description: We have obtained high spatial resolution temperature and abundance profiles for the galaxy cluster Abell 2029 with the Chandra ACIS-S instrument. Our observations reveal that the spectra are well-fit by a single-phase gas in each annulus. While the temperature of the intracluster medium drops from ~9 keV at 3 arcmin (260 kpc) to 3 keV in the central 5 arcsec (5 kpc) of the cluster, there is no evidence for gas emitting at temperatures below 3 keV. The addition of a cooling flow component does not improve the fits, despite previous claims for a massive cooling flow. There is also no evidence for excess absorption above the Galactic N_H value. We also observe a steep Fe abundance gradient, such that Z_Fe >= 2 Z_solar (assuming meteoritic solar Fe abundance) in the core, consistent with significant enrichment from Fe-rich Type Ia supernovae in the cD galaxy. The Fe abundance drops to ~0.5 Z_solar at 3 arcmin (260 kpc), in good agreement with previous BeppoSAX measurements. The high resolution image reveals neither a strong central point source, nor any filamentary structure related to a cooling flow or a merger. The absence of a strong merger signature argues against the creation of the wide-angle-tail radio source morphology in a merger event. (modified for astro-ph).

description: This study investigates the taxonomy, phylogeny and biogeography of land snails in the genus Figuladra Köhler and Bouchet, 2020. Current understanding of the higher-level relationships and biogeography of the eastern Australian Camaenidae cannot progress without better knowledge of this fauna. Figuladra is a genus of camaenid land snail endemic to Queensland that has been greatly impacted by climate-induced reduction of mesic habitat and more recently, habitat loss through land clearing and anthropogenic fire regimes. These ‘hadroid’ (large, often striped) snails inhabit dry rainforests (vine thicket) and open woodlands of south-east, southern-central and mid-eastern Queensland. Figuladra has not been studied in depth previously and as a result, many anomalies existed in the identity and distribution of species due to the historical reliance on shell morphology that is highly variable within the genus. A further confounding issue was the incomplete provenance of Figuladra species described 150 years ago with little or no locality data, missing or confused type material in a number of museums across the world and often misleading images in early literature. These anomalies were resolved prior to undertaking a detailed and comprehensive revision of Figuladra. [...]
Dark energy and the angular size - redshift diagram for milliarcsecond radio sources

description: We investigate observational constraints on the cosmic equation of state from measurements of angular size for a large sample of milliarcsecond compact radio sources. The results are based on a flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) type models driven by non-relativistic matter plus a smooth dark energy component parametrized by its equation of state $p_x = ωρ_x$ ($-1 \leq ω< 0$). The allowed intervals for $ω$ and $Ω_{\rm{m}}$ are heavily dependent on the value of the mean projected linear size $l$. For $l \simeq 20h^{-1} - 30h^{-1}$ pc, we find $Ω_{\rm{m}} \leq 0.62$, $ω\leq -0.2$ and $Ω_{\rm{m}} \leq 0.17$, $ω\leq -0.65$ (68% c.l.), respectively. As a general result, this analysis shows that if one minimizes $χ^{2}$ for the parameters $l$, $Ω_{\rm{m}}$ and $ω$, the conventional flat $Λ$CDM model ($ω= -1$) with $Ω_{\rm{m}} = 0.2$ and $l = 22.6 h^{-1}$pc is the best fit for these angular size data.

Publisher: name: Griffith University

Subjects: subject: migration
subject: Australia

description: The migration from Brazil to Australia is a relatively recent and understudied phenomenon. Brazilians are one of the diasporic communities in Australia that grew the most between 2000 and 2020, and Brazilians have become an increasingly visible presence in urban and coastal cities of Australia. This influx primarily comprises highly educated middle-class migrants who initially arrived in Australia as international students. Their relatively cosmopolitan and privileged profile contrasts with the Brazilian diaspora in other parts of the world and challenges representations of Latin American migrants in wider scholarly literature. The rise in Brazilian migration to Australia coincided with a major shift in the country's immigration landscape - the emergence of 'temporary migration' as a predominant pattern. Historically, from the post-war period until the 1990s, most migrants who entered Australia to reside in the country were granted permanent visas upon selection and arrival, conferring them the status of 'permanent residents'. However, since the 1990s, there has been a notable shift towards temporary visas. Embedded in this transformed paradigm, most Brazilian migrants in Australia hold temporary visas and the legal status of 'temporary residents'. The term 'temporary resident' can be misleading, as it implies residency of a short-term and transient nature. In reality, many migrants find themselves living in Australia with temporary status for several years. This state of legal temporariness is generally imposed by restrictive migration policies. Australia tightly controls the number of permanent visas granted each year, making the process of obtaining one highly competitive and challenging. Consequently, many migrants live in Australia for years as de facto permanent residents but are officially categorised as temporary. 'Temporary residents' occupy a precarious position in Australian society. Despite their contributions through work and tax payments, they are denied many 'universal' rights and services, such as public healthcare, social security, educational funding, and electoral rights. Nevertheless, as explored throughout this thesis, migrants are not passive recipients of these restrictions. When confronted with restrictive migration policies, they exercise agency to navigate imposed temporariness and 'enact permanence', negotiating their temporariness and attempting to transition to more secure visas and statuses. This thesis, therefore, asks: How do migrants negotiate permanence in a context of imposed temporariness? [...]
A new description of transverse momentum spectra of identified particles produced in proton-proton collisions at high energies

description: The transverse momentum spectra of identified particles produced in high energy proton-proton ($p+p$) collisions are empirically described by a new method with the framework of participant quark model or the multisource model at the quark level, in which the source itself is exactly the participant quark. Each participant (constituent) quark contributes to the transverse momentum spectrum, which is described by the TP-like function, a revised Tsallis--Pareto-type function. The transverse momentum spectrum of the hadron is the convolution of two or more TP-like functions. For a lepton, the transverse momentum spectrum is the convolution of two TP-like functions due to two participant quarks, e.g. projectile and target quarks, taking part in the collisions. A discussed theoretical approach seems to describe the $p+p$ collisions data at center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s}=200$ GeV, 2.76 TeV, and 13 TeV very well.

description: In the colliding wind region of early-type binaries, electrons can be accelerated up to relativistic energies displaying power-law spectra, as demonstrated by the detection of non-thermal radio emission from several WR+OB systems. The particle acceleration region, located between the stars, is exposed to strong photon fields in such a way that inverse Compton cooling of the electrons could result in a substantial high-energy non-thermal flux. In particular cases, the ratio of the energy densities of magnetic to photon fields in the colliding wind region will determine whether a given source can produce or not significant gamma-ray emission. We present here a study of the binaries WR 140, WR 146, and WR 147 in the light of recent radio and gamma-ray observations. We show that with reasonable assumptions for the magnetic field strength WR 140 can produce the gamma-ray flux from the EGRET source 3EG J2022+4317. WR 146 and WR 147 are below the detection threshold, but forthcoming instruments like INTEGRAL and GLAST could detect non-thermal emission from them.

description: We investigate the transport properties of a superconducting quantum point contact in the presence of an arbitrary periodic drive. In particular, we calculate the dc current and noise in the tunnel limit, obtaining general expressions in terms of photoassisted probabilities. Interesting features can be observed when the frequency is comparable to the gap. Here, we show that quantized Lorentzian pulses minimize the excess noise, further strengthening the hierarchy among different periodic drives observed in the electron quantum optics domain. In this regime, the excess noise is directly connected to the overlap between electron and hole energy distributions driven out of equilibrium by the applied voltage. In the adiabatic limit, where the frequency of the drive is very small compared to the superconducting gap, we recover the conventional Shapiro-spikes physics in the supercurrent.

description: In this article innovative capability, i.e. the ability of new products and markets development, is analyzed and empirically tested. The results have proven that the companies with more developed innovative capabilities achieve higher performance levels, but that there is no difference in innovative capabilities between large and medium-sized companies. On the other hand, medium-sized companies have slightly higher levels of sales growth and increase in market share. Also, companies in foreign ownership are better at development of new products and new production methods, and they have higher levels of sales growth, market share and increase in market share.

description: We present spectral energy distribution (SED) models for the edge-on classical T Tauri star HH30 IRS that indicate dust grains have grown to larger than 50 microns within its circumstellar disk. The disk geometry and inclination are known from previous modeling of multiwavelength Hubble Space Telescope images and we use the SED to constrain the dust size distribution. Model spectra are shown for different circumstellar dust models: a standard ISM mixture and larger grain models. As compared to ISM grains, the larger dust grain models have a shallower wavelength dependent opacity. Models with the larger dust grains provide a good match to the currently available data, but mid and far-IR observations are required to more tightly constrain the dust size distribution. The accretion luminosity in our models is L_acc<0.2 L_star corresponding to an accretion rate of 4E-9M_sun/yr. Dust size distributions that are simple power-law extensions (i.e., no exponential cutoff) yield acceptable fits to the optical/near-IR but too much emission at mm wavelengths and require larger disk masses. Such a simple size distribution would not be expected in an environment such as the disk of HH30 IRS, particularly over such a large range in grain sizes. However, its ability to adequately characterize the grain populations may be determined from more complete observational sampling of the SED in the mid to far-IR.

description: Analyses of the abundances of neutron-capture elements have led to the belief that these elements in metal-poor stars are r-process products with relative abundances closely resembling those found in the solar system. This picture was challenged by Magain (1995), who found that a pure r-process mix of the barium isotopes was inconsistent with the mix of odd to even barium isotopes derived from analysis of the Ba II line at 4554 A in the spectrum of the metal-poor subgiant HD 140283. In this paper, we address Magain's challenge using new high resolution high signal-to-noise spectra of HD 140283, and find, in contrast to his result, that a solar-like r-process isotopic mixture provides a fair fit to the observed 4554 A profile.

description: Masses and progenitor evolutionary states of TypeII supernovae remain almost unconstrained by direct observations. Only one robust observation of a progenitor (SN1987A) and one plausible observation (SN1993J) are available. Neither matched theoretical predictions and in this Letter we report limits on a third progenitor (SN1999gi). The Hubble Space Telescope has imaged the site of the TypeII-P supernova SN1999gi with the WFPC2 in two filters (F606W and F300W) prior to explosion. The distance to the host galaxy (NGC3184) of 7.9Mpc means that the most luminous, massive stars are resolved as single objects in the archive images. The supernova occurred in a resolved, young OB association 2.3kpc from the centre of NGC3184 with an association age of about 4Myrs. Follow-up images of SN1999gi with WFPC2 taken 14 months after discovery determine the precise position of the SN on the pre-explosion frames. An upper limit of the absolute magnitude of the progenitor is estimated (M_v >= -5.1). By comparison with stellar evolutionary tracks this can be interpreted as a stellar mass, and we determine an upper mass limit of 9(+3/-2)M_solar. We discuss the possibility of determining the masses or mass limits for numerous nearby core-collapse supernovae using the HST archive enhanced by our current SNAP programme.

description: The vector-borne bacterium, Xylella fastidiosa subsp. pauca, has been isolated from olive trees showing olive quick decline syndrome (OQDS) symptoms in different locations of Southeastern Brazil, but the vectors spreading this putative pathogen are unknown in that region. In other crops, this bacterium is transmitted by xylem-sap feeding leafhoppers (sharpshooters) (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Cicadellinae) and spittlebugs (Hemiptera: Cercopoidea). In this study, we showed that 11 sharpshooter and three spittlebug species common in olive orchards of the Mantiqueira Mountain Range Region, Southeastern Brazil, are able to transmit X. fastidiosa subsp. pauca to olive trees. For the transmission assays, field-collected or laboratory-reared adults of each species were first pretested for natural infectivity by confinement with sleeve cages on healthy seedlings of Catharanthus roseus during an inoculation access period (IAP) of 12 h (10-20 insects/plant). After the pretest, the insects were confined with sleeve cages on potted olive trees (cv. Grappolo) infected with X. fastidiosa subsp. pauca (sequence type 16) for an acquisition access period of 24 h, followed by a 24-h IAP on potted healthy olive trees cv. Koroneiki (3-10 insects/plant, depending on the sharpshooter/species) in a protected screenhouse. About 3-5 healthy C. roseus (pretest) and olive (test) plants were not exposed to insects (negative control). All pretest and test plants were assayed by real time PCR at 12 months after inoculation. Estimated transmission rates by single insects (based on 2-3 trials) ranged from 0.4-12.9%.

description: Capital Asset Pricing Model is one of the most popular models applied to explain the risk premium for capital employment. The model has been tested for developed capital markets with conclusions that emphasized many of its imperfections. Some of these imperfections are connected with company characteristics, such as a company’s size, book-to-market value etc. The aim of the research is to test whether the anomalies of the CAPM that have been pointed out so far are also true for Poland. I concentrate on companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange during 2007-2010. The event study is applied to identify these anomalies. The research results reveal that the expected returns approximated by the CAPM are contaminated during the evaluation process. This is in line with the conclusions of a previous research paper discussing developed countries.
Metal Surface Energy: Persistent Cancellation of Short-Range Correlation Effects beyond the Random-Phase Approximation

description: The role that non-local short-range correlation plays at metal surfaces is investigated by analyzing the correlation surface energy into contributions from dynamical density fluctuations of various two-dimensional wave vectors. Although short-range correlation is known to yield considerable correction to the ground-state energy of both uniform and non-uniform systems, short-range correlation effects on intermediate and short-wavelength contributions to the surface formation energy are found to compensate one another. As a result, our calculated surface energies, which are based on a non-local exchange-correlation kernel that provides accurate total energies of a uniform electron gas, are found to be very close to those obtained in the random-phase approximation and support the conclusion that the error introduced by the local-density approximation is small.

description: We study theoretically the scattering of light by an ensemble of $N$ resonant atoms in a sub-wavelength volume. We consider the low intensity regime so that each atom responds linearly to the field. While $N$ non-interacting atoms would scatter $N^2$ more than a single atom, we find that $N$ interacting atoms scatter less than a single atom near resonance. In addition, the scattered power presents strong fluctuations, either from one realization to another or when varying the excitation frequency. We analyze this counter-intuitive behavior in terms of collective modes resulting from the light-induced dipole-dipole interactions. We find that for small samples, their properties are governed only by their volume when $N\gtrsim 20$.

Magnetically Driven Precession of Warped Disks and Milli-Hertz Variabilities in Accreting X-Ray Pulsars

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The inner region of the accretion disk around a magnetized neutron star is subjected to magnetic torques that induce warping and precession of the disk. These torques arise from interactions between the stellar field and the induced electric currents in the disk. We carry out a global analysis of warping/precession modes in a viscous accretion disk, and show that under a wide range of conditions typical of accreting X-ray pulsars, the magnetic warping torque can overcome viscous damping and make the mode grow. The warping/precession modes are concentrated near the inner edge of the disk (at the magnetosphere-disk boundary), and can give rise to variabilities or quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) in the X-ray/UV/optical fluxes from X-ray pulsars. We examine the observed properties of mHz QPOs in several systems (such as 4U 1626-67), and suggest that some hitherto unexplained QPOs are the results of magnetically driven disk warping/precession.

Giant oscillator strength in the band-edge light absorption of zincblende, chalcopyrite and kesterite solar cell materials

description: In semiconducting solar-cell absorbers, high absorption coefficient (alpha) near the band-edge region is critical to maximize the photocurrent generation and collection. Nevertheless, despite the importance of the band-edge absorption characteristics, the quantitative analysis of the band-edge optical transitions has not been performed. In this study, we have implemented systematic density functional theory (DFT) calculation, focusing on the band-edge oscillator strength of seven practical solar cell absorbers (GaAs, InP, CdTe, CuInSe2, CuGaSe2, Cu2ZnSnSe4, and Cu2ZnSnS4) with zincblende, chalcopyrite and kesterite structures. We find that all these crystals exhibit the giant oscillator strength near the band gap region, revealing the fact that alpha in the band gap region is enhanced significantly by the anomalous high oscillator strength. In high-energy optical transitions, however, the oscillator strength reduces sharply and the absorption properties are determined primarily by the joint density-of-state contribution. Based on DFT results, we show that the giant oscillator strength in the band edge region originates from a unique tetrahedral-bonding structure, with a negligible effect of constituent atoms.

description: This paper proposes an empirical method to estimate the model of sustainable profit and corporate social responsibility originated by Sudtasan and Suriya (2013). It suggests analysts to use data from official financial statements of companies which may be reported to the Stock Exchange in a particular country. These data can construct a time series data of a company if the number of years is long enough. Otherwise, the pooled cross-section and time series data from companies in the same industry may allow the construction of a panel data set. Then analysts can apply panel data analysis with fixed effects model and random effects model to estimate the data. These methods aim at locating the position of a company or a group of companies onto a phase diagram and calculate the steady state indicating the sustainability of profit and corporate social responsibility. By comparing the location of companies to the steady state, analysts can predict the direction of the firms in the long-run according to the streamlines in the phase diagram. They will be able to suggest policy manipulation to the firms to move toward the steady state.

 Rhachistia sulphurea — Schileyko, 1998: 169; Hemmen & Hemmen, 2001: 41
 Material examined. – The figured specimen in Tomlin & Peile (1930, pl. 17) is designated herein as the lectotype NMW 1955.158.01155 (Fig. 1A), and the paralectotype BMNH 1939.6.6.17 (Fig. 1B).
  Remarks. –  A bright creamy shell with a yellowish subsutural band clearly distinguishes this species from other known species in this region. Tomlin & Peile (1930) provided a full description of the shell and radula but the genital anatomy is unknown. Our land snail surveys in many locations throughout peninsular Thailand since 1994 have failed to find any specimens that resemble R. sulphurea. If the distribution was restricted to the type locality, Pran, Siam, then it is possible that this species is extinct. Pranburi (= Pran sensu Tomlin & Piele, 1930) lies in an area of western Thailand that has been subjected to extensive deforestation since 1930, with most trees having been felled.

description: In the past years majority of EU members experienced the highest economic decline in their modern history, but impacts of the global financial crisis were not distributed homogeneously across the continent. The aim of the paper is to examine a cohesion of European Union (plus Norway and Iceland) in terms of an economic development of its members from the 1st of January 2008 to the 31st of December 2012. For the study five economic indicators were selected: GDP growth, unemployment, inflation, labour productivity and government debt. Annual data from Eurostat databases were averaged over the whole period and then used as an input for a cluster analysis. It was found that EU countries were divided into six different clusters. The most populated cluster with 14 countries covered Central and West Europe and reflected relative homogeneity of this part of Europe. Countries of Southern Europe (Greece, Portugal and Spain) shared their own cluster of the most affected countries by the recent crisis as well as the Baltics and the Balkans states in another cluster. On the other hand Slovakia and Poland, only two countries that escaped a recession, were classified in their own cluster of the most successful countries.

description: We study property testing of (di)graph properties in bounded-degree graph models. The study of graph properties in bounded-degree models is one of the focal directions of research in property testing in the last 15 years. However, despite of the many results and the extensive research effort, there is no characterization of the properties that are strongly-testable (i.e., testable with constant query complexity) even for $1$-sided error tests. The bounded-degree model can naturally be generalized to directed graphs resulting in two models that were considered in the literature. The first contains the directed graphs in which the outdegree is bounded but the indegree is not restricted. In the other, both the outdegree and indegree are bounded. We give a characterization of the $1$-sided error strongly-testable {\em monotone} graph properties, and the $1$-sided error strongly-testable {\em hereditary} graph properties in all the bounded-degree directed and undirected graphs models.
