description: We continue our study of the core helium flash using the three dimensional hydrodynamics code Djehuty. Continuing from earlier calculations, we now take relaxed 3D configurations and add various amounts of rotation. We find that rotation periods consistent with those observed in white dwarfs produce negligible changes in the structure and evolution of the core flash, at least for the very small timescales we have yet been able to investigate. There is no sign of any extra mixing due to the rotation. There is some inconclusive evidence for a slight change in the luminosity, at the 1% level.

description: The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) mission, scheduled for launch in the early 2030s, is a gravitational wave observatory in space designed to detect sources emitting in the milli-Hertz band. In contrast to the present ground based detectors, the LISA data are expected to be a signaldominated, with strong and weak gravitational wave signals overlapping in time and in frequency. Astrophysical population models predict a sufficient number of signals in the LISA band to blend together and form an irresolvable foreground noise. In this work, we present a generic method for characterizing the foreground signals originating from a given astrophysical population of coalescing compact binaries. Assuming idealized detector conditions and perfect data analysis technique capable of identifying and removing the bright sources, we apply an iterative procedure which allows us to predict the different levels of foreground noise.
Activity measures of free-ranging grizzly bears (Ursus arctos) in the Flathead drainage
Creators: name: McCann, Robert Keith
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Between 1984 and 1988, 4756 hours of activity data were collected on 15 different grizzly bears (Ursus arctos) in the Flathead drainage of southeastern British Columbia and adjacent portions of Montana. Data were collected with the aid of portable chart recorders that recorded the output from motion-sensitive radio collars. While many benefits stem from remote sensing of a study animal as intractable as the grizzly, both the method of data collection and the assumptions employed in translating chart recordings into quantitative measures of bear activity may affect conclusions drawn. Major objectives of this study were: 1) to assess the validity of procedures employed to translate continuous chart recordings of signal patterns from motion-sensitive radio collars into quantitative measures of bear activity; 2) to assess whether active and inactive bout lengths were related to sex and age related differences in energetic requirements and seasonal differences in food type; and 3) to document activity budgets and patterns as functions of sex, age, season, and the daily solar cycle. In the absence of concurrent visual observations of grizzly bears and recorded signal patterns, the validity of procedures used to interpret chart recordings was assessed by estimating percent of time active (%TA) under varying definitions of active and inactive bouts, and by comparing %TA to values found by other researchers. Estimates of %TA were stable over the range of activity bout definitions examined. Stability resulted from bears spending most of their time in active and inactive bouts > 30 min duration. Estimates of %TA for this study agreed with results on other populations. Over the non-denning portion of the year, grizzly bears were active about 55% of the time. Analyses of bout durations were plagued by a bias against active bouts to be monitored in their entirety, because when active, bears frequently moved out of range of the chart recorder. The distribution of activity over the 24-hour cycle differed from many other studies in that bears in the Flathead were active mostly in daylight hours. A greater use of darkness by bears in the fall, compared to other seasons, may be related to available daylight or to avoidance of hunters. While activity patterns were generally bimodal with activity peaks in morning and evening, the morning activity peak was not strongly tied to sunrise. Activity in the morning generally reached a peak 1 or more hours after sunrise. Seasonal trends in activity budgets conformed to physiological changes in bears necessitated by requirements for denning. Significant individual variation exists in both activity patterns and budgets, and may be related to body size, to frequency dependent foraging strategies, or to differing competitive ability for defendable resources among sex-age classes of bears.

description: Secure key distribution among two remote parties is impossible when both are classical, unless some unproven (and arguably unrealistic) computation-complexity assumptions are made, such as the difficulty of factorizing large numbers. On the other hand, a secure key distribution is possible when both parties are quantum. What is possible when only one party (Alice) is quantum, yet the other (Bob) has only classical capabilities? We present a protocol with this constraint, and prove its robustness against attacks: we prove that any attempt of an adversary to obtain information (and even a tiny amount of information) necessarily induces some errors that the legitimate users could notice.

description: Without additional heating, radiative cooling of gas in the halos of massive galaxies (Milky Way and above) produces cold gas or stars in excess of that observed. Previous work suggested that AGN jets are likely required, but the form of jet energy required to quench remains unclear. This is particularly challenging for galaxy simulations, in which the resolution is orders of magnitude coarser than necessary to form and evolve the jet. On such scales, the uncertain parameters include: jet energy form (kinetic, thermal, and cosmic ray (CR) energy), energy, momentum, and mass flux, magnetic field strength and geometry, jet precession angle and period, opening-angle, and duty cycle. We investigate all of these parameters in a $10^{14}\,{\rm M}_{\odot}$ halo using high-resolution non-cosmological MHD simulations with the FIRE-2 (Feedback In Realistic Environments) stellar feedback model, conduction, and viscosity. We explore which scenarios match observational constraints and show that CR-dominated jets can most efficiently quench the central galaxy through a combination of CR pressure support and a modification of the thermal instability. Jets with most energy in mildly relativistic ($\sim$ MeV or $\sim10^{10}$ K) thermal plasma work, but require a factor $\sim 10$ larger energy input. For a fixed energy flux, jets with higher specific energy (longer cooling times) quench more effectively. For this halo size, kinetic jets are less efficient in quenching unless they have wide opening or precession angles. Magnetic fields play a minor role except when the magnetic flux reaches $\gtrsim 10^{44}$ erg s$^{-1}$ in a kinetic jet model, which causes the jet cocoon to significantly widen, and the quenching to become explosive. We conclude that the criteria for a successful jet model are an optimal energy flux and a sufficiently wide jet cocoon with long enough cooling time at the cooling radius.

Stochastic primal-dual hybrid gradient algorithm with arbitrary sampling and imaging applications

Year: 2018

description: We propose a stochastic extension of the primal-dual hybrid gradient algorithm studied by Chambolle and Pock in 2011 to solve saddle point problems that are separable in the dual variable. The analysis is carried out for general convex-concave saddle point problems and problems that are either partially smooth / strongly convex or fully smooth / strongly convex. We perform the analysis for arbitrary samplings of dual variables, and we obtain known deterministic results as a special case. Several variants of our stochastic method significantly outperform the deterministic variant on a variety of imaging tasks.
Looking At A New Strategy to Save the Sacramento – San Joaquin Delta

Year: 2020

description: Water supply, flood control, and environmental management are fundamental challenges for the western United States. California’s unique development patterns, with nearly 20 million of its residents living in water starved southern California, has resulted in a system of water transfers and aqueduct systems that rely on water being pumped, collected and transferred from Northern California through an extensive and damaging pumping and aqueduct system. The Sacramento – San Joaquin Delta (the Delta) is the heart of California’s water source and the center of the transfer system. The Delta is an 837,594 acres area where the Sacramento and San Joaquin River join before entering the San Francisco Bay and then the Pacific Ocean. Water is pumped from the Delta through a system of aqueducts to agricultural users in the San Joaquin Valley and urban centers of the San Francisco Bay, Los Angeles and other communities throughout southern California. Unsustainable pumping of vast amounts of water yearly from the Delta has caused the collapse of several fish populations and has forced a rethinking of the federal and state water policies. United States federal and state river and water policies for the past 150 years have relied on maximizing conversions of wetlands for agricultural uses while placing a high priority on flood control on major rivers like the Mississippi, Missouri and Sacramento. As we move well into the 21st century the historic water policies of flood control and water exports have left the Delta facing an imminent collapse that threatens the massive California water transfers and the delta fisheries if immediate action is not taken. The effect of the collapse is potentially the loss of water to the 20 million California residences and the agricultural economy of the California San Joaquin Valley. Fortunately, the Delta provides a new laboratory for water policies and improved habitat and water quality while addressing the need for flood control. Images of the Delta will help to illustrate the multiplicity of interests that form the heart of the debate over California’s water future.

description: Using a sample of 89 snapshots from 58 hydrodynamic binary galaxy major merger simulations, we find that stellar remnants are mostly oblate while dark matter halos are mostly prolate or triaxial. The stellar minor axis and the halo major axis are almost always nearly perpendicular. This can be understood by considering the influence of angular momentum and dissipation during the merger. If binary mergers of spiral galaxies are responsible for the formation of elliptical galaxies or some subpopulation thereof, these galaxies can be expected to be oblate and inhabit their halos with the predicted shapes and orientations. These predictions are potentially relevant to observational studies of weak gravitational lensing, where one must stack many optically aligned galaxies in order to determine the shape of the resulting stacked mass distribution. The simple relationship between the dark and luminous matter presented here can be used to guide the stacking of galaxies to minimize the information lost.

The 2012 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development and the Future of International Environmental Protection
Creators: name: Anton, Donald K
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2020

description: This opinion piece addresses concerns about the suitability of the continuing use of sustainable development as a concept around which to organize international environmental protection. Despite advances made in international environmental law over the last 40 years, progress in abating global greenhouse gas continues to be slow, and predictions about global average temperature increases remain disturbing. The upcoming GEO5 publication based on the United Nations Environment Programme’s Global Environmental Outlook data portal reveals that prospects for improvements in global environmental standards are grim. Some of the challenges facing the advancement of international environmental law can be largely attributed to inefficiencies associated with treaty congestion; however, there is a more fundamental reason why international environmental law remains ineffective. There has been little, if any, progress because we have been focusing solely on the concept of sustainable development for the last quarter century. It is clear that ‘sustainable development’ has become too malleable a theory to serve its vital purpose. Consequently, it needs to be replaced with a straightforward title for the environmental movement. The international community needs to reconsider its approach in dealing with today’s pressing environmental concerns.

description: We present results from several simulations of equal mass black holes with spin. The spin magnitudes are $S/m^2=0.8$ in all cases, but we vary the spin orientations arbitrarily, in and outside the orbital plane. We find that in all but one case the final merged black hole acquires a kick of more than 1000 km/s, indicating that kicks of this magnitude are likely to be generic and should be expected for mergers with general spin orientations. The maximum kick velocity we find is 2500 km/s and occurs for initial spins which are anti-aligned in the initial orbital plane.

Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2020

description: Development planners continue to use mainstreaming as a way to include marginalized groups in the international development agenda. However, grassroots programs are gaining increasing attention as they are proving to be more effective than top-down measures. Furthermore, participatory programs allow individuals and communities to actively participate in their own development. This paper analyzes how one particular community of people with disabilities in Uganda are actively playing a role in their own development, both through participatory programs and collective efforts. This paper chronicles the implementation of participatory forms of development by people with disabilities (PWDs) in the Iganga district of Uganda. The paper could potentially lay the foundations for further research on the ability of local actors to create social change, or “development,” through their own actions. Participatory programs/models like these could be included in the international development agenda to allow people to become active in their own development.

description: We have studied the chemistry of nitrogen--bearing species during the initial stages of protostellar collapse, with a view to explaining the observed longevity of N2H+ and NH3 and the high levels of deuteration of these species. We followed the chemical evolution of a medium comprising gas and dust as it underwent free--fall gravitational collapse. Chemical processes which determine the relative populations of the nuclear spin states of molecules and molecular ions were included explicitly, as were reactions which lead ultimately to the deuteration of the nitrogen--containing species N2H+ and NH3. The freeze-out of `heavy' molecules onto grains was taken into account. We found that the timescale required for the nitrogen--containing species to attain their steady--state values was much larger than the free--fall time and even comparable with the probable lifetime of the precursor molecular cloud. However, it transpires that the chemical evolution of the gas during gravitational collapse is insensitive to its initial composition. If we suppose that the grain--sticking probabilities of atomic nitrogen and oxygen are both less than unity (S less than 0.3), we find that the observed differential freeze--out of nitrogen- and carbon--bearing species can be reproduced by the model of free--fall collapse when a sufficiently large grain radius (a_{g}= 0.5 micron) is adopted. Furthermore, the results of our collapse model are consistent with the high levels of deuteration of N2H+ and NH3 which have been observed in L1544 providing that 0.5

description: Pure entangled states of two spatial qudits have been produced by using the momentum transverse correlation of the parametric down-converted photons [Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{94} 100501]. Here we show a generalization of this process to enable the creation of mixed states of spatial qudits and by using the technique proposed we generate mixed states of spatial qubits. We also report how the process of quantum tomography is experimentally implemented to characterize these states. This tomographic reconstruction is based on the free evolution of spatial qubits, coincidence detection and a filtering process. The reconstruction method can be generalized for the case of two spatial qudits.

description: To improve the public acceptance of the future nuclear power in Europe we have to demonstrate that the new reactors have significantly higher safety level compared to traditional reactors. The ESFR-SMART project (European Sodium Fast Reactor Safety Measures Assessment and Research Tools) aims at enhancing further the safety of Generation-IV SFRs and in particular of the commercial-size European Sodium Fast Reactor (ESFR) in accordance with the European Sustainable Nuclear Industrial Initiative (ESNII) roadmap and in close cooperation with the Advanced Sodium Technological Reactor for Industrial Demonstration (ASTRID) program. The project aims at 5 specific objectives: Produce new experimental data in order to support calibration and validation of the computational tools for each defence-in-depth level. Test and qualify new instrumentations in order to support their utilization in the reactor protection system. Perform further calibration and validation of the computational tools for each defence-in-depth level in order to support safety assessments of Generation-IV SFRs, using the data produced in the project as well as selected legacy data. Select, implement and assess new safety measures for the commercial-size ESFR, using the GIF methodologies, the FP7 CP-ESFR project legacy, the calibrated and validated codes and being in accordance with the update of the European and international safety frameworks taking into account the Fukushima accident. Strengthen and link together new networks, in particular, the network of the European sodium facilities and the network of the European students working on the SFR technology. By addressing the industry, policy makers and general public, the project is expected to make a meaningful impact on economics, environment, EU policy and society. Selected results and milestones achieved during the first eighteen months of the project will be briefly presented, including proposal of new safety measures for ESFR; evaluation of ESFR core performance; benchmarking of codes; experimental programs; and education and training.

description: To determine the importance of merging galaxies to galaxy evolution, it is necessary to design classification tools that can identify different types and stages of merging galaxies. Previously, using GADGET-3/SUNRISE simulations of merging galaxies and linear discriminant analysis (LDA), we created an accurate merging galaxy classifier from imaging predictors. Here, we develop a complementary tool based on stellar kinematic predictors derived from the same simulation suite. We design mock stellar velocity and velocity dispersion maps to mimic the specifications of the Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point (MaNGA) integral field spectroscopy (IFS) survey and utilize an LDA to create a classification based on a linear combination of 11 kinematic predictors. The classification varies significantly with mass ratio; the major (minor) merger classifications have a mean statistical accuracy of 80% (70%), a precision of 90% (85%), and a recall of 75% (60%). The major mergers are best identified by predictors that trace global kinematic features, while the minor mergers rely on local features that trace a secondary stellar component. While the kinematic classification is less accurate than the imaging classification, the kinematic predictors are better at identifying post-coalescence mergers. A combined imaging + kinematic classification has the potential to reveal more complete merger samples from imaging and IFS surveys like MaNGA. We note that since the suite of simulations used to train the classifier covers a limited range of galaxy properties (i.e., the galaxies are intermediate mass and disk-dominated), the results may not be applicable to all MaNGA galaxies.

description: This thesis is an evaluation of digital menstrual tracking practices among transgender, non-binary, and gender-diverse users, broadening the scope of sociotechnical studies (STS) to investigate how disaggregated populations affect the producer-consumer metric. Utilising the collective methodological framework pioneered by Frigga Haug and the West German Women’s Socialist Association in the 1980s, participants were invited to “live historically” by narrativising their memories related to menstrual tracking and their transgender identity. From their stories, three key areas were identified as platforms upon which transgender users are both reinforcing and disrupting existing understandings of self-tracking. Through a deconstructionist reading of configuration, an examination of how self-tracking conflates juxtaposed identities, and an investigation into the collaborative efforts of transgender users, technology companies and medical professionals, this thesis offers an alternate understanding of the self in relation to actor-network theory.

description: We studied the evolution of isolated strange stars synthetically, considering the influence of {\it r-}mode instability. Our results show that the cooling of strange stars with non-ultra strong magnetic fields is delayed by the heating due to the {\it r-}modes damping during million years, while the spin-down of the stars is dominated by gravitational radiation. Especially for the strange stars in a possible existing color-flavor locked phase, the effect of the {\it r-}mode instability on the evolution of the stars becomes extremely important since the viscosity, the neutrino emissivity, and the specific heat involving paring quarks are blocked. It leads to the cooling of these color superconducting stars is very slow, and the stars can remain high temperature within million years differing completely from previous understanding. In this case, a strange star in color-flavor locked phase can be located at the bottom of its {\it r-}mode instability window for a long time, but does not spin down to a very low frequency within hours.

description: This paper provides an overview of solid waste management by local authorities in the Sucre municipality in Caracas, Venezuela. Sucre is currently faced with serious demographic, economic, social, urban, and administrative challenges in solid waste management. The municipality, called Petare, has one of the largest slums in Latin America. It is estimated that more than a million people live in Petare, and 30% live in poverty. Venezuela is also facing a political problem that has affected the solid waste management throughout the country. Local authorities in Sucre have worked with communities to develop solutions to confront these difficulties.

description: This research focuses on predicting the demand for air taxi urban air mobility (UAM) services during different times of the day in various geographic regions of New York City using machine learning algorithms (MLAs). Several ride-related factors (such as month of the year, day of the week and time of the day) and weather-related variables (such as temperature, weather conditions and visibility) are used as predictors for four popular MLAs, namely, logistic regression, artificial neural networks, random forests, and gradient boosting. Experimental results suggest gradient boosting to consistently provide higher prediction performance. Specific locations, certain time periods and weekdays consistently emerged as critical predictors.

Ciudad de la Cultura: Modernity and Architecture in Santiago de Compostela – Photo Essay
Creators: name: Fique, Simon
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2020

description: Santiago de Compostela has been a pilgrimage site for centuries. It was founded due to the discovery of the tomb of St. James (Santiago), whose remains are said to lie inside the city’s famous cathedral. Compostela is, nonetheless, a modest city of around 100,000 inhabitants, with a small but consolidated historic centre, and is the cultural and political centre of Galicia. It is the capital of the autonomic community of northwest Spain. With the objective of projecting Galicia as a centre of culture and knowledge on the world stage, the Xunta de Galicia (Council of Galicia) approved the construction of a monumental building complex over the top of Monte Gaiás, a hill that dominates Santiago and its surrounding topography. Construction began in 2001, supervised by architect Peter Eisenman, and the structure is still incomplete. The project has provoked a great deal of controversy, transcending all sectors of Gallegan and Spanish society. It has become an enormous expenditure for a Gallegan economy that is still one of the most traditional and modest in Spain. The controversy is especially sensitive given that Spain is already enduring a profound economic crisis. Critics say the project lacks clear purpose, without a sense of mission for the uses of the new buildings. This is especially so when contrasted to the historic centre of the city, a complete success in terms of public space habitability and economic solvency (due to tourism). One can only ask: Why, in front of such an exemplary model of small-scale, high-impact development, promoting long-term, ‘small-dose’ growth, is a complex built that opposes all the values of the community and city it represents? Haven’t the Gallegans learnt from their millenary past and their strong cultural heritage? It is becoming more evident, with time, that the City of Culture (Ciudad de la Cultura), the new development, is an example of what should not be done in the fields of urban and social development, at least in the context into which it has been inserted.

Information content of polarimetric synthetic aperture radar data

description: Research into the analysis of polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data continues to reveal new applications and data extraction techniques. The objective of this thesis is to examine the information content of a quad-polarization SAR, and determine which polarimetric variables are most useful for classification purposes. The four complex polarimetric radar channels (HH, HV, VH, and VV) are expressed as nine scattering matrix cross-product "features" (with the loss of only absolute phase), and the relative utility of each for terrain classification is examined. Feature utility is examined in two ways — by measuring how each feature separates classes of terrain in an image, and by measuring how well a classifier performs with and without each feature. The features are then ranked in order of utility to the classifier, or in order of information content. A sharp distinction is found between those features that provide information useful to the classifier, and those that do not. It is found that those features that are defined as the product of a co-polarized and a cross-polarized term can be relatively safely ignored, with little loss of classification accuracy. This would be useful for reducing data transmission, storage, and processing requirements, and for designing future simplified radar systems. There is qualitative evidence that classification performance can actually be improved when these features are ignored. Of three simplified radar systems considered, the co-polarized design (returning only the complex HH and VV channels) in general produced classifications closest to that of a fully polarimetric SAR.
Strengthening Local Governance Through Effective Waste Management: The “Sustainable Environmental Practices and Policies” Program in South Lebanon and the Bekaa Valley
Creators: name: McCornack, Andrew
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2020

description: In response to the critical lack of solid waste and wastewater management facilities in towns and cities around Lebanon, the YMCA of Lebanon implemented the Sustainable Environmental Practices and Policies (SEPP) program from 2003 to 2009. The overall goal of the SEPP program was to improve environmental practices and policies for the management of both solid waste and wastewater in rural Lebanon. This included the Ain Baal solid waste treatment plant (SWTP) serving the city of Tyre and nine wastewater treatment plants in municipalities in southern and central areas of the nation. The project built the capacity of local governments, and it ensured the use of reliable, low cost, low maintenance technologies that improve long-term sustainability. The project attests to the hard work of national civil society organizations to improve environmental practices and increase the accountability of local governments. This project has helped reduce tensions between communities and foster more democratic participation at the local level.

Building a Credit Scoring Model for the Savings and Credit Mutual of the Potou Zone

Year: 2020

description: This article explores the management of risk credit in a savings and credit mutual in the rural community of Potou, Senegal. Using a logit regression model, the authors outline a credit scoring model for this mutual. There are three main models of scoring. The principal advantage of the regression model is that it clearly shows the link between credit risk and its characteristics, and hence, has the best predictive power. The paper’s results indicate that the variables age, age-squared, gender reimbursement history, guarantee and frequency of reimbursement are all statistically significant in regards to their relationship with the probability of repayment in the logit regression model. This informative credit scoring model developed for MECZOP allows for an assessment of variables that influence significantly late reimbursement. However, the results need to be tested on old clients and new borrowers.

description: The leading order vacuum polarization contribution of very light millicharged fermions and scalar (spin-0) particles with charge εe and mass μto the Lamb shift of the hydrogen atom is shown to imply universal, i.e. μ-independent, upper bounds on ε: ε\lsim 10^{-4} for μ\lsim 1 keV in the case of fermions, and for scalars this bound is increased by a factor of 2. This is in contrast to expectations based on the commonly used approximation to the Uehling potential relevant only for conventionally large fermion (and scalar) masses.

Rocinha: Twenty-nine years of witnessing contrasts – Photo Essay
Creators: name: Lima, Leandro
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2020

description: I remember Rocinha twenty years ago. It was then the largest favela (shantytown) in Latin America, but its people had another reason to be proud: despite the power of drug lords and the government’s neglect, it was the only favela in Rio de Janeiro to develop as a “normal” neighborhood. The settlers from Brazil’s northeastern region who came to live in Rocinha were known to be people who tried to improve their living conditions, even though they were in an unknown territory and had left their families behind. Although I was born in Rio, both my parents come from the northeast of Brazil, like most friends my age who live here. We were brought up to start working at an early age and generate income as soon as possible. However, I have always wanted to do something in Rocinha, since I believe there are lots of people who want to turn this place into a benchmark for actions designed to improve the life of favela-dwellers. Even before I started college, I already planned to do something big in Rocinha but had no idea of what it could be. It was during my freshman year as a student of journalism that I had the idea to start a community communications class, and FavelaDaRocinha.com was born. After six months online, there were ten people working on the website. They undertook every activity of the mainstream, conventional media – photography, writing, editorial meetings, and contacts with politicians and other important people to produce material. At the beginning, our common goal was to gain experience, a normal thing for undergraduates, and over time these first collaborators used this experience to enter the professional world. Today, fifteen people work on the website. Since Rocinha’s pacification, in November 2011, we have gained international recognition thanks to the live coverage of this operation on Twitter. We also became news ourselves in the media all over Brazil, and also internationally in outlets such as Al-Jazeera and BBC.
