Near infrared spectroscopy of M dwarfs. III. Carbon and oxygen abundances in late M dwarfs including the dusty rapid rotator 2MASSI J1835379+325954

description: Carbon and oxygen abundances of eight late M dwarfs are determined based on the near IR spectra of medium resolution. Seven objects with T_eff above 2600K are analyzed with the dust-free models. The M8.5 dwarf 2MASSI J1835379+325954 whose T_eff is 2275K is analyzed by the dusty model, in which the surface temperature is higher by about 600K due to the blanketing effect of the dust, and C and O abundances are higher by 0.25 and 0.15dex, respectively, compared to the analysis by the dust-free model. Once dust forms in the photosphere, the dust works as a kind of thermostat and temperatures of the surface layers remain nearly the same as the condensation temperatures of the dust grains. For this reason, the temperatures of the surface layers of the dusty dwarfs are not sensitive to the fundamental parameters including T_eff. Also, 2MASS J1835379 +325954 is a rapid rotator, for which its EWs are thought to remain unchanged by the rotational broadening. This is, however, true only when the true continuum is well defined. Otherwise, the pseudo-continuum level depends on the rotational velocity and hence the EWs as well. For this reason, the derived abundances depend on the rotational velocity assumed: For the values of V_rot*sin(i)=37.6 and 44.0km/s available in the literature, the derived C and O abundances differ by 0.23 and 0.14dex, respectively, and we find that the higher value provides a better account of the observed spectrum. The resulting C and O abundances in our late M dwarfs show no systematic difference from our results for the early and middle M dwarfs, and confirm the higher O/C ratio at the lower metallicity. In late M dwarfs, CO and H2O remain as excellent abundance indicators of C and O, respectively, except for additional uncertainty due to the complexity associated with the dust formation in the latest M dwarfs.

CLEWs-Based Power Sector Scenarios for Lowering CO2eq Emissions in Brazil
Creators: name: Covre, Talita
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: This presentation shows the implications of adopting an integrated systems approach for power technology transitions in Brazil, focusing on climate, land, energy, and water systems. Through modelling exercises utilising the CLEWs framework and OSeMOSYS tool, three scenarios - Baseline, Balance, and Renew - were developed to assess their impact on emissions, land and water demand.

Findings reveal that while the Renew scenario, driven by renewable energy sources, achieves the lowest emissions rates and water demand, it also exhibits the highest land use associated with biofuel production. The study emphasises the importance of considering water and land demand as costs comparable to CO2 emissions in assessing the cost perspective of power technology transitions.

Recommendations include integrating water and land management policies into energy planning, prioritising investments in renewable energy sources with lower water and land footprints and exploring the potential of different technologies to meet energy and climate demands while minimising carbon emissions and environmental impacts.

description: In the context of producing spin-polarised particle beams for nuclear fusion, a Sona Unit,a magnetic field configuration allowing the inversion of spins, is used. In this thesis, thebehaviour of spins in magnetic fields was studied. First, magnetic-field simulations of thecurrently used setup were done and optimised for linearity of gradient, radial homogeneityand shape. Then, this magnetic-field configuration was analysed and its properties evaluatedand ensured that it fulfills the aforementioned requirements. Furthermore, a new magneticfieldsetup modelled after a EM-wave was proposed, simulated and analysed. After that,the Hamiltonian of the system was derived in a new, improved and simpler cartesian formalism.Then, Schrödinger’s equation was solved numerically with time-discretisation and aninterpolation algorithm streamlined for similar problems. After solving Schrödinger’s equationfor several field-strengths of both setups, the time-evolution and current dependenceof the occupation numbers were discussed thoroughly and interpreted in the context of theexperiment.

description: This study elucidates the impact of fluctuating influent conditions and in situ ultrasonic wave exposure on the stability of aerobic granular sludge (AGS) in the treatment of simulated wastewater emanating from rare earth mining operations. During a stable influent period spanning from Day 1 to Day 95, the seed granules underwent an initial disintegration followed by a re-granulation phase. The secondary granulation was achieved on Day 80 and Day 40 for the ultrasonic reactor (R1) and the control reactor (R2), respectively. Notably, granules formed in R1 exhibited a more porous structure compared to those generated in R2. Subsequently, when the ammonia nitrogen in the influent oscillated between 100 and 500 mg/L during Days 96-140, both reactors yielded compact and densely structured granules. Nitrogen removal profiles were comparable between the two reactors: the removal efficiencies for ammonia nitrogen and total inorganic nitrogen escalated from 95% and 80%, respectively, during Days 1-95, to 95% and 90%, respectively, post-Day 140. A suite of performance metrics indicated that steady-state granules from R1 outperformed those from R2 across several parameters. Specifically, the nitrification/denitrification rates, and relative abundance of denitrifying bacteria were all higher in granules from R1. Conversely, the relative abundance of nitrifying bacteria was comparable between granules from both reactors. However, R1 granules demonstrated lower sludge concentration and smaller average particle size than their R2 counterparts. In conclusion, the AGS system demonstrated robust resilience to fluctuating ammonia nitrogen, and the application of ultrasonic waves significantly enhanced granular activity while achieving in situ sludge reduction.
Wettability stabilizes fluid invasion into porous media via nonlocal, cooperative pore filling

description: We study the impact of the wetting properties on the immiscible displacement of a viscous fluid in disordered porous media. We present a novel pore-scale model that captures wettability and dynamic effects, including the spatiotemporal nonlocality associated with interface readjustments. Our simulations show that increasing the wettability of the invading fluid (the contact angle) promotes cooperative pore filling that stabilizes the invasion, and that this effect is suppressed as the flow rate increases, due to viscous instabilities. We use scaling analysis to derive two dimensionless numbers that predict the mode of displacement. By elucidating the underlying mechanisms, we explain classical yet intriguing experimental observations. These insights could be used to improve technologies such as hydraulic fracturing, CO$_{2}$ geo-sequestration, and microfluidics.

description: Consistent interactions that can be added to a free, Abelian gauge theory comprising a BF model and a finite set of massless real scalar fields are constructed from the deformation of the solution to the master equation based on specific cohomological techniques. Under the hypotheses of analyticity in the coupling constant, Lorentz covariance, spacetime locality, Poincare invariance, supplemented with the requirement on the preservation of the number of derivatives on each field with respect to the free theory, we obtain that the deformation procedure leads to two classes of gauge-invariant interacting theories with a mass term for the BF vector field $A_{μ}$ with U(1) gauge invariance. In order to derive this result we have not used the Higgs mechanism based on spontaneous symmetry breaking.

description: Methylene blue (MB) is a prevalent pollutant in organic wastewater. For this research, eucalyptus wood was used as a template, into which quartz powder dissolved in NaOH was grown, resulting in a low-cost and efficient porous silica adsorbent material (PSAM). This PSAM successfully replaces expensive materials for MB removal from water. Through the application of Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) analysis, it became evident that PSAM displays a porous slit pore structure characterized by numerous active sites, leading to an impressive maximum specific surface area of 88.05 m²/g. The central objective of this research was to investigate the impact of experimental temperature, initial dye concentration, and pH on the adsorption process. The adsorption kinetics were analyzed using the pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order models, as well as the Langmuir model. Remarkably, PSAM exhibited a substantial maximum adsorption capacity of 90.01 mg/g at 293 K, achieving an adsorption rate of over 85% within a mere 10-minute timeframe. The thermodynamic analysis revealed that the adsorption of MB onto PSAM was characterized by spontaneity and accompanied by heat absorption. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and SEM comparisons of PSAM before and after adsorption indicated that MB adsorption primarily occurred through electrostatic gravitational binding. In comparison to other adsorbents, PSAM exhibited exceptional efficacy in removing MB from water.

This experiment uses collective nouns that are polysemous in order to test whether the singular or plural form is preferred when referring to the collective noun. It also aims to test whether increasing the distance between the target (demonstrative or verb) affects ratings. For demonstrative-verb agreement, this experiment aims to test whether the singular or plural form ('This/these') is favoured in English when referring to collective nouns (e.g. crowd, congregation etc.). For subject-verb agreement, this experiment aims to test whether the singular or plural form ('was/were') is favoured in English when referring to collective nouns. Experimental filler words are added in the 'long' conditions, aiming to test whether demonstratives (semantic memory) or verbs (syntatic) are affected by the increased distance between the targets.

description: In this paper we introduce a novel notion of separation surfaces for image decomposition. A surface is embedded in the spectral total-variation (TV) three dimensional domain and encodes a spatially-varying separation scale. The method allows good separation of textures with gradually varying pattern-size, pattern-contrast or illumination. The recently proposed total variation spectral framework is used to decompose the image into a continuum of textural scales. A desired texture, within a scale range, is found by fitting a surface to the local maximal responses in the spectral domain. A band above and below the surface, referred to as the \textit{Texture Stratum}, defines for each pixel the adaptive scale-range of the texture. Based on the decomposition an application is proposed which can attenuate or enhance textures in the image in a very natural and visually convincing manner.

description: The gas injection system, referred to as the System for Measuring Overlap With Gas(SMOG2), used in the Large Hadron Collider beauty (LHCb) experiment at CERN,employs storage cells to provide gas targets for collision experiments. In the next stageof development, the LHCSpin project aims to establish a polarized atomic hydrogen gastarget through the utilization of an amorphous carbon-coated storage cell.At the Nuclear Physics Institute of the Jülich research center, an atomic beam sourcecapable of generating a polarized atomic hydrogen beam was available, along with aLamb-shift polarimeter capable of measuring the nuclear polarization of hydrogen atomsand molecules. These resources facilitated an in-depth exploration of the propertiesof such a storage cell, with a specific focus on assessing the recombination rate ofpolarized atoms and the polarization preservation on carbon surfaces. Additionally, anovel beam chopper design was introduced to investigate the impact of the Lyman-αradiation induced desorption recombination process.Results of mass spectrometry measurements, conducted using a Wien filter in combinationwith a Faraday cup, confirmed the absence of a dominant superficial water layer andrevealed the beam chopper’s limitations in effectively reducing atomic beam and photonintensity. Utilizing transition units alongside a spin filter, polarization measurementsfor atomic hydrogen showed a recombination rate ranging from 95.8% to 100% and amaximum vector polarization of −0.606 ± 0.002. In the case of molecular hydrogen,measurements indicated a maximum polarization of −0.54±0.01. The observed characteristicsalign with fit parameters derived from a mathematical model describing the lossof polarization due to surface interactions.These findings emphasize the feasibility of employing carbon-coated storage cells aswater-repellent, polarized molecular gas targets in accelerator experiments. Leveragingthe high-energy ion beam delivered by the Large Hadron Collider creates possibilitiesfor conducting spin physics experiments that were previously beyond reach.
The party in disservice: an ethnographic look at the Walter Dalton for North Carolina Governor campaign's relationship with the Democratic Party

description: This study investigates the ways in which the Walter Dalton campaign interacted with the Democratic Party during the 2012 North Carolina gubernatorial election. The evidence gathered through field observations, limited participant-observation, and open-ended interviews reveals the candidate-party relationship to be quite complex. I provide an analysis of the relations between the Dalton campaign and the various actors within the Democratic Party, and the effects of these interactions on diverse areas of campaign communication. I contend that the contemporary party-candidate relationship is more nuanced than Aldrich (1995) suggests in his approach to the study of parties in American politics, specifically his notion of the role of parties as being in service to candidates.

description: We present a study of spectral properties of galaxies in underdense large-scale structures, voids. Our void galaxy sample (75,939 galaxies) is selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 7 (DR7) with $\rm z < 0.107$. We find that there are no significant differences in the luminosities, stellar masses, stellar populations, and specific star formation rates between void galaxies of specific spectral types and their wall counterparts. However, the fraction of star-forming galaxies in voids is significantly higher ($\ge 9\%$) than that in walls. Void galaxies, when considering all spectral types, are slightly fainter, less massive, have younger stellar populations and of higher specific star formation rates than wall galaxies. These minor differences are totally caused by the higher fraction of star-forming galaxies in voids. We confirm that AGNs exist in voids, already found by \cite{co08}, with similar abundance as in walls. Type I AGNs contribute $\sim$ 1\%-2\% of void galaxies, similar to their fraction in walls. The intrinsic [O III] luminosities , spanning over $10^6\ L_{\sun} \sim 10^9\ L_{\sun}$, and Eddington ratios are similar comparing our void AGNs versus wall AGNs. Small scale statistics show that all spectral types of void galaxies are less clustered than their counterparts in walls. Major merger may not be the dominant trigger of black hole accretion in the luminosity range we probe. Our study implies that the growth of black holes relies weakly on large scale structures.

description: In order to understand how molecular clouds form in the Galactic interstellar medium, we would like to be able to map the structure and kinematics of the gas flows responsible for forming them. However, doing so is observationally challenging. CO, the workhorse molecule for studies of molecular clouds, traces only relatively dense gas and hence only allows us to study those portions of the clouds that have already assembled. Numerical simulations suggest that the inflowing gas that forms these clouds is largely composed of CO-dark H2. These same simulations allow us to explore the usefulness of different tracers of this CO-dark molecular material, and we use them here to show that the [CII] fine structure line is potentially a very powerful tracer of this gas and should be readily detectable using modern instrumentation.

description: With the increasing shortage of land resources and the aggravation of soil pollution in mining areas, the remediation of soil in abandoned mining areas has gradually attracted people's attention. The remediation of heavy metal contaminated soil in mining areas is the key to reduce the harm of heavy metals to the environment and human health. In this study, municipal sludge and phytoremediation technology were combined to investigate the migration and transformation of heavy metals at the soil-plant interface in improved mining areas through indoor pot experiments. The results showed that heavy metals in non-rhizosphere soil entered the rhizosphere environment with the growth of plants, leading to the increase of heavy metal content in rhizosphere soil. The cumulative amounts of Cu, Zn, Pb and Cd were 1299.32, 832.10, 347.89 and 71.34 mg/kg, respectively. The content of oxidized Cu and Zn decreased with increasing planting days, while the oxidized Pb and Cd showed an increasing trend. Under acidic conditions, H+ is easy to compete with heavy metal ions for exchangeable positions in the clay mineral layer, so that the reducible heavy metals are easy to be converted into exchangeable states. In this paper, the effects of various factors on the distribution of heavy metals were discussed by adjusting soil pH, adding humic acid and root exudates, so as to analyse the migration and transformation mechanism of heavy metals at the soil-plant interface, and provide a reliable theoretical basis for soil remediation in mining areas.

description: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a pressing global health crisis, which has been fuelled by the sustained use of certain classes of antimicrobials, including fluoroquinolones. While the genetic mutations responsible for decreased fluoroquinolone (ciprofloxacin) susceptibility are known, the implications of ciprofloxacin exposure on bacterial growth, survival, and interactions with host cells are not well described. Aiming to understand the influence of inhibitory concentrations of ciprofloxacin in vitro, we subjected three clinical isolates of S. Typhimurium to differing concentrations of ciprofloxacin, dependent on their minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC), and assessed the impact on bacterial growth, morphology, and transcription. We further investigated the differential morphology and transcription that occurred following ciprofloxacin exposure and measured the ability of ciprofloxacin-treated bacteria to invade and replicate in host cells. We found that ciprofloxacin-exposed S. Typhimurium are able to recover from inhibitory concentrations of ciprofloxacin, and that the drug induces specific morphological and transcriptional signatures associated with the bacterial SOS response, DNA repair, and intracellular survival. In addition, ciprofloxacin-treated S. Typhimurium have increased capacity for intracellular replication in comparison to untreated organisms. These data suggest that S. Typhimurium undergoes an adaptive response under ciprofloxacin perturbation that promotes cellular survival, a consequence that may justify more measured use of ciprofloxacin for Salmonella infections. The combination of multiple experimental approaches provides new insights into the collateral effects that ciprofloxacin and other antimicrobials have on invasive bacterial pathogens.

description: Sewage sludge requires effective dewatering and high nutrients retention before disposal for agricultural application. Pressurized electro-osmotic dewatering (PEOD) process with low energy consumption can effectively remove water from sludge, but the influences of PEOD process on nutrients for agricultural application still lacks in-depth research. In this study, the influences of PEOD process on nutrients for agricultural application were investigated, including organic matter, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and silicon contents. Layered experiments were conducted to investigate the layered variation of nutrients in sludge and to understand the potential change mechanisms. The experimental results showed that PEOD process caused small losses (<10%) of organic matter and total phosphorus (TP) in sludge, but caused 11.2−18.4% loss of total nitrogen (TN). PEOD process also caused 18.6−27.0% loss of total potassium (TK) and over 80% loss of available potassium in sludge, and could weaken the potential salt damage during the agricultural application of sludge. Furthermore, the available phosphorus content of sludge in the anode area increased significantly after the PEOD process, indicating that PEOD process could enhance the phosphorus bioavailability of sludge in the anode area. Besides, PEOD process caused a slight loss of silicon components in sludge, but improved the long-term silicon dissolution and release ability of sludge. This work could expand the knowledge about the influences of PEOD process on sludge nutrients and provide scientific guidance for the agricultural application of PEOD sludge.

description: We improve our filament automated detection method which was proposed in our previous works. It is then applied to process the full disk H$α$ data mainly obtained by Big Bear Solar Observatory (BBSO) from 1988 to 2013, spanning nearly 3 solar cycles. The butterfly diagrams of the filaments, showing the information of the filament area, spine length, tilt angle, and the barb number, are obtained. The variations of these features with the calendar year and the latitude band are analyzed. The drift velocities of the filaments in different latitude bands are calculated and studied. We also investigate the north-south (N-S) asymmetries of the filament numbers in total and in each subclass classified according to the filament area, spine length, and tilt angle. The latitudinal distribution of the filament number is found to be bimodal. About 80% of all the filaments have tilt angles within [0°, 60°]. For the filaments within latitudes lower (higher) than 50° the northeast (northwest) direction is dominant in the northern hemisphere and the southeast (southwest) direction is dominant in the southern hemisphere. The latitudinal migrations of the filaments experience three stages with declining drift velocities in each of solar cycles 22 and 23, and it seems that the drift velocity is faster in shorter solar cycles. Most filaments in latitudes lower (higher) than 50° migrate toward the equator (polar region). The N-S asymmetry indices indicate that the southern hemisphere is the dominant hemisphere in solar cycle 22 and the northern hemisphere is the dominant one in solar cycle 23.

Employer preferences during the passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2012

description: The changes to the U.S. health care system brought about during the Obama Administration are both the most extensive and most controversial the country has seen in many decades. Employers are traditionally opponents to expansionary government policies. To develop why Obama reforms passed, I compare the Obama and Clinton attempts and discuss factors affecting businesses that may have shifted. The goal of this thesis is to investigate the interests and preferences of employers both large and small and analyze whether they were indeed antagonistic toward the health care reforms. I argue that there are both economic and political organizational reasons for employer preferences that differ based on size. This thesis finds employer responses were antagonistic and that generally the profit motive took precedent over prospective long-term social equality advances.

description: Nitrate leaching from farmland pollutes the surrounding environment, such as groundwater, causing health hazards to inhabitants. To mitigate the leaching, biochar can be applied. The effect of biochar application differs depending on the application depth; however, the effect of the application depth remains unclear. To evaluate the effect, we conducted a pipe experiment with no plant using bagasse biochar with four treatments: no biochar application, surface application (0−5 cm), plow layer application (0−30 cm), and subsurface application (25−30 cm). The results showed that surface and plow layer applications reduced nitrate leaching, whereas subsurface application did not affect leaching. This difference was due to changes in the soil water movement and water budget. Surface application reduced evaporation, inducing increases in both drainage and the amount of water in the pipe. The increased amount of water might contribute to an increase in the amount of nitrogen in the pipe, reducing the leaching. Plow layer application increased evaporation, leading to decreased drainage and nitrate leaching. Subsurface application did not affect drainage and nitrate leaching; however, the change in the volumetric water content at a depth of 10 cm was the most significant among the treatments. Our study indicated that, although the same amount of biochar was applied, the effect of biochar application differs depending on the application depth.
On the self-sustained nature of large-scale motions in turbulent Couette flow

description: Large-scale motions in wall-bounded turbulent flows are frequently interpreted as resulting from an aggregation process of smaller-scale structures. Here, we explore the alternative possibility that such large-scale motions are themselves self-sustained and do not draw their energy from smaller-scale turbulent motions activated in buffer layers. To this end, it is first shown that large-scale motions in turbulent Couette flow at Re=2150 self-sustain even when active processes at smaller scales are artificially quenched by increasing the Smagorinsky constant Cs in large eddy simulations. These results are in agreement with earlier results on pressure driven turbulent channels. We further investigate the nature of the large-scale coherent motions by computing upper and lower-branch nonlinear steady solutions of the filtered (LES) equations with a Newton-Krylov solver,and find that they are connected by a saddle-node bifurcation at large values of Cs. Upper branch solutions for the filtered large scale motions are computed for Reynolds numbers up to Re=2187 using specific paths in the Re-Cs parameter plane and compared to large-scale coherent motions. Continuation to Cs = 0 reveals that these large-scale steady solutions of the filtered equations are connected to the Nagata-Clever-Busse-Waleffe branch of steady solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations. In contrast, we find it impossible to connect the latter to buffer layer motions through a continuation to higher Reynolds numbers in minimal flow units.
