description: Nine extrasolar planets with masses between 110 and 430M are known to transit their star. The knowledge of their masses and radii allows an estimate of their composition, but uncertainties on equations of state, opacities and possible missing energy sources imply that only inaccurate constraints can be derived when considering each planet separately. Aims: We seek to better understand the composition of transiting extrasolar planets by considering them as an ensemble, and by comparing the obtained planetary properties to that of the parent stars. Methods: We use evolution models and constraints on the stellar ages to derive the mass of heavy elements present in the planets. Possible additional energy sources like tidal dissipation due to an inclined orbit or to downward kinetic energy transport are considered. Results: We show that the nine transiting planets discovered so far belong to a quite homogeneous ensemble that is characterized by a mass of heavy elements that is a relatively steep function of the stellar metallicity, from less than 20 earth masses of heavy elements around solar composition stars, to up to 100M for three times the solar metallicity (the precise values being model-dependant). The correlation is still to be ascertained however. Statistical tests imply a worst-case 1/3 probability of a false positive. Conclusions: Together with the observed lack of giant planets in close orbits around metal-poor stars, these results appear to imply that heavy elements play a key role in the formation of close-in giant planets. The large masses of heavy elements inferred for planets orbiting metal rich stars was not anticipated by planet formation models and shows the need for alternative theories including migration and subsequent collection of planetesimals.

description: The average customer waiting time is an important measure of service quality in systems in which customers may order multiple items. In this article, we introduce a new allocation discipline that not only eliminates the unnecessary waiting time of new customers by reallocating reserved items but also retains the fairness of the First-Come-First-Serve allocation rule. We develop analytic expressions for the average customer waiting time in the system with two items and unit demands under the new allocation rule, and our numerical experiments demonstrate a reduction in waiting time. We also provide an algorithm to evaluate the average customer waiting time when a system is with multiple items and batch ordering; simulation results show that the average customer waiting time of some demands can be significantly reduced up to 99.97%.

description: An intense laser field in the high-frequency regime drives carriers in graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) out of equilibrium and creates topologically-protected edge states. Using Floquet theory on driven GNRs, we calculate the time evolution of local excitations of these edge states and show that they exhibit a robust dynamics also in the presence of very localized lattice defects (atomic vacancies), which is characteristic of topologically non-trivial behavior. We show how it is possible to control them by a modulated electrostatic potential: They can be fully transmitted on the same edge, reflected on the opposite one, or can be split between the two edges, in analogy with Hall edge states, making them promising candidates for flying-qubit architectures.

Origin of low surface brightness galaxies: A dynamical study

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)

description: Low Surface Brighness Galaxies (LSBs), inspite of being gas rich, have low star formation rates and are, therefore, low surface brightness in nature. We calculate Q$_{\rm{RW}}$, the 2-component disc stability parameter as proposed by Romeo \& Wiegert (2011), as a function of galactocentric radius $R$ for a sample of five LSBs, for which mass models, as obtained from HI 21cm radio-sythesis observations and R-band photometry, were available in the literature. We find that the median value of Q$_{\rm{RW}}^{\rm{min}}$, the minimum of Q$_{\rm{RW}}$ over $R$, lies between 2.6 and 3.1 for our sample LSBs, which is higher than the median value of 1.8 $\pm$ 0.3 for Q$_{\rm{RW}}^{\rm{min}}$ for a sampleof high surface brightness galaxies (HSBs) as obtained in earlier studies. This clearly shows that LSBs have more stable discs than HSBs, which could explain their low star formation rates and, possibly, their low surface brightness nature. Interestingly, the calculated values of Q$_{\rm{RW}}$ decrease only slightly (median Q$_{\rm{RW}}^{\rm{min}}$ $\sim$ 2.3 - 3) if the discs were taken to respond to the gravitational potential of the dark matter halo only, but reduce by $\sim$ a factor of 2-3 (median Q$_{\rm{RW}}^{\rm{min}}$ $\sim$ 0.7 - 1.5) if they respond to their self-gravity alone. This implies that the dark matter halo is crucial in regulating disc stability in LSBs, which may have important implications for models of galaxy formation and evolution.

Coherent structures in wall-bounded turbulence

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2017

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This article discusses the description of wall-bounded turbulence as a deterministic high-dimensional dynamical system of interacting coherent structures, defined as eddies with enough internal dynamics to behave relatively autonomously from any remaining incoherent part of the flow. The guiding principle is that randomness is not a property, but a methodological choice of what to ignore in the flow, and that a complete understanding of turbulence, including the possibility of control, requires that it be kept to a minimum. After briefly reviewing the underlying low-order statistics of flows at moderate Reynolds numbers, the article examines what two-point statistics imply for the decomposition of the flow into individual eddies. Intense eddies are examined next, including their temporal evolution, and shown to satisfy many of the properties required for coherence. In particular, it is shown that coherent structures larger than the Corrsin scale are a natural consequence of the shear. In wall-bounded turbulence, they can be classified into coherent dispersive waves and transient bursts. The former are found in the viscous layer near the wall and as very-large structures spanning the boundary layer thickness. Although they are shear-driven, these waves have enough internal structure to maintain a uniform advection velocity. Conversely, bursts exist at all scales, are characteristic of the logarithmic layer, and interact almost linearly with the shear. While the waves require a wall to determine their length scale, the bursts are essentially independent from it. The article concludes with a brief review of our present theoretical understanding of turbulent structures, and with a list of open problems and future perspectives.

description: The impact of new interactions on the triviality and stability Higgs-boson mass bounds has been studied. The interactions have been parame- trized in a model-independent way by a set of effective operators of dimension 6. Constraints from electroweak observables at 1-loop level have been included. In the analyzed region of scale of new physics $\La \simeq 2 ÷50 \tev$ the classic triviality bound remains unchanged. An extension of the triviality condition that has been introduced leads to strong constraints on the possible models. The stability bound on the Higgs boson mass is substantially modified depending on the scale $\La$ and strength of coefficients of relevant effective operators.

description: We consider the problem of aggregating pairwise comparisons to obtain a consensus ranking order over a collection of objects. We use the popular Bradley-Terry-Luce (BTL) model which allows us to probabilistically describe pairwise comparisons between objects. In particular, we employ the Bayesian BTL model which allows for meaningful prior assumptions and to cope with situations where the number of objects is large and the number of comparisons between some objects is small or even zero. For the conventional Bayesian BTL model, we derive information-theoretic lower bounds on the Bayes risk of estimators for norm-based distortion functions. We compare the information-theoretic lower bound with the Bayesian Cramér-Rao lower bound we derive for the case when the Bayes risk is the mean squared error. We illustrate the utility of the bounds through simulations by comparing them with the error performance of an expectation-maximization based inference algorithm proposed for the Bayesian BTL model. We draw parallels between pairwise comparisons in the BTL model and inter-player games represented as edges in a comparison graph and analyze the effect of various graph structures on the lower bounds. We also extend the information-theoretic and Bayesian Cramér-Rao lower bounds to the more general Bayesian BTL model which takes into account home-field advantage.

description: A new Chandra observation of SNR 0506-68.0 (also called N23) reveals a complex, highly structured morphology in the low energy X-ray band and an isolated compact central object in the high energy band. Spectral analysis indicates that the X-ray emission overall is dominated by thermal gas whose composition is consistent with swept-up ambient material. There is a strong gradient in ambient density across the diameter of the remnant. Toward the southeast, near a prominent star cluster, the emitting density is 10 - 23 cm^{-3} while toward the northwest it has dropped to a value of only 1 cm^{-3}. The total extent of the X-ray remnant is 100" by 120" (24 pc x 29 pc for a distance of 50 kpc), somewhat larger than previously known. The remnant's age is estimated to be ~4600 yr. One part of the remnant shows evidence for enhanced O, Ne, and perhaps Mg abundances, which is interpreted as evidence for ejecta from a massive star core collapse supernova. The compact central object has a luminosity of a few times 10^{33} ergs/s and no obvious radio or optical counterpart. It does not show an extended nebula or pulsed emission as expected from a young energetic pulsar, but resembles the compact central objects seen in other core collapse SNe, such as Cas A.

description: In the context of fair division, the concept of price of fairness has been introduced to quantify the loss of welfare when we have to satisfy some fairness condition. In other words, it is the price we have to pay to guarantee fairness. Various settings of fair division have been considered previously; we extend to the setting of indivisible goods by using egalitarian welfare as the welfare measure, instead of the commonly used utilitarian welfare. We provide lower and upper bounds for various fairness and efficiency conditions such as envy-freeness up to one good (EF1) and maximum Nash welfare (MNW).

description: The exposure of non-target organisms to pesticides is expected to be reduced, if the pesticide application is performed via seed treatment instead of a spray application. But the phenomenon of guttation was not taken into account as a potential exposure pathway of systemic pesticides like neonicotinoids, though guttation in maize occurred frequently under climate conditions of Central Europe. During guttation events ladybird beetles were observed on the upper side of leaves of maize seedlings (BBCH 13 - 14) between large guttation droplets on day 3, 5, and 11 after crop emergence. Neither aphids nor leaf tissue feeding were observed. The neonicotinoids and corresponding metabolites were analyzed in guttation water and in Coccinellidae with LC-ESI/MS/MS. Because the same a. i. and their corresponding metabolites were detected in guttation water and ladybirds from the same variant, this indicates that the excretion of guttation droplets is an exposure pathway for leaf-visiting adult Coccinellidae.

description: The application of machine learning techniques to the reconstruction of lepton energies in water Cherenkov detectors is discussed and illustrated for TITUS, a proposed intermediate detector for the Hyper-Kamiokande experiment. It is found that applying these techniques leads to an improvement of more than 50% in the energy resolution for all lepton energies compared to an approach based upon lookup tables. Machine learning techniques can be easily applied to different detector configurations and the results are comparable to likelihood-function based techniques that are currently used.

description: Two subspaces of a vector space are here called ``nonintersecting'' if they meet only in the zero vector. The following problem arises in the design of noncoherent multiple-antenna communications systems. How many pairwise nonintersecting M_t-dimensional subspaces of an m-dimensional vector space V over a field F can be found, if the generator matrices for the subspaces may contain only symbols from a given finite alphabet A subseteq F? The most important case is when F is the field of complex numbers C; then M_t is the number of antennas. If A = F = GF(q) it is shown that the number of nonintersecting subspaces is at most (q^m-1)/(q^{M_t}-1), and that this bound can be attained if and only if m is divisible by M_t. Furthermore these subspaces remain nonintersecting when ``lifted'' to the complex field. Thus the finite field case is essentially completely solved. In the case when F = C only the case M_t=2 is considered. It is shown that if A is a PSK-configuration, consisting of the 2^r complex roots of unity, the number of nonintersecting planes is at least 2^{r(m-2)} and at most 2^{r(m-1)-1} (the lower bound may in fact be the best that can be achieved).

description: An Eulerian TVD code and a Lagrangian SPH code are used to simulate the off-axis collision of equal-mass main sequence stars in order to address the question of whether stellar mergers can produce a remnant star where the interior has been replenished with hydrogen due to significant mixing. Each parent main sequence star is chosen to be found near the turnoff, with hydrogen depleted in the core, and is modelled with a M=0.8 solar mass realistic stellar model and as a n=3 polytrope. An ideal fluid description with adiabatic index gamma=5/3 is used for all hydrodynamic calculations. We found good agreement between the simulations for the polytropic case, with the remnant showing strong, non-local mixing throughout. In the interior quarter of the mass, ~35% is mixed in from larger radii and on average the remnant is ~50% fully mixed. For the realistic model, we found less mixing, particularly in the interior and in the SPH simulation. In the inner quarter, ~20% of the contained mass in the TVD case, but only ~3% in the SPH one is mixed in from outside. The simulations give consistent results for the overall profile of the merger remnant and the amount of mass loss, but the differences in mixing suggests that the intrinsic difference between grid and particle based schemes remains a possible artifact. We conclude that both the TVD and SPH schemes can be used equally well for problems that are best suited to their strengths and that care should be taken in interpreting results about fluid mixing.

description: We, for the first time, employed chemically stable covalent organic framework (COF) (TpPa-1) as a transport-active phase within the polymer (styrene-butadiene rubber; SBR) matrix to make TpPa-1@SBR thin-film composite (TFC) membranes. Three composite membranes, viz., TpPa-1(30)@SBR, TpPa-1(50)@SBR, and TpPa-1(70)@SBR have been prepared with varying COF content. These membranes were characterized for gas permeance and results were compared with the pristine SBR-based TFC membrane. The fully organic nature of chemically stable COF offered good compatibility with the host polymer matrix (SBR) and resulted into flexible TFC membranes even at 70% of COF loading; compared to the other porous material (MOFs or Inorganic fillers), it is appreciable.

We present exact results for the anomalous dimensions of various (gauge-invariant) composite chiral superfields $γ_{Φ_{\rm prod}}$ at the IRFP and prove that these increase monotonically with decreasing $N_f$ in the non-Abelian Coulomb phase of the theory and that scheme-independent expansions for these anomalous dimensions as powers of an $N_f$-dependent variable, $Δ_f$, exhibit monotonic and rapid convergence to the exact $γ_{Φ_{\rm prod}}$ throughout this phase. We also present a scheme-independent calculation of the derivative of the beta function, $dβ/dα|_{α=α_{IR}}$, denoted $β'_{IR}$, up to $O(Δ_f^3)$ for general $G$ and ${\cal R}$, and, for the case $G={\rm SU}(N_c)$, ${\cal R}=F$, we give an analysis of the properties of $β'_{IR}$ calculated to $O(Δ_f^4)$.

description: This paper presents an extensive survey of the failure, and repair rates of wind, and solar-PV energy conversion systems. Various practical layouts of these systems are presented considering various operation modes (i.e. off-grid, and grid-connected), and load types (i.e. deferrable, and non-deferrable). The presented layouts of wind and solar-PV energy systems cover various energy solutions for various operation modes, and load types. The overall structure of each system is separated into a set subsystems, then each subsystem is separated into a set of subassemblies or items. Considering repairable, and non-repairable items, the analyses of failure, and repair rates are then performed for identifying the reliable performance, and weak items. The confidence of the results is increased by collecting huge amounts of data. These data cover various configurations, and meteorological conditions (i.e. stress factors) are analyzed and represented by their confidence median values. Salient conclusions are reached from the analyses of the collected data. The presented results are essential for performing a detailed Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability (RAM) of wind, and solar-PV systems. In addition, they are useful in identifying the weak items, for setting appropriate maintenance plans for increasing the overall reliability of the considered systems.

description: The integration of artificial intelligence in multiple aspects of our daily lives poses a great challenge in shapingcivic participation within societies. Effective civic engagement finds its foundation in the empowerment ofcitizens who actively participate in public discourse, and in the articulation of their viewpoints. Understandingthe dynamics that underpin trust in democratic institutions in this new context is thus important. 

Module A questions individuals' capacity to navigate AI-based content and recommendations while safeguarding their autonomy and free will. Module B examines the requisites for the utilisation of AI to preserve institutional trust. Indeed, the use of AI in a wide range of fields could generate situations that are, or are perceived to be, unfair, thereby threatening the social balance established between members of the same community. Module C puts the new challenges posed by technological transformations into perspective, by analysing historical precedents and how they have shaped culture and social interactions over centuries.

Through a comprehensive exploration and assessment, modules A, B and C of KT4D's Social Risk Toolkit will seek to address an important challenge: identify exactly where regulation is needed to ensure that AI benefits society as a whole, and identify the conditions for trust in social institutions, in order to guarantee effective public debate and societal choices are made by citizens themselves.

description: Objective: The objective of this study was to identify and quantify the motorcycle crash population that would be potential beneficiaries of 3 crash avoidance technologies recently available on passenger vehicles. Methods: Two-vehicle crashes between a motorcycle and a passenger vehicle that occurred in the United States during 2011–2015 were classified by type, with consideration of the functionality of 3 classes of passenger vehicle crash avoidance technologies: frontal crash prevention, lane maintenance, and blind spot detection. Results were expressed as the percentage of crashes potentially preventable by each type of technology, based on all known types of 2-vehicle crashes and based on all crashes involving motorcycles. Results: Frontal crash prevention had the largest potential to prevent 2-vehicle motorcycle crashes with passenger vehicles. The 3 technologies in sum had the potential to prevent 10% of fatal 2-vehicle crashes and 23% of police-reported crashes. However, because 2-vehicle crashes with a passenger vehicle represent fewer than half of all motorcycle crashes, these technologies represent a potential to avoid 4% of all fatal motorcycle crashes and 10% of all police-reported motorcycle crashes. Discussion: Refining the ability of passenger vehicle crash avoidance systems to detect motorcycles represents an opportunity to improve motorcycle safety. Expanding the capabilities of these technologies represents an even greater opportunity. However, even fully realizing these opportunities can affect only a minority of motorcycle crashes and does not change the need for other motorcycle safety countermeasures such as helmets, universal helmet laws, and antilock braking systems.

description: WMAP's detection of the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect at a much reduced level among several large samples of rich clusters is interpreted in terms of conventional physics. It has been suggested that the central soft X-ray and EUV excess found in some clusters cannot be of thermal origin, due to problems with rapid gas cooling and the persistent non-detection of the O VII line, but may arise from inverse-Compton scattering between intracluster relativistic electrons and the cosmic microwave background. In fact, recent XMM observations of the soft X-rays from Coma and Abell 3112 are equally well fitted by a power law or a thermal virialized gas. Therefore the missing Sunyaev-Zel'dovich flux could partly be due to an overestimate of the central density of virialized electrons which scatter the CMB. Synchrotron radiation in an intracluster magnetic field of strength of a few $μ$G is responsible for significant additional electron energy loss. Equipartition between relativistic particle and magnetic field energy densities is a realistic possibility. GHz radiation data from a Coma cluster halo yields information on the high energy steepening of the cluster relativistic electron spectrum. Cluster microwave emission in the WMAP passbands by higher energy cosmic ray electrons and gamma ray emission from an accompanying cosmic ray proton flux are also considered. The energetic electrons could originate from AGN jet injection, then distributed cluster-wide by Alfven wave sweeping, with accompanying {\it in situ} Fermi acceleration.

description: Several different classes of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) have been identified based on their optical and near-infrared colors. As part of the Colours of the Outer Solar System Origins Survey, we have obtained $g$, $r$, and $z$ band photometry of 26 TNOs using Subaru and Gemini Observatories. Previous color surveys have not utilized $z$ band reflectance, and the inclusion of this band reveals significant surface reflectance variations between sub-populations. The colors of TNOs in $g-r$ and $r-z$ show obvious structure, and appear consistent with the previously measured bi-modality in $g-r$. The distribution of colors of the two dynamically excited surface types can be modeled using the two-component mixing models from Fraser \& Brown (2012). With the combination of $g-r$ and $r-z$, the dynamically excited classes can be separated cleanly into red and neutral surface classes. In $g - r$ and $r - z$, the two dynamically excited surface groups are also clearly distinct from the cold classical TNO surfaces, which are red, with $g-r\gtrsim$0.85 and $r-z\lesssim$0.6, while all dynamically excited objects with similar $g-r$ colors exhibit redder $r-z$ colors. The $z$ band photometry makes it possible for the first time to differentiate the red excited TNO surfaces from the red cold classical TNO surfaces. The discovery of different $r-z$ colors for these cold classical TNOs makes it possible to search for cold classical surfaces in other regions of the Kuiper belt and to completely separate cold classical TNOs from the dynamically excited population, which overlaps in orbital parameter space.

Photon production from a thermalized quark gluon plasma: quantum kinetics and nonperturbative aspects

description: We study the production of photons from a quark gluon plasma in local thermal equilibrium by introducing a non-perturbative formulation of the real time evolution of the density matrix. The main ingredient is the real time effective action for the electromagnetic field to $\mathcal{O}(α_{em})$ and to all orders in $α_s$. The real time evolution is completely determined by the solution of a \emph{classical stochastic} non-local Langevin equation which provides a Dyson-like resummation of the perturbative expansion. The Langevin equation is solved in closed form by Laplace transform in terms of the thermal photon polarization. A quantum kinetic description emerges directly from this formulation. We find that photons with $k \lesssim 200 ~{Mev}$ \emph{thermalize} as plasmon quasiparticles in the plasma on time scales $t \sim 10-20 ~{fm}/c$ which is of the order of the lifetime of the QGP expected at RHIC and LHC. We then obtain the direct photon yield to lowest order in $α_{em}$ and to leading logarithmic order in $α_s$ in a \emph{uniform} expansion valid at all time. The yield during a QGP lifetime $t \sim 10 ~{fm}/c$ is systematically larger than that obtained with the equilibrium formulation and the spectrum features a distinct flattening for $k \gtrsim 2.5 ~{Gev}$. We discuss the window of reliability of our results, the theoretical uncertainties in \emph{any} treatment of photon emission from a QGP in LTE and the shortcomings of the customary S-matrix approach.

description: We present an argon ion beam milling process to remove the native oxide layer forming on aluminum thin films due to their exposure to atmosphere in between lithographic steps. Our cleaning process is readily integrable with conventional fabrication of Josephson junction quantum circuits. From measurements of the internal quality factors of superconducting microwave resonators with and without contacts, we place an upper bound on the residual resistance of an ion beam milled contact of 50$\,\mathrm{m}Ω\cdot μ\mathrm{m}^2$ at a frequency of 4.5 GHz. Resonators for which only $6\%$ of the total foot-print was exposed to the ion beam milling, in areas of low electric and high magnetic field, showed quality factors above $10^6$ in the single photon regime, and no degradation compared to single layer samples. We believe these results will enable the development of increasingly complex superconducting circuits for quantum information processing.
