    Simultaneous determination of the cosmic birefringence and miscalibrated polarization angles II: Including cross-frequency spectra

    No full text
    We develop a strategy to determine the cosmic birefringence and miscalibrated polarization angles simultaneously using the observed EB polarization power spectra of the cosmic microwave background and the Galactic foreground emission. We extend the methodology of Y. Minami et al. (Prog. Theor. Exp. Phys. 2019, 083E02, 2019), which was developed for auto-frequency power spectra, by including cross-frequency spectra. By fitting one global birefringence angle and independent miscalibration angles at different frequency bands, we determine both angles with significantly smaller uncertainties (by more than a factor of two) compared to the auto spectra

    Feminism, Power, & Nuclear Weapons : An Eye on the P5

    No full text
    This project is a collection of articles from five extraordinary civil society thinkers on feminism and nuclear policy to address this precise question. It is our hope that this work inspires a thoughtful interrogation of the status quo in both personal and professional capacities, and encourages us all to think more creatively and holistically about nuclear policy

    Topographic data generated from oblique aerial photos in Minami-Aso, Kumamoto, Japan just after the April 2016 earthquake

    Numerous landslides occurred when the Mw 7.0 earthquake hit Kumamoto area in western Japan on April 16, 2016. The most distinct landslide was observed in Minami-Aso Village, where a bridge was destroyed by the landslide. This datasets comprise 3-dimensional topographic models of the landslide at Minami-Aso, produced just after the source data (oblique aerial photographs) became available online. The first version is the result of prompt data processing of those original photographs using the technique of Structure-from-Motion Multi-View Stereo (SfM-MVS) photogrammetry. - data type: point cloud (LAZ), digital elevation model (DEM) (GeoTIFF), hillshade image (GeoTIFF), orthorectified image (GeoTIFF) - projection: Japan Plane Rectangle CS II (datum: JGD 2000

    Spatially-localized time dependent solutions including turbulence and their interactions in 2D Kolmogorov flow

    No full text
    In 2D Kolmogorov flow in small aspect ratio domains, spatially-localized solutions such as kink, traveling or time-dependent kink-antikink pars coexist. However, the conservation of the flow rate in the y direction strongly restrict combination of localized solutions and their positioning. We find that by adding a homogeneous flow U y their positioning is controlled and each of localized solutions including a spatially-localized chaos is isolated. Numerical results suggest that these isolated solutions can be elements constructing a whole flow

    Characteristics of overlap region in high-Reynolds number turbulent channel flow

    Direct numerical simulation of the fully developed turbulent channel flows have been carried out at the Reynolds number based on the friction velocity and the channel half width, 2000, 4000 and 8000. A hybrid 10th order accurate finite difference scheme in the stream and spanwise directions, and a second-order scheme in the wall-normal direction is adapted as the spatial discretization method. We observed the plateau profiles in the indicator function corresponded to the von Karman constant. Furthermore, second peak of streamwise pre-multiplied spectra were appeared in the same wall normal height, 300 < y+ < 600, in case of Re = 4000. Nevertheless, the effects of the lager than the channel half height scale on the streamwise turbulent intensity are fixed contributions without dependence on Reynolds number. These results suggested that the new streamwise vortexes are formed between buffer layer and outer layer with increasing of Reynolds number

    The gnathiid isopod Elaphognathia kikuchii from a Whitesaddle goatfish Parupeneus ciliatus, collected off Bonotsu, Minami Satsuma, Kagoshima

    A larva of Elaphognathia kikuchii (Nunomura, 1992) (Crustacea; Isopoda; Gnathiidae) was found from gill of a Whitesaddle goatfish Parupeneus ciliatus (Lacepède, 1802) caught off Bonotsu (100–115 m depth), Minami Satsuma, Kagoshima, southern Japan. This isopod was kept in an incubator at 16℃, and 58 days later it molted and metamorphosed into an adult male. It could be identified by the morphology of the adult males. This paper is the first information of the host fish in E. kikuchii.journal articl

    La 'circunstancia' de 'Herederos y Pretendientes

    No full text
    In June 2010, the Ortega y Gasset Foundation hosted a Conference about the “Spanish Philosophical Transition” in order to debate the book of Francisco Vázquez, La filosofía española. Herederos y Pretendientes. Una lectura sociológica (1963-1990), recently published. This paper is the author’s response to criticism raised in the Conference and to published reviews received by this book. First, the author summarized the argument of Herederos y pretendientes. Secondly he responds and takes into account the most important objections against the book’s hypothesis and methodology. Finally the author evaluates the favorable judgments received by the book and suggests the limits of the historian’s task.Fundación Ortega y Gasset-Marañó
