description: We present a range of steady-state photoionization simulations, corresponding to different assumed shell geometries and compositions, of the unseen postulated rapidly expanding outer shell to the Crab Nebula. The properties of the shell are constrained by the mass that must lie within it, and by limits to the intensities of hydrogen recombination lines. In all cases the photoionization models predict very strong emission from high ionization lines that will not be emitted by the Crab's filaments, alleviating problems with detecting these lines in the presence of light scattered from brighter parts of the Crab. The NIR [Ne VI] $λ$7.652 $μ$m line is a particularly good case; it should be dramatically brighter than the optical lines commonly used in searches. The C IV $\lambda1549Å$ doublet is predicted to be the strongest absorption line from the shell, which is in agreement with HST observations. We show that the cooling timescale for the outer shell is much longer than the age of the Crab, due to the low density. This means that the temperature of the shell will actually "remember" its initial conditions. However, the recombination time is much shorter than the age of the Crab, so the predicted level of ionization should approximate the real ionization. In any case, it is clear that IR observations present the best opportunity to detect the outer shell and so guide future models that will constrain early events in the original explosion.

description: Η δημιουργία στα πλαίσια της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης μιας μεγάλης εσωτερικής αγοράς, χωρίς σύνορα παρέχει την ευκαιρία σε εγκληματίες να τελούν άνετα στο έδαφος πολλών κρατών μελών σειρά εγκλημάτων που θίγουν πολλές φορές τα συμφέροντα της ίδιας της Ένωσης. Η συγκεκριμένη διπλωματική εργασία ασχολείται με το φαινόμενο της νομιμοποίησης εσόδων από εγκληματικές δραστηριότητες υπό το πρίσμα του Ευρωπαϊκού θεσμικού πλαισίου αλλά και σε σχέση με τις εξελίξεις σε Ευρωπαϊκό και Διεθνές επίπεδο. Παρουσιάζεται το νομικό οπλοστάσιο με το οποίο εξοπλίστηκε πρώτα η Ένωση διαχρονικά σε συνδυασμό με το μόνο αρμόδιο όργανο ως προς την ερμηνεία του Ευρωπαϊκού Δικαίου, το ΔΕΕ (πρώην ΔΕΚ). Αναλύεται η σχετική δράση που αναλήφθηκε στα πλαίσια του ΟΗΕ και του Συμβουλίου της Ευρώπης αλλά και του διεθνούς φορέα FATF, ο οποίος διαδραμάτισε πρωταρχικό ρόλο στην αναγωγή και καθιέρωση της νομιμοποίησης παράνομου χρήματος ως διεθνούς εγκληματικού φαινομένου, ενώ σήμερα πρωταγωνιστεί ως προς τη θέση κατευθυντήριων γραμμών για το Διεθνές ρυθμιστικό πλαίσιο. Αναφέρεται η συμβολή του ΟΟΣΑ στο ζήτημα, δεδομένου ότι αποτελεί διαχρονικά εκείνο το forum στο πλαίσιο του οποίου εκπρόσωποι των κυβερνήσεων συζητούν και εξετάζουν τις πολιτικές και τα σχέδια για τη βελτίωση της κοινωνικοοικονομικής ευημερίας των πολιτών του κόσμου στα πλαίσια της ελεύθερης αγοράς. Παρουσιάζονται λεπτομερώς τα δικαιώματα που πρέπει να τηρούνται στις σχετικές υποθέσεις διοικητικής και ποινικής φύσεως με ανάλυση της νομολογίας του ΔΕΕ και του ΕΔΔΑ
description: The creation within the European Union of a large, borderless internal market provides the opportunity for criminals to commit a series of crimes, often against the interests of the Union itself, in the territory of several Member States. This thesis deals with the phenomenon of money laundering in the light of the European institutional framework and in relation to developments at European and international level. It presents the legal arsenal with which the Union was first equipped over time in conjunction with the only competent body as regards the interpretation of the European Convention, the CJEU (formerly the ECJ). It analyses the relevant action taken within the UN and the Council of Europe and the international body FATF, which has played a key role in reducing and establishing money laundering as an international criminal phenomenon, and is currently playing a leading role in providing guidelines for the international regulatory framework. The contribution of the OECD to the issue is mentioned, as it is the long-standing forum in which representatives of governments discuss and examine policies and plans to improve the socio-economic well-being of the world's citizens in the context of the free market. It details the rights that must be respected in relevant administrative and criminal cases, with an analysis of the case law of the CJEU and the ECtHR

description: Using exact results obtained from localization on S^4, we explore the large N limit of N=2 super-Yang-Mills theories with massive matter multiplets. We focus on three cases: N=2* theory, describing a massive hypermultiplet in the adjoint representation, SU(N) super-Yang-Mills with 2N massive hypermultiplets in the fundamental, and super-QCD with massive quarks. When the radius of the four-sphere is sent to infinity the theories at hand are described by solvable matrix models, which exhibit a number of interesting phenomena including quantum phase transitions at finite 't Hooft coupling.

description: Uterine cervical cancer is a leading health problem among women. Majority (70%) cases are confined in Sub Saharan Africa (SSA), mainly associated with Human Papiloma Virus (HPV) of genotypes 16 and 18. Generally 85% of uterine cervical cancers are squamous cell cancers while, rest are adenocarcinomas. In Kenya majority of affected women never recognize this cancer for many years because of its silent clinical presentation. While in Developed countries the cancer is detected early due to accessible sustainable screening programs. Prolonged limited access to affordable and quality differential diagnosis, HPV antigen tests, and persistence low coverage screening programs in (SSA) have led to high levels of morbidities and mortalities associated with uterine cervix cancer which has impacted negatively on social economic and health Development in (SSA). It was these reasons that led to determine prevalence of uterine cervix cancer, a major challenge on health goal, using Pap stains in Kenyatta National Hospital, (KNH). In cross-sectional, 400 respondents were used in saturated sampling. Data was collected and analyzed from Pap slides and mounted in DPX mountant before microscopic differential report concluded. Results, 48% of women seeking healthcare in (KNH) were infected with HPV genotype 16 and 18 that cause cancer of cervix, Nevertheless prevalence of other related health risks in uterine and cervix fluctuate gradually. Women cohabiting HPV gene 16 and 18, have greater risk to develop cancer of cervix than to women with physically warts on vulva, with OD (4.9, 0.02) 95% CI (1.5, 0.3).

description: It has recently been shown that domain walls in ferromagnets can be moved in the presence of thermal gradients. In this work we study the motion of narrow domain walls in low-dimensional systems when subjected to thermal gradients. The system chosen is a monolayer of Fe on W(1 1 0) which is known to exhibit a large anisotropy while having a soft exchange, resulting in a very narrow domain wall. The study is performed by means of atomistic spin dynamics simulations coupled to first-principles calculations. By subjecting the systems to a thermal gradient we observe a temperature dependent movement of the domain wall as well as changes of the spatial magnetization profile of the system. The thermal gradient always makes the domain wall move towards the hotter region of the sample with a velocity proportional to the gradient. The material specific study is complemented by model simulations to discern the interplay between the thermal gradient, magnetic anisotropy and the exchange interaction, and shows that the larger DW velocities are found for materials with low magnetic anisotropy. The relatively slow DW motion of the Fe/W(1 1 0) system is hence primarily caused by its large magnetic anisotropy.

description: In metallic glasses a clear correlation had been established between plasticity or ductility with the Poisson ratio and alternatively the ratio of the elastic bulk modulus to the shear modulus, K/G. Such a correlation between these two macroscopic mechanical properties is intriguing and is challenging to explain from the dynamics on a microscopic level. Such a microscopic explanation is provided in this paper.

description: We consider the problem of characterizing isomorphisms of types, or, equivalently, constructive cardinality of sets, in the simultaneous presence of disjoint unions, Cartesian products, and exponentials. Mostly relying on results about polynomials with exponentiation that have not been used in our context, we derive: that the usual finite axiomatization known as High-School Identities (HSI) is complete for a significant subclass of types; that it is decidable for that subclass when two types are isomorphic; that, for the whole of the set of types, a recursive extension of the axioms of HSI exists that is complete; and that, for the whole of the set of types, the question as to whether two types are isomorphic is decidable when base types are to be interpreted as finite sets. We also point out certain related open problems.

description: We present high spatial resolution CO(1-0) mapping of the luminous infrared galaxy NGC6240 obtained with the IRAM - Plateau de Bure Interferometer. This source is a well-known early-stage merging system hosting two AGN. We find a broad CO(1-0) line profile, with maximum velocity 800 km/s and FWZI=1400 km/s, and displaying several kinematic components, revealing the complexity of the gas dynamics in this system. We detect a blueshifted CO emission with velocity in the range -200 and -500 km/s, peaked around the southern AGN, at the same position where the H2 outflow is located, and with a mass loss rate of ~500 Msun/yr. We interpret this blueshifted component as a outflow, originating from the southern nucleus. The spatial and spectral match strongly suggests that the CO outflow is connected to the H2 superwind located around the southern nucleus, and to the large scale CO outflow, with similar velocities, extended on scales of 10 kpc. The large mass loading factor (dM/dt /SFR ~ 10) of the molecular gas suggests that the outflow is likely driven by both SNa winds and the radiation of the southern AGN. We discovered a nuclear, redshifted CO emission peaking in the mid point of the two nuclei, as it is the case for the CO emission at the systemic velocity. The large velocity dispersion, which reaches its maximum (~500 Km/s) in the mid point between the two nuclei, suggests that the gas might be highly turbulent in this region, although the presence of an unresolved rotation component cannot be ruled out.

Implications of Resonant Inelastic X-ray Scattering Data for Theoretical Models of Cuprates

description: There are two commonly discussed points of view in theoretical description of cuprate superconductors, (i) Cuprates can be described by the modified t-J model. (ii) Overdoped cuprates are close to the regime of normal Fermi liquid (NFL). We argue that recent resonant inelastic X-ray scattering data challenge both points. While the modified t-J model describes well the strongly underdoped regime, it fails to describe high energy magnetic excitations when approaching optimal doping. This probably indicates failure of the Zhang-Rice singlet picture. In the overdoped regime the momentum-integrated spin structure factor S(ω) has the same intensity and energy distribution as that in an undoped parent compound. This implies that the entire spin spectral sum rule is saturated at ω~ 2J, while in a NFL the spectral weight should saturate only at the total bandwidth which is much larger than 2J.

description: We develop an analytic approach for the study of the quench dynamics of the anisotropic Heisenberg model (XXZ model) on the infinite line. We present the exact time-dependent wavefunctions after a quench in an integral form for any initial state and for any anisotropy $Δ$ by means of a generalized Yudson contour representation. We calculate the evolution of several observables from two particular initial states: starting with a local Nèel state we calculate the time evolution of the antiferromagnetic order parameter--staggered magnetization; starting with a state with consecutive flipped spins we calculate the propagation of magnons and bound state excitations, and the induced spin currents. We also show how the "string" solution of Bethe Ansatz equations emerge naturally from the contour approach. We confront our results with experiments and numerical methods where possible.

description: We investigate metric independent, gauge invariant and closed forms in the generalized YM theory. These forms are polynomial on the corresponding fields strength tensors - curvature forms and are analogous to the Pontryagin-Chern densities in the YM gauge theory. The corresponding secondary characteristic classes have been expressed in integral form in analogy with the Chern-Simons form. Because they are not unique, the secondary forms can be dramatically simplified by the addition of properly chosen differentials of one-step-lower-order forms. Their gauge variation can also be found yielding the potential anomalies in the gauge field theory.

title: The importance of love within the care system : love should be a right

description: I wrote this piece in the hopes to open a conversation about the impact of love within the care system. As a care experienced person, it often baffles me that we still cannot openly speak about love within the care system. It is the one thing that all children need to thrive yet when they are placed within care, the system is not required to love them, it is not a right and therefore many go without feeling loved when they are in the system. In this piece I have written about my experience of growing up for half my life within the care system and the isolating effect it had on me when I never felt loved, nor was given the chance to feel and understand what real, unconditional love was. I have also highlighted the impact love had on me when aged 17 I felt loved by an adult for the first time in my life in the hopes to highlight the importance love has on ensuring Scotland’s care experienced young people are given the best chance at life.
One-zone SSC model for the core emission of Centaurus A revisited

description: Aims: We investigate the role of the second synchrotron self-Compton (SSC) photon generation to the multiwavelength emission from the compact regions of sources that are characterized as misaligned blazars. For this, we focus on the nearest high-energy emitting radio galaxy Centaurus A and we revisit the one-zone SSC model for its core emission. Methods: We have calculated analytically the peak luminosities of the first and second SSC components by, first, deriving the steady-state electron distribution in the presence of synchrotron and SSC cooling and, then, by using appropriate expressions for the positions of the spectral peaks. We have also tested our analytical results against those derived from a numerical code where the full emissivities and cross-sections were used. Results: We show that the one-zone SSC model cannot account for the core emission of Centaurus A above a few GeV, where the peak of the second SSC component appears. We, thus, propose an alternative explanation for the origin of the high energy ($\gtrsim 0.4$ GeV) and TeV emission, where these are attributed to the radiation emitted by a relativistic proton component through photohadronic interactions with the photons produced by the primary leptonic component. We show that the required proton luminosities are not extremely high, e.g. $\sim 10^{43}$ erg/s, provided that the injection spectra are modelled by a power-law with a high value of the lower energy cutoff. Finally, we find that the contribution of the core emitting region of Cen A to the observed neutrino and ultra-high energy cosmic-ray fluxes is negligible.

description: We consider compact binary systems in f(R) gravity theories in the Palatini approach and calculate the post-Newtonian parameters to the 1.5PN order using the method of Direct Integration of the Relaxed Einstein equations (DIRE). The Palatini-type modifications of gravity can be formulated as Einsteins gravity with modified response to matter sources, and it is shown in detail how to treat these correctly within the DIRE formalism. Our results explicitly confirm the expectation that for binary black holes the new effects can be absorbed into redefinitions of the binary masses, rendering such systems observationally identical to general relativity.

description: This master thesis examines the context in which the balance of power in the Eastern Mediterranean is shaped from 2010 to 2021, with a special focus on the energy sector. In particular, the thesis explores the changes brought in the geopolitical map of the region by the Arab Spring in order to investigate whether the Arab uprisings were a phenomenon strictly related to the Eastern Mediterranean. Furthermore, the thesis outlines the energy needs of the states of the region (Libya, Egypt, Israel, Cyprus, Turkey, Greece), as well as how the discoveries of the offshore gas and oil fields reshaped the strategic planning of the countries of the Eastern Mediterranean and the West. Finally, the present thesis aims to present the geopolitical context and the rivalries it nurtures, in order to clearly depict the strategic plans that guide the exercise of energy geopolitics in the Eastern Mediterranean in the second decade of the 21st century.

description: In bacteria, regulatory proteins search for a specific DNA binding target via "facilitated diffusion": a series of rounds of 3D diffusion in the cytoplasm, and 1D linear diffusion along the DNA contour. Using large scale Brownian dynamics simulations we find that each of these steps is affected differently by crowding proteins, which can either be bound to the DNA acting as a road block to the 1D diffusion, or freely diffusing in the cytoplasm. Macromolecular crowding can strongly affect mechanistic features such as the balance between 3D and 1D diffusion, but leads to surprising robustness of the total search time.

description: We have extended our study of the competition between the drive and stabilization of plasma microinstabilities by sheared flow to include electromagnetic effects at low plasma $β$ (the ratio of plasma to magnetic pressure). The extended system of characteristic equations is formulated, for a dissipative fluid model developed from the gyrokinetic equation, using a twisting mode representation in sheared slab geometry and focusing on the ion temperature gradient mode. Perpendicular flow shear convects perturbations along the field at the speed we denote as $Mc_s$ (where $c_s$ is the sound speed). $M > 1/ \sqrtβ$ is required to make the system characteristics unidirectional and inhibit eigenmode formation, leaving only transitory perturbations in the system. This typically represents a much larger flow shear than in the electrostatic case, which only needs $M>1$. Numerical investigation of the region $M < 1/\sqrtβ$ shows the driving terms can conflict, as in the electrostatic case, giving low growth rates over a range of parameters. Also, at modest drive strengths and low $β$ values typical of experiments, including electromagnetic effects does not significantly alter the growth rates. For stronger flow shear and higher $β$, geometry characteristic of the spherical tokamak mitigates the effect of an instability of the shear Alfvén wave, driven by the parallel flow shear.

title: Book reviews : Charlesworth, J. (2015). That's So Gay: Challenging Homophobic Bullying, Jessica Kingsley Publishers, ISBN 978-1-84905
Creators: name: Brewster, Linda
Publisher: name: Strathprints - University of Strathclyde

description: With the number of homophobic prejudice based crimes (hate crimes) recorded by police in Britain increasing each year, Jonathan Charlesworth's book, That's So Gay: Challenging Homophobic Bullying, provides anyone involved in education or children's services with a practical, and thought provoking guide to challenge homophobic bullying. Charlesworth indicates that 'gay', as used in the context of the book, emerged as an acronym for 'Good As You' in the human rights movement of the 60's and 70's. He goes on to propose that homophobia will only end if society catches up with established legislation, through the normalisation of gay relationships. His work shows us how to educate pupils from a young age to understand the impact of their behaviour on individuals, but also in terms of rights, respect, equality and justice.

description: M giants are among the longest-period pulsating stars which is why their studies were traditionally restricted to analyses of low-precision visual observations, and more recently, accurate ground-based data. Here we present an overview of M giant variability on a wide range of time-scales (hours to years), based on analysis of thirteen quarters of Kepler long-cadence observations (one point per every 29.4 minutes), with a total time-span of over 1000 days. About two-thirds of the sample stars have been selected from the ASAS-North survey of the Kepler field, with the rest supplemented from a randomly chosen M giant control sample. We first describe the correction of the light curves from different quarters, which was found to be essential. We use Fourier analysis to calculate multiple frequencies for all stars in the sample. Over 50 stars show a relatively strong signal with a period equal to the Kepler-year and a characteristic phase dependence across the whole field-of-view. We interpret this as a so far unidentified systematic effect in the Kepler data. We discuss the presence of regular patterns in the distribution of multiple periodicities and amplitudes. In the period-amplitude plane we find that it is possible to distinguish between solar-like oscillations and larger amplitude pulsations which are characteristic for Mira/SR stars. This may indicate the region of the transition between two types of oscillations as we move upward along the giant branch.

description: The integration of lexical semantics and pragmatics in the analysis of the meaning of natural lan- guage has prompted changes to the global framework derived from Montague. In those works, the original lexicon, in which words were assigned an atomic type of a single-sorted logic, has been re- placed by a set of many-facetted lexical items that can compose their meaning with salient contextual properties using a rich typing system as a guide. Having related our proposal for such an expanded framework \LambdaTYn, we present some recent advances in the logical formalisms associated, including constraints on lexical transformations and polymorphic quantifiers, and ongoing discussions and research on the granularity of the type system and the limits of transitivity.

description: Many real world complex systems such as infrastructure, communication and transportation networks are embedded in space, where entities of one system may depend on entities of other systems. These systems are subject to geographically localized failures due to malicious attacks or natural disasters. Here we study the resilience of a system composed of two interdependent spatially embedded networks to localized geographical attacks. We find that if an attack is larger than a finite (zero fraction of the system) critical size, it will spread through the entire system and lead to its complete collapse. If the attack is below the critical size, it will remain localized. In contrast, under random attack a finite fraction of the system needs to be removed to initiate system collapse. We present both numerical simulations and a theoretical approach to analyze and predict the effect of local attacks and the critical attack size. Our results demonstrate the high risk of local attacks on interdependent spatially embedded infrastructures and can be useful for designing more resilient systems.
Horizontal flow fields observed in Hinode G-band images IV. Statistical properties of the dynamical environment around pores

Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The extensive database of high-resolution G-band images observed with the Hinode/SOT is a unique resource to derive statistical properties of pores using advanced digital image processing techniques. The study is based on two data sets: (1) Photometric and morphological properties inferred from single G-band images cover almost seven years from 2006 October 25 to 2013 August 31. (2) Horizontal flow fields have been derived from 356 one-hour sequences of G-band images using LCT for a shorter period of time from 2006 November 3 to 2008 January 6 comprising 13 active regions. A total of 7643/2863 (single/time-averaged) pores builds the foundation of the statistical analysis. Pores are preferentially observed at low latitudes in the southern hemisphere during the deep minimum of solar cycle No. 23. This imbalance reverses during the rise of cycle No. 24, when the pores migrate from high to low latitudes. Pores are rarely encountered in quiet-Sun G-band images, and only about 10% of pores exists in isolation. In general, pores do not exhibit a circular shape. Typical aspect ratios of the semi-major and -minor axes are 3:2 when ellipses are fitted to pores. Smaller pores (more than two-thirds are smaller than 5~Mm^2) tend to be more circular, and their boundaries are less corrugated. Both area and perimeter length of pores obey log-normal frequency distributions. The frequency distribution of the intensity can be reproduced by two Gaussians representing dark and bright components. Bright features resembling umbral dots and even light-bridges cover about 20% of the pore's area. Averaged radial profiles show a peak of the intensity at normalized radius R_N = r /R_pore = 2.1, followed by maxima of the divergence at R_N= 2.3 and the radial component of the horizontal velocity at R_N= 4.6. The divergence is negative within pores.

description: We fix a field $\kk$ of characteristic $p$. For a finite group $G$ denote by $δ(G)$ and $σ(G)$ respectively the minimal number $d$, such that for any finite dimensional representation $V$ of $G$ over $\kk$ and any $v\in V^{G}\setminus\{0\}$ or $v\in V\setminus\{0\}$ respectively, there exists a homogeneous invariant $f\in\kk[V]^{G}$ of positive degree at most $d$ such that $f(v)\ne 0$. Let $P$ be a Sylow-$p$-subgroup of $G$ (which we take to be trivial if the group order is not divisble by $p$). We show that $δ(G)=|P|$. If $N_{G}(P)/P$ is cyclic, we show $σ(G)\ge|N_{G}(P)|$. If $G$ is $p$-nilpotent and $P$ is not normal in $G$, we show $σ(G)\le \frac{|G|}{l}$, where $l$ is the smallest prime divisor of $|G|$. These results extend known results in the non-modular case to the modular case.

description: Global societal material stock in buildings and infrastructure have accumulated rapidly within the last decades, along with population growth. Recently, an approach for nation-wide mapping of material stock at 10 m spatial resolution, using freely available and globally consistent Earth Observation (EO) imagery, has been introduced as an alternative to cost-intensive cadastral data or broad-scale but thematically limited nighttime light-based mapping. This study assessed the potential of EO data archives to create spatially explicit time series data of material stock dynamics and their relation to population in Germany, at a spatial resolution of 30 m. We used Landsat imagery with a change-aftereffect-trend analysis to derive yearly masks of land surface change from 1985 onward. Those served as an input to an annual reverse calculation of six material stock types and building volume-based annual gridded population, based on maps for 2018. Material stocks and population in Germany grew by 13% and 4%, respectively, showing highly variable spatial patterns. We found a minimum building stock of ca. 180 t/cap across all municipalities and growth processes characterized by sprawl. A rapid growth of stocks per capita occurred in East Germany after the reunification in 1990, with increased building activity but population decline. Possible over- or underestimations of stock growth cannot be ruled out due to methodological assumptions, requiring further research.
