0166 Fascist Italy’s Ossuaries of the First World War: Objects or Symbols?
Creators: name: Malone, Hannah
Publisher: name: RIHA Journal
Year: 2017

description: This paper focuses on Italy’s Fascist ossuaries of the First World War. It is intended to show how a methodology that uses images and texts can expose the political purposes that underpinned the creation of the ossuaries, to contribute to the literature on the commemoration of fallen soldiers, and to advance the study of war monuments as expressions of political forces. The paper also represents an attempt to bridge between different approaches to the study of war monuments that have emerged in history and in visual studies. It examines Italian ossuaries of the Great War as both objects and symbols, or as aesthetic configurations and carriers of political meanings. Physical characteristics, such as those associated with context, space and style, are shown to express elements of Fascist ideology relating, for instance, to hierarchy, victory and power.

description: We establish an effective Markov theory for the rotational Brownian motion of hot nanobeads and nanorods. Compact analytical expressions for the effective temperature and friction are derived from the fluctuating hydrodynamic equations of motion. They are verified by comparison with recent measurements and with GPU powered parallel molecular dynamics simulations over a wide temperature range. This provides unique insights into the physics of hot Brownian motion and an excellent starting point for further experimental tests and applications involving laser-heated nanobeads, nanorods and Janus particles.

description: The circadian stimulus is an important, validated and updated metric that describes the invisible influences of light on the human circadian system explicitly and scientifically. However, an absolute spectral power distribution must be supplied for its computation, which is only measurable by an expensive and complicated spectrometer. This paper proposes an alternative circadian stimulus computation model that is identified as the function CS(z, Eᵥ) for white light sources based on the most common and simplest parameters of illuminance Ev in lux and the chromaticity coordinate z. These parameters are well known and widely used in both colour science and lighting technology. In order to prove the accuracy and availability of the model, an internal validation was performed with the adapted method repeating split data to check the goodness of the model fit. The fitted model achieved a maximum residual of 0.058 in the circadian stimulus quantity (R²= 0.998). An external validation with the maximum residual of 0.030 (R² = 0.999) provided stronger evidence for the usability of the model in applications.

description: We compare the emission at multiple wavelengths of an extended Seyfert galaxy sample, including both types of Seyfert nuclei. We use the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory to observe the CO J = 2-1 transition line in a sample of 45 Seyfert galaxies and detect 35 of them. The galaxies are selected by their joint soft X-ray (0.1-2.4 keV) and far-infrared (λ = 60-100 μm) emission from the ROSAT/IRAS sample. Since the CO line widths (W CO) reflect the orbital motion in the gravitational potential of the host galaxy, we study how the kinematics are affected by the central massive black hole (BH), using the X-ray luminosity. A significant correlation is found between the CO line width and hard (0.3-8 keV from Chandra and XMM-Newton) X-ray luminosity for both types of Seyfert nuclei. Assuming an Eddington accretion to estimate the BH mass (M BH) from the X-ray luminosity, the W CO-L X relation establishes a direct connection between the kinematics of the molecular gas of the host galaxy and the nuclear activity, and corroborates the previous studies that show that the CO is a good surrogate for the bulge mass. We also find a tight correlation between the (soft and hard) X-ray and the CO luminosities for both Seyfert types. These results indicate a direct relation between the molecular gas (i.e., star formation activity) of the host galaxy and the nuclear activity. To establish a clear causal connection between molecular gas and the fueling of nuclear activity, high-resolution maps (<100 pc) of the CO emission of our sample will be required and provided in a forthcoming Atacama Large Millimeter Array observation.

description: The weather at Xinglong Observing Station, where the Guo Shou Jing Telescope (GSJT) is located, is strongly affected by the monsoon climate in north-east China. The LAMOST survey strategy is constrained by these weather patterns. In this paper, we present a statistics on observing hours from 2004 to 2007, and the sky brightness, seeing, and sky transparency from 1995 to 2011 at the site. We investigate effects of the site conditions on the survey plan. Operable hours each month shows strong correlation with season: on average there are 8 operable hours per night available in December, but only 1-2 hours in July and August. The seeing and the sky transparency also vary with seasons. Although the seeing is worse in windy winters, and the atmospheric extinction is worse in the spring and summer, the site is adequate for the proposed scientific program of LAMOST survey. With a Monte Carlo simulation using historical data on the site condition, we find that the available observation hours constrain the survey footprint from 22h to 16h in right ascension; the sky brightness allows LAMOST to obtain the limit magnitude of V = 19.5mag with S/N = 10.

description: The Momentum Average approximation is used to derive a new kind of non-perturbational analytical expression for the optical conductivity (OC) of a Holstein polaron at zero temperature. This provides insight into the shape of the OC, by linking it to the structure of the polaron's phonon cloud. Our method works in any dimension, properly enforces selection rules, can be systematically improved, and also generalizes to momentum-dependent couplings. Its accuracy is demonstrated by a comparison with the first detailed set of three-dimensional numerical OC results, obtained using the approximation-free diagrammatic Monte Carlo method.

description: Using the conventional approach of superposing plane waves, it is not possible to create a strictly isotropic turbulent magnetic field structure that obeys all physical constraints, which are (i) equal mean of all magnetic field components; (ii) isotropy of the wave vectors; and (iii) vanishing divergence of the magnetic field. Such magnetic fields are widely implemented in test-particle Monte-Carlo simulations, which are used to obtain (i) scattering mean free paths of charged particles; (ii) field line diffusion coefficients. It is shown that, while the turbulent magnetic field strength plays an important role for the results, such does not seem to be the case for a non-zero magnetic field divergence and/or the isotropy of the wave vectors.

description: In quantum mechanics the time operator $Θ$ satisfies the commutation relation $[Θ,H]=i$, and thus it may be thought of as being canonically conjugate to the Hamiltonian $H$. The time operator associated with a given Hamiltonian $H$ is not unique because one can replace $Θ$ by $Θ+ Θ_{\rm hom}$, where $Θ_{\rm hom}$ satisfies the homogeneous condition $[Θ_{\rm hom},H]=0$. To study this nonuniqueness the matrix elements of $Θ$ for the harmonic-oscillator Hamiltonian are calculated in the eigenstate basis. This calculation requires the summation of divergent series, and the summation is accomplished by using zeta-summation techniques. It is shown that by including appropriate homogeneous contributions, the matrix elements of $Θ$ simplify dramatically. However, it is still not clear whether there is an optimally simple representation of the time operator.

azide- and alkyne-double functionalised graphene oxide

description: Rectangular graphene-oxide (GO) and azide- and alkyne-double functionalised graphene oxide (C2GO) sheets. The structures improve on commonly applied protocol of randomly placing oxidised functional groups, which we now know is an incomplete model of GO structure. Instead, we recreate the two-phase nature of oxidised and unoxidised graphene domains observed in microscopy experiments. The location of oxygen containing functional groups is determined by the reactivity possible oxidisation sites. Successive oxidised groups are added to the graphene skeleton in a realistic fashion using experimentally derived reactivities. In this way, an accurate structure of GO and C2GO, with separate aromatic and highly oxidised domains are produced.
title: Numerical homogenization of the Eshelby tensor at small strains
Creators: name: Kuhn, Charlotte

name: Gross, Dietmar
Publisher: name: SAGE Publications
Year: 2023

description: Numerical homogenization methods, such as the FE² approach, are widely used to compute the effective physical properties of microstructured materials. Thereby, the macroscopic material law is replaced by the solution of a microscopic boundary value problem on a representative volume element in conjunction with appropriate averaging techniques. This concept can be extended to configurational or material quantities, like the Eshelby stress tensor, which are associated with configurational changes of continuum bodies. In this work, the focus is on the computation of the macroscopic Eshelby stress tensor within a small-strain setting. The macroscopic Eshelby stress tensor is defined as the volume average of its microscopic counterpart. On the microscale, the Eshelby stress tensor can be computed from quantities known from the solution of the physical microscopic boundary value problem. However, in contrast to the physical quantities of interest, i.e. stress and strain, the Eshelby stress tensor is sensitive to rigid body rotations of the representative volume element. In this work, it is demonstrated how this must be taken into account in the computation of the macroscopic Eshelby stress tensor. The theoretical findings are illustrated by a benchmark simulation and further simulation results indicate the microstructural influence on the macroscopic configurational forces.

3D astrophotonic tricouplers for nulling interferometry
Creators: name: Arcadi, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2023
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Nulling interferometry was first proposed back in the 1970’s and has since proven to be a promising technique for imaging exoplanets, overcoming the contrast and angular resolution limitations of single telescopes. This technique, implemented inside an integrated optical circuit, is used by the Guided Light Interferometric Nulling Technology (GLINT) instrument on the Subaru Coronagraphic Extreme Adaptive Optics system (SCExAO) at the Subaru Telescope in Hawaii. An upgrade to GLINT will use 3D waveguide tricouplers to simultaneously achieve nulling and perform fringe tracking for providing the required high contrast at small angular resolution to detect exoplanets. A tricoupler is a waveguide device with 3 inputs and 3 outputs, that unlike a 2D directional coupler, can provide achromatic interferometric suppression of the star light. This thesis investigates the fabrication of perfectly symmetric tricouplers for both, the astronomical J- and H-band, using the femtosecond laser direct-write technique. A symmetric tricoupler exhibits equal splitting ratios between all 3 waveguides. The coupled-mode equations for the tricouplers are numerically solved and fitted to experimental results to determine coupling coefficients and dephasing parameters. Starting from a directional coupler with 2 inputs and 2 outputs, the tricouplers are sequentially optimised. Using the coupled-mode equation results, the device geometry and fabrication parameters are adapted, yielding nearly perfectly symmetric tricouplers. Furthermore, stellar light is unpolarised, thus the polarisation dependent characteristics of the laser-written tricouplers are presented.

description: In this paper, we shall study the dynamical behavior of the universe accelerated by the so called Veneziano ghost dark energy component locally and globally by using the linearization and nullcline method developed in this paper. The energy density is generalized to be proportional to the Hawking temperature defined on the trapping horizon instead of Hubble horizon of the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) universe. We also give a prediction of the fate of the universe and present the bifurcation phenomenon of the dynamical system of the universe. It seems that the universe could be dominated by dark energy at present in some region of the parameter space.

description: To meet the increasing demand for mass-produced microalgae, production processes must be optimised and monitored. The herein described optical sensors provide an instantaneous and direct opportunity to monitor biological and biochemical information for microalgae cultivation. Combination of expertise in natural science and engineering, as well as the application of novel data acquisition and analysis methods, are required to develop an appropriate system for industrial purpose. Prior to this, the correlation between biological and physical parameters must be determined. In this work, we combined colour science with the experimentally determined dataset from the cultivation of Microchloropsis salina. Our results indicate a resilient correlation between algal biomass and its specific pigment concentration with the determined reflection spectrum. Data evaluation allowed us to establish identification models for contactless quantification of the respective biological parameter in large-scale automated bioreactors.

description: We update instability and metastability bounds of the Standard Model electroweak vacuum in view of the recent ATLAS and CMS Higgs results. For a Higgs mass in the range 124--126 GeV, and for the current central values of the top mass and strong coupling constant, the Higgs potential develops an instability around $10^{11}$ GeV, with a lifetime much longer than the age of the Universe. However, taking into account theoretical and experimental errors, stability up to the Planck scale cannot be excluded. Stability at finite temperature implies an upper bound on the reheat temperature after inflation, which depends critically on the precise values of the Higgs and top masses. A Higgs mass in the range 124--126 GeV is compatible with very high values of the reheating temperature, without conflict with mechanisms of baryogenesis such as leptogenesis. We derive an upper bound on the mass of heavy right-handed neutrinos by requiring that their Yukawa couplings do not destabilize the Higgs potential.

description: The effects of laser-induced prealignment on the deflection of paramagnetic molecules by inhomogeneous static magnetic field are studied. Depending on the relevant Hund's coupling case of the molecule, two different effects were identified: either suppression of the deflection by laser pulses (Hund's coupling case (a) molecules, such as ClO), or a dramatic reconstruction of the broad distribution of the scattering angles into several narrow peaks (for Hund's coupling case (b) molecules, such as O2 or NH). These findings are important for various applications using molecular guiding, focusing and trapping with the help of magnetic fields.

description: Reconstruction of biochemical reaction networks is a central topic in systems biology which raises crucial theoretical challenges in system identification. Nonlinear Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) that involve polynomial and rational functions are typically used to model biochemical reaction networks. Such nonlinear models make the problem of determining the connectivity of biochemical networks from time-series experimental data quite difficult. In this paper, we present a network reconstruction algorithm that can deal with model descriptions under the form of polynomial and rational functions. Rather than identifying the parameters of linear or nonlinear ODEs characterised by pre-defined equation structures, our methodology allows us to determine the nonlinear ODEs structure together with their associated reaction constants. To solve the network reconstruction problem, we cast it as a Compressive Sensing (CS) problem and use Bayesian Sparse Learning (BSL) algorithms as an efficient way to obtain its solution.

description: We describe the footprint and input catalog for bright nights in the LAMOST Pilot Survey, which began in October 2011. Targets are selected from two stripes in the north and south Galactic Cap regions, centered at $α$= 29$^\circ$, with 10$^\circ$ width in declination, covering right ascension of 135$^\circ-290^\circ$ and -30$^\circ$ to 30$^\circ$ respectively. We selected spectroscopic targets from a combination of the SDSS and 2MASS point source catalogs. The catalog of stars defining the field centers (as required by the Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor at the center of the LAMOST field) consists of all V < 8m stars from the Hipparcos catalog. We employ a statistical selection algorithm that assigns priorities to targets based on their positions in multidimensional color/magnitude space. This scheme overemphasizes rare objects and de-emphasizes more populated regions of magnitude and color phase space, while ensuring a smooth, well-understood selection function. A demonstration of plate design is presented based on the Shack-Hartmann star catalog and an input catalog that was generated by our target selection routines.

description: At which height will a prominence inclined to be unstable, or where is the most probable critical height for the prominence destabilization? This question is statistically studied based on 362 solar limb prominences well-recognized by SLIPCAT from 2007 April to the end of 2009. We found that there are about 71% disrupted prominences (DPs), among which about 42% of them did not erupt successfully and about 89% of them experienced a sudden destabilization (SD) process. After a comprehensive analysis of the DPs, the following findings are discovered. (1) Most DPs become unstable at the height of 0.06 -- 0.14 R$_\odot$ from the solar surface, and there are two most probable critical heights, at which a prominence is much likely to get unstable; the primary one is 0.13 R$_\odot$ and the secondary one is 0.19 R$_\odot$. (2) There exists upper limit for the erupting velocity of eruptive prominences (EPs), which decreases following a power law with increasing height and mass; the kinetic energy of EPs accordingly has an upper limit too, which decreases as critical height increases. (3) Stable prominences (SPs) are generally longer and heavier than DPs, and not higher than 0.4 R$_\odot$. (4) About 62% of EPs were associated with CMEs; but there is no difference in apparent properties between EPs associated with and without CMEs.

description: The Carnegie Supernova Project (CSP) was a five-year observational survey conducted at Las Campanas Observatory that obtained, among other things, high-quality light curves of ~100 low-redshift Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). Presented here is the second data release of nearby SN Ia photometry consisting of 50 objects, with a subset of 45 having near-infrared follow-up observations. Thirty-three objects have optical pre-maximum coverage with a subset of 15 beginning at least 5 days before maximum light. In the near-infrared, 27 objects have coverage beginning before the epoch of B-band maximum, with a subset of 13 beginning at least 5 days before maximum. In addition, we present results of a photometric calibration program to measure the CSP optical (uBgVri)bandpasses with an accuracy of ~1%. Finally, we report the discovery of a second SN Ia, SN 2006ot, similar in its characteristics to the peculiar SN 2006bt.

description: We report the observation of optical bistability in Si-based photonic crystal cavities operating around 4.5 \mum. Time domain measurements indicate that the source of this optical bistability is thermal, with a time constant on the order of 5 \mus. Quality (Q) factor improvement is shown by the use of surface treatments (wet processes and annealing), resulting in an increase of Q-factor from 11,500 to 29,300 at 4.48 \mum. After annealing in a N2 environment, optical bistability is no longer seen in our cavities.

description: Machine learning (ML) models based on a large data set of in-cylinder flow fields of an IC engine obtained by high-speed particle image velocimetry allow the identification of relevant flow structures underlying cycle-to-cycle variations of engine performance. To this end, deep feature learning is employed to train ML models that predict cycles of high and low in-cylinder maximum pressure. Deep convolutional autoencoders are self-supervised-trained to encode flow field features in low dimensional latent space. Without the limitations ascribable to manual feature engineering, ML models based on these learned features are able to classify high energy cycles already from the flow field during late intake and the compression stroke as early as 290 crank angle degrees before top dead center (-290° CA) with a mean accuracy above chance level. The prediction accuracy from -290° CA to -10° CA is comparable to baseline ML approaches utilizing an extensive set of engineered features. Relevant flow structures in the compression stroke are revealed by feature analysis of ML models and are interpreted using conditional averaged flow quantities. This analysis unveils the importance of the horizontal velocity component of in-cylinder flows in predicting engine performance. Combining deep learning and conventional flow analysis techniques promises to be a powerful tool for ultimately revealing high-level flow features relevant to the prediction of cycle-to-cycle variations and further engine optimization.
X-Ray Observations of the Supernova Remnant W28 with Suzaku --- I. Spectral Study of the Recombining Plasma

description: We present the Suzaku results of the mixed-morphology supernova remnant W28. The X-ray spectra of the central region of W28 exhibit many bright emission lines from highly ionized atoms. An optically thin thermal plasma in collisional ionization equilibrium, either of single-temperature or multi-temperature failed to reproduce the data with line-like and bump-like residuals at the Si Lyman$α$ energy and at 2.4--5.0 keV, respectively. The bumps probably correspond to radiative recombination continua from He-like Si and S. A simple recombining plasma model nicely fit the bump structures, but failed to fit low energy bands. The overall spectra can be fit with a multi-ionization temperature plasma with a common electron temperature. The multi-ionization temperatures are interpreted as elemental difference of ionization and recombination timescales. These results prefer the rarefaction scenario for the origin of the recombining plasma.

description: Spin-selective tunneling of holes in SiGe nanocrystals contacted by normal-metal leads is reported. The spin selectivity arises from an interplay of the orbital effect of the magnetic field with the strong spin-orbit interaction present in the valence band of the semiconductor. We demonstrate both experimentally and theoretically that spin-selective tunneling in semiconductor nanostructures can be achieved without the use of ferromagnetic contacts. The reported effect, which relies on mixing the light and heavy holes, should be observable in a broad class of quantum-dot systems formed in semiconductors with a degenerate valence band.

description: We present a scheme for playing quantum repeated 2x2 games based on the Marinatto and Weber's approach to quantum games. As a potential application, we study twice repeated Prisoner's Dilemma game. We show that results not available in classical game can be obtained when the game is played in the quantum way. Before we present our idea, we comment on the previous scheme of playing quantum repeated games.

description: This review examines the effectiveness of digital media on emergent literacy skills, specifically alphabet knowledge, print awareness, and phonological awareness, on children birth to four. A systematic search of the literature identified 13 studies that met the pre-determined inclusion criteria. Two independent raters evaluated each study for methodological quality and assigned appropriate levels of evidence based on ASHA levels of evidence. Results found that specific features of digital media can lead to positive effects on emergent literacy skills. A checklist with the highlighted features was created to guide clinicians, parents, and others in making decisions about the true educational quality of various screen media.

QUASI-MAGNETOSTATIC FIELD MODELING OF SHIPS IN THE PRESENCE OF DYNAMIC SEA WAVES
Creators: name: Lonsbury, Cody
Publisher: name: University of Kentucky
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Electromagnetics and Photonics

description: Mechanical stresses placed on ferromagnetic materials while under the influence of a magnetic field are known to cause changes to the permanent magnetization of the material. Modeling this phenomenon is vital to the safety of ocean faring ships. In this thesis, a quasi-strip theory method of computing the nonlinear wave induced motion of a ship is developed, and the fluid pressure on the surface of the hull is used to determine the mechanical stresses. An existing magnetostatic volume integral equation code is used to evaluate the effects of the ship motion and hull stresses. The resulting changes in the magnetic field for various ship forms are presented to demonstrate the effects of given sea states.

description: This work revisits the physics giving rise to the carbon nanotubes phonon bands in the mid- infrared. Our measurements of doped and undoped samples of single-walled carbon nanotubes in Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy show that the phonon bands exhibit an asymmetric lineshape and that their effective cross-section is enhanced upon doping. We relate these observations to electron-phonon coupling or, more specifically, to a Fano resonance phenomenon. We note that only the dopant-induced intraband continuum couples to the phonon modes and that defects induced in the sidewall increase the resonance probabilities.

Furthermore, the spherical harmonic decomposition is given for a function $u\in C^{\infty}_{0}(\mathbb{R}_{k_+}^{n})$. Using this decomposition and following the idea of Tertikas and Zographopoulos, we obtain the Filippas-Tertikas improvement of the Hardy inequality.

description: Glaciers have a complex hydraulic and dynamic behavior that needs to be investigated to improve our understanding of changes in the cryosphere. To tackle this issue, we employ various passive seismic analysis methods on continuous measurements from a temporary seismic array deployed on Glacier de la Plaine Morte in Switzerland. First, we asses the reliability of ambient noise Horizontal-to-Vertical spectral ratio (HVSR) measurements to the glacier's dynamic environment. The spatiotemporal variations in HVSR curves are predominantly attributed to changing nearby noise conditions influenced by hydraulic, drainage-related tremors, moulin resonances and anthropogenic sources. A careful analysis of the local noise source variations related to glacier dynamic behaviour in order to distinguish between source and medium changes reflected in the HVSR measurements. Only a few hours of HVSR measurements may lead to biases in the interpretation of the HVSR curve. Despite the influence of these external factors, with long time series of the HVSR measurements, we successfully detect a spatiotemporal trend in HVSR curves. Notably, an HVSR trough emerges following the drainage of Lac des Faverges, an ice-marginal lake that rapidly drains, causing water to flow through a channelized system beneath the glacier. This HVSR trough is indicative of a low-seismic velocity layer at the ice-bed interface. Seismic velocity changes derived by interferometry support the presence of a low-velocity layer at the ice-bedrock interface. Inversion and forward modelling reveal a probable thickness of this low-velocity layer of 10–30 m and a change in S-wave velocity up to 40 %. This layer has a local extend covering an estimated 4.5 to 27 % of the glacier, as indicated by the spatial variations in HVSR trough throughout the array and an independent water volume estimate. The changing seismic velocities are thus a manifestation of temporal water storage at the glacier bed in response to sudden injection of lake water. Our results highlight the value of long time series of HVSR measurements which show variations in the peak/trough structure that reflect hydraulic changes beneath the ice surface.
