Image Matching with Scale Adjustment

description: In this paper we address the problem of matching two images with two different resolutions: a high-resolution image and a low-resolution one. The difference in resolution between the two images is not known and without loss of generality one of the images is assumed to be the high-resolution one. On the premise that changes in resolution act as a smoothing equivalent to changes in scale, a scale-space representation of the high-resolution image is produced. Hence the one-to-one classical image matching paradigm becomes one-to-many because the low-resolution image is compared with all the scale-space representations of the high-resolution one. Key to the success of such a process is the proper representation of the features to be matched in scale-space. We show how to represent and extract interest points at variable scales and we devise a method allowing the comparison of two images at two different resolutions. The method comprises the use of photometric- and rotation-invariant descriptors, a geometric model mapping the high-resolution image onto a low-resolution image region, and an image matching strategy based on local constraints and on the robust estimation of this geometric model. Extensive experiments show that our matching method can be used for scale changes up to a factor of 6.

description: We develop a new approach for detecting changes in the behavior of stochastic processes and random fields based on tensor product representations such as the Karhunen-Loève expansion. From the associated eigenspaces of the covariance operator a series of nested function spaces are constructed, allowing detection of signals lying in orthogonal subspaces. In particular this can succeed even if the stochastic behavior of the signal changes either in a global or local sense. A mathematical approach is developed to locate and measure sizes of extraneous components based on construction of multilevel nested subspaces. We show examples in $\mathbb{R}$ and on a spherical domain $\mathbb{S}^{2}$. However, the method is flexible, allowing the detection of orthogonal signals on general topologies, including spatio-temporal domains.

An Angle Dependent SSC Model for Relativistic Jet Sources
Creators: name: Jamil, Omar

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: We report on the development of a numerical code to calculate the angle-dependent synchrotron + synchrotron self-Compton radiation from relativistic jet sources with partially ordered magnetic fields and anisotropic particle distributions. Using a multi-zone radiation transfer approach, we can simulate magnetic-field configurations ranging from perfectly ordered (unidirectional) to randomly oriented (tangled). We demonstrate that synchrotron self-Compton model fits to the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of extragalactic jet sources may be possible with a wide range of magnetic-field values, depending on their orientation with respect to the jet axis and the observer. This is illustrated with the example of a spectral fit to the SED of Mrk~421 from multi-wavelength observations in 2006, where acceptable fits are possible with magnetic-field values varying within a range of an order of magnitude for different degrees of B-field alignment and orientation.

title: Petrogenesis of Enriched and Intermediate Poikilitic Shergottites: From Magmatic Source to Emplacement
Creators: name: Rahib, Rachel
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2018

description: Poikilitic shergottites, making up >20% of martian meteorites, likely represent a significant composition of the martian crust, as intrusive gabbroic rocks. To further constrain petrogenetic relationships amongst enriched and intermediate poikilitic shergottites, we utilize bulk rock trace element compositions, mineral major element compositions, phosphorus maps of olivine grains, oxygen fugacity (ƒO2) values, subsolidus equilibration temperatures, and quantitative textural analyses, of the most comprehensive suite of poikilitic shergottites yet (11 samples), including three newly recovered samples (Northwest Africa [NWA] 11065, NWA 11043, NWA 10961). Although petrographically light rare earth element (LREE) enriched and intermediate poikilitic shergottites are similar, distinct LREE abundances suggest derivation from at least two unique magmatic sources. The characteristic bimodal textures (poikilitic and non-poikilitic textures) of poikilitic shergottites record evolving magmatic conditions at different stages of crystallization. Hotter, more reducing conditions, during early-stage crystallization, are recorded in the poikilitic textures and, cooler, more oxidizing conditions, at late-stage crystallization, are recorded in the non-poikilitic textures. Oxygen fugacity estimates for early-stage olivine-pyroxene-spinel assemblages of enriched and intermediate poikilitic shergottites suggest decoupling of ƒO2 and degree of LREE-enrichment (i.e., [La/Yb]CI), and increases in ƒO2 exceeding 1 log unit from poikilitic to non-poikilitic textures implies auto-oxidation and degassing. Phosphorus maps of poikilitic and non-poikilitic olivine grains within NWA 10618, NWA 7755, and ALHA 77005 demonstrate transition from equilibrium growth in a magma staging chamber, followed by disequilibrium growth in transit to the surface, whereas phosphorus maps within LEW 88516 and NWA 11065 show disequilibrium growth during poikilitic olivine crystallization. Quantitative textural analyses of both enriched and intermediate poikilitic shergottites supports emplacement as various cumulate piles or shallow intrusive bodies, as well as a potentially widespread emplacement mechanism responsible for a major lithology of the martian crust.

description: Compressive sensing (CS) has triggered enormous research activity since its first appearance. CS exploits the signal's sparsity or compressibility in a particular domain and integrates data compression and acquisition, thus allowing exact reconstruction through relatively few non-adaptive linear measurements. While conventional CS theory relies on data representation in the form of vectors, many data types in various applications such as color imaging, video sequences, and multi-sensor networks, are intrinsically represented by higher-order tensors. Application of CS to higher-order data representation is typically performed by conversion of the data to very long vectors that must be measured using very large sampling matrices, thus imposing a huge computational and memory burden. In this paper, we propose Generalized Tensor Compressive Sensing (GTCS)--a unified framework for compressive sensing of higher-order tensors which preserves the intrinsic structure of tensor data with reduced computational complexity at reconstruction. GTCS offers an efficient means for representation of multidimensional data by providing simultaneous acquisition and compression from all tensor modes. In addition, we propound two reconstruction procedures, a serial method (GTCS-S) and a parallelizable method (GTCS-P). We then compare the performance of the proposed method with Kronecker compressive sensing (KCS) and multi way compressive sensing (MWCS). We demonstrate experimentally that GTCS outperforms KCS and MWCS in terms of both reconstruction accuracy (within a range of compression ratios) and processing speed. The major disadvantage of our methods (and of MWCS as well), is that the compression ratios may be worse than that offered by KCS.

High Order Numerical Homogenization for Dissipative Ordinary Differential Equations

Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We propose a high order numerical homogenization method for dissipative ordinary differential equations (ODEs) containing two time scales. Essentially, only first order homogenized model globally in time can be derived. To achieve a high order method, we have to adopt a numerical approach in the framework of the heterogeneous multiscale method (HMM). By a successively refined microscopic solver, the accuracy improvement up to arbitrary order is attained providing input data smooth enough. Based on the formulation of the high order microscopic solver we derived, an iterative formula to calculate the microscopic solver is then proposed. Using the iterative formula, we develop an implementation to the method in an efficient way for practical applications. Several numerical examples are presented to validate the new models and numerical methods.

The Presentation of Childhood Parental Divorce in Adulthood: A Retrospective Phenomenological Study
Creators: name: Morrison, Sheala Catherine
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2014

description: There has been a wealth of research aimed at developing an understanding of the way in which the experience of divorce impacts children. However, adult children of divorce have been widely underrepresented in this literature, much of which is outdated being at least ten years old. With shifting societal attitudes and the transformation of the family system since the 1990's it is crucial that the research is updated in order to stay up on the way children and families are impacted in today's society. The purpose of this study was to hear directly from adults who experienced their parents' divorce in childhood in order to gain a deeper understanding of their experience and what the resulting impacts have been on their adult lives. Participants identified communication and support as the biggest factors contributing both positively and negatively to their adjustment. Their views of their parents, divorce, and relationships were directly tied to their perceptions of their experience with divorce and how well their parents were able to navigate it.

description: We present results from the first combined study of variable stars and star formation history (SFH) of the Milky Way (MW) "ultra-faint" dwarf (UFD) galaxy Leo T, based on F606W and F814W multi-epoch archive observations obtained with the Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 on board the Hubble Space Telescope. We have detected 14 variable stars in the galaxy. They include one fundamental-mode RR Lyrae star and 10 Anomalous Cepheids with periods shorter than 1 day, thus suggesting the occurrence of multiple star formation episodes in this UFD, of which one about 10 Gyr ago produced the RR Lyrae star. A new estimate of the distance to Leo T of 409 $^{+29}_{-27}$ kpc (distance modulus of 23.06 $\pm$ 0.15 mag) was derived from the galaxy's RR Lyrae star. Our V, V-I color-magnitude diagram of Leo T reaches V~29 mag and shows features typical of a galaxy in transition between dwarf irregular and dwarf spheroidal types. A quantitative analysis of the star formation history, based on the comparison of the observed V,V-I CMD with the expected distribution of stars for different evolutionary scenarios, confirms that Leo T has a complex star formation history dominated by two enhanced periods about 1.5 and 9 Gyr ago, respectively. The distribution of stars and gas shows that the galaxy has a fairly asymmetric structure.

description: In algebraic geometry, it is important to provide effective parametrizations for families of curves, both in theory and in practice. In this paper, we present such an effective parametrization for the moduli of genus-$5$ curves that are neither hyperelliptic nor trigonal. Subsequently, we construct an algorithm for a complete enumeration of non-special genus-$5$ curves having more rational points than a specified bound, where ``non-special curve'' means that the curve is non-hyperelliptic and non-trigonal with mild singularities of the associated sextic model that we propose. As a practical application, we implement this algorithm using the computer algebra system MAGMA, specifically for curves over the prime field of characteristic $3$.

The Egyptian Collection of The Fondation Gandur. Pour l’art, Genève, Switzerland

Publisher: name: CIPEG Journal: Ancient Egyptian & Sudanese Collections and Museums
Year: 2018

description: Jean Claude Gandur, the founder and chairman of the Fondation Gandur pour l’Art, located in Geneva, Switzerland, is a successful businessman as well as a recognized philanthropist. He was born into a family that was sensitive to European, Oriental, and South American art, to which he was exposed at an early age when one of his grandparents presented him with a terracotta oil lamp. From that modest beginning over 40 years ago he continues to build his own collection by concentrating on four areas,
namely, Antiquities, Fine Art [primarily European Abstract Expressionism], Decorative Arts [from the Medieval Period to the end of the XVIII century], Ethnology [primarily, Pre‐Columbian] and Oceanic Art.
Gandur established the Fondation Gandur pour l’Art as a not‐for‐profit organization, incorporated by the canton of Geneva in 2010 because he desired to share that passion for art, particularly ancient Egyptian art, with a wider audience. The Fondation became of a member of ICOM in 2013. It continues to collect aggressively but acquires only those antiquities which have legally documented provenance histories which meet or exceed ICOM’s strict criteria for due diligence.

description: The tragic June 4th Crackdown on the Tiananmen Student Movement dealt a devastating blow to the hope of China’s democratization. In the 1980s, the majority of young Chinese students expressed overwhelming support for the democracy movement and the New Enlightenment thought trend which preceded the 1989 protests. The homogeneity of the 80s intellectual sphere, however, is a stark contrast to the intense debate between the “New Left” and “Liberal” camps in China which began in the late 1990s. My paper seeks to answer the question: “Why did China’s intellectual homogeneity dissolve so quickly in the 90s?” And more importantly, “What is at stake in those debates between intellectual camps?” To answer these questions, I argue that ideological differences among Chinese intellectuals fundamentally change their perception of China’s post-1989 reality. After the Tiananmen Movement, Deng Xiaoping intensified China’s economic reforms as an answer to both the internal and external crises to his political power after June 4th. While this new wave of reforms brought about unprecedented economic growth and commerce in China, it also created looming social problems such as inequality and corruption. However, these social issues generated polarizing responses from Chinese intellectuals who offered contradicting explanations to these social and economic issues. Scholars of the New Left, who argues that socialism still has a future, blamed the influx of foreign investments and global capitalism as the primary cause. The Liberals, on the other hand, identify the dictatorship of the Leninist party-state to be the cause of China’s mushrooming social ills. The paper then concludes with a reflection on the debate with respect to recent political developments in China, particularly the rise of President Xi Jinping and his Great Rejuvenation of China campaign.

title: Holistic Resilience Quantification Framework of Rural Communities
Creators: name: Melendez, Amanda
Publisher: name: University of Kentucky Libraries
Year: 2020

description: Communities need to prepare for anticipated hazards, adapt to varying conditions, and resist and recover rapidly from disturbances. Protecting the built environment from natural and man-made hazards and understanding the impact of these hazards helps allocate resources efficiently. Recently, an indicator-based and time-dependent approach was developed for defining and measuring the functionality and disaster resilience continuously at the community level. This computational method uses seven dimensions that find qualitative characteristics and transforms them into quantitative measures. The proposed framework is used to study the resilience of rural communities’ subject to severe flooding events. Harlan County in the Appalachian region is chosen as a case study to evaluate the proposed resilience quantification framework subject to severe flooding. The results show the validity of the proposed approach as a decision-support mechanism to assess and enhance the resilience of rural communities.

description: A detailed analysis of the process of two photon emission by an electron scattered from a high-intensity laser pulse is presented. The calculations are performed in the framework of strong-field QED and include exactly the presence of the laser field, described as a plane wave. We investigate the full quantum regime of interaction, where photon recoil plays an essential role in the emission process, and substantially alters the emitted photon spectra as compared to those in previously-studied regimes. We provide a semiclassical explanation for such differences, based on the possibility of assigning a trajectory to the electron in the laser field before and after each quantum photon emission. Our numerical results indicate the feasibility of investigating experimentally the full quantum regime of nonlinear double Compton scattering with already available plasma-based electron accelerator and laser technology.

description: The aim of this paper is to classify simply connected 6-dimensional torus manifolds with vanishing odd degree cohomology. It is shown that there is a one-to-one correspondence between equivariant diffeomorphism types of these manifolds and 3-valent labelled graphs, called torus graphs introduced by Maeda-Masuda-Panov. Using this correspondence and combinatorial arguments, we prove that a simply connected 6-dimensional torus manifold with vanishing odd degree cohomology is equivariantly diffeomorphic to the 6-dimensional sphere or an equivariant connected sum of copies of 6-dimensional quasitoric manifolds or 4-dimensional sphere bundles over the 2-dimensional sphere.

They Knew Full Well

Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2017

description: The following thesis, a novel titled They Knew Full Well, tells the story of a construction
worker, Damon Barley, whose family is torn apart by the tidal shifts of a futuristic society, one
facing massive overpopulation problems. A science-fiction novel in many ways, the setting is
based on a wide breadth of research in fields that include genetics, sustainable urban
development, climate change, and the progression towards an information-intensive job market.
The conflicts between characters and their setting serve to highlight the potential challenges of this plausible future. They also attempt to form an interweaving, riveting plot to captivate the
reader and ultimately raise questions about the direction of our current society and culture.
Although entirely fiction, They Knew Full Well remains plausible because of the very
human tendencies of its characters as well as the factually-based descriptions in its setting. As
the story progresses, it becomes clear that accommodating for an overwhelming number of
people ultimately requires the sacrifices of basic freedoms on an individual level. The characters,
in many places throughout the novel, are forced to give up their desires, dreams, and choices for
the greater good of their society. By the end of the story, many of the characters are
fundamentally changed, or they choose to entrench themselves selfishly against the common
good. The conflicts that arise do not end well for either party, and the story, by the end, sheds
light on our very human qualities of both selfishness and altruism.
The thesis is roughly 240 pages in length, comprised of thirteen chapters, as well as a title
page and table of contents. Written in the third-person point-of-view, the prose, description, and
dialogue have all been given close attention so that the form in many ways matches the content
of the story.

description: We report calculations of a wave-packet amplitude of the two-body scattering $ϕϕ\to Φ\to ϕϕ$, which leads to the measured probability in realistic experiments. We elucidate the decay amplitude of $ Φ\rightarrow ϕϕ$ from this. In such an amplitude of wave packets, there are in and out time boundaries for the initial $Φ$ and final $ϕϕ$ configurations, respectively. In this paper, we prove that the effect of the in time boundary of $Φ\toϕϕ$ emerges from $ϕϕ\toΦ\toϕϕ$ without assuming any time boundary \emph{a priori}. This effect has been overlooked in the standard plane-wave formulation and can exhibit distinct phenomena in wide areas of science. We confirm the result in different integration orders. The result is also interpreted as a Stokes phenomenon in the Lefschetz-thimble decomposition.

description: We present analysis of archival X-ray data obtained with the XMM-Newton and Suzaku for a new Intermediate Polar identified as a counterpart of an INTEGRAL discovered gamma-ray source, IGR J17195-4100. We report a new period of 1053.7\pm12.2 s in X-rays. A new binary orbital period of 3.52+1.43-0.80 h is strongly indicated in the power spectrum of the time series. An ephemeris of the new period proposed as the spin period of the system has also been obtained. The various peaks detected in the power spectrum suggest a probable disc-less accretion system. The soft X-rays (<3 keV) dominate the variability seen in the X-ray light curves. The spin modulation shows energy dependence suggesting the possibility of a variable partial covering accretion column. The averaged spectral data obtained with XMM-Newton EPIC cameras show a multi temperature spectra with a soft excess. The latter can be attributed to the varying coverage of accretion curtains.

Do We Really Need Dice? The Hidden Region-Size Biases of Segmentation Losses

description: Most segmentation losses are arguably variants of the Cross-Entropy (CE) or Dice losses. On the surface, these two categories of losses seem unrelated, and there is no clear consensus as to which category is a better choice, with varying performances for each across different benchmarks and applications. Furthermore, it is widely argued within the medical-imaging community that Dice and CE are complementary, which has motivated the use of compound CE-Dice losses. In this work, we provide a theoretical analysis, which shows that CE and Dice share a much deeper connection than previously thought. First, we show that, from a constrained-optimization perspective, they both decompose into two components, i.e., a similar ground-truth matching term, which pushes the predicted foreground regions towards the ground-truth, and a region-size penalty term imposing different biases on the size of the predicted regions. Then, we provide bound relationships and an information-theoretic analysis, which uncover hidden region-size biases: Dice has an intrinsic bias towards specific extremely imbalanced solutions, whereas CE implicitly encourages the ground-truth region proportions. Our theoretical results explain the wide experimental evidence in the medical-imaging literature, whereby Dice losses bring improvements for imbalanced segmentation. Based on our theoretical analysis, we propose a principled and simple solution, which enables to control explicitly the region-size bias. The proposed method integrates CE with explicit terms based on L1 or the KL divergence, which encourage segmenting region proportions to match target class proportions, thereby mitigating class imbalance but without losing generality. Comprehensive experiments and ablation studies over different losses and applications validate our theoretical analysis, as well as the effectiveness of explicit and simple region-size terms.

description: The smooth rational homology cobordism group of rational homology three spheres, T, contains subgroups T_p generated by 3-manifolds with first homology p-torsion, where p is a prime. Rochlin's theorem and gauge theoretic methods show that the inclusion of the direct sum of the T_p into T has infinitely generated kernel. We use Heegaard-Floer methods to show that the cokernel is infinitely generated. On the level of Witt groups of linking forms and conjecturally in the topological category, the inclusion is an isomorphism. One application is the demonstration of the failure in dimension three of an algebraic and higher dimensional theorem of Stoltzfus regarding primary splittings in the knot concordance group. We also build on work of the second author with Hedden and Ruberman to prove that the homology cobordism group of rational homology three spheres that bound topological rational homology 4-balls remains infinitely generated when modded out by the homology cobordism group of integral homology 3-spheres.

description: Stellar models generally use simple parametrizations to treat convection. The most widely used parametrization is the so-called "Mixing Length Theory" where the convective eddy sizes are described using a single number, α, the mixing-length parameter. This is a free parameter, and the general practice is to calibrate αusing the known properties of the Sun and apply that to all stars. Using data from NASA's Kepler mission we show that using the solar-calibrated αis not always appropriate, and that in many cases it would lead to estimates of initial helium abundances that are lower than the primordial helium abundance. Kepler data allow us to calibrate αfor many other stars and we show that for the sample of stars we have studied, the mixing-length parameter is generally lower than the solar value. We studied the correlation between αand stellar properties, and we find that αincreases with metallicity. We therefore conclude that results obtained by fitting stellar models or by using population-synthesis models constructed with solar values of αare likely to have large systematic errors. Our results also confirm theoretical expectations that the mixing-length parameter should vary with stellar properties.

description: We present a near- to mid-infrared point source catalog of 5 photometric bands at 3.2, 7, 11, 15 and 24 um for a 10 deg2 area of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) obtained with the Infrared Camera (IRC) onboard the AKARI satellite. To cover the survey area the observations were carried out at 3 separate seasons from 2006 May to June, 2006 October to December, and 2007 March to July. The 10-sigma limiting magnitudes of the present survey are 17.9, 13.8, 12.4, 9.9, and 8.6 mag at 3.2, 7, 11, 15 and 24 um, respectively. The photometric accuracy is estimated to be about 0.1 mag at 3.2 um and 0.06--0.07 mag in the other bands. The position accuracy is 0.3" at 3.2, 7 and 11um and 1.0" at 15 and 24 um. The sensitivities at 3.2, 7, and 24 um are roughly comparable to those of the Spitzer SAGE LMC point source catalog, while the AKARI catalog provides the data at 11 and 15 um, covering the mid-infrared spectral range contiguously. Two types of catalog are provided: a Catalog and an Archive. The Archive contains all the detected sources, while the Catalog only includes the sources that have a counterpart in the Spitzer SAGE point source catalog. The Archive contains about 650,000, 140,000, 97,000, 43,000, and 52,000 sources at 3.2, 7, 11, 15, and 24 um, respectively. Based on the catalog, we discuss the luminosity functions at each band, the color-color diagram, and the color-magnitude diagram using the 3.2, 7, and 11 um band data. Stars without circumstellar envelopes, dusty C-rich and O-rich stars, young stellar objects, and background galaxies are located at distinct regions in the diagrams, suggesting that the present catalog is useful for the classification of objects towards the LMC.

Is It Still Impossible to Be Black and American?
Creators: name: Carroll, Darrian
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2018

description: This thesis engages Bill Clinton's presidential rhetoric to investigate how liberal rhetorical practices can be used to extend and sustain the oppression of Black Americans. By adopting Du Bois' concepts of the color-line and double-consciousness this thesis examines how Bill Clinton was able to recreate the color-line in the Mason Temple speech and benefit from and recreate a world devoid of consciousness in other selected speeches from his corpus. This project takes up three separate speeches by Bill Clinton as texts. The second chapter focuses on Bill Clinton's "Remarks to the Rainbow Coalition" and "Remarks announcing the initiative" to make the argument that based on the undue authority vested in Clinton as an unmarked identity he was given the jurisdiction to sacrifice marginalized, specifically Black, populations. The third chapter builds on the conversation about authority and sacrifice by focusing on how Bill Clinton's Mason Temple speech recreated the color-line by using ideographs to define what Black people should do. This thesis concludes by engaging with Du Bois' concept of double-consciousness to highlight how the debate between Forbes Hill and Karlyn Kohrs Campbell in the 1972 edition of the Quarterly Journal of Speech reveals that in the contemporary moment rhetorical critics need to evaluate speeches not only based on their argumentative strength but also their ethical implications.

description: We present results from SPH-cosmological simulations, including self-consistent modelling of SN feedback and chemical evolution, of galaxies belonging to two clusters and twelve groups. We reproduce the mass-metallicity (ZM) relation of galaxies classified in two samples according to their star-forming activity, as parametrized by their sSFR, across a redshift range up to z=2. Its slope shows irrelevant evolution in the passive sample, being steeper in groups than in clusters. However, the sub-sample of high-mass passive galaxies only is characterized by a steep increase of the slope with redshift, from which it can be inferred that the bulk of the slope evolution of the ZM relation is driven by the more massive passive objects. (...ABRIDGED...) The ZM relation for the star-forming sample reveals an increasing scatter with redshift, indicating that it is still being built at early epochs. The star-forming galaxies make up a tight sequence in the SFR-M_* plane at high redshift, whose scatter increases with time alongside with the consolidation of the passive sequence. We also confirm the anti-correlation between sSFR and stellar mass, pointing at a key role of the former in determining the galaxy downsizing, as the most significant means of diagnostics of the star formation efficiency. Likewise, an anti-correlation between sSFR and metallicity can be established for the star-forming galaxies, while on the contrary more active galaxies in terms of simple SFR are also metal-richer. We discuss these results in terms of the mechanisms driving the evolution within the high- and low-mass regimes at different epochs: mergers, feedback-driven outflows and the intrinsic variation of the star formation efficiency.

Defect formation in superconducting rings: external fields and finite-size effects

description: Consistent with the predictions of Kibble and Zurek, scaling behaviour has been seen in the production of fluxoids during temperature quenches of superconducting rings. However, deviations from the canonical behaviour arise because of finite-size effects and stray external fields. Technical developments, including laser heating and the use of long Josephson tunnel junctions, have improved the quality of data that can be obtained. With new experiments in mind we perform large-scale 3D simulations of quenches of small, thin rings of various geometries with fully dynamical electromagnetic fields, at nonzero externally applied magnetic flux. We find that the outcomes are, in practice, indistinguishable from those of much simpler Gaussian analytical approximations in which the rings are treated as one-dimensional systems and the magnetic field fluctuation-free.
