description: Using the Yguazu-a three-dimensional hydrodynamic code, we have computed a set of numerical simulations of heavy, supersonic, radiatively cooling jets including variabilities in both the ejection direction (precession) and the jet velocity (intermittence). In order to investigate the effects of jet rotation on the shape of the line profiles, we also introduce an initial toroidal rotation velocity profile, in agreement with some recent observational evidence found in jets from T Tauri stars which seems to support the presence of a rotation velocity pattern inside the jet beam, near the jet production region. Since the Yguazu-a code includes an atomic/ionic network, we are able to compute the emission coefficients for several emission lines, and we generate line profiles for the H, [O I]6300, [S II]6716 and [N II]6548 lines. Using initial parameters that are suitable for the DG Tau microjet, we show that the computed radial velocity shift for the medium-velocity component of the line profile as a function of distance from the jet axis is strikingly similar for rotating and non-rotating jet models. These findings lead us to put forward some caveats on the interpretation of the observed radial velocity distribution from a few outflows from young stellar objects, and we claim that these data should not be directly used as a doubtless confirmation of the magnetocentrifugal wind acceleration models.

description: Landau-Fermi liquid theory is conventionally believed to hold whenever the interacting single-particle density of states develops a $δ$-like component at the Fermi surface, which is associated with quasiparticles. Here we show that a microscopic justification can be actually achieved under more general circumstances, even in case coherent quasiparticles are totally missing and the interacting single-particle density of states vanishes at the chemical potential as consequence of a pole singularity in the self-energy.

description: Using the canonical Hamilton-Jacobi approach we study the Lynden-Bell concept of bar formation based on the idea of orbital trapping parallel to the long or short axes of the oval potential distortion. The concept considered a single parameter - a sign of the derivative of the precession rate over angular momentum, determining the orientation of the trapped orbits. We derived a perturbation Hamiltonian which includes two more parameters characterising the background disc and the perturbation, that are just as important as the earlier known one. This allows us to link the concept with the matrix approach in linear perturbation theory, the theory of weak bars, and explain some features of the nonlinear secular evolution observed in N-body simulations.

Megascopic Quantum Phenomena. A Critical Study of Physical Interpretations
Creators: name: Svrček, Michal
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: General Physics (physics.gen-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A megascopic revalidation is offered providing responses and resolutions of current inconsistencies and existing contradictions in present-day quantum theory. As the core of this study we present an independent proof of the Goldstone theorem for a quantum field formulation of molecules and solids. Along with phonons two types of new quasiparticles appear: rotons and translons. In full analogy with Lorentz covariance, combining space and time coordinates, a new covariance is necessary, binding together the internal and external degrees of freedom, without explicitly separating the centre-of-mass, which normally applies in both classical and quantum formulations. The generally accepted view regarding the lack of a simple correspondence between the Goldstone modes and broken symmetries, has significant consequences: an ambiguous BCS theory as well as a subsequent Higgs mechanism. The application of the archetype of the classical spontaneous symmetry breaking, i.e. the Mexican hat, as compared to standard quantum relations, i.e. the Jahn-Teller effect, superconductivity or the Higgs mechanism, becomes a disparity. In short, symmetry broken states have a microscopic causal origin, but transitions between them have a teleological component. The different treatments of the problem of the centre of gravity in quantum mechanics and in field theories imply a second type of Bohr complementarity on the many-body level opening the door for megascopic representations of all basic microscopic quantum axioms with further readings for teleonomic megascopic quantum phenomena, which have no microscopic rationale: isomeric transitions, Jahn-Teller effect, chemical reactions, Einstein-de Haas effect, superconductivity-superfluidity, and brittle fracture.

description: The deconfinement phase transition at high baryon densities and low temperatures evades a direct investigation by means of lattice gauge calculations. In order to make this regime of QCD accessible by computer simulations, two proposal are made: (i) A Lattice Effective Theory (LET) is designed which incorporates gluon and diquark fields. The deconfinement transition takes place when the diquark fields undergo Bose-Einstein condensation. (ii) Rather than using eigenstates of the particle number operator, I propose to perform simulations for a fixed expectation value of the baryonic Noether current. This approach changes the view onto the finite density regime, but evades the sign and overlap problems. The latter proposal is exemplified for the LET: Although the transition from the confinement to the condensate phase is first order in the coupling constant space at zero baryon densities, the transition at finite densities appears to be a crossover.

description: SQL injection (SQLi) attacks pose a significant threat to the security of web applications. Existing approaches do not support object-oriented programming that renders these approaches unable to protect the real-world web apps such as Wordpress, Joomla, or Drupal against SQLi attacks. We propose a novel hybrid static-dynamic analysis for PHP web applications that limits each PHP function for accessing the database. Our tool, SQLBlock, reduces the attack surface of the vulnerable PHP functions in a web application to a set of query descriptors that demonstrate the benign functionality of the PHP function. We implement SQLBlock as a plugin for MySQL and PHP. Our approach does not require any modification to the web app. W evaluate SQLBlock on 11 SQLi vulnerabilities in Wordpress, Joomla, Drupal, Magento, and their plugins. We demonstrate that SQLBlock successfully prevents all 11 SQLi exploits with negligible performance overhead (i.e., a maximum of 3% on a heavily-loaded web server)

description: Increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration and associated global warming can be linked directly to rising anthropogenic CO2 emissions. These emissions, outpacing the natural carbon cycle, originate predominantly from the burning of finite fossil fuel resources. As a unified solution to the challenges of global warming and energy-needs issues, a sustainable and renewable “methanol economy” concept has been proposed. Methanol, the simplest alcohol, is already utilized on a large scale as a carbon feedstock for synthesizing a plethora of organic compounds. Furthermore, methanol is a convenient liquid fuel and an attractive energy carrier. Chemical recycling of CO2, a greenhouse gas, to produce methanol, a green fuel, is of paramount importance for a carbon-neutral methanol economy. Recent advances in this research area are discussed with a focus on low-temperature homogeneous catalysis. In addition, this review provides a detailed discussion of integrated CO2 capture, including direct air capture (DAC), and recycling into methanol—a research field that has gained significant attention over the past five years.

Compact intermediate-mass black hole X-ray binaries: potential LISA sources?

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The scientific aim of the space gravitational wave (GW) detector Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) that was scheduled to launch in the early 2030s is to detect the low-frequency GW signals in the Galaxy. Its main candidate GW sources are compact binaries of white dwarfs and neutron stars. In this work, we examine whether compact intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH) X-ray binaries could be potential LISA sources. Our simulations indicate that IMBH binary with a 1000 $M_{\odot}$ IMBH and a 3 $M_{\odot}$ donor star in an orbit of initial orbital period near the so-called bifurcation period of 0.77 d could evolve into an ultra-compact X-ray binary, which will emit GW signals with maximum frequency of 2.5 mHz. According to the evolutionary tracks of characteristic strain, IMBH X-ray binaries with the initial donor-star masses of $1-3~M_{\odot}$ and the initial orbital periods slightly less than the bifurcation periods will be detectable by the LISA in a distance of 15 kpc. Assuming each of 60 Galactic globular clusters hosts a 1000 $M_{\odot}$ IMBH, the maximum number of compact IMBH X-ray binaries that LISA will detect in the Galaxy should be less than ten. Therefore, the detectability of compact IMBH X-ray binaries by the LISA is not optimistic.

description: We present results of a search for supernova remnants (SNRs) in archival Chandra images of M33. We have identified X-ray SNRs by comparing the list of Chandra, X-ray sources in M33 with tabulations of SNR candidates identified from (1) elevated [S II]/Halpha ratios in the optical, and (2) radio spectral indices. Of the 98 optically known SNRs in M33, 22 have been detected at > 3-sigma level in the soft band (0.35-1.1 keV). At least four of these SNR candidates are spatially extended based on a comparison of the data to simulated images of point sources. Aside from the optically matching SNRs, we have found one soft X-ray source in M33 which exhibits no optical emission and is coincident with a known radio source. The radio spectral index of this source is consistent with particle acceleration in shocks, leading us to suggest that it is a non-radiative SNR. We have also found new optical counterparts to two soft X-ray SNRs in M33. Pending confirmation from optical spectroscopy, the identification of these two optical counterparts increases the total number of known optically emitting SNRs in M33 to 100. This brings the total number of identified SNRs with X-ray counterparts, including those exclusively detected by the XMM-Newton survey of M33, to 37 SNRs. We find that while there are a similar number of confirmed X-ray SNRs in M33 and the LMC with X-ray luminosities in excess of 1e35 ergs/s, nearly 40% of the LMC SNRs are brighter than 1e36 ergs/s, while only 13% of the M33 sample exceed this luminosity. The differences in luminosity distributions cannot be fully explained by uncertainty in spectral model parameters, and is not fully accounted for by abundance differences between the galaxies (abridged).

Threshold behavior of bosonic two-dimensional few-body systems

description: Bosonic two-dimensional self-bound clusters consisting of $N$ atoms interacting through additive van der Waals potentials become unbound at a critical mass m*(N); m*(N) has been predicted to be independent of the size of the system. Furthermore, it has been predicted that the ground state energy E(N) of the N-atom system varies exponentially as the atomic mass approaches m*. This paper reports accurate numerical many-body calculations that allow these predictions to be tested. We confirm the existence of a universal critical mass m*, and show that the near-threshold behavior can only be described properly if a previously neglected term is included. We comment on the universality of the energy ratio E(N+1)/E(N) near threshold.

description: Dual-purpose winter wheat production is an important economic enterprise in the southern Great Plains of the United States. Because of the complex interactions involved in producing wheat grain and beef gain from a single crop, stocking density is an important decision. The objective of the research is to determine the stocking density that maximizes expected net returns from dual-purpose winter wheat production. Statistical tests rejected a conventional linear-response plateau function in favor of a linear-response stochastic plateau function. The optimal stocking density of 1.48 steers per hectare (0.60 steers per acre) is 19% greater with a stochastic plateau than with a nonstochastic one.

description: Farmers in the Mountain Region-in both metro and nonmetro areas-face growth in population and nonfarm employment that affects land use and how farmers operate their businesses. Even in remote locations, people moving to amenity areas may result in farmers changing their operations. Sustainable agriculture, already practiced by Mountain Region farmers to some extent, may help farming to continue. Nonfarm people also have an interest in the continuation of agriculture and the adaptation of sustainable practices, in order to help preserve the amenities that make the region attractive to migrants. Growth in the region does provide some benefits to farmers, however. Growth can help keep the value of farmland up through nonfarm demand for land. In addition, the greater availability of jobs means that off-farm work is available to households operating farms. Off-farm work is particularly important, given the concentrated distribution of farm income.

description: We use new and extant literature spectroscopy to address abundances and membership for UMa moving group stars. We first compare the UMa, Coma, and Hyades H-R diagrams via a homogeneous set of isochrones, and find that these three aggregates are essentially coeval. Our spectroscopy of cool UMa dwarfs reveals striking abundance anomalies--trends with Teff, ionization state, and excitation potential--like those recently seen in young cool M34, Pleaides, and Hyades dwarfs. In particular, the trend of rising 7774 Ang-based OI abundance with declining Teff is markedly subdued in UMa compared to the Pleiades, suggesting a dependence on age or metallicity. Despite disparate sources of Li data,our homogeneous analysis indicates that UMa members evince remarkably small scatter in the Li-Teff plane for Teff>5200 K. Significant star-to-star scatter suggested by previous studies is seen for cooler stars. Comparison with the consistently determined Hyades Li-Teff trend reveals differences qualitatively consistent with this cluster's larger [Fe/H] (and perhaps slightly larger age). However, quantitative comparison with standard stellar models indicates the differences are smaller than expected, suggesting the action of a fourth parameter beyond age, mass, and [Fe/H] controlling Li depletion.

description: The acquisition of symbolic and linguistic representations of sensorimotor behavior is a cognitive process performed by an agent when it is executing and/or observing own and others' actions. According to Piaget's theory of cognitive development, these representations develop during the sensorimotor stage and the pre-operational stage. We propose a model that relates the conceptualization of the higher-level information from visual stimuli to the development of ventral/dorsal visual streams. This model employs neural network architecture incorporating a predictive sensory module based on an RNNPB (Recurrent Neural Network with Parametric Biases) and a horizontal product model. We exemplify this model through a robot passively observing an object to learn its features and movements. During the learning process of observing sensorimotor primitives, i.e. observing a set of trajectories of arm movements and its oriented object features, the pre-symbolic representation is self-organized in the parametric units. These representational units act as bifurcation parameters, guiding the robot to recognize and predict various learned sensorimotor primitives. The pre-symbolic representation also accounts for the learning of sensorimotor primitives in a latent learning context.

description: By combining the large Purcell effect of photonic crystal nanocavity and the strong plasma dispersion effect of the transparent conductive oxides, ultra-compact silicon modulators with heterogeneously integrated indium-tin-oxide (ITO) can potentially achieve unprecedented energy efficiency to atto-joule per bit. In this article, we report the first high-speed silicon nanocavity modulator driven by an ITO gate, achieving 2.2 GHz bandwidth. On-off-key modulation is measured up to 5 Gb/s with only 2 V voltage swing and 18.3 fJ/bit energy efficiency. In addition, we perform in-depth analysis of the energy efficiency and high frequency simulation of the nanocavity modulator, revealing the critical role played by the semiconductor conduction path and the overlapping factor between the accumulated free carriers and the cavity resonant mode. Based on our analysis, we propose a strategy to further improve the modulation bandwidth to 23.5 GHz by node-matched doping and reduce the energy consumption to the range of hundreds of atto-joule per bit.

description: Throughout the Western United States, production ranches are being subdivided into recreation -oriented "ranchettes". This paper presents a hedonic model for ranchettes, introducing the use of remote sensing vegetative indices and neighborhood characteristics. It is found that increased greenness, access to roads, cities, and proximity to open space increase sale prices.

description: Measurements of the electron transparency of a Micromegas mesh are compared to simulations. The flux conservation argument is shown to lead to inaccurate estimates of the transparency, the importance of accurate geometric modelling of the mesh is discussed and the effect of the dipole moment of the mesh is demonstrated. This study provides a validation of the microscopic simulation methods specifically developed for micropattern devices where the characteristic dimensions are of the same order of magnitude as the electron mean free path in the gas.

description: We study static annihilation on complex networks, in which pairs of connected particles annihilate at a constant rate during time. Through a mean-field formalism, we compute the temporal evolution of the distribution of surviving sites with an arbitrary number of connections. This general formalism, which is exact for disordered networks, is applied to Kronecker, Erdös-Rényi (i.e. Poisson) and scale-free networks. We compare our theoretical results with extensive numerical simulations obtaining excellent agreement. Although the mean-field approach applies in an exact way neither to ordered lattices nor to small-world networks, it qualitatively describes the annihilation dynamics in such structures. Our results indicate that the higher the connectivity of a given network element, the faster it annihilates. This fact has dramatic consequences in scale-free networks, for which, once the ``hubs'' have been annihilated, the network disintegrates and only isolated sites are left.

description: This analysis considers two aspects of yield performance using a large sample of data collected from individual U.S. farms. In the first, observable farm and operator characteristics are related to relative yield perofmance. In general, larger, more diversified farms have higher relative yields. In addition, more intensive use of productive inputs tends to be associated with higher yields. In a second segment of the analysis, we focus on the extent to which yield performance for different crops on a single farm tend to be correlated. Our results suggest that farms in major growing regions tend to have greater correlation of crop yields. In addition, larger, more specialized farms tended to have more consistent yield performance across crops. Implications for whole-farm insurance contracts are discussed.

description: Accurately analyzing graph properties of social networks is a challenging task because of access limitations to the graph data. To address this challenge, several algorithms to obtain unbiased estimates of properties from few samples via a random walk have been studied. However, existing algorithms do not consider private nodes who hide their neighbors in real social networks, leading to some practical problems. Here we design random walk-based algorithms to accurately estimate properties without any problems caused by private nodes. First, we design a random walk-based sampling algorithm that comprises the neighbor selection to obtain samples having the Markov property and the calculation of weights for each sample to correct the sampling bias. Further, for two graph property estimators, we propose the weighting methods to reduce not only the sampling bias but also estimation errors due to private nodes. The proposed algorithms improve the estimation accuracy of the existing algorithms by up to 92.6% on real-world datasets.

description: This paper develops cost effective investment rules for farm worker housing and applies the model to farm worker housing in the state of Washington. The state must meet varying seasonal farm worker housing needs at minimum expense. In this study we examine investment rules to choose among different housing technologies in order to minimize the total costs of housing consistent with achieving welfare goals. The research extends existing peak-load models to the multi-season planning cycle case and applies the approach empirically to a new subject area.
Navier-Stokes equations with stochastic lie transport: well-posedness and inviscid limit
Creators: name: Goodair, Daniel
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2024

description: The Navier-Stokes Equations are the fundamental model for viscous fluid dynamics, but no prediction is perfect. Introducing randomness into differential equations has long been an answer to uncertainty quantification; recent developments in the modelling literature point to the significance of transport noise, where the stochastic integral depends on the gradient of the solution. Analytically, this unbounded noise breaks classical frameworks built for studying nonlinear stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs). The primary goal of this thesis is to develop a rigorous solution theory for the Navier-Stokes Equations under Stochastic Advection by Lie Transport, in a general manner which extends to a wide class of nonlinear SPDEs with unbounded noise. Particular attention is given to the case of a domain with physical boundary, where existence results for strong solutions with transport noise were previously unknown. Our theory pertains to both the most classical no-slip boundary condition, as well as the Navier boundary conditions. In particular, strong solutions are obtained for the Navier boundary conditions. Beyond well-posedness theory, we consider the inviscid limit of solutions under the no-slip and Navier boundary conditions. The deterministic theory is markedly different in these two scenarios, the core results of which are recovered in our stochastic setting. For the no-slip condition, the vanishing viscosity and noise limit is shown to provide a solution of the deterministic Euler equation if and only if the energy dissipation in a boundary layer of width approaching zero with viscosity likewise tends to zero. Whilst this property is unknown in general, for a special case of the Navier boundary conditions, the inviscid limit is demonstrated to exist and give a weak solution of the corresponding Stochastic Euler Equation.

description: Social-distancing to combat the COVID-19 pandemic has led to widespread reductions in air pollutant emissions. Quantifying these changes requires a business as usual counterfactual that accounts for the synoptic and seasonal variability of air pollutants. We use a machine learning algorithm driven by information from the NASA GEOS-CF model to assess changes in nitrogen dioxide (NO$_{2}$) and ozone (O$_{3}$) at 5,756 observation sites in 46 countries from January through June 2020. Reductions in NO$_{2}$ correlate with timing and intensity of COVID-19 restrictions, ranging from 60% in severely affected cities (e.g., Wuhan, Milan) to little change (e.g., Rio de Janeiro, Taipei). On average, NO$_{2}$ concentrations were 18% lower than business as usual from February 2020 onward. China experienced the earliest and steepest decline, but concentrations since April have mostly recovered and remained within 5% to the business as usual estimate. NO$_{2}$ reductions in Europe and the US have been more gradual with a halting recovery starting in late March. We estimate that the global NO$_{x}$ (NO+NO$_{2}$) emission reduction during the first 6 months of 2020 amounted to 2.9 TgN, equivalent to 5.1% of the annual anthropogenic total. The response of surface O$_{3}$ is complicated by competing influences of non-linear atmospheric chemistry. While surface O$_{3}$ increased by up to 50% in some locations, we find the overall net impact on daily average O$_{3}$ between February - June 2020 to be small. However, our analysis indicates a flattening of the O$_{3}$ diurnal cycle with an increase in night time ozone due to reduced titration and a decrease in daytime ozone, reflecting a reduction in photochemical production. The O$_{3}$ response is dependent on season, time scale, and environment, with declines in surface O$_{3}$ forecasted if NO$_{x}$ emission reductions continue.

description: Preconditioning is not new but has received considerable attention in recent years. This research addresses two questions. Are buyers of preconditioned feeder calves paying a price premium close to the performance benefits expected from preconditioning? Is there information asymmetry in the value to the buyers compared with the premium they pay? Buyers paid a price premium but less than the expected performance gains. Thus, the hypothesis of asymmetry of information between buyers and sellers could not be confirmed.
