description: Measuring stellar rotational velocities is a powerful way to probe the many astrophysical phenomena that drive, or are driven by, the evolution of stellar angular momentum. In this paper, we present a novel data-driven approach to measuring the projected rotational velocity, $v\sin{i}$. Rather than directly measuring the broadening of spectral lines, we leverage the large information content of high-resolution spectral data to empirically estimate $v\sin{i}$. We adapt the framework laid down by The Cannon (Ness et al. 2015), which trains a generative model of the stellar flux as a function of wavelength using high-fidelity reference data, and can then produce estimates of stellar parameters and abundances for other stars directly from their spectra. Instead of modeling the flux as a function of wavelength, however, we model the first derivative of the spectra, as we expect the slopes of spectral lines to change as a function of $v\sin{i}$. This technique is computationally efficient and provides a means of rapidly estimating $v\sin{i}~$ for large numbers of stars in spectroscopic survey data. We analyze SDSS APOGEE spectra, constructing a model informed by high-fidelity stellar parameter estimates derived from high-resolution California Kepler Survey spectra of the same stars. We use the model to estimate $v\sin{i}~$ up to $15\,km\,s^{-1}$ for $27,000$ APOGEE spectra, in fractions of a second per spectrum. Our estimates agree with the APOGEE $v\sin{i}~$ estimates to within $1.2\,km\,s^{-1}$.

description: We reinvestigate the interaction of massless fermions with massless bosons at finite temperature. Specifically, we calculate the self-energy of massless fermions due the interaction with massless bosons at high temperature, which is the region where thermal effects are maximal. The calculations are concentrated in the limit of vanishing fermion three momentum and after considering the effective fermion and boson dressed masses, we obtain the damping rate of the fermion up to order $g^3$. It is shown that in the limit $k_0 \ll T$ the fermion acquire a thermal mass of order $gT$ and the leading term of the fermion damping rate is of order $g^2T+g^3T$.

description: We report the discovery of six spatially extended (10-100 kpc) line-emitting nebulae in the z=0.57 galaxy group hosting PKS0405-123, one of the most luminous quasars at z<1. The discovery is enabled by the Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) and provides tantalizing evidence connecting large-scale gas streams with nuclear activity on scales of <10 proper kpc (pkpc). One of the nebulae exhibits a narrow, filamentary morphology extending over 50 pkpc toward the quasar with narrow internal velocity dispersion (50 km/s) and is not associated with any detected galaxies, consistent with a cool intragroup medium (IGrM) filament. Two of the nebulae are 10 pkpc North and South of the quasar with tidal arm like morphologies. These two nebulae, along with a continuum emitting arm extending 60 pkpc from the quasar are signatures of interactions which are expected to redistribute angular momentum in the host interstellar medium (ISM) to facilitate star formation and quasar fueling in the nucleus. The three remaining nebulae are among the largest and most luminous [O III] emitting `blobs' known (1400-2400 pkpc^2) and correspond both kinematically and morphologically with interacting galaxy pairs in the quasar host group, consistent with arising from stripped ISM rather than large-scale quasar outflows. The presence of these large- and small-scale nebulae in the vicinity of a luminous quasar bears significantly on the effect of large-scale environment on galaxy and black hole fueling, providing a natural explanation for the previously known correlation between quasar luminosity and cool circumgalactic medium (CGM).

description: Coxiella burnetii is an obligate intracellular bacterial pathogen and a causative agent of culture-negative endocarditis. While C. burnetii initially infects alveolar macrophages, it has also been found in lipid droplet (LD)-containing foamy macrophages in the cardiac valves of endocarditis patients. In addition, transcriptional studies of C. burnetii-infected macrophages reported differential regulation of the LD coat protein-encoding gene perilipin 2 (plin-2). To further investigate the relationship between LDs and C. burnetii, we compared LD numbers using fluorescence microscopy in mock-infected and C. burnetii-infected alveolar macrophages. On average, C. burnetii-infected macrophages contained twice as many LDs as mock-infected macrophages. LD numbers increased as early as 24 hours post-infection, an effect reversed by blocking C. burnetii protein synthesis. The observed LD accumulation was dependent on the C. burnetii Type 4B Secretion System (T4BSS), a major virulence factor that manipulates host cellular processes by secreting bacterial effector proteins into the host cell cytoplasm. To determine the importance of LDs during C. burnetii infection, we manipulated LD homeostasis and assessed C. burnetii intracellular growth. Surprisingly, blocking LD formation with the pharmacological inhibitors triacsin C or T863, or knocking out acyl-CoA transferase-1 (acat-1) in alveolar macrophages, increased C. burnetii growth at least 2-fold. Conversely, preventing LD lipolysis by inhibiting adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) with atglistatin almost completely blocked bacterial growth, suggesting LD breakdown is essential for C. burnetii. Together these data suggest that maintenance of LD homeostasis, possibly via the C. burnetii T4BSS, is critical for bacterial growth.

description: We examine the prospects for discovering and elucidating the weakly-coupled Higgs sector at future collider experiments. The Higgs search consists of three phases: (i) discovery of a Higgs candidate, (ii) verification of the Higgs interpretation of the signal, and (iii) precision measurements of Higgs sector properties. The discovery of one Higgs boson with Standard Model properties is not sufficient to expose the underlying structure of the electroweak symmetry breaking dynamics. It is critical to search for evidence for a non-minimal Higgs sector and/or new physics associated with electroweak symmetry breaking dynamics. An improvement in precision electroweak data at future colliders can play a useful role in confirming the theoretical interpretation of the Higgs search results.

Decentralised energy governance in the global south: the case of Kenya since the implementation of devolution

description: Drawing on nine months’ field research in Kenya and using a predominantly qualitative methodology, this thesis investigates the role of decentralised governance in addressing Global South energy access issues. The study explores the concepts of decentralisation, governance, and energy access, engaging with overlooked debates concerning how these concepts interrelate and under what circumstances decentralised energy governance might help address Global South energy access issues. Concepts of scale and power are also explored, enabling new insights into the understudied area of how cross-scalar power relations play out in decentralised energy governance, while extending debates over whether the state should be viewed relationally. Critically, a spatial lens is applied to the aforementioned concepts and debates, developing new knowledge on how and the extent to which decentralised energy governance is spatially contingent.
Framed within debates on multilevel governance, the thesis shows cross-scalar power imbalances have led to a more hierarchical form of energy governance emerging in Kenya relative to that intended by legislation – this has led to excessive emphasis on grid electricity which has been detrimental to addressing energy access inequities. The emergent decentralised energy governance is also found to have marked geographical variations, underpinned by a range of spatially contingent historical, socio-economic, and political factors. The overarching conclusion is that Kenyan decentralised energy governance needs to develop robust networks of local actors to provide effective checks and balances to ‘top-down’ governance: without which, energy access inequities are likely to persist.
These findings have broader conceptual and theoretical implications for decentralised energy governance in the Global South. Decentralisation is shown to have distinct relevance to energy as grid electricity remains one of the few remaining de facto state monopolies in the Global South: the implication being central governments will see this control as too lucrative and politically important to cede to decentralisation reforms. The findings also highlight marked geographical variations, revealing that decentralised energy governance needs to be understood not only relationally, as typically seen in political economy analyses, but also spatially. This understanding has important methodological implications as it signals that geographical empirical approaches are required if on the ground practices of decentralised energy governance are to be better understood and more effectively developed.

description: With upcoming (continuum) surveys of high-resolution radio telescopes, detection rates of fast radio bursts (FRBs) might approach $10^5$ per sky per day by future extremely large observatories, such as the possible extension of the Square Kilometer Array (SKA) to a phase 2 array. Depending on the redshift distribution of FRBs and using the repeating FRB121102 as a model, we calculate a detection rate of multiply-imaged FRBs with their multiply-imaged hosts caused by the distribution of galaxy-cluster scale gravitational lenses of the order of $10^{-4}$ per square degree per year for a minimum total flux of the host of 10 $μ$Jy at 1.4 GHz for SKA phase 2. Our comparison of estimated detection rates for quasars, supernovae, gamma ray bursts, and FRBs shows that multiple images of FRBs could be more numerous than those of gamma ray bursts and supernovae and as numerous as multiple images of quasars. Time delays between the multiple images of an FRB break degeneracies in model-based and model-independent lens reconstructions as other time-varying sources do, yet without a microlensing bias as FRBs are more point-like and have shorter duration times. We estimate the relative imprecision of FRB time-delay measurements to be $10^{-10}$ for time delays on the order of 100 days for galaxy-cluster scale lenses, yielding more precise (local) lens properties than time delays from the other time-varying sources. Using the lens modelling software Grale, we show the increase in accuracy and precision of the reconstructed scaled surface mass density map of a simulated cluster-scale lens when adding time delays for one set of multiple images to the set of observational constraints.

description: The purpose of the study was the comparison of production costs and profitability of dessert apple production between Poland and Germany in the years 2000-2014. To accomplish this data from farms located at Niederelbe region in Germany published yearly in one of local trade journals for growers, were used. In Poland the data were taken from, commercial apple farms located in Grójec region, which were purposively selected from bigger set of farms investigated previously by authors. The farms from Niederelbe region turned out to be more profitable than Polish ones. The biggest comparative advantage of lower human labour costs on the site of Polish farms seem to be not threatened in the coming years. To strengthen their competitive position, the Polish apple producers should seek to increase the orchard area in holdings.

description: We present and derive a novel double-continuum transport model based on pore-scale characteristics. Our approach relies on building a simplified unit cell made up of immobile and mobile continua. We employ a numerically resolved pore-scale velocity distribution to characterize the volume of each continuum and to define the velocity profile in the mobile continuum. Using the simplified unit cell, we derive a closed form model, which includes two effective parameters that need to be estimated: a characteristic length scale and a ratio of waiting times RD that lumps the effect of stagnant regions and escape process. To calibrate and validate our model, we rely on a set of pore-scale numerical simulation performed on a 2D disordered segregated periodic porous medium considering different initial solute distributions. Using a Global Sensitivity Analysis, we explore the impact of the two effective parameters on solute concentration profiles and thereby define a sensitivity analysis driven criterion for model calibration. The latter is compared to a classical calibration approach. Our results show that, depending on the initial condition, the mass exchange process between mobile and immobile continua impact on solute profile shape significantly. By introducing parameter RD we obtain a flexible transport model capable of interpreting both symmetric and highly skewed solute concentration profiles. We show that the effectiveness of the calibration of the two parameters closely depends on the content of information of calibration dataset and the selected objective function whose definition can be supported by of the implementation of model sensitivity analysis. By relying on a sensitivity analysis driven calibration, we are able to provide a good interpretation of the concentration profile evolution independent of the given initial condition relying on a unique set of effective parameter values.

description: We genetically manipulated the major platelet vesicle-associated membrane proteins (VAMP2, VAMP3, and VAMP8) to create mice with varying degrees of disrupted platelet secretion. As previously shown, loss of VAMP8 reduced granule secretion, and this defect was exacerbated by further deletion of VAMP2 and VAMP3. VAMP2D3D82/2 platelets also had reduced VAMP7. Loss of VAMP2 and VAMP3 (VAMP2D3D) had a minimal impact on secretion when VAMP7 and VAMP8 were present. Integrin aIIbb3 activation and aggregation were not affected, although spreading was reduced in VAMP2D3D82/2 platelets.Using these mice as tools, we asked how much secretion is needed for proper thrombosis and hemostasis in vivo. VAMP2D3D mice showed no deficiency, whereas VAMP82/2 mice had attenuated formation of occlusive thrombi upon FeCl3-induced arterial injury but no excessive bleeding upon tail transection. VAMP2D3D82/2 mice bled profusely and failed to form occlusive thrombi. Plasma-coagulation factors were normal in all of the strains, but phosphatidylserine exposure was reduced in VAMP2D3D and VAMP2D3D82/2 platelets. From our data, an ;40% to 50% reduction in platelet secretion in vitro (dense and a granule) correlated with reduced occlusive thrombosis but no compromise in hemostasis. At a .50% reduction, thrombosis and hemostasis were defective in vivo. Our studies are the first systematic manipulation of platelet exocytic machinery to demonstrate a quantitative linkage between in vitro platelet secretion and hemostasis and thrombosis in vivo. The animals described will be invaluable tools for future investigations into how plateletsecretion affects other vascular processes.

description: A two-dimensional (2D) assembly of noninteracting, temperature-dependent, composite-boson Cooper pairs (CPs) in chemical and thermal equilibrium with unpaired fermions is examined in a binary boson-fermion statistical model as the superconducting singularity temperature is approached from above. The model is derived from {\it first principles} for the BCS model interfermion interaction from three extrema of the system Helmholtz free energy (subject to constant pairable-fermion number) with respect to: a) the pairable-fermion distribution function; b) the number of excited (bosonic) CPs, i.e., with nonzero total momenta--usually ignored in BCS theory--and with the appropriate (linear, as opposed to quadratic) dispersion relation that arises from the Fermi sea; and c) the number of CPs with zero total momenta. Compared with the BCS theory condensate, higher singularity temperatures for the Bose-Einstein condensate are obtained in the binary boson-fermion mixture model which are in rough agreement with empirical critical temperatures for quasi-2D superconductors

description: We present a catalogue of Giant Molecular Clouds (GMCs) in M33, extracted from cold dust continuum emission. Our GMCs are identified by computing dendrograms. We measure the spatial distribution of these clouds, and characterise their dust properties. Combining these measured properties with CO(J=2-1) and 21cm HI data, we calculate the gas-to-dust ratio (GDR) of these clouds, and from this compute a total cloud mass. In total, we find 165 GMCs with cloud masses in the range of 10$^4$-10$^7$ M$_\odot$. We find that radially, $\log_{10}(\mathrm{GDR}) = -0.043(\pm0.038) \,\mathrm{R [kpc]} + 1.88(\pm0.15)$, a much lower GDR than found in the Milky Way, and a correspondingly higher $α_{\rm CO}$ factor. The mass function of these clouds follows a slope proportional to M$^{-2.84}$, steeper than many previous studies of GMCs in local galaxies, implying that M33 is poorer at forming massive clouds than other nearby spirals. Whilst we can rule out interstellar pressure as the major contributing factor, we are unable to disentangle the relative effects of metallicity and HI velocity dispersion. We find a reasonably featureless number density profile with galactocentric radius, and weak correlations between galactocentric radius and dust temperature/mass. These clouds are reasonably consistent with Larson's scaling relationships, and many of our sources are co-spatial with earlier CO studies. Massive clouds are identified at large galactocentric radius, unlike in these earlier studies, perhaps indicating a population of CO-dark gas dominated clouds at these larger distances.

description: For a comprehensive understanding of planetary formation and evolution, we need to investigate the environment in which planets form: circumstellar disks. Here we present high-contrast imaging observations of V4046 Sagittarii, a 20-Myr-old close binary known to host a circumbinary disk. We have discovered the presence of rotating shadows in the disk, caused by mutual occultations of the central binary. Shadow-like features are often observed in disks\cite{garufi,marino15}, but those found thus far have not been due to eclipsing phenomena. We have used the phase difference due to light travel time to measure the flaring of the disk and the geometrical distance of the system. We calculate a distance that is in very good agreement with the value obtained from the Gaia mission's Data Release 2 (DR2), and flaring angles of $α= 6.2 \pm 0.6 $ deg and $α= 8.5 \pm 1.0 $ deg for the inner and outer disk rings, respectively. Our technique opens up a path to explore other binary systems, providing an independent estimate of distance and the flaring angle, a crucial parameter for disk modelling.

description: The amphipod Corophium volutator is a dominant bioturbator in the Wadden Sea, due to its great abundance. We analyzed this abundance and body size distribution of C. volutator, depending on mesh size, freshwater impact and vicinity to the dyke in 48 samples of seven locations at Wadden Sea Station (List, Sylt, Germany) on four days at the end of July 2024. We concluded that a 1000 µm mesh size is not recommended. Freshwater might have an impact but the input of organic material might be more relevant. The influence of proximity to the dyke is inconclusive and more precise data on sediment structure would be required.

description: Asteroidea are cosmopolitan opportunistic benthic predators and scavengers which can be found from shallow coastal waters to the hadopelagial depth of the open ocean. Naturally, prey items in these different habitats may vary. To elucidate the trophic dynamics of the common starfish Asterias rubens of the Wattenmeer in the north of Sylt at the city of List, we designed two separate food preference experiments. For the first experiment we starved A. rubens for 48 hours and then offered five different prey items: Mytilus edulis and Littorina littorea, with and without epizoic Semibalanus balanoides, and Didemnum coriaceum. For the second experiment we offered M. edulis without epizoic S. balanoides, one specimen being crushed and the other being intact. All experiments were conducted under laboratory conditions with singular specimen of A. rubens. Our results suggest differences in the prey choice of adult and juvenile specimen of A. rubens. The second food preference experiment with crushed and intact M. Mytilus did not yield any results. Our study highlights the challenges of recreating the abiotic conditions of the natural environment of epibenthic species in the laboratory. Ample starvation time is important when conducting food preference experiments with A. rubens.

description: Electroweak precision observables are calculated at complete 1-loop order in the extension of the standard model by an extra Higgs triplet, where the $ρ$-parameter can be different from unity already at the tree level. One additional data point is required for fixing the input parameters. In the on-shell renormalization scheme the leptonic mixing angle $\sin^2θ_e$ at the $Z$ peak is chosen, together with the conventional input $α, M_Z, G_μ, m_t$. The calculated observables depend on the mass of the doublet Higgs boson $H^0$ and on the masses of the extra non-standard Higgs bosons as free parameters. The predictions of the standard model and the triplet model coincide for all observables in the experimental range of the top mass $m_t=175\pm 6$ GeV. In the triplet model, all observables which show a dependence on the doublet Higgs mass $M_{H^0}$ are consistent with a low value of $M_{H^0}$.

description: We construct from first principles a perturbative framework for studying nonequilibrium quantum-field systems that include gauge bosons. The system of our concern is quasiuniform system near equilibrium or nonequilibrium quasistationary system. We employ the closed-time-path formalism and use the so-called gradient approximation. No further approximation is introduced. We construct a gauge-boson propagator, with which a well-defined perturbative framework is formulated. In the course of construction of the framework, we obtain the generalized Boltzmann equation (GBE) that describes the evolution of the number-density functions of gauge-bosonic quasiparticles. The framework allows us to compute the reaction rate for any process taking place in the system. Various processes, in turn, cause an evolution of the systems, which is described by the GBE.

description: Die Günderrode-Bibliothek geht auf die Bibliothek des Frankfurter Patriziers Johann Maximilian von Günderrode (1713–1784) zurück. Der studierte Jurist bekleidete in Hessen-Darmstädtischen, später in Hessen-Kasselschen Diensten verschiedene Verwaltungsfunktionen. Im Jahre 1756 erwarb er die Herrschaft Höchst an der Nidder. Hier trug er eine Bibliothek zum öffentlichen Gebrauch zusammen, die heute schätzungsweise 20.000 Bände umfasst. Der Schwerpunkt der Sammlung liegt im Staats- und Privatrecht und bei Hassiaca. Der Bestand, der seltene und kostbare Bände und Stücke mit Provenienzmerkmalen von lokaler Bedeutung beinhaltet, ist bisher nur in Form von Zettel- bzw. Bandkatalogen nachgewiesen. Zielsetzung des Projekts ist es, die Günderrode-Sammlung zunächst im HeBIS- Verbundkatalog und in einem zweiten Schritt in den nationalbibliografischen Verzeichnissen VD 16, VD 17 und VD 18 nachzuweisen. Mittelfristiges Ziel ist eine Digitalisierung der unikalen Bestände nach den DFG-Richtlinien, also Open-Access Bereitstellung im Internet und Erschließung des Digitalisats durch Strukturdaten.

description: Solar radio emission, especially at metre-wavelengths, is well known to vary over small spectral ($\lesssim$100\,kHz) and temporal ($<1$\,s) spans. It is comparatively recently, with the advent of a new generation of instruments, that it has become possible to capture data with sufficient resolution (temporal, spectral and angular) that one can begin to characterize the solar morphology simultaneously along the axes of time and frequency. This ability is naturally accompanied by an enormous increase in data volumes and computational burden, a problem which will only become more acute with the next generation of instruments such as the Square Kilometre Array (SKA). The usual approach, which requires manual guidance of the calibration process, is impractical. Here we present the "Automated Imaging Routine for Compact Arrays for the Radio Sun (AIRCARS)", an end-to-end imaging pipeline optimized for solar imaging with arrays with a compact core. We have used AIRCARS so far on data from the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) Phase-I. The dynamic range of the images is routinely from a few hundred to a few thousand. In the few cases, where we have pushed AIRCARS to its limits, the dynamic range can go as high as $\sim$75000. The images made represent a substantial improvement in the state-of-the-art in terms of imaging fidelity and dynamic range. This has the potential to transform the multi-petabyte MWA solar archive from raw visibilities into science-ready images. AIRCARS can also be tuned to upcoming telescopes like the SKA, making it a very useful tool for the heliophysics community.

Enhanced stability of layered phases in parallel hard-spherocylinders due to the addition of hard spheres

description: There is increasing evidence that entropy can induce microphase separation in binary fluid mixtures interacting through hard particle potentials. One such phase consists of alternating two dimensional liquid-like layers of rods and spheres. We study the transition from a uniform miscible state to this ordered state using computer simulations and compare results to experiments and theory. We conclude that (1) there is stable entropy driven microphase separation in mixtures of parallel rods and spheres, (2) adding spheres smaller then the rod length decreases the total volume fraction needed for the formation of a layered phase, therefore small spheres effectively stabilize the layered phase; the opposite is true for large spheres and (3) the degree of this stabilization increases with increasing rod length.

title: Engaging in CSR: The effect of perceived corporate greenwashing in the CSR fit-purchase intention relationship, depending on the sector’s social responsible reputation.

Year: 2018

description: Corporations have increasingly been engaging in corporate social responsibility (CSR). However, there are some inconsistent findings regarding the relationship between CSR fit and purchase intention. The aim of the current study is to examine what factors influence this relationship. Based on a literature review, CSR fit is proposed to negatively influence perceived corporate greenwashing (PCG) and this is moderated by a sector’s social responsible reputation (SSRR). PCG in turn influences purchase intentions negatively as well. It is concluded that corporations need to assess their SSRR and trust first, before deciding on which CSR activities they are going to engage in.

description: Thermodynamic properties of the square-lattice Holstein model of the electron-phonon problem with phonon frequencies small compared to the bare Fermi energy are obtained using Monte Carlo methods, a strong-coupling (bipolaronic) expansion, and a weak coupling Migdal-Eliashberg approach. Already at elevated temperatures where the charge-density wave (CDW) and superconducting (SC) correlations are very short-range, a crossover occurs as a function of increasing electron-phonon coupling, $λ_0$, from a normal metallic regime to a pseudogap regime. At sufficiently low $T$, a SC phase is found for small $λ_0$ and a commensurate insulating CDW phase for large $λ_0$.

description: In recent years, due to the rapid development of artificial intelligence systems and computer vision new neural network architectures appeared, which main function is to assess the three-dimensional posture of a person on one video stream. Posture assessment, signal analysis, and result generation for the end-user inevitably take some time, while in some cases the end-user needs immediate feedback. The author proposes a method of optimistic prediction of exercise repetitions count before the end of a specific iteration of the exercise during the analysis of the neural network output signal, which estimates the threedimensional position of a person. An example of the method is given on the basis of the exercise "squats", the calculation of which is performed using a state machine. This method is based on the addition of the exercise iteration counting state machine. This addition increments the counter in the middle of the exercise and performs the decrement if the exercise is declared invalid after the end of the exercise. Application of this method in algorithms of the analysis of exercise will allow emitting number of exercise repetitions without delay as the human coach does. This method is not specific to any particular neural network and therefore can be used at the output of almost any system that analyzes the sequence of positions of human joints in space using a state machine. The article also presents the test results of the proposed method. The proposed test method can be applied to any cyclic exercise.
