description: Using graph theory based on Adinkras, we consider once again the study of extremal black branes in the framework of quantum information. More precisely, we propose a one to one correspondence between qubit systems, Adinkras and certain extremal black branes obtained from type IIA superstring compactified on T^n. We accordingly interpret the real Hodge diagram of T^n as the geometry of a class of Adinkras formed by 2^n bosonic nodes representing n qubits. In this graphic representation, each node encodes information on the qubit quantum states and the charges of the extremal black branes built on T^n. The correspondence is generalized to n superqubits associated with odd and even geometries on the real supermanifold T^{n|n}. Using a combinatorial computation, general expressions describing the number of the bosonic and the fermionic states are obtained.

Mass transfer, loss and dynamical evolution of debris discs in young open clusters
Creators: name: Hands, Thomas
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018

description: We perform high-N, direct summation N-body simulations of the early phases of open cluster evolution. The stars in our clusters host populations of test particles arranged in Kuiper-belt style planetesimal discs. We evolve the clusters and debris discs simultaneously in one simulation, such that the exact cluster potential is known at each time-step, and no approximations are required to determine the effect the cluster environment has on the planetesimals. We show that the early stages of evolution for Hyades-style clusters readily lead to the transfer of planetesimals between stars, free-floating planetesimals (such as A/2017 U1), and dynamically excited planetesimal discs. We also show that planetesimals captured from the stellar birth environment are not necessarily dynamically distinct from those native to a star. We discuss the implications of our results for both our own solar system and exoplanetary systems.

REMARKS According to Hassler (1911), J. guaranitica differs from J. evolvuloides by its seeds measuring up to 3.5 mm long, while J. evolvuloides seeds are up to 2.2 mm long. We also found that venation on leaves, ciliate margins and glandular trichomes are good characters to separate the species. Jacquemontia guaranitica is also very close to J. anomala and J.warmingii, all of them with herbaceous habit and scandent stems up to 50 cm long, turning reddish in sicco, sparsely hirsute stems and leaves, lamina elliptic and with 2-3 pairs of eucamptodromous veins.Useful characters for their distinction are shown in Table 1.

description: Antike Stifterinnen und Stifter sind Teil eines philanthropischen Phänomens, das sich nicht erst im frühen Christentum etabliert hat, sondern bereits in der römischen und griechischen Zeit weit verbreitet war. Dennoch ist es gerade die Zeit des frühen Christentums, die durch ihre Vielzahl an erhaltenen Mosaikinschriften, vor allem in den Gebieten der südlichen Levante, einen umfassenden Einblick in die Materie bietet. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit soll vor allem historischen sowie sozialen Aspekten und Fragen rund um Stifterinnen nachgegangen werden. Hierbei ist zu klären, welche rechtlichen bzw. sozialen Möglichkeiten Frauen hatten, um als Stifterinnen in Kirchen aktiv zu werden, und in welcher Anzahl sie in Mosaikinschriften sowie Darstellungen vorkommen. Zu untersuchen ist darüber hinaus, in welchen Gebieten sich Inschriften von Stifterinnen finden lassen. Dabei wird analysiert, ob sie vorwiegend im urbanen oder im ländlichen Kontext angesiedelt waren. Auch Fragen über mögliche soziale, religiöse und gesellschaftliche Positionen und Stellungen der Stifterinnen sollen anhand von Inschriften und den darin enthaltenen Informationen aufgearbeitet werden.
description: The philanthropic phenomenon of private donors, founders and benefactors is long established throughout the Greco-Roman antiquity. The continuation of this tradition in early Christianity is especially visible in countless mosaic inscriptions spread all over the region of the southern Levante. In the course of this thesis questions on historic and social aspects will be focused on female donors and benefactresses, mentioned in these mosaic dedication inscriptions. The analysis sheds light on legal and social possibilities of women to become donors in early Christian communities, as well as the numbers in which female donors occur in dedication inscriptions and depictions. Furthermore aspects on geographical distribution and changes in epigraphical culture will be taken into account. Aiding to understand if female donors can be connected to urban or rural contexts of settlement. Additionally the thesis aims to analyse questions on social and religious ranks and positions of female donors and benefactresses based on information given within the dedication inscriptions.

description: In large scale cosmological hydrodynamic simulations simplified sub-grid models for gas accretion onto black holes and AGN feedback are commonly used. Such models typically depend on various free parameters, which are not well constrained. We present a new advanced model containing a more detailed description of AGN feedback, where those parameters reflect the results of recent observations. The model takes the dependency of these parameters on the black hole properties into account and describes a continuous transition between the feedback processes acting in the so-called radio-mode and quasar-mode. In addition, we implement a more detailed description of the accretion of gas onto black holes by distinguishing between hot and cold gas accretion. Our new implementations prevent black holes from gaining too much mass, particularly at low redshifts so that our simulations are now very successful in reproducing the observed present-day black hole mass function. Our new model also suppresses star formation in massive galaxies slightly more efficiently than many state-of-the-art models. Therefore, the simulations that include our new implementations produce a more realistic population of quiescent and star-forming galaxies compared to recent observations, even if some discrepancies remain. In addition, the baryon conversion efficiencies in our simulation are - except for the high mass end - consistent with observations presented in literature over the mass range resolved by our simulations. Finally, we discuss the significant impact of the feedback model on the low-luminous end of the AGN luminosity function.

Disc evolution in different cluster environments
Creators: name: Haworth, Thomas
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018

description: Planet forming discs typically survive for a few up to around ten million years. During this time the parent star still resides within its natal cluster and hence may be subject to environmental effects such as gravitational encounters (e.g. as in the case of RW Aur) or irradiation by other cluster members. Recent research has demonstrated that irradiation generally dominates (Winter et al. 2018). I'll present the latest results from a large programme of research into photoevaporation of discs as a function of UV field strength, stellar mass and disc mass/radius. This includes the upcoming FRIED grid of publicly available mass loss rates that will be valuable for viscous evolutionary models of discs and can also be used to compute the evolution of discs in star cluster formation and feedback calculations (Haworth et al. in prep). This grid can also be used to trivially estimate mass loss rates for real systems. I'll also demonstrate that the proto Trappist-1 disc-to-star mass ratio has to be high at ~0.3, but the disc is still expected to be stable. This has important consequences for models trying to explain the observed Trappist-1 planets (Haworth et al. 2018)

description: Complementation of Büchi automata has been studied for over five decades since the formalism was introduced in 1960. Known complementation constructions can be classified into Ramsey-based, determinization-based, rank-based, and slice-based approaches. Regarding the performance of these approaches, there have been several complexity analyses but very few experimental results. What especially lacks is a comparative experiment on all of the four approaches to see how they perform in practice. In this paper, we review the four approaches, propose several optimization heuristics, and perform comparative experimentation on four representative constructions that are considered the most efficient in each approach. The experimental results show that (1) the determinization-based Safra-Piterman construction outperforms the other three in producing smaller complements and finishing more tasks in the allocated time and (2) the proposed heuristics substantially improve the Safra-Piterman and the slice-based constructions.

High angular resolution campaign reveals a specific evolutionary stage of a pre-transitional disk
Creators: name: Kluska, Jacques
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018

description: HD179218 is a Herbig star surrounded by a pre-transitional disk. Its extremely large apparent size in the near-infrared makes it an outlier in the sample of Herbig stars observed by interferometry. We present the results of an observational campaign on this object, involving different high angular resolution techniques, such as polarimetric direct imaging (SPHERE/ZIMPOL), aperture masking (KECK/NIRC2) and long baseline interferometric instruments (VLTI/AMBER-MIDI-PIONIER and CHARA/CLASSIC-CLIMB), and different wavelengths, from visible to mid-infrared. Combining these observations led us to conclusions that could not be reached taking each of these observations alone. We constrained the radius of the disk rim in the mid-infrared to be ~10au. The emission in the near-infrared is extending from the star up to the disk rim, having a high temperature (~1500K). We postulated that quantum heated particles can be responsible for such a high temperature that far from the star. This points toward a disk that is in a peculiar evolutionary state where the inner disk was accreted onto the star and the rest of the disk is being photo-evaporated by high energy photons from the star.

description: In this paper, we propose a hierarchical game approach to model the energy efficiency maximization problem where transmitters individually choose their channel assignment and power control. We conduct a thorough analysis of the existence, uniqueness and characterization of the Stackelberg equilibrium. Interestingly, we formally show that a spectrum orthogonalization naturally occurs when users decide sequentially about their transmitting carriers and powers, delivering a binary channel assignment. Both analytical and simulation results are provided for assessing and improving the performances in terms of energy efficiency and spectrum utilization between the simultaneous-move game (with synchronous decision makers), the social welfare (in a centralized manner) and the proposed Stackelberg (hierarchical) game. For the first time, we provide tight closed-form bounds on the spectral efficiency of such a model, including correlation across carriers and users. We show that the spectrum orthogonalization capability induced by the proposed hierarchical game model enables the wireless network to achieve the spectral efficiency improvement while still enjoying a high energy efficiency.

title: Musik und Klänge in den Vesuv-Städten anhand archäologischer und ikonographischer Quellen
Creators: name: Hois, Amélie
Year: 2022

description: Die vorliegende Masterarbeit soll einen Überblick zur Welt der Musik und das Leben der Musiker*innen in der antiken Vesuv-Region, mit einem Fokus auf Pompeji und Herculaneum, bis ins Jahr 79 n. Chr. geben. Diese Gegend weist eine sehr vielfältige Geschichte auf, die durch einen regen kulturellen Austausch geprägt war. Aufgrund jahrzehntelangen Desinteresses an der Musik der Römer und der Mutmaßung ihrer „Unmusikalität“ im Vergleich zu ihren griechischen Vorfahren wurde zu Beginn der ersten Grabungen im 18. Jahrhundert den Funden antiker Instrumente zuerst keine Beachtung geschenkt, was folglich zu einer mangelhaften Dokumentation führte wodurch vieles verloren ging. In dieser Arbeit wird versucht, anhand der zahlreichen Darstellungen von Musiker*innen, Instrumenten und Musikszenen, sowie der materiellen Zeugnisse antiker Instrumentenfunde aus dem Vesuv-Gebiet das Leben der Berufsmusiker*innen und ihre Aufgabenbereiche, die Bedeutung und Stellung von Musik und die Verwendung verschiedener Instrumente in unterschiedlichen Kontexten in den Städten des Vesuv-Gebiets zu dokumentieren und zu untersuchen. Wie sehr sich die antiken Bewohner*innen der Vesuv- Region mit der Musik und den Musiker*innen identifizierten, lässt sich an der Art und Weise erkennen, wie sie dargestellt wurden und wird durch die vielzähligen Funde antiker Instrumente verdeutlicht. Die ikonographischen Zeugnisse liefern dazu auch zahlreiche Informationen zu den unterschiedlichen Tätigkeiten der Berufsmusiker*innen, sowie Informationen zur Mehrstimmigkeit. Sie helfen uns zu verstehen welche Klänge verschiedener Instrumente miteinander vermischt und gleichzeitig gespielt wurden. Die materielle Hinterlassenschaft antiker Instrumente aus Pompeji und Herculaneum ermöglicht nicht nur einige dieser zu rekonstruieren und folglich den Klang des antiken Vesuv-Gebietes wieder herzustellen, sondern unterstützt die Aussagen und Interpretationen der ikonographischen Zeugnisse. Die Untersuchung dieser Arbeit beschränkt sich nicht nur auf Details oder einzelne Instrumente, sondern umfasst auch eine globale Analyse des Gebietes, den Musik und Klänge im Alltag des antiken Vesuv-Gebiets einnehmen. Musik war im antiken Pompeji allgegenwärtig, wie die Visualisierung der räumlichen Analyse zeigt. Die Wiederentdeckung der Musik, der Klänge, der Instrumente, der Musikerinnen und Musiker, der Orte und Gelegenheiten, an denen sie spielten, ist auch heute noch lebendig.
The dimming events of the CTTS RW Aur A (poster)
Creators: name: Koutoulaki, Maria
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018

description: The study of the inner gaseous disc of YSOs is crucial to understand the physical processes ruling disc evolution and its connection with planet formation. In this poster, I will present our results on the inner disc properties of the CTTS RW AurA. The RW Aur system has captured the attention of astronomers for its dimming events. By using X-SHOOTER spectra in the bright and dim states, we compare the NIR CO emission in order to shed light on this mystery. In general, the CO emission traces a warm (T=2000-5000K) and dense (NCO>1e12cm-2) gas as expected in the innermost region of discs. Both states need a cool (T=3000K) and dense (NCO=1e21cm-2) gas to reproduce the observations, with the emitting region located just inside the dust sublimation radius. By comparing the SED (from ~300 to ~1000 nm) and the CO emission of both states, we find that the dimming can be due to absorption by a layer of large grains with optical depth slowly declining from 2.8 to 1.6. The accretion rate remains constant (Macc~2e-8 Mo/yr) if one assumes that the same layer of dust also occults the accretion line emitting region. This excludes accretion bursts as the main cause of RWAurA brightness variability.

description: The reaction of Re(CO)5Br with deprotonated 1H-(5-(2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine)pyrid-2-yl)tetrazole yields a triangular assembly formed by tricarbonyl Re(I) vertices. Photophysical measurements reveal blue-green emission with a maximum at 520 nm, 32 % quantum yield, and 2430 ns long-lived excited state decay lifetime in deaerated dichloromethane solution. Coordination of lanthanoid ions to the terpyridine units red-shifts the emission to 570 nm and also reveals efficient (90 %) and fast sensitisation of both Eu(III) and Yb(III) at room temperature, with a similar rate constant kET on the order of 107 s−1. Efficient sensitisation of Eu(III) from Re(I) is unprecedented, especially when considering the close proximity in energy between the donor and acceptor excited states. On the other hand, comparative measurements at 77 K reveal that energy transfer to Yb(III) is two orders of magnitude slower than that to Eu(III). A two-step mechanism of sensitisation is therefore proposed, whereby the rate-determining step is a thermally activated energy transfer step between the Re(I) centre and the terpyridine functionality, followed by rapid energy transfer to the respective Ln(III) excited states. At 77 K, the direct Re(I) to Eu(III) energy transfer seems to proceed via a ligand-mediated superexchange Dexter-type mechanism.

description: Quantum electrodynamics theory of the resonance Raman scattering is developed for an atom in a close proximity to a carbon nanotube. The theory predicts a dramatic enhancement of the Raman intensity in the strong atomic coupling regime to nanotube plasmon near-fields. This resonance scattering is a manifestation of the general electromagnetic surface enhanced Raman scattering effect, and can be used in designing efficient nanotube based optical sensing substrates for single atom detection, precision spontaneous emission control, and manipulation.

description: The subtraction method for the matching between the matrix element (ME) and parton shower (PS), that has been developed for combining 0-jet and 1-jet production processes in association with electroweak-boson production in hadron collisions, is extended to multi-jet production. In order to include multi-jet MEs, we have to address the soft-gluon divergence together with the collinear divergence. We introduce an approximation which simultaneously reproduces both divergences in a form suitable for application to our subtraction method. The alteration in the subtraction can be compensated by applying an appropriate correction to corresponding non-radiative events. We demonstrate that $W$ + 0, 1, and 2 jet production processes can be consistently combined using the developed matching method.

description: Düsseldorf, 30. Juni 1981: Das Urteil des bis dahin längsten Prozesses wegen nationalsozialistischer Gewaltverbrechen in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland ergeht. Im sog. Düsseldorfer Majdanek-Verfahren wird u.a. Hildegard Lächert, ehemalige Aufseherin des Konzentrations- und Vernichtungslagers Lublin-Majdanek, wegen Beihilfe zum Mord zu einer Freiheitsstrafe von 12 Jahren verurteilt. Doch die Milde des Urteils hat massive Proteste zur Folge. Dass die „Blutige Brigida“ von Majdanek als Gehilfin davonkommt, scheint in Anbetracht des Ausmaßes ihrer Gewalttaten unverständlich. Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich daher mit Hildegard Lächert als ehemalige Aufseherin im Auge der NS-Strafverfolgung. Vor dem Hintergrund stereotypisierter weiblicher Täterschaft in den Nachkriegsdiskursen und den damit anknüpfenden Exkulpationsstrategien werden Lächerts Entschuldungs- und Verteidigungsmuster vor Gericht sowie in der filmischen Darstellung des Verfahrens von Eberhard Fechner in den Blick genommen. Mit dem Ziel, geschlechterspezifische Konnotationen in Hildegard Lächerts Entlastungsstrategien vor dem Düsseldorfer Landgericht sowie in Fechners „Der Prozess“ aufzuspüren, wird einerseits gezeigt, dass die Generierung des eigenen Opferstatus Lächert als Hauptentschuldungsstrategie dient und andererseits, wann dieser Opferstatus zu einem spezifisch und explizit weiblichen wird. Um schließlich das Bild einer Gehilfin und nicht das einer Mit-/Täterin zu zeichnen, macht sich die ehemalige KZ- Aufseherin gesellschaftlich gefestigte Weiblichkeitsbilder geschickt zu nutze.
description: Düsseldorf, June 30th, 1981: The verdict of the most extended trial against former concentration camp staff in the Federal Republic of Germany is pronounced. In the so-called Majdanek Trial Hildegard Lächert, a former guard at the Lublin concentration camp, is sentenced to 12 years imprisonment for accessory to murder. However, the leniency of the sentence has resulted in massive protests. The fact that the "Bloody Brigida" of Majdanek got off as an aider and abettor seems incomprehensible given the extent of her violence. This master thesis, therefore, deals with Hildegard Lächert as a former SS guard in the eye of the prosecution of Nazi crimes against the backdrop of stereotyped female perpetration in post-war discourses and the exculpation strategies linked to it. Furthermore, Lächert's patterns of apology and defense in court and the cinematic representation of the trial “Der Prozess” by Eberhard Fechner are examined. To trace gender-specific connotations in Hildegard Lächert's exculpatory strategies, it will be displayed how the inception of Lächert's victim status serves as her primary exculpatory strategy, along with an examination of when this proclaimed victim status becomes specifically and explicitly female. Finally leading to a close analysis of Lächert's clever use of socially consolidated images of femininity to paint a picture of an accomplice rather than a co-/perpetrator.

description: The paper presents a concept/technique to compress and synthesize complex material morphologies that is based on Wang tilings. Specifically, a microstructure is stored in a set of Wang tiles and its reconstruction is performed by means of a stochastic tiling algorithm. A substantial part of the study is devoted to the setup of optimal parameters of the automatic tile design by means of parametric studies with statistical descriptors at heart. The performance of the method is demonstrated on four two-dimensional two-phase target systems, monodisperse media with hard and soft discs, sandstone, and high porosity metallic foam.

Take a wider look: Linking young stars, clouds, and galaxies through stellar accretion rates
Creators: name: Mendigutía, Ignacio
Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: The mass accretion rate and the circumstellar gas disk mass of young, Class II stars are linearly correlated. Similarly, the star formation rate linearly correlates with the dense gas mass involved in the formation of stars for distant galaxies and star-forming clouds in our Galaxy. This poster shows that both relations could be unified. We find a statistically significant correlation between the rate of gas transformed into stars and the mass of gas directly involved on star formation, ranging 16 orders of magnitude and encompassing kpc-size galaxies, pc-size star forming clouds within our Galaxy, and young stars with au-size protoplanetary disks. We propose a bottom-up explanation, suggesting that a relation between the stellar mass accretion rate and the total circumstellar mass (disk+envelope in Class 0/I stars) drives the correlation in clouds (hosting stars) and galaxies (hosting clouds). Therefore, the main observational consequence is that the accretion rate and the circumstellar mass of embedded Class 0/I stars should also correlate with a slope and intercept similar to those observed in Class II objects. If our hypothesis is confirmed, theories aiming to explain the correlations for stars, clouds, and galaxies should not remain isolated from each other. Instead, all scales and physical systems involved in one single, global correlation must be considered. For details see Mendigutía, Lada, & Oudmaijer, 2018, A&A 618, A119.

description: Maintaining dynamic balance is essential during walking, with foot-placement playing a critical role. Situations requiring increased cognitive attention may impair an individual’s ability to actively control their balance. While dual-task studies have analyzed walking-while-talking conditions, few studies have focused on how cognitive loads impact balance control during steady-state walking and more difficult motor tasks, such as walking with foot-placement perturbations. Individuals recover from a loss of balance using an ankle or hip strategy, but how cognitive loads effect these recovery strategies remains unknown. The overall goal of this research was to investigate the influence of cognitive loads on balance control using two aims. The first aim assessed how individuals prioritize cognitive resources and control balance during steady-state walking with increasing cognitive loads. Aim 2 investigated how individuals prioritize cognitive resources to control their balance during dual-task walking while experiencing foot-placement perturbations. Fifteen young healthy adults performed a cognitive single-task condition (spelling-while-standing) and four treadmill walking conditions (no cognitive load, attentive listening, spelling short words backwards and spelling long words backwards), each performed during steady-state (Aim 1) and perturbed conditions (Aim 2). No specific task-prioritization instructions were given. During the perturbed trials, medial and lateral foot-placement perturbations were applied before heel-strike during random steps. Aim 1 showed that cognitive performance did not change between single- and dual-task conditions, but balance control decreased during the spelling dual-tasks. Aim 2 found that cognitive performance decreased between unperturbed and perturbed conditions. While balance control decreased during perturbed relative to unperturbed walking, the additional cognitive load had little effect during the perturbations. Lastly, the balance recovery strategy was unaffected by the addition of a cognitive load. The results from Aim 1 highlight that in steady-state walking, balance control decreases during treadmill walking with increased cognitive loads, but cognitive performance does not change, suggesting that participants prioritized cognitive performance over balance control. In contrast to steady-state walking, Aim 2 found that individuals prioritize their balance over cognitive task performance when faced with foot-placement perturbations. Overall, these results emphasize the flexibility of task-prioritization in young adults and provide a foundation for future studies analyzing neurologically impaired populations

description: Die Masterarbeit behandelt die Spanischen Grippe in Wien und untersucht ihren Einfluss auf Sterbematriken der Jahre 1913-1923 im heutigen 23. Wiener Gemeindebezirk. Die Jahre sind derart gewählt, damit sie einen Vergleich der Mortalität vor und während der Pandemie zulassen. Weil der Bezirk zu jener Zeit aus acht separaten Orten bestand, werden die jeweiligen Dörfer zunächst einzeln bearbeitet und danach ein Gesamtbild aller Daten zusammengefasst. Mit Hilfe der Sterbebücher werden folgende Statistiken erstellt: Gesamtmortalität des Untersuchungszeitraums, Mortalität pro Jahr, Anzahl der Grippeverstorbenen, Folgetode einer Influenzainfektion und Geschlechterverhältnis. Nachdem die Spanische Influenza in Wien wenig erforscht ist, soll die Abhandlung einen Beitrag zur Erweiterung der Stadt- bzw. Bezirksgeschichte darstellen.

description: Using a multiphase transport model (AMPT) we calculate the elliptic, $v_2$, and triangular, $v_3$, Fourier coefficients of the two-particle azimuthal correlation function in proton-nucleus (p+Pb) and peripheral nucleus-nucleus (Pb+Pb) collisions. Our results for $v_3$ are in a good agreement with the CMS data collected at the Large Hadron Collider. The $v_2$ coefficient is very well described in p+Pb collisions and is underestimated for higher transverse momenta in Pb+Pb interactions. The characteristic mass ordering of $v_2$ in p+Pb is reproduced whereas for $v_3$ this effect is not observed. We further predict the pseudorapidity dependence of $v_2$ and $v_3$ in p+Pb and observe that both are increasing when going from a proton side to a Pb-nucleus side. Predictions for the higher order Fourier coefficients, $v_4$ and $v_5$, in p+Pb are also presented.

description: The collinear factorization at twist-3 for Drell-Yan processes is studied with the motivation to solve the discrepancy in literature about the single spin asymmetry in the lepton angular distribution, and to show how QCD gauge invariance is realized in the hadronic tensor. The obtained result here agrees with our early result derived with a totally different approach. In addition to the asymmetry we can construct another two observables to identify the spin effect. We show that the gauge invariance of different contributions in the hadronic tensor is made in different ways by summing the effects of gluon exchanges. More interestingly is that we can show that the virtual correction to one structure function of the hadronic tensor, hence to some weighted SSA observables, is completely determined by the quark form factor. This will simplify the calculation of higher order corrections. The corresponding result in semi-inclusive DIS is also given for the comparison with Drell-Yan processes.

MHD protostar-disc interaction.

description: Magnetospheric accretion of circumstellar disc material is a mechanism that affects a variety of astrophysical objects, from young low-mass stellar objects to compact objects, such as white dwarves and neutron stars. Within this picture, the accretion flow in their inner circumstellar disc is channeled along the stellar magnetic field lines and ultimately shocks the stellar surface, inducing an exchange of mass, angular momentum and energy that can spin up/down the star itself and modify its intrinsic evolution. We will look at preliminary results of non-ideal 2.5-dimensional simulations of the surroundings of magnetised rotating young stars and explore how different parameters of the problem can affect the accretion dynamics and change their spin evolution and emission properties.
Solid-state and intercalation chemistry of nickel-tellurate positive electrodes for lithium and sodium secondary batteries

description: Current cathode chemistries for lithium and sodium secondary batteries are pushing their theoretical limit. Materials exploration on novel structures and compositions is essential to discover new phenomena that can guide the design of next-generation cathodes for these systems. The phase chemistry of the alkali-ion nickel-tellurates has been largely unexplored, with only four materials being presented in the literature. Of these four materials, only three of them have been electrochemically characterized. In this dissertation, the solid-state and intercalation chemistry of the alkali-ion nickel-tellurates is explored further for lithium and sodium secondary batteries. The structural nuances of many of the synthesized materials required both bulk and localized techniques. X-ray diffraction paired with solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy were used to meet this requirement. Once the structure of each composition was fully understood, the electrochemical intercalation/deintercalation process was assessed to evaluate the relationship between the structure of the material and its electrochemical intercalation chemistry. The sodium nickel-tellurates could always be synthesized in the layered structure and showed promising structural features that led to the suppression of vacancy ordering in the interlayer space, and of the layered-layered phase transitions common in Na [subscript x] MO₂ layered oxides, leading to voltage-composition curves that are reminiscent of LiMO₂ layered oxides. The lithium nickel-tellurates in this work were more structurally diverse, but only a partially disordered rock salt phase could be synthesized directly via solid-state synthesis owing to the similarity in ionic radius between Li⁺ and Ni²⁺. To obtain layered nickel-tellurate structures with lithium, ion-exchange with the sodium analogue compositions was necessary; the ion-exchange procedure led to unusual site occupation for lithium in the layered structure motif. Among other factors, electrochemical performance of the lithium phases was always hindered by Ni²⁺ transfer to vacant lithium sites that blocked the diffusion pathway of lithium for the insertion/extraction process
