description: This paper estimates and compares generalized Box-Cox and composite cost functions to identify scale and scope economies. The robustness of the outcomes to different functional specifications was examined. Increasing returns to scale was common for product-specific and the overall measures. Generalized Leontief and composite forms yielded more robust elasticity, scale and scope measures. The generalized Box-Cox model was selected as the appropriate functional form as all the special cases were rejected.

description: By using long-range interacting polygons, we experimentally probe the coupling between particle shape and long-range interaction. For two typical space-filling polygons, square and triangle, we find two types of coupling modes that predominantly control the structure formation. Specifically, the rotational ordering of squares brings a lattice deformation that produces a hexagonal-to-rhombic transition in the high-density regime, whereas the alignment of triangles introduces a large geometric frustration that causes an order-to-disorder transition. Moreover, the two coupling modes lead to small and large "internal roughness" of the two systems, and thus predominantly control their structure relaxations. Our study thus provides a physical picture to the coupling between long-range interaction effect and short-range shape effect in the high-density regime unexplored before.

description: The higher bound on the mass of the Brout-Englert-Higgs scalar boson (BEH boson for brevity) arising from radiative corrections is not stable when the Standard Model is extended to include non-decoupling particles. In particular additional generation{s} of fermions allow for a heavier scalar. We investigate how the decay branchings of scalar boson are affected by the opening of new channels.

description: Non-universal scale transformations of the physical fields are extended to pure quantum fluids and used to calculate susceptibility, specific heat and the order parameter along the critical isochore of He3 near its liquid-vapor critical point. Within the so-called preasymptotic domain, where the Wegner expansion restricted to the first term of confluent corrections to scaling is expected valid, the results show agreement with the experimental measurements and recent predictions, either based on the minimal-substraction renormalization and the massive renormalization schemes within the $Φ\_{d=3}^{4}(n=1)$-model, or based on the crossover parametric equation of state for Ising-like systems.

description: We present a new technique to determine age and metallicity of old stellar populations (globular clusters and elliptical galaxies) using an iterative principal component analysis on narrow band (Strömgren) colors. Our technique is capable of reproducing globular cluster [Fe/H] values to 0.02 dex and CMD ages to 1.0 Gyrs. We also present preliminary results on the application of our technique to a sample of high mass, field ellipticals and low mass, cluster dwarf ellipticals. We confirm the results of earlier studies which find that globular clusters increase in metallicity with age and that age and metallicity increase with galaxy mass. However, we find that dwarf ellipticals deviate from the elliptical sequence by having little to no correlation between age and metallicity.

description: We report highly sensitive specific heat measurement on mesoscopic superconducting loops at low temperature. These mesoscopic systems exhibit thermal properties significantly different from that of the bulk materials. The measurement is performed on a silicon membrane sensor where 450 000 superconducting aluminium loops are deposited through electron beam lithography under an applied magnetic field. Each entry of a vortex is associated to a jump in the specific heat of few thousands of Boltzmann constant kB indicating the existence of phase transitions. The periodicity of this sequential phase transitions is a nontrivial behaviour and varies strongly as the temperature is decreased. The successive phase transitions are well described by the Ginzburg-Landau theory of superconductivity. The presence of metastable states is responsible for the n-0 (n=1, 2, 3...) periodicity of the discontinuities of the measured specific heat.

description: Simulations of possible regulation-related manure handling costs are compared to base scenario costs for the three main regions and phases of modern hog production over widely varying scale levels. The base scenario confirms previous research suggesting that in Iowa net benefits occur at small scale levels from injecting slurry stored in an outside earthern basin for corn production using a phosphorus standard. Increased transportation costs result in Iowa costs surpassing costs in Utah at higher scale levels, while costs in North Carolina are highest at all scale levels. Requiring systems to be lined and covered in Iowa and North Carolina results in proportionately greater increased costs per head in North Carolina. Adding the requirement that manure be applied according to a phosphorus standard increases costs proportionately more in Iowa at larger scale levels, but not at all at the smallest scale, and costs in Iowa surpass those in North Carolina at the largest scale. The results of all scenarios underscore the advantages enjoyed by Utah in manure handling because scales of operation there are among the largest.

The model uses Nebraska cropping system data for the period, 1986-2000. Results indicate lower efficiency gains are realized with the incorporation of risk. The t-test at the 5% level of significance examining if efficiency measures are significantly different from one is also reported.

description: When instantons are put into the Higgs phase, vortices are attached to instantons. We construct such composite solitons as 1/4 BPS states in five-dimensional supersymmetric U(Nc) gauge theory with Nf(>=Nc) fundamental hypermultiplets. We solve the hypermultiplet BPS equation and show that all 1/4 BPS solutions are generated by an Nc x Nf matrix which is holomorphic in two complex variables, assuming the vector multiplet BPS equation does not give additional moduli. We determine the total moduli space formed by topological sectors patched together and work out the multi-instanton solution inside a single vortex with complete moduli. Small instanton singularities are interpreted as small sigma-model lump singularities inside the vortex. The relation between monopoles and instantons in the Higgs phase is also clarified as limits of calorons in the Higgs phase. Another type of instantons stuck at an intersection of two vortices and dyonic instantons in the Higgs phase are also discussed.

description: We consider N=1, D=4 superconformal U(N)^{pq} Yang-Mills theories dual to AdS_5xS^5/Z_pxZ_q orbifolds. We construct the dilatation operator of this superconformal gauge theory at one-loop planar level. We demonstrate that a specific sector of this dilatation operator can be thought of as the transfer matrix for a two-dimensional statistical mechanical system, related to an integrable SU(3) anti-ferromagnetic spin chain system, which in turn is equivalent to a 2+1-dimensional string theory where the spatial slices are discretized on a triangular lattice. This is an extension of the SO(6) spin chain picture of N=4 super Yang-Mills theory. We comment on the integrability of this N=1 gauge theory and hence the corresponding three-dimensional statistical mechanical system, its connection to three-dimensional lattice gauge theories, extensions to six-dimensional string theories, AdS/CFT type dualities and finally their construction via orbifolds and brane-box models. In the process we discover a new class of almost-BPS BMN type operators with large engineering dimensions but controllably small anomalous corrections.

description: Ordering of the two incommensurate charge density waves (CDW), $\mathbf{q_1}$ = (0.0, 0.243, 0.0) and $\mathbf{q_2}$ = (0.5, 0.263,0.5) in the quasi-one-dimensional NbSe$_3$ structure is studied by means of low temperature scanning tunneling microscopy. Larger (100) van der Waals surfaces are analyzed using one-dimensional Fourier transforms along the three types of trigonal prismatic columns, running parallel to the monoclinic $\mathbf{b_0}$ direction. The procedure enables unambiguous differentiation between both CDWs modulating individual columns. In addition, it allows a quantitative comparison of modulation amplitudes along different columns of the same type and, in case of sufficiently large images, also along individual columns. It is confirmed that each CDW modulates both type-III and type-I columns with the narrowest isosceles bases. As a consequence beating is observed between the two slightly different modes. The bridging type-II columns appear not to be modulated. On a large scale the modulation amplitudes along individual columns vary, suggesting formation of CDW nanodomains. The possibility of interchanging both CDWs along columns forming symmetry-related pairs results in a charge difference, which might be the possible origin of CDW sliding.

description: We prove that for a Dirac operator with no resonance at thresholds nor eigenvalue at thresholds the propagator satisfies propagation and dispersive estimates. When this linear operator has only two simple eigenvalues close enough, we study an associated class of nonlinear Dirac equations which have stationary solutions. As an application of our decay estimates, we show that these solutions have stable directions which are tangent to the subspaces associated with the continuous spectrum of the Dirac operator. This result is the analogue, in the Dirac case, of a theorem by Tsai and Yau about the Schrödinger equation. To our knowledge, the present work is the first mathematical study of the stability problem for a nonlinear Dirac equation.

description: A replicated, small plot study on watermelon [Citrullus lanatus (Thunberg) Matsumura and Nakai] in 1997, 1999, and 2000 revealed that production management intensity affected yields and profitability of watermelon, in Oklahoma. Management intensity was based on a combination of cultural practices and levels of use of production methods. Low intensity management (LM) consisted of use of soil fertilization and weed control. High intensity management (HM) included the same weed control and fertilization as LM but also included use of plastic mulch, drip irrigation, insect pest control, and plant disease control. Cost and return analyses were based on the range of actual prices during the cropping season and the range of yields during the three years. Yields from the seedless triploid genotype 'Gem Dandy' consistently resulted in greater positive net revenue under HM than the diploid open pollinated 'Allsweet' or the hybrid diploid 'Sangria'. Under LM, yields from the seedless triploid also resulted in greater net revenues when conditions were favorable or lost less money than the open pollinated 'Allsweet' or the hybrid diploid 'Sangria' when conditions were unfavorable.

description: In Ziegler (2002), the second author presented a lower bound for the chromatic numbers of hypergraphs $\KG{r}{\pmb s}{\calS}$, "generalized $r$-uniform Kneser hypergraphs with intersection multiplicities $\pmb s$." It generalized previous lower bounds by Kriz (1992/2000) for the case ${\pmb s}=(1,...,1)$ without intersection multiplicities, and by Sarkaria (1990) for $\calS=\tbinom{[n]}k$. Here we discuss subtleties and difficulties that arise for intersection multiplicities $s_i>1$: 1. In the presence of intersection multiplicities, there are two different versions of a "Kneser hypergraph," depending on whether one admits hypergraph edges that are multisets rather than sets. We show that the chromatic numbers are substantially different for the two concepts of hypergraphs. The lower bounds of Sarkaria (1990) and Ziegler (2002) apply only to the multiset version. 2. The reductions to the case of prime $r$ in the proofs Sarkaria and by Ziegler work only if the intersection multiplicities are strictly smaller than the largest prime factor of $r$. Currently we have no valid proof for the lower bound result in the other cases. We also show that all uniform hypergraphs without multiset edges can be represented as generalized Kneser hypergraphs.

description: We analyze the finite-size scaling exponents in the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model by means of the Holstein-Primakoff representation of the spin operators and the continuous unitary transformations method. This combination allows us to compute analytically leading corrections to the ground state energy, the gap, the magnetization, and the two-spin correlation functions. We also present numerical calculations for large system size which confirm the validity of this approach. Finally, we use these results to discuss the entanglement properties of the ground state focusing on the (rescaled) concurrence that we compute in the thermodynamical limit.

description: We report our nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) study on the structurally spin chain compound Ni$_2$NbBO$_6$ with complex magnetic coupling. The antiferromagnetic transition is monitored by the line splitting resulting from the staggered internal hyperfine field. The magnetic coupling configuration proposed by the first-principle density functional theory (DFT) is supported by our NMR spectral analysis. For the spin dynamics, a prominent peak at $T\sim35$ K well above the Néel temperature ($T_N\sim20$ K at $μ_0H=10$ T) is observed from the spin-lattice relaxation data. As compared with the dc-susceptibility, this behavior indicates a antiferromagnetic coupling with the typical energy scale of $\sim3$ meV. Thus, the Ni$_2$NbBO$_6$ compound can be viewed as strongly ferromagnetically coupled armchair spin chains along the crystalline $b$-axis. These facts place strong constraints to the theoretical model for this compound.

description: Prominent trade disputes between Canada and the U.S. involve agriculture and forestry, with lack of transparency caused by Canadian non-market institutions a source of U.S. objections. Though there has been a recent flurry of activity in the binational dispute resolution panel on Canadian exports of wheat, one of every six panels since 1989 has involved softwood lumber. We examine lessons from the lumber dispute to shed light on U.S. objections to the Canadian Wheat Board (CWB). We argue that U.S. lumber lobbyists will continue to use perceived Canadian institutional obscurity to keep pressure on policymakers, while the CWB system enables similar agricultural interests in to agitate for trade sanctions. Traditional strategies such as dispute resolution boards, appeals to the WTO, and bilateral policy reform can only buy Canada time – new strategies are needed if Canada is to maintain sovereignty over its trade institutions.

description: This letter reports experimental and numerical results on particle dynamics in an out-of-equilibrium granular medium. We observed two distinct types of grain motion: the well known cage motion, during which a grain is always surrounded by the same neighbors, and low probability "jumps", during which a grain moves significantly more relative to the others. These observations are similar to the results obtained for other out-of-equilibrium systems (glasses, colloidal systems, etc.). Although such jumps are extremely rare, by inhibiting them in numerical simulations we demonstrate that they play a significant role in the relaxation of out-of-equilibrium systems

description: In this study, we explore whether projected socio-economic needs of the Little Red River Cree Nation (LRRCN) can be met using the natural resources to which they have access. To answer this question, we employ a dynamic optimization model to assess the capacity of the available forest base to provide for anticipated future needs of the LRRCN. Results for alternative management strategies indicate that decision-makers face significant tradeoffs in deciding an appropriate management strategy for the forestlands they control.

description: We consider the class of effective supergravity theories from the weakly coupled heterotic string in which local supersymmetry is broken by gaugino condensation in a hidden sector, with dilaton stabilization achieved through corrections to the classical dilaton Kähler potential. If there is a single hidden condensing (simple) gauge group, the axion is massless (up to contributions from higher dimension operators) above the QCD condensation scale. We show how the standard relation between the axion mass and its Planck scale coupling constant is modified in this class of models due to a contribution to the axion-gluon coupling that appears below the scale of supersymmetry breaking when gluinos are integrated out. In particular there is a point of enhanced symmetry in parameter space where the axion mass is suppressed. We revisit the question of the universal axion as the Peccei-Quinn axion in the light of these results, and find that the strong CP problem is avoided in most compactifications of the weakly coupled heterotic string.

description: The research reported here provides further empirical support for the contention that there is a divergence between WTA and WTP. The conclusion is based on results from a 2002 survey of Nevada ranchers that asked about willingness to pay for public forage and WTA compensation to part with grazing rights. WTP and WTA are estimated simultaneously, with the estimators used to demonstrate a statistically significant divergence between WTP and WTA. The simultaneous estimation allows us to identify ranch characteristics that influence the discrepancy in valuations. Ranch size, public grazing allotment, financial distress, and long term commitment to ranching are all significant influences on the disparity. We interpret these results both with respect to general differences in welfare measures and with respect to ranch policy.
The formation of type Ia supernovae from carbon-oxygen-silicon white dwarfs

description: The carbon-oxygen white dwarf (CO WD) + He star channel has been thought to be one of the promising scnarios to produce young type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). Previous studies found that if the mass-accretion rate is greater than a critical value, the He-accreting CO WD will undergo inwardly propagating (off-centre) carbon ignition when it increases its mass close to the Chandrasekhar limit. The inwardly propagating carbon flame was supposed to reach the centre by previous works, leading to the production of an oxygen-neon (ONe) WD that may collapse into a neutron star but not an SN Ia. However, it is still uncertain how the carbon flame propagates under the effect of mixing mechanisms. In the present work, we aim to investigate the off-centre carbon burning of the He-accreting CO WDs by considering the effect of convective mixing. We found that the temperature of the flame is high enough to burn the carbon into silicon-group elements in the outer part of the CO core even if the convective overshooting is considered, but the flame would quench somewhere inside the WD, resulting in the formation of a C-O-Si WD. Owing to the inefficiency of thermohaline mixing, the C-O-Si WD may explode as an SN Ia if it continues to grow in mass. Our radiation transfer simulations show that the SN ejecta with the silicon-rich outer layer will form high-velocity absorption lines in Si II, leading to some similarities to a class of the high-velocity SNe Ia in the spectral evolution. We estimate that the birthrate of SNe Ia with Si-rich envelope is ~ 10^(-4)/yr in our galaxy.

description: Additional file 1: Figure S1. Changes in the relative number of neutrophils above cutoff over the course of ruxolitinib therapy. (A) Cell size distribution of neutrophils upon treatment of CXCL1, representative of all stimuli conditions. Neutrophils were grouped according to their measured cell size in μm2 and binned from 25 μm2 to 725 μm2 with a bin width of 50 μm2. Relative frequency was computed by dividing the number of cells in a group by the number of cells in the entire image. The dashed grey line indicates the mean of the age- and gender-matched controls (n = 6), the blue line indicates the aCML neutrophils and the red dashed line indicates the cutoff of 225 μm2. Binning was performed with GraphPad Prism™. (B) Changes in the relative number of neutrophils with a cell size > 225 μm2 under the four stimulation conditions over the course of therapy. Black triangles and black solid lines indicate aCML neutrophils (every timepoint n = 1), while grey dots and grey dashed lines indicate the median and the grey dotted lines indicate the interquartile range of the age- and gender-matched controls (n = 6). On average, 41 and 56 cells per condition were analyzed in age- and gender-matched controls and the aCML patient, respectively. Numbers label the specific percentage of cells > 225 μm2 for the indicated timepoint.
Fluid flow through packed columns of cooked wood chips
Creators: name: Lee, Quak Foo

description: Kraft batch and continuous digesters are used to react wood chips with an alkali based liquor to remove lignin from the wood and release individual pulp fibres for further processing. Current operating strategies rely on contacting chips with liquors of different temperatures and compositions throughout the cook to optimize pulp quality and strength. This requires uniform liquor flow through the chip column. For batch digesters liquor must reach all chips in a timely manner as cooking conditions are changed. For continuous digesters this requires creation of distinct reaction zones (liquor flow zones) in the descending chip mass where effective chipliquor contacting is made. However, recent findings have shown that the liquor flow is likely non-uniform, particularly in larger digesters. Indications of this in continuous digesters include corrosion in the lower digester, temperature non-uniformity around the vessel circumference, and variation in kappa number produced as a function of time. A key parameter affecting liquor flow is the flow resistance through the chip bed as a function of operating conditions. In order to understand this, pressure drop was measured as a function of superficial velocity, void fraction, kappa number, and compacting pressure. White spruce chips were used in this study. The chips were characterized and cooked into four different furnishes defined as follows: 100% accepts, 87.5% accepts + 12.5% pins, 75% accepts + 25% pins, and 100% pins. The main results of these experiments are as follows. First, chips are more easily compressed as the lignin content (kappa number) of the chips decreases. The void fraction of the chip column decreases with decreased kappa number and increased compaction force applied to the chip column. Second, the flow resistance increases with decreased kappa number, increased superficial velocity, and increased compacting pressure. Furthermore, pressure drop was a function of the particle size distribution of the chips. The addition of pin chips to the accept chips could dramatically increase the pressure drop in the chip column. Indeed a mixture of chip types (75% accepts + 25% pins; 87.5% accepts + 12.5% pins) had a pressure drop greater than either pure pin or accept chips alone. Third, it was found that while a modified Ergun equation (according to Harkonen (1987)) could be used to correlate our experimental data, the predicted constants of Ri and R2 were larger than those predicted by the Harkonen equation and differed depending on the chip mixture and kappa number. Further, the use of d.32 (Sauter mean diameter of particle) for the chip particle size distribution did not permit the pressure drop to be correlated by the Ergun equation with constant values of A and B. These difficulties are likely due to the compressibility of the chip column, which is not accounted for in this analysis.
