description: Study of high-redshift radio galaxies (HzRGs) can shed light on the active galactic nuclei (AGNs) evolution in massive elliptical galaxies. The vast majority of observed high-redshift AGNs are quasars, and there are very few radio galaxies at redshifts $z>3$. We present the radio properties of 173 sources optically identified with radio galaxies at $z\geqslant1$ with flux densities $S_{1.4}\geqslant20$ mJy. Literature data were collected for compilation of broadband radio spectra, estimation of radio variability, radio luminosity, and radio loudness. Almost 60% of the galaxies have steep or ultra-steep radio spectra; 22% have flat, inverted, upturn, and complex spectral shapes, and 18% have peaked spectra (PS). The majority of the PS sources in the sample (20/31) are megahertz-peaked spectrum sources candidates, i.e. possibly very young and compact radio galaxies. The median values of the variability indices at 11 and 5 GHz are $V_{S_{11}}=0.14$ and $V_{S_{5}}=0.13$, which generally indicates a weak or moderate character of the long-term variability of the studied galaxies. The typical radio luminosity and radio loudness are $L_{5}=10^{43}$ - $10^{44}$ erg*s$^{-1}$ and $\log R=3$ - $4$ respectively. We have found less prominent features of the bright compact radio cores for our sample compared to high-redshift quasars at $z\geq3$. The variety of the obtained radio properties shows the different conditions for the formation of radio emission sources in galaxies.

description: This document contains project instructions for EX-16-03. Operations for this cruise will include ROV, mapping, telepresence-based remote participation, and possible CTD rosette operations. The expedition will be commence in Pearl Harbor, HI with operations beginning on February 23 and conclude in Kwajalein in the Marshall Islands on March 18th. Operations will use the ship’s deep water mapping systems (Kongsberg EM302 multibeam sonar, EK60 split-beam fisheries sonars, ADCPs, and Knudsen 3260 chirp sub-bottom profiler sonar), NOAA's two-body 6000 m remotely operated vehicle (ROVs Deep Discoverer and Seirios), CTD rosette, and the ship's high-bandwidth satellite connection for realtime ship to shore communications. Daytime ROV dives are planned most days from February 24 – March 15. ROV dives will include high-resolution visual surveys and limited rock and biologic specimen sampling. Mapping operations will be conducted overnight and when the ROV is on deck. CTD casts are not currently planned but may be requested during the cruise to collect more environmental information at sites of interest. Exploration operations for this cruise will focus on deepwater areas around the North West Hawaiian Islands. This expedition will help establish a baseline of information in the region to catalyze further exploration, research and management activities.

description: The main objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of some well-known and widely used operational air quality modelling systems (EMEP-MSC-W, and the models at the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS)) for simulations of particulate matter in Bulgaria. The analysis is focussed on a summer month (August 2017) and includes comparison of model to observations from 24 regular air quality background stations, as well as model inter-comparison. Along with statistical indicators various graphs are used – box plots, kernel density estimations,and scatter plots. The spatial distribution is discussed upon maps of monthly mean concentrations and comparison of domain averaged model concentrations. The spatial distribution of PM10 is similar only over the Black sea. The highest domain mean surface concentrations are simulated by CAMS global – by about 12 % for PM10 and by about 14 % for PM2.5 higher than the other models.

Plasmon and dielectric background inhomogeneity enhancement of Coulomb drag in graphene double-layer structures

description: The drag of massless fermions in graphene double-layer structures is investigated in a wide rage of temperatures and inter-layer separations. We show that the inhomogeneity of the dielectric background in such graphene structures for experimentally relevant parameters results in a significant enhancement of the drag resistivity. At intermediate temperatures the dynamical screening via plasmon-mediated drag enhances the drag resistivity and results in an upturn in its behavior at large inter-layer separations. In a range of inter-layer separations, corresponding to the strong-to-weak crossover coupling of graphene layers, we find that the drag resistivity decreases approximately quadratically with the inter-layer spacing. This dependence weakens with a decrease of the inter-layer spacing while for larger separations we recover the cubic (quartic) dependence at intermediate (low) temperatures.

Sigma-delta quantization and Sturmian words
Creators: name: Ayaz, Ulaş
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: In this thesis, our main focus is Sigma-Delta quantization schemes. These are commonly used in state-of-art Analog-to-digital conversion technology. Their main advantage is the ease of implementation and more importantly their insensitivity to certain circuit imperfections. When we compare sigma-delta scheme with pulse-code modulation (PCM), sigma-delta is inferior in terms of rate distortion because an N-bit kth order sigma-delta quantizer produces an approximation with the error of order O(N-k) whereas the corresponding N-bit PCM scheme has accuracy of O(2−N)). However, this is a raw estimate of the actual rate-distortion characteristic of sigma-delta as one can further compress the bitstreams obtained via sigma-delta quantization. Even though this observation was made earlier in [10] under certain assumptions, to our knowledge, it was not investigated fully. In this thesis, such an investigation is made for first-order sigma-delta quantizers by using some results from symbolic dynamics literature on “Sturmian words”. Surprisingly, it turns out that the approximation error is a function of the “actual bit-rate”, i.e., the bit-rate after compressing an N-bit first-order sigma-delta encoding. In addition, in this thesis, we will introduce a new setup for sampling a bandlimited function and then quantizing these samples via first-order sigma-delta scheme. This simple but surprisingly efficient technique will allow us to get a better bound for the approximation rate of sigma-delta schemes and it will allow us to apply the derived results for compression of the bitstreams.

description: We completely clarify the feature of primordial non-Gaussianities of tensor perturbations in generalized G-inflation, i.e., the most general single-field inflation model with second order field equations. It is shown that the most general cubic action for the tensor perturbation (gravitational wave) $h_{ij}$ is composed only of two contributions, one with two spacial derivatives and the other with one time derivative on each $h_{ij}$. The former is essentially identical to the cubic term that appears in Einstein gravity and predicts a squeezed shape, while the latter newly appears in the presence of the kinetic coupling to the Einstein tensor and predicts an equilateral shape. Thus, only two shapes appear in the graviton bispectrum of the most general single-field inflation model, which could open a new clue to the identification of inflationary gravitational waves in observations of cosmic microwave background anisotropies as well as direct gravitational wave detection experiments.

description: On a consistent linearized theory of the wave-making-resistance of ships : 16th Georg-Weinblum-Memorial-Lecture There are few discussions on the uniqueness in the theory of the wave-making resistance of ships. Moreover, a line integral term singularity distribution around a periphery of the water plane area, appearing in the theory casts a shadow on the uniqueness of the boundary value problem. There is the only one well-known consistent theory, that is, two-dimentional theory of planing on the water surface in which a line integral term does not appear explicitly. In this theory, the sinkage and trim vary with speed and also the wetted length changes to fulfill Kutta's condition. However, in a usual ship, displacement ship, having a nearly vertical stem, the wetted length could not vary as in the planing ship. In the present paper, introducing a new singularity just before the bow, we try to obtain a consistent linearized theory for a displacement ship. We solve numerically the boundary value problem,investigating the properties of solutions and then calculate the sinkage and trim when a barge is running freely or is being towed without any external force or moment except a towing force. Then, it is found that this free running becomes unstable over the speed Fr.=.61 regardless of the bottom shape. The resistance consists of three components, namely, the wave-making, the spray and the water head resistance. The former two components are well-known and the last one is a component introduced and named so here temporarily. This component resembles a wave-breaking resistance but we have no direct explanation.
The effect of temperature mixing on the observable (T,beta)-relation of interstellar dust clouds

description: Detailed studies of the shape of dust emission spectra are possible thanks to the current instruments capable of observations in several sub-millimetre bands (e.g., Herschel and Planck). However, some controversy remains even on the basic effects resulting from the mixing of temperatures along the line-of-sight. Studies have suggested either a positive or a negative correlation between the colour temperature T_C and the observed spectral index beta_Obs. Our aim is to show that both cases are possible and to determine the factors leading to either behaviour. We start by studying the sum of two or three modified black bodies of different temperature. With radiative transfer modelling, we examine the probability distributions of the dust mass as a function of the physical dust temperature. With these results as a guideline, we examine the (T_C, beta_Obs) relations for different sets of clouds. Even in the case of modified blackbodies at temperatures T_0 and T_0+ Delta T_0, the correlation between T_C and beta_Obs can be either positive or negative. If one compares models where Delta T_0 is varied, the correlation is negative. If the models differ in their mean temperature T_0 rather than in Delta T_0, the correlation remains positive. Radiative transfer models show that externally heated clouds have different mean temperatures but the widths of their temperature distributions are rather similar. Thus, the correlation between T_C and beta_Obs is expected to be positive. The same result applies to clouds illuminated by external radiation fields of different intensity. For internally heated clouds a negative correlation is the more likely alternative. If the signal-to-noise ratio is high, the observed negative correlation could be explained by the temperature dependence of the dust optical properties but that intrinsic dependence could be even steeper than the observed one.

Essays on intangible capital and economic development
Creators: name: Yang, Shenglang
Publisher: name: Canberra, ACT : The Australian National University
Year: 2018
Subjects: Intangible capital
economic growth
energy intensity

description: This thesis consists of six chapters that examine issues on intangible capital and economic development. Chapter 1 assesses the role of intangible capital in sectoral economic growth in China based on data from Input-Output Tables, and identifies the type of disaggregated intangible capital that has the largest effect on economic growth in each sector group. Chapter 2 studies the determinants of intangible investment in Chinese firms as well as the relationship between firm-level productivity and various types of intangible investment, and finds that firm size, human capital and institutional quality as well as market competition all play important roles in determining firms’ intangible investment. Chapter 3 investigates the role of organization capital in the production of Chinese listed firms, compares the contributions of organization capital to firms’ financial performance between listed state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and non-SOEs and finds that SOEs invest more in organization capital but have lower returns from the investment. Chapter 4 analyses the effect of intangible capital in reducing sectoral energy intensity as well as how this effect varies across sectors and economies of different development stages, which provides some useful policy implications. Chapter 5 compares the changing output elasticity as well as heterogeneity in the productivity spillover effect of intangible capital across various sectors and economy of different income level, and finds some interesting patterns. Chapter 6, which is the last chapter, revisits the lost decades of the Japanese economy based on an extended neoclassical growth model with intangible investment incorporated and finds that unmeasured intangible investment actually plays an important role in explaining the business cycles during the Japanese lost decades.

description: We consider the problem of electromigration of a sample ion (analyte) within a uniform background electrolyte when the confining channel undergoes a sudden contraction. One example of such a situation arises in microfluidics in the electrokinetic injection of the analyte into a micro-capillary from a reservoir of much larger size. Here the sample concentration propagates as a wave driven by the electric field. The dynamics is governed by the Nerst-Planck-Poisson system of equations for ionic transport.A reduced one dimensional nonlinear equation describing the evolution of the sample concentration is derived.We integrate this equation numerically to obtain the evolution of the wave shape and determine how the the injected mass depends on the sample concentration in the reservoir.It is shown that due to the nonlinear coupling of the ionic concentrations and the electric field, the concentration of the injected sample could be substantially less than the concentration of the sample in the reservoir.

Optimized t-expansion method for the Rabi Hamiltonian

description: A polemic arose recently about the applicability of the $t$-expansion method to the calculation of the ground state energy $E_0$ of the Rabi model. For specific choices of the trial function and very large number of involved connected moments, the $t$-expansion results are rather poor and exhibit considerable oscillations. In this letter, we formulate the $t$-expansion method for trial functions containing two free parameters which capture two exactly solvable limits of the Rabi Hamiltonian. At each order of the $t$-series, $E_0$ is assumed to be stationary with respect to the free parameters. A high accuracy of $E_0$ estimates is achieved for small numbers (5 or 6) of involved connected moments, the relative error being smaller than $10^{-4}$ (0.01%) within the whole parameter space of the Rabi Hamiltonian. A special symmetrization of the trial function enables us to calculate also the first excited energy $E_1$, with the relative error smaller than $10^{-2}$ (1%).

Historicity in biology
Creators: name: Cyr Desjardins, Eric
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Biology is often characterized as an historical science. Why and to what extent does history matter in biology? Overall, this analysis shows that biology is deeply historical. Using examples from various fields (evolution, ecology and development), I develop a theory of biological historicity starting from the idea that the most fundamental property of historical processes is their capacity to retain information from the past, which ultimately depends on the existence of divergent outcomes and a causal dependence between a process’ outcome and its past. Yet the conditions generating divergent outcomes and information preserving processes are numerous and can be illustrated in various ways. These are developed and clarified through the notions of historical contingency, path dependence, irreversibility, and generative entrenchment.

description: This thesis contributes to present inter-war historiography on Australians and the monarchy by providing a narrative for the previously under-researched evolution of the public life of Edward, Prince of Wales, in this country between approximately 1916 and 1936. The objectives are twofold: firstly, to provide an Australian account of what has been most commonly presented as a public life that resonated mainly within Britain, and in doing so illustrate the potency of the relationship that existed between Australia, as one of the Dominions, and the Crown. Secondly, through identifying the changing nature of Edward’s appeal as espoused by the public, the press and political rulers over time, I aim to establish fresh insights into the localised preoccupations of Australian society and contribute to a greater understanding of the centrality of the monarch in the inter-war imperial imagination. I conclude that Edward’s supposedly democratic characteristics both enhanced and conflicted with inter-war Australian ideals of nationhood, and were founded on a fixed suite of expectations for the private and public life of the monarch. His persona was remarkably disassociated from religious or class-based affiliations, meaning that his personal appeal flourished in public, press and political perceptions. Nonetheless, I establish that contemporary Australians perceived the monarch as central to the survival of the Empire. Although the legal and political elements of the Kingship were flexible according to the best interests of Australian independence, traditional attitudes prevailed in matters of sexual modernity. Ultimately, for Australians, as part of an Empire caught between the devastation of two world wars, the survival of the monarchy prevailed over the survival of the monarch.

Are the scholarly publishing tools weâ€™re using today still the right ones? Is the monograph still the best format in the humanities? Is the journal article still best in STM? These products can be difficult to produce and edit, nearly impenetrable to read, andâ€”as in the case of clinical research informationâ€”they arenâ€™t necessarily the best-suited formats for capturing every piece of necessary information (like protocols and datasets in medical research) and showing how this information is all connected to other scholarship. What other formats and options are being considered or used? What are the prospects of change? How about the stakeholder universe itself? How are roles, responsibilities and expectations changing (and where might they end up)? Are we â€œsettlingâ€ on half-measures or on the best possible solutions?

description: The aim of this study is to examine the relationship of fire to the forests of Waterton Lakes National Park. The study's central concern is with the spatial and temporal patterns of fire in the ecosystem and how they have been affected by changes in land use. Some researchers in the field state that the impact of the white man's arrival in Alberta's east-slope environment during the last half of the nineteenth century greatly increased the occurrence and extent of fire. This thesis considers whether the European had a similar impact on Waterton Lakes National Park. An important aspect of this problem is aboriginal man's impact on the landscape and evidence for the Indian as a cause of fire is also considered. An attempt is made to reconstruct the fire history for the park by examining the following evidence: 1. tree-ring analysis, 2. paleobotanical studies, 3. archaeological studies, and 4. historical sources. This evidence indicates that there was an apparent increase in the frequency and extent of fire for the last half of the nineteenth century, but, in fact, these are later fires which have masked the severity of earlier fires. Because of this apparent increase in the occurrence of fire, the Federal Government initiated a strict policy of fire prevention, and since 1911, the park has been successfully protected from fire. A major contention of the thesis is that fire is an integral part of the park's forest environment, and the ecological consequences that fire protection constitutes for this environment are discussed. The evidence examined includes the author's study of vegetation succession, as well as the work of others on insect, disease, and fire hazard classifications for the park. The consequences of complete fire protection are a reduction in species diversity and animal habitat, and an increase in the fire, insect, and disease hazard. The thesis concludes with a recommendation for re-introducing fire to the park's forest environment.
Hero-making as ontological security practice: Tajikistan's identity politics and relations with Uzbekistan

description: Remembering national heroes is one of the most important aspects of the politics of national identity. Due to their exemplary lives and deeds, the national heroes get portrayed as the role models for the nation. How do states choose the heroes? What are the ‘selection criteria’? What is the role of commemorating the heroes in defining the relations between the national ‘self’ and ‘other’? Using the case of the ‘Heroes of Tajikistan’ and this nation’s problematic relations with neighbouring Uzbekistan, this thesis attempts to find the answers to these questions. In doing so, it relies on the poststructuralist theories of IR. The study reveals that the discursive construction of the national ‘self’ and ‘other’ through commemorating the ‘Heroes of Tajikistan’ is a correlative of Uzbekistan’s threatening behaviour in relations with Tajikistan. In other words, remembering the heroes in particular, and the identity politics in general, are not the simple matters of domestic affairs, but rather can be the crucial factors in studying international relations. As this research revealed, the national identity discourses in Tajikistan honour the ‘Heroes’ for their leadership in achieving national independence from Uzbekistan in the 1920s (Makhsum and Shotemur), and defending the Tajik language and literary traditions from the discriminatory attitude of the Uzbek nationalists in the late 1920s (Aini),as well as writing the history of Tajiks throughout the Soviet period in a way that represents Tajiks as the indigenous people of Central Asia and Uzbeks as the occupants (Ghafurov). Uzbekistan’s interference in the Tajik civil war (1992-1997) and its hostile position towards the construction of the Roghun hydroelectric power station in Tajikistan (since 2004) triggered the negative memories about the traditional Uzbek ‘other.’ At the same due to the predominance of the narratives about the traditionally negative image of Uzbeks, the behaviour of Uzbekistan in the post-Soviet period appears as a self-fulfilling prophecy. In the light of ever-growing Tajik-Uzbek tension, literary, academic and journalistic discourses in Tajikistan portray the President of Tajikistan Emomali Rahmon, another officially recognised ‘Hero of Tajikistan’, as continuing the struggle of the past heroes against Uzbeks.

The document is part of Work Package 5 – “Monitoring and Documentation”, and it was developed in close collaboration with and for many project partners. The document language and length are meant to be understood by a wide range of people, with or without scientifi c knowledge in monitoring, as it is the intention that this document is an operational tool for anyone who aims to monitor ECS performance. The document is structured in four main sections: The first section sets out basic knowledge and questions that seem essential when considering to implement a monitoring protocol. What, how and when to consider a monitoring protocol is introduced, too. The following two sections, “Plan your monitoring” and “How to collect you own data” are meant to be used as look-up sections, with clear topics to consider, recommendations and examples of common methods used in monitoring protocols, in particular when considering participatory methods. The last section is an illustration of the implementation of such protocols in the Living Lab of the City of Oslo – one of the Front-Runner Cities in the project. This section should be read as an example of a possible application of the principles outlined in the document and is not necessarily representative of the real situation, as the selection of indicators and appropriate methods is still under development.

description: This paper explains the systematics of the generation of families of spectra for the PT-symmetric quantum-mechanical Hamiltonians $H=p^2+x^2(ix)^ε$, $H=p^2+(x^2)^δ$, and $H=p^2-(x^2)^μ$. In addition, it contrasts the results obtained with those found for a bosonic scalar field theory, in particular in one dimension, highlighting the similarities and differences to the quantum-mechanical case. It is shown that the number of families of spectra can be deduced from the number of noncontiguous pairs of Stokes' wedges that display PT-symmetry. To do so, simple arguments that use the WKB approximation are employed, and these imply that the eigenvalues are real. However, definitive results are in most cases presently only obtainable numerically, and not all eigenvalues in each family may be real. Within the approximations used, it is illustrated that the difference between the quantum-mechanical and the field-theoretical cases lies in the number of accessible regions in which the eigenfunctions decay exponentially. This paper reviews and implements well-known techniques in complex analysis and PT-symmetric quantum theory.

description: We propose an explanation of the superconducting transitions discovered in the heavy fermion superlattices by Mizukami et al. (Nature Physics 7, 849 (2011)) in terms of Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition. We observe that the effective mass mismatch between the heavy fermion superconductor and the normal metal regions provides an effective barrier that enables quasi 2D superconductivity in such systems. We show that the resistivity data, both with and without magnetic field, are consistent with BKT transition. Furthermore, we study the influence of a nearby magnetic quantum critical point on the vortex system, and find that the vortex core energy can be significantly reduced due to magnetic fluctuations. Further reduction of the gap with decreasing number of layers is understood as a result of pair breaking effect of Yb ions at the interface.

Emission Measure Distribution and Heating of Two Active Region Cores

description: Using data from the Extreme-ultraviolet Imaging Spectrometer aboard Hinode, we have studied the coronal plasma in the core of two active regions. Concentrating on the area between opposite polarity moss, we found emission measure distributions having an approximate power-law form EM$\propto T^{2.4}$ from $\log\,T = 5.5$ up to a peak at $\log\,T = 6.55$. We show that the observations compare very favorably with a simple model of nanoflare-heated loop strands. They also appear to be consistent with more sophisticated nanoflare models. However, in the absence of additional constraints, steady heating is also a viable explanation.

Rhetorical boundaries in the "new science" of alternative medicine
Creators: name: Derkatch, Colleen Joan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This dissertation investigates scientific studies of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) as episodes of scientific boundary work: these studies shift, and then seek to fix, the boundaries between what counts as proper medical science and what does not. Rhetoric scholars have mapped sites of boundary work both in science and in various CAM practices, but there is still some question of how biomedicine itself responds to challenges to its borders—and, by extension, challenges to its social and epistemic authority. This dissertation examines the rhetorical constituents of biomedical boundary work by analyzing a corpus of CAM-themed special issues of the journals of the American Medical Association from 1998, in which members of the medical profession consider the implications of including under biomedicine’s purview health practices formerly considered outside it. The project examines this corpus, and responses published in both medical and popular outlets, to illuminate some of the ways in which members of a culturally dominant profession evaluate medical therapies in the face of disciplinary unrest, both within and beyond the borders of their profession. The chapters move from contexts internal to medicine to those external, mapping, sequentially, the historical-professional, epistemological, clinical, and popular dimensions of biomedical boundary work. The project aims to provide a more nuanced, stratified account of the rhetorical negotiation of medical and scientific boundaries. Its main claim is that, despite the willingness of many medical researchers and practitioners to elide distinctions between mainstream and alternative medicine, this research on CAM, and its related activities (i.e., publication, clinical practice), ultimately strengthen those distinctions and expand science’s authority in medicine.

description: Bottke et al. (2007) linked the catastrophic formation of Baptistina Asteroid Family (BAF) to the K/T impact event. This linkage was based on dynamical and compositional evidence, which suggested the impactor had a composition similar to CM2 carbonaceous chondrites. However, our recent study (Reddy et al. 2009) suggests that the composition of (298) Baptistina is similar to LL-type ordinary chondrites rather than CM2 carbonaceous chondrites. This rules out any possibility of it being related to the source of the K/T impactor, if the impactor was of CM-type composition. Mineralogical study of asteroids in the vicinity of BAF has revealed a plethora of compositional types suggesting a complex formation and evolution environment. A detailed compositional analysis of 16 asteroids suggests several distinct surface assemblages including ordinary chondrites (Gaffey SIV subtype), primitive achondrites (Gaffey SIII subtype), basaltic achondrites (Gaffey SVII subtype and V-type), and a carbonaceous chondrite. Based on our mineralogical analysis we conclude that (298) Baptistina is similar to ordinary chondrites (LL-type) based on olivine and pyroxene mineralogy and moderate albedo. S-type and V-type in and around the vicinity of BAF we characterized show mineralogical affinity to (8) Flora and (4) Vesta and could be part of their families. Smaller BAF asteroids with lower SNR spectra showing only a 'single' band are compositionally similar to (298) Baptistina and L/LL chondrites. It is unclear at this point why the silicate absorption bands in spectra of asteroids with formal family definition seem suppressed relative to background population, despite having similar mineralogy.
Refractive index measurements in absorbing media with white light spectral interferometry

description: White light spectral interferometry is applied to measure the refractive index in absorbing liquids in the spectral range from 400 to 1000 nm. We analyze the influence of absorption on the visibility of interferometric fringes and, accordingly, on the measurement of the refractive index. Further, we show that the refractive index in the absorption band can be retrieved by a two step process. The procedure requires the use of two samples of different thickness, the thicker one to retrieve the refractive index in the transparent region and the thinnest to obtain the data in the absorption region. First, the refractive index values are retrieved with good accuracy in the transparent region of the material for 1 mm thick samples. Second, these refractive index values serve also to precisely calculate the thickness of a thinner sample (about 150 micrometers) since the accuracy of the method depends strongly on the thickness of the sample. Finally, the refractive index is recovered for the entire spectral range.

description: A silica colloidal crystal obtained by centrifugation at 9 G for 2 days in water was annealed by additional stronger centrifugation at 50 G for 5 days. The number of the striations observed in the colloidal crystal under crossed polarized light decreased at some parts in a growth container after additional centrifugation, while the number alse increase at the other parts. The decrease probably shows the shrinkage of the stacking disorders under high gravity, while the increase probably shows the production of new stacking disorder.
