description: Objective This thesis aims to challenge the way in which Psychopathic Personality Disorder is defined and understood. There is a major emphasis on PPD’s ability to predict (and some argue explain) criminal behaviour, which leads to a heterogeneity of individuals labelled with PPD and confusion about the direction conceptual development of the disorder takes. Method In total 1,057 pupils from 37 secondary schools and 2 pupil referral units from North London, Hertfordshire, and Cambridgeshire completed the questionnaire. The aim was to capture the full spectrum of morality, rule-breaking behaviour, and PPD. By having a large number of pupils complete the questionnaire, knowledge could be gained on how morality interacts with PPD in leading towards or away from rule-breaking behaviour. Results Morality was shown to moderate the relationship between PPD and rule-breaking behaviour, indicating that those who scored high on PPD dimensions not only varied in their levels of morality but also varied in their levels of rule-breaking behaviour. These findings support the concerns raised by Ronald Blackburn (1988) and John Gunn (1998) about the heterogeneity of individuals with PPD. Predetermined morality within the concept of PPD is only present due to its relationship to rule-breaking behaviour and criminal behaviour. Conclusion There is heterogeneity among those who score high on PPD on the basis of in-school rule-breaking behaviour and morality. Furthermore, PPD is better understood within an SAT framework. These findings support Ronald Blackburn and John Gunn’s concerns about the value of a PPD label. To further our understanding, it is suggested that the components of PPD be viewed and understood individually.

description: In this paper we complete the computation of the two-loop master integrals relevant for Higgs plus one jet production initiated in arXiv:1609.06685, arXiv:1907.13156, arXiv:1907.13234. We compute the integrals by defining differential equations along contours in the kinematic space, and by solving them in terms of one-dimensional generalized power series. This method allows for the efficient evaluation of the integrals in all kinematic regions, with high numerical precision. We show the generality of our approach by considering both the top- and the bottom-quark contributions. This work along with arXiv:1609.06685, arXiv:1907.13156, arXiv:1907.13234 provides the full set of master integrals relevant for the NLO corrections to Higgs plus one jet production, and for the real-virtual contributions to the NNLO corrections to inclusive Higgs production in QCD in the full theory.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: In this paper, we study the implications of the modular $A^{}_4$ flavor symmetry in constructing a supersymmetric minimal type-(I+II) seesaw model, in which only one right-handed neutrino and two Higgs triplets are introduced to account for the tiny neutrino masses, flavor mixing and CP violation. The right-handed neutrino as well as the Higgs triplets in this model are assigned into the trivial one-dimensional irreducible representation of the modular group $A^{}_{4}$. We show that the individual contributions to the neutrino masses from the right-handed neutrino and the Higgs triplet are comparable. We also find that the neutrino mass matrix can possess an approximate $μ-τ$ reflection symmetry for some specific values of free model parameters. Moreover, our model predicts relatively large masses of three light neutrinos, thus can be easily tested in future neutrino experiments.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: This study investigates the level of e-readiness of the Sultanate of Oman’s port facilities and industries and explores their preparedness for global competitiveness in logistics and supply chain. The study employed a mixed research design. The study surveyed 286 industry experts from Muscat, Salalah, and Sohar ports. This research carefully examines how port infrastructure, technology, laws, and electronic human resources management (e-HRM) interact with port e-readiness and how it affects the port’s ability to compete internationally. The results show that port facilities, legal and regulatory frameworks, technological infrastructure, and global competitiveness are significantly positively correlated. Interesting to note that, e-HRM positively correlates with global competitiveness whereas it negatively impacts port e-readiness. The study indicates that the existing port infrastructure, legal and regulatory framework and human resources need to be enhanced to improve the country’s global competitiveness. Importers and exporters were facing some challenges with unclear documentation procedures which are detrimental to improving the competitiveness of Oman ports and logistics facilities. The results show that the country has invested a lot of resources in improving the internet connectivity of the major ports and logistics industries which is critical in enhancing the country’s competitiveness. The study used structural equation modelling to highlight the importance of improving port infrastructure, legal and regulatory frameworks, technology adoption, and e-HRM practices to strengthen Oman’s position in the global market. To achieve this, the study recommends the development of an e-readiness strategy, investment in port facilities, review of legal and regulatory frameworks, and optimisation of e-HRM practices.

description: We investigate the production of three Higgs bosons at a proton-proton collider running at a centre-of-mass energy of 100 TeV, all of which decay into $b$-jets. This final state encapsulates by far the largest fraction of the total cross section of triple Higgs boson production, approximately $20\%$. We examine, by constructing detailed phenomenological analyses, two scenarios: (i) one in which the triple and quartic Higgs boson self-couplings are modified independently by new phenomena with respect to their Standard Model (SM) values and (ii) an extension of the SM by a gauge-singlet scalar that could drive first-order electroweak phase transition, within the context of the so-called xSM. In the former, we find that competitive constraints of $\mathcal{O}(1)$ can be placed on the quartic coupling and in the latter we demonstrate that it will be possible to obtain important information on the structure of the extended scalar sector.

description: This paper provides a literature review on zero defect manufacturing based on the content analysis performed for 280 research articles published from 1987 to 2018 in a variety of academic journals and conference proceedings. The review summarises the state-of-the-art, highlights shortcomings and further directions in research. Accordingly, we investigated how zero defect manufacturing was implemented and evaluated the main research patterns in the sample by analysing key factors. Based on the extensive review of the zero defect manufacturing literature, we identified and highlighted four distinctive strategies based on overarching themes for zero defect manufacturing, i.e. detection, repair, prediction, and prevention. Evaluation of current research and descriptive analysis highlighted six major shortcomings of current research in zero defect manufacturing: (i) focus on a single strategy instead of a holistic approach for global optima; (ii) certain industries are under-researched; (iii) full potential of industry-academia collaboration is not achieved; (iv) not enough focus on the beginning of manufacturing lifecycle; (v) cost–benefit comparative analysis is not evident; (vi) standard and clear definition of terms are missing. Finally, we presented four further directions in which an advance of the topic would stimulate scholarly and practical needs: (i) shift from local to global solutions; (ii) investigate pros and cons; (iii) role of people and human activities in manufacturing; (iv) new business models for zero defect manufacturing.

description: The present study aims to quantify women’s empowerment by constructing an index and attempts to investigate the potential drivers that accelerate women’s degree of empowerment using a capability-based approach. In the study, 416 married women from the Barak Valley region of Assam, India, serve as the primary sample. The index was developed using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) in SPSS software. EFA identifies eight domains of women empowerment in the Indian context: technological acquaintance, household decision-making, freedom of movement, economic independence, community and political participation, gender-based violence, leadership, and work-life balance. Then, linear multiple regression was performed using the index as regressand and socio-demographic and economic factors and self-reported capabilities as regressors in the STATA software. We find that besides traditional factors, spousal work status difference, spousal work regularity, parental asset ownership, the cultural orientation of the household head, membership in multiple community groups, pre-marital agency, and financial literacy play a significant role in determining women’s empowerment.

description: We present results of wavepacket simulations of scattering of an oriented methane molecule from a flat surface including all nine internal vibrations. At a translational energy up to 96 kJ/mol we find that the scattering is almost completely elastic. Vibrational excitations when the molecule hits the surface and the corresponding deformation depend on generic features of the potential energy surface. In particular, our simulation indicate that for methane to dissociate the interaction of the molecule with the surface should lead to an elongated equilibrium C--H bond length close to the surface.

description: The number of works made freely accessible on the Web by cultural institutions joined to Open Archive Initiatives such as libraries, archives and museums, along with research institutions and foundations, is constantly growing and it is becoming more complex. Unfortunately, these institutions are slow to offer innovative services and do not pay sufficient attention to the access functionalities required by users, whilst current technology solutions for wide dissemination and manipulation, like OAI Service provider implementation, are not enough. In this scenario, the benefits of the free access to resources is lost.
The proposed approach aims to increase resource circulation among users exploiting the P2P network and it provides a single application to search and access physical resources. Furthermore, the solution aims to transform the OAI resource into some intelligent content exploiting the structural richness and semantic awareness of the new OA complex digital objects, while preserving their authority and reliability. These new interaction possibilities with contents can stimulate any developing of new manipulation features according to each specific domain user requirements.

description: As dairy production on Irish farms increases and there is an increased demand for labor, a shift from traditional family centric employment structures to an increased dependency on hired labor outside the family is occurring. This paper presents the results of a multi-disciplinary study on farm management and dairy production from a social science perspective. In-depth narrative interviews were conducted with six employers (ER) and seven employees (EE) to explore their farm employment experiences. Three theoretical lenses (psychological contract, agency theory, and pluralist frame) were used to generate themes from the narratives in the development of a conceptual model delineating the key factors that influence employment relations. The conceptual framework includes ‘foundational aspects’ and competencies that influence employees’ and employers’ farm employment experiences. Foundational aspects are shaped by past experiences and personal growth, underpinning how farm employment is experienced by employers and employees. Competencies such as effective communication and task delegation influenced how a sense of trust and fairness were experienced and determined how the expectations of both employers and employees were met in farm employment. The conceptual model offers a clear framework demonstrating how these elements interact to shape a constructive environment for actors involved in farm employment and is of interest to policymakers and initiatives supporting farm employment in agriculture.

description: Taking into account the temperature gradients in solar cells, it is shown that their efficiency can be increased beyond the Shockley-Queisser limit (J. Appl. Phys. 32 (1961) 510). The driving force for this gain is the temperature gradient between this region and its surroundings. A quantitative theory is given. Though the effect is found to be weak in conventional solar cells, it is argued that it can be substantially increased by proper choice of materials and design of the device. In particular, it is shown that the insertion of a quantum well can enhance the efficiency beyond one of the single gap cell, due to the presence of temperature jumps at the heterojunctions.

description: Big-bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) is valuable as a means to constrain the physics of the early universe and it is the only probe of the radiation-dominated epoch. A fundamental assumption in BBN is that the nuclear velocity distributions obey Maxwell-Boltzmann (MB) statistics as they do in stars. Specifically, the BBN epoch is characterized by a dilute baryon plasma for which the velocity distribution of nuclei is mainly determined by the dominant Coulomb elastic scattering with mildly relativistic electrons. One must therefore deduce the momentum distribution for reacting nuclei from the multi-component relativistic Boltzmann equation. However, the full multi-component relativistic Boltzmann equation has only recently been analyzed and its solution has only been worked out in special cases. Moreover, a variety of schemes have been proposed that introduce non-thermal components into the BBN environment which can alter the thermal distribution of reacting nuclei. Here, we construct the relativistic Boltzmann equation in the context of BBN. We also derive a Langevin model and perform relativistic Monte-Carlo simulations which clarify the baryon distribution during BBN and can be used to analyze any relaxation from a non-thermal injection. We show by these analyses that the thermalization process leads to a nuclear distribution function that remains very close to MB statistics even during the most relativistic environment relevant to BBN. Hence, the predictions of standard BBN remain unchanged.

description: We derive metal abundance estimates for a large sample of starbursting emission-line galaxies (ELGs). Our sample is drawn from the KPNO International Spectroscopic Survey (KISS) which has discovered over 2000 ELG candidates to date. Follow-up optical spectra have been obtained for ~900 of these objects. A three step process is used to obtain metal abundances for these galaxies. We first calculate accurate nebular abundances for 12 galaxies whose spectra cover the full optical region from [OII]3726,29 to beyond [SII]6717,31 and include detection of [OIII]4363. Using secondary metallicity indicators R_23 and p_3, we calculate metallicities for an additional 59 galaxies with spectra that cover a similar wavelength range but lack [OIII]4363. The results are used to calibrate relations between metallicity and two readily observed emission-line ratios, which allow us to estimate coarse metallicities for 519 galaxies in total. The uncertainty in these latter abundance estimates is 0.16 dex. From the large, homogeneously observed sample of star-forming galaxies we identify low metallicity candidates for future study and investigate the metallicity-luminosity relation. We find a linear metallicity-luminosity relation of the following form: 12 + log(O/H) = 4.059 - 0.240 M_B, with an RMS scatter of 0.252. This result implies that the slope of the metallicity- luminosity relation is steeper than when dwarf galaxies are considered alone, and may be evidence that the relationship is not linear over the full luminosity range of the sample.

Quantum energy transfer between nonlinearly-coupled bosonic bath and a fermionic chain: an exactly solvable model

description: The evolution of a quantum system towards thermal equilibrium is usually studied by approximate methods, which have their limits of validity and should be checked against analytically solvable models. In this paper, we propose an analytically solvable model to investigate the energy transfer between a bosonic bath and a fermionic chain which are nonlinearly-coupled to each other. The bosonic bath consists of an infinite collection of non-interacting bosonic modes, while the fermionic chain is represented by a chain of interacting fermions with nearest-neighbor interactions. We compare behaviors of the temperature-dependent energy current $J_{T}$ and temperature-independent energy current $J_{TI}$ for different bath configurations. With respect to the bath spectrum, $J_{T}$ decays exponentially for Lorentz-Drude type bath, which is the same as the conventional approximations. On the other hand, the decay rate is $1/t^{3}$ for Ohmic type and $1/t$ for white noise, which doesn't have conventional counterparts. For the temperature-independent current $J_{TI}$, the decay rate is divergent for the Lorentz-Drude type bath, $1/t^{4}$ for the Ohmic bath, and $1/t$ for the white noise. When further considering the dynamics of the fermionic chain, the current will be modulated based on the envelope from the bath. As an example, for a bosonic bath with Ohmic spectrum, when the fermionic chain is uniformly-coupled, we have $J_{T}\propto1/t^{6}$ and $J_{TI}\propto1/t^{3}$. Remarkably, for perfect state transfer (PST) couplings, there always exists an oscillating quantum energy current $J_{TI}$. Moreover, it is interesting that $J_{T}$ is proportional to $(N-1)^{1/2}$ at certain times for PST couplings under Lorentz-Drude or Ohmic bath.

Codes for Synchronization in Channels and Sources with Edits

Coding for synchronization
VT codes

description: Edit channels are a class of communication channels where the output of the channel is an edited version of the input. The edits are considered to be deletions and insertions. DNA-based data storage system is one of the motivations for this model. This thesis studies various problems related to edit channel and also edit synchronization problem. Varshamov-Tenengolts (VT) codes are first introduced. These codes can correct a single deletion or insertion and have a linear-time decoder. The problem of efficient encoding of the non-binary version of VT codes is addressed, where a simple linear-time encoding method to systematically map binary message sequences onto VT codewords is proposed. Another model that is studied is segmented edit channels, where we have the additional assumption that the channel input sequence is implicitly divided into segments such that at most one edit can occur within a segment. A code construction is proposed for this model based on subsets of VT codes chosen with pre-determined prefxes and/or sufxes. Also an upper bound is derived on the rate of any zero-error code for the segmented edit channel in terms of the segment length. This upper bound shows that the rate scaling of the proposed codes as the segment length increases is the same as that of the maximal code. Edit synchronization is another problem studied in this thesis. In this model, there are two remote nodes (encoder and decoder), each having a binary sequence. The sequence X, available at the encoder, is the updated sequence and diﬀers from Y (available at the decoder) by a small number of edits. The goal is to construct a message M, to be sent via a one-way error-free link, such that the decoder can reconstruct X using M and Y. A coding scheme is devised for this one-way synchronization model. The scheme is based on multiple layers of VT codes combined with oﬀ-the-shelf linear error-correcting codes and uses a list decoder. Motivated by the sequence reconstruction problem from traces in DNA-based storage, the problem of designing codes for the deletion channel when multiple observations (or traces) are available to the decoder is considered. A simple binary and non-binary code is proposed that splits the codeword into blocks and employs a VT code in each block. The availability of multiple traces helps the decoder to identify deletion-free copies of a block, and to avoid mis-synchronization while decoding. The encoding complexity of the proposed scheme is linear in the codeword length; the decoding complexity is linear in the codeword length and quadratic in the number of deletions and the number of traces. The list decoding technique for the proposed code is also considered.

description: This study investigates the budgeting system in Indonesia, which has not been adapted to increase and equalise the funding allocation for primary school education. Furthermore, it analyses the causally adaptive failure in the budgeting system of the Government of Indonesia (GoI). Our study employed semi-structured interviews, gathering in-depth insights from 24 relevant informants from the local government officials and auditors. Using Talcott Parson’s structural functionalism as our theoretical approach, the authors analysed the research transcripts using the coding structure of Nvivo, capturing GoI’s education budgeting systems holistically and enriching this study’s findings derived from valid, credible and reliable research data. This study finds deficiencies in the primary school education budgeting system: the identified integrative functions, polity as an organised system for directing various resources towards a collective goal, and the low justification of legitimacy. The findings indicate that the GoI needs to modify the regulations to enhance the adaptive capacity of budgeting functionalism. The findings have consequences for the Public-School Education Ministry in managing the budget allocation, indicating that the GoI needs to modify the regulations to enhance the adaptive capacity. This policy ensures that primary school students get the fund allocation from the GoI as a function of constitutional instruction. This study provides knowledge regarding how most GoI’s regional officers spend their mandatory budgets on infrastructure, disregarding the soft-skill ones. As they avoid transferring general allocation funds by formulating mechanistic allocation due to diminishing incentives, the regional officers are unreasonable when getting the special-fund-allocation transfer.

description: We consider dark sectors with spontaneously broken gauge symmetries, where cascade decays of the dark sector fields naturally produce multi-Higgs boson final states along with dark matter. Our study focuses on two and three Higgs boson final states with missing energy using a multivariate analysis with Boosted Decision Trees. We find that the di-Higgs boson channel is quite promising for the $\bar b b + γγ$ and $\bar b b + \bar \ell \ell$ decay modes. The tri-Higgs boson final state with missing energy, on the other hand, appears to be beyond the reach of the LHC in analogous channels. This may change when fully hadronic Higgs boson decays are considered.

description: KETTLE’S YARD: ANTI-MUSEUM H.S. Ede, modernism and the experience of art Elizabeth Anne Fisher ABSTRACT This thesis attempts to tackle the question of what is, or more precisely, what was Kettle’s Yard, by exploring the intellectual origins of the institution initially conceived and developed by H.S. Ede. Ede bought Kettle’s Yard in 1956, and began to welcome visitors into his home in 1957. As a private initiative, Kettle’s Yard promoted an unusually intimate encounter with art. Following its transferral to the University of Cambridge in 1968, Kettle’s Yard still offered a qualitatively different experience to that of a conventional museum. Over the last fifty years, the ineffable quality of the visitor’s experience has inevitably changed. One of the motivating questions for me, through this research, has been how or even whether Kettle’s Yard now differs from other collection museums, and what that means in terms of understanding the institution Ede originally founded. It was also my aim to situate Kettle’s Yard in relation to a rich history of experimental museum practice and private philanthropy. My approach has been to map a genealogy of key ideas and influences that shaped Kettle’s Yard. My research focuses primarily on the interwar period, which roughly coincides with Ede’s time in London between 1919 (when Ede returned to London after active duty in the First World War) to 1937 (when he resigned from the Tate Gallery and moved to Tangier). This was a formative chapter in Ede’s life. I also seek to draw pertinent comparisons with other collection museums and ‘modernist’ institutions from that era. I begin with an introduction to Kettle’s Yard and to Ede himself. Chapter 2 looks at Ede’s activities and intellectual interests in the interwar period, taking into account the wider cultural context with which he is engaged. In Chapters 3 and 4, I examine the prevailing themes of spirituality and the home in relation to Ede’s engagement with modernism, and his relationships with artists and other key figures. I trace the eventual expression of Ede’s beliefs in the collection and interiors at Kettle’s Yard with reference to relevant archival materials, including Ede’s book on Kettle’s Yard, A Way of Life (1984). Finally, I come back to my original question to assess what Kettle’s Yard means today.

description: We study the stability of the Wilson-Fisher fixed point of the quantum $\mathrm{O}(2N)$ vector model to quenched disorder in the large-$N$ limit. While a random mass is strongly relevant at the Gaussian fixed point, its effect is screened by the strong interactions of the Wilson-Fisher fixed point. This enables a perturbative renormalization group study of the interplay of disorder and interactions about this fixed point. We show that, in contrast to the spiralling flows obtained in earlier double-$ε$ expansions, the theory flows directly to a quantum critical point characterized by finite disorder and interactions. The critical exponents we obtain for this transition are in remarkable agreement with numerical studies of the superfluid-Mott glass transition. We additionally discuss the stability of this fixed point to scalar and vector potential disorder and use proposed boson-fermion dualities to make conjectures regarding the effects of weak disorder on dual Abelian Higgs and Chern-Simons-Dirac fermion theories when $N=1$.

Effects of random fields on the reversal of magnetisation of Ising ferromagnet

description: We have studied the reversal time of the magnetisation in two dimensional Ising ferromagnet in the presence of externally applied uniform magnetic field using Monte Carlo simulation based on Metropolis single spin flip algorithm. Then we have investigated the change in reversal time due to the presence of quenched random field in addition to the uniform magnetic field. We report the results of statistical distribution of reversal times in the presence of three different types of the distributions (namely, uniform, bimodal and normal) of random fields and compared the results with those obtained for uniform field only. We have observed that the reversal time decreases due to the presence of any kind (of distribution) of the random fields. The metastable volume fraction is observed to follow the Avrami's law. Dependence of reversal times on temperature and different widths of the distributions of random fields are also reported. We have also checked whether the system obeyed Becker-Doring theory of classical nucleation in presence of additional random field and tried to investigate the range of the width of the distribution of random field. For larger width of the distribution of random field, the system fails to show the reversal via the nucleation of a single droplet (for small values of uniform field only). The possible reason is analysed.

description: Bayesian models that can handle both overdispersed and underdispersed counts are rare in the literature, perhaps because full probability distributions for dispersed counts are rather difficult to construct. This note takes a first look at Bayesian Conway–Maxwell–Poisson regression models that can handle both overdispersion and underdispersion yet retain the parsimony and interpretability of classical count models. The focus is on providing an explicit demonstration of Bayesian regression inferences for dispersed counts via a Metropolis–Hastings algorithm. We illustrate the approach on two data analysis examples and demonstrate some favorable frequentist properties via a simulation study.

description: Inexpensive energy (fossil fuel and feed), plentiful water, and limited concern of air emissions has resulted in few incentives to critically evaluate, modify, or significantly change pig housing designs. However, recent global trends have forced the pork industry (both in Midwest and throughout the U.S.) to reduce the environmental impact of swine production systems. This could partially be accomplished through the development and use of smarter and/or “greener” housing designs and management that reduces both fossil and feed energy use as well as air emissions including hazardous (ammonia and hydrogen sulfide) and greenhouse (carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide) gases plus odor and particulate matter. A new pig finishing housing design is proposed in this paper which is referred to as the “Greener Pig Barn” or GPB. This report includes four GPB design variations. All GPB design versions use shallow gutters with mechanical scrapers and an in-ground, covered, concrete manure storage tank so a reduction in air emissions are expected due to the lack of long term manure storage inside/under the barn and to barn cooling. Building construction costs per pig space, which includes an outside, covered, in-ground concrete manure storage tank, are expected to be 1.3 to 2 times higher than typical construction of the baseline double wide, fully slatted, tunnel ventilated (TV) barn. These costs are offset by a 3-7% increase in average daily gain and 5-10% decrease in feed consumption per pound of pork produced. Using these assumptions in a standard economic projection, annualized net present value per pig space is between $2.43 and $9.03 with 6.0 to 12.8 years to payback over the TV facility.

Protostellar Collapse Induced by Compression

description: We present numerical simulations of the evolution of low-mass, isothermal, molecular cores which are subjected to an increase in external pressure $P\xt$. If $P\xt$ increases very slowly, the core approaches instability quite quasistatically. However, for larger (but still quite modest) $dP\xt/dt$ a compression wave is driven into the core, thereby triggering collapse from the outside in. If collapse of a core is induced by increasing $P\xt$, this has a number of interesting consequences. (i) The density profile is approximately flat in the centre during the prestellar phase (i.e. before the compression wave converges on the centre creating the central protostar). (ii) During the prestellar phase there are (subsonic) inward velocities in the outer layers of the core, whilst the inner parts are still approximately at rest. (iii) There is an initial short phase of rapid accretion (notionally the Class 0 phase), followed by a longer phase of slower accretion (the Class I phase). All these features accord well with observation, but are at variance with the predictions of the standard theory of star formation based on the inside-out collapse of a singular isothermal sphere. We note that the setting up of a coherent inward velocity field appears to be a generic feature of compression waves; and we speculate that interactions and interference between such velocity fields may play a crucial rôle in initiating the fragmentation of cores and the genesis of multiple star systems.
