description: A new strategy of fitting the coupling constants of the nuclear energy density functional is proposed, which shifts attention from ground-state bulk to single-particle properties. The latter are analyzed in terms of the bare single-particle energies and mass, shape, and spin core-polarization effects. Fit of the isoscalar spin-orbit and both isoscalar and isovector tensor coupling constants directly to the f5/2-f7/2 spin-orbit splittings in 40Ca, 56Ni, and 48Ca is proposed as a practical realization of this new programme. It is shown that this fit requires drastic changes in the isoscalar spin-orbit strength and the tensor coupling constants as compared to the commonly accepted values but it considerably and systematically improves basic single-particle properties including spin-orbit splittings and magic-gap energies. Impact of these changes on nuclear binding energies is also discussed.

description: While it is tempting in experimental practice to seek as high a data rate as possible, oversampling can become an issue if one takes measurements too densely. These effects can take many forms, some of which are easy to detect: e.g., when the data sequence contains multiple copies of the same measured value. In other situations, as when there is mixing$-$in the measurement apparatus and/or the system itself$-$oversampling effects can be harder to detect. We propose a novel, model-free technique to detect local mixing in time series using an information-theoretic technique called permutation entropy. By varying the temporal resolution of the calculation and analyzing the patterns in the results, we can determine whether the data are mixed locally, and on what scale. This can be used by practitioners to choose appropriate lower bounds on scales at which to measure or report data. After validating this technique on several synthetic examples, we demonstrate its effectiveness on data from a chemistry experiment, methane records from Mauna Loa, and an Antarctic ice core.

description: Certain scattering amplitudes in the gravitational sector of type II string theory on K3 x T^2 are found to be computed by correlation functions of the N=4 topological string. This analysis extends the already known results for K3 by Berkovits and Vafa, which correspond to six-dimensional terms in the effective action, involving four Riemann tensors and 4g-4 graviphotons, R^4T^{4g-4}, at genus g. We find two additional classes of topological amplitudes that use the full internal SCFT of K3 x T^2. One of these string amplitudes is mapped to a 1-loop contribution in the heterotic theory, and is studied explicitly. It corresponds to the four-dimensional term R^2(ddΦ)^2T^{2g-4}, with Φa Kaluza-Klein graviscalar from T^2. Finally, the generalization of the harmonicity relation for its moduli dependent coupling coefficient is obtained and shown to contain an anomaly, generalizing the holomorphic anomaly of the N=2 topological partition function F_g.

description: This report includes an analysis of traffic accident data in Kentucky for the years of 1990-1994. A primary objective of this study was to determine average accident statistics for Kentucky highways. Average and critical numbers and rates of accidents were calculated for various types of highways in rural and urban areas. These data can be used in Kentucky's procedure to identify locations that have abnormal rates or numbers of accidents.  Another objective of this study was to provide data which can be used in the preparation of the problem identification portion of Kentucky's Annual Highway Safety Plan. County and city accident statistics were analyzed. A summary of results and recommendations in several problem identification areas is presented. These general areas include alcohol, occupant protection, speed, teenage drivers, pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles, trains, and vehicle defects. Other areas included in the analysis included drugs, school bus accidents, and truck accidents.

description: The objective of this study was to establish 1995 safety belt and child safety seat usage rates in Kentucky. The 1995 survey documents the continuing results from enacting a statewide mandatory safety belt law in 1994. Data were collected at 100 sites and combined based on vehicle miles travelled for a given type of highway, rural or urban location, and county population category. Also included in this report is an analysis of accident records evaluating the effectiveness of safety belts.  The data show that the dramatic increase in usage rates after enactment of the statewide law has decreased a small amount. Rates still remain significantly above the 1993 level of 42 percent. The usage rates for drivers decreased from 58 percent in 1994 to 54 percent in 1995. While the usage rate for drivers had increased for the past several years, the amount of the increase was decreasing prior to enactment of the statewide law.  The statewide usage rate for children under the age of four was determined to be 66 percent. This represents a decrease from the 72 percent usage determined in the 1994 survey.  Benefits in the reduction of injuries for occupants involved in police-reported accidents wearing a safety belt or in a safety seat were shown through the analysis of accident records. For example, a 59 percent reduction in fatal or incapacitating injuries was determined for drivers wearing a safety belt compared to those who were not restrained.

description: We present a simple, two dimensional example of a "cat" -- a body with zero angular momentum that can rotate itself with no external forces. This model is used to explain why this problem is known to be a gauge theory and to illustrate the importance of non-commutative operators. We will also show a comparison between the free-space "cat" in Newtonian mechanics and the same problem in Aristotelian mechanics at low Reynolds number; this simple example shows the analogy between (angular) momentum in Newtonian mechanics and (torque) force in Aristotelian mechanics. We will end by pointing out a topological invariant common to our model in free space and at low Reynolds number.

description: SPIRAL 2 is a high intensity heavy ions beams accelerator project that has been going on for more than 10 years now. Countless efforts in different disciplines made it what it is today. One of the most important steps after the set up of the different equipments has been the very first full cool down of the superconducting cavities in an accelerator operation type configuration. While this has been a major achievement for the SPIRAL 2 teams, it also hi-lighted new challenges and constraints that would have to be addressed in order to have a high availability rate of the beam from the cryogenics side. This paper retraces this particular episode.

description: The objective of this study was to update the guidelines to be considered when determining whether left-turn phasing should be used and the appropriate type at phasing to use. Emphasis was placed on high speed areas.  There were 264 intersections included in the study with data obtained tor 518 approaches at these intersections. The data included accidents and characteristics at the intersection. Traffic conflict data were collected. Simulation models were used to estimate delays.  Recommendations were made concerning guidelines to consider when deciding whether to install left turn phasing and whether to use protected-only or protected/permitted phasing. Variables considered included accident history, traffic volume and delay, traffic speed, number at left-turn lanes, number of opposing lanes, sight distance, intersection geometrics, left-turn volume, and opposing volume.

description: We present deep I and z' imaging of the colour-selected cluster RzCS 052 and study the color-magnitude relation of this cluster, its scatter, the morphological distribution on the red sequence, the luminosity and stellar mass functions of red galaxies and the cluster blue fraction. We find that the stellar populations of early type galaxies in this cluster are uniformly old and that their luminosity function does not show any sign of evolution other than the passive evolution of their stellar populations. We rule out a significant contribution from mergers in the buildup of the red sequence of RzCS 052. The cluster has a large (~30%) blue fraction and and we infer that the evolution of the blue galaxies is faster than an exponentially declining star formation model and that these objects have probably experienced starburst episodes. Mergers are unlikely to be the driver of the observed colour evolution, because of the measured constancy of the mass function, as derived from near-infrared photometry of 32 clusters, including RzCS 052, presented in a related paper. Mechanisms with clustercentric radial dependent efficiencies are disfavored as well, because of the observed constant blue fraction with clustercentric distance.

We discuss the differences between models and identify the underlying reasons for these differences. The stellar models are representative of potential CoRoT targets. Overall we find very good agreement between the five different codes, but with some significant deviations. We find noticeable discrepancies (though still at the per cent level) that result from the handling of the equation of state, of the opacities and of the convective boundaries. The results of our work will be helpful in interpreting future asteroseismology results from CoRoT.

description: The nuclear resonance parameters and the capture cross section of the neutron magic isotope 139La has been measured n_TOF. The description of the experimental apparata is followed by the data analysis procedures. We extracted the resonance parameters, the main nuclear quantities such as the resonance integral, the average gamma widths for s- and p-waves, the nuclear level densities and the neutron strength functions. These results represent a signifcant improvement over previous data. The deduced Maxwellian-averaged capture cross sections are important for the interpretation of the most recent spectroscopic observations in low metallicity stars.

Effects of molecular structure on the rheology and processability of high density polyethylene blow molding resins
Creators: name: Ariawan, Alfonsius Budi
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Resin processability depends heavily on its rheological properties. The molecular structure of the resin, in turn, influences its rheological behavior. In this work, experiments were conducted using capillary and extensional rheometers, a melt indexer and a blow molder unit to determine the rheological properties and processability of high density polyethylene blow molding resins. Twenty four commercial resins were analyzed in terms of their shear flow properties, extensional flow properties, extrudate swell characteristics, and melt strength. The studied samples had varying molecular weight characteristics and were produced using a variety of technologies. Using the experimental results, correlations between rheological properties and molecular structures were determined. Furthermore, to assess resin processability, pillow mold (blow molding) experiments were performed. The implications of rheology on processability (parison sag and weight swell) were then discussed. Additional experiments were also conducted to assess the usefulness of melt index (MI), stress exponent (S.Ex.) and melt flow ratio (MFR) in characterizing rheological properties. It was found that shear viscosity is technology dependent and that it is influenced by the weight average molecular weight (Mw) and polydispersity index (PI). Increasing Mw was found to increase the shear viscosity, while increasing PI by increasing the concentration of smaller molecules increases the tendency of the resin to shear thin. The extensional viscosity was also affected by Mw in the same manner. The influence of PI on extensional viscosity, however, was not apparent. In order to relate the melt strength and temperature sensitivity of shear viscosity to molecular parameters, resins had to be grouped according to the polydispersity index ranges of PI<8, 8<PI<10, and PI>10. Moreover, it was possible to relate melt strength to the Hencky strain obtained from creep experiments. With regard to extrudate swell, it was found that the Z-average molecular weight (Mz) and PI are useful for determining the sensitivity of the swell to changes in shear rate. Extrudate swell behavior and melt strength are important parameters to be considered during parison formation, as observed during blow molding experiments. Finally, MI, S.Ex., and MFR were found to be technology dependent and are useful only for resin comparisons.

description: Shopify's analytics and reports give you all the data you need to understand your sales and customers in great detail. You can use this information to make better decisions about your business, improve your marketing strategies, and boost your bottom line. As a business owner, you need to be able to track your sales and analyze your customer data in order to make informed decisions about your business. However, this can be difficult without the right tools. Most business owners rely on guesswork or intuition when it comes to making decisions about their businesses. This can lead to missed opportunities and lost profits. Shopify's analytics and reports give you all the data you need to understand your sales and customers in great detail. You can use this information to make better decisions about your business, improve your marketing strategies, and boost your bottom line. What does Shopify use for analytics? Shopify uses a variety of different analytics tools, including but not limited to Google Analytics, Mixpanel, and Kissmetrics. Each tool provides different insights into how customers are using a Shopify store. For example, Google Analytics can show how many people have visited a store and where they came from, while Kissmetrics can track which actions customers take on a store (such as adding an item to their cart or making a purchase) and how often they repeat those actions. Is Shopify Analytics the same as Google Analytics? No. Shopify Analytics is a paid service that gives you more detailed information about your store's traffic and sales than Google Analytics. Google Analytics is a free service that provides basic website statistics, such as the number of visitors to your site and the pages they visited. However, it does not include information about traffic sources (such as how people found your site) or sales data. Shopify Analytics includes all of the features of Google Analytics, plus detailed information about traffic sources and sales data. It also includes features that are specifically designed for stores that use Shopify, such as conversion tracking and ecommerce funnels. https://analyzify.app/shopify-analytics

Only the Church may decide and allow the second marriage of widowed priests. In conclusion, we record the sanctions in the canons concerning monks, who fall from their promise to chastity, either by getting married or fornication.

description: We present the first realization of the generalized pseudoatom concept introduced by Ball, and adopt the name enatom to minimize confusion. This enatom, which consists of a unique decomposition of the total charge density (or potential) of any solid into a sum of overlapping atomiclike contributions that move rigidly with the nuclei to first order, is calculated using (numerical) linear response methods, and is analyzed for both fcc Li and Al at pressures of 0, 35, and 50 GPa. These two simple fcc metals (Li is fcc and a good superconductor in the 20-40 GPa range) show different physical behaviors under pressure, which reflects the increasing covalency in Li and the lack of it in Al. The nonrigid (deformation) parts of the enatom charge and potential have opposite signs in Li and Al; they become larger under pressure only in Li. These results establish a method of construction of the enatom, whose potential can be used to obtain a real-space understanding of the vibrational properties and electron-phonon interaction in solids.

description: This dissertation aims at present the known to date literary work of Cypriot litterateur and intellectual Loukis Akritas (1908-1965) in whole, which consists in thirteen short stories, one novella, two novels and four plays. After an introductory reference to his life and action -political and journalistic- his works are examined per chapter in chronological sequence and in an enlistment by genre too (firstly the short stories are examined, the novella and the novels afterwards and finally the plays). In each chapter the emphasis is given to the close reading of the texts by thematic, narrative and in point of genre aspect; the texts are associated and collated with contem-porary Greek and Cypriot writers’ works. Their reception by critics is also examined so as the temperament of the era is ascribed on the whole. In the final section of the dissertation, the most characteristic features of his writ-ing are summarized and some overall remarks about his literary production are given. Eventually, the specificity of Akritas’ writing, which is also its most distinguished feature, is stressed: the fact that he matches with consis-tency his ideals as an intellectual and a politician and his love for Greece and Cyprus with a perfect literary expressure.

description: We study the suppression of nonlinear interactions in resonant macroscopic quantum devices in the case of the solid-state ring laser gyroscope. These nonlinear interactions are tuned by vibrating the gain medium along the cavity axis. Beat note occurrence under rotation provides a precise measurement of the strength of nonlinear interactions, which turn out to vanish for some discrete values of the amplitude of vibration. Our theoretical description, in very good agreement with the measured data, suggests the use of a higher vibration frequency to achieve quasi-ideal rotation sensing over a broad range of rotation speeds. We finally underline the analogy between this device and some other macroscopic quantum rotation sensors, such as ring-shaped superfluid configurations, where nonlinear interactions could be tuned for example by the use of magnetically-induced Feschbach resonance.

description: The study of wave propagation outside bounded obstacles uncovers the existence of resonances for the Laplace operator, which are complex-valued generalized eigenvalues, relevant to estimate the long time asymptotics of the wave. In order to understand distribution of these resonances at high frequency, we employ semiclassical tools, which leads to considering the classical scattering problem, and in particular the set of trapped trajectories. We focus on "chaotic" situations, where this set is a hyperbolic repeller, generally with a fractal geometry. In this context, we derive fractal Weyl upper bounds for the resonance counting; we also obtain dynamical criteria ensuring the presence of a resonance gap. We also address situations where the trapped set is a normally hyperbolic submanifold, a case which can help analyzing the long time properties of (classical) Anosov contact flows through semiclassical methods.

description: Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is one of the most popular tools in decision making. The first step in AHP is the decomposition of the problem to be solved in a hierarchy. Next, the decision-maker makes pairwise judgements for every group of elements in the hierarchy and we have the pairwise comparison matrices or matrices AHP. Finally, we estimate the priorities of the elements of AHP matrix, from which the final weights result. The present study examines the methods that can be used for the estimation of these priorities. In the first chapter, an introduction is made in AHP and its concepts. In the second chapter, the deterministic methods are examined, and specifically, the eigenvector method and the geometric mean method. New trends of deterministic methods, that have been developed after 2008, are also presented. In the third paragraph stochastic methods of weights estimation are presented, and specifically the method of regression analysis and the method of interval regression analysis. Finally, in the forth chapter, we present an application of AHP in business credit evaluation.

description: Time-sensitive services (TSSs) have been widely envisioned for future sixth generation (6G) wireless communication networks. Due to its inherent low-latency advantage, mobile edge computing (MEC) will be an indispensable enabler for TSSs. The random characteristics of the delay experienced by users are key metrics reflecting the quality of service (QoS) of TSSs. Most existing studies on MEC have focused on the average delay. Only a few research efforts have been devoted to other random delay characteristics, such as the delay bound violation probability and the probability distribution of the delay, by decoupling the transmission and computation processes of MEC. However, if these two processes could not be decoupled, the coupling will bring new challenges to analyzing the random delay characteristics. In this paper, an MEC system with a limited computation buffer at the edge server is considered. In this system, the transmission process and computation process form a feedback loop and could not be decoupled. We formulate a discrete-time two-stage tandem queueing system. Then, by using the matrix-geometric method, we obtain the estimation methods for the random delay characteristics, including the probability distribution of the delay, the delay bound violation probability, the average delay and the delay standard deviation. The estimation methods are verified by simulations. The random delay characteristics are analyzed by numerical experiments, which unveil the coupling relationship between the transmission process and computation process for MEC. These results will largely facilitate elaborate allocation of communication and computation resources to improve the QoS of TSSs.

Executive summary

Climate models are often used to conduct climate change experiments in response to external forcings such as carbon dioxide increases. In order to do so, it is necessary that the models can also maintain a stationary climate if no such forcing is applied. This requires an energy balance between sources and sinks, ideally between the incoming solar radiation and the reflected and emitted radiation at the top of the atmosphere. This balance is highly sensitive to even small changes in cloudiness. Also, numerical model imperfections can cause artificial sources or sinks of energy, which must be compensated for in order to obtain a stationary basic climate. We provide successful examples and conclude that obtaining radiation balance and a stable climate in the nextGEMS models is challenging but clearly feasible.

Conclusion & Results

The finished work described here shows that stabilising the top of atmosphere radiation balance is feasible in the nextGEMS models. If combined with the small energy leakage levels achieved in the IFS model a stationary climate can be attained. Alternatively, if the energy leakage is known, as in the ICON model, the radiation balance can be used to compensate. This technique is less desirable but practical until the energy leakages have been remedied.

Relative to contemporary climate models, we find that the radiation balance appears to be relatively good in the nextGEMS models already before parameter tuning has been conducted. This makes it easier to attain radiation balance since fewer parameters must be changed. Also, since the anticipated model runs are relatively short, the requirements for accurate tuning are lower than for contemporary climate models that are typically spun up and run for thousands of years. For example, the spin-up of MPI-ESM1.2-LR was 10,000 years. We further find that short runs of about 5 days before chaos takes over can be informative of the effect of tuning parameters, which alleviates some of the high computational cost of running the nextGEMS models. Nevertheless, the computational cost and time required to run these simulations remains challenging.

All in all, we conclude that attaining radiation balance is feasible and that a stable climate can be obtained if the model energy leakage is known. Nevertheless, the presence of energy leakage can be problematic for other reasons; for example, it may affect the circulation. Moving forward, we therefore recommend that energy leakages in the nextGEMS models are monitored, and if possible remedied.

description: We prove that the indices of fibered-cusp and $d$-Dirac operators on a spin manifold with fibered boundary coincide if the associated family of Dirac operators on the fibers of the boundary is invertible. This answers a question raised by Piazza. Under this invertibility assumption, our method yields an index formula for the Dirac operator of horn-cone and of fibered horn metrics.

Methane homologation by the two-step cycle on Co Catalysts
Creators: name: Zadeh, Jaafar Sadegh Soltan Mohammad

description: Conversion of natural gas to liquid hydrocarbons upgrades a low density fuel to a valuable source of chemicals and liquid fuel. To eliminate the expensive intermediate step of methane-steam refonning in the commercial Fischer-Tropsch, methanol to gasoline and Shell middle distillate synthesis processes, a direct method of CH₄ conversion to higher hydrocarbons is very desirable. In direct conversion of CH₄ to higher hydrocarbons in the presence of O₂ (e.g. oxidative coupling and partial oxidation), deep oxidation of CH₄ to CO and CO₂ is a major drawback. In the two-step homologation of CH₄ in the absence of O₂, CH₄, is first activated on a reduced transition metal catalyst at high temperature (e.g. 450 °C) to produce H₂ and carbon species on the catalyst. The carbon species are then hydrogenated in the second step at a lower temperature (e.g. 100 °C) to produce CH₄ and higher hydrocarbons. In the present study of the two-step homologation of CH₄, Si0₂ supported Co catalysts were prepared by incipient impregnation. The catalysts were characterized by BET surface area and pore volume measurement, powder X-ray diffraction, temperature programmed reduction, H₂ chemisorption and Co re-oxidation. Carbon species deposited in the activation step were recovered by isothermal hydrogenation at 100 °C, temperature programmed surface reaction and temperature programmed oxidation to account for the reactivity of different carbon species. The effect of catalyst loading, activation time, activation temperature, carbon aging, reaction cycle and isothermal medium on both the CH₄, activation step and the isothermal hydrogenation to C₂₊ hydrocarbons, were studied. Based on the findings from deposition of more than a nominal monolayer carbon coverage on the supported metal a semi-empirical kinetic model for the activation of CH₄ on Co-SiO₂ catalysts was developed. In the kinetic model, gas phase CH₄ is first activated on Co to produce adsorbed H and CH₃ species. Migration of some of the CH₃ species from the metal to the support liberates Co sites for further reaction. H₂ is generated by further dehydrogenation of CH₃ species on the metal and support, and desorption of adsorbed H. The kinetic model and rate constants of different steps were used to interpret the effect of changes in operating conditions on the rate of different steps of the CH₄ activation reaction. Metal-support interactions in the Co-Si0₂ system play an important role in CH₄ activation and in determining the activity of carbon species. With more than a nominal monolayer coverage of metal by carbon, a considerable amount of inactive carbon, which can only be removed by high temperature oxidation, is produced on the support. Hydrogen content and age of the carbon species were among the important factors affecting C₂₊ production in isothermal hydrogenation. It was shown that C-C bond formation occurs to a great extent before the isothermal hydrogenation step.
