Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018

description: Using the results from the 2017 Data Liberation Initiative (DLI) Contacts and Alternates Survey, we will paint a picture of the diversity of the data librarian or specialist across the Canadian academic data landscape. A background of the survey will be reviewed briefly, followed by a description of what the data profession in 2017 entailed and if it has changed since the previous survey in 2012. The DLI Contacts and Alternates Survey explores how data services are implemented in nearly 80 Canadian universities and colleges, types and frequencies of data-related questions and instruction-related activities, research data management at the institution, and the types of training and services DLI provides and how it is used.

description: Imaging phantoms are test patterns used to measure image quality in computer tomography (CT) systems. A new phantom platform (Mercury Phantom, Gammex) provides test patterns for estimating the task transfer function (TTF) or noise power spectrum (NPF) and simulates different patient sizes. Determining which image slices are suitable for analysis currently requires manual annotation of these patterns by an expert, as subtle defects may make an image unsuitable for measurement. We propose a method of automatically classifying these test patterns in a series of phantom images using deep learning techniques. By adapting a convolutional neural network based on the VGG19 architecture with weights trained on ImageNet, we use transfer learning to produce a classifier for this domain. The classifier is trained and evaluated with over 3,500 phantom images acquired at a university medical center. Input channels for color images are successfully adapted to convey contextual information for phantom images. A series of ablation studies are employed to verify design aspects of the classifier and evaluate its performance under varying training conditions. Our solution makes extensive use of image augmentation to produce a classifier that accurately classifies typical phantom images with 98% accuracy, while maintaining as much as 86% accuracy when the phantom is improperly imaged.

Building a bridge among experts: Data boot camp for East Asian studies librarians at the University of Michigan, United States
Creators: name: Jungwon Yang
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018

description: In the perspective of social science and data services librarians, providing effective reference services for international data is often not an easy task because of language barriers, copyright laws and license agreements, and different data sharing cultures across countries. Some help from area specialists would improve the chance of data librarians being able to discover and access useful international data sets. Most area specialists, such as East Asian studies librarians, however, are trained in the field of the humanities. They are not familiar with social science data reference services, quantitative research assistance, and data visualization resources. Therefore, it is quite difficult to promote collaboration between data librarians and area specialists in the given conditions. In November 2017, University of Michigan librarians and guest speakers provided a two day data boot camp for the East Asian region specialists in North America. This workshop designed to help them to understand useful and reliable international data resources, to enhance their capabilities to collaborate with data librarians, and to provide effective data consultation services to their own clients. In this presentation, I will explain how we designed the workshop, and will share our experiences what was the challenges and opportunities of this program.
Mapping historical Mississauga: Uncovering the city's changing landscapes online using historical maps and digital data
Creators: name: Handren, Kara

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018

description: The City of Mississauga is very young by Canadian standards, becoming a town in 1968 and reaching city status in 1974. In this short time, Mississauga has evolved from a loose rural grouping of villages and hamlets with a combined population of about 95,000 to being the sixth largest city in Canada with a population today of over 720,000. For better or worse, Mississauga is often held up as a case study of post-World War II urban change, and as an emergent Canadian suburb. One of the best resources for exploring this change is through the use of maps and digital data. The Scholars GeoPortal, a geospatial data discovery and delivery service, provides access to hundreds of maps and geospatial datasets related both to modern day and historical Mississauga, some of which also provide coverage on a national scale. Our presentation will highlight many of these resources and outline how they can provide research impact in various disciplines. By allowing researchers to track the development of Mississauga using maps and data that span the most important decades of the city's history, the Scholars GeoPortal provides a means to discover, analyse, visualize, and teach historical Mississauga.

description: We describe how unintegrated parton distributions can be calculated from conventional integrated distributions. We extend and improve the 'last-step' evolution approach, and explain why doubly-unintegrated parton distributions are necessary. We generalise k_t-factorisation to (z,k_t)-factorisation. We apply the formalism to inclusive jet production in deep-inelastic scattering, mainly at leading-order, but we also study the extension to next-to-leading order. We compare the predictions with recent HERA data.

description: We construct a sample of 10,680 wall galaxies and 3,064 void galaxies with $M_R \lesssim -20$ by cross referencing a void catalog from literature with Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) CMASS and WiggleZ galaxies, where the CMASS survey targets redder galaxies and the WiggleZ survey targets bluer galaxies. Comparing the density profiles of the red and blue galaxies as a function of the void radius, we find that the number ratio of red-to-blue galaxies increases with distances from the void centers, suggesting a deficit of luminous and normal red galaxies in voids. We find a mean (g -- r) magnitude color of 1.298 and 1.210 for the wall and void galaxies, respectively, when considering the combined red and blue sample, which is found to be a significant difference. However, when considering the blue and red samples separately, we find no significant color difference. We conclude that the constituents galaxies of each population, rather than intrinsic color difference, is the main driver in the apparent average color difference of galaxies in voids and walls, indicating a deficit of luminous and normal red galaxies in voids. Our analysis suggests that the primary environmental-dependence effect on galaxy evolution for normal and luminous galaxies between void and wall regions is manifested in the number of red galaxies, which depends on the environmental-dependent merger history. Using a semi-analytic simulation model, we can successfully reproduce the apparent color difference between the void and wall galaxies.

description: It is argued that it is far more cost effective to carry out some projects with medium-sized dedicated zenith telescopes rather than large steerable telescopes, freeing the later to carry out projects that truly need them. I show that the large number of objects observed with a surveying 4-m zenith telescope allows one to carry out cosmological projects at low redshifts. Examining two case studies, I show first that a variability survey would obtain light curves for several thousands of type Ia supernovae per year up to z=1 and easily discriminate among competing cosmological models. Finally, I discuss a second case study, consisting of a spectrophotometric survey carried out with interference filters, showing its power to discriminate among cosmological models and to study the large-scale distribution of galaxies in the Universe.

description: We study the probability distributions of interface roughness, sampled among successive equilibrium configurations of a single-interface model used for the description of Barkhausen noise in disordered magnets, in space dimensionalities $d=2$ and 3. The influence of a self-regulating (demagnetization) mechanism is investigated, and evidence is given to show that it is irrelevant, which implies that the model belongs to the Edwards-Wilkinson universality class. We attempt to fit our data to the class of roughness distributions associated to $1/f^α$ noise. Periodic, free, ``window'', and mixed boundary conditions are examined, with rather distinct results as regards quality of fits to $1/f^α$ distributions.

Post offices, railroads and land offices in the Canadian prairies, 1850-1900
Creators: name: Velasco, Gustavo
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018

description: This study is an interdisciplinary investigation that contributes to the analysis of Western Canada settlement by incorporating postal data, homesteads records and the historical railroad network into a Geographic Information System (GIS). For this project, I built a database based on textual records, gazetteers, pamphlets, and government documents. In this form, almost 1000 post offices and several land offices were georeferenced in GIS. In addition, I reconstructed the historical railroad expansion year by year to 1900 based on the actual railroad network. The location of post shows a pattern of occupied space year by year. In addition, it shows with certain precision the formation of communities, villages, and towns that emerged during the period. Moreover, spatial analyses that consider the distance of post offices, first to rivers and then to the railroad network, allow one to evaluate the importance of means of communications in the evolution of the frontier of settlement. Similarly, by analyzing updated homestead entries and cancellations data during the period, my investigation found that farmers' failures were more frequent than the classical literature assumed, particularly after the 1890s, a period that scholars regarded as one of more stable settlement.

description: The synchronization phenomenon is ubiquitous in nature. In ensembles of coupled oscillators, explosive synchronization is a particular type of transition to phase synchrony that is first-order as the coupling strength increases. Explosive sychronization has been observed in several natural systems, and recent evidence suggests that it might also occur in the brain. A natural system to study this phenomenon is the Kuramoto model that describes an ensemble of coupled phase oscillators. Here we calculate bi-variate similarity measures (the cross-correlation, $ρ_{ij}$, and the phase locking value, PLV$_{ij}$) between the phases, $ϕ_i(t)$ and $ϕ_j(t)$, of pairs of oscillators and determine the lag time between them as the time-shift, $τ_{ij}$, which gives maximum similarity (i.e., the maximum of $ρ_{ij}(τ)$ or PLV$_{ij}(τ)$). We find that, as the transition to synchrony is approached, changes in the distribution of lag times provide an earlier warning of the synchronization transition (either gradual or explosive). The analysis of experimental data, recorded from Rossler-like electronic chaotic oscillators, suggests that these findings are not limited to phase oscillators, as the lag times display qualitatively similar behavior with increasing coupling strength, as in the Kuramoto oscillators. We also analyze the statistical relationship between the lag times between pairs of oscillators and the existence of a direct connection between them. We find that depending on the strength of the coupling, the lags can be informative of the network connectivity.

description: This is a thesis about time. It is also a thesis about how philosophers argue about time. In the first part of the thesis I introduce two key positions in contemporary philosophical debate about time: presentism, and eternalism. Initially I define these competing positions using the standard existence-oriented definitions one commonly finds in the literature. However, I later argue that the standard definitions lead to confusion, and suggest that new definitions - based on the notion of concreteness - are to be preferred. In the second part of the thesis I look at the way that presentism and eternalism are positioned in the current temporal debate. I note that the presentist position is considered to be intuitively compelling, but that eternalism is regarded as being better supported by special relativity. I examine the place that common-sense has in philosophy, and explain why presentists continue to argue for their position despite the unambiguous scientific (and philosophical) evidence arrayed against it. I suggest that the standard arguments against presentism, while compelling, are unlikely to move presentists to reject presentism, as they fail to engage with presentism's underlying motivations. In the final part of the thesis I argue against the presentist position by demonstrating that presentism is incompatible with the motivations generally taken to support it. I look at the way that everyday experience fails to mesh with presentism's account of the present, and then ask whether presentism's ontology is rich enough to support the arrow of time. In the end I argue that presentism is unable to support either everyday experience or a preferred temporal direction, and that presentism should be rejected as a result.

description: Sifuvirtide (SFT) is the second generation inhibitor of HIV-1 gp41 fusion protein, which is under phase III clinical trial for anti-HIV. However, over a period of time virus develops resistance against SFT. To overcome resistance, methionine and threonine (MT) amino acids were implemented in the pocket binding domain of SFT namely MT-Sifuvirtide (MTSFT), which have more helicity; higher melting temperature and stability against resistance-virus. To date, the binding stability and functional role of MT-hook against wild type and mutant form of HIV-1 gp41 fusion protein are not known. In the present study, SFT and MTSFT were individually docked with the wild and V10A/A19I/Q24R mutant form of HIV-1 gp41. Further MD simulation was carried out to understand the stability of the ligand–protein complexes. The free energy values were calculated from the MD trajectories to understand the effect of mutation involved in the binding process. MD results revealed helix to loop type conformational changes in N-heptad repeat (NHR) of gp41 due to mutation. Intermolecular interactions reveal that MTSFT forms more strong interactions with NHR of gp41 than SFT, which is critical for six-helix bundle stabilisation. Hence, the results explained the detailed functional role of MT-hook against gp41 fusion at the molecular level.
The Green Tapestry : Weaving Biodiversity and Relaxation into Urban Fabric
Creators: name: Lin, Chenxi
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Stress is a frequently-occur problem among urban city office workers. Sitting for a long time in places with limited natural elements and views makes it hard for them to mitigate stress. Worse, outdoor spaces near office buildings in downtown Vancouver often consist of limited and pruned vegetation, and lack of places to sit down, making workers can not fully relax outside, either. Based on the stress-alleviating function of biodiversity and a literature review of studies about therapeutic features of natural landscape, especially With People in Mind by Rachel Kaplan, Stephen Kaplan, and Robert L. Ryan (2005), this project explores methods for turning spaces near office buildings into rest stops. Spaces are connected to form a relaxing green network.
Application of Jordan Decomposition to Non-Hermitian Lattice Models with Spectrally-Isolated Lower Dimensional States

description: When analyzing non-Hermitian lattice systems, the standard eigenmode decomposition utilized for the analysis of Hermitian systems must be replaced by Jordan decomposition. This approach enables us to identify the correct number of the left and right eigenstates of a large finite-sized lattice system, and to form a complete basis for calculating the resonant excitation of the system. Specifically, we derive the procedure for applying Jordan decomposition to a system with spectrally-isolated states. We use a non-Hermitian quadrupole insulator with zero-energy corner states as an example of a large system whose dimensionality can be drastically reduced to derive a low-dimensional "defective" Hamiltonian describing such localized states. Counter-intuitive and non-local properties of the resonant response of the system near zero energy are explained using the Jordan decomposition approach. Depending on the excitation properties of the corner states, we classify our non-Hermitian quadrupolar insulator into three categories: trivial, near-Hermitian, and non-local.

description: This is an account of cartographic evidence, statistical analyses, and textual sources, accessed from afar to support enquiry into the impact upon the inhabitants of a rural village in 19th century England that became a garrison town and the military centre of an empire. Initial sources included micro-census data for 1851 and 1861, supplemented by vital registration data. Cross-sectional analysis of demographic and occupational structure is supported by attempt at nominal linkage for families, individuals and households to assess longitudinal change. The serendipity of the Web uncovered news of discovery of a strongbox hidden in a church belfry and the subsequent digitisation of manuscripts on land holdings that extend back over 500 years, digitised copies of maps and contemporary guidebooks, with the "Gary Owen" providing link to the U.S. 7th Cavalry. This did mean delay and need to start anew, 'cause writing up is hard to do, but also enabled rich context for statistical conclusion and a rich experience for the researcher. It also prompted recall of IASSIST 1990 with its then futuristic theme of "numbers pictures words and sounds: all will be digital and accessed from afar".

description: This project explores the opportunities of rooftop landscapes for outdoor learning and socialization on the main campus of the University of British Columbia. By looking at the functions of higher education institutions and the current world-wide challenges and opportunities, I was able to frame the topic for further exploration. To better study the rooftop landscapes and the relation to campus design, some articles on relevant topics were selected for literature review. These topics include the importance of campus design, the UBC main campus plan in the next thirty years, the green roof technical structures and the pros and cons of outdoor learning. These literatures provide great insight and argument for the topic selection. The precedent studies was a fun part where I searched for projects that share a similar topic. I was able to find inspiring projects that I can analyze and learn from. To select a site for design proposal, I made a matrix of criteria which is meant to be used as a tool for future projects with a similar topic. Through the project, I wish to develop not only a proposal for my specific project site, but also a model for rooftop learning landscapes that can be applied to any high education institutions.

description: Several research articles have reported the shortage of qualified anatomy teachers across different countries. This issue is being addressed by developing graduate anatomy training programs where students are taught the different anatomical sciences. These graduates will also need to be trained as educational scholars in order to face the challenges in their future careers as academics. To address this educational need, in this article we discuss the design and development of a new course in ‘Anatomy Pedagogy’ that we successfully integrated into a new innovative master’s pro-gram in human anatomy in our institution. This course was designed by utilizing the different principles of the scholarship of teaching and learning. In this article, the authors aim to outline the con-tent of this course and analyse it in light of the scholarship of teaching and learning. This includes the learning outcomes, faculty-led learning, student-led teaching, teaching practicum and the different assessment techniques used on this course. Some of the principles used to analyse this course includes universal design for learning, teaching for understanding, assessment as learning and peer to peer learning. In the coming academic years, the authors aim to collect qualitative and quantitative data what will help inform the future delivery of this course.

description: We consider the certification of temporal quantum correlations using the pseudo-density matrix (PDM), an extension of the density matrix to the time domain, where negative eigenvalues are key indicators of temporal correlations. Conventional methods for detecting these correlations rely on PDM tomography, which often involves excessive redundant information and requires exponential resources. In this work, we develop an efficient protocol for temporal correlation detection by virtually preparing the PDM within a single time slice and estimating its second-order moments using randomized measurements. Through sample complexity analysis, we demonstrate that our protocol requires only a constant number of measurement bases, making it particularly advantageous for systems utilizing ensemble average measurements, as it maintains constant runtime complexity regardless of the number of qubits. We experimentally validate our protocol on a nuclear magnetic resonance platform, a typical thermodynamic quantum system, where the experimental results closely align with theoretical predictions, confirming the effectiveness of our protocol.

description: Two Higgs Doublet Models (2HDM) provide a simple framework for new physics models with an extended Higgs sector. The current LHC results, including both direct searches for additional non-Standard Model (SM) Higgs bosons, as well as precision measurements of the SM-like Higgs couplings, already provide strong constraints on the 2HDM parameter spaces. In this paper, we examine those constraints for the neutral scalars in the Type-I and Type-II 2HDM. In addition to the direct search channels with SM final states: $H/A \to f\bar f, VV, Vh, hh$, we study in particular the exotic decay channels of $H/A \to AZ/HZ$ once there is a mass hierarchy between the non-SM Higgses. We found that $H/A \to AZ/HZ$ channel has unique sensitivity to the alignment limit region which remains unconstrained by conventional searches and Higgs precision measurements. This mode also extends the reach at intermediate $\tanβ$ for heavy $m_A$ that are not covered by the other direct searches.

description: Mitogen-activated protein kinase p38 is a key regulator in the inflammation pathway and is activated in the lungs of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. Acumapimod is a potent, selective, oral, p38 inhibitor under investigation for treatment of acute exacerbations of COPD (AECOPD). In this Phase II, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled dose-exploration study of acumapimod in patients with moderate or severe AECOPD (NCT01332097), patients presenting with AECOPD were randomized to receive single-dose acumapimod (20 mg or 75 mg) on Day 1, repeated single-dose acumapimod (20 mg or 75 mg) on Days 1 and 6, oral prednisone 40 mg (10 days), or placebo. Primary outcome: improvement in forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) versus placebo at Day 5 (single doses) and Day 10 (repeated doses). N = 183 patients were randomized; 169 (92%) patients completed the study. Although the primary endpoint (FEV1 at Day 10) was not met (p = 0.082), there was a significant improvement in FEV1 with acumapimod repeat-dose 75 mg versus placebo at Day 8 (p = 0.022) which, though not a prespecified endpoint, was part of an overall trend. Differences at lower doses did not achieve significance. Mean change in FEV1 AUC from baseline to Day 14 in the 75 mg repeat-dose group was significantly higher versus placebo (p = 0.02), prednisone (p = 0.01), and 20 mg single-dose groups (p = 0.015) (post-hoc analysis). EXACT-PRO showed numerical differences versus placebo that did not reach significance. Acumapimod was well tolerated. In conclusion, repeated single-dose acumapimod showed a clinically relevant improvement in FEV1 over placebo at Day 8, along with consistent numerical differences in EXACT-PRO. These data can be used to determine dose regimens for a proof-of-clinical-concept trial.

 Remarks. The identity of P. lineata is problematic because the type specimen is essentially destroyed, with only the thoracic dorsum surviving (Martin & Papavero, 1970). The species has three easily recognized black stripes on the dorsum of the scutum. Thus, museum specimens and authors usually identified specimens with such markings as P. lineata. Unfortunately, most of the West Indian species have these stripes. Hull (1962) grouped Plesiomma into the subgenera Boropis Hull, Dapsilochaetus Hull, and Cystoprosopa Hull. Plesiomma lineata was designated the type species of Boropis Hull to include those species that lacked marginal scutellum bristles. Marginal scutellar bristles in this genus are often thin [with small sockets], readily subject to being broken. All Antillean species that we examined have marginal scutellar bristles. Bromley (1929) reported P. lineata from Cuba. Later, Farr (1963) reported it from Jamaica based on Bromley's paper. Yet the type locality of Plesiomma lineata is St. Croix, Virgin Islands, 'Habitat in Insula St. Crux Americes. Dom. Vahl.' (Fabricius, 1781; see Fabrician dipterous types in Thompson, 1981; Zimsen, 1964).
 Bromley (1929) listed Plesiomma macra Loew as a synonym of P. lineata. The type locality of the species is Cuba but its identity is also uncertain because the type is lost (Martin & Papavero, 1970). Furthermore, we have not located Bromley's specimens of P. lineata (= P. macra) from Cuba or Farr's P. lineata from Jamaica for study. Illustrations of the male terminalia of the Jamaican P. lineata distinguish it from the 3 Hispaniolan species. Since there are no authenticated records of P. lineata from Cuba, Jamaica, or Hispaniola and its distribution is thus far limited to St. Croix, P. macra is removed from synonymy.
Distribution. St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands.

description: We briefly overview the historical controversy around Standard Model predictions of $\varepsilon'/\varepsilon$ and clarify the underlying physics. A full update of this important observable is presented, with all known short- and long-distance contributions, including isospin-breaking corrections. The current Standard Model prediction, $\mathrm{Re}(\varepsilon'/\varepsilon) = (14\pm 5)\cdot 10^{-4}$, is in excellent agreement with the experimentally measured value.

description: We give a characterization of the invariant measures for the exclusion process on the integers with certain reversible transition kernels. Some examples include all nearest-neighbor kernels with asymptotic mean zero. One tool used is a necessary and sufficient condition for reversible measures to be extremal in the set of all invariant measures which is an interesting result in its own right.
Data purchase program: Lessons learned
Creators: name: Huck, Jennifer
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018

description: This year, the University of Virginia Library launched a data purchase program. Open to all university affiliates, the intent was to formalize and rationalize our data purchases. In the past, we were willing to make data purchases, but patrons had to know to ask. The data purchase program gave us the something specific to point out to patrons. Formalizing the program allowed us to do better outreach and marketing for this service. We also rationalized the process of purchasing patron-requested data by gathering all of the requests at once and comparing costs and impact. In conjunction with the data purchase program, we created a data collection development policy. Along with the reasons why we created the program, I will share successes and lessons learned from the pilot year. The greatest success was getting applications from patrons in a variety of disciplines that do not typically use much in the way of data discovery services (i.e., beyond the social sciences). Some lessons learned include needing to do some simple user testing in advance, better evaluating timelines, and connecting library liaisons with applicants.

Lepton flavour violation in e^{\pm}e^{-}\to \ell^{\pm}e^{-} (\ell = μ,τ) induced by R-conserving supersymmetry

description: The lepton flavour violating signals $e^{+}e^{-}\to \ell^{+}e^{-}$ and $e^{-}e^{-}\to \ell^{-}e^- (\ell=μ,τ)$ are studied in the context of low energy R-parity conserving supersymmetry at center of mass energies of interest for the next generation of linear colliders. Loop level amplitudes receive contributions from electroweak penguin and box diagrams involving sleptons and gauginos. Lepton flavour violation is due to off diagonal elements in $SU(2)_L$ doublet slepton mass matrix. These masses are treated as model independent free phenomenological parameters in order to discover regions in parameter space where the signal cross section may be observable. The results are compared with (a) the experimental bounds from the non-observation of rare radiative lepton decays $μ, τ\to eγ$ and (b) the general mSUGRA theoretical scenario with seesaw mechanism where off diagonal slepton matrix entries are generated by renormalization group evolution of neutrino Yukawa couplings induced by the presence of new energy scales set by the heavy $SU(2)_L$ singlet neutrino masses. It is found that in $e^- e^-$ collisions the ($eτ$) signal can be observable with a total integrated luminosity of 100 fb$^{-1}$ and the that the background can be easily suppressed. In $e^+ e^-$ collisions the cross section is smaller and higher luminosities are needed. The experimental bound on the decay $μ\to e γ$ prevents the ($eμ$) signal from being observable.

Ultradiscrete Bifurcations for One Dimensional Dynamical Systems

description: Bifurcations of one dimensional dynamical systems are discussed based on some ultradiscrete equations. The ultradiscrete equations are derived from normal forms of one-dimensional nonlinear differential equations, each of which has saddle-node, transcritical, or supercritical pitchfork bifurcations. An additional bifurcation, which is similar to flip bifurcation, is found in ultradiscrete equations for supercritical pitchfork bifurcation. Dynamical properties of these ultradiscrete bifurcations can be characterized with graphical analysis. As an example of application of our treatment, we focus on an ultradiscrete equation of FitzHugh-Nagumo model, and discuss its dynamical properties.
Thermal Instability in Clusters of Galaxies with Conduction

Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We consider a model of galaxy clusters in which the hot gas is in hydrostatic equilibrium and maintains energy balance between radiative cooling and heating by thermal conduction. We analyze the thermal stability of the gas using a Lagrangian perturbation analysis. For thermal conductivity at the level of 20-40 % of Spitzer conductivity, consistent with previous estimates for cluster gas, we find that the growth rate of the most unstable global radial mode is ~ 6-9 times lower than the growth rate of local isobaric modes at the cluster center in the absence of conduction. The growth time in typical clusters is ~ 2-5 Gyr, which is comparable to the time since the last major merger episode, when the gas was presumably well mixed. Thus, we suggest that thermal instability is not dynamically significant in clusters, provided there is an adequate level of thermal conduction. On the other hand, if the heating of the gas is not the result of thermal conduction or any other diffusive process such as turbulent mixing, then the thermal instability has a growth time under a Gyr in the central regions of the cluster and is a serious threat to equilibrium. We also analyze local nonradial modes and show that the Lagrangian technique leads to the same dispersion relation as the Eulerian approach, provided that clusters are initially in strict thermal equilibrium. Because cluster gas is convectively stable, nonradial modes always have a smaller growth rate than equivalent radial modes.

Low-energy Moller scattering in a Maxwell-Chern-Simons Lorentz-violating planar model
Creators: name: Ferreira, Manoel M.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: One starts from a planar Maxwell-Chern-Simons model endowed with a Lorentz-violating term. The Dirac sector is introduced exhibiting a Yukawa and a minimal coupling with the scalar scalar and the gauge fields, respectively. One then evaluates the electron-electron interaction as the Fourier transform of the Moller scattering amplitude carried out in the non-relativistic limit. In the case of a purely time-like background, the interaction potential can be exactly solved, exhibiting a typical massless behavior far from the origin. The scalar interaction potential is always attractive whereas the gauge intermediation may also present attraction even when considered in the presence of the centrifugal barrier and the A^{2} term. Such a result is a strong indication that electron-electron bound states may appear in this theoretical framework.

The Optimal Decay Rate of Strong Solution for the Compressible Navier-Stokes Equations with Large Initial Data

Year: 2019

description: In recent paper 5, it is shown that the upper decay rate of global solution of compressible Navier-Stokes(CNS) equations converging to constant equilibrium state $(1, 0)$ in $H^1-$norm is $(1+t)^{\frac34(\frac{2}{p}-1)}$ when the initial data is large and belongs to $H^2(\mathbb{R}^3) \cap L^p(\mathbb{R}^3) (p\in[1,2))$. Thus, the first result in this paper is devoted to showing that the upper decay rate of the first order spatial derivative converging to zero in $H^1-$norm is $(1+t)^{-\frac32(\frac1p-\frac12)-\frac12}$. For the case of $p=1$, the lower bound of decay rate for the global solution of CNS equations converging to constant equilibrium state $(1, 0)$ in $L^2-$norm is $(1+t)^{-\frac{3}{4}}$ if the initial data satisfies some low frequency assumption additionally. In other words, the optimal decay rate for the global solution of CNS equations converging to constant equilibrium state in $L^2-$norm is $(1+t)^{-\frac{3}{4}}$ although the associated initial data is large.

description: Since its founding, the Curating for Reproducibility (CURE) Consortium has been working to further define its mission and guiding principles, while also engaging in initiatives to achieve primary CURE goals of establishing standards, sharing practices, and promoting data quality review. One such initiative is the Institute of Museum and Library Services funded Data Curation for Reproducibility (Data CuRe) Training Program Planning Project, which will develop an evidence-based training program for data support practitioners that will equip them with the skills and knowledge necessary to perform intensive data curation tasks that support the demand for high quality data and code. This poster will highlight the objectives of the Data CuRe Training Program Planning Project, with an interactive component that will collect IASSIST community feedback on the training needs of libraries and archivists that will enable them to incorporate data curation and code review into existing workflows to support research reproducibility.
