environmental, health and economic impacts

description: The factsheets describe 13 electricity supply alternatives that could contribute to the Swiss electricity mix in 2035: (1) three hydropower types, including large dams, large run-of-river, and small hydropower; (2) five new renewable technologies—solar cells (photovoltaics), wind, deep geothermal, woody biomass, and biogas; (3) nuclear power; (4) waste incineration and large natural gas power; (5) net electricity import from abroad (net on the annual basis); and (6) electricity savings and efficiency improvements to reduce the electricity demand.

Each technology, its current status, resource potential, and environmental, health, and economic impacts were described qualitatively and quantitatively. The impacts included climate change (CO2equiv); local air pollution (PM10equiv; SOx and NOx); water, landscape, and land use (m2 of land use); flora and fauna; accidental impacts, resource use, and waste (kWh of nonrenewable energy used for 1 kWh of electricity); electricity costs (rappen (Rp.) per kWh); and electricity supply reliability. The impacts were assessed using data from literature, prioritizing the Swiss-specific data as much as possible and including qualitative explanations for non-experts. The factsheets are accompanied by a glossary and a supplementary overview table that applied a five-color indicator system to reflect the severity of impacts across technologies.

The factsheets were developed for an informed citizen panel study in July 2017 in Switzerland, described in the following publication:

Subjects: agroecology, living labs, research infrastructures, mapping

description: Work package 2 aims to map and analyse research infrastructures, living labs and open innovation arrangements, along with polices and funding arrangements across Europe, that are linked to agroecology transition. The mapping will lead to an overview of what is happening on the ground, with respect to agriculture transition. It will help to understand the enablers, the barriers and the incentives for agroecology transition, including the role of societal drivers, particularly funding arrangements and regulatory frameworks.

description: We discuss the possible influence of fundamental QCD properties such as spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking and nucleon substructure on nuclear matter properties. We propose a chiral version of the relativistic $σ-ω$ model in which the attractive background scalar field is associated with the chiral invariant field governing the radial fluctuations of the quark condensate. Nuclear matter stability is ensured once the scalar response of the nucleon depending on the quark confinement mechanism is properly incorporated. The needed parameters are estimated from lattice results and a satisfactory description of bulk properties follows, the only really free parameter being the $ωNN$ coupling constant. Pion loops can be also incorporated to obtain in a consistent way the finite density chiral susceptibilities. A good description of the asymmetry energy is obtained once the full rho meson exchange and Fock terms are included.

description: Magnetic and transport properties of Ti substituted La$_{0.67}$Sr$_{0.33}$MnO$_3$ are drastically affected with a change in preparation conditions. Low temperature infra-red absorption measurements reveal that this is perhaps due to inhomogeniety in substitution of Ti$^{4+}$ on Mn sites. It is found that, in the high temperature annealed samples, the substitution of Ti supresses the double exchange interaction due to the formation of Mn$^{3+}$-O-Ti$^{4+}$ chains. While in the low temperature annealed case substitution of Ti causes formation of isolated ferromagnetic clusters linked to each other by a variable range hopping polaron.

Benefits of flood control on Indian lands in British Columbia
Creators: name: Eluchans, Raul D.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: A series of dyking projects on Indian lands on the Similkameen River, B.C. has been recently subjected to an economic evaluation. The objective of this study is to evaluate the procedures of the Agriculture and Rural Development Subsidiary Agreement in assessing the benefits of these projects and to re-evaluate the cost-benefit results. The original estimation of benefits made use of data for yields and costs of production that are unrealistic. These data are revised and new estimates of benefits are made. A more serious issue however is the imputation of indirect benefits. Farmer response is critical for the achievement of indirect benefits. In this study, direct and indirect benefits are identified and computed based upon the net value of the agricultural production. Different yield scenarios and alternative land uses are incorporated into the analysis consistent with different hypotheses explaining production characteristics and probable farmer response in the area. Results show that most of the benefits are in the form of indirect benefits and that the cost of the protection exceeds the direct benefits from the point of view of society. If indirect benefits could be obtained from a complete development program to overcome institutional problems, the flood control may be economically feasible.
TESS Experiments: Evangelical or Born-Again Christian: Unpacking a Double-Barreled Question

description: Time-sharing Experiments for the Social Sciences (TESS) offers researchers the opportunity to capture the internal validity of experiments. Investigators submit proposals, and TESS fields successful proposals for free on a representative sample of adults in the United States. This experiment was conducted to demonstrate the implications of the standard evangelical Christian/born-again Christian self-identification question that groups the two identities as synonymous identities. Respondents were randomly assigned to answer either the standard double-barreled question about identifying as an "evangelical or born-again Christian" (control) or separate questions about whether they identify as born-again Christian or evangelical Christian with the order of the two questions varied to create two treatment conditions. A total of 2,902 Christian respondents participated. Respondents were asked about policy attitudes, vote choice, and religious beliefs. This allowed for comparison of political, social, and religious attitudes across respondent-reported religious and racial identities.

description: Seit einigen Jahren finden in der hochschulischen Gleichstellungsarbeit Entwicklungen statt, die als Professionalisierungsprozesse gedeutet werden. Während das traditionelle Professionsverständnis für die Analyse der Gleichstellungsarbeit wenig zielführend ist, bieten dynamische Konzepte der Professionalisierung eine fruchtbare Forschungsperspektive. Zentral für die Professionalisierung ist dabei das an der jeweiligen Wissenschaft eines Tätigkeitsbereichs orientierte Expert-Innenwissen. Mit der zunehmenden Implementierung der Frauen- und Geschlechterforschung steht der hochschulischen Gleichstellungsarbeit wissenschaftliches Geschlechterwissen zur Verfügung. Der Transfer dieses Wissens auf die Gleichstellungspraxis stößt allerdings auf Hürden, für deren Überwindung man bessere Kenntnis des Arbeitsalltags und des Bedarfs nach theoretischem Geschlechterwissen von GleichstellungspraktikerInnen braucht. Erste Aufschlüsse hierzu liefern zwei quantitative und qualitative Erhebungen mit Amts- und StelleninhaberInnen der hochschulischen Gleichstellungsarbeit. Diese weisen auf das Vorhandensein eines beachtlichen geschlechtertheoretischen Unterbaus bei den GleichstellungsakteurInnen hin sowie auf eine Bereitschaft, diesen zu nutzen. Die Nutzbarmachung erfolgt bisher allerdings unsystematisch. Hier könnten Anknüpfungspunkte für eine weitere Professionalisierung der Gleichstellungsarbeit liegen.
Hartree-Fock study of electronic ferroelectricity in the Falicov-Kimball model with $f$-$f$ hopping

description: The Hartree-Fock (HF) approximation with the charge-density-wave (CDW) instability is used to study the ground-state phase diagram of the spinless Falicov-Kimball model (FKM) extended by $f$-$f$ hopping in two and three dimensions. It is shown that the HF solutions with the CDW instability reproduce perfectly the two-dimensional intermediate coupling phase diagram of the FKM model with $f$-$f$ hopping calculated recently by constrained path Monte Carlo (CPMC) method. Using this fact we have extended our HF study on cases that have been not described by CPMC, and namely, (i) the case of small values of $f$-electron hopping integrals, (ii) the case of weak Coulomb interactions and (iii) the three-dimensional case. We have found that ferroelectricity remains robust with respect to the reducing strength of coupling ($f$-electron hopping) as well as with respect to the increasing dimension of the system.

description: IRAS~04158+2805 has long been thought to be a very low mass T-Tauri star (VLMS) surrounded by a nearly edge-on, extremely large disc. Recent observations revealed that this source hosts a binary surrounded by an extended circumbinary disc with a central dust cavity. In this paper, we combine ALMA multi-wavelength observations of continuum and $^{12}$CO line emission, with H$α$ imaging and Keck astrometric measures of the binary to develop a coherent dynamical model of this system. The system features an azimuthal asymmetry detected at the western edge of the cavity in Band~7 observations and a wiggling outflow. Dust emission in ALMA Band 4 from the proximity of the individual stars suggests the presence of marginally resolved circumstellar discs. We estimate the binary orbital parameters from the measured arc of the orbit from Keck and ALMA astrometry. We further constrain these estimates using considerations from binary-disc interaction theory. We finally perform three SPH gas + dust simulations based on the theoretical constraints; we post-process the hydrodynamic output using radiative transfer Monte Carlo methods and directly compare the models with observations. Our results suggest that a highly eccentric $e\sim 0.5\textrm{--}0.7$ equal mass binary, with a semi-major axis of $\sim 55$ au, and small/moderate orbital plane vs. circumbinary disc inclination $θ\lesssim 30^\circ$ provides a good match with observations. A dust mass of $\sim 1.5\times 10^{-4} {\rm M_\odot}$ best reproduces the flux in Band 7 continuum observations. Synthetic CO line emission maps qualitatively capture both the emission from the central region and the non-Keplerian nature of the gas motion in the binary proximity.

description: Zwar zeichnen sich in den familialen Geschlechterverhältnissen derzeit Transformationsprozesse ab, bei denen sich das Modell egalitärer Elternschaft allmählich durchsetzt. Dennoch verweisen aktuelle Forschungen darauf, dass es jungen Familien vielfach nicht gelingt, diesen Wunsch langfristig umzusetzen: Die Geschlechterverhältnisse in den Familien retraditionalisieren sich mit der Geburt des ersten Kindes. Vor diesem Hintergrund fragt der Beitrag aus praxeologischer Perspektive danach, wie sich diese ungleichen Arbeitsteilungen trotz der egalitären Ansprüche herstellen. Ausgehend von der These, dass bereits vor der Geburt des Kindes transitorische Prozesse der Herstellung von Elternschaft stattfi nden, an denen die werdenden Eltern und die sie umgebenden natalen Spezialinstitutionen beteiligt sind, werden Informationsabende in Entbindungseinrichtungen, Geburtsvorbereitungs- und Säuglingspfl egekurse untersucht. Anhand ethnografi scher Protokolle wird nachgezeichnet, wie bereits in den institutionellen Praxen dieser Institutionen Geschlechterungleichheiten zwischen den Eltern hergestellt werden.

We use the case of W-production at the Tevatron and the LHC to compare different implementations of the so-called CKKW and MLM schemes using different matrix-element generators and different parton cascades. We find that although similar results are obtained in all cases, there are important differences.

description: We extend certain basic and general concepts of thermodynamics to discrete Markov systems exchanging work and heat with reservoirs. In this framework we show that the celebrated Clausius inequality can be generalized and becomes an equality, significantly extending several recent results. We further show that achieving zero dissipation in a system implies that detailed balance obtains, and as a consequence there is zero power production. We obtain inequalities for power production under more general circumstances and show that near equilibrium obtaining maximum power production requires dissipation to be of the same order of magnitude.

description: Identification of Ornebius Guérin-Méneville, 1844 by sound
Ornebius sound recordings taken in Auckland, Coromandel, Waikato and in New Plymouth yield a song with a peak frequency between 4.5 and 5.6 kHz. Chirps are approximately one second apart and consist of three pulses; a single pulse followed by a pause of 0.3 seconds then two more pulses close together (Fig. 34). This song matches that of Ornebius aperta (Otte & Alexander 1983: fig. 314; Gwynne et al. 1988). As previously observed by Ramsay (1990, 1991), the paraprocts are also a good match for Ornebius aperta, club-like in shape, narrowest at the base and widest one fifth of the length from the apex (Fig. 33G–I).
Ornebius crickets around Whangārei and Kerikeri in Northland sing at a peak frequency of 4 kHz (T = 23°C). Chirps are approximately two seconds apart and consist of four to five pulses; a single pulse followed by a pause longer than half a second then three to four pulses close together (Fig. 35). This song does not match any known species of Ornebius. The male paraprocts are subtly different from those of O. aperta, with a longer narrow neck at the base, and the widest point one fourth of the length from the apex (Fig. 33K). While this shape may resemble more closely the paraprocts of Ornebius wandella Otte & Alexander, 1983, the latter species has two very prominent hair tufts projecting backwards from the posterior margin of the suranal plate (Otte & Alexander 1983: fig. 312y); these are missing in Ornebius aperta and in Ornebius crickets from Northland (Fig. 33D–E). Except for the subtle difference in the shape of the male paraprocts, male and female Ornebius crickets from Northland cannot be differentiated from Ornebius aperta by morphology.
Based on this information, Ornebius crickets from Northland might be a species other than Ornebius aperta, but I am not confident enough to state that they definitely are, let alone to designate a new species. This really needs to be done in the context of a comprehensive revision of Ornebius from the east coast of Australia and from the wider Pacific region, based on morphology, song and molecular data. I will therefore refer to the Ornebius population in Northland as Ornebius aff. aperta Otte & Alexander, 1983, where the abbreviation ‘aff.’ is used as suggested by Sigovini et al. (2016).
The boundary between the Auckland and Northland Ornebius populations is unknown.

description: 23. * Coronatella (Coronatella) trachystriata (Chen, Zhang et Liu, 1994)
Localities and specimens found: 3 – 1♀ em; 25 – 1♀, 1♀ em, 1j.
Distribution and ecology. This is a rare East Asian member of the genus, originally classified as a subspecies of Alona (now Coronatella) rectangula: A. rectangula trachystriata Chen, Zhang et Liu, 1994 (Chen et al. 1994; Van Damme et al. 2010; Sinev et al. 2024). Until now, the species has only been recorded in the Far East of Russia (Amur River basin), South Korea and China, including Hainan Island (Kotov et al. 2011, 2017; Ji et al. 2015; Sinev et al. 2015; Sinev 2016, 2017; Korovchinsky et al. 2021b; Sinev et al. 2024). The present work is the first report of C. trachystriata specimens in Vietnam and the southernmost record of them.
The species lifestyle and ecology are still weakly understood. Until now, it was found in lakes, ponds, reservoirs and river mouths (Chen et al. 1994; Kotov et al. 2011; Sinev et al. 2015, 2024; Korovchinsky et al. 2021b). According to recent observations in one of the lakes in China (Sinev et al. 2024), C. trachystriata is obviously a bottom-dwelling species which prefers soft sediments at some distance from the shallowest coastal zone. It can also occur sporadically in plankton due to the agitation of bottom sediments by waves. During our research, several exemplars of this species were found on the open shoreline of two reservoirs on sandy and sandy-silty deposits (see Appendix 1).

description: The key feature of the Fe-based superconductors is their quasi 2D multiband Fermi surface. By relating the problem to a negative U Hubbard model and its superconducting ground state, we show that the defining instability of such a Fermi surface is the valley density-wave (VDW), a combined spin/charge density-wave at the wavevector connecting the electron and hole valleys. As the valley parameters change by doping or pressure, the fictitious superconductor experiences "Zeeman splitting", eventually going into a non-uniform "Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinikov" (FFLO) state, an itinerant and often incommensurate VDW of the real world, characterized by the metallic conductivity from the ungapped remnants of the Fermi surface. When "Zeeman splitting" exceeds the "Chandrasekhar-Clogston" limit, the "FFLO" state disappears, and the VDW is destabilized. Near this point, the VDW fluctuations and interband pair repulsion are essential ingredients of high-Tc superconductivity in Fe-pnictides.

description: We construct a sign-problem free variant of the complex Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model which keeps all the essential properties of the SYK model, including the analytic solvability in the large-$N$ limit and being maximally chaotic. In addition to the number of complex fermions $N$, our model has an additional parameter $M$ controlling the number of terms in the Hamiltonian which we take $M \to \infty$ with keeping $M/N$ constant in the large-$N$ limit. While our model respects global $U(1)$ symmetry associated with the fermion number conservation, both the large-$N$ limit and the sign-problem free nature become explicit in the Majorana representation. We present a detailed analysis on our model, i.e., the random matrix classification based on the symmetry analysis, analytic approach, and the quantum Monte Carlo simulations. All these analysis show that our model exhibit a non-Fermi liquid (NFL) physics, a gapless fermionic system lying beyond the conventional Fermi liquid picture.

We show that, if one imposes the MFV structure at some scale, to a good accuracy the MFV decomposition works at all other scales. That is, quantum effects can be described by running coefficients of the MFV decomposition. We find that the coefficients get driven to non-trivial fixed points.

description: The Water Council (TWC) has been taking the lead in Wisconsin on organizing its existing strength in creating solutions to the water quality and quantity problems that are increasingly found in the United States and world. TWC started and remains largely a sub-state organization in terms of its membership. But it is now engaged globally, seeking to help others solve water problems as well as develop Milwaukee business to global business and government partnerships.

This paper contains TWC’s comprehensive definition of water technology companies.  The emphasis is placed strictly on companies that create solutions for water users and communities located across the world.  TWC does not consider water users or water-related products, services, industries, and sub-sectors as being businesses within a water technology cluster. This list is intended to define water technology, educate others on this definition, and showcase the current strengths of Milwaukee’s water technology cluster. Warning: this list is not totally comprehensive; it can and will be adjusted to capture new developments in the field of water technology solutions.

description: The interpretation of microlensing results towards the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) still remains controversial. White dwarfs have been proposed to explain these results and, hence, to contribute significantly to the mass budget of our Galaxy. However, several constraints on the role played by regular carbon-oxygen white dwarfs exist. Massivewhite dwarfs are thought to be made of a mixture of oxygen and neon. Correspondingly, their cooling rate is larger than those of typical carbon-oxygen white dwarfs and they fade to invisibility in short timescales. Consequently, they constitute a good candidate for explaining the microlensing results. Here, we examine in detail this hypothesis by using the most recent and up-to-date cooling tracks for massive white dwarfs and a Monte Carlo simulator which takes into account the most relevant Galactic inputs. We find that oxygen-neon white dwarfs cannot account for a substantial fraction of the microlensing depth towards the LMC, independently of the adopted initial mass function, although some microlensing events could be due to oxygen--neon white dwarfs. The white dwarf population contributes at most a 5% to the mass of the Galactic halo.

An investigation of venturi type air-fuel mixers for gaseous fuelled engines
Creators: name: Troesch, Ernst Urs
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: A study has been made of the fundamental factors affecting the ability of a venturi type air-fuel mixer to hold a constant air-fuel ratio. The validity of simple flow equations used to predict the performance of air-fuel mixers was examined, and values of pressure drop across the mixer were determined for six different configurations. The overall conclusion is that it should be possible to construct venturi air-fuel mixers which supply the engine with a stoichiometric air-fuel mixture, provided that the pressure regulator maintains a constant outlet pressure. The venturi type gas mixer system investigated (including pressure regulator) was found to accurately control the air-fuel ratio under transient conditions. It was found that accurate flow calculations are in general not possible, so that the design of venturi type air-fuel mixers will be empirical in nature.

From Bobo, ‘grass’, and the locative suffix ‘ -illa ’, (‘found’) in grass. From one of “several small dictionaries covering a number of languages spread across Australia ” (D. Otte pers. com. 2023). Bobilla species live in grasslands. The name Bobilla is female gender.
Diagnosis (after Otte & Alexander 1983; Rentz & Su 2019)
Medium- to large-sized Nemobiinae, body length typically between 6 and 9 mm; coloration variegated grey to black. Forewings fully developed in both sexes. Eighty to ninety percent of females with short forewings (Fig. 16B, E); 10% to 20% with long forewings (Fig. 16F). Hindwings occasionally present in either sex but rarely so (Fig. 16D). Stridulatory apparatus complete. Tympana present on posterior side of Tibia I. Tibia III with three inner and three outer subapical spurs in both sexes, alternate. Tibia III ventral apical spurs subequal in length. Length of Tarsomere III-1 outer apical spur approx. 60% of inner apical spur.
Measurements
See Table 2. Sexual dimorphism in body length, with females being larger than males by 10% to 20%.

description: We outline the main results of our GRB model, based on the three interpretation paradigms we proposed in July 2001, comparing and contrasting them with the ones in the current literature. Thanks to the observations by Swift and by VLT, this analysis points to a "canonical GRB" originating from markedly different astrophysical scenarios. The communality is that they are all emitted in the formation of a black hole with small or null angular momentum. The following sequence appears to be canonical: the vacuum polarization process creating an optically thick self accelerating electron-positron plasma; the engulfment of baryonic mass during the plasma expansion; the adiabatic expansion of the optically thick "fireshell" up to the transparency; the interaction of the remaining accelerated baryons with the interstellar medium (ISM). This leads to the canonical GRB composed of a proper GRB (P-GRB), emitted at the moment of transparency, followed by an extended afterglow. The parameters are the plasma total energy, the fireshell baryon loading and the ISM filamentary distribution around the source. In the limit of no baryon loading the total energy is radiated in the P-GRB. In this limit, the canonical GRBs explain as well the short GRBs.

Forest floors under second growth Douglas-fir stands : their chemical variability and some relationships to productivity
Creators: name: Carter, Reid Ewart
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The variability of 23 chemical properties of LF and H horizons was established under six, sixty to one hundred and thirty year-old Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) stands representing three hygrotopes and two geographic locations within the Coastal Western Hemlock Biogeoclimatic Zone. pH (CaCl₂) total P, S, N, C and Zn; and C:N, N:P and N:S ratios were found to have the lowest within-plot variability—all requiring less than 15 samples per plot to predict a mean value at the 5% level of significance with an allowable error of 10%. Total Fe, Al, Mn and Ca were found to have the greatest within-plot variability. Variability within plots was shown to be significantly less than variability between plots at the 1% level for all properties tested. Composite samples prepared from 15 individual samples within each plot were shown to be significantly correlated with the depth-weighted arithmetic means of individual samples at the 1% level for most forest floor properties tested. In a related study, the productivity of second growth Douglas-fir stands in the Coastal Western Hemlock Zone was examined in relation to 28 chemical properties of the forest floor. Fifty-three plots were sampled from a wide range of site types over a broad geographic distribution. LF, H, and Ah horizons of each plot were characterized by a single depth-weighted composite sample. Seventeen different forest floor properties were found to be significantly correlated with site index. Total Mn was able to account for more than 44% of the variability in site index. A jackknifed stepwise discriminant analysis procedure was able to classify site classes correctly 59.5% of the time using a combination of total lipids, Mn, Ca and KCl-extractable N in the LF horizon of the unstratified sample population expressed on a kg/ha basis. From the results of all analyses, total Mn, lipids, ash-free lipids, KCl-N, Mg, K, Ca and S and N:S, C:N and Ca:Al ratios were thought to have the strongest relationship to Douglas-fir productivity of all forest floor properties examined. Studies that examined relationships between individual site parameters and forest productivity did not reveal any methods of direct productivity assessment. Such studies appear to be most useful for clarifying many of the nutrient interactions within forest stands.

description: Berufsorientierung ist ein pädagogisches Handlungsfeld in der Schule, das im Zusammenhang mit Geschlecht bislang kaum erforscht wurde. In Hamburg wird den Stadtteilschulen und deren Berufsorientierung in der Sekundarstufe I eine zunehmende Bedeutung zugeschrieben: Sie sollen gewährleisten, dass die Schülerinnen und Schüler die Schule nicht nur mit einem Abschluss verlassen, sondern auch eine berufliche Ausbildung aufnehmen, sofern sie nicht zur gymnasialen Oberstufe übergehen. Schulische Berufsorientierung soll darauf abzielen, das berufsbezogene Interessenspektrum von Jugendlichen zu erweitern – auch im Hinblick auf ‚geschlechtsuntypische‘ Berufe. Der Beitrag geht folgenden Fragen nach: Gelingt es, im berufsorientierenden Unterricht dieses Ziel umzusetzen? Und inwiefern sind die im Unterricht genutzten filmischen Berufsinformationen geeignet, um das Ziel der beruflichen Interessenerweiterung zu unterstützen?

description: We report the temperature dependent x-ray powder diffraction of the quaternary compound NdOFeAs (also called NdFeAsO) in the range between 300 K and 95 K. We have detected the structural phase transition from the tetragonal phase, with P4/nmm space group, to the orthorhombic or monoclinic phase, with Cmma or P112/a1 (or P2/c) space group, over a broad temperature range from 150 K to 120 K, centered at T0 ~137 K. Therefore the temperature of this structural phase transition is strongly reduced, by about ~30K, by increasing the internal chemical pressure going from LaOFeAs to NdOFeAs. In contrast the superconducting critical temperature increases from 27 K to 51 K going from LaOFeAs to NdOFeAs doped samples. This result shows that the normal striped orthorhombic Cmma phase competes with the superconducting tetragonal phase. Therefore by controlling the internal chemical pressure in new materials it should be possible to push toward zero the critical temperature T0 of the structural phase transition, giving the striped phase, in order to get superconductors with higher Tc.

description: Quantitative morphologies, such as asymmetry and concentration, have long been used as an effective way to assess the distribution of galaxy starlight in large samples. Application of such quantitative indicators to other data products could provide a tool capable of capturing the 2-dimensional distribution of a range of galactic properties, such as stellar mass or star-formation rate maps. In this work, we utilize galaxies from the Illustris and IllustrisTNG simulations to assess the applicability of concentration and asymmetry indicators to the stellar mass distribution in galaxies. Specifically, we test whether the intrinsic values of concentration and asymmetry (measured directly from the simulation stellar mass particle maps) are recovered after the application of measurement uncertainty and a point spread function (PSF). We find that random noise has a non-negligible systematic effect on asymmetry that scales inversely with signal-to-noise, particularly at signal-to-noise less than 100. We evaluate different methods to correct for the noise contribution to asymmetry at very low signal-to-noise, where previous studies have been unable to explore due to systematics. We present algebraic corrections for noise and resolution to recover the intrinsic morphology parameters. Using Illustris as a comparison dataset, we evaluate the robustness of these fits in the presence of a different physics model, and confirm these correction methods can be applied to other datasets. Lastly, we provide estimations for the uncertainty on different correction methods at varying signal-to-noise and resolution regimes.

description: The high-lights of ground-based very-high-energy (VHE, $E>100$ GeV) gamma-ray astronomy are reviewed. The summary covers both Galactic and extra-galactic sources. A total of at least 70 sources are currently known. Implications for our understanding of the non-thermal Universe are discussed. The next generation of ground based gamma-ray instruments aims to cover the entire accessible energy range from as low as $\approx 10$ GeV up to $10^5$ GeV and to improve the sensitivity by an order of magnitude in comparison with current instruments.
