description: Matter-wave interferometry has been largely studied in the last few years. Usually, the main problem in the analysis of the diffraction experiments is to establish the causes for the loss of coherence observed in the interference pattern. In this work, we use different type of environmental couplings to model a two slit diffraction experiment with massive particles. For each model, we study the effects of decoherence on the interference pattern and define a visibility function that measures the loss of contrast of the interference fringes on a distant screen. Finally, we apply our results to the experimental reported data on massive particles $C_{70}$.

Το (περιορισμένο) ευθύ γινόμενο των αβελιανών ομάδων, που είναι ίσες με το πηλίκο δύο διαδοχικών όρων της κατώτερης κεντρικής σειράς της G, αποτελεί την συσχετιζόμενη Lie άλγεβρα της G, την οποία συμβολίζουμε με gr(G) . Έστω ότι η ομάδα G είναι πεπερασμένα παριστώμενη. Ένα κεντρικό πρόβλημα στη Θεωρία των Lie αλγεβρών είναι η περιγραφή της Lie άλγεβρας gr(G). Με άλλα λόγια, η περιγραφή μίας παράστασης της gr(G) με τη βοήθεια της παράστασης της G. Σε αυτή την διατριβή, περιγράφουμε την συσχετιζόμενη Lie άλγεβρα δύο ομάδων, μίας ομάδας τύπου Formanek-Procesi και της McCool ομάδας M3 Επιπλέον, δείχνουμε ότι και στις δύο περιπτώσεις, οι προαναφερθείσες Lie άλγεβρες συνδέονται με την Johnson Lie άλγεβρα των IA-αυτομορφισμών της ελεύθερης ομάδας πεπερασμένης βαθμίδας.
description: Let G be a group. The (restricted) direct sum of the abelian groups, which are equal to the quotient of two consequent terms of the lower central series of G, is the associated Lie algebra of G, and is noted by gr(G). Let G be a finitely presented group. Then, one of the main problems in the theory of Lie algebras is the description of gr(G). In other words, how one can obtain a presentation for gr(G) by use of G. In the present thesis, our main aim is the description of the associated Lie algebras of two groups a Formanek-Procesi type group and the McCool group M3. Also in both cases, we show that there is a connection between their associated Lie algebras and the Johnson Lie algebra of the IA-automorphisms of the free group with finite rank.

description: Το αντικείμενο της διατριβής είναι η μελέτη της παρουσίας της βιαιότητας και του θανάτου στη ζωή και στην τέχνη του Μικελάντζελο Μερίζι ντα Καραβάτζο και η έρευνα της ενδεχόμενης σχέσης μεταξύ τους. Για τον σκοπό αυτό επιλέχθηκαν οι πίνακές του που αναπαριστούν ή συμβολίζουν τον θάνατο και έγινε η περιγραφή και η ανάλυσή τους. Συγκεκριμένα, η έρευνα εστιάζει σε έργα με στοιχεία memento mori, vanitas και νεκρών φύσεων στα οποία ο θάνατος υποδηλώνεται συμβολικά και σε εκείνα με θέματα τον αποκεφαλισμό και τα μαρτύρια αγίων στα οποία η βία και ο θάνατος αποδίδονται ως αναπαράσταση. Σχετικά με τη βία στη ζωή του ζωγράφου, παρουσιάστηκε αναλυτικά η εγκληματικότητά του, όπως αυτή προκύπτει από τα αστυνομικά αρχεία και κρίθηκε σε σχέση με τη βιαιότητα που επικρατούσε στην κοινωνία στην οποία έζησε. Επίσης παρουσιάστηκαν το καλλιτεχνικό πλαίσιο της εποχής του και οι προσταγές της Αντιμεταρρύθμισης σχετικά με την τέχνη. Τέλος, διαπιστώθηκε πως τα θέματα της βίας και του θανάτου εμφανίζονται στη συντριπτική πλειοψηφία των πινάκων του Μερίζι και πως η ζωή του σημαδεύτηκε από βίαια και μοιραία γεγονότα, ωστόσο δεν είναι σκόπιμη η συσχέτιση της βίας που παρατηρείται στην τέχνη του με εκείνη του χαρακτήρα του, δεδομένου ότι σημαντικός αριθμός έργων του ήταν παραγγελίες πατρόνων και η καλλιτεχνική του παραγωγή επηρεάστηκε από το κλίμα της Αντιμεταρρύθμισης που απαιτούσε έργα σφαγών και μαρτυρίων.
description: The subject of this thesis is the study of the presence of violence and death in the life and the art of Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio and the research of the possible relation between them. For this aim, were selected his paintings which are representing or symbolizing death and they were described and analyzed. In particular, the research focuses on artworks with elements of memento mori, vanitas and still life in which death appears as a symbol and in those with the subjects of decapitation and martyrdom of saints in which violence and death are appearing as a representation. With regard to the violence in the painter’s life, his criminality, as evidenced by the police records, is presented in detail and judged compared to the violence of the society in which he lived. Furthermore, the artistic context of his time and the rules of the Counter-Reformation on art are presented. In conclusion, it was ascertained that the subjects of violence and death are present in the overwhelming majority of Merisi’s paintings and that his life was characterized by violent and fatal events, but it is inappropriate to associate the violence in his art with that of his character because a significant number of his paintings were patrons’ orders and his artistic production was influenced by the Counter-Reformation that required artworks with slaughter and martyrdom.

description: Στόχος της εργασίας είναι η κατανόηση των κεντρικών θεματικών του έργου του Κορνήλιου Καστοριάδη, ο οποίος στη βάση της αυτονομίας συνθέτει μία πολιτική και φιλοσοφική σκέψη με γνώμονα την ανθρώπινη χειραφέτηση και το συλλογικό ριζικό μετασχηματισμό της κοινωνίας, κάνοντας, παράλληλα, ιδιόρρυθμη χρήση της φαντασίας από το χώρο της ψυχανάλυσης, την οποία τοποθετεί στην υπηρεσία της αυτονομίας. Με τη διαφυγή του στη φαντασία, στην οποία ο Καστοριάδης αποδίδει δημιουργική δύναμη και ενεργό ρόλο στην κατασκευή της πραγματικότητας, αποκλείει σε μεγάλο βαθμό τη χρήση της λογικής. Έτσι, η αυτοθέσμιση της κοινωνίας κατανοείται ως δημιούργημα του κοινωνικού φαντασιακού και όχι ως αποτέλεσμα της έλλογης ανθρώπινης δραστηριότητας, στάση η οποία γεννά ένα δημιουργικό διάλογο αναφορικά με τα ζητήματα διευθέτησης του κοινωνικού βίου και τη θεμελίωση της θέσμισης στη βάση της αδιαμεσολάβητης από κάθε έννοια λογικής, καστοριαδικής αυτονομίας.
description: The purpose of this paper is the comprehension of the central themes of Cornelius Castoriadis’ oeuvre who, on the matter of autonomy, composes a political and philosophical thought driven by the ideas of human emancipation and the collective radical transformation of society, while in parallel borrowing phantasy from the field of psychoanalysis and using it to serve autonomy. With this escape to phantasy, to which Castoriadis attributes creative power and assigns an active role in the construction of reality, he is significantly excluding the use of logic. And so, the self-institution of society is comprehended as a creation of the social imaginary and not as result of logical human activity, an attitude that spawns a creative dialogue on subjects concerning social organization and the founding of institution based in, free of every sense of logic, castoriadic autonomy.
A DC-DC converter suitable for controlling a photovoltaic powered pumping system

description: A photovoltaic powered pumping system offers an attractive means of supplying fresh water in remote areas not serviced by a utility grid. In order to extract the maximum amount of energy from the solar panels, it is necessary to match the characteristics of the photovoltaic array to the DC motor which drives a pump. A one quadrant DC-DC converter is capable of adjusting the effective load impedance for maximum power transfer under most lighting conditions. Three styles of DC-DC converters used to control the pumping system are described and compared. The voltage tracking style of converter fixes the array voltage at a level considered optimum. The power tracking converter measures, and attempts to maximize, the output power of the photovoltaic array. The microprocessor based power tracking, voltage tracking converter toggles between the two methods of control. Experimental results are included.

description: Invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) is a severe disease caused by various Neisseria meningitidis serogroups that represents a serious public health problem worldwide. In Italy, serogroups B and C are the major causes of IMD. On 14 January 2013, the European Medicines Agency authorized the use of the first vaccine available to protect against meningococcal serogroup B (4CMenB).

            The aim of this study was to assess the IMD epidemiology knowledge and 4CMenB vaccine attitudes of healthcare workers (HCWs) with regard torecommending this vaccine for use, vaccine practices and infectious disease control in the Campania region in Italy. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 293 HCWs (49.5% physicians and 46.4% nurses) interviewed using a self-administered questionnaire.

The majority of the HCWs had sufficient knowledge about the disease incidence and lethality, but they were less informed about the higher risk age categories and the serogroups most frequently involved. Additionally, their knowledge about the vaccine waspoor with regard to the targeted categories and side effects. Approximately30.0% of the HCWs reported incidences of fever andpain and swelling at the injection site. Moreover,32.8% of the HCWs knew that the risk of developing adverse reactions increases when the 4CMenB vaccine is co-administered with other vaccines.

Overall, all of the HCWs wereconvinced that vaccinations are an important instrument forpreventing infectious diseases, and they were aware of theircentral role in promoting the 4CmenB vaccination and their need to be better informed.

description: We study the capabilities of the DUNE near detector to probe deviations from unitarity of the leptonic mixing matrix, the 3+1 sterile formalism and Non-Standard Interactions affecting neutrino production and detection. We clarify the relation and possible mappings among the three formalisms at short-baseline experiments, and we add to current analyses in the literature the study of the $ν_μ \rightarrow ν_τ$ appearance channel. We study in detail the impact of spectral uncertainties on the sensitivity to new physics using the DUNE near detector, which has been widely overlooked in the literature. Our analysis shows that this plays an important role on the results and, in particular, that it can lead to a strong reduction in the sensitivity to sterile neutrinos from $ν_μ \rightarrow ν_e$ transitions, by more than two orders of magnitude. This stresses the importance of a joint experimental and theoretical effort to improve our understanding of neutrino nucleus cross sections, as well as hadron production uncertainties and beam focusing effects. Nevertheless, even with our conservative and more realistic implementation of systematic uncertainties, we find that an improvement over current bounds in the new physics frameworks considered is generally expected if spectral uncertainties are below the $5\%$ level.

description: Introduction

Improved hand hygiene in contexts with high levels of diarrheal diseases has shown to reduce diarrheal episodes in children under five years. A quasi-experimental multi-country study with matched comparisons was conducted in four rural districts/sub districts in Cambodia, Guatemala, Kenya and Zambia.

Methods

Community oriented interventions including health promotion for appropriate hand washing was implemented in the intervention sites, through community health workers (CHW) and social accountability mechanisms. Community councils were strengthened/established in all study sites. Using household surveys, information on mother’s handwashing practices and diarrhea incidence of children 2 weeks preceding the study was obtained.

Results and Conclusion

Access to safe drinking water was reportedly higher for communities in Guatemala and Zambia (>80%), than those in Cambodia and Kenya (<63%), with significantly higher levels in intervention sites for Guatemala and Kenya. Improved sanitation was low (<10%), for Kenya and Zambia, compared to Cambodia and Guatemala (>40%); intervention sites reporting significantly higher levels, except for Zambia. Hand washing index; hand washing before food preparation, after defecation, attending to a child after defecation, and before feeding children was significantly higher for intervention sites in Cambodia, Guatemala and Kenya (Cambodia, 2.4 vs 2.2, p<0.001, Guatemala, 3.0 vs 2.5, p<0.001, Kenya, 2.6 vs 2.3, p<0.001). Factors significantly associated with lower odds of diarrhea were; mother’s marital status, higher educational status, one or more handwashing practices, wealthier quintiles, older (>24m), and female children. The findings suggest that caretaker handwashing with soap or ash has a protective effect on prevalence of diarrhea in children.

Subjects: Oral health awareness; general health; dental education

description: There is a lack of information about knowledge, attitude and behavior regarding oral hygiene and dietary habits of adult patients attending dental clinical settings. Hypertension, diabetes, obesity and caries are increasing among different populations, resulting in the deterioration of the quality of life related to oral and general health.

 Objectives: To involve second year dental students in assessing oral health knowledge, attitude, behavior, dietary habits and general health of dental patients, and screening for blood pressure, blood glucose level and obesity.

Participants and methods: A convenient sample of 652 adult subjects participated in the study. They were screened, and involved in an interviewer- led questionnaire, led by the students  over the period of two successive academic years (2013- 2014) and  (2014- 2015).

Results:  Subjects with high blood pressure and /or blood glucose levels were more likely to disagree regarding the presence of a relation between general health and dental health  [(r = -0.159, P-value <0.001) (r = -0.257, P-value <0.001) respectively]. Subjects with high BMI were less aware of the importance of using the tooth brush in prevention of gingival inflammation. The overall students’ satisfaction score was 71.5%. The practical part of the research had the highest satisfaction score (83.7%).
Conclusions: There is scarcity of data regarding dental healthcare knowledge and attitudes in dental clinical settings. Additional clinical training for dental students would increase their willingness to play a preventive and educational role in the oral care of patients.

Decade of Equality: Employment, Pay and Gender in Finland in the 1970s
Creators: name: Bergholm, Tapio
Publisher: name: Moving the Social
Year: 2015

description: The article discusses the great increase of female labour market participation in Finland in the 1970s. This had wider consequences for Finnish society. The phenomenon is seen in the context of the modernization of the economy, which turned the country from being largely agricultural in the 1950s to industrial thereafter. Economic growth was rapid after 1967, when the currency was devalued. In the early 1970s, however, there was a shortage of labour, largely due to emigration. This put employees in a strong bargaining position and a tradition of short successful strikes developed. Especially in 1971 and 1973 a very high number of working days was lost due to industrial conflict, while the incidence of such conflicts rose until 1976. But economic growth continued, and women joined the labour force with the support of both the Employers’ Confederation STK and the Trade Union Confederation SAK. A raft of employment legislation facilitated this development, such as the day care law of 1972 and increased maternal leave in 1974. The number of female trade union members increased dramatically. The article concludes that the 1970s were indeed a decade of equality.

description: Introduction. Evaluation of cleaning methods is the first step in the prevention of healthcare-associated infections. ATP hygiene monitoring tests are widely used for assessing the effectiveness of sanitation procedures. The test is easy to use and gives immediate results, however, ATP can be metabolized and degraded to ADP and AMP. Recently, a total adenylate [ATP+ADP+AMP(A3)] monitoring test has been developed.Our objective was to evaluate the usefulness of the A3 test for hygiene monitoring in healthcare settings.

Methods. The detection sensitivities of the ATP and the A3 tests were compared for hemolysate, sweat, and debris derived from endoscopes immediately after inspection. The performance of the A3 test in monitoring cleanliness of high touch surfaces in the hospital and endoscopes at each cleaning step was also evaluated.

Results. For the hemolysate, the measurement values of the A3 test were stable, although ATP was promptly degraded. In sweat, the amount of A3 was 20 times higher than that of ATP. The detection sensitivities of the A3 test on residues derived from gastroscopes and colonoscopes were 3 and 8 times higher, respectively, than those from the ATP test. A field study indicated that a large number of microorganisms tend to show high A3 values on high touch surfaces in the hospital and on endoscopes.

Conclusions. The A3 test appeared to be superior to the conventional ATP test for the rapid verification of cleaning procedures in healthcare settings.

A family of protocol testing techniques
Creators: name: Chan, Wendy Yuen-Ling
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis developed three testing techniques that are applicable to the conformance testing of protocols: the UlOv-method, the eUIOv-method and the hybrid technique. The UlOv-method is for testing simple protocols modelled by finite state machines (FSMs). Any protocol that passes its tests possesses an FSM skeleton that is identical to the specified FSM. The UlOv-method is extended to the eUIOv-method to test more complex protocols that can be modelled by extended FSMs (EFSMs). A data flow testing procedure (DFTP) based on static data flow analysis and FSM testing is developed in this thesis to test the flow of parameters and variables in a protocol. This procedure is augmented with the eUIOv-method to form the hybrid technique which is directly applicable to the testing of complex protocols implemented according to their Estelle specifications. The technique captures protocols with erroneous EFSM control structures that cannot be detected by existing testing methods developed by Sarikaya and Ural. KEYWORDS: conformance testing, protocols, Estelle, finite state machines, unique input/outputs, extended finite state machines, data flow, fault coverage, protocol specification.

description: We study the proximity effect between an s-wave superconductor and the surface states of a strong topological insulator. The resulting two dimensional state resembles a spinless p_x+ip_y superconductor, but does not break time reversal symmetry. This state supports Majorana bound states at vortices. We show that linear junctions between superconductors mediated by the topological insulator form a non chiral 1 dimensional wire for Majorana fermions, and that circuits formed from these junctions provide a method for creating, manipulating and fusing Majorana bound states.

description: We study the effect of a first-order phase transition in a confining $SU(N)$ dark sector with heavy dark quarks. The baryons of this sector are the dark matter candidate. During the confinement phase transition the heavy quarks are trapped inside isolated, contracting pockets of the deconfined phase, giving rise to a second stage of annihilation that dramatically suppresses the dark quark abundance. The surviving abundance is determined by the local accidental asymmetry in each pocket. The correct dark matter abundance is obtained for $\mathcal{O}(1-100)$ PeV dark quarks, above the usual unitarity bound.

Normal-Driven Spherical Shape Analogies

subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: This paper introduces a new method to stylize 3D geometry. The key observation is that the surface normal is an effective instrument to capture different geometric styles. Centered around this observation, we cast stylization as a shape analogy problem, where the analogy relationship is defined on the surface normal. This formulation can deform a 3D shape into different styles within a single framework. One can plug-and-play different target styles by providing an exemplar shape or an energy-based style description (e.g., developable surfaces). Our surface stylization methodology enables Normal Captures as a geometric counterpart to material captures (MatCaps) used in rendering, and the prototypical concept of Spherical Shape Analogies as a geometric counterpart to image analogies in image processing.

Simulating cosmic rays in clusters of galaxies - III. Non-thermal scaling relations and comparison to observations

description: Complementary views of galaxy clusters in the radio synchrotron, hard X-ray inverse Compton, and high-energy gamma-ray regimes are critical in calibrating them as high-precision cosmological probes. We present predictions for scaling relations between cluster mass and these non-thermal observables. To this end, we use high-resolution simulations of a sample of galaxy clusters spanning a mass range of almost two orders of magnitudes, and follow self-consistent cosmic ray physics on top of the radiative hydrodynamics. Calibrating the magnetic fields of our model with Faraday rotation measurements (RM), the synchrotron emission of our relativistic electron populations matches the radio synchrotron luminosities and morphologies of observed giant radio halos and mini-halos surprisingly well. Using the complete sample of the brightest X-ray clusters observed by ROSAT in combination with our gamma-ray scaling relation, we predict GLAST will detect about ten clusters allowing for Eddington bias due to the scatter in the scaling relation. The brightest gamma-ray clusters are Ophiuchus, Fornax, Coma, A3627, Perseus, and Centaurus. We provide an absolute lower flux limit for the gamma-ray emission of Coma in the hadronic model which can be made tighter for magnetic field values derived from RM values to match the GLAST sensitivity, providing thus a unique test for the possible hadronic origin of radio halos. Our predicted hard X-ray emission, due to inverse Compton emission of shock accelerated and hadronically produced relativistic electrons, falls short of the detections in Coma and Perseus by a factor of 50. This casts doubts on the inverse Compton interpretation and reinforces the known discrepancy of magnetic field estimates from Faraday RM values and those obtained by combining synchrotron and inverse Compton emission.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of the training course, Sisma Project, about smoking in healthcare degree courses, in terms of knowledge and behavior.

METHODS: SISMA project is an intervention delivered to healthcare profession students about smoking, using a before-after design. It was an online optional course available on the eLearning platform Moodle 2 in a specific week during routine university lessons. The course was structured in four lessons of 60 minutes, with a final debate among experts and a test.

RESULTS: The participants were 365 students (28.5% males and 71.5% females) that at the beginning of the trial filled out an online questionnaire. Current smokers were 161 (44.1%) before the course and 142 (38.9%) after the course (p<0.001). Students gave an evaluation about the course: 42.7% assigned a very high score, 33.2% expressed positive rating about material, 12.6% liked contents, and 15.6% appreciate the organization structure of the course.

DISCUSSION: Given the central role health professionals play in patient care, students need to be trained in tobacco cessation techniques. Our results indicate that smoking behavior significantly changed after attending the course and students appreciated the contents and structure of the course.

description: Introduction: Contaminated hands remain the mainstay cause of infection children. Infections like diarrhoea and pneumonia were found to be common among children who have limited knowledge on the importance of hand wash.  The present study was aimed to assess the relationship between the bacterial load sampled from the hands of school children and their routine hand wash practice methods.

Methods: Samples were collected from both the hands of 200 rural school children. Bacterial colonies isolated from the swabs were identified by standard microbiological procedures. Questionnaire was provided to gather matrix of routine hand wash practice from the subjects. Proper handwashing technique was demonstrated to children.

Results: More than 95% of the children harbored commensal like CoNS and Aerobic spore formers. Other pathogenic bacteria isolated include Acinetobacter species (36.5 %), Pseudomonas species 4% (15), Enterococcus species (2%), Klebsiella species (3.5%), Flavobacterium species (1.7%), Escherichia coli (2%), and Enterobacter species (0.75%).  It was found that the male children harbored more bacteria in their hands when compared to female population. Bacterial population like Pseudomonas species, Klebsiella species and Enterococcus species were predominant in the hands of children belonging to 7-10 years of age whereas Acinetobacter species, Escherichia coli and Flavobacterium species were slightly higher among 11-15 years of age.  This information corresponds to the poor hand washing practices among the children.

Conclusion: It can thus be concluded from our study that simple handwashing practices can efficiently reduce the transmission of pathogenic bacteria from our hands and greatly reduce the transmission of infection.

description: We consider the problem of estimating the unconditional distribution of a post-model-selection estimator. The notion of a post-model-selection estimator here refers to the combined procedure resulting from first selecting a model (e.g., by a model selection criterion like AIC or by a hypothesis testing procedure) and then estimating the parameters in the selected model (e.g., by least-squares or maximum likelihood), all based on the same data set. We show that it is impossible to estimate the unconditional distribution with reasonable accuracy even asymptotically. In particular, we show that no estimator for this distribution can be uniformly consistent (not even locally). This follows as a corollary to (local) minimax lower bounds on the performance of estimators for the distribution; performance is here measured by the probability that the estimation error exceeds a given threshold. These lower bounds are shown to approach 1/2 or even 1 in large samples, depending on the situation considered. Similar impossibility results are also obtained for the distribution of linear functions (e.g., predictors) of the post-model-selection estimator.

description: The inclusive B -> Xs l+ l- decay rate in the large q^2 region (q^2 > m_{ψ'}^2) receives significant nonperturbative corrections. The resulting uncertainties can be drastically reduced by normalizing the rate to the B -> Xu l nu rate with the same q^2 cut, which allows for much improved tests of short distance physics. We calculate this ratio, including the order 1/m_b^3 nonperturbative corrections and the analytically known NNLO perturbative corrections. Since in the large q^2 region an inclusive measurement may be feasible via a sum over exclusive states, our results could be useful for measurements at LHCb and possibly for studies of B -> Xd l+ l-.

description: Background: The incidence of Road Traffic Crashes (RTC) is rising world-wide, with 1.24 million people killed on the world’s roads in 2010 due to non-compliance with safety measures.The objectives of the study was to determine the practice of safety measures and prevalence of road crashes among inter-city commercial vehicle drivers in Kwara State, Nigeria.

Materials and Methods: It was a descriptive cross-sectional study done by interviewer administered questionnaire and blood alcohol concentration of respondents was determined using Breathalyzers. A total of 410 respondents were involved by multi-stage sampling technique and data analysis was done using EPI INFO version 3.5.1 software package. An appropriate test of significance were used and the level of significance was < 0.05 at 95% confidence level.

Results: There was statistically significant p = 0.057 relationship in good safety practices among drivers in the age group 26-55 years compared with those ≤ 25 years and > 55 years. More respondents who practiced safety measures carried out driving test before issuance of license compared with those who did not (p = 0.001). Some respondents tested positive for alcohol and the mean blood alcohol concentration was 23.28± 23.32µg/dl. About a third of the respondents had experienced road traffic crashes in the past.

Conclusion: The middle age respondents had good safety practices compared with others. Safety practices were influenced by driving test before issuance of license and alcohol intake was a factor in RTC. Orientation of drivers and enforcement of laws are critical in road safety.

description: Genus Habralictus Moure Comments. Previous authors have recognized two subgenera – Habralictus s.str. and Zikaniella – based on characters such as the width of head and genae, the concavity of the clypeus, and the shape of the metatibial spur serrate or pectinate (Michener 2007). The species described herein combines some of these characters (clypeus not concave and flat, genae narrower than compound eyes, and pectinate metatibial spurs), supporting the unification of the subgenera as used by Moure et al. (2007).

A deep AAOmega survey of low-luminosity galaxies in the Shapley Supercluster: Stellar population trends

description: We present new optical spectroscopy for 342 R<18 galaxies in the Shapley Supercluster obtained with the AAOmega facility at the Anglo-Australian Telescope. We describe the observations and measurements of central velocity dispersion, emission line equivalent widths and absorption line indices. The distinguishing characteristic of the survey is its coverage of a very wide baseline in velocity dispersion (30-300 km/s), while achieving high signal-to-noise ratio throughout (median 60 per Ang). Significant emission at H-alpha was detected in ~20 per cent of red-sequence Shapley members. Using line-ratio diagnostics, we find that the emission is LINER-like at high luminosity, but driven by star-formation in low-luminosity galaxies. We use Lick indices to characterise the absorption spectra. We define a subset of galaxies with very low emission contamination, and fit the index-sigma relations for this subset. Comparing the index-sigma slopes against predictions from single-burst stellar population models, we infer the scaling relations of age, total metallicity, [Z/H], and alpha-element abundance ratio, [a/Fe]. To reproduce the observed index-sigma slopes, all three parameters must increase with increasing velocity dispersion. Specifically, we recover: Age \propto sigma^0.52+/-0.10, Z/H \propto sigma^0.34+/-0.07, and a/Fe \propto sigma^0.23+/-0.06 (error reflects systematic effects), derived over a decade baseline in velocity dispersion. The recovered age-sigma relation is shown to be consistent with the observed evolution in the giant-to-dwarf galaxy ratio in clusters at redshifts z=0.4-0.8. A companion paper will analyse the distribution of age, [Z/H] and [a/Fe] for individual galaxies. (Abridged.)

DCU Press: Vision to Reality
Creators: name: Breen, Ellen
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: The past number of years has seen a growing trend in the establishment of University Presses. This growth in institutional publishing is a direct response to the changing scholarly communication landscape. Drivers include an increased awareness and understanding of the benefits and importance of open access publishing, funder mandates requiring all publicly funded research to be open and freely available to all, as well as concerns for the viability of scholarly monographs and the high cost of journal subscriptions (Lockett & Speicher, 2016).

This presentation will discuss the establishment of DCU Press, Ireland’s first fully open access University Press. The launch of DCU Press was officially announced in July 2018. The Press is a joint initiative between DCU Library and the Office of the Vice President for Research and Innovation. It is a key initiative in support of the university’s strategic goal to advance its reputation for world-class research (DCU, 2017). The Press will see the university take on a greater role in the dissemination of its research. It will enhance institutional reputation, brand and prestige by significantly increasing the discoverability and global reach of DCU’s research outputs and further expand its support for the principles of open science.

The specific focus of the presentation will be the establishment and set-up of the Press. Areas discussed will include:

	the rationale and strategic context for the establishment of an OA Press
	the benefits of establishing an OA Press
	advocacy, engagement and support for the Press
	governance, management, quality control (peer review processes)
	business/operational model – staffing, workflows and key partnerships
	current and future plans
