description: In this paper we obtain, by the method of Loewner chains, some sufficient conditions for the analyticity and the univalence of the functions defined by an integral operator. These conditions in- volves Ruscheweyh and Salagean derivative operator in the open unit disk. In particular cases, we find the well-known conditions for univalency established by Becker [3], Ahlfors [2], Kanas and Srivastava [8] and others for analytic mappings f : U ! C: Also, we obtain the corresponding new, useful and simpler conditions for this integral operator.

X-Ray, FUV, and UV Observations of alpha Centauri B: Determination of Long-term Magnetic Activity Cycle and Rotation Period

description: We have been carrying out a study of stellar magnetic activity, dynamos, atmospheric physics, and spectral irradiances from a sample of solar-type G0-5 V stars with different ages. One of the major goals of this program is to study the evolution of the Sun's X-ray through NUV spectral irradiances with age. Of particular interest is the determination of the young Sun's elevated levels of high-energy fluxes because of the critical roles that X-ray through FUV emissions play on the photochemical and photoionization evolution of early, young planetary atmospheres and ionospheres. Motivated by the current exoplanetary search missions that are hunting for earth-size planets in the habitable zones of nearby main-sequence G-M stars, we are expanding our program to cooler, less luminous, but much more numerous main-sequence K-type stars, such as alpha Centauri B. The long life (2-3x longer than our Sun) and slow evolution of K stars provide nearly constant energy sources for possible hosted planets. Presented here are X-ray, UV, and recently acquired FUV observations of the K1 V star alpha Cen B. These combined high-energy measures provide a more complete look into the nature of alpha Cen B's magnetic activity and X-UV radiances. We find that alpha Cen B has exhibited significant long-term variability in X-ray through NUV emission fluxes, indicating a solar-like long-term activity cycle of P_cycle = 8.84 years. In addition, analysis of the short-term rotational modulation of mean light due to the effects of magnetically active regions has yielded a well-determined rotation period of P_rotation = 36.2 days. alpha Cen B is the only old main-sequence K star with a reliably determined age and rotation period, and for early K-stars, is an important calibrator for stellar age/rotation/activity relations.
FPGA architectures and CAD algorithms with dynamic power gating support

Year: 2014

description: As the CMOS technology scales down, the cost of fabricating an integrated circuit becomes more expensive. Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are becoming attractive because their fabrication costs are amortized among many customers. A major challenge that face adopting FPGAs in many low-power applications is their high power consumption due to their reconfigurablity. A significant portion of FPGAs' power is dissipated in the form of static power during applications' idle periods. To address the power challenge in FPGAs, this dissertation proposes architecture enhancements and algorithms support to enable powering down portions of a chip during their idle times using power gating. This leads to significant energy savings especially for applications with long idle periods, such as mobile devices. This dissertation presents three contributions that address the major challenges in adopting power gating in FPGAs. The first contribution proposes an architectural support for power gating in FPGAs. This architecture enables powering down unused FPGA resources at configuration time, and powering down inactive resources during their idle times by the help of a controller. The controller can be placed on the general fabric of an FPGA device. The proposed architecture provides flexibility in realizing varying numbers and structures of modules that can be powered down at run-time when inactive. The second contribution proposes an architecture to appropriately handle the wakeup phase of power-gated modules. During a wakeup phase, a large current is drawn from the power supply to recharge the internal capacitances of a power-gated module, leading to reduced noise margins and degraded performance for neighbouring logic. The proposed architecture staggers the wakeup phase to limit this current to a safe level. This architecture is configurable and flexible to enable realizing different user applications, while having negligible area and power overheads and fast power up times. The third contribution proposes a CAD flow that supports mapping users' circuits to the proposed architecture. Enhancements to the algorithms in this flow that reduce power consumption are studied and evaluated. Furthermore, the CAD flow is used to study the granularity of the architecture proposed in this dissertation when mapping application circuits.

description: Recent years are seeing an increasing need for on-line monitoring of teams of cooperating agents, e.g., for visualization, or performance tracking. However, in monitoring deployed teams, we often cannot rely on the agents to always communicate their state to the monitoring system. This paper presents a non-intrusive approach to monitoring by 'overhearing', where the monitored team's state is inferred (via plan-recognition) from team-members' routine communications, exchanged as part of their coordinated task execution, and observed (overheard) by the monitoring system. Key challenges in this approach include the demanding run-time requirements of monitoring, the scarceness of observations (increasing monitoring uncertainty), and the need to scale-up monitoring to address potentially large teams. To address these, we present a set of complementary novel techniques, exploiting knowledge of the social structures and procedures in the monitored team: (i) an efficient probabilistic plan-recognition algorithm, well-suited for processing communications as observations; (ii) an approach to exploiting knowledge of the team's social behavior to predict future observations during execution (reducing monitoring uncertainty); and (iii) monitoring algorithms that trade expressivity for scalability, representing only certain useful monitoring hypotheses, but allowing for any number of agents and their different activities to be represented in a single coherent entity. We present an empirical evaluation of these techniques, in combination and apart, in monitoring a deployed team of agents, running on machines physically distributed across the country, and engaged in complex, dynamic task execution. We also compare the performance of these techniques to human expert and novice monitors, and show that the techniques presented are capable of monitoring at human-expert levels, despite the difficulty of the task.
An Expanding Locally Anisotropic (ELA) Metric Describing Matter in an Expanding Universe

description: It is suggested an expanding locally anisotropic metric (ELA) ansatz describing matter in a flat expanding universe which interpolates between the Schwarzschild (SC) metric near point-like central bodies of mass 'M' and the Robertson-Walker (RW) metric for large radial coordinate: 'ds^2=Z(cdt)2 - 1/Z (dr1-(Hr1/c) Z^(alpha/2+1/2)(cdt))^2-r1^2 dOmega', where 'Z=1-U' with 'U=2GM/(c^2r1)', 'G' is the Newton constant, 'c' is the speed of light, 'H=H(t)=\dot(a)/a' is the time-dependent Hubble rate, 'dOmega=dtheta^2+sin^2(theta) dvarphi^2' is the solid angle element, 'a' is the universe scale factor and we are employing the coordinates 'r1=ar', being 'r' the radial coordinate for which the RW metric is diagonal. For constant exponent 'alpha=alpha0=0' it is retrieved the isotropic McVittie (McV) metric and for 'alpha=alpha0=1' it is retrieved the locally anisotropic Cosmological-Schwarzschild (SCS) metric, both already discussed in the literature. However it is shown that only for constant exponent 'alpha=alpha0> 1' exists an event horizon at the SC radius 'r1=2GM/c^2' and only for 'alpha=alpha0>= 3' space-time is singularity free for this value of the radius. These bounds exclude the previous existing metrics, for which the SC radius is a naked extended singularity. In addition it is shown that for 'alpha=alpha0>5' space-time is approximately Ricci flat in a neighborhood of the event horizon such that the SC metric is a good approximation in this neighborhood. It is further shown that to strictly maintain the SC mass pole at the origin 'r1=0' without the presence of more severe singularities it is required a radial coordinate dependent correction to the exponent 'alpha(r1)=alpha0+alpha1 '2GM/(c^2 r1)' with a negative coefficient 'alpha1<0'. The energy-momentum density, pressures and equation of state are discussed.

description: In this work we consider topology optimization of systems, which are governed by the external Bernoulli free boundary problem. We utilize the so-called pseudo-solid approach to solve the governing free boundary problems during the optimization. To define design domains we utilize a level set representation parameterized by radial basis functions. This design parametrization allows topological changes in the design domain.

description: Denne artikkelen søker å gi innsikt i hva som gjør at kokain for mange unge voksne oppleves som et ideelt rusmiddel i utelivet. Artikkelen er basert på en fagfellevurdert artikkel i det amerikanske tidsskriftet Journal of Drug Issues og handler om hvordan folk på byen i Oslo oppfatter bruk av kokain og kulturen rundt bruken. For å forstå hvorfor kokain er et utbredt rusmiddel i utelivet, undersøkes ritualer knyttet til bruken, og konteksten bruken skjer i, gjennom dybdeintervjuer med unge voksne. Det kollektive ved bruken var viktig for deltakerne i studien, og kokain ble brukt for å oppnå et kontrollert tap av kontroll. De unge voksne så på kokain som et «prestasjonsdop» for å kunne drikke mer på byen. Innblikk i hvordan kokainbruk foregår i utelivet kan bidra til forståelsen både av hva som er bra for dem som bruker, og hva som er utfordringer knyttet til bruken.

description: Effects of non-magnetic disorder on the critical temperature T_c and on diamagnetism of quasi-one-dimensional superconductors are reported. The energy of Josephson-coupling between wires is considered to be random, which is typical for dirty organic superconductors. We show that this randomness destroys phase coherence between wires and that T_c vanishes discontinuously at a critical disorder-strength. The parallel and transverse components of the penetration-depth are evaluated. They diverge at different critical temperatures T_c^{(1)} and T_c, which correspond to pair-breaking and phase-coherence breaking respectively. The interplay between disorder and quantum phase fluctuations is shown to result in quantum critical behavior at T=0, which manifests itself as a superconducting-normal metal phase transition of first-order at a critical disorder strength.

description: This document describes the second set of prototypes of the PAL user modeling algorithms and action selection that have been developed during the third year of the project in PAL's work package 3 (WP3). The overall objective of WP3 is to adapt the behavior of the PAL system to each of its users. This  adaptation is necessary to ensure 1) engagement of the user and 2) increased effectiveness in personal goal achievement. To reach these objectives, the PAL system leverages user models and action selection architectures. The users models are built from the data and the interactions of the users, which provide useful information on their preferences or specicities.

description: Spoken dialogue systems promise efficient and natural access to a large variety of information sources and services from any phone. However, current spoken dialogue systems are deficient in their strategies for preventing, identifying and repairing problems that arise in the conversation. This paper reports results on automatically training a Problematic Dialogue Predictor to predict problematic human-computer dialogues using a corpus of 4692 dialogues collected with the 'How May I Help You' (SM) spoken dialogue system. The Problematic Dialogue Predictor can be immediately applied to the system's decision of whether to transfer the call to a human customer care agent, or be used as a cue to the system's dialogue manager to modify its behavior to repair problems, and even perhaps, to prevent them. We show that a Problematic Dialogue Predictor using automatically-obtainable features from the first two exchanges in the dialogue can predict problematic dialogues 13.2% more accurately than the baseline.

description: The low temperature state of CeRu2Al10 has been studied by neutron powder diffraction and muon spin relaxation (muSR). By combining both techniques, we prove that the transition occurring below T*~27K, which has been the subject of considerable debate, is unambiguously magnetic due to the ordering of the Ce sublattice. The magnetic structure with propagation vector k=(1,0,0) involves collinear antiferromagnetic alignment of the Ce moments along the c-axis of the Cmcm space group with a reduced moment of 0.34(2)mu_B. No structural changes within the resolution limit have been detected below the transition temperature. However, the temperature dependence of the magnetic Bragg peaks and the muon precession frequency show an anomaly around T2~12 K indicating a possible second transition.

description: We present two epochs of observations of TW Hya from the high-dispersion near-IR spectrograph ARIES at the MMT. We detect strong emission from the Brackett gamma transition of hydrogen, indicating an accretion rate substantially larger than previously estimated using hydrogen line emission. The Brackett gamma line-strength varies across our two observed epochs. We also measure circumstellar-to-stellar flux ratios (i.e., veilings) that appear close to zero in both epochs. These findings suggest that TW Hya experiences episodes of enhanced accretion while the inner disk remains largely devoid of dust. We discuss several physical mechanisms that may explain these observations.

Hair cortisol : sampling methodology and associations with health and reproduction in dairy cows
Creators: name: Burnett, Tracy Anne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Dairy cattle are often challenged with stressful practices and conditions. Cortisol is often used as a biomarker to detect stress. Hair is a promising new medium to detect long- term changes of circulating cortisol. This thesis investigated methodologies for the collection and processing of hair for cortisol analysis, and determined associations of hair cortisol concentrations with health disorders and fertility in lactating Holstein cows. First, we investigated the effects of hair colour, sampling location, and processing method on the amount of cortisol extracted from hair samples of 18 black and white Holstein dairy cows. Second, we investigated the associations between hair cortisol with clinical and subclinical disease, and reproductive success. Hair samples were collected from the tail switch of lactating Holstein cows to determine the effects of clinical disease and fertility (n = 64), or subclinical disease (n = 54). White hair had greater cortisol concentrations than black hair (Geometric Mean [95% CI]) (7.8 [6.8, 9.2] vs. 4.2 [3.6, 5.0] pg/mg). When only white samples were analyzed, hair from the tail switch had more cortisol than the shoulder (11.0 [7.6, 16.0] vs. 6.2 [4.2, 9.2] pg/mg). Processing with a ball mill yielded greater concentrations of extracted cortisol than when using scissors (10.4 [5.8, 18.8] vs. 4.7 [2.6, 8.4] pg/mg). In Holsteins, the tail switch is always white and grows faster making it an ideal location for measuring hair cortisol. Animals with clinical disease presented higher hair cortisol concentrations than clinically healthy animals (8.8 [7.8, 9.9] vs. 10.7 [9.6, 12.0] pg/mg); however, animals diagnosed with subclinical disease did not differ (11.5 [9.7, 13.7] vs. 11.3 [9.6, 13.3] pg/mg for healthy and subclinical groups, respectively). Multiparous cows that became pregnant by 100 days postpartum had lower hair cortisol concentrations at 42 and 84 DIM. Overall, using standard and consistent methods to sample, cortisol in hair offers important insights into long-term changes of circulating cortisol. Hair cortisol concentrations appear to be associated with clinical disorders and have a direct association with pregnancy outcomes; however, hair cortisol concentrations may not be suited to differentiate situations of stress with lower magnitudes, such as subclinical disease.
Inducing Interpretable Voting Classifiers without Trading Accuracy for Simplicity: Theoretical Results, Approximation Algorithms
Creators: name: Nock, R.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Artificial Intelligence (cs.AI)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Recent advances in the study of voting classification algorithms have brought empirical and theoretical results clearly showing the discrimination power of ensemble classifiers. It has been previously argued that the search of this classification power in the design of the algorithms has marginalized the need to obtain interpretable classifiers. Therefore, the question of whether one might have to dispense with interpretability in order to keep classification strength is being raised in a growing number of machine learning or data mining papers. The purpose of this paper is to study both theoretically and empirically the problem. First, we provide numerous results giving insight into the hardness of the simplicity-accuracy tradeoff for voting classifiers. Then we provide an efficient "top-down and prune" induction heuristic, WIDC, mainly derived from recent results on the weak learning and boosting frameworks. It is to our knowledge the first attempt to build a voting classifier as a base formula using the weak learning framework (the one which was previously highly successful for decision tree induction), and not the strong learning framework (as usual for such classifiers with boosting-like approaches). While it uses a well-known induction scheme previously successful in other classes of concept representations, thus making it easy to implement and compare, WIDC also relies on recent or new results we give about particular cases of boosting known as partition boosting and ranking loss boosting. Experimental results on thirty-one domains, most of which readily available, tend to display the ability of WIDC to produce small, accurate, and interpretable decision committees.

description: Finite differences have been widely used in mathematical theory as well as in scientific and engineering computations. These concepts are constantly mentioned in calculus. Most frequently-used difference formulas provide excellent approximations to various derivative functions, including those used in modeling important physical processes on uniform grids. However, our research reveals that difference approximations on uniform grids cannot be applied blindly on nonuniform grids, nor can difference formulas to form consistent approximations to second derivatives. At best, they may lose accuracy; at worst they are inconsistent. Detailed consistency and error analysis, together with simulated examples, will be given.

At a negative four-momentum transfer squared Q2 above 1 GeV2, for both the u- and d-quark components, the ratio of the Pauli form factor to the Dirac form factor, F2/F1, was found to be almost constant, and for each of F2 and F1 individually, the d-quark portions of both form factors drop continuously with increasing Q2.

FROM CARE TO CARING. Steps Toward Implementing Psychological Screening to Improve Follow-Up Care for Childhood Cancer Survivors
Creators: name: Harju, Erika
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: Co-Promoters: Dr. Katharina Roser & Assoc. Prof. Dr. med Katrin Scheinemann Introduction. Childhood cancer exerts a strong psychological impact, leaving survivors at risk for mental health problems, even long after. However, recommended psychological screening in follow-up care is an exception. Achieving high-quality cancer survivorship requires psychosocial care and psychological screening according to evidence-based guidelines This thesis aims to bridge the current research gaps in childhood cancer by providing more information on why it is essential to implement psychological screening into follow-up care of childhood cancer survivors using three studies. Methods. For study 1, we systematically reviewed the existing literature on the emotion thermometer in individuals diagnosed with cancer in six databases. For study 2, we used a mixed-methods approach. We conducted a qualitative data analysis for the answers to the open questions on the electronic survey to get a more nuanced understanding of the health-care professionals' opinions. For study 3, we used electronic surveys before and after the follow-up appointment for childhood cancer survivors and their parents to assess changes in psychological distress and the need for screening in long-term follow-up care. Results. Study 1 showed that the short emotion thermometer is a valid instrument to quickly and reliably detect psychological distress, but it is rarely used. In study 2, the opinion that an informal assessment in the form of a conversation would suffice to assess psychological late effects was prominent in HCPs They expressed concerns towards standardized psychological screening that could hinder the implementation of standardized psychological screening in follow-up care. In study 3, a substantial number of childhood cancer survivors attending follow-up care were identified as distressed. The validation of the emotion thermometer showed that it is suitable for initial screening in younger cancer populations. Conclusion. In conclusion, this PhD thesis provided valuable knowledge to facilitate the transition from research towards psychological screening implementation into follow-up care. Key steps are: 1. The knowledge gap on existing psychological screening instruments and how to use them needs to be bridged. Furthermore, there is a need to discuss responsibility concerning psychological screening. 2. Constructive discussions between stakeholders on how to screen for psychological late effects are necessary. Providing information can alleviate concerns and is essential to decide further steps for a follow-up care screening strategy. 3. Implementing standardized psychological screening in routine follow-up care, in line with evidencebased recommendations, is imperative to move beyond past limitations.

Assessing fracture network connectivity of prefeasibility-level high temperature geothermal projects using discrete fracture network modelling
Creators: name: Mak, Stephen W.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: The Meager Creek geothermal anomaly has been identified as one of Canada’s most promising high temperature geothermal sites. Results from exploratory drilling and the presence of natural hot springs indicate that a convective hydrothermal system exists within the crystalline basement rocks at the site. These positive results prompted several companies to engage in production drilling campaigns as early as 1981. To date, all attempts to establish sustainable levels of geothermal fluid production have been unsuccessful. Low permeability and poor hydraulic connectivity of the basement granodiorites are often cited as the key geological factors limiting the development of the Meager Creek site. These conclusions are inferred from qualitative assessments of core samples and the low production yields of completed test wells, and are not based on a detailed analysis of the geometric properties of the underlying fracture network. Through the interpretation and analysis of geomechanical and hydrogeological data collected during historical field investigations at the site, stochastic discrete fracture network (DFN) models were constructed. An iterative process of simulation and analysis of individual DFN models led to a rigorous assessment of the existing connectivity of the natural fracture network. The connectivity of the existing fracture network at the Meager Creek site appears to be favourable in the area surrounding the Meager Creek Fault, which was not intersected by any of the test wells drilled. It was found that the use of DFN models was useful in estimating fracture network connectivity and can serve as a tool for optimizing the location and orientation of production wells. A high degree of uncertainty is associated with fracture network connectivity estimates due to the absence of downhole linear fracture intensity measurements and a rigorous surface mapping methodology. Fracture network connectivity estimates can be greatly improved by adjusting the design of prefeasibility-level field investigations. The additional cost and time required to incorporate these adjustments into standard prefeasibility-level geothermal field investigations is minimal.

description: The evolution of the curvature perturbation is highly non-trivial for curvaton models with self-interactions and is very sensitive to the parameter values. The final perturbation depends also on the curvaton decay rate $Γ$. As a consequence, non-gaussianities can be greatly different from the purely quadratic case, even if the deviation is very small. Here we consider a class of polynomial curvaton potentials and discuss the dynamical behavior of the curvature perturbation. We point out that, for example, it is possible that the non-gaussianity parameter $\fnl\simeq 0$ while $\gnl$ is non-zero. In the case of a curvaton with mass $m\sim {\cal O}(1)$ TeV we show that one cannot ignore non-quadratic terms in the potential, and that only a self-interaction of the type $V_{\rm int}=σ^8/M^4$ is consistent with various theoretical and observational constraints. Moreover, the curvaton decay rate should then be in the range $Γ=10^{-15}- 10^{-17}$ GeV.

A Knowledge Compilation Map

description: We propose a perspective on knowledge compilation which calls for analyzing different compilation approaches according to two key dimensions: the succinctness of the target compilation language, and the class of queries and transformations that the language supports in polytime. We then provide a knowledge compilation map, which analyzes a large number of existing target compilation languages according to their succinctness and their polytime transformations and queries. We argue that such analysis is necessary for placing new compilation approaches within the context of existing ones. We also go beyond classical, flat target compilation languages based on CNF and DNF, and consider a richer, nested class based on directed acyclic graphs (such as OBDDs), which we show to include a relatively large number of target compilation languages.

description: We have prepared high-quality polycrystalline FeTe0.5Se0.5 at temperature as low as 550°C. The transport critical current density evaluated by the current-voltage characteristics is over 700 A/cm2 at 4.2 K under zero field, which is several times larger than FeTe0.5Se0.5 superconducting wires. The critical current density estimated from magneto-optical images of flux penetration is also similar to this value. The upper critical field of the polycrystalline FeTe0.5Se0.5 at T = 0 K estimated by Werthamer-Helfand-Hohenberg theory is 585 kOe, which is comparable to that of single crystals. This study gives some insight into how to improve the performance of FeTe0.5Se0.5 superconducting wires.

description: All galaxies without a radio-loud AGN follow a tight correlation between their global FIR and radio synchrotron luminosities, which is believed to be ultimately the result of the formation of massive stars. Two colliding pairs of galaxies, UGC12914/5 and UGC 813/6 deviate from this correlation and show an excess of radio emission which in both cases originates to a large extent in a gas bridge connecting the two galactic disks. We are aiming to clarify the origin of the radio continuum emission from the bridge. The radio synchrotron emission expected from the bridge regions is calculated, assuming that the kinetic energy liberated in the predominantly gas dynamic interaction of the respective interstellar media (ISM) has produced shock waves that efficiently accelerate nuclei and electrons to relativistic energies. We present a model for this acceleration and calculate the resulting radio emission, its spectral index and the expected high-energy gamma-ray emission. It is found that the nonthermal energy produced in the collision is large enough to explain the radio emission from the bridge between the two galaxies. The calculated spectral index at the present time also agrees with the observed value. The deviation of these two interacting galaxy systems from the standard FIR-radio correlation is consistent with the acceleration of an additional population of electrons. This process is not related to star formation and therefore it is expected that the systems do not follow the FIR-radio correlation. The acceleration of relativistic electrons in shocks caused by an ISM collision, in the same way as described here, is likely to take place in other systems as well, as in galaxy clusters and groups or high-redshift systems.

description: The 2+1 dimensional pure SU(N) gauge theories with N <= 4 are candidates for applying the powerful tools of scaling and universality to their deconfinement transitions at finite temperature. The corresponding 2 dimensional q-state Potts models with q <= 4 have 2nd order transitions, and we can exploit many exact results to obtain accurate critical couplings, transition temperatures, critical exponents, and the leading behavior of the continuum string tension near the phase transition on one side, together with its dual on the other. Thereby, the self-duality of the 2d spin models is reflected in a duality between spacelike vortices and confining electric fluxes. We also discuss the relevance of center symmetry and the corresponding vortices for confinement in full QCD when the electromagnetic interactions of fractionally charged quarks are included.

description: The problem of organizing information for multidocument summarization so that the generated summary is coherent has received relatively little attention. While sentence ordering for single document summarization can be determined from the ordering of sentences in the input article, this is not the case for multidocument summarization where summary sentences may be drawn from different input articles. In this paper, we propose a methodology for studying the properties of ordering information in the news genre and describe experiments done on a corpus of multiple acceptable orderings we developed for the task. Based on these experiments, we implemented a strategy for ordering information that combines constraints from chronological order of events and topical relatedness. Evaluation of our augmented algorithm shows a significant improvement of the ordering over two baseline strategies.

description: The OPERA neutrino detector in the underground Gran Sasso Laboratory (LNGS) has been designed to perform the first detection of neutrino oscillations in direct appearance mode through the study of the $ν_μ\rightarrowν_τ$ channel. The hybrid apparatus consists of an emulsion/lead target complemented by electronic detectors and it is placed in the high energy long-baseline CERN to LNGS beam (CNGS) 730 km away from the neutrino source. Runs with CNGS neutrinos were successfully carried out in 2008 and 2009. After a brief description of the beam, the experimental setup and the procedures used for the analysis of the neutrino events, we describe the topology and kinematics of a first candidate $ν_τ$ charged-current event satisfying the kinematical selection criteria. The background calculations and their cross-check are explained in detail and the significance of the event is assessed.

Supplementary Information of more details about the 1-D and WACCM6 models from Comparison between ozone column depths and methane lifetimes computed by one- and three-dimensional models at different atmospheric O2 levels

description: Recently, Cooke et al. (Cooke et al. 2022 R. Soc. Open Sci. 9, 211165. (doi:10.1098/rsos.211165)) used a three-dimensional coupled chemistry-climate model (WACCM6) to calculate ozone column depths at varied atmospheric O2 levels. They argued that previous one-dimensional (1-D) photochemical model studies, e.g. Segura et al. (Segura et al. 2003 Astrobiology 3, 689–708. (doi:10.1089/153110703322736024)), may have overestimated the ozone column depth at low pO2, and hence also overestimated the lifetime of methane. We have compared new simulations from an updated version of the Segura et al. model with those from WACCM6, together with some results from a second 3-D model. The discrepancy in ozone column depths is probably due to multiple interacting parameters, including H2O in the upper troposphere, lower boundary conditions, vertical and meridional transport rates, and different chemical mechanisms, especially the treatment of O2 photolysis in the Schumann–Runge (SR) bands (175–205 nm). The discrepancy in tropospheric OH concentrations and methane lifetime between WACCM6 and the 1-D model at low pO2 is reduced when absorption from CO2 and H2O in this wavelength region is included in WACCM6. Including scattering in the SR bands may further reduce this difference. Resolving these issues can be accomplished by developing an accurate parametrization for O2 photolysis in the SR bands and then repeating these calculations in the various models.
