description: Henry Fairfield Osborn (1857–1935) fez diversas contribuições para a biologia e para outras diferentes áreas do conhecimento como educação, ciência, religião e antropologia. Como estudante de geologia já havia feito o reconhecimento geológico de montanhas, participado de expedição científica coletando fósseis de vertebrados e plantas, assim como dedicou-se aos estudos de paleontologia desde esse período. Após formar-se, trabalhou durante vinte anos na universidade de Princeton, onde publicou artigos científicos sobre paleontologia de mamíferos, anfíbios e répteis. Sob a influência principalmente de Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895), Osborn interessou-se pela temática evolução, utilizando-se de vários modelos evolutivos, desde os princípios defendidos por Lamarck até as propostas de Darwin, inúmeras vezes contemplando os dois naturalistas como subsídios para suas explicações para a origem das características encontradas nos fósseis que estudava. Este trabalho visou apresentar como Osborn utilizou diferentes princípios evolutivos para explicar as variações encontradas nos fósseis descobertos e descritos, assim como entender quais os pesquisadores que deram base às suas ideias e que o inspiravam.

description: IRS~13E is an enigmatic compact group of massive stars located in projection only 3.6 arcseconds away from Sgr A*. This group has been suggested to be bounded by an intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH). We present a multi-wavelength study of the group and its interplay with the environment. Based on Chandra observations, we find the X-ray spectrum of IRS~13E can be well characterized by an optically thin thermal plasma. The emission peaks between two strongly mass-losing Wolf-Rayet stars of the group. These properties can be reasonably well reproduced by simulated colliding winds of these two stars. However, this scenario under-predicts the X-ray intensity in outer regions. The residual emission likely results from the ram-pressure confinement of the IRS~13E group wind by the ambient medium and is apparently associated with a shell-like warm gas structure seen in Pa-alpha and in ALMA observations. These latter observations also show strongly peaked thermal emission with unusually large velocity spread between the two stars. These results indicate that the group is colliding with the bar of the dense cool gas mini-spiral around Sgr A*. The extended X-ray morphology of IRS~13E and its association with the bar further suggest that the group is physically much farther away than the projected distance from Sgr A*. The presence of an IMBH, while favorable to keep the stars bound together, is not necessary to explain the observed stellar and gas properties of IRS~13E.

description: The Keck Planet Imager and Characterizer (KPIC) is an upgrade to the Keck II adaptive optics system that includes an active fiber injection unit (FIU) for efficiently routing light from exoplanets to NIRSPEC, a high-resolution spectrograph. Towards the end of 2019, we will add a suite of new coronagraph modes as well as a high-order deformable mirror. One of these modes, operating in $K$-band (2.2$μm$), will be the first vortex fiber nuller to go on sky. Vortex Fiber Nulling (VFN) is a new interferometric method for suppressing starlight in order to spectroscopically characterize exoplanets at angular separations that are inaccessible with conventional coronagraph systems. A monochromatic starlight suppression of $6\times10^{-5}$ in 635 nm laser light has already been demonstrated on a VFN testbed in the lab. A polychromatic experiment is now underway and coupling efficiencies of $<5\times10^{-4}$ and $\sim5\%$ have been demonstrated for the star and planet respectively in 10% bandwidth light. Here we describe those experiments, the new KPIC VFN mode, and the expected performance of this mode using realistic parameters determined from on-sky tests done during the KPIC commissioning.

Measuring age, metallicity and abundance ratios from absorption line indices
Creators: name: Tantalo, R.
name: Chiosi, C.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this study we present detailed calculations of absorption line indices on the Lick System based on the stellar models by Salasnich et al. (2000) calculated with enhanced mix of alpha-elements. Using the so-called Response Functions (RFs) of Tripicco & Bell (1995, TB95), we calculate the indices for SSPs of different age, metallicity and enhancement. We made use of the triplet Hb, Mgb and , and Minimum-Distance Method proposed by Trager et al. (2000, TFWG00) to estimate the age, metallicity and enhancement degree for the galaxies of the Gonzalez (1993) sample, and compare the results with those TFWG00 and Thomas et al (2003). Since very large differences are found, in particular as far as the age is concerned, we analyze in a great detail all possible sources of disagreement, going from the stellar models and SSPs to many technical details of the procedure to calculate the indices, and finally the pattern of chemical elements (especially when alpha-enhanced mixtures are adopted). The key issue of the analysis is that at given metallicity Z and enhancement factor, the specific abundance ratios [Xel/Fe] adopted for some elements (e.g. O, Mg, Ti, and likely others) dominate the scene because with the TB95 RFs they may strongly affect indices like Hb and the age in turn. Finally we have drawn some remarks on the interpretation of the distribution of early-type galaxies in popular two-indices planes, like Hb vs. [MgFe]. We argue that part of the scatter along the Hb axis observed in this plane could be attributed instead of the age, the current explanation, to a spread both in the degree of enhancement and some abundance ratios. The main conclusion of this study is that deriving ages, metallicities and degree of enhancement from line indices is a cumbersome affair whose results are still uncertain.

description: The desire of modern architecture for free form structures opens a large market for curved glass. Compared to flat glass, the production of curved glass is much more difficult because of additional parameters through the bending process. Since there is no standard available for curved glass in construction so far, at present the rules for flat glass are being considered. However, several cases of damage show that the application of curved glass needs own regulations to avoid glass breakage on the construction site. Therefore, the Munich University of Applied Sciences and the RWTH Aachen University have performed a research program [1] concerning the quality control and criteria of curved glass.

description: It is well established that the onset of spatially periodic vortex states in the Taylor-Couette flow between rotating cylinders occurs at the value of Reynold's number predicted by local bifurcation theory. However, the symmetry breaking induced by the top and bottom plates means that the true situation should be a disconnected pitchfork. Indeed, experiments have shown that the fold of the disconnected branch can occur at more than double the Reynold's number of onset. This leads to an apparent contradiction: why should Taylor vortices set in so sharply at the value Reynold's number predicted by the symmetric theory, given such large symmetry-breaking effects caused by the boundary conditions? This paper offers a generic explanation. The details are worked out using a Swift-Hohenberg pattern formation model that shares the same qualitative features as the Taylor-Couette flow. Onset occurs via a wall mode whose exponential tail penetrates further into the bulk of the domain as the driving parameter increases. In a large domain of length L, we show that the wall mode creates significant amplitude in the centre at parameter values that are O(L^{-2}) away from the value of onset in the problem with ideal boundary conditions. We explain this as being due to a Hamiltonian Hopf bifurcation in space, which occurs at the same parameter value as the pitchfork bifurcation of the temporal dynamics. The disconnected anomalous branch remains O(1) away from the onset parameter since it does not arise as a bifurcation from the wall mode.

description: In the present paper we make a thorough analysis of a classical spin system, within the framework of Tsallis nonextensive statistics. From the analysis of the generalized Gibbs free energy, within the mean-field approximation, a para-ferromagnetic phase diagram, which exhibits first and second order phase transitions, is built. The features of the generalized, and classical, magnetic moment are mainly determined by the values of $q$, the non-extensive parameter. The model is successfully applied to the case of La$_{0.60}$Y$_{0.07}$Ca$_{0.33}$MnO$_3$ manganite. The temperature and magnetic field dependence of the experimental magnetization on this manganite are faithfully reproduced. The agreement between rather "exotic" magnetic properties of manganites and the predictions of the $q$-statistics, comes to support our early claim that these materials are magnetically nonextensive objects.

Year: 1998

description: This paper examines the sale of durable goods by a monopolist in a stochastic partil equilibrium setting. It analyzes the responses of prices and output to various types of shocks and notes the differences with non-durable goods and competitive markets. It shows that behavior in this model with constant marginal costs of production is in many respects similar to behavior under perfect competition with increasing marginal costs.
description: L'auteur examine les ventes de biens durables en situation de monopole dans un cadre stochastique d'équilibre partiel. Il analyse les réactions des prix et de la production de ces biens en présence de divers types de chocs, en cherchant à établir si elles diffèrent de celles provoquées par ces chocs dans le cas des biens non durables et si elles varient selon que le marché est ou non concurrentiel. D'après le modèle qu'il utilise, le comportement que l'on observe lorsque les coûts marginaux de production sont constants serait similaire à plusieurs égards au comportement observé en régime de concurrence parfaite avec des coûts marginaux croissants.

description: Purpose: Using 4D magnetic particle imaging (MPI), intravascular optical coherence tomography (IVOCT) catheters are tracked in real time in order to compensate for image artifacts related to relative motion. Our approach demonstrates the feasibility for bimodal IVOCT and MPI in-vitro experiments. Material and Methods: During IVOCT imaging of a stenosis phantom the catheter is tracked using MPI. A 4D trajectory of the catheter tip is determined from the MPI data using center of mass sub-voxel strategies. A custom built IVOCT imaging adapter is used to perform different catheter motion profiles: no motion artifacts, motion artifacts due to catheter bending, and heart beat motion artifacts. Two IVOCT volume reconstruction methods are compared qualitatively and quantitatively using the DICE metric and the known stenosis length. Results: The MPI-tracked trajectory of the IVOCT catheter is validated in multiple repeated measurements calculating the absolute mean error and standard deviation. Both volume reconstruction methods are compared and analyzed whether they are capable of compensating the motion artifacts. The novel approach of MPI-guided catheter tracking corrects motion artifacts leading to a DICE coefficient with a minimum of 86% in comparison to 58% for a standard reconstruction approach. Conclusions: IVOCT catheter tracking with MPI in real time is an auspicious method for radiation free MPI-guided IVOCT interventions. The combination of MPI and IVOCT can help to reduce motion artifacts due to catheter bending and heart beat for optimized IVOCT volume reconstructions.

Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 1998

description: The authors construct a simple general equilibrium model of unemployment and calibrate it to the Canadian economy. Job creation and destruction are endogenous. In this model, they consider several potential factors that could contribute to the long-run increase in the Canadian unempoloyment rate: a more generous unemployment insurance system, higher layoff costs, higher discretionary taxes, and a slower rate of productivity growth. They find that in the model economy the impact of all of these factors on the unemployment rate is small.

Ils examinent plusieurs facteurs susceptibles d'entraîner à long terme une hausse du taux de chômage au Canada : un régime d'assurance-chômage plus généreux, des coûts de licenciement plus élevés, de plus fortes distorsions fiscales et une croissance plus faible de la productivité. D'après le modèle qu'ils utilisent, l'incidence de tous ces facteurs sur le taux de chômage serait faible.
Tailoring Glass Properties: Why Chemical Composition and Thermal Treatments Matter
Creators: name: Richet, P.
Publisher: name: Challenging Glass Conference Proceedings
Year: 2010

description: Architectural use of glass dates back from the beginning of our era when it was used to make windows. Its range of chemical composition was close to that of current flat or hollow glass, illustrating early optimization of both production process and material properties. In modern buildings glass is ubiquitous, highly visible as in facades or hidden as fibers for thermal insulation or for high-speed telecommunication. This short review describes the main factors that have made this variety of uses possible. The fundamental point is the amorphous nature of glass, which allows pieces of any shape and size to be produced and the properties of the material to be tailored through thermal treatments and incorporation of a host of chemical elements in widely different proportions.

Design concept for bolted Glass
Creators: name: Baitinger, M.
name: Feldmann, M.
Publisher: name: Challenging Glass Conference Proceedings
Year: 2010

description: For the design of load carrying glazing structures the connection technique plays an important role, as e.g. there are significant stress concentrations in the vicinity of holes that are subject to a point-like support of glass panes. If no further constructional means are provided, the stress peaks cannot be redistributed and thus a sudden brittle failure is likely to occur. In particular this concerns bolts in bearings of drilled glass holes as long as no ductile stress distributing interlayers in the clearance between hole bearing and bolt shank is provided. In the article, a simple design formula for glass joints with bolts in bearings is suggested that is based on an analytical approach where the local stress distributions coming on the one hand from the bearing pressure and on the other hand from the net section stress concentrations are superposed, and both for which the solutions according to AIRY’s differential equation are found resp. used further on. By this the relevant stresses in dependence on the acting design force, the hole diameter and the pane thickness can be determined without performing complex and time consuming Finite Element calculations.

description: The identification of non-Gaussian signatures in cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature maps is one of the main cosmological challenges today. We propose and investigate altenative methods to analyse CMB maps. Using the technique of constrained randomisation we construct surrogate maps which mimic both the power spectrum and the amplitude distribution of simulated CMB maps containing non-Gaussian signals. Analysing the maps with weighted scaling indices and Minkowski functionals yield in both cases statistically significant identification of the primordial non-Gaussianities. We demonstrate that the method is very robust with respect to noise. We also show that Minkowski functionals are able to account for non-linearities at higher noise level when applied in combination with surrogates than when only applied to noise added CMB maps and phase randomised versions of them, which only reproduce the power spectrum.

description: Context. As a building block for amino acids, formamide (NH$_2$CHO) is an important molecule in astrobiology and astrochemistry, but its formation path in the interstellar medium is not understood well. Aims. We aim to find empirical evidence to support the chemical relationships of formamide to HNCO and H$_2$CO. Methods. We examine high angular resolution (~0.2") Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) maps of six sources in three high-mass star-forming regions and compare the spatial extent, integrated emission peak position, and velocity structure of HNCO and H$_2$CO line emission with that of NH$_2$CHO by using moment maps. Through spectral modeling, we compare the abundances of these three species. Results. In these sources, the emission peak separation and velocity dispersion of formamide emission is most often similar to HNCO emission, while the velocity structure is generally just as similar to H$_2$CO and HNCO (within errors). From the spectral modeling, we see that the abundances between all three of our focus species are correlated, and the relationship between NH$_2$CHO and HNCO reproduces the previously demonstrated abundance relationship. Conclusions. In this first interferometric study, which compares two potential parent species to NH$_2$CHO, we find that all moment maps for HNCO are more similar to NH$_2$CHO than H$_2$CO in one of our six sources (G24 A1). For the other five sources, the relationship between NH$_2$CHO, HNCO, and H$_2$CO is unclear as the different moment maps for each source are not consistently more similar to one species as opposed to the other.

Publisher: name: Bank of Canada

description: This paper discusses the merits and shortcomings of alternative price indices used in constructing real effective exchange rate indices and examines the effects of different weighting schemes. It also compares selected measures of the real effective exchange rate in terms of their ability to explain movements in Canadian net exports and real output. The paper argues that, although different weighting schemes may at times provide useful and complementary information, the choice of a weighting scheme does not, in general, significantly affect on measures of Canada's competitiveness. The choice of a price index is usually the critical factor. In particular, real effective exchange rate indices that are computed using unit labour costs explain movements in Canadian net exports and real output significantly better than those based on consumer price indices.
description: Les auteurs analysent les mérites et les lacunes de différents indices de prix utilisés dans l'élaboration de mesures du taux de change réel effectif ainsi que l'incidence du choix du mécanisme de pondération. Ils comparent également la capacité de certaines de ces mesures d'expliquer l'évolution des exportations nettes et de la production réelle au Canada. Selon eux, le recours à divers mécanismes de pondération peut parfois fournir des renseignements additionnels pertinents; toutefois, en règle générale, le choix du mécanisme de pondération n'influence pas de façon sensible la mesure de la compétitivité canadienne. Dans la plupart des cas, le facteur décisif est plutôt l'indice de prix retenu. Plus précisément, les mesures du taux de change réel effectif calculées à partir des coûts unitaires de main-d'oeuvre expliquent beaucoup mieux les variations des exportations nettes et de la production réelle au Canada que celles reposant sur les indices de prix à la consommation.

description: During two semesters the ILEK (Institute for Lightweight Structures and Conceptual Design) held an explorative student workshop focusing on new glass design possibilities. Students from the faculties of Civil Engineering and Architecture first gained insight into the theoretical foundations of glass and different fabrication techniques, and then applied these techniques to realize a design theme of their choosing. The range of themes was intentionally left open and the scope of the techniques employed was correspondingly broad. For example, flexible glass-hybrids, pure glass-glass joints and three dimensionally deformed glass panes were created, the haptic variation of fused glass shards was studied, and pre-deformed glass stripes fused together to generate woven glass. The objects evolved were not intended for direct incorporation into architectural applications, but rather as a stimulus for new glass design ideas beyond the aspect of transparency. This paper presents a detailed description of the various objects and the techniques employed.

description: Previously, we developed a minimal model based on random cooperative strings for the relaxation of supercooled liquids in the bulk and near free interfaces, and we recovered some key experimental observations. In this article, after recalling the main ingredients of the cooperative string model, we study the effective glass transition and surface mobility of various experimentally-relevant confined geometries: freestanding films, supported films, spherical particles, and cylindrical particles, with free interfaces and/or passive substrates. Finally, we introduce a novel way to account for a purely attractive substrate, and explore the impact of the latter in the previous geometries.
Pulsed Laser Polymerization at Low Conversions: Broadening and Chain Transfer Effects

description: Pulsed laser polymerization (PLP) is widely employed to measure propagation rate coefficients k_p in free radical polymerization. Various properties of PLP have been established in previous works, mainly using numerical methods. The objective of this paper is to obtain analytical results. We obtain the most general analytical solution for the dead chain molecular weight distribution (MWD) under low conversion conditions which has been hitherto obtained. Simultaneous disproportionation and combination termination processes are treated. The hallmarks of PLP are the dead MWD discontinuities located at integer multiples of n_0 = k_p t_0 C_M, where t_0 is the laser period and C_M is the monomer concentration. We show that chain transfer reduces their amplitude by factors e^{-c_{tr} L n_0}, consistent with numerical results obtained by other workers. Here c_{tr} is the chain transfer coefficient and L is an integer. Additionally, transfer generates a small amplitude continuous contribution to the MWD. These results generalize earlier analytical results obtained for the case of disproportionation only. We also considered 2 classes of broadening: (i) Poisson broadening of growing living chains and (ii) intrinsic broadening by the MWD measuring equipment (typically gel permeation chromatography, GPC). Broadening smoothes the MWD discontinuities. Under typical PLP experimental conditions, the associated inflection points are very close to the discontinuities of the unbroadened MWD. Previous numerical works have indicated that the optimal procedure is to use the inflection point to infer k_p. We prove that this is a correct procedure provided the GPC resolution σis better than n_0^{1/2}. Otherwise this underestimates L n_0 by an amount of order σ^2/n_0.

description: This study introduces a new method for identifying the output gap, based on the estimation of multivariate autoregression (VAR) models. This approach, which involves using restrictions to identify structural shocks that have only a transitory effect on output but that affect the trend inflation rate, is compared with the decomposition method proposed by Blanchard and Quah (1989). We also show some applications based on VAR model estimations for the Canadian, United States, and German economies. We find in particular that shocks having a transitory influence on output can explain most of the variance in inflation in these three countries. This suggests that the long-term neutrality hypothesis about the production of inflation-influencing shocks is a good approximation. We also find that only a small part of the output variance reflects changes in trend inflation. We go on to estimate simple inflation indicator models in order to assess the information that is contained in output gap estimations and used to explain inflationary pressures. The results suggest that the proposed method is a promising one.
description: Nous présentons dans cette étude une nouvelle méthode d'identification de l'écart de production basée sur l'estimation de modèles autorégressifs multivariés (VAR). Nous y comparons cette approche, qui implique l'utilisation de restrictions permettant d'identifier des chocs structurels ayant un effet transitoire sur la production mais affectant la tendance de l'inflation, à la méthode de décomposition proposée par Blanchard et Quah (1989). Nous y présentons également des applications basées sur l'estimation de modèles VAR des économies canadienne, américaine et allemande. Nous observons notamment que les chocs qui influencent la production de façon transitoire rendent compte de l'essentiel de la variance de l'inflation dans ces trois économies, ce qui donne à penser que l'hypothèse de neutralité de long terme par rapport à la production des chocs influençant l'inflation est une bonne approximation. Nous trouvons aussi que ce n'est qu'une faible part de la variance de la production qui explique les changements de tendance de l'inflation. En outre, nous estimons des modèles indicateurs simples de l'inflation afin d'évaluer l'information contenue dans les estimations des écarts de production et qui sert à expliquer les pressions inflationnistes. Les résultats obtenus semblent prometteurs pour la méthode proposée.

description: Driven by the need for describing and understanding wave propagation in structural materials and components, several analytical, numerical, and experimental techniques have been developed to obtain dispersion curves. Accurate characterization of the structure (waveguide) under test is needed for analytical and numerical approaches. Experimental approaches, on the other hand, rely on analyzing waveforms as they propagate along the structure. Material inhomogeneity, reflections from boundaries, and the physical dimensions of the structure under test limit the frequency range over which dispersion curves can be measured. In this work, a new data-driven modeling approach for estimating dispersion curves is developed. This approach utilizes the relatively easy-to-measure, steady-state Frequency Response Functions (FRFs) to develop a state-space dynamical model of the structure under test. The developed model is then used to study the transient response of the structure and estimate its dispersion curves. This paper lays down the foundation of this approach and demonstrates its capabilities on a one-dimensional homogeneous beam using numerically calculated FRFs. Both in-plane and out-of-plane FRFs corresponding, respectively, to longitudinal (the first symmetric) and flexural (the first anti-symmetric) wave modes are analyzed. The effects of boundary conditions on the performance of this approach are also addressed.

The Influence of the Edge Sealing in Curved Insulated Glass
Creators: name: Neugebauer, J.
Publisher: name: Challenging Glass Conference Proceedings

description: An essential part of the structural analysis of insulated glass is, to find values for the inner pressure as a result the so called climatic load and the coupling effect in these curved insulated glass units. An interesting aspect of this analysis is the influence of the edge sealing. The edge sealing allows small movements and rotations of the glass at the edges. Depending on the load situation the distance between glass panes becomes longer or shorter. A range of displacements with a value of 0.1 mm up to 0.2 mm depending on the edge system used is possible. This displacement value is not big, but multiplied by the area of the glass panes a difference in the effective inner pressure results, which should not be neglected.
