description: Closed-form expressions for the ringdown complex amplitudes of nonspinning unequal-mass binaries in arbitrarily eccentric orbits are presented. They are built upon 237 numerical simulations contained within the RIT catalog, through the parameterisation introduced in [Phys. Rev. Lett. 132, 101401]. Global fits for the complex amplitudes, associated to linear quasinormal mode frequencies of the dominant ringdown modes, are obtained in a factorised form immediately applicable to any existing quasi-circular model. Similarly to merger amplitudes, ringdown ones increase by more than 50% compared to the circular case for high impact parameters (medium eccentricities), while strongly suppressed in the low impact parameter (highly eccentric) limit. Such reduction can be explained by a transition between an "orbital-type" and an "infall-type" dynamics. The amplitudes (phases) fits accuracy lies around a few percent (deciradians) for the majority of the dataset, comparable to the accuracy of current state-of-the-art quasi-circular ringdown models, and well within current statistical errors of current LIGO-Virgo-Kagra ringdown observations. These expressions constitute another building block towards the construction of complete general-relativistic inspiral-merger-ringdown semi-analytical templates, and allow to extend numerically-informed spectroscopic analyses beyond the circular limit. Such generalisations are key to achieve accurate inference of compact binaries astrophysical properties, and tame astrophysical systematics within observational investigations of strong-field general relativistic dynamics.

description: The existence of anharmonic localization of lattice vibrations in a perfect 3-D diatomic ionic crystal is established for the rigid-ion model by molecular dynamics simulations. For a realistic set of NaI potential parameters, an intrinsic localized gap mode vibrating in the [111] direction is observed for fcc and zinc blende lattices. An axial elastic distortion is an integral feature of this mode which forms more readily for the zinc blende than for the fcc structure. Molecular dynamics simulations verify that in each structure this localized mode may be stable for at least 200 cycles.

description: Earthquake impacts are widely studied across numerous disciplines. However, no systematic approach to quantify the "size" of an earthquake for impact research exists. This work provides the first comprehensive discussion and empirical study on how to measure the natural hazard of an earthquake for application in the social sciences. A data set consisting of all relevant global ground shaking from 1973 to 2015 combined with population exposure data and impact data is constructed based on 14,608 ShakeMaps. The empirical work shows that magnitude is not a good proxy for shaking and that measures of total earthquake size based on ground motion parameters perform better in explaining impacts than magnitude. In particular peak ground acceleration (PGA) performs well and is applied for two separate impact analyses. First, the relationship between earthquake ground shaking and public health related variables in California is investigated. Second, the global impact of earthquake ground shaking on long-run economic growth is studied. Furthermore, this work introduces the concept of a shaking center as well as a shaking centroid and provides the first global statistics on the area exposed to strong ground shaking for a given earthquake.

description: The social and economic values of parks and open spaces have been well studied especially to justify their economic value in relation to other competing types of land use. Although the benefits of such green spaces (including greenways) are well understood, less can be found in current literature that address the practical issues in the planning and implementation of greenways. The factors and forces that affect the translation of greenways from plan to reality was the key research question of the thesis. In particular, the research focused mainly on land use factors that affected the planning and implementation of greenways, such as land ownership and regulation. The thesis also examined the inter-related complexities of other factors such as politics, planning tools, regulations and context.

description: Electrocatalysis contributes to a huge extent in a large array of research fields and applications, including corrosion science, electroanalytical sensors, wastewater treatment, electro-organic synthesis and more importantly, energy conversion applications. Of the many electrocatalytic processes, the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and triiodide reduction reaction (IRR) are of widespread importance in electrochemical cells and dye-sensitised solar cells (DSSCs). OER is a key half reaction in electrochemical water splitting, direct solar-to-electricity driven water splitting and metal-air batteries. The high cost of efficient benchmark electrocatalysts, such as RuO2 or IrO2, however, is a major drawback of OERs. While, IRR plays a significant role in DSSCs, which must be electrocatalysed at the counter electrode to complete the external circuit in real devices and thereby successfully convert solar energy to electricity. Traditionally, Pt is accepted as an ideal benchmark electrocatalyst for IRR, but its high cost and scarcity limits broad application of DSSCs. Thus, extensive effort has been made to find active alternative electrocatalysts with low-cost, high electrocatalytic activity and excellent stability for OER and IRR to the noble metals (Ru, Ir and Pt). Therefore, a rational design of earth-abundant and low-cost electrocatalysts for OER and IRR maintains a paramount significance for energy conversion applications to meet the constantly growing demand for energy supply.

description:
Background: Eclampsia, haemorrhage, and other direct causes are the primary burden of maternal mortality in Bangladesh, often reducing attention given to indirect maternal deaths (IMDs). However, Sustainable Development Goals may not be achieved without actions to prevent IMDs. We examined the levels, trends, specific causes, timing, place, and care-seeking, and explored the barriers to IMD prevention. Methods: We used three nationally representative surveys conducted in 2001, 2010, and 2016 to examine levels and trends in IMDs. The analysis of specific causes, timing, and place of IMDs, and care-seeking before the deaths was based on 37 IMDs captured in the 2016 survey. Finally, we used thematic content analysis of the open history from the 2016 survey verbal autopsy (VA) questionnaire to explore barriers to IMD prevention. Results: After increasing from 51 deaths per 100 000 live births in 2001 to 71 in 2010, the indirect maternal mortality ratio (IMMR) dropped to 38 deaths per 100 000 live births in 2016. In 2016, the indirect causes shared one-fifth of the maternal deaths in Bangladesh. Stroke, cancer, heart disease, and asthma accounted for 80% of the IMDs. IMDs were concentrated in the first trimester of pregnancy (27%) and day 8-42 after delivery (32%). Public health facilities were the main places for care-seeking (48%) and death (49%). Thirty-four (92%) women who died from IMDs sought care from a health facility at least once during their terminal illness. However, most women experienced at least one of the "three delays" of health care. Other barriers were financial insolvency, care-seeking from unqualified providers, lack of health counselling, and the tendency of health facilities to avoid responsibilities. Conclusions: IMMR remained unchanged at a high level during the last two decades. The high concentration of IMDs in pregnancy and the large share due to chronic health conditions indicate the need for preconception health check-ups. Awareness of maternal complications, proper care-seeking, and healthy reproductive practices may benefit. Improving regular and emergency maternal service readiness is essential.

description: How does a view from the ground reshape the analytics of US drone warfare? Through an ethnographic exploration of drone warfare from one of its sites of destruction—Pakistan and its borderlands known as the Tribal Areas—this dissertation troubles the notion of war-at-a-distance. Far from being at a remove, the war for many Pakistanis is in their neighborhoods, their fields, and their homes. Especially for ethnic Pashtuns who live amidst the drone war in the borderlands, attack drones are one element among a violent network—from Pakistani military helicopters to ground operations to armed guerrilla movements—that create radical disruptions. It is this dialectic between U.S. attacks and Pakistani state machinations that both produces ‘drone warfare’ and informs the analytics of Pashtuns and Pakistanis more generally vis-à-vis drone bombardment. By interrogating the relationship between drone attacks and the pluriverse of differentially distributed violence in the border zone, this dissertation traces the multi-scalar entanglements of the US imperial formation and the Pakistani state through which drone warfare and the ‘war on terror’ take shape in the Tribal Areas. Through an ethnographically situated account of the material, embodied geographies and conditions of the war zone, I show how these entanglements shape the geopolitics of the Pakistani state and position ethnic Pashtuns as multiply inflected: tribal-ized marginals, ethnic-ized citizens, and racialized transnational-ized targets of the ‘war on terror.’ In so doing, Grounding Drone Warfare shows that the remoteness of drone warfare is less an empirical reality than an authorizing self-narration of an imperial formation that prefers to frame itself as temporary and limited.

Sediment yield from waste dumps and the potential ability of dump slide material to filter suspended sediment
Creators: name: Bittman, Kim
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This paper presents a case history of the Mesa 1660 m dump failure (slide) at Quintette Coal Limited. The potential ability of dump slide material to filter suspended sediment from influent water is discussed and questions are raised regarding the amount of sediment generated by waste dumps. This paper presents data and theoretical arguments supporting the following claims: 1. That dump slide material filters suspended sediment - supported by: - Experience at an east Kootenay mine showing a dramatic decrease in sediment loads subsequent to a failure. - Experience at Quintette Coal Limited indicating that solids concentrations below the Mesa dump slide are less than upstream concentrations in 49% of samples taken and of the same concentration in 30%. Slight increases downstream are seen in 21% of the data set. - Dye observations indicating that an approximate retention time in the slide mass is 69 hours. 2. That waste dumps are not likely to produce high sediment loads - supported by: - During the dumping process, fines remain in the upper 10% of a waste dump and in this zone, based on specific tests in the Mesa north area, comprise clay particles (0.002 mm) at 2% and fine sand or silt (0.075 mm) at 9% of the samples taken. - Natural segregation of waste dumps will preclude downward migration of fines from the upper portion to lower regions of a waste dump. - An extensive history of waste dump drainage at QCL, including a five year sampling record indicating that negligible suspended sediment loads are generated.

description: One of the fundamental assumptions of the standard $Λ$CDM cosmology is that, on large scales, all the matter-energy components of the Universe share a common rest frame. This seems natural for the visible sector, that has been in thermal contact and tightly coupled in the primeval Universe. The dark sector, on the other hand, does not have any non-gravitational interaction known to date and therefore, there is no a priori reason to impose that it is comoving with ordinary matter. In this work we explore the consequences of relaxing this assumption and study the cosmology of non-comoving fluids. We show that it is possible to construct a homogeneous and isotropic cosmology with a collection of fluids moving with non-relativistic velocities. Our model extends $Λ$CDM with the addition of a single free parameter $β_0$, the initial velocity of the visible sector with respect to the frame that observes a homogeneous and isotropic universe. This modification gives rise to a rich phenomenology, while being consistent with current observations for $β_0<1.6\times 10^{-3} \text{(95% CL)}$. This work establishes the general framework to describe a non-comoving cosmology and extracts its first observational consequences for large-scale structure. Among the observable effects, we find sizeable modifications in the density-velocity and density-lensing potential cross-correlation spectra. These corrections give rise to deviations from statistical isotropy with a dipolar structure. The relative motion between the different fluids also couples the vector and scalar modes, the latter acting as sources for metric vector modes and vorticity for all the species.

description: This article focuses on the significance of the biographical in the context of the travelling exhibition »ToleranzRäume« (›Spaces of Tolerance‹). Using ethnographic field research, it explores how visitors resonate with selected biographies in the context of the exhibition – a spectrum that ranges from gaining knowledge, resistance and critical reflection to political articulation and their own biographical resonances. A particularly impressive empirical example of biographical resonances on the part of exhibition visitors is the poem »Sachsenhausen – once and now!« by Arthur B. – a deeply moving testimony of survival and remembrance of the Nazi crimes, which a visitor brings into the exhibition. The visitor’s biographical narrative illustrates, how the exhibition goes beyond the mere representation of individual biographies and opens up a social resonance space in which the relation between one’s own biography and the context of belonging in the exhibition is explored. Through the representation of biographies, the exhibition »ToleranzRäume« (›Spaces of Tolerance‹) creates a social resonance space in which personal experience and exhibition content are entangled. This emphasizes the importance of the exhibition’s biographical approach and illustrates the transformative power of biographical resonances in the course of the exhibition.
description: Im Zentrum des Beitrags steht die Bedeutung des Biografischen im Rahmen der Wanderausstellung »ToleranzRäume«. Im Rahmen ethnografischer Feldforschung wird expliziert, wie Besucher*innen mit ausgewählten Biografien im Rahmen der Ausstellung resonieren – ein Spektrum, das von Erkenntnisgewinn, Widerstand und kritischer Reflexion bis hin zu politischer Artikulation und eigenen biografischen Resonanzen reicht. Ein besonders eindrucksvolles empirisches Beispiel für biografische Resonanzen seitens der Ausstellungsbesucher\*innen ist das Gedicht »Sachsenhausen – einst und jetzt!« von Arthur B. – ein tief berührendes Zeugnis des Überlebens und der Erinnerung an die nationalsozialistischen Verbrechen, das eine Besucherin in die Ausstellung einbringt. Die biografische Erzählung der Besucherin illustriert eindrucksvoll, wie die Ausstellung über die bloße Repräsentation einzelner Biografien hinaus einen sozialen Resonanzraum eröffnet, in dem das Verhältnis der eigenen Biografie zum Zugehörigkeitskontext der Ausstellung ausgelotet wird. Die Ausstellung »ToleranzRäume« ermöglicht über die Repräsentation von Biografien einen Resonanzraum, in dem persönliche Erfahrungen und Ausstellungsinhalte miteinander verwoben werden. Dies unterstreicht die Bedeutung des biografischen Ansatzes der Ausstellung und verdeutlicht die transformative Kraft biografischer Resonanzen im Zuge der Ausstellung.

description: We derive a general quantum master equation for the dynamics of a scalar bosonic particle interacting with a weak, stochastic and classical external gravitational field. The dynamics predicts decoherence in position, momentum and energy. We show how our master equation reproduces the results present in the literature by taking appropriate limits, thus explaining the apparent contradiction in their dynamical description. Our result is relevant in light of the increasing interest in the low energy quantum-gravity regime.

description: We establish a novel representation of arbitrary Euler-Zagier sums in terms of weighted vacuum graphs. This representation uses a toy quantum field theory with infinitely many propagators and interaction vertices. The propagators involve Bernoulli polynomials and Clausen functions to arbitrary orders. The Feynman integrals of this model can be decomposed in terms of an algebra of elementary vertex integrals whose structure we investigate. We derive a large class of relations between multiple zeta values, of arbitrary lengths and weights, using only a certain set of graphical manipulations on Feynman diagrams. Further uses and possible generalizations of the model are pointed out.

Need for Standardized Measure of Modern Method Availability: Assessment of Indicators Using Health Facility Data from Three Country Contexts

description:
The concept of contraceptive method choice is complex and difficult to measure, usually requiring multiple metrics that represent the service environment, access, and acceptability. One of the most used measures for the family planning service delivery environment is method availability, or specifically, the contraceptive options that are available to clients at any given family planning service delivery point. Despite the importance of the measure, indicator definitions vary widely and are not standardized. We identified six versions of the method availability indicator and calculated each version using Service Provision Assessment data from three countries with varying family planning profiles, health service structures, and from different geographic areas: Bangladesh, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Haiti. We compared method availability estimates by urban/rural location, facility type, and across country context. Our results showed a wide variability in method availability estimates depending on the indicator used. Generally, indicators requiring a particular mix of method types had lower estimates of method availability than indicators only requiring a minimum number of methods. Results are discussed and recommendations are made to standardize indicator language and guidance. We further recommend the standardization of an indicator with a minimum mix of method types to ensure that a variety of method preferences can be met.

description: In this dissertation, I investigate the effects of a grounded learning experience on college students' mental models of physics systems. The grounded learning experience consisted of a priming stage and an instruction stage, and within each stage, one of two different types of visuo-haptic representation was applied: visuo-gestural simulation (visual modality and gestures) and visuo-haptic simulation (visual modality, gestures, and somatosensory information). A pilot study involving N = 23 college students examined how using different types of visuo-haptic representation in instruction affected people's mental model construction for physics systems. Participants' abilities to construct mental models were operationalized through their pretest-to-posttest gain scores for a basic physics system and their performance on a transfer task involving an advanced physics system. Findings from this pilot study revealed that, while both simulations significantly improved participants' mental modal construction for physics systems, visuo-haptic simulation was significantly better than visuo-gestural simulation. In addition, clinical interviews suggested that participants' mental model construction for physics systems benefited from receiving visuo-haptic simulation in a tutorial prior to the instruction stage. A dissertation study involving N = 96 college students examined how types of visuo-haptic representation in different applications support participants' mental model construction for physics systems. Participant's abilities to construct mental models were again operationalized through their pretest-to-posttest gain scores for a basic physics system and their performance on a transfer task involving an advanced physics system. Participants' physics misconceptions were also measured before and after the grounded learning experience. Findings from this dissertation study not only revealed that visuo-haptic simulation was significantly more effective in promoting mental model construction and remedying participants' physics misconceptions than visuo-gestural simulation, they also revealed that visuo-haptic simulation was more effective during the priming stage than during the instruction stage. Interestingly, the effects of visuo-haptic simulation in priming and visuo-haptic simulation in instruction on participants' pretest-to-posttest gain scores for a basic physics system appeared additive. These results suggested that visuo-haptic simulation is effective in physics learning, especially when it is used during the priming stage.

description: The anomalous scaling phenomena of three-dimensional passive scalar turbulence are studied using high resolution direct numerical simulation. The inertial range scaling exponents of the passive scalar increment and the scalar dissipation are obtained. The connection between the intermittency structure and the scaling exponent is examined and the structure instability of the high amplitude scalar dissipation is used to clarify previous experimental results for the scaling exponents.

description: Using an alternative notion of entropy introduced by Datta, the max-entropy, we present a new simplified framework to study the minimizers of the specific free energy for random fields which are weakly dependent in the sense of Lewis, Pfister, and Sullivan. The framework is then applied to derive the variational principle for the loop $O(n)$ model and the Ising model in a random percolation environment in the nonmagnetic phase, and we explain how to extend the variational principle to similar models. To demonstrate the generality of the framework, we indicate how to naturally fit into it the variational principle for models with an absolutely summable interaction potential, and for the random-cluster model.

description: The next generation of space-based networks will contain optical clocks embedded within satellites. To fully realize the capabilities of such clocks, high-precision clock synchronization across the networks will be necessary. Current experiments have shown the potential for classical frequency combs to synchronize remote optical clocks over free-space. However, these classical combs are restricted in precision to the standard quantum limit. Quantum frequency combs, however, which exhibit quantum properties such as squeezing and entanglement, provide pathways for going beyond the standard quantum limit. Here, we present our perspective on the prospects for practical clock synchronization in space using both classical and quantum frequency combs. We detail the current outcomes achievable with a classical frequency comb approach to synchronization, before quantifying the potential outcomes offered by quantum frequency combs. Challenges to be overcome in deploying frequency combs in space are presented, and the implications of almost-perfect synchronization for future space-based applications and experiments discussed.

Preeclampsia and eclampsia-specific maternal mortality in Bangladesh: Levels, trends, timing, and care-seeking practices

description:
Background: Despite improvements in many health indicators, maternal mortality has plateaued in Bangladesh. Achieving the global target of reductions in maternal mortality and the associated Sustainable Development Goals will not be possible without actions to prevent deaths due to preeclampsia/eclampsia. Here we examined the levels, trends, specific causes, timing, place, and care-seeking behaviours of women who died due to these two causes. Methods: We used nationally representative Bangladesh Maternal Mortality and Health Care Surveys (BMMSs) conducted in 2001, 2010, and 2016 to examine levels and trends of deaths due to preeclampsia/eclampsia. We based the analysis of specific causes, timing, and place of preeclampsia/eclampsia deaths, and care seeking before the deaths on 41 such deaths captured in the 2016 survey. We also used BMMS 2016 survey verbal autopsy (VA) questionnaire to highlight stories that put faces to the numbers. Results: The preeclampsia/eclampsia-specific mortality ratio decreased from 77 per 100 000 live births in the 2001 BMMS to 40 per 100 000 live births in the 2010 BMMS, yet halted in the 2016 BMMS at 46 per 100 000 live births. Although preeclampsia/eclampsia accounted for around one-fifth of all maternal deaths in the 2010 BMMS, in the 2016 BMMS, the percentage contribution reached the 2001 BMMS level of 24%. An analysis of the VA questionnaire's open section showed that almost all such death cases left their homes to seek care; however, most had to visit more than one facility before they died, indicating an unprepared health system. Conclusions: A cluster of preeclampsia/eclampsia-specific mortality observed during the first trimester, during delivery, and within 48 hours of birth indicates a need for preconception health check-ups and strengthened facility readiness. Awareness of maternal complications, proper care seeking, and healthy reproductive practices, like family planning to space and limit pregnancy through client-supportive counselling, may be beneficial. Improving regular and emergency maternal services readiness is also essential.

description: The aim of the paper is to assess disparities in social development of rural areas in Poland in the context of sustainable development. Social development is a multidimensional process; therefore, it requires a two-stage research procedure. The first stage consists in the analysis of the regional differentiation of the indicators for social development of rural areas in Poland in the context of implementing the concept of sustainable development, which is further divided into five social components. The second stage is a multidimensional assessment of disparities in social development of rural areas in Poland, carried out using a taxonomic measure of development. This measure enabled both classifying voivodeships in terms of the achieved level of social development of rural areas and identifying voivodeships with similar characteristics. The time scope of the analysis covered 2008 and 2018 , while the territorial scope covered 16 Polish voivodeships. The study has found a large regional differentiation in terms of social development of rural areas, which confirms the thesis on regional polarization discussed in the literature. It turns out that none of the regions can be regarded as a model example of social development. The results indicate the need for taking measures to reduce development disparities at the social level in rural areas between better and less developed voivodeships. This is necessary to counteract the exclusion of underdeveloped regions.
Considerations on the design of flowthrough rockfill drains

description: Up to the present time the main tool used in the hydraulic design of flowthrough rockfill drains appears to have been Wilkins' (1956) equation. In this Paper the assumptions associated with this equation are discussed in detail. The authors note that piezometers are sometimes installed in rockfill drains to permit mine operators to ensure that a drain is functioning as expected, yet little effort seems to have been expended in verifying whether the observed water levels are in agreement with levels which could be estimated using theoretical considerations. Such modelling can indicate whether the values of parameters assumed in Wilkins' equation were correct and may therefore also indicate whether appreciable clogging of the drain has occurred. This Paper discusses an adaptation of the theory of gradually varied flow for computing the phreatic surface within a rock drain. Wilkins' (1956) equation for non-Darcy flow through porous media utilizes the parameter known as the hydraulic mean radius. In this Paper a rationale is presented for estimating this important parameter. The effect of subzero temperatures on the hydraulic capacity of rockfill drains has been examined for the first time. The possibility of ice build-up within a flowthrough rockfill drain is discussed, including the main modes of heat loss and the role of the viscous dissipation of hydraulic energy.

description: The dynamics of the domains is studied in a two-dimensional model of the microphase separation of diblock copolymers in the vicinity of the transition. A criterion for the validity of the mean field theory is derived. It is shown that at certain temperatures the ordered hexagonal pattern becomes unstable with respect to the two types of instabilities: the radially-nonsymmetric distortions of the domains and the repumping of the order parameter between the neighbors. Both these instabilities may lead to the transformation of the regular hexagonal pattern into a disordered pattern.
