description: We study a simple two Higgs doublet model (2HDM) in the Randall-Sundrum scenario, with an IR brane localized Higgs field and a second doublet arising from a $t\bar{t}$ condensate due to strong Kaluza-Klein gluon effects. The effective 2HDM predicts that the ratio of the brane to condensate vacuum expectation values $\tan β\sim 3$. It also predicts a standard model like Higgs boson of mass ${\mathcal{O}}(100)$ GeV and a heavier scalar at the scale of the lowest KK gluon mass, which we take to be $M_{KK} \gtrsim 1.5$ TeV. The pseudoscalar and the charged scalars are degenerate in mass at tree-level and are ${\mathcal{O}}(M_{KK})$. There are no tree-level flavor changing neutral currents (FCNC) for the down-type quarks and the standard model results hold there. In contrast, FCNC decays of the t-quark larger than in the SM are expected.

Using mixed methods to explain maternal anger : examining the relationships between sleep and anger and exploring mothers' development of anger

description: Maternal anger has been overlooked as a postnatal mood disturbance. The empirical literature supports a strong relationship between sleep and mental health. Proportions of women experiencing anger and whether maternal-infant sleep problems are associated with anger as a postpartum mood disturbance are unknown. Social media was used to recruit Canadian mothers of infants between 6 and 12 months of age to complete an online survey about maternal-infant sleep after receiving ethical approval. The survey inquired about maternal-infant sleep quality, maternal fatigue, cognitions about infant sleep, support, anger, and depressive symptoms. A subset of women completing the online survey participated in telephone interviews, with the goal of generating a theory about anger after childbirth. Phone interviews were transcribed and data were analyzed using grounded theory methods. Of the 278 women who completed the survey, 70% perceived their infant’s sleep as problematic. Regarding mood, 31% had high levels of anger and 26% had depressive symptoms above the cut-off score. Robust regression analysis revealed that parity (b = 1.93, p < .001), depression (b = .50, p = .008), and anger about infant sleep (b = .46, p < .001), predicted maternal postpartum anger. An interaction term between anger about infant sleep and infant age also predicted maternal anger (b = 0.13, p <.001). Eighteen mothers described their experiences of anger in their first two postpartum years. Mothers’ violated expectations, compromised needs, and being on edge contributed to feeling angry. Appropriate support from partners, family, and others, helped women manage their anger. Absent and inappropriate support prolonged maternal anger about violated expectations and compromised needs, particularly about infant sleep issues. Participants expressed or suppressed their anger with differing effects on support, relationships, and control. Anger in the postpartum period has negative effects for women and families; it can be comorbid with insomnia and depression symptoms. Clinician support around evidence-based strategies to promote maternal-infant sleep and family members’ support to help meet womens’ psychosocial and physical needs can reduce anger. Women require screening for anger and sleep problems after childbirth. Policy change required include structural support for women and families in the postnatal period.
Vanadium pentoxide (V2O5): a van der Waals density functional study

description: The past few years has brought renewed focus on the physics behind the class of materials characterized by long-range interactions and wide regions of low electron density, sparse matter. There is now much work on developing the appropriate algorithms and codes able to correctly describe this class of materials within a parameter-free quantum physical description. In particular, van der Waals (vdW) forces play a major role in building up material cohesion in sparse matter. This work presents an application to the vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) bulk structure of two versions of the vdW-DF method, a first-principles procedure for the inclusion of vdW interactions in the context of density functional theory (DFT). In addition to showing improvement compared to traditional semilocal calculations of DFT, we discuss the choice of various exchange functionals and point out issues that may arise when treating systems with large amounts of vacuum.

Spectrophotometric Redshifts. A New Approach to the Reduction of Noisy Spectra and its Application to GRB090423

description: We have developed a new method, close in philosophy to the photometric redshift technique, which can be applied to spectral data of very low signal-to-noise ratio. Using it we intend to measure redshifts while minimising the dangers posed by the usual extraction techniques. GRB afterglows have generally very simple optical spectra over which the separate effects of absorption and reddening in the GRB host, the intergalactic medium, and our own Galaxy are superimposed. We model all these effects over a series of template afterglow spectra to produce a set of clean spectra that reproduce what would reach our telescope. We also model carefully the effects of the telescope-spectrograph combination and the properties of noise in the data, which are then applied on the template spectra. The final templates are compared to the two-dimensional spectral data, and the basic parameters (redshift, spectral index, Hydrogen absorption column) are estimated using statistical tools. We show how our method works by applying it to our data of the NIR afterglow of GRB090423. At z ~ 8.2, this was the most distant object ever observed. We use the spectrum taken by our team with the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo to derive the GRB redshift and its intrinsic neutral Hydrogen column density. Our best fit yields z=8.4^+0.05/-0.03 and N(HI)<5x10^20 cm^-2, but with a highly non-Gaussian uncertainty including the redshift range z [6.7, 8.5] at the 2-sigma confidence level. Our method will be useful to maximise the recovered information from low-quality spectra, particularly when the set of possible spectra is limited or easily parameterisable while at the same time ensuring an adequate confidence analysis.

Light Cone Dynamics and EMC Effects in the Extraction of F_{2n} at Large Bjorken x

description: We discuss theoretical issues related to the extraction of deep inelastic~(DIS) structure function of neutron from inclusive DIS scattering off the deuteron at large Bjorken x. Theoretical justification is given to the consideration of only $pn$ component of the deuteron wave function and consistency with both the baryonic number and light-cone momentum conservation sum rules. Next we discuss the EMC type effects and argue that in all cases relevant to the nuclear DIS reactions at large x the main issue is the medium modification of the properties of bound nucleon rather than the non-nucleonic components like pions. We give brief description of the color screening model of EMC and within this model we estimate uncertainties in the extraction of the neutron DIS structure function at large x. We emphasize also that these uncertainties are rather "model independent" since any theoretical framework accounting for the medium modification is proportional to the magnitude of the virtuality of bound nucleon which increases with an increase of x.

description: The realization of spin-glass (S-G) state in Heusler alloys is very rare despite the presence of inherent structural and elemental disorder in those compounds. Although a few half and full Heusler alloys are known to exhibit S-G state, there is hardly any manifestation of the same in cases of quaternary Heusler compounds. Here we report the observation of S-G state in a highly disordered equiatomic quaternary Heusler compound: FeRuMnGa, where the S-G state is in between of canonical S-G and cluster glass. Different intricate features of S-G state including non-equilibrium magnetic dynamics at low temperature in the compound are unveiled through our comprehensive magnetic, heat capacity and neutron diffraction studies. The structural disorder in the sample is neither conventional \textit{A2}- nor \textit{B2}-type while those two types are commonly observed for Heusler compounds. The presence of disorder also plays a significant role in electron transport properties of the alloy, which is reflected in its exhibition of semi-metallic behavior and anomalous Hall effect at low temperature.

description: In this paper, the lightning protection of an overhead line of 500 kV is investigated using nonlinear surge arresters without an external spark gap. The nature of lightning overvoltage, current methods of lightning protection, the basics of theoretical calculation of lightning protection and reverse overlap were considered. With the help of the EMTP-RV software environment, the process of overlapping the linear insulation of the support was simulated when a lightning strikes the support and the current-carrying part of the power line. The author of this work analyzed the lightning protection of an overhead line of 500 kV both with the use of a linear surge arrester, and without it.
Barite Deposits of Kentucky

Year: 1982

description: Abstract:
Barite deposits are known to be present in 23 counties in Kentucky, principally in the Central Kentucky Mineral District and the Western Kentucky Fluorspar District. Field investigations and a literature search indicate the presence of barite at more than 170 outcrops, prospects, and abandoned mines.
Geologically, most of the Kentucky barite deposits are classified as vein or residual deposits. The vein deposits are cavity and breccia fills along faults and joints, commonly in limestone. Residual deposits occur in an unconsolidated clayey residuum formed by weathering of preexisting vein or breccia deposits. Most deposits are mixed ores commonly containing calcite, fluorite, galena, and sphalerite. Host rocks are almost exclusively formations of Ordovician and Mississippian ages.
Barite production in Kentucky has been small, and most has been from residual or "gravel'' deposits in weathered material above fault zones. Since barite is commonly associated with fluorspar and the two minerals have been difficult to separate in milling operations, mixed ores have been bypassed in a number of instances and little quantitative information is available on them. Further evaluation will require additional exploration, and, particularly, more core drilling. There were no active barite mines in Kentucky at the time of this investigation.

description: We consider in this paper a reaction-diffusion system in presence of a flow and under a KPP hypothesis. While the case of a single-equation has been extensively studied since the pioneering Kolmogorov-Petrovski-Piskunov paper, the study of the corresponding system with a Lewis number not equal to 1 is still quite open. Here, we will prove some results about the existence of travelling fronts and generalized travelling fronts solutions of such a system with the presence of a non-linear spacedependent loss term inside the domain. In particular, we will point out the existence of a minimal speed, above which any real value is an admissible speed. We will also give some spreading results for initial conditions decaying exponentially at infinity.

description: We introduce NeedATool (Needlet Analysis Tool), a software for data analysis based on needlets, a wavelet rendition which is powerful for the analysis of fields defined on a sphere. Needlets have been applied successfully to the treatment of astrophysical and cosmological observations, and in particular to the analysis of cosmic microwave background (CMB) data. Usually, such analyses are performed in real space as well as in its dual domain, the harmonic one. Both spaces have advantages and disadvantages: for example, in pixel space it is easier to deal with partial sky coverage and experimental noise; in harmonic domain, beam treatment and comparison with theoretical predictions are more effective. During the last decade, however, wavelets have emerged as a useful tool for CMB data analysis, since they allow to combine most of the advantages of the two spaces, one of the main reasons being their sharp localisation. In this paper, we outline the analytical properties of needlets and discuss the main features of the numerical code, which should be a valuable addition to the CMB analyst's toolbox.

description: Bose-Einstein condensation, the macroscopic accumulation of bosonic particles in the energetic ground state below a critical temperature, has been demonstrated in several physical systems. The perhaps best known example of a bosonic gas, blackbody radiation, however exhibits no Bose-Einstein condensation at low temperatures. Instead of collectively occupying the lowest energy mode, the photons disappear in the cavity walls when the temperature is lowered - corresponding to a vanishing chemical potential. Here we report on evidence for a thermalised two-dimensional photon gas with freely adjustable chemical potential. Our experiment is based on a dye filled optical microresonator, acting as a 'white-wall' box for photons. Thermalisation is achieved in a photon number-conserving way by photon scattering off the dye-molecules, and the cavity mirrors both provide an effective photon mass and a confining potential - key prerequisites for the Bose-Einstein condensation of photons. As a striking example for the unusual system properties, we demonstrate a yet unobserved light concentration effect into the centre of the confining potential, an effect with prospects for increasing the efficiency of diffuse solar light collection.

Modeling electric vehicle adoption in new multi-unit residential buildings in British Columbia
Creators: name: Yong, Melissa
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2021

description: British Columbia’s (BC) transportation sector is the second largest contributor to the provinces’ GHG emissions. A transition towards a more electrified transportation sector could potentially see reductions in GHG emissions and reliance on fossil fuels. BC’s clean energy sources also adds to the benefits of widespread EV usage. However, potential EV owners in BC are faced with various barriers to EV ownership. Inadequate and inconvenient access to charging points at a vehicle owner’s home is one of the main barriers to EV ownership. This barrier is usually encountered by EV owners living in existing multi-unit residential buildings (MURBs). The lack of charging points is attributed to high retrofit costs when installing charging points in existing buildings. Recognizing this challenge, the City of Vancouver’s (COV) recent policy requires all new multi-unit residential buildings be 100% electric vehicle ready. All parking stalls for residents of new MURBs must now be equipped with an energized charging outlet. This research aims to assess and evaluate the impact of COV’s 100% electric vehicle ready policy on electric vehicle adoption by residents of new MURBs. This research adopted a system dynamics methodology to construct qualitative and quantitative models of elements in the system that influences electric vehicle adoption in new MURBs. System elements and their interrelations are first conceptually represented in a causal loop diagram. Three key leverage points influencing EV adoption were identified from this model: policies, market size and vehicle purchase price. Next, a stock and flow diagram is constructed incorporating these leverage points to enable a quantitative and temporal analysis of the system’s output and behaviour. Using the stock and flow diagram in the scenario analysis, an exploration of the system’s behaviour was analyzed over a period of 30 years. Six scenarios were designed by varying the values of key leverage points. Results from the scenario analysis indicate that an EV’s purchase price had the most influence on EV purchases. The contribution of this research is the development of models that provide quantitative insight on possible future uptake of EVs by residents of new MURBs under different conditions.

Relationships between humus profiles and C cycling, first results from a Mediterranean pine forest

Year: 2019
Subjects: humus profile; soil; GHG; organic Carbon; methane

description: Pine species used for land restoration in the Mediterranean basin since the late 19th century are nowadays showing symptoms of degradation. Forest degradation may reduce the forest potential to act as a C sink, or even increase the C losses through greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Microbial processes strongly affect SOM decomposition and therefore C fluxes. Since the first and most important modifications of microbial processes occur within humus profiles, humus characteristics and structure might affect microbial processes and GHG emissions. The study was carried out to relate C cycling in a degraded pine forest with the morphology and characteristics of the humus profiles.

The study area was located near Florence (Central Italy) in a reforest area planted with Black pine, Brutia pine, and Cypress. In spring 2016, 9 humus profiles were described, sampled and classified, and CO2 and CH4 fluxeswere measured. Humus profiles were analyzed for bulk density, particle size, N, C, lime content and pH. Bio macroaggregates of the first mineral horizon were separated by moist sieving in three size classes ( <1 mm, 1-4 mm, >4 mm) for the humus classification. Statistical relationships were checked by a Spearman test.

Eumacroamphi was the main humus form, while Dysmull and Pachiamphi were less frequent. There were significant correlations between CH4 fluxes and both the thickness of the transition from organic to inorganic horizons, and the percentage of aggregates in different size classes. CO2 emission did not provide significant correlations with humus features. These first results suggest that the activity of methanotrophic bacteria responsible for CH4 uptake might be lower where the thickness of the transition between the organic and mineral horizons is larger.

description: In 1982 – 2015, environmental impacts of commercial forestry practices were studied in the Jizerka experimental catchment (the Jizera Mountains, Czech Republic). Skidding the timber by wheelled tractors caused 10.3 km-1 of skid trails and the drainage density increased from 1.45 to 7.55 km-1. On the harvested runoff plots, not affected by skid trails, the loss of soil 0.007 - 0.014 mm year-1 was comparable with undisturbed forests. But, the eroded soil in skid trails reached 6.17 mm (61.73 m3 ha-1) by harvesting 23,882 m3 of timber (i.e. 0.25 m3 per 1 m3 of harvested timber). At the catchment outlet, sediment yield reached 25% of the soil eroded. Natural regeneration of erosion rills was supported particularly by the development of herbaceous vegetation. In 2003, twelve years after the logging, only 1.5 km (15 %) of active deeper rillswere still identified.

Thermoelectric efficiency at maximum power in low-dimensional systems

description: Low-dimensional electronic systems in thermoelectrics have the potential to achieve high thermal-to-electric energy conversion efficiency. A key measure of performance is the efficiency when the device is operated under maximum power conditions. Here we study the efficiency at maximum power of three low-dimensional, thermoelectric systems: a zero-dimensional quantum dot (QD) with a Lorentzian transmission resonance of finite width, a one-dimensional (1D) ballistic conductor, and a thermionic (TI) power generator formed by a two-dimensional energy barrier. In all three systems, the efficiency at maximum power is independent of temperature, and in each case a careful tuning of relevant energies is required to achieve maximal performance. We find that quantum dots perform relatively poorly under maximum power conditions, with relatively low efficiency and small power throughput. Ideal one-dimensional conductors offer the highest efficiency at maximum power (36% of the Carnot efficiency). Whether 1D or TI systems achieve the larger maximum power output depends on temperature and area filling factor. These results are also discussed in the context of the traditional figure of merit $ZT$.

description: PET is a functional imaging technique based on detection of annihilation photons following beta decay producing positrons. In this paper, we present the concept of a new PET system for preclinical applications consisting of a ring of twelve time projection chambers filled with liquid xenon viewed by avalanche photodiodes. Simultaneous measurement of ionization charge and scintillation light leads to a significant improvement to spatial resolution, image quality, and sensitivity. Simulated performance shows that an energy resolution of <10% (FWHM) and a sensitivity of 15% are achievable. First tests with a prototype TPC indicate position resolution <1 mm (FWHM).

description: The 'expected utility hypothesis' is one of the foundations of classical approaches to economics and decision theory and Savage's 'Sure-Thing Principle' is a fundamental element of it. It has been put forward that real-life situations exist, illustrated by the 'Allais' and 'Ellsberg paradoxes', in which the Sure-Thing Principle is violated, and where also the expected utility hypothesis does not hold. We have recently presented strong arguments for the presence of a double layer structure, a 'classical logical' and a 'quantum conceptual', in human thought and that the quantum conceptual mode is responsible of the above violation. We consider in this paper the Ellsberg paradox, perform an experiment with real test subjects on the situation considered by Ellsberg, and use the collected data to elaborate a model for the conceptual landscape surrounding the decision situation of the paradox. We show that it is the conceptual landscape which gives rise to a violation of the Sure-Thing Principle and leads to the paradoxical situation discovered by Ellsberg.

description: The reconstitution is a pedotecnique producing environmental proper and fertile Technosols, applying chemical-mechanical treatment to alluvial sediments, degraded soils and pedomaterials included waste by different productive processes. By means of reconstitution, the environmental restoration of the covering degraded soil of a closed landfill near Piacenza is made (LIFE10 ENV/IT/000400 NEW LIFE). In order to assess this environmental restoration, LCC and FCC are calculated on 5 soil samples before and after reconstitution. The results, which highlight the transition from worst to best LCC and FCC classes show how reconstitution was able to convert the environmental and agronomic conditions from soil have very severe limitations that restrict the choice of plants or require very careful management, and that limit or restrict its use mainly to pasture, range, forestland, or wildlife food and cover, to soil have moderate limitations that restrict the choice of plants or that require moderate conservation practices or have optimum fertility.

description: We consider possible violations of the equivalence principle through the exchange of a light `dilaton-like' scalar field. Using recent work on the quark-mass dependence of nuclear binding, we find that the dilaton-quark-mass coupling induces significant equivalence-principle-violating effects varying like the inverse cubic root of the atomic number - A^{-1/3}. We provide a general parameterization of the scalar couplings, but argue that two parameters are likely to dominate the equivalence-principle phenomenology. We indicate the implications of this framework for comparing the sensitivities of current and planned experimental tests of the equivalence principle.

description: The inclination of galaxies induces both reddening and extinction to their observed spectral energy distribution, which in turn impact the derived properties of the galaxies. Here we report a significant dependence of the error in photometric redshift (photo-z) on the inclination of disk galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. The bias in the photo-z based on the template-fitting approach increases from -0.015 in face-on to 0.021 in edge-on galaxies. A Principal Component Analysis on the full sample of photometry reveals the inclination of the galaxies to be represented by the 2nd mode. The corresponding eigenspectrum resembles an extinction curve. The isolation of the inclination effect in a low-order mode demonstrates the significant reddening induced on the observed colors, leading to the over-estimated photo-z in galaxies of high inclinations. We present approaches to correct the photo-z and the other properties of the disk galaxies against the inclination effect.

description: Light scalar particles with couplings of sub-gravitational strength, which can generically be called 'dilatons', can produce violations of the equivalence principle. However, in order to understand experimental sensitivities one must know the coupling of these scalars to atomic systems. We report here on a study of the required couplings. We give a general Lagrangian with five independent dilaton parameters and calculate the "dilaton charge" of atomic systems for each of these. Two combinations are particularly important. One is due to the variations in the nuclear binding energy, with a sensitivity scaling with the atomic number as $A^{-1/3}$. The other is due to electromagnetism. We compare limits on the dilaton parameters from existing experiments.

Urban soils and human health

description: Since the dawn of civilization, the anthropic activity has lead to a legacy of increased land degradation/contamination. Potentially harmful elements (PHEs) are among the most effective environmental contaminants, and their release into the environment is increasing since the last decades. Interest in trace elements has risen as major scientific topic over the last 50 years, when it was realized that some elements were essential to human health (e.g. Fe,Cu,Zn), whereas some others were toxic (e.g. As,Hg,Pb), and likely responsible for serious human diseases and lethal consequences. Since that time, great progresses in knowledge of links between environmental geochemistry and human health have been achieved. The urban environment (nowadays the main habitat for human population) is a potential PHEs source, with high risk for residents’health. Indeed, PHEs concentration and distribution are related to traffic intensity, distance from roads, local topography and heating. Industrial emissions also contribute to the release of toxic elements. Understanding the extent, distribution and fate of PHEs in urban environment is therefore imperative in order to address the sustainable management of urban soils and gardens in relation to human health.

Despite the copious research addressed to this topic, the effects of most trace metals on human health are not yet fully understood. Uncertainty is still prevailing, particularly with non-essential elements that are “suspected” to be harmful to humans, causing serious health problems as intoxication, neurological disturbances and also cancer. Some of them (e.g. As,Cd,Hg,Pb) have attracted most attention worldwide, due to their toxicity towards living organisms. Other elements (Al,B,Be,Bi,Co, Cr,Mn,Mo,Ni,Sb,Sn,Tl,V,W) are likely harmful, but may play some beneficial functions not yet well known, and should be more investigated.
