description: Excitable media are an important class of systems, examples of which include epidemics, predator-prey interactions, nervous systems, and heart muscle. Aggregating cellular slime moulds are an example of an excitable medium. The species of cellular slime mould Dictyostelium discoideum is an important model organism that many science laboratories use. Studying the aggregation of slime moulds increases knowledge about excitable media generally. One method of studying the aggregation of slime mould is to simulate theft behaviour on a computer model. This thesis presents the author's computer model of cellular slime mould Dictyostelium discoideum and the results of experiments carried out using the computer model. The experiments investigate the relation between the aggregation patterns and the various parameters of the model. These parameters are the density of artificial slime moulds, the acrasin threshold, the acrasin degradation rate, and the rate of acrasin secretion. Randomness has an effect on the aggregation patterns produced. Results of experiments are presented that examine the effect of randomness. Two forms of randomness are investigated: random secretion of acrasin by the artificial slime moulds; random initial reactivity of the artificial slime moulds. The computer model describes an artificial environment in which artificial slime mould amoebae interact with each other and their environment. Out of these individual interactions the global patterns that characterize slime mould aggregations emerge. The model facilitates the study of these individual interactions and hence the global patterns that emerge. The model and the experimental results described in this thesis contribute to the study of the aggregation phase of the life cycle of Dictyosteliuni discoideum. The author proposes mechanism that could underlie certain classes of aggregation patterns. These patterns include net-like aggregations and loop aggregations. The computer model presented in this thesis is successful in emulating the behaviour of the cellular slime mould Dictyostelium discoideum. In its present form the model is a useful tool to biologists. The results of experiments conducted with the model suggest mechanisms that may underlie certain pattern produced by living slime moulds. A result of particular interest is the initiation of the spiral wave pattern from a loop wave, which produces a loop aggregation.

description: We present and interpret observations of atomic and molecular gas toward the southern elliptical galaxy NGC 1316 (Fornax A), a strong double-lobe radio source with a disturbed optical morphology that includes numerous shells and loops. The 12CO(1-0), 12CO(2-1), and HI observations were made with SEST and the VLA. CO emission corresponding to a total molecular hydrogen mass of 5x10^8 Msun was detected toward the central position as well as northwest and southeast of the nucleus in the regions of the dust patches. The origin of that gas is likely external and due to accretion of one or several small gas-rich galaxies. HI was not detected in the central region of NGC1316, but ~2x10^7 Msun of atomic gas was found toward the giant HII region discovered by Schweizer (1980) located 6.7 arcmin (or 36.2 kpc) from the nucleus. HI was also found at three other locations in the outer part of NGC 1316. The HI distributions and kinematics of the two nearby spiral companions of NGC 1316, NGC 1317 (a barred galaxy to the north) and NGC 1310 (to the west) could be studied. Both galaxies have unusually small HI disks that may have been affected by ram-pressure stripping.

description: Für die Realisierung von inklusiver Hochschullehre ist die barrierefreie Umsetzung der Lehr-Lernmedien, im Rahmen dieses Beitrags konkret von Lehr-Lernvideos, eine der grundlegenden Voraussetzungen. Die barrierefreie Umsetzung dieser bedarf sowohl zeitlicher als auch personeller Ressourcen, die für die Lehrenden häufig mit Mehraufwand verbunden sind. Wird in diesem Kontext die barrierefreie Umsetzung der Lehr-Lernvideos als Anpassung für einzelne Studierende betrachtet, unterliegen Lehrende womöglich einer Kosten-Nutzen-Rechnung, in der sie einen hohen Aufwand der Notwendigkeit für einzelne Lernende gegenüberstellen. Im vorliegenden Artikel soll daher anhand der Erstellung von Audiodeskriptionen für die Nutzung von Unterrichtsvideos im Lehramtsstudium unter dem Gesichtspunkt der Cognitive Load Theory (CLT) und hinsichtlich einer potentiellen Nutzung als Signalgeber diskutiert werden. Eine solche didaktische Neubetrachtung von, für die Teilhabe aller Studierenden in der Videoarbeit unumgänglichen, Audiodeskription könnte sowohl einerseits für alle Lernenden durch aktive Nutzung und Wahrnehmung eine Entlastung schaffen als auch andererseits die von den Lehrenden möglicherweise unausgeglichen wahrgenommene Kosten-Nutzen-Rechnung ausbalancieren. Des Weiteren werden Anknüpfungspunkte für die Weiterarbeit und Erforschung der Einsatzmöglichkeiten von Audiodeskription in der Lehramtsausbildung aufgezeigt.
description: One of the fundamental prerequisites for the realization of inclusive university teaching is the accessibility of teaching/learning media, specifically teaching/learning videos, in the context of this article. The accessible implementation of these requires time and human resources, often associated with additional work for the lecturers. If, in this context, the accessible implementation of learning videos is seen as an adaptation for individual students, lecturers may be subject to a cost-benefit calculation in which they compare a high effort with the necessity for individual learners. This article, therefore, discusses the use of learning videos in teacher education from the perspective of Cognitive Load Theory (CLT) and in terms of potential use as a signal based on the creation of audio description. Such a didactic reconsideration of audio description, which is indispensable for the participation of all students in video work, could, on the one hand, provide relief for all learners through active use and perception and, on the other hand, balance the cost-benefit calculation, which may be perceived as unbalanced by educators. Furthermore, starting points for further work and research on the possible applications of audio description in teacher education are pointed out.

description: We use relativistic ab-initio methods combined with model Hamiltonian approaches to analyze the normal-phase electronic and structural properties of the recently discovered WP superconductor. Remarkably, the outcomes of such study can be employed to set fundamental connections among WP and the CrAs and MnP superconductors belonging to the same space group. One of the key features of the resulting electronic structure is represented by the occurrence of multiple band crossings along specific high symmetry lines of the Brilloiun zone. In particular, we demonstrate that the eight-fold band degeneracy obtained along the SR path at (kx,ky)=(Pi,Pi) is due to inversion-time reversal invariance and a pair of nonsymmorphic symmetries. The presence of multiple degenerate Fermi points along the SR direction constraints the topology of the Fermi surface, which manifests distinctive marks when considering its evolution upon band filling variation. If the Fermi level crosses the bands along the SR line as it happens at the nominal filling of the MnP, these Fermi surfaces are open or closed Fermi pockets. Moving the relative position of the Fermi level away from the eight-fold degenerate bands as for the WP and CrAs compounds, the electronic changeover exhibits a simultaneous modification of the Fermi surface dimensionality and topology. Four two-dimensional (2D) Fermi surface sheets are centered around the SR line with a corrugated profile along the kz direction. Moreover, we show that the spin-orbit interaction determines a selective removal of the band degeneracy and, consequently, a splitting of the quasi 2D Fermi sheets, as it happens in WP. Finally, we comment on the connections between our results and recent experimental and theoretical proposals about the triplet superconductivity in this class of compounds.

description: HR 1217 is a prototypical rapidly oscillating Ap star that has presented a test to the theory of nonradial stellar pulsation. Prior observations showed a clear pattern of five modes with alternating frequency spacings of 33.3 microHz and 34.6 microHz, with a sixth mode at a problematic spacing of 50.0 microHz (which equals 1.5 times 33.3 microHz) to the high-frequency side. Asymptotic pulsation theory allowed for a frequency spacing of 34 microHz, but Hipparcos observations rule out such a spacing. Theoretical calculations of magnetoacoustic modes in Ap stars by Cunha (2001) predicted that there should be a previously undetected mode 34 microHz higher than the main group, with a smaller spacing between it and the highest one. In this Letter, we present preliminary results from a multi-site photometric campaign on the rapidly oscillating Ap star HR 1217 using the "Whole Earth Telescope". While a complete analysis of the data will appear in a later paper, one outstanding result from this run is the discovery of a newly detected frequency in the pulsation spectrum of this star, at the frequency predicted by Cunha (2001).

description: There are many hints that gravity is asymptotically safe. The inclusion of gravitational corrections can result in the ultraviolet fundamental Standard Model and constrain the Higgs mass to take the smallest value such that electroweak vacuum is stable. Taking into account the current top quark mass measurements this value is $m_H \approx 130$ GeV.\\ This article considers the predictions of the Higgs mass in two minimal Beyond Standard Model scenarios, where the stability is improved. One is the sterile quark axion model, while the other is the $U(1)_{B-L}$ gauge symmetry model introducing a new massive $Z'$ gauge boson. The inclusion of $Z'$ boson gives the correct prediction for this mass, while inclusion of sterile quark(s) gives only a slight effect.\\ Also a new, gravitational solution to the strong CP problem is discussed.

description: In polychromatic x-ray imaging for nondestructive testing, material science or medical applications, image quality is usually a problem of detecting sample structure in noisy data. This problem is typically stated this way: As many photons as possible need to be detected to get a good image quality. We instead propose to use the concept of signal detection, which is more universal. In signal detection, it is the sample properties which are detected. Photons play the role of information carriers for the signal. Signal detection for example allows modeling the effects which polychromaticity has on image quality. $\mathit{SNR}$ spectra (= spatial $\mathit{SNR}$) are used as a quantity to describe if reliable signal detection is possible. They include modulation transfer and phase contrast in addition to noisiness effects. $\mathit{SNR}$ spectra can also be directly measured, which means that theoretical predictions can easily be tested. We investigate the effects of signal and noise superposition on the $\mathit{SNR}$ spectrum and show how selectively not detecting photons can increase the image quality.

description: We report the first result of weak gravitational lensing survey on a 2.1 sq deg Rc-band image taken with a wide field camera (Suprime-Cam) on the prime focus of 8.2 m Subaru Telescope. The weak lensing mass reconstruction is applied to the data to search for dark matter halos of cluster scale; M >= 10^14 solar mass. The reconstructed convergence field is divided by 1-sigma noise to obtain the signal-to-noise ratio map (S/N-map) of the detection. Local maxima and minima are searched on the S/N-map and the probability distribution function (PDF) of the peaks are created to compare with model predictions. We found excess over noise PDF created from the randomized realization on both positive and negative sides. Negative peaks imply the presence of voids in the dark matter distribution and this is the first report of the detection. Positive peaks, on the other hand, represent the dark matter halos and the number count of the halos on the 2.1 sq deg image is 4.9 +- 2.3 for S/N > 5 where the Gaussian smoothing radius of the convergence map is 1'. The result is consistent with the prediction assuming the Press-Schechter mass function and the NFW halo profile under the cluster normalized CDM cosmology. Although the present statistics is not enough due to the limited field of view, this work demonstrates that dark matter halo count via weak lensing is a promising way to test the paradigm of structure formation and cosmological model.

description: There is a lot of research work on compression piles, but very little on tension piles, as commented by Chattopadhyay (1994), Patra and Pise (2003), Gaaver (2013), Lo et al. (2018) and Oh et al. (2019). The stress distribution in the soil mass surrounding an axially loaded tension pile is even not clearly understood, as Lo et al. (2018) discussed. This research has adopted an automation process to investigate the load-transfer factor in the cylindrical load-transfer analytical method in elastic and non-elastic soils for tension piles. Hybridized automation has been setup. It combines analytical and finite element methods to review and cover the deficiency, and modify the cylindrical load-transfer analytical method. The simulation of the load-displacement responses in tension piles becomes more realistic and efficient. Also, recent publications from Wang et al. (2012), Sheil and McCabe (2016), and Boonyatee and Lai (2017) have already demonstrated that using slipping analytical models can achieve more realistic and accurate results in compression piles. However, many researchers still adopt the simplified models by ignoring the pile-soil slipping behavior (the existing non-slipping analytical models), and no research has been conducted using slipping theory in tension piles. This research has been conducted to cover this deficiency in the analytical models of tension piles, as summarized in Lo et al. (2020). Furthermore, the existing load-transfer factor in the analytical method was evaluated only in elastic soils, which is a fixed value during axial loading. No further research detailly investigates its validation outside the elastic soils, and it is still a question to apply the factor outside these soils. In this research, a hybrid method and new equations have been developed to cover the deficiency and better understand how the factor will be used more appropriately. Additionally, automation processes save time, increase efficiency, lower cost, replace human labor with machine labor to minimize error. However, numerical methods are becoming more sophisticated and require considerable numerical expertise and computational resources, but too common to use. There is potentially a dangerous consequence (Mar, 2002). This research has developed a hybrid procedure for numerical results being crosschecked by the analytical method, similar to the current engineering practice of engaging a verifier to check the design work. It would be favorable to pile experts to carry out routine piling design or a quick initial estimation during the earlier stage of piling work. It sheds some light on the application of powerful and potential automation in research and engineering practice.

description: Repeated imaging observations have been made of NGC 3982 with the Hubble Space Telescope between March and May 2000, over an interval of 53 days. Images were obtained on 12 epochs in the F555W band and on five epochs in the F814W band. The galaxy hosted the type Ia supernova SN1998aq. A total of 26 Cepheid candidates were identified, with periods ranging from 10 to 45 days, using photometry with the DoPHOT program. The de-reddened distance to NGC 3982 is estimated from these data using various criteria to maximize signal to noise and reliability: the values lie between 31.71 and 31.82, with uncertainties in the mean of typically +/- 0.14 mag for each case. A parallel analysis using photometry with HSTphot discovered 13 variables, yielding a distance modulus of 31.85 +/- 0.16. The final adopted modulus is (M-m)_0 = 31.72 +/- 0.14 (22 +/- 1.5 Mpc). Photometry of 1998aq that is available in the literature is used in combination with the derived distance to NGC 3982 to obtain the peak absolute magnitude of this supernova. The lower limit (no extinction within the host galaxy) for M_V is -19.47 +/- 0.15 mag. Corrections for decline rate and intrinsic color to carry these to the reduced system of Parodi et al. (2000) have been performed. The derived luminosities at hand are fully consistent with the mean of the 8 normal SNe Ia previously calibrated with Cepheids. Together they yield H_0 ~ 60 +/- 2 (internal) km s-1 Mpc-1 based on an assumed LMC distance modulus of 18.50. We point out that correcting some of the systematic errors and including uncertainty estimates due to them leads to H_0 = 58.7 +/- 6.3 (internal) km s-1 Mpc-1.

description: Generic rotationally invariant random matrix models satisfy a simple relation: the probability distribution of off-diagonal elements and the one of half the difference between any two diagonal elements coincide. In the spirit of the Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis (ETH), we test the hypothesis that the same relation holds in quantum systems that are non-localized, when one considers small energy differences. The relation provides a stringent test of ETH beyond the Gaussian ensemble. We apply it to a disordered spin chain, the SYK model and a Floquet system.

description: Hybrid polymer-network gels built by both physical and covalent polymer crosslinking combine the advantages of both these crosslinking types: they exhibit high mechanical strength along with excellent fracture toughness and extensibility. If these materials are extensively deformed, their physical crosslinks can break such that strain energy is dissipated and irreversible fracturing is restricted to high strain only. This mechanism of energy dissipation is determined by the kinetics and thermodynamics of the physical crosslinking contribution. In this paper, we present a poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) based material toolkit to control these contributions in a rational and custom fashion. We form well-defined covalent polymer-network gels with regularly distributed additional supramolecular mechanical fuse links, whose strength of connectivity can be tuned without affecting the primary polymer- network composition. This is possible because the supramolecular fuse links are based on terpyridine–metal complexation, such that the mere choice of the fuse-linking metal ion adjusts their kinetics and thermodynamics of complexation–decomplexation, which directly affects the mechanical properties of the hybrid gels. We use oscillatory shear rheology to demonstrate this rational control and enhancement of the mechanical properties of the hybrid gels. In addition, static light scattering reveals their highly regular and well-defined polymer-network structures. As a result of both, the present approach provides an easy and reliable concept for preparing hybrid polymer- network gels with rationally designed properties. View Full-Text

title: Assessing the impact of chemical exposure on the health of endangered sea turtles through toxicokinetics and toxicodynamics
Creators: name: Dogruer, Gulsah

Subjects: subject: sea turtle
subject: Chelonia mydas
subject: chemical contaminants

description: The green sea turtle, Chelonia mydas, spends a considerable part of its life in coastal waters foraging on seagrass and/or algae, which brings it close to anthropogenic pollutant sources. Elevated concentrations of chemical contaminants from urban, industrial and agricultural run-off accumulate in coastal environments. These pollutants have the potential to cause serious harm to C. mydas populations. However, exposure and toxicity data are challenging to obtain for free-ranging, protected wildlife species like C. mydas. Furthermore, a lack of quantitative tools linking long-term external contaminant exposure, the uptake and tissue distribution of chemicals (toxicokinetics), and the biological pathway perturbations related to adverse health outcomes (toxicodynamics) hamper efforts by scientists and policymakers to quantify the risk of pollutants adversely affecting C. mydas health. Changes in C. mydas population abundance, in turn, may affect the marine seagrass ecosystems, which, by extension, could potentially also impact human health and animals that rely on seagrass habitats. The present thesis provided the means to research the hypothesis that land-based contaminants adversely impact the health of Australia’s resident green turtle populations. The following chapters in this thesis investigate the validity of this hypothesis. Valuable experimental toxicokinetic and toxicodynamic data are collected and described in Chapters 2 and 3. Chapter 4 used data from Chapter 3 to develop tools to confirm the initial hypothesis. Overall, this thesis describes the development of tools to aid risk assessors and policymakers in setting safe chemical exposure levels for green sea populations.
Vanishing viscosity limit for the compressible Navier-Stokes system via measure-valued solutions

description: We identify a class of measure-valued solutions of the barotropic Euler system on a general (un-bounded) spatial domain as a vanishing viscosity limit for the compressible Navier-Stokes system. Then we establish the weak (measure-valued)-strong uniqueness principle, and, as a corollary, we obtain strong convergence to the Euler system on the lifespan of the strong solution.

description: This paper presents multi-passband optical data obtained from observations of the Chandra Deep Field South (CDF-S), located at alpha ~ 3h 32m, delta ~ -27d 48m. The observations were conducted at the ESO/MPG 2.2m telescope at La Silla using the 8kx8k Wide-Field Imager (WFI). This data set, taken over a period of one year, represents the first field to be completed by the ongoing Deep Public Survey (DPS) being carried out by the ESO Imaging Survey (EIS) project. This paper describes the optical observations, the techniques employed for un-supervised pipeline processing and the general characteristics of the final data set. The paper includes data taken in six different filters U'UBVRI. The data cover an area of about 0.25 square degrees reaching 5 sigma limiting magnitudes of U'_AB=26.0, U_AB=25.7, B_AB=26.4$, V_AB=25.4, R_AB=25.5 and I_AB= 24.7 mag, as measured within a 2xFWHM aperture. The optical data covers the area of ~ 0.1

Ubiquitous column density variability in Seyfert 2 Galaxies

description: We present a study of X-ray column density variability in Seyfert 2 galaxies. We show that variations in N_H are observed in almost all the objects with multiple hard X-ray observations. Variation timescales (as short as a few months in several cases) are not in agreement with the standard scenario of a parsec-scale toroidal absorber. We propose that the X-ray absorber in Seyfert galaxies is located much nearer to the center than previously assumed, on the Broad Line Region Scale. An extension of the model by M. Elvis (2000) can explain the observed variability. We also show preliminary results of N_H variability search inside single X-ray observations, which suggest that variations can occur on timescales of a few 10^4 seconds.

description: Current models and observations of variability in HgMn stars disagree. We present here the models that argue for pulsating HgMn stars with properties similar to those of Slowly Pulsating B Stars. The lack of observed variable HgMn stars suggests that some physical process is missing from the models. Some possibilities are discussed.

description: We derive a `Kompaneets equation' for neutrinos, which describes how the distribution function of neutrinos interacting with matter deviates from a Fermi-Dirac distribution with zero chemical potential. To this end, we expand the collision integral in the Boltzmann equation of neutrinos up to the second order in energy transfer between matter and neutrinos. The distortion of the neutrino distribution function changes the rate at which neutrinos heat matter, as the rate is proportional to the mean square energy of neutrinos, $E_ν^2$. For electron-type neutrinos the enhancement in $E_ν^2$ over its thermal value is given approximately by $E_ν^2/E_{ν,\rm thermal}^2=1+0.086(V/0.1)^2$ where $V$ is the bulk velocity of nucleons, while for the other neutrino species the enhancement is $(1+δ_v)^3$, where $δ_v=mV^2/3k_BT$ is the kinetic energy of nucleons divided by the thermal energy. This enhancement has a significant implication for supernova explosions, as it would aid neutrino-driven explosions.

description: We present results from stacking analyses, using the 1 Ms Chandra Deep Field North data, that constrain the X-ray emission of Lyman break galaxies at z = 2-4. Stacking the counts from 24 individually undetected Lyman break galaxies located within the Hubble Deep Field North, we have obtained average detections of these objects in the resulting 0.5-8.0 keV and 0.5-2.0 keV images; these images have effective exposure times of 22.4 Ms (260 days). Monte Carlo testing empirically shows the detections to be highly significant. The average rest-frame 2-8 keV luminosity of a Lyman break galaxy is derived to be 3.2 x 10^{41} erg s^{-1}, comparable to that of the most X-ray luminous starbursts in the local Universe. The observed ratio of X-ray to B-band luminosity is somewhat, but not greatly, higher than that seen from local starbursts. The X-ray emission probably arises from a combination of high-mass X-ray binaries, "super-Eddington" X-ray sources, and low-luminosity active galactic nuclei.
