description: The young shell-type supernova remnant RCW 103 has peculiar properties in the X-ray morphology obtained with Chandra. The southeastern shell is more brighter in the X-rays, and the curved border of the shell in this region is more flatten than the other part. We investigate the formation of the peculiar periphery of the supernova remnant RCW 103 using 3D hydrodynamical simulation. Assuming that the supernova ejecta has been evolved in the medium with a density gradient, the detected shape of the periphery can be generally reproduced. For RCW 103, with the ejecta mass of $3.0~M_{\odot}$, the density of the background material of $2.0~\mathrm{cm}^{-3}$, and a gradient of $3.3 - 4.0 ~\mathrm{cm}^{-3} \mathrm{pc}^{-1}$, the X-ray periphery can be generally reproduced. The simulation turned out that the asymmetry of the SNR RCW 103 is mainly due to the inhomogeneous medium with a density gradient.

description: Present experiments are sensitive to very weakly coupled extra gauge symmetries which motivates further investigation of their appearance in string theory compactifications and subsequent properties. We consider extensions of the standard model based on open strings ending on D-branes, with gauge bosons due to strings attached to stacks of D-branes and chiral matter due to strings stretching between intersecting D-branes. Assuming that the fundamental string mass scale saturates the current LHC limit and that the theory is weakly coupled, we show that (anomalous) $U(1)$ gauge bosons which propagate into the bulk are compelling light dark matter candidates. We comment on the possible relevance of the $U(1)$ gauge bosons, which are universal in intersecting D-brane models, to the observed $3σ$ excess in XENON1T.

description: This paper tries to estimate the impact of establishment of CAFTA on the United States sugar market. We use the United States sugar demand elasticity and the amount of increase in the U.S. sugar import quota under CAFTA agreement to estimate the magnitude of this effect. This study shows that these increased imports will result in a decrease in the U.S. domestic sugar price of about 1.7 cents, or approximately 8.6 percent. Although it amounts to only pennies per pound, this decrease in the domestic price could result in the incursion of significant U.S. government expenditures given the current structure of the U.S. non-recourse loan program.

Copy-on-write in Mammoth
Creators: name: Gong, Shihao
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Mammoth is a versioned peer-to-peer storage system with a traditional file system interface. Files are replicated selectively on several nodes based on per-file policies to protect against site failure. A set of interested nodes may cache the file data to read and write. To increase the availability during network partition, Mammoth allows branch to occur. Consistency is achieved by separating file history logs and file data. All file data are kept as immutable versions. File metadata is propagated eagerly among interested nodes. However, keeping a file version in its entirety may hurt the performance when versioning and replicating large files with minor modifications. Thus a copy-on- write (COW) mechanism is integrated with Mammoth file system. It preserves all the features of Mammoth's original design. The basic idea of COW is to use an in-core bitmap to record which blocks are modified during an update session. When versioning the file, only the new data of changed blocks (delta) is copied into a dfile and the changed block list is written to an ifile. When updating a copy on a remote node, the system scans the ifiles created during this interval and gets a complete list of changed blocks. Then only the delta is sent through the network. File restoration is achieved by applying deltas reversely. We did a comparison test between Mammoth and Mammoth+. It shows that Mammoth+ reduces versioning overhead and replication overhead dramatically for large files with a small update size. For example, when only 4KB changed in a 64MB file, the versioning overhead of Mammoth is 4565 times of Mammoth+, and the replication overhead of Mammoth is 17812 times of Mammoth-h

Covariant Model for Relativistic Three-Body Systems
Creators: name: Droz-Vincent, Philippe
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The system is described by three mass-shell constraints. After a nonlinear transformation of the momenta, the analytic form taken by admissible interactions (allowing compatibility) is characterized in terms of the new variables. These variables mix two-body clusters, which results in automatically incorporating three-body forces. Two superfluous degrees of freedom are eliminated, which yields a reduced equation for a wave function depending on three-dimensional arguments. When at least two masses are equal, this picture has a reasonable nonrelativistic limit. At first post-Galilean order and provided the interaction is not too much energy-dependent, the relativistic correction is tractable like a conventional perturbation problem. A covariant version of harmonic oscillator is given as a toy model.

description: Emacs Lisp (Elisp) is the Lisp dialect used by the Emacs text editor family. GNU Emacs can currently execute Elisp code either interpreted or byte-interpreted after it has been compiled to byte-code. In this work we discuss the implementation of an optimizing compiler approach for Elisp targeting native code. The native compiler employs the byte-compiler's internal representation as input and exploits libgccjit to achieve code generation using the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) infrastructure. Generated executables are stored as binary files and can be loaded and unloaded dynamically. Most of the functionality of the compiler is written in Elisp itself, including several optimization passes, paired with a C back-end to interface with the GNU Emacs core and libgccjit. Though still a work in progress, our implementation is able to bootstrap a functional Emacs and compile all lexically scoped Elisp files, including the whole GNU Emacs Lisp Package Archive (ELPA). Native-compiled Elisp shows an increase of performance ranging from 2.3x up to 42x with respect to the equivalent byte-code, measured over a set of small benchmarks.

title: Exploring chirality of unnatural amino acids and peptides on water sorption and stratum corneum uptake
Creators: name: Silva Pereira, Ermelinda Cidália
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2019

description: Skin is the largest organ in the human body and acts as a protective barrier against exterior chemical and pathogenic agents. Because of the large surface area and easy accessibility, drug delivery through skin has numerous potential applications. The stratum corneum, SC (the outermost layer of the skin), forms the main barrier to diffusion of permeants through the skin; circumventing this barrier is challenging and it is difficult to deliver “large” molecules such as proteins and peptides across the skin. The physicochemical properties of a permeant affect its transport into and through the skin and well characterised diffusional determinants include the octanol/water partition coefficient, molecular weight, solubility and hydrogen bonding groups of a drug. Less well understood is the role of chirality. The enantioselectivity of the skin during epidermal permeation has been poorly researched with few investigations focussing on the effect of drug chirality. In this project, three libraries of unnatural amino acids were synthesised in their racemic and enantiomerically pure forms; a saturated series, an unsaturated series and a hydroxylated series of -amino acids. The monomers were assembled into peptides of different dimensions, specifically dimers, tetramers and in some cases hexamers and octamers. This library was used to probe and seek to understand the effects of increasing molecular weight and chirality on permeant uptake into stratum corneum membranes. In addition, the ability of these materials to hold water, and so act as potential moisturising agents in dry skin conditions was explored. To meet these objectives, the physical properties of these materials were measured and assessed ranging from analytical characterisation (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance - NMR, Mass Spectrometry - MS, Infra-Red - IR) to water uptake assays (Thermal Gravimeric Analysis - TGA, Dynamic Sorption Vapou - DVS). The materials tended to form intramolecular hydrogen bonds as the peptide length increased. Thus, their foldameric structures were also explored using circular dichroism and for some materials with unusual properties X-ray diffraction was performed. Selected compounds were applied to isolated sheets of stratum corneum to assess their uptake. The influence of chirality, molecular weight, chemical composition (saturated, unsaturated and hydroxylated), water holding capacity and secondary structure on the uptake of the material into the tissue were explored and the results illustrated that complex relationships existed between structure and uptake but chiral selectivity of drug uptake into the stratum corneum was demonstrated.

description: A prediction of the classic active galactic nuclei (AGN) unification model is the presence of ionisation cones with different orientations depending on the AGN type. Confirmations of this model exist for present times, but it is less clear in the early Universe. Here, we use the morphology of giant Ly$α$ nebulae around AGNs at redshift z$\sim$3 to probe AGN emission and therefore the validity of the AGN unification model at this redshift. We compare the spatial morphology of 19 nebulae previously found around type I AGNs with a new sample of 4 Ly$α$ nebulae detected around type II AGNs. Using two independent techniques, we find that nebulae around type II AGNs are more asymmetric than around type I, at least at radial distances $r>30$~physical kpc (pkpc) from the ionizing source. We conclude that the type I and type II AGNs in our sample show evidence of different surrounding ionising geometries. This suggests that the classical AGN unification model is also valid for high-redshift sources. Finally, we discuss how the lack of asymmetry in the inner parts (r$\lesssim$30 pkpc) and the associated high values of the HeII to Ly$α$ ratios in these regions could indicate additional sources of (hard) ionizing radiation originating within or in proximity of the AGN host galaxies. This work demonstrates that the morphologies of giant Ly$α$ nebulae can be used to understand and study the geometry of high redshift AGNs on circum-nuclear scales and it lays the foundation for future studies using much larger statistical samples.

description: Merger and accretion shocks in clusters of galaxies can accelerate particles via first order Fermi process. Since this mechanism is believed to be intrinsically efficient, shocks are expected to be modified by the backreaction of the accelerated particles. Such a modification might induce appreciable effects on the non--thermal emission from clusters and a suppression of the heating of the gas at strong shocks. Here we consider in particular the gamma ray emission and we discuss the capability of Cherenkov telescopes such as HESS to detect clusters at TeV energies.

description: In this paper I consider a problem – originally raised by Thomas Aquinas – that is a side effect of integrating Aristotle’s epistemology with Augustine’s. Thus, how can the human soul obtain knowledge of its own stable dispositions (habitus)? In a serious attempt to meet the constraints that Aristotle had placed on the possibility of human reflexive thought, Aquinas builds his answer on a distinction between actual and habitual self-knowledge. Both Matthew of Acquasparta and Roger Marston will draw on the distinction, as well as on the overall formulation of the problem, and yet – due to a stronger commitment to Augustineʼs epistemology – they will reject with different arguments Aquinas’s solution.

The results show significant evidence of different price expectations when cattle feeders make decisions on net placement and marketings of live cattle. Our study also suggests that cattle feeders are risk averse on average.

description: Using the holographic correspondence as a tool, we study the dynamics of first-order phase transitions in strongly coupled gauge theories at finite temperature. Considering an evolution from the large to the small temperature phase, we compute the nucleation rate of bubbles of true vacuum in the metastable phase. For this purpose, we find the relevant configurations (bounces) interpolating between the vacua and we compute the related effective actions. We start by revisiting the compact Randall-Sundrum model at high temperature. Using holographic renormalization, we compute the kinetic term in the effective bounce action, that was missing in the literature. Then, we address the full problem within the top-down Witten-Sakai-Sugimoto model. It displays both a confinement/deconfinement and a chiral symmetry breaking/restoration phase transition which, depending on the model parameters, can happen at different critical temperatures. For the confinement/deconfinement case we perform the numerical analysis of an effective description of the transition and also provide analytic expressions using thick and thin wall approximations. For the chiral symmetry transition, we implement a variational approach that allows us to address the challenging non-linear problem stemming from the Dirac-Born-Infeld action.

description: We calculate electron transport through molecular monolayers of saturated alkanes with point defects from first principles. Single defects (incorporated Au ions, kinks, dangling bonds) produce deep localized levels in the gap between occupied and unoccupied molecular levels. Single defects produce steps on the I-V curve, whereas pairs of (unlike and like) defects give negative differential resistance peaks. The results are discussed in relation to the observed unusual transport behavior of organic monolayers and compared with transport through conjugated polythiophenes.

We prove that there exist $75$ pairwise non-isomorphic three-element doppelsemigroups among which $41$ doppelsemigroups are commutative. Non-commutative doppelsemigroups are divided into $17$ pairs of dual doppelsemigroups. Also up to isomorphism there are $65$ strong doppelsemigroups of order $3$, and all non-strong doppelsemigroups are not commutative.

description: This paper deals with the discussion by Albert the Great of the possibility of a human knowledge of God. Albert’s reflection on this topics is articulated in different levels: from a first level, concerning our natural or ordinary knowledge of God, to the upper level of the beatific vision after death, passing through the mystical contemplation of divinity during earthly life. Even if he does not exclude the possibility of knowing God through affectus, Albert finally states that God’s essence goes beyond the range of human knowledge.

description: We study the asymptotic dynamics of a driven spin-boson system where the environment is formed by a broadened localized mode. Upon exploiting an exact mapping, an equivalent formulation of the problem in terms of a quantum two-state system (qubit) coupled to a harmonic oscillator which is itself Ohmically damped, is found. We calculate the asymptotic population difference of the two states in two complementary parameter regimes. For weak damping and low temperature, a perturbative Floquet-Born-Markovian master equation for the qubit-oscillator system can be solved. We find multi-photon resonances corresponding to transitions in the coupled quantum system and calculate their line-shape analytically. In the complementary parameter regime of strong damping and/or high temperatures, non-perturbative real-time path integral techniques yield analytic results for the resonance line shape. In both regimes, we find very good agreement with exact results obtained from a numerical real-time path-integral approach. Finally, we show for the case of strong detuning between qubit and oscillator that the width of the $n$-photon resonance scales with the $n$-th Bessel function of the driving strength in the weak-damping regime.

The Grace that creates Nature, the Grace that renews Nature: Gilbert of La Porrée and the Victorines on Natural Law

description: Natural law is a crucial subject in the twelfth-century debates among Roman and canon lawyers, but also among the exegetes and theologians. Starting from two verses of Paul’s Epistle to the Romans (Rm 1:18-20 and 2:13-14), the masters debated the natural capability of human being to achieve a moral knowledge and the features of the universal moral principle, that is the lex naturalis, which natural reason can understand. Through the analysis of Gilbert of La Porrée’s Glossa in epistolas Beati Pauli (ca. 1130) and of Ps. Hugh of St. Victor’s Quaestiones in epistolas Beati Pauli (ca. 1160), this essay examines the exegetical developments in the Parisian milieu of the mid-twelfth century. It shows how the doctrinal positions of Gilbert and the Ps. Hugh stand in their intellectual landscape and which influence they have in the development of the theological debate on natural law.

description: This paper studies how the static non-linear electromagnetic-vacuum spacetime of a point nucleus with negative bare mass affects the self-adjointness of the general-relativistic Dirac Hamiltonian for a test electron, without and with an anomalous magnetic moment. The study interpolates between the previously studied extreme cases of a test electron in (a) the Reissner--Weyl--Nordström spacetime (Maxwell's electromagnetic vacuum), which supports a very strong curvature singularity with negative infinite bare mass, and (b) the Hoffmann spacetime (Born or Born--Infeld's electromagnetic vacuum) with vanishing bare mass, which features the mildest possible curvature singularity. The main conclusion reached is: {on electrostatic spacetimes of a point nucleus with a strictly negative bare mass} (which may be $-\infty$) essential self-adjointness fails unless the radial electric field diverges sufficiently fast at the nucleus and the anomalous magnetic moment of the electron is taken into account. Thus on the Hoffmann spacetime with (strictly) negative bare mass the Dirac Hamiltonian of a test electron, with or without anomalous magnetic moment, is not essentially self-adjoint. All these operators have self-adjoint extensions, though, with the usual essential spectrum $(-\infty,-\mEL c^2]\cup[\mEL c^2,\infty)$ and an infinite discrete spectrum located in the gap $(-\mEL c^2,\mEL c^2)$

description: Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are millisecond-duration, bright radio signals (fluence $\mathrm{0.1 - 100\,Jy\,ms}$) emitted from extragalactic sources of unknown physical origin. The recent CHIME/FRB and STARE2 detection of an extremely bright (fluence $\sim$MJy$\,$ms) radio burst from the Galactic magnetar SGR~1935$+$2154 supports the hypothesis that (at least some) FRBs are emitted by magnetars at cosmological distances. In follow-up observations totalling 522.7$\,$hrs on source, we detect two bright radio bursts with fluences of $112\pm22\mathrm{\,Jy\,ms}$ and $24\pm5\mathrm{\,Jy\,ms}$, respectively. Both bursts appear affected by interstellar scattering and we measure significant linear and circular polarisation for the fainter burst. The bursts are separated in time by $\sim$1.4$\,$s, suggesting a non-Poissonian, clustered emission process -- similar to what has been seen in some repeating FRBs. Together with the burst reported by CHIME/FRB and STARE2, as well as a much fainter burst seen by FAST (fluence 60$\mathrm{\,mJy\,ms}$), our observations demonstrate that SGR 1935+2154 can produce bursts with apparent energies spanning roughly seven orders of magnitude, and that the burst rate is comparable across this range. This raises the question of whether these four bursts arise from similar physical processes, and whether the FRB population distribution extends to very low energies ($\sim10^{30}\,$erg, isotropic equivalent).

description: In this work we study the phenomenological consequences of the dependence of mass varying neutrinos on the neutrino density in the Sun, which we precisely compute in each point along the neutrino trajectory. We find that a generic characteristic of these scenarios is that they establish a connection between the effective Delta m^2 in the Sun and the absolute neutrino mass scale. This does not lead to any new allowed region in the oscillation parameter space. On the contrary, due to this effect, the description of solar neutrino data worsens for large absolute mass. As a consequence a lower bound on the level of degeneracy can be derived from the combined analysis of the solar and KamLAND data. In particular this implies that the analysis favours normal over inverted mass orderings. These results, in combination with a positive independent determination of the absolute neutrino mass, can be used as a test of these scenarios together with a precise determination of the energy dependence of the survival probability of solar neutrinos, in particular for low energies.

Botany as Science and Exegetical Tool in Albert the Great
Creators: name: Cerrito, Amalia
Publisher: name: Aisthesis. Pratiche, linguaggi e saperi dell’estetico
Year: 2018

description: In the 13th century, the availability of Aristotle’s treatises of natural philosophy encouraged forms of integration between libri naturales and sapientia biblica. Instead of diving into allegory and symbolism, several Dominican exegetes began to explore more realistic approaches. The foremost figure is Albert the Great. In his biblical commentaries, philosophy of nature and theology join forces as complementary forms of knowledge. By focusing on Albert’s De vegetabilibus, this paper is aimed at analyzing in which ways the Dominican master reuses his naturalistic and, especially, botanical knowledge as an exegetical tool to deepen both the historical and the allegorical sense, realism and spiritual interpretation.

Biblical Exegesis and Aristotelian Naturalism: Albert the Great, Thomas Aquinas, and the animals of the Book of Job
Creators: name: Perfetti, Stefano
Publisher: name: Aisthesis. Pratiche, linguaggi e saperi dell’estetico
Year: 2018

description: This essay examines the biblical discourse on animals in Job 38-41, as interpreted by Albert the Great and Thomas Aquinas in their 13th-century biblical commentaries. In God’s first reply to Job (chapters 38 and 39) twelve species of animals are introduced and realistically described, including accurate details of their behavior. Subsequently, chapters 40 and 41 introduce two more complex animals, Behemoth and Leviathan, in which realistic and symbolic features intertwine. This peculiarity of the book of Job – long sequences dedicated to descriptions of animals – allows to investigate to what extent and how the availability of Aristotelian zoology, whose study was prescribed in the Dominican program promoted and practiced by Albert himself, became an instrument for a renewed biblical exegesis, different from the allegorical and theological moralizing hitherto prevailing in the Christian tradition of commentaries on Job.

Beauty, Ethics and Numbers in Boethius’ Quadrivial Treatises
Creators: name: Panti, Cecilia
Publisher: name: Aisthesis. Pratiche, linguaggi e saperi dell’estetico

description: The convergence of the Neoplatonic/Neopythagorean approach with the Aristotelian organization of the sciences is one of the most interesting features that characterizes the two influential mathematical treatises on On Arithmetics (De institutione arithmetica) and On Music (De institutione musica) by Severinus Boethius. Basing his reasoning on Nicomachus and Ptolemy, Boethius follows the philosophical tradition that had tried to reconcile Plato’s and Aristotle’s views. This attitude is examined in the present paper as regards Boethius’ response concerning the relation between numbers, ethics and aesthetics. His view emerges as coming out of a rather complex construction, which assigns the ethical scope of mathematics in indicating to the human mind how to correct the ratios that realize the best relationship in movements of the soul and the body. More precisely, its ethical aim is to correct the specific form of movement of human beings, that is their actions, exemplified in the way in which mathematical ratios represent the forms of government and musical ratios evoke and heal psychophysical affections. More complex, on the other hand, is the relationship between mathematics and beauty. In clear antithesis to the position taken by Augustine on the beauty of the rhythmic patterns that better represent the beauty of unity, Boethius does not relate the mathematical ratios of the consonances to an esthetical judgment by making use of the category of beauty. For him, the physical world is totally immersed in changes and movements, and this cannot but impede things from expressing the stable unity, which is required for contemplating the beautiful.

Motion doodles : a sketch-based interface for character animation
Creators: name: Thorne, Matthew E.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis presents a novel sketch-based interface for animating an articulated human character quickly and with a, limited amount of training. The character is animated by sketching a sequence of simple arcs, loops and lines which are interpreted as an appropriate sequence of steps, jump, flips and other motions. The motion synthesis extracts key feature's from the sketch such as height, distance and timing information allowing a user to create a variety of styles of motion. The details of the sketch interpretation process are discussed for both a 2D and 3D version of the system.

Pentaquark with diquark correlations in a quark model

description: We have investigated uudd\sbar pentaquarks by employing quark models with the meson exchange and the effective gluon exchange as qq and q\qbar interactions. The system for five quarks is dynamically solved; two quarks are allowed to have a diquark-like qq correlation. It is found that the lowest mass of the pentaquark is about 1947 -- 2144 MeV. There are parameter sets where the mass of the lowest positive-parity state become lower than that of the negative-parity states. Which parity corresponds to the observed peak is still an open question. Relative distance of two quarks with the attractive interaction is found to be by about 1.2 -- 1.3 times closer than that of the repulsive one. The diquark-like quark correlation seems to play an important role in the pentaquark systems.

description: Studying unidentified γ-ray sources is important as they may hide new discoveries. We conducted a multiwavelength analysis of 13 unidentified Fermi-LAT sources in the 3FGL catalog that have no known counterparts (Unidentified Gamma-ray Sources, UnIDs). The sample was selected for sources that have a single radio and X-ray candidate counterpart in their uncertainty ellipses. The purpose of this study is to find a possible blazar signature and to model the Spectral Energy Distribution (SED) of the selected sources using an empirical log parabolic model. The results show that the synchrotron emission of all sources peaks in the infrared (IR) band and that the high-energy emission peaks in MeV to GeV bands. The SEDs of sources in our sample are all blazar like. In addition, the peak position of the sample reveals that 6 sources (46%) are Low Synchrotron Peaked (LSP) blazars, 4 (31%) of them are High Synchrotron Peaked (HSP) blazars, while 3 of them (23%) are Intermediate Synchrotron Peaked (ISP) blazars.
