description: We report a spectroscopic analysis of an EIT wave event that occurred in active region 11081 on 2010 June 12 and was associated with an M2.0 class flare. The wave propagated near circularly. The south-eastern part of the wave front passed over an upflow region nearby a magnetic bipole. Using EIS raster observations for this region, we studied the properties of plasma dynamics in the wave front, as well as the interaction between the wave and the upflow region. We found a weak blueshift for the Fe XII λ195.12 and Fe XIII λ202.04 lines in the wave front. The local velocity along the solar surface, which is deduced from the line of sight velocity in the wave front and the projection effect, is much lower than the typical propagation speed of the wave. A more interesting finding is that the upflow and non-thermal velocities in the upflow region are suddenly diminished after the transit of the wave front. This implies a significant change of magnetic field orientation when the wave passed. As the lines in the upflow region are redirected, the velocity along the line of sight is diminished as a result. We suggest that this scenario is more in accordance with what was proposed in the field-line stretching model of EIT waves.

description: We built a multiagent simulation of urban traffic to model both ordinary traffic and emergency or crisis mode traffic. This simulation first builds a modeled road network based on detailed geographical information. On this network, the simulation creates two populations of agents: the Transporters and the Mobiles. Transporters embody the roads themselves; they are utilitarian and meant to handle the low level realism of the simulation. Mobile agents embody the vehicles that circulate on the network. They have one or several destinations they try to reach using initially their beliefs of the structure of the network (length of the edges, speed limits, number of lanes etc.). Nonetheless, when confronted to a dynamic, emergent prone environment (other vehicles, unexpectedly closed ways or lanes, traffic jams etc.), the rather reactive agent will activate more cognitive modules to adapt its beliefs, desires and intentions. It may change its destination(s), change the tactics used to reach the destination (favoring less used roads, following other agents, using general headings), etc. We describe our current validation of our model and the next planned improvements, both in validation and in functionalities.

Investigating optical absorption in organic semiconductors using a coarse-grained approach
Creators: name: Virbule, Alise
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2021

description: Organic semiconductors have attracted great interest as candidate materials for solar cells, light-emitting diodes and other photonic applications. The performance of such devices depends upon the spectral range and strength of the optical absorption, as well as other material properties. Optical transition energies and strengths are controlled in turn by the chemical structure of the (macro)molecule and its conformation; however, the large conformational phase space of conjugated polymers means that the chemical structure – optical property relationship is not trivial to determine. In the solid state, the conformations and interactions of the molecules are a function of process conditions and hard to control, and yet they control the optoelectronic properties of the material. Whilst many studies have sought to develop and validate computationally efficient methods for prediction of transition energies, relatively few have addressed prediction of transition strength. Methods such as time dependent density functional theory are widely used to complement experimental studies but are too computationally expensive to access the length scales required to fully explain the observed structure-property relationships, especially for polymers with large repeat units or complex phase behaviour. Coarse-grained models of optical properties such as tight-binding exciton models can be used to examine the structure-property relationships at longer length scales, but these use approximations to the electron-hole interactions that do not accurately reproduce the experimentally observed trends in absorption strength as a function of molecular structure. I therefore implement a coarse-grained model using parameters from ab initio calculations as a tool to further our understanding of the relationship between the conformation of pi-conjugated macromolecules and their optical properties. I apply this approach to study two conjugated polymers and show how effects of conformational changes on their optical absorption spectra can be linked to changes in the parameters that characterise the electronic intermonomer interactions in the model.

description: Automatic generation of software code from system design models remains an actively explored research area for the past several years. A number of tools are currently available to facilitate and automate the task of generating code from software models. To the best of our knowledge, existing software tools rely on an explicitly defined transformation rule set to perform the model-to-code transformation process. In this paper, we introduce a novel tool named Code Swarm, abbreviated as CodS, that automatically generates implementation code from system design models by utilizing a swarm-based approach. Specifically, CodS is capable of generating Java code from the class and state models of the software system by making use of the previously solved model-to-code transformation examples. Our tool enables the designers to specify behavioural actions in the input models using the Action Specification Language (ASL). We use an industrial case study of the Elevator Control System (ECS) to perform the experimental validation of our tool. Our results indicate that the code generated by CodS is correct and consistent with the input design models. CodS performs the process of automatic code generation without taking the explicit transformation rule set or languages metamodels information as input, which distinguishes it from all the existing automatic code generation tools.

description: Relying heavily on the personal documents created by Canadian soldiers both contemporary to and following the First World War – letters, memoirs, diaries and interview transcripts – Stripes, Pips and Crowns addresses a noticeable gap in Canadian historiography by examining the manner in which leaders and followers interacted with one another in a variety of settings and the probable results thereof. Leadership at the lower levels of command in the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF), involving men holding the rank of lieutenant-colonel and below, was a multifaceted and complex phenomenon. So much more than the simple transactional exchange of ordering and obeying, it encompassed, in addition to other social dynamics not addressed here: i) paternalism (the care and attention that a superior gave his subordinates); ii) power (understood, in all its many forms, to be “the capacity of some persons to produce intended and foreseen effects on others”); and iii) the negotiated order (an unwritten exchange whereby disciplinary concessions were “traded” for later performance). Such dynamics significantly influenced the nature of the relationships that prevailed between men of dissimilar (and occasionally similar) rank. Perhaps nowhere than in the very close association that existed between an officer and his personal servant (batman) were these three phenomena more obviously manifested. By uncovering some of the mechanisms through which leaders interacted with their followers, and vice-versa, it becomes readily apparent that soldiers of inferior rank had a degree of agency with which they could influence their immediate surroundings and the individuals set over them; that leaders who were somewhat “less military” with their followers than what was expected of them could actually forge exceedingly strong teams in comparison to their confreres who were devoutly “regimental” in their comportment; that evinced styles of leadership were context-dependent; and that, concerning leadership specifically, the army was not so uniform and monolithic as is commonly assumed. While not a totally comprehensive discussion of lower-level leadership, Stripes, Pips and Crowns ultimately suggests that the success and effectiveness of the Canadian Corps in battle was partially due to the nature and strength of the relationships that existed between leaders and followers throughout the chain of command.

Improvement, validation, and implementation of predictive models on full scale anaerobic digestion assets
Creators: name: Oxtoby, Steven John
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: Anaerobic digestion (AD) is the most extensively used method of sewage sludge treatment in the UK, but there is a lack of practical tools available to aid operators in sewage sludge AD optimisation. This could be achieved through a modelling approach to optimise reactor loading rates, and conditions. However, current models of the AD process, such as Anaerobic Digestion Model 1 (ADM1) approach this problem by representing the fundamental biochemical and microbiology processes intrinsic to the process, which is too complex for practical application within an industrial context. A more practicable modelling system is required for industrial sewage sludge AD optimisation. Giacalone (2018) developed a sewage sludge AD model based on bench scale experimentation, to quantify the interactive effects of different major operational variables, and fundamental relationships representing first order degradation in a continuously stirred tank reactor with input variables including digester temperature, feed dry solids (DS), primary fraction, biomethane potential (BMP) and C, H and N fractions. By extensive sampling, and data cross checking, data sets were generated from 13 sewage treatment works (6 conventional and 7 advanced digestion sites), covering a wide range of digestion conditions. Key model outputs including biogas yield (BGY) and digestate ammonium-N (NH¬4-N) predictions were validated, and predictions of digestate DS were indicative of full scale performance. The ADFUN model can be adapted to represent other sludge type as predictions are based on fundamental biological and chemical sludge properties, therefore, the model was applied to estimate the BGY from AD of novel sludge types (granular and integrated fixed film sludges) in bench scale experiments with relative success. The model was also used to predict the biogas and financial benefits of digester optimisation varying scenarios. The model was effective at predicting the full-scale AD process, and applying optimised process conditions predicted by the model yields a benefit of up to 20 Nm3/tDS.

The particles in this model must be self-organized repetitive structures. The dynamics of this model is a stochastic sequential growth dynamics. New vertexes are added one by one. The probability of this addition depends on the structure of existed graph. The particular case of the dynamics is considered. The numerical simulation provides some symptoms of self-organization.

description: We present optical investigations of rectangular surface plasmon polariton waveguides lithographically defined on GaAs substrates. The plasmon propagation length is directly determined using a confocal microscope, with independent polarization control in both excitation and detection channels. Surface plasmon polaritons are launched along the waveguide using a lithographically defined defect at one end. At the remote end of the waveguide they scatter into the far-field, where they are imaged using a CCD camera. By monitoring the length dependence of the intensity of scattered light from the waveguide end, we directly extract the propagation length, obtaining values ranging from LSPP = 10-40 μm depending on the waveguide width (w=2-5 μm) and excitation wavelength (760-920 nm). Results are in good accord with theoretical expectations demonstrating the high quality of the lithographically defined structures. The results obtained are of strong relevance for the development of future semiconductor based integrated plasmonic technologies.
Pointwise Convergence of Dyadic Partial Sums of Almost Periodic Fourier Series

description: It is a classical result that dyadic partial sums of the Fourier series of functions $f \in L^p(\mathbb{T})$ converge almost everywhere for $p \in (1, \infty)$. In 1968, E. A. Bredihina established an analogous result for functions belonging to the Stepanov space of almost periodic functions $S^2$ whose Fourier exponents satisfy a natural separation condition. Here, the maximal operator corresponding to dyadic partial summation of almost periodic Fourier series is bounded on the Stepanov spaces $S^{2^k}$, $k \in \mathbb{N}$ for functions satisfying the same condition; Bredihina's result follows as a consequence. In the process of establishing these bounds, some general results are obtained which will facilitate further work on operator bounds and convergence issues in Stepanov spaces. These include a boundedness theorem for the Hilbert transform and a theorem of Littlewood--Paley type. An improvement of "$S^{2^k}$, $k \in \mathbb{N}$" to "$S^p$, $p \in (1, \infty)$" is also seen to follow from a natural conjecture on the boundedness of the Hilbert transform.

description: This research tackles the question: what is the status of citizen participation in the development of sustainability planning in Alberta, considering both the process and the output? In Alberta, professional and academic attention to citizen participation is occurring in tandem with government support for sustainability planning initiatives. As a result of this endorsement many Albertan communities have had the opportunity to develop a range of sustainability plans. An environmental scan of sustainability planning activity in Alberta was completed, gathering stories from over 20 small-medium sized communities, along with a case study analysis of two communities. The results illustrate that a patchwork is emerging across Alberta, municipalities are adapting a range of sustainable planning process to make them work in their contexts. These place-based approaches can be knitted together to indicate clear shift towards more participatory planning that concerns itself with the long-term vitality of communities’ futures.

description: We investigate two solvable models for Bose-Einstein condensates and extract physical information by studying the structure of the solutions of their Bethe ansatz equations. A careful observation of these solutions for the ground state of both models, as we vary some parameters of the Hamiltonian, suggests a connection between the behavior of the roots of the Bethe ansatz equations and the physical behavior of the models. Then, by the use of standard techniques for approaching quantum phase transition - gap, entanglement and fidelity - we find that the change in the scenery in the roots of the Bethe ansatz equations is directly related to a quantum phase transition, thus providing an alternative method for its detection.

These solutions are obtained by generalizing to (3+1) dimensions the techniques well established for the two dimensional CP^N models. We show that as the total energy of these solutions is infinite, they describe evolving vortices and anti-vortices with the energy density of some configurations varying in time. We also make some further observations about the dynamics of these vortices.

Climate Change Attribution Using Empirical Decomposition of Climatic Data
Creators: name: Loehle, Craig
name: Scafetta, Nicola
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Geophysics (physics.geo-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The climate change attribution problem is addressed using empirical decomposition. Cycles in solar motion and activity of 60 and 20 years were used to develop an empirical model of Earth temperature variations. The model was fit to the Hadley global temperature data up to 1950 (time period before anthropogenic emissions became the dominant forcing mechanism), and then extrapolated from 1951 to 2009. After subtraction of the model, the residuals showed an approximate linear upward trend after 1942. Herein we assume that the residual upward warming observed during the second half of the 20th century has been mostly induced by a worldwide rapid increase of anthropogenic emissions, urbanization and land use change. The warming observed before 1942 is relatively small and it is assumed to have been mostly naturally induced by a climatic recovery since the Little Ice Age of the 17th century and the Dalton Minimum at the beginning of the 19th century. The resulting full natural plus anthropogenic model fits the entire 160 year record very well. Residual analysis does not provide any evidence for a substantial cooling effect due to sulfate aerosols from 1940 to 1970. The cooling observed during that period may be due to a natural 60-year cycle, which is visible in the global temperature since 1850 and has been observed also in numerous multisecular climatic records. New solar activity proxy models are developed that suggest a mechanism for both the 60-year climate cycle and a portion of the long-term warming trend. Our results suggest that because current models underestimate the strength of natural multidecadal cycles in the temperature records, the anthropogenic contribution to climate change since 1970 should be around half of that previously claimed by the IPCC [2007]. A 21st Century forecast suggests that climate may warm less than 1^{\circ}C by 2100.

description: Multicopper oxidases (MCO) feature a complex active site which contains a T1 copper center and a trinuclear center responsible for the binding and reduction of oxygen to water. In this thesis we apply novel methods based on density functional theory (DFT) for studies of the copper centers found in MCO. The absorption, circular dichroism, magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) and electron paramagnetic resonance parameters of models of the T1 copper site were calculated and compared to experimentally measured values. The observed deviations of the calculated excitation energies were discussed as a result of deficiencies in the used computational method (time dependent DFT). The spin-spin coupling interactions in some binuclear copper models which resemble the T3 site of the trinuclear copper center, as well as two synthetic models of the native intermediate (NI) of MCO were studied successfully with the second order spin-flip constricted variational DFT (SF-CV(2)-DFT). In addition, the MCD spectrum of one of the NI models was simulated in the presence of zero-field splitting and alternative assignments have been suggested for some of the spectral bands. Finally, the orientation of the oxygen moiety in the peroxide intermediate (PI) of MCO relative to the trinuclear copper center has been studied with SF-CV(2)-DFT, conventional DFT and hybrid quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics. It was determined that the formation of a fully bridged structure arises due to coordination unsaturation of the three copper atoms, rather than the influence of the second coordination sphere. Studies with the extended transition state - natural orbitals for chemical valence method of the spin density redistribution in the trinuclear center upon oxygen binding revealed that all copper atoms participate in the reduction of O2 and are partially oxidized in the PI.

description: The selenoenzyme glutathione peroxidase protects against oxidative stress by reducing peroxides in the presence of glutathione, a tripeptide thiol. Under conditions of extreme oxidative stress, for example during ischemic reperfusion, this process can become overwhelmed. Glutathione peroxidase mimetics are organoselenium compounds which catalytically destroy peroxides and can be used to treat oxidative stress associated with ischemic reperfusion and related conditions. The majority of this Thesis describes the design of efficacious glutathione peroxidase mimetics. An investigation of substituent effects upon the glutathione peroxidase-like activity of aromatic cyclic seleninate esters and spirodioxyselenuranes was initiated. It was found that para-substitution with electron-donating groups resulted in the greatest increase in catalytic activity. Hammett analysis established that the rate-determining step in each compound’s catalytic cycle was the oxidation of Se(II) to Se(IV). Overall, para-methoxy substitution caused the greatest increase in thiol peroxidase activity, while dimethoxy and trimethoxy substitution did not ensure superior thiol peroxidase activity. Included in this study were 3-hydroxypropyl and 2,3-dihydroxypropyl (2-hydroxymethyl)phenyl selenides, which are new classes of glutathione peroxidase mimetics that displayed strong peroxide destroying activity. The former class of compounds includes the most active organoselenium glutathione peroxidase mimetic prepared in our group to date, while members of the latter class are sufficiently water soluble to allow for their activity to be monitored in aqueous environments. Additionally, naphthalene peri-diselenides were found to have significantly improved thiol peroxidase activity relative to acyclic diselenides. This was due to the severely reduced dihedral angle found in the naphthalene peri-diselenides, which leads to a destabilized ground state, lower ionization potential and an increased rate of reaction with peroxides. These diselenides also produced stable charge-transfer complexes with tetracyanoquinodimethane that are of potential interest as photovoltaic materials. Finally, configurational stability of the cyclic seleninate esters and spirodioxyselenuranes was investigated by variable-temperature NMR spectroscopy. These compounds were configurationally stable at high temperatures, while the spirodioxyselenuranes displayed unexpected proton NMR behaviour, caused by temperature-dependant chemical shifts.
Urban change and transportation vulnerability to earthquakes : the case of Metro Vancouver
Creators: name: Pathman, Karthick
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: A convergence of several factors has made Metro Vancouver’s transportation system vulnerable to earthquakes. Unfortunately, traditional post-disaster evaluations are often inadequate as they undervalue regional dimensions of transportation quality. After a fairly basic examination of ten of Metro Vancouver’s critical pieces of bridge infrastructure, results suggest that the transportation system will perform reasonably well when exposed to earthquakes with magnitudes between 4 and 8. However, certain damage outcomes leave many areas with limited accessibility. In particular, the simple sampling analysis suggests that the four most frequent damage outcomes - the loss of the Lion’s Gate, Oak Street, Arthur Laing, and Alex Fraser Bridges, respectively - present some interesting results. The Oak Street and Arthur Laing Bridge damage outcomes appear to cause minimal travel disruption likely due to relatively high levels of network redundancy. Conversely, the loss of the Lion’s Gate Bridge produces relatively much harsher diminished transportation performance. Furthermore, after observing transportation performance over time between 2004 and 2021, it would appear the region is at risk of suffering from diminished transportation quality as a consequence of land-use changes. These could have significant social and economical consequences. Overall, perhaps the most valuable output of this research is the formulation of a methodological framework to study post-earthquake transportation performance in Metro Vancouver. Another novelty of this research is the comparative study of earthquake risks in past and future regional environments. The paper also proposes some new methods for reducing post-earthquake transportation disruption. In particular this research suggests the use of targeted transportation demand management (TDM) policies to reduce strain on transportation networks prior to and following an earthquake. These are policies that could be included in municipal or regional disaster management and transportation planning frameworks.

description: The Dyson-Schwinger equation for the ghost-gluon vertex of the Hamiltonian approach to Yang-Mills theory in Coulomb gauge is solved at one-loop level using as input the non-perturbative ghost and gluon propagators previously determined within the variational approach. The obtained ghost-gluon vertex is IR finite but IR enhanced compared to the bare one by 15% to 25%, depending on the kinematical momentum regime.

description: Recent technological advancements show promise in leveraging quantum mechanical phenomena for computation. This brings substantial speed-ups to problems that are once considered to be intractable in the classical world. However, the physical realization of quantum computers is still far away from us, and a majority of research work is done using quantum simulators running on classical computers. Classical computers face a critical obstacle in simulating quantum algorithms. Quantum states reside in a Hilbert space whose size grows exponentially to the number of subsystems, i.e., qubits. As a result, the straightforward statevector approach does not scale due to the exponential growth of the memory requirement. Decision diagrams have gained attention in recent years for representing quantum states and operations in quantum simulations. The main advantage of this approach is its ability to exploit redundancy. However, mainstream quantum simulators still rely on statevectors or tensor networks. We consider the absence of decision diagrams due to the lack of parallelization strategies. This work explores several strategies for parallelizing decision diagram operations, specifically for quantum simulations. We propose optimal parallelization strategies. Based on the experiment results, our parallelization strategy achieves a 2-3 times faster simulation of Grover's algorithm and random circuits than the state-of-the-art single-thread DD-based simulator DDSIM.

description: We present for the first time a detailed study of the properties of molecular gas in metal-rich environments such as early-type galaxies (ETGs). We have explored Photon-Dominated Region (PDR) chemistry for a wide range of physical conditions likely to be appropriate for these sources. We derive fractional abundances of the 20 most chemically reactive species as a function of the metallicity, as a function of the optical depth and for various volume number gas densities, Far-Ultra Violet (FUV) radiation fields and cosmic ray ionisation rates. We also investigate the response of the chemistry to the changes in $α-$element enhancement as seen in ETGs. We find that the fractional abundances of CS, H$_{2}$S, H$_{2}$CS, H$_{2}$O, H$_{3}$O$^{+}$, HCO$^{+}$ and H$_{2}$CN seem invariant to an increase of metallicity whereas C$^{+}$, CO, C$_{2}$H, CN, HCN, HNC and OCS appear to be the species most sensitive to this change. The most sensitive species to the change in the fractional abundance of $α-$elements are C$^{+}$, C, CN, HCN, HNC, SO, SO$_{2}$, H$_{2}$O and CS. Finally, we provide line brightness ratios for the most abundant species, especially in the range observable with ALMA. Discussion of favorable line ratios to use for the estimation of super-solar metallicities and $α$-elements are also provided.

description: The overall goal of this thesis was to identify which voltage-gated Ca2+ channels are expressed in rat cerebral arterial smooth muscle and to determine their contributions to myogenic tone regulation. We began by exploring which voltage-gated Ca2+ channels are expressed in cerebral arterial smooth muscle. A combination of molecular, electrophysiological and functional measurements revealed the presence of L- (CaV1.2) and T-type (CaV3.1 and CaV3.2) Ca2+ channel subtypes in rat cerebral arteries. Both types contribute to arterial tone development, although the contribution of the L-type channels to tone development is greater. We then investigated the role of a specific T-type Ca2+ channel subtype, CaV3.2, in cerebral arterial smooth muscle by functional assessment and a structural approach using immunohistochemistry, proximity ligation assay, electron-tomography, and immunogold labeling, combined with computational modeling and electrophysiological measurements. Results indicate that Ca2+ influx through CaV3.2 channels elicits dilation by activating ryanodine receptors and inducing Ca2+ sparks, localized events that activate BKCa channels. In conclusion this work provided evidence for the presence of different types of voltage-gated Ca2+ channels and provided evidence of their diverse functional roles in regulating myogenic tone in rat cerebral arteries. Overall, the conclusions indicate the importance of the different functional roles of voltage-gated Ca2+ channels, which have substantial physiological relevance to the function of the cerebral vasculature.

description: The transversity generalized parton distributions (tGPDs) of the the pion, involving matrix elements of the tensor bilocal quark current, are analyzed in chiral quark models. We apply the nonlocal chiral models involving a momentum-dependent quark mass, as well as the local Nambu--Jona-Lasinio with the Pauli-Villars regularization to calculate the pion tGPDs, as well as related quantities following from restrained kinematics, evaluation of moments, or taking the Fourier-Bessel transforms to the impact-parameter space. The obtained distributions satisfy the formal requirements, such as proper support and polynomiality, following from Lorentz covariance. We carry out the leading-order QCD evolution from the low quark-model scale to higher lattice scales, applying the method of Kivel and Mankiewicz. We evaluate several lowest-order generalized transversity form factors, accessible from the recent lattice QCD calculations. These form factors, after evolution, agree properly with the lattice data, in support of the fact that the spontaneously broken chiral symmetry is the key element also in the evaluation of the transversity observables.

title:  Vendite a domicilio e piramidali: una disciplina ancora attuale. Le nuove fattispecie all’attenzione dell’AGCM

description: Il saggio si propone di analizzare la perdurante attualità della disciplina della vendita diretta a domicilio e delle c.d. vendite piramidali, attraverso l’esame dell’evoluzione della normativa in materia, il confronto con la disciplina del Codice del consumo e la trattazione di casi oggetto dei provvedimenti dell’Autorità Garante della Concorrenza e del Mercato. L’indagine evidenzia, in particolare, che la vendita diretta è tale quando persegue lo scopo di avvicinare, per il tramite della figura dell’incaricato alla vendita, il produttore al consumatore finale e, pertanto, deve ritenersi consentita nei soli casi in cui risulti svolta in conformità alle prescrizioni contenute nella legge 17 agosto 2005, n. 173. Le vendite piramidali, invece, sono volte unicamente a moltiplicare i livelli di vendita, attraverso la promozione e la realizzazione di attività e di strutture di vendita nelle quali l’incentivo economico primario dei componenti la struttura si fonda sul mero reclutamento di nuovi soggetti e non sulla loro capacità di vendere o promuovere la vendita di beni o servizi. Vengono quindi analizzate le norme che vietano il compimento di siffatte operazioni, i rimedi civilistici esperibili, anche alla luce della disciplina sulle pratiche commerciali scorrette, e il sistema di sanzioni penali e amministrative predisposto dalla normativa in esame.

description: We perform, with the help of cloud computing resources, extensive Langevin simulations which provide compelling evidence in favor of a general markovian framework for unbiased polymer translocation. Our statistical analysis consists of careful evaluations of (i) two-point correlation functions of the translocation coordinate and (ii) the empirical probabilities of complete polymer translocation (taken as a function of the initial number of monomers on a given side of the membrane). We find good agreement with predictions derived from the Markov chain approach recently addressed in the literature by the present authors.

description: We present the stellar velocity dispersion measurements for 5 Luminous Compact Galaxies (LCGs) at z=0.5-0.7. These galaxies are vigorously forming stars with average SFR $\sim$ 40 M$_{\odot}$/yr. We find that their velocity dispersions range from $\sim137\ \rm{km/s}$ to $260\ \rm{km/s}$, while their stellar masses range between $4\times 10^{9}$ and $10^{11}$ M$_{\odot}$. If these LCGs evolve passively after this major burst of star formation, their masses and velocity dispersions, as well as their evolved colours and luminosities are most consistent with the values characteristic of early-type spiral galaxies today.
