subject: FOS: Philosophy, ethics and religion

description: When performing causal discovery, assumptions have to be made on how the true causal mechanism corresponds to the underlying joint probability distribution. These assumptions are labeled as causal razors in this work. More than a dozen of causal razors have been surveyed in the literature. Offering a comprehensive logical analysis of them is the first task of this dissertation. Next, I demonstrate how edge counting is different from the enumeration of parameters when defining causal razors. This distinction gives rise to not only a practical dilemma for algorithm users but also an epistemological problem on what to assume. Another project that will be covered in this work is the extensive exposition of a recent causal search algorithm named GRaSP which outperforms certain state-of-the-art algorithms in accuracy and scalability. The algorithm will be examined in relation to the causal razors to establish its theoretical foundation.

description: ABSTRACT: Switching coordination networks (CNs) that reversibly transform between narrow or closed pore (cp) and large pore (lp) phases, though fewer than their rigid counter-parts, offer opportunities for sorption-related applications. However, their structural transformations and switching mechanisms remain underexplored at the molecular level. In this study, we conducted a systematic investigation into a 2D switching CN, [Ni(bpy)2(NCS)2]n, sql-1-Ni-NCS (1 = bpy = 4,4′-bipyridine), using coincident gas sorption and in situ powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) under low-temperature conditions. Gas adsorption measurements revealed that C2H4 (169 K) and C2H6 (185 K) exhibited single-step type F−IVs sorption isotherms with sorption uptakes of around 180−185 cm3 g−1 , equivalent to four sorbate molecules per formula unit. Furthermore, parallel in situ PXRD experiments provided insight into sorbate-dependent phase switching during the sorption process. Specifically, CO2 sorption induced single-step phase switching (path I) solely between cp and lp phases consistent with the observed single-step type F−IVs sorption isotherm. By contrast, intermediate pore (ip) phases emerged during C2H4 and C2H6 desorption as well as C3H6 adsorption, although they remained undetectable in the sorption isotherms. To our knowledge, such a cp-lp-ip-cp transformation (path II) induced by C2H4/6 and accompanied by single-step type F−IVs sorption isotherms represents a novel type of phase transition mechanism in switching CNs. By virtue of Rietveld refinements and molecular simulations, we elucidated that the phase transformations are governed by cooperative local and global structural changes involving NCS− ligand reorientation, bpy ligand twist and rotation, cavity edge (Ni-bpy-Ni) deformation, and interlayer expansion and sliding.

Cepheid Color-Temperature Relations

Year: 1999

description: Using our 1997 work in spectroscopic temperatures, as well as published Cepheid photometry, we derive color-temperature relations for a set of 13 Cepheids in Galactic clusters. The colors and temperatures used are individual values taken at different phases, rather than mean values averaged over the pulsational cycle. The observed colors are corrected for both reddening and metallicity. The effect of gravity on the colors is small. We find that B-V and V-R are the best colors to use to determine a Cepheid photometric temperature scale. These color-temperature relations will be useful for future Cepheid Baade-Wesselink studies and for abundance analyses of more Galactic and extragalactic Cepheids.

description: The search for financial opportunities to promote value creation has been a key topic in the literature concerning geographical indications. In this framework, a relevant set of opportunities is provided by the rural development policy (Rdp) of the European Union. However, access to Rdp is not easy: therefore, value creation through consumption of Rdp is the result of an individual and collective entrepreneurial process within a GI area. This paper intends to look into different adoption strategies of Rdp to promote value creation in a GI food supply chain. Our results confirm, on the one hand, a high-er aptitude to create value through Rdp on behalf of farms working inside GI circuits; on the other hand, empirical analysis evidences a limited set of consumed measures by the farms. This reflects a lost opportunities in terms of value creation.
$\bar{K} + N \to K + Ξ$ reaction and $S=-1$ hyperon resonances

description: The $\bar{K} + N \to K + Ξ$ reaction is studied for center-of-momentum energies ranging from threshold to 3 GeV in an effective Lagrangian approach that includes the hyperon $s$- and $u$-channel contributions as well as a phenomenological contact amplitude. The latter accounts for the rescattering term in the scattering equation and possible short-range dynamics not included explicitly in the model. Existing data are well reproduced and three above-the-threshold resonances were found to be required to describe the data, namely, the $Λ(1890)$, $Σ(2030)$, and $Σ(2250)$. For the latter resonance we have assumed the spin-parity of $J^P=5/2^-$ and a mass of 2265 MeV. The $Σ(2030)$ resonance is crucial in achieving a good reproduction of not only the measured total and differential cross sections, but also the recoil polarization asymmetry. More precise data are required before a more definitive statement can be made about the other two resonances, in particular, about the $Σ(2250)$ resonance that is introduced to describe a small bump structure observed in the total cross section of $K^- + p \to K^+ + Ξ^-$. The present analysis also reveals a peculiar behavior of the total cross section data in the threshold energy region in $K^- + p \to K^+ + Ξ^-$, where the $P$- and $D$-waves dominate instead of the usual $S$-wave. Predictions for the target-recoil asymmetries of the $\bar{K} + N \to K + Ξ$ reaction are also presented.

description: We present new B-band CCD photometry for five double-mode RR Lyrae (RRd) variables (V68, V79, V87, V99, and V166) in the globular cluster M3. The pulsational behavior of the RRd variables is described. V68 and V87 have been known as RRd variables since 1982, V79 was recently discovered as an RRd (Clement et al.), and our data have identified V99 and V166 as RRd variables (Corwin et al.). Earlier studies of V79 and V166 do not show double-mode behavior, which indicates that these stars have only recently become RRd stars. V166 changed its dominant pulsation mode from fundamental to first overtone in the interval 1992 to 1993. The candidate double-mode variables V28 and V126 do not exhibit clear RRd behavior in the 1992–1993 data.

description: Above the Kondo temperature, the Kohn-Sham zero-bias conductance of an Anderson junction has been shown to completely miss the Coulomb blockade. Within a standard model for the spectral function, we deduce a parameterization for both the onsite exchange-correlation potential and the bias drop as a function of the site occupation that applies for all correlation strengths. We use our results to sow doubt on the common interpretation of such corrections as arising from dynamical exchange-correlation contributions.

description: Resumen La cuantificación de bacterias es crítica si se desean comprender los procesos microbiológicos de muestras ambientales, industriales o clínicas, ya que solo así se determinará si los microorganismos son suficientes para desarrollar una función benéfica o perjudicial. Existen varios métodos de conteo bacteriano con buenos límites de detección, sin embargo, son poco eficientes cuando se trata de procesar varias muestras; debido a la cantidad de material requerido para procesar cada muestra y al consumo de tiempo experimental. Por esta razón, en este estudio se muestra la evaluación del método de “Goteo por Sellado en Placa Masivo” (GSPM), que muestra un enorme potencial para facilitar la cuantificación. Esto se evidencia al hacer 3 experimentos que demuestran su versatilidad con las muestras, su rapidez, ahorro de recursos en cuanto a material, su reproducibilidad y cuantificación simultánea [1].

The Integrated Spectra of M32 and of 47 Tucanae: A Comparative Study in the Mid-Ultraviolet With IUE
Creators: name: Deng, Shibing
name: Rose, James A.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1999

description: Low-resolution mid-UV spectra of M32 and 47 Tuc have been extracted from the IUE archival database, along with spectra of 41 F and G dwarfs with well-determined atmospheric parameters and integrated spectra of 24 Galactic globular clusters. We have used five mid-UV spectral indices defined by Fanelli et al. to constrain the stellar content of M32 and 47 Tuc and to make a comparative study between the two stellar systems. In the case of 47 Tuc, the bulk of the mid-UV light is shown to come from the main-sequence turnoff stars, with much smaller (but significant) contributions coming from red horizontal-branch stars, red giants, and A stars (presumably, blue stragglers). In contrast, M32 is shown to have no significant contribution from a red horizontal-branch population, has a more metal-rich main-sequence turnoff, and has a significantly larger hot star contribution than is inferred to be present in 47 Tuc. These inferences are consistent with conclusions obtained from integrated light studies of M32 and 47 Tuc in the blue.

description: We summarize the results from a program of monitoring the radial velocities of 10 metal-poor, high-velocity field stars whose colors are 0.01 to 0.13 mag bluer than main-sequence turnoffs of comparable-metallicity globular clusters. Two of the candidate halo blue stragglers (BD +72 94 and BD +40 1166) show no signs of velocity variability, one (HD 84937) shows only weak signs of variability, one (BD +25 1981) appears to be a very long-period binary, and six (BD -12 2669, HD 97916, HD 106516, BD +51 1817, G66-30, and G202-65) are single-lined spectroscopic binaries, with periods ranging from 167 to 844 days. Velocity coverage for the four candidates without orbital solutions ranges from 15.9 to 19.0 years. The orbital eccentricities are all low, e < 0.30 and e = 0.11. Five of the six binary orbits have very low eccentricities, with e = 0.07. We have reanalyzed the velocity data from Preston & Sneden and have derived orbital solutions similar to theirs for 10 of the spectroscopic binaries among their "blue metal-poor" stars with [Fe/H] ≤ -0.6. We confirm their conclusion that the binary frequency is high; we find 47 ± 10% if we include only the definite binaries with [Fe/H] ≤ -0.6. Our orbital solutions for the seven binaries with periods longer than 20 days all have low eccentricities, with e ≤ 0.26 and e = 0.11. These orbital characteristics are very similar to the Ba II, CH, subgiant CH, and dwarf carbon stars, suggesting that mass transfer has been involved in their formation. Of the five binary stars in our program with published abundances of lithium, all have been found to be deficient (and one in beryllium as well). In contrast, two of the three apparently single stars have published lithium abundances and show no deficiency. The mass functions for the six binaries in our program and seven similar systems studied by Preston & Sneden are consistent with their unseen companions all being white dwarfs with M ≈ 0.55 M and random orbital inclinations. Taking all of our observations and those of others together, we argue that the results are consistent with all field blue stragglers being binary systems with long periods and low eccentricities, the primary stars being deficient in lithium and the secondary stars being normal-mass white dwarfs. All these properties are suggestive of a blue-straggler formation model that involves mass transfer. For six of the 13 stars in the two programs for which s-process elemental abundances are available, no signs of enhancement are discernible, suggesting that the donor star was a first-ascent red giant. For the star with the longest orbital period (1307 days), CS 22956-028, s-process abundance enhancements have been reported. This star may be a precursor to the subgiant CH class, as suggested by Luck & Bond.

description: Photolithography plays a consequential role in transferring patterns from photomasks to
 substrates and thereby is an important tool in semiconductor, IC, MEMS and many
 microstructures’ production. The photomasks are preprinted prior to the
 photolithographic procedure with certain layouts, and these layouts are transferred to
 surfaces of materials like silicon during the lithography and finally these surfaces
 undergo chemical processes by which three dimensional micro features are formed.
 Therefore photomasks containing specific layouts are the inevitable components in the
 entire procedure, but unfortunately those are expensive in its nature together with time
 consuming production formalities. Some of the successful attempts to remove these
 difficulties are cost effective photomasks and maskless lithography. A system named ‘Maskless Exposure Device’ (MED) is introduced here as my thesis
 related research and it is intended to replace the expensive photomasks. The device
 transfers images and layouts created on a computer, easily and effortlessly to different
 substrate surfaces and can be repeatedly used in photolithography by introducing new
 drawings on the computer screen and thereby, MED is nothing but a maskless
 lithographic technique. The device can be mainly used in research and development applications in MEMS
 production, microfluidic systems, semiconductor and biosensor designs, patterning of
 cell culture substrates, electrode structures etc. Research on design of microsensors and
 microactuators could be confronted extremely cost effectively with maximum time
 saving considerations.

description: We present Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer (NICMOS) camera 3 photometry of the inner halo globular cluster NGC 6287 and the intermediate halo globular cluster NGC 6341 (M92). Our photometric measurements range from the lower red giant branch to ≈3 mag below the main-sequence turnoff, allowing us to define accurate mean loci of the two clusters. Our relative age estimate between NGC 6287 and M92 using the color difference between the main-sequence turnoff and the base of the red giant branch shows that they essentially have the same ages within ±2 Gyr. The slightly different chemical compositions between the two clusters do not significantly influence our result. Our simulations using synthetic spectra show that the temperature dependence of the interstellar reddening law for the HST NICMOS photometric system could be a more serious problem in the relative age estimate using the color difference between the main-sequence turnoff and the base of the red giant branch. However, this effect adds no more than ±0.5–1 Gyr to the uncertainty in our relative age estimate. Our color-magnitude diagram of NGC 6287 shows a well-defined blue horizontal branch population. This is consistent with its age and metallicity. We also present the relative interstellar reddening toward NGC 6287 and distance modulus with respect to those of M92. We find E(B-V) = 0.62 and (m-M)0 = 14.35 for NGC 6287, which are generally in good agreement with previous estimates. Our photometry suggests that there exists a differential reddening across NGC 6287 with an amount of ΔE(B-V) = 0.07–0.09 mag, consistent with the previous study of Stetson & West. The Galactocentric distance of NGC 6287 becomes RGC = 1.6 kpc if R0 = 8.0 kpc. Based on our new radial velocity measurement for NGC 6287, the cluster's (minimum) apogalacticon distance is Ra ≈ 5.5 kpc, suggesting that NGC 6287 is an inner halo cluster. Within this framework, our results are consistent with the idea that the globular cluster formation must have been triggered everywhere at the same time in our Galaxy. In the appendices, we discuss that the interstellar extinction law of the HST NICMOS photometric system, particularly in the F110W passband, depends on the temperature of the stars in the sense that hotter stars suffer more interstellar absorption than cooler stars.

description: On top of the mean-field analysis of a Bose-Einstein condensate, one typically applies the Bogoliubov theory to analyze quantum fluctuations of the excited modes. Therefore, one has to diagonalize the Bogoliubov Hamiltonian in a symplectic manner. In our article we investigate the topology of these Bogoliubov excitations in inversion-invariant systems of interacting bosons. We analyze how the condensate influences the topology of the Bogoliubov excitations. Analogously to the fermionic case, here we establish a symplectic extension of the polarization characterizing the topology of the Bogoliubov excitations and link it to the eigenvalues of the inversion operator at the inversion-invariant momenta. We also demonstrate an instructive but experimentally feasible example that this quantity is also related to edge states in the excitation spectrum.

description: We present orbital solutions for 34 double-lined spectroscopic binaries found in the Carney-Latham sample of 1464 stars selected for high proper motion. We use TODCOR, a two-dimensional correlation technique, to extract the velocities for the primary and secondary stars and their light ratio. For our single-order echelle spectra, obtained with the Center for Astrophysics Digital Speedometers, we find that we can reach secondaries that are as much as 2 mag fainter than their primaries. The ratio of the primary to secondary velocity residuals from the orbital fit equals approximately the secondary-to-primary light ratio, as would be expected for the photon-limited case. We use our mass and light ratios to evaluate the mass-luminosity relation for metal-poor main-sequence dwarfs in the mass range 0.55–0.8 M. We assume an L ∝ β relation and find that the exponent at around 5200 Å is 7.4 ± 0.6. We find this is in good agreement with the slope of the corresponding theoretical MV- 14 Gyr isochrones from the VandenBerg & Bell models for metal-poor stars.

description: To monitor environmental and biological processes, Land Surface Temperature (LST) is a central variable, which is highly variable in space and time. This particularly applies to the Antarctic Dry Valleys, which host an ecosystem highly adapted to the extreme conditions in this cold desert. To predict possible climate induced changes on the Dry Valley ecosystem, high spatial and temporal resolution environmental variables are needed. Thus we enhanced the spatial resolution of the MODIS satellite LST product that is sensed sub-daily at a 1 km spatial resolution to a 30 m spatial resolution. We employed machine learning models that are trained using Landsat 8 thermal infrared data from 2013 to 2019 as a reference to predict LST at 30 m resolution. For the downscaling procedure, terrain derived variables and information on the soil type as well as the solar insolation were used as potential predictors in addition to MODIS LST. The trained model can be applied to all available MODIS scenes from 1999 onward to develop a 30 m resolution LST product of the Antarctic Dry Valleys. A spatio-temporal validation revealed an R2 of 0.78 and a RMSE of 3.32 ∘C. The downscaled LST will provide a valuable surface climate data set for various research applications, such as species distribution modeling, climate model evaluation, and the basis for the development of further relevant environmental information such as the surface moisture distribution.

description: We report 25,563 radial velocity measurements for 1359 single-lined stars in the Carney-Latham sample of 1464 stars selected for high proper motion. For 171 of these, we present spectroscopic orbital solutions. We find no obvious difference between the binary characteristics in the halo and the disk populations. The observed frequency is the same, and the period distributions are consistent with the hypothesis that the two sets of binaries were drawn from the same parent population. This suggests that metallicity in general, and radiative opacities in particular, have little influence over the fragmentation process that leads to short-period binaries. All the binaries with periods shorter than 10 days have nearly circular orbits, while the binaries with periods longer than 20 days exhibit a wide range of eccentricities and a median value of 0.37. For the metal-poor high-velocity halo binaries in our sample, the transition from circular to eccentric orbits appears to occur at about 20 days, supporting the conclusion that tidal circularization on the main sequence is important for the oldest binaries in the Galaxy.

description: We study the one-dimensional Riemann problem for a hyperbolic system of three conservation laws of Temple class. This systems it is a simplification of a recently propose system of five conservations laws by Bouchut and Boyaval that model viscoelastic fluids. An important issues is that the considered $3 \times 3$ system is such that every characteristic field is linearly degenerate. We show the Riemann problem for this system. Under suitable generalized Rankine-Hugoniot relation and entropy condition, both existence and uniqueness of particular delta-shock type solutions are established.

description: This paper investigated the rationale for teacher education and professional development in re-positioning education in the 4th industrial revolution in Enugu State, Nigeria. Two research questions were raised to guide the study. A descriptive survey design was employed as the research design for the study. The population of the study is made up of 60 respondents selected across all levels of education, comprising 20 teachers each drawn from 2 public and 2 private schools across all levels of education in Enugu State. Structured questionnaire was the instrument for data collection. The sample size is the same as the population of the study because the size was manageable, the whole population was studied. The collected data was analysed using frequencies and percentages. The findings of the study state that most teachers across all levels of education both private and public schools have the desire to adopt advanced technologies, to help them develop themselves professionally, promote their students’ academic excellence, make them better teachers, and as well enhance their intellectual growth. Based on these findings, the study recommends that the educational system should as a matter of necessity, enlighten, motivate, and embolden teachers across all levels of education on the need to link these technologies and smart devices to teaching and learning to promote teacher education and teacher professional development.

description: Virality of online content on social networking websites is an important but esoteric phenomenon often studied in fields like marketing, psychology and data mining. In this paper we study viral images from a computer vision perspective. We introduce three new image datasets from Reddit, and define a virality score using Reddit metadata. We train classifiers with state-of-the-art image features to predict virality of individual images, relative virality in pairs of images, and the dominant topic of a viral image. We also compare machine performance to human performance on these tasks. We find that computers perform poorly with low level features, and high level information is critical for predicting virality. We encode semantic information through relative attributes. We identify the 5 key visual attributes that correlate with virality. We create an attribute-based characterization of images that can predict relative virality with 68.10% accuracy (SVM+Deep Relative Attributes) -- better than humans at 60.12%. Finally, we study how human prediction of image virality varies with different `contexts' in which the images are viewed, such as the influence of neighbouring images, images recently viewed, as well as the image title or caption. This work is a first step in understanding the complex but important phenomenon of image virality. Our datasets and annotations will be made publicly available.

Analyzing Starbursts Using Magellanic Cloud Star Clusters as Simple Stellar Populations
Creators: name: Leonardi, Andrew J.
name: Rose, James A.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2003

description: Integrated spectra have been obtained of 31 star clusters in the Magellanic Clouds (MC) and of four Galactic globular clusters. The spectra cover the wavelength range 3500–4700 Å at a resolution of 3.2 Å FWHM. The MC clusters primarily cover the age range from less than 108 to about 3 Gyr and hence are well-suited to an empirical study of aging poststarburst stellar populations. An age-dating method is presented that relies on two spectral absorption feature indices, Hδ/Fe I λ4045 and Ca II, as well as an index measuring the strength of the Balmer discontinuity. We compare the behavior of the spectral indices in the observed integrated spectra of the MC clusters with that of indices generated from theoretical evolutionary synthesis models of varying age and metal abundance. The synthesis models are based on those of Worthey, when coupled with the combination of an empirical library of stellar spectra by Jones for the cooler stars and synthetic spectra, generated from Kurucz model atmospheres, for the hotter stars. Overall, we find good agreement between the ages of the MC clusters derived from our integrated spectra (and the evolutionary synthesis modelling of the spectral indices) and ages derived from analyses of the cluster color-magnitude diagrams, as found in the literature. Hence, the principal conclusion of this study is that ages of young stellar populations can be reliably measured from modelling of their integrated spectra.
title: Approaches to pseudotype DNA and RNA viruses of veterinary interest for use as tools in cell tropism and immune response studies
Creators: name: Di Genova, Cecilia
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2022

description: Pseudotype viruses (PVs) provide an alternative platform to wild type viruses since they mimic their receptor binding and entry processes and able to interact with the host immune response. For this thesis, a PV system was developed to conduct experimental research on a DNA and RNA viruses of veterinary interest. Equid herpesvirus 1 (EHV-1) is a DNA virus of the Herpesviridae family representing a significant welfare issue in horses and a great impact on the equine industry. EHV-1 entry mechanism is complicated by the presence of twelve glycoproteins on the viral envelope. To investigate EHV-1 entry, a simplified lentiviral PV system was generated including gB, gD, gH and gL able to transduce target cell lines demonstrating that the four essential entry glycoproteins of EHV-1 are not only required but also sufficient for cell entry. Successful generation of an EHV-1 PV permitted the development of a PV neutralisation assay (PVNA). Feasibility of the PVNA was first tested by measuring the level of neutralising antibodies in EHV-1 experimentally infected horses in a longitudinal manner and secondly by detecting an immune response in vaccinated horses. The performance of the assay was compared with a conventional EHV-1 virus neutralisation (VN) assay, showing a good correlation. Furthermore, PVs routinely require -80°C for long term storage and a dry ice cold-chain during transport which can impede dissemination and utilisation in other laboratories. Consequently, freeze-drying (lyophilisation) of EHV-1 PVs was investigated to address this issue. PVs were lyophilised and pellets either reconstituted immediately or stored under various temperature conditions at different timepoints. The recovery and functionality of these lyophilised PVs was compared with standard frozen aliquots in titration and neutralisation tests. Influenza viruses are RNA viruses of the Orthomyxoviridae family and some novel Influenza. A viruses that circulate among avian species pose a concern to public health. Partial genomic RNA sequences from an apparently novel strain (denoted Kz52) close to the H9 subtype were isolated from a dead Aythya farina near the Caspian Sea in Kazakhstan. Different approaches were attempted to generate Kz52 PV for the future perspective to develop a PVNA system for screening and sero-surveillance studies in wild birds. Despite the challenges in generating the PV system, here we show the ability of Kz52 HA to cross-react to antibodies suggesting the potential of Kz52 HA to trigger an immune response.
