description: La participación ciudadana en ciencia conoce en nuestra época una verdadera edad dorada. Hace apenas unas décadas era inimaginable la creciente influencia que la ciudadanía iba a tener en la marcha de la ciencia. Y, aunque algunos movimientos de activistas contra las nucleares lograron en los 80 situar en la agenda política de muchos gobiernos la resistencia popular al desarrollo de esta fuente de energía, lo cierto es que la presencia hoy de las ONG en la toma de decisiones comienza a ser algo habitual y, en algunos casos, alcanza la condición de estructural. Las sociedades modernas han necesitado explorar formas muy innovadoras de organización social que les permitan afrontar las nuevas encrucijadas a las que nos aboca la llamada sociedad del riesgo. Nadie discute que estamos hablando de asuntos de extrema gravedad, como lo manifiesta la experiencia adquirida durante las anteriores crisis del SIDA, de los alimentos y cultivos transgénicos y de las vacas locas. En su conjunto, los tres casos señalados (entre los muchos que podríamos mencionar) comparten algunos aspectos que aquí queremos subrayar. Quienes desde responsabilidades de gobierno o empresariales lamentaron el desbordamiento del tradicional sistema de expertos por los movimientos de agitación ciudadana, aprendieron que la gestión de estos conflictos tiene que ser menos vertical y más dialogante. Descubrieron también que no es fácil hacer frente a organizaciones que saben aprovechar muy bien las múltiples oportunidades que ofrecen las nuevas tecnologías de la información y de la comunicación (TIC).

description: This senior design report details the creation of modular attachments for conventional wheelchairs, aiming to enhance mobility and safety while addressing common injuries associated with standard hand rim wheelchairs. It explores two main innovations: a lever drive system and anti-tip rear casters, both designed to improve maneuverability and user experience. The lever drive system introduces a versatile propulsion method that helps alleviate common injuries found in standard hand rim wheelchairs. With carefully engineered lever arms, a braking system, and a gear system, this system provides users with an intuitive and efficient way to control the wheelchair. It ensures prompt stops and optimizes energy transfer, thereby reducing strain and potential injuries commonly associated with manual hand rim propulsion. The anti-tip rear casters prioritize stability, specifically addressing concerns during sudden movements or on uneven terrain without compromising maneuverability. These attachments are user-friendly and easily adaptable to cater to specific user needs. The report thoroughly covers the design, engineering, and testing procedures conducted to ensure the reliability, safety, and user-friendliness of these modular attachments. These attachments aim to significantly enhance traditional wheelchair functionality, promising improved mobility solutions and a reduced risk of associated injuries for users.
Hot heads and soft hearts : community and the self in the British Columbia Christian Soccer League
Creators: name: Howe Bukowski, Nicholas William
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: This thesis is about the British Columbia Christian Soccer League. The Metro Vancouver based league is part of a long history between sports and Christianity. The thesis is concerned with the question: what does it mean to be a Christian soccer player? Additionally, my project was interested in the social forms and relationships that could be produced, overcome and renegotiated through the soccer league. My fieldwork was spent with the soccer teams at an evangelical church, North Shore Alliance Church, in North Vancouver, Canada. This thesis is based on my time following the teams throughout the 2017 season and attending services at the churches. Soccer is a medium within the institution of North Shore Alliance Church to create community. Ideally, the soccer team, of mostly male church members, serves as a site of creating tight social bonds for people to ultimately become closer to God. The team is understood to serve as a site of community to counteract the fracture, individualism and self-glorification that the church associates with Western secularism. Players believe that the speed of the game, competitiveness and intensity leads to their “honest” or authentic self being shown. In the affective quality of the soccer field the players’ reactions to the game reveals the state of their “heart”. This knowledge allows the players to conceive of their relationship to God and the progress in a greater process of transformation. The play on the field acts as space to produce knowledge about their character and “heart”. Through soccer God can reveal and address areas of the player’s lives, such as anger. In this capacity, Christian soccer players should be open, emotionally attuned with God, emotionally responsive, vulnerable, concerned with others, and honest. The soccer team presents evangelical Christianity as a form of religion of felt experience, bodily knowledge, and emotion. In addition, it shows evangelical Christianity, a form of religion often associated with individualism, to be a form of religion that is also concerned with community and social bonds.

description: Curated global climate data have been generated from climate model outputs for the last 120,000 years, whereas reconstructions going back even further have been lacking due to the high computational cost of climate simulations. Here, we present a statistically-derived global terrestrial climate dataset for every 1,000 years of the last 800,000 years. It is based on a set of linear regressions between 72 existing HadCM3 climate simulations of the last 120,000 years and external forcings consisting of CO2, orbital parameters, and land type. The estimated climatologies were interpolated to 0.5° resolution and bias-corrected using present-day climate. The data compare well with the original HadCM3 simulations and with long-term proxy records. Our dataset includes monthly temperature, precipitation, cloud cover, and 17 bioclimatic variables. In addition, we derived net primary productivity and global biome distributions using the BIOME4 vegetation model. The data are a relevant source for different research areas, such as archaeology or ecology, to study the long-term effect of glacial-interglacial climate cycles for periods beyond the last 120,000 years.

description: A fundamental constant in systems of unitary fermions is the so-called Bertsch parameter, the ratio of the ground state energy for spin paired unitary fermions to that for free fermions at the same density. I discuss how we computed this parameter as well as the pairing gap using a recently developed lattice construction for unitary fermions, by measuring correlation functions for up to 38 fermions in a finite box. Our calculation illustrates interesting issues facing the study of many-body states on the lattice, which may eventually be confronted in QCD calculations as well.

description: An exceptional point is a special point in parameter space at which two (or more) eigenvalues and eigenvectors coincide. The discovery of exceptional points within mechanical and optical systems has uncovered peculiar effects in their vicinity. Here we consider perhaps the simplest quantum model which exhibits an exceptional point and which allows for an analytical treatment. In particular, we re-examine a two-level atom driven by a laser and suffering from losses. The same exceptional point arises in several non-Hermitian matrices which determine various aspects of the dynamics of the system. There are consequences for some important observables, for example the spectrum evolves from being a Lorentzian-like singlet to a Mollow triplet upon passing through the exceptional point. Our analysis supports the perspective that viewing certain quantum systems through the lens of exceptional points offers some desirable explanatory advantages.

Interviews with healthcare professionals who had used the interventions in practice provided positive feedback in relation to the purpose of the interventions and the ease of completion both of which were viewed as enhancing communication of positive newborn bloodspot screening results. Interviews with parents highlighted the perceived benefit of the co-designed interventions in terms of consistency, pacing and tailoring of information as well as providing reliable information to families following communication of the positive newborn bloodspot screening result. The process evaluation illuminated organisational and contextual barriers during implementation of the co-designed interventions in practice.ConclusionVariations in communication practices for positive newborn bloodspot screening results continue to exist. The co-designed interventions could help to standardise communication of positive newborn screening results from laboratories to clinicians and from clinicians to parents which in turn could improve parents' experience of receiving a positive newborn bloodspot screening result. Implementation highlighted some organisational and contextual barriers to effective adoption of the co-designed interventions in practice.Trial registration numberISRCTN15330120.

description: Fintech has revolutionized how Generation Z manages money, offering seamless, personalized, and data-driven financial solutions. As digital natives, Gen Z relies on budgeting apps, neobanks, and digital payment platforms for saving, investing, and financial planning. This study explores fintech’s influence on modern financial behavior, emphasizing its accessibility, real-time insights, and ease of use.  Beyond convenience, fintech fosters financial inclusion by expanding access to credit and financial services for young consumers with limited credit history. The COVID-19 pandemic further accelerated its adoption, solidifying its role in financial stability. As fintech evolves, innovations like cryptocurrency, ethical investing, and AI-driven financial guidance are reshaping the financial landscape. This study underscores fintech’s role in redefining personal finance for Gen Z and shaping the future of financial systems to meet their digital-first expectations.in banking services by highlighting how fintech is reshaping the financial habits of young consumers. Traditional banking is evolving due to Gen Z’s preference for digital-first solutions like mobile banking, neobanks, and AI-driven financial tools with services such as Improving Accessibility,Enhancing Financial Literacy,Encouraging Digital Investments and many more. Data analysis shows that 65% of Gen Z participants are familiar with digital finance, yet 40% are neutral about adopting it. Though 55% are interested in BNPL, micro-investing, and ethical investing, trust in influencers and fintech security is ambiguous, with 45% holding concerns. Mobile payments are best received, with 70% satisfaction, reflecting the shift towards modern, technology-based financial habits. This emphasizes the need for fintech platforms to enhance transparency, security, and education as main drivers for greater adoption and trust among Gen Z consumers.

description: Luminescence in Ce doped materials corresponds to a transition from an excited state where the lowest Ce 5d level is filled to the ground state where a single 4f level is filled. We have performed theoretical calculations based on Density Functional Theory to calculate the ground state band structure of Ce-doped materials as well as the Ce3+ excited state. The excited state calculations used a constrained occupancy approach by setting the occupation of the Ce 4f states to zero and allowing the first excited state above them to be filled. These calculations were performed on a set of Ce doped materials that are known from experiment to be scintillators or non-scintillators to relate theoretically calculable parameters to measured scintillator performance. From these studies we developed a set of criteria based on calculated parameters that are necessary characteristics for bright Ce activated scintillators. Applying these criteria to about a hundred new materials we developed a list of candidate materials for new bright Ce activated scintillators. After synthesis in powder form one of these new materials (Ba2YCl7:Ce) was found to be a bright scintillator. This approach, involving first-principles calculations of modest computing requirements was designed as a systematic, high-throughput method to aid in the discovery of new bright scintillator materials by prioritization and down-selection on the large number of potential new materials.

Political changes in the European Union and the EU member states, as much as political changes in Turkey, have an impact on EU-Turkey relations. This paper presents political changes in the EU as one of the drivers of EU-Turkey relations. It discusses whether the European “enlargement fatigue” has been, more specifically, “Turkey fatigue”. It looks at the politicisation of Turkey in European electoral debates, including some elections in the past that have shifted the direction of the relations. It then analyses three countries, Germany, France and the Netherlands, that held national elections in 2017, a year with a crowded schedule of elections across EU member states and in Turkey. While the topic of Turkey disappeared from the French electoral debates in 2017, it figured prominently in the other two elections, perhaps even more than in past elections. And while France is attempting to decouple bilateral relations from Turkey’s EU accession framework, this is not the case for the other two countries. As they stand, political changes in Europe eliminate a convergence scenario. This leaves two options as the most likely scenarios for the future of the relations: sporadic conflicts within a cooperation scenario or transactional cooperation centred on bilateral relations with member states.

An introduction to modern enumerative geometry with applications to the banana manifold
Creators: name: Pietromonaco, Stephen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: In this masters thesis we survey some foundational material needed for the presentation (in the final chapter) of new results on the Donaldson-Thomas and Gromov-Witten theories of the formal banana manifold. The first half is geared towards understanding stable vector bundles and instantons in Yang-Mills theory, stability conditions on coherent sheaves, applications to D-branes, as well as the standard curve-counting invariants in modern enumerative geometry and their physical interpretations. Much of the second half is devoted to introducing equivariant localization, automorphic forms, and arithmetic lifts, all of which appear in our new results. These are vast topics, but we are particularly interested in equivariant elliptic genera, Jacobi forms and Siegel modular forms, as well as the Maass and Borcherds lifts. In the final chapter, using a theorem of J. Bryan, we show that the Donaldson-Thomas partition function of the formal banana manifold is the formal Borcherds lift of a weight zero weak Jacobi form of matrix index. This weak Jacobi form is the equivariant elliptic genus of ℂ², and the formal Borcherds lift is closely related to a partition function of rank one instantons on ℂ². Assuming the GW/DT correspondence, we then prove that for g ≥ 2, the Gromov-Witten potentials Fg are genus two meromorphic Siegel modular forms of weight 2g - 2 arising as the Maass lift of an explicit weak Jacobi form. With this identification, we observe that the invariances of such Siegel modular forms precisely encode geometric symmetries of the formal banana manifold, as well as a flop symmetry. The Gopakumar-Vafa invariants are encoded non-trivially into the equivariant elliptic genus of ℂ², and depend only on a quadratic form. We observe that they share a number of features with those coming from the Katz-Klemm-Vafa formula.

description: Household waste is generated in places where people live, including workplaces. The generated solid household waste is transported to specially designated areas by special transport. As a result of a long stay of solid household waste in a stationary state in permanent storage areas, the process of decomposition of the organic part of solid household waste occurs as a result of biological changes under external influence. In the process of chemical and biochemical changes in the decomposition reaction, a number of products are released, which are dispersed into the air by the blowing wind and distributed among residential areas. At the same time, soil, water and atmosphere are infected.

description: The use of single molecules to design electronic devices is an extremely challenging and fundamentally different approach to further downsizing electronic circuits. Two-terminal molecular devices such as diodes were first predicted [1] and, more recently, measured experimentally [2]. The addition of a gate then enabled the study of molecular transistors [3-5]. In general terms, in order to increase data processing capabilities, one may not only consider the electron's charge but also its spin [6,7]. This concept has been pioneered in giant magnetoresistance (GMR) junctions that consist of thin metallic films [8,9]. Spin transport across molecules, i.e. Molecular Spintronics remains, however, a challenging endeavor. As an important first step in this field, we have performed an experimental and theoretical study on spin transport across a molecular GMR junction consisting of two ferromagnetic electrodes bridged by a single hydrogen phthalocyanine (H2Pc) molecule. We observe that even though H2Pc in itself is nonmagnetic, incorporating it into a molecular junction can enhance the magnetoresistance by one order of magnitude to 52%.

description: We present a preliminary spectroscopic analysis of the binary system V577Oph, observed during the summer of 2007 on the 2.6m NOT telescope on La Palma. We have obtained time series spectroscopic observations, which show clear binary motion as well as radial velocity variations due to pulsation in the primary star. By modelling the radial velocities we determine a full orbital solution of the system, which yields M_A sin^3 i = 1.562 +/- 0.012 M_solar and M_B sin^3 i = 1.461 +/- 0.020 M_solar. An estimate of inclination from photometry yields a primary mass of 1.6 M_solar. Using this derived mass, and the known pulsation frequency we can impose a lower limit of 1 Gyr on the age of the system, and constrain the parameters of the oscillation mode. We show that with further analysis of the spectra (extracting the atmospheric parameters), tighter constraints could be imposed on the age, metallicity and the mode parameters. This work emphasizes the power that a single pulsation frequency can have for constraining stellar parameters in an eclipsing binary system.

description: In this paper I determine the general form of the physical and mathematical restrictions that arise on the interactions of gravity and scalar fields in the 2T field theory setting, in d+2 dimensions, as well as in the emerging shadows in d dimensions. These constraints on scalar fields follow from an underlying Sp(2,R) gauge symmetry in phase space. Determining these general constraints provides a basis for the construction of 2T supergravity, as well as physical applications in 1T-field theory, that are discussed briefly here, and more detail elsewhere. In particular, no scale models that lead to a vanishing cosmological constant at the classical level emerge naturally in this setting.

Conflicts of Devotion: Liturgical Poetics in Sixteenth- and Seventeenth-Century England
Creators: name: Gibbons, Daniel R.
Publisher: name: University of Notre Dame
Year: 2023

description: Who will mourn with me? Who will break bread with me? Who is my neighbor? In the wake of the religious reformations of the sixteenth century, such questions called for a new approach to the communal religious rituals and verses that shaped and commemorated many of the brightest and darkest moments of English life. In England, new forms of religious writing emerged out of a deeply fractured spiritual community. _Conflicts of Devotion_ reshapes our understanding of the role that poetry played in the re-formation of English community, and shows us that understanding both the poetics of liturgy and the liturgical character of poetry is essential to comprehending the deep shifts in English spiritual attitudes and practices that occurred during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The liturgical, communitarian perspective of _Conflicts of Devotion_ sheds new light on neglected texts and deepens our understanding of how major writers such as Edmund Spenser, Robert Southwell, and John Donne struggled to write their way out of the spiritual and social crises of the age of the Reformation. It also sheds new light on the roles that poetry may play in negotiating-and even overcoming-religious conflict. Attention to liturgical poetics allows us to see the broad spectrum of ways in which English poets forged new forms of spiritual community out of the very language of theological division. This book will be of great interest to teachers and students of early modern poetry and of the various fields related to Reformation studies: history, politics, and theology.

description: Frequency separations used to infer global properties of stars through asteroseismology can change depending on the strength and at what epoch of the stellar cycle the p-mode frequencies are measured. In the Sun these variations have been seen, even though the Sun is a low-activity star. In this paper, we discuss these variations and their impact on the determination of the stellar parameters (radius, mass and age) for the Sun. Using the data from maximum and minimum activity, we fitted an age for the Sun that differs on average by 0.2 Gyr: slightly older during minimum activity. The fitted radius is also lower by about 0.5% for the solar effective temperature during minimum.

description: Fluorescent detection of proteins is a popular method of detection allying sensitivity, linearity and compatibility with mass spectrometry. Among the numerous methods described in the literature, staining with ruthenium II tris(bathophenanthroline disulfonate) is particularly cost-effective, but slightly cumbersome owing to difficulties in the preparation of the complex and complexity of staining protocols. We describe here the modifications on both aspects that allow to perform a higher contrast staining and offer a more robust method of complex preparation, thereby maximizing the advantages of the method.
title: Development of equal and unequal filtered power splitter using substrate integrated waveguide
Creators: name: Dainkeh, Amadu
Publisher: name: The University of East London
Year: 2018

description: The objective of this thesis is to investigate and provide better solution to producing filtered power splitter with compact size and with use of no resistors for its isolation. The background investigation and utilisation of the established theories build up the design equations that are adapted to power dividers. These dividers contain filtering characteristics and are employed in microstrip and substrate integrated waveguide technology.
The work involves the design of a filtered power splitter with bandpass characteristics. It uses the conventional filter design synthesis to develop the design parameters that establish the coupling between the common resonator of the power splitter and the next resonator towards the output ports.
An equal and an unequal division using a 5-pole, 9-square resonators is used verify this concept; this is also implemented in microstrip using Square open loop resonators (SOLR) and in SIW. Furthermore, a 3-pole 5-square resonators is also implemented in SIW; all of these operating at 2 GHz.
For the equal split, the 5th order microstrip gives a bandwidth, minimum insertion loss, maximum return loss and isolation of 120MHz, 3.12dB, 15dB and 12.6dB respectively and the 3rd order SIW gives a bandwidth, minimum insertion loss, maximum return and isolation of 99Mhz, 3.57dB, 17.1dB and 6.79dB respectively; whilst the 5th order SIW gives a bandwidth, minimum insertion loss, maximum return and isolation of 140Mhz, 3.87dB, 18.3dB and 14.79dB respectively. However, it is recommended that this work can be extended to more than two output ports, to improve isolation, increase the Q factor and match the output ports.
Experimental and theoretical study of the electronic structure of single-crystal BaBiO₃

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: Hole doped bismuth perovskite is one of the rare examples of a three-dimensional high transition temperature superconducting oxide (Tc = 34 K) without a transition metal cation. The undoped compound, BaBiO₃, also shows closely interlinked electronic and structural phase transitions and a controversial insulating mechanism. Understanding the electronic structure of the parent compound, BaBiO₃, can give valuable insight into both its superconducting mechanism, in particular, and into the physics of the perovskites family, in general. In this work, we first grow high-quality single crystals of BaBiO₃ by congruent melting technique and characterize the crystals with x-ray di ffraction, x-ray photoemission, and transport properties measurements. We then investigate the electronic structure of the material from both theoretical and experimental perspectives. Experimentally, we study the crystals through x-ray absorption, x-ray emission, and photoelectron spectroscopies. X-ray spectroscopy verfi es the results of density functional theory (DFT) regarding the overall band structure featuring strong O 2p character of the empty anti-bonding combination of the hybridized Bi 6s and O 2p states. We also develop a routine to successfully clean the sample's surface in order to achieve the intrinsic O 1s x-ray photoemission spectrum. Finally, we employ the "exact diagonalization single cluster con figuration interaction" method to investigate the ground state electronic structure of the material and to understand the measured O 1s x-ray photoemission result. From the analysis of the core level line shapes, we conclude that the dominant O 2p-Bi 6s hybridization energy scale determines the low energy scale electronic structure. We also find that for a wide range of electronic parameters, the holes reside primarily on the ligand oxygen anions rather than the bismuth cation consistent with the band structure calculation but contrary to what is traditionally assumed for this material. This analysis provides further insight into the importance of self-doped oxygen 2p states in this high Tc family of oxides.

description: Un nuevo enfoque: mitos (Zeus, Indra, dioses mesopotámicos como "orden social-moral" (R Reyes) y fuerzas sociales (Durkheim)
Como observó hace mucho tiempo Confucio, un filósofo y líder espiritual chino que vivió entre 551 y 479 a. C., "los signos y los símbolos gobiernan el mundo, no las palabras ni las leyes". Como observó Rollo May, la psicología y las ciencias sociales han dejado de lado y marginado en gran medida el simbolismo. Tanto Muzafer Sherif como Viktor Frankl enfatizaron el hecho de que las diferentes disciplinas de la ciencia y las diferentes escuelas de pensamiento están en gran medida separadas y desconectadas.
La escuela de pensamiento del interaccionismo simbólico, que surgió aproximadamente entre 1890 y 1910, es una teoría sociológica que se centra en cómo las personas crean significado a través de las interacciones sociales, basándose en el argumento de que el lenguaje y los símbolos construyen el mundo social. Aunque en su mayoría está fuera de las ciencias sociales convencionales, el "simbolismo social" ha logrado algunos avances. En su artículo, "Formas y funciones del simbolismo social, Elzbieta Halas enumera más de 20 académicos relativamente recientes que contribuyen a la teoría simbólica social. Halas afirma que "la acción comunicativa es un proceso colectivo. Básicamente, la vida de un grupo se organiza en torno a la comunicación. Más profundamente, los grupos existen solo sobre la base de la simbolización común de sus miembros".
El mundo moderno ha demostrado que Confucio tenía razón. Para bien o para mal, los símbolos políticos y religiosos son los más destacados en el mundo actual. El régimen nazi manipuló los símbolos para crear motivaciones en los miembros y promover su ideología. Utilizaron propaganda basada en gran medida en símbolos y simbolismo para defender su versión sesgada de la verdad. Los nazis también alentaron la eliminación de los símbolos religiosos. Los símbolos religiosos también son extremadamente populares. El símbolo de Jesucristo en la cruz es un símbolo prototípico.

A bundle of gestures : personal archives, family, and history on the Mexican stage
Creators: name: Carrillo, Jorge Alberto
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: The archives of Delfina Garmendia (1877-1952) and Arturo Monroy (1865-1917) have been bypassed by historians of Mexico even though their contents suggest that they were actively involved in the Mexican Revolution (1910-1920) and mingled with some of its key figures that appear in most history books. These private archives reveal a form of life writing in which family life is imagined and performed as a way to navigate and transact class positionality in the public sphere, but also as a way to insert oneself in the narrative of the newly defined nation. The performativity captured in these archives shows how notions of history and memory are not necessarily mutually inclusive, and how there is not much of a divide between private and public life. As is the case with the Garmendia-Monroy archive and other family archives found in institutional repositories, most of the material found in them is composed of official documentation and a large collection of photographs and letters addressed to friends and acquaintances originally intended as tokens of appreciation, known in Spanish as detalles. Honing our attention onto these type of archives reveals the epistemological processes involved in the act of archiving, and by extension how history works: for those who create the archive, for those who inherit it, and for those who come into contact with it.

Donut and dynamic polarization effects in proton channeling through carbon nanotubes

description: We investigate the angular and spatial distributions of protons of the energy of 0.223 MeV after channeling through an (11,~9) single-wall carbon nanotube of the length of 0.2 $μ$m. The proton incident angle is varied between 0 and 10 mrad, being close to the critical angle for channeling. We show that, as the proton incident angle increases and approaches the critical angle for channeling, a ring-like structure is developed in the angular distribution - donut effect. We demonstrate that it is the rainbow effect. When the proton incident angle is between zero and a half of the critical angle for channeling, the image force affects considerably the number and positions of the maxima of the angular and spatial distributions. However, when the proton incident angle is close to the critical angle for channeling, its influence on the angular and spatial distributions is reduced strongly. We demonstrate that the increase of the proton incident angle can lead to a significant rearrangement of the propagating protons within the nanotube. This effect may be used to locate atomic impurities in nanotubes as well as for creating nanosized proton beams to be used in materials science, biology and medicine.

Seismic signatures of stellar cores of solar-like pulsators: dependence on mass and age

description: Useful information from the inner layers of stellar pulsators may be derived from the study of their oscillations. In this paper we analyse three diagnostic tools suggested in the literature built from the oscillation frequencies computed for a set of main sequence models with masses between $1.0\, {\rm M}_{\odot}$ and $1.6\, {\rm M}_{\odot}$, to check what information they may hold about stellar cores. For the models with convective cores ($M \geq 1.2\,{\rm M}_{\odot}$) we find a relation between the frequency slopes of the diagnostic tools and the size of the jump in the sound speed at the edge of the core. We show that this relation is independent of the mass of the models. In practice, since the size of the jump in the sound speed is related to the age of the star, using these seismic tools we may, in principle, infer the star's evolutionary state. We also show that when combining two of the three diagnostic tools studied, we are able to distinguish models with convective cores from models without a convective core but with strong sound-speed gradients in the inner layers.

description: We describe the Herschel Virgo Cluster Survey (HeViCS) and the first data obtained as part of the Science Demonstration Phase (SDP). The data cover a central 4x4 sq deg region of the cluster. We use SPIRE and PACS photometry data to produce 100, 160, 250, 350 and 500 micron luminosity functions (LFs) for optically bright galaxies that are selected at 500 micron and detected in all bands. We compare these LFs with those previously derived using IRAS, BLAST and Herschel-ATLAS data. The Virgo Cluster LFs do not have the large numbers of faint galaxies or examples of very luminous galaxies seen previously in surveys covering less dense environments.

Bayesian analysis of variable-order, reversible Markov chains
Creators: name: Bacallado, Sergio
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Statistics Theory (math.ST)

description: We define a conjugate prior for the reversible Markov chain of order $r$. The prior arises from a partially exchangeable reinforced random walk, in the same way that the Beta distribution arises from the exchangeable Polyá urn. An extension to variable-order Markov chains is also derived. We show the utility of this prior in testing the order and estimating the parameters of a reversible Markov model.
