SN 2008iy circumstellar interaction: Bright and lesser light effect
Creators: name: Chugai, Nikolai
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Optical photometry and spectra of the luminous type IIn supernova SN~2008iy are analysed in detail with implications for cosmic ray acceleration and the radio emission. The light curve and expansion velocities indicate ejecta with the kinetic energy of $3\times10^{51}$ erg to collide with the $\sim10$ Msun circumstellar envelope. The luminous Ha is explained as originated primarily from circumstellar clouds interacting with the forward shock. For the first time the fluorescent OI 8446A emission is used to demonstrate that the cloud fragmentation cascade spans a scale range > 2.3 dex. The narrow circumstellar Ha permitted us to estimate the acceleration efficiency of cosmic rays. The found value is close to the efficiency inferred in the same way for other two SNe~IIn, SN~1997eg and SN~2002ic. The efficiency of cosmic ray acceleration is utilized to reproduce the radio flux from SN~2008iy for the amplified magnetic field consistent with the saturated turbulent magnetic field in the diffusive shock acceleration mechanism.

description: D3.1 is the first of three deliverables describing the production and delivery of polyol samples. These deliverables are part of sub-task 3.1: Production of polyols (M1-M36). This document describes the first polyol samples produced and delivered to the relevant project partners in the period M1-M12. The polyols were produced at BTG, by the hydrogenation of pyrolysis oil or the pyrolytic sugars. The hydrogenation was executed in bench-scale or pilot-scale hydrotreaters applying the patented Ni-based PICULATM catalyst. After hydrogenation of the feed, different post-treatments/purification steps were applied to remove impurities. The eight polyol samples produced were sent to partner AEP to be tested in different polyurethane applications

Three-flavor mixed-action chiral perturbation theory at next-to-leading order, which includes the leading effects of the finite lattice spacing, is used to extrapolate the results of the lattice calculation to the physical value of m_{K+}/f_{K+}. We find m_{K+} a_{K+K+} = -0.352 +- 0.016, where the statistical and systematic errors have been combined in quadrature.

description: We show that the use of higher dimensional wrapped branes can significantly extend the inflaton field range compared to brane inflation models which use D3-branes. We construct a simple inflationary model in terms of 5-branes wrapping a 2-cycle and traveling towards the tip of the Klebanov-Strassler throat. Inflation ends when the branes reach the tip of the cone and self-annihilate. Assuming a quadratic potential for the brane it is possible to match the CMB data in the DBI regime, but we argue that the backreaction of the brane is important and cannot be neglected. This scenario predicts a strong non-Gaussian signal and possibly detectable gravitational waves.

description: Cyclic dominance is frequently believed to be a mechanism that maintains diversity of competing species. But this delicate balance could also be fragile if some of the members is weakened because an extinction of a species will involve the annihilation of its predator hence leaving only a single species alive. To check this expectation we here introduce a fourth species which chases exclusively a single member of the basic model composed by three cyclically dominant species. Interestingly, the coexistence is not necessarily broken and we have detected three consecutive phase transitions as we vary only the invasion strength of the fourth pestilent species. The resulting phases are analyzed by different techniques including the study of the Hamming distance density profiles. Some of our observations strengthen previous findings about cyclically dominant system, but they also offer new revelations and counter-intuitive phenomenon, like supporting pestilent species may result in its extinction, hence enriching our understanding about these very simple but still surprisingly complex systems.

description: The decay bar B -> bar K* (-> bar K pi) l+ l- offers great opportunities to explore the physics at and above the electroweak scale by means of an angular analysis. We investigate the physics potential of the seven CP asymmetries plus the asymmetry in the rate, working at low dilepton mass using QCD factorization at next-to leading order (NLO). The b ->s CP asymmetries are doubly Cabibbo-suppressed \lesssim 1 % in the Standard Model and its extensions where the CKM matrix is the only source of CP violation. Three CP asymmetries are T-odd, and can be O(1) in the presence of non-standard CP violation. The T-even asymmetries can reach O(0.1), limited by the small strong phases in the large recoil region. We furthermore point out an easy way to measure CP phases from time-integrated, untagged bar B_d, B_d -> K* (-> K0 pi0) l+ l- and bar B_s,B_s -> phi (-> K+ K-) l+ l- decays. Analyses of these CP asymmetries can rule out, or further support the minimal description of CP violation through the CKM mechanism. Experimental studies are promising for (super) flavor factories and at hadron colliders.

With new, emerging technologies of the second generation Internet there is even more to be captured and adopted: knowledge sharing with blogs, wikis, and social bookmarking services are examples of such technologies. Social Semantic Collaborative Filtering is a solution which adapts semantic web technologies to collaborative filtering solutions based on predefined social networks. In other words, users can classify and share their knowledge in a fashion similar to del.icio.us, but based on semantic annotations, linking to existing knowledge organization systems (thesauri, taxonomies). Provided solution does not only allow to organize existing information with nice AJAX interface, but also to blog on resources and browse, and share content of other blogs and forums (with SIOC exporters).

description: The quasi-Hilda comets (QHCs), being in unstable 3:2 Jovian mean motion resonance, are considered a major cause of temporary satellite capture (TSC) by Jupiter. Though the QHCs may be escaped Hilda asteroids, their origin and nature have not yet been studied in sufficient detail. Of particular interest are long TSCs/orbiters. Orbiters -- in which at least one full revolution about the planet is completed -- are rare astronomical events; only four have been known to occur in the last several decades. Every case has been associated with a QHC: 82P/Gehrels 3; 111P/Helin-Roman-Crockett; P/1996 R2 (Lagerkvist); and the possibly QHC-derived D/1993 F2 (Shoemaker-Levy 9, SL9). We focus on long TSC/orbiter events involving QHCs and Jupiter. Thus we survey the known QHCs, searching for further long TSCs/orbiters over the past century. First, we confirmed the long TSC/orbiter events of 82P, 111P, and 1996 R2 in order to test our method against previous work, applying a general N-body Newtonian code. We then used the same procedure to survey the remaining known QHCs and search for long TSC/orbiter events. We newly identified another long TSC/orbiter: 147P/Kushida-Muramatsu from 1949 May 14 (+97days/-106 days)--1961 July 15. Our result is verified by integrations of 243 cloned orbits which take account of the present orbital uncertainty of this comet. This is the third long TSC and the fifth orbiter to be found, thus long TSC/orbiter events involving Jupiter have occurred once per decade. Two full revolutions about Jupiter were completed and the capture duration was 12.17 (+0.29/-0.27) years; both these numbers rank 147P as third among long TSC/orbiter events, behind SL9 and 111P. This study also confirms the importance of the QHC region as a dynamical route into and out of Jovian TSC, via the Hill's sphere.

description: We quantize the set of all quarter BPS brane probe solutions in global AdS_3 \times S^3 \times T^4/K3 found in arxiv:0709.1168 [hep-th]. We show that, generically, these solutions give rise to states in discrete representations of the SL(2,R) WZW model on AdS_3. Our procedure provides us with a detailed description of the low energy 1/4 and 1/2 BPS sectors of string theory on this background. The 1/4 BPS partition function jumps as we move off the point in moduli space where the bulk theta angle and NS-NS fields vanish. We show that generic 1/2 BPS states are protected because they correspond to geodesics rather than puffed up branes. By exactly quantizing the simplest of the probes above, we verify our description of 1/4 BPS states and find agreement with the known spectrum of 1/2 BPS states of the boundary theory. We also consider the contribution of these probes to the elliptic genus and discuss puzzles, and their possible resolutions, in reproducing the elliptic genus of the symmetric product.

YORP torque as the function of shape harmonics
Creators: name: Breiter, S.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The second order analytical approximation of the mean YORP torque components is given as an explicit function of the shape spherical harmonics coefficients for a sufficiently regular minor body. The results are based upon a new expression for the insolation function, significantly simpler than in previous works. Linearized plane parallel model of the temperature distribution derived from the insolation function allows to take into account a nonzero conductivity. Final expressions for the three average components of the YORP torque related with rotation period, obliquity, and precession are given in a form of Legendre series of the cosine of obliquity. The series have good numerical properties and can be easily truncated according to the degree of Legendre polynomials or associated functions, with first two terms playing the principal role. The present version fixes the errors discovered in the text that appeared in Monthly Notices RAS (388, pp. 297-944).

description: A study of the distribution of OH gas in the central region of the nearby active starburst galaxy M82 has confirmed two previously known bright masers and revealed several new main line masers. Three of these are seen only at 1665 MHz, one is detected only at 1667 MHz, while the rest are detected in both lines. Observations covering both the 1665 and 1667 MHz lines, conducted with both the Very Large Array (VLA) and the Multi-Element Radio Linked Interferometer Network (MERLIN), have been used to accurately measure the positions and velocities of these features. This has allowed a comparison with catalogued continuum features in the starburst such as HII regions and supernova remnants, as well as known water and satellite line OH masers. Most of the main line masers appear to be associated with known HII regions although the two detected only at 1665 MHz are seen along the same line of sight as known supernova remnants.

The financing of non-university post-secondary institutions in British Columbia : the case of the colleges
Creators: name: Quarshie, James D.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The present study was undertaken with three major objectives, namely: 1. to determine the revenue distribution criteria employed by the B.C. Ministry of Education in allocating operational funds to the colleges; 2. to ascertain the types of, and extent of government controls over college operational funds; and 3. to determine the adequacy of the revenue distribution criteria and government controls over college operational funds. The study was carried out in three main phases. The first phase involved analysis of financial records of the participating colleges for the period 1972-1976 to determine variations in sources and size of operational funds to individual colleges. Using these data, interviews were held with Ministry of Education officials responsible for distributing college operational funds to determine the method used for allocating funds to each college and government controls over these funds. The final phase consisted of interviews with Ministry officials and principals of selected colleges to determine the strengths and weaknesses of the present system used for distributing operational funds. Participants were also asked what the limitations of government controls over college funds are, and what changes they would like to see take place. Analysis of the data indicated that the Ministry of Education did not employ any specifically defined criteria for determining the level of operational funds that went to each college; priority was; given, however, to such factors as approved new programmes, new facilities, prior year's commitments, and approved areas of growth. It was also found that the Ministry of Education exercised formal controls through legislation and regulation and informal controls through budget allocation decisions and through influence over several areas of college operational funds. Further, it was found that the majority of respondents were generally satisfied with the existing method used by the Ministry of Education for distributing college operational funds; minor changes were suggested which would improve the method. With respect to government controls over operational funds, concern was expressed for the lack of discretionary power of college principals in the internal allocation (and reallocation) of funds.

Measurements. —L, 6.4 mm, W, 4.2 mm.
Remarks. —The specimen comprises a single plate (a rostrum) that is likely attributable to? Capitulum lailae (Gripp, 1927), described from the same formation previously by Gripp (1927) and redescribed and refigured by Withers 1953: 112–114, pl. 4.1–4.11), who compared this taxon to Mitella mitella (Linnaeus, 1758) and placed the species in Mitella Oken, 1815, with reservations. However, M. mitella is currently assigned to Capitulum (e.g., Chan et al. 2009), hence the provisional placement of? C. lailae in that genus. Barnacles have rarely been reported from ancient cold seep-associated deposits so its presence in the Basilika Formation merits a note.
Stratigraphic and geographic range. —Upper Paleocene cold seep carbonates from the Basilika Formation, Fossildalen, Spitsbergen, Svalbard.

description: Search engines targeting content other than hypertext documents require a crawler that discovers resources identifying files of certain media types. Naive crawling approaches do not guarantee a sufficient supply of new URIs (Uniform Resource Identifiers) to visit; effective and scalable mechanisms for discovering and crawling targeted resources are needed. One promising approach is to use data mining techniques to identify the media type of a resource without the need for downloading the content of the resource. The idea is to use a learning approach on features derived from patterns occurring in the resource identifier. We present a focused crawler as a use case for fast and scalable data mining and discuss classification and pattern mining techniques suited for selecting resources satisfying specified media types. We show that we can process an average of 17,000 URIs/second and still detect the media type of resources with a precision of more than 80% and a recall of over 65% for all media types.
Electrostatic fluctuations in cavities within polar liquids and thermodynamics of polar solvation

description: We present the results of numerical simulations of fluctuations of the electrostatic potential and electric field inside cavities created in the fluid of dipolar hard spheres. We found that the thermodynamics of polar solvation dramatically changes its regime when the cavity size becomes about 4-5 times larger than the size of the liquid particle. The range of small cavities can be reasonably understood within the framework of current solvation models. On the contrary, the regime of large cavities is characterized by a significant softening of the cavity interface resulting in a decay of the fluctuation variances with the cavity size much faster than anticipated by both the continuum electrostatics and microscopic theories. For instance, the variance of potential decays with the cavity size $R_0$ approximately as $1/R_0^{4-6}$ instead of the $1/R_0$ scaling expected from standard electrostatics. Our results suggest that cores of non-polar molecular assemblies in polar liquids lose solvation strength much faster than is traditionally anticipated.

description: The integration of maggot therapy into clinical practice is not a trivial undertaking as it has to overcome social, regulatory, clinical, organisational, financial, and supply-chain-technical barriers. For example, rejection of the therapy by patients due to the ‘Yuk’ factor is frequently raised as a reason why maggot therapy will not be feasible. Likewise, logistics problems often hamper reliable supply. This chapter identifies these barriers and shows that in some instances they may be more assumed than real, as is the case with the ‘Yuk’ factor, and that there are tangible solutions for the implementation of maggot therapy programmes, such as supply-chain innovations or socially-minded business models that prioritise patients over profits. In addition, there is a growing body of information and training resources available from medicinal maggot producers, practitioner organisations, and biotherapy advocates that supports the establishment of maggot therapy programmes.
title: Image clustering and classification using content features
Creators: name: Alamoudi, Shadi
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2025

description: The ability to automatically recognise, classify, and cluster images is important
in many applied fields, including medical healthcare, astronomy, entertainment,
sports, defense, etc. Thus, it is important to develop efficient algorithms that can be
used to recognise images in different scenarios. In this thesis, three novel image-processing techniques based on content features are proposed.
First, modified probabilistic neural networks (PNNs) are introduced for image
classification based on various distance measures in probability space, in which the
input to the model is the local binary pattern (LBP) histogram of images. Conventional PNNs have an input layer that computes the Euclidean distance of pairwise
input features. The proposed modified PNN considers various probability distance
measures for computing the distances of LBP histograms between images. It is
shown that a PNN based on the Bhattacharyya distance measure is superior to other
studied measures. Moreover, using the subset of uniform LBP features is generally
better than using full LBP features.
Secondly, a novel self-tuning spectral clustering technique was proposed for
image classification application. Uniform and full-histogram LBP were used as features, while modified affinity matrices based on four distance measures were tested.
The experimental results indicate that uniform LBP features generally achieved
higher accuracy when compared to full-histogram LBP features. On the distance
measure side, Bhattacharyya distance-based affinity matrices achieved higher accuracy than other distance measures, especially in terms of large image data sets.
The disadvantage of supervised learning techniques is that they are limited to
learning from labelled data sets, which are often expensive to obtain. A novel de-
cision fusion framework is proposed by combining semi-supervised clustering with
well-known image feature analysis methods in computer vision. Initially, image
features are generated by applying the Gray level co-occurrence matrix analysis to
the processed data sets transformed by Gabor, Laplacian, or Gaussian filters. Then,
an on-line spherical k-means clustering technique guided by a minimum number of
labelled data sets is used to train the base classifiers. The final decision of classification is produced by selecting the classifier that produces the max-cosine value
among the baseline classifiers. Comparative experiments have been conducted to
demonstrate that the proposed approaches are suitable for automatic recognition.

Remarks.— Munida is very broadly diagnosed (Baba 2005: 88), contains well over 200 species (e.g., De Grave et al. 2009) and is likely to consist of multiple genera (e.g., Cabezas et al. 2008: fig. 2). For comparisons among genera below, we have used its type species, Munida rugosa (Fabricius, 1775). Munidids are known from some modern cold seeps (Olu et al. 1996; Sellanes et al. 2008; Coykendall et al. 2017).

description: We study $B \to K^* ρ$ modes that are analogues of the much studied $B\to K π$ modes with B decaying to two vector mesons instead of pseudoscalar mesons, using topological amplitudes in the quark diagram approach. We show how $B \to K^*ρ$ modes can be used to obtain many more observables than those for $B \to K π$ modes, even though the quark level subprocesses of both modes are exactly the same. All the theoretical parameters (except for the weak phase $γ$), such as the magnitudes of the topological amplitudes and their strong phases, can be determined in terms of the observables without any model-dependent assumption. We demonstrate how $B\to K^*ρ$ can also be used to verify if there exist any relations between theoretical parameters, such as the hierarchy relations between the topological amplitudes and possible relations between the strong phases. Conversely, if there exist reliable theoretical estimates of amplitudes and strong phases, the presence of New physics could be probed. We show that if the tree and color-supressed tree are related to the electroweak penguins and color-supressed electroweak penguins, it is not only possible to verify the validity of such relations but also to have a clean measurement of New Physics parameters. We also present a numerical study to examine which of the observables are more sensitive to New Physics.

description: Permanent neutrality is a legal status whereby individual states are bound to remain neutral and adhere to the law of neutrality in all circumstances wherein that body of law is applicable. Permanently neutral states must also comply with certain peacetime duties in order to ensure that their neutrality during future conflicts remains possible. From the recognition of the permanent neutrality of Switzerland by the Congress of Vienna in 1815 to the modern day, permanent neutrality has been a constant feature of the international stage. It is thus curious that the issue has remained largely underexplored in mainstream contemporary international law scholarship. Even while the law of neutrality has seen renewed attention in recent years,1 permanent neutrality has been overlooked. For example, permanent neutrality has been largely absent from the recent resurgence in scholarly attention and debates on the law of neutrality during the Russian invasion of Ukraine.2 The concept has thus, at least in the English-speaking world, been largely relegated to the musty pages of 19th and 20th century scholarship. Alternatively, permanent neutrality receives, at best, a brief mention in larger studies on neutrality, war, and international law.3 This thesis endeavours to reintroduce permanent neutrality into the contemporary world of international legal scholarship, and to situate it back alongside the law of neutrality as a topic deserving of academic study. This thesis is therefore orientated around the following research questions: (i) (ii) (iii) how is the permanent neutrality of states established, and how does it come to an end; what is the effect of permanently neutral status on states other than the permanently neutral state; and what are the rights and duties of permanently neutral states during both wartime and peacetime?

description: We derive semiclassical quantization equations for graphene mono- and bilayer systems where the excitations are confined by the applied inhomogeneous magnetic field. The importance of a semiclassical phase, a consequence of the spinor nature of the excitations, is pointed out. The semiclassical eigenenergies show good agreement with the results of quantum mechanical calculations based on the Dirac equation of graphene and with numerical tight binding calculations.

Chlerogella buyssoni (Vachal); Moure and Hurd, 1987: 218; Moure et al., 2007: 794. Comments. This species was placed without reservation in Chlerogella by Moure and Hurd (1987), who presumably had seen the type specimen. I attempted, without success, to locate the type in the Museum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris in 1996 and accordingly could not confirm this generic assignment nor provide a description for the species. Vachal’s original description gives the impression of a Chlerogella owing to the elongate head, small size (6 mm), and pectinate inner metatibial spur with five branches, but he does not provide sufficient detail for a more confident placement. No description of uniquely Chlerogella features such as the dorsal surface of the pronotum (modified in some species) or the propodeum are provided and the few elements given do not match ideally those species before me. Vachal’s descriptive notes come closest to C. nasus (Enderlein), but only in superficial details of coloration and given the significantly larger size for the latter I have preferred not to assume that the two are conspecific. Vachal’s holotype was collected near Callanga, Perú. Hopefully further collecting in the area will recover new material and the species may be adequately characterized.

Development planning and the informal sector : a case study of the automobile-repair shops in four cities of tropical Africa
Creators: name: Jourdain, Robert M.,
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Most African governments are today increasingly inclined to argue that their development planning process would be incomplete and perhaps retarded unless the people and activities of the informal sector are included into both the plan and the process. Between 1977 and 1979, the International Labour Organization (ILO) carried-out a series of informal sector censuses and sample surveys in the primate cities of five countries of Francophone Africa. This thesis is based upon selected data collected in four cities, namely Nouakchott (Mauritania), Bamako (Mali), Lome (Togo) and Yaounde (Cameroon). The thesis is introduced by briefly describing the four countries' economies , summarizing the debate on the informal sector concept and the ILO survey project objectives and methodology. The census results are then presented and the focus is put on a segment of these activities, the "modern" informal sector which was sample surveyed. The "automobile-repair shops", study population of this thesis is isolated. A second chapter draws a statistical profile of the entrepreneurs and their undertakings in the four cities. This description, as a first objective, is compared against the general average of the overall modern informal sector population. This collective portrait includes data on the identity, social origins, education, training and working life of the entrepreneurs. A profile of their undertakings is given by statistics on labour force, the salaries, the net income etc. In a following chapter, the second objective of this thesis is to assess the efficiency of the national development planning process in these countries. Particular attention is devoted to the attitudes of these governments towards the informal sector. It is concluded that both the plan and the process, as presently operating in these countries, are not the best tools to use, should assistance to the informal sector be given. The fourth chapter deals with the objective of examining the automobile-repair shop entrepreneur's response to potential Governmental assistance. A discriminant analysis is performed to investigate how "undifferentiated" that response could be. The results show that, even for a narrow sub-population of the modern informal sector, the entrepreneurs do not form an homogeneous mass of people. They are very unequally committed to the perspectives of governmental assistance. The policy implications of the preceeding conclusions are threefold: • Scarce government resources could be more usefully allocated to other sectors of the economy. • Should assistance to the informal sector be given, we would have clearly to distinguish between heterogeneous sub-populations. • Today's prospects for a successful assistance are not promissing. It is difficult for these governments to develop meaningful policies which would effectively assist the informal sector.

description: Specific conductance and frequency-dependent resistance (impedance) data are widely utilized for understanding the physicochemical characteristics of aqueous and non-aqueous fluids and for evaluating the performance of chemical processes. However, the implementation of such an in-situ probe in high-temperature and high-pressure environments is not trivial. This work provides a description of both the hardware and software associated with implementing a parallel-type in-situ electrochemical sensor. The sensor can be used for in-line monitoring of thermal desalination processes and for impedance measurements in fluids at high temperature and pressure. A comparison between the experimental measurements on the specific conductance in aqueous sodium chloride solutions and the conductance model demonstrate that the methodology yields reasonable agreement with both the model and literature data. A combination of hardware components, a software-based correction for experimental artifacts, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) calculations used in this work provide a sound basis for implementing such in-situ electrochemical sensors to measure frequency-dependent resistance spectra.

Parametric Normal-Mode Splitting in Cavity Optomechanics

description: Recent experimental progress in cavity optomechanics has allowed cooling of mesoscopic mechanical oscillators via dynamic backaction provided by the parametric coupling to either an optical or an electrical resonator. Here we analyze the occurrence of normal-mode splitting in backaction cooling at high input power. We find that a hybridization of the oscillator's motion with the fluctuations of the driving field occurs and leads to a splitting of the mechanical and optical fluctuation spectra. Moreover, we find that cooling experiences a classical limitation through the cavity lifetime.
