description: Structure formation within the Lemaitre-Tolman model is investigated in a general manner. We seek models such that the initial density perturbation within a homogeneous background has a smaller mass than the structure into which it will develop, and the perturbation then accretes more mass during evolution. This is a generalisation of the approach taken by Bonnor in 1956. It is proved that any two spherically symmetric density profiles specified on any two constant time slices can be joined by a Lemaitre-Tolman evolution, and exact implicit formulae for the arbitrary functions that determine the resulting L-T model are obtained. Examples of the process are investigated numerically.

description: In this contribution to the J. Phys. memorial issue in honor of Sandro Massidda I reflect on a phenomenon Sandro had been a part of. While theoretical condensed matter physicists have made, over the years, exciting and most elegant contributions to the theory of superconductivity (which, in and by itself, is one of the most beautiful constructs in theoretical physics), some of them of utmost importance, they have had less success in predicting and explaining superconducting states and mechanisms in specific materials. More down-to-earth computational materials scientists, who often go by the moniker "band theorists", have been much more successful in applying (usually other people's) ideas in such circumstances. In this essay I give some examples, largely drawn from my own experience, and speculate on their meaning.

description: Delay-Tolerant Networking (DTN) is a promising technique that can transmit data in challenging environments where the end-to-end path is not accessible. DTN is characterized by intermittent connectivity, long delays, and high error rates. Several routing protocols have been utilized to serve a range of scenarios and different topologies. However, due to the random change in topology and the absence of an end-to-end route, routing is considered as one of the issues that impact the performance of DTN. Therefore, the design of a novel effective routing in DTN that can direct the packets from one node to another is required. In the present paper, a comprehensive comparison of five DTN routing protocols Epidemic, Spray and Wait, PRoPHET, MaxProp, and Rapid is conducted by changing the number of nodes and varying the buffer size. The main aim of this paper is to offer an enhanced understanding of the behavior of different DTN routing protocols in terms of the delivery probability, overhead ratio, latency, and hop counts that depend on various network parameters such as the number of nodes and buffer size. Furthermore, the performance of these DTN routing protocols is modeled using the Opportunistic Network Environment simulator regarding the delivery probability, average latency, overhead ratio, and hop count. The outcomes of this simulation show that the MaxProp routing protocol provides the optimum performance from the five DTN routing protocols in terms of the delivery ratio in both the ShortestPathMapBasedMovement and Cluster models. Finally, the existing challenges are highlighted for further study.

Probing uncertainties of nuclear structure corrections in light muonic atoms

description: Recent calculations of nuclear structure corrections to the Lamb shift in light muonic atoms are based on an expansion in a parameter eta, where only terms up to second order are retained. The parameter eta can be shown to be proportional to the square root of the muon/proton mass ratio, so that it is small and the expansion is expected to converge. However, practical implementations show that the eta convergence may be slower than expected. In this work we probe the uncertainties due to this expansion using a different formalism, which is based on a multipole expansion of the longitudinal and transverse response functions and was first introduced by Leidemann and Rosenfelder. We refer to this alternative expansion as the eta-less formalism. We generalize this formalism to account for the cancellation of elastic terms such as the third Zemach moment (or Friar moment) and embed it in a computationally efficient framework. We implement and test this approach in the case of muonic deuterium. The comparison of results in the point nucleon limit for both methods achieve sub-percent agreement. When nucleon form factors are introduced we find a 4% and 2% difference in the third Zemach moment and nuclear polarizability, respectively, compared to the eta-less expansion, indicating that the nucleon form factor approximations should be improved. However, we find that the sum of these terms removes this dependence and the uncertainty due to the eta-expansion and the related second-order approximation in the nucleon form factors amounts only to 0.2% and thus is fully justified in muonic deuterium. This computationally efficient framework paves the way to further studies in light muonic systems with more than two nucleons, where controlling and reducing uncertainties in nuclear structure corrections is key to the experimental efforts of the CREMA collaboration.

description: A compact representation of the loop amplitude gamma gamma ggg -> 0 is presented. The result has been obtained by using helicity methods and sorting with respect to an irreducible function basis. We show how to convert spinor representations into a field strength representation of the amplitude. The amplitude defines a background contribution for Higgs boson searches at the LHC in the channel H -> gamma gamma + jet which was earlier extracted indirectly from the one-loop representation of the 5-gluon amplitude.

description: The Lake Ontario drainage basin has been considered the most productive of all the deepwater Laurentian Great Lakes for fish production and extremely valuable for its historical commercial fisheries catches. Historical accounts are replete with this productivity, especially when referencing Atlantic Salmon populations. In addition to Atlantic Salmon, Lake Ontario contained a diverse coldwater fish community dominated by Lake Trout, whitefishes (Coregoninae), and Burbot along with rich cool and warmwater fish communities. Lake Ontario also contained marine relict species, such as Harbour Seal, Threespine Stickleback, and possibly Sea Lamprey, Rainbow Smelt and Alewife along with the catadromous American Eel. Following European colonization of the watershed, extensive land-use change, overfishing, dam construction, habitat degradation, pollution, and invasive species all contributed to the decline and extirpation of many native species and shifts in aquatic species communities. This chronology is meant to provide context and inform expectations regarding productivity of Lake Ontario and contributing watersheds for developing more comprehensive resource management plans, guidelines, and policy.

description: This paper analyses a set of model‐based decarbonization scenarios in order to quantify the long‐term economic benefits that arise from an increasing integration of the pan‐European electricity system. It thereby focuses on the interplay between transmission infrastructure and renewable generation capacity expansion. We confirm earlier findings that, on aggregate, pan‐European transmission capacity expansion constitutes a no‐regret option for integrating increasing shares of variable renewables in mitigation scenarios with positive social returns on investment. However, it turns out that the change in total discounted system costs that occurs as transmission capacity expansion increases is modest in magnitude, with a maximum of 3.5% for a case with no expansion compared to one with massive expansion. In technical terms this means that the optimum is rather flat and that taking into account regional and local benefits and distributional aspects, could alter the evaluation of the economic benefits considerably. A crucial finding in this context is that the configuration of pan‐European transmission infrastructure and the importance of specific country‐connections, i.e. a “Southern” versus a “Northern” solution, crucially hinges on the relative development of specific investment costs for solar and wind technologies over the next decades.

description: We present a new strategy to optimise the electromagnetic follow-up of gravitational wave triggers. This method is based on the widely used galaxy targeting approach where we add the stellar mass of galaxies in order to prioritise the more massive galaxies. We crossmatched the GLADE galaxy catalog with the AllWISE catalog up to 400Mpc with an efficiency of $\sim$93\%, and derived stellar masses using a stellar-to-mass ratio using the WISE1 band luminosity. We developed a new grade to rank galaxies combining their 3D localisation probability associated to the gravitational wave event with the new stellar mass information. The efficiency of this new approach is illustrated with the GW170817 event, which shows that its host galaxy, NGC4993, is ranked at the first place using this new method. The catalog, named Mangrove, is publicly available and the ranking of galaxies is automatically provided through a dedicated web site for each gravitational wave event.

description: Since the end of the 70s, the demographic development of the rural dominant areas has no longer been negative and this favourable development emphasized during the last 30 years. It is due to a positive balance of migrants, which fully compensates for the natural deficit of these areas. Conversely, a natural positive balance allows the urban hubs to preserve a positive demographic evolution, while departures from these areas are higher than arrivals. In rural areas, the natural deficit, associated to non random crossed migrant flows (departures of skilled young people and arrivals of retired people) leads to an overrepresentation of workers and old people.
A Generalized pH Acceleration Model of Nano-sol Products and the Effects of Model Misspecification on Shelf-life Prediction

description: In the existing pH acceleration models, which are used to assess the shelf-life of liquid-type nano-sol products, a mixture of normal distributions is commonly employed for describing the sizes of particles mixing from two populations. The Gaussian mixture model approach falls short when used to characterize the asymmetric distributions of particle sizes in subgroups. This work considers instead a broader class of a mixture of log-F distributions, to be embedded in a pH acceleration model. This study aims at understanding the impact of the new modeling approach, in the presence of model misspecification of the particle size distribution, on the accuracy and precision for making the shelf-life predictions. This study found that model misspecification indeed affects remarkably the shelf-life predictions. The proposed method shows favorable finite sample performance on a simulated data set. Both the quantitative analysis of the impact due to model misspecification and the solution proposed herein could benefit practitioners in the long run.

description: In this paper we address the question of whether it is possible to integrate time-dependent high-dimensional PDEs with hierarchical tensor methods and explicit time stepping schemes. To this end, we develop sufficient conditions for stability and convergence of tensor solutions evolving on tensor manifolds with constant rank. We also argue that the applicability of PDE solvers with explicit time-stepping may be limited by time-step restriction dependent on the dimension of the problem. Numerical applications are presented and discussed for variable coefficients linear hyperbolic and parabolic PDEs.

description: France has 14,930 periurban communes (a commune is the lowest tier of local government in France) that cover one-third of the territory, among which 90% are rural communes. The periurbanisation movement is often associated with social segregation in cities. We explain the reasons behind this. For two decades, the average commune income per household has progressed in the periurban areas and declined in the urban centres, showing a relative enrichment of these areas. However, executives are more centrally located than workers, who are overrepresented in the more distant periurban communes. Moreover, we observe an intensification of segregation within the urban hubs.

description: Photoelectron photoion coincidence spectroscopy has been used to measure the threshold photoelectron spectrum of 1-ethynylpyrene and to obtain the breakdown graph describing the dissociation of the 1-ethynylpyrene cation. The threshold photoelectron measurement has allowed us to improve the determination of the ionization energy of 1-ethynylpyrene at 7.391 $\pm$ 0.005 eV. Concerning the main dissociation channels, the analysis of the breakdown graph has given 3.70 $\pm$ 0.60 eV as the activation energy for the loss of one H atom and 2.98 $\pm$ 1.80 eV for the loss of a second independent H atom. The corresponding entropies of activation are affected by large errors as observed in similar studies of other polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon cations. Minor dissociation channels were also detected and identified as the loss of the C$_2$H group and the loss of a C$_2$H$_2$ unit and/or that of an H atom plus the C$_2$H group. The activation energies and the entropies of activation of these minor pathways could not be derived from the measurements. It is found that the cation of 1-ethynylpyrene behaves like the cation of pyrene and is consequently more photostable than the cation of 1-methylpyrene. We conclude that photodissociation is not the leading cause of the low abundance, if not the absence, of ethynyl-substituted polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon species in the interstellar medium.

Ricci Collineations in Friedmann-Robertson-Walker Spacetimes

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: Ricci collineations and Ricci inheritance collineations of Friedmann-Robertson-Walker spacetimes are considered. When the Ricci tensor is non-degenerate, it is shown that the spacetime always admits a fifteen parameter group of Ricci inheritance collineations; this is the maximal possible dimension for spacetime manifolds. The general form of the vector generating the symmetry is exhibited. It is also shown, in the generic case, that the group of Ricci collineations is six-dimensional and coincides with the isometry group. In special cases the spacetime may admit either one or four proper Ricci collineations in addition to the six isometries. These special cases are classified and the general form of the vector fields generating the Ricci collineations is exhibited. When the Ricci tensor is degenerate, the groups of Ricci inheritance collineations and Ricci collineations are infinite-dimensional. General forms for the generating vectors are obtained. Similar results are obtained for matter collineations and matter inheritance collineations.

Tidal disruption of planetary bodies by white dwarfs I: A hybrid SPH-analytical approach

Year: 2019

description: We introduce a new hybrid method to perform high-resolution tidal disruption simulations, at arbitrary orbits. An SPH code is used to simulate tidal disruptions only in the immediate spatial domain of the star, namely, where the tidal forces dominate over gravity, and then during the fragmentation phase in which the emerging tidal stream may collapse under its own gravity to form fragments. Following each hydrodynamical simulation, an analytical treatment is then applied to instantaneously transfer each fragment back to the tidal sphere for its subsequent disruption, in an iterative process. We validate the hybrid model by comparing it to both an analytical impulse approximation model of single tidal disruptions, as well as full-scale SPH simulations spanning the entire disc formation. The hybrid simulations are essentially indistinguishable from the full-scale SPH simulations, while computationally outperforming their counterparts by orders of magnitude. Thereby our new hybrid approach uniquely enables us to follow the long-term formation and continuous tidal disruption of the planet/planetesimal debris, without the resolution and orbital configuration limitation of previous studies. In addition, we describe a variety of future directions and applications for our hybrid model, which is in principle applicable to any star, not merely white dwarfs

description: The essential features underlying the top-down scenarii for UHECR are discussed, namely, the stability (or lifetime) imposed to the heavy objects (particles) whatever they be: topological and non-topological solitons, X-particles, cosmic defects, microscopic black-holes, fundamental strings. We provide an unified formula for the quantum decay rate of all these objects as well as the particle decays in the standard model. The key point in the top-down scenarii is the necessity to adjust the lifetime of the heavy object to the age of the universe. This ad-hoc requirement needs a very high dimensional operator to govern its decay and/or an extremely small coupling constant. The natural lifetimes of such heavy objects are, however, microscopic times associated to the GUT energy scale (sim 10^{-28} sec. or shorter). It is at this energy scale (by the end of inflation) where they could have been abundantly formed in the early universe and it seems natural that they decayed shortly after being formed.

description: We report on the recent results of the hypercentral Constituent Quark Model (hCQM). The model contains a spin independent three-quark interaction which is inspired by Lattice QCD calculations and reproduces the average energy values of the SU(6) multiplets. The splittings are obtained with a SU(6)-breaking interaction, which can include also an isospin dependent term. The model has been used for predictions concerning the electromagnetic transition form factors giving a good description of the medium $Q^2$-behaviour. In particular the calculated helicity amplitude $A_{1/2}$ for the $S_{11}(1535)$ resonance agrees very well with the recent CLAS data. Furthermore, we have shown for the first time that the decreasing of the ratio of the elastic form factors of the proton is due to relativistic effects. Finally, the elastic nucleon form factors have been calculated using a relativistic version of the hCQM and a relativistic quark current.

description: It has been nearly eighteen months since the last issue of the NZLIMJ. In that time much has happened withinNew Zealand Libraries.Here in Christchurch, our long awaited and now award winning Tūranga opened with much fanfare. I once workedin the now-old Central City Library on Gloucester Street and remember the concrete columns, staff balcony overlookingthe river and light-filled spaces with much fondness. If you can visit Tūranga I would strongly encourage youto - it is a celebration of all that libraries now are; community and gathering places as well as social and relaxingspaces along with being a place to play, to study, to read and to stop and admire the architecture.It was with sadness we saw the closure of the Wellington Central Library due to concerns about how the buildingmay behave in a future earthquake. Sadly as those in Ōtahutahi know the safety of our colleagues and library usersmust come before any building. I have been heartened to watch from afar as Wellington City Libraries develop aCBD network of libraries that bring back memories of the post-earthquakes libraries in Christchurch at South City,Peterborough, Tuam and Manchester Streets. There are a small group - including me! - who worked at every singleone of these between 2011 and 2018.Along with library openings and closings I am incredibly excited that the IFLA World Library & Information Congress(WLIC) will be held in Aotearoa in 2022. It is my hope that the recent New Zealand International Convention Centrefire will not delay this as selfishly an IFLA WLIC is on my professional bucket list. I am looking forward to a programmethat celebrates the best of New Zealand libraries to the world and would encourage you to start thinkingand planning about attending this.In addition changes to Route C in LIANZA’s professional registration scheme - introduced this year - means agreater number of individuals can now gain professional registration and call themselves RLIANZA. This year I revalidatedas RLIANZA for the second time. I am in a minority in my workplace in being RLIANZA so each time I reassessmy reasons to revalidate and for me revalidating means that I have professional validation (by my own colleagues)that I met the standard of RLIANZA and that I can demonstrate this to potential employers.With that Anton and I hope you enjoy this issue of the NZLIMJ.

description: Cosmologies with a time dependent Newton constant and cosmological constant are investigated. The scale dependence of $G$ and $Λ$ is governed by a set of renormalization group equations which is coupled to Einstein's equation in a consistent way. The existence of an infrared attractive renormalization group fixed point is postulated, and the cosmological implications of this assumption are explored. It turns out that in the late Universe the vacuum energy density is automatically adjusted so as to equal precisely the matter energy density, and that the deceleration parameter approaches $q = -1/4$. This scenario might explain the data from recent observations of high redshift type Ia Supernovae and the cosmic microwave background radiation without introducing a quintessence field.

description: Against the massive fall in agricultural employment, industry now represents a major part of the employment in non-urban areas. In addition, it is now appropriate to distinguish a periurban/rural space under the influence of an autonomous-rural space. In the first one, the quite favourable development of employment may be explained by a transfer of activities from the urban areas penalized by the existence of congestion. In the second one, the dynamism attached to certain sectors (agrifood industries, construction…) may be explained by the presence of assets specific to that type of space, the first among which is a “skilled” workforce.

description: Various specificities characterize the rural labour markets. Because of their small size, job applications and offers are less numerous and so less diversified, causing greater difficulties in matching them than in the urban labour markets. Moreover, in the countryside, job relationships are more often embedded in social relationships than in town. These phenomena contribute to making jobs steadier and salaries lower in the rural areas and creating a functional specialisation of spaces.

description: It has always been conventionally understood that, in the dilute limit, the Casimir energy of interaction between bodies or the Casimir self-energy of a dielectric body could be identified with the sum of the van der Waals or Casimir-Polder energies of the constituents of the bodies. Recently, this proposition for self-energies has been challenged by Avni and Leonhardt [Ann.\ Phys.\ {\bf 395}, 326 (2018)], who find that the energy or self-stress of a homogeneous dielectric ball with permittivity $\varepsilon$ begins with a term of order $\varepsilon-1$. Here we demonstrate that this cannot be correct. The only possible origin of a term linear in $\varepsilon-1$ lies in the bulk energy, that energy which would be present if either the material of the body, or of its surroundings, filled all space. Since Avni and Leonhardt correctly subtract the bulk terms, the linear term they find likely arises from their omission of an integral over the transverse stress tensor.

description: Modern online participatory platforms are a key tool for large-scale citizen participation, both concerning the number of citizens participating and their geographical distance. However, existing platforms implement little if any collaborative system in order to help people contribute. Consequently, my doctoral research questions the relevance of different types of collaborative editing systems as supports for citizen participation. Apart from that, I also propose an analysis of users’ behavior in a past online consultation in order to identify flaws and to draw recommendations concerning the design of participatory platforms.

description: Wine is a complex product. Preferences for it are not only highly heterogeneous throughout the population, but also amply susceptible to context. The objective of this study is to discover and measure these preferences, focusing on a set of non-sensory attributes of wine. To identify the most relevant non-sensory attributes of wine, from the consumers’ standpoint we considered four sources: existing literature, a Delphi survey (applied to wine marketing experts), in- depth interviews and a web-page survey answered by fairly large sample of wine consumers. Not all sources were consistent on which attributes were the most important. Notably, consumers did not select price as a relevant attribute on the web survey, even though it had been considered relevant in the in-depth interviews. Finally, six wine attributes were selected for inclusion in a stated choice (SC) experiment: grape variety, alcohol level, label design, product recommendations, price and discounts. An efficient experimental design was then developed and a web based SC survey was applied to 274 regular wine consumers (who had already answered the previous web survey). These consumers have high income (among the richest 20% of the Chilean population), only 28% of them are female and 33% are 35 years old or younger. The SC experiment simulated a purchase, at a retail store, for a casual meal with friends. A fixed fictional brand was used for all the wines presented on the experiment. With this data we estimated various discrete choice models, including mixed logit and hybrid choice models. Grape variety was found to be the main driver of preferences. Evidence of preference for higher alcohol levels was also discovered. Price proved to be highly endogenous, as it is strongly related to wine’s expected quality. Recommendation by a friend and critics were equally valued, except in the case of (self-declared) expert consumers. Preferences over label designs showed high variability. The results also suggest that price is a key attribute in the construction of expected quality by the consumer before tasting the product.
Complex Energy Method for Scattering Processes

description: A method for solving few-body scattering equations is proposed and examined. The solution of the scattering equations at complex energies is analytically continued to get scattering T-matrix with real positive energy. Numerical examples document that the method works well for two-nucleon scattering and three-nucleon scattering, if the set of complex energies is properly chosen.

description: The most general class of 4D N=4 conformal supergravity actions depends on a holomorphic function of the scalar fields that parametrize an SU(1,1)/U(1) coset space. The bosonic sector of these actions was presented in a letter [arXiv:1609.09083]. Here we provide the complete actions to all orders in the fermion fields. They rely upon a new N=4 density formula, which permits a direct but involved construction. This density formula also recovers the on-shell action for vector multiplets coupled to conformal supergravity. Applications of these results in the context of Poincaré supergravity are briefly discussed.

description: When it comes to gender and design there seems to be a gap in the literature focusing on the effect gender has on discussions which influences the design decisions being made. This research aims to uncover if there is any effect, and then how this can be mitigated or used to the advantage of the users. So far, this research has looked at the conversations which has taken place, and the aim going forward is to look at the products being designed and to uncover how gender may have played a part in their creation.

title: Exploring Possible Futures With Computational Media

description: When thinking about software, we often think about applications with a fixed set of functionality that are tied to particular devices. While applications provide functionality for their use cases, e.g., a word processor for writing text, they are usually inflexible in providing functionality beyond their often narrow use case. An alternative model considers software as a medium — Kay and Goldberg think of it as expressive and malleable as paper or clay. My research explores computational media and possible futures of software built with computational media by following an explorative and qualitative research approach using high-fidelity prototypes. I present preliminary results of properties of computational media, the potentials and limits of them, and use cases where software built with computational media excels. With my research, I aim to contribute to rethinking applications as the predominant model of software, shifting software towards a more malleable foundation, overcoming the boundaries of applications and devices.
The Cosmological Constant Problem and Quintessence

description: I briefly review the cosmological constant problem and the issue of dark energy (or quintessence). Within the framework of quantum field theory, the vacuum expectation value of the energy momentum tensor formally diverges as $k^4$. A cutoff at the Planck or electroweak scale leads to a cosmological constant which is, respectively, $10^{123}$ or $10^{55}$ times larger than the observed value, $ł/8πG \simeq 10^{-47}$ GeV$^4$. The absence of a fundamental symmetry which could set the value of $ł$ to either zero or a very small value leads to {\em the cosmological constant problem}. Most cosmological scenario's favour a large time-dependent $ł$-term in the past (in order to generate inflation at $z \gg 10^{10}$), and a small $ł$-term today, to account for the current acceleration of the universe at $z \lleq 1$. Constraints arising from cosmological nucleosynthesis, CMB and structure formation constrain $ł$ to be sub-dominant during most of the intermediate epoch $10^{10} < z < 1$. This leads to the {\em cosmic coincidence} conundrum which suggests that the acceleration of the universe is a recent phenomenon and that we live during a special epoch when the density in $ł$ and in matter are almost equal. Time varying models of dark energy can, to a certain extent, ameliorate the fine tuning problem (faced by $ł$), but do not resolve the puzzle of cosmic coincidence. I briefly review tracker models of dark energy, as well as more recent brane inspired ideas and the issue of horizons in an accelerating universe. Model independent methods which reconstruct the cosmic equation of state from supernova observations are also assessed. Finally, a new diagnostic of dark energy -- `Statefinder', is discussed.
