description: Interpretation of interferometric observations of rapidly rotating stars requires a good model of their surface effective temperature. Until now, laws of the form T_eff \propto g_eff^β have been used, but they are only valid for slowly rotating stars. We propose a simple model that can describe the latitudinal variations in the flux of rotating stars at any rotation rate. This model assumes that the energy flux is a divergence-free vector that is antiparallel to the effective gravity. When mass distribution can be described by a Roche model, the latitudinal variations in the effective temperature only depend on a single parameter, namely the ratio of the equatorial velocity to the Keplerian velocity. We validate this model by comparing its predictions to those of the most realistic two-dimensional models of rotating stars issued from the ESTER code. The agreement is very good, as it is with the observations of two rapidly rotating stars, α Aql and α Leo. We suggest that as long as a gray atmosphere can be accepted, the inversion of data on flux distribution coming from interferometric observations of rotating stars uses such a model, which has just one free parameter.

description: A field theory is developed for a thermodynamical description of array of parallel non-singular screw dislocations in elastic cylinder. The partition function of the system is considered in the functional integral form. Self-energy of the dislocation cores is chosen in the form suggested by the gauge-translational model of non-singular screw dislocation. It is shown that the system of the dislocations is equivalent to the two-dimensional Coulomb gas. The coupling potential is prevented from a short-distance divergency since the core energies are taken into account. Two-point correlation functions of the stress components are obtained. Renormalization of the shear modulus caused by the presence of the dislocations is studied in the approximation of non-interacting dislocation dipoles. It is demonstrated that the finite size of the dislocation cores results in a modification of the renormalization law.

description: The aim of this paper is to study the black hole evaporation and Hawking radiation for a noncommutative charged Vaidya black hole. For this purpose, we determine spherically symmetric charged Vaidya model and then formulate a noncommutative Reissner-Nordstr$\ddot{o}$m-like solution of this model which leads to an exact $(t-r)$ dependent metric. The behavior of temporal component of this metric and the corresponding Hawking temperature is investigated. The results are shown in the form of graphs. Further, we examine the tunneling process of the charged massive particles through the quantum horizon. It is found that the tunneling amplitude is modified due to noncommutativity. Also, it turns out that black hole evaporates completely in the limits of large time and horizon radius. The effect of charge is to reduce the temperature from maximum value to zero. It is mentioned here that the final stage of black hole evaporation turns out to be a naked singularity.

description: We study the radiative pion decay pi+ -> e+ nu_e gamma within nonlocal chiral quark models that include wave function renormalization. In this framework we analyze the momentum dependence of the vector form factor F_V(q^2), and the slope of the axial-vector form factor F_A(q^2) at threshold. Our results are compared with available experimental information and with the predictions given by the NJL model. In addition we calculate the low energy constants l_5 and l_6, comparing our results with the values obtained in chiral perturbation theory.

The threshold of 196 keV would be the lowest of all solar neutrino experiments running so far. Experimental rates and parameters are discussed, about 580 SNU can be expected from pp-neutrinos and another 367 SNU from Be-7. Furthermore, it is investigated whether charged current reactions might cause a new background component for future double beta decay experiments based on a large amount of Nd-150.

The targum (1933:Jan. 7 - 1933:Jan. 14)
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Targum Association
Year: 1933

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.

description: We introduce the concept of control centrality to quantify the ability of a single node to control a directed weighted network. We calculate the distribution of control centrality for several real networks and find that it is mainly determined by the network's degree distribution. We rigorously prove that in a directed network without loops the control centrality of a node is uniquely determined by its layer index or topological position in the underlying hierarchical structure of the network. Inspired by the deep relation between control centrality and hierarchical structure in a general directed network, we design an efficient attack strategy against the controllability of malicious networks.

description: The Mizar Mathematical Library (MML) is a large corpus of formalised mathematical knowledge. It has been constructed over the course of many years by a large number of authors and maintainers. Yet the legal status of these efforts of the Mizar community has never been clarified. In 2010, after many years of loose deliberations, the community decided to investigate the issue of licensing the content of the MML, thereby clarifying and crystallizing the status of the texts, the text's authors, and the library's long-term maintainers. The community has settled on a copyright and license policy that suits the peculiar features of Mizar and its community. In this paper we discuss the copyright and license solutions. We offer our experience in the hopes that the communities of other libraries of formalised mathematical knowledge might take up the legal and scientific problems that we addressed for Mizar.

description: Using star formation histories derived from optically resolved stellar populations in nineteen nearby starburst dwarf galaxies observed with the Hubble Space Telescope, we measure the stellar mass surface densities of stars newly formed in the bursts. By assuming a star formation efficiency (SFE), we then calculate the inferred gas surface densities present at the onset of the starbursts. Assuming a SFE of 1%, as is often assumed in normal star-forming galaxies, and assuming that the gas was purely atomic, translates to very high HI surface densities (~10^2-10^3 Msun pc^-2), which are much higher than have been observed in dwarf galaxies. This implies either higher values of SFE in these dwarf starburst galaxies or the presence of significant amounts of H_2 in dwarfs (or both). Raising the assumed SFEs to 10% or greater (in line with observations of more massive starbursts associated with merging galaxies), still results in HI surface densities higher than observed in 10 galaxies. Thus, these observations appear to require that a significant fraction of the gas in these dwarf starbursts galaxies was in the molecular form at the onset of the bursts. Our results imply molecular gas column densities in the range 10^19-10^21 cm^-2 for the sample. In those galaxies where CO observations have been made, these densities correspond to values of the CO-H_2 conversion factor (X_CO) in the range >3-80x10^20 cm^-2 (K km s^-1)^-1, or up to 40x greater than Galactic X_CO values.

description: We study the permutation complexity of finite-state stationary stochastic processes based on a duality between values and orderings between values. First, we establish a duality between the set of all words of a fixed length and the set of all permutations of the same length. Second, on this basis, we give an elementary alternative proof of the equality between the permutation entropy rate and the entropy rate for a finite-state stationary stochastic processes first proved in [Amigo, J.M., Kennel, M. B., Kocarev, L., 2005. Physica D 210, 77-95]. Third, we show that further information on the relationship between the structure of values and the structure of orderings for finite-state stationary stochastic processes beyond the entropy rate can be obtained from the established duality. In particular, we prove that the permutation excess entropy is equal to the excess entropy, which is a measure of global correlation present in a stationary stochastic process, for finite-state stationary ergodic Markov processes.

Calculations of the zone-center optical-mode frequencies (including LO-TO splittings), Born effective charge tensors for each atom, dielectric constants, using density functional perturbation theory, are reported. The fully relaxed structural parameters are found to be in good agreement with experimental data. All optic modes are identified and agreement of theory with experiment is excellent. The static dielectric tensor is decomposed into contributions arising from individual infrared-active phonon modes. It is found that high-frequency modes mainly contribute to the lattice dielectric constant.

A NEW RECORD OF MESSAPICETUS FROM THE PIETRA LECCESE (LATE MIOCENE, SOUTHERN ITALY): ANTITROPICAL DISTRIBUTION IN A FOSSIL BEAKED WHALE (CETACEA, ZIPHIIDAE)

description: A new partial fossil skeleton of Messapicetus longirostris (Cetacea: Odontoceti: Ziphiidae) collected in Cisterna quarry (Lecce) from Tortonian (upper Miocene) sediments of the "Pietra leccese" is described. It comprises the fragmentary skull (including most of the rostrum), parts of the mandibles, five teeth, the fragmentary right scapula, and one vertebral centrum. This new record, here referred to a juvenile individual, expands our knowledge about the skeletal anatomy of M. longirostris; this species was until now only known by the holotype, an almost complete skull from the same Cisterna quarry. Moreover, the new specimen confirms the distinction between M. longirostris and M. gregarius (late Miocene, Pisco Formation, Peru) based on several osteological characters (e.g., the presence of a distinct maxillary tubercle and prominential notch in the latter species). New dating of layers in Cerro Colorado, the type locality of M. gregarius, suggests that M. longirostris and M. gregarius were contemporaneous sister-species with an antitropical distribution (a biogeographical pattern currently shown by two extant ziphiid genera). Unlike extant ziphiids, feeding predominantly on squid and benthopelagic fish in deep waters, the stem ziphiid M. gregarius was recently proposed to have been a raptorial piscivore who may have fed mainly on schools of epipelagic fish. Similarities at the level of the morphology and proportions of the oral apparatus suggest that the two species of Messapicetus may have occupied roughly identical ecological and trophic niches, a hypothesis supported by the characterization of the Pietra leccese environment as neritic.

description: Electromagnetic (EM) wave scattering by many parallel infinite cylinders is studied asymptotically as a tends to 0, where a is the radius of the cylinders. It is assumed that the centres of the cylinders are distributed so that their numbers is determined by some positive function N(x). The function N(x) >= 0 is a given continuous function. An equation for the self-consistent (limiting) field is derived as a tends to 0. The cylinders are assumed perfectly conducting. Formula for the effective refraction coefficient of the new medium, obtained by embedding many thin cylinders into a given region, is derived. The numerical results presented demonstrate the validity of the proposed approach and its efficiency for solving the many-body scattering problems, as well as the possibility to create media with negative refraction coefficients.

description: Based on trajectory dependent path probability formalism in state space, we derive generalized entropy production fluctuation relations for a quantum system in the presence of measurement and feedback. We have obtained these results for three different cases: (i) the system is evolving in isolation from its surroundings; (ii) the system being weakly coupled to a heat bath; and (iii) system in contact with reservoir using quantum Crooks fluctuation theorem. In case (iii), we build on the treatment carried out in [H. T. Quan and H. Dong, arxiv/cond-mat: 0812.4955], where a quantum trajectory has been defined as a sequence of alternating work and heat steps. The obtained entropy production fluctuation theorems retain the same form as in the classical case. The inequality of second law of thermodynamics gets modified in the presence of information. These fluctuation theorems are robust against intermediate measurements of any observable performed with respect to von Neumann projective measurements as well as weak or positive operator valued measurements.

title: UK Service Users' Experiences of and Views on Healthcare Practitioners' Right to Conscientiously Object to Abortion.
Creators: name: Self, B
Publisher: name: Liverpool John Moores University
Year: 2023

description: The fourth section of the 1967 Abortion Act states that individuals (including healthcare practitioners) do not have to participate in an abortion if they have a conscientious objection to this procedure. A conscientious objection is a refusal to participate on the grounds of conscience. It may be informed by religious, moral, philosophical, ethical, or personal beliefs. Recently, Northern Ireland introduced The Abortion (Northern Ireland) Regulations 2022, part 7 of which mirrors the 1967 Abortion Act’s conscientious objection clause. Currently, no research has been conducted on service users’ views on conscientious objection and there has been very little investigation into the impact of conscientious objection on service users in the UK. This perspective is imperative in understanding the real-world consequences and impact of conscientious objection and should be considered when creating policy and guidelines. I undertook this research from a liberal feminist stance. I provided a platform for women and those who can become pregnant to share their experiences and views at a time when their voices are largely excluded from the great tradition of Western political philosophy and law-making processes. I interviewed 25 UK service users from urban and rural areas using a hybrid approach. I combined the principles of narrative and semi-structured interviews. I analysed the data using found poetry and a reflexive liberal feminist thematic analysis. My findings indicate that conscientious objection could work in practice. However, it is currently failing some individuals, as healthcare practitioners do not always inform service users of their objection, or that they are able to access an abortion, and how to access one (indirect referral). Participants did not experience burdens such as long waiting times and were still able to access legal abortion. However, they did experience negative emotional effects, as they were often left feeling scared, angry, and hopeless when they were not referred. Moreover, participants’ views on conscientious objection in the UK varied considerably. The majority supported the most common approach within the literature and in practice, whereby healthcare practitioners can object so long as they refer and inform the service user. However, the opinion that healthcare practitioners should not be allowed to object or should be able to object without referring the service user to another healthcare professional and informing them of their right to an abortion was also evident. The importance of my research lies in elucidating the impact that conscientious objection is having on service users in the UK, and in highlighting service users’ views on conscientious objection.

description: This deliverable aims to provide the overall, comprehensive conceptual picture of the CSP design and monitoring process, encompassing all the key elements and identifying those aspects that will need to be addressed within Tools4CAP, and those that will not. Central to the design and monitoring processes of the CSP is the selection and adoption by MSs of different methodological and technological tools to perform the required tasks. Thus, this deliverable seeks to shed light on the MSs' choice of tools for the CSP's design and monitoring, and the factors that are behind these choices. This is key to understand which levers and barriers influence the adoption of different tools, but also what different methodological solutions best fit in different contexts.
Multipair approach to pairing in nuclei

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The ground state of a general pairing Hamiltonian for a finite nuclear system is constructed as a product of collective, real, distinct pairs. These are determined sequentially via an iterative variational procedure that resorts to diagonalizations of the Hamiltonian in restricted model spaces. Different applications of the method are provided that include comparisons with exact and projected BCS results. The quantities that are examined are correlation energies, occupation numbers and pair transfer matrix elements. In a first application within the picket-fence model, the method is seen to generate the exact ground state for pairing strengths confined in a given range. Further applications of the method concern pairing in spherically symmetric mean fields and include simple exactly solvable models as well as some realistic calculations for middle-shell Sn isotopes. In the latter applications, two different ways of defining the pairs are examined: either with J=0 or with no well-defined angular momentum. The second choice reveals to be more effective leading, under some circumstances, to solutions that are basically exact.

Facial expressions, imitation, play, orienting and joint attention in autistic children: assessing the metarepresentational theory of autism

description: Bibliography: p. 97-115.
description: The purpose of this study was to empirically establish the limits of the metarepresentational model of autism. This was accomplished by determining whether the model was able to sufficiently account for the pattern of deficits displayed by a group of autistic children. The skills/abilities of 10 autistic children were compared to those of two matched control groups. Subjects in the normally developing control group (n = 10) were matched to autistic subjects on the basis of verbal mental age, while subjects in the developmentally delayed control group (n = 10) were matched on the basis of chronological age and verbal mental age. Seven specific domains were examined: imitation; sound orientation; joint attention; quality of facial expressions; frequency of facial expressions; functional play; and symbolic play. All subjects were videotaped during the adminstration of the experimental tasks and each domain was subsequently coded for analysis. The metarepresentational model is based on the premise that autism results fro• a core metarepresentational deficit. As such, the model posits that skills/abilities that require metarepresentational capacity tend to be impaired in autistic individuals, while those that do not, tend to remain intact. Only two of the seven domains assessed, joint attention and symbolic play, required metarepresentational skills. The obtained results demonstrated that the deficits of autistic children were not limited solely to skills that involved metarepresentation. Rather, the autistic subjects displayed deficits in all seven of the domains assessed. It was concluded that the explanatory power of the metarepresentational model was not sufficient to account for the complexity of the autistic disorder. It was also noted that none of the other theories of autism put forth to date (e.g., affective theory) appears to be able to account for the obtained results. This raises an important question. Why has the pathogenesis of autism eluded researchers for more than five decades? Possible answers to this question are addressed and implications for future research are discussed. Research which examines the development of autism in infants or which attempts to determine if empirically valid autistic subtypes exist, appears to be particularly warranted.

description: Thanks to miniaturisation, it is today possible to imagine self-powered systems that use vibrations to produce their own electrical energy. Many energy-harvesting systems already exist. Some of them are based on the use of electrets: electrically charged dielectrics that can keep charges for years. This paper presents an optimisation of an existing system and proves that electret-based electrostatic energy scavengers can be excellent solutions to power microsystems even with low-level ambient vibrations. Thereby, it is possible to harvest up to 200\muW with vibrations lower than 1G of acceleration (typically 50\mumpp at 50Hz) using thin SiO2 electrets with an active surface of 1 cm^{2} and a mobile mass of 1g. This paper optimises such a system (geometric, electrostatic and mechanical parameters), using FEM (Finite Element Method) software (Comsol Multiphysics) and Matlab to compute the parameters and proves the importance of such an optimisation to build efficient systems. Finally, it shows that the use of electrets with high surface potential is not always the best way to maximise output power.

description: The operator product expansion (OPE) for heavy-light-quark pseudoscalar mesons (D-mesons and B-mesons) in medium is determined, both for a moving meson with respect to the surrounding medium as well as for a meson at rest. First of all, the OPE is given in terms of normal-ordered operators up to mass dimension 5, and the mass of the heavy-quark and the mass of the light-quark are kept finite. The Wilson coefficients of such an expansion are infrared (IR) divergent in the limit of a vanishing light-quark mass. A consistent separation of scales necessitates an OPE in terms of non-normal-ordered operators, which implies operator mixing, where the IR-divergences are absorbed into the operators. It is shown that the Wilson coefficients of such an expansion are IR-stable, and the limit of a vanishing light-quark mass is perfomed. Details of the major steps for the calculation of the Wilson coefficients are presented. By a comparison with previous results obtained by other theoretical groups we have found serious disagreements.

description: In the setting of networked computation, data security can be a significant concern. Here we consider the problem of allowing a server to remotely manipulate client supplied data, in such a way that both the information obtained by the client about the server's operation and the information obtained by the server about the client's data are significantly limited. We present a protocol for achieving such functionality in two closely related models of restricted quantum computation -- the Boson sampling and quantum walk models. Due to the limited technological requirements of the Boson scattering model, small scale implementations of this technique are feasible with present-day technology.

description: In the present article, the experimental flash points (FPs) of partially miscible and non-ideal mixtures including 3-pentanol + water, 2-pentanol + water, and 1-hexanol + water are reported for the first time. The measured FPs were predicted based on the vapor pressure concept and ‎thermodynamic equilibrium. The cubic-plus-association (CPA) equation of state (EoS) along with the CR-1 combining rule and Elliot combining rule (ECR) were used to investigate the non-ideality of investigated systems. In the following, the same method was used with the Soave-Redlich-Kwong (SRK) and Peng-Robinson (PR) EoSs to evaluate whether simpler EoSs can accurately predict the FPs of non-ideal mixtures. Therefore, in addition to 3-pentanol + water, 2-pentanol + water, and 1-hexanol + water, numerous totally and partially miscible aqueous-organic systems containing 1-pentanol, isobutanol, 2-butanol, 1-‎butanol, isopropanol, propanol, ethanol, and methanol were studied in terms ‎of FP prediction. The findings indicated that SRK is marginally more effective than PR. Moreover, ‎SRK EoS was almost as effective as the CPA EoS with the CR-1 combining rule. The CPA EoS ‎that used ECR, on the other hand, was far superior to the SRK and PR EoSs. To the best of our knowledge, CPA parameters for 2-pentanol, 3-pentanol, and 1-‎hexanol were calculated and reported for the first time.

description: In this paper we classify the free boundary associated to equilibrium configurations of compressible, self-gravitating fluid masses, rotating with constant angular velocity. The equilibrium configurations are all critical points of an associated functional and not necessarily minimizers. Our methods also apply to alternative models in the literature where the angular momentum per unit mass is prescribed. The typical physical model our results apply to is that of uniformly rotating white dwarf stars.

description: This thesis describes an investigation using stated preference data collected with computer assisted personal interviewing (CAPI) techniques of various factors influencing carpooling choice behaviour for commuting to the CBD in Calgary and Edmonton, Canada. Logit models to predict behaviour were estimated, giving values for the disutilities of various factors including: walking time, in-vehicle travel time, extra time required to accommodate other occupants, the number and relation to the driver of the other occupants, and the availability of and waiting time for a "guaranteed ride home" (CRH). Parking cost was not perceived to be shared equally among all occupants, and a relationship was found between passenger type (household member or not) and the sensitivity to parking cost. To study the transferability of results between the two cities, differences in commuter sensitivity towards various factors were investigated and attitudes towards carpooling were found to be similar in both centres.

description: The increasing contamination of water resources is a severe environmental problem. Manganese is highly soluble in water, has adverse effects on the environment and human health during excessive exposure, and is difficult to remove. Biosorbents have been suggested to remove metals from aqueous solutions, therefore, apple pomace was utilized to prepare activated biochar (activated charcoal from apple pomace, ACAP). The biochar sample was characterized by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller analysis. The aim of this study was to use ACAP as an adsorbent to remove Mn2+ ions from aqueous solutions. Adsorption experiments were performed in the pH range 3.2–6.5, with various masses of ACAP biochar and Mn2+ ion concentrations. The results were evaluated using the pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order, general order, Elovich, and Webber and Morris kinetics models. All the models fitted the experimental results, the equilibrium time was 15 min, and the pseudo-second order model presented the highest constant (k2), indicating that chemosorption is an important mechanism in adsorption. The adsorption isotherm results were adjusted using different models, wherein the Langmuir and Temkin models exhibited the best fit to the experimental results. Adsorption experiments yielded a 97.5% removal rate of Mn2+ ions at pH 6.5 and <5% at pH 3.2, and the desorption of manganese in nitric acid (0.1 M) was 97.5%. Overall, apple pomace biochar is an efficient adsorbent for removing Mn2+ ions in aqueous media, and is applicable for treating water for human consumption.

description: This thesis provides planners with a quantifiable basis for developing design guidelines for pedestrian access to LRT stations. Approximately 1,800 peak hour LRT users were interviewed about their LRT trip. Pedestrians were asked to point out on a map their approximate origin or destination. From this information, walking distance guidelines were developed. Catchment area maps were produced and the relationship between reported walking time and measured walking distance was observed. The research strongly indicates that people walk further to reach an LRT station then they walk to reach a bus stop. Using bus walking standards will underestimate LRT walking distances by about half. The average walking distance to suburban stations is 649 m with a 75th percentile distance of 840 m. At CBD stations the average walking distance is 326 m and the 75th percentile distance is 419 m.
