description: Jammed particulate systems composed of various shapes of particles undergo the jamming transition as they are compressed or decompressed. To date, sphere packings have been extensively studied in many previous works, where isostaticity at the transition and scaling laws with the pressure of various quantities, including the contact number and the vibrational density of states, have been established. Additionally, much attention has been paid to nonspherical packings, and particularly recent work has made progress in understanding ellipsoidal packings. In the present work, we study the dimer packings in two dimensions, which have been much less understood than systems of spheres and ellipsoids. We first study the contact number of dimers near the jamming transition. It turns out that packings of dimers have "rotational rattlers", each of which still has a free rotational motion. After correcting this effect, we show that dimers become isostatic at the jamming, and the excess contact number obeys the same critical law and finite size scaling law as those of spheres. We next study the vibrational properties of dimers near the transition. We find that the vibrational density of states of dimers exhibits two characteristic plateaus that are separated by a peak. The high-frequency plateau is dominated by the translational degree of freedom, while the low-frequency plateau is dominated by the rotational degree of freedom. We establish the critical scaling laws of the characteristic frequencies of the plateaus and the peak near the transition. In addition, we present detailed characterizations of the real space displacement fields of vibrational modes in the translational and rotational plateaus.

description: We study the galaxy environment of active galaxies, radio-loud and radio-quiet quasars in the redshift range $0.1\leq z\leq0.25$. We use APM galaxies in order to explore the local galaxy overdensity and the $b_J-R$ colour distribution of neighbouring galaxies of these target samples. For comparison, we perform similar analysis on samples of Abell clusters with X-ray emission, and samples of Abell clusters with richness R=1 and R=0. The projected cross-correlations show that the samples of quasars and active galaxies reside in regions of galaxy density enhancements lower than those typical of R=0 clusters. We also find that in the nearby universe the local galaxy overdensity of radio-loud and radio-quiet quasars are comparable. The analysis of the distribution of $b_J-R$ galaxy colour indexes suggests that the environment of quasars is not strongly dominated by a population of red galaxies, characteristic of rich Abell cluster, an effect that is more clearly appreciated for our sample of radio-loud quasars.

description: We investigate the behavior of the Hall coefficient in the case of antiferromagnetism driven by Fermi surface nesting, and find that the Hall coefficient should abruptly increase with the onset of magnetism, as recently observed in vanadium doped chromium. This effect is due to the sudden removal of flat portions of the Fermi surface upon magnetic ordering. Within this picture, the Hall coefficient should scale as the square of the residual resistivity divided by the impurity concentration, which is consistent with available data.

description: This paper analysed the potential demand for local rice in West Africa (WA) in order to generate key information which can support the self-sufficiency strategies on-going in the region. Data were collected using experimental approach based on second price of Vikrey and Endow-and-Upgrade methods in Benin, Côte-d’Ivoire, Niger and Nigeria from 693 consumers (with 68% female) representing theirs households. The analysis based on the framework of the new approach of consumer theory and used a Linear Expenditure System model. Results showed that WA consumers were willing to demand local rice. The probability to demand local rice was about 75%. Probability to demand local rice in the coastal countries was less than the one in landlocked country. The potential demand for local rice was about 44kg/capita/year in average over 57kg/capita/year for all types of rice including imported rice. The ranking of preference criteria showed that the most important rice preference criteria in the region were good taste, whiteness, absence of foreign matters, aroma and shape of grains. Moreover, the possibility to easily import rice affected negatively consumers’ potential demand for local rice in WA. These results suggest that the policy enabling the production of good quality local rice meeting consumers’ preferences and needs will strongly improve the self-sufficiency ratio and then reduce rice imports into the region.

description: The X-ray mission Chandra has observed a dramatic X-ray flare -- a brightening by a factor of 50 for only three hours -- from Sgr A*, the Galactic Center supermassive black hole. Sgr A* has never shown variability of this amplitude in the radio and we therefore argue that a jump of this order in the accretion rate does not seem the likely cause. Based on our model for jet-dominated emission in the quiescent state of Sgr A*, we suggest that the flare is a consequence of extra electron heating near the black hole. This can either lead to direct heating of thermal electrons to T_e~6*10^11 K and significantly increased synchrotron-self Compton emission, or result from non-thermal particle acceleration with increased synchrotron radiation and electron Lorentz factors up to gamma_e>10^5. While the former scenario is currently favored by the data, simultaneous VLBI, submm, mid-infrared and X-ray observations should ultimately be able to distinguish between the two cases.

The Detectability of High Redshift Lyman Alpha Emission Lines Prior to the Reionization of the Universe
Creators: name: Haiman, Zoltan
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: For a source of Ly alpha radiation embedded in a neutral intergalactic medium (IGM) prior to the reionization epoch, the emission line is strongly suppressed by the intervening IGM. The damping wing of the so-called Gunn-Peterson trough can extend to the red side of the emission line, and erase a significant fraction of the total line flux. However, the transmitted fraction increases with the size of the local cosmological HII region surrounding the source, and therefore with the ionizing luminosity and age of the source. Motivated by the recent discovery of a Ly alpha emitting galaxy at a redshift z=6.56 (Hu et al. 2002), possibly prior to the reionization of the IGM, we revisit the effects of a neutral IGM on the Ly alpha emission line. We show that even for faint sources with little ionizing continuum, the emission line can remain observable. In particular, the line detected by Hu et al. is consistent with a source embedded in a neutral IGM. We provide characterizations of the asymmetry and total transmitted flux of the Ly alpha line as functions of the ionizing emissivity of its source. A statistical sample of Ly alpha emitters extending beyond the reionization redshift can be a useful probe of reionization.

The topological Hochschild homology of algebraic $K$-theory of finite fields

Subjects: subject: Algebraic Topology (math.AT)

description: Let $K(\mathbb{F}_q)$ be the algebraic $K$-theory spectrum of the finite field with $q$ elements and let $p \geq 5$ be a prime number coprime to $q$. In this paper we study the mod $p$ and $v_1$ topological Hochschild homology of $K(\mathbb{F}_q)$, denoted $V(1)_*THH(K(\mathbb{F}_q))$, as an $\mathbb{F}_p$-algebra. The computations are organized in four different cases, depending on the mod $p$ behaviour of the function $q^n-1$. We use different spectral sequences, in particular the Bökstedt spectral sequence and a generalization of a spectral sequence of Brun developed in an earlier paper. We calculate the $\mathbb{F}_p$-algebras $THH_*(K(\mathbb{F}_q); H\mathbb{F}_p)$, and we compute $V(1)_*THH(K(\mathbb{F}_q))$ in the first two cases.

description: Enhancing access to output markets for smallholder farmers is recognized as an effective tool for poverty reduction: the more smallholders produce and sell to the market, the higher their income and overall livelihoods. The underlying assumption, which is rarely spelled-out, is that market access represents a major incentive for smallholders to shift their production objective from subsistence to commercial, i.e. to set up sustainable businesses, be they either small or large, around their agricultural assets. This paper relies on the Uganda 2011/12 National Panel Survey (NPS) to investigate the linkages between access to market and dairy farmers’ self-reported subsistence and commercial production objectives. Market access, including both market participation and intensity of participation, is found to depend on a variety of observable farmers’ characteristics. Market participation, however, does also depend on whether the farmer considers himself or herself as commercially-oriented. There are thus some unobservable characteristics, such as smallholder’s risk attitude and willingness to invest in dairy, that influence farmer’s decision to participate in markets, and that are difficult to capture using traditional household and farm level data. This makes it challenging for decision-makers to design and implement policies that utilize markets as a tool out of poverty.

description: This paper analyzes determinants of farmers’ participation and credit rationing using survey data from Ghana. The Garrett Ranking Technique is used to analyze farmers’ reasons for participation or non-participation in credit programs. A probit regression model is also applied to estimate factors influencing farm households’ participation in credit programs. Farm households participate in credit programs because of improved loan access for farming purposes and savings mobilization. Fear of loan default and lack of savings are reasons for non-participation in credit programs. Furthermore, membership in farmer based organizations and the household head’s formal education are positively associated with farmers’ participation in credit programs. The likelihood of farmers being credit rationed (i.e., they were rejected or the amount of credit they applied for was reduced) is less likely among higher income farmers and members of organizations. Policy strategies aiming to improve credit access should educate farmers and strengthen farmer based organizations that could serve as entry points for credit providers. Such market smart strategies have the potential to improve farmers’ access to timely credit and to reduce rural poverty.

description: This study looks at the three-way relationship between economic growth, human development, and openness to trade in a large panel of developing Asian economies. Using a theoretically motivated simultaneous equations system, we find that although human development contributes positively to economic growth, in the case of our Asian sample growth does not appear to have had a positive influence on human development. Uneven growth accompanied by lagging institutional development, preventing human capital formation, might have inhibited human development in the short to medium run. Complementary to the literature showing that growth is sustainable only when accompanied by human development, we confirm a role for trade liberalisation policies in achieving higher growth as well as human development.

 Remarks. Ng (2012) has clarified the status of Mystus wolffii in Singapore. The estuarine and dammed river-reservoir records probably represent native populations (i.e., Murai and Lower Seletar Reservoirs in Ng HH & Tan HH [2010]; Punggol and Serangoon Reservoirs in Ng PX & Tan HH [2013]), but the records from the inland reservoirs are probably non-native stock from raw water transferred from Johor, Peninsular Malaysia.

description: Zero-Shot Action Recognition has attracted attention in the last years and many approaches have been proposed for recognition of objects, events and actions in images and videos. There is a demand for methods that can classify instances from classes that are not present in the training of models, especially in the complex problem of automatic video understanding, since collecting, annotating and labeling videos are difficult and laborious tasks. We have identified that there are many methods available in the literature, however, it is difficult to categorize which techniques can be considered state of the art. Despite the existence of some surveys about zero-shot action recognition in still images and experimental protocol, there is no work focused on videos. Therefore, we present a survey of the methods that comprise techniques to perform visual feature extraction and semantic feature extraction as well to learn the mapping between these features considering specifically zero-shot action recognition in videos. We also provide a complete description of datasets, experiments and protocols, presenting open issues and directions for future work, essential for the development of the computer vision research field.

description: Optically-controlled exciton dynamics in coupled quantum dots is studied. We show that the maximally entangled Bell states and Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states can be robustly generated by manipulating the system parameters to be at the avoided crossings in the eigenenergy spectrum. The analysis of population transfer is systematically carried out using a dressed-state picture. In addition to the quantum dot configuration that have been discussed by Quiroga and Johnson [Phys. Rev. Lett. \QTR{bf}{83}, 2270 (1999)], we show that the GHZ states also may be produced in a ray of three quantum dots with a shorter generation time.

description: In the present paper, the analysis of polishing, grinding and sand-blasting processes on oxidation behavior of nickel, copper and nickel-copper alloy has been investigated. Surface roughness has been measured using two methods: by contact profilometer and by fractal analysis. It has been proved that sand-blasting process influences the surface roughness the most but also contaminates the surface with alumina particles. The oxidation tests were performed in thermogravimetrical furnace. The obtained mass gain plots, SEM microphotographs of cross-sections and SEM EDS analysis of the samples prove that surface preparation changes oxidation kinetics morphology of the polished and ground samples does not vary significantly after oxidation at investigated temperatures, but differences in oxide layer thicknesses and mass gains were observed. Oxidized sandblasted samples reveal that increased surface roughness and alumina intrusions change the oxidation process mixed Al (Ni, Cu or Ni-Cu) oxide is formed and separate Al2O3 particles are visible. The results prove that surface preparation influence high temperature oxidation of the samples by promoting new diffusion mechanism.

description: In this paper we analyse the diet quality aspect of food security of Roma in Romania and reveal a possible cultural (institutional) and economic (marginalization) forces determining their food diet choices. To identify the Roma specificities in their diet quality choices, we compare them to the majority Romanian population as well as with control groups of other non-Roma minorities in order to test the robustness of the results. We employ a modified Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition technique which is often used to estimate mean outcome differences among groups. We use unique Household Budget Survey (HBS) from the Romanian National Institute of Statistics (NIS) covering the period 2004-2011. Our estimations suggest that Roma have inferior diet quality compared to the non-Roma populations. Around one-third of the diet quality gap is explained by the differences in observed socio-economic factors, whereas the remaining part of around two-thirds of the gap is attributed to unobserved factors. Further, the results suggest that the unobserved factors associated with the Roma group have large and significant effect compared to the effect on the majority Romanian population and non-Roma minorities. We argue that the large unexplained component associated with the Roma is caused by the discrimination induced inferior performance of the Roma on the labor market and in particular by their specific informal institutions.

description: Cognizant of the importance of total factor productivity growth in the process of industrialization, examining its trend and extent in the Ethiopian manufacturing sector is essential. To this end, this paper employs different statistical and econometric models. Three main findings emerged from this exercise. Firstly, the Ethiopian manufacturing sector as a whole registered negative total factor productivity growth. Secondly, however, there were sub-sector differences: sectors that are light and had long production experience recorded positive total factor productivity growth, while others did not finally, the private sector, in general, appeared to be more efficient in resource use than the public ones. These results have relevant implications for industrialization in Ethiopia. Not only should firms build the necessary technological and managerial capabilities, but should also introduce the necessary mechanisms for adapting, assimilating and modifying them with local conditions. In parallel, the government should create the necessary conducive environment by putting in place the appropriate, incentive structure and institutions.

description: This paper examines the effect of social security on labor supply using the traditional labor force participation model. Application of a log it regression to the survey data yields results that go counter to theory. That is, the availability of pension income does not reduce labor force participation rates. It is also found, that as age increases, participation in the labor force is significantly reduced for women than men and also for blue-collar jobs that white-collar ones. This result has a policy implication that there is a need for retirement age discrimination act by sex and by type of job. Logit models were estimated for different age groups and it is found that there is no problem arising due to aging or health, which is the mai determinants in setting retirement age, until the age of 60 for participation in the labor force. The results also indicate that the probability to participate in the labor force reduces by 0.09 if one goes from age group of 56-60 to the age group of 61-65.
On the Feasibility of Automated Detection of Allusive Text Reuse

description: The detection of allusive text reuse is particularly challenging due to the sparse evidence on which allusive references rely---commonly based on none or very few shared words. Arguably, lexical semantics can be resorted to since uncovering semantic relations between words has the potential to increase the support underlying the allusion and alleviate the lexical sparsity. A further obstacle is the lack of evaluation benchmark corpora, largely due to the highly interpretative character of the annotation process. In the present paper, we aim to elucidate the feasibility of automated allusion detection. We approach the matter from an Information Retrieval perspective in which referencing texts act as queries and referenced texts as relevant documents to be retrieved, and estimate the difficulty of benchmark corpus compilation by a novel inter-annotator agreement study on query segmentation. Furthermore, we investigate to what extent the integration of lexical semantic information derived from distributional models and ontologies can aid retrieving cases of allusive reuse. The results show that (i) despite low agreement scores, using manual queries considerably improves retrieval performance with respect to a windowing approach, and that (ii) retrieval performance can be moderately boosted with distributional semantics.

description: We present UBVRIJHK photometry and optical spectroscopy of the so-called 'peculiar' Type Ia supernova 1999by in NGC 2841. The observations began one week before visual maximum light which is well-defined by daily observations. The light curves and spectra are similar to those of the prototypical subluminous event SN 1991bg. We find that maximum light in B occurred on 1999 May 10.3 UT (JD 2,451,308.8 +/- 0.3) with B=13.66 +/- 0.02 mag and a color of B_max-V_max=0.51 +/- 0.03 mag. The late-time color implies minimal dust extinction from the host galaxy. Our photometry, when combined with the recent Cepheid distance to NGC 2841 (Macri et al. 2001), gives a peak absolute magnitude of M_B=-17.15 +/- 0.23 mag, making SN 1999by one of the least luminous Type Ia events ever observed. We estimate a decline rate parameter of dm15(B)=1.90 mag, versus 1.93 for SN 1991bg, where 1.10 is typical for so-called 'normal' events. We compare SN 1999by with other subluminous events and find that the B_max-V_max color correlates strongly with the decline rate and may be a more sensitive indicator of luminosity than the fading rate for these objects. We find a good correlation between luminosity and the depth of the spectral feature at 580 nm, which had been attributed solely to Si II. We show that in cooler photospheres the 580 nm feature is dominated by Ti II, which provides a simple physical explanation for the correlation. Using only subluminous Type Ia supernovae we derive a Hubble parameter of H_0=75 +12 -11 km/s Mpc, consistent with values found from brighter events.
