description: Aims: A unique environment to study how interstellar Complex Organic Molecules (iCOMs) can be formed is the shocked gas along low-mass protostellar outflows, as the dust mantles composition is sputtered into the gas phase. The chemical richness in these environments has been so far studied only in the L1157 blue shifted outflow. Methods: To understand if the L1157-B1 case is unique, we imaged the NGC 1333 IRAS 4A outflows using the NOEMA (NOrthern Extended Millimeter Array) interferometer as part of the IRAM SOLIS (Seeds Of Life in Space) Large Program and compared the observations with the GRAINOBLE+ gas phase astrochemical model. Results: Several iCOMs were detected in the IRAS 4A outflows: methanol (CH$_3$OH), acetaldehyde (CH$_3$CHO), formamide (NH$_2$CHO) and dimethyl ether (CH$_3$OCH$_3$), all sampling upper excitation energy up to $\sim$30 K. We found a significant chemical differentiation between the IRAS 4A1 outflow, showing a richer molecular content, and the IRAS 4A2 one. The CH$_3$OH/CH$_3$CHO abundance ratio is lower by a factor $\sim$4 in the former; furthermore the ratio in both outflows is lower by a factor $\sim$10 with respect to hot corinos values. Conclusions: After L1157-B1, IRAS 4A outflow is now the second outflow to show an evident chemical complexity. Given that CH$_3$OH is a grain surface species, GRAINOBLE+ reproduced our observations assuming acetaldehyde formation in gas phase by the reaction of ethyl radical (CH$_3$CH$_2$) with atomic oxygen. Moreover, the chemical differentiation between the two outflows suggests that the IRAS 4A1 outflow is likely younger than the IRAS 4A2 one. Further investigation is needed to constrain the age of the outflow and observations of even younger shocks are necessary and future spectroscopic studies on CH$_3$CH$_2$ are needed to be able to observe this species and provide strong constraints on the CH$_3$CHO formation.

description: For general quantum systems the power expansion of the Gibbs potential and consequently the power expansion of the self energy is derived in terms of the interaction strength. Employing a generalization of the projector technique a compact representation of the general terms of the expansion results. The general aspects of the approach are discussed with special emphasis on the effects characteristic for quantum systems. The expansion is systematic and leads directly to contributions beyond mean-field of all thermodynamic quantities. These features are explicitly demonstrated and illustrated for two non-trivial systems, the infinite range quantum spin glass and the weakly interacting Bose gas. The Onsager terms of both systems are calculated, which represent the first beyond mean-field contributions. For the spin glass new TAP-like equations are presented and discussed in the paramagnetic region. The investigation of the Bose gas leads to a beyond mean-field thermodynamic description. At the Bose-Einstein condensation temperature complete agreement is found with the results presented recently by alternative techniques.

Selecting damped Lyman-alpha systems through CaII absorption. I: Dust depletions and reddening at z~1

description: We use the average E(B-V) and ZnII column densities of a sample of z~1 CaII (3935, 3970) absorption line systems selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS DR4) to show that on average, with conservative assumptions regarding metallicities and dust-to-gas ratios, they contain column densities of neutral hydrogen greater than the damped Lyman-alpha (DLA) limit. We propose that selection by CaII absorption is an effective way of identifying high column densities of neutral hydrogen, and thus large samples of DLAs at z<1.3 from the SDSS. The number density of strong CaII absorbers (with rest-frame equivalent width W_3935>0.5AA), is ~20-30% that of DLAs, after correcting for the significant bias against their detection due to obscuration of the background quasars by dust. On average these absorbers have E(B-V)>0.1mag; the dustiest absorbers show depletions of refractory elements at a level of the largest depletions seen in DLAs. For the first time we can measure the dust-to-metals ratio in a sample of absorption selected galaxies, and find values close to, or even larger than, those observed locally. All of these properties suggest that a substantial fraction of the CaII absorbers are more chemically evolved than typical DLAs. From consideration of the E(B-V) distribution in our sample, and assuming CaII absorbers represent a subset of DLAs, we calculate that dust obscuration causes an underestimation in the number density of DLAs by at least 8-12% at these redshifts. Finally, the removal of Broad Absorption Line (BAL) quasars from the SDSS quasar sample increases the sensitivity of the detection of reddening by intervening absorbers. To this end, we describe a new, automated, principal component analysis (PCA) method for identifying BAL quasars. [abridged]

description: Background: Separable interactions have a long history in nuclear physics. In the last few years, separable expansions have been used to represent the optical potential between a nucleon (proton or neutron) and a target. Purpose: We explore the non-local properties of these separable optical potentials as well as their convergence behavior. Method: For a couple of cases, we use the generalized Ersnt-Shakin-Thaler scheme to generate separable interactions starting from local optical potentials. We study the variation of the interaction with energy range and rank. Results: We find that, overall the off-diagonal behavior of the converged separable interaction deviates from the Gaussian form assumed by Perey and Buck. However, in the region surrounding the maximum depth the Gaussian form works quite well. Focusing on this region, we study potentials describing neutron elastic scattering on $^{16}$O and $^{48}$Ca for beam energies in the range of $ E=$10-50 MeV and explore several measures of non-locality of the separable interactions. Conclusions: When the energy range considered for generating the separable interaction is $0\le E_{range}\le 50$ MeV, the resulting non-locality is large and target dependent. Contrarily, the nonlocality obtained including larger energy ranges in the separable procedure is independent of the target and other details of the original local potential. We find that, even when including in the expansion many support points with energy ranges $0\le E_{range}\le 2400$ MeV, the resulting potential retains non-local behavior. Connections with microscopic optical potentials as well as other transformations used in the nucleon-nucleon domain are made.

The algorithm motivated by \cite{MB, BKM}, allows the agents to move in space in a non-stationary environment. Our method is applicable to finding the boundary of any regular surface and may be of interest for for studying motions of swarms in biology, as well as to engineering applications where boundary detection is an issue.

Human rights in a world of states : global norms and the evolution of political space
Creators: name: Lui, Andrew
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This inquiry explores the tension between state sovereignty and universal human rights. Research is based on the foundational question: are state sovereignty and human rights reconcilable within the framework of international society? This question is then divided into three discrete questions, along the topics of normative theory, international organization and norm change, which are dealt with in three respective chapters. Chapter One problematizes the moral purpose of the sovereign state, how it has changed and continues to change over time, and how global norms of human rights have introduced constraints on state sovereignty, both de jure and de facto. Global norms of human rights are essentially gaining power because the protection of the fundamental unit of political agency—the individual human being—is the present most effective means to ensure the fundamental values of political equality and diversity in the international realm. Chapter Two follows by explaining how changes in the moral purpose of the state translate into changes in international organization. This chapter reveals that both centralized and decentralized authorities structure international society. The case of international law and the International Criminal Court (ICC) is used to provide empirical evidence of structures of international vertical and horizontal legitimacy that fall into the latter typology and thereby structure international political behaviour. Chapter Three surveys the question of human rights entrepreneurship. It builds upon the successes and shortcomings of existing constructivist discourse to show how human rights entrepreneurs can induce norm change through the pedagogical techniques of norm life cycles. This thesis attempts to offer a more accurate conceptual account of change in international relations.

description: Gauge theories of gravity provide an elegant and promising extension of general relativity. In this paper we show that the Poincaré gauge theory exhibits gravity-induced birefringence under the assumption of a specific gauge invariant nonminimal coupling between torsion and Maxwell's field. Furthermore we give for the first time an explicit expression for the induced phaseshift between two orthogonal polarization modes within the Poincaré framework. Since such a phaseshift can lead to a depolarization of light emitted from an extended source this effect is, in principle, observable. We use white dwarf polarimetric data to constrain the essential coupling constant responsible for this effect.

Gli attori inglesi nella contesa tra Court e City per il controllo del teatro pubblico (1572-1606)
Creators: name: Barbieri, Maria Chiara
Publisher: name: Drammaturgia
Year: 2021

description: The essay focuses on the conflict between the monarchy and the City authorities over control of theatrical activities that developed in the last decades of the reign of Elizabeth I and in the early years of James I. The conflict arose when an act of the Parliament, the latest and best-known version of the Vagabond Act (1572), allowed companies of actors who enjoyed noble patronage to seek out a paying audience when their services were not required by the Sovereign or their patrons. Anxiety about losing power and social control, which could endanger public order and health security in an overcrowded London, led civil authorities to hinder socialising (and morally disputed) activities such as attending public theatres. In that situation, the players inevitably were the earthenware pot that clashed with the iron pot of the City authorities, occasionally even with that of the Court, as evidenced by the selected cases of arraignment, arrest and imprisonment of actors examined in the essay. The study concludes with the analysis of another important ordinance of the Parliament, An Acte to Restrain Abuses of Players (1606), which seeks to control the acting texts by imposing heavy fines on the performers for what they do and say on stage.

Observational Constraints on the Ages of Molecular Clouds and the Star-Formation Timescale: Ambipolar-Diffusion--Controlled or Turbulence-Induced Star Formation?

description: We revisit the problem of the star formation timescale and the ages of molecular clouds. The apparent overabundance of star-forming molecular clouds over clouds without active star formation has been thought to indicate that molecular clouds are "short-lived" and that star formation is "rapid". We show that this statistical argument lacks self-consistency and, even within the rapid star-formation scenario, implies cloud lifetimes of approximately 10 Myr. We discuss additional observational evidence from external galaxies that indicate lifetimes of molecular clouds and a timescale of star formation of approximately 10 Myr . These long cloud lifetimes in conjunction with the rapid (approximately 1 Myr) decay of supersonic turbulence present severe difficulties for the scenario of turbulence-controlled star formation. By contrast, we show that all 31 existing observations of objects for which the linewidth, the size, and the magnetic field strength have been reliably measured are in excellent quantitative agreement with the predictions of the ambipolar-diffusion theory. Within the ambipolar-diffusion-controlled star formation theory the linewidths may be attributed to large-scale non-radial cloud oscillations (essentially standing large-amplitude, long-wavelength Alfven waves), and the predicted relation between the linewidth, the size, and the magnetic field is a natural consequence of magnetic support of self-gravitating clouds.

description: In this paper, we propose an adaptive weighting regression (AWR) method to leverage the advantages of both detection-based and regression-based methods. Hand joint coordinates are estimated as discrete integration of all pixels in dense representation, guided by adaptive weight maps. This learnable aggregation process introduces both dense and joint supervision that allows end-to-end training and brings adaptability to weight maps, making the network more accurate and robust. Comprehensive exploration experiments are conducted to validate the effectiveness and generality of AWR under various experimental settings, especially its usefulness for different types of dense representation and input modality. Our method outperforms other state-of-the-art methods on four publicly available datasets, including NYU, ICVL, MSRA and HANDS 2017 dataset.

ECONOMETRIC ESTIMATION OF THE DEMAND FOR MEAT IN SOUTH AFRICA

description: In this study the demand relations for meat in South Africa are estimated and interpreted. Two demand model specifications, namely the Rotterdam and Linearized Almost Ideal Demand System (LA/AIDS), were estimated and tested in order to determine which model provide the best fit for South African meat data. Tests for separability included an F and Likelihood ratio version. Both tests rejected the null hypothesis of weak separability between meat, eggs and milk as protein sources, indicating that the demand model for meat products should be estimated separately from eggs and milk. Consequently, separability tests between the four meat products fail to reject the null hypothesis, confirming that the four meat products should be modelled together. According to the Hausman exogeneity test, the expenditure term is exogenous. As a result, a Restricted Seemingly Unrelated Regression (RSUR) was used to estimate both models. Annual time series data from 1970 to 2000 were used. Both models were estimated in first differenced format, whereafter the estimated parameters were used to calculate compensated, uncompensated and expenditure elasticities. In a non-nested test, the Saragan's and Vuong's likelihood criterion, selected the LA/AIDS model. In terms of expected sign and statistical significance of the elasticities, the LA/AIDS also proved to be more suitable for South African meat data. Although the magnitudes of most own price and cross-price elasticities were significantly lower than previous estimates of demand relations for meat in South Africa, several reasons, including estimation techniques and time gaps, were offered as explanations for these differences. The uncompensated own price elasticity for beef (-0.7504) is the largest in absolute terms, followed by mutton (-0.4678), pork (-0.36972) and chicken (-0.3502). In terms of the compensated own price elasticities, which contain only the pure price effect, pork (-0.30592) was the most elastic, followed by mutton (-0.27713), chicken (-0.1939) and beef (-0.16111). The expenditure elasticities of beef (1.243) and mutton (1.181) are greater than one, indicating that beef and mutton are luxury goods in South Africa. The expenditure elasticity for beef is the most elastic; indicating that South African consumers as a whole, will increase their beef consumption as the total expenditure on meat products increase.

description: Within the framework of the European Union's Horizon 2020 initiative 'MEET (Multi-Sites EGS Demonstration)', we are conducting fracture permeability experiments at elevated confining pressures, pc, temperatures, T, and axial differential stresses, 𝜎, representing in situ conditions. Experiments are focusing on saw-cut (self-propped) slate samples recovered from the Hahnenklee drill site, located in the Harz Mountains (GER), which is believed to represent a potential unconventional EGS reservoir formation within Variscan metamorphic rocks. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) in addition to high resolution scanning electron microscopy (SEM) performed on polished thin sections of undeformed samples reveal a fine-grained, anisotropic slate matrix with an average grain size of d ≤ 50 µm, mainly consisting of mechanically strong quartz, carbonate minerals and relatively weak phyllosilicates. Porosity, estimated by He-pycnometry is <1-2%. Stress-strain curves recorded in constant strain rate tests at pc = 50 MPa and T = 100°C display brittle deformation behavior with considerably higher strength for samples loaded perpendicular to bedding than parallel to bedding. Preliminary results of fracture permeability experiments performed at ambient temperature on analogue (shale) samples containing a rough artificial fracture show a pronounced permeability decrease by more than one order of magnitude by increasing the confining pressure from 5 to 20 MPa. In addition, increasing T from 20°C to 70°C results in a reduction of permeability, but less pronounced if compared to the influence of pc. At pc = 25 MPa, a stepwise increase of 𝜎 from 0 to 35 MPa, applied perpendicular to the fracture surface, reveals a decrease of the initial permeability by about 50 %. Our results suggest that the fracture closure behavior of the investigated rocks highly depends on the applied pc-T-𝜎 conditions. Additional tests will be performed to investigate the influence of fracture roughness, proppant agents, shear deformation and fluid composition on the fracture sealing behavior of unconventional EGS reservoir rocks.

description: There is a need for decarbonization in all sectors, including transportation, construction and mining.Solutions are required for the high energy and power demanding heavy-duty applications, where the use of batteries or hydrogen is challenging or not even feasible.These applications need a high energy density, which a liquid fuel can supply.From the renewable fuels currently investigated around the globe, methanol comes out as a very promising candidate.Methanol has excellent fuel properties, and is very well suited for the use in internal combustion engines.Today cars with methanol engines are already running in China.There is only one problem, the use of methanol in the largest engines comes with some challenges.A solution to this is the use of dual-fuel engines running on methanol assisted with a diesel pilot.The dual-fuel engine technology is currently being adopted in the shipping sector.This is a great technology, but still relies partially on diesel fuel.As these engines are ready for take-up by industry, research is ready for the next step: dedicated engines.Dedicated engines running on 100% renewable methanol are required to completely remove fossil fuels from the equation.Promising techniques are being develloped to solve these challenges.One of these techniques is pre-chamber combustion.The use of a pre-chamber enables the combustion of 100% renewable methanol in all size engines.Despite the promising ideas, this technology still has to prove itself feasible.The goal of this research is to look into the technical possibilities and challenges of prechamber combustion.To understand the fundamental combustion processes, and get a grasp of attainable efficiencies and emissions.This insight will be achieved by running tests both in an optical accessible combustion chamber as well as in a real heavy-duty engine.

description: The GLIMPSE and MSX surveys have been used to examine the mid-infrared properties of a statistically complete sample of 6.7 GHz methanol masers. The GLIMPSE point sources associated with methanol masers are clearly distinguished from the majority, typically having extremely red mid-infrared colors, similar to those expected of low-mass class 0 young stellar objects. The intensity of the GLIMPSE sources associated with methanol masers is typically 4 magnitudes brighter at 8.0 micron than at 3.6 micron. Targeted searches towards GLIMPSE point sources with [3.6]-[4.5] > 1.3 and an 8.0 micron magnitude less than 10 will detect more than 80% of class II methanol masers. Many of the methanol masers are associated with sources within infrared dark clouds (IRDC) which are believed to mark regions where high-mass star formation is in its very early stages. The presence of class II methanol masers in a significant fraction of IRDC suggests that high-mass star formation is common in these regions. Different maser species are thought to trace different evolutionary phases of the high-mass star formation process. Comparison of the properties of the GLIMPSE sources associated with class II methanol masers and other maser species shows interesting trends, consistent with class I methanol masers tracing a generally earlier evolutionary phase and OH masers tracing a later evolutionary phase.

description: This paper examines the reform of water and irrigation management in Africa and compares it with similar reforms in Asia. Several things are evident from the review. First, Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is at an earlier stage of irrigation development and reform than Asia. Second, the articulated need for reform is much stronger in Asia than it is in SSA. Third, the productivity of small-scale irrigated farms is significantly lower in SSA compared to Asia. Thus any irrigation investment strategy in SSA should be different from Asia and focus on increasing small-farm productivity as well as small-scale irrigation projects. Finally, all direct government irrigation investments should be done jointly with decisions regarding the type of project management.

Exact Site Percolation Thresholds Using the Site-to-Bond and Star-Triangle Transformations

description: I construct a two-dimensional lattice on which the inhomogeneous site percolation threshold is exactly calculable and use this result to find two more lattices on which the site thresholds can be determined. The primary lattice studied here, the ``martini lattice'', is a hexagonal lattice with every second site transformed into a triangle. The site threshold of this lattice is found to be $0.764826...$, while the others have $0.618034...$ and $1/\sqrt{2}$. This last solution suggests a possible approach to establishing the bound for the hexagonal site threshold, $p_c<1/\sqrt{2}$. To derive these results, I solve a correlated bond problem on the hexagonal lattice by use of the star-triangle transformation and then, by a particular choice of correlations, solve the site problem on the martini lattice.

description: A novel method for increasing the extinction ratio of plasmonic waveguide polarizer has been investigated in this work. Aluminum was coated in a 20 microns multi-strips pattern on the top of a SU-8 waveguide to excite the surface plasmons. Simulation and experimental results have been shown the extinction ratio of the multi-strip polarizer is more than the single strip ones with the same total aluminum-coated length due to the coupling loss between Al coated and uncoated region and also the scattering at the edge of metal. This polarizer was characterized over a wide range of wavelengths and showed a high extinction ratio of 46 dB at 1550 nm and 26.8 dB at 980 nm wavelengths.
Evaluation of protein utilisation of vacuum microwave, air, and freeze-dried Euphausia pacifica in a rat model
Creators: name: Landymore, Corrie Lorraine
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Euphausia pacifica was dried using vacuum microwave blanching at a high temperature followed by air-drying (VH), vacuum microwave dehydrating (VMD) at a low temperature (VL), freeze-drying (FD), and hydrolysis plus freeze-drying (HZ). The effect of the drying method on the protein utilisation by young rats was evaluated. Five groups of fats were each fed an isocaloric diet containing 25.9 ± 0.2 % protein from one of five sources. The protein sources were casein (CA) as the control protein, and the four dehydrated krill samples (VH, VL, FD, and HZ). The results showed that the inclusion of the dehydrated Euphausia pacifica as the only source of protein in the feeds resulted in significantly reduced (p ≤ 0.05) body weight gains, feed intakes, protein efficiency ratios (P.E.R.), and nitrogen balances as compared to the CA control group. The nitrogen balance of the HZ group was significantly higher (p ≤ 0.05) than those of the VL and FD groups. There were no significant differences (p ≤ 0.05) in the apparent digestibilities of the CA, VL, FD, and HZ feeds. The VH feed had an apparent digestibility that was significantly lower (p ≤ 0.05) than the other experimental feeds. No significant differences (p ≥ 0.05) amongst the experimental groups were noted for apparent biological values (B.V.), apparent net protein utilisations (N.P.U.), or apparent urinary nitrogen losses. The available lysine content of the VH feed was significantly lower (p ≤ 0.05) than the other feeds. Only the FD group had a plasma α-amino nitrogen level significantly lower (p ≤ 0.05) than the CA control group; however, it was not statistically different (p ≥ 0.05) from the other krill meal fed groups. The rates of proteolysis of the VL, FD, and HZ feeds with added chitinase were all significantly faster (p ≤ 0.05), and the VH feed showed a trend towards being faster, than the rates of proteolysis of these feeds without the added chitinase. Fluoride levels in the VH, VL, FD, and HZ feeds were correlated with a reduction (p ≤ 0.05) the rats' feed intakes and weight gains. Drying Euphausiapacifica significantly reduced (p ≤ 0.05) or destroyed protease activity. Overall, fluoride present in the krill meals was correlated to a decrease (p ≤ 0.05) in the rats' feed intake, which affected the values of the biological methods used for assessing protein quality and utilisation. The method used to dehydrate Euphausia pacifica did not statistically (p ≥ 0.05) affect protein utilisation in the rat model.

Land Economics/Use

description: Land reform has traditionally had two objectives: equity and productivity. Food insecurity and the need for agriculture to contribute to development emphasise the need to maintain and improve productivity while improving equitability. Land must foster production and agriculture must attract good human material. The main problem involves policy formulation and delivery Necessary conditions include: (1) A proper institutional framework involving all the relevant public and private bodies: the role and tasks of each should be clear, and also relationships between institutions. (2)Proper fiscal planning is essential. (3) Potentially successful farmers must be selected and given special support, including extension and adult education. Existing extension services are generally not adequate, particularly in the fields of finance and marketing. (4) Complementary services and infrastructure are needed in the form of improved access to financial services, markets and inputs and also improved transport, health, communications and other infrastructure. (5) As not all functions can be done at the same time, proper prioritising is needed to optimise the process. (6) Land tenure reform is usually necessary: property rights and security of tenure are at the core of the matter. International agricultural markets are very important: there is a need for wealthy nations to cease trade-distorting protection of their own farmers.

A Minimally Fine-Tuned Supersymmetric Standard Model

description: We construct supersymmetric theories in which the correct scale for electroweak symmetry breaking is obtained without significant fine-tuning. We calculate the fine-tuning parameter for these theories to be at the 20% level, which is significantly better than in conventional supersymmetry breaking scenarios. Supersymmetry breaking occurs at a low scale of order 100 TeV, and is transmitted to the supersymmetric standard-model sector through standard-model gauge interactions. The Higgs sector contains two Higgs doublets and a singlet field, with a superpotential that takes the most general form allowed by gauge invariance. An explicit model is constructed in 5D warped space with supersymmetry broken on the infrared brane. We perform a detailed analysis of electroweak symmetry breaking for this model, and demonstrate that the fine-tuning is in fact reduced. A new candidate for dark matter is also proposed, which arises from the extended Higgs sector of the model. Finally, we discuss a purely 4D theory which may also significantly reduce fine-tuning.
