The search for high-energy gamma-ray emission from the close binary system AR Scorpii using Fermi -LAT data
Creators: name: Kaplan, Quinton
name: Meintjes, Pieter
name: Van Heerden, Hendrik
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: AR Scorpii (AR Sco) is an enigmatic close binary system which is observable across most of the electromagnetic spectrum. Multi-wavelength emission consists of both thermal and non-thermal components, where pulsed non-thermal emission has been observed from radio to X-ray. The apparent lack of accretion in the system also suggests that the highly magnetic white dwarf is primarily spin-powered, similar to pulsars, where particles can be accelerated to produce non-thermal emission. The multi-wavelength nature from radio to X-ray of AR Sco has been extensively studied and presented since 2016, showing a clear non-thermal synchrotron component from optical to X-ray. However, the parameters and processes towards the high-energy regime still need to be clearly verified and explored. Hence, a search for non-thermal γ-ray emission from AR Sco using archival Fermi data from the past decade has been performed. By using updated Fermi -LAT software and Pass 8 analysis methods, low-level upper-limit emission has been observed above 100 MeV, with a possible low-level pulsed signal at the spin period (P s = 117 s) of the white dwarf. Given the results, the possibility of non-thermal emission at higher energies can not be excluded. An updated
 spectral energy distribution using Fermi -LAT data was also produced to serve as a template for future studies using more sensitive Cherenkov telescope detectors like e.g. the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA).

description: We study the 't Hooft coupling $g_{t}$ and the mass splitting of the ground-state baryons in a chiral quark model inspired by the large $N_{c}$ QCD. Depending on $g_{t}$ the Hartree wavefunction of light quark in baryons is used to map the mass hyperfine splittings for the octet and decuplet baryons. The 't Hooft coupling $g_{t}$ that reproduces the data of baryon masses is determined to be around $1.57$, which is small in the sense that $g_{t}^{2}/(4πN_{c})\ll $$1$.

description: Solar flares are energetic events taking place in the Sun's atmosphere, and their effects can greatly impact the environment of the surrounding planets. In particular, eruptive flares, as opposed to confined flares, launch coronal mass ejections into the interplanetary medium, and as such, are one of the main drivers of space weather. After briefly reviewing the main characteristics of solar flares, we summarize the processes that can account for the build up and release of energy during their evolution. In particular, we focus on the development of recent 3D numerical simulations that explain many of the observed flare features. These simulations can also provide predictions of the dynamical evolution of coronal and photospheric magnetic field. Here we present a few observational examples that, together with numerical modelling, point to the underlying physical mechanisms of the eruptions.

IMPORT SUBSTITUTION IN THE CONSTRUCTION SECTOR: THE CASE OF SELECTED BUILDING MATERIALS
Creators: name: Woldemariam, Martha Bisrat
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2011

description: This study investigates the domestic production, import and demand of cement, steel products and aluminum products. It assesses the foreign exchange spent for these materials, their import share and whether or not import substitution exists. Finally it predicts the import and demand for the next ten years and gives recommendations.

The major data source used for this study comes from Central Statistic Agency and Ethiopian Custom Authority. The study finds that the import share of all three categories of products is insignificant. Import substitution is only seen for steel products and almost all of the demand for cement and steel products of the country is fulfilled by domestic production, whereas all the demand of aluminum product is fulfilled using import. The foreign exchange spent for all three products is high, reaches 72 billion Dollars for the year 2001/02 Ethiopian Calendar.

description: In the emerging hybrid electricity market, mobile network operators (MNOs) of cellular networks can make day-ahead energy purchase commitments at low prices and real-time flexible energy purchase at high prices. To minimize electricity bills, it is essential for MNOs to jointly optimize the day-ahead and real-time energy purchase based on their time-varying wireless traffic load. In this paper, we consider two different MNOs coexisting in the same area, and exploit their collaboration in both energy purchase and wireless load sharing for energy cost saving. Specifically, we propose a new approach named energy group buying with load sharing, in which the two MNOs are aggregated as a single group to make the day-ahead and real-time energy purchase, and their base stations (BSs) share the wireless traffic to maximally turn lightly-loaded BSs into sleep mode. When the two MNOs belong to the same entity and aim to minimize their total energy cost, we use the two-stage stochastic programming to obtain the optimal day-ahead and real-time energy group buying jointly with wireless load sharing. When the two MNOs belong to different entities and are self-interested in minimizing their individual energy costs, we propose a novel repeated Nash bargaining scheme for them to negotiate and share their energy costs under energy group buying and load sharing. Our proposed repeated Nash bargaining scheme is shown to achieve Pareto-optimal and fair energy cost reductions for both MNOs.

description: Given 2-factors $R$ and $S$ of order $n$, let $r$ and $s$ be nonnegative integers with $r+s=\lfloor \frac{n-1}{2}\rfloor$, the Hamilton-Waterloo problem asks for a 2-factorization of $K_n$ if $n$ is odd, or of $K_n-I$ if $n$ is even, in which $r$ of its 2-factors are isomorphic to $R$ and the other $s$ 2-factors are isomorphic to $S$. In this paper, we solve the problem for the case of triangle-factors and heptagon-factors for odd $n$ with 3 possible exceptions when $n=21$.

Different RNA patterns of globin and non-globin 40S heterogeneous nuclear RNA-protein complexes in chicken reticulocyte nuclei
Creators: name: Huang, Hai mei

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1983

description: 40s hetergeneous nuclear RNA-protein complex (HnRNP) was isolated from chicken reticulocyte nuclei after digestion of RNA by the endogenous nuclease. The size of the total RNA and β globin RNA was compared by agarose and high resolution acrylamide gel electrophoresis. The results show that size of the total RNA ranges between 20 to 650 bases and the most prominent sizes are between 20 and 70–80 bases. The size of the RNA increases at roughly 10 base intervals between 40 and 70 bases on an acrylamide gel. The size of the β globin RNA is smaller (25–50 bases) than the total RNA and also the RNA pattern is considerably different from that of total RNA. This suggests that, although the overall structure of 40s HnRNP might be the same, there is significant differences in the interaction of globin RNA with HnRNP protein and that of non-globin RNA with HnRNP protein in chicken reticulocyte nuclei.

title: A refinement calculus for expressions
Creators: name: Flynn, Sharon
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 1997
Subjects: subject: Computer programs.

description: This thesis describes a calculus intended for the refinement of expressions, in particular the calculus provides a framework for the formal derivation of executable expressions from initial specifications. The approach taken follows and extends the work of Back, Morris and Morgan on the refinement calculus for imperative style programs. We contribute to the area by providing a refinement calculus of expressions with a simple semantics and support for the formulation and development of specifications in parts. We take the view that a refinement calculus consists of: a specification language, which usually includes constructs which are non-executable, but is a "super-language" of a programming language; a refinement relation between specifications, which possesses particular properties necessary for the refinement of specifications in a stepwise and piecewise manner; and a set of laws determining how such refinements may proceed. We describe a simple functional language of expressions which includes features for undefinedness, non-determinism and partiality. The added constructs allow the easy formulation of expressive and abstract specifications, giving maximum freedom to the implementor. The issue of methods to structure large specifications is addressed through the concept of partiality. We provide support for the construction of specifications in parts, together with operations to compose partial specifications to form the whole. We also consider how the state and exception monads, used to hide imperative features in pure functional programs, might be used similarly to structure specifications. A refinement relation between specifications is defined. A set of laws suitable for the manipulation and refinement of expressions is proposed. The expression language is given a simple denotational semantics, using powerdomain structures to capture non-determinism. This semantics allows the easy and intuitive formal definition of refinement, using the Smyth ordering for powerdomains, and facilitates the construction of the proofs of the proposed laws for the calculus.

description: The IrTe2 transition metal dichalcogenide undergoes a series of structural and electronic phase transitions when doped with Pt. The nature of each phase and the mechanism of the phase transitions have attracted much attention. In this paper, we report scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy studies of Pt doped IrTe2 with varied Pt contents. In pure IrTe2, we find that the ground state has a 1/6 superstructure, and the electronic structure is inconsistent with Fermi surface nesting induced charge density wave order. Upon Pt doping, the crystal structure changes to a 1/5 superstructure and then to a quasi-periodic hexagonal phase. First principles calculations show that the superstructures and electronic structures are determined by the global chemical strain and local impurity states that can be tuned systematically by Pt doping.

Cloning the gyrA gene of Bacillus subtilis

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1984

description: We have isolated an eight kilobase fragment of Bacillus subtilis DNA by specific integration and excision of a plasmid containing a sequence adjacent to ribosomal operon rrn O. The genetic locus of the cloned fragment was verified by linkage of the integrated vector to nearby genetic markers using both transduction and transformation. Functional gyrA activity encoded by this fragment complements E. coli gyrA mutants. Recombination between the Bacillus sequences and the E. coli chromosome did not occur. The Bacillus wild type gyrA gene, which confers sensitivity to nalidixic acid, is dominant in E. coli as is the E. coli gene. The cloned DNA precisely defines the physical location of the gyrA mutation on the B. subtilis chromosome. Since an analogous fragment from a nalidixic acid resistant strain has also been isolated, and shown to transform B. subtilis to nalidixic acid resistance, both alleles have been cloned.
The diagonal-traverse homology search algorithm for locating similarities between two sequences

description: We present a fast computer algorithm for finding homology between two DNA sequences. It generates a two-dimensional display in which a diagonal string of dots represents a stretch of homology between the two sequences. Our algorithm performs the search very rapidly, and has no internal data storage requirement except for the sequences themselves. These characteristics make it particularly well suited for execution on microcomputers. Without slowing execution, the matching criterion can be that a specified fraction of contiguous bases must be identical. Even with gapped sequences, we have found large search windows to be surprisingly good for detecting poor homologies with nearly complete background suppression. A diagonal search pattern is used that reports the finds in a compact and logically ordered form. A simple and rapid plotting algorithm for unsophisticated printers is also reported.

description: We put the data tables for the article ``Color confinement, chiral symmetry breaking, and catalytic effect induced by monopole and instanton creations (arXiv: 2203.11357)'' in this data file. This research is carried out to improve the previous study ``Monopoles and instanton effects in QCD [J. High Energy Phys. 09 (2020) 113].'' In this research, we use different kinds of lattice volumes and values of the lattice spacing and investigate the effects of the added monopoles and anti-monopoles and the instantons and anti-instantons that are created by the additional monopoles and anti-monopoles on observables, by numerical calculations of lattice gauge theory. Finally, we evaluate the observables at the continuum limit by interpolations and compare the numerical results with the predictions. This data file includes the computed results that are obtained using different kinds of lattice volumes and values of the lattice spacing. All tables correspond to the figures and contents in the article and the details are indicated in section 1.

The theory of population annealing is presented, and systematic and statistical errors are discussed. The behavior of the algorithm is studied in the context of large-scale simulations of the three-dimensional Ising spin glass and the performance of the algorithm is compared to parallel tempering. It is found that the two algorithms are similar in efficiency though with different strengths and weaknesses.

description: Voluntary control of vocal production is an essential component of the language faculty, which is thought to distinguish humans from other primates. Recent experiments have begun to reveal the capability of non-human primates to perform vocal control; however, the mechanisms underlying this ability remain unclear. Here, we revealed that Japanese macaque monkeys can learn to vocalize voluntarily through a different mechanism than that used for manual actions. The monkeys rapidly learned to touch a computer monitor when a visual stimulus was presented and showed a capacity for flexible adaptation, such that they reacted when the visual stimulus was shown at an unexpected time. By contrast, successful vocal training required additional time, and the monkeys exhibited difficulty with vocal execution when the visual stimulus appeared earlier than expected; this occurred regardless of extensive training. Thus, motor preparation before execution of an action may be a key factor in distinguishing vocalization from manual actions in monkeys; they do not exhibit a similar ability to perform motor preparation in the vocal domains. By performing direct comparisons, this study provides novel evidence regarding differences in motor control abilities between vocal and manual actions. Our findings support the suggestion that the functional expansion from hand to mouth might be a critical evolutionary event for the acquisition of voluntary control of vocalizations.

An examination of the compound by powder X-ray diffraction revealed that it crystallizes in the orthorhombic TiNiSi-type structure with the Pnma space group. The structure comprises alternately stacked layers of Mg and PtSi honeycomb network, which is reminiscent of MgB2, and the buckling of the honeycomb network causes orthorhombic distortion. Electrical and magnetic studies revealed that MgPtSi exhibited superconductivity with a transition temperature of 2.5 K. However, its isostructural compounds, namely, MgRhSi and MgIrSi, were not found to exhibit superconductivity.

description: It is nearly impossible to separate two interleaved phonebooks when held by their spines. A full understanding of this astonishing demonstration of solid friction in complex assemblies has remained elusive. In this Letter, we report on experiments with controlled booklets and show that the force required increases sharply with the number of sheets. A model captures the effect of the number of sheets, their thickness and the overlapping distance. Furthermore, the data collapse onto a self-similar master curve with one dimensionless amplification parameter. In addition to solving a long-standing familiar enigma, this model system provides a framework with which one can accurately measure friction forces and coefficients at low loads, and that has relevance to complex assemblies from the macro to the nanoscale.

description: The housing demand market in Ghana has a deficit of over two million units (2,000,000) due to many factors including affordability, accessibility and sustainability of suitable finance schemes.The study surveyed public sector workers in Ghana from all the five major sectors of the economy. Information were also gathered from industry sources to complement the primary sources. Statistical tools such as regression analysis, descriptive statistics and cross tabulation were used to find the relationships that exists between the independent and dependent variables. Logic model was used to show a visual illustration of the proposed housing demand loan scheme’s planned research and the intended results.The results of the study revealed that a positively relationship exist between the income and marital status of public sector workers and their choice of housing demand finance. The study further revealed that gender does not have any effect on the choice of public sector workers housing demand finance choice.Public sector workers were neutral about the services offered by the PSHLSB even though the scheme was designed for them. Several reasons may have accounted for this including accessibility and affordability of the scheme.The study concluded that no housing demand finance in Ghana is affordable, accessible and sustainable for public sector workers including the PSHLSB which has failed to achieve its intended purpose.The results of the study have important practical implications for public sector workers and managers of the Ghanaian housing industry. The development of sustainable, affordable and accessible housing demand loan schemes for public sector workers will help improve their conditions of service and standard of living. And also build decent communities and create jobs.The study contributed empirical evidence for the relationship between sustainability, affordable and accessible, and housing demand finance scheme for public sector workers in Ghana using the international evidence from three pension backed housing demand finance.

description: In vitro splicing of human beta-globin pre-mRNA can be fully inhibited by treatment of the splicing extract with polyclonal antibodies against hnRNP core proteins prior to the addition of pre-mRNA. Inhibition of the first step in the splicing pathway, cleavage at the 5' splice site and lariat formation, requires more antibodies than inhibition of the second step, cleavage at the 3' splice site and exon ligation. The anti-hnRNP antibodies can also inhibit the splicing reaction after the formation of the active nucleoprotein splicing complex which is known to occur during the initial lag period. Thus, hnRNP core proteins appear to be present in the complex that performs pre-mRNA splicing.

description: We study a problem of non-adiabatic superfluid dynamics of spin-orbit coupled neutral fermions in two spatial dimensions. We focus on the two cases when the out-of-equilibrium conditions are initiated either by a sudden change of the pairing strength or the population imbalance. For the case of zero population imbalance and within the mean-field approximation, the non-adiabatic evolution of the pairing amplitude in a collisionless regime can be found exactly by employing the method of Lax vector construction. Our main finding is that the presence of the spin-orbit coupling significantly reduces the region in the parameter space where a steady state with periodically oscillating pairing amplitude is realized. For the collisionless dynamics initiated by a sudden disappearance of the population imbalance we obtain an exact expression for the steady state pairing amplitude. In the general case of quenches to a state with finite population imbalance we show that there is a region in the steady state phase diagram where at long times the pairing amplitude dynamics is governed by the reduced number of the equations of motion in full analogy with exactly integrable case.

title: Oxford Town, Crown and People 1575-1640
Creators: name: Moore, Amy

description: This thesis addresses the role of city corporations in the wider early modern state, focusing particularly on Oxford from 1575 to 1640. City corporations have not hitherto received detailed scholarly attention in the historiography of early modern state formation. Early modern towns, although accommodating only a minority of the population, required careful governance and were acutely affected by many contemporary social problems. By examining Oxford corporation's response to these governmental issues, this thesis provides a broader perspective on the operation of early modern civic political power.

The thesis concentrates on three themes. Firstly, it examines the structure and processes of Oxford’s city governance, laying out how the corporation implemented statutory requirements and local initiatives. It stresses the corporation’s interactions with other centres of governance within the city, including the most significant: the university and the parishes. While the evidence often highlights conflict within the city, this thesis argues that the corporation recognised that collaboration with the university and the parishes was essential.

It then assesses the operation of this governing structure in two key components of state formation: the management of poverty and the implementation and enforcement of religious change. It argues that all parties in Oxford needed to participate if the various measures regarding religion and poverty were to be delivered, and the key priority of keeping public order for the corporation and the wider state was to be maintained. Finally, this thesis highlights the need to engender compliance amongst the townspeople. By utilising evidence from various examples of civic culture, this thesis establishes how the corporation sought to establish political legitimacy. Therefore, this thesis determines the role of Oxford corporation in various elements of state formation and reveals the city corporation as the missing component in our understanding of the development of the state in the localities.

description: Surfaces patterned with arrays of quasi-periodic air holes having conical depth profile have been studied for their effectiveness in suppressing air-substrate reflection in the wavelength range of 450-1350 nm (limited by our measurement). The role of quasi-periodic air-hole pattern, depth of holes and launch angle on the observed antireflection behavior are investigated. The average optical transmittance of the patterned quartz substrate at near normal incidence is more than 97% and reflectance is less than 2%. Patterned quartz surfaces with 450 nm thin graded rarefaction region maintain the antireflective property up to 30° (limited by our measurements) angle of incidence.

description: The purpose of this research was to assess the existing pharmaceuticals warehousing practices of Pharmaceuticals Fund and Supply Agency(PFSA). The researcher preferred to use a descriptive research type, which helps to use both qualitative and quantitative data analysis. The target population was 51 employees from warehousing and distribution unit of the case company. Questionnaire was used to collect primary data. Then, the collected data were analyzed quantitatively so that percentages, frequencies, mean, and standard deviation were used, and the analyzed data were presented in tables. The results of the study revealed that respondents rated the company’s overall warehousing practices below moderate except the packing and shipping activity which is little bit better practiced.
