description: The foundation of Credit Suisse marked a crucial waypoint in the history of Switzerland towards industrialisation. This paper explores the history and current affairs of Credit Suisse, arguably one of the most fabled institutions in Switzerland, with keen perspectives on corporate governance. It argues that while there has been a string of scandals that befell the bank questioning its integrity, morality, reputation, and operational soundness, the accountability and responsibility equally rest on its political and cultural environment (Guex, 2000; Hurst, 2008; McGrath, 2020; Revil, 2022).

description: Qubit coherence and gate fidelity are typically considered the two most important metrics for characterizing a quantum processor. An equally important metric is inter-qubit connectivity as it minimizes gate count and allows implementing algorithms efficiently with reduced error. However, inter-qubit connectivity in superconducting processors tends to be limited to nearest neighbour due to practical constraints in the physical realization. Here, we introduce a novel superconducting architecture that uses a ring resonator as a multi-path coupling element with the qubits uniformly distributed throughout its circumference. Our planar design provides significant enhancement in connectivity over state of the art superconducting processors without any additional fabrication complexity. We theoretically analyse the qubit connectivity and experimentally verify it in a device capable of supporting up to twelve qubits where each qubit can be connected to nine other qubits. Our concept is scalable, adaptable to other platforms and has the potential to significantly accelerate progress in quantum computing, annealing, simulations and error correction.

description: Following the recent surge of interest in n-doped strontium titanate as a possible blue light emitter, a time-resolved photoluminescence analysis was performed on nominally pure, Nb-doped and oxygen-deficient single-crystal SrTiO3 samples. The doping-effects on both the electronic states involved in the transition and the decay mechanism are respectively analyzed by comparing the spectral and dynamic features and the yields of the emission. Our time-resolved analysis, besides shedding some light on the basic recombination mechanisms acting in these materials, sets the intrinsic bandwidth limit of the proposed blue light emitting optoelectronic devices made of Ti-based perovskites heterostructures in the GHz range.

Reliability-based methodology for design and evaluation of concrete bridge decks
Creators: name: Yang, Chan
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: The bridge deck serves as a critical component of the overall bridge structure whose performance attracts great attention as it directly impacts public safety, infrastructure planning, and overall functioning of transportation networks. Bridge owners pay extensive budget on monitoring and maintaining the bridge decks to ensure their safe loading carrying capacity. While the AASHTO Load and Resistance Factored Design (LRFD) Bridge Design Specifications mandate a design life of 75 years, the actual service life of bridge decks frequently falls short due to various factors such as heavy traffic load, unsatisfactory design, environmental stressors, etc., posing particular challenges to infrastructure management and public safety.This dissertation offers an in-depth study of load spectra, design provisions, and the deterioration of bridge decks. Nationwide weigh-in-motion data, encompassing over two hundred sites from 36 states across the United States, was utilized to scrutinize the load spectra affecting bridge decks. The analysis revealed that bridges, regardless of regional differences, are consistently subjected to overweight trucks and extreme axle loads.Additionally. The current design specifications are critiqued for lacking reliability calibration and rigorous substantiation. This research assesses the design provisions from three angles: design load, safety level (i.e., reliability index), and multiple presence factors (MPF). It was established that design loads fail to accurately represent and accommodate the real load spectra. The reliability indices for negative moment regions align closely with the target level, while the reliability indices highlight a potential safety concern at positive moment region and hereby emphasize the need for more refined analyses to provide justifications. Regardless of the shortcomings, a positive aspect of current design provisions is the inherent conservatism of the MPF.Finally, by integrating nationwide National Bridge Inventory (NBI) data and climate data from 49 states, this study identifies and ranks the factors contributing to bridge deck deterioration using a machine learning-based framework. Climate factors, traffic attributes, and bridge configurations are all regarded as critical determinants of the bridge deterioration rate. The study culminates in establishing the correlation between the service life of the bridge deck and the truck load spectra, revealing that both truck volume and weight can adversely affect deck service life.

description: The Conte-Musette method has been modified for the search of only elliptic solutions to systems of differential equations. A key idea of this a priory restriction is to simplify calculations by means of the use of a few Laurent series solutions instead of one and the use of the residue theorem. The application of our approach to the quintic complex one-dimensional Ginzburg-Landau equation (CGLE5) allows to find elliptic solutions in the wave form. We also find restrictions on coefficients, which are necessary conditions for the existence of elliptic solutions for the CGLE5. Using the investigation of the CGLE5 as an example, we demonstrate that to find elliptic solutions the analysis of a system of differential equations is more preferable than the analysis of the equivalent single differential equation.

It analyses certain cosmological parameters and examines their behaviours in this generalized setting which includes several decay laws in the literature. We have also obtained observational constraints on various model parameters and estimated the present values of cosmological parameters $\{Ω_{m_0}$, $Ω_{Λ_0}$, $q_{0}, t_{0}$, $ω_{0}\}$ and have discussed with various observational results. Finite time past and future singularities in this model are also discussed. \end{abstract}

Topological Strings on Grassmannian Calabi-Yau manifolds

description: We present solutions for the higher genus topological string amplitudes on Calabi-Yau-manifolds, which are realized as complete intersections in Grassmannians. We solve the B-model by direct integration of the holomorphic anomaly equations using a finite basis of modular invariant generators, the gap condition at the conifold and other local boundary conditions for the amplitudes. Regularity of the latter at certain points in the moduli space suggests a CFT description. The A-model amplitudes are evaluated using a mirror conjecture for Grassmannian Calabi-Yau by Batyrev, Ciocan-Fontanine, Kim and Van Straten. The integrality of the BPS states gives strong evidence for the conjecture.

description: We consider the optical dipole potential energy, which arises from the interaction of a two-level atom with a circularly polarized Laguerre-Gaussian laser beam of small waist. The beam is characterized by the existence of a longitudinal electric field component which is responsible for the appearance of a chiral term in the optical dipole potential energy. This term reverses sign if either the winding number or the wave polarization of the beam reverses sign. We propose a scheme of a bi-chromatic vortex interaction with the two-level atom in which the resulting optical dipole potential is fully chiral.

Transition of normal oral mucosa to squamous cell carcinoma involves induction of [alpha]v[beta]6 integrin
Creators: name: Hamidi, Sara
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Integrins are a family of cell surface receptors that mediate cell-matrix adhesion. They are believed to be essential molecules involved in tumour cell invasion and metastasis. It has been shown previously that the αv β6 integrin, a fibronectin and tenascin receptor, is not expressed in normal tissues, but may be associated with malignancy. In this study, we have used immunohistochemical localization technique to examine the expression and distribution of αv β6 integrin in frozen sections of oral specimens representing 40 leukoplakia patients, 11 squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs), 5 hyperplasia, 8 lichen planus, 2 mucosal wounds, 3 periodontal pocket samples and 11 normal subjects. Integrins αv, β1, β3, β4, β5, B6, fibronectin, and tenascin were localized using specific antibodies. The expression of β 1 integrins was consistent throughout the basal layer, and that of the β4 at the cell surface facing the basement membrane of all tissues. The integrins β3 and β5 were both absent from all normal and leukoplakia tissue specimens. The integrin αv β6 was highly expressed throughout the whole lesion of 90% of the SCCs but it was not present in any of the normal specimens. It was also expressed in 25% of the leukoplakia specimens, and 90% of the lichen planus samples, but in none of the tissues with hyperplasia only. In some leukoplakia sections, the expression of αv β6 integrin was only seen in a few cells at the tips of the rete ridges, whereas in others a range of basal cells expressed this integrin. Fibronectin and tenascin were both present in the connective tissue underneath the epithelium of all the sections, and their expression was similar in both αv β6 positive and av β6 negative tissues. Based on these findings and earlier results, we speculate that the expression of αvB6 integrin in leukoplakia lesions could play a role in their malignant transformation and particularly in tumour cell migration and invasion in fibronectin-rich matrix. Moreover, in lichen planus lesions, the induction of this integrin may be caused by cytokines associated with inflammation that are specific for lichen. This study proposes that the presence of αv β6 integrin in premalignant tissues could be used as an adjunct in tumour diagnostics.

description: Braess' paradox has been shown to appear rather generically in many systems of transport on networks. It is especially relevant for vehicular traffic where it shows that in certain situations building a new road in an urban or highway network can lead to increased average travel times for all users. Here we address the question whether this changes if the drivers (agents) have access to traffic information as available for modern traffic networks, i.e. through navigation apps and or personal experiences in the past. We study the effect of traffic information in the classical Braess network, but using a microscopic model for the traffic dynamics, to find out if the paradox can really be observed in such a scenario or if it only exists in some theoretically available user optima that are never realized by drivers that base their route choice decisions intelligently upon realistic traffic information. We address this question for different splits of the two information types.

description: A technique for constructing an infinite tower of pairs of PT-symmetric Hamiltonians, $\hat{H}_n$ and $\hat{K}_n$ (n=2,3,4,...), that have exactly the same eigenvalues is described. The eigenvalue problem for the first Hamiltonian $\hat{H}_n$ of the pair must be posed in the complex domain, so its eigenfunctions satisfy a complex differential equation and fulfill homogeneous boundary conditions in Stokes' wedges in the complex plane. The eigenfunctions of the second Hamiltonian $\hat{K}_n$ of the pair obey a real differential equation and satisfy boundary conditions on the real axis. This equivalence constitutes a proof that the eigenvalues of both Hamiltonians are real. Although the eigenvalue differential equation associated with $\hat{K}_n$ is real, the Hamiltonian $\hat{K}_n$ exhibits quantum anomalies (terms proportional to powers of $\hbar$). These anomalies are remnants of the complex nature of the equivalent Hamiltonian $\hat{H}_n$. In the classical limit in which the anomaly terms in $\hat{K}_n$ are discarded, the pair of Hamiltonians $H_{n,classical}$ and $K_{n,classical}$ have closed classical orbits whose periods are identical.

Many-fermion wave functions: structure and examples

description: Many-fermion Hilbert space has the algebraic structure of a free module generated by a finite number of antisymmetric functions called shapes. Physically, each shape is a many-body vacuum, whose excitations are described by symmetric functions (bosons). The infinity of bosonic excitations accounts for the infinity of Hilbert space, while all shapes can be generated algorithmically in closed form. The shapes are geometric objects in wave-function space, such that any given many-body vacuum is their intersection. Correlation effects in laboratory space are geometric constraints in wave-function space. Algebraic geometry is the natural mathematical framework for the particle picture of quantum mechanics. Simple examples of this scheme are given, and the current state of the art in generating shapes is described from the viewpoint of treating very large function spaces.

Transcription Related Genetic Variation in Human Genome
Creators: name: Scala, Giovanni
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II
Year: 2015

description: The advances in genomic technology in the last years led to a dramatic reduction in the costs of producing and analysing genomic data.
The variety of biological features, for which genomic data have been produced, leads to the unprecedented possibility to analyse the relationships between these features at a genome-wide level for an ever-increasing number of samples. Specialised bioinformatics approaches are thus needed to approach this enormous amount of data and to investigate biological problems in a focused manner.
The aim of this work was to develop techniques to analyse genomic signals related to the transcriptional process in human, by taking advantage of the current availability of public datasets.
A series of statistical/bioinformatics procedures to extract and analyse several aspects of the distribution of genomic signals in a set of genomic loci of interest were designed.
These techniques were applied to investigate the structural variation around human transcription start sites and human polyadenylation sites as well as the influence of evolutionary and non-evolutionary forces in shaping this variability.
Several genomic structural signals, from single nucleotide polymorphisms to nucleosomes occupation and several genomic related characteristics (conservation, biased gene conversion and pathogenicity) were analysed.
The overall results showed that variants tend to distribute not at random manner around these two classes of sites.
The way in which variants distribute seems to be related to their frequency. Moreover, the comparison of these distributions with other genomic signals suggests that sequence composition, chromatin structure and natural selection play an active role on the insurgence and the maintenance of such diversity.
The presented results need of course to be extended and experimentally validated, but represent a step forward in our understanding of how genetic variability arise and how it is maintained in such critical DNA regions.

description: Despite major advances in climate science over the last 30 years, persistent uncertainties in projections of future climate change remain. Climate projections are produced with increasingly complex models which attempt to represent key processes in the Earth system, including atmospheric and oceanic circulations, convection, clouds, snow, sea-ice, vegetation and interactions with the carbon cycle. Uncertainties in the representation of these processes feed through into a range of projections from the many state-of-the-art climate models now being developed and used worldwide. For example, despite major improvements in climate models, the range of equilibrium global warming due to doubling carbon dioxide still spans a range of more than three. Here we review a promising way to make use of the ensemble of climate models to reduce the uncertainties in the sensitivities of the real climate system. The emergent constraint approach uses the model ensemble to identify a relationship between an uncertain aspect of the future climate and an observable variation or trend in the contemporary climate. This review summarises previous published work on emergent constraints, and discusses the huge promise and potential dangers of the approach. Most importantly, it argues that emergent constraints should be based on well-founded physical principles such as the fluctuation-dissipation theorem. It is hoped that this review will stimulate physicists to contribute to the rapidly developing field of emergent constraints on climate projections, bringing to it much needed rigour and physical insights.

description: This series of papers is intended to evaluate astrocladistics in reconstructing phylogenies of galaxies. The objective of this second paper is to formalize the concept of galaxy formation and to identify the processes of diversification. We show that galaxy diversity can be expected to organize itself in a hierarchy. In order to better understand the role of mergers, we have selected a sample of 43 galaxies from the GALICS database built from simulations with a hybrid model for galaxy formation studies. These simulated galaxies, described by 119 characters and considered as representing still undefined classes, have experienced different numbers of merger events during evolution. Our cladistic analysis yields a robust tree that proves the existence of a hierarchy. Mergers, like interactions (not taken into account in the GALICS simulations), are probably a strong driver for galaxy diversification. Our result shows that mergers participate in a branching type of evolution, but do not seem to play the role of an evolutionary clock.

description: Investigations for decay of unstable D-brane and rolling of accelerated D-brane dynamics have revealed that various proposed prescriptions give different result for spectral amplitudes and observables. Here, we study them with particular attention to unitarity and open-closed channel duality. From "ab initio" derivation in the open string channel, both in Euclidean and Lorentzian worldsheet approaches, we find heretofore overlooked contribution to the spectral amplitudes and obervables. The contribution is fortuitously absent for decay of unstable D-brane, but is present for rolling of accelerated D-brane. We finally show that the contribution is imperative for ensuring unitarity and optical theorem at each order in string loop expansion.

description: Using selection rules imposed by the Pauli principle, we classify pairing correlations according to their symmetry properties with respect to spin, momentum, and energy. We observe that inhomogeneity always leads to mixing of even- and odd-energy pairing components. We investigate the superconducting pairing correlations present near interfaces between superconductors and ferromagnets, with focus on clean systems consisting of singlet superconductors and either weak or half-metallic ferromagnets. Spin-active scattering in the interface region induces all of the possible symmetry components. In particular, the long-range equal-spin pairing correlations have odd-frequency s-wave and even-frequency p-wave components of comparable magnitudes. We also analyze the Josephson current through a half-metal. We find analytic expressions and an interesting universality in the temperature dependence of the critical current in the tunneling limit.

description: This report examines the potential for statistical forecast models to improve the performance of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) long-term agricultural baseline projections for the harvested area for U.S. corn, soybeans, and wheat. After-the-fact analysis for years 1997 to 2017 reveals the baseline projections have, historically, consistently overestimated the harvested area of wheat and underestimated soybean area. The baseline projections also tend to underestimate the corn area, though to a lesser degree. Part of the difference between the projections and realized values is likely attributable to policy, program, weather, and other unforeseen changes when USDA developed the projections. Still, the results of quantitative forecast models show there may be substantial potential for improvement on the existing methodology. Forecasts generated using 3 econometric time-series models did not improve performance relative to the current baseline approach for nearer forecast horizons but improved performance for projection horizon lengths of 8-10, 2-10, and 4-10 years for harvested area of corn, soybeans, and wheat, respectively, when using 1 of our statistical measures. The forecasts generated using the econometric models produce predictions with an average absolute forecasting error 10 years out that is between 26 percent to 60 percent smaller than those provided by baseline projections. The results suggest that econometric models offer the potential to improve the performance of forecasting long-term trends in agricultural markets. As of 2020, USDA begun using statistical forecast models such as these when developing its long-term agricultural projections as complements to the existing process. USDA is also in the process of testing these models for additional commodities to improve the long-term projections for all commodities.
Experiencing site and ritual : an island cemetery
Creators: name: Levey, Amanda Jane
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The thesis project consists of a non-denominational chapel and cemetery on a small island in Indian Arm on the North Shore of Vancouver. The design attempts to create a sacred place for individuals with no religious beliefs or religious affiliations. The project explores several themes including the relationship of architecture to site, how architectural from can give meaning to the ritual of funeral without relying on religious symbolism and ways in which the spatial experience of the'site and the architecture can allow for individuals to connect with nature. To abstract the journey of the dead to another world, a sequence containing thresholds was designed to allow for a varied spatial and emotional experience as one moves in and through the site and the chapel. For example the experience of the sublime in the canal is intended to encourage the questioning of one's own existence.

description: Numerous studies have documented the risk for suicide among recent-era veterans with combat experience. Recently, moral injury has emerged as a possible contributor to suicidality in veterans. To that end, no study has approached the combat exposure-moral injury-suicidality link with a focus grounded in positive psychology. Specifically, the present study explored whether positive rumination, or the reflection on positive emotions and moods, may buffer the deleterious effects of potentially traumatic experiences in warzones on moral injury and suicidality. This study was a secondary analysis of 250 current or former U.S. military members (Mage = 33.3 years) who had deployed at least one time as part of their occupational duties. Participants completed an online survey that assessed combat exposure, moral injury, suicidality, and responses to positive affect. Combat exposure, moral injury, and suicidality were all positively associated. In the mediation model, moral injury did not mediate the relationship between combat exposure and suicidality. In the moderated mediation model, positive rumination moderated the indirect effect of combat exposure on suicide via moral injury, as well as all three direct relationships between combat, moral injury, and suicidality. These findings provide much needed insight into the effects of combat on military mental health. Additionally, results suggest positive rumination may serve as a buffer to reduce the associations between combat exposure, moral injury, and suicidality. Implications from the present study may be used to promote awareness of positive affective states and encourage research on positive rumination inducing strategies for combat veterans, at-risk military members, or as prevention strategies for general military populations.

description: Some thermodynamical magnitudes of interest in a pure neutron plasma are studied within the framework of the non-relativistic Brueckner-Hartree-Fock approximation at finite density and temperature. We use Skyrme and Gogny forces to describe such a neutron plasma and study the main differences that arise in these two effective parametrizations of the nuclear interaction when a strong magnetic field induces a permanent magnetization in the gas. The existence of a non-zero permanent spin polarization in a neutron plasma is explored in the density-temperature parameter space. We find that for moderate temperatures and in the low density range up to densities $\approx 0.5ρ_0$ both parametrizations predict that as density decreases an increasingly strong magnetization is allowed. In the range $0.5 ρ_0 \lesssim ρ\lesssim 3 ρ_0$ there is an approximately constant polarization that can be as big as $\approx 12%$ for the maximum allowed interior magnetic field $B \approx 10^{18}$ G. For higher densities there is a dramatic difference in the polarization trend followed by Skyrme an Gogny forces. While the former predict a ferromagnetic phase transition, the Gogny forces prevent it keeping the magnetization below 5%.

X-ray Absorption in Type II Quasars: Implications for the Equatorial Paradigm of Broad Absorption Line Quasars

description: In this article, the hydrogen column densities derived from X-ray observations of type II (hidden) quasars and broad absorption line quasars (BALQSOs) are compared. These column densities represent the amount of absorbing material between the X-ray source and the observer. A sample of type II QSOs with strong narrow emission lines, weak UV continuum and no broad emission lines that also have deep X-ray observations was collected from the literature for analysis. The standard model of equatorial BAL (broad absorption line) winds predicts that the column densities of this type II QSO sample should significantly exceed BALQSO column densities. Based on the existing published deep hard X-ray observations this does not seem to be true, the BALQSO absorption columns are anomalously large. Actually, the limited existing data indicate that BALQSOs have column densities which are larger than the type II QSO column densities at a statistically significant level. The implication to BAL outflows and the fundamental physical geometry of QSOs is discussed.

Traditional techniques for estimating contingency reserve fail to capture subjective uncertainties and expert knowledge, and they rely on historical data. This paper proposes a fuzzy risk analysis model (FRAM) that uses fuzzy arithmetic to analyze risk and opportunity events and determine construction project contingency reserve. The FRAM allows experts to use natural language to assess the probability and impact of risk and opportunity events by employing linguistic scales represented by fuzzy numbers, thus addressing the data reliance problem of probabilistic methods. It enables experts to customize linguistic scales and fuzzy numbers for different project types and stages. The FRAM also deals with the challenges associated with deterministic approaches by addressing measurement imprecision and the subjective uncertainty of experts’ opinions.

Moreover, the FRAM allows analysts to estimate contingency at different levels of confidence. This paper also illustrates Fuzzy Risk Analyzer© (FRA©), software that implements the fuzzy arithmetic procedure of the FRAM.
A System-Level Engineering Approach for Preliminary Performance Analysis and Design of Global Navigation Satellite System Constellations

description: This paper presents a system-level engineering approach for the preliminary coverage performance analysis and the design of a generic Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) constellation. This analysis accounts for both the coverage requirements and the robustness to transient or catastrophic failures of the constellation. The European GNSS, Galileo, is used as reference case to prove the effectiveness of the proposed tool. This software suite, named GNSS Coverage Analysis Tool (G-CAT), requires as input the state vector of each satellite of the constellation and provides the performance of the GNSS constellation in terms of coverage. The tool offers an orbit propagator, an attitude propagator, an algorithm to identify the visibility region on the Earth's surface from each satellite, and a counter function to compute how many satellites are in view from given locations on the Earth's surface. Thanks to its low computational burden, the tool can be adopted to compute the optimal number of satellites per each orbital plane by verifying if the coverage and accuracy requirements are fulfilled under the assumption of uniform in-plane angular spacing between coplanar satellites.

description: Sub-millisecond pulsars should be triaxial (Jacobi ellipsoids), which may not spin down to super-millisecond periods via gravitation wave radiation during their lifetimes if they are extremely low mass bare strange quark stars. It is addressed that the spindown of sub-millisecond pulsars would be torqued dominantly by gravitational wave radiation (with braking index n ~ 5). The radio luminosity of sub-millisecond pulsars could be high enough to be detected in advanced radio telescopes. Sub-millisecond pulsars, if detected, should be very likely quark stars with low masses and/or small equatorial ellipticities.

description: The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) grism PEARS (Probing Evolution And Reionization Spectroscopically) survey provides a large dataset of low-resolution spectra from thousands of galaxies in the GOODS North and South fields. One important subset of objects in these data are emission-line galaxies (ELGs), and we have investigated several different methods aimed at systematically selecting these galaxies. Here we present a new methodology and results of a search for these ELGs in the PEARS observations of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (HUDF) using a 2D detection method that utilizes the observation that many emission lines originate from clumpy knots within galaxies. This 2D line-finding method proves to be useful in detecting emission lines from compact knots within galaxies that might not otherwise be detected using more traditional 1D line-finding techniques. We find in total 96 emission lines in the HUDF, originating from 81 distinct "knots'' within 63 individual galaxies. We find in general that [OIII] emitters are the most common, comprising 44% of the sample, and on average have high equivalent widths (70% of [OIII] emitters having rest-frame EW>100A). There are 12 galaxies with multiple emitting knots--with different knots exhibiting varying flux values, suggesting that the differing star formation properties across a single galaxy can in general be probed at redshifts z~0.2-0.4. The most prevalent morphologies are large face-on spirals and clumpy interacting systems, many being unique detections owing to the 2D method described here, thus highlighting the strength of this technique.

Molecular Transport Junctions: Propensity Rules for Inelastic Electron Tunneling Spectra

description: We develop a series of propensity rules for interpreting Inelastic Electron Tunneling (IET) spectra of single-molecule transport junctions. IETS has no selection rules, such as those seen in optical, infrared and Raman spectra, because IETS features arise not from the field-dipole interaction characterizing these other spectroscopies, but from vibronic modification of the electronic levels. Expansion of the Landauer-Imry formula in Taylor series in molecular normal coordinates gives a convenient, accurate perturbation-type formula for calculating both frequency and intensity of the IETS spectrum. Expansion in a Dyson-like form permits derivation of propensity rules, both symmetry-based and pathway-deduced, allowing correlation of structure and coupling geometry with the IETS spectrum. These propensity rules work very well for the calculated spectrum of four typical molecular bridges.

A highly abnormal massive star mass function in the Orion Nebula cluster and the dynamical decay of trapezia systems

description: The ONC appears to be unusual on two grounds: The observed constellation of the OB stars of the entire Orion Nebula cluster and its Trapezium at its centre implies a time-scale problem given the age of the Trapezium, and an IMF problem for the whole OB star population in the ONC. Given the estimated crossing time of the Trapezium, it ought to have totally dynamically decayed by now. Furthermore, by combining the lower limit of the ONC mass with a standard IMF it emerges that the ONC should have formed at least about 40 stars heavier than 5 M_sun while only ten are observed. Using N-body experiments we (i) confirm the expected instability of the trapezium and (ii) show that beginning with a compact OB-star configuration of about 40 stars the number of observed OB stars after 1 Myr within 1 pc radius and a compact trapezium configuration can both be reproduced. These two empirical constraints thus support our estimate of 40 initial OB stars in the cluster. Interestingly, a more-evolved version of the ONC resembles the Upper Scorpius OB association. The N-body experiments are performed with the new C-code CATENA by integrating the equations of motion using the chain-multiple-regularisation method. In addition, we present a new numerical formulation of the initial mass function.
