Link between bars, neutral hydrogen gas content and star formation in barred ring galaxies
Creators: name: Chandrashekar Murugeshan
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Bars are believed to play an important role in the evolution of galaxies via their ability to transfer angular momentum (AM) to the outskirts of galaxies while also driving gas towards the galactic centres leading to star formation. Previous studies have shown that barred galaxies appear to be more gas-deficient and quenched compared to non-barred galaxies. In addition to AM transfer and quenching, bars are believed to drive and sustain resonance rings at one or more Lindblad resonance locations. In this talk, I will present a new high-resolution neutral atomic hydrogen (HI) survey of ring galaxies using the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) to probe the HI gas and star formation properties of ring galaxies. We find that most of the barred ring galaxies in our sample are HI-deficient, alluding to the effects of the bar in driving their HI deficiency. Furthermore, for the secularly evolving barred ring galaxies, we identify rings of HI gas and recent star formation co-located at one or the other major resonances. Lastly, we measure the bar pattern speed for a sub-sample of our galaxies and find that the values range from 10 – 90 km/s per kpc, in good agreement with previous studies. Through this study, we show the importance of high-resolution HI studies of galaxies to better understand the implications of the bar on their gas content, star formation and consequently their evolution.

description: Given that Olympic Games held over the past decade each have cost USD 8.9 billion on average, the size and financial risks of the Games warrant study. The objectives of the Oxford Olympics study are to (1) establish the actual outturn costs of previous Olympic Games in a manner where cost can consistently be compared across Games; (2) establish cost overruns for previous Games, i.e., the degree to which final outturn costs reflect projected budgets at the bid stage, again in a way that allows comparison across Games; (3) test whether the Olympic Games Knowledge Management Program has reduced cost risk for the Games, and, finally, (4) benchmark cost and cost overrun for the Rio 2016 Olympics against previous Games. The main contribution of the Oxford study is to establish a phenomenology of cost and cost overrun at the Olympics, which allows consistent and systematic comparison across Games. This has not been done before. The study concludes that for a city and nation to decide to stage the Olympic Games is to decide to take on one of the most costly and financially most risky type of megaproject that exists, something that many cities and nations have learned to their peril.

description: We investigate the secular dynamics of three-body circumbinary systems under the effect of tides. We use the octupolar non-restricted approximation for the orbital interactions, general relativity corrections, the quadrupolar approximation for the spins, and the viscous linear model for tides. We derive the averaged equations of motion in a simplified vectorial formalism, which is suitable to model the long-term evolution of a wide variety of circumbinary systems in very eccentric and inclined orbits. In particular, this vectorial approach can be used to derive constraints for tidal migration, capture in Cassini states, and stellar spin-orbit misalignment. We show that circumbinary planets with initial arbitrary orbital inclination can become coplanar through a secular resonance between the precession of the orbit and the precession of the spin of one of the stars. We also show that circumbinary systems for which the pericenter of the inner orbit is initially in libration present chaotic motion for the spins and for the eccentricity of the outer orbit. Because our model is valid for the non-restricted problem, it can also be applied to any three-body hierarchical system such as star-planet-satellite systems and triple stellar systems.

description: In the context of a recoil damping analysis, we have designed and produced a membrane resonator equipped with a specific on-chip structure working as a "loss shield" for a circular membrane. In this device the vibrations of the membrane, with a quality factor of $10^7$, reach the limit set by the intrinsic dissipation in silicon nitride, for all the modes and regardless of the modal shape, also at low frequency. Guided by our theoretical model of the loss shield, we describe the design rationale of the device, which can be used as effective replacement of commercial membrane resonators in advanced optomechanical setups, also at cryogenic temperatures.

description:

I primi due decenni di questo secolo sono stati fortemente segnati da emergenze di ogni tipo: terrorismo, crisi finanziaria, disastri naturali, migrazioni, cambiamenti climatici, infine la pandemia di Covid,19. Come conseguenza della globalizzazione e della geopolitica globale, gli effetti di queste emergenze sono aumentati, richiedendo interventi a diversi livelli, anche sul piano giuridico. Allo stesso tempo, questa tensione globale è spesso messa in discussione da un approccio più locale alle questioni economiche e sociali. Il presente volume raccoglie gli atti del XXVI Convegno biennale dell'Associazione italiana di diritto comparato, dedicato alla indagine sulle conseguenze di tali emergenze per il diritto comparato. Può ragionevolmente discorrersi di un “diritto comparato delle emergenze”? Se le emergenze sono diventante caratteristica strutturale del nostro mondo globalizzato, dovranno i giuristi , tradizionalmente “inseguitori” dei fenomeni sociali , adattare il proprio approccio e adeguarsi al costante mutamento dei contesti giuridici?

description: Acoustic metamaterials have exhibited extraordinary possibilities to manipulate the propagation of the sound wave. Up to now, it is still a challenge to control the propagation of the sound wave in an arbitrary pathway of a network. Here, we design a symmetry breaking cross-shape metamaterial comprised of Helmholtz resonant cells and a square column. The square column is eccentrically arranged. The sound wave can quasi-lossless transmit through channels along the eccentric direction with compressed spaces, which breaks through the general transmission phenomenon. This exotic propagation characteristic is verified by the band structure and the mode of the metamaterial. Two acoustic networks, including a 2x2 network and an 8x8 network, show that the sound wave can quasi-lossless propagate along various arbitrary pathways, such as the Great Wall shape, the stair step shape and the serpentine shape, by reconfiguring eccentric directions. This ability opens up a new venue to route the sound wave and exhibits promising applications, from the acoustic communication to the energy transmission.

Persistent Contextual Values as Inter-Process Layers

description: Mobile applications today often fail to be context aware when they also need to be customizable and efficient at run-time. Context-oriented programming allows programmers to develop applications that are more context aware. Its central construct, the so-called layer, however, is not customizable. We propose to use novel persistent contextual values for mobile development. Persistent contextual values automatically adapt their value to the context. Furthermore they provide access without overhead. Key-value configuration files contain the specification of contextual values and the persisted contextual values themselves. By modifying the configuration files, the contextual values can easily be customized for every context. From the specification, we generate code to simplify development. Our implementation, called Elektra, permits development in several languages including C++ and Java. In a benchmark we compare layer activations between threads and between applications. In a case study involving a web-server on a mobile embedded device the performance overhead is minimal, even with many context switches.

description: The utilization of social media material in journalistic workflows is increasing, demanding automated methods for the identification of mis- and disinformation. Since textual contradiction across social media posts can be a signal of rumorousness, we seek to model how claims in Twitter posts are being textually contradicted. We identify two different contexts in which contradiction emerges: its broader form can be observed across independently posted tweets and its more specific form in threaded conversations. We define how the two scenarios differ in terms of central elements of argumentation: claims and conversation structure. We design and evaluate models for the two scenarios uniformly as 3-way Recognizing Textual Entailment tasks in order to represent claims and conversation structure implicitly in a generic inference model, while previous studies used explicit or no representation of these properties. To address noisy text, our classifiers use simple similarity features derived from the string and part-of-speech level. Corpus statistics reveal distribution differences for these features in contradictory as opposed to non-contradictory tweet relations, and the classifiers yield state of the art performance.

description: The Aurora family of kinases orchestrates chromosome segregation and cytokinesis during cell division, with precise spatiotemporal regulation of its catalytic activities by distinct protein scaffolds. Plasmodium spp., the causative agents of malaria, are unicellular eukaryotes with three unique and highly divergent aurora-related kinases (ARK1-3) that are essential for asexual cellular proliferation but lack most canonical scaffolds/activators. Here we investigate the role of ARK2 during sexual proliferation of the rodent malaria Plasmodium berghei, using a combination of super-resolution microscopy, mass spectrometry, and live-cell fluorescence imaging. We find that ARK2 is primarily located at spindle microtubules in the vicinity of kinetochores during both mitosis and meiosis. Interactomic and co-localisation studies reveal several putative ARK2-associated interactors including the microtubule-interacting protein EB1, together with MISFIT and Myosin-K, but no conserved eukaryotic scaffold proteins. Gene function studies indicate that ARK2 and EB1 are complementary in driving endomitotic division and thereby parasite transmission through the mosquito. This discovery underlines the flexibility of molecular networks to rewire and drive unconventional mechanisms of chromosome segregation in the malaria parasite.

description: It is known that learning of players who interact in a repeated game can be interpreted as an evolutionary process in a population of ideas. These analogies have so far mostly been established in deterministic models, and memory loss in learning has been seen to act similarly to mutation in evolution. We here propose a representation of reinforcement learning as a stochastic process in finite "populations of ideas". The resulting birth-death dynamics has absorbing states and allows for the extinction or fixation of ideas, marking a key difference to mutation-selection processes in finite populations. We characterize the outcome of evolution in populations of ideas for several classes of symmetric and asymmetric games.

intracluster light

description: Intracluster light is thought to originate from stars that were ripped away from their parent galaxies by gravitational tides and galaxy interactions during the build up of the cluster. The stars from such interactions will accumulate over time, so semi-analytic models suggest that the abundance of intracluster stars is negligible in young proto-clusters at 𝑧 ∼ 2 and grows to around a quarter of the stellar mass in the oldest, most mature clusters. In contrast to these theoretical expectations, we report on the detection of intracluster light within two proto- clusters at 𝑧 = 2 using deep HST images. We use the colour of the intracluster light to estimate its mass-to-light ratio in annuli around the brightest cluster galaxies (BCG), up to a radius of 100 kpc. We find that 54 ± 5% and 71 ± 3% of the stellar mass in these regions is located more than 10 kpc away from the BCGs in the two proto-clusters. This low concentration is similar to BCGs in lower redshift clusters, and distinct from other massive proto-cluster galaxies. This suggests that intracluster stars are already present within the core 100 kpc of proto-clusters. We compare these observations to the Hydrangea hydrodynamical galaxy cluster simulations and find that intracluster stars are predicted to be a generic feature of group-sized halos at 𝑧 = 2. These intracluster stars will gradually move further away from the BCG as the proto-cluster assembles into a cluster.

description: We have investigated the electronic states of planar quantum dots at the ZnO interface containing a few interacting electrons in an externally applied magnetic field. In these systems, the electron-electron interaction effects are expected to be much stronger than in traditional semiconductor quantum systems, such as in GaAs or InAs quantum dots. In order to highlight that stronger Coulomb effects in the ZnO quantum dots, we have compared the energy spectra and the magnetization in this system to those of the InAs quantum dots. We have found that in the ZnO quantum dots, the signatures of stronger Coulomb interaction manifests in an unique ground state that has very different properties than the corresponding ones in the InAs dot. Our results for the magnetization also exhibits behaviors never before observed in a quantum dot: We have found a stronger temperature dependence and other unexpected features, such as paramagnetic-like behavior at high temperatures for a quantum-dot helium.

description: According to the current state of the art, wear conditions of forging dies are assessed visually in the dismantled state, as there is no measuring procedure available for inline wear measurement of hot forging dies. This paper introduces a handling concept for automated loading and in-situ tool inspection for a hot forging process. An industrial robot with a quick-change system mounted on its endeffector is utilized to integrate both, a high-temperature gripper and an endoscopic 3D-measurement sensor. By adapting the measuring method of fringe projection to an endoscopic design, the measuring system can be navigated into the difficult-to-access geometry of the forge and take high-precision 3D-measurements of the forging die. The ambient air heated by the forming process creates an inhomogeneous refractive index field around the measuring system and the hot die, which deflects the light during the measurement and deteriorates the overall accuracy of the reconstructed point cloud. This can lead to strong deviations in the reconstructed point clouds and the functional geometries calculated from them. Using a compressed air actuator, the measuring system can be protected from the heat effects of the measuring object, as well as from dirt. Furthermore, the effect of the inhomogeneous refractive index field can be significantly reduced. With this approach the in-situ wear measurement at highly stressed regions using the example of the mandrel radius and the flash radius will be demonstrated. These functional elements are of particular interest, as the thermal stress is high and large material flow takes place. For the wear determination, the functional elements of the tool are examined in detail by fitting geometrical features into the reconstructed point clouds and determining the deviations from a reference geometry. In addition, the measurement data is validated with the aid of a commercially available state-of-the-art measurement system.

description: In order to avoid errors in engineering design that affect the later product life cycle, especially the manufacturing process, an analysis or evaluation has to be performed at the earliest possible stage. As this evaluation is very knowledge-intensive and often this knowledge is not directly available to the engineer, this paper presents an approach for a knowledge-based and collaborative engineering design agent. The technology based on multi-agent systems enables problem-solving support by an autonomous knowledge-based system which has its own beliefs, goals, and intentions. The presented approach is embedded in a CAD development environment and validated on an application example from engineering design.

description: SPIRITS---SPitzer InfraRed Intensive Transients Survey---is an ongoing survey of nearby galaxies searching for infrared (IR) transients with Spitzer/IRAC. We present the discovery and follow-up observations of one of our most luminous ($M_{[4.5]} = -17.1\pm0.4$ mag, Vega) and red ($[3.6] - [4.5] = 3.0 \pm 0.2$ mag) transients, SPIRITS 15c. The transient was detected in a dusty spiral arm of IC 2163 ($D\approx35.5$ Mpc). Pre-discovery ground-based imaging revealed an associated, shorter-duration transient in the optical and near-IR (NIR). NIR spectroscopy showed a broad ($\approx 8400$ km s$^{-1}$), double-peaked emission line of He I at $1.083 μ$m, indicating an explosive origin. The NIR spectrum of SPIRITS 15c is similar to that of the Type IIb SN 2011dh at a phase of $\approx 200$ days. Assuming $A_V = 2.2$ mag of extinction in SPIRITS 15c provides a good match between their optical light curves. The IR light curves and the extreme $[3.6]-[4.5]$ color cannot be explained using only a standard extinction law. Another luminous ($M_{4.5} = -16.1\pm0.4$ mag) event, SPIRITS 14buu, was serendipitously discovered in the same galaxy. The source displays an optical plateau lasting $\gtrsim 80$ days, and we suggest a scenario similar to the low-luminosity Type IIP SN 2005cs obscured by $A_V \approx 1.5$ mag. Other classes of IR-luminous transients can likely be ruled out in both cases. If both events are indeed SNe, this may suggest $\gtrsim 18\%$ of nearby core-collapse SNe are missed by currently operating optical surveys.

 Möglichkeiten, um sinnliche Erfahrungen zu sammeln und somit um sich selbst, die anderen und die Welt besser wahrzunehmen und zu verstehen. Ebenso verbringen Kinder zunehmend weniger Zeit in Naturräumen. Das Ziel dieser Arbeit ist deshalb ein kindgemässes und praxistaugliches, psychomotorisches Präventionskonzept zu erschaffen, welches zum Ziel hat die Wahrnehmung von Kindergartenkinder im Wald zu fördern. Das Präventionskonzept nimmt Bezug auf die Ziele des Lehrplan21 und strebt somit eine Vereinfachung der Zusammenarbeit zwischen Psychomotoriktherapeut*in und Kindergartenlehrpersonen an. Die Förderideen und die Gestaltung der Lektionen basieren auf Ergebnissen, welche aus theoretischer und empirischer Recherche erhoben wurden. Mittels dem qualitativen Leitfaden Interview wurden vier Fachpersonen aus beiden Berufsgruppen (Psychomotoriktherapeut*in und Kindergartenlehrperson) befragt, welche Berufserfahrungen mit Kindergartenkinder im Wald haben. Die gewonnen Förderideen wurden sortiert und in die Kompetenzstufen des Lehrplan21 im Bereich des entwicklungsorientierten Zugangs „Wahrnehmung“ eingeordnet. Aus den Haupterkenntnissen wurde ein Präventionskonzept erstellt, welches als konkrete Handlungsorientierung für die Praxis dient.
Elemental partitioning and isotopic fractionation of Zn between metal and silicate and geochemical estimation of the S content of the Earth's core

description: Zinc metal-silicate fractionation provides experimental access to the conditions of core formation and Zn has been used to estimate the S contents of the Earth's core and of the bulk Earth, assuming that they share similar volatility and that Zn was not partitioned into the Earth's core. We have conducted a suite of partitioning experiments to characterize Zn metal-silicate elemental and isotopic fractionation as a function of time, temperature, and composition. Experiments were conducted at temperatures from 1473-2273K, with run durations from 5-240 minutes for four starting materials. Chemical and isotopic equilibrium is achieved within 10 minutes. Zinc metal-silicate isotopic fractionation displays no resolvable dependence on temperature, composition, or oxygen fugacity. Thus, the Zn isotopic composition of silicate phases can be used as a proxy for bulk telluric bodies. Results from this study and literature data were used to parameterize Zn metal-silicate partitioning as a function of temperature, pressure, and redox state. Using this parameterization and viable formation conditions, we have estimated a range of Zn contents in the cores of iron meteorite parent bodies (i.e. iron meteorites) of ~0.1-150 ppm, in good agreement with natural observations. We have calculated the first geochemical estimates for the Zn contents of the Earth's core and of the bulk Earth, at 242 +/-107 ppm and 114 +/-34 ppm (respectively), that consider the slightly siderophile behavior of Zn and are therefore significantly higher than previous estimates. Assuming similar volatility for S and Zn, a chondritic S/Zn ratio, and considering our new estimates, we have calculated a geochemical upper bound for the S content of the Earth's core of 6.3 +/-1.9 wt%. This indicates that S may be a major contributor to the density deficit of the Earth's core or that the S/Zn ratio for the Earth is non-chondritic.

This report synthesises the key learnings and outcomes of PREP4BLUE’s experience of developing these resources. The aim of this report is not to summarise the content of the training that was delivered. Much of this is available as recorded resources HERE1 on the PREP4BLUE website and YouTube playlist. Rather, the report will outline good practices in running any type of citizen engagement training for Mission Ocean & Waters to capacitate the Mission Ocean & Waters Community of Practice to design their own impactful citizen engagement training programmes in line with the Mission’s targets.

In all, we have delivered 20 expert-led workshops, training 1020 participants from at least 44 countries with another 1809 YouTube views to date (2829 total). Workshop materials were disseminated to 800+ registered email addresses as well as online, through partner networks, and to a list of 150+ National Contact Points for the EU Missions, who were encouraged to circulate them to relevant project consortia and Research and Innovation institutions.

description: Ample evidence shows that post-encoding misinformation from others can induce false memories. Here, we demonstrate in two experiments a new, tacit form of socially generated false memories, resulting from interpersonal co-monitoring at encoding without communication of misinformation. Pairs of participants jointly viewed semantically coherent word lists, presented successively in blue, green, or red letters. Each individual was instructed to memorize words presented in one of the colors. One color remained unassigned (control condition). Participants (total N = 113) reported more false memories for non-presented words (lures) semantically related to partner-assigned than to control lists, although both list types were equally irrelevant to their own task. Notably, this effect also persisted for particularly rich memories. These findings show for the first time that social induction of false memories, even subjectively rich ones, does not necessarily require communication of deceptive information. This has important implications both theoretically and practically (e.g., in forensic contexts).

Stokes Phenomena in Discrete Painlevé II

description: We consider the asymptotic behaviour of the second discrete Painlevé equation in the limit as the independent variable becomes large. Using asymptotic power series, we find solutions that are asymptotically pole-free within some region of the complex plane. These asymptotic solutions exhibit Stokes phenomena, which is typically invisible to classical power series methods. We subsequently apply exponential asymptotic techniques to investigate such phenomena, and obtain mathematical descriptions of the rapid switching behaviour associated with Stokes curves. Through this analysis, we determine the regions of the complex plane in which the asymptotic approximations are valid, and find that the behaviour of these asymptotic solutions shares a number of features with the tronquée and tri-tronquée solutions of the second continuous Painlevé equation.

description: Der selektive Mutismus ist eine seltene Angststörung, welche sich in sozialen Situationen (z.B. Schule) durch Schweigen äussert und sich einschränkend auf die Partizipation und Teilhabe auswirkt.
 Diese Literaturarbeit untersucht, ob Kinder mit selektivem Mutismus von der Psychomotoriktherapie profitieren und inwiefern sie als Behandlungsmethode, neben weiteren Angeboten, geeignet ist. Die systematische Literaturrecherche wird nach dem Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses-Flussdiagramm durchgeführt. Die ursprünglichen 1'116 Suchergebnisse reduzieren sich auf 18 Studien und Textstellen, welche tabellarisch und narrativ zusammengefasst werden. Eine Studie erzielt signifikante Verbesserungen der verhaltensbezogenen Symptomatik durch die Förderung der Psychomotoriktherapie. Die kreativen, spielerischen und bewegungsorientierten Interventionen lösen mentale und körperliche Spannungen und führen zu einer günstigen Persönlichkeitsentwicklung. Die Psychomotoriktherapie reiht sich in die beträchtliche Anzahl der Therapieangebote des selektiven Mutismus ein. Neben evidenzbasierten und vorgefertigten Behandlungsverfahren, zeigt die Psychomotoriktherapie positive Ansätze in der Behandlung des selektiven Mutismus, da sie die Individualität des Betroffenen anspricht. Weiter wird die Sprache mit Bewegung kombiniert, was zu zur impliziten Verbesserung der Symptome führt. Diese Bachelorarbeit konstruiert erste Vorschläge für die psychomotorische Behandlung des selektiven Mutismus, zeigt deren Relevanz auf und gibt mögliche Ausblicke zur weiteren Vertiefung oder Evidenzbasierung von psychomotorischen Interventionen.

description: The recent discovery of a population of eccentric (e ~ 0.1) millisecond pulsar (MSP) binaries with low-mass white dwarf companions in the Galactic field represents a challenge to evolutionary models that explain MSP formation as recycling: all such models predict that the orbits become highly circularised during a long period of accretion. The members of this new population exhibit remarkably similar properties (orbital periods, eccentricities, companion masses, spin periods) and several models have been put forward that suggest a common formation channel. In this work we present the results of an extensive timing campaign focusing on one member of this new population, PSR J1946+3417. Through measurement of the both the advance of periastron and Shapiro delay for this system, we determine the mass of the pulsar, companion and the inclination of the orbit to be 1.828(22) Msun, 0.2656(19) Msun and 76.4(6) , under the assumption that general relativity is the true description of gravity. Notably, this is the third highest mass measured for any pulsar. Using these masses and the astrometric properties of PSR J1946+3417 we examine three proposed formation channels for eccentric MSP binaries. While our results are consistent with eccentricity growth driven by a circumbinary disk or neutron star to strange star phase transition, we rule out rotationally delayed accretion-induced collapse as the mechanism responsible for the configuration of the PSR J1946+3417 system.

The Neonatal Patient Transport System (NPTS) collaborative research team seeks to measure and mitigate vibrations experienced by neonatal patients during ground and air transport. A custom test apparatus was designed for use with an electrodynamic shaker to investigate the effectiveness of transport mattresses and harnesses used inside the isolette. The apparatus couples the shaker with a representative transport isolette, which is the portion of the NPTS in which the infant travels. The design allows the isolette to be shaken along any principle axis while maintaining the vertical orientation of the isolette. Linear guides without rolling elements were used to constrain motion to the preferred excitation axis. Preliminary results using a prototype apparatus revealed that the vertical axis requires a guided carriage system to generate purely linear excitation, rather directly affixing the isolette to the shaker head. Once fully operational, the apparatus will enable a parametric study of the vibration performance of transport mattresses and harnesses.
