description: Suspended sediment dynamics are complex processes resulting from the interactions between different factors. To better comprehend these dynamics at event scale, we investigated two large datasets produced in two instrumented Italian catchments: a Mediterranean (Carapelle) and an Alpine watershed (Rio Cordon). An extensive set of variables concerning climatic, hydrological and suspended transport characteristics was used to explore the predictability of sediment dynamics. The differences in climate and size (499.40 vs 5.07 km2) led to different rainfall-runoff responses, while the discharge peak resulted as being a good descriptor for the hydrological and sediment dynamics. The sediment supply conditions influenced the hysteresis patterns while the principal component analysis explained 69.9% and 69.4% of variance in the Carapelle and Rio Cordon events, respectively. Using data produced by two long-term monitoring programmes, this study permits a better understanding of the sediment dynamics in Mediterranean and Alpine environments, also stressing their high complexity.

description: We theoretically study the relaxation of high energy single particle excitations into molecules in a system of attractive fermions in an optical lattice, both in the superfluid and the normal phase. In a system characterized by an interaction scale $U$ and a tunneling rate $t$, we show that the relaxation rate scales as $\sim Ct\exp(-αU^2/t^2)$ in the large $U/t$ limit. We obtain explicit expressions for the exponent $α$, both in the low temperature superfluid phase and the high temperature phase with pairing but no coherence between the molecules. We find that the relaxation rate decreases both with temperature and deviation of the fermion density from half-filling. We show that quasiparticle and phase degrees of freedom are effectively decoupled within experimental timescales allowing for observation of ordered states even at high total energy of the system.

description: The NGC 1999 reflection nebula features a dark patch with a size of ~10,000 AU, which has been interpreted as a small, dense foreground globule and possible site of imminent star formation. We present Herschel PACS far-infrared 70 and 160mum maps, which reveal a flux deficit at the location of the globule. We estimate the globule mass needed to produce such an absorption feature to be a few tenths to a few Msun. Inspired by this Herschel observation, we obtained APEX LABOCA and SABOCA submillimeter continuum maps, and Magellan PANIC near-infrared images of the region. We do not detect a submillimer source at the location of the Herschel flux decrement; furthermore our observations place an upper limit on the mass of the globule of ~2.4x10^-2 Msun. Indeed, the submillimeter maps appear to show a flux depression as well. Furthermore, the near-infrared images detect faint background stars that are less affected by extinction inside the dark patch than in its surroundings. We suggest that the dark patch is in fact a hole or cavity in the material producing the NGC 1999 reflection nebula, excavated by protostellar jets from the V 380 Ori multiple system.

title: 'The lightbulb moment when the penny drops': The representation and experience of visiting and revisiting the former Western Front, 1919-2019
Creators: name: Harrison, Amy
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2024

description: After the end of the Great War, the former battlefields of the Western Front became destinations for travel. A tourist infrastructure developed alongside a commemorative landscape of cemeteries, memorials, and preserved battlespaces. Tourists and pilgrims coexisted. Throughout the century, the landscape became a place of commemoration and consumerism, conflict and healing, memory and morality.

This thesis will explore visitors of the past and visitors of the present. It focusses on three distinct visitor types: civilians, veterans, and the military. It aims to show that individuals visited with their own motivations, expectations, and cultural understanding of the Great War. However, all visitors were linked by their ability to utilise the landscape for their own needs, experiencing the space as both tourist and pilgrim. 

Using a range of modern surveys, historical narratives of travel to the battlefields, and archival sources, this thesis explore the experience of visiting the Western Front across the century. Utilising anthropological, historical, and sociological theories, it will show how visitors access knowledge and narrative in otherwise hidden landscapes; emotionally and physically exploring a 'thanotourism' landscape to ultimately reach a level of understanding and empathy.

description: The Durham GALFORM semi-analytical galaxy formation model has been shown to reproduce the observed rest-frame 1500Å luminosity function of galaxies well over the whole redshift range z=5-10. We show that in this model, this galaxy population also emits enough ionizing photons to reionize the Universe by redshift z=10, assuming a modest escape fraction of 20 per cent. The bulk of the ionizing photons is produced in faint galaxies during starbursts triggered by galaxy mergers. The bursts introduce a dispersion up to ~ 5 dex in galaxy ionizing luminosity at a given halo mass. Almost 90 per cent of the ionizing photons emitted at z=10 are from galaxies below the current observational detection limit at that redshift. Photo-ionization suppression of star formation in these galaxies is unlikely to affect this conclusion significantly, because the gas that fuels the starbursts has already cooled out of their host halos. The galaxies that dominate the ionizing emissivity at z=10 are faint, with M_{1500, AB} ~ -16, have low star formation rates, \dot{M_{*}} ~ 0.06 h^{-1} M_sun yr^{-1}, and reside in halos of mass M ~ 10^9 h^{-1} M_sun.

description: Baked goods are one of the primary sources of added sugar in the American diet. Excessive consumption of added sugar can lead to diseases such as obesity, heart disease, and diabetes. As information pertaining to the link between health and diet becomes more available to consumers, the demand for products with lower calories, fat, and sugar continues to rise. The obstacle in formulating baked goods with alternative sweeteners is that these sweeteners have different effects on the physicochemical properties of the starch in the products than that of sucrose, leading to differences in texture, color (browning), texture, and flavor between the sucrose-containing products consumers are accustomed to and the new reduced sugar products. Previous studies done by the Mauer lab have found that interactions between the sweeteners that enter the amorphous region of the starch granule alter physicochemical properties of the starch, including the gelatinization temperature (Tgel) and pasting properties of the starch. The purpose of this project was to investigate how the presence of oligosaccharides (OS) used as sucrose replacers in starch-containing products alters the functionality of the starch through modification of its thermal and physicochemical properties. Different botanical sources of starch were preconditioned in solutions containing different concentrations of select OS, varying temperature during preconditioning. The preconditioned starches were then analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), rapid visco analysis (RVA), and x-ray diffraction (XRD). Results demonstrated that several OS are less effective plasticizers of starch (all botanical sources) than sucrose, meaning Tgel is higher in the presence of these OS and less pasting occurs. This is advantageous for formulating low moisture baked goods that rely on inhibition of starch gelatinization for desirable product quality.

description: We develop an effective field theory to describe the coupling of non-thermal quantum black holes to particles such as those of the Standard Model. The effective Lagrangian is determined by imposing that the production cross section of a non-thermal quantum black hole be given by the usual geometrical cross section. Having determined the effective Lagrangian, we estimate the contribution of a virtual hole to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, $μ\to e γ$ transition and to the electric dipole moment of the neutron. We obtain surprisingly weak bounds on the Planck mass due to a chiral suppression factor in the calculated low energy observables. The tightest bounds come from $μ\to e γ$ and the limit on the neutron electric dipole moment. These bounds are in the few TeV region. However, the bound obtained from proton decay is much more severe and of the order of $1 \times 10^6$ GeV.

description: We describe and experimentally demonstrate a technique for deterministic coupling between a photonic crystal (PC) nanocavity and single emitters. The technique is based on in-situ scanning of a PC cavity over a sample and allows the positioning of the cavity over a desired emitter with nanoscale resolution. The power of the technique, which we term a Scanning Cavity Microscope (SCM), is demonstrated by coupling the PC nanocavity to a single nitrogen vacancy (NV) center in diamond, an emitter system that provides optically accessible electron and nuclear spin qubits.

description: We describe a new, free and open source semi-analytic model of galaxy formation, Galacticus. The Galacticus model was designed to be highly modular to facilitate expansion and the exploration of alternative descriptions of key physical ingredients. We detail the Galacticus engine for evolving galaxies through a merging hierarchy of dark matter halos and give details of the specific implementations of physics currently available in Galacticus. Finally, we show results from an example model that is in reasonably good agreement with several observational datasets. We use this model to explore numerical convergence and to demonstrate the types of information which can be extracted from Galacticus.

description: We introduce a one-dimensional model of Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs), combining the double-well potential, which is a well-known setting for the onset of spontaneous-symmetry-breaking (SSB) effects, and time-periodic modulation of the nonlinearity, which may be implemented by means of the Feshbach-resonance-management (FRM) technique. Both cases of the nonlinearity which is repulsive or attractive on the average are considered. In the former case, the main effect produced by the application of the FRM is spontaneous self-trapping of the condensate in either of the two potential wells in parameter regimes where it would remain untrapped in the absence of the management. In the weakly nonlinear regime, the frequency of intrinsic oscillations in the FRM-induced trapped state is very close to half the FRM frequency, suggesting that the effect is accounted for by a parametric resonance. In the case of the attractive nonlinearity, the FRM-induced effect is the opposite, i.e., enforced detrapping of a state which is self-trapped in its unmanaged form. In the latter case, the frequency of oscillations of the untrapped mode is close to a quarter of the driving frequency, suggesting that a higher-order parametric resonance may account for this effect.

Identification of a novel protein tether enriched at endoplasmic reticulum-plasma membrane contact sites and in volved in salt stress tolerance in Arabidopsis
Creators: name: Benítez De La Fuente, Francisco
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: Plants are sessile and are exposed to environmental changes that can compromise their survival and yield. Salt stress is one of the most common environmental stresses. Arabidopsis SYT1 is a key player in plant response to salt stress mediated by Ca²⁺, and acts as protein bridge, tethering the endoplasmic reticulum to the plasma membrane. These regions of close contact between organelles, called membrane contact sites, are conserved in eukaryotes, and are involved in functions such as Ca²⁺ signaling and lipid homeostasis. However, their relationship with salt stress in plants is unknown. In this project, I aimed to discover new contact site tethers in the model organism Arabidopsis thaliana and shed light on the relation of endoplasmic reticulum-plasma membrane contact sites (EPCS) and salt stress tolerance. I used bioinformatic, phylogenetic and cellular biological approaches and I related an Arabidopsis protein family, the N-terminal transmembrane C2 domain (NTMC2) family, to contact sites. A putative tether called Arabidopsis thaliana Ca²⁺-dependent Lipid Binding (AtCLB) belongs to the NTMC2 family. AtCLB has a subcellular localization pattern of beads and strings, which resembles the pattern found for the plant EPCS tether SYT1. AtCLB pattern becomes more punctate under depletion of cytosolic Ca²⁺, suggesting that intracellular Ca²⁺ is important for AtCLB contact with the plasma membrane. Mutant plants lacking functional AtCLB did not show any visible phenotype in salt stress conditions. Under salt stress treatments, however, the normal subcellular pattern of AtCLB was altered, EPCS formation was increased and the intermembrane distance was decreased. This result suggests a role for AtCLB in salt stress tolerance that might be phenotypically masked by functional redundancy. This subcellular alteration and the reduction of intermembrane distance was mimicked when the amount of phosphatidylinositol-(4,5)-bisphosphate was artificially increased at the plasma membrane. These results point towards a model of EPCS tethering involving cytosolic Ca²⁺, salt stress and negatively charged phosphoinositides. Further study will be required to fully understand EPCS regulation. In summary, these discoveries clarify some mechanistic aspects of EPCS tethering in plants and open a door to the discovery of new contact site protein tethers from the plant protein family NTMC2

description: We develop a general method to fit the planetary distribution function (PLDF) to exoplanet survey data. This maximum likelihood method accommodates more than one planet per star and any number of planet or target star properties. Application to \Kepler data relies on estimates of the efficiency of discovering transits around Solar type stars by Howard et al. (2011). These estimates are shown to agree with theoretical predictions for an ideal transit survey. Using announced \Kepler planet candidates, we fit the PLDF as a joint powerlaw in planet radius, down to 0.5 R_Eart, and orbital period, up to 50 days. The estimated number of planets per star in this sample is ~ 0.7 --- 1.4, where the broad range covers systematic uncertainties in the detection efficiency. To analyze trends in the PLDF we consider four planet samples, divided between shorter and longer periods at 7 days and between large and small radii at 3 R_Earth. At longer periods, the size distribution of the small planets, with index α= -1.2 \pm 0.2 steepens to α= -2.0 \pm 0.2 for the larger planet sample. For shorter periods, the opposite is seen: smaller planets follow a steep powerlaw, α= -1.9 \pm 0.2 that is much shallower, α= -0.7 \pm 0.2 at large radii. The observed deficit of intermediate-sized planets at the shortest periods may arise from the evaporation and sublimation of Neptune and Saturn-like planets. If the trend and explanation hold, it would be spectacular observational confirmation of the core accretion and migration hypotheses, and allow refinement of these theories.

description: An essential component in proton radiotherapy is the algorithm to calculate the radiation dose to be delivered to the patient. The most common dose algorithms are fast but they are approximate analytical approaches. However their level of accuracy is not always satisfactory, especially for heterogeneous anatomic areas, like the thorax. Monte Carlo techniques provide superior accuracy, however, they often require large computation resources, which render them impractical for routine clinical use. Track-repeating algorithms, for example the Fast Dose Calculator, have shown promise for achieving the accuracy of Monte Carlo simulations for proton radiotherapy dose calculations in a fraction of the computation time. We report on the implementation of the Fast Dose Calculator for proton radiotherapy on a card equipped with graphics processor units (GPU) rather than a central processing unit architecture. This implementation reproduces the full Monte Carlo and CPU-based track-repeating dose calculations within 2%, while achieving a statistical uncertainty of 2% in less than one minute utilizing one single GPU card, which should allow real-time accurate dose calculations.

description: We explore the space of spherically symmetric, static solutions in the decoupling limit of a class of non-linear covariant extensions of Fierz-Pauli massive gravity obtained recently in arXiv:1007.0443. In general, several such solutions with various asymptotic limits exist. We find their approximate short and long-distance behaviour and use numerical analysis to match them at the Vainshtein radius, $r_*$. Our findings indicate, that for a broad range of parameters, the theory does possess the Vainshtein mechanism, screening the scalar contribution to the gravitational force within $r_*$. In addition, there exists a class of solutions in the literature, for which the $1/r$ gravitational potential is completely screened within the Vainshtein scale. However, numerical analysis indicates, that for this type of solutions, the gravitational potential does not decay at spatial infinity.

  Civil Ethic and Evangelical Beatitudes
 ABSTRACT
 The differences between civil ethic and religious ethic, that the Author defines as constitutional principles and evangelic Beatitudes, are well known: it’s common knowledge that the ones are effective in the earthly life while the others are oriented to the eternal life. Nevertheless the Author argues that they both have a common feature before that last analysis: they cross as principles of continuing opposition to unjust society, to “unlawful law”, to spreading apart between the constitutional and evangelic must be and the legislative being of positive law.
KEY-WORDS: Civil Ethic – Constitution – Evangelical Beatitudes – Differences - Common Feature.

ABSTRACT

 This essay examines the legal condition of religious denominations in the European States’ new Constitutions. It focuses upon the legal provisions concerning the principle of cooperation and its application contained both in these Constitutions and in the German Länder’s agreements signed with religious denominations after the Reunification. The inconsistencies thereby originated are also taken into account as regards both European legal rules and the condition of religious denominations within national States.

description: Pleuroleura Picteti nov. spec. Fig. 6 et 7. L'animal est allongé, étroit, un peu plus haut et plus large à la partie antérieure. Le notaBum a partout la même largeur; il est moins large que le pied sur l'animal vivant, tandis que, chez les individus conservés à l'alcool, il déborde le pied de tous les côtés. Le voile labial est bien développé; sur le vivant il dépasse de beaucoup le bord antérieur du notseum. Ce dernier est jaunâtre, marqué de points bruns irrégulièrement distribués; le reste du corps est blanc. Les exemplaires conservés dans l'alcool ont pris une teinte générale olivâtre; les points bruns sont encore visibles. Les rhinophores ont la forme typique du genre; la partie renflée est jaune foncé et le pédoncule blancjaunâtre. La radule a pour formule 3 |— 1 j— 1 -f- l-}-3. Nous en avons représenté (fig. 6) les différentes dents, prises dans une des rangées du milieu; nous nous dispenserons donc d'en donner une description plus détaillée.

description: We report on the sensitivity of SPIRE photometers on the Herschel Space Observatory. Specifically, we measure the confusion noise from observations taken during the Science Demonstration Phase of the Herschel Multi-tiered Extragalactic Survey. Confusion noise is defined to be the spatial variation of the sky intensity in the limit of infinite integration time, and is found to be consistent among the different fields in our survey at the level of 5.8, 6.3 and 6.8 mJy/beam at 250, 350 and 500 microns, respectively. These results, together with the measured instrument noise, may be used to estimate the integration time required for confusion-limited maps, and provide a noise estimate for maps obtained by SPIRE.

description: In this paper a new intrinsic geometric characterization of the symmetric square of a curve and of the ordinary product of two curves is given. More precisely it is shown that the existence on a surface of general type S of irregularity q of an effective divisor D having self-intersection D^2>0 and arithmetic genus q implies that S is either birational to a product of curves or to the second symmetric product of a curve.

Particles in a yield-stress fluid : yield limit, sedimentation and hydrodynamic interaction
Creators: name: Chaparian, Emad
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: A theoretical and numerical study of yield-stress fluid creeping flow about a particle is presented motivated by theoretical aspects and industrial applications. Yield stress fluids can hold rigid particles statically buoyant if the yield stress is large enough. In addressing sedimentation of rigid particles in viscoplastic fluids, we should know this critical `yield number' beyond which there is no motion. As we get close to this limit, the role of viscosity becomes negligible in comparison to the plastic contribution in the leading order, since we are approaching the zero-shear-rate limit. Admissible stress fields in this limit can be found by using the characteristics of the governing equations of perfect plasticity (i.e., the sliplines). This approach yields a lower bound of the critical plastic drag force or equivalently the critical yield number. Admissible velocity fields also can be postulated to calculate the upper bound. This analysis methodology is examined for different families of particle shapes. Numerical experiments of either resistance or mobility problems in a viscoplastic fluid validate the predictions of slipline theory and reveal interesting aspects of the flow in the yield limit. For instance, the critical limit is not unique and here we show that for the same critical limit we may have different shaped particles that are cloaked inside the same unyielded envelope. The critical limit (or critical plastic drag coefficient) is related to the unyielded envelope rather than the particle shape. We show how to calculate the unyielded envelope directly. Here we also address the case of having multiple particles, which introduces interesting new phenomena. Firstly, plug regions can appear between the particles and connect them together, depending on the proximity and yield number. This can change the yielding behaviour since the combination forms a larger (and heavier) "particle". Moreover, small particles (that cannot move alone) can be pulled/pushed by larger particles or assembly of particles. Increasing the number of particles leads to interesting chain dynamics, including breaking and reforming.

description: In this paper we use deep CFHT and SUBARU $uBVRIz$ archival images of the Abell 383 cluster (z=0.187) to estimate its mass by weak lensing. To this end, we first use simulated images to check the accuracy provided by our KSB pipeline. Such simulations include both the STEP 1 and 2 simulations, and more realistic simulations of the distortion of galaxy shapes by a cluster with a Navarro-Frenk-White (NFW) profile. From such simulations we estimate the effect of noise on shear measurement and derive the correction terms. The R-band image is used to derive the mass by fitting the observed tangential shear profile with a NFW mass profile. Photometric redshifts are computed from the uBVRIz catalogs. Different methods for the foreground/background galaxy selection are implemented, namely selection by magnitude, color and photometric redshifts, and results are compared. In particular, we developed a semi-automatic algorithm to select the foreground galaxies in the color-color diagram, based on observed colors. Using color selection or photometric redshifts improves the correction of dilution from foreground galaxies: this leads to higher signals in the inner parts of the cluster. We obtain a cluster mass that is ~ 20% higher than previous estimates, and is more consistent the mass expected from X--ray data. The R-band luminosity function of the cluster is finally computed.

description: The membrane-assisted CO2-liquefaction carbon capture process has been investigated by process simulations and laboratory experiments to validate its performance. To increase the TRL level to 7-8, a pilot facility with real flue gas from a cement plant in an operational environment is required.

The membrane-assisted CO2-liquefaction process is a hybrid between two carbon capture technologies, each of which are unfit for post-combustion carbon capture by itself. By combining the two technologies, they can both operate in their respective favourable regime of operation. The process consists of a single membrane stage for bulk separation of the flue gas from a CO2 concentration in the range 17–20 mol%, delivering crude CO2 with a purity up to 60–70 mol%. This bulk separation is followed by CO2 liquefaction and two stages of phase-separation for purification up to above 99 mol% purity. The final liquid CO2 stream can be pumped to the transport pressure and reheated in the case of pipeline transport, or directly extracted as liquid CO2 for ship transport.

In this work, a preliminary design of a combined membrane and CO2-liquefaction test plant has been proposed. The baseline mass balance flowsheet has been simulated in Aspen HYSYS, and the design is further supported by recent experience from a laboratory pilot plant with a capacity of around 10 tons CO2 per day. The simulated plant is designed for 60 % CCR and capacity to capture 100 tons CO2 per day. A membrane area of 10 000 m2 is required according to our model results. The plant delivers liquid CO2 with at least 99.4 % purity, but higher purity may be attainable through further reduction of pressure in the low-pressure CO2 purification separator.

The necessary main components, equipment types and availability of off-the-shelf equipment have been investigated. Suggestions on how to control the process, based on experience from the laboratory experiments, are also provided.
