description: We review recent studies of organic molecule formation in dense molecular clouds and in comets. We summarise the known organic inventories of molecular clouds and recent comets, particularly Hale-Bopp. The principal chemical formation pathways involving gas phase reactions, as well as formation by catalytic reactions on grain surfaces or through dust fragmentation, are identified for both dense clouds and cometary comae. The processes leading to organic molecules with known biological function, carbon chains, deuterium fractionation, HNC and S-bearing compounds are described. Observational searches for new interstellar organics are outlined and the connection between observed interstellar organics and those detected in comets Hale-Bopp and Hyakutake are discussed.

description: Recently we have investigated an effective method of multicranked configuration-mixing for angular-momentum-projection calculation, where several cranked mean-field states are coupled after projection: The basic idea was originally proposed by Peierls and Thouless more than fifty years ago. With this method a good description of the rotational band has been achieved in a fully microscopic manner. In the present work, we apply the method to the high-spin superdeformed band, for which long rotational sequence is observed, and study how the good description is obtained for the rotational spectrum as well as the $\Jonem$ and $\Jtwom$ moments of inertia as functions of angular momentum. The Gogny D1S force is employed as an effective interaction, and the yrast superdeformed bands in $^{152}$Dy and $^{194}$Hg are taken as typical examples in the $A\approx 150$ and $A\approx 190$ regions, respectively. The effect of pairing correlations is examined by the variation after particle-number projection approach to understand the different behaviors of $\Jtwom$ moments of inertia observed in these two nuclei. The particle-number projection on top of the angular-momentum projection has been performed for the first time with the multicranked configuration-mixing.

description: (2019) 27(2) Australian Law Librarian 61

The academic law library has long been designated the ‘heart’ of the law school. This concept, introduced by Christopher C. Langdell, Harvard Law School’s first dean, is evidenced by the central role that the Library has played in the provision of legal education, traditionally because of the nature of law itself, as information. A recent history of the Monash University Law School acknowledges that ‘a law library is an essential ingredient of a law school’ and notes that David Derham, in planning the building, designed it around the law library as the ‘working heart of the law school’. For over 50 years, the Monash Law Library has provided comprehensive collections of primary and secondary sources, essential to scholars and legal practitioners in training. Developments in technology and in the priorities of the University and the legal industry have resulted in changes to the way we develop and manage our collections, including the reduced size of the physical collection. Despite this, or perhaps because of it, the Library remains the ‘heart’ of the Law School. (Introduction)

description: Poster presentation of the Turing Way at the 2019 Open Science Fair. Abstract: The Turing Way is a handbook to support students, their supervisors, funders and journal editors in ensuring that reproducible data science is "too easy not to do" (https://the-turing-way.netlify.com). It includes training material on topics such as version control and analysis testing, and will build upon Alan Turing Institute case studies and workshops. The project also demonstrates open and transparent project management and communication with future users, as it is openly developed at our GitHub repository: https://github.com/alan-turing-institute/the-turing-way. All resources associated with workshops we have delivered, as well as how to organise a Book Dash (a one-day book sprint), are also openly available. Reproducible research is necessary to ensure that scientific work can be trusted. Funders and publishers are beginning to require that publications include access to the underlying data and the analysis code. The goal is to ensure that all results can be independently verified and built upon in future work, which is sometimes easier said than done. Sharing these research outputs means understanding data management, library sciences, software development, and continuous integration techniques: skills that are not widely taught or expected of academic researchers and data scientists. This poster will present an overview of the handbook so far and show Open Science Fair participants how they can contribute their knowledge to make it even better going forwards or how to open up their own projects to a wider contributor community. This poster relates to the overall theme of the conference, as the Turing Way provides the tools to improve research habits in a self-contained handbook. It will also ensure that PhD students, postdocs, PIs and funding teams know which parts of the "responsibility of reproducibility" they can affect, and what they should do to nudge research and data science to being more efficient, effective and understandable.

description: We use HST broad band images, VLA and VLBI continuum data to study the three dimensional orientation of jets relative to nuclear dust disks in 20 radio galaxies. The comparison between the position angles of the jets with those of the dust disks major axes shows a wide distribution, suggesting that they are not aligned preferentially perpendicular to each other. We use a statistical technique to determine the 3 dimensional distribution of angles between jets and dust disks rotation axes. This analysis shows that the observations are consistent with jets homogeneously distributed over a large region, extending over polar caps of 55 degrees to 77 degrees, but seem to avoid lying close to the plane of the dust disks. We argue that the lack of close alignment between jets and dust disks axes is not likely to be caused by feeding the nucleus with gas from mergers originated from random directions. We suggest that the misalignment can be due by a warping mechanism in the accretion disk, like self-irradiation instability or the Bardeen-Petterson effect, or that the gravitational potential in the inner regions of the galaxy is misaligned with respect to that of the dust disk.

description: We propose an approach to analytically solve the quantum dynamics of bosonic systems. The method is based on reconstructing the quantum state of the system from the moments of its annihilation operators, dynamics of which is solved in the Heisenberg picture. The proposed method is general in the sense that it does not assume anything on the initial conditions of the system such as separability, or the structure of the system such as linearity. It is an alternative to the standard master equation approaches, which are analytically demanding especially for large multipartite quantum systems. To demonstrate the proposed technique, we apply it to a system consisting of two coupled damped quantum harmonic oscillators.

Here, we use the trace formula established in the first paper (`Balian-Bloch trace formula') to explicitly calculate wave trace invariants associated to bouncing ball orbits and dihedral rays. We use these invariants to prove that simply connected bounded analytic plane domains with one symmetry (which reverses a bouncing ball orbit of fixed length L) are spectrally determined in this class.

Embeddings of Schwartz' spaces into the Colombeau algebra G are well known, but for ultradistribution and periodic hyperfunction type spaces we give new constructions. We show that the multiplication of regular enough functions (smooth, ultradifferentiable or quasianalytic), embedded into corresponding algebras, is the ordinary multiplication.

description: We compare the nonthermal emission from clusters of galaxies undergoing minor mergers (``accreting'' clusters) and major mergers (``merging'' clusters). For accreting clusters, the radial distribution of the nonthermal emission in the clusters is also calculated. The relativistic electrons, which are the origin of the nonthermal radiation through inverse Compton (IC) and synchrotron mission, are assumed to be accelerated at shocks produced by accretion or mergers. We estimate the typical accretion rate and merger probability according to a hierarchical clustering model. We show that the total luminosity of IC emission from accreting and merging clusters are similar. On the other hand, the luminosity of synchrotron radio emission of the former is much smaller than that of the latter. We show that about 10% of clusters at z~0 should have hard X-ray and radio nonthermal emissions due to their last major merger, which are comparable to or dominate those due to ongoing accretion. Moreover, 20-40% of clusters should have significant EUV emission due to their last merger. We also investigate the case where the criterion of mergers is relaxed. If we extend the definition of a merger to an increase in the mass of the larger subcluster by at least 10% of its initial mass, about 20-30% of clusters at z~0 should have hard X-ray and radio nonthermal emissions due to the merger even in a low density universe. We compare the results with observations. We find that the observed EUV emission from clusters is not attributed to accretion. If the diffuse radio emission observed in clusters is synchrotron emission from electrons accelerated via accretion or merging, the magnetic fields of clusters are generally as small as ~0.1 mu G.

Metallicity of stars formed throughout the cosmic history based on the observational properties of star forming galaxies

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)

description: Metallicity is one of the crucial factors that determine stellar evolution. To characterize the properties of stellar populations one needs to know the fraction of stars forming at different metallicities. Knowing how this fraction evolves over time is necessary e.g. to estimate the rates of occurrence of any stellar evolution related phenomena (e.g. double compact object mergers, gamma ray bursts). Such theoretical estimates can be confronted with observational limits to validate the assumptions about the evolution of the progenitor system leading to a certain transient. However, to perform the comparison correctly one needs to know the uncertainties related to the assumed star formation history and chemical evolution of the Universe. We combine the empirical scaling relations and other observational properties of the star forming galaxies to construct the distribution of the cosmic star formation rate density at different metallicities and redshifts. We address the question of uncertainty of this distribution due to currently unresolved questions, such as the absolute metallicity scale, the flattening in the star formation--mass relation or the low mass end of the galaxy mass function. We find that the fraction of stellar mass formed at metallicities <10% solar (>solar) since z=3 varies by ~18% (~26%) between the extreme cases considered in our study. This uncertainty stems primarily from the differences in the mass metallicity relations obtained with different methods. We confront our results with the local core-collapse supernovae observations. Our model is publicly available.

The pair-wise velocity dispersion of galaxies: effects of non radial motions
Creators: name: Del Popolo, A.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: I discuss the effect of non-radial motions on the small-scale pairwise peculiar velocity dispersions of galaxies (PVD) in a CDM model. I calculate the PVD for the SCDM model by means of the refined cosmic virial theorem (CVT) (Suto & Jing 1997) and taking account of non-radial motions by means of Del Popolo & Gambera (1998) model. I compare the results of the present model with the data from Davis & Peebles (1983), the IRAS value at 1 h{-1} Mpc of Fisher et al. (1993) and Marzke et al. (1995). I show that while the SCDM model disagrees with the observed values, as pointed out by several authors (Peebles 1976, 1980; Davis & Peebles 1983; Mo et. al 1993; Jing et al. 1998), taking account of non-radial motions produce smaller values for the PVD. At r <=1 h^{-1} Mpc the result is in agreement with Bartlett & Blanchard (1996) (hereafter BB96). At the light of this last paper, the result may be also read as a strong dependence of the CVT prediction on the model chosen to describe the mass distribution around galaxies, suggesting that the CVT cannot be taken as a direct evidence of a low density universe. Similarly to what shown in Del Popolo & Gambera (1999, 2000) (hereafter DG99, DG00), Del Popolo et al. (1999), the agreement of our model to the observational data is due to a scale dependent bias induced by the presence of non-radial motions. Since the assumptions on which CVT is based have been questioned by several authors (BB96; SJ97), I also calculated the PVD using the redshift distortion in the redshift-space correlation function, ξ_z(r_p,π), and I compared it with the PVD measured from the Las Campanas Redshift Survey by J98. The result confirms that non-radial motions influence the PVD making them better agree with observed data.

 Material examined. HOLOTYPE: female (12.4Ö 12.7 mm) (MNHN), ORSTOM number AC45, Madagascar, northwest coast Mitsio Island, 30 m, trawl, sand, likely on echinoderms, coll. A. Crosnier, February 1960.
 Etymology. The name is derived from Latin for`intermediate’, alluding to the proximity of the species to G. granulosus and E. zebra.
 Diagnosis. Carapace pentagonal, rostrum long, length 1.2 times width, tip of rostrum not deēxed; surfaces of carapace, chelipeds and ambulatory legs covered with numerous tall and prominent granules; dorsal surface of carapace not pileiferous. Lateral carapac e teeth very sharp, tip usually directed obliquely forwards; base of tooth not as stout and thick. Antero-external angle of merus of maxilliped 3 not auriculiform. Chelipeds granulose; dorsal margin of palm with distinct lamelliform crests; carpus with distinct spine on distal inner angle; median and inner proximal of merus with strong teeth; inner surface of basis-ischium with a tooth. Anterior margins of all ambulatory meri and carpi distinctly cristate; anterior margin of last ambulatory merus appearing serrated; posterior margins of all meri with two distinct parallel crests; dactylus of leg 1 not much longer than those on other legs. G1 and G2 not known.
 Remarks. The present specimen was collected with many specimens of G. granulosus from Madagascar. It was distinctive in having highly crested anterior and posterior margins on all the ambulatory meri and carpi (®gure 9E, G). Except for this character, E. intermedius is similar to G. granulosus in many aspects, viz. the long and slender rostrum, tall and prominent granules on all surfaces, and the nonauriculiform antero-external angle of the merus of maxilliped 3.
 In some aspects, E. intermedius is also similar to E. zebra, viz. the highly cristate anterior and posterior margins of all ambulatory legs and the pointed and sharp lateral carapace teeth. However, E. intermedius di ers from E. zebra in being highly tuberculated on all surfaces, possessing a non-auriculiform antero-external angle of the merus of maxilliped 3, and having a longer and more slender rostrum.
 Thus, it appears that E. intermedius is intermediate between E. zebra and G. granulosu s. Both the latter two species are also found in Madagascar and probably live in similar habitats. Undoubtedly, more specimens are required to better de®ne E. intermedius.
 Distribution. Known only from Madagascar.

Multiple delays in QSO 0957+561: observational evidence and interpretation

Year: 2002

description: Q0957+561A,B is a double-imaged quasar that has been intensively observed during the last 10 years in different optical bands and with several telescopes, and we concentrated on recent public data obtained at the Apache Point Observatory (APO) and the Teide Observatory (TO). When an intrinsic event appears in the light curve of Q0957+561A, its twin event (a similar feature) is seen in the brightness record of Q0957+561B, and thus, one can measure the corresponding time delay. The TO dataset includes two prominent twin events, which were detected with a time separation of 425 +/- 4 days. On the other hand, from the APO dataset, we found a clear evidence for two different time delays associated with two pairs of twin events: 417.0 +/- 0.6 (APO main twin events) and 432.0 +/- 1.9 days (APO secondary twin events), where the APO(main)-APO(secondary) difference delay is of - 15 +/- 2 days. In agreement with the Yonehara's idea, if the three pairs of twin events are originated inside a standard hybrid source (accretion disk and circumnuclear stellar region), the three measured time delays indicate that they do not come from a common zone in the source. Therefore, we can consider that the prominent features are caused by flares in a standard hybrid source and discuss on the size and nature of the region of flares. In this paper it is showed that the more plausible interpretation is that two of the three flares are generated at distances (from the central black hole) larger than 90 pc. Some stellar scenarios can explain the two flares far away from the black hole, while phenomena in the accretion disk cannot cause them.

description: Abstract — The PID controller still remains a widely used and very effective means of achieving stability in control systems. Generally, the performance of the controller is determined by the proportional, integral and derivative gains of the controller. The classical techniques: Ziegler-Nichols (ZN) open loop method; ZN closed loop method; Chien-Hrones-Reswick (C-H-R) load rejection method; and meta-heuristic technique: the fuzzy logic algorithm, are used to determine the tuning parameters of the PID controller in this study. The performance comparison of these controllers is done for automatic generation control (AGC) of a multi-source single-area hydro-thermal-gas power system. In such power systems, each source has a participation factor that determines its contribution to total power generation. The root mean square error (RMSE) is deployed to determine the proportionate balance of each generator’s output with its corresponding participation factor. The performance comparison of the controllers using Simulink/MATLAB shows that the fuzzy-PID controller achieved the most proportionate generation balance.

description: We conduct a large-scale benchmark experiment aiming to advance the use of machine-learning quantile regression algorithms for probabilistic hydrological post-processing “at scale” within operational contexts. The experiment is set up using 34-year-long daily time series of precipitation, temperature, evapotranspiration and streamflow for 511 catchments over the contiguous United States. Point hydrological predictions are obtained using the GR4J hydrological model and exploited as predictor variables within quantile regression settings. Six machine-learning quantile regression algorithms and their equal-weight combiner are applied to predict conditional quantiles of the hydrological model errors. The individual algorithms are quantile regression, generalized random forests for quantile regression, generalized random forests for quantile regression emulating quantile regression forests, gradient boosting machine, model-based boosting with linear models as base learners and quantile regression neural networks. The conditional quantiles of the hydrological model errors are transformed to conditional quantiles of daily streamflow, which are finally assessed using proper performance scores and benchmarking. The assessment concerns various levels of predictive quantiles and central prediction intervals, while it is made both independently of the flow magnitude and conditional upon this magnitude. Key aspects of the developed methodological framework are highlighted and practical recommendations are formulated. In technical hydro-meteorological applications, the algorithms should be applied preferably in a way that maximizes the benefits and reduces the risks from their use. This can be achieved by (i) combining algorithms (e.g., by averaging their predictions) and (ii) integrating algorithms within systematic frameworks (i.e., by using the algorithms according to their identified skills), as our large-scale results point out.

 This species is easily recognized by its pattern of alternating strong and thin ribs. Cochlostoma asturicum, which is found sympatrically in the Picos de Europa area, is similar in general shape and size, but has equal ribs and a darker shell colour.
 Several characters are shared with the eastern Pyrenean species C. nouleti: the alternating sculpture, the wrinkled pattern on the very early part of the spire, the de®nite inner rim of the aperture, and among the allozymic characters the SOD and MPI patterns.
 Habitat
 Among limestone, mostly among mounds of loose large stones in shaded places. The partitioning of the habitat is clearcut where the species is sympatric with C. hidalgoi; the latter living higher on exposed surfaces (®gure 34). Cochlostoma bicostulatum is more ubiquitous and sometimes very abundant in the coastal area, where it is often found alone.
 Distribution
The coastal areas of the Basque country, Cantabrian range and Asturias. This species is predominant at lower altitudes, and can be found only a few metres away from the maritime splash zone if limestone is present.

description: In this article, we analyze tensor-vector-pseudoscalar(TVP) type of vertices $D_{2}^{*+}D^{+}ρ$, $D_{2}^{*0}D^{0}ρ$, $D_{2}^{*+}D^{+}ω$, $D_{2}^{*0}D^{0}ω$, $B_{2}^{*+}B^{+}ρ$, $B_{2}^{*0}B^{0}ρ$, $B_{2}^{*+}B^{+}ω$, $B_{2}^{*0}B^{0}ω$, $B_{s2}^{*}B_{s}ϕ$ and $D_{s2}^{*}D_{s}ϕ$, in the frame work of three point QCD sum rules. According to these analysis, we calculate their strong form factors which are used to fit into analytical functions of $Q^{2}$. Then, we obtain the strong coupling constants by extrapolating these strong form factors into deep time-like regions. As an application of this work, the coupling constants for radiative decays of these heavy tensor mesons are also calculated at the point of $Q^{2}=0$. With these coupling constants, we finally calculate the radiative decay widths of these tensor mesons.

description: Appropriate control contributes essentially in the design of efficient DC-DC converters. With this intention, a study deals with the synthesis of a controller for DC-DC Three-level Boost converter (TLBC), has been addressed. The studied TLBC, known as nonlinear system, has been locally modeled using transfer function models. For instance, PI controllers were designed using the local models, and then they were combined using Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy (TSF) approach to form a TSF-PI controller. Simulation tests show the flexibility of the proposed controller, its rejection capability to different disturbances, and its ability to achieve the performance specification overall the wide operating range of the system.

description: In a framework where galaxies mostly migrate on the colour-magnitude diagram from star-forming to quiescent, the green valley is considered a transitional galaxy stage. The details of the processes that drive galaxies from star-forming to passive systems still remain unknown. We developed a method that estimates empirically the star formation quenching times-scales of green valley galaxies, assuming an exponential decay model of the SFH and through a combination of narrow and broad bands from J-PLUS and GALEX. We correlate these quenching time-scales with the presence of bars. We find that the J-PLUS colours F0395-g and F0415-g are sensitive to different SFH, showing, a clear correlation with the Dn(4000) and H-delta,A spectral indices. We find that quenching time-scales obtained with our new approach are in agreement with those determined using spectral indices. We also find that galaxies with high bar probability tend to quench their star formation slowly. We conclude that: 1) J-PLUS filters can be used to measure quenching timescales in nearby green valley galaxies; and 2) the resulting star formation quenching time-scales are longer for barred green valley galaxies. Considering that the presence of a bar indicates that more violent processes (e.g., major mergers) are absent in host galaxies, we conclude that the presence of a bar can be used as a morphological signature for slow star formation quenching.

description: We conduct a large-scale benchmark experiment aiming to advance the use of machine-learning quantile regression algorithms for probabilistic hydrological post-processing “at scale” within operational contexts. The experiment is set up using 34-year-long daily time series of precipitation, temperature, evapotranspiration and streamflow for 501 catchments over the contiguous United States. Point hydrological predictions are obtained using the GR4J hydrological model and exploited as predictor variables within quantile regression settings. Six machine-learning quantile regression algorithms and their equal-weight combiner are applied to predict conditional quantiles of the hydrological model errors. The individual algorithms are quantile regression, generalized random forests for quantile regression, generalized random forests for quantile regression emulating quantile regression forests, gradient boosting machine, model-based boosting with linear models as base learners and quantile regression neural networks. The conditional quantiles of the hydrological model errors are transformed to conditional quantiles of daily streamflow, which are finally assessed using proper performance scores and benchmarking. The assessment concerns various levels of predictive quantiles and central prediction intervals, while it is made both independently of the flow magnitude and conditional upon this magnitude. Key aspects of the developed methodological framework are highlighted and practical recommendations are formulated. In technical hydro-meteorological applications, the algorithms should be applied preferably in a way that maximizes the benefits and reduces the risks from their use. This can be achieved by (i) combining algorithms (e.g., by averaging their predictions) and (ii) integrating algorithms within systematic frameworks (i.e., by using the algorithms according to their identified skills), as our large-scale results point out.
Mining the Sky with Redshift Surveys

description: Since the late 1970's, redshift surveys have been vital for progress in understanding large-scale structure in the Universe. The original CfA redshift survey collected spectra of 20-30 galaxies per clear night on a 1.5 meter telescope; over a two year period the project added ~2000 new redshifts to the literature. Subsequent low-z redshift surveys have been up to an order of magnitude larger, and ongoing surveys will yield a similar improvement over the generation preceding them. Full sky redshift surveys have a special role to play as predictors of cosmological flows, and deep pencil beam surveys have provided fundamental constraints on the evolution of properties of galaxies. With the 2DF redshift survey and the SDSS survey, our knowledge of the statistical clustering of low-redshift galaxies will achieve unprecedented precision. Measurements of clustering in the distant Universe are more limited at present, but will become much better in this decade as the VLT/VIRMOS and Keck/DEIMOS projects produce results. As in so many other fields, progress in large scale structure studies, both observational and theoretical, has been made possible by improvements in technologies, especially computing. This review briefly highlights twenty years of progress in this evolving discipline and describes a few novel cosmological tests that will be attempted with the Keck/DEIMOS survey.

Economic shocks, current account and macroeconomic adjustment : theory and practice in Korea
Creators: name: Ahn, Chang Mo

Year: 1991
Subjects: subject: Korea Economic conditions 1945-

description: The main purpose of this thesis is to identify the dynamic effects of exogenous economic shocks on the macroeconomic adjustment in a small open resource-poor economy, Korea. It is well known that the macroeconomic adjustment process of an open economy is best analyzed within an intertemporal general equilibrium framework. However, empirical application of the framework has been very limited despite its theoretical elaborateness. This thesis provides one of the possible solutions to the apparent problem discussed above. To analyze the effects of exogenous economic shocks on macroeconomic adjustment, an intertemporal general equilibrium model is developed, and the effects of an imported intermediate input price shock as well as various government policy shocks are analyzed. By introducing a risk premium to the real interest rate and imported intermediate input in production process, quite realistic theoretical predictions are obtained about macroeconomic adjustment process. The basic framework is, then, extended to be applied empirically. At this stage, the role of government is explicitly introduced as a Stackelberg leader against the producer and the consumer. The information structure among the players are assumed to be open-loop. The resulting behavioral decision functions for the three players are econometrically estimated with the assumption of rational expectations. The estimation results of the forward-looking behavioral equations are quite satisfactory. Additionally, simulation analysis is carried out to identify the quantitative effects of each individual exogenous economic shock. The simulation results are, by and large, consistent with the qualitative results. The main advantage of the simulation analysis was its ability to decompose separate macroeconomic effects according to their causes and origins. The analysis provides a clear picture of how the macroeconomy operates in response to exogenous economic shocks. Among exogenous shocks, the price of imported intermediate input, the world real interest rate and the real wage are shown to have a crucial importance in macroeconomic adjustment process in Korea.

description: We investigate an atom interferometer in which large momentum differences between the arms are obtained by using quantum resonances in the atom optics $δ$-kicked rotor. The interferometer can potentially measure the Talbot time (from which $h/m$ can be deduced), the local gravitational field, or can serve as a narrow velocity filter. We present an analytical analysis in the short pulse limit, and a numerical investigation for finite pulse durations. The sensitivity of the interferometer is improved by a moderate violation of the short pulse limit. Remarkably simple relations predict the optimal pulse duration, and the sensitivity of the interferometer.
