description: The role of the time surface term in the ADM Hamiltonian formulation of general relativity is investigated. We show that the variable contained in the time surface term (the scale factor) plays the role of a time-like variable. The conjugated variable represents the energy density in the reduced phase space, where the Schrödinger like equation for a wave function is derived. The contribution from the surface term to the phase of the wave function allows us to define {\bf the phase time of the quantum Universe} so that it coincides with {\bf the proper time as an invariant interval} for the classical dust filled Universe. The quantum scenario of the evolution of the Universe filled in by the Weinberg-Salam fields is considered. The wave function of the early Universe as the functional from the Higgs fields and scale factor realizes the unitary irreducible representation of the SO(4,1) group. The elementary particle masses are determined by the angles of the scale--scalar field mixing.

description: Natural fibers, including cellulose, bamboo, hemp, have good mechanical and thermal properties, and they are renewables and recyclables. Recent advances regarding the use of natural fibers in cement composite showed that their behavior is depended on their structure, chemical composition, and their position in the plant. Therefore, the use of natural fibers in cement composite presents important challenges. For example, their hydrophilic character and vulnerability in alkaline environment have to be solved. The objective of this investigation is to characterize and evaluate the performance of date palm stems (pedicel) fibers in cement-based materials. Two different types of natural fiber, including hemp and date palm stems (pedicel) fibers, were evaluated. Both types of fiber have been subjected to several chemical treatments to reduce their high hydrophilicity and increase their durability. The obtained results showed that palm stems fibers have good mechanical properties. Furthermore, the chemical treatment of fiber using hydrophobic resin reduced the hydrophilic character of the fibers, hence resulting in improving the bond between fibers and matrix.

description: We study half-BPS surface operators in four dimensional N=2 SU(N) gauge theories, and analyze their low-energy effective action on the four dimensional Coulomb branch using equivariant localization. We also study surface operators as coupled 2d/4d quiver gauge theories with an SU(N) flavour symmetry. In this description, the same surface operator can be described by different quivers that are related to each other by two dimensional Seiberg duality. We argue that these dual quivers correspond, on the localization side, to distinct integration contours that can be determined by the Fayet-Iliopoulos parameters of the two dimensional gauge nodes. We verify the proposal by mapping the solutions of the twisted chiral ring equations of the 2d/4d quivers onto individual residues of the localization integrand.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: While the proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) is optimal under certain norms it's also expensive to compute. For large matrix sizes, it is well known that the QR decomposition provides a tractable alternative. Under the assumption that it is rank--revealing QR (RRQR), the approximation error incurred is similar to the POD error and, furthermore, we show the existence of an RRQR with exactly same error estimate as POD. To numerically realize an RRQR decomposition, we will discuss the (iterative) modified Gram Schmidt with pivoting (MGS) and reduced basis method by employing a greedy strategy. We show that these two, seemingly different approaches from linear algebra and approximation theory communities are in fact equivalent. Finally, we describe an MPI/OpenMP parallel code that implements one of the QR-based model reduction algorithms we analyze. This code was developed with model reduction in mind, and includes functionality for tasks that go beyond what is required for standard QR decompositions. We document the code's scalability and show it to be capable of tackling large problems. In particular, we apply our code to a model reduction problem motivated by gravitational waves emitted from binary black hole mergers and demonstrate excellent weak scalability on the supercomputer Blue Waters up to 32,768 cores and for complex, dense matrices as large as 10,000-by-3,276,800 (about half a terabyte in size).

On the Evolution of Damped Lyman Alpha Systems to Galactic Disks

Year: 1997

description: The mean metallicity of the thick disk of the Galaxy is 0.5 dex higher than that of the damped Lyman alpha systems. This has been interpreted to argue that stars in the former do not arise out of gas in the latter. Using new metallicity and H I column-density data we show the metal-rich damped systems do contain sufficient baryons at the thick-disk metallicity to account for the stellar masses of thick disks. Comparing our kinematic data with the metallicities we show that damped Lyman alpha systems exhibiting the largest profile velocity widths span a narrow range of high metallicities, while systems with small velocity widths span a wider range of metallicities. This is naturally explained by passage of the damped Lyman alpha sightlines through rapidly rotating disks with negative radial gradients in metallicity. The systematically lower N(H I) of systems with high velocity widths indicates (a) the gaseous disks have centrally located holes, and (b) an apparent inconsistency with the protogalactic clump model for damped Lyman alpha systems. The higher metallicity of systems with low N(H I) further implies that stars rather than gas dominate the baryonic content of the most metal-rich damped systems.

description: We present an alternative procedure to eliminate irregular contributions in the perturbation expansion of c=0-matrix models representing the sum over triangulations of random surfaces, thereby reproducing the results of Tutte [1] and Brezin et al. [2] for the planar model. The advantage of this method is that the universality of the critical exponents can be proven from general features of the model alone without explicit determination of the free energy and therefore allows for several straightforward generalizations including cases with non-vanishing central charge c< 1.

Identifying the Environment and Redshift of GRB Afterglows from the Time-Dependence of Their Absorption Spectra
Creators: name: Perna, Rosalba
name: Loeb, Abraham
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1997
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: The discovery of Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) afterglows revealed a new class of variable sources at optical and radio wavelengths. At present, the environment and precise redshift of the detected afterglows are still unknown. We show that if a GRB source resides in a compact (<100pc) gas-rich environment, the afterglow spectrum will show time-dependent absorption features due to the gradual ionization of the surrounding medium by the afterglow radiation. Detection of this time-dependence can be used to constrain the size and density of the surrounding gaseous system. For example, the MgII absorption line detected in GRB970508 should have weakened considerably during the first month if the absorption occurred in a gas cloud of size <100pc around the source. The time-dependent HI or metal absorption features provide a precise determination of the GRB redshift.

description: The observation by the IceCube Collaboration of a high-energy ($E \gtrsim 200$ TeV) neutrino from the direction of the blazar TXS 0506+056 and the coincident observations of enhanced $γ$-ray emissions from the same object by MAGIC and other experiments can be used to set stringent constraints on Lorentz violation in the propagation of neutrinos that is linear in the neutrino energy: $Δv = - E/M_1$, where $Δv$ is the deviation from the velocity of light, and $M_1$ is an unknown high energy scale to be constrained by experiment. Allowing for a difference in neutrino and photon propagation times of $\sim 10$ days, we find that $M_1 \gtrsim 3 \times 10^{16}$ GeV. This improves on previous limits on linear Lorentz violation in neutrino propagation by many orders of magnitude, and the same is true for quadratic Lorentz violation.

Signature for Color-Octet Production of $J/ψ$ in $e^+ e^-$ Annihilation

description: The inclusive cross section for the production of $J/ψ$ in $e^+ e^-$ annihilation is studied using a recently developed factorization formalism. In addition to the conventional color-singlet contribution, we include contributions from $c \bar c$ pairs that are produced at short distances in color-octet states. The color-octet contributions are suppressed by the smaller probability for the color-octet $c \bar c$ pair to evolve into a state that includes a $ψ$, but they may dominate near the upper endpoint of the $ψ$ energy spectrum. The signature for the color-octet contribution is a dramatic change in the angular distribution of the $ψ$ near the endpoint.

description: Layout-Aware Data Scheduler (LADS) data transfer tool, identifies and addresses the issues that lead to congestion on the path of an end-to-end data transfer in the terabit network environments. It exploits the underlying storage layout at each endpoint to maximize throughput without negatively impacting the performance of shared storage resources for other users. LADS can avoid congested storage elements within the shared storage resource, improving input/output bandwidth, and hence the data transfer rates across the high speed networks. However, absence of FT (fault tolerance) support in LADS results in data re-transmission overhead along with the possible integrity issues upon errors. In this paper, we propose object based logging methods to avoid transmitting the objects which are successfully written to Parallel File System (PFS) at the sink end. Depending on the number of logger files created, for the whole dataset, we classified our fault tolerance mechanisms into three different categories: File logger, Transaction logger and Universal logger. Also, to address space overhead of these object based logging mechanisms, we have proposed different methods of populating logger files with the information of the completed objects. We have evaluated the data transfer performance and recovery time overhead of the proposed object based logging fault tolerant mechanisms on LADS data transfer tool. Our experimental results show that, LADS in conjunction with proposed object based fault tolerance mechanisms exhibit an overhead of less than 1% with respect to data transfer time and total recovery time overhead is around 10% of total data transfer time at any fault point.

Dynamic and Thermodynamic Stability and Negative Modes in Schwarzschild-Anti-de Sitter

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: The thermodynamic properties of Schwarzschild-anti-de Sitter black holes confined within finite isothermal cavities are examined. In contrast to the Schwarzschild case, the infinite cavity limit may be taken which, if suitably stated, remains double valued. This allows the correspondence between non-existence of negative modes for classical solutions and local thermodynamic stability of the equilibrium configuration of such solutions to be shown in a well defined manner. This is not possible in the asymptotically flat case. Furthermore, the non-existence of negative modes for the larger black hole solution in Schwarzschild-anti-de Sitter provides strong evidence in favour of the recent positive energy conjecture by Horowitz and Myers.

description: Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) is a widely used tool for machine learning in distributed settings, where a machine learning model is trained over distributed data sources through an interactive process of local computation and message passing. Such an iterative process could cause privacy concerns of data owners. The goal of this paper is to provide differential privacy for ADMM-based distributed machine learning. Prior approaches on differentially private ADMM exhibit low utility under high privacy guarantee and often assume the objective functions of the learning problems to be smooth and strongly convex. To address these concerns, we propose a novel differentially private ADMM-based distributed learning algorithm called DP-ADMM, which combines an approximate augmented Lagrangian function with time-varying Gaussian noise addition in the iterative process to achieve higher utility for general objective functions under the same differential privacy guarantee. We also apply the moments accountant method to bound the end-to-end privacy loss. The theoretical analysis shows that DP-ADMM can be applied to a wider class of distributed learning problems, is provably convergent, and offers an explicit utility-privacy tradeoff. To our knowledge, this is the first paper to provide explicit convergence and utility properties for differentially private ADMM-based distributed learning algorithms. The evaluation results demonstrate that our approach can achieve good convergence and model accuracy under high end-to-end differential privacy guarantee.

description: Gradient- and curl-type or E- and B-type polarizations have been routinely analyzed to study the physics contributing to the cosmic microwave background polarization and galactic foregrounds. They characterize the parity-even and parity-odd properties of the underlying physical mechanisms, for example hydromagnetic turbulence in the case of dust polarization. Here we study spectral correlation functions characterizing the parity-even and parity-odd parts of linear polarization for homogeneous and inhomogeneous turbulence to show that only the inhomogeneous helical case can give rise to a parity-odd polarization signal. We also study nonhelical turbulence and suggest that a strong nonvanishing (here negative) skewness of the E polarization is responsible for an enhanced ratio of the EE to the BB (quadratic) correlation in both helical and nonhelical cases. This could explain the enhanced EE/BB ratio observed recently for dust polarization. We close with a preliminary assessment of using linear polarization of the Sun to characterize its helical turbulence without being subjected to the pi ambiguity that magnetic inversion techniques have to address.

description: The Gamer’s Dilemma challenges us to justify the moral difference between enacting virtual murder and virtual child molestation in video games. The Dilemma relies for its argumentative force on the claim that there is an intuitive moral difference between these acts, with the former intuited as morally acceptable and the latter as morally unacceptable. However, there has been no empirical investigation of these claims. To explore these issues, we developed an experimental survey study in which participants were asked to reflect on imaginary video game scenarios as part of a 2 (undertake virtual murder or molestation) X 2 (against an adult or child) X 2 (in a high or low realism virtual environment) factorial design. We found that there was a significant difference between people’s views about virtual murder and virtual molestation. Whether the virtual act was performed against an adult or child was non-significant in most conditions, whereas whether it was performed in a high or low realism virtual environment was significant in most conditions. Gender did not impact these results, whereas perceived gaming experience, hours of video game play per week, and integrity did. These results provide an empirical grounding for future discussions of the Gamer's Dilemma.
Electron Acceleration and Synchrotron Radiation in Decelerating Plasmoids

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: An equation is derived to calculate the dynamics of relativistic magnetized plasma which decelerates by sweeping up matter from the ISM. Reduction to the non-radiative and radiative regimes is demonstrated. The evolving electron momentum distribution function in the comoving fluid frame is used to calculate the observed synchrotron radiation spectrum, assuming that a fixed fraction of the comoving proton power is instantaneously transformed into a power-law, "shock"-like electron distribution function. This permits an analytic solution for the case of a relativistic plasmoid with a constant internal magnetic field. Breaks in the temporal behavior of the primary burst emission and long wavelength afterglows occur on two time scales for external ISM density distributions. The first represents the time when the outflow sweeps up approximately M/G_0 of material from the ISM, where M is the mass in the outflow ejecta and G_0 is the initial Lorentz factor of the plasmoid. The second represents the time when synchrotron cooling begins strongly to regulate the number of nonthemal electrons that are producing radiation which is observed at a given energy. Results are applied to GRB and blazar variability. The slopes of the time profiles of the X-ray and optical light cuves of the afterglows of GRB 970228 and GRB 970508 are explained by injection of hard electron spectra with indices $s < 2$ in a deceleration regime near the radiative limit. We also propose that blazar flares are due to the transformation of the directed kinetic energy of the plasmoid when interacting with the external medium, as would occur if relativistic outflows pass through clouds orbiting the central supermassive black hole.

Optimization of the linseed oil treatment of flax fibres: influence on fresh properties of fibre reinforced mortars

Publisher: name: Academic Journal of Civil Engineering
Year: 2019

description: For several years, many studies have focused on the mix-design and characterization of cementitious composites reinforced with plant fibres. It appears that in the fresh state, the morphology and the hydrophilic nature of these fibres significantly affect the rheology of the material. In the hardened state, the mechanical performance of the composites is lower than that of the composites including synthetic fibres. These low mechanical performances are mainly due to the weak fibre/matrix interface. Indeed, the high-water absorption capacity causes swelling/shrinkage of the fibre within the matrix, which subsequently leads to a lack of fibre/matrix bond. This work proposes to study the influence of a coating treatment with linseed oil applied to flax fibres on the properties of cementitious composites. The first part of this study deals with the optimisation of this treatment. The second part focuses on the effect of this treatment on the fresh state properties of the composite. The results showed a strong improvement in the workability of the treated fibre composites. A pronounced effect of the linseed oil treatment on air content was noted for high fibre content.

description: F-theory on K3 admits non-BPS states that are represented as string junctions extending between 7-branes. We classify the non-BPS states which are guaranteed to be stable on account of charge conservation and the existence of a region of moduli space where the 7-branes supporting the junction can be isolated from the rest of the branes. We find three possibilities; the 7-brane configurations carrying: (i) the D_1 algebra representing a D7-brane near an orientifold O7-plane, whose stable non-BPS state was identified before, (ii) the exotic affine E_1 algebra, whose stable non-BPS state seems to be genuinely non-perturbative, and, (iii) the affine E_2 algebra representing a D7-brane near a pair of O7-planes. As a byproduct of our work we construct explicitly all 7-brane configurations that can be isolated in a K3. These include non-collapsible configurations of affine type.

description: We present analytical next-to-leading order results for the correlator of baryonic currents at the three-loop level with one finite mass quark. We obtain the massless and the HQET limits of the correlator as particular cases from the general formula, we also give explicit expressions for the moments of the spectral density. Calculations have been performed with an extensive use of the symbolic manipulation programs MATHEMATICA and REDUCE.

description: We undertook a long term project, DIRECT, to obtain the direct distances to two important galaxies in the cosmological distance ladder -- M31 and M33, using detached eclipsing binaries (DEBs) and Cepheids. While rare and difficult to detect, detached eclipsing binaries provide us with the potential to determine these distances with an accuracy better than 5%. The massive photometry obtained in order to detect DEBs provides us with the light curves for the Cepheid variables. These are essential to the parallel project to derive direct Baade-Wesselink distances to Cepheids in M31 and M33. For both Cepheids and eclipsing binaries the distance estimates will be free of any intermediate steps. As a first step of the DIRECT project, between September 1996 and January 1997 we have obtained 36 full nights on the Michigan-Dartmouth-MIT (MDM) 1.3-meter telescope and 45 full/partial nights on the F. L. Whipple Observatory (FLWO) 1.2-meter telescope to search for detached eclipsing binaries and new Cepheids in the M31 and the M33 galaxies. In this paper, second in the series, we present the catalog of variable stars, most of them newly detected, found in the field M31A ($α_{2000.0},δ_{2000}=11.34°,41.73°$). We have found 75 variable stars: 15 eclipsing binaries, 43 Cepheids and 17 other periodic, possible long period or non-periodic variables. The catalog of variables, as well as their photometry and finding charts, are available using the anonymous ftp service and the WWW. The CCD frames are available on request.

description: We analyze the finite temperature phase diagram of QCD with fermions in the adjoint representation. The simulations performed with four dynamical Majorana fermions, which is equivalent to two Dirac fermions, show that the deconfinement and chiral phase transitions occur at two distinct temperatures, $T_{\rm chiral} \simeq 6.65 T_{\rm deconf}$. While the deconfinement transition is first order we find evidence for a continuous chiral transition. We also present potentials for $T

description: Municipal solid waste is currently a pressing challenge in Lebanon. This problem has been aggravated recently due to an increase in population resulting from the flow of Syrian refugees to the country. Incineration is a common technique to treat the solid waste resulting in the formation of a well-known residue: Municipal solid waste incineration bottom ash (MSWIBA). Those residues can be either dumped in landfills leading to environmental concerns or used in construction materials as a sustainable, resource efficient and economic approach in both solid waste management and construction. The goal of this study is to explore this option. For this purpose, mortar specimens were prepared with amounts of 10, 20, 30 and 40% weight of cement replaced by MSWIBA obtained from incinerators. Three tests (compressive strength, ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) and total water absorption (TWA)) were performed for each mixture at different curing durations: 1, 3, 7, 14 and 28 days. Results indicate that MSWIBA has a limited cementitious activity and a deleterious effect on the compressive strength of mortar cubes. From the analysis of the pozzolanic activity index, it was found that the maximum replacement of cement by MSWIBA should be limited to 10%. UPV results show that the curing duration is of paramount importance for the mortar quality and any increase in the MSWIBA beyond the 10% replacement level leads to significant drop in the UPV results. Finally, the evaluation of TWA results indicates the presence of MSWIBA in mortar is not the main factor affecting its absorption.

Wigner Inequalities for Test of Hypothesis of Realism and Concepts of Macroscopic and Local Realism

description: We propose a new Wigner inequality suitable for test of the hypothesis of realism. We show that this inequality is not identical neither to the well-known Wigner inequality nor to the Leggett-Garg inequality in Wigner form. The obtained inequality is suitable for test of realism not only in quantum mechanical systems, but also in quantum field systems. Also we propose a mathematically consistent derivation of the Leggett--Garg inequality in Wigner form, which was recently presented in the literature, for three and $n$ distinct moments of time. Contrary to these works, our rigor derivation uses Kolmogorov axiomatics of probability theory. We pay special attention to the construction and studies of the spaces of elementary outcomes. Basing on the the Leggett--Garg inequality in Wigner form for $n$ distinct moments of time we prove that any unitary evolution of a quantum system contradicts the concept of macroscopic realism. We show that application of the concept of macroscopic realism to any quantum system leads to ``freezing'' of the system in the initial state. It is shown that for a particle with an infinite number of observables the probability to find a pair of the observables in some defined state is zero, even if the operators of these observables commute. This fact might serve as an additional logical argument for the contradiction between quantum theory and classical realism.

description: The paper considers the influence of β-hemihydrate and phosphogypsum binder on the properties of dry pack mortars for self-levelling floors. As preliminary research demonstrated that adding to phosphogypsum (PG) admixtures of lime and PA or PC superplasticizer permits to obtain binder with high compressive (up to 24 MPa) and bending strength (up to 12 MPa). The manufacturing of dry pack mortars for self-levelling floor underlayment was determined as one of the areas of PG application. There has been investigated composite binder consisted of PG, Portland cement and metakaolin. There have been determined linear deformations of PG/ based binder comparing to β-hemihydrate calcium sulphate binder and bending to compressive strength ratio. The method of planned experiment was applied for determination the optimal proportion of the components of the mortar. There were considered the sand / binder ratio, cement and metakaolin portions in binder, water-binder ratio and content of Tylose (water-retaining admixture). There was tested composite binder consisted of PG (or β-hemihydrate), PC and metakaolin. There were tested flow spread on Suttard's viscometer, time of application, and compressive strength at the age of 1, 3 and 28 days. The flow spread diameter of the mixtures was within the range of 180-200 mm, and time of application was between 30 and 45 min. The compressive strength of mortar specimens is up to 4 MPa, at the age of 3 days is 10 MPa and at the age of 28 days reaches 17 MPa. The increasing of Portland cement dosage and metakaolin makes the most positive effect on strength parameters. The mortar based on PG is applicable for underlayment of different flooring compounds types.

description: The relation between shapes of cosmic string and baryon number violation is investigated. If there exist fermionic zero modes on the string, using bosonization technique, it is possible to obtain the effective action which describes the fermion coupled to the arbitrarily shaped cosmic string. The relation between baryon number and the sum of the writhing number and linking number of the cosmic strings is rederived. Baryons are created on the strings as the shapes of the cosmic strings change. Furthermore we discuss implications of this baryon number violating process to baryogenesis.

description: In this research, justification ability is viewed from four indicators, namely the ability to develop mathematical arguments (proving), the ability to analyze (basic level), the ability to generalize, the ability to make decisions which are first analyzed for their initial mathematical abilities which are divided into three categories, namely high, medium and low levels. . The method used is quantitative with a quasi-experimental design, with division into experimental classes and control classes. The results obtained from each sample based on the initial mathematical ability level category are the highest N-Gain sequence at high KAM (0.3943), followed by medium KAM (0.3600) and overall KAM (0.514) and finally low KAM (0 ,22470)
