title: Llanelly Parish, Breconshire : The Impact Of The Iron Industry On A Rural Welsh Parish, 1790-1890.
Creators: name: Eynon, Gavin Thomas
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2000

description: Perhaps understandably, most of the research undertaken into the growth of the South Wales coal and iron industries has concentrated on the major production areas such as Merthyr Tydfil. Llanelly parish, Breconshire, is situated to the north-east, at the very extremity of this industrial area, and has been largely ignored by historians. Yet, starting in the late eighteenth century, Llanelly parish underwent a rapid development owing to the expansion of the local iron industry, only for it to decline from around the middle of the nineteenth century. This study examines the demographic, economic, and social changes which the iron industry brought to this previously agricultural area, and the extent to which communities on the margin of the ironbelt were caught up in the industrial conflicts of the time. The thesis also investigates how this relatively small industrial settlement differed, if at all, from the larger industrial centres, and attempts to assess the consequences of the failure of the local ironworks in mid-century, by comparing the experiences of communities in the parish with those communities which continued to grow. Internal to the parish, the thesis also proffers reasons as to why some settlements never developed into proper townships, whereas others, most notably the town of Brynmawr, made that transition successfully.

description: This article presents an original methodology for the prediction of steady turbulent aerodynamic fields. Due to the important computational cost of high-fidelity aerodynamic simulations, a surrogate model is employed to cope with the significant variations of several inflow conditions. Specifically, the Local Decomposition Method presented in this paper has been derived to capture nonlinear behaviors resulting from the presence of continuous and discontinuous signals. A combination of unsupervised and supervised learning algorithms is coupled with a physical criterion. It decomposes automatically the input parameter space, from a limited number of high-fidelity simulations, into subspaces. These latter correspond to different flow regimes. A measure of entropy identifies the subspace with the expected strongest non-linear behavior allowing to perform an active resampling on this low-dimensional structure. Local reduced-order models are built on each subspace using Proper Orthogonal Decomposition coupled with a multivariate interpolation tool. The methodology is assessed on the turbulent two-dimensional flow around the RAE2822 transonic airfoil. It exhibits a significant improvement in term of prediction accuracy for the Local Decomposition Method compared with the classical method of surrogate modeling for cases with different flow regimes.

description: The use of information systems using mobile phone support is important in agriculture in terms of generating efficiencies in production and improving farmers' incomes. In Burkina Faso, despite the increasing spread of a wide variety of agricultural information via mobile phones since the 2000s, few farmers have adopted such an electronic information system. This research aims to empirically analyse the factors that influence the awareness and use of electronic information systems by producers. Primary data were collected from a sample of 210 grain producers and analysed using descriptive statistics and a logit sequential model. Descriptive statistics indicated that farmers interviewed had an unmet need for timely access to relevant, reliable, continuously available, and unfragmented information. The econometric results suggest that a high number of years of schooling for the head of household, regular contact with extension agents and technical assistance from market information systems (MIS) management structures influence awareness of electronic information systems. With regard to the actual use of the services offered by these information systems, the presence of educated members in the household, the size of the farm, the perceived relevance of non-commercial benefits derived from the information disseminated and access to agricultural financing appear as significant determinants. These results have required more targeted public policies.

Dazu müssen Lehrkräfte der KMK zufolge „digitale Medien in ihrem jeweiligen Fachunterricht professionell und didaktisch sinnvoll nutzen sowie gemäß dem Bildungs- und Erziehungsauftrag inhaltlich reflektieren können.“ Die Schülerinnen und Schüler sollen lernen, über die eigene Mediennutzung kritisch zu reflektieren sowie Medien sozial verantwortlich und gewinnbringend zu nutzen. Dies hat auch Konsequenzen für die Lehrkräftebildung: „[I]n der fachspezifischen Lehrkräftebildung [ist] für alle Lehrämter die Entwicklung entsprechender Kompetenzen verbindlich festzulegen.“ (KMK 2016, S. 25) Grundschullehrkräfte spielen bei der Umsetzung digitalisierungsbezogener Inhalte in der Grundschule eine zentrale Rolle. Dennoch sind sie in der Regel noch nicht für die Gestaltung entsprechenden Unterrichts ausgebildet. Zwar existieren in der Forschung vielfältige Erkenntnisse über Lehrkräfte bezüglich Medien(-bildung) (zum Beispiel Drossel u. a. 2019), jedoch bleiben Vorstellungen und Einstellungen zu informatischer Bildung in der Grundschule bislang unbearbeitet (vgl.

description: We report the identification of the unusual emission-line stellar-like object in the nearby low-metallicity (Z ~ 0.1Zsun) dwarf galaxy NGC 4068. Our observations performed with long-slit spectrograph and Fabry-Perot interferometer demonstrate high velocity dispersion in Ha line, presence of HeII4686A line and peculiarly low [SII]/[NII] fluxes ratio for this object. From observational data, we derived that the object represents a single star of high bolometric luminosity L~1.5*10^6 Lsun surrounded by an expanding nebula with kinematical age of t ~ 0.5Myr. The nebula exhibits significant nitrogen overabundance (log(N/O) ~ -0.05, that is by ~1.4dex higher than expected for low-metallicity galaxies). We suggested that this is a massive blue supergiant (BSG) or Wolf-Rayet (WR) star surrounded by its ejecta interacting with the interstellar medium. We calculated the models of the nebula using CLOUDY photoionization code, applying CMFGEN-modelled BSG and WR stars as ionisation sources. We found a best agreement between the modelled and observed spectra for the model assuming ionization by low-metallicity WR star of mass M*~80Msun, ionizing the nebula through the strong wind and enriching the interstellar medium with nitrogen.

description: We present a direct numerical simulation (DNS) study of pseudo-turbulence in buoyancy driven bubbly flows for a range of Reynolds ($\Rey$) and Atwood ($\At$) numbers. We study the probability distribution function of the horizontal and vertical liquid velocity fluctuations and find them to be in quantitative agreement with the experiments. The energy spectrum shows the $k^{-3}$ scaling at high $\Rey$ and becomes steeper on reducing the $\Rey$. To investigate the spectral transfers in the flow, we derive the scale-by-scale energy budget equation. Our analysis shows that, for scales smaller than the bubble diameter, the net production because of the surface tension and the kinetic energy flux balances viscous dissipation to give the $k^{-3}$ scaling of the energy spectrum for both low and high $\At$.

description: The special theory of relativity has fundamentally changed our views of space and time. The relativity of simultaneity in particular, and the theory of relativity as a whole, still presents significant difficulty for beginners in the theory. The difficulty stems from the fact that the usual presentation of special relativity is based on Newtonian concepts, which are relativized and change their meaning in the course of the presentation. A better pedagogical practice, in our opinion, would be to base the presentation from the very beginning on the four-dimensional formulation of Minkowski and thus remove from the theory all the paradoxical connotations that invariably accompany the usual presentation of special relativity.

Localization length in Dorokhov's microscopic model of multichannel wires

description: We derive exact quantum expressions for the localization length $L_c$ for weak disorder in two- and three chain tight-binding systems coupled by random nearest-neighbour interchain hopping terms and including random energies of the atomic sites. These quasi-1D systems are the two- and three channel versions of Dorokhov's model of localization in a wire of $N$ periodically arranged atomic chains. We find that $L^{-1}_c=N.ξ^{-1}$ for the considered systems with $N=(1,2,3)$, where $ξ$ is Thouless' quantum expression for the inverse localization length in a single 1D Anderson chain, for weak disorder. The inverse localization length is defined from the exponential decay of the two-probe Landauer conductance, which is determined from an earlier transfer matrix solution of the Schrödinger equation in a Bloch basis. Our exact expressions above differ qualitatively from Dorokhov's localization length identified as the length scaling parameter in his scaling description of the distribution of the participation ratio. For N=3 we also discuss the case where the coupled chains are arranged on a strip rather than periodically on a tube. From the transfer matrix treatment we also obtain reflection coefficients matrices which allow us to find mean free paths and to discuss their relation to localization lengths in the two- and three channel systems.

description: The efficiency of energy transfer in ultrafast electronic relaxation of molecules depends strongly on the complex interplay between electronic and nuclear motion. In this study we use wavelength-selected XUV pulses to induce relaxation dynamics of highly excited cationic states of naphthalene. Surprisingly, the observed relaxation lifetimes increase with the cationic excitation energy. We propose that this is a manifestation of a quantum mechanical population trapping that leads to delayed relaxation of molecules in the regions with a high density of excited states.

description: We experimentally study magnetization reversal curves for MnTe single crystals, which is the altermagnetic candidate. Above 85~K temperature, we confirm the antiferromagnetic behavior of magnetization $M$, which is known for $α$--MnTe. Below 85~K, we observe anomalous low-field magnetization behavior, which is accompanied by the sophisticated $M(α)$ angle dependence with beating pattern as the interplay between $M(α)$ maxima and minima: in low fields, $M(α)$ shows ferromagnetic-like 180$^\circ$ periodicity, while at high magnetic fields, the periodicity is changed to the 90$^\circ$ one. This angle dependence is the most striking result of our experiment, while it can not be expected for standard magnetic systems. In contrast, in altermagnets, symmetry allows ferromagnetic behavior only due to the spin-orbit coupling. Thus, we claim that our experiment shows the effect of weak spin-orbit coupling in MnTe, with crossover from relativistic to non-relativistic net magnetization, and, therefore, we experimentally confirm altermagnetism in MnTe.
Measuring periods in aperiodic light curves -- Applying the GPS method to infer rotation periods of solar-like stars

description: Light curves of solar-like stars are known to show highly irregular variability. As a consequence, standard frequency analysis methods often fail to detect the correct rotation period. Recently, Shapiro et al. (2020) showed that the periods of such stars could still be measured by considering the Gradient of the Power Spectrum (GPS) instead of the power spectrum itself. In this study, the GPS method is applied to model light curves of solar-like stars covering all possible inclination angles and a large range of metallicities and observational noise levels. The model parameters are chosen such that they resemble those of many stars in the Kepler field. We show that the GPS method is able to detect the correct rotation period in 40% of all considered cases, which is more than ten times higher than the detection rate of standard techniques. Thus, we conclude that the GPS method is ideally suited to measure periods of those Kepler stars lacking such a measurement so far. We also show that the GPS method is significantly superior to auto-correlation methods when starspot lifetimes are shorter than a few rotation periods. GPS begins to yield rotation periods that are too short when dominant spot lifetimes are shorter than one rotation period. We conclude that new methods are generally needed to reliably detect rotation periods from sufficiently aperiodic time series -- these periods will otherwise remain undetected.

description: Given the extreme heterogeneity of actors and groups participating in terrorist actions, investigating and assessing their characteristics can be important to extract relevant information and enhance the knowledge on their behaviors. The present work will seek to achieve this goal via a complex networks approach. This approach will allow finding latent clusters of similar terror groups using information on their operational characteristics. Specifically, using open access data of terrorist attacks occurred worldwide from 1997 to 2016, we build a multi-partite network that includes terrorist groups and related information on tactics, weapons, targets, active regions. We propose a novel algorithm for cluster formation that expands our earlier work that solely used Gower's coefficient of similarity via the application of Von Neumann entropy for mode-weighting. This novel approach is compared with our previous Gower-based method and a heuristic clustering technique that only focuses on groups' ideologies. The comparative analysis demonstrates that the entropy-based approach tends to reliably reflect the structure of the data that naturally emerges from the baseline Gower-based method. Additionally, it provides interesting results in terms of behavioral and ideological characteristics of terrorist groups. We furthermore show that the ideology-based procedure tends to distort or hide existing patterns. Among the main statistical results, our work reveals that groups belonging to opposite ideologies can share very common behaviors and that Islamist/jihadist groups hold peculiar behavioral characteristics with respect to the others. Limitations and potential work directions are also discussed, introducing the idea of a dynamic entropy-based framework.

Graph-accelerated non-intrusive polynomial chaos expansion using partially tensor-structured quadrature rules for uncertainty quantification

description: Recently, the graph-accelerated non-intrusive polynomial chaos (NIPC) method has been proposed for solving uncertainty quantification (UQ) problems. This method leverages the full-grid integration-based NIPC method to address UQ problems while employing the computational graph transformation approach, AMTC, to accelerate the tensor-grid evaluations. This method exhibits remarkable efficacy on a broad range of low-dimensional (three dimensions or less) UQ problems featuring multidisciplinary models. However, it often does not scale well with problem dimensions due to the exponential increase in the number of quadrature points when using the full-grid quadrature rule. To expand the applicability of this method to a broader range of UQ problems, this paper introduces a new framework for generating a tailored, partially tensor-structured quadrature rule to use with the graph-accelerated NIPC method. This quadrature rule, generated through the designed quadrature approach, possesses a tensor structure that is tailored for the computational model. The selection of the tensor structure is guided by an analysis of the computational graph, ensuring that the quadrature rule effectively capitalizes on the sparsity within the computational graph when paired with the AMTC method. This method has been tested on one 4D and one 6D UQ problem, both originating from aircraft design scenarios and featuring multidisciplinary models. Numerical results show that, when using with graph-accelerated NIPC method, our approach generates a partially tensor-structured quadrature rule that outperforms the full-grid Gauss quadrature and the designed quadrature methods (more than 40% reduction in computational costs) in both of the test problems.

description: We analyzed the archival data of the $^{13}\mathrm{CO}$ and $\mathrm{C}^{18}\mathrm{O}$ $J=3-2$ emission lines in the protoplanetary disk around MWC 758 obtained with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array to discuss possible planet-disk interaction and non-Keplerian motion in the disk. We performed fitting of a Keplerian disk model to the observational data and measured the velocity deviations from the Keplerian rotation. We found significant velocity deviations around the inner cavity in the MWC 758 disk. We examined several possibilities that may cause the velocity deviations, such as pressure gradient, height of the emitting layer, infall motion, inner warp, and eccentricity in the disk. We found that the combination of an eccentric orbital motion with eccentricity of $0.1\pm0.04$ at the radius of the inner cavity and an infalling flow best explains the observed velocity deviations. Our kinematically constrained eccentricity of the gas orbital motion close to the inner cavity is consistent with the eccentricity of the dust ring around the inner cavity measured in the submillimeter continuum emission. Our results hint at strong dust-gas coupling around the inner cavity and presence of a gas giant planet inside the inner cavity in the MWC 758 disk.

description: Although coronal mass ejections (CMEs) resembling flux ropes generally expand self-similarly, deformations along their fronts have been reported in observations and simulations. We present evidence of one CME becoming deformed after a period of self-similarly expansion in the corona. The event was observed by multiple white-light imagers on January 20-22, 2021. The change in shape is evident in observations from the heliospheric imagers from the Wide-Field Imager for Solar Probe Plus (WISPR), which observe this CME for $\sim$ 44 hours. We reconstruct the CME using forward-fitting models. In the first hours, observations are consistent with a self-similar expansion but later on the front flattens forming a dimple. Our interpretation is that the CME becomes deformed at $\sim0.1\ au$ due to differences in the background solar wind speeds. The CME expands more at higher latitudes, where the background solar wind is faster. We consider other possible causes for deformations, such as loss of coherence and slow-mode shocks. The CME deformation seems to cause a time-of-arrival error of 16 hours at $\sim 0.5\ au$. The deformation is clear only in the WISPR observations and, it thus, would have been missed by 1~AU coronagraphs. Such deformations may help explain the time-of-arrival errors in events where only coronagraph observations are available.

description: Multispectral optical imaging is becoming a key tool in the operating room. Recent research has shown that machine learning algorithms can be used to convert pixel-wise reflectance measurements to tissue parameters, such as oxygenation. However, the accuracy of these algorithms can only be guaranteed if the spectra acquired during surgery match the ones seen during training. It is therefore of great interest to detect so-called out of distribution (OoD) spectra to prevent the algorithm from presenting spurious results. In this paper we present an information theory based approach to OoD detection based on the widely applicable information criterion (WAIC). Our work builds upon recent methodology related to invertible neural networks (INN). Specifically, we make use of an ensemble of INNs as we need their tractable Jacobians in order to compute the WAIC. Comprehensive experiments with in silico, and in vivo multispectral imaging data indicate that our approach is well-suited for OoD detection. Our method could thus be an important step towards reliable functional imaging in the operating room.

description: Unraveling the cosmological Li problem - the discrepancy between Big Bang nucleosynthesis predictions and observed values in the Spite plateau - requires a comprehensive exploration of stellar evolution. In this study, we utilized the code STAREVOL to compute the stellar evolution models with atomic diffusion, rotation-induced processes, parametric turbulence, and additional viscosity. We calibrated the models to fit the abundance of Li in Population II stars selected from the GALAH DR3 spectroscopic survey and literature compilation based on their chemical composition. The calibration reveals the significance of parametric turbulence in counteracting atomic diffusion effects. These models predict the constancy of the Spite plateau as a function of $T_\mathrm{eff}$ and [Fe/H] which agrees with the observational trend found after a detailed selection of dwarf non-peculiar stars. Other dwarfs that lie below the Spite plateau are either CEMP or have other types of chemical peculiarities, reinforcing the notion of their environmental origin. The Li abundance near the Spite plateau of the most Fe-deficient star, J0023+0307, which is not CEMP, provides additional evidence for the stellar depletion solution of the Li cosmological problem. Also, our models predict a transition from Li constancy at low metallicities to dispersion at high metallicities which is seen in observations. In addition, we extend our analysis to include a comparison with observational data from the globular cluster NGC 6752, showcasing excellent agreement between model predictions and Li and Mg trends in post-turnoff stars. This opens avenues for refining the estimates of initial Li abundance in metal-rich globular clusters which would help to constrain Li evolution in the Milky Way.

title: ARABINOXYLAN STRUCTURAL PROFILING OF COOL-SEASON PASTURE GRASSES VIA HIGH-PERFORMANCE ANION-EXCHANGE CHROMATOGRAPHY WITH PULSED AMPEROMETRIC DETECTION (HPAEC-PAD) ANALYSIS OF ENDOXYLANASE DIGESTS

description: Arabinoxylan (AX) is a major structural polysaccharide found in the cell walls of monocots such as cereal grains and pasture grasses. The variety of AX structural components and substitution patterns contribute to AX structural diversity between different monocot species as well as plant tissues.

The rumen is the first digestion site of masticated food material in cattle and provides 70% of energy to host through fermentation of forage. There are many species of pasture grasses that act as a forage source. Differences in AX structure found in these pasture grasses may impact rumen microbial fermentation. Understanding the AX structure of different pasture grasses can elucidate how different AX structures can impact rumen microbial fermentation.

The objectives of this research were to develop a high-performance anion-exchange chromatography (HPAEC-PAD) method to rapidly quantify AX oligosaccharides (or AXOS) released via endoxylanase digestion and characterize the AX structure in four cool-season pasture grasses from central KY (timothy, perennial rye, tall fescue, and bluegrass). Quantification of AXOS enabled the comparison of AX structural profiles between grass materials.

An HPAEC-PAD method was developed and validated for xylanase-released AXOS using analytical parameters concentration range (CR), limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantification (LOQ), retention time (tR HPAEC), and relative response factor (RRF). Perennial rye tended to have greater amounts of AXOS compared to the other pasture grasses. 3X was released by endoxylanase in greatest amounts compared to other AXOS (significant difference varies). In addition, the cell wall monosaccharide and ester-linked hydroxycinnamic acid (HCA) contents were profiled in each cool-season pasture grass.

description: The band structure of the Lamé equation, viewed as a one-dimensional Schrödinger equation with a periodic potential, is studied. At integer values of the degree parameter l, the dispersion relation is reduced to the l=1 dispersion relation, and a previously published l=2 dispersion relation is shown to be partially incorrect. The Hermite-Krichever Ansatz, which expresses Lamé equation solutions in terms of l=1 solutions, is the chief tool. It is based on a projection from a genus-l hyperelliptic curve, which parametrizes solutions, to an elliptic curve. A general formula for this covering is derived, and is used to reduce certain hyperelliptic integrals to elliptic ones. Degeneracies between band edges, which can occur if the Lamé equation parameters take complex values, are investigated. If the Lamé equation is viewed as a differential equation on an elliptic curve, a formula is conjectured for the number of points in elliptic moduli space (elliptic curve parameter space) at which degeneracies occur. Tables of spectral polynomials and Lamé polynomials, i.e., band edge solutions, are given. A table in the older literature is corrected.

description: This thesis describes my work in constructing a Y AC framework map and subsequent bacterial clone contig of human chromosome 22ql3.3. The region was spanned by 5 conrigs containing 1986 bacterial clones, 84 minimal overlapping clones were sequenced. The integration of landmark content data allowed the ordering of contigs.

The 4.3 Mb sequence map was used to assemble a transcript map across 22ql3.3. The sequence allowed the annotation of 47 genes and 6 pseudogenes. In addition, the genes’ environment was studied. Assessment of the repeat content showed that nearly 30 percent was repetitive. A strong inverse correlation was observed between Line 1 density and GC content. No correlation was observed for Alu density and GC content. The gene density was shown to increase with higher GC content. Assessment of splice sites showed strong conservation of splice donor and acceptor sites. The protein products were characterised by an integrated computational approach, the results were graphically viewable using the peptide display of ACeDB.

 For a 140 kb region, containing 9 genes, at the telomeric end of 22ql3.3 a mouse comparative map was constructed and a single clone sequenced. The comparison of the mouse and human sequence showed complete conservation of gene order and content. Strong conservation was observed of splice sites and protein coding regions. The utility of comparative sequencing was shown by identification of a previously missed gene.

 Redundant sequencing of this same region also allowed the identification of 220 candidate variations. Of these 12 were verified by PCR-RFLP and all were shown to be polymorphic. Extrapolation of this data suggests that most of the identified variations are likely to be polymorphic. As expected a strong bias was observed towards transversions, but the data also showed a negative bias with regard to A to T or T to A changes.

description: Following the success of the British Penny-Magazine (1832), illustrated knowledge journals were adopted and commercialized in many parts of Europe. This article explores the German Pfennig-Magazin für Verbreitung gemeinnütziger Kenntnisse as a format of knowledge production and its place in the context of early social research. It first outlines the transregional history of the illustrated knowledge journal and examines the Pfennig-Magazin as a medium between reference work and entertaining periodical. In a second step, the article looks at how the Pfennig-Magazin constructs knowledge about society and culture, and thereby adopts traditions of encyclopedic, moralistic and ethnographic knowledge production. I will demonstrate that the Pfennig-Magazin, rather than taking part in the development of pre-disciplinary social research, must be considered as an intermediary of a previously existing knowledge base. The significance of the popular knowledge magazine for to the dissemination of knowledge about society (and the resulting political impact), as well as for the systematization of sociological and ethnographic research, is yet to be determined.

description: The overall goal of our paper is to create a framework for studying the impact of national investment into research and extension in China and to measure the impact that such investments have had on creating productivity-increasing technology. Our purpose is to provide more convincing measures of the impacts of crop-specific investment in national research programs and the import of materials from the CG system. Specifically, we use a new measure of seed technology to track the changes in the quantity and quality of genetic resources in China's major rice producing provinces from 1982 to 1995. We find that new technology has provided almost all of the growth of China's TFP of rice. The International Rice Research Institute has supplied an important part of China's rice germplasm and positively contributed to the health of China's rice sector.
Decolonizing and reclaiming Tsilhqotin identity through story-telling

description: The purpose of this major paper is to create an instructional resource for teachers that will help encourage students to reclaim their Tsilhqotin/Chilcotin identity through stories in the Tsilhqotin/Chilcotin language. It is intended to help the teachers better understand their Tsilhqotin identity and become more aware of their surroundings, heritage and land base thus providing a greater opportunity for successful teaching especially in regard to meeting the needs of Tsilhqotin students. This resource allows the teacher to have a greater understanding of students and the territories that they are from and in doing so bring this knowledge and awareness into the classroom. A teacher who knows a bit about the background and is able to say a few words in the Tsilhqotin/Chilcotin language reflects an open-­‐minded and effective educator. The teacher provides a learning community with greater comfort and trust, which, ultimately will enhance student’s performance and promote a family oriented environment.

description: An organosuperbase (N,N-dimethylbiguanide) immobilized on mesoporous and magnetically separable silica supports, was found for the first time, to act as a highly-stable, scalable and efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the Henry reaction under mild and neutral condition. Several factors such as catalyst amount, solvent and reaction time concerning the reactivity were also discussed. The procedure constitutes the first immobilized biguanide promotion of selective synthesis of β-nitroalcoholswithout addition of stoichiometric amount of any base and showed a broad substrate scope. The uniqueness of this catalyst lay in its cleanness, cost-effectiveness, ease in removal at the end of reaction, and chemoselective formation of a wide range of β-nitroalcohols. These materials can be easily converted to other useful synthetic intermediates which many of them have been exemplified in synthetic organic chemistry and pharmaceutical industry.

description: We calculate the thermal rate of real-photon production in the quark-gluon plasma at a temperature of $T=254$ MeV using lattice QCD. The calculation is based on the difference between the spatially transverse and longitudinal parts of the polarization tensor, which has the advantage of falling off rapidly at large frequencies. We obtain this linear combination in the time-momentum representation from lattice QCD with two flavors of quarks in the continuum limit with a precision of about two parts per mille. Applying a theoretically motivated fit ansatz for the associated spectral function, we obtain values for the photon rate that are in line with QCD weak-coupling calculations; for photon momenta $ 1.0\leq k[{\rm GeV}]\leq 1.4$, our non-perturbative results constrain the rate to be no larger than twice the weak-coupling prediction. We also provide a physics interpretation of the electromagnetic spectral functions valid for all frequencies and momenta.

description: Axisymmetric disks of high eccentricity, low mass bodies on near-Keplerian orbits are unstable to an out-of-plane buckling. This "inclination instability" exponentially grows the orbital inclinations, raises perihelia distances and clusters in argument of perihelion. Here we examine the instability in a massive primordial scattered disk including the orbit-averaged gravitational influence of the giant planets. We show that differential apsidal precession induced by the giant planets will suppress the inclination instability unless the primordial mass is $\gtrsim 20$ Earth masses. We also show that the instability should produce a "perihelion gap" at semi-major axes of hundreds of AU, as the orbits of the remnant population are more likely to have extremely large perihelion distances ($\mathcal{O}(100~\rm{AU})$) than intermediate values.
