description: Six images of IRC+10216 taken by the Hubble Space Telescope at three epochs in 2001, 2011, and 2016 are compared in the rest frame of the central carbon star. An accurate astrometry has been achieved with the help of Gaia Data Release 2. The positions of the carbon star in the individual epochs are determined using its known proper motion, defining the rest frame of the star. In 2016, a local brightness peak with compact and red nature is detected at the stellar position. A comparison of the color maps between 2016 and 2011 epochs reveals that the reddest spot moved along with the star, suggesting a possibility of its being the dusty material surrounding the carbon star. Relatively red, ambient region is distributed in an $Ω$ shape and well corresponds to the dusty disk previously suggested based on near-infrared polarization observations. In a larger scale, differential proper motion of multiple ring-like pattern in the rest frame of the star is used to derive the average expansion velocity of transverse wind components, resulting in $\sim$ 12.5 km s$^{-1}$ ($d$/123 pc), where $d$ is the distance to IRC+10216. Three dimensional geometry is implied from its comparison with the line-of-sight wind velocity determined from half-widths of submillimeter emission line profiles of abundant molecules. Uneven temporal variations in brightness for different searchlight beams and anisotropic distribution of extended halo are revisited in the context of the stellar light illumination through a porous envelope with postulated longer-term variations for a period of $\lesssim10$ years.

description: Superconducting quantum circuits, fabricated with multiple layers, are proposed to implement perfect quantum state transfer between nodes of a hypercube network. For tunable devices such as the phase qubit, each node can transmit quantum information to any other node at a constant rate independent of the distance between qubits. The physical limits of quantum state transfer in this network are theoretically analyzed, including the effects of disorder, decoherence, and higher-order couplings.

The physical activity and health status of British young people: a school year case study
Creators: name: Khawaja, Irfan
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2021
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Introduction: Children’s physical activity (PA) behaviours differ according to their surrounding environment. There is a need for continued exploration into children’s PA across the school year using a mixed-method design. The significance of this thesis provides a deeper understanding of children’s PA behaviours and health status, and this thesis implements a PA intervention informed by children’s voice. Aim: The aim was to design a moderate-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) promoting intervention that was informed by children’s PA behaviours, which consequently informed the time of year, and time of day for when a PA intervention should be offered. Methods: Implementing a mixed-methods design, two exploratory studies investigated children’s heart rate (HR) and health status (Study 1), and children’s PA behaviours using HR and global positioning systems (GPS) – (Study 2). Studies 1 and 2 explored the PA behaviours of 119 children (aged 9-13 years, boys n = 57, girls n = 62) from a Middle school using HR monitors, GPS, PA diaries and focus groups. Anthropometric and cardiovascular fitness data were also collected. Study 3 applied a case study approach including a PA intervention underpinned by the Social-Ecological Model within the same school (aged 9-13 years, boys n = 31, girls n = 29). Results: The Spring term (winter months) showed children engaged in least amounts of MVPA, and also revealed the greatest number of children as overweight and ‘at risk’ of an obesity related disease according to BMI and waist -to-height ratio (WHtR) data. The child-informed PA intervention in Study 3 positively affected children’s MVPA, showing a 2.4% increase (8.2 minutes) in MVPA on intervention days compared with non-intervention days. Conclusion: The Social-Ecological Model underpinned the multi-staged mixed-methods design, and this approach effectively supports child-centred school-based PA programmes. Future research may wish to adopt a mixed-method approach when designing children’s PA interventions.

description: In five spacetime dimensions, instantons are finite energy, solitonic particles. We describe the dynamics of these objects in the presence of a Chern-Simons interaction. For U(N) instantons, we show that the 5d Chern-Simons term induces a corresponding Chern-Simons term in the ADHM quantum mechanics. For SU(N) instantons, we provide a description in terms of geodesic motion on the instanton moduli space, modified by the presence of a magnetic field. We show that this magnetic field is equal to the first Chern character of an index bundle. All of these results are derived by a simple method which follows the fate of zero modes as fermions are introduced, made heavy, and subsequently integrated out.

Ratios of star cluster core and half-mass radii: a cautionary note on intermediate-mass black holes in star clusters
Creators: name: Hurley, Jarrod R.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: There is currently much interest in the possible presence of intermediate-mass black holes in the cores of globular clusters. Based on theoretical arguments and simulation results it has previously been suggested that a large core radius -- or particularly a large ratio of the core radius to half-mass radius -- is a promising indicator for finding such a black hole in a star cluster. In this study N-body models of 100000 stars with and without primordial binaries are used to investigate the long-term structural evolution of star clusters. Importantly, the simulation data is analysed using the same processes by which structural parameters are extracted from observed star clusters. This gives a ratio of the core and half-mass (or half-light) radii that is directly comparable to the Galactic globular cluster sample. As a result, it is shown that the ratios observed for the bulk of this sample can be explained without the need for an intermediate-mass black hole. Furthermore, it is possible that clusters with large core to half-light radius ratios harbour a black-hole binary (comprised of stellar mass black holes) rather than a single massive black hole. This work does not rule out the existence of intermediate-mass black holes in the cores of at least some star clusters.

Transverse momentum dependence of the angular distribution of the Drell-Yan process

description: We calculate the transverse momentum Q_{\perp} dependence of the helicity structure functions for the hadroproduction of a massive pair of leptons with pair invariant mass Q. These structure functions determine the angular distribution of the leptons in the pair rest frame. Unphysical behavior in the region Q_{\perp} --> 0 is seen in the results of calculations done at fixed-order in QCD perturbation theory. We use current conservation to demonstrate that the unphysical inverse-power and \ln(Q/Q_{\perp}) logarithmic divergences in three of the four independent helicity structure functions share the same origin as the divergent terms in fixed-order calculations of the angular-integrated cross section. We show that the resummation of these divergences to all orders in the strong coupling strength α_s can be reduced to the solved problem of the resummation of the divergences in the angular-integrated cross section, resulting in well-behaved predictions in the small Q_{\perp} region. Among other results, we show the resummed part of the helicity structure functions preserves the Lam-Tung relation between the longitudinal and double spin-flip structure functions as a function of Q_{\perp} to all orders in α_s.

A study of the therapeutic alliance in couple therapy
Creators: name: Gruman, Mary
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The present study was an exploratory process-outcome examination of the therapeutic alliance in couple therapy as measured by a generic measurement instrument of the alliance. Measures were taken on a sample of eighty-four subjects; fifty-six subjects received emotionally-focused couple therapy and twenty-eight subjects received interactional/systemic couple therapy. Three aspects of the alliance were investigated: (1) the power of the alliance in predicting outcome in the two models of couple therapy; (2) the characteristics of the alliance in terms of its content and interpersonal system dimensions; (3) the interaction of couple characteristics with alliance and style of therapy in effecting outcome. The content dimension refers to the (a) task, (b) goal, and (c) bond components of the alliance; the interpersonal system components consist of the client's perceptions of the alliance between the therapist and: (a) the client (self-therapist), (b) the client's partner (other-therapist), and (c) the couple (relationship-therapist). Results indicated that the other-therapist component of the alliance consistently correlated with outcome measures in the two therapies; that the alliance correlated differently with the three outcome measures, and that it correlated differently with the outcome measures for the two models of therapy; that the characteristics of the alliance remained stable across the therapies and over time; that the strength of the alliance increased over time in emotionally-focused therapy. No interactive effects of alliance and couple characteristics were discovered.
Discovery of a strong 6.6 keV emission feature from EXO 1745$-$248 after the superburst in 2011 October

description: We discover an unidentified strong emission feature in the X-ray spectrum of EXO 1745$-$248 obtained by RXTE at 40 hr after the peak of a superburst. The structure was centered at 6.6 keV and significantly broadened with a large equivalent width of 4.3 keV, corresponding to a line photon flux of 4.7 $\times$ 10$^{-3}$ ph cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$. The 3-20 keV spectrum was reproduced successfully by a power law continuum with narrow and broad (2.7 keV in FWHM) Gaussian emission components. Alternatively, the feature can be described by four narrow Gaussians, centered at 5.5 keV, 6.5 keV, 7.5 keV and 8.6 keV. Considering the strength and shape of the feature, it is unlikely to have originated from reflection of the continuum X-rays by some optically thick materials, such as an accretion disk. Moreover, the intensity of the emission structure decreased significantly with an exponential time scale of 1 hr. The feature was not detected in an INTEGRAL observation performed 10 h before the RXTE observation with a line flux upper limit of 1.5 $\times$ 10$^{-3}$ ph cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$. The observed emission structure is consistent with gravitationally redshifted charge exchange emission from Ti, Cr, Fe, and Co. We suggest that the emission results from a charge exchange interaction between a highly metal-enriched fall back ionized burst wind and an accretion disk, at a distance of $\sim$60 km from the neutron star. If this interpretation is correct, the results provide new information on the understanding of nuclear burning processes during thermonuclear X-ray bursts.

In three dimensions, the one loop determinants for scalar, gauge and graviton excitations are computed explicitly using heat kernel techniques. We obtain precisely the result anticipated by Brown and Henneaux: the partition function includes a sum over "boundary excitations" of AdS3, which are the Virasoro descendants of empty Anti-de Sitter space. This result also allows us to compute the one-loop corrections to the Euclidean action of the BTZ black hole as well its higher genus generalizations.

Hence there should be remarked here that there has not been strong academic tradition and establishment in consideration to the development of Aceh maritime power. This is lackness known by some quarters and also as highlighted by some researchers such as C. A. Gibson-Hill emphasized (1949: 106), though it is not the exact region, there had not been any systematic works pertaining to vehicles of maritime transport in Malay Peninsula.

description: In this work we examine M dwarf rotation rates at a range of ages to establish benchmarks for Mdwarf gyrochronology. This work includes a sample of 713 spectroscopically-classified M0-M8 dwarfs with new rotation rates measured from K2 light curves. We analyzed data and recover rotation rates for 179 of these objects. We add these to rotation rates for members of clusters with known ages (5-700 Myr), as well as objects assumed to have field ages ($>$1 Gyr). We use Gaia DR2 parallax and (G-GRP) photometry to create color-magnitude diagrams to compare objects across samples. We use color-period plots to analyze the period distributions across age, as well as incorporate Halpha equivalent width and tangential velocity where possible to further comment on age dependence. We find that the age of transition from rapid to slow rotation in clusters, which we define as an elbow in the period-color plots, depends on spectral type. Later spectral types transition at older ages: M4 for Praesepe at 700 Myr, one of the oldest clusters for which M dwarf rotation rates have been measured. The transition from active to inactive Halpha equivalent width also occurs at this elbow, as objects transition from rapid rotation to the slowly rotating sequence. Redder or smaller stars remain active at older ages. Finally, using Gaia kinematics we find evidence for rotation stalling for late Ms in the field sample, suggesting the transition happens much later for mid to late-type M dwarfs.

Evanescent quadrupole polariton

description: In the work we demonstrate the formation of new type of polariton on the interface between a cuprous oxide slab and a polystyrene micro-sphere placed on the slab. The evanescent field of the resonant whispering gallery mode (WGM) has a substantial gradient, and therefore effectively couples with the quadrupole $1S$ excitons in cuprous oxide. This evanescent polariton has a long life-time ($1.7 ns$), which is determined only by its excitonic component. The polariton lower branch has a well pronounced minimum. This suggests that this excitation can be utilized for BEC. The spatial coherence of the polariton can be improved by assembling the micro-spheres in a linear chain.

description: In this paper we present CTRAMER (Charge Transfer RAtes from Molecular dynamics, Electronic structure, and Rate theory), an open source software package for calculating interfacial charge transfer (CT) rate constants in organic photovoltaic (OPV) materials based on ab initio calculations and molecular dynamics simulations. The software is based on identifying representative donor acceptor geometries within interfacial structures obtained from molecular dynamics simulation of donor acceptor blends and calculating the corresponding Fermi s golden rule CT rate constants within the framework of the linearized semiclassical approximation. While the methods used are well established, the integration of these state of the art ideas from different disciplines to study photoinduced CT between excited states and explicit environment, in our opinion, makes this package unique and innovative. The software also provides tools for plotting other observables of interest. After outlining the features and implementation details, usage and performance of the software are demonstrated with results from an example OPV system.

Interaction of stellar remnants and their environments

description: In this thesis I study single and binary stars and the evolution of planetary systems as the primary star evolves into a white dwarf. White dwarfs are the end point for 97% of stars in the Galaxy, but they are far from the end of its activity. White dwarfs can be sites of astrophysical activity via interactions with companion stars, planets and other small bodies. I first study the potential for planetary formation in evolving binaries due to mass transfer between stellar components. I estimate ~30 million second and ~3.5 million third generation planets in our Galaxy can form as a result of mass transfer and give parameters of the binary systems where this may occur. Following from this work I focused on a specific type of binary that may transfer mass in the future: a close white dwarf-brown dwarf (WD-BD) binary. These systems are highly uncommon and can act as proxies for large gaseous planets. I used observations of 24 WD-BDs candidates and found one that is potentially a true WD-BD binary. This binary assists research on survival through the common envelope phase, evolution of high mass ratio binaries and atmospheric irradiation. Finally I explored the fate of planets and other small bodies. Polluted white dwarfs are thought to be the remnants of tidally destroyed planetesimals that have accreted onto the WD surface. In the current literature the main mechanism for accretion cannot explain high accretion rates or the lack of observed discs. I used a magnetic field to decrease the lifetime of a disc of debris. I found that a field strength of 10 Kilo-Gauss is enough to shorten the lifetime of a disc and increase the accretion rate of the debris onto the surface. This method has not been used before this work and opens up a new area of research into polluted magnetic white dwarfs.

description: A recent re-determination of the non-thermal component of the hard X-ray to soft gamma-ray emission from the Galactic ridge, using the SPI instrument on the INTErnational Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory (INTEGRAL) Observatory, is shown to be well reproduced as inverse-Compton emission from the interstellar medium. Both cosmic-ray primary electrons and secondary electrons and positrons contribute to the emission. The prediction uses the GALPROP model and includes a new calculation of the interstellar radiation field. This may solve a long-standing mystery of the origin of this emission, and potentially opens a new window on Galactic cosmic rays.

description: The landscape of miniaturized wireless biomedical devices (MWBDs) is rapidly expanding as proactive mobile healthcare proliferates. MWBDs are diverse and include various injectable, ingestible, implantable, and wearable devices. While the growth of MWBDs increases the flexibility of medical services, the adoption of these technologies brings privacy and security risks for their users. MWBDs can operate with sensitive, private information and affect patients through the use of stimulation and drug delivery. Therefore, these devices require trust and need to be secure. Embedding protective mechanisms into MWBDs is challenging because they are restricted in size, power budget, as well as processing and storage capabilities. Nevertheless, MWBDs need to be at least minimally securable in the face of evolving threats. The main intent of this work is to make the primary stakeholders of MWBDs aware of associated risks and to help the architects and the manufacturers of MWBDs protect their emerging designs in a repeatable and structured manner. Making MWBDs securable begins with performing threat modeling. This paper introduces a domain-specific qualitative-quantitative threat model dedicated to MWBDs. The proposed model is then applied to representative case studies from each category of MWBDs.

description: We explore the tail of various waiting time datasets of processes that follow a nonstationary Poisson distribution with a sinusoidal driver. Analytically, we find that the distribution of large waiting times of such processes can be described using a power law slope of -2.5. We show that this result applies more broadly to any nonstationary Poisson process driven periodically. Examples of such processes include solar flares, coronal mass ejections, geomagnetic storms, and substorms. We also discuss how the power law specifically relates to the behavior of driver near its minima.

description: Using the atomic carbon [CI](1$-$0) and [CI](2$-$1) emission maps observed with the $Herschel\ Space\ Observatory$, and CO(1$-$0), HI, infrared and submm maps from literatures, we estimate the [CI]-to-H$_2$ and CO-to-H$_2$ conversion factors of $α_\mathrm{[CI](1-0)}$, $α_\mathrm{[CI](2-1)}$, and $α_\mathrm{CO}$ at a linear resolution $\sim1\,$kpc scale for six nearby galaxies of M 51, M 83, NGC 3627, NGC 4736, NGC 5055, and NGC 6946. This is perhaps the first effort, to our knowledge, in calibrating both [CI]-to-H$_2$ conversion factors across the spiral disks at spatially resolved $\sim1\,$kpc scale though such studies have been discussed globally in galaxies near and far. In order to derive the conversion factors and achieve these calibrations, we adopt three different dust-to-gas ratio (DGR) assumptions which scale approximately with metallicity taken from precursory results. We find that for all DGR assumptions, the $α_\mathrm{[CI](1-0)}$, $α_\mathrm{[CI](2-1)}$, and $α_\mathrm{CO}$ are mostly flat with galactocentric radii, whereas both $α_\mathrm{[CI](2-1)}$ and $α_\mathrm{CO}$ show decrease in the inner regions of galaxies. And the central $α_\mathrm{CO}$ and $α_\mathrm{[CI](2-1)}$ values are on average $\sim 2.2$ and $1.8$ times lower than its galaxy averages. The obtained carbon abundances from different DGR assumptions show flat profiles with galactocentric radii, and the average carbon abundance of the galaxies is comparable to the usually adopted value of $3 \times 10^{-5}$. We find that both metallicity and infrared luminosity correlate moderately with the $α_\mathrm{CO}$ whereas only weakly with either the $α_\mathrm{[CI](1-0)}$ or carbon abundance, and not at all with the $α_\mathrm{[CI](2-1)}$.

description: Large-scale turbulent structures in the form of coherent wavepackets play a significant role in the generation of prominent shallow angle noise radiation of jets. Economical prediction tools often model these wavepackets in the frequency-domain using stability modes of the mean flow. The use of simplifying choices, such as parabolized equations and azimuthal decomposition, provide efficient methods but can impose constraints on rate of streamwise variation of the mean state or geometric complexity. The current investigation develops a time-domain linearized Navier-Stokes-based approach predicated on the mean basic state for two goals: i) to obtain the radiated shallow-angle noise field, including that from imperfectly expanded jets containing shock trains, and ii) to estimate noise control trends with actuator frequency. A previously developed implicit linearization technique repurposing native non-linear Navier-Stokes code capabilities avoids any additional constraints on nozzle geometry, while its time-domain nature facilitates control analysis through transient pulse response. Two other integral components of the method are the sifting of linearized perturbations to isolate the acoustic component with Doak's Momentum Potential Theory, and subsequently Dynamic Mode Decomposition to analyze the response in different spectral ranges. Comparisons with well-validated LES databases show accurate model predictions for super-radiative shallow angle noise, including for hot jets from military-style nozzles. For a specific jet with extensive published experimental data using plasma actuators, it is shown that the method correctly predicts noise amplification at lower frequencies and reduction at higher values, at the observed crossover location. Considerations on the costs associated with the approach, which exploits linearity to extract multiple frequencies with each simulation, are outlined.

description: Electroencephalography signals allow to explore the functional activity of the brain cortex in a non-invasive way. However, the analysis of these signals is not straightforward due to the presence of different artifacts and the very low signal-to-noise ratio. Cross-Frequency Coupling (CFC) methods provide a way to extract information from EEG, related to the synchronization among frequency bands. However, CFC methods are usually applied in a local way, computing the interaction between phase and amplitude at the same electrode. In this work we show a method to compute PAC features among electrodes to study the functional connectivity. Moreover, this has been applied jointly with Principal Component Analysis to explore patterns related to Dyslexia in 7-years-old children. The developed methodology reveals the temporal evolution of PAC-based connectivity. Directions of greatest variance computed by PCA are called eigenPACs here, since they resemble the classical \textit{eigenfaces} representation. The projection of PAC data onto the eigenPACs provide a set of features that has demonstrates their discriminative capability, specifically in the Beta-Gamma bands.

The impact of emotionally focused couples therapy on marital interaction

description: This study has addressed the continued debate regarding the effectiveness of "non-behavioral" marital psychotherapy. It provides empirical support for the effectiveness of Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), an "affective systemic" therapy model, by investigating changes of in-therapy interaction as a function of therapy. Specifically, the question under examination was: During EFCT, is the interaction of couples in the latter stages of the therapeutic experience significantly more positive than the interaction of couples in the beginning stages of the therapeutic experience? The sample for this study consisted of 22 couples. A modification of the pretest-posttest control group design was used as the experimental design. The data consisted of audio recordings of the 22 participating couples' interaction during marital therapy sessions. Episodes marked by the presence of negative interactional patterns were chosen from the 2nd session of therapy and were compared to equivalent episodes from the 7th session. Two measures were used. The DAS, a self-report measure, was used to determine the level of marital distress experienced by the participating couples before and after treatment. And the SASB, an observer-rated coding system, was used for the analysis of the marital interaction. Cohen's Kappa, a coeffient of agreement for nominal scales, was used to determine the interrater reliability between the SASB coders. This study investigated eleven hypotheses regarding the effectiveness of Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy in bringing about positive change in couples' behavior and interaction during the therapy session. Eight of the eleven hypotheses were supported by statistically significant findings. EFCT was demonstrated to be effective in bringing about significant positive change in the frequency of negative/disaffiliative behaviors, the frequency of autonomous positive/affiliative behaviors, the occurrence of negative sequences, and the occurrence of positive sequences. EFCT was also demonstrated to be effective in bringing about significant positive change in positive other-focused behaviors, positive self-focused behaviors, negative reciprocal sequences, and negative complimentary sequences. However EFCT was not demonstrated to be effective in bringing about significant positive change in positive controlling behaviors, negative controlling behaviors, and positive complimentary sequences. In conclusion, this study has found substantial support for the assertion that Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy does indeed help couples to positively change the nature of their interaction in therapy.

description: Several studies suggest that cyclooxygenase-2 contributes to the delayed progression of ischemic brain damage. In this study we examined whether the highly selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor DFU reduces neuronal damage when administered several hours after 5 min of transient forebrain ischemia in gerbils. The extent of ischemic injury was assessed behaviorally by measuring the increases in locomotor activity and by histopathological evaluation of the extent of CA1 hippocampal pyramidal cell injury 7 days after ischemia. DFU treatment (10 mg/kg, p.o.) significantly reduced hippocampal neuronal damage even if the treatment is delayed until 12 h after ischemia. These results suggest that selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors may be a valuable therapeutic strategy for ischemic brain injury.

description: Observations have revealed that disturbances in the cold neutral atomic hydrogen (HI) in galaxies are ubiquitous, but the reasons for these disturbances remain unclear. While some studies suggest that asymmetries in integrated HI spectra (global HI asymmetry) are higher in HI-rich systems, others claim that they are preferentially found in HI-poor galaxies. In this work, we utilise the ALFALFA and xGASS surveys, plus a sample of post-merger galaxies, to clarify the link between global HI asymmetry and the gas properties of galaxies. Focusing on star-forming galaxies in ALFALFA, we find that elevated global HI asymmetry is not associated with a change in the HI content of a galaxy, and that only the galaxies with the highest global HI asymmetry show a small increase in specific star-formation rate (sSFR). However, we show that the lack of a trend with HI content is because ALFALFA misses the gas-poor tail of the star-forming main-sequence. Using xGASS to obtain a sample of star-forming galaxies that is representative in both sSFR and HI content, we find that global HI asymmetric galaxies are typically more gas-poor than symmetric ones at fixed stellar mass, with no change in sSFR. Our results highlight the complexity of the connection between galaxy properties and global HI asymmetry. This is further confirmed by the fact that even post-merger galaxies show both symmetric and asymmetric HI spectra, demonstrating that merger activity does not always lead to an asymmetric global HI spectrum.
