The Role of Stars in the Energetics of LINERs

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Imaging studies have shown that about 25% of LINER galaxies display a compact nuclear UV source. I compare the HST ultraviolet spectra now available for seven such ``UV-bright'' LINERs. The spectra of NGC 404, NGC 4569, and NGC 5055 show clear absorption-line signatures of massive stars, indicating a stellar origin for the UV continuum. Similar features are probably present in NGC 6500. The same stellar signatures may be present but undetectable in NGC 4594, due to the low signal-to-noise ratio of the spectrum, and in M81 and NGC 4579, due to superposed strong, broad emission lines. The compact central UV continuum source that is observed in these galaxies is a nuclear star cluster rather than a low-luminosity active galactic nucleus (AGN), at least in some cases. At least four of the LINERs suffer from an ionizing photon deficit, in the sense that the ionizing photon flux inferred from the observed far-UV continuum is insufficient to drive the optical H I recombination lines. Examination of the nuclear X-ray flux of each galaxy shows a high X-ray/UV ratio in the four ``UV-photon starved'' LINERs. In these four objects, a separate component, emitting predominantly in the extreme-UV, is the likely ionizing agent, and is perhaps unrelated to the observed nuclear UV emission. Future observations can determine whether the UV continuum in LINERs is always dominated by a starburst or, alternatively, that there are two types of UV-bright LINERs: starburst-dominated and AGN-dominated. Interestingly, recent results show that starbursts dominate the nuclear energetics in many Seyfert 2s as well.

description: [transcription] A Aix ce 3 mars 1783

On vous doit, Monsieur, l'hommage de tout ce qu'on découvre de curieux en antiquité. On me mande que dans le terroir de Mollon, village de Dauphiné qui avoisine mes terres, un paysan a découvert une grotte assez vaste où il y avait trois ou quatre cents cadavres ayant à côté d'eux des espèces de couteaux de pierre à fusil. Cet homme s'est pressé de briser tous ces ossements et tous ces couteaux, espérant de trouver quelque pièce d'argent, de sorte qu'il ne reste plus que des fragments de ces armes. On m'en a envoyé un qui a quatre pouces de longueur sur un pouce de largeur. Le bout en est pointu et recourbé. Ce couteau était triangulaire. Il paraît avoir été poli à la meule. Il y a 2 côtés qui sont tranchants. Cette découverte paraît appartenir aux temps les plus reculés et avant que l'usage du fer fut connu des habitans de ce pays. Je vous prie de vouloir bien me dire ce que vous en pensez. Je prends encore la liberté de vous consulter sur une médaille de moyen bronze qui m'est tombée depuis quelques temps dans les mains. On lit d'un côté ANTΩ/ YΠΑ/ Γ

Cette légende est assez distincte, à l'Y près dont on ne distingue que les deux branches. La légende du revers n'est pas à beaucoup près aussi lisible. Voici tout ce qu'on y peut distinguer. BA.... / ΘΕΑ/ N....

Les deux côtés de cette médaille ne contiennent aucune figure ny aucun ornement. Je n'ai rien trouvé dans les livres qui put me fournir d'éclaircissement à ce sujet. Selon mes faibles lumières je la crois antique. Pardonnez-moi Monsieur mon importunité. Les marques de bonté que vous me donnez en toute occasion m'encouragent. Vous réunissez tout à la fois les plus grandes lumières et le caractère le plus communicatif. Soyez persuadé de ma tendre reconnaissance et du respectueux attachement avec lequel je serai toute ma vie, Monsieur, votre très humble et très obéissant serviteur.

Subjects: subject: Cryptography and Security (cs.CR)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Blockchain-based cryptocurrencies secure a decentralized consensus protocol by incentives. The protocol participants, called miners, generate (mine) a series of blocks, each containing monetary transactions created by system users. As incentive for participation, miners receive newly minted currency and transaction fees paid by transaction creators. Blockchain bandwidth limits lead users to pay increasing fees in order to prioritize their transactions. However, most prior work focused on models where fees are negligible. In a notable exception, Carlsten et al. postulated in CCS'16 that if incentives come only from fees then a mining gap would form~--- miners would avoid mining when the available fees are insufficient. In this work, we analyze cryptocurrency security in realistic settings, taking into account all elements of expenses and rewards. To study when gaps form, we analyze the system as a game we call \emph{the gap game}. We analyze the game with a combination of symbolic and numeric analysis tools in a wide range of scenarios. Our analysis confirms Carlsten et al.'s postulate; indeed, we show that gaps form well before fees are the only incentive, and analyze the implications on security. Perhaps surprisingly, we show that different miners choose different gap sizes to optimize their utility, even when their operating costs are identical. Alarmingly, we see that the system incentivizes large miner coalitions, reducing system decentralization. We describe the required conditions to avoid the incentive misalignment, providing guidelines for future cryptocurrency design.

description: We analyze the primordial protogalactic gas to investigate the role of thermal instabilities in the formation of condensations that could contribute to the MACHO mass function. We find that the previrialized protogalaxy could have undergone a thermally unstable regime which defines a peak in mass condensations starting around $0.1 \, M_{\odot}$ after being reprocessed by the environment which may be identified as giving origin to the MACHOs. Effects of magnetic fields on this instability-driven MACHOs scenario are also addressed.

description: In this paper we study cluster synchronization in networks of oscillators with heterogenous Kuramoto dynamics, where multiple groups of oscillators with identical phases coexist in a connected network. Cluster synchronization is at the basis of several biological and technological processes; yet the underlying mechanisms to enable cluster synchronization of Kuramoto oscillators have remained elusive. In this paper we derive quantitative conditions on the network weights, cluster configuration, and oscillators' natural frequency that ensure asymptotic stability of the cluster synchronization manifold; that is, the ability to recover the desired cluster synchronization configuration following a perturbation of the oscillators' states. Qualitatively, our results show that cluster synchronization is stable when the intra-cluster coupling is sufficiently stronger than the inter-cluster coupling, the natural frequencies of the oscillators in distinct clusters are sufficiently different, or, in the case of two clusters, when the intra-cluster dynamics is homogeneous. We illustrate and validate the effectiveness of our theoretical results via numerical studies.

description: General relativity (GR) is a highly successful theory that describes gravity as a geometric phenomenon. The gravitational redshift, a classic test of GR, can potentially be violated in alternative gravity theories, and experimental tests on this effect are crucial for our understanding of gravity. In this paper, considering the space-ground clock comparisons with free-space links, we discuss a high-precision Doppler cancellation-based measurement model for testing gravitational redshift. This model can effectively reduce various sources of error and noise, reducing the influences of the first-order Doppler effect, atmospheric delay, Shapiro delay, etc. China's Lunar Exploration Project (CLEP) is proposed to equip the deep-space H maser with a daily stability of $2\times10^{-15}$, which provides an approach for testing gravitational redshift. Based on the simulation, we analyze the space-ground clock comparison experiments of the CLEP experiment, and simulation analysis demonstrates that under ideal condition of high-precision measurement of the onboard H-maser frequency offset and drift, the CLEP experiment may reach the uncertainty of $3.7\times10^{-6}$ after a measurement session of 60 days. Our results demonstrate that if the issue of frequency offset and drift is solved, CLEP missions have a potential of testing the gravitational redshift with high accuracy.

description: We can easily learn and perform a variety of movements that fundamentally require complex neuromuscular control. Many empirical findings demonstrated that a wide range of complex muscle activation patterns could be well captured by the combination of a few functional modules, the so-called muscle synergies. Modularity represented by muscle synergies would simplify the control of a redundant neuromuscular system. However, how the reduction of neuromuscular redundancy through a modular controller contributes to sensorimotor learning remains unclear. To clarify such roles, we constructed a simple neural network model of the motor control system that included three intermediate layers representing neurons in the primary motor cortex, spinal interneurons organized into modules and motoneurons controlling upper-arm muscles. After a model learning period to generate the desired shoulder and/or elbow joint torques, we compared the adaptation to a novel rotational perturbation between modular and non-modular models. A series of simulations demonstrated that the modules reduced the effect of the bias in the distribution of muscle pulling directions, as well as in the distribution of torques associated with individual cortical neurons, which led to a more rapid adaptation to multi-directional force generation. These results suggest that modularity is crucial not only for reducing musculoskeletal redundancy but also for overcoming mechanical bias due to the musculoskeletal geometry allowing for faster adaptation to certain external environments.

description: We propose a new mechanism for high energy gamma ray burst in Supernova type I (SNI) explosion. Presupernova is assumed to be a binary system comprised of a red giant and a white dwarf with a wind accretion. The accretion flow terminates by the accretion shock in the vicinity of the white dwarf at the distance of the order of the accretion radius. The gas inside the accretion radius constitutes the main body of a target for gamma ray production by $pp$ collisions.\par The supernova explosion and the shock propagation in the white dwarf result in the hydrodynamical acceleration of the outer layers of the star. The spectrum of accelerated particles is steep and the maximum energy does not exceed $1000$ $GeV$.\par The gamma ray burst is produced due to interaction of the accelerated particles with the gas in the binary system. Most of the photons have energies about $100$ $MeV$, the total number of the emitted photons is between $10^{46}$ and $10^{47}$. The gamma ray burst might have one or two precursors. The first one is produced during the shock breakout when the shock approaches the star surface and crosses it.\par The calculations are valid in the case of a weak magnetic field. The case of strong magnetic field will be considered in part II (in preparation).

description: The design of hardware platform in acoustic sensing is critical. The number and the spatial arrangement of microphones play a huge role in sensing performance. All microphones should be properly processed for simultaneous recording. This work introduces an FPGA-based acoustic transceiver system supporting acoustic sensing with custom acoustic signals. The system contains 16 microphones and a speaker synchronized during sensing processes. The microphones were arranged into an ‘L’ shape with eight microphones on each line for a better resolution of angle estimation on two dimensions. The microphones were placed on a specifically designed PCB to achieve an optimal distance of the half-wavelength of acoustic signals for optimized sensing performance. A microphone interface was implemented on Ultra96-V2 FPGA for handling the simultaneous high-speed data streams. The system features an implementation of full-level data transmission up to the top-level Python program. To evaluate the sensing performance of the system, we conducted an experiment used Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) as the transmitted acoustic signal. The result of evaluation shown the accurate sensing of range, velocity and relative angle of a moving hand on the two dimensions corresponding to the microphone groups.

Analysis of Ly $α$ absorption lines in the vicinity of QSOs

description: We have compiled, from the literature, a sample of Ly $α$ forest lines in the spectra of 69 QSOs, all observed with a resolution between 60 to 100 km s$^{-1}$. The sample is studied for proximity effect. We have tried to account for the effect of blending which is inherent in the intermediate resolution sample, by calculating the column density distribution, using an effective velocity dispersion parameter, from the observed equivalent width distribution. The use of this column density distribution in the proximity effect analysis reduces the background intensity values by a factor of 2 to 3 compared to the values obtained by using the column density distribution obtained from high resolution observations. Evidence is presented for a weak correlation between the effective velocity dispersion parameter and equivalent width. Such a correlation if present can increase the background values by a factor of up to 1.5. Considerations of proximity in the spectra of 16 QSOs, from our sample, exhibiting damped Ly $α$ lines gives a background intensity which is 3 times smaller than the values obtained from the whole sample, confirming the presence of dust in the damped Ly $α$ systems. Lines close to the QSOs are shown to be marginally stronger and broader compared to lines away from the QSOs. The Ly $α$ lines with absorption redshift larger than emission redshift are shown to be uncorrelated with QSO luminosity, radio loudness or optical spectral index. These lines occur more frequently at high redshifts. Their presence is correlated weakly with the presence of associated metal line systems. The possibilities that the QSO emission redshift is considerably higher and that either the Ly $α$ clouds or the QSOs have peculiar velocities are considered. It is argued that a combination of both these

A Model for the Moving `Wisps' in the Crab Nebula
Creators: name: Begelman, Mitchell C.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: I propose that the moving `wisps' near the center of the Crab Nebula result from nonlinear Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities in the equatorial plane of the shocked pulsar wind. Recent observations suggest that the wisps trace out circular wavefronts in this plane, expanding radially at speeds approximately less than c/3. Instabilities could develop if there is sufficient velocity shear between a faster-moving equatorial zone and a slower moving shocked pulsar wind at higher latitudes. The development of shear could be related to the existence of a neutral sheet -- with weak magnetic field -- in the equatorial zone, and could also be related to a recent suggestion by Begelman that the magnetic field in the Crab pulsar wind is much stronger than had been thought. I show that plausible conditions could lead to the growth of instabilities at the radii and speeds observed, and that their nonlinear development could lead to the appearance of sharp wisplike features.

description: The quality of the visual feedback can vary significantly on a legged robot that is meant to traverse unknown and unstructured terrains. The map of the environment, acquired with online state-of-the-art algorithms, often degrades after a few steps, due to sensing inaccuracies, slippage and unexpected disturbances. When designing locomotion algorithms, this degradation can result in planned trajectories that are not consistent with the reality, if not dealt properly. In this work, we propose a heuristic-based planning approach that enables a quadruped robot to successfully traverse a significantly rough terrain (e.g., stones up to 10 cm of diameter), in absence of visual feedback. When available, the approach allows also to exploit the visual feedback (e.g., to enhance the stepping strategy) in multiple ways, according to the quality of the 3D map. The proposed framework also includes reflexes, triggered in specific situations, and the possibility to estimate online an unknown time-varying disturbance and compensate for it. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach with experiments performed on our quadruped robot HyQ (85 kg), traversing different terrains, such as: ramps, rocks, bricks, pallets and stairs. We also demonstrate the capability to estimate and compensate for disturbances, showing the robot walking up a ramp while pulling a cart attached to its back.

description: Recently there has been interest in the physical properties of dark matter axion condensates. Due to gravitational attraction and self-interactions, they can organize into spatial localized clumps, whose properties were examined by us in Refs. [1, 2]. Since the axion condensate is coherently oscillating, it can conceivably lead to parametric resonance of photons, leading to exponential growth in photon occupancy number and subsequent radio wave emission. We show that while resonance always exists for spatially homogeneous condensates, its existence for a spatially localized clump condensate depends sensitively on the size of clump, strength of axion-photon coupling, and field amplitude. By decomposing the electromagnetic field into vector spherical harmonics, we are able to numerically compute the resonance from clumps for arbitrary parameters. We find that for spherically symmetric clumps, which are the true BEC ground states, the resonance is absent for conventional values of the QCD axion-photon coupling, but it is present for axions with moderately large couplings, or into hidden sector photons, or from scalar dark matter with repulsive interactions. We extend these results to non-spherically symmetric clumps, organized by finite angular momentum, and find that even QCD axion clumps with conventional couplings can undergo resonant decay for sufficiently large angular momentum. We discuss possible astrophysical consequences of these results, including the idea of a pile-up of clump masses and rapid electromagnetic emission in the sky from mergers.

Characterisation of isomiRs in stem cells
Creators: name: Tan, Geok Chin
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: Since the inception of deep sequencing, isomiRs are consistently observed to be produced by most miRNA genes in a variety of cell types. Here I use northern blotting to show that isomiRs are not a sequencing artefact and I also observed that different cell lines and tissue types expressed distinctive isomiR patterns. All tested isomiRs could be immunoprecipitated with Argonaute proteins 1 or 2, indicating that they are functional. IsomiRs with differences at the 5' end have a different seed sequence compared to the canonical/ annotated microRNA. Bioinformatics analysis predicts that 5' isomiRs will target large numbers of different mRNAs compared to their canonical counterpart and vice versa. These predictions were supported by my in vitro luciferase assays, which I used to establish that isomiR-9 has gained the ability to target DNMT3B and NCAM2 mRNA but has lost the ability to target CDH1. During this study I identified a number of new targets of miRNAs in vitro, all of which were confirmed by mutagenesis of the predicted target sites. Moreover, I have made RNA sponge vectors that can distinguish between miR-9 and isomiR-9. The “isomiR-9 sponge” could specifically sequester isomiR-9 at a better efficiency than the canonical miR-9, which has just one base difference at the 5' end, and vice-versa. This adds further assurance that isomiRs can recognise different targets to canonical/ annotated microRNAs and also establishes a useful research tool for future studies. Taken together, this study shows that isomiRs are capable of targeting 3' UTRs, can associate with Argonaute proteins and may have different target mRNAs to canonical mRNAs. I also discuss some examples of miRNA genes whose evolution is likely to have been influenced by isomiR production, which adds further support to the view that isomiRs are of biological and evolutionary importance.

description: Computer-generated, web-based environments, known as 'virtual worlds', allow for novel and innovative methods of high-quality remote interaction. Virtual worlds have been used in various organisational contexts, including healthcare, though there remains potential for new ways that they may be used to facilitate non-clinical healthcare-related interacitons. This Thesis investigated use of virtual worlds to improve collaboration and engagement in healthcare. Results of research detailed here contribute to new understanding of how interpersonal interactions are altered in a virtual world context, and of drivers, barriers and implications of possible use of virtual worlds in a number of non-clinical healthcare-related contexts, which had not previously been empircally tested...

description: Considering the current staggering number of people under various forms of government supervision, reducing recidivism is a serious concern of the criminal justice system. A possible solution to this problem may lie in intensive supervision programs (ISPs) that were implemented in every state by 1990. This thesis evaluates Washington State's First-Time Offender Waiver (FTOW) to determine whether it is a viable alternative to prison for eligible nonviolent offenders. Specifically, I want to know: (1) Is there is a bias in who is sentenced with FTOW based on demographic variables? (2) Do FTOW recipients recidivate more or less compared to eligible non-FTOW offenders? (3) Of the offenders who do recidivate, do certain groups recidivate more than others? (4) Of the FTOW offenders who recidivate, is their second felony conviction for a more serious crime compared to the initial conviction versus eligible non-FTOW offenders?

Analyses revealed two important findings. First, the odds that offenders receiving FTOW would recidivate was less than other eligible offenders. Second, the odds of committing a more serious crime was less likely with offenders who were given FTOW compared to offenders who were not given FTOW. Implications of the results are discussed.

Neutrophils and the regulation of matrix metalloproteinases in Tuberculosis
Creators: name: Ong, Catherine Wei Min
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: Tuberculosis (TB) continues to kill globally and this is compounded by increasing drug-resistance. Neutrophil influx and tissue destruction are hallmarks of TB and this is detrimental to the host. A matrix degrading phenotype causes tissue damage in TB whereby the activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) is unopposed by their specific tissue inhibitors (TIMPs). The hypothesis is that neutrophils have a key role in causing MMP-dependent tissue destruction in human TB. The aims are to investigate MMP and TIMP secretion from M.tuberculosis (M.tb ) infected neutrophils, neutrophil networks regulating MMP secretion and MMP and TIMP activity regulation in neutrophils in vivo. Using an in-vitro model, healthy primary human neutrophils were infected in vitro with M.tb or stimulated with conditioned media from M.tb- infected monocytes (CoMTB). MMP-8/-9 and TIMP-1/-2 secretion were analysed by Luminex array and zymography. Intracellular signalling pathways were investigated by phosphoarray, western blot and inhibitors. Gene expression was studied by real-time PCR. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETS) were examined by immunofluorescence. DQ collagen degradation was examined by confocal microscopy and quantitative fluorescence assay. These studies were extended to investigate MMP-8 and -9 secretion from patients with AMPK mutation to evaluate if AMPK regulates neutrophil MMP secretion. Induced sputum samples from 108 patients and controls were analyzed. Immunohistochemistry of human TB lung specimens was performed. Neutrophil MMP-8 and -9 secretion are up-regulated 3 and 5 fold by M.tb respectively while CoMTB stimulation caused a 2 and 3 fold increase in MMP-8 and -9 (all p<0.001). The MAPK, PI3-kinase and AMPK pathway regulate neutrophil MMP secretion in CoMTB-stimulated neutrophils but not M.tb-infected cells. M.tb-infected neutrophils degrade collagen, which is abolished by the MMP inhibitor doxycycline. M.tb-driven NET formation is associated with MMP-8 and -9. MMP-8 and -9 concentrations are elevated in induced sputum of TB patients compared to controls (both p<0.001) and correlate with neutrophil markers myeloperoxidase and neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin. MMP-8 concentration correlated with clinical TB severity score (r=0.55, p<0.0001) and CXR score (r=0.52, p<0.0001). Induced sputum from TB patients has increased collagenase activity which is suppressed by MMP-8 neutralisation. MMP-8 secretion is decreased in AMPK patients with CoMTB stimulation. Immunohistochemistry of human TB lung specimens confirmed cellular findings. M.tb drives neutrophil MMP-8/-9 gene expression and secretion following direct infection and in monocyte-dependent networks. Pathways regulating neutrophil MMP secretion are stimulus specific. In vivo findings underscore the crucial role that neutrophils have in tissue destruction in TB.

Newborn feeding and infant phenotype

Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: Breastfeeding in infancy, when compared with formula feeding, is associated with a reduced incidence of components of the metabolic syndrome later in life. One potential mechanism is via an effect on lipid metabolism and storage, manifesting as altered adiposity and ectopic lipid deposition. I have examined the null hypothesis: no association is detectable between infant feeding and adiposity or ectopic lipid in infancy, through a meta-analysis of published studies and a prospective cohort study of healthy infants employing gold standard direct measurement techniques (magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy). Eleven studies were identified for meta-analysis: in formula-fed compared to breastfed infants, fat mass was lower at 3-4 months [mean difference (95% confidence interval)]: [-0.09 kg (-0.18, -0.01 kg)] and 6 months [-0.18 kg (- 0.34, -0.01 kg)]. Conversely, at 12 months, fat mass was higher in formula-fed infants [0.29 kg (-0.03, 0.61 kg)] than in breastfed infants. Eighty-seven infants were included in a prospective cohort, of which 73 were investigated at two time points. In healthy, term, breastfed infants adipose tissue accretion between birth and 2-3 months ages was predominantly within subcutaneous rather than internal adipose tissue compartments, and a significant increase in intrahepatocellular lipid was detected: median [interquartile range] 0.653 [0.367-1.900] after birth and 1.837 [1.408-2.429] at 2-3 months. Comparing breastfed with formula fed infants within this cohort no significant differences were detected in total adipose tissue, adipose tissue distribution or intrahepatocellular lipid between birth and 2-3 months. Significant associations were detected between maternal BMI, rate of weight gain in early infancy and gender, and adipose tissue partitioning at 2-3 months. While method of feeding is associated with altered infant fat mass up to 6 months, no association is detectable with adipose tissue partitioning or ectopic hepatic lipid at 2-3 months.

description: Summary - We describe the results of the ESO Key-programme on `Structure and Dynamics of Rich Galaxy Clusters' (or ENACS). The final database contains a total of 5634 galaxies in the directions of 107 clusters from the ACO catalogue with richness $R\ge 1$ and mean redshifts $z \le 0.1$. Of the 5634 redshifts, 4465 are based on absorption lines only, 583 on emission lines only and 586 on both. The overall reliability of the 5634 accepted redshifts is 0.98. For 5615 galaxies an $R_{25}$ magnitude was obtained. We discuss various methods for defining the compact, physically relevant systems in the 107 `pencil-beam' surveys. We have chosen to apply a fixed velocity gap of 1000 km/s to separate galaxies that do not form part of the same system. With this gap size, systems are not broken up into sub-systems, and field galaxies are hardly linked to the systems. We present the mean redshifts of the 220 systems (with at least 4 members) identified in the 107 pencil beam surveys. On average, about 75~\% of the 5634 galaxies are in the largest system found in the direction of the rich Abell cluster candidate. Half of the 25~\% of galaxies outside the largest system belong to a secondary system along the same line of sight. For about 90~\% of the nearby rich Abell cluster candidates studied here we find a redshift system that either contains more than half of the total number of redshifts, or that has at least two times as many redshifts as the next largest system.
