Structured outflow from a dynamo active accretion disc
We present an axisymmetric numerical model of a dynamo active accretion disc.
If the dynamo-generated magnetic field in the disc is sufficiently strong
(close to equipartition with thermal energy), a fast magneto-centrifugally
driven outflow develops within a conical shell near the rotation axis, together
with a slower pressure driven outflow from the outer parts of the disc as well
as around the axis. Our results show that a dynamo active accretion disc can
contribute to driving an outflow even without any external magnetic field. The
fast outflow in the conical shell is confined by the azimuthal field which is
produced by the dynamo in the disc and advected to the disc corona. This part
of the outflow has high angular momentum and is cooler and less dense than its
surroundings. The conical shell's half-opening angle is typically about 30
degrees near the disc and decreases slightly with height. The slow outflow is
hotter and denser.Comment: 20 pages, 25 figures, accepted for publication in A&
Is nonhelical hydromagnetic turbulence peaked at small scales?
Nonhelical hydromagnetic turbulence without an imposed magnetic field is
considered in the case where the magnetic Prandtl number is unity. The magnetic
field is entirely due to dynamo action. The magnetic energy spectrum peaks at a
wavenumber of about 5 times the minimum wavenumber in the domain, and not at
the resistive scale, as has previously been argued. Throughout the inertial
range the spectral magnetic energy exceeds the kinetic energy by a factor of
about 2.5, and both spectra are approximately parallel. At first glance, the
total energy spectrum seems to be close to k^{-3/2}, but there is a strong
bottleneck effect and it is suggested that the asymptotic spectrum is k^{-5/3}.
This is supported by the value of the second order structure function exponent
that is found to be \zeta_2=0.70, suggesting a k^{-1.70} spectrum.Comment: 6 pages, 6 figure
Outflows from dynamo-active protostellar accretion discs
An axisymmetric model of a cool, dynamo-active accretion disc is applied to
protostellar discs. Thermally and magnetically driven outflows develop that are
not collimated within 0.1 AU. In the presence of a central magnetic field from
the protostar, accretion onto the protostar is highly episodic, which is in
agreement with earlier work.Comment: 8 pages, 9 figures, to be published in: Magnetic fields and star

Magnetic field generation in fully convective rotating spheres
Magnetohydrodynamic simulations of fully convective, rotating spheres with
volume heating near the center and cooling at the surface are presented. The
dynamo-generated magnetic field saturates at equipartition field strength near
the surface. In the interior, the field is dominated by small-scale structures,
but outside the sphere by the global scale. Azimuthal averages of the field
reveal a large-scale field of smaller amplitude also inside the star. The
internal angular velocity shows some tendency to be constant along cylinders
and is ``anti-solar'' (fastest at the poles and slowest at the equator).Comment: 12 pages, 11 figures, 2 tables, to appear in the 10 Feb issue of Ap
Digital media in intergenerational communication: Status quo and future scenarios for the grandparent-grandchild relationship
Communication technologies play an important role in maintaining the grandparent-grandchild (GP-GC) relationship. Based on Media Richness Theory, this study investigates the frequency of use (RQ1) and perceived quality (RQ2) of established media as well as the potential use of selected innovative media (RQ3) in GP-GC relationships with a particular focus on digital media. A cross-sectional online survey and vignette experiment were conducted in February 2021 among N = 286 university students in Germany (mean age 23 years, 57% female) who reported on the direct and mediated communication with their grandparents. In addition to face-to-face interactions, non-digital and digital established media (such as telephone, texting, video conferencing) and innovative digital media, namely augmented reality (AR)-based and social robot-based communication technologies, were covered. Face-to-face and phone communication occurred most frequently in GP-GC relationships: 85% of participants reported them taking place at least a few times per year (RQ1). Non-digital established media were associated with higher perceived communication quality than digital established media (RQ2). Innovative digital media received less favorable quality evaluations than established media. Participants expressed doubts regarding the technology competence of their grandparents, but still met innovative media with high expectations regarding improved communication quality (RQ3). Richer media, such as video conferencing or AR, do not automatically lead to better perceived communication quality, while leaner media, such as letters or text messages, can provide rich communication experiences. More research is needed to fully understand and systematically improve the utility, usability, and joy of use of different digital communication technologies employed in GP-GC relationships
Can communication technologies reduce loneliness and social isolation in older people?: a scoping review of reviews
Background: Loneliness and social isolation in older age are considered major public health concerns and research on technology-based solutions is growing rapidly. This scoping review of reviews aims to summarize the communication technologies (CTs) (review question RQ1), theoretical frameworks (RQ2), study designs (RQ3), and positive effects of technology use (RQ4) present in the research field. Methods: A comprehensive multi-disciplinary, multi-database literature search was conducted. Identified reviews were analyzed according to the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) framework. A total of N = 28 research reviews that cover 248 primary studies spanning 50 years were included. Results: The majority of the included reviews addressed general internet and computer use (82% each) (RQ1). Of the 28 reviews, only one (4%) worked with a theoretical framework (RQ2) and 26 (93%) covered primary studies with quantitative-experimental designs (RQ3). The positive effects of technology use were shown in 55% of the outcome measures for loneliness and 44% of the outcome measures for social isolation (RQ4). Conclusion: While research reviews show that CTs can reduce loneliness and social isolation in older people, causal evidence is limited and insights on innovative technologies such as augmented reality systems are scarce
Bottleneck effect in three-dimensional turbulence simulations
At numerical resolutions around and above, three-dimensional energy
spectra from turbulence simulations begin to show noticeably shallower spectra
than near the dissipation wavenumber (`bottleneck effect'). This
effect is shown to be significantly weaker in one-dimensional spectra such as
those obtained in wind tunnel turbulence. The difference can be understood in
terms of the transformation between one-dimensional and three-dimensional
energy spectra under the assumption that the turbulent velocity field is
isotropic. Transversal and longitudinal energy spectra are similar and can both
accurately be computed from the full three-dimensional spectra. Second-order
structure functions are less susceptible to the bottleneck effect and may be
better suited for inferring the scaling exponent from numerical simulation
data.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figure
