On the dust and gas content of high-redshift galaxies hosting obscured AGN in the CDF-S
Creators: name: D'Amato, Quirino
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: Submillimeter Galaxies (SMGs) at high redshift are among the best targets to investigate the early evolutionary phases in the lifetime of massive systems, during which large gas reservoirs sustain vigorous star formation and efficiently feed the central, buried Super Massive Black Hole (SMBH), until it enters into luminous Quasar (QSO) phase, quenching the star formation. I will present the analysis of new ALMA band 4 (1.8-2.4 mm) data of six obscured QSOs (log(N_H) from X-ray spactra > 23) hosted by SMGs at redshift > 2.5 in the 7 Ms Chandra Deep Field South (CDF-S), and I will show their properties in terms of continuum emission and high-J CO transitions. Sizes and masses of the galaxies are measured to estimate whether and to which extent the host ISM may contribute to the nuclear absorption, under different geometry assumption. We found that these galaxies are massive (log(M_gas) ~ 10, log(M_dust) ~ 8) and compact (< 3 kpc) systems and that the ISM has column densities up to log(N_H) =24-25, comparable with those derived from the X-ray spectra, concluding that the galaxy ISM can substantially contribute to the AGN obscuration.
Comparing Molecular Gas Tracers at z~2: Do CO and dust continuum emission trace the same regions of the ISM?
Creators: name: Kaasinen, Melanie
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: We have compared resolved and unresolved observations of the CO and dust continuum emission from star-forming galaxies at z~2 (taken with ALMA). The molecular gas phase of the interstellar medium is a crucial component of star-forming galaxies, hosting, and providing the fuel for, star formation. Constraining the total mass and spatial distribution of molecular gas is therefore critical to understanding the evolutionary state of a galaxy, which can be characterised by how efficiently, and where, star formation is occurring. To determine the total molecular gas mass of high-z galaxies, the community currently relies on two main approaches: measuring either (1) a CO line luminosity, or, (2) dust continuum emission. Thanks to ALMA, these molecular gas tracers have now been observed for large samples of high-z galaxies, and it is assumed that the two lead to equivalent measurements of the molecular gas content. In our recent work we showed that, at least for some galaxies, this assumption is indeed correct. However, recent low-resolution imaging indicates that the CO and dust continuum may trace different galactic regions, with the dust continuum emission being more centrally concentrated. We investigate this claim using matched, high-resolution observations of CO and the dust continuum in z~2 main sequence galaxies. I will present our comparisons of the CO and dust-derived molecular gas properties of star-forming galaxies at z~2, and, will discuss the implications for future molecular gas studies with ALMA.

description: We present the first real-time method to capture the full global 3D skeletal pose of a human in a stable, temporally consistent manner using a single RGB camera. Our method combines a new convolutional neural network (CNN) based pose regressor with kinematic skeleton fitting. Our novel fully-convolutional pose formulation regresses 2D and 3D joint positions jointly in real time and does not require tightly cropped input frames. A real-time kinematic skeleton fitting method uses the CNN output to yield temporally stable 3D global pose reconstructions on the basis of a coherent kinematic skeleton. This makes our approach the first monocular RGB method usable in real-time applications such as 3D character control---thus far, the only monocular methods for such applications employed specialized RGB-D cameras. Our method's accuracy is quantitatively on par with the best offline 3D monocular RGB pose estimation methods. Our results are qualitatively comparable to, and sometimes better than, results from monocular RGB-D approaches, such as the Kinect. However, we show that our approach is more broadly applicable than RGB-D solutions, i.e. it works for outdoor scenes, community videos, and low quality commodity RGB cameras.

description: While evidence shows that probiotic supplementation exerts beneficial effects on developing children and animals, it is unclear whether it would exert equal or similar effects on adult human and animals. In this study, response to probiotic lactobacilli in ileal mucosa of suckling and adult mice was compared by evaluating gene expression profiles using DNA microarray. Two probiotic strains, Lactobacillus gasseri CP2305s and Lactobacillus plantarum CPA305C were used. Supplementation of probiotics for 7 days affected completely different genes in suckling and adult mice, regardless of the probiotic strain. The results suggested that ileal mucosal responses to probiotics are age stage specific. Response to probiotic lactobacillus completely differ between suckling and adult mice.

Gas and star formation at sub-100 pc scales in lensed hyper-luminous SMGs at Cosmic Noon
Creators: name: Kamieneski, Patrick
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: I will present the results of the ALMA twenty-six arcmin^2 survey of GOODS-S at one millimeter (ASAGAO). ASAGAO is a 1.2mm deep and wide area (26 arcmin^2) survey on a contiguous field. By combining with archival data in the GOODS-South field, we obtained a deeper map in the same region (1sigma ~ 30-60 uJy/beam), providing the largest sample of sources (45 sources at 4.5sigma) among ALMA blank-field surveys. Multi-wavelength analysis of the ASAGAO sources found that the median redshift is 2.4 and they are located on the massive end of the main sequence. ALMA-detected K-band sources exhibit systematically larger IR excess (IRX) compared to ALMA-undetected sources, suggesting that they have different dust properties such as dust distributions or compositions. We created IR luminosity functions (LFs) at z = 1-3, and constrain the faintest luminosity of the LFs at 2.0 < z < 3.0. The LFs are consistent with previous results based on other ALMA and SCUBA-2 observations, which suggests a positive luminosity evolution and negative density evolution with increasing redshift. We found sources without counterparts in deep H and K-band images, whose SEDs suggest z ~> 3-5. Their contribution to the cosmic SFR density would be consistent with bright SMGs, demonstrating the importance of ALMA unbiased survey for detecting dust-obscured star formation activities in the early universe, which have been missed in previous optical/NIR surveys.

description: We examine whether chief executive officer (CEO) locality affects firms’ cost of debt. Drawing upon place attachment theories suggesting individuals develop affective bonds with their hometowns, we find robust evidence that firms employing local CEOs tend to have a lower cost of debt than those with non-local CEOs. More importantly, we find that regional heterogeneity plays an important role in shaping the relationship from economic and cultural perspectives. The effect is more pronounced in regions where the economies and marketisation are less developed. Furthermore, we show that the effect of CEO locality is stronger in regions with collectivism and regions with low social trust. Our findings hold up to numerous robustness checks and endogeneity tests. Overall, our study highlights the prominent role of the geographically segmented CEO labour markets as an intrinsic but underexplored non-contractual factor for value creation.
Various Local Heating Events in the Earliest Phase of Flux Emergence

description: Emerging flux regions (EFRs) are known to exhibit various sporadic local heating events in the lower atmosphere. To investigate the characteristics of these events, especially to link the photospheric magnetic fields and atmospheric dynamics, we analyze Hinode, IRIS, and SDO data of a new EFR in NOAA AR 12401. Out of 151 bright points (BPs) identified in Hinode/SOT Ca images, 29 are overlapped by an SOT/SP scan. Seven BPs in the EFR center possess mixed-polarity magnetic backgrounds in the photosphere. Their IRIS UV spectra (e.g., Si IV 1402.8 A) are strongly enhanced and red- or blue-shifted with tails reaching +/- 150 km/s, which is highly suggestive of bi-directional jets, and each brightening lasts for 10 - 15 minutes leaving flare-like light curves. Most of this group show bald patches, the U-shaped photospheric magnetic loops. Another 10 BPs are found in unipolar regions at the EFR edges. They are generally weaker in UV intensities and exhibit systematic redshifts with Doppler speeds up to 40 km/s, which could exceed the local sound speed in the transition region. Both types of BPs show signs of strong temperature increase in the low chromosphere. These observational results support the physical picture that heating events in the EFR center are due to magnetic reconnection within cancelling undular fields like Ellerman bombs, while the peripheral heating events are due to shocks or strong compressions caused by fast downflows along the overlying arch filament system.

description: Research examining the economic effects of urban polycentricity remains inconclusive. We contribute to this debate by developing a longitudinal framework in which changes in polycentricity in Chinese urban regions are linked with changes in total factor productivity. While we find no evidence of urban polycentricity being conducive to economic growth, we observe that the relationship depends on population size and the interactions between cities. We also find that cities borrow size from nearby cities in large urban regions, contributing to regional economic growth. We use our findings to reflect on China’s regional economic and urban development strategies.

description: This paper explores the effect of national partisanship and Euroscepticism on individuals’ causal responsibility attribution in European multilevel democracies. It is particularly focused on the average differences in responsibility attribution in federal and non-federal states, as well as in countries belonging to different European Union enlargement waves. Using a pooled dataset of the 2004, 2009, and 2014 European Election Studies, results show that when poor economic outcomes are at stake, partisans of the national incumbent in federal states are more likely to assign responsibility to regional governments following a blame-attribution logic, while this logic is absent in non-federal states. Likewise, Eurosceptic individuals are more likely to assign responsibility to European authorities when they hold negative views of the economy and they belong to countries that have been European Union members for a longer period.

description: It is commonly believed that patterns of social ties affect individuals' economic status. Here, we translate this concept into an operational definition at the network level, which allows us to infer the economic wellbeing of individuals through a measure of their location and influence in the social network. We analyze two large-scale sources: telecommunications and financial data of a whole country's population. Our results show that an individual's location, measured as the optimal collective influence to the structural integrity of the social network, is highly correlated with personal economic status. The observed social network patterns of influence mimics the patterns of economic inequality. For pragmatic use and validation, we carry out a marketing campaign that shows a three-fold increase in response rate by targeting individuals identified by our social network metrics as compared to random targeting. Our strategy can also be useful in maximizing the effects of large-scale economic stimulus policies.

Using data from 22.47 million enterprises from the China Economic Census of 2004, 2008 and 2013, we found that (1) on average, the internet promotes urban employment agglomeration, but this agglomeration effect diminishes marginally as internet penetration increases; (2) the internet promotes the secondary sector to agglomerate first and then disperse, while it only has an agglomeration effect on the tertiary sector; and (3) improvements in the transportation infrastructure diminish the internet’s agglomeration effect.

description: Stress enhances the risk for psychiatric disorders such as anxiety and depression. Stress responses vary across sex and may underlie the heightened vulnerability to psychopathology in females. Here, we examined the influence of acute immobilization stress (AIS) and a two-day short-term forced swim stress (FS) on neural activation in multiple cortical and subcortical brain regions, implicated as targets of stress and in the regulation of neuroendocrine stress responses, in male and female rats using Fos as a neural activity marker. AIS evoked a sex-dependent pattern of neural activation within the cingulate and infralimbic subdivisions of the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), lateral septum (LS), habenula, and hippocampal subfields. The degree of neural activation in the mPFC, LS, and habenula was higher in males. Female rats exhibited reduced Fos positive cell numbers in the dentate gyrus hippocampal subfield, an effect not observed in males. We addressed whether the sexually dimorphic neural activation pattern noted following AIS was also observed with the short-term stress of FS. In the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus and the amygdala, FS similar to AIS resulted in robust increases in neural activation in both sexes. The pattern of neural activation evoked by FS was distinct across sexes, with a heightened neural activation noted in the prelimbic mPFC subdivision and hippocampal subfields in females and differed from the pattern noted with AIS. This indicates that the sex differences in neural activation patterns observed within stress-responsive brain regions are dependent on the nature of stressor experience.
Against free will in the contemporary natural sciences

description: The claim of the freedom of the will (understood as an individual who is transcendent to Nature) in the name of XXth century scientific knowledge, against the perspective of XVIIIth-XIXth century scientific materialism, is analysed and refuted in the present paper. The hypothesis of reductionism finds no obstacle within contemporary natural sciences. Determinism in classical physics is irrefutable, unless classical physics is itself refuted. From quantum mechanics, some authors argue that free will is possible because there is an ontological indeterminism in the natural laws, and that the mind is responsible for the wave function collapse of matter, which leads to a choice among the different possibilities for the body. However, here I defend the opposite thesis because indeterminism does not imply free will, and because the considerations about an autonomous mind sending orders to the body is against neuroscience or evolutionary theories about human beings. The quantum theory of measurement can be interpreted without the intervention of human minds, but other fields of science cannot contemplate the mentalist scenario. A fatalistic or materialist view, which denies the possibility of a free will, makes much more sense in scientific terms.

Pragmatic romance: civil union, 'emerging adulthood', and the effect on marriage in France

Publisher: name: Macquarie University

description: Marriage rates in France have declined since the introduction of the Pacte Civile de Solidarité (PACS) or Civil Union Pact in 1999. Although instituted for same-sex couples, over the past decade, a significant number of heterosexual couples chose to PACS instead of, or prior to, getting married. This research studies the effect of introducing civil union on marriage in France. Second-wave feminists criticised marriage extensively for its exclusive, oppressive nature and suggested that civil unions might be an alternative means to legally recognise relationships. However, the French case study of PACS defies expectations. PACS is used as a transitionary union during ‘emerging adulthood,’ late teens to mid- to late-twenties, prior to establishing a nuclear family. Unlike marriage, PACS is easily dissolved, allowing individuals to move in and out of PACSes. PACS has placed marriage semiotically into a ‘higher stakes’ category, interviews reveal, especially given the prevalence of divorce, increasing the social value and clarifying what marriage signifies. Couples aspire to marry as much or more than in the past and look to PACS as a stepping-stone to marriage that requires less emotional, material or symbolic commitment. This research begins to explain the drop in marriage rates but suggests reasons why marriage rates are still higher than those of PACS. PACS is refining, not replacing, the significance of marriage in France.

description: Stellar evolution models are most uncertain for evolved massive stars. Asteroseismology based on high-precision uninterrupted space photometry has become a new way to test the outcome of stellar evolution theory and was recently applied to a multitude of stars, but not yet to massive evolved supergiants.Our aim is to detect, analyse and interpret the photospheric and wind variability of the O9.5Iab star HD 188209 from Kepler space photometry and long-term high-resolution spectroscopy. We used Kepler scattered-light photometry obtained by the nominal mission during 1460d to deduce the photometric variability of this O-type supergiant. In addition, we assembled and analysed high-resolution high signal-to-noise spectroscopy taken with four spectrographs during some 1800d to interpret the temporal spectroscopic variability of the star. The variability of this blue supergiant derived from the scattered-light space photometry is in full in agreement with the one found in the ground-based spectroscopy. We find significant low-frequency variability that is consistently detected in all spectral lines of HD 188209. The photospheric variability propagates into the wind, where it has similar frequencies but slightly higher amplitudes. The morphology of the frequency spectra derived from the long-term photometry and spectroscopy points towards a spectrum of travelling waves with frequency values in the range expected for an evolved O-type star. Convectively-driven internal gravity waves excited in the stellar interior offer the most plausible explanation of the detected variability.

description: Five types of electrostatic complex (macromolecular complexes, core–shell particles, and mixed homogeneous particles) were formed between whey protein (whey protein concentrate [WPC]) and pectin. By controlling the thermal treatment, composition, and order of mixing, it was possible to produce complexes that for the same biopolymer concentration gave differing functional properties. All protein–pectin complexes showed higher foaming ability and stability than native or heated WPC without pectin. Native WPC had higher emulsifying ability than protein–pectin complexes but exhibited the lowest emulsion stability. Ingredients based on such ideas might offer the food manufacturer greater control over food structure, stability, and organoleptic properties.

description: Is there only one type of successful entrepreneurial ecosystem? This paper applies qualitative comparative analysis to identify and analyse configurations of regional entrepreneurial ecosystems in Europe. We test two rivalling causal logics: a completeness logic stating that all entrepreneurial ecosystem elements need to be present and the weakest link is the most important constraint, and a substitutability logic arguing that elements are substitutable. High entrepreneurship outputs can be realised with different entrepreneurial ecosystem configurations. However, focusing on regions with the highest entrepreneurship outputs, our results point at the importance of a complete entrepreneurial ecosystem.

description: The double polarization observable $E$ and the helicity dependent cross sections $σ_{1/2}$ and $σ_{3/2}$ were measured for $η$ photoproduction from quasi-free protons and neutrons. The circularly polarized tagged photon beam of the A2 experiment at the Mainz MAMI accelerator was used in combination with a longitudinally polarized deuterated butanol target. The almost $4π$ detector setup of the Crystal Ball and TAPS is ideally suited to detect the recoil nucleons and the decay photons from $η\rightarrow 2γ$ and $η\rightarrow 3π^0$. The results show that the narrow structure previously observed in $η$ photoproduction from the neutron is only apparent in $σ_{1/2}$ and hence, most likely related to a spin-1/2 amplitude. Nucleon resonances that contribute to this partial wave in $η$ production are only $N1/2^-$ ($S_{11}$) and $N1/2^+$ ($P_{11}$). Furthermore, the extracted Legendre coefficients of the angular distributions for $σ_{1/2}$ are in good agreement with recent reaction model predictions assuming a narrow resonance in the $P_{11}$ wave as the origin of this structure.

description: Several porphyrin-chromophore conjugate systems have been synthesized for future energy /electron transfer studies. This thesis discusses the systematic approach used in the synthesis of three chromophores (boranils, α-cyanostilbenes and 1,3-diketone boron complexes) linked toporphyrins via either covalent bonds or supramolecular interactions. The UV-visible absorption and fluorescence emission spectra, together with the relative quantum yields of the conjugates were examined in order to establish any structure-property relationships that may exist. Three different porphyrin frameworks were prepared for use in the syntheses of covalently linked porphyrin-chromophore conjugates. The first of these was a porphyrin ring mono-functionalised on one of the meso-aryl rings. The second framework had a functionalised phenyl ring connected to animidazole ring that was fused to the porphyrin at adjacent β-pyrrolic carbons. The third framework was functionalised on a quinoxaline ring that was fused to the porphyrin at adjacent β-pyrroliccarbons. Porphyrin-boranil conjugates were synthesized by condensation of amine-functionalised porphyrins with salicylaldehyde or 2-hydroxynaphthaldehyde to afford the corresponding 2-hydroxyaryl imines (also known as anils), followed by reaction with boron trifluoride to afford the boron complexes. Aldehyde-functionalised porphyrins were condensed with the reactive methylene group present in 4-nitrophenylacetonitrile, 4-bromophenylacetonitrile and benzyl cyanide to afford α-cyanostilbeneporphyrin conjugates. Two series of 1,3-diketone boron complexes were synthesized for future studies involving a supramolecular approach to porphyrin-chromophore conjugate assembly. One series contains a 4-hydroxyphenyl unit (for coordination to tin(IV) porphyrins) and the second series contains a 4-pyridyl unit (for coordination to zinc(II) porphyrins). A titration experiment (monitored with UV visible spectroscopy) was conducted with one of the 4-pyridyl appended 1,3-diketone boron complexes and a zinc(II) porphyrin. The results indicated that a complex was formed. The 4-pyridyl appended 1,3-diketone boron complexes were converted to their N-methylpyridinium salts, and a computational study was also conducted to calculate their non-linear optical properties.
Levelling up: the need for an institutionally coordinated approach to regional and national productivity

description: The paper argues that the UK’s endemic regional–national productivity problems cannot be addressed by the UK’s current institutional and governance set-up. This paper argues that the establishment of an appropriate institution, body or forum is essential in order to fill the current governance vacuum. The appropriate nature, form and logic of such a body can be gleaned by observing various international comparator bodies which undertake different aspects of the types of roles and tasks that a UK body must necessarily undertake. The options for a UK body comprising elements of these comparator institutions are discussed in detail.

description: Purpose: To investigate the usability and effectiveness of a functional hand orthosis, combined with electrical stimulation adjunct to therapy-as-usual, on functional use of the moderately/severely impaired hand in sub-acute stroke patients. Materials and Methods: Single case experiment (A-B-A′-design) involving eight sub-acute stroke patients. The functional hand orthosis and electrical stimulation were used for six weeks, four days/week, 45′/day. Outcome measures: Action_Research_Arm_Test, Intrinsic_Motivation_Inventory. Results: At group level, patients improved 19.2 points (median value) (interquartile range: [8.8, 29.5] points) on the Action_Research_Arm_Test (p = 0.001). After correcting for spontaneous recovery and/or therapy-as-usual effects Action_Research_Arm_Test scores still improved significantly (median: 17.2 points; interquartile range: [5.1, 29.2] points) (p = 0.002).

description: Using data for over four decades, we examine the ageing of Swedish municipalities and if there has been convergence or divergence across time and space, where we differentiate across the urban–rural hierarchy. As migration is claimed to be a moderating factor in the ageing of places, we assess how the share of immigrants relates to ageing patterns. Our findings show that the share of older individuals increases in more peripheral localities and that there has been convergence across municipalities. However, the share of foreign population is negatively related to the ageing profile of a place.
