description: A supermassive black hole (SMBH) ejected from the potential well of its host galaxy via gravitational wave recoil carries important information about the mass ratio and spin alignment of the pre-merger SMBH binary. Such a recoiling SMBH may be detectable as an active galactic nucleus (AGN) broad line region offset by up to 10\,kpc from a disturbed host galaxy. We describe a novel methodology using forward modeling with \texttt{The Tractor} to search for such offset AGN in a sample of 5493 optically variable AGN detected with the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF). We present the discovery of 9 AGN which may be spatially offset from their host galaxies and are candidates for recoiling SMBHs. Five of these offset AGN exhibit double-peaked broad Balmer lines which may arise from unobscured accretion disk emission and four show radio emission indicative of a relativistic jet. The fraction of double-peaked emitters in our spatially offset AGN sample is significantly larger than the 16\% double-peaked emitter fraction observed for ZTF AGN overall. In our sample of variable AGN we also identified 52 merging galaxies, including a new spectroscopically confirmed dual AGN. Finally, we detected the dramatic rebrightening of SDSS1133, a previously discovered variable object and recoiling SMBH candidate, in ZTF. The flare was accompanied by the re-emergence of strong P-Cygni line features indicating that it may be an outbursting luminous blue variable star.

A Field Theory Model With a New Lorentz-Invariant Energy Scale
Creators: name: Konopka, Tomasz
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A framework is proposed that allows to write down field theories with a new energy scale while explicitly preserving Lorentz invariance and without spoiling the features of standard quantum field theory which allow quick calculations of scattering amplitudes. If the invariant energy is set to the Planck scale, these deformed field theories could serve to model quantum gravity phenomenology. The proposal is based on the idea, appearing for example in Deformed Special Relativity, that momentum space could be curved rather than flat. This idea is implemented by introducing a fifth dimension and imposing an extra constraint on physical field configurations in addition to the mass shell constraint. It is shown that a deformed interacting scalar field theory is unitary. Also, a deformed version of QED is argued to give scattering amplitudes that reproduce the usual ones in the leading order. Possibilities for experimental signatures are discussed, but more work on the framework's consistency and interpretation is necessary to make concrete predictions.

description: The Dirac equation for an electron in the central Coulomb field of a point-like nucleus with the charge greater than 137 is considered. This singular problem, to which the fall-down onto the centre is inherent, is addressed using a new approach, based on a black-hole concept of the singular centre and capable of producing cut-off-free results. To this end the Dirac equation is presented as a generalized eigenvalue boundary problem of a self-adjoint operator. The eigenfunctions make complete sets, orthogonal with a singular measure, and describe particles, asymptotically free and delta-function-normalizable both at infinity and near the singular centre $r=0$. The barrier transmission coefficient for these particles responsible for the effects of electron absorption and spontaneous electron-positron pair production is found analytically as a function of electron energy and charge of the nucleus. The singular threshold behaviour of the corresponding amplitudes substitutes for the resonance behaviour, typical of the conventional theory, which appeals to a finite-size nucleus.

description: We search for dark matter annihilation from galaxy clusters in the energy range from 1-300 GeV using nearly 16 years of Fermi-LAT data. For this purpose, we use 350 galaxy clusters selected from the 2500 $\rm{deg^2}$ SPT-SZ survey. We model the dark matter distribution using the NFW profile for the main halo along with the Einasto profile for the substructure. The largest signal is seen for the cluster SPT-CL J2021-5257 with a significance of around $3σ$. The best-fit dark matter mass and annihilation cross-section for this cluster are equal to $(60.0 \pm 11.8)$ GeV and $\langle σv \rangle= (6.0 \pm 0.6) \times 10^{-25} \rm{cm^3 s^{-1}}$ for the $\bar{b} b$ annihilation channel. However, this central estimate is in conflict with the limits on annihilation cross-section from dwarf spheroidal galaxies, and hence cannot be attributed to dark matter annihilation. Three other clusters show significance between $2-2.5σ$, whereas all the remaining clusters show null results. The most stringent 95\% c.l. upper limit for the WIMP annihilation cross-section among all the clusters is from SPT-CL J0455-4159, viz. $\langle σv \rangle = 6.44 \times 10^{-26} \text{cm}^3 \text{s}^{-1}$ for $m_χ = 10$ GeV and $b\bar{b}$ annihilation channel.

description: The objective of this research is to investigate whether agricultural cooperatives can facilitate smallholder farmer access to input and product markets. Farmers in two case study communal areas of KwaZulu-Natal face high transaction costs as reflected primarily in their low levels of education and literacy, lack of market information, insecure property rights, poor road and communication infrastructure, and long distances to markets. Analysis of the reasons why cooperatives were originally established in various parts of the world suggests that most of the causes (such as poverty, market failure and high transaction costs) also apply to the study farmers, as do the seven international principles of cooperation. Smallholder farmers in both case study regions have the potential to grow high-value crops such as vegetables, fruit and cut flowers. In the supply chain from farm to market, the optimum boundary for each organization involved in the chain (e.g. cooperative and investor-oriented firm) depends on the minimum operational and transaction costs for each business.
Efimov effect at the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang roughening transition

description: Surface growth governed by the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation in dimensions higher than two undergoes a roughening transition from smooth to rough phases with increasing the nonlinearity. It is also known that the KPZ equation can be mapped onto quantum mechanics of attractive bosons with a contact interaction, where the roughening transition corresponds to a binding transition of two bosons with increasing the attraction. Such critical bosons in three dimensions actually exhibit the Efimov effect, where a three-boson coupling turns out to be relevant under the renormalization group so as to break the scale invariance down to a discrete one. On the basis of these facts linking the two distinct subjects in physics, we predict that the KPZ roughening transition in three dimensions shows either the discrete scale invariance or no intrinsic scale invariance.

Alternative genders in the Coast Salish world : paradox and pattern
Creators: name: Young, Jean C.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The concern of this thesis is the position of people of alternative genders in Coast Salish culture, not only in the past, but in the present. How were individuals with such a difference treated? What forces constrained them? What factors afforded them opportunity? Were such genders even recognized? With these questions in mind, field work was conducted with the permission of the Std: Id Nation throughout the summer of 1998. This paper is based on interviews conducted then and subsequent interviews with people from other Coast Salish groups. In addition, local ethnographic materials—with reference to field notes whenever possible—and traditional stories were analyzed from the perspective of Coast Salish epistemology. Alternative genders need to be understood foremost in the cultural contexts in which they occur, only then can comparisons proceed from a secure foundation. Research revealed a paradoxical situation. Oral traditions in which the alternately gendered are despised, occur side-by-side with traditions in which such people were honoured for the special powers they possessed. Individuals and families operated in the space generated by this paradox, playing the "serious games" to which Ortner alludes (1996:12-13). The absence of a "master narrative" in Coast Salish culture accounts for some, but not all of these contradictions. Equally relevant are persistent patterns of secrecy, personal autonomy, kin solidarity, differential status, and differential gender flexibility that both restrict the social field and offer stress points that were, and are, manipulated in individual and collective strategies. Given a world view in which transformation was the norm, and in which the disadvantaged could become powerful overnight by revealing the power they had hidden, some alternatively gendered people were able to maximize their potential and become significant forces. No formal roles offered sanction, instead an ad hoc approach marked the response to alternative genders and the outcome rested on the position of the individual and her/his family, and their ability to maneuver within multiple constraints. It was this potential to transform a stigmatized status into an honoured role that made the position of the alternatively gendered paradoxical.
Quantum black hole spectroscopy: probing the quantum nature of the black hole area using LIGO-Virgo ringdown detections

description: We present a thorough observational investigation of the heuristic quantised ringdown model presented in Foit & Kleban (2019). This model is based on the Bekenstein-Mukhanov conjecture, stating that the area of a black hole horizon is an integer multiple of the Planck area $l_P^2$ multiplied by a phenomenological constant, $α$, which can be viewed as an additional black hole intrinsic parameter. Our approach is based on a time-domain analysis of the gravitational wave signals produced by the ringdown phase of binary black hole mergers detected by the LIGO and Virgo collaboration. Employing a full Bayesian formalism and taking into account the complete correlation structure among the black hole parameters, we show that the value of $α$ cannot be constrained using only GW150914, in contrast to what was suggested in Foit & Kleban (2019). We proceed to repeat the same analysis on the new gravitational wave events detected by the LIGO and Virgo Collaboration up to 1 October 2019, obtaining a combined-event measure equal to $α= 15.6^{+20.5}_{-13.3}$ and a combined log odds ratio of $0.1 \pm 0.6$, implying that current data are not informative enough to favour or discard this model against general relativity. We then show that using a population of $\mathcal{O}(20)$ GW150914-like simulated events - detected by the current infrastructure of ground-based detectors at their design sensitivity - it is possible to confidently falsify the quantised model or prove its validity, in which case probing $α$ at the few % level. Finally we classify the stealth biases that may show up in a population study.

description: A junction of two 2/3 fractional quantum Hall (FQH) edges, with no charge tunneling between them, may exhibit Anderson localization of neutral modes. Manifestations of such localization in transport properties of the junction are explored. There are two competing localization channels, ``neutral-mode superconductivity'' and ``neutral-mode backscattering''. Localization in any of these channels leads to an effective theory of the junction that is characteristic for FQH effect of bosons, with a minimal integer excitation charge equal to two, and with elementary quasiparticle charge equal to 2/3. These values can be measured by studying shot noise in tunneling experiments. Under the assumption of ballistic transport in the arms connecting the junction to contacts, the two-terminal conductance of the junction is found to be 4/3 for the former localization channel and 1/3 for the latter. The four-terminal conductance matrix reveals in this regime a strong quantized drag between the edges induced by neutral-mode localization. The two localization channels lead to opposite signs of the drag conductance, equal to $\pm 1/4$, which can also be interpreted as a special type of Andreev scattering. Coherent random tunneling in arms of the device (which are segments of 2/3 edges) leads to strong mesoscopic fluctuations of the conductance matrix. In the case of fully equilibrated arms, transport via the junction is insensitive to neutral-mode localization: The two-terminal conductance is quantized to 2/3 and the drag is absent.

description: As low income countries throughout the world search for means to eradicate poverty and human suffering, great attention has focused on the impact that full development of a nation's natural resources can have, in the attainment of a high degree of economic independence. In recent years, a valuable type of developmental effort has come under scrutiny, following recognition of the fact that no matter how poor the people within an area, an abundant, self-perpetuating resource exists: the nectar and pollen of flowering plants. Unlike other natural reserves, such as oil or minerals, neither human nor machine can efficiently collect these substances for processing and/or subsequent use. Rather, due to the minute quantities of plant nectars and pollens at each flower site, man must depend significantly upon a group of insects belonging to the scientific genus Apis, and commonly termed "honeybees," to do the collecting and processing for him. Through effective management of honeybee colonies, the products of beehives and the positive pollination effects of bees' presence in agricultural areas can function as an important economic stimulus. This paper will elucidate the economic value of the development of beekeeping throughout the world, emphasizing the special meaning such progress has for low and middle income nations.

description: Secondo l’ipotesi avanzata da Anja Bettenworth, nel cosiddetto Carme dei fratelli Saffo si rivolge probabilmente a una nutrice anziché alla madre. Alla luce di ciò, il termine omerico μαῖα potrebbe essere recuperato nel frammentario adonio di P.Oxy. 2289. Inoltre, i paralleli omerici riscontrabili nel carme di Saffo inducono a pensare che questa traesse ispirazione da alcuni passaggi dell’Odissea, cosa che sembra giustificare tale integrazione.

description: Ground state and finite temperature properties of a system of coupled frustrated and/or dimerized spin-1/2 chains modeling e.g. the CuGeO$_3$ compound are reviewed. Special emphasis is put on the investigation of the role of impurity doping. A c hain-mean field computation combining exact diagonalisations of the chain hamiltonians together with a mean field treatment of the weak interchain couplings is performed in order to map the microscopic model onto a low-energy effective model. The latter descr ibes a 2-dimensional system of effective spin-1/2 local moments interacting by spacially anisotropic long range spin exchange interactions. An extensive study of this effective model is performed by Stocastic Series Expansion Quantum Monte Carlo for a wide range of temperatures and impurity concentrations. Interesting scaling behaviors of the uniform and staggered spin susceptibilities (above a small ordering Neel temperature due to a residual 3D coupling) can be interpreted in terms of the formation of large clusters of correlated spins carrying a finite magnetization. Such results are reproduced satisfactorily by a new Real Space RG enabling to deal with long range interactions in two-dimensions

Platone interprete di se stesso.  «Menone» 98a alla luce di «Fedro» 249b-c

Publisher: name: ACME
Year: 1970

description: La definizione di ἐπιστήμη come ὀρθὴ δόξα legata αἰτίας λογισμῷ, che compare in Menone 98a, presenta notevoli difficoltà interpretative non solo per quanto riguarda l’identificazione dell’αἰτία, ma anche per la possibilità o meno di scorgere sullo sfondo di tale enunciazione la teoria delle Idee (nella versione dei cosiddetti “dialoghi della maturità”). La questione può essere affrontata sia considerando il controverso passo all’interno del contesto più ampio del dialogo (dove compare per la prima volta la teoria dell’ἀνάμνησις, che alla teoria delle Idee è strettamente legata), ma anche in relazione a passi di altri dialoghi platonici, in particolare Fedro 249b-c: qui, dove l’epistemologia platonica si sviluppa secondo la teoria delle Idee, la volontà di Platone di alludere direttamente a Menone 98a sembra offrire una chiave interpretativa anche per quella precedente formulazione. La necessità di leggere ogni dialogo secondo le sue specificità (periodo di composizione, argomento principale, tipologia dei personaggi coinvolti) non esclude infatti che, almeno in alcuni casi, Platone stabilisca dei collegamenti che consentano una continuità di lettura nel percorso di sviluppo del suo pensiero.

description: A microwave SQUID multiplexer ($μ$MUX) has been optimized for coupling to large arrays of superconducting transition-edge sensor (TES) bolometers. We present the scalable cryogenic multiplexer chip design in a 1820-channel multiplexer configuration for the 4-8 GHz rf band. The key metrics of yield, sensitivity, and crosstalk are determined through measurements of 455 readout channels, which span 4-5 GHz. The median white-noise level is 45 pA/$\sqrt{\textrm{Hz}}$, evaluated at 2 Hz, with a 1/f knee $\leq$ 20 mHz after common-mode subtraction. The white-noise level decreases the sensitivity of a TES bolometer optimized for detection of the cosmic microwave background at 150 GHz by only 3%. The measured crosstalk between any channel pair is $\leq$ 0.3%.

description: The companion to PSR J1622-0315, one of the most compact known redback millisecond pulsars, shows extremely low irradiation despite its short orbital period. We model this system to determine the binary parameters, combining optical observations from NTT in 2017 and NOT in 2022 with the binary modeling code ICARUS. We find a best-fit neutron star mass of $2.3 \pm 0.4\,\text{M}_\odot $, and a companion mass of $0.15 \pm 0.02\,\text{M}_\odot$. We detect for the first time low-level irradiation from asymmetry in the minima as well as a change in the asymmetry of the maxima of its light curves over five years. Using star spot models, we find better fits than those from symmetric direct heating models, with consistent orbital parameters. We discuss an alternative scenario where the changing asymmetry is produced by a variable intrabinary shock. In summary, we find that PSR J1622-0315 combines low irradiation with variable light curve asymmetry, and a relatively high neutron star mass.

EXPLORING FIRM DYNAMICS: THE CASE OF SMALL-SCALE MANUFACTURING IN AFRICA

Year: 1989
Subjects: Industrial Organization

description: This paper examines the dynamics of small-scale manufacturing enterprises in Africa. In order to understand the evolution of individual firms within the industrialization process, intertemporal firm level data is necessary. Several new insights on African enterprise dynamics emerge from the data. The vast majority of new firms are micro enterprises, which, as per capita income grows, appear increasingly in larger localities. Closure rates are highest for micro enterprises, and lowest for the largest firms. Moreover, the likelihood of closure is highest in the initial three to four years of a firms' existence, after which a firm has a substantially higher chance of survival. In terms of firm expansion, relatively few African micro enterprises graduate through the size structure, rather most remain micro firms. Similarly, the majority of modern small and medium enterprises do not emerge from the large pool of micro enterprises, but originate as larger firms. Future studies of firm dynamics framed by an understanding of the economic and policy environment in which firms evolve.

description: The in incidence of prime-age adult death is increasing as a result of HIV/AIDS and opportunistic infections. Because of these increases, the ability of smallholders to increase food security and maintain current on and off-farm activities is more constrained than ever. Using panel data, this paper empirically examines the effects of disease-related adult death on small farm households in Kenya. With increasing pressure on land and resources, the strategies employed by these households are currently centered around maintaining household composition consistent with their needs for household and farm labor. The demographic crisis being faced in some areas of Kenya is not repeated across all districts at this time. Government and non-government entities must shape policy and programs to stop adult death from becoming an extensive crisis, and to off-set the food insecurity created by loss of productive labor and increased dependency ratios.

description: This study attempts to explain the variation in aggregate crop acreage in Argentina in the period 1960-97. It improves on previous studies by incorporating an expected yield variable and input price variables, extending the period of analysis, and attempting an aggregate crop acreage supply-response, of six crops. A single equation model is developed and the naive, moving average and simple weighted average price expectation mechanisms-are examined. Results show that a moving average specification of price expectation accounts better for the data.

description: Il presente articolo riporta alla luce un contributo dimenticato di Edmondo De Amicis al dibattito post-unitario intorno alla scuola, avviato dalla Relazione manzoniana. In dialogo con quest’ultima e con la letteratura pedagogica coeva, Una proposta al ministro dell’istruzione pubblica (1869) auspica la realizzazione di un libro per gli allievi della scuola primaria, calibrato per i contenuti e per la lingua sulle risorse mentali dei piccoli lettori. Con l’ausilio di alcuni stralci epistolari finora inediti, il presente intervento contestualizza lo scritto deamicisiano, in relazione alla biografia storico-letteraria dello scrittore e al dibattito linguistico e educativo coevo, offrendone infine una trascrizione.

description: The "Office du Niger" (ON) is the largest irrigated rice production area in Mali. In the ON, the use of chemical fertilizers is recommended in the cultivation of improved varieties of rice in all production systems. Given the importance of chemical fertilizer in rice production in the ON, surprisingly little is known about the impact of the fertilizer sub-sector reform program on the demand for fertilizers and the capacity of the ON to support a private-sector fertilizer distribution system. Insights into these questions will ultimately help in assessing the potential for a vibrant and sustainable chemical fertilizer subsector in the ON. The primary objective of this paper is to describe how to carry out a study to assess the impact of the fertilizer reform program on the demand for fertilizer in the Office du Niger. It is planned that data will be collected from both primary and secondary sources in order to implement the proposed models and their extensions. Primary data will be collected from a stratified sample of 30 farms in each rice production system in the ON. Secondary data will be collected by consulting relevant reports written about the ON. Empirical models based on the conventional linear programming framework will be built to represent a typical household in each rice production system in the ON. The models will be run using two types of price vectors: the input prices at the farm gate in the ON before and after the devaluation of the FCFA currency. In each case, it is possible to derive the aggregate potential demand for fertilizer by varying its price. As the price of fertilizer varies, different levels of input use become optimal and, in consequence, a series of price-quantity relationships is developed. The risk of yield variability in food crops and income variability from crop sales resulting from weather and prices will be incorporated through use of the minimization of total absolute deviation (MOTAD) model as developed by Hazell in 1971. The results from the analysis should provide insights about the incentives for farmers to use chemical fertilizers and the capacity of the ON to support a private sector fertilizer distribution system.
Deformations of Special Lagrangian Submanifolds; An Approach via Fredholm Alternative

description: In an earlier paper, we showed that the moduli space of deformations of a smooth, compact, orientable special Lagrangian submanifold L in a symplectic manifold X with a non-integrable almost complex structure is a smooth manifold of dimension H^1(L), the space of harmonic 1-forms on L. We proved this first by showing that the linearized operator for the deformation map is surjective and then applying the Banach space implicit function theorem. In this paper, we obtain the same surjectivity result by using a different method, the Fredholm Alternative, which is a powerful tool for compact operators in linear functional analysis.

description: Largely known for attack scenarios, code reuse techniques at a closer look reveal properties that are appealing also for program obfuscation. We explore the popular return-oriented programming paradigm under this light, transforming program functions into ROP chains that coexist seamlessly with the surrounding software stack. We show how to build chains that can withstand popular static and dynamic deobfuscation approaches, evaluating the robustness and overheads of the design over common programs. The results suggest a significant amount of computational resources would be required to carry a deobfuscation attack for secret finding and code coverage goals.

Year: 1982
Subjects: Research Methods/ Statistical Methods

description: This paper has a broad topic: the use of modeling as an area of common interest and as a bridge for research between agricultural biological scientists and agricultural economisits. The thesis is that modeling is a tool which offers some unique properties, both in itself for addressing research problems and as a mechanism for communication. To demonstrate this position, examples of current and projected uses of models in the various plant sciences and in agricultural economics will be discussed. Suggestions will be made as to how both groups of researchers can benefit from working together on models. Lastly some suggestions will be made as to how scientists and social scientists from various disciplines can work together as teams.
Il poeta e la rivoluzione. Ancora qualche piccola nota sui «pochi versi inediti» manzoniani
Creators: name: De Francesco, Antonino

Year: 1970

description: Il saggio torna sull’annosa questione della datazione del Marzo 1821, per dimostrare che, contrariamente a quanto sin qui accettato, la dedica dell’opera al poeta tedesco Theodor Körner conferma come, anche in questo caso, Manzoni ripetutamente tornasse sulla propria scrittura e costantemente la rivedesse. L’errore circa il luogo in cui cadde Körner – benché noto, ma mai approfondito – chiarisce come Manzoni venisse a conoscenza di quelle vicende solo negli anni immediatamente precedenti il 1848 e quanto fossero le concomitanti vicende rivoluzionarie, d’Italia come di Germania, a suggerirgli di dedicare l’ode al poeta tedesco. L’analisi del testo consente inoltre, nella seconda parte del saggio, di rileggere la posizione del Manzoni rispetto al tema dell’unità italiana: distinguendosi da Gioberti e Rosmini, egli avrebbe tenuto fermo sul portato della stagione napoleonica nella costruzione dell’identità nazionale.

Globular cluster orbital decay in dwarf galaxies with MOND and CDM: Impact of supernova feedback

description: Dynamical friction works very differently for Newtonian gravity with dark matter and in modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND). While the absence of dark matter considerably reduces the friction in major galaxy mergers, analytic calculations indicate the opposite for very small perturbations, such as globular clusters (GCs) sinking in dwarf galaxies. Here, we study the decay of GCs in isolated gas-rich dwarf galaxies using simulations with the Phantom of Ramses code, which enables both the Newtonian and the QUMOND MOND gravity. We modeled the GCs as point masses, and we simulated the full hydrodynamics, with star formation and supernovae feedback. We explored whether the fluctuations in gravitational potential caused by the supernovae can prevent GCs from sinking toward the nucleus. For GCs of typical mass or lighter, we find that this indeed works in both Newtonian and MOND simulations. The GC can even make a random walk. However, we find that supernovae cannot prevent massive GCs ($M\geq 4\times10^5\,M_\odot$) from sinking in MOND. The resulting object looks similar to a galaxy with an offset core, which embeds the sunk GC. The problem is much milder in the Newtonian simulations. This result thus favors Newtonian over QUMOND gravity, but we note that it relies on the correctness of the difficult modeling of baryonic feedback. We propose that the fluctuations in the gravitational potential could be responsible for the thickness of the stellar disks of dwarf galaxies and that strong supernova winds in modified gravity can transform dwarf galaxies into ultra-diffuse galaxies.

description: One of the goals emphasized in Senegal's new Agricultural Policy is to intensify agricultural production with aim of approaching food self-sufficiency. This thesis examines the potential of animal traction to evaluate if it represents an appropriate technology to achieve this goal. Animal traction was evaluated to observe if the potential benefits- improvement in yield, cropping intensity, area, profits, human drudgery, and labor productivity- were being accrued to farmers in two zones in the Lower Casamance Region of Senegal. The main conclusion of the study is that farmers who have access to animal traction chose to expand upland production rather than production per unit area. The benefits, therefore, were due to expansion rather then intensification.
