AKARI and Spinning Dust: A look at microwave dust emission via the Infrared Aaron C. Bell's Master's Course Thesis ABSTRACT: Rapidly spinning dust particles having a permanent electric dipole moment have been shown to be a likely carrier of the anomalous microwave emission (AME), a continuous excess of microwave flux in the 10 to 90 GHz range. Small grains, possibly polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), are a leading suspect. In the absence of a definitive answer on the presence of PAHs or their role as an AME carrier, some predictions have been made as to the implications of spinning PAH emission. Due to the overlap between the CMB and the galactic foreground, this topic is requiring cosmologists to consider the ISM with more care. ISM astronomers are also needing to consider the contribution of cosmological radiation to large-scale dust investigations. We present data from AKARI/Infrared Camera (IRC) due to the effective PAH band coverage of its 9 micron survey to investigate their role within the 98 AME candidate regions identified by Planck Collaboration et al. (2014). We supplement AKARI data with the four Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) all-sky maps and complement with the Planck High Frequency Instrument (HFI) bands at 857 and 545 GHz to constrain the full dust thermal spectral energy distribution (SED). We sample the average spectral energy distributions (SEDs) all 98 regions. We utilize all 7 AKARI photometric bands, as well as the 4 IRAS bands and 2 HFI. We carry out a modified blackbody fitting, and estimate the optical depth of thermal dust at 250 micron, and compare this to AME parameters. We also show plots of each band's average intensity for all 98 regions vs. AME parameters. We find a positive trend between the optical depth and AME. In the band-by-band comparison the AKARI 9 micron intensity shows a weaker trend with AME. In general, the MIR correlates less strongly with AME than the FIR. The optical depth vs. AME trend improves slightly when looking only at significant AME regions. Scaling the IR intensities by the ISRF strength G0 does not improve the correlations. A slightly positive trend found previously among 10 AME regions vs. AME significance is revisited, using the larger sample of 98. However the trend does not hold up to the full data set. We cannot offer strong support of a spinning dust model. The results highlight the need for full dust SED modelling, and for a better understanding of the role that magnetic dipole emission from dust grains could play in producing the AME.

Template for honours theses

Contains the thesis template using memoir class, which is mainly based on book class but permits better control of chapter styles for example. This template is an adaptation and modification of Oscar's. Memoir is a flexible class for typesetting poetry, fiction, non-fiction and mathematical works as books, reports, articles or manuscripts. UoB guidelines: The dissertation must be printed on A4 white paper. Paper up to A3 may be used for maps, plans, diagrams and illustrative material. Pages (apart from the preliminary pages) should normally be double-sided. Memoir class loads useful packages by default (see manual).

Kvantno Izračunavanje(Quantum Computing) je, kao grana Prirodnog Izračunavanje(Natural Computing), jedna od najmlađih znanosti Teorijske Kompjuterske Nauke koja koristi stanje superpozicije kvantnog sistema i preplitanje(entanglement) kao gradivne elemente izračunljivosti. Zašto Kvantno Izračunavanje? Naime, već na kraju ovog rada u kome ćemo dati generalni pregled osnova Kvantnog Izračunavanja, ćemo uvidjeti velike prednosti spram klasičnog izračunavanja. Rad je struktuiran tako da uvede čitaoca u osnove ove teorije koja se u mnogome razlikuje od ostalih metoda izračunavanja. Tako ćemo najprije uvesti gradivni element informacije u Kvantom Izračunavanju(Kvantni bit), zatim ćemo se upoznati sa jednim od načina manipulacije informacije na kvantom nivou(Kvantna kola). Nakon toga prelazimo na dva primjera primjene kvantih kola pri formiranju kvantnih algoritama i na kraju ćemo navesti neke prednosti i zanimljivosti Kvantnog Izračunavanja. Čitalac će na kraju imati generalni uvid u ovu znanost i poznavati njene osnovne osobine.

upnmthesis is a LaTeX class for authoring theses that fulfill formatting specifications required by Universiti Pertahanan Nasional Malaysia (UPNM). This class and template was commissioned by the university's Centre of Graduate Studies in April, 2016, for both undergraduate and postgraduate theses. A sample file sample-thesis.tex, as well as relevant sample chapters, are included in the package. upnmthesis is available as a template on Overleaf which I recommend you modify for your own thesis write-up. (You can rename it, but I'll stick with the file name sample-thesis.tex throughout this guide.) The latest version of this template can also be downloaded from my website.

The LHC (Large Hadron Collider) will have a long shut down in the years of 2019 and 2020, referred to as LS2. During this stop the LHC injector complex will be upgraded to increase the luminosities, which will be the first step of the high luminosity LHC program (which will be realized during LS3 that takes place in 2024-2026). The LHCb experiment, whose main purpose is to study the CP-violation, will during this long stop be upgraded in order to withstand a higher radiation dose, and to be able to read out the detector at a rate of 40MHz,compared to 1MHz at present. This change will improve the trigger efficiency significantly. One of the LHCb sub-detectors the Trigger Tracker (TT), will be replaced by a new sub-detector called UT. This report presents the early stage design (preparation for mock-up building) of the box that will be isolating the new UT detector from the surroundings and to ensure optimal detector operation. Methods to fulfill requirements such as light and gas tightness, Faraday-cage behavior and condensation free temperatures, without breaking the fragile beryllium beam pipe, are established.
