description: Detection of Ultra High Energy Neutrinos (UHEN), with energy above 0.l EeV (10**18 eV) is one of the most exciting challenges of high energy astrophysics and particle physics. In this article we show that the Auger Observatories, built to study ultra high energy cosmic rays, are one of the most sensitive neutrino telescopes that will be available in the next decade. Furthermore, we point out that the Waxman-Bahcall upper bound for high energy neutrino fluxes below 1 EeV turns into a lower bound above a few EeV. In this framework and given the experimental evidences for nu_mu nu_tau oscillations with large mixing, we conclude that observation of Tau UHEN in the southern Auger Observatory should most certainly occur within the next five years.

description: In the present work, a traditional quantity, the averaged fidelity, is introduced as the steering parameter. From the definitions of steering from Alice to Bob and the joint measurability, a general scheme is developed to design linear steering criteria. For a given set of measurements on Bob's side, the so-called nonsteering threshold is defined to quantify the ability to detect steering. If the measured averaged fidelity exceeds this threshold, it is shown that the state shared by Alice and Bob is steerable from Alice to Bob, and the measurements performed by Alice are also verified to be incompatible. Within the general scheme, a discussion about how to design optimal criteria is provided for two different scenarios: (a) to find the optimal measurements on Bob's side when the state is unknown and (b) to find the optimal measurements for Alice when the state and the measurements on Bob's side are given.

Can integrated titles improve the viewing experience? Investigating the impact of subtitling on the reception and enjoyment of film using eye tracking and questionnaire data

description: Historically a dubbing country, Germany is not well-known for subtitled productions. But while dubbing is predominant in Germany, more and more German viewers prefer original and subtitled versions of their favourite shows and films. Conventional subtitling, however, can be seen as a strong intrusion into the original image that can not only disrupt but also destroy the director’s intended shot composition and focus points. Long eye movements between focus points and subtitles decrease the viewer’s information intake, and especially German audiences, who are often not used to subtitles, seem to prefer to wait for the next subtitle instead of looking back up again. Furthermore, not only the placement, but also the overall design of conventional subtitles can disturb the image composition – for instance titles with a weak contrast, inappropriate typeface or irritating colour system. So should it not, despite the translation process, be possible to preserve both image and sound as far as possible? Especially given today’s numerous artistic and technical possibilities and the huge amount of work that goes into the visual aspects of a film, taking into account not only special effects, but also typefaces, opening credits and text-image compositions. A further development of existing subtitling guidelines would not only express respect towards the original film version but also the translator’s work. The presented study shows how integrated titles can increase information intake while maintaining the intended image composition and focus points as well as the aesthetics of the shot compositions. During a three-stage experiment, the specifically for this purpose created integrated titles in the documentary “Joining the Dots” by director Pablo Romero-Fresco were analysed with the help of eye movement data from more than 45 participants. Titles were placed based on the gaze behaviour of English native speakers and then rated by German viewers dependant on a German translation. The results show that a reduction of the distance between intended focus points and titles allow the viewers more time to explore the image and connect the titles to the plot. The integrated titles were rated as more aesthetically pleasing and reading durations were shorter than with conventional subtitles. Based on the analysis of graphic design and filmmaking rules as well as conventional subtitling standards, a first workflow and set of placement strategies for integrated titles were created in order to allow a more respectful handling of film material as well as the preservation of the original image composition and typographic film identity.

description: Objective: In higher education, student engagement is critical to producing high quality graduates with the knowledge, skills, and attributes of their degree. Psychology education in Australia is based on the scientist-practitioner model of training, whereby students are typically taught the science of psychology in the undergraduate years and commence practitioner training in the postgraduate years (Australian Psychology Accreditation Council [APAC], 2010; Australian Psychological Society [APS], 2012). In recent years, psychology education in Australia has been under review in an attempt to maximise the graduate outcomes of undergraduate and postgraduate training. However, research suggests that students’ expectations of psychology education are often poorly aligned with their actual experience of psychology training, resulting in poor motivation, engagement, and retention (Holmes, 2014). To ensure psychology students acquire the intended graduate outcomes, it is important to understand student motivation towards the three core learning domains of psychology: theoretical knowledge, research skills, and practice (communication and interpersonal skills). This thesis is comprised of a series of published and unpublished papers, which take an expectancy-value approach (Eccles & Wigfield, 2002) to investigating psychology students’ motivation towards these three core learning domains.

description: In this work the nucleation kinetics of propane gas hydrate has been investigated experimentally using a stirred batch reactor. The experiments have been performed isothermally recording the pressure as a function of time. Experiments were conducted at different stirring rates, but in the same supersaturation region. The experiments showed that the gas dissolution rate rather than the induction time of propane hydrate is influenced by a change in the stirring rate. This was especially valid at high stirring rates when the water surface was severely disturbed. Addition of polyvinylpyrrolidone to the aqueous phase was found to reduce the gas dissolution rate slightly, however the induction times were prolonged quite substantially. The induction time data were correlated using a newly developed induction time model based on crystallization theory also capable of taking into account the presence of additives. In most cases reasonable agreement between the data and the model could be obtained. The results revealed that especially the effective surface energy between propane hydrate and water is likely to change when the stirring rate varies from very high to low. The prolongation of induction times according to the model is likely to be due to a change in the nuclei-substrate contact angle.

description: Let a compact Lie group act ergodically on a unital $C^*$-algebra $A$. We consider several ways of using this structure to define metrics on the state space of $A$. These ways involve length functions, norms on the Lie algebra, and Dirac operators. The main thrust is to verify that the corresponding metric topologies on the state space agree with the weak-$*$ topology.

Risk assessment

description: In this thesis, we analyze the computational problem of estimating financial risk in nested Monte Carlo simulation. An outer simulation is used to generate financial scenarios, and an inner simulation is used to estimate future portfolio values in each scenario. Mean squared error (MSE) for standard nested simulation converges at the rate $k^{-2/3}$, where $k$ is the computational budget.
      In the first part of this thesis, we focus on one risk measure, the probability of a large loss, and we propose a new algorithm to estimate this risk. Our algorithm sequentially allocates computational effort in the inner simulation based on marginal changes in the risk estimator in each scenario. Theoretical results are given to show that the risk estimator has an asymptotic MSE of order $k^{-4/5+\epsilon}$, for all positive $\epsilon$, that is faster compared to the conventional uniform inner sampling approach. Numerical results consistent with the theory are presented.
      In the second part of this thesis, we introduce a regression-based nested Monte Carlo simulation method for risk estimation. The proposed regression method combines information from different risk factor realizations to provide a better estimate of the portfolio loss function. The MSE of the regression method converges at the rate $k^{-1}$ until reaching an asymptotic bias level which depends on the magnitude of the regression error. Numerical results consistent with our theoretical analysis are provided and numerical comparisons with other methods are also given.
      In the third part of this thesis, we propose a method based on weighted regression. Similar to the unweighted regression method, the MSE of the weighted regression method converges at the rate $k^{-1}$ until reaching an asymptotic bias level, which depends on the size of the regression error. However, the weighted approach further reduces MSE by emphasizing scenarios that are more important to the calculation of the risk measure. We find a globally optimal weighting strategy for general risk measures in an idealized setting. For applications, we propose and test a practically implementable two-pass method, where the first pass uses an unweighted regression and the second pass uses weights based on the first pass.

description: Take the degenerate affine Hecke algebra $H_{l+m}$ corresponding to the group $GL_{l+m}$ over a $p$-adic field. Consider the $H_{l+m}$-module $W$ induced from the tensor product of the evaluation modules over the algebras $H_l$ and $H_m$. The module $W$ depends on two partitions $λ$ of $l$ and $μ$ of $m$, and on two complex numbers $z$ and $w$. There is a canonical operator $J$ acting in $W$, it corresponds to the rational Yang $R$-matrix. The algebra $H_{l+m}$ contains the symmetric group $S_{l+m}$, and $J$ commutes with the action of $S_{l+m}$ in $W$. Under this action, $W$ decomposes into irreducible subspaces according to the Littlewood-Richardson rule. We compute the eigenvalues of $J$, corresponding to certain multiplicity-free irreducible components of $W$. In particular, we obtain a nice formula for the ratio of two eigenvalues of $J$, corresponding to the "highest" and "lowest" (multiplicity-free) irreducible components of $W$.

In this paper, we find all integers $ c $ with at least two representations as a difference between a $ k $-generalized Fibonacci number and a power of $ 3 $. This paper continues the previous work of the first author for the Fibonacci numbers, and the Tribonacci numbers.

description: The Feynman path integral is used to quantize the symplectic leaves of the Poisson-Lie group SU(2)*. In this way we obtain the unitary representations of U_q(su(2)). This is achieved by finding explicit Darboux coordinates and then using a phase space path integral. I discuss the *-structure of SU(2)* and give a detailed description of its leaves using various parametrizations and also compare the results with the path integral quantization of spin.

description: Understanding the deep biosphere is of great commercial and scientific interest and will contri-bute to increased knowledge of the environment. If environmentally relevant results are to be ob-tained the precondition to achieve genuine findings is research in pristine habitat as close as pos-sible to those encountered in-situ. Therefore benthic conditions of sediment structure and gas hydrates, temperature, pressure and bio-geochemistry have to be maintained during the sequences of sampling, retrieval, transfer, sto-rage and downstream analysis. At the Technische Universität Berlin (TUB) the Pressurized Core Sub-Sampling and Extrusion System (PRESS) was developed in the EU project HYACE/HYACINTH. It enables well-defined sectioning and transfer of drilled pressure-cores [obtained by HYACE Rotary Corer (HRC) and Fugro Pressure Corer (FPC)] into transportation and investigation chambers. Coupled with DeepIsoBUG (University Cardiff, John Parkes) it allows sub-sampling and incubation of coaxial core-sections to examine high-pressure adapted bacteria or remote biogeochemical processes in defined research conditions of the laboratory; all sterile, anaerobic and without depressurisation. Appraisals of successful PRESS deployments in the Gulf of Mexico, on IODP Expedition 311 and as part of the NGHP expedition 01 demonstrate the general concept to be feasible and useful. Aided by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) TUB is currently working on concepts to downscale the system in order to reduce logistical and financial expenses and, likewise, to enlarge its implementation by requiring less operating space. Redesigning the cutting mechanism shall simultaneously adjust the system to harder cores (e.g., ICDP). Novel transportation chambers for processed sub-samples intend to make the system more attractive for a broad spectrum of users and reduce their interdependence.

description: Probabilistic independence is a useful concept for describing the result of random sampling---a basic operation in all probabilistic languages---and for reasoning about groups of random variables. Nevertheless, existing verification methods handle independence poorly, if at all. We propose a probabilistic separation logic PSL, where separation models probabilistic independence. We first give a new, probabilistic model of the logic of bunched implications (BI). We then build a program logic based on these assertions, and prove soundness of the proof system. We demonstrate our logic by verifying information-theoretic security of cryptographic constructions for several well-known tasks, including private information retrieval, oblivious transfer, secure multi-party addition, and simple oblivious RAM. Our proofs reason purely in terms of high-level properties, like independence and uniformity.

description: Family Mobulidae   Two species of Mobula have previously been recorded from Bangladesh; Mobula mobular and M. kuhlii ( Hoq et al. 2011; Roy et al. 2014a ). In this study, M. birostris, M. tarapacana, M. eregoodoo and M. thurstoni (Figure 13) were recorded following examination of 97 mobulid specimens. Genetic analysis confirmed species identification for M. tarapacana, M. kuhlii and M. mobular, and the presence of either M. alfredi or M. birostris, but the NADH2 sequences alone cannot distinguish between these two species due to overlapping sequence polymorphism (G. Naylor, unpubl. data). This study confirms the presence of at least six mobulid species in Bangladesh; M. alfredi or M. birostris, M. eregoodoo, M. kuhlii, M. mobular, M. tarapacana and M. thurstoni where M. thurstoni has been reported for the first time with possible presence of M. alfredi.

description: We present a model of an outburst of the soft X-ray transient A0620-003. A two-dimensional time-dependent smoothed particle hydrodynamics scheme is used to simulate the evolution of the accretion disc through a complete outburst. The scheme includes the full tidal potential of the binary and a simple treatment of the thermal-viscous disc instability. In the case where the mass accretion rate onto the primary determines the fraction of the disc that can be kept in a hot, high viscosity state by the resulting X-ray emission, we find that the shape of the X-ray light curve is ultimately determined by the relative sizes of the irradiated and unirradiated parts of the disc and the growth time-scale of the tidal instability. The model accounts for the rebrightening that has been observed in the light curves of A0620-003 and several other transients. The primary maximum and subsequent decline are due to the accretion of gas within the irradiated portion of the disc, while the secondary maximum is caused by the accretion of gas in the outer part of the disc that is initially shadowed from the central X-rays, but subject to tidal forces. We propose that tidal effects at the disc edge can be sufficient to drive accretion on a time-scale shorter than that expected for a standard alpha-viscosity disc. The final decay is subsequently controlled by the gradual retreat of the irradiated portion of the disc. If the entire disc is kept in the high-viscosity state by the irradiation, no rebrightening is possible.

description: Wide-band Electromagnetic Induction Sensors (WEMI) have been used for a number of years in subsurface detection of explosive hazards. While WEMI sensors have proven effective at localizing objects exhibiting large magnetic responses, detecting objects lacking or containing very low amounts of conductive materials can be challenging. In this paper, we compare a number of target detection algorithms in the literature in terms of detection performance. In the comparison, methods are tested on two real-world data sets: one containing relatively low amounts of ground noise pollution, and the other demonstrating highly-magnetic soil interference. Results are quantitatively evaluated through receiver-operator characteristic (ROC) curves and are used to highlight the strengths and weaknesses of the compared approaches in hand-held explosive hazard detection.

description: This arts-based research investigates the ways in which contemporary transcultural artists (a category in which I include myself) have harnessed the frictions and tensions of cultural difference to develop their practices. Transcultural artists are understood in this research to be those who experience, adopt, and work across multiple cultures based on their heritage and upbringing. Two examples of such artists are Australian Aboriginal Tony Albert and Vietnamese-American Dinh Q. Lê, who are discussed in this exegesis. Both artists leverage cultural difference to create artworks that offer alternate and deeper understandings of identities, and reveal forgotten or neglected voices and narratives of the past. They work across multiple platforms and spaces, highlighting the important role transcultural visual artists play in broadening definitions of art, artmaking, and art audiences. This exegesis draws on postcolonial theories, artistic fields, and cultural and historical contexts to contextualise my studio outcomes, including the history of Australian national identity, the series of events that led to my family’s migration to Australia, and the continued representation of Hmong as Other in Australia and the diaspora. As a first-generation Hmong-Australian, I have often felt the strain of cultural difference. Rather than dissuade or resolve the frictions and tensions of cultural difference, I have used these productively within my arts practice. The works I have produced throughout my doctoral candidature reimagines tropes of Hmong-Australian identity in ways that are playful and inclusive of my lived experiences. I have also reinterpreted past events associated with my family’s experiences of war and migration, drawing on personal memories, my father’s oral stories, family mementos, recorded documentation, and artefacts. To circumvent being pigeonholed as an ‘ethnic’ artist, I have worked across multiple disciplines and expanded my role as an artist by positioning my work within traditional and non-traditional art exhibiting spaces and contexts. These outcomes have reached those who are often marginalised by art institutions, as I have engaged them in both making and viewing art.

description: In present study, the magnetic structure and spin reorientation of mixed doped orthoferrite Nd$_{0.5}$Dy$_{0.5}$FeO$_3$ have been investigated. Similar to both parent compounds (NdFeO$_3$ and DyFeO$_3$), the magnetic structure of Fe$^{3+}$ belongs to $Γ_{4}$ irreducible representation (G$_{x}$, F$_{z}$) at room temperature. The experimental measurements confirmed the spin reorientation where magnetic structure of Fe$^{3+}$ changes from $Γ_{4}$ to $Γ_{2}$(F$_{x}$, G$_{z}$) between 75 and 20 \,K while maintaining G-type configuration. Such a gradual spin reorientation is unusual since the large single ion anisotropy of Dy$^{3+}$ ions causes an abrupt $Γ_{4}$${\rightarrow}$ $Γ_{1}$(G$_{y}$) spin reorientation in DyFeO$_3$. Between 20 and 10 \,K, the Fe$^{3+}$ magnetic structure is represented by $Γ_{2}$ (F$_{x}$, G$_{z}$). Unexpectedly, magnetic structure of Fe$^{3+}$ with $Γ_{4}$ representation re-emerges below 10\,K which also coincides with the development of rare-earth (Nd$^{3+}$/Dy$^{3+}$) magnetic ordering having C$_{y}$ configuration with magnetic moment of 1.8 $μ_{B}$. The absence of any signature of second order phase transition in the specific heat confirms the role of $R$(Nd$^{3+}$/Dy$^{3+}$)-Fe$^{3+}$ exchange interaction in the observed "rare-earth ordering" unlike DyFeO$_3$ where Dy$^{3+}$ ordering takes place independently to the magnetic ordering of Fe$^{3+}$ magnetic structure. Our (DFT+U+SO) calculations show that the C-type arrangement of rare-earth ions (Nd$^{3+}$/Dy$^{3+}$) with $Γ_{2}$ configuration for Fe$^{3+}$ moments is the ground state whereas $Γ_{4}$ phase is energetically very close. Nd-Fe and Nd-Dy exchange interactions, estimated from DFT, are observed to have significant roles in the rare earth ordering and Fe spin reorientation corroborating our experimental results.

description: This mixed-method study explored academic staff perceptions of Teaching Quality (TQ) in Saudi Faculties of Education (SFE). The aims of the study were (1) to explore the extent to which academic staff in SFE perceive teaching quality indicators (TQIs) as important for achieving TQ in SFE; (2) the extent that academic staff apply TQIs in their teaching practices; (3) to identify barriers related to the application of TQIs; (4) to investigate what the academic staff in SFE perceive as the most important requirements for achieving TQ in SFE; and (5) to understand what demographic variables affect academic staff perceptions of the levels of importance, applications of TQIs and requirements for achieving TQ. To achieve these aims, a sequential mixed method design was adopted, including two phases of data collection. The quantitative phase involved the online surveying of 467 academic staff members at 21 Faculties of Education across Saudi Arabian Universities. This was followed by a qualitative phase, using semi-structured interviews with 16 academic staff. Data analysis indicated that although academic staff perceived the TQIs to be important in achieving teaching quality, a low level of application of these TQIs was found, suggesting a substantial gap between academic staff members’ endorsement of TQIs as important to achieve TQ, and their level of application in SFE. The greatest discrepancy between importance and application was in the area of professional development. A number of barriers to application of TQIs were found, including a lack of policy and planning, lack of educational technology resources, lack of professional development quality, lack of time, large class sizes, and lack of feedback.

description: The complementary information found in different modalities of patient data can aid in more accurate modelling of a patient's disease state and a better understanding of the underlying biological processes of a disease. However, the analysis of multi-modal, multi-omics data presents many challenges, including high dimensionality and varying size, statistical distribution, scale and signal strength between modalities. In this work we compare the performance of a variety of ensemble machine learning algorithms that are capable of late integration of multi-class data from different modalities. The ensemble methods and their variations tested were i) a voting ensemble, with hard and soft vote, ii) a meta learner, iii) a multi-modal Adaboost model using a hard vote, a soft vote and a meta learner to integrate the modalities on each boosting round, the PB-MVBoost model and a novel application of a mixture of experts model. These were compared to simple concatenation as a baseline. We examine these methods using data from an in-house study on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), along with four validation datasets on studies from breast cancer and irritable bowel disease (IBD). Using the area under the receiver operating curve as a measure of performance we develop models that achieve a performance value of up to 0.85 and find that two boosted methods, PB-MVBoost and Adaboost with a soft vote were the overall best performing models. We also examine the stability of features selected, and the size of the clinical signature determined. Finally, we provide recommendations for the integration of multi-modal multi-class data.

description: We examine the dynamics of small anisotropic particles (spheroids) sedimenting through homogeneous isotropic turbulence using direct numerical simulations and theory. The gravity-induced inertial torque acting on sub-Kolmogorov spheroids leads to pronouncedly non-Gaussian orientation distributions localized about the broadside-on(to gravity) orientation. Orientation distributions and average settling velocities are obtained over a wide range of spheroid aspect ratios, Stokes and Froude numbers. Orientational moments from the simulations compare well with analytical predictions in the inertialess rapid-settling limit, with both exhibiting a non-monotonic dependence on spheroid aspect ratio. Deviations arise at Stokes numbers of order unity due to a spatially inhomogeneous particle concentration field resulting from a preferential sweeping effect; as a consequence, the time-averaged particle settling velocities exceed the orientationally averaged estimates.

description: Tissue maintenance and development requires a directed plane of cell division. While it is clear that the division plane can be determined by retraction fibres that guide spindle movements, the precise molecular components of retraction fibres that control spindle movements remain unclear. We report MARK2/Par1b kinase as a novel component of actin-rich retraction fibres. A kinase-dead mutant of MARK2 reveals MARK2's ability to monitor subcellular actin status during interphase. During mitosis, MARK2's localization at actin-rich retraction fibres, but not the rest of the cortical membrane or centrosome, is dependent on its activity, highlighting a specialized spatial regulation of MARK2. By subtly perturbing the actin cytoskeleton, we reveal MARK2's role in correcting mitotic spindle off-centring induced by actin disassembly. We propose that MARK2 provides a molecular framework to integrate cortical signals and cytoskeletal changes in mitosis and interphase.
Attainability property for a probabilistic target in Wasserstein spaces

description: In this paper we establish an attainability result for the minimum time function of a control problem in the space of probability measures endowed with Wasserstein distance. The dynamics is provided by a suitable controlled continuity equation, where we impose a nonlocal nonholonomic constraint on the driving vector field, which is assumed to be a Borel selection of a given set-valued map. This model can be used to describe at a macroscopic level a so-called \emph{multiagent system} made of several possible interacting agents.

description: We introduce a framework to decompose a bosonic mode into two virtual subsystems-a logical qubit and a gauge mode. This framework allows the entire toolkit of qubit-based quantum information to be applied in the continuous-variable setting. We give a detailed example based on a modular decomposition of the position basis and apply it in two situations. First, we decompose Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill grid states and find that the encoded logical state can be damaged due to entanglement with the gauge mode. Second, we identify and disentangle qubit cluster states hidden inside of Gaussian continuous-variable cluster states.

description: We observed the Seyfert 1 galaxy Mrk 509 simultaneously with Chandra/HETG, HST/STIS and RXTE. We measure strong absorption lines from He-like Ne and Mg, and from H-like N, O, and Ne. The lines are unresolved except for Ne Lya and Ne IX(r). The absorption-line profiles are blueshifted by ~200 km/s with respect to the systemic velocity of Mrk 509, and there is a hint of another component near systemic. The soft X-ray spectrum can be described in remarkable detail with a simple, single-zone photoionized absorber with a column density of 2.06 (+0.39,-0.45) x 10^21 cm^-2 and an ionization parameter of log{xi} = 1.76 (+0.13,-0.14) (or log{U}=0.27). The UV data, on the other hand, can easily detect eight kinematic components, covering roughly the same velocities as the X-ray absorption profiles. Even though the X-ray and UV absorbers share the same velocity space, the UV absorbers have a much smaller column density and ionization state. We show that models of the X-ray data do not predict significant UV absorption and are therefore consistent with the UV data. The UV absorbers could be embedded in the X-ray absorber, as a multiphase medium. Finally, we do not detect any soft X-ray emission lines.

Transport signatures of a quantum spin Hall - chiral topological superconductor junction

description: We investigate transport through a normal-superconductor (NS) junction made from a quantum spin Hall (QSH) system with helical edge states and a two-dimensional (2D) chiral topological superconductor (TSC) having a chiral Majorana edge mode. We employ a two-dimensional extended four-band model for HgTe-based quantum wells in a magnetic (Zeeman) field and subject to s-wave superconductivity. We show using the Bogoliubov-de Gennes scattering formalism that this structure provides a striking transport signal of a 2D TSC. As a function of the sample width (or Fermi energy) the conductance resonances go through a sequence of $2e^2/h$ (non-trivial phase) and $4e^2/h$ plateaux (trivial phase) which fall within the region of a non-zero Chern number (2D limit) as the sample width becomes large. These signatures are a manifestation of the topological nature of the QSH effect and the TSC.

description: Let X2k be a set of 2k labeled points in convex position in the plane. We consider geometric non-intersecting straight-line perfect matchings of X2k. Two such matchings, M and M′, are disjoint compatible if they do not have common edges, and no edge of M crosses an edge of M′. Denote by DCMk the graph whose vertices correspond to such matchings, and two vertices are adjacent if and only if the corresponding matchings are disjoint compatible. We show that for each k≥9, the connected components of DCMk form exactly three isomorphism classes - namely, there is a certain number of isomorphic small components, a certain number of isomorphic medium components, and one big component. The number and the structure of small and medium components is determined precisely.
