A window into magmatic systems: mineralogical constraints on the nature and timing of magma interactions and ascent

description: Investigations into the time evolution of sub-volcanic magmatic systems are invaluable in order to improve our understanding of volcanic behaviours and associated hazards. The magmatic pathway from source to surface is usually complex and may involve many different processes, such as fractional crystallisation, magma mingling/mixing, and assimilation of wall rock in contact with the magma. These processes are recorded in the erupted deposits and can be found both at macroscopic (e.g., inclusions in the host rock, banded pumice, and xenoliths) and microscopic scales (e.g., rock-forming mineral textures and compositional zoning patterns). This thesis focused on mineral-scale studies of volcanic rocks in order to decipher the magmatic histories of volcanoes located in different tectonic settings: Soufriere Hills Volcano at Montserrat Island (Lesser Antilles; subduction zone), Gede Volcano in West Java (Indonesia; subduction zone), and Waitomokia Volcano (New Zealand; intraplate zone). Soufrière Hills Volcano has been studied through mineralogical textures and chemical compositions of plagioclase in its volcanic rocks. Diffusion modelling of magnesium in these plagioclase reveals timescales for magmatic interactions (basaltic andesite intrusion into the andesitic host) ranging from a few hours up to two months prior the eruption, inferred to be related to syn-eruptive processes. Gede Volcano produced rocks with plagioclase phenocrysts originally crystallised from the host andesite. These plagioclase show resorption areas from 20 to 400 microns in thickness, which imply timescales ranging from 1 to 10 days between the intrusion of new magma in the host and the eruption. Waitomokia Volcano has been characterised through olivine core compositions and zoning patterns within juvenile material produced during progressive eruption stages (from initial phreatomagmatic to final magmatic phase). It has been found that magma ascent from the mantle source to the surface is rapid, and yet that magma mixing has an important role in this small-volume plumbing system. In this work, the recognition of magmatic interactions via mixing and mingling processes within all the volcanic systems investigated shows complexity either in small- and large-scale volcanic systems. The findings from this work about the timescales of storage, transport and evolution of magma have important implications in the understanding of eruption triggers. The results for these three volcanoes are particularly relevant due to their location nearby populous cities, and therefore this work provides powerful results to support the interpretation of the monitoring signals, fundamental in case of future unrest situation.

description: Gaining insight about ensembles of magnetic configurations, that could originate the confining string tension between quarks, constitutes a major concern in current lattice investigations. This interest also applies to a different approach, where gauge models with spontaneous symmetry breaking are constructed to describe the confining string as a smooth vortex solution. In this article, we initially show how to incorporate non Abelian information into an ensemble of monopoles in $4D$, characterized by phenomenological parameters. Next, using some recent techniques developed for polymers, we were able to relate the coloured ensemble with a non Abelian gauge model. This could offer an interesting perspective to discuss some of the different approaches to describe confinement.

Year: 2004

description: The Municipal Stormwater Regulation Program addresses pollutants entering our waters from certain storm drainage systems owned or operated by local, county, state, interstate, or federal government agencies. The purpose of this Guidance Document is to assist the Tier A Municipalities in complying with the Tier A Permit. The permits address stormwater quality issues related to new development, redevelopment and existing developed areas by requiring the development of a stormwater program and implementation of specific permit requirements referred to as Statewide Basic Requirements (SBRs). The Guidance Document includes various chapters, many of which are solely dedicated to discussing specific permit requirements. These permit requirements are either SBRs or related Best Management Practices (BMPs). Each specific permit requirement, whether it be a SBR or BMP, is broken down into three section headings: "What is required?," "What does this mean?" and "Want to know more?" These section headings are intended to make understanding and implementing the permit language easier. This document also contains model ordinances for controlling stormwater and nonpoint source pollution.

description: The possibility of matter coupling to two metrics at once is considered. This appears natural in the most general ghost-free, bimetric theory of gravity, where it unlocks an additional symmetry with respect to the exchange of the metrics. This double coupling, however, raises the problem of identifying the observables of the theory. It is shown that if the two metrics couple minimally to matter, then there is no physical metric to which all matter would universally couple, and that moreover such an effective metric generically does not exist even for an individual matter species. By studying point particle dynamics, a resolution is suggested in the context of Finsler geometry.

description: We present the most general actions of a single scalar field and two scalar fields coupled to gravity, consistent with second order field equations in four dimensions, possessing local scale invariance. We apply two different methods to arrive at our results. One method, Ricci gauging, was known to the literature and we find this to produce the same result for the case of one scalar field as a more efficient method presented here. However, we also find our more efficient method to be much more general when we consider two scalar fields. Locally scale invariant actions are also presented for theories with more than two scalar fields coupled to gravity and we explain how one could construct the most general actions for any number of scalar fields. Our generalised scale invariant actions have obvious applications to early universe cosmology, and include, for example, the Bezrukov-Shaposhnikov action as a subset.

description: The Heisenberg uncertainty principle is one of the most famous features of quantum mechanics. However, the non-determinism implied by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle --- together with other prominent aspects of quantum mechanics such as superposition, entanglement, and nonlocality --- poses deep puzzles about the underlying physical reality, even while these same features are at the heart of exciting developments such as quantum cryptography, algorithms, and computing. These puzzles might be resolved if the mathematical structure of quantum mechanics were built up from physically interpretable axioms, but it is not. We propose three physically-based axioms which together characterize the simplest quantum system, namely the qubit. Our starting point is the class of all no-signaling theories. Each such theory can be regarded as a family of empirical models, and we proceed to associate entropies, i.e., measures of information, with these models. To do this, we move to phase space and impose the condition that entropies are real-valued. This requirement, which we call the Information Reality Principle, arises because in order to represent all no-signaling theories (including quantum mechanics itself) in phase space, it is necessary to allow negative probabilities (Wigner [1932]). Our second and third principles take two important features of quantum mechanics and turn them into deliberately chosen physical axioms. One axiom is an Uncertainty Principle, stated in terms of entropy. The other axiom is an Unbiasedness Principle, which requires that whenever there is complete certainty about the outcome of a measurement in one of three mutually orthogonal directions, there must be maximal uncertainty about the outcomes in each of the two other directions.

description: We show that, for general convolution approximations to a large class of log-correlated fields, including the 2d Gaussian free field, the critical chaos measures with derivative normalisation converge to a limiting measure μ'. This limiting measure does not depend on the choice of approximation. Moreover, it is equal to the measure obtained using the Seneta--Heyde renormalisation at criticality, or using a white-noise approximation to the field.

description: We study the spectrum of a large system of $N$ identical bosons interacting via a two-body potential with strength $1/N$. In this mean-field regime, Bogoliubov's theory predicts that the spectrum of the $N$-particle Hamiltonian can be approximated by that of an effective quadratic Hamiltonian acting on Fock space, which describes the fluctuations around a condensed state. Recently, Bogoliubov's theory has been justified rigorously in the case that the low-energy eigenvectors of the $N$-particle Hamiltonian display complete condensation in the unique minimizer of the corresponding Hartree functional. In this paper, we shall justify Bogoliubov's theory for the high-energy part of the spectrum of the $N$-particle Hamiltonian corresponding to (non-linear) excited states of the Hartree functional. Moreover, we shall extend the existing results on the excitation spectrum to the case of non-uniqueness and/or degeneracy of the Hartree minimizer. In particular, the latter covers the case of rotating Bose gases, when the rotation speed is large enough to break the symmetry and to produce multiple quantized vortices in the Hartree minimizer.

description: In accordance with the federal Clean Water Act, New Jersey developed the 2002 Integrated List of Waterbodies, addressing the overall water quality of the state's waters and identifying impaired waterbodies for which Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) may be necessary. The list identified several waterbodies in the Raritan Water Region as being impaired by pathogens, as indicated by the presence of fecal coliform concentrations in excess of standards. This report establishes 48 TMDLs addressing fecal coliform loads in waterbodies in the Raritan Water Region. These 48 TMDLs will serve as management approaches or restoration plans aimed at indentifying the sources of fecal coliform and for setting goals for fecal coliform load reductions in order to attain applicable surface water quality standards.

The Argyris isogeometric space on unstructured multi-patch planar domains

Publisher: name: arXiv

description: Multi-patch spline parametrizations are used in geometric design and isogeometric analysis to represent complex domains. We deal with a particular class of $C^0$ planar multi-patch spline parametrizations called analysis-suitable $G^1$ (AS-$G^{1}$) multi-patch parametrizations (Collin, Sangalli, Takacs; CAGD, 2016). This class of parametrizations has to satisfy specific geometric continuity constraints, and is of importance since it allows to construct, on the multi-patch domain, $C^1$ isogeometric spaces with optimal approximation properties. It was demonstrated in (Kapl, Sangalli, Takacs; CAD, 2018) that AS-$G^1$ multi-patch parametrizations are suitable for modeling complex planar multi-patch domains. In this work, we construct a basis, and an associated dual basis, for a specific $C^1$ isogeometric spline space $\mathcal{W}$ over a given AS-$G^1$ multi-patch parametrization. We call the space $\mathcal{W}$ the Argyris isogeometric space, since it is $C^1$ across interfaces and $C^2$ at all vertices and generalizes the idea of Argyris finite elements to tensor-product splines. The considered space $\mathcal{W}$ is a subspace of the entire $C^1$ isogeometric space $\mathcal{V}^{1}$, which maintains the reproduction properties of traces and normal derivatives along the interfaces. Moreover, it reproduces all derivatives up to second order at the vertices. In contrast to $\mathcal{V}^{1}$, the dimension of $\mathcal{W}$ does not depend on the domain parametrization, and $\mathcal{W}$ admits a basis and dual basis which possess a simple explicit representation and local support. We conclude the paper with some numerical experiments, which exhibit the optimal approximation order of the Argyris isogeometric space $\mathcal{W}$ and demonstrate the applicability of our approach for isogeometric analysis.

description: The recent BICEP2 report on the CMB B-mode polarization hints an early Universe energy density at the GUT scale. We add a new 'chaoton' term to our recently proposed hilltop potential to have a large tensor mode fluctuation. The chaoton field slides down from the hilltop when the inflaton field value is small so that an enough e-folding is possible. We also comment how the trans-Planckian decay constant is obtained from some discrete symmetries of ultra-violet completed models.

description: We strengthen the notion of "double samplers", first introduced by Dinur and Kaufman [Proc. 58th FOCS, 2017], which are samplers with additional combinatorial properties, and whose existence we prove using high dimensional expanders. The ABNNR code construction [IEEE Trans. Inform. Theory, 38(2):509--516, 1992] achieves large distance by starting with a base code $C$ with moderate distance, and then amplifying the distance using a sampler. We show that if the sampler is part of a larger double sampler then the construction has an efficient list-decoding algorithm. Our algorithm works even if the ABNNR construction is not applied to a base code $C$ but to any string. In this case the resulting code is approximate-list-decodable, i.e. the output list contains an approximation to the original input. Our list-decoding algorithm works as follows: it uses a local voting scheme from which it constructs a unique games constraint graph. The constraint graph is an expander, so we can solve unique games efficiently. These solutions are the output of the list decoder. This is a novel use of a unique games algorithm as a subroutine in a decoding procedure, as opposed to the more common situation in which unique games are used for demonstrating hardness results. Double samplers and high dimensional expanders are akin to pseudorandom objects in their utility, but they greatly exceed random objects in their combinatorial properties. We believe that these objects hold significant potential for coding theoretic constructions and view this work as demonstrating the power of double samplers in this context.

Adopting ethnographic approaches this project follows a team of under 9’s non-competitive team in a SW FA league, it analyses their private social media page and conducted 18 semi-structured interviews with life-long players, parents, coaches and referees. It advances a critical criminology of sport by presenting an alternative framework to Elias and the Civilising process by using contemporary critical criminology, namely ultra-realism and deviant leisure. By using ultra-realism and deviant leisure this study examines the underlying systemic harm which comes from the neoliberal environment of sport, including children’s non-competitive football.

description: We study the probabilistic degree over reals of the OR function on $n$ variables. For an error parameter $ε$ in (0,1/3), the $ε$-error probabilistic degree of any Boolean function $f$ over reals is the smallest non-negative integer $d$ such that the following holds: there exists a distribution $D$ of polynomials entirely supported on polynomials of degree at most $d$ such that for all $z \in \{0,1\}^n$, we have $Pr_{P \sim D} [P(z) = f(z) ] \geq 1- ε$. It is known from the works of Tarui ({Theoret. Comput. Sci.} 1993) and Beigel, Reingold, and Spielman ({ Proc. 6th CCC} 1991), that the $ε$-error probabilistic degree of the OR function is at most $O(\log n.\log 1/ε)$. Our first observation is that this can be improved to $O{\log {{n}\choose{\leq \log 1/ε}}}$, which is better for small values of $ε$. In all known constructions of probabilistic polynomials for the OR function (including the above improvement), the polynomials $P$ in the support of the distribution $D$ have the following special structure:$P = 1 - (1-L_1).(1-L_2)...(1-L_t)$, where each $L_i(x_1,..., x_n)$ is a linear form in the variables $x_1,...,x_n$, i.e., the polynomial $1-P(x_1,...,x_n)$ is a product of affine forms. We show that the $ε$-error probabilistic degree of OR when restricted to polynomials of the above form is $Ω( \log a/\log^2 a )$ where $a = \log {{n}\choose{\leq \log 1/ε}}$. Thus matching the above upper bound (up to poly-logarithmic factors).

description: Let W be a smooth complex quasiprojective variety with the action of a connected reductive group G. Adapting the stratification approach of Teleman to a microlocal context, we prove a vanishing theorem for the functor of G-invariant sections---i.e., of quantum Hamiltonian reduction---for G-equivariant twisted D-modules on W. As a consequence, when W is affine we establish an effective combinatorial criterion for exactness of the global sections functors of microlocalization theory. When combined with our earlier derived equivalence results, this gives precise criteria for "microlocalization of representation categories."

description: The cosmological 21cm signal is a physics-rich probe of the early Universe, encoding information about both the ionization and the thermal history of the intergalactic medium (IGM). The latter is likely governed by X-rays from star-formation processes inside very high redshift (z > 15) galaxies. Due to the strong dependence of the mean free path on the photon energy, the X-ray SED can have a significant impact on the interferometric signal from the cosmic dawn. Recent Chandra observations of nearby, star-forming galaxies show that their SEDs are more complicated than is usually assumed in 21cm studies. In particular, these galaxies have ubiquitous, sub-keV thermal emission from the hot interstellar medium (ISM), which generally dominates the soft X-ray luminosity (with energies < 1 keV, sufficiently low to significantly interact with the IGM). Using illustrative soft and hard SEDs, we show that the IGM temperature fluctuations in the early Universe would be substantially increased if the X-ray spectra of the first galaxies were dominated by the hot ISM, compared with X-ray binaries with harder spectra. The associated large-scale power of the 21cm signal would be higher by roughly a factor of three. More generally, we show that the peak in the redshift evolution of the large-scale (k = 0.2 1/Mpc) 21cm power is a robust probe of the soft-band SED of the first galaxies, and importantly, is not degenerate with their bolometric luminosities. On the other hand, the redshift of the peak constrains the X-ray luminosity and halo masses which host the first galaxies.

description: GRB 130427A was extremely bright as a result of occurring at low redshift whilst the energetics were more typical of high-redshift gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). We collected well-sampled light curves at 1.4 and 4.8 GHz of GRB 130427A with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (WSRT); and we obtained its most accurate position with the European Very Long Baseline Interferometry Network (EVN). Our flux density measurements are combined with all the data available at radio, optical and X-ray frequencies to perform broadband modeling in the framework of a reverse-forward shock model and a two-component jet model, and we discuss the implications and limitations of both models. The low density inferred from the modeling implies that the GRB 130427A progenitor is either a very low-metallicity Wolf-Rayet star, or a rapidly rotating, low-metallicity O star. We also find that the fraction of the energy in electrons is evolving over time, and that the fraction of electrons participating in a relativistic power-law energy distribution is less than 15%. We observed intraday variability during the earliest WSRT observations, and the source sizes inferred from our modeling are consistent with this variability being due to interstellar scintillation effects. Finally, we present and discuss our limits on the linear and circular polarization, which are among the deepest limits of GRB radio polarization to date.

Hybrid Strategies using Linear and Piecewise-Linear Decision Rules for Multistage Adaptive Linear Optimization

description: Decision rules offer a rich and tractable framework for solving certain classes of multistage adaptive optimization problems. Recent literature has shown the promise of using linear and nonlinear decision rules in which wait-and-see decisions are represented as functions, whose parameters are decision variables to be optimized, of the underlying uncertain parameters. Despite this growing success, solving real-world stochastic optimization problems can become computationally prohibitive when using nonlinear decision rules, and in some cases, linear ones. Consequently, decision rules that offer a competitive trade-off between solution quality and computational time become more attractive. Whereas the extant research has always used homogeneous decision rules, the major contribution of this paper is a computational exploration of hybrid decision rules. We first verify empirically that having higher uncertainty resolution or more linear pieces in early stages is more significant than having it in late stages in terms of solution quality. Then we conduct a comprehensive computational study for non-increasing (i.e., higher uncertainty resolution in early stages) and non-decreasing (i.e., higher uncertainty resolution in late stages) hybrid decision rules to illustrate the trade-off between solution quality and computational cost. We also demonstrate a case where a linear decision rule is superior to a piecewise-linear decision rule within a simulator environment, which supports the need to assess the quality of decision rules obtained from a look-ahead model within a simulator rather than just using the look-ahead model's objective function value.
A critical analysis of the Working Memory model of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

description: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is one of the foremost interventions for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Treatment aims to desensitise and reprocess trauma memories by combining imaginal exposure to the trauma with concurrent bilateral stimulation, usually in the form of eye movements (EMs). Multiple explanations have been proposed to account for therapeutic effect of EMs in EMDR. This thesis examined a leading theoretical account: the working memory (WM) hypothesis. To investigate the theory that EMs desensitise negative imagery in EMDR by taxing visuospatial WM, a series of experiments were conducted in which healthy subjects formed a visual image depicting a negative autobiographical memory while performing an EM task, an auditory task - designed to place similar demands on the central executive – and/or keeping both eyes stationary. We reliably found that EMs did not reduce image vividness and emotionality more than auditory interference. Evidence was mixed regarding the effect of EMs compared to fixation, although null-results may be explained by the use of a less powerful between-subjects design. These findings challenge the view that EMs interfere with distressing imagery in EMDR by taxing visuospatial WM, and are more consistent with the view that the general cognitive load of EMs can fully explain their desensitising effect on imagery in EMDR. An important gap in current understanding of EMDR is how the WM interference created by EMs contributes to the reprocessing of trauma memories. A novel procedure was developed for use in laboratory settings to test the prediction that EMs facilitate memory reprocessing. In an initial study, healthy participants allowed their mind to wander between sets of negative recall with concurrent EMs, or fixation. Preliminary results showed that EMs did not facilitate mind wandering, although this may have reflected limitations in the study design. This novel procedure provides an avenue for future research on a revised model of how WM interference contribute to important processes in EMDR, beyond the immediate desensitisation of imagery.

description: Electronic properties of kagome lattice have drawn great attention recently. In associate with flat-band induced by destructive interference and Dirac cone-type dispersion, abundant exotic phenomena have been theoretically discussed. The material realization of electronic kagome lattice is a crucial step towards comprehending kagome physics and achieving novel quantum phases. Here, combining angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, transport measurements and first-principle calculations, we expose a planar flat-band in paramagnetic YCr6Ge6 as a typical signature of electronic kagome lattice. We unearth that the planar flat-band arises from the d_(z^2 ) electrons with intra-kagome-plane hopping forbidden by destructive interference. On the other hand, the destructive interference and flatness of the d_(x^2-y^2 ) and d_xy bands are decomposed possibly due to additional in-plane hopping terms, but the Dirac cone-type dispersion is reserved near chemical potential. We explicitly unveil that orbital character plays an essential role to realize electronic kagome lattice in bulk materials with transition metal kagome layers. Paramagnetic YCr6Ge6 provides an opportunity to comprehend intrinsic properties of electronic kagome lattice as well as its interplays with spin orbit coupling and electronic correlation of Cr-3d electrons, and be free from complications induced by strong local moment of ions in kagome planes.
