Drawing the Free Rigid Body Dynamics According to Jacobi

description: Guided by the Jacobi's work published the year before his death about the rotation of a rigid body, the behavior of the rotation matrix describing the dynamics of the free rigid body is studied. To illustrate this dynamics one draws on a unit sphere the trace of the three unit vectors, in the body system along the principal directions of inertia. A minimal set of properties of Jacobi's elliptic functions are used, those which allow to compute with the necessary precision the dynamics of the rigid body without torques, the so called Euler's top. Emphasis is on the paper published by Jacobi in 1850 on the explicit expression for the components of the rotation matrix. The tool used to compute the trajectories to be drawn are the Jacobi's Fourier series for {\sl theta} and {\sl eta} functions with extremely fast convergence. The Jacobi's {\sl sn}, {\sl cn} and {\sl dn} functions, which are better known, are used also as ratios of {\sl theta} functions which permit quick and accurate computation. Finally the main periodic part of the herpolhode curve was computed and graphically represented.

description: PROMPT (Panchromatic Robotic Optical Monitoring and Polarimetry Telescopes) observed the early-time optical afterglow of GRB 060607A and obtained a densely sampled multiwavelength light curve that begins only tens of seconds after the GRB. Located at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile, PROMPT is designed to observe the afterglows of gamma-ray bursts using multiple automated 0.4-m telescopes that image simultaneously in many filters when the afterglow is bright and may be highly variable. The data span the interval from 44 seconds after the GRB trigger to 3.3 hours in the Bgri filters. We observe an initial peak in the light curve at approximately three minutes, followed by rebrightenings peaking around 40 minutes and again at 66 minutes. Although our data overlap with the early Swift gamma-ray and x-ray light curves, we do not see a correlation between the optical and high-energy flares. We do not find evidence for spectral evolution throughout the observations. We model the variations in the light curves and find that the most likely cause of the rebrightening episodes is a refreshment of the forward shock preceded by a rapidly fading reverse shock component, although other explanations are plausible.

description: Deliverable report D7.5 of the EU Horizon 2020 Project OPTAIN (Grant agreement No. 862756). The report aims at identifying the needs and capacity of potential users of the OPTAIN Learning Environment.   Summary: The ‘training analysis’ aims at identifying the needs and capacity of relevant target groups for tailoring the OPTAIN Learning Environment to their potential users’ requirements. The training analysis is an on-going process next to the development of the Learning Environment. This report presents a first state of the art that will be constantly updated until the second version is produced in February 2025. At that stage, one challenge is to engage with potential users while the Learning Environment is under development. OPTAINs first training analysis focused on farmers, NGOs/associations, scientists, advisors/farmers’ unions. Their profile was described in individual persona based on the information gathered in interviews and desk analysis. A preliminary illustration of the key relation (i.e. trust, co-creation/transfer or communication) among persona was illustrated on a stakeholder mapping highlighting three sectors (training, dissemination and raising awareness). These information was then used to elaborate a training matrix bringing together the core needs of each persona, their related sector and potential materials to be used for trainings. The recommendations to set the trainings were drawn based on a 360° framework detailing 11 criteria to be taken into account and synthetic views for the targets, content, format, and transversal tips. Advisors/Farmers’ unions and NGOs/associations are the primary targets of OPTAIN training. As knowledge broker, they work at the interface with other stakeholders such as farmers. Scientists are the secondary target of the training. They are knowledge providers facing the huge challenge of co-creating the knowledge while providing demonstration of the multiple benefits of NSWRM and related themes. This leads to a change of the usual content and format of training. Indeed, the content should be scientific and community based (with experience sharing) and embedded in a trans-disciplinary approach. The format should offer the opportunities for learning experience through networking. The next steps will consist in enlarging the stakeholder mapping by adding persona related to the European Commission, regional authorities, decision makers and managers, students and representatives of the civil society. Each format (on-site, on-line, and continuous) will be further detailed in the respect of the balance between training ambitions and OPTAIN budget and resources.

description: We present Spitzer observations of a sample of 12 starless cores selected to have prominent 24 mum shadows. The Spitzer images show 8 mum and 24 mum shadows and in some cases 70 mum shadows; these spatially resolved absorption features trace the densest regions of the cores. We have carried out a {sup 12}CO (2-1) and {sup 13}CO (2-1) mapping survey of these cores with the Heinrich Hertz Telescope (HHT). We use the shadow features to derive optical depth maps. We derive molecular masses for the cores and the surrounding environment; we find that the 24 mum shadow masses are always greater than or equal to the molecular masses derived in the same region, a discrepancy likely caused by CO freezeout onto dust grains. We combine this sample with two additional cores that we studied previously to bring the total sample to 14 cores. Using a simple Jeans mass criterion, we find that approx2/3 of the cores selected to have prominent 24 mum shadows are collapsing or near collapse, a result that is supported by millimeter line observations. Of this subset at least half have indications of 70 mum shadows. All cores observed to produce absorption features at 70 mummore » are close to collapse. We conclude that 24 mum shadows, and even more so the 70 mum ones, are useful markers of cloud cores that are approaching collapse.« less

Organisationale Ausgestaltung der persönlichen Hilfe im Kanton Zürich: Eine empirisch vergleichende Untersuchung zur Funktion, Organisation und Kooperation in der persönlichen Hilfe im Kanton Zürich

description: Mit der Richtlinienrevision der Schweizerischen Konferenz für Sozialhilfe SKOS per 1. Januar 2021 hat die persönliche Hilfe innerhalb der gesetzlichen Sozialhilfe ein eigenes Kapitel erhalten und wird nun gleichberechtigt zur wirtschaftlichen Hilfe in den Richtlinien aufgeführt. Die Formulierungen in den kantonalen Gesetzesgrundlagen des Sozialhilfegesetzes (SHG) und der Sozialhilfeverordnung (SHV) des Kanton Zürich sehen bis zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt kein Verfahren für die persönliche Hilfe vor. Es ist denkbar, dass dadurch eine hohe Heterogenität in der Ausgestaltung der persönlichen Hilfe im Kanton Zürich vorherrscht. Eine empirische Auseinandersetzung mit der persönlichen Hilfe aus der organisationalen Perspektive im Kanton Zürich fehlt gänzlich. Im Rahmen einer vergleichend empirischen Untersuchung setzt sich die vorliegende Studie deshalb mit der organisationalen Ausgestaltung der persönlichen Hilfe aus Sicht der Sozialdienste im Kanton Zürich auseinander. Auf Basis von fünf transkribierten teilstandardisierten leitfadengestützte Expertinnen- und Experteninterviews konnte mittels der qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse ein Kategoriensystem mit drei Hauptachsen entwickelt werden: Funktion und Steuerung der persönlichen Hilfe, Organisationale Umsetzung der persönlichen Hilfe sowie Kooperationen in der persönlichen Hilfe.  In der empirischen Analyse hat sich die Annahme bestätigt, dass in den untersuchten Sozialdiensten eine ausgesprochen diverse organisationale Ausgestaltung der persönlichen Hilfe vorliegt. Die gesetzlichen Grundlagen geben keine Form der persönlichen Hilfe vor, was dazu führt, dass diese unterschiedlich ausgelegt und interpretiert werden. Gemeinsam haben alle untersuchten Sozialdienste, dass die persönliche Hilfe als ein präventives Angebot zur Verhinderung von gesetzlichen Massnahmen und wirtschaftlicher Sozialhilfe verstanden wird. Die Kooperationen mit Fachstellen, Freiwilligenangeboten sowie kirchlichen Sozialdiensten stellen ein zentrales Strukturmerkmal in der Ausgestaltung der persönliche Hilfe in den untersuchten Sozialdiensten dar. Aus den vorliegenden Ergebnissen werden Empfehlungen für die Praxis und Wissenschaft abgeleitet.

description: Measurement of osmolarity is critical for optimizing bioprocesses including antibody production and detecting pathologies. Thus, rapid, sensitive, and in situ sensing of osmolarity is desirable. This study aims to develop and assess the suitability of calcein- and sulforhodamine-loaded nanoliposomes for ratiometric sensing of osmolarity by fluorescence spectroscopy and evaluate the range of detection. The detection is based on concentration-dependent self-quenching of calcein fluorescence (sensor dye at 6–15 mM) and concentration-independent fluorescence of sulforhodamine (reference dye) due to osmotic shrinkage of the nanoliposomes when exposed to hyperosmotic solutions. Using mathematical modeling, 6 mM calcein loading was found to be optimal to sense osmolarity between 300 and 3000 mOsM. Calcein (6 mM)- and sulforhodamine (2 mM)-loaded nanoliposomes were produced by thin-film hydration and serial extrusion. The nanoliposomes were unilamellar, spherical (108 ± 9 nm), and uniform in size (polydispersity index [PDI] 0.12 ± 0.04). Their shrinkage induced by exposure to hyperosmotic solutions led to rapid self-quenching of calcein fluorescence (FGreen), but no effect on sulforhodamine fluorescence (FRed) was observed. FGreen/FRed decreased linearly with increasing osmolarity, obeying Boyle van’t Hoff’s relationship, thus proving that the nanoliposomes are osmosensitive. A calibration curve was generated to compute osmolarity based on FGreen/FRed measurements. As a proof-of-concept, dynamic changes in osmolarity in a yeast-based fermentation process was demonstrated. Thus, the nanoliposomes have great potential as sensors to rapidly and sensitively measure wide-ranging osmolarities.

COMPETITIVE ACCRETION IN A SHEET GEOMETRY AND THE STELLAR IMF

description: We report a set of numerical experiments aimed at addressing the applicability of competitive accretion to explain the high-mass end of the stellar initial mass function in a sheet geometry with shallow gravitational potential, in contrast to most previous simulations which have assumed formation in a cluster gravitational potential. Our flat cloud geometry is motivated by models of molecular cloud formation due to large-scale flows in the interstellar medium. The experiments consisted of SPH simulations of gas accretion onto sink particles formed rapidly from Jeans-unstable dense clumps placed randomly in the finite sheet. These simplifications allow us to study accretion with a minimum of free parameters, and to develop better statistics on the resulting mass spectra. We considered both clumps of equal mass and gaussian distributions of masses, and either uniform or spatially-varying gas densities. In all cases, the sink mass function develops a power law tail at high masses, with $dN/dlog M \propto M^{-\Gamma}$. The accretion rates of individual sinks follow $\dot{M} \propto M^2$ at high masses; this results in a continual flattening of the slope of the mass function towards an asymptotic form $\Gamma \sim 1$ (where the Salpeter slope is $\Gamma = 1.35$). The asymptotic limit is most rapidly reached when starting from a relatively broad distribution of initial sink masses. In general the resulting upper mass slope is correlated with the maximum sink mass; higher sink masses are found in simulations with flatter upper mass slopes. Although these simulations are of a highly idealized situation, the results suggest that competitive accretion may be relevant in a wider variety of environments than previously considered, and in particular that the upper mass distribution may generally evolve towards a limiting value of $\Gamma \sim 1$.

description: Recent work has identified a population of low-redshift E/S0 galaxies that lie on the blue sequence in color versus stellar mass parameter space, where spiral galaxies typically reside. While high-mass blue-sequence E/S0s often resemble young merger or interaction remnants likely to fade to the red sequence, we focus on blue-sequence E/S0s with lower stellar masses (M *< a few ×1010M ☉), which are characterized by fairly regular morphologies and low-density field environments where fresh gas infall is possible. This population may provide an evolutionary link between early-type galaxies and spirals through disk regrowth. Focusing on atomic gas reservoirs, we present new GBT H I data for 27 E/S0s on both sequences as well as a complete tabulation of archival H I data for other galaxies in the Nearby Field Galaxy Survey. Normalized to stellar mass, the atomic gas masses for 12 of the 14 blue-sequence E/S0s range from 0.1 to >1.0, demonstrating that morphological transformation is possible if the detected gas can be converted into stars. These gas-to-stellar mass ratios are comparable to those of spiral and irregular galaxies and have a similar dependence on stellar mass. Assuming that the H I is accessible for star formation, we find that many of our blue-sequence E/S0s can increase in stellar mass by 10%-60% in 3 Gyr in both of two limiting scenarios, exponentially declining star formation (i.e., closed box) and constant star formation (i.e., allowing gas infall). In a constant star formation scenario, about half of the blue-sequence E/S0s require fresh gas infall on a timescale of 3 Gyr to avoid exhausting their atomic gas reservoirs and evolving to the red sequence. We present evidence that star formation in these galaxies is bursty and likely involves externally triggered gas inflows. Our analysis suggests that most blue-sequence E/S0s are indeed capable of substantial stellar disk growth on relatively short timescales.

Frauen im hohen Alter und ihre Ansprüche an die kommunale Alterspolitik: Eine empirische Untersuchung am Beispiel der Stadt Luzern
Creators: name: Zumbühl, Milena

description: Die Biografien von Frauen und Männern weisen oft geschlechterspezifische Unterschiede auf. Mit dem Eintritt in den Ruhestand und dem Beginn der Lebensphase «Alter» wird häufig die Angleichung der Lebenssituation von Frauen und Männern verknüpft. Die lebenslangen, geschlechterspezifischen Unterschiede, welche für Frauen oft von sozialen Ungleichheiten geprägt waren, heben sich jedoch nicht auf, sondern können sich auch im Alter auf das Leben von Frauen auswirken. Die vorliegende Master-Thesis geht der Frage nach, ob sich aus den weiblichen Biografien frauenspezifische Ansprüche an die kommunale Alterspolitik ergeben. In einem zweiten Schritt werden die gewonnenen Erkenntnisse mit dem Angebot der Alterspolitik der Stadt Luzern abgeglichen, um daraus Handlungsempfehlungen für die kommunale Alterspolitik und die Soziale Arbeit abzuleiten. Auf Basis von sechs transkribierten Interviews mit Bewohnerinnen der Stadt Luzern konnte mittels der inhaltlich strukturierenden qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse ein Kategoriensystem erstellt werden, welches anschliessend ausgewertet wurde. Die Ergebnisse zeigen auf, dass die befragten Frauen klare Vorstellungen davon haben, welche Dienstleistungen und Angebote sie im hohen Alter benötigen könnten, die von der Kommune angeboten werden sollten. Viele der geäusserten Ansprüche konnten im Abgleich mit dem bestehenden Versorgungsnetz der Stadt Luzern gedeckt werden. Handlungsbedarf wurde bei jenen Aussagen festgestellt, in denen gesellschaftliche Aspekte, welche die alte Bevölkerung betreffen, geäussert wurden.

description: Fractional diffusion equations for three-dimensional lattice models based on fractional-order differences of the Grunwald-Letnikov type are suggested. These lattice fractional diffusion equations contain difference operators that describe long-range jumps from one lattice site to other. In continuum limit, the suggested lattice diffusion equations with non-integer order differences give the diffusion equations with the Grunwald-Letnikov fractional derivatives for continuum. We propose a consistent derivation of the fractional diffusion equation with the fractional derivatives of Grunwald-Letnikov type. The suggested lattice diffusion equations can be considered as a new microstructural basis of space-fractional diffusion in nonlocal media.

description: We constrain the distribution of calcium across the surface of the white dwarf star G29-38 by combining time series spectroscopy from Gemini-North with global time series photometry from the Whole Earth Telescope. G29-38 is actively accreting metals from a known debris disk. Since the metals sink significantly faster than they mix across the surface, any inhomogeneity in the accretion process will appear as an inhomogeneity of the metals on the surface of the star. We measure the flux amplitudes and the calcium equivalent width amplitudes for two large pulsations excited on G29-38 in 2008. The ratio of these amplitudes best fits a model for polar accretion of calcium and rules out equatorial accretion.

description: We present a study of dense molecular gas kinematics in 17 nearby protostellar systems using single-dish and interferometric molecular line observations. The non-axisymmetric envelopes around a sample of Class 0/I protostars were mapped in the N 2 H + ( J = 1 _ 0) tracer with the IRAM 30 m, CARMA, and Plateau de Bure Interferometer, as well as NH 3 (1,1) with the Very Large Array. The molecular line emission is used to construct line-center velocity and linewidth maps for all sources to examine the kinematic structure in the envelopes on spatial scales from 0.1 pc to ~1000 AU. The direction of the large-scale velocity gradients from single-dish mapping is within 45° of normal to the outflow axis in more than half the sample. Furthermore, the velocity gradients are often quite substantial, the average being ~2.3 km s –1 pc –1 . The interferometric data often reveal small-scale velocity structure, departing from the more gradual large-scale velocity gradients. In some cases, this likely indicates accelerating infall and/or rotational spin-up in the inner envelope; the median velocity gradient from the interferometric data is ~10.7 km s –1 pc –1 . In two systems, we detect high-velocity HCO + ( J = 1 _ 0) emission inside the highest-velocity N 2 H + emission. This enables us to study the infall and rotation close to the disk and estimate the central object masses. The velocity fields observed on large and small scales are more complex than would be expected from rotation alone, suggesting that complex envelope structure enables other dynamical processes (i.e., infall) to affect the velocity field.

description: Although the general theory macroscopic quantum entanglement of is still in its infancy, consideration of the matter in the framework of action-at-a distance electrodynamics predicts for the random dissipative processes observability of the advanced nonlocal correlations. These correlations were really revealed in our previous experiments with some large-scale heliogeophysical processes as the source ones and the lab detectors as the probe ones. Recently a new experiment has been performing on the base of Baikal Deep Water Neutrino Observatory. The thick water layer is an excellent shield against any local impacts on the detectors. The first annual series 2012/2013 has demonstrated that detector signals respond to the heliogeophysical processes and causal connection of the signals directed downwards: from the Earth surface to the Baikal floor. But this nonlocal connection proved to be in reverse time. In addition advanced nonlocal correlation of the detector signal with the regional source-process: the random component of hydrological activity in the upper layer was revealed and the possibility of its forecast on nonlocal correlations was demonstrated. But the strongest macroscopic nonlocal correlations are observed at extremely low frequencies, that is at periods of several months. Therefore the above results should be verified in a longer experiment. We verify them by data of the second annual series 2013/2014 of the Baikal experiment. All the results have been confirmed, although some quantitative parameters of correlations and time reversal causal links turned out different due to nonstationarity of the source-processes. A new result is displaying of the advanced response of nonlocal correlation detector to the earthquake. This opens up the prospect of the earthquake forecast on the new physical principle, although further confirmation in the next events is certainly needed.

description: The expansion and collision of two wind-blown superbubbles is investigated numerically. Our models go beyond previous simulations of molecular cloud formation from converging gas flows by exploring this process with realistic flow parameters, sizes and timescales. The superbubbles are blown by time-dependent winds and supernova explosions, calculated from population synthesis models. They expand into a uniform or turbulent diffuse medium. We find that dense, cold gas clumps and filaments form naturally in the compressed collision zone of the two superbubbles. Their shapes resemble the elongated, irregular structure of observed cold, molecular gas filaments and clumps. At the end of the simulations, between 65 and 80 percent of the total gas mass in our simulation box is contained in these structures. The clumps are found in a variety of physical states, ranging from pressure equilibrium with the surrounding medium to highly under-pressured clumps with large irregular internal motions and structures which are rotationally supported.

description: The network of interpersonal connections is one of the possible heterogeneous factors which affect the income distribution emerging from micro-to-macro economic models. In this paper we equip our model discussed in [1,2] with a network structure. The model is based on a system of $n$ differential equations of the kinetic discretized-Boltzmann kind. The network structure is incorporated in a probabilistic way, through the introduction of a link density $P(α)$ and of correlation coefficients $P(β|α)$, which give the conditioned probability that an individual with $α$ links is connected to one with $β$ links. We study the properties of the equations and give analytical results concerning the existence, normalization and positivity of the solutions. For a fixed network with $P(α)=c/α^q$, we investigate numerically the dependence of the detailed and marginal equilibrium distributions on the initial conditions and on the exponent $q$. Our results are compatible with those obtained from the Bouchaud-Mezard model and from agent-based simulations, and provide additional information about the dependence of the individual income on the level of connectivity.

MODES OF STAR FORMATION IN FINITE MOLECULAR CLOUDS

description: We analytically investigate the modes of gravity-induced star formation possible in idealized finite molecular clouds where global collapse competes against both local Jeans instabilities and discontinuous edge instabilities. We examine these timescales for collapse in spheres, discs, and cylinders, with emphasis on the structure, size, and degree of internal perturbations required in order for local collapse to occur before global collapse. We find that internal, local collapse is more effective for the lower dimensional objects. Spheres and discs, if unsupported against global collapse, must either contain strong perturbations or must be unrealistically large in order for small density perturbations to collapse significantly faster than the entire cloud. We find, on the other hand, that filamentary geometry is the most favorable situation for the smallest perturbations to grow before global collapse overwhelms them and that filaments containing only a few Jeans masses and weak density perturbations can readily fragment. These idealized solutions are compared with simulations of star-forming regions in an attempt to delineate the role of global, local, and edge instabilities in determining the fragmentation properties of molecular clouds. The combined results are also discussed in the context of recent observations of Galactic molecular clouds.
The Boué--Dupuis formula and the exponential hypercontractivity in the Gaussian space

description: This paper concerns a variational representation formula for Wiener functionals. Let $B=\{ B_{t}\} _{t\ge 0}$ be a standard $d$-dimensional Brownian motion. Boué and Dupuis (1998) showed that, for any bounded measurable functional $F(B)$ of $B$ up to time $1$, the expectation $\mathbb{E}\!\left[ e^{F(B)}\right] $ admits a variational representation in terms of drifted Brownian motions. In this paper, with a slight modification of insightful reasoning by Lehec (2013) allowing also $F(B)$ to be a functional of $B$ over the whole time interval, we prove that the Boué--Dupuis formula holds true provided that both $e^{F(B)}$ and $F(B)$ are integrable, relaxing conditions in earlier works. We also show that the formula implies the exponential hypercontractivity of the Ornstein--Uhlenbeck semigroup in $\mathbb{R}^{d}$, and hence, due to their equivalence, implies the logarithmic Sobolev inequality in the $d$-dimensional Gaussian space.

Emotionsregulation und tiergestützte Interventionen nach traumatischen Lebensereignissen mit Kindern im Alter von 2–4 Jahren: Eine Wirksamkeitsstudie
Creators: name: Brandenburger, Jessica Penny
Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: Kinder und Jugendliche, die traumatische Lebensereignisse erlebt haben, brauchen eine besondere Förderung und Betreuung, um langfristig gesund zu bleiben. Ein begünstigender Faktor dafür ist die innere Widerstandsfähigkeit, die Resilienz. Resilienz ist trainierbar. Sie entsteht als Ergebnis eines Entwicklungsprozesses, bei dem trotz vorhandenen Entwicklungsrisiken eine günstige Entwicklung gelingt. Es wird angenommen, dass tiergestützte Interventionen eine Möglichkeit sind, die Resilienz von Kindern und Jugendlichen mit traumatischen Lebensereignissen zu festigen. Gegenstand dieser Arbeit ist ein zentrales Element der Resilienz, die Emotionsregulation. In einem Pre/Post- Studiendesign konnte gezeigt werden, dass durch eine tiergestützte Intervention, in Form eines tiergestützten Gruppentrainings die gelingende Emotionsregulation der teilnehmenden Kinder im Alter von 2- 4 Jahren unterstützt werden konnte. Die Studie wurde mit drei Kindern während 12 Wochen durchgeführt, in die Auswertung konnten die vollständigen Datensätze von zwei Kindern einfliessen. Befragt wurden die engsten Erziehungspersonen der Kinder. An Hand der Daten kann gezeigt werden, dass alle von den Erziehungspersonen wahrgenommenen Veränderungen sowohl im Sozialverhalten (anklammerndes Verhalten, Zusammenspiel mit anderen Kindern), im psychosomatischen Bereich (Klagen über Kopfschmerzen, Bauchschmerzen oder Übelkeit), als auch bei den psychologischen Merkmalen (Selbstvertrauen, Niedergeschlagenheit, Ängste) positiv sind. Nicht festgestellt werden konnte, dass sich negative emotionale Symptome durch die Intervention verstärkt haben. Die Intervention ist eine Massnahme im Früh Förderbereich. Durch eine Analyse der Strategie für die Frühe Förderung im Kanton Basel- Stadt, in dem die Intervention durchgeführt wurde, kann aufgezeigt werden, dass es trotz grosser Bemühungen des Kantons noch ein beträchtliches Verbesserungspotenzial im Bereich der Frühen Förderung, vor allem in der niederschwelligen Erreichbarkeit von Angeboten, gibt.
