description: Solar variability occurs over a broad range of spatial and temporal scales, from the Sun's brightening over its lifetime to the fluctuations commonly associated with magnetic activity over minutes to years. The latter activity includes most prominently the 11-year sunspot solar cycle and its modulations. Space weather events, in the form of solar flares, solar energetic particles, coronal mass ejections, and geomagnetic storms, have long been known to approximately follow the solar cycle occurring more frequently at solar maximum than solar minimum. These events can significantly impact our advanced technologies and critical infrastructures, making the prediction for the strength of future solar cycles particularly important. Several methods have been proposed to predict the strength of the next solar cycle, cycle 25, with results that are generally not always consistent. Most of these methods are based on the international sunspot number time series, or other indicators of solar activity. We present here a new approach that uses more than 100 years of measured fractional areas of the visible solar disk covered by sunspots and plages and an empirical relationship for each of these two indices of solar activity in even-odd cycles. We anticipate that cycle 25 will peak in 2024 and will last for about 12 years, slightly longer than cycle 24. We also found that, in terms of sunspot and plage areas coverage, the amplitude of cycle 25 will be substantially similar or slightly higher than cycle 24.

description: Genus Atemnus Canestrini, 1884 For synonymies see Harvey (2011). Type species: Atemnus politus (Simon, 1878). Diagnosis: See (Beier 1932a,b; Murthy & Ananthakrishnan 1977). Remarks: Atemnus, the type genus of Atemnidae, is similar to Anatemnus in having a similar pedipalpal patella, but can be distinguished by the trichobothrial pattern on the fixed finger: the distance between est and esb is the same as that between ist and isb in Atemnus, but longer in Anatemnus. The definition of atemnid genera has long been based on external characters only. Klausen (2005) studied the male genitalia of 44 Atemninae and Miratemninae species and concluded that the present generic delimitation was not reliable. As a result, the male genital structures are also explored, in addition to the external characters. The major differences between the two genera Atemnus and Anatemnus can also be found in the male genital organ (Klausen 2005, p.658, figs 9, 23–25).

description: Blue straggler stars (BSSs) are stars observed to be hotter and bluer than other stars with the same luminosity in their environment. As such they appear to be much younger than the rest of the stellar population. Two main channels have been suggested to produce such stars: (1) collisions between stars in clusters or (2) mass transfer between, or merger of, the components of primordial short-period binaries. Here we suggest a third scenario, in which the progenitor of BSSs are formed in primordial (or dynamically formed) hierarchical triple stars. In such configurations the dynamical evolution of the triples through the Kozai mechanism and tidal friction can induce the formation of very close inner binaries. Angular momentum loss in a magnetized wind or stellar evolution could then lead to the merger of these binaries (or to mass transfer between them) and produce BSSs in binary (or triple) systems. We study this mechanism and its implications and show that it could naturally explain many of the characteristics of the BSS population in clusters, most notably the large binary fraction of long period BSS binaries; their unique period-eccentricity distribution (with typical periods > 700 days); and the typical location of these BSSs in the color-magnitude diagram, far from the cluster turn-off point of their host clusters. We suggest that this scenario has a major (possibly dominant) role in the formation of BSSs in open clusters and give specific predictions for the the BSSs population formed in this manner. We also note that triple systems may be the progenitors of the brightest planetary nebulae in old elliptical galaxies, which possibly evolved from BSSs.

Indian Classical Dance and Her Sacred Links to the Ancient Hindu Temple
Creators: name: Bhaduri, Ayona
Publisher: name: Zenodo

Subjects: Dance, Architecture

description: Abstract: Indian dance is not an art by itself, it is a synthesis of all arts finding a unique expression through the body. For it is in dance that ‘a painter sees beauty of line and colour, the sculptor sees the grace and the form, the actor sees the portrayal of life, and the musician and poet alike see the very embodiment of poetry in motion. Thus, with all these blended in one dedicated body and soul, the dancer herself becomes the very expression of Nataraja, the greatest Yogi of all yogis, of whom it is described that His Angika or the movement of His limbs is the world around, the Vachika, the poetry of His dance, is the language within all speech, the Aharya, His costume and jewellery, are the moon and the stars, while the Satvika, the true expression, is the essence of Being, Shiva Himself. In Him is all united and in Him is all transcended by the divine spirit’ (Rukmini Devi Arundale). This forms the very essence of Indian dance, that which encompasses within its many folds the history, the philosophy, the religion, the art and architecture of the Hindu temple, which again has been a reflection of the historical, philosophical, spiritual and artistic elements of India and her people through the centuries.
 Thus, exploring the sacred links of Indian dance with the Hindu temple, the article is a humble attempt to reiterate to the present day dancer the need to revisit, not once but repeatedly, the philosophy behind the dance itself as it is practised today, so as to be able to grasp the subtle nuances of Indian culture such that she is informed enough to appropriately portray its myriad nature through her interpretations in dance.

description: Buschke Ollendorff syndrome (BOS) is a rare autosomal dominant genodermatosis, with high penetrance and variable expressivity, characterized by the association of connective tissue naevi and  osteopoikilosis. Both cutaneous and osseous manifestations are usually asymptomatic.
The disease is caused by a loss-of-function mutation in the gene LEMD3, that is located on chromosome 12q13.
Differential diagnosis mainly includes pseudoxantoma elasticum, morphea, lipoid proteinosis, papular elastorrhexis, juvenile elastoma, papular mucinosis.
The 2 cases of BOS here reported are an example of segmental type 2 autosomal dominant genodermatosis, that is due to the loss of heterozygosity occurring at an early developmental stage in a heterozygous patient, causing a segmental homozygosity. Such patients usually have pronounced segmental lesions in the first years of life and later develop disseminated symmetrical lesions.
"Eye-to-eye monologues" : self-conscious narrators in some modern novels
Creators: name: Rampton, David Paul
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The thesis is a study of a series of modern story tellers and one of their antecedents, the narrators of "The Good Soldier", "The Great Gatsby", "The Catcher in the Rye", "Lolita", "Despair" and "Great Expectations". The emphasis is on the "eye-to-eye monologue" (as Hermann calls it), and the central role played by the narrator's imagination in re-creating his life in his story. That story describes the failure of man's attempt to make his life resemble a work of art in which dreams come true. He successfully makes an aesthetic representation that takes on the ironic form and content of his age. The critic's penchant for plotting the aesthetic distance between the author of the book and the fictional character he creates; the concern with the ironic attitude of author towards narrator; the emphasis on the unreliable ignorant guide parodied by an omniscient and omnipresent author — all these conjectural areas are avoided. The thesis, instead of presumptuously ridiculing the inadequacies of the narrator, attempts to concentrate on what he does know and does relate. After all, he knows enough to tell the story; he has the right to tell it in his own way; he demands an audience attentive and alert enough to play a participatory role in the story he tells. The ironic pattern of frustrated expectations which culminates in the realization that the dream is in fact a fiction in the story that articulates it; the crucial nature of the different kinds of imaginative vision the narrator attempts; the significance of the self-conscious articulation of the attempts as reflected in the form of the novel itself; the external bond with the reader he addresses; the ironies that the narrator himself creates using the advantages of retrospection to re-create the ironic mythos that constitutes all men's stories — each novel is considered in terms of these basic concepts. Concerns implicit in earlier and representative works of modern fiction become explicit in "Lolita" and "Despair", in which the narrator asserts that the art and artifice he uses to make sense of his life are the essential component of that life. The narrator's and reader's final belief is to believe in a fiction. Believing in each other, they finally see eye-to-eye and, I-to-I, confirm the human capacity for creative empathy and imaginative vision.

description: Our aim is to propose a collaborative methodological approach centred on learners and based on the Web 2.0 tools in order to make E-learning 2.0. It is based on a process consisting of four iterative steps which are: grouping, collaborating, validating and publishing content. In this context, learners will be the creators of the content of assigned courses in a virtual meeting through the chat. These contents will be validated after a pedagogical monitoring by the instructor through the class's blog and merged into a single course content published on a class wiki. Social interaction and sharing of files on the web will be the responsibility of social networks. The rest of the web 2.0 tools such as RSS feeds, tags, podcasts and video casts will be used as complementary tools in order to improve the quality of training. This methodological approach will allow E-learning 2.0 by ensuring a better interactivity, collaboration, sharing and an optimal exploitation of collaborative intelligence in the classroom.

description: Since 1993, a muon telescope located at Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe (Karlsruhe Muon Telescope) has been recording the flux of single muons mostly originating from primary cosmic-ray protons with dominant energies in the 10 - 20 GeV range. The data are used to investigate the influence of solar effects on the flux of cosmic-rays measured at Earth. Non-periodic events like Forbush decreases and ground level enhancements are detected in the registered muon flux. A selection of recent events will be presented and compared to data from the Jungfraujoch neutron monitor. The data of the Karlsruhe Muon Telescope help to extend the knowledge about Forbush decreases and ground level enhancements to energies beyond the neutron monitor regime.

description: A fronte della frammentarietà e della confusione semantica della città contemporanea, la ricerca sui ‘Luoghi di identità e spazi del sacro nella città europea contemporanea’ ha inteso affrontare il tema della morfologia urbana in termini di significato. La focalizzazione sui temi dell’identità e del sacro nella città odierna è stata intesa quale modalità per tentare di andare alla radice dell’irrisolto problema di mancanza di senso che affligge la compagine urbana contemporanea e per cercare di individuare le cause e, quindi, le possibili azioni necessarie a riportare il costruito nell’ambito della relazione significante. Il campo di indagine è quello delle aree periferiche europee, ma la ricerca si muove da considerazioni di ordine generale relativamente alle reti di relazioni che l’essere umano instaura con il mondo circostante.
Il lavoro sviluppa un primo inquadramento del tema di carattere generale, con un riferimento sistematico alla letteratura scientifica, individuando attraverso un sintetico excursus storico, i principi fondamentali della costruzione dell’immagine spaziale e del suo evolversi nel tempo. Su questa base i tre concetti di ‘centralità’, ‘identità’ e ‘sacro’, sono intesi come i cardini del discorso circa gli ambiti di significato e, sulla base di studi di alcune esperienze europee ritenute particolarmente esemplificative, la trattazione di questi tre temi arriva a proporre alcune considerazioni in merito alle caratteristiche che il contesto urbano deve avere  per manifestarsi come luogo di costruzione di una identità personale e comunitaria.
Nella consapevolezza che l’ampiezza dei temi considerati non ne consente una trattazione esaustiva, le considerazioni fatte sono da intendersi quali spunti di riflessione a riguardo dei metodi e delle modalità di relazione che sono ritenute necessarie per la costruzione di spazi di riferimento orientativo, identitario e socializzante.

A panchromatic view of the evolution of supermassive black holes

description: This PhD Thesis is devoted to the accurate analysis of the physical properties of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) and the AGN/host-galaxy interplay. Due to the broad-band AGN emission (from radio to hard X-rays), a multi-wavelength approach is mandatory. 
Our research is carried out over the COSMOS field, within the context of the XMM-Newton wide-field survey. To date, the COSMOS field is a unique area for comprehensive multi-wavelength studies, allowing us to define a large and homogeneous sample of QSOs with a well-sampled spectral coverage and to keep selection effects under control. Moreover, the broad-band information contained in the COSMOS database is well-suited for a detailed analysis of AGN SEDs, bolometric luminosities 
and bolometric corrections. 
In order to investigate the nature of both obscured (Type-2) and unobscured (Type-1) AGN, the observational approach is complemented with a theoretical modelling of the AGN/galaxy co-evolution.
The X-ray to optical properties of an X-ray selected Type-1 AGN sample are discussed in the first part. The relationship between X-ray and optical/UV luminosities, parametrized by the spectral index αox, provides a first indication about the nature of the central engine powering the AGN.
Since a Type-1 AGN outshines the surrounding environment, it is extremely difficult to constrain the properties of its host-galaxy. Conversely, in Type-2 AGN the host-galaxy light is the dominant component of the optical/near-IR SEDs, severely affecting the recovery of the intrinsic AGN emission. Hence a multi-component SED-fitting code is developed to disentangle the emission of the stellar populationof the galaxy from that associated with mass accretion.
Bolometric corrections, luminosities, stellar masses and star-formation rates, correlated with the morphology of Type-2 AGN hosts, are presented in the second part, while the final part concerns a physically-motivated model for the evolution of spheroidal galaxies with a central SMBH. The model is able to reproduce two important stages of galaxy evolution, namely the obscured cold-phase and the subsequent quiescent hot-phase.
Nonclassical Nature of Dispersion Cancellation and Nonlocal Interferometry
Creators: name: Franson, J. D.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Several recent papers have shown that some forms of dispersion cancellation have classical analogs and that some aspects of nonlocal two-photon interferometry are consistent with local realistic models. It is noted here that the classical analogs only apply to local dispersion cancellation experiments [A.M. Steinberg et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 68, 2421 (1992)] and that nonlocal dispersion cancellation [J.D. Franson, Phys. Rev. A 45, 3126 (1992)] is inconsistent with any classical field theory and has no classical analog. The local models that have been suggested for two-photon interferometry are shown to be local but not realistic if the spatial extent of the interferometers is taken into account. It is the inability of classical models to describe all of the relevant aspects of these experiments that distinguishes between quantum and classical physics, which is also the case in Bell's inequality.

description: We carried out axisymmetric simulations of disk accretion to a rapidly rotating magnetized star in the "propeller" regime. Simulations show that propellers may be "weak" (with no outflows), and "strong" (with outflows). Investigation of the difference between these two regimes have shown that outflows appear only in the case where the "friction" between the disk and magnetosphere is sufficiently large, and when accreting matter flux is not very small. Matter outflows in a wide cone and is magneto-centrifugally ejected from the inner regions of the disk. Closer to the axis there is a strong, collimated, magnetically dominated outflow of energy and angular momentum carried by the open magnetic field lines from the star. The "efficiency" of the propeller may be very high in the respect that most of the incoming disk matter is expelled from the system in winds. The star spins-down rapidly due to the magnetic interaction with the disk through closed field lines and with corona through open field lines. This mechanism may act in a variety of situations where magnetized star rotates with super-Keplerian velocity at the magnetospheric boundary. We speculate that in general any object rotating with super-Keplerian velocity may drive outflows from accreting disk, if the friction between them is sufficiently large.

description: We observed 82 healthy subjects, from both sexes, aged between 19 and 77 years. All subjects
performed two different tests: for being scientifically acknowledged, the first one was used as a
reference and it was a stress test (CPX). During the entire test, heart rate and gas exchange were
recorded continuously; the second, the actual object of this study, was a submaximal test (TOP).
Only heart rate was recorded continuously.
The main purpose was to determinate an index of physical fitness as result of TOP.
CPX test allowed us to individuate anaerobic threshold. We used an incremental protocol of 10/20
Watt/min, different by age.
For our TOP test we used an RHC400 UPRIGHT BIKE, by Air Machine. Each subject was
monitored for heart frequency. After 2 minutes of resting period there was a first step: 3 minutes of
pedalling at a constant rate of 60 RPM, (40 watts for elder subjects and 60 watts for the younger
ones). Then, the subject was allowed to rest for a recovery phase of 5 minutes. Third and last step
consisted of 3 minutes of pedalling again at 60 RPM but now set to 60 watts for elder subjects and
80 watts for the young subjects. Finally another five minutes of recovery.
A good correlation was found between TOP and CPX results especially between punctua l heart rate
reserve (HRR’) and anaerobic threshold parameters such as Watt, VO2, VCO2 .
HRR’ was obtained by subtracting maximal heart rate during TOP from maximal theoretic heart
rate (206,9-(0,67*age)).
Data were analyzed through cluster analysis in order to obtain 3 homogeneous groups. The first
group contains the least fit subjects (inactive, women, elderly). The other groups contain the
“average fit” and the fittest subjects (active, men, younger).
Concordance between test resulted in 83,23%.
Afterwards, a linear combinations of the most relevant variables gave us a formula to classify
people in the correct group.
The most relevant result is that this submaximal test is able to discriminate subjects with different
physical condition and to provide information (index) about physical fitness through HRR’.
Compared to a traditional incremental stress test, the very low load of TOP, short duration and
extended resting period, make this new method suitable to very different people.
To better define the TOP index, it is necessary to enlarge our subject sample especially by
diversifying the age range.

description: We present X-ray observations of the transient accretion-powered millisecond pulsar IGR J00291+5934 during quiescence. IGR J00291+5934 is the first source among accretion powered millisecond pulsars to show signs of a thermal component in its quiescent spectrum. Fitting this component with a neutron star atmosphere or a black body model we obtain soft temperatures (~64 eV and ~110 eV, respectively). As in other sources of this class a hard spectral component is also present, comprising more than 60% of the unabsorbed 0.5-10 keV flux. Interpreting the soft component as cooling emission from the neutron star, we can conclude that the compact object can be spun up to milliscond periods by accreting only <0.2 solar masses.

Evaluation of alkali flooding combined with intermittent flow in carbonate reservoir

description: The majority of carbonate reservoir is oil-wet, which is an unfavorable
condition for oil production. Generally, the total oil recovery after both primary and
secondary recovery in an oil-wet reservoir is low. The amount of producible oil by
enhanced oil recovery techniques is still large. Alkali substances are proven to be able
to reverse rock wettability from oil-wet to water-wet, which is a favorable condition
for oil production. However, the wettability reversal mechanism would require a noneconomical
aging period to reach the maximum reversal condition. An intermittent
flow with the optimum pausing period is then combined with alkali flooding
(combination technique) to increase the wettability reversal mechanism and as a
consequence, oil recovery is improved.
The aims of this study are to evaluate the efficiency of the combination
technique and to study the parameters that affect this method. In order to implement
alkali flooding, reservoir rock and fluid properties were gathered, e.g. interfacial
tension of fluids, rock wettability, etc. The flooding efficiency curves are obtained
from core flooding and used as a major criterion for evaluation the performance of
technique.
The combination technique improves oil recovery when the alkali
concentration is lower than 1% wt. (where the wettability reversal mechanism is
dominant). The soap plug (that appears when high alkali concentration is used) is
absent in this combination as seen from no drop of production rate. Moreover, the use
of low alkali concentration limits alkali loss. This combination probably improves oil
recovery also in the fractured carbonate reservoirs in which oil is uneconomically

description: We present a simple model of firm rating evolution. We consider two sources of defaults: individual dynamics of economic development and Potts-like interactions between firms. We show that such a defined model leads to phase transition, which results in collective defaults. The existence of the collective phase depends on the mean interaction strength. For small interaction strength parameters, there are many independent bankruptcies of individual companies. For large parameters, there are giant collective defaults of firm clusters. In the case when the individual firm dynamics favors dumping of rating changes, there is an optimal strength of the firm's interactions from the systemic risk point of view.

description: In fluid dynamics research, pressure measurements are of great importance to define
the flow field acting on aerodynamic surfaces. In fact the experimental approach is
fundamental to avoid the complexity of the mathematical models for predicting the
fluid phenomena.
It’s important to note that, using in-situ sensor to monitor pressure on large domains
with highly unsteady flows, several problems are encountered working with the
classical techniques due to the transducer cost, the intrusiveness, the time response
and the operating range.
An interesting approach for satisfying the previously reported sensor requirements is
to implement a sensor network capable of acquiring pressure data on aerodynamic
surface using a wireless communication system able to collect the pressure data with
the lowest environmental–invasion level possible.
In this thesis a wireless sensor network for fluid fields pressure has been designed,
built and tested.
To develop the system, a capacitive pressure sensor, based on polymeric membrane,
and read out circuitry, based on microcontroller, have been designed, built and
tested. The wireless communication has been performed using the Zensys Z-WAVE
platform, and network and data management have been implemented. Finally, the
full embedded system with antenna has been created.
As a proof of concept, the monitoring of pressure on the top of the mainsail in a sailboat
has been chosen as working example.
The self-consistent gravitational self-force

description: I review the problem of motion for small bodies in General Relativity, with an emphasis on developing a self-consistent treatment of the gravitational self-force. An analysis of the various derivations extant in the literature leads me to formulate an asymptotic expansion in which the metric is expanded while a representative worldline is held fixed; I discuss the utility of this expansion for both exact point particles and asymptotically small bodies, contrasting it with a regular expansion in which both the metric and the worldline are expanded. Based on these preliminary analyses, I present a general method of deriving self-consistent equations of motion for arbitrarily structured (sufficiently compact) small bodies. My method utilizes two expansions: an inner expansion that keeps the size of the body fixed, and an outer expansion that lets the body shrink while holding its worldline fixed. By imposing the Lorenz gauge, I express the global solution to the Einstein equation in the outer expansion in terms of an integral over a worldtube of small radius surrounding the body. Appropriate boundary data on the tube are determined from a local-in-space expansion in a buffer region where both the inner and outer expansions are valid. This buffer-region expansion also results in an expression for the self-force in terms of irreducible pieces of the metric perturbation on the worldline. Based on the global solution, these pieces of the perturbation can be written in terms of a tail integral over the body's past history. This approach can be applied at any order to obtain a self-consistent approximation that is valid on long timescales, both near and far from the small body. I conclude by discussing possible extensions of my method and comparing it to alternative approaches.

Rotational excitations in two-color photoassociation

description: We show that it is possible to excite higher rotational states J > 2 in ultracold photoassociation by two laser fields. Usually higher J states are suppressed in photoassociation at ultracold temperatures in the regime of Wigner threshold laws. We propose a scheme in which one strong laser field drives photoassociation transition close to either J = 1 or J = 2 rotational state of a particular vibrational level of an electronically excited molecule. The other laser field is tuned near photoassociation resonance with J > 2 rotational levels of the same vibrational state. The strong laser field induces a strong continnum-bound dipole coupling. The resulting dipole force between two colliding atoms modifies the continnum states forming continnum-bound dressed states with a significant component of higher partial waves in the continnum configuration. When the second laser is scanned near the resonance of the higher J states, these states become populated due to photoassociative transitions from the modified continnum.

description: The extended stellar halos of galaxies contain important clues for investigating their assembly history and evolution. We investigate the resolved stellar content and the extended halo of NGC 5128 as a function of galactocentric distance. We used HST images to resolve individual red giant branch (RGB) stars in 28 independent pointings. Star counts from deep VI color-magnitude diagrams reaching at least 1.5 mag below the tip of the RGB are used to derive the surface density distribution of the halo. The contamination by Milky Way stars is assessed with a new control field, with models, and by combining optical and near-IR photometry. We present a new calibration of the WFC3 F606W+F814W photometry to the ground-based VI photometric system. The photometry shows that the stellar halo of NGC 5128 is dominated by old RGB stars that are present in all fields. The V-band surface brightness changes from 23 to 32 mag/arcsec$^2$ between 8.3 kpc from the galaxy center to our outermost halo fields located 140 kpc away from the center along the major axis and 92 kpc along the minor axis. Within ~30 kpc, we also find evidence for a 2-3 Gyr old population traced by bright asymptotic giant branch stars. This population contributes only up to 10% in total stellar mass if it is 2 Gyr old, but a larger fraction of 30-40% is required if its age is 3 Gyr. The stellar surface density profile is well fit by a r$^{1/4}$ curve or a power-law $\sim r^{-3.1}$ over the full radial range, with no obvious break in the slope, but with large field-to-field scatter. The ellipticity measured from integrated-light photometry in the inner parts, $e=(b/a)=0.77$, flattens to $e=0.54 \pm 0.02$ beyond 30 kpc. Considering the flattening of the outer halo, the projection of the elliptical isophote on the semimajor axis for our most distant field reaches nearly 30 effective radii. [abridged]

A deterministic simulation of logging truck performance
Creators: name: Levesque, Yves
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: A deterministic simulation model is developed and programmed for a digital computer to represent the movement of logging trucks for specified alignment (actual or proposed) and truck-parameters. The force accelerating the vehicle is taken as the difference between transmission output wheel force and the resistance force at steady-state conditions at the instantaneous vehicle speed. The accelerating force is taken as constant over a small incremented distance and results in a vehicle speed with new loading conditions. The process is repeated through each gear, and time-distance and time-speed data are obtained. ' The technique described can be used to build up a distance travelled-time consumption history for a vehicle on a defined route. Such prediction enables a meaningful evaluation to be made of the time of a specified trip. Such an approach produces results acceptably close to observed data.
Gain limits of a Thick GEM in high-purity Ne, Ar and Xe

description: The dependence of the avalanche charge gain in Thick Gas Electron Multipliers (THGEM) on the purity of Ne, Ar and Xe filling gases was investigated. The gain, measured with alpha-particles in standard conditions (atmospheric pressure, room temperature), was found to considerably drop in gases purified by non-evaporable getters. On the other hand, small N2 admixtures to noble gases resulted in high reachable gains. The results are of general relevance in the operation of gas-avalanche detectors in noble gases, particularly that of two-phase cryogenic detectors for rare events.
