description: Notoxus hilaris sp. nov.
(Figs. 11, 75, 81)
 Type locality. Myanmar, Kachin State, Myitkyina, about 350 m a.s.l.
 Type material. HOLOTYPE: J, ‘ MYANMAR: Kachin State, Myitkyina, Sumpra Hotel 26. - 27.5.1999, ca. 350 m, at light, leg. Schuh & Schillhammer (55)’ (NHMW).
  Description. Male  (holotype). Body length 3.4 mm. Head and pronotum reddish brown, pronotum largely darker. Elytra pale reddish to yellowish, with conspicuous brown black markings (Fig. 81); only humeral spots touching lateral margins. Legs and antennae reddish.
Body only moderately glossy, rather finely, densely and evenly punctured; pronotum with some scattered coarser punctures; margins of punctures on elytra not quite smooth, very finely sculptured. Body setation mostly appressed to subdecumbent; pronotum with some conspicuously long, suberect to erect setae antero-laterally; elytra with numerous, distinctly longer suberect setae. Antebasal setose band of pronotum conspicuous, widely interrupted medially. Protibiae in addition to fine setation with short, stiff setae forming dense fringe on median longitudinal edge.
Head with rather large eyes. Antennae long, only moderately enlarged in terminal third. Pronotum as wide as head across eyes, globose to moderately elongate in dorsal view. Pronotal horn moderately long and slender, largely subparallel, armed with 4–5 distinctly protruding lateral lobules on each side and simple wider apical lobule; horn crest only moderately raised, evenly lowering towards horn apex, its lateral margins feebly marked by series of somewhat coarser, distinctly separate lobules / rugules; dorsal surface rather evenly and densely covered by distinct rounded rugules. Elytra 2.2 times as long as wide; humeri distinctly protruding; omoplates and postbasal moderately indicated; elytral apices indistinctly modified, unevenly rounded to subtruncate, with rounded gland opening near rather rounded lateral angle. Protibiae distinctly modified, moderately sinuous, twice angulately produced and flatly impressed, with longitudinal edge on median side (Fig. 75).Abdominal sternum VII evenly rounded posteriorly. Tergum VIII forming simple, evenly arched sclerite. Aedeagus as figured (Fig. 11).
  Female.  Unknown.
 Differential diagnosis. Notoxus hilaris sp. nov. can be easily distinguished from all members of the N. indicus species-group by rather distinctive colouration of the elytra, shape and modified setation of the male protibiae and by morphology of the aedeagus.
 Etymology. From Latin word hilaris (merry, hilarious); named in reference to the conspicuous markings of the elytra.
 Distribution. Myanmar.

description: A Chandra ACIS-S imaging observation of the nearby galaxy M81 (NGC 3031) reveals 9 luminous soft X-ray sources. The local environments, X-ray spectral properties, and X-ray light curves of the sources are presented and discussed in the context of prevailing physical models for supersoft sources. It is shown that the sample falls within expectations based on population synthesis models taken from the literature though the high observed luminosities (L~2.0e36 to \~3.0e38 erg/s in the 0.2-2.0 keV band) and equivalent blackbody temperatures T~40 to 80 eV) place the brightest detected M81 objects at the high luminosity end of the class of supersoft sources defined by previous ROSAT and Einstein studies of nearby galaxies. This is interpreted as a natural consequence of the higher sensitivity of Chandra to hotter and more luminous systems. Most of the sources can be explained as canonical \ssss, accreting white dwarfs powered by steady surface nuclear burning, with X-ray spectra well-fit by hot white dwarf local thermodynamic equilibrium atmosphere models. An exceptionally bright source is scrutinized in greater detail as its estimated bolometric luminosity, L~1.5e39 erg/s, greatly exceeds theoretical estimates for supersoft sources. This source may be beyond the stability limit and undergoing a phase of mass outflow under extreme conditions. Alternatively, a model in which the observed X-ray spectrum arises from an accretion disk around a blackhole of mass \~1200/sqrt(cos(i)) solar masses (viewed at an inclination angle i) cannot be excluded.

description: This thesis examines how sexuality and gender intersect to affect leadership in a sport context in Australia. Women’s embodiment of leadership in predominantly masculine domains such as sport administration has been considered in previous research, but sexuality is often sidelined in these articulations. My research explores the question of who it is possible to become in leadership roles in sport, in order to bring sexuality into direct relation with leadership to unsettle the masculine heteronormativity of sport. I begin with the use of the ‘traditional’ method of oral history interviews before shifting towards thinking with theory. Informed by feminist post-structural and postqualitative approaches, I explore alternative ways of thinking about leadership through the privileging of affect. I use critical-creative analytic assemblage thinking and consider the power struggles that haunt the sport leadership space. I aim to contribute to the body of work on queering sport by focusing on and unpacking the complexities that arise through analysis of affective, disruptive moments and tensions that emerge through the construction of narrative. Drawing upon contemporary feminist thought, I plug-in theories of emotion and affect to explore how both leadership and the research process are enacted and performed to produce a multiplicity of knowledges. My analysis gestures towards the complex affects and power relations that circulate through sport assemblages, and I problematise linear notions of progress towards ‘success’ or ‘gender equity’ outcomes. This research contributes to shifting the focus from women as individualised subjects who ‘lack’ leadership ‘qualities’ towards a conceptualisation of leading as relational.

description: We study how the use of several stellar subtraction methods and line fitting approaches can affect the derivation of the main kinematic parameters (velocity and velocity dispersion fields) of the ionized gas component. The target of this work is the nearby galaxy NGC 2906, observed with the MUSE instrument at Very Large Telescope. A sample of twelve spectra is selected from the inner (nucleus) and outer (spiral arms) regions, characterized by different ionization mechanisms. We compare three different methods to subtract the stellar continuum (FIT3D, STARLIGHT and pPXF), combined with one of the following stellar libraries: MILES, STELIB and GRANADA+MILES. The choice of the stellar subtraction method is the most important ingredient affecting the derivation of the gas kinematics, followed by the choice of the stellar library and by the line fitting approach. In our data, typical uncertainties in the observed wavelength and width of the Hαand [NII] lines are of the order of _rms \sim 0.1Å and _rms \sim 0.2Å (\sim 5 and 10km/s, respectively). The results obtained from the [NII] line seem to be slightly more robust, as it is less affected by stellar absorption than Hα. All methods considered yield statistically consistent measurements once a mean systemic contribution Δ\barλ=Δ\barσ=0.2xDelta_{MUSE} is added in quadrature to the line fitting errors, where Δ_{MUSE} = 1.1Å \sim 50 km/s denotes the instrumental resolution of the MUSE spectra. Although the subtraction of the stellar continuum is critical in order to recover line fluxes, any method (including none) can be used in order to measure the gas kinematics, as long as an additional component of 0.2 x Delta_MUSE is added to the error budget.

Incompatibility of a comoving Ly-alpha forest with supernova-Ia luminosity distances

Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: Recently Perlmutter et al. suggested a positive value of Einstein's cosmological constant Lambda on the basis of luminosity distances from type-Ia supernovae. However, Lambda world models had earlier been proposed by Hoell & Priester and Liebscher et al. on the basis of quasar absorption-line data. Employing more general repulsive fluids ("dark energy") encompassing the Lambda component we quantitatively compare both approaches with each other. Fitting the SN-data by a minimum-component model consisting of dark energy + dust yields a closed universe with a large amount of dust exceeding the baryonic content constrained by big-bang nucleosynthesis. The nature of the dark energy is hardly constrained. Only when enforcing a flat universe there is a clear tendency to a dark-energy Lambda fluid and the `canonical' value Omega_M = 0.3 for dust. Conversely, fitting the quasar-data by a minimum-component model yields a sharply defined, slightly closed model with a low dust density ruling out significant pressureless dark matter. The dark-energy component obtains an equation-of-state P = -0.96 epsilon close to that of a Lambda-fluid. Omega_M = 0.3 or a precisely flat spatial geometry are inconsistent with minimum-component models. It is found that quasar and supernova data sets cannot be reconciled with each other via (repulsive ideal fluid+dust+radiation)-world models. Compatibility could be reached by drastic expansion of the parameter space with at least two exotic fluids added to dust and radiation as world constituents. If considering such solutions as far-fetched one has to conclude that the quasar absorption line and the SN-Ia constraints are incompatible.

The Relationship Between the Circular Polarization and the Magnetic Field for Astrophysical Masers with Weak Zeeman Splitting

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: The relationship between the magnetic field and the circular polarization of astrophysical maser radiation due to the Zeeman effect under idealized conditions is investigated when the Zeeman splitting is much smaller than the spectral linebreadth and when radiative saturation is significant. The description of the circular polarization, as well as inferences about the magnetic field from the observations, are clearest when the rate for stimulated emission is much less than the Zeeman splitting. The calculations here are performed in this regime, which is relevant for some (if not most) observations of astrophysical masers. We demonstrate that Stokes-$V$ is proportional to the Zeeman splitting and the fractional linear polarization is independent of the Zeeman splitting when the ratio of the Zeeman splitting to the spectral line breadth is small---less than about 0.1. In contrast to its behavior for ordinary spectral lines, the circular polarization for masers that are at least partially saturated does not decrease with increasing angle between the magnetic field and the line-of-sight until they are nearly perpendicular.

description: Patterns by self-organization in nature have garnered significant interest in a range of disciplines due to their intriguing structures. In the context of the snowdrift game (SDG), which is considered as an anti-coordination game, but the anti-coordination patterns are counterintuitively rare. In the work, we introduce a model called the Two-Agents, Two-Action Reinforcement Learning Evolutionary Game ($2\times 2$ RLEG), and apply it to the SDG on regular lattices. We uncover intriguing phenomena in the form of Anti-Coordinated domains (AC-domains), where different frustration regions are observed and continuous phase transitions at the boundaries are identified. To understand the underlying mechanism, we develop a perturbation theory to analyze the stability of different AC-domains. Our theory accurately partitions the parameter space into non-anti-coordinated, anti-coordinated, and mixed areas, and captures their dependence on the learning parameters. Lastly, abnormal scenarios with a large learning rate and a large discount factor that deviate from the theory are investigated by examining the growth and nucleation of AC-domains. Our work provides insights into the emergence of spatial patterns in nature, and contributes to the development of theory for analysing their structural complexities.

description: We consider lepton-flavor violation in strangeness changing ($|ΔS|=1$) semileptonic $τ$-lepton decays arising from new physics encoded in a standard model effective Lagrangian. Its invariance under the standard model gauge group entails the relevance of other processes which can serve as complementary probes of the new physics operators. We show in particular that for some of them the bounds implied by current data on the rare kaon decays involving a neutrino pair, $K\to πν\barν$, are stronger than the existing limits from direct searches for lepton-flavor-violating semileptonic $τ$ decays. We discuss additional processes affected by the same operators and find that certain leptonic charged-meson decays also provide stricter constraints on a few more of them. Upcoming results of ongoing experiments such as Belle II and NA62 will further test the new physics parameter space.

description: We deal in this work with a class of graphs, namely, the class of distance-regular graphs, in which on the basis of $k$-adjacency operators, the adjacency operator $A$ of a distance-regular graph is identified as a Jacobi matrix. To get so, the set of the $k$-adjacency operators is recognized as a canonical basis in a certain Hilbert space, where the spectrum of the Jacobi matrix coincides with the support of the measure of $A$. The obtained identification permits a deeper spectral analysis of the graph. The finite-dimensional case is addressed by means of the extension theory of nondensely defined, symmetric linear operators.

description: We study the cosmological constraints on the variation of the Newton's constant and on post-Newtonian parameters for simple models of scalar-tensor theory of gravity beyond the extended Jordan-Brans-Dicke theory. We restrict ourselves to an effectively massless scalar field with a potential $V \propto F^2$, where $F(σ)=N_{pl}^2+ξσ^2$ is the coupling to the Ricci scalar considered. We derive the theoretical predictions for cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies and matter power spectra by requiring that the effective gravitational strength at present is compatible with the one measured in a Cavendish-like experiment and by assuming adiabatic initial condition for scalar fluctuations. When comparing these models with $Planck$ 2015 and a compilation of baryonic acoustic oscilation (BAO) data, all these models accomodate a marginalized value for $H_0$ higher than in $Λ$CDM. We find no evidence for a statistically significant deviation from Einstein's general relativity. We find $ξ< 0.064$ ($|ξ| < 0.011$) at 95 % CL for $ξ> 0$ (for $ξ< 0$, $ξ\ne -1/6$). In terms of post-Newtonian parameters, we find $0.995 < γ_{\rm PN} < 1$ and $0.99987 < β_{\rm PN} < 1$ ($0.997 < γ_{\rm PN} < 1$ and $1 < β_{\rm PN} < 1.000011$) for $ξ>0$ (for $ξ< 0$). For the particular case of the conformal coupling, i.e. $ξ=-1/6$, we find constraints on the post-Newtonian parameters of similar precision to those within the Solar System.

description: Economic theory suggests that removing trade barriers increases economic growth and reduces poverty in developing countries. Mixed empirical evidence has made the trade — poverty linkage a controversial topic as there is still no guarantee that trade liberalisation will benefit the poor. Since the effects of trade on the poor are indirect, the empirical analysis of this relationship has become a complex task. Trade reform is observed at the macro level while income distribution and poverty issues are observed and analysed at the micro level. A general equilibrium model based Input-Output or Social Accounting Matrix or a microeconomic model based on household survey data alone is therefore not able to fill this micro-macro gap. In order to examine the impact of trade liberalisation on poverty and income inequality within a developing country context, this study develops a macro-micro framework to fill this gap by linking computable general equilibrium (CGE) and microsimulation models in top-down mode for the Sri Lankan economy. While the CGE model analyses the effects of trade liberalisation, the microsimulation model analyses the impact on poverty at the household level.

description: [Context and Motivation]: The quality of requirements specifications impacts subsequent, dependent software engineering activities. Requirements quality defects like ambiguous statements can result in incomplete or wrong features and even lead to budget overrun or project failure. [Problem]: Attempts at measuring the impact of requirements quality have been held back by the vast amount of interacting factors. Requirements quality research lacks an understanding of which factors are relevant in practice. [Principal Ideas and Results]: We conduct a case study considering data from both interview transcripts and issue reports to identify relevant factors of requirements quality. The results include 17 factors and 11 interaction effects relevant to the case company. [Contribution]: The results contribute empirical evidence that (1) strengthens existing requirements engineering theories and (2) advances industry-relevant requirements quality research.

description: Discovery of the new two-dimensional (2D) Dirac semimetals incorporating both superconductivity and the topological band structure has provided a novel platform for realizing the intriguing applications of Dirac fermions and Majorana quasiparticles, ranging from high-speed quantum devices at the nanoscale to topological quantum computations. In this work, utilizing first-principles calculations and symmetry analysis, we introduce MOH (M= Zr, Hf) as a new topological superconductor with Dirac points close to a Fermi level which are connected with nearly flat edge states as a striking feature of topological semimetals. Our calculations show that ZrOH as a 2D topological semimetal can exhibit superconductivity and is a novel platform for studying the interplay between superconductivity and Dirac states in low-dimensional materials.

description: We have calculated stationary models for accretion disks around super-massive black holes in galactic nuclei. Our models show that below a critical mass flow rate of ~3 10**-3 M_Edd advection will dominate the energy budget while above that rate all the viscously liberated energy is radiated. The radiation efficiency declines steeply below that critical rate. This leads to a clear dichotomy between AGN and normal galaxies which is not so much given by differences in the mass flow rate but by the radiation efficiency. At very low mass accretion rates below 5 10**-5 M_Edd synchrotron emission and Bremsstrahlung dominate the SED, while above 2 10**-4 M Edd the inverse Compton radiation from synchrotron seed photons produce flat to inverted SEDs from the radio to X-rays. Finally we discuss the implications of these findings for AGN duty cycles and the long-term AGN evolution.

 Type locality. Myanmar, Tanintharyi Division, Dawei [= Tavoy].
 Type material examined. SYNTYPES: 1 ♀, ‘ Tenasserim Tavoy [p+h] // Fry Coll. 1905.100. [p] // [female sex mark] // TYPE [p; red label] // coll.

 Additional material examined. THAILAND: TAK PROVINCE: 1 J, Umphang river, 16°07′N 99°00′E, 1000 m, 28.iv.–6.v.1991, V. Kubáň leg. (ZKDC).
 Diagnosis. Small, slender species; body largely brownish black, elytra with pale reddish apices and two narrow, transverse bands (Fig. 82); eyes rather medium-sized; tempora nearly evenly narrowing posteriad; pronotal horn moderately long, slender, with wider apical and smaller lateral lobules on margins; horn crest distinctly raised, evenly lowering towards horn apex, its lateral margins feebly marked by series of somewhat coarser, distinctly spaced lobules / rugules; punctures in basal half of elytra distinct, moderately dense, their margins smooth. Male characters (Umphang, ZKDC). Elytra nearly simple apically, gland opening inconspicuous; legs simple; abdominal sternum VII moderately flattened postero-medially, nearly simple, its posterior margin slightly angled postero-laterally in ventral view; male tergum VIII forming narrow, arched sclerite, evenly rounded posteriorly, rather finely and sparsely setose; aedeagus as figured (Fig. 12).
 Variation. Body length (J ♀) 2.7–2.9 mm. Pronotal horn with 3–5 lobules laterally on each side.
 Distribution. Myanmar (KREKICH- STRASSOLDO 1914), Thailand.
 Remarks. KREKICH- STRASSOLDO (1914) described Notoxus indicus from two specimens, and later (KREKICH- STRASSOLDO 1928) figured its male characters. The examined syntypes bear identical locality label with somewhat dilute handwritten data ‘Tavoy’ [currently Dawei; not Java, see comments by TELNOV (2007) in the differential diagnosis of N. ales Telnov, 2007], which is the capital of the Tanintharyi Region in southern Myanmar. The male syntype is dissected, probably by Krekich-Strassoldo (see above), and the aedeagus is probably mounted in Canada balsam and stored separately in special wooden boxes for slides in the NHMW. However, it is difficult to find there, because the specimen lacks any slide number. The additionally examined specimen originates from southwestern Thailand and fully agrees with the type.

description: This paper examines the determinants of climate related disasters and attempts to estimate the presence of adaptive capacity in terms of per capita income and population density elasticities. We find evidence of adaptive capacity in a “weak” form both in terms of income and population density elasticities over our entire sample. That is, damages are in fact increasing with income and population, but less than proportionally. There is also evidence of countries improving their adaptive capacity over the long run, but of maladaptation occurring in the short run. Repeating the analysis splitting the sample by per-capita income levels, we find that higher income countries show adaptive capacity in a “strong form”, i.e. damages decrease with GDP, while lower income countries highlight exactly the opposite behavior. Finally, using Granger causality tests for panel data, we find evidence of increase in GDP per capita Granger causing climate related damages for lower income countries, but not in higher income countries.

description: In the year 1983/84, the Commonwealth Government decided to redevelop a RAAF airstrip at Tindal into a northern air base in NT. It would replace RAAF Base Darwin that was situated close to the coast and susceptible to both cyclonic weather and any 'enemy' sneak raid attacks. Tindal is located about fifteen kilometres south from Katherine on the Stuart Highway. A social survey conducted in the second half of 1983 formed the basis for SIA predictions that appeared in the EIS. These encompassed social impacts that would occur during the construction phase and later throughout the operational phase. Included among the predicted impacts on local residents was aircraft noise from military aircraft flying overhead and this was confirmed by a social survey conducted in 1994. Other predictions included the integration of a RAAF population with its own set of values into a conservative Katherine community. The social survey of 1994 asks the same type of questions as asked in 1983, and the two sets of answers are compared over time. A subsequent longitudinal analysis follows the structural development of the Katherine population/community. A group of 1994 respondents was found to have resided in Katherine in 1983 and cohort by cohort their state of affairs discovered. As Katherine developed into a regional centre the views of respondents toward the RAAF became more accepting and residual social impacts from the redevelopment phase were difficult to find.

description: We briefly report on an on-going spectroscopic study of hard X-ray sources selected serendipitously in 12 XMM-Newton fields. Results for the analysis of the 41 sources from the first seven EPIC observations have been discussed in a previous paper (Piconcelli et al. 2002, Paper I) where we found an absolute fraction of X-ray absorbed sources (~30%) lower than expected (~50%) by the predictions of popular CXB synthesis models at F(2-10)~5x10**(-14) erg cm**-2 s**-1. We present here the preliminary results concerning the whole sample including five new deeper XMM-Newton measurements increasing the sample to 90 sources. Even if still on-going, the present study appears to confirm and extend down to F(2-10)~10**(-14) erg cm**-2 s**-1 the above mismatch between observational data and theoretical expectations regarding the fraction of absorbed sources. Furthermore the sample average spectral index of 1.5-1.6 is steeper than the CXB slope indicating that the majority of obscured sources making the bulk of the CXB resides at even lower hard X-ray fluxes.

description: We consider the variational problem associated with the Freidlin--Wentzell Large Deviation Principle (LDP) for the Stochastic Heat Equation (SHE). For a general class of initial-terminal conditions, we show that a minimizer of this variational problem exists, and any minimizer solves a system of imaginary-time Nonlinear Schrödinger equations. This system is integrable. Utilizing the integrability, we prove that the formulas from the physics work Krajenbrink and Le Doussal (2021) hold for every minimizer of the variational problem. As an application, we consider the Freidlin--Wentzell LDP for the SHE with the delta initial condition. Under a technical assumption on the poles of the reflection coefficients, we prove the explicit expression for the one-point rate function that was predicted in the physics works Le Doussal, Majumdar, Rosso, and Schehr (2016) and Krajenbrink and Le Doussal (2021). Under the same assumption, we give detailed pointwise estimates of the most probable shape in the upper-tail limit.

description: The breaking of parity and time-reversal symmetry in two-dimensional Fermi liquids gives rise to non-dissipative transport features characterized by the Hall viscosity. In magnetic fields, the Hall viscous force directly competes with the Lorentz force, since both mechanisms contribute to the Hall voltage. In this work, we present a channel geometry that allows us to uniquely distinguish these two contributions and derive, for the first time, their functional dependency on all external parameters. We show that the ratio of the Hall viscous to the Lorentz force contribution is negative and that its modulus decreases with increasing width, slip-length and carrier density, while it increases with the electron-electron mean free path of our channel. In typical materials such as GaAs the Hall viscous contribution can dominate the Lorentz signal up to a few tens of millitesla until the total Hall voltage vanishes and subsequently is overcome by the Lorentz contribution. Moreover, we prove that the total Hall electric field is parabolic due to Lorentz effects, whereas the offset of this parabola is characterized by the Hall viscosity. Hence, our results pave the way to measure and identify the Hall viscosity via both global and local voltage measurements.

 Type locality. South Vietnam, Nam Cat Tien National Park.
 Type material. HOLOTYPE: J, ‘S VIETNAM, 1.– 15.5.1994 Nam. Cat. Tien Nat. park P. Pacholátko & L. Dembický leg.’ (NMPC). PARATYPES: 2 JJ 1 ♀, same data as holotype (ZKDC).
  Description. Male  (holotype). Body length 2.7 mm. Identical with N. iuvenis sp. nov. in nearly all external and male characters (see above), differing only by somewhat finer and sparser punctation of pronotal disc, by the protibiae moderately sinuous on the inner side in males, and by the aedeagus (Fig. 15).

description: Assuming an adiabatic evolution of a gamma-ray burst (GRB) fireball interacting with an external medium, we calculate the hydrodynamics of the fireball with energy injection from a strongly magnetic millisecond pulsar through magnetic dipole radiation, and obtain the light curve of the optical afterglow from the fireball by synchrotron radiation. Results are given both for a homogeneous external medium and for a wind ejected by GRB progenitor. Our calculations are also available in both ultra-relativistic and non-relativistic phases. Furthermore, the observed R-band light curve of GRB{000301C} can be well fitted in our model, which might provide a probe of the properties of GRB progenitors.

description: Ultraviolet nanosecond laser annealing (UV-NLA) proves to be an important technique, particularly when tightly controlled heating and melting are necessary. In the realm of semiconductor technologies, the significance of nanosecond laser annealing (NLA) grows in tandem with the escalating intricacy of integration schemes in nano-scaled devices. Silicon-germanium alloys have been studied for decades for their compatibility with silicon devices. Indeed, they enable the manipulation of properties like strain, carrier mobilities and bandgap. In this framework, they can for instance boost the performances of p-type MOSFETs but also enable near infra-red absorption and emission for applications in photo-detection and photonics. Laser melting on such type of layers, however results, up to now, in the development of extended defects and poor control over layer morphology and homogeneity. In our study, we investigate the laser melting of ~700 nm thick relaxed silicon-germanium samples coated with SiO2 nano-arrays, observing the resulting material to maintain an unaltered lattice. We found the geometrical parameters of the silicon oxide having an impact on the thermal budget samples see, influencing melt threshold, melt depth and germanium distribution.

description: As increasingly precise information about the spectrum of the cosmic microwave background fluctuations is gathered with balloon and satellite experiments, interest has grown in foreground sources of opacity affecting these observations. One potentially important source is electron scattering produced by a post-recombination luminosity source, which would significantly attenuate the higher harmonics in the spectrum. If such an ionization source exists, then it would also heat the universe, hence increasing the Jeans mass and suppressing early gravitational structure formation. Here we consider the effects of such heating. We concentrate on one type of ionization source: luminosity generated by accretion onto primordial compact objects. We show that if such objects generate enough luminosity to affect the CMB power spectrum, then they would produce enough heat to prevent the formation of 1 sigma collapsed objects until redshifts of about 5, significantly less than the redshift at which baryonic collapse could otherwise occur. Such processes would leave signatures detectable by upcoming instruments such as NGST, SIRTF, and SWIFT.
