title: Cool star magnetic field topologies : connecting simulations and observations for solar-like stars
Creators: name: Lehmann, Lisa Theres
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews
Year: 2020

description: Good knowledge about cool star magnetic activity, topology and cycles is crucial to find a second solar system and to better understand ours. The Zeeman-Doppler-Imaging (ZDI) surveys, which unveil the stellar magnetic field topology, have now run for long enough to detect solar-like activity cycles. This is a good point to review what ZDI detects robustly and how to interpret the resulting ZDI maps. As ZDI only detects the large-scale magnetic field an important question to answer is: What can we learn from the large-scale field topology about the small-scale field for solar-like stars? I connect 3D non-potential flux transport simulations based on the Sun with the observational ZDI technique. First, I decomposed the magnetic field topology of the simulations into different length-scales. I discovered that the large-scale field reflects global properties of the small-scale field emergence for slowly-rotating solar-like stars. Second, I used synthetic line profiles modelled from the simulations as input for ZDI. I showed that ZDI can recover the hints of the small-scale flux emergence in the observable large-scale field for slow rotators but recovers approximately one order of magnitude lower magnetic energy. The maximum entropy regularisation used in ZDI prevents the correct reconstruction of the magnetic energy distribution but ZDI can recover the fractions of the different field components reasonably well. To examine if ZDI can recover solar-like cycles, I applied ZDI to non-potential flux transport simulations modelling the solar magnetic field over 15 years. I discovered that the axisymmetric poloidal fraction and the axi- and non-axisymmetric energy are the best parameters to track solar-like activity cycles while the averaged large-scale field or the total energy show no or misleading trends.

description: How does the environment affect active galactic nucleus (AGN) activity? We investigated this question in an extinction-free way, by selecting 1120 infrared galaxies in the $AKARI$ North Ecliptic Pole Wide field at redshift $z$ $\leq$ 1.2. A unique feature of the $AKARI$ satellite is its continuous 9-band infrared (IR) filter coverage, providing us with an unprecedentedly large sample of IR spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of galaxies. By taking advantage of this, for the first time, we explored the AGN activity derived from SED modelling as a function of redshift, luminosity, and environment. We quantified AGN activity in two ways: AGN contribution fraction (ratio of AGN luminosity to the total IR luminosity), and AGN number fraction (ratio of number of AGNs to the total galaxy sample). We found that galaxy environment (normalised local density) does not greatly affect either definitions of AGN activity of our IRG/LIRG samples (log ${\rm L}_{\rm TIR}$ $\leq$ 12). However, we found a different behavior for ULIRGs (log ${\rm L}_{\rm TIR}$ $>$ 12). At our highest redshift bin (0.7 $\lesssim$ z $\lesssim$ 1.2), AGN activity increases with denser environments, but at the intermediate redshift bin (0.3 $\lesssim$ z $\lesssim$ 0.7), the opposite is observed. These results may hint at a different physical mechanism for ULIRGs. The trends are not statistically significant (p $\geq$ 0.060 at the intermediate redshift bin, and p $\geq$ 0.139 at the highest redshift bin). Possible different behavior of ULIRGs is a key direction to explore further with future space missions (e.g., $JWST$, $Euclid$, $SPHEREx$).

description: As a consequence of the AdS/CFT correspondence, planar ${\cal N} =4$ super Yang-Mills SU(N) theory is expected to exhibit stringy behavior and multi-Regge asymptotic. In this paper we extend our recent investigation to consider issues of analyticity, a central feature of Regge asymptotics. We contrast flat-space open string theory in the planar limit with the ${\cal N}=4$ super Yang-Mills theory, as represented by the Bern, Dixon and Smirnov \cite{Bern:2005iz} (BDS) conjecture for n-gluon scattering, believed to be exact for $n=4,5$ and modified only by a function of cross-ratios for $n\geq 6$. It is emphasized that multi-Regge factorization should be applied to trajectories with definite signature. A variety of analyticity and factorization constraints realized in flat space string theory are not satisfied by the BDS conjecture, at least when the exponential factors are truncate in the infra-red regulator below $O(ε)$.

Is the injectivity of this function undecidable? The problem was answered positively in the case of the Euclidean plane by Jarkko Kari, in 1994. In the present paper, we show that the answer is also positive for the hyperbolic plane: the problem is undecidable.

description: Machine Learning methods are emerging as faster and efficient alternatives to numerical simulation techniques. The field of Scientific Computing has started adopting these data-driven approaches to faithfully model physical phenomena using scattered, noisy observations from coarse-grained grid-based simulations. In this paper, we investigate data-driven modelling of Bose-Einstein Condensates (BECs). In particular, we use Gaussian Processes (GPs) to model the ground state wave function of BECs as a function of scattering parameters from the dimensionless Gross Pitaveskii Equation (GPE). Experimental results illustrate the ability of GPs to accurately reproduce ground state wave functions using a limited number of data points from simulations. Consistent performance across different configurations of BECs, namely Scalar and Vectorial BECs generated under different potentials, including harmonic, double well and optical lattice potentials pronounces the versatility of our method. Comparison with existing data-driven models indicates that our model achieves similar accuracy with only a small fraction 1/50th of data points used by existing methods, in addition to modelling uncertainty from data. When used as a simulator post-training, our model generates ground state wave functions $36 \times $ faster than Trotter Suzuki, a numerical approximation technique that uses Imaginary time evolution. Our method is quite general; with minor changes it can be applied to similar quantum many-body problems.

title: Relationships Between Foster Home Placement and Later Acculturation Patterns of Selected American Indians
Creators: name: Smith, Robert Dean
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1968

description: A survey was made of the graduates of an educationally-oriented church-sponsored foster home placement agency. The subjects for the study had been graduated from high schools in Idaho, Arizona, Canada, and throughout Utah. There were 235 students graduated during the period 1954-1967. The survey of these subjects was made by the use of the mailed questionnaire method. Responses were received from 165 (70.21 percent) of the subjects.
The investigator was searching for modal patterns of behavior among the graduates. Some significant trends seem to be emerging in their post-high school activities. Implications for future studies of the culturally disadvantaged are evident as a result of the study.
The subjects of this study appear to be preparing themselves to become more self-reliant in their own culture and functional in the dominant culture. The accomplishments of the respondents compare favorably with those of their contemporaries of the non-Indian population.

description: Stressors may lead to a shift in the timing of life-history events of species causing a mismatch with optimal environmental conditions, potentially reducing fitness. In honeybees, the timing of brood rearing and nest emergence in late winter/early spring is critical as colonies need to grow fast after winter to prepare for reproduction. However, the effects of stress on these life-history events in late winter/early spring and the possible consequences are not well understood. Therefore, we tested whether (i) honeybee colonies shift timing of brood rearing and nest emergence as response to stressors, and (ii) if there is a consequent loss of social resilience, reflected in colony fitness (survival, growth and reproduction). We monitored stressed (high load of the parasitic mite Varroa destructor or nutrition restricted) colonies and presumably non-stressed colonies from the beginning of 2020 till spring of 2021. We found that honeybee colonies do not shift the timing of brood rearing and nest emergence in spring as a coping mechanism to stressors. However, we show that there is loss of social resilience in stressed colonies, leading to reduced growth and reproduction. Our study contributes to better understanding the effects of stressors on social resilience in eusocial organisms.

description: we have fabricated transparent electronic devices based on graphene materials with thickness down to one single atomic layer by the transfer printing method. The resulting printed graphene devices retain high field effect mobility and have low contact resistance. The results show that the transfer printing method is capable of high-quality transfer of graphene materials from silicon dioxide substrates, and the method thus will have wide applications in manipulating and delivering graphene materials to desired substrate and device geometries. Since the method is purely additive, it exposes graphene (or other functional materials) to no chemical preparation or lithographic steps, providing greater experimental control over device environment for reproducibility and for studies of fundamental transport mechanisms. Finally, the transport properties of the graphene devices on the PET substrate demonstrate the non-universality of minimum conductivity and the incompleteness of the current transport theory.

description: We study the collective behavior of swarmalators, generalizations of phase oscillators that both sync and swarm, confined to move on a 1D ring. This simple model captures some of the essence of movement in 2D or 3D but has the benefit of being solvable: most of the collective states and their bifurcations can be specified exactly. The model also captures the behavior of real-world swarmalators which swarm in quasi-1D rings such as bordertaxic sperm and vinegar eels.

description: We investigate the $J_1$-$J_2$ spin chain consisting of spins with magnitude $\frac12$. The nearest-neighbor and the next-nearest-neighbor exchange interactions are ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic, respectively, and induce strong frustration. Both these interactions involve the bond alternation. We find exact solutions for all the degenerate ground states on the phase boundary of the ferromagnetic phase. The degeneracy remains irrespective of two parameters representing the bond alternation. The exact solutions are of closed forms for no bond alternation and of recursion formulae in general. The exact solutions are applicable to the $Δ$ chain as a special case.

Analytical procedures for reducing uncertainty in the technological control of eutrophication
Creators: name: Summers, Trevor J.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The management of aquatic resources by technological means generates a significant degree of uncertainty regarding a system's performance and its potential impact upon the natural environment. The central concern of this thesis is to illustrate the kinds of analyses that are required in order to identify and reduce the uncertainties associated with the technological control of water quality. Provided as background information is a general review of the seasonal dynamics of lakes, a statement of the concepts of natural and cultural eutrophication, an outline of the socio-economic costs associated with eutrophication, and a description of prominent remedial technologies. The specific situation examined herein is Deer Lake within the Municipality of Burnaby. The natural and cultural environments of Deer Lake are described in addition to the lake's morphology and indigenous biota. Specific water quality problems relevant to the intended cultural use of the lake (outdoor recreation) are, in turn, identified and discussed These include water temperature, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, nutrient concentrations, and lake depth. As part of the analysis, the thesis proceeds to demonstrate the manner in which water quality problems may be conceptualized from the perspective of intended resource use, and how the articulation of these problems in the prescribed form facilitates the initial selection of technologies appropriate to the task. The illustrative analyses of three remedial technological options are then conducted with a view to illustrating how the deficiencies of knowledge and the problems of limited data may, to some extent, be overcome. This research concludes that the analytical procedures employed here serves to introduce a greater degree of objectivity to the process than might otherwise occur. In addition, such a structured approach provides for a more complete analysis of the problem with a greater degree of rigour in the results. Finally, recommendations for further research in this area are made with a view towards expanding the applicability of, and introducing greater rigour in the format employed.

description: A characteristic feature of the nuclear microprobe using a 3 MeV proton beam is the long range of particles (around 70 μm in light matrices). The PIXE method, with EDS analysis and using the multilayer approach for treating the X-ray spectrum allows the chemistry of an intra-crystalline inclusion to be measured, provided the inclusion roof and thickness at the impact point of the beam (Z and e, respectively) are known (the depth of the inclusion floor is Z + e). The parameter Z of an inclusion in a mineral can be measured with a precision of around 1 μm using a motorized microscope. However, this value may significantly depart from Z if the analyzed inclusion has a complex shape. The parameter e can hardly be measured optically. By using combined RBS and PIXE measurements, it is possible to obtain the geometrical information needed for quantitative elemental analysis. This paper will present measurements on synthetic samples to investigate the advantages of the technique, and also on natural solid and fluid inclusions in quartz. The influence of the geometrical parameters will be discussed with regard to the concentration determination by PIXE. In particular, accuracy of monazite micro-inclusion dating by coupled PIXE-RBS will be presented.

description: Survival analysis is a critical tool for the modelling of time-to-event data, such as life expectancy after a cancer diagnosis or optimal maintenance scheduling for complex machinery. However, current neural network models provide an imperfect solution for survival analysis as they either restrict the shape of the target probability distribution or restrict the estimation to pre-determined times. As a consequence, current survival neural networks lack the ability to estimate a generic function without prior knowledge of its structure. In this article, we present the metaparametric neural network framework that encompasses existing survival analysis methods and enables their extension to solve the aforementioned issues. This framework allows survival neural networks to satisfy the same independence of generic function estimation from the underlying data structure that characterizes their regression and classification counterparts. Further, we demonstrate the application of the metaparametric framework using both simulated and large real-world datasets and show that it outperforms the current state-of-the-art methods in (i) capturing nonlinearities, and (ii) identifying temporal patterns, leading to more accurate overall estimations whilst placing no restrictions on the underlying function structure.

description: Excerpts from the report: One of the most revolutionary changes occurring in the past 20 years in the dairy industry has been the widespread use of half-gallon and 1- gallon containers for milk. Use of these multiquart containers is likely to increase further for many reasons. This increased use of multiquart containers has had a tremendous impact upon the dairy industry. New containers and new sizes have introduced new flexibility and variety into competitive methods in merchandising. This flexibility probably has had as much effect on the industry as the changes affecting costs and efficiency. The purpose of this report is to describe the practices and costs of eight farmer cooperatives packaging fluid milk in multiquart containers. In addition, it analyzes the alternatives of packaging or not packaging milk in multiquart containers to determine the effect of these containers on costs of packaging and handling milk. A further purpose of this study as reported on here is to provide a basis upon which cooperatives and other firms can make decisions concerning use of multiquart containers in order to maximize net returns to producer patrons or stockholders.

description: Co-base superalloys are considered as promising high temperature materials besides the well-established Ni-base superalloys. However, Ni appears to be an indispensable alloying element also in Co-base superalloys. To address the influence of the base elements on the deformation behavior, high-temperature compressive creep experiments were performed on a single crystal alloy series that was designed to exhibit a varying Co/Ni ratio and a constant Al, W and Cr content. Creep tests were performed at 900 °C and 250 MPa and the resulting microstructures and defect configurations were characterized via electron microscopy. The minimum creep rates differ by more than one order of magnitude with changing Co/Ni ratio. An intermediate CoNi-base alloy exhibits the overall highest creep strength. Several strengthening contributions like solid solution strengthening of the $γ$ phase, effective diffusion coefficients or stacking fault energies were quantified. Precipitate shearing mechanisms differ significantly when the base element content is varied. While the Ni-rich superalloys exhibit SISF and SESF shearing, the Co-rich alloys develop extended APBs when the $γ^\prime$ phase is cut. This is mainly attributed to a difference in planar fault energies, caused by a changing segregation behavior. As result, it is assumed that the shearing resistivity and the occurring deformation mechanisms in the $γ^\prime$ phase are crucial for the creep properties of the investigated alloy series.

description: A counter-intuitive result in entanglement theory was shown in [PRL 91 037902 (2003)], namely that entanglement can be distributed by sending a separable state through a quantum channel. In this work, following an analogy between the entanglement and secret key distillation scenarios, we derive its classical analog: secrecy can be distributed by sending non-secret correlations through a private channel. This strengthens the close relation between entanglement and secrecy.

description: The origin of both the Ising chain magnetism and ferroelectricity in Ca$_3$CoMnO$_6$ is studied by $ab$ $initio$ electronic structure calculations and x-ray absorption spectroscopy. We find that Ca$_3$CoMnO$_6$ has the alternate trigonal prismatic Co$^{2+}$ and octahedral Mn$^{4+}$ sites in the spin chain. Both the Co$^{2+}$ and Mn$^{4+}$ are in the high spin state. In addition, the Co$^{2+}$ has a huge orbital moment of 1.7 $μ_B$ which is responsible for the significant Ising magnetism. The centrosymmetric crystal structure known so far is calculated to be unstable with respect to exchange striction in the experimentally observed $\uparrow\uparrow\downarrow\downarrow$ antiferromagnetic structure for the Ising chain. The calculated inequivalence of the Co-Mn distances accounts for the ferroelectricity.

We quantify this explicitly using the simplest minimal supergravity model with bilinear breaking of R-parity, which accounts for the observed pattern of neutrino masses and mixings seen in neutrino oscillation experiments.

description: We study the dependence of turbulent transport coefficients, such as the components of the $α$ tensor ($α_{ij}$) and the turbulent magnetic diffusivity tensor ($η_{ij}$), on shear and magnetic Reynolds number in the presence of helical forcing. We use three-dimensional direct numerical simulations with periodic boundary conditions and measure the turbulent transport coefficients using the kinematic test field method. In all cases the magnetic Prandtl number is taken as unity. We find that with increasing shear the diagonal components of $α_{ij}$ quench, whereas those of $η_{ij}$ increase. The antisymmetric parts of both tensors increase with increasing shear. We also propose a simple expression for the turbulent pumping velocity (or $γ$ effect). This pumping velocity is proportional to the kinetic helicity of the turbulence and the vorticity of the mean flow. For negative helicity, i.e. for a positive trace of $α_{ij}$, it points in the direction of the mean vorticity, i.e. perpendicular to the plane of the shear flow. Our simulations support this expression for low shear and magnetic Reynolds number. The transport coefficients depend on the wavenumber of the mean flow in a Lorentzian fashion, just as for non-shearing turbulence.

description: We provide a study of the supersymmetric Adler--Bardeen anomaly in the $\N=1, d=4,6,10$ super-Yang--Mills theories. We work in the component formalism that includes shadow fields, for which Slavnov--Taylor identities can be independently set for both gauge invariance and supersymmetry. We find a method with improved descent equations for getting the solutions of the consistency conditions of both Slavnov--Taylor identities and finding the local field polynomials for the standard Adler--Bardeen anomaly and its supersymmetric counterpart. We give the explicit solution for the ten-dimensional case.

title: The Effect of Anger Management and Communication Training on Functional and Quality-of-Life Status in Fibromyalgia Patients
Creators: name: Stillman, Alexandra Michele
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a debilitating condition that affects millions of individuals throughout the world. As of yet the specific etiology of this condition remains unknown and successful treatments remain in their infancy. Although several studies have focused on the emotional components of fibromyalgia, none have specifically addressed the issues of communication and anger that appear to be important among this patient population. The objectives of this study were to design a 4-week experimental group therapy treatment based on successful cognitive behavioral components and add anger management and communication components in an attempt to increase benefits to the overall well-being of patients.
Subjects were 46 fibromyalgia patients recruited from physicians, chiropractors, and physical therapists as well as through newspaper, radio, and advertising through flyers. Patients who were accepted into the study were randomly assigned to either a treatment group or a wait-list control group, with the control group receiving the treatment in the month following the treatment group. Outcomes were assessed using a repeated measures analysis of variance with one within (time) and one-between subjects (group) factor. The five assessment measures utilized in this study were the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ), the Short-Form 36 (SF-36) Version 2, the Chronic Pain Self-Efficacy Survey (CPSS), the State Trait Anger Expression Inventory- 2 (ST AXI-2) and a communication inventory developed specifically for this intervention. Specific outcomes measured included change on fibromyalgia-specific symptoms and physical and emotional health-related status, improvement in communication, change in anger scores, and changes in levels of self-efficacy.
Analysis of patient outcome data revealed that significant results were achieved in the areas of mental health and communication variables . In addition, several notable effect sizes were also found, particularly in the areas of vitality (-.97), mental health (-.76) and pain management (-1.17). Results demonstrated that a brief, cost-effective 4-week intervention can have a beneficial impact for FMS patients in the area of psychological function. Implications of these findings are discussed within the context of the existing literature on fibromyalgia treatment as well as in terms of possible limitations of the study as it was conducted.

description: Excerpts from the report: This publication is the result of a survey to determine why farmers sell their grain to a particular elevator and what services they consider most important. It is based on interviews with farmers and operators of cooperative and other elevators in four Missouri areas. The first part deals with conditions affecting off-farm grain movements and with variations in elevator facilities. In the second part, farmers and elevator operators rate the importance of factors' influencing grain deliveries.
Hunt for extremely eccentric eclipsing binaries

description: We report the very first analysis of 27 eclipsing binary systems with high eccentricities that sometimes reach up to 0.8. The orbital periods for these systems range from 1.4 to 37 days, and the median of the sample is 10.3 days. Star CzeV3392 (= UCAC4 623 022784), for example, currently is the eclipsing system with the highest eccentricity (e = 0.22) of stars with a period shorter than 1.5 days. We analysed the light curves of all 27 systems and obtained the physical parameters of both components, such as relative radii, inclinations, or relative luminosities. The most important parameters appear to be the derived periods and eccentricities. They allow constructing the period-eccentricity diagram. This eccentricity distribution is used to study the tidal circularisation theories. Many systems have detected third-light contributions, which means that the Kozai-Lidov cycles might also be responsible for the high eccentricities in some of the binaries.

description: We report results from two-dimensional Raman spectroscopy studies of large-area epitaxial graphene grown on SiC. Our work reveals unexpectedly large variation in Raman peak position across the sample resulting from inhomogeneity in the strain of the graphene film, which we show to be correlated with physical topography by coupling Raman spectroscopy with atomic force microscopy. We report that essentially strain free graphene is possible even for epitaxial graphene.

description: The study presents a room acoustical investigation of a representative sample of eight Kabuki theaters as the most important public performance venues of pre-modern Japan. Room acoustical parameters according to ISO 3382 were measured for the unoccupied and simulated for the occupied condition. In comparison with European proscenium stage theaters, they have lower room heights in the auditorium, with usually only one upper tier, and no high stage house for movable scenery. The lower volume per seat results in lower reverberation times, The wooden construction and the audience seating arrangement on wooden straw mats on the floor instead of upholstered seats leads to a mostly flat frequency response up to 4 kHz, resulting in an excellent speech intelligibility, as documented by values for definition (D50) and the speech intelligibility index (STI). The acoustical conditions support the dynamic acting space created by pathways extending the stage from the front through the audience to the rear of the auditorium. They allow great contrasts in the perceived acoustical proximity depending on the selected acting position, and support a high degree of immersion of the audience into the dramatic action.
Relaxation of a Single Knotted Ring Polymer

description: The relaxation of a single knotted ring polymer is studied by Brownian dynamics simulations. The relaxation rate lambda_q for the wave number q is estimated by the least square fit of the equilibrium time-displaced correlation function to a double exponential decay at long times. The relaxation rate distribution of a single ring polymer with the trefoil knot appears to behave as lambda_q=A(1/N^)x for q=1 and lambda_q=A'(q/N)^x' for q=2 and 3, where x=2.61, x'=2.02 and A>A'. The wave number q of the slowest relaxation rate for each N is given by q=2 for small values of N, while it is given by q=1 for large values of N. This crossover corresponds to the change of the structure of the ring polymer caused by the localization of the knotted part to a part of the ring polymer.

description: We consider the cosmological evolution in an osculating point Barthel-Randers type geometry, in which to each point of the space-time manifold an arbitrary point vector field is associated. This Finsler type geometry is assumed to describe the physical properties of the gravitational field, as well as the cosmological dynamics. For the Barthel-Randers geometry the connection is given by the Levi-Civita connection of the associated Riemann metric. The generalized Friedmann equations in the Barthel-Randers geometry are obtained by considering that the background Riemannian metric in the Randers line element is of Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker type. The matter energy balance equation is derived, and it is interpreted from the point of view of the thermodynamics of irreversible processes in the presence of particle creation. The cosmological properties of the model are investigated in detail, and it is shown that the model admits a de Sitter type solution, and that an effective cosmological constant can also be generated. Several exact cosmological solutions are also obtained. A comparison of three specific models with the observational data and with the standard $Λ$CDM model is also performed by fitting the observed values of the Hubble parameter, with the models giving a satisfactory description of the observations.

description: We study the potential observation at the LHC of CP-violating effects in stop production and subsequent cascade decays, g g -> tilde{t}_i tilde{t}_i, tilde{t}_i -> t tilde{chi}^0_j, tilde{chi}^0_j -> tildeχ^0_1 l^+ l^-, within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. We study T-odd asymmetries based on triple products between the different decay products. There may be a large CP asymmetry at the parton level, but there is a significant dilution at the hadronic level after integrating over the parton distribution functions. Consequently, even for scenarios where large CP intrinsic asymmetries are expected, the measurable asymmetry is rather small. High luminosity and precise measurements of masses, branching ratios and CP asymmetries may enable measurements of the CP-violating parameters in cascade decays at the LHC.
