Observational Constraints on the Self Interacting Dark Matter Scenario and the Growth of Supermassive Black Holes

description: We consider the consequences of SIDM for a velocity dependent cross section per unit mass. Accretion of SIDM onto seed black holes can produce supermassive black holes that are too large for certain combinations of parameters,which is used to obtain a new constraint on the dark matter interaction. Constraints due to other considerations are presented and previous ones are generalized. The black hole constraint is extremely sensitive to the slope α, of the inner density profile of dark halos. For the most probable value of α=1.3, there exists a narrow range in parameter space, such that all constraints are satisfied. However, the adiabatic compression of the dark halo by baryons as they cool and contract in normal galaxies yields a steeper cusp, α=1.7. This gives a tighter constraint, which would exclude SIDM as a possible solution to the purported problems with CDM in the absence of other dynamical processes. Nevertheless, SIDM with parameters consistent with this stronger constraint, can explain the ubiquity of supermassive black holes in the centers of galaxies. A ``best fit'' model is presented which reproduces the supermassive black hole masses and their observed correlations with the velocity dispersion of the host bulges. Specifically, the fourth power dependence of black hole mass on velocity dispersion is a direct consequence of the power spectrum having an index of n=-2. Although the dark matter collision rates for this model are too small to directly remedy problems with CDM, mergers between dark halos harboring supermassive black holes at high redshift could ameliorate the cuspy halo problem. This scenario also explains the lack of comparable supermassive black holes in bulgeless galaxies like M33.

description: This thesis presents studies aimed at improving ambulance effectiveness. The equipment power problem and fuel efficiency needs were investigated to explore the adoption of Hybrid Electric technology. We also studied the impact of disrupters on travel wherein analytical relations were developed using VISSIM simulation data. The travel of a similar size vehicle was recorded using a drone in order to obtain speed profiles to affirm the predicted deceleration and acceleration features in the influence zone when encountering speed bumps or disruptions. Finally, we developed and tested a system that simulates conditions during ambulance transport to train paramedics for en-route venipuncture.

description: Temporal behaviour of GRB afterglow light curve is derived for the case where the electron energy distribution is relatively flat, with the power-law index p lying between 1.0 and 2.0. It is shown that the expected behaviour will be the same as that for p>2.0 if the upper cutoff in the electron energy distribution evolves in direct proportion to the bulk Lorentz factor of the blast wave.

description: The use of multiple regression analysis to quantify the regime and strength of natural selection in nature has been an influential approach in evolutionary biology over the last 36 years. However, many studies fail to report the protocol of estimation of selection coefficients (selection gradients) and the specific model assumptions, thus failing to verify and reproduce the estimation of selection coefficients. We present a brief overview of the Lande and Arnold’s approach and a step-by-step R routine to aid researchers to perform a verifiable and reproducible regression analysis of natural selection. The steps involved in the analysis include: (1) assessing collinearity between phenotypic traits, (2) testing normality of model residuals, and (3) testing multivariate normality of phenotypic traits. We also performed a series of simulations to test the effect of non-symmetrical (skewed) phenotypic traits on the estimation of linear selection gradients. These showed that the bias in the linear gradient increased with increased skewness in phenotypic traits for the quadratic model, whereas the linear gradient of a model with only linear terms was nearly independent of trait skewness. If none of the above assumptions are met, selection gradients need to be estimated from two separate equations, whereas standard errors must be computed using other methods (e.g. bootstrapping). We expect that the procedure outlined here and the availability of analytical codes motivate the verifiability and reproducibility of the Lande and Arnold’s approach in the study of microevolution.

description: TITLE: Nonlinear Analysis to Quantify Movement Variability in Human-Humanoid Interaction ABSTRACT:
 Nonlinear analysis can be applied to investigate the dynamics of time-ordered data. Such dynamics relate to sensorimotor variability in the context of human-humanoid interaction. Hence, this dissertation not only explores questions such as how to quantify movement variability or which methods of nonlinear analysis are appropriate to quantify movement variability but also how methods of nonlinear analysis are affected by real-world time series data (e.g. non-stationary, data length size, sensor sources or noise). Methods are explored to determine embedding parameters, reconstructed state spaces, recurrence plots and recurrence quantification analysis. Additionally, this thesis presents three dimensional surface plots of recurrence quantification analysis with which to consider the variation of embedded parameters and recurrence thresholds. These show that three dimensional surface plots of Shannon entropy might be a suitable approach to understand the dynamics of real-world time series data. This thesis opens new avenues of applications in human-humanoid interaction where humanoid robots can be pre-programmed with nonlinear analysis algorithms to evaluate, for instance, the improvement of movement performances, to quantify and provide feedback of skill learning or to quantify movement adaptations and pathologies.

description: The quasi-one-dimensional linear chain compound HfTe3 is experimentally and theoretically explored in the few- to single-chain limit. Confining the material within the hollow core of carbon nanotubes allows isolation of the chains and prevents the rapid oxidation which plagues even bulk HfTe3. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy combined with density functional theory calculations reveals that, once the triple-chain limit is reached, the normally parallel chains spiral about each other, and simultaneously a short-wavelength trigonal anti-prismatic rocking distortion occurs that opens a significant energy gap. This results in a size-driven metal-insulator transition.

They also conserve the moment of inertia, the kinetic energy, the sum of square of the curvature, the product of distance and the sum of square of distance between bodies.

description: In three experiments we investigated whether memory-independent evaluative conditioning (EC) and other memory-independent contingency learning (CL) effects occur in the valence contingency task (VCT). In the VCT, participants respond to the valence of a target word that is preceded by a nonword. Across trials, each nonword is mostly combined with either positive or negative targets. Schmidt and De Houwer (2012. Contingency learning with evaluative stimuli. Experimental Psychology, 59, 175–182. doi:10.1027/1618-3169/a000141) showed faster and more often correct responses on trials that conformed to this contingency. Additionally, the authors found EC on valence ratings assessed after the VCT. All effects occurred also in the absence of contingency memory. Our Experiments 1a and 1b replicated the CL effects on measures assessed during the VCT (RT, errors) and showed that they occurred in the absence of contingency memory, but they did not replicate the EC effect assessed after the VCT. In Experiment 2, we tested whether this dissociation between EC and other CL effects was due to the different phases (during vs. after VCT) with a CL measure that could be used in both phases. On this measure, the CL effect was memory-dependent after, but not during the VCT. Across measures and experiments, we thus find memory-independent CL during the VCT, but not afterwards.
Embedded Soft Sensing in Soft Ring Actuator for Aiding with theSelf-Organisation of the In-Hand Rotational Manipulation

description: This paper proposes a soft sensor embedded in a soft ring actuator with five fingers as a soft hand to identify the bifurcation of manipulated objects during the in-hand manipulation process. The manipulation is performed by breaking the symmetry method with an underactuated control system by bifurcating the object to clockwise or counter-clockwise rotations. Two soft sensors are embedded in parallel over a single soft finger, and the difference in the resistance measurements is compared when the finger is displaced or bent in a particular direction, which can identify the bifurcation direction and aid in the break of symmetry approach without the need of external tracking devices. The sensors performance is also characterised by extending and bending the finger without an object interaction. During an experiment that performs a break of symmetry, manipulated objects turn clockwise and counter-clockwise depending on the perturbation and actuation frequency, sensors can track the direction of rotation. The embedded sensors provide a self-sensing capability for implementing a closed-loop control in future work. The soft ring actuator performance presents a self-organisation behaviour with soft fingers rotating an object without a required control for rotating the object. Therefore, the soft fingers are an underactuated system with complex behaviour when interacting with objects that serve in-hand manipulation field.

description: We describe the subject of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) analysis - its past, present and future. The theory of Gaussian primary anisotropies, those arising from linear physics operating in the early Universe, is in reasonably good shape so the focus has shifted to the statistical pipeline which confronts the data with the theory: mapping, filtering, comparing, cleaning, compressing, forecasting, estimating. There have been many algorithmic advances in the analysis pipeline in recent years, but still more are needed for the forecasts of high precision cosmic parameter estimation to be realized. For secondary anisotropies, those arising once nonlinearity develops, the computational state of the art currently needs effort in all the areas: the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect, inhomogeneous reionization, gravitational lensing, the Rees-Sciama effect, dusty galaxies. We use the Sunyaev-Zeldovich example to illustrate the issues. The direct interface with observations for these non-Gaussian signals is much more complex than for Gaussian primary anisotropies, and even more so for the statistically inhomogeneous Galactic foregrounds. Because all the signals are superimposed, the separation of components inevitably complicates primary CMB analyses as well.

description: Interfaces between topologically distinct phases of matter reveal a remarkably rich phenomenology. We study the experimentally relevant interface between a Laughlin phase at filling factor $ν=1/3$ and a Halperin 332 phase at filling factor $ν=2/5$. Based on our recent construction of chiral topological interfaces in [Nat. Commun. 10, 1860 (2019)], we study a family of model wavefunctions that captures both the bulk and interface properties. These model wavefunctions are built within the matrix product state framework. The validity of our approach is substantiated through extensive comparisons with exact diagonalization studies. We probe previously unreachable features of the low energy physics of the transition. We provide, amongst other things, the characterization of the interface gapless mode and the identification of the spin and charge excitations in the many-body spectrum. The methods and tools presented are applicable to a broad range of topological interfaces.

 TYPE SPECIES. — Scyllarocuma mclaughlinae n. sp.
 ETYMOLOGY. — From the Greek Skillaros, referring to its resemblance to the slipper lobsters (Decapoda, Scyllaridae), and Cuma, meaning embryo or larva and from which the order name derives.
DIAGNOSIS. — Pseudorostral lobes flattened dorsoventrally, meeting in front of the frontal lobe, eyes absent. First pedigerous segment not visible. Exopods of third maxilliped and first pereopod developed, but rudimentary on second to fourth pereopods. Basis and ischium of first pereopod expanded laterally to form operculum fully covering mouth appendages. Pleon reduced, shorter than carapace length. Uropod endopod one-articulated.
REMARKS
 In the three previously known operculate genera of the subfamily Vaunthompsoniinae, the operculum is formed by the expansions of the first pereopod as well as those of the third maxilliped (Hale 1936, 1944) (Table 1). However,in Scyllarocuma n. gen. the operculum is formed exclusively by the expansions of the basis and ischium of the first pereopod.Moreover, Scyllarocuma n. gen. has the first pedigerous segment not visible, the exopod of the second pereopod reduced, and the endopod of the uropod one-articulated.

description: We report the detection of 21-cm line emission from H I in the planetary nebula NGC 7293 (the Helix). The observations, made with the Very Large Array, show the presence of a ring of atomic hydrogen that is associated with the outer portion of the ionized nebula. This ring is most probably gas ejected in the AGB phase that has been subsequently photodissociated by radiation from the central star. The H I emission spreads over about 50 km/s in radial velocity. The mass in H I is approximately 0.07 solar masses, about three times larger than the mass in molecular hydrogen and comparable with the mass in ionized hydrogen.

description: We report on a recent Chandra ACIS-S observation of the Circinus galaxy. These observations confirm that the nuclear spectrum results from reflection of a hard X-ray continuum by ``neutral'' matter. The nuclear X-ray emission is extended by \sim 60 pc in the general direction of the optical ``ionization cone''. An image in the Fe Kαline has been made and shows that this emission extends up to 200 pc from the nucleus. There is also large-scale X-ray emission both along and perpendicular to the galaxy disk. Thermal plasma models for this extended gas indicate temperatures kT \sim 0.6 keV, though cooler photoionized gas is also possible. The X-ray emission from gas in the disk is probably associated with the starburst ring of radius 150--250 pc. The gas extending \sim 600 pc perpendicular to the disk is closely correlated with the high-excitation optical-line emission. In addition to its soft X-ray emission, we tentatively detect a hard component from the gas above the plane; this hard emission may represent nuclear X-rays scattered into our line of sight by electrons in the outflowing wind. Ten compact sources are found in the central kpc of the galaxy. The most luminous has an X-ray luminosity of \simeq 10^{40} erg s^{-1} and seems to be an X-ray binary in the Circinus galaxy with a black-hole mass exceeding 80 M_{\odot}.

Aspects of political control in selected public transport corporations
Creators: name: Wettenhall, Roger
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1961

description: My interest in the public corporation began during my studies for the Diploma of Public Administration at the University of Tasmania. When the adoption of that form for the management of Britain’s nationalised industries was presented as an exciting new adventure in government. Most of us recognised that the public corporation was known before the advent of the Attlee Government, and in particular that Australian governments had already made frequent use of it. However it was not until its selection as the instrument of nationalisation by British Labour that it became a popular subject for study. Even to-day it is broadly true that the much longer Australian experience has interested few scholars and is neither well understood nor well documented. I therefore chose the Australian Commonwealth corporations as the topic for my MA thesis, and supplemented this with some essays dealing with various aspects of the corporation in Australia. However I become increasingly conscious that I was only skirting the subject: the work concentrated on the formal, legal, organisational features, and largely ignored the personal element. I concluded that it was possible for the latter to distort the operation of legislative forms, but could offer very little useful information on just how or to what extent this did in fact occur. This is, I believe, a difficulty which has confronted many students of the public cooperation. It is due in large measure to the lack of empirical case-studies about the actual working of corporations, a lack which compels observers for the most part to generalise from scanty evidence or to take a primarily legalistic or speculative approach. It is approach that Australian governments have achieved many successes with the corporate form; but there have been more than a few failures. The occasional crisis inquiries have usually pointed, explicitly or implicitly, to personal incapacity, tactlessness or lack of appreciation of the requirement of public service generally or of the delicate relationships which must be maintained between corporation and minister (or between board members and executives within the corporation, or even between the board members themselves), as contributing factors when corporations do go wrong.

description: We propose a variation to the commonly used Word Error Rate (WER) metric for speech recognition evaluation which incorporates the alignment of phonemes, in the absence of time boundary information. After computing the Levenshtein alignment on words in the reference and hypothesis transcripts, spans of adjacent errors are converted into phonemes with word and syllable boundaries and a phonetic Levenshtein alignment is performed. The aligned phonemes are recombined into aligned words that adjust the word alignment labels in each error region. We demonstrate that our Phonetically-Oriented Word Error Rate (POWER) yields similar scores to WER with the added advantages of better word alignments and the ability to capture one-to-many word alignments corresponding to homophonic errors in speech recognition hypotheses. These improved alignments allow us to better trace the impact of Levenshtein error types on downstream tasks such as speech translation.

A background Neveu-Schwarz field B deforms the commutative $C^{\star}$-algebra of functions on $Σ$ to a noncommutative $C^{\star}$-algebra. Our construction provides an explicit example of the $N'\to\infty$ limit advocated by Bouwknegt-Mathai and Witten in order to deal with twisted K-theory. We provide the necessary elements to formulate M(atrix) theory on this new $C^{\star}$-algebra, by explicitly constructing a family of projective $C^{\star}$-modules admitting constant-curvature connections. This allows us to define the $g>1$ analogue of the BPS spectrum of states in $g=1$, by means of Donaldson's formulation of the Narasimhan-Seshadri theorem.

description: Let S_d be the symmetric group on d letters and let k be a field of characteristic p>2. Tensoring an irreducible S_d module with the sign representation defines an involution on the p-regular partitions of d. It is suprisingly difficult to describe this involution combinatorially. Mullineux conjectured an algorithmic description in 1979. Kleshchev gave an entirely new algorithm describing the involution in 1996 and proved with Ford that it agrees with Mullineux's. Using the modular representation theory of the supergroup GL(m|n) we provide the first new proof of the Mullineux conjecture which is independent of Kleshchev's approach. Similar techniques allow us to classify the irreducible polynomial representations of GL(m|n), completing recent partial results by Donkin.

The sky blue area indicates heterozygous genotypes at the marker loci, the green area indicates homozygous donor parent genotypes and the red color area indicate sensitive parent BR29 alleles. The names of markers are listed at the top of the figure. It is apparent that the salt tolerant individuals had the favorable QTL alleles (homozygous or heterozygote alleles from Capsule) and the salt sensitive individuals had opposite QTL alleles from BR29 at the QTL loci (RM12208 and RM6329).

description: Topological photonic crystals (TPhCs) provide robust manipulation of light with built-in immunity to fabrication tolerances and disorder. Recently, it was shown that TPhCs based on weak topology with a dislocation inherit this robustness and further host topologically protected lower-dimensional localized modes. However, TPhCs with weak topology at optical frequencies have not been demonstrated so far. Here, we use scattering-type scanning near field optical microscopy to verify mid-bandgap zero-dimensional light localization close to 100 THz in a TPhC with nontrivial Zak phase and an edge dislocation. We show that due to the weak topology, differently extended dislocation centers induce similarly strong light localization. The experimental results are supported by full-field simulations. Along with the underlying fundamental physics, our results lay a foundation for the application of TPhCs based on weak topology in active topological nanophotonics, and nonlinear and quantum optic integrated devices due to their strong and robust light localization.

description: A possible method to reconstruct the cosmic equation of state using strong gravitational lensing systems is proposed. The feasibility of the method is investigated by carrying out the reconstruction on the basis of a simple Monte-Carlo simulation. We show that the method can work and that the cosmic equation of state $w(z)$ can be determined within errors of $Δw\sim \pm0.1$ -- $\pm0.2$ when a sufficiently large number of lensing systems ($N\sim 20$) for $z\simlt 1$ are precisely measured. Statistics of lensed sources in a wide and deep survey like the SDSS are also briefly discussed.

description: Charged cyclic polymers, e.g. cyclic DNAs and polypeptides, play enabling roles in organisms, but their synthesis was challenging due to the well known polyelectrolyte effect. To tackle the challenge, we developed a templated method to synthesize a library of imidazolium and pyridinium based cyclic poly(ionic liquid)s. Cyclic templates, cyclic polyimidazole and poly(2-pyridine), were synthesized first through ring-closure method by light-induced Diels-Alder click reaction. Through quaternization of cyclic templates followed by anion metathesis, the cyclic poly(ionic liquid)s were synthesized, which paired with varied counter anions.

description: Helicobacter pylori, a gram‐negative bacterium, is known to be associated with various gastric pathologies including chronic gastritis, peptic ulcers and gastric carcinoma. Despite the emerging issue of bacterial resistance to antibiotic-based combination therapy, there is currently no vaccine available for H. pylori infection in the market. Here, we report the synthesis of α-(1,3)-D,D-heptoglycan with different chain length from the lipopolysaccharide of H. pylori serogroup O6. The [n + 1] iterative glycosylation strategy was used for heptoglycan chain elongation. The trifluoroacetimidate heptoside donor exhibited much higher efficiency than thioglycoside donor during glycosylation. An antigenicity evaluation using glycan microarrays indicated that α-(1,3)-D,D-hepto-disaccharide, pentasaccharide and hexasaccharide showed stronger binding affinity to IgG antibodies of H. pylori O6 LPS immunized rabbit serum or serum of H. pylori infected patients. These findings provide significant structure − activity relationship information for developing carbohydrate-based vaccines against H. pylori containing α-(1,3)-D,D-heptoglycan.

description: Kang et al. provided a path realization of the crystal graph of a highest weight module over a quantum affine algebra, as certain semi-infinite tensor products of a single perfect crystal. In this paper, this result is generalized to give a realization of the tensor product of several highest weight modules. The underlying building blocks of the paths are finite tensor products of several perfect crystals. The motivation for this work is an interpretation of fermionic formulas, which arise from the combinatorics of Bethe Ansatz studies of solvable lattice models, as branching functions of affine Lie algebras. It is shown that the conditions for the tensor product theorem are satisfied for coherent families of crystals previously studied by Kang, Kashiwara and Misra, and the coherent family of crystals $\{B^{k,l}\}_{l\ge 1}$ of type $A_n^{(1)}$.
