Economics of Esports
2019
In this paper, esports market development is exhibited and analyzed through various data sources and literature review. Additionally, economic concepts are applied to the esports environment. Demand characteristics of this emerging market are analyzed by applying the concept of competitive balance as commonly used in economics of sport scrutiny. The elite esports demand is proxied by gathering data on total prize money in the elite esports tournaments and explaining the esports demand by testing various factors measuring the competitive market properties. The most commonly used measurement in economics of sport for measuring withinseason competitive balance is calculated as the actual stand…
ODS tērauda izejmateriālu lokālās struktūras analīze izmantojot Ti un Y K-malas rentgenabsorbcijas spektroskopiju
2017
Šajā darbā tika izmantota rentgenstaru absorbcijas spektru analīze oksīdu stiprinātam tēraudam (ODS), kas ir perspektīvs materiāls dažādās jomās, piemēram, saules elektrostacijās, reaktīvos dzinējos, ķīmiskos reaktoros un kodolreaktoros, jo materiālam piemīt tādas īpašības kā laba siltumvadītspēja un zema termiskās izplešanās apvienojumā ar augstu temperatūras izturību, korozijas un radiācijas pretestību. Darbā tiek iegūta informācija par ar dažādām metodēm izgatavotu ODS tēraudu lokālās atomārās struktūras izmaiņu ap itrija (Y) un titāna (Ti) atomiem, analizējot Y un Ti absorbcijas K-malu.
W pułapce samotności : pracownik socjalny wobec wykluczenia samotnych seniorów z lokalnej przestrzeni społecznej
2017
Pracownicy socjalni w swojej codziennej pracy spotykają ludzi, którzy nie radzą sobie sami z otaczającą ich rzeczywistością. Starają się więc pomóc im w samodzielnym pokonywaniu napotkanych trudności. Czynią to na różne sposoby przy zastosowaniu metod pracy socjalnej, z których najczęściej stosowane są metody pracy z indywidualnym przypadkiem i grupą (rodziną). Najrzadziej wykorzystują w realizacji powierzonych im zadań metodę organizowania środowiska. Jedną z przyczyn wykluczenia społecznego jednostki jest brak trafnej diagnozy powodów, dla których jednostki izolują się od funkcjonujących w ich przestrzeni społecznej innych ludzi. Zamykają się w swoich domach, izolują od życia w szerszych …
Discovery of slow X-ray pulsations in the high-mass X-ray binary 4U 2206+54
2008
Context. The source 4U 2206+54 is one of the most enigmatic high-mass X-ray binaries. In spite of intensive searches, X-ray pul- sations have not been detected in the time range 10−3–103 s. A cyclotron line at ∼30 keV has been suggested by various authors but never detected with significance. The stellar wind of the optical companion is abnormally slow. The orbital period, initially reported to be 9.6 days, disappeared and a new periodicity of 19.25 days emerged. Aims. The main objective of our RXTE monitoring of 4U 2206+54 is to study the X-ray orbital variability of the spectral and timing parameters. The new long and uninterrupted RXTE observations allow us to search for long (∼1 h) puls…
8.4GHz VLBI observations of SN2004et in NGC6946
2007
We report on 8.4GHz Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) observations of the type II-P supernova SN2004et in the spiral galaxy NGC 6946, made on 20 February 2005 (151 days after explosion). The Very Large Array (VLA) flux density was 1.23$\pm$0.07 mJy, corresponding to an isotropic luminosity at 8.4GHz of (4.45$\pm$0.3)$\times10^{25}$ erg s$^{-1}$ Hz$^{-1}$ and a brightness temperature of (1.3$\pm$0.3)$\times10^{8}$ K. We also provide an improved source position, accurate to about 0.5 mas in each coordinate. The VLBI image shows a clear asymmetry. From model fitting of the size of the radio emission, we estimate a minimum expansion velocity of 15,700$\pm$2,000 km s$^{-1}$. This velocity…
The VST Photometric Hα Survey of the Southern Galactic Plane and Bulge (VPHAS+)
2014
The VST Photometric Halpha Survey of the Southern Galactic Plane and Bulge (VPHAS+) is surveying the southern Milky Way in u, g, r, i and Halpha at 1 arcsec angular resolution. Its footprint spans the Galactic latitude range -5 < b < +5 at all longitudes south of the celestial equator. Extensions around the Galactic Centre to Galactic latitudes +/-10 bring in much of the Galactic Bulge. This ESO public survey, begun on 28th December 2011, reaches down to 20th magnitude (10-sigma) and will provide single-epoch digital optical photometry for around 300 million stars. The observing strategy and data pipelining is described, and an appraisal of the segmented narrowband Halpha filter in us…

GW170817: Observation of Gravitational Waves from a Binary Neutron Star Inspiral
2017
On August 17, 2017 at 12-41:04 UTC the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo gravitational-wave detectors made their first observation of a binary neutron star inspiral. The signal, GW170817, was detected with a combined signal-to-noise ratio of 32.4 and a false-alarm-rate estimate of less than one per 8.0×104 years. We infer the component masses of the binary to be between 0.86 and 2.26 M, in agreement with masses of known neutron stars. Restricting the component spins to the range inferred in binary neutron stars, we find the component masses to be in the range 1.17-1.60 M, with the total mass of the system 2.74-0.01+0.04M. The source was localized within a sky region of 28 deg2 (90% probabili…
