Constraining dark energy using real and mock galaxy surveys
No full textIn this thesis, we study how dark energy may be constrained by measurements of large-scale clustering in future galaxy surveys, and through the imprint of a time-varying large-scale potential on the CMB (the integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect).
We use semi-analytical galaxy formation models implemented in N-body simulations to build mock galaxy catalogues which are well suited for use in conjunction with large photometric surveys. Using mock catalogues, we predict that Pan-STARRS1 will be able to detect 10^8 galaxies in all its 5 photometric bands. We investigate the photo-z performance of the mock survey, which is a crucial factor when measuring large-scale structure statistics from a survey of this kind. We find using Pan-STARRS1 alone, photo-z accuracy of dz/(1+z) ~ 0.06 is achievable. The accuracy can be improved by combining near infrared photometry or by choosing a red galaxy sample. We implemented the photo-z errors to investigate their influence on the detectability of dark energy in the survey via the baryonic acoustic oscillations.
We explore the challenges of using the ISW effect as a constraint on dark energy. In particular, we investigate the effect of non-linear gravitational evolution, using N-body simulations. We have quantified the non-linear contribution to the ISW measurements in terms of both its power spectrum and its cross-correlation with large-scale structure. We have discovered that the non-linear ISW effect is more important relative to the linear ISW effect at larger scales at higher redshifts. This draws attention to the need to accurately model the non-linear effect when using galaxy samples to do ISW tomography at high redshifts. We have developed a ray-tracing method for constructing full sky maps of the ISW effect including its non-linear aspect. Using these maps, we have developed a complete picture of the non-linear ISW effect in void and cluster regions. We quantify the total contribution of the linear and non-linear ISW effects to reported abnormal CMB cold spots and discuss possible confusion with the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Differs from Cibiniulus phlepsii by numerous aspects in both habitus and posterior gonopods (see Table 1), e.g., absence of ocelli and absence of a lateral lamella on the posterior gonopods. Differs from other blind blaniulids occurring in Central Europe by the habitus and setation of vulva: without setation in C. slovacus, but setose in B. guttulatus, A. pallidus and B. tenuis (cf. Broelemann 1923; Blower 1985). Description. Holotype adult male: L 12.30 mm, H 0.48 mm, 48 podous + 2 apodous rings + telson. Paratype adult male: L 9.20 mm, H 0.48 mm, 41 podous + 2 apodous rings + telson. Paratype females up to L 18.5 mm, H 0.58 mm, 38–56 podous + 2 apodous rings + telson. Juvenile male with 33 podous + 3 apodous ring + telson. Colour. Depigmented, whitish to pale yellow. Head. Without ocelli. Antennae quite long, length 203 % of H in paratype male, 188 % of H in female. Relative lengths of antennomeres 1–8 (8 = apical sensilla): 7 / 20 / 18 / 14 / 16 / 14 / 7 / 4 % in paratype male, 7 / 20 / 18 / 15 / 17 / 13 / 7 / 3 % in female. In males, mandibles with usual parrot-bill-like modification of cardo and stipes. Midbody rings with ca. 12–14 setae on posterior margin, length of setae ca. 15–17 % of H in both sexes. Latero-ventral sides of rings with longitudinal striations which extend into prozonites. Legs: length 95 % of H in paratype male, 85 % of H in female. Relative lengths of podomeres from coxa to claw 17 / 14 / 12 / 8 / 13 / 23 / 13 % in paratype male, 20 / 14 / 14 / 12 / 9 / 20 / 11 % in female; claw length/height 4.5 in paratype male and 4 in female. Lanceolate setae present on femur (1), postfemur (1) and tibia (2) in males. First pair of male legs (Figs 8 and 9) highly modified, incrassate. A narrow triangular area (tr) between prefemur and femur. Femur with characteristic longitudinal striations (fs). Tibia (ti) very robust, with two mesal apophyses/modified setae (a), laterally with anterior setiferous hump (sh). Tarsus (ta) in the form of a cap on top of tibia, carrying a rudimentary claw (cl). Second pair of male legs (Fig. 4) with two ventral, lanceolate setae (ls) on femur, postfemur and tibia in holotype male. Penis (Fig. 4, p) simple, with rounded apex. Ventral margin of pleurotergite 7 in males without a horizontal flange. Anterior gonopods (Figs 1–3) with separated slender coxal processes (cp) which are somewhat wider at the base, narrowing at the border between ⅓ and ⅔ of the length, and then gradually widening towards a rounded apex. A postero-mesal flange (f) extending almost the entire length of coxal process, with a thickening at the border between ⅓ and ⅔ of the length. Flange almost rectilinear in lateral view. Telopodites (t) rudimentary, less than ¼ the length of coxal processes, with 1 + 2 setae in holotype male, without setae in paratype male. Posterior gonopods (Figs 5 –7, 10 and 11) with prolonged sternum (s). Apical half with wide and thin leafshaped lamella (ll) divided into a dorsal, somewhat rounded lobe (dl), and a ventral, acuminate lobe (vl). Leafshaped lamella with numerous striations (st) which at first glance resemble setae. Lateral lamella completely absent. On the SEM images, the apical half of the posterior gonopods is distorted, probably due to the air-drying method employed. Second pair of female legs without any peculiarities. Vulvae (Fig. 12) subspherical, operculum and bursa of about equal length, both without setae; receptaculum seminis (rs) single, ellipsoid. Vulval invaginations reaching back to ring five. Note on habitat and coexisting species. The new Cibiniulus species was found in karstic caves, with the elevation of the entrances ranging from 255 to 800 m a.s.l. Some of the caves (Jazvínska, Dobrotínska, Kolónia II) are quite short (25-44 m), the last one (Gemersko-teplická Cave) has long a narrow corridor (510 m) with an underground stream. The cave floors are horizontal except for the cave Kolónia II (- 25 m). Specimens were collected on decaying wood or in pitfall traps (100 ml plastic bottles with a mixture of beer and ethyleneglycole with cheese or salami under the opening; the traps were placed deep in the debris). All records are from the inner part of the caves (deeper than 20 m). All of the caves have a well preserved environment and are not open to the public. There were no other obligate cavernicolous millipedes co-occurring with C. slovacus sp. n., but only common species like Polydesmus denticulatus C. L. Koch, 1847 (Jazvínska, Dobrotínska caves) or the eutroglophilous Trachysphaera costata (Waga, 1857) in the cave Kolónia II. Note on cave adaptations. The depigmented body, the absence of ocelli and the somewhat elongated antennae of the new species are characters all shared with several other soil-dwelling blaniulids and cannot be regarded as troglomorphic traits. Thus, C. slovacus sp. n. should probably be classified as a troglophilic species. Distribution. Known only from several caves in Slovakia (Fig. 43, green circles).Published as part of Antić, Dragan Ž., Mock, Andrej & Enghoff, Henrik, 2015, Two new species of the millipede family Blaniulidae (Diplopoda, Julida) from caves in central and southeastern Europe, pp. 523-540 in Zootaxa 3985 (4) on pages 524-529, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3985.4.3, http://zenodo.org/record/23535
Enhancing digital design data availability in the aerospace industry
No full textOrganised by: Cranfield UniversityThis paper presents the development of a framework to enhance the current utilisation of digital design data within the aerospace engineering discipline. The quality and timeliness of product design and development decisions depends on the data availability. Therefore, there is a need for enhancing the digital data availability in order to make better decisions in a shorter time, reducing the product lead time. This research project, which conduced in collaboration between Airbus in the UK and Cranfield University, has identified opportunities to exploit the access and sharing of digital data, specifically within the weight engineers and the stress population through the use of Digital Mock-Up colouring and lightweight visualization.Mori Seiki – The Machine Tool Companyhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.cirpj.2010.06.00
The clustering of galaxies in the SDSS-III DR9 Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: constraints on primordial non-Gaussianity
No full text12 pages, 7 figuresWe analyze the density field of 264,283 galaxies observed by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS)-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) and included in the SDSS data release nine (DR9). In total, the SDSS DR9 BOSS data includes spectroscopic redshifts for over 400,000 galaxies spread over a footprint of more than 3,000 deg^2. We measure the power spectrum of these galaxies with redshifts 0.43 0), is 99.5%. After quantifying and correcting for the systematic bias and including the added uncertainty, we find -92 0) = 91.0%. A more conservative approach assumes that we have only learned the k-dependence of the systematic bias and allows any amplitude for the systematic correction; we find that the systematic effect is not fully degenerate with that of f_NL,local, and we determine that -168 0) = 68%. This analysis demonstrates the importance of accounting for the impact of Galactic foregrounds on f_NL,local measurements. We outline the methods that account for these systematic biases and uncertainties. We expect our methods to yield robust constraints on f_NL,local for both our own and future large-scale-structure investigations
