description: [fol. 67] A Monsieur Séguier

[Rességuier]

Nîmes, cité célèbre en prodiges féconds, de tous tes monuments qu’elle fit la splendeur ! Vingt siècles écoulés, de la reine du monde, leurs ruines encore attestent la grandeur. Le savant, qu’étonnait leur noble architecture, n’y pouvait admirer que des marbres muets : mais du génie enfin, Séguier d’une main sûre arrachant son flambeau, perce la nuit obscure qui couvrait à nos yeux ces sublimes objets.
Des outrages du temps réparateur illustre, la gloire a dû payer tant de travaux heureux. Elle a gravé son nom près de ces noms fameux dont tes brillants efforts ont ranimé le lustre.

Je ne suis pas, Monsieur, trop content de ces vers, mais [fol. 67v] j’ai l’honneur de vous les envoyer parce qu'ils prouvent au moins combien je fais cas de votre mérite et qu’ils peuvent toujours être regardés comme un hommage. Je vous l’eusse offert bien plus volontiers, s’il était plus digne de vous.
Je ne passerai pas la journée sans jouir de votre conversation toujours utile et toujours intéressante. Préparez vos commissions pour la Provence. Je pars demain.

 Le bailli de Rességuier

description: Charles James Samson was my grandfather. The following extract is taken from the Islington and Holloway and St Pancras Gazette, 23 May 1941: "Popular Railwayman's return home costs him his lifeImpressive funeral scenes Mr C J Samson, a well known St Pancras railwayman, who had many friends in the Malden Road Kentish Town district, used to say that his house, No.1, would always stand. Bombs fell very near, but Mr Samson's prophetic words proved true.

The tragedy is that Mr Samson was not in the house at the time. He was visiting his daughter and her husband, Mr & Mrs Baker, who lived a few doors away, when a bomb demolished their house and that of a neighbour. Mr and Mrs Baker had moved into the house only that week. All three were killed.Mr Samson was held in great affection by his neighbours, friends and railwaymen colleagues - he was chief shunter at Cricklewood and had served 43 years with the LMS company.An indication of his popularity was provided when the funeral took place at Finchley cemetery on Monday.Crowds lined the streets as the three hearses, covered with flowers - there were about eighty wreaths, including tributes from LMS colleagues, from the workers of a large factory where Mrs Baker was employed and from neighbours- passed by the scene of the tragedy. Women came to the gates of their damaged homes to show their silent sympathy with the bereaved relatives. Demolition workers engaged on the site paused and bared their heads in reverent silence. On the way to the bombed site the cortege had halted outside a nearby factory where 300 of Mrs Baker's colleagues lined the footway to pay their last respects. It was an impressive spectacle .Through the various streets of the borough where Mr Samson was particularly well known because of his railway associations and family connections, the cortege passed on its way to Finchley amid scenes of mourning everywhere.At the Gypsy Queen public house, a favourite resort of St Pancras railwaymen, Mr Samson was particularly well known and customers and the licensee sent beautiful floral tributes.Mrs Samson has been in hospital for the past eight or nine months and Mr Samson was not living at his own home. Circumstances of duty made it imperative for him to be in the district on that fateful Saturday night. He came there only to be able to reach his work on the Sunday morning.His house, no. 1, still stands by itself at the the side of a large clearing where a row of similar houses once stood."

description: The spatial distribution of oxygen in the interstellar medium of galaxies is the key to understanding how efficiently metals that are synthesized in massive stars can be redistributed across a galaxy. We present here a case study in the nearby spiral galaxy NGC1365 using 3D optical data obtained in the TYPHOON Program. We find systematic azimuthal variations of the HII region oxygen abundance imprinted on a negative radial gradient. The 0.2 dex azimuthal variations occur over a wide radial range of 0.3 to 0.7 R25 and peak at the two spiral arms in NGC1365. We show that the azimuthal variations can be explained by two physical processes: gas undergoes localized, sub-kpc scale self-enrichment when orbiting in the inter-arm region, and experiences efficient, kpc scale mixing-induced dilution when spiral density waves pass through. We construct a simple chemical evolution model to quantitatively test this picture and find that our toy model can reproduce the observations. This result suggests that the observed abundance variations in NGC1365 are a snapshot of the dynamical local enrichment of oxygen modulated by spiral-driven, periodic mixing and dilution.

description: My uncle, Bill McEwan, wrote a privately published memoir of his highly varied career in WWII ('A Walk With Giants' 1995 Air Forces Publishing Service). He grew up in Dumbarton, Scotland, and joined the army just before September 1939. He was trained initially as a mobile anti-aircraft gunner, was evacuated from the mole at Dunkirk, and subsequently joined the RAF. There he trained as a Spitfire pilot and took part in raiding operations ('rhubarbs') over France attacking targets of opportunity. During one of these, he got separated from his comrades and was picked up by German fighters while striving to make it safely across the English Channel. He managed to bail out of his crippled aircraft and ended up in his dinghy trying to paddle to England. The tide took him to the French coast where he was captured. He was imprisoned in several POW camps including Stalag Luft Three, and eventually finished the war in Stalag Luft 6 at Heydekrug, East Prussia. Just ahead of the advancing Russians, the whole camp was moved in cold wintery weather. Partly by railway cattle trucks but also a considerable distance walking, the 10,000 prisoners travelled all the way across the North German plain through Poland and into Germany where he was liberated. This appalling trek, and the tremendous leadership shown by Dixie Deans, is described in 'The Last Escape' (Penguin 2003, by John Nichol and Tony Rennell). It's an amazing story told in a very downbeat way, typical of that generation of Scots.

description: We discuss the hyperfine shifts of the Positronium levels in a relativistic framework, starting from a two fermion wave equation where, in addition to the Coulomb potential, the magnetic interaction between spins is described by a Breit term. We write the system of four first order differential equations describing this model. We discuss its mathematical features, mainly in relation to possible singularities that may appear at finite values of the radial coordinate. We solve the boundary value problems both in the singular and non singular cases and we develop a perturbation scheme, well suited for numerical computations, that allows to calculate the hyperfine shifts for any level, according to well established physical arguments that the Breit term must be treated at the first perturbative order. We discuss our results, comparing them with the corresponding values obtained from semi-classical expansions.

description: Let $d\geq 2$ be an integer, $1\leq l\leq d-1$ and $φ$ be a differential $l$-form on ${\mathbb R}^d$ with $\dot{W}^{1,d}$ coefficients. It was proved by Bourgain and Brezis (\cite[Theorem 5]{MR2293957}) that there exists a differential $l$-form $ψ$ on ${\mathbb R}^d$ with coefficients in $L^{\infty}\cap \dot{W}^{1,d}$ such that $dφ=dψ$. Bourgain and Brezis also asked whether this result can be extended to differential forms with coefficients in the fractional Sobolev space $\dot{W}^{s,p}$ with $sp=d$. We give a positive answer to this question, in the more general context of Triebel-Lizorkin spaces, provided that $d-κ\leq l\leq d-1$, where $κ$ is the largest positive integer such that $κ

The existence of dark matter might not require physics beyond the Standard Model.

Solar cycle prediction using precursors and flux transport models

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the origin of the predictive skill of some methods to forecast the strength of solar activity cycles. A simple flux transport model for the azimuthally averaged radial magnetic field at the solar surface is used, which contains a source term describing the emergence of new flux based on observational sunspot data. We consider the magnetic flux diffusing over the equator as a predictor, since this quantity is directly related to the global dipole field from which a Babcock-Leighton dynamo generates the toroidal field for the next activity cycle. If the source is represented schematically by a narrow activity belt drifting with constant speed over a fixed range of latitudes between activity minima, our predictor shows considerable predictive skill with correlation coefficients up to 0.95 for past cycles. However, the predictive skill is completely lost when the actually observed emergence latitudes are used. This result originates from the fact that the precursor amplitude is determined by the sunspot activity a few years before solar minimum. Since stronger cycles tend to rise faster to their maximum activity (known as the Waldmeier effect), the temporal overlapping of cycles leads to a shift of the minimum epochs that depends on the strength of the following cycle. This information is picked up by precursor methods and also by our flux transport model with a schematic source. Therefore, their predictive skill does not require a memory, i.e., a physical connection between the surface manifestations of subsequent activity cycles.

description: We have surveyed Kepler's supernova remnant in search of the companion star of the explosion. We have gone as deep as 2.6 solar luminosities in the stars within 20% of the radius of the remnant. We use FLAMES at the VLT-UT2 telescope to obtain high resolution spectra of the stellar candidates selected from HST images. The resulting set of stellar parameters suggests that these stars come from a rather ordinary mixture of field stars (mostly giants). A few of the stars seem to have low [Fe/H] (< -1) and they are consistent with being metal-poor giants. The radial velocities and rotational velocities vrot sin i are very well determined. There are no fast rotating stars as vrot sin i < 20 km/s. The radial velocities from the spectra and the proper motions determined from HST images are compatible with those expected from the Besançon model of the Galaxy. The strong limits placed on luminosity suggest that this supernova could have arisen either from the core-degenerate scenario or from the double-degenerate scenario.

description: Roughly one-third of households in rural America cannot subscribe to broadband Internet services at any price. This puts many rural communities at a disadvantage with respect to economic growth, job creation, educational opportunities, health care information, commerce, and more. Internet users in urban areas are also adversely affected by the exclusion of so many rural households. For example, e-commerce merchants can attract fewer customers, online universities can attract fewer students, and users of e-mail, Internet telephony, and videoconferencing can communicate with fewer friends and business associates. Government can facilitate the expansion of broadband infrastructure into unserved communities through a suite of interrelated policies. Appropriate changes in spectrum policy would reduce the cost of building new broadband wireless systems in rural areas. These potential new wireless providers could then compete with existing telephone, cable, and cellular companies and other organizations for the obligation to bring broadband to an unserved community in return for a one-time subsidy. Defining this obligation in a highly flexible form and making it tradable on an open market would minimize the cost of infrastructure deployment and thereby reduce the subsidies needed. Attaching very lightweight restrictions on subsidy recipients could protect consumers from monopoly providers that might be tempted to limit their customers’ choice of content or applications. Allowing and encouraging local government agencies to play an active role could encourage providers to deploy infrastructure by guaranteeing future revenues and ensuring access to critical resources. Collecting better information on availability of broadband services nationwide would allow both policymakers and potential service providers to better identify the communities that need service. Together, these mutually reinforcing policy reforms would allow government to move the United States closer to the goal of universal access to broadband Internet by harnessing market forces without competing with market forces.

description: We analyze experimental data of nuclear structure function ratios $F_2^A/F_2^D$ for obtaining optimum parton distribution functions (PDFs) in nuclei. Then, uncertainties of the nuclear PDFs are estimated by the Hessian method. Parametrization of nuclear parton distribution is investigated in the leading order of $α_s$. The parton distribution are provided at $Q^2=1 GeV^2$ with a number of parameters, which are determined by a $χ^2$ analysis of the data on nuclear structure function. From the analysis, we propose parton distributions at $Q^2=1 GeV^2$ for nuclei from deuteron to heavy ones with a mass number $A\sim 208$.

description: Differential cross section of X-ray production induced by O, Cl, Cu and Br ions with energies between 4 MeV and 40 MeV have been measured for thin targets of Ti, Fe, Zn, Nb and Ta in a direct way. A fully characterized silicon drift diode was used as X-rays detector. Beam currents have been measured by a system of two Faraday cups. Corrections for target thickness effects have been applied to the raw data. Experimental cross sections are compared both with theory and with previously published results. Experimental results from other authors are in reasonable agreement with ours over a wide energy range. Theory produces consistent results in the case of oxygen ions but gives cross sections even orders of magnitude below the experimental ones for heavier ions (ECPSSR-UA) or contrasting results (PWBA) depending on the ion-target combination.

description: I report on recent work done in collaboration with Irinel Caprini and Gilberto Colangelo. We observe that the Roy equations lead to a representation of the pion pion scattering amplitude that exclusively involves observable quantities, but is valid for complex values of s. At low energies, this representation is dominated by the contributions from the two subtraction constants, which are known to remarkable precision from the low energy theorems of chiral perturbation theory. Evaluating the remaining contributions on the basis of the available data, we demonstrate that the lowest resonance carries the quantum numbers of the vacuum and occurs in the vicinity of the threshold. Although the uncertainties in the data are substantial, the pole position can be calculated quite accurately, because it occurs in the region where the amplitude is dominated by the subtractions. The calculation neatly illustrates the fact that the dynamics of the Goldstone bosons is governed by the symmetries of QCD.

description: The Sivers mechanism for the single-spin asymmetry in unpolarized lepton scattering from a transversely polarized nucleon is driven by the orbital angular momentum carried by its quark and gluon constituents, combined with QCD final-state interactions. Both quark and gluon mechanisms can generate such a single-spin asymmetry, though only the quark mechanism can explain the small single-spin asymmetry measured by the COMPASS collaboration on the deuteron, suggesting the gluon mechanism is small relative to the quark mechanism. We detail empirical studies through which the gluon and quark orbital angular momentum contributions, quark-flavor by quark-flavor, can be elucidated.

description: Modern governments face an increasing number of issues that require extensive knowledge of science or technology for effective decision-making. These include issues of health care, environment, energy, agriculture, national defense, communications and transportation, to name a few. There is no shortage of expertise to address these issues; the majority of scientists and engineers who have ever lived are alive today. Yet all too often, the policy-making process does not benefit from this technical expertise. There is a great divide between technologists-research-oriented, forward-looking engineers and scientists-and policy-makers, elected legislators and their staffs at the local, state and Federal levels. As a result, we have a system in which policy-makers are too often deprived of knowledge that they need to do their job well, and in which technologists with this knowledge have limited influence. Each side may blame the other for its inaccessibility. At the core of this failure to communicate are two groups with different operational systems and different cultures

description: Massive foreground galaxy clusters magnify and distort the light of objects behind them, permitting a view into both the extremely distant and intrinsically faint galaxy populations. We present here the z ~ 6 - 8 candidate high-redshift galaxies from the Reionization Lensing Cluster Survey (RELICS), a Hubble and Spitzer Space Telescope survey of 41 massive galaxy clusters spanning an area of ~200 arcmin^2. These clusters were selected to be excellent lenses and we find similar high-redshift sample sizes and magnitude distributions as CLASH. We discover 321 candidate galaxies with photometric redshifts between z ~ 6 to z ~ 8, including extremely bright objects with H-band magnitudes of m_AB ~ 23 mag. As a sample, the observed (lensed) magnitudes of these galaxies are among the brightest known at z> 6, comparable to much wider, blank-field surveys. RELICS demonstrates the efficiency of using strong gravitational lenses to produce high-redshift samples in the epoch of reionization. These brightly observed galaxies are excellent targets for follow-up study with current and future observatories, including the James Webb Space Telescope.

Beyond Global Warming Potential: A Comparative Application of Climate Impact Metrics for the Life Cycle Assessment of Coal and Natural Gas Based Electricity

description: In the ongoing debate about the climate benefits of fuel switching from coal to natural gas for power generation, the metrics used to model climate impacts may be important. In this article, we evaluate the life cycle greenhouse gas emissions of coal and natural gas used in new, advanced power plants using a broad set of available climate metrics in order to test for the robustness of results. Climate metrics included in the article are global warming potential, global temperature change potential, technology warming potential, and cumulative radiative forcing. We also used the Model for the Assessment of Greenhouse-gas Induced Climate Change (MAGICC) climate-change model to validate the results. We find that all climate metrics suggest a natural gas combined cycle plant offers life cycle climate benefits over 100 years compared to a pulverized coal plant, even if the life cycle methane leakage rate for natural gas reaches 5%. Over shorter time frames (i.e., 20 years), plants using natural gas with a 4% leakage rate have similar climate impacts as those using coal, but are no worse than coal. If carbon capture and sequestration becomes available for both types of power plants, natural gas still offers climate benefits over coal as long as the life cycle methane leakage rate remains below 2%. These results are consistent across climate metrics and the MAGICC model over a 100-year time frame. Although it is not clear whether any of these metrics are better than the others, the choice of metric can inform decisions based on different societal values. For example, whereas annual temperature change reported may be a more relevant metric to evaluate the human health effects of increased heat, the cumulative temperature change may be more relevant to evaluate climate impacts, such as sea-level rise, that will result from the cumulative warming.

description: We show for the first time, that a fully cosmological hydrodynamical simulation can reproduce key properties of the innermost region of the Milky Way. Our high resolution simulation matches the profile and kinematics of the Milky Way's boxy/peanut-shaped bulge, and hence we can use it to reconstruct and understand the bulge assembly. In particular, the age dependence of the X-shape morphology of the simulated bulge parallels the observed metallicity dependent split in the red clump stars of the inner Galaxy. We use this feature to derive an observational metric that allows us to quantify when the bulge formed from the disk. The metric we propose can be employed with upcoming survey data to constrain the age of the Milky Way bar. From the split in stellar counts we estimate the formation of the 4~kpc scale bar in the simulation to have happened $t^{\rm bar}_{\rm form}\sim8^{+2}_{-2}$ Gyr ago, in good agreement with conventional methods to measure bar formation in simulations. We test the prospects for observationally differentiating the stars that belong to the bulge/bar compared to the surrounding disk, and find that the inner disk and bulge are practically indistinguishable in both chemistry and ages.

description: We use analysis results from a low state of the VY Sculptoris system MV Lyrae, considered in an earlier paper (Hoard et al., 2004, ApJ, 604, 346), to study archival IUE spectra taken during an intermediate state and a HST spectrum taken during a high state. The intermediate state spectrum can be best fit by an isothermal accretion disk extending half way to the tidal cutoff radius. The high state spectrum can be best fit by a standard model extending from an inner truncation radius to an intermediate radius and an isothermal accretion disk beyond.

description: Poorly written rules for specialized services or managed services, a category of services recognized in the FCC’s 2010 Open Internet Order, could turn the pending Open Internet proceeding into a farce. (This comment will use the terms specialized services and managed services interchangeably.) There are people who seem to believe that any service from an Internet service provider (ISP) that has a quality of service (QoS) that is different from standard Internet service must be a specialized service, and that specialized services are exempt from all Open Internet rules. If the FCC accepts both premises, then it is possible that no form of discrimination, no matter how unreasonable or anticompetitive, could ever be prohibited under Open Internet rules. Imagine that an ISP offers a new service that complements its standard Internet service. If the new service has a different QoS from standard Internet, then the new service is labeled a specialized service and there are no applicable Open Internet Rules to break. On the other hand, if the new service has the same QoS as standard Internet, then there is probably no discrimination going on, which means there is also no chance that the ISP has violated antidiscrimination rules. There is a similar problem if specialized services are exempt from all rules, and if any service that carries traffic from just one application type is considered a specialized service. In this case, the mere act of blocking traffic from the other application types makes the service exempt from rules that prohibit unreasonable blocking based on application.
A gaseous metal disk around a white dwarf

description: The destiny of planetary systems through the late evolution of their host stars is very uncertain. We report a metal-rich gas disk around a moderately hot and young white dwarf. A dynamical model of the double-peaked emission lines constrains the outer disk radius to just 1.2 solar radii. The likely origin of the disk is a tidally disrupted asteroid, which has been destabilised from its initial orbit at a distance of more than 1000 solar radii by the interaction with a relatively massive planetesimal object or a planet. The white dwarf mass of 0.77 solar masses implies that planetary systems may form around high-mass stars.

description: We study collective modes in a classical system of particles with repulsive inverse-power-law (IPL) interactions in the fluid phase, near the fluid-solid coexistence (IPL melts). The IPL exponent is varied from $n=10$ to $n=100$ to mimic the transition from moderately soft to hard-sphere-like interactions. We compare the longitudinal dispersion relations obtained using molecular dynamic (MD) simulations with those calculated using the quasi-crystalline approximation (QCA) and find that this simple theoretical approach becomes grossly inaccurate for $n\gtrsim 20$. Similarly, conventional expressions for high-frequency (instantaneous) elastic moduli, predicting their divergence as $n$ increases, are meaningless in this regime. Relations of the longitudinal and transverse elastic velocities of the QCA model to the adiabatic sound velocity, measured in MD simulations, are discussed for the regime where QCA is applicable. Two potentially useful freezing indicators for classical particle systems with steep repulsive interactions are discussed.

description: The paper analyzes the fault tolerance of a class of double-loop networks referred to as forward-loop backward-hop (FLBH), in which each node is connected via unidirectional links to the node one hop in front of it and to the node S hops in back of it for some S. A new measure of fault tolerance is described, along with techniques based on Markov chains to calculate upper and lower bounds on the fault tolerance of this network topology quickly and efficiently. The results of these calculations provide a more precise description of network fault tolerance than has been achieved with previously published techniques
