description: Several recent numerical simulations of off-center cluster mergers predict that significant angular momentum with associated velocities of a few x 10^{3} km/s can be imparted to the resulting cluster. Such gas bulk velocities can be detected by the Doppler shift of X-ray spectral lines with ASCA spectrometers. Using two ASCA observations of the Centaurus cluster, we produced a velocity map for the gas in the cluster's central regions. We also detected radial and azimuthal gradients in temperature and metal abundance distributions, which seem to be associated with the infalling sub-group centered at NGC 4709 (Cen 45). More importantly, we found a significant (>99.8% confidence level) velocity gradient along a line near-perpendicular to the direction of the incoming sub-group and with a maximum velocity difference of ~3.4+-1.1 x 10^{3} km/s. It is unlikely (P < 0.002) that the observed velocity gradient is generated by gain fluctuations across the detectors. While the observed azimuthal temperature and abundance variations can be attributed to the interaction with Cen 45, we argue that the intracluster gas velocity gradient is more likely due to a previous off-center merging event in the main body of the Centaurus cluster.

description: We discuss the pair production of charginos in collisions of polarized photons $γγ\to \tildeχ_i^+ \tildeχ_i^-$, ($i=1,2$) and the subsequent leptonic decay of the lighter chargino $\tildeχ_1^+ \to \tildeχ_1^0 e^+ ν_e$ including the complete spin correlations. Analytical formulae are given for the polarization and the spin-spin correlations of the charginos. Since the production is a pure QED process the decay dynamics can be studied separately. For high energy photons from Compton backscattering of polarized laser pulses off polarized electron beams numerical results are presented for the cross section, the angular distribution and the forward-backward asymmetry of the decay positron. Finally we study the dependence on the gaugino mass parameter $M_1$ and on the sneutrino mass for a gaugino-like MSSM scenario.

description: Water resources become increasingly scarce, scarcity that will become acute in the coming years due, among others, to a reduction in water supply, as a result of climate change, and the increase in demand, accentuated by the population increase and the requirements of economic growth and development. In this context of scarcity, Morocco is confronted with the need to adapt its water management policy from a supply management to a demand management one. Implementing such a policy requires the adoption of new policy instruments and decision making support tools that take into account the complexity of the current and future situation, as well as allowing the assessment of the economic, social and environmental impacts of various water resources allocation alternatives at the overall river basin level. This paper compares several methods for calculating the water value and proposes an integrated economic water management model at the river basin scale. This model takes into account the economic, institutional, hydrological and agricultural aspects, as well as the behavior of various agents involved in water resources management and the competition among sectors. One Major contribution of this model is a detailed disaggregation by spatial units (hydrological units, cropping areas, and grazing land), by agricultural production systems (irrigated and rainfed crops), and by farm sizes. Basically it’s an optimization model with a non linear objective function, and using the positive mathematical programming method technique for its calibration. Given the conjunctive use of water at the river basin level, the model results show the tremendous impact of surface water management on the overexploitation of the ground water and the risk of its depletion. A management policy of surface water based on administrative pricing, pumping cost, and water supply marginal cost is proven inadequate for a sustainable resource management since it underestimates the overall water scarcity at the river basin level.

description: The formation mechanisms of two-dimensional materials are poorly understood, limiting their potential in many applications. Hydrodynamic shear and solvent-surface interactions have recently been suggested to play dominant roles in wet synthesis, but have not been properly explored. Here I developed new methods to both synthesize and analyse inorganic and metal-organic two-dimensional materials, using a combination of microreactor technology and liquid cell transmission electron microscopy (LTEM). To evaluate the effect of hydrodynamic shear, a new microreactor was designed and characterized via high speed fluorescence microscopy and chemical micromixing tests. By operating in the two-phase annular flow regime, it is possible to form microfilms with tuneable shear rates as high as ~1E6 s-1 and sub-millisecond micromixing. By synthesizing layered double hydroxides in this reactor over different shear rates, I found that crystallinity and aspect ratio vary non-monotonically with shear. To investigate the dynamics of particle growth I used LTEM to find that layered double hydroxides (LDH) may crystallize via oriented attachment, which is accelerated by hydrodynamic flow. These observations are used to formulate a mechanism that explains the non-monotonic variation in particle characteristics using characteristic kinetic timescales. I then demonstrated the impact of this method on the synthesis of LDH supercapacitor electrodes, showing that control of shear rate and choice of a dispersion solvent are crucial parameters to fabricate highly capacitve thin films. Applying the same technique to metal organic frameworks, I discovered a new polymorph of copper benzene dicarboxylic acid, which arises from surface energy effects. I used LTEM to analyze the effect of solvent on polymorphism and particle formation, showing that nanosheets may crystallize via oriented attachment, and that the rate and direction of oriented attachment are dramatically influenced by solvent-surface interactions. The CuBDC nanosheets were then applied as adsorbents in organic solvents, in which solvent-induced self-assembly can significantly affect nanomaterial sorption performance.

description: Conservation agriculture (CA) is heralded as a means to increase yields and reverse land degradation in Sub-Saharan Africa. Low adoption levels have led to a polarized debate about the merits of conservation agriculture with critics questioning the suitability of the technology and proponents calling for increased and better promotion. Combining quantitative and qualitative analysis, this study examines the determinants of adoption of hand-hoe and oxen-draw minimum tillage in Eastern Zambia and the motivations for farmers’ decisions to implement or reject the technologies.

description: Vibrant agricultural commodity exchanges will greatly enhance the performance of Africa’s agricultural sectors and contribute to overall economic development. Yet specific conditions in grain markets are required for agricultural commodity exchanges to develop.1 The absence or short-lived nature of many of these conditions explains why commodity exchanges for staple grains have remained stunted in Sub-Saharan Africa despite strong interest in their development by the international donor community and by most elements of the private sector. This study identifies these preconditions and assesses the scope for development organizations to support the sustainable development of commodity exchanges in eastern and southern Africa.

description: The dielectric dispersion, dielectrophoretic (DEP) and electrorotational (ER) spectra of spheroidal biological cell suspensions with an intrinsic dispersion in the constituent dielectric constants are investigated. By means of the spectral representation method, we express analytically the characteristic frequencies and dispersion strengths both for the effective dielectric constant and the Clausius-Mossotti factor (CMF). We identify four and six characteristic frequencies for the effective dielectric spectra and CMF respectively, all of them being dependent on the depolarization factor (or the cell shape). The analytical results allow us to examine the effects of the cell shape, the dispersion strength and the intrinsic frequency on the dielectric dispersion, DEP and ER spectra. Furthermore, we include the local-field effects due to the mutual interactions between cells in a dense suspension, and study the dependence of co-field or anti-field dispersion peaks on the volume fractions.

Productivity Analysis

description: Sustainable intensification in crop and livestock production is the foundation for smallholder agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa to adapt to a changing world, to respond to new economic opportunities, and to address poverty reduction and food security. For crop farmers, substantial gains in potential productivity have been made through crop genetics, but these do not translate into production without complementary investments in soil, water, and pest management. Nitrogen is the key driver for cereal crop performance across most environments, both in terms of yield and stability of yield (Vanlauwe et al. 2013). Understanding nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) – here defined as the amount of additional grain harvested per kilogram of nitrogen applied to the grain crop – thus becomes an urgent project that underlies success in agricultural development in the region. Indeed, nitrogen has been identified as one of the grand challenges of the 21st Century given its pivotal role in food production, and nowhere is this more important than in sub-Saharan Africa where fertilizer manufacture infrastructure is non-existent and landlocked countries face fertilizer costs five to ten-fold higher than in the Global North.

description: Natural products have long been known for their broad range of useful therapeutic properties, and have been widely utilised in the field of medicine. This dissertation describes work towards the total synthesis of natural products possessing biological activity in two important areas. The first section concerns the total synthesis of six 4-quinolone natural products, four of which had never been synthesised before. These compounds were originally isolated from a soil bacterium of the genus Pseudonocardia, and bear intriguing structural resemblance to the Pseudomonas Quinolone Signal. This signalling molecule is vital to the quorum sensing activity of the human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which is a phenomenon by which it regulates many of its virulence factors. These natural products possess the potential to disrupt this system, hence attenuating the pathogenicity of the bacteria. The routes that were developed are highly divergent, efficiently giving access to multiple natural products from mutual late stage intermediates. Key steps included regioselective epoxidation, palladium-catalysed heterocylisation and acid catalysed 1,3-transposition of an allylic alcohol. In the second section, attention turns towards the total synthesis of the complex sesquiterpene lactone 1β-Hydroxyalantolactone. The compound possesses five stereogenic centres, one of which is quaternary, alongside a challenging tricyclic core scaffold. Previous biological studies have revealed a range of intriguing properties, including anti-inflammatory and anti-tumour activity. The chosen route utilises as its key step the catalytic desymmetrisation of a diene which was itself accessed by Birch reduction chemistry. Whilst the synthesis is as yet incomplete, access was granted to a key intermediate encompassing around half of the stereocentres present in the natural product.

description: A new wave of “market smart” modern input subsidy schemes has emerged in sub-Saharan Africa over the past decade with the promise of increasing input use and grain yields while building or complementing private sector efforts. We study the extent to which geographic and household level targeting under Kenya’s National Accelerated Agricultural Input Access Program (NAAIAP) has remained true to its “market smart” objectives using household level panel data from before and during the initial years of program implementation (2007-2010).

description: Rotation properties (spin-axis direction and rotation period) and coarse shape models of asteroids can be reconstructed from their disk-integrated brightness when measured from various viewing geometries. These physical properties are essential for creating a global picture of structure and dynamical evolution of the main belt. The number of shape and spin models can be increased not only when new data are available, but also by combining independent data sets and inverting them together. Our aim was to derive new asteroid models by processing readily available photometry. We used asteroid photometry compiled in the Lowell Observatory photometry database with photometry from the Gaia Data Release 2. Both data sources are available for about 5400 asteroids. In the framework of the Asteroids@home distributed computing project, we applied the light curve inversion method to each asteroid to find its convex shape model and spin state that fits the observed photometry. Due to the limited number of Gaia DR2 data points and poor photometric accuracy of Lowell data, we were able to derive unique models for only ~1100 asteroids. Nevertheless, 762 of these are new models that significantly enlarge the current database of about 1600 asteroid models. Our results demonstrate the importance of a combined approach to inversion of asteroid photometry. While our models in general agree with those obtained by separate inversion of Lowell and Gaia data, the combined inversion is more robust, model parameters are more constrained, and unique models can be reconstructed in many cases when individual data sets alone are not sufficient.

description: A stellar hydrodynamic pulsation model has been combined with a SiO maser model in an attempt to calculate the temporal variability of SiO maser emission in the circumstellar envelope (CE) of a model AGB star. This study investigates whether the variations in local physical conditions brought about by shocks are the predominant contributing factor to SiO maser variability because, in this work, the radiative part of the pump is constant. We find that some aspects of the variability are not consistent with a pump provided by shock-enhanced collisions alone. In these simulations, gas parcels of relatively enhanced SiO abundance are distributed in a model CE by a Monte Carlo method, at a single epoch of the stellar cycle. From this epoch on, Lagrangian motions of individual parcels are calculated according to the velocity fields encountered in the model CE during the stellar pulsation cycle. The potentially masing gas parcels therefore experience different densities and temperatures, and have varying line-of-sight velocity gradients throughout the stellar cycle, which may or may not be suitable to produce maser emission. At each epoch (separated by 16.6 days), emission lines from the parcels are combined to produce synthetic spectra and VLBI-type images. We report here the results for v=1, J=1-0 (43-GHz) and J=2-1 (86-GHz) masers.

description: Emotions remain notably underexplored in both criminology and prisons research. This thesis sets out to address this problem by centralizing the importance of emotions in prison: especially the way prisoners express and regulate their affective states. To collect the data, 25 male and 25 female prisoners were ‘shadowed’, observed and interviewed across two prisons (HMP Send and HMP Ranby). Based on these findings, this thesis describes the emotional world of prisoners and their various ‘affective’ strategies. The three substantive chapters reveal the textured layers and various emotional states experienced by prisoners: first, at the level of the self (psychological); second, as existing between groups (social emotions); and, third, in relation to the physical environment (spatial). An individual substantive chapter is dedicated to each of these three levels of analysis. A primary finding was the prevalence of a wide range of ‘emotion management’ strategies among prisoners. One such strategy was emotion suppression, which was extremely salient among both men and women. While this emotion suppression was, in part, a product of pre-prison experiences it was also strongly influenced by institutional practices. Importantly, there was a strong correlation between prisoners who suppressed emotions and who were subsequently involved in violence (towards others, or inflicted upon themselves). A second key finding was the wide range of emotions that exist within, and are shaped by, different prison spaces—previous accounts have described prison as emotionally sterile, or characterised by anxiety and fear but this study develops the idea that prisons have an ‘emotional geography’ or affective ‘map’. The study findings have implications for the ‘emotional survivability’ of our prisons; the need to open legitimate channels for emotional expression; and designing prisoners that are supportive, safe and secure establishments for prisoners to live in.

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

description: Typical gamma-ray burst spectra are characterized by a spectral break, Ep, which for bright BATSE bursts is found to be narrowly clustered around 300 keV. Recently identified X-ray flashes, which may account for a significant portion of the whole GRB population, seem to extend the Ep distribution to a broader range below 40 keV. Positive correlations among Ep and some other observed parameters have been noticed. On the other hand, within the cosmological fireball model, the issues concerning the dominant energy ingredient of the fireball as well as the location of the GRB emission site are still unsettled, leading to several variants of the fireball model. Here we analyze these models within a unified framework, and critically reexamine the Ep predictions in the various model variants. Attention is focused on the predictions of the narrowness of the Ep distribution in different models, and the correlations among Ep and some other measurable observables. These model properties may be tested against the current and upcoming GRB data, through which the nature of the fireball as well as the mechanism and site of the GRB emission will be identified. In view of the current data, various models are appraised through a simple Monte-Carlo simulation, and a tentative discussion about the possible nature of X-ray flashes is presented.

description: Based on an ethnography conducted between 2013–2015 within a religious community in Brazil, this thesis investigates the meanings of a growing worldwide religious movement fusing beliefs and identity claims deriving from Judaism and Charismatic Evangelicalism. Unlike Messianic Judaism, where Jewish-born people identified as believers in Jesus remain faithful to their Jewish traditions while observing Charismatic Evangelical practices or Christian Zionism, Evangelicals who emphasise the theological and eschatological importance of Jews living in Israel, this thesis addresses a different dimension of this trend. Focusing particularly on women’s conversion narratives, this study investigates the reasons why Charismatic Evangelical Brazilians are actively embracing a version of Judaism that requires them to follow the strict dress codes and purity laws of Orthodox Jews while believing in Jesus as the Messiah. My analysis concluded that the emergence of these communities should be understood as a revival aiming to restore some Charismatic Evangelical practices. Pointing to the moral permissiveness, materialism, individualism, and petitionary rhetoric enforced in their former Charismatic Evangelical churches—influenced by Neo-Pentecostal tenets—they embrace an austere religious style characterised by self- cultivation centred in Jewish ritual and ethos. This pious revival also involves recovering a collective past. References to a hidden Jewish heritage and a ‘return’ to Judaism are mobilised for justifying the community’s strict adherence to Jewish practices. Drawing upon a socio-cultural and gender-sensitive analysis, this study examines the historical, religious and subjective reasons behind this emerging ‘Judaising’ trend in Charismatic Evangelicalism. This thesis also engages with the literature of religious conversion, morality, cultural change and debates examining hybridisation processes.

description: Holographic dualities are now an established tool in the study of universal properties of strongly coupled field theories. Yet, theories without translational symmetry are still poorly understood in this context. In this dissertation, we investigate three new approaches to this challenging problem. The first part of the dissertation concerns a class of phenomenological holographic models in which momentum relaxation can be achieved without breaking translational symmetry in the dual geometry. In particular, we focus on an example in which the dual geometry is similar to anti-de Sitter (AdS) Brans-Dicke theory. We study the thermodynamic and transport properties of the model and show that for strong momentum relaxation and low temperatures the model has insulator-like behaviour. In the second part, we go beyond the effective description and consider holographic theories which explicitly break translational symmetry. From the perspective of gravity, these theories translate to geometries that vary explicitly in the boundary space-like coordinates. We refer to these geometries as 'inhomogeneous' and investigate two approaches to study them. The first is motivated by the question: "what happens to a homogeneous geometry when coupled with a field varying randomly in space?". Starting from an AdS geometry at zero or finite temperature, we show that a spatially varying random Maxwell potential drives the dual field theory to a non-trivial infra-red fixed point characterised by an emerging scale invariance. Thermodynamic and transport properties of this disordered ground state are also discussed. The second is motivated by the complementary question: "how does a random geometry affect a probe field?". In the weak disorder limit, we show that disorder induces an additional power-law decay in the dual correlation functions. For certain choices of geometry profile, this contribution becomes dominant in the infra-red, indicating the breaking of perturbation theory and the possible existence of a phase transition induced by disorder. The third and last part of this dissertation switches from the gravity to the field theoretical side of the duality. We discuss the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model, a disordered many-body model with distinctive black hole-like properties. We provide analytical and numerical evidence that these holographic properties are robust against a natural one-body deformation for a finite range of parameters. Outside this interval, this system undergoes a chaotic-integrable transition.

description: We demonstrate that structures made of light can be used to coherently control the motion of complex molecules. In particular, we show diffraction of the fullerenes C60 and C70 at a thin grating based on a standing light wave. We prove experimentally that the principles of this effect, well known from atom optics, can be successfully extended to massive and large molecules which are internally in a thermodynamic mixed state and which do not exhibit narrow optical resonances. Our results will be important for the observation of quantum interference with even larger and more complex objects.

description: We combine bare perturbation theory with the imaginary time evolution technique to study one-loop radiative corrections to various components of angular momentum of the electron. Our investigations are based on the canonical decomposition of angular momentum, where spin and orbital components, associated with fermionic and electromagnetic degrees of freedom, are individually approached. We use for this purpose quantum electrodynamics in the general covariant gauge and develop a formalism, based on the repeated use of the Sochocki-Plemelj formula, for proper enforcement of the imaginary time limit. It is then shown that careful implementation of imaginary time evolutions is crucial for getting a correct result for total angular momentum of the electron in the bare perturbative expansion. We also analyze applicability of the Pauli-Villars regularization to our problem, developing a variant of this technique based on modifications of studied observables by subtraction of their ghost operator counterparts. It is then shown that such an approach leads to the consistent regularization of all angular momenta that we compute.

description: Using the Chandra X-ray Observatory we have discovered a diffuse, center-filled region of hard X-ray emission within the young, oxygen-rich supernova remnant (SNR) G292.0+1.8. Near the peak of this diffuse emission lies a point-like source of X-ray emission that is well described by an absorbed power-law spectrum with photon index $1.72\pm0.09$. This source appears to be marginally extended; its extent of 1.3$^{\prime\prime}$ (FWHM) is greater than that of a nearby serendipitous X-ray source with FWHM = $1.1^{\prime\prime}$. This is strong evidence for the presence within SNR G292.0+1.8 of a young rapidly-rotating pulsar and its associated pulsar wind nebula. From the unabsorbed, 0.2-4 keV band X-ray luminosity of the pulsar wind nebula ($L_X\sim 4\times 10^{34} \rm ergs s^{-1}$), we infer a spin-down energy loss rate of $\dot E \sim 7\times 10^{36} \rm ergs s^{-1}$ for the still undetected pulsar. The pulsar candidate is $0.9^\prime$ from the geometric center of the SNR which implies a transverse velocity of $\sim$$770 (D/4.8 {\rm kpc}) (t/1600 {\rm yr})^{-1} \rm km s^{-1}$ assuming currently accepted values for the distance and age of G292.0+1.8.

description: The permutation symmetry of the hidden units in multilayer perceptrons causes the saddle structure and plateaus of the learning dynamics in gradient learning methods. The correlation of the weight vectors of hidden units in a teacher network is thought to affect this saddle structure, resulting in a prolonged learning time, but this mechanism is still unclear. In this paper, we discuss it with regard to soft committee machines and on-line learning using statistical mechanics. Conventional gradient descent needs more time to break the symmetry as the correlation of the teacher weight vectors rises. On the other hand, no plateaus occur with natural gradient descent regardless of the correlation for the limit of a low learning rate. Analytical results support these dynamics around the saddle point.

description: We present the 15 micron luminosity function of type 1 AGN (QSO + Seyfert 1). Our sample of 21 high-redshift sources is selected from the Preliminary Analysis catalogue in the S1 field of the European Large Area ISO Survey (ELAIS). To study the cosmological evolution of the AGN1 luminosity function, our sample has been combined with a local sample of 41 sources observed by IRAS. We find that the luminosity function of AGN1 at 15 micron is fairly well represented by a double-power-law-function. There is evidence for significant cosmological evolution consistent with a pure luminosity evolution (PLE) model L(z) (1+z)^k, with k=3.0-3.3. The value of k depends on the existence or not of an evolution cut-off at redshift ~2, and on the adopted cosmology. From the luminosity function and its evolution we estimate a contribution of AGN1 to the Cosmic Infrared Background (CIRB) of nuI_nu ~ 6 x 10^{-11}W m^{-2} sr^{-1} at 15 micron. This corresponds to ~2-3% of the total observed CIRB at this wavelength. Under the usual assumptions of unified models for AGN, the expected contribution of the whole AGN population to the CIRB at 15 micron is 10-15%.

description: In this paper, we calculate new line lists and opacities for the 12 bands of the A$^6Σ^{+}$ -- X$^6Σ^{+}$ transitions of the CrH molecule. Identified in objects of the new L dwarf spectroscopic class (many of which are brown dwarfs), as well as in sunspots, the CrH molecule plays an important role in the diagnosis of low-temperature atmospheres. As a tentative first application of these opacities, we employ our new theoretical CrH data in an atmospheres code to obtain a CrH/H$_2$ number ratio for the skin of the L5 dwarf 2MASSI J1507038-151648 of $\sim 2-4\times 10^{-9}$, in rough agreement with chemical equilibrium expectations. Since in previous compilations the oscillator strength was off by more than an order of magnitude, this agreement represents a modest advance. However, in order to determine the CrH abundance in an L dwarf atmosphere, silicate clouds need to be incorporated into the model, and cloud modeling is still in a primitive stage of development. Nevertheless, one important step in L dwarf modeling is a reliable CrH opacity and this is what we have here attempted to provide.
