N-band Observations of He 2-10: Unveiling the Dusty Engine of a Starburst Galaxy

description: To better understand the early stages of massive star cluster evolution we have obtained J,H,K', and N (10.8 micron) images of the nuclear region of the starburst galaxy He 2-10. The N-band images were obtained with the Gemini North telescope and reveal four of the five enshrouded clusters, or "ultradense HII regions" (UDHIIs), recently discovered in radio maps. None of these sources appears in either the optical HST images or the near-infrared images. They comprise about 60% of the total N-band flux from He 2-10 and, we suspect, a similar fraction of the total far infrared flux measured by IRAS. The inferred spectra of the UDHIIs are very similar to those of Galactic ultracompact HII regions and we have modeled the UDHIIs under the assumption that they are "scaled-up" versions of these objects. The bolometric luminosity of the brightest UDHII is estimated to be ~2x10^9 L_sun, and the total mass of the dust and gas is ~10^7 M_sun. The mass of the enshrouded stellar cluster must be > 2.5x10^6 M_sun and the age must be < 4.8x10^6 yr. All of the stellar clusters within the UDHIIs must have ages less than about 5x10^6 yr and masses greater than about 5x10^5 M_sun. The logarithmic ratios of the radio to far infrared flux densities for the individual UDHIIs, and He 2-10 as a whole, are significantly larger than the average for normal galaxies, but comparable to those for ultraluminous infrared galaxies. Large ratios for some starburst galaxies may indicate that a significant fraction of the far infrared flux arises from UDHIIs. If all of the far infrared flux from He 2-10 and other starbursts is produced by heavily obscured regions, the observed correlation between UV continuum slope and infrared-to-ultraviolet flux ratio in starbursts cannot be due primarily to UV reprocessing by dust in a foreground screen.

title: Dust activities in Australia: their severity and spatiotemporal distribution using data from multiple sources

Subjects: subject: dust event
subject: aerosol optical depth (AOD)

subject: remote sensing

description: Dust storms are meteorological events common in arid and semi-arid regions when strong winds entrain loose sediments and soil particles from a dry surface. As the driest inhabited continent in the world, dust storms occur regularly in Australia with adverse impacts on agriculture, public health, and the economy. The severity and frequency of occurrence of dust storms are often associated with prolonged periods of low rainfall and poor vegetation cover. Unlike water erosion, the source area of wind erosion and dust storms is diffuse, their pathways not well defined, with fine dust particles capable of traveling long distances over land and across the sea. It is therefore challenging and, at the same time, of great importance to be able to predict the occurrence and severity (or intensity) of dust storms so that the government and wider community can take appropriate actions to mitigate their adverse impacts. With the rapid development of satellite technology and general circulation models (GCMs) in recent years, remote sensing data and reanalysis have increasingly been used for temporal and spatial analysis and prediction of dust activities. There has been no systematic attempt to quantitatively compare remote sensing and GCM dust outputs, analyze the temporal and spatial distribution of dust activities using multiple data sets, and predict a time series of dust storm activity in Australia. Therefore, the overall aim of this Ph.D. thesis is to identify spatial and temporal variations of dust severity with selected high-accuracy remote sensing and GCM data and to build a predictive dust model for selected sites in eastern Australia based on datasets from multiple sources.

description: We have constructed a comprehensive grid of 690 metal line-blanketed, NLTE, plane-parallel, hydrostatic model atmospheres for the basic parameters appropriate to O-type stars. The OSTAR2002 grid considers 12 values of effective temperatures, 27500K < Teff < 55000K with 2500K steps, 8 surface gravities, 3.0 < log g< 4.75 with 0.25 dex steps, and 10 chemical compositions, from metal-rich relative to the Sun to metal-free. The lower limit of log g for a given effective temperature is set by an approximate location of the Eddington limit. The selected chemical compositions have been chosen to cover a number of typical environments of massive stars: the galactic center, the Magellanic Clouds, Blue Compact Dwarf galaxies like I Zw 18, and galaxies at high redshifts. The paper contains a description of the OSTAR2002 grid and some illustrative examples and comparisons. The complete OSTAR2002 grid is available at our website at http://tlusty.gsfc.nasa.gov.

description: New health technologies are undoubtedly one of the most significant contributors in improving health and quality of life. Nonetheless, they also create challenges in ensuring they provide value for money and that they are safe and effective. In order to address these issues, health technology assessment (HTA) processes have been developed. Today, HTA has become an essential tool for making decisions about choosing and introducing new health technologies. However, concern has been expressed about HTA dissemination and use by decision makers especially at the institutional level. There is little published research to date from the HTA users’ point of view in this area of concern. Thus, this study aims to investigate the effectiveness of the dissemination of HTA products at the institutional level using the diffusion of innovation theory supplemented by the promoting action on research implementation in health services (PARIHS) framework as the research conceptual framework in order to determine the major determinants. These determinants include the decision making processes for introducing new health technologies, and the organisational and individual factors that contribute to the adoption processes in hospitals.

description: We present novel constructions concerning the homology of finitely generated groups. Each construction draws on ideas of Gilbert Baumslag. There is a finitely presented acyclic group $U$ such that $U$ has no proper subgroups of finite index and every finitely presented group can be embedded in $U$. There is no algorithm that can determine whether or not a finitely presentable subgroup of a residually finite, biautomatic group is perfect. For every recursively presented abelian group $A$ there exists a pair of groups $i:P_A\hookrightarrow G_A$ such that $i$ induces an isomorphism of profinite completions, where $G_A$ is a torsion-free biautomatic group that is residually finite and superperfect, while $P_A$ is a finitely generated group with $H_2(P_A,\mathbb{Z})\cong A$.

description: We review recent progress on Horn's problem, which asks for a description of the possible eigenspectra of the sum of two matrices with known eigenvalues. After revisiting the classical case, we consider several generalizations in which the space of matrices under study carries an action of a compact Lie group, and the goal is to describe an associated probability measure on the space of orbits. We review some recent results about the problem of computing the probability density via orbital integrals and about the locus of singularities of the density. We discuss some relations with representation theory, combinatorics, pictographs and symmetric polynomials, and we also include some novel remarks in connection with Schur's problem.
Cosmological Information from Quasar-Galaxy Correlations induced by Weak Lensing

description: The magnification bias of large-scale structures, combined with galaxy biasing, leads to a cross-correlation of distant quasars with foreground galaxies on angular scales of the order of arc minutes and larger. The amplitude and angular shape of the cross-correlation function w_QG contain information on cosmological parameters and the galaxy bias factor. While the existence of this cross-correlation has firmly been established, existing data did not allow an accurate measurement of w_QG yet, but wide area surveys like the Sloan Digital Sky Survey now provide an ideal database for measuring it. However, w_QG depends on several cosmological parameters and the galaxy bias factor. We study in detail the sensitivity of w_QG to these parameters and develop a strategy for using the data. We show that the parameter space can be reduced to the bias factor b, Omega_0 and sigma_8, and compute the accuracy with which these parameters can be deduced from SDSS data. Under reasonable assumptions, it should be possible to reach relative accuracies of the order of 5%-15% for b, Omega_0, and sigma_8. This method is complementary to other weak-lensing analyses based on cosmic shear.

description: It has been reported that there is an error in the figure in Dull et al. (1997, D97) that shows the radial M/L profile in Fokker-Planck models of M15. We discuss how this modifies the interpretation of our kinematical data. These imply the existence of a dark and compact mass component near the center of M15, either a single black hole (BH) or a collection of dark remnants that have sunk to the cluster center due to mass segregation. We previously showed that the latter interpretation is in conflict with the D97 M/L profile, which supported the BH interpretation. We repeat our analysis here with the corrected D97 profile. Models without a BH are now found to be statistically acceptable (within 1-sigma), although inclusion of a BH still provides a marginally better fit. It does not necessarily follow that dark remnants are now the preferred interpretation of the data. The D97 models, as well as N-body models by Baumgardt et al. (2002), assume that all neutron stars are retained during cluster evolution. This conflicts with predictions of the neutron-star retention rate (typically below 10 per cent) based on pulsar kick velocities. The presence of a single BH therefore continues to be a viable interpretation of the data. The best fit BH mass with the corrected D97 M/L profile is M_BH = 1.7^{+2.7}_{-1.7} x 10^3 solar masses, and with a constant M/L it is M_BH = 3.2^{+2.2}_{-2.2} x 10^3 solar masses. A model that includes both neutron star escape and mass segregation would probably yield a value between these numbers. This agrees with the correlation between velocity dispersion and BH mass inferred for galaxies. However, with the presently available models and data it is neither uniquely implied nor ruled out that M15 has an intermediate-mass BH.

description: Who are bhil ? According to Enthoven, bhil are inhabitants of ‘Gujarat, Khāndesh, Rājputānā and Central India’. [Enthoven, 1987 : The Tribes And Castes Of Bombay, Vol 1, 151] Based on the mention of bhil in Saṁskṛt texts, Enthoven concludes that they ‘represent those people who opposed the advancing tide of Aryan conquest’ across the Vindhya. [Enthoven, 1987 : 153] This view is somewhat confirmed by Wilson; he connects them to the ‘dravidian or southerner’ tribes, inhabiting the rugged hillsides of the Vindhya mountains. [Wilson, 1876 : The Aboriginal Tribes of Bombay Presidency, 2] We have to understand that here ‘dravidian or southerner’ does not refer to the inhabitants of the tāmiḷākam to the extreme south of the peninsula; rather it refers to the inhabitants of the Deccan that lies between the Vindhya and the tāmiḷākam. In the beginning we had called them vaḍukar, the appellation that the tāmiḷ used for them. But later we identified this community as the kur (kurūbā, kurūmbā, kuṁḷbī, kuṇbī, kurmi, kudubi, karni, kanbi, etc). So our conjecture that the kur territory might have extended even to the north of the Vindhya seems to be not altogether wrong; at least as far as the western end of the Indo-Gangetic plain is concerned; we have said earlier that the Munda, Khasi, Santhal, etc, that inhabit the eastern Ganga-Bramhaputra plain, including its extension to the south, generally clubbed under the Austro-Asiatic group, reveal the traces of both kur and kirāt ancestry.

description: We present the B-band Tully-Fisher relation (TFR) of 60 late-type galaxies with redshifts 0.1-1. The galaxies were selected from the FORS Deep Field with a limiting magnitude of R=23. Spatially resolved rotation curves were derived from spectra obtained with FORS2 at the VLT. High-mass galaxies with v_max>=150 km/s show little evolution, whereas the least massive systems in our sample are brighter by about 1-2 mag compared to their local counterparts. For the entire distant sample, the TFR slope is flatter than for local field galaxies (-5.77+-0.45 versus -7.92+-0.18). Thus, we find evidence for evolution of the slope of the TFR with redshift on the 3-sigma level. This is still true when we subdivide the sample into three redshift bins. We speculate that the flatter tilt of our sample is caused by the evolution of luminosities and an additional population of blue galaxies at z>=0.2. The mass dependence of the TFR evolution also leads to variations for different galaxy types in magnitude-limited samples, suggesting that selection effects can account for the discrepant results of previous TFR studies on the luminosity evolution of late-type galaxies.

description: We perform direct numerical simulations of wall sheared Rayleigh-Bénard (RB) convection for Rayleigh numbers up to $Ra=10^8$, Prandtl number unity, and wall shear Reynolds numbers up to $Re_w=10000$. Using the Monin-Obukhov length $L_{MO}$ we identify three different flow states, a buoyancy dominated regime ($L_{MO} \lesssim λ_θ$; with $λ_θ$ the thermal boundary layer thickness), a transitional regime ($0.5H \gtrsim L_{MO} \gtrsim λ_θ$; with $H$ the height of the domain), and a shear dominated regime ($L_{MO} \gtrsim 0.5H$). In the buoyancy dominated regime the flow dynamics are similar to that of turbulent thermal convection. The transitional regime is characterized by rolls that are increasingly elongated with increasing shear. The flow in the shear dominated regime consists of very large-scale meandering rolls, similar to the ones found in conventional Couette flow. As a consequence of these different flow regimes, for fixed $Ra$ and with increasing shear, the heat transfer first decreases, due to the breakup of the thermal rolls, and then increases at the beginning of the shear dominated regime. For $L_{MO} \gtrsim 0.5H$ the Nusselt number $Nu$ effectively scales as $Nu \sim Ra^α$, with $α\ll 1/3$ while we find $α\simeq 0.31$ in the buoyancy dominated regime. In the transitional regime the effective scaling exponent is $α> 1/3$, but the temperature and velocity profiles in this regime are not logarithmic yet, thus indicating transient dynamics and not the ultimate regime of thermal convection.

The aims were to determinethe frequency distribution and predominant finger-ball pattern; to findout a variation between males and females; and to find out variationbetween different populations on the basis of dermatoglyphic indices.The frequency distribution is found to be in order: Loops>Whorls>Arches.No significant gender difference was observed between males and femalesin terms of finger-ball patterns. The Gender difference cannot be estimatedthrough finger-ball pattern in the studied population.Highly significant(p<0.00001) difference on the basis of various dermatoglyphics patternindices is observed among different populations of the same geographicallocation (western India).

description: In a previous work Lazarian and Pogosyan suggested a technique to extract velocity and density statistics, of interstellar turbulence, by means of analysing statistics of spectral line data cubes. In this paper we test that technique, by studying the effect of correlation between velocity and density fields, providing a systematic analysis of the uncertainties arising from the numerics, and exploring the effect of a linear shear. We make use of both compressible MHD simulations and synthetic data to emulate spectroscopic observations and test the technique. With the same synthetic spectroscopic data, we also studied anisotropies of the two point statistics and related those anisotropies with the magnetic field direction. This presents a new technique for magnetic field studies. The results show that the velocity and density spectral indices measured are consistent with the analytical predictions. We identified the dominant source of error with the limited number of data points along a given line of sight. We decrease this type of noise by increasing the number of points and by introducing Gaussian smoothing. We argue that in real observations the number of emitting elements is essentially infinite and that source of noise vanishes.

The information theory-based tests mildly prefer a constant background over a sinusoidal signal with the same period as that found by the DAMA collaboration. The Bayesian test however strongly prefers a background model. This is the first proof of principles demonstration of application of Bayesian and information theory based techniques to COSINE-100 data to assess the significance of annual modulation.

description: We investigate the rms peculiar velocity of galaxy clusters in the Lambda cold dark matter ($Λ$CDM) and tau cold dark matter ($τ$CDM) cosmological models using N-body simulations. Cluster velocities for different cluster masses and radii are examined. To identify clusters in the simulations we use two methods: the standard friends-of-friends (FOF) method and the method, where the clusters are defined as the maxima of the density field smoothed on the scale $R\sim 1h^{-1}$ Mpc (DENSMAX). If we use the DENSMAX method, the size of the selected clusters is similar for all clusters. We find that the rms velocity of clusters defined with the DENSMAX method is almost independent of the cluster density and similar to the linear theory expectations. The rms velocity of FOF clusters decreases with the cluster mass and radius. In the $Λ$CDM model, the rms peculiar velocity of massive clusters with an intercluster separation $d_{cl}=50h^{-1}$ Mpc is $\approx$15% smaller than the rms velocity of the clusters with a separation $d_{cl}=10h^{-1}$Mpc.

description: Menarche is defined as the onset of reproductive capacityin females with reference to pubertal growth anddevelopment. The age at menarche is associated withseveral factors including CVDs. CVDs occur amongwomen because of improper dietary habits and lifestyle.The present study is focused on the risk of development ofCVDs among Bhil women of Rajasthan. A cross-sectionalstudy was conducted, which includes somatometric(anthropometric) data and blood samples from 277women of age group 25 to 75 years. The women weredivided into three sub categories (early, normal and late)based on their mean age at menarche. The cardiometabolicrisk factors were compared among thesedifferent groups with the help of SPSS version 25.0. Themean age at menarche of the present population was13.8±1.3 years, which is close to the normal range forIndian population. General obesity was found to beassociated with normal menarcheal group whereas,hypertension was associated with late menarcheal group.The risk of development of CVDs is greater with lateAAM and least with early AAM. The late AAM can beconsidered as a determinant of cardiovascular disorders inthe present population. A secular decline in AAM can beattributed to socio-economic growth, demographictransition and climate.

description: We present a family of designer Horndeski models, i.e. models that have a background exactly equal to that of the $Λ$CDM model but perturbations given by the Horndeski theory. Then, we extend the effective fluid approach to Horndeski theories, providing simple analytic formulae for the equivalent dark energy effective fluid pressure, density and velocity. We implement the dark energy effective fluid formulae in our code EFCLASS, a modified version of the widely used Boltzmann solver CLASS, and compare the solution of the perturbation equations with those of the code hi_CLASS which already includes Horndeski models. We find that our simple modifications to the vanilla code are accurate to the level of $\sim 0.1\%$ with respect to the more complicated hi_CLASS code. Furthermore, we study the kinetic braiding model both on and off the attractor and we find that even though the full case has a proper $Λ$CDM model limit for large $n$, it is not appropriately smooth, thus causing the quasistatic approximation to break down. Finally, we focus on our designer model (HDES), which has both a smooth $Λ$CDM limit and well-behaved perturbations, and we use it to perform Markov Chain Monte Carlo analyses to constrain its parameters with the latest cosmological data. We find that our HDES model can also alleviate the soft $2σ$ tension between the growth data and Planck 18 due to a degeneracy between $σ_8$ and one of its model parameters that indicates the deviation from the $Λ$CDM model.

description: We investigate the evolution of the universal rest-frame ultraviolet luminosity density from z = 1.5 to the present. We analyze an extensive sample of multicolor data (U', B, V = 24.5) plus spectroscopic redshifts from the Hawaii Survey Fields and the Hubble Deep Field. Our multicolor data allow us to select our sample in the rest-frame ultraviolet (2500 angstrom) over the entire redshift range to z = 1.5. We conclude that the evolution in the luminosity density is a function of the form (1+z)^{1.7\pm1.0} for a flat lambda cosmology and (1+z)^{2.4\pm1.0} for an Einstein-de Sitter cosmology.

Creating a Quasi-Federal Judicial System of the European Communities
Creators: name: Komárek, Jan
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2006

description: The Court of Justice's role is inherently difficult: it must ensure that when the Treaty is interpreted and applied, the law is observed. However, it was not given necessary powers to ensure this objective without reading the Treaty with a great deal of imagination, thus opening itself to the consequent accusation of inappropriate judicial activism. Judgments delivered by the Court in Kobler, Kuhne & Heitz and Commission v. Italy represent this creativity. One possible way of reading Kobler is to see the referral sent in the context of the claim of liability for a judicial breach as a special kind of an appellate procedure whereby the questions of Community law, improperly treated by the national court the judgment of which gave rise to the liability action, may eventually reach the Court of Justice on the second attempt. Kobler moreover confirmed the Court's endeavours to strengthen the authority of its judgments by imposing a sanction for the failure to follow them. Both these outcomes of Kobler may be seen as elements of the federal nature of the Court of Justice's jurisdiction, showing that this court acts as a true Supreme Court of the Community. Kuhne & Heitz complement this quasi-federal judicial system. It motivates individuals to use the procedural paths given by Kobler and therefore bring to the Court of Justice questions of Community law otherwise locked within national legal orders. Lastly, Commission v. Italy closes the circle and shows the ambiguity of the Court's position: it strives to establish greater authority for itself within the Community judiciary; at the same time it still needs national courts as its partners, not inferiors. Community law has become a part of the national laws of all Member States and the boundary between these two systems have become more invisible than at the time of the Communities' establishment more than fifty years ago. First critique of the system having been created by the Court focuses on some shortcomings of the Court of Justice's reasoning, which undermine its persuasiveness and prospective acceptance by national courts, since then Court did not take concerns of national legal orders seriously. The approach called 'judicial deliberative supranationalism' is then proposed for enhancing cooperation between different levels of Community judiciary. Another problem of the presented judgments lies in a fact that the Court of Justice failed to reformulate the duty of national courts to refer questions of Community law, set by the so called CILFIT test. Having not done this, the effectiveness of the presented judgments' federal elements is seriously undermined. It also allows the Court to take arbitrary decisions on national courts' failures. Since the judicial system is still developing, it is for the future to show, whether the Court succeeded in its creativity and whether national courts accepted it.

description: We explore the application of computer vision and machine learning (ML) techniques to predict material properties (e.g. compressive strength) based on SEM images. We show that it's possible to train ML models to predict materials performance based on SEM images alone, demonstrating this capability on the real-world problem of predicting uniaxially compressed peak stress of consolidated molecular solids samples. Our image-based ML approach reduces mean absolute percent error (MAPE) by an average of 24% over baselines representative of the current state-of-the-practice (i.e., domain-expert's analysis and correlation). We compared two complementary approaches to this problem: (1) a traditional ML approach, random forest (RF), using state-of-the-art computer vision features and (2) an end-to-end deep learning (DL) approach, where features are learned automatically from raw images. We demonstrate the complementarity of these approaches, showing that RF performs best in the "small data" regime in which many real-world scientific applications reside (up to 24% lower RMSE than DL), whereas DL outpaces RF in the "big data" regime, where abundant training samples are available (up to 24% lower RMSE than RF). Finally, we demonstrate that models trained using machine learning techniques are capable of discovering and utilizing informative crystal attributes previously underutilized by domain experts.

description: HCG 54 has been classified as a compact galaxy group by Hickson, but its nature is uncertain because of its unusual properties. We present here a study of HCG~54 based on deep optical images and spectroscopy as well as high spatial and spectral resolution HI observations obtained at the VLA. Both optical and radio data indicate clearly that HCG~54 is a product of a recent merger involving at least two galaxies. Our optical images have revealed a blue elongated structure associated with HCG 54a embedded in a rounder and redder stellar envelope. Several ripples or shells whose center is located near HCG 54a and b are also detected. These observed features are similar to those found in the numerical simulations of tidal interactions involving two equal mass disk galaxies. This system is embedded in an HI cloud 12 kpc in diameter, and a 20 kpc HI tidal tail emerges from its western edge. Both the HI distribution and kinematics are consistent with a recent history of a deeply penetrating interaction or a merger. Based on the analysis of our new data we propose that HCG 54 is the remnant of a merger in an advanced stage, whose main body is what has been called HCG 54a, while HCG 54b marks the location of a strong starburst induced by the interaction, as evidenced by the Wolf Rayet stellar population that we detect. Optical spectra of HCG 54c and d show HII region features and are interpreted as tidal debris of the collision undergoing active star formation.
