description: We report astrometric observations of H2O masers around the red supergiant VY Canis Majoris (VY CMa) carried out with VLBI Exploration of Radio Astrometry (VERA). Based on astrometric monitoring for 13 months, we successfully measured a trigonometric parallax of 0.88 +/- 0.08 mas, corresponding to a distance of 1.14 +0.11/-0.09 kpc. This is the most accurate distance to VY CMa and the first one based on an annual parallax measurement. The luminosity of VY CMa has been overestimated due to a previously accepted distance. With our result, we re-estimate the luminosity of VY CMa to be (3 +/- 0.5) x 10^5 L_sun using the bolometric flux integrated over optical and IR wavelengths. This improved luminosity value makes location of VY CMa on the Hertzsprung-Russel (HR) diagram much closer to the theoretically allowable zone (i.e. the left side of the Hayashi track) than previous ones, though uncertainty in the effective temperature of the stellar surface still does not permit us to make a final conclusion.

description: We introduce a toy model for the time-frequency structure of fast radio bursts (FRB), in which the observed emission is produced as a narrowly-peaked intrinsic spectral energy distribution sweeps down in frequency across the instrumental bandpass as a power-law in time. Though originally motivated by emission models which invoke a relativistic shock, the model could in principle apply to a wider range of emission scenarios. We quantify the burst's detectability using the frequency bandwidth over which most of its signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is accumulated. We demonstrate that by varying just a single parameter of the toy model-the power-law index βof the frequency drift rate-one can transform a long (and hence preferentially time-resolved) burst with a narrow time-integrated spectrum into a shorter burst with a broad power-law time-integrated spectrum. We suggest that burst-to-burst diversity in the value of βcould generate the dichotomy between burst duration and frequency-width recently found by CHIME. In shock models, the value of βis related to the radial density profile of external medium, which in light of the preferentially longer duration of bursts from repeating sources may point to diversity in the external environments surrounding repeating versus one-off FRB sources.

description: Micro lens array is crucial in various kinds of optical and electronic applications. A micro lens array with high numerical aperture (NA) and low aberration is in particular needed. This research is aimed to design and fabricate such a micro lens array with simple structure while keeps the same NA of a same-diameter hemisphere lens. A bi-convex semispherical micro lens array, with corresponding NA 0.379, by PDMS is first designed and analyzed. Experiments are further conducted to fabricate the designed micro lens array by the thermal reflow process. The formed profile is then sputtered with copper to serve as the mold. The front and the rear micro lens array are fabricated by plating PDMS to the mold and then assembled to form the designed micro lens array.

description: Progress in understanding the formation and evolution of planetary nebulae (PN) has been restricted by a paucity of well-determined central star masses. To address this deficiency we aim to (i) significantly increase the number of known eclipsing binary central stars of PN (CSPN), and subsequently (ii) directly obtain their masses and absolute dimensions by combining their light-curve parameters with planned radial velocity data. Using photometric data from the third phase of the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE) we have searched for periodic variability in a large sample of PN towards the Galactic Bulge using Fourier and phase-dispersion minimisation techniques. Among some dozen periodically variable CSPN found, we report here on three new eclipsing binaries: M 3-16, H 2-29 and M 2-19. We present images, confirmatory spectroscopy and light-curves of the systems.

description: This paper presents a numerical simulation and experimental results of a one-dimensional thermal inclinometer with the cavity filled of gas and liquid. The sensor principle consists of one heating resistor placed between two detectors. When the resistor is electrically powered, it creates a symmetrical temperature profile inside a micromachined silicon cavity. By applying a tilt to the sensor, the profile shifts in the same direction of the sensible axis corresponding to the horizontal one to one. The temperature profile and the sensitivity according to the CO2 gas and mineral oil SAE50 have been studied using numerical resolution of fluid dynamics equations with the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software package Fluent V6.2. We have shown that the sensitivity of liquid sensors is higher than the gas sensors one. By using micromachined silicon technique, a thermal inclinometer with one pair of detectors placed at 300 um from the heater has been made. Experimental measurements corroborate with the numerical simulation.

description: We study the notion of molecules in coorbit spaces. The main result states that if an operator, originally defined on an appropriate space of test functions, maps atoms to molecules, then it can be extended to a bounded operator on coorbit spaces. For time-frequency molecules we recover some boundedness results on modulation spaces, for time-scale molecules we obtain the boundedness on homogenous Besov spaces.

A deuterium magnetic resonance study of chain disorder in lamellar phases of mixed chain length
Creators: name: Tang, Wendy Wai Sau
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Deuterium nmr is used to investigate the temperature dependence of the orientational order of small amounts of perdeuterated potassium carboxylates of differing chain lengths dissolved as guests in the protiated host potassium paimitate. Additionally, samples containing lipids of a single chain length equal to that of each guest are studied for comparison. Long chain guests have the same orientational order as the host up to the 15th position, while the rest of the chain is orientationally disordered. Short chain guests are restricted inside the host and there is less interaction of the polar head with water than in the single chain length samples. Phase separation involving a rapid exchange of molecules between a lamellar phase and a possibly isotropic phase yields unexpectedly low splittings for the short chain guests at lower temperature and with higher water content.

Emotionalität und Expressivität. Über eine moralphilosophische Einsicht Max Schelers

description: Emotionality and expressivity. On a moral-philosophical insight of Max Scheler
From a historic point of view Max Scheler has always been considered as one of the most relevant founders of Philosophical Anthropology. Still today we can read his work Die Stellung des Menschen im Kosmos (1927/28) as a stimulating response to the deepened uncertainty of the human being in the modern age. The significance of Scheler for ethics, on the other hand, has been – not unreasonably – underestimated by many scholars. Der Formalismus in der Ethik und die materielle Werteethik (1913/16) is a quite bulky work which demands a lot even of a benevolent reader. Yet, it’s worth reading. I’ll focus the following reflections only on one aspect of his work: Scheler recognizes the fundamental relevance of emotionality and expressivity for the moral dimension of the human existence. To reconstruct this aspect, not only the Formalismusbuch, but also Scheler’s phenomenological analysis on Wesen und Formen der Sympathie (1913/23) are of great importance. Starting Point is Schelers critique of the Kantian ethics with its focus on rationality. Meaning Point is a discussion of Schelers concept of the „intentionality of value feeling“. The essay closes with a description of two connected values: the value of the other and the value of the self.

description: Das Rahmenpapier gibt zunächst einen Überblick über die Forschungsergebnisse zu den philosophischen und kulturwissenschaftlichen Grundlagen der Erinnerungstheorie. In den vorgelegten Aufsätzen wurden nicht einfach schon vorhandene philosophische Grundlagen aufgenommen und zusammengestellt, sondern hinsichtlich ihrer Relevanz für die Erinnerungsforschung zuallererst entwickelt, entfaltet und geschärft. Dies gilt vor allem für die Ausgangspunkte bei Ludwig Wittgenstein, John Locke und John L. Austin, die geeignet sind, die bis dato fehlende sprachphilosophische Reflektion für die Erinnerungstheorie fruchtbar zu machen. Wittgensteins und Austins hier einschlägige Texte stehen im Kontext der Sprachphilosophie und wurden zuvor nicht im Zusammenhang der memory studies gelesen, obwohl sie hier wichtige Impulse für die Debatten geben können. Im Anschluss an Wittgenstein zeige ich, wie die Argumente für die Unmöglichkeit eines rein privaten Erinnerns hilfreich sein können für ein fundiertes Verständnis des Umstands, dass Erinnerung immer ausgehandelt wird. Dies kann dann auch für die Untersuchung materialer Felder nutzbar gemacht werden, wie die später dargestellten Ergebnisse zu exemplarischen Kontexten vor allem aus deutscher Geschichte und Postkolonialen Kontexten zeigen.

description: Since the introduction of electronic cigarettes to the United States market in 2007, vaping prevalence has surged in both adult and adolescent populations. E-cigarettes are advertised as a safer alternative to traditional cigarettes and as a method of smoking cessation, but the U.S. government and health professionals are concerned that e-cigarettes attract young non-smokers. Here, we develop and analyze a dynamical systems model of competition between traditional and electronic cigarettes for users. With this model, we predict the change in smoking prevalence due to the introduction of vaping, and we determine the conditions under which e-cigarettes present a net public health benefit or harm to society.

Studies in LEED crystallography
Creators: name: Moore, William Thomas
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The work in this thesis involved assessments and applications of procedures used for determining surface geometrical structures with low energy electron diffraction (LEED), a subject that is now often referred to as LEED crystallography. Specific studies were made for the (311) surfaces of copper and nickel, and for the (0001) surface of zirconium. These surfaces were cut from high purity single crystal samples, studied under conditions of ultra-high vacuum, and characterized by LEED and Auger electron spectroscopy. The LEED crystallographic studies of the (311) surfaces of face-centered cubic metals represent the first investigations of stepped surfaces which employed multiple scattering calculations. In general, in this thesis, the multiple scattering calculations used the renormalized forward scattering and the layer doubling methods, and the experimental intensity versus energy curves for the diffracted electron beams were measured with our combined vidicon-photographic method. In these studies, many of the procedures currently employed in LEED crystallography were investigated, particularly in regard to their effects on surface geometry determinations. These procedures included smoothing raw experimental data, averaging beams that are expected to be equivalent from symmetry considerations, correcting measured intensities for effects of non-uniform grid transparency, and setting appropriate values for the suppressor grid voltage. In addition, consideration was given to investigating ways of dealing with numerical instabilities, which sometimes occur in the perturbative methods used for calculating LEED intensities, and assessments were made of the reliability index recently proposed by Pendry. The latter gives numerical values for the 'goodness of fit' between experimental and calculated intensity curves, and was compared especially with the index proposed previously by Zanazzi and Jona. Some consideration was also given to the question of assessing uncertainties in structural analyses based on the use of reliability indices. The topmost interlayer spacing in the (311) surfaces of copper and nickel are indicated to be contracted by about 5% and 14.5% respectively from the bulk spacings. Possible reasons for this difference are discussed in the thesis. By contrast, the (0001) surface of zirconium has a topmost spacing which is very close to the bulk value. Experimental intensity versus energy curves have also been measured for three surfaces involving oxygen adsorption on Zr(0001); one of these surfaces is designated Zr(0001)-(2x2)-O while the other two are both designated Zr(0001)-(1x1)-O. For the latter, one is believed to involve a monolayer coverage of oxygen atoms while the other probably involves oxygen incorporation into the surface region. The LEED intensity data for these oxygen structures, once they have been analyzed with multiple scattering calculations, should provide a basis for detailing structural aspects of the initial stages of the oxidation of Zr(0001).

description: We have followed a "molecular" approach to study impurity effects in graphene. This is thought as the limiting case of an infinitely large cluster of benzene rings. Therefore, we study several carbon clusters, with increasing size, from phenalene, including three benzene rings, up to coronene 61, with 61 benzene rings. The impurities considered were a chemisorbed H atom, a vacancy, and a substitutional proton. We performed HF and UHF calculations using the STO-3G basis set. With increasing cluster size in the absence of impurities, we find a decreasing energy gap, here defined as the HOMO-LUMO difference. In the case of H chemisorption or a vacancy, the gap does not decrease appreciably, whereas it is substantially reduced in the case of a substitutional proton. The presence of an impurity invariably induces an increase of the density of states near the HOMO level. We find a zero mode only in the case of a substitutional proton. In agreement with experiments, we find that both the chemisorbed H, the substitutional proton, and the C atom near a vacancy acquire a magnetic moment. The relevance of graphene clusters for the design of novel electronic devices is also discussed.

Verbal Autopsy Methods with Multiple Causes of Death

subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Verbal autopsy procedures are widely used for estimating cause-specific mortality in areas without medical death certification. Data on symptoms reported by caregivers along with the cause of death are collected from a medical facility, and the cause-of-death distribution is estimated in the population where only symptom data are available. Current approaches analyze only one cause at a time, involve assumptions judged difficult or impossible to satisfy, and require expensive, time-consuming, or unreliable physician reviews, expert algorithms, or parametric statistical models. By generalizing current approaches to analyze multiple causes, we show how most of the difficult assumptions underlying existing methods can be dropped. These generalizations also make physician review, expert algorithms and parametric statistical assumptions unnecessary. With theoretical results, and empirical analyses in data from China and Tanzania, we illustrate the accuracy of this approach. While no method of analyzing verbal autopsy data, including the more computationally intensive approach offered here, can give accurate estimates in all circumstances, the procedure offered is conceptually simpler, less expensive, more general, as or more replicable, and easier to use in practice than existing approaches. We also show how our focus on estimating aggregate proportions, which are the quantities of primary interest in verbal autopsy studies, may also greatly reduce the assumptions necessary for, and thus improve the performance of, many individual classifiers in this and other areas. As a companion to this paper, we also offer easy-to-use software that implements the methods discussed herein.

description: We present observations of SN 2020fqv, a Virgo-cluster Type II core-collapse supernova (CCSN) with a high temporal resolution light curve from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) covering the time of explosion; ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) starting 3.3 days post-explosion; ground-based spectroscopic observations starting 1.1~days post-explosion; along with extensive photometric observations. Massive stars have complicated mass-loss histories leading up to their death as CCSNe, creating circumstellar medium (CSM) with which the SNe interact. Observations during the first few days post-explosion can provide important information about the mass-loss rate during the late stages of stellar evolution. Model fits to the quasi-bolometric light curve of SN 2020fqv reveal ~0.23 $M_{\odot}$ of CSM confined within ~1450 $R_{\odot}$ ($10^{14}$ cm) from its progenitor star. Early spectra (<4 days post-explosion), both from HST and ground-based observatories, show emission features from high-ionization metal species from the outer, optically thin part of this CSM. We find that the CSM is consistent with an eruption caused by the injection of $\sim$$5\times 10^{46}$ erg into the stellar envelope $\sim$300 days pre-explosion, potentially from a nuclear burning instability at the onset of oxygen burning. Light-curve fitting, nebular spectroscopy, and pre-explosion \textit{HST} imaging consistently point to a red supergiant (RSG) progenitor with $M_{\rm ZAMS}$$\approx$$13.5$--$15 \, M_{\odot}$, typical for SN~II progenitor stars. This finding demonstrates that a typical RSG, like the progenitor of SN 2020fqv, has a complicated mass-loss history immediately before core collapse.

description: The anchoring biofilm layer is expected to exhibit a different response to environmental stresses than for portions in the bulk, due to the protection from other strata and the proximity to the attachment surface. The effect of hydrodynamic stress on surface-adhered biofilm layers was tested using a specially designed microfluidic bio flow cell with an embedded three-electrode detection system. In situ electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements of biocapacitance and bioresistance of Pseudomonas sp. biofilms were conducted during the growth phase and under different shear flow conditions with verification by other surface sensitive techniques. Distinctive, but reversible changes to the amount of biofilm and its structure at the attachment surface were observed during the application of elevated shear stress. In contrast, regular microscopy revealed permanent distortion to the biofilm bulk, in the form of streamers and ripples. Following the application of extreme shear stresses, complete removal of significant portions of biofilm outer layers occurred, but this did not change the measured quantity of biofilm at the electrode attachment surface. The structure of the remaining biofilm, however, appeared to be modified and susceptible to further changes following application of shear stress directly to the unprotected biofilm layers at the attachment surface.

description: This paper reports on formation of high aspect micro patterns on low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) substrates by integrating micro inkjetting with electroless plating. Micro inkjetting was realized by using an inkjetting printer that ejects ink droplets from a printhead. This printhead consists of a glass nozzle with a diameter of 50 micrometers and a piezoelectric transducer that is coated on the nozzle. The silver colloidal solution was inkjetted on a sintered CT800 ceramic substrate, followed by curing at 200 degrees C for 60 minutes. As a result, the silver trace with a thickness of 200 nm was obtained. The substrate, with the ejected silver thin film as the seed layer, was then immersed into a preinitiator solution to coat a layer of palladium for enhancing the deposition of nickel. Electroless nickel plating was successfully conducted at a rate of 0.39 micrometers /min, and the thickness of traces was plated up to 84 micrometers. This study demonstrates that the integration of inkjetting with plating is an effective method to form high aspect patterns at the demand location.

Kinetic studies of O(¹S) formation from atomic oxygen recombination
Creators: name: Wassell, Peter Thomas
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The molecular and atomic dependencies of the O(¹S) emission have been studied in the laboratory by generating oxygen atoms in a discharge flow system. The intensity of the emission is found to have the dependence [See thesis for equation] where M is the total particle concentration in the system. From absolute measurements of the O(¹S) atomic line, the overall rate constant k[sub T] is found to be equal to 2.7 ± 0.3 x 10⁻²⁷cm⁶s⁻¹ at 300K. The observed dependence is shown to be inconsistent with the proposed Chapman mechanism for the excitation of O(¹S) [See thesis for equation] (1) However the observations are found to be in agreement with a "Barth-type" mechanism, where a metastable oxygen molecule (O₂*) is formed in the recombination of two oxygen atoms in the presence of a third body, [See thesis for equation] (2) followed by energy transfer to a third oxygen atom to form O(¹S) [See thesis for equation] (3) and the radiative emission of O(¹S) at 557.7 nm. The possible electronic states of O₂ corresponding to O₂* are dis-cussed. Although the identity of the O₂* remains to be found, the major loss process of this intermediate is found to be quenching by atomic oxygen in [See thesis for equation] (4) rather than by molecular oxygen or argon [See thesis for equation] quenched products (5) [See thesis for equation] quenched products (6) Until recently the major quencher of O(¹S) was thought to be the ground-state oxygen atom [See thesis for equation] quenched products (7) However, in this system, the dependence of the 557.7 nm emission found to be consistent with the predominate quenching of O(¹S) by O₂(a¹Δg): [See thesis for equation] quenched products (8) The rate constant k₈ is estimated to be 7 ± 3 x 10⁻¹⁰cm³ s⁻¹ by comparison for quenching of O(¹S) by O₂. [See thesis for equation] quenched products (9) O₂(a¹Δg) is expected to be present in all laboratory systems involving atomic oxygen due to its formation by either heterogeneous or homogeneous recombination of O[³P]. Due to the magnitude of k₈, O₂(a¹Δg) is expected to be the major quencher of O(¹S) in most of these systems. Using currently accepted values for the concentration of O₂(a¹Δg) in the terrestrial nightglow layer, the quenching of O(¹S) by O₂(a¹Δg) is found to be unimportant in this region compared to its radiative decay. Other atmospheric implications of this investigation's results are discussed.

description: This presentation on Open Science is part of the research secondment of Benjamin Stewart during his exchange to Instituto Mora in Mexico City. The workshop explored Open Science and the promises and challenges for science and society. After briefly covering the definition, history and application of Open Science policies, Stewart illustrated why they are relevant and what barriers and concerns there are for implementation. The workshop engaged with the challenges of universalising access to knowledge in a world with a plurality of epistemic communities and developmental agendas. The workshop highlighted the role that digitalisation plays in implementing Open Science policies and what that means for sustainable development.

title: Spiritual Pathfinders _ Identity and Transformation in Contemporary Alternatives to Institutionalised Religion
Creators: name: Linders, E
Publisher: name: Liverpool John Moores University
Year: 2021

description: This doctoral research thesis aims to provide a comprehensive depiction of contemporary spiritual engagement outside of religious tradition. Existing research is primarily contextualized within the areas of sociology and religious studies, and an in-depth psychological evaluation of those who self-define as spiritual but not religious (SBNR) is underrepresented. Using the qualitative method of heuristic research, the experiences of twenty participants with long-term involvement in self-directed spirituality are explored. The core-activity of consistent psycho-spiritual engagement is referred to as “spiritual pathfinding”. Whilst the pathfinding journey is found to be a highly individual experience, the research uncovered themes across participants which are explicated in this report. The data reveals that spiritual pathfinding is characterized by the supplementation, hybridisation, and re-evaluation of both traditional and new spiritual pathways in synthesis with psychological inquiry and process. Further findings concern an emphasis on intuition and somatic signals to navigate the spiritual path. Choices are based on resonance with personal process with the aim of self-transformation, understood as an awakening to - and integration with - a multidimensional or transpersonal selfhood. This denotes the changing meaning of transcendence in contemporary spiritual engagement as an alignment with an inner spiritual core beyond the everyday self. The transpersonal selfhood is understood by participants to interconnect with a collective field of consciousness, experienced as a personal responsivity and responsibility towards the whole. More research would be required to determine if spiritual pathfinding is a consistent core-activity - or represents a subset in the SBNR. Results however indicate that contemporary spiritual engagement reflects a distinct psycho-spiritual orientation involving challenge, complexity, and commitment. The current report thereby supports findings from sociological research that SBNR constitutes a viable alternative to religion and atheism.
