A Novel Supernova Detector

description: We discuss the prospects for detecting nu_{mu,tau} and nu_{tau}neutrinos from Type II supernovas using the novel detector at the Supernova Burst Observatory (SNBO) or OMNIS that is being designed for an underground laboratory in the USA. This detector would collect ~2000 flavor selected events from a Galactic supernova and could probe neutrino mass down to a few eV, as well as the dynamics of the supernova process. We believe this is essential to further our understanding of the neutrino section of elementary particle physics.

description: High-dimensional systems are an important frontier for photonic quantum correlation experiments. These correlation tests commonly prescribe measurements with many possible outcomes but they are often implemented through many individual binary-outcome measurements that use only a single-detector. Here, we discuss how this binarisation procedure for multi-outcome measurements can open a loophole, unless specific device-characterisation assumptions are satisfied. We highlight that correlation tests designed for multi-outcome measurements can be trivialised in binarised implementations and we then show how to accurately analyse binarised data to reveal its quantum features. For seminal types of correlation experiments, such as Bell inequality tests, steering tests and prepare-and-measure experiments, we find that binarisation may incur a sizable cost in the magnitude of quantum advantages. This emphasizes the importance of both accurate data analysis and implementing genuinely multi-outcome measurements in high-dimensional correlation experiments.

description: A research work program is undertaken to promote the use of green materials in civil engineering as a good solution to reduce the negative effects on the environment. Natural fibres are known as green alternatives for building materials. In present study, the impact of the mass of fibre on the mechanical properties of coconut fibre-reinforced mortar is investigated. The experiments in both fresh and hardened states of mortars were conducted in accordance with EN standards. Samples without fibre and with 1, 2, 3 vol.% fibres were cast and cured for 7, 14, 28 days. The results in hardened state of mortar indicated that the addition of fibres can reduce the compressive strength but increase the flexural strength of mortar in comparison with the mortar without fibre. The increase of water absorption capacity with the fibre content increase was also recorded with the increase of fibre content. Mortar incorporating 2% coconut fibres with 1.5 cm average length has the best mechanical properties. Moreover, a remarkable decrease of the workability of mortar incorporating coconut fibres was observed. However, the quantity of heat emitted in accordance with the development of the temperature of samples of freshly made mortars is decreased with the increased of fibre content.

Mechanical and physical properties of mortar of partially replaced fine aggregates with sawdust
Creators: name: Nanayakkara, O.

Publisher: name: Academic Journal of Civil Engineering
Year: 2019

description: Sawdust, a waste material produced from timber manufacturing process, is considered as an excellent bio based material. Sawdust is used in many applications; however, the use of sawdust with cementitious materials is minimum. The main reason for this is due to the fact that the sawdust is a bio based material where the durability of sawdust added cementitious materials is unknown. In addition to that, fresh, physical, and mechanical properties of concrete or mortar with sawdust are not well established. Therefore, the aim of this study is to explore the potential to use sawdust as a fine aggregate replacement material in typical Portland cement mortar. This study first aimed to investigate a proper pre-treatment method for sawdust which can be mixed in mortar. Results show that boiling sawdust with Sodium Hydroxide of 2% concentration for 2 hours and washing with boiling water for 30 minutes can produce better mechanical properties in comparison to original sawdust or sawdust boiled with water only. Adding sawdust decreases the density of mortar while increasing the water absorption capacity from 10% for normal mortar to 25% for mortar with 50% sawdust replacement level. Sawdust in mortar has a direct impact on its mechanical properties where compressive and flexural strength can be significantly reduced. However, even at 50% replacement level of sawdust, a reasonable compressive strength can be achieved which might be considered as sufficient for low grade applications. Sawdust addition can also significantly increase the drying shrinkage of mortar. Drying shrinkage of 1000 microns at 28 days’ age can be easily passed by mortar mixes with high sawdust content of above 30%. This study proves that the fine aggregates replacement with sawdust in mortar brings many disadvantages; however, still maintaining some reasonable mechanical properties. The effect on durability properties should be investigated further.

description: We establish a connection between optimizing the Bellman Residual and worst case long-term predictive error. In the online learning framework, learning takes place over a sequence of trials with the goal of predicting a future discounted sum of rewards. Our analysis shows that, to- gether with a stability assumption, any no-regret online learning algorithm that minimizes Bellman error ensures small prediction error. No statistical assumptions are made on the sequence of observations, which could be non-Markovian or even adversarial. Moreover, the analysis is independent of the particular form of function approximation and the particular (stable) no-regret approach taken. Our approach thus establishes a broad new family of provably sound algorithms for Bellman Residual-based learning and provides a generalization of previous worst-case result for minimizing predictive error. We investigate the potential advantages of some of this family both theoretically and empirically on benchmark problems
Onboard Contextual Classification of 3-D Point Clouds with Learned High-order Markov Random Fields

description: Contextual reasoning through graphical models such as Markov Random Fields often show superior performance against local classifiers in many domains. Unfortunately, this performance increase is often at the cost of time consuming, memory intensive learning and slow inference at testing time. Structured prediction for 3-D point cloud classification is one example of such an application. In this paper we present two contributions. First we show how efficient learning of a random field with higher-order cliques can be achieved using subgradient optimization. Second, we present a context approximation using random fields with high-order cliques designed to make this model usable online, onboard a mobile vehicle for environment modeling. We obtained results with the mobile vehicle on a variety of terrains, at 1/3 Hz for a map 25x 50 meters and a vehicle speed of 1-2 m/s.
Protecting the Baryon Asymmetry in Theories with R-parity Violation

Year: 1996
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We propose a mechanism for hiding the primordial baryon asymmetry from interactions that could wash it out. It requires the introduction of a baryon number carrying singlet which is in equilibrium in the early universe and shares any existing baryon asymmetry. It decouples from the Standard Model particles before all the interactions required to wash out the asymmetry are in equilibrium ($T \simeq 10$ TeV), and decays after the electroweak phase transition, but before nucleosynthesis. This mechanism can conserve a baryon asymmetry in models (a) with $B-L = 0$, such as many $SU(5)$ GUTs, or (b) with $B-L$ violating interactions in thermal equilibrium, such as SUSY with broken $R$-parity. As a result, cosmological constraints on $R$-parity violating operators are relaxed considerably.

description: This note introduces CutLang, a domain specific language that aims to provide a clear, human readable way to define analyses in high energy particle physics (HEP) along with an interpretation framework of that language. A proof of principle (PoP) implementation of the CutLang interpreter, achieved using C++ as a layer over the CERN data analysis framework ROOT, is presently available. This PoP implementation permits writing HEP analyses in an unobfuscated manner, as a set of commands in human readable text files, which are interpreted by the framework at runtime. We describe the main features of CutLang and illustrate its usage with two analysis examples. Initial experience with CutLang has shown that a just-in-time interpretation of a human readable HEP specific language is a practical alternative to analysis writing using compiled languages such as C++.

description: Cross sections for the 3He(e,e'pp)n reaction were measured over a wide range of energy and three- momentum transfer. At a momentum transfer q=375 MeV/c, data were taken at transferred energies omega ranging from 170 to 290 MeV. At omega=220 MeV, measurements were performed at three q values (305, 375, and 445 MeV/c). The results are presented as a function of the neutron momentum in the final-state, as a function of the energy and momentum transfer, and as a function of the relative momentum of the two-proton system. The data at neutron momenta below 100 MeV/c, obtained for two values of the momentum transfer at omega=220 MeV, are well described by the results of continuum-Faddeev calculations. These calculations indicate that the cross section in this domain is dominated by direct two-proton emission induced by a one-body hadronic current. Cross section distributions determined as a function of the relative momentum of the two protons are fairly well reproduced by continuum-Faddeev calculations based on various realistic nucleon-nucleon potential models. At higher neutron momentum and at higher energy transfer, deviations between data and calculations are observed that may be due to contributions of isobar currents.

description: The ingredients normally required to achieve topological superconductivity (TSC) are Cooper pairing, broken inversion symmetry, and broken time-reversal symmetry. We present a theoretical exploration of the possibility of using ultra-thin films of superconducting metals as a platform for TSC. Because they necessarily break inversion symmetry when prepared on a substrate and have intrinsic Cooper pairing, they can be TSCs when time-reversal symmetry is broken by an external magnetic field. Using microscopic density functional theory calculations we show that for ultrathin Pb and $β$-Sn superconductors the position of the Fermi level can be tuned to quasi-2D band extrema energies using strain, and that the $g$-factors of these Bloch states can be extremely large enhancing the influence of external magnetic fields.

description: The inflationary paradigm is extremely successful regarding predictions of temperature anisotropies in the CMB. However, inflation also makes predictions for a CMB B-mode polarization, which has not been detected. Moreover, the standard inflationary paradigm is unable to accommodate the evolution from the initial state, which is assumed to be symmetric, into a non-symmetric aftermath. In Phys. Rev. D 96, 101301(R), we show that the incorporation of an element capable of explaining such a transition drastically changes the prediction for the shape and size of the B-mode spectrum. In particular, employing a realistic objective collapse model in a well-defined semiclassical context, we find that, while predictions of temperature anisotropies are nor altered (with respect to standard predictions), the B-mode spectrum gets strongly suppressed--in accordance with observations. Here we present an in-depth discussion of that analysis, together with the details of the calculation.

Normalizing the Temperature Function of Clusters of Galaxies

Year: 1996
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We re-examine the constraints which can be robustly obtained from the observed temperature function of X-ray cluster of galaxies. The cluster mass function has been thoroughly studied in simulations and analytically, but a direct simulation of the temperature function is presented here for the first time. Adaptive hydrodynamic simulations using the cosmological Moving Mesh Hydro code of Pen (1997a) are used to calibrate the temperature function for different popular cosmologies. Applying the new normalizations to the present-day cluster abundances, we find $σ_8=0.53\pm 0.05 Ω_0^{-0.45}$ for a hyperbolic universe, and $σ_8=0.53\pm 0.05 Ω_0^{-0.53}$ for a spatially flat universe with a cosmological constant. The simulations followed the gravitational shock heating of the gas and dark matter, and used a crude model for potential energy injection by supernova heating. The error bars are dominated by uncertainties in the heating/cooling models. We present fitting formulae for the mass-temperature conversions and cluster abundances based on these simulations.

description: Multi-resolution representation is one of the effective approaches to image processing in both computer vision and computer graphics. However, the generation of multi-resolution representation for complex 3D polygonal mesh is a difficult problem. In this paper, a number of tools developed in our research group for this purpose are described. These tools employ different techniques such as smoothing, edge length normalization and wavelets to create representations which describe 3D shape at multi-resolutions. Unlike the control of mesh resolution known as mesh simplification or mesh decimation in computer graphics, the tools we have developed are in the context of computer vision, in particular, object recognition and surface matching. Application examples are given for each of the representations generated by the above tools. Comparison of the representations is also discussed.

description: The article is an empirical attempt to research, analyse, and dissect the corrupt involvement of legal practitioners in illegal and fraudulent acts, and mainly their involvement in litigation associated with issues of medical negligence. This is done primarily but not exclusively through the utilisation of several qualitative research methods, including the content analysis of primary literary sources such as official state documents, existing legislation and court proceedings and personal interviews with senior public servants, as well as secondary sources. Beginning with a short exploration of South Africa’s public legal terrain and the fears of sections of the statutory leadership of the legal profession, the article continues with the identification of key findings in several the country’s provinces, the modus operandi of the corrupt individuals and groups, as well as the monetary, financial and social repercussions of such actions.

description: Hydrostatic equilibrium (HSE), where the thermal pressure gradient balances the force of gravity, is tested across a range of simulated EAGLE haloes from Milky Way L* haloes (M_200~10^12 Msol) to cluster scales. Clusters (M_200>=10^14 Msol) reproduce previous results with thermal pressure responsible for ~90% of the support against gravity, but this fraction drops for group-sized haloes (M_200~10^13 Msol) and is even lower (40-70%) for L* haloes between 0.1-0.3 R_200. Energy from feedback grows relative to the binding energy of a halo toward lower mass resulting in greater deviations from HSE. Tangential motions comprise the largest deviation from HSE in L* haloes indicating that the hot circumgalactic medium (CGM) has significant sub- centrifugal rotation and angular momentum spin parameters 2-3x higher than the dark matter spin parameters. Thermal feedback can buoyantly rise to the outer CGM of M_200<10^12 Msol haloes, both moving baryons beyond R_200 and feeding uncorrelated tangential motions. The resulting hot halo density and rotation profiles show promising agreement with X-ray observations of the inner Milky Way halo, and we discuss future observational prospects to detect spinning hot haloes around other galaxies. Acceleration and radial streaming motions also comprise significant deviations from HSE, especially net outward accelerations seen in L* and group haloes indicating active feedback. Black hole feedback acts in a preventative manner during the later growth of group haloes, applying significant accelerations via shocks that do not feed tangential motions. We argue that HSE is a poor assumption for the CGM, especially in the inner regions, and rotating baryonic hot haloes are a critical consideration for analytic models of the CGM.

description: Flavor asymmetries for the valence and sea quarks of the $Σ^{\pm}$ can be obtained from Drell-Yan experiments using charged hyperon beams on proton and deuteron targets. A large, measurable difference in sea quark asymmetries is predicted between SU(3) and pseudoscalar meson models. The latter predict that in $Σ^{+}$, $\bar{u}/\bar{d} \leq 1/2$, whereas the former predict $\bar{u}/\bar{d} \approx 4/3$. Estimates of valence quark asymmetries based on quark models also show large deviations from SU(3) predictions, which should be measurable.

description: Whereas studies of the V1 cortex have focused mainly on neural line orientation preference, color inputs are also known to have a strong presence among these neurons. Individual neurons typically respond to multiple colors and nearby neurons have different combinations of preferred color inputs. However, the computations performed by V1 neurons on such color inputs have not been extensively studied. Here we aimed to address this issue by studying how different V1 neurons encode different combinations of inputs composed of four basic colors. We quantified the decoding accuracy of individual neurons from multielectrode array recordings, comparing multiple individual neurons located within 2 mm along the vertical axis of the V1 cortex of the anesthetized rat. We found essentially all V1 neurons to be good at decoding spatiotemporal patterns of color inputs and they did so by encoding them in different ways. Quantitative analysis showed that even adjacent neurons encoded the specific input patterns differently, suggesting a local cortical circuitry organization which tends to diversify rather than unify the neuronal responses to each given input. Using different pairs of monocolor inputs, we also found that V1 neocortical neurons had a diversified and rich color opponency across the four colors, which was somewhat surprising given the fact that rodent retina express only two different types of opsins. We propose that the processing of color inputs in V1 cortex is extensively composed of multiple independent circuitry components that reflect abstract functionalities resident in the internal cortical processing rather than the raw sensory information per se.

description: We model the correlated X-ray - UV observations of NGC 7469, for which well sampled data in both these bands have been obtained recently in a multiwavelength monitoring campaign. To this end we derive the transfer function in wavelength \ls and time lag \t, for reprocessing hard (X-ray) photons from a point source to softer ones (UV-optical) by an infinite plane (representing a cool, thin accretion disk) located at a given distance below the X-ray source, under the assumption that the X-ray flux is absorbed and emitted locally by the disk as a black body of temperature appropriate to the incident flux. Using the observed X-ray light curve as input we have computed the expected continuum UV emission as a function of time at several wavelengths (łł1315 Å, łł6962 Å, łł15000 Å, łł30000 Å) assuming that the X-ray source is located one \sc radius above the disk plane, with the mass of the black hole $M$ and the latitude angle $θ$ of the observer relative to the disk plane as free parameters. We have searched the parameter space of black hole masses and observer azimuthal angles but we were unable to reproduce UV light curves which would resemble, even remotely, those observed. We also explored whether particular combinations of the values of these parameters could lead to light curves whose statistical properties (i.e. the autocorrelation and cross correlation functions) would match those corresponding to the observed UV light curve at łł1315 Å. Even though we considered black hole masses as large as $10^9$ M$_{\odot}$ no such match was possible. Our results indicate that some of the fundamental assumptions of this model will have to be modified to obtain even approximate agreement between the observed and model X-ray - UV light curves.

description: We present a novel approach to 3D shape synthesis of closed surfaces. A curved or polyhedral 3D object of genus zero is represented by a curvature distribution on a spherical mesh that has nearly uniform distribution with known connectivity among mesh nodes. This curvature distribution, i.e., the result of forward mapping from shape space to curvature space, is used as the intrinsic shape representation because it is invariant to rigid transformation and scale factor. Furthermore, with regularity constraints on the mesh, the inverse mapping from curvature space to shape space always exists and can be recovered using an iterative method. Therefore, the task of synthesizing a new shape from two known objects becomes one of interpolating the two known curvature distributions, and then mapping the interpolated curvature distribution back to a 3D morph. Using the distance between two curvature distributions, we can quantitatively control the shape synthesis process to yeild smooth curvature migration. Experiments show that our method produces smooth and realistic shape morphs.

description: We introduce a class of (0,2) superconformal field theories based on hybrid geometries, generalizing various known constructions. We develop techniques for the computation of the complete massless spectrum when the theory can be interpreted as determining a perturbative heterotic string compactification. We provide evidence for surprising properties regarding RG flows and IR accidental symmetries in (0,2) hybrid CFTs. We also study the conditions for embedding a hybrid theory in a particular class of gauged linear sigma models. This perspective suggests that our construction generates models which cannot be realized or analyzed by previously known methods.

Stochastic Acceleration of Low Energy Electrons in Cold Plasmas

description: We investigate the possibility of stochastic acceleration of background low-energy electrons by turbulent plasma waves. We consider the resonant interaction of the charged particles with all branches of the transverse plasma waves propagating parallel to a uniform magnetic field. Numerical results and asymptotic analytic solutions valid at non-relativistic and ultra-relativistic energies are obtained for the acceleration and scattering times of electrons. These times have a strong dependence on plasma parameter alpha = Omega_pe / Omega_e (the ratio of electron plasma frequency to electron gyrofrequency) and on the spectral index of plasma turbulence. It is shown that particles with energies above certain critical value may interact with higher frequency electromagnetic plasma waves and this interaction is allowed only in plasmas with alpha < 1. We show that for non-relativistic and semi-relativistic electrons in low-alpha plasmas the ratio of the acceleration time to the scattering time can be less than unity for a wide range of energies. From this we conclude that the transport equation derived for cosmic rays which requires this ratio to be much larger than one is not applicable at these energies. An approximate "critical" value of particle energy above which the dynamics of charged particles may be described by this transport equation is determined as a function of plasma parameters. We propose new transport equation for the opposite limit (energies less than this critical value) when the acceleration rate is much faster than the pitch angle scattering rate. This equation is needed to describe the electron dynamics in plasmas with alpha <= 0.1.

description: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-D was identified as a potential predictive biomarker for ramucirumab efficacy in second-line metastatic colorectal cancer using a research use only (RUO) assay. We describe results with a new assay for detecting VEGF-D in human plasma. In RAISE (Clinical Trial Registration: NCT01183780), 1072 patients were randomized 1:1 to ramucirumab or placebo plus FOLFIRI. All patients were then randomized 1:2 to marker exploratory (ME) and marker confirmatory (MC) groups, and those with plasma samples were analyzed accordingly. A new assay validated for investigational use only (IUO) was used to measure VEGF-D levels in plasma, which were analyzed for correlation with overall and progression-free survival (OS/PFS). IUO assay data were compared with historical RUO assay data. ME subset analyses determined the optimal cutpoint of 5.4 ng/mL for defining high/low VEGF-D subgroups. In the combined ME/MC placebo arms, OS/PFS were numerically greater for patients with low vs high VEGF-D (OS: 12.8 vs 11.1 months; PFS: 5.6 vs 4.2 months). In patients with high VEGF-D, ramucirumab vs placebo demonstrated a numerically greater improvement in OS and PFS. Differential efficacy by VEGF-D level was statistically significant for PFS, but not OS. In patients with high VEGF-D, ramucirumab demonstrated a greater improvement in OS and PFS vs placebo; however, baseline VEGF-D level was not predictive of ramucirumab OS benefit using VEGF-D assay for IUO. The RAISE intent-to-treat results remain valid.

description: Magnetic anisotropy controls the orientational stability and switching properties of magnetic states, and therefore plays a central role in spintronics. First-principles density-functional-theory calculations are able, in most cases, to provide a satisfactory description of bulk and interface contributions to the magnetic anisotropy of particular film/substrate combinations. In this paper we focus on achieving a simplified understanding of some trends in interfacial magnetic anisotropy based on a simple tight-binding model for quasiparticle states in a heavy-metal/ferromagnetic-metal bilayer film. We explain how to calculate the magnetic anisotropy energy of this model from the quasiparticle spin-susceptibility, compare with more conventional approaches using either a perturbative treatment of spin-orbit interactions or a direct calculation of the dependence of the energy on the orientation of the magnetization, and show that the magnetic anisotropy can be interpreted as a competition between a Fermi-sea term favoring perpendicular anisotropy and a Fermi-surface term favoring in-plane anisotropy. Based on this finding, we conclude that perpendicular magnetic anisotropy should be expected in an itinerant electron thin film when the spin magnetization density is larger than the product of the band exchange splitting and the Fermi level density-of-states of the magnetic state.
title: Taxation, sovereignty and just cooperation: realizing a model for distributive justice in global tax governance
Creators: name: Forsyth, Saba Majidi
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2024

description: This thesis is intended to explore the normative questions surrounding the pursuit of global tax justice, through the lens of its conflicting demands of just cooperation and state sovereignty. Among the many pressing global problems which require cooperation between states, coordination on taxation presents particularly acute challenges. It is designed to protect tax sovereignty within the interdependence and interaction of diverse tax systems, while also requiring ever closer cooperation to secure this task for all countries. Considering the extent to which the international tax regime’s commitment to sovereignty preservation has enabled a framework which restricts the autonomy of developing countries and produces inequitable outcomes, it is argued that reconciling this conflict requires a normative commitment to principles of global distributive justice.

The thesis pursues this argument by exploring the relational account given by John Rawls, which places duties of distributive justice as central to ensuring just forms of social cooperation, but argues that its applicability is limited to sovereign states. Seeking to account for the central problems of relational power and inequitable treatment within global tax cooperation, and utilizing the relational model of global justice as freedom from domination within republican theory, the thesis builds a normative account of global tax justice which reframes sovereignty as a reciprocal and collective value, in which the exercise of autonomy is constrained by commitments to the freedom of all states. Within this framework, it is argued, there are duties of distributive justice which can direct the aims of global tax governance to provide more genuinely equitable participation and a just distribution of power.
An Excitation Function of K$^-$ and K$^+$ Production in Au+Au Reactions at the AGS

description: Mid-rapidity spectra and yields of K$^-$ and K$^+$ have been measured for Au+Au collisions at 4, 6, 8, and 10.7 AGeV. The K$^-$ yield increases faster with beam energy than for K$^+$ and hence the K$^-$/K$^+$ ratio increases with beam energy. This ratio is studied as a function of both $\sqrt{s}$ and $\sqrt{s}$-$\sqrt{s_{th}}$ which allows the direct comparison of the kaon yields with respect to the production threshold in p+p reactions. For equal $\sqrt{s}$ - $\sqrt{s_{th}}$ the measured ratio K$^-$/K$^+$=0.2 at energies above threshold in contrast to the K$^-$/K$^+$ ratio of near unity observed at energies below threshold. The use of the K$^-$/K$^+$ ratio to test the predicted changes of kaon properties in dense nuclear matter is discussed.

description: We study the 3D shape similarity between closed surfaces. We represent a curved or polyhedral 3D object of genus zero using a mesh representation that has nearly uniform distribution with known connectivity among mesh nodes. We define a shape similarity metric based on the L2 distance between the local curvature distributions over the mesh representations of the two objects. For both convex and concave objects, the shape metric can be computed in time O(n2), where n is the number of tessellation of sphere or the number of meshes which approximate the surface. Experiments show that our method produces good shape similarity measurements.
Probing The Gravity Induced Bias with Weak Lensing: Test of Analytical results Against Simulations

description: Future weak lensing surveys will directly probe the density fluctuation in the universe. Recent studies have shown how the statistics of the weak lensing convergence field is related to the statistics of collapsed objects. Extending earlier analytical results on the probability distribution function of the convergence field we show that the bias associated with the convergence field can directly be related to the bias associated with the statistics of underlying over-dense objects. This will provide us a direct method to study the gravity induced bias in galaxy clustering. Based on our analytical results which use the hierarchical {\em ansatz} for non-linear clustering, we study how such a bias depends on the smoothing angle and the source red-shift. We compare our analytical results against ray tracing experiments through N-body simulations of four different realistic cosmological scenarios and found a very good match. Our study shows that the bias in the convergence map strongly depends on the background geometry and hence can help us in distinguishing different cosmological models in addition to improving our understanding of the gravity induced bias in galaxy clustering.
