature phase, well below the freezing one. By analyzing both the aging dynamics and the violation of the Fluctuation Dissipation relation we found strong evidence of a spin--glass like behavior. In fact, our results are qualitatively similar to those experimentally obtained recently in a Heisenberg-like real spin glass.

description: 作曲支援に関するシステムの作成については, 今まで多くの研究者によって研究 され成果が発表されている. 既存の研究では, 旋律概形, ピアノ, 加速度センサなど を用いた作曲支援について述べられている. 旋律概形を用いた研究に着目すると北 原らによる旋律概形からメロディ生成するシステム JamSketch は, 描いた旋律概 形を考慮したメロディが出来上がるため, 直観的に作曲することができ, 専門的な 知識を必要としないため, 誰でも簡単に作曲を楽しむことができる. しかし, 現在 のシステムでは, ユーザの意思が作曲に反映される部分は, 旋律概形による音の高 低差のみである. そのため, ユーザの作曲に対する自由度が低いことが問題である. そこで, ユーザがリズムを変更したり音に強弱を付けることができるよう JamSketch を拡張する. ここで, 重要なことは, 直観的に操作できることである. 本稿で は, リズム変更について, 旋律概形におけるリズムを変更したい部分に波線を書く ことで, 波線の大きさによってリズムを定めることとする. 音の強弱の変更につい ては, 筆圧の感知が可能なタブレットを使うことを前提とし, 筆圧により強弱を決 めることとする. 本稿では, 拡張した 2 つの機能の有効性を被験者実験を通じて明らかにする. 本 システムを初めて使ったときに使いこなせるかどうかと, ある程度使いこなせるよ うになったときにどのような振る舞いをするかを明らかにするため, 実験1と実験 2に分けて実験を行った. 2つの機能を短期間のうちに同時に使いこなすようにな ることは難しいと予想されることから, それぞれの機能に対する実験は別々に行っ た. すなわち, リズム機能の有り条件と無し条件を比較する際には筆圧機能は無効にし, 筆圧機能の有り条件と無し条件を比較する際にはリズム機能は無効にした. 実験 1 では, リズム機能の有り条件と無し条件の両方において, 1回ずつ被験者 に作曲をしてもらい, さらに, 実験者の指示通りに被験者が作曲を行った. 筆圧機能 の有り条件と無し条件においても同様である. リズム機能の実験において, Q1(線 の描き方を変えることでリズムを変更することは思い通りにいきましたか), Q2(自 分の思い通りにリズムにメリハリを付けることができましたか), Q3(描いた線は思 い通りのリズムになりましたか) に対して「強くそう思う」と答えた被験者がおら ず, 「そう思う」と答えた被験者が 3 名以下であったことから, 5 分という短い時 間内でリズム機能を使いこなすようになるのは難しかったと考えられる. 筆圧機 能の実験においては, Q1(筆圧により描く線の太さを変えることで音の強弱を付け ることは容易でしたか), Q2(自分の思い通りに線の太さを変更することはできまし たか), Q3(自分が描いた線の太さは, 思い通りの音の大きさになりましたか) では 「強くそう思う」または「そう思う」と答えた被験者が半数以下であったことから, リズムに比べると, 意図通りの筆圧で旋律概形の太さを制御し, 音量を調節するこ とは, 容易であったと考えられる. 実験 2 では, リズム機能の有り条件と無し条件の両方において, 交互に 3 回ずつ 被験者に作曲をしてもらった. 筆圧機能の有り条件と無し条件においても同様であ る. 「意図通りの演奏ができましたか」という質問において, リズム変更機能無し と音の強弱変更機能無し 1 回目から 3 回目は, 「強くそう思う」「そう思う」と回答 した人の合計がいずれも過半数をしめていたことから, 1 回目から一定程度本シス テムを使いこなせていたと考えることができる.これより, 初めから全ての人が本 人の意思通りに音の高低差を付けることができていると分かった. しかし, 「演奏 を聞いてみて気に入りましたか」という質問において, リズム機能有りでは, 「強 くそう思う」「そう思う」と回答した人の合計が 1 回目 50%から 3 回目が 70%に増 加していることより, 本人が気に入る旋律を作成することは, 回数を重ねるごとに 上手になると考えられる. リズムの変更機能において, 「意図通りの演奏ができましたか」という質問の評価が回数を重ねても上がらなかったことから, 3 回程度の 試行では, 波線の大きさを変更することによってリズムを変更することは, 難しい と考えられる. しかし, 10 人中 2 人は回数をこなすたびに上達したとアンケートに 答えていたことにより, 本人が気に入る旋律は回を重ねるごとに作ることができる と考えられる. 本システムは, 使いこなせているが思い通りの演奏にならないと答 えた被験者が 10 人中 3 人いた. しかし, リズムの変更を旋律概形に表すことはで きるが本人の気に入った旋律を作ることができていないと考えられる. 音の強弱の 変更機能は, 「意図通りの演奏ができましたか」という質問の 1 回目が 60%, 3 回 目が 70%より, 筆圧の調整は回を重ねるごとに使えるようになる. さらに, 適切な メロディ生成もできるようになる. 以上より, リズム変更機能によって, ユーザの 意思通りの旋律概形を作成することができることは示せたが, ユーザの気に入った 旋律を生成することは不十分であった. 筆圧機能によって, 回を重ねるとユーザの 意思通りに筆圧を調整することができ, ユーザの気に入った演奏ができることを示した.

description: In this article, we investigate the dynamical robustness in a network of relaxation oscillators. In particular, we consider a network of diffusively coupled Van der Pol oscillators to explore the aging transition phenomena. Our investigation reveals that the mechanism of aging transition in a network of Van der Pol oscillator is quite different from that of typical sinusoidal oscillators such as Stuart-Landau oscillators. Unlike sinusoidal oscillators, the order parameter does not follow the second-order phase transition. Rather we observe an abnormal phase transition of the order parameter due to sudden unbounded trajectories at a critical point. We call it a dangerous aging transition. We provide details bifurcation analysis of such abnormal phase transition. We show that the boundary crisis of a limit-cycle oscillator is at the helm of such a dangerous aging transition.
