Accretion of eroding pebbles and planetesimals in planetary envelopes

description: Wind erosion is a destructive mechanism that completely dissolves a weakly bound object like a planetesimal into its constituent particles, if the velocity relative to the ambient gas and the local gas pressure are sufficiently high. In numerical simulations we study the influence of such wind erosion on pebble and planetesimal accretion by a planetary body up to $10 R_\mathrm{Earth}$. Due to the rapid size reduction of an in-falling small body, the accretion outcome changes significantly. Erosion leads to a strong decrease in the accretion efficiency below a threshold size of the small body on the order of 10 m. This slows down pebble accretion significantly for a given size distribution of small bodies. The threshold radius of the small body increases with increasing planet radius and decreases with increasing semi-major axis. Within the parameters studied, an additional planetary atmosphere (up to 1 bar) is of minor importance.

description: This paper evaluates the distribution of short- and long-run marginal costs and quota rents across the EU-15 milk producers, by estimating a system of cost and input share equations on a panel data of dairy farms from 1996 to 2001. Regional and geographical location and the size of milk operations have been considered as the major factors affecting marginal costs. The results on quota rents highlights that Italian and Greek dairy farmers receive the highest economic rent (260 €/ton), while in Portugal the lowest (101 €/Kg) at least in the short-run. This is an indication that Italian and Greek milk supply would be the least 'sensitive' to a reduction in the intervention price. Several countries show negative long-run quota rents, indicating that in the long-run current market prices influence dairy farm's production plans.

They obtained conductance spectra on the c-axis surfaces of CeCoIn$_5$ single crystals. Their major claims are two-fold: CeCoIn$_5$ has i) d-wave pairing symmetry and ii) two coexisting order parameter components.

description: We present a generally-applicable computational framework for the efficient and accurate characterization of molecular structural patterns and acid properties in explicit solvent using H$_2$O$_2$ and CH$_3$SO$_3$H in phenol as an example. In order to address the challenges posed by the complexity of the problem, we resort to a set of data-driven methods and enhanced sampling algorithms. The synergistic application of these techniques makes the first-principle estimation of the chemical properties feasible without renouncing to the use of explicit solvation, involving extensive statistical sampling. Ensembles of neural network potentials are trained on a set of configurations carefully selected out of preliminary simulations performed at a low-cost density-functional tight-binding (DFTB) level. The energy and forces of these configurations are then recomputed at the hybrid density functional theory (DFT) level and used to train the neural networks. The stability of the NN model is enhanced by using DFTB energetics as a baseline, but the efficiency of the direct NN (i.e., baseline-free) is exploited via a multiple-time step integrator. The neural network potentials are combined with enhanced sampling techniques, such as replica exchange and metadynamics, and used to characterize the relevant protonated species and dominant non-covalent interactions in the mixture, also considering nuclear quantum effects.

description: The paper aims to present possible development visions for the rural areas in a candidate country to access the EU. The proposed objective is to provide a decision-making tool useful in strategic planning process, by designing models of integrated rural development, applicable at country or regional levels. The scenarios method was used to conceive alternatives for rural development and design scenario matrices, focusing on the institutional and socio-economic modules of analysis. The paper proposes a trend scenario, based on the potentials and constraints identified in the analysis phase, and 3 goal scenarios, based on distinctly different sets of goals or development visions. The expected outcome consists in development of the potential for economic diversification in rural areas emphasizing the creation of local/regional employment and income opportunities, in several alternatives supplied by different visions of development.

description: Now days in the pig industry as well as in other agro food sectors is the competitiveness that declare the success or failure on the global market. In the case of the pig industry, to be competitive it means to be able to offer a product of higher quality than rivals, but at similar price. The Danish pig industry has reached this level of competitiveness mainly thanks to its forward vertical integrated production chain. This specific coordination, besides than to reduce the transaction costs, push toward a production of excellent quality, that can be promptly adjusted according to the consumers demand.

description: We consider dominant 3-, 4-, and 5-loop contributions to $λ$, the quartic scalar coupling-constant's $β$-function in the Standard Model. We find that these terms accelerate the evolution of $λ$ to nonperturbative values, thereby lowering the unification bound for which scalar-couplings are still perturbative. We also find that these higher order contributions imply a substantial lowering of $λ$ itself before the anticipated onset of nonperturbative physics in the Higgs sector.

description: We present methods that generate cooperative strategies for multi-vehicle control problems using a decomposition approach. By introducing a set of tasks to be completed by the team of vehicles and a task execution method for each vehicle, we decomposed the problem into a combinatorial component and a continuous component. The continuous component of the problem is captured by task execution, and the combinatorial component is captured by task assignment. In this paper, we present a solver for task assignment that generates near-optimal assignments quickly and can be used in real-time applications. To motivate our methods, we apply them to an adversarial game between two teams of vehicles. One team is governed by simple rules and the other by our algorithms. In our study of this game we found phase transitions, showing that the task assignment problem is most difficult to solve when the capabilities of the adversaries are comparable. Finally, we implement our algorithms in a multi-level architecture with a variable replanning rate at each level to provide feedback on a dynamically changing and uncertain environment.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: The kinematic distributions of the lepton pairs produced in the decay of the Standard Model Higgs to ZZ and WW are related to the polarization fractions of the virtual vector bosons. The full amplitude can be decomposed analytically into a sum of polarized terms. Several observables, in particular the invariant mass of two charged leptons, one from each of the bosons, and the lepton angular distribution in the vector boson center of mass are shown to be sensitive to the boson polarizations.

description: In many developed countries, the share of wage employment out of the total agricultural labour force has been increasing for the last ten years. Using data from French agricultural censuses, we present an analysis of the factors that influence households' decisions about whether to work on the family farm or to work outside, and about the use of wage labour. Studying how the effects of these factors have varied between 1988 and 2000 enables us to highlight the different mechanisms that have led to an increase in permanent wage employment during that period. In particular, we show that family labour and permanent wage labour have become nearly equivalent in 2000, whereas that was not the case in 1988.

description: In this article, we study the blow-up of the damped wave equation in the \textit{scale-invariant case} and in the presence of two nonlinearities. More precisely, we consider the following equation: $$u_{tt}-Δu+\fracμ{1+t}u_t=|u_t|^p+|u|^q, \quad \mbox{in}\ \R^N\times[0,\infty), $$ with small initial data.\\ For $μ< \frac{N(q-1)}{2}$ and $μ\in (0, μ_*)$, where $μ_*>0$ is depending on the nonlinearties' powers and the space dimension ($μ_*$ satisfies $(q-1)\left((N+2μ_*-1)p-2\right) = 4$), we prove that the wave equation, in this case, behaves like the one without dissipation ($μ=0$). Our result completes the previous studies in the case where the dissipation is given by $\fracμ{(1+t)^β}u_t; \ β>1$ (\cite{LT3}), where, contrary to what we obtain in the present work, the effect of the damping is not significant in the dynamics. Interestingly, in our case, the influence of the damping term $\fracμ{1+t}u_t$ is important.

description: This paper aims to assess the role of non-tariff barriers (NTBs) for new member states (NMSs) exports in the agri-food sector, in the period just before the EU accession actually stepped into force. The assessment is based on a detailed sectoral gravity model, which was enhanced with inclusion of different categories of NTBs: sanitary and phytosanitary measures (SPS), quality measures and import certificates. While the first two categories have implications primarily on production costs, the last category relates to transaction costs. SPS and quality measures do not so much act as barriers to trade for NMSs agro-food exports in the period immediately before joining the single market (year 2003), and their diminishing role, confirmed by the use of gravity modelling technique rather reflects the progress made in implementing the acquis communautaire. In contrast, import certificates still act as a barrier to trade, for reasons relating to the transaction costs involved. While developing the model on the product level, prices and two ratios of competitiveness (bilateral, global) were introduced, by which the multilateral resistance to trade is indicated.

description: Electromagnetic pulses are typically treated as space-time (or space-frequency) separable solutions of Maxwell's equations, where spatial and temporal (spectral) dependence can be treated separately. In contrast to this traditional viewpoint, recent advances in structured light and topological optics have highlighted the non-trivial wave-matter interactions of pulses with complex topology and space-time non-separable structure, as well as their potential for energy and information transfer. A characteristic example of such a pulse is the "Flying Doughnut" (FD), a space-time non-separable toroidal few-cycle pulse with links to toroidal and non-radiating (anapole) excitations in matter. Here, we propose a quantum-mechanics-inspired methodology for the characterization of space-time non-separability in structured pulses. In analogy to the non-separability of entangled quantum systems, we introduce the concept of space-spectrum entangled states to describe the space-time non-separability of classical electromagnetic pulses and develop a method to reconstruct the corresponding density matrix by state tomography. We apply our method to the FD pulse and obtain the corresponding fidelity, concurrence, and entanglement of formation. We demonstrate that such properties dug out from quantum mechanics quantitatively characterize the evolution of the general spatiotemporal structured pulse upon propagation.

The candidates were selected from the SDSS (Sloan Digital Sky Survey) DA white dwarf stars with Teff obtained from the optical spectra fit, inside the ZZ Ceti instability strip. Considering these stars are multi-periodic pulsators and the pulsations propagate to the nucleus of the star, they carry information on the structure of the star and evolution of the progenitors. The ZZ Cetis discovered till 2003 are mainly within 100 pc from the Sun, and probe only the solar vicinity. The recently discovered ones, and those reported here, may sample a distinct population as they were selected mainly perpendicular to the galactic disk and cover a distance up to ~400pc.

description: Nanopores in solid state membranes are a tool able to probe nanofluidic phenomena or can act as a single molecular sensor. They also have diverse applications in filtration, desalination or osmotic power generation. Many of these applications involve chemical, or hydrostatic pressure differences, which act on both the supporting membrane and the ion transport through the pore. By using pressure differences between the sides of the membrane, and an alternating current approach to probe ion transport, we investigate two distinct physical phenomena: the elastic deformation of the membrane through the measurment of strain at the nanopore, and the growth of ionic current rectification with pressure due to pore entrance effects.

description: The self-assembled quantum dot with lens domain has rotational symmetry but it is intrinsically asymmetric when the electron moves perpendicularly to its circular base, {\it i. e.} along the rotational axis. To characterize this asymmetry, an external electric field is applied along the positive or negative direction of the rotational axis. We report the different Stark shifts appearing in the spectra as a function of the field intensity for different lens domains. It is shown that for a flat lens domain the asymmetry effects decrease, but even for very flat lenses they can not be approximated by a cylindrical domain. Finally, some optical properties such as the dielectric constant and electroabsorption are studied. Signatures of the energy spectrum reveal in these quantities. The importance of considering the proper lens domain as long as the magnitude and direction field to tune a specific level transition is stressed.

description: This study represents the first application of Choice Experiments to the analysis of the monetary and non-pecuniary determinants of vocational choice and spatial labor supply. It identifies the determinants of individual's choice of jobs and place of residence, and provides a better understanding of the process of rural labor adjustments in a country in transition, Slovenia. The results indicate that the effect of wages, as the main factor influencing employment choice, is counterbalanced by other determinants affecting working conditions and residence. A considerable degree of immobility in terms of migration and commuting has been revealed. As a result, a rapid urbanisation process is unlikely to happen in the near future, according to individuals' preferences.

description: The major objective of this study was to analyze and link the level of technical efficiency of Nigerian small-scale farmers to specific farmers' socio-economic and policy variables. Data were collected on 461 food crop farmers selected from five states of Southwestern Nigeria. The selection of respondent farmers was multi-stage and involved random sampling method, stratification as well as purposive sampling. The collected data were analyzed with the use of stochastic frontier production modeling technique. The results show that while farmers socio-economic and policy variables significantly influenced the level of technical efficiency, education has the highest marginal effect on technical efficiency while gender has the least marginal effect. The highest mean technical efficiency of 0.77 occurs among group of farmers within 7-12 years of schooling (secondary school education group) while the least mean technical efficiency (0.54) occurs within the category of farmers with years of schooling within 1-6 years. The findings of the study has a number of policy implications, including the need to formulate and implement agricultural policies that will enable farmers acquire basic education necessary to read, write and understand instructions on application and adoption of new farming innovations.

description: This contribution summarises the results on heavy-flavour correlations and jets measured with ALICE detector. Studies of D$^{0}$-tagged jets are presented in various collision systems and energies. The measurement of the fraction of jet momentum carried by the D$^{0}$ meson in the direction of the jet axis ($z_{\rm ||}^{\rm ch,jet}$) in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 5.02 and 13 TeV as well as the nuclear modification factor in p--Pb and Pb--Pb collisions are presented. The measurements of the production of jets tagged by electrons from heavy-flavour decays in pp and p--Pb are compared to expectations from POWHEG+PYTHIA8 simulations. The $p_{\rm T}$-differential cross section of b-tagged jets in p--Pb collisions is also reported and compared to expectations from POWHEG event generator. The azimuthal correlation of D mesons with charged particles in pp and p--Pb collisions are also presented.

description: This paper explores the inter-sectoral and land-use dynamics behind the development of bio-energy as a climate change policy through a computable general equilibrium (CGE) with a land use change (LUC) model. It assesses the economic and social costs of bio-energy development both in terms of the financial investment needed for its market penetration and in terms of the trade-offs its future supply will entail upon the land-use system. It analyzes how policies directed to develop bio-energy alters the pattern of energy mix and land utilization in the economy and how these changes in turn contribute to carbon dioxide (CO2) mitigation. Policies analyzed in the study include carbon tax with revenues recycled upon bio-energy subsidy and upon direct tax reductions. It presents as well the implications of extending the scope of carbon taxation to emissions from energy use and from land-use changes.

description: Astrometric observations of S-stars provide a unique opportunity to probe the nature of Sagittarius-A* (Sgr-A*). In view of this, it has become important to understand the nature and behavior of timelike bound trajectories of particles around a massive central object. It is known now that whereas the Schwarzschild black hole does not allow the negative precession for the S-stars, the naked singularity spacetimes can admit the positive as well as negative precession for the bound timelike orbits. In this context, we study the perihelion precession of a test particle in the Kerr spacetime geometry. Considering some approximations, we investigate whether the timelike bound orbits of a test particle in Kerr spacetime can have negative precession. In this paper, we only consider low eccentric timelike equatorial orbits. With these considerations, we find that in Kerr spacetimes, negative precession of timelike bound orbits is not allowed.

A hybrid hierarchical request-routing architecture for content internetworking
Creators: name: Gan, Ming
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Nowadays, the dominant majority of Internet traffic comprises of the distribution of static and media rich content. For efficient content access and delivery, contents from original (authoritative) servers are replicated in geographically distributed (surrogate) servers over the Internet. A content request is routed to an appropriate surrogate server "nearest" to the client in a content network. This thesis proposes a new hybrid request-routing architecture for Content Internetworking. By extending existing IP networking infrastructure to incorporate content intelligence, the new routing platform supports both IP-aware and content-aware services. The salient features of the architecture are two-fold: (i) the hierarchical content request-routing and resolution approach, and (ii) the hybrid IP-address based routing and name based routing. This novel architecture enjoys scalability and performance advantages, while maintaining compatibility with the traditional Internet architecture. A content networking test bed with a complete suite of content routing protocols is implemented to demonstrate the viability of the architecture and framework in terms of scalability and performance.

Productivity Analysis

description: Agricultural productivity measurement has been of great interest in recent years. Although analysts have long recognized that land quality plays an important role in agricultural productivity, land quality has been difficult to quantify and include in productivity models due to d ata limitations. Poor land quality, in the form of desertification, erosion, and poor soil quality, as well as climate and precipitation may limit growth in productivity over time. A Malmquist productivity index is proposed that decomposes productivity into efficiency change, technical change and land quality components and accounts for inter-country differences in land quality. The index is then applied to a 109-country data set covering 1980 to 2003. Many countries with lower productivity growth are limited by their resource endowment, and thus require policies and technology that reflect the needs of those environments.
Open Loop Pointing in Virtual Environments

description: The two visual systems hypothesis is a powerful neuroanatomical model of the relationship between visual perception and motor action. The hypothesis claims that two independent streams of visual processing within the human brain maintain independent representations of surrounding space. A cognitive stream of visual processing maintains an allocentric map of space, while a sensorimotor stream of visual processing maintains an egocentric map of space. The interactions between these two spatial maps are believed to be responsible for an apparent dissociation between cognitive (non-motor) and sensorimotor responses in numerous artificial settings. Substantial evidence supports the two visual systems hypothesis, ranging from case studies of patients with brain damage to psychophysical studies of normal subjects in tasks that involve the presence of visual illusions. Because even the most advanced virtual reality systems can unintentionally synthesize visual display artifacts that resemble common visual illusions, the two visual systems hypothesis may be helpful in guiding the design and evaluation of usable interaction techniques for complex virtual reality applications. The hypothesis suggests that inherently cognitive classes of interaction techniques, such as vocal interaction and closed loop (with visual feedback) pointing, are subject to particular execution errors, while inherently motor classes of interaction techniques, such as open loop (no visual feedback) pointing, are not. This thesis describes an experimental investigation of open loop and closed loop pointing compared to voice-based input in a large-scale interactive display. Experimental results verify that the unintentional illusory errors that are predicted by the two visual systems hypothesis appear with the use of vocal interaction in the presence of a visual illusion known as the Roelofs Effect. Similar response errors were found in closed loop pointing, but there were comparatively fewer illusory errors in open loop pointing. An examination of lag (temporal delay in visual feedback) yielded evidence that lag may also reduce the illusory response errors. These findings support our claim that the two visual systems hypothesis can be influential in improving the usability of virtual reality applications.

description: We construct the most generic three-charge, three-dipole-charge, BPS black-ring solutions in a Taub-NUT background. These solutions depend on seven charges and six moduli, and interpolate between a four-dimensional black hole and a five-dimensional black ring. They are also instrumental in determining the correct microscopic description of the five-dimensional BPS black rings.

description: Very little systematic analysis exists of the income generating strategies of Albanian households within the emerging market economy, and how this relates to income dynamics, people's mobility and poverty. Our results show that agricultural, migration and human capital assets have a differential impact across livelihood choices, and that this impact varies by gender and age. Two areas of policy concern derive from this analysis. First, migration is clearly crucial for the economic future of Albania, both in terms of financing economic development, serving as an informal safety net, and in reducing excess labour supply and poverty. The suggestion of a potential disincentive effect on labour effort and participation is however worrying, as it would have implications in terms of missed opportunities for development. Second, agriculture appears to be more of a survival strategy than part of a poverty exit strategy.

description: This article attempts to offer a broad perspective on the link between language, culture, and identity across a multiplex of social groups. The relationship between language endangerment, death, and the potential impact on cultural identity is examined. Through the analysis of four pertinent research studies, the microcosmic connection between language and cultural identity is explored in several contexts and across several cultural fields. In particular, the positive and negative effects of a person’s perceived dominant language is examined at length. The researchers conclude that language indeed impacts cultural identity, and vast collaborative efforts regarding language endangerment awareness, maintenance, and restoration need to be undertaken.
