description: The presence of a second planet in a known, transiting-planet system will cause the time between transits to vary. These variations can be used to constrain the orbital elements and mass of the perturbing planet. We analyse the set of transit times of the TrES-1 system given in Charbonneau et al. (2005). We find no convincing evidence for a second planet in the TrES-1 system from that data. By further analysis, we constrain the mass that a perturbing planet could have as a function of the semi-major axis ratio of the two planets and the eccentricity of the perturbing planet. Near low-order, mean-motion resonances (within ~1% fractional deviation), we find that a secondary planet must generally have a mass comparable to or less than the mass of the Earth--showing that this data is the first to have sensitivity to sub Earth-mass planets. We compare the sensitivity of this technique to the mass of the perturbing planet with future, high-precision radial velocity measurements.

title: Anti-apoptotic effects of Interleukin 7 in Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 infection: Mechanism and implications for immune reconstitution strategies
Creators: name: Vassena, Lia
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2012

description: Although HAART has introduced great improvements in the clinical outcome of HIV-1- infected individuals, the current protocols often fail in completely restoring the CD4+T-cell lymphopenia. Therefore, innovative approaches based on the use of immune adjuvants to HAART, including cytokines like IL-2, IL-15 and IL-7, are being explored. The present thesis aims at investigating the immunomodulatory effects of IL- 7 in HIV /SIV infection, focusing on its pro-survival properties.

The first part of this work describes the results of a study in vitro to evaluate the effects of IL-7 on T cells from HIV -l-infected individuals, and shows that this cytokine strongly protects both CD4+ and CD8+T cells from spontaneous apoptosis. IL-7-mediated apoptosis reduction ex vivo inversely correlated with the CD4+T-cell count of the patient in vivo, suggesting that IL-7 treatment could be useful also for patients at with advanced disease. Moreover, the protective effect of IL-7 was not associated with the induction of cellular proliferation or viral replication.

The second part of this work describes the results of a study in vivo of IL-7 administration during the acute phase of SIV infection in rhesus macaques, the pathogenic animal model for AIDS. IL-7 treatment prevented the depletion of circulating naive and memory CD4+T cells that typically occurs within the very first weeks of infection, primarily by reducing the levels of apoptosis. Moreover, IL-7 treatment also induced sustained increases in all subsets of circulating CD8+T cells. Of note, treatment with IL-7 did not have any effect on SIV plasma viral load nor on the content of SIV DNA provirus. Finally, IL-7-treated animals developed earlier and stronger CD8+ and CD4+T-cell responses as compared to untreated animals, although overall no protective effects on disease progression were observed. Taken together, these data further support the use of IL-7 as an immunomodulatory adjuvant to HAART in HIV-I-infected individuals, and suggest that this cytokine may be a useful tool to preserve or restore the CD4+T-cell pool during both the acute and chronic phases of the infection.

description: We present an analysis of XMM-Newton light curves of the dipping, bursting, and eclipsing low-mass X-ray binary EXO 0748-676, focusing on the variability on time scales of seconds to hours. The observed variability can be roughly divided in three types: dips, eclipses and bursts. We find that the appearance of the latter two, depends strongly on the strength of the first. We show that the absorption dips change from spectrally hard to spectrally soft as they become deeper, which supports suggestions that the source is composed of a spectrally hard compact source and a spectrally soft extended source. The fast variability in the soft light curve indicates that the large structures causing the dips are made up of smaller absorption cores. We present the first clear detection with XMM-Newton of eclipses below 2 keV in this source, and show that dipping activity is apparently unrelated to the source luminosity. We also test several proposed models for the spectral evolution during dips and confirm the presence of a scatter/reflection component in the eclipse spectrum.

About forty clusters were chosen with redshifts from 0.15 to 0.6, and in a wide range of richnesses. One of the main science drivers of this survey is a study of internal dynamics of clusters. We present some preliminary results for a subset of the clusters, including the correlation of optical richness with mass, and the mass-to-light ratio as a function of cluster mass.

description: The University of British Columbia is a small subsystem within Vancouver, which in turn is a smaller subsystem of the Lower Mainland. Due to the increase in population on campus, there is an increase in pressure on the ecosystem. To decrease the ecological footprint, UBC as a system, must analyze and take responsibility for the social, ecological, and economic impacts. This proposal concerns changing the current structure and ideology of the subsystems within the UBC campus towards a more sustainable, interconnected system. Through the Stages of Change Model this transition will flow smoothly and work at the speed of every party involved. All stages of the model can work concurrently with each other due to the complexity of each subsystem currently at UBC. The flexibility of this model allows for a gradual change that will increase the likelihood that the transition will be smooth and permanent. Sustainability can be achieved at UBC if the impacts of the social, ecological, and economic perspectives are taken into account.

description: We present a new method of establishing the finite-dimensionality of limit dynamics (in terms of bi-Lipschitz Mane projectors) for semilinear parabolic systems with cross diffusion terms and illustrate it on the model example of 3D complex Ginzburg-Landau equation with periodic boundary conditions. The method combines the so-called spatial-averaging principle invented by Sell and Mallet-Paret with temporal averaging of rapid oscillations which come from cross-diffusion terms.
Ferromagnetism in a dilute magnetic semiconductor -- Generalized RKKY interaction and spin-wave excitations

description: Carrier-mediated ferromagnetism in a dilute magnetic semiconductor has been studied using i) a single-impurity based generalized RKKY approach which goes beyond linear response theory, and ii) a mean-field-plus-spin-fluctuation (MF+SF) approach within a (purely fermionic) Hubbard-model representation of the magnetic impurities, which incorporates dynamical effects associated with finite frequency spin correlations in the ordered state. Due to a competition between the magnitude of the carrier spin polarization and its oscillation length scale, the ferromagnetic spin coupling is found to be optimized with respect to both hole doping concentration and impurity-carrier spin coupling energy $J$ (or equivalently $U$). The ferromagnetic transition temperature $T_c$, deteremined within the spin-fluctuation theory, corresponds closely with the observed $T_c$ values. Positional disorder of magnetic impurities causes significant stiffening of the high-energy magnon modes. We also explicitly study the stability/instability of the mean-field ferromagnetic state, which highlights the role of competing AF interactions causing spin twisting and noncollinear ferromagnetic ordering.

History-dependent relaxation and the energy scale of correlation in the Electron-Glass

description: We present an experimental study of the energy-relaxation in Anderson-insulating indium-oxide films excited far from equilibrium. In particular, we focus on the effects of history on the relaxation of the excess conductance dG. The natural relaxation law of dG is logarithmic, namely dG=-log(t). This may be observed over more than five decades following, for example, cool-quenching the sample from high temperatures. On the other hand, when the system is excited from a state S_{o} in which it has not fully reached equilibrium to a state S_{n}, the ensuing relaxation law is logarithmic only over time t shorter than the time t_{w} it spent in S_{o}. For times t>t_{w} dG(t) show systematic deviation from the logarithmic dependence. It was previously shown that when the energy imparted to the system in the excitation process is small, this leads to dG=P(t/t_{w}) (simple-aging). Here we test the conjecture that `simple-aging' is related to a symmetry in the relaxation dynamics in S_{o} and S_{n}. This is done by using a new experimental procedure that is more sensitive to deviations in the relaxation dynamics. It is shown that simple-aging may still be obeyed (albeit with a modified P(t/t_{w})) even when the symmetry of relaxation in S_{o} and S_{n} is perturbed by a certain degree. The implications of these findings to the question of aging, and the energy scale associated with correlations are discussed.

description: In zero-resource settings where transcribed speech audio is unavailable, unsupervised feature learning is essential for downstream speech processing tasks. Here we compare two recent methods for frame-level acoustic feature learning. For both methods, unsupervised term discovery is used to find pairs of word examples of the same unknown type. Dynamic programming is then used to align the feature frames between each word pair, serving as weak top-down supervision for the two models. For the correspondence autoencoder (CAE), matching frames are presented as input-output pairs. The Triamese network uses a contrastive loss to reduce the distance between frames of the same predicted word type while increasing the distance between negative examples. For the first time, these feature extractors are compared on the same discrimination tasks using the same weak supervision pairs. We find that, on the two datasets considered here, the CAE outperforms the Triamese network. However, we show that a new hybrid correspondence-Triamese approach (CTriamese), consistently outperforms both the CAE and Triamese models in terms of average precision and ABX error rates on both English and Xitsonga evaluation data.

This material crystallizes in a nonsymmorphic structure and is predicted to have multiple Dirac nodal lines in the bulk electronic band structure protected by symmetry even in the presence of spin-orbit coupling. We discuss a possible topological superconductivity for the quasi-2-dimensional band originating mainly from one of the antimony sites.

title: Modulation of regulatory T cell suppression in tumors through OX40
Creators: name: Burocchi, Alessia
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2012

description: Tumor cells develop numerous mechanisms to escape from the control exerted by the immune system. One of these strategies is the accumulation of regulatory T cells (Treg) within the tumor, which keep effector T cells (Teff) and dendritic cells (DC) in an inactive state. An efficient approach to overcome the inhibitory potential of Treg focuses on OX40, a costimulatory molecule constitutively expressed by Treg and induced in activated Teff. The treatment of mouse transplantable tumor models with the mAb OX86, the agonist of OX40, induces tumor rejection by acting on both these T cell subsets. In this study we investigated the fine cellular mechanisms at the basis of this process, dissecting the effects of OX86 on Treg and on CD4+Foxp3-CD44highCD62LlowOX40+ effector memory T cells (Tem), which represent the most abundant Teff subset in the tumor. Upon OX40 stimulation, Treg are "contra-suppressed" and down-modulate the expression of the transcription factor interferon regulatory factor 1 (IRF1), thus reducing the secretion of IL- 10. Conversely OX86 provides activating stimuli to Tern, which up-regulate CD40L and in turn promote the maturation of DC. OX86 shifts the tumoral milieu from tolerogenic to immunogenic, favoring the activation and migration of DC from the tumor to the draining lymph node (dLN) and the subsequent new CTL induction.

 The relevance of OX40 in Treg biology goes beyond the modulation of their suppressive abilities. OX40 increases the sensitivity of Treg to IL-2, facilitating the phosphorylation of STAT5 through high level of the mirl55 and low level of SOCS1. The overexpression of miR155 endowed Treg of higher suppressive functions, further enhancing tumor growth. These data clearly remark the key roles exerted by OX40 in influencing Treg and Teff behavior. Understanding how to manipulate OX40 signaling will provide great advantage in the development of efficient therapy for both tumors and autoimmune diseases.

description: The present study aimed to investigate the infection ratio and pathological lesions in common carp fish in Kirkuk province. To achieve these goals, a survey study was conducted from 01/12/2015 to 01/04/2016. Results of the survey study showed that the infection ratio of acidity and alkalinity of pond’s water 27.88% (46/165), bacterial kidney infection 20% (33/165), water mold (saprolegniasis) 12.12% (20/165), spring viremia of common carp 11.52% (19/165), Coccidiosis 11.52% (19/165), fungal gill rot infection 7.27% (12/165), hemorrhagic septicemia 6.67% (11/165) and enteric parasite infection 3.03% (3/165). The pathological study showed that lesions in acidic and alkaline of pond’s water consisted from necrosis with sloughing of scales and intestinal mucinous degeneration as well as necrosis of intestinal villi. In bacterial kidney infection lesion consisted of diphtheric membrane covering abdominal cavity and presence of microorganisms in renal cortex and medulla. In Saprolegnia sp. infection the pathognomic lesions were recorded which consisted of fungal hyphae extended from fish body into water. In spring, viremia of common carp lesions consist from exophthalmia and pinpoint hemorrhage on the fish body with presence of pseudodiphtheric membrane associated with hemorrhagic exudate as well as extensive necrosis of intestinal villi. In Eimeria sp. infection lesions were composed from presence of infective stages of coccidian parasites in enterocytes. In fungal gill rot infection the mosaic appearance lesion was observed consisted from necrotic area (white color) and health area (red color). In hemorrhagic septicemia infection lesions consisted from ulcers surrounded by areas of hyperemia with extensive necrosis of intestinal lining. In enteric parasites infection we noted the presence of large numbers of worms in intestinal lumen, also there is nodule in intestinal mucosa contain nematods of 2 cm in length, in other cases there is presence of worms inserted in intestinal mucosa of 30 cm length covered with fibrous membrane. It concluded from this study that the infection ratio with different diseases in common carp varied in compared with other countries and depends upon changes in climate and breeding habits as well as the gross and microscopic lesions are identical to that recorded worldwide.

description: Topological materials have recently attracted considerable attention among materials scientists as their properties are predicted to be protected against perturbations such as lattice distortion and chemical substitution. However, any experimental proof of such robustness is still lacking. In this study, we experimentally demonstrate that the topological properties of the ferromagnetic kagome compound Co3Sn2S2 are preserved upon Ni substitution. We systematically vary the Ni content in Co3Sn2S2 single crystals and study their magnetic and anomalous transport properties. For the intermediate Ni substitution, we observe a remarkable increase in the coercive field while still maintaining significant anomalous Hall conductivity. The large anomalous Hall conductivity of these compounds is intrinsic, consistent with first-principle calculations, which proves its topological origin. Our results can guide further studies on the chemical tuning of topological materials for better understanding.

description: The effects of graphite surface geometrical deformation on the dynamics of conducting electrons are investigated theoretically. The analysis is performed within the framework of a deformation-induced gauge field and corresponding deformation-induced magnetic field. It is shown that the latter gives a local energy gap along the axis of a deformed nanotube. We compare our energy gap results with experimental data on energy gaps in nanotubes and peapods. We also discuss the mixing of two Fermi points and construct a general model of low energy dynamics, including a short-range deformation of the graphite sheet. This model is equivalent to the Weyl equation in {\it U}(1) Abelian and {\it SU}(2) non-Abelian deformation-induced gauge fields.

title: Wordsworth, Wesley, Hazlitt, and the embarrassment of enthusiasm
Creators: name: Boyles, Helen Margaret
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2012

description: This thesis addresses an area which has been neglected within the predominantly secular emphasis of post nineteenth-century Romantic scholarship: the impact of religious revivalism on literary Romanticism. It argues that the affective culture of Methodist evangelism actually anticipated literary Romanticism in its commitment to a religion and a language 'of the heart' . My study considers the stylistic and ideological affinity between some Methodist and 'Romantic' writing from the eighteenth to the early nineteenth- century, with specific reference to the culture of 'enthusiasm'. I explain how enthusiasm is identified with both religious and creative inspiration, but consider the problematic implications of this association. The problem is centred in enthusiasm's historical identification with religious fanaticism, and thus with subversive challenge and excess. My thesis discusses the acute embarrassment which this association generated for the Wesleyan Methodist leadership, and for some prominent Romantic writers. I consider how this embarrassment was manifested, within a literary context, in strenuous efforts to distinguish a respectable, genuine inspiration from its dangerous or spurious equivalent. I argue that the ambivalent feelings aroused by religious enthusiasm reflect a persistent discomfort with its plebeian and feminine associations. My study explores the various stylistic strategies employed by John and Charles Wesley, William Wordsworth and William Hazlitt, to distance themselves from vulgar and insincere religious zeal while remaining committed to the affective precepts which inspired their work and writing. This involves examining affinities in the literary theory and practice of John Wesley and Wordsworth, and Hazlitt's implicit distinction between 'gusto' and enthusiasm. I provide an analytical balance between the production and reception of key texts, including Wordsworth's Lyrical Ballads and The Excursion. Close stylistic analysis demonstrates how the writers' language reveals contradictory allegiances to rational precepts and the ardent impulses of a 'religious' inspiration.

description: It is shown that the combined action of spin-flavor conversions of supernova neutrinos due to the interactions of their Majorana-type transition magnetic moments with the supernova magnetic fields and flavor conversions due to the mass mixing can lead to the transformation of ν_e born in the neutronization process into their antiparticles \barν_e. Such an effect would have a clear experimental signature and its observation would be a smoking gun evidence for the neutrino transition magnetic moments. It would also signify the leptonic mixing parameter |U_{e3}| in excess of 10^{-2}.

In this approach the heavy baryon is considered as a heavy meson bound to a light baryon. The latter is represented as a soliton excitation of light meson fields. We obtain the magnetic moments by sandwiching pertinent components of the electromagnetic current operator between the bound state wave--functions. We extract this current operator from the coupling to the photon field after extending the action to be gauge invariant.

description: We study the graph coloring problem over random graphs of finite average connectivity $c$. Given a number $q$ of available colors, we find that graphs with low connectivity admit almost always a proper coloring whereas graphs with high connectivity are uncolorable. Depending on $q$, we find the precise value of the critical average connectivity $c_q$. Moreover, we show that below $c_q$ there exist a clustering phase $c\in [c_d,c_q]$ in which ground states spontaneously divide into an exponential number of clusters. Furthermore, we extended our considerations to the case of single instances showing consistent results. This lead us to propose a new algorithm able to color in polynomial time random graphs in the hard but colorable region, i.e when $c\in [c_d,c_q]$.

The usual analytic route for treating these vast class of problems is to use response fields in addition to the real fields that are pertinent to a given problem. This line of argument was introduced by Martin, Siggia and Rose. We show that instead of using the response field, one can, following the stochastic quantization of Parisi and Wu, introduce a fictitious time. In this extra dimension a fluctuation dissipation theorem is built in and provides a different outlook to problems in non equilibrium statistical physics.

description: Convergent beam electron diffraction is routinely applied for studying deformation and local strain in thick crystals by matching the crystal structure to the observed intensity distributions. Recently, it has been demonstrated that CBED can be applied for imaging two-dimensional (2D) crystals where a direct reconstruction is possible and three-dimensional crystal deformations at a nanometre resolution can be retrieved. Here, we demonstrate that second-order effects allow for further information to be obtained regarding stacking arrangements between the crystals. Such effects are especially pronounced in samples consisting of multiple layers of 2D crystals. We show, using simulations and experiments, that twisted multilayer samples exhibit extra modulations of interference fringes in CBED patterns, i. e., a CBED moiré. A simple and robust method for the evaluation of the composition and the number of layers from a single-shot CBED pattern is demonstrated.
Lepton Flavour Violation in a Class of Lopsided SO(10) Models

description: A class of predictive SO(10) grand unified theories with highly asymmetric mass matrices, known as lopsided textures, has been developed to accommodate the observed mixing in the neutrino sector. The model class effectively determines the rate for charged lepton flavour violation, and in particular the branching ratio for $μ-> e γ$, assuming that the supersymmetric GUT breaks directly to the constrained minimal supersymmetric standard model (CMSSM). We find that in light of the combined constraints on the CMSSM parameters from direct searches and from the WMAP satellite observations, the resulting predicted rate for $μ-> e γ$ in this model class can be within the current experimental bounds for low $\tan β$, but that the next generation of $μ-> e γ$ experiments would effectively rule out this model class if LFV is not detected.

Complex Absorption Hides a Type II QSO in IRAS 13197-1627

description: We report on the analysis of a BeppoSAX observation of IRAS 13197-1627. The complexity of the broad band (0.3-100 keV) spectrum of the source prevents us from selecting from two possible best-fit models, i.e. one based on a partial covering and the other on a reflection dominated scenario. Whatever the best fit model, the data imply that: 1) the primary spectrum is heavily obscured by at least two absorbers with column densities of the order of 5x10^23 cm-2 and >2x10^24 cm-2; 2) the intrinsic 2-10 keV luminosity of the source is at least \~2x10^44 erg/s thus making IRAS 13197-1627 a type-II QSO (more precisely a type 1.8 QSO) rather than a Seyfert 1.8 galaxy as previously classified. Furthermore, there is marginal evidence of an absorption line at E $\sim$7.5 keV suggesting a possible outflow with v~0.1c similar to recent findings on other QSOs and Seyferts.

description: We study solutions of type IIB supergravity with an SU(3) structure group and four dimensional Poincare invariance and present relations among the bosonic fields which follow from the supersymmetry variations. We make explicit some results which also follow from the more general case of an SU(2) structure and give some short comments applicable to general supersymmetric solutions. We also provide simplified relations appropriate for duals of gauge theory renormalization group flows, and use these to derive the supergravity solution for a bound state of (p,q)5-branes and D3-branes.

description: Conductance through a system consisting of a wire with side-attached quantum dots is calculated. Such geometry of the device allows to study the coexistence of quantum interference, electron correlations and their influence on conductance. We underline the differences between "classical" Fano resonance in which the resonant channel is of single-particle nature and "many-body" Fano resonance with the resonant channel formed by Kondo effect. The influence of electron-electron interactions on the Fano resonance shape is also analyzed.

Finite-Difference and Pseudospectral Time-Domain Methods Applied to Backwards-Wave Metamaterials

description: Backwards-wave (BW) materials that have simultaneously negative real parts of their electric permittivity and magnetic permeability can support waves where phase and power propagation occur in opposite directions. These materials were predicted to have many unusual electromagnetic properties, among them amplification of the near-field of a point source, which could lead to the perfect reconstruction of the source field in an image [J. Pendry, Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{85}, 3966 (2000)]. Often systems containing BW materials are simulated using the finite-difference time-domain technique. We show that this technique suffers from a numerical artifact due to its staggered grid that makes its use in simulations involving BW materials problematic. The pseudospectral time-domain technique, on the other hand, uses a collocated grid and is free of this artifact. It is also shown that when modeling the dispersive BW material, the linear frequency approximation method introduces error that affects the frequency of vanishing reflection, while the auxiliary differential equation, the Z transform, and the bilinear frequency approximation method produce vanishing reflection at the correct frequency. The case of vanishing reflection is of particular interest for field reconstruction in imaging applications.

Boundary conditions in the Mirabelli and Peskin model

description: We show how the (globally supersymmetric) model of Mirabelli and Peskin can be formulated in the boundary (``downstairs'' or ``interval'') picture. The necessary Gibbons-Hawking-like terms appear naturally when using (codimension one) superfields. This formulation is free of the δ(0) ambiguities of the orbifold (``upstairs'') picture while describing the same physics since the boundary conditions on the fundamental domain are the same. The (natural) boundary conditions follow from the variational principle and form a closed orbit under supersymmetry variation. They reduce to the ``odd =0'' boundary conditions in the absence of bulk-boundary coupling. We emphasize that the action is supersymmetric without the use of any boundary conditions in the off-shell formulation (but some boundary conditions are necessary for on-shell supersymmetry!).

description: In general, 3 core aspect of IR system have been identified. First, the indexing process, second handling data storage, and third ranking & retrieval. Based on the assignment requirement, 11 subtask or steps need to be achieved for a full IR system. The system was developed using Phython 2.7 with Spyder IDE on Windows 10 operating system. Testing and analysis have been done on different configuration of the indexer and the retriever. The scope of implementation has been fulfilled up to batch query.

description: We analyze the role of Zeeman and orbital pair breaking mechanisms in models appropriate for short coherence length superconductors. In particular, we investigate the attractive Hubbard and the pair hoping models. The orbital pair breaking mechanism dominates in the majority of models with $s$--wave and $d$--wave superconducting order parameters. On the other, the repulsive pair hopping interaction leads to $η$--type pairing, that is stable against the orbital pair breaking. External magnetic field reduces this type of pairing predominantly due to the Zeeman coupling. According to the recent experiments this mechanism is responsible for closing of the pseudogap. Moreover, the temperature dependence of the gap closing field in $η$--phase fits the experimental data very well. We discuss whether the preformed pairs in the $η$--phase could be responsible for the pseudogap phenomenon.

description: We explain why it is necessary to use boundary conditions in the proof of supersymmetry of a supergravity action on a manifold with boundary. Working in both boundary (``downstairs'') and orbifold (``upstairs'') pictures, we present a bulk-plus-boundary/brane action for the five-dimensional (on-shell) supergravity which is supersymmetric with the use of fewer boundary conditions than were previously employed. The required Gibbons-Hawking-like Y-term and many other aspects of the boundary/orbifold picture correspondence are discussed.

Measuring the AGN sublimation radius with a new approach: reverberation mapping of the broad line polarization

description: Here we give an observational method for measurements of the equatorial scattering region radius using variability in the polarized broad lines in Type 1 active galactic nuclei (AGNs). The polarization in broad lines of Type 1 AGNs is mostly caused by equatorial scattering, where specific features allow one to separate its contribution from the total polarized flux. We propose to monitor variability in the polarized line flux and find the time lag between the nonpolarized continuum and polarized broad line variability. The distance to the scattering screen can then be determined from the time delay. The method was, for the first time, applied to the observations of the Type 1 AGN Mrk 6, and we found that the size of the scattering region in this AGN is around 100 light days. That is significantly smaller than the dusty region size estimated by the infrared interferometric observations and also larger than known broad line region (BLR) size. This indicates that the scattering region lies between the BLR and the dusty region and could be used as a probe of the dust sublimation radius.
