On the Erroneous Correlation between Earthquakes and Eclipses

Subjects: subject: Popular Physics (physics.pop-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A long-lasting belief is that the gravitational stress by the moon would be responsible for earthquakes because of causing a tidal deformation of Earth's crust. Even worse, earthquakes are sometimes said to be correlated with eclipses. We review the origin of this wrong statement and show that the idea is owed to a fallacious perception of coincidence. In ancient times the two catastrophes were linked interpreting the announcement of Doomsday, while in modern times a quasi-scientific essay disseminated such an interrelation shortly before the theory of tectonics.

description: In this letter, we give an analytical quantum description of a non-equilibrium polariton Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) based on the solution of the master equation for the full polariton density matrix in the limit of fast thermalization. We find the density matrix of a non-equilibrium BEC, that takes into account quantum correlations between all polariton states. We show that the formation of BEC is accompanied by the build-up of cross-correlations between the ground state and the excited states reaching their highest values at the condensation threshold. Despite the non-equilibrium nature of polariton systems, we show the average population of polariton states exhibits the Bose-Einstein distribution with an almost zero effective chemical potential above the condensation threshold similar to an equilibrium BEC. We demonstrate that above threshold the effective temperature of polariton condensate drops below the reservoir temperature.
Influence of random fluctuations in the Lambda-effect on meridional flow and differential rotation

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present a mean field model based on the approach taken by Rempel (astro-ph/0604451) in order to investigate the influence of stochastic fluctuations in the Reynolds stresses on meridional flow and differential rotation. The stochastic fluctuations found in the meridional flow pattern directly resemble the stochastic fluctuations of the Reynolds stresses, while the stochastic fluctuations in the differential rotation are smaller by almost two orders of magnitude. It is further found that the correlation length and time scale of the stochastic fluctuations have only a weak influence on meridional flow, but a significant influence on the magnitude of variations in the differential rotation. We analyze the energy fluxes within the model to estimate time scales for the replenishment of differential rotation and meridional flow. We find that the time scale for the replenishment of differential rotation (~10 years) is nearly four orders of magnitude longer than the time scale for the replenishment of meridional flow, which explains the differences in the response to stochastic fluctuations of the Reynolds stress found for both flow fields.

description: We discuss the zero temperature phase diagram of a dilute gas with three fermionic species. We make use of solvable limits to conjecture the behavior of the system in the "unitary" regions. The physics of the Thomas-Efimov effect plays a role in these considerations. We find a rich phase diagram with superfluid, gapless superfluid and inhomogeneous phases with different symmetry breaking patterns. We then discuss one particular possible experimental implementation in a system of ^6Li atoms and the possible phases arising in this system as an external magnetic field is varied across three overlaping Feshbach resonances. We also suggest how to experimentally distinguish the different phases.

description: Improvement of nerve repair therapeutics relies on a clear understanding of neural response, including how neurons interact with their extracellular environment. Various cell types, including neurons, are known to secrete extracellular matrix molecules. Current systems for neural stem cell (NSC) encapsulation are generally focused on directing cell differentiation, yet typically overlook cellular remodeling of their environment, which could have dramatic effects on multiple cell responses including viability, proliferation and differentiation. Preliminary studies suggested that NSCs actively sense and remodel their environment when encapsulated in a hydrogel scaffold as indicated by an increase in gel stiffness, decrease in swelling ratio and slower degradation time. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to monitor gel degradation time as well as molecule secretion by NSCs. Our work not only demonstrated that gel degradation time is slower when encapsulated with NSCs, but also that NSCs alter the sulfhydryl concentration in the cell culture medium.

description: Chiral symmetry is an essential concept in understanding QCD at low energy. We treat the chiral condensate, which measures the spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry, as a free parameter to investigate the effect of partially restored chiral symmetry on the physical quantities in the frame work of an AdS/QCD model. We observe an interesting scaling behavior among the nucleon mass, pion decay constant and chiral condensate. We propose a phenomenological way to introduce the temperature dependence of a physical quantity in the AdS/QCD model with the thermal AdS metric.

description: Biofilms are complex aggregation of microorganisms grown on a solid substrate.   They are characterized by structural heterogeneity, genetic diversity, and complex community interactions. Biofilm can be formed on a lot of surfaces including human body implants. When it is formed on the surface of implants, the consequence will be the removal of the implants, because biofilms are very resistant to antibodies. Biofilms are responsive and dynamic, and are adaptive to the changes of the environment. The cells in the biofilms are genetically different from the planktonic cells. In this work, I studied how microenvironment, specifically the micropattern of the surface's influences on the formation of the staphylococcus aureus biofilm.  I found that micropatterned surface affected the thickness and the number of dead cells in the bioflm.

description: Wind farms can be regarded as complex systems that are, on the one hand, coupled to the nonlinear, stochastic characteristics of weather and, on the other hand, strongly influenced by supervisory control mechanisms. One crucial problem in this context today is the predictability of wind energy as an intermittent renewable resource with additional non-stationary nature. In this context, we analyze the power time series measured in an offshore wind farm for a total period of one year with a time resolution of 10 min. Applying detrended fluctuation analysis, we characterize the autocorrelation of power time series and find a Hurst exponent in the persistent regime with cross-over behavior. To enrich the modeling perspective of complex large wind energy systems, we develop a stochastic reduced-form model ofpower time series. The observed transitions between two dominating power generation phases are reflected by a bistable deterministic component, while correlated stochastic fluctuations account for the identified persistence. The model succeeds to qualitatively reproduce several empirical characteristics such as the autocorrelation function and the bimodal probability density function.

In the overdoped regime the c-axis metallizes and we present here simple theoretical arguments demonstrating that the observed effect of the metallic c-axis screening on the polar electron-phonon coupling is consistent with a strongly overdamped c-axis charge dynamics in the optimally doped system, becoming less dissipative in the overdoped regime.

description: The Aspergilli are important filamentous fungi to study, being simultaneously both extremely helpful and harmful to human. Here, we characterize the proteomics of the model fungus Aspergillus nidulans during autophagy, a key cellular process which, when strategically manipulated, can help harness the benefits of fungi and downplay their detrimental effects. Autophagy (more specifically, macroautophagy) is an important cellular mechanism by which cells degrade and recycle portions of the cytosol when there is limited nutrient supply. Autophagy is highly conserved from yeast to man, and thus our study here have broad implications to all eukaryotes. Currently, only a few studies exist that characterized autophagy in fungi. We thus employed proteomic analysis, a systems biology tool which provides a panoptic, large-scale profiling of protein expression level changes, to better understand fungal autophagy. Thus, the broad goal here is to utilize proteomic analysis to develop a better fundamental understanding of protein expression associated with autophagy in filamentous fungi.  We first established one of the first A. nidulans proteome map. Osmoadaptation, a relatively better understood stress response than autophagy, was used to validate our proteomic approach. Our analysis also identified novel proteins that are implicated for the first time to be linked with osmoadaptation. Next, we studied the proteomic difference between two known inducers of autophagy, carbon-starvation and rapamycin treatment. Our data suggests that some effectors are shared between the rapamycin-regulated pathways and carbon-starvation regulated pathways (e.g. polar growth, cell wall degradation), that the mechanism by which they are regulated are different (e.g. 14-3-3 ArtA involved in regulating polar growth during carbon-starvation but not during rapamycin treatment), and that there are other effectors that are distinct between the two (e.g. reduced amino acid biosynthesis only observed in carbon-starvation). Our final study builds on this theme by reporting a time-dependent response of autophagy-impaired mutant (?Atg8) exposed to rapamycin. Our proteomic data suggest that A. nidulans, when challenged with rapamycin, upregulates gluconeogenesis, pentose phosphate pathway, amino acid biosynthesis, secretory pathway, polarized growth, and ribosome turnover even without a fully functioning autophagy. Taken together, our proteomic data imply that rapamycin-mediated effectors are distinguished from those of autophagy.

description: We study dynanics of $SU(N-4)$ gauge theories with fermions in rank-2 symmetric tensor and $N$ anti-fundamental representations, by perturbing supersymmetric theories with anomaly-mediated supersymmetry breaking.

For $N<17$, theories flow to infrared fixed points.

description: The {\it Microvariability and Oscillations of Stars (MOST)} satellite observed the B supergiant HD 163899 (B2 Ib/II) for 37 days as a guide star and detected 48 frequencies $\la$ 2.8 c d$^{-1}$ with amplitudes of a few milli-magnitudes (mmag) and less. The frequency range embraces g- and p-mode pulsations. It was generally thought that no g-modes are excited in less luminous B supergiants because strong radiative damping is expected in the core. Our theoretical models, however, show that such g-modes are excited in massive post-main-sequence stars, in accordance with these observations. The nonradial pulsations excited in models between $20M_\odot$ at $\log T_{\rm eff} \approx 4.41$ and $15M_\odot$ at $\log T_{\rm eff} \approx 4.36$ are roughly consistent with the observed frequency range. Excitation by the Fe-bump in opacity is possible because g-modes can be partially reflected at a convective zone associated with the hydrogen-burning shell, which significantly reduces radiative damping in the core. The {\it MOST} light curve of HD 163899 shows that such a reflection of g-modes actually occurs, and reveals the existence of a previously unrecognized type of variable, slowly pulsating B supergiants (SPBsg) distinct from $α$ Cyg variables. Such g-modes have great potential for asteroseismology.

Exclusive distribution agreements and competition law : an analysis
Creators: name: Russi, Raffaella
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: A manufacturer or supplier that wishes to distribute its product and/or to expand its selling operations in its own or a foreign country must be concerned with a large body of specific laws and regulations, among others competition law. This thesis focuses on the Canadian Competition Act and its effect on such business relationships, specifically distribution agreements. In the first chapter I briefly define the distribution agreement, discuss its main legal implications, and deal with exclusivity provisions usually included in such agreements. With respect to the distribution of goods and in particular to an exclusive distribution agreement, the provisions of the Competition Act dealing with reviewable matters and resale price maintenance are the most important ones. The second chapter contains an analysis of these provisions in general and in the context of the exclusive distribution agreement in particular. In the third chapter I discuss the impact of these provisions on distribution agreements and the question of whether they are able to serve the main purpose of the Competition Act. In doing so, I concentrate on two major issues: What is the impact of Canada's Competition Act on an exclusive distribution agreement, and why does the Act treat resale price maintenance in a different way than it treats non-price vertical restraints? After having analyzed the most important provisions regarding distribution agreements, I conclude that the impact of competition law on the process of product distribution, especially with respect to exclusive distribution agreements, is not as significant as it may seem. This is true at least with respect to reviewable practices. Many of the practices a manufacturer or supplier uses to distribute its products are common and not illegal per se. Moreover, the provisions with respect to reviewable matters do not present a significant barrier for a supplier who promotes and sells its product through a vertical distribution system. This is mainly due to the requirements of the different provisions which narrow the scope of their applications significantly. Only where a supplier has a strong position in the market and deals with a particular product which cannot be substituted easily, competition law might have a major impact. However, the situation is different for the practice of resale price maintenance. A per se offence, the resale price maintenance provision applies to any supplier regardless of its size or position in the market. For this reason and because of the fact that an attempt to influence prices upward is sufficient for a prohibition, this provision is of significant importance for distribution agreements. In consequence, I argue that these conclusions with respect to both reviewable matters and the practice of resale price maintenance do not collide with the objectives of competition policy that are predominant in Canada in the present day; they rather support this finding.

description: We explore heavy-element nucleosynthesis by rapid neutron capture (r-process) in the decompressing ejecta from the surface of a neutron star. The decompression is triggered by a violent phase transition to strange quark matter (quark-nova scenario). The presence of neutron-rich large Z nuclei (40,95) < (Z,A) < (70,177), the large neutron-to-seed ratio, and the low electron fraction Ye ~ 0.03 in the decompressing ejecta present favorable conditions for the r-process. We perform network calculations that are adapted to the quark-nova conditions, and which mimic usual (n-gamma) equilibrium r-process calculations during the initially cold decompression phase. They match to dynamical r-process calculations at densities below neutron drip (4.10^11 g cm-3). We present results for the final element abundance distribution with and without heating from nuclear reactions, and compare to the solar abundance pattern of r-process elements. We highlight the distinguishing features of quark-novae by contrasting it with conventional nucleosynthetic sites such as type II supernovae and neutron star mergers, especially in the context of heavy-element compositions of extremely metal-deficient stars.

description: Gas sensors based on transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have attracted much attention from a new perspective involving light-assisted or gate-voltage operation. However, their combined roles as regards the gas sensing performance and mechanism have not yet been understood due to the lack of controlled studies. This study systematically investigates the oxygen sensor performance and mechanism of few-layer-thick rhenium disulfide (ReS2) field-effect transistors (FETs) under light illumination and gate biasing. As a result, a combination of light illumination and positive gate voltage enhanced the device responsivity over 100% at a 1% oxygen concentration, that is, the approach achieved a practical sensitivity of 0.01% ppm-1, which outperform over most of the reports available in the literature. Furthermore, the fabricated devices exhibited long-term stability and stable operation even under humid conditions, indicating the ability of the sensor device to operate in a real-time application. These results contribute to the development of versatile tunable oxygen sensors based on TMDC FETs.

For chaotic dots, we use a normalized random wave model to obtain analytic expansions for matrix element variances and covariances in the limit of large kL (where k is the Fermi wave number and L the linear size of the dot). These leading-order analytical results are compared with exact numerical results. Both two-body and one-body matrix elements are shown to follow strongly non-Gaussian distributions, despite the Gaussian random nature of the single-electron wave functions.

description: As the COVID19 pandemic has spread across the world, a concurrent pandemic of information has spread with it. Deemed an infodemic by the World Health Organization, and described as an overabundance of information, some accurate, some not, that occurs during an epidemic, this proliferation of data, research and opinions provides both opportunities and challenges for academics. Academics and scientists have a key role to play in the solutions to the infodemic challenge: as educators, influences and communicators, even where their expertise and experience does not align precisely with the SARS-Cov2 virus and its impacts. Successful communication requires a better understanding of how the public seeks, understands and processes scientific information, however, in order to maximise the ways in which experts engage with traditional and social media and to make sure that such engagement does not add to confusion and misinformation alongside efforts to counter or challenge it. This paper will outline the key advantages to be had from greater engagement with COVID19 discussions, the popular channels through which such discussions take place and through which information is disseminated. It also warns against the common pitfalls those who choose to engage might encounter, whilst stressing that the disadvantages of doing so are far outweighed by the advantages such engagement offers.

description: The current technology for determining infant glucose levels uses either a bedside glucose analyzer or a laboratory enzymatic method, which subjects the infant to pain from multiple invasive blood draws. A non-invasive method for neonatal glucose monitoring would be desirable.   We exploit transepidermal water loss (TEWL) to detect skin glucose using modified glucose binding protein (GBP) and correlate with blood glucose. This GBP-based assay is four orders of magnitude more sensitive than prior methods.    We use a membrane covered glucose-solution filled chamber as a human blood-skin model. Cellulose acetate and porcine ear skin are used as in vitro models for human skin. We successfully demonstrate that surface glucose concentration is proportional to internal concentration for both models. An optimum noninvasive protocol is created using adult volunteers. The GBP detects skin glucose at low concentrations, which correlates well to blood glucose. The GBP assay shows comparable results to the standard analytical method using high-performance anion-exchange chromatography (HPAEC).
Transcutaneous monitoring of respiratory gases in preterm neonates
Creators: name: Chatterjee, Madhubanti
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2014

description: The past decades have seen a widespread application of transcutaneous monitoring in neonatology. The noninvasive approach overcomes the painful nature of blood sampling. Our work focused on the technique of simultaneous noninvasive measurement of tcpO2 (transcutaneous partial pressure of oxygen) and tcpCO2 (transcutaneous partial pressure of carbon dioxide). A small sampling chamber was built connecting the carbon dioxide and oxygen sensors to measure the gases diffusing out of the skin. The measurements were based on the initial diffusion rate instead of the mass-transfer equilibrium which allows for a faster response. By using the new method, physical activities, food intake and breathing patterns were shown to have a strong effect on the amount of carbon dioxide and oxygen evolving from the human skin. The measurement parameters such as sampler area, location, position and procedure timing were optimized using design of experiments. The measurements were validated and correlated against an FDA approved commercial transcutaneous monitor (the Radiometer TCM 4.0). The experimental setup was further modified and automated, and then approved for clinical trials at the University of Maryland, School of Medicine in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). The results obtained from a premature baby in the NICU were correlated to the Arterial Blood Gas (ABG) analysis. The noninvasive and rate-based monitoring technique was also extended to monitoring dissolved oxygen and carbon dioxide in cell cultures. We have shown that by measuring the initial diffusion rate we were able to determine the partial pressures of the two gases in the culture. The technique could be readily automated and measurements could be made in minutes. It was tested in demonstration experiments by growing mammalian cells in a T flask and a spinner flask at 37 degree C.The results were validated using optical sensor systems. A dynamic theoretical model based on a three dimensional unit cell representation of the experimental system that includes a single blood vessel was constructed in order to gain a better fundamental understanding of the factors that determine the performance of the new approach. The model employed the finite element numerical method and accounted for the fluid mechanics, mass transfer and reaction kinetics of the system. The model was implemented using COMSOL Multiphysics engineering simulation software.

description: We expand the two-photon Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) effect onto a higher-dimensional set of spatial modes and introduce an effect that allows controllable redistribution of quantum states over these modes using directionally unbiased linear-optical four-ports without post-selection. The original HOM effect only allows photon pairs to exit in two directions in space. But when accompanied by beam splitters and phase shifters, the result is a directionally controllable two-photon HOM effect in four spatial modes, with direction controlled by changing the phases in the system. This controllable quantum amplitude manipulation also allows demonstration of a "delayed" HOM effect by exploiting phase shifters in a system of two connected multiport devices. By this means, both spatial and temporal control of the propagation of the two-photon superposition state through a network can be achieved.

description: Hilbert space operators may be mapped onto a space of ordinary functions (operator symbols) equipped with an associative (but noncommutative) star-product. A unified framework for such maps is reviewed. Because of its clear probabilistic interpretation, a particular class of operator symbols (tomograms) is proposed as a framework for quantum information problems. Qudit states are identified with maps of the unitary group into the simplex. The image of the unitary group on the simplex provides a geometrical characterization of the nature of the quantum states. Generalized measurements, typical quantum channels, entropies and entropy inequalities are discussed in this setting.

description: Since the change to an outcomes-based approach in Engineers Ireland’s accreditation criteria almost 20 years ago there has been an emphasis placed on ‘soft’ skills such as teamwork and ensuring graduate engineers are not only well versed in their chosen discipline, but that they can communicate their knowledge – to other Engineers and also non-Engineers. Energy Management is a module taught to 4th year Mechanical Engineers, and the learning outcomes are best assessed by how students can communicate the energy topics they are researching. As an individual they will research an area that interests them and write a paper at the end of semester but leading up to this there are two ‘patchwork’ assessments from which they receive feedback and can use to formulate the introduction to their final paper. The second of these is peer assessed using the same Rubric as for the first assessment, and they must also review their own writing following this. Feedback has shown that this develops a greater understanding of their writing and what constitutes a good technical writing style. Teamwork is developed in this module through a 35% sustainable energy group project which involves a presentation and a written group report. On completion the students submit a peer moderation form online which allows the grade to be moderated if the work was not evenly shared. The approach taken for each element has evolved over 15 years and will be explored as part of this practice paper.

description: We present a detailed three-dimensional (3D) view of a prominence eruption, coronal loop expansion, and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) associated with an M4.4 flare that occurred on 2011 March 8 in the active region NOAA 11165. Full-disk H$α$ images of the flare and filament ejection were successfully obtained by the Flare Monitoring Telescope (FMT) following its relocation to Ica University, Peru. Multiwavelength observation around the H$α$ line enabled us to derive the 3D velocity field of the H$α$ prominence eruption. Features in extreme ultraviolet were also obtained by the Atmospheric Imager Assembly onboard the {\it Solar Dynamic Observatory} and the Extreme Ultraviolet Imager on board the {\it Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory - Ahead} satellite. We found that, following collision of the erupted filament with the coronal magnetic field, some coronal loops began to expand, leading to the growth of a clear CME. We also discuss the succeeding activities of CME driven by multiple interactions between the expanding loops and the surrounding coronal magnetic field.

The recognition and scope of indigenous fishing, hunting and gathering rights at commom law in Australia
Creators: name: Sweeney, Desmond
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Australian courts have yet to uphold the existence of any Indigenous fishing, hunting or gathering rights at common law. The High Court of Australia recognised that Indigenous peoples had existing common law rights to land in the Mabo decision in 1992. In doing so, the court fundamentally altered what had been the conventional legal wisdom about the legal rights of Indigenous peoples in Australia. The principles upon which that decision was based pave the way for the recognition of fishing, hunting and gathering rights of Indigenous peoples. But that recognition is yet to occur. The thesis explores the potential for the recognition of fishing, hunting and gathering rights of Indigenous peoples at common law in Australia. Whilst there have been some tentative steps towards the recognition of such rights, there remains considerable uncertainty as to whether such rights do exist at common law and, if so, their scope. This thesis traces the recent developments in the law concerning the recognition of Indigenous fishing, hunting or gathering rights in Canada, New Zealand and the United States. The thesis argues that Indigenous peoples in Australia have an existing, albeit unrecognised, common law right to fish, hunt and gather. If common law fishing, hunting or gathering rights exist, further issues arise as to restrictions upon their exercise under regulatory regimes. Particular problems which may arise in Australia in this regard are considered. Issues concerning the extinguishment and regulation of such rights are analysed in detail. The operation of the Racial Discrimination Act 1975 (Cth) and the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth), which confer additional protection on Indigenous rights recognised at common law, is examined in depth. The impact of these statutes upon State legislation dealing with fishing, hunting and gathering in so far as they affect Indigenous rights is significant. The thesis explores the potential for the commercial utilisation of Indigenous fishing, hunting and gathering rights. Indigenous peoples have received a greater share of the valuable commercial fishing industry in Canada, New Zealand and the United States in the past two decades. However, in Australia there has been no change in the level of participation of Indigenous peoples in fisheries in the wake the Mabo decision. Indigenous peoples remain largely excluded from the current commercial fishing industry. The thesis analyses the legal bases used by Indigenous peoples in other countries to obtain a share in commercial fisheries and considers the applicability of those legal principles to Australia. Finally, issues concerning allocation of natural resources between Indigenous and non-Indigenous users and the regulation or co-management of natural resources utilised by both Indigenous and non-Indigenous persons are explored.

description: We report the observation of magnetoresistance (MR) originating from the orbital angular momentum transport (OAM) in a Permalloy (Py) / oxidized Cu (Cu*) heterostructure: the orbital Rashba-Edelstein magnetoresistance. The angular dependence of the MR depends on the relative angle between the induced OAM and the magnetization in a similar fashion as the spin Hall magnetoresistance (SMR). Despite the absence of elements with large spin-orbit coupling, we find a sizable MR ratio, which is in contrast to the conventional SMR which requires heavy elements. By varying the thickness of the Cu* layer, we confirm that the interface is responsible for the MR, suggesting that the orbital Rashba-Edelstein effect is responsible for the generation of the OAM. Through Py thickness-dependence studies, we find that the effective values for the spin diffusion and spin dephasing lengths of Py are significantly larger than the values measured in Py / Pt bilayers, approximately by the factor of 2 and 4, respectively. This implies that another mechanism beyond the conventional spin-based scenario is responsible for the MR observed in Py / Cu* structures originated in a sizeable transport of OAM. Our findings not only unambiguously demonstrate the current-induced torque without using any heavy element via the OAM channel but also provide an important clue towards the microscopic understanding of the role that OAM transport can play for magnetization dynamics.

description: We study the KdV and Burgers nonlinear systems and show in a consistent way that they can be mapped to each other through a strong requirement about their evolutions's flows to be connected. We expect that the established mapping between these particular systems should shed more light towards accomplishing some unification's mechanism for KdV hierarchy's integrable systems.
