description: We study the post-encounter evolution of fictitious small bodies belonging to the so-called Line of Variations (LoV) in the framework of the analytic theory of close encounters. We show the consequences of the encounter on the local minimum of the distance between the orbit of the planet and that of the small body, and get a global picture of the way in which the planetocentric velocity vector is affected by the encounter. The analytical results are compared with those of numerical integrations of the restricted 3-body problem.

title: The effects of realistic surface properties on low temperature space observatories
Creators: name: Blake, Robert
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1998

description: I investigate the effects of modelling radiative heat transfer correctly on equilibrium temperatures of passively cooled telescopes. I compare the traditional diffuse approximation with a surface exhibiting the directional properties of gold, both with an emissivity of 0.03. I also modeled surfaces with much lower, more realistic emissivities. Directional surface properties are derived from values of optical constants at room temperature since there exists a dearth of reliable data at cryogenic temperatures. The effect of using optical constants at different wavelengths is also investigated. My simulations show the diffuse assumption produces higher temperatures than the directional surface. Both surfaces produce higher temperatures than the low emissivity cases when conductivity is low, whilst the reverse is true for high conductivity. The directional surface always outperformed the diffuse surface For radiative exchange, the diffuse approximation simply produces pessimistic results. However, incorrect modelling of radiative exchange can have knock-on effects. The higher emissivity, diffuse approximation predicts much greater improvements due to tilted sunshields than would realistically occur. This may recommend unnecessary changes to telescope designs in the attempt to improve cooling performance. The lack of reliable directional radiative data for candidate passive cooling materials will require a major measurement program before a mission is launched. In this thesis I describe apparatus to help in such measurements. The bi-directional reflectometer quickly and accurately builds up a picture of directional surface properties, performing very well when combined with a reliable laser and measuring device, the few component parts being relatively cheap. Thus, the many directional measurements required for accurate modelling could be made cheaply and quickly. The multiple reflection cell was designed to make high accuracy measurements at one angle only. This was not as effective as hoped due to laser problems, but should be able to make very good measurements. Further work is recommended.
Model decomposition of timed event graphs under periodic partial synchronization: application to output reference control

description: Timed Event Graphs (TEGs) are a graphical model for decision free and time-invariant Discrete Event Systems (DESs). To express systems with time-variant behaviors, a new form of synchronization, called partial synchronization (PS), has been introduced for TEGs. Unlike exact synchronization, where two transitions t 1 , t 2 can only fire if both transitions are simultaneously enabled, PS of transition t 1 by transition t 2 means that t 1 can fire only when transition t 2 fires, but t 1 does not influence the firing of t 2 . This, for example can describe the synchronization between a local train and a long distance train. Of course it is reasonable to synchronize the departure of a local train by the arrival of long distance train in order to guarantee a smooth connection for passengers. In contrast, the long distance train should not be delayed due to the late arrival of a local train. Under the assumption that PS is periodic, we can show that the dynamic behavior of a TEG under PS can be decomposed into a time-variant and a time-invariant part. It is shown that the time-variant part is invertible and that the time-invariant part can be modeled by a matrix with entries in the dioid M ax/in [[γ , δ]], i.e. the time-invariant part can be interpreted as a standard TEG. Therefore, the tools introduced for standard TEGs can be used to analyze and to control the overall system. In particular, in this paper output reference control for TEGs under PS is addressed. This control strategy determines the optimal input for a predefined reference output. In this case optimality is in the sense of the ”just-in-time” criterion, i.e., the input events are chosen as late as possible under the constraint that the output events do not occur later than required by the reference output.

description: We present two epochs of radial velocities of the first imaged T dwarf Gliese 229B obtained with Keck/NIRSPEC. The two radial velocities are discrepant with one another, and with the radial velocity of the host star, at $\approx$$11σ$ significance. This points to the existence of a previously postulated, but as-yet undetected, massive companion to Gl 229B; we denote the two components as Gl 229Ba and Gl 229Bb. We compute the joint likelihood of the radial velocities to constrain the period and mass of the secondary companion. Our radial velocities are consistent with an orbital period between a few days and $\approx$60 days, and a secondary mass of at least $\approx$15\,$M_{\rm Jup}$ and up to nearly half the total system mass of Gl 229B. With a significant fraction of the system mass in a faint companion, the strong tension between Gl 229B's dynamical mass and the predictions of evolutionary models is resolved.

description: The present article investigates the possibility of reconstruction of the generic function in $F(\mathcal{R},T)$ gravitational theory by considering some well-known cosmological bouncing models namely exponential evaluation, oscillatory, power law and matter bounce model, where $\mathcal{R}$ and $T$ are Ricci scalar and trace of energy-momentum tensor, respectively. Due to the complexity of dynamical field equations, we propose some ansatz forms of function $F(\mathcal{R},T)$ in perspective models and examine that which type of Lagrangian is capable to reproduce bouncing solution via analytical expression. It is seen that for some cases of exponential, oscillatory and matter bounce models, it is possible to get analytical solution while in other cases, it is not possible to achieve exact solutions so only complementary solutions can be discussed. However, for power law model, all forms of generic function can be reconstructed analytically. Further, we analyze the energy conditions and stability of these reconstructed cosmological bouncing models which have analytical forms. It is found that these models are stable for linear forms of Lagrangian only but the reconstructed solutions for power law are unstable for some non-linear forms of Lagrangian.

Path Integral for Space-time Noncommutative Field Theory

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The path integral for space-time noncommutative theory is formulated by means of Schwinger's action principle which is based on the equations of motion and a suitable ansatz of asymptotic conditions. The resulting path integral has essentially the same physical basis as the Yang-Feldman formulation. It is first shown that higher derivative theories are neatly dealt with by the path integral formulation, and the underlying canonical structure is recovered by the Bjorken-Johnson-Low (BJL) prescription from correlation functions defined by the path integral. A simple theory which is non-local in time is then analyzed for an illustration of the complications related to quantization, unitarity and positive energy conditions. From the view point of BJL prescription, the naive quantization in the interaction picture is justified for space-time noncommutative theory but not for the simple theory non-local in time. We finally show that the perturbative unitarity and the positive energy condition, in the sense that only the positive energy flows in the positive time direction for any fixed time-slice in space-time, are not simultaneously satisfied for space-time noncommutative theory by the known methods of quantization.

description: Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) can connect many medical imaging equipments to the medical information network to facilitate the process of diagnosing and treating for doctors. As medical image contains sensitive information, it is of importance yet very challenging to safeguard the privacy or security of the patient. In this work, a deep learning based encryption and decryption network (DeepEDN) is proposed to fulfill the process of encrypting and decrypting the medical image. Specifically, in DeepEDN, the Cycle-Generative Adversarial Network (Cycle-GAN) is employed as the main learning network to transfer the medical image from its original domain into the target domain. Target domain is regarded as a "Hidden Factors" to guide the learning model for realizing the encryption. The encrypted image is restored to the original (plaintext) image through a reconstruction network to achieve an image decryption. In order to facilitate the data mining directly from the privacy-protected environment, a region of interest(ROI)-mining-network is proposed to extract the interested object from the encrypted image. The proposed DeepEDN is evaluated on the chest X-ray dataset. Extensive experimental results and security analysis show that the proposed method can achieve a high level of security with a good performance in efficiency.

description: My aim was to establish a rationale for co-operative behaviour, based on my own experiences, elaborated and tested through academic research, and then further refined through conversations with a variety of people who might be thought to act in a way that is consistent with the rationale. The methodology explains why this process might be thought appropriate to a doctoral thesis. In the introduction, some of the essential underlying premises of the thesis are presented, together with an outline of the shape of the argument. Briefly, that shape is as follows. A set of ontological, moral, and epistemological commitments are stated. These are then used to derive a methodology, including comparisons with a variety of conventional approaches, and an attempt to assess some of the potential difficulties and disadvantages of the chosen method. The rationale of co-operation that emerged from this process is then presented, and followed by an attempt to explain how the assertions made in the rationale relate to a variety of existing academic discourses. After this, the field work is discussed, both in terms of its progress, and as a report on the sorts of ideas that were offered to me by those with whom I spoke. In conclusion, there is a brief set of reflections on how the research went, and what might be learned from the process.
Revealing the obscured supernova remnant Kes 32 with Chandra

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: I report here on the analysis and interpretation of a Chandra observation of the supernova remnant Kes 32. Kes 32 is rather weak in X-rays due to a large interstellar absorption, which is found to be ~4E22 cm^-2, larger than previously reported. Spectral analysis indicates that the ionization age of this object is very young, with n_e t ~ 4E9 cm^-3s, and a temperature of kT_e ~ 1 keV. The X-ray emission peaks at a smaller radius than in the radio. The low ionization age suggests that Kes 32 is a young remnant. However, a young age is in contradiction with the relatively large apparent size, which indicates an age of several thousand years, instead of a few hundred years. This problem is discussed in connection with Kes 32's unknown distance and its possible association with the Norma galactic arm.

Controlling Module Authority Using Programming Language Design

subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: The security of a software system relies on the principle of least privilege,which says that each software component must have only the privilege necessary for its execution and nothing else. Current programming languages do not provide adequate control over the privilege of untrusted software modules. To ﬁll this gap, we designed and implemented a capability-based module system that facilitates controlling what resources each software module accesses. Then, we augmented our module system with an effect system that facilitates controlling how resources are used, i.e., authority over resources. Our approach simpliﬁes the process of ensuring that a software system maintains the principle of least privilege. We implemented our solution as part of the Wyvern programming language. In Wyvern, modules representing or using system resources,such as the ﬁle system and network,are considered to be security-critical and are designated as resource modules. References to resource modules are capability-protected, i.e., to access a resource module, the accessing module must have the appropriate capability. Using this feature, we designed our module system in such a way that it is obvious at compile time what capabilities a module have from looking at modules’ interfaces and not their code. This property signiﬁcantly simpliﬁes the task of checking what capabilities a module holds. From a theoretical viewpoint, our capability analysis uses a novel, non-transitive notion of capabilities, which allows estimating the capabilities each module holds more precisely than in previous formal systems. Further,leveraging the fact that effects are a good proxy for operations performed on a resource, we designed Wyvern’s effect system that can account for the effects a module has on each resource. Our effect system is capability-based and allows specifying and enforcing what operations a module can perform on a resource it accesses, i.e., allows controlling the module’s authority. Similarly to our modulesystem design, effect annotations that convey information about module authority are located in modules’ interfaces, thus simplifying the task of checking resource usage. We formalized both Wyvern’s module system and effect system, and proved Wyvern to be capability- and authority-safe. We also assessed the effectiveness of the module system and the effect system that we designed in terms of how they would be used in practice and how they beneﬁt a security-minded software developer writing an application. To do that, we implemented an extensible text-editor application in Wyvern and performed a security analysis on it.
The economy of local food in Vancouver

Year: 2014

description: The food system within Metro Vancouver is responsible for feeding more than two million people on a daily basis. The region’s population is expected to grow substantially over the next thirty years, which means the system will need to keep pace. However, the region’s seasonal production limitations, coupled with demand for its horticultural products from around the globe, have created a system reliant on a predominantly imported food supply. Industrial conglomerates from California and Mexico enjoy significant cost, economies of scale and efficiency advantages over local producers. Further, they demand local buyers to accept supply on a year-round basis, which shifts power into the hands of imported producers. As a result, the food system’s dependency on imported food has made the local region less self-sufficient and places food security at risk.

description: In this paper we investigate asymptotic isotropization. We derive the asymptotic dynamics of spatially inhomogeneous cosmological models with a perfect fluid matter source and a positive cosmological constant near the de Sitter equilibrium state at late times, and near the flat FL equilibrium state at early times. Our results show that there exists an open set of solutions approaching the de Sitter state at late times, consistent with the cosmic no-hair conjecture. On the other hand, solutions that approach the flat FL state at early times are special and admit a so-called isotropic initial singularity. For both classes of models the asymptotic expansion of the line element contains an arbitrary spatial metric at leading order, indicating asymptotic spatial inhomogeneity. We show, however, that in the asymptotic regimes this spatial inhomogeneity is significant only at super-horizon scales.

description: Magnetic skyrmion, a topological magnetic domain with complex non-coplanar spin texture, appears a disk-like structure in two dimensions. Exploring three-dimensional spin texture and related chirality switching has drawn enormous interests from the perspective of fundamental research. Here, the three-dimensional magnetic moment of the skyrmion bubbles in centrosymmetric Mn-Ni-Ga were reconstructed with the vector field tomography approach via Lorentz transmission electron microscopy. The type of the bubbles was determined from investigating the magnetic vectors in entire space. We found that the bubbles switched their chirality easily but still keep the polarity to remain the singularity of the bubbles within the material. Our results offer valuable insights into the fundamental mechanisms underlying the spin chirality flips dynamics of skyrmion bubbles.

De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions.

Training needs of parent educators : a needs assessment of BC practitioners
Creators: name: Dickerson, Shannon McCune
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: Parent educators are expected to serve families with vastly differing backgrounds and needs. However, the field has little infrastructure, development, or funding. The skill and knowledge levels of individuals working with parent groups vary tremendously as there is no set path to becoming a parent educator and currently, there is no national standard of knowledge or skills which parent educators should possess in Canada or the U.S. Often, individuals are sent to specific parenting program trainings by their agency without prior experience or training in basic areas such as group development and facilitation, adult education principles, or basic knowledge about child development and parenting. Working with the BC Council for Families, this project sought to determine whether a foundational training program should be developed for BC parent educators and what it should cover. The perspectives of parent educators with less than three years of experience were elicited through surveys. Insights and experiences of supervisors and trainers of parent educators were gained through interviews. Through these interactions, answers were sought for the following questions: What should be done to better prepare parent educators for the multiple demands that they are expected to meet? What barriers might keep parent educators from accessing further training? What formats for a foundational training might surmount these barriers? A review of resources, courses, or workshops in BC revealed that no training program covering the "basics" of parent education currently exists. Supervisors and trainers of parent educators indicated that such a training is needed. The feedback from all three groups indicated that the highest priority areas in which to offer training for parent educators are: group facilitation, counseling and interpersonal skills, working with families with diverse needs, cultural sensitivity, and teaching adults. While desires for further training were strongly expressed, especially by those interviewed, funding, travel, and time were identified by most respondents as universal barriers. It is recommended the BC Council for Families provide a foundation training for parent educators using a mix of workshops, online tutorials, and web seminars, as needed for remote areas of the province.

description: A number of important developments in the last two years affected the food and agricultural sector and will continue to have important implications for food prices, consumption, and consumer expenditures in 1982. The drought-reduced harvest of 1980 was followed by a record grain crop in 1981; the 1980 restrictions on crop exports to the Soviet Union were followed by larger Soviet imports last year; and following several years of declining production, the cattle cycle "bottomed out" in 1980 and beef production has been increasing. Declines in Gross National Product made 1980 and 1981 recession years; a January 1981 freeze in Florida pushed up domestic prices for fruits and vegetables; a turn-around in world sugar production caused a drastic fall in raw sugar prices last year; scheduled April dairy price support increases were eliminated; and a new farm bill evolved.

Fermi Large Area Telescope Observations of the Fast-dimming Crab Nebula in 60-600 MeV

description: Context: The Crab pulsar and its nebula are the origin of relativistic electrons which can be observed through their synchrotron and inverse Compton emission. The transition between synchrotron-dominated and inverse-Compton-dominated emissions takes place at $\approx 10^9$ eV. Aims: The short-term (weeks to months) flux variability of the synchrotron emission from the most energetic electrons is investigated with data from ten years of observations with the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) in the energy range from 60 MeV to 600 MeV. Methods: The off-pulse light-curve has been reconstructed from phase-resolved data. The corresponding histogram of flux measurements is used to identify distributions of flux-states and the statistical significance of a lower-flux component is estimated with dedicated simulations of mock light-curves. The energy spectra for different flux states are reconstructed. Results: We confirm the presence of flaring-states which follow a log-normal flux distribution. Additionally, we discover a low-flux state where the flux drops to as low as 18.4% of the intermediate-state average flux and stays there for several weeks. The transition time is observed to be as short as 2 days. The energy spectrum during the low-flux state resembles the extrapolation of the inverse-Compton spectrum measured at energies beyond several GeV energy, implying that the high-energy part of the synchrotron emission is dramatically depressed. Conclusions: The low-flux state found here and the transition time of at most 10 days indicate that the bulk ($>75$%) of the synchrotron emission above $10^8$ eV originates in a compact volume with apparent angular size of $θ\approx0.4" t_\mathrm{var}/(5 \mathrm{d})$. We tentatively infer that the so-called inner knot feature is the origin of the bulk of the $γ$-ray emission.

description: A coordinate system is proposed for the purposes of analysis of far-field radiation from a localized source at the origin. The proposed coordinates exhibit no singularities over the far-field hemi-sphere, making them a good choice for automated radiation pattern analysis. Finally, it is shown that Ludwig polarization basis, commonly used to represent polarization of the far-field radiation, arises naturally, as a coordinate basis, when one uses stereographic coordinates.
title: An Appraisal of Naturalism in Contemporary Meta-Ethics
Creators: name: Lahti, David Christopher
Publisher: name: The Open University

description: The view that ethics is a discipline which can operate within the constraints of naturalism, whereby all principles, properties and terms are accessible to natural science, can be subdivided into logical, semantic, and synthetic. Logical naturalists defend the naturalist claim with an appeal to the validity of the logical progression from premises without moral terms to conclusions with them. Semantic naturalists defend it with an appeal to an analytical equivalence between certain nonmoral and moral expressions. Both of these approaches have been thoroughly criticised in this century. Relatively recently, naturalists have begun to defend their naturalist thesis not from either of these perspectives, but with a direct appeal to synthetic facts which can be employed or referred to in scientific explanations. Effective critique of naturalist theories of this newer type involves examination of both the scientific and the ethical claims made. One such synthetic naturalist approach to ethics is the evolutionary naturalism proposed by Michael Ruse. Critique based on a thorough examination of both the science of sociobiology and the moral philosophy involved in Ruse's theory yields informative conclusions, rendering his theory implausible from both perspectives. In light of this case study, a general strategy of argument can be developed which has potential for critique of other naturalistic ethical theories as well. This strategy is the Argument from Moral Experience, which operates by comparing descriptive claims regarding the fundamental nature of morality that are presented or implied by ethical theories, with the fundamental nature of morality as it is actually experienced. If arguments of this type are sound, they can be used in an exploration of whether or not naturalism is an appropriate perspective for morality to be understood and explained properly.

description: Recent proposals for the use of light nuclei as dark matter direct detection targets necessitate a strong theoretical understanding of the nuclear physics involved. We perform relevant calculations for dark matter-light nucleus scattering in a combined pionless effective field theory and large-$N_c$ expansion, where $N_c$ is the number of quark colors. We include a general set of one-nucleon currents that have been used in other effective theories, as well as novel two-nucleon contact currents. First, we obtain constraints for the relative sizes of the dark matter couplings to the one- and two-nucleon currents through the large-$N_c$ expansion. Then, we use these constraints to make predictions for the relative sizes of spin-dependent and spin-independent cross sections for dark matter scattering off of a nucleon, a deuteron, a triton, and helium-3.

description: We introduce a symmetric operad whose algebras are the Operator Product Expansion (OPE) Algebras of quantum fields. There is a natural classical limit for the algebras over this operad and they are commutative associative algebras with derivations. The latter are the algebras of classical fields. In this paper we completely develop our approach to models of quantum fields, which come from vertex algebras in higher dimensions. However, our approach to OPE algebras can be extended to general quantum fields even over curved space-time. We introduce a notion of OPE operations based on the new notion of semi-differential operators. The latter are linear operators Gamma from M to N between two modules of a commutative associative algebra A, such that for every m belonging to M the assignment "a maps to Gamma(a.m)" is a differential operator from A to N in the usual sense. The residue of a meromorphic function at its pole is an example of a semi-differential operator.

The IAG Solar Flux Atlas: Telluric Correction With a Semi-Empirical Model

description: Observations of the Sun as a star have been key to guiding models of stellar atmospheres and additionally provide useful insights on the effects of granulation and stellar activity on radial velocity measurements. Most high resolution solar atlases contain telluric lines that span the optical and limit the spectral regions useful for analysis. We present here a telluric-corrected solar atlas covering 0.5-1.0 micron derived from solar spectra taken with a Fourier Transform Spectrograph (FTS) at the Institut für Astrophysik, Göttingen. This atlas is the highest resolution spectrum with a wavelength calibration precise to +/-10 m/s across this 500 nm spectral window. We find that the atlas matches to within 3% of the telluric-corrected Kitt Peak atlas in regions containing telluric absorption weaker than 50% in transmission. The telluric component of the spectral data is fit with a semi-empirical model composed of Lorentz profiles initialized to the HITRAN parameters for each absorption feature. Comparisons between the best-fit telluric parameters describing the Lorentz profile for each absorption feature to the original HITRAN values in general show excellent agreement considering the effects atmospheric pressure and temperature have on our final parameters. However, we identify a small subset of absorption features with larger offsets relative to the catalogued line parameters. We make our final solar atlas available online. We additionally make available the telluric spectra extracted from the data that, given the high resolution of the spectrum, would be useful for studying the time evolution of telluric line shapes and their impact on Doppler measurements.

description: We analyze new multi-filter Hubble Space Telescope (HST) photometry of the normal Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 2011fe out to $\approx 2400~$days after maximum light, the latest observations to-date of a SN Ia. We model the pseudo-bolometric light curve with a simple radioactive decay model and find energy input from both $^{57}$Co and $^{55}$Fe are needed to power the late-time luminosity. This is the first detection of $^{55}$Fe in a SN Ia. We consider potential sources of contamination such as a surviving companion star or delaying the deposition timescale for $^{56}$Co positrons but these scenarios are ultimately disfavored. The relative isotopic abundances place direct constraints on the burning conditions experienced by the white dwarf (WD). Additionally, we place a conservative upper limit of $< 10^{-3}~M_\odot$ on the synthesized mass of $^{44}$Ti. Only 2 classes of explosion models are currently consistent with all observations of SN2011fe: 1) the delayed detonation of a low-$ρ_c$, near-$\rm{M}_{\rm{Ch}}$ ($1.2-1.3~M_\odot$) WD, or 2) a sub-$\rm{M}_{\rm{Ch}}$ ($1.0-1.1~M_\odot$) WD experiencing a thin-shell double detonation.

Year: 2020
Subjects: Education

description: The low understanding of scientific texts in the university field
requires an urgent alternative from the didactic. Therefore, digital application
strategies are an interesting alternative solution. The purpose of this research
was to determine the influence of a set of applications and programs used as a
didactic strategy in the process of reading and understanding scientific texts. To
achieve this, two tests (pre and post) were applied to assess reading
comprehension. From a population of 1580 university students, a sample of 310
was taken: control (160) and experimental (150). For the data collection,
adaptations of the Test CLUni, 2015 were applied in one paper of indexed
journals. The results reflected significant differences in understanding, in the
results of the evaluation of entry and exit according to study groups. Therefore,
it was concluded that Digital Application Strategies significantly improve the
understanding of scientific texts.

description: The method of formation of rational technology of consigner’s forwarding service is provided, which presumes definition of rational area of application of a certain vehicle payload and brand for operating on urban transportation routes and some practical recommendations are developed. As a criterion of efficiency, the minimum total costs for urban small consignment transportation per day were chosen. It is determined that the consignment size is subject to the normal law of distribution of a random variable while the loading and unloading time of 1 ton of consignment complies with the law of exponents. A regression analysis was performed and as well as the function of dependence of total costs for transportation of small consignments per day on the number of customers, with different values of the average consignment size and nominal vehicle payload operating on transportation routes which allows to determine the rational use of a particular brand depending on the number of customers for the corresponding value of the average consignment size.
