Shape, shear & flexion: An analytic flexion formalism for realistic mass profiles

Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)

description: Flexion is a non-linear gravitational lensing effect that arises from gradients in the convergence and shear across an image. We derive a formalism that describes non-linear gravitational lensing by a circularly symmetric lens in the thin-lens approximation. This provides us with relatively simple expressions for first- and second-flexion in terms of only the surface density and projected mass distribution of the lens. We give details of exact lens models, in particular providing flexion calculations for a Sersic-law profile, which has become increasingly popular over recent years. We further provide a single resource for the analytic forms of convergence, shear, first- and second-flexion for the following mass distributions: a point mass, singular isothermal sphere (SIS); Navarro-Frenk-White (NFW) profile; Sersic-law profile. We quantitatively compare these mass distributions and show that the convergence and first-flexion are better indicators of the Sersic shape parameter, while for the concentration of NFW profiles the shear and second-flexion terms are preferred.

Exploring the process of sustaining improvements within quality improvement initiatives
Creators: name: Lennox, Laura
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: Sustainability of improvement initiatives is recognised as a significant challenge to improving quality in healthcare. Rising demands and limited resources have highlighted the need to understand how sustainability can be supported, to maximise investments and benefits for patients. Unfortunately, relatively little is known about how to support sustainability in practice. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how healthcare teams influence sustainability of improvement initiatives during the course of implementation and beyond. A longitudinal mixed methods study was conducted to explore how structured approaches such as tools and frameworks can support sustainability. The application of one such tool, The Long Term Success Tool (LTST), was investigated across multiple QI programmes. The LTST was shown to be associated with a number of benefits (collaborative working, decision making, action planning, and reflection) but also a number of challenges (isolation, critical reflection, confusion, and inability to act). These findings highlight the complex nature of applying approaches in practice and the need to thoughtfully consider their impact and facilitation. To explore how improvement teams influence sustainability throughout initiatives, four case studies were examined. Results demonstrate that the process of sustaining is an ongoing cycle, requiring teams to respond, adapt, and learn continuously. Analysis identified common challenges impacting sustainability: workforce stability, initiative impact, organisational priorities, workload distribution, and patient & public support. To address these challenges, twelve strategies for navigating sustainability in complex systems were employed. These strategies provide tangible actions for consideration by future initiatives to enhance and promote sustainability in other settings. Healthcare organisations cannot afford to waste resources. Initiatives must be supported to enhance sustainability where possible; therefore, sustainability research should be prioritised. This emphasises the importance of the contributions made within this thesis, which provide a stepping stone for future research in this area to be conducted.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. An overview of the activities of Working Group on Harmful Algal Bloom Dynamics WGHABD is presented. The group is a forum for ICES and UNESCO-IOC to review and discuss HAB events and to provide advice and updates on the state of HABs in the region. It also facilitates interaction between scientists working in diverse areas of HAB science and monitoring. WGHABD reports both to ICES and to the UNESCO-IOC Intergovernmental Panel on Harmful Algal Blooms (IPHAB). Harmful Algal Blooms is a global problem and can cause substantial economic, societal, and human health problems. Certain algae produce toxins, and filter feeders such as shellfish accumulate these toxins when feeding. Humans and other organisms become ill or even die after eating the shellfish. Syndromes are named Diarrhetic Shellfish Poisoning (DSP), Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning (PSP) etc. Another example is algae that cause fish mortalities due to damage of the gills. Other algae cause oxygen deficiency or are a nuisance during mass occurrences. Some bottom dwelling microalgae produce toxins that may also accumulate in fish. HAB development is influenced by physical oceanographic processes as well as factors such as nutrient input and interactions with grazers. Global change is also affecting HABs. Information on HABs and their effects is available in the Harmful Algal Bloom Event Database. Maps on the distribution of HAB species and HAB events are also produced.
Behaviour and design of structural stainless steel members under concentrated transverse forces
Creators: name: Dos Santos, Gabriel Barros
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: Stainless steel is gaining increasing use in structural engineering applications due to its corrosion resistance, low maintenance costs, high recyclability, aesthetic appeal, excellent fire resistance and favourable structural properties. The stress-strain behaviour of stainless steels differs fundamentally from that of carbon steel: stainless steel has a more rounded response with no clear yield point and significant strain hardening. This has a profound effect on the structural behaviour of stainless steel elements. The aim of this work is to investigate the behaviour of stainless steel I-sections under concentrated transverse loading and to develop design rules that reflect the particular characteristics of the material. Concentrated transverse loading is a load case where a force acts perpendicular to the flange of a girder over a relatively small area, causing local failure of the web beneath the load and flange bending. The current design code for structural stainless steel elements, namely Eurocode 3: Part 1.4, adopts the same design expressions for stainless steel as for carbon steel for such loading conditions. A comprehensive experimental and numerical investigation has therefore been conducted to evaluate the existing provisions and propose new design rules. A total of 34 member tests and over 500 finite element simulations have been performed covering three types of concentrated transverse loading – internal one-flange, internal two-flange and end one-flange loading, three stainless steel grades – austenitic, duplex and ferritic and a range of the key influential parameters. The results showed that the existing design recommendations are conservative and that there is considerable scope for the development of more economical design guidance. The new design equations offer 10% - 20% improvements in capacity predictions over the current design formulae. An alternative design approach, based on numerically generated reference loads, namely the elastic buckling and plastic collapse load under concentrated loading, in conjunction with strength curves, has also been proposed. This required the development of a consistent method for the numerical determination of plastic collapse loads, which is known to be challenging for the complex failure modes associated with localised loading. The reliability of both proposed design approaches have been verified by means of statistical analyses in accordance with EN 1990.

Symmetric-Bounce Quantum State of the Universe

description: A proposal is made for the quantum state of the universe that has an initial state that is macroscopically time symmetric about a homogeneous, isotropic bounce of extremal volume and that at that bounce is microscopically in the ground state for inhomogeneous and/or anisotropic perturbation modes. The coarse-grained entropy is minimum at the bounce and then grows during inflation as the modes become excited away from the bounce and interact (assuming the presence of an inflaton, and in the part of the quantum state in which the inflaton is initially large enough to drive inflation). The part of this pure quantum state that dominates for observations is well approximated by quantum processes occurring within a Lorentzian expanding macroscopic universe. Because this part of the quantum state has no negative Euclidean action, one can avoid the early-time Boltzmann brains and Boltzmann solar systems that appear to dominate observations in the Hartle-Hawking no-boundary wavefunction.

A commercial fisheries production function : the Skeena River sockey salmon gillnet fishery
Creators: name: Roberts, Richard Frederick Anthony
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The production functions commonly suggested in the fishery bio-economic literature are reviewed, and modifications are suggested to take into account direct and indirect gear externalities and gear saturation effects in a salmon gillnet fishery. This suggests a daily production function of the Cobb-Douglas variety, tested on Skeena River sockeye salmon data. Using the daily production function, a seasonal model is developed, which reflects the intra-seasonal peaking nature of the run, and the multiple day stock removal effect. The properties of this function are analysed, and to demonstrate the significance of the function, its shape is used to indicate the direction of bias in the Crutchfield and Pontecorvo estimates of dissipated rent in Bristol Bay and Puget Sound.
Symmetry and topological phases in condensed matter and beyond
Creators: name: Lieu, Simon Kin-Wei
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: Topological phase transitions represent a new paradigm beyond conventional Landau-Ginzburg symmetry breaking. Even in the absence of symmetry breaking, the symmetries of a Hamiltonian play an important role in stabilizing topological signatures. In this thesis, we will study the interplay between symmetry and topology in many-body systems, with three distinct physical setups in mind. First, we investigate a two-dimensional system of ultracold bosons which is condensed in the p-band of a triangular lattice. Certain smooth interaction profiles result in non-Abelian symmetry generators of the order parameter manifold, leading to anomalous physical consequences. These include a lack of Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition due to unstable vortex configurations, additional Goldstone modes, and a marginally divergent normal fluid density which implies lack of superfluidity in the thermodynamic limit. Our results suggest possible connections to solid state experiments on 4He films. We then show that disorder which keeps a Hamiltonian in the same Altland-Zirnbauer symmetry class is capable of inducing a topological transition. This is achieved by considering the normalizability of Majorana edge modes in a topological superconductor, and corroborated with entanglement metrics. While degeneracies of the many-body spectrum are robust with respect to weak perturbations, strong disorder can both promote and destroy a topological index. Lastly, we study topological edge modes and degeneracies in atomic, molecular, and optical systems which evolve non-unitarily in time or space due to non-equilibrium effects, including: condensate instabilities after a quench, decoherence channels from an external environment, and dissipation into a medium. Mathematically, the non-unitary evolution is generated by effective Hamiltonians which break Hermiticity. These systems can possess uniquely non-Hermitian symmetries which are absent from equilibrium counterparts. We present a symmetry-based classification, and investigate several systems which can be solved exactly.

Innanzi tutto, ne proporrò una definizione e tratteggerò gli elementi caratterizzanti, che individuo nella difesa di una forma di realismo naturalistico in metaetica, in risposta a non-cognitivismo ed emotivismo e nella riconciliazione di legge naturale e centralità delle virtù sul piano normativo, in opposizione a deontologismo ed utilitarismo. Poi, ripercorrerò, alla luce di questa caratterizzazione, la proposta etica di Alasdair MacIntyre. Mostrerò, in particolare, come in MacIntyre il plesso concettuale costituito da virtù, natura umana e legge naturale sia elaborato in una sintesi teorica particolarmente felice e feconda, specie se considerata in relazione ad analoghi tentativi da parte di autori anch’essi ascrivibili all’etica del tomismo analitico, al punto di poterlo considerare l’autore paradigmatico di tale corrente.

description: A new approach utilising the concept of ionic charge theory has been used to explain the inherent properties such as lattice thermal conductivity and bulk modulus of 3,5 and 2,6 semiconductors. The lattice thermal conductivity of these semiconductors exhibit a linear relationship when plotted on a log scale against the nearest neighbour distance but fall on two straight lines according to the product of the ionic charge of the compounds. On the basis of this result a simple relationship of lattice thermal conductivity with bulk modulus is proposed and used to estimate the bulk modulus of these semiconductors. A fairly good agreement has been found between the experimantal and calculated values of these parameters for zinc blende structured solids.

Studies on the polarization transfer coefficients C_x and C_z in the gamma p -> K^+ Lambda(1520,3/2^-) reaction process

description: We investigate the polarization transfer coefficients C_(x,z) for the gamma p -> K^+ Lambda(1520,3/2^-) reaction process, in which the photon is polarized circularly and the Lambda(1520,3/2^-) along the x- or z-axis. To this end, we employ the effective Lagrangian method at tree level and the gauge-invariant form factor scheme. In addition to the Born terms, (s,u,t_K,t_K^*)-channels and contact term, we include the nucleon resonance D_{13}(2080) in the s-channel. We compute the C_(x,z) as functions of theta_K as well as E_cm. It turns out that the K^*-exchange and D_{13} contributions are negligible within available experimental and theoretical inputs for them. In contrast, we observe that the contact and K-exchange contributions play dominant roles for determining the C_(x,z). Especially, the $K$-exchange enhances the transverse polarization transfer C_x considerably.

description: Recently it has been shown that despite previous claims the cosmological constant affects light bending. In the present article we study light bending and the advance of Mercury's perihelion in the context of the Newtonian limit of Schwarzschild-de Sitter spacetime employing the special relativistic equivalence of mass and energy. In both cases, up to a constant factor, we find the same results as in the full general relativistic treatment of the same phenomena. These approximate and intuitive arguments demonstrate clearly what effects should have been expected from the presence of $Λ$ in the general relativistic treatment of these phenomena.

description: Acetylcholine was first synthesized by Baeyer in 1867. At the same time it was only of chemical interest but decades later its powerful pharmacological effects were noted: Hunt and Taveau pointed out the role of acetylcholine in lowering blood-pressure (1). Dale and his co-workers demonstrated that acetylcholine is a chemical mediator of the nerve impulses at parasympathetic endings (2). Thus the notion of chemical mediation that had been introduced by Elliot in respect of adrenalin (3) was extended to the physiology of ganglionic synapses and neuromuscular junctions (4). This hypothesis met with some opposition among neurophysiologists; objections to it were reviewed by Eccles (5). For example stransmission or nerve impulses across the neuromuscular junctions and synapses occurs within milliseconds and chemical mediation by acetylcholine cannot explain this phenomenon. Fulton (6) and Erlanger (7) considered the extremely short interval for the effect of the axon-potential which would preclude the intervention of any process dependent upon substances released at the nerve endings. Early hypotheses of chemical mediation were based on experiments which employed methods of classical physiology and saccording to Naohmansohn and his co-workers, did not permit an interpretation of the precise function of the ester in the physiochemical mechanism of the propogation of nerve impulses. Using suitable methods for recording cellular functions such as conduction of nerve impulses (8,9), Nachmansohn and his school came to the following conolusions(10): The ester is released at the neuronal surface when a stimulus reaches the nerve cell. Bythe action of acetylcholine the permeability of the membrane to ions is increased and depolarization ' Occurs. The depolarized point becomes negative to the adjacent region and a flow of current is generated. This flow of current transmits the impulse to a neighbouring point where more acetylcholine is released. The process is repeated and in this way the impulse is propagated. As the propagation of the nerve impulse hinges. on the release and disappearance of the ester, the enzyme responsible for the catalysis of the latter reaction attracted interest. The aim of the work described in this part of the Thesis was to isolate or purify the acetylcholine hydrolysing enzyme of the sheep brain, a material which had received little attention so far. The question whether the tissue chosen was suitable for the isolation of the enzyme may be considered through a brief survey of the distribution of the enzyme.

Х.И. Сиджах в труде «В вихре конных атак» исследовал уникальные стратегические приемы адыгской кавалерии. Музейные мероприятия, такие как выставка в Российской государственном архиве социально-политической истории, продолжают обогащать понимание общественности о значении казачества и его взаимодействии с историческими событиями, что способствует сохранению многогранной исторической памяти. 

Abstract: The article examines the historical and cultural significance of the Kuban Cossacks. Based on the analysis of G.L. Voskoboinikov's monograph "Cossacks and Cavalry during the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945", it is stated that in 1943, Cossack units played a key role in the successes of the Red Army due to their mobility and courage. H.I. Sidzhakh in his work "In the Whirlwind of Horse Attacks" examined the unique strategic techniques of the Adyghe cavalry. Museum events, such as the exhibition at the Russian State Archive of Socio-Political History, continue to enrich the public's understanding of the significance of the Cossacks and their interaction with historical events, which contributes to the preservation of multifaceted historical memory.

description: We derive a compact all-loop-order expression for the IR-divergent part of the N=4 SYM four-gluon amplitude, which includes both planar and all subleading-color contributions, based on the assumption that the higher-loop soft anomalous dimension matrices are proportional to the one-loop soft anomalous dimension matrix, as has been recently conjectured. We also consider the Regge limit of the four-gluon amplitude, and we present evidence that the leading logarithmic growth of the subleading-color amplitudes is less severe than that of the planar amplitudes. We examine possible 1/N^2 corrections to the gluon Regge trajectory, previously obtained in the planar limit from the BDS ansatz. The double-trace amplitudes have Regge behavior as well, with a nonsense-choosing Regge trajectory and a Regge cut which first emerges at three loops.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. During 1970s–early 80s reproduction of cod, the most abundant predator in the Baltic Sea, intensified for years of entering major salt water inflows (MBI) in Gotland Basin. After climate shift in 1988-1992 major inflows 1993 and 2003 affected insignificantly the cod spawning in that area despite a positive influence in the southern Baltic. The analysis of ambient cod reproduction conditions was carried out for some years with MBIs occurrence both before (1976-1977) and after (1994-1995, 2003-2004) the climate shift. The seasonal depth of 11psu-isohaline, oxygen content and reproductive layer thickness were estimated at standard stations BY9 and BY15. Reproductive success was evaluated via the mean cod egg abundance in Southern and Central Gotland Basins. Next prerequisites of intensive spawning were revealed in 1976-1977: entering not less than two successive inflows, the first of that renewed water in Bornholm Basin, whereupon the next one filled Gotland Basin; high level of previous salinity; coincidence of spawning seasonal dynamics and reproductive layer thickness. Reasons of spawning failure in 1994 were: a low previous salinity, 11psu-isohaline deepening and small reproductive layer. Obstacles of successful spawning in 2003-2004 were: fast oxygen depletion due to temperature rise at halocline; discrepancy of seasonal peaks of spawning (summer) and reproductive layer (spring).

Third party liability and exemption clauses in the contract of carriage by sea
Creators: name: Futer, John Frederick William

description: Sea carriers in the past, have extended liability to their servants, agents and sub-contractors through Himalaya clauses in the bills of lading. However, there has been a complicated legal debate over third party liability and exemption clauses in the contract of carriage by sea. Complicated issues have made it difficult to determine who bears responsibility for the goods from carriage to delivery. This will affect the introduction of adequate insurance rates, which will in turn, apply to efficient rates of carriage. Some of the difficulties had been overcome by an established principle of vicarious liability. However, this principle was short lived, as it was severely restricted and later, well defunct. The Privy Council decision of A. M. Satterthwaite and Co. Ltd. v New Zealand Shipping Co. Ltd., did successfully transfer indemnity to a third party. However, the High Court decision of Port Jackson Stevedoring Pty. Ltd. v Salmond and Spraggon (Australia) Pty. Ltd. failed to apply the Eurymedon doctrine. Therefore, although the Enrymedon was not over ruled, there was still opposition to third party indemnity under bills of lading. The High Court initiated a search for fine distinctions involving the capacity issue, construction of the agreement, consideration, agency and fundamental breach. The New York Star was appealed to the Privy Council, which reversed the decision of the High Court. The status of third party liability was still somewhat unsettled until the matter was again tested and upheld in Broken Hill Proprietary Co. Ltd. v Hapag-Lloyd Aktiengesellschaf and others, and Sidney Cooke Ltd. v Hapag-Lloyd Aktiengesellschaf and Another, decisions. The principles in the House of Lord's decision in the New York Star, which allowed the exclusion of stevedores under a bill of lading, were transferred to the road haulage industry in Celthene Pty. Ltd. v W.K.J. Hauliers Pty. Ltd. and Another, and upheld in Life Savers (Australasia) Ltd. v Frigmobile Pty. Ltd. and Another. It is apparent from these recent decisions, that a properly worded limitation or exclusion clause, can operate to exempt the carrier's servants, agents and independent contractors, from liability for damage or loss of goods. Such an understanding makes it easier for cargo owners to ascertain the risk they undertake when shipping their freight, and to arrange for appropriate insurance coverage. The carrier, knowing that his servants, agents and independent contractors employed from time to time, are exempted from liability, can set competitive rates of carriage, and discard high insurance costs.

description: Power series expansions naturally arise whenever solutions of ordinary differential equations are studied in the regime of perturbation theory. In the case of quasi-periodic solutions the issue of convergence of the series is plagued of the so-called small divisor problem. In this paper we review a method recently introduced to deal with such a problem, based on renormalisation group ideas and multiscale techniques. Applications to both quasi-integrable Hamiltonian systems (KAM theory) and non-Hamiltonian dissipative systems are discussed. The method is also suited to situations in which the perturbation series diverges and a resummation procedure can be envisaged, leading to a solution which is not analytic in the perturbation parameter: we consider explicitly examples of solutions which are only infinitely differentiable in the perturbation parameter, or even defined on a Cantor set.

description: Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a condition that can lead to a decrease in quality of life. If this happens, it will be a challenge to control because patients can experience complications such as cardiovascular disease and can even cause death. It was necessary to consider using hypertension self-management behavior to prevent the disease. Women are the gender that experiences hypertension more in Indonesia, and their quality of life is lower than men in several countries in the world and Indonesia. Objective: The study aimed to examine the factors of self-management behavior of hypertensive women and their impact on quality of life through hypertension self-management education with guidance through booklets. This study used a quasi-experimental design without a control group with a sample size of 46 participant women aged 18-70 years, experiencing hypertension, taking hypertension medication, communicating and reading in Indonesian, and agreeing to participate in the activity, with consecutive sampling techniques. Each participant received health education on self-management of hypertension in groups of 11 to 12 people. This study provided a booklet for each participant. Then, each participant received monitoring activities. Data analysis used the McNemar test for two categories, the Marginal Homogeneity Test if more than two, and the Paired t-test. Results: Research showed marked changes in the self-management behavior of hypertensive patients including regular consumption of antihypertensive drugs (p value 0.006), controlling blood pressure (p value 0.0001), doing physical activity (p value 0.005), consuming salt (p value 0.016) and managing stress (p value 0.008), and changes in quality of life (p value 0.0001). Conclusion: Self-management education in women with hypertension with booklets can be used as an effort to strengthen self-control behavior and improve quality of life.
Da Reid a Plantinga e ritorno. Nota sul problema della filosofia cristiana

description: La riflessione di molti filosofi analitici della religione si è spesso nutrita dell’epistemologia di Thomas Reid. Eppure, nel riflettere sul problema dell’esistenza di una filosofia cristiana, non si è ancora notato che il filosofo scozzese sembra aver indicato una possibile soluzione. In questo articolo, intendo mostrare questa soluzione così come essa emerge implicitamente dalla pratica filosofica di Reid ed esplicitamente da alcune sue persuasioni teologiche relative al rapporto tra rivelazione divina e ragione umana.

The kinetics and mechanisms of chlorohydrin formation.
Creators: name: Craw, Donald Alan
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania

description: The reaction between a halogen or hydrogen halide and an olefinic substance is one of the fundamental reactions of organic chemistry. It is not surprising, therefore, that considerable attention has been given to the kinetics of the electrophilic and nucleophilic addition of halogens or hydrogen halides to olefins under the influence of both thermal and photochemical activation (1-6). The factors most likely to influence the rate of the reaction viz., the nature of the olefin and its substituent groups, the particular halogen or hydrogen halide employed, the temperature, the influence of catalysts and the powerful solvent effects have all been investigated in detail with the result that this seemingly straightforward class of reactions has been shown to possess considerable complexity. On the other hand, the kinetics of the reactions of hypohalous acids, and in particular hypochlorous acid, with olefins has received rather scant attention. In some ways this is remarkable in view of the fact that the formation of chlorohydrins by this reaction has been known for at least seventy years when Erlenmeyer and Muller (7) and Melikov (8.9) investigated the addition of hypochlorous acid to the isomeric crotonic acids. Perhaps the most important contribution to our knowledge of reactions of this kind is due to Bloomfield and co-workers (10,11) who, while investigating the addition of olefinic acids and esters towards hypochlorous acid and ethyl hypochlorite, isolated, identified and estimated the relative amounts of the isomeric chlorohydrins formed in this reaction. At about the same time, Shilov and collaborators began an investigation of the kinetics of the reactions involving the addition of hypochlorous acid to olefinic compounds and during the past eighteen years, a series of papers from this source have been published Ca- 30. It is unfortunate that these investigators should have studied the catalytic effect of added chloride ion, usually from hydrochloric acid, in the majority of their reaction systems as the intervention of molecular chlorine formed in this way would seriously interfere with the true nature of hypochlorous acid additions. The results of early work by Shilov et al. (14) on the addition to ethene, indicated that the addition of chlorine to the double bond was about 100,000 times greater than that of hypochlorous acid, yet it was only in later papers (10.- 22) that this complicating factor seemed to be fully appreciated. However, during their early work they concluded that the addition reaction was a complex one and could not be described by a simple bimolecular or termolecular process. It seemed, therefore, that a detailed investigation of the kinetics of chlorohydrin formation was desirable and would prove a profitable and useful subject for research.

description: In 2019, the Scottish Government set ambitious targets to deliver net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2045. In 2018, agriculture was responsible for 18% of Scotland’s total GHG emissions. More than half of this was attributed to methane (56%) with most methane arising from enteric fermentation (produced during digestion of feed by cattle and sheep). The Government’s net-zero target, therefore, creates strong demand for methane-mitigation technologies. This report provides a rapid evidence assessment of two feed additives – Bovaer and Agolin Ruminant – which are being developed to reduce enteric methane emissions.
