description: The high redshift galaxy MS1512-cB58 (z=2.724, m_V=20.64) has been observed with the very efficient high resolution echelle spectrograph VLT/UVES. Although this is a very challenging observational program for a Southern hemisphere telescope (the galaxy is located at +36 deg declination), high resolution spectra (FWHM ~ 26 km/s) have revealed, with unprecedented detail along a galaxy sight line, the Lyman-alpha forest due to intervening clouds in the intergalactic medium (IGM). The mean depression D_A due to IGM absorption blueward of the galaxy Ly-alpha wavelength and the number density dn/dz of Ly-alpha clouds have been compared with equivalent results obtained for QSO sight lines at similar redshifts. Our results indicate a possible excess of absorption close to the galaxy. The mean depression at ~ 150 h_65^-1 Mpc comoving (Omega_m=0.3, Omega_Lambda=0.7) from the galaxy is D_A=0.36+/-0.03, to be compared with 0.22+/-0.04, expected from a best fit to QSO sight lines. In the same region (z=2.610), the number density of lines with HI column density in excess of 10^14 atoms/cm2 is also about 3 sigma larger than expected. This high density region is at least 60 h_65^-1 Mpc comoving wide, but the large Ly-alpha absorption of the galaxy itself prevents us from detecting a possible structure extending down to the galaxy. This excess of Ly-alpha clouds is suggestive of two possible scenarios. One is the presence of a super cluster of Ly-alpha clouds not associated with cB58. The other is a high density of gas associated with the environment of cB58. Indeed, a hint of the complexity of cB58 and possibly its environment is given by the huge velocity range (almost 1000 km/s) between the optical emission of star forming regions and UV absorption of its interstellar medium.

description: We present a new ansatz which can successfully be used to determine the morphological properties of the supercluster-void network. The ansatz is based on a surface modelling scheme SURFGEN, which generates a triangulated surface from a discrete data set representing (say) the distribution of galaxies in real (or redshift) space. Four Minkowski functionals -- surface area, volume, extrinsic curvature and genus -- describe the geometry and topology of the supercluster-void network. Ratio's of Minkowski functionals -- Shapefinders -- provide us with an excellent diagnostic of three dimensional shapes of clusters, superclusters and voids. Minkowski functionals and Shapefinders are determined for a triangulated iso-density surface using SURFGEN. SURFGEN is tested against both simply and multiply connected eikonal surfaces such as triaxial ellipsoids and tori. Remarkably, the first three Minkowski functionals are computed to better than 1% accuracy while the fourth (genus) is known exactly. SURFGEN also gives excellent results when applied to Gaussian random fields. Our results indicate that the surface modelling scheme SURFGEN is accurate and robust and can successfully be used to quantify the topology and morphology of the supercluster-void network in the universe. We apply SURFGEN to three cosmological models, $Ł$CDM, $\T$CDM and SCDM and obtain interesting new results pertaining to the geometry, morphology and topology of large scale structure.

Large Equivalent width Lyman-alpha line emission at z=4.5: young galaxies in a young universe

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: The Large Area Lyman Alpha survey has found ~ 150 Lyman-alpha emitters at z=4.5. While stellar models predict a maximum Lyman-alpha equivalent width (EW) of 240 angstrom, 60% of the Lyman-alpha emitters have EWs exceeding this value. We attempt to model the observed EW distribution by combining stellar population models with an extrapolation of Lyman break galaxy luminosity function at z=4, incorporating observational selection effects and Malmquist bias. To reproduce the high EWs seen in the sample we need to postulate a stellar initial mass function (IMF) with extreme slope alpha = 0.5 (instead of 2.35); zero metallicity stars; or narrow-lined active galactic nuclei. The models also reveal that only 7.5-15% of galaxies need show Lyman-alpha emission to explain the observed number counts. This raises the possibility that either star-formation in high redshift galaxies is episodic or the Lyman-alpha galaxies we are seeing are the youngest 7.5-15% and that Lyman-alpha is strongly quenched by dust at about 10 Mega-years of age.

description: We provide a new extension of general relativity (GR) which has the remarkable property of being more constrained than GR plus a cosmological constant, having one less free parameter. This is implemented by allowing the cosmological constant to have a consistent space-time variation, through coding its dynamics in the torsion tensor. We demonstrate this mechanism by adding a `quasi-topological' term to the Einstein action, which naturally realizes a dynamical torsion with an automatic satisfaction of the Bianchi identities. Moreover, variation of the action with respect to this dynamical $Λ$ fixes it in terms of other variables, thus providing a scenario with less freedom than general relativity with a cosmological constant. Once matter is introduced, at least in the homogeneous and isotropic reduction, $Λ$ is uniquely determined by the field content of the model. We make an explicit construction using the Palatini formulation of GR and describe the striking properties of this new theory. We also highlight some possible extensions to the theory. A companion paper [1] explores the Friedmann--Robertson--Walker reduction for cosmology, and future work will study Solar System tests of the theory.

description: Malaria causes substantial morbidity and mortality worldwide. Although there has been a considerable decline in global malaria incidence and mortality rates since 2000, it is estimated that more than 400,000 deaths occurred in 2015 as a result of this parasitic disease. The lack of a broadly effective licensed vaccine and the threat of malaria parasite resistance to current drugs means there is an urgent need for the development of new therapies with novel parasite targets. With a renewed call for global malaria eradication, novel therapeutic strategies are crucial to continue progress achieved over the last decade in combating malaria and to achieving a malaria-free world. Targeting epigenetic mechanisms within Plasmodium parasites represents a promising therapeutic approach for malaria. Histone deacetylase (HDAC) enzymes, the focus of this thesis, act in conjunction with histone acetyltransferases (HATs) to reversibly acetylate histone and non-histone proteins. Some HDACs, in particular class I and II HDACs, are already validated drug targets for cancer therapy and are showing promise as antimalarial drug targets. However, besides their classical role in regulating gene expression, knowledge of the roles that HDACs play in the Plasmodium parasites, is limited. Like higher eukaryotic HDACs, P. falciparum HDACs (PfHDACs) are believed to localise in multi-protein complexes with accessory proteins and to regulate lysine acetylation of both histones and non-histone proteins.

Subjects: subject: Cultural diversity in music education

subject: Music practice

description: Although a substantial volume of advocacy, policy, and research over the past five decades supports cultural diversity in music education, the occurrence of its practice in school programs remains strikingly infrequent. While it is clear that many music teachers are convinced of the importance of broadening their programs culturally, major barriers appear to exist in its translation into classroom practice, in teacher attitudes and attributes, and the degree of engagement. This research examines contemporary realities of cultural diversity in music education over the past five decades. It identifies common objectives in the field along with descriptions of teacher practice toward reaching these aims. Its principal focus is on teacher attitudes and attributes and how these relate to teaching methods for specific aims, and which are considered key to engaged diverse music learning experiences both in traditional settings and in changing forms and recontextualized environments. The research comprises of surveys, interviews, and observations of music teachers and students in classes involved in diverse music. Because my own practice has included cultural diversity for three decades, I have included an examination of this through critical reflection and video footage of my lessons. In addition, my years of experience as a clinician and consultant in the field, together with the substantial body of literature on the subject, provide the material for triangulating perceptions of overall aims, and the attitudes and attributes associated with these aims that ultimately lead to engaged practice.

description: We obtained near infrared (NIR) imaging with the Subaru Telescope of the class 0 protostar candidates in the Orion Molecular Cloud-3, two of which were discovered to have X-ray emission by the Chandra X-ray Observatory. We found strong evidence for the class~0 nature of the X-ray sources. First, our deep K-band image shows no emission brighter than 19.6 mag from both of these X-ray sources. Since class I protostars or class II T Tauri stars should be easily detected in the NIR with this sensitivity, the lack of K-band detection suggests that they are likely much more obscured than class I protostars. Second, our H2 v=1-0 S(1) image shows a bubble-like feature from one of the X-ray class 0 protostar candidates, which reinforces the idea that this is a class 0 protostar. We also discuss the nature of nine NIR sources found in our deep image based on their colors, spatial coincidence with millimeter cores, and the properties of their X-ray counterparts.

description: We present a new approach to doing Eulerian computational fluid dynamics that is designed to work at high Mach numbers encountered in hydrodynamical simulations of the IGM. In conventional Eulerian CFD, the thermal energy is poorly tracked in supersonic bulk flows where local fluid variables cannot be accurately separated from the much larger bulk flow components. We described a method in which local fluid quantities can be directly tracked and the Eulerian fluid equations solved in a local frame moving with the flow. The new algorithm has been used to run large hydrodynamical simulations on a 1024^3 grid to study the kinetic SZ effect. The KSZ power spectrum is broadly peaked at l~10^4 with temperature fluctuations on micro Kelvin levels.

description: For the first time, we explore the tightly coupled interior-magnetosphere system of Mercury by employing a three-dimensional ten-moment multifluid model. This novel fluid model incorporates the non-ideal effects including the Hall effect, inertia, and tensorial pressures that are critical for collisionless magnetic reconnection; therefore, it is particularly well suited for investigating $collisionless$ magnetic reconnection in Mercury's magnetotail and at the planet's magnetopause. The model is able to reproduce the observed magnetic field vectors, field-aligned currents, and cross-tail current sheet asymmetry (beyond the MHD approach) and the simulation results are in good agreement with spacecraft observations. We also study the magnetospheric response of Mercury to a hypothetical extreme event with an enhanced solar wind dynamic pressure, which demonstrates the significance of induction effects resulting from the electromagnetically-coupled interior. More interestingly, plasmoids (or flux ropes) are formed in Mercury's magnetotail during the event, indicating the highly dynamic nature of Mercury's magnetosphere.

description: Mapping vegetation as hard classes based on remote sensing data is a frequently applied approach, even though this crisp, categorical representation is not in line with nature's fuzziness. Gradual transitions in plant species composition in ecotones and faint compositional differences across different patches are thus poorly described in the resulting maps. Several concepts promise to provide better vegetation maps. These include (1) fuzzy classification (a.k.a. soft classification) that takes the probability of an image pixel's class membership into account and (2) gradient mapping based on ordination, which describes plant species composition as a floristic continuum and avoids a categorical description of vegetation patterns. A systematic and comprehensive comparison of these approaches is missing to date. This paper hence gives an overview of the state of the art in fuzzy classification and gradient mapping and compares the approaches in a case study. The advantages and disadvantages of the approaches are discussed and their performance is compared to hard classification (a.k.a. crisp or boolean classification). Gradient mapping best conserves the information in the original data and does not require an a priori categorization. Fuzzy classification comes close in terms of information loss and likewise preserves the continuous nature of vegetation, however, still relying on a priori classification. The need for a priori classification may be a disadvantage or, in other cases, an advantage because it allows using categorical input data instead of the detailed vegetation records required for ordination. Both approaches support spatially explicit accuracy analyses, which further improves the usefulness of the output maps. Gradient mapping and fuzzy classification offer various advantages over hard classification, can always be transformed into a crisp map and are generally applicable to various data structures. We thus recommend the use of these approaches over hard classification for applications in ecological research.
FCA-2022-0047 - German - Plain language summary of a study looking at heart muscle thickness and kidney function in women with Fabry disease who received agalsidase beta treatment
Creators: name: Wanner, Christoph
name: Feldt-Rasmussen, Ulla
name: Ortiz, Alberto
Publisher: name: Taylor & Francis
Year: 2023

description: What is Fabry disease & what is this study about?
Fabry disease is a rare genetic condition that affects many different cells and organs in the body. People have Fabry disease when they inherit a GLA gene containing an error from one or both of their parents. This causes an enzyme in their body called alpha-galactosidase (also called α-Gal) to not work properly.

In people without Fabry disease, a-Gal breaks down fats called glycolipids. In people with Fabry disease, as a-Gal does not work properly, glycolipids build up in the body, particularly in the cells of the kidney, heart, nerves, and the cells that line blood vessels. People who have Fabry disease can receive an enzyme replacement therapy (ERT for short) called agalsidase beta, which acts as a substitute for a-Gal.

Although both males and females can have Fabry disease, it generally affects males more severely than females, and symptoms in females can vary significantly. Several researchers have studied the long-term effects of agalsidase beta ERT in males, but there have been fewer studies in females. This study looked at women with Fabry disease who started receiving agalsidase beta treatment when they were at least 18 years old, using information from the Fabry Registry (the largest worldwide database that collects and stores information about people with Fabry disease). The researchers evaluated heart muscle thickness (thickening can be a sign of poor heart health) and kidney function from 5 years before women with Fabry disease started agalsidase beta treatment to 5 years after they started treatment.

What were the study results?
Before women with Fabry disease started treatment, their heart muscle tended to thicken over time. After starting treatment, their heart muscle thickening slowed. Kidney function was similar to that of unaffected people both before and after treatment.

What do the results of the study mean?
This study provides a unique insight into the effects of agalsidase beta in women with Fabry disease. The findings suggest that agalsidase beta may slow heart muscle thickening and maintain normal kidney function in women with Fabry disease.

description: It is commonly accepted that a merger of two spiral galaxies results in a remnant with an elliptical-like surface-brightness profile. Surprisingly, our recent study (Chitre & Jog 2002) of the 2MASS data for twenty-seven advanced mergers of galaxies has shown that half of these have a light distribution that decreases exponentially with radius. Such a distribution normally characterizes a rotationally supported disk in a spiral galaxy. Here we show from kinematic data for two of these mergers, Arp 224 and Arp 214, that the main support against gravitational collapse comes from pressure due to random motion of stars as seen in an elliptical galaxy rather than from rotation. The origin of the unusual combination of properties seen here is a puzzle. The standard theoretical N-body models in the literature cannot account for these systems. Further observational and dynamical studies of this new class of merger remnants are needed, and would be important for understanding merger dynamics and galaxy evolution.

description: What is Fabry disease & what is this study about?
Fabry disease is a rare genetic condition that affects many different cells and organs in the body. People have Fabry disease when they inherit a GLA gene containing an error from one or both of their parents. This causes an enzyme in their body called alpha-galactosidase (also called α-Gal) to not work properly.

In people without Fabry disease, a-Gal breaks down fats called glycolipids. In people with Fabry disease, as a-Gal does not work properly, glycolipids build up in the body, particularly in the cells of the kidney, heart, nerves, and the cells that line blood vessels. People who have Fabry disease can receive an enzyme replacement therapy (ERT for short) called agalsidase beta, which acts as a substitute for a-Gal.

Although both males and females can have Fabry disease, it generally affects males more severely than females, and symptoms in females can vary significantly. Several researchers have studied the long-term effects of agalsidase beta ERT in males, but there have been fewer studies in females. This study looked at women with Fabry disease who started receiving agalsidase beta treatment when they were at least 18 years old, using information from the Fabry Registry (the largest worldwide database that collects and stores information about people with Fabry disease). The researchers evaluated heart muscle thickness (thickening can be a sign of poor heart health) and kidney function from 5 years before women with Fabry disease started agalsidase beta treatment to 5 years after they started treatment.

What were the study results?
Before women with Fabry disease started treatment, their heart muscle tended to thicken over time. After starting treatment, their heart muscle thickening slowed. Kidney function was similar to that of unaffected people both before and after treatment.

What do the results of the study mean?
This study provides a unique insight into the effects of agalsidase beta in women with Fabry disease. The findings suggest that agalsidase beta may slow heart muscle thickening and maintain normal kidney function in women with Fabry disease.

description: In the course of our search for double degenerate (DD) binaries as potential progenitors of type Ia supernovae with the UVES spectrograph at the ESO VLT (ESO SN Ia Progenitor surveY - SPY) we discovered that the white dwarf HE 1414-0848 is a double-lined DA+DA binary with an orbital period of P = 12h 25m 39s. Semi-amplitudes of 128km/s and 100km/s are derived for the individual components. The amplitude ratio and the measured difference in gravitational redshift is used to estimate the masses of the individual components: 0.55Msol and 0.71Msol. Hence the total mass of the HE 1414-0848 system is 1.26Msol, only 10% below the Chandrasekhar limit. The results of a model atmosphere analysis are consistent with our mass estimated from the orbit. Temperatures of the individual components are also determined. Possible scenarios for the formation of this system are discussed. The system will merge due to loss of angular momentum via gravitational wave radiation after two Hubble times. HE 1414-0848 does not qualify as a SN Ia progenitor, but it is the most massive close DD known today.

description: Australia is a multicultural country and as such, the Australian workforce should be reflecting that diversity. Logically, the teaching profession is no different from any other sub-group of the working populace. Policy documents that inform the profession of teaching explicitly refer to the necessity for nurturing and developing those who are new to the profession. A key part of the development and growth of newcomers to the teaching profession involves the exchange of ideas and knowledge between colleagues. Using the sociocultural theoretical framework of communities of practice, this study seeks to understand the positioning of new members of the teaching profession with respect to their communities of practice. The particular group of newcomers to the profession investigated are those who have a non-English speaking background and who have recently undergone teacher preparation courses in the state of Queensland. This study focuses on the accounts of interactions of a group of beginning or novice teachers who are from a non-English speaking background with other members of their particular communities of teaching practice. The abductive research strategy was used in this qualitative study. Data were generated through interviews, electronic diary recordings, face-to-face focus group and virtual focus group sessions. The participants had all completed at least two practicum experiences in schools or were in their first or second years of teaching at the time of data collection. The data generated consisted of the accounts of the participants’ experiences in their communities of teaching practice. These data were interrogated through the application of critical discourse analysis and positioning theory. Analysis of emergent small stories used by the participants in the telling of their accounts was supported by narrative analytic tools from sociolinguists such as Ochs and Capps (2001). The interactions of the participant teachers with established members of their communities of practice were shown to be influenced by the presence of an element of worldliness, defined as personal overseas experience through travel or migration, in the colleague teachers. Discourses of Race and Care were used by participants in their accounts. The study findings revealed that in some communities of practice, participants were positioned or had taken up positions at the edge of that community. Where a discourse of Care occurred, particularly when linked to worldliness, the study participants took up positions as legitimate peripheral participants of that community of practice The findings generated a model that can be implemented in any organisation to assist in the movement of newcomers to legitimate peripheral participants of their communities of practice and so allow continuation on their trajectories through that community (Lave & Wenger, 1991).

description: Inserting a varying Lambda in Einstein's field equations can be made consistent with the Bianchi identities by allowing for torsion, without the need to add scalar field degrees of freedom. In the minimal such theory, Lambda is totally free and undetermined by the field equations in the absence of matter. Inclusion of matter ties Lambda algebraically to it, at least when homogeneity and isotropy are assumed, i.e. when there is no Weyl curvature. We show that Lambda is proportional to the matter density, with a proportionality constant depending on the equation of state. Unfortunately, the proportionality constant becomes infinite for pure radiation, ruling out the minimal theory prima facie despite of its novel internal consistency. It is possible to generalize the theory still without the addition of kinetic terms, leading to a new algebraically-enforced proportionality between Lambda and the matter density. Lambda and radiation may now coexist in a form consistent with Big Bang Nucleosynthesis, though this places strict constraints on the single free parameter of the theory, $θ$. In the matter epoch Lambda behaves just like a dark matter component. Its density is proportional to the baryonic and/or dark matter, and its presence and gravitational effects would need to be included in accounting for the necessary dark matter in our Universe. This is a companion paper to Ref. [1] where the underlying gravitational theory is developed in detail.

description: We address the effects of cosmological surface brightness dimming on observations of faint galaxies by examining the distribution of "unobscured" star formation rate intensities versus redshift. We use the star formation rate intensity distribution function to assess the ultraviolet luminosity density versus redshift, based on our photometry and photometric redshift measurements of faint galaxies in the HDF and the HDF--S WFPC2 and NICMOS fields. We find that (1) previous measurements have missed a dominant fraction of the ultraviolet luminosity density of the universe at high redshifts by neglecting cosmological surface brightness dimming effects, which are important at redshifts larger than z = 2, (2) the incidence of the highest intensity star forming regions increases monotonically with redshift, and (3) the ultraviolet luminosity density plausibly increases monotonically with redshift through the highest redshifts observed. By measuring the spectrum of the luminosity density versus redshift, we also find that (4) previous measurements of the ultraviolet luminosity density at redshifts z < 2 must be reduced by a factor 2 to allow for the spectrum of the luminosity density between rest-frame wavelengths 1500 and 2800 A. And by comparing with observations of high-redshift damped Lyman-alpha absorption systems detected toward background QSOs, we further find that (5) the distribution of star formation rate intensities matches the distribution of neutral hydrogen column densities at redshifts z = 2 through 5, which establishes a quantitative connection between high-redshift galaxies and high column density gas and suggests that high-redshift damped Lyman-alpha absorption systems trace lower star formation rate intensity regions of the same galaxies detected in star light in the HDF and HDF--S.
