GRB 021004: A Possible Shell Nebula around a Wolf-Rayet Star Gamma-Ray Burst Progenitor

description: The rapid localization of GRB 021004 by the HETE-2 satellite allowed nearly continuous monitoring of its early optical afterglow decay, as well as high-quality optical spectra that determined a redshift of z3=2.328 for its host galaxy, an active starburst galaxy with strong Lyman-alpha emission and several absorption lines. Spectral observations show multiple absorbers at z3A=2.323, z3B= 2.317, and z3C= 2.293 blueshifted by 450, 990, and 3,155 km/s respectively relative to the host galaxy Lyman-alpha emission. We argue that these correspond to a fragmented shell nebula that has been radiatively accelerated by the gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglow at a distance greater than 0.3 pc from a Wolf-Rayet star progenitor. The chemical abundance ratios indicate that the nebula is overabundant in carbon and silicon. The high level of carbon and silicon is consistent with a swept-up shell nebula gradually enriched by a WCL progenitor wind over the lifetime of the nebula prior to the GRB onset. The detection of statistically significant fluctuations and color changes about the jet-like optical decay further supports this interpretation since fluctuations must be present at some level due to inhomogeneities in a clumpy stellar wind medium or if the progenitor has undergone massive ejection prior to the GRB onset. This evidence suggests that the mass-loss process in a Wolf-Rayet star might lead naturally to an iron-core collapse with sufficient angular momentum that could serve as a suitable GRB progenitor.

description: We obtained analytically eigenvalues of a multidimensional Ising Hamiltonian on a hypercube lattice and expressed them in terms of spin-spin interaction constants and the eigenvalues of the one-dimensional Ising Hamiltonian (the latter are well known). To do this we wrote down the multidimensional Hamiltonian eigenvectors as the Kronecker products of the eigenvectors of the one-dimensional Ising Hamiltonian. For periodic boundary conditions, it is possible to obtain exact results taking into account interactions with an unlimited number of neighboring spins. In this paper, we present exact expressions for the eigenvalues for the planar and cubic Ising systems accounting for the first five coordination spheres (that is interactions with the nearest neighbors, the next neighbors, the next-next neighbors, the next-next-next neighbors and the next-next-next-next neighbors). In the case of free-boundary systems, we showed that in the two- and three-dimensions the exact expressions could be obtained only if we account for interactions with spins of first two coordination spheres and first three coordination spheres, respectively.

From the AGS and SPS heavy ion physics program several intriguing aspects: centrality dependence of strangeness production, anti-hyperon yield, hyperon production enhancement and baryon number transport will be highlighted. Our discussion on RHIC results will focus on experimental probes of partonic degree of freedom. Measurements of the elliptic flow v2 and the nuclear modification factor and their distinctive particle dependence are presented as a function of transverse momentum.

description: We calculate heat transfer between a 2D sheet (e.g. graphene) and a dielectric in presence of a gate voltage. The gate potential induces surface charge densities on the sheet and dielectric, which results in electric field, which is coupled to the surface displacements and, as a consequence, resulting an additional contributions to the radiative heat transfer. The electrostatic and van der Waals interactions between the surface displacement result in the phonon heat transfer, which we calculate taking into account the nonlocality of these interactions. Numerical calculations are presented for heat transfer between graphene and a SiO$_2$ substrate.

description: We present nuclear spectral energy distributions (SEDs) in the range 0.4-16micron for an expanded CfA sample of Seyfert galaxies. The spectral indices from 1-16micron range from alpha_IR 0.9 to 3.8. The shapes of the spectra are correlated with Seyfert type in the sense that steeper nuclear SEDs (nu*f_nu increasing with increasing wavelength) tend to be found in Seyfert 2s and flatter SEDs (nu *f_nu constant) in Seyfert 1-1.5s. The galaxies optically classified as Seyferts 1.8s and 1.9s display values of alpha_IR as in type 1 objects, or values intermediate between those of Seyfert 1s and Seyfert 2s. The intermediate SEDs of many Seyfert 1.8-1.9s may be consistent with the presence of a pure Seyfert 1 viewed through a moderate amount (A_V <5mag) of foreground galaxy extinction. We find, however, that between 10 and 20% of galaxies with broad optical line components have steep infrared SEDs. Torus models usually adopt high equatorial opacities to reproduce the infrared properties of Seyfert 1s and 2s, resulting in a dichotomy of infrared SEDs (flat for type 1s, and steep for type 2s). Such a dichotomy, however, is not observed in our sample. The wide range of spectral indices observed in the type 2 objects, the lack of extremely steep SEDs, and the large numbers of objects with intermediate spectral indices cannot be reconciled with predictions from existing optically thick torus models. We discuss possible modifications to improve torus models, including low optical depth tori, clumpy dusty tori, and high-optical-depth tori with an extended optically thin component.

description: The legal environments of regulatory agencies are key predictors of their organizational performance as they influence how the regulatory agencies are created, their mandates, sources of funding and reporting frameworks. Reporting frameworks include the nature of the relationships between the regulatory agencies and the policy makers, political actors, the legislature, the executive, judicial processes, regulated entities and the public. The specific objective of the study was to establish the moderating effect of the legal environment on the relationship between top management team characteristics and organizational performance of the independent regulatory agencies in Kenya. To achieve this objective, the study adopted descriptive cross-sectional research design. The target population of the study was all the twenty-three state regulatory agencies currently existing in Kenya. Due to the uniqueness of each independent regulatory agency and the distinct roles played by each top management team member in their organization, the study adopted a census survey of all the top management team members in all the twenty three state regulatory agencies in order to capture the required information. Primary data was gathered using structured questionnaire administered through drop and pick later method. Descriptive statistics was then used to summarize the survey data into percentages, frequencies, means and standard deviations. Whisman and McClelland model was used to test for the moderation. The findings of the study showed that legal environment has significant moderating effect on the relationship between top management team characteristics and performance of the independent regulatory agencies in Kenya The study recommends that the independent regulatory agencies should have stable funding mechanism so as not to rely on the parent ministries or exchequer support for them to be financially independent in executing their mandates. Lastly the study recommends for judicial system to recognize and support the work of the independent regulatory agencies in enforcement of the laws and regulations for their sectors or sub-sectors.

description: The purpose of this article is proving the equality of two natural $\mathcal L$-invariants attached to the adjoint representation of a weigth one cusp form, each defined by purely analytic, respectively algebraic means. The proof departs from Greenberg's definition of the algebraic $\mathcal L$-invariant as a universal norm of a canonical $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$ associated to the representation. We relate it to a certain $2\times 2$ regulator of $p$-adic logarithms of global units by means of class field theory, which we then show to be equal to the analytic $\mathcal L$-invariant computed by Rivero and the second author.

description: Over the past three decades, the ultrasonic study of liquid mixtures has emerged as a pivotal avenue for unraveling molecular interactions and exploring the physicochemical behavior inherent in such systems. This paper delves into the importance of ultrasonic techniques, focusing on their profound role in comprehending molecular interactions and investigating the departure of liquid mixtures from ideality. Thermodynamic and transport properties, widely utilized for studying liquid mixtures, serve as key indicators of the intricate intermolecular forces and size differences within these systems.

The exploration of excess thermodynamic functions forms a cornerstone in understanding the nuanced molecular interactions and structural changes exhibited by binary liquid mixtures. Sensitivity to variations in both intermolecular forces and molecular sizes, excess thermodynamic functions play a crucial role in deciphering deviations from ideal behavior. Fundamental properties like internal pressure and free volume, initially investigated by Hildebrand and Scott, serve as pivotal parameters in studying molecular interactions within liquid mixtures.

Utilizing ultrasonic velocity, viscosity, and density measurements, this study employs a multidimensional approach to unravel the molecular intricacies of liquid mixtures. The insights gained from measuring these properties are not only significant for studying the departure of real liquid mixtures from ideal behavior but also for comprehending the structural changes associated with these dynamic systems. The paper underscores the importance of ultrasonic techniques in providing a comprehensive understanding of liquid mixtures, shedding light on their thermodynamic and transport properties, and facilitating insights into the molecular interactions governing their behavior

description: We have computed the time evolution of bolometric, far-infrared, Halpha line, ultraviolet (both intrinsic and escaping the star forming region) and the nonthermal radio continuum luminosities for continuous and constant star formation. The luminosity rises to a plateau value and declines after the termination of starburst, but only gradually. The time evolution profiles are broad and different for different star formation indicators. The broad profiles lead to uncertainties in the star formation rate derived depending on the initial mass function, duration of starburst, its distribution and the observational epoch.

On the basis of simulated sky maps, we have derived theoretical halo number counts and redshift distributions of selected halo samples for an AMiBA SZE survey and a weak lensing follow-up survey. By utilizing the conditional number counts of weak lensing halos with the faint SZE detection, we show that a combined SZE and weak lensing survey can gain an additional fainter halo sample at a given false positive rate, which cannot be obtained from either survey alone.

description: A series of nano gold-based colorimetric sensors has been developed for the selective detection of Cu2+ and Ag+ metal ions in aqueous solution. Monodisperse gold nanoparticles protected with octanethiol have been prepared facilely and then, modified with pyridine moieties, chelidamate or 2-aminopyridine to give chelidamate-modified and 2-aminopyridine-modified gold nanoparticles, respectively. Aggregation of these pyridine-modified AuNPs was induced immediately upon addition of Cu2+ and Ag+ ions, yielding a color change. The aggregation was first monitored using the naked eye and then UV–vis spectroscopy and TEM.The recognition mechanism is attributed to the unique structures of these modified nanoparticles and sandwich coordination (2 + 1) between metal ion and two pyridine moieties that are attached to separate nanoparticles. In the case of Cu2+ ion sensing, the inter-particle cross-linking of modified nanoparticles results in an aggregation and formation of the black precipitates. On the other hand, sensing of Ag+ ion can be monitored with an apparent color change from brown to purple. TEM experiments and optical imaging support the optical absorption data proving aggregation of the nanoparticles upon addition of metal ions. These gold nanoparticle based colorimetric assay is a facile and robust method and allows fast detection of metal ions at ambient temperatures. More importantly, the developed technique does not utilize enzymatic reactions, light-sensitive dye molecules, lengthy protocols or sophisticated instrumentation.

description: It is believed that the semi-Poisson function $P(S)=4S\exp(-2S)$ describes the normalized distribution of the nearest level-spacings $S$ for critical energy levels at the Anderson metal-insulator transition from quantum chaos to integrability, after an average over four obvious boundary conditions (BC) is taken (Braun {\it et} {\it al} \cite{1}). In order to check whether the semi-Poisson is the correct universal distribution at criticality we numerically compute it by integrating over all possible boundary conditions. We find that although $P(S)$ describes very well the main part of the obtained critical distribution small differences exist particularly in the large $S$ tail. The simpler crossover between the integrable ballistic and localized limits is shown to be universally characterized by a Gaussian-like $P(S)$ distribution instead.

Nucleon Momentum Distributions From a Modified Scaling Analysis of Inclusive Electron-Nucleus Scattering

Subjects: subject: Nuclear Experiment (nucl-ex)

description: Inclusive electron scattering from nuclei at low momentum transfer (corresponding to x>1) and moderate Q^2 is dominated by quasifree scattering from nucleons. In the impulse approximation, the cross section can be directly connected to the nucleon momentum distribution via the scaling function F(y). The breakdown of the y-scaling assumptions in certain kinematic regions have prevented extraction of nucleon momentum distributions from such a scaling analysis. With a slight modification to the y-scaling assumptions, it is found that scaling functions can be extracted which are consistent with the expectations for the nucleon momentum distributions.

description: Globalization has encouraged the introduction of economic crime at the international level. Organized crime easily entered in legitimate activities through money laundering operations. In this context "tax havens" play an essential role in the globalization of financial crime. In these places, in fact, crime launders money coming from illegal activities and reinvests it in new activities. This paper intends to examine in depth the "chain" of illegal money with reference to "tax havens," starting from their definition, and detecting the existing network between tax evasion, money laundering and reinvestment in lawful activities.

description: Continuous high frequency water quality monitoring is becoming a critical task to support water management. Despite the advancements in sensor technologies, certain variables cannot be easily and/or economically monitored in-situ and in real time. In these cases, surrogate measures can be used to make estimations by means of data-driven models. In this work, variables that are commonly measured in-situ are used as surrogates to estimate the concentrations of nutrients in a rural catchment and in an urban one, making use of machine learning models, specifically Random Forests. The results are compared with those of linear modelling using the same number of surrogates, obtaining a reduction in the Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) of up to 60.1%. The profit from including up to seven surrogate sensors was computed, concluding that adding more than 4 and 5 sensors in each of the catchments respectively was not worthy in terms of error improvement.

description: The most massive galaxies in the present-day Universe are found to lie in the centres of rich clusters. They have old, coeval stellar populations suggesting that the bulk of their stars must have formed at early epochs in spectacular starbursts - luminous phenomena at submillimetre wavelengths. The most popular model of galaxy formation predicts that these galaxies form in proto-clusters at high-density peaks in the early Universe. Such peaks are signposted by massive high-redshift radio galaxies. Here we report deep submillimetre mapping of seven high-redshift radio galaxies and their environments. These data confirm not only the presence of spatially extended massive star-formation activity in the radio galaxies themselves, but also in companion objects previously undetected at any wavelength. The prevalence, orientation, and inferred masses of these submillimetre companion galaxies suggest that we are witnessing the synchronous formation of the most luminous elliptical galaxies found today at the centres of rich galaxy clusters.

description: Based on the first-order shear deformation theory, this paper focuses on the free vibration behavior of two-dimensional functionally graded material truncated conical shells resting on Winkler–Pasternak foundations. The materials are assumed to be isotropic and inhomogeneous in the length and thickness directions of truncated conical shell. The material properties of the truncated conical shell are varied in these directions according to power law functions. The derived governing equations are solved using differential quadrature method. Convergence of this method is checked and the fast rate of convergence is observed. The primary results of this study are obtained for (SSˇSL), (CSˇCL), and (CSˇSL) boundary conditions and compared with those available in the literatures. Furthermore, effects of geometrical parameters, material power indexes, mechanical boundary conditions, Winkler and Pasternak foundation moduli on the nondimensional frequency parameters of the two-dimensional functionally graded material truncated conical shell are studied.

Phanuelus

description: Phanuelus gen. nov. Caleb & Mathai    Type species. Phanuelus gladstone sp.nov.
 Etymology. The proposed name is for the late Dr. G. J. Phanuel (Professor, Dept. of Zoology, MCC) who worked extensively on the spiders of Madras in the early 1960s. His work has been of great significance for later workers. The name is masculine in gender.
 Diagnosis. Small spiders characterized by short, very high cephalothorax, high and reduced thoracic region; abdomen round, nearly spherical. Leg III distinctly longer. Two RTAs (compared to usually two RTAs, sometimes with one RTA in Aelurillus, and two peaks, separated by a V or U shaped slit in Phlegra). Differs from Langona Simon in lacking a bunch of stiff hairs projecting from the base near RTA. Differs from Stenaelurillus Simon due to the absence of an anterior tegular apophysis. Embolus longer and thinner than in Stenaelurillus. Epigynum highly sclerotized, convex surface, with copulatory openings postero-laterally (whereas these are antero-median in Aelurillus, or hidden in circular grooves in Phlegra).
 Description. Spiders with small body (3-4 mm), carapace short and very high, short longitudinal fovea in a rounded, pit-like shallow depression in the centre just behind PLE line midway (Figs. 26, 32). Carapace widest at beginning of posterior slope; posterior slope very steep. PME closer to PLE than ALE. Clypeus vertical, moderately high (Figs. 28, 36). Male chelicerae without any tooth. Leg III longer than leg IV (Figs. 27, 37). Abdomen small, rounded with pairs of white spots arranged in the median, lighter lateral regions seen on females (Figs. 26, 33). Male palp with enlarged bulbus, tegulum leathery, embolus thin, two RTA, one long and bent at tip which is inconspicuous, other conspicuous, short and thick (Figs. 38, 39). Epigynum highly sclerotized, copulatory openings laterally placed apart, with meandering copulatory ducts (Figs. 40, 43, 44).
 Affinities. Species show clear affinity to subfamily Aelurillinae in genital structures and general morphology.

Magnetically driven short-range order can explain anomalous measurements in CrCoNi

description: The presence, nature, and impact of chemical short-range order in the multi-principal element alloy CrCoNi are all topics of current interest and debate. First-principles calculations reveal that its origins are fundamentally magnetic, involving repulsion between like-spin Co-Cr and Cr-Cr pairs that is complemented by the formation of a magnetically aligned sublattice of second-nearest-neighbor Cr atoms. Ordering models following these principles are found to predict otherwise anomalous experimental measurements concerning both net magnetization and atomic volumes across a range of compositions. In addition to demonstrating the impact of magnetic interactions and resulting chemical rearrangement, the possible explanation of experiments would imply that short-range order of this type is far more prevalent than previously realized.

description: Recently fairtrade certification is a steadily growing niche market. Consequently, the consumer’s perception of fairtrade labels in Germany is an interesting research question. The underlying analysis is based on a survey including 554 potential fairtrade consumers. Respectively, the Fairtrade Certification Mark and GEPA is mostly recognized and known by the survey participants. Moreover, fairtrade labels are mostly perceived as “doing good”, especially to the poor in the Global South. Apart from the perception of the consumers, results hint towards a lack in the transparency of the whole certification system.

description: A series of novel caffeic acid analogues have been synthesized in an experimentally simple electrochemical procedure employing electrons as the only reagents in aqueous solution without introducing any catalyst or oxidant. It has been shown that the reactions proceed via a domino of electrochemical and chemical events (EC mechanism) with an interesting regioselectivity in the formation of arylsulfonyl-functionalized N-caffeoyl amides and caffeate esters. All products were purely obtained at the surface of anode (carbon rods) in excellent yields and no extra purification was needed. Structural characterization of these novel compounds was also performed using various spectroscopic techniques: FT-IR, 1HNMR, 13CNMR and HR-mass.

description: Foamy oil expression has puzzled many reservoir engineers in characterizing some heavy oil reservoirs. The strange fluid behavior of such reservoirs is considered as the reason of abnormally high flow rates and (the higher than expected) recovery factors. The authors aimed to briefly elaborate the foamy oil concept, review methodologies and laboratory experiments for identifying foamy oil behavior, and present a modified methodology for laboratory investigation of foamy behavior. The concern here is an Iranian heavy oil reservoir whose foamy nature is under debate (according to some production reports). Experimental results indicate that the studied crude oil acquires foamy characteristics, which makes it the first heavy oil reservoir with foamy behavior in the Middle East region.
