title: Soma Morgenstern, Abraham Joshua Heschel und Abraham Sonne
Creators: name: Somogyi, Paula
Year: 2022

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit hat das Ziel, dem schriftlichen Zeugnis der Beziehung zwischen Soma Morgenstern, Abraham Sonne und Abraham Joshua Heschel, nachzugehen. Jenes Zeugnis findet seine Hauptquelle im Soma Morgensterns 'Motivenbericht' zu seinem Roman 'Die Blutsäule'. Diese Betrachtung dient als Ausgangspunkt für nähere Untersuchungen von gegenseitigen literarischen Wechselwirkungen. In diesem Rahmen soll die Komplexität der drei Persönlichkeiten in ihrem geschichtlichen Kontext aufgezeigt werden. Zudem wurden soziokulturelle Einflüsse, die ihre schöpferische Transformation beeinflussten und die sich im Schaffen dieser drei Künstlers widerspiegeln, abgebildet. Sie alle verband das Bestreben nach einer Transformation der Essenz, des Geistes des Judentums, in einer zeitgenössischen Sprache, die ihr Publikum in der Zeit vor und nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg angesprochen hat. Als Ergebnis wurde ermittelt, dass die Beziehung zwischen Soma Morgenstern und Abraham J. Heschel, die ihren Ursprung in Wien hatte, lebenslang angedauert hat, während der Kontakt zu Abraham Sonne nach deren Flucht vor dem Nationalsozialismus erlosch. Es wurden einerseits die Unterschiede zwischen den Protagonisten verdeutlicht, andererseits ihre Gemeinsamkeiten in ihren Denkkonzepten aufgezeigt, die einen tieferen Ursprung hatten und die ihnen geholfen haben, sich über etwaige Differenzen hinwegzusetzen.
description: This paper aims to trace down the written manifestations of the relationship between Soma Morgenstern, Abraham Sonne and Abraham Joshua Heschel, which found its main source in Soma Morgenstern's 'Motivenbericht' regarding his novel 'The Third Pillar' (Die Blutsäule). This observation will serve as a starting point for closer investigations of mutual literary interactions. Within this framework, the complexity of these three personalities will be shown in their historical context. In addition, socio-cultural factors that influenced the creative transformation of these thinkers and that are reflected in each of their oeuvres are discussed and mapped out. All three were united in the effort to transform the essence, the spirit of Judaism, into a contemporary language fitting the discourse of the period before and after the Second World War. This paper elucidates that the relationship between Soma Morgenstern and Abraham J. Heschel, which originated in Vienna, lasted for life. Their contact with Abraham Sonne, however, came to a halt after their escape from Nazi persecution. Moreover, similarities and dissimilarities between the protagonists are illustrated and discussed. Those similarities had a deeper origin and helped them to overcome differences among them.

description: While the pentavalent rotavirus vaccine was highly efficacious against rotavirus diarrhea in clinical trials, the vaccine’s effectiveness under field conditions in the developing world is unclear. In October, 2006, Nicaragua became the first developing nation to implement universal infant immunization with the pentavalent rotavirus vaccine. To assess the impact of the immunization program, we examined the incidence of diarrhea episodes between 2003 and 2009 among children in the state of León, Nicaragua.

description: In order to recover the original scene image from an image sequence distorted by water waves, an image reconstruction framework which combined robust image registration with lucky patches fusion approach is proposed in this paper.Firstly, a lucky-patches search algorithm is used to reconstruct a high-quality reference frame. Unlike the latest iterative registration methods, we first align the image sequence with the mean by an initial registration in the first iteration, and then perform the patch search algorithm in subsequent iterations. Subsequently, an iterative robust registration algorithm is applied to register the distorted frame to the reference frame. During the registration process, we combine JADE with LBFGS algorithms as the optimization strategy to accelerate the control parameters optimization process. Finally the principal component analysis and lucky patches fusion technologies are employed to refine the registered frames.

description: In this paper, the Drinfeld center of a monoidal category is generalized to a class of mixed Drinfeld centers. This gives a unified picture for the Drinfeld center and a natural Heisenberg analogue. Further, there is an action of the former on the latter. This picture is translated to a description in terms of Yetter-Drinfeld and Hopf modules over quasi-bialgebras in a braided monoidal category. Via braided reconstruction theory, intrinsic definitions of braided Drinfeld and Heisenberg doubles are obtained, together with a generalization of the result in [Lu94] that the Heisenberg double is a 2-cocycle twist of the Drinfeld double for general braided Hopf algebras.

description: In this paper we obtain a model of Natural Inflation from string theory with a Planckian decay constant. We investigate D-brane dynamics in the background of the warped resolved conifold (WRC) throat approximation of Type IIB string compactifications on Calabi-Yau manifolds. When we glue the throat to a compact bulk Calabi-Yau, we generate a D-brane potential which is a solution to the Laplace equation on the resolved conifold. We can exactly solve this equation, including dependence on the angular coordinates. The solutions are valid down to the tip of the resolved conifold, which is not the case for the more commonly used deformed conifold. This allows us to exploit the effect of the warping, which is strongest at the tip. We inflate near the tip using an angular coordinate of a D5-brane in the WRC which has a discrete shift symmetry, and feels a cosine potential, giving us a model of Natural Inflation, from which it is possible to get a Planckian decay constant whilst maintaining control over the backreaction. This is because the decay constant for a wrapped brane contains powers of the warp factor, and so can be made large, while the wrapping parameter can be kept small enough so that backreaction is under control.

description: Routine HIV testing, called provider-initiated opt-out HIV testing and counseling (PITC), is recommended in African countries with high HIV prevalence. However, it is unknown whether PITC increases access to pediatric HIV care. In 2008 the Baylor International Pediatric AIDS Initiative implemented PITC (BIPAI-PITC) at a Malawian hospital. We sought to evaluate the influence of BIPAI-PITC, compared to non-routine HIV testing (NRT), on pediatric HIV care access.

description: Background: Chronic prurigo (CPG) is an inflammatory skin disease. Comorbidities including dermatological, cardiovascular, and psychiatric diseases have been reported in patients with CPG, however, the evidence has not been systematically evaluated. We aim to summarize the comorbidities, discuss underlying pathogenesis, and highlight the evaluation of CPG patients.Methods: We performed a systematic search using PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases for all articles reporting possible associated diseases with CPG. Pooled random-effects odds ratios (OR) with 95% CI were calculated.Results: A total of 17 studies were included in this systematic review. Statistically significant association(P<0.05) with CPG has been demonstrated with atopic diseases: atopic dermatitis (pooled OR, 10.91; 95% CI, 3.65-32.67), allergic rhinitis (2.66;1.12-6.27), asthma (3.23;1.55-6.74); infectious diseases: hepatitis B (pooled OR, 2.15; 95% CI, 1.11-4.14); endocrine diseases: diabetes (pooled OR, 4.93; 95% CI, 1.13-21.56), type 1 diabetes 2.46;2.16-2.81), type 2 diabetes (1.89;1.34-2.68), hyperlipoproteinemia (2.90; 1.61-5.22); cardiovascular diseases: heart failure (pooled OR, 4.13; 95% CI, 1.15-14.91), hypertension (3.17;1.56-6.45); respiratory system diseases: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (pooled OR, 3.19; 95% CI, 1.42-7.16); urinary system diseases: chronic kidney disease (pooled OR, 4.16; 95% CI, 1.79-9.66); digestive system disease: inflammatory bowel disease (pooled OR, 2.06; 95% CI, 1.26-3.36); and others: osteoporosis (pooled OR, 3.08; 95% CI, 1.70-5.59), thyroid disease (1.70;1.17-2.47).Conclusion: CPG is associated with various systemic disorders. Recognition of comorbidities is critical to the appropriate management of affected patients.
Electronic-structure study of an edge dislocation in Aluminum and the role of macroscopic deformations on its energetics

description: We employed a real-space formulation of orbital-free density functional theory using finite-element basis to study the defect-core and energetics of an edge dislocation in Aluminum. Our study shows that the core-size of a perfect edge dislocation is around ten times the magnitude of the Burgers vector. This finding is contrary to the widely accepted notion that continuum descriptions of dislocation energetics are accurate beyond 1-3 Burgers vector from the dislocation line. Consistent with prior electronic-structure studies, we find that the perfect edge dislocation dissociates into two Shockley partials with a partial separation distance of 12.8 $Å$. Interestingly, our study revealed a significant influence of macroscopic deformations on the core-energy of Shockley partials. We show that this dependence of the core-energy on macroscopic deformations results in an additional force on dislocations, beyond the Peach-Koehler force, that is proportional to strain gradients. Further, we demonstrate that this force from core-effects can be significant and can play an important role in governing the dislocation behavior in regions of inhomogeneous deformations.

description: The World Health Organization guidelines recommend cotrimoxazole prophylactic treatment (CPT) for all HIV-exposed infants from age 6 weeks to the cessation of breastfeeding and the exclusion of HIV infection. There are limited data about the effects of CPT among this population of infants. We examined the effects of CPT on adverse health outcomes among HIV-exposed infants during the first 36 weeks of life by using data from the Breastfeeding, Antiretrovirals, and Nutrition (BAN) study, a large clinical trial of antiretroviral drugs given to the mother or infant for prevention of HIV transmission during breastfeeding.

A PROPAGATION OF SINGULARITIES THEOREM AND A WELL-POSEDNESS RESULT FOR THE KLEIN-GORDON EQUATION ON ASYMPTOTICALLY ANTI-DE SITTER SPACETIMES WITH GENERAL BOUNDARY CONDITIONS
Creators: name: MARTA, ALESSIO
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2022

description: In this thesis we study the Klein-Gordon equation on asymptotically anti-de Sitter (aAdS) spacetimes with boundary conditions implemented by pseudodifferential operators (PDOs) of order up to 2. Using techniques of microlocal analysis and b-calculus, we prove two propagation of singularities theorems, one for pseudodifferential operators of non-positive order and one for PDOs of order 0 < k <= 2, and we establish a well-posedness result in certain twisted Sobolev spaces. In particular, we discuss the existence and uniqueness of the advanced and retarded fundamental solutions for the Klein-Gordon equation with prescribed boundary conditions and we characterize their wavefront set. At last, as a concrete application, we build the fundamental solutions for a massless Klein-Gordon equation on a static aAdS spacetime with admissible boundary conditions using the formalism of boundary triples.
Evolving magnetism in intermediate mass PMS stars
Creators: name: Hussain, Gaitee
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018

description: On the main sequence, only 5-10\% of intermediate mass stars ($>1.2 M_\odot$) host strong large-scale surface magnetic fields. These magnetic field topologies tend to be relatively simple dipolar fields that are stable over decades. However, all stars with masses between $1.2-4 M_\odot$ undergo a T Tauri star stage during their pre-main sequence evolution, during which they possess outer convective envelopes and (presumably) dynamo activity. We present the results of our spectropolarimetric study of a sample of 38 intermediate-mass PMS stars. Magnetic fields are detected in the cooler half of our sample, strongly suggesting the magnetic incidence drops very quickly (within 0.1 Myr) as the radiative core exceeds 0.75$R_*$ (or $0.98 M_*$). The properties of the spectropolarimetric signatures also imply an increase in the field complexity as the radiative core develops; this is the first indication that intermediate-mass T Tauri stars show similar behaviour to their low-mass counterparts and has a corresponding implication for their early angular momentum evolution.
Sharp nonasymptotic bounds on the norm of random matrices with independent entries

description: We obtain nonasymptotic bounds on the spectral norm of random matrices with independent entries that improve significantly on earlier results. If $X$ is the $n\times n$ symmetric matrix with $X_{ij}\sim N(0,b_{ij}^2)$, we show that \[\mathbf{E}\Vert X\Vert \lesssim\max_i\sqrt{\sum_jb_{ij}^2}+\max _{ij}\vert b_{ij}\vert \sqrt{\log n}.\] This bound is optimal in the sense that a matching lower bound holds under mild assumptions, and the constants are sufficiently sharp that we can often capture the precise edge of the spectrum. Analogous results are obtained for rectangular matrices and for more general sub-Gaussian or heavy-tailed distributions of the entries, and we derive tail bounds in addition to bounds on the expected norm. The proofs are based on a combination of the moment method and geometric functional analysis techniques. As an application, we show that our bounds immediately yield the correct phase transition behavior of the spectral edge of random band matrices and of sparse Wigner matrices. We also recover a result of Seginer on the norm of Rademacher matrices.

description: We present two-flavor lattice QCD estimates of the hadronic couplings $g_{B^*_0 B π}$ and $g_{B_1^* B_0^* π}$ that parametrise the non leptonic decays $B^*_0 \to B π$ and $B^*_1 \to B_0^* π$. We use CLS two-flavour gauge ensembles. Our framework is the Heavy Quark Effective Theory (HQET) in the static limit and solving a Generalized Eigenvalue Problem (GEVP) reveals crucial to disentangle the $B^*_0$($B^*_1$) state from the $B π$($B^*π$) state. This work brings us some experience on how to treat the possible contribution from multihadronic states to correlation functions calculated on the lattice, especially when $S$-wave states are involved.

description: We argue that the divergence in time for the asymptotic observer occurs because of specifying the position of the Horizon beyond the Planck scale. In fact, a similar divergence in time will also occur for an in-going observer in Gravity's Rainbow, if we again specify the position of the Horizon beyond the Planck scale. On the other hand, if we accept the occurrence of a minimum measurable length scale associated with a universal invariant maximum energy scale in Gravity's Rainbow, then the time taken by both the in-going and asymptotic observers will be finite.

description: Multiplex networks describe a large number of systems ranging from social networks to the brain. These multilayer structure encode information in their structure. This information can be extracted by measuring the correlations present in the multiplex networks structure, such as the overlap of the links in different layers. Many multiplex networks are also weighted, and the weights of the links can be strongly correlated with the structural properties of the multiplex network. For example in multiplex network formed by the citation and collaboration networks between PRE scientists it was found that the statistical properties of citations to co-authors are different from the one of citations to non-co-authors, i.e. the weights depend on the overlap of the links. Here we present a theoretical framework for modelling multiplex weighted networks with different types of correlations between weights and overlap. To this end, we use the framework of canonical network ensembles, and the recently introduced concept of multilinks, showing that null models of a large variety of network structures can be constructed in this way. In order to provide a concrete example of how this framework apply to real data we consider a multiplex constructed from gene expression data of healthy and cancer tissues.

description: Candida infections are a leading cause of infectious disease-related death in infants supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). The ECMO circuit can alter drug pharmacokinetics (PK), thus standard fluconazole dosing in children on ECMO may result in suboptimal drug exposure.

Using accretion to probe inner disk gas-to-dust ratios, physics, and composition
Creators: name: Kama, Mihkel
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018

description: Stars over 1.4 times more massive than the sun have radiative envelopes where mass is mixed slowly. This allows them to retain freshly accreted material on their surface, which offers us an unprecedented window into the detailed elemental composition of the gas and solid components of the inner disk. We analyse a sample of Herbig Ae/Be systems and determine the gas-to-dust ratio in each of their inner disks. We further constrain the fraction of sulfur retained in rocks, and investigate the behaviour of key elements such as carbon, oxygen, iron, and magnesium. Finally, we obtain some constraints on cavity and gap formation history in a few disks and highlight synergies with other observational studies of the inner regions.

The synthetic ALMA multiband analysis of the dust properties of the TW Hya protoplanetary disk
Creators: name: Kim, Seongjoong
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018

description: We performed the synthetic multiband analysis to find the best ALMA band set for constraining the dust properties of the TW Hya protoplanetary disk. We find two conditions for the good ALMA band sets providing narrow constraint ranges on dust properties; 1) Band 9 or 10 is included in the band set and 2) Enough frequency intervals between the bands. These are related with the conditions which give good constraints on dust properties; including both optically thick and thin bands in the band set, large β (κν ∝ νβ), and low dust temperature at high-frequency bands. To examine our synthetic analysis results, we apply the multiband analysis to ALMA archival data of the TW Hya disk at Band 4, 6, 7, and 9. Band [9,6,4] set provides the dust properties close to the model profile with narrow constraint ranges, while Band [7,6,4] set shows the deviations of dust properties from the model profile with too broad constraint range to specify the values. Based on these features, we conclude that the synthetic multiband analysis is well consistent with the results derived from real data.

description: We have implemented the dynamical vertex approximation (D$Γ$A) in its full parquet-based version to include spatial correlations on all length scales and in {\sl all} scattering channels. The algorithm is applied to study the electronic self-energies and the spectral properties of finite-size one-dimensional Hubbard models with periodic boundary conditions (nanoscopic Hubbard rings). From a methodological point of view, our calculations and their comparison to the results obtained within dynamical mean-field theory, plain parquet approximation, and the exact numerical solution, allow us to evaluate the performance of the D$Γ$A algorithm in the most challenging situation of low dimensions. From a physical perspective, our results unveil how non-local correlations affect the spectral properties of nanoscopic systems of various sizes in different regimes of interaction strength.

description: The dynamics of a bouncing ball model under the influence of dissipation is investigated by using a two dimensional nonlinear mapping. When high dissipation is considered, the dynamics evolves to different attractors. The evolution of the basins of the attracting fixed points is characterized, as we vary the control parameters. Crises between the attractors and their boundaries are observed. We found that the multiple attractors are intertwined, and when the boundary crisis between their stable and unstable manifolds occur, it creates a successive mechanism of destruction for all attractors originated by the sinks. Also, an impact physical crises is setup, and it may be useful as a mechanism to reduce the number of attractors in the system.
Constraining the dust properties and shape of the inner rim with NIR interferometry
Creators: name: Klarmann, Lucia
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018

description: The dust in the inner region of PPDs is the base material for terrestrial planet formation. The arrival of PIONIER, GRAVITY and MATISSE allows spatially resolved high quality observations of this region. Interferometric observations are often interpreted using simplified components to describe the source emission. To find out how results derived in this way relate to the true structure and physics of this region, we created physical models including dust evaporation and formation and "observed" these models in the same way as observations are treated. The inner rim position can be very well constrained, even for only partially resolved objects, and the radial extend of the rim to within a factor of 2, but not better, for resolved objects. Comparing with the recent PIONIER survey of Lazareff17, we find that the rim position of most Herbig stars can be explained using olivine grains with an MRN like size distribution, but also with small olivine grains and the presence of forsterite or iron. For some objects, we can not re-create the amount of NIR flux from the rim, indicating that additional components like disk winds or MHD effects should be included in the modelling process.

description: We study a general class of birth-and-death processes with state space $\mathbb{N}$ that describes the size of a population going to extinction with probability one. This class contains the logistic case. The scale of the population is measured in terms of a `carrying capacity' $K$. When $K$ is large, the process is expected to stay close to its deterministic equilibrium during a long time but ultimately goes extinct. Our aim is to quantify the behavior of the process and the mean time to extinction in the quasi-stationary distribution as a function of $K$, for large $K$. We also give a quantitative description of this quasi-stationary distribution. It turns out to be close to a Gaussian distribution centered about the deterministic long-time equilibrium, when $K$ is large. Our analysis relies on precise estimates of the maximal eigenvalue, of the corresponding eigenvector and of the spectral gap of a self-adjoint operator associated with the semigroup of the process.

description: Detecting faults in electrical power grids is of paramount importance, either from the electricity operator and consumer viewpoints. Modern electric power grids (smart grids) are equipped with smart sensors that allow to gather real-time information regarding the physical status of all the component elements belonging to the whole infrastructure (e.g., cables and related insulation, transformers, breakers and so on). In real-world smart grid systems, usually, additional information that are related to the operational status of the grid itself are collected such as meteorological information. Designing a suitable recognition (discrimination) model of faults in a real-world smart grid system is hence a challenging task. This follows from the heterogeneity of the information that actually determine a typical fault condition. The second point is that, for synthesizing a recognition model, in practice only the conditions of observed faults are usually meaningful. Therefore, a suitable recognition model should be synthesized by making use of the observed fault conditions only. In this paper, we deal with the problem of modeling and recognizing faults in a real-world smart grid system, which supplies the entire city of Rome, Italy. Recognition of faults is addressed by following a combined approach of multiple dissimilarity measures customization and one-class classification techniques. We provide here an in-depth study related to the available data and to the models synthesized by the proposed one-class classifier. We offer also a comprehensive analysis of the fault recognition results by exploiting a fuzzy set based reliability decision rule.

A perturbed inner disk rim of the possibly protoplanetary circumbinary disk around a post-AGB binary
Creators: name: Kluska, Jacques
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018

description: Several post-AGB binaries appear to be surrounded by disks of dust and gas. These disks are formed from the matter expelled from the evolved star at the end of the AGB phase that gravitationally interacted with the companion. The disks display a Keplerian rotation profile and share several common features with protoplanetary disks around young stars despite a different formation scenario. We will present the near-infrared interferometric imaging observations of the circumbinary disk around the post-AGB binary system IRAS08544-4431. A classical radiative transfer model of a protoplanetary disk in hydrostatic equilibrium is able to reproduce both the SED and the interferometric observations. As in protoplanetary disks, the inner disk rim seems to be ruled by dust sublimation physics. However, we find non-axisymmetric structures in the disk that likely originate from the disk/binary interactions. Studying these disks more deeply could reveal that they can be a promising place for second-generation planet formation.

description: In 1996, Huisken-Yau showed that every three-dimensional Riemannian manifold can be uniquely foliated near infinity by stable closed CMC-surfaces if it is asymptotically equal to the (spatial) Schwarzschild solution and has positive mass. Their assumptions were later weakened by Metzger, Huang, Eichmair-Metzger and others. We further generalize these existence results in dimension three by proving that it is sufficient to assume asymptotic flatness and non-vanishing mass to conclude the existence and uniqueness of the CMC-foliation and explain why this seems to be the conceptually optimal result. Furthermore, we generalize the characterization of the corresponding coordinate CMC-center of mass by the ADM-center of mass proven previously by Corvino-Wu, Huang, Eichmair-Metzger and others (under other assumptions).

Mass transport in the FUor-candidate system Haro 5a IRS in Orion
Creators: name: Kospal, Agnes
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018

description: FU Orionis-type stars (FUors) are young stellar objects experiencing large optical outbursts due to highly enhanced accretion from the circumstellar disk onto the star. FUors are often surrounded by envelopes, which have a significant role in the outburst mechanism. Conversely, the subsequent eruptions gradually clear up the envelope material and drive the embedded, Class I protostar on its way to become a disk-only, Class II T Tauri star. The Haro 5a/6a system is a bipolar reflection nebula in Orion. The central high luminosity protostar, Haro 5a IRS, bears many similarities to FUors. Here we present ALMA observations of the 1.3 mm continuum and CO lines at 70 au resolution of Haro 5a IRS, which we analyze together with archival Hubble Space Telescope images. The high spatial resolution data reveal the kinematics of the circumstellar material in unprecedented detail, showing a complex combination of disk rotation, envelope infall, and a giant molecular outflow, further complicated by obscuring filaments in the area.

description: This study analyzes prices by distribution stage to test the convergence of price transfer using livestock price statistics from the Livestock Quality Assessment Service from January 2011 to November 2020. It also focuses on the asymmetry between prices in each distribution phase as a factor affecting the convergence. According to our analysis, the cattle prices of the wholesale and retail markets show an asymmetric relationship. However, the production, wholesale and retail prices of pigs are symmetric. Moreover, cattle’s wholesale prices converge on their retail prices, while they do not converge on production prices. In the case of pigs, their wholesale prices do not converge to retail prices. This result indicates that there are inefficiency and monopoly in the market between wholesale prices and retail markets in the case of cattle and pigs. In conclusion, as some distribution channels can occupy profits in the livestock market, the government needs to establish a distribution policy to protect cattle and pig producers and consumers.
A Closer Look on Dust Growth: The Spectral Index
Creators: name: Stammler, Sebastian
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018

description: Dust particles grow in protoplanetary disks by collisional agglomeration from sub-micrometer sizes up to pebbles where further growth is hindered by processes like bouncing/fragmentation or radial drift. In addition to the particle size, dust evolution also changes other properties, such as the porosity due to fractal growth and collisional compactification or the chemical composition if particles cross ice lines. These properties influence the dust opacities and therefore the optical depth in the continuum emission. Since the spectral index in the long-wavelength limit is sensitive to the optical depth and the dust opacities, it can be used to investigate particle growth. In this talk I will present simulations of dust evolution in protoplanetary disks and show how particle growth changes the spectral index within the disk over time. Since the growth time scale is shortest in the inner disk, dust evolution happens from the inside to the outside. This induces a wave-like pattern in the spectral index that propagates outwards in the disk. Observing this feature might shed light on how far dust growth already proceeded in protoplanetary disks.

description: X-ray polarimetry promises to deliver unique information about the geometry of the inner accretion flow of astrophysical black holes and the nature of matter and electromagnetism in and around neutron stars. In this paper, we discuss the possibility to use Stokes parameters - a commonly used tool in radio, infrared, and optical polarimetry - to analyze the data from X-ray polarimeters such as scattering polarimeters and photoelectric effect polarimeters, which measure the linear polarization of the detected X-rays. Based on the azimuthal scattering angle (in the case of a scattering polarimeter) or the azimuthal component of the angle of the electron ejection (in the case of a photoelectric effect polarimeter), the Stokes parameters can be calculated for each event recorded in the detector. Owing to the additive nature of Stokes parameters, the analysis reduces to adding the Stokes parameters of the individual events and subtracting the Stokes parameters characterizing the background (if present). The main strength of this kind of analysis is that the errors on the Stokes parameters can be computed easily and are well behaved - in stark contrast of the errors on the polarization fraction and polarization direction. We demonstrate the power of the Stokes analysis by deriving several useful formulae, e.g. the expected error on the polarization fraction and polarization direction for a detection of $N_S$ signal and $N_{BG}$ background events, the optimal observation times of the signal and background regions in the presence of non-negligible background contamination of the signal, and the minimum detectable polarization (MDP) that can be achieved when following this prescription.

Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (cs.CV)

description: In this paper, a text line identification method is proposed. The text lines of printed document are easy to segment due to uniform straightness of the lines and sufficient gap between the lines. But in handwritten documents, the line is non-uniform and interline gaps are variable. We take Rabindranath Tagore's manuscript as it is one of the most difficult manuscripts that contain doodles. Our method consists of a pre-processing stage to clean the document image. Then we separate doodles from the manuscript to get the textual region. After that we identify the text lines on the manuscript. For text line identification, we use window examination, black run-length smearing, horizontal histogram and connected component analysis.
Asymmetric CQ-Tau transition disk at high angular resolution
Creators: name: Tax, Tomáš
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018

description: CQ-Tau is a typical transition disk, presenting large asymmetries in the continuum emission, as well as in the gas line emission. Due to all these features and especially their large inner cavities, transition disks are one of the best planet candidate targets, according to many theoretical studies. In this poster, I present high angular resolution data from ALMA band 6 with detailed analysis and measurements of the CQ-Tau transition disk.
