description: We estimate an empirical lower limit for the fraction of cosmic star formation that is triggered by minor mergers in the local Universe. Splitting the star-formation budget by galaxy morphology, we find that early-type galaxies (ETGs) host ~14% of the budget, while Sb/Sc galaxies host the bulk (~53%) of the local star formation activity. Recent work indicates that star formation in nearby ETGs is driven by minor mergers, implying that at least ~14% of local star formation is triggered by this process. A more accurate estimate can be derived by noting that an infalling satellite likely induces a larger starburst in a galaxy of 'later' morphological type, both due to higher availability of gas in the accreting galaxy and because a bigger bulge better stabilizes the disk against star formation. This enables us to use the star formation in ETGs to estimate a lower limit for the fraction of star formation in late-type galaxies (LTGs) that is minor-merger-driven. Using a subsample of ETGs that is mass and environment-matched to the LTGs (implying a similar infalling satellite population), we estimate this limit to be ~24%. Thus, a lower limit for the fraction of cosmic star formation that is induced by minor mergers is ~35% (14% [ETGs] + 0.24 x 86% [LTGs]). The observed positive correlation between black hole and galaxy mass further implies that a similar fraction of black hole accretion may also be triggered by minor mergers. Detailed studies of minor-merger remnants are therefore essential, to quantify the role of this important process in driving stellar mass and black hole growth in the local Universe.

description: We consider some contributions to rare processes in $B$ meson decays from a Dark Sector containing 2 light unstable scalars, with large couplings to each other and small mixings with Standard Model Higgs scalars. We show that existing constraints allow for an exotic contribution to high multiplicity final states with a branching fraction as large as $\mathcal{O}(10^{-4})$, and that exotic particles could appear as narrow resonances or long lived particles which are mainly found in high multiplicity final states from $B$ decays.

description: We present the results of a set of numerical simulations aimed at studying reionization at galactic scale. We use a high resolution simulation of the formation of the Milky Way-M31 system to simulate the reionization of the local group. The reionization calculation was performed with the post-processing radiative transfer code ATON and the underlying cosmological simulation was performed as part of the CLUES project. We vary the source models to bracket the range of source properties used in the literature. We investigate the structure and propagation of the galatic ionization fronts by a visual examination of our reionization maps. Within the progenitors we find that reionization is patchy, and proceeds locally inside out. The process becomes patchier with decreasing source photon output. It is generally dominated by one major HII region and 1-4 additional isolated smaller bubbles, which eventually overlap. Higher emissivity results in faster and earlier local reionization. In all models, the reionization of the Milky Way and M31 are similar in duration, i.e. between 203 Myr and 22 Myr depending on the source model, placing their zreion between 8.4 and 13.7. In all models except the most extreme, the MW and M31 progenitors reionize internally, ignoring each other, despite being relatively close to each other even during the epoch of reionization. Only in the case of strong supernova feedback suppressing star formation in haloes less massive than 10^9 M_sun, and using our highest emissivity, we find that the MW is reionized by M31.

description: People all around the world travel a lot to meet their needs. A person who is tired, sleepy or drunk while driving may encounter a number of hazards. Autonomous driving has been introduced to ensure the safety and ease driving of commercial operators, drivers and pilots in places where traditional operation of the vehicle is to be replaced. The autonomous driving vehicles face a large number of obstacles. To defy these challenges CAS is used. Autonomous driving is very much dependent on Collision Avoidance System (CAS) and includes a number of algorithms and strategies. This paper addresses the security related issues of autonomous driving vehicles and throws light on the details of CAS implementation on ground and Aerial Vehicles.
Spatially Resolved Emission of a High Redshift DLA Galaxy with the Keck/OSIRIS IFU

description: We present the first Keck/OSIRIS infrared IFU observations of a high redshift damped Lyman-alpha (DLA) galaxy detected in the line of sight to a background quasar. By utilizing the Laser Guide Star Adaptive Optics (LGSAO) to reduce the quasar PSF to FWHM~0.15 arcsec, we were able to search for and map the foreground DLA emission free from the quasar contamination. We present maps of the H-alpha and [OIII] $λλ$ 5007, 4959 emission of DLA 2222-0946 at a redshift of z ~ 2.35. From the composite spectrum over the H-alpha emission region we measure a star formation rate of 9.5 $\pm$ 1.0 M$_{\odot}$ year$^{-1}$ and a dynamical mass, M$_{dyn}$ = 6.1 x 10$^9$ M$_{\odot}$. The average star formation rate surface density is < Σ_{SFR} > = 0.55 M$_{\odot}$ yr$^{-1}$ kpc$^{-2}$, with a central peak of 1.7 M$_{\odot}$ yr$^{-1}$ kpc$^{-2}$. Using the standard Kennicutt-Schmidt relation, this corresponds to a gas mass surface density of $Σ_{gas}$ = 243 M$_{\odot}$ pc$^{-2}$. Integrating over the size of the galaxy we find a total gas mass of M$_{gas}$ = 4.2 x 10$^9$ M$_{\odot}$. We estimate the gas fraction of DLA 2222-0946 to be $f_{gas}$ ~ 40%. We detect [NII]$λ$6583 emission at 2.5 sigma significance with a flux corresponding to a metallicity of 75% solar. Comparing this metallicity with that derived from the low-ion absorption gas ~6 kpc away, ~30% solar, indicates possible evidence for a metallicity gradient or enriched in/outflow of gas. Kinematically, both H-alpha and [OIII] emission show relatively constant velocity fields over the central galactic region. While we detect some red and blueshifted clumps of emission, they do not correspond with rotational signatures that support an edge-on disk interpretation.

description: It is widely accepted that the distribution function of the masses of young star clusters is universal and can be purely interpreted as a probability density distribution function with a constant upper mass limit. As a result of this picture the masses of the most-massive objects are exclusively determined by the size of the sample. Here we show, with very high confidence, that the masses of the most-massive young star clusters in M33 decrease with increasing galactocentric radius in contradiction to the expectations from a model of a randomly sampled constant cluster mass function with a constant upper mass limit. Pure stochastic star formation is thereby ruled out. We use this example to elucidate how naive analysis of data can lead to unphysical conclusions.

description: The family Cactaceae in Arequipa is represented by 56 taxa (21% at national level), being one of the departments with more taxa and endemisms in Peru; however, more effort is needed in the collection, collection of in situ data of their characters and distribution, in order to clarify the taxonomy, improve their representativeness in national herbaria and implement measures for their conservation, so the objective of this study is to determine the diversity, geographical distribution and altitude of the endemic taxa of Cactaceae in Arequipa. To meet these objectives, data were obtained from the main herbaria HSP, F, HUSA, USM, MOL and CUZ; specialized web pages such as TROPICOS, GBIF, SEINet, ABIS and sacha.org; digital herbaria MO, K, NY, US, P (acronyms according to the Index Herbariorum) and data from samples collected in the field in the 8 provinces of Arequipa, from 0 to >4500 m elevation. The results show 43 endemic taxa, grouped in 2 subfamilies, 17 genera and 5 tribes, being the tribes with more than 8 taxa: Trichocereeae (22), Echinocereeae (10) and Cereeae (9); with three genera endemic to Peru: Loxanthocereus, Matucana and Pygmaeocereus; they are distributed in the 8 provinces: Caravelí (24), Arequipa (13), Caylloma (9), Camaná (8), Castilla (8), Islay (8), Condesuyos (7) and La Unión (7); of which 46% are represented in Protected Natural Areas (PNA), which include those managed by the State and private; they inhabit from 10 to 4350 m of elevation, with greater diversity from 1000 to 1499 m of elevation with nearly 40% of diversity. The Arequipa region contains 21.6% of the total endemic cacti considered for Peru.

description: In gravity mediated models and in particular in models with strongly stabilized moduli, there is a natural hierarchy between gaugino masses, the gravitino mass and moduli masses: $m_{1/2} \ll m_{3/2} \ll m_ϕ$. Given this hierarchy, we show that 1) moduli problems associated with excess entropy production from moduli decay and 2) problems associated with moduli/gravitino decays to neutralinos are non-existent. Placed in an inflationary context, we show that the amplitude of moduli oscillations are severely limited by strong stabilization. Moduli oscillations may then never come to dominate the energy density of the Universe. As a consequence, moduli decay to gravitinos and their subsequent decay to neutralinos need not overpopulate the cold dark matter density.

description: Wavefront shaping is a well-known method of restoring a focus deep within scattering media by manipulating the incident light. However, the achievable focus enhancement depends on and is limited by the optical and geometrical properties of the medium. These properties contribute to the number of linearly independent transmission channels for light propagating through the turbid medium. Correlations occur when the number of incident waves coupled into the scattering medium exceeds this finite number of transmission channels. This paper investigates the wavefront shaping of such correlated electric fields. The influence of the observed correlations persists even though the average electric field distribution at positions in the focal plane follows a circular complex Gaussian. We show that correlations of the transmitted electric fields reduce the achievable intensity enhancement, even deep in the turbid medium. The investigations are carried out using a Monte Carlo algorithm. It is based on the speckle statistics of independent waves and introduces correlations of neighbouring electric fields via a Cholesky decomposition of the covariance matrix. Additional investigations include scenarios where the electric fields are not completely randomized, such as for ballistic or insufficiently scattered light. Significant contributions from such little-scattered light are observed to reduce the intensity enhancement further. Data from simulations solving Maxwell’s equations are compared with the results obtained from the Monte Carlo simulations for validation throughout this paper.

description: In their process of information seeking, human users tend to selectively ignore information that contradicts their pre-existing beliefs or opinions. These so-called “self-imposed filter bubbles” (SFBs) pose a significant challenge for argumentative conversational agents aiming to facilitate critical, unbiased opinion formation on controversial topics. With the ultimate goal of developing a system that helps users break their self-imposed filter bubbles (SFBs), this paper aims to investigate the role of co-speech gestures, specifically examining how these gestures significantly contribute to achieving this objective. This paper extends current research by examining methods to engage users in cooperative discussions with a virtual human-like agent, encouraging a deep reflection on arguments to disrupt SFBs. Specifically, we investigate the agent’s non-verbal behavior in the form of co-speech gestures. We analyze whether co-speech gestures, depending on the conveyed information, enhance motivation, and thus conversational user engagement, thereby encouraging users to consider information that could potentially disrupt their SFBs. The findings of a laboratory study with 56 participants highlight the importance of non-verbal agent behaviors, such as co-speech gestures, in improving users’ perceptions of the interaction and the conveyed content. This effect is particularly notable when the content aims to challenge the user’s SFB. Therefore, this research offers valuable insights into enhancing user engagement in the design of multimodal interactions with future cooperative argumentative virtual agents. © In Copyright http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/

description: We report the discovery of two new pulsating extremely low-mass (ELM) white dwarfs (WDs), SDSS J161431.28+191219.4 (hereafter J1614) and SDSS J222859.93+362359.6 (hereafter J2228). Both WDs have masses <0.25 Msun and thus likely harbor helium cores. Spectral fits indicate these are the two coolest pulsating WDs ever found. J1614 has Teff = 8880 +/- 170 K and log g = 6.66 +/- 0.14, which corresponds to a roughly 0.19 Msun WD. J2228 is considerably cooler, with a Teff = 7870 +/- 120 K and log g = 6.03 +/- 0.08, which corresponds to a roughly 0.16 Msun WD, making it the coolest and lowest-mass pulsating WD known. There are multiple ELM WDs with effective temperatures between the warmest and coolest known ELM pulsators that do not pulsate to observable amplitudes, which questions the purity of the instability strip for low-mass WDs. In contrast to the CO-core ZZ Ceti stars, which are believed to represent a stage in the evolution of all such WDs, ELM WDs may not all evolve as a simple cooling sequence through an instability strip. Both stars exhibit long-period variability (1184-6235 s) consistent with non-radial g-mode pulsations. Although ELM WDs are preferentially found in close binary systems, both J1614 and J2228 do not exhibit significant radial-velocity variability, and are perhaps in low-inclination systems or have low-mass companions. These are the fourth and fifth pulsating ELM WDs known, all of which have hydrogen-dominated atmospheres, establishing these objects as a new class of pulsating WD.

description: Shannon's notion of relative information between two physical systems can function as foundation for statistical mechanics and quantum mechanics, without referring to subjectivism or idealism. It can also represent a key missing element in the foundation of the naturalistic picture of the world, providing the conceptual tool for dealing with its apparent limitations. I comment on the relation between these ideas and Democritus.

description: Placing D3 or anti-D3-branes at the tip of the Klebanov-Strassler background results in uplifting the baryonic branch of the moduli space of the dual field theory. In this paper we derive a mass formula for the scalar particle associated with the motion along the baryonic branch, from both open and closed string points of view. We show that both methods give the same mass at linear order in number of (anti)D3-branes, thus providing a comprehensive check for the recently found linearized supergravity solution describing backreacting anti-D3-branes at the tip.

Year: 2022

description: Plastic is one of the discoveries that facilitated human life, as the use of plastic bags in particular has spread greatly due to its ease of use and light weight, but this invention carried great health damages. The past two decades, as plastic and plastics now play an important role in modern life. The collection and disposal of plastic waste has become a major environmental burden and challenges, especially in Oman in particular and the world in general due to its non-degradable nature. Waste from plastic bags represents a great burden on the environment, but it is not biodegradable, so the best way to dispose of it is by burning it. This results in the escalation of chemical compounds that form in the form of a black cloud that leads to air pollution and negatively affects the health of the respiratory system for humans and animals at the same time. The purpose of this study to search how to reduce the rate of plastic waste in the environment, how to take advantage of weed residues to produce environmentally friendly bags. When we read the recent reports of the huge amount of plastic waste floating in our oceans, rivers and lakes, we know that it is time to start finding solutions to this problem. This research will contribute to creating environmentally friendly products with an economic return from the remnants of waste materials that help reduce the percentage of plastic, and also in line with the Oman 2040 vision.

description: Σκοπός της διπλωματικής εργασίας ήταν η εξέταση της θεωρίας του Will Kymlicka για τα δικαιώματα των ζώων. Αρχικά, αναφερθήκαμε σε απόψεις φιλοσόφων της αρχαιότητας και των νεότερων χρόνων, για να θέσουμε το θέμα στην ιστορική του προοπτική. Επιπλέον, αναφερθήκαμε σε θέσεις σύγχρονων φιλοσόφων για να σχηματίσουμε μια εικόνα σχετικά με τους διαφορετικούς τρόπους που προσεγγίζουν το ζήτημα. Έπειτα, αναπτύξαμε τη θεωρία του Kymlicka μέσω της οποίας επιχειρεί μια προσέγγιση του ζητήματος της σχέσης μας με τα άλλα ζώα στην οποία πολιτικές έννοιες όπως πολίτης, μέτοικος, κυρίαρχη κοινότητα, χρησιμοποιούνται για να αντιληφθούμε τις σχεσιακές μας υποχρεώσεις προς τα ζώα. Ολοκληρώσαμε την εργασία μας ασκώντας κριτική σε κάποιες από τις θέσεις που αναπτύσσει και προτείναμε τρία πιο μετριοπαθή πλαίσια, εντός των οποίων θα μπορούσαμε να αντιληφθούμε τις σχεσιακές μας υποχρεώσεις προς τα άλλα ζώα.
description: The aim of the bachelor’s thesis was to examine Will Kymlicka's theory of animal rights. Initially; we referred to the opinions of ancient and modern philosophers in order to put the subject in its historical perspective. In addition; we referred to the positions of contemporary philosophers to form a picture about the different ways they approach the issue. We then developed Kymlicka's theory through which he attempts an approach to the question of our relationship with other animals in which political concepts such as citizen; denizen; sovereign community; are used to understand our relational obligations to animals. We concluded our paper by critiquing some of the positions he develops and then we propose three more modest frameworks within which we might conceive of our relational obligations to other animals.
HiggsBounds-4: Improved Tests of Extended Higgs Sectors against Exclusion Bounds from LEP, the Tevatron and the LHC

description: We describe the new developments in version 4 of the public computer code HiggsBounds. HiggsBounds is a tool to test models with arbitrary Higgs sectors, containing both neutral and charged Higgs bosons, against the published exclusion bounds from Higgs searches at the LEP, Tevatron and LHC experiments. From the model predictions for the Higgs masses, branching ratios, production cross sections and total decay widths - which are specified by the user in the input for the program - the code calculates the predicted signal rates for the search channels considered in the experimental data. The signal rates are compared to the expected and observed cross section limits from the Higgs searches to determine whether a point in the model parameter space is excluded at 95% confidence level. In this document we present a modification of the HiggsBounds main algorithm that extends the exclusion test in order to ensure that it provides useful results in the presence of one or more significant excesses in the data, corresponding to potential Higgs signals. We also describe a new method to test whether the limits from an experimental search performed under certain model assumptions can be applied to a different theoretical model. Further developments discussed here include a framework to take into account theoretical uncertainties on the Higgs mass predictions, and the possibility to obtain the $χ^2$ likelihood of Higgs exclusion limits from LEP. Extensions to the user subroutines from earlier versions of HiggsBounds are described. The new features are demonstrated by additional example programs.

description: We report the results from X-ray studies of the newly discovered black hole candidate MAXI J1305-704 based on Suzaku and Swift observations in the low/hard and high/soft states, respectively. The long Suzaku observation shows two types of clear absorption dips, both of which recur on a dip interval of 9.74 +- 0.04 hours, which we identify with the orbital period. There is also partially ionized absorption in the non-dip (persistent) emission in both the high/soft state and, very unusually, the low/hard state. However, this absorption (in both states) has substantially lower ionization than that seen in other high inclination systems, where the material forms a homogeneous disk wind. Here instead the absorption is most probably associated with clumpy, compact structures associated with the dipping material, which we see uniquely in this source likely because we view it at a very large inclination angle. A large inclination angle is also favored, together with a low black hole mass, to explain the high disk temperature seen in the fairly low luminosity high/soft state, as Doppler boosting enhances the disk temperature at high inclination. The disk radius inferred from these data is significantly smaller than that of the soft component seen in the low/hard state, supporting models where the disk is truncated at low luminosities. We find, however, that the lack of variability power on time scales of ~50 sec in the Suzaku low/hard state data is difficult to explain, even with a low mass black hole.

description: We use the PyNeb 1.1.16 Python package to evaluate the atomic datasets available for the spectral modeling of [Fe II] and [Fe III], which list level energies, A-values, and effective collision strengths. Most datasets are reconstructed from the sources, and new ones are incorporated to be compared with observed and measured benchmarks. For [Fe III], we arrive at conclusive results that allow us to select the default datasets, while for [Fe II], the conspicuous temperature dependency on the collisional data becomes a deterrent. This dependency is mainly due to the singularly low critical density of the $\mathrm{3d^7\ a\,^4F_{9/2}}$ metastable level that strongly depends on both the radiative and collisional data, although the level populating by fluorescence pumping from the stellar continuum cannot be ruled out. A new version of PyNeb (1.1.17) is released containing the evaluated datasets.
