description: The Wagner Turbidimeter has given promise of being a suitable instrument for use in the determination of the surface exposed by the particles in samples of Portland cement. Since the extent of this surface is an important factor in controlling or predicting the behavior of cements in the production of concrete, a simple but accurate method for its determination is highly desirable in connection with investigations and acceptance tests.

The purpose of the present investigation was to make a critical study of the advantages and short-comings of this instrument and to recommend modifications of apparatus or procedure which might improve its performance. The various steps in the procedure and the possible sources of uncertainty and error in the results have been examined in detail.

Several modifications of the apparatus have been found beneficial and numerous changes in the procedure to be used have been found essential for obtaining satisfactory results. With the suggested improvements, the instrument appears to offer a reasonably satisfactory method for routine
tests of specific surface (usually expressed as square centimeters of surface per gram of cement), and also for approximation of the distribution of the sizes of the particles of the cement.

Although the results are not entirely accurate and reproducible, they are within useful limits and the instrument is recommended for use in acceptance test work on specific surface measurement, until a more accurate method, utilizing instruments of reasonable cost and with simple operating procedure has been developed. For research or investigational purposes, where cements of varying chemical and physical characteristics (including optical properties) are -being studied, it is believed that the turbidimeter method may not be sufficiently accurate and should not be depended upon, unless special precautions are observed and great care taken in the work.

description: Cultural heritage of small homelands is a system of tangible and intangible regional cultural assets that form cultural heritage. The heritage emerges from geographical, economic, and social drivers in the context of regional, national, and social history. It carries a particular cultural value, which deserves being preserved and shared. The paper aims to present current outcomes of an international project, Cultural heritage of small homelands (No. PPI/APM/2018/1/00010/U/001 financed by the Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange NAWA as a part of the International Academic Partnerships). It presents selected cultural heritage components, tangible, intangible, and natural. Research to date demonstrates that effective protection of cultural heritage requires a synergistic approach, combining protection and stimulation of development. Such an approach covers multiple segments and is multidisciplinary.
title: Fetal and Maternal Imaging: Ultrasound Assessment of Labor Parameters
Creators: name: A. Hassan, Wassim
Publisher: name: University of Kent

description: Today antenatal ultrasound is a necessary tool for screening and diagnosis of pregnancy. It is extensively used for fetal chromosomal risk assessment, fetalanatomy and biometry, placental localization and fetal head presentation in singleton and multiple pregnancies. It is essential for intrauterine invasive procedures and for the management of growth restricted fetuses. Ultrasound during labor or "Intrapartum Ultrasound" has been explored widely in the last decade for the assessment of fetal presentation, fetal heart beat localization andmore recently in advanced research topics such as monitoring the progress of labor and prediction of mode of delivery.The overall concept of this thesis was to describe new methods of assessment of parameters of labor by ultrasound. For this purpose, we performed an observational study investigating the use of a novel method for assessing cervical dilatation byultrasound during labor; a novel method for monitoring the progress of labor "sonopartogram"; assessment of caput succedaneum by transperineal ultrasound and furthermore to analyze the parameters of labor by ultrasound in prediction of mode of delivery. In addition to the above methods we will give an insight on the current established methods for assessment of the progress of labor and will compare these methods to ultrasound. We applied innovative use of technology such as transperineal ultrasound in monitoring labor progress. Obstetrics has the opportunity to develop into an objectively guided skill. Assessment of fetal head descent no longer needs to rely on an imaginary line drawn between the ischial spines; cervical dilatation could be measured accurately using simple two-dimensional (2D) ultrasound. Monitoring theprogress of labor has the opportunity to be performed solely by the means of 11 ultrasound. Labor characteristics such as head descent, head rotation, caput succedaneum, cervical dilatation when measured by ultrasound could predict the outcome of delivery (i.e. vaginal or caesarean delivery) in women with prolonged labor.

description: We have performed numerical simulations of a radially perturbed "accretion" torus around a black hole or neutron star and find that the torus performs radial and vertical motions at the appropriate epicyclic frequencies. We find clear evidence that vertical motions are excited in a non-linear resonance when the applied perturbation is periodic in time. The strongest resonant response occurs when the frequency difference of the two oscillations is equal to one-half the forcing frequency, precisely as recently observed in the accreting pulsar, SAX J1808.4-3658, where the observed kHz QPO peak separation is half the spin frequency of 401 Hz.

description: This work combines Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), clustering via Self-Organizing Maps (SOMs) and Hebbian Learning to propose the building blocks of Convolutional Self-Organizing Neural Networks (CSNNs), which learn representations in an unsupervised and Backpropagation-free manner. Our approach replaces the learning of traditional convolutional layers from CNNs with the competitive learning procedure of SOMs and simultaneously learns local masks between those layers with separate Hebbian-like learning rules to overcome the problem of disentangling factors of variation when filters are learned through clustering. We investigate the learned representation by designing two simple models with our building blocks, achieving comparable performance to many methods which use Backpropagation, while we reach comparable performance on Cifar10 and give baseline performances on Cifar100, Tiny ImageNet and a small subset of ImageNet for Backpropagation-free methods.

The evolution of dust in discs influenced by external photoevaporation

description: Protoplanetary discs form and evolve in a wide variety of stellar environments and are accordingly exposed to a wide range of ambient far ultraviolet (FUV) field strengths. Strong FUV fields are known to drive vigorous gaseous flows from the outer disc. In this paper we conduct the first systematic exploration of the evolution of the solid component of discs subject to external photoevaporation. We find that the main effect of photoevaporation is to reduce the reservoir of dust at large radii and this leads to more efficient subsequent depletion of the disc dust due to radial drift. Efficient radial drift means that photoevaporation causes no significant increase of the dust to gas ratio in the disc. We show that the disc lifetime in both dust and gas is strongly dependent on the level of the FUV background and that the relationship between these two lifetimes just depends on the Shakura-Sunyaev $α$ parameter, with the similar lifetimes observed for gas and dust in discs pointing to higher $α$ values ($\sim 10^{-2}$). On the other hand the distribution of observed discs in the plane of disc size versus flux at $850~μ$m is better reproduced by lower $α$ ($\sim 10^{-3}$). We find that photoevaporation does not assist rocky planet formation but need not inhibit mechanisms (such as pebble accretion at the water snow line) which can be effective sufficiently early in the disc's lifetime (i.e. well within a Myr).

description: The role of negative information is particularly important to search-detect-track problems in which the number of objects is unknown a priori, and the size of the sensor field-of-view is far smaller than that of the region of interest. This paper presents an approach for systematically incorporating knowledge of the field-of-view geometry and position and object inclusion/exclusion evidence into object state densities and random finite set multi-object cardinality distributions. The approach is derived for a representative set of multi-object distributions and demonstrated through a sensor planning problem involving a multi-Bernoulli process with up to one-hundred potential targets.
Far-field optical microscope with nanometer-scale resolution based on in-plane surface plasmon imaging

description: A new far-field optical microscopy technique capable of reaching nanometer-scale resolution has been developed recently using the in-plane image magnification by surface plasmon polaritons. This microscopy is based on the optical properties of a metal-dielectric interface that may, in principle, provide extremely large values of the effective refractive index n up to 100-1000 as seen by the surface plasmons. Thus, the theoretical diffraction limit on resolution becomes lambda/2n, and falls into the nanometer-scale range. The experimental realization of the microscope has demonstrated the optical resolution better than 50 nm for 502 nm illumination wavelength. However, the theory of such surface plasmon-based far-field microscope presented so far gives an oversimplified picture of its operation. For example, the imaginary part of the metal dielectric constant severely limits the surface-plasmon propagation and the shortest attainable wavelength in most cases, which in turn limits the microscope magnification. Here I describe how this limitation has been overcome in the experiment, and analyze the practical limits on the surface plasmon microscope resolution. In addition, I present more experimental results, which strongly support the conclusion of extremely high spatial resolution of the surface plasmon microscope.

description: We have used an unsupervised machine learning method called Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) to thematically analyze all papers published in the Physics Education Research Conference Proceedings between 2001 and 2018. By looking at co-occurrences of words across the data corpus, this technique has allowed us to identify ten distinct themes or "topics" that have seen varying levels of prevalence in Physics Education Research (PER) over time and to rate the distribution of these topics within each paper. Our analysis suggests that although all identified topics have seen sustained interest over time, PER has also seen several waves of increased interest in certain topics, beginning with initial interest in qualitative, theory-building studies of student understanding, which has given way to a focus on problem solving in the late 2010s. Since 2010 the field has seen a shift towards more sociocultural views of teaching and learning with a particular focus on communities of practice, student identities, and institutional change. Based on these results, we suggest that unsupervised text analysis techniques like LDA may hold promise for providing quantitative, independent, and replicable analyses of educational research literature.

description: The probability of trajectories of weakly diffusive processes to remain in the tubular neighbourhood of a smooth path is given by the Freidlin-Wentzell-Graham theory of large deviations. The most probable path between two states (the instanton) and the leading term in the logarithm of the process transition density (the quasipotential) are obtained from the minimum of the Freidlin-Wentzell action functional. Here we present a Ritz method that searches for the minimum in a space of paths constructed from a global basis of Chebyshev polynomials. The action is reduced, thereby, to a multivariate function of the basis coefficients, whose minimum can be found by nonlinear optimization. For minimisation regardless of path duration, this procedure is most effective when applied to a reparametrisation-invariant "on-shell" action, which is obtained by exploiting a Noether symmetry and is a generalisation of the scalar work [Olender and Elber, 1997] for gradient dynamics and the geometric action [Heyman and Vanden-Eijnden, 2008] for non-gradient dynamics. Our approach provides an alternative to chain-of-states methods for minimum energy paths and saddlepoints of complex energy landscapes and to Hamilton-Jacobi methods for the stationary quasipotential of circulatory fields. We demonstrate spectral convergence for three benchmark problems involving the Muller-Brown potential, the Maier-Stein force field and the Egger weather model.

description: We use a sample of 3791 quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Early Data Release (EDR), and compare their photometry to historic plate material for the same set of quasars in order to study their variability properties. The time base-line we attain this way ranges from a few months to up to 50 years. In contrast to monitoring programs, where relatively few quasars are photometrically measured over shorter time periods, we utilize existing databases to extend this base-line as much as possible, at the cost of sampling per quasar. Our method, however, can easily be extended to much larger samples. We construct variability Structure Functions and compare these to the literature and model functions. From our modeling we conclude that 1) quasars are more variable toward shorter wavelengths, 2) their variability is consistent with an exponentially decaying light-curve with a typical time-scale of ~2 years, 3) these outbursts occur on typical time-scales of ~200 years. With the upcoming first data release of the SDSS, a much larger quasar sample can be used to put these conclusions on a more secure footing.

description: We use unitarity and analyticity of scattering amplitudes to constrain fermionic operators in the standard model effective field theory. For four-fermion operators at mass dimension 8, we scatter flavor superpositions in fixed standard model representations and find the Wilson coefficients to be constrained so that their contraction with any pair of pure density matrices is positive. These constraints imply that flavor-violating couplings are upper-bounded by their flavor-conserving cousins. For instance, LEP data already appears to preclude certain operators in upcoming $μ\to 3e$ measurements.

description: We present a morphological analysis of atom probe data of nanoscale microstructural features, using methods developed by the astrophysics community to describe the shape of superclusters of galaxies. We describe second-phase regions using Minkowski functionals, representing the regions' volume, surface area, mean curvature and Euler characteristic. The alloy data in this work show microstructures that can be described as sponge-like, filament-like, plate-like, and sphere-like at different concentration levels, and we find quantitative measurements of these features. To reduce user decision-making in constructing isosurfaces and to enhance the accuracy of the analysis a maximum likelihood based denoising filter was developed. We show that this filter performs significantly better than a simple Gaussian smoothing filter. We also interpolate the data using natural cubic splines, to refine voxel sizes and to refine the surface. We demonstrate that it is possible to find a mathematically well-defined, quantitative description of microstructure from atomistic datasets, to sub-voxel resolution, without user-tuneable parameters.

description: We present deep Chandra and XMM obervations of the galaxy cluster RDCS1252.9-2927, which was selected from the ROSAT Deep Cluster Survey (RDCS) and confirmed by extensive spectroscopy with the VLT at redshift z=1.237. With the Chandra data, the X-ray emission from the intra-cluster medium is well resolved and traced out to 500 kpc, thus allowing a measurement of the physical properties of the gas with unprecedented accuracy at this redshift. We detect a clear 6.7 keV Iron K line in the Chandra spectrum providing a redshift within 1% of the spectroscopic one. By augmenting our spectroscopic analysis with the XMM data (MOS detectors only), we significantly narrow down the 1 sigma error bar to 10% for the temperature and 30% for the metallicity, with best fit values kT = 6.0(+0.7,-0.5) keV, Z = 0.36(+0.12,-0.10) Z_sun. In the likely hypothesis of hydrostatic equilibrium, we measure a total mass of M_{500} = (1.9+-0.3)10^14 h_70^{-1}M_sun within R_{Delta=500} = 536 kpc. Overall, these observations imply that RDCS1252.9-2927 is the most X-ray luminous and likely the most massive bona-fide cluster discovered to date at z>1. When combined with current samples of distant clusters, these data lend further support to a mild evolution of the cluster scaling relations, as well the metallicity of the intra-cluster gas. Inspection of the cluster mass function in the current cosmological concordance model (h,Omega_m,Omega_Lambda)=(0.7,0.3,0.7) and sigma_8=0.7-0.8 shows that RDCS1252.9-2927 is an M* cluster at z=1.24, in keeping with number density expectations in the RDCS survey volume.

Technical Brief No. 1 on Menstrual Hygiene Safe Disposal: Observations from Menstrual Waste Disposal Practices in Shared and Public Toilet Spaces (India)
Creators: name: Elledge, Myles
name: Arundati Muralidharan
Publisher: name: Gates Open Research
Year: 2019

description: With increasing sanitary pad use, incinerators are a popular technology solution to handling menstrual waste in institutional settings such as schools, as well as in community and public toilet sites. Incinerator technologies in India vary widely, and include simple fuel-assisted burning chambers made of brick, tin or terracotta, small-scale electric incinerators, large and mid-sized commercial electric incinerators, and bio-medical incinerators.

In India, incinerators are gaining in popularity as they potentially offer a complete on-site menstrual waste management solution. While incineration requires that menstrual waste is separated from other solid waste for treatment, it need not always involve the various steps required for solid waste management in terms of transportation of segregated waste, secondary segregation, storage, treatment and final disposal. Further, given the socio-cultural norms around seeing and handling menstrual blood, incinerators are one solution to minimize handling of such waste.

The primary study was done in Ahmedabad (by SEWA), Coimbatore (by PSG) and Delhi (by WaterAid India) with women who used public and community toilets in May-August 2018. The purpose of the on-site work was to understand their preferences and challenges related to the use of public facilities during menstruation, and their preferred design of public facilities that will make disposal of used products more convenient, and their preferences regarding incineration as a disposal method. The design and development of effective technologies to manage menstrual waste on-site depends upon understanding common practices and preferences.

The study found that sanitary pad use was prevalent in urban areas, and that women accessing public toilets do change and discard their used materials in these public sites. However, public toilets were often poorly equipped with discrete and safe disposal options.

Women expressed preference for discrete on-site disposal, mechanical collection and handling of waste, reliable female caretakers, well-lit toilet stalls that offered privacy, water and soap for washing, paper to wrap used materials before throwing. Women had mixed views about thermal treatment of menstrual waste. Those in favour, viewed incineration as a convenient technology to deal with menstrual waste on site in an efficient manner. Other expressed discomfort with burning menstrual waste due to socio-cultural norms related to menstrual waste or expressed concerns over the smoke released from incinerators during combustion.

The findings from this study reiterate the need for responsive pubic sanitation facilities that cater to the menstrual hygiene needs of women in low and middle income settings. The findings also point to the need for facility design and operational guidelines, and waste appliance standards.

description: We introduce a coarse-grained deep neural network model (CG-DNN) for liquid water that utilizes 50 rotational and translational invariant coordinates, and is trained exclusively against energies of ~30,000 bulk water configurations. Our CG-DNN potential accurately predicts both the energies and molecular forces of water; within 0.9 meV/molecule and 54 meV/angstrom of a reference (coarse-grained bond-order potential) model. The CG-DNN water model also provides good prediction of several structural, thermodynamic, and temperature dependent properties of liquid water, with values close to that obtained from the reference model. More importantly, CG-DNN captures the well-known density anomaly of liquid water observed in experiments. Our work lays the groundwork for a scheme where existing empirical water models can be utilized to develop fully flexible neural network framework that can subsequently be trained against sparse data from high-fidelity albeit expensive beyond-DFT calculations.

description: A model is proposed to describe a transition from a charged black hole of mass $M$ and charge $Q$ to one of mass $\bar{M}$ and charge $\bar{Q}$. The basic equations are derived from the non-vacuum Einstein field equations sourced by the Coulomb field and by a null scalar field with a nonvanishing trace anomaly. It is shown that the nonvanishing trace of the energy-momentum tensor prevents the formation of a naked singularity.

Description
Specimens pinkish-brown to dark brown in alcohol with olive-green blotches, size- range 42 x 20 mm to 46 x 22 mm. Tentacles of approximately equal size; podia arranged in 3-5 rows ventrally and 2-3 rows dorsally; numerous papillae-like projections (papulae) in dorsal interambulacra. Slender forked rods of body wall 53-98 µm, buttons 58-130 µm, usually with four holes, sometimes more or less.
Distribution Torra Bay, Namibia to Qolora, north-east of East London, ECP, shallow.
Remarks
Thandar (1991) described changes in deposits with age in this species and reported the absence of anal teeth. Natasen Moodley (2000), who initially examined the current material, also mentions the absence of anal teeth but in at least one of her specimens here re-examined, their presence is confirmed, supporting Heding’s (1938), Deichmann’s (1948) and Cherbonnier’s (1952) independent observations. Evidently then anal teeth may be present, absent, or inconspicuous in the species. The current material from Namibia considerably extends the species range north of False Bay.

description: Diamond is used extensively as a component in high energy density experiments, but existing equation of state (EOS) models do not capture its observed response to dynamic loading. In particular, in contrast with first principles theoretical EOS models, no solid-solid phase changes have been detected, and no general-purpose EOS models match the measured ambient isotherm. We have performed density functional theory (DFT) calculations of the diamond phase to ~10TPa, well beyond its predicted range of thermodynamic stability, and used these results as the basis of a Mie-Greuneisen EOS. We also performed DFT calculations of the elastic moduli, and calibrated an algebraic elasticity model for use in simulations. We then estimated the flow stress of diamond by comparison with the stress-density relation measured experimentally in ramp-loading experiments. The resulting constitutive model allows us to place a constraint on the Taylor-Quinney factor (the fraction of plastic work converted to heat) from the observation that diamond does not melt on ramp compression.

description: By exploiting the hidden algebraic structure of the Schrodinger Hamiltonian, namely the sl(2), we propose a unified approach of generating both exactly solvable and quasi-exactly solvable quantum potentials. We obtain, in this way, two new classes of quasi-exactly solvable systems one of which is of periodic type while the other hyperbolic.

Centrality dependence of charged hadron transverse momentum spectra in Au+Au collisions from sqrt(s_NN) = 62.4 to 200 GeV

description: We have measured transverse momentum distributions of charged hadrons produced in Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 62.4 GeV. The spectra are presented for transverse momenta 0.25 < p_T< 4.5 GeV/c, in a pseudo-rapidity range of 0.2 < eta < 1.4. The nuclear modification factor R_AA is calculated relative to p+p data at the same collision energy as a function of collision centrality. For p_T > 2 GeV/c, R_AA is found to be significantly larger than in Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN) =130 and 200 GeV. In contrast, we find that the evolution of the invariant yields per participant pair from peripheral to central collisions is approximately energy independent over this range of collision energies. This observation challenges models of high p_T hadron suppression in terms of parton energy loss.

Relaxation of a Collisionless System and the Transition to a New Equilibrium Velocity Distribution

description: In this paper, we present our conclusions from the numerical study of the collapse of a destabilized collisionless stellar system. We use both direct integration of the Vlasov-Poisson equations and an N-body tree code to obtain our results, which are mutually confirmed. We find that spherical and moderately nonspherical collapse configurations evolve to new equilibrium configurations in which the velocity distribution approaches a Gaussian form, at least in the central regions. The evolution to this state has long been an open question, and in this work we are able to clarify the process responsible and to support predictions made from statistical considerations (Lynden-Bell 1967; Nakamura 2000). The simulations of merging N-body systems show a transition to a Gaussian velocity distribution that is increasingly suppressed as the initial separation of centres is increased. Possible reasons for this are discussed.

description: Motivated by dynamical experiments on cold atomic gases, we develop a quantum kinetic approach to weakly perturbed integrable models out of equilibrium. Using the exact matrix elements of the underlying integrable model we establish an analytical approach to real-time dynamics. The method addresses a broad range of timescales, from the intermediate regime of pre-thermalization to late-time thermalization. Predictions are given for the time-evolution of physical quantities, including effective temperatures and thermalization rates. The approach provides conceptual links between perturbed quantum many-body dynamics and classical Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser (KAM) theory. In particular, we identify a family of perturbations which do not cause thermalization in the weakly perturbed regime.

description: With increasing sanitary pad use, incinerators are a popular technology solution to handling menstrual waste in institutional settings such as schools, as well as in community and public toilet sites. Incinerator technologies in India vary widely, and include simple fuel-assisted burning chambers made of brick, tin or terracotta, small-scale electric incinerators, large and mid-sized commercial electric incinerators, and bio-medical incinerators.

In India, incinerators are gaining in popularity as they potentially offer a complete on-site menstrual waste management solution. While incineration requires that menstrual waste is separated from other solid waste for treatment, it need not always involve the various steps required for solid waste management in terms of transportation of segregated waste, secondary segregation, storage, treatment and final disposal. Further, given the socio-cultural norms around seeing and handling menstrual blood, incinerators are one solution to minimize handling of such waste.

Incinerators, however, pose certain health and environmental related risks and challenges. With the lack of regulatory standards for small and medium scale incinerators in India, many of the incinerators available in the market do not adhere to sound design principles and do not incorporate emission control measures to reduce toxic emissions. Often times, small scale incinerators are placed in closed spaces (within the toilet complex) or near the toilet, where by emissions can pose a threat to health. Many incinerators are installed with limited training of operators on how to run the machine and how best to maintain it. Anecdotal evidence suggests that small electric incinerators quickly become dysfunctional and cease to serve their purpose. Socio-cultural norms associated with burning of menstrual blood-born products can influence the use of incinerators directly by users and by operators, and need to be considered when installing such technologies.

Two activities organized by WaterAid / India have been undertaken as a part of this task order: 1) roundtable with MHM and public health experts; 2) policy dialogue with the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).
