Gamma-Ray Burst Dust Echoes Revisited: Expectations at Early Times

description: Gamma-ray burst (GRB) dust echoes were first proposed as an alternative explanation for the supernova-like (SN-like) components to the afterglows of GRB 980326 and GRB 970228. However, the spectroscopic identification of Type Ic SN 2003dh associated with GRB 030329, as well as the identification of SN-like components to the afterglows of other GRBs, appears to have confirmed the GRB/SN paradigm. However, the likely progenitors of Type Ic SNe are Wolf-Rayet WC stars, and late-type WC stars have been observed to be surrounded by dust, at a distance of 10^14 -- 10^15 cm from the star. Consequently, we revisit the possibility of GRB dust echoes, not on a timescale of weeks after the burst but on a timescale of minutes to hours. We find that if the optical flash is sufficiently bright and the jet sufficiently wide, GRB afterglows may be accompanied by chromatic variations on this timescale. From these signatures, such model parameters as the inner radius of the dust distribution, the initial opening angle of the jet, etc., may be deduced. With rapid and regular localizations of GRBs by HETE-2, Integral, and now Swift, and new and improved robotic telescope systems, these early-time GRB dust echoes may soon be detected. We describe one such robotic telescope system, called PROMPT, that the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is building at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in greater detail.

description: Objective: Self-harm is an important public health issue in the UK. Young people who self-harm frequently feel misunderstood, and unable to access help. Improving understanding is key to informing the development and delivery of effective treatments and services. Methods: In this qualitative study, we interviewed nine adolescent girls (13–17 years old) with recurrent self-harm, recruited from NHS specialist child and adolescent mental health services. Data were analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Results: Findings revealed that self-harm is experienced as powerful mental and physical urges, sated only by self-harming, suggesting that self-harm could be considered a compulsive rather than impulsive disorder, representing a new perspective on the behaviour. Five themes emerged: emotion regulation; an addictive urge; self-harm to survive; interpersonal triggers; interpersonal relationships, not mechanical distractors, reduce self-harm. Conclusions: This study provides further evidence that non-suicidal self-injury may be engaged in to reduce suicidal risk. Seeking the company of helpful friends or family members may reduce the urge to self-harm. Repetitive self-harm may be a compulsive behaviour.

description: We study the evolution of entanglement wedge cross section (EWCS) in the Vaidya geometry describing a thin shell of null matter collapsing into the AdS vacuum to form a black brane. In the holographic context, it is proposed that this quantity is dual to different information measures including entanglement of purification, reflected entropy, odd entropy and logarithmic negativity. In 2+1 dimensions, we present a combination of numerical and analytic results on the evolution and scaling of EWCS for strip shaped boundary subregions after a thermal quench. In the limit of large subregions, we find that the time evolution of EWCS is characterized by three different scaling regimes: an early time quadratic growth, an intermediate linear growth and a late time saturation. Further, in 3+1 dimensions, we examine the scaling behavior by considering thermal and electromagnetic quenches. In the case of a thermal quench, our numerical analysis supply results similar to observations made for the lower dimension. On the other hand, for electromagnetic quenches at zero temperature, an interesting feature is a departure from the linear behavior of the evolution to logarithmic growth.

description: Az élelmiszeripar egyik meghatározó szegmense az édességipar, legkedveltebb termékei közé tartozik a csokoládé, mely a világon szinte bárhol fellelhető, s a mindennapok elengedhetetlen részét képezi. Napjainkban a fogyasztói trendek folyamatosan változnak, az utóbbi pár évben megfigyelhető, hogy egyre nagyobb szerepet kapnak a kézműves alapanyagokból készült, magasabb minőségű, adalékanyagoktól, tartósítószertől és növényi zsiradéktól mentes, egészségesebb termékek, így a kézműves csokoládé. Fő célkitűzésem a kézműves csokoládéágazaton belül a bonbon előállítás jövedelemtermelő képességének a meghatározása. Vizsgálataim során egyaránt végeztem primer és szekunder adat- és információgyűjtést. A primer adatgyűjtés lefolytatása során ellátogattam 4 különböző hazai bonbonkészítő műhelybe, ahol a termelésre vonatkozó főbb adatokat (pl. technológia jellemzői, fajlagos ráfordítások, termelési költségek, hozamok) gyűjtöttem be. Kutatási eredményeim alapján megállapítható, hogy a kézműves bonbongyártás relatíve költségigényes tevékenység, melynek oka a jelentős alapanyag- és a magas hozzáadott értéket képviselő kézi munka ráfordítás mértéke. -------------------------------------------- One of the main segments of food industry is sweet industry, we could say it’s favourite product is chocolate, which can be found all across the world. It belongs to our daily life. Nowadays the consumer trends are changing continuously. In recent years it is seen that there is an increasing role of handmade ingredients, higher quality, as well as it is free of preservatives, additives, and plant based oils, therefore healthier products getting more attention like craftsman chocolate. The main objective of the articla is to identify the technology and costs of handmade chocolate bonbons. During my studies I’ve done primer and seconder data and information collecting based on national and international bibliography. During the primer data collection I have visited 4 different national bonbon manufactures, where I gathered the most important information about the production, such as main characteristics of technology, cost of production, yield, and inputs. Based on my research results, it can be stated that the manufacturing of handmade bonbons it’s an expensive business, and the reason of this is the high cost price of ingredients, and the high added value of manual work.

description: Given a C*-algebra B, a closed *-subalgebra A contained in B, and a partial isometry S in B which "interacts" with A in the sense that S*aS = H(a)S*S and SaS* = V(a)SS*, where V and H are positive linear operators on A, we derive a few properties which V and H are forced to satisfy. Removing B and S from the picture we define an "interaction" as being a pair of maps (V,H) satisfying the derived properties. Starting with an abstract interaction (V,H) over a C*-algebra A we construct a C*-algebra B containing A and a partial isometry S whose "interaction" with A follows the above rules. We then discuss the possibility of constructing a "covariance algebra" from an interaction. This turns out to require a generalization of the notion of correspondences (also known as Pimsner bimodules) which we call a "generalized correspondence". Such an object should be seen as an usual correspondence, except that the inner-products need not lie in the coefficient algebra. The covariance algebra is then defined using a natural generalization of Pimsner's construction of the celebrated Cuntz-Pimsner algebras.

description: In the present paper we have discussed the mechanics of incompressible test bodies moving in Riemannian spaces with non-trivial curvature tensors. For Hamilton's equations of motion the solutions have been obtained in the parametrical form and the special case of the purely gyroscopic motion on the sphere has been discussed. For the geodetic case when the potential is equal to zero the comparison between the geodetic and geodesic solutions have been done and illustrated in the case of a particular choice of the constants of motion of the problem. The obtained results could be applied, among others, in geophysical problems, e.g., for description of the motion of a drop of fat or a spot of oil on the surface of the ocean (e.g., produced during some "ecological disaster") or the motion of continental plates, or generally in biomechanical problems, e.g., for description of the motion of objects with internal structure on different curved two-dimensional surfaces (e.g., transport of proteins along the curved biological membranes).

Cultivating community : a story of cross-cultural learning and empowerment in the downtown eastside of Vancouver
Creators: name: Petersen, Marisol
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: In multicultural cities such as Vancouver, high proportions of inner city residents and immigrants (including refugees, domestic care workers, and citizens for whom English is a foreign language) are, for various reasons, socially, economically, and politically excluded from the mainstream. In attempting to narrow the divide that separates those on the "outside" from those on the "inside" of society, the planning profession has become increasingly concerned with the idea of planning with, as opposed to for, marginalized individuals. This approach is most often referred to as "community-based" or "empowerment" planning. This thesis explores the role conversational English as a Second Language (ESL) can play in the empowerment planning process by analyzing the "ESL Summer Pilot Project" as a case study. Collaboratively planned and implemented with residents of the Downtown Eastside (DTES) who patronize the USC Learning Exchange, the story/case study reveals how a total of 19 DTES residents helped nearly 70 immigrants practice what they need to effectively integrate into society; that is a cultural understanding of the who, what, where, when, and most importantly, how questions relating to life in Canada, and the means to ask those questions conversational English. The story also reveals how, by taking a leadership role, these DTES residents were able to increase their sense of self-confidence, self-esteem, and capacity to make a difference in their own lives and communities. After situating the ESL Summer Pilot Project story in the empowerment planning literature, I based my analysis on my own observations and on those of the nine "ESL facilitators" who participated in the focus groups I led after the pilot had concluded in the summer of 2004. What I found was that the empowerment planning process involves, more than anything, the development of mutually trusting, mindful, and caring "planner-participant" relationships and eventually, "participant-participant" relationships, that rely on the continued use of cross-cultural dialogue (or, in this case, conversational ESL) in order to link people’s knowledge and love to action.

description: The discovery of superconductivity in a $d^{9-δ}$ nickelate has inspired disparate theoretical perspectives regarding the essential physics of this class of materials. A key issue is the magnitude of the magnetic superexchange, which relates to whether cuprate-like high-temperature nickelate superconductivity could be realized. We address this question using Ni L-edge and O K-edge spectroscopy of the reduced trilayer nickelate $d^{9-1/3}$ La4Ni3O8 and associated theoretical modeling. A magnon energy scale of ~80 meV resulting from a nearest-neighbor magnetic exchange of $J = 69(4)4$ meV is observed, proving that $d^{9-δ}$ nickelates can host a large superexchange. This value, along with that of the Ni-O hybridization estimated from our O K-edge data, implies that trilayer nickelates represent an intermediate case between the infinite-layer nickelates and the cuprates, and suggests that they represent a promising route towards higher-temperature nickelate superconductivity.

description: Este estudo pretende estimar os efeitos de possíveis resultados das negociações da rodada de Doha nas cinco regiões brasileiras usando um modelo de equilíbrio geral. As simulações sugerem um aumento do bem-estar mundial equivalente a USD 826 bilhões se as tarifas de importação e subsídios a exportação desaparecem inteiramente em todo mundo, com um aumento de USD 19 bilhões no Brasil. Porém, as simulações mostram que os ganhos beneficiam principalmente as regiões sudeste e sul. Enquanto simulações sem mobilidade de fatores primários dentro do Brasil mostram aumentos no bem-estar e no PIB em todas as regiões brasileiras, as simulações com livre mobilidade dos fatores trabalho e capital no Brasil sugerem uma redução no bem-estar nas regiões centroeste, norte e nordeste, e uma redução no PIB das regiões centroeste e norte.

description: A time-discretization that preserves the super-integrability of the Calogero model is obtained by application of the integrable time-discretization of the harmonic oscillator to the projection method for the Calogero model with continuous time. In particular, the difference equations of motion, which provide an explicit scheme for time-integration, are explicitly presented for the two-body case. Numerical results exhibit that the scheme conserves all the$(=3)$ conserved quantities of the (two-body) Calogero model with a precision of the machine epsilon times the number of iterations.

description: The paper tackles the problem of prospects versus threats resulting from the potential TTIP agreement between European Union and the U.S.A. In the first part of the article the possible benefits for the EU exporters of diary, meat products, wine, sugar and olives are presented. Those benefits seem to be rather illusory, even when the non-tariff barriers are limited. On the other hand many EU markets would suffer from serious market disruption because of American exports. This would affect beef, cereals, poultry, isoglucose and biofuels. The author also points out the differences in food safety standards, levels of support, which underpins the protection of the EU consumers and competitiveness of producers, should the TTIP agreement be implemented.
Self-organization in turbulence as a route to order in plasma and fluids

description: Transitions from turbulence to order are studied experimentally in thin fluid layers and magnetically confined toroidal plasma. It is shown that turbulence self-organizes through the mechanism of spectral condensation. The spectral redistribution of the turbulent energy leads to the reduction in the turbulence level, generation of coherent flow, reduction in the particle diffusion and increase in the system's energy. The higher order state is sustained via the nonlocal spectral coupling of the linearly unstable spectral range to the large-scale mean flow. The similarity of self-organization in two-dimensional fluids and low-to-high confinement transitions in plasma suggests the universality of the mechanism.

Quality assurance and dental hygiene care in British Columbia
Creators: name: Bilawka, Ebony
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Quality assurance and quality management are current topics in the field of health care. Quality assurance is necessary to ensure consumers of health care receive ethical, effective, efficient, competent care. Many methodologies drive quality assurance with no one method clearly more beneficial than the next. An extensive review of the literature demonstrated that quality assurance, as a concept, has been evolving to adapt to the ever-changing needs of the health care field. However, information is lacking in the effectiveness, awareness, and suitability of quality assurance mechanisms in dental hygiene. This cross sectional descriptive study was conducted to explore the perceptions that British Columbia dental hygienists have about quality assurance, their perceptions on the use of the College of Dental Hygienists of British Columbia practice standards as a quality assurance tool, and their perceptions about the degree to which they are able to practice according to these standards. Study participants were also asked about any potential barriers that prevent them from practicing according to the standards. A total of 336 self-administered questionnaires were mailed to dental hygienists currently registered as a "full registrant" and practicing in British Columbia. Of the 126 questionnaires that were returned (37% response rate), 108 met the inclusion criteria for the study. The findings show that the majority of dental hygienists who responded to this questionnaire perceive that they are practicing in accordance with the standards all the time (always) or almost all the time (usually). This study also sought to explore the relationship between geographical location and the dental hygienist's perceptions on adherence to the standards. This study showed that there was no appreciable link between these variables. It was postulated that the year a dental hygienist graduated may affect how he/she perceived his/her practice of dental hygiene in accordance with the standards. The results of the cross-tabulation using the Spearman's Rank Correlation demonstrated a small, statistically, significant negative association between these two variables. This means that the longer a dental hygienist has been practicing, the less he/she perceives that he/she is practicing according to the standards. This study has revealed some introductory information on how dental hygienists in the province of British Columbia view quality assurance and the use of practice standards as a quality assurance tool.

description: Rural development is usually equated with local development, i.e. comprehensive, long-term and multifariously conditioned evolutionary process of positive and desired quantitative and qualitative changes that are cumulatively manifested in better efficiency and productivity of economic operators and institutions and usability obtained by households. This process can be politically explained, modelled and controlled by reference to the traditional paradigm, the new rural development paradigm and recently also to the concept of cohesion policy in rural areas (Kierunki przeobrażeń..., 2015). It is difficult to find basic fiscal concepts and categories among the economic, social, environmental, political, institutional and cultural determinants. Whereas, for instance, taxes and other public levies, subsidies and grant-in-aid have a very strong effect on the financial potential of legal persons representing areas (e.g. gminas), production and cost functions, and development possibilities of companies and prosperity and life quality of rural residents. In this context, the basic aim of the paper is filling in the cognitive gap and extension of the political toolkit for controlling rural development. This was done by referring to the concept of fiscal federalism, approximating, e.g. the arguments for fiscal decentralisation and centralisation, mechanisms and effects of fiscal and interregional externalities along with instruments of their internalisation, to finally tackle the problem of optimisation of the size of local communities.

description: Development of various forms of agricultural activities in urban areas in developed countries is becoming increasingly important. This is due to a very high intensity of urbanisation and suburbanisation processes. The owners of farms located in areas of direct impact cities operate in a challenging market, where strong completion for land, local regulations on land development and planning often significantly hinder development and even maintaining agricultural production. Thus, to increase the chances of survival and development, managers of the holdings must apply business model adequate to local conditions. The aim of this study was the characteristics of the different business models on the example of 20 urban farms located in the Ruhr and Upper Silesia Metropolis. Results demonstrated that, in principle, there are 3 main business models, i.e. diversification, specialisation and differentiation. The choice of a particular business model is derived from the local natural and cultural resources, owned land and capital, but also it is very dependent on knowledge and expertise of farm managers.

description: The Common Agricultural Policy (hereinafter – CAP) direct payment scheme has contributed to structural change in Lithuanian agriculture. In particular, it has influenced farmers’ behaviour by making them reconsider their participation in agricultural production, leading to farm exits or reorientation towards production of cereal. The problem of the research: in order to assess if Single Area Payment Scheme worked for sustainable development of agriculture in Lithuania, the extent to which the CAP 2004-2013 direct payment scheme has contributed to the increase/reduction of viability and economic attractiveness of different types of farming in Lithuania is examined. The objective of the research is to carry out selection of indicators that characterize the economic attractiveness of different types of farming and to apply these selected indicators for assessing the impact of CAP 2004-2013 direct payment scheme in Lithuania.

description: The paper deals with the problem of young farmers in Poland at the background of the situation in the European Union presented from the perspective of theory, their role in the national and European agriculture, support by the Common Agricultural Policy and the national agricultural policy, and forms and effects of support. The paper is based on literature reviews, the EU and national legal documents, trade and statistical information. The key effects of the paper refer to the problem of defining young farmers, determining the form and scope of aid provided and characteristics, grounds and effects of farming by this group of farmers in Poland. A vital cognitive element is analysis of applications submitted by young farmers and results of their consideration by national institutions and verification of awarded aid and payments. The main conclusion is that it is necessary to consider and solve the problems of young farmers in connection with other socio-economic problems of rural areas, including the problem of old people.

Using a slave-boson mean-field approximation, we find that for $f^2$ configurations two or three quasiparticle bands are formed near the Fermi level depending on the number of the relevant $f^1$ orbitals in the $f^2$ crystal field ground state. The inter-orbital correlations characterizing the crystal field ground state closely reflect in inter-band residual interactions among quasiparticles. Particularly in the case of a singlet crystal field ground state, resulting residual antiferromagnetic exchange interactions among the quasiparticles lead to an anomalous suppression of the quasiparticle contribution of the spin susceptibility, even though the quasiparticle mass is strongly enhanced.

description: Information technologies enable programmers and engineers to design and synthesize systems of startling complexity that nonetheless behave as intended. This mastery of complexity is made possible by a hierarchy of formal abstractions that span from high-level programming languages down to low-level implementation specifications, with rigorous connections between the levels. DNA nanotechnology presents us with a new molecular information technology whose potential has not yet been fully unlocked in this way. Developing an effective hierarchy of abstractions may be critical for increasing the complexity of programmable DNA systems. Here, we build on prior practice to provide a new formalization of ‘domain-level’ representations of DNA strand displacement systems that has a natural connection to nucleic acid biophysics while still being suitable for formal analysis. Enumeration of unimolecular and bimolecular reactions provides a semantics for programmable molecular interactions, with kinetics given by an approximate biophysical model. Reaction condensation provides a tractable simplification of the detailed reactions that respects overall kinetic properties. The applicability and accuracy of the model is evaluated across a wide range of engineered DNA strand displacement systems. Thus, our work can serve as an interface between lower-level DNA models that operate at the nucleotide sequence level, and high-level chemical reaction network models that operate at the level of interactions between abstract species.

description: H1517+656 is an unusual source, even for a BL Lac object. It is one of the most luminous BL Lacs known, with extreme emission properties at radio, optical, and X-ray frequencies. Furthermore, in our WFPC2 snapshot survey we discovered a series of peculiar arcs describing a 2.4 arcsec radius ring surrounding the source. This paper describes follow-up observations with additional WFPC2 bands and the STIS longpass filter, which have revealed this structure to be the remnants of a very recent galaxy merger. Population synthesis modelling has shown that regions of the arcs have stellar populations with age < 20 Myrs. Additionally, the circularity of the arcs indicates that the plane of the collision and hence accretion is very close to the plane of the sky. Given that BL Lac jets are thought to be aligned with the line of sight, this observation may provide a direct link between the transfer of angular momentum in an interaction and the generation of a radio source.

description: We consider a spin-fermion model consisting of free electrons coupled to classical spins, where the latter are embedded in a quasi one-dimensional superlattice structure consisting of spin blocks separated by spinless buffers. Using a spiral ansatz for the spins, we study the effect of the electron mediated Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY) interaction on the $T=0$ ground state of the system. We find that the RKKY interaction can lead to ferromagnetic, antiferromagnetic, or intermediate spiral phases for different system parameters. When the width is much larger than the length of the individual blocks, the spiral phases are suppressed, and the ground state oscillates between ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic order as the size of the buffer regions is varied. This is accompanied by a corresponding oscillation in the Drude weight reflecting an increased conductivity in the ferromagnetic state compared to the antiferromagnetic one. These results are reminiscent of classic giant magnetoresistance phenomena observed in a similar geometry of thin, sandwiched magnetic and non-magnetic layers. Our analysis provides a robust framework for understanding the role of the RKKY interaction on the ground state order and corresponding transport properties of such systems, extending beyond the conventional perturbative regime.

description: The objective is to determine the financial implications of the introduction of the lump sum from revenues in agricultural farms. Concepts were proposed based on modeling-simulation of the effects of the introduction of a lump sum of the revenue in individual farms depending on their cropland area, the type of the agricultural and economic strength. The research period covers the years 2004-2009. The tax burden on the agricultural farms with the revenue lump sum was disadvantageous in all described criteria. It might be caused by the fact that in this form of taxation is not possible to decrease the costs of activities, which in the case of agricultural activity are relatively high.

L & M band infrared studies of V4332 Sagittarii - detection of the water-ice absorption band at 3.05 microns and the CO fundamental band in emission

description: L and M band observations of the nova-like variable V4332 Sgr are presented. Two significant results are obtained viz. the unusual detection of water ice at 3.05 microns and the fundamental band of 12CO at 4.67 microns in emission. The ice feature is a first detection in a nova-like variable while the CO emission is rarely seen in novae. These results, when considered together with other existing data, imply that V4332 Sgr could be a young object surrounded by a circumstellar disc containing gas, dust and ice. The reason for a nova-like outburst to occur in such a system is unclear. But since planets are believed to form in such disks, it appears plausible that the enigmatic outburst of V4332 Sgr could be due to a planetary infall. We also give a more reliable estimate for an epoch of dust formation around V4332 Sgr which appears to have taken place rather late in 1999 - nearly five years after its outburst.

description: We present a numerical method to plot the root-locus of Single-Input-Single-Output (SISO) dead-time systems on a given right half-plane up to a predefined controller gain. We compute the starting and intersection points of root-locus inside the region and we obtain the root-loci of each root based on a predictor-corrector type continuation method. The method is effective for high-order SISO dead-time systems.

description: On the ground of the Central Statistical Office (GUS) data, values of investment outlays in the fields of buildings and structures, machinery and tools as well as transport equipment in agriculture have been evaluated for the period of 1995-2013. The method for converting values of the values of these outlays from current to constant prices of 1995 has been presented. In 2013 value of investments in Polish agriculture (in constant prices) was in a case of buildings and structures by 107.9%, machinery and tools – by 100.5%, and transport equipment – by 98.3% higher than in 1995. Total investments in the field of technical means (building and structures, machinery and transport equipment) increased during this period by 103.0%. Correlations between these inputs and the global production, gross value added, final and market production have been described.

description: As part of the continuing effort at Steelcase to introduce environmental product innovations, the University of Michigan Center for Sustainable Systems has conducted a series of life cycle assessment (LCA) demonstration projects. These projects showcase the methods, tools, and results application of LCA for office furniture products. This document provides detailed methods, analysis and results relating to the most recent project – an LCA study of three products. The three products examined in this study were: 1. Siento chair with polished aluminum base, T-arms, and leather upholstery 2. AirTouch height adjustable table, 30”x 42” straight 3. Garland double pedestal desk with cherry finish, cove edge, left pedestal: file/file, right pedestal: box/box/file In partnership with Steelcase engineers, the CSS team collected data on product composition, manufacturing processes, distribution and ultimate product disposal. This information was used to construct individual product models in the LCA modeling software SimaPro. The SimaPro model served to combine data from Steelcase engineers with information on materials production and standard processes, and ultimately to calculate LCA results. Results were compiled in six environmental impact categories: energy resource consumption, global warming potential, acidification potential, criteria pollutants, solid waste, and total material consumption. In addition, the individual product system results were considered on a per kg basis and normalized to inform observations on the relative importance of material selection verses total product weight. The figure below highlights the differences between the three product systems by showing the results per kg of finished product mass normalized on a scale from 0-1. The role of specific system parameters in the overall results were further investigated in a sensitivity analysis. Particleboard resin content and extruded aluminum recycling rate were found to be the most significant parameters in determining overall system performance. Steelcase continues to make significant progress in identifying new opportunities to reduce environmental impacts in both their products and facilities. The judicious use of life-cycle assessment will serve to further this goal while providing a scientifically sound, defensible basis for development of environmental product declarations. Hopefully, LCA will continue to bridge the design, engineering and marketing communities leading to products that inspire customers while reducing environmental impacts.
