description: Using spatially resolved spectroscopy from SDSS-IV MaNGA we have demonstrated that low ionisation emission line regions (LIERs) in local galaxies result from photoionisation by hot evolved stars, not active galactic nuclei. LIERs are ubiquitous in both quiescent galaxies and in the central regions of galaxies where star formation takes place at larger radii. We refer to these two classes of galaxies as extended LIER (eLIER) and central LIER (cLIER) galaxies respectively. cLIERs are late type galaxies located around the green valley, in the transition region between the star formation main sequence and quiescent galaxies. These galaxies display regular disc rotation in both stars and gas, although featuring a higher central stellar velocity dispersion than star forming galaxies of the same mass. cLIERs are consistent with being slowly quenched inside-out; the transformation is associated with massive bulges, pointing towards the importance of bulge growth via secular evolution. eLIERs are morphologically early types and are indistinguishable from passive galaxies devoid of line emission in terms of their stellar populations, morphology and central stellar velocity dispersion. Ionised gas in eLIERs shows both disturbed and disc-like kinematics. When a large-scale flow/rotation is observed in the gas, it is often misaligned relative to the stellar component. These features indicate that eLIERs are passive galaxies harbouring a residual cold gas component, acquired mostly via external accretion. Importantly, quiescent galaxies devoid of line emission reside in denser environments and have significantly higher satellite fraction than eLIERs. Environmental effects thus represent the likely cause for the existence of line-less galaxies on the red sequence.

The Impact of Events Sponsorship on Purchase Intention in the case of Dashen Beer
Creators: name: Tafere, Muluken
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: Sponsorship constitutes one of marketing's communication tools. The main objective of this paper was to investigate the impact of events sponsorship on purchase intention. The hypothesis that consists of four independent variables and one dependent variable was developed in parallel with research questions and research objectives. The representatives of the study were taken from Deberberhan using convenience sampling. A total of 390 questionnaires were distributed to events held in Deberberhan and 378 were returned. But, 371 were valid and used for statistical analysis. Due to the nature of study undertaken, explanatory research design was used. Based on the exploration from theoretical and empirical review, event attendees were found to be influenced their purchase intention by multiple factors. There were a positive and significant effect relationship between Brand image and purchase intention with effect of (=0.342), Event - Sponsor Fit (With effect of =0.244) and Brand Awareness (With effect of =0.477). Conversely, there were no significant relationship between Attitude toward sponsor (=0.057) and purchase intention. Expect p-value of Attitude toward sponsor, all the factors were significant with p-value less than p=0.05 but the p-value of Attitude toward sponsor were not less than the common alpha level of 0.05, which indicates that, statistically not significant. The regression analysis for this study specified that the independent variables are predictors of purchase intention which is confirmed by R square 0.499. The factors predict the value of purchase intention by 50%. Brand image, Event - Sponsor Fit and Brand Awareness were variables that highly influence purchase intention of event attendees. The study revealed that Attitude toward sponsor are insignificant and don't influence attendees purchase intention.

description: We present new experimental measurements of resonance strengths in the astrophysical 23Al(p, γ)24Si reaction, constraining the pathway of nucleosynthesis beyond 22Mg in X-ray burster scenarios. Specifically, we have performed the first measurement of the (d, p) reaction using a radioactive beam of 23Ne to explore levels in 24Ne, the mirror analog of 24Si. Four strong single-particle states were observed and corresponding neutron spectroscopic factors were extracted with a precision of {\sim}20{\%}. Using these spectroscopic factors, together with mirror state identifications, we have reduced uncertainties in the strength of the key {\ell} = 0 resonance at Er= 157 keV, in the astrophysical 23Al(p, γ) reaction, by a factor of 4. Our results show that the 22Mg(p, γ)23Al(p, γ) pathway dominates over the competing 22Mg(α, p) reaction in all but the most energetic X-ray burster events (T>0.85GK), significantly affecting energy production and the preservation of hydrogen fuel.

description: Categorisation is arguably the most important organising principle insemantic memory. However, elements that are not in a categorical relationcan be dynamically grouped together when the context provides a common theme for these elements. In the field of sentence (and discourse) comprehension, alternatives to a focused element can be thought of as a set of elements determined by a theme given in the utterance context. According to Alternative Semantics (Rooth, 1985, 1992), the main function of linguistic focus is to introduce a set of alternatives to the focused element within an utterance. Here, we will investigate the contribution ofthe utterance context to the composition of focus alternative sets. Specifically, we test whether a focus alternative set can contain elements that belong to different taxonomic categories (i.e., that are not closely semantically related). Using a behavioural probe recognition experiment, we show that participants activate elements from another taxonomic category than the focused element as part of sentence comprehension. This finding suggests that the composition of a focus alternative set is not simply based on semantic relations between the members of the set and the focused element, but that contextual relations also play a crucial role.

description: We study the collective motion of self-propelled particles affected by the spatial-dependent noise based on the Vicsek rules. Only the particles inside the special region will affected by noise. The consideration of the spatial-dependent noise is closer to reality because of the complexity of the environment. Interestingly, we find that there exists an optimal amplitude of noise to adjust the average motional direction of the system. Particular orientation of the noisy region makes the motional direction of the system parallel to the orientation of the noisy region. The adjustment of the motional direction of the system also depends on the shape, the proportion and the spatial distribution of the noisy region. Our findings may inspire the capture of the key features of collective motion underlying various phenomena.

Hier werden solche Mikrokapseln, die aus den natürlichen und als Lebensmittelzusatzstoff zugelassenen Biopolymeren Pektin, Alginat und Schellack bestehen, durch die NMR-Mikroskopie charakterisiert. Insbesondere werden Verfahren beschrieben, die eine Bewertung der Anwendungseignung ermöglichen. Dazu werden beispielsweise die Durchlässigkeiten der Kapselmembranen mit Hilfe paramagnetischer Kontrastmittel quantitativ ermittelt. Weiterhin wird die Stabilität der Mikrokapseln unter simulierten Magen-Darm-Bedingungen studiert. Zusätzlich wird hier die Auswirkung verschiedener Präparationsprozesse auf die Morphologie der Kapseln charakterisiert. Durch eine ortsaufgelöste Messung von Relaxationszeiten und Diffusionskoeffizienten ist es auch gelungen, die nanoskopische Struktur der Membran-Hydrogele zu bestimmen.

We illustrate the theory with classical examples describing the dynamics of solids of revolution rolling without sliding on a plane. In these cases, using the existence of two conserved quantities we obtain, by means of 'gauge transformations' and symmetry reduction, genuine Poisson brackets describing the reduced dynamics.

description: Data transformation is an essential step in data science. While experts primarily use programming to transform their data, there is an increasing need to support non-programmers with user interface-based tools. With the rapid development in interaction techniques and computing environments, we report our empirical findings about the effects of interaction techniques and environments on performing data transformation tasks. Specifically, we studied the potential benefits of direct interaction and virtual reality (VR) for data transformation. We compared gesture interaction versus a standard WIMP user interface, each on the desktop and in VR. With the tested data and tasks, we found time performance was similar between desktop and VR. Meanwhile, VR demonstrates preliminary evidence to better support provenance and sense-making throughout the data transformation process. Our exploration of performing data transformation in VR also provides initial affirmation for enabling an iterative and fully immersive data science workflow.

description: The Quantum Alternating Operator Ansatz (QAOA+) is an extension of the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA), where the search space is smaller in solving constrained combinatorial optimization problems. However, QAOA+ requires a trivial feasible solution as the initial state, so it cannot be used for problems that are difficult to find a trivial feasible solution. For simplicity, we call them as Non-Trivial-Feasible-Solution Problems (NTFSP). In this paper, we take the Minimum Exact Cover (MEC) problem as an example, studying how to apply QAOA+ to NTFSP. As we know, exact covering (EC) is the feasible space of MEC problem, which has no trivial solutions. To overcome the above problem, the EC problem is divided into two steps to solve. First, disjoint sets are obtained, which is equivalent to solving independent sets. Second, on this basis, the sets covering all elements (i.e., EC) are solved. In other words, we transform MEC into a multi-objective constrained optimization problem, where feasible space consists of independent sets that are easy to find. Finally, we also verify the feasibility of the algorithm from numerical experiments. Our method provides a feasible way for applying QAOA+ to NTFSP, and is expected to expand its application significantly.

description: A low-cost measurement system using filtering of measurements for two-wheeled balancing robot stabilisation purposes has been addressed in this paper. In particular, a measurement system based on gyroscope, accelerometer, and encoder has been considered. The measurements have been corrected for deterministic disturbances and then filtered with Kalman, $α$-$β$ type, and complementary filters. A quantitative assessment of selected filters has been given. As a result, the complete structure of a measurement system has been obtained. The performance of the proposed measurement system has been validated experimentally by using a dedicated research rig.

When an automorphism of the Grassmannian preserves the fibers, we show that the Grassmannian is necessarily of m-dimensional linear subspaces in a symplectic vector space of dimension 2m, and the linear map is the Lagrangian involution. The Wronski map for a self-adjoint linear differential operator and pole placement map for symmetric linear systems are natural examples.

Year: 2015

description: The emergence of Interest free financial system has created a new dimension to the current economic models and financial developments. Hence, use of such innovations is highly appreciated even if its implementations depends on the customers intentions. Therefore, this study is concerned with examining the willingness of the Ethiopian customers to use interest free banking and the factors that may influence their decision; because, customers are the ultimate users of the products to be adopted. The results showed that perceived relative advantage, perceived compatibility, customers' level of awareness and subjective norm have a significant positive impact on the attitude towards interest free banking in commercial bank of Ethiopia. Likewise, valued group opinion was also found to have a significant positive influence on subjective norm. In addition, self efficacy was found to have a significant positive influence on perceived behavioral control and finally Attitude, Subjective norm and Perceived behavioral control were found to have a significant Positive impact on the customers' intention. However, perceived complexity does not have any significant influence on attitude and perceived trust have a negative influence, Media have negative significant influence on subjective norm, and facilitating conditions have negative significant influence on perceived behavioral control as well. The results have also shown that the type of window and account customers associated with influenced customers' intention. In addition the result indicates as 100% of Interest free banking account holders are Muslim. Customers of the bank are less Aware, Trust and Complicated with Interest free banking offered by bank, while, perceive as better, compatible, initiative to know and use; and well influenced by social pressure and internal and external constraint to use Interest free banking. This study is one of the earliest to be conducted on customers' intention and willingness to use interest free banking in Commercial bank of Ethiopia at the institution level and Ethiopia in general. The study also extends the decomposed theory of planned behavior to a different setting and also to a different area of study. Keywords: Commercial bank of Ethiopia, Decomposed theory of planned behavior and Interest free banking.

description: Das zentrale philosophische Problem dieser Studie ist die Frage, ob die intuitive Erkenntnis im Erkenntnisprozeß eine Rolle spielt oder nicht und – da die Frage bejaht wird – welche Rolle dies sein kann. Das Problem ist vielschichtig und richtet sich an verschiedene Disziplinen: (a) Die Frage nach der Explikation des Intuitionsbegriffs ist zuallererst Aufgabe der Philosophie. (b) Die Frage nach den spezifischen Merkmalen der Intuition ist insbesondere eine Frage an die Wahrnehmungs- und Entwicklungspsychologie, sowie die empirischen Neurowissenschaften und die theoretische Neuroinformatik, die Aussagen zum erkennenden Subjekt S machen, aber auch eine Frage an die Mathematik, die eines der wichtigsten Instrumentarien für die Erforschung des zu erkennenden Objekts O liefert. (g) Die Frage nach den Funktionen und Grenzen der Intuition verlangt die Analyse spezieller Theorienkonstruktionen der Physik, an denen sich exemplarisch die Unverzichtbarkeit der intuitiven Erkenntnis nachweisen läßt. Diese Fragen werden in systematischer Absicht behandelt, wobei es zunächst um neuere Einsichten zur intuitiven Erkenntnis auf dem Boden empirischer Wissenschaften geht, dann wird die Diskussion mit der historischen Perspektive verknüpft und die Reflexionen der traditionellen Erkenntnislehren kritisch gewürdigt.

description: Motivated by the problem of zero-error broadcasting, we introduce a new notion of graph capacity, termed $ρ$-capacity, that generalizes the Shannon capacity of a graph. We derive upper and lower bounds on the $ρ$-capacity of arbitrary graphs, and provide a Lovász-type upper bound for regular graphs. We study the behavior of the $ρ$-capacity under two graph operations: the strong product and the disjoint union. Finally, we investigate the connection between the structure of a graph and its $ρ$-capacity.

description: We explore Calico, a miniature relocatable wearable system with fast and precise locomotion for on-body interaction, actuation and sensing. Calico consists of a two-wheel robot and an on-cloth track mechanism or "railway," on which the robot travels. The robot is self-contained, small in size, and has additional sensor expansion options. The track system allows the robot to move along the user's body and reach any predetermined location. It also includes rotational switches to enable complex routing options when diverging tracks are presented. We report the design and implementation of Calico with a series of technical evaluations for system performance. We then present a few application scenarios, and user studies to understand the potential of Calico as a dance trainer and also explore the qualitative perception of our scenarios to inform future research in this space.
Measurement of $W$ boson angular distributions in events with high transverse momentum jets at $\sqrt{s}=$ 8 TeV using the ATLAS detector

description: The $W$ boson angular distribution in events with high transverse momentum jets is measured using data collected by the ATLAS experiment from proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s}=$ 8 TeV at the Large Hadron Collider, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb$^{-1}$. The focus is on the contributions to $W$ + jets processes from real $W$ emission, which is achieved by studying events where a muon is observed close to a high transverse momentum jet. At small angular separations, these contributions are expected to be large. Various theoretical models of this process are compared to the data in terms of the absolute cross-section and the angular distributions of the muon from the leptonic $W$ decay.

description: Die Innenstädte als Handelsstandorte sind seit Jahren einem intensiven Strukturwandel ausgesetzt. Neben der Ansiedlung von Handelsflächen an dezentralen Standorten, stellen vor allem der Niedergang der Warenhäuser und die zunehmende Ausweitung des Online-Handels eine Herausforderung für den innerstädtischen Einzelhandel und seine überkommenen Strukturen dar. Aktuell verleiht die Expansion von Einkaufszen-tren an innerstädtischen Standorten diesem Veränderungsprozess eine besondere Dynamik. Einerseits besteht die Chance die mit der Warenhaus-Krise einhergehenden Attraktivitätsverluste durch die Ansiedlung von Einkaufszentren in den Innenstädten auszugleichen. Andererseits sind auch Befürchtungen durchaus berechtigt, die in der Ansiedlung innerstädtischer Einkaufszentren eher eine weitere Gefährdung für die Entwicklung der Innenstädte sehen. Vor allem die Standortwahl übt entscheidenden Einfluss auf Quantität, Qualität und Intensität der städtebaulichen Auswirkungen von Einzelhandelsnutzungen im Allgemeinen und Einkaufzentren im Besonderen aus. Folglich bildet eine - unter städtebaulichen Gesichtspunkten entwickelte - Standorttypologie den Ausgangspunkt, um Ursachen, Entstehung und Ausprägungen von durch Einkaufszentren hervorgerufenen Wirkungen nachzugehen und ihren Stellenwert in Stadtentwicklung, Städtebau und Planungsrecht zu ermitteln. Vertiefend werden Akteure aus Planung, Wirtschaft und Handel zu den eingetretenen positiven und negativen städtebaulichen Auswirkungen (ex-post-Perspektive) von 22 ausgewählten realisierten Einkaufszentren unterschiedlicher Standorttypen in NRW befragt. Da mit der Ansiedlung innerstädtischer Einkaufszentren ein ausgeprägtes Chancen-Risiko-Verhältnis in Bezug auf die Entwicklung der Innenstädte einher geht, werden die gewonnenen Erkenntnisse zu zwei planerischen Strategien verdichtet. Zum einen ein projektbezogener Qualifizierungsansatz, der vor allem die Grundlage bietet, potenzielle Risiken einzuschätzen und gezielt abzubauen. Zum anderen ein integrativer Ansatz, der die Ansiedlung von Einkaufszentren als möglichen Ausgangspunkt bzw. als wesentlichen Bestandteil einer zukunftsorientierten Innenstadt- und Zentrenentwicklung begreift. Abschließend werden die Rahmenbedingungen und Grundzüge eines Planungsprozesses dargestellt, dessen Ziel es ist, Chancen, Potenziale und Synergien systematisch für die Innenstadt als Mittelpunkt der Europäischen Stadt zu erschließen und nutzbar zu machen.

description: We present a gravity dual to a quantum material with tilted Dirac cone in 2+1 dimensional spacetime. In this many-body system the electronics degrees of freedom are strongly-coupled, constitute a Dirac fluid and admit an effective hydrodynamic description. The holographic techniques are applied to compute the thermodynamic variables and hydrodynamic transports of a fluid on the boundary of an asymptotically anti de Sitter spacetime with a boosted black hole in the bulk. We find that these materials exhibit deviations from the normal Dirac fluid which rely on the tilt of the Dirac cone. In particular, the shear viscosity to entropy density ratio is reduced and the KSS bound is violated in this system. This prediction can be experimentally verified in two-dimensional quantum materials ({\it e.g.} organic $α$-({BEDT}-{TTF})$_2$I$_3$ and $8Pmmn$ borophene) with tilted Dirac cone.

For relatively stiff (piecewise) polytropic EOSs, we find supramassive triaxial solutions whose masses exceed the maximum mass of the spherical solution, but are always lower than those of axisymmetric equilibriums. The difference in the maximum masses of triaxial and axisymmetric solutions depends sensitively on the EOS. If the difference turns out to be only about 10%, it will be strong evidence that the EOS of high density matter becomes substantially softer in the core of neutron stars. This finding opens a novel way to probe phase transitions of high density nuclear matter using detections of gravitational waves from new born neutron stars or magnetars under fallback accretion.

description: The general objective of this research was to assess the effects of internal service quality on firm performance. It was an undertaking to verify the hypothesis that dictate the influence of each specific internal service quality dimension on firm's performance. The research aimed at testing the influence of independent variables such as management of expectation (including training programmes, customer expectations) and service reliability (including cross training and ethical services) on firm performance in case of hotel industry in Addis Ababa. Regarding the research methodology, deductive approach or quantitative research inquiry was utilized as a research design. Sample of 100 participants out of 119 hotels were selected using random sampling technique, 92 completely filled questionnaires were returned. The questionnaires and recorded documents served as data collection instruments. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics such as correlation, analysis of variance and other descriptive statistics. In conclusion, the dependent and independent variables scored a positive and significant correlation. The results of the study come up with new findings that greater portion of hotel performance for last five years was due to service quality performance. The result shows the level of internal service quality and its dimensions had significant influence on firm performance. The research have faced major limitations including existence of non-responses questionnaires, inclusion of positively worded items, limited research existed in service quality and unwilling of the respondents.

description: The future gravitational wave (GW) observations of compact binaries and their possible electromagnetic counterparts may be used to probe the nature of the extra dimension. It is widely accepted that gravitons and photons are the only two completely confirmed objects that can travel along null geodesics in our four-dimensional space-time. However, if there exist extra dimensions and only GWs can propagate freely in the bulk, the causal propagations of GWs and electromagnetic waves (EMWs) are in general different. In this paper, we study null geodesics of GWs and EMWs in a five-dimensional anti-de Sitter space-time in the presence of the curvature of the universe. We show that for general cases the horizon radius of GW is longer than EMW within equal time. Taking the GW150914 event detected by the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory and the X-ray event detected by the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor as an example, we study how the curvature $k$ and the constant curvature radius $l$ affect the horizon radii of GW and EMW in the de Sitter and Einstein-de Sitter models of the universe. This provides an alternative method for probing extra dimension through future GW observations of compact binaries and their electromagnetic counterparts.

description: Chirping frequency patterns have been observed in the electron cyclotron emission from strongly nonequilibrium plasma confined in a table-top mirror magnetic trap. Such patterns are typical for the formation of nonlinear phase space structures in a proximity of the wave-particle resonances of a kinetically unstable plasma, also known as the "holes and clumps" mechanism. Our data provides the first experimental evidence for acting of this mechanism in the electron cyclotron frequency domain.

description: NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) are a class of drugs with analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic effects. Diclofenac sodium is one of the world's most widely-prescribed NSAIDs. Meloxicam is another NSAID that was approved in the last several years. Treatment with NSAIDs may result in renal damage. Relatively, little is known about com-parative nephrotoxicity of NSAIDs. Therefore, the present study was designed to compare the adverse effects of diclofenac sodium and meloxicam on renal tissue in rats. Forty eight Wistar male rats were randomly assigned into 3 groups of 16 animals each. Group C served as normal control and received normal saline. Group D and M received diclofenac sodium (2.3 mg/kg/day) and meloxicam (2.3 mg/kg/day), respectively. After 17 days, all rats were scarified. Their kidneys were then harvested and processed for histological examination. In addition to cellular details, renal tubular count and diameter were assessed with the light microscope. The data were analyzed using SPSS software. We found that the mean number of renal tubules was significantly lower in group D, than in group C. Moreover, the mean renal tubular diameter was significantly higher in group D than in group C. The present study showed that a considerable degree of nephrotoxicity resulted from diclofenac sodium, compared to meloxicam. We suggest that diclofenac sodium can be replaced with meloxicam.

Determinant Factors Affecting Employees" Performance in Ethio Telecom Zonal Offices: The Case of Addis Ababa Zonal Offices
Creators: name: Masresha, Mulatu
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2014

description: The purpose of this paper is to explain the determinants of employees' performance in Ethio telecom within Addis Ababa city by examining the determinant factors of motivation, ability and some bio data variables in Ethio telecom six Zonal offices. The quantitative research approach used through primary data collected from 140 respondents, individual performance, an ordered categorical variable, was regressed on motivation, ability, and certain bio data variables. The respondents were selected using stratified sampling technique. Statistical analyses were performed with the data in order to test the four main research hypotheses. An ordered logistic regression model was employed in the research. The main findings from results of the STATA routine indicate that, in Ethio telecom, ability has no significant effect on employees' performance. On the other hand, motivation positively determines performance until some stage of experience, beyond which performance declines with experience. Performance increases with age until some point and beyond that point performance declines with an increasing age. Training also significantly determines the performance of employees. Further research is required into the dynamic nature of employees' performance. Panel data econometric models might be used to explain the determinants of performance across time. Similarly, future empirical researches in the area in question will be helpful to consider space-time differences in explaining determinants of employees' performance. Currently, many organizations like Ethio telecom are striving for the system of performance-based pay. This research has policy implications in relation to designing an effective performance-based pay system. On the other hand, the study contributes to the empirical literature, providing a clearer picture of the determinants of Ethio telecom employees' performance.

description: A common goal in the sciences is optimization of an objective function by selecting control variables such that a desired outcome is achieved. This scenario can be expressed in terms of a control landscape of an objective considered as a function of the control variables. At the most basic level, it is known that the vast majority of quantum control landscapes possess no traps, whose presence would hinder reaching the objective. This paper reviews and extends the quantum control landscape assessment, presenting evidence that the same highly favorable landscape features exist in many other domains of science. The implications of this broader evidence are discussed. Specifically, control landscape examples from quantum mechanics, chemistry, and evolutionary biology are presented. Despite the obvious differences, commonalities between these areas are highlighted within a unified mathematical framework. This mathematical framework is driven by the wide ranging experimental evidence on the ease of finding optimal controls (in terms of the required algorithmic search effort beyond laboratory set up overhead). The full scope and implications of this observed common control behavior pose an open question for assessment in further work.

description: Recent observations of the pre-stellar core L1544 and the younger starless core L1498 have revealed that complex organic molecules (COMs) are enhanced in the gas phase toward their outer and intermediate-density shells. Our goal is to determine the level of chemical complexity toward the starless core L1517B, which seems younger than L1498, and compare it with the other two previously studied cores to see if there is a chemical evolution within the cores. We have carried out 3 mm high-sensitivity observations toward two positions in the L1517B starless core: the core's centre and the position where the methanol emission peaks (at a distance of $\sim$5000 au from the core's centre). Our observations reveal that a lower number of COMs and COM precursors are detected in L1517B with respect to L1498 and L1544, and also show lower abundances. Besides methanol, we only detected CH$_3$O, H$_2$CCO, CH$_3$CHO, CH$_3$CN, CH$_3$NC, HCCCN, and HCCNC. Their measured abundances are $\sim$3 times larger toward the methanol peak than toward the core's centre, mimicking the behaviour found toward the more evolved cores L1544 and L1498. We propose that the differences in the chemical complexity observed between the three studied starless cores are a consequence of their evolution, with L1517B being the less evolved one, followed by L1498 and L1544. Chemical complexity in these cores seems to increase over time, with N-bearing molecules forming first and O-bearing COMs forming at a later stage as a result of the catastrophic depletion of CO.

description: We give a non-perturbative construction of a distinguished state for the quantized Dirac field in Minkowski space in the presence of a time-dependent external field of the form of a plane electromagnetic wave. By explicit computation of the fermionic signature operator, it is shown that the Dirac operator has the strong mass oscillation property. We prove that the resulting fermionic projector state is a Hadamard state.
