$η$ Carinae: particle acceleration and multi-messenger aspects

description: $η$ Carinae is composed of two very massive stars orbiting each other in 5.5 years. The primary star features the densest known stellar wind, colliding with that expelled by its companion. The wind collision region dissipates energy and accelerate particles up to relativistic energies, producing non thermal X- and $γ$-ray emission detected by Beppo-SAX, INTEGRAL, Swift, Suzaku, Agile, Fermi and H.E.S.S.. The orbital variability of the system provides key diagnostic on the physics involved and on the emission mechanisms. The low-energy component, which cuts off below 10 GeV and varies by a factor < 2 along the orbit, is likely of inverse Compton origin. The high energy component varies by larger factors and differently during the two periastrons observed by Fermi. These variations match the predictions of simula- tions assuming a magnetic field in the range 0.4-1 kG at the surface of the primary star. The high-energy component and the thermal X-ray emission were weaker than expected around the 2014 periastron suggesting a modification of the inner wind density. Diffuse shock acceleration in the complex geometry of the wind collision zone provides a convincing match to the observations and new diagnostic tools to probe the geometry and energetics of the system. A future instrument sensitive in the MeV energy range could discriminate between lepto-hadronic and hadronic models for the gamma-ray emission. At higher energies, the Cherenkov Telescope Array will distinguish orbital modulations of the high-energy component from these of ultraviolet-TeV photo absorption providing a wealth of information constraining acceleration physics in more extreme conditions than found in SNR.

description: The study area is located in western Pacific Ocean, Mariana Trench. The aim of the data analysis is to analyze the potential influence of how various geological and tectonic factors may affect the geomorphological shape of the Mariana Trench. Statistical analysis of the data set in marine geology and oceanography requires an adequate strategy on big data processing. In this context, current re-search proposes a combination of the Python-based methodology that couples GIS geospatial data analysis. The Quantum GIS part of the methodology produces an optimized representative sampling dataset consisting of 25 cross-section profiles having in total 12,590 bathymetric observation points. The sampling of the geospatial dataset are located across the Mariana Trench. The second part of the methodology consists of statistical data processing by means of high-level programming language Python. Current research uses libraries Pandas, NumPy and SciPy. The data processing also involves the subsampling of two auxiliary masked data frames from the initial large data set that only consists of the target variables: sediment thickness, slope angle degrees and bathymetric observation points across four tectonic plates: Pacific, Philippine, Mariana, and Caroline. Finally, the data were analyzed by several approaches: 1) Kernel Density Estimation (KDE) for analysis of the probability of data distribution; 2) stacked area chart for visualization of the data range across various segments of the trench; 3) spacial series of radar charts; 4) stacked bar plots showing the data distribution by tectonic plates; 5) stacked bar charts for correlation of sediment thickness by profiles, versus distance from the igneous volcanic areas; 6) circular pie plots visualizing data distribution by 25 profiles; 7) scatterplot matrices for correlation analysis between marine geologic variables. The results presented a distinct correlation between the geologic, tectonic and oceanographic variables. Six Python codes are provided in full for repeatability of this research.
Polymer-Mode-Coupling Theory of Finite-Size-Fluctuation Effects in Entangled Solutions, Melts and Gels. I. General Formulation and Predictions

description: The transport coefficients of dense polymeric fluids are approximately calculated from the microscopic intermolecular forces. The following finite molecular weight effects are discussed within the Polymer-Mode-Coupling theory (PMC) and compared to the corresponding reptation/ tube ideas: constraint release mechanism, spatial inhomogeneity of the entanglement constraints, and tracer polymer shape fluctuations. The entanglement corrections to the single polymer Rouse dynamics are shown to depend on molecular weight via the ratio N/N_e, where the entanglement degree of polymerization, N_e, can be measured from the plateau shear modulus. Two microscopically defined non-universal parameters, an entanglement strength 1/alpha and a length scale ratio, delta= xi_rho/b, where xi_rho and b are the density screening and entanglement length respectively, are shown to determine the reduction of the entanglement effects relative to the reptation- -like asymptotes of PMC theory. Large finite size effects are predicted for reduced degrees of polymerization up to N/N_e\le10^3. Effective power law variations for intermediate N/N_e of the viscosity, eta\sim N^x, and the diffusion constant, D\sim N^{-y}, can be explained with exponents significantly exceeding the asymptotic, reptation-like values, x\ge 3 and y\ge2, respectively. Extensions of the theory to treat tracer dielectric relaxation, and polymer transport in gels and other amorphous systems, are also presented.

description: In this paper we study the $(2+1)$-dimensional Dirac-Dunkl oscillator coupled to an external magnetic field. Our Hamiltonian is obtained from the standard Dirac oscillator coupled to an external magnetic field by changing the partial derivatives by the Dunkl derivatives. We solve the Dunkl-Klein-Gordon-type equations in polar coordinates in a closed form. The angular part eigenfunctions are given in terms of the Jacobi-Dunkl polynomials and the radial functions in terms of the Laguerre functions. Also, we compute the energy spectrum of this problem and show that, in the non-relativistic limit, it properly reduces to the Hamiltonian of the two dimensional harmonic oscillator.

description: The Texas Hill Country is threatened by devastating long-duration droughts and short-duration floods, either of which can occur at any time. In Central Texas, El Niño and La Niña conditions each occur about one-quarter of the time. Long-term precipitation data for the area reveal that greater rainfall generally occurs during La Niña periods for summer months but greater rainfall typically occurs during El Niño periods for other months. Annual streamflow peaks cannot be attributed to El Niño or La Niña conditions, but typically occur during the hurricane season (June through November), especially for the largest peaks. Additionally, El Niño period runoff volumes exceed those during La Niña at all runoff-gaged streams in the area. For the streams in the northern part of the Hill Country, El Niño period runoff only slightly exceeds La Niña period runoff. However, for the streams in the southern part of the area, El Niño period runoff greatly exceeds La Niña period runoff.

description: The integrals of motion for a cylindrically symmetric stationary vortex are obtained in a covariant description of a mixture of interacting superconductors, superfluids and normal fluids. The relevant integrated stress-energy coefficients for the vortex with respect to a vortex-free reference state are calculated in the approximation of a ``stiff'', i.e. least compressible, relativistic equation of state for the fluid mixture. As an illustration of the foregoing general results, we discuss their application to some of the well known examples of ``real'' superfluid and superconducting systems that are contained as special cases. These include Landau's two-fluid model, uncharged binary superfluid mixtures, rotating conventional superconductors and the superfluid neutron-proton-electron plasma in the outer core of neutron stars.

Publisher: name: Texas Water Journal
Year: 2010

description: The Texas Water Availability Modeling System is routinely applied in administration of the water rights permit system, regional and statewide planning, and an expanding variety of other endeavors. Modeling water management in the 23 river basins of the state reflects about 8,000 water right permits and 3,400 reservoirs. Datasets are necessarily large and complex to provide the decision-support capabilities for which the modeling system was developed. New modeling features are being added, and the different types of applications are growing. Certain applications are enhanced by simplifying the simulation input datasets to focus on particular water management systems. A methodology is presented for developing a condensed dataset for a selected reservoir system that reflects the impacts of all the water rights and accompanying reservoirs removed from the original complete dataset. A set of streamflows is developed that represents flows available to the selected system considering the effects of all the other water rights in the river basin contained in the original complete model input dataset that are not included in the condensed dataset. The methodology is applied to develop a condensed model of the Brazos River Authority reservoir system based on modifying the Texas Water Availability Modeling System dataset for the Brazos River Basin.

description: Rumination is an involuntary cognitive process theorized to prolong arousal and inhibit proper emotion regulation. Most available research has examined individual differences in cognitive dispositions to ruminate about stress as a risk marker for psychopathology and other health problems. This intensive longitudinal study extended previous research by examining day-to-day associations of rumination about stress with objectively-measured actigraph-based sleep and diurnal salivary cortisol activity. Sixty-one healthy participants (Mage = 20.91) completed up to five ecological momentary assessments (EMA) each day and wore actigraph wristwatches for eight days (N = 488). On three of these days, participants provided five saliva samples assayed for cortisol (N = 910). On average, greater daily stress levels were associated with shorter sleep duration and higher waking cortisol levels. In day-to-day analyses, greater daily stress levels, when combined with ruminating about daily stress more than usual, was associated with higher waking cortisol levels the following morning. Ruminating more than usual about daily stress, in the context of low-stress days, was also associated with flatter diurnal cortisol slopes the next day. These findings highlight the potential influences of daily stress, and rumination about stress, on sleep and diurnal cortisol activity – two important markers of health and well-being.
AGN evolution from galaxy evolution viewpoint - II

description: In order to relate the observed evolution of the galaxy stellar mass function and the luminosity function of active galactic nuclei (AGN), we explore a co-evolution scenario in which AGN are associated only with the very last phases of the star-forming life of a galaxy. We derive analytically the connections between the parameters of the observed quasar luminosity functions and galaxy mass functions. The $(m_{\rm bh}/m_{*})_{Qing}$ associated with quenching is given by the ratio of the global black hole accretion rate density (BHARD) and star-formation rate density (SFRD) at the epoch in question. Observational data on the SFRD and BHARD suggests $(m_{\rm bh}/m_{*})_{Qing} \propto (1+z)^{1.5}$ below redshift 2. This evolution reproduces the observed mass-luminosity plane of SDSS quasars, and also reproduces the local $m_{\rm bh}/m_{*}$ relation in passive galaxies. The characteristic Eddington ratio, $λ^*$, is derived from both the BHARD/SFRD ratio and the evolving $L^*$ of the AGN population. This increases up to $z \sim 2$ as $λ^* \propto (1+z)^{2.5}$ but at higher redshifts, $λ^*$ stabilizes at the physically interesting Eddington limit, $λ^* \sim 1$. The new model may be thought of as an opposite extreme to our earlier co-evolution scenario in Caplar et al. 2015. The main observable difference between the two co-evolution scenarios, presented here and in Caplar et al. 2015, is in the active fraction of low mass star-forming galaxies. We compare the predictions with the data from deep multi-wavelength surveys and find that the "quenching" scenario developed in the current paper is much to be preferred.

description: The spin-spin correlation length and the static structure factor for bilayer antiferromagnets, such as YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{6}$, are calculated using field theoretical and numerical methods. It is shown that these quantities can be directly measured in neutron scattering experiments using energy integrated two-axis scan despite the strong intensity modulation perpendicular to the layers. Our calculations show that the correlation length of the bilayer antiferromagnet diverges considerably more rapidly, as the temperature tends to zero, than the correlation length of the corresponding single layer antiferromagnet typified by La$_2$CuO$_4$. This rapid divergence may have important consequences with respect to magnetic fluctuations of the doped superconductors.

description: The pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is associated with perturbation of innate immune response. Several studies indicated alteration of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines, chemokines and other mediators of innate immune response in T2DM. This study was designed to perform quantitative PCR-based expression profiling of genes involved in inflammation (i.e. CASP1, CASP5, CCL5, CXC11, CCR5, NF-Κb, IL-4, PPARG and PGC1α) in peripheral blood leukocytes of T2DM patients. The T2DM patients are often prescribed with metformin and insulin while metformin has also been reported to possess anti-inflammatory activity. To address the question whether metformin exerts any effect on inflammatory mediators in bloodstream, human subjects in this study were divided into four groups on the basis of medication they were taking during last 6 month. These groups included NT-T2DM (T2DM patients not taking medication, n = 34), Met-T2DM (T2DM patients taking metformin, n = 33), INS-T2DM (T2DM patients taking insulin, n = 15) and NGT (normoglycemic subjects, n = 34) groups. Differential expression of gene transcripts at a cutoff of fourfold was considered significant. In the NT-T2DM group, transcripts of inflammation-related genes (i.e. CASP1, CASP5, CCL5, CCR5 and NF-kB) were up-regulated while transcripts of PPARG and PGC1α genes were down-regulated compared to NGT group. On the other hand, down-regulation of CASP1, CASP5, CCL5, CCR5 and NF-kB transcripts was evident in Met-T2DM and INS-T2DM groups when compared to the NT-T2DM group. The Met-T2DM group and INS-T2DM group showed a significant difference in the transcript level of CASP1 and CCL5 which are more down-regulated in the Met-T2DM group compared to INS-T2DM group. These findings indicated that (a) in T2DM, expression of inflammation-related genes is up-regulated and (b) anti-inflammatory activity of metformin appears to be independent of its anti-hyperglycemic activity.
A stable added-mass partitioned (AMP) algorithm for elastic solids and incompressible flow

description: A stable added-mass partitioned (AMP) algorithm is developed for fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems involving viscous incompressible flow and compressible elastic solids. Deforming composite grids are used to effectively handle the evolving geometry and large deformations. The fluid is updated with an implicit-explicit (IMEX) fractional-step scheme whereby the velocity is advanced in one step, treating the viscous terms implicitly, and the pressure is computed in a second step. The AMP interface conditions for the fluid arise from the outgoing characteristic variables in the solid and are partitioned into a Robin (mixed) interface condition for the pressure, and interface conditions for the velocity. The latter conditions include an impedance-weighted average between fluid and solid velocities using a fluid impedance of a special form. A similar impedance-weighted average is used to define interface values for the solid. The new algorithm is verified for accuracy and stability on a number of useful benchmark problems including a radial-piston problem where exact solutions for radial and azimuthal motions are found and tested. Traveling wave exact solutions are also derived and numerically verified for a solid disk surrounded by an annulus of fluid. Fluid flow in a channel past a deformable solid annulus is computed and errors are estimated from a self-convergence grid refinement study. The AMP scheme is found to be stable and second-order accurate even for very difficult cases of very light solids.

description: Even though, the crystal structure of the intermediate (S') and the equilibrium S (Al2CuMg) phase were subject of many investigations by using mostly imaging or diffraction techniques, the results remain still controversial. In this study, we used X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAFS) to verify the correct structure considering the well-known models reported by Perlitz & Westgren (PW), Mondolfo, Radmilovic & Kilaas and Yan et al. The structure was confirmed by direct comparison to simulated XAFS spectra using the software tool FDMNES. Our results support the widely accepted PW model as the correct structure while other models do not match our observations.

Seven (and a half) reasons to believe in Mirror Matter: From neutrino puzzles to the inferred Dark matter in the Universe

description: Parity and time reversal are obvious and plausible candidates for fundamental symmetries of nature. Hypothesising that these symmetries exist implies the existence of a new form of matter, called mirror matter. The mirror matter theory (or exact parity model) makes four main predictions: 1) Dark matter in the form of mirror matter should exist in the Universe (i.e. mirror galaxies, stars, planets, meteoroids...), 2) Maximal ordinary neutrino - mirror neutrino oscillations if neutrinos have mass, 3) Orthopositronium should have a shorter effective lifetime than predicted by QED (in "vacuum" experiments) because of the effects of photon-mirror photon mixing and 4) Higgs production and decay rate should be 50% lower than in the standard model due to Higgs mirror - Higgs mixing (assuming that the seperation of the Higgs masses is larger than their decay widths). At the present time there is strong experimental/observational evidence supporting the first three of these predictions, while the fourth one is not tested yet because the Higgs boson, predicted in the standard model of particle physics, is yet to be found. This experimental/observational evidence is rich and varied ranging from the atmospheric and solar neutrino deficits, MACHO gravitational microlensing events, strange properties of extra-solar planets, the existence of "isolated" planets, orthopositronium lifetime anomaly, Tunguska and other strange "meteor" events including perhaps, the origin of the moon. The purpose of this article is to provide a not too technical review of these ideas along with some new results.

description: This tutorial is an introduction to techniques used to characterize the atmospheres of transiting exoplanets. We intend it to be a useful guide for the undergraduate, graduate student, or postdoctoral scholar who wants to begin research in this field, but who has no prior experience with transiting exoplanets. We begin with a discussion of the properties of exoplanetary systems that allow us to measure exoplanetary spectra, and the principles that underlie transit techniques. Subsequently, we discuss the most favorable wavelengths for observing, and explain the specific techniques of secondary eclipses and eclipse mapping, phase curves, transit spectroscopy, and convolution with spectral templates. Our discussion includes factors that affect the data acquisition, and also a separate discussion of how the results are interpreted. Other important topics that we cover include statistical methods to characterize atmospheres such as stacking, and the effects of stellar activity. We conclude by projecting the future utility of large-aperture observatories such as the James Webb Space Telescope and the forthcoming generation of extremely large ground-based telescopes.

description: Objective: To identify accurate occurrence and risk of cardiovascular (CV) events (stroke and myocardial infarction [MI]) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods: Systemic literature search in PubMed and additional manual search were performed to obtain interested studies until March 31, 2018. The pooled incidences and risk of stroke and MI were calculated. Results: A total of 24 studies were included in this meta-analysis. For MI, a total of 1,516 SLE patients were reported to had MI (n = 96,154) over a mean follow-up of 9.98 years: incidence 2.0% (95% CI: 1.7–2.4%), i.e. 0.20/100 pyrs; in the five studies, 360 SLE patients (n = 18,943) and 817 controls had MI (n = 111,525), revealing that the risk of MI in SLE population was 3.04 times higher than in the general population (RR = 3.04, 95% CI: 1.81–5.11). For stroke, the incidence of 17 studies during the 10.09 follow-up period using random model was 4.4% (95% CI: 3.6–5.1%), i.e. 0.44/100 pyrs; in the 7 studies, 694 SLE patients (n = 22,594) and 4,034 controls had stroke (n = 255,023), indicating that the risk of MI in SLE population was 1.95 times higher than that in the general population (RR = 1.95, 95% CI: 1.52–2.53). Conclusion: Based on the findings from previous reports, our meta-analysis showed that patients with SLE have been at higher risk of CV events.

description: In this paper, we consider semiparametric efficient inferences in the generalised partially linear models. A novel bias-corrected estimating procedure and a bias-corrected empirical log-likelihood ratio are developed, respectively, for point estimation and confidence regions for parameters of interest. Under mild conditions, the resulting likelihood ratio is shown to be standard chi-squared distributed asymptotically. Moreover, it is noteworthy that the range of bandwidth in this paper covers the optimal bandwidth due to the implementation of a new bias-corrected technique. Therefore, no undersmoothing is needed here for guaranteeing the asymptotically standard chi-squared distribution of the proposed statistic. Simulation study and real application are also provided in order to illustrate the performance of resulting procedure.

Polymer-Mode-Coupling Theory of Finite-Size-Fluctuation Effects in Entangled Solutions, Melts and Gels. II. Comparison with Experiment

description: The predictions of the polymer mode coupling theory for the finite size corrections to the transport coefficients of entangled polymeric systems are tested in comparisons with various experimental data. It is found that quantitative descriptions of the viscosities, eta, dielectric relaxation time, tau_e, and diffusion coefficients, D, of polymer melts can be achieved with two microscopic structural fit parameters whose values are in the range expected from independent theoretical or experimental information. An explanation for the (apparent) power law behaviors of eta, taue, and D in (chemically distinct) melts for intermediate molecular weights as arising from finite size corrections, mainly the self-consistent constraint release mechanism, is given. The variation of tracer dielectric relaxation times from Rouse to reptation-like behavior upon changes of the matrix molecular weight is analyzed. Self and tracer diffusion constants of entangled polymer solutions can be explained by the theory as well, if one further parameter of the theory is adjusted. The anomalous scaling of the tracer diffusion coefficients in semidilute and concentrated polystyrene solutions, D\sim N^{-2.5}, is predicted to arise due to the spatial correlations of the entanglement constraints, termed ``constraint porosity''. Extensions of the theory to polymer tracer diffusion through polyvinylmethylether and polyacrylamide gels provide an explanation of the observation of anomalously high molecular weight scaling exponents in a range where the size of the tracer, R_g, already considerably exceeds the gel pore size, xi_g.
