Creators: name: Assefa, Rahel
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: Background: There are three HPV vaccines that are safe and effective for protecting HPV infection. These are: bivalent which protect from HPV type 16 and 18, quadrivalent for HPV type 6, 11, 16 and 18, and nonavalent for HPV type 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52 and 58. About 7,000 new cervical cancer cases are diagnosed annually in Ethiopia. It is the second cause of cancer related death in women aged 15 to 44 year. Even thouge Ethiopia undergo a pilot for HPV vaccine implementation at two sites in Oromia Region, Jimma zone, Gomma woreda and Tigray Region Ahiferom Woreda with support of GAVI, there is no data that show a finding regarding the current status of receiver's attitude, acceptance, and mainly girls' preference for HPV vaccine. Objective: The aims of this study was to rank the contribution of the attributes for HPV vaccination; and to measure the willingness-to-pay, the trade-offs, and choices of girls between risk and benefits of the vaccination. Methods: The study was done by using discrete choice experiment (DCE). The data was collected from Februray to March 2017 among 4 different secondary schools in Addis Ababa. A total of 336 girls aged 15-18 year were included in the study. The vaccination program attributes considered in the choice experiment were: degree of protection against cervical cancer, duration of protection, age at vaccination, number of doses, risk of developing serious side effects, price of vaccine, and way of delivery. Each choice set of all determined options were put in to mixed logit model to determine the sign of the coefficient of each attributes. Trade-offs and WTP also determined. Results: From all participants, only six of them had been vaccinated for HPV. Doctors recommendation (34.9 %), mass-media campaign (81%) and positive familys' opinion (80 %) were factors encouraging respondents to get the vaccination. Girls were willing to trade-off 5 % of protection against cervical cancer in order to get HPV vaccination which had protective duration of 25 years instead of 8 years. On average the respondents were willing to pay 153 ETB for an improvement in protection against cervical cancer from 70 % to 98 %. Conclusion: There was significant variationeof preference among girls for all HPV vaccine attributes. Degree of protection, number doses, and the risk of serious side effect were the three most important attributes which guide the choice of girls, while cost of the vaccine had been the least important factor. We found high level of tradd-offs level of protection against number of doses, seriouse side effects and place of delivery

description: We update the ingredients of the Gaussian streaming model (GSM) for the redshift-space clustering of biased tracers using the techniques of Lagrangian perturbation theory, effective field theory (EFT) and a generalized Lagrangian bias expansion. After relating the GSM to the cumulant expansion, we present new results for the real-space correlation function, mean pairwise velocity and pairwise velocity dispersion including counter terms from EFT and bias terms through third order in the linear density, its leading derivatives and its shear up to second order. We discuss the connection to the Gaussian peaks formalism. We compare the ingredients of the GSM to a suite of large N-body simulations, and show the performance of the theory on the low order multipoles of the redshift-space correlation function and power spectrum. We highlight the importance of a general biasing scheme, which we find to be as important as higher-order corrections due to non-linear evolution for the halos we consider on the scales of interest to us.

description: The purpose of this master's thesis is to present and analyze the crime of Smuggling - Contraband as regulated by the relevant special criminal law 2960/2001 but also the individual concerns that the implementation of this law has created through the double criminality that is created but also its treatment mainly by the Greek and European - Union Case Law, but also by the theorists. The first part of the paper presents the crime of smuggling - contraband and its individual elements (legal property, objective and subjective existence, participation, confluence) in all its forms under the light of Greek case law, while the second part presents the context of its criminal sanction, in which the main and ancillary sentences provided for it are analyzed, with special reference to confiscation and in cases of elimination of crime. Finally, the present master’s thesis presents the problem of double criminality for the crime of smuggling - contraband in direct relation to the principle "ne bis in idem" and lists relevant court orders that signal the interpretation of Greek law on this issue.

description: The high degree of symmetry renders the dynamics of cosmological as well as some black hole spacetimes describable by a system of finite degrees of freedom. These systems are generally known as minisuperspace models. One of their important key features is the invariance of the corresponding reduced actions under reparametrizations of the independent variable, a fact that can be seen as the remnant of the general covariance of the full theory. In the case of a system of $n$ degrees of freedom, described by a Lagrangian quadratic in velocities, one can use the lapse by either gauge fixing it or letting it be defined by the constraint and subsequently substitute into the rest of the equations. In the first case, the system is solvable for $n$ accelerations and the constraint becomes a restriction among constants. In the second case, the system can only be solved for $n-1$ accelerations and the "gauge" freedom is transferred to the choice of one of the scalar degrees of freedom. In this paper, we take the second path and express all $n-1$ scalar degrees of freedom in terms of the remaining one, say $q$. By considering these $n-1$ degrees of freedom as arbitrary but given functions of $q$, we manage to extract a two dimensional pure gauge system consisting of the lapse $N$ and the arbitrary $q$: in a way, we decouple the reparametrization invariance from the rest of the equations of motion. The solution of the corresponding quantum two dimensional system is used for the definition of a generalized probability for every configuration $f^i (q)$, be it classical or not. The main result is that, interestingly enough, this probability attains its extrema on the classical solution of the initial $n$-dimensional system.

description: Symmetry acting on a (2+1)$D$ topological order can be anomalous in the sense that they possess an obstruction to being realized as a purely (2+1)$D$ on-site symmetry. In this paper, we develop a (3+1)$D$ topological quantum field theory to calculate the anomaly indicators of a (2+1)$D$ topological order with a general symmetry group $G$, which may be discrete or continuous, Abelian or non-Abelian, contain anti-unitary elements or not, and permute anyons or not. These anomaly indicators are partition functions of the (3+1)$D$ topological quantum field theory on a specific manifold equipped with some $G$-bundle, and they are expressed using the data characterizing the topological order and the symmetry actions. Our framework is applied to derive the anomaly indicators for various symmetry groups, including $\mathbb{Z}_2\times\mathbb{Z}_2$, $\mathbb{Z}_2^T\times\mathbb{Z}_2^T$, $SO(N)$, $O(N)^T$, $SO(N)\times \mathbb{Z}_2^T$, etc, where $\mathbb{Z}_2$ and $\mathbb{Z}_2^T$ denote a unitary and anti-unitary order-2 group, respectively, and $O(N)^T$ denotes a symmetry group $O(N)$ such that elements in $O(N)$ with determinant $-1$ are anti-unitary. In particular, we demonstrate that some anomaly of $O(N)^T$ and $SO(N)\times \mathbb{Z}_2^T$ exhibit symmetry-enforced gaplessness, i.e., they cannot be realized by any symmetry-enriched topological order. As a byproduct, for $SO(N)$ symmetric topological orders, we derive their $SO(N)$ Hall conductance.

Η ενσωμάτωση της δημόσιας τέχνης στον αστικό ιστό, διαδραματίζει έναν ρόλο - πέρα από την τυπική ταυτότητα του έργου τέχνης. Το έργο τέχνης αναλαμβάνει ουσιαστικά, τον ρόλο του τοπόσημου, της ταυτότητας ενός τόπου. Η δημόσια τέχνη «αφουγκράζεται» την ανάγκη των πόλεων για ταυτότητα και ανανέωση, για ελκυστικότητα και ανάπτυξη, βελτιώνοντας την ποιότητα ζωής των κατοίκων της αλλά και προσελκύοντας επισκέπτες και επενδυτές. Στόχος της παρούσας μελέτης, είναι να εξετάσει την συμβολή της δημόσιας τέχνης στο city branding. Αφετηριακή παραδοχή μας είναι ότι η ενσωμάτωση του έργου τέχνης, στο αστικό τοπίο μπορεί να λειτουργήσει μετασχηματικά, τόσο για τον χώρο όσο και για το έργο τέχνης. Τα παραδείγματα των πόλεων που εξετάζονται, μας επιτρέπουν να αποτιμήσουμε τις διαφορετικές πρακτικές που έχουν εφαρμοστεί μέχρι στιγμής, ενώ παράλληλα μας βοηθούν στην βαθύτερη κατανόηση της μεταβολής του αστικού χώρου από την δημόσια τέχνη και την επίδραση του έργου τέχνης στην αναμόρφωση της ταυτότητας της πόλης.
description: This dissertation focuses on the study of public art and how it can change the identity of the city in which it is located. The integration of public art in the urban fabric plays a new role, beyond the formal identity of the work of art. It plays the role of the landmark, the identity of a place. Public art " listens " to the need of cities for renewal and modernization and is redefined by giving a new image, improving the quality of life and attracting new visitors and locals to visit. The aim of this study is to examine the contribution of public art to city branding. Our starting point is that the integration of the work of art in the urban landscape can work transformatively for both the space and the work of art. The examples of cities examined allow us to evaluate the different practices that have been implemented so far, while also helping us to better understand the change of urban space from public art and the impact of artwork on reshaping the identity of the city.

description: We show how to estimate a broad class of multipartite entanglement measures from Bell basis measurement data. In addition to lowering the experimental requirements relative to previously known methods of estimating these measures, our proposed scheme also enables a simpler analysis of the number of measurement repetitions required to achieve an $ε$-close approximation of the measures, which we provide for each. We focus our analysis on the recently introduced Concentratable Entanglements [Beckey et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 127, 140501 (2021)] because many other well-known multipartite entanglement measures are recovered as special cases of this family of measures. We extend the definition of the Concentratable Entanglements to mixed states and show how to construct lower bounds on the mixed state Concentratable Entanglements that can also be estimated using only Bell basis measurement data. Finally, we demonstrate the feasibility of our methods by realistically simulating their implementation on a Rydberg atom quantum computer.

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2016

description: Background: Youth is characterized by emotional, social and physical transformations that can expose young people to risky sexual behaviorsand healthy sexuality needs an investment from parents. Risky sexual behavior among youth is still a major issue in Sub-Saharan Africa including Ethiopia. Little has been studied about risky behaviorsin the context of private higher education institutions in Ethiopia.Thus, this study tried to assess the magnitude of risky sexual behaviors and associated factors among students in Kea Med University College, Ethiopia. Methods: An institution based cross-sectional study was conducted from January - April 2016. A total of 846 students were selected using stratified random sampling method. SPSS software version 20 was used to perform descriptive statistics, univariate, bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses to identify factors associated with early initiation of sex and multiple sexual partners. Results:Of the 820 study participants, 240 (29.3%) ever had sex, 139 (57.9%) had sex 12 months preceding survey, 63 (26.2%) ever had multiple sexual partners and 44 (62%) used condom inconsistently. Regarding the behavior of youth, 183 (22.7%) drink alcohol, 88 (10.7%) chew khat and150 (18.3%) watched pornographic video. About 143 (59.3%) of students ever had male friend who practiced sex and 142 (59.2%)ever had female friend who practiced sex. Sex, living arrangement, father's educational status, income of family per month, drinking alcohol, chewing khat, watching pornographies, having male friends' who initiated sex, parenting styles and practices were significantly associated withearly initiation of sex and ever had multiple sexual partners. Females were two times (AOR = 1.50; [95%C: 1.02, 4.88]) and three times (AOR = 3.12: [95%CI 2.05 – 5.35]) more likely to initiate sex earlier and ever had multiple sexual partners respectively than males. Watching pornographic video was significantly associated with early initiation of sex (AOR = 1.11: [95%CI 1.00 – 4.25]). Students from neglectful parents were 2.96 times more likely to initiate sex earlier than those with authoritative parents (AOR = 2.96: [95%CI: 1.91- 4.64]). Conclusion:Engaging in risk behaviors such as early initiation of sex and having multiple sexual partnerswere independently associated with sex, watching porno video, drinking alcohol, having friends who practice sex, drinking alcohol, and parenting styles. Therefore, college based, risk reduction and behavior change focused interventions are recommended.

description: Rotating domain wall based sensors that have recently been developed are based on a segmented looping geometry. In order to determine the crucial pinning of domain walls in this special geometry, we investigate the depinning under different angles of an applied magnetic field and obtain the angular dependence of the depinning field of the domain walls. Due to the geometry, the depinning field not only exhibits a 180$^\circ$-periodicity but a more complex dependence on the angle. The depinning field depends on two different angles associated with the initial state and the segmented geometry of the corner. We find that depending on the angle of the applied field two different switching processes occur and we can reproduce the angular dependence using a simple model calculation.

description: Charge carrier mobility is at the core of semiconductor materials and devices optimization, and Hall measurement is one of the most important techniques for its characterization. The Hall factor, defined as the ratio between Hall and drift mobilities, is of particular importance. Here we study the effect of anisotropy by computing the drift and Hall mobility tensors of a technologically important wide-band-gap semiconductor, 4H-silicon carbide (4H-SiC) from first principles. With $GW$ electronic structure and \textit{ab initio} electron-phonon interactions, we solve the Boltzmann transport equation without fitting parameters. The calculated electron and hole mobilities agree with experimental data. The electron Hall factor strongly depends on the direction of external magnetic field $\mathbf{B}$, and the hole Hall factor exhibits different temperature dependency for $\mathbf{B}\parallel c$ and $\mathbf{B}\perp c$. We explain this by the different equienergy surface shape arising from the anisotropic and non-parabolic band structure, together with the energy-dependent electron-phonon scattering.

Expanding plasmas from Anti de Sitter black holes

description: We introduce a new foliation of AdS$_5$ black holes such that the conformal boundary takes the form of a $4$-dimensional FLRW spacetime with scale factor $a(t)$. The foliation employs Eddington-Finkelstein-like coordinates and is applicable to a large class of AdS black holes, supported by matter fields or not, considerably extending previous efforts in the literature. We argue that the holographic dual picture of a CFT plasma on a FLRW background provides an interesting prototype to study the nonequilibrium dynamics of expanding plasmas and use holographic renormalization to extract the renormalized energy-momentum tensor of the dual plasma. We illustrate the procedure for three black holes of interest, namely AdS-Schwarzschild, AdS-Gauss-Bonnet, and AdS-Reissner-Nordström. For the latter, as a by-product, we show that the nonequilibrium dynamics of a CFT plasma subject to a quench in the chemical potential (i.e., a time-dependent chemical potential) resembles a cosmological evolution with the scale factor $a(t)$ being inversely related to the quench profile.

Dust ball physics and the Schwarzschild metric

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: A physics-first derivation of the Schwarzschild metric is given. Gravitation is described in terms of the effects of tidal forces (or of spacetime curvature) on the volume of a small ball of test particles (a dust ball), freely falling after all particles were at rest with respect to each other initially. The possibility to express Einstein's equation this way and some of its ramifications have been enjoyably discussed by Baez and Bunn [Am. J. Phys. 73, 644 (2005)]. Since the formulation avoids the use of tensors, neither advanced tensor calculus nor sophisticated differential geometry are needed in the calculation. The derivation is not lengthy and it has visual appeal, so it may be useful in teaching.

description: A universal $k^{-4}$ decay of the large-momentum tails of the momentum distribution, fixed by Tan's contact coefficients, constitutes a direct signature of strong correlations in a short-range interacting quantum gas. Here we consider a repulsive multicomponent Fermi gas under harmonic confinement, as in the experiment of Pagano et al. [Nat. Phys. {\bf 10}, 198 (2014)], realizing a gas with tunable $SU(κ)$ symmetry. We exploit an exact solution at infinite repulsion to show a direct correspondence between the value of the Tan's contact for each of the $κ$ components of the gas and the Young tableaux for the $S_N$ permutation symmetry group identifying the magnetic structure of the ground-state. This opens a route for the experimental determination of magnetic configurations in cold atomic gases, employing only standard (spin-resolved) time-of-flight techniques. Combining the exact result with matrix-product-states simulations, we obtain the Tan's contact at all values of repulsive interactions. We show that a local density approximation (LDA) on the Bethe-Ansatz equation of state for the homogeneous mixture is in excellent agreement with the results for the harmonically confined gas. At strong interactions, the LDA predicts a scaling behavior of the Tan's contact. This provides a useful analytical expression for the dependence on the number of fermions, number of components and on interaction strength. Moreover, using a virial approach in the limit of infinite interactions, we show that the contact increases with the temperature and the number of components. At zero temperature, we predict that the weight of the momentum distribution tails increases with interaction strength and the number of components if the population per component is kept constant. This latter property was experimentally observed in Ref.~[Nat. Phys. {\bf 10}, 198 (2014)].

title: Reconstructing Indian Monsoon Driven Productivity and Stratification Changes Across the Plio-Pleistocene
Creators: name: Gray, Emmeline

description: The Indian Summer Monsoon (ISM) brings seasonal winds and rains to the Indian subcontinent. The winds cause surface ocean mixing in the southern Bay of Bengal (BoB), bringing nutrients to the surface that fuel ocean productivity and export of carbon to the sea floor. To improve the understanding of the role of monsoon winds in low-latitude surface ocean productivity and carbon export, the Plio-Pleistocene interval is ideal because boundary conditions were evolving. This thesis uses a multiproxy approach to reconstruct variability in surface ocean and export productivity using coccolithophore species assemblage and bulk sediment composition, upper ocean stratification changes using planktic foraminifera geochemical proxies, and nutrient conditions using coccolithophore species assemblage across the late-Pliocene and early-Pleistocene in response to variability in ISM wind-driven mixing in the southern BoB. We present a new orbitally tuned stable oxygen isotope (δ18O) benthic foraminifera age-model and new orbital-resolution records of southern Bay of Bengal productivity (percentage F. profunda), terrigenous input (bulk sediment chemical composition using X-Ray Fluorescence core scan data), upper ocean Temperature (sea surface temperature, SST, using surface dwelling planktic species Globigerinoides ruber sensu stricto and subsurface temperature using planktic species Neogloboquadrina dutertrei) and Stratification (from coupled planktic foraminifera trace element and stable isotopes composition), and coccolithophore assemblage and morphological changes. We find that productivity records are dominated by obliquity frequencies, unlike during the Pleistocene and the late Miocene at the same site when it has been shown to be precession dominated. We suggest that a combination of insolation and longitudinal SST gradients, causing increased monsoon winds, and therefore wind driven mixing, bring nutrients to the surface. This study explains that the presence of obliquity signals in the productivity record at this low-latitude monsoon wind influenced site, which could be expected to be precession dominated, could be due to the supply of nutrients from the high latitudes to the low-latitudes during glacials. We find that SST and stratification do not show obliquity cycles and are instead driven by precession, supporting the suggestion of some non-monsoon (high latitude) forcing of productivity to give obliquity signals. We suggest that changes in coccolithophore morphology are caused by a combination of decreased nutrient availability and increased seasonality, caused by a strengthening winter monsoon after the intensification of northern hemisphere glaciation.

description: We investigate non-linear transport signatures stemming from linear and cubic spin-orbit interactions in one- and two-dimensional systems. The analytical zero-temperature response to external fields is complemented by finite temperature numerical analysis, establishing a way to distinguish between linear and cubic spin-orbit interactions. We also propose a protocol to determine the relevant material parameters from transport measurements attainable in realistic conditions, illustrated by values for Ge heterostructures. Our results establish a method for the fast benchmarking of spin-orbit properties in semiconductor nanostructures.

Utilization of Long Acting and Permanent Family Planning Methods Among Women of Reproductive Age Group in Debre Birhan Town, North Shewa Ethiopia
Creators: name: Asegidew, Wondwosen
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2014

description: Back ground: Contraceptive use including short and long acting and permanent methods are recorded to help families to space and limit their size to their economic capacity. Wider access and use of long-acting and permanent methods of contraception are the most effective contraceptives available to contribute to reduction of high levels of population growth and maternal mortality and morbidity. Yet, utilization of LAPMs in Ethiopian is recorded to be low. Objective: The purpose of this study is to describe utilization of long acting and permanent family planning methods and identify associated factors among women of 18-49 years age group in Debre Birhan Town, North Shewa Zone, Amhara Region. Methods: A community based cross sectional study supported with qualitative method was conducted in four selected Kebeles of Debre Birhan town. Systematic random sampling method was used to select study subjects for the survey while purposive sampling was used to select study subjects for qualitative study. A pre-tested structured questionnaire was used to collect quantitative data and interviewer topic guide was used for qualitative. The survey data was entered in to Epi, Info version 3.5.4 and exported, cleaned and analyzed using SPSS version 21. Open code version 3.6.2 was used to categorize and code qualitative data. Factors associated with utilization of LAPMs were identified using logistic regression model and content analysis of qualitative data. Results: Current utilization of LAPMs among women of reproductive age was found to be 27.3%. Those women, who are aware of LAPMs, have positive attitude about LAPMs and those who were satisfied with the service were found to be used LAPMs AOR=4.21, 95%CI 1.53-11.55, AOR=1.81, 95%CI 1.12-2.94 and AOR=1.86, 95%CI: 1.14-3.04 respectively. Myths and misconceptions about utilization of IUCD and implants were major barriers to the use of LAPMs. Conclusion: Awareness, positive attitude and satisfaction with LAPMs were factors promoting use of LAPMs, whereas myth and misconception in the community hinders the utilization of LAPMs. Therefore; sustained and appropriate information on LAPMs should be provided to raise awareness of women and the community. The Town health office should design educational programs that promote and reduce barriers to LAPMs at community level in the Town

description: Jets, from the protostellar to the AGN context, have been extensively studied but their connection to the turbulent dynamics of the underlying accretion disc is poorly understood. Following a similar approach to Lesur et al. (2013), we examine the role of the magnetorotational instability (MRI) in the production and acceleration of outflows from discs. Via a suite of one-dimensional shearing-box simulations of stratified discs we show that magneto-centrifugal winds exhibit cyclic activity with a period of 10-20 Omega^{-1}, a few times the orbital period. The cycle seems to be more vigorous for strong vertical field; it is robust to the variation of relevant parameters and independent of numerical details. The convergence of these solutions (in particular the mass loss rate) with vertical box size is also studied. By considering a sequence of magnetohydrostatic equilibria and their stability, the periodic activity may be understood as the succession of the following phases: (a) a dominant MRI channel mode, (b) strong magnetic field generation, (c) consequent wind launching, and ultimately (d) vertical expulsion of the excess magnetic field by the expanding and accelerating gas associated with the wind. We discuss potential connections between this behaviour and observed time-variability in disk-jet systems.

description: Hund's rule coupling ($\textit{J}$) has attracted much attention recently for its role in the description of the novel quantum phases of multi orbital materials. Depending on the orbital occupancy, $\textit{J}$ can lead to various intriguing phases. However, experimental confirmation of the orbital occupancy dependency has been difficult as controlling the orbital degrees of freedom normally accompanies chemical inhomogeneities. Here, we demonstrate a method to investigate the role of orbital occupancy in $\textit{J}$ related phenomena without inducing inhomogeneities. By growing SrRuO$_3$ monolayers on various substrates with symmetry-preserving interlayers, we gradually tune the crystal field splitting and thus the orbital degeneracy of the Ru $\textit{t$_2$$_g$}$ orbitals. It effectively varies the orbital occupancies of two-dimensional (2D) ruthenates. Via in-situ angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we observe a progressive metal-insulator transition (MIT). It is found that the MIT occurs with orbital differentiation: concurrent opening of a band insulating gap in the $\textit{d$_x$$_y$}$ band and a Mott gap in the $\textit{d$_x$$_z$$_/$$_y$$_z$}$ bands. Our study provides an effective experimental method for investigation of orbital-selective phenomena in multi-orbital materials.

description: We report on the benchmarks, participants and results of the third reactive synthesis competition(SYNTCOMP 2016). The benchmark library of SYNTCOMP 2016 has been extended to benchmarks in the new LTL-based temporal logic synthesis format (TLSF), and 2 new sets of benchmarks for the existing AIGER-based format for safety specifications. The participants of SYNTCOMP 2016 can be separated according to these two classes of specifications, and we give an overview of the 6 tools that entered the competition in the AIGER-based track, and the 3 participants that entered the TLSF-based track. We briefly describe the benchmark selection, evaluation scheme and the experimental setup of SYNTCOMP 2016. Finally, we present and analyze the results of our experimental evaluation, including a comparison to participants of previous competitions and a legacy tool.

description: The rigidity transition occurs when, as the density of microscopic components is increased, a disordered medium becomes able to transmit and ensure macroscopic mechanical stability, owing to the appearance of a space-spanning rigid connected component, or cluster. As a continuous phase transition it exhibits a scale invariant critical point, at which the rigid clusters are random fractals. We show, using numerical analysis, that these clusters are also conformally invariant, and we use conformal field theory to predict the form of universal finite size effects. Furthermore, although connectivity and rigidity percolation are usually though to belong to different universality classes and thus be of fundamentally different natures, we provide evidence of unexpected similarities between the statistical properties of their random clusters at criticality. Our work opens a new research avenue through the application of the powerful 2D conformal field theory tools to understand the critical behavior of a wide range of physical and biological materials exhibiting such a mechanical transition.

description: Recent Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations of the extragalactic radio source Centaurus A (Cen A) display a young stellar population around the southwest tip of the inner filament 8.5 kpc from the Cen A galactic center, with ages in the range of 1-3 Myr. Crockett et al. (2012) argue that the transverse bow shock of the Cen A jet triggered this star formation as it impacted dense molecular cores of clouds in the filament. To test this hypothesis, we perform three-dimensional numerical simulations of induced star formation by the jet bow shock in the inner filament of Cen A, using a positivity preserving WENO method to solve the equations of gas dynamics with radiative cooling. We find that star clusters form inside a bow-shocked molecular cloud when the maximum initial density of the cloud is > 40 H2 molecules/cm^3. In a typical molecular cloud of mass 10^6 M_sun and diameter 200 pc, approximately 20 star clusters of mass 10^4 M_sun are formed, matching the HST images.
