description: Glycosylation is important for cellular function, homeostasis, and sustenance of species. There is enough evidence to prove that glycans are at the crossroads of species-specific evolution and host pathogen co-evolution. Loss of Nglycolylneuraminic acid (NeuGc) in humans, New World monkeys, certain bats and other vertebrates, or loss of alpha Galactose [...] epitopes only in hominids and Old-World monkeys are just two examples for significant glycan based evolutionary events. On the other hand, pandemics such as Influenza, SARS-CoV-1, MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 have emerged from animal hosts (such as wild birds or bats) that are genetically distant to humans. A pathogen with zoonotic and possible pandemic potential must cross a lot of barriers such as interspecies spill over or effective transmission before it starts to rapidly infect humans. "Phyloglycomics" refers to the understanding of the evolutionary relationship of species-specific glycosylation by systematically curating species and tissue/body fluid specific glycomes. During my PhD I have established a platform to evaluate and understand vertebrate glycans, which are the products of glycosyltransferases/glycosidases. Phyloglycomics seeks to understand the speciesspecific glycan features, which are represent the concerted activity of glycosyltransferases and glycosidases. Such a knowledge base is crucial in our quest to begin to understand the complex network of host-pathogen coevolution and infection patterns that undoubtedly contributes to the ability of zoonotic diseases to evolve and cross species boundaries.

description: The physical basis of chaos in the solar system is now better understood: in all cases investigated so far, chaotic orbits result from overlapping resonances. Perhaps the clearest examples are found in the asteroid belt. Overlapping resonances account for its Kirkwood gaps and were used to predict and find evidence for very narrow gaps in the outer belt. Further afield, about one new ``short-period'' comet is discovered each year. They are believed to come from the ``Kuiper Belt'' (at 40 AU or more) via chaotic orbits produced by mean-motion and secular resonances with Neptune. Finally, the planetary system itself is not immune from chaos. In the inner solar system, overlapping secular resonances have been identified as the possible source of chaos. For example, Mercury, in 10^{12} years, may suffer a close encounter with Venus or plunge into the Sun. In the outer solar system, three-body resonances have been identified as a source of chaos, but on an even longer time scale of 10^9 times the age of the solar system. On the human time scale, the planets do follow their orbits in a stately procession, and we can predict their trajectories for hundreds of thousands of years. That is because the mavericks, with shorter instability times, have long since been ejected. The solar system is not stable; it is just old!

description: We present a high-angular-resolution molecular line and millimeter continuum study of the massive star formation site IRAS 05358+3543. The most remarkable feature is a highly collimated (collimation factor ~10) and massive (>10 M_sun) bipolar outflow of 1 pc length, which is part of a quadrupolar outflow system. The three observed molecular outflows forming the IRAS 05358+3543 outflow system resemble, in structure and collimation, those typical of low-mass star-forming regions. They might therefore, just like low-mass outflows, be explained by shock entrainment models of jets. We estimate a mass accretion rate of 10^{-4) M_sun/yr, sufficient to overcome the radiative pressure of the central object and to build up a massive star, lending further support to the hypothesis that massive star formation occurs similarly to low-mass star formation, only with higher accretion rates and energetics.

description: The post-inflationary breaking of Peccei-Quinn (PQ) symmetry can lead to the cosmic domain wall catastrophe. In this Letter we show how to avoid domain walls implementing the Instanton Interference Effect (IIE) with a new interaction which itself breaks PQ symmetry and confines at an energy scale smaller than $Λ_{QCD}$. We give a general description of the mechanism and consider its cosmological implications and constraints within a minimal model. Contrary to other mechanisms we do not require an inverse phase transition neither fine-tuned bias terms. Incidentally, the mechanism leads to the introduction of new self-interacting dark matter candidates and the possibility of producing gravitational waves in the frequency range of SKA. Unless a fine-tuned hidden sector is introduced, the mechanism predicts a QCD axion in the mass range $1\text{ meV}-15\text{ meV}$.

description: A variety of factors such as genetic and epigenetic alterations is known to be involved in initiation and progression of the malignant lesion. microRNA dysregulation is identified as one of the epigenetic changes during cancer development. They play important roles in modulating range of pathways including cell differentiation apoptosis, cell invasion, Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and angiogenesis. Angiogenesis is a vital process for cancer survival. The process of angiogenesis in malignancy is initially and mainly promoted by vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs). Over-expression of VEGF-A in different carcinomas has been reported, and its cross-talk has been described in cancer between angiogenesis and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process. EMT is a process which generates motile and invasive cells and converts epithelial cells into mesenchymal cells. Subsequently, cells acquire migratory abilities, accumulate resistance to different types of cancer therapies and gain stem-cell like properties.

description: We present a model for the spindown of young radio pulsars in which the neutron star loses rotational energy not only by emitting magnetic dipole radiation but also by torquing a surrounding accretion disk produced by supernova fallback. The braking index predicted in our model is in general less than n=3 (the value for pure dipole magnetic radiation), in agreement with the reported values of n<3 for five young radio pulsars. With an accuracy of 30% or better, our model reproduces the age, braking index and third frequency derivative of the Crab pulsar for a disk accretion rate in the range 3 x 10^16 - 10^17 g/s.

title: Silent transmission: the influence of Buddhist traditions on Georges Bataille's 'La pratique de la joie devant la mort'
Creators: name: McCormick, Lucy Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Georges Bataille, Zen, Tibet, Tibetan Buddhism,Buddhism, avant garde.

description: Beyond vague references to his ‘Eastern’ or ‘Oriental’ influences, there exists almost no work on the impact made by Buddhist traditions on the work of Georges Bataille. This study takes a first step towards understanding this impact. It embarks upon a reading of 'La Pratique de la joie devant la mort' as a record of Bataille’s meditation practice infused with Tibetan and Japanese Zen Buddhist concepts and practices as he understood them, through the prism of European interactions therewith. The study traces the evolution of what are here termed the ‘imagined Buddhisms’ emerging from such interactions, from early Euro-Buddhist encounters during the Christian missions, through the 19th-century birth of ‘Buddhist Studies’ and the related influence of Schopenhauer and Nietzsche, to an interwar avant-garde preoccupied with the rejection of the European values held to have caused WWI. Foremost of the avant-garde factions considered here is the secret society Acéphale, founded by Bataille with the stated aims of creating a new religion and waging war on ‘tout ce qui est reconnu aujourd’hui’. In the course of this investigation, a pattern of Buddhist traditions weaponised in support of European projects is established; one in which they are imagined and re-imagined alternately as equivalent and antagonist to the work of Bataille, his peers and their antecedents. 'La Pratique de la joie devant la mort' emerges in the light of Bataille’s ‘imagined Buddhism’ as a practical version of an inverted Nietzschean sovereignty, incorporating elements of the concepts and practices of Tibetan and Japanese Zen Buddhism as he understood them. In the former case, these include his method of dramatisation (the projection of real or imagined images to bring about a rupture in the psyche)and the idea of Tibetan meditation as what he terms a means of ‘put[ting one] to sleep’. Such an ‘put[ting] to sleep’ is argued to be akin to the what Bataille elsewhere calls the ‘narcotic’ of the profane world and to which he offers his own practice as a solution. In the case of Japanese Zen, the process Bataille would come to call the 'opération souveraine' is shown to be present in 'La Pratique de la joie devant la mort' and to bear resemblance to the process of achieving the form of Zen enlightenment called satori. A momentary flash of insight, satori is also shown to be comparable to the breakthrough of sacred from profane.

description: The optimization of finite-time thermodynamic heat engines was intensively explored recently, yet limited to few cycles, e.g. finite-time Carnot-like cycle. In this paper, we supplement a new type of finite-time engine with quantum Otto cycle and show the better performance. The current model can be widely utilized benefited from the general \mathcal{C}/τ^{2} scaling of extra work for finite-time adiabatic process with long control time τ. Such scaling allows analytical optimization of the generic finite-time quantum Otto cycle to surpass the efficiency at maximum power for the Carnot-like engine. We apply the current perturbation method to the quantum piston model and calculate the efficiency at maximum power, which is validated with exact solution.

description: Theoretical integrated spectrophotometric quantities, such as spectral line indices in the Lick system (Hbeta, Mg2, Mg b, Fe5270, Fe5335), broadband color indices (in the UBVRIHK and Washington CMT1 bandpasses), and surface brightness fluctuation magnitudes and colors, ranging from far-UV to near-IR have been consistently computed for simple stellar populations from our evolutionary population synthesis code. The age range of -4 Gyr < Delta_t < +4 Gyr is explored, where Delta_t = 0 Gyr is the currently favored mean age of inner halo Galacitc globular clusters (Galactocentric radius < 8 kpc), ~ 12Gyr. The main aim of this dissertation is to investigate the effects of post-red giant branch stars on the integrated spectrophotometric quantities after employing detailed systematic variation of horizontal-branch morphology with age and metallicity.

title: The mechanisms of amniote photoperiodism: from deep-brain photoreceptors to rhythmic epigenetics
Creators: name: Tolla, Elisabetta
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: rhythmic epigenetics, seasonal reproduction, seasonality, avian light detection, deep-brain photoreceptors, DNA methyltransferases, VA opsin, OPN5.

description: Seasonal reproduction is a strategy conserved across nature. The duration of light (photoperiod) regulates the reproductive molecular control within the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Gonadal Axis of seasonal species, and supplementary cues fine-tune the exact timing of breeding. In recent years, epigenetic mechanisms have been shown to be involved in an array of circannual rhythms, including reproduction. The aim of this thesis was to explore the molecular reproductive neuroendocrine processes that underlie the onset of reproduction in two summer-breeding animal models, the Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) and the Siberian hamster (Phodopus sungorus). In birds, light penetrates the skull and is detected by deep-brain photoreceptors (DBPs) within the hypothalamus, stimulating the photoperiodic reproductive response. However, the identity of these DBPs is unclear to this day. In the present thesis, the expression of two photoreceptors, Vertebrate-Ancient Opsin (VA Opsin) and Neuropsin (OPN5), was repressed through adeno-associated viral injection, and the breeding response was monitored in control and treated birds maintained under short-days (SD), or long-days (LD) for 2, 7 or 28 days. The data revealed that both opsins may be involved in seasonal reproduction in the Japanese quail, and that OPN5’s role includes modulating gonadal sensitivity to gonadotropins during breeding. It was also found that hypothalamic OPN5, GNRH and DNAmethyltransferase (Dnmt) expression increases at embryonic day 14 in this species. In addition, higher global methylation levels were found in the pituitary gland of adult LD quail, compared to SD. In the Siberian hamster, two studies were conducted to investigate the effect of triiodothyronine (T3) on the photoperiod-dependent regulation of reproductive physiology and hypothalamic DNA methyltransferase enzyme expression in both males and females. Two weeks of daily T3 injections induced gonadal growth in SD males, but not in females. Female SD hamsters, but not males, were found to express lower levels of de novo Dnmts compared to LD individuals. However, exogenous T3 did not affect hypothalamic Dnmt expression in neither males or females. The data indicated sex differences in the gonadal response to T3, as well as in the regulation of hypothalamic DNA methyltransferase expression. It is likely that female Siberian hamsters require additional cues to initiate reproductive processes. The studies presented allowed for an exploration of reproductive mechanisms in both an avian and a mammalian model, including the role of epigenetic processes in seasonal breeding. Future studies are required to elucidate the precise mechanisms of DBPs, as well as identify downstream targets of maintenance and de novo Dnmts.

description: We numerically study reservoir computing on a spin-torque oscillator (STO) array, describing the magnetization dynamics of the STO array by a nonlinear oscillator model. The STOs exhibit synchronized oscillation due to coupling by magnetic dipolar fields. We show that reservoir computing can be performed using the synchronized oscillation state. The performance can be improved by increasing the number of STOs. The performance becomes highest at the boundary between the synchronized and disordered states. Using an STO array, we can achieve higher performance than that of an echo-state network with similar number of units. This result indicates that STO arrays are promising for hardware implementation of reservoir computing.

NGC 6994 - clearly not a physical stellar ensemble

Year: 2001

description: The sparse stellar ensemble NGC 6994 = M73 has recently been discussed as a possible remnant of an old open cluster. In order to solve the controversy on the nature of this object we have taken high-resolution spectra of the six brightest stars within 6' angular distance of its nominal position. These stars are the only obvious member candidates for an eventual cluster or cluster remnant since fainter stars do not show any significant concentration in the plane of the sky. The radial velocities, atmospheric parameters, and absolute magnitudes derived from the spectra reveal that the six candidates do not share the same kinematics and lie at different distances from the Sun. The proper motions provided by the Tycho-2 catalogue show that there is also a large spread in the tangential motions of these stars, in agreement with the spectroscopic results. This leads to the conclusion that the few bright stars that constitute NGC 6994 are not a physical system (cluster, cluster remnant, or group). They must instead be understood as a projective chance alignment of physically unrelated field stars.

title: Technology-facilitated abuse amongst culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) women: Service providers' perceptions
Creators: name: Leyton Zamora, Carolina
Publisher: name: Griffith University
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: technology facilitated abuse
subject: domestic and family violence
subject: migrant women

description: This research draws from practitioners’ reflections about the experiences of culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) adult women who experience technology-facilitated abuse (TFA) in the context of domestic and family violence (DFV) in Australia. The research aims to understand the nature of the abuse, the barriers that CALD women face when seeking help for TFA, and how service providers currently respond to this type of abuse reported by CALD women. Through a national online survey and in-depth interviews with practitioners, this research provides valuable insights into the experiences of CALD women and the challenges they face in accessing support and services. These results can be used to inform the development of more effective and culturally sensitive approaches to addressing TFA among CALD women in the DFV context. As technology has become an integral part of our daily lives, it has also become an increasingly common tool for perpetrators of DFV to control and abuse their victims. CALD women may also be more vulnerable to further impacts from this type of abuse given they are likely to be isolated from family and friends and staying connected with family and their culture usually involves accessing technology, such as mobile telephones and the internet. This research investigates the specific ways in which technology is being used to perpetrate abuse and the impact this has on the safety and wellbeing of CALD women. The research also examines the barriers that CALD women face in seeking help, with many participants reporting that their organisations lacked specific training to respond to TFA, cultural awareness, and adequate training to support CALD women. This lack of preparation and cultural sensitivity from service providers can lead to adverse outcomes, with CALD women experiencing further isolation and being less likely to report violence, pursue criminal justice responses, or separate from the perpetrator. The study also explores the impact of TFA on CALD women’s mental health, with many participants reporting that women felt trapped, shame, and fear of ostracisation from their community; and that they experienced financial impacts, further isolation from family and friends, which had a significant negative impact on their mental health and wellbeing.

Optimization of high-order harmonic generation by optimal control theory: Ascending a functional landscape in extreme conditions

description: A theoretical optimization method of high-harmonic-generation (HHG) is developed in the framework of optimal-control-theory (OCT). The target of optimization is the emission radiation of a particular frequency. The OCT formulation includes restrictions on the frequency band of the driving pulse, the permanent ionization probability and the total energy of the driving pulse. The optimization task requires a highly accurate simulation of the dynamics. Absorbing boundary conditions are employed, where a complex-absorbing-potential is constructed by an optimization scheme for maximization of the absorption. A new highly accurate propagation scheme is employed, which can address explicit time dependence of the driving as well as a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian. The optimization process is performed by a second-order gradient scheme. The method is applied to a simple one-dimensional model system. The results demonstrate a significant enhancement of selected harmonics, with minimized total energy of the driving pulse and controlled permanent ionization probability. A successful enhancement of an even harmonic emission is also demonstrated.

description: The phase diagram of the filled skutterudite CeOs$_4$Sb$_{12}$ has been mapped in fields $H$ of up to 60 T and temperatures $T$ down to 0.5 K using resistivity, magnetostriction, and MHz conductivity. The valence transition separating the semimetallic, low-$H$, low-$T$, $\cal{L}$ phase from the metallic high-$H$, high-$T$ $\cal{H}$ phase exhibits a very unusual, wedge-shaped phase boundary, with a non-monotonic gradient alternating between positive and negative. This is quite different from the text-book "elliptical" phase boundary usually followed by valence transitions. Analysis of Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations within the $\cal{H}$ phase reveals an effective mass that increases as $H$ drops toward the $\cal{H-L}$ phase boundary, suggesting proximity to a quantum-critical point. The associated magnetic fluctuations may be responsible for the anomalous $H,T$ dependence of the valence transition at high $H$, whereas the low$-H$, high$-T$ portion of the phase boundary may rather be associated with the proximity of CeOs$_4$Sb$_{12}$ to a topological semimetal phase induced by uniaxial stress.

description: In this self-study, my role as an external consultant in reframing a professional learning design at one school site is examined during the 6th year of the consultancy. Specifically, this research explores more deeply my role in developing and implementing a differentiated professional learning model, focused on building teacher ownership and choice. It builds on the history of the previous 5 years of the consultancy. The key question being examined is: How has my work, as an external math consultant in introducing a new differentiated professional learning model, impacted on teachers’ practice? Sub-questions include, (a) How did the participants respond to the changed professional learning design and why; (b) How has the implementation of the differentiated professional learning design influenced me in my growth as a consultant and why? In the self-study I employed a range of data sources so as to gain various perspectives from participants involved with the implementation of the differentiated professional learning design. These included semi-structured individual interviews with teachers before and after the implementation of the professional learning cycle, an interview with the Principal, a participant focus group interview mid-way through the cycle conducted by a critical friend, a substantive conversation with the critical friend, and reflective journal entries. The data were gathered and presented with narrative account methods to ascertain the teachers’, the Principal’s, and my own stories and multiple perspectives on experiences regarding the implementation of the reframed design. The theoretical framework of interrelated components of professional knowledge landscapes, reflective practice, and social and situated learning provide the basis for the analysis of the data.

description: The study of tensor correlations and pions in dense matter in astronomical contexts has recently acquired renewed importance for a number of reasons. One is the discovery by Akmal, and Pandharipande (Phys. Rev. C56 2261 (1997)) of a striking increase in tensor correlations in cold matter at densities not far above that of isospin-symmetric nuclear matter at saturation. A second is that, according to a calculation by Mayle and Wilson, softening of the equation of state by the appearance of thermal pions can play an important role. A third is that the strength of tensor correlations is a crucial ingredient in calculating rates of neutrino emission and scattering, which are needed in calculations of stellar collapse and of the cooling of neutron stars. We describe some recent results for the response of nuclear matter when tensor interactions are taken into account, and indicate some unresolved issues.

title: Impact of Police Diversion on Re-Offending by Young People
Creators: name: Little, Simon B
Publisher: name: Griffith University

Subjects: subject: Restorative justice conference
subject: Police diversion from crime processing
subject: Recidivism by young people

description: In Australia, most young people who offend and have contact with police are diverted from formal processing via a formal police caution or referred to a restorative justice conference (hereafter referred to as a ‘youth justice conference’). The focus on diversion is based on the perceived criminogenic effects that formal court processing may have on young people. Labelling theory provides the primary theoretical basis for diverting young people from formal processing, by predicting that being labelled ‘deviant’ by the courts can have a detrimental effect on the individual’s self-image and the label that others attach to them. Stigmatisation caused by this negative labelling makes it increasingly likely for the young person to gravitate towards other negatively labelled young people and engage in subsequent offending behaviour. Thus, if the predictions of labelling theory are true, those diverted from court should be less likely to re-offend, all other factors being equal. This thesis provides an examination of how effective the police diversionary strategies of formal police cautioning and youth justice conferencing are for reducing recidivism by young people in comparison to a finalised youth court appearance. However, the decision by police about whether to divert or formally process alleged young offenders is not due to random allocation, but is based on a complex interplay between various legal and extra-legal factors. Thus, a comparison between these two groups of young people on outcome measures may be impacted by selection bias, or reflect pre-existing differences between the groups on outcome measures. Propensity score matching (PSM) provides the ability to deal with the problem of selection bias by matching groups on a number of covariates to achieve statistical balance, and therefore approximate experimental conditions.

description: We present a topological characterization of time-periodically driven two-band models in 2+1 dimensions as Hopf insulators. The intrinsic periodicity of the Floquet system with respect to both time and the underlying two-dimensional momentum space constitutes a map from a three dimensional torus to the Bloch sphere. As a result, we find that the driven system can be understood by appealing to a Hopf map that is directly constructed from the micromotion of the drive. Previously found winding numbers are shown to correspond to Hopf invariants, which are associated with linking numbers describing the topology of knots in three dimensions. Moreover, after being cast as a Hopf insulator, not only the Chern numbers, but also the winding numbers of the Floquet topological insulator become accessible in experiments as linking numbers. We exploit this description to propose a feasible scheme for measuring the complete set of their Floquet topological invariants in optical lattices.

description: RELATIONSHIP OF LUCINIDAE TO OTHER BIVALVE GROUPS   McAlester (1966) suggested that Babinka and the lucinoids were derived from monoplacophorans independently from the rest of the bivalves and Pojeta (1978) considered them a sufficiently distinct group to warrant separation at subclass level (Lucinata). However, these concepts were countered by Boss (1969, 1970) who pointed out the many morphological characters of lucinids that are shared with heterodont bivalves. Subsequent morphological and molecular analyses have confirmed the position of the Lucinidae amongst the Heterodonta (Healy, 1995; Steiner & Hammer, 2000; Giribet & Wheeler, 2002; Giribet & Distel, 2004; Williams, Taylor & Glover, 2004).
 Some workers have proposed, on the basis of morphology, a phylogenetic relationship between the Crassatelloidea and Lucinoidea (in old concept) (Allen, 1958; Boss, 1969; Scarlato & Starobogatov, 1978; Johnston, 1993; Morton, 1996). Molecular analyses of species of Astartidae and Carditidae (Giribet & Wheeler, 2002; Giribet & Distel, 2004), indicated that they group together in a monophyletic clade that forms a sister group to the remaining heterodont bivalves, but with no close relationship to the Lucinidae. Inclusion of a crassatellid species, Eucrassatella donacina (Lamarck, 1818), in the molecular analysis (Taylor, Glover & Williams, 2005) shows (Fig. 2) that a combined monophyletic clade of Astartidae, Crassatellidae and Carditidae forms a basal sister group to all other heterodont bivalves including the Anomalodesmata. The monophyly of this clade is corroborated by morphological characters, including those of sperm (Healy, 1995) and presence of extracellular haemoglobin of high molecular weight in all three families. This result supports the idea, based on morphological studies, that the Crassatelloidea and Carditoidea are the most primitive of the living heterodont bivalves (Yonge, 1969). Suggestions of a relationship between the Crassatellidae and any of the families previously included in the Lucinoidea (Allen, 1958; Boss, 1969; Johnston, 1993; Morton, 1996) are not supported.
A molecular phylogeny of the Anomalodesmata (Dreyer, Steiner & Harper, 2003) showed them rooting, in parsimony analysis, as a monophyletic clade amongst basal heterodonts between the Carditoidea/ Crassatelloidea clade and the rest of the heterodonts but in a maximum likelihood analysis they formed a sister group to the Lucinidae. Nevertheless, we are at present unable to identify a sister group to the Lucinidae and, in our molecular analyses, the clade falls into a polytomy with several other major groups of heterodont bivalves (Fig. 2).

description: We report abundance estimates for neutron-capture elements, including lead (Pb), and nucleosynthesis models for their origin, in two carbon-rich, very metal-poor stars, LP625-44 and LP706-7. These stars are subgiants whose surface abundances are likely to have been strongly affected by mass transfer from companion AGB stars that have since evolved to white dwarfs. The detections of Pb, which forms the final abundance peak of the s-process, enable a comparison of the abundance patterns from Sr (Z=38) to Pb (Z=82) with predictions of AGB models. The derived chemical compositions provide strong constraints on the AGB stellar models, as well as on s-process nucleosynthesis at low metallicity. The present paper reports details of the abundance analysis for 16 neutron-capture elements in LP 625-44, including the effects of hyperfine splitting and isotope shifts of spectral lines for some elements. A Pb abundance is also derived for LP706-7 by a re-analysis of a previously observed spectrum. We investigate the characteristics of the nucleosynthesis pathway that produces the abundance ratios of these objects using a parametric model of the s-process without adopting any specific stellar model. The neutron exposure tau is estimated to be about 0.7mb^-1, significantly larger than that which best fits solar-system material, but consistent with the values predicted by models of moderately metal-poor AGB stars. This value is strictly limited by the Pb abundance, in addition to those of Sr and Ba. We also find that the observed abundance pattern can be explained by a few recurrent neutron exposures, and that the overlap of the material that is processed in two subsequent exposures is small (the overlap factor r~0.1).

Migration of giant planets in planetesimal discs

description: Planets orbiting a planetesimal circumstellar disc can migrate inward from their initial positions because of dynamical friction between planets and planetesimals. The migration rate depends on the disc mass and on its time evolution. Planets that are embedded in long-lived planetesimal discs, having total mass of $10^{-4}-0.01 M_{\odot}$, can migrate inward a large distance and can survive only if the inner disc is truncated or because of tidal interaction with the star. In this case the semi-major axis, a, of the planetary orbit is less than 0.1 AU. Orbits with larger $a$ are obtained for smaller value of the disc mass or for a rapid evolution (depletion) of the disc. This model may explain several of the orbital features of the giant planets that were discovered in last years orbiting nearby stars as well as the metallicity enhancement found in several stars associated with short-period planets.

description: The directed Physarum dynamics is known to solve positive linear programs: minimize $c^T x$ subject to $Ax = b$ and $x \ge 0$ for a positive cost vector $c$. The directed Physarum dynamics evolves a positive vector $x$ according to the dynamics $\dot{x} = q(x) - x$. Here $q(x)$ is the solution to $Af = b$ that minimizes the "energy" $\sum_i c_i f_i^2/x_i$. In this paper, we study the non-uniform directed dynamics $\dot{x} = D(q(x) - x)$, where $D$ is a positive diagonal matrix. The non-uniform dynamics is more complex than the uniform dynamics (with $D$ being the identity matrix), as it allows each component of $x$ to react with different speed to the differences between $q(x)$ and $x$. Our contribution is to show that the non-uniform directed dynamics solves positive linear programs.
CMB Temperature and Polarization Anisotropy Fundamentals

description: The tremendous experimental progress in cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature and polarization anisotropy studies over the last few years has helped establish a standard paradigm for cosmology at intermediate epochs and has simultaneously raised questions regarding the physical processes at the two opposite ends of time. What is the physics behind the source of structure in the universe and the dark energy that is currently accelerating its expansion? We review the acoustic phenomenology that forms the cornerstone of the standard cosmological model and discuss internal consistency relations which lend credence to its interpretation. We discuss future milestones in the study of CMB anisotropy that have implications for inflationary and dark energy models. These include signatures of gravitational waves and gravitational lensing in the polarization fields and secondary temperature anisotropy from the transit of CMB photons across the large-scale structure of the universe.
