Solar Interior Rotation and its Variation
Creators: name: Howe, Rachel
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This article surveys the development of observational understanding of the interior rotation of the Sun and its temporal variation over approximately forty years, starting with the 1960s attempts to determine the solar core rotation from oblateness and proceeding through the development of helioseismology to the detailed modern picture of the internal rotation deduced from continuous helioseismic observations during solar cycle 23. After introducing some basic helioseismic concepts, it covers, in turn, the rotation of the core and radiative interior, the "tachocline" shear layer at the base of the convection zone, the differential rotation in the convection zone, the near-surface shear, the pattern of migrating zonal flows known as the torsional oscillation, and the possible temporal variations at the bottom of the convection zone. For each area, the article also briefly explores the relationship between observations and models.

description: Simulating energy systems is vital for energy planning to understand the effects of fluctuating renewable energy sources and integration of multiple energy sectors. Capacity expansion is a pow- erful tool for energy analysts and consists of simulating energy systems with the option of investing in new energy sources. In this paper, we apply clustering based aggregation techniques from the literature to very different real-life sector coupled energy systems. We systematically compare the aggregation techniques with respect to solution quality and simulation time. Furthermore, we propose two new clustering approaches with promising results. We show that the aggregation techniques result in consistent solution time savings between 75% and 90%. Also, the quality of the aggregated solutions is generally very good. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to analyze and conclude that a weighted representation of clusters is beneficial. Furthermore, to the best of our knowledge, we are the first to recommend a clustering technique with good performance across very different energy systems: the k-means with Euclidean distance measure, clustering days and with weighted selection, where the median, maximum and minimum elements from clusters are selected. A deeper analysis of the results reveal that the aggregation techniques excel when the investment decisions correlate well with the overall behavior of the energy system. We propose future research directions to remedy when this is not the case.

description: Indonesia, like many countries, has committed to reducing its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. To do this the country needs to move from its current high reliance on non-renewable energy sources to renewable sources of energy. The issue is significant for Indonesia as the country is the 4th largest contributor to global CO2 emissions. The country has abundant sources for energy and one of these sources is the potential for solar energy. Therefore, the country has set ambitious renewable energy targets based on the potential supply of solar energy. With domestic residential consuming up to 43% of total electricity consumption, the Government has targeted homeowners to install solar rooftop and become residential solar PV prosumers. However, a recent energy evaluation report indicates that the country’s progress is very slow and it is highly likely that renewable energy goals will not be achieved. This study conducted an online survey of a small sample of regular electricity subscribers and residents who have installed solar rooftop in the hope of gaining a better understanding of various issues and factors which could be impeding the growth of residential solar. Some of areas the study explored included the level of knowledge and awareness of solar energy, initiatives for homeowners, policy on net-metering and feed-in tariff, and areas of concern related to economic, environmental, and technological factors. While many countries are struggling to shift to greener energy generation and consumption, in Indonesia’s case, the country has its own unique set of challenges being the energy generation and distribution is centralised, state-owned, with an inflexible energy pricing system. Hence, energy management in Indonesia could benefit from becoming more market focused and transparent, while increasing technology adoption with hybrid community partnerships, including a mix of private and government ownership. A discussion on policy implications and suggestions for improvements can be found at the end of this paper.

description: We present the first three-dimensional, full-star simulations of convection in a white dwarf preceding a Type Ia supernova, specifically the last few hours before ignition. For these long-time calculations we use our low Mach number hydrodynamics code, MAESTRO, which we have further developed to treat spherical stars centered in a three-dimensional Cartesian geometry. The main change required is a procedure to map the one-dimensional radial base state to and from the Cartesian grid. Our models recover the dipole structure of the flow seen in previous calculations, but our long-time integration shows that the orientation of the dipole changes with time. Furthermore, we show the development of gravity waves in the outer, stable portion of the star. Finally, we evolve several calculations to the point of ignition and discuss the range of ignition radii.

description: Neighbourhood design can have substantial impacts on children's physical and psychological well-being. COVID-19 lockdowns produced striking and unprecedented changes in how neighbourhoods functioned for children. The aim of this research was to explore what worked well for children during Alert Levels 3 and 4 (lockdown) in Aotearoa New Zealand (NZ), focusing in particular on the neighbourhood environment. Children (n = 192) aged between 5 and 13 years completed an online survey that collected information on neighbourhood walking and wheeling and what they liked about their neighbourhood during lockdown in NZ. Car-less neighbourhoods were important for supporting children’s well-being. Community activities such as the NZ Bear Hunt were appreciated by children. Natural environments, being home, spending time with family, and simple activities were all liked by participants. Social connections were important but often required technology. Findings can help inform initiatives to support child well-being in the face of potential future lockdowns or new pandemics.
National Energy and Climate Planning in Serbia: From Lagging Behind to an Ambitious EU Candidate?

Year: 2021

description: Just in the immediate neighbourhood of the European Union (EU), the Republic of Serbia, one of the Western Balkan (WB) EU candidate countries, is lagging behind in the process of energy transition regardless of technological advances and policy instruments available. The EU created a momentum for energy transition acceleration with the European Green Deal, which has been forwarded to the WB through the Energy Community secretariat in the form of the Green Agenda; generally speaking, response in the form of National Energy and Climate Plans (NECPs) is expected in the short term. The Republic of Serbia’s Low Carbon Development Strategy with Action Plan (LCDSA) and the current Energy Strategy will be analysed, commented on, and improvements will be suggested for the acceleration of energy transition, based on the newest findings from the simulation-based optimization techniques using the sector coupling approach to achieve ambitious variable renewable energy shares. The motivation of this research is to provide decision makers in Serbia with the best available insights regarding sustainable energy system planning tools and possible shortcuts for delayed planning of activities. In addition, the purpose is to improve Serbia’s chance of benefitting from adoption of these strategies in the country’s faster transition towards EU membership. The research compares two scenarios to illustrate a possible policy shift from small hydro power plants to photovoltaics (PV). A further increase in PV and wind power plants has been simulated using the EnergyPLAN to achieve expected scenarios of 40% renewable energy share and some more ambitious ones—up to 80%, which is realistic only with the sector coupling approach.

description: We study the growth of matter density perturbations delta_m for a number of viable f(R) gravity models that satisfy both cosmological and local gravity constraints, where the Lagrangian density f is a function of the Ricci scalar R. If the parameter m=Rf_{,RR}/f_{,R} today is larger than the order of 10^{-6}, linear perturbations relevant to the matter power spectrum evolve with a growth rate s=d (ln delta_m)/d (ln a) (a is the scale factor) that is larger than in the LCDM model. We find the window in the free parameter space of our models for which spatial dispersion of the growth index gamma_0= gamma(z=0) (z is the redshift) appears in the range of values 0.40< gamma_0<0.55, as well as the region in parameter space for which there is essentially no dispersion and gamma_0 converges to values around 0.40

Esilao : a pit house village in the Fraser Canyon, British Columbia
Creators: name: Mitchell, Donald Hector
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: This thesis undertakes a comparative study of two adjacent, yet linguistically distinct Fraser River Canyon groups -- the Tait and the Lower Thompson -- through an examination of ethnographic and archaeological data. The archaeological examination is based on results provided by an excavation at the recent Tait pit house village of Esilao in the Canyon near Yale, British Columbia. There were two related objectives. The purpose of the archaeological study was to test whether there was a discernible overlapping of ethnographic and archaeological data. Secondly, the Canyon culture was to be examined to determine whether it showed a greater alignment with the coast or with the interior. The results of ethnographic study show considerable uniformity of Canyon culture and pronounced interior affinities. The archaeological investigation reveals much overlap between ethnographic and archaeological data and indicates that the Esilao village assemblage had a definite interior alignment, thus lending support to the ethnographic findings.

description: Measures of individual mobility, such as activity space, have been previously used to help improve our understanding of individuals’ interactions with their everyday environments. However, such methods have rarely been adopted in studying children's physical activity and active travel behavior. In this study, we use a combination of participatory mapping and accelerometer data collected from children aged 8–13 years living in Tāmaki Makaurau/Auckland, Aotearoa/New Zealand, to describe children's travel behavior and explore associations of active travel, physical activity, and socio-demographic characteristics with environmental attributes. The results from this study reveal complex associations between these different layers. Density of cycling routes was consistently associated with higher levels of physical activity captured via moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), prevalence of active travel, and total activity space exposure. Nevertheless, population density, greenspace, and land-use mix revealed varying associations across different activity behaviors including MVPA, number of steps, and prevalence of active travel. The results from this study not only reassert the complexity of person–environment relationships, but also highlight the potential impacts of measurement and analytical methods on the study results. The novel combination of participatory mapping and accelerometer data together with activity space analysis provided new analytical insights which we discuss in this paper. This study concludes by reporting its observations and envisioning future research directions.

description: Despite all the already existing observational data, current models still cannot explain completely the excessive energy output and the time variability of GRB. One of the reasons for this is the lack of a good model of the central engine of GRB. A major problem in the proposed models with a black hole (BH) in the center is that they don't explain the observed evidences of late time activity of the central engine. In this paper we are starting the search for a possible model of that central engine as a rotating compact body of still unknown nature. The formation of jets in the new model lies entirely on the fundamental Teukolsky Master Equation. We demonstrate that this general model can describe the formation of collimated GRB-jets of various forms. Some preliminary results are presented.

description: We used 3.6, 8.0, 70, 160 micron Spitzer Space Telescope data, James Clerk Maxwell Telescope HARP-B CO J=(3-2) data, National Radio Astronomy Observatory 12 meter telescope CO J=(1-0) data, and Very Large Array HI data to investigate the relations among PAHs, cold (~20 K) dust, molecular gas, and atomic gas within NGC 2403, an SABcd galaxy at a distance of 3.13 Mpc. The dust surface density is mainly a function of the total (atomic and molecular) gas surface density and galactocentric radius. The gas-to-dust ratio monotonically increases with radius, varying from ~100 in the nucleus to ~400 at 5.5 kpc. The slope of the gas-to-dust ratio is close to that of the oxygen abundance, suggesting that metallicity strongly affects the gas-to-dust ratio within this galaxy. The exponential scale length of the radial profile for the CO J=(3-2) emission is statistically identical to the scale length for the stellar continuum-subtracted 8 micron (PAH 8 micron) emission. However, CO J=(3-2) and PAH 8 micron surface brightnesses appear uncorrelated when examining sub-kpc sized regions.

description: We report polarized neutron scattering studies of spin-wave excitations and spin fluctuations in the S=5/2 kagome lattice antiferromagnet KFe3(OH)6(SO4)2 (jarosite). Inelastic polarized neutron scattering measurements at 10 K on a single crystal sample reveal two spin gaps, associated with in-plane and out-of-plane excitations. The polarization analysis of quasi-elastic scattering at 67 K shows in-plane spin fluctuations with XY symmetry, consistent with the disappearance of the in-plane gap above the Neel temperature T_N = 65 K. Our results suggest that jarosite is a promising candidate for studying the 2D XY universality class in magnetic systems.

The agricultural extension methods and their applicability to the underdeveloped countries : with special reference to Southeast Asia
Creators: name: Jeerapandh, Somsala
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: The thesis investigates the extent to which agricultural extension methods as used in the developed countries can be applied to the countries in Southeast Asia with particular reference to Thailand. The working hypothesis is that the peculiar conditions of agriculture in the underdeveloped countries restricts the total transfer of extension methods from the developed regions to the underdeveloped regions of the world. The historical development of agricultural extension work in the developed countries of Europe and North America is traced, and the general theory and methods of agricultural extension are explored. Then the agricultural problems of Southeast Asia are studied, with a view to identifying the factors which will affect the agricultural extension work in that region. It is concluded that the method of personal contact which is effectively used in the developed countries can be the main method for persuading farmers in Southeast Asia to accept improved techniques and training them to apply these methods efficiently. However, the personal contact method involves costly personnel, transportation and equipment. The meeting and demonstration methods tend to be effective also. Mass methods of agricultural extension including radios, newsprint, magazines and circular letters would not be effective, since few farmers can read and a still smaller number have radios. However, posters and farm exhibits are two types of mass media which would stimulate a great deal of interest on the part of the rural population. Ideally, methods should be diversified. Meetings, demonstrations, discussions, films and slides can be used to complement each other. Their combination for best results varies with local conditions. In Thailand, as in any other underdeveloped country, a complete agricultural extension program is required. This would necessitate a greater number of agricultural extension workers than the country now has and therefore a training program for extension personnel is in urgent demand. The study also deals in some detail with the case of Thailand and conclusions are drawn for that country. To the extent that Thailand is representative of Southeast Asia, then conclusions can be generalized for the region.
Kinematics and history of the solar neighbourhood revisited

description: We use proper motions and parallaxes from the new reduction of Hipparcos data and Geneva-Copenhagen radial velocities for a complete sample of ~15000 main-sequence and subgiant stars, and new Padova isochrones to constrain the kinematics and star-formation history of the solar neighbourhood. We rederive the solar motion and the structure of the local velocity ellipsoids. When the principal velocity dispersions are assumed to increase with time as t^β, the index βis larger for σ_W (β_W~0.45) than for σ_U (β_U~0.31). For the three-dimensional velocity dispersion we obtain β=0.35. We exclude saturation of disc heating after ~3 Gyr as proposed by Quillen & Garnett(2000). Saturation after >~4 Gyr combined with an abrupt increase in velocity dispersion for the oldest stars cannot be excluded. For all our models the star-formation rate is declining, being a factor 2-7 lower now than it was at the beginning. Models in which the SFR declines exponentially favour very high disc ages between 11.5 and 13 Gyr and exclude ages below ~10.5 Gyr as they yield worse fits to the number density and velocity dispersion of red stars. Models in which the SFR is the sum of two declining exponentials representing the thin and thick discs favour ages between 10.5 and 12 Gyr with a lower limit of ~10.0 Gyr. Although in our models the star-formation rate peaked surprisingly early, the mean formation time of solar-neighbourhood stars is later than in ab-initio models of galaxy formation, probably on account of weaknesses in such models.

We estimate the Hubble constant to be 66_{-4}^{+6} km/s/Mpc (for a flat Universe with Ω_m=0.3, Ω_Λ=0.7). We have also selected a subsample of five relatively isolated early type galaxies and by simultaneous modeling with an additional constraint on isothermality of their mass profiles we get H_0=76 +/-3 km/s/Mpc.

description: We report on Combined Array for Research in Millimeter-Wave Astronomy (CARMA) and James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) observations toward the Einstein source 1E 1740.7-2942, a LMXB commonly known as the "Great Annihilator." The Great Annihilator is known to be near a small, bright molecular cloud on the sky in a region largely devoid of emission in 12-CO surveys of the Galactic Center. The region is of interest because it is interior to the dust lanes which may be the shock zones where atomic gas from HI nuclear disk is converted into molecular gas. We find that the region is populated with a number of dense (n ~ 10^5 cm^-3) regions of excited gas with small filling factors, and estimate that up to 1-3 x 10^5 solar masses of gas can be seen in our maps. The detection suggests that a significant amount of mass is transported from the shock zones to the GC star-forming regions in the form of small, dense bundles.

BIGG - D4.2 Description of the final harmonization layer

description: This document describes the development and the integral parts of the BIGG harmonization layer. The harmonization layer is a core component in the BIGG Reference Architecture Framework that ensures the interoperability with external data sources, defines the data structure of the internal databases, enables the integration between the different components, and provides a harmonised data input to the BIGG AI Toolbox.

The final harmonization layer consists of the BIGG ontology serving as a common reference, a Harmonizer tool enabling automated data harmonization of heterogeneous data sources over the BIGG ontology, and includes mapping and transformations for the different data sources used in the project.

The process of development of the harmonization layer consisted of several steps. The first step was the development of the BIGG Standard Data Model 4 Buildings based on detailed analysis of requirements of the BIGG use cases, and of the available datasets from the pilots necessary for the execution. The data model set the semantic base and structure of data in BIGG and served as a common reference for the parallel work in the work packages of the project dealing with communication, data analytics, and integration of components in the reference architecture.

In a next step, the Standard Data Model 4 Buildings step was transformed into a W3C standards compliant BIGG Ontology based on the RDF specifications, thus enabling the use of semantic technologies and machine understanding of data.

The adoption of the RDF as internal format for representing data in BIGG enabled the development of the Harmonizer component, a generic tool for converting both static and dynamic building-related data into BIGG-compliant data in RDF. The Harmonizer allows to use RML mapping rules to align the input data to the BIGG ontology and also implements SPARQL queries to specify correspondence between standard ontologies (e.g., ifcOWL) and the BIGG ontology.

Finally, aiming to contribute to standardisation, the BIGG Ontology was substantially analysed and compared to existing standards. This led to the development of BIGGstd, a standards-based transformation of the BIGG Ontology obtained by reusing existing standards. The transformation process served to evidence gaps in existing ontologies and to pinpoint potential contributions to them. A set of specific terms defined by BIGG for which no equivalent terms in existing standards were found was identified and presented in Annex 1. The potential use of these terms for future extensions of existing data standards will be considered by the BIGG representatives in EU standardization committees.

description: Anomalous far infrared monochromatic transmission through a lattice of Abrikosov vortices in a type-II superconducting film is found and reported. The transmitted frequency corresponds to the photonic mode localized by the defects of the Abrokosov lattice. These defects are formed by extra vortices placed out of the nodes of the ideal Abrokosov lattice. The extra vortices can be pinned by crystal lattice defects of a superconductor. The corresponding frequency is studied as a function of magnetic field and temperature in the framework of the Dirac-type two-band model. While our approach is valid for all type-II superconductors, the specific calculations have been performed for the YBa$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$O$_{7-δ}$ (YBCO). The control of the transmitted frequency by varying magnetic field and/or temperature is analyzed. It is suggested that found anomalously transmitted localized mode can be utilized in the far infrared monochromatic filters.

description: The impact of the third (skewness) and fourth (kurtosis) reduced centered moments on the statistical modeling of E1 lines in complex atomic spectra is investigated through the use of Gram-Charlier, Normal Inverse Gaussian and Generalized Gaussian distributions. It is shown that the modeling of unresolved transition arrays with non-Gaussian distributions may reveal more detailed structures, due essentially to the large value of the kurtosis. In the present work, focus is put essentially on the Generalized Gaussian, the power of the argument in the exponential being constrained by the kurtosis value. The relevance of the new statistical line distribution is checked by comparisons with smoothed detailed line-by-line calculations and through the analysis of 2p-3d transitions of recent laser or Z-pinch absorption measurements. The issue of calculating high-order moments is also discussed (Racah algebra, Jucys graphical method, semi-empirical approach ...).

description: We consider a family of dynamical systems (A,alpha,L) in which alpha is an endomorphism of a C*-algebra A and L is a transfer operator for α. We extend Exel's construction of a crossed product to cover non-unital algebras A, and show that the C*-algebra of a locally finite graph can be realised as one of these crossed products. When A is commutative, we find criteria for the simplicity of the crossed product, and analyse the ideal structure of the crossed product.

description: We present VLT/SINFONI integral field spectroscopy of RCW 34 along with Spitzer/IRAC photometry of the surroundings. RCW 34 consists of three different regions. A large bubble has been detected on the IRAC images in which a cluster of intermediate- and low-mass class II objects is found. At the northern edge of this bubble, an HII region is located, ionized by 3 OB stars. Intermediate mass stars (2 - 3 Msun) are detected of G- and K- spectral type. These stars are still in the pre-main sequence (PMS) phase. North of the HII region, a photon-dominated region is present, marking the edge of a dense molecular cloud traced by H2 emission. Several class 0/I objects are associated with this cloud, indicating that star formation is still taking place. The distance to RCW 34 is revised to 2.5 +- 0.2 kpc and an age estimate of 2 - 1 Myrs is derived from the properties of the PMS stars inside the HII region. The most likely scenario for the formation of the three regions is that star formation propagates from South to North. First the bubble is formed, produced by intermediate- and low-mass stars only, after that, the HII region is formed from a dense core at the edge of the molecular cloud, resulting in the expansion as a champagne flow. More recently, star formation occurred in the rest of the molecular cloud. Two different formation scenarios are possible: (a) The bubble with the cluster of low- and intermediate mass stars triggered the formation of the O star at the edge of the molecular cloud which in turn induces the current star-formation in the molecular cloud. (b) An external triggering is responsible for the star-formation propagating from South to North. [abridged]

description: Цель Оценить ассоциации факторов риска сердечно-сосудистых заболеваний (ССЗ) и вероятности развития фатальных сердечно-сосудистых событий с количеством потребляемого алкоголя в выборке мужчин 42-44 лет. Материал и методы Исследование является частью 32-летнего, проспективного, когортного наблюдения за лицами мужского пола, начиная с детского возраста. Обследованы 303 (30,1 %) человека. Обследование включало: сбор личного и семейного анамнеза, сведений о физической активности, вредных привычках, измерение артериального давления (АД), антропометрических параметров, липидного спектра крови, С-реактивного белка, мочевой кислоты, глюкозы, инсулина в сыворотке крови. Мужчин, в зависимости от их отношения к алкоголю, классифицировали на 3 категории: непьющие, умеренно пьющие, много пьющие. Оценивали суммарный риск развития ССЗ в ближайшие 10 лет. Результаты Большинство обследованных употребляют алкоголь относительно редко, но в объёмах значительно превышающих безопасные количества. Была выявлена линейная взаимосвязь между частотой абдоминального ожирения, артериальной гипертонией (АГ), гипер-ХС и гипер-ХСЛНП и уровнем потребления алкоголя. Уровни систолического и диастолического АД, общего холестерина (ОХС), аполипопротеина АI, мочевой кислоты и глюкозы у много и чрезмерно пьющих были значительно выше, чем у непьющих, а различия в окружности талии, холестерине липопротеинов высокой и низкой плотности (ХС ЛВП и ХС ЛНП), аполипопротеине В и HOMA-IR наблюдались только между непьющими и чрезмерно пьющими. Наиболее высокий риск развтия ССЗ наблюдается у много пьющих мужчин. Вклад систолического АД в суммарный риск больше у много пьющих, а доля ОХС в суммарном риске больше у много и умеренно пьющих. Вклад курения в суммарный риск не связан с количеством употребляемого алкоголя. Вероятность развития АГ у пьющих в 2,6 раза выше, чем у непьющих. Заключение Большинство мужчин в возрасте 42-44 лет употребляют алкоголь, 40 % принимают алкоголь в опасных для здоровья количествах. С увеличением уровня употребления алкоголя возрастает частота абдоминального ожирения, АГ и атерогенных изменений липидного спектра крови. Алкоголь оказывает прямое влияние на уровни систолического и диастолического АД, ОХС, аполипопротеина АI, мочевой кислоты и глюкозы. Величина суммарного риска ССЗ в значительной степени определяется другими факторами риска ССЗ уровнем ОХС и курением.

description: The electronic structure of the neutral and singly charged Mg vacancy in MgO is investigated using density functional theory. For both defects, semilocal exchange correlation functionals such as the local spin density approximation incorrectly predict a delocalized degenerate ground state. In contrast functionals that take strong correlation effects into account predict a localized solution, in agreement with spin resonance experiments. Our results, obtained with the HSE hybrid, atomic self-interaction corrected and LDA+U functionals, provide a number of constraints to the possibility of ferromagnetism in hole doped MgO.
