description: Optical cavities are a cornerstone of photonics. They are indispensable in lasers, optical filters, optical combs and clocks, in quantum physics, and have enabled the detection of gravitational waves. Cavities transmit light only at discrete resonant frequencies, which are well-separated in micro-structures. Despite attempts at the construction of `white-light cavities', the benefits accrued upon optically interacting with a cavity -- such as resonant field buildup -- have remained confined to narrow linewidths. Here, we demonstrate achromatic optical transmission through a planar Fabry-Perot micro-cavity via angularly multiplexed phase-matching that exploits a bio-inspired grating configuration. By correlating each wavelength with an appropriate angle of incidence, a continuous spectrum resonates and the micro-cavity is rendered transparent. The locus of a single-order 0.7-nm-wide resonance is de-slanted in spectral-angular space to become a 60-nm-wide achromatic resonance spanning multiple cavity free-spectral-ranges. This approach severs the link between the resonance bandwidth and the cavity-photon lifetime, thereby promising resonant enhancement of linear and nonlinear optical effects over broad bandwidths in ultrathin devices.

description: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the application of building information modelling (BIM) for asset management. It will discuss what tools and processors are used for applying BIM for asset management in construction projects. The method comprises a literature review of 33 projects that have applied BIM or planned to apply BIM for asset management functions. The findings show that a combination of software, hardware, processors, and standards can enable the BIM models to be integrated with the asset management systems. It facilitates easy extraction of information, avoid errors and duplication of work. The most popular way of developing a BIM-based asset management system is incorporating BIM asset data with CMMS or CAFM systems used for asset lifecycle and maintenance management. Engagement of stakeholders related to the operation phase is required as early as possible. Consideration should be given for protecting the information generated within the cyber environment. The research shows how BIM related tools and processors could be integrated to successfully implement BIM enabled asset management. The knowledge can be potentially useful for planning or implementing BIM enabled asset management systems. The research provides insight on the application of BIM for asset management in construction projects globally.
Felons, mutineers and other learned friends: a history of the development of the Colonial Bar in Australia, and the contribution of its advocates to the evolution of the colonies 1788-1856

description: This thesis can be viewed as having two tiers; firstly, the development of the institution of the Bar in Australia from 1788 until 1856, and secondly, the broader role that individual advocates played in the formation of each new Australian colony. This thesis is the first comparative history of Australian advocates and the development of the institution of the Bar. Previous histories of the Bar have either been restricted to the story of one colony, or the biography of a particular practitioner. It is my contention that a history of the institution of the Bar cannot be properly understood without a comparative examination of the colonial Bars, which also involves elements of general Australian history, legal history and judicial history. Traditionally, barristers trained in an English Inn of Court are seen as the members of the early nineteenth century colonial bars. The term ‘advocate’ is employed in this thesis to encompass the roles played by barristers trained in English Inns of Court, as well as certain attorneys, solicitors, convict attorneys and lay persons who performed an advocacy role in their colony. Often ‘advocate’ is more appropriate for early nineteenth century Australia as it also allows an examination of the roles played by people who did not have an English Inn of Court qualification, but who nevertheless performed court work. Advocates by definition represent the causes of other people in society, and in doing so contributed in a significant way to the social, political and economic development of each new colony, and their systems of law and order. In a sense this thesis can also be viewed as an examination of key events in Australian history from the viewpoint of barristers and advocates. Ultimately, an examination of key historical events can be used to aid our understanding of the dynamics of the modern-day Bar. It highlights the invaluable contribution that advocates make to society, but also reveals problems that are endemic within the Australian Bars. The argument is posed that there is a need for members of the Bar to understand their own history and the causes that have led to the modem state of the Bar, before they can make vital changes to guarantee the future effectiveness of their institution.

description: We study how matter-wave interferometry with Bose-Einstein condensates is affected by hypothetical collapse models and by environmental decoherence processes. Motivated by recent atom fountain experiments with macroscopic arm separations, we focus on the observable signatures of first-order and higher-order coherence for different two-mode superposition states, and on their scaling with particle number. This can be used not only to assess the impact of environmental decoherence on many-body coherence, but also to quantify the extent to which macrorealistic collapse models are ruled out by such experiments. We find that interference fringes of phase-coherently split condensates are most strongly affected by decoherence, whereas the quantum signatures of independent interfering condensates are more immune against macrorealistic collapse. A many-body enhanced decoherence effect beyond the level of a single atom can be probed if higher-order correlations are resolved in the interferogram.

description: The initial frontal NCAP tests in 1979 included lap-shoulder belted driver and right-front passenger and lap belted 6-year-old (yo) in the rear. The 35 mph barrier tests were reviewed and analyzed for the restraint performance of the front occupants and child in the rear. The initial 100 crash tests (#1–#100) in the NHTSA database were searched for frontal barrier impacts. Fifteen tests met the criteria. There were three tests with the 1980 Chevrolet Citation at 35, 40 and 48 mph. There were 12 other tests with different passenger vehicles at 35 mph into the rigid barrier. The tests included a lap-shoulder belted Hybrid II (Part 572) dummy in the driver and right-front passenger seat and a lap belted 6 yo child dummy (Alderson VIP 6 C) in the center or right rear seat. Vehicle dynamics and occupant kinematics were analyzed, and dummy responses were compared. Vehicle deformation was progressive with impact speed for the Citation tests, leading NHTSA to settle on a 35 mph NCAP speed. The thirteen 35 mph NCAP tests had an average driver HIC of 1099 ± 381 (95th CI 207) and 3 ms chest acceleration of 55.7 ± 16.1 g (95th CI 8.8) with 7 of 13 vehicles failing FMVSS 208 injury criteria. The average right-front passenger HIC was 1179 ± 555 (95th CI 302) and 3 ms chest acceleration was 47.2 ± 14.6 g (95th CI 7.9) with 7 of 13 failing injury criteria. Only four tests (30.8%) passed driver and right-front passenger injury criteria. The responses in the rear seat were significantly worse. The average HIC was 2711 ± 1111 (95th CI 604) and 3 ms chest acceleration was 62.8 ± 10.6 g (95th CI 5.8). The films showed the child’s upper body moved forward and rotated downward around the lap belt resulting in severe head impacts on the front seatback, floor, dummy legs or interior. All vehicles failed injury criteria by large margins. Submarining the lap belt was noted in 6 tests. HIC for the rear child was 2.47-times greater than the driver (t = 4.72, p < 0.001) and 2.30-times greater than the right-front passenger (t = 3.64, p < 0.005). In the 1979 NCAP tests, the child dummy experienced inadequate restraint by the lap belt in the rear seat. The child jackknifed around the lap belt, often submarined, with a severe head impact. No publication of the results has been found. NHTSA did not advise the public of the extremely poor restraint performance, even during the public discussions on the 1986 NTSB recommendation that U.S. vehicle manufacturers install lap-shoulder belts in rear outboard seats. None of the subsequent NCAP tests included a child or adult in the rear until nearly 25 years later.

description: We theoretically investigate the dispersion and polarization properties of the electromagnetic waves in a multi-layered structure composed of a magneto-optic waveguide on dielectric substrate covered by one-dimensional dielectric photonic crystal. The numerical analysis of such a complex structure shows polarization filtration of TE- and TM-modes depending on geometrical parameters of the waveguide and photonic crystal. We consider different regimes of the modes propagation inside such a structure: when guiding modes propagate inside the magnetic film and decay in the photonic crystal; when they propagate in both magnetic film and photonic crystal.

description: Over the past few decades, more studies have suggested that the age at menarche (AAM) has continued to decline. However, the AAM for women in resource-constrained areas is not clear. Moreover, the association between the Chinese famine and AAM is still unclear in rural regions. The study aimed to investigate the secular trends of AAM for women born between 1935 and 2000 and to further explore the effect of famine on AAM in rural China. The study included 23,444 women participants from the baseline study of the Henan Rural Cohort study. Changing AAM over time was analysed using linear regressions. Multinomial logistic regression was conducted to analyse the association between famine exposure and AAM subgroups. The age-standardised mean AAM was 14.74 years. The average AAM declined from 16.98 years for those born in 1935 to 13.87 years for those born in 2000, a decline of 0.077 years per 1 year and 0.729 years per decade. Compared to the reference group, women exposed to famine during foetal, early childhood, middle childhood, and late childhood were 1.376 (95% CI = 1.071–1.769), 1.848 (95% CI = 1.512–2.259), 2.084 (95% CI = 1.725–2.518), and 2.146 (95% CI = 1.788–2.576) times more likely to be ≥18 years AAM than women unexposed to famine, respectively. AAM showed a decreasing trend in rural China. Furthermore, both foetal and childhood famine exposure, especially in late childhood, were positively associated with increased AAM compared to unexposed famine.

description: Obtaining data on elasmobranch movements and behaviours in marine environments is a considerable challenge, but is urgently required to implement species management plans. It is important to understand patterns and mechanisms of group formation and cohesion, including social organisation and collective behaviour, that are likely to be adapted to current selective environments. These are key aspects of animal behaviour and behavioural ecology that influence population structuring. Reef manta rays (Mobula alfredi) are large and mobile pelagic elasmobranchs that occupy subtropical coastal areas in proximity to developing human populations. They form groups at shallow water aggregation sites, where they are vulnerable to exploitation and disturbance. In this thesis I show that M. alfredi: a) have structured societies with active social preferences between individuals, linked to site attachment; b) have strong behavioural heterogeneity that influences social dynamics; c) make gestural movements that may be a form of social communication; and d) alter their collective movements during foraging and courtship events. Our results suggest that conservation strategies should consider the social organisation and social behaviours of manta rays to better understand their spatial ecology and evolutionary dynamics, predict the impact of exploitation by fisheries, and mitigate disturbance from marine ecotourism. Local measures that consider groups as complex structures resulting from interactions between heterogenous individuals are likely to be most useful for ongoing management -- abstract.

description: CMB polarization data is usually analyzed using $E$ and $B$ modes because they are scalars quantities under rotations along the lines of sight and have distinct physical origins. We explore the possibility of using the Stokes parameters $Q$ and $U$ for complementary analysis and consistency checks in the context of searches for non-Gaussianity. We show that the Minkowski Functionals (MFs) of $Q,U$ are invariant under local rotations along the lines of sight even though $Q,U$ are spin-2 variables, for full sky analysis. The invariance does not hold for incomplete sky. For local type primordial non-Gaussianity, when we compare the non-Gaussian deviations of MFs for $Q,U$ to what is obtained for $E$ mode or temperature fluctuations, we find that the amplitude is about an order of magnitude lower and the shapes of the deviations are different. This finding can be useful in distinguishing local type non-Gaussianity from other origins of non-Gaussianity in the observed data. Lastly, we analyze the sensitivity of the amplitudes of the MFs for $Q$, $U$ and the number density of singularities of the total polarization intensity to the tensor-to-scalar ratio, $r$, and find that all of them decrease as $r$ increases.

Aqueous fluid advection: a plausible mechanism for heating the shallow crust to form HTLP metamorphic belts
Creators: name: Stuart, Catherine A.
Publisher: name: Macquarie University

description: The Wongwibinda Metamorphic Complex is a High-Temperature Low-Pressure metamorphic belt in the Southern New England Fold Belt composed of Carboniferous meta-pelitic schists, characterised by a steep (<55 °C km-1) metamorphic field gradient. While the regional metamorphism is well documented in literature, presently there is no suitable mechanism to explain the elevated temperatures of the crust. A thermal anomaly is recognised in the centre of the complex, evident through the distribution of cordierite-bearing rock around folded quartzite units. Petrographic analysis reveals a vein network of complex mineralogy through the schists of the aureole. From field relationships, the overall structure of the quartzite appears analogous to a large quartz vein sequence grown during regional deformation. EBSD mapping of banding in the quartzite reveals only slight similarities compared to the microstructure of a quartz vein in the schists. Using XRF data, attempts to classify the quartzite based on protolith were inconclusive. Whole rock chemistry analysis revealed metasomatism through the aureole, characterised by Fe, Mn, K and heavy REE enrichment and Ca depletion compared to regional values. Similar enrichment and depletion values are observed in the quartzite chemistry. Comparing mineral chemistry between the schists, veins in the schists and the quartzite allowed estimations of fluid-rock interaction which agreed with metasomatic changes in the schists. Following the evidence for metasomatism in the schists, the quartzite is established as a site of high fluid flux, with fluids driving the metamorphic evolution of this site. An aqueous fluid advection model is proposed, whereby pulses of hot fluids migrate upwards through the crust and are focussed through the WMC. Upon reaching the complex, they are diverted and slowed, and phases begin to crystallise out of the fluid. Transported by the fluids, additional heat enters the surrounding meta-sedimentary sequences, driving metamorphism coeval with metasomatism driven by the pulses of fluid. Whilst this is model best fits evidence found in this study it is by no means confirmed, and further research is suggested into both the thermal and metasomatic history of these rocks to further constrain the mechanisms driving HTLP metamorphism.

description: We show that in SO(10) models, a Yukawa sector consisting of a real $10_H$, a real $120_H$ and a complex $126_H$ of Higgs fields can provide a realistic fit to all fermion masses and mixings, including the neutrino sector. Although the group theory of SO(10) demands that the $10_H$ and $120_H$ be real, most constructions complexify these fields and impose symmetries exterior to SO(10) to achieve predictivity. The proposed new framework with real $10_H$ and real $120_H$ relies only on SO(10) gauge symmetry, and yet has a limited number of Yukawa parameters. Our analysis shows that while there are restrictions on the observables, a good fit to the entire fermion spectrum can be realized. Unification of gauge couplings is achieved with an intermediate scale Pati-Salam gauge symmetry. Proton decay branching ratios are calculable, with the leading decay modes being $p \rightarrow \overlineν π^+$ and $p \rightarrow e^+ π^0$.

description: Work zones are unique in geometry and traffic management, utilizing special traffic signs, standard channelizing devices, appropriate barriers, and pavement markings. These configurations can introduce unexpected driving conditions, potentially posing risks to drivers. This analysis aims to explore potential differences in contributing factors between work-zone crashes where geometry was identified as a factor and those where it was non-geometry factor. To gain insights into driver injury severities in single-vehicle work-zone crashes, this study analyzed work zone crash data from Florida. This study employed random parameters logit models, accommodating potential variations in parameter estimates’ means and variances. The dataset encompassed a wide array of factors known to influence driver injury severity, encompassing crash characteristics, vehicle attributes, roadway features, prevailing traffic volume, driver profiles, and spatial and temporal considerations. This analysis yielded significantly distinct parameters for work-zone crashes, distinguishing between geometry-related and non-geometry-related factors (primarily the human factors). This distinction suggests a complex interplay between these factors. Notably, the marginal effects of individual parameter estimates exhibited marked differences between these two categories – geometry and non-geometry factors. These findings contribute to the growing body of research indicating that geometric restrictions within work zones introduce a distinct set of risk factors compared to non-geometry-related factors. Recognizing the significance of geometric restrictions, beyond typical driving conditions, holds the implications for enhancing safety within various work zone configurations and offers valuable insights for crash scene investigators to pinpoint contributing factors accurately.

description: The spin noise signal in the Faraday-rotation-based detection technique can be considered equally correctly either as a manifestation of the spin-flip Raman effect or as a result of light scattering in the medium with fluctuating gyrotropy. In this paper, we present rigorous description of the signal formation process upon heterodyning of the field scattered due to fluctuating gyrotropy. Along with conventional single-beam experimental arrangement, we consider here a more complicated, but more informative, two-beam configuration that implies the use of an auxiliary light beam passing through the same scattering volume and delivering additional scattered field to the detector. We show that the signal in the spin noise spectroscopy arising due to heterodyning of the scattered field is formed only by the scattered field components whose wave vectors coincide with those of the probe beam. Therefore, in principle, the detected signal in spin noise spectroscopy can be increased by increasing overlap of the two fields in the momentum space. We also show that, in the two-beam geometry, contribution of the auxiliary (tilted) beam to the detected signal is represented by Fourier transform of the gyrotropy relief at the difference of two wave vectors. This effect can be used to study spin correlations by means of noise spectroscopy.

description: Autechre are contemporary electronic musicians from Suffolk and London. Having an active recording career since 1993, Sean Booth and Rob Brown are highly regarded in their field by academics and musicians alike, despite their lack of formal musical training. Whilst not limited to working within a particular musical framework, Autechre's works incorporate a range of musical approaches with compositional elements emerging from chance-based operations, atonal and rule-based techniques, to more contemporary methods of sound synthesis and sample playback manipulation. This thesis aims to explore the nature of Autechre's stylistic tendencies through an analysis of a selection of recurring themes throughout their work, including their characteristic use of percussive rhythmic complexity, irregular rhythm and dynamically changing tempos, complex evolving event control structures and melodic patterns, audio effects, and the combination of these approaches that makes their work identifiably 'Autechre'. This thesis consists of a written research project combined with practical recorded examples. The written thesis firstly gives an overview of Autechre's works prior to 1998 and isolates particular elements peculiar to Autechre. The next sections provide the core focus on the duo's works from 1998 to 2005 during which sample manipulation, spectral manipulation and more radical effects and signal processing move to the fore. The author's own background in popular music studies is used as a basis for the analysis of Autechre's works. The results of this analysis are discussed with regard to technical methods for (re)creating Autechre-like works. Focussing on Autechre-like material and processes, the practical recorded works use the Max/MSP software environment as a compositional aid to texture musical input (both MIDI events and audio) and to generate musical output. The musical content generated is used to drive synthesis hardware and software, as well as to manipulate and rearrange audio samples. Examples of the programs written in Max/MSP are discussed and their musical output is illustrated throughout the thesis, facilitating discussion of the use of algorithmic processes in musical generation. This research on Autechre's creative practices aims to highlight examples of contemporary electronic music practices that expand traditional compositional methods and resist traditional Western musicological methods of discussion and categorisation by focussing on abstracted techniques for musical creation such as meta-level pattern control. As such, a focus on process as compositional aesthetic emerges over and above the discussion of surface-level musical text.

description: Between 2010 and 2020, an annual average of more than 70,000 pedestrians were injured in U.S. motor vehicle crashes. Pedestrian fatalities increased steadily over that period, outpacing increases in vehicle occupant fatalities. Strategies for reducing pedestrian injuries include pedestrian crash prevention and improved vehicle design for protection of pedestrians in the crashes that cannot be prevented. This study focuses on understanding trends in injuries sustained in U.S. pedestrian crashes to inform continuing efforts to improve pedestrian crash protection in passenger vehicles. More than 160,000 adult pedestrians injured in motor vehicle crashes who were admitted to U.S. trauma centers between 2007 and 2016 were drawn from the National Trauma Data Bank (NTDB) Research Data Sets. The injuries in those cases were used to explore the shifting patterns of pedestrian injuries. The proportion of pedestrians with thorax injuries increased 3.0 percentage points to 30.7% of trauma center–admitted NTDB pedestrian cases over the 10 years studied, and the proportion with pelvis/hip injuries increased to 21.2%. The proportion of cases with head injuries fell to 48.6%, and the percentage of pedestrians with lower extremity injury (44%) did not change significantly over the 10 year period. Assessment of possible reasons for the shifts suggested that increasing numbers of sport utility vehicles, population increases among the oldest age groups, and improvements in pedestrian protection in U.S. passenger vehicles likely contributed to, but did not completely account for, the relative changes in injury frequency in each body region. More important than the reasons for the shifts in the relative frequency of injury to each body region are the conclusions that can be drawn regarding priorities for pedestrian protection research. Though head/face and lower extremity injuries remained the most frequently injured body regions in adult pedestrians admitted to NTDB trauma centers, the relative frequency of thorax and pelvis/hip injuries increased steadily, underlining the increasing importance of pedestrian protection research on these body regions.

description: We study the impact of a free carrier reservoir on the optical properties of excitonic and trionic complexes in a MoSe$_2$ monolayer at cryogenic temperatures. By applying photodoping via a non-resonant pump laser the electron density can be controlled in our sample and in turn the exciton and trion densities can be tuned. We find a significant increase of the trion binding energy in the presence of an induced electron gas both in power- and in time-resolved photoluminescence spectra. This behaviour is reproduced within the original variational approach that takes into account both screening and phase space filling effects.

description: В статье сделано описание феномена «похода в кино» в позднесоветский период 1970–1980-х. Авторы рассматривают не коммерческую эффективность кинопроката, не его техническую организацию, а его роль в социокультурной среде, в формировании определенной атмосферы эпохи. Процесс похода начинался с поиска информации о фильмах и их показах в городских кинотеатрах, которая была не столь доступна, как в наши дни. Нередко получение этой информации требовало выхода на улицу и изучения уличных киноафиш. Покупка билета в кино была связана с долгим пребыванием в очереди, со сложными ситуациями коммуникации и конфликтами с другими потенциальными зрителями. Кинотеатр являл собой более закрытое помещение, куда не впускали без билета. Анализируется роль «кассирш» и «контролерш» как сакральных фигур, в чьих руках находятся «ключи» доступа к территории развлечения. В статье описаны типичные экстерьеры кинотеатра со стеклянной стеной и навесом над центральным входом, а также типичные интерьеры фойе позднесоветских кинотеатров. В сопоставлении с неосуществленными замыслами строительства дворца киноискусства в сталинскую эпоху очевидны радикальные перемены, происходящие в концепции кинопоказа.

description: Network Function Virtualization is considered one of the key technologies for developing the future mobile networks. In this paper, we propose a theoretical framework to evaluate the performance of an LTE virtualized Mobility Management Entity (vMME) hosted in a data center. This theoretical framework consists of i) a queuing network to model the vMME in a data center, and ii) analytic expressions to estimate the overall mean system delay and the signaling workload to be processed by the vMME. We validate our mathematical model by simulation. One direct use of the proposed model is vMME dimensioning, i.e., to compute the number of vMME processing instances to provide a target system delay given the number of users in the system. Additionally, the paper includes a scalability analysis of the system. In our study, we consider the billing model and a data center setup of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud service, and estimate experimentally the processing time of MME processing instances for different LTE control procedures. For the considered setup, our results show that a vMME is scalable for signaling workloads up to 37000 LTE control procedures per second for a target mean system delay of 1 ms. The database performance assumed imposes this limit in the system scalability.

description: Context. Stellar spectral variability on timescales of a day and longer, arising from magnetic surface features such as dark spots and bright faculae, is an important noise source when characterising extra-solar planets. Current 1D models of faculae do not capture the geometric properties and fail to reproduce observed solar facular contrasts. Magnetoconvection simulations provide facular contrasts accounting for geometry. Aims. We calculate facular contrast spectra from magnetoconvection models of the solar photosphere with a view to improve (a) future parameter determinations for planets with early G type host stars and (b) reconstructions of solar spectral variability. Methods. Regions of a solar twin (G2, log g=4.44) atmosphere with a range of initial average vertical magnetic fields (100 to 500~G) were simulated using a 3D radiation-magnetohydrodynamics code, MURaM, and synthetic intensity spectra were calculated from the ultraviolet (149.5~nm) to the far infrared (160000~nm) with the ATLAS9 radiative transfer code. Nine viewing angles were investigated to account for facular positions across most of the stellar disc. Results. Contrasts of the radiation from simulation boxes with different levels of magnetic flux relative to an atmosphere with no magnetic field are a complicated function of position, wavelength and magnetic field strength that is not reproduced by 1D facular models. Generally, contrasts increase towards the limb, but at UV wavelengths a saturation and decrease are observed close to the limb. Contrasts also increase strongly from the visible to the UV; there is a rich spectral dependence, with marked peaks in molecular bands and strong spectral lines. At disc centre, a complex relationship with magnetic field was found and areas of strong magnetic field can appear either dark or bright, depending on wavelength...

description: Джон Тавенер (1944–2013) безусловно не был церковным композитором. Однако, полагать, что он не стремился создавать музыку для богослужения, было бы неверно. Одной из главных идей Тавенера является возвращение к живым традициям в музыке, утерянным, по его мнению, на Западе. В поисках глубоких оснований музыки и соответствующего им музыкального языка композитор обращается к традициям различных народов, культур и религиозных конфессий. Православная богослужебная традиция и русская культура занимают в творчестве Тавенера важное место, – с ними неразрывно связан путь постижения и претворения традиций в музыке композитора на протяжении всей его жизни, и в особенности центральный период его творчества длиною более 20 лет, – с конца 70-х до конца 90-х годов XX века. Джон Тавенер интуитивно уловил связь православной богослужебной традиции с традициями русской культуры и воплотил ее в своих произведениях. В статье рассказывается о стремлении композитора писать музыку для богослужения, его мечте о возникновении системы английских православных гласов и первом достижении Тавенера в создании этой системы в его «Православном Всенощном Бдении

description: В статье рассмотрен феномен возникновения в российском кинематографе жанра биографического фильма, посвященного великим русским писателям – Л.Н. Толстому и Ф.М. Достоевскому. Короткометра жка Якова Протазанова «Уход великого старца» (1912), созданная в жанре биографической драмы, проложила дорогу отечественным байопикам и, опережая время, очертила широкий круг культурной проблематики, всегда дискуссионной. Характер связи байопика с реальными биографиями, судьбы исторических личностей и границы их кино-интерпретаций, сочетание правды и вымысла в байопике, дозволенное и недозволенное в биографическом жанре – эти и другие проблемы продолжают определять подходы к созданию картин-биографий. Статья анализирует первый в СССР звуковой полнометражный фильм-биографию, посвященный Ф.М. Достоевскому, «Мертвый дом» (1932), который показал, насколько трактовка кинематографических образов русских классиков зависит от веяний и настроений времени и как им готовы (или не готовы) следовать художники кино. Климат и атмосфера в стране тридцатых годов ХХ века не способствовали продвижению личности и творчества Достоевского в широкие народные массы с помощью столь мощного пропагандиста, каким становился кинематограф.

description: Some close-in gaseous exoplanets are nearly in Roche-lobe contact, and previous studies show tidal decay can drive hot Jupiters into contact during the main sequence of their host stars. Improving upon a previous model, we present a revised model for mass transfer in a semi-detached binary system that incorporates an extended atmosphere around the donor and allows for an arbitrary mass ratio. We apply this new formalism to hypothetical, confirmed, and candidate planetary systems to estimate mass loss rates and compare with models of evaporative mass loss. Overflow may be significant for hot Neptunes out to periods of $\sim$ 2 days, while for hot Jupiters, it may only be important inward of 0.5 days. We find that CoRoT-24 b may be losing mass at a rate of more than an Earth mass in a Gyr. The hot Jupiter WASP-12 b may lose an Earth mass in a Myr, while the putative planet orbiting a T-Tauri star PTFO8-8695 might shed its atmosphere in a few Myrs. We point out that the orbital expansion that can accompany mass transfer may be less effective than previously considered because the gas accreted by the host star removes some of the system's angular momentum from the orbit, but simple scaling arguments suggest that the Roche-lobe overflow might remain stable. Consequently, the recently discovered small planets in ultra-short-periods ($
