Cloudy_3D, a new pseudo-3D photoionization code
Creators: name: Morisset, C.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We developed a new quick pseudo-3D photoionization code based on Cloudy (G. Ferland) and IDL (RSI) tools. The code is running the 1D photoionization code Cloudy various times, changing at each run the input parameters (e.g. inner radius, density law) according to an angular law describing the morphology of the object. Then a cube is generated by interpolating the outputs of Cloudy. In each cell of the cube, the physical conditions (electron temperature and density, ionic fractions) and the emissivities of lines are determined. Associated tools (VISNEB and VELNEB_3D) are used to rotate the nebula and to compute surface brightness maps and emission line profiles, given a velocity law and taking into account the effect of the thermal broadening and eventually the turbulence. Integrated emission line profiles are computed, given aperture shapes and positions (seeing and instrumental width effects are included). The main advantage of this tool is the short time needed to compute a model (a few tens minutes).

description: As digital media and computers have become essential components in contemporary communication, the field of composition and rhetoric must re-evaluate its focus in composition classrooms due to increasing student literacy in multimedia environments. This dissertation investigates how students compose multimodal composition in a research study of a First Year Composition course. Students in this study created comic books on an issue of social concern and were surveyed on their experience both using computers to write before entering college and using a computer to create comic books during the assignment. This study informs the process of digital mobility, a process of conceptual and performative interaction on the digital screen, that students undergo in creating multimodal composition. This study also undergirds a need to expand the field of composition to accommodate such multimodal composition and give students increased opportunities to make meaning in other modes beyond alphabetic text while studying the ways students compose in a digital interface.

description: We describe a notion of lattice polarization for rational elliptic surfaces and weak del Pezzo surfaces, and describe the complex moduli of the former and the Kähler cone of the latter. We then propose a version of mirror symmetry relating these two objects, which should be thought of as a form of Fano-LG correspondence. Finally, we relate this notion to other forms of mirror symmetry, including Dolgachev-Nikulin-Pinkham mirror symmetry for lattice polarized K3 surfaces and the Gross-Siebert program.

description: The normalisation relation between the bound and scattering S-state wave functions, extrapolated to the bound state pole, is derived from the Schroedinger equation. It is shown that, unlike previous work, the result does not depend on the details of the potential through the corresponding Jost function but is given uniquely in terms of the binding energy. The generalisations to higher partial waves and one-dimensional scattering are given.

Subjects: Computational Fluid Dynamics

description: In this research, a volume averaged dissipation transport equation is developed for particle laden turbulent flows. The derivation process identifies an additional production of dissipation term that is due to the presence of particles and three new coefficients. The coefficient for the production of dissipation due to the presence of particles was found from experimental data involving homogeneous turbulence generation by particles. The coefficient for the dissipation of dissipation was found to contain an additional term due to the presence of particles within a homogeneous turbulent decay. The coefficient associated with the production by mean velocity gradients was found analytically, but the data needed to determine this coefficient was lacking the necessary parameters. A numerical model was developed and compared to the experimental data of particle laden turbulent channel flow. The first stage of the model shows promise and agrees reasonably well with the experimental data.

description: We outline a global approach to scattering theory in one dimension that allows for the description of a large class of scattering systems and their $\mathcal{P}$-, $\mathcal{T}$-, and $\mathcal{P}\mathcal{T}$-symmetries. In particular, we review various relevant concepts such as Jost solutions, transfer and scattering matrices, reciprocity principle, unidirectional reflection and invisibility, and spectral singularities. We discuss in some detail the mathematical conditions that imply or forbid reciprocal transmission, reciprocal reflection, and the presence of spectral singularities and their time-reversal. We also derive generalized unitarity relations for time-reversal-invariant and $\mathcal{P}\mathcal{T}$-symmetric scattering systems, and explore the consequences of breaking them. The results reported here apply to the scattering systems defined by a real or complex local potential as well as those determined by energy-dependent potentials, nonlocal potentials, and general point interactions.

description: The census of open clusters has exploded in size thanks to data from the Gaia satellite. However, it is likely that many of these reported clusters are not gravitationally bound, making the open cluster census impractical for many scientific applications. We test different physically motivated methods for distinguishing between bound and unbound clusters, using them to create a cleaned cluster catalogue. We derived completeness-corrected photometric masses for 6956 clusters from our earlier work. Then, we used these masses to compute the size of the Roche surface of these clusters (their Jacobi radius) and distinguish between bound and unbound clusters. We find that only 5647 (79%) of the clusters from our previous catalogue are compatible with bound open clusters, dropping to just 11% of clusters within 250 pc. 3530 open clusters are in a strongly cut high quality sample. The moving groups in our sample show different trends in their size as a function of age and mass, suggesting that they are unbound and undergoing different dynamical processes. Our cluster mass measurements constitute the largest catalogue of Milky Way cluster masses to date, which we also use for further science. Firstly, we inferred the mass-dependent completeness limit of the open cluster census, showing that the census is complete within 1.8 kpc only for objects heavier than 230 M$_\odot$. Next, we derived a completeness-corrected age and mass function for our open cluster catalogue, including estimating that the Milky Way contains a total of $1.3 \times 10^5$ open clusters, only ~4% of which are currently known. Finally, we show that most open clusters have mass functions compatible with the Kroupa initial mass function. We demonstrate Jacobi radii for distinguishing between bound and unbound star clusters, and publish an updated star cluster catalogue with masses and improved cluster classifications. (abridged)

Retinoic acid regulation of spermatogenesis in the mouse
Creators: name: Snyder, Elizabeth M.
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2010
Subjects: Mice

description: Fertility in male mammals is dependent on spermatogenesis, the process by which spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) differentiate into sperm. Tight control of this process is required to maintain constant fertility as occurs in mice and men. The interaction of cyclical spermatogonial differentiation, termed the spermatogenic cycle, and spatially organized spermatogonial differentiation, termed the spermatogenic wave, gives rise to a constant production of mature sperm but the triggers initiating and maintaining these processes have not been well defined. Previous work has implicated retinoic acid (RA) as a potential regulator of the spermatogenic cycle; however its role in the spermatogenic wave has remained elusive. Utilizing a transgenic mouse model in which active RA signaling can be observed on an individual cell basis, the role of RA in spermatogonial differentiation was explored and definitively demonstrated, confirming RA regulation of the spermatogenic cycle. The distribution of both RA and an RA-responsive marker of germ cell differentiation was found to be uneven throughout the neonatal testis, possibly heralding the onset of the spermatogenic wave. Additionally, RA distribution was observed to be periodic along the length of the seminiferous tubule, implicating RA as an initiator of the spermatogenic wave. Neonatal exposure to RA resulted in abolishment of the spermatogenic wave, confirming a causative role for RA in its initiation. Microarray analysis of normal and vitamin A deficient adult testis coupled to transcriptional profiles of isolated testicular cell types demonstrated that RA response was associated predominantly with germ cells and occurred in a stage-dependent manner, correlating well with the observed stage-dependent variation in RA concentration and expression of RA metabolism genes. These observations, coupled to the RA-responsiveness of many RA metabolism genes, imply that RA itself may be capable of perpetuating a cycle of high and low RA concentration in a stage-dependent manner. This, in theory, could maintain the spermatogenic wave in the adult. Taken together, the results discussed in this work demonstrate a fundamental role for RA in multiple aspects of male spermatogenesis and highlight the need to better understand the targets and production of this key regulator.

description: We prove several extension theorems for Roumieu ultraholomorphic classes of functions in sectors of the Riemann surface of the logarithm which are defined by means of a weight function or weight matrix. Our main aim is to transfer the results of V. Thilliez from the weight sequence case to these different, or more general, frameworks. The technique rests on the construction of suitable kernels for a truncated Laplace-like integral transform, which provides the solution without resorting to Whitney-type extension results for ultradifferentiable classes. As a byproduct, we obtain an extension in a mixed weight-sequence setting in which assumptions on the sequence are minimal.

description: The prevalence of social media and its escalating impact on mental health has highlighted the need for effective digital wellbeing strategies. Current digital wellbeing interventions have primarily focused on reducing screen time and social media use, often neglecting the potential benefits of these platforms. This paper introduces a new perspective centered around empowering positive social media experiences, instead of limiting users with restrictive rules. In line with this perspective, we lay out the key requirements that should be considered in future work, aiming to spark a dialogue in this emerging area. We further present our initial effort to address these requirements with PauseNow, an innovative digital wellbeing intervention designed to align users' digital behaviors with their intentions. PauseNow leverages digital nudging and intention-aware recommendations to gently guide users back to their original intentions when they "get lost" during their digital usage, promoting a more mindful use of social media.

description: We present new results of a survey for weak magnetic fields among DA white dwarfs with inclusion of some brighter hot subdwarf stars. We have detected variable circular polarization in the Halpha line of the hot subdwarf star Feige 34 (SP: sdO). From these data, we estimate that the longitudinal magnetic field of this star varies from -1.1 +/- 3.2 kG to +9.6 +/- 2.6 kG, with a mean of about +5 kG and a period longer than 2 h. In this study, we also confirm the magnetic nature of white dwarf WD1105-048 and present upper limits of kilogauss longitudinal magnetic fields of 5 brightest DA white dwarfs. Our data support recent finding that 25% of white dwarfs have kilogauss magnetic fields. This frequency also confirms results of early estimates obtained using the magnetic field function of white dwarfs.

description: The effect of temperature on the evolution of the isovector dipole and isoscalar quadrupole excitations in $^{68}$Ni and $^{120}$Sn nuclei is studied within the fully self-consistent finite temperature quasiparticle random phase approximation framework, based on the Skyrme-type SLy5 energy density functional. The new low-energy excitations emerge due to the transitions from thermally occupied states to the discretized continuum at finite temperatures, whereas the isovector giant dipole resonance is not strongly impacted by the increase of temperature. The radiative dipole strength at low-energies is also investigated for the $^{122}$Sn nucleus, becoming compatible with the available experimental data when the temperature is included. In addition, both the isoscalar giant quadrupole resonance and low-energy quadrupole states are sensitive to the temperature effect: while the centroid energies decrease in the case of the isoscalar giant quadrupole resonance, the collectivity of the first $2^{+}$ state is quenched and the opening of new excitation channels fragments the low-energy strength at finite temperatures.

description: Energy efficiency is a crucial performance metric in sensor networks, directly determining the network lifetime. Consequently, a key factor in WSN is to improve overall energy efficiency to extend the network lifetime. Although many algorithms have been presented to optimize the energy factor, energy efficiency is still one of the major problems of WSNs, especially when there is a need to sample an area with different types of loads. Unlike other energy-efficient schemes for hierarchical sampling, our hypothesis is that it is achievable, in terms of prolonging the network lifetime, to adaptively re-modify CHs sensing rates (the processing and transmitting stages in particular) in some specific regions that are triggered significantly less than other regions. In order to do so we introduce the Adaptive Distributed Hierarchical Sensing (ADHS) algorithm. This algorithm employs a homogenous sensor network in a distributed fashion and changes the sampling rates of the CHs based on the variance of the sampled data without damaging significantly the accuracy of the sensed area.

description: This dissertation is concerned with taking an empirical approach to designing logistics systems that integrate both forward and reverse flows. Currently the literature has abundant reports separately addressing forward and reverse flow logistics systems. However, it is rare in academic journals to find studies of the synergy effects of integrating the two flows, even though many logistics companies practice both flows in their supply chain business. This dissertation fills a gap through considering both flows. This dissertation models the UPS (United Parcel Services) logistics business, proposing a reduced model developed by synthesizing all relevant literature pertaining to the topic, and a full model by incorporating other important components on the reduced model: price, transportation modes, and outsourcing costs. Due to the complexity of the mathematical models we applied a Monte Carlo simulation to solve them. In the analysis section, we proved the superiority of the full model in profit generation for UPS, in confirmatory analysis, and also discussed many important findings by contrasting the two models from exploratory analysis. The highlight of the dissertation is the identification of the role played by incorporating pricing into the model for UPS business. Traditional economics defines transaction volume and price by price elasticity. However, the price elasticity forlogistics firms has not been studied yet and hence we applied price elasticity in our analysis, assuming values ranged from 0.25 to 2 with a step value of 0.25. Since no literature has paid attention to the pricing effect in logistics firms the major contribution of this dissertation is a thorough analysis of the contribution of the pricing component in an integrated forward and reverse business and the synergy effects of combining the three components.

description: We present a new method - called HINORA (HIgh-NOise RANdom SAmple Consensus) - for the identification of regular structures in 3D point distributions. Motivated by the possible existence of the so called Council of Giants, i.e. a ring of twelve massive galaxies surrounding the Local Group in the Local Sheet with a radius of 3.75 Mpc, we apply HINORA to the Local Volume Galaxy catalogue confirming its existence. When varying the lower limit of K-band luminosity of the galaxy entering the catalogue, we further report on the existence of another ring-like structure in the Local Volume that now contains the Milky Way and M31. However, this newly found structure is dominated by low-mass (satellite) galaxies. While we here simply present the novel method as well as its first application to observational data, follow-up work using numerical simulations of cosmic structure formation shall shed light into the origin of such regular patterns in the galaxy distribution. Further, the method is equally suited to identify similar (or even different) structures in various kinds of astrophysical data (e.g. locating the actual 'baryonic-acoustic oscillation spheres' in galaxy redshift surveys).

Institutional investors and financial statement analysis

Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2009
Subjects: Stockbrokers -- Research

description: My dissertation consists of two essays related to institutional investors and financial statement analysis. In the first paper, we examine whether institutional investors follow each other into and out of the same industries. Our empirical results reveal strong evidence of institutional industry herding. The cross-sectional correlation between the fraction of institutional traders buying an industry this quarter and the fraction buying last quarter, for example, averages 40%. Additional tests suggest that correlated signals primarily drive institutional industry herding. Our results also provide empirical support for style investing models. The second paper investigates the relation between changes in financial health, subsequent returns, and demand by individual and institutional investors to differentiate between the rational and irrational pricing explanation for why financial statement based analysis predicts the future returns. Recent studies show changes in financial health forecast future returns. Piotroski (2000, 2005) and Fama and French (2006) point out that there are two potential explanations for this predictability. First, a riskier firm (with a higher expected return) must have higher expected income growth to justify the same book-to-market ratio as a safer firm. Thus, controlling for book-to-market ratios, firms with higher income growth should have higher returns and expectations are realized (on average). Alternatively, changes in financial health may predict future returns because market participants are slow to react to signals contained in financial statements, i.e., expectations are slowly revised over time. I investigate net trading of institutional investors to test whether investors expectations are realized or revised. Consistent with the latter interpretation, improving financial health predicts both future returns and future demand by institutional investors.

description: We revisit the slow-bond (SB) problem of the one-dimensional (1D) totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (TASEP) with modified hopping rates. In the original SB problem, it turns out that a local defect is always relevant to the system as jamming, so that phase separation occurs in the 1D TASEP. However, crossover scaling behaviors are also observed as finite-size effects. In order to check if the SB can be irrelevant to the system with particle interaction, we employ the condensation concept in the zero-range process. The hopping rate in the modified TASEP depends on the interaction parameter and the distance up to the nearest particle in the moving direction, besides the SB factor. In particular, we focus on the interplay of jamming and condensation in the current-density relation of 1D driven flow. Based on mean-field calculations, we present the fundamental diagram and the phase diagram of the modified SB problem, which are numerically checked. Finally, we discuss how the condensation of holes suppresses the jamming of particles and vice versa, where the partially-condensed phase is the most interesting, compared to that in the original SB problem.

Subjects: Public lands -- Alaska -- Usage

description: In Alaska few issues inspire as much heated debate as restrictions on the use of public lands. This is particularly true regarding the creation of national parks and their management by the National Park Service. Since Alaska s earliest years as an American possession, the relationship between the federal government and the residents of Alaska has been a contentious one as local people struggled to satisfy their immediate needs and aspirations while politicians and land managers based in Washington, D.C. selected Alaskan lands in the national interest. This study examines the tumultuous history of the creation of national park units in Alaska, focusing on the conflicts triggered by the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act of 1971, the use of the Antiquities Act to create national monuments in 1978, and the creation of eighty million acres of national parklands by the Alaska National Interest Lands Act in 1980. The study brings to the foreground the voices of protestors who attempted to block the creation of national parks in the state and to resist the management of parks by the National Park Service. Whereas most histories of this period focus on the political struggles between conservationists and Alaskan politicians, this study resurrects a largely undocumented chapter in the history of Alaska s land debate by examining the reactions of Alaskans living near new national parks who launched energetic and sustained protests to protect their way of life.
Statistics of Cosmological Black Hole Jet Sources: Blazar Predictions for GLAST

description: A study of the statistics of cosmological black-hole jet sources is applied to EGRET blazar data, and predictions are made for GLAST. Black-hole jet sources are modeled as collimated relativistic plasma outflows with radiation beamed along the jet axis due to strong Doppler boosting. The comoving rate density of blazar flares is assumed to follow a blazar formation rate (BFR), modeled by analytic functions based on astronomical observations and fits to EGRET data. The redshift and size distributions of gamma-ray blazars observed with EGRET, separated into BL Lac object (BL) and flat spectrum radio quasar (FSRQ) distributions, are fit with monoparametric functions for the distributions of the jet Lorentz factor Γ, comoving directional power l'_e, and spectral slope. A BFR factor ~10 x greater at z ~ 1 than at present is found to fit the FSRQ data. A smaller comoving rate density and greater luminosity of BL flares at early times compared to the present epoch fits the BL data. Based on the EGRET observations, ~1000 blazars consisting of ~800 FSRQs and FR2 radio galaxies and ~200 BL Lacs and FR1 radio galaxies will be detected with GLAST during the first year of the mission. Additional AGN classes, such as hard-spectrum BL Lacs that were mostly missed with EGRET, could add more GLAST sources. The FSRQ and BL contributions to the EGRET gamma-ray background at 1 GeV are estimated at the level of ~10 - 15% and ~2 - 4%, respectively. EGRET and GLAST sensitivities to blazar flares are considered in the optimal case, and a GLAST analysis method for blazar detection is outlined.

Two Gauss-Bonnet and Poincaré-Hopf Theorems for Orbifolds with Boundary

Subjects: subject: Differential Geometry (math.DG)

description: The goal of this work is to generalize the Gauss-Bonnet and Poincaré-Hopf Theorems to the case of orbifolds with boundary. We present two such generalizations, the first in the spirit of Satake. In this case, the local data (i.e. integral of the curvature in the case of the Gauss-Bonnet Theorem and the index of the vector field in the case of the Poincaré-Hopf Theorem) is related to Satake's orbifold Euler characteristic, a rational number which depends on the orbifold structure. For the second pair of generalizations, we use the Chen-Ruan orbifold cohomology to express the local data in a way which can be related to the Euler characteristic of the underlying space of the orbifold. This case applies only to orbifolds which admit almost-complex structures.

description: The non-perturbative input necessary for the determination of the ${\cal O}(g^6)$ part of the weak coupling expansion of the free energy density for SU(2) and SU(3) gauge theories is estimated. Although the perturbative information completing the contribution to this order is missing, we give arguments that the magnetic fluctuations are dominated by screened elementary magnetic gluons.

description: Quantum computers promise polynomial or exponential speed-up in solving certain problems compared to classical computers. However, in practical use, there are currently a number of fundamental technical challenges. One of them concerns the loading of data into quantum computers, since they cannot access common databases. In this vision paper, we develop a hybrid data management architecture in which databases can serve as data sources for quantum algorithms. To test the architecture, we perform experiments in which we assign data points stored in a database to clusters. For cluster assignment, a quantum algorithm processes this data by determining the distances between data points and cluster centroids.

description: Recent progress in human-robot collaboration makes fast and fluid interactions possible, even when human observations are partial and occluded. Methods like Interaction Probabilistic Movement Primitives (ProMP) model human trajectories through motion capture systems. However, such representation does not properly model tasks where similar motions handle different objects. Under current approaches, a robot would not adapt its pose and dynamics for proper handling. We integrate the use of Electromyography (EMG) into the Interaction ProMP framework and utilize muscular signals to augment the human observation representation. The contribution of our paper is increased task discernment when trajectories are similar but tools are different and require the robot to adjust its pose for proper handling. Interaction ProMPs are used with an augmented vector that integrates muscle activity. Augmented time-normalized trajectories are used in training to learn correlation parameters and robot motions are predicted by finding the best weight combination and temporal scaling for a task. Collaborative single task scenarios with similar motions but different objects were used and compared. For one experiment only joint angles were recorded, for the other EMG signals were additionally integrated. Task recognition was computed for both tasks. Observation state vectors with augmented EMG signals were able to completely identify differences across tasks, while the baseline method failed every time. Integrating EMG signals into collaborative tasks significantly increases the ability of the system to recognize nuances in the tasks that are otherwise imperceptible, up to 74.6% in our studies. Furthermore, the integration of EMG signals for collaboration also opens the door to a wide class of human-robot physical interactions based on haptic communication that has been largely unexploited in the field.

description: This study explores the social, political, economic, and cultural dimensions of a U.S.-based transnational education (tne) program in China. Tne refers to education programs provided by an institution located in another country, and this study focused on higher (tertiary) education. Six questions provided the focus for this study: (1) What are the organizational dynamics of the tne program? (2) How do social, political, economic, and cultural dimensions influence program operation? (3) How do Chinese government policies influence program operation and quality? (4) Does the program reflect standards outlined by professional associations that monitor tne program quality? (5) What satisfactions and dissatisfactions do tne students report? (6) What satisfactions and dissatisfactions do tne instructors report? In the U.S., "Northeast College" a private, four-year institution initiated the tne program, partnering with five Chinese universities. In China, the Director of Northeast China Programs, International (NCPI)--a private, for-profit company--administered the program. Data were gathered at two of the five universities while the researcher was an NCPI-hired instructor during 2007-2008. Data consisted of observational field notes, tne program documents, correspondence with ncpi staff, and semi-structured interviews with students and instructors. Four key findings emerged from this case study: (1) Chinese government policies appear to foster "academic capitalism" and to encourage "buying" higher educations programs from developed countries; in turn, institutions such as Northeast College appear willing to "sell" their educational program; (2) the tne program lacks transparency and accountability measures that characterize the vast majority of U.S. colleges and universities; (3) the primary goal for this tne program is profit ($10 million gross in 2008), --at best, student learning is a secondary goal; and (4) the Director of ncpi relied on the Chinese cultural concepts of "guanxi" (a complex network of interpersonal connections, in which favors or service for others are reciprocated) to establish the program and "face" (sense of worth and perceived status) to market the program to students and their parents. The study concludes with nine policy recommendations to diminish the negative consequences of buying, selling, and trading higher education programs in a global market.
