description: We study the influence of gravitational microlensing on the AGN Fe K-alpha line confirming that unexpected enhancements recently detected in the iron line of some AGNs can be produced by this effect. We use a ray tracing method to study the influence of microlensing in the emission coming from a compact accretion disc considering both geometries, Schwarzschild and Kerr. Thanks to the small dimensions of the region producing the AGN Fe K-alpha line, the Einstein Ring Radii associated to even very small compact objects have size comparable to the accretion disc hence producing noticeable changes in the line profiles. Asymmetrical enhancements contributing differently to the peaks or to the core of the line are produced by a microlens, off-centered with respect to the accretion disc. In the standard configuration of microlensing by a compact object in an intervening galaxy, we found that the effects on the iron line are two orders of magnitude larger than those expected in the optical or UV emission lines. In particular, microlensing can satisfactorily explain the excess in the iron line emission found very recently in two gravitational lens systems, H 1413+117 and MG J0414+0534. Exploring other physical {scenario} for microlensing, we found that compact objects (of the order of one Solar mass) which belong to {the bulge or the halo} of the host galaxy can also produce significant changes in the Fe K$_α$ line profile of an AGN. However, the optical depth estimated for this type of microlensing is {very small, $τ\sim 0.001$, even in a favorable case.

subject: Mothers Case studiesAustralia Armidale (N.S.W.)

description: This study is concerned with the family intentions of married women in Armidale, a medium sized country town in northern New South Wales. The surveyed women had their first baby in 1976, a year when the two child family was the preference of a majority of Australian women. Previously recorded differentials in family size such as religion, age at marriage and education had narrowed to the point where they were barely measurable. The study focuses on fertility in an extra metropolitan area, the timing of the first birth after marriage as a life cycle event, the spacing of further children and the ultimate family size anticipated.
Diffusion in rare-gas liquids : an experimental study
Creators: name: Srinivasan, Kandadai
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1981
Subjects: subject: Liquefied gases
subject: Gases, Rare
subject: Diffusion

description: This thesis describes the design and development of an apparatus for measuring the diffusion coefficients of cryogenic liquids. The diaphragm cell method is used. The experimental apparatus has a facility for the continuous monitoring of a radioactive tracer which is diffusing across a sintered stainless steel diaphragm. A scintillation counter assembly consisting of a cesium iodide crystal, a lucite light guide and a photomultiplier tube is used for this purpose. A temperature control method is incorporated which is capable of maintaining a set temperature to within ± 0.03 K in space and time. Modified equations for the diaphragm cell are derived for the case of continuous monitoring. It is shown that neither the initial concentrations of the two compartments of the cell nor the exact starting time of diffusion are necessary to compute the diffusion coefficient. The apparatus is used to measure the tracer diffusion coefficients of krypton in liquid argon over a temperature range of 85 - 103 K. The present data are discussed in relation to some other experimental and computer simulation results.

Two conceptions of the tribal geography of the Royal Scythian Empire in classical literary tradition

Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1981
Subjects: subject: Human geography Iran
subject: Greek literature
subject: Scythians Fiction

description: From the late 6th to the late 4th centuries B.C. there existed in the lands between the Danube and the Don a confederation of tribal peoples of various racial and linguistic backgrounds under the overlordship of a nomadic Iranian-speaking tribal group sometimes referred to by the Greeks as the Bασιλήιοι Σϰύϑαι or 'Royal Scythians'. It is necessary to use the word 'sometimes', as the subject of the present research is in fact the varied conceptions in Classical Greek literature of the tribal geography (the distribution and inter-relation of the tribes) of this confederation. For convenience the historical entity will be referred to throughout this paper as 'The Royal Scythian Empire'. It is not however the historical questions related to the birth, development and dis .integration of this Empire which are the concern of this research, but rather historiographical questions: not such questions as how in reality the Empire was organised, but how the Greek writers perceived the Empire to be organised .

description: During the last decades, the urge to support Regions’ competitive positioning within the knowledge-based global economy has been perceived as a priority. Given this emerging need, the concept of regional clusters has become increasingly central to support the decision-making process and guide economic development strategies. This paper aims at contributing to the debate on the role of clusters as the key engine of regions economic development, with a specific focus on local clusters. This argument is discussed through actualizing the study on the case of the San Diego Metropolitan Statistical Area (SD MSA), California. Firstly, an insightful review of relevant works on the topic of clusters is offered. Secondly, the attention shifts on the Case of the SD MSA, which is investigated through a twofold methodological approach, validated in compliance to the MAPS LED project. Accordingly, a sample of highly performing local cluster is selected and studied both quantitatively (using indicators) and spatially (through the GIS mapping). Ultimately, the study offers a comprehensive picture about San Diego local economy by coupling quantitative and spatial analysis. In addition, the study offers insights to policy makers on the potentials of clusters spatialization as a supportive tool for effective decision-making.

description: The galaxy M 87 harbors a kiloparsec-scale relativistic jet, whose origin coincides with a supermassive black hole. Observational mm-VLBI campaigns are capable of resolving the jet-launching region at the scale of the event horizon. In order to provide a context for interpreting these observations, realistic general-relativistic magnetohydrodynamical (GRMHD) models of the accretion flow are constructed. The characteristics of the observed spectral-energy distribution (SED) depend on the shape of the electrons' energy-distribution function (eDF). The dependency on the eDF is omitted in the modeling of the first Event Horizon Telescope results. In this work, we aim to model the M 87 SED from radio up to NIR/optical frequencies using a thermal-relativistic Maxwell- Jüttner distribution, as well as a relativistic $κ$-distribution function. The electrons are injected based on sub-grid, particle-in-cell parametrizations for sub-relativistic reconnection. A GRMHD simulation in Cartesian-Kerr-Schild coordinates, using eight levels of adaptive mesh refinement (AMR), forms the basis of our model. To obtain spectra and images, the GRMHD data is post-processed with the ray-tracing code RAPTOR, which is capable of ray tracing through AMR GRMHD simulation data. We obtain radio spectra in both the thermal-jet and $κ$-jet models consistent with radio observations. Additionally, the $κ$-jet models also recover the NIR/optical emission. The models recover the observed source sizes and core shifts and obtain a jet power of $\approx 10^{43}$ ergs/s. In the $κ$-jet models, both the accretion rates and jet powers are approximately two times lower than the thermal-jet model. The frequency cut-off observed at $ν\approx 10^{15}$ Hz is recovered when the accelerator size is $10^6$ - $10^8$ cm, this could potentially point to an upper limit for plasmoid sizes in the jet of M 87.

Dissertation Ownership in Doctoral Education: A Legal and Ethical Analysis of Intellectual Property Rights Between Doctoral Candidates and Universities; A Case Study in Poland
Creators: name: Davoudpour, Amirali R.
Publisher: name: Journal of Iranian International Legal Studies
Year: 2025

description: Abstract

The question of who owns a doctoral dissertation—the university or the doctoral candidate—remains a complex issue situated at the intersection of intellectual property law, academic governance, and research ethics. This paper examines the legal frameworks, university policies, scholarship agreements, and relevant case law that shape ownership claims over doctoral dissertations. Focusing on European and North American contexts, particularly Poland and the United States, it explores the distinction between moral and economic rights, and analyzes how scholarship contracts, internal regulations, and disciplinary proceedings impact the student’s ability to control their work. The study argues for greater transparency, legal clarity, and institutional accountability in defining the ownership and usage rights of doctoral dissertations.

On the stochastic mechanics of the free relativistic particle

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Given a positive energy solution of the Klein-Gordon equation, the motion of the free, spinless, relativistic particle is described in a fixed Lorentz frame by a Markov diffusion process with non-constant diffusion coefficient. Proper time is an increasing stochastic process and we derive a probabilistic generalization of the equation $(dτ)^2=-\frac{1}{c^2}dX_νdX_ν$. A random time-change transformation provides the bridge between the $t$ and the $τ$ domain. In the $τ$ domain, we obtain an $\M^4$-valued Markov process with singular and constant diffusion coefficient. The square modulus of the Klein-Gordon solution is an invariant, non integrable density for this Markov process. It satisfies a relativistically covariant continuity equation.
Age at first marriage and fertility in Korea
Creators: name: Kim, Tai Hun
Publisher: name: Canberra, ACT : The Australian National University
Year: 1981
Subjects: subject: Fertility, Human Korea (South)

description: This thesis is an attempt to study the relation between age at first marriage and fertility of ever married women in Korea. The relation was analyzed chiefly according to birth intervals and under family planning. The data source is the 1974 Korean National Fertility Survey. Fertility in Korea has experienced a remarkable decline in a short period (last 15 years) which coincides with the period of intensive, public and private efforts in the promotion of family planning and rapid economic growth. As a result, the large differences in age at first marriage, fertility, and contraceptive practice, which existed between urban and rural areas, higher and lower levels of education, and non-agricultural and agricultural workers, are decreasing according to economic and social development, while at the same time, the structure of the Korean population is changing continuously. Although since 1962 contraception has become an important factor in determining fertility through achievement of preferred numbers and sex of children, age at first marriage in Korea is still a major determinant of the lowering of fertility. Increase in age at first marriage, with decline in proportions married, have contributed to the decline in marital fertility. The lengths of the birth intervals from the second birth tend to be equal among all of the age at first marriage groups. The mean number of children wanted and the mean ideal number of children decrease with the delay of age at first marriage. Moreover, Korean women generally use contraceptive methods to stop giving birth completely after having their ideal number and sex-composition of children, not to lengthen the interval between births. Also, the differences in current use of contraception by age at first marriage are not significant. In this context, the high age at first marriage in Korea means a smaller number of married women currently exposed to pregnancy and a shorter period of exposure.
Conformally Soft Theorem In Gravity

Year: 2019

description: A central feature of scattering amplitudes in gravity or gauge theory is the existence of a variety of energetically soft theorems which put constraints on the amplitudes. Celestial amplitudes which are obtained from momentum-space amplitudes by a Mellin transform over the external particle energies cannot obey the usual energetically soft theorems. Instead, the symmetries of the celestial sphere imply that the scattering of conformally soft particles whose conformal weights under the 4D Lorentz group SL(2,C) are taken to zero obey special relations. Such conformally soft theorems have recently been found for gauge theory. Here, I show conformally soft factorization of celestial amplitudes for gravity and identify it as the celestial analogue of Weinberg's soft graviton theorem.

Subjects: subject: Fujian Sheng (China) Economic conditions History

description: The region of South Fukien did not develop economically to any marked degree until the Sung dynasty. Its development during the Sung can be divided into three periods. The first period lasted from the rule of the independent local warlords to the last quarter of the eleventh century . During this one hundred years, agriculture underwent improvements which made substantial population growth and accumulation of capital possible . This generated a substantial momentum for development in commerce by local merchants, and a flourishing transit trade . The second period , which lasted to the end of the twelfth century , was a time of general prosperity in the region's economy. The overseas trade now became a mixture of transit and export trade and expanded to an unprecedented extent, and other economic sectors developed in response to this commercial boom. The third phase - the latter half of the Southern Sung - was a time when overseas trade declined markedly and problems appeared in the local economy. The region turned its commercial orientation from overseas to domestic trade and was not able to enjoy the balanced prosperity it had earlier.

description: The enzyme-catalyzed transesterification reaction is an important route to realize the resolution of racemic optically active secondary alcohols. However, this route suffers from the high environment and engineering risks due to the usage of vinyl ester as acyl donor. In this work, an alternative acyl donor, ethyl butyrate, was used because it is more environment-friendly and catalyst-friendly. The kinetic studies on transesterification of 1-phenylethanol with ethyl butyrate catalyzed by immobilized-lipase Novozym™ 435 were carried out. The effects of agitation speed, reaction temperature, catalyst loading and initial molar ratio of reactants were investigated. The Ping-Pong-Bi-Bi and pseudo-homogeneous models were used to correlate the experimental data to estimate the kinetic parameters. The concentration-based Ping-Pong-Bi-Bi model was translated into its activity-based form to describe the non-ideality of the lipase-catalyzed reaction system. The activity-based Ping-Pong-Bi-Bi kinetic model performed best among all the models used.

description: We outline a simple procedure designed for \emph{automatically} finding sets of multiple images in strong lensing (SL) clusters. We show that by combining (a) an arc-finding (or source extracting) program, (b) photometric redshift measurements, and (c) a preliminary light-traces-mass lens model, multiple-image systems can be identified in a fully automated (`blind') manner. The presented procedure yields an assessment of the likelihood of each arc to belong to one of the multiple-image systems, as well as the preferred redshift for the different systems. These could be then used to automatically constrain and refine the initial lens model for an accurate mass distribution. We apply this procedure to \emph{Cluster Lensing And Supernova with Hubble} observations of three galaxy clusters, MACS J0329.6-0211, MACS J1720.2+3536, and MACS J1931.8-2635, comparing the results to published SL analyses where multiple images were verified by eye on a particular basis. In the first cluster all originally identified systems are recovered by the automated procedure, and in the second and third clusters about half are recovered. Other known systems are not picked up, in part due to a crude choice of parameters, ambiguous photometric redshifts, or inaccuracy of the initial lens model. On top of real systems recovered, some false images are also mistakenly identified by the procedure, depending on the thresholds used. While further improvements to the procedure and a more thorough scrutinisation of its performance are warranted, the work constitutes another important step toward fully automatising SL analyses for studying mass distributions of large cluster samples.

description: This thesis examines the ideology of chieftainship in Cakaudrove, a confederation of chiefdoms in eastern Fiji, and then contrasts it with the reality of power possession. According to the ideology, the paramount Tui Cakau was a godlike figure who, by mediating between the temporal and spiritual worlds, controlled the material and political prosperity of the confederation. His senior descent from the ancestor-gods, and his access to their supernatural powers, gave him the right to hold the paramouncy. Any challenge to this right was a challenge to the religious basis of the society: custom asserts that supernatural punishment would be the consequence. Yet an historical perspective reveals that challenges to ruling lineages were normal. The i Sokula -- the semi-divine lineage headed by the Tui Cakau -- achieved their own pre-eminence relatively recently, while an examination of political configurations before their emergence indicates that their rise did not take place in the context of an immutable power structure. There was nothing unusual in a newly emergent group overpowering others; rebellions against the authority of established leaders were normal. Control of the supernatural is no explanation of power possession, therefore. Rather, a powerful position may be explained by the successful use of human resources. Access could be acquired either by overt political relationships, or by tho forming of sociopolitical relationships -- marriage and kinship connexions. Subordinate peoples and allies were a source of both labour, and the produce of their labour, which could be used to purchase, encourage, or enforce allegiance and support. Such power resources needed to be used skilfully so leaders could receive the maximum benefit from their expenditure; thus the politically astute could increase their power. Such conclusions, while placing Cakaudrove within the historically realistic context of a constantly changing balance of power, help elucidate the history of Caknudrove after the initial emergence of the i Sokula. Competitions for power among the i Sokula themselves indicate that political status needed to be achieved, and then maintained against the encroachment of other relatives; the ideological sacredness of the Tui Cakau is, invariably, at odds with the reality of his genealogical rank and often at odds with his actual role. The history of Cakaudrove' s development and the i Sokula's relationships with other powerful Fijian lineages and a Tongan chief illuntrate the complexity of Fijian politics: power positions needed to be achieved and then constantly maintained. The i Sokula managed to withstand pressure from the confederation of Bau, but the Tongan was to dispossess the i Sokula of their territory of northern Lau, n rich power resource.

description: Due to image blurring image deconvolution is often used for studying biological structures in fluorescence microscopy. Fluorescence microscopy image volumes inherently suffer from intensity inhomogeneity, blur, and are corrupted by various types of noise which exacerbate image quality at deeper tissue depth. Therefore, quantitative analysis of fluorescence microscopy in deeper tissue still remains a challenge. This paper presents a three dimensional blind image deconvolution method for fluorescence microscopy using 3-way spatially constrained cycle-consistent adversarial networks. The restored volumes of the proposed deconvolution method and other well-known deconvolution methods, denoising methods, and an inhomogeneity correction method are visually and numerically evaluated. Experimental results indicate that the proposed method can restore and improve the quality of blurred and noisy deep depth microscopy image visually and quantitatively.

description: The mass evolution of protoplanetary disks is driven by both internal processes and external factors, such as photoevaporation. Disentangling these two effects, however, has remained difficult. We measure the dust masses of a sample of 132 disks in the Orion Molecular Cloud (OMC)-2 region, and compare them to (i) externally photoevaporated disks in the Trapezium cluster, and (ii) disks in nearby low-mass star forming regions (SFRs). This allows us to test if initial disk properties are the same in high- and low-mass SFRs, and enables a direct measurement of the effect of external photoevaporation on disks. A ~ $20' \times 4'$ mosaic of 3 mm continuum observations from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) was used to measure the fluxes of 132 disks and 35 protostars >0.5 pc away from the Trapezium. We identify and characterize a sample of 34 point sources not included in the Spitzer catalog on which the sample is based. Of the disks, 37 (28%) are detected, with masses ranging from 7-270 M_e. The detection rate for protostars is higher at 69%. Disks near the Trapezium are found to be less massive by a factor $0.18^{+0.18}_{-0.11}$, implying a mass loss rate of $8\times10^{-8}$ M_sun/yr. Our observations allow us to distinguish the impact of time and environment on disk evolution in a single SFR. The disk mass distribution in OMC-2 is statistically indistinguishable from that in nearby low-mass SFRs, like Lupus and Taurus. We conclude that age is the main factor determining the evolution of these disks. This result is robust with respect to assumptions of dust temperature, sample incompleteness and biases. The difference between the OMC-2 and Trapezium cluster samples is consistent with mass loss driven by far-ultraviolet radiation near the Trapezium. Together, this implies that in isolation, disk formation and evolution proceed similarly, regardless of cloud mass.

description: For the purpose of analyzing non-perturbative dynamics of string theory, Nishimura and Sugino have applied an improved mean field approximation (IMFA) to IIB matrix model. We have extracted the essence of the IMFA and obtained a general scheme, an improved Taylor expansion, that can be applied to a wide class of series which is not necessarily convergent. This approximation scheme with the help of the 2PI free energy enables us to perform higher order calculations. We have shown that the value of the free energy is stable at higher orders, which supports the validity of the approximation. Moreover, the ratio between the extent of ``our'' space-time and that of the internal space is found to increase rapidly as we take the higher orders into account. Our results suggest that the four dimensional space-time emerges spontaneously in IIB matrix model.

description: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) often metastasizes to the brain, but identifying which patients will develop brain metastases (BM) is difficult. Macroautophagy/autophagy is critical for cancer initiation and progression. We hypothesized that genetic variants of autophagy-related genes may affect brain metastases (BM) in NSCLC patients. We genotyped 16 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 7 autophagy-related (ATG) genes (ATG3, ATG5, ATG7, ATG10, ATG12, ATG16L1, and MAP1LC3/LC3) by using DNA from blood samples of 323 NSCLC patients. Further, we evaluated the potential associations of these genes with subsequent BM development. Lung cancer cell lines stably transfected with ATG16L1: rs2241880 (T300A) were established. Mouse models of brain metastasis were developed using cells transfected with ATG16L1-300T or ATG16L1-300A. ATG10: rs10036653 and ATG16L1: rs2241880 were significantly associated with a decreased risk of BM (respective hazard ratios [HRs] = 0.596, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.398–0.894, P = 0.012; and HR = 0. 655, 95% CI 0.438–0.978, P = 0.039, respectively). ATG12: rs26532 was significantly associated with an increased risk of BM (HR = 1.644, 95% CI 1.049–2.576, P = 0.030). Invasion and migration assays indicated that transfection with ATG16L1-300T (vs. 300A) stimulated the migration of A549 cells. An in vivo metastasis assay revealed that transfection with ATG16L1-300T (vs. 300A) significantly increased brain metastasis. Our results indicate that genetic variations in autophagy-related genes can predict BM and that genome analysis would facilitate stratification of patients for BM prevention trials.

description: Many black hole spacetimes with a 3-form field exhibit a hidden symmetry encoded in a torsion generalization of the principal Killing--Yano tensor. This tensor determines basic properties of such black holes while also underlying the separability of the Hamilton--Jacobi, Klein--Gordon, and (torsion-modified) Dirac field equations in their background. As a specific example, we consider the Chong--Cvetič--Lü--Pope black hole of $D=5$ minimal gauged supergravity and show that the torsion-modified vector field equations can also be separated, with the principal tensor playing a key role in the separability ansatz. For comparison, separability of the Proca field in higher-dimensional Kerr--NUT--AdS spacetimes (including new explicit formulae in odd dimensions) is also presented.

The Relationship Between Gas Content and Star Formation in Molecule-Rich Spiral Galaxies

description: We investigate the relationship between HI, H_2, and the star formation rate (SFR) using azimuthally averaged data for seven CO-bright spiral galaxies. Contrary to some earlier studies based on global fluxes, we find that the SFR surface density exhibits a much stronger correlation with the H_2 than with the HI, as the HI surface density saturates at a value of $\sim$10 Msol pc^{-2} or even declines at large SFR surface densities. Hence the good correlation between the SFR surface density and the total (HI+H_2) gas surface density is driven by the molecular component in these galaxies. We find no clear evidence for a link between the gravitational instability parameter for the gas disk (Q_g) and the SFR, and suggest that Q_g be considered a measure of the gas fraction. This implies that for a state of marginal gravitational stability to exist in galaxies with low gas fractions, it must be due to instability of the stellar disk. In regions where we have both HI and CO measurements, the ratio of HI to H_2 surface density scales with radius R as roughly R^{1.5}, and we suggest that the balance between HI and H_2 is determined primarily by the midplane interstellar pressure. These results favor a "law" of star formation in quiescent disks in which the ambient pressure and metallicity control the formation of molecular clouds from HI, with star formation then occurring at a roughly constant rate per unit H_2 mass.
