Globular clusters

description: Until a few years ago globular clusters (GCs) were considered the prototypes of simple stellar populations, composed of coeval stars with same chemical composition. Indeed, their color-magnitude diagrams (CMDs), including those diagrams obtained from high-precision Hubble Space Telescope (HST) photometry, were similar to single isochrones. Thanks to innovative techniques of photometric data reduction and new color combinations sensitive to chemical differences among stars, it has been discovered that GCs are much more complex than previously thought: all the evolutionary phases of their CMDs contain indeed multiple distinct sequences that correspond to stellar populations with different content of light-elements and helium. GCs therefore host multiple stellar populations, including a first population with the same chemical composition of halo field stars at the same metallicity, and one or more second populations enhanced in He, N, and Na and depleted in C and O. One of the most unexpected discoveries, mostly based on evolved red giant branch (RGB) stars of more than 50 GCs, is that the first population is not chemically homogeneous. With the aim of shedding new light on this phenomenon, we combined multi-band HST photometry of GCs and synthetic spectra analysis techniques, to investigate for the first time chemical variations among unevolved main sequence (MS) stars. We present here the results of NGC 6362 and discuss the implications on the chemical composition of the pristine material from which they formed.

Quantum Theory at the Crossroads: Reconsidering the 1927 Solvay Conference

description: We reconsider the crucial 1927 Solvay conference in the context of current research in the foundations of quantum theory. Contrary to folklore, the interpretation question was not settled at this conference and no consensus was reached; instead, a range of sharply conflicting views were presented and extensively discussed. Today, there is no longer an established or dominant interpretation of quantum theory, so it is important to re-evaluate the historical sources and keep the interpretation debate open. In this spirit, we provide a complete English translation of the original proceedings (lectures and discussions), and give background essays on the three main interpretations presented: de Broglie's pilot-wave theory, Born and Heisenberg's quantum mechanics, and Schroedinger's wave mechanics. We provide an extensive analysis of the lectures and discussions that took place, in the light of current debates about the meaning of quantum theory. The proceedings contain much unexpected material, including extensive discussions of de Broglie's pilot-wave theory (which de Broglie presented for a many-body system), and a "quantum mechanics" apparently lacking in wave function collapse or fundamental time evolution. We hope that the book will contribute to the ongoing revival of research in quantum foundations, as well as stimulate a reconsideration of the historical development of quantum physics. A more detailed description of the book may be found in the Preface. (Copyright by Cambridge University Press (ISBN: 9780521814218).)

description: (abridged) We present panoramic Spitzer MIPS 24um observations covering 9x9Mpc (25'x25') fields around two massive clusters, Cl0024+16 and MS0451-03, at z=0.39 and z=0.55. Our observations cover a very wide range of environments within these clusters, from high-density regions around the cores out to the turn-around radius. Cross-correlating the mid-infrared catalogs with deep optical and near-infrared imaging of these fields, we investigate the optical/near-infrared colors of the mid-infrared sources. We find excesses of mid-infrared sources with optical/near-infrared colors expected of cluster members in the two clusters and test this selection using spectroscopically confirmed 24um members. The much more significant excess is associated with Cl0024+16, whereas MS0451-03 has comparatively few mid-infrared sources. The mid-infrared galaxy population in Cl0024+16 appears to be associated with dusty star-forming galaxies (typically redder than the general cluster population by up to A_V~1-2 mags) rather than emission from dusty tori around active galactic nuclei (AGN) in early-type hosts. The inferred total-infrared star-formation rates in Cl0024+16 are typically >5x greater than those found from a similar Halpha survey, indicating significant obscured activity in the cluster population. We find evidence for strong evolution of the level of dust-obscured star-formation in dense environments out to z=0.5, analogous to the rise in fraction of optically-selected star-forming galaxies seen in clusters and the field out to similar redshifts. However, there are clearly significant cluster-to-cluster variations in the populations of mid-infrared sources, probably reflecting differences in the intracluster media and recent dynamical evolution of these systems.

Estimating Power Spectrum of Sunyaev-Zeldovich Effect from the Cross-Correlation between WMAP and 2MASS

description: We estimate the power spectrum of SZ(Sunyaev-Zel'dovich)-effect-induced temperature fluctuations on sub-degree scales by using the cross correlation between the three-year WMAP maps and 2MASS galaxy distribution. We produced the SZ effect maps by hydrodynamic simulation samples of the $Λ$CDM model, and show that the SZ effect temperature fluctuations are highly non-Gaussian. The PDF of the temperature fluctuations has a long tail. More than 70% power of the SZ effect temperature fluctuations attributes to top $\sim 1%$ wavelet modes (long tail events). On the other hand, the CMB temperature fluctuations basically are Gaussian. Although the mean power of CMB temperature fluctuations on sub-degree scales is much higher than that of SZ effect map, the SZ effect temperature fluctuations associated with top 2MASS clusters is comparable to the power of CMB temperature fluctuations on the same scales. Thus, from noisy WMAP maps, one can have a proper estimation of the SZ effect power at the positions of the top 2MASS clusters. The power spectrum given by these top wavelet modes is useful to constrain the parameter of density fluctuations amplitude $σ_8$. We find that the power spectrum of these top wavelet modes of SZ effect on sub-degree scales basically is consistent with the simulation maps produced with $σ_8=0.84$. The simulation samples of $σ_8=0.74$ show, however, significant deviation from detected SZ power spectrum. It can be ruled out with confidence level 99% if all other cosmological parameters are the same as that given by the three-year WMAP results.

This instrument can serve as a prototype of the ultra-long-wavelength radiotelescope for observations on the farside of the Moon. Our analysis of experimental data is based on simultaneous records obtained with the antenna arrays GURT and NDA in high frequency and time resolution, e-Callisto network as well as by using the space-based observatories STEREO and WIND. The results from this observational study confirm the model of Reid and Kontar (2017).

description: Applying squashing transformation to Kerr-Godel black hole solutions, we present a new type of a rotating Kaluza-Klein black hole solution to the five-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell theory with a Chern-Simon term. The new solutions generated via the squashing transformation have no closed timelike curve everywhere outside the black hole horizons. At the infinity, the metric asymptotically approaches a twisted S^1 bundle over a four-dimensional Minkowski space-time. One of the remarkable features is that the solution has two independent rotation parameters along an extra dimension associated with the black hole's rotation and the Godel's rotation. The space-time also admits the existence of two disconnected ergoregions, an inner ergoregion and an outer ergoregion. These two ergoregions can rotate in the opposite direction as well as in the same direction.

description: Rural America's economy in 1980-89 had a hard time keeping up with the urban economy and continued to undergo industrial restructuring, key indicators show. Nonmetro employment growth lagged growth in urban areas during that period. Job losses early in the 1980's, and slow growth afterwards, limited economic opportunities and led to declining relative incomes, higher poverty rates, and slow population growth in parts of rural America. These economic conditions reflect both the cyclical downturn in the early 1980's and continued restructuring that has affected traditional rural industries.

description: Στόχος της παρούσας εργασίας είναι η μείωση του χρόνου κατασκευής του φέροντος οργανισμού των ψηλών κτιριακών έργων από σκυρόδεμα με απώτερο στόχο τη μείωση του χρόνου κατασκευής του συνολικού έργου. Η μείωση στο χρόνο κατασκευής πραγματοποιείται κυρίως μέσω της αφαίρεσης των δοκών από το φέροντα οργανισμό των πολυωρόφων χωρικών συστημάτων (μυκητοειδής πλάκα) και της αξιοποίησης σύγχρονων δυνατοτήτων της επιστήμης των δομικών υλικών (χρήση των σκυροδεμάτων ταχείας εκδήλωσης της αντοχής). Ο απαιτούμενος χρόνος για την κατασκευή ενός ορόφου ανέρχεται στις 4 ημέρες, χωρίς τη μείωση της αντισεισμικής ασφάλειας του έργου ενώ παράλληλα επιτυγχάνεται βελτίωση των υπολοίπων παραμέτρων σχεδιασμού του έργου της οικονομίας, της λειτουργικότητας και αισθητικής. Συνεπώς, το οπλισμένο σκυρόδεμα είναι δυνατόν να χρησιμοποιηθεί σε περιπτώσεις κτιριακών έργων όπου απαιτείται υψηλή ταχύτητα κατασκευής, καθώς ο χάλυβας δεν αποτελεί πλέον τη μοναδική εναλλακτική που συνδέεται με την ταχύτητα κατασκευής. Ο κύριος του έργου αλλά και ο ανάδοχος είναι δυνατόν με βάση τις προαναφερθείσες δυνατότητες να ωφεληθούν σημαντικά. Η ελάττωση του χρόνου κατασκευής συνδέεται άμεσα με τη μείωση του κόστους της κατασκευαστικής διαδικασίας ενώ η νωρίτερη ολοκλήρωση του έργου προσφέρει ιδιαιτέρως ελκυστικά πλεονεκτήματα.
description: The purpose of the present dissertation is the reduction of the construction time in the structural system of a tall concrete building with the higher goal of reducing the time required for the construction of the whole project. This reduction can be achieved mainly by removing the beams of a multi-storey building (flat slab) and by using modern science achievements in the field of materials (concretes with high manifestation of their strength). The time required for the construction of one floor is about 4 days. In this way it is easy to improve the economy, the functionality and the aesthetics of the final project without losing any earthquake protection. Thus, reinforcement concrete can be used in buildings’ projects where the speed of the construction process is of a high priority. Steel is no more the only alternative solution in such cases. The owner and the contractor of the project can both be benefited by using these techniques for many reasons. The reduction of the construction time can affect the cost of the project by reducing it, while the earlier completion of the whole project offers serious advantages.

The drug formulary approval process in select Canadian hospitals
Creators: name: D’Sa, Mel Matthew
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: One of the many responsibilities of the profession of pharmacy is to serve as a gatekeeper for pharmaceuticals. In contemporary hospital practice one way that pharmacy fulfills this responsibility is through its involvement in the multidisciplinary pharmacy and therapeutics (P&T) committee. By using a formulary system, a P&T committee generates a drug formulary. In essence, a drug formulary is a restricted drug list that reflects the current clinical judgement of the medical staff. It also represents a list of drugs approved for use within a hospital. However, research in the literature has identified various influences of a political, organizational, societal, legal, professional, and economic nature that have the potential to impact on the drug formulary approval process. The attitudes and opinions of key clinical decision makers such as pharmacy directors and P&T committee chairs concerning the drug formulary approval process have not been documented in the Canadian literature. This study reports the results of a national mail survey conducted to examine the attitudes and opinions of select hospital pharmacy directors and P&T committee chairs with respect to the current and future drug formulary approval process. Also obtained was information concerning demographic and organizational aspects of a large number of hospitals. The hypothesis tested is that pharmacy directors and P&T committee chairs do not believe that the drug formulary approval process will demonstrably change in the next five to ten years. Also, identified items in the literature are not expected to have significant influence on the future process. It appears that the drug formulary approval process in Canadian hospitals is a function of many underlying influences. The actual process itself is not expected to change. However, various influences, especially those of an economic nature, are expected to significantly impact the future process. Findings have implications for health care professionals, hospitals, hospital P&T committees, governments, thirdparty payers, drug companies, and pharmaceutical industry analysts.

Optimization shows these structures could constitute interesting monochromatic filters.

description: The remarkable progress in the field of economics the last few years has shaken the foundation of the Greek society, causing alterations to basic parameters such as occupation, education and social profile of the people that constitute it. Sociology examines these parameters through occupational, educational and social mobility in order to explore the dynamic of these changes and their consequences to the wider community. Within this dissertation we are studying the occupational and social mobility in the Municipality of Aiani. The sample calculation is based on snowball sampling, while the sample survey has been conducted through the method of interview.
Joint Design and Separation Principle for Opportunistic Spectrum Access in the Presence of Sensing Errors

description: We address the design of opportunistic spectrum access (OSA) strategies that allow secondary users to independently search for and exploit instantaneous spectrum availability. Integrated in the joint design are three basic components: a spectrum sensor that identifies spectrum opportunities, a sensing strategy that determines which channels in the spectrum to sense, and an access strategy that decides whether to access based on imperfect sensing outcomes. We formulate the joint PHY-MAC design of OSA as a constrained partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP). Constrained POMDPs generally require randomized policies to achieve optimality, which are often intractable. By exploiting the rich structure of the underlying problem, we establish a separation principle for the joint design of OSA. This separation principle reveals the optimality of myopic policies for the design of the spectrum sensor and the access strategy, leading to closed-form optimal solutions. Furthermore, decoupling the design of the sensing strategy from that of the spectrum sensor and the access strategy, the separation principle reduces the constrained POMDP to an unconstrained one, which admits deterministic optimal policies. Numerical examples are provided to study the design tradeoffs, the interaction between the spectrum sensor and the sensing and access strategies, and the robustness of the ensuing design to model mismatch.

description: We propose a versatile optical ring lattice suitable for trapping cold and quantum degenerate atomic samples at discrete angular positions. We demonstrate the realisation of intensity patterns generated from Laguerre-Gauss ($\exp(i \ellθ)$) modes with different $\ell$ indices. The ring lattice can have either intensity maxima or minima, suitable for trapping in red or blue detuned light, and it can be rotated by introducing a frequency shift between the Laguerre Gauss modes. The potential wells can be joined to form a uniform ring trap, making it ideal for studying persistent currents and the Mott insulator transition in a ring geometry.

description: Low energy $β$-detected nuclear magnetic resonance ($β$-NMR) was used to investigate the spatial dependence of the hyperfine magnetic fields induced by Fe in the nonmagnetic Ag of an Au(40 Å)/Ag(200 Å)/Fe(140 Å) (001) magnetic multilayer (MML) grown on GaAs. The resonance lineshape in the Ag layer shows dramatic broadening compared to intrinsic Ag. This broadening is attributed to large induced magnetic fields in this layer by the magnetic Fe layer. We find that the induced hyperfine field in the Ag follows a power law decay away from the Ag/Fe interface with power $-1.93(8)$, and a field extrapolated to $0.23(5)$ T at the interface.

Τα πυρομαχικά αυτά θεωρούνταν για μεγάλο χρονικό διάστημα παράνομα από το Διεθνές Ανθρωπιστικό Δίκαιο για λόγους που αναφέρονται αναλυτικά εντός της διατριβής. Στη συνέχεια εξετάστηκε η Συνθήκη κατά άρθρο και αναλύθηκαν οι σημαντικότερες υποχρεώσεις που προβλέπονται από τα Κράτη. Επιπλέον, έγινε αναφορά στα θύματα των όπλων αυτών και στις προβλέψεις για την περίθαλψή τους. Τέλος, αναλύθηκε η νομική επίλυση των διαφορών που είναι δυνατόν να προκύψουν και το πώς βοηθά η Συνθήκη στον παγκόσμιο αφοπλισμό.
description: The aim of the present thesis was the study of the 2008 Dublin Convention for the prohibition of cluster munitions. For many years, cluster munitions were considered as illegal according to the International Humanitarian Law for reasons that are referred. Moreover, I examined all the articles of the Convention and I insisted on the most important provisions of the obligations of the State Members. Furthermore, reference was made to victims of cluster munitions and the provisions of their relief. Finally, there is an analysis of the settlement of disputes that may arise and a short estimation of the disarmament role of this Conention.
The rational basis of critique
Creators: name: Pierlot, Mark Lorne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The main question I address in this thesis is whether critique of norms and social practices has theoretical underpinnings. A derivative question is whether the idea of "progress" can be philosophically justified. Habermas answers these questions in the affirmative with his construal of communicative rationality, which he argues provides the theoretical basis for critique. He believes that critique needs a rational basis to distinguish it from mere de facto acceptance. Furthermore, he believes that this critique-generating rationality is already operative in everyday communicative practice, albeit in attenuated form. Communicative action is rational insofar as it consists in defending claims on the basis of their validity. Such action thus has determinate rational presuppositions. Habermas's main task is to lay bare these presuppositions in order to show that critique has a substantive rational basis. Rorty answers the leading questions in the negative. He contends that while critical practices are operative, they do not need theoretical support, particularly not from any theory of rationality such as Habermas's. According to Rorty, it simply makes no pragmatic difference to critical practice whether or not such practice is considered to be theoretically grounded in any rational conceptions such as validity, justification or truth. My contention is that Habermas's theory of rationality, suitably pragmatically attenuated, provides a more substantive basis for critique than does Rorty's pragmatism. This implies that I hold that theory has an important role to play in critical practice. I have structured the thesis as follows. In the Introduction I present the main philosophical concepts Habermas uses, including his hermeneutic construal of justification, and describe his transcendental argumentative strategy. In Chapter One I lay out his "theory of rationality." This includes tracing the history of the development of the theory and giving Habermas's supporting arguments for it. In Chapter Three I present Rorty's contextualist objections to the theory, which hinge on scepticism concerning the need for theoretical notions in critical practice. In Chapter Four I give Habermas's rebuttal to contextualism and pragmatically reinterpret Habermas's theory in light of Rorty's objections. Finally, in Chapter Five I conclude that the "pragmatized theory of rationality" demonstrates that critique needs theoretical underpinnings.

description: The tools of optimal estimation are applied to the study of subgrid models for Large-Eddy Simulation of turbulence. The concept of optimal estimator is introduced and its properties are analyzed in the context of applications to a priori tests of subgrid models. Attention is focused on the Cook and Riley model in the case of a scalar field in isotropic turbulence. Using DNS data, the relevance of the beta assumption is estimated by computing (i) generalized optimal estimators and (ii) the error brought by this assumption alone. Optimal estimators are computed for the subgrid variance using various sets of variables and various techniques (histograms and neural networks). It is shown that optimal estimators allow a thorough exploration of models. Neural networks are proved to be relevant and very efficient in this framework, and further usages are suggested.

Can Health System Engagement Facilitate Greater Utilization of Genetic Tests to Predict Cancer Risk? A Health Disparities Exploration of National Survey Data
Creators: name: Semprini, Jason

description: Objective: To estimate the effect health system engagement on a woman’s awareness of and decision to complete a genetic test to predict cancer risk. Background: Young African American women face a higher risk of breast cancer mortality than white women. To mitigate this disparity, clinicians have developed predictive risk assessment and stratified screening protocols based on genetic tests. However, African American women have historically been underrepresented in genetic test utilization. If the trend of low genetic test participation continues, potential health gains from precision medicine will be limited or unrealized, further expanding the Black/White breast cancer mortality disparity. Significance: While previous investigators have made numerous attempts to better understand the Black/White disparity in genetic testing, this study directly analyzes racial disparities in genetic test exposure and utilization through health system engagement using the latest population-level survey dataset. Methods: Data was obtained from the nationally representative, cross-sectional National Health Interview Surveys for years 2000, 2005, 2010, and 2015. Outcomes included: 1) awareness of a genetic test; 2) genetic test utilization, conditional on awareness; 3) discussing a genetic test with a medical provider; and 4) unconditional genetic test utilization. Weighted odds ratios were calculated by a series of multivariate logistic regression models. Independent variables included various socioeconomic and demographic indicators, as well as health system factors. Results: White women with a usual place of medical care held significantly higher odds of genetic test awareness and of discussing a genetic test with a medical provider (OR = 2.16, p < .001; OR = 5.34, p < .05). Conversely, a usual place of medical care was not found to heighten awareness or facilitate greater discussion with a medical provider for African American women. Consistent with this trend, only among white women did a consistent place of medical care yield a positive effect on genetic test utilization (OR = 2.53, p

description: The genetic basis of complex diseases involves alterations on multiple genes. Unravelling the interplay between these genetic factors is key to the discovery of new biomarkers and treatments. In 2014, we introduced GUILDify, a web server that searches for genes associated to diseases, finds novel disease-genes applying various network-based prioritisation algorithms and proposes candidate drugs. Here, we present GUILDify v2.0, a major update and improvement of the original method, where we have included protein interaction data for seven species and 22 human tissues and incorporated the disease-gene associations from DisGeNET. To infer potential disease relationships associated with multi-morbidities, we introduced a novel feature for estimating the genetic and functional overlap of two diseases using the top-ranking genes and the associated enrichment of biological functions and pathways (as defined by GO and Reactome). The analysis of this overlap helps to identify the mechanistic role of genes and protein-protein interactions in comorbidities. Finally, we provided an R package, guildifyR, to facilitate programmatic access to GUILDify v2.0 (http://sbi.upf.edu/guildify2). The research has been recently published in Journal of Molecular Biology (doi: 10.1016/j.jmb.2019.02.027).

description: Relying on the idea that back-of-the-book indexes are traditional devices for navigation through large documents, we have developed a method to build a hypertextual network that helps the navigation in a document. Building such an hypertextual network requires selecting a list of descriptors, identifying the relevant text segments to associate with each descriptor and finally ranking the descriptors and reference segments by relevance order. We propose a specific document segmentation method and a relevance measure for information ranking. The algorithms are tested on 4 corpora (of different types and domains) without human intervention or any semantic knowledge.

description: Quantum simulations of complex fermionic systems suffer from a variety of challenging problems. In an effort to circumvent these challenges, simpler ``semi-classical'' approaches have been used to mimic fermionic correlations through a fictitious ``Pauli potential''. In this contribution we examine two issues. First, we address some of the inherent difficulties in a widely used version of the Pauli potential. Second, we refine such a potential in a manner consistent with the most basic properties of a cold Fermi gas, such as its momentum distribution and its two-body correlation function.

Skip sequencing: A decision problem in questionnaire design

Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Applications (stat.AP)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: This paper studies questionnaire design as a formal decision problem, focusing on one element of the design process: skip sequencing. We propose that a survey planner use an explicit loss function to quantify the trade-off between cost and informativeness of the survey and aim to make a design choice that minimizes loss. We pose a choice between three options: ask all respondents about an item of interest, use skip sequencing, thereby asking the item only of respondents who give a certain answer to an opening question, or do not ask the item at all. The first option is most informative but also most costly. The use of skip sequencing reduces respondent burden and the cost of interviewing, but may spread data quality problems across survey items, thereby reducing informativeness. The last option has no cost but is completely uninformative about the item of interest. We show how the planner may choose among these three options in the presence of two inferential problems, item nonresponse and response error.
