Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: Some time ago the bosonic and fermionic 4-field terms of the non-abelian low energy effective action of the open superstring were obtained, to all order in $α'$. This was done at tree level by directly generalizing the abelian case, treated some time before, and considering the known expressions of all massless superstring 4-point amplitudes (at tree level). In the present work we obtain the bosonic 5-field terms of this effective action, to all order in $α'$. This is done by considering the simplified expression of the superstring 5-point amplitude for massless bosons, obtained some time ago.

description: We calculate the Mellin moments of next-to-next-to-leading order coefficient functions of the Drell-Yan and Higgs production cross sections. The results can be expressed in term of finite harmonic sums which are maximally threefold up to weight four. Various algebraic relations among these finite sums reduce the complexity of the results suitable for fast numerical evaluations. It is shown that only five non--trivial functions occur besides Euler's $ψ$--function in the representation of these Wilson coefficients.

description: The tariff rate quota (TRQ) system was formalised in the Uruguay Round with the aim of maintaining and improving market access for agricultural products. Under this system, a lower tariff rate is applied to imports up to the quota limit, with a higher (and often prohibitive) tariff rate levied on products imported beyond this quota. However, the success of the TRQ system has been limited, with dairy and meat products in particular still facing relatively high barriers to international trade. In this paper, we examine the impact of the TRQ system on New Zealand’s meat and dairy trade. We draw together theoretical and empirical insights and present preliminary findings arising from interviews with key stakeholders. In particular, we examine whether the TRQ system has achieved its objectives from the perspective of the dairy and meat sectors in New Zealand and we analyse problems that appear to exist with the system. We also examine implications of reform of the TRQ system, including lower in- and over-quota rates, increased quota limits and more transparent and efficient administration methods.

description: One economic tool that can aid in the achievement of waste minimisation targets is unit-pricing. Unit-pricing in the waste management sector refers to a pricing system that charges households for their collection and disposal service relative to the amount of waste disposed by the household. This research investigates the potential impact of implementing a unit-pricing policy for domestic waste collection and disposal services in Christchurch. Data is collected using a Contingent Valuation survey. A Poisson Quasi-Maximum Likelihood count model is specified for econometric analysis of demand for Christchurch City Council domestic collection services.

description: Time-periodic (Floquet) drive is a powerful method to engineer quantum phases of matter, including fundamentally non-equilibrium states that are impossible in static Hamiltonian systems. One characteristic example is the anomalous Floquet insulator, which exhibits topologically quantized chiral edge states similar to a Chern insulator, yet is amenable to bulk localization. We study the response of this topological system to time-dependent noise, which breaks the topologically protecting Floquet symmetry. Surprisingly, we find that the quantized response, given by partially filling the fermionic system and measuring charge pumped per cycle, remains quantized up to finite noise amplitude. We trace this robust topology to an interplay between diffusion and Pauli blocking of edge state decay, which we expect should be robust against interactions. We determine the boundaries of the topological phase for a system with spatial disorder numerically through level statistics, and corroborate our results in the limit of vanishing disorder through an analytical Floquet superoperator approach. This approach suggests an interpretation of the state of the system as a non-Hermitian Floquet topological phase. We comment on quantization of other topological responses in the absence of Floquet symmetry and potential experimental realizations.

description: Past empirical benefit measures and other information originally obtained through primary data collection can be used for assessing and analyzing current management and policy actions. This use of past valuation information for current policy analysis is called benefit transfer. In this report, we present information from our database of 1239 consumer surplus estimates usable for benefit transfer that we created from our extensive literature review. The outdoor recreation use value database spans from 1967 through 2003 with activities ranging from birdwatching and picnicking to rock climbing and snorkeling. A park manager or other planner could easily use the information from our database to estimate consumer surplus values for a park, region, or activity, separately, or in combination. For instance, consumer surplus per person per day for wildlife viewing is US$35.30. However, if you are interested in a specific area, such as Alaska, you would find that the consumer surplus for wildlife viewing is US$41.11. Here, we see that the wildlife value in Alaska is higher than the overall average of wildlife viewing, which may be due to the fact that many people go to Alaska to see the big five: wolves, brown bears, dall sheep, caribou, and moose. Databases such as these provide a vast amount of valuable information and can easily be used by a wide range of audiences, from academics to land managers to politicians.

description: This paper presents estimates of the benefits of clearing landmines in rural Thailand using the contingent-valuation (CV) method. The data came from a survey where we asked 341 respondents referendum-type questions that elicit their willingness to pay for landmine clearance. Our estimates imply a value of a statistical life of between US$0.2-0.3 million. The survey also provides estimates of the injury risk-death risk tradeoff and the implicit value of statistical injury. These estimates suggest that the value of lives and injuries saved from mine clearing is likely to be at least an order of magnitude greater than those used in existing studies of mine clearing. Linking a household expenditure survey involving the same sample enables the relationship between the value of statistical life and the characteristics of the households to be considered. The implications of these estimates for cost benefit studies are illustrated using the study by Harris (2000) of mine clearance in Cambodia. It is shown that the value of lives and injuries saved is likely to dominate benefit assessments when VSL estimates are used.

description: The behavior of spin-1/2 particle in a weak static gravitational field is considered. The Dirac Hamiltonian is diagonalized by the Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation providing also the simple form for the momentum and spin polarization operators. The operator equations of momentum and spin motion are derived for a first time. Their semiclassical limit is analyzed. The dipole spin-gravity coupling in the previously found (another) Hamiltonian does not lead to any observable effects. The general agreement between the quantum and classical analysis is established, contrary to several recent claims. The expression for gravitational Stern-Gerlach force is derived. The helicity evolution in the gravitational field and corresponding accelerated frame coincides, being the manifestation of the equivalence principle.

description: The principle motivation for using price-discriminating conservation auctions is that they are expected to be significantly more cost-effective than fixed-price mechanisms. This paper measures cost effectiveness for tenders from two rounds of the Auction for Landscape Recovery in Western Australia relative to counterfactual fixed-price mechanisms. If we assume that the bid equals the compliance cost, the auction gives a significant cost saving over fixed-price mechanisms. If instead we assume that bids include an element of rent, fixed-price mechanisms can be more cost effective than the auction. The significance of these results is that a fixed price scheme may achieve a similar level of cost effectiveness to a conservation auction, when one or more of the following apply: compliance costs do not vary significantly between producers, auction bids have a significant element of rent and the auction incurs a significant additional administrative cost.
Ensemble-averaged, probabilistic, and Kalman-filtered regional ozone forecasts
Creators: name: Delle Monache, Luca
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis investigates the hypothesis that ensemble methods and Kalman-filter (KF) post-processing can be utilized to improve near-surface real-time ozone forecasts. The ensemble approach combines multiple forecasts to yield ensemble-averaged and probabilistic predictions. In non-linear systems such as the atmosphere, it is well established that the ensemble approach provides a better estimate of future evolution than a deterministic forecast. This approach is extended here for ozone forecasts. KF post-processing is applied to remove ozone-forecast bias; i.e., systematic errors. In this dissertation, the filter is applied in a predictor mode to the raw ozone forecasts from the Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) 3-D numerical model. An ozone ensemble-forecast system based on a multi-model approach has been analyzed. Moreover, a new ensemble design for air-quality forecasts has been proposed, based on both meteorology and emission perturbations. Ozone ensemble-averaged and probabilistic forecasts resulting from these ensemble methods have been realized and tested (introducing a new reliability index). The following are the main findings of this thesis. An ozone ensemble-forecast system based on a multi-model approach produces an ensemble-averaged prediction more skillful than a single-model approach. Ensemble-averaging is able to compensate for some of the predictive-skill deficiencies in deterministic ozone forecasts, and for part of the initial-condition inaccuracy. In the new ensemble air-quality forecast system proposed, the meteorology perturbation is important to capture ozone temporal and spatial distributions. The emission perturbation is needed to accurately predict the ozone concentration magnitude. The emission perturbations are more important than the meteorology ones to capture high (and rarely measured) ozone concentrations. The KF successfully removes part of the ozone-forecast bias caused by errors in the model. The combination of ensemble averaging (unsystematic-error removal) and Kalman filtering (systematic-error removal) results in the best ozone forecast. Ensemble and KF methods can indeed significantly improve near-surface ozone forecasts, even in the complex coastal mountain setting of the Lower Fraser Valley. There are no intrinsic limitations to these methods that would prevent their application in real time to other pollutants in other geographic settings.

description: We study thermodynamic properties of the high-temperature modification of fullerites on the basis of the Girifalco intermolecular potential. In the present work, using the Lindemann's melting criterion we estimate a possible melting curve Tm(P) of C60 fullerite. To take into account the lattice anharmonicity that has strong effect at T >700 K, we use the correlative method of unsymmetrized self-consistent field. The melting curve for C60 fullerite has been calculated from the melting point at normal pressure estimated at 1500 K up to 15 kbar which corresponds to 4000 K. The temperature dependence of the melting pressure is approximated very well by the Simon equation. We have calculated its parameters for C60. The temperature dependence of the molar volume along the melting curve is discribed by logarithmic function.

This report presents a detailed description of the methodology used to construct the QFAHPD. The database, constructed from 1999-2006 Nielsen Homescan data, includes quarterly observations on the mean price of 52 food categories for 35 market groups covering the contiguous United States. Data from 2006 indicate that cross-market price variation can be as much as three to four times greater than annual food price inflation.
Intrinsically faint quasars: evidence for meV axion dark matter in the Universe

description: Growing amount of observations indicate presence of intrinsically faint quasar subgroup (a few % of known quasars) with noncosmological quantized redshift. Here we find an analytical solution of Einstein equations describing bubbles made from axions with periodic interaction potential. Such particles are currently considered as one of the leading dark matter candidate. The bubble interior possesses equal gravitational redshift which can have any value between zero and infinity. Quantum pressure supports the bubble against collapse and yields states stable on the scale more then hundreds million years. Our results explain the observed quantization of quasar redshift and suggest that intrinsically faint point-like quasars associated with nearby galaxies are axionic bubbles with masses 10^8-10^9M_{Sun} and radii 10^3-10^4R_{Sun}. They are born in active galaxies and ejected into surrounding space. Properties of such quasars unambiguously indicate presence of axion dark matter in the Universe and yield the axion mass \approx 1 meV, which fits in the open axion mass window constrained by astrophysical and cosmological arguments.

Rocketsonde buoy system : observing system simulation experiments
Creators: name: Spagnol, Giancarlo (John)
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The research presented here provides measurements of the negative impact of the Pacific and Arctic data voids on numerical weather predictability downstream over North America, and the extent to which the detrimental effects can be mitigated with rocket soundings from anchored buoys within the Rocketsonde Buoy System (RBS). The goals include the optimum deployment locations in the Pacific data void, rocketsonde sensor requirements, optimum height of the sounding profiles, number and configuration of the RBS array, real-time management requirements, daily launch times, launch periods during the year, number of rockets per buoy, and resulting buoy size. Observing System Simulation Experiments (OSSEs) are performed that assimilate virtual rocket soundings into an initial weather analysis and then measure the resulting change in forecast skill relative to reference forecasts. OSSEs are performed for 1 day in 2001, 21 days in 2002, 19 days in 2003 and 6 days in 2004. Reference forecast results are studied for 382 days. It is found that the optimum profile height is 6 km. Wintertime-storm forecast-error over western North America averages 18-25% more than summertime, rising to double for high-impact events. The forecasts from 00Z analyses score 6-12% better than the forecasts from 12Z analyses. The RBS engineering constraint is currently 200 of the 6 km altitude rocketsondes allowing a seven-month RBS operational period centered on the winter months delivering a daily 12Z profile. RBS mass and wind observations contribute fairly equally, sometimes cumulatively, to the forecast. A 5% launch tilt is acceptable. Compared to eastern North America, western North America has an averaged penalty of 20%, increasing to 35% during storms, caused by the Pacific data void. A 20% averaged improvement from better Pacific initialization is realistic. During high-impact situations, a three to six RBS strategic deployment can achieve 0.70 or more of this goal. On average, a six-RBS deployment delivers a 0.30 improvement; a 12-15 RBS deployment provides a 0.60 improvement. Real-time management and targeted-RBS operations enhance the results. In summary, deployment of an RBS is recommended because it would likely improve forecast skill over much of North America.

description: In a previous work hep-ph/0203165 we have studied propagation of relativistic particles in the bulk for some of most popular brane models. Constraints have been put on the parameter space of these models by calculating the time delay due to propagation in the bulk of particles created during the interaction of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays with protons in the terrestrial atmosphere. The question was however raised that probability of hard processes in which bulk modes can be produced is small and consequently, the tiny flux of UHECRs can not constrain brane models. Here we use Color Glass Condensate (CGC) model to show that effects of extra dimensions are visible not only in hard processes when the incoming particle hits a massive Kaluza-Klein mode but also through the modification of soft/semi-hard parton distribution. At classical level, for an observer in the CM frame of UHECR and atmospheric hadrons, color charge sources are contracted to a thin sheet with a width inversely proportional to the energy of the ultra energetic cosmic ray hadron and consequently they can see an extra dimension with comparable size. Due to QCD interaction a short life swarm of partons is produced in front of the sheet and its partons can penetrate to the extra-dimension bulk. This reduces the effective density of partons on the brane or in a classical view creates a delay in the arrival of the most energetic particles if they are reflected back due to the warping of the bulk. In CGC approximation the density of swarm at different distance from the classical sheet can be related and therefore it is possible (at least formally) to determine the relative fraction of partons in the bulk and on the brane at different scales. Results of this work are also relevant to the test of brane models in hadron colliders like LHC.

description: In the last twenty years, trends within fresh fruit consumption have shifted from consumption of fresh citrus to non-citrus fresh fruit. Within citrus, consumers are switching from the traditionally dominant fruit, oranges, to tangerines. Using survey results from three cities in the U.S. on consumer preferences for fresh citrus products, we demonstrate that freshness, flavor and appearance are the most important attributes of fresh citrus. Heterogeneous preferences exist among consumers and both demographic and behavioral variables have significant impacts on preferences. Results indicate there are no dominant best predictors of consumer preferences. However, it appears there is potential to develop specific marketing strategies based on demographics.

description: While Robust Model Predictive Control considers the worst-case system uncertainty, Stochastic Model Predictive Control, using chance constraints, provides less conservative solutions by allowing a certain constraint violation probability depending on a predefined risk parameter. However, for safety-critical systems it is not only important to bound the constraint violation probability but to reduce this probability as much as possible. Therefore, an approach is necessary that minimizes the constraint violation probability while ensuring that the Model Predictive Control optimization problem remains feasible. We propose a novel Model Predictive Control scheme that yields a solution with minimal constraint violation probability for a norm constraint in an environment with uncertainty. After minimal constraint violation is guaranteed the solution is then also optimized with respect to other control objectives. Further, it is possible to account for changes over time of the support of the uncertainty. We first present a general method and then provide an approach for uncertainties with symmetric, unimodal probability density function. Recursive feasibility and convergence of the method are proved. A simulation example demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Constraining the ellipticity of millisecond pulsars with observed spin-down rates

description: A spinning neutron star (NS) that is asymmetric with respect to its spin axis can emit continuous gravitational wave (GW) signals. The spin frequencies and their distribution of radio millisecond pulsars (MSPs) and accreting MSPs provide some evidences of GW radiation, and MSPs are ideal probes detecting high frequency GW signals. It is generally thought that MSPs originate from the recycled process, in which the NS accretes the material and angular momentum from the donor star. The accreted matter would be confined at the polar cap zone by an equatorial belt of compressed magnetic field fixed in the deep crust of the NS, and yields "magnetic mountain". Based on an assumption that the spin-down rates of three transitional MSPs including PSR J1023+0038 are the combinational contribution of the accretion torque, the propeller torque, and the GW radiation torque, in this work we attempt to constrain the ellipticities of MSPs with observed spin-down rates. Assuming some canonical parameters of NSs, the ellipticities of three transitional MSPs and ten redbacks are estimated to be $ε=(0.9-23.4)\times 10^{-9}$. The electrical resistivities of three transitional MSPs are also derived to be in the range $η=(1.2-15.3)\times 10^{-31}~\rm s$, which display an ideal power law relation with the accretion rate. The characteristic strains ($h_{\rm c}=(0.6-2.5)\times10^{-27}$) of GW signals emitting by these sources are obviously beyond the sensitivity scope of the aLIGO. We expect that the third-generation GW detectors like the Einstein Telescope can seize the GW signals from these sources in the future.

Spatial quantum noise interferometry in expanding ultracold atom clouds

description: In a pioneering experiment, Hanbury Brown and Twiss (HBT) demonstrated that noise correlations could be used to probe the properties of a (bosonic) particle source through quantum statistics; the effect relies on quantum interference between possible detection paths for two indistinguishable particles. HBT correlations -- together with their fermionic counterparts -- find numerous applications, ranging from quantum optics to nuclear and elementary particle physics. Spatial HBT interferometry has been suggested as a means to probe hidden order in strongly correlated phases of ultracold atoms. Here we report such a measurement on the Mott insulator phase of a rubidium Bose gas as it is released from an optical lattice trap. We show that strong periodic quantum correlations exist between density fluctuations in the expanding atom cloud. These spatial correlations reflect the underlying ordering in the lattice, and find a natural interpretation in terms of a multiple-wave HBT interference effect. The method should provide a useful tool for identifying complex quantum phases of ultracold bosonic and fermionic atoms.

description: Using equations, governing np pairing correlations in S=1, T=0 pairing channel (PRC 63 (2001) 021304(R)), it is shown that at low densities equations for the energy gap in the spectrum of quasiparticles and chemical potentials of protons and neutrons allow solutions with negative chemical potential. This corresponds to appearance of Bose--Einstein condensate (BEC) of deuterons in low density region of nuclear matter.

VAMANA: Modeling Binary Black Hole Population with Minimal Assumptions
Creators: name: Tiwari, Vaibhav
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The population analysis of compact binaries involves the reconstruction of some of the gravitational wave (GW) signal parameters, such as, the mass and the spin distribution, that gave rise to the observed data. This article introduces VAMANA, which reconstructs the binary black hole population using a mixture model and facilitates excellent density measurement as informed by the data. VAMANA uses a mixture of weighted Gaussians to reconstruct the chirp mass distribution. We expect Gaussian mixtures to provide flexibility in modeling complex distributions and enable us in capturing details in the astrophysical chirp mass distribution. Each of the Gaussian in the mixture is combined with another Gaussian and a power-law to simultaneously model the spin component aligned with the orbital angular momentum and the mass ratio distribution, thus also allowing us to capture their variation with the chirp mass. Additionally, we can also introduce broadband smoothing by restricting the Gaussian mixture to lie within a threshold distance of a predefined reference chirp mass distribution. Using simulated data we show the robustness of our method in reconstructing complex populations for a large number of observations. We also apply our method to the publicly available catalog of GW observations made during LIGO's and Virgo's first and second observation runs and present the reconstructed mass, spin distribution, and the estimated merger rate of binary black holes.

description:  

Stress has been derived from the Latin word meaning to draw tight. Stress revealed inability of an animal to cope with its environment. It may cause discomfort leading to death. Various stressors originated from one individual (endogenous) or from the environment (exogenous) can cause stress in animals. Stress can cause abnormal biological functions in the body leading to various disease conditions. Like all other animals, equines are very much susceptible to various stressors. The common stresses and its management in equines are discussed below:

description: Let A:={0,1}. A `cellular automaton' (CA) is a shift-commuting transformation of A^{Z^D} determined by a local rule. Likewise, a `Euclidean automaton' is a shift-commuting transformation of A^{R^D} determined by a local rule. `Larger than Life' (LtL) CA are long-range generalizations of J.H. Conway's Game of Life CA, proposed by K.M. Evans. We prove a conjecture of Evans: as their radius grows to infinity, LtL CA converge to a `continuum limit' Euclidean automaton, which we call `RealLife'. We also show that the `life forms' (fixed points, periodic orbits, and propagating structures) of LtL CA converge to life forms of RealLife. Finally we prove a number of existence results for fixed points of RealLife.

The particle identification (PID) is achieved by a combination of the STAR TPC and the new TOF detectors, which allow a PID coverage in transverse momentum ($p_T$) up to 7 GeV/c for pions, 3 GeV/c for kaons, and 5 GeV/c for (anti-) protons.
