description: Deep convolutional neural networks are biologically driven models that resemble the hierarchical structure of primate visual cortex and are the current best predictors of the neural responses measured along the ventral stream. However, the networks lack topographic properties that are present in the visual cortex, such as orientation maps in primary visual cortex and category-selective maps in inferior temporal (IT) cortex. In this work, the minimum wiring cost constraint was approximated as an additional learning rule in order to generate topographic maps of the networks. We found that our topographic deep artificial neural networks (ANNs) can reproduce the category selectivity maps of the primate IT cortex.

Measurement of Higgs boson properties using the diphoton decay channel at the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment
Creators: name: Bonomally, Shameena
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2021

description: Measurements of the Higgs boson production cross-sections via the decay of the Higgs boson to two photons are reported. The measurements are made using data collected in the period 2016-2018 by the Compact Muon Solenoid detector at the Large Hadron Collider in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13TeV, amounting to an integrated luminosity of 137 fb−1. The production modes are measured in kinematic regions defined by the simplified template cross-section framework. Analysis categories targeting Higgs boson events, produced via vector boson fusion, vector boson associated production (where the vector boson decays hadronically), and a single top quark associated production (where the top quark decays hadronically), are specifically discussed. The total Higgs boson signal strength, relative to the Standard Model prediction, is measured to be 1.14+0.11 −0.10. Other properties of the Higgs boson are measured, including Standard Model signal strength modifiers, production cross-sections, and its couplings to other particles. The observed upper limit on the tH cross-section as a ratio to the Standard Model expectation is 9.47. All results are found to be in agreement with Standard Model predictions.

description: The observation of plasma focusing of a 28.5 GeV positron beam is reported. The plasma was formed by ionizing a nitrogen jet only 3 mm thick. Simultaneous focusing in both transverse dimensions was observed with effective focusing strengths of order Tesla per micron. The minimum area of the beam spot was reduced by a factor of 2.0 +/- 0.3 by the plasma. The longitudinal beam envelope was measured and compared with numerical calculations.
Theory and simulation of electronic and optical properties of charged defects in two-dimensional semiconductors
Creators: name: Aghajanian, Martik
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2021

description: Charged defects are frequently observed in quasi two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors such as monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) and few-layer black phosphorus (BP), and can have a significant effect on the performance of such materials in transport and optical applications. To aid the development of nanoscale devices fabricated using 2D materials, a detailed understanding of charged defects in these systems is needed. In this thesis, isolated charged defects are modelled in 2D semiconductors using the tight-binding approach which allows the use of large supercells which are required to capture the bound states that arise. The screened defect potential is described through an external potential determined via first-principles random-phase approximation. The binding energies and wavefunctions of bound states induced by charged defects in monolayer forms of MoS$_2$, WS$_2$, and BP as well as bilayer BP, were studied and the effect of varying the defect charge, defect height and the dielectric constant of possible substrates was investigated. It was found that for shallow defects in TMDCs, the binding energies of bound states can be mostly understood using effective mass theory. However, the presence of multiple low-energy valleys in the conduction and valence bands with different effective masses results in an interplay and competition between defect levels originating from different valleys. This results in resonant states that hybridise with the continuum bands, which has implications for transport, and results in the optical conductivity exhibiting excitonic resonances at energies below the optical band gap. Applying a similar analysis to monolayer BP, it was found that the substrate dielectric constant presents a promising means of control over both the donor and acceptor binding energies. In both monolayer and bilayer BP, it was found that the large difference between the armchair and zigzag effective masses of holes and electrons results in highly anisotropic wavefunctions of the defect states.
Stability and design of steel angle section members

Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2021

description: The stability and design of steel and stainless steel equal-leg angle section members with different loading and support conditions, including fixed-ended angles under axial compression and simply-supported angles under uniaxial bending, are addressed presently. First, elastic buckling behaviour is described; it is shown that torsional and local elastic buckling are similar in fixed-ended equal-leg angle section columns and equal-leg angles under minor-axis bending. In addition, it is shown that equal-leg angle section beams under minor-axis bending are susceptible to lateral-torsional buckling and Brazier flattening. An experimental investigation, comprising material testing, measurements of initial geometric imperfection and physical member tests, including 5 tests on fixed-ended hot-rolled stainless steel equal-leg angle section columns, 7 tests on hot-rolled steel and a further 7 tests on hot-rolled stainless steel equal-leg angle section beams, is then presented. The test results, in combination with existing experimental data on steel and stainless steel equal-leg angle section members collected from the literature, are then used for the validation of numerical (shell finite element) models, developed within the commercial package ABAQUS. Validation is performed by means of comparisons between test and numerical results, considering ultimate loads and failure modes, all of which are shown to be generally in good agreement. A numerical parametric study is then conducted considering both hot-rolled and cold-formed steel and stainless steel equal-leg angle section members with a wide range of cross-section geometries and member lengths. The behaviour and load-carrying capacity of the members is shown to be dependent on, not only the member slenderness, but also the ratio of the torsional-flexural to minor-axis flexural elastic buckling load and the local to lateral-torsional elastic buckling moment for columns and beams, respectively. Finally, on the basis of the above observations and data new design equations, suitable for incorporation into future revisions of Eurocode 3, for both steel and stainless steel equal-leg angle section members, are developed. It is demonstrated that the new proposals offer substantially improved accuracy and consistency in strength predictions compared to the existing codified design rules.

description: The claimed detection of large amounts of substructure in lensing flux anomalies, and in Milky Way stellar stream gaps statistics, has lead to a step change in constraints on simple warm dark matter models. In this study we compute predictions for the halo mass function both for these simple models and also for comprehensive particle physics models of sterile neutrinos and dark acoustic oscillations. We show that the mass function fit of Lovell et al. underestimates the number of haloes less massive than the half-mode mass, $M_\mathrm{hm}$ by a factor of 2, relative to the extended Press-Schechter (EPS) method. The alternative approach of applying EPS to the Viel et al. matter power spectrum fit instead suggests good agreement at $M_\mathrm{hm}$ relative to the comprehensive model matter power spectra results, although the number of haloes with mass $

Improving access to and uptake of early pulmonary rehabilitation following hospitalisation for acute exacerbations of COPD
Creators: name: Barker, Ruth Emily
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2021

description: Background: Substantial benefits are associated with early pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) following severe acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) requiring hospitalisation. However, referral for, and uptake of, early PR are poor. Methods and findings: In a prospective cohort study of 291 hospitalisations for AECOPD, COPD discharge bundles delivered by PR practitioners were associated with increased PR referral (60% vs 12%, p<0.001; adjusted odds ratio [OR]: 14.46, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 5.28 to 39.57) and uptake (40% vs 32%, p=0.001; adjusted OR: 8.60, 95% CI: 2.51 to 29.50) compared with non-PR practitioners. In a randomised controlled trial with convergent qualitative interviews, a co-designed education video delivered at hospital discharge did not improve post-hospitalisation PR uptake (41% usual care vs. 34% intervention group; p=0.37), referral, or completion. Six of fifteen interviewed participants from the intervention group did not recall receiving the video. Given the poor uptake of outpatient post-hospitalisation PR, a mixed methods systematic review was conducted to explore the feasibility, acceptability and clinical effectiveness of home-based models of PR in the post-AECOPD setting. Although home-based exercise training appeared to be feasible and acceptable to patients and healthcare professionals (HCPs), there were few trials and data was heterogenous regarding clinical effectiveness. A model of care integrating home-based exercise training and hospital at home care was co-designed by service users and HCPs. This was tested in a mixed methods feasibility study. The model of care was feasible and acceptable to patients, family carers and HCPs, and was not associated with adverse events, suggesting formal evaluation of clinical efficacy is warranted. Conclusions: Both referrer and patient factors contribute to poor referral and uptake rates for post-hospitalisation outpatient PR. Home-based PR is feasible and acceptable to patients, carers and HCPs; further research is needed to explore clinical efficacy and cost-effectiveness of post-hospitalisation home-based PR.

Representative plots of different depth of coverage detected in the sequenced pigs at a large duplication (DUP1 - SSC8: 41,223,212 - 41,783,660 bp) encompassing the KIT gene. Grey vertical bars represent the absolute coverage observed in four animals. The green dotted lines represent the median and 2*median coverage along SSC8. In order to determine the number of extra copies, we divided for each sequenced animal the average coverage observed at SSC8 by the average coverage observed at DUP1 (chr8: 41,223,212 - 41,783,660 bp). The number of additional copies ranged from 1 to 4. 16, 27, 4, 20, 2 and 1 animal had 1.5–1.9x, 2x, 2.1–2.4x, 2.5–2.9x and 3x the average coverage of SSC8 at DUP1, respectively. The average copy number was 2.07 and 2.19 in the dam and sire line, respectively. The 560 kb duplication (DUP1) encompasses two smaller duplications DUP2 and DUP3/4. DUP2 is 4.3 kb long and upstream, while DUP3 and DUP4 are 23 kb and 4.3 kb duplications downstream of the KIT gene.

description: We model a compact black hole-accretion disk system in the collapsar scenario with full transport, frequency dependent, general relativistic radiation magnetohydrodynamics. We examine whether or not winds from a collapsar disk can undergo rapid neutron capture (r-process) nucleosynthesis and significantly contribute to solar r-process abundances. We find the inclusion of accurate transport has significant effects on outflows, raising the electron fraction above $Y_{\rm e} \sim 0.3$ and preventing third peak r-process material from being synthesized. We analyze the time-evolution of neutrino processes and electron fraction in the disk and present a simple one-dimensional model for the vertical structure that emerges. We compare our simulation to semi-analytic expectations and argue that accurate neutrino transport and realistic initial and boundary conditions are required to capture the dynamics and nucleosynthetic outcome of a collapsar.

description: A spinning nonextremal D3-brane undergoes a phase transition to a naked singularity which, from the braneworld point of view, corresponds to the apparent graviton speed passing from subluminal to superluminal. We investigate this phase transition from the dual perspectives of braneworld scenarios and holography. We discuss the relevance of the thermodynamic stability domains of a spinning D3-brane to the physics of braneworld scenarios. We also describe various gravitational Lorentz violations which arise from static D3-branes.

description: The proliferation of smart home devices has created new opportunities for empirical research in ubiquitous computing, ranging from security and privacy to personal health. Yet, data from smart home deployments are hard to come by, and existing empirical studies of smart home devices typically involve only a small number of devices in lab settings. To contribute to data-driven smart home research, we crowdsource the largest known dataset of labeled network traffic from smart home devices from within real-world home networks. To do so, we developed and released IoT Inspector, an open-source tool that allows users to observe the traffic from smart home devices on their own home networks. Since April 2019, 4,322 users have installed IoT Inspector, allowing us to collect labeled network traffic from 44,956 smart home devices across 13 categories and 53 vendors. We demonstrate how this data enables new research into smart homes through two case studies focused on security and privacy. First, we find that many device vendors use outdated TLS versions and advertise weak ciphers. Second, we discover about 350 distinct third-party advertiser and tracking domains on smart TVs. We also highlight other research areas, such as network management and healthcare, that can take advantage of IoT Inspector's dataset. To facilitate future reproducible research in smart homes, we will release the IoT Inspector data to the public.

description: Living and non-living active matter consumes energy at the microscopic scale to drive emergent, macroscopic behavior including traveling waves and coherent oscillations. Recent work has characterized non-equilibrium systems by their total energy dissipation, but little has been said about how dissipation manifests in distinct spatiotemporal patterns. We introduce a novel measure of irreversibility we term the entropy production factor (EPF) to quantify how time reversal symmetry is broken in field theories across scales. We use the EPF to characterize a dynamical phase transition in simulations of the Brusselator, a prototypical biochemically motivated non-linear oscillator. The EPF quantifies the distribution of irreversibility across spatiotemporal frequencies as the Brusselator transitions from local to global coherent oscillations, bounding the energetic cost to establish spatially synchronized biochemical oscillations.

description: This paper is concerned with the approximation of the effective conductivity $σ(A,μ)$ associated to an elliptic operator $\nabla_x A(x,η) \nabla_x$ where for $x\in \R^d$, $d\geq 1$, $A(x,η)$ is a bounded elliptic random symmetric $d\times d$ matrix and $η$ takes value in an ergodic probability space $(X,μ)$. Writing $A^N(x,η)$ the periodization of $A(x,η)$ on the torus $T^d_N$ of dimension $d$ and side $N$ we prove that for $μ$-almost all $η$ $$ \lim_{N\to +\infty}σ(A^N,η)=σ(A,μ) $$ We extend this result to non-symmetric operators $\nabla_x (a+E(x,η)) \nabla_x$ corresponding to diffusions in ergodic divergence free flows ($a$ is $d\times d$ elliptic symmetric matrix and $E(x,η)$ an ergodic skew-symmetric matrix); and to discrete operators corresponding to random walks on $\Z^d$ with ergodic jump rates. The core of our result is to show that the ergodic Weyl decomposition associated to $Ł^2(X,μ)$ can almost surely be approximated by periodic Weyl decompositions with increasing periods, implying that semi-continuous variational formulae associated to $Ł^2(X,μ)$ can almost surely be approximated by variational formulae minimizing on periodic potential and solenoidal functions.

description: Zygonopus krekeleri Causey
Fig. 42, Map 3
 Zygonopus krekeleri Causey 1960: 79, figs. 10, 11.
 Types: Male holotype (AMNH) and male and female paratypes (FSCA) from Alpena Cave No. 1, Alpena, Randolph Co., West Virginia.
 Diagnosis: The gonopods are highly distinctive, as the lateral branch of the angiocoxite is suppressed and and the inner side of the coxite is drawn up into a strong, coarsely roughened lobe.
 Etymology: Named by Causey for Carl H. Krekeler, a coleopterist who supplied her with specimens for her revision.
 Male paratype: Length, 8.5 mm, width, 0.76 mm. Unpigmented, eyeless. Pregonopodal legs as described for Z. whitei. Gonopods (Fig. 42) robust; trichomes on anterior face of coxa suppressed, few in number; angiocoxite unbranched, 3 lateral coxal setae at base; median angle of coxite drawn into large, roughened subquadrate lobe; telopodite globose-quadrate, almost entirely concealing fimbriate branch. Ninth legpair as usual, tenth and eleventh legpairs with coxal glands.
 Female paratype: Length, 9.1 mm, width, 0.79 mm. Nonsexual characters as in male.
 Distribution: See Map 3 for selected records. Each of the following records verified by the examination of at least one male. WEST VIRGINIA: Randolph Co.: Alpena Cave No. 1, Alpena, 23 July 1957, C. Krekeler (AMNH, FSCA); Bowden Cave No. 1, 23 August 1966, J. Holsinger (FSCA); Crawford Cave, 23 July 1957, C. Krekeler (FSCA).
 Literature Records: Causey (1960) reports krekeleri from Bennett and Mill Run Caves in southern Tucker Co., WEST VIRGINIA. I did not find these specimens and the records (also mapped in Fong et al. 2007) are well south of the core distribution of the species. Fong et al. (2007) report krekeleri from Bonner Mountain Cave, Stewart Run Cave, and Stony Run Cave, Randoph Co., WEST VIRGINIA, and from Bob White Cave and Red Run Cave, Tucker Co., WEST VIRGINIA. I have not seen these specimens but the localities are tightly clustered in the core area for the species; they are mapped in Fong et al. (2007). FSCA has a sample from Dyer’s Cave, Hardy Co., WEST VIRGINIA, that Causey had determined as krekeleri, but the male no longer has gonopods (they were slide-mounted and the slide has disappeared). This is a very unlikely record, around 40 miles east of the others, in the Potomac drainage on the west flank of Shenandoah Mountain, and within the distribution of Z. whitei, which is now known from Grant Co. (see above). The record should be checked.
 Notes: Zygonopus krekeleri is a distinctive species found in the upper reaches of the Cheat River drainage and not closely related to its three congeners. More collecting is needed in Randolph and Tucker counties to delineate the distribution of Z. krekeleri.

description: The location of an astronomical observatory is a key factor that affects its scientific productivity. The best astronomical sites are generally those found at high altitudes. Several such sites in western China and the Tibetan plateau are presently under development for astronomy. One of these is Ali, which at over 5000 m is one of the highest astronomical sites in the world. In order to further investigate the astronomical potential of Ali, we have installed a lunar scintillometer, for the primary purpose of profiling atmospheric turbulence. This paper describes the instrument and technique, and reports results from the first year of observations. We find that ground layer (GL) turbulence at Ali is remarkably weak and relatively thin. The median seeing, from turbulence in the range 11- 500 m above ground is 0.34 arcsec, with seeing better than 0.26 arcsec occurring 25 per cent of the time. Under median conditions, half of the GL turbulence lies below a height of 62 m. These initial results, and the high altitude and relatively low temperatures, suggest that Ali could prove to be an outstanding site for ground-based astronomy.

description: Using periodic boundary conditions and a constant applied field, we have simulated current flow through an 8.125 Angstrom internal diameter, rigid, atomistic channel with polar walls in a rigid membrane using explicit ions and SPC/E water. Channel and bath currents were computed from ten 10-ns trajectories for each of 10 different conditions of concentration and applied voltage. An electric field was applied uniformly throughout the system to all mobile atoms. On average, the resultant net electric field falls primarily across the membrane channel, as expected for two conductive baths separated by a membrane capacitance. The channel is rarely occupied by more than one ion. Current-voltage relations are concentration-dependent and superlinear at high concentrations.

description: The effects of increasing concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide (C02) on agricultural yields are analyzed. It is argued that any positive effects on yields from C02 fertilization, demonstrated in controlled experiments, would be weak in farm conditions given water and nutrient limits. Furthermore, possible benefits would be more than offset by predicted consequences of climate change, ozone depletion, and additional gases created from fossil fuel combustion. The impact of including C02 fertilization on crop yield and economic welfare predictions is evaluated. The policy distorting potential of fragile claims is stressed

description: We used the WINERED spectrograph to perform near-infrared high-resolution spectroscopy (resolving power $R = 28$,000) of 13 young intermediate-mass stars in the Taurus star-forming region. Based on the presence of near- and mid-infrared continuum emission, young intermediate-mass stars can be classified into three different evolutionary stages: Phases I, II, and III in the order of evolution. Our obtained spectra ($λ= 0.91$--1.35\,$μ$m) depict \HeI $λ$10830 and P$β$ lines that are sensitive to magnetospheric accretion and winds. We also investigate five sources each for P$β$ and \ion{He}{1} lines that were obtained from previous studies along with our targets. We observe that the P$β$ profile morphologies in Phases I and II corresponded to an extensive variety of emission features; however, these features are not detected in Phase III. We also observe that the He I profile morphologies are mostly broad subcontinuum absorption lines in Phase I, narrow subcontinuum absorption lines in Phase II, and centered subcontinuum absorption features in Phase III. Our results indicate that the profile morphologies exhibit a progression of the dominant mass flow processes: stellar wind and probably magnetospheric accretion in the very early stage, magnetospheric accretion and disk wind in the subsequent stage, and no activities in the final stage. These interpretations further suggest that opacity in protoplanetary disks plays an important role in mass flow processes. Results also indicate that \ion{He}{1} absorption features in Phase III sources, associated with chromospheric activities even in such young phases, are characteristics of intermediate-mass stars.

description: Die dynamische Spieltheorie hat sich als ein effektiver Ansatz zur Modellierung und Analyse der Interaktion zwischen mehreren Akteuren oder Spielern in dynamischen Prozessen erwiesen. Um diese Theorie in realen Anwendungen umzusetzen, ist jedoch die Möglichkeit einer schnellen Identifikation der Ziele jedes Spielers entscheidend. Dieses Identifikationsproblem wird als inverses dynamisches Spiel bezeichnet. Hierfür präsentiert diese Dissertation Lösungen, die auf Beobachtungen der Spieleraktionen und der resultierenden Zustandstrajektorie basieren, welche die Entwicklung des Spiels über die Zeit beschreibt. Es werden zwei Arten von Methoden zur Lösung von inversen dynamischen Spielen entwickelt. Die erste besteht in der Anwendung von regelungstechnischen Methoden. Für die weitverbreitete Klasse der linear-quadratischen dynamischen Spiele werden zusätzlich explizite Mengen formuliert, die alle möglichen Lösungen des inversen Problems beschreiben. Der zweiten Methode liegen Verfahren des Inverse Reinforcement Learnings aus der Informatik zugrunde. Für beide Arten von Methoden werden mathematische Bedingungen formuliert, unter denen eine erfolgreiche Schätzung der Ziele aller Spieler garantiert ist. Ein simulativer Vergleich mit einem Verfahren aus dem Stand der Technik zeigt die höhere Effizienz der vorgestellten neuen Ansätze. Darüber hinaus werden die Methoden für die Identifikation von kooperativem menschlichen Verhalten in einem Lenkmanöver angewendet. Die entwickelten Ansätze für inverse dynamische Spiele ermöglichen die effiziente Identifikation von Spielerzielen und können in zahlreichen Anwendungsfeldern wie beispielsweise der Mensch-Maschine-Interaktion und der Verhaltensbeschreibung biologischer Systeme eingesetzt werden.

description: Structural roles define sets of structurally similar nodes that are more similar to nodes inside the set than outside, whereas communities define sets of nodes with more connections inside the set than outside. Roles based on structural similarity and communities based on proximity are fundamentally different but important complementary notions. Recently, the notion of structural roles has become increasingly important and has gained a lot of attention due to the proliferation of work on learning representations (node/edge embeddings) from graphs that preserve the notion of roles. Unfortunately, recent work has sometimes confused the notion of structural roles and communities (based on proximity) leading to misleading or incorrect claims about the capabilities of network embedding methods. As such, this paper seeks to clarify the misconceptions and key differences between structural roles and communities, and formalize the general mechanisms (e.g., random walks, feature diffusion) that give rise to community or role-based structural embeddings. We theoretically prove that embedding methods based on these mechanisms result in either community or role-based structural embeddings. These mechanisms are typically easy to identify and can help researchers quickly determine whether a method preserves community or role-based embeddings. Furthermore, they also serve as a basis for developing new and improved methods for community or role-based structural embeddings. Finally, we analyze and discuss applications and data characteristics where community or role-based embeddings are most appropriate.
Current detection of superradiance and induced entanglement of double quantum dot excitons

description: We propose to measure the superradiance effect by observing the current through a semiconductor double-dot ststem. An electron and a hole are injected separately into one of the quantum dots to form an exciton and then recombine radiatively. We find that the stationary current shows oscillatory behavior as one varies the inter-dot distance. The amplitude of oscillation can be increased by incorporating the system into a microcavity. Furthermore, the current is suppressed if the dot distance is small compared to the wavelength of the emitted photon. This photon trapping phenomenon generates the entangled state and may be used to control the emission of single photons at predetermined times.

description: We present the exact solution of the 1D Dirac equation for the inverse-square-root potential $1/\sqrt{x}$ for several configurations of vector, pseudo-scalar and scalar fields. Each fundamental solution of the problem can be written as an irreducible linear combination of two Hermite functions of a scaled and shifted argument. We derive the exact equations for bound-state energy eigenvalues and construct accurate approximations for the energy spectrum.

description: Urban regeneration and rural revitalization are becoming major policy initiatives in China, which requires new approaches for sustainability transitions. This paper reviewed the history of policy reforms and institutional changes and analysed the main challenges to sustainability transitions in China. The urban-rural systems were defined as a complex dynamic social-ecological system based on resilience thinking and transition theory. The notions of adaptation and transformation were applied to compose a framework to coordinate “resilience” with “sustainability”. The findings indicate that China’s urbanization has experienced the conservative development of restructuring socio-economic and political systems (before 1984), the fast industrialization and economic development leaned to cities (1984 to 2002), the rapid urbanization led by land expropriation and investment expansion (2002 to 2012), and the quality development transformation equally in urban and rural areas (since 2012). The sustainability transitions have been challenged by controversial institutional arrangements, concerning population mobility control, unequal social welfare, and incomplete property rights. A series of policy interventions should be designed and implemented accordingly with joint efforts of multiple stakeholders and based on the combined technocratic and bottom-up knowledge derived from proactive and conscious individuals and collectives through context-dependent social networks.

description: Viscous and gravitational flow instabilities cause a displacement front to break up into finger-like fluids. The detection and evolutionary analysis of these fingering instabilities are critical in multiple scientific disciplines such as fluid mechanics and hydrogeology. However, previous detection methods of the viscous and gravitational fingers are based on density thresholding, which provides limited geometric information of the fingers. The geometric structures of fingers and their evolution are important yet little studied in the literature. In this work, we explore the geometric detection and evolution of the fingers in detail to elucidate the dynamics of the instability. We propose a ridge voxel detection method to guide the extraction of finger cores from three-dimensional (3D) scalar fields. After skeletonizing finger cores into skeletons, we design a spanning tree based approach to capture how fingers branch spatially from the finger skeletons. Finally, we devise a novel geometric-glyph augmented tracking graph to study how the fingers and their branches grow, merge, and split over time. Feedback from earth scientists demonstrates the usefulness of our approach to performing spatio-temporal geometric analyses of fingers.

Molecular gas and dust in NGC4550: A galaxy with two counterrotating stellar disks

description: We report the detection of 1 10^7 M_sun of molecular gas in the central region of the S0/E7 galaxy NGC4550, inferred from observations of CO(1-0) emission. Dust is detected in HST WFPC2 images and found to be asymmetrically distributed around the nucleus, only extending to a galactocentric distance of 7'' (600 pc). The shape of the CO emission profile is consistent with a molecular gas distribution following the dust. The distribution of the dust and gas in the center could be the result of an m=1 instability, which is the fastest growing unstable mode in counterrotating stellar disks. On a global scale the molecular gas in NGC4550 is stable against gravitational collapse but nevertheless star formation appears to be ongoing with normal star formation efficiency and gas consumption time scales. The stellar velocity dispersion in NGC4550 resembles that of elliptical galaxies. It is therefore likely that a hot X-ray emitting plasma limits the lifetime of the molecular gas, that must arise from a recent (<1 Gyr) accretion event.
