description: Whether the Cygnus X complex consists of one physically connected region of star formation or of multiple independent regions projected close together on the sky has been debated for decades. The main reason for this puzzling scenario is the lack of trustworthy distance measurements. We aim to understand the structure and dynamics of the star-forming regions toward Cygnus X by accurate distance and proper motion measurements. To measure trigonometric parallaxes, we observed 6.7 GHz methanol and 22 GHz water masers with the European VLBI Network and the Very Long Baseline Array. We measured the trigonometric parallaxes and proper motions of five massive star-forming regions toward the Cygnus X complex and report the following distances within a 10% accuracy: 1.30+-0.07 kpc for W 75N, 1.46^{+0.09}_{-0.08} kpc for DR 20, 1.50^{+0.08}_{-0.07} kpc for DR 21, 1.36^{+0.12}_{-0.11} kpc for IRAS20290+4052, and 3.33+-0.11kpc for AFGL 2591. While the distances of W 75N, DR 20, DR 21, and IRAS 20290+4052 are consistent with a single distance of 1.40+-0.08 kpc for the Cygnus X complex, AFGL 2591 is located at a much greater distance than previously assumed. The space velocities of the four star-forming regions in the Cygnus X complex do not suggest an expanding Stroemgren sphere.

description: Increasing combustion efficiency saves huge amounts of fuel, decreases combustion pollution, and conserves the living environment. Among all the ways that are proposed for increasing combustion efficiency, utilizing porous media in the combustion zone is one of the best. High developing inner surface and turbulence structure of the gas flow through porous media make combustion totally different form that of free flame combustion. Due to the complexity of the porous structure and high temperature value of the combustion product, installing experimental devices to investigate the effects of the porous media on fluid behaviour in the combustion zone is difficult and expensive. In this situation numerical methods are utilized to investigate the flow behaviour for combustion in the porous media. However, simulation of combustion in the porous media by conventional CFD methods is not straight forward. Many assumptions and modifications are usually considered in conventional CFD methods for simulation of combustion in porous media. These modifications and assumptions are taken into consideration because of the different length and time scales, sharp gradient of variables, and complexity of the physical geometry. The Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) based on kinetic theory was recently introduced for simulation of fluid dynamics problems. Beside the other advantages, relatively simple implementation of the LBM in simulation of fluid flow especially for complex geometry systems attracting scientific attention in different fields of engineering. The special features of the LBM method make it suitable for simulation of combustion in porous media especially when the simulation performed in pore scale. Application of LBM in the simulation of combustion in porous media is performed in this study. Since combustion is consist of fluid flow, heat transfer, and chemical reaction, in the present study, step by step approach is adopted to develop a model and simulate the combustion in porous media. First, the LBM simulation of heat transfer and fluid flow in porous media are investigated. The predicted results are found to agree well with the existing data in literature. In this work, porous media is created by scattering solid obstacles inside the flow path and a new model is introduced for simulation of heat transfer in the porous matrix. As expected, distribution of temperature tends to be more uniform and the maximum temperature decreases when porous media is utilized in the combustion zone. Also, effects of the porous structure and its length on the combustion characteristics are investigated.

description: A numerical knee joint laxity model [1] was previously developed based on an in vivo measurement of knee joint laxity using the KLA and MR imaging [2] to enhance the understanding of the contribution of knee joint structures to passive knee joint stability. The credibility of the verified knee joint laxity model was assessed through an in vitro experimental setup by testing cadaveric specimens in an in situ knee loading apparatus (ISKLA) during MR imaging (for numerical model inputs), along with an ElectroForce test system (for direct measurement of individual ligament and contact forces). The model was found to overestimate the ACL forces by 27.61 %-92.71 %. The validation of force-displacement curves obtained from numerical analysis of MR image bony geometry was a key contribution of this study, particularly to the overall project goals of developing an in vivo laxity tool, with MR-based displacements and stiffness values found to be within 19.02%-26.75% and 13.42%-39.06% of direct experimental measurements.

description: Denver's urban wetlands are poorly mapped, understudied as critical wildlife habitat, and perpetually subject to frequent anthropogenic disturbance. As Denver County continues to lead the state in population growth, current information on the location and status of these wetlands is needed for city planners, land managers, and the public to prioritize conservation and restoration efforts. Our team conducted field-based wetland assessments at 27 sites within Denver County, as well 4 several locations in Denver's Mountain Parks. We used NatureServe's Environmental Integrity Assessment framework, a multi-metric index based on four major scoring categories: landscape context, biotic condition, hydrologic condition, and physiochemical condition. In addition, we used 2010 color infrared imagery to create an updated National Wetland Inventory GIS layer of wetlands in Denver County. NWI maps have not been updated for the County since 1985. We used our results to create a list of prioritized wetlands for conservation and restoration. Despite the poor ecological condition of most sites, our team identified urban wetlands with high plant diversity, rare plant species, and even a rare amphibian occurrence. Our results suggest that although the majority of these wetlands are highly disturbed, they provide critical refuges for wildlife and plant diversity in an otherwise developed landscape.
Thermodynamics as a theory of decision-making with information processing costs

description: Perfectly rational decision-makers maximize expected utility, but crucially ignore the resource costs incurred when determining optimal actions. Here we propose an information-theoretic formalization of bounded rational decision-making where decision-makers trade off expected utility and information processing costs. Such bounded rational decision-makers can be thought of as thermodynamic machines that undergo physical state changes when they compute. Their behavior is governed by a free energy functional that trades off changes in internal energy-as a proxy for utility-and entropic changes representing computational costs induced by changing states. As a result, the bounded rational decision-making problem can be rephrased in terms of well-known concepts from statistical physics. In the limit when computational costs are ignored, the maximum expected utility principle is recovered. We discuss the relation to satisficing decision-making procedures as well as links to existing theoretical frameworks and human decision-making experiments that describe deviations from expected utility theory. Since most of the mathematical machinery can be borrowed from statistical physics, the main contribution is to axiomatically derive and interpret the thermodynamic free energy as a model of bounded rational decision-making.

description: Oil upgrading at reservoir conditions via chemical reactions that break long hydrocarbon chains and improve viscosity is highly desirable for transportability of crude oils. Previous studies showed C-S and C-O bonds as main participants in reactions between water and organic compounds present in heavy oils, causing upgrading of crude oil at temperatures used in in-situ recovery processes. The rupture of C-C bonds in the heaviest molecular components seems also needed to reach the viscosity required for transportation. Thermodynamic calculations presented here for representative molecules of Athabasca Bitumen group families in presence of water illustrate the feasibility of primary reactions involving C-C bonds at relatively low (T>250°C) in-situ temperatures. Transition metal oxide particle catalysts involving Ni, Mo and Fe were tested, with a Ni-Fe oxides combination yielding the highest upgrading level of Athabasca bitumen. Results under different hydrogen partial pressure atmospheres suggest it may prevent water dissociation. The Ni-Fe catalyst was used in reactions with a model molecule (propylbenzene), to initiate the analysis of the chemistry behind the heavy oil tests performed.
Cosmological implications from the full shape of the large-scale power spectrum of the SDSS DR7 luminous red galaxies

description: We obtain cosmological constraints from a measurement of the spherically averaged power spectrum (PS) of the distribution of about 90000 luminous red galaxies (LRGs) across 7646 deg2 in the Northern Galactic Cap from the DR7 of the SDSS. The errors and mode correlations are estimated thanks to the 160 LasDamas mock catalogues, created in order to simulate the same galaxies and to have the same selection as the data. We apply a model, that can accurately describe the full shape of the PS with the use of a small number of free parameters. Using the LRG PS, in combination with the latest measurement of the temperature and polarisation anisotropy in the cosmic microwave background (CMB), the luminosity-distance relation from the largest available type 1a supernovae (SNIa) dataset and a precise determination of the local Hubble parameter, we obtain cosmological constraints for five different parameter spaces. When all the four experiments are combined, the flat LCDM model is characterised by Omega_M=0.259+-0.016, Omega_b=0.045+-0.001, n_s=0.963+-0.011, sigma_8=0.802+-0.021 and h=0.712+-0.014. When we consider curvature as a free parameter, we do not detect deviations from flatness: Omega_k=(1.6+-5.4)*10^{-3}, when only CMB and the LRG PS are used; the inclusion of the other two experiments do not improve this result. Considering the dark energy equation of state w_DE as time independent, we measure w_DE=-1.025+-0.065, for a flat geometry, w_DE=-0.981+-0.083 otherwise. When describing w_DE through a linear function of the scale factor, our results do not evidence any time evolution. In the next few years new experiments will allow to measure the clustering of galaxies with a precision much higher than achievable today. Models like the one used here will be a valuable tool in order to achieve the full potentials of the observations and obtain unbiased constraints on the cosmological parameters.

Pitfalls and Promises for a Global Ethics

Ethics

description: With so many others, I am in deep, appreciative, and enthusiastic support of the proposals and search for a global ethic that Hans Kung and Leonard Swidler have been advancing over the past years (Kung 1991; Swidler 1992). The "Declaration of a Global Ethic" that was approved by 250 religious leaders at the World Parliament of Religions in Chicago on 4 September 1993 (Kung and Kuschel 1993) represents a goal that all peoples and all religions must resolutely move toward if they are to exercise "global responsibility" in resolving the crises that face our planet as it enters the twenty-first century. (For a careful but sobering description and analysis of these multiple crises, see Kennedy [1993].) The critical remarks that follow are meant, in the fullest sense, to be a positive criticism--a support that will enable Kung, Swidler, and all of us to achieve this necessary goal of a global ethic that will ground a global responsibility. I fear that, unless the warnings and directions that I am suggesting are taken to heart, the path that Kung and Swidler are walking can either turn into a dead-end or, contrary to their intentions, lead to an end they are trying to avoid. In order to achieve a global ethic, Kung and Swidler propose an open-ended, pluralistic dialogue among all the religions and ideologies of the world. They endorse a genuinely pluralistic approach to elaborating this ethic. While I certainly agree that such pluralistic dialogue is indispensable for the formulation and acceptance of a global ethic, I want to add that indispensable to the success of such a dialogue is a clear recognition that this kind of pluralistic dialogue is as dangerous as it is necessary. To succeed in their proposal, Kung and Swidler must be aware of these dangers. I fear that they are not.

description: Wetlands are recognized as vital ecosystems to protect at all levels because of their importance in many ecological roles, including wildlife habitat. In Colorado they occupy approximately 2% of the state's area, yet provide habitat for over 75% of species in the state. A vast majority of Colorado's land is privately owned, making wetlands on private lands and collaborations with those private landowners an integral part of the protection and management of wetlands. Recognizing this fact, Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) awards up to $1.5 million annually for habitat improvement projects in wetlands, much of which occurs on private lands. To assist with their endeavor, the Colorado Natural Heritage Program (CNHP) has partnered with CPW to assess the condition and habitat value of wetlands in Colorado. The information gathered from these projects helps CPW target locations and wetland types most in need of restoration or habitat enhancement. To date, four major river basins have been assessed: the Rio Grande Headwaters, North Platte Watershed, South Platte Watershed, and the Lower Arkansas River Watershed. CNHP also strives to make the information from these studies available and useful for private landowners. Working with private landowners often necessitates a heightened awareness of data sensitivity, as landowners are concerned about who might have access to information about their land. CNHP takes these issues very seriously and takes several steps to protect private data, which has led to greater access to private lands around the state for data collection.

description: We propose a realization of the one-dimensional random dimer model and certain N-leg generalizations using cold atoms in an optical lattice. We show that these models exhibit multiple delocalization energies that depend strongly on the symmetry properties of the corresponding Hamiltonian and we provide analytical and numerical results for the localization length as a function of energy. We demonstrate that the N-leg systems possess similarities with their 1D ancestors but are demonstrably distinct. The existence of critical delocalization energies leads to dips in the momentum distribution which serve as a clear signal of the localization-delocalization transition. These momentum distributions are different for models with different group symmetries and are identical for those with the same symmetry.

Assessment of the derivative-moment transformation method for unsteady-load estimation

description: It is often difficult, if not impossible, to measure the aerodynamic or hydrodynamic forces on a moving body. For this reason, a traditional control-volume technique is typically ap­plied to extract the unsteady forces. However, measuring the acceleration term within the volume of interest can be limited by optical access, reflections as well as shadows. There­fore in this study an alternative approach, termed the Derivative-Moment Transformation (DMT) method, is introduced and tested on a synthetic data set produced using numerical simulations. The test case involves the unsteady loading of a flat plate in a two-dimensional, laminar periodic gust. The results suggest that the DMT method can accurately predict the acceleration term so long as appropriate spatial and temporal resolutions are maintained. It was shown that for large control volumes, and with realistic spatial resolution, the accuracy of the DMT method would also suffer. Therefore, a delicate compromise is required when selecting control-volume size in future experiments.

description: We have calculated cross sections for electron impact ionization (EII) of P-like Fe11+ forming Si-like Fe12+. We have used the flexible atomic code (FAC) and a distorted-wave (DW) approximation. Particular attention has been paid to the ionization through the 3l→nl′ and 2l→nl′ excitation autoionization (EA) channels. We compare our results to previously published FAC DW results and recent experimental results. We find that the previous discrepancy between theory and experiment at the EII threshold can be accounted for by the 3l→nl′ EA channels which were not included in the earlier calculations. At higher energies the discrepancy previously seen between theory and experiment for the magnitude of the 2l→nl′ (n≥4) EA remains, though the difference has been reduced by our newer results. The resulting Maxwellian rate coefficient derived from our calculations lies within 11% of the experimentally derived rate coefficient in the temperature range where Fe11+ forms in collisional ionization equilibrium.

description: Britain pursued a form of appeasement with Italy in the late 1930s. This has not be sufficiently studied, nor adequately integrated into the historiography of British diplomacy in the interwar period. This work examines the role of intelligence within the formation of British policy toward Italy from 1935-1940. It does so by using for the first time the intelligence record that influenced policy-makers. In particular, it analyzes the circumstances of Foreign Minister Anthony Eden's resignation from Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain's government in 1938 in opposition to Italian appeasement. It argues that Eden's position was based not on dislike of Mussolini or antiÂ­Italian feeling, but on his reasonable interpretation of open evidence and his careful reading of good but ambiguous intelligence. Chamberlain was convinced of his course and abilities, read intelligence incorrectly, circumvented the Foreign Office, forced Eden's resignation, and thereby undermined British diplomacy in pursuing his doomed efforts at appeasement.
Christomonism in Karl Barth‘s Evaluation of the Non-Christian Religions

Publisher: name: Columbia University

description: One of the sharpest and most constant criticisms which Paul Althaus leveled against Karl Barth's views of the non-Christian world was that of Christomonism. Althaus felt that the basic lack and the abiding sin in Barth's evaluation of the religions was his narrow, restrictive, exclusive understanding of the reality of Christ, which bans all extra-Christian reality into the realm of meaninglessness and godlessness. Althaus, indeed, was not alone in such accusations. He voiced an objection which, he felt, every Christian theologian must make: because Barth's vision of Christ was too narrow, too "monistic", because he set undue limitations on Christ — he missed the breadth of God's plan of salvation and the religions' role in this plan. Barth's understanding of religion and the religions is christomonistic — and therefore to be rejected. Is such a diagnosis correct? Unfortunately, Althaus, like many of Barth's critics, never spelled out in detail just how Christomonism vitiated his views of the religions. Others, therefore, warn of oversimplifying or misinterpreting Barth's sweeping, harshly condemnatory statements on the religions. The "Theologischer Konvent Augsburgischen Bekenntnisses" in 1963 cautioned against making a "Popanz" of Barth's description of religions in the Kirchliche Dogmatik. And more recently C. S. Song in a doctoral dissertation for Union Theological Seminary sweepingly affirms that those who criticize Barth's doctrine on the religions for its narrowness, have misread its deeper content: Barth's last word on the religions is positive! Finally it must be remembered that Barth's "cruelty" towards the religions was also aimed at Christianity. Can his final verdict therefore be totally negative or the product of Christomonism? It is the purpose of this article to carry out and, in a sense, to test Althaus' diagnosis. We will examine Barth's most direct and succinct treatment of the religions — Paragraph 17 of his Kirchliche Dogmatik (to be referred to as KD 17) — for the presence of Christomonism. To do this properly, our analysis of KD 17 will be made in the light of Barth's early encounter with the religions in his Römerbrief (second edition — referred to as RB). Such a study will indicate that Althaus' diagnosis, though simply and somewhat rashly stated, seems to be valid: Christomonism does form the deepest roots of Barth's evaluation of the religions. It was also the factor which marked the development of Barth's thinking on the religions from RB to KD 17 and which made his final verdict all the more negative and harsh.

description: The current two part study aimed to test the mood management theory (MMT) and develop a psychological profile to predict binge drinking in university students. Given the MMT, negative affect was hypothesized to be particularly relevant when considering predictors of binge drinking. However, it was also hypothesized that the relationship between negative affect and binge drinking would be influenced by additional variables and that when considered together the proposed profile (i.e., one based on negative affect, avoidant coping, and positive alcohol expectancies) would further increase the ability to predict binge drinking status. Study one developed this psychological profile and study two tested, using cross-validation, the validity of this profile in predicting future drinking. Study one found that ethnicity, low negative affect, and a two-way interaction between avoidant coping and positive alcohol expectancies predicted binge drinking status (i.e., non-binge drinker versus binge drinker) and number of binge drinking episodes. Examination of the two-way interaction revealed that those with high positive alcohol expectancies and high avoidant coping were the most likely to binge drink. The overall cross-validation accuracy in study two was 59.6%, which was approximately 10% lower than the classification rate in study one. The findings provided partial support for the current hypotheses; however, since low levels of negative affect predicted binge drinking, the mood management theory does not offer a sound explanation of binge drinking in the current sample.

description: Prior to activists' efforts in the women's movement, sexual assault (SA) received little attention from mass media and from the public in general. It is now depicted by the media as a serious social problem. The constructionist framework informs us that social problems must indeed be framed as problematic in order for the public to recognize them as such. The aim of this study is to explore the ways in which Canadian newspapers represent SA. A qualitative content analysis was conducted using a sample of 760 articles from one national and one local Canadian newspaper in order to gain a deeper understanding of how SA is depicted in the mass media, as well as to elucidate patterns of its representation. Important themes include depictions of the victim and the offender, situational characteristics, as well as a consideration of the broader political issues and societal reactions that recur in newspaper representations.

title: Helicity transport in a simulated coronal mass ejection

description: It has been suggested that coronal mass ejections (CMEs) remove the magnetic he-licity of their coronal source region from the Sun. Such removal is often regarded to be necessary due to the hemispheric sign preference of the helicity, which inhibits a simple annihilation by reconnection between volumes of opposite chirality. Here we monitor the relative magnetic he-licity contained in the coronal volume of a simulated flux rope CME, as well as the upward flux of relative helicity through horizontal planes in the simulation box. The unstable and erupting flux rope carries away only a minor part of the initial relative helicity; the major part remains in the volume. This is a consequence of the requirement that the current through an expanding loop must decrease if the magnetic energy of the configuration is to decrease as the loop rises, to provide the kinetic energy of the CME.

Reconstructing the Near-IR Background Fluctuations from known Galaxy Populations using Multiband Measurements of Luminosity Functions

description: We model fluctuations in the Cosmic Infrared Background (CIB) arising from known galaxy populations using 233 measured UV, optical and NIR luminosity functions (LF) from a variety of surveys spanning a wide range of redshifts. We compare best-fit Schechter parameters across the literature and find clear indication of evolution with redshift. Providing fitting formulae for the multi-band evolution of the LFs out to z~5, we calculate the total emission redshifted into the near-IR bands in the observer frame and recover the observed optical and near-IR galaxy counts to a good accuracy. Our empirical approach, in conjunction with a halo model describing the clustering of galaxies, allows us to compute the fluctuations of the unresolved CIB and compare the models to current measurements. We find that fluctuations from known galaxy populations are unable to account for the large scale CIB clustering signal seen by Spitzer/IRAC and AKARI/IRC and continue to diverge out to larger angular scales. This holds true even if the LFs are extrapolated out to faint magnitudes with a steep faint-end slope all the way to z=8. We also show that removing resolved sources to progressively fainter magnitude limits, isolates CIB fluctuations to increasingly higher redshifts. Our empirical approach suggests that known galaxy populations are not responsible for the bulk of the fluctuation signal seen in the measurements and favors a very faint population of highly clustered sources.

description: In a society where questions regarding animal rights are on the rise, people are increasingly aware of the oppressive use of animals. A 'contested' view of animals has recently become the subject of sociological inquiry. Addressing the 'problematic' role of horses in modem society, this study seeks to develop an in-depth understanding of how questions of 'use' or 'abuse' have been woven into the Calgary Stampede, as illustrated by the vast Canadian media coverage annually. Specifically, this project utilized a systematic content analysis of three Canadian newspapers, combined with individual interviews with key individuals involved in the horse-use debate. Using a figurational approach, this study explores how this debate is historically situated, and how broader societal trends regarding the treatment of animals have impacted the acceptance of chuckwagon racing and rodeo as 'sports', and how various rule changes have been implemented to legitimize these events in contemporary Canadian society.

description: We have measured electron impact ionization from the ground state of Fe9 + and Fe10 + over the relative electron-ion collision energy ranges 200-1900 eV and 250-1800 eV, respectively. The ions were confined in an ion storage ring long enough for essentially all metastable levels to radiatively relax to the ground state. For single ionization, we find a number of discrepancies between the existing theoretical cross sections and our results. The calculations appear to neglect some excitation-autoionization (EA) channels, particularly from n = 3 to n' excitations, which are important near threshold, and those from n = 2 → 3 excitations, which contribute at about 650 eV. Conversely, at higher energies the calculations appear to overestimate the importance of EA channels due to excitation into levels where n ≥ 4. The resulting experimental rate coefficients agree with the most recent theory for Fe9 + to within 16% and for Fe10 + to within 19% at temperatures where these ions are predicted to form in collisional ionization equilibrium. We have also measured double ionization of Fe9 + forming Fe11 + in the energy range 450-3000 eV and found that although there is an appreciable cross section for direct double ionization, the dominant mechanism appears to be through direct ionization of an inner shell electron producing an excited state that subsequently stabilizes through autoionization.
