Temperature effect of positron annihilation in argon
Creators: name: Miller, Douglas Burton
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Lifetime techniques have been used to measure the direct annihilation rate in Argon gas as a function of temperature. In order to accomplish this, a pressure chamber capable of holding 10 amagats of gas at 300°C was designed and constructed. The temperature of the Argon gas was varied between 140°K and 480°K. The results were collected at specific temperatures for gas densities of 8.0 and 10.2 amagats. The direct annihilation rate was found to be a decreasing function of temperature meaning it is a decreasing function of velocity. The direct annihilation rate decreased by 30% over the range investigated. Various functions in temperature were fitted to the results by the least squares technique. The shoulder width-density product was found to be constant with temperature indicating that the shoulder annihilations take place at velocities significantly greater than thermal velocities. The statistics on the ortho-positronium lifetime were not sufficiently good to see a temperature variation of this component. A comparison of an electric result with these results gave a position - Argon atom scattering rate of 9.0xl0¹¹secˉ¹amˉ¹. This was assuming that the scattering rate was independent of velocity.

description: We introduce a model for yielding, inspired by fracture models and the failure of a sheared granular medium in which the applied shear is resisted by self-organized force chains. The force chains in the granular medium (GM) are considered as a bundle of fibres of finite strength amongst which stress is randomly redistributed after any other fibre breaks under excessive load. The model provides an exponential distribution of the internal stress and a log-normal shaped distribution of failure stress, in agreement with experimental observations. The model displays critical behaviour which approaches mean field as the number of random neighbours $k$ becomes large and also displays a failure strength which remains finite in the limit of infinite size. From comparison with different models it is argued that this is an effect of uncorrelation. All these macroscopic properties appear statistically stable with respect to the choice of the chains' initial strength distribution. The investigated model is relevant for all systems in which some generic external load or pressure is borne by a number of units, independent of one another except when failure of a unit causes load transfer to some random choice of neighbouring units.

description: New developments of antimicrobial implant surfaces doped with copper (Cu) ions may minimize the risk of implant-associated infections. However, experimental evaluation of the Cu release is influenced by various test parameters. The aim of our study was to evaluate the Cu release characteristics in vitro according to the storage fluid and surface roughness. Plasma immersion ion implantation of Cu (Cu-PIII) and pulsed magnetron sputtering process of a titanium copper film (Ti-Cu) were applied to titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) samples with different surface finishing of the implant material (polished, hydroxyapatite and corundum blasted). The samples were submersed into either double-distilled water, human serum, or cell culture medium. Subsequently, the Cu concentration in the supernatant was measured using atomic absorption spectrometry. The test fluid as well as the surface roughness can alter the Cu release significantly, whereby the highest Cu release was determined for samples with corundum-blasted surfaces stored in cell medium.

description: Is the closest product state to a symmetric entangled multiparticle state also symmetric? This question has appeared in the recent literature concerning the geometric measure of entanglement. First, we show that a positive answer can be derived from results concerning symmetric multilinear forms and homogeneous polynomials, implying that the closest product state can be chosen to be symmetric. We then prove the stronger result that the closest product state to any symmetric multiparticle quantum state is necessarily symmetric. Moreover, we discuss generalizations of our result and the case of translationally invariant states, which can occur in spin models.

The exact value of the nuclear transition frequency is unknown so far; therefore, we have developed a formalism that can be used for any nuclear transition frequency. We have calculated positions of several high-lying even-parity states which are not presented in experimental atomic spectra databases. We have found their energy levels and g factors.

description: Truncated Taylor series representations of invariant manifolds are abundant in numerical computations. We present an aposteriori method to compute the convergence radii and error estimates of analytic parametrisations of non-resonant local invariant manifolds of a saddle of an analytic vector field, from such a truncated series. This enables us to obtain local enclosures, as well as existence results, for the invariant manifolds.

description: Industrialization and urban expansion can result in the contamination of shallow groundwater by micro-organics (MO) in the Pearl River Delta (PRD), China. This study provides a regional scale assessment of MO contaminants in shallow groundwater in the PRD, investigating the occurrence and distribution of different compound groups, highlighting the relationship between MOs and aquifers, and between MOs and land-use. The main influence of the vadose zone and regional socioeconomic development on each relationship is also analyzed. Twenty-one compounds were detected, with naphthalene, acetophenone, 2-methylnaphthalene and chloroform recording the highest frequencies (1.4–3.1%), 2-methylphenol (328 μg/L), 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene (59 μg/L) and 2,4-dimethylphenol (53.4 μg/L) recorded the highest concentrations. Due to differences in lithology and thickness of the vadose zone over different aquifer groups, notable differences in MOs were recorded between aquifer groups. Twenty-one compounds were also detected with the highest concentrations in Granular aquifers; Karst aquifers recorded the lowest concentration and fewest number of compounds. Different land-use types have also resulted in notable differences in MO contamination, particularly for natural land-use types and urban-industrial types. Natural land recorded both the smallest number of compounds and the lowest concentrations; urban and industrial land-use type had 14 compounds not recorded in other land-use types. Principal component analysis results indicated that urbanization and industrialization in the PRD region were the main driving mechanisms of groundwater MO contamination (via discharges of untreated wastewater). This finding was also verified by the strong positive relationships between waste water levels, discharge volume and, chloride concentrations and MO of the shallow groundwater in the PRD.

description: Deflections in horizontal flexural members do occur and are influenced by several mechanisms, some of which have cumulative effect. With the contemporary practice of using higher working stresses and more slender members, deflections are greater than those that occurred with past construction methods. With finishing and cladding materials being installed to close tolerances, excessive deflections cannot be tolerated unless they are adequately predicted and allowed for. In many cases it may be necessary to redesign structural spanning members to reduce the total ultimate deflection to suit associated finishes, partitions and walls. These points all indicate that deflections due to elastic strain, creep, shrinkage, temperature and moisture changes, load characteristics and form of structure must be considered, especially when the design deviates from practices that have proved satisfactory.

Time correlated study of the Z-pinch discharge in helium
Creators: name: Dimoff, Kenneth
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The structure in the collapse stage of a linear Z-pinch discharge in helium has been studied by optical methods. Observations with a framing camera, rotating mirror spectrograph, and monochromator have been correlated with magnetic field and current distributions determined by Tam (1967). The luminous regions in a helium pinch are very faint. Therefore, up to twenty exposures have to be superimposed on the same framing camera or rotating mirror record. This requires a high degree of reproducibility in the initiation of the discharge. At high initial pressures, a non-luminous shock wave at the inner edge of the collapsing current shell precedes the luminous plasma layer towards the centre of the discharge vessel. This shock front is followed by a region of predominantly Hel emission, while most of the Hell radiation occurs in the outer regions of the collapsing plasma shell. The separation into Hel and Hell radiating regions is consistent with spectroscopic measurements of temperature: higher temperatures occur at larger radii. Pressure and density in the non-radiating shock wave region are determined by calculations based on a simple model. At low filling pressures, the Hel and Hell regions coincide. The position of maximum luminosity is observed to correspond with the position of maximum current density. The luminosity and current shells coincide with no shock wave preceding the luminous front. Strong continuum radiation is emitted from the centre of the discharge tube as soon as the leading edge of the current shell reaches the axis. This leading edge is luminous at low initial pressures, but becomes a non-radiating shock front at higher filling pressures.

title: Metaphoricity in the verbal and visual discourse of The Economist
titleType: Subtitle
Creators: name: Leonzini, Luisella
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2020

description: The present thesis investigates the verbal and visual metaphors that are used by The Economist to discuss the topic of the economic crisis which hit the single currency and the Eurozone. In particular, I am concerned with the way in which the incongruous visual and verbal realisations interact and contribute to shaping a multimodal scenario. My study is broadly based on the discourse dynamic framework which investigates metaphor occurrence and development in the flow of discourse and social interaction. Considering that metaphor communicates ideas and conveys feelings, I place my analysis within the context of studies that investigate metaphor as a means of interaction. I examine metaphor as a device that, while occurring and developing in discourse, reveals and shapes people's views, attitudes and perceptions of reality. Having selected 10 articles that best illustrate the troubles that the debt crisis has brought to the euro area, I develop a qualitative investigation aimed at identifying metaphors which illustrate, explain and discuss complex economic issues, such as economic instability and the risk of an impending economic default. Based on the analysis of my data, I argue that verbal and visual metaphors debating the crisis emerge into two intersemiotically related systematic scenarios that highlight the urgency of intervention. A first optimistic scenario hints at scheduling feasible measures to save the euro and prompts plans of economic development in terms of a rescue. A second negative and pessimistic outlook criticises the inadequate projects that the Eurozone leaders have agreed on and awaits the failure of the euro in terms of a a tragic collapse. My research contributes to the study of metaphor in economic-media discourse and aims at achieving a deeper understanding of how verbal and visual interconnectedness in multimodal discourse is better shaped at attracting the reading public. Moreover, relying on the principles of clarity and simplicity that The Economist favours so much, metaphoricity and multimodality contribute to developing social interaction, a better understanding and hopefully a wider sharing.

description: The controlled agglomeration of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) was used to rapidly switch their magnetic properties. Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and dynamic light scattering showed that tailored iron oxide nanoparticles with phase-changing organic ligand shells agglomerate at temperatures between 5 °C and 20 °C. We observed the concurrent change in magnetic properties using magnetic particle spectroscopy (MPS) with a temporal resolution on the order of seconds and found reversible switching of magnetic properties of SPIONs by changing their agglomeration state. The non-linear correlation between magnetization amplitude from MPS and agglomeration degree from SAXS data indicated that the agglomerates' size distribution affected magnetic properties.
Earthquake Size Distribution: Power-Law with Exponent Beta = 1/2?

description: We propose that the widely observed and universal Gutenberg-Richter relation is a mathematical consequence of the critical branching nature of earthquake process in a brittle fracture environment. These arguments, though preliminary, are confirmed by recent investigations of the seismic moment distribution in global earthquake catalogs and by the results on the distribution in crystals of dislocation avalanche sizes. We consider possible systematic and random errors in determining earthquake size, especially its seismic moment. These effects increase the estimate of the parameter beta of the power-law distribution of earthquake sizes. In particular, we find that estimated beta-values may be inflated by 1-3% because relative moment uncertainties decrease with increasing earthquake size. Moreover, earthquake clustering greatly influences the beta-parameter. If clusters (aftershock sequences) are taken as the entity to be studied, then the exponent value for their size distribution would decrease by 5-10%. The complexity of any earthquake source also inflates the estimated beta-value by at least 3-7%. The centroid depth distribution also should influence the beta-value, an approximate calculation suggests that the exponent value may be increased by 2-6%. Taking all these effects into account, we propose that the recently obtained beta-value of 0.63 could be reduced to about 0.52--0.56: near the universal constant value (1/2) predicted by theoretical arguments. We also consider possible consequences of the universal beta-value and its relevance for theoretical and practical understanding of earthquake occurrence in various tectonic and Earth structure environments. Using comparative crystal deformation results may help us understand the generation of seismic tremors and slow earthquakes and illuminate the transition from brittle fracture to plastic flow.

description: We take advantage of good atmospheric transparency and the availability of high quality instrumentation in the 1 um near-infrared atmospheric window to present a grid of F, G, K, and M spectral standards observed at high spectral resolution (R ~ 25,000). In addition to a spectral atlas, we present a catalog of atomic line absorption features in the 0.95-1.11 um range. The catalog includes a wide range of line excitation potentials, from 0-13 eV, arising from neutral and singly ionized species, most frequently those of Fe I and Ti I at low excitation, Cr I, Fe I, and Si I at moderate excitation, and C I, S I, and Si I having relatively high excitation. The spectra also include several prominent molecular bands from CN and FeH. For the atomic species, we analyze trends in the excitation potential, line depth, and equivalent width across the grid of spectroscopic standards to identify temperature and surface gravity diagnostics near 1 um. We identify the line ratios that appear especially useful for spectral typing as those involving Ti I and C I or S I, which are temperature sensitive in opposite directions, and Sr II, which is gravity sensitive at all spectral types. Ascii versions of all spectra are available to download with the electronic version of the journal.

description: Monopoles in topologically massive gauge theories in 2+1 dimensions with a Chern-Simon mass term have been studied by Pisarski some years ago. He investigated the SU(2) Yang-Mills-Higgs model with an additional Chern-Simon mass term in the action. Pisarski argued that there is a monopole solution that is regular everywhere, but found that it does not possess finite action. There were no exact or numerical solutions being presented by Pisarski. Hence it is our purpose to further investigate this solution in more detail. We obtained numerical regular solutions that smoothly interpolates between the behavior at small and large distances for different values of Chern-Simon term strength and for several fixed values of Higgs field strength.

description: Protracted displacement exists in the European Union. TRAFIG research shows that many forced migrants in Italy and Greece live on the margins of society without hope for or the prospect of change. Their only way out is to go on the move. Mobility is their strategy to connect to social networks and find livelihood opportunities elsewhere. The problem is that their mobility is often on the fringes of or entirely outside the law. It leads to what we call the ‘mobility paradox’ that, if left unresolved, limits migrants’ survival strategies from serving as resources and solutions to protracted displacement. Based on the TRAFIG research in Italy and Greece - the results of which can be found in TRAFIG working paper no. 9 - the corresponding TRAFIG practice note no. 9 explains what generates the mobility paradox and presents ways in which it can be resolved.

Spontaneous Trevo XP Stent-Retriever Fracture During the Mechanical Thrombectomy for Acute Ischemic Stroke Treatment: A Case Report of a Specific Device Variant and Literature Review
Creators: name: Zeenat Qureshi Stroke Institutes
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: Background— The Trevo® XP stent-retriever (Stryker, Fremont, CA, USA), is a Food and Drug Administration(FDA)-approved device used in stent-assisted mechanical thrombectomy in patients with acute ischemic strokes

secondary to large vessel occlusions. Reports of failure/fracture of these devices resulting in retention of the stent-retriever within the patient has led to a recent recall of Trevo® XP stent-retrievers with various sizes by FDA.

However, Trevo® XP stent-retriever 3mm x 20mm variant is still considered approved. Here, a case of failure andretention of Trevo® XP stent-retriever 3mm x 20mm variant is presented.Methods—FDA Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience (MAUDE) database were searched using acombination of the terms “Trevo,” “break,” “fracture,” and “stent.”Results— A total of 482 reports were scrutinized, which resulted in identification of 45 cases which describedfracture in Trevo XP stent-retriever; none of these reports were regarding Trevo® XP stent-retriever 3mm x 20mm.Conclusion— Stent-retriever failure and fracture is a potentially underestimated, yet serious, complication. Ourcase report demonstrates that even more recently released devices have the risk of this complication. This highlightsthe need for further precaution to minimize the risk and improve patient safety.

description: We propose a link between logical independence and quantum physics. We demonstrate that quantum systems in the eigenstates of Pauli group operators are capable of encoding mathematical axioms and show that Pauli group quantum measurements are capable of revealing whether or not a given proposition is logically dependent on the axiomatic system. Whenever a mathematical proposition is logically independent of the axioms encoded in the measured state, the measurement associated with the proposition gives random outcomes. This allows for an experimental test of logical independence. Conversely, it also allows for an explanation of the probabilities of random outcomes observed in Pauli group measurements from logical independence without invoking quantum theory. The axiomatic systems we study can be completed and are therefore not subject to Goedel's incompleteness theorem.

description: This work presents the synthesis of MoO2/MoS2core/shell nanoparticles within a carbon nanotube networkand their detailed electron microscopy investigation in up to three dimensions. The triple-hybrid core/shellmaterial was prepared by atomic layer deposition of molybdenum oxide onto carbon nanotube networks,followed by annealing in a sulfur-containing gas atmosphere. High-resolution transmission electronmicroscopy together with electron diffraction, supported by chemical analysisviaenergy dispersive X-ray and electron energy loss spectroscopy, gave proof of a MoO2core covered by few layers of a MoS2shell within an entangled network of carbon nanotubes. To gain further insights into this complexmaterial, the analysis was completed with 3D electron tomography. By usingZ-contrast imaging, distinctreconstruction of core and shell material was possible, enabling the analysis of the 3D structure of thematerial. These investigations showed imperfections in the nanoparticles which can impact materialperformance,i.e.for faradaic charge storage or electrocatalysis.

description: Tricritical points separate continuous and discontinuous symmetry breaking transitions. They occur in a variety of physical systems and their mathematical models. A tricritical point is used to determine a liquid-solid phase transition line in the pressure-temperature plane [Aitta, J. Stat. Mech., 2006]. Excellent experimental agreement has been obtained for iron, the material having the most high pressure data. This allows extrapolation to much higher pressures and temperatures than available experimentally. One can predict the temperature at the liquid-solid boundary in the core of the Earth where the pressure is 329 GPa. Light matter, present as impurities in the core fluid, is found to generate about a 600 K reduction of this temperature.

description: We investigate the contribution to the angular correlation coefficients of the neutron beta decay within the R-parity violating (RPV) minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). The RPV effects contribute to the scalar interaction at the tree level. The effective scalar interaction of the neutron beta decay is constructed by making use of the relation between isospin asymmetries and the proton-neutron mass difference. On the basis of the recent update of the analyses of the superallowed Fermi transitions and the recent measurement of transverse polarization of the emitted electrons at PSI, we deduce new upper limits on the RPV couplings. We also point out the existence of new types of angular correlations which are sensitive to the RPV interactions.

description: The matrices of the inequivalent irreducible representations of the space group D[symbol omitted] (Pnma in international symbols) are derived. The allowable representations of the groups of the k-vectors are obtained from certain ray representations of the corresponding point groups. From these allowable representations the irreducible representations of the entire space group are induced. The results are presented in a systematically arranged set of tables.
