On the nature of the radial orbit instability in spherically symmetric collisionless stellar systems

description: We consider a two-parametric family of radially anisotropic models with non-singular density distribution in the centre. If highly eccentric orbits are locked near the centre, the characteristic growth rate of the instability is much less than the Jeans and dynamic frequencies of the stars (slow modes). The instability occurs only for even spherical harmonics and the perturbations are purely growing (aperiodic). On the contrary, if all orbits nearly reach the outer radius of the sphere, both even and odd harmonics are unstable. Unstable odd modes oscillate having characteristic frequencies of the order of the dynamical frequencies (fast modes). Unstable even harmonics contain a single aperiodic mode and several oscillatory modes, the aperiodic mode being the most unstable. The question of the nature of the radial orbit instability (ROI) is revisited. Two main interpretations of ROI were suggested in the literature. The first one refers to the classical Jeans instability associated with the lack of velocity dispersion of stars in the transverse direction. The second one refers to Lynden-Bell's orbital approach to bar formation in disc galaxies, which implies slowness and bi-symmetry of the perturbation. Oscillatory modes, odd spherical harmonics modes, and non-slow modes found in one of the models show that the orbital interpretation is not the only possible.

description: Scientists mapped the seismic time series into networks by considering the geographical location of events as nodes and establishing links between the nodes with different rules. Applying the successive defined laws to construct the networks of seismic data, a variety of features of earthquake networks are detected (scale-free and small-world structures). Network construction models had changed in detail to optimize the performance of the verification of the minimum geographical size defined for the node. In all the studies, people try to use large data sets like years of data to ensure their results are good enough. In this work, by proposing the temporal network construction and employing the small-worldness property for data from Iran and California, we could achieve the minimum time scale needed for the best results. We verified the importance of this scale by analyzing two significant centrality measures (degree centrality and PageRank) introduced in the concept of earthquake network.

description: Dieser Beitrag zeigt am Beispiel der Klagewelle von Mitarbeiterinnen gegen die Biedronka-Supermärkte 2004 bis 2007 auf, wie sich eine marginalisierte Gruppe von Arbeitnehmerinnen Gehör verschafft hat, obwohl die politischen, rechtlichen und diskursiven Gelegenheitsstrukturen dafür ungünstig erschienen. Die Ergebnisse des Forschungsprojekts machen deutlich, dass mehrere Bedingungen für strategische Prozessführung in diesem Fall zusammentrafen: entschlossene Klägerinnen, klare Fälle, eine für die Klägerinnen kostenlose, gute juristische Vertretung so wie ein sehr breites Medienecho, das die eklatanten Arbeitsrechtsverletzungen erfolgreich skandalisierte. Die Klägerinnen kämpften für ihre praktischen Gender-Interessen, also um Interessen, die sich aus der bestehenden geschlechtsspeziﬁschen Arbeitsteilung ergeben und die etablierte Vorstellungen von Geschlecht kaum infrage stellen. Umfassendere politische Gelegenheitsstrukturen lassen sich allerdings nicht durch eine einmalige Klagewelle verändern, und so blieben die politischen Konsequenzen eher gering.

Publisher: name: Journal of Additive Manufacturing Technologies
Year: 2023

description: Heat pipe embedded/integrated cold plates are mostly preferred to increase the thermal conductivity of the base material to have passive thermal management in reliable products. Thanks to Additive Manufacturing (AM) Technology, it became possible to find a high conductive product by simultaneously manufacturing the heat pipe in the cold plate. In this study, the heat pipe embedded cold plate design of an electronic chassis designed for a military product has been investigated in detail. Performing this study, it is seen that there are many outstanding advantages of using AM technology compared to the conventional heat pipe embedding techniques. Thermal analysis of a 6U size cold plate with a high thermal load is performed for aluminum & copper base material and groove type heat pipe embedded aluminum cold plate (HPECP). After that, the manufacturing constraints of both techniques are compared and outstanding design capabilities with AM technology are discussed in detail. It is seen that by using AM technology, it is possible to have a lighter cold plate with improved thermal conductivity in one piece and even lower cost.

Utilising Gagne’s nine events of instruction in teaching suturing skills for foundation doctors
Creators: name: Dela Cruz, Ken

Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: 110323 Surgery
subject: FOS: Clinical medicine

description: United Kingdom (UK) medical graduates are expected to have attained basic suturing skill before starting as foundation doctors, yet most lack the confidence in performing this. Manning and colleagues suggested that medical students view suturing on real patients as a stressor which is rooted in their dearth of experience and performing an unfamiliar procedure in a high-stress environment like the hospital. This is unsurprising if you look at the fact that only one-fourth of British medical schools have basic suturing integrated in their curriculum. This will have implications on their ability to perform suturing when they start the Foundation Programme (FP) which is required before proceeding to specialty training. Introducing such learning sessions at the start of the FP is vital for them to gain suturing confidence. This article provides a framework in delivering basic suturing teaching activity based on Gagne’s Nine Events of Instructions.

description: Additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing (TDP) will be the next-generation manufacturing process replacing the traditional manufacturing process. A tiny toy to a rocket part is being manufactured by the AM. Depending on the condition of use, environment, installation, vibration, fatigue, and types of motion such as static or dynamic, material properties might change day by day. Special attention is necessary for selecting and monitoring these objects or parts for human safety. Consistent and scheduled monitoring of the 3D structure is required to show the future manufacturing process and avoid such casualties. As the demand to produce AM items has been increasing exponentially, monitoring the structural health must be taken into consideration for the safety of the users. Structural health monitoring (SHM) utilizes several non-destructive techniques and methods to detect and monitor the structure. Acoustic Emission (AE) is a great way to see the crack formation of the modern structural health monitoring (SHM) system. This study mainly focused on two topics, AM and AE. Considering AM, a brief 3D printing history and types have been discussed. Also, this study connects a novel kind of review AE and AM, as per the information from different search engines.

There are no specific biological treatments for FASDs, but rodent models have shown that prenatal or postnatal choline supplementation reduces cognitive and behavioral deficits. Potential mechanisms include phospholipid production for axonal growth and myelination, acetylcholine enhancement, and epigenetic effects.

description: Quality traits and nutraceutical potential of new de-pigmented peaches ("Ghiaccio") were investigated and compared with those of four white flesh peaches. Total soluble solids (TSS) were measured by digital refractometer, and titratable acidity (TA) by volumetric titration. Total phenolic (TPC) and anthocyanin content (TAC) were analysed spectrophotometrically and the antioxidant capacity (AC) evaluated by DPPH· assay. A strong influence of genotype on quality traits and phytochemical profile of "Ghiaccio" peaches was observed. "Ghiaccio" series showed, on average, a higher TPC content than that of white flesh peaches, both in flesh and peels (+129% and +14%, respectively). The peels of all peaches analysed were significantly richer in TPC than the flesh. TAC was not detectable in de-pigmented genotypes; on the contrary, in the white flesh peaches, it was higher in the peels than in the flesh. AC correlated well with TPC. Data confirm, for all peaches analysed, the influence of genotype and fruit tissue on the nutraceutical properties. Among genotypes, the best candidates for "Ghiaccio" peaches with enriched nutraceutical properties are the advanced selections GØ and GX. Observed differences in the nutraceutical potential among "Ghiaccio" series may open new opportunities for breeding de-pigmented peach varieties with a higher nutritional value.

description: We present an exploratory study that suggests that Efimov physics, a leading research theme in few-body quantum physics, can also induce stable many-body ground states whose building blocks are universal clusters. We identify a range of parameters in a mass-and-density imbalanced two-species fermionic mixture for which the ground state is a gas of Efimov-related universal trimers. An explicit calculation of the trimer-trimer interaction reveals that the trimer phase is an SU$(3)$ Fermi liquid stable against recombination losses. We propose to experimentally observe this phase in a fermionic $^6$Li-$^{53}$Cr mixture.

Year: 2023

description: In this study, electromagnetic characterization of 3D printed metamaterials manufactured by using conductive paint is carried out in terms of their absorption behavior. The samples have been prepared in sizes to fit waveguide setup in the frequency range of 12-18 GHz. 3D printing technique was used to prepare the substrate of the design while conductive paint and copper tape were used for the conductive parts of the structure including the metamaterial resonator and the ground plane. For electromagnetic characterization of the design, different thickness of substrate layers, various raster orientation (0°, ±45° and ±90°), different infill densities have been simulated and experimentally tested in terms of their effects on absorption behavior. In addition, conductivity of the paint was improved by adjusting its formulation and the resulting absorption behaviors have been compared with copper tape using the same metamaterial dimensions. Using 3D printing technology along with conductive paint rather than solid conductors in manufacturing electromagnetic absorbers will provide the possibility of producing flexible and non-planar electromagnetic absorber structures in desired frequency ranges. The design can be easily adopted to different frequencies and this technique can be used to design wideband metamaterial absorbers using 3D layered structures.

description: We present images and a multi-wavelength photometric catalog based on all of the JWST NIRCam observations obtained to date in the region of the Abell 2744 galaxy cluster. These data come from three different programs, namely the GLASS-JWST Early Release Science Program, UNCOVER, and Director's Discretionary Time program 2756. The observed area in the NIRCam wide-band filters - covering the central and extended regions of the cluster, as well as new parallel fields - is 46.5 arcmin$^2$ in total. All images in eight bands (F090W, F115W, F150W, F200W, F277W, F356W, F410M, F444W) have been reduced adopting the latest calibration and reference files available. Data reduction has been performed using an augmented version of the official JWST pipeline, with improvements aimed at removing or mitigating defects in the raw images and improving the background subtraction and photometric accuracy. We obtain a F444W-detected multi-band catalog, including all NIRCam and available HST data, adopting forced aperture photometry on PSF-matched images. The catalog is intended to enable early scientific investigations and is optimized for the study of faint galaxies; it contains 24389 sources, with a 5$σ$ limiting magnitude in the F444W band ranging from 28.5 AB to 30.5 AB, as a result of the varying exposure times of the surveys that observed the field. We publicly release the reduced NIRCam images, associated multi-wavelength catalog and code adopted for $1/f$ noise removal with the aim of aiding users to familiarize themselves with JWST NIRCam data and identify suitable targets for follow-up observations.

On compatibility between isogenies and polarisations of abelian varieties

description: We discuss the notion of polarised isogenies of abelian varieties, that is, isogenies which are compatible with given principal polarisations. This is motivated by problems of unlikely intersections in Shimura varieties. Our aim is to show that certain questions about polarised isogenies can be reduced to questions about unpolarised isogenies or vice versa. Our main theorem concerns abelian varieties B which are isogenous to a fixed abelian variety A. It establishes the existence of a polarised isogeny A to B whose degree is polynomially bounded in n, if there exist both an unpolarised isogeny A to B of degree n and a polarised isogeny A to B of unknown degree. As a further result, we prove that given any two principally polarised abelian varieties related by an unpolarised isogeny, there exists a polarised isogeny between their fourth powers. The proofs of both theorems involve calculations in the endomorphism algebras of the abelian varieties, using the Albert classification of these endomorphism algebras and the classification of Hermitian forms over division algebras.

description: We present the twisted covariant form hierarchies (TCFHs) of warped (massive) IIA AdS backgrounds. As a consequence we demonstrate that all Killing spinor form bilinears satisfy a generalisation of the conformal Killing-Yano equation with respect to the TCFH connections. We also explore some of the properties of TCFHs which include the reduced holonomy of the minimal TCFH connections for generic backgrounds. Furthermore, we investigate the interplay between TCFHs and hidden symmetries of probes propagating on IIA AdS backgrounds. We find that some of the Killing spinor form bilinears of near horizon geometries of a class of IIA intersecting brane configurations are Killing-Yano forms and so generate hidden symmetries for spinning particle probes.

Level-2 large deviation principle for countable Markov shifts without Gibbs states

description: We consider level-2 large deviations for the one-sided countable full shift without assuming the existence of Bowen's Gibbs state. To deal with non-compact closed sets, we provide a sufficient condition in terms of inducing which ensures the exponential tightness of a sequence of Borel probability measures constructed from periodic configurations. Under this condition we establish the level-2 Large Deviation Principle. We apply our results to the continued fraction expansion of real numbers in $[0,1)$ generated by the Rényi map, and obtain the level-2 Large Deviation Principle, as well as a weighted equidistribution of a set of quadratic irrationals to equilibrium states of the Rényi map.

The Impact of Neural Noise and Expectations on Visual Hallucinations in the Context of Signal Detection Theory and Bayesian Inference
Creators: name: Gotsis, Stephanie
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2023

description: Visual hallucinations are perceptions that occur in the absence of a corresponding physical, external, stimulus. While commonly associated with psychotic disorders, like schizophrenia, visual hallucinations also manifest across the healthy population. This suggests that visual hallucinations are not simply the product of a clinical deficit, but rather, they are likely to derive from normal brain functions. As it stands, signal detection theory (SDT) and Bayesian inference (BI) are two leading psychological models that provide distinct perspectives as to how bottom-up processing (e.g., sensory signal) and top-down processing (e.g., cognitive mechanisms, expectations, and prior knowledge) contribute to perception, and hallucination development. SDT posits that expectations do not influence sensory processing, but instead affect cognitive and decisional mechanisms (i.e., top-down processes) that impact behavioural decision strategies. Alternatively, BI models suggest that expectations interact with sensory processing to affect perception under circumstances of poor sensory precision. Notably, the quality of our sensory processing can be affected by various normal intrinsic mechanisms in the healthy brain. Neural noise is a one neurobiological characteristic that is able to reduce the quality of sensory processing. There is a wealth of research highlighting the co-occurrence of neural noise and visual hallucinations across various contexts and populations. Therefore, it may be a strong candidate mechanism to more specifically explain how visual hallucinations arise in healthy and clinical populations. However, given the limited techniques with a demonstrated capacity to safely increase neural noise in the human brain, there is little evidence to suggest a direct causal role in the development of hallucinations. Although, transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS) is an emerging, non-invasive, electrical brain stimulation technique that may allow us modulate neural noise in humans. The current thesis therefore aims to extend on research investigating the mechanistic effects of tRNS to explore whether it can be used to safely increase neural noise in the healthy brain. Subsequently, we aimed to apply tRNS to more directly explore the causal role of neural noise in the development of visual hallucinations in the context expectations under SDT and BI theoretical models.

description: Many particle dark matter models predict that the dark matter undergoes cascade annihilations, i.e. the annihilation products are 4-body final states. In the context of model-independent cascade annihilation models, we study the compatibility of the dark matter interpretation of the Fermi- LAT Galactic center gamma-ray emission with null detections from dwarf spheroidal galaxies. For canonical values of the Milky Way density profile and the local dark matter density, we find that the dark matter interpretation to the Galactic center emission is strongly constrained. However, uncertainties in the dark matter distribution weaken the constraints and leave open dark matter interpretations over a wide range of mass scales.

description: Spatially extended aggregates of dopants are ubiquitous in a plethora of granular superconductors, forming a droplet network that is very important to their characterization and to the description of their superconducting properties. At the same time, one of the most studied classes of superconducting materials are the high-temperature superconductors, where special attention is given to the hole-doped cuprates, where the carrier concentration is controlled by the amount of interstitial oxygen dopants. In this context, the formation of spatially inhomogeneous aggregates of interstitial oxygen atoms, in the form of nanosized superpuddles, is not only relevant, but also a subject of intense recent experimental and theoretical surveys. Following these efforts, in this work we investigate the consequences of the presence of networks of inhomogeneously distributed dopant superpuddles on the superconducting state. Starting from the inhomogeneous extended disordered background brought by the network of superpuddles, we demonstrate, with the aid of an effective interaction between electrons mediated by the local vibrational degrees of freedom of each puddle, that the Cooper pairs arising from an attractive interaction in an inhomogeneous medium have a finite center-of-mass momentum, $\mathbf{p}$, that breaks up the Cooper channel. Furthermore, we derive an analytical expression for the amplitude of the superconducting gap, $Δ_{\mathbf{k}}$, in terms of disorder and finite center-of-mass momentum and show that amplitude fluctuations are induced in the superconducting state by the presence of the superpuddles, where both the gap and the critical temperature are reduced by disorder and finite momentum pairs. Finally, we discuss our findings in the context of synchronized networks of superconducting oxygen nano-puddles in cuprates and in other granular superconducting systems.

description: Superconducting spintronics has emerged in the last decade as a promising new field that seeks to open a new dimension for nanoelectronics by utilizing the internal spin structure of the superconducting Cooper pair as a new degree of freedom. Its basic building blocks are spin-triplet Cooper pairs with equally aligned spins, which are promoted by proximity of a conventional superconductor to a ferromagnetic material with inhomogeneous macroscopic magnetization. Using low-energy muon spin rotation experiments, we find an entirely unexpected novel effect: the appearance of a magnetization in a thin layer of a non-magnetic metal (gold), separated from a ferromagnetic double layer by a 50 nm thick superconducting layer of Nb. The effect can be controlled by either temperature or by using a magnetic field to control the state of the remote ferromagnetic elements and may act as a basic building block for a new generation of quantum interference devices based on the spin of a Cooper pair.

description: We revisit the construction of maximal initial data on compact manifolds in vacuum with positive cosmological constant via the conformal method. We discuss, extend and apply recent results of Hebey et al. [19] and Premoselli [31] which yield existence, non-existence, (non-)uniqueness and (linearisation-) stability of solutions of the Lichnerowicz equation, depending on its coefficients. We then focus on so-called $(t,φ)$-symmetric data as "seed manifolds", and in particular on Bowen-York data on the round hypertorus $\mathbb{S}^2 \times \mathbb{S}$ (a slice of Nariai) and on Kerr-deSitter. In the former case, we clarify the bifurcation structure of the axially symmetric solutions of the Lichnerowicz equation in terms of the angular momentum as bifurcation parameter, using a combination of analytical and numerical techniques. As to the latter example, we show how dynamical data can be constructed in a natural way via conformal rescalings of Kerr-deSitter data.

description: Background: Elevated concentrations of serum uric acid are associated with increased risk of gout and renal and cardiovascular diseases. Genetic studies in adults have consistently identified associations of solute carrier family 2, member 9 (SLC2A9), polymorphisms with variation in serum uric acid. However, it is not known whether the association of serum uric acid with SLC2A9 polymorphisms manifests in children.

description: We present a stationary spherically symmetric solution of the Einstein equations, with a source generated by a scalar field of $q$-theory. In this theory Riemannian gravity, as described by the Einstein - Hilbert action, is coupled to a three - form field that describes the dynamical vacuum. Formally it behaves like a matter field with its own stress - energy tensor, equivalent to a scalar field minimally coupled to gravity. The asymptotically flat solutions obtained to the field equations represent black holes. For a sufficiently large horizon radius the energy density is localized within a thin spherical shell situated just outside of the horizon, analogous to a gravastar. The resulting solutions to the field equations, which admit this class of configurations, satisfy existence conditions that stem from the Black Hole no - hair theorem, thanks to the presence of a region in space in which the energy density is negative.

Maternal Employability, Conditionality and the role of Family Services in the Australian Social Security System
Creators: name: Evenstar, Tess
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2023

description: There has been an international shift in social security system approaches towards mothers from being one of supporting mothers during their time of raising children, to viewing mothers as adult workers who are expected to engage in the paid workforce. While traditionally directed towards the unemployed, labour market activation policies and conditions on social security payment receipt which aim to increase employability are now being targeted to parents of young children. The emphasis on employability and paid participation in the labour market is also influencing the Australian government's policy direction towards family services, such as parenting programs and playgroups. Family services are now an element of labour market activation policy for parents and participation in such services is compulsory for some mothers to receive their social security payments.
