Privacy and conflicting identities in the context of Punjabi Canadians

description: Many of us have experienced the need to filter the information we share with the world. There is a dearth of research in the field of privacy in the context of non-WEIRD populations and immigrants living in WEIRD (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic) societies. In this thesis, I explore how Punjabi Canadian adults navigate the potential conflicts between their two cultural identities and how this affects their digital privacy decisions. I identify the social and cultural factors that influence the privacy choices of Punjabi Canadians, and how these individuals react to the resulting social sanctions. These sanctions may limit their freedom and their right to privacy both in physical and virtual settings. I conducted 12 interviews with Punjabi Canadians and used constructivist grounded theory to elicit themes related to the “What,” “Why,” and “How” of their privacy choices and behaviours. I found that the collectivist nature of the Punjabi culture is reflected in their privacy regulation practices, which involve the family as well as the individual. There was an asymmetry of information flow between the Punjabi and Canadian sides of an individual’s social circle. This was highlighted by the norm of physical and social gender segregation among Punjabi Canadians, where the Punjabi side was more often kept in the dark about activities that involved gender mixing. I also found that women participants were especially fluent in privacy-preserving practices, which may be due to their being held to a higher standard than men, facing greater surveillance, and having more familial responsibilities and restrictions on their clothing and mobility. The Punjabi culture represents a significant portion of South Asian culture while the Canadian culture represents North American culture. Hence, the findings of this study are relevant to immigrants in North America, especially from South Asia. Apart from immigrants, they are also transferable to other populations experiencing conflicting identities.

description:
Slab detachment is a process that has been invoked to explain rapid uplift, deep seismicity, and magmatic activity in several active orogens (e.g., Alps, Himalaya). However, it is not yet clear to which extent slab detachment is the primary cause of these phenomena. Thus, deciphering the physical processes controlling the slab break-off is important to understand its impact on the post-collisional evolution of orogens.

Here, we employ numerical models to investigate the nonlinear coupling between mantle flow and slab detachment. Due to the three-dimensional nature of slab detachment and the variety of involved processes, it is daunting to pinpoint the first order controls on the time scale of this process. We, therefore, started to investigate this issue by developing a 0D necking model that describes the temporal evolution of the thickness of a detaching slab. We accounted for the effects of the nonlinear coupling between upper mantle and detaching slab and derived a set of nondimensional numbers that control the slab detachment process.

Based on these findings, we, then, used 2D and 3D numerical models to further determine higher dimensional geometrical effects on slab detachment. Results show that the predictions from the 0D experiments predict simple 2D and 3D experiments sufficiently well. For more complex slab geometries, higher dimensional results deviate from the 0D predictions. Nevertheless, the combination of 0D and 2D/3D numerical models allows to determine first order controls on slab detachment and thus also on specific geological observations such as seismicity and surface response.

description:
The Himalaya is the highest and steepest mountain range on Earth and forms today efficient north-south barrier for moisture-bearing winds. 1D-thermokinematic modeling of new zircon (U-Th)/He bedrock-cooling ages and >100 previously published mica 40Ar/39Ar, zircon and apatite fission track ages from the Sutlej Valley document a consistent rapid decrease in exhumation rates that initiated at ~17-15 Ma across the entire Greater and Tethyan Himalaya and the north-Himalayan Leo Pargil dome. We observe a rapid decrease from >1 km/Myr to <0.5 km/Myr. We explain the middle Miocene deceleration of exhumation with major tectonic reorganization of the Himalayan orogen, probably coincident with the onset of basal accretion, which resulted in accelerated uplift of the Greater and Tethyan Himalaya. The period of slow exhumation in the upper Sutlej Valley coincides with a period of internal drainage in the south-Tibetan Zada Basin farther upstream, which we interpret to be a consequence of tectonic damming. Comparison with other data from the Himalaya and Southern Tibet along strike suggests that by ~15 Ma, southern Tibet was high, located in the rain shadow of the High Himalaya and eroding slowly for at least 10 Ma, before erosion accelerated again by ~5-3 Ma, most likely due to climatic changes. Our new finding document that the location of tectonic deformation processes controls the first order spatial pattern of both climatic zones and erosion across the orogen. Therefore, we think that the rise of Greater Himalaya is linked to the deceleration of exhumation in Southern Tibet.

description: The reconstruction of tools and artworks belonging to the origins of music computing unveils the dynamics of distributed knowledge underlying some of the major breakthroughs that took place during the analogue-digital transition of the 1950s and 1960s. We document the implementation of two musical replicas, the Computer Suite for Little Boy and For Ann (Rising). Our archaeological ubiquitous-music methods yield fresh insights on both convergences and contradictions implicit in the creation of cutting-edge technologies, pointing to design qualities such as terseness and ambiguity. Through new renditions of historically significant artefacts, enabled by the recovery of artistic first-hand sources and of one of the early computer music environments, MUSIC V, we explore the emergence of exploratory simulations of new musical worlds.

description: The problem of the helix-coil transition of biopolymers in explicit solvents, like water, with the ability for hydrogen bonding with solvent is addressed analytically using a suitably modified version of the Generalized Model of Polypeptide Chains. Besides the regular helix-coil transition, an additional coil-helix or reentrant transition is also found at lower temperatures. The reentrant transition arises due to competition between polymer-polymer and polymer-water hydrogen bonds. The balance between the two types of hydrogen bonding can be shifted to either direction through changes not only in temperature, but also by pressure, mechanical force, osmotic stress or other external influences. Both polypeptides and polynucleotides are considered within a unified formalism. Our approach provides an explanation of the experimental difficulty of observing the reentrant transition with pressure; and underscores the advantage of pulling experiments for studies of DNA. Results are discussed and compared with those reported in a number of recent publications with which a significant level of agreement is obtained.

description: O presente estudo tem como objetivo investigar os fatores que influenciam a ansiedade em mulheres. A ansiedade é um transtorno psicológico que afeta um grande número de pessoas em todo o mundo, sendo mais prevalente em mulheres. A pesquisa busca identificar quais são os principais fatores que contribuem para o desenvolvimento e agravamento da ansiedade nesse grupo específico. Diversos fatores podem influenciar a ansiedade em mulheres. Estudos mostraram que fatores biológicos, como alterações hormonais durante o ciclo menstrual e a menopausa, podem desempenhar um papel importante no desenvolvimento da ansiedade em mulheres. Além disso, eventos de vida estressantes, como divórcio, perda de emprego ou morte de um ente querido, também podem contribuir para o surgimento da ansiedade, Aspectos psicológicos, como traumas passados e vulnerabilidades individuais, também podem facilitar a manifestação da ansiedade em mulheres. Outras variantes como, pressões sociais expectativas de gênero e papéis tradicionais, podem contribuir para o aumento da ansiedade em mulheres. Foram achadas evidências que a presença de eventos de vida estressantes, histórico familiar de ansiedade e pressões sociais foram os fatores mais citados pelos teóricos da psicologia, como influenciadores da ansiedade. Baseado nos resultados é sugerido uma abordagem multidimensional é necessária para compreender e tratar a ansiedade em mulheres. É importante considerar não apenas os fatores biológicos, mas também os aspectos psicológicos e sociais que podem estar envolvidos; tais informações podem ser úteis para o desenvolvimento de estratégias de prevenção e tratamento mais eficazes, bem como para a elaboração de políticas públicas voltadas para a saúde mental das mulheres.

description: The presence of Dark Matter (DM) is required in the universe regulated by the standard general relativistic theory of gravitation. The nature of DM is however still elusive to any experimental search. We discuss here the process of accumulation of evidence for the presence of DM in the universe, the astrophysical probes for the leading DM scenarios that can be obtained through a multi-frequency analysis of cosmic structures on large scales, and the strategies related to the multi-messenger and multi-experiment astrophysical search for the nature of the DM.

description: This paper describes an improved vector manipulation multislope monotone upstream-centred scheme for conservation laws (MUSCL) reconstruction for solving the shallow water equations on unstructured grids. This improved MUSCL reconstruction method includes a bigger stencil for the interpolation and saves time for determining the geometric relations compared to the original vector manipulation method, so it is computationally more efficient and straightforward to implement. Four examples involving an analytical solution, laboratory experiments and field-scale measurements are used to test the performance of the proposed scheme. It has been proven that the proposed scheme can provide comparable accuracy and higher efficiency compared to the original vector manipulation method. With the increasing of the number of cells, the advantage of the proposed scheme becomes more apparent.

description: In a recent paper [1], motivated by forthcoming space experiments involving propagation of light in the Solar System, we have proposed an extention of the IAU metric equations at the c-4 level in General Relativity. However, scalar-tensor theories may induce corrections numerically comparable to the c-4 general relativistic terms. Accordingly, one first proposes in this paper an extension of [1] to the scalar-tensor case. The case of a hierarchized system (such as the Solar system) is emphasized. In this case, the relevant metric solution is proposed. Then, the geodesic solution relevant for propagation of light in the inner solar system at the millimetric level is given in explicit form.

description: Free-standing exfoliated monolayer graphene is an ultra-thin flexible membrane, which exhibits out of plane deformation or corrugation. In this paper, a technique is described to measure the band structure of such free-standing graphene by angle-resolved photoemission. Our results show that photoelectron coherence is limited by the crystal corrugation. However, by combining surface morphology measurements of the graphene roughness with angle-resolved photoemission, energy dependent quasiparticle lifetime and bandstructure measurements can be extracted. Our measurements rely on our development of an analytical formulation for relating the crystal corrugation to the photoemission linewidth. Our ARPES measurements show that, despite significant deviation from planarity of the crystal, the electronic structure of exfoliated suspended graphene is nearly that of ideal, undoped graphene; we measure the Dirac point to be within 25 meV of $E_F$ . Further, we show that suspended graphene behaves as a marginal Fermi-liquid, with a quasiparticle lifetime which scales as $(E - E_F)^{-1}$; comparison with other graphene and graphite data is discussed.

A possible microcanonical generalisation of the Tsallis distribution is proposed, which gives good agreement with measured data up to $x\approx1$. The proposal is based on superstatistics and a $KNO$ like scaling of multiplicity distributions in $e^+e^-$ experiments.

description: Factorized spectral surface scenario has been considered as one of solutions to the dimension-4 proton decay problem in supersymmetric compactifications of F-theory. It has been formulated in language of gauge theory on 7+1 dimensions, but the gauge theories descriptions can capture physics of geometry of F-theory compactification only approximately at best. Given the severe constraint on the renormalizable couplings that lead to proton decay, it is worth studying without an approximation whether or not the proton decay operators are removed completely in this scenario. We clarify how the behavior of spectral surface and discriminant locus are related, study monodromy of 2-cycles in a Calabi--Yau 4-fold geometry, and find that the proton decay operators are likely to be generated in a simple factorization limit of the spectral surface. A list of loopholes in this study, and hence a list of chances to save the factorized spectral surface scenario, is also presented.

description: We study the question on whether the famous Golod-Shafarevich estimate, which gives a lower bound for the Hilbert series of a (noncommutative) algebra, is attained. This question was considered by Anick in his 1983 paper 'Generic algebras and CW-complexes', Princeton Univ. Press., where he proved that the estimate is attained for the number of quadratic relations $d \leq \frac{n^2}{4}$ and $d \geq \frac{n^2}{2}$, and conjectured that this is the case for any number of quadratic relations. The particular point where the number of relations is equal to $ \frac{n(n-1)}{2}$ was addressed by Vershik. He conjectured that a generic algebra with this number of relations is finite dimensional. We prove that over any infinite field, the Anick conjecture holds for $d \geq \frac{4(n^2+n)}{9}$ and arbitrary number of generators $n$, and confirm the Vershik conjecture over any field of characteristic 0. We give also a series of related asymptotic results.

This is an iterated GBDT version. New families of non-singular and rational potentials and solutions are obtained. Some results are new for the case that $k=1$ too. A certain generalization of a colligation introduced by M.S. Livsic and of the $S$-node introduced by L.A. Sakhnovich is successfully used in our construction.

description:
The evolution and course of Himalayan rivers when exiting the orogen is controlled by the interplay between tectonics, climate, and associated sediment flux. We investigate these interactions by studying a Late Pleistocene deflection of the Sutlej River at the southern margin of the western Himalayan. This part of the Himalaya is also referred to as Kangra Recess. Late Quaternary faulting and folding along the Main Frontal Thrust and related back thrusts has created anticlinal structures in the south and piggyback basins in the north. Combined field observations and chronological constraints have shown that the anticline evolved as multiple fault segments, which grew through lateral propagation and led to the permanent deflection of the Sutlej River by ~ 50 km to the southeast. In this work, we present new luminescence and cosmogenic nuclide chronologies combined with previously published data to better identify the sedimentation history. Most importantly, we focus on the cause and final timing of the permanent river deflection. We show evidence for widespread aggradation and sediment deposition by the Sutlej River megafan and its tributaries starting before 47 ka and continuing until ~ 26 ka. Our 10Be and 26Al results in combination with available OSL data document the last widespread throughflow of the Sutlej at ~ 30-25 ka. We argue that a combination of climate and tectonic factors, especially
the variability of monsoonal strength, led to major changes in sediment supply at short time scales and therefore affected the course of the Sutlej River system.

We demonstrate crossing of the phantom divide does not occur within the framework of the original DGP model or the DGP model developed by Dvali and Turner. By extending their model, we construct a model that realizes crossing of the phantom divide. DGP models can account for late-time acceleration of the universe without dark energy. Phantom Crossing DGP model is more compatible with recent observational data from Type Ia Supernovae (SNIa), Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropies, and Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) than the original DGP model or the DGP model developed by Dvali and Turner.

description: The thesis aims to identify the effects of judgments that declare the nullity or annulment of shareholders' resolutions, also of negative content, by looking for a solution that ensures a proper balance between the protection of legality and the stability of corporate actions. The traditional view that the judgment has full retroactive effect , without prejudice to rights acquired in good faith by third parties, seeems to apply only to the resolution with which it has been decided or authorized the completion of a legal transaction by the directors. In the thesis, it is suggested that it is however possible to deduce from many provisions of the civil code (and in particular from art. 2332 c.c.) that the judgments regarding a resolution modifiyng the organization of the company can operate only ex nunc, as it is necessary to ensure the validity of acts that were taken on the assumption of the invalid resolution. In light of the above conclusion, it is determined which are the the effects of the judgements in case of invalidity of some specific resolutions, namely those of approving the budget or an increase in paid capital. Lastly, the thesis tries to identify the limits that the judicial authority has in the identification of measures to be taken by the board in order to comply with the judgments, in accordance with the principle that the tribunals can not interfere in the management of the Company, taking acts in place of the board of directors or of the shareholders.

description: The availability of vector magnetogram sequences with sufficient accuracy and cadence to estimate the time derivative of the magnetic field allows us to use Faraday's law to find an approximate solution for the electric field in the photosphere, using a Poloidal-Toroidal Decomposition (PTD) of the magnetic field and its partial time derivative. Without additional information, however, the electric field found from this technique is under-determined -- Faraday's law provides no information about the electric field that can be derived the gradient of a scalar potential. Here, we show how additional information in the form of line-of-sight Doppler flow measurements, and motions transverse to the line-of-sight determined with ad-hoc methods such as local correlation tracking, can be combined with the PTD solutions to provide much more accurate solutions for the solar electric field, and therefore the Poynting flux of electromagnetic energy in the solar photosphere. Reliable, accurate maps of the Poynting flux are essential for quantitative studies of the buildup of magnetic energy before flares and coronal mass ejections.

description: Abstract: With the rapid emergence of data in applied plasma physics, such as plasma medicine and plasma agriculture, there is a need for the development of robust, reliable and reproducible analysis methods. Then, it is advisable that the analysis interacts with existing data stored in databases from different disciplines, with parameters set by the experimenter and with additional data containing information about mathematical models that can then be used for predictive methods in the future. Although plasma medicine has adapted methods from numerous fields, processing the data remains a challenge due to different, non-standardised data formats and differing needs throughout the various hypotheses. In the topical field of plasma agriculture, the need for elaborated data workflows has just been recognised and work is underway to standardise data collection and documentation and to integrate external databases into the research processes. We present an approach to data analysis based on uniformly annotated research data using electronic laboratory notebooks. It includes the KNIME Analytics Platform as well as the R programming language for automated data processing. This approach can also be applied in other application areas and similarly realised with alternative tools.

CHARACTERIZATION OF ATMOSPHERIC AEROSOLS EXPLOITING SATELLITE MULTISPECTRAL OPTICAL IMAGING. APPLICATIONS TO RADIATIVE TRANSFER FOR DOWNSTREAM SERVICES IN THE FIELDS OF RENEWABLE ENERGY AND HEALTHCARE
Creators: name: MORELLI, MARCO
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano

description: This Thesis presents some of the most important results obtained in the PhD that concern with multispectral satellite remote sensing, radiative transfer modelling, aerosol optical properties and some related applications. The research activities have been supported by and performed in collaboration with Flyby S.r.l., a small Italian company devoted to applied research and innovative technology development in remote sensing that fully funded the PhD. The effects of atmospheric aerosols on the solar radiative transfer have been investigated by exploiting both satellite optical imagery and ground-based solar radiation measurements. In particular cloudless-sky conditions have been taken into account in order to focus aerosols impact on radiative transfer avoiding the clouds related effects. The simultaneous observation of solar radiation ?below? and ?above? the aerosols layer in cloudless-sky conditions showed a correlation between aerosols amount in the atmosphere (revealed also by ground-based measurements) and the spectral radiance observed by two infrared channels of the satellite optical sensor. This has been extremely important for the development of an innovative method for the satellite-based near real-time solar radiation monitoring taking also into account aerosols impact. Besides, also the effects of clouds on solar radiation have been modelled, leading to several applications in the fields of renewable energies and healthcare. In particular a methodology for the near real-time monitoring of the performances of solar energy plants has been developed: satellite-based solar irradiance at ground and an analytic modelling of the solar plant allows a near-real time evaluation of plant?s performances. Moreover, an application dedicated to the satellite-based monitoring of UV effects on human skin has been developed. This application starts from the near-real time calculation of UV erythemal dose and provides a ?safe sun exposure time? for avoiding sunburns or other skin diseases (such as melanoma).

We prove that the KdV soliton with subcritical speed $0c^*$, in the spirit of the work by Duyckaerts and Merle \cite{DM}, we sharpen our previous instability result and construct a global solution which is different from the solitary wave and its translates and which converges to the solitary wave as time goes to infinity. This last result also holds for the gKP-I equation.

description: Cosmological N-body simulations indicate that the dark matter haloes of galaxies should be generally triaxial. Yet, the presence of a baryonic disc is believed to alter the shape of the haloes. Here we aim to study how bar formation is affected by halo triaxiality and how, in turn, the presence of the bar influences the shape of the halo. We perform a set of collisionless N-body simulations of disc galaxies with triaxial dark matter haloes, using elliptical discs as initial conditions. We study models of different halo triaxialities and, to investigate the behaviour of the halo shape in the absence of bar formation, we run models with different disc masses, halo concentrations, disc velocity dispersions and also models where the disc shape is kept artificially axisymmetric. We find that the introduction of a massive disc causes the halo triaxiality to be partially diluted. Once the disc is fully grown, a strong stellar bar develops within the halo that is still non-axisymmetric, causing it to lose its remaining non-axisymmetry. In triaxial haloes in which the initial conditions are such that a bar does not form, the halo is able to remain triaxial and the circularisation of its shape on the plane of the disc is limited to the period of disc growth. We conclude that part of the circularisation of the halo is due to disc growth, but part must be attributed to the formation of a bar. We find that initially circular discs respond excessively to the triaxial potential and become highly elongated. They also lose more angular momentum than the initially elliptical discs and thus form stronger bars. Because of that, the circularisation that their bars induce on their haloes is also more rapid. We also analyse halo vertical shapes and observe that their vertical flattenings remain considerable, meaning that the haloes become approximately oblate by the end of the simulations. [abridged]

ubimus archaeology

description: This paper discusses questions of ubiquitous music archaeology within the context of reconstructing Jean-Claude Risset's music with MUSIC V. We begin by situating the field of ubimus archaeology as it overlaps with the area of software archaeology. We then explore the theory, where issues of sustainability, archival, reproduction, and recovery come to the fore. The next sections apply these ideas to a specific case, that of the reconstruction of computer music from original sources. We look at the work involved in restoring MUSIC V from its original Fortran code, and the attempt to bring it to a state where the music of Risset can be reconstructed in a modern computing environment. This involved extensive archival work to rescue and reassemble his original score files. The paper concludes with an overview of the current state of this project, some preliminary results and the next steps.

The meaning of home : untold stories of people from Dadaab Refugee Camp studying at Canadian postsecondary institutions
Creators: name: Khan, Anjum
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: The movement from one’s homeland, especially in cases of forced migration and displacement, is often accompanied by intense feelings of unexpected dislocation along with the demands of adjusting to an entirely new environment. The meaning of home is complex for all of us, however for people in refugee situations it is further complicated through its multiple and contradictory meanings. This research considers the meaning of home and how this may shift once people leave the turbulent setting of refugee camps and resettle in new places. This study employed narrative inquiry with five participants who lived in Dadaab Refugee Camp, Kenya and came to Vancouver, Canada for post-secondary education. Although each participant’s meaning of home is distinct and unique, analysis of the data revealed three shared themes: 1) Permanency or fluidity of home is constructed as related to traditions and lived experiences. 2) Home is understood in terms of peace, safety/security and freedom. 3) Home and ancestral place are not mutually exclusive. Decolonization theory from the perspectives of Frantz Fanon and Paulo Freire was used within the context of forced displacement as the theoretical framework. Decolonization theory is important and necessary at different levels of migration governance to establish non-exploitative relationships instead of replicating structures of oppression. Decolonization is not an end point but a life-long process requiring constant dismantling and re-creation. We don’t always get to decide where we call home, and many times it is others who decide. Our feet may leave a place, but not always our hearts. Even though we often don’t think about it, home is an important concept that is associated with the sense of belonging, not only in physical terms, but also in terms of security, comfort, inspiration, hope and peace. Each person’s meaning of home will be unique and connected to different experiences that are embedded within their heart, mind and lived practice. No matter how one defines their home, in the end, it also very much defines us.

description:
Hydrogen, converted from renewable energy sources, provides a feasible road map to balance the daily up to seasonally fluctuation between renewable energy supply and consumer demand. Underground hydrogen storage (UHS) in porous formations is promising since depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs and aquifers are widespread worldwide, and have a large capacity to meet the G-TWh storage demand. However, unlike underground natural gas (mainly methane) storage, hydrogen is highly susceptible to microbial metabolisms, which can consume and convert hydrogen into other molecules such as methane through methanogenesis. This poses a risk of hydrogen loss and contamination. Another concept is geo-bio-methanation directly in the subsurface, enabling stable long-term storage. Both concepts require a thorough understanding of microbial activities within porous rocks. The key questions, including, 1) does microbial growth reduce reservoir performance? 2) is there any effect of minerals and pore microstructures on microbial activities? 3) how do static and flow conditions affect microbe distribution? need to be better elucidated. To tackle these questions, we develop an unconventional real-rock micromodel configured with a thin rock layer in a transparent microfluidic chip. This innovative setup allows us to visualise microbial growth in rocks under a fluorescence microscope. By employing real-rock micromodels, we can overcome limitations related to mineral homogeneity and artificial pore structures. Consequently, this workflow and platform may hence offer new possibilities for studying microbial metabolism in geo-materials and the potential interactions.

description: We consider the following semilinear elliptic equation on a strip: \[ \left\{{array}{l} Δu-u + u^p=0 \ {in} \ \R^{N-1} \times (0, L), u>0, \frac{\partial u}{\partial ν}=0 \ {on} \ \partial (\R^{N-1} \times (0, L)) {array} \right.\] where $ 1< p\leq \frac{N+2}{N-2}$. When $ 10$ such that for $L \leq L_{*}$, the least energy solution is trivial, i.e., doesn't depend on $x_N$, and for $L >L_{*}$, the least energy solution is nontrivial. When $N \geq 4, p=\frac{N+2}{N-2}$, it is shown that there are two numbers $L_{*}L_{**}$. A connection with Delaunay surfaces in CMC theory is also made.

description: We generate a new complete equation of state (EOS) of nuclear matter for a wide range of temperatures, densities, and proton fractions ready for use in astrophysical simulations of supernovae and neutron star mergers. Our previous two papers tabulated the EOS at over 180,000 grid points in the temperature range $T$ = 0 to 80 MeV, the density range $n_B$ = 10$^{-8}$ to 1.6 fm$^{-3}$, and the proton fraction range $Y_P$ = 0 to 0.56. In this paper we combine these data points using a suitable interpolation scheme to generate a single equation of state table on a finer grid. This table is thermodynamically consistent and conserves entropy during adiabatic compression tests. We present various thermodynamic quantities and the composition of matter in the new EOS, along with several comparisons with existing EOS tables. Our equation of state table is available for download.
