description:
The elastic interaction between an inclusion and its host is often employed to study the entrapment conditions during metamorphism on the assumption that the host is not affected by creep. However, it is not well understood how fast creep-induced relaxation may occur and under what conditions the elastic regime holds for each crystalline inclusion-host system. In this study, we performed heating experiments on eclogite and spessartine garnets under 1) graphite, 2) N2+H2 and 3) H2O+Ar fluxed conditions at different temperatures. Raman spectroscopy is used to measure the same quartz and zircon inclusions after different heating times. The Raman-band wavenumber undergoes a time-dependent decrease in quartz inclusions and increase in zircon inclusions under H2O+Ar and H2+N2 conditions, but stabilises after the first heating step under graphite-buffered conditions. EBSD results reveal greater misorientation around the heated inclusions compared to unheated inclusions. Raman mapping reveals that stress heterogeneity in the garnet host develops first and fades away afterward, indicating dispersal of dislocations into the host. A visco-elastic model fit to the measured Raman data provides estimates of flow-law parameters for garnet. These results demonstrate the efficiency of H migration and its weakening effect on garnet. The data also indicate that the garnet can be stronger than previously thought under a dry and reduced environment, which is consistent with the high activation energy of Si diffusion in dry garnet. This study provides a critical temperature and water limit for elastic thermobarometry and criteria of determining whether an inclusion has been reset or not.

description: We present a detailed analysis of high resolution observations of the three lowest CO transitions in two nearby active galaxies, NGC4569 and NGC4826. The CO(1-0) and (2-1) lines were observed with the Plateau de Bure Interferometer and the CO(3-2) line with the Submillimeter Array. Combining these data allows us to compare the emission in the three lines and to map the line ratios, R21=I_{CO(2-1)}/I_{CO(1-0)} and R32=I_{CO(3-2)}/I_{CO(1-0)} at a resolution of ~2", i.e., a linear resolution of 160 pc for NGC4569 and 40 pc for NGC4826. In both galaxies the emission in the three lines is similarly distributed spatially and in velocity, and CO is less excited (R32<0.6) than in the Galactic Center or the centers of other active galaxies studied so far. According to a pseudo-LTE model the molecular gas in NGC4569 is cold and mainly optically thick in the CO(1-0) and (2-1) lines; less than 50% of the gas is optically thin in the CO(3-2) line. LVG modeling suggests the presence of an elongated ring of cold and dense gas coinciding with the ILR of the stellar bar. More excited gas is resolved in the circumnuclear disk of NGC4826. According to our pseudo-LTE model this corresponds to warmer gas with a ~50% of the CO(3-2) emission being optically thin. LVG modeling indicates the presence of a semicircular arc of dense and cold gas centered on the dynamical center and ~70 pc in radius. The gas temperature increases and its density decreases toward the center. A near side/far side asymmetry noticeable in the CO, R32 and Pa-alpha maps suggests that opacity effects play a role. Examining published CO maps of nearby active galaxies we find similar asymmetries suggesting that this could be a common phenomenon in active galaxies. These mainly qualitative results open new perspectives for the study of active galaxies with the future Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array.

description:
The project “Groundwater Quality Monitoring Network Improvement 2021/2022” aimed to assess and improve the groundwater quality monitoring network of the Environmental Agency of the State of Brandenburg, Germany. This comprised six major steps:

Developing a catalogue of criteria for verifying the suitability of monitoring wells for representative groundwater sampling and for fulfilling specific reporting duties of the Environmental Agency (considering best practices)

Assessing the currently active monitoring wells regarding the suitability criteria

Reviewing the monitoring network in each groundwater catchment area regarding its capability to fulfil the different reporting duties

Identifying deficits in the network and researching further existing suitable monitoring wells in focus areas, e.g. from the Environmental Agency’s water level monitoring network or from district authorities’ networks

Testing the researched monitoring wells on site

Suggesting locations for constructing new monitoring wells where no suitable wells exist

A total of 936 active monitoring wells have been assessed. These results have been aggregated for 63 groundwater catchment areas as basis for the deficit analysis. 10 focus areas have been identified for researching and testing existing monitoring wells and for suggesting new sites.

One major project outcome is a three-page factsheet for each catchment area including detailed information on land use, hydrogeology and available monitoring wells as well as statistical analyses of the monitoring well distributions and their suitability. It also contains a prioritised list of measures (adding existing wells to the network, high and low priority new locations) to implement in the next years.

description: The vast majority of Type II supernovae (SNe) are produced by red supergiants (RSGs), but SN 1987A revealed that blue supergiants (BSGs) can produce members of this class as well, albeit with some peculiar properties. This best studied event revolutionized our understanding of SNe, and linking it to the bulk of Type II events is essential. We present here optical photometry and spectroscopy gathered for SN 2000cb, which is clearly not a standard Type II SN and yet is not a SN 1987A analog. The light curve of SN 2000cb is reminiscent of that of SN 1987A in shape, with a slow rise to a late optical peak, but on substantially different time scales. Spectroscopically, SN 2000cb resembles a normal SN II but with ejecta velocities that far exceed those measured for SN 1987A or normal SNe II, above 18000 km/s for H-alpha at early times. The red colours, high velocities, late photometric peak, and our modeling of this object all point toward a scenario involving the high-energy explosion of a small-radius star, most likely a BSG, producing 0.1 solar masses of Ni-56. Adding a similar object to the sample, SN 2005ci, we derive a rate of about 2% of the core-collapse rate for this loosely defined class of BSG explosions.

Using radiogenic isotopes to fingerprint the source of geochemical enrichment in the Hawaiian mantle plume from the Koʻolau basalts on Oʻahu
Creators: name: Armstrong, Catherine
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: Among the Hawaiian Islands, the youngest shield-stage tholeiitic basalts from Koʻolau volcano on Oʻahu preserve the earliest evidence of an extremely enriched geochemical signature from the underlying Hawaiian mantle plume. Basalts with high concentrations of incompatible trace elements, with strongly radiogenic ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr-²⁰⁸Pb*/²⁰⁶Pb* and unradiogenic εHf-εNd, establish this signature as the most enriched endmember of the LOA part of the bimodal ‘Loa–Kea’ geographic-compositional range observed along the Hawaiian Islands. These basalts have a mantle source that is isotopically distinct (with higher radiogenic Pb or ²⁰⁸Pb*/²⁰⁶Pb*) from the more voluminous components in the heterogeneous Hawaiian mantle plume. At the Koʻolau Range, the enriched signature of the ‘Makapuʻu’ component is only present in basalts from the late, ‘Makapuʻu’ stage of shield building activity after a transition from a more common, average Mauna Loa-like, or LOA composition. The geochemistry of Makapuʻu-stage basalts, with new samples from three locations on Koʻolau including their type locality at Makapuʻu Head, is used to constrain the mean isotopic composition of the Makapuʻu component. High-precision Sr-Nd-Hf-Pb isotopic geochemistry confirms the existence of a small amount of anomalously enriched material, increasing the observed range of ²⁰⁸Pb*/²⁰⁶Pb* on Koʻolau, and reveals heterogeneity within the Makapuʻu component. As the enriched endmember for the entire Hawaiian basalt compositional array, the refined composition of the Makapuʻu component is important for models of the geodynamics of discrete components and their mixtures in the heterogeneous Hawaiian mantle plume.

description: The purpose of this study is to investigate observational features of Brans-Dicke wormholes in a case if they exist in our Universe. The energy flux from accretion onto a Brans-Dicke wormhole and the so-called "maximum impact parameter" are studied (the last one might allow to observe light sources through a wormhole throat). The computed values were compared with the corresponding ones for GR-wormholes and Schwarzschild black holes. We shown that Brans-Dicke wormholes are quasi-Schwarzschild objects and should differ from GR wormholes by about one order of magnitude in the accretion energy flux.

Subsurface storage in small coastal BC watersheds and uncertainty in salt dilution gauging
Creators: name: Hayn, Manuela
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Many small municipalities are reliant on surface water supply for their municipal water needs. Studies of water resources are seen as cost prohibitive and rarely implemented, even under development pressures and climate insecurities. Natural tracers can provide an economic alternative to extensive monitoring networks. This study used electrical conductivity (EC) and stable isotopes of water to characterize the subsurface water storage with regards to streamflow contribution, transit times and dominant flow processes in two small, mountainous watersheds of coastal southwestern BC. Long-term EC and periodic discharge measurements were used to establish an EC-discharge relationship. Transit times were evaluated by comparing the diel cycles in EC and temperature during snowmelt, and responses of EC to fall rain events. The relative contribution of snowmelt, shallow subsurface water and deeper subsurface water was calculated by hydrograph separation using EC and stable isotopes as tracers. Discharge measurements were made using the salt dilution gauging method and the second part of this study identified the appropriate measurement model, significant uncertainty sources, and how to combine these to a discharge uncertainty using standardized methods. Snowmelt was identified as a significant contributor to streamflow during the spring and summer months. The summer was characterized by more higher elevation groundwater storage, fed by snowmelt, than lower elevation or deeper groundwater storage. Using both tracers, the Harvey Creek stream consisted of 12% of reacted pre-event water attributed to deeper subsurface flows, 32% of unreacted pre-event water representative of high elevation headwater streams, and 55% of snowmelt. Discharge and EC were related by a power law relationship that appears distinct between spring to summer and fall to winter. Transit times differed with season and were 5 to 24 hours, although unquantified processes likely influenced this. The economic tracer usage had other limitations, most notably the requirement for sufficient spatial and temporal coverage for a good understanding of hydrological processes. The uncertainty evaluation noted a preferred discharge and calibration model and found that calibration prediction represented the largest uncertainty source for a well performed test. The major effects influencing discharge measurements were coarse integration resolution and non-linearly varying background EC.

Single file diffusion of macroscopic charged particles

description: In this paper, we study a macroscopic system of electrically interacting metallic beads organized as a sequence along an annulus. A random mechanical shaking mimics the thermal excitation. We exhibit non Fickian diffusion (Single File Diffusion) at large time. We measure the mobility of the particles, and compare it to theoretical expectations. We show that our system cannot be accurately described by theories assuming only hard sphere interactions. Its behavior is qualitatively described by a theory extended to more realistic potentials [Kollmann, PRL {\bf 90} 180602, (2003)]. A correct quantitative agreement is shown, and we interpret the discrepancies by the violation of a key assumption of the theory, that of overdamped dynamics. We recast previous results on colloids with known interaction potentials, and compare them quantitatively to the theory. Focusing on the transition between ordinary and single file diffusion, we exhibit a dimensionless crossover time that is of order one both for colloids and our system, although the time and length scales differ by several orders of magnitude.

An interpretative analysis of the European ne bis in idem principle through the lens of ECHR, CFR and CISA Provisions: Are three streams flowing in the same channel?
Creators: name: COFFEY, GERARD
Publisher: name: University of Limerick
Year: 2023
Subjects: Law and legal studies

description: The ne bis in idem principle (procedural defence) proscribes multiple criminal proceedings and punishments for the same criminal offence/conduct, which is predicated on a final verdict of acquittal or conviction by a court of competent jurisdiction. Incorporated as a fundamental human right through Article 4 of Protocol No. 7 annexed to the ECHR and fundamental right safeguarded through Article 50 CFR, the principle is conjoined with the right to free movement of persons through Article 54 CISA. An evaluation of the characteristics, substance, rationale, scope, and limitations associated with the autonomous procedural defence reveals corresponding purposes. CJEU and ECtHR jurisprudence have delineated the scope and limitations of the procedural defence and the two European courts have reciprocally influenced their respective case law. Definitive and practical judicial guidelines on the application of the principle facilitate consistency of approach by diverse national legal systems consistent with the principle of legality. The article provides an interpretative analysis of the procedural defence and associated jurisprudence of the two European courts that aim to ensure consistency of approach by national legal systems notwithstanding the applicability of the margin of appreciation and the principle of subsidiarity. The article concludeswith an evaluation of the narrow same criminal offence criterion (idem crimen) commensurate with broader proscribed conduct (idem factum) criterion that is pivotal to the application of the procedural defence and evidently the most litigated aspect of the ne bis in idem principle. The main issue causing tensions between the different streams of case law seems to be the question of the combination of distinct types of proceedings (administrative and criminal), and there is a reciprocal influence of the ECHR and CJEU on this issue.

description: This paper presents a comprehensive formal engineering approach for the development of gaze guiding as an adaptive computer-based job aid to support semi-automated technical control tasks. Major requirement for this engineering method was to present a model-based approach, which on the one hand offers a coherent integration of various heterogeneous descriptions of the system, the standard operating procedures to be applied, and the used gaze guiding, and an algorithmic transformation into an executable form on the other. The latter is used as part of a runtime system or execution framework that integrates gaze guiding into an existing graphical user interface as an overlay. To demonstrate the suitability of the resulting model that enables gaze guiding, we present a use case for the modeling approach and we conducted a user study with 140 participants who worked on three different types of SOPs. The study showed the positive impact of the gaze guiding and its potential to suite as an adaptive computer-based job aid. The results confirmed findings from previous studies and showed decreased numbers of errors during the execution of the start-up procedure if gaze guiding was used.

description:
With its long mining history, Germany is a country with an important tradition in the field of mining science. The "Working Group on Geoscientific Aspects in Mining Areas" has been dealing with the remnants of mining and the resulting subsequent uses since it was founded in 1995. The task of the working group is to bring together geoscientists and other experts from the mining industry, from mining and geology-related administrative departments and research institutions for an interdisciplinary exchange of ideas and experience.

The first meeting of the Working Group on Mining Consequences took place in Upper Lusatia on the landscapes resulting from lignite mining. The thematic range of further events expanded to include ore, salt, uranium, hard coal and earths and stone mining, oil and natural gas extraction, and the search for a final repository for radioactive waste.

The meetings of the working group combine theory and application in a very practical and illustrative way. Thematically diverse technical presentations and a full-day excursion to geological outcrops, historical or operating mining facilities and post-montane landscapes are the basis for intensive exchange among the participants.

In 2023, the Working Group on Mining Consequences looks back on 51 successful meetings in different mining regions of Germany, attended by about 5,000 professional colleagues from the geo- and mining sector, nature and geotope conservation, geoparks and many other disciplines. A conference volume with excursion guide is published for each meeting in the EDGG series.

description:
The active volcanic arcs of the Scotia- and Caribbean Plate are two prominent features along the otherwise passive margins of the Atlantic Ocean, where subduction of oceanic crust is verifiable. Both arcs have been important oceanic gateways during their formation. Trapped between the large continental plates of North- and South America, as well as Antarctica, the significantly smaller oceanic plates show striking similarities in size, shape, plate margins and morphology, although formed at different times and locations during Earth’s history.

Structural analyses of the seafloor are based on bathymetric datasets by multibeam-echosounders, including data of GMRT, AWI, BAS, MARUM/Uni-Bremen, Geomar/Uni-Kiel and Uni-Hamburg. Bathymetric data were processed to create maps of ocean floor morphology with resolution of 150-250 meters in accuracy. The Benthic Terrain Modeler 3.0, amongst other GIS based tools, was utilized to analyse the geomorphometry of both plates. Furthermore, we used bathymetric datasets for three-dimensional modelling of the seafloor to examine large-scale-structures in more detail. The modelling of ship-based bathymetric datasets, in combination with the GEBCO 2014 global 30 arc-second grid, included in the GMRT bathymetric database, delivered detailed bathymetric maps of both areas.

With the help of the fine- and broad-scale bathymetric position index, we present the first detailed interpretation of combined bathymetric datasets of the entire Caribbean, the Scotia Sea and adjacent areas, such as the South Sandwich Plate. We identified typical morphological features of the abyss, based on determination of steep and broad slopes, ridges, boulders, flat plains, flat ridge tops and depressions in various scales.

description: We present the discovery of five late-type T dwarfs identified with the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE). Low-resolution near-infrared spectroscopy obtained with the Magellan Folded-port InfraRed Echellette (FIRE) reveal strong water and methane absorption in all five sources, and spectral indices and comparison to spectral templates indicate classifications ranging from T5.5 to T8.5:. The spectrum of the latest-type source, WISE J1812+2721, is an excellent match to that of the T8.5 companion brown dwarf Wolf 940B. WISE-based spectrophotometric distance estimates place these T dwarfs at 12-13 pc from the Sun, assuming they are single. Preliminary fits of the spectral data to the atmosphere models of Saumon & Marley indicate effective temperatures ranging from 600 K to 930 K, both cloudy and cloud-free atmospheres, and a broad range of ages and masses. In particular, two sources show evidence of both low surface gravity and cloudy atmospheres, tentatively supporting a trend noted in other young brown dwarfs and exoplanets. In contrast, the high proper motion T dwarf WISE J2018-7423 exhibits a suppressed K-band peak and blue spectrophotometric J-K colors indicative of an old, massive brown dwarf; however, it lacks the broadened Y-band peak seen in metal-poor counterparts. These results illustrate the broad diversity of low-temperature brown dwarfs that will be uncovered with WISE.

The topics reviewed include reconciliation of large volume cosmology and phenomenology, evaluation of soft supersymmetry breaking parameters, one-loop RG-flow equations' solutions for scalar masses, obtaining fermionic (possibly first two generations' quarks/leptons) mass scales in the O(MeV-GeV)-regime as well as (first two generations') neutrino masses (and their one-loop RG flow) of around an eV. The heavy sparticles and the light fermions indicate the possibility of "split SUSY" large volume scenario.

description: During the evolution of rotating first stars, which initially consisted of only hydrogen and helium, CNO elements may emerge to their surface. These stars may therefore have winds that are driven only by CNO elements. We study weak wind effects (Gayley-Owocki heating and multicomponent effects) in stellar winds of first generation stars driven purely by CNO elements. We apply our NLTE multicomponent models and hydrodynamical simulations. The multicomponent effects (frictional heating and decoupling) are important particularly for low metallicity winds, but they influence mass loss rate only if they cause decoupling for velocities lower than the escape velocity. The multicomponent effects also modify the feedback from first stars. As a result of the decoupling of radiatively accelerated metals from hydrogen and helium, the first low-energy cosmic ray particles are generated. We study the interaction of these particles with the interstellar medium concluding that these particles easily penetrate the interstellar medium of a given minihalo. We discuss the charging of the first stars by means of their winds. Gayley-Owocki heating, frictional heating, and the decoupling of wind components occur in the winds of evolved low-metallicity stars and the solar metallicity main-sequence stars.

description: We present high angular and spectral resolution HI 21~cm line observations toward the cometary-shaped compact HII region G213.880-11.837 in the GGD~14 complex.The kinematics and morphology of the photodissociated region, traced by the HI line emission, reveal that the neutral gas is part of an expanding flow. The kinematics of the HI gas along the major axis of G213.880-11.837 shows that the emission is very extended toward the SE direction, reaching LSR radial velocities in the tail of about 14 km/s. The ambient LSR radial velocity of the molecular gas is 11.5 km/s, which suggests a champagne flow of the HI gas. This is the second (after G111.61+0.37) cometary HII/HI region known.

description: The operator-sum decomposition (OS) of a mapping from one density matrix to another has many applications in quantum information science. To this mapping there corresponds an affine map which provides a geometric description of the density matrix in terms of the polarization vector representation. This has been thoroughly explored for qubits since the components of the polarization vector are measurable quantities (corresponding to expectation values of Hermitian operators) and also because it enables the description of map domains geometrically. Here we extend the OS-affine map correspondence to qudits, briefly discuss general properties of the map, the form for particular important cases, and provide several explicit results for qutrit maps. We use the affine map and a singular-value-like decomposition, to find positivity constraints that provide a symmetry for small polarization vector magnitudes (states which are closer to the maximally mixed state) which is broken as the polarization vector increases in magnitude (a state becomes more pure). The dependence of this symmetry on the magnitude of the polarization vector implies the polar decomposition of the map can not be used as it can for the qubit case. However, it still leads us to a connection between positivity and purity for general d-state systems.

title: Clay minerals in the critical zone and links to climate change
Creators: name: Warr, Laurence Noel
Publisher: name: Deutsche Geologische Gesellschaft - Geologische Vereinigung e.V. (DGGV)
Year: 2023

description:
This contribution uses a recently published global clay mineral inventory of the critical zone to assess how well clay mineral assemblages reflect climate. The relative abundance of the main clay mineral groups (the 1:1, 2:1 and 2:1:1 hydrous phyllosilicates are used to evaluate a Clay Mineral Alteration Index (CMAI), which is compared with current latitudes and the Köppen-Geiger climatic zones. This CMAI relationship is defined as:

CMAI = (2:1LE + 2:1:1LE) – (1:1LE + 2:1HE)

(physically weathered – newly formed)

where, LE = Low to no expandability, HE = high expandability and CMAI values range between -100 (warm tropical) and +100 (cold polar).

For selected soil types, such as the alfisols, some general correlations exist between CMAI values and distance from the equator. However, the database indicates that lithological controls on clay mineral assemblages introduce a large degree of heterogeneity to the system. This makes a direct interpretation based on numerical indices difficult to implement. Improved correlations can be achieved by selecting consistent soil types developed on the same host lithologies (e.g. soils on Silurian shales). Following this procedure, very good correlations can be attained as long as the climatic parameters of temperatures and rainfall are both considered. A refined correlation between the CMAI and current climatic conditions is put to the test on palaeosols and shales from the geological record.

description:
The Saualpe-Koralpe high pressure (HP) complex as well as the HP units of the Pohorje mountains formed during the Cretaceous orogenic cycle in the Eastern Alps. Within these units eclogite bodies can be found, which were probably emplaced along the rift zone that led to the opening of the Meliata ocean. After closure of the ocean ongoing convergence led to underplating within the lower plate, which led to the formation of the Austroalpine nappe stack. During subduction, the Saualpe, Koralpe and Pohorje units reached peak pressure conditions of 2.2-2.4 GPa/630-690°C, 1.8-1.9 GPa/670°C and 3.0–3.7 GPa/710–940 °C, respectively. PT-analyses, microstructural investigations and dating predict different contrasting models for the subsequent exhumation of these units.

Here, we investigate the deformational history of these units during their exhumation. We sampled sets of pristine eclogites, retrograde amphibolite facies shear zones as well as neighboring gneisses surrounding the eclogite lenses. The samples were analyzed by electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) to determine their crystallographic preferred orientation (CPO) and deformation mechanisms. Both omphacite in pristine eclogites and hornblende in the amphibolite facies shear zones show a pronounced CPO. Hornblende yields distinct signs of dynamic recrystallization by subgrain rotation within the shear zones. Quartz CPO was analyzed in both the eclogites and the surrounding gneiss matrix. Results indicate a shear sense reversal during the exhumation of the Pohorje eclogites.

In this study we show CPO data that recorded the deformational path of these rocks from eclogite facies conditions up to the exhumation to crustal levels.
title: Earth system science in schools: Teaching geoscientific content with the help of instructional videos
Creators: name: Meschede, Martin
Publisher: name: Deutsche Geologische Gesellschaft - Geologische Vereinigung e.V. (DGGV)

description:
There is an urgent need to include Earth systems sciences (ESS) in the school curricula in order to enable the next generation to understand that the Earth is a dynamic system and its global problems such as climate change or the sustainable use of georesources as discussed by the 2022 report of the Leopoldina, the German National Academy of Sciences.            

Right now, geosciences are not explicit part of the German school curriculum. Basic knowledge of the earth sciences is currently only taught in geography classes and occasionally in physics, chemistry and biology classes. But geography and all science teachers do not receive qualified training in Earth system sciences as part of their studies. While they rely on textbooks for their teaching, geoscientific texts and illustrations in many textbooks currently used in schools contain errors, especially concerning the dynamic of the solid Earth.

The German Geological Society (DGGV) currently develops a series of about 10 minutes long educational videos with text and figures on the Earth system on its website, in which basic geoscientific knowledge is conveyed. The videos are aimed specifically at teachers in schools, but also at students and interested laypeople. First tests in school education settings by individual teachers have revealed that they are a useful and welcome aid for teachers in their classrooms.

description: The degeneracy among the disk, bulge and halo contributions to galaxy rotation curves prevents an understanding of the distribution of baryons and dark matter in disk galaxies. In an attempt to break this degeneracy, we present an analysis of the spiral galaxy strong gravitational lens SDSS J2141-0001, discovered as part of the SLACS survey. We present new Hubble Space Telescope multicolor imaging, gas and stellar kinematics data derived from long-slit spectroscopy, and K-band LGS adaptive optics imaging, both from the Keck telescopes. We model the galaxy as a sum of concentric axisymmetric bulge, disk and halo components and infer the contribution of each component, using information from gravitational lensing and gas kinematics. This analysis yields a best-fitting total (disk plus bulge) stellar mass of log_{10}(Mstar/Msun) = 10.99(+0.11,-0.25). The photometric data combined with stellar population synthesis models yield log_{10}(Mstar/Msun) = 10.97\pm0.07, and 11.21\pm0.07 for the Chabrier and Salpeter IMFs, respectively. Accounting for the expected gas fraction of \simeq 20% reduces the lensing plus kinematics stellar mass by 0.10\pm0.05 dex, resulting in a Bayes factor of 11.9 in favor of a Chabrier IMF. The dark matter halo is roughly spherical, with minor to major axis ratio q_{halo}=0.91(+0.15,-0.13). The dark matter halo has a maximum circular velocity of V_{max}=276(+17,-18) km/s, and a central density parameter of log_{10}Δ_{V/2}=5.9(+0.9,-0.5). This is higher than predicted for uncontracted dark matter haloes in LCDM cosmologies, log_{10}Δ_{V/2}=5.2, suggesting that either the halo has contracted in response to galaxy formation, or that the halo has a higher than average concentration. At 2.2 disk scale lengths the dark matter fraction is f_{DM}=0.55(+0.20,-0.15), suggesting that SDSS J2141-0001 is sub-maximal.

Echando pa’lante: RicanStructing Puerto Rican undergraduate persistence
Creators: name: Rodríguez, Merylou
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: The experiences of Puerto Rican undergraduates are rendered virtually invisible within higher education’s monolithic discourse of Latinx/as/os/e students. As US citizens since 1898, coloniality and el vaivén between the island and Stateside US continue to shape the educational experiences of Puerto Ricans. Educational institutions have served as tools of colonization, seeking to suppress Puerto Ricans’ cultural and national identity. Deculturation practices and Americanization strategies are experienced both on the island and replicated in Puerto Ricans’ education in the US. Given that Puerto Rican education research is largely situated within the K-12 literature, this study focused on Puerto Rican students in US higher education. The study captured the narratives of 17 self-identified Puerto Rican collaborators at Rutgers University-New Brunswick (RUNB) and explored how they persisted toward their undergraduate degrees. This study included the following three findings: (1) Puerto Rican families’ propulsive role in educational attainment, (2) being on the same campus but “worlds apart,” and (3) a Puerto Rican state of mind. This research contributes to higher education literature on Puerto Rican undergraduates methodologically, conceptually, and theoretically. First, this study used Charlas methodology, which expands culturally grounded methodological approaches. Next, this study found collaborators persisted by echando pa’lante, a concept encompassing behaviors, knowledge, and attitudes toward degree attainment. Theoretically, this study proposed tenets to the latest iteration of RicanStruction Framework in higher education. Finally, this Boricuacentric research theorized Puerto Rican undergraduates’ lived and storied experiences as legitimate data.
