description: We recall the form factors $ f^{(j)}_{N,N}$ corresponding to the $λ$-extension $C(N,N; λ)$ of the two-point diagonal correlation function of the Ising model on the square lattice and their associated linear differential equations which exhibit both a ``Russian-doll'' nesting, and a decomposition of the linear differential operators as a direct sum of operators (equivalent to symmetric powers of the differential operator of the complete elliptic integral $E$). The scaling limit of these differential operators breaks the direct sum structure but not the ``Russian doll'' structure, the ``scaled'' linear differential operators being no longer Fuchsian. We then introduce some multiple integrals of the Ising class expected to have the same singularities as the singularities of the $n$-particle contributions $χ^{(n)}$ to the susceptibility of the square lattice Ising model. We find the Fuchsian linear differential equations satisfied by these multiple integrals for $n=1,2,3,4$ and, only modulo a prime, for $n=5$ and 6, thus providing a large set of (possible) new singularities of the $χ^{(n)}$. ...

description: Trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) are remnants of a collisionally and dynamically evolved planetesimal disk in the outer solar system. This complex structure, known as the trans-Neptunian belt (or Edgeworth-Kuiper belt), can reveal important clues about disk properties, planet formation, and other evolutionary processes. In contrast to the predictions of accretion theory, TNOs exhibit surprisingly large eccentricities, e, and inclinations, i, which can be grouped into distinct dynamical classes. Several models have addressed the origin and orbital evolution of TNOs, but none have reproduced detailed observations, e.g., all dynamical classes and peculiar objects, or provided insightful predictions. Based on extensive simulations of planetesimal disks with the presence of the four giant planets and massive planetesimals, we propose that the orbital history of an outer planet with tenths of Earth's mass can explain the trans-Neptunian belt orbital structure. This massive body was likely scattered by one of the giant planets, which then stirred the primordial planetesimal disk to the levels observed at 40-50 AU and truncated it at about 48 AU before planet migration. The outer planet later acquired an inclined stable orbit (>100 AU; 20-40 deg) because of a resonant interaction with Neptune (an r:1 or r:2 resonance possibly coupled with the Kozai mechanism), guaranteeing the stability of the trans-Neptunian belt. Our model consistently reproduces the main features of each dynamical class with unprecedented detail; it also satisfies other constraints such as the current small total mass of the trans-Neptunian belt and Neptune's current orbit at 30.1 AU. We also provide observationally testable predictions.

description: The effective potential energy of the particles in the field of rotating uniformly magnetized celestial body is investigated. The axis of rotation coincides with the axis of the magnetic field. Electromagnetic field of the body is composed of a dipole magnetic and quadrupole electric fields. The geometry of the trapping regions is studied as a function of the magnetic field magnitude and the rotation speed of the body. Examples of the potential energy topology for different values of these parameters are given. The main difference from the classical Størmer problem is that the single toroidal trapping region predicted by Størmer is divided into equatorial and off-equatorial trapping regions. Applicability of the idealized model of a rotating uniformly magnetized sphere with a vacuum magnetosphere to real celestial bodies is discussed.

description: One of the most promising routes towards fault-tolerant quantum computation utilizes topological quantum error correcting codes, such as the $\mathbb{Z}_2$ surface code. Logical qubits can be encoded in a variety of ways in the surface code, based on either boundary defects, holes, or bulk twist defects. However proposed fault-tolerant implementations of the Clifford group in these schemes are limited and often require unnecessary overhead. For example, the Clifford phase gate in certain planar and hole encodings has been proposed to be implemented using costly state injection and distillation protocols. In this paper, we show that within any encoding scheme for the logical qubits, we can fault-tolerantly implement the full Clifford group by using joint measurements involving a single appropriately encoded logical ancilla. This allows us to provide new low overhead implementations of the full Clifford group in surface and color codes. It also provides the first proposed implementations of the full Clifford group in hyperbolic codes. We further use our methods to propose state-of-the art encoding schemes for small numbers of logical qubits; for example, for code distances $d = 3,5,7$, we propose a scheme using $60, 160, 308$ (respectively) physical data qubits, which allow for the full logical Clifford group to be implemented on two logical qubits. To our knowledge, this is the optimal proposal to date, and thus may be useful for demonstration of fault-tolerant logical gates in small near-term quantum computers.

description: “Sensation novels,” a kind of novel characterized by scandal and mystery, emerged in the 1860s to entertain and shock Victorian audiences. In many cases, the novels contain incidents of murder or theft that must be solved and dealt with throughout the novel, and in other cases, the shocking acts are more concerned with actions or behaviors of certain main characters, including deception and adultery. While these crimes and transgressions are often found in a sensation novel, the question of what defines the term “sensation novel” itself remains only vaguely answered. It is unclear when the term “sensation novel” was first applied, as sources differ in this, but it seems that the genre existed mostly between 1860‐1880.1 Ellen Wood was one of the best‐known novelists in this genre in her day, but she was by no means the only writer of sensation novels. Others, including Wilkie Collins (The Woman in White, 1859), Mary Elizabeth Braddon (Lady Audley’s Secret, 1862), Charles Reade (Griffith Gaunt, 1866), also wrote primarily in this genre, and other wellknown writers from the nineteenth century, like Dickens, dabbled in what came to be known as sensation fiction, especially in the unfinished The Mystery of Edwin Drood [1870]. In the early 1860s, critics generally dismissed and condemned them, though by 1864, the term appears to have been widely used and understood by critics and audiences alike.2 Neglected after the 1880s, “sensation novels” have been gradually recovered by literary and cultural critics over the past 30 years.

description: The accelerated exploration of the materials space in order to identify configurations with optimal properties is an ongoing challenge. Current paradigms are typically centered around the idea of performing this exploration through high-throughput experimentation/computation. Such approaches, however, do not account fo the always present constraints in resources available. Recently, this problem has been addressed by framing materials discovery as an optimal experiment design. This work augments earlier efforts by putting forward a framework that efficiently explores the materials design space not only accounting for resource constraints but also incorporating the notion of model uncertainty. The resulting approach combines Bayesian Model Averaging within Bayesian Optimization in order to realize a system capable of autonomously and adaptively learning not only the most promising regions in the materials space but also the models that most efficiently guide such exploration. The framework is demonstrated by efficiently exploring the MAX ternary carbide/nitride space through Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations.
Semi-Automated Collection of Pitch Location and Intent in Baseball

Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University

Subjects: subject: Statistics

description: An analysis of the pitcher's intent in baseball should ideally depend upon information given by the catcher before the pitch is thrown. Expert judgment has already identified the importance of this factor (e.g. the pitcher is "missing his spots" when unsuccessful in hitting the target). We describe the underpinnings of a automated video analysis system that uses semi-supervised learning methods to identify the catcher position - specifically, the catcher's glove position. The analysis begins with video of a single pitch, supervised by a human controller; this information is then incorporated into one of a selection of learning algorithms and applied to subsequent pitches with minimal involvement from the controller. This is designed to be the first step in creating a public database of pitch intent, to be coupled with existing sources of pitch physics, so that analysts may better evaluate pitcher performance.

description: We discuss the viability of $gb \to tH \to ttb$ charged-Higgs signals at the proposed LHC $pp$ supercollider, in the decay channel $tt \to (bq \bar q')(b \ell ν)$. Here one top quark decays hadronically and one semileptonically, with all three $b$-quarks giving flavor-tagged jets. The principal backgrounds come from $ttg,ttq,ttc$ and $ttb$ continuum production, with possible mis-tagging of $g,q$ and $c$. We conclude that significant signals can be separated from these backgrounds, for limited but interesting ranges of the parameters $m_{H\pm}$ and $\tanβ$, with the LHC energy and luminosity.

description: The present study sought to extend findings of an “embeddedness constraint” on statistical learning in the visual domain (Fiser & Aslin, 2005) to the auditory domain. In this set of experiments, we explored the possible manifestations of an embeddedness constraint on speech and tone sequences in studies with adult and infant participants. An embeddedness constraint operant in the linguistic domain could benefit learners by helping them to circumvent the “combinatorial explosion” that arises from large amounts of complex data. This constraint could also prove useful in language acquisition tasks, such as word segmentation, allowing learners to advance more quickly to higher-order tasks, such as semantic and syntactic categorization. Furthermore, findings of an embeddedness constraint on both speech and tone stimuli might suggest that this constraint is broadly domain-general. Present results do not indicate an embeddedness constraint on speech or tone input in adults. However, pending studies with infants may suggest that the existence of the embeddedness constraint is itself constrained by maturation or by experience with language.

description: Frustration in magnetic systems is fertile ground for complex behaviour, including unconventional ground states with emergent symmetries, topological properties, and exotic excitations. A canonical example is the emergence of magnetic-charge-carrying quasiparticles in spin-ice compounds. Despite extensive work, a reliable experimental indicator of the density of these magnetic monopoles in spin-ice systems is yet to be found. Here, using measurements on single crystals of Ho$_{2}$Ir$_{2}$O$_{7}$ in combination with dipolar Monte Carlo simulations, we show that the magnetoresistance is highly sensitive to the density of monopoles. Moreover, we find that for the orientations of magnetic field in which the monopole density is enhanced, a strong coupling emerges between the magnetic charges on the holmium sublattice and the antiferromagnetically ordered iridium ions, leading to an ability to manipulate the antiferromagnetic domains via a uniform external field. Our results pave the way to a quantitative experimental measure of monopole density and provide a powerful illustration of the interplay between the various magnetic and electronic degrees of freedom in the frustrated pyrochlore iridates. This interdependence holds promise for potential functional properties arising from the link between magnetic and electric charges, as well as for the control of antiferromagnetic domain walls, a key goal in the design of next-generation spintronic devices.

Fluctuation induced quantum interactions between compact objects and a plane mirror

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: The interaction of compact objects with an infinitely extended mirror plane due to quantum fluctuations of a scalar or electromagnetic field that scatters off the objects is studied. The mirror plane is assumed to obey either Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions or to be perfectly reflecting. Using the method of images, we generalize a recently developed approach for compact objects in unbounded space [1,2] to show that the Casimir interaction between the objects and the mirror plane can be accurately obtained over a wide range of separations in terms of charge and current fluctuations of the objects and their images. Our general result for the interaction depends only on the scattering matrices of the compact objects. It applies to scalar fields with arbitrary boundary conditions and to the electromagnetic field coupled to dielectric objects. For the experimentally important electromagnetic Casimir interaction between a perfectly conducting sphere and a plane mirror we present the first results that apply at all separations. We obtain both an asymptotic large distance expansion and the two lowest order correction terms to the proximity force approximation. The asymptotic Casimir-Polder potential for an atom and a mirror is generalized to describe the interaction between a dielectric sphere and a mirror, involving higher order multipole polarizabilities that are important at sub-asymptotic distances.

description: This research examines the interplay of factors that affect health care and health behaviors pertaining to sight in the African nation of Ghana. A series of direct interviews and observations of patients of Unite For Sight's partner eye clinics were conducted. These were used to create medical narratives, in order to elucidate how social, cultural, economic, and political elements contribute to illness incidence, course, and outcome. The efficacy of the medical narrative in this context was evaluated. Additionally, the study explored how determination of the forces that shape the situations these patients find themselves in can bring insight into the efficacy of various methods of providing care, and could greatly impact how the clinics, Unite for Sight, and other NGO's operate.

description: High-precision photometric observations have revealed ubiquitous stochastic low-frequency photometric variability in early type stars. It has been suggested that this variability arises due to either subsurface convection or internal gravity waves launched by the convective core. Here we show that relevant properties of convection in subsurface convective layers correlate very well with the timescale and amplitude of stochastic low-frequency photometric variability, as well as with the amplitude of macroturbulence. We suggest that low-frequency, stochastic photometric variability and surface turbulence in massive stars are caused by the the presence of subsurface convection. We show that an explanation for the observed surface photometric variability and macroturbulence relying on convective core driven internal gravity waves encounters a number of difficulties and seems unlikely to be able to explain the observed trends.

description: We present a stepwise adaptive-timestep version of the Quantum Jump (Monte Carlo wave-function) algorithm. Our method has proved to remain robust even for problems where the integrating implementation of the Quantum Jump method is numerically problematic. The only specific parameter of our algorithm is the single a priori parameter of the Quantum Jump method, the maximal allowed total jump probability per timestep. We study the convergence of ensembles of trajectories to the solution of the full master equation as a function of this parameter. This study is expected to pertain to any possible implementation of the Quantum Jump method.

description: The study of the interaction of hadrons, produced by elementary probes in a nucleus, with the surrounding nuclear medium can give insight into two important questions. First, at high energies, the production process, the time-scales connected with it and the prehadronic interactions can be studied by using the nuclear radius as a length-scale. We do this here by analyzing data from the EMC and HERMES experiements on nuclear attenuation. Second, at low energies the spectral function, and thus the selfenergy of the produced hadron, can be studied. Specifically, we analyze the CBELSA/TAPS data on $ω$ production in nuclei and discuss the importance of understanding in-medium effects both on the primary production cross section and the final state branching ratio. In both of these studies an excellent control of the final state interactions is essential.

description: Let $μ_2(Ω)$ be the first positive eigenvalue of the Neumann Laplacian in a bounded domain $Ω\subset\mathbb{R}^N$. It was proved by Szegő for $N=2$ and by Weinberger for $N \geq 2$ that among all equimeasurable domains $μ_2(Ω)$ attains its global maximum if $Ω$ is a ball. In the present work, we develop the approach of Weinberger in two directions. Firstly, we refine the Szegő-Weinberger result for a class of domains of the form $Ω_{\text{out}}\setminus\overlineΩ_{\text{in}}$ which are either centrally symmetric or symmetric of order $2$ (with respect to every coordinate plane $(x_i,x_j)$) by showing that $μ_{2}(Ω_{\text{out}}\setminus\overlineΩ_{\text{in}})\leqμ_2(B_β\setminus\overline{B}_α)$, where $B_α, B_β$ are balls centered at the origin such that $B_α\subsetΩ_{\text{in}}$ and $|Ω_{\text{out}}\setminus\overlineΩ_{\text{in}}|=|B_β\setminus\overline{B}_α|$. Secondly, we provide Szegő-Weinberger type inequalities for higher eigenvalues by imposing additional symmetry assumptions on the domain. Namely, if $Ω_{\text{out}}\setminus\overlineΩ_{\text{in}}$ is symmetric of order $4$, then we prove $μ_{i}(Ω_{\text{out}}\setminus\overlineΩ_{\text{in}})\leqμ_i(B_β\setminus\overline{B}_α)$ for $i=3,\dots,N+2$, where we also allow $Ω_{\text{in}}$ and $B_α$ to be empty. If $N=2$ and the domain is symmetric of order $8$, then the latter inequality persists for $i=5$. Counterexamples to the obtained inequalities for domains outside of the considered symmetry classes are given. The existence and properties of nonradial domains with required symmetries in higher dimensions are discussed. As an auxiliary result, we obtain the non-radiality of the eigenfunctions associated to $μ_{N+2}(B_β\setminus\overline{B}_α)$.

description: The ability to sprint fast and jump high are important abilities for athletes in a variety of sports. Currently there is a lack of research investigating the muscular characteristics important for sprinting and jumping. Therefore, the aims of this thesis were to: comprehensively assess the importance of lower body muscle volumes (measured by magnetic resonance imaging) for sprint performance within both male and female sprinters, by comparing groups of different performance standards and examining the relationships with season’s best race time; compare muscle volumes between male and female sprinters, and also between sub-groups of elite males, elite females, and performance matched (to elite females) sub-elite males; and assess the relationships between muscle volumes and vertical jump performance (jump height). Chapter III revealed pronounced anatomically-specific differences in muscle volumes between groups of elite male sprinters, sub-elite male sprinters and untrained males; absolute and relative total lower body muscularity differentiated elite from sub-elite sprinters, with the hip extensor muscle group in particular exhibiting the largest differences / relationships (elite, +32% absolute, +15% relative [per kg body mass] volume vs. sub-elite, and explaining 31-48% of the variability in sprint performance across the whole male sprint cohort). Chapter IV found that in females, total lower body absolute muscle volume was larger in elite than sub-elite sprinters (+15%). Elite female sprinters had larger volumes of the hip flexors (absolute +28%, relative +19%), hip extensors (absolute +22%, relative +14%) and knee extensors (absolute +21%), with relative hip flexor volume alone explaining 48% of sprint performance variability across the whole female cohort. Chapter V documented male sprinters being significantly more muscular than females, but in an anatomically specific pattern (i.e. differences in hip extensors and flexors > knee flexors and extensors > plantarflexors). Notably, this chapter provided novel evidence that muscle volume may be the primary explanatory variable for the sex difference in sprint performance, and indicated a distinct muscular distribution common to elite sprinters, irrespective of sex. Chapter VI highlighted the particular importance of knee extensor muscle volumes for countermovement jump performance, where the vastus medialis alone explained 14% of the variance in jump height. In conclusion, this thesis provides the first comprehensive description of lower body muscle volumes in elite sprinters, and provides novel evidence illustrating the importance of overall lower body muscularity, but particularly the anatomical distribution of that muscularity (specifically relative volumes of the hip extensors for males, and the hip extensors and flexors for females, as a determinant of sprint performance.

description: The diamagnetic-paramagnetic and insulator-metal transitions in LnCoO3 perovskites (Ln = La, Y, rare earths) are reinterpreted and modeled as a two-level excitation process. In distinction to previous models, the present approach can be characterized as a LS-HS-IS (low-high-intermediate spin) scenario. The first level is the local excitation of HS Co3+ species in the LS ground state. The second excitation is based on the interatomic electron transfer between the LS/HS pairs, leading finally to a stabilization of the metallic phase based on IS Co3+. The model parameters have been quantified for Ln = La, Pr and Nd samples using the powder neutron diffraction on the thermal expansion of Co-O bonds, that is associated with the two successive spin transitions. The same model is applied to interpret the magnetic susceptibility of LaCoO3 and YCoO3.

description: Background: Parkinson’s disease can negatively affect vocal functioning and social wellbeing, particularly in the latter stages of disease progression. Face-to-face group singing interventions can improve communication and wellbeing outcomes, yet not all people can access in-person sessions. To help overcome barriers to participation, exploration of the feasibility and utility of online therapeutic singing programs is needed. Objectives: To evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a 12-week ParkinSong Online intervention on speech and wellbeing for people with Parkinson’s disease. Methods: A total of 28 participants with idiopathic Parkinson’s disease were recruited to a single-arm feasibility study. Weekly 90-minute online sessions were co-facilitated by a music therapist and speech pathologist. Speech and wellbeing assessments were conducted pre and post intervention. Participant and facilitator surveys were administered after each session, with focus group interviews at the end of the program. Results: The recruitment rate was high (90%) with no attrition, adverse events, or safety issues. There was good intervention fidelity, attendance (average 89%), and positive participant experience. Feasibility was good, with technology reported as the main challenge (connecting and navigating Zoom). No improvements were seen in voice measures or wellbeing outcomes in this small trial. The online format used in this study did not provide the same benefits as in-person ParkinSong sessions. Conclusions: ParkinSong Online is feasible for recreational purposes and social engagement provided that people have adequate technological knowledge or support.

description: Rapid processing of scenes has been shown to be facilitated by the processing of low spatial frequency (LSF) components before that of high spatial frequency (HSF) components. It has been been proposed that magnocellular pathways carrying low spatial frequencies provide an initial ‘gist’ of a scene, which is filled in using higher spatial frequencies along the the ventral stream. This study seeks to determine how performance on a six-way scene categorization task varies as a function of spatial frequency and image presentation duration. Across six categories of scenes, a low-high continuum of spatial frequencies, and a short 50ms presentation duration and longer 100ms one, we measured subjects reaction times and accuracies in categorizing scenes. Accuracy was equivalent for HSF-filtered scenes and LSF-filtered and this was true for the shorter and longer duration conditions. However, accuracy was significantly better for HSF-filtered images of forests at 100ms versus at 50ms presentation. Taken together, these results suggest that in addition to LSF information, HSF components of scenes may also facilitate rapid scene processing for some types of scenes.

V,W and X in Technicolour Models

description: Light techni-fermions and pseudo Goldstone bosons that contribute to the electroweak radiative correction parameters V,W and X may relax the constraints on technicolour models from the experimental values of the parameters S and T. Order of magnitude estimates of the contributions to V,W and X from light techni-leptons are made when the the techni-neutrino has a small Dirac mass or a large Majorana mass. The contributions to V,W and X from pseudo Goldstone bosons are calculated in a gauged chiral Lagrangian. Estimates of V,W and X in one family technicolour models suggest that the upper bounds on S and T should be relaxed by between 0.1 and 1 depending upon the precise particle spectrum.

description: We use radio-frequency reflectometry to measure quasiparticle tunneling rates in the single-Cooper-pair-transistor. Devices with and without quasiparticle traps in proximity to the island are studied. A $10^2$ to $10^3$-fold reduction in the quasiparticle tunneling rate onto the island is observed in the case of quasiparticle traps. In the quasiparticle trap samples we also measure a commensurate decrease in quasiparticle tunneling rate off the island.

Wrinkled fibrations on near-symplectic manifolds

Subjects: subject: Geometric Topology (math.GT)

description: Motivated by the programmes initiated by Taubes and Perutz, we study the geometry of near-symplectic 4-manifolds, i.e., manifolds equipped with a closed 2-form which is symplectic outside a union of embedded 1-dimensional submanifolds, and broken Lefschetz fibrations on them. We present a set of four moves which allow us to pass from any given fibration to any other broken fibration which is deformation equivalent to it. Moreover, we study the change of the near-symplectic geometry under each of these moves. The arguments rely on the introduction of a more general class of maps, which we call wrinkled fibrations and which allow us to rely on classical singularity theory.Finally, we illustrate these constructions by showing how one can merge components of the zero-set of the near-symplectic form. We also disprove a conjecture of Gay and Kirby by showing that any achiral broken Lefschetz fibration can be turned into a broken Lefschetz fibration by applying a sequence of our moves.

description: We critically examine the QCD predictions for the $Q^2$ dependence of the electron-proton deep-inelastic structure function $F_2(x,Q^2)$ in the small $x$ region, which is being probed at HERA. The standard results based on next-to-leading order Altarelli-Parisi evolution are compared with those that follow from the BFKL equation, which corresponds to the resummation of the leading log$(1/x)$ terms. The effects of parton screening are also quantified. The theoretical predictions are confronted with each other, and with existing data from HERA. (3 Postscript figures included).

description: We study the discovery potential of the non-Standard Model (SM) heavy Higgs bosons in the Two-Higgs-Doublet Models (2HDMs) at a multi-TeV muon collider and explore the discrimination power among different types of 2HDMs. We find that the pair production of the non-SM Higgs bosons via the universal gauge interactions is the dominant mechanism once above the kinematic threshold. Single Higgs boson production associated with a pair of heavy fermions could be important in the parameter region with enhanced Yukawa couplings. For both signal final states, $μ^+μ^-$ annihilation channels dominate over the vector boson fusion (VBF) processes, except at high center of mass energies where the VBF processes receive large logarithmic enhancement with the increase of energies. Single Higgs boson $s$-channel production in $μ^+μ^-$-annihilation via the radiative return can also be important for the Type-L 2HDM in the very large $\tanβ$ region, extending the kinematic reach of the heavy Higgs boson mass to the collider energy. Considering both the production and decay of non-SM Higgs bosons, signals can be identified over the Standard Model backgrounds. With the pair production channels via annihilation, 95\% C.L. exclusion reaches in the Higgs mass up to the production mass threshold of $\sqrt{s}/2$ are possible when channels with different final states are combined. Including single production modes can extended the reach further. Different types of 2HDMs can be distinguishable for moderate and large values of $\tanβ$.

description: (Ultra)Luminous Infrared Galaxies [(U)LIRGs] are much more numerous at cosmological distances than locally, and are likely precursors of elliptical galaxies. Our goal is to carry out an integral field spectroscopic survey of a representative sample of low redshift (z < 0.26) (U)LIRGs, covering different morphologies from spirals to mergers over the entire infrared luminosity range. The present study is based on optical IFS obtained with the VIMOS instrument on the VLT. The first results of this survey are presented here with the study of two galaxies representative of the two major morphological types observed in (U)LIRGs, interacting pairs and morphologically- regular, weakly-interacting spirals, respectively. We have found that IRAS 06076-2139 consists of two low-intermediate mass (0.15 and 0.4 m*) galaxies with relative velocities of ~ 550 km/s and, therefore, it is unlikely that they will merge. The VIMOS IFS has also discovered the presence of a rapidly expanding and rotating ring of gas in the southern galaxy (Gs), likely due to a nearly central head-on passage of an intruder about 140 million years ago. IRASF 12115-4656 is a spiral for which we have found a mass of 1.2 m*. The neutral gas (traced by the NaI doublet) and ionized gas components are spatially and kinematically decoupled. The analysis presented here illustrates the full potential of IFS in two important aspects: (i) the study of the kinematics and ionization structure of complex interacting/merging systems, and (2i) the study of the kinematics of the different gas phases, neutral (cool) and ionized (warm), traced by the NaD and Halpha lines, respectively.

description: In the present article we consider the problem of underwater avalanches propagating over moderate slopes. The main goal of our work is to investigate the avalanche front velocity selection mechanism when it propagates downwards. In particular, we show that the front velocity does not depend univocally on the mass of sediments. This phenomenon is investigated and explained in our study. Moreover, we derive from the first principles a depth-averaged model. Then, we assume that sediments are uniformly distributed along the slope. In this case, they can be entrained into the flow head and a self-sustained regime can be established. One of the main findings of our study is that the avalanche front velocity is not unique due to a hysteresis phenomenon. We attempt to explain this phenomenon using dynamical systems considerations.
