Multiple scales analysis of slow--fast quasilinear systems

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Fluid Dynamics (physics.flu-dyn)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This article illustrates the application of multiple scales analysis to two archetypal quasilinear systems; i.e. to systems involving fast dynamical modes, called fluctuations, that are not directly influenced by fluctuation--fluctuation nonlinearities but nevertheless are strongly coupled to a slow variable whose evolution may be fully nonlinear. In the first case, fast waves drive a slow, spatially-inhomogeneous evolution of their celerity field. Multiple scales analysis confirms that, although the energy $E$, the angular frequency $ω$, and the modal structure of the waves evolve, the wave action $E/ω$ is conserved in the absence of forcing and dissipation. In the second system, the fast modes undergo an instability that is saturated through a feedback on the slow variable. A new multiscale analysis is developed to treat this case. The key technical point, confirmed by the analysis, is that the fluctuation energy and mode structure evolve slowly to ensure that the slow field remains in a state of near marginal stability. These two model systems appear to be generic, being representative of many if not all quasilinear systems. In each case, numerical simulations of both the full and reduced dynamical systems are performed to highlight the accuracy and efficiency of the multiple scales approach. Python codes are provided as supplementary material.

description: Muslim communities are among the least well understood in Australia. This thesis examines the emerging phenomenon of Muslim civil society organisations (MCSOs). In contrast to much publicised jihadist and radical groups, MCSOs are far more representative of Muslim communities and integral to the long-term position of Islam in Australia. Using descriptive phenomenology, this study presents the experiences of Australian Muslim civil society actors and the organisations they represent. Through 30 unstructured, in-depth interviews with 15 Australian MCSOs actors, their stories are told for the first time based on their lived experience and in their own words. In particular, this thesis explores how MCSOs have responded to the challenges of the Australian socio-political context, the perceived impact of these experiences, and how Islam is manifested within the contexts of these experiences. The key themes which emerged from these interviews include: community building, social inclusion, the impact of 9/11 and the negotiation of identity. Importantly, based on these four major themes, the phenomenological analysis delineated that the universal essence of Australian MCSOs clearly revealed that Islam does not exist in Australia in isolation from the wider socio-political context. There is a constant, albeit under-recognised, process of negotiated exchange with Australian cultural norms, values, systems and institutions. Moreover, the findings also demonstrated that external events have brought Australian MCSOs full circle in their community building.

description: Based on HPLC fingerprint analysis and multi-components quantification, a simple, sensible, and reliable HPLC-UV method, capable of qualitatively and quantitatively characterizing the main chemical markers of all medicinal herbs of Zaoren Anshen (ZRAS) prescription by one injection, was firstly developed. Then, three different dosage forms of ZRAS preparations, i.e., capsule, granule, and oral liquid, were analyzed and compared systematically, indicating the similarity and difference in chemical markers of the three ZRAS preparations. The strategy of combining HPLC chemical fingerprint and multi-components quantification in one injection was rather practical, powerful and useful in characterizing the main chemical markers of ZRAS preparations, which was a benefit for holistic quality evaluation and control of ZRAS preparations. Moreover, the present results provide sound scientific data for further studies on the effective constituents and quality control of ZRAS preparations.

description: Differential and total breakup cross sections as well as vector and tensor analyzing powers for p-d scattering are studied for energies above the deuteron breakup threshold up to E(lab)=28 MeV. The p-d scattering wave function is expanded in terms of the correlated hyperspherical harmonic basis and the elastic S-matrix is obtained using the Kohn variational principle in its complex form. The effects of the Coulomb interaction, which are expected to be important in this energy range, have been rigorously taken into account. The Argonne AV18 interaction and the Urbana URIX three-nucleon potential have been used to perform a comparison to the available experimental data.

title: Towards De(s)colonial Research in the Global Rural: A Feminist Feeling-Thinking Study with Rural Women in Colombia

description: This dissertation is a feminist de(s)colonial study with rural women in Colombia. It documents and validates the lives, labour and agency of rural women by re-signifying place as a site of resistance and negotiation within a neoliberal context. Descolonialism is not a concrete theory. It is a process that is alive, emphasising the openness of identities, the entanglement of ways of thinking and the notion of feeling-thinking. It is an approach that opens up spaces to think from the localities and social spaces of activism and research. In using descolonialism as the epistemology for this thesis, I implemented a feminist participatory visual methodology, collecting data from two case studies in the towns of Toca and Minca. The case studies involved focus groups that included photo-elicitation interviews with campesina women, as well as the collaborative organisation of two photographic exhibitions where further informal interviews were conducted with the community. Data for the thesis were also generated through in-depth interviews with women activists involved in social movements and organisations focused on rural women in Colombia. Collectively, the data demonstrate that rural women are agents in place, resisting colonial practices such as the impact of climate change, agroindustries, machismo and exploitative tourism. While campesina women experience social inequality, they enact resistance in places such as the home, vereda, and the city, and contest violence against their territories bodies-lands. As such, rural women in Colombia challenge their positioning by hegemonic feminisms and neoliberal projects as lacking agency and in need of saving. The research demonstrates the importance of feminist, feeling-thinking, place-based research to conceptualising the countryside as an embodied relational space constituted by multiplicities and histories. In calling for alliances that trouble neoliberal projects (including academia) I conclude this thesis by stating that there is an urgent need to support autonomy struggles in Colombia, in the context of the critical historical moment after the peace accord signature with the FARC-EP in 2016. Overall, this thesis contributes to the growing literature emerging from the Global South that makes visible and supports the progressive politics and new paradigms that question the colonial bias of hegemonic feminisms and neoliberal projects.

Grassmannian and Flag sigma models on interval: phase structure and L-dependence

description: We discuss the two-dimensional Grassmannian $SU(N)/S(U(N-2)\times U(2))$ and the flag $SU(N)/S(U(N-2)\times U(1)\times U(1))$ sigma models on a finite interval and construct analytical solutions of gap equations in the large N limit. We show that the flag model admits a homogeneous solution for `mixed' Dirichlet-Neumann (DN) boundary conditions only for sufficiently large length $L$ and undergoes a phase transition from the phase of partly broken gauge symmetry ($U(1)$) to the symmetric phase ($U(1)\times U(1)$) for large $L$. On the other hand, the Grassmannian model has a detached phase with one massive and one massless non-zero condensates that completely break $U(2)$ gauge symmetry. This phase lives on a region of $L$ bounded from above and has to use the Robin boundary conditions. We also examine the L-dependence of the total energy and detect the linear growth inherent to confining string in all phases.

description: Photoelectron momentum distributions from strong-field ionization of carbonyl sulfide with 800 nm central-wavelength laser pulses at various peak intensities from $4.6$ to $13\times10^{13}$ W/cm$^2$ were recorded and analyzed regarding resonant Rydberg states and photoelectron orbital angular momentum. The evaluation of the differentials of the momentum distributions with respect to the peak intensity highly suppressed the impact of focal volume averaging and allowed for the unambiguous recognition of Freeman resonances. As a result, previously made assignments of photoelectron lines could be reassigned. An earlier reported empirical rule, which relates the initial state's orbital momentum and the minimum photon expense to ionize an ac Stark shifted atomic system to the observable dominant photoelectron orbital momentum, was confirmed for the molecular target.

description: Exotic decays of top partners in new bosons are the norm in realistic models of a composite Higgs. We focus on the custodial charge-$5/3$ partner, which normally decays exclusively into $tW^+$. The new channels include a colour-sextet, $X_{5/3} \to \bar{b} π_6$, as well as singly and doubly charged scalars, $X_{5/3} \to t ϕ^+$, $b ϕ^{++}$. We use existing same-sign lepton searches to show that the new final states are constrained at the same level as the standard one. At the same time, exotic final states also offer opportunities for improvement: examples include a hard photon in $X_{5/3}\rightarrow tϕ^+\rightarrow tW^+γ$ decays, and top-rich channels which arise in several exotic $X_{5/3}$ decays.

description: The SRS is a 2GeV synchrotron light source with 14 beamlines serving approximately 34 experimental stations. Control of the major elements of the beamlines (vacuum pumps, gauges, valves and radiation stops) is the responsibility of the main SRS Control System. As part of the long-term upgrade plan for the SRS Control System a large programme of work has been undertaken to modernize beamline control. This work included: development of Linux based PC front end computers to interface to the existing CAMAC I/O system, replacement of the user interface by graphical synoptic diagrams running on Windows NT PCs, development of an ActiveX control for parameter display/control and a cache server to reduce loading on the rest of the control system. This paper describes the major components of the project; the techniques used to manage the new PCs and discusses some of the problems encountered during development.

Politics of foreign direct investment in Australia, 1960-96

description: Foreign direct investment has played an important role in the Australian economy yet despite frequent public controversy there is still no general study of the politics of inward FDI in Australia. This thesis seeks to explain why Australia turned away from a long-established 'open door' policy towards FDI in the late 1960s only to liberalise policy again from the mid-1980s and why policy openness varied across sectors. In doing so the thesis tests the explanatory power of both private and public interest theories of FDI policy. Both accounts are grounded in a theory of political markets characterised by information shortages and political entrepreneurialism. This thesis concludes that Australia's FDI policy during 1960-96 principally reflected government attempts to make politically optimal compromises between competing conceptions of the public interest in relation to FDI. Yet rent seeking was rife and, to some degree, influenced popular and elite perceptions of the public interest. Liberal business constituencies and the imperative of growth-oriented policy strategies usually outweighed private interest suppliers of restrictive FDI policy although periodically the latter did find some influence. Private interests seeking restrictive policy were helped by shortages of information about the real costs and benefits of FDI, in the case of the mining industry in particular, and by popular concern about the cultural consequences of FDI in the case of the mass media. The public interest politics of FDI policy also proved to be inseparable from the use of restrictions on FDI as a second best solution to poor regulatory design, tariff policy and mismanagement of national resources. These findings about the politics of FDI in Australia suggest that when confronted by a weak economy most governments will deliver quite liberal policy in practice for all but the most politically sensitive sectors. The economic costs of economic nationalism may engender their own political momentum for the liberalisation of FDI policy. Yet the Australian experience also suggests that governments will be very hesitant to give up discretionary controls on FDI, such as the Foreign Investment Review Board. This is because they provide a mechanism for managing politically resilient economic nationalist sentiment in the electorate and for providing the odd favour to an influential private interest.

description: Smart polymers as ideal drug nanocarriers have attracted much attention due to the effective drug delivery, internalization and release once triggered by intracellular stimuli, as well as reduced cytotoxicity. We here reported the anionic micelle consisting of copolymer (PEG-b-PAsp) and a PBE (Phenylboronic Ester) group grafted, which can achieve fast response to intracellular ROS and enhanced anti-tumor activity. With this, PEG-b-PAsp-g-PBE/DOX system showed better tumor growth inhibition when studied on HeLa cell lines with high level of intracellular ROS and its subcutaneous tumor models. Additionally, the administration of PEG-b-PAsp-g-PBE/DOX did cause significantly lower systemic toxicity in comparison with free DOX. Hence, PEG-b-PAsp-g-PBE could be a highly efficient and safe nanocarrier to improve the efficacy of chemotherapeutic.

description: Although regular exercise improves overall well-being, increased physical activity results in enhanced breathing which consequently leads to elevated exposure to a variety of air pollutants producing adverse effects. It is well-known that one of these ambient air contaminants is ultrafine particles (UFP). Thus, this study aimed to (1) examine exposure to particle number concentrations (PNC) in size ranging from N20–1000 nm in different sport environments and (2) estimate the respective inhalation doses across varying activity scenarios based upon the World Health Organization recommendations for physical activity. PNC were continuously monitored (TSI P-Trak™ condensation particle counter) outdoors (Out1–Out2) and indoors (Ind1–Ind2; fitness clubs) over 4 weeks. Outdoor PNC (total median 12 563 # cm–3; means of 20 367 # cm–3 at Out1 and 7 122 # cm–3 at Out2) were approximately 1.6-fold higher than indoors (total median 7 653 # cm–3; means of 11 861 # cm–3 at Ind1 and 14 200 # cm–3 at Ind2). The lowest doses were inhaled during holistic group classes (7.91 × 107–1.87 × 108 # per kg body weight) whereas exercising with mixed cardio and strength training led to approximately 1.8-fold higher levels. In order to optimize the health benefit of exercises, environmental characteristics of the locations at which physical activities are conducted need to be considered.
The Binary Model of Physical Vacuum

description: The binary model of physical vacuum is considered. This model reveals unified cause-and-effect mechanism of electromagnetic and gravitational interactions. The model of binary vacuum does not identify physical vacuum to a substance as the model of mechanical ether does, but presents physical vacuum as the unity of two simultaneously everywhere existed non-structural electrical elementary media. They are just the same except for their signs. They diffusively and uniformly penetrate into each other. Each of them is continuousal and possesses the elastic modulus of dilatation and the elastic mutual-shearing modulus. The shearing-strain theory of elementary media describes all modern relative electrodynamics and answers the unknown before questions: how do the electric charges, electric and magnetic fields arrange in nature; what are the cause-and-effect relations in Coulomb and Lorentz forces; why are the electromagnetic waves transversal. The theory of monolithic (combined) deformations of world elementary media (near neutral bodies) is the theory of relative gravitation. In particular it determines unknown before gravitational-energy density, converts the experimental Newton law of gravitation into a speculative result.

description: In this paper, the performance of three deep learning methods for predicting short-term evolution and for reproducing the long-term statistics of a multi-scale spatio-temporal Lorenz 96 system is examined. The methods are: echo state network (a type of reservoir computing, RC-ESN), deep feed-forward artificial neural network (ANN), and recurrent neural network with long short-term memory (RNN-LSTM). This Lorenz 96 system has three tiers of nonlinearly interacting variables representing slow/large-scale ($X$), intermediate ($Y$), and fast/small-scale ($Z$) processes. For training or testing, only $X$ is available; $Y$ and $Z$ are never known or used. We show that RC-ESN substantially outperforms ANN and RNN-LSTM for short-term prediction, e.g., accurately forecasting the chaotic trajectories for hundreds of numerical solver's time steps, equivalent to several Lyapunov timescales. The RNN-LSTM and ANN show some prediction skills as well; RNN-LSTM bests ANN. Furthermore, even after losing the trajectory, data predicted by RC-ESN and RNN-LSTM have probability density functions (PDFs) that closely match the true PDF, even at the tails. The PDF of the data predicted using ANN, however, deviates from the true PDF. Implications, caveats, and applications to data-driven and data-assisted surrogate modeling of complex nonlinear dynamical systems such as weather/climate are discussed.

description: Prime ministerial power in the Australian federal context is somewhat constrained. This thesis investigates an Australian prime minister's power to achieve reform by examining Kevin Rudd's machinery changes to intergovernmental arrangements and his policy reform agenda in two key areas of shared responsibility. Rudd committed his government (2007-2010) to transforming the federation and pursuing a significant reform agenda using a strategy of cooperative federalism. Rudd's explicit invitation to states and territories to be partners in this reform appeared in contrast to ongoing Commonwealth centralisation of policy and recent decades of increasingly coercive intergovernmental relations. This study interrogates the notion of cooperative federalism which framed Rudd's approach to policy reform. It describes Rudd's centralising changes to the intergovernmental arrangements and examines his reform agenda in the areas of finance and health. Drawing on primary research of Rudd's parliamentary speeches and using a case study method, the research traces Rudd's reforms to intergovernmental finances and health from his pre-election commitments, through the policy development, to execution, focusing in particular on his engagement with the states and territories. The analysis shows that Rudd's policy solutions in finance and health were both centralist, but that the approach taken by him and his government differed across the two cases.

High-performance sampling of generic Determinantal Point Processes

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Determinantal Point Processes (DPPs) were introduced by Macchi as a model for repulsive (fermionic) particle distributions. But their recent popularization is largely due to their usefulness for encouraging diversity in the final stage of a recommender system. The standard sampling scheme for finite DPPs is a spectral decomposition followed by an equivalent of a randomly diagonally-pivoted Cholesky factorization of an orthogonal projection, which is only applicable to Hermitian kernels and has an expensive setup cost. Researchers have begun to connect DPP sampling to $LDL^H$ factorizations as a means of avoiding the initial spectral decomposition, but existing approaches have only outperformed the spectral decomposition approach in special circumstances, where the number of kept modes is a small percentage of the ground set size. This article proves that trivial modifications of $LU$ and $LDL^H$ factorizations yield efficient direct sampling schemes for non-Hermitian and Hermitian DPP kernels, respectively. Further, it is experimentally shown that even dynamically-scheduled, shared-memory parallelizations of high-performance dense and sparse-direct factorizations can be trivially modified to yield DPP sampling schemes with essentially identical performance. The software developed as part of this research, Catamari, https://hodgestar.com/catamari, is released under the Mozilla Public License v2.0. It contains header-only, C++14 plus OpenMP 4.0 implementations of dense and sparse-direct, Hermitian and non-Hermitian DPP samplers.

description: Recent rapid progress in time domain surveys makes it possible to detect various types of explosive transients in the Universe in large numbers, some of which will be gravitationally lensed into multiple images. Although a large number of strongly lensed distant galaxies and quasars have already been discovered, strong lensing of explosive transients opens up new applications, including improved measurements of cosmological parameters, powerful probes of small scale structure of the Universe, and new observational tests of dark matter scenarios, thanks to their rapidly evolving light curves as well as their compact sizes. In particular, compact sizes of emitting regions of these transient events indicate that wave optics effects play an important role in some cases, which can lead to totally new applications of these lensing events. Recently we have witnessed first discoveries of strongly lensed supernovae, and strong lensing events of other types of explosive transients such as gamma-ray bursts, fast radio bursts, and gravitational waves from compact binary mergers are expected to be observed soon. In this review article, we summarize the current state of research on strong gravitational lensing of explosive transients and discuss future prospects.

description: We propose a supersymmetric gradient flow equation in the four-dimensional Wess-Zumino model. The flow is constructed in two ways. One is based on the off-shell component fields and the other is based on the superfield formalism, in which the same result is provided. The obtained flow is supersymmetric because the flow time derivative and the supersymmetry transformation commute with each other. Solving the equation, we find that it has a damping oscillation with the flow time for nonzero mass, which is different from the Yang-Mills flow. The on-shell flow equation is also discussed.

We prove the matching conditions for both groups and give the corresponding formulae for evaluating the iterations or oracle calls required in the search computation. We also present how to adjust the phase angles in the generalized Grover operator to ensure the sure-success if minimal oracle calls are demanded in the search.

description: This thesis examines the archaeological record on the West Coast of the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia with a view to identifying the pattern of behaviour associated with sites present on this coast. The sites are notable in that they are extensive and feature high proportions of stone artefacts but contain little or no shell material. This thesis seeks to explain the virtual absence of shells by considering a number of environmental, behavioural, demographic and cultural issues. Is the archaeological record a product of post-depositional disturbance or resource availability, or did other environmental influences such as a shortage of water restrict adaptive behaviour so as to exclude or minimize interaction with the sea. Alternatively, is the subsistance strategy indicated by the archaeological record a result of other cultural influences. Ethnohistorical evidence is examined to investigate the subsistence patterns which operated on this coastline. Linguistic, technological and social factors which may have influenced the economic choices made by these coastal people are considered and compared with the archaeological record. The thesis then examines the interpretation of the West Coast evidence in the context of other coastal studies both in Australia and overseas to contribute to the current debate regarding the role of the sea in the evolution of hunter-gatherer subsistence economies.

Prolate dominance of nuclear shape caused by a strong interference between the effects of spin-orbit and l^2 terms of the Nilsson potential

description: The origin of the dominance of prolate shapes over oblate ones of the ground states of atomic nuclei is investigated with the Nilsson-Strutinsky method. The number of prolate nuclei among all the deformed even-even nuclei is calculated as a function of the strengths of the spin-orbit and the l^2 terms of the Nilsson potential. The latter simulates a square-well like radial profile of the mean potential. The ratio of prolate nuclei is 86% with the standard strengths corresponding to the actual atomic nuclei. By weakening the spin-orbit potential, the ratio oscillates strongly, having a local minimum value of 45% with a half of the standard strength and a local maximum value of 78% without the spin-orbit potential.

$P_c(4457)^+$, $P_c(4440)^+$, and $P_c(4312)^+$: molecules or compact pentaquarks?

description: In a chromomagnetic model, we analyse the properties of the newly observed $P_c(4457)^+$, $P_c(4440)^+$, and $P_c(4312)^+$ states. We estimate the masses of the $(uud)_{8_c}(c\bar{c})_{8_c}$ and $(uds)_{8_c}(c\bar{c})_{8_c}$ pentaquark states by considering the isospin breaking effects. Their values are determined by calculating mass distances from the $Σ_c^{++}D^-$ and $Ξ_c^{\prime+}D^-$ thresholds, respectively. It is found that the isospin breaking effects on the spectrum are small. From the uncertainty consideration and the rearrangement decay properties in a simple model, we find that it is possible to assign the $P_c(4457)^+$, $P_c(4440)^+$, and $P_c(4312)^+$ as $J^P=3/2^-$, $1/2^-$, and $3/2^-$ pentaquark states, respectively. The assignment in the molecule picture can be different, in particular for the $P_c(4312)^+$. The information from open-charm channels, e.g. ${\cal B}[P_c\toΣ_c^{++}D^-]/{\cal B}[P_c\to J/ψp]$, will play an important role in distinguishing the inner structures of the $P_c$ states. Discussions and predictions based on the calculations are also given.

description: A twelve month study was conducted on the phytoplankton of Lake Drummond and Washington and Jericho Ditches from December 1988 to November 1989. Surface water samples were collected for nutrient and chlorophyll analysis from June 1989 to November 1989. The dominant phytoplankton component was the pico-nanoplankton (< 3 micron) category. A total of 57 species were identified from Lake Drummond, 51 species from Washington Ditch, and 31 species from the Jericho Ditch. Three major phytoplankton groups were identified at these sites: bacillariophyceans, cyanophyceans and cryptophyceans. The dominant species was the diatom Asterionella formosa. Nutrient and chlorophyll concentrations increased from summer to fall. Based on nutrient and chlorophyll g concentrations and species diversity indices, Lake Drummond is classified as eutrophic.

description: An extensible power supply control and monitoring system has been developed at Fermilab's Technical Division as a result of requirements to control and monior power supplies of various types from within many different applications. This system, deployed as a network service, provides uniform programming and user interfaces for various types of power supplies, ranging from 20A to 30kA. It allows for a concurrent multi-user access, with at most one application granted controlling capabilities at a time. Users can control and monitor the state of a power supply as well as monitor generated current by: a) sending separate requests to the service via provided C/C+ and Java APIs, b) uploading current control programs written in a specialized ramp profile description language to be interpreted by the system, c) scripting using a provided set of programs, and d) using supplied GUIs. In addition, special programs are available to monitor and log all control requests being sent to the service and to provide traces of current. Also, a graphical simulator is provided to facilitate testing of ramp profiles developed by the user.

Motions of Classical Charged Tachyons
Creators: name: Davidson, Mark
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: It is shown by numerical simulation that classical charged tachyons have self-orbiting helical solutions in a narrow neighborhood of certain discrete values for the velocity when the electromagnetic interaction is described by Feynman-Wheeler electrodynamics. The force rapidly oscillates between attractive and repulsive as a function of velocity in this neighborhood. Causal electrodynamics is also considered, and in this case it is found that when the force is attractive the tachyon loses energy to radiation. Only certain narrow ranges of velocity give attractive forces, and a geometrical derivation of these special velocities is given. Possible implications of these results for hidden variable theories of quantum mechanics are conjectured.

Magic number behavior for heat capacities of medium sized classical Lennard-Jones clusters

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Chemical Physics (physics.chem-ph)

description: Monte Carlo methods were used to calculate heat capacities as functions of temperature for classical atomic clusters of aggregate sizes $25 \leq N \leq 60$ that were bound by pairwise Lennard-Jones potentials. The parallel tempering method was used to overcome convergence difficulties due to quasiergodicity in the solid-liquid phase-change regions. All of the clusters studied had pronounced peaks in their heat capacity curves, most of which corresponded to their solid-liquid phase-change regions. The heat capacity peak height and location exhibited two general trends as functions of cluster size: for $N = 25$ to 36, the peak temperature slowly increased, while the peak height slowly decreased, disappearing by $N = 37$; for $N = 30$, a very small secondary peak at very low temperature emerged and quickly increased in size and temperature as $N$ increased, becoming the dominant peak by $N = 36$. Superimposed on these general trends were smaller fluctuations in the peak heights that corresponded to ``magic number'' behavior, with local maxima found at $N = 36, 39, 43, 46$ and 49, and the largest peak found at $N = 55$. These magic numbers were a subset of the magic numbers found for other cluster properties, and can be largely understood in terms of the clusters' underlying geometries. Further insights into the melting behavior of these clusters were obtained from quench studies and by examining rms bond length fluctuations.
