description: We present a measurement of the time-dependent CP-violating asymmetries in decays of neutral B mesons to the final states D*-+ pi+-, using approximately 232 million BBbar events recorded by the BABAR experiment at the PEP2 e+e- storage ring. Events containing these decays are selected with a partial reconstruction technique, in which only the high-momentum pi+- from the B decay and the low-momentum pi-+ from the D*-+ decay are used. % We measure the parameters related to 2beta+gamma to be a_D*pi=-0.034 +- 0.014 +- 0.009 and c_l_D*pi = -0.019 +- 0.022 +- 0.013. With some theoretical assumptions, we interpret our results in term of the lower limits |\sin(2beta+gamma)|> 0.62 (0.35) at 68% (90%) confidence level.

description: Vacuum fluctuations in the inflaton field driving chaotic inflation with a quadratic potential give a red spectrum of primordial density perturbations, n=0.97. However angular fluctuations in an O(N)-symmetric quadratic potential have a very nearly scale-invariant spectrum, n=0.9998. We investigate the possibility that these isocurvature field perturbations could give the dominant contribution to the primordial density perturbation after inflation.

description: Recent attempts at cooperating on climate change mitigation highlight the limited efficacy of large-scale agreements, when commitment to mitigation is costly and initially rare. Bottom-up approaches using region-specific mitigation agreements promise greater success, at the cost of slowing global adoption. Here, we show that a well-timed switch from regional to global negotiations dramatically accelerates climate mitigation compared to using only local, only global, or both agreement types simultaneously. This highlights the scale-specific roles of mitigation incentives: local incentives capitalize on regional differences (e.g., where recent disasters incentivize mitigation) by committing early-adopting regions, after which global agreements draw in late-adopting regions. We conclude that global agreements are key to overcoming the expenses of mitigation and economic rivalry among regions but should be attempted once regional agreements are common. Gradually up-scaling efforts could likewise accelerate mitigation at smaller scales, for instance when costly ecosystem restoration initially faces limited public and legislative support.
Spin-polarized transport through a single-level quantum dot in the Kondo regime

description: Nonequilibrium electronic transport through a quantum dot coupled to ferromagnetic leads (electrodes) is studied theoretically by the nonequilibrium Green function technique. The system is described by the Anderson model with arbitrary correlation parameter $U$. Exchange interaction between the dot and ferromagnetic electrodes is taken into account {\it via} an effective molecular field. The following situations are analyzed numerically: (i) the dot is symmetrically coupled to two ferromagnetic leads, (ii) one of the two ferromagnetic leads is half-metallic with almost total spin polarization of electron states at the Fermi level, and (iii) one of the two electrodes is nonmagnetic whereas the other one is ferromagnetic. Generally, the Kondo peak in the density of states (DOS) becomes spin-split when the total exchange field acting on the dot is nonzero. The spin-splitting of the Kondo peak in DOS leads to splitting and suppression of the corresponding zero bias anomaly in the differential conductance.

description: We explore the nature of the faint blue objects in the Hubble Deep Field South. We have derived proper motions for the point sources in the Hubble Deep Field South using a 3 year baseline. Combining our proper motion measurements with spectral energy distribution fitting enabled us to identify 4 quasars and 42 stars, including 3 white dwarf candidates. Two of these white dwarf candidates, HDFS 1444 and 895, are found to display significant proper motion, 21.1 $\pm$ 7.9 mas/yr and 34.9 $\pm$ 8.0 mas/yr, and are consistent with being thick disk or halo white dwarfs located at ~2 kpc. The other faint blue objects analyzed by Mendez & Minniti do not show any significant proper motion and are inconsistent with being halo white dwarfs; they do not contribute to the Galactic dark matter. The observed population of stars and white dwarfs is consistent with standard Galactic models.

description: A large number of animals from nonvertebrate to mammals have been used in biomedical research to generate in vivo preclinical data. Selection of an ideal animal model depends on several factors such as research goal, nature of disease and quick answer to discovery question. Zebrafish is a small freshwater vertebrate. In the milieu of human diseases, it is more relevant animal model than nematode C. elegans and fruit fly Drosophila. Mice and rats share around 90% of their genome with human, whereas zebrafish share about 70% of its genome with human and around 85% of diseases associated human genes have a homolog in zebrafish. Zebrafish embryos develop externally outside the mother and their body are transparent which facilitate easier manipulation and monitoring during organogenesis, it makes zebrafish advantageous over other animal models. The genome of this model has been fully sequenced, they have shorter life cycle (several hours to start somitogenesis and 2.5 months to become adult) and each pair of adults can give around 500 embryos weekly. A PubMed search study (search key words “biomedical” and “zebrafish”) from 2012 to 2019 has observed a gradual increase in the number of publications. Many laboratories in the field of genetics, toxicology, neurobiology, oncology, molecular biology, and developmental biology are using zebrafish to study human diseases. Our laboratory using zebrafish since 2017 to study developmental toxicology, chemical toxicology, developmental senescence and cellular autophagy. We expect our zebrafish implicated investigation will encourage and support our researchers to utilize zebrafish in their researches.

description: We present a case study elaborating on the multiplicity and self-similarity of homoclinic and heteroclinic bifurcation structures in the 2D and 3D parameter spaces of a nonlinear laser model with a Lorenz-like chaotic attractor. In a symbiotic approach combining the traditional parameter continuation methods using MatCont and a newly developed technique called the Deterministic Chaos Prospector (DCP) utilizing symbolic dynamics on fast parallel computing hardware with graphics processing units (GPUs), we exhibit how specific codimension-two bifurcations originate and pattern regions of chaotic and simple dynamics in this classical model. We show detailed computational reconstructions of key bifurcation structures such as Bykov T-point spirals and inclination flips in 2D parameter space, as well as the spatial organization and 3D embedding of bifurcation surfaces, parametric saddles, and isolated closed curves (isolas).

description: This study examined farm numbers and marketing strategies as influenced by residential development between 1990 and 1997 in an urbanizing county. Information was collected through farmer focus group interviews. A positive correlation (r=0.45, P<0.10) was found between housing starts and net change in farm numbers per township. There was a shift toward agricultural products and services for the retail market. In most developed townships, farmers viewed new rural residents as potential customers. This study found that farming and residential development are not necessarily incompatible. Under some circumstances, residential development may spark an increase in the number of farms.

A parameter $c$ is introduced which describes a density of sites which are randomly deployed and where the stochastic Manna rules are applied. The results show that the avalanche area exponent $τ_{a}$, avalanche size exponent $τ_{s}$, and capacity fractal dimension $D_{s}$ depend on the density $c$. A crossover from multifractal scaling of the Bak, Tang, and Wiesenfeld model ($c=0$) to finite size scaling was found. The critical density $c$ is found to be in the interval $0

description: Very little research has been done on the impact of mergers, divestitures, and leveraged buyouts on the American consumer. The U.S. food marketing system had nearly 400 mergers and leveraged buyouts in 1996, bringing the 15-year total to about 6,400. In 1996, all indicators show that consumers were not adversely affected by this level of activity, although profitability and owners' equity continue to skyrocket. This presentation examines the consumer's welfare indirectly by looking at key economic indicators of the food marketing system in 1996-such as retail food prices, advertising expenditures, new product introductions, research and development, profitability, and equity appreciation.

Symmetry breaking effects in the hyperon semileptonic decay form factors are reanalyzed. Fits to experimental data yield corrections to the leading vector and axial-vector form factors consistent with expectations. The values of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix elements V_{ud} and V_{us} also extracted from the analysis are comparable to the ones recommended by the Particle Data Group.

Depolarization of radio bursts due to reflection off sharp boundaries in the solar corona
Creators: name: Melrose, D. B
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: It is argued that depolarization of solar radio bursts requires reflection off boundary layers no thicker than about a wavelength (a few meters at most) between regions with large density ratios. The implied inhomogeneities suggest that the corona is much more highly and sharply structured than can be resolved from observations at other wavelengths. A simplified version of magnetoionic theory is used to derive a depolarization coefficient: the effect of the magnetic field is ignored in treating the dispersion, but taken into account in treating the (circular) polarization. Plots of the depolarization coefficient are used to infer conditions under which effective depolarization occurs, and it is concluded that favorable conditions require total internal reflection. For type I sources away from the central meridian, effective depolarization requires reflection off an overdense structure with a density ratio $ξ\approx10$. For type III bursts, a density ratio $ξ\approx2$ suffices, with at least two reflections off walls of ducts at $\approx20^\circ$ to the radial.
Velocity limits in the thermonuclear supernova ejection scenario for hypervelocity stars and the origin of US 708

description: Hypervelocity stars (HVS) are a class of stars moving at high enough velocities to be gravitationally unbound from the Galaxy. Ejection from a close binary system in which one of the components undergoes a thermonuclear supernova (SN) has emerged as a promising candidate production mechanism for the least massive specimens of this class. This study presents a thorough theoretical analysis of candidate progenitor systems of thermonuclear SNe in the single degenerate helium donor scenario in the relevant parameter space leading to the ejection of HVS. The primary goal is investigation of the, previously unclear, characteristics of the velocity spectra of the ejected component. Presented are the results of 390 binary model sequences computed with the MESA framework, investigating the evolution of supernova progenitors composed of a helium-rich hot subdwarf and a accreting white dwarf. Results are then correlated with an idealized kinematic analysis of the observed object US 708. It is seen that the ejection velocity spectra reach a maximum in the range $0.19~M_\odot < M_{HVS} < 0.25~M_\odot$. Depending on the local Galactic potential, all donors below $0.4~\text{M}_\odot$ are expected to become HVS. This channel is able to account for runaway velocities up to $\sim1150~\text{km s}^{-1}$ with a Chandrasekhar mass accretor, exceeding $1200~\text{km s}^{-1}$ if super-Chandrasekhar mass detonations are taken into account. It is found that the previously assumed mass of $0.3~M_\odot$ for US 708, combined with more recently obtained proper motions, favor a sub-Chandrasekhar mass explosion with a terminal WD mass between $1.1~M_\odot$ and $1.2~M_\odot$. The presence of clear ejection velocity maxima provides constraints on the terminal state of a supernova progenitor. It is possible to discern certain types of explosion mechanisms from the inferred ejection velocities alone.

description: Both market structure and corporate practices of Archer Daniels Midland fostered the implementation of the largest price-fixing conspiracies seen in modern times. The overcharges imposed on U.S. buyers of lysine and citric acid during 1994-1995 by ADM and its co-conspirators amounted to at least $250 million, and the total amount of public penalties, private damages, and legal costs exceeds $666 million. Perpetrators of price-fixing now face monetary exposures that are five times the amount of the harm caused to buyers. These events have spurred renewed attention by U.S. antitrust authorities in prosecuting international cartels.

In the B-DNA state, $λ$-DNA exhibits paramagnetic behaviour below 20 K that is non-linear in applied magnetic field whereas in the A-DNA state, remains diamagnetic down to 2 K. We propose orbital paramagnetism as the origin of the observed phenomena and discuss its relation to the existence of long range coherent transport in B-DNA at low temperature.

Optimal design of acoustic metamaterial cloaks under uncertainty

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Optimization and Control (math.OC)

description: In this work, we consider the problem of optimal design of an acoustic cloak under uncertainty and develop scalable approximation and optimization methods to solve this problem. The design variable is taken as an infinite-dimensional spatially-varying field that represents the material property, while an additive infinite-dimensional random field represents the variability of the material property or the manufacturing error. Discretization of this optimal design problem results in high-dimensional design variables and uncertain parameters. To solve this problem, we develop a computational approach based on a Taylor approximation and an approximate Newton method for optimization, which is based on a Hessian derived at the mean of the random field. We show our approach is scalable with respect to the dimension of both the design variables and uncertain parameters, in the sense that the necessary number of acoustic wave propagations is essentially independent of these dimensions, for numerical experiments with up to one million design variables and half a million uncertain parameters. We demonstrate that, using our computational approach, an optimal design of the acoustic cloak that is robust to material uncertainty is achieved in a tractable manner. The optimal design under uncertainty problem is posed and solved for the classical circular obstacle surrounded by a ring-shaped cloaking region, subjected to both a single-direction single-frequency incident wave and multiple-direction multiple-frequency incident waves. Finally, we apply the method to a deterministic large-scale optimal cloaking problem with complex geometry, to demonstrate that the approximate Newton method's Hessian computation is viable for large, complex problems.

description: The recent search for a stochastic background of gravitational waves with LIGO interferometers has produced a new upper bound on the amplitude of this background in the 100 Hz region. We investigate the implications of the current and future LIGO results on pre-Big-Bang models of the early Universe, determining the exclusion regions in the parameter space of the minimal pre-Big Bang scenario. Although the current LIGO reach is still weaker than the indirect bound from Big-Bang nucleosynthesis, future runs by LIGO, in the coming year, and by Advanced LIGO (~2009) should further constrain the parameter space, and in some parts surpass the Big-Bang nucleosynthesis bound. It will be more diffcult to constrain the parameter space in non-minimal pre-Big-Bang models, which are characterized by multiple cosmological phases in the yet not well understood stringy phase, and where the higher-order curvature and/or quantum-loop corrections in the string effective action should be included.

description: Since the introduction of genetically modified (GM) crops, the commodity grain system has been under pressure to segregate GM and non-GM crops. Starting at the level of the grain handler, members of the grain supply chain have successfully used quality assurance and identity preservation programs to segregate non-GM crops. Producers delivering high value, identity preserved crops have become interested in implementing these quality management systems at the farm level. We conduct a cost-benefit analysis that shows that quality assurance program may be profitable for producers, depending on their farm size and equipment management strategy.

The solutions are obtained using the Tridiagonal Representation Approach (TRA) as bounded series of square integrable functions written in terms of the Bessel polynomial on the real line. The expansion coefficients of the series are orthogonal polynomials in the equation parameters space. We use our findings to obtain solutions of the Schrödinger equation for some novel potential functions.

description: For a driven-dissipative quantum many-body system prepared in a spontaneous broken-symmetry steady state, in addition to the Goldstone mode the soft fluctuation modes provide important insight into the system's dynamics. Using a microscopic polariton laser theory, we find a rich transformation behavior of discrete and continuum soft modes in a two parameter (pump density and cavity dissipation rate) space. In addition to finding exceptional-point Goldstone companion modes, our theory yields a unified picture of a variety of seemingly disconnected physical concepts including Mott transition, Mollow spectra or relaxation oscillations, and polaritonic Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer gaps.

description: We report on results of the first realistic electronic structure calculations of the Pu-based PuCoGa5 superconductor based on the dynamical mean field theory. We find that dynamical correlations due to the local Coulomb interaction between Pu f-electrons lead to substantial modification of the electronic structure with a narrow peak being formed in vicinity of the Fermi energy, in agreement with the experimental photoemission spectra, and in contrast with the recent calculations within the LDA+U method, where only static electronic correlations have been included. Both Pu and Co contribute in equal footing to the narrow peak on the density of states at the Fermi level, the Co partial density of states being prominently affected by electronic correlations on the Pu sites. The k-resolved spectral density is calculated and the theoretical spectral function resolved extended Van Hove singularity near the Fermi energy. This singularity may lead to enchancement of the magnetic susceptebility and favour d-wave superconductivity.

description: With more than 1000 hours of observation from Feb 2016 to Oct 2019, the Spitzer Exploration Program Red Worlds (ID: 13067, 13175 and 14223) exclusively targeted TRAPPIST-1, a nearby (12pc) ultracool dwarf star orbited by seven transiting Earth-sized planets, all well-suited for a detailed atmospheric characterization with the upcoming JWST. In this paper, we present the global results of the project. We analyzed 88 new transits and combined them with 100 previously analyzed transits, for a total of 188 transits observed at 3.6 or 4.5 $μ$m. We also analyzed 29 occultations (secondary eclipses) of planet b and eight occultations of planet c observed at 4.5 $μ$m to constrain the brightness temperatures of their daysides. We identify several orphan transit-like structures in our Spitzer photometry, but all of them are of low significance. We do not confirm any new transiting planets. We estimate for TRAPPIST-1 transit depth measurements mean noise floors of $\sim$35 and 25 ppm in channels 1 and 2 of Spitzer/IRAC, respectively. most of this noise floor is of instrumental origins and due to the large inter-pixel inhomogeneity of IRAC InSb arrays, and that the much better interpixel homogeneity of JWST instruments should result in noise floors as low as 10ppm, which is low enough to enable the atmospheric characterization of the planets by transit transmission spectroscopy. We construct updated broadband transmission spectra for all seven planets which show consistent transit depths between the two Spitzer channels. We identify and model five distinct high energy flares in the whole dataset, and discuss our results in the context of habitability. Finally, we fail to detect occultation signals of planets b and c at 4.5 $μ$m, and can only set 3$σ$ upper limits on their dayside brightness temperatures (611K for b 586K for c).

description: This report presents the preliminary result for the prompt photon production cross section in proton-proton collisions in the mid-rapidity region using the PHENIX detector. The NLO pQCD calculation is in good agreement with the data. The measurement was made with and without an isolation cut. The isolation cut significantly improves the signal purity without reducing the signal yield. This is an important step for the future spin asymmetry measurement.

description: The planning process presented in the paper outlines several methods of analysis that farm business managers can use to choose among three business position options. The five forces model is an effective tool for scanning the external business environment and assessing a business's internal resources and capabilities. The value plate will assist managers in identifying the activities upon which a business may build a competitive advantage. Once these are assesses, managers must select a strategic position from three options: operational excellence/cost leadership, product or service innovation, and customer intimacy.
Space-time structure may be topological and not geometrical

description: In a previous effort [arXiv:1708.05492] we have created a framework that explains why topological structures naturally arise within a scientific theory; namely, they capture the requirements of experimental verification. This is particularly interesting because topological structures are at the foundation of geometrical structures, which play a fundamental role within modern mathematical physics. In this paper we will show a set of necessary and sufficient conditions under which those topological structures lead to real quantities and manifolds, which are a typical requirement for geometry. These conditions will provide a physically meaningful procedure that is the physical counter-part of the use of Dedekind cuts in mathematics. We then show that those conditions are unlikely to be met at Planck scale, leading to a breakdown of the concept of ordering. This would indicate that the mathematical structures required to describe space-time at that scale, while still topological, may not be geometrical.

description: Weak field Hall resistance Rxy(T) of the 2D electron system in Si was measured over the range of temperatures 1-35 K and densities, where the diagonal resistivity exhibits a ``metallic'' behavior. The Rxy(T) dependence was found to be non-monotonic with a maximum at temperatures Tm~0.16Tf. The Rxy(T) variations in the low-temperature domain (TTm), the Rxy(T) dependence can be qualitatively explained in terms of either a semiclassical T-dependence of a transport time, or a thermal activation of carries from a localized band.

description: This paper compares two estimation methods of a three-stage least squares (3SLS) system of equations, corrected for spatial autocorrelation. The modeling approach is novel in that it is an extension of Anselin's (1988) seemingly unrelated regression (SUR) space-time spatial error model for panel data. An empirical comparison of the quasi-maximum likelihood (QML) estimation of the equation system, and Kelejian and Prucha's general moments (GM) estimation approach is presented. The model and estimation procedures introduced in this study are easily extended to other economic, agronomic, or biological models that must incorporate spatial and temporal effects in the model specification, and overcome simultaneous equation bias. The empirical example used in this study falls in the realm of production economics: on-farm production data is used to optimize input rates across time and space. This data is the product of on-farm, site-specific manure management research at the University of Minnesota.

description: The Department of Justice (DOJ) antitrust penalties have become harsher for violating individuals and firms, and the criminal enforcement of cases has become increasingly important during the last 20 years. In this study we investigate whether these changes in antitrust law led to improved effectiveness of antitrust actions with respect to price-fixing over 1981-2001. We measure effectiveness by suppressed stock market values of offending firms after successful Section 1 of the Sherman Act indictment, by duration of the deterrent effect and by the rate of recidivism. We use effectiveness of antitrust enforcement documented by Bosch and Eckard (1991) and Thompson and Kaserman (2001) for 1962-80 as a basis for comparison. Our results show that the changes in antitrust law do improve the effectiveness as measured by changes in market valuations of offenders, but the durability of deterrent effect and the rate of recidivism are left unaffected suggesting that Section 1 of Sherman Act enforcement has very little lasting effect.

description: We investigate the Philippine government's price stabilization policy for rice. Seemingly Unrelated Regressions are used to examine the effectiveness of the program at regional and national levels over a 21-year period (January 1983 to December 2003). Results of the regional analysis indicate some NFA-induced spatial and temporal differences in terms of producer prices. The NFA successfully increased producer prices in 5 of 13 regions through stock accumulation and paddy rice purchase at floor prices. NFA stock releases do not correlate strongly with retail prices at the national level, although results from the regional model indicate that NFA stock releases reduced retail prices in five regions, leading to perceptible spatial and temporal differences between regions. Although the NFA support price appears to have been moderately successful in increasing producer prices at a national level, on average, the support price led to an increase in consumer prices in ten regions and contributed little to price stabilization. Overall, therefore, our results indicate very limited success on the part of the NFA to achieve its major objectives at either regional or national level. We suggest the NFA should concentrate its resources in the poorest areas of the country, where it might exert greater and more useful influence in smaller and locally thin rice markets.
