description: Electrospun fibers have recently gained popularity, particularly in pharmaceutical and biomedical applications, owing to their high surface–to–volume ratio, solubility, versatility, and other special characteristics. Peptide/protein structures from plants and animals, combined with synthetic and natural polymers, are utilized to create biocompatible and biodegradable fibers. Casein, silk fibroin, hemoglobin, bovine serum albumin, elastin, collagen, gelatin, keratin, soy, pea, and zein are some animal and plant proteins used in the production of nanofibers. These animal and plants–derived proteins and synthetic biopolymers are used in the production of electrospun nanofibers. Their potential applications in the pharmaceutical and biomedical fields are discussed in this review. Since proteins have biodegradability and compatibility with living cells, protein–based nanofibers may be of special interest. The natural enzymes of the body can degrade these proteins into absorbable non-toxic amino acids. Although protein-based fibers have several advantages, it is still challenging to standardize their mechanical and physical characteristics. The review highlights the adverse effects of metallic particles incorporated in nanofibers in healthcare applications and concludes with the challenges and prospects protein–based nanofibrous.

description: The characterization of fabrics after applying different degradation conditions appears to be a key factor to understand their behaviour for different applications. Depending on the treatment, morphologic and polymorphic changes may arise in the polymeric chain structure that composes textile fibers. In this paper, a systematic and comparative study between different types of natural and synthetic textile fabrics was carried out in order to shed light on the structural changes occurring under acid and alkali treatments. The natural fabric polymers studied had a cellulose-based composition from plants (cotton, linen and jute), or a protein-based one from animals (silk and wool). The synthetic fabric was polyester. Different treatment times were assessed: 15 min, 1, 2, 4, 8 and 24 h and compared to the initial condition of the fabrics (standard). In the cellulosic fabrics, the alkali provoked the polymorphic transformation of the amorphous CI into CII. However, the acid treatment did not cause any remarkable alteration in the structure. In protein fabrics, the acid treatment increased the amorphicity of the structures, leading to further degradation but not affecting the conformation of proteins, and the alkali dissolved the fabrics. Polyester was not affected by the chemical solutions (neither acid nor alkali).

description: The magnetic network observed on the solar surface harbors a sizable fraction of the total quiet Sun flux. However, its origin and maintenance are not well known. Here we investigate the contribution of internetwork magnetic fields to the network flux. Internetwork fields permeate the interior of supergranular cells and show large emergence rates. We use long-duration sequences of magnetograms acquired by Hinode and an automatic feature tracking algorithm to follow the evolution of network and internetwork flux elements. We find that 14% of the quiet Sun flux is in the form of internetwork fields, with little temporal variations. Internetwork elements interact with network patches and modify the flux budget of the network, either by adding flux (through merging processes) or by removing it (through cancellation events). Mergings appear to be dominant, so the net flux contribution of the internetwork is positive. The observed rate of flux transfer to the network is 1.5 x 10^24 Mx day^-1 over the entire solar surface. Thus, the internetwork supplies as much flux as is present in the network in only 9-13 hours. Taking into account that not all the transferred flux is incorporated into the network, we find that the internetwork would be able to replace the entire network flux in approximately 18-24 hours. This renders the internetwork the most important contributor to the network, challenging the view that ephemeral regions are the main source of flux in the quiet Sun. About 40% of the total internetwork flux eventually ends up in the network.

description: Στην παρούσα εργασία μελετάται α) η επίδραση των κεφαλικών παραμορφώσεων στο σχήμα της κεφαλής της τσιπούρας, β) η συμμετοχή των διαφόρων οστών στην κάθε δυσπλασία, και γ) η επίδραση των σκελετικών δυσπλασιών στο ρυθμό σωματικής αύξησης, κατά τη διάρκεια της εκτροφής των ατόμων. Η μελέτη βασίσθηκε σε δείγματα που προέρχονταν από κοινό πληθυσμό εκτροφής ψαριών. Το πρώτο δείγμα αποτελούμενο από 265 άτομα τσιπούρας, κατατάχθηκε σε 6 διακριτές φαινοτυπικές κατηγορίες (φυσιολογικά (Ν), κοντή κάτω γνάθος (SloJ), κοντή άνω γνάθος (SuJ), «κουμπύ> (UpJP, τεθλασμένο προφίλ προκογχικής περιοχής), «παπαγαλάκι» (UpJV, κάθετο προφίλ προκογχικής περιοχής) και «λακούβα» (DoC, νωτιαία εσοχή, στο ύψος της υπερινιακής περιοχής), για ανάλυση σχήματος. Το δεύτερο δείγμα, αποτελούμενο από 1080 άτομα, με διάφορους τύπους παραμορφώσεων, κατατάχθηκε σε 8 διακριτές φαινοτυπικές κατηγορίες (φυσιολογικά (Ν), κοντή κάτω γνάθος (SloJ), κοντή άνω γνάθος (SuJ), «κουμπί» (UpJP, τεθλασμένο προφίλ προκογχικής περιοχής), «παπαγαλάκι» (UpJV, κάθετο προφίλ προκογχικής περιοχής), έντονα παραμορφωμένο βραγχιακό επικάλλυμα (OpL), ελαφρώς παραμορφωμένο βραγχιακό επικάλλυμα (OpS), και μερική έλλειψη του ραχιαίου πτερυγίου (Sdlbck) προκειμένου να ελεγχθεί η επίδραση των σκελετικών παραμορφώσεων στο ρυθμό σωματικής αύξησης. Τα αποτελέσματα της ανάλυσης έδειξαν ότι σε όλες τις διαφορετικές περιπτώσεις που εξετάσθηκαν (SloJ, SuJ, UpJP, UpJV, DoC, Εικόνα 2.1), η επίδραση των δυσπλασιών στο σχήμα του σώματος είναι σημαντική και παρουσιάζει συνεχή διαβάθμιση, επιτρέποντας τη δημιουργία μιας κλίμακας ποιότητας με βάση την απόσταση των παραμορφωμένων από τα φυσιολογικά άτομα κατά μήκος των μεταβλητών της γεωμετρικής ανάλυσης. Από τα αποτελέσματα βρέθηκε ότι εκτός των άμεσα εμπλεκομένων οστών (προγναθικό, γναθικό, οδοντικό), στις SloJ, SuJ και UpJP συμμετέχουν και οστά όπως το προ-επικαλυμματικό, το πρώτο πτερυγιοφόρο του ραχιαίου πτερυγίου ή/και η άνω βάση του θωρακικού. Τέλος, τα αποτελέσματα της παρούσας εργασίας στο ρυθμό σωματικής αύξησης, έδειξαν ότι οι παραμορφώσεις των γνάθων και του βραγχιακού επικαλύμματος επιδρούν αρνητικά στο ρυθμό σωματικής αύξησης της τσιπούρας. Εξαίρεση αποτέλεσε η δυσπλασία της κοντής άνω γνάθου και της μερικής έλλειψης του ραχιαίου πτερυγίου.

description: Most contemporary supervised Remote Sensing (RS) image Change Detection (CD) approaches are customized for equal-resolution bitemporal images. Real-world applications raise the need for cross-resolution change detection, aka, CD based on bitemporal images with different spatial resolutions. Given training samples of a fixed bitemporal resolution difference (ratio) between the high-resolution (HR) image and the low-resolution (LR) one, current cross-resolution methods may fit a certain ratio but lack adaptation to other resolution differences. Toward continuous cross-resolution CD, we propose scale-invariant learning to enforce the model consistently predicting HR results given synthesized samples of varying resolution differences. Concretely, we synthesize blurred versions of the HR image by random downsampled reconstructions to reduce the gap between HR and LR images. We introduce coordinate-based representations to decode per-pixel predictions by feeding the coordinate query and corresponding multi-level embedding features into an MLP that implicitly learns the shape of land cover changes, therefore benefiting recognizing blurred objects in the LR image. Moreover, considering that spatial resolution mainly affects the local textures, we apply local-window self-attention to align bitemporal features during the early stages of the encoder. Extensive experiments on two synthesized and one real-world different-resolution CD datasets verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. Our method significantly outperforms several vanilla CD methods and two cross-resolution CD methods on the three datasets both in in-distribution and out-of-distribution settings. The empirical results suggest that our method could yield relatively consistent HR change predictions regardless of varying bitemporal resolution ratios.

description: Το φαγκρί αποτελεί ένα νέο είδος για την ελληνική και μεσογειακή ιχθυοκαλλιέργεια. Σε μονάδα εκτροφής φαγκριού (Pagrus pagrus Linnaeus, 1758) στη Θεσπρωτία παρατηρήθηκε στο τελικό στάδιο εκτροφής να υπάρχουν άτομα της ίδιας ηλικίας που είχαν όμως μεγάλη διαφορά στο μέγεθος. Σκοπός της παρούσας εργασίας ήταν η καταγραφή της μυϊκής κυτταρότητας και η σύγκριση της μυϊκής υπερπλασίας και υπερτροφίας στις λευκές μυϊκές ίνες μεταξύ αυτών των ατόμων που ενώ είχαν την ίδια ηλικία είχαν σημαντική διαφορά στο σωματικό βάρος. Σε κάθε φαγκρί μετρήθηκε το βάρος σώματος, το ολικό μήκος, το βάρος των γονάδων, καθώς και ο αριθμός επιλεγμένων μεριστικών στοιχείων ενώ με μακροσκοπική εξέταση των γονάδων έγινε προσδιορισμός του φύλου σε κάθε άτομο. Επίσης έγινε λήψη δείγματος μυϊκού σκελετικού ιστού και σε εγκάρσιες ιστολογικές τομές μετρήθηκε το μέγεθος (εμβαδόν τομής) των λευκών μυϊκών ινών του φαγκριού από την επαξόνια μυϊκή μάζα. Τα αποτελέσματα έδειξαν ότι στο τελικό στάδιο εκτροφής του είδους, παρουσιάστηκαν μεγάλες διαφορές στο βάρος μεταξύ ατόμων μικρού (ελάχιστο= 126,6g) και μεγάλου μεγέθους (μέγιστο=630§). Τα θηλυκά άτομα ήταν συνήθως μεγαλύτερα από τα αρσενικά. Τα άτομα που παρουσίασαν αυξημένη μυϊκή υπερπλασία ήταν ώριμα με μεγάλο βάρος γονάδων σε σχέση με τα υπόλοιπα άτομα τα οποία είχαν μικρότερο βάρος γονάδων. Δεν παρατηρήθηκε όμως κάποια διαφορά στον γοναδοσωματικό δείκτη ούτε κάποια μορφολογική διαφορά μεταξύ των ομάδων στον δείκτη ευρωστίας ή τα μεριστικά στοιχεία που μετρήθηκαν στα διαφόρων μεγεθών ψάρια. Οι διαφορές μεγεθών που παρατηρήθηκαν πιθανόν να προέρχονται από γενετικές διαφορές μεταξύ των ομάδων αλλά επίσης να έχει συμβάλει ο τρόπος και οι συνθήκες εκτροφής (συχνότητα, τρόπος ταΐσματος, ιχθυοπυκνότητα) και η μικρή συχνότητα διαλογών για τον διαχωρισμό των εκτρεφόμενων ατόμων ανάλογα με το μέγεθος τους κατά την διάρκεια εκτροφής.

description: We study the ballistic deposition and the grain deposition models on two-dimensional substrates. Using the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) ansatz for height fluctuations, we show that the main contribution to the intrinsic width, which causes strong corrections to the scaling, comes from the fluctuations in the height increments along deposition events. Accounting for this correction in the scaling analysis, we obtained scaling exponents in excellent agreement with the KPZ class. We also propose a method to suppress these corrections, which consists in divide the surface in bins of size $\varepsilon$ and use only the maximal height inside each bin to do the statistics. Again, scaling exponents in remarkable agreement with the KPZ class were found. The binning method allowed the accurate determination of the height distributions of the ballistic models in both growth and steady state regimes, providing the universal underlying fluctuations foreseen for KPZ class in 2+1 dimensions. Our results provide complete and conclusive evidences that the ballistic model belongs to the KPZ universality class in $2+1$ dimensions. Potential applications of the methods developed here, in both numerics and experiments, are discussed.

description: This study attempts to answer a couple of questions to which little consensus has been reached: First, is the Rice Variable Direct Payment Scheme really coupled, and if so, to what extent? Second, could redesigning, among other components of the Scheme, target price mitigate the coupling effects believed to exacerbate the recent oversupply of rice? Based on the ex-post evaluation method using a dynamic partial equilibrium model, some key findings and suggestions are made as follows: 1) the Scheme is coupled albeit the effect is considerably negligible; 2) nevertheless, changing such factors as target price is expected to reduce ending stocks, which require burdensome budgets, and rice farm income, which requires employing other policy instruments, including the policy mix, in line with the change of the Scheme; 3) before discussing target prices for the coming five years, careful attention should be paid to anticipated and unintended effects. Out of these findings, this study is expected to be informative and helpful for policy makers.

description: Diffusion noise represents a major constraint to successful liquid state nano-NMR spectroscopy. Using the Fisher information as a faithful measure, we theoretically calculate and experimentally show that phase sensitive protocols are superior in most experimental scenarios, as they maximize information extraction from correlations in the sample. We derive the optimal experimental parameters for quantum heterodyne detection (Qdyne) and present the most accurate statistically polarized nano-NMR Qdyne detection experiments to date, leading the way to resolve chemical shifts and $J$ couplings at the nanoscale.

description: Bell's inequality fundamentally changed our understanding of quantum mechanics. Bell's insight that non-local correlations between quantum systems cannot be explained classically can be verified experimentally, and has numerous applications in modern quantum information. Today, the CHSH inequality is probably the most well-known Bell inequality and it has given us a wealth of understanding in what differentiates the classical from the quantum world. Yet, there are certainly other means of quantifying "Bell non-locality without inequalities" such as the famous Hardy's paradox. As such, one may wonder whether these are entirely different approaches to non-locality. For this anniversary issue, we unify the perspective of the CHSH inequality and Hardy Paradox into one family of non-local games which include both as special cases.

description: In the last decades we have assisted to a growing need for security in many public environments. According to a study recently conducted by the European Security Observatory, one half of the entire population is worried about the crime and requires the law enforcement to be protected. This consideration has lead the proliferation of cameras and microphones, which represent a suitable solution for their relative low cost of maintenance, the possibility of installing them virtually everywhere and, finally, the capability of analysing more complex events. However, the main limitation of this traditional audiovideo surveillance systems lies in the so called psychological overcharge issue of the human operators responsible for security, that causes a decrease in their capabilities to analyse raw data flows from multiple sources of multimedia information; indeed, as stated by a study conducted by Security Solutions magazine, after 12 minutes of continuous video monitoring, a guard will often miss up to 45% of screen activity. After 22 minutes of video, up to 95% is overlooked. For the above mentioned reasons, it would be really useful to have available an intelligent surveillance system, able to provide images and video with a semantic interpretation, for trying to bridge the gap between their low-level representation in terms of pixels, and the high-level, natural language description that a human would give about them. On the other hand, this kind of systems, able to automatically understand the events occurring in a scene, would be really useful in other application fields, mainly oriented to marketing purposes. Especially in the last years, a lot of business intelligent applications have been installed for assisting decision makers and for giving an organization’s employees, partners and suppliers easy access to the information they need to effectively do their jobs...

description: The multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis of time series is able to reveal the presence of long-range correlations and, at the same time, to characterize the self-similarity of the series. The rich information derivable from the characteristic exponents and the multifractal spectrum can be further analyzed to discover important insights about the underlying dynamical process. In this paper, we employ multifractal analysis techniques in the study of protein contact networks. To this end, initially a network is mapped to three different time series, each of which is generated by a stationary unbiased random walk. To capture the peculiarities of the networks at different levels, we accordingly consider three observables at each vertex: the degree, the clustering coefficient, and the closeness centrality. To compare the results with suitable references, we consider also instances of three well-known network models and two typical time series with pure monofractal and multifractal properties. The first result of notable interest is that time series associated to proteins contact networks exhibit long-range correlations (strong persistence), which are consistent with signals in-between the typical monofractal and multifractal behavior. Successively, a suitable embedding of the multifractal spectra allows to focus on ensemble properties, which in turn gives us the possibility to make further observations regarding the considered networks. In particular, we highlight the different role that small and large fluctuations of the considered observables play in the characterization of the network topology.

description: Antipsychotics (APs), during treatment or overdose, may be associated with respiratory aspiration. A PubMed search on 30 September 2022, provided 3 cases of respiratory aspiration during clozapine therapy and 1 case during an AP overdose. VigiBase records of respiratory aspiration associated with APs from inception until 5 September 2021, were reviewed. VigiBase, the World Health Organization’s global pharmacovigilance database, uses a statistical signal for associations called the information component (IC). The ICs (and IC025) were 2.1 (and 2.0) for APs, 3.2 (and 3.0) for clozapine, 2.6 (and 2.4) for quetiapine, and 2.5 (and 2.2) for olanzapine. Cases of respiratory aspiration associated with APs included: 137 overdose/suicide cases (64 fatal) and 609 cases during treatment (385 fatal) including 333 taking clozapine (238 fatal). In logistic regression models of fatal outcomes, the odds ratios, OR, and (95% confidence intervals, CI) of significant independent variables were: a) 2.3–2.6 for clozapine in 3 samples of AP treatment of varying size, b) 1.9 (CI 1.0 to 3.5) for geriatric age in 284 patients on clozapine treatment, and c) 1.8 (CI 1.1–3.2) for antidepressant co-medication in 276 patients on non-clozapine APs.

description: A search for leptoquarks decaying into the $bτ$ final state is performed using Run 2 proton-proton collision data from the Large Hadron Collider, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb$^{-1}$ at $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV recorded by the ATLAS detector. The benchmark models considered in this search are vector leptoquarks with electric charge of 2/3e and scalar leptoquarks with an electric charge of 4/3e. No significant excess above the Standard Model prediction is observed, and 95% confidence level upper limits are set on the cross-section times branching fraction of leptoquarks decaying into $bτ$. For the vector leptoquark production two models are considered: the Yang-Mills and Minimal coupling models. In the Yang-Mills (Minimal coupling) scenario, vector leptoquarks with a mass below 1.58 (1.35) TeV are excluded for a gauge coupling of 1.0 and below 2.05 (1.99) TeV for a gauge coupling of 2.5. In the case of scalar leptoquarks, masses below 1.28 TeV (1.53 TeV) are excluded for a Yukawa coupling of 1.0 (2.5). Finally, an interpretation of the results with minimal model dependence is performed for each of the signal region categories, and limits on the visible cross-section for beyond the Standard Model processes are provided.

description: Focusing on the changes in the demographic spectrum of Korean society in recent years, this paper decomposes the changes in Korean households' food expenditures into various socio-demographic factors and examines how much each explanatory factor accounts for changes in the expenditures by food items. The changes in the food expenditures were evaluated by two measures: average expenditures and expenditure inequality. The demographic factors include the age of household head, the shares of single-person households and households with two or more persons, household income, the share of dual income households, and the share of female households. According to the estimation results, the socio-demographic effects as well as preference effects were found to significantly influence the changes in the average food expenditures between 2006 and 2015. Also, it was found that the factors mostly contributing to rising food expenditure inequality were the increase in the age of the household heads and the decrease in the share of the households with two or more persons. These findings imply that it is necessary to establish a public food assistance system for nutritionally vulnerable groups such as elderly households and low income households.

description: Rapidly rotating magnetars have been associated with gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and super-luminous supernovae (SLSNe). Using a suite of 2D magnetohydrodynamic simulations at fixed neutrino luminosity and a couple of evolutionary models with evolving neutrino luminosity and magnetar spin period, we show that magnetars are viable central engines for powering GRBs and SLSNe. We also present analytic estimates of the energy outflow rate from the proto-neutron star (PNS) as a function of polar magnetic field strength $B_0$, PNS angular velocity $Ω_{\star}$, PNS radius $R_{\star}$ and mass outflow rate $\dot{M}$. We show that rapidly rotating magnetars with spin periods $P_{\star}\lesssim 4$ ms and polar magnetic field strength $B_0\gtrsim 10^{15}$ G can release $10^{50}-5\times 10^{51}$ ergs of energy during the first $\sim2$ s of the cooling phase. Based on this result, it is plausible that sustained energy injection by magnetars through the relativistic wind phase can power GRBs. We also show that magnetars with moderate field strengths of $B_0\lesssim 5\times 10^{14}$ G do not release a large fraction of their rotational kinetic energy during the cooling phase and hence, are not likely to power GRBs. Although we cannot simulate to times greater than $\sim 3-5$ s after a supernova, we can hypothesize that moderate field strength magnetars can brighten the supernova light curves by releasing their rotational kinetic energy via magnetic dipole radiation on timescales of days to weeks, since these do not expend most of their rotational kinetic energy during the early cooling phase.

description: We exploit the parallel between dynamical black holes and cosmological spacetimes to describe the evolution of Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker universes from the point of view of an observer in terms of the dynamics of the apparent horizon. Using the Hayward-Kodama formalism of dynamical black holes, we clarify the role of the Clausius relation to derive the Friedmann equations for a universe, in the spirit of Jacobson's work on the thermodynamics of spacetime. We also show how dynamics at the horizon naturally leads to the quantum-mechanical process of Hawking radiation. We comment on the connection of this work with recent ideas to consider our observable Universe as a Bose-Einstein condensate and on the corresponding role of vacuum energy.

description: The wind energy industry - from R&D through to wind farm development and operations, manufacturing, and grid integration - generates huge amounts of data. That data is already being used to help reduce the cost of energy from wind, and there are many opportunities to use that data in future to build new businesses and new ways of working together. This presentation is a short introduction to the three "Grand Challenges" for the digitalisation of wind energy, identified by a working group drawn from across the wind energy industry and published in the journal, "Wind Energy Science" (preprint at https://doi.org/10.5194/wes-2022-29). The three Grand Challenges are: Data: creating FAIR data frameworks Culture: connecting people and data to foster innovation Coopetiton: enabling collaboration and competition between organisations. The presentation provides the background to these Grand Challenges and suggests some actions that could be undertaken to help address them. For more information, please see the journal article.

description: This essay considers the role that art and history might play together in public history projects. It discusses public history not in terms of ‘learning lessons’, ‘public debate’ and ‘transferable skills’ but instead in terms of creative thinking in the public sphere. The essay draws upon the author’s experiences of working with artists on a series of exhibitions themed around the history of an arts centre’s late Georgian and Victorian buildings and their inhabitants in Sheffield. It explores the synergies between artistic and historical ways of knowing and argues that collaborations with artists provide an opportunity for academic historians to reengage the imaginative aspects of professional academic history. It also explores the value of art’s expressive power and its potential to pose new questions and suggest new answers for both public and historians’ understanding of the past.

description: Machine Learning (ML) is increasingly used to implement advanced applications with non-deterministic behavior, which operate on the cloud-edge continuum. The pervasive adoption of ML is urgently calling for assurance solutions assessing applications non-functional properties (e.g., fairness, robustness, privacy) with the aim to improve their trustworthiness. Certification has been clearly identified by policymakers, regulators, and industrial stakeholders as the preferred assurance technique to address this pressing need. Unfortunately, existing certification schemes are not immediately applicable to non-deterministic applications built on ML models. This article analyzes the challenges and deficiencies of current certification schemes, discusses open research issues, and proposes a first certification scheme for ML-based applications.

description: A systematic review with meta-analysis was conducted to establish the impact of menopause health education on quality of life (QoL) among menopausal women. Research suggests that specific educational programs can support and enable women during the physical and emotional transition through menopause. The CINAHL, Medline, APA, Embase and Google Scholar databases were searched between 30 November 2021 and 9 January 2022 using the PRISMA guidelines. The Cochrane risk of bias tool was used to critically evaluate the included studies. Review Manager software was used to conduct the meta-analysis of suitable studies. Eight papers were eligible for this review. The participants were aged between 40 and 60 years, with diagnosis of menopause stemming from changes in the menstrual cycle to a last menstrual period of 7 years. Follow-up data were collected between 1 and 4 months post education. Meta-analysis of both the primary outcome (QoL) and secondary outcome (symptom control) demonstrated statistically significant improvements post intervention. Papers not suitable for meta-analysis were reviewed narratively; two papers assessing the primary outcome (QoL) demonstrated an improvement, but only one to a statistically significant level. Secondary outcomes revealed improvements, with all bar one paper doing so to statistical significance. Menopause health education demonstrated an improvement in both QoL and symptom control in menopausal women; however, given some weaknesses in the included studies, further research is justified. Limitations include participants’ level of education, geographical location, risk of bias, that only half of the papers addressed participant use of hormone replacement therapy and length of follow-up.
The Impact of Star Formation and Gamma-Ray Burst Rates at High Redshift on Cosmic Chemical Evolution and Reionization

description: Recent observations in the total luminosity density have led to significant progress in establishing the star formation rate (SFR) at high redshift. Concurrently observed gamma-ray burst rates have also been used to extract the SFR at high redshift. The SFR in turn can be used to make a host of predictions concerning the ionization history of the Universe, the chemical abundances, and supernova rates. We compare the predictions made using a hierarchical model of cosmic chemical evolution based on three recently proposed SFRs: two based on extracting the SFR from the observed gamma-ray burst rate at high redshift, and one based on the observed galaxy luminosity function at high redshift. Using the WMAP/Planck data on the optical depth and epoch of reionization, we find that only the SFR inferred from gamma-ray burst data at high redshift suffices to allow a single mode (in the initial mass function) of star formation which extends from z = 0 to redshifts > 10. For the case of the more conservative SFR based on the observed galaxy luminosity function, the reionization history of the Universe requires a bimodal IMF which includes at least a coeval high (or intermediate) mass mode of star formation at high redshift (z> 10). Therefore, we also consider here a more general bimodal case which includes an early-forming high mass mode as a fourth model to test the chemical history of the Universe. We compute the abundances of several trace elements, as well as the expected supernova rates, the stellar mass density and the specific SFR, sSFR, as a function of redshift for each of the four models considered. We conclude that observational constraints on the global metallicity and optical depth at high redshift favor unseen faint but active star forming galaxies as pointed out in many recent studies.

description: Excerpts from the report Highlights: The evolution of the Nation 's fed beef industry since World War II has directed increased attention to problems associated with interregional adjustment. In this study of changing interregional economic relationships, the fed beef economy was conceived as a closely interrelated system of markets and supply areas. The analysis was confined within a carefully designed set of restrictive assumptions regarding underlying economic circumstances. These assumptions were systematically altered so that effects of specified situations or variables could be measured. The study confirms the widely accepted hypothesis that location and transportation costs are important determinants of competitive market power in interregional fed beef commerce.
