Transition threshold problem for the Navier-Stokes equations and related models
Creators: name: Del Zotto, Augusto
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2024

description: This thesis presents results from the author’s articles [26, 19, 20], which focus on studying the transition threshold problem in different fluid flow profiles within the context of the Navier-Stokes and Boussinesq equations. By utilizing linear stabilizing mechanisms like enhanced dissipation (arising from shear flows) and dispersive effects (due to thermal stratification), we determine the size of perturbations leading to an asymptotically stable regime. This basin of attraction varies based on the background configuration and can be quantified in terms of the fluid’s viscosity coefficient, ⌫: small perturbations stabilize, while larger ones induce turbulence. In homogeneous viscous fluids, we establish an upper bound for the threshold, proportional to ⌫ 2 3 , in the two-dimensional Poiseuille flow. This involves deriving linear enhanced dissipation estimates and employing them in a nonlinear bootstrap argument to address the full nonlinear problem. For inhomogeneous viscous and thermally diffusive flows, we provide a comprehensive linear and nonlinear description of perturbations in a three-dimensional stably stratified Couette flow. This system showcases the interplay between linear effects from shearing movement and the oscillatory nature of stratification. Dissipation enhancement estimates are derived through specific system symmetrization and energy functional arguments. Additionally, we demonstrate how buoyant coupling suppresses the lift-up effect for streak solutions, improving stability. We then employ dispersion to establish an upper bound proportional to ⌫ 11 12 for the transition threshold of the stably stratified Couette flow, focusing on dispersive estimates to control nonlinear streak terms. Non-streak solutions are addressed using a bootstrap argument and an energy functional adapted for nonlinear analysis through ghost multipliers, which incorporate linear behaviors and regularity of solutions. These methods play a crucial role in studying interactions of nonlinear terms.

description: Objetivou-se, neste trabalho, analisar os impactos da expansão da cana, no Vale do São Patrício – região localizada no Centro-Norte do estado de Goiás. Principal área goiana produtora de cana-de-açúcar destinada à produção de álcool combustível, o Vale do São Patrício apresenta transformações em aspectos diversos, como na configuração ambiental, na dinâmica econômica e na estrutura do tecido social. O estudo foi realizado a partir da reunião de entrevista e observações in loco com a análise de dados secundários para os 22 municípios que formam o Vale. Dentre os resultados obtidos, está a constatação de que 70% da área de culturas temporárias estão ocupadas pela cana-de-açúcar, a qual domina as paisagens e provoca um processo de êxodo rural. Os dados indicam ainda que, apesar do crescimento econômico verificado nos últimos anos, a riqueza gerada não tem resultado em benefícios para a população rural.
Meson correlation functions in a QCD plasma

description: The temporal pseudoscalar meson correlation function in a QCD plasma is investigated in a range of temperatures exceeding $T_c$ and yet of experimental interest. Only the flavour-singlet channel is considered and the imaginary time formalism is employed for the finite temperature calculations. The behaviour of the meson spectral function and of the temporal correlator is first studied in the HTL approximation, where one replaces the free thermal quark propagators with the HTL resummed ones. This procedure satisfactory describes the soft fermionic modes, but its application to the propagation of hard quarks is not reliable. An improved version of the so-called NLA scheme, which allows a better treatment of the hard fermionic modes, is then proposed. The impact of the improved NLA on the pseudoscalar temporal correlator is investigated.

description: Water is a scarce resource in Israel. With fluctuating supplies and an increasing demand, the need for using alternative water sources such as reclaimed wastewater, brackish groundwater and desalinated seawater increases. This paper investigates the economy-wide effects of a de-clining supply of natural fresh water (ground and surface water) and the increasing utilization of alternative water sources (recycled wastewater, brackish water, desalinated seawater). To ac-count for different production structures and usage options, a single country Computable Gen-eral Equilibrium (CGE) model is used, in which several water activities produce differentiated water commodities. These water commodities are used as intermediate inputs in other produc-tion activities or are consumed by households. Results suggest that especially the agricultural sector would be affected by a reduction of natu-ral fresh water availability, as it is the largest water user. However, the effect can be mitigated if substitution possibilities with alternative water sources are increased, especially the desalination of seawater can contribute to this. The rest of the economy is affected to a lesser extent, as water is only a minor input in other sectors and the water sector itself is small compared to the whole Israeli economy.

"Who is that nurse?" : what it means to be and act as a registered nurse : the client’s perspective
Creators: name: Leifso, Genelle Margaret Colleen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: What does it mean to be and act as a registered nurse? This qualitative study examined the professional identity of the nurse from a client's perspective. Using interpretive description methodology and purposeful theoretical sampling, 10 informants participated in unstructured, open-ended interviews that were audiotaped, transcribed verbatim, and analysed. Findings revealed that, from the informants' perspective being and acting are not equal facets of the nurse's professional identity. Rather, the nurse's being is central, providing structure to and influencing the way that the nurse acts. To be a nurse is to be intrinsically motivated to care for another person. Uniquely expressed, the result of the nurse's personal history and natural talents, this motivation is the unique descriptor identifying suitable candidates for the profession. Evident in these individuals before their nursing education begins, it sustains them in a complex and difficult role requiring intellectual, emotional, and physical capabilities. Being a nurse is relational, imbued with great responsibility because of the nurse's consistent presence with the client. To act as a nurse is to be identifiably involved in a client-focussed endeavour. The nurse's acting is a consequence of the nurse's being, with attitudinal traits operationalised as professional attributes. Although clients value nurses' unique knowledge and believe that all nurses will be proficient in specific nursing competencies, without excellence in verbal and non-verbal communication something vital is missing. The nurse, easily recognisable through her bearing and approach towards the client, communicates professional pride and ability. The study findings suggest many implications for nursing education and practice— particularly recruitment and retention issues. Further research should explore variations in client perception related to age, culture, or perceptions that may change over time.

In particular, we show that three-body effects do not modify the coupling at large distances as would be expected from hydrodynamic screening.

description: The topological Hall effect (THE) has been discovered in ultrathin SrRuO3 (SRO) films, where the interface between the SRO layer and another oxide layer breaks the inversion symmetry resulting in the appearance of THE. Thus, THE only occurs in ultra-thin SRO films of several unit cells. In addition to employing a heterostructure, the inversion symmetry can be broken intrinsically in bulk SRO by introducing defects. In this study THE is observed in 60 nm thick SRO films, in which defects and lattice distortions are introduced by helium ion irradiation. The irradiated SRO films exhibit a pronounced THE in a wide temperature range from 5 K to 80 K. These observations can be attributed to the emergence of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction as a result of artificial inversion symmetry breaking associated to the lattice defect engineering. The creation and control of the THE in oxide single layers can be realized by ex situ film processing. Therefore, this work provides new insights into the THE and illustrates a promising strategy to design novel spintronics devices.

description: We present a high-resolution simulation of globular cluster formation in a galaxy merger. For the first time in such a simulation, individual star clusters are directly identified and followed on their orbits. We quantitatively compare star formation in the merger to that in the unperturbed galaxies. The merging galaxies show a strong starburst, in sharp contrast to their isolated progenitors. Most star clusters form in the tidal features. With a mass range of $5\times10^{5}$--$5\times 10^{6} M_{\odot}$, they are identified as globular clusters. The merger remnant is an elliptical galaxy. Clusters with different mass or age have different radial distributions in the galaxy. Our results show that the high specific frequency and bimodal distribution of metallicity observed in elliptical galaxies are natural products of gas-rich mergers, supporting a merger origin for the ellipticals and their globular cluster systems.

description: Ionotropic Glutamate receptors function as glutamate activated ion channels in rapid synaptic transmission in animals. Arabidopsis thaliana possess twenty Glutamate receptor-like genes (AtGLRs) in its genome which are involved in many functions including light signal transduction and calcium homeostasis. However, little is known about the physico-chemical, functional and structural properties of AtGLRs. In this study, glutamate receptor-like genes of A. thaliana have been studied in silico. Exon-intron structures revealed common origin of majority of these genes. The presence of several phosphorylation and myristoilation sites indicate the involvement of AtGLRs in various signaling processes. Gene ontology analysis showed the participation of AtGLRs in various biological processes including different stress responses. In two genes namely AT2G17260 and AT4G35290, presence of RAV1-A binding site motif in the promoter coupled with results from gene ontology annotation indicate their role in stomatal movement through abscisic acid (ABA) signaling. Expression analysis showed differential expression of several tandemly arranged genes which indicates neo or sub-functionalization. Two genes namely AT5G48400 and AT5G48410 showed significantly more expression in response to Botrytis cinerea infection. Five of these genes have shown G-protein coupled GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid) receptor activity indicating a possible interaction between AtGLRs and GABA. Structurally, all of them were similar while differences were found regarding electrostatic surfaces as well as surface hydrophobicity. Results of this study provide a comprehensive reference regarding AtGLRs for further analysis regarding the structure, function and evolution of the glutamate receptors in plants.

description: Single crystals of NbGe$_{2}$ which crystallize in a noncentrosymmetric hexagonal structure with chirality are synthesized and their superconductivity is investigated. Type-I superconductivity is confirmed by dc magnetization, field-induced second-to first-order phase transition in specific heat, and a small Ginzburg-Landau parameter $κ_{GL}=0.12$. The isothermal magnetization measurements show that there is a crossover from type-I to type-II/1 superconductivity with decreasing temperature and an unusually enhanced surface superconducting critical field ($H_{c3}$) is discovered. The band structure calculations indicate the presence of Kramer-Weyl nodes near the Fermi level. These observations demonstrate that NbGe$_{2}$ is an interesting and rare example involving the possible interplay of type-I superconductivity, noncentrosymmetric structure and topological properties.

description: Let M be a smooth generic submanifold of C^n. Tumanov showed that the direction of CR extendability parallel propagates with respect to a certain differential geometric partial connection in a quotient bundle of the normal bundle to M. M is said to be globally minimal at a point z in M if the CR orbit of z contains a neighborhood of z in M. It is shown that the vector space generated by the directions of CR-extendability of CR functions on M is preserved by the induced composed flow between two points in the same CR orbit. As an application, the main result of this paper, conjectured by J.-M. Trepreau in 1990, is established: for wedge extendability of CR functions to hold at every point in the CR-orbit of z M, it is sufficient that M be globally minimal at z.

The relationship of grazing to orthopteran diversity in the intermontane grasslands of the South Okanagan, British Columbia
Creators: name: Griesdale, Peggy Liu
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The antelope-brush shrub-steppe of the South Okanagan is small in size yet home to many of the unique and endangered flora and fauna of British Columbia and Canada. More insect species are found in this ecosystem than other grassland ecosystems. Antelope-brush ecosystems are dominated by bunchgrasses, antelope-brush, and a well-developed cryptogam crust, owing to the hot and dry summers of the South Okanagan. Urban and vineyard development are the most immediate threat to this fragile ecosystem, followed by unmanaged livestock grazing. Livestock grazing exposes soil, stunts plant growth, and fragments the cryptogam crust. Less than 9% of the antelope-brush ecosystem is relatively undisturbed and only two small ecological reserves exist. Orthopterans are the most important invertebrate herbivore in North American grasslands and are one of the main biotic influences on grasslands. While Orthopterans assist with biomass turnover and nutrient cycling processes of ecosystem functioning, they may add to the effects of livestock overgrazing. Numerous studies have shown contradictory results of the relationship between grasshopper abundances and grazing pressures. As part of a larger study of the biodiversity and impact of grazing on this threatened ecosystem, this study was conducted to determine how livestock grazing in the intermontane grasslands of the South Okanagan of British Columbia influenced the abundance and species assemblage of Orthopterans. Orthopterans were collected with pitfall traps in ten locations in the antelope-brush ecosystem of the South Okanagan over two years. The study sites were of three different grazing levels: 1) non-grazed; 2) moderately grazed; and 3) heavily grazed. Vegetation data were collected with Daubenmire plots at each site. Twenty-four orthopteran species were captured (seventeen grasshopper species and seven cricket species). All seventeen grasshopper species were previously known to occur in British Columbia, but the taxonomies of four of the cricket species are currently being revised. Grazing did not affect orthopteran species abundance or diversity. Regression analyses showed that the number of orthopteran species and Shannon-Wiener Index values increased with increasing bare soil. The effects of grazing on the vegetation community and structure, and its corresponding effects on the orthopteran species assemblage, are discussed.

description: We report the characterization of kisspeptin gene which is considered to be essential for successful animal reproduction. The full-length cDNA sequence of kiss2 was 583 bp, consisted of 11 bp 5′-UTR (untranslated region) and 194 bp 3′-UTR, respectively. Open reading frame of 378 bp encoding a putative protein of 125 amino acids. The Catla catla kiss2 protein was having a molecular weight of 14.51 kDa and isoelectric point (pI) of 8.46. There were four serine (Ser), four threonine (Thr) and two tyrosine (Tyr) phosphorylation sites and no N-glycosylation sites on the predicted protein. The amino acids on positions 8, 11, 24, 80 and 114 were detected to be ligand binding sites. The signal peptide analysis predicted that C. catla kiss2 is a secretory protein. Kiss2 protein is localized in nuclear region (49.7%) and the extracellular region (38.3%) of the cell. Analysis of tissue distribution revealed that, kiss2 transcripts were predominantly expressed in the brain and gonads, with expression levels in female higher than those of male. Ontogenetic analysis of kiss2 demonstrated that expression level was low during early phase of development stages and more expression was observed during mature stage. Overall present results lay a strong basis for understanding the role of kisspeptin in the neuroendocrine system in teleosts.

description: The first identification of the argonium ion (ArH+) towards the Crab Nebula supernova remnant was proclaimed by the Herschel in the sub-millimeter and far-infrared domain. Very recently the discovery of the hydro-helium cation (HeH+) in the planetary nebula (NGC 7027) has been reported by using the SOFIA. The elemental abundance of neon is much higher than that of the argon. However, the presence of neonium ions (NeH+) is yet to be confirmed in space. Though the hydroxyl radicals (OH) are very abundant either in neutral or in the cationic form, hydroxyl cations of such noble gases (i.e., ArOH+, NeOH+, and HeOH+) are yet to be identified in space. Here, we employ a spectral synthesis code to examine the chemical evolution of the hydride and hydroxyl cations of the various isotopes of Ar, Ne, and He in the Crab Nebula filament and calculate their line emissivity and intrinsic line surface brightness. We successfully explain the observed surface brightness of two transitions of ArH+ (617 and 1234 GHz), one transition of OH+ (971 GHz), and one transition of H2 (2.12 micrometer). We also explain the observed surface brightness ratios between various molecular and atomic transitions. We find that our model reproduces the overall observed features when a hydrogen number density of ~10^4-10^6 cm^-3 and a cosmic-ray ionization rate per H2 of ~10^-11-10^-10 s^-1 are chosen. We discuss the possibility of detecting some hydride and hydroxyl cations in the Crab and diffuse cloud environment. Some transitions of these molecules are highlighted for future astronomical detection.

description: We follow Schmalensee, Stoker, and Judson (1998) to forecast CO2 emissions based on the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC). Our findings suggest that the EKC will not lead to significant decreases in CO2 emissions even by 2050 for countries with the highest incomes. Therefore, mandatory emissions cuts are required to limit climate change. In the same spirit of Horowitz (2009) and Ng and Zhao (2010), we then use a reduced-form approach to estimate the economic costs of mandatory emission cuts. Based on our parameter estimates, we find that a 25% mandatory deduction in CO2 emissions from 1990 will lead to a 5.63% decrease in the combined GDP of the 19 OECD countries, and a 40% deduction will result in a 12.92% loss in income (holding other relevant variables constant)! Our estimates are substantially higher than those in Paltsev, Reillya, Jacobya, and Morris (2009) and Dellink, Briner and Clapp (2010), and suggest that the economic cost to limit climate change as envisioned in the Copenhagen Accord may be substantial and more research should be done before mandatory emission cuts are implemented.
Floating phase in a dissipative Josephson junction array

description: We consider dissipative quantum phase transitions in Josephson junction arrays and show that the disordered phase in this extended system can be viewed as an unusual floating phase in which the states of local $(0+1)$-dimensional elements (single Josephson junctions) can slide past each other despite arbitrary range spatial couplings among them. The unusual character of the metal-superconductor quantum critical point can be tested by measurements of the current voltage characteristic. This may be the simplest and most natural example of a floating phase.

description: We derive the spectrum of gauge invariant operators for maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories in d dimensions. After subtracting the tower of BPS multiplets, states are shown to fall into long multiplets of a hidden SO(10,2) symmetry dressed by thirty-two supercharges. Their primaries organize into a universal, i.e. d-independent pattern. The results are in perfect agreement with those following from (naive) KK reduction of type II strings on the warped AdS x S near-horizon geometry of Dp-branes.

Direct search of dark matter with the SABRE experiment

description: The interaction rate of hypothesised dark matter particles in an Earth-bound detector is expected to undergo an annual modulation due to the planet's orbital motion. The DAMA experiment has observed such a modulation with high significance in an array of scintillating NaI(Tl) crystals. This claim is still unverified inasmuch as the other experiments involved in this research use different dark matter targets and cannot be compared with DAMA in a model-independent way. The SABRE experiment seeks to provide a much-needed model-independent test by developing highly pure NaI(Tl) crystal detectors with very low radioactivity and deploying them into an active veto detector that can reject key backgrounds in a dark matter measurement. The final layout of SABRE will consist of a pair of twin detectors at LNGS (Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso, Italy) and SUPL (Stawell Underground Physics Laboratory, Australia). The combined analysis of data sets from the two hemispheres will allow to identify any terrestrial contribution to the modulating signal. This article gives an overview of the detector design together with the results of Monte Carlo simulations and of the status of SABRE proof-of-principle activities at LNGS.

Collaterals, Bank Monitoring and Performance: the Case of Newly Established Wine Farmers

Subjects: subject: Agricultural Finance
subject: Collaterals
subject: incentives
subject: bank monitoring

description: This research aims at identifying the incentives associated to collaterals in an asymmetric information context and when the bank is the main financial partner of the entrepreneurs, which is typically the case for most farms and especially in the wine sector. In one hand, collaterals may reduce the risk of overinvestment by entrepreneurs and so reduce the risk of repayment default. In the other hand, to contract collaterals may lead the bank to reduce the monitoring effort. In this paper we test these two hypotheses in taking into account the fact that entrepreneurs can benefit from a banking relationship or not. Our results confirm that collaterals’ incentives depend on the bank monitoring. Moreover, this emphasizes the uniqueness of land mortgages. Besides, our results confirm that the revenue constraint is binding and thus, make critical the question of financial resources for newly established wine farmers.

description: Stormwater runoff causes environmental problems such as flooding, soil erosion and water pollution. Conventional stormwater management has focused primarily on flood reduction, while a new generation of decentralized stormwater solutions yields ancillary benefits in the form of improved surface water quality and increased groundwater recharge. Previous research has estimated values for flood reduction from stormwater management, but no estimates exist for the willingness to pay for some of the other benefits of alternative approaches to stormwater control. This paper uses a choice-experiment survey of households in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois to estimate the values of multiple attributes of stormwater management outcomes, and to identify households’ willingness to pay for different attributes of stormwater management controls. Results show that people are willing to pay not only for reduction of flooding frequency, especially basement flooding, but also for improved environmental quality. Furthermore, an individual’s values depend on the status quo condition that they experience.

description: We study oscillatory universes within the context of Loop Quantum Cosmology. We make a comparative study of flat and positively curved universes sourced by scalar fields with either positive or negative potentials. We investigate how oscillating universes can set the initial conditions for successful slow-roll inflation, while ensuring that the semi-classical bounds are satisfied. We observe rich oscillatory dynamics with negative potentials, although it is difficult to respect the semi-classical bounds in models of this type.

Initial Ionization of Compressible Turbulence

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the effects of the initial conditions of turbulent molecular clouds on the ionization structure in newly formed H_{ii} regions, using three-dimensional, photon-conserving radiative transfer in a pre-computed density field from three-dimensional compressible turbulence. Our results show that the initial density structure of the gas cloud can play an important role in the resulting structure of the H_{ii} region. The propagation of the ionization fronts, the shape of the resulting H_{ii} region, and the total mass ionized depend on the properties of the turbulent density field. Cuts through the ionized regions generally show ``butterfly'' shapes rather than spherical ones, while emission measure maps are more spherical if the turbulence is driven on scales small compared to the size of the H_{ii} region. The ionization structure can be described by an effective clumping factor $ζ=< n > \cdot < n^2>/< n>^2$, where $n$ is number density of the gas. The larger the value of $ζ$, the less mass is ionized, and the more irregular the H_{ii} region shapes. Because we do not follow dynamics, our results apply only to the early stage of ionization when the speed of the ionization fronts remains much larger than the sound speed of the ionized gas, or Alfvén speed in magnetized clouds if it is larger, so that the dynamical effects can be negligible.
