description: We consider the family of singularity-free rotating black hole solutions in Einstein's conformal gravity found in Bambi, Modesto & Rachwal (2017) and we constrain the value of the conformal parameter $L$ from the analysis of a 30 ks NuSTAR observation of the stellar-mass black hole in GS 1354-645 during its outburst in 2015. Our new constraint is much stronger than that found in previous work. Here we obtain $L/M < 0.12$ (99% confidence level, statistical uncertainty only).

description: We observed with the VLBA at 2.3 and 8.6 GHz a complete flux-density limited sample of 482 radio sources with declination >+75 degrees brighter than 200 mJy at 1.4 GHz drawn from the NVSS catalog. 34% of the sources show parsec-scale emission above the flux density detection limit of 30 mJy; their accurate positions and parsec-scale structure parameters are determined. Among all the sources detected at least at the shortest VLBA baselines, the majority, or 72%, has a steep single-dish spectrum. The fraction of the sources with a detectable parsec-scale structure is above 95% among the flat-spectrum and close to 25% among the steep-spectrum objects. We identified 82 compact steep-spectrum source candidates, which make up 17% of the sample; most of them are reported for the first time. The compactness and the brightness temperature of the sources in our sample show a positive correlation with single-dish and VLBA spectral indices. All the sources with a significant 8 GHz variability were detected by the VLBA snapshot observations, which independently confirmed their compactness. We demonstrated that 54% of the sources detected by the VLBA at 2.3 GHz in our sample have a steep VLBA spectrum. The compact radio emission of these sources is likely dominated by optically thin jets or mini-lobes, not by an opaque jet core. These results show that future VLBI surveys aimed to search for new sources with parsec-scale structure should include not only flat-spectrum sources, but also steep-spectrum ones in order to reach an acceptable level of completeness.

title: Sonic Crystal Noise Barriers
Creators: name: Chong, Yung Boon
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2012

description: An alternative road traffic noise barrier using an array of periodically arranged vertical cylinders known as a Sonic Crystal (SC) is investigated. As a result of multiple (Bragg) scattering, SCs exhibit a selective sound attenuation in frequency bands called band gaps or stop bands related to the spacing and size of the cylinders. Theoretical studies using Plane Wave Expansion (PWE), Multiple Scattering Theory (MST) and Finite Element Method (FEM) have enabled study of the performance of SC barriers. Strategies for improving the band gaps by employing the intrinsic acoustic properties of the scatterer are considered. The use of the tube cavity (Helmholtz type) resonances in Split Ring Resonator (SRR) or the breathing mode resonances observed in thin elastic shells is shown to increase Insertion loss (IL) in the low-frequency range below the first Bragg stop band. Subsequently, a novel design of composite scatterer uses these 2 types of cylindrical scatterer in a concentric configuration with multiple symmetrical slits on the outer rigid shell. An array of composite scatterers forms a system of coupled resonators and gives rise to multiple low-frequency resonances. Measurements have been made in an anechoic chamber and also on a full-scale prototypes outdoors under various meteorological conditions. The experimental results are found to confirm the existence of the Bragg band gaps for SC barriers and the predicted significant improvements when locally resonant scatterers are used. The resonant arrays are found to give rise to relatively angle-independent stop bands in a useful range of frequencies. Good agreement between computational modelling and experimental work is obtained. Studies have been made also of the acoustical performances of regular arrays of cylindrical elements, with their axes aligned and parallel to a ground plane including predictions and laboratory experiment.

description: Since the launch of the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer in 1995 our understanding of jetted outflows has significantly improved. Indeed, relativistic jets are now believed to be a fairly ubiquitous property of accreting compact objects, that are intimately coupled with the accretion history. In this review, we summarize the observational connections in X-ray binaries between accretion flows and relativistic outflows (especially the relation with the X-ray states). We emphasize those aspects that have significantly benefited from the RXTE experiment, including the role that jets could play at high energies. We also review recent observations of large scale relativistic jets that could point to their long term effects on the interstellar medium.

description: The current policy of external financial support households undoubtedly exert a positive influence on agricultural incomes in the EU. This effect was varied due to the different levels of financial support. Recent changes in the common agricultural policy caused the reduction of subsidies dedicated to income support, while the part of support aimed to offset additional costs occurring on farms was increased (additional costs related to the expansion of their services for the benefit of the environment and other public goods). This direction of changes weakens the role of subsidies in the development of agricultural income, but still most of the financing is directed to farms for the purpose of stabilizing their income. In consideration of possible liquidation or significant reduction of external financial support from the budget should keep in mind the consequences for the development of the agricultural income.

description: We report results of a magnetic and transport study of SrRu1-xMnxO3, i.e., Mn doped SrRuO3. The Mn doping drives the system from the itinerant ferromagnetic state (TC=165 K for x=0) through a quantum critical point at xc=0.39 to an insulating antiferromagnetic state. The onset of antiferromagnetism is abrupt with a Neel temperature increasing from 205 K for x=0.44 to 250 K for x=0.59. Accompanying this quantum phase transition is a drastic change in resistivity by as much as 8 orders of magnitude as a function of x at low temperatures. The critical composition xc=0.39 sharply separates the two distinct ground states, namely the ferromagnetic metal from the antiferromagnetic insulator.

The assessment indicates that farms of south-eastern Polish region range of different criteria (social, environmental and economic) achieved an average degree of sustainability, while degree of sustainability in farms of north-eastern Polish region was high. Based on the results, it was found that on farms in the Podkarpacie region has been disrupted implementation of the objectives of income equalization, and thus the living conditions of the rural population.
Infants’ understanding of signs : linking sounds and concepts
Creators: name: Yeung, Ho Henny
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Spoken words are semiotic signs: speech sounds which function to signify concepts in the world. Infants’ emerging understanding of the semiotic relation between sounds and concepts is explored here. First, basic questions from the philosophy of semiotics are recast as broader questions relevant for the psychological study of word-learning in infancy. Developmental aspects of one particular semiotic principle are explored in an empirical study which investigates whether infants bi-directionally link sounds and concepts. Previous research has suggested that this link is present, at least in one direction, very early in infancy: the presence of a word influences the structure of concepts, even before infants are able to robustly learn the referents of new words. The converse question is the topic of the present work: does the presence of an object when hearing speech sounds facilitate discrimination and identification of these sounds as potential word forms? Two studies provide evidence that for 9-month-old infants this is indeed the case. In Study 1, infants were exposed to a familiarization phase in which sounds from two non-native phonetic categories were contrastive, paired concordantly with two objects. In Study 2, another group was exposed to a familiarization phase in which the sounds where not contrastive, paired discordantly with the objects. Infants only succeeded in discriminating the contrast in the former case, suggesting that they must have used the link between sound and object to categorize the phonetic information. At an age when infants begin to have difficultly discriminating non-native phonetic contrasts, this research shows that infants can re-learn to discriminate this contrast if given evidence that it might signify two different words. This provides one example of how semiotic principles can be applied to research in language acquisition.

description: Electron transport through molecular quantum dots coupled to a single vibrational mode is studied in the Kondo regime. We apply a generalized Schrieffer-Wolff transformation to determine the effective low-energy spin-spin-vibron-interaction. From this model we calculate the nonlinear conductance and find Kondo sidebands located at bias-voltages equal to multiples of the vibron frequency. Due to selection rules, the side-peaks are found to have strong gate-voltage dependences, which can be tested experimentally. In the limit of weak electron-vibron coupling, we employ a perturbative renormalization group scheme to calculate analytically the nonlinear conductance.

Propagation of small perturbations in synchronized oscillator networks

description: We study the propagation of a harmonic perturbation of small amplitude on a network of coupled identical phase oscillators prepared in a state of full synchronization. The perturbation is externally applied to a single oscillator, and is transmitted to the other oscillators through coupling. Numerical results and an approximate analytical treatment, valid for random and ordered networks, show that the response of each oscillator is a rather well-defined function of its distance from the oscillator where the external perturbation is applied. For small distances, the system behaves as a dissipative linear medium: the perturbation amplitude decreases exponentially with the distance, while propagating at constant speed. We suggest that the pattern of interactions may be deduced from measurements of the response of individual oscillators to perturbations applied at different nodes of the network.

description: Narrow carbon nanotubes (CNTs) desalinate water, mimicking water channels of biological membranes, yet the physics behind selectivity, especially, the effect of the membrane embedding CNTs on water and ion transfer, is still unclear. Here, we report $ab$ $initio$ analysis of the energies involved in transfer of water and K$^+$ and Cl$^-$ ions from solution to empty and water-filled 0.68 nm CNTs, for different dielectric constants $ε$ of the surrounding matrix. The transfer energies computed for $1 \leq ε< \infty$ permit a transparent breakdown of the transfer energy to three main contributions: binding to CNT, intra-CNT hydration, and dielectric polarization of the matrix. The latter scales inversely with $ε$ and is of the order $10^2$/$ε$ kJ/mol for both ions, which may change ion transfer from favorable to unfavorable, depending on ion, $ε$, and CNT diameter. This may have broad implications for designing and tuning selectivity of nanochannel-based devices.

The authors have carried out exploratory research in the subject of motivation at the workplace amongst the young researchers participating in the Researchers Recruitment Programme of the National Agricultural Research and Innovation Center. Our questions are: What social background do those who choose this scientific career path have? Which factors motivate young researchers to choose this profession and which factors discourage them? In this article, the authors seek to find the answers to these questions and reinterpret Herzberg’s theory by addressing the Y-generation agricultural researchers.

description: Security is an increasing concern in software development. Developer Question and Answer (Q&A) websites provide a large amount of security discussion. Existing studies have used human-defined rules to mine security discussions, but these works still miss many posts, which may lead to an incomplete analysis of the security practices reported on Q&A websites. Traditional supervised Machine Learning methods can automate the mining process; however, the required negative (non-security) class is too expensive to obtain. We propose a novel learning framework, PUMiner, to automatically mine security posts from Q&A websites. PUMiner builds a context-aware embedding model to extract features of the posts, and then develops a two-stage PU model to identify security content using the labelled Positive and Unlabelled posts. We evaluate PUMiner on more than 17.2 million posts on Stack Overflow and 52,611 posts on Security StackExchange. We show that PUMiner is effective with the validation performance of at least 0.85 across all model configurations. Moreover, Matthews Correlation Coefficient (MCC) of PUMiner is 0.906, 0.534 and 0.084 points higher than one-class SVM, positive-similarity filtering, and one-stage PU models on unseen testing posts, respectively. PUMiner also performs well with an MCC of 0.745 for scenarios where string matching totally fails. Even when the ratio of the labelled positive posts to the unlabelled ones is only 1:100, PUMiner still achieves a strong MCC of 0.65, which is 160% better than fully-supervised learning. Using PUMiner, we provide the largest and up-to-date security content on Q&A websites for practitioners and researchers.

On the Unpulsed Radio Emission from J0737-3039
Creators: name: Treves, R. Turolla A.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The double pulsar system J0737-3039 appears associated with a continuous radio emission, nearly three times stronger than that of the two pulsars together. If such an emission comes from a tranparent cloud its spatial extent (> 10^13 cm) should be substantially larger than the orbital separation. Assuming homogeneity and equipartition, the cloud magnetic field is 0.03 G and the electron characteristic energy ~ 60 MeV. This is consistent with supposing that relativistic electrons produced in the shock formed by the interaction of the more luminous pulsar wind with the magnetosphere of the companion flow away filling a larger volume. Alternatively, the unpulsed emission may directly come from the bow shock if some kind of coherent mechanism is at work. Possible observational signatures that can dicriminate between the two pictures are shortly discussed.

title: The Quantification of Strike Pitch and Pitch Shifts in Church Bells
Creators: name: Hibbert, William A.
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2008

description: The primary objective of the work reported in this thesis was to quantify how the pitch or strike note of a bell is determined by the frequencies of its partials. Pitches of bells are generally virtual pitch or missing fundamental effects, generated in the ear rather than present as a frequency in the radiated sound. The exact pitch is shifted from that expected for the missing fundamental by changes in the frequency of various partials. This can cause bells whose partials are in theory tuned precisely, to sound out of tune by considerable fractions of a semitone. The pitch shifts were quantified at frequencies across the audible spectrum by a set of experiments carried out on 30 subjects. Subsidiary experiments established which partials create a bell’s pitch or pitches at different frequencies, and showed that partial amplitude does not significantly affect bell pitch. A simple model of pitch shift was devised from the test results which gave good agreement with the stretch tuning in a number of peals of bells. Stretch tuning has not previously been satisfactorily explained. The pitch shifts were also compared against Terhardt’s algorithm for virtual pitch, which did not predict the shifts seen in practice. To prepare for these experiments, a comprehensive investigation was done of the partial frequencies of over 2,000 bells with a wide range of dates, weights and founders. An unexpected and straightforward relationship was found between the frequencies of the upper partials which generate virtual pitches, which seems to apply to all bronze and steel bells of Western shape. The relative frequencies of these partials are in turn determined by the thickness of the bell’s wall near the rim. This relationship between the partials has not been previously reported, and explains previous failed attempts by bellfounders to tune these partials independently. The modified version of Chladni’s law proposed by Perrin and Rossing for these partial frequencies was found not to give as good a fit to their frequencies as the relationship discovered in this research. The work presented in this thesis is important for at least two reasons: • It provides new practical guidance for the design and tuning of bells • The shifts in virtual pitches observed as a result of upper partial changes support current research into pitch generation mechanisms in the human ear.

description: We considered the phantom cosmology with a lagrangian $\displaystyle L=\frac{1}η[1-\sqrt{1+ηg^{μν}ϕ_{, μ}ϕ_{, ν}}]-u(ϕ)$, which is original from the nonlinear Born-Infeld type scalar field with the lagrangian $\displaystyle L=\frac{1}η[1-\sqrt{1-ηg^{μν}ϕ_{, μ}ϕ_{, ν}}]-u(ϕ)$. This cosmological model can explain the accelerated expansion of the universe with the equation of state parameter $w\leq-1$. We get a sufficient condition for a arbitrary potential to admit a late time attractor solution: the value of potential $u(X_c)$ at the critical point $(X_c,0)$ should be maximum and large than zero. We study a specific potential with the form of $u(ϕ)=V_0(1+\fracϕ{ϕ_0})e^{(-\fracϕ{ϕ_0})}$ via phase plane analysis and compute the cosmological evolution by numerical analysis in detail. The result shows that the phantom field survive till today (to account for the observed late time accelerated expansion) without interfering with the nucleosynthesis of the standard model(the density parameter $Ω_ϕ\simeq10^{-12}$ at the equipartition epoch), and also avoid the future collapse of the universe.

description: We present a novel approach to generate higher-order initial conditions (ICs) for cosmological simulations that take into account the distinct evolution of baryons and dark matter. We focus on the numerical implementation and the validation of its performance, based on both collisionless N-body simulations and full hydrodynamic Eulerian and Lagrangian simulations. We improve in various ways over previous approaches that were limited to first-order Lagrangian perturbation theory (LPT). Specifically, we (1) generalize nth-order LPT to multi-fluid systems, allowing 2LPT or 3LPT ICs for two-fluid simulations, (2) employ a novel propagator perturbation theory to set up ICs for Eulerian codes that are fully consistent with 1LPT or 2LPT, (3) demonstrate that our ICs resolve previous problems of two-fluid simulations by using variations in particle masses that eliminate spurious deviations from expected perturbative results, (4) show that the improvements achieved by going to higher-order PT are comparable to those seen for single-fluid ICs, and (5) demonstrate the excellent (i.e., few per cent level) agreement between Eulerian and Lagrangian simulations, once high-quality initial conditions are used. The rigorous development of the underlying perturbation theory is presented in a companion paper. All presented algorithms are implemented in the Monofonic Music-2 package that we make publicly available.

Creators: name: Jacklin-Jarvis, Carol
Publisher: name: The Open University

description: The thesis explores inter-organisational collaboration across the divide between public and voluntary sectors in the context of children’s services in the UK. It explores how voluntary sector leaders ‘make things happen’ (Huxham and Vangen 2000) in this context, where the formal authority, control of resources, and decision-making appear to be in the hands of the public sector. Findings highlight the challenges of influencing dominant public sector agencies, the tensions which voluntary sector leaders experience, and the impact of the continually changing policy environment. The study emphasises the significance to these leaders of a distinct sense of voluntary sector identity, and of the contribution which voluntary organisations can make to the collaboration, and ultimately to the lives of children and families. This leads them to engage in activities which question, challenge, and disrupt their collaboration partners, whilst also engaging in more supportive and facilitative activities. The empirical research focuses on the practice of voluntary sector leaders through interviews and observations, but also presents an analysis of key government policy documents from children’s services during the period 2003-2012. This analysis reveals the ambiguity of concepts and narratives of cross-sector collaboration in these texts. Although policies and formal collaborative entities change when government changes, the ambiguity remains. Despite the challenges of this context, voluntary sector participants weave together layers of connectedness, which build collaborative capacity for future collaboration. This connectedness frequently begins with interpersonal relationships, but over time becomes embedded in the collaborative environment. The research suggests that this longer term approach to building collaborative relationships may provide a more positive perspective for voluntary sector leaders, who are frustrated by the experience of responding to public sector dominance and short-term policy initiatives.

description: SEISMEC aims to demonstrate the concept of human-centricity across a wide array of industry sectors, scales and sociotechnical contexts in the EU. Through 17 pilots spanning 14 key industrial ecosystems embedded in the European Single Market, SEISMEC will demonstrate how human-centric solutions can effectively empower workers in the co-design and co-development of new technologies, thus facilitating the journey towards a skills-driven and creativity-infused industrial landscape; one that is built around high-quality, sustainable jobs, and prioritises overall worker security and satisfaction. SEISMEC advocates for a multidimensional transformation that hinges on fair and trustworthy technology, ethical incentives, capacity building and democratisation as key enablers to fundamentally change the way workers see themselves and are seen within their organisations.

Response of a Hexagonal Granular Packing under a Localized External Force: Exact Results

description: We study the response of a two-dimensional hexagonal packing of massless, rigid, frictionless spherical grains due to a vertically downward point force on a single grain at the top layer. We use a statistical approach, where each mechanically stable configuration of contact forces is equally likely. We show that this problem is equivalent to a correlated $q$-model. We find that the response is double-peaked, where the two peaks, sharp and single-grain diameter wide, lie on the two downward lattice directions emanating from the point of the application of the external force. For systems of finite size, the magnitude of these peaks decreases towards the bottom of the packing, while progressively a broader, central maximum appears between the peaks. The response behaviour displays a remarkable scaling behaviour with system size $N$: while the response in the bulk of the packing scales as $\frac{1}{N}$, on the boundary it is independent of $N$, so that in the thermodynamic limit only the peaks on the lattice directions persist. This qualitative behaviour is extremely robust, as demonstrated by our simulation results with different boundary conditions. We have obtained expressions of the response and higher correlations for any system size in terms of integers corresponding to an underlying discrete structure.

Longitudinal analyses of medication adherence data in hiv-infected illicit drug users
Creators: name: Raffa, Jesse Daniel
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: It has been long established that adherence to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) is extremely important for therapeutic outcomes for the treatment of HIV-infection. With the advent of HAART, decreases in morbidity and mortality have been observed in HIVinfected individuals. However, these decreases have not generally been extended to injection drug users (IDUs) whom have additional barrier to access HAART, including adherence. Strategies such as directly observed therapy (DOT) have been successful in treating IDUs, especially when they are used in conjunction with methadone maintenance programs. Within these programs HAART and methadone are co-administered, which makes it possible to estimate HAART adherence through a surrogate, methadone adherence. With this in mind we sought to assess if ongoing illicit drug use within such a program would affect methadone adherence. Decreased methadone adherence was noted during periods of opiate use. Furthermore, we sought to assess the relationships between HAART adherence and each of virologic suppression and the emergence of drug resistance mutations. In the former, robust rates of virologic suppression were observed at every adherence level during maintenance therapy with the exception of the 80-90% adherence level where higher rates of virologic failure were observed. This may be explained by a phenomena observed when assessing the latter where higher rates of the accumulation of new drug resistance mutations were observed at the 80-90% level. Although this intermediate level of adherence has been previously described, the estimated range of adherence values reported in this thesis is much narrower than those reported in the literature. All such analyses were conducted in a longitudinal framework, with data analysis done using generalized estimating equations (GEE). Although a cross-sectional approach is typically conducted for these types of studies, a longitudinal approach is better able to localize the outcomes (e.g. virologic suppression) to the periods and patterns of non-adherence. This may explain some of the differences found in the studies contained in this thesis which may disagree with the findings in previous reports. With this in mind, it may be important to look at adherence to HAART in a more insightful manner than has been traditionally done.
Explicit isometric embeddings of collapsing dust ball

description: The work is devoted to the search for explicit isometric embeddings of a metric corresponding to the collapse of spherically symmetric matter with the formation of a black hole. Two approaches are considered: in the first, the embedding is constructed for the whole manifold at once; in the second, the idea of a junction of solutions, obtained separately for areas inside and outside the dust ball, is used. In the framework of the first approach, a global smooth embedding in 7D space with a signature (2 + 5) was constructed. It corresponds to the formation of the horizon as a result of matter falling from infinity. The second approach generally leads to an embedding in 7D space with the signature (1 + 6). This embedding corresponds to the case when matter flies out of a white hole with the disappearance of its horizon, after which the radius of the dust ball reaches its maximum, and then a collapse occurs with the formation of the horizon of a black hole. The embedding obtained is not smooth everywhere --- it contains a kink on the edge of the dust ball, and {also, it is} not quite global. In the particular case, when the maximum radius of the dust ball coincides with the radius of the horizon, it is possible to construct a global smooth embedding in a flat 6D space with a signature (1 + 5).

description: The paper presents the role of consulting and information services in relation to the development of agribusiness. In the era of free market economy, without the support of business development there is no way to pursue the objectives of the Common Agricultural Policy, which speaks about diversification of sources of income for farm families by creating non-agricultural jobs and innovativeness of their agricultural production. An example of the support mechanisms promoting access to consulting services for rural dwellers are the activities that finance the costs incurred in this respect for the beneficiaries. One of such activities was the use of consulting services by farmers and forest owners, implemented under the RDP 2007-2013. Results demonstrated great interest of the beneficiaries; within five years of recruitment, the number of applications (NOA) was 63 899. As a result, after verification 71.78% of applications (i.e. 45 864) received financing. The projects in the area of provision of free consulting and information services are taken up also by institutions promoting the development of Polish business, the so called consulting points. The paper presents the partial results of the project dedicated to providing services for the development of entrepreneurship by the selected Local Consulting Point in Małopolskie Voivodship. Implementation of the project allowed 4358 beneficiaries from Małopolskie to use the consulting and information services. 32% of these enterprises were based in rural areas.

Cosmological perturbations for two cold fluids in $Λ$CDM

description: The cosmic large-scale structure of our Universe is comprised of baryons and cold dark matter (CDM). Yet it is customary to treat these two components as a combined single-matter fluid with vanishing pressure, which is justified only for sufficiently large scales and late times. Here we go beyond the single-fluid approximation and develop the perturbation theory for two gravitationally coupled fluids while still assuming vanishing pressure. We mostly focus on perturbative expansions in powers of $D$ (or $D_+$), the linear structure growth of matter in a $Λ$CDM Universe with cosmological constant $Λ$. We derive in particular (1) explicit recursion relations for the two fluid densities, (2) complementary all-order results in the Lagrangian-coordinates approach, as well as (3) the associated component wavefunctions in a semi-classical approach to cosmic large-scale structure. In our companion paper (Hahn et al. 2020) we apply these new theoretical results to generate novel higher-order initial conditions for cosmological hydrodynamical simulations.
