description: We study the \textit{Roman} sensitivity to exoplanets in the Habitable Zone (HZ). The \textit{Roman}~efficiency for detecting habitable planets is maximized for three classes of planetary microlensing events with close caustic topologies. (a) The events with the lens distances of $D_{\rm l} \gtrsim 7$ kpc, the host lens masses of $M_{\rm h}\gtrsim 0.6M_{\odot}$. By assuming Jupiter-mass planets in the HZs, these events have $q\lesssim 0.001$ and $d\gtrsim 0.17$ ($q$ is their mass ratio and $d$ is the projected planet-host distance on the sky plane normalized to the Einstein radius). The events with primary lenses, $M_{\rm h} \lesssim 0.1 M_{\odot}$, while their lens systems are either (b) close to the observer with $D_{\rm l}\lesssim 1$ kpc or (c) close to the Galactic bulge, $D_{\rm l}\gtrsim 7$ kpc. For Jupiter-mass planets in the HZs of the primary lenses, the events in these two classes have $q\gtrsim 0.01$, $d\lesssim 0.04$. The events in the class (a) make larger caustics. By simulating planetary microlensing events detectable by \textit{Roman},~we conclude that the \textit{Roman}~efficiencies for detecting Earth- and Jupiter-mass planets in the Optimistic HZs (OHZs, which is the region between $[0.5,~2]$ AU around a Sun-like star) are $0.01\%$ and $5\%$, respectively. If we assume that one exoplanet orbits each microlens in microlensing events detectable by \textit{Roman}~( i.e., $\sim 27000$ ),~this telescope has the potential to detects $35$ exoplanets with the projected planet-host distances in the OHZs with only one having a mass $\lesssim 10M_{\oplus}$. According to the simulation, $27$ of these exoplanets are actually in the OHZs.

description: Knowledge of solar irradiance variability is critical to Earth's climate models and understanding the solar influence on Earth's climate. Direct solar irradiance measurements are only available since 1978. Reconstructions of past variability typically rely on sunspot data. These provide only indirect information on the facular and network regions, which are decisive contributors to irradiance variability on timescales of the solar cycle and longer. Our ultimate goal is to reconstruct past solar irradiance variations using historical full-disc Ca II K observations to describe the facular contribution independently of sunspot observations. Here, we develop the method and test it extensively by using modern CCD-based Ca II K observations and carry out initial tests on two photographic archives. We employ carefully reduced and calibrated Ca II K images from 13 datasets, such as those from the Meudon, Mt Wilson, and Rome observatories. We convert them to unsigned magnetograms and then use them as input to the adapted SATIRE model to reconstruct TSI variations over the period 1978-2019, for which direct irradiance measurements are available. The reconstructed TSI from the analysed Ca II K archives agrees well with direct TSI measurements and existing reconstructions. The model also returns good results on data taken with different bandpasses and images with low spatial resolution. Historical Ca II K archives suffer from numerous inconsistencies, but we show that these archives can still be used to reconstruct TSI with reasonable accuracy provided the observations are accurately processed. By using the unsigned magnetograms of the Sun reconstructed from high-quality Ca II K observations as input into the SATIRE model, we can reconstruct solar irradiance variations nearly as accurately as from directly recorded magnetograms.

description: The present work aims to validate the positions of solar filaments published in the Annals of Coimbra University Astronomical Observatory, currently the Geophysical and Astronomical Observatory of the University of Coimbra, corresponding to years 1929 to 1941. The published Stonyhurst positions were obtained by an original method devised in the early 20th century that used a spherical calculator instrument, a wood-made model of the sun. We used the digital images of the original spectroheliograms to measure the positions of the filaments, and heliographic coordinates were determinate with the routines implemented on python package Sunpy. The correlation coefficients between both sets of coordinates are positive and highly significant. The results validate the method used at the Coimbra observatory and the data published. We conclude that Coimbra solar filaments catalogues are reliable and can therefore be considered for future solar activity studies.

Breadmaking properties of barley proteins

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Similarities can be drawn between protein contents, solubility profile, remix loaf volume, and total sulfhydryl-disulfide contents of barley and wheat flours. However, the quantitative relat-ship between loaf volume and protein content or protein solubility distribution used for wheat flour did not apply to barley. Barley flour demonstrated very poor breadmaking ability and low loaf volume. Elution patterns from Sephadex G100 showed that the molecular weight of barley gluten was lower than wheat. Sephadex G150 elution profiles of barley and wheat glutelin gave two and three peaks respectively. The F₂ fraction of wheat glutenin, which differentiates the breadmaking potential of different wheat flours, was missing in barley. Turbidity studies on protein aggregation behavior revealed that barley proteins had a lower aggregation rate than wheat. Wheat gliadin gave the highest rate of aggregation, while hordein failed to aggregate. The alcohol soluble protein fraction of barley was capable of polymerization via disulfide bridges at low temperatures, which resulted in 'gluten' formation in vitro. Such a phenomenon was not observed in wheat. Addition of oxidizing agents did not improve the quality of barley dough. These suggested that the thiol and disulfide groups of barley are either very inaccessible, and/or different from wheat. Therefore, it is postulated that the Theologically effective sulfhydryl and disulfide groups in barley are inferior in quality and quantity than that of wheat. Amino acid analysis demonstrated that proteins of barley and wheat were different in structure and composition. The amount of glutamic acid in barley was only about 70fo that of wheat. Fluorescence quenching studies showed that hydrophobicity of wheat gluten was higher than barley. Barley is weak in the vital chemical forces which govern breadmaking potential, and furthermore there are numerous differences among functional proteins of these two cereals. These studies would provide some insights to their differences in physical properties and breadmaking potentials.

description: Based on updated pulsation models for Classical Cepheids, computed for various assumptions about the metallicity and helium abundance, roughly representative of pulsators in the Small Magellanic Cloud ($Z$=$0.004$ and $Y$=$0.25$), Large Magellanic Cloud ($Z$=$0.008$ and $Y$=$0.25$), and M31 ($Z$=$0.03$ and $Y$=$0.28$), and self-consistent updated evolutionary predictions, we derived Period-Age and multi-band Period-Age-Color relations that also take into account variations in the Mass-Luminosity relation. These results, combined with those previously derived for Galactic Cepheids, were used to investigate the metallicity effect when using these variables as age indicators. In particular, we found that a variation in the metal abundance affects both the slope and the zero point of the above-mentioned relations. The new relations were applied to a sample of Gaia Early Data Release 3 Classical Cepheids. The retrieved distribution of the individual ages confirms that a brighter Mass-Luminosity relation produces older ages and that First Overtone pulsators are found to be concentrated towards older ages with respect to the Fundamental ones at a fixed Mass-Luminosity relation. Moreover, the inclusion of a metallicity term in the Period-Age and Period-Age-Color relations slightly modifies the predicted ages. In particular, the age distribution of the selected sample of Galactic Cepheids is found to be shifted towards slightly older values, when the F-mode canonical relations are considered, with respect to the case at a fixed solar chemical composition. A marginally opposite dependence can be found in the noncanonical F-mode and canonical FO-mode cases.

The Two-Loop $ϕ^4$ Kink Mass

description: At one loop, quantum kinks are described by a free theory. The nonlinearity and so the interesting phenomenology arrives at two loops, where, for example, internal excitations couple to continuum excitations. We calculate the two-loop mass of a scalar kink. Unlike previous calculations, we include a counterterm which cancels the vacuum energy density at this order, so that our result for the kink mass is finite even when the vacuum energy density is nonzero. This allows us to apply our result to the $ϕ^4$ kink, for which we obtain a two-loop mass contribution of $0.0126λ/m$ in terms of the coupling $λ$ and the meson mass $m$ evaluated at the minimum of the potential.

description: Over the past two decades, thousands of confirmed exoplanets have been detected; the next major challenge is to characterize these other worlds and their stellar systems. Much information on the composition and formation of exoplanets and circumstellar debris disks can only be achieved via direct imaging. Direct imaging is challenging because of the small angular separations ($<1$ arcsec) and high star-to-planet flux ratios (${\sim}10^{9}$ for a Jupiter analog or ${\sim}10^{10}$ for an Earth analog in the visible). Atmospheric turbulence prohibits reaching such high flux ratios on the ground, so observations must be made above the Earth's atmosphere. The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope (Roman), set to launch in the mid-2020s, will be the first space-based observatory to demonstrate high-contrast imaging with active wavefront control using its Coronagraph Instrument. The instrument's main purpose is to mature the various technologies needed for a future flagship mission to image and characterize Earth-like exoplanets. These technologies include two high-actuator-count deformable mirrors, photon-counting detectors, two complementary wavefront sensing and control loops, and two different coronagraph types. In this paper, we describe the complete set of flight coronagraph mask designs and their intended combinations in the Roman Coronagraph Instrument. There are three types of mask configurations included: a primary one designed to meet the instrument's top-level requirement, three that are supported on a best-effort basis, and several unsupported ones contributed by the NASA Exoplanet Exploration Program. The unsupported mask configurations could be commissioned and used if the instrument is approved for operations after its initial technology demonstration phase.

description: Altered epigenetic mechanisms have been previously reported in growth restricted offspring whose mothers experienced environmental insults during pregnancy in both human and rodent studies. We previously reported changes in the expression of the DNA methyltransferase Dnmt3a and the imprinted genes Cdkn1c (Cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1C) and Kcnq1 (Potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily Q member 1) in the kidney tissue of growth restricted rats whose mothers had uteroplacental insufficiency induced on day 18 of gestation, at both embryonic day 20 (E20) and postnatal day 1 (PN1). To determine the mechanisms responsible for changes in the expression of these imprinted genes, we investigated DNA methylation of KvDMR1, an imprinting control region (ICR) that includes the promoter of the antisense long non-coding RNA Kcnq1ot1 (Kcnq1 opposite strand/antisense transcript 1). Kcnq1ot1 expression decreased by 51% in growth restricted offspring compared to sham at PN1. Interestingly, there was a negative correlation between Kcnq1ot1 and Kcnq1 in the E20 growth restricted group (Spearman’s ρ = 0.014). No correlation was observed between Kcnq1ot1 and Cdkn1c expression in either group at any time point. Additionally, there was a 11.25% decrease in the methylation level at one CpG site within KvDMR1 ICR. This study, together with others in the literature, supports that long non-coding RNAs may mediate changes seen in tissues of growth restricted offspring.

description: Extremely preterm (EP) infants have high rates of respiratory morbidity and correspondingly high healthcare resource utilization. Data from the PHARMO Perinatal Research Network were analyzed to quantify the burden of EP birth in the Netherlands. A retrospective analysis included infants <28 weeks gestational age with a birth record in the Perinatal Registry (1999–2015) and data in the PHARMO Database Network. Outcomes of interest included select comorbidities, hospital readmissions, and costs of hospitalization and medication up to 1- and 2-years corrected age. Outcomes were stratified by birth period (1999–2005, 2000–2009, 2010–2015) and by diagnosis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and chronic lung disease (CLD). The cohort included 168 EP infants (37 born 1999–2005, 51 born 2006–2009, 80 born 2010–2015). Median (Q1–Q3) birth weights decreased by birth period from 970 (840–1,035) g in 1999–2005 to 853 (695–983) g in 2010–2015. Overall, BPD and CLD were reported during the birth hospitalization in 40% and 29% of infants, respectively; rates of BPD increased and rates of CLD decreased by birth period. Eighty-four percent of EP infants had an additional comorbidity. Mean (standard deviation) costs of birth hospitalization were €110,600 (€73,000) for 1999–2005, €119,350 (€60,650) for 2006–2009, and €138,800 (€130,100) for 2010–2015. Birth hospitalization and total costs for up to 1- and 2-years corrected age were higher for infants with BPD and/or CLD than for those without either complication. Healthcare resource utilization and costs for EP infants, especially for those with respiratory morbidities, increased between 1999 and 2015. Future cost-effectiveness analyses are essential to determine the economic impact of this change and underscore the need for new therapeutic interventions to decrease clinical sequelae in this vulnerable population.

description: We study theoretically the mode conversion and the resonant absorption of high frequency electromagnetic waves into longitudinal modes in magnetized and stratified plasmas in the case where the external magnetic field is perpendicular to both the directions of inhomogeneity and wave propagation. Mode conversion is shown to occur only when the waves are extraordinary waves. We develop an efficient method for calculating the mode conversion coefficient for arbitrary spatial configurations of the plasma density and the external magnetic field in a numerically exact manner using the invariant imbedding method. We calculate the mode conversion coefficient extensively as a function of the incident angle, the external magnetic field, and the plasma density in the incident region. We show that there is strong asymmetry under the sign change of the incident angle and the external magnetic field and find that the mode conversion coefficient is close to one in certain ranges of the parameter values. We discuss the implications of our results in plasma heating phenomena.

Avoiding spurious breaks in binned luminosity functions

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We show that using either the method of Page & Carrera or the well-known $1/V_a$ method to construct the binned luminosity function (LF) of a flux limited sample of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) can produce an artificial flattening (or steepening in the case of negative evolution) of the binned LF for bins intersected by the flux cutoff of the sample. This effect is more pronounced for samples with steep and strongly evolving parent LFs but is still present even for non-evolving LFs. As a result of this distortion of the true LF, fitting a model LF to binned data may lead to errors in the estimation of the parameters and may even prompt the erroneous use of broken power law functions. We compute the expected positions of apparent breaks in the binned LF. We show that these spurious breaks in the binned LFs can be avoided if the binning is done in the flux--redshift plane instead of the typically used luminosity--redshift plane. Binning in the flux--redshift plane can be used in conjunction with the binning in the luminosity--redshift plane to test for real breaks in the binned LFs and to identify the features that are the result of binning biases. We illustrate this effect for most typical forms of luminosity dependence and redshift evolution and show how the proposed method helps address this problem. We also apply this method to the MOJAVE AGN sample and show that it eliminates an apparent break in the binned LF.

description: We report efficient all-optical creation of an ultracold gas of alkaline-earth-metal dimers, $^{88}\rm{Sr}_2$, in their absolute ground state. Starting with weakly bound singlet molecules formed by narrow-line photoassociation in an optical lattice, followed by stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) via a singlet-dominant channel in the $(1)0_u^+$ excited potential, we prepare pure samples of more than 5500 molecules in $X^1Σ_g^+(v=0,J=0)$. We observe two-body collisional loss rates close to the universal limit for both the least bound and most bound vibrational states in $X^1Σ_g^+$. We demonstrate the enhancement of STIRAP efficiency in a magic-wavelength optical lattice where thermal decoherence is eliminated. Our results pave the way for the use of alkaline-earth-metal dimers for high-precision spectroscopy, and indicate favorable prospects for robust quantum state preparation of ultracold molecules involving closed-shell atoms, as well as molecule assembly in deep optical traps tuned to a magic wavelength.

description: Geometric frustration in quantum magnetism refers to that magnetic interactions on different bonds cannot be simultaneously minimized. The usual Cooper pairing systems favor the uniform distribution of the pairing phase among lattice sites without frustration. In contrast, we propose "frustrated Cooper pairing" in non-bipartite lattices which leads to frustrated supersolid states with non-uniform distributions of the Cooper pair phase and density. This exotic pairing state naturally occurs in the $p$-orbital band in optical lattices with ultra-cold spinless fermions. In the triangular lattice, it exhibits an unconventional supersolid state with the $f$-wave symmetry.

description: Ultrasound velocity measurements of cubic spinel GeCo$_2$O$_4$ in single crystal were performed for the investigation of shear and compression moduli. The shear moduli in the paramagnetic state reveal an absence of Jahn-Teller activity despite the presence of orbital degeneracy in the Co$^{2+}$ ions. Such a Jahn-Teller inactivity indicates that the intersite orbital-orbital interaction is much stronger than the Jahn-Teller coupling. The compression moduli in the paramagnetic state near the N$\acute{e}$el temperature $T_N$ reveal that the most relevant exchange path for the antiferromagnetic transition lies in the [111] direction. This exchange-path anisotropy is consistent with the antiferromagnetic structure with the wave vector $q \parallel$ [111], suggesting the presence of bond frustration due to competition among a direct ferromagnetic and several distant-neighbors antiferromagnetic interactions. In the JT-inactive condition, the bond frustration can be induced by geometrical orbital frustration of $t_{2g}$-$t_{2g}$ interaction between the Co$^{2+}$ ions which can be realized in the pyrochlore lattice of the high spin Co$^{2+}$ with $t_{2g}$-orbital degeneracy. In GeCo$_2$O$_4$, the tetragonal elongation below $T_N$ releases the orbital frustration by quenching the orbital degeneracy.

description: In this paper we present the updated physics sensitivity of DUNE in presence of a light sterile neutrino with both far and near detectors. In the previous studies, the sensitivities were obtained using the configuration of DUNE as described in the conceptual design report (CDR). In this article, we consider the configuration of DUNE as given in the technical design report (TDR) and study the capability of this experiment to constrain the sterile mixing parameters as well as its capability to measure the standard oscillation parameters in 3+1 scenario. Our results show that in 3+1 scenario, the sensitivity of DUNE to measure the mass hierarchy, octant and CP violation deteriorates if we only consider the far detector. However, a combined analysis of far and near detector improves the sensitivity.

The validity of citizen attitudes as conveyed to politicians and planners through participation and representation
Creators: name: McKeen, Kenneth James
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Information conveyed to city planners and politicians for use in decision making may not reflect the full range of opinions found in an urban population. People who convey the feelings of the Vancouver population - the participators - hold significantly different ideas about the relative importance of various urban issues than non- participators. People from different local areas of Vancouver also hold differing ideas about the importance of some urban issues. A reliable ten-variable scale of participation developed as part of the study was used to measure the level of participation for each of 779 Vancouver respondents and to determine the means of participation for each of twenty-two Vancouver Local Areas and Point Grey-U.B.C. in which the respondents lived. The comparative usefulness of participation and local neighbourhood areas as predictors of the perceived importance of thirty-five urban issues was tested. Both predictors are statistically significant, but with low prediction coefficients. The differences among local areas in level of participation and in "within area" range of participation have implications for civic administration and planning in Vancouver. A ward system of city government may facilitate an election of members to council which is more spatially representative yet equally efficient than the present at-large system. The existing local area planning system appears to be generally well suited for responding to differences among the local areas in both level and range of participation.

description: We demonstrate an on-chip Yb3+-doped lithium niobate (LN) microdisk laser. The intrinsic quality factors of the fabricated Yb3+-doped LN microdisk resonator are measured up to 3.79x10^5 at 976 nm wavelength and 1.1x10^6 at 1514 nm wavelength. The multi-mode laser emissions are obtained in a band from 1020 nm to 1070 nm pumped by 984 nm laser and with the low threshold of 103 μW, resulting in a slope efficiency of 0.53% at room temperature. Furthermore, the second-harmonic frequency of pump light and the sum-frequency of the pump light and laser emissions are both generated in the on-chip Yb3+-doped LN microdisk benefited from the strong \c{hi}(2) nonlinearity of LN. These microdisk lasers are expected to contribute to the high-density integration of LNOI-based photonic chip.

description: We discuss stationary and axisymmetric trans-magnetosonic outflows in the magnetosphere of a rotating black hole (BH). Ejected plasma from the plasma source located near the BH is accelerated far away to form a relativistic jet. In this study, the plasma acceleration efficiency and conversion of fluid energy from electromagnetic energy are considered by employing the trans-fast magnetosonic flow solution derived by Takahashi & Tomimatsu (2008). Considering the parameter dependence of magnetohydrodynamical flows, we search for the parameters of the trans-magnetosonic outflow solution to the recent M87 jet observations and obtain the angular velocity values of the magnetic field line and angular momentum of the outflow in the magnetized jet flow. Therefore, we estimate the locations of the outer light surface, Alfvén surface, and separation surface of the flow. We also discuss the electromagnetic energy flux from the rotating BH (i.e., the Blandford-Znajek process), which suggests that the energy extraction mechanism is effective for the M87 relativistic jet.

description: The Large-Sized Telescopes (LSTs) of Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) are designed for gamma-ray studies focusing on low energy threshold, high flux sensitivity, rapid telescope repositioning speed and a large field of view. Once the CTA array is complete, the LSTs will be dominating the CTA performance between 20 GeV and 150 GeV. During most of the CTA Observatory construction phase, however, the LSTs will be dominating the array performance until several TeVs. In this presentation we report on the status of the LST-1 telescope inaugurated in La Palma, Canary islands, Spain in 2018. We show the progress of the telescope commissioning, compare the expectations with the achieved performance, and give a glance of the first physics results.

description: Conformal technicolor is a paradigm for new physics at LHC that may solve the problems of strong electroweak symmetry breaking for quark masses and precision electroweak data. We give explicit examples of conformal technicolor theories based on a QCD-like sector. We suggest a practical method to test the conformal dynamics of these theories on the lattice.

Cautiousness in adulthood and old age
Creators: name: Holliday, Stephen George
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The present study examined the question of age related cautiousness in decision making. Traditional approaches to the study of age-related patterns of choice behaviour and theoretical explanations of cautiousness in risky choice situations were evaluated. An alternate approach to the study of choice behaviour in different age groups, which emphasizes the role of outcome direction, probabilities, and payoff values was presented. Peoples' preference for completely predictable and probabilistically determined response options was assessed. The sample consisted of 12 men and 12 women in 4 age groups representing young (20-30), middle (35-45) and late (50-60) adulthood, and old age (65-75). The number of completely predictable options chosen by each subject across (1) all situations, (2) gain situations only, and (3) loss situations only were calculated. An analysis of variance performed on the total number of completely predictable options chosen indicated that people of all age groups chose equivalent numbers of certain options. There were no significant effects for age group, sex, nor the age x sex interaction. A repeated measures analysis of variance performed on subjects' scores in gain and loss situations indicated that people chose more completely predictable options in gain than in loss situations. The effects of age group and sex were not significant, nor were the two and three way interactions. A second set of analyses were undertaken to relate subjects' choices to (1) the outcome direction of the situations, and (2) the expected payoff, or outcome, of the situations. Expected payoff was found to be a better predictor of choice behaviour than was outcome direction. The implications of these findings for theories of age-related cautiousness are discussed. It is suggested that theories of adult choice behaviour may have to be modified to account for the impact of situational variables on peoples' choice behaviour.
