description: Stellar insolation has been used as the main constraint on a planet's habitability. However, as more Earth-like planets are discovered around low-mass stars (LMSs), a re-examination of the role of tides on the habitability of exoplanets has begun. Those studies have yet to consider the misalignment between a planet's rotational axis and the orbital plane normal, i.e. the planetary obliquity. We apply two equilibrium tide theories to compute the obliquity evolution of terrestrial planets orbiting in the habitable zones around LMSs. The time for the obliquity to decrease from an Earth-like obliquity of 23.5 deg to 5 deg, the 'tilt erosion time', is compared to the traditional insolation habitable zone (IHZ) as a function of semi-major axis, eccentricity, and stellar mass. We also compute tidal heating and equilibrium rotation caused by obliquity tides. The Super-Earth Gl581d and the planet candidate Gl581g are studied as examples for tidal processes. Earth-like obliquities of terrestrial planets in the IHZ around <0.25 solar mass (M_sun) stars are eroded in <0.1 Gyr. Only terrestrial planets orbiting stars with masses >0.9 M_sun experience tilt erosion times larger than 1 Gyr throughout the IHZ. Terrestrial planets in the IHZ of stars with masses <0.25 M_sun undergo significant tidal heating due to obliquity tides. The predictions of the two tidal models diverge significantly for e>0.3. In our two-body simulations, Gl581d's obliquity is eroded to 0 and its rotation period reached its equilibrium state of half its orbital period in <0.1 Gyr. Tidal surface heating on the putative Gl581g is <150 mW/m^2 as long as its eccentricity is <0.3. Obliquity tides modify the concept of the habitable zone. Tilt erosion of terrestrial planets orbiting LMSs should be included by atmospheric modelers. Tidal heating needs to be considered by geologists.

description: Nosocomial infections place a substantial burden on health care systems and represent a major issue in current public health, requiring notable efforts for its prevention. Understanding the dynamics of infection transmission in a hospital setting is essential for tailoring interventions and predicting the spread among individuals. Mathematical models need to be informed with accurate data on contacts among individuals. We used wearable active Radio-Frequency Identification Devices to detect face-to-face contacts among individuals with a spatial resolution of about 1.5 meters, and a time resolution of 20 seconds. The study was conducted in a general pediatrics hospital ward, during a one-week period, and included 119 participants. Nearly 16,000 contacts were recorded during the study, with a median of approximately 20 contacts per participants per day. Overall, 25% of the contacts involved a ward assistant, 23% a nurse, 22% a patient, 22% a caregiver, and 8% a physician. The majority of contacts were of brief duration, but long and frequent contacts especially between patients and caregivers were also found. In the setting under study, caregivers do not represent a significant potential for infection spread to a large number of individuals, as their interactions mainly involve the corresponding patient. Nurses would deserve priority in prevention strategies due to their central role in the potential propagation paths of infections. Our study shows the feasibility of accurate and reproducible measures of the pattern of contacts in a hospital setting. The results are particularly useful for the study of the spread of respiratory infections, for monitoring critical patterns, and for setting up tailored prevention strategies. Proximity-sensing technology should be considered as a valuable tool for measuring such patterns and evaluating nosocomial prevention strategies in specific settings.

description: Large scale Monte Carlo simulation results for the two-orbital model for manganites, including Jahn-Teller lattice distortions, are here presented. At hole density x=1/4 and in the vicinity of the region of competition between the ferromagnetic metallic and spin-charge-orbital ordered insulating phases, the colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) phenomenon is observed with a magnetoresistance ratio ~10,000% Our main result is that this CMR transition is found to be of first order in some portions of the phase diagram, in agreement with early results from neutron scattering, specific heat, and magnetization, thus solving a notorious discrepancy between experiments and previous theoretical studies. The first-order characteristics of the transition survive, and are actually enhanced, when weak quenched disorder is introduced.

description: The tables and graphs result from evaluation of Model 1 (see Veröffentlichungen des Zentralinstituts für Physik der Erde, Nr. 41, Potsdam 1976). They help to approximate values of the hydrostatic pressure P, the bulk modulus and its pressure derivative and the seismic parameter of a sample at any volume contraction x in the range between 0.5 and 1 if these quantities referred to the initial state (P = 0) are known. The considered functions are tabulated for a set of grid points of the rectangle 0.5 ≤ x ≤ 1,   2.1 ≤ ϰ_1 ≤ 10, where ϰ_1 is the initial value of the pressure derivative of the bulk modulus. The lattice pitchs are 0.01 in x and 0.1 in ϰ_1. The inverse problem can also be solved approximately with the aid of the tables and, above all, the plots presented here by using the "method of corresponding curves".

description: Comets are relatively-pristine remnants of the original planetesimals that were ejected from the planetary region in the late stages of planetary formation. The Oort cloud comet C/2014 UN271, hereafter UN271, is ~140 km in diameter [1,2,3], large enough that it could be an intact example of a planetesimal that formed in the protoplanetary disk before being ejected into the Oort cloud [4]. UN271 is currently beyond 17 au from the Sun as it moves to a periheliondistance of 11 au in 2031. Given its large heliocentric distance the temperatures on and below its surface are too low for efficient sublimation of water ice. It is likely that its activity is driven by hypervolatiles such as CO or CO2 and not H2O [1,5]. It is dynamically new on its first inbound trip to the Solar System's planetary region [6] providing the rare opportunity to study the volatile content of one of the original planetesimals in a pristine state. We present JWST/NIRSpec prism IFU [7] observations of UN271 with R~100 covering the spectral range where we can detect emission features from the vibrational bands of the gas-phase all the main volatiles found in comets (such as CO2, CO and C2H6). Moreover, this range also includes absorption bands of solid-phase water-ice grains [8,9]. Our observations, taken on December 22, 2022, when the comet was at 18.6 au from the Sun, provides constraints on the comet's CO and CO2 production rates, the activity driving mechanism [5], the presence and nature of water-ice grains in its coma and can be compared with similar spectra of Kuiper Belt bodies [10].

description: Young Sun-like stars at the beginning of the pre-main sequence (PMS) evolution are surrounded by accretion discs and remnant protostellar envelopes. Photometric and spectroscopic variations of these stars are driven by interactions of the star with the disc. Time scales and wavelength dependence of the variability carry information on the physical mechanisms behind these interactions. We conducted multi-epoch, multi-wavelength study of PV Cep, a strongly variable, accreting PMS star. By combining our own observations from 2004-2010 with archival and literature data, we show that PV Cep started a spectacular fading in 2005, reaching an I_C-band amplitude of 4 mag. Analysis of variation of the optical and infrared fluxes, colour indices, and emission line fluxes suggests that the photometric decline in 2005-2009 resulted from an interplay between variable accretion and circumstellar extinction: since the central luminosity of the system is dominated by accretion, a modest drop in the accretion rate could induce the drastic restructuring of the inner disc. Dust condensation in the inner disc region might have resulted in the enhancement of the circumstellar extinction.

A partir d'un échantillon de 23 entreprises observées sur la période de 2014 à 2022, l'analyse de la régression linéaire multiple prouve que l'efficience du capital immatériel impacte positivement et significativement la performance financière des entreprises. Par ailleurs, l'étude révèle que l'efficience du capital employé contribue à améliorer la performance financière estimée par le rendement de l'actif. En outre, l'efficience du capital structurel accroît le rendement des capitaux propres. Quant à l'efficience du capital humain, celle-ci a un effet positif et significatif sur la performance financière des entreprises cotées à la BRVM. Cette constatation fournit des preuves empiriques de l'utilisation optimale des ressources humaines par les managers pour produire une main d'œuvre de qualité dans l'optique d'améliorer la performance financière des entreprises. En outre, les résultats dénotent mêmement que l'efficience du capital humain contribue davantage à l'amélioration de la performance financière des entreprises. En conséquence, le capital humain est le meilleur prédicteur de la performance financière des entreprises cotées à la BRVM. En définitive, cette recherche fournit aux décideurs, aux managers, aux gestionnaires et aux investisseurs des preuves empiriques du capital immatériel comme une ressource stratégique pour améliorer les performances des entreprises.

description: The main tendencies of the development of tactics of surgical treatment of patients with acute obturation colonic obstruction of tumour genesis in conditions of a general surgical hospital are described. Over the past decades, surgical tactics have changed qualitatively in the treatment of obturation intestinal obstruction against the background of a colon tumour. According to numerous statistics, with emergency resection interventions, the results are worse, and the mortal-ity and incidence of complications are higher than with planned ones. In the tumour process in the right sections of the colon, right-handed hemicolectomy surgery and the formation of primary iliac-colon anastomosis remain the generally accepted standard. In the case of treatment of tumour lesions in the left parts of the colon, modern mini-invasive tech-nologies are used, designed for temporary recanalization and decompression of the colon and involving subsequent op-erations with the application of primary anastomosis. Metal self-expanding colorectal stents and mini-invasive drainage interventions with clear imaging of the probe by X-ray and tomography techniques in the treatment of acute obturation colorectal obstruction of tumour genesis are promising areas for further research not only in coloproctology departments but also in emergency general surgical hospitals.
Key words: colon obstruction, surgical tactics, intestinal decompression, devices for colon drainage, lavage, new surgical technologies, stents, recanalization, laparoscopically assisted operations.

description:
Rock salt is one of the three potential host rocks for the final repository for high-level radioactive waste in Germany. For the site selection procedure and for safety assessments, the content and composition of trapped fluids can be crucial to evaluate the potential of gas formation. Certain salt formations in northern Germany are known to contain gases and hydrocarbons as fluid inclusions. Fluid inclusion studies can provide information on their composition or temperature- and pressure conditions of fluid migration. Investigating individual fluid inclusion assemblages has certain advantages compared to bulk analyses: (1) the possibility to differentiate between different fluid sources and/or (2) the reconstruction of a complex fluid history. Among the suitable methods for the analyses of the fluid inclusion composition is Raman spectroscopy. Here we used a Renishaw inVia QONTOR Raman spectrometer attached to a Leica microscope (DM3000) equipped with a 100x objective and a 532 nm laser. Raman spectra were obtained with a 2400 grating, at ~5 mW, 180–240 s acquisition time and 2 accumulations in the spectral range of 300–4000 cm-1. The analyses of the hydrocarbon phase show peaks at ~940, at 2500–2700 and 2900–3100 cm-1 indicating C-H stretching modes, potentially of alkanes and their derivatives (Dollish et al., 1974; Orange et al. 1996).

description: The presence of magnetic fields at the surfaces of many massive stars has been suspected for decades, to explain the observed properties and activity of OB stars. However, very few genuine high-mass stars had been identified as magnetic before the advent of a new generation of powerful spectropolarimeters that has resulted in a rapid burst of precise information about the magnetic properties of massive stars. During this talk, I will briefly review modern methods used to diagnose magnetic fields of higher-mass stars, and summarize our current understanding of the magnetic properties of OB stars.

description: It is widely accepted that strong and variable radiation detected over all accessible energy bands in a number of active galaxies arises from a relativistic, Doppler-boosted jet pointing close to our line of sight. The size of the emitting zone and the location of this region relative to the central supermassive black hole are, however, poorly known, with estimates ranging from light-hours to a light-year or more. Here we report the coincidence of a gamma-ray flare with a dramatic change of optical polarization angle. This provides evidence for co-spatiality of optical and gamma-ray emission regions and indicates a highly ordered jet magnetic field. The results also require a non-axisymmetric structure of the emission zone, implying a curved trajectory for the emitting material within the jet, with the dissipation region located at a considerable distance from the black hole, at about 10^5 gravitational radii.

An “Imperial undertaking” : Harry T. Logan, Fairbridge Farm Schools, and the Department of Classics at the University of British Columbia
Creators: name: Porebska-Smith, Maya
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Professor Harry Tremaine Logan is a significant figure in the University of British Columbia’s history. Logan was a classicist trained at McGill and Oxford and later became principal of the Prince of Wales Fairbridge Farm School on Vancouver Island. This school participated in child migration schemes, taking 329 British children from their parents or orphanages between 1934 and 1951. Survivors remember this school as a place where they suffered emotional, physical, and sexual abuse. In this thesis, I consider how Logan became an agent of empire by looking at his education and the relationship between classics, colonialism, and empire, and by analyzing the words of survivors from the Prince of Wales Fairbridge Farm School. To do so, I consider how Logan understood empire, how he formed this understanding through his training in classics, the relationship between classics and empire, and demonstrate how Logan participated in imperialism at Fairbridge. I use archival evidence from the UBC archives (especially letters and exams taken and given by Logan), survivor testimonies, and investigatory findings on child migration, to contextualize how Logan came to hold the power he did and how he understood his role in contemporary imperialism in B.C. Logan was celebrated by UBC until recently but created an unsafe environment for children at Fairbridge. He was imagined for years as a benevolent philanthropist, but peeling back the layers of his work, the harm he caused was exposed. He studied Classics, understanding this work as setting the foundations for understanding imperialism in his day. The Fairbridge Farm School system provided the means through which Logan could enact imperialism and realize the ideals of ancient world Logan had studied. As a classical scholar who engaged with questions of power, domination, and colonization, the work he did at Fairbridge fit well within this scheme. He looked to ancient Greece and Rome to legitimize the work he undertook. Logan’s troubling legacy at UBC and his interpretation and application of Classics should inspire contemporary classicists to change the field.

Moreover, we prove that these problems are BQP-complete, that is, that estimating these partition functions is as hard as simulating arbitrary quantum computation. The results are proven for a complex parameter regime of the models. The proofs are based on a mapping relating partition functions to quantum circuits introduced in [Van den Nest et al., Phys. Rev.

description: An emerging strategy in the design of efficient gas storage technologies is the development of stimuliresponsive physisorbents which undergo transformations in response to a particular stimulus, such as pressure, heat or light. Herein, we report two isostructural light modulated adsorbents (LMAs) containing bis-3-thienylcyclopentene (BTCP), LMA-1 [Cd(BTCP)(DPT)2] (DPT=2,5-diphenylbenzene-1,4-dicarboxylate) and LMA-2 [Cd(BTCP)(FDPT)2] (FDPT=5-fluoro-2,diphenylbenzene-1,4-dicarboxylate). Both LMAs undergo pressure induced switching transformations from non-porous to porous via adsorption of N2, CO2 and C2H2. LMA-1 exhibited multi-step adsorption while LMA-2 showed a single-step adsorption isotherm. The light responsive nature of the BTPC ligand in both frameworks was exploited with irradiation of LMA-1 resulting in a 55% maximum reduction of CO2 uptake at 298 K. This study reports the first example of a switching sorbent (closed to open) that can be further modulated by light.

description: The genetic code maps the sixty-four nucleotide triplets (codons) to twenty amino-acids. While the biochemical details of this code were unraveled long ago, its origin is still obscure. We review information-theoretic approaches to the problem of the code's origin and discuss the results of a recent work that treats the code in terms of an evolving, error-prone information channel. Our model - which utilizes the rate-distortion theory of noisy communication channels - suggests that the genetic code originated as a result of the interplay of the three conflicting evolutionary forces: the needs for diverse amino-acids, for error-tolerance and for minimal cost of resources. The description of the code as an information channel allows us to mathematically identify the fitness of the code and locate its emergence at a second-order phase transition when the mapping of codons to amino-acids becomes nonrandom. The noise in the channel brings about an error-graph, in which edges connect codons that are likely to be confused. The emergence of the code is governed by the topology of the error-graph, which determines the lowest modes of the graph-Laplacian and is related to the map coloring problem.

Seasonal variation in marine bird distribution in the northeast Pacific Ocean
Creators: name: Simon, Lili
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Human impacts can directly (e.g., bycatch, over-fishing, pollution), indirectly (e.g., climate forcing), or in concert affect marine systems and the species that rely on them. These effects can alter ecosystem function, productivity, and the abundance, distribution and demography of many marine predators. Marine birds are particularly sensitive to these impacts and given their ease of observation and diverse foraging tactics and habitat uses are outstanding indicators of ecosystem health. Conserving marine birds and their ecosystems requires robust predictions of species distribution and the identification of ‘hotspots’ of richness and abundance to help mitigate human disturbance in areas and at times when large aggregations of diverse species occur. I modeled seasonal variation in marine bird species diversity (defined by the Shannon Weiner Diversity Index) and in marine bird family occurrence to map the intensity and extent of hotspots in relation to season and climate in Canada’s Pacific Exclusive Economic Zone. To do so, I used 20 years of survey data from the North Pacific Pelagic Seabird Database (1997-2017) and remote sensing data describing marine conditions and local geography (sea surface temperature, chlorophyll a, bathymetry, and distance to shore) to illustrate how seasonality within years and the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) across years influenced spatial patterns in diversity. Hotspots were most persistent in Hecate Strait, off the west coast of Vancouver Island, and surrounding the Scott Islands in most seasons. Hotspots became less intense and/or shifted northwards as sea surface temperatures rose, reflecting the results of many studies on individual species responses to increasing temperatures and demonstrating such effects at the level of marine bird communities. I describe how my results could be applied to potentially mitigate the deleterious effects of humans on the diversity and distribution of marine birds. I also provide cautions which must accompany such predictions given sparse data for some areas and seasons. Overall, the maps I present provide a template for mapping marine species distribution for the purpose of identifying ‘hotspots’ of diversity, and thereby facilitate planning to minimize harmful impacts in highly diverse and dynamic systems.

Transport through a quantum dot with excitonic dot-lead coupling

description: We study the effect of a dot-lead interaction on transport through a quantum dot hybridized to two semi-infinite Luttinger-liquid leads. A bosonization approach is applied to treat the interaction between charge fluctuations on the dot and the dynamically generated image charge in the leads. The nonequilibrium distribution function of the dot and the tunneling current are computed within a master-equation approach. The presence of the excitonic dot-lead coupling is found to enhance transport in the vicinity of the Coulomb-blockade threshold. This behavior is in contrast to the usual power-law suppression of electronic tunneling which is found if this interaction is ignored.

description:
For 60 years, Germany’s National Metrology Institute Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) has been promoting the improvement of metrology systems and quality infrastructure within its partner countries in the Global South. Metrology and quality infrastructure are fundamental for the reliable measurement of all environmental parameters. Thus, geoscientific research heavily relies on them as a basis for comparable and accurate data.

Quality infrastructure includes metrology, standardization, testing, quality management, certification, and accreditation. PTB endeavours to strengthen all these components in its technical cooperation projects. For example, PTB works with its partner institutions in the Global South on the adaptation and development of environmental standards. These include, among others, standards concerning soil and water quality. Furthermore, PTB supports the process of accreditation of analytical test laboratories to increase credibility of environmental data on water, air, and soil.
 All environmental data relies on the conformity of units. Accredited laboratories need to proof the traceability of their measurements up to the highest metrological authorities. PTB therefore strengthens National Metrology Institutes in its partner countries with regards to environmental services.

In the presentation, the components of quality infrastructure and their importance for geosciences will be introduced. Highlights from PTB projects in India and Guatemala will showcase success stories of improved quality infrastructure in the context of international cooperation for geoscientific applications.

Dirac point metamorphosis from third-neighbor couplings in graphene

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)

description: We study the band structure and the density of states of graphene in the presence of a next-to-nearest-neighbor coupling (N2) and a third-nearest-neighbor coupling (N3). We show that for values of N3 larger or equal to 1/3 of the value of the nearest-neighbor hopping (NN), extra Dirac points appear in the spectrum. If N3 is exactly equal to 1/3 NN, the new Dirac points are localized at the M points of the Brillouin zone and are hybrid: the electrons have a linear dispersion along the GammaM direction and a quadratic dispersion along the perpendicular direction MK. For larger values of N3 the new points have a linear dispersion, and are situated along the MK line. For a value of N3 equal to 1/2 NN, these points merge with the Dirac cones at the K points, yielding a gapless quadratic dispersion around K, while for larger values each quadratic point at K splits again into four Dirac points. The effects of changing the N2 coupling are not so dramatic. We calculate the density of states and we show that increasing the N3 coupling lowers the energy of the Van Hove singularities, and when N3 is larger than 1/3 NN the Van Hove singularities split in two, giving rise to extra singularities at low energies.
