description: Particle-accelerating colliding-wind binaries (PACWBs) are multiple systems made of early-type stars able to accelerate particles up to relativistic velocities. The relativistic particles can interact with different fields (magnetic or radiation) in the colliding-wind region and produce non-thermal emission. In many cases, non-thermal synchrotron radiation might be observable and thus constitute an indicator of the existence of a relativistic particle population in these multiple systems. To date, the catalogue of PACWBs includes about 40 objects spread over many stellar types and evolutionary stages, with no clear trend pointing to privileged subclasses of objects likely to accelerate particles. This paper aims at discussing critically some criteria for selecting new candidates among massive binaries. The subsequent search for non-thermal radiation in these objects is expected to lead to new detections of particle accelerators. On the basis of this discussion, some broad ideas for observation strategies are formulated. At this stage of the investigation of PACWBs, there is no clear reason to consider particle acceleration in massive binaries as an anomaly or even as a rare phenomenon. We therefore consider that several PACWBs will be detected in the forthcoming years, essentially using sensitive radio interferometers which are capable of measuring synchrotron emission from colliding-wind binaries. Prospects for high-energy detections are also briefly addressed.

description: Aims: To evaluate statin non-persistence and non-adherence as discrete processes in diabetes patients, and identify pharmacy-based predictors of these processes in the first year after statin initiation. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of statin initiators using a pharmacy database. Persistence and adherence were measured in the first, second and third year. Non-persistence was defined as a gap >180 days. Non-adherence was calculated in persistent patients and defined as a medication possession ratio <80%. Cox regression hazard ratios (HRs) and logistic regression odds ratios (ORs) were assessed for sociodemographic and medication-related factors as possible predictors. Results: Of 12,741 initiators, 20.0% were non-persistent in the first year, while 9.0% and 7.5% were non-persistent in the second and third years. Non-adherence in persistent patients increased from 13.4% in the first to 15.6% and 18.1% in the second and third years. Predictors of non-persistence were female gender (HR: 1.10; 95% CI: 1.01–1.19), older age (HR: 1.52; 95% CI: 1.31–1.75), primary prevention (HR: 1.10; 95% CI: 1.00–1.20), initiating on low dose (HR: 1.44; 95% CI: 1.07–1.94) or standard dose (HR: 1.56; 95% CI: 1.16–2.10), and no cardiovascular co-medication (HR: 1.19; 95% CI: 1.07–1.33), while patients with four or more other medications were more likely to be persistent. Age <50 years (OR: 1.47; 95% CI: 1.22–1.77), low socioeconomic status (OR: 1.27; 95% CI: 1.12–1.45) and primary prevention (OR: 1.21; 95% CI: 1.07–1.38) were predictors of non-adherence, while females were more likely to be adherent (OR: 0.87; 95% CI: 0.77–0.98). Conclusion: Non-persistence was the foremost problem in the first year after statin initiation, while non-adherence in persistent patients increased in the second and third years. Pharmacy-based predictors of statin non-persistence were different from predictors of non-adherence among persistent patients.

Learning past the pictures in the panels: teacher attitudes to manga and anime texts

description: This study of teacher attitudes to manga and anime texts in the New South Wales secondary English classroom explores what is visible and what becomes visible when we peer inside the multidimensional influences of teacher decision making for new and distinctive text choices. The specific purpose of this research is to analyse the question: "What are teachers' attitudes towards manga and anime texts for the Stage 4 and 5 English classroom?" Manga (serialised graphic stories) and anime (animation) are two related popular culture forms that originate from Japan but have proven to be of interest to readers and viewers outside of Japan. The focus of this investigation is on English teachers and librarians who have experience and knowledge of these texts. The choice to limit this study to single-sex girls' schools is to investigate in greater detail how teachers perceive female students as readers, and as readers and viewers of manga and anime texts. This research explores how teachers perceive, value and engage with manga and anime within the secondary English curriculum to better inform understandings of curriculum text choices and the ways in which these teachers situate their students as the recipients of those curriculum acts. In demonstrating a willingness to respond to student interests, and at times learn alongside them, the pedagogical practices of these teachers and librarians reveal the significance of distinctive text choices within the formal English curriculum.

description: Production planning in 3D printing factories brings new challenges among which the scheduling of parts to be produced stands out. A main issue is to increase the efficiency of the plant and 3D printers productivity. Planning, scheduling, and nesting in 3D printing are recurrent problems in the search for new techniques to promote the development of this technology. In this work, we address the problem for the suppliers that have to schedule their daily production. This problem is part of the LONJA3D model, a managed 3D printing market where the parts ordered by the customers are reorganized into new batches so that suppliers can optimize their production capacity. In this paper, we propose a method derived from the design of combinatorial auctions to solve the nesting problem in 3D printing. First, we propose the use of a heuristic to create potential manufacturing batches. Then, we compute the expected return for each batch. The selected batch should generate the highest income. Several experiments have been tested to validate the process. This method is a first approach to the planning problem in 3D printing and further research is proposed to improve the procedure

description: Mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON) is secondary metabolit of Fusarium fungi, and belongs to the large group of mycotoxins called trichothecenes. DON can co-occur in grains and in cereal-based food together with its acetyl derivatives (3-acetyl-deoxynivalenol (3-Ac-DON), 15-acetyl-deoxynivalenol (15-Ac-DON), as well as etc. “masked mycotoxins“ (deoxynivalenol-3-glucoside (DON-3-glucoside)). Grains and grain-based products are main sources ffor human exposure to DON and its derivatives. Samples intended for the determination DON, 3-Ac-DON, 15-Ac-DON-a i DON-3-glucoside were collected in period from 2014 to 2016 and included 21 food groups. DON is rapidly absorbed, distributed, and excreted from body. Since 3-Ac-DON and 15-Ac-DON are largely deacetylated and DON-3-glucoside cleaved in the intestines the same toxic effects as DON can be expected. The TDI of 1 μg/kg bw per day, that was established for DON based on reduced body weight gain in mice, was therefore used as a group-TDI for the sum of DON, 3-Ac-DON, 15-Ac-DON and DON-3-glucoside. Results of exposure assessment show that average intake for DON and its derivatives for average occurrence scenario (UB) is 0,27 μg/kg bw/day and for high occurrence scenario (UB) 0,36 μg/kg bw/day. In both scenarios even 95th percentile of exposure (UB) is below TDI value (1 μg/kg bw per day). In average occurrence scenario (UB) 2,65% of population exceeds the TDI level and 4% in high occurrence scenario (UB). Considering this results and taking into count the existing uncertainties in exposure assessment, it is possible to conclude how potential health risk for adult Croatian population is very low, almost negligible.

description: We present radio and mm continuum observations of the Galactic center taken with the VLA and ALMA at 44 and 226 GHz, respectively. We detect radio and mm emission from IRS 3, lying ~4.5" NW of Sgr A*, with a spectrum that is consistent with the photospheric emission from an AGB star at the Galactic center. Millimeter images reveal that the envelope of IRS 3, the brightest and most extended 3.8$μ$m Galactic center stellar source, consists of two semi-circular dust shells facing the direction of Sgr A*. The outer circumstellar shell at the distance of 1.6$\times10^4$ AU, appears to break up into "fingers" of dust directed toward Sgr A*. These features coincide with molecular CS (5-4) emission and a near-IR extinction cloud distributed between IRS 3 and Sgr A*. The NE-SW asymmetric shape of the IRS 3 shells seen at 3.8 micron and radio are interpreted as structures that are tidally distorted by Sgr A*. Using the kinematics of CS emission and the proper motion of IRS 3, the tidally distorted outflowing material from the envelope after 5000 years constrains the distance of IRS 3 to $\sim$0.7 pc in front of or $\sim$0.5 pc behind Sgr A*. This suggests that the mass loss by stars near Sgr A* can supply a reservoir of molecular material near Sgr A*. We also present dark features in radio continuum images coincident with the envelope of IRS 3. These dusty stars provide examples in which high resolution radio continuum images can identify dust enshrouded stellar sources embedded an ionized medium.

description: We investigate the existence and properties of traveling waves for the Euler-Korteweg system with general capillarity and pressure. Our main result is the existence in dimension two of waves with arbitrarily small energy. They are obtained as minimizers of a modified energy with fixed momentum. The proof follows various ideas developed for the Gross-Pitaevskii equation (and more generally nonlinear Schrödinger equations with non zero limit at infinity). Even in the Schrödinger case, the fact that we work with the hydrodynamical variables and a general pressure law both brings new difficulties and some simplifications. Independently, in dimension one we prove that the criterion for the linear instability of traveling waves from [6] actually implies nonlinear instability.

description: Presentation delivered at Tectonic Studies Group AGM, Plymouth, January 2018.
It is broadly accepted that groups of geoscientists interpreting datasets could generate at least as many interpretations as the number of people involved.
 Using a single dataset the authors demonstrate creation of alternate feasible interpretation cases, each validated by modern industry workflows. Contemporary approaches to subsurface uncertainty often captures expected variations (aleatory variability), but fail to robustly consider different plausible scenarios (epistemic uncertainty).
 It is common in subsurface disciplines to refer to aleatory variability and epistemic uncertainty collectively as ‘uncertainty.’ We use seismic forward modelling to demonstrate that weighting alternate structural geometries as different cases within the epistemic uncertainty considerably changes the predicted probability distribution of potential volumes.
 Compiling risked volume estimates using alternate assessment metrics we demonstrate the selected approach could considerably effect the outcome of the decision-making process.
 This approach empathises the poly-modality of risked volumes and suggests that application of ‘best-guess’ approaches may relegate some foreseeable alternate cases to the realms of ‘unknown-unknowns’.
 We suggest broader knowledge of this topic may provide a path to more effective expert elicitation between subsurface disciplines.
Investigation of the properties of adipose-derived cells and secretions

Publisher: name: Macquarie University

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Adipose tissue is no longer considered to be a simple energy storage organ but is now recognized as an endocrine organ which plays a role in a number of bodily processes. Adipose tissue is also a rich source of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which has made it an attractive tissue for adult cell therapy. Relatively large quantities can be obtained at very low risk, discomfort or inconvenience to the patient using routine liposuction and it can be processed rapidly with minimal manipulation and re-administered to the patients area of need. Consequently, cultured MSCs and uncultured adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction cells (SVF) alone, or combined with other cells such as adipocytes, are being offered commercially for the treatment of a variety of diseases. Whilst a significant amount of research has been performed and published on MSCs, many of these studies have focused on the ability to differentiate these cells into a target cell type and their subsequent therapeutic use in this differentiated state. However, secretions are now considered to be a major driver of the therapeutic effect of cell therapy and therefore in vitro assessments of differentiation potential are not an appropriate measure of in vivo efficacy of the cells. This thesis focused on investigating the in vitro secretion capabilities of different adipose-derived cell populations and their subsequent in vivo use. Using a multiplex cytokine analysis approach, this work demonstrated that the entire cellular composition of adipose tissue (the SVF with adipocytes) produces a distinct secretion profile in vitro when compared to the secretion profiles from isolated cell populations. The administration of these secretions from different adipose-derived cell populations to a collagen antibody-induced arthritis model in mice confirmed the in vitro secretion profile results. These results indicated that the use of the entire cellular composition of adipose tissue, the SVF with adipocytes, is a viable therapeutic. Additionally, the adipose-derived cell populations were exposed to a limited number of environmental conditions in vitro to investigate whether a targeted set of secretions could be produced for the treatment of a particular disease. These results indicated that secretion profiles of adipose-derived cell populations could be modulated by different environmental conditions and consequently, the use of secretions as an adjunct or subsequent booster after cellular therapy may be an attractive option for the treatment of inflammatory diseases and degenerative conditions. The work presented in this thesis also demonstrated that a multiplex cytokine analysis approach can be used as a measure of the secretion capabilities of cells in vitro, a predictor of in vivo efficacy and as an objective biological metric of the treatment effect in vivo.
Complex far fields and optical singularities due to propagation beyond tight focusing: combined effects of wavefront curvature and aperture diffraction

description: All optical systems, which involve the collimation of a reflected, transmitted or scattered wave subsequent to tight focusing, are subject to two kinds of deviations. One is the wavefront curvature due to inaccurate focal placement of the interface or scatterer particle under consideration, and the other is the diffraction caused by the finite lens aperture. In the present paper we explore these phenomena in detail by considering a rigorous simulated model and an appropriate experimental setup. We hence demonstrate the complicated intensity profiles and optical singularity characteristics of the observed far field. Then we describe ways to minimize these deviations in a general experiment. But more importantly, our analysis proves that these deviations by themselves are significant optical phenomena of fundamental interest. The observed complex field profiles have similarities to standard diffraction-limited tight focal fields, though our field detection is different from the standard schemes. This indicates the relevance of these complex fields to a larger class of systems involving wavefront curvature and aperture diffraction. The detailed analysis and results of the present paper already serve as core explorations of these optical phenomena; and we also suggest future research directions where these system aspects can be purposefully created and explored further.

Riesz Transform estimates in the absence of a preservation condition and applications to the Dirichlet Laplacian

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: R. Strichartz in [68] asked whether the Lp boundedness of the Riesz transform observed on Rn could be extended to a reasonable class of non-compact manifolds. Many partial answers have been given since. One such answer given by Auscher, Coulhon, Duong and Hofmann in [5] tied the Lp boundedness of the Riesz transform to the Lp boundedness of the Gaffney inequality. Their result was for p > 2 and held on noncompact manifolds satisfying doubling and Poincaré conditions, along with a stochastic completeness or preservation condition. In this thesis the results of [5] are adapted to prove Lp bounds, p > 2, for Riesz transform variations in cases where a preservation condition does not hold. To compensate for the lack of a preservation condition, two new conditions are required. The results are general enough to apply in a large number of circumstances. Two extensions on this result are additionally presented. The first extension is to non-doubling domains. This extension is specifically in the circumstance of a manifold with boundary and Dirichlet boundary conditions. An added benefit of this non-doubling extension is that the Poincaré inequality is no longer required near the boundary. The second extension shows that the weighted Lp boundedness of the Riesz transform observed on Rn can also be extended in some degree to a reasonable class of non-compact manifolds. This second extension includes generalised deriving of weight classes associated to skewed maximal functions and other operators. This thesis also contains applications to the case of the Dirichlet Laplacian on various subsets of Rn. The overall work and particularly the application are motivated by recent results from Killip, Visan and Zhang in [48].

description: Borrowing from the concept of keystone species in ecological food webs, a recent focus in the field of animal behaviour has been keystone individuals: individuals whose impact on population dynamics is disproportionally larger than their frequency in the population. In populations evolving culture, such may be the role of high-magnitude innovators: individuals whose innovations are a major departure from the population's existing behavioural repertoire. Their effect on cultural evolution is twofold: they produce innovations that constitute a ‘cultural leap', and, once copied, their innovations may induce further innovations by conspecifics (socially induced innovations), as they explore the new behaviour themselves. I use computer simulations to study the coevolution of independent innovations, socially induced innovations and innovation magnitude, and show that while socially induced innovation is assumed here to be less costly than independent innovation, it does not readily evolve. When it evolves, it may in some conditions select against independent innovation and lower its frequency, despite it requiring independent innovation in order to operate; at the same time, however, it leads to much faster cultural evolution. These results confirm the role of high-magnitude innovators as keystones, and suggest a novel explanation for low frequency of independent innovation.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Bridging cultural gaps: interdisciplinary studies in human cultural evolution'.

description: Simulation of stochastic variation from sampling error. In a separate study, we recorded the behavior of one male for one hour on Day 5 and then sampled at 5-minute intervals, which allowed us to calculate for each 5-minute sample the deviation from the proportion of time fanning occurred across the entire hour. We used these data to simulate deviations that may occur due to sampling error and added these deviations to each data point, under the condition that fanning was not allowed to be less than 0 or greater than 300 seconds. We then recalculated the heritability estimate from the animal model. This was then repeated 1,000 times to give a range of heritability estimates expected if the deviations were as large as those observed in our 11 five-minute sessions. The distribution of heritability estimates is displayed as a histogram. The heritability estimate from the actual data presented in the paper is indicated by the red vertical dashed line.

description: High-mass stars form within star clusters from dense, molecular regions, but is the process of cluster formation slow and hydrostatic or quick and dynamic? We link the physical properties of high-mass star-forming regions with their evolutionary stage in a systematic way, using Herschel and Spitzer data. In order to produce a robust estimate of the relative lifetimes of these regions, we compare the fraction of dense, molecular regions above a column density associated with high-mass star formation, N(H2) > 0.4-2.5 x 10^22 cm^-2, in the 'starless (no signature of stars > 10 Msun forming) and star-forming phases in a 2x2 degree region of the Galactic Plane centered at l=30deg. Of regions capable of forming high-mass stars on ~1 pc scales, the starless (or embedded beyond detection) phase occupies about 60-70% of the dense, molecular region lifetime and the star-forming phase occupies about 30-40%. These relative lifetimes are robust over a wide range of thresholds. We outline a method by which relative lifetimes can be anchored to absolute lifetimes from large-scale surveys of methanol masers and UCHII regions. A simplistic application of this method estimates the absolute lifetimes of the starless phase to be 0.2-1.7 Myr (about 0.6-4.1 fiducial cloud free-fall times) and the star-forming phase to be 0.1-0.7 Myr (about 0.4-2.4 free-fall times), but these are highly uncertain. This work uniquely investigates the star-forming nature of high-column density gas pixel-by-pixel and our results demonstrate that the majority of high-column density gas is in a starless or embedded phase.

description: The ATLAS Google Project was established as part of an ongoing evaluation of the use of commercial clouds by the ATLAS Collaboration, in anticipation of the potential future adoption of such resources by WLCG grid sites to fulfil or complement their computing pledges. Seamless integration of Google cloud resources into the worldwide ATLAS distributed computing infrastructure was achieved at large scale and for an extended period of time, and hence cloud resources are shown to be an effective mechanism to provide additional, flexible computing capacity to ATLAS. For the first time a total cost of ownership analysis has been performed, to identify the dominant cost drivers and explore effective mechanisms for cost control. Network usage significantly impacts the costs of certain ATLAS workflows, underscoring the importance of implementing such mechanisms. Resource bursting has been successfully demonstrated, whilst exposing the true cost of this type of activity. A follow-up to the project is underway to investigate methods for improving the integration of cloud resources in data-intensive distributed computing environments and reducing costs related to network connectivity, which represents the primary expense when extensively utilising cloud resources.

description: The Dorokhov-Mello-Pereyra-Kumar (DMPK) equation, using in the analysis of quasi-one-dimensional systems and describing evolution of diagonal elements of the many-channel transfer matrix, is derived under minimal assumptions on the properties of channels. The general equation is of the diffusion type with a tensor character of the diffusion coefficient and finite values of non-diagonal components. We suggest three different forms of the diagonal approximation, one of which reproduces the usual DMPK equation and its generalization suggested by Muttalib and co-workers. Two other variants lead to equations of the same structure, but with different definitions of entering them parameters. They contain additional terms, which are absent in the first variant.

description: Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre has remained a playground for essentially different variations of adapting, revisioning and rewriting since its publication in 1847 until now. It can be read as a romance, in which Jane and Mr Rochester are finally reunited and married. However, it can also be interpreted as a novel that challenges and criticises power relations and class hierarchies. This thesis explores the intertextual relationship between the chosen neo-Victorian novels, Charlotte by D.M. Thomas and Coldwater by Mardi McConnochie in relation to their pretexts, Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys and Jane Eyre. The aim of this thesis is to offer new ways in which to understand feminist and postcolonial theory within neo-Victorian rewritings. The focus of this analysis is on the development of the construction of Victorian womanhood presented in Jane Eyre and its impact on the twenty-first century perception of female characters. In order to explore how the representations of women as well as the approach of writing back have evolved within Neo-Victorian Studies, this project adopts an intertextual comparative approach. Neo-Victorian novels have reshaped the literary heroine due to feminist and postcolonial criticism while partly supporting the development of female stereotypes as well.

description: The analysis of multiple populations (MPs) in globular clusters, both spectroscopically and photometrically, is key in understanding their formation and evolution. The relatively narrow Johnson U, F336W, and Stromgren and Sloan u filters have been crucial in exhibiting these MPs photometrically, but in Paper I we showed that the broader Washington C filter can more efficiently detect MPs in the test case globular cluster NGC 1851. In Paper I we also detected a double MS that has not been detected in previous observations of NGC 1851. We now match this photometry to NGC 1851's published RGB abundances and find the two RGB branches observed in C generally exhibit different abundance characteristics in a variety of elements (e.g., Ba, Na, and O) and in CN band strengths, but no single element can define the two RGB branches. However, simultaneously considering [Ba/Fe] or CN strengths with either [Na/Fe], [O/Fe], or CN strengths can separate the two photometric RGB branches into two distinct abundance groups. Matches of NGC 1851's published SGB and HB abundances to the Washington photometry shows consistent characterizations of the MPs, which can be defined as an O-rich/N-normal population and an O-poor/N-rich population. Photometric synthesis for both the Washington C filter and the F336W filter finds that these abundance characteristics, with appropriate variations in He, can reproduce for both filters the photometric observations in both the RGB and the MS. This photometric synthesis also confirms the throughput advantages that the C filter has in detecting MPs.

From Aphrodite to Isis 'of the Sea': connecting conceptions of a saving sea goddess

Publisher: name: Macquarie University

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis concerns processes of change. It addresses the argument that the idea of Isis as a protective sea-goddess was the creation of the Greek rulers of Egypt early in the third century BC, through the syncretism of Arsinoe II, Aphrodite and Isis. It asks whether the emergence of marine Isis may be better understood as an outcome of a largely undirected dynamic of religious persistence and change in Egypt and the Eastern Mediterranean over the long term. The heuristic of 'network thinking' is used to identify and analyse evidence for the dynamic interaction of divine powers, for syncretic processes and certain crystallising 'syncretic' moments. It will be argued that it is not sufficient to simply locate apparent evidence of assimilation and draw conclusions that neatly fit within a narrative ; an interrogation of syncretic processes and the workings of power, agency and context is needed. Isis in her marine aspect was not entirely new nor wholly 'Greek' or 'Egyptian'. The key driver of change was not directed political power, rather change was brought about by the shared semantic dimension of polytheistic religion, the broader interacting conception of Isis as a saviour goddess, the needs of worshippers, and the cumulative effect of their individual acts of worship.

description: The Principle of Maximum Conformality (PMC) provides scale-fixed perturbative QCD predictions which are independent of the choice of the renormalization scheme, as well as the choice of the initial renormalization scale. In this article, we will test the PMC by comparing its predictions for the strong coupling α^s_{g_1}(Q), defined from the Bjorken sum rule, with predictions using conventional pQCD scale-setting. The two results are found to be compatible with each other and with the available experimental data. However, the PMC provides a significantly more precise determination, although its domain of applicability (Q \gtrsim 1.5 GeV) does not extend to as small values of momentum transfer as that of a conventional pQCD analysis (Q \gtrsim 1 GeV). We suggest that the PMC range of applicability could be improved by a modified intermediate scheme choice or using a single effective PMC scale.

description: Medium voltage converters are becoming more relevant in future grid applications. Especially more wind and PV generation systems will be have to added and integrated into the grid in order to achieve the required reduction in CO2 emissions. High power generation units will be integrated into the grid at medium voltage level. Furthermore meshed MV grids will require interties based on MV converter technology. Today's standard medium voltage converters are either based on the MMC technology or us 3L/5L approaches operated at low switching frequencies and containing bulky filters. Both concepts still lead to relatively high costs and low efficiencies which are major reasons for the slow spread of power converters in medium voltage grid applications.. Future grid applications demand less distortion, higher reliability and lower costs for converter systems at each voltage level. The Quasi-Two-Level operation of the flying capacitor multilevel converter with silicone-carbide (SiC) based semiconductors is a method for achieving these requirements for medium voltage converters. This paper presents a new concept for minimizing capacitance and balancing the capacitors with fast switching semiconductors. Moreover, a novel approach for limiting the overvoltage stress caused by the Quasi-Two-Level modulation of a flying capacitor converter is presented.
Faraday rotation in GRMHD simulations of the jet launching zone of M87

description: Non-VLBI measurements of Faraday rotation at mm wavelengths have been used to constrain mass accretion rates ($\mdot$) onto supermassive black holes in the centre of the Milky Way and in the centre of M87. We constructed general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics models for these sources that qualitatively well describe their spectra and radio/mm images invoking a coupled jet-disk system. Using general relativistic polarized radiative transfer, we now also model the observed mm rotation measure (RM) of M87. The models are tied to the observed radio flux, however, electron temperature and accretion rate are degenerate parameters and are allowed to vary. For the inferred low viewing angles of the M87 jet, the RM is low even as the black hole $\mdot$ increases by a factor of $\simeq100$. In jet-dominated models, the observed linear polarization is produced in the forward-jet, while the dense accretion disk depolarizes the bulk of the near-horizon scale emission which originates in the counter-jet. In the jet-dominated models, with increasing $\mdot$ and increasing Faraday optical depth one is progressively sensitive only to polarized emission in the forward-jet, keeping the measured RM relatively constant. The jet-dominated model reproduces a low net-polarization of $\simeq1$ per cent and RMs in agreement with observed values due to Faraday depolarization, however, with $\mdot$ much larger than the previously inferred limit of $9\times10^{-4}\,\mdotu$. All jet-dominated models produce much higher RMs for inclination angles $i\gtrsim30^\circ$, where the line-of-sight passes through the accretion flow, thereby providing independent constraints on the viewing geometry of the M87 jet.

Properties of Nuclear Star Clusters in Low Surface Brightness Galaxies

description: Using the SMUDGes and SDSS catalogs, and our own reprocessing of the Legacy Surveys imaging, we investigate the properties of nuclear star clusters (NSCs) in galaxies having central surface brightnesses as low as 27 mag arcsec$^{-2}$. We identify 273 (123 with known redshift) and 32 NSC-bearing galaxies in the two samples, respectively, where we require candidate NSCs to have a separation of less than 0.10$r_e$ from the galaxy center. We find that galaxies with low central surface brightness ($μ_{0,g} > 24$ mag arcsec$^{-2}$) are more likely to contain an NSC if 1) they have a higher stellar mass, 2) a higher stellar to total mass ratio, 3) a brighter central surface brightness, 4) a larger axis ratio, or 5) lie in a denser environment. Because of the correlations among these various quantities, it is likely that only one or two are true physical drivers. We also find scaling relations for the NSC mass with stellar mass ($M_{NSC}/$\Msol$ = 10^{6.02\pm0.03}(M_{*,gal}/10^{8} $\Msol$)^{0.77\pm0.04}$) and halo mass ($M_{NSC}/$\Msol$ = 10^{6.11\pm0.05}(M_{h,gal}/10^{10} $\Msol$)^{0.92\pm0.05}$), although it is the scaling with halo mass that is consistent with a direct proportionality. In galaxies with an NSC, $M_{NSC} \approx 10^{-4}M_{h,gal}$. This proportionality echoes the finding of a direct proportionality between the mass (or number) of globular clusters (GCs) in galaxies and the galaxy's total mass. These findings favor a related origin for GCs and NSCs.

description: Today, scientific research is increasingly data-centric and compute-intensive, relying on data and models across distributed sources. However, it still faces challenges in the traditional cooperation mode, due to the high storage and computing cost, geo-location barriers, and local confidentiality regulations. The Jupyter environment has recently emerged and evolved as a vital virtual research environment for scientific computing, which researchers can use to scale computational analyses up to larger datasets and high-performance computing resources. Nevertheless, existing approaches lack robust support of a decentralized cooperation mode to unlock the full potential of decentralized collaborative scientific research, e.g., seamlessly secure data sharing. In this work, we change the basic structure and legacy norms of current research environments via the seamless integration of Jupyter with Ethereum blockchain capabilities. As such, it creates a Decentralized Virtual Research Environment (D-VRE) from private computational notebooks to decentralized collaborative research ecosystem. We propose a novel architecture for the D-VRE and prototype some essential D-VRE elements for enabling secure data sharing with decentralized identity, user-centric agreement-making, membership, and research asset management. To validate our method, we conducted an experimental study to test all functionalities of D-VRE smart contracts and their gas consumption. In addition, we deployed the D-VRE prototype on a test net of the Ethereum blockchain for demonstration. The feedback from the studies showcases the current prototype's usability, ease of use, and potential and suggests further improvements.
