Resolving the Azimuthal Ambiguity in Vector Magnetogram Data with the Divergence-Free Condition: Implementations for Disambiguating Each Height Independently

Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)

description: We continue the investigation of how to use the divergence-free condition to resolve the azimuthal ambiguity present in vector magnetogram data. In previous articles, by Crouch, Barnes, and Leka (Solar Physics, 260, 271, 2009) and Crouch (Solar Physics, 282, 107, 2013), all methods used an expression for the divergence of the magnetic field that involves differentiation of quantities that depend on the choice of azimuthal angle. As a result, all heights used to approximate line-of-sight derivatives should generally be disambiguated simultaneously. In this article, we investigate a set of methods that use an expression for the divergence that involves differentiation of quantities that do not depend on the choice of azimuthal angle. This results in an expression for the divergence that can be used to disambiguate each height independently. We test two methods using synthetic and find that the two-step, hybrid method, adapted to disambiguate each height independently, generally produces reasonable results. Moreover, the time required to compute solutions is substantially decreased in comparison to the corresponding method that disambiguates all relevant heights simultaneously.

description: Individuals with coexisting chronic diseases, named complex chronic disease, are among the costliest and most challenging patients to treat, representing a growing challenge for healthcare. Recommending effective treatments, including nutrition interventions, relies on standardised outcome reporting from Randomised Controlled Trials (RCTs) to enable data synthesis. This will be the first review to analyse the outcomes reported by nutrition intervention Randomised Controlled Trials on populations with complex chronic disease (as defined in the trial protocol), and compare the scope and consistency of these to the outcomes requested by applicable Core Outcome Sets. In doing so, this review will highlight the extent of outcome standardisation in this area, to inform how future trials can better select the outcomes to accurately capture the patient experience and enable wider synthesis of data with similar studies.

description: Rainfall exhibits extreme variability at many space and time scales and calls for a statistical description. Based on an analysis of radar measurements of precipitation over the tropical oceans, we introduce a new probability law for the area-averaged rain rate constructed from the class of log-infinitely divisible distributions that accurately describes the frequency of the most intense rain events. The dependence of its parameters on the spatial averaging length L allows one to relate spatial statistics at different scales. In particular, it enables us to explain the observed power law scaling of the moments of the data and successfully predicts the continuous spectrum of scaling exponents expressing multiscaling characteristics of the rain intensity field.

description: The Correlation Between Dynamic Trunk Stability and Lower Extremity and Trunk Biomechanics During a Cutting Task Purpose: Examine the relationship between trunk neuromuscular control (NMC) during unstable-sitting (UST) and trunk and knee biomechanics during an athletic cutting task (ACT). Design: Descriptive Laboratory Study. Methods: Participants performed UST and ACT. Center of pressure (CoP) sway data were collected during UST. Peak triplanar trunk and knee biomechanics were collected during ACT. Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients were calculated among CoP data, and trunk and knee biomechanics. Results: Greater CoP sway area (r = -0.548, p = 0.006) and path (r = - 0.407, p = 0.032) measures were associated with greater knee extension moment magnitudes. Transverse plane trunk angle was positively associated with both knee varus moment (r = 0.371, p = 0.043), and transverse plane trunk angle (r = 0.587, p = 0.001). Conclusion: There is evidence of a relationship between trunk NMC and ACL injury risk factors. Key Words: ACL Injury, Trunk Stability, Core, ACL Injury Risk Factors

The Surface Density Profile of the Galactic Disk from the Terminal Velocity Curve
Creators: name: McGaugh, Stacy S.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The mass distribution of the Galactic disk is constructed from the terminal velocity curve and the mass discrepancy-acceleration relation. Mass models numerically quantifying the detailed surface density profiles are tabulated. For $R_0 = 8$ kpc, the models have stellar mass $5 < M_* < 6 \times 10^{10}$ M$_{\odot}$, scale length $2.0 \le R_d \le 2.9$ kpc, LSR circular velocity $222 \le Θ_0 \le 233$ km s$^{-1}$, and solar circle stellar surface density $34 \le Σ_d(R_0) \le 61$ M$_{\odot}$ pc$^{-2}$. The present inter-arm location of the solar neighborhood may have a somewhat lower stellar surface density than average for the solar circle. The Milky Way appears to be a normal spiral galaxy that obeys scaling relations like the Tully-Fisher relation, the size-mass relation, and the disk maximality-surface brightness relation. The stellar disk is maximal, and the spiral arms are massive. The bumps and wiggles in the terminal velocity curve correspond to known spiral features (e.g., the Centaurus Arm is a $\sim 50\%$ overdensity). The rotation curve switches between positive and negative over scales of hundreds of parsecs. The rms amplitude $\langle$$|$$dV/dR$$|^2$$\rangle$$^{1/2} \approx 14$ km s$^{-1}$ kpc$^{-1}$, implying that commonly neglected terms in the Jeans equations may be non-negligible. The spherically averaged local dark matter density is $ρ_{0,DM} \approx 0.009$ M$_{\odot}$ pc$^{-3}$ (0.3 GeV cm$^{-3}$). Adiabatic compression of the dark matter halo may help reconcile the Milky Way with the $c$-$V_{200}$ relation expected in $Λ$CDM while also helping to mitigate the too big to fail problem, but it remains difficult to reconcile the inner bulge/bar dominated region with a cuspy halo. We note that NGC 3521 is a near twin to the Milky Way, having a similar luminosity, scale length, and rotation curve.

description: The development of sustainable processes and the implementation of renewable raw materials are increasingly important for the chemical industry. In particular, homogeneous catalysis is a key technology in this context since it allows for atom economic and selective syntheses under mild reaction conditions. In this work, two important tasks in process development for homogeneously catalysed carbonylation reactions were investigated: Recycling of known homogeneous transition metal catalysts Development of new catalytic systems for the conversion of substrates based on renewable raw materials in tandem reactions As a recycling strategy for homogeneous transition metal catalysts, the use of thermomorphic multicomponent solvent (TMS) systems was systematically investigated in four steps: 1. Development of a new solvent selection strategy for TMS systems 2. Application of TMS systems in the conversion of technical grade feedstocks 3. Application of TMS systems in the conversion of renewable feedstocks 4. Application of TMS systems in reactions with inherently limited degrees of freedom in the solvent choice The results of these investigations led to the development of a guideline for process development for homogeneously catalyzed reactions in thermomorphic multicomponent solvent systems. Three new catalytic systems were developed for the conversion of substrates based on renewable raw materials in tandem hydroformylations. In the hydroaminomethylation and the reductive hydroformylation, two of the novel catalyst systems allow for a direct conversion of the intermediately formed aldehydes. This makes their purification superfluous, which is of great advantage from an economic and ecologic point of view. The newly developed catalyst system for the isomerising hydroformylation of unsaturated fatty acid methyl esters opens a new way for the synthesis of valuable products from renewable raw materials.

description: Using different techniques, and Fermi-liquid relationships, we calculate the variation with applied magnetic field (up to second order) of the zero-temperature equilibrium conductance through a quantum dot described by the impurity Anderson model. We focus on the strong-coupling limit $U \gg Δ$ where $U$ is the Coulomb repulsion and $Δ$ is half the resonant-level width, and consider several values of the dot level energy $E_d$, ranging from the Kondo regime $ε_F-E_d \gg Δ$ to the intermediate-valence regime $ε_F-E_d \sim Δ$, where $ε_F$ is the Fermi energy. We have mainly used density-matrix renormalization group (DMRG) and numerical renormalization group (NRG) combined with renormalized perturbation theory (RPT). Results for the dot occupancy and magnetic susceptibility from DMRG and NRG+RPT are compared with the corresponding Bethe ansatz results for $U \rightarrow \infty$, showing an excellent agreement once $E_d$ is renormalized by a constant Haldane shift. For $U < 3 Δ$ a simple perturbative approach in $U$ agrees very well with the other methods. The conductance decreases with applied magnetic field for dot occupancies $n_d \sim 1$ and increases for $n_d \sim 0.5$ or $n_d \sim 1.5$ regardless of the value of $U$. We also relate the energy scale for the magnetic-field dependence of the conductance with the width of low energy peak in the spectral density of the dot.

description: ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) is designed and optimized to study ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions, in which a hot and dense strongly-interacting medium is created. W bosons are produced in hard scattering processes occurring at the early stage of the collision and, since they are not affected by the strong interaction, they can be used as a benchmark for medium-induced effects. In proton-nucleus collisions the production of W bosons can be used to study the modification of parton distribution functions in the nucleus and to test the validity of binary collision scaling. The latter is studied by measuring the yield of W bosons in different intervals of event activity. In ALICE, the production of W bosons is measured via the contribution of their muonic decays to the inclusive $p_{\rm T}$-differential muon yield reconstructed with the muon spectro-meter at forward ($2.03 < \mathit{y}^μ_{cms} < 3.53$) and backward rapidity ($-4.46< \mathit{y}^μ_{cms}

description: We present a unified theoretical study of the bright solitons governed by self-focusing and defocusing nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equations with generalized parity-time (PT)-symmetric Scarff II potentials. Particularly, a PT-symmetric k-wavenumber Scarff II potential and a multi-well Scarff II potential are considered, respectively. For the k-wavenumber Scarff II potential, the parameter space can be divided into different regions, corresponding to unbroken and broken PT-symmetry and the bright solitons for self-focusing and defocusing Kerr nonlinearities. For the multi-well Scarff II potential the bright solitons can be obtained by using a periodically space-modulated Kerr nonlinearity. The linear stability of bright solitons with PT-symmetric k-wavenumber and multi-well Scarff II potentials is analyzed in details using numerical simulations. Stable and unstable bright solitons are found in both regions of unbroken and broken PT-symmetry due to the existence of the nonlinearity. Furthermore, the bright solitons in three-dimensional self-focusing and defocusing NLS equations with a generalized PT-symmetric Scarff II potential are explored. This may have potential applications in the field of optical information transmission and processing based on optical solitons in nonlinear dissipative but PT-symmetric systems.

description: Τα σαρκώματα μαλακών μορίων αποτελούν εξαιρετικά σπάνια κακοήθη νεοπλάσματα. Η εντόπιση τους στο άνω άκρο αποτελεί μια σοβαρή απειλή για τον ασθενή και μια πρόκληση για την ομάδα αντιμετώπισης. Εξαιτίας της σύνθετης ανατομίας του άνω άκρου, τα περισσότερα σαρκώματα εμπλέκουν χρήσιμες λειτουργικές δομές. Πιθανολογούνται αρκετοί προδιαθεσικοί παράγοντες για την εμφάνισή τους, χωρίς ωστόσο να έχουν ακόμη επιβεβαιωθεί. Οι τύποι του σαρκώματος ποικίλλουν και διαφέρουν μεταξύ τους ανάλογα με την ιστολογική τους εικόνα η οποία σε συνδυασμό με το βαθμό διαφοροποίησης και το μοριακό προφίλ του όγκου διαμορφώνουν την πρόγνωση. Σημαντικός παράγοντας στην επιβίωση και στην ίαση των ασθενών που πάσχουν από σάρκωμα είναι η ανατομική εντόπιση, το στάδιο, το μέγεθος και η ηλικία του ασθενούς. Η θεραπεία του σαρκώματος συνίσταται στην εκτομή της βλάβης σε υγιή όρια και στην επικουρική χορήγηση ακτινοθεραπείας, κατά περίπτωση, σε συνδυασμό ή όχι με χημειοθεραπεία . Από την ανασκοπική μελέτη 82 ασθενών που έπασχαν από σάρκωμα άνω άκρου σε χρονική περίοδο 10 ετών παρουσιάζονται σημαντικά αποτελέσματα για τη συχνότητα εμφάνισης, τον ιστολογικό τύπο, την εντόπιση του σαρκώματος και την επιβίωση των ασθενών, καθώς και την χειρουργική αποκατάσταση ελλειμμάτων που προέκυψαν από την εξαίρεση των σαρκωμάτων.
description: The term soft tissue sarcomas refers to extremely rare malignant neoplasms. Soft tissue sarcomas of the upper extremity represent a severe threat for the patient and a difficult task for the treatment team. Due to the complex anatomy of the arm, most sarcomas involve valuable functional structures. There is a variety of predisposing factors about their development, without however being yet confirmed. There is an enormous variety of soft tissue sarcoma types with different histological characteristics, when combined with tumor’s grade and molecular profile shape tumor’s prognosis. Anatomic location, stage, size and age of the patient of sarcoma is of great importance for the overall survival. The gold standard of soft tissue sarcoma management is surgical resection of the lesion in healthy margins, combined with neoadjuvant or adjuvant radiation and chemotherapy when needed. This review study gives an overview of the disease entities and their epidemiology, also of the histological types, the location and the surgical reconstructive methods that were used on 82 patients of a ten year time period. The results of the analysis regarding the prognosis and survival rates of upper extremity sarcoma patients, are presented and commented on.

description: The paper discusses two passages of Plato’s Menexenus (243c-d, 244b-c), focusing on Athenian defeat in the Peloponnesian war. In the first passage, Plato seems to suggest that the real Peloponnesian war ended with Athens’ victory at the Arginusae. If we compare this seemingly absurd claim with Thucydides’ reflection on the reasons for Athenian defeat (Thuc. II 65.10-13) and pay attention to the subsequent statement – Athens was actually defeated, but by herself and not by external enemies – we discover a lucid diagnosis on the bad choices of the Athenians after the battle of Arginusae, which led to self-destruction. In the second passage, Plato returns to the traumatic memory of the end of the Peloponnesian war to show that the terms of peace imposed by Sparta and her allies prepared the ground for another war. Both passages can be put in a fruitful relationship with Republic V 470-471 (on the definition and rules of a civil war) and Laws I 626 (on the impossibility of peace and the idea that the ultimate war is the war within). The paper aims to show how, in Plato’s works, the memory of recent Athenian history plays a significant role in reflecting on the nature of war and its rules.

description: It is a common conception that the internet’s ability to be everywhere at once and educate untold numbers of people across the globe in countless languages has leveled the playing field, making it the ideal public forum for the 21st century. Social networking sites (SNSs), in particular, have changed how we communicate with others and stay informed. This study analyzes through a psychological frame how social media networks, especially Twitter and Facebook, weaken deliberative democratic discourse by exacerbating group fragmentation and polarization, creating echo chambers and information cascades, and triggering social and cognitive biases. This work also includes a case study on the social media and communications landscape leading up to the 2017 referendum for Catalan independence. Although media sources and social networks in Spain were divided ideologically by their stances on independence, individuals appeared willing to cross party lines to engage in political debate online.

description: The DEdicated MONitor of EXotransits (DEMONEX) was a 20 inch robotic and automated telescope to monitor bright stars hosting transiting exoplanets to discover new planets and improve constraints on the properties of known transiting planetary systems. We present results for the misaligned hot Jupiter XO-4b containing 7 new transits from the DEMONEX telescope, including 3 full and 4 partial transits. We combine these data with archival light curves and archival radial velocity measurements to derive the host star mass $M_{*}=1.293_{-0.029}^{+0.030} M_\odot$ and radius $R_{*}=1.554_{-0.030}^{+0.042} R_\odot$ as well as the planet mass $M_{P}=1.615_{-0.099}^{+0.10} M_{\rm J}$ and radius $R_{P}=1.317_{-0.029}^{+0.040} R_{\rm J}$ and a refined ephemeris of $P=4.1250687\pm0.0000024$ days and $T_{0}=2454758.18978\pm0.00024 \rm {BJD_{TDB}}$. We include archival Rossiter-McLaughlin measurements of XO-4 to infer the stellar spin-planetary orbit alignment $λ=-40.0_{-7.5}^{+8.8}$ degrees. We test the effects of including various detrend parameters, theoretical and empirical mass-radius relations, and Rossiter-McLaughlin models. We infer that detrending against CCD position and time or airmass can improve data quality, but can have significant effects on the inferred values of many parameters --- most significantly $R_{P}/R_{*}$ and the observed central transit times $T_{C}$. In the case of $R_{P}/R_{*}$ we find that the systematic uncertainty due to detrending can be three times that of the quoted statistical uncertainties. The choice of mass-radius relation has little effect on our inferred values of the system parameters. The choice of Rossiter-McLaughlin models can have significant effects of the inferred values of $v\sin{I_{*}}$ and the stellar spin-planet orbit angle $λ$.

description: Many complex systems generate multifractal time series which are long-range cross-correlated. Numerous methods have been proposed to characterize the multifractal nature of these long-range cross correlations. However, several important issues about these methods are not well understood and most methods consider only one moment order. We study the joint multifractal analysis based on partition function with two moment orders, which was initially invented to investigate fluid fields, and derive analytically several important properties. We apply the method numerically to binomial measures with multifractal cross correlations and bivariate fractional Brownian motions without multifractal cross correlations. For binomial multifractal measures, the explicit expressions of mass function, singularity strength and multifractal spectrum of the cross correlations are derived, which agree excellently with the numerical results. We also apply the method to stock market indexes and unveil intriguing multifractality in the cross correlations of index volatilities.

description: The article proposes an analysis of the theme of the name of Alexander (nomen Alexandri) in Justin’s Epitome of the Philippic Histories. In his homeland, Alexander’s name was associated with the majesty of the Macedonian kingdom (maiestas). In many regions of the Mediterranean, the very name aroused such fear (terror) that entire populations surrendered and sent embassies of admiration. This terror, linked to the myth of the invincibility of the Macedonian army, has relevant similarities with the descriptions of the terror associated with the Gauls in books XXIV-XXV of Justin’s Epitome. In particular, Trogue’s emphasis on Alexander’s name can be linked with the Augustan propaganda concerning the delivery of hostages to Augustus by Phraates. In the same cultural context, Timagenes of Alexandria probably used the same rhetorical pattern, albeit with a reversed meaning, to celebrate Alexander’s name in opposition to the Romans (Liv. IX, 18.6).

description: The Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) on the Spitzer Space Telescope currently offers the greatest potential for high-precision astrometry of faint mid-IR sources across arcminute-scale fields, which would be especially valuable for measuring parallaxes of cold brown dwarfs in the solar neighborhood and proper motions of obscured members of nearby star-forming regions. To more fully realize IRAC's astrometric capabilities, we have sought to minimize the largest sources of uncertainty in astrometry with its 3.6 and 4.5 $μ$m bands. By comparing different routines that estimate stellar positions, we have found that Point Response Function (PRF) fitting with the Spitzer Science Center's Astronomical Point Source Extractor produces both the smallest systematic errors from varying intra-pixel sensitivity and the greatest precision in measurements of positions. In addition, self-calibration has been used to derive new 7$^{\rm th}$ and 8$^{\rm th}$ order distortion corrections for the 3.6 and 4.5 $μ$m arrays of IRAC, respectively. These corrections are suitable for data throughout the mission of Spitzer when a time-dependent scale factor is applied to the corrections. To illustrate the astrometric accuracy that can be achieved by combining PRF fitting with our new distortion corrections, we have applied them to archival data for a nearby star-forming region, arriving at total astrometric errors of $\sim$20 and 70 mas at signal to noise ratios of 100 and 10, respectively.

description: Background: Despite representing the highest level of total population mental health burden, young people are the least likely to seek help from mental health services. It has been suggested that service design can influence the likelihood that young people will look for help, but little is known about how young people would like a service to be designed. This study addresses a gap in research regarding how mental health services can be designed to facilitate access for young people. Method: A collective intelligence, scenario-based design methodology was used to facilitate stakeholders to identify and prioritise ways to improve youth mental health services. Seventy-four 15–17-year-olds from three geographically diverse schools in Ireland worked to identify barriers to help-seeking and to generate and prioritise options in response to barriers. Nine practitioners with experience of working in youth mental health services rated all options in terms of both potential impact on help-seeking and feasibility for service implementation. Results: A total of 326 barriers across 15 themes were generated by youth stakeholders, along with 133 options in response to barriers. Through a process of voting, young people identified 30 options as the most impactful for improving access to mental health services. Twelve of these options were also rated by practitioners as having both high potential impact and high feasibility. These 12 options focused on four areas: making services more familiar and welcoming; providing specialist mental health input in schools; improving parental understanding; and improving the visibility of appropriate supports. Conclusion: The results of the current study inform mental health service innovation and development, in particular, by highlighting potentially impactful and feasible ways to adapt existing mental health services to improve young people’s help-seeking behaviour.

description: In this work, we correlated the angular dependence of the Raman response of black phosphorus to its crystallographic orientation by using transmission electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. It was found that the intensity of the A2g mode reached a maximum when the polarization direction of the incident light was parallel to the zigzag crystallographic orientation. Notably, it was further confirmed that the zigzag crystallographic direction exhibited superior conductance and carrier mobility. Because of the lattice extension along the armchair direction, an intensification of the anisotropic Raman response was observed. This work provides direct evidence of the correlation between anisotropic properties and crystallographic direction and represents a turning point in the discussion of the angular-dependent electronic properties of black phosphorus.

The so-called Union of Corinth and Argos and the nature of the polis
Creators: name: Twele, Ross Michael
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2010

description: This thesis revisits the political interactions between Corinth and Argos during the Corinthian War (392-386), commonly referred to by modern scholars as a unification between two poleis. It re-examines the various source traditions and argues that no unification program of the sort attested in later Greek history ever occurred. Argos' involvement in Corinthian affairs was limited by Spartan interference to a merely territorial and military presence in the Corinthia, and the Argive leadership of the Isthmian Games of 390 was more closely connected to previous tensions over pan-Hellenic contests than to a sharing of political rights. It also uses this event to evaluate aspects of the theoretical and systematic model of the polis advanced by M. H. Hansen and the Copenhagen Polis Centre. An anomaly like the `Union' does not fit into this formulation, and only a more fluid understanding of the nature of the polis can accommodate it.
Le fonti antiche sul pesce esoceto

description: The paper is a critical review of ancient Greek and Latin sources (Clearchus, Theophrastus, Oppian, Aelian, and Pliny the Elder), which deal with the fish ἐξώκοιτος (lat. exocoetus), i.e. the fish which goes to sleep ‘out of the water’, from ἔξω (‘outside’) and κοίτη (‘bed’). The name reflects the habits and behavior of this amazing fish, which is not easy to identify and aroused curiosity even in subsequent centuries for its rare and admirabilis nature. Through Linnaeus, who named exocoetus volitans a flying-fish belonging to the pisces abdominales of the Exocoetidae family, the term Exocet has come nowadays to indicate an anti-ship missile. The discussion includes a new apparatus of Clearchus fr. 101 W. = 106A Dorandi (transmitted by Athenaeus VIII 332c-e), based on a re-examination of the manuscripts, and a focus on the readings ἀποκυμβήσῃ and ἀποκυβιστήσῃ and on Rees’ conjecture ἀποκολυμβήσῃ.

description: College athletics have faced heavy criticism recently due to increasing revenue generation and cases of misconduct by high profile athletes. Contrarily, there is strong evidence that athletics have a positive effect on the development of individuals personally and professionally. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the student-athlete experience and the ability to cope with stress and perform in high pressure, non-athletic situations. This was achieved by testing student-athletes and general students in three trials under normal and pressure conditions. The findings suggest that student-athletes are better apt to handle pressure and are therefore less likely to give appraisal to stress, however performance differences were not significant. Findings were somewhat limited by sample size and further investigation into the topic is recommended.
