Genetic analysis of longevity in the Canadian and New Zealand dairy herds
Creators: name: Mwansa, Pius Bwalya
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Two longevity measures, duration of productive life (DP) and duration of total life (DT) were investigated. Within each of these measures, two traits were defined based on the definition of failure of the cows. The first definition considered cows to have failed only if they were disposed of due to involuntary reasons giving functional duration of productive life (/DP). The second considered cows to have failed regardless of whether disposal was voluntary or otherwise yielding true duration of productive life (rDP). The same scheme was followed when defining functional duration of total life (/DT) and true duration of total life (/DT). These four traits were studied by modeling the hazard rate of daughters of Canadian and New Zealand Holstein sires. The data used was derived from a field trial involving the mating of 20 proven Holstein sires from each country to Holstein cows in 20 New Zealand and 10 Canadian herds. The New Zealand data set consisted of 898 daughters of Canadian and New Zealand sires. In Canada, 239 daughters of Canadian and New Zealand sires were available. In order to measure the cow's true and functional duration of productive and total life, Cox's proportional hazard models were constructed In both Canada and New Zealand, daughters of Native sires had lower hazard rates. The results suggested that daughters of imported sires were culled at higher rates relative to daughters of native sires. Heritabilities for the traits studied were estimated and ranged from 0.03 to 0.29. The results from analysis of genetic correlations between the four traits in the same environment suggested that it is not the measure of longevity that is important but the definition of failure in the Canadian environment. Genetic correlations between the same traits in different environments suggested the existence of genotype by environmental interactions at both macro and micro levels suggesting that sires must be evaluated for superiority of survival traits in the environment within which their progeny are expected to perform.

Recorded as a number of short segments, collectively these files can probably be considered a single text. Verdena first discusses bad things happening in the world, including the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan, then segues to old people's prophecies about the spoiling of the world and the return of the Across-the-Sea-Old-Man (VP-010511-49 through VP-010511-54). She then talks about how life in the old days was better, when people followed various Indian laws and respected old people (VP-010511-54 and VP-010511-55). She observes that people nowadays don't respect old people like they used to, then expresses regrets about putting her stepfather in a care facility (VP-010511-56). She discusses her children (VP-010511-57), activities she enjoys and jobs she's had (VP-010511-58), her life in Oregon, and the reasons she left Hoopa Valley (VP-010511-59 through VP-010511-62). In the last three files, she discusses her work with students trying to learn the language (VP-010511-63 through VP-010511-65).

description: Future technologies underpinning high-performance optical communications, ultrafast computations and compact biosensing will rely on densely packed reconfigurable optical circuitry based on nanophotonics. For many years, plasmonics was considered as the only available platform for nanoscale optics, but the recently emerged novel field of Mie resonant metaphotonics provides more practical alternatives for nanoscale optics by employing resonances in high-index dielectric nanoparticles and structures. In this mini-review we highlight some recent trends in the physics of dielectric Mie-resonant nanostructures with high quality factor (Q factor) for efficient spatial and temporal control of light by employing multipolar resonances and the bound states in the continuum. We discuss a few applications of these concepts to nonlinear optics, nanolasers, subwavelength waveguiding, and sensing.

description: Given their substantial success in addressing a wide range of computer vision challenges, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are increasingly being used in smart home applications, with many of these applications relying on the automatic recognition of human activities. In this context, low-power radar devices have recently gained in popularity as recording sensors, given that the usage of these devices allows mitigating a number of privacy concerns, a key issue when making use of conventional video cameras. Another concern that is often cited when designing smart home applications is the resilience of these applications against cyberattacks. It is, for instance, well-known that the combination of images and CNNs is vulnerable against adversarial examples, mischievous data points that force machine learning models to generate wrong classifications during testing time. In this paper, we investigate the vulnerability of radar-based CNNs to adversarial attacks, and where these radar-based CNNs have been designed to recognize human gestures. Through experiments with four unique threat models, we show that radar-based CNNs are susceptible to both white- and black-box adversarial attacks. We also expose the existence of an extreme adversarial attack case, where it is possible to change the prediction made by the radar-based CNNs by only perturbing the padding of the inputs, without touching the frames where the action itself occurs. Moreover, we observe that gradient-based attacks exercise perturbation not randomly, but on important features of the input data. We highlight these important features by making use of Grad-CAM, a popular neural network interpretability method, hereby showing the connection between adversarial perturbation and prediction interpretability.

title: MOLECULAR ECOLOGY OF CHIGGER MITES (ACARI: TROMBICULIDAE) AND ASSOCIATED BACTERIA IN THAILAND
Creators: name: Chaisiri, K
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2017

description: Chiggers are the tiny six-legged larval stage of mites in the family Trombiculidae. These mites, particularly the genus Leptotrombidium, act as important vectors of Orientia tsutsugamushi, the causative agent of scrub typhus disease in the Asia-Pacific region (including Thailand). Although the medical impact of these mites has been recognized in the country due to the increasing incidence of the disease in humans, knowledge of the ecology and epidemiological role of these mites is still very limited to date. A systematic review of mite-associated bacteria was conducted from 193 publications (1964 - January 2015) providing a reference database of bacteria found in mites of agricultural, veterinary and medical importance. Approximately 150 bacterial species were reported from 143 mite species with Cardinium, Wolbachia and Orientia as the dominant genera. Nationwide field sampling of small mammals from 13 locations in Thailand revealed a high diversity of chigger mites. From approximately 16,000 mites isolated from 18 host species examined (1,574 individual animals), 38 chigger species were found including three species new to science (i.e., Trombiculindus kosapani n. sp., Helenicula naresuani n. sp. and Walchia chavali n. sp.) and 10 new records for the first time in the country. Brief taxonomic information for the morphological identification of chiggers is provided. A combination of autofluorescent and brightfield microscopy was demonstrated to be a novel approach to study both the morphology and DNA profile of the same individual chigger. Most chigger species showed low host specificity. The diversity of chiggers on hosts was influenced by host intrinsic (i.e., host phylogeny and maturity) and extrinsic factors (i.e., habitat and geographical location). Chigger species richness and host-chigger network connectance were found to be interrelated variables explaining human scrub typhus incidence in Thailand. Chigger-associated bacteria were investigated for the first time using an Illumina MiSeq 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing approach. DNA of O. tsutsugamushi was detected in the chigger population as expected. In addition to O. tsutsugamushi, Borrelia and Mycobacterium were identified aspotential pathogens of human and animals. Potential symbiotic bacteria of arthropods; e.g., Candidatus Cardinium, Pseudonocardia, Rickettsiella and Wolbachia were also discovered for the first time in chiggers. An important technical limitation was that chigger DNA starting quantity (individual specimens versus pooled mites) was found to have a significant impact on the apparent microbiome profile. These outcomes from the studies of chigger taxonomy and the ecology of host-chigger interactions, as well as the composition of the microbiome in chiggers, are of key importance to the chigger research field, providing essential information for disease epidemiology with vector control implications.

description: The linear optical creation of Gaussian cluster states, a potential resource for universal quantum computation, is investigated. We show that for any Gaussian cluster state, the canonical generation scheme in terms of QND-type interactions, can be entirely replaced by off-line squeezers and beam splitters. Moreover, we find that, in terms of squeezing resources, the canonical states are rather wasteful and we propose a systematic way to create cheaper states. As an application, we consider Gaussian cluster computation in multiple-rail encoding. This encoding may reduce errors due to finite squeezing, even when the extra rails are achieved through off-line squeezing and linear optics.

description: Extrapolating from the solar system's asteroid belt, we propose that externally-contaminated white dwarfs without an infrared excess may be experiencing continuous accretion of gas-phase material that ultimately is derived from the tidal destruction of multiple small asteroids. If this scenario is correct, then observations of metal-polluted white dwarfs may lead to determining the bulk elemental compositions of ensembles of extrasolar minor planets.

title: An ethnographic account of the religious practice in a Tibetan Buddhist refugee monastery in northern India
Creators: name: Cantwell, Catherine Mary
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 1989

description: Chapter 1 introduces the social and political context of present day Tibet, the exodus of refugees and their organisation in exile. It reviews the works of previous anthropologists on Tibetan refugees and Tibetan Buddhist ritual and comments on some general characteristics of the rNying-ma-pa in exile. It outlines the approach taken to the ethnography, emphasising the importance of understanding the historical and religious heritage, and it considers the limitations of the research. Chapter 2 describes the background of the Rewalsar community: the village and its amenities, the religious significance of Rewalsar, Buddhist pilgrimage and the resident Tibetan community. It includes sections on the Tibetans living in the hermitage and the village, and on the rNying-ma-pa and 'Bri-khung bKa'-rgyud-pa monasteries. Chapter 3 presents the daily life of the monks at the rNying-ma-pa monastery: their routines and their regular communal practice. After considering theoretical and methodological problems, it outlines the textual recitations from bDud-'joms Rin-po-che's "Chosspyod", the daily practices of rDo-rje Gro-lod and the Dharma protectors. Chapter 4 is a detailed description of the monthly tenth day "Bla-sgrub" practice, including textual translation. It has three main sections: the Preparations, the Main Practice and the afternoon practice which includes a "Tshogs" offering. Chapter 5 is an account of the first month practice session, based on the "Bla-sgrub" practice. It describes the preparations and the practice session itself, culminating in the tenth day ritual dances ("Chams"), and concluded with a "sByin-sreg" (Burnt Offerings Practice). Chapter 6 considers some theoretical issues: the relationship between "text" and "practice"; sacrificial themes in Tibetan ritual and the possibility of cross cultural comparison; rituals and their social contexts; and the effects of literacy. Finally, it comments on Tibetan ethnicity and rNying-ma-pa identity, and a Postscript discusses recent developments in Rewalsar.

We use the Teukolsky equation which applies to both bosonic and fermionic modes. Remarkably, we arrive at explicit expressions which coincide with those derived using the Regge-Wheeler equation for integer spin. Our zeroth-order expressions agree with the results of WKB analysis. In the case of Dirac fermions, our results are in good agreement with numerical data.

Emergency Decision Making and Disaster Recovery
Creators: name: Mahdavian, Farnaz
Publisher: name: Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT)

description: There is growing evidence that the number and severity of natural disasters and their cascading events such as power blackouts are increasing. These extreme events threaten human lives, displace hundreds of thousands of people and cause huge financial losses. Therefore, it is important to understand better how socio-economic systems can best respond to these disasters and how they can recover quickly, build back better and become more resilient. This thesis comprises five separate studies of four different types of disasters. The overall objective is to improve the understanding of how society copes with and makes decisions in crisis and emergency situations, and how disaster affected areas recover, particularly in terms of speed and quality. This is a huge subject and rather than focusing on just one event or a single type of disaster, the objective is to look at different types of disaster events by studying people’s risk perception and their (real or expected) disaster behaviour in the context of different phases of the disaster cycle from immediate response to longer-term recovery and resilience building. The five studies featured in this thesis are: 1. Behaviour during a long-lasting blackout in France and Germany, investigated through role-playing scenario exercises to study how society would cope. The aim is provide information to emergency managers and policy makers about community needs and people’s likely behaviour in future blackouts, 2. Analyses of people’s preparedness, perception and behaviour during floods in the UK and Germany and their attitude to public authorities, investigated through face-to-face interview surveys with people living and working in the flood prone areas, 3. Analyses of flood evacuation compliance, from both decision-theoretic and game-theoretic perspectives, using the Warning Compliance Model, which incorporates a Bayesian information system that formalizes the statistical effects of a warning forecast based on the harmonious structure of a Hidden Markov Model, 4. Examining recovery after two major comparable floods in UK and Germany in terms of the impacts, levels of preparedness and government response, investigated with face-to-face interview surveys with residents and businesses and online surveys with experts, 5. Tourist destination recovery in the Philippines after earthquake and typhoon, investigated through interviews with tourist managers and stakeholders. The key areas for future research revolve around identifying in more detail and with greater precision those factors that predispose a society to respond effectively to a disaster, to recover as quickly as possible and to build resilience in order to better confront future disasters.
Regulation of LFA-1 (CD11a/CD18) function

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: In the immune system, the complex cellular interactions that are necessary for the effective surveillance of the body against pathogens, and for launching an appropriate immune response to eliminate these pathogens, are mediated by adhesion molecules. The proper function of the immune system relies on the strict regulation of adhesive interactions between immune cells. The leukocyte integrin LFA-1 and its major ligand ICAM-1 constitute one pair of adhesion molecules that play critical roles in immune responses. This thesis presents the results of experiments designed to elucidate the mechanisms regulating the binding of LFA-1 to ICAM- 1. Murine recombinant soluble ICAM-1 was immobilized on polystyrene microspheres with a view to using the beads to probe the distribution of high-avidity LFA-1 on various cell lines. These microspheres bound specifically to high-avidity LFA-1 in a cytoskeleton-independent manner as treatment with cytochalasin B had no effect. Furthermore, the beads displayed a highly localized distribution on some cell types, whereas fluorescence staining indicated that LFA-1 was uniformly distributed on the cell surface. Thus, the cell surface distribution of highavidity LFA-1 can be different from that of LFA-1 in general, and is potentially significant in regulating LFA-1-mediated adhesion. The role of LFA-1 cytoplasmic domains in binding to ICAM-1 and in post-adhesion events was also investigated. Various truncated forms of LFA-1 α (CD 11 a) and β (CD 18) chains were generated by PCR and co-transfected into murine fibroblast TNR-2 cells in various combinations. The transfected fibroblasts were tested for their ability to adhere to ICAM-1 immobilized on plastic, and to spread out following this adhesion. The results indicated that both LFA-1 cytoplasmic domains are important for adhesion to ICAM-1, but that they play different roles. Furthermore, both cytoplasmic domains are required for post-receptor spreading. Fluorescent staining of these cells indicated no significant variation in the distribution of LFA-1 on the cell surface. As a further probe into the roles of LFA-1 cytoplasmic domains in regulating adhesion, we overexpressed chimeras consisting of the LFA-1 subunit cytoplasmic domains attached to the extracellular portion of murine CD4 in a B cell line as well as in a T cell line, and examined the effect on adhesion to ICAM-1 and fibronectin. The CD4/18 chimera drastically inhibited adhesion of both lines to ICAM-1 and fibronectin, whereas the CD4/11 chimera and a truncated form of CD4 lacking most of the cytoplasmic domain had no effect. Cell spreading after binding to ICAM-1 was also inhibited by the CD4/18 chimera but not the CD4/11 chimera. These results suggest that the CD 18 cytoplasmic domain interacts with intracellular molecules that regulate not only LFA-1 but also other integrins.

description: In the case of a model driven development (MDD) approach, source models are transformed into destination models during the development process. This leads to a transformation chain, that is, a sequence of models connected via transformations. While so far usually only the domain models were transformed, we introduce an algorithm here to also transform the notation models, in order to create a diagram based on the layout of a predecessor diagram. We illustrate the algorithm on several examples which are visualized by a full-featured editor displaying 2D diagrams on layers in a 3D space.

description: Abstract: The Alloy Analyzer is a software design tool that generates examples of system states and executions from logic models and displays those examples graphically with a visualization facility. Although many users find the visualization indispensable, others are put off by the perceived difficulty of customizing the visualization and the poor quality of default diagrams. Many others do not take full advantage of the customization, usually because they do not understand what customizations are available and how best to apply them.

This paper describes techniques for inferring a better initial customization, or theme, entirely automatically, based on the model and on criteria derived from experience with manual customization. A plugin that implements these techniques was applied to a repertoire of models. Each automatically generated theme was compared to an "expert" theme and to the default theme, with a simple metric that quantifies the visual difference between themes. These comparisons, which provide an indication of how closely the plugin can match the expert result, show the generated theme to be superior to the default for most models.

Year: 2007

description: Abstract: The layout of Logichart diagrams is first discussed. The layout condition is formalized with a layout constraint (expressions of equalities and inequalities) of tree-structured diagrams. Next, a cell placement that gives the minimum-area layout under a specific layout constraint is presented. A Logichart attribute graph grammar is then formalized. This grammar is underlain by a neighborhood controlled embedding (NCE) graph grammar whose productions are defined in order to formalize the graph-syntax rules of Logichart diagrams. Semantic rules attached to the grammar's productions are defined in such a way that they can extract the layout information needed to display a Logichart diagram by means of the attributes attached to the nodes of the graphs derived by the grammar. The semantic rules are formalized so as to obtain the Logichart diagrams of the minimum area under the above layout constraint.

description: We present the identification of the previously unnoticed physical association between the Corona Australis molecular cloud (CrA), traced by interstellar dust emission, and two shell-like structures observed with line emission of atomic hydrogen (HI) at 21 cm. Although the existence of the two shells had already been reported in the literature, the physical link between the HI emission and CrA was never highlighted before. We use both Planck and Herschel data to trace dust emission and the Galactic All Sky HI Survey (GASS) to trace HI. The physical association between CrA and the shells is assessed based both on spectroscopic observations of molecular and atomic gas and on dust extinction data with Gaia. The shells are located at a distance between 140 and 190 pc, comparable to the distance of CrA, which we derive as 150.5 +- 6.3 pc. We also employ dust polarization observations from Planck to trace the magnetic-field structure of the shells. Both of them show patterns of magnetic-field lines following the edge of the shells consistently with the magnetic-field morphology of CrA. We estimate the magnetic-field strength at the intersection of the two shells via the Davis-Chandrasekhar-Fermi (DCF) method. Albeit the many caveats that are behind the DCF method, we find a magnetic-field strength of 27 +- 8 $μ$G, at least a factor of two larger than the magnetic-field strength computed off of the HI shells. This value is also significantly larger compared to the typical values of a few $μ$G found in the diffuse HI gas from Zeeman splitting. We interpret this as the result of magnetic-field compression caused by the shell expansion. This study supports a scenario of molecular-cloud formation triggered by supersonic compression of cold magnetized HI gas from expanding interstellar bubbles.

description: The diagram editor generator framework DIAMETA utilizes meta-model-based language specifications and supports free-hand as well as structured editing. We presented a generic layout algorithm that meets the demands of this kind of editors. The algorithm combines two concepts, constraint satisfaction and attribute evaluation, to a powerful methodology for specifying the layout for a particular visual language. As the layout specification for this algorithm is rather complex, we encapsulated basic functionality into reusable patterns. This paper describes this pattern concept of the generic layout algorithm, and shows how they simplify the layout specification of a specific language.

description: Le virus Ébola (EBOV) est un virus à ARN de la famille des Filoviridae. Il est l’agent causal de la maladie à virus Ébola (MVE), une maladie hautement mortelle caractérisée par des fièvres hémorragiques pouvant atteindre des taux de mortalité allant jusqu’à 90%. L’épidémie la plus remarquable a eu lieu en Afrique de l’Ouest de 2014 à 2016 ayant touché plus de 28000 personnes principalement en Guinée, au Libéria et en Sierra Leone. Elle compta un total de 11 325 décès confirmés selon les données de l’Organisation mondiale de la santé (OMS) et du Centre pour contrôle et prévention des maladies (CDC) des États-Unis. La famille des filovirus compte un vaste éventail d’agents pathogènes dont les virus Ébola Zaïre, Ébola Soudan, Ébola Reston, Ébola Taï Forest ainsi que les virus Marburg, Lloivu, Bombali et Mengla. Au-delà d’avoir touché l’Afrique, les filovirus sont répandus dans d’autres continents du monde dont l’Europe et l’Asie, d’où il est très important de les étudier. Dans cette étude, nous avons analysé l’effet de la température sur les filovirus et nous rapportons que le virus Ébola ainsi que les autres filovirus Ébola sont thermostable à l’exception du virus Taï Forest et que le virus Marburg est moins thermostable que le virus Ébola. Nous rapportons également que la fièvre n’a pas d’effet négatif sur le virus Ébola mais elle inhibe légèrement l’internalisation du virus Marburg. Cette étude est importante afin de connaître davantage les filovirus pour aider dans la compréhension du virus ainsi que pour développer des solutions thérapeutiques pour les potentielles épidémies qui pourraient éclater.

description: In this work we derive limit theorems for trawl processes. First,we study the asymptotic behaviour of the partial sums of the discretized trawl process $(X_{iΔ_{n}})_{i=0}^{\lfloor nt\rfloor-1}$, under the assumption that as $n\uparrow\infty$, $Δ_{n}\downarrow0$ and $nΔ_{n}\rightarrowμ\in[0,+\infty]$. Second, we derive a functional limit theorem for trawl processes as the Lévy measure of the trawl seed grows to infinity and show that the limiting process has a Gaussian moving average representation.

description: A general strategy for the determination of Tc oxidation state by new approach involving X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES) at the Tc L3 edge is shown. A comprehensive series of 99Tc compounds, ranging from oxidation states I to VII, was measured and subsequently simulated within the framework of crystal-field multiplet theory. The observable trends in the absorption edge energy shift in combination with the spectral shape allow for a deeper understanding of complicated Tc coordination chemistry. This approach can be extended to numerous studies of Tc systems as this method is one of the most sensitive methods for accurate Tc oxidation state and ligand characterization.

Thermodynamics of ideal quantum gas with fractional statistics in D dimensions

description: We present exact and explicit results for the thermodynamic properties (isochores, isotherms, isobars, response functions, velocity of sound) of a quantum gas in dimensions D>=1 and with fractional exclusion statistics 0<=g<=1 connecting bosons (g=0) and fermions (g=1). In D=1 the results are equivalent to those of the Calogero-Sutherland model. Emphasis is given to the crossover between boson-like and fermion-like features, caused by aspects of the statistical interaction that mimic long-range attraction and short-range repulsion. The full isochoric heat capacity and the leading low-T term of the isobaric expansivity in D=2 are independent of g. The onset of Bose-Einstein condensation along the isobar occurs at a nonzero transition temperature in all dimensions. The T-dependence of the velocity of sound is in simple relation to isochores and isobars. The effects of soft container walls are accounted for rigorously for the case of a pure power-law potential.

description: We study the capabilities of a muon collider, at 3 and 10 TeV center-of-mass energy, of probing the interactions of the Higgs boson with the muon. We consider all the possible processes involving the direct production of EW bosons ($W,Z$ and $H$) with up to five particles in the final state. We study these processes both in the HEFT and SMEFT frameworks, assuming that the dominant BSM effects originate from the muon Yukawa sector. Our study shows that a Muon Collider has sensitivity beyond the LHC, as it not only relies on the Higgs-decay branching fraction to muons. A 10 TeV muon collider provides a unique sensitivity on muon and (multi-) Higgs interactions, significantly better than the 3 TeV option. We find searches based purely on multi-Higgs production to be particularly effective in probing these couplings.

Reconciling Semiclassical and Bohmian Mechanics: III. Scattering states for continuous potentials

description: In a previous paper [J. Chem. Phys. 121 4501 (2004)] a unique bipolar decomposition, Psi = Psi1 + Psi2 was presented for stationary bound states Psi of the one-dimensional Schroedinger equation, such that the components Psi1 and Psi2 approach their semiclassical WKB analogs in the large action limit. The corresponding bipolar quantum trajectories, as defined in the usual Bohmian mechanical formulation, are classical-like and well-behaved, even when Psi has many nodes, or is wildly oscillatory. A modification for discontinuous potential stationary stattering states was presented in a second paper [J. Chem. Phys. 124 034115 (2006)], whose generalization for continuous potentials is given here. The result is an exact quantum scattering methodology using classical trajectories. For additional convenience in handling the tunneling case, a constant velocity trajectory version is also developed.

description: For a fundamental understanding of terrain relaxation occurring on sloped surfaces of terrestrial bodies, we analyze the crater shape produced by an impact on an inclined granular (dry-sand) layer. Owing to asymmetric ejecta deposition followed by landsliding, the slope of the impacted inclined surface can be relaxed. Using the experimental results of a solid projectile impact on an inclined dry-sand layer, we measure the distance of centroid migration induced by asymmetric cratering. We find that the centroid migration distance $x_\mathrm{mig}$ normalized to the crater minor-axis diameter $D_\mathrm{cy}$ can be expressed as a function of the initial inclination of the target $\tanθ$, the effective friction coefficient $μ$, and two parameters $K$ and $c$ that characterize the asymmetric ejecta deposition and oblique impact effect: $x_\mathrm{mig}/D_\mathrm{cy}=K \tanθ/(1-(\tanθ/μ)^2)+c$, where $K=0.6$, $μ=0.8$, and $c=-0.1$ to $0.3$. This result is consistent with a previous study that considered the effect of asymmetric ejecta deposition. The obtained results provide fundamental information for analyzing the degradation of sloped terrain on planetary surfaces, such as crater-shape degradation due to the accumulation of micro-impacts.

description: A GRMHD model of disk outflows with neutrino-driven mass ejection is presented. The model is used to calculate the structure of the outflow in the sub-slow magnetosonic region and the mass loading of the outflow, under conditions anticipated in the central engines of gamma-ray bursts. It is concluded that magnetic launching of ultra-relativistic polar outflows is in principle possible along low inclination field lines (with respect to the symmetry axis), provided the neutrino luminosity is sufficiently low, $L_ν\simlt10^{52}$ erg s$^{-1}$.
