Nutrient requirements for aerobic biostabilization of landfill leachate
Creators: name: Temoin, Edmond Paul
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: When solid wastes are disposed of in a sanitary landfill, contaminated seepage, known as leachate can become a problem. High strength leachate can be successfully treated using an aerated biostablization lagoon, as long as the sludge age is maintained at greater than 20 days. The object of this study was to determine the nitrogen and phosphorus requirements of aerobic micro-organisms treating high strength leachate, by itself and in combination with domestic sewage. Special emphasis was placed on determining the efficiency of metal removal, as a function of nutrient loading. In the first experiment, the nutrient loading was varied in a series of biological reactors with a 20 day detention time. The input feed was high strength leachate. The BOD₅/N/P ratio was varied from 100/3.19/0.12 to 100/5/1.1. The most effective treatment was achieved with a nutrient loading of 100/3.19/1.11. When the nutrient loading was increased or decreased from 100/3.19/1.11, there was an increase in BOD₅, suspended solids and metal concentrations in the treated effluent. At nutrient loadings below 100/3.19/1.11, the mixed liquor sludge bulked, with the volume of sludge generated doubling from 0.022 to 0.050 ml of settled sludge per mg of BOD₅ destroyed. In the second experiment, the high strength leachate was combined with domestic sewage in proportions varying from 0 to 20% (vol. leachate)/ (vol. leachate & sewage). No nutrients were added to the reactors but the BOD₅/N/P/ ratio varied from 100/24/4.3 to 100/3.62/0.12. The biostabilization system effectively treated all the variations of wastewaters. There was no corresponding increase in BOD₅ or metal concentration in the treated effluent when a higher proportion of leachate was added to the reactors. The sludge did not bulk even though the BOD₅/N/P ratio dropped to 100/3.62/0.12. When treating leachate in an aerated biostabilization lagoon with a 20 day sludge age, the required nutrient loading can be significantly reduced below the recommended BOD₅/N/P ratio of 100/5/1. At low volumetric BOD loadings of approximately 0.16 kg BOD₅ applied per cubic meter, a low nutrient loading of 100/3.62/0.12 does not adversely effect treatment efficiency. However, at a relatively high volumetric loading of 1.0 kg BOD₅/cubic meter, the minimum nutrient loading needed was 100/3.19/0.5. The increase in volumetric loading required a corresponding increase in phosphorus input. When the nutrient loading was sufficiently reduced, the mixed liquor sludge bulked and settled poorly. This resulted in a high level of suspended solids in the final effluent. Since the metals were bound to the suspended solids, the metal concentration in the final effluent also increased.

description: We present a lattice calculation of $L_{10}$, one of the low energy constants in Chiral Perturbation Theory, and the charged-neutral pion squared mass splitting, using dynamical overlap fermion. Exact chiral symmetry of the overlap fermion allows us to reliably extract these quantities from the difference of the vacuum polarization functions for vector and axial-vector currents. In the context of the technicolor models, these two quantities are read as the $S$-parameter and the pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson mass respectively, and play an important role in discriminating the models from others. This calculation can serve as a feasibility study of the lattice techniques for more general technicolor gauge theories.

description: We investigate the azimuthal asymmetry v2 of produced pions in pp and pA collisions at both RHIC and SPS energies. In our approach, based on the pQCD parton model and the light-cone QCD-dipole formalism, the azimuthal asymmetry results from a correlation between the color-dipole orientation and the impact parameter of the collision. We introduce the color-dipole orientation within an improved Born approximation and the saturation model which satisfies available DIS data, showing that the azimuthal asymmetry of partons and pions is very sensitive to the choice of the model, and that it is reduced in the saturation model. We find that v2 of quarks and gluons in parton-nucleus collisions have very different patterns. The azimuthal asymmetry of gluons in gluon-nucleus collisions can be negative at small transverse momentum, changes the sign and becomes positive at high transverse momentum. The azimuthal asymmetry of quarks in quark-nucleus collisions is positive at all values of transverse momentum. We find that the azimuthal anisotropy v2 of produced pions in both pp and pA collisions is positive, albeit rather small.

description: In this paper, a two-dimensional analytical model of a laterally graded-channel triple-metal double-gate Junctionless Field Effect Transistor with hetero dielectric gate oxide stack consisting of SiO$_2$ and HfO$_2$ is derived. The model illustrates higher drive current and better performance against hazardous SCEs and HCEs in below 30 nm regime. Parabolic approximation method is used here to construct channel potentials and electric fields by solving 2-D Poisson's equation with applicable boundary conditions. The basic central and surface potentials as well as central and surface electric fields are being illustrated, Threshold voltage, DIBL, sub-threshold swing (SS) and a compact current model have also been deduced. These parameters clearly show the benefits of proposed graded-channel triple-metal double-gate structure with hetero-dielectric gate oxide stack. The device has reliability in low power applications because of its better Ion and Ioff control. Finally, the analytical model is validated with self-consistent numerical calculations to illustrate better performance of among available junctionless devices.

description: This study explores the role of information entropy in understanding nuclear density distributions, including both stable configurations and non-traditional structures such as neutron halos and $α$-clustering. By quantifying the uncertainty and disorder inherent in nucleon distributions in nuclear many-body systems, information entropy provides a macroscopic measure of the physical properties of the system. A more dispersed and disordered density distribution results in a higher value of information entropy. This intrinsic relationship between information entropy and system complexity allows us to quantify uncertainty and disorder in nuclear structures by analyzing various geometric parameters such as nuclear radius, diffuseness, neutron skin, and cluster structural features.

description: Nel quadro del progetto “AdriAtlas, atlante informatizzato dell'Adriatico antico”, questo studio si propone di esaminare un caso particolare: la presenza armena nell'area adriatica. L'obbiettivo è quello di verificare alcuni criteri metodologici che permettano di allargare la comprensione dell'Adriatico antico e tardo-antico mediante l'inclusione di comunità spesso trascurate o comunque difficili da identificare nelle fonti a disposizione. Nel contributo, vengono presi in esame i potenziali antroponimi armeni legati all'area adriatica che è stato possibile rintracciare nelle fonti e nella letteratura secondaria, per un arco di tempo che va dal II sec. a.C. al VII sec. d.C. Per ciascun caso si cerca di stabilire quanto sia effettivamente possibile identificare un dato personaggio come di origine armena, mediante criteri che siano poi applicabili anche ad altri contesti. Grazie a questo tipo di analisi è possibile aggiornare la lista dei personaggi di origine armena attestati nell’Adriatico durante il periodo imperiale e tardo-antico, espungendo alcune voci e aggiungendone altre. In virtù delle peculiarità politico-sociali dell’Armenia nel periodo interessato, la lista di personaggi è necessariamente breve, ma non per questo poco significativa: la presenza, in area adriatica, di individui provenienti dall’Armenia anche prima del IV-V sec. d.C. (quando parte di quel territorio fu incorporata stabilmente all’interno dell’Impero Romano) è per certi versi sorprendente, e contribuisce ad aggiungere un tassello nella nostra comprensione dell’Adriatico romano e tardo-antico.

description: Young intellectuals close to Indonesia’s biggest Islamic organisation, the Nahdlatul Ulama, are advocating an “Islam of the natives” (Islam Pribumi) which has developed in Indonesia over the past centuries and differs from Islam as it is practiced in the Arab world in many ways. This selfconfident discourse emphasises Indonesian cultural and religious practice and distances itself from “Arab” traditions perceived as foreign. The article explores this discourse in the light of the role Indonesians of Arab descent play as leading figures in radical Islamic organisations, which, according to the young intellectuals of the Nahdlatul Ulama, carry out an “Arabisation” of Indonesia. The article investigates this thesis of an Arabisation by analysing the position of the Arab community in the wider Indonesian society.

description: AstraLux is the Lucky Imaging camera for the Calar Alto 2.2-m telescope and the 3.5-m NTT at La Silla. It allows nearly diffraction limited imaging in the SDSS i' and z' bands of objects as faint as i'=15.5mag with minimum technical effort. One of the ongoing AstraLux observing programs is a binarity survey among late-type stars with spectral types K7 to M8, covering more than 1000 targets on the northern and southern hemisphere. The survey is designed to refine binarity statistics and especially the dependency of binarity fraction on spectral type. The choice of the SDSS i' and z' filters allows to obtain spectral type and mass estimates for resolved binaries. With an observing efficiency of typically 6 targets per hour we expect to complete the survey in mid-2009. Selected targets will be followed up astrometrically and photometrically, contributing to the calibration of the mass-luminosity relation at the red end of the main sequence and at visible wavelengths.

description: The Rohingyas living in the state of Rakhine (Arakan) in western Myanmar form a greaten bloc community Muslim community on the border to Bangladesh. In the past decades, great numbers of people fled the country and were repatriated later. The status of the Rohingyas is a controversial issue. The organisations representing their interest consider them as indigenous people of Myanmar looking back at a history of 1000 years in Arakan. Buddhist Arakanese as well as the central government of Myanmar, however, regard and treat them as foreigners. The paper examines the historical genesis of the construction of a national Rohingya identity vis-à-vis the Buddhist population of Rakhine and the whole of Burma/Myanmar as well as its contradiction. In addition, an overview on the Muslim influences on history and culture of the kingdom of Arakan will be given.

description: Geometric dispersion in integrated microresonators plays a major role in nonlinear optics applications, especially at short wavelengths, to compensate the natural material normal dispersion. Tailoring of geometric confinement allows for anomalous dispersion, which in particular enables the formation of microcombs which can be tuned into the dissipative Kerr soliton (DKS) regime. Due to processes like soliton-induced dispersive wave generation, broadband DKS combs are particularly sensitive to higher-order dispersion, which in turn is sensitive to the ring dimensions at the nanometer-level. For microrings exhibiting a rectangular cross section, the ring width and thickness are the two main control parameters to achieve the targeted dispersion. The former can be easily varied through parameter variation within the lithography mask, yet the latter is defined by the film thickness during growth of the starting material stack, and can show a significant variation (few percent of the total thickness) over a single wafer. In this letter, we demonstrate that controlled dry-etching allows for fine tuning of the device layer (silicon nitride) thickness at the wafer level, allowing multi-project wafers targeting different wavelength bands, and post-fabrication trimming in air-clad ring devices. We demonstrate that such dry etching does not significantly affect either the silicon nitride surface roughness or the optical quality of the devices, thereby enabling fine tuning of the dispersion and the spectral shape of the resulting DKS states.

description: Gegenwärtige Diaspora-Konzeptionen führen die Bewahrung der Identität in der Fremde vor allem auf folgende interne Faktoren zurück: eine institutionalisierte globale Vernetzung, die Konstruktion einer Heimat und eine Rückkehrorientierung. Diaspora-Gemeinschaften werden dabei als in sich geschlossene, homogene Kollektive kontextualisiert. Externe Faktoren wie der Einfluss des Gastlandes, der eine Stratifizierung nach sozialen Klassen, Gender oder Generationen zur Folge hat, sind dagegen bisher wenig beachtet worden. Die in der Diaspora lebende ethnische Gruppe der Hmong versucht gleichermaßen ihre Identität zu bewahren. Die US-amerikanische Gemeinschaft entwickelte zudem diverse Heimatkonzeptionen, die eine Differenzierung nach Generationen zulassen. In diesem Beitrag werden Antworten auf folgende Fragen zur Diskussion gestellt: Welche Unterschiede lassen sich in der Konstruktion der Heimat zwischen der Einwandergeneration und in den USA sozialisierten Generationen feststellen? Gibt es analog zu Eisenstadts Trägergruppen für die Konstruktion der nationalen Identität ebenso erkennbare Kollektive in der US-amerikanischen Hmong Gemeinschaft, die eine diasporische Identität inaugurieren und prägen?

description: In this review I briefly describe the latest advances in studies of aperiodic variability of accreting X-ray binaries and outline the model which currently describe the majority of observational appearances of variability of accreting sources in the best way. Then I concentrate on the case of luminous accreting neutron star binaries (in the soft/high spectral state), where study of variability of X-ray emission of sources allowed us to resolve long standing problem of disentangling the contribution of accretion disk and boundary/spreading layer components to the time average spectrum of sources. The obtained knowledge of the shape of the spectrum of the boundary layer allowed us to make estimates of the mass and radii of accreting neutron stars.

description: Using a sub-pixel event repositioning technique, we spatially resolved X-ray emission from the infrared double system IRS 5 in the R Corona Australis molecular cloud with ~0.8" separation. As far as we know, this result - obtained from 8 Chandra archival observations between 2000 and 2005 - is the first X-ray study of individual sources in a Class I protostar binary system with a projected separation of less than 200 AU. We extracted light curves and spectra of the individual sources using a two-dimensional image fitting method. IRS 5a at the south, the source which was brighter in the near-infrared, showed three X-ray flares lasting >20 ksec, reminiscent of X-ray flares from pre-main sequence stars, while the northern source (IRS 5b) was quiescent in X-rays in all the observations except for a 2005 August 9 observation with a factor of ~2 flux enhancement. In quiescence, these sources showed almost identical X-ray spectra, with NH ~4e22 cm-2, kT ~2 keV, and log Lx ~30.2-3 ergs s-1. IRS 5a showed plasma at temperatures up to kT ~5-6 keV during flares, while the column density of IRS 5b increased by a factor of 2 during an observation on 2005 August 9. We discuss the evolutionary stages and variation of the X-ray activity of these sources.

description: Mixed Reality (MR) platforms enable users to interact with three-dimensional holographic instructions during the assembly and fabrication of highly custom and parametric architectural constructions without the necessity of two-dimensional drawings. Previous MR fabrication projects have primarily relied on digital menus and custom buttons as the interface for user interaction with the MR environment. Despite this approach being widely adopted, it is limited in its ability to allow for direct human interaction with physical objects to modify fabrication instructions within the MR environment. This research integrates user interactions with physical objects through real-time gesture recognition as input to modify, update or generate new digital information enabling reciprocal stimuli between the physical and the virtual environment. Consequently, the digital environment is generative of the user's provided interaction with physical objects to allow seamless feedback in the fabrication process. This research investigates gesture recognition for feedback-based MR workflows for robotic fabrication, human assembly, and quality control in the construction of the UnLog Tower.

description: A solution to a 3-satisfiability (3-SAT) formula can be expanded into a cluster, all other solutions of which are reachable from this one through a sequence of single-spin flips. Some variables in the solution cluster are frozen to the same spin values by one of two different mechanisms: frozen-core formation and long-range frustrations. While frozen cores are identified by a local whitening algorithm, long-range frustrations are very difficult to trace, and they make an entropic belief-propagation (BP) algorithm fail to converge. For BP to reach a fixed point the spin values of a tiny fraction of variables (chosen according to the whitening algorithm) are externally fixed during the iteration. From the calculated entropy values, we infer that, for a large random 3-SAT formula with constraint density close to the satisfiability threshold, the solutions obtained by the survey-propagation or the walksat algorithm belong neither to the most dominating clusters of the formula nor to the most abundant clusters. This work indicates that a single solution cluster of a random 3-SAT formula may have further community structures.

description: Spontaneous emergence of correlated states such as flocks and vortices are prime examples of remarkable collective dynamics and self-organization observed in active matter. The formation of globally correlated polar states in geometrically confined systems proceeds through the emergence of a macroscopic steadily rotating vortex that spontaneously selects a clockwise or counterclockwise global chiral state. Here, we reveal that a global vortex formed by colloidal rollers exhibits state memory. The information remains stored even when the energy injection is ceased and the activity is terminated. We show that a subsequent formation of the collective states upon re-energizing the system is not random. We combine experiments and simulations to elucidate how a combination of hydrodynamic and electrostatic interactions leads to hidden asymmetries in the local particle positional order encoding the chiral state of the system. The stored information can be accessed and exploited to systematically command subsequent polar states of active liquid through temporal control of the activity. With the chirality of the emergent collective states controlled on-demand, active liquids offer new possibilities for flow manipulation, transport, and mixing at the microscale.

Year: 2008

description: Small towns present a critical link between urban systems and rural landscapes and are thus relevant for the understanding of regional development processes. In this context, an integrative analysis of the dynamics of interaction and negotiation on the local level and their correlation with higher-level structures and processes is insightful. The analysis draws on the concept of the social interface which is here applied to encounters between actors of various fi elds and levels within the arena of the small town. This approach is exemplifi ed by an outline of processes of negotiation and mediation along political and economic interfaces in small Vietnamese towns. While the approach remains to be verifi ed and elaborated in practice, it promises to provide a more complex and holistic view of current development trends.

description: The urban agglomeration of the Vietnamese southeast industrial driving force Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) has become the most outstanding benefi ciary of the remarkable economic growth and foreign investments in the Vietnamese economy since the start of a comprehensive economic reform process in the mid 1980s. The notable development towards the foremost economic centre led to a high infl ux of migrant workers. In the course of an ongoing expansion process towards a megacity of tomorrow, the defi cient provision of adequate housing remains one of the most challenging problems of rural migrants in Greater HCMC. However, a future-oriented sustainable megacity concept is strongly dependent on the successful integration of migrants into the urban society. Within this context, the housing market is considered to be a key aspect of comprehensive urban planning. Hereby, housing microfi nance (HMF) will be presented as an alternative housing finance scheme meeting the demand of a noteworthy number of poor and low-income people. Thereby HMF can do both: focus on specifi c needs of migrants with respect to their current life situation and enhance its outreach to a potential target group.

description: Singapore is the wealthiest nation in South-East Asia today. But behind its high-rise buildings and modern shopping malls rising social disparities and a growing number of poor households cast a shadow on an otherwise successful economic development. Shrinking incomes and rising prices for housing and energy have increased the number of those who are struggling life in one of the most expensive cities in Pacifi c Asia. The situation is further complicated by a just rudimentary social security system that is not adequately designed for the needs of poor households. The following paper gives a brief insight into the current state of economic and social development in Singapore and its impact on the social fabric of the Singapore society. The lack of an adequately structured social security system for those households and the lower end of the income strata in general contribute most to the rising social disparities is what characterises Singapore’s social development today.

Finite element analysis of rotating disks
Creators: name: Nigh, Gregory Lynn
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The finite element method is applied to the analysis of rotating disks. The equation governing the transverse deflection of a rotating disk is presented in both body-fixed and space-fixed coordinate systems. The quadratic stress triangle is used to determine the in-plane stress distribution which contributes to the out-of-plane stiffness. The out-of-plane problem is analyzed using elements based on the high precision 18 degree of freedom compatible plate bending triangle. Free vibration problems of both axisymmetric and non-axisymmetric disks are solved in the body-fixed coordinate system. The numerical results obtained for axisymmetric disks show good agreement with results from other analyses. In a space-fixed coordinate system, the response of a rotating axisymmetric disk to a space-fixed transverse load is examined in some detail. It is found that there exists a fundamental critical rotation speed at which a component of a natural vibration mode becomes stationary in space, leading to an instability. This critical speed may be related to a non-dimensional stiffness parameter which, together with the non-dimensional hub radius, completely defines the disk geometry and stiffness. Thus, it appears that the critical value of the stiffness parameter is a function only of the non-dimensional hub radius. The response of the disk past this critical stiffness is also examined. The results provide evidence of the existence of the higher critical speeds and indicate that the response is very sensitive to any approximations made with respect to the geometry of the disk or the in-plane stress distributions.

description: We suggest a new theoretical method to describe the baryon clusterization of nuclei in hadron-nucleus reactions. As an example we have explored the nuclei production in $π^-+C$ and $π^-+W$ collisions at p$_{lab}$=1.7 GeV by using the hybrid approach consisting of the Ultra Relativistic Quantum Dynamics Model (UrQMD) and the Statistical Multifragmentation Model (SMM). The UrQMD describes the production of new baryons, and the propagation toward the subnuclear densities with the fluctuations leading to the formation of excited baryonic clusters. The SMM describes the production of final nuclei and hypernuclei after interaction of baryons inside these clusters. We demonstrate the transverse momenta, rapidity, mass distributions and excitation energies of both primary clusters and final nuclei (including hypernuclei). The results of the UrQMD and UrQMD+SMM model calculations for different clusterization parameters are compared with the available HADES experimental data on baryon production, providing a very promising window for future research on nuclei and hypernuclei formation in these reactions.

description: We study ionization and transport processes in partially ionized multicomponent plasmas. The plasma composition is calculated via a system of coupled mass action laws. The electronic transport properties are determined by the electron-ion and electron-neutral transport cross sections. The influence of electron-electron scattering is considered via a correction factor to the electron-ion contribution. Based on this data, the electrical and thermal conductivity as well as the Lorenz number are calculated. For the thermal conductivity, we consider also the contributions of the translational motion of neutral particles and of the dissociation, ionization, and recombination reactions. We apply our approach to a partially ionized plasma composed of hydrogen, helium, and a small fraction of metals (Li, Na, Ca, Fe, K, Rb, Cs) as typical for hot Jupiter atmospheres. We present results for the plasma composition and the transport properties as function of density and temperature and then along typical P-T profiles for the outer part of the hot Jupiter HD 209458b. The electrical conductivity profile allows revising the Ohmic heating power related to the fierce winds in the planet's atmosphere. We show that the higher temperatures suggested by recent interior models could boost the conductivity and thus the Ohmic heating power to values large enough to explain the observed inflation of HD 209458b.

Agents of Change - Frauenaktivistinnen in Aceh
Creators: name: Grossmann, Kristina
Publisher: name: Austrian Journal of South-East Asian Studies

description: Aceh, Indonesia’s westernmost province is in a process of political, social and cultural transformation, which is caused by three main factors. First, the process of decentralisation, launched by the government of Indonesia starting from the end of the 1990s and as a consequence of the implementation of sharia bylaws since 2001, second, the tsunami calamity 2004 and third, the peace process starting with the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) 2005 between representatives of the Government of Indonesia and the Acehnese freedom movement GAM (Gerakan Aceh Merdeka). Today’s situation of women in Aceh is infl uenced by repressions due to a conservative interpretation of Islam, by the impact of international aid organisations, which entered Aceh after the tsunami and by the political, social and cultural reconstruction of Aceh since the beginning of the peace process. The transformation process causes huge challenges for women and at the same time provides a wide range of opportunities for participation and modelling the new province Aceh. In this vibrant atmosphere, where tensions between Islamic religiosity, traditional-cultural structures and Western values are immense, women activists design positions and strategies to aim their desire of gender justice, equity and women’s rights. The present impact of the multiple efforts of women activists to take infl uence in the political and socio-cultural area can be described as opening a window of opportunities. They could benefi t from emancipative objectives of international organisations and from the national and international monetary funds. Women activists could develop capacity and raise their bargaining power through the networks with international organisations. Hurdles in the long-term success of implementing the aims of woman activists are the short time-frames of the aid-programmes and the top-down approach of most programmes. The power of the political elite in Aceh and of religious leaders is strong and the agendas of woman activists are constrained by socio-political and religious acceptance.

description: The R CrA region was observed in the 3.5 and 6.2 cm continuum with high angular resolutions (0.6--1.7 arcseconds) using the Very Large Array. Archival data sets were also analyzed for comparison, which provided angular resolutions up to 0.3 arcseconds. A cluster of young stellar objects was detected, and a rich array of star forming activities was revealed. IRS 7A showed an enhanced outflow activity recently. The main peak of IRS 7A positionally coincides with an X-ray source, which suggests that the X-ray emission is directly related to the central protostar. The Class 0 source SMA 2 is associated with a double radio source, B 9a and 9b, and seems to be driving two outflows. The B 9 complex is probably a multiple-protostar system. Both B 9a and 9b are nonthermal radio sources with negative spectral indices. IRS 7B is a compact radio source surrounded by an extended structure. The compact source corresponds to the Class 0/I source SMA 1, and it is also closely associated with an X-ray source, suggesting that magnetic activities start early in the protostellar stage of evolution. The extended structure of IRS 7B may be a bipolar outflow. IRS 5 was resolved into two sources with a separation of 0.9 arcseconds. Both IRS 5a and 5b display radio flares and X-ray emission, suggesting that energetic magnetic processes are active in both members. The month-scale active phase of IRS 5b implies that the flare activity must involve large-scale magnetic fields. During the strong flare event of IRS 5b in 1998, IRS 5a also showed an enhanced level of radio emission. This concurrent activity suggests that IRS 5 may be an interacting young binary system, but the interaction mechanism is unknown. Alternatively, what was seen in the radio images could be a circumbinary halo.

description: Short Read Alignment Mapping Metrics (SRAMM): is an efficient and versatile command line tool providing additional short read mapping metrics, filtering, and graphs. Short read aligners report MAPing Quality (MAPQ), but these methods generally are neither standardized nor well described in literature or software manuals. Additionally, third party mapping quality programs are typically computationally intensive or designed for specific applications. SRAMM efficiently generates multiple different concept-based mapping scores to provide for an informative post alignment examination and filtering process of aligned short reads for various downstream applications. SRAMM is compatible with Python 2.6+ and Python 3.6+ on all operating systems. It works with any short read aligner that generates SAM/BAM/CRAM file outputs and reports 'AS' tags. It is freely available under the MIT license at http://github.com/achon/sramm.

description: From the separability point of view the problem of two atoms interact with a single cavity mode is investigated. The density matrix is calculated and used to discuss the entanglement and to examine the dynamics of the local and non-local information. Our examination concentrated on the variation in the mean photon number and the ratio of the coupling parameters. Furthermore, we have also assumed that the atomic system is initially in the ground states as well as in the intermediate states. It has been shown that the local information is transferred to non-local information when the impurity of one qubit or both is maximum.

description: We explore how entanglement of a general bipartite system evolves when one subsystem undergoes the action of an arbitrary noisy channel. It is found that the dynamics of entanglement for general bipartite systems under the influence of such channel is determined by the channel's action on the maximally entangled state, which includes as a special case the results for two-qubit systems [Nature Physics 4, 99 (2008)]. In particular, for multi-qubit or qubit-qudit systems, we get a general factorization law for evolution equation of entanglement with one qubit being subject to a noisy channel. Our results can help the experimental characterization of entanglement dynamics.
