description: Non-dissipative Josephson current through nanoscale superconducting constrictions is carried by spectroscopically sharp energy states, so-called Andreev bound states. Although theoretically predicted almost 40 years ago, no direct spectroscopic evidence of these Andreev bound states exists to date. We propose a novel type of spectroscopy based on embedding a superconducting constriction, formed by a single-level molecule junction, in a microwave QED cavity environment. In the electron-dressed cavity spectrum we find a polariton excitation at twice the Andreev bound state energy, and a superconducting-phase dependent ac Stark shift of the cavity frequency. Dispersive measurement of this frequency shift can be used for Andreev bound state spectroscopy.

Unearthing the sun : making sense of the proposed coal developments in the Galilee Basin
Creators: name: Duus, Sonya
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2015

description: The Galilee Basin is a major coal basin in central-west Queensland on the brink of being 'opened up' for the first time. However, almost every component of the proposed developments has been clouded by controversy, with the prospect of substantial negative consequences at local, regional and global levels. In particular, the proposed coal developments in the Galilee Basin appear woefully out of step with the imperative to limit the production and consumption of fossil fuels in the face of global warming. This thesis examines the plans and controversies in the Galilee Basin as an example of human society's coal conundrum; coal is central to the development and functioning of modern industrial society, yet a continuing reliance on coal will severely challenge the safe operating space for humans on planet Earth. It is a situation that demands engagement with the complex social and environmental dimensions of humanity's continuing dependence on fossil fuels. I identify and explore some of the systemic factors driving coal development in the Galilee Basin by locating current events in a broad historical view. Guided by the fields of human ecology and environmental history, I consider a number of key nested historical contexts that help to explain the impetus behind Australian coal development, as well as the often uncomfortable coexistence of coal-based development with other industries and values. Current dilemmas in the Galilee Basin are situated in the context of the region itself, as well as in the longer story of coal in Queensland, Australia, early industrial Britain, and the planetary scale picture of carbon and fossil fuels. Coal is found to be inextricably entwined in the technological, economic, political, and cultural fabric of modern society. While there are broadly similar patterns across the industrialised world, there are distinctive features about the biophysical and sociocultural history of Australia that have enabled an especially prominent role for coal. From a broad historical perspective it is evident that there are multilayered, historically charged, forces propelling coal mining in the Galilee Basin. But also, the proposed developments come at a time when the costs of coal are starting to overwhelm its long perceived benefits. The Galilee Basin is thus at a unique crossroads in time. How events play out in the region will, to a large extent, reflect the complex global struggle to forge a future beyond fossil fuels. The discussion and findings from this research are also relevant to discussions about the multi-dimensional aspects of energy more generally, and how humanity might think about energy choices in the decades to come.

description: P.F. Strawson rejects several assumptions shared by most compatibilists and incompatibilists in his account of free will. He rejects the view that our practices of viewing one another as free, and of holding one another responsible for our actions must, in order to be appropriate, answer to certain kinds of theoretical commitment about the nature of the world. He also rejects the view that we can achieve complete objectivity in the practice of holding others responsible, and argues that even if we could achieve it there is a risk that our lives would be impoverished by adopting it. In this thesis I argue that Strawson's approach can be interpreted as a humanistic one - an approach that emphasises both our psychological limitations as human beings and the central role that our existence as social creatures plays in endowing other aspects of our lives with meaning. My aim is to defend a Strawsonian approach, thus construed. In doing so, I offer critical analysis of libertarian and (non-Strawsonian) compatibilist approaches, arguing that they fail to successfully avoid a number of well-known challenges to the possibility of free will. I attempt to demonstrate that Strawson's humanistic approach does avoid these challenges. I draw on the work of other philosophers, especially Bernard Williams, in developing this argument. In setting up the project, I also offer a revised framework for classifying approaches to the free will debate, with a particular focus on the way that compatibilist approaches are classified.

Prevalence of genetic polymorphisms in atopic families
Creators: name: Zhu, Shoukang
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Genetic susceptibility to atopy and asthma is due to multiple genes interacting with each other and with environment factors. Variants in regulatory or coding regions of specific genes have been associated with atopy and asthma. Polymorphisms at position -308 in the promoter region of the TNFα gene, -590 in the promoter region of the IL4 gene and amino acid position 237 of the FceRiβ gene have been reported with increased frequency in asthmatic as opposed to control subjects. The aim of this thesis was to determine the predictive value of these polymorphisms in the development of childhood atopy and asthma and whether any of these polymorphisms were associated with atopy and asthma in adult subjects. A prospective cohort including 493 infants born into atopic families was selected. Cord blood was collected at birth. Each infant was assessed at 12 months for respiratory symptoms and skin prick tests for 14 common allergens were performed. DNA was extracted for infants and their parents. Polymerase chain reaction based techniques were used to genotype all the infants and their parents for TNFα-308, IL4-590 and FceRip polymorphisms. In whites, there was a significant association of the IL4-590 polymorphism with "probable asthma"; there were no association of the TNFα-308 and FceRiβ polymorphisms with asthma or atopy in either the parents or their children. Therefore, IL4-590 polymorphism may be a risk factor for the development of asthma while TNFα-308 and FceRiβ polymorphisms had no predictive value for atopic diseases in whites. In the whole infant population, we found the allele frequency of the IL4-590 polymorphism was significantly higher than that in the non-atopic, non-asthmatic controls (p=0.04) or in the general population (p=0.01). The prevalence of atopy was significantly higher in infants with the T allele of IL4-590 polymorphism (IL4-590*T) than in those without this allele (p=0.002). The allele frequency of IL4-590*T was significantly higher in Orientals than that in whites (p<0.0001). To avoid a false positive association caused by population admixture, the transmission/disequilibrium test was performed. A borderline association of IL4-590*T with atopy (p=0.07) was detected. This adds power to our suggestion that IL4-590*T may play a role in the pathogenesis of atopy.

description: Baseline computations of the Cronin effect in nuclear collisions at energies spanning the SPS and the RHIC accelerators are performed in the Glauber-Eikonal model, which ascribes the effect to initial-state incoherent multiple parton scatterings. The model accounts very well for the mid-rapidity Cronin effect in hadron-nucleus collisions in the 27-200 GeV center of mass energy range, and will be extended to nucleus-nucleus collisions. The computations are performed under the assumption that the partons do not interact with the medium produced in the collision. Therefore, medium effects such as energy loss in a Quark-Gluon Plasma may be detected and measured as deviations from the presented baseline computation of the "naked" Cronin effect.

description: We propose a phenomenological non-equilibrium framework for modelling the evolution of cities which describes the intra-urban resettlement as an irreversible diffusive process. We validate this framework using the actual migration data for the Australian capital cities. With respect to the residential relocation, the population is shown to be composed of two distinct groups, exhibiting different relocation frequencies. In the context of the developed framework, these groups can be interpreted as two components of a binary mixture, each with its own diffusive relaxation time. Using this approach, we obtain long-term predictions of the cities' spatial structure, which defines their equilibrium population distribution.

Capillary and Viscous Fracturing During Drainage in Porous Media

description: Detailed understanding of the couplings between fluid flow and solid deformation in porous media is crucial for the development of novel technologies relating to a wide range of geological and biological processes. A particularly challenging phenomenon that emerges from these couplings is the transition from fluid invasion to fracturing during multiphase flow. Previous studies have shown that this transition is highly sensitive to fluid flow rate, capillarity, and the structural properties of the porous medium. However, a comprehensive characterization of the relevant fluid flow and material failure regimes does not exist. Here, we used our newly developed Multiphase Darcy-Brinkman-Biot framework to examine the transition from drainage to material failure during viscously-stable multiphase flow in soft porous media in a broad range of flow, wettability, and solid rheology conditions. We demonstrate the existence of three distinct material failure regimes controlled by non-dimensional numbers that quantify the balance of viscous, capillary, and structural forces in the porous medium.

description: We have observed a high-mass protobinary system in the hot core W3(H2O) with the BIMA Array. Our continuum maps at wavelengths of 1.4mm and 2.8mm both achieve sub-arcsecond angular resolutions and show a double-peaked morphology. The angular separation of the two sources is 1.19" corresponding to 2.43X10^3 AU at the source distance of 2.04 kpc. The flux densities of the two sources at 1.4mm and 2.8mm have a spectral index of 3, translating to an opacity law of kappa ~ nu. The small spectral indices suggest that grain growth has begun in the hot core. We have also observed 5 K components of the CH3CN (12-11) transitions. A radial velocity difference of 2.81 km/s is found towards the two continuum peaks. Interpreting these two sources as binary components in orbit about one another, we find a minimum mass of 22 Msun for the system. Radiative transfer models are constructed to explain both the continuum and methyl cyanide line observations of each source. Power-law distributions of both density and temperature are derived. Density distributions close to the free-fall value, r^-1.5, are found for both components, suggesting continuing accretion. The derived luminosities suggest the two sources have equivalent zero-age main sequence (ZAMS) spectral type B0.5 - B0. The nebular masses derived from the continuum observations are about 5 Msun for source A and 4 Msun for source C. A velocity gradient previously detected may be explained by unresolved binary rotation with a small velocity difference.

description: Compact vacuum systems are key enabling components for cold atom technologies, facilitating extremely accurate sensing applications. There has been important progress towards a truly portable compact vacuum system, however size, weight and power consumption can be prohibitively large, optical access may be limited, and active pumping is often required. Here, we present a centilitre-scale ceramic vacuum chamber with He-impermeable viewports and an integrated diffractive optic, enabling robust laser cooling with light from a single polarization-maintaining fibre. A cold atom demonstrator based on the vacuum cell delivers $10^7$ laser-cooled $^{87}$Rb atoms per second, using minimal electrical power. With continuous Rb gas emission active pumping yields a $10^{-7}\,$mbar equilibrium pressure, and passive pumping stabilises to $3\times 10^{-6}\,$mbar, with a $17\,$day time constant. A vacuum cell, with no Rb dispensing and only passive pumping, has currently kept a similar pressure for more than \ch{500 days}. The passive-pumping vacuum lifetime is several years, estimated from short-term He throughput, with many foreseeable improvements. This technology enables wide-ranging mobilization of ultracold quantum metrology.

description: We present an atomistically informed parametrization of a phase-field model for describing the anisotropic mobility of liquid–solid interfaces in silicon. The model is derived from a consistent set of atomistic data and thus allows to directly link molecular dynamics and phase field simulations. Expressions for the free energy density, the interfacial energy and the temperature and orientation dependent interface mobility are systematically fitted to data from molecular dynamics simulations based on the Stillinger–Weber interatomic potential. The temperature-dependent interface velocity follows a Vogel–Fulcher type behavior and allows to properly account for the dynamics in the undercooled melt.

description: For fixed finite graphs $G$, $H$, a common problem in Ramsey theory is to study graphs $F$ such that $F \to (G,H)$, i.e. every red-blue coloring of the edges of $F$ produces either a red $G$ or a blue $H$. We generalize this study to infinite graphs $G$, $H$; in particular, we want to determine if there is a minimal such $F$. This problem has strong connections to the study of self-embeddable graphs: infinite graphs which properly contain a copy of themselves. We prove some compactness results relating this problem to the finite case, then give some general conditions for a pair $(G,H)$ to have a Ramsey-minimal graph. We use these to prove, for example, that if $G=S_\infty$ is an infinite star and $H=nK_2$, $n \ge 1$ is a matching, then the pair $(S_\infty,nK_2)$ admits no Ramsey-minimal graphs.

description: We present a solution to the problem of reflection/refraction of a polarized Gaussian beam on the interface between two transparent media. The transverse shifts of the beams' centers of gravity are calculated. They always satisfy the total angular momentum conservation law for beams, however, in general, do not satisfy the conservation laws for individual photons in consequence of the lack of the ``which path'' information in a two-channel wave scattering. The field structure for the reflected/refracted beam is analyzed. In the scattering of a linearly-polarized beam, photons of opposite helicities are accumulated at the opposite edges of the beam: this is the spin Hall effect for photons, which can be registered in the cross-polarized component of the scattered beam.
description: 5 pages, 2 pictures, note regarding experimental observation of the spin Hall effect of light is added, which is absent in the journal version

The study reveals that many household characteristics including food spending amount, education, gender, marital status, knowledge about food related policies and regional variables are key policy factors to choose regulation programs on GMO foods. People are more prone to implement compulsory policy on GMO foods than that of voluntary policy.

The premise is that if we gain insights about the causes of some human capabilities that are still lacking in AI (for instance, adaptability, generalizability, common sense, and causal reasoning), we may obtain similar capabilities in an AI system by embedding these causal components. We hope that the high-level description of our vision included in this paper, as well as the several research questions that we propose to consider, can stimulate the AI research community to define, try and evaluate new methodologies, frameworks, and evaluation metrics, in the spirit of achieving a better understanding of both human and machine intelligence.

description: Purpose: A 2017 CATALISE project resulted in consensus on using the term “developmental language disorder” (DLD) to describe children with unexplained language impairment. Since then, it is unclear how researchers have identified DLD and implemented DLD terminology. The current study is a scoping review to better understand the implementation of DLD terminology.Method: We identified studies (N = 265) published in American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) journals between 2017 and 2024 that included individuals with communication difficulties in the area of language not secondary to another etiology. We extracted key information regarding study purpose and participant identification from each publication.Results: Across all publications, 58% included the term “DLD” to describe their participant(s), 22% included “specific language impairment” (SLI), 12% included “language impairment” (LI), and 8% included other terms. The majority of publications served to better understand the profile of individuals with DLD, evaluate an intervention, or report on a measurement tool related to identification of the condition. There was significant variation in the developmental domains (e.g., cognitive, social, sensory) considered when diagnosing DLD across research publications.Conclusions: This scoping review demonstrates the adoption and implementation of the term “DLD” in ASHA publications. Future efforts should prioritize increasing the consistency of identification of DLD in research, advocating for use of DLD terminology in clinical contexts, and supporting clinicians’ knowledge, identification, assessment, intervention, and advocacy related to DLD.Supplemental Material S1.

description: We estimate both averting behavior and stated preferences about water quality improvements in the southeastern Anatolian region using reduced form equations. The model reveals that income, education, perception about water features, household living conditions, regional variables are only statistically significant in both the RP and SP data models. The WTP estimate was around 6.43 New Turkish Liras. And also simulation analysis show that increasing income and education foster the willingness-to-pay for treating water, while an increase in bid prices and perception reduce the WTP.

description: We construct black hole solutions with spin-induced scalarization in a class of models where a scalar field is quadratically coupled to the topological Gauss-Bonnet term. Starting from the tachyonically unstable Kerr solutions, we obtain families of scalarized black holes such that the scalar field has either even or odd parity, and we investigate their domain of existence. The scalarized black holes can violate the Kerr rotation bound. We identify "critical" families of scalarized black hole solutions such that the expansion of the metric functions and of the scalar field at the horizon no longer allows for real coefficients. For the quadratic coupling considered here, solutions with spin-induced scalarization are entropically favored over Kerr solutions with the same mass and angular momentum.

description: The pairing symmetry in the electron mechanism for superconductivity is explored when charge fluctuations coexist with spin fluctuations. The extended Hubbard model is adopted to obtain, with the fluctuation exchange approximation, a phase diagram against the on-site Coulomb repulsion U and the off-site repulsion V for the square lattice with second-neighbor hopping t'. We have found that (i) for large U(>9) a triplet superconductivity with a sin(kx+ky) symmetry can appear just below the charge density wave phase. The pairing is degenerate with sin(kx-ky), so a chiral sin(kx+ky)+isin(kx-ky) that breaks the time reversal symmetry should result, which is a candidate for the gap function on the gamma band of Sr2RuO4 and is consistent with a recent measurement of the specific heat. (ii) By systematically deforming the Fermi surface with varied t', we have identified the region where the triplet pairing is most favored to be the region where the Fermi surface traverses the van Hove singularity with the charge susceptibility strongly enhanced.

A study on the effects of multicollinearity, autocorrelation and four sampling designs on the predictive ability of the 1994 and 1995 variable-exponent taper functions
Creators: name: Bartel, Joseph
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: In British Columbia, government, industry and consulting firms have used taper functions since the late sixties. Most recently, Kozak's (1988) variable exponent model has been used since 1989. One practical problem with the model is that, it does not estimate total or merchantable volume without bias. These biases were found to be more pronounced for red cedar (Thuja plicata Donn ex D.Don) and western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla (raf). Sarg.). Because of this problem, a second equation known as the 1994 equation was developed. However, reviewers identified some theoretical problems concerning multicollinearity and autocorrelation in the 1994 equation. These prompted the development of a third equation that possesses a lesser amount of multicollinearity referred to as the 1995 equation. The three principal objectives of this research were: (1) to study the effects of multicollinearity and autocorrelation on the predictive ability of the 1994 and 1995 variableexponent taper functions; (2) to study the effects of four sampling strategies on the predictive ability of the 1994 and 1995 taper equations; and (3) to examine the possibility of localizing the 1994 taper equations. The effects of multicollinearity and autocorrelation and the four sampling designs were studied using Monte Carlo simulations. The results of the study indicated that the presence of severe multicollinearity and autocorrelation in the data did not seriously affect the predictive ability of the equations. Stratified random sampling, with equal allocation of observations selected from each stratum, gave the smallest variability of the estimated coefficients compared to simple random sampling, and stratified random sampling, with the number of samples proportional to the size of the strata. However, the average estimated regression coefficients were somewhat different from the population parameters.Therefore, simple random sampling is recommended for selecting trees from the population if the main objective is the estimation of the population parameters. If the equations are to be used for prediction, then a wider range of the data (stratified sampling) should be used. The results indicated that no adjustment or scaling is required for the western hemlock equation for the two subzones studied.

Quantum Chromodynamics at Colliders

description: QCD is the accepted (that is, the effective) theory of the strong interaction; studies at colliders are no longer designed to establish this. Such studies can now be divided into two categories. The first involves the identification of observables which can be both measured and predicted at the level of a few percent. Such studies parallel those of the electroweak sector over the past fifteen years, and deviations from expectations would be a sign of new physics. These observables provide a firm ``place to stand'' from which to extend our understanding. This links to the second category of study, where one deliberately moves to regions in which the usual theoretical tools fail; here new approximations in QCD are developed to increase our portfolio of understood processes, and hence our sensitivity to new physics. Recent progress in both these aspects of QCD at colliders is discussed.

Diffusive Synchrotron Radiation from Relativistic Shocks of Gamma-Ray Burst Sources

description: The spectrum of electromagnetic emission generated by relativistic electrons scattered on small-scale random magnetic fields, implied by current models of the magnetic field generation in the gamma-ray burst sources, is considered. The theory developed includes both perturbative and non-perturbative versions and, therefore, suggests a general treatment of the radiation in arbitrary small-scale random field. It is shown that a general treatment of the random nature of the small-scale magnetic field, as well as angular diffusion of the electrons due to multiple scattering by magnetic inhomogeneities (i.e., non-perturbative effects), give rise to a radiation spectrum that differs significantly from so-called "jitter" spectrum. The spectrum of diffusive synchrotron radiation seems to be consistent with the low energy spectral index distribution of the gamma-ray bursts.

title: High-resolution heat transfer measurements on a rotating turbine endwall with infrared thermography
Creators: name: Ostrowski, T.
name: Schiffer, H.-P.
Publisher: name: IOP Publishing
Year: 2024

description: Computational thermo-fluid dynamics in the field of turbo machinery research tend to account for transient interaction mechanisms to predict the convective heat transfer within the hot gas path. In this context, the rotor hub side endwall region of the high pressure turbine depicts an object of interest as the near wall flow field may be dominated by rotating flow structures emerging from the disc space cavities. The validation of the applied numerical tools rely on experimental heat transfer setups reproducing such transient boundary conditions. This paper describes an experimental approach to quantify the heat transfer coefficient and the adiabatic wall temperature on the rotating endwall of a large scale test turbine. The wall heat flux distribution in a thin film isolator coated to a well conducting support structure is quantified for a series of quasi-isothermal boundary conditions. A high-resolution infrared camera is used to capture triggered thermograms of the rotating surface. Distributed thermocouples in the base body serve as reference points for camera calibration and to deduce the temperature distribution at the interface to the isolator. The calibration is in-situ and includes the pixel-wise quantification of uncertainties in the surface temperatures. An advanced linear fit approach is applied to derive the unknown adiabatic quantities and their uncertainties. For the examined operating point with a rim seal purge flow rate of 1% the random part of the relative measurement uncertainty is clearly below 10% for the heat transfer coefficient and below 5% for the adiabatic wall temperature. As the evaluation algorithm is designed to consider covariances between the thermocouple and infrared readings, the surface wall heat flux can be evaluated for every single infrared image.

description: We investigate the diffuse interstellar band (DIB) spectrum in the interstellar medium of M31. The DEIMOS spectrograph of the W. M. Keck observatory was used to make optical spectroscopic observations of two supergiant stars, MAG 63885 and MAG 70817, in the vicinity of the OB78 association in M31 where the metallicity is approximately equal to solar. The 5780, 5797, 6203, 6283 and 6613 DIBs are detected in both sightlines at velocities matching the M31 interstellar Na I absorption. The spectra are classified and interstellar reddenings are derived for both stars. Diffuse interstellar band (DIB) equivalent widths and radial velocities are presented. The spectrum of DIBs observed in M31 towards MAG 63885 is found to be similar to that observed in the Milky Way. Towards MAG 70817 the DIB equivalent widths per unit reddening are about three times the Galactic average. Compared to observations elsewhere in the Universe, relative to reddening the M31 ISM in the vicinity of OB78 is apparently a highly favourable environment for the formation of DIB carriers.

description: National disasters can threaten national security and require several organizations to integrate the functionalities to correspond to the event. Many countries are constructing a nationwide mobile communication network infrastructure to share information and promptly communicate with corresponding organizations. Public Safety Long-Term Evolution (PS-LTE) is a communication mechanism adopted in many countries to achieve such a purpose. Organizations can increase the efficiency of public protection and disaster relief (PPDR) operations by securely connecting the services run on their legacy networks to the PS-LTE infrastructure. This environment allows the organizations to continue facilitating the information and system functionalities provided by the legacy network. The vulnerabilities in the environment, which differ from commercial LTE, need to be resolved to connect the network securely. In this study, we propose a security model design framework to derive the system architecture and the security requirements targeting the restricted environment applied by certain technologies for a particular purpose. After analyzing the PPDR operation environment's characteristics under the PS-LTE infrastructure, we applied the framework to derive the security model for organizations using PPDR services operated in their legacy networks through this infrastructure. Although the proposed security model design framework is applied to the specific circumstance in this research, it can be generally adopted for the application environment.

description: Specialty crop farmers have expressed concern about labor shortages and cost increases which may arise with immigration reform. The large-scale mechanization of the Florida sugarcane harvest during the 1970s/80s serves as an historical example of how technologies evolved due to changes in local labor market conditions.
