description: We investigate the non-dissipative decoherence of three qubit system obtained by manipulating the state of a trapped two-level ion coupled to an optical cavity. Modelling the environment as a set of noninteracting harmonic oscillators, analytical expressions for the state operator of tripartite composite system, the probability of generating maximally entangled GHZ state, and the population inversion have been obtained. The pointer observable is the energy of the isolated quantum system. Coupling to environment results in exponential decay of off diagonal matrix elements of the state operator with time as well as a phase decoherence of the component states. Numerical calculations to examine the time evolution of GHZ state generation probability and population inversion for different system environment coupling strengths are performed. Using negativity as an entanglement measure and linear entropy as a measure of mixedness, the entanglement dynamics of the tripartite system in the presence of decoherence is analysed.

description: The Internet of Things (IoT) represents the extension of the Internet to connected objects. The number of IoT devices is increasing very rapidly. Today the devices of the Internet of Things are mainly used in health care, businesses and industries. These IoT devices play an important role in reducing costs, improving efficiency and managing machines. In this research work we propose a low cost IOT method for intelligent habitats. The proposed method consists of the interconnection of a personal area network (PAN) or local area network (LAN) and a wide area network (WAN). This technique can be implemented on any embedded system like Arduino, Raspberry Pi and BeagleBone by interconnecting them with a computer through Bluetooth, WIFI or data cable. Outside the LAN, an Android device is used to gain remote access to the computer from any part of the world using the WAN using the remote control application like TeamViewer or other. The proposed method is implemented on the tested material, operative results are obtained.

description: We study continuous-variable entanglement of bright quantum states in a pair of evanescently coupled nonlinear $χ^{(2)}$ waveguides operating in the regime of degenerate down-conversion. We consider the case where only the energy of the nonlinearly generated fields is exchanged between the waveguides while the pump fields stay independently guided in each original waveguide. We show that this device, when operated in the depletion regime, entangles the two non-interacting bright pump modes due to a nonlinear cascade effect. It is also shown that two-colour quadripartite entanglement can be produced when certain system parameters are appropriately set. This device works in the traveling-wave configuration, such that the generated quantum light shows a broad spectrum. The proposed device can be easily realized with current technology and therefore stands as a good candidate for a source of bipartite or multipartite entangled states for the emerging field of optical continuous-variable quantum information processing.

description: Literature about educational experiences of students who are deaf or hard-of-hearing with accompanying disabilities (deaf plus) and those who teach them is limited. Extant literature reveals that teachers have limited knowledge of effective practices in the education of students who are deaf plus. Broader educational literature links perceived lack of knowledge and skills to teach students with disabilities to negative teacher attitude, which can impact student outcomes. Educational research has also found that provision of support to teachers of students with disabilities improves teacher attitude and perception of effectiveness. Therefore, gaps in knowledge and skills of teachers of students who are deaf plus may result in such students not receiving an appropriate or effective education. Furthermore, appropriate provision of teacher support may positively impact the experience of teachers and students who are deaf plus. This national survey of teachers educating students who are deaf or hard-of-hearing (DHH) investigated teacher access to supports and resources when teaching students who are deaf plus. Participants responded to whether 29 supports and resources were needed when teaching students who are deaf plus and whether they were available in their teaching assignment. All but one support was reported as needed by at least 70% of participants. Several items perceived as needed by large percentages of participants, such as feeling supported by families of students or by administrators and consultation with additional personnel such as speech-language pathologists or paraprofessionals, were also perceived by large percentages of participants to be available. Discrepancies in provision of supports were identified when items were reported as needed but not available. The largest identified discrepancies pertained to supports related to training needs, meetings, and extra time for planning instruction. The impact of factors such as experience teaching, significance of disability, teacher effectiveness, and inservice training on perception of need and availability of supports was also investigated. Perceptions of participants are not representative of every teacher of students who are deaf plus and, therefore, findings are not intended for direct application to schools and programs. Rather, outcomes provide a template upon which supervisors and teachers can discuss needs and availability.

description: We study the Frequency Resolved Spectra of the Seyfert galaxy MCG -6-30-15 obtained during two recent XMM-Newton observations. Splitting the Fourier spectra in soft (<2 keV) and hard (>2 keV) bands, we find that the soft band has a variability amplitude larger than the hard one on time scales longer than 10 ksec, while the opposite is true on time scales shorter than 3 ksec. Both the soft and hard band spectra are well fitted by power laws of different indices. The spectra of the hard band become clearly softer as the Fourier Frequency decreases from 7x10^{-4} Hz to 10^{-5} Hz, while the spectral slope of the soft band power law component is independent of the Fourier frequency. The well known broad Fe Ka feature is absent at all frequency bins; this result implies that this feature is not variable on time scales shorter than ~10^5 sec, in agreement with recent line variability studies. Strong spectral features are also present in the soft X-ray band (at E~0.7), clearly discernible in all Fourier Frequency bins. This fact is consistent with the assumption that they are due to absorption by intervening matter within the source.

description: We study the emergence of chimera states in a multilayer neuronal network, where one layer is composed of coupled and the other layer of uncoupled neurons. Through the multilayer structure, the layer with coupled neurons acts as the medium by means of which neurons in the uncoupled layer share information in spite of the absent physical connections among them. Neurons in the coupled layer are connected with electrical synapses, while across the two layers neurons are connected through chemical synapses. In both layers the dynamics of each neuron is described by the Hindmarsh-Rose square wave bursting dynamics. We show that the presence of two different types of connecting synapses within and between the two layers, together with the multilayer network structure, plays a key role in the emergence of between-layer synchronous chimera states and patterns of synchronous clusters. In particular, we find that these chimera states can emerge in the coupled layer regardless of the range of electrical synapses. Even in all-to-all and nearest-neighbor coupling within the coupled layer, we observe qualitatively identical between-layer chimera states. Moreover, we show that the role of information transmission delay between the two layers must not be neglected, and we obtain precise parameter bounds at which chimera states can be observed. The expansion of the chimera region and annihilation of cluster and fully coherent states in the parameter plane for increasing values of inter-layer chemical synaptic time delay are illustrated using effective range measurement. These results are discussed in the light of neuronal evolution, where the coexistence of coherent and incoherent dynamics during the developmental stage is particularly likely.

A Measurement of the Psi' to J/psi Production Ratio in 920 GeV Proton-Nucleus Interactions

description: Ratios of the Psi' over the J/psi production cross sections in the dilepton channel for C, Ti and W targets have been measured in 920 GeV proton-nucleus interactions with the HERA-B detector at the HERA storage ring. The Psi' and J/psi states were reconstructed in both the mu+mu- and the e+e- decay modes. The measurements covered the kinematic range -0.35 < x_F < 0.1 with transverse momentum p_T < 4.5 GeV/c. The Psi' to J/psi production ratio is almost constant in the covered x_F range and shows a slow increase with p_T. The angular dependence of the ratio has been used to measure the difference of the Psi' and J/psi polarization. All results for the muon and electron decay channels are in good agreement: their ratio, averaged over all events, is R_psi'(mu)/R_psi'(e)=1.00+-0.08+-0.04. This result constitutes a new, direct experimental constraint on the double ratio of branching fractions, (B'(mu)*B(e))/(B(mu)*B'(e)), of Psi' and J/psi in the two channels.

description: Couples were recruited to report their attitudes, traits, health, relationship quality, and their perception of their partners' attitudes and traits. Using multilevel models (MLMs), we examined actor and partner effects for three types of partner knowledge: support preferences familiarity, attitude familiarity, and trait familiarity. We found that partners' social support preferences familiarity was related to greater perceived support, while actors' support preferences familiarity was associated with greater negative affect. Actors' attitude familiarity was related to higher perceived support, greater relationship satisfaction, and positive affect. Actors' trait familiarity was linked to greater perceived support, relationship satisfaction, higher positive affect, lower negative affect, and lower depression. We also examined whether differences in familiarity between partners was associated with poorer outcomes regarding our dependent variables. We found that differences between partners in support preferences familiarity was not related to relationship quality or health, while larger differences in attitude familiarity were only associated with greater negative affect, and larger differences in trait familiarity were associated only with lower relationship satisfaction. Finally, we studied the relationships between the personality variables of agreeableness, narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism and partner knowledge. It was found that partners' agreeability was related to greater trait familiarity and partners' narcissism was associated with greater support preferences familiarity. The other personality variables were unrelated to partner knowledge. Additionally, when we examined the associations between our partner knowledge variables and dependent variables while controlling for these personality traits, the results were not significantly affected.

description: With a help of the Schwinger --- DeWitt expansion analytical properties of the evolution operator kernel for the Schrödinger equation in time variable $t$ are studied for the Coulomb and Coulomb-like (which behaves themselves as $1/|\vec q|$ when $|\vec q| \to 0$) potentials. It turned out to be that the Schwinger --- DeWitt expansion for them is divergent. So, the kernels for these potentials have additional (beyond $δ$-like) singularity at $t=0$. Hence, the initial condition is fulfilled only in asymptotic sense. It is established that the potentials considered do not belong to the class of potentials, which have at $t=0$ exactly $δ$-like singularity and for which the initial condition is fulfilled in rigorous sense (such as $V(q) = -\frac{λ(λ-1)}{2} \frac {1}{\cosh^2 q}$ for integer $λ$).

description: A bosonic gas formed by two interacting species trapped in a double-well potential features macroscopic localization effects when the interspecies interaction becomes sufficiently strong. A repulsive interaction spatially separates the species into different wells while an attractive interaction confines both species in the same well. We perform a fully-analytic study of the transitions from the weak- to the strong-interaction regime by exploiting the semiclassical method in which boson populations are represented in terms of continuous variables. We find an explict description of low-energy eigenstates and spectrum in terms of the model parameters which includes the neighborhood of the transition point. To test the effectiveness of the continuous-variable method we compare its predictions with the exact results found numerically. Numerical calculations confirm the spectral collapse evidenced by this method when the space localization takes place.

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

Study of heat and fluid flow in doublet enhanced geothermal systems
Creators: name: Asai, Pranay Ashok
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2019

description: Geothermal energy is the future for producing clean and renewable energy. The energy from geothermal reservoirs can be recovered using Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS). EGS consists of two or more wells drilled into the thermal reservoir and connected by planar hydraulic fractures. A working fluid is then circulated inside the system to extract the heat to the surface. To design an efficient system, it is important to understand how performance of the EGS is affected by different parameters. This can be done by carrying out different simulations for the EGS. Simulating a geothermal reservoir is complex and time consuming, mainly because of its nonisothermal nature and enormous size. In this study, various issues related to simulation of Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) are investigated and practical solutions are proposed. A comprehensive study was conducted to show the effect of grid size on predictions of temperature of the produced water. Simulations were carried out to study the effect of five parameters (wellbore inclination, well spacing, fracture spacing, injection rate, and injection temperature) on the total heat production from a doublet multifractured system, over a period of 30 years. The CMG STARS simulator was used to model a 30- year-long production schedule. This simulator incorporates heat and mass flow through the porous media although there is no thermoelastic coupling. Another study emphasizes the distribution of flow among the fractures in a multifractured doublet system. An analytical model (analogous to Kirchhoff's law) was developed to distribute the flow in the system. iv All these studies would be useful in systematic evaluation of EGS and provide guidance to design and develop optimal EGS.

description: In this work we focus on entanglement of two--mode Gaussian states of continuous variable systems. We first review the formalism of Gaussian measures of entanglement, adopting the framework developed in [M. M. Wolf {\em et al.}, Phys. Rev. A {\bf 69}, 052320 (2004)], where the Gaussian entanglement of formation was defined. We compute Gaussian measures explicitely for two important families of nonsymmetric two--mode Gaussian states, namely the states of extremal (maximal and minimal) negativities at fixed global and local purities, introduced in [G. Adesso {\em et al.}, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 92}, 087901 (2004)]. This allows us to compare the {\em orderings} induced on the set of entangled two--mode Gaussian states by the negativities and by the Gaussian entanglement measures. We find that in a certain range of global and local purities (characterizing the covariance matrix of the corresponding extremal states), states of minimum negativity can have more Gaussian entanglement than states of maximum negativity. Thus Gaussian measures and negativities are definitely inequivalent on nonsymmetric two--mode Gaussian states (even when restricted to extremal states), while they are completely equivalent on symmetric states, where moreover the Gaussian entanglement of formation coincides with the true one. However, the inequivalence between these two families of continuous-variable entanglement measures is somehow limited. In fact we show rigorously that, at fixed negativities, the Gaussian entanglement measures are bounded from below, and we provide strong evidence that they are also bounded from above.

Symbiosis Driven Variation and Supply of Natural Products
Creators: name: Tianero, Ma. Diarey B.
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2019

description: Drug discovery and development from marine invertebrates has been fraught with two key problems, namely, the variability of occurrence and limited supply. Bacteria in symbiosis with marine invertebrates have been shown to produce most bioactive natural products isolated from these organisms, and thus are central to addressing questions of occurrence and issues of supply. Specifically, the factors that influence symbiosis influence the distribution and supply of natural products. This dissertation sought to address these two problems through studies in symbiosis and supply of symbiotic natural products. First, the global patterns of chemical symbiosis in marine ascidians, a group of highly prolific producers of natural products, were examined. Symbiosis in ascidians is shown to be host-specific (meaning that similar species of invertebrates contain similar bacterial symbionts); further, microbiomes are shown to be equally diverse regardless of location. Secondary metabolism was also found to be host-specific, but is more sensitive to biogeographical factors as evidenced by the increase in the potency of the secondary metabolites in tropical regions. To address the supply of rare natural products, heterologous expression was used to produce useful quantities of a group of symbiotic natural products, cyanobactins. Using metabolic engineering, a platform was developed to supply cyanobactins in high-titer, and its usefulness showcased in the discovery of ! novel activities of these natural products. Another facet of the supply problem is the substantial difficulty involved in synthesizing derivatives of natural products, which generally requires total chemical synthesis. On this aspect of the supply problem, the capacity of the cyanobactin pathway to generate unprecendented structural diversity by the incorporation of non-proteinogenic amino acids into this multistep, substrate-tolerant biosynthetic pathway was demonstrated.

description: The main topic of this paper is motivated by a localization problem in cellular networks. Given a graph $G$ we want to localize a walking agent by checking his distance to as few vertices as possible. The model we introduce is based on a pursuit graph game that resembles the famous Cops and Robbers game. It can be considered as a game theoretic variant of the \emph{metric dimension} of a graph. We provide upper bounds on the related graph invariant $ζ(G)$, defined as the least number of cops needed to localize the robber on a graph $G$, for several classes of graphs (trees, bipartite graphs, etc). Our main result is that, surprisingly, there exists planar graphs of treewidth $2$ and unbounded $ζ(G)$. On a positive side, we prove that $ζ(G)$ is bounded by the pathwidth of $G$. We then show that the algorithmic problem of determining $ζ(G)$ is NP-hard in graphs with diameter at most $2$. Finally, we show that at most one cop can approximate (arbitrary close) the location of the robber in the Euclidean plane.

description: Background: Academic writing is an essential component of research, characterized by structured expression of ideas, data-driven arguments, and logical reasoning. However, it poses challenges such as handling vast amounts of information and complex ideas. The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into academic writing has become increasingly important, offering solutions to these challenges. This review aims to explore specific domains where AI significantly supports academic writing.
Methods: A systematic review of literature from databases like PubMed, Embase, and Google Scholar, published since 2019, was conducted. Studies were included based on relevance to AI's application in academic writing and research, focusing on writing assistance, grammar improvement, structure optimization, and other related aspects.
Results: The search identified 24 studies through which six core domains were identified where AI helps academic writing and research: 1) facilitating idea generation and research design, 2) improving content and structuring, 3) supporting literature review and synthesis, 4) enhancing data management and analysis, 5) supporting editing, review, and publishing, and 6) assisting in communication, outreach, and ethical compliance. ChatGPT has shown substantial potential in these areas, though challenges like maintaining academic integrity and balancing AI use with human insight remain.
Conclusion and recommendations: AI significantly revolutionises academic writing and research across various domains. Recommendations include broader integration of AI tools in research workflows, emphasizing ethical and transparent use, providing adequate training for researchers, and maintaining a balance between AI utility and human insight. Ongoing research and development are essential to address emerging challenges and ethical considerations in AI's application in academia.

The study of MHC class Ib molecules and MHC class Ib-restricted CD8 +T cell responses
Creators: name: Chen, Lili
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2019

description: Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class Ib molecules share similar structure with the classical MHC class Ia molecules, but they generally have low expression levels and limited tissue distributions. Nevertheless, there are many different class Ib molecules and the well-studied ones have various specific functions. Many Ib molecules remain to be studied. Increasing evidence shows that MHC class Ib molecules can restrict CD8+ T cell responses during infections, just as the classical MHC class Ia molecules do. In this thesis, classical MHC class I deficient mice were employed to study the MHC class Ib restricted anti-lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) responses. The mice were able to generate CD8+ T cell dependent immune response to the acute viral infection and partially control the infection in the early phase. IFN! and granzyme B were produced in vivo by the CD8+ T cells. The response was restricted by MHC class Ib molecules as indicated by in vitro restimulation assays. However, the mounted responses were not strong enough to fully control the viral infection such that the infection becomes chronic in these mice and antigen-specific CD8+ T cells gradually lost their ability to produce cytokines and survive. One MHC class Ib molecule, H2-T11, was selected to test an approach for studying MHC class Ib systematically. H2-T11 has high similarity to the Qa-1b encoding gene, H2-T23. Reverse-transcriptional PCR and quantitative-PCR showed that it was expressed at relatively high levels in mouse spleen, thymus, and intestine. The transduced hybrid T11 molecule containing an antibody-recognizable H2-Db "3 domain could be detected on both TAP+/+ Hela and TAP-/- T2 cell surfaces. The hybrid T11 expressing cells were not able to present insulin to the 6C5 T cell hybridoma, while the hybrid T23 expressing cells did. While T23 required Qdm peptide for its in vitro folding, T11 could fold in the absence of Qdm peptides. However, in the presence of Qdm, the folding efficiency was higher. Multiple peptides were eluted from the hybrid T11 and T23 expressing Hela cells. Qdm was found in both T11 and T23 peptide pools, but it was much more frequently found from T23 pool. Fewer peptides were eluted from T11 than T23. The T11-Qdm tetramers could not recognize NK or NKT cells, but the T23-Qdm tetramers could. Together, these studies indicated that T11 might be a functional paralog to H2-T23, but it does not appear to share the specific functions of T23.

description: We present the first integral field spectroscopy observations of the two planetary nebulae NGC3242 and NGC4361 with the VIMOS instrument attached to VLT-UT3. By co-adding a large number of spaxels we reach an emission line detection limit of 5.E-18 erg cm^{-2} s^{-1} arcsec^{-2}. In the case of NGC3242, we succeed in determining some properties of the halo. The radial surface brightness profile in [OIII] implies increasing mass loss before the formation of the PN. Traces of the mysterious 'rings' are clearly visible. We find for the first time an apparent temperature gradient across a halo: from about 16000 K close to the shell/halo transition to 20000 K at the halo's outer edge. No line emission is seen in the suspected halo region of NGC4361 down to the sensitivity limit.

description: We study the pair-production process in the presence of two counterpropagating linearly polarized short laser pulses. By means of a nonperturbative technique, we take into account the full coordinate dependence of the external field going beyond the dipole and standing-wave approximations. In particular, we analyze the momentum distribution of particles created. It is demonstrated that the spatial variations of the laser pulses may play a crucial role. The more accurate treatment reveals a number of prominent features: the pair-production probabilities become considerably smaller, the quantitative behavior of the momentum spectra changes dramatically, and the pulse shape effects become much less pronounced. The results of our study are expected to be very important for future theoretical and experimental investigations.

description: Dark matter is a prominent and dominant form of matter in the Universe. Yet, despite various intense efforts, its nongravitational effects have not been observed. In this dissertation, we explore the nature of such elusive particles within a supersymmetric SU(3)C ⊗ SU(2)L ⊗ U(1)Y gauge theory. Although large regions of parameter space within supersymmetric models have been excluded by recent results from collider experiments and direct and indirect dark matter searches, we find that there is a wide range of viable parameter space once the requirements of minimal flavor violation and mass universality are relaxed. In particular, we focus on a class of models in which electroweak-scale Majorana dark matter has interactions with the Standard Model sector via relatively light charged scalars with large chiral mixing and CP-violation. Our model is shown to lead to enhanced dark matter pair annihilation, and is constrained by precise measurements of the lepton dipole moments. We illustrate that our model satisfies all constraints, including the observed thermal relic density, and investigate prospects for the detection of dark matter annihilation products. We also examine the effects of chiral mixing and CP-violationn on the variation in the ratio of the flux of monoenergetic photons from annihilation to two photons relative to that from annihilation to a photon and a Z boson, as well as the helicity asymmetry in the diphoton final state. We also find the most general spectrum for internal bremsstrahlung, which interpolates between the regimes dominated by virtual internal bremsstrahlung and by final state radiation, and that it provides distinctive γ-ray signals, which could potentially be observed in the near future.

description: A search for excited neutrinos produced in electron--proton collisions is performed using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 114 pb$^{-1}$ recently collected by the H1 detector at HERA. In absence of a signal, the measurement is interpreted within a minimal model parameterised in terms of couplings and compositness scale. New parameter regions, beyond other colliders sensitivities, are explored by the present preliminary analysis.

description: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, is an adult-onset fatal disease in which the upper and lower motor neurons of the body progressively degenerate. Efforts to understand the pathophysiology of ALS over the past two decades have shown that mutations in genes involved in a wide variety of cellular processes can cause ALS. Patients who develop ALS and have a family history of the disease are termed familial ALS (FALS) and represent 10% of ALS cases. However, similar genetic mutations occur in patients with no family history of ALS, which suggests genetic factors also play a role in sporadic ALS (SALS). Studies that utilize low-resolution single nucleotide variant (SNV) and microsatellite assays have identified over 30 ALS-associated genes. However, only 68% of FALS and 11% of SALS cases have an identifiable genetic cause. The identification of the genetic factors responsible for these unexplained ALS cases has been challenging because of the technological limitations of SNV and microsatellite assays. The increasing availability of next-generation sequencing (NGS) allows for the potential identification of such elusive disease-causing genetic variants. The aim of this dissertation is to better understand ALS genetic risk factors using NGS technology and computational methods. The first chapter will review ALS and the importance of genetic factors in its pathogenesis. The analyses presented in Chapter 2 try to determine whether NGS approaches can identify known and potentially novel ALS genetic risk loci in individual FALS patients. Next, efforts to better understand the importance of known ALS risk loci in SALS pathogenesis will be covered in Chapter 3. Chapter 4 will focus on attempts to find novel ALS risk genes in a cohort of SALS patients. Chapter 5 will focus on the results of functional studies aimed at validating TP73 as an ALS candidate risk gene. Lastly, Chapter 6 will be focused on determining whether SALS can be caused by deleterious genetic variation shared between distantly related patients. The

description: We report ALMA observations of polarized dust emission from the protostellar source Ser-emb 8 at a linear resolution of 140 au. Assuming models of dust-grain alignment hold, the observed polarization pattern gives a projected view of the magnetic field structure in this source. Contrary to expectations based on models of strongly magnetized star formation, the magnetic field in Ser-emb 8 does not exhibit an hourglass morphology. Combining the new ALMA data with previous observational studies, we can connect magnetic field structure from protostellar core (~80,000 au) to disk (~100 au) scales. We compare our observations with four magnetohydrodynamic gravo-turbulence simulations made with the AREPO code that have initial conditions ranging from super-Alfvénic (weakly magnetized) to sub-Alfvénic (strongly magnetized). These simulations achieve the spatial dynamic range necessary to resolve the collapse of protostars from the parsec scale of star-forming clouds down to the ~100 au scale probed by ALMA. Only in the very strongly magnetized simulation do we see both the preservation of the field direction from cloud to disk scales and an hourglass-shaped field at < 1000 au scales. We conduct an analysis of the relative orientation of the magnetic field and the density structure in both the Ser-emb 8 ALMA observations and the synthetic observations of the four AREPO simulations. We conclude that the Ser-emb 8 data are most similar to the weakly magnetized simulations, which exhibit random alignment, in contrast to the strongly magnetized simulation, where the magnetic field plays a role in shaping the density structure in the source. In the weak-field case, it is turbulence -- not the magnetic field -- that shapes the material that forms the protostar, highlighting the dominant role that turbulence can play across many orders of magnitude in spatial scale.

description: We present low resolution optical spectroscopy for six cataclysmic variable candidates and the old nova V888 Cen. We confirm the classification as cataclysmic variable for LB 9963 and FQ Mon, while the other four candidates turn out to be different type of stars. We discuss the individual spectra and pay special attention to the mass transfer rate and disc temperature and density of the three cataclysmic variables.
