description: In this presentation information on urban morphology available for Greater Manchester in northwest England is analysed, and an approach to derive the roughness parameters needed to model the surface sensible heat flux is described. A surface morphologic database for Greater Manchester, developed from analysis of digitised geo-referenced data of the surface elements height (Cities Revealed Building Heights Data and Environment Agency data), aerial photography, maps and field surveys, is described. Initially, data of a sample area of Greater Manchester are analysed. Land-use categories are established for Greater Manchester, and reference morphologic parameters are attributed to each land-use category. The fraction of urbanised area and model surface morphologic parameters, such as the surface elements height (zH) and frontal area index (λF), are estimated and mapped over a rectangular grid of 1km x 1km resolution, for the Greater Manchester study area. Using these values it was possible to obtain model estimates of the zero-plan displacement height (zD) and roughness height for momentum (z0M) for each domain cell.

description: We investigate possible ways in which a quantum wavepacket spreads. We show that in a general class of double kicked rotor systems, a wavepacket may undergo superballistic spreading; i.e., its variance increases as the cubic of time. The conditions for the observed superballistic spreading and two related characteristic time scales are studied. Our results suggest that the symmetry of the studied model and whether it is a Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser system are crucial to its wavepacket spreading behavior. Our study also sheds new light on the exponential wavepacket spreading phenomenon previously observed in the double kicked rotor systems.

description: The Convective and Orographically-Induced Precipitation Study, COPS, was conducted in the Black Forest region of Germany during the summer of 2007. Its aim was to advance the quality of forecasts of orographically induced convective precipitation by 4D observations and modelling. From the 13th June to the 16th August 2007, the Universities' Facility for Atmospheric Measurement (UFAM) 1.5 micron scanning Doppler lidar, operated by the University of Salford, was deployed at Achern, Baden-Württemberg, Germany, in order to take part in the extensive COPS observation campaign. The University of Salford lidar system measures radial wind and aerosol backscatter from 105 m above the surface to the top of the boundary layer. Profiles of horizontal wind velocity are shown; these being derived from performing azimuth scans of 5 minute duration, approximately every 30 minutes. Between azimuth scans, the lidar pointed vertically. Profiles of vertical velocity, its variance and skewness are also shown. Knowledge of vertical velocity skewness is important as it can help understand the structure and origin of turbulent convection in the boundary layer. The skewness of vertical velocity can provide a measure of the asymmetry in the distribution of vertical velocity perturbations within the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL). In previous studies, under fair-weather conditions, when the ABL is heated from below, skewness profile tends to be positive throughout the ABL, while under cloudy conditions, the skewness profile can be affected by cloud processes and therefore predominantly negative. The behaviour of the boundary layer is investigated using data from the Salford University Doppler lidar, microwave radiometer and automatic weather station. In this paper, selected cases are compared and the similarities and differences are noted. Investigations of possible causes of layers of positive and negative skewness are presented, along with intercomparisons with radiosonde ascents from the Achern site.

description: We present the latest result of the TAPAS project that is devoted to intense monitoring of planetary candidates that are identified within the PennState-Toruń planet search. We aim to detect planetary systems around evolved stars to be able to build sound statistics on the frequency and intrinsic nature of these systems, and to deliver in-depth studies of selected planetary systems with evidence of star-planet interaction processes. The paper is based on precise radial velocity measurements: 13 epochs collected over 1920 days with the Hobby-Eberly Telescope and its High-Resolution Spectrograph, and 22 epochs of ultra-precise HARPS-N data collected over 961 days. We present a warm-Jupiter ($T_{eq}=1350 K$, $m_{2} sin i=5.4\pm$0.4$M_{J}$) companion with an orbital period of 26.468 days in a circular ($e=0.036$) orbit around a giant evolved ($\log g=3.11\pm0.09$, $R=6.26\pm0.86R_{\odot}$) star with $M_{\star}=1.87\pm0.17M_{\odot}$. This is the most massive and oldest star found to be hosting a close-in giant planet. Its proximity to its host ($a=0.21au$) means that the planet has a $13.9\pm2.0\%$ probability of transits; this calls for photometric follow-up study. This massive warm Jupiter with a near circular orbit around an evolved massive star can help set constraints on general migration mechanisms for warm Jupiters and, given its high equilibrium temperature, can help test energy deposition models in hot Jupiters.

description: The radiative properties of marine stratocumulus, which affect the global climate, are influenced by a number of factors including aerosols, the temperature profile, the presence of drizzle, the surface heat flux and the entrainment of warm dry air from above the cloud layer. As part of VOCALS-UK we are investigating the effects of these different factors on the small scale structure and microphysics of marine stratocumulus, and hence on its radiative properties, by using the Met Office Large Eddy Model. The model simulations are validated against measurements from the BAe-146 research aircraft obtained during the VOCALS field campaign, over the southeast Pacific in October and November 2008, and the relative contributions of the different factors are then analyzed by using the 'factorial' method of Teller and Levin.

Syllabus

description: Forensic anthropologists analyze human skeletal remains from medico-legal contexts and bioarchaeologists analyze human skeletal remains from archaeological sites. Both fields use methods derived from biological anthropology. This course introduces students to the basic methods of these disciplines, including assessing the age, sex, ancestry, and stature of an individual using their bones. Recognition of skeletal anomalies can also reveal past health conditions and the cause and manner of death. This course will also introduce the ongoing disciplinary debate concerning the ethical implications of using skeletal remains to assess ancestry within forensic anthropology. The final project for this course will involve reconstructing the biological profile for an individual of unknown origin.

description: We study the Kondo chain in the regime of high spin concentration where the low energy physics is dominated by the Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY) interaction. As has been recently shown (A. M. Tsvelik and O. M. Yevtushenko, Phys. Rev. Lett 115, 216402 (2015)), this model has two phases with drastically different transport properties depending on the anisotropy of the exchange interaction. In particular, the helical symmetry of the fermions is spontaneously broken when the anisotropy is of the easy plane type (EP). This leads to a parametrical suppression of the localization effects. In the present paper we substantially extend the previous theory, in particular, by analyzing a competition of forward- and backward- scattering, including into the theory short range electron interactions and calculating spin correlation functions. We discuss applicability of our theory and possible experiments which could support the theoretical findings.

description: All practical OFDM systems require a prefix to eliminate inter-symbol interference at the receiver. Cyclic prefix (CP) and zero-padding are well-known prefix construction methods, the former being the most employed technique in practice due to its lower complexity. In this paper we construct an OFDM system with a generalized CP. It is shown that the proposed generalized prefix effectively makes the channel experienced by the packet different from the actual channel. Using an optimization procedure, lower bit error rates can be achieved, outperforming other prefix construction techniques. At the same time the complexity of the technique is comparable to the CP method. The presented simulation results show that the proposed technique not only outperforms the CP method, but is also more robust in the presence of channel estimation errors and mobility. The proposed method is appropriate for practical OFDM systems.

Archaeology: Lessons from the Past Syllabus

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022
Subjects: Archaeology
Syllabus

description: In US popular culture, the word “archaeology” often conjures up images of buried treasure, ancient ruins, daring adventurers, and perhaps even dinosaurs or aliens. In reality, the discipline of archaeology is the study of the material traces of the human past. These traces include everything from human-made objects such as pottery, stone tools, and architecture, to animal bones, plant remains, and human skeletons. Rather than seeking out individual artifacts because of their aesthetic or monetary value (*cough, cough* Indiana Jones, *cough, cough*), archaeologists excavate and analyze artifacts and remains because they provide evidence of how past people lived and how ancient societies were organized. Archaeology is important because it allows us to access the entire scope of human history, from the Paleolithic to the present day, providing us with an understanding of what it means to be human across space and over time. This does not, however, mean that archaeology is a value- free discipline; instead, archaeological questions are shaped by history and culture. In this course, we will critically examine how archaeologists ask and answer questions about the human past, while exploring how their research is received in popular culture.

Two bi-stability jumps in theoretical wind models for massive stars and the implications for Luminous Blue Variable supernovae

name: Vink, Jorick S.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Luminous Blue Variables have been suggested to be the direct progenitors of supernova types IIb and IIn, with enhanced mass loss prior to explosion. However, the mechanism of this mass loss is not yet known. Here, we investigate the qualitative behaviour of theoretical stellar wind mass-loss as a function of Teff across two bi-stability jumps in blue supergiant regime and also in proximity to the Eddington limit, relevant for LBVs. To investigate the physical ingredients that play a role in the radiative acceleration we calculate blue supergiant wind models with the CMFGEN non-LTE model atmosphere code over an effective temperature range between 30000 and 8800 K. Although our aim is not to provide new mass-loss rates for BA supergiants, we study and confirm the existence of two bi-stability jumps in mass-loss rates predicted by Vink, de Koter, & Lamers (1999). However, they are found to occur at somewhat lower Teff (20000 and 9000 K, respectively) than found previously, which would imply that stars may evolve towards lower Teff before strong mass-loss is induced by the bi-stability jumps. When the combined effects of the second bi-stability jump and the proximity to Eddington limit are accounted for, we find a dramatic increase in the mass-loss rate by up to a factor of 30. Further investigation of both bi-stability jumps is expected to lead to a better understanding of discrepancies between empirical modelling and theoretical mass-loss rates reported in the literature, and to provide key inputs for the evolution of both normal AB supergiants and LBVs, as well as their subsequent supernova type II explosions.

Subjects: subject: Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics (astro-ph.IM)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this short review we will highlight some of the recent advancements in the field of high-resolution laboratory spectroscopy that meet the needs dictated by the advent of highly sensitive and broadband telescopes like ALMA and SOFIA. Among these is the development of broadband techniques for the study of complex organic molecules, like fast scanning conventional absorption spectroscopy based on multiplier chains, chirped pulse instrumentation, or the use of synchrotron facilities. Of similar importance is the extension of the accessible frequency range to THz frequencies, where many light hydrides have their ground state rotational transitions. Another key experimental challenge is the production of sufficiently high number densities of refractory and transient species in the laboratory, where discharges have proven to be efficient sources that can also be coupled to molecular jets. For ionic molecular species sensitive action spectroscopic schemes have recently been developed to overcome some of the limitations of conventional absorption spectroscopy. Throughout this review examples demonstrating the strong interplay between laboratory and observational studies will be given.

Decadal Climate Variability associated with the Meridional Overturning Circulation and the North Atlantic Oscillation in a new Climate Model (CHIME)

description: Using statistical analysis, the study investigates the decadal variability in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) and the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) in a new-coupled climate model CHIME developed at the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton. Because of the well-known contribution of both the AMOC and NAO to the mild climate of Atlantic European region, understanding the mechanism leading to their strong variability is pre-requisite for developing decadal predictions. However, although it has been shown that the multidecadal AMOC fluctuations are associated with a spatial pattern of surface heat flux variations that bear a strong resemblance to the NAO, no conclusive evidence has yet been found that the AMOC variability is part of a dynamically coupled atmosphere-ocean mode. Therefore in this study, the mechanisms responsible for decadal variability and links between the AMOC and NAO are investigated using CHIME. This model is as similar as possible to HadCM3 with the important exception that the ocean component has been replaced by the Hybrid-coordinate model HYCOM. The dependence of simulated AMOC and NAO variability on ocean model type is thus addressed for the first time. Overall CHIME shows strong decadal variability in both the AMOC and the NAO, which can be of considerable interested from the perspective of decadal climate predictability.

Archaeology of Inequality Syllabus
Creators: name: Beck, Jess
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: In 2018, Oxfam reported that the 26 richest people on the planet had the same net worth as half of the global population.The rampant wealth disparities in the modern world lead us to ask whether inequality is an inescapable component of all societies. Through its unique access to the deep time of human prehistory, archaeology allows us to question myths and just-so stories about the origins and inevitability of inequality. In this course, we will examine how different ways of making a living, from food procurement to economic and political organization, have worked to either amplify or diminish inequalities in human communities. This course will cover topics that resonate in the past and present: How do elites justify their monopolization of power and resources? Are there alternatives to hierarchy in large-scale communities? What strategies have past people used to evade the inequitable demands of states and empires? This course will explore how archaeologists draw upon multiple lines of evidence—including material culture, architecture, and the remains of ancient plants, animals, and people—to develop a holistic understanding of inequality in past societies.

Air Quality forecasts using a numerical weather prediction model: Potential sources of error
Creators: name: Dacre, Helen
Publisher: name: Zenodo

Subjects: subject: https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85084334.html

description: The meteorological processes responsible for transporting tracer during the second ETEX (European Tracer Experiment) release are determined using the UK Met Office Unified Model (UM). The UM predicted distribution of tracer is compared with observations from the ETEX campaign and predictions from the UK Met Office operational air quality forecast model (NAME). The dominant meteorological process is a warm conveyor belt which transports large amounts of tracer away from the surface up to a height of 4km over a 36 hour period. Convection is also an important process, transporting tracer to heights of up to 8km Potential sources of error when using an operational numerical weather prediction model to forecast air quality are also investigated. These potential sources of error include model dynamics, model resolution and model physics. In the UM a semi-Lagrangian advection scheme is used with polynomial interpolation. This can result in unrealistic negative values of tracer which, when combined with a positive definite scheme in which negative values of tracer are set to zero, results in a failure of the model to conserve tracer mass. This problem occurs where sharp gradients of tracer concentration exist, such as are found close to source locations and leads to an overprediction of tracer concentrations. Model resolution can also affect the accuracy of predicted tracer distributions. Low resolution simulations (50km grid length) were unable to resolve a change in wind direction associated with the cold front, this led to an error in the transport direction and hence an error in tracer distribution. High resolution simulations (12km grid length) captured the change in wind direction and hence produced a tracer distribution that compared better with the observations. The representation of convective mixing was found to have a large affect on the vertical transport of tracer. Turning off the convective mixing parameterisation in the UM significantly reduced the vertical transport of tracer. Finally, air quality forecasts were found to be sensitive to the timing of synoptic scale features. Errors in the position of the cold front relative to the tracer release location of only 1 hour resulted in changes in the predicted tracer concentrations that were of the same order of magnitude as the absolute tracer concentrations.

description: Simplified models provide a useful tool to conduct the search and exploration of physics beyond the Standard Model in a model-independent fashion. In this work we consider the complementarity of indirect searches for new physics in Higgs couplings and distributions with direct searches for new particles, using a simplified model which includes a new singlet scalar resonance and vector-like fermions that can mix with the SM top-quark. We fit this model to the combined ATLAS and CMS 125 GeV Higgs production and coupling measurements and other precision electroweak constraints, and explore in detail the effects of the new matter content upon Higgs production and kinematics. We highlight some novel features and decay modes of the top partner phenomenology, and discuss prospects for Run II.

description: Moves to increasingly high-resolution models give rise to more variations in the underlying orography being captured by the model grid. Consequently, high-resolution models must overcome instabilities associated with terrain-following approaches. This work further explores the capabilities of a cut-cell representation of orography for idealised orographically-forced and moist microscale flows. The model is based on terrain-intersecting coordinates and solves flow in the resulting cut-cells using a finite-volume approximation. The model has been designed for the purposes of very high-resolution simulations. Comparisons with benchmark orographic and moist test cases demonstrate very good results. Further tests show the potential for the cut-cell approach for stably resolving flows over very steep orography.

description: Aspalathus thymifolia Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 711. 1753. "Habitat in Aethiopia." RCN: 5220. Type not designated. Original material: [icon] in Plukenet, Amalth. Bot.: t. 413, f. 1. 1705; Almag. Mant.: 88. 1700 - Typotype: Herb. Sloane 92: 72 (BM-SL). Current name:  Aspalathus cymbiformis DC. (Fabaceae: Faboideae). Note: Dahlgren (in Opera Bot. 8(1): 133. 1963) found that this was probably based on a poorly drawn Plukenet illustration, nevertheless identifiable (via a typotype specimen in Herb. Sloane 92: 72. BM-SL) as A. cymbiformis DC. As Linnaeus’ name was later used by him for A. carnosa P.J. Bergius, and by other botanists mostly for A. hispida Thunb., Dahlgren treated A. thymifolia as a nomen ambiguum et dubium in the synonymy of A. cymbiformis. No formal rejection proposal appears to have been made.

Intra- and intercycle interference of electron emission in laser assisted XUV atomic ionization

description: We study the ionization of atomic hydrogen in the direction of polarization due to a linearly polarized XUV pulse in the presence a strong field IR. We describe the photoelectron spectra as an interference problem in the time domain. Electron trajectories steming from different optical laser cycles give rise to intercycle interference energy peaks known as sidebands. These sidebands are modulated by a grosser structure coming from the intracycle interference of the two electron trajectories born during the same optical cycle. We make use of a simple semiclassical model which offers the possibility to establish a connection between emission times and the photoelectron kinetic energy. We compare the semiclassical predictions with the continuum-distorted wave strong field approximation and the ab initio solution of the time dependent Schrödinger equation. We analyze such interference pattern as a function of the time delay between the IR and XUV pulse and also as a function of the laser intensity.
Human Osteology & Bioarchaeology Syllabus

Syllabus

description: Knowledge of human osteology is key for fields such as archaeology, biological anthropology, forensic anthropology, anatomy, and medicine. This course introduces students to human skeletal anatomy and the field of bioarchaeology, the study of human skeletal remains from archaeological sites. The first half of the course provides an introduction to skeletal anatomy for anthropologists and biologists and covers the entire human skeleton, with sections on growth, development, and pathology. The skeletal anatomy of select non-human mammals is used to demonstrate the functional morphology of each bone. This second half of the course introduces students to the basic methods of human skeletal analysis, including assessing the age, sex, health, and stature of an individual using their bones. The grade for this course will be based on a combination of participation, quizzes, larger assessments, and the maintenance of a “bone notebook” in which students sketch and describe individual skeletal elements. Students taking the course at the graduate level will also submit a final research paper that examines a topic of bioarchaeological significance in a region and/or period pertinent to their own academic research.
