description: We present a photometric and spectroscopic study of the Milky Way satellite Laevens 3. Using MegaCam/CFHT g and i photometry and Keck II/DEIMOS multi-object spectroscopy, we refine the structural and stellar properties of the system. The Laevens 3 colour-magnitude diagram shows that it is quite metal-poor, old (13.0 +-1.0 Gyr), and at a distance of 61.4+-1.0 kpc, partly based on two RR Lyrae stars. The system is faint (Mv = -2.8+0.2-0.3 mag) and compact (r = 11.4+-1.0 pc). From the spectroscopy, we constrain the systemic metallicity ([Fe/H]spectro = -1.8+-0.1 dex) but the metallicity and velocity dispersions are both unresolved. Using Gaia DR2, we infer a mean proper motion of (mu_alpha, mu_delta) = (0.51+-0.28, -0.83+-0.27) mas yr-1, which, combined with the system's radial velocity ( = -70.2+-0.5 km s-1), translates into a halo orbit with a pericenter and apocenter of 40.7+5.6-14.7 and 85.6+17.2-5.9 kpc, respectively. Overall, Laevens 3 shares the typical properties of the Milky Way's outer halo globular clusters. Furthermore, we find that this system shows signs of mass-segregation which strengthens our conclusion that Laevens 3 is a globular cluster.

description: The orientation-dependence of thin-crystal lattice fringes can be gracefully quantified using fringe-visibility maps, a direct-space analog of Kikuchi maps. As in navigation of reciprocal space with the aid of Kikuchi lines, fringe-visibility maps facilitate acquisition of 3D crystallographic information in lattice images. In particular, these maps can help researchers to determine the 3D lattice parameters of individual nano-crystals, to ``fringe fingerprint'' collections of randomly-oriented particles, and to measure local specimen-thickness with only modest tilt. Since the number of fringes in an image increases with maximum spatial-frequency squared, these strategies (with help from more precise goniometers) will be more useful as aberration-correction moves resolutions into the subangstrom range.

description: The design of competitive tenders to purchase environmental services requires judgements to be made about the funding scale and tender scope, with the latter incorporating considerations of geographic area, industries involved and the types of environmental outputs required. Increasing the scale and scope of tenders increases the likelihood that a larger range of proposals will be proposed and cost-effective ones selected. However, the use of larger and more broadly scoped tenders may reduce landholder participation and increase asking bids. In the study reported here, these issues have been tested with a single water quality tender run in north-eastern Australia in 2007 and 2008. Post hoc tests and workshop exercises show that while largerscale and scope tenders can generate efficiency gains, care has to be taken to maintain participation and avoid higher bid levels

Interpolating gauges and the importance of a careful treatment of epsilon term
Creators: name: Joglekar, Satish D.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We consider the use of interpolating gauges (with a gauge function (F[A;alpha ]) in gauge theories to connect the results in a set of different gauges in the path-integral formulation. We point out that the results for physical observables are very sensitive to the epsilon term that we have to add to deal with singularities and thus cannot be left out of a discussion of gauge-independence generally. We further point out, with reasons, that the fact that we can ignore this term in the discussion of gauge independence while varying of the gauge parameter in Lorentz-type covariant gauges is an exception rather than a rule . We show that generally gauge-independence requires that the epsilon-term has to be varied with alpha. We further show that if we make a naive use of the epsilon term -i\int d^{4}x[{1/2}A^{2}-\bar{c}c]) (that is appropriate for the Feynman gauge) for general interpolating gauges with arbitrary parameter values [i.e.alpha], we cannot preserve gauge independence [except when we happen to be in the infinitesimal neighborhood of the Lorentz-type gauges]. We show with an explicit example that for such a naive use of an epsilon-term, we develop serious pathology in the path-integral as alpha is/are varied. We point out that correct way to fix the epsilon-term in a path-integral in a non-Lorentz gauge is by connecting the path-integral to the Lorentz-gauge path-integral with correct epsilon-term as has been done using the finite field-dependent BRS transformations in recent years.

description: Cancer cells interrelate with the bordering host microenvironment that encompasses the extracellular matrix and a nontumour cellular component comprising fibroblasts and immune-competent cells. The tumour microenvironment modulates cancer onset and progression, but the molecular factors managing this interaction are not fully understood. Malignant transformation of a benign tumour is among the first crucial events in colorectal carcinogenesis. The role of tumour stroma fibroblasts is well-described in cancer, but less well-characterized in benign tumours. In the current work we utilized fibroblasts isolated from tubulovillous adenoma, which has high risk for malignant transformation, to study the interaction between benign tumour stroma and the circadian clock machinery. We explored the role of the biological clock in this interplay taking advantage of an experimental model, represented by the co-culture of colon cancer cells with normal fibroblasts or tumour-associated fibroblasts, isolated from human colorectal tumour specimens. When co-cultured with tumour-associated fibroblasts, colon cancer cells showed alterations in their circadian and metabolic parameters, with decreased apoptosis, increased colon cancer cell viability, and increased resistance to chemotherapeutic agents. In conclusion, the interactions among colon cancer cells and tumour-associated fibroblasts affect the molecular clockwork and seem to aggravate malignant cell phenotypes, suggesting a detrimental effect of this interplay on cancer dynamics.

description: The new era of multimessenger astrophysics requires the capability of studying different aspects of the evolution of compact objects. In particular, the merger of neutron star binaries is a strong source of gravitational waves and electromagnetic radiation, from radio to $γ$-rays, as demonstrated by the detection of GW170817 and its electromagnetic counterparts. In order to understand the physical mechanisms involved in such systems, it is necessary to employ fully general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) simulations able to include the effects of a composition and temperature dependent equation of state describing neutron star matter as well as neutrino emission and reabsorption. Here, we present our new code named $\texttt{Spritz}$ that solves the GRMHD equations in 3D Cartesian coordinates and on a dynamical spacetime. The code can support tabulated equations of state, taking into account finite temperature effects and allowing for the inclusion of neutrino radiation. In this first paper, we present the general features of the code and a series of tests performed in special and general relativity to assess the robustness of the basic GRMHD algorithms implemented. Among these tests, we also present the first comparison between a non-staggered and a staggered formulation of the vector potential evolution, which is used to guarantee the divergence-less character of the magnetic field. With respect to other publicly available GRMHD codes, $\texttt{Spritz}$ combines the robust approach of a staggered formulation of the vector potential together with the use of an equation of state driver ($\texttt{EOS_Omni}$) that can allow the code to use finite temperature equations of state. A next version of the code will fully test the $\texttt{EOS_Omni}$ driver by coupling it with a neutrino leakage scheme.

description: Celem artykułu było omówienie roli działań o charakterze ekspresyjnym podejmowanych przez osoby niepełnosprawne w perspektywie kapitału społecznego. Niepełnosprawność i jej wpływ na życie osób nią dotkniętych rozważa się najczęściej w odwołaniu do założeń modelu bio-psychospołecznego lub modelu społecznego. W pierwszym, esencjalistycznym podejściu, podkreśla się znaczenie dysfunkcji percepcyjno-motorycznych, które same w sobie stanowią istotną barierę dla codziennych aktywności podejmowanych przez osoby niepełnosprawne. W drugim, konstruktywistycznym, kładzie się nacisk na konieczność eliminacji barier zewnętrznych: infrastrukturalnych, instytucjonalnych, ale przede wszystkim świadomościowych, które decydują o tym jak niepełnosprawność jest definiowana i jak postrzegane są osoby niepełnosprawne w społeczeństwie. Bez względu na przyjętą orientację, zarówno w jednym, jak i drugim podejściu, kluczową rolę dla pokonywania ograniczeń (barier wewnętrznych lub zewnętrznych) odgrywać będą emocje. Są one podstawą działań ekspresyjnych, które w perspektywie kapitału społecznego ułatwiają ochronę posiadanych zasobów: zdrowia fizycznego, zdrowia psychicznego i ogólnie rozumianej jakości życia. W dążeniu do realizacji tych celów niezbędne jest wsparcie uzyskiwane od osób najbliższych: członków rodziny i przyjaciół.

description: International trade of agricultural products not only generates wealth but is also responsible for the introduction of invasive pests beyond their natural range. Comprehensive bioeconomic modelling frameworks are increasingly needed to assist in the resolution of import access disputes. However, frameworks that combine welfare analysis attributable to trade and invasive species spread management are lacking. This study provides a demonstration of how a comprehensive economic framework, which takes into account both the gains from trade and the costs of invasive species outbreaks, can inform decision-makers when making quarantine decisions. We develop a partial equilibrium trade model considering international trade and combine it with a stratified dispersal model for the spread and management of potential outbreaks of an invasive species. An empirical estimation is made of the economic welfare consequences for Australia of allowing quarantine-restricted trade in New Zealand apples to take place. The results suggest the returns to Australian society from importing New Zealand apples are likely to be negative. The price differential between the landed product with SPS measures in place and the autarkic price is insufficient to outweigh the increase in expected damage resulting from increased fire blight risk. As a consequence, this empirical analysis does not support the opening up of this trade.

description: Medium modifications of the $πωρ$ vertex are analyzed in context of the $ω\to π^0 γ^\ast$ and $ρ\to πγ^\ast$ decays in nuclear matter. A relativistic hadronic model with mesons, nucleons, and $Δ(1232)$ isobars is applied. A substantial increase of the widths for the decays $ω\to π^0 γ^\ast$ and $ρ\to πγ^\ast$ is found for photon virtualities in the range $0.3-0.6$GeV. This enhancement has a direct importance for the description of dilepton yields from dalitz decays in relativistic heavy-ion collisions.

Evacuation time estimates for local source tsunami for Porirua and Kapiti suburbs

description: Porirua and the Kapiti Coast are in an active earthquake region. Both areas sit above the Hikurangi Subduction Interface and are cut by or close to a number of major local faults (e.g. the Fisherman Fault, Manaota Fault, Mascarin Fault, Ohariu Fault, Okupe Fault, Onepoto Fault, offshore Rangitikei Fault and Wairau Fault). Modelling of the tsunami generated by these local major faults was completed as a separate piece of research and for the scenarios undertaken, two of the local faults, the offshore Rangitikei Fault and Ohariu Fault, did not to produce tsunami of a size that would create a threat to land at any Porirua and Kapiti Coast suburb. Modelled scenarios of the tsunami generated by earthquakes on the remaining local sources showed all produced land threat tsunami (greater or equal to 1.0 m above the initial sea level) and some had very short (less than 5 minutes) travel times. Timely evacuation has proven to be the most effective means of reducing loss of life from tsunami, but a local source tsunami allows limited time for evacuation. With little time available for official warnings, self-evacuation is recommended should a strongly felt (hard to stand up in) or long-duration (greater than 1 minute) earthquake occur. Prompt evacuation together with a knowledge of evacuation routes and of the nearest safe zone minimises evacuation time and increases an evacuee’s chance of reaching the safe zone before the tsunami arrives. This study provides an estimate of the time needed for people within coastal and other low-lying suburbs of the Porirua and the Kapiti Coast to move to the designated safe zones. Combined with the tsunami travel times available from previous work and with population information, it provides valuable information to inform risk-reduction and preparedness discussions and can be used to aid the development of evacuation plans. The modelling has identified a number of suburbs where immediate and efficient evacuation is necessary to avoid loss of life in a local-source tsunami. (auth)

description: We report the impact of magnetic impurity substitution on the quantum disordered magnetic ground state of NaRuO$_2$. Local $S=5/2$ moments are introduced into the frustrated triangular lattice of $J_{eff}=1/2$ Ru moments via Fe-substitution in NaFe$_x$Ru$_{1-x}$O$_2$, and the evolution of the magnetic ground state is reported. Local spin freezing associated with conventional spin glass behavior is observed upon Fe substitution, marking an impurity-induced freezing of the primarily dynamic magnetic ground state in NaRuO$_2$. Furthermore, local Fe moments induce a Curie-Weiss magnetic behavior in the uniform magnetic susceptibility, and the local moment magnitude is best described by dynamic Ru moments polarized about impurity sites. Our results establish an impurity-doping phenomenology consistent with inherently dynamic moments in NaRuO$_2$ that are pinned by local magnetic impurities, similar to ``swiss cheese" models of impurity-substituted copper oxides.

description: Many-body quantum systems far from equilibrium can exhibit universal scaling dynamics which defy standard classification schemes. Here, we disentangle the dominant excitations in the universal dynamics of highly-occupied $N$-component scalar systems using unequal-time correlators. While previous equal-time studies have conjectured the infrared properties to be universal for all $N$, we clearly identify for the first time two fundamentally different phenomena relevant at different $N$. We find all $N\geq3$ to be indeed dominated by the same Lorentzian ``large-$N$'' peak, whereas $N=1$ is characterized instead by a non-Lorentzian peak with different properties, and for $N=2$ we see a mixture of two contributions.

description: The study examined the adoption of improved agroforestry technologies among farmers in Imo State. To achieve the study objectives, structured questionnaire were designed and administered to ninety farmers who were selected using a multistage random sampling technique. Data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics regression analysis and Pearson product moment correlation (PPMC). Findings shows that the farmers were mainly small scale middle aged married men with secondary education and no access to credit. The average house hold size, farming experience and annual income of the farmers were 6 person, 15.5 years and N 148,255.6 respectively with two contacts with extension agents on monthly basis. The results indicated that the farmers were largely aware of Gnetum Africana and have adopted plantain/banana technology. The mean adoption rate of agroforestry technologies was 33.81%. The main determinants of the adoption were farmers’ age, educational level, farm size, income, access to credit and extension contact as this variables were all significant. Apart from age of the farmers which was negatively related to adoption of agroforestry technologies all other variables mentioned affected the adoption rate of agroforestry technologies positively. Based on the findings, it was strongly recommended that farmers be provided with loans at concessionary interest rates to solve their financial problem of adopting innovations.

The crystals are large and free of sub-grains and foreign phases. The high crystal quality has been revealed by double-crystal x-ray rocking curves and Rutherford backscattering spectrometry combined with ion-beam channeling effect. We find that the evolutions of the superconducting transition width and volume fraction as a function of carrier concentration exhibit interesting anomalies in the vicinity of some magic number doping levels such as x =1/4^2 (=0.0625) and 1/3^2 (=0.111). We argue that these behaviours are of intrinsic electronic origin.

Locating Family of Origin Following Family Tracing: The Experiences of Unaccompanied and Separated Young People Seeking Asylum
Creators: name: Parfitt, Tara
Publisher: name: University of East London
Year: 2019

description: Unaccompanied young people comprise a significant proportion of forcibly displaced persons in the UK, facing further complications due to their ages and subsequent support needs. The importance of family networks for developing young people, including the negative sequelae of family separation, has been well documented. However, limited research exists with respect to unaccompanied young people’s efforts to locate missing family members. The present study aims to contribute to the narrow research base through illuminating how unaccompanied young people experience family tracing procedures by asking them about this directly. To this end, semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight young people to ask them about their experiences of family tracing with the British Red Cross, the singular provider of international family tracing efforts in the UK. Their resulting accounts were analysed through Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis and three main themes were identified: ‘Adjustment’, ‘Uncertainty’ and ‘Ability’. Participants experienced distress as a result of family separation and had ongoing concerns about the welfare of missing family members. Nonetheless, they maintained hope and a strong desire to find sought family. Participants resourcefully employed their own search strategies and enlisted the help of the British Red Cross. Adjusting to successfully tracing family members echoed other transitions participants had made to social and legal systems in the UK. Maintaining a sense of purpose in planning for their futures was a common factor for many participants. These findings have significant implications for unaccompanied young people seeking asylum, emphasising the importance of family tracing and reunion rights for the psychosocial wellbeing of this cohort. Adequate awareness of the implications of family separation and tracing procedures is vital for professionals working with this group to provide appropriate support. Policy revisions are required to broaden conceptualisations of family membership and prioritise the rights of unaccompanied young people as children first and equal citizens.

description: In the present work, we develop a causal theory of relativistic non-ideal fluids up to the second order in the Eckart frame using gradient expansion scheme. Keeping the spirit of Mueller-Israel-Stewart formalism, the general forms of bulk viscosity, shear viscosity tensor and the heat flow vector are presented. Since each of the flux quantities explicitly carry curvature terms, we show that our formalism finds application in astrophysics in particular in the strong gravity regime. We elucidate two such applications namely in viscous thick accretion disks also known as Polish doughnuts and in addressing non-rotating equilibrium configuration, like neutron stars.

Understanding the Role of Care Staff in Supporting Individuals With an Intellectual Disability Who Take Psychotropic Medication
Creators: name: Wrein, Dominic
Publisher: name: University of East London
Year: 2019

description: Intellectual disability services are under constant change with Transforming Care being the latest UK policy aimed to improve services. The STOMP agenda forms part of this, as a call to action against the overmedication of people with intellectual disabilities. Recent service policy has come about following exposés of scandals where support workers have been found to be abusing the people they are paid to support. Despite these findings and the intimate role support workers have with people with intellectual disability, there is a paucity of research to understand this unique role. In response, this study aimed to develop a model that could conceptualise the role of support workers in caring for people with intellectual disability that take psychotropic medication. Constructivist grounded theory from a pragmatist position, which complements the research aim and questions of this study was carried out. The “negotiating dis/ability” model was constructed using interview data from support workers who had experience of working with people with intellectual disability who take psychotropic medication. “Disablement” and “ablement” were dominant processes for support workers negotiating a (medication) role in their relationships with others in the system. Support worker’s “dis/ablement” was constructed of a broader ableism that permeates throughout intellectual disability services. This study demonstrated how current interventions “disable” others through individualising problems within the support worker as well as the person with intellectual disability; taking a radical systemic approach may help to counter these narratives and lead to better outcomes, including more successful medication reductions.

description: The study assessed gender participation and decision making role in economic activities using data collected from 120 respondents. The results revealed that female participation was frequent in crop post-harvest activities and poultry management while male participation was frequent in crop pre-harvest operations only. Female respondents participated occasionally in home gardening, goat rearing, hair dressing and food processing. Educational level, years of experience, personal income and credit obtained significantly influenced the level of gender participation in economic activities. The Males always made decisions on selection of crop variety, spending money, saving money, buying of necessities, and children‟s education, while females always made decision on types of food for home consumption only. Age and income of respondents were the significant factors that influenced the level of gender involvement in decision making. Provision of credit facilities, sensitization on the importance of women involvement in decision making and mobilization of farmers to form co-operative societies are necessary impetus for improving women participation in economic activities and decision making.

description: Plutella xylostella L. is a most serious of insect pest for cruciferous or Brassica crops throughout the world. The common name of this insect pest is the Diamondback Moth (DBM). Plutella xylostella L. is an oligophagous insect which is feed on the group of botanically plants within the single plant family. This insect has become major serious problem to the crops because it easily and rapidly develops their resistance to insecticides. Insecticides were used to kill Plutella xylostella L. that contribute to minimize the level of infestation. Toxicity levels were measured by lethal concentration (LC50) to estimate the effectiveness of selected insecticides. A total of three selected insecticides namely spinosad, indoxacab and abamectin had been tested against Plutella xylostella L. The data of LC50 was analyzed using PROBIT program. The result from this study had been used to estimate the effective dose or quantity of each insecticide need for controlling Plutella xylostella L. Besides that, the most effectiveness between the tested insecticides were selected for managing Plutella xylostella L. Results from this study shows that indoxacarb were most effective and toxic to control Plutella xylostella L. compared with spinosad and abamectin because it gave lower LC50 value (1010.080). In term of concentration, indoxacarb (1125 μl/5000 ml) and spinosad (2750 μl/5000 ml) was the effective concentrations for controlling Plutella xylostella L. by mortality rate more than 50%, 60% and 80% respectively.

Do Mental Health Professionals in the UK Ask about Experiences of Adversity and Respond Appropriately?
Creators: name: Neill, Caitlin
Publisher: name: University of East London
Year: 2019

description: This study ascertained the extent to which mental health professionals working in adult community mental health services directly ask clients about adverse experiences, how often they are aware of those experiences, and how well they respond when such experiences do become known. The clinical records of 400 adult clients using four London community mental health teams were reviewed, using similar methodology to previous studies so as to enable comparisons. The results suggest that routine enquiry about adverse experiences is not taking place, despite this being NHS policy. Identification of adversities was poor. Only 13% of clinical records contained documentation of one or more forms of adverse experience. Only 1% showed clear evidence that service users had been asked about adversities by a clinician. This study included adverse experiences not previously studied, and documentation rates of these within clinical records was also low. The clinical records of female clients contained a higher total number of adverse experiences than males. People with a diagnosis indicative of psychosis were significantly less likely to have adverse experiences documented in their file. There was significant variation in documentation of adversities between the four services. Overall rates of response to known adversities were high, with 90.4% of clinical records containing documentation that the service user was offered some type of relevant support following disclosure of an adverse experience. There were no significant differences in the number of appropriate responses provided by mental health professionals in relation to age, diagnosis, community mental health team location or gender. Theoretical and conceptual knowledge relating to why some mental health professionals do not routinely ask about adverse experiences is discussed. Recommendations are proposed regarding the need for policies, staff training and guidelines to improve routine enquiry and responses to disclosures of adversity. Future research endeavours are recommended, linked to some of the methodological limitations of this study. Implications for both mental health services and broader societal factors are discussed.

description: When the Zimbabwe Farmers were brought to Kwara State, Nigeria in 2004, the intention of the government was to enable the local farmers benefit from their wealth of experience through commercial farming especially in the area of grain production in Tsonga and its environment. Six years after continuous farming, a survey evaluation was done through sampling of 240 farmers within their environment. Results showed that about 20% of the labour force required by the Zimbabwe farmers was obtained within the local environment and most people were employed as labourers, security guards and other unskilled labours. Similarly 3% of the local farmers were also trained to improve local productions while 18.8% of the farmers observed increased productivity and subsequent increase of income as a result of the commercial activities of these new farmers. Apart from these, the state of rural infrastructures like roads, electricity and potable water supplies were improved upon jointly by the State government and the Zimbabwe farmers. Local production of milk, rice, poultry, soya beans and animal fields for international markets were introduced. This has also affected local market organization in the locality positively. Even though some challenges were identified by local farmers, appropriate recommendations were presented accordingly.

description: Robotic automation is a key driver for the advancement of technology. The skills of human workers, however, are difficult to program and seem currently unmatched by technical systems. In this work we present a data-driven approach to extract and learn robot-independent contact skills from human demonstrations in simulation environments, using a Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) network. Our model learns to generate error-correcting sequences of forces and torques in task space from object-relative motion, which industrial robots carry out through a Cartesian force control scheme on the real setup. This scheme uses forward dynamics computation of a virtually conditioned twin of the manipulator to solve the inverse kinematics problem. We evaluate our methods with an assembly experiment, in which our algorithm handles part tilting and jamming in order to succeed. The results show that the skill is robust towards localization uncertainty in task space and across different joint configurations of the robot. With our approach, non-experts can easily program force-sensitive assembly tasks in a robot-independent way.
