health screening programs
review protocol

description: Introduction: Rates of ear disease and consequent hearing loss are greater for First Nations children than for their non-Indigenous counterparts in Australia, Canada, the United States, and New Zealand. While the First Nations health workforce is recognised as being vital to the provision of culturally appropriate health care to First Nations peoples and communities, there is a lack of information about Indigenous Health Workers’ role in ear health screening programs. A preliminary search of MEDLINE, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews and JBI Evidence Synthesis was conducted and no current or underway systematic reviews or scoping reviews on the topic were identified.
Review question: What are IHWs’ perspectives about their roles, involvement, and training in the provision of ear health screening programs for First Nations peoples and communities in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United States?
Cavity-QED models of switches for attojoule-scale nanophotonic logic

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Quantum optical input-output models are described for a class of optical switches based on cavity quantum electrodynamics (cavity QED) with a single multilevel atom (or comparable bound system of charges) coupled simultaneously to several resonant field modes. A recent limit theorem for quantum stochastic differential equations is used to show that such models converge to a simple scattering matrix in a type of strong coupling limit that seems natural for nanophotonic systems. Numerical integration is used to show that the behavior of the pre-limit model approximates that of the simple scattering matrix in a realistic regime for the physical parameters, and that it is possible in the proposed cavity-QED configuration for low power optical signals to switch higher-power signals at attojoule energy scales.

description: We have developed a concept of parallel existence of the ordinary (O) and mirror (M), or shadow (Sh) worlds. E_6 unification, inspired by superstring theory, restores the broken mirror parity at the scale ~ 10^18 GeV. With the aim to explain the tiny cosmological constant, we consider the breakings: E_6 -> SO(10) X U(1)_Z - in the O-world, and E'_6 -> SU(6)' X SU(2)'_θ- in the Sh-world. We assume the existence of shadow θ-particles and the low energy symmetry group SU(3)'_C X SU(2)'_L X SU(2)'_θX U(1)'_Y in the shadow world, instead of the Standard Model. The additional non-Abelian SU(2)'_θgroup with massless gauge fields, "thetons", has a macroscopic confinement radius 1/Λ'_θ. The assumption that Λ'_θ\approx 2.3 X 10^-3 eV explains the tiny cosmological constant given by recent astrophysical measurements. Searching for the Dark Matter (DM), it is possible to observe and study various signals of theta-particles.

description: We study the structure and formation of the $ϕ$ mesic nuclei to investigate the in-medium modification of the $ϕ$-meson spectral function at finite density. We consider (${\bar p},ϕ$), ($γ,p$) and ($π^-,n$) reactions to produce a $ϕ$-meson inside the nucleus and evaluate the effects of its medium modifications to the reaction cross sections. We also estimate the consequences of the uncertainties of the ${\bar K}$ selfenergy in medium to the $ϕ$-nucleus interaction. We find that it may be possible to see a peak structure in the reaction spectra for the strong attractive potential cases. On the other hand, for strong absorptive interaction cases with relatively weak attractions, it is very difficult to observe clear peaks and we may need to know the spectrum shape in a wide energy region to deduce the properties of $ϕ$.

description: The neutron-star X-ray transient XTE J1701-462 was observed for $\sim$3 Ms with \xte during its 2006-2007 outburst. Here we report on the discovery of three type-I X-ray bursts from XTE J1701-462. They occurred as the source was in transition from the typical Z-source behavior to the typical atoll-source behavior, at $\sim10%$ of the Eddington luminosity. The first burst was detected in the Z-source flaring branch; the second in the vertex between the flaring and normal branches; and the third in the atoll-source soft state. The detection of the burst in the flaring branch cast doubts on earlier speculations that the flaring branch is due to unstable nuclear burning of accreted matter. The last two of the three bursts show photospheric radius expansion, from which we estimate the distance to the source to be 8.8 kpc with a 15% uncertainty. No significant burst oscillations in the range 30 to 4000 Hz were found during these three bursts.

Radiolytic transformation of sulfides in sulfate black liquors

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The potentially volatile, malodorous sulfides (H₂S, CH₃SH, CH₃SCH₃ and CH₃SSCH₃) in sulfate black liquros were transformed to stable compounds by exposure to gamma photon radiolysis. The product complex following radiolysis of sulfides in aqueous solution is partly resolved ass polysulfide (from H₂S) sulfate (H₂S, CH₃SH, and CH₃SSCH₃), an intermediate, CH₃SSCH₃ (from CH₃SH), and a high molecular weight, amorphous substance (especially from CH₃SCH₃). Variables studied with aqueous solutions and commercial black liquors have included sulfide concentration, solution pH, temperature, oxygen saturation and effects of soluble lignin, all of which.adjusted to some extent the sulfide degradation kinetics. Lowering solution pH and increasing initial sulfide concentration, temperature and/or oxygen pressure increased apparent degradation yields (G), while lignin (thiolignin) acted as a radical scavenger in the process. In gamma radiolysis of strong and weak black liquors (pH 12.85 -13.40) at Gammacell temperature (34°C), and atmospheric oxygen pressure, the apparent degradation yields of sulfide are proportional to the respective initial concentrations. Apparent degradation yields were 0.001-0.003 for CH₃SCH₃ at 0.20 x 10⁻³ -1.10 x 10⁻³g/l and 0.002-0.085 for CH₃SSCH₃ at 0.44 x 10⁻³g/l-39.71 x 10⁻³g/l concentration. Similarly, in carbonated black liquors (pH 8.20 – 9.15), the apparent degradation yields of sulfides significantly correlated with their initial concentration. The apparent sulfide degradation yields are 0.015 to 3.427 for H₂S at 0.89 x 10⁻³-265.20 x 10⁻³g/l, 0.006-0.230 for CH₃SH at 0.48 x 10⁻³- 28.70 x 10⁻³g/l, 0.003 - 0.020 for CH₃SCH₃ at 0.60 x 10⁻³ - 5.22 x 10⁻³g/l and 0.004-0.035 for CH₃SSCH₃ at 1.03 x 10⁻³-9.11 x 10⁻³g/l concentration. The presence of oxygen( 1 atmosphere pressure) at higher concentration of H₂S (247.75 x 10⁻³g/l) and CH₃SH(967.50 x 10⁻³g/l) in carbonate black liquor (pH 7.50) showed high apparent degradation yields of 17 and 28 for H₂S and CH₃SH, respectively. This is considered to be due to a chain reaction occurring during degradation of sulfides. Polysulfide may be generated by radiolysis of acidified sodium sulfide and sulfate green liquor. The apparent yields of polysulfide excess sulfur were 3 and 5 for acidification with carbon dioxide (120 psi) and hydrogen sulfide (270 psi), respectively. As part of these studies, new techniques have been developed for recovery and analysis of sulfides at low concentrations in aqueous solution.

description: Purpose To present a systematic review of single-case experimental treatment studies for childhood apraxia of speech (CAS).
Method A search of 9 databases was used to find peer-reviewed treatment articles from 1970 to 2012 of all levels of evidence with published communication outcomes for children with CAS. Improvement rate differences (IRDs) were calculated for articles with replicated (n > 1), statistically compared treatment and generalization evidence.
Results Forty-two articles representing Phase I and II single-case experimental designs (SCEDs; n = 23) or case series or description studies (n = 19) were analyzed. Six articles showed high CAS diagnosis confidence. Of the 13 approaches within the 23 SCED articles, treatments were primarily for speech motor skills (n = 6), linguistic skills (n = 5), or augmentative and alternative communication (n = 2). Most participants responded positively to treatment, but only 7 of 13 approaches in SCED studies reported maintenance and/or generalization of treatment effects. Three approaches had preponderant evidence (Smith, 1981). IRD effect sizes were calculated for Integral Stimulation/Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing, Rapid Syllable Transition Treatment, and Integrated Phonological Awareness Intervention. Conclusions At least 3 treatments have sufficient evidence for Phase III trials and interim clinical practice. In the future, efficacy needs to be established via maintenance and generalization measures.
Performance and survivability of offshore oscillating water column wave energy converters
Creators: name: Elhanafi, ASSM
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This research was performed with a focus on two key aspects of energy cost‚Äö-reduction for offshore OWC devices; improving the power extraction efficiency and reducing the excess margin in structural safety factors by a better understanding of wave‚Äö-induced loads on these devices. This study utilised information from three different resources. First, 2D and 3D numerical results from fully nonlinear Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations performed using the commercial code STAR‚Äö-CCM+ that was validated in good agreement with physical scale model measurements at each stage of increasing complexity during this research. Second, published experiments in the literature for 2D OWC devices subjected to unidirectional regular waves to validate the 2D CFD models of this study. Third, experiments conducted in the towing tank of the Australian Maritime College (AMC) for 3D offshore stationary and floating‚Äö-moored OWC devices (at a model‚Äö-scale of 1:50) subjected to unidirectional regular and irregular waves. These experiments were designed to (1) compare the hydrodynamic performance of both devices, (2) estimate wave‚Äö-induced loads on the fixed device during operating conditions, (3) investigate the survivability of the floating‚Äö-moored device with intact and damaged mooring systems and (4) validate the 3D CFD models of this study. Using the combined CFD and experimental approach, it was found that optimizing the underwater geometry of an offshore stationary OWC device could significantly improve the power extraction efficiency up to 0.97. However, this efficiency could be reduced due to air compressibility effects at full‚Äö-scale. The surge motion of the floating‚Äö-moored device improved device efficiency in regular and irregular waves. Furthermore, the effectiveness of deploying offshore OWC devices in deep‚Äö-water where waves are more energetic was proven by increasing the extracted pneumatic energy by a maximum of about 7.7 times when wave height was doubled (incident wave energy increased four times). The instantaneous position of the floating‚Äö-moored OWC device and its interactions with a certain wave train was more important than the maximum wave height in an irregular sea state when assessing device survivability. Survivability with a damaged mooring system was the key analysis for mooring design. For this analysis, using an equivalent design regular wave condition along with the current safety factors recommended for offshore oil and gas platforms was found to over‚Äö-design the mooring system of the floating OWC device. The good agreement between CFD experiments for survivability analysis with intact and damaged mooring systems in regular waves highlighted that CFD is a very promising tool a designer can employ to investigate and assess device survivability under different conditions upon further validations in irregular waves.

description: We obtain an explicit solution of the 5d Einstein equations in a dilaton background model. We demonstrate that for each metric ansatz that only depends on the extra coordinate, it is possible to uniquely determine the dilaton field and its potential consistently with the 5d Einstein equation. In this holographic dual model of QCD, conformal symmetry of the Anti-de-Sitter metric near the 4d boundary is broken by a term that leads to an area law for the Wilson loop. We verify that confinement of the string modes dual to mesons follows from the metric background and the corresponding dilaton solution of the gravity-dilaton coupled equations. In addition, we show that the meson Regge trajectories constrain the metric and corresponding dilaton background within the area law requirement. We can also incorporate asymptotic freedom in the gravity background within the model.

description: The results of mid-rapidity ($0 < y < 0.8$) neutral pion spectra over an extended transverse momentum range ($1 < p_T < 12$ GeV/$c$) in $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 200 GeV Au+Au collisions, measured by the STAR experiment, are presented. The neutral pions are reconstructed from photons measured either by the STAR Barrel Electro-Magnetic Calorimeter (BEMC) or by the Time Projection Chamber (TPC) via tracking of conversion electron-positron pairs. Our measurements are compared to previously published $π^{\pm}$ and $π^0$ results. The nuclear modification factors $R_{\mathrm{CP}}$ and $R_{\mathrm{AA}}$ of $π^0$ are also presented as a function of $p_T$ . In the most central Au+Au collisions, the binary collision scaled $π^0$ yield at high $p_T$ is suppressed by a factor of about 5 compared to the expectation from the yield of p+p collisions. Such a large suppression is in agreement with previous observations for light quark mesons and is consistent with the scenario that partons suffer considerable energy loss in the dense medium formed in central nucleus-nucleus collisions at RHIC.

description: The interrelation between Ferreira's Hopf solitons of a conformal nonlinear $σ$ model and the electromagnetic knots found by Ra$\tilde{\rm{n}}$ada et al. is investigated. It is shown that the electromagnetic knots yield exact solutions of the conformal nonlinear $σ$ model different from those obtained by Ferreira. Conversely, It is discussed that Ferreira's solutions realize magnetic knots. The energy associated with these two kinds of knots are compared. The structure of the electric charge distribution and the electric current density associated with the magnetic knots is investigated.
Pathogenesis and genetics of the polydipsia-polyuria defect in the SWV strain of house mice
Creators: name: Virgo, Naomi Sheila
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: In the SWV strain of mice, old females have a severe increase in water intake and urine output. This polydipsia-polyuria defect was investigated. The SWV females' urine was hypotonic, contained no glucose or blood, and had no increase in protein or pH. The defect thus appeared to be some form of diabetes insipidus. The mice were then tested for their response to water deprivation, saline ingestion, and exogenous vasopressin (pitressin tannate). The results indicated that the defect was nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. Histological studies showed that there was an adequate amount of neurosecretory material in the posterior pituitaries and that the adrenals were normal. At 4 months of age, the SWV females' kidneys were normal, but from 6 months of age the kidneys were progressively abnormal until by 17 months the kidneys had severely degenerated. At 12 months of age the females' kidneys were abnormally large, hydronephrotic, and had severely dilated and hyperplastic tubules in the cortico-medullary zone. Some of the dilated tubules contained eosinophilic casts and there was some focal interstitial nephritis. At 17 months, the females' kidneys had severe interstitial nephritis and some fibrosis around the tubules, and some hyalinization in the cortex. The females also had a progressive anaemia but preliminary studies indicated no large increase in blood urea nitrogen. Thus the SWV females had a nephrogenic diabetes insipidus which first appeared at 4 to 6 months of age. While the defect resembled human nephro-nophthisis and hypokalemia in some symptoms, it did appear to be unique. Amyloid kidneys, polycystic kidneys, and diabetes mellitus have been ruled out as the cause of the defect but hypokalemia and hypercalcemia are still possibilities. The SWV males had a milder expression of the defect and did not show the polydipsia until 7 to 8 months of age. They had a milder form of the polydipsia, the concentrating defect, and the anaemia, but showed no kidney abnormalities. The defect was sex influenced possibly due to the difference in steroid hormones. Polydipsic SWV mice were crossed to control C3H mice and F₁, F₂, BC[sub SWV], and BC[sub C3H] progeny in each generation indicated that one or two dominant genes determined the polydipsic defect in the SWV strain. There was no sex linkage. A quantitative analysis of mean water intakes for each generation indicated that non-genetic factors influenced the polydipsia multiplicatively. Some of these non-genetic factors were sex, age, body weight, type of feed ration, and parity.

description: Excerpts from the report: The management job in most farmer cooperatives has become increasingly complex. Thus the need for professional management men with specialized training to handle specialized jobs is more acute. Farmer Cooperative Service undertook a study to get an inventory of just what management training was being offered in farmer cooperatives. It hopes this study will stimulate (1) improvement in management training methods and (2) expansion of training programs to cooperatives where no management training is given. This study covered managers, their key assistants, and boards of directors since they are all involved in policy decisions and management of cooperatives.

description: We present Hubble Space Telescope photometry of young stars in NGC 5102, a nearby gas-rich post-starburst S0 galaxy with a bright young stellar nucleus. We use the IAC-pop/MinnIAC algorithm to derive the recent star formation history in three fields in the bulge and disk of NGC 5102. In the disk fields, the recent star formation rate has declined monotonically and is now barely detectable, but a starburst is still in progress in the bulge and has added about 2 percent to the mass of the bulge over the last 200 Myr. Other studies of star formation in NGC 5102 indicate that about 20 percent of its stellar mass was added over the past Gyr. If this is correct, then much of the stellar mass of the bulge may have formed over this period. It seems likely that this star formation was fueled by the accretion of a gas-rich system with HI mass of about 2 x 10^9 Msol which has now been almost completely converted into stars. The large mass of recently formed stars and the blue colours of the bulge suggest that the current starburst, which is now fading, may have made a significant contribution to build the bulge of NGC 5102.

description: Cauchy Biorthogonal Polynomials appear in the study of special solutions to the dispersive nonlinear partial differential equation called the Degasperis-Procesi (DP) equation, as well as in certain two-matrix random matrix models. Another context in which such biorthogonal polynomials play a role is the cubic string; a third order ODE boundary value problem -f'''=zg f which is a generalization of the inhomogeneous string problem studied by M.G. Krein. A general class of such boundary value problems going beyond the original cubic string problem associated with the DP equation is discussed under the assumption that the source of inhomogeneity g is a discrete measure. It is shown that by a suitable choice of a generalized Fourier transform associated to these boundary value problems one can establish a Parseval type identity which aligns Cauchy biorthogonal polynomials with certain natural orthogonal systems on L^2_g.

State empathy and the kill-save ratio effect in moral decisions
Creators: name: Hopwood, AF
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: In hypothetical sacrificial dilemmas, efficient kill-save ratios promote utilitarian responses to moral decisions. Currently, the mechanism behind this effect is unknown. The empathy altruism hypothesis proposes that empathic concern and personal distress are motivational states that affect altruistic behaviour. We investigated a possible mediating effect of empathic concern and personal distress on kill-save ratio effect. Participants (N = 418) recruited via social media accessed an online survey, and were randomly presented with either an efficient (kill one to save 500) or inefficient (kill one to save 5) version of five possible hypothetical dilemmas, indicated whether they would sacrifice a hypothetical victim, then rated levels of empathic concern and personal distress about the victim. We predicted that participants presented with efficient kill-save ratios would make, on average, more utilitarian responses than those who were not, mediated by lower levels of empathic concern and personal distress in utilitarian responders. Although the kill-save ratio effect was significant, it did not affect empathic concern or personal distress. Follow-up ANOVAs showed higher empathic concern and personal distress in utilitarian responders. Empathic states appear to behave counter to trait empathy in utilitarian decisions as shown in previous studies, and do not mediate the kill-save ratio effect

description: We review attempts to estimate the influence of global cosmological expansion on local systems. Here `local' is taken to mean that the sizes of the considered systems are much smaller than cosmologically relevant scales. For example, such influences can affect orbital motions as well as configurations of compact objects, like black holes. We also discuss how measurements based on the exchange of electromagnetic signals of distances, velocities, etc. of moving objects are influenced. As an application we compare orders of magnitudes of such effects with the scale set by the apparently anomalous acceleration of the Pioneer 10 and 11 spacecrafts, which is 10^-9 m/s^2. We find no reason to believe that the latter is of cosmological origin. However, the general problem of gaining a qualitative and quantitative understanding of how the cosmological dynamics influences local systems remains challenging, with only partial clues being so far provided by exact solutions to the field equations of General Relativity.

description: Based on the renormalizable theory of gravitation recently proposed by Horava, we present a simple scenario to generate almost scale-invariant, super-horizon curvature perturbations. The anisotropic scaling with dynamical critical exponent z=3 implies that the amplitude of quantum fluctuations of a free scalar field generated in the early epoch of the expanding universe is insensitive to the Hubble expansion rate and, thus, scale-invariant. Those fluctuations are later converted to curvature perturbations by the curvaton mechanism or/and the modulated decay of heavy particles/oscillating fields. This scenario works, for example, for power law expansion a\propto t^p with p>1/3 and, thus, does not require inflation. Also, this scenario does not rely on any additional assumptions such as the detailed balance condition.

description: Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) is commonly used for protein solubilization prior to tryptic digestion, while inorganic salts, with SDS, are typically used during the extraction of macromolecules from biological samples in bottom-up proteomics. Above a certain threshold, the presence of inorganic salts and/or SDS interferes with electrospray ionizationmass spectrometric (ESI-MS) analysis of peptides and digested proteins. Sample preparation strategies have been developed to circumvent this issue. This work describes electric-field driven techniques for the removal of inorganic anions and SDS from relatively high conductivity and micellar sample solutions in microliter volumes of peptides and digested protein samples. The one-step inorganic anion removal process is based on controlling the apparent electrophoretic velocities of anions at a boundary that separated the sample and the acidic extraction solution (ES) in a fused-silica capillary. Removal of >80% inorganic anions and >80% analyte signal restoration were achieved. The applicability of the method was also extended to the removal of chloride ions prior to the analysis of low levels of arsenic and vanadium using inductively coupled plasma MS. The dodecyl sulfate (DS-) as sodium salts were electrokinetically removed offline using an acidic ES containing acetonitrile in a fused silica capillary dipped into the sample. The high amount of organic solvent collapses the micelle-peptide complex, releasing the peptide and thus is amenable to efficient removal of DS- from the sample solution. Percent MS signal intensity restoration of 74-83% and 89-95% percent MS signal intensity reduction of DS- were attained. Lastly, an online DS- removal system directly connected to the MS instrument was developed. The removal of DS-, and the retention and subsequent analysis of peptides were performed using an acidic ES with 40% acetonitrile. The mechanism was similar to the offline strategy and resulted in the high improvement of ESI-MS signals of peptides.
Of Labour and Liberty: Distributism in Victoria, 1891-1966
Creators: name: Mathews, Race

description: What will the future of work, social freedom, and employment look like? In an era of increased job insecurity and social dislocation, is it possible to reshape economics along democratic lines in a way that genuinely serves the interests of the community? _Of Labour and Liberty_ arises from Race Mathews's half-century and more of political and public policy involvement. It responds to evidence of a precipitous decline in active citizenship, resulting from a loss of confidence in politics, politicians, parties, and parliamentary democracy; the rise of 'lying for hire' lobbyism; increasing concentration of capital in the hands of a wealthy few; and corporate wrongdoing and criminality.\u000a\u000aIt also questions whether political democracy can survive indefinitely in the absence of economic democracy-of labor hiring capital rather than capital labor. It highlights the potential of the social teachings of the Catholic Church and the now largely forgotten Distributist political philosophy and program that originated from them as a means of bringing about a more equal, just, and genuinely democratic social order. It describes and evaluates Australian attempts to give effect to Distributism, with special reference to Victoria. And with an optimistic view to future possibilities it documents the support and advocacy of Pope Francis, and ownership by some 83,000 workers of the Mondragon cooperatives in Spain. This book will interest scholars and students of Catholic social teaching, history, economics, industrial relations, and business and management.

description: Using CLEO data, we report on the confirmation of the eta_b(1S0) ground state of bottomonium in the radiative decay Upsilon(3S) -> gamma eta_b. We determine its mass to be M(eta_b) = 9391.8 +- 6.6 +- 2.1 MeV, which corresponds to the hyperfine splitting Delta M_hf(1S) = 68.5 +- 6.6 +- 2.0 MeV, and the branching fraction B(Upsilon(3S) -> gamma eta_b) = (7.1 +- 1.8 +- 1.1) x 10^-4. These results agree with those previously reported by BaBar.

description: Several relevant aspects of quantum-field processes can be well described by semiclassical methods. In particular, the knowledge of non-trivial classical solutions of the field equations, and the thermal and quantum fluctuations around them, provide non-perturbative information about the theory. In this work, we discuss the calculation of the one-loop effective action from the semiclasssical viewpoint. We intend to use this formalism to obtain an accurate expression for the decay rate of non-static metastable states.

description: We have investigated temperature and magnetic-field dependence of dielectric properties in the orthorhombic GdMnO$_3$ single crystal which is located near the phase boundary between the ferroelectric/spiral-antiferromagnetic phase and the paraelectric/$A$-type-antiferromagnetic one. In this compound, strong phase competition between these two phases results in a unique phase diagram with large temperature and magnetic-field hystereses. Based on the phase diagram, we have successfully demonstrated the persistent and reversible phase switching between them by application of magnetic fields.

description: The motion of charmonium in heavy ion collisions is described by a three dimensional transport equation with initial production and continuous regeneration in hot medium. The observation of apparently stronger $J/ψ$ suppression at forward rapidity compared to that at midrapidity, so called $J/ψ$ puzzle at RHIC, can well be explained by the competition between the two production mechanisms. At LHC, however, the rapidity dependence of the $J/ψ$ production is dominated by the regeneration process.

description: X-ray emitting features originating from the interaction of supernova shock waves with small interstellar gas clouds are revealed in many X-ray observations of evolved supernova remnants (e.g. Cygnus Loop and Vela), but their interpretation is not straightforward. We develop a self-consistent method for the analysis and interpretation of shock-cloud interactions in middle-aged supernova remnants, which can provide the key parameters of the system and the role of relevant physical effects like the thermal conduction, without the need to run ad-hoc numerical simulations and to bother of morphology details. We explore all the possible values of the shock speed and cloud density contrast relevant to middle-aged SNRs with a set of hydrodynamic simulations of shock-cloud interaction, including the effects of thermal conduction and radiative cooling. From the simulations, we synthesize spatially and spectrally resolved focal-plane data as they would be collected with XMM-Newton/EPIC, an X-ray instrument commonly used in these studies. We devise and tune up two diagnostic tools, the first based on the mean-photon energy vs. count rate scatter plot and the second on the spectral analysis of the interaction region, that can be used to highlight the effects of thermal conduction and to derive the shock speed in case of efficient conduction at work. These tools can be used to ascertain information from X-ray observations, without the need to develop detailed and ad-hoc numerical models for the interpretation of the data.

description: Trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) contain the most primitive and thermally least-processed materials from the early accretional phase of the solar system. They allow us to study interrelations between various classes of small bodies, their origin and evolution. Using FORS1 of the ESO VLT, we have obtained linear-polarization measurements in the Bessell R filter for five TNOs at different values of their phase angle (i.e., the angle between the Sun, the object, and the Earth). Due to the large distance of the targets (> 30 AU), the observed range of phase angles is limited to about 0-2 deg. We have analyzed our new observations of five TNOs, and those of another four TNOs obtained in previous works, and discovered that there exist two classes of objects that exhibit different polarimetric behaviour. Objects with a diameter > 1000 km, such as, e.g., Pluto and Eris, show a small polarization in the scattering plane (~0.5%) which slowly changes in the observed phase angle range. In smaller objects such as, e.g., Ixion and Varuna, linear polarization changes rapidly with the phase angle, and reaches ~ 1% (in the scattering plane) at phase angle 1 deg. The larger objects have a higher albedo than the smaller ones, and have the capability of retaining volatiles such as CO, N2 and CH4. Both of these facts can be linked to their different polarimetric behaviour compared to smaller objects. In spite of the very limited range of observable phase angles, ground-based polarimetric observations are a powerful tool to identify different properties of the surfaces of TNOs. We suggest that a single polarimetric observation at phase angle ~1 deg allows one to determine whether the target albedo is low or high.
