Harmonic Function Expansion of Nearly Oblate Systems
Creators: name: Syer, Dave
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We show how to develop an expansion of nearly oblate systems in terms of a set of potential-density pairs. A harmonic (multipole) structure is imposed on the potential set at infinity, and the density can be made everywhere regular. We concentrate on a set whose zeroth order functions describe the perfect oblate spheroid of de Zeeuw (1985). This set is not bi-orthogonal, but it can be shown to be complete in a weak sense. Poisson's equation can be solved approximately by truncating the expansion of the potential in such a set. A simple example of a potential which is not one of the basis functions is expanded using the symmetric members of the basis set up to fourth order. The basis functions up to first order are reconstructed approximately using 10,000 particles to show that this set could be used as part of an $N$-body code.

description: We study a sample of 257 Galactic disk M dwarfs (812 (M<0.25 \ms), decreasing by a factor \gsim 3 by M_V~14 (M~0.14\ms). This decrease in the LF is in good agreement with the ground-based photometric study of nearby stars by Stobie et al. (1989), and in mild conflict with the most recent LF measurements based on local parallax stars by Reid et al. (1995). The local LF of the faint Galactic disk stars can be transformed into a local mass function using an empirical mass-M_V relation. The mass function can be represented analytically over the mass range 0.1\ms

Pharaohs and Playwrights between Fiction and Reality: Controversies in the Egyptian Cultural Field
Creators: name: Potenza, Daniela
Publisher: name: Fondazione Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
Year: 2021

description:

Going through the controversies involving pharaohs as fictive characters, this article focuses on the life and works of four Egyptian playwrights (Yaʿqūb Ṣanūʿ, ʿAlī Aḥmad Bākaṯīr, Alfred Faraǧ and Tawfīq al-Ḥakīm). Deeply engaged in the politics of their time, playwrights’ experiences with ‘pharaohs’ are studied here with the aim of highlighting the different perceptions of the character of the pharaoh in Egypt and in the West, retracing the implications of the common pairing of pharaohs with presidents, as well as showing how literature can affect politics and how the collocation of pharaohs in the Egyptian cultural field remains problematic, but is changing.

description: We introduce a method to construct non-Markovian variants of completely positive (CP) dynamical maps, particularly, qubit Pauli channels. We identify non-Markovianity with the breakdown in CP-divisibility of the map, i.e., appearance of a not-completely-positive (NCP) intermediate map. In particular, we consider the case of non-Markovian dephasing in detail. The eigenvalues of the Choi matrix of the intermediate map crossover at a point which corresponds to a singularity in the canonical decoherence rate of the corresponding master equation, and thus to a momentary non-invertibility of the map. Thereafter, the rate becomes negative, indicating non-Markovianity. We quantify the non-Markovianity by two methods, one based on CP-divisibility (Hall et al., PRA 89, 042120, 2014), which doesn't require optimization but requires normalization to handle the singularity, and another method, based on distinguishability (Breuer et al. PRL 103, 210401, 2009), which requires optimization but is insensitive to the singularity.

Identification and characterisation of a novel enterocyte sensor
Creators: name: Pilgrim, Clare
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: The gut is becoming increasingly well recognised as an important nutrient-sensing endocrine organ, which can regulate its own functions as well as those of other organs. Previous work has established that a subpopulation of cells in the intestinal epithelium - the enteroendocrine cells - can release hormones in response to nutritional stimuli. However, there is some evidence that a second epithelial population - the absorptive enterocytes - is also capable of responding to dietary content. The aim of this project was to identify a new mechanism by which this might occur. Using the model organism Drosophila melanogaster, I conducted an enterocyte-specific RNAi screen of over 100 candidate transporter and receptor genes. This screen identified CG11340 (Hodor), for which knockdown consistently caused an increase in the time taken for larvae to develop into pupae, particularly in poor-nutritional conditions. Hodor encodes a cys-loop ligand-gated ion channel, which is a class of protein usually associated with post-synaptic membranes. I have confirmed that Hodor protein is found in the gut and have further analysed its cell type-specific expression and subcellular distribution. I have also identified a novel ligand for Hodor and characterised its activity in vitro. Loss of this protein in enterocytes of larvae reared on a low-nutrient diet dramatically reduced food intake, and had striking consequences both for the gut and for the organism as a whole. These results underscore the importance of enterocytes in mediating adaptations to nutrient scarcity, and identify Hodor as a gene that plays a key role in this process.

description: Upon assuming the $B-L$ Supersymmetric Standard Model (BLSSM) as theoretical framework accommodating a multi-Higgs sector, we assess the scope of the High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) in accessing charged Higgs bosons ($H^\pm$) produced in pairs from $Z'$ decays. We show that, by pursuing both di-jet and tau-neutrino decays, several signals can be established for $H^\pm$ masses ranging from about $M_{W}$ to above $m_t$ and $Z'$ masses between 2.5 TeV and 3.5 TeV. The discovery can be attained, even in a background free environment in some cases, owing to the fact that the very massive resonating $Z'$ ejects the charged Higgs bosons at very high transverse momentum, a kinematic region where any SM noise is hugely depleted.

Je n'ai pas manqué, Monsieur, de remettre en son temps à M. le marquis d'Aubais une copie de la lettre jointe à la dernière lettre que vous m'avez faite l'honneur de m'écrire, touchant les livres que vous désirez. Il me promit de la suivre dans les divers achats qu'il fait de temps en temps. Je lui en ai parlé plusieurs fois depuis. Cependant la mort de son fils, qui est survenue dans l'intervalle, l'a si fort accablé qu'il ne s'est presque occupé que de sa douleur jusqu'ici. à quoi il faut joindre les agitations et les mouvements de son procès qui ne sont pas médiocres, procès, qui quoique simple préliminaire, ne s'agissant actuellement que d'une cassation d'arrêt, devient pour lui de plus extrême conséquence. De sorte que je ne vois pas qu'il ait rien pu faire encore de ce que vous désirez de lui. Il a néanmoins depuis peu quelque relâche ; il reprend même les achats de livre, par le ministère de diverses personnes qu'il emploie et qu'il paie pour aller dans les ventes. Ainsi ce serait le temps de le presser à votre égard. Je serais d'un avis que vous lui écrivissiez pour l'en prier plus particulièrement, afin de vous satisfaire avant son départ, car ses affaires domestiques le rappelleront chez lui aussitôt après son procès jugé. Ne lui témoignez rien toutefois de tout ce que vous dis ici, et faites-lui la prière comme venue directement de votre [...] et motu proprio. J'appuirai de mon côté et ne cesserai de lui en renouveler le souvenir. Il m'a paru que vos intérêts et votre satisfaction demandaient que vous écrivisse sur cela. Permettez-moi, en finissant ma lettre, de vous réitérer ma [...] pour les opérations de l'empeinte des trous de la frise de l'architrave de la Maison Quarrée. J'écris pour cela aujourd'hui même à Messieurs les consuls. Faites-moi le plaisir de vous joindre à moi auprès d'eux. Voilà un temps bien favorable. La saison ne saurait être plus belle. J'ai l'honneur d'être avec les sentiments les plus distingués, Monsieur, votre très humble et très obéissant serviteur.

description:

Centred as they are on historical figures and public events, the six chapters (76, 77, 79, 81, 83, 97) that refer to Narihira as an “old man” (okina) have long been the object of scholarly debate as important keys to the understanding of the Ise monogatari. This article explores their political overtones, showing how, through the symbolic use of seasonal motifs, the old man’s poems obliquely signal – and covertly denounce as an illegitimate assumption of power – specific stages of Fujiwara no Yoshifusa’s political ascent, vis-à-vis the consequent decline of other clans (the Ariwaras) and royal personages (Prince Koretaka).

Among these hadrons only the ground state of 0(-) is known experimentally and therefore our predictions provide important information for the experimental discovery of all other hadrons with these quark contents.

PERIGALACTIC DISTANCES OF GLOBULAR CLUSTERS
Creators: name: Bergh, Sidney van den
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Luminosities and tidal radii of globular clusters have been used to estimate the perigalactic distances P of well-observed Galactic globulars that do not have collapsed cores. It is found that the cluster metallicity [Fe/H] correlates somewhat more strongly with P than it does with the present Galactocentric distances R of globular clusters. It is also found that both P and R correlate more strongly with the cluster half-light radii rh than they do with [Fe/H]. This suggests that cluster radii are mainly determined by global parameters of the (proto)Galaxy, whereas [Fe/H] may have been more strongly affected by local evolutionary effects. The strong correlation (P) = 0.70 +/- 0.05 between the perigalactic distances and half-light radii of globular clusters is particularly striking. The half-light radii rh of globular clusters in the outer halo of the Galaxy are found to correlate with R, and even more strongly with P. It is not yet clear how this result is to be reconciled with the Searle-Zinn scenario for the formation of the outer halo of the Galaxy. The tidal radii of clusters with collapsed cores appear to have been systematically over-estimated, resulting in perigalactic distances that are too large. Halo globulars with P > 15 kpc are (with the exception of NGC 2419) typically an order of magnitude less luminous than the clusters with P < 15 kpc that are associated with the main body of the Galaxy. The population of nuclear globular clusters with P < 1 kpc appears to be deficient in objects fainter than MV ~ -7. Clusters with well-determined ages having P > 15 kpc have ages in the range 9 - 16 Gyr, whereas globulars with P < 15 kpc all appear to have ages that are restricted to the narrower range 13 < T < 16 Gyr.

Development of biomedical devices for the extracorporeal real-time monitoring and perfusion of transplant organs
Creators: name: Learney, Robert Michael
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: The goal of this Thesis is to develop a range of technologies that could enable a paradigm shift in organ preservation for renal transplantation, transitioning from static cold storage to warm normothermic blood perfusion. This transition could enable the development of novel pre-implantation therapies, and even serve as the foundation for a global donor pool. A low-hæmolysis pump was developed, based on a design first proposed by Nikola Tesla in 1913. Simulations demonstrated the theoretical superiority of this design over existing centrifugal pumps for blood recirculation, and provided insights for future avenues of research into this technology. A miniature, battery-powered, multimodal sensor suite for the in-line monitoring of a blood perfusion circuit was designed and implemented. This was named the ‘SmartPipe’, and proved capable of simultaneously monitoring temperature, pressure and blood oxygen saturations over the biologically-relevant ranges of each modality. Finally, the Thesis details the successful implementation and optimisation of a combined microfluidic and microdialysis system for the real-time quantitation of creatinine in blood or urine through amperometric sensing, to act as a live renal function monitor. The range of detection was 4.3μM – 500μM, with the possibility of extending this in both directions. This work also details and explores a novel methodology for functional monitoring in closed-loop systems which avoids the need for sensor calibration, and potentially overcomes the problems of sensor drift and desensitisation.
Self-consistent temperature dependence of quasiparticle bands in monolayer FeSe on SrTiO$_3$

description: We study the temperature evolution of the quasiparticle bands of the FeSe monolayer on the SrTiO$_3$ (STO) substrate from 10 to 300 K by applying the anisotropic, multiband and full-bandwidth Eliashberg theory. To achieve this, we extend this theory by self-consistently coupling the chemical potential to the full set of Eliashberg equations. In this way, the electron filling can accurately be kept at a constant level at any temperature. Solving the coupled equations self-consistently, and with focus on the interfacial electron-phonon coupling, we compute a nearly constant Fermi surface with respect to temperature and predict a non-trivial temperature evolution of the global chemical potential. This evolution includes a total shift of 5 meV when increasing temperature from 10 to 300 K and a hump-like dependence followed by a kink at the critical temperature T$_c$. We argue that the latter behavior indicates that superconductivity in FeSe/SrTiO$_3$ is near to the BCS-BEC crossover regime. Calculating the temperature dependent Angle Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy (ARPES) spectra, we suggest a new route to determine the energy scale of the interfacial phonon mode by measuring the energy position of second-order replica bands. Further, we re-examine the often used symmetrization procedure applied to such ARPES curves and demonstrate substantial asymmetric deviations. Lastly, our results reveal important aspects for the experimental determination of the momentum anisotropy of the superconducting gap.
Morphology of Star Formation Regions in Irregular Galaxies

description: The location of HII regions, which indicates the locus of present star formation in galaxies, is analyzed for a large collection of 110 irregular galaxies (Irr) imaged in H$α$ and nearby continuum. The analysis is primarily by visual inspection, although a two-dimensional quantitative measure is also employed. The two different analyses yield essentially identical results. HII regions appear preferentially at the edges of the light distribution, predominantly on one side of the galaxy, contrary to what is expected from stochastic self-propagating star formation scenarios. This peculiar distribution of star forming regions cannot be explained by a scenario of star formation triggered by an interaction with extragalactic gas, or by a strong one-armed spiral pattern.

description:

For the last six and a half centuries, a lot has been written about Ge ware, but mostly in a fragmentary way that has made the understanding of this ceramic ware complex and confusing. Major archaeological excavations of the past 30 years have provided scholars with an unprecedented and unexpected wealth of material that has allowed them to piece together a much more detailed history of Chinese ceramics from the 10th to the fourteenth century (and beyond). However, the identification of Ge ware and its production place still elude the academic community. After analysing ancient literary records on Ge ware and related archaeological excavations, this paper suggests a new approach to the subject in the attempt to break the deadlock in which experts have got entangled.

Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Chemical Physics (physics.chem-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper, an algorithm is presented to calculate the transition rates between adjacent mesoscopic subvolumes in the presence of flow and diffusion. These rates can be integrated in stochastic simulations of reaction-diffusion systems that follow a mesoscopic approach, i.e., that partition the environment into homogeneous subvolumes and apply the spatial stochastic simulation algorithm (spatial SSA). The rates are derived by integrating Fick's second law over a single subvolume in one dimension (1D), and are also shown to apply in three dimensions (3D). The proposed algorithm corrects the derived rates to ensure that they are physically meaningful and it is implemented in the AcCoRD simulator (Actor-based Communication via Reaction-Diffusion). Simulations using the proposed method are compared with a naive mesoscopic approach, microscopic simulations that track every molecule, and analytical results that are exact in 1D and an approximation in 3D. By choosing subvolumes that are sufficiently small, such that the Peclet number associated with a subvolume is sufficiently less than 2, the accuracy of the proposed method is comparable with the microscopic method, thus enabling the simulation of advection-reaction-diffusion systems with the spatial SSA.

Type Ia Supernova Scenarios and the Hubble Sequence

description: The dependence of the Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) rate on galaxy type is examined for three currently proposed scenarios: merging of a Chandrasekhar--mass CO white dwarf (WD) with a CO WD companion, explosion of a sub--Chandrasekhar mass CO WD induced by accretion of material from a He star companion, and explosion of a sub--Chandrasekhar CO WD in a symbiotic system. The variation of the SNe Ia rate and explosion characteristics with time is derived, and its correlation with parent population age and galaxy redshift is discussed. Among current scenarios, CO + He star systems should be absent from E galaxies. Explosion of CO WDs in symbiotic systems could account for the SNe Ia rate in these galaxies. The same might be true for the CO + CO WD scenario, depending on the value of the common envelope parameter. A testable prediction of the sub--Chandrasekhar WD model is that the average brightness and kinetic energy of the SN Ia events should increase with redshift for a given Hubble type. Also for this scenario, going along the Hubble sequence from E to Sc galaxies SNe Ia events should be brighter on average and should show larger mean velocities of the ejecta. The observational correlations strongly suggest that the characteristics of the SNe Ia explosion are linked to parent population age. The scenario in which WDs with masses below the Chandrasekhar mass explode appears the most promising one to explain the observed variation of the SN Ia rate with galaxy type together with the luminosity--expansion velocity trend.

description: We present near-infrared medium-resolution ($R \sim 875$) spectra of the microquasar GRS 1915+105 on 1997 August 13-15 UTC from the Hale 200-inch telescope. The spectra showed broad emission lines of He I (2.058 $μ$m) and H I (2.166 $μ$m - Br$γ$), consistent with previous work. On August 14 UTC, we took spectra with $\sim 6$-minute time resolution during infrared flaring events similar to those reported in Eikenberry et al. (1998a), which appear to reveal plasma ejection from the system. During the flares, the emission line fluxes varied in approximately linear proportionality to the IR continuum flux, implying that the lines are radiatively pumped by the flares. We also detected a weak He II (2.189 $μ$m) emission line on August 14 UTC. The nature of the line variability and the presence of the He II feature indicate that the emission lines in GRS 1915+105 arise in an accretion disk around the compact object, rather than in the circumstellar disk of a proposed Oe/Be companion. The radiative line pumping also implies that the flare emission originates from ejecta which have moved out of the accretion disk plane.

description: We apply data taken at the $e^+e^-$ collider LEP in the 1990's at center-of-mass energy up to 209 GeV to constrain Dark Matter models with a light leptophobic spin-1 mediator $R$. We assume that the dark sector particle (DSP) is a spin-1/2 fermion $χ$. This scenario is well studied in the context of LHC searches for mediator mass from 100 GeV to several TeV. Emission of the mediator off a quark or antiquark at LEP gives rise to di-jet plus missing energy and 4-jet signatures, which we use to limit the relevant couplings. We focus on scenarios with $2 m_χ> m_R$, which are poorly constrained by LHC data. We recast published searches by the ALEPH collaboration. For $m_χ< 20$ GeV the best bounds result from an analysis at $\sqrt{s} \simeq M_Z$ of di-jet plus missing energy events. For heavier DSP but $m_R < 70$ GeV meaningful bounds can be derived from a four jet analysis at $\sqrt{s} = 183$ GeV. Unfortunately published searches using four jet final states at $\sqrt{s} \simeq M_Z$ use only a small fraction of the total data sample. Moreover, all published searches for di-jet plus missing energy final states at $\sqrt{s} \geq 130$ GeV have poor efficiency for our model; we therefore design new cuts that combine good background rejection with higher efficiency. Re-analyzing the higher energy data using our new cuts, and an analysis of the complete four jet data sample taken at $\sqrt{s}\simeq M_Z$, can explore new regions of parameter space.

description: Land ownership in Brazil is mostly dominated by large estates, except in the three, relatively small, southern states of Parana, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul. In this southern region there are a large number of small-scale agricultural enterprises. Most of these base their production on one main annual crop (usually maize, wheat, common beans or soybeans) and animal production. Pigs and poultry are farmed on a contract basis while dairy production, which has become increasingly important as soybean cultivation has become less viable for small-scale producers, is far more diversified. Milk sales provide the only reliable and regular income source for many of the households in this area and thus are vital to overall livelihoods. Milk production has traditionally been the responsibility of women. Over the past decade a range of different developments has put increasing pressure on the milk sector. First, the Mercosul free trade agreement between Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay has opened up markets to foreign competition. This has particularly affected the markets for processed dairy products. Second, the Brazilian economy has been going through a process of adjustment. Implementation of the National Adjustment Plan began in 1994 but pressure has been mounting since 1991 when the government ceased to intervene in price setting in the dairy sub-sector. Third, poor soil fertility management and the increasing price of capital inputs have reduced the viability of soybean production, encouraging more farmers to turn to milk. Fourth, aggressive expansion by the Italian dairy company, Parmalat, has altered the traditional structure of the overall dairy industry and as a result dairy companies have been putting increasing pressure on small producers. Although the situation remains fluid, two main responses to these changes are noted. The first involves the promotion of productivity-enhancing measures by NGOs and dairy development projects. The second is a spontaneous political reaction by farmers who have come together in a variety of modern and traditional organisations to resist change and promote their own vision of development.

description: Over the past five decades, extensive cooperation has persisted among the industrial countries. Most theories of international politics can only partially, if at all, explain this. Their weakness is that states are treated as unitary actors, and domestic politics is ignored. A general theory of the conditions under which states will cooperate requires consideration of domestic politics. Our goal is to present a formal model revealing how domestic politics affects international cooperation. Our model examines the interaction between international negotiations and domestic politics. It focuses on the structure of domestic actors' preferences, the beliefs of political actors, and the degree of internal divisions as explanatory factors. We try to systematize the counterintuitive argument that more domestic divisions may increase the president's or prime minister's international bargaining capabilities. Generally, we demonstrate how domestic divisions affect international negotiations; in particular, we examine the effects of "divided government" on the substance of international agreements. We also seek to illuminate the extent of autonomy of the executive in foreign negotiations, given the constraints of the domestic political system. We show, first, in many cases international agreement is less likely when domestic actors are more divided. Second, the degree of autonomy available to the executive depends on the beliefs of the legislature about the nature of the international agreement negotiated by the executive and the structure of domestic preferences. In many cases, the conventional wisdom that increases in the divisions among domestic actors augment the degree of executive autonomy does not hold. The degree of executive autonomy is a function of the type of cleavages in domestic politics, not just in their magnitude.

description: We reanalyze the detection possibilities for gravitational waves arising from cosmological first order phase transitions. We discuss the stochastic gravitational wave background corresponding to the three expected scenarios of phase transition dynamics. We then perform an analysis on the detection possibilities for each case using sensitivities for the next generation ground-based detector Cosmic Explorer and the current LISA proposal, using two analysis methods. We find that having both detectors allows wide detection possibilities over much of the parameter space, including that corresponding to several points relevant to different early Universe models.

Spatial stochastic population models for the analysis of city–scale systems
Creators: name: Günther, Marcel Christoph
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: Recent advances in technology have led to a surge in innovations in the area of spatially aware applications such as locally operating social networks, retail, advertising, local weather and traffic services. Such applications are often supported by large data-collection and dissemination processes, designed to work on large-scale, inexpensive, infrastructure-light wireless \adhoc networks. As a consequence, novel modelling techniques are required for the purpose of capacity planning and in order to build on-line prediction models based on large quantities of location-aware data. In this thesis we study the spatio-temporal evolution of population systems related to such city-scale challenges. In particular we focus on large-scale, spatial population processes that are not amenable to fluid-flow or mean-field approximation techniques because of locally or temporarily varying population sizes. Our main contributions are - Providing novel ways of incorporating space and mobility in large-scale spatial populations models. - Illustrating how, for a certain class of spatial population processes, the time-evolution of higher-order population moments can be obtained efficiently using hybrid-simulation analysis. - Presenting case studies for realistic spatial systems from different application areas to show that our modelling techniques are well-suited for the analysis of network and protocol performance of static and mobile \adhoc communication networks as well as for building fast on-line prediction models.
On the formation of low-mass black holes in massive binary stars

description: Recently (Brown \& Bethe 1994) it was suggested that most stars with main sequence mass in the range of about $18 - 30 M_{\odot}$ explode, returning matter to the Galaxy, and then go into low-mass ($\geq 1.5 M_{\odot}$) black holes. Even more massive main-sequence stars would, presumably, chiefly g o into high-mass ($\sim 10 M_{\odot}$) black holes. The Brown-Bethe estimates gave approximately $5 \times {10}^{8}$ low-mass black holes in the Galaxy. A pressing question, which we attempt to answer here, is why, with the possible exception of the compact objects in SN1987A and 4U\,1700--37, none of these have been seen. We address this question in three parts. Firstly, black holes are generally ``seen'' only in binaries, by the accretion of matter from a companion star. High mass black holes are capable of accreting more matter than low-mass black holes, so there is a selection effect favoring them. This, in itself, would not be sufficient to show why low-mass black holes have not been seen, since neutron stars (of nearly the same mass) are seen in abundance. Secondly, and this is our main point, the primary star in a binary ---the first star to evolve--- loses its hydrogen envelope by transfer of matter to the secondary and loss into space, and the resulting ``naked'' helium star evolves differently than a helium core, which is at least initially covered by the hydrogen envelope in a massive main-sequence star. We show that primary stars in binaries can end up as neutron stars even if their initial mass substantially exceeds the mass limit for neutron star formation from single stars ($\sim 18 M_{\odot}$). An example is 4U\,1223--62, in which we suggest that the initial primary mass exceeded $35 M_{\odot}$, yet X-ray pulsations

A Note on the Formal Groups of Weighted Delsarte Threefolds

description: One-dimensional formal groups over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic are classified by their height. In the case of $K3$ surfaces, the height of their formal groups takes integer values between $1$ and $10$, or $\infty$. For Calabi-Yau threefolds, the height is bounded by $h^{1,2}+1$ if it is finite, where $h^{1,2}$ is a Hodge number. At present, there are only a limited number of concrete examples for explicit values or the distribution of the height. In this paper, we consider Calabi-Yau threefolds arising from weighted Delsarte threefolds in positive characteristic. We describe an algorithm for computing the height of their formal groups and carry out calculations with various Calabi-Yau threefolds of Delsarte type.

description: Ubiquitous computing helps make data and services available to users anytime and anywhere. This makes the cooperation of devices a crucial need. In return, such cooperation causes an overload of the devices and/or networks, resulting in network malfunction and suspension of its activities. Our goal in this paper is to propose an approach of devices reconfiguration in order to help to reduce the energy consumption in ubiquitous environments. The idea is that when high-energy consumption is detected, we proceed to a change in component distribution on the devices to reduce and/or balance the energy consumption. We also investigate the possibility to detect high-energy consumption of devices/network based on devices abilities. As a result, our idea realizes a reconfiguration of devices aimed at reducing the consumption of energy and/or load balancing in ubiquitous environments.

description: We compute the temperature and IR signal of particles of radius $a$ and albedo $α$ at heliocentric distance $R$, taking into account the emissivity effect, and give an interpolating formula for the result. We compare with analyses of COBE DIRBE data by others (including recent detection of the cosmic IR background) for various values of heliocentric distance, $R$, particle radius, $a$, and particle albedo, $α$. We then apply these results to a recently-developed picture of the Kuiper belt as a two-sector disk with a nearby, low-density sector (40
