An analytical model for the evolution of starless cores I: The constant-mass case

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We propose an analytical model for the quasistatic evolution of starless cores confined by a constant external pressure, assuming that cores are isothermal and obey a spherically-symmetric density distribution. We model core evolution for Plummer-like and Gaussian density distributions in the adiabatic and isothermal limits, assuming Larson-like dissipation of turbulence. We model the variation in the terms in the virial equation as a function of core characteristic radius, and determine whether cores are evolving toward virial equilibrium or gravitational collapse. We ignore accretion onto cores in the current study. We discuss the different behaviours predicted by the isothermal and adiabatic cases, and by our choice of index for the size-linewidth relation, and suggest a means of parameterising the magnetic energy term in the virial equation. We model the evolution of the set of cores observed by Pattle et al. (2015) in the L1688 region of Ophiuchus in the 'virial plane'. We find that not all virially-bound and pressure-confined cores will evolve to become gravitationally bound, with many instead contracting to virial equilibrium with their surroundings, and find an absence of gravitationally-dominated and virially-unbound cores. We hypothesise a 'starless core desert' in this quadrant of the virial plane, which may result from cores initially forming as pressure-confined objects. We conclude that a virially-bound and pressure-confined core will not necessarily evolve to become gravitationally bound, and thus cannot be considered prestellar. A core can only be definitively considered prestellar (collapsing to form an individual stellar system) if it is gravitationally unstable.

description: To complement its existing analysis of the bioenergy sector, the ETI wanted to find out more about current public opinion of bioenergy in the UK and the potential drivers behind those opinions. To do this the ETI developed a survey which was carried out by YouGov in 2015. An extended version of the survey was repeated in 2016. This Insights report draws conclusions from these surveys.

Bioenergy is currently the largest source of renewable energy in the UK and can play a significant and valuable role in the future UK energy system, helping reduce the cost of meeting the UK’s 2050 GHG emissions reduction targets by more than 1% of gross domestic product (GDP).

The results from both the 2015 and 2016 public perceptions of bioenergy surveys show that there is strong support for bioenergy to be generated in the UK from both biomass and waste. Our findings wouldsuggest that the majority of the public would accept a bioenergy sector that uses a mix of domestic and imported biomass, with a preference for domestic feedstocks to be used where possible.There is no strong preference for bioenergy being deployed at a particular scale or in a particular location, enabling the UK to look to deploy those technologies that most benefit a transition to a low-carbon energy system.

These findings suggest that building a bioenergy sector in the UK whilst retaining public backing, will require the UK to increase support for domestic supply chains as well as enabling sustainably sourced imported biomass to be used to meet demand. In building a larger UK biomass feedstock sector, targeted awareness raising of bioenergy and the wider benefits it can bring is likely to increase support for it in the UK. Finally, the UK should continue to identify optimal sites for deployment of bioenergy, taking into account suitable locations for biomass feedstock production.

description: Gasification with integrated syngas clean-up to remove undesirable components can be used to produce an “ultra-clean” syngas suitable for use in demanding and efficient applications including reciprocating engines, gas turbines, chemical synthesis processes (for example, to produce hydrogen, fuels or chemicals) and/or biological synthesis processes. It offers a number of benefits including:flexible in feedstock and outputs (heat, power, liquid and gaseous fuels, and chemicals)high efficiencies scalable to suit applications in typical UK towns and small cities, in particular at the sub 10 MWe scaleability to be combined with CCS to create “negative emissions” which ETI anticipates will be needed to deliver a cost-effective 2050 low carbon energy systemCurrently, however, the technology and commercial risks are too high for typical investors and developers. To accelerate the technology to the point where these risks are more acceptable, the ETI has recently announced that it is investing in the construction of a 1.5 MWe waste gasification demonstration project incorporating an engine fuelled by “ultra-clean”, tar-free syngas. This paper seeks to present why the ETI thinks this technology is important and how its research has mitigated many of the risks associated in driving this sector forward.

description: This is an abstract from the session entitled "“We the People”: Historical Cemetery Archaeology in Philadelphia" , at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Archaeological projects that involve or encounter human remains must navigate a multitude of ethical considerations. Several established ethical frameworks can guide archeological decision-making when working in such contexts. This paper addresses the 2017 excavation of the First Baptist Church of Philadelphia (FBCP) cemetery. Now known as “The Arch Street Project”, what began as a salvage archaeological intervention has expanded into dozens of cross-disciplinary research projects, positively impacting students, post-docs, and faculty across nearly 20 institutions. Jeremy Bentham, considered the father of Utilitarianism, was a proponent of demystifying the human body and connecting science with the public. Utilitarianism speaks of reducing harm and maximizing Happiness, or well-being, for all affected individuals. This paper will examine how this ethical framework was applied to the challenges of the FBCP excavation and is one lens through which cemetery excavations could be viewed.

description: This paper theoretically analyzes a phenomenological stochastic model for bacterial growth. This model comprises cell division and the linear growth of cells, where growth rates and cell cycles are drawn from lognormal distributions. We find that the cell size is expressed as a sum of independent lognormal variables. We show numerically that the quality of the lognormal approximation greatly depends on the distributions of the growth rate and cell cycle. Furthermore, we show that actual parameters of the growth rate and cell cycle take values that give a good lognormal approximation; thus, the experimental cell-size distribution is in good agreement with a lognormal distribution.

description: This resource is an application for the Dissertation Fieldwork Grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation. Two species from different domestication centres – the Bactrian camel from central Asia and the Dromedary from Arabia – were deliberately brought together and bred to create new, more powerful, animals. Larger than both parents and double the strength of its contributory species, the hybrid camel was the world’s first engineered hybrid transportation. Creating the hybrid camel required ceremonial transfers of technological knowhow and revolutionized trade networks across Eurasia. Through these networks not only goods were quickly spread, but also traditions, languages and ideas, leading to unprecedented forms of cultural hybridisation. In effect, the hybridization of camels led to the hybridization of humanity. The emergence of camel hybridization is woefully under-researched. This project will develop new methods to explore the emergence of camel hybridization in Southwest Asia from an integrated human-animal studied perspective.

description: In a previous paper, we studied the interior solution of a collapsing body in a non-local theory of gravity super-renormalizable at the quantum level. We found that the classical singularity is replaced by a bounce, after which the body starts expanding. A black hole, strictly speaking, never forms. The gravitational collapse does not create an event horizon but only an apparent one for a finite time. In this paper, we solve the equations of motion assuming that the exterior solution is static. With such an assumption, we are able to reconstruct the solution in the whole spacetime, namely in both the exterior and interior regions. Now the gravitational collapse creates an event horizon in a finite comoving time, but the central singularity is approached in an infinite time. We argue that these black holes should be unstable, providing a link between the scenarios with and without black holes. Indeed, we find a non catastrophic ghost-instability of the metric in the exterior region. Interestingly, under certain conditions, the lifetime of our black holes exactly scales as the Hawking evaporation time.

description: This resource is an application for the Hunt Postdoctoral Fellowship from the Wenner-Gren Foundation. "Intimate Institutions: Psychiatry, Family, and the Rise of Biopolitical Paternalism in Contemporary China" examines families' involvement in the care and management of persons diagnosed with serious mental illnesses in China, especially during the recent mental health legal reform. Over the last three decades, most psychiatric inpatients in China have been hospitalized against their will, by their families. The first national Mental Health Law, effective since 2013, reinforces families' rights and responsibilities in psychiatric care. Using the language of paternalism, the law makes the family the primary unit to mediate liberty, wellbeing, and security in contemporary China. The book maps the workings of "biopolitical paternalism," a mode of governance that constructs mentally ill patients as subjects of perpetual risk management, that legitimizes the state's population management as paternalistic intervention, and that displaces the paternalistic responsibilities onto families. This biopolitical paternalism produces harm and ethical unease within families and aggravates health disparities across the mentally ill population. Yet it also creates new political potentials for caregivers. My analysis sheds light on families' complex involvement in state power and social transformations, on how the biopolitics of population governance interplay with intimate ethics of care, on paternalism as a mode of governance prevalent in the contemporary world, and on the entanglements of institutional arrangements and intimate relations in producing chronic shortfalls of healthcare provisions.

description: This resource is an application for the Hunt Postdoctoral Fellowship from the Wenner-Gren Foundation. Cash transfer programs are significant, world-making responses to global poverty, made all the more necessary in the time of Covid-19. There has been surprising consensus ? among Silicon Valley techies, World Bank bureaucrats, and lefty academics ? that cash transfers can right the wrongs of top-heavy and inappropriate development interventions by "just giving money to the poor." Cash transfers are assumed to be the simple, value-neutral distribution of money from governments to citizens via digital financial technologies. Through an ethnography of South Africa?s grant system, I demonstrate how cash transfers are not value-neutral at all, but encode enduring structures of racial capitalism. My book, "Bantustan Banking: Debt, Race and Welfare in South Africa," shows how cash transfers conscripted Black women ? who make up 85% of all recipients ? into regimes of debt at the very site of social welfare provision. Drawing upon three years of fieldwork with grantees ? waiting at paypoints, deciphering receipts, shopping for essentials, and visiting payday lenders ? I argue that South Africa?s cash transfer program became a financialized mechanism to adjudicate the deserving and undeserving poor.

The solution of proton wave function and neutron background distribution is found by the use of the extended Thomas-Fermi approach. The minimum of energy is obtained in the Wigner- Seitz approximation of spherically symmetric cell. The analysis of three different nuclear models suggests that the proton localization is likely to take place in the interior of neutron star.

description: We use magnetohydrodynamical simulations of converging warm neutral medium flows to analyse the formation and global evolution of magnetised and turbulent molecular clouds subject to supernova feedback from massive stars. We show that supernova feedback alone fails to disrupt entire, gravitationally bound, molecular clouds, but is able to disperse small--sized (~10 pc) regions on timescales of less than 1 Myr. Efficient radiative cooling of the supernova remnant as well as strong compression of the surrounding gas result in non-persistent energy and momentum input from the supernovae. However, if the time between subsequent supernovae is short and they are clustered, large hot bubbles form that disperse larger regions of the parental cloud. On longer timescales, supernova feedback increases the amount of gas with moderate temperatures (T~300-3000 K). Despite its inability to disrupt molecular clouds, supernova feedback leaves a strong imprint on the star formation process. We find an overall reduction of the star formation efficiency by a factor of 2 and of the star formation rate by roughly factors of 2-4.

description: This project looked at designing a supply chain solution to improve the energy efficiency of the vast majority of the 26 million UK homes which will still be in use by 2050.It looked to identify ways in which the refurbishment and retrofitting of existing residential properties can be accelerated by industrialising the processes of design, supply and implementation, while stimulating demand from householders by exploiting additional opportunities that come with extensive building refurbishment.The project developed a top-to-bottom process, using a method of analysing the most cost-effective package of measures suitable for a particular property, through to how these will be installed with the minimum disruption to the householder. This includes identifying the skills required of the people on the ground as well as the optimum material distribution networks to supply them with exactly what is required and when.

 This report is part of WP4.2. It presents the development of the framework of an adaptable and scalable supply chain to meet customers’ requirements for whole house retrofit for improved thermal efficiency.The findings to date are derived from workshops held with members of the retrofit industry.

description: This resource is an application for the Post PhD Research Grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation. How do we imagine the ideal state that we aspire to live in? I address this question in anthropological terms through a multi-sited ethnography of state restructuring in Nepal since 2006. In the wake of a decade-long civil conflict between Maoist and state forces in this erstwhile unitary Himalayan kingdom turned secular democratic federal republic of nearly 30 million, I transpose Victor Turner's long-standing 'invitation to investigators of ritual to focus their attention on the phenomena and processes of mid-transition' (1967: 110) to the political realm. Despite a 2006 Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) and 2008 Constituent Assembly elections, a new constitution has yet to be promulgated, making 2014 the eighth year of Nepal's 'mid-transition'. I ask: In this temporally protracted liminal state, how do discourses and practices of restructuring articulated at the national and global level work to produce affective experiences of transformation for ordinary citizens in a range of locales outside the political center of Kathmandu? How do these experiences of transformation shape the political consciousness and aspirations of individuals and collectivities? How are such aspirations expressed in discursive and material terms, and what do they tell us about the structural and functional dimensions of the imagined state of the future? Finally, how do such localized imaginaries of ideal state structure intersect with national and transnational visions of order as articulated by both Nepali and international institutional actors? I address these questions through a focus on the domains of citizenship, territory and religiosity as spaces within which imaginaries of the state's functions and structures in transition are revealed in both material and discursive terms.

description: IMMUNEPOTENT CRP (ICRP) is an immunotherapy that induces cell death in cancer cell lines. However, the molecular mechanisms of death are not completely elucidated. Here, we evaluated the implication of intracellular Ca2+ augmentation in the cell death induced by ICRP on T-ALL and breast cancer cell lines. Cell death induction and the molecular characteristics of cell death were evaluated in T-ALL and breast cancer cell lines by assessing autophagosome formation, ROS production, loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, ER stress and intracellular Ca2+ levels. We assessed the involvement of extracellular Ca2+, and the implication of the ER-receptors, IP3R and RyR, in the cell death induced by ICRP, by using an extracellular calcium chelator and pharmacological inhibitors. Our results show that ICRP increases intracellular Ca2+ levels as the first step of the cell death mechanism that provokes ROS production and loss of mitochondrial membrane potential. In addition, blocking the IP3 and ryanodine receptors inhibited ER-Ca2+ release, ROS production and ICRP-induced cell death. Taken together our results demonstrate that ICRP triggers intracellular Ca2+-increase leading to different regulated cell death modalities in T-ALL and breast cancer cell lines.

Reinforcement learning in continuous state- and action-space
Creators: name: Nichols, Barry
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2014

description: Reinforcement learning in the continuous state-space poses the problem of the inability to store the values of all state-action pairs in a lookup table, due to both storage limitations and the inability to visit all states sufficiently often to learn the correct values. This can be overcome with the use of function approximation techniques with generalisation capability, such as artificial neural networks, to store the value function. When this is applied we can select the optimal action by comparing the values of each possible action; however, when the action-space is continuous this is not possible. In this thesis we investigate methods to select the optimal action when artificial neural networks are used to approximate the value function, through the application of numerical optimization techniques. Although it has been stated in the literature that gradient-ascent methods can be applied to the action selection [47], it is also stated that solving this problem would be infeasible, and therefore, is claimed that it is necessary to utilise a second artificial neural network to approximate the policy function [21, 55]. The major contributions of this thesis include the investigation of the applicability of action selection by numerical optimization methods, including gradient-ascent along with other derivative-based and derivative-free numerical optimization methods,and the proposal of two novel algorithms which are based on the application of two alternative action selection methods: NM-SARSA [40] and NelderMead-SARSA. We empirically compare the proposed methods to state-of-the-art methods from the literature on three continuous state- and action-space control benchmark problems from the literature: minimum-time full swing-up of the Acrobot; Cart-Pole balancing problem; and a double pole variant. We also present novel results from the application of the existing direct policy search method genetic programming to the Acrobot benchmark problem [12, 14].

Politics of nationalism, federalism, and separatism: The case of Balochistan in Pakistan
Creators: name: Khan, Gulawar
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2014
Subjects: Pakistan, Balochistan, federalism, nationalism, separatism

description: This thesis is concerned with the principles of federalism and practice of federation in Pakistan, Baloch nation/nationalism and the politics of separatism. Since its inception, Pakistan adopted federalism as a system of government to manage a new country consisting of various ethno-national and linguistics groups. The purpose was to acknowledge diversity but discourage separatism. However, the history of Pakistan, including the creation of Bangladesh out of East Pakistan in 1971, shows its failure to fulfil this purpose of avoiding separatism. A key challenge faced by Pakistani federation for many years has been the conflict in its largest province of Balochistan. The conflict has multiple dimensions including a strong movement for separation of Baloch lands from Pakistan. This thesis investigates various phases of the Baloch conflict with Pakistani federation and analyses different strands of Baloch nationalism. It also explores the shifting power and relation of these strands – federalist and separatist - with the crises of federalism in Pakistan. It argues that the primary driver affecting Baloch nationalism is the failure of Pakistani federation to be genuinely federal. This thesis suggests that the Pakistan federation needs to revisit its constitution to make it more federal in a way wherein each ethno-national group feels the ownership of the country and can be convinced that its identity and language is protected and its land and resources utilised for welfare of the local inhabitants.

description: This resource is an application for the Dissertation Fieldwork Grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation. This proposal investigates people in northeastern Brazil who claim to have "indigenous blood" ("sangue de índio"), but do not classify themselves as Indigenous people. In the southeast of Piauí state (unlike other regions), no parts of the rural population claim Indigenous status or land rights, yet many people refer to their "indigenous blood." Preliminary data suggest that this refers to kinship ties with "real Indigenous peoples," continued family conviviality, and physical appearance. My project involves ethnographic research over a seven-month period in the town of Coronel José Dias to understand how the a category of rule ("índio") forged during colonial times is entangled in the processes of building kinship, and how the production of racialized families and bodies relates to official policies on race and indigeneity, merging scholarship on indigeneity and race with literature on kinship and blood. The findings will advance anthropological discussions on: 1) the limits of modern political categories for encoding cultural alterity; 2) the mutual construction of human beings, kinship, and race; and 3) an anthropology of blood, by critically incorporating contributions by Indigenous scholars on blood as a way of constructing belonging.

description: Some critical open problems of epistemic logics can be investigated in the framework of a quantum computational approach. The basic idea is to interpret sentences - like Alice knows that Bob does not understand that Pi is irrational - as pieces of quantum information (generally represented by density operators of convenient Hilbert spaces). Logical epistemic operators (to understand, to know ...) are dealt with as (generally irreversible) quantum operations, which are, in a sense, similar to measurement-procedures. This approach permits us to model some characteristic epistemic processes, that concern both human and artificial intelligence. For instance, the operation of \memorizing and retrieving information" can be formally represented, in this framework, by using a quantum teleportation phenomenon.
