description: In this paper we study the variability properties of the Lyman alpha and C IV emission lines in 3C273 using archival IUE observations. Our data show for the first time the existence of variability on time scales of several years. We study the spatial distribution and the velocity field of the emitting gas by performing detailed analyses on the line variability using correlations, 1D and 2D response functions, and principal component analysis. In both lines we find evidence for two components, one which has the dynamic properties of gas in Keplerian motion around a black hole with a mass of the order of 10^9 Mo, and one which is characterized by high, blue-shifted velocities at large lag. There is no indication of the presence of optically thick emission medium neither in the Lya, nor in the Civ response functions. The component characterized by blue-shifted velocities, which is comparatively much stronger in Civ than in Lya, is more or less compatible with being the result of gas falling towards the central black hole with free-fall acceleration. We propose however that the line emission at high, blue-shifted velocities is better explained in terms of entrainment of gas clouds by the jet. This gas is therefore probably collisionally excited as a result of heating due to the intense infrared radiation from the jet, which would explain the strength of this component in Civ relative to Lya. This phenomenon might be a signature of disk-jet interaction.

description: Photon-hadronic interactions are important for the sources and the transport of Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECRs). Current state-of-the-art cosmic ray transport simulations handle nuclear disintegration at energies of the Giant Dipole Resonance at a more sophisticated level, as well as the photohadronic interactions of nucleons in the high-energy regime above the pion production threshold. However, the interactions of nuclei above the pion production threshold are commonly modeled by treating the nucleus as a superposition of free nucleons -- ignoring the effect of the nuclear medium. We construct an improved, inclusive model for the photomeson regime for nuclei with $A \leq 56$ by employing more accurate, data-driven parametrizations of the interaction cross section, the fragmentation of the primary nucleus and the inclusive pion production cross section that directly affects the production of astrophysical neutrinos. We apply our results to two multi-messenger scenarios (Tidal Disruption Events and Gamma-Ray Bursts) in which photonuclear interactions in the photomeson regime are the dominant cooling process for the highest energy cosmic rays. While we find moderate changes to the mass composition of UHECRs, the astrophysical neutrino fluxes exhibit a significant (factor of a few) reduction compared to the naïve superposition of free nucleons for sources of UHECR nuclei with a populated cascade. The numerical code implementing the model has been made publicly available, which facilitates the integration of our results in similar frameworks.

description: This thesis synthesizes a body of published research spanning fifteen years. It investigates the challenges and necessary supports for moving the ever-evolving body of prevention science to application in policy and practice, in order to prevent delinquency and youth risk-taking behavior. Through the publications and the summary chapter and overview, the thesis offers a coherent narrative of the development of this body of research: from the identification of preventive interventions with demonstrated evidence of effectiveness; to enumerating the barriers to taking evidence-based prevention programs (EBPs) to scale; to understanding the challenges of implementation fidelity, quality, and adaptation as major barriers to practice at scale; to identifying the predictors of sustainment and translating this knowledge into practice; to the development of system capacity and a state- level infrastructure (the EPISCenter) to address these challenges and to sustain EBPs effectively at a whole-of-population level.

description: Surface and interfacial energies play important roles in a number of instability phenomena in liquids and soft matters, but are rare to play a similar role in solids. Here we report a new type of mechanical instabilities that are controlled by surface and interfacial energies and are valid for a large class of materials, in particular two-dimensional layered materials. When sliding a top flake cleaved from a square microscale graphite mesa by using a probe acted on the flake through a point contact, we observed that the flake moved unrotationally for a certain distance before it suddenly transferred to a rotating-moving state. The theoretical analysis that agrees well with the experimental observation reveals that this mechanical instability is an interesting effect of the structural superlubricity (a state of nearly zero friction). Our further analysis shows that this type of instability holds generally for various sliding joints on different scales, as long as the friction is ultralow. Thus, the uncovered mechanism provides useful knowledge for manipulating and controlling all these sliding joints, and can guide design of future structural superlubricity based devices.

description: Helioseismology provides a powerful tool to explore the deep interior of the Sun: for example, the adiabatic sound speed can be inferred with an accuracy of a few parts in 10,000. This has become a serious challenge to theoretical models of the Sun. Therefore, we have undertaken a self-consistent, systematic study of sources of uncertainties in the standard solar model, which must be understood before the helioseismic observations can be used as constraints on theory. We find that the largest uncertainty in the sound speed in the solar interior, namely, 3 parts in 1000, arises from uncertainties in the observed photospheric abundances of the elements; uncertainties of 1 part in 1000 arise from (1) the 4% uncertainty in the OPAL opacities, (2) the 5% uncertainty in the basic pp nuclear reaction rate, (3) the 15% uncertainty in the diffusion constants for the gravitational settling of helium, and (4) the 50% uncertainties in diffusion constants for the heavier elements. (Other investigators have shown that similar uncertainties arise from uncertainties in the interior equation of state and in rotation-induced turbulent mixing.) The predicted pre-main-sequence solar lithium depletion is a factor of order 20 (an order of magnitude larger than that predicted by earlier models that neglected gravitational settling and used older opacities), and is uncertain by a factor of 2. The predicted neutrino capture rate is uncertain by 30% for the Cl-37 experiment and by 3% for the Ga-71 experiments (not including uncertainties in the capture cross sections), while the B-8 neutrino flux is uncertain by 30%.

description: We report on the results of our monitoring program of the remnant of SN 1987A with the Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS) on board the {\it Chandra X-ray Observatory}. Two new observations have been performed in AO2, bringing the total to four monitoring observations over the past two years. Over this time period, new techniques for correction of ``Charge Transfer Inefficiency (CTI)'' and for use of charge spreading to provide angular resolution somewhat better than the pixel size of the CCD detector have become available at Penn State. We have processed all four observations using sub-pixel resolution to obtain the highest possible angular resolution, and using our CTI correction software to provide more reliable spectral analysis and flux estimations. The high angular resolution images indicate that the X-ray bright knots are convincingly correlated with the optical spots, primarily at $\la$1 keV, while higher energy photons are very well correlated with radio images. Our data also provide marginal evidence for radial expansion of the X-ray remnant at a rate of 5200 $\pm$ 2100 km s$^{-1}$. The X-ray flux appears to linearly increase by $\sim$60% over the 18 month period of these observations. The spectrum is dominated by broad complexes of atomic emission lines and can be fit with a simple model of a plane-parallel shock with electron temperatures of $kT$ $\sim$ 2 $-$ 4 keV and a postshock electron density of $n_{e}$ $\sim$ 210 $-$ 420 cm$^{-3}$. The implied 0.5 $-$ 10 keV band luminosity in 2001 April is $\sim$1.3 $\times$ 10$^{35}$ ergs s$^{-1}$; as of that date, we still observe no direct evidence for the central point source, with an upper limit on the {\it observed} luminosity of $L_{X}$ $\sim$ 5.5 $\times$ 10$^{33}$ ergs s$^{-1}$ in the 2 $-$ 10 keV band.

Effective lambda-proton and lambda-neutron potentials from subthreshold inverse scattering

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)

description: Potentials are constructed for the lambda-nucleon interaction in the $^1\text{S}_0$ and $^3\text{S}_1$ channels. These potentials are recovered from scattering phases below the inelastic threshold through Gel'fand-Levitan-Marchenko theory. Experimental data with good statistics is not available for lambda-nucleon scattering. This leaves theoretical scattering phases as the only option through which the rigorous theory of quantum inverse scattering can be used in probing the lambda-nucleon force. Using rational-function interpolations on the theoretical scattering data, the kernels of the Gel'fand-Levitan-Marchenko integral equation become degenerate, resulting in a closed-form solution. The new potentials restored, which are shown to be unique through the Levinson theorem, bear the expected features of short-range repulsion and intermediate-range attraction. Charge symmetry breaking, which is perceptible in the scattering phases, is preserved in the new potentials. The lambda-nucleon force in the $^1\text{S}_0$ channel is observed to be stronger than in the $^3\text{S}_1$ channel, as expected. In addition, the potentials bear certain distinctive features whose effects on hypernuclear systems can be explored through Schrödinger calculations.

description: This study examined the processes by which Julian State School, located in South-East Queensland, attempted to establish and develop a Professional Learning Community (PLC) to guide its efforts in improving student achievement in literacy. Utilising a case study methodology, a large qualitative data set was gathered and analysed to understand how the school’s personnel engaged with each other in PLC and school improvement activities. A total of twenty-seven participants were involved in the study; 21 classroom teachers, two members of the leadership team and four university personnel. Data sources included questionnaires, semi-structured individual interviews, audio recordings and transcriptions of reflective practice conversations, focus groups, field notes, teaching and assessment artefacts. As the thesis proceeds, detailed analysis of contextual interactions and interrelationships within the developing PLC activities are presented to explore the proposition that PLC development is a multifaceted and complex process.

description: Celestichthys, new genus
  Type species. – Celestichthys margaritatus , new species, by monotypy.
  Diagnosis. – Celestichthys  differs from all previously-known Asian Cyprinidae in its distinctive head and body shape, small upturned mouth with shortened jaws, unique colouration, and 9/8 principal caudal fin rays (whereas Microrasbora rubescens, type species of the genus Microrasbora, has 10/9, the usual count for the family Cyprinidae; and “ Microrasbora ” erythromicron has 9/9). It is further distinguished by caudal fin moderately rather than deeply forked; pharyngeal teeth conical, three-rowed; scales in lateral series 25–26; and body without lateral line canal (no scales with lateral line pores).
 In size and shape of head, jaws, body and fins it is most similar to another diminutive and highly colourful cyprinid, “ Microrasbora ” erythromicron Annandale, 1918, endemic to Inle Lake. That species, which may represent the same or another new genus, has entirely different colouration and 9/ 9 principal caudal fin rays. All other Asian cyprinids so far as known, including Microrasbora rubescens Annandale, 1918 (type species of Microrasbora Annandale, 1918) have 10/9 principal caudal fin rays except for Danionella translucida Roberts, 1986, and D. mirifica Britz, 2003, and “ Microrasbora ” erythromicron with 9/9 and Paedocypris Kottelat, Britz, Tan & Witte, 2005, with only 8/8. While they also are danioins, Danionella and Paedocypris apparently are not closely related to the new genus and species. They are relatively slender fish, even smaller than Celestichthys, but with increased numbers of post-abdominal vertebrae and elongate lower jaw.
 A 24.8 mm Microrasbora rubescens has numerous fine tubercles of about equal size in three or four rows extending the length of the ventrolateral margin of the mandibles. The mandible in Celestichthys apparently is non-tuberculate. The anal fin of M. rubescens, with ii 111 / 2 rays, has a distinctly concave posterior margin, giving it almost a falcate shape. This differs from the anal fin of Celestichthys, which has a convex margin and only ii 81 / 2 – 91 / 2 rays. The caudal peduncle, similar in both sexes, is much more elongate than in Celestichthys. In these respects, “ Microrasbora ” erythromicron is again like Celestichthys.

We specifically reconstruct the sub-halo mass component with robust stellar kinematics information of cluster galaxies, in combination with precise strong lensing models based on large samples of spectroscopically identified multiple images. We use VLT/MUSE integral-field spectroscopy in the cluster cores to measure the stellar velocity dispersion, $σ$, of 40-60 member galaxies per cluster, covering 4-5 magnitudes to $m_{F160W}\simeq 21.5$. We verify the robustness and quantify the accuracy of the velocity dispersion measurements with extensive spectral simulations. With these data, we determine the normalization and slope of the galaxy $L\mbox{-}σ$ Faber-Jackson relation in each cluster and use these parameters as a prior for the scaling relations of the sub-halo population in the mass distribution modeling. When compared to our previous lens models, the inclusion of member galaxies' kinematics provides a similar precision in reproducing the positions of the multiple images. However, the inherent degeneracy between the central effective velocity dispersion, $σ_0$, and truncation radius, $r_{cut}$, of sub-halos is strongly reduced, thus significantly alleviating possible systematics in the measurements of sub-halo masses. The three independent determinations of the $σ_0\mbox{-}r_{cut}$ scaling relation in each cluster are found to be fully consistent, enabling a statistical determination of sub-halo sizes as a function of $σ_0$, or halo masses. We derive galaxy central velocity dispersion functions of the three clusters and found them in agreement with each other. Sub-halo mass functions determined with this method can be compared with those obtained from cosmological simulations.

description: The relatively warm temperatures required on early Earth and Mars have been difficult to account for via warming from greenhouse gases. We tested whether this problem can be resolved for both Earth and Mars by a young Sun that is brighter than predicted by the standard solar model. We computed high-precision solar evolutionary models with slightly increased initial masses of M_i = 1.01 to 1.07 M_sun; for each mass, we considered three different mass loss scenarios. We then tested whether these models were consistent with the current high-precision helioseismic observations. The relatively modest mass loss rates in these models are consistent with observational limits from young stars and estimates of the past solar wind obtained from lunar rocks, and do not significantly affect the solar lithium depletion. For appropriate initial masses, all three mass loss scenarios are capable of yielding a solar flux 3.8 Gyr ago high enough to be consistent with water on ancient Mars. We find that all of our mass-losing solar models are consistent with the helioseismic observations. The early solar mass loss of a few percent does indeed leave a small fingerprint on the Sun's internal structure. However, for helioseismology to significantly constrain early solar mass loss would require higher accuracy in the observed solar parameters and input physics, namely, by a factor of about 3 for the observed solar surface composition, and a factor of 2 for the solar interior opacities, the pp nuclear reaction rate, and the diffusion constants for gravitational settling.

description: Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a Gram-positive bacteria known for causing a wide range of illnesses in neonates, pregnant woman, elderly, and immunocompromised people. Intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis is the current prevention measure for pregnant women used worldwide and has been highly successful thus far. However, it is a dangerous long-term approach with the rising antimicrobial resistance crisis. Vaccine development has been ongoing for several decades and remains a key area of study for GBS researchers worldwide. Finding an effective vaccine target candidate that can be packaged in a safe and inexpensive manner is a continuous challenge. The use of metal ions, such as zinc, as an antibacterial has dated back centuries. Its potential to be harnessed against GBS shows promise as an alternative treatment and prevention option, leading to recent characterisation of GBS zinc efflux machinery. It has been established that GBS employs robust strategies to overcome zinc stress and mediate survival. While bacteria require essential nutrient metals for survival, it is presented with nutritional challenges imposed by the vertebrate host during infection. One such strategy is intoxication of invading bacterial pathogens with transition metals. This work assessed 16 strains of GBS from diverse capsular serotypes, sequence types and isolation sources for susceptibility or resistance toward zinc intoxication. The findings show that strains of a variety of clinical backgrounds, capsular types and sequence-types differ in their resistance phenotypes toward zinc intoxication. For example, cpsV and ST-19 were found to be highly resistant to zinc stress, whereas cpsIII and ST-7 and ST-17 were most sensitive to metal intoxication. It is also first reported here that IS1381, a previously identified transposon, has been found in the main zinc export gene, czcD, of strain 834. Investigation of its possible involvement in strain 834’s increased resistance phenotype was inconclusive.

description: We consider the problem of learning the link parameters as well as the structure of a binary-valued pairwise Markov model. Under sparsity assumption, we propose a method based on $l_1$- regularized logistic regression, which estimate globally the whole set of edges and link parameters. Unlike the more recent methods discussed in literature that learn the edges and the corresponding link parameters one node at a time, in this work we propose a method that learns all the edges and corresponding link parameters simultaneously for all nodes. The idea behind this proposal is to exploit the reciprocal information of the nodes between each other during the estimation process. Numerical experiments highlight the advantage of this technique and confirm the intuition behind it.

description: The recent measurements of weak lensing by large-scale structure present significant new opportunities for studies of the matter distribution in the universe. Here, we present a new cosmic shear survey carried out with the Echelle Spectrograph and Imager on the Keck II telescope. This covers a total of 0.6 square degrees in 173 fields probing independent lines of sight, hence minimising the impact of sample variance. We also extend our measurements of cosmic shear with the William Herschel Telescope (Bacon, Refregier & Ellis 2000) to a survey area of 1 square degree. The joint measurements with two independent telescopes allow us to assess the impact of instrument-specific systematics, one of the major difficulties in cosmic shear measurements. For both surveys, we carefully account for effects such as smearing by the point spread function and shearing due to telescope optics. We find negligible residuals in both cases and recover mutually consistent cosmic shear signals, significant at the 5.1 sigma level. We present a simple method to compute the statistical error in the shear correlation function, including non-gaussian sample variance and the covariance between different angular bins. We measure shear correlation functions for all fields and use these to ascertain the amplitude of the matter power spectrum, finding sigma_8 (Omega_m/0.3)^0.68 = 0.97 \pm 0.13 with 0.14

description: To empirically calibrate the IR surface brightness fluctuation (SBF) distance scale and probe the properties of unresolved stellar populations, we measured fluctuations in 65 galaxies using NICMOS on the Hubble Space Telescope. The early-type galaxies in this sample include elliptical and S0 galaxies and spiral bulges in a variety of environments. Absolute fluctuation magnitudes in the F160W (1.6 micron) filter were derived for each galaxy using previously-measured I-band SBF and Cepheid variable star distances. F160W SBFs can be used to measure distances to early-type galaxies with a relative accuracy of ~10% provided that the galaxy color is known to ~0.035 mag or better. Near-IR fluctuations can also reveal the properties of the most luminous stellar populations in galaxies. Comparison of F160W fluctuation magnitudes and optical colors to stellar population model predictions suggests that bluer elliptical and S0 galaxies have significantly younger populations than redder ones, and may also be more metal-rich. There are no galaxies in this sample with fluctuation magnitudes consistent with old, metal-poor (t>5 Gyr, [Fe/H]

Effects of finite-range interactions on the one-electron spectral properties of TTF-TCNQ

description: The electronic dispersions of the quasi-one-dimensional organic conductor TTF-TCNQ are studied by angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) with higher angular resolution and accordingly smaller step width than in previous studies. Our experimental results suggest that a refinement of the single-band 1D Hubbard model that includes finite-range interactions is needed to explain these photoemission data. To account for the effects of these finite-range interactions we employ a mobile quantum impurity scheme that describes the scattering of fractionalized particles at energies above the standard Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid limit. Our theoretical predictions agree quantitatively with the location in the $(k,ω)$ plane of the experimentally observed ARPES structures at these higher energies. The nonperturbative microscopic mechanisms that control the spectral properties are found to simplify in terms of the exotic scattering of the charge fractionalized particles. We find that the scattering occurs in the unitary limit of (minus) infinite scattering length, which limit occurs within neutron-neutron interactions in shells of neutron stars and in the scattering of ultracold atoms but not in perturbative electronic condensed-matter systems. Our results provide important physical information on the exotic processes involved in the finite-range electron interactions that control the high-energy spectral properties of TTF-TCNQ. Our results also apply to a wider class of 1D and quasi-1D materials and systems that are of theoretical and potential technological interest.

title: Securitization in Light of the Global Financial Crisis: Towards an Optimal Regulatory Framework with Special Reference to Sri Lanka

subject: Credit Default Swaps (CDSs)
subject: US Dodd Frank Act 2010

description: In simple terms, asset-backed securitization is a secondary market financing technique used by banks or other financial institutions (originators), which involves the creation and pooling of categories of similar assets of many borrowers, and the subsequent ‘sale’ of the assets to a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV). The assets are then re-packaged, underwritten and sold as asset-backed securities (ABSs). Inter alia, asset-backed securitization is used to transfer credit risk and liquidity risk and lower bank funding costs; it is also used for product diversification and for balance sheet management purposes. The SPV then pays the originator by issuing securities to investors. The SPV is established for the sole purpose of acquiring an asset pool and issuing bonds. In Sri Lanka, the SPV is invariably structured as a trust, which holds assets on behalf of her beneficiaries, the investors. Adopting an economic-analysis-of-law or ‘lexonomic’ approach, embedded in second best efficiency criteria, this thesis examines the legal mechanisms by which asset-backed securitization and Credit Default Swaps (CDSs) in the years preceding the Global Financial Crisis may have facilitated the GFC. The thesis analyses actual securitization arrangements together with key regulatory solutions (eg the US Dodd Frank Act 2010) against theoretically optimal contracting and regulatory arrangements derived from the welfare and financial economics literatures, which are used as benchmarks for analysis. Significant shortfalls between actual and theoretically optimal arrangements form the basis of recommendations for reform to law or practice, either in the interests of ‘better’ contractual design or (perhaps) more effective regulatory design, whether within or between jurisdictions.

title: Cooperation and Conflict in Transboundary River Basins: The Mekong, Danube and La Plata River Basins
Creators: name: Haefner, Andrea Muriel
Publisher: name: Griffith University
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: International water resources
subject: Mekong Basin
subject: Danube Basin
subject: La Plata River Basin

description: This thesis investigates the phenomenon of cooperation and conflict over international water resources. In particular, it focuses on transboundary river cooperation between riparian states with asymmetrical power relations, where the dominant power is an upstream country. As argued by realist scholars, cooperation in international relations is limited. This is especially the case in regards to water resource management, when the upstream country is the regional dominant power as the asymmetric power situation makes bargaining between countries more difficult. The thesis challenges this assumption by asking the following main question: To what extent do power asymmetries prevent or inhibit cooperation between riparian states over water resources? This then raises the questions of how institutions help to mitigate competition for natural resources and how states interact in multilateral settings. To answer the central research question, the thesis develops four hypotheses and tests them by using three case studies: the Mekong, Danube and La Plata River Basins. Overall, the research argues that cooperation in transboundary river basins is possible in asymmetric power relations. It also argues that power is important, but that material power is not the only form of power that can be used by states. The research shows that, aside from the power relationship between the riparians, issue linkage and bargaining plays a central role in addition to the influence of the regional landscape where the basin is located. Further, the thesis argues that there are nuances between cooperation and conflict, and that these dynamics can change over time.

description: The observational success and simplicity of the $Λ$CDM model, and the explicit analytic perturbations thereof, set the standard for any alternative cosmology. It therefore serves as a comparison ground and as a test case for methods which can be extended and applied to other cosmological models. In this paper we introduce dynamical systems and methods to describe linear scalar and tensor perturbations of the $Λ$CDM model, which serve as pedagogical examples that show the global illustrative powers of dynamical systems in the context of cosmological perturbations. We also study the asymptotic properties of the shear and Weyl tensors and discuss the validity of the perturbations as approximations to the Einstein field equations. Furthermore, we give a new approximation for the linear growth rate, $f(z) = \frac{d\ln δ}{d\ln a} = Ω^{\frac{6}{11}}_m - \frac{1}{70}(1-Ω_m)^{\frac{5}{2}}$, where $z$ is the cosmological redshift, $Ω_m=Ω_m(z)$, while $a$ is the background scale factor, and show that it is much more accurate than the previous ones in the literature.
