description: We study the effect of mergers on the morphology of galaxies by means of the simulated merger tree approach first proposed by Moster et al. This method combines N-body cosmological simulations and semi-analytic techniques to extract realistic initial conditions for galaxy mergers. These are then evolved using high resolution hydrodynamical simulations, which include dark matter, stars, cold gas in the disc and hot gas in the halo. We show that the satellite mass accretion is not as effective as previously thought, as there is substantial stellar stripping before the final merger. The fraction of stellar disc mass transferred to the bulge is quite low, even in the case of a major merger, mainly due to the dispersion of part of the stellar disc mass into the halo. We confirm the findings of Hopkins et al., that a gas rich disc is able to survive major mergers more efficiently. The enhanced star formation associated with the merger is not localised to the bulge of galaxy, but a substantial fraction takes place in the disc too. The inclusion of the hot gas reservoir in the galaxy model contributes to reducing the efficiency of bulge formation. Overall, our findings suggest that mergers are not as efficient as previously thought in transforming discs into bulges. This possibly alleviates some of the tensions between observations of bulgeless galaxies and the hierarchical scenario for structure formation.

description: Using a framework based on the $1+3$ formalism we carry out a study on axially and reflection symmetric dissipative fluids, in the quasi--static regime. We first derive a set of invariantly defined "velocities", which allow for an inambiguous definition of the quasi--static approximation. Next we rewrite all the relevant equations in this aproximation and extract all the possible, physically relevant, consequences ensuing the adoption of such an approximation. In particular we show how the vorticity, the shear and the dissipative flux, may lead to situations where different kind of "velocities" change of sign within the fluid distribution with respect to theirs sign on the boundary surface. It is shown that states of gravitational radiation are not {\it a priori} incompatible with the quasistatic--regime. However, any such state must last for an infinite period of time, thereby diminishing its physical relevance.

description: Kimchi cabbage (Brassica rapa L. ssp. Pekinensis) is a vegetable crop that thrives in cool climates and is widely cultivated throughout Asia. Recently, stable cabbage production has been threatened by abnormally high temperatures resulting from global warming, leading to temporary spikes in prices. Consequently, the development of heat-tolerant varieties has become increasingly important. In this experiment, we assessed heat tolerance using ten varieties developed by the Rural Development Administration, along with four commercially available varieties from Korea and Taiwan. We measured leaf number, leaf area, biomass, dry weight, and root area, and then performed a t-test to evaluate the significance of the differences between the control and treatment groups. The varieties were ranked based on the number of traits that exhibited non-significant differences, allowing us to categorize the top seven varieties as the tolerant group and the bottom five as the sensitive group. Differences in trends were observed between the groups for dry weight, biomass, and specific leaf area (SLA), while no distinct trends were noted for leaf area, root area, and leaf number. However, significant differences in key weight indicators from the growth data were identified, enabling the determination of heat tolerance among the varieties classified into tolerant and sensitive groups. Reason: Improved clarity, vocabulary, and technical accuracy while correcting grammatical and punctuation errors.

description: We report a timing analysis of the black hole binary GRS 1915+105 with the NuSTAR observatory. A strong type-C QPO below 2 Hz appears in the power density spectrum during the whole observation, whose frequency is correlated with the 3-25 keV count rate. The QPO shows a sudden increase in frequency along with an increase in flux and a softening of the spectrum. We discuss the possible origin of the QPO and the reasons that lead to the QPO frequency variation. It is suggested that the reflection component has little influence on QPO frequency and the increase in QPO frequency could be associated with the inward motion of the outer part of the disk.

description: The distribution of galaxy morphological types is a key test for models of galaxy formation and evolution, providing strong constraints on the relative contribution of different physical processes responsible for the growth of the spheroidal components. In this paper, we make use of a suite of semi-analytic models to study the efficiency of galaxy mergers in disrupting galaxy discs and building galaxy bulges. In particular, we compare standard prescriptions usually adopted in semi-analytic models, with new prescriptions proposed by Kannan et al., based on results from high-resolution hydrodynamical simulations, and we show that these new implementations reduce the efficiency of bulge formation through mergers. In addition, we compare our model results with a variety of observational measurements of the fraction of spheroid-dominated galaxies as a function of stellar and halo mass, showing that the present uncertainties in the data represent an important limitation to our understanding of spheroid formation. Our results indicate that the main tension between theoretical models and observations does not stem from the survival of purely disc structures (i.e. bulgeless galaxies), rather from the distribution of galaxies of different morphological types, as a function of their stellar mass.

description: Complex network approaches have been recently developed as an alternative framework to study the statistical features of time-series data. We perform a visibility-graph analysis on both the daily and monthly sunspot series. Based on the data, we propose two ways to construct the network: one is from the original observable measurements and the other is from a negative-inverse-transformed series. The degree distribution of the derived networks for the strong maxima has clear non-Gaussian properties, while the degree distribution for minima is bimodal. The long-term variation of the cycles is reflected by hubs in the network that span relatively large time intervals. Based on standard network structural measures, we propose to characterize the long-term correlations by waiting times between two subsequent events. The persistence range of the solar cycles has been identified over 15–1000 days by a power-law regime with scaling exponent γ = 2.04 of the occurrence time of two subsequent strong minima. In contrast, a persistent trend is not present in the maximal numbers, although maxima do have significant deviations from an exponential form. Our results suggest some new insights for evaluating existing models.

description: The controlled growth of organic layer on surface is still awaiting for an on-line reliable monitoring that would allow improvement of its quality. We show here that the self-assembly of the perylene monolayer deposited on Ag(110) at room temperature can be tracked with low energy atoms in a regime where the energy perpendicular to the layer is less than 0.1 eV preventing damage to the layer. The image processing required for this triangulation technique with atoms is described in details.

description: Let $G$ be a semisimple algebraic group with Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$. For a nilpotent $G$-orbit $\mathcal O\subset\mathfrak g$, let $d_\mathcal O$ denote the maximal dimension of a subspace $V\subset \mathfrak g$ that is contained in the closure of $\mathcal O$. In this note, we prove that $d_\mathcal O \le \frac{1}{2}\dim\mathcal O$ and this upper bound is attained if and only if $\mathcal O$ is a Richardson orbit. Furthermore, if $V$ is $B$-stable and $\dim V= \frac{1}{2}\dim\mathcal O$, then $V$ is the nilradical of a polarisation of $\mathcal O$. Every nilpotent orbit closure has a distinguished $B$-stable subspace constructed via an $\mathfrak{sl}_2$-triple, which is called the Dynkin ideal. We then characterise the nilpotent orbits $\mathcal O$ such that the Dynkin ideal (1) has the minimal dimension among all $B$-stable subspaces $\mathfrak c$ such that $\mathfrak c\cap\mathcal O$ is dense in $\mathfrak c$, or (2) is the only $B$-stable subspace $\mathfrak c$ such that $\mathfrak c\cap\mathcal O$ is dense in $\mathfrak c$.

description: Since academic libraries began to open their doors to students in the late 19th to early 20th century, librarians have engaged in nearly continuous discussion of the college student’s need for leisure reading materials, the broad benefits of reading such material, and the declining rate of American literacy. Given that budget is one of the most frequently cited obstacles to providing browsing collections or leisure reading materials in academic libraries today, understanding strategies used by librarians in tight times in the past may be informative for present-day academic librarians. This thesis addresses whether/to what extent the incorporation of the campus trade book store, the Bull’s Head, into the university library at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill in 1935, at the height of the Great Depression, was one such strategy.

description: We review a new theory of viscoelasticity of a glass-forming viscous liquid near and below the glass transition. In our model we assume that each point in the material has a specific viscosity, which varies randomly in space according to a fluctuating activation free energy. We include a Maxwellian elastic term and assume that the corresponding shear modulus fluctuates as well with the same distribution as that of the activation barriers. The model is solved in coherent-potential approximation (CPA), for which a derivation is given. The theory predicts an Arrhenius-type temperature dependence of the viscosity in the vanishing-frequency limit, independent of the distribution of the activation barriers. The theory implies that this activation energy is generally different from that of a diffusing particle with the same barrier-height distribution. If the distribution of activation barriers is assumed to have Gaussian form, the finite-frequency version of the theory describes well the typical low-temperature alpha relaxation peak of glasses. Beta relaxation can be included by adding another Gaussian with center at much lower energies than that responsible for the alpha relaxation. At high frequencies our theory reduces to the description of an elastic medium with spatially fluctuating elastic moduli (heterogeneous elasticity theory), which explains the occurrence of the boson-peak-related vibrational anomalies of glasses.

description: The pressures of global change acting on wild plants and animals include exposure to environmental toxins, the introduction of non-native species, and climate change. Relatively few studies have been reported in which these three main classes of stressors have been examined simultaneously, allowing for the possibility of synergistic effects in an experimental context. In this study, we exposed caterpillars of the Melissa blue butterfly (Lycaeides melissa) to three concentrations of chlorantraniliprole, under three experimental climates, on a diet of a native or a non-native host plant throughout larval development in a fully factorial experiment. We find that high pesticide exposure and a non-native diet exhibit strong negative effects on caterpillars, resulting in 62% and 42% reduction in survival, respectively, while interactive effects tend to be weaker, ranging from 15% to 22% reduction in survival. Interactive effects have been shown to be strong in other contexts, but do not appear to be universal; however, our study shows that the cumulative effects of stressors acting in isolation (additively) are sufficiently strong to severely reduce survival and by extension population persistence in the wild.

Publisher: name: University of Glasgow

description: Manzamine A was isolated from a marine sponge of the genus Haliclona by Higa and coworkers in 1986.8 The structure of manzamine A consists of complicated 5-, 6-, 6-, 8-, and 13-membered rings, two tertiary amines and a tertiary alcohol functionality, in addition to a β-carboline. The synthetically challenging structure and the extremely potent biological activity of manzamine A makes it an attractive synthetic target. Previous work in the Clark group had established the ring expansion of the tetracyclic ketone, which served as the key intermediate in the total synthesis of nakadomarin A published by the group in 2016. In this thesis, the initial focus was towards optimization of the synthesis of the tetracyclic ketone. The second part was exploring the ring expansion of the tetracyclic advanced intermediate via different strategies. Finally, work was carried out towards the elaboration of the ring expanded tetracyclic ketone to give the functionalised ring expanded intermediate.

description: Photometric redshifts, which have become the cornerstone of several of the largest astronomical surveys like PanStarrs, DES, J-PAS or the LSST, require precise measurements of galaxy photometry in different bands using a consistent physical aperture. This is not trivial, due to the variation in the shape and width of the Point Spread Function (PSF) introduced by wavelength differences, instrument positions and atmospheric conditions. Current methods to correct for this effect rely on a detailed knowledge of the PSF characteristics as a function of the survey coordinates, which can be difficult due to the relative paucity of stars tracking the PSF behaviour. Here we show that it is possible to measure accurate, consistent multicolour photometry without knowing the shape of PSF. The Chebyshev-Fourier Functions (CHEFs) can fit the observed profile of each object and produce high signal-to-noise integrated flux measurements unaffected by the PSF. These total fluxes, which encompass all the galaxy populations, are much more useful for Galaxy Evolution studies than aperture photometry. We compare the total magnitudes and colours obtained using our software to traditional photometry with SExtractor, using real data from the COSMOS survey and the Hubble Ultra Deep Field. We also apply the CHEFs technique to the recently published Extreme Deep Field and compare the results to those from ColorPro on the HUDF. We produce a photometric catalogue with 35732 sources (10823 with S/N>5), reaching a photometric redshift precision of 2% due to the extraordinary depth and wavelength coverage of the XDF images.

description: We investigated the transmission dynamics of lyssavirus in Myotis myotis and M. blythii, using serological, virological, demographic and ecological data collected between 2015 and 2022 from two maternity colonies in northern Italian churches. Despite no lyssavirus detection in 556 bats sampled over 11 events by RT-PCR, 36.3% of 837 bats sampled over 27 events showed neutralizing antibodies to European bat lyssavirus 1, with a significant increase in summers. By fitting sets of mechanistic models to seroprevalence data, we investigated factors that influenced lyssavirus transmission within and between years. Five models were selected as a group of final models: in one model, a proportion of exposed bats (median model estimate: 5.8%) became infectious and died while the other exposed bats recovered with immunity without becoming infectious; in the other four models, all exposed bats became infectious and recovered with immunity. The final models supported that the two colonies experienced seasonal outbreaks driven by (i) immunity loss particularly during hibernation, (ii) density-dependent transmission and (iii) a high transmission rate after synchronous birthing. These findings highlight the importance of understanding ecological factors, including colony size and synchronous birthing timing, and potential infection heterogeneities to enable more robust assessments of lyssavirus spillover risk.

description: Emerging network scenarios require the development of solid large-scale situated systems. Unfortunately, the diffusion/aggregation computational processes therein often introduce a source of complexity that hampers predictability of the overall system behaviour. Computational fields have been introduced to help engineering such systems: they are spatially distributed data structures designed to adapt their shape to the topology of the underlying (mobile) network and to the events occurring in it, with notable applications to pervasive computing, sensor networks, and mobile robots. To assure behavioural correctness, namely, correspondence of micro-level specification (single device behaviour) with macro-level behaviour (resulting global spatial pattern), we investigate the issue of self-stabilisation for computational fields. We present a tiny, expressive, and type-sound calculus of computational fields, and define sufficient conditions for self-stabilisation, defined as the ability to react to changes in the environment finding a new stable state in finite time. A type-based approach is used to provide a correct checking procedure for self-stabilisation.

description: This study provides an in-depth examination of virtual exhibits found at art museum web sites. The first part of the paper discusses the mission of museums and then goes on to consider the influence the advent of the Web has had on museum studies. Attention is given to different types of virtual art exhibits such as those that are created for marketing purposes and ones that mimic the actual physical museum. Findings from a survey sent to 100 museums with online exhibits are presented. Results provide information about: how often museums mount virtual exhibits, the museum's goals when creating virtual exhibits, the intended audience, how often exhibits remain online, etc.  A content analysis also provides information about the image and text presentation. The conclusion discusses the fact that there is no real agreed upon definition for a "virtual" exhibit. It also points out reasons why more virtual exhibits are not being put online at this time. Recommendations for further study on virtual exhibits are provided.

description: We generalize a new approach to entanglement conditions for light of undefined photons numbers given in [Phys. Rev. A {\bf 95}, 042113 (2017)] for polarization correlations to a broader family of interferometric phenomena. Integrated optics allows one to perform experiments based upon multiport beamsplitters. To observe entanglement effects one can use multi-mode parametric down-conversion emissions. When the structure of the Hamiltonian governing the emissions has (infinitely) many equivalent Schmidt decompositions into modes (beams), one can have perfect EPR-like correlations of numbers of photons emitted into "conjugate modes" which can be monitored at spatially separated detection stations. We provide entanglement conditions for experiments involving three modes on each side, and three-input-three-output multiport beamsplitters, and show their violations by bright squeezed vacuum states. We show that a condition expressed in terms of averages of observed rates is a much better entanglement indicator than a related one for the usual intensity variables. Thus the rates seem to emerge as a powerful concept in quantum optics, especially for fields of undefined intensities.

description: Multiple anthropogenic stressors co-occur ubiquitously in natural ecosystems. However, multiple stressor studies often produce conflicting results, potentially because the nature and direction of stressor interactions depends upon the strength of the underlying stressors. Here, we first examine how coral α- and β-diversities vary across sites spanning a gradient of chronic local anthropogenic stress before and after a prolonged marine heatwave. Developing a multiple stressor framework that encompasses non-discrete stressors, we then examine interactions between the continuous and discrete stressors. We provide evidence of additive effects, antagonistic interactions (with heatwave-driven turnover in coral community composition diminishing as the continuous stressor increased), and tipping points (at which the response of coral Hill-Richness to stressors changed from additive to near synergistic). We show that community-level responses to multiple stressors can vary, and even change qualitatively, with stressor intensity, underscoring the importance of examining complex, but realistic continuous stressors to understand stressor interactions and their ecological impacts.

description: In the presence of multiscale dynamics in a reaction network, direct simulation methods become inefficient as they can only advance the system on the smallest scale. This work presents stochastic averaging techniques to accelerate computations for obtaining estimates of expected values and sensitivities with respect to the steady state distribution. A two-time-scale formulation is used to establish bounds on the bias induced by the averaging method. Further, this formulation provides a framework to create an accelerated `averaged' version of most single-scale sensitivity estimation method. In particular, we propose a new lower-variance ergodic likelihood ratio type estimator for steady-state estimation and show how one can adapt it to accelerated simulations of multiscale systems.Lastly, we develop an adaptive "batch-means" stopping rule for determining when to terminate the micro-equilibration process.

description: Escribir sobre un videojuego tan extenso sin dar demasiados detalles impone una tarea complicada para quien se atreva pensarlo, sin embargo, procuraré ser lo más breve posible y dar una visión general del videojuego Persona 5 Royal, explorando conceptos como Gnosis, Persona, Sombra, y cómo estos términos están presentes durante toda la partida.

La premisa de que los personajes se vean sumergidos en una historia donde un poder superior e incomprensible controla el mundo y quiera apoderarse de él es una temática que podemos encontrar en la mayoría de los títulos RPGs, sin embargo, algo en lo que destaca Persona 5 es la manera en que aborda no solamente los aspectos Gnósticos, sino, su forma de explorar la psique humana, apoyándose de ella para crear una narrativa envolvente, emocionante, profunda y adictiva sin la necesidad de recaer en la fantasía medieval que muchos videojuegos del género ofrecen.

description: The Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) has collected spectra for over one million galaxies at $0.1511.6$ only in the narrow redshift range $z=[0.51,0.61]$. The low redshift LOWZ sample is 80% complete at $\log_{10}(M_*/M_{\odot}) >11.6$ for $z=[0.15,0.43]$. To construct mass complete samples at lower masses, spectroscopic samples need to be significantly supplemented by photometric redshifts. This work will enable future studies to better utilize the BOSS samples for galaxy-formation science.

description: Shoreline erosion and storm tide inundation increasingly threaten coastal populations, infrastructure and economies. Hard infrastructure, known as gray infrastructure (e.g. concrete seawalls), has commonly been used to protect coastal communities but is expensive to build, maintain, and deteriorates coastal vegetation. Green infrastructure (e.g. restored or conserved mangrove and marsh ecosystems) delivers nature-based coastal protection but in comparatively lower density coastal areas. Nowadays a more popularized approach to coastal protection is hybrid eco-engineering. In this study, we discuss lessons-learnt on how the hybridization of engineered structures and wetland restoration practices compared with traditional gray and green approaches. We contrast hybrid applications in mangrove and tidal marsh areas in the UK and south-east Asia. The majority (70%) of successful hybrid infrastructure cases were underpinned by understanding of ecological and hydrological changes in response to infrastructure and involved a wide range of stakeholders. In terms of construction and maintenance cost, limited data suggested that hybrid infrastructure may be more cost effective than gray infrastructure, but more expensive than green; however, data were very limited and therefore we suggest the need for further cost-benefit analyses to inform a robust comparison. Development of new technologies should see growing efficacy of future hybrid infrastructure in mitigating coastal flood risks.
Elementary Principals Views on the Relationship between the School Library Media Center and Student Achievement

description: This study surveyed the opinions of principals on the relationship between the school library media center and student achievement. Principals from six local North Carolina school districts were invited to fill out a questionnaire online. Results were examined for correlations between principals' opinions on student achievement as it related to several variables. Questionnaire statements pertaining to student achievement, funding, technology, and communication were each analyzed. The findings from this study reaffirm the need for increased communication between the school library media specialist, principal, and faculty. They also expose the same uncertainty unearthed by previous studies that principals display when it comes to the connection between the school library media center and student achievement. The small response size prohibited any conclusive findings but did highlight areas for further research. While survey results only reflect principal opinions rather than demonstrated causality, they still suggest a disparity between principals beliefs and current research in the field.

description: This paper characterizes the radial structure of stellar population properties of galaxies in the nearby universe, based on 300 galaxies from the CALIFA survey. The sample covers a wide range of Hubble types, and galaxy stellar mass. We apply the spectral synthesis techniques to recover the stellar mass surface density, stellar extinction, light and mass-weighted ages, and mass-weighted metallicity, for each spatial resolution element in our target galaxies. To study mean trends with overall galaxy properties, the individual radial profiles are stacked in seven bins of galaxy morphology. We confirm that more massive galaxies are more compact, older, more metal rich, and less reddened by dust. Additionally, we find that these trends are preserved spatially with the radial distance to the nucleus. Deviations from these relations appear correlated with Hubble type: earlier types are more compact, older, and more metal rich for a given mass, which evidences that quenching is related to morphology, but not driven by mass. Negative gradients of ages are consistent with an inside-out growth of galaxies, with the largest ages gradients in Sb-Sbc galaxies. Further, the mean stellar ages of disks and bulges are correlated, with disks covering a wider range of ages, and late type spirals hosting younger disks. The gradients in stellar mass surface density depend mostly on stellar mass, in the sense that more massive galaxies are more centrally concentrated. There is a secondary correlation in the sense that at the same mass early type galaxies have steeper gradients. We find mildly negative metallicity gradients, shallower than predicted from models of galaxy evolution in isolation. The largest gradients occur in Sb galaxies. Overall we conclude that quenching processes act in manners that are independent of mass, while metallicity and galaxy structure are influenced by mass-dependent processes.
