description: Acquiring near-infrared K-band (2.2 um) photometry for RR Lyrae variables in globular clusters and nearby galaxies is advantageous since the resulting distances are less impacted by reddening and metallicity. However, K-band photometry for RR Lyrae variables in M5, Reticulum, M92, omega Cen, and M15 display clustercentric trends. HST ACS data imply that multiple stars in close proximity to RR Lyrae variables located near the cluster core, where the stellar density increases markedly, are generally unresolved in ground-based images. RR Lyrae variables near the cluster cores appear to suffer from photometric contamination, thereby yielding underestimated cluster distances and biased ages. The impact is particularly pernicious since the contamination propagates a systematic uncertainty into the distance scale, and hinders the quest for precision cosmology. The clustercentric trends are probably unassociated with variations in chemical composition since an empirical K-band period-magnitude relation inferred from Araucaria/VLT data for RR Lyrae variables in the Sculptor dSph exhibits a negligible metallicity dependence: (0.059+-0.095)[Fe/H], a finding that supports prior observational results. A future multi-epoch high-resolution near-infrared survey, analogous to the optical HST ACS Galactic Globular Cluster Survey, may be employed to establish K-band photometry for the contaminating stars discussed here.

description: The teaching of languages represents a fundamental tool for the formation of the individual, ensuring active participation in European citizenship. In this paper we will attempt to illustrate the results of a study and research path, centred on the European Union and carried out in the context of the transversal teaching of Civic Education aimed at Italian-speaking students in a fifth-year secondary school class, to be transferred to the multimedia teaching of Italian L2 for foreign students in mobility at the Basilicata University. The path in question ended with the realisation, by the students, of the multimedia product entitled “A window on Europe: students today and citizens tomorrow”. L’insegnamento delle lingue rappresenta uno strumento fondamentale per la formazione dell’individuo assicurandogli una partecipazione attiva alla cittadinanza europea. In questo contributo si cercherà di illustrare i risultati di un percorso di studio e di ricerca, incentrato sull’Unione Europea e svolto nell’àmbito dell’insegnamento trasversale dell’Educazione Civica rivolto a studenti italofoni di una classe quinta della scuola secondaria di secondo grado, da trasferire in contesti di insegnamento multimediale dell’italiano L2 per studenti stranieri in mobilità presso l’Università degli Studi della Basilicata. Il percorso in questione si è concluso con la realizzazione, da parte degli studenti, del prodotto multimediale intitolato “Una finestra sull’Europa: studenti oggi e cittadini domani”.

title: Global Conservation Status and Threat Patterns of the World’s Most Prominent Forage Fishes (Teleostei, Clupeiformes)

Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries

description: Conserving biodiversity is one of the greatest ethical responsibilities and challenges humans face. Understanding the conservation status of taxonomic groups provides a systematic way to prioritize efforts to combat biodiversity loss. The 405 species within the order Clupeiformes are the herrings, shads, sardines, anchovies, menhadens and relatives that include many of the most important marine forage fishes. These small, schooling fishes are economically, ecologically and culturally significant globally. Despite their contribution to global fisheries and our increasing reliance on these fishes for food and industrial commodities, they are generally poorly known with limited information regarding basic biology and population trends. I applied IUCN Red List methodology, a comprehensive and systematic approach to assessing extinction risk of species, to all clupeiform species. I then used these assessments to synthesize and address their global conservation status and to highlight the potential for improvements to conservation and fisheries management. The best estimate of nearly 11% of species are of elevated conservation concern, although this could be as high as 34% if Data Deficient species are all threatened. The Caribbean and the Indo-Malay-Philippine Archipelago both have high concentrations of either threatened or Data Deficient species and are areas of particular conservation concern. Major threats include exploitation, pollution and habitat modification for human use although the intensity of a specific threat differs between freshwater, estuarine and marine environments. Life history and ecological traits of threatened and Near Threatened species were characterized between primary habitat systems. Immediate conservation priorities include: 1) the evaluation of current fisheries management strategies, with a strong recommendation toward ecosystem-based management protocols that incorporate group-specific life history traits, and 2) local, intensive habitat restoration to reduce pollution and remove dams. These extinction risk assessments and subsequent analyses should be used to monitor conservation progress and as an informative tool for fisheries and conservation managers.

description: Very old halo stars were previously found to show at least four different abundance 'anomalies', which models of fast rotating massive stars (spinstars) can successfully account for: rise of N/O and C/O, low 12C/13C and a primary-like evolution of Be and B. Here we show the impact of these same stars in the enrichment of Sr and Ba in the early Universe. We study if the s-process production of fast rotating massive stars can offer an explanation for the observed spread in [Sr/Ba] ratio in halo stars with metallicity [Fe/H]< -2.5. By means of a chemical inhomogeneous model we compute the enrichment of Sr and Ba by massive stars in the Galactic halo. Our model takes into account, for the first time, the contribution of spinstars. Our model (combining an r-process contribution with a s-process from fast rotating massive stars) is able to reproduce for the first time the observed scatter in the [Sr/Ba] ratio at [Fe/H]< -2.5. Toward higher metallicities, the stochasticity of the star formation fades away due to the increasing number of exploding and enriching stars, and as a consequence the predicted scatter decreases. Our scenario is again based on the existence of spinstars in the early Universe. Very old halo stars were previously found to show at least four other abundance 'anomalies', which rotating models of massive stars can successfully account for. Our results provide a 5th independent signature of the existence of fast rotating massive stars: an early enrichment of the Universe in s-process elements.

On transverse stability of discrete line solitons

Subjects: subject: Pattern Formation and Solitons (nlin.PS)

description: We obtain sharp criteria for transverse stability and instability of line solitons in the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equations on one- and two-dimensional lattices near the anti-continuum limit. On a two-dimensional lattice, the fundamental line soliton is proved to be transversely stable (unstable) when it bifurcates from the $X$ ($Γ$) point of the dispersion surface. On a one-dimensional (stripe) lattice, the fundamental line soliton is proved to be transversely unstable for both signs of transverse dispersion. If this transverse dispersion has the opposite sign to the discrete dispersion, the instability is caused by a resonance between isolated eigenvalues of negative energy and the continuous spectrum of positive energy. These results hold for both focusing and defocusing nonlinearities via a staggering transformation. When the line soliton is transversely unstable, asymptotic expressions for unstable eigenvalues are also derived. These analytical results are compared with numerical results, and perfect agreement is obtained.

description: Mutations or multiplications of the SNCA (Synuclein Alpha) gene cause rare autosomal dominant Parkinson’s disease (PD). The SNCA G51D missense mutation is associated with a synucleinopathy that shares PD and multiple system atrophy (MSA) characteristics. We generated induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines from two individuals with SNCA G51D missense mutations at risk of PD. Dermal fibroblasts were reprogrammed to pluripotency using a non-integrating mRNA-based protocol. The resulting human iPSCs displayed normal morphology, expressed markers associated with pluripotency, and differentiated into the three germ layers. The iPSC lines could facilitate disease-modelling and therapy development studies for synucleinopathies.

description: Experimental methods based on single particle tracking (SPT) are being increasingly employed in the physical and biological sciences, where nanoscale objects are visualized with high temporal and spatial resolution. SPT can probe interactions between a particle and its environment but the price to be paid is the absence of ensemble averaging and a consequent lack of statistics. Here we address the benchmark question of how to accurately extract the diffusion constant of one single Brownian trajectory. We analyze a class of estimators based on weighted functionals of the square displacement. For a certain choice of the weight function these functionals provide the true ensemble averaged diffusion coefficient, with a precision that increases with the trajectory resolution.

title: Extension of a Penalty Method for Numerically Solving Constrained Multibody Dynamic Problems
Creators: name: Newhart, Troy
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: Numerical analysis of constrained static and multibody dynamic systems has become an integral part of engineering analysis with the continued improvements in technology and software availability. Many methods currently exist for numerically solving constrained static and dynamic systems. The applicability of a penalty method for constrained static solutions is observed in many academic texts and papers. The appeal for using a penalty method in statics pertains to its ease of implementation, computational suitability, and accuracy. This thesis extends a static penalty method for use with constrained multibody dynamics to observe if the penalty method’s benefits are similar for a dynamics solution.

This thesis discusses formulations that are used in extending the static penalty method for use with constrained multibody dynamics. Example problems are then solved using the static penalty method and compared with a projection method. Example problems are selected to provide a solid foundation for implementing the static penalty method with many other constrained multibody systems. Constraints are purely holonomic for simplification of problem statements.

The goal of this thesis was met, in that the static penalty method is successfully applied to constrained multibody systems with favorable results. In comparing the penalty method with a projection method for each example, computational time and accuracy are comparable. Coding of the penalty method is found to be no more difficult than that of the projection method. The static penalty method is shown to be useful in solving constrained multibody dynamics. Application of the penalty method was not tested with non-holonomic constraints. Future work is necessary to assess the penalty method’s applicability with non-holonomic constraints, as well as increasingly complex multibody dynamic systems.
Axial anomaly and the triality symmetry of octonion

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: With an assumption that in the Yang-Mills Lagrangian, a left-handed fermion and a right-handed fermion both expressed as the quaternion makes an octonion, and the gauge field can be treated as self-dual, we calculate the axial current and two vector currents triangle diagram of Bardeen, which yields the contribution of the axial anomaly. The octonion possesses the triality symmetry, and there are 5 symmetry operations $G_{ij}$ and $G_{ijk}$ ($ijk=123)$, in which mixing of spinors and vectors occur. $G_{23}$ does not mix vectors and spinors, but mismatch of the spinor and vector fields occurs. Hence, electro magnetic (EM) wave emitted from galaxies transformed by the five transformations would not be detected by EM detectors in our galaxy, and the source would be regarded as dark matter. The axial anomaly appears as a reflection of the symmetry of the matter field and not as a reflection of the symmetry of the pure vacuum, which is consistent with recent arguments on condensates and confinement.

title: From Compassion to Resistance: Lesbos Refugee Crisis
Creators: name: Diaz, Luz
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: “What would I do if I wasn’t given freedom? I would protest every day.” This illustrates the empathy that locals in Lesbos shared with the struggles of refugees when the European Refugee Crisis arrived on the shores of Lesbos in 2015. Locals on the island helped refugees get off boats—or saved them from the water—and offered to take them to the city center to claim asylum. But soon, with the arrival of humanitarian aid organizations, life on Lesbos changed considerably. Meanwhile, refugees continue to sit in camps that are over capacity to await asylum processing. Echoing the frustration on the island, people lament that “Nobody cares about the people [of Lesbos].”

This thesis is focused on the significance of ensuring that the needs and sentiments of the refugee host community of Lesbos is better understood by the Greek government, the European Union, and by the non-governmental organizations. Frustration and resistance continue to rise as migrants remained trapped on the island and thousands more arrive to the backlog of cases. Lesbos took in refugees from all over the world, first as a gateway to Europe and now as an asylum processing detention center. Locals felt shut out of decision-making about the crisis and from the outside are often viewed as uncompassionate or even hostile. This thesis contributes to studies of host communities by illuminating the varying sentiments towards refugees by locals as they witnessed one of the largest migrations into Europe in recent history. Integrating the perspective of host community members into migration policy is critical for ensuring that humanitarian aid agencies and governments can manage tensions between locals, non-governmental organizations, and migrants to meet the unique needs of all parties and minimize the risk for violence.

description: Imaging and computer vision systems deployed in real-world environments face the challenge of accommodating a wide range of lighting conditions. However, the cost, the demand for high resolution, and the miniaturization of imaging devices impose physical constraints on sensor design, limiting both the dynamic range and effective aperture size of each pixel. Consequently, conventional CMOS sensors fail to deliver satisfactory capture in high dynamic range scenes or under photon-limited conditions, thereby impacting the performance of downstream vision tasks. In this thesis, we address two key problems: 1) exploring the utilization of spatial multiplexing, specifically spatially varying exposure tiling, to extend sensor dynamic range and optimize scene capture, and 2) developing techniques to enhance the robustness of object detection systems under photon-limited conditions.
 In addition to challenges imposed by natural environments, real-world vision systems are susceptible to adversarial attacks in the form of artificially added digital content. Therefore, this thesis presents a comprehensive pipeline for constructing a robust and scalable system to counter such attacks.
The emergence of super-canonical stars in R136-type star-burst clusters

description: [abridged] Among the most remarkable features of the stellar population of R136, the central, young, massive star cluster in the 30 Doradus complex of the Large Magellanic Cloud, are the single stars whose masses substantially exceed the canonical stellar upper mass limit of 150 M_sun. A recent study by us, viz., that of Banerjee, Kroupa & Oh (2012; Paper I), which involves realistic N-body computations of star clusters mimicking R136, indicates that such "super-canonical" (SC) stars can be formed out of a dense stellar population with a canonical initial mass function (IMF) through dynamically induced mergers of the most massive binaries. Here we study the formation of SC stars in the R136 models of Paper I in detail. To avoid forming extraneous SC stars from initially highly eccentric primordial binaries as in Paper I, we compute additional models with only initially circular primordial binaries. We also take into account the mass-evolution of the SC stars using detailed stellar evolutionary models that incorporate updated treatments of stellar winds. We find that SC stars begin to form via dynamical mergers of massive binaries from approx. 1 Myr cluster age. We obtain SC stars with initial masses up to approx. 250 M_sun from these computations. Multiple SC stars are found to remain bound to the cluster simultaneously within a SC-lifetime. These properties of the dynamically formed SC stars are consistent with those observed in R136. In fact, the stellar evolutionary models of SC stars imply that had they formed primordially along with the rest of the R136 cluster, i.e., violating the canonical upper limit, they would have evolved below the canonical 150 M_sun limit by approx. 3 Myr, the likely age of R136, and would not have been observable as SC stars at the present time in R136. This strongly supports the dynamical formation scenario of the observed SC stars in R136.

description: We present an approach to calculation of point defect optical and thermal ionization energies based on the highly accurate quantum Monte Carlo methods. The use of an inherently many-body theory that directly treats electron correlation offers many improvements over the typically-employed density functional theory Kohn-Sham description. In particular, the use of quantum Monte Carlo methods can help overcome the band gap problem and obviate the need for ad-hoc corrections. We demonstrate our approach to the calculation of the optical and thermal ionization energies of the F-center defect in magnesium oxide, and obtain excellent agreement with experimental and/or other high-accuracy computational results.

description: To date, the question of which progenitor channel can reproduce the observed rate of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) remains unresolved, with the single and double degenerate scenarios remaining the leading contenders. The former implies a large population of hot accreting white dwarfs with photospheric temperatures of T ~ 10^5-10^6 K during some part of their accretion history. We show that in early-type galaxies, a population of accreting white dwarfs large enough to reproduce the SN Ia rate would contribute significantly to the ionizing UV radiation expected from the stellar population. For mean stellar ages < ~5 Gyr, single degenerate progenitors would dominate the ionizing background produced by stars, increasing the continuum beyond the He II-ionizing limit more than ten-fold. This opens a new avenue for constraining the progenitors of SNe Ia, through consideration of the spatially extended low-ionization emission-line regions now found in many early-type galaxies. Modelling the expected emission, we show that one can constrain the contribution of the single degenerate channel to the SN Ia rate in E/S0 galaxies from upper limits on the luminosity of He II recombination lines in the optical and FUV. We discuss future directions, as well as possible implications for the evolution of SNe Ia in old stellar populations.

description: Protostars grow in mass by accreting material through their discs, and this accretion is initially their main source of luminosity. The resulting radiative feedback heats the environments of young protostars, and may thereby suppress further fragmentation and star formation. There is growing evidence that the accretion of material onto protostars is episodic rather than continuous; most of it happens in short bursts that last up to a few hundred years, whereas the intervals between these outbursts of accretion could be thousands of years. We have developed a model to include the effects of episodic accretion in simulations of star formation. Episodic accretion results in episodic radiative feedback, which heats and temporarily stabilises the disc, suppressing the growth of gravitational instabilities. However, once an outburst has been terminated, the luminosity of the protostar is low, and the disc cools rapidly. Provided that there is enough time between successive outbursts, the disc may become gravitationally unstable and fragment. The model suggests that episodic accretion may allow disc fragmentation if (i) the time between successive outbursts is longer than the dynamical timescale for the growth of gravitational instabilities (a few kyr), and (ii) the quiescent accretion rate onto the protostar is sufficiently low (at most a few times 1e-7 Msun/yr). We also find that after a few protostars form in the disc, their own episodic accretion events shorten the intervals between successive outbursts, and sup- press further fragmentation, thus limiting the number of objects forming in the disc. We conclude that episodic accretion moderates the effect of radiative feedback from young protostars on their environments, and, under certain conditions, allows the formation of low-mass stars, brown dwarfs, and planetary-mass objects by fragmentation of protostellar discs.

description: The first AMS-02 measurement confirms the existence of an excess in the cosmic-ray positron fraction previously reported by the PAMELA and Fermi-LAT experiments. If interpreted in terms of thermal dark matter (DM) annihilation, the AMS-02 result still suggests that the DM annihilation cross section in the present day should be significantly larger than that at freeze out. The Sommerfeld enhancement of DM annihilation cross section as a possible explanation for the observed excesses is subject to constraint from the DM thermal relic density, mainly due to the annihilation of DM particles into force-carrier particles introduced by the mechanism. We show that the effect of the Sommerfeld enhancement and the relic density constraint depend significantly on the nature of the force-carrier. Three cases where the force-carrier is a vector boson, scalar and pseudoscalar particle are investigated and compared with each other. The results show that for the vector force-carrier, the Sommerfeld enhancement can marginally account for the AMS-02 data for $2μ$ final states, while for scalar force-carrier the allowed Sommerfeld enhancement can be larger by a factor of two. For the case with a pesudoscalar force-carrier, the Sommerfeld enhancement can be large enough to accommodate the AMS-02 and Fermi-LAT result for a variety of DM annihilation final states.

description: We present the first catalogue of known variable stars in open cluster regions and with up to two times the given cluster radius. This gives basic information about the distribution of variable stars in cluster fields for the complete sky. Knowledge of the variable star contents in open clusters is a significant advantage in their study. Analysing variability of cluster members and fields stars as well, allows us to study the characteristics of stars and clusters together. This catalogue of variable stars in open cluster fields is the first step in supporting such studies. We took all variable and suspected variable stars into account from the most complete collection, "The AAVSO Variable Star Index", and did a cross-match of these stars with the most complete catalogue of galactic open clusters named DAML02. Our on-line catalogue presently contains 18 065 variable stars. We present the basic statistical distribution according to types of variability.

Are Lines From Unassociated Gamma-Ray Sources Evidence For Dark Matter Annihilation?

description: Very recently, it was pointed out that there exists a population of gamma-ray sources without associations at other wavelengths which exhibit spectral features consistent with mono-energetic lines at energies of approximately 111 and 129 GeV. Given recent evidence of similar gamma-ray lines from the Inner Galaxy, it is tempting to interpret these unassociated sources as nearby dark matter subhalos, powered by ongoing annihilations. In this paper, we study the spectrum, luminosity, and angular distribution of these sources, with the intention of testing the hypothesis that they are, in fact, dark matter subhalos. We find that of the 12 sources containing at least one prospective line photon, only 2 exhibit an overall gamma-ray spectrum which is consistent with that predicted from dark matter annihilations (2FGL J2351.6-7558 and 2FGL J0555.9-4348). After discounting the 10 clearly non-dark matter sources, the statistical significance of the remaining two prospective line photons is negligible. That being said, we cannot rule out the possibility that either or both of these sources are dark matter subhalos; their overall luminosity and galactic latitude distribution are not inconsistent with a dark matter origin.

description: Pulse position modulation (PPM) is a popular signal modulation technique which creates M-ary data by means of the position of a pulse within a time interval. While PPM and its variations have great advantages in many contexts, this type of modulation is vulnerable to loss of synchronization, potentially causing a severe error floor or throughput penalty even when little or no noise is assumed. Another disadvantage is that this type of modulation typically offers no error correction mechanism on its own, making them sensitive to intersymbol interference and environmental noise. In this paper we propose a coding theoretic variation of PPM that allows for significantly more efficient symbol and frame synchronization as well as strong error correction. The proposed scheme can be divided into a synchronization layer and a modulation layer. This makes our technique compatible with major existing techniques such as standard PPM, multipluse PPM, and expurgated PPM as well in that the scheme can be realized by adding a simple synchronization layer to one of these standard techniques. We also develop a generalization of expurgated PPM suited for the modulation layer of the proposed self-synchronizing modulation scheme. This generalized PPM can also be used as stand-alone error-correcting PPM with a larger number of available symbols.
