A differential rotation driven dynamo in a stably stratified star

Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We present numerical simulations of a self-sustaining magnetic field in a differentially rotating non-convective stellar interior. A weak initial field is wound up by the differential rotation; the resulting azimuthal field becomes unstable and produces a new meridional field component, which is then wound up anew, thus completing the `dynamo loop'. This effect is observed both with and without a stable stratification. A self-sustained field is actually obtained more easily in the presence of a stable stratification. The results confirm the analytical expectations of the role of Tayler instability.

description: Lattice vibrations in materials induce perturbations on the electron dynamics in the form of long-range (dipole and quadrupole) and short-range (octopole and higher) potentials. The dipole Fröhlich term can be included in current first-principles electron-phonon ($e$-ph) calculations and is present only in polar materials. The quadrupole $e$-ph interaction is present in both polar and nonpolar materials, but currently it cannot be computed from first principles. Here we show an approach to compute the quadrupole $e$-ph interaction and include it in ab initio calculations of $e$-ph matrix elements. The accuracy of the approach is demonstrated by comparing with direct density functional perturbation theory calculations. We apply our method to silicon as a case of a nonpolar semiconductor and tetragonal PbTiO$_3$ as a case of a polar piezoelectric material. In both materials we find that the quadrupole term strongly impacts the $e$-ph matrix elements. Analysis of $e$-ph interactions for different phonon modes reveals that the quadrupole term mainly affects optical modes in silicon and acoustic modes in PbTiO$_3$, although the quadrupole term is needed for all modes to achieve quantitative accuracy. The effect of the quadrupole $e$-ph interaction on electron scattering processes and transport is shown to be important. Our approach enables accurate studies of $e$-ph interactions in broad classes of nonpolar, polar and piezoelectric materials.

Excess Ionization and Soft X-ray Emission from Cooling Flow Clusters
Creators: name: Oh, S. Peng
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: X-ray spectroscopy of cooling-flow clusters reveal an unexpected deficit of soft X-ray emission lines from gas at ~1/3 of the ambient plasma temperature, across a wide range of X-ray luminosities and virial temperatures. We propose excess ionization from either a population of suprathermal electrons or photoionization by X-ray continuum emission from hot gas or a central AGN as a means of decoupling the thermal state of the gas from its emission line spectrum. The former effect is thought to operate in the solar corona. Because they generally become important at some fixed fraction of the cluster gas temperature, such mechanisms could in principle explain both the universality and temperature dependence of the emission line suppression, properties which none of the present-day models based on gas heating can explain. Ultimately these models cannot explain the observations; however, they have attractive and robust features which could be useful in elucidating a final solution to the soft X-ray deficit.

description: We present a semiclassical analysis of the instability of an electron shuttle composed of three quantum dots: two are fixed and coupled via leads to electron resevoirs at different chemical potentials, while the central dot is mounted on a classical harmonic oscillator. The semiclassical analysis, which is valid if the central dot oscillation amplitude is larger than the quantum mechanical zero point motion, can be used to gain additional insight about the relationship of resonances and instabilities of the device.

description: The characterization of helical states can be performed by checking the existence of the re-entrant behaviour, which appears as a dip in the conductance probed in nanowires (NWs) with strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and under perpendicular magnetic field. On the other hand, the experiment described in Ref. 1 observed the re-entrant behaviour in the absence of a magnetic field, which was explained through spin-flipping two-particle backscattering. We theoretically show that the observation of the re-entrant behaviour is due to a multi-channel scattering mechanism, which causes a reduction of the transmission when an effective attractive potential and coupling between different channels are present. Both ingredients are provided by the SOC in the transport properties of NWs.

description: Abstract: Early difficulties in engaging attentive brain states in social settings could affect learning and have cascading effects on social development. We investigated this possibility using multichannel electroencephalography during a face/non-face paradigm in 8-month-old infants with (FH, n = 91) and without (noFH, n = 40) a family history of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). An event-related potential component reflecting attention engagement, the Nc, was compared between FH infants who received a diagnosis of ASD at 3 years of age (FH-ASD; n = 19), FH infants who did not (FH-noASD; n = 72) and noFH infants (who also did not, hereafter noFH-noASD; n = 40). ‘Prototypical’ microstates during social attention were extracted from the noFH-noASD group and examined in relation to later categorical and dimensional outcome. Machine-learning was used to identify the microstate features that best predicted ASD and social adaptive skills at three years. Results suggested that whilst measures of brain state timing were related to categorical ASD outcome, brain state strength was related to dimensional measures of social functioning. Specifically, the FH-ASD group showed shorter Nc latency relative to other groups, and duration of the attentive microstate responses to faces was informative for categorical outcome prediction. Reduced Nc amplitude difference between faces with direct gaze and a non-social control stimulus and strength of the attentive microstate to faces contributed to the prediction of dimensional variation in social skills. Taken together, this provides consistent evidence that atypical attention engagement precedes the emergence of difficulties in socialization and indicates that using the spatio-temporal characteristics of whole-brain activation to define brain states in infancy provides an important new approach to understanding of the neurodevelopmental mechanisms that lead to ASD.
Indigenous Mexican migrant civil society in the US

Subjects: classificationCode: 44
subject: Human society

description: This essay explores the diversity within Mexican migrant civil society in the US. Multiple collective identities sustain distinct but sometimes overlapping translocal, regional, religious, civic, class-based and ethnic organizations. The point of departure is that our analytical frameworks need to catch up with this increasingly dense and diverse world of social actors. Both Mexican migrant and Mexican indigenous collective identities complicate widely held ideas about race, ethnicity and national identity. Though these three concepts are often used interchangeably when discussing Mexicans in the United States, race, ethnicity and national identity are not synonyms. If they are analytically distinct, where and when does one leave off and the other begin? When migrant and indigenous identities overlap, as in the case of indigenous Mexican migrants, these conceptual puzzles are sharpened. A comparative and hemispheric approach suggests that it is useful to look at the specific experiences and identities of indigenous Mexican migrants in the US through lenses that draw both from frameworks that focus on processes of racialization and from those that emphasize the social construction of collective identities based on ethnicity, region or religion. The essay is organized around a series of conceptual questions that emerged from the convergence between two long-term parallel UC Santa Cruz projects. The first is a faculty working group known as Hemispheric Dialogues, which tries to facilitate intellectual exchange by making conceptual assumptions explicit. 2 The second is an action-research partnership with the Oaxacan Indigenous Binational Front. 3 The essay concludes by stepping back to explore different dimensions of Mexican migrant civil society more generally through three concepts: transnationalism vs. long-distance nationalisms, parallel vs. simultaneous binationality, and the role of cross-border counterparts.

description: Abstract: Background: The faecal immunochemical test (FIT) was introduced to triage patients with low-risk symptoms of possible colorectal cancer in English primary care in 2017, underpinned by little primary care evidence. Methods: All healthcare providers in the South West of England (population 4 million) participated in this evaluation. 3890 patients aged ≥50 years presenting in primary care with low-risk symptoms of colorectal cancer had a FIT from 01/06/2018 to 31/12/2018. A threshold of 10 μg Hb/g faeces defined a positive test. Results: Six hundred and eighteen (15.9%) patients tested positive; 458 (74.1%) had an urgent referral to specialist lower gastrointestinal (GI) services within three months. Forty-three were diagnosed with colorectal cancer within 12 months. 3272 tested negative; 324 (9.9%) had an urgent referral within three months. Eight were diagnosed with colorectal cancer within 12 months. Positive predictive value was 7.0% (95% CI 5.1–9.3%). Negative predictive value was 99.8% (CI 99.5–99.9%). Sensitivity was 84.3% (CI 71.4–93.0%), specificity 85.0% (CI 83.8–86.1%). The area under the ROC curve was 0.92 (CI 0.86–0.96). A threshold of 37 μg Hb/g faeces would identify patients with an individual 3% risk of cancer. Conclusions: FIT performs exceptionally well to triage patients with low-risk symptoms of colorectal cancer in primary care; a higher threshold may be appropriate in the wake of the COVID-19 crisis.

description: Highly dynamic peri-urban areas, particularly in the Global South, face many challenges including a lack of infrastructure, ownership conflicts, land degradation, and sustainable food production. This study aims to assess spatial land use characteristics and processes in peri-urban areas using the case of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. A mixed-method approach was applied, consisting of expert interviews and spatial data analysis, on a local scale along an urban–rural gradient. Expert interviews were conducted during a field study and analyzed regarding the characteristics and processes of peri-urban land development. A GIS-based analysis of land use patterns was applied using satellite imagery and Open Street Map data to identify a number of variables, such as building density and proximity to environmental features. Results show specific patterns of land use indicators, which can be decreasing (e.g., house density), increasing (e.g., tree coverage), static (e.g., house size), or randomly distributed (e.g., distance to river), along a peri-urban gradient. Key findings identify lack of service structures and access to public transport as major challenges for the population of peri-urban areas. The combination of qualitative expert interviews and metrics-based quantitative spatial pattern analysis contributes to improved understanding of the patterns and processes in peri-urban land use changes.
Out-of-equilibrium quantum fields with conserved charge

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We study the out-of-equilibrium evolution of an O(2)-invariant scalar field in which a conserved charge is stored. We apply a loop expansion of the 2-particle irreducible effective action to 3-loop order. Equations of motion are derived which conserve both total charge and total energy yet allow for the effects of scattering whereby charge and energy can transfer between modes. Working in (1+1)-dimensions we solve the equations of motion numerically for a system knocked out of equilibrium by a sudden temperature quench. We examine the initial stages of the charge and energy redistribution. This provides a basis from which we can understand the formation of Bose-Einstein condensates from first principles.

description: Since the early 1970s, it has been clear that there is neither a single, universal method of foreign language teaching/learning nor a single, unified set of techniques that could guarantee all learners’ successful accomplishment of the complex task of language learning. Learners are different and, therefore, even the most thoroughly planned and well designed syllabuses or learning agendas cannot prove fully effective if we ignore the crucial issue of individual learner differences. Apart from the age factor, which determines human cognitive, linguistic, social, and emotional development, there are many other individual variables which seem to influence the learning process and its outcomes. These comprise the learner’s cognitive/learning styles and personality traits as well as his/her repertoire of strategies for language learning and use. In this series of three articles, the author presents an overview of research studies which show correlations between selected cognitive as well as affective factors and the learner’s individual choice and use of learning strategies. She also discusses implications for foreign language teaching/learning, focusing on the idea of learner strategy training.

description: We calculate the dephasing rate due to magnetic impurities in a weakly disordered metal as measured in a weak localization experiment. If the density n_S of magnetic impurities is sufficiently low, the dephasing rate 1/tau_phi is a universal function, 1/tau_phi = (n_S/nu) f(T/T_K), where T_K is the Kondo temperature and nu the density of states. We show that inelastic vertex corrections with a typical energy transfer Delta E are suppressed by powers of 1/(tau_phi Delta E) proportional to n_S. Therefore the dephasing rate can be calculated from the inelastic cross section proportional to pi nu Im T- |pi nu T|^2, where T is the T-matrix which is evaluated numerically exactly using the numerical renormalization group.

description: Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI) is a preclinical imaging technique capable of visualizing the spatio-temporal distribution of magnetic nanoparticles. The image reconstruction of this fast and dynamic process relies on efficiently solving an ill-posed inverse problem. Current approaches to reconstruct the tracer concentration from its measurements are either adapted to image characteristics of MPI but suffer from higher computational complexity and slower convergence or are fast but lack in the image quality of the reconstructed images. In this work we propose a novel MPI reconstruction method to combine the advantages of both approaches into a single algorithm. The underlying sparsity prior is based on an undecimated wavelet transform and is integrated into a fast row-action framework to solve the corresponding MPI minimization problem. Its performance is numerically evaluated against a classical FISTA approach on simulated and real MPI data. We also compare the results to the state-of-the-art MPI reconstruction methods. In all cases, our approach shows better reconstruction results and at the same time accelerates the convergence rate of the underlying row-action algorithm.

description: This paper “maps” the diverse patterns of Mexican migrant social, civic and political participation in the US, reviews current research and poses analytical questions informed by a binational perspective. While some migrants are more engaged with organizations focused on the US, others participate more in groups that are concerned with Mexico. At the same time, some Mexican migrants are working to become full members of both US and Mexican society, constructing practices of "civic binationality" that have a great deal to teach us about new forms of immigrant integration into US society. These different forms of participation are analyzed through the conceptual lens of “migrant civil society,” which includes four migrant-led arenas: membership organizations, NGOs, communications media and autonomous public spheres. This focus could help to understand changing patterns of naturalization among Mexican permanent residents, and can help to inform balanced cross-sectoral coalition-building strategies. More generally, a binational approach can help to understand migrants’ distinctive perspectives, priorities and organizing repertoires -- in other words, “where they are coming from.”

The objective of the reported survey was to diagnose occupational situation and educational status of parents of children with intellectual disability. The survey was conducted in May of 2009 and covered 136 families from the city of Biała Podlaska. The study demonstrated that nearly half the fathers and mothers had only primary or vocational education. As the type of work performed the respondents most frequently declared different forms of physical work as well as retirement pension, social pension and, unfortunately, a lack of any job. It should be emphasized that this condition may afford no possibilities for complete development of a handicapped child.

description: In the article reasons behind searching for life partners, the most important values/factors deciding of the other sex attractiveness, ways of behaviour of partners remaining in a close interpersonal relationship, preferred strategies of behaviour in conflict situation as well as reasons of interpersonal relationships breakdown were reported. Women more often than men mentioned easing the feeling of loneliness as a reason for beginning interpersonal relationships, whereas men more often listed maximising pleasures and minimising dissatisfaction. Both sexes considered personal traits of a life partner as very important. Assessing attractiveness of the partner, men’s attention was attracted by appearance and beauty of women, whereas social and material status of men was more important to women. The main reasons for misunderstanding and breakdown of relationships was an attempt to impose own will and character differences. Both people creating relationships and long term couples may benefit from the results of these studies.

Significant investment was made into sport and physical education in preparation for the Games. However the 2012 Health Survey England survey still found that 75% of 5-7 year olds failed to meet the UK Chief Medical Officers' recommendations for daily physical activity (Eastwood, 2014:36). Current literature identifies a range of motivations associated with physical activity and adolescents. There is a gap in child-centred research which reports what motivates children aged 5-11 years to be physically active. The aims of this small-scale qualitative study are to help fill those gaps and increase understanding of how one group of 5-11 year olds experience physical activity in their free-choice time. An ethnomethodology and child-centred methods of data collection and analysis are used in order to build understanding from what children themselves do and say. Research is carried out with children in their holiday Activity Camp which offers a choice of screen-based, arts and crafts and sport activities. The children are observed, video and audio recorded whilst active. Photographs and drawings that they prepare about their Activity Camp are analysed and unstructured photo-elicited interviews carried out. Findings are compared with two theoretical models for encouraging participation in physical activity underpinned by Self-Determination Theory. The Sport Education Model (SEM) focuses upon PE and school sport and the Development Model for Sport Participation (DMSP) upon sport and active recreation. It was found that this group of children experienced physical activity through socialising and exploiting their activity environment resulting in a high level of active creative play and some ‘playing at’ traditional sports. Many of the recommendations of the SEM and DMSP appear to be applicable to children’s free-choice physical activity and worthy of further research in pursuit of a more active new generation.
Migrant civic engagement

description: The spring, 2006 wave of immigrant rights mobilizations represents a watershed in the history of civic engagement in the US. Never before had so many foreign born literally “come out” for the right to be included in the US. Indeed, in many cities, never before had so many taken to the streets for any cause. Practitioners involved in the policy debate, scholars who measure immigrant political opinion, as well as migrant leaders themselves were all caught off guard. This raises questions about the social foundations of the marches – what kinds of social and civic practices, networks and organizations made them possible? To provide at least part of the answer, this chapter introduces the concepts of “civic binationality” and “migrant civil society,” which provide frameworks for understanding the already-existing patterns of migrant organization that came together at this unusual historical turning point. “Civic binationality” refers to practices that are engaged both with US civic life and with migrants’ communities and countries of origin. The related concept of “migrant civil society” refers to migrant-led membership organizations and public institutions (which may not be engaged with communities of origin). The goal of this latter concept is to underscore the significance of migrant capacity for self-representation. The recognition of practices of migrant civic binationality, grounded in an emerging migrant civil society, helps us to understand the patterns of civic engagement and repertoires of action that inform migrant participation in US society. The point of departure here is that, at least for many adult migrants, their initiation into civic life either takes place in their country of origin, or is oriented toward their country of origin. As many analysts of civic engagement have long noted, the best predictor of civic involvement of any kind is past involvement –even if in a completely different arena. 1Apparently, some people are more likely to be joiners than others – across cultures. From this perspective, the kind of civic engagement witnessed on a mass scale in the spring of 2006 was in part grounded in longstanding, often low profile practices of migrant civic binationality. At the same time, the 2006 marches constitute a powerful indicator that millions of immigrants have also been fully transplanted into the US public sphere, followed by subsequent increases in naturalization and voter turnout among “new Americans”in 2008.
A qualitative study of an anaerobic food-web reveals the importance of hydrogen for microbial stability

description: The mathematical analysis of a three-tiered food-web describing anaerobic chlorophenol mineralisation has suggested the emergence of interesting dynamical behaviour through its specific ecological interactions, which include competition, syntrophy and product inhibition. Previous numerical analyses have revealed the possibility for a Hopf bifurcation occurring through the interior equilibrium and the role of extraneous substrate inputs in both mitigating the emergence of periodic solutions and expanding the desired stable positive steady-state, where full mineralisation occurs. Here we show that, for a generalised model, the inflow of multiple substrates results in greater dynamical complexity and prove the occurrence of a supercritical Hopf bifurcation resulting from variations in these operating parameters. Further, using numerical estimation, we also show that variations in the dilution rate can lead to Bogdanov-Takens and Bautin bifurcations. Finally, we are able to show apply persistence theory for a range of parameter sets to demonstrate unique persistence in the cases where chlorophenol and hydrogen are extraneously added to the system, mirroring recent applied studies highlighting the role of hydrogen in maintaining stable anaerobic microbial communities.

description: Through the “Open Access Publication Funding” programme, the German Research Foundation (DFG) is providing scientific institutions with financial support for open access publication fees. One of the programme’s key objectives is to enable a system of transparent monitoring of publication fees at scientific institutions, with the intent to leverage to the national and international level. The monitoring of these publications and associated costs has been established since 2022. Data collection is based on the submission of data from funded institutions in an ongoing process that is subject to changes and adjustments. Criticism and suggestions from the participants were collected in the Transform2Open project, and have been incorporated as far as possible into the data schema and the submission process for the second and subsequent reporting years. At the same time, adjustments were made to the data schema in collaboration with the openCost project in order to facilitate the transfer of data to other systems, mainly OpenAPC. Decisive steps have thus been taken towards a unified, standardized publication and cost monitoring system. This can simplify the reporting process for institutions and is an important tool for drawing up and monitoring an information budget.

description: This work is a proposal for an experimental platform to observe quantum fictitious anticentrifugal force. We present an analytical and numerical treatment of a rectangular toroidal dielectric waveguide. Solving the Helmholtz equation we obtain analytical solutions for transverse spatial modes and estimate their number as a function of system characteristics. On top of that, the analysis of the structure was extended onto a real material platform, a thin film lithium niobate on an insulator rib waveguide. The framework presented here can be directly applied to analyze the phenomenon of quantum anti-centrifugal force.
title: The Diversity Landscape of Plasmodium falciparum var Genes

description: Plasmodium falciparum Erythrocyte Membrane Protein 1 (PfEMP1) is an important group of cytoadhesive multi-domain Plasmodium falciparum surface antigens that are inserted onto the surface of infected erythrocytes and are encoded by the var multi-gene family. PfEMP1 antigens are thought to be important targets of naturally acquired immunity to malaria. This thesis describes nucleotide variation in DBLα sequence tags, a semi-conserved region within the DBLα domain that can be PCR amplified using universal primers. PfEMP1 can be classified using a number of approaches some of which are associated with particular expression patterns in severe, non-severe and asymptomatic malaria. This work compared the classification approaches with an aim of understanding the extent of overlap or discordance between them. To explore non-random distribution of variation in respect to var’s functional specialization, a clustering approach was developed and applied in exploring patterns of nucleotide variation among var subsets from different geographical locations in addition to distribution of predicted B and T-cell epitopes among the var subsets. In summary the sequences showed distinct patterns of nucleotide substitution that suggests that var sequences are under both diversifying and purifying selection.
