description: The GSC-II white dwarf survey was designed to identify faint and high proper motion objects, which we used to define a new and independent sample of cool white dwarfs. With this survey we aim to derive new constraints on the halo white dwarf space density. Also, these data can provide information on the age of thick disk and halo through the analysis of the luminosity function. On the basis of astrometric and photometric parameters, we selected candidates with mu > 0.28 as/yr and R_F > 16 in an area of 1150 square degrees. Then, we separated white dwarfs from late type dwarfs and subdwarfs by means of the reduced proper motion diagram. Finally, spectroscopic follow-up observations were carried out to confirm the white dwarf nature of the selected candidates. We found 41 white dwarfs of which 24 are new discoveries. Here we present the full sample and for each object provide positions, absolute proper motions, photometry, and spectroscopy.

The causes of the Manchurian Incident : subtitle a non-Marxist interpretation
Creators: name: Kitamura, Jun
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: si tu veux la paix, connais la guerre History repeats itself and war invariably brings tragedy to the world. In contemporary society where powerful weapons are developed one after another and world peace is a matter of ongoing concern, it is important for sociologists to carry out thorough investigation of the causes of war in order to help prevent future armed conflicts. I selected the Manchurian Incident as a subject of my investigation of the causes of war because there is some doubt as to the existing explanation of its causes. After the end of World War II, the economic determinist explanation--that the nature of capitalism caused this imperialistic aggressive war--has predominated in Japanese academic circles. The economic determinists deduce the causes of war from the consequences of war and also disregard military factors, in particular the motives of actors. Consequently, their anti-Weberian explanations are not considered to be accounts of war as such. I believe that war should be understood, not from a socioeconomic viewpoint alone, but also from a military viewpoint. Thus, I constructed my own approach as suggested by Qausewitz's theory of war. My starting point follows Qausewitz in asserting that no one starts a war without a war plan in which the objectives of the war must be clear. I then reconstruct the war plans for the Manchurian Incident through examining the primary sources. I infer the motives of the actors from the war plans, and thereby determine the central causes of the war. My analysis reveals that an important feature of the Manchurian Incident was an ongoing ideological battle between commercial pacifism and militaristic realism. In addition, my study shows that the Tokyo leaders thoroughly opposed the war in order to protect Japanese capitalist interests; but the Kanto Army's leaders decided to go to war exclusively for Japan's national defense. The Manchurian Incident suggests, therefore, that the expansion of capitalist interests does not always precipitate war; rather, ideological factors can be central in making war; in this case, the military defense ideology of Japan.
Probing the Physics of Mechanical AGN Feedback with Radial Elongations of X-ray Cavities

description: Mechanical active galactic nucleus (AGN) feedback plays a key role in massive galaxies, galaxy groups and clusters. However, the energy content of AGN jets that mediate this feedback process is still far from clear. Here we present a preliminary study of radial elongations $τ$ of a large sample of X-ray cavities, which are apparently produced by mechanical AGN feedback. All the cavities in our sample are elongated along the angular (type-I) or jet directions (type-II), or nearly circular (type-III). The observed value of $τ$ roughly decreases as the cavities rise buoyantly, confirming the same trend found in hydrodynamic simulations. For young cavities, both type-I and II cavities exist, and the latter dominates. Assuming a spheroidal cavity shape, we derive an analytical relation between the intrinsic radial elongation $\barτ$ and the inclination-angle-dependent value of $τ$, showing that projection effect makes cavities appear more circular, but does not change type-I cavities into type-II ones, or vice versa. We summarize radial elongations of young cavities in simulations, finding that $\barτ$ increases with the kinetic fraction of AGN jets. While mild jets always produce type-II cavities, thermal-energy-dominated strong jets produce type-I cavities, and kinetic-energy-dominated strong jets produce type-II cavities. Our results suggest that some AGN jets are strong and dominated by thermal energy (or cosmic rays). However, these jets do not dominate in AGN feedback. If most jets are dominated by non-kinetic energies, they should be mainly mild jets. If most jets are strong, they must be mainly dominated by the kinetic energy.

description: The farm level economic impacts of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 on representative crop and livestock operations are projected in this report. The analysis was conducted over the 2001-2008 planning horizon using FLIPSIM, AFPC’s whole farm simulation model. Data to simulate farming and ranching operations in the nation’s major production regions came from two sources: - Producer panel cooperation to develop economic information to describe and simulate representative crop, livestock, and dairy farms. - Projected prices, policy variables, and input inflation rates from the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI) January 2004 Baseline. The primary objective of the analysis is to determine the farms’ economic viability by region and commodity through the life of the 2002 Farm Bill. The FLIPSIM policy simulation model incorporates the historical risk faced by farmers and ranchers for prices and production. This report presents the results of the January 2004 Baseline in a risk context using selected simulated probabilities and ranges for annual net cash farm income values. The probability of a farm experiencing annual cash flow deficits and the probability of a farm losing real net worth are included as indicators of the cash flow and equity risks facing farms through the year 2008. This report is organized into ten sections. The first section summarizes the process used to develop the representative farms and the key assumptions utilized for the farm level analysis. The second section summarizes the FAPRI January 2004 Baseline and the policy and price assumptions used for the representative farm analyses. The third through sixth sections present the results of the simulation analyses for feed grain, wheat, cotton, and rice farms. The seventh through ninth sections summarize simulation results for dairy, cattle and hog farms. Two appendices constitute the final section of the report. Appendix A provides tables to summarize the physical and financial characteristics for each of the representative farms. Appendix B provides the names of producers, land grant faculty, and industry leaders who cooperated in the panel interview process to develop the representative farms.
Pulse Profile Change Possibly Associated with a Glitch in an Anomalous X-Ray Pulsar 4U 0142+61

description: We report a glitch-like pulse frequency deviation from the simple spin-down law in an anomalous X-ray pulsar (AXP) 4U 0142+61 detected by ASCA observations. We also found a significant pulse profile change after the putative glitch. The glitch parameters resemble those found in another AXP 1RXS J170849.0$-$400910, in the Vela pulsar, and in other radio pulsars. This suggests that the radio pulsars and AXPs have the same internal structure and glitch mechanism. It must be noted, however, that the pulse frequency anomaly can also be explained by a gradual change of the spin-down rate ($\dot{P}$) without invoking a glitch.

description: Spatially-resolved omics-data enable researchers to precisely distinguish cell types in tissue and explore their spatial interactions, enabling deep understanding of tissue functionality. To understand what causes or deteriorates a disease and identify related biomarkers, clinical researchers regularly perform large-scale cohort studies, requiring the comparison of such data at cellular level. In such studies, with little a-priori knowledge of what to expect in the data, explorative data analysis is a necessity. Here, we present an interactive visual analysis workflow for the comparison of cohorts of spatially-resolved omics-data. Our workflow allows the comparative analysis of two cohorts based on multiple levels-of-detail, from simple abundance of contained cell types over complex co-localization patterns to individual comparison of complete tissue images. As a result, the workflow enables the identification of cohort-differentiating features, as well as outlier samples at any stage of the workflow. During the development of the workflow, we continuously consulted with domain experts. To show the effectiveness of the workflow we conducted multiple case studies with domain experts from different application areas and with different data modalities.

To tackle the challenges of data heterogeneity and privacy in distributed environments, FedMVA enables decentralized training across multiple clients without sharing raw source code or annotations.The model integrates three complementary modalities:Lexical features (tokenized code)Structural representations (from code property graphs)Developer comments (semantic context)To enhance model performance and robustness, FedMVA incorporates:A weighted variance minimization loss to reduce divergence between local and global modelsA momentum-based client weighting strategyA dynamic learning rate mechanism to handle non-IID dataExperimental results on a tri-modal dataset constructed from CVE and GitHub repositories show that FedMVA outperforms state-of-the-art baselines in accuracy, F1-score, and MCC, while ensuring data privacy. This work highlights the power of integrating multimodal feature representations under federated settings for effective and scalable software vulnerability assessment.

description: In this work, we apply anomaly detection to source code and bytecode to facilitate the development of a programming language and its compiler. We define anomaly as a code fragment that is different from typical code written in a particular programming language. Identifying such code fragments is beneficial to both language developers and end users, since anomalies may indicate potential issues with the compiler or with runtime performance. Moreover, anomalies could correspond to problems in language design. For this study, we choose Kotlin as the target programming language. We outline and discuss approaches to obtaining vector representations of source code and bytecode and to the detection of anomalies across vectorized code snippets. The paper presents a method that aims to detect two types of anomalies: syntax tree anomalies and so-called compiler-induced anomalies that arise only in the compiled bytecode. We describe several experiments that employ different combinations of vectorization and anomaly detection techniques and discuss types of detected anomalies and their usefulness for language developers. We demonstrate that the extracted anomalies and the underlying extraction technique provide additional value for language development.

Isolation and characterization of a novel NADPH-dependent flavin reductase in C. elegans and humans
Creators: name: Kwasnicka, Dorota Anna
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase (CPR) is a flavin-containing enzyme, associated with the endoplasmic reticulum membrane, found in bacteria, plants, yeast, and animals. Its main function is the transfer of electrons from NADPH via FAD and FMN cofactors to cytochrome P-450 isoenzymes as well as to other heme-containing enzymes such as heme oxygenase and cytochrome b5. It also plays a critical role in the bioactivation and detoxification of one-electron acceptors such as the therapeutically important anticancer agents mitomicin c and tirapazepine. I identified a novel NADPH-dependent flavin reductase in C. elegans (FRE-1) with high similarity to cytochrome P450 reductase and the nitric oxide synthases (NOS). FRE-1 is transcribed from the same promoter as a two-gene operon with a novel protein, which we called HIT-1. It is a new member of the histidine triad (HIT) superfamily of proteins, which function as nucleotidyl transferases and hydrolases. This HIT family of proteins is highly conserved in nature, but the physiological role has not been identified for its members. I isolated a human ortholog of FRE-1 from a variety of tissues, including kidney, placenta and brain. This was the same protein as NR1, recently isolated from cancer cells. I also obtained a human sequence sharing significant similarity with C. elegans HIT-1, which has been named HHT1 (human histidine triad protein !). The presence of FRE-1 and HIT-1 in an operon in C. elegans suggests their common function in the cell. Using C. elegans and human embryonic kidney cells (HEK 7X) as models I show that the novel flavin reductase and a novel histidine triad protein are stress induced proteins and that they perform cooperative functions in stress conditions such as exposure to drugs. In this thesis I show that NR1 is induced by stress such as exposure to various concentrations of menadione and that it can reduce cytochrome c, a heme containing protein. Here, I use a model quinone menadione (MD) as an electron acceptor, which can undergo one-electron reduction by NR1. The results show that treatment of HEK expressing NR1 with menadione leads to increased cytotoxicity as compared to HEK cells expressing endogenous levels of NR1. I also show that HHT1 can significantly reduce the cytotoxicity induced by menadione in NR1 expressing and that HHT1 physically associates with and negatively regulates activity of NR1. This could represent a novel mechanism to regulate xenobiotic response, drug metabolism and activation of environmental chemicals.

description: Dust emission, an important diagnostic of star formation and ISM mass throughout the Universe, can be powered by sources unrelated to ongoing star formation. In the framework of the DustPedia project we have set out to disentangle the radiation of the ongoing star formation from that of the older stellar populations. This is done through detailed, 3D radiative transfer simulations of face-on spiral galaxies. In this particular study, we focus on NGC 1068, which contains an active galactic nucleus (AGN). The effect of diffuse dust heating by AGN (beyond the torus) was so far only investigated for quasars. This additional dust heating source further contaminates the broadband fluxes on which classic galaxy modelling tools rely to derive physical properties. We aim to fit a realistic model to the observations of NGC 1068 and quantify the contribution of the several dust heating sources. Our model is able to reproduce the global spectral energy distribution of the galaxy. It matches the resolved optical and infrared images fairly well, but deviates in the UV and the submm. We find a strong wavelength dependency of AGN contamination to the broadband fluxes. It peaks in the MIR, drops in the FIR, but rises again at submm wavelengths. We quantify the contribution of the dust heating sources in each 3D dust cell and find a median value of 83% for the star formation component. The AGN contribution is measurable at the percentage level in the disc, but quickly increases in the inner few 100 pc, peaking above 90%. This is the first time the phenomenon of an AGN heating the diffuse dust beyond its torus is quantified in a nearby star-forming galaxy. NGC 1068 only contains a weak AGN, meaning this effect can be stronger in galaxies with a more luminous AGN. This could significantly impact the derived star formation rates and ISM masses for such systems.

description: We consider a large class of models where the SU(5) gauge symmetry and a Froggatt-Nielsen (FN) Abelian flavor symmetry arise from a U(5)\times U(5) quiver gauge theory. An intriguing feature of these models is a relation between the gauge representation and the horizontal charge, leading to a restricted set of possible FN charges. Requiring that quark masses are hierarchical, the lepton flavor structure is uniquely determined. In particular, neutrino mass anarchy is predicted.

description: We explore the link between the chiral symmetry of QCD and the numerical results of the light-front quark model, analyzing both the two-point and three-point functions of the pion. Including the axial-vector coupling as well as the pseudoscalar coupling in the light-front quark model, we discuss the implication of the chiral anomaly in describing the pion decay constant, the pion-photon transition form factor and the electromagnetic form factor of the pion. In constraining the model parameters, we find that the chiral anomaly plays a critical role and the analysis of $F_{πγ}(Q^2)$ in timelike region is important. Our results indicate that the constituent quark picture is effective for the low and high $Q^2$ ranges implementing the quark mass evolution effect as $Q^2$ grows.

description: The farm level economic impacts of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 on representative crop and livestock operations are projected in this report. The analysis was conducted over the 2001-2007 planning horizon using FLIPSIM, AFPC’s whole farm simulation model. Data to simulate farming operations in the nation’s major production regions came from two sources: - Producer panel cooperation to develop economic information to describe and simulate representative crop, livestock, and dairy farms. - Projected prices, policy variables, and input inflation rates from the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI) January 2003 Baseline. The FLIPSIM policy simulation model incorporates the historical risk faced by farmers for prices and production. This report presents the results of the January 2003 Baseline in a risk context using selected simulated probabilities and ranges for annual net cash farm income values. The probability of a farm experiencing annual cash flow deficits and the probability of a farm losing real net worth are included as indicators of the cash flow and equity risks facing farms through the year 2007.

Introduction to tensorial resistivity probability tomography

description: The probability tomography approach developed for the scalar resistivity method is here extended to the 2D tensorial apparent resistivity acquisition mode. The rotational invariant derived from the trace of the apparent resistivity tensor is considered, since it gives on the datum plane anomalies confined above the buried objects. Firstly, a departure function is introduced as the difference between the tensorial invariant measured over the real structure and that computed for a reference uniform structure. Secondly, a resistivity anomaly occurrence probability (RAOP) function is defined as a normalised crosscorrelation involving the experimental departure function and a scanning function derived analytically using the Frechet derivative of the electric potential for the reference uniform structure. The RAOP function can be calculated in each cell of a 3D grid filling the investigated volume, and the resulting values can then be contoured in order to obtain the 3D tomographic image. Each non-vanishing value of the RAOP function is interpreted as the probability which a resistivity departure from the reference resistivity obtain in a cell as responsible of the observed tensorial apparent resistivity dataset on the datum plane. A synthetic case shows that the highest RAOP values correctly indicate the position of the buried objects and a very high spacial resolution can be obtained even for adjacent objects with opposite resistivity contrasts with respect to the resistivity of the hosting matrix. Finally, an experimental field case dedicated to an archaeological application of the resistivity tensor method is presented as a proof of the high resolution power of the probability tomography imaging, even when the data are collected in noisy open field conditions.

Landcare and ecological modernization in Australia: promoting ecological awareness or economic development?

description: In this paper the nature and origins of Australian Landcare are described in the context of the weak form of ecological modernization adhered to by the current neoconservative Australian Government. After outlining Foucault’s concept of discourse, the way in which landcare discourse and practice reflect the dominant neo-liberal rationale is examined, highlighting contradictions between its environmental rhetoric and economic imperative. The paper concludes with a discussion of potential discursive sources for an alternate and more truly transformative rural environmentalism than that currently apparent within Landcare discourse.

description: We present a study of the filamentary structure in the emission from the neutral atomic hydrogen (HI) at 21 cm across velocity channels in the 40'' and 1.5-km/s resolution position-position-velocity cube resulting from the combination of the single-dish and interferometric observations in The HI/OH/Recombination (THOR) line survey. Using the Hessian matrix method in combination with tools from circular statistics, we find that the majority of the filamentary structures in the HI emission are aligned with the Galactic plane. Part of this trend can be assigned to long filamentary structures that are coherent across several velocity channels. However, we also find ranges of Galactic longitude and radial velocity where the HI filamentary structures are preferentially oriented perpendicular to the Galactic plane. These are located (i) around the tangent point of the Scutum spiral arm, $l \approx 28^{\circ}$ and $v_{\rm LSR}\approx 100$ km/s, (ii) toward $l \approx 45^{\circ}$ and $v_{\rm LSR}\approx 50$ km/s, (iii) around the Riegel-Crutcher cloud, and (iv) toward the terminal velocities. Comparison with numerical simulations indicates that the prevalence of horizontal filamentary structures is most likely the result of the large-scale dynamics and that vertical structures identified in (i) and (ii) may arise from the combined effect of supernova (SN) feedback and strong magnetic fields. The vertical filamentary structures in (iv) can be related to the presence of clouds from extra-planar HI gas falling back into the Galactic plane after being expelled by SNe. Our results indicate that a systematic characterization of the emission morphology toward the Galactic plane provides an unexplored link between the observations and the dynamical behaviour of the interstellar medium, from the effect of large-scale Galactic dynamics to the Galactic fountains driven by SNe.
