LIGHTS: A novel technique to characterize galaxy edges.  A closer look at NGC3486
Creators: name: GOLINI, GIULIA
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: For the first time, the LIGHTS survey is routinely imaging galaxies at a depth and spatial resolution comparable to what LSST will produce in 10 years (i.e. 31 mag/arcsec^2). This opens up the possibility of probing the edge of galaxies with a precision that we have been unable to achieve in the past. Traditionally, galaxy borders have been analyzed in one-dimension through ellipse averaging or visual inspection. Our approach allows for a two-dimensional exploration of galaxy edges, which is crucial for understanding deviations from disk symmetry and the environmental effects on galaxy growth.    In this paper, we propose a novel method using the second derivative of the surface mass density profile of a galaxy to determine its edges. Our technique incorporates Wiener deconvolution to effectively remove the effect of the Point Spread Function (PSF) by the galaxy itself. This offers a robust alternative to traditional edge-detection methods.   These techniques will be of paramount importance for future ultra-deep surveys such as LSST, Euclid and Roman, providing a new standard for precision in galactic edge detection.

description: Consumer perception issues and recent microbial outbreaks in the livestock industry continue to stifle demand for specialty meats in the United States. This study was designed to explore impacts of risk perception issues on consumer choice of bison meat. A stated preference discrete choice random utility model, a joint risk perception/product choice model, and a probability of frequency method to aggregating risk scenarios, were used for a range of food safety/certification regimes. Perceived risk reduces bison consumption, but its effect declines with shifts to more regulatory control inherent in the different certification regimes.

description: We present an analytic solution to diffusion equation for high energy cosmic rays in the expanding universe. The particles are assumed to be ultra-relativistic and they can have energy losses arbitrarily dependent on energy and time. The obtained solution generalizes the Syrovatsky solution, valid for the case when energy losses and diffusion coefficient are time-independent.

Biomechanics of the mammalian jaw
Creators: name: Zhang, Futang
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Mammalian jaw biomechanics are not fully understood. They can be studied by different approaches, including, but not limited to, jaw cross-sectional measurements, stress and strain analysis, and computer modeling. Five studies comprise this thesis: In the first study, three cross-sections were examined with high-resolution computed tomography (CT) in the human jaw. Although the cross-sectional areas varied among the three locations, the cross-sectional masses were homogeneous, suggesting uniform shear rigidity. Despite similarities in shape among the three cross-sections, cortical bone thickness and density varied, indicating regional loading conditions may be determinants in the cross-sectional design. The second study tested two hypotheses. The first postulated that symphyseal stress and strain are similar in pigs and humans. The second proposed that the symphyseal orientation in the pig jaw keeps the stress and strain level within a functional range. Individual muscle lever arms, cross-sectional moments of inertia, symphyseal centroids, and mean muscle tensions were considered in the pig and human jaws. The estimated stress and strain levels were markedly similar for pigs and humans with their symphyses in normal "functional" orientations. However, the estimated strain for the pig mandible was higher than the reported maximum functional strain when the symphysis was in a simulated "upright" orientation. In the following two studies, pig and human jaw mass properties were estimated from CT scans. The mass and geometric centers were close in both pig and human mandibles, and consistently located at the last molar region, suggesting imaging methods revealing 3D shape alone can be used to estimate mass properties. Jaw mass and moments of inertia could also be predicted by simple dimensional measurements of the jaw. Dynamic modeling of individual jaws is, therefore, possible. The sensitivity of mass properties in dynamic modeling was confirmed in a previously published dynamic human jaw model. In the final study, the respective mass properties were estimated by CT for each half of a pig jaw split into two halves, and rejoined with a rigid link. Dorsoventral shear, medial and lateral transverse bendings were predicted in the pig jaw symphysis during a unilateral chewing stroke. The prediction supported the hypothesis that the pig symphyseal orientation is essential to keep symphyseal stresses and strains within functional levels.

description: The evolution of grain structures in materials is a complex and multiscale process that determines the material's final properties. Understanding the dynamics of grain growth is a key factor for controlling this process. We propose a phenomenological approach, based on a nonlinear, discrete mass transfer equation for the evolution of an arbitrary initial grain size distribution. Transition rates for mass transfer across grains are assumed to follow the Arrhenius law, but the activation energy depends on the degree of amorphization of each grain. We argue that the magnitude of the activation energy controls the final (sintered) grain size distribution, and we verify this prediction by numerical simulation of mass transfer in a one-dimensional grain aggregate.

description: The lift-off characteristics of supersonic streamwise vortex in oblique shock-wave/jet interaction (OS/JI for short), extracted from a wall-mount ramp injector in scramjet, is studied through Large-eddy simulation method. Shocked helium jet is deformed into a pair of streamwise vortex with a co-rotating companion vortex showing the lift-off characteristic immediately after shock. Based on the objective coordinate system in frame of oblique shock structure, it is found that the nature of three-dimensional lift-off structure of a shockinduced streamwise vortex is inherently and precisely controlled by a two-stage growth mode of structure kinetics of a shock bubble interaction (SBI for short). The striking similar structures between OS/JI and SBI support the proposition that the lift-off of streamwise vortex is the result of a underlying two-dimensional vortical motion. By considering the first stage impulsive linear growth rate, an improved vortex propagation model suitable for SBI is proposed and validated. The lift-off phenomena of both numerical OS/JI case in this paper and wall-mounted ramp injector cases in literature are well explained under the two-stage structure kinetics model of SBI. This model further predicts that for higher free stream Mach number (M > 5), increasing ramp compression shows little effect on elevating streamwise vortex while evident lift-off may occur for lower Mach number (M < 3.5), which offers the new way for preliminary design of streamwise vortex-based ramp injector in scramjet.

We show that broad soliton beams can move across networks having different topologies almost without radiation losses, opening new prospects for all-optical soliton manipulation. We also discuss various switching scenarios for solitons launched into multi-core directional couplers optically-induced by suitable arrays of Bessel beams.

description: We report on detailed ac calorimetry measurements under high pressure and magnetic field of CeRhIn5. Under hydrostatic pressure the antiferromagnetic order vanishes near p_c*=2 GPa due to a first order transition. Superconductivity is found for pressures above 1.5 GPa inside the magnetic ordered phase. However, the superconductivity differ from the pure homogeneous superconducting ground state above 2 GPa. The application of an external magnetic field H || ab induces a transition inside the superconducting state above pc* which is strongly related to the re-entrance of the antiferromagnetism with field. This field-induced supplementary state vanishes above the quantum critical point in this system. The analogy to CeCoIn5 is discussed.

description: Social distancing and stay-at-home are among the few measures that are known to be effective in checking the spread of a pandemic such as COVID-19 in a given population. The patterns of dependency between such measures and their effects on disease incidence may vary dynamically and across different populations. We described a new computational framework to measure and compare the temporal relationships between human mobility and new cases of COVID-19 across more than 150 cities of the United States with relatively high incidence of the disease. We used a novel application of Optimal Transport for computing the distance between the normalized patterns induced by bivariate time series for each pair of cities. Thus, we identified 10 clusters of cities with similar temporal dependencies, and computed the Wasserstein barycenter to describe the overall dynamic pattern for each cluster. Finally, we used city-specific socioeconomic covariates to analyze the composition of each cluster.

description: The Unmanned Systems Research Laboratory (USRL) of the Cyprus Institute is a new mobile exploratory platform of the EU Research Infrastructure Aerosol, Clouds and Trace Gases Research InfraStructure (ACTRIS). USRL offers exclusive Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)-sensor solutions that can be deployed anywhere in Europe and beyond, e.g., during intensive field campaigns through a transnational access scheme in compliance with the drone regulation set by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) for the research, innovation, and training. UAV sensor systems play a growing role in the portfolio of Earth observation systems. They can provide cost-effective, spatial in-situ atmospheric observations which are complementary to stationary observation networks. They also have strong potential for calibrating and validating remote-sensing sensors and retrieval algorithms, mapping close-to-the-ground emission point sources and dispersion plumes, and evaluating the performance of atmospheric models. They can provide unique information relevant to the short- and long-range transport of gas and aerosol pollutants, radiative forcing, cloud properties, emission factors and a variety of atmospheric parameters. Since its establishment in 2015, USRL is participating in major international research projects dedicated to (1) the better understanding of aerosol-cloud interactions, (2) the profiling of aerosol optical properties in different atmospheric environments, (3) the vertical distribution of air pollutants in and above the planetary boundary layer, (4) the validation of Aeolus satellite dust products by utilizing novel UAV-balloon-sensor systems, and (5) the chemical characterization of ship and stack emissions. A comprehensive overview of the new UAV-sensor systems developed by USRL and their field deployments is presented here. This paper aims to illustrate the strong scientific potential of UAV-borne measurements in the atmospheric sciences and the need for their integration in Earth observation networks.
Secondary component of gravitational-wave signal GW190814 as an anisotropic neutron star

description: The gravitational-wave signal GW190814 involves a compact object with mass $(2.50-2.67){\rm M}_\odot$ within the so-called low mass gap. As yet, a general consensus on its nature, being a black hole, a neutron star or an exotic star, has not been achieved. We investigate the possibility this compact object to be an anisotropic neutron star. Anisotropies in a neutron star core arise naturally by effects such as superfluidity, hyperons, strong magnetic fields and allow the maximum mass to exceed that of the ideally isotropic stars. We consider the Krori-Barua ansatz to model an anisotropic core and constrain the equation of state with LIGO/Virgo observations GW170817 and GW190814. We find that the GW190814 secondary component can be an anisotropic neutron star compatible with LIGO/Virgo constraints if the radius attains a value in the range $(13.2-14.0)\,{\rm km}$ with the anisotropic core's boundary density in the range $(3.5-4.0)\cdot 10^{14}{\rm g}/{\rm cm}^3$.

description: In this article, we theoretically investigate the first- and second-order quantum dissipative phase transitions of a three-mode cavity with a Hubbard interaction. In both types, there is a mean-field limit cycle phase where the local U(1)symmetry and the time-translational symmetry (TTS) of the Liouvillian super-operator are spontaneously broken (SSB). This SSB manifests itself through the appearance of an unconditionally and fully squeezed state at the cavity output, connected to the well-known Goldstone mode. By employing the Wigner function formalism hence, properly including the quantum noise, we show that away from the thermodynamic limit and within the quantum regime, fluctuations notably limit the coherence time of the Goldstone mode due to the phase diffusion. Our theoretical predictions suggest that interacting multimode photonic systems are rich, versatile testbeds for investigating the crossovers between the mean-field picture and quantum phase transitions. A problem that can be investigated in various platforms including superconducting circuits, semiconductor microcavities, atomic Rydberg polaritons, and cuprite excitons.

description: Farm profitability varies widely among producers, but the reasons for those differences are not clear as it is generally not known if the same farms are in the higher profit categories every year. Characteristics of the individual producer also vary substantially. Farm size, crop yields, cost of production, debt structure, and land ownership are some of the traits which differ among farms. This study analyzed farm finance data from the North Dakota Farm and Ranch Business Management Program over the years 1996-2000 to determine if the characteristics of profitable farms were different from the characteristics of farms which were not as profitable. A secondary objective was to evaluate if farms remained in similar profit quartiles every year.

description: Agricultural firms that use Value at Risk (VaR) tend to be the large diversified corporations. The benefits of VaR in the agricultural industry are not limited to large conglomerates; however, and this study provides empirical examples of how mid to large sized commodity end-users can use VaR to quantify price risk exposure. By reporting price risk in terms of dollars as a single summary statistic, VaR provides a more intuitive measure of risk for decision makers, especially when the distribution of portfolio value changes is non-normal. VaR also separates downside from upside potential by focusing on the left-hand tail of a portfolio's distribution of returns. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate how VaR can be applied to the portfolio of a hypothetical U.S. bread baking company. Six of the bakery's prominent commodity inputs were considered, including flour, bakery shortening, and sugar. Mill feed price risk was also included since it is commonly a component of flour pricing agreements. In one case, a portfolio of costs and the risk of procurement cost changes are measured. In another case, output price risk was included and represented white pan bread prices as a price risk variable. This portfolio contains both cost and revenue items, and the risk of payoff changes resulting from input and output price changes is considered. In another case, the VaR for a Mexican flour milling company was modeled inclusive of the effect of foreign exchange risk. In each case, different hedging instruments were considered for use in various hedging strategies. Though VaR can be utilized by decision makers for numerous management aspects, in the cases analyzed in this study VaR estimates are used to quantify the price risk associated with different hedging strategies. While risk reduction is the primary reason for hedging, it is not the only aspect that management must consider. Numerous other aspects enter into the decision, which are not represented in the VaR statistic. Therefore, VaR is a valuable tool for measuring the risk exposure of these firms, but in no way does it tell the whole story.

description: Phantom cosmology allows to account for dynamics and matter content of the universe tracing back the evolution to the inflationary epoch, considering the transition to the non-phantom standard cosmology (radiation/matter dominated eras) and recovering the today observed dark energy epoch. We develop the unified phantom cosmology where the same scalar plays the role of early time (phantom) inflaton and late-time Dark Energy. The recent transition from decelerating to accelerating phase is described too by the same scalar field. The (dark) matter may be embedded in this scheme, giving the natural solution of the coincidence problem. It is explained how the proposed unified phantom cosmology can be fitted against the observations which opens the way to define all the important parameters of the model.

description: Scientific inquiry is increasing our knowledge of plant and animal genomics. The ability to specify heterogeneous production processes, to sort agricultural inputs by genotype, or to guide breeding programs to satisfy specific markets based on genetic expression may potentially increase producer and consumer benefits. This research develops a decision analysis framework to assess the expected value of genetic information. Expected returns are evaluated both in the presence of, and without, genetic trait information. Potential gains in the value of information can be quantified as research unravels the linkages between genetics and crop and animal performance and quality. An application to cattle feeding indicates potential gains to developing markets for specific animal genetic characteristics based on the amino acid sequence of the leptin gene.

description: The static and dynamic properties of the isotropic XY-model $(s=1/2)$ on the inhomogeneous periodic chain, composed of \emph{N} segments with \emph{n} different exchange interactions and magnetic moments, in a transverse field \emph{h} are obtained exactly at arbitrary temperatures. The properties are determined by introducing the generalized Jordan-Wigner transformation and by reducing the problem to a diagonalization of a finite matrix of \emph{n-th} order. The diagonalization procedure is discussed in detail and the critical behaviour induced by the transverse field, at T=0, is presented. The quantum transitions are determined by analyzing the behaviour of the induced magnetization, defined as $(1/n)\sum_{m=1}^{n}μ_{m}$ where $μ_{m}$ is the magnetic moment at site \emph{m} within the segment \emph{j}, as a function of the field, and the critical fields determined exactly. The dynamic correlations, $$, and the dynamic susceptibility $χ_{q}^{zz}(ω)$ are also obtained at arbitrary temperatures. Explicit results are also presented in the limit T=0, where the critical behaviour occurs, for the static susceptibility $χ_{q}^{zz}(0)$ as a function of the transverse field \emph{h}, and for the frequency dependency of dynamic susceptibility $χ_{q}^{zz}(ω)$. Also in this limit, the transverse time-correlation $$, the dynamic and isothermal susceptibilities, $χ_{q}^{xx}(ω)$ and $χ_{T}^{xx}$, are obtained for the transverse field greater or equal than the saturation field.

Major factors affecting exports of beef, pork, cattle, and hogs from Canada to the United States include the exchange rate, increased Canadian production, U.S.-Canada price differentials, and trade liberalization under the Canada - United States Free Trade Agreement (CUSTA) of 1989. Increased Canadian exports have resulted in small but significant reductions in U.S. domestic prices of beef, pork, and hogs.

description: The control design of an airborne wind energy system with rigid aircraft, vertical take-off and landing, and pumping operation is described. A hierarchical control structure is implemented, in order to address all operational phases: take-off, transition to power generation, pumping energy generation cycles, transition to hovering, and landing. Control design at all hierarchical levels is described. The design approach is conceived and developed with real-world applicability as main driver. Aircraft design considerations in light of system maneuverability are presented, too, as well as three possible alternative strategies for the retraction phase of the pumping cycle. The automatic control approach is assessed in simulation with a realistic model of the overall system, and the results yield a comparison among the three retraction strategies, clearly indicating the most efficient one. The presented results allow one to simulate the dynamical behavior of an AWE system in all operational phases, enabling further studies on all-round system automation, towards fully autonomous and reliable operation.

These include market acceptance and segregation, as well as the varying sources of cost savings and productivity gains. In this article, we develop a spatial partial equilibrium model of the higher-protein hard wheat market and assess the changes in the distribution of welfare associated with release and adoption of RRW. It incorporates segments for GM aversion in each market and segregation costs for each segment. Major conclusions indicate that in the most likely scenario, producer welfare increases by $301 million and consumer welfare increases by $252 million. Producers of hard red spring (HRS) wheat in the United States and Canada win, while hard red winter (HRW) wheat growers lose.

description: Coupling of external light signals into a photonic crystal waveguide becomes increasingly inefficient as the group velocity of the waveguiding mode slows down. We have systematically studied the efficiency of coupling in the slow light regime for samples with different truncations of the photonic lattice at the coupling interface. Inverse power law dependence is found to best fit the experimental scaling of the coupling loss on the group index. Coupling efficiency is found to be significantly improved up to group indices of 100 for a truncation of the lattice that favors the appearance of the photonic surface states at the coupling interface in resonance with the slow light mode.

description: Value-at-risk (VaR) is increasingly being applied to problems in agriculture, especially valuation of crop insurance and agricultural lending risk exposure. VaR conveys the probability that losses exceeding a threshold will likely occur within a specified timeframe. However, it does not provide the expected value of losses, should they happen. When determining risk exposure for budget analysis, this latter amount is of keen interest. Expected tail loss (ETL) methods are developed and compared with VaR.

From anomalous energy diffusion to Levy walks and heat conductivity in one-dimensional systems

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The evolution of infinitesimal, localized perturbations is investigated in a one-dimensional diatomic gas of hard-point particles (HPG) and thereby connected to energy diffusion. As a result, a Levy walk description, which was so far invoked to explain anomalous heat conductivity in the context of non-interacting particles is here shown to extend to the general case of truly many-body systems. Our approach does not only provide a firm evidence that energy diffusion is anomalous in the HPG, but proves definitely superior to direct methods for estimating the divergence rate of heat conductivity which turns out to be $0.333\pm 0.004$, in perfect agreement with the dynamical renormalization--group prediction (1/3).

Temperature dependent elastic constants and thermodynamic properties of BAs: an ab-initio investigation

Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present an ab-initio study of the temperature dependent elastic constants of BAs, a semiconductor that exhibits ultra-high thermal conductivity and is under investigation for thermal management in electronics. We test the consistency of our predictions by computing the temperature dependent sound velocity of the longitudinal acoustic mode along the $[111]$ direction and comparing with experiment. Furthermore, as a byproduct, we present the room temperature phonon dispersions, and the temperature dependent thermal expansion, isobaric heat capacity, and average Grüneisen parameter comparing with the most updated experiments and previous calculations when available. Finally, we present the theoretical estimate of the temperature dependent mean square atomic displacements.
Social crisis and the imaging of England’s history : representing medieval Norfolk in the early 19th century
Creators: name: Musto, Sylvia Synnove
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis examines a wide range of publications on medieval antiquities which emerged in Britain in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. These ranged from large and lavish scholarly publications to popular tourist guides tracing travellers' itineraries to famous British antiquities and sites. While at its broadest level this study assesses how the visual and textual representations of medieval monuments and ruins gave form to the nation's history, its particular concern is to explore how regional and local conflicts and their relations to larger national issues intersected with and were negotiated through representations of the medieval past. A particular region of Britain, the county of Norfolk and its capital city Norwich, provides a focus for this analysis. Norfolk as a region usefully exemplifies many of the contentious issues at stake in the early decades of the century—issues that were repeatedly evoked in the ongoing debates concerning both the nation's past and its present. It is part of the argument of this thesis that many of the tensions variously articulated in the descriptions and illustrations of Norfolk's medieval past emerged from the conflicts between modern social upheavals and political and economic contestations, and the current fascination with the nation's medieval history. These tensions concerned 'racial' and political associations relating to Britain's Saxon and Norman past. They also involved modern conflicts concerning the urban public sphere, changing relationships between country and city, disputed questions of land-ownership and social allegiances, and religious controversies involving the Established Church and Catholic and Protestant Dissent. Such issues had an important bearing on the ways in which medieval architectural monuments and ruins were visually represented to the reading and viewing publics. As this study shows, representations of medieval antiquities of Norfolk and Norwich in antiquarian and travel publications, as well as in artistic works like those of Norfolk artist John Sell Cotman, constituted important sites--ones where contemporary conflicts and debates were rendered visible, and where changing and shifting social relationships were continually and variously played out and negotiated.

description: There is a growing interest and a perceived demand for hard white (HW) wheat to satisfy the needs of the growing Asian noodle market which is currently dominated by Australia. The wheat industry is reviewed with attention to U.S. and Australian production and international markets for white wheat. Quality issues and target markets/market development are discussed. Economic issues associated with production of HW wheat in hard red spring (HRS) wheat producing areas, primarily North Dakota, are explored with emphasis on agronomic issues, segregation and handling costs, yield factors, and price premiums. At present, the development of HW wheat in North Dakota must focus on yield improvements and the development of a robust HW wheat adaptable to climatic conditions in the state to reduce the risks of switching to HW wheat as an alternative crop.

description: With regard to agri-environmental schemes (AES) under Regulation (EC) 1257/99, we suggest that their ineffectiveness, inefficiency, and divers uptake is inherent to the way they are institutionalised in the European CAP framework. Based on experiences of the GRANO research project that initiated two Agri-Environmental Forums in Brandenburg (Germany) to integrate local actors directly into designing and implementing local AES we argue that the process of designing AES can be conceptualised as a complex negotiation process at Laender level. The related institutional settings shape possible outcomes and scheme designs. With only "passive support" for decentralised and participatory approaches yet compulsory complex bureaucratic procedures on part of the EU, there are no incentives for Laender administrations to actively support those approaches.
