description: We investigate universality of the Eulerian velocity structure functions using velocity fields obtained from the stereoscopic particle image velocimetry (SPIV) technique in experiments and the direct numerical simulations (DNS) of the Navier-Stokes equations. We show that the numerical and experimental velocity structure functions up to order 9 follow a log-universality; we find that they collapse on a universal curve, if we use units that include logarithmic dependence on the Reynolds number. We then investigate the meaning and consequences of such log-universality, and show that it is connected with the properties of a "multifractal free energy", based on an analogy between multifractal and themodynamics. We show that in such a framework, the existence of a fluctuating dissipation scale is associated with a phase transition describing the relaminarisation of rough velocity fields with different Holder exponents. Such a phase transition has been already observed using the Lagrangian velocity structure functions, but was so far believed to be out of reach for the Eulerian data.

description: Actuarial senescence has been viewed for a long time as an inevitable and uniform process. However, the work on senescence has mainly focused on endotherms with deterministic growth and low regeneration capacity during the adult stage, leading to a strong taxonomic bias in the study of ageing. Recent studies have highlighted that senescence could indeed display highly variable trajectories that correlate with species life-history traits. Slow life histories and indeterminate growth seem to be associated with weak and late senescence. Furthermore, high regenerative abilities could lead to negligible senescence in ectotherms. However, demographic data for species that would allow testing of these hypotheses are scarce. Here, we investigated senescence patterns in ‘true salamanders’ from the Western Palearctic. Our results showed that salamanders have slow life histories and that they experience negligible senescence. This pattern was consistent at both intra- and interspecific levels, suggesting that the absence of senescence may be a phylogenetically conserved trait. The regenerative capacities of salamanders, in combination with other physiological and developmental features such as an indeterminate growth and a low metabolic rate, likely explain why these small ectotherms have lifespans similar to that of large endotherms and, in contrast with most amniotes, undergo negligible senescence. Our study seriously challenges the idea that senescence is a ubiquitous phenomenon in the tree of life.

description: The modernization of the power system introduces technologies that may improve the system's efficiency by enhancing the capabilities of users. Despite their potential benefits, such technologies can have a negative impact. This subject has widely analyzed, mostly considering for-profit electric utilities. However, the literature has a gap regarding the impact of new technologies on non-profit utilities. In this work, we quantify the price of anarchy of non-profit utilities, that is, the cost caused by lack of coordination of users. We find that users, in the worst case, can consume up to twice the optimal demand, obtaining a small fraction of the optimal surplus. For this reason, we leverage the theory of mechanism design to design an incentive scheme that reduces the inefficiencies of the system, which preserves the privacy of users. We illustrate with simulations the efficiency loss of the system and show two instances of incentive mechanism that satisfy either budget balance and budget deficit.

description: We detect 21-cm emission from the Low Surface Brightness (LSB) galaxy SBS 1543+593, which gives rise to a Damped Lyman-alpha (DLA) absorption line in the spectrum of the background QSO HS 1543+5921 (z=0.807). We obtain an accurate measure of the velocity of the H I gas in the LSB galaxy, v=2868 km/s, and derive a mass of 1.3e9 solar masses. We compare this value with limits obtained towards two other z~0.1 DLA systems, and show that SBS 1543+593 would not have been detected. Hence LSB galaxies similar to SBS 1543+593 can be responsible for DLA systems at even modest redshifts without being detectable from their 21-cm emission.

description: We present photometry and spectroscopy of HT Camelopardalis, a recently discovered X-ray-bright cataclysmic variable. The spectrum shows bright lines of H, He I, and He II, all moving with a period of 0.059712(1) d, which we interpret as the orbital period. The star's brightness varies with a strict period of 515.0592(2) s, and a mean full amplitude of 0.11 mag. These properties qualify it as a /bona fide/ DQ Herculis star (intermediate polar) -- in which the magnetism of the rapidly rotating white dwarf channels accretion flow to the surface. Normally at V=17.8, the star shows rare and very brief outbursts to V=12-13. We observed one in December 2001, and found that the 515 s pulse amplitude had increased by a factor of ~100 (in flux units). A transient orbital signal may also have appeared.

description: Spontaneous symmetry breaking has been a paradigm to describe the phase transitions in condensed matter physics. In addition to the continuous electromagnetic gauge symmetry, an unconventional superconductor can break discrete symmetries simultaneously, such as time reversal and lattice rotational symmetry. In this work we report a characteristic in-plane 2-fold behaviour of the resistive upper critical field and point-contact spectra on the superconducting semimetal PbTaSe2 with topological nodal-rings, despite its hexagonal lattice symmetry (or D_3h in bulk while C_3v on surface, to be precise). However, we do not observe any lattice rotational symmetry breaking signal from field-angle-dependent specific heat. It is worth noting that such surface-only electronic nematicity is in sharp contrast to the observation in the topological superconductor candidate, CuxBi2Se3, where the nematicity occurs in various bulk measurements. In combination with theory, superconducting nematicity is likely to emerge from the topological surface states of PbTaSe2, rather than the proximity effect. The issue of time reversal symmetry breaking is also addressed. Thus, our results on PbTaSe2 shed new light on possible routes to realize nematic superconductivity with nontrivial topology.

description: We discuss H-band (1.65 micrometer) near-infrared photometry of the central 3x3h^{-2} Mpc^2 of Abell 1644 to a limiting M_H~M^*_H+3 (throughout this paper H_0=100 h km s^{-1} Mpc^{-1}). There are 861 galaxies in the photometric survey region. We also measured radial velocities of 155 galaxies; 141 of these are cluster members within 2.44 h^{-1} Mpc of the cluster center. The cluster velocity dispersion of sigma~1000 km s^{-1} remains constant out to the limiting radius. We find no evidence for substructure in the cluster. The cluster mass within R=2.4 h^{-1} Mpc is 7.6+-1.3x10^{14} h^{-1} M_\odot. We compute the cluster luminosity function; the Schechter parameters α=-1.14\pm0.08 and M^*_H=-24.3\pm0.2 (with h=0.5) agree well with other H-band luminosity functions. From the virial theorem and the caustic method we compute one of the first mass-to-light ratios at H; the result is M/L_H=82-127 h M_\odot/L_\odot within 1.5 h^{-1} Mpc. This ratio corresponds to 374-579 h M_\odot/L_\odot at R. The agreement of our IR measurement with previous $M/L$ determinations indicates that at low redshift dust and young stellar populations may produce only negligible systematic errors in optical mass-to-light ratios.

REMARQUE
 Faute d’échantillon disponible d’ Oligusa crematogastris Wasmann, 1897 au cours de la préparation du volume 89 de la Faune de Madagascar, Oligusa Wasmann, 1897 me semblait être un genre valide. L’examen de quatre exemplaires d’ Oligusa de la collection Jarrige m’a permis de constater qu’il n’y a pas de différences suffisantes avec Oligota Mannerheim, 1831. Une différence avec Oligota, invoquée par Wasmann, est que chez Oligusa les mandibules sont fortement dentelées.Mais on relève également ce caractère chez Aleochara pusillima Gravenhorst, 1806, espèce type du genre Oligota. Les maxilles courtes d’ Oligusa, notées par Wasmann, se trouvent aussi chez Oligota. Le troisième article des palpes maxillaires est effectivement un peu plus long que celui d’ Oligota, mais ce caractère rentre dans la variabilité intraspécifique, comme on l’observe souvent chez des espèces de la sous-famille Aleocharinae appartenant au même genre.Les palpes labiaux d’ Oligusa sont composés de deux articles. On observe trois articles dans le genre Oligota, mais ceux-ci sont peu distincts et paraissent être deux. La synonymie proposée ici est illustrée par la Figure 1B, C, concernant les caractères génériques. De plus, la spermathèque d’ Oligusa n’est pas sclerifiée, donc non visible, comme on le remarque chez quelques espèces du genre Oligota, ce qui appuie la validité de la synonymie.

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We find that free-floating planets can remain bound to a star cluster for much longer than was previously assumed: of the order of the cluster half-mass relaxation timescale as opposed to the crossing-time. This result is based on N-body simulations performed with the new GRAPE-6 special purpose hardware and is important in the context of the preliminary detection of a population of free-floating sub-stellar objects in the globular cluster M22. The planets in our N-body study are of Jupiter mass and are initially placed in circular orbits of between 0.05 and 50 AU about a parent star whose mass is chosen from a realistic initial mass function. The presence of the free-floating planets is the result of dynamical encounters between planetary systems and the cluster stars. Most planets are liberated from their parent star in, or near, the cluster core, and then drift outwards on a timescale of ~ 10^{8-9} year. This still implies the existence of many (~100) planets per star if the M22 result is confirmed.

description: The concept of a rapid spread of self-replicating interstellar probes (SRPs) throughout the Milky Way adds considerable strength to Fermi's Paradox. A single civilisation creating a single SRP is sufficient for a fleet of SRPs to grow and explore the entire Galaxy on timescales much shorter than the age of the Earth - so why do we see no signs of such probes? One solution to this Paradox suggests that self-replicating probes eventually undergo replication errors and evolve into predator-prey populations, reducing the total number of probes and removing them from our view. I apply Lotka-Volterra models of predator-prey competition to interstellar probes navigating a network of stars in the Galactic Habitable Zone to investigate this scenario. I find that depending on the local growth mode of both populations and the flow of predators/prey between stars, there are many stable solutions with relatively large numbers of prey probes inhabiting the Milky Way. The solutions can exhibit the classic oscillatory pattern of Lotka-Volterra systems, but this depends sensitively on the input parameters. Typically, local and global equilibria are established, with prey sometimes outnumbering the predators. Accordingly, we find this solution to Fermi's Paradox does not reduce the probe population sufficiently to be viable.

description: James Alexander Green, known as Sandy, was a mathematician of great influence and distinction. He was an algebraist, famous for his work on modular representations of finite groups, and the development of the theory of polynomial representations of general linear groups.He was elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh (1968) and Fellow of the Royal Society of London (1987). He was awarded prizes of the London Mathematical Society, a Senior Berwick Prize (in 1984) and the De Morgan Medal (in 2001).In his doctoral thesis, on semigroups, Sandy introduced fundamental relations, now known as ‘Green's relations’. He determined the characters of arbitrary finite general linear groups published 1955. Sandy then turned to representations of finite groups over fields of prime characteristic; his work laid the foundations for the module theoretic approach to the subject. His next highlight is his monograph on polynomial representations of GLn, published in 1980, which has become the basis for algebraic highest weight theory. Furthermore, in 1995 he proved a fundamental result on Hall algebras, establishing a connection between quantum groups and representations of finite-dimensional quiver algebras.

description: We present the results of new radio interferometer HI line observations for the merging galaxy pair NGC 4038/9 (`The Antennae'), obtained using the Australia Telescope Compact Array. The results improve substantially on those of van der Hulst (1979) and show in detail the two merging galactic disks and the two tidal tails produced by their interaction. The small edge-on spiral dwarf galaxy ESO 572-G045 is also seen near the tip of the southern tail, but distinct from it. It shows no signs of tidal interaction. The northern tidal tail of the Antennae shows no HI connection to the disks and has an extension towards the west. The southern tidal tail is continuous, with a prominent HI concentration at its tip, roughly at the location of the tidal dwarf galaxy observed optically by Mirabel, Dottori & Lutz (1992). Clear velocity structure is seen along the tidal tails and in the galactic disks. Radio continuum images at 20-cm and 13-cm are also presented, showing the disks in detail.

description: We model the reflected spectrum expected from localized magnetic flares above an ionised accretion disk. We concentrate on the case of very luminous magnetic flares above a standard accretion disk extending down to the last stable orbit, and use a simple parameterisation to allow for an X-ray driven wind. Full disk spectra including relativistic smearing are calculated. When fit with the constant density reflection models, these spectra give both a low reflected fraction and a small line width as seen in the hard spectra from Galactic Black Hole Binaries and Active Galactic Nuclei. We fit our calculated spectra to real data from the low/hard state of Nova Muscae and Cyg X-1 and show that these models give comparable $χ^2$ to those obtained from the constant density reflection models which implied a truncated disk. This explicitally demonstrates that the data are consistent with either magnetic flares above an ionized disk extending down to the last stable orbit around a black hole, or with non-ionized, truncated disks.

description: In this work we study the chiral phase transition as observed by an accelerating observer taking into account the Unruh effect. We use Chiral Perturbation Theory at leading order and the large $N$ limit ($N$ being the number of pions) as an effective description of low-energy QCD, and the Thermalization Theorem to compute the relevant partition function for the accelerating observer. As a result, we obtain that chiral symmetry is restored for uniformly accelerated observers with acceleration $a$ larger than the critical value $a_c=4πf_π$, with $f_π$ being the pion decay constant.

description: If the high-energy emission from TeV blazars is produced by the Synchrotron Self-Compton (SSC) mechanism, then simultaneous X-ray and Gamma-ray observations of these objects are a powerful probe of the electron (and/or positron) populations responsible for this emission. Understanding the emitting particle distributions and their evolution in turn allow us to probe physical conditions in the inner blazar jet and test, for example, various acceleration scenarios. By constraining the SSC emission model parameters, such observations also allow us to predict the intrinsic (unabsorbed) Gamma-ray spectra of these sources, a major uncertainty in current attempts to use the observed Gamma-ray spectra to constrain the intensity of the extragalactic background at optical/infrared wavelengths. As a next step in testing the SSC model and as a demonstration of the potential power of coordinated X-ray and Gamma-ray observations, we attempt to model in detail the X-ray and Gamma-ray light curves of the TeV Blazar Mrk 501 during its April-May 1997 outburst using a time dependent SSC emission model. Extensive, quasi-simultaneous X-ray and gamma-ray coverage exists for this period. We discuss and explore quantitatively several of the flare scenarios presented in the literature. We show that simple two-component models (with a soft, steady X-ray component plus a variable SSC component) involving substantial pre-acceleration of electrons to Lorentz factors on the order of 1E+5 describe the data train surprisingly well. All considered models imply an emission region that is strongly out of equipartition and low radiative efficiencies (ratio between kinetic jet luminosity and comoving radiative luminosity) of 1 per-mill and less.

description: We introduce both the notions of tensor product of convex bodies that contain zero in the interior, and of tensor product of $0$-symmetric convex bodies in Euclidean spaces. We prove that there is a bijection between tensor products of $0$-symmetric convex bodies and tensor norms on finite dimensional spaces. This bijection preserves duality, injectivity and projectivity. We obtain a formulation of Grothendieck`s Theorem for $0$-symmetric convex bodies and use it to give a geometric representation (up to the $K_G$-constant) of the Hilbertian tensor product. We see that the property of having enough symmetries is preserved by these tensor products, and exhibit relations with the Löwner and the John ellipsoids.

description: We report the discovery of a new two-image gravitational lens system from the Cosmic Lens All-Sky Survey, CLASS B2319+051. Radio imaging with the Very Large Array (VLA) and Multi-Element Radio-Linked Interferometer Network (MERLIN) shows two compact components with a flux density ratio of 5:1, separated by 1.36 arcsec. Observations with the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) resolve each of the radio components into a pair of parity-reversed subcomponents. Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations with the Near-Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer (NICMOS) show a bright elliptical galaxy (G1) coincident with the radio position, and a second irregular galaxy (G2) 3.4 arcsec to the northwest. Previous spectroscopic studies have indicated that these galaxies are at different redshifts: z(G1) = 0.624, z(G2) = 0.588. Infrared counterparts to the lensed radio components are not detected in the NICMOS image, and the source redshift has not yet been determined. Preliminary mass modeling based on the VLBA subcomponent data indicates that the lensing potential includes a strong external shear contribution. A VLA monitoring program is currently being undertaken to measure the differential time delay.

title: The suicide narratives of Silius Italicus
Creators: name: Lee, Felix E. V.
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2025

description: In this dissertation, I examine the theme of suicide in Silius Italicus’ Punica through the following case studies: Saguntum (Punica 2), Capua (Punica 11, 13), Hannibal (Punica 2, 13, 17), Scipio (Punica 4), and Solimus (Punica 9). I analyse recurrent literary features and motifs –civil war, human/object/divine agency, bodily disfigurement, elemental imagery in loci horridi, exile, haunting memory, fides, and pietas– and their connections to Silius’ suicide ideology. I use frameworks provided by Narrative Exposure Therapy to connect these features with textual allusions to Silius’ contemporary Rome and other Latin epics. I observe that Silius portrays suicide as a powerful weapon and instrument for moral action, a form of internal civil war, a form of escape and exile, and a transformative boundary threshold. I conclude that Silius presents an epic ideology of suicide that enabled readers to contemplate the emotional experiences of suicide, and the effects of suicide on one’s physical/cultural identity and environment. These reveal a duality of Silian suicides as desperate acts amid uncontrollable and impossible situations, and as means of reclaiming personal power and control of one’s fate.

description: In Industry 4.0, Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are formed by components, which are interconnected with each other over the Internet of Things (IoT). The resulting capabilities of sensing and affecting the physical world offer a vast range of opportunities, yet, at the same time pose new security challenges. To address these challenges there are various IoT Frameworks, which offer solutions for managing and controlling IoT-components and their interactions. In this regard, providing security for an interaction usually requires performing additional security-related tasks (e.g. authorisation, encryption, etc.) to prevent possible security risks. Research currently focuses more on designing and developing these frameworks and does not satisfactorily provide methodologies for evaluating the resulting costs of providing security. In this paper we propose an initial approach for measuring the resulting costs of providing security for interacting IoT-components by using a Security Cost Modelling Framework. Furthermore, we describe the necessary building blocks of the framework and provide an experimental design showing how it could be used to measure security costs at runtime.

The electron temperature of the inner halo of the Planetary Nebula NGC 6543

description: We investigate the electron temperature of the inner halo and nebular core regions of NGC 6543, using archival Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) images taken through narrow band [O III] filters. Balick et al. (2001) showed that the inner halo consists of a number of spherical shells. We find the temperature of this inner halo to be much higher (~15000 K) than that of the bright core nebula (~8500 K). Photo-ionization models indicate that hardening of the UV radiation from the central star cannot be the main source of the higher temperature in the halo region. Using a radiation hydrodynamic simulation, we show that mass loss and velocity variations in the AGB wind can explain the observed shells, as well as the higher electron temperature.

"Global Warming" pamphlet dated 20 May 1990
Creators: name: Morrison, Robbie
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 1990
Subjects: global warming

description: The pamphlet was drawn by Robbie Morrison and handed out to members of the public at a Greenpeace local groups table in Brixton and Streatham, south London, United Kingdom in the following weeks. The pamphlet represents an early example of climate campaigning by lay persons and predates the first IPCC report by several months. Home computing was also quite rare at that time, hence the hand writing. The original TIFF scans were later converted to PDF. The transcript was appended on 27 May 2021. The notion of a tipping point is encaptured by the phrase "our climate could flip to another mode with disastrous effects for all life" (page 4).

A New Look at the Evolution of Wolf-Rayet Central Stars of Planetary Nebulae
Creators: name: De Marco, Orsola

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We construct a speculative scenario for the evolution of Wolf-Rayet central stars of planetary nebula. It is clear from the latest infra-red observations that a new perspective has to be adopted: the simultaneous presence of carbon- and oxygen-rich dust (double dust chemistry), while being a rare phenomenon for H-rich central stars, is found around the vast majority of cool Wolf-Rayet central stars. This correlation between Wolf-Rayet characteristics and double dust chemistry points to a common mechanism. Within the binary evolution framework established by Soker, two scenarios are proposed, responsible for the majority (80-85%) and minority (15-20%) of Wolf-Rayet central stars. In the first scenario, proposed here for the first time, a low mass main sequence star, brown dwarf or planet spirals into the Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) star inducing extra mixing, hence a chemistry change, and terminating the AGB evolution. In the second scenario, previously proposed, a close binary companion is responsible for the formation of a disk around either the binary or the companion. This long-lived disk harbors the O-rich dust.

Hydrodynamics of two-dimensional compressible fluid with broken parity: variational principle and free surface dynamics in the absence of dissipation

description: We consider an isotropic compressible non-dissipative fluid with broken parity subject to free surface boundary conditions in two spatial dimensions. The hydrodynamic equations describing the bulk dynamics of the fluid as well as the free surface boundary conditions depend explicitly on the parity breaking non-dissipative odd viscosity term. We construct a variational principle in the form of an effective action which gives both bulk hydrodynamic equations and free surface boundary conditions. The free surface boundary conditions require an additional boundary term in the action which resembles a $1+1D$ chiral boson field coupled to the background geometry. We solve the linearized hydrodynamic equations for the deep water case and derive the dispersion of chiral surface waves. We show that in the long wavelength limit the flow profile exhibits an oscillating vortical boundary layer near the free surface. The thickness of the layer is controlled by the length scale given by the ratio of odd viscosity to the sound velocity $δ\sim ν_o/c_s$. In the incompressible limit, $c_s\to \infty$ the vortical boundary layer becomes singular with the vorticity within the layer diverging as $ω\sim c_s$. The boundary layer is formed by odd viscosity coupling the divergence of velocity $\boldsymbol\nabla \cdot \boldsymbol{v}$ to vorticity $\boldsymbol\nabla \times \boldsymbol{v}$. It results in non-trivial chiral free surface dynamics even in the absence of external forces. The structure of the odd viscosity induced boundary layer is very different from the conventional free surface boundary layer associated with dissipative shear viscosity.

description: Although there are many reports on the dangers posed by glyphosate, this herbicide is still one of the most popular and widely used total weed killers. Therefore, great effort should be made to minimize exposure to this herbicide and limit its losses into the environment. The aim of this study was to prepare a new formulation consisted of various molecular weight chitosans with glyphosate and their evaluation toward active substance release, phytotoxicity, and preliminary herbicidal efficiency. The phytotoxicity study of the obtained chitosan/glyphosate formulations was determined based on the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 208 guideline. Among all tested formulations evaluated for phytotoxicity, that containing the highest molecular weight of chitosan was found to be the least toxic, showing simultaneously the most effective herbicidal activity against selected weeds. The release rate of glyphosate from the obtained formulations was dependent on the molecular weight and viscosity of chitosan.
Kerov functions for composite representations and Macdonald ideal

description: Kerov functions provide an infinite-parametric deformation of the set of Schur functions, which is a far-going generalization of the 2-parametric Macdonald deformation. In this paper, we concentrate on a particular subject: on Kerov functions labeled by the Young diagrams associated with the conjugate and, more generally, composite representations. Our description highlights peculiarities of the Macdonald locus (ideal) in the space of the Kerov parameters, where some formulas and relations get drastically simplified. However, even in this case, they substantially deviate from the Schur case, which illustrates the problems encountered in the theory of link hyperpolynomials. An important additional feature of the Macdonald case is uniformization, a possibility of capturing the dependence on $N$ for symmetric polynomials of $N$ variables into a single variable $A=t^N$, while in the generic Kerov case the $N$-dependence looks considerably more involved.

description: Lickorish has constructed large families of contractible 4--manifolds that have knotted embeddings in the 4--sphere and has also shown that every finitely presented perfect group with balanced presentation occurs as the fundamental group of the complement of a knotted contractible manifold. Here we make a few observations regarding Lickorish's construction, showing how to extend it to construct contractible 4--manifolds which have an infinite number of knotted embeddings and also to construct knotted embeddings of the Mazur manifold for which the complement has trivial fundamental group.
