description: Η παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία αποτελεί σχολιασμένη μετάφραση της συλλογής Amour à mort (Έρωτας ως τον θάνατο) του περουβιανού ποιητή Cesar Moro από τα γαλλικά προς τα ελληνικά. Η ζωή του ποιητή, η σχέση του με το υπερρεαλιστικό κίνημα και η μετέπειτα αποστασιοποίησή του από αυτό σχολιάζονται σε μία σύντομη εισαγωγή. Η διγλωσσία του ποιητή ερμηνεύεται υπό το φως της θεωρίας του Michel Foucault για τους «άλλους χώρους» και της σκέψης του Gilles Deleuze για μία ελάσσονα λογοτεχνία (πρβλ. και την ερμηνεία της Gaelle Hourdin που βλέπει στην ποίηση του Moro το ψεύδισμα του Deleuze σε « “Le mystère de l’évident” Élements d’approche de la poétique moréenne »). Στην ποίηση που θέτει σε αμφισβήτηση την γλώσσα καθεαυτήν, η μετάφραση απαντά με μία προσέγγιση αποκλίνουσα, σύμφωνα με την κατηγοριοποίηση του James Holmes, (“Forms of Verse Translation and the Translation of Verse Form” σε Translated! Papers on Literary Translation and Translation Studies, Rodopi, Amsterdam, 1988).
description: The present thesis is an annotated translation of Peruvian Cesar Moro’s collection of poems Amour à mort (Love till death), from French to Greek. The poet’s life, his relationship to surrealism and consecutive dissociation from the movement are discussed in a brief introduction to the translation. The poet’s bilingualism is addressed in the light of Michel Foucault’s theory on other spaces, and Gilles Deleuze’s thinking on a minor literature (cf. Gaelle Hourdin’s interpretation of Moro’s poetry as a vital stammering according to Deleuze’s theory in « “Le mystère de l’évident” Élements d’approche de la poétique moréenne »). In response to Moro’s dissident approach to the language medium itself, I have followed an extraneous approach for the translation according to the classification proposed by James Holmes, (“Forms of Verse Translation and the Translation of Verse Form” in Translated! Papers on Literary Translation and Translation Studies, Rodopi, Amsterdam, 1988).
Old-growth forests for wilderness preservation and timber production in British Columbia: a goal programming model
Creators: name: Wang, Sen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The B.C. government’s Protected Areas Strategy (PAS), aimed at protecting 12 per cent of the province’s land base, will affect the old-growth forests considerably. Based on the Valhalla proposal, at least 0.65 million hectares of old growth will need to be set aside as wilderness. Given the nature of multiple uses of the old growth, a Goal Programming approach is appropriate for the assessment of the preservation plan. For model construction, six goal items have been identified: the net benefits from old-growth stands, wilderness expansion, direct forest employment, government stumpage revenue, sustained yield, and current timber harvesting. Targets have been determined for each. On the basis of the results from a survey, goals are ranked in terms of priority, and their achievement is attempted in a sequential order to seek minimal deviations from the specified levels. The Goal Programming model indicates that old-growth preservation on the scale of the Valhalla proposal will cause reduction in the province’s level of direct forest employment, and the magnitude of the adverse effects is variable, depending on the intensity of the goal constraints concerned. The goals of net benefits and Crown revenue from stumpage charges do not appear to be vulnerable, but the conflicts between the preservation plan and the goals of long run sustained yield and current timber harvest are serious.

description: Following the collapse of their cores, some of the massive binary stars that populate our Universe are expected to form merging binaries composed of black holes and neutron stars. Gravitational-wave observations of the resulting compact binaries can reveal precious details on the inner workings of the supernova mechanism and the subsequent formation of compact objects. Within the framework of the population-synthesis code MOBSE, we present the implementation of a new supernova model that relies on the compactness of the collapsing star. The model has two free parameters, namely the compactness threshold that separates the formation of black holes and that of neutron stars, and the fraction of the envelope that falls back onto the newly formed black holes. We compare this model extensively against other prescriptions that are commonly used in binary population synthesis. We find that the cleanest signatures of the role of the pre-supernova stellar compactness are (i) the relative formation rates of the different kinds of compact binaries, which mainly depend on the compactness threshold parameter, and (ii) the location of the upper edge of the mass gap between the lightest black holes and the heaviest neutron stars, which mainly depends on the fallback fraction.

description: Gravitational theories generated from Lagrangians of the form f(R) are considered. The spherically symmetric solutions to these equations are discussed, paying particular attention to features that differ from the standard Schwarzschild solution. The asymptotic form of solutions is described, as is the lack of validity of Birkhoff's theorem. Exact solutions are presented which illustrate these points and their stability and geodesics are investigated.

description: A tuning of Fermi level (E$_F$) near Weyl points is one of the promising approaches to realize large anomalous Nernst effect (ANE). In this work, we introduce an efficient approach to tune E$_F$ for the Co$_2$MnAl Weyl semimetal through a layer-by-layer combinatorial deposition of Co$_2$MnAl$_{1-x}$Si$_x$ (CMAS) thin film. A single-crystalline composition-spread film with x varied from 0 to 1 was fabricated. The structural characterization reveals the formation of single-phase CMAS alloy throughout the composition range with a gradual improvement of L2$_1$ order with x similar to the co-sputtered single layered film, which validates the present fabrication technique. Hard X-ray photoemission spectroscopy for the CMAS composition-spread film directly confirmed the rigid band-like E$_F$ shift of approximately 0.40 eV towards the composition gradient direction from x = 0 to 1. The anomalous Ettingshausen effect (AEE), the reciprocal of ANE, has been measured for whole x range using a single strip along the composition gradient using the lock-in thermography technique. The similarity of the x dependence of observed AEE and ANE signals clearly demonstrates that the AEE measurement on the composition spread film is an effective approach to investigate the composition dependence of ANE of Weyl semimetal thin films and realize the highest performance without fabricating several films, which will accelerate the research for ANE-based energy harvesting

description: Advances in cosmic microwave background (CMB) science depend on increasing the number of sensitive detectors observing the sky. New instruments deploy large arrays of superconducting transition-edge sensor (TES) bolometers tiled densely into ever larger focal planes. High multiplexing factors reduce the thermal loading on the cryogenic receivers and simplify their design. We present the design of focal-plane modules with an order of magnitude higher multiplexing factor than has previously been achieved with TES bolometers. We focus on the novel cold readout component, which employs microwave SQUID multiplexing ($μ$mux). Simons Observatory will use 49 modules containing 60,000 bolometers to make exquisitely sensitive measurements of the CMB. We validate the focal-plane module design, presenting measurements of the readout component with and without a prototype detector array of 1728 polarization-sensitive bolometers coupled to feedhorns. The readout component achieves a $95\%$ yield and a 910 multiplexing factor. The median white noise of each readout channel is 65 $\mathrm{pA/\sqrt{Hz}}$. This impacts the projected SO mapping speed by $< 8\%$, which is less than is assumed in the sensitivity projections. The results validate the full functionality of the module. We discuss the measured performance in the context of SO science requirements, which are exceeded.

On the QCD corrections to Vainshtein's theorem for VVA correlator

description: We point out that, contrary to existing claims of the opposite, Vainshtein's theorem on the non-renormalization of the correlator of an axial and two vector currents, is only valid in the chiral limit. When quarks, that contribute to the correlator, are massive, the QCD corrections do not vanish and the transversal and longitudinal functions are renormalized differently. We compute those corrections and study their implications for QCD effects in electroweak corrections to the muon anomalous magnetic moment.

description: Amid concerns about skills gaps amongst life-scientists, bioinformatics courses have been made available worldwide. Surveys show that training is often sought at the ‘point-of-need’; but skills acquired at this late stage are quickly lost. The earlier computational thinking and bioinformatics skills are engrained, the more likely they are to be retained. This argues for investment in training at undergraduate level – or sooner – so that data-analysis and scripting become fundamental skills for biologists. Here, we review initiatives from across the world to incorporate bioinformatics even earlier in the education cycle. We also highlight a range of open, standardised training resources being developed by GOBLET to support these and other educational enterprises.

description: Experimental and theoretical studies of fluctuations in nucleus-nucleus interactions at high energies have started to play a major role in understanding of the concept of strong interactions. The elaborated procedures have been developed to disentangle different processes happening during nucleus-nucleus collisions. The fluctuations caused by a variation of the number of nucleons which participated in a collision are frequently considered the unwanted one. The methods to eliminate these fluctuations in fixed-target experiments are reviewed and tested. They can be of key importance in the following ongoing fixed-target heavy-ion experiments: NA61/SHINE at the CERN SPS, STAR-FT at the BNL RHIC, BM\@N at JINR Nuclotron, HADES at the GSI SIS18 and in future experiments such as NA60+ at the CERN SPS, CBM at the FAIR SIS100, JHITS at J-PARC-HI MR.

description: We investigated the influence of the photonic mode density (PMD) on the triplet dynamics of individual chromophores on a dielectric interface by comparing their response in the presence and absence of a nearby gold film. Lifetimes of the excited singlet state were evaluated in ordet to measure directly the PMD at the molecules position. Triplet state lifetimes were simultaneously determined by statistical analysis of the detection time of the fluorescence photons. The observed singlet decay rates are in agreement with the predicted PMD for molecules with different orientations. The triplet decay rate is modified in a fashion correlated to the singlet decay rate. These results show that PMD engineering can lead to an important suppression of the fluorescence, introducing a novel aspect of the physical mechanism to enhance fluorescence intensity in PMD-enhancing systems such as plasmonic devices.

description: We present the results on the physical properties of filaments and dense cores in IC 5146, as a part of the TRAO FUNS project. We carried out On-The-Fly mapping observations using the Taeduk Radio Astronomy Observatory (TRAO) 14m telescope covering about 1 square degree of the area of IC 5146 using various molecular lines. We identified 14 filaments (24 in total, including sub-filaments) from the C$^{18}$O (1-0) data cube and 22 dense cores from the $\rm N_{2}H^{+}$ (1-0) data. We examined the filaments' gravitational criticality, turbulence properties, accretion rate from filaments to dense cores, and relative evolutionary stages of cores. Most filaments in IC 5146 are gravitationally supercritical within the uncertainty, and most dense cores are formed in them. We found that dense cores in the hubs show a systemic velocity shift of ~0.3 km/s between the $\rm N_{2}H^{+}$ and C$^{18}$O gas. Besides, these cores are subsonic or transonic, while the surrounding filament gas is transonic or supersonic, indicating that the cores in the hubs are likely formed by the turbulence dissipation in the colliding turbulent filaments and the merging is still ongoing. We estimated the mass accretion rate of $15 - 35~M_{\odot}~\rm Myr^{-1}$ from the filaments to the dense cores, and the required time scales to collect the current core mass are consistent with the lifetime of the dense cores. The structures of filaments and dense cores in the hub can form by a collision of turbulent converging flows, and mass flow along the filaments to the dense cores may play an important role in forming dense cores.

Paris, 339 (2004), pp. 71-76], fast deterministic algorithms based on spectral methods were derived for the Boltzmann collision operator for a class of interactions including the hard spheres model in dimension three. These algorithms are implemented for the solution of the Boltzmann equation in two and three dimension, first for homogeneous solutions, then for general non homogeneous solutions. The results are compared to explicit solutions, when available, and to Monte-Carlo methods. In particular, the computational cost and accuracy are compared to those of Monte-Carlo methods as well as to those of previous spectral methods. Finally, for inhomogeneous solutions, we take advantage of the great computational efficiency of the method to show an oscillation phenomenon of the entropy functional in the trend to equilibrium, which was suggested in the work [L. Desvillettes and C. Villani, Invent. Math., 159 (2005), pp. 245-316].

A solution for galactic disks with Yukawian gravitational potential

description: We present a new solution for the rotation curves of galactic disks with gravitational potential of the Yukawa type. We follow the technique employed by Toomre in 1963 in the study of galactic disks in the Newtonian theory. This new solution allows an easy comparison between the Newtonian solution and the Yukawian one. Therefore, constraints on the parameters of theories of gravitation can be imposed, which in the weak field limit reduce to Yukawian potentials. We then apply our formulae to the study of rotation curves for a zero-thickness exponential disk and compare it with the Newtonian case studied by Freeman in 1970. As an application of the mathematical tool developed here, we show that in any theory of gravity with a massive graviton (this means a gravitational potential of the Yukawa type), a strong limit can be imposed on the mass (m_g) of this particle. For example, in order to obtain a galactic disk with a scale length of b ~ 10 kpc, we should have a massive graviton of m_g << 10^{-59} g. This result is much more restrictive than those inferred from solar system observations.

Measurements of high-pT neutral mesons in $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 200 GeV Au+Au and Cu+Cu Collisions at RHIC-PHENIX

description: Measurements from the RHIC experiments show strong suppression of high-pT hadrons in central Au+Au collisions. The PHENIX experiment has observed strong suppression of $π^0$ and charged hadron yields in central Au+Au collisions for pT > 5 GeV/c regardless of pT and particle species. The observed suppression is interpreted in terms of energy loss of quarks in a high-density medium. The PHENIX Year-4 Au+Au measurements have extended the pT reach of the $π^0$ spectra to 20 GeV/c. And the PHENIX Year-5 Cu+Cu measurements performed for the study of particle production in a lighter system and they can provide the system-size dependence of the suppression. The suppression patterns of $π^0$/$η$ at high pT are presented for each collision system (Au+Au/Cu+Cu).

description: We study the magnetic moments and transition magnetic moments of $P_c$ and $P_{cs}$ states in the molecular picture. We first revisit the magnetic moments of $P_c$ states as the $S$ wave molecular states without coupled channel effects. The coupled channel effects and the $D$ wave contributions are then investigated carefully. The coupled channel effects contribute to the change of $0.1\sim 0.4$ nuclear magneton $μ_N$ for most cases while the $D$ wave only induces the variation of less than $0.03 ~μ_N$. In addition, we obtain the transition magnetic moments between different $P_c$ states and the related electromagnetic decay widths of $P_c'\to P_cγ$. The magnetic moments of $P_{cs}$ are much different for the assumption of spin being 1/2 and 3/2. The study of electromagnetic properties will help us disclose further the structure of these unconventional states.

description: Due to the lack of space in many city centers, the coexistence of different categories of road users becomes an extremely important issue. Particularly for the coexistence of pedestrians and cyclists, an extensive study is required to develop comfortable and safe infrastructure in order to achieve the target of walking and cycling promotion. For a better understanding of that issue, a survey is conducted on pedestrian infrastructures of the Municipality of Thessaloniki, on which a bicycle lane is located. During the survey, 300 questionnaires were completed which were addressed to pedestrians while measurements were made on each sidewalk (pedestrian and bicycle speed measurements, pedestrian and bicycle flow measurements, sidewalks width and obstacles). The collection of the above data is followed by their statistical analysis. The aim of the analysis is to identify the factors that affect the pedestrians' perception about the presence of bicycles and the sidewalks’ level of service. The research concludes with the development of a mathematical model for determining the perceived level of service on sidewalks with the presence of bicycles

description: In this work, we consider a recently proposed entropy S (called varentropy) defined by a variational relationship dI=beta*(d-) as a measure of uncertainty of random variable x. By definition, varentropy underlies a generalized virtual work principle =0 leading to maximum entropy d(I-beta*)=0. This paper presents an analytical investigation of this maximizable entropy for several distributions such as stretched exponential distribution, kappa-exponential distribution and Cauchy distribution.

This work offers a simple yet fundamental design criterion - valence electron concentration (VEC) > ~9.5 e-/f.u. to populate bonding metallic states at the Fermi level - for selecting elemental compositions that may form rocksalt-structure (B1) high-entropy ceramics with enhanced plasticity (reduced brittleness). Single-phase B1 (HfTaTiWZr)C and (MoNbTaVW)C, chosen as representative systems due to their specific VEC values, are here synthesized and tested. Nanoindentation arrays at various loads and depths statistically show that (HfTaTiWZr)C (VEC=8.6 e-/f.u.) is hard but brittle, whilst (MoNbTaVW)C (VEC=9.4 e-/f.u.) is hard and considerably more resistant to fracture than (HfTaTiWZr)C. Ab initio molecular dynamics simulations and electronic-structure analysis reveal that the improved fracture-resistance of (MoNbTaVW)C subject to tensile and shear deformation may originate from the intrinsic material's ability to undergo local lattice transformations beyond tensile yield points, as well as from relatively facile activation of lattice slip. Additional simulations, carried out to follow the evolution in mechanical properties as a function of temperature, suggest that (MoNbTaVW)C may retain good resistance to fracture up to ~900-1200K, whereas (HfTaTiWZr)C is predicted to remain brittle at all investigated temperatures.

description: Ο σκοπός της παρούσας έρευνας ήταν να καθοριστεί εάν υπάρχει διαφορά στη σταθερότητα στην παραγωγή υπομέγιστης ισομετρικής δύναμης κατά την πελματιαία και ραχιαία κάμψη της ποδοκνημικής του κυρίαρχου κάτω άκρου σε έμπειρους και αρχάριους ασκούμενους με αντιστάσεις. Σαράντα άνδρες ηλικίας 18-32 ετών με κυρίαρχο κάτω άκρο το δεξί χωρίστηκαν σε δύο ομάδες (έμπειροι-αρχάριοι) βάσει της εμπειρίας τους στην προπόνηση με αντιστάσεις. Η αξιολόγηση της μέγιστης ισομετρικής δύναμης πραγματοποιήθηκε με ισοκινητικό δυναμόμετρο Humac-Norm. Το γόνατο βρίσκονταν σε πλήρη έκταση (180°), ενώ η ποδοκνημική στις 110°. Πρώτα πραγματοποιήθηκε η μέτρηση της μέγιστης εκούσιας ισομετρικής συστολής (ΣΠΥΕΙΣ) με εκτέλεση 3 προσπαθειών. Μετά από 48 ώρες, πραγματοποιήθηκε η μέτρηση της ΣΠΥΕΙΣ στο 10%, 30%, 50% και 70% της ΜΕΙΔ. Η διάρκεια της ισομετρίας ήταν 10 δευτερόλεπτα. Αναλύθηκαν τα 6 ενδιάμεσα δευτερόλεπτα της μέτρησης. Εφαρμόσθηκε two-way Anova. Τα αποτελέσματα έδειξαν ότι υπήρξε στατιστικά σημαντική διαφορά στη ΜΕΙΔ και στη ΣΠΥΕΙΣ στην ΠΚ και ΡΚ ανάμεσα στις δύο ομάδες. Η ομάδα των προχωρημένων παρουσίασε μεγαλύτερη ΜΕΙΔ στην ΠΚ και ΡΚ, καθώς και χαμηλότερο ΣΜ σε σύγκριση με την ομάδα των αρχάριων (P<0,05). Συμπερασματικά, τα χρόνια εμπειρίας με την προπόνηση αντιστάσεων φαίνεται να έχουν θετική επίδραση στη σταθερότητα των καμπτήρων μυών της ποδοκνημικής.
description: The purpose of this study was to determine whether there is a difference in force steadiness during submaximal isometric contractions of plantar and dorsi flexors muscles of the dominant leg in experienced and inexperienced trainees in resistance training. Forty young and healthy males aged 18-32 were separated in two groups based on their experience (experienced-inexperienced) on resistance training and were right leg dominant. The evaluation of the maximal voluntary isometric force was carried out with an isokinetic dynamometer Humac-Norm. At first, the measurement of the maximal voluntary isometric contraction force was conducted with the execution of 3 attempts. After 48 hours, the measurement of 10, 30, 50 and 70% of maximal voluntary isometric contraction force was conducted. The duration of the isometric contraction was 10 seconds. The intermediate 6 seconds of the whole measurement were analysed. Two-way Anova was applied for the statistical analysis. The results showed that the individuals with more experience on resistance training presented significant highter MVC and force steadiness of plantar and dorsiflexors muscles compared with individuals with less experience (P<0,05). In conclusion, the years of practice with resistance training seems to have a beneficial effect on force steadiness.

description: The present manuscript summarizes novel studies on the application of large area avalanche photodiodes (LAAPDs) to the detection of X-rays and vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) light. The operational characteristics of four different LAAPDs manufactured by Advanced Photonix Inc., with active areas of 80 and 200 mm^2 were investigated for X-ray detection at room temperature. The best energy resolution was found to be in the 10-18% range for 5.9 keV X-rays. The LAAPD, being compact, simple to operate and with high counting rate capability (up to about 10^5/s), proved to be useful in several applications, such as low-energy X-ray detection, where they can reach better performance than proportional counters. Since X-rays are used as reference in light measurements, the gain non-linearity between 5.9 keV X-rays and light pulses was investigated. The gain ratio between X-rays and VUV light decreases with gain, reaching 10 and 6% variations for VUV light produced in argon (~128 nm) and xenon (~172 nm), respectively, for a gain 200, while for visible light (~635 nm) the variation is lower than 1%. The effect of temperature on the LAAPD performance was investigated. Relative gain variations of about -5% per Celsius degree were observed for the highest gains. The excess noise factor was found to be independent on temperature, being between 1.8 and 2.3 for gains from 50 to 300. The energy resolution is better for decreasing temperatures due mainly to the dark current. LAAPDs were tested under intense magnetic fields up to 5 T, being insensitive when used in X-ray and visible-light detection, while for VUV light a significant amplitude reduction was observed at 5 T.

description: Every construction project requires the preparation of a contract document in order to determine the specifications and responsibilities of each of the contracting parties. In this thesis, particular reference is made to the concept of risk allocation and more specifically, to the process that should be followed for risks related to ground conditions. Although the usual practice is that the owner should pay any additional costs associated with ground conditions being more adverse than anticipated, there is also a different approach in which the additional cost is attributed to the contractor or to the owner. This process requires the use of a Geotechnical Baseline Report which is a contract document and presents all the anticipated geotechnical conditions that will be encountered in the construction project. Finally, there is a presentation of the case study of a tunnel construction in California.

description: We present data from mid-infrared Keck Telescope imaging of 18 radio-selected ultra-compact HII region candidates at diffraction-limited resolution. The goal of these observations is to determine the sizes, luminosities, and morphologies of the mid-infrared emitting dust surrounding the stellar sources. All 18 sources were imaged at 11.7um and at 17.65um, and 10 of them were imaged also at 24.5um. All the sources were resolved. We have generated dust temperature and optical depth maps and combine them with radial velocity measurements and radio data (1.4 and 5 GHz) to constrain the properties of these star-forming regions. Half of our objects are excited by B-stars, and all our objects have derived types that are later than an O6 star. We find a significant correlation between infrared and radio flux densities, and a weaker one between infrared diameters and the central source ionizing photon rates. This latter correlation suggests that the more compact sources result from later spectral types rather than young age. Our new data may suggest a revision to infrared color selection criteria of ultra-compact HII regions at resolutions <1". These 18 sources are part of a sample of 687 sources dominated by ultra-compact HII regions selected by matching radio and infrared maps of the first Galactic quadrant by Giveon and coworkers. The new mid-infrared images constitute a significant improvement in resolving sub-structure at these wavelengths. If applied to all of this sample our analysis will improve our understanding of embedded star-formation in the Galaxy.

description: We report on a Chandra grating observation of the recently discovered hard X-ray transient IGR J17497-2821. The observation took place about two weeks after the source discovery at a flux level of about 20 mCrab in the 0.8-8 keV range. We extracted the most precise X-ray position of IGR J17497-2821, RA=17 49 38.037, DEC= -28 21 17.37 (90% uncertainty of 0.6"). We also report on optical and near infra-red photometric follow-up observations based on this position. With the multi-wavelength information at hand, we discuss the possible nature of the source proposing that IGR J17497-2821 is a low-mass X-ray binary, most likely hosting a black hole, with a red giant K-type companion.

description: We study the decorrelation in azimuthal angle of Mueller-Navelet jets at hadron colliders within the BFKL formalism. We introduce NLO terms in the evolution kernel and present a collinearly-improved version of it for all conformal spins. We show how this further resummation has good convergence properties and is closer to the Tevatron data than a simple LO treatment. However, we are still far from a good fit. We offer estimates of these decorrelations for larger rapidity differences which should favor the onset of BFKL effects and encourage experimental studies of this observable at the LHC.

description: The growing trove of precision astrometric observations from the Gaia space telescope and other surveys is revealing the structure and dynamics of the Milky Way in ever more exquisite detail. We summarize the current status of our understanding of the structure and the characteristics of the Milky Way, and we review the emerging picture: the Milky Way is evolving through interactions with the massive satellite galaxies that stud its volume, with evidence pointing to a cataclysmic past. It is also woven with stellar streams, and observations of streams, satellites, and field stars offer new constraints on its dark matter, both on its spatial distribution and its fundamental nature. The recent years have brought much focus to the study of dwarf galaxies found within our Galaxy's halo and their internal matter distributions. In this review, we focus on the predictions of the cold dark matter paradigm at small mass scales through precision astrometric measurements, and we summarize the modern consensus on the extent to which small-scale probes are consistent with this paradigm. We note the discovery prospects of these studies, and also how they intertwine with probes of the dynamics and evolution of the Milky Way in various and distinct ways.

description: The helicity of a magnetic field is a fundamental property that is conserved in ideal MHD. It can be explored in the stellar context by mapping large-scale magnetic fields across stellar surfaces using Zeeman-Doppler imaging. A recent study of 51 stars in the mass range 0.1-1.34 M$_\odot$ showed that the photospheric magnetic helicity density follows a single power law when plotted against the toroidal field energy, but splits into two branches when plotted against the poloidal field energy. These two branches divide stars above and below $\sim$ 0.5 M$_\odot$. We present here a novel method of visualising the helicity density in terms of the linkage of the toroidal and poloidal fields that are mapped across the stellar surface. This approach allows us to classify the field linkages that provide the helicity density for stars of different masses and rotation rates. We find that stars on the lower-mass branch tend to have toroidal fields that are non-axisymmetric and so link through regions of positive and negative poloidal field. A lower-mass star may have the same helicity density as a higher-mass star, despite having a stronger poloidal field. Lower-mass stars are therefore less efficient at generating large-scale helicity.
