Distances and Cosmology From Galaxy Cluster CMB Data

description: The measurement of angular diameter distance to galaxy clusters, through combined Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect data with X-ray emission observations, is now a well-known probe of cosmology. Using a combination of SZ data and a map of the lensed CMB anisotropies by the galaxy cluster potential, we propose an alternative geometric technique to measure distance information primarily through cluster related multi-frequency CMB measurements. We discuss necessary requirements to implement this measurement, potential errors including systematic biases, and the extent to which cosmological parameters can be extracted. While individual cluster distances are not likely to be precise, with upcoming subarcminute resolution wide-area CMB observations, useful information on certain cosmological parameters, such as the equation of state of dark energy, can be obtained from a large sample of galaxy clusters.

description: The dawn of the cyber age and cyberspace inclusive of computers, computer networks, the internet, information technology, and virtual reality, means much of a person’s personal and financial life is transacted over the cyberspace. States have also taken advantage of these modern technologies. This has afforded the opportunity for these tools to become the objects and media through which crimes and torts are committed.
Cybercrimes or computer-oriented crimes include but are not restricted to the hacking of computers or computer networks, cyberstalking, cybersquatting, child pornography, computer-related fraud, identity theft, impersonation, and cyberterrorism. On the other hand, cybertorts are torts which are committed on computer systems or a network of computer systems such as trespass to chattels, conversion, cyber defamation, negligent enablement of cybercrimes, etc. Recent global happenings including, ransomware and malware attacks, cybersquatting, cyberbullying and cyber harassment, cyberwarfare, and child pornography have shown how these actions affect the private and financial life of citizens as well as the economic development and international reputation of states. In light of these, States have recognized the pertinent need to have in place laws combating cybercrimes and cybertorts.
This thesis aims at examining the response of legal systems to these crimes and torts. The international position will be looked at in respect of responsibilities of states, jurisdiction, and international cooperation, treaties and conventions dealing with cybercrimes and cybertorts. The position of other jurisdictions specifically the United States of America, the United Kingdom, India, and Kenya will be analysed. The position of Nigerian law will also be examined and its inadequacies will be highlighted, and lessons from other jurisdictions on better ways to combat these crimes and torts will be extracted, resulting in recommendations.

description: For a compiled sample of disk galaxies with available photometry (B and K bands), velocity line-widths and HI integral fluxes, several parameters which trace the luminous, baryonic and dark matter contents were inferred. We investigated how these parameters do vary with different galaxy properties, and confronted the results with predictions of galaxy evolutionary models in the context of the LCDM cosmogony. The ratio of disk-to-total maximum circular velocity, vd/vt, depends mainly on the central disk surface density Sig_d (or surface brightness, SB), increasing roughly as Sig_d^0.15. While a fraction of high SB galaxies have a vd/vt ratio corresponding to the maximum disk solution, the low SB are completely dark matter dominated. The trend is similar for the models, although they have slightly smaller vd/vt ratios than observations. An analysis of residuals of the vd/vt-Sig_d relation shows that vd/vt tends to decrease as the galaxy is redder, more luminous (massive), and of earlier type. The models allow us to explain the physics of these results, which imply a connexion between halo structure and luminous properties. The estimated dynamical-to-baryon mass and dynamical mass-to-light ratios at a given radius, for observations and models, decrease with the SB and do not correlate with the galaxy scale, contrary to what has been reported in previous works, based on the analysis of rotation curve shapes. We discuss this difference and state the importance to solve the controversy on whether the dark and luminous contents in disk galaxies depend on SB or luminosity. The broad agreement between models and observations favors the LCDM scenario. However, the excess of dark matter inside the optical region of disk galaxies remains as the main difficulty. (abridged)

description: The next era of ground-based Cherenkov telescope development will see a great increase in both quantity and quality of $γ$-ray morphological data. This initiated the development of a spatio-temporal leptonic transport code to model pulsar wind nebulae. We present results from this code that predicts the evolution of the leptonic particle spectrum and radiation at different radii in a spherically-symmetric source. We simultaneously fit the overall broadband spectral energy distribution, the surface brightness profile and the X-ray photon index vs.\ radius for PWN 3C~58, PWN G21.5$-$0.9 and PWN G0.9+0.1. Such concurrent fitting of disparate data sets is non-trivial and we thus investigate the utility of different goodness-of-fit statistics, specifically the traditional $χ^2$ test statistic and a newly developed scaled-flux-normalised test statistic to obtain best-fit parameters. We find reasonable fits to the spatial and spectral data of all three sources, but note some remaining degeneracies that will have to be broken by future observations.

description: These are the slides from the 2021 Workshop ‘Historical Newspaper Content Mining: findings from the impresso project’, which was part of the series ‘Applying and deploying Artificial Intelligence (AI) in GLAMs’ organised by AI4LAM (Teaching and Learning Working Group) and co-hosted by LIBER and the BnF. Extracting content via text mining and making it accessible for scholarly research has been often discussed in the past decade, but the noisy output has stiffened its realisation. ‘Media Monitoring of the Past’ is an interdisciplinary research project in which a team of computational linguists, designers and historians seek to integrate text mining in historical research workflows. The project uses the datafication of a multilingual corpus of digitized historical newspapers from various transnational European collections. The findings of this project have been used for the creation of the impresso app, which allows researchers to explore, use, and share the historical texts from the project’s corpus. The aim of the workshop series is to provide training opportunities for those interested in applying and deploying Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Libraries, Galleries, Archives, and Museums. The series will bring together a diverse community of experts with subject and domain expertise, as well as technologists across GLAM institutions for a collaborative learning event to share tools and experiences and to reflect on the process of applying AI and its implications for GLAM institutions.
Suppress motional dephasing of ground-Rydberg transition for high-fidelity quantum control with neutral atoms

description: The performance of many control tasks with Rydberg atoms can be improved via suppression of the motion-induced dephasing between ground and Rydberg states of neutral atoms. The dephasing often occurs during the {\it gap} time when the atom is shelved in a Rydberg state before its deexcitation. By using laser fields to induce specific extra phase change to the Rydberg state during the gap time, it is possible to faithfully transfer the Rydberg state back to the ground state after the gap. Although the Rydberg state transitions back and forth between different eigenstates during the gap time, it preserves the blockade interaction between the atom of interest and a nearby Rydberg excitation. This simple method of suppressing the motional dephasing of a flying Rydberg atom can be used in a broad range of quantum control over neutral atoms.

description: Several classes of physical systems exhibit ultraslow diffusion for which the mean squared displacement at long times grows as a power of the logarithm of time ("strong anomaly") and share the interesting property that the probability distribution of particle's position at long times is a double-sided exponential. We show that such behaviors can be adequately described by a distributed-order fractional Fokker-Planck equations with a power-law weighting-function. We discuss the equations and the properties of their solutions, and connect this description with a scheme based on continuous-time random walks.

description: Quantum computing potentially offers exponential speed-ups over classical computing for certain tasks. A central, outstanding challenge to making quantum computing practical is to achieve fault tolerance, meaning that computations of any length or size can be realised in the presence of noise. The Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill code is a promising approach towards fault-tolerant quantum computing, encoding logical qubits into grid states of harmonic oscillators. However, for the code to be fault tolerant, the quality of the grid states has to be extremely high. Approximate grid states have recently been realized experimentally, but their quality is still insufficient for fault tolerance. Current implementable protocols for generating grid states rely on measurements of ancillary qubits combined with either postselection or feed forward. Implementing such measurements take up significant time during which the states decohere, thus limiting their quality. Here we propose a measurement-free preparation protocol which deterministically prepares arbitrary logical grid states with a rectangular or hexagonal lattice. The protocol can be readily implemented in trapped-ion or superconducting-circuit platforms to generate high-quality grid states using only a few interactions, even with the noise levels found in current systems.

We investigate the Klein-Gordon equation in the presence of external fields in the considered framework. We also investigate a quantum particle described by the Klein-Gordon oscillator in the curved background space-time in the presence of external fields. We see that the energy eigenvalues get modifies in comparison to the results obtained in a cosmic string space-time.

description: The high computational cost of current state transition tensor (STT)-based high-order extended Kalman filter (HEKF) algorithms limits in-orbit orbit determination (OD) applications. This paper proposes an efficient filter algorithm to reduce the computational cost in solving OD problems. First, a measurement-directional STT (MDSTT) is developed, in which the state space is decomposed into large-uncertainty and small-uncertainty directions according to the measurement model. The developed MDSTT ignores the high-order terms along the small-uncertainty directions; in this way, the number of high-order variables required to be calculated is significantly reduced. Then, a reduced version of HEKF is proposed by implementing the MDSTT in a HEKF framework. The expressions for the time and measurement update steps are derived by approximating the STT with the MDSTT. The algorithm is applied to resolve OD problems in highly nonlinear cases: cislunar space. Numerical results show that the algorithm outperforms the linear algorithm regarding estimated accuracy and uncertainty quantification capacity. In addition, the algorithm presents the same accuracy level as the HEKF, but it is about 67% faster than the HEKF.
Early Structure Formation and Reionization in a Cosmological Model with a Running Primordial Power Spectrum

description: (abridged) We study high redshift structure formation and reionization in a LCDM universe under the assumption that the spectral power index of primordial density fluctuations is a function of length scale. We adopt a particular formulation of the running spectral index (RSI) model as suggested by the recent WMAP data. While early structure forms hierarchically in the RSI model, the reduced power on small scales causes a considerable delay in the formation epoch of low mass (~ 10^6 Msun) ``mini-halos'' compared to the LCDM model. The extremely small number of gas clouds in the RSI model indicates that reionization is initiated later than z<15, generally resulting in a smaller total Thomson optical depth than in the LCDM model. By carrying out radiative transfer calculations, we also study reionization by stellar populations formed in galaxies. Even with a top-heavy intial mass function representing an early population of massive stars and/or an extraordinarily high photon emission rate from galaxies, the total optical depth can only be as large as tau ~ 0.1 for reasonable models of early star-formation. The RSI model is thus in conflict with the large Thomson optical depth inferred by the WMAP satellite.

description: Spectroscopic results on low frequency excitations of densified silica are presented and related to characteristic thermal properties of glasses. The end of the longitudinal acoustic branch is marked by a rapid increase of the Brillouin linewidth with the scattering vector. This rapid growth saturates at a crossover frequency Omega_co which nearly coincides with the center of the boson peak. The latter is clearly due to additional optic-like excitations related to nearly rigid SiO_4 librations as indicated by hyper-Raman scattering. Whether the onset of strong scattering is best described by hybridization of acoustic modes with these librations, by their elastic scattering (Rayleigh scattering) on the local excitations, or by soft potentials remains to be settled.

description: While the business models used in most segments of the media industry have been profoundly changed by the Internet surprisingly little has been changed in the publishing of scholarly peer reviewed journals. Electronic delivery has become the norm, but the same publishers as before are dominating the market, selling content to subscribers. This article asks the question why Open Access (OA) to the output of mainly publicly funded research hasn't yet become the mainstream business model. OA implies a reversal of business logic from readers paying for content to authors paying fro dissemination via universa free access. The current situation is analyzed using Porter's five forces model. The analysis demonstrates a lack of competitive pressure in this industry, leading to so high profit levels of the leading publishers that they have yet to feel a strong need to change the way they operate.

description: We investigate cosmologies with homogeneous extra dimensions that can be described by generalised Friedmann-Robertson-Walker metrics and give a brief review on a general setup to describe a broad range of standard stabilization and compactification mechanisms. These mechanisms allow for solutions to the field equations with static extra dimensions if the universe is dominated by radiation or an approximately constant energy-momentum tensor, as for example due to a cosmological constant. During matter domination, however, there are no static solutions for the extra dimensions and we therefore conclude that in this setup it is not possible to construct stabilization mechanisms for the whole evolution history of the universe. We furthermore show in detail that the two possible approaches of discussing either the higher-dimensional field equations directly or the dimensionally reduced and conformally transformed theory, are exactly equivalent and thus lead to the same conclusions. Finally, we indicate a possible way out of these difficulties.

description: A pesquisa está centrada em analisar a questão da dependência econômica nos contratos de distribuição, também chamado de concessão mercantil, que não relativo à venda de veículos automotores. A partir do método dedutivo apoiado em pesquisa bibliográfica e jurisprudencial, buscar-se-á identificar se tal dependência, inerente a este tipo contratual, deve ou não ser neutralizada. Parte-se das noções básicas da distribuição enquanto logística, destacando sua relevância nas relações negociais interempresariais, sendo contratos decisivos para que o maior número de consumidores seja alcançado pelo produto comercializado, em um universo de mais em mais competitivo e universalizado, como uma fórmula jurídica importante que dispõe o empresário para viabilizar o escoamento de sua produção. Aborda-se também a atipicidade destes contratos e seus reflexos tanto para as relações entre os agentes quanto para o operador do direito, na medida em que, como contrato atípico, não se reveste de características próprias, comuns, aplicáveis a todos os contratos. Por isso, nota-se que a jurisprudência tem um papel decisivo na análise dos riscos jurídicos assumidos pelos empresários ao optar por firmar um contrato de distribuição, na medida em que é uma forma de orientar os agentes econômicos na tomada de suas decisões estratégicas.

description: The dawn of the cyber age and cyberspace inclusive of computers, computer networks, the internet, information technology, and virtual reality, means much of a person’s personal and financial life is transacted over the cyberspace. States have also taken advantage of these modern technologies. This has afforded the opportunity for these tools to become the objects and media through which crimes and torts are committed.
Cybercrimes or computer-oriented crimes include but are not restricted to the hacking of computers or computer networks, cyberstalking, cybersquatting, child pornography, computer-related fraud, identity theft, impersonation, and cyberterrorism. On the other hand, cybertorts are torts which are committed on computer systems or a network of computer systems such as trespass to chattels, conversion, cyber defamation, negligent enablement of cybercrimes, etc. Recent global happenings including, ransomware and malware attacks, cybersquatting, cyberbullying and cyber harassment, cyberwarfare, and child pornography have shown how these actions affect the private and financial life of citizens as well as the economic development and international reputation of states. In light of these, States have recognized the pertinent need to have in place laws combating cybercrimes and cybertorts.
This thesis aims at examining the response of legal systems to these crimes and torts. The international position will be looked at in respect of responsibilities of states, jurisdiction, and international cooperation, treaties and conventions dealing with cybercrimes and cybertorts. The position of other jurisdictions specifically the United States of America, the United Kingdom, India, and Kenya will be analysed. The position of Nigerian law will also be examined and its inadequacies will be highlighted, and lessons from other jurisdictions on better ways to combat these crimes and torts will be extracted, resulting in recommendations.
UV divergence-free QFT on noncommutative plane

description: We formulate Noncommutative Qauntum Field Theory in terms of fields defined as mean value over coherent states of the noncommutative plane. No *-product is needed in this formulation and noncommutativity is carried by a modified Fourier transform of fields. As a result the theory is UV finite and the cutoff is provided by the noncommutative parameter theta.

description: This report summarizes the 2008 financial and production records of 44 Michigan cash grain farms. To be included, the farms must have produced at least 50 percent of gross cash farm income from one or a combination of these items: corn, soybeans, wheat, navy beans, oats, sugar beets and other small grains. The records came from Michigan State University’s TelFarm project and Farm Credit Service of Michigan. The values were pooled into averages for reporting purposes. Farm records were included if a farm financial analysis had completed 2008 data including beginning and ending balance sheets and a statement of income and expenses. The data was checked to verify that cash discrepancy was less than 10% of gross cash inflow and that debt discrepancy was less than $1,000. While considerable variation in the data exists, average values are reported in the summary tables.

description: This paper develops a model of demand estimation in which consumers learn about their true preferences through consumption experiences. We develop a theoretical model of Bayesian updating, perform comparative statics over the model, and show how the theoretical model can be consistently incorporated into a reduced form econometric model. We then estimate the model using data collected for two quasi-public goods. We find that the predictions of the theoretical exercise that additional experience with a good will make consumers more certain over their preferences in both mean and variance are supported in each case.
Migration of Trans-Neptunian Objects to the Terrestrial Planets

description: The orbital evolution of more than 22000 Jupiter-crossing objects under the gravitational influence of planets was investigated. We found that the mean collision probabilities of Jupiter-crossing objects (from initial orbits close to the orbit of a comet) with the terrestrial planets can differ by more than two orders of magnitude for different comets. For initial orbital elements close to those of some comets (e.g. 2P and 10P), about 0.1% of objects got Earth-crossing orbits with semi-major axes a<2 AU and moved in such orbits for more than a Myr (up to tens or even hundreds of Myrs). Results of our runs testify in favor of at least one of these conclusions: 1) the portion of 1-km former trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) among near-Earth objects (NEOs) can exceed several tens of percents, 2) the number of TNOs migrating inside solar system could be smaller by a factor of several than it was earlier considered, 3) most of 1-km former TNOs that had got NEO orbits disintegrated into mini-comets and dust during a smaller part of their dynamical lifetimes if these lifetimes are not small.

description: The linewidth of longitudinal acoustic waves in densified silica glass is obtained by inelastic x-ray scattering. It increases with a high power alpha of the frequency up to a crossover where the waves experience strong scattering. We find that αis at least 4, and probably larger. Resonance and hybridization of acoustic waves with the boson-peak modes seems to be a more likely explanation for these findings than Rayleigh scattering from disorder.

description: We describe a novel language-independent approach to the task of determining the polarity, positive or negative, of the author's opinion on a specific topic in natural language text. In particular, weights are assigned to attributes, individual words or word bi-grams, based on their position and on their likelihood of being subjective. The subjectivity of each attribute is estimated in a two-step process, where first the probability of being subjective is calculated for each sentence containing the attribute, and then these probabilities are used to alter the attribute's weights for polarity classification. The evaluation results on a standard dataset of movie reviews shows 89.85% classification accuracy, which rivals the best previously published results for this dataset for systems that use no additional linguistic information nor external resources.
