description: The direction of the spin vectors of disk galaxies change over time. We present the tilting rate of a sample of galaxies in the NIHAO suite of cosmological hydrodynamical simulations. Galaxies in our sample have been selected to be isolated and to have well determined spins. We compare the tilting rates to the predicted observing limit of Gaia, finding that our entire sample lies above the limit, in agreement with previous work. To test the role of dark matter and of gas we compare the weighted Pearson's correlation coefficients between the tilting rates and various properties. We find no correlation between the dark halo's tilting rate, shape, or misalignment with respect to the disc, and the tilting rate of the stellar disc. Therefore, we argue that, in the presence of gas, the dark halo plays a negligible role in the tilting of the stellar disc. On the other hand, we find a strong correlation between the tilting rate of the stellar disc and the misalignment of the cold gas warp. Adding the stellar mass fraction improves the correlation, while none of the dark matter's properties together with the cold gas misalignment improves the correlation to any significant extent. This implies that the gas cooling onto the disc is the principal driver of disc tilting.

A two-phase model for the Narrow Line Region of NGC 4151

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

description: NGC 4151 is one of the brightest and best-studied Seyfert galaxies. Here, we present a two-phase model of the narrow-line region (NLR) of NGC 4151. This study is motivated by (i) the fact that the X-ray spectrum of NGC 4151 is among the flattest known for Seyferts, and (ii) the recent Chandra detection of an X-ray narrow-line region in this galaxy. X-ray spectra as flat as that of NGC 4151 (Gamma_x = -1.5) are expected to favor the presence of two gas phases in pressure equilibrium (Krolik, McKee & Tarter 1981). In the present study, we show that a pronounced two-phase equilibrium develops in the extended emission-line region if we use the observed multi-wavelength spectrum of NGC 4151 to ionize the clouds. The material is stable to isobaric perturbations over a wide range of temperatures. We therefore propose that such a condition has arisen in the NLR of NGC 4151, and that it explains the detection of hot, extended X-ray gas which we identify as the NLR-cloud confining medium.

description: In this paper we ask: why do people in rural agrarian communities facing increasing migration pressures from changing climatic conditions, stay? We aim to understand why people stay, who stays, what are the impacts of migration on those who stay, and what are their needs for adaptation? We study a population of people who do not migrate from Himalayan communities of Uttarakhand, India, despite their livelihoods being already severely disrupted by climate change climate change and high outmigration has led to abandoned so-called ‘ghost villages’. Semi-structured interviews (n = 72) were held with affected communities, experts, and policymakers. Results show that motivations for immobility are shaped by place attachment; place-based resource advantages; social milieu; dependence on subsistence agriculture and gender roles. We find that immobility experiences are differentiated by gender, age and in situ resources. Those who stay are negatively impacted by migration via loss of labour in agriculture, changes in population size and composition, loss of community, in addition to the negative impacts of climate change. Our results are likely relevant on a global scale, to other subsistence smallholder communities who stay despite increasing climate risks. These populations will need gender-sensitive support to adapt in place.

SPH compressible turbulence
Creators: name: Monaghan, J. J.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper an SPH version of the alpha turbulence model devised by Holm and his colleagues is formulated for compressible flow with a resolution that varies in space and time. The alpha model involves two velocity fields. One velocity field is obtained from the momentum equation, the other by averaging this velocity field as in the version of SPH called XSPH. The particles (fluid elements) are moved with the averaged velocity. In analogy to the continuum alpha model we obtain a particle Lagrangian from which the SPH alpha equations can be derived. The system satisfies a discrete Kelvin circulation theorem identical to that obtained with no velocity averaging. In addition, the energy, linear and angular momentum are conserved. We show that the continuum equivalent of the SPH equations are identical to the continuum alpha model, and we conjecture that they will have the same desirable features of the continuum modelincluding the reduction of energy in the high wave number modes even when the dissipation is zero. Regardless of issues concerning turbulence modelling, the SPH alpha model is a powerful extension of the XSPH algorithm which reduces disorder at short length scales and retains the constants of the motion. The SPH alpha model is simple to implement.
Discrete-time autoregressive model for unequally spaced time-series observations

description: Most time-series models assume that the data come from observations that are equally spaced in time. However, this assumption does not hold in many diverse scientific fields, such as astronomy, finance, and climatology, among others. There are some techniques that fit unequally spaced time series, such as the continuous-time autoregressive moving average (CARMA) processes. These models are defined as the solution of a stochastic differential equation. It is not uncommon in astronomical time series, that the time gaps between observations are large. Therefore, an alternative suitable approach to modeling astronomical time series with large gaps between observations should be based on the solution of a difference equation of a discrete process. In this work we propose a novel model to fit irregular time series called the complex irregular autoregressive (CIAR) model that is represented directly as a discrete-time process. We show that the model is weakly stationary and that it can be represented as a state-space system, allowing efficient maximum likelihood estimation based on the Kalman recursions. Furthermore, we show via Monte Carlo simulations that the finite sample performance of the parameter estimation is accurate. The proposed methodology is applied to light curves from periodic variable stars, illustrating how the model can be implemented to detect poor adjustment of the harmonic model. This can occur when the period has not been accurately estimated or when the variable stars are multiperiodic. Last, we show how the CIAR model, through its state space representation, allows unobserved measurements to be forecast.

A Search for Fine Structure of the Knee in EAS Size Spectra

description: 28 size spectra of extensive air showers from 7 different experiments are analysed consistently. They are fitted by adjusting either 4 or 5 parameters: knee position, power law exponents above and below the knee, overall intensity and, in addition, a parameter describing the smoothness of the bend. The residuals are then normalized to the same knee position and averaged. When 5 parameters are employed no systematic deviation from a single smooth knee is apparent at the 1% level up to a factor of 4 above the knee. At larger shower sizes a moderately significant deviation can be seen whose shape and position are compatible with a second knee caused by iron group nuclei.

description: Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is an intriguing quantum-mechanical effect that is used for daily life medical diagnostics and chemical analysis alike. Numerous advancements have contributed to the success of the technique, including hyperpolarized contrast agents that enables real-time imaging of metabolism in vivo. In physics, hyperpolarization has enabled an NMR RASER using a custom low-field setup and high-Q coils only recently. Expanding on this discovery, we report the finding of a RASER emitting 1H NMR signal continuously for more than 10 min at a high frequency of 600 MHz. Full chemical shift resolution is maintained and a linewidth of 2 ppb was achieved. A new simulation of a RASER effect in a coupled two spin-1/2 system was implemented and reproduced experimental findings. The effect was found using standard equipment only; no dedicated setup is necessary, making the NMR RASER accessible to a wide group of researchers.

description: We compute the value distributions of the eigenfunctions and spectral determinant of the Schrodinger operator on families of star graphs. The values of the spectral determinant are shown to have a Cauchy distribution with respect both to averages over bond lengths in the limit as the wavenumber tends to infinity and to averages over wavenumber when the bond lengths are fixed and not rationally related. This is in contrast to the spectral determinants of random matrices, for which the logarithm is known to satisfy a Gaussian limit distribution. The value distribution of the eigenfunctions also differs from the corresponding random matrix result. We argue that the value distributions of the spectral determinant and of the eigenfunctions should coincide with those of Seba-type billiards.

description: We present WeCAPP, a long term monitoring project searching for microlensing events towards M 31. Since 1997 the bulge of M 31 was monitored in two different wavebands with the Wendelstein 0.8 m telescope. In 1999 we extended our observations to the Calar Alto 1.23 m telescope. Observing simultaneously at these two sites we obtained a time coverage of 53 % during the observability of M 31. To check thousands of frames for variability of unresolved sources, we used the optimal image subtraction method (OIS) by Alard & Lupton (1998) This enabled us to minimize the residuals in the difference image analysis (DIA) and to detect variable sources with amplitudes at the photon noise level. Thus we can detect microlensing events with corresponding amplifications A > 10 of red clump giants with M_I = 0.

Subjects: subject: Data Structures and Algorithms (cs.DS)

description: In this paper, we study the stochastic unbounded min-knapsack problem ($\textbf{Min-SUKP}$). The ordinary unbounded min-knapsack problem states that: There are $n$ types of items, and there is an infinite number of items of each type. The items of the same type have the same cost and weight. We want to choose a set of items such that the total weight is at least $W$ and the total cost is minimized. The \prob~generalizes the ordinary unbounded min-knapsack problem to the stochastic setting, where the weight of each item is a random variable following a known distribution and the items of the same type follow the same weight distribution. In \prob, different types of items may have different cost and weight distributions. In this paper, we provide an FPTAS for $\textbf{Min-SUKP}$, i.e., the approximate value our algorithm computes is at most $(1+ε)$ times the optimum, and our algorithm runs in $poly(1/ε,n,\log W)$ time.

description: Pulsar braking torques due to magnetodipole radiation and to unipolar generator are considered, which results in braking index being less than 3 and could be employed to test the emission models. Improved equations to obtain pulsar braking index and magnetic field are presented if we deem that the rotation energy loss rate equals to the sum of the dipole radiation energy loss rate and that of relativistic particles powered by unipolar generator. The magnetic field calculated by conventional way could be good enough but only modified by a factor of ~0.6 at most. Both inner and outer gaps may coexist in the magnetosphere of the Vela pulsar.

description: The simulation of charge transport in ultra-scaled electronic devices requires the knowledge of the atomic configuration and the associated potential. Such "atomistic" device simulation is most commonly handled using a tight-binding approach based on a basis-set of localized orbitals. Here, in contrast to this widely used tight-binding approach, we formulate the problem using a highly accurate plane-wave representation of the atomic (pseudo)-potentials. We develop a new approach that separately deals with the intrinsic Hamiltonian, containing the potential due to the atomic configuration, and the extrinsic Hamiltonian, related to the external potential. We realize efficient performance by implementing a finite-element like partition-of-unity approach combining linear shape functions with Bloch-wave enhancement functions. We match the performance of previous tight-binding approaches, while retaining the benefits of a plane wave based model. We present the details of our model and its implementation in a full-fledged self-consistent ballistic quantum transport solver. We demonstrate our implementation by simulating the electronic transport and device characteristics of a graphene nanoribbon transistor containing more than 2000 atoms. We analyze the accuracy, numerical efficiency and scalability of our approach. We are able to speed up calculations by a factor of 100 compared to previous methods based on plane waves and envelope functions. Furthermore, our reduced basis-set results in a significant reduction of the required memory budget, which enables devices with thousands of atoms to be simulated on a personal computer.

description: Drip irrigation can be a transformational technology for smallholders in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). However, the diffusion and adoption of drip irrigation remain limited due to the existence of key barriers, and use of drip irrigation has largely been confined to donor- and government-supported irrigation projects. This paper therefore investigates actions to overcome key barriers, with a focus on the role of donors in these efforts. Based on documentary analysis of, respectively, policy reports and the OECD’s database of bilateral aid, we construct a framework for measures that enable the diffusion and adoption of drip irrigation and then assess how bilateral aid organizations have taken part in these measures. Focusing on bilateral aid in the period 2013–2019, we show how a large share of projects, through support for smallholder irrigation schemes, have focused on increasing farmers’ technical skills and linking them with agricultural markets, as well as enhancing extension services and providing capacity-building for public institutions. However, these projects have paid less attention to improving the supply chains for irrigation equipment and farm inputs such as seeds and fertilizers. We therefore recommend that future donor interventions into drip irrigation apply system-oriented perspectives which consider markets conditions for finance and for agricultural inputs and outputs.

description: Understanding learning materials (e.g. test questions) is a crucial issue in online learning systems, which can promote many applications in education domain. Unfortunately, many supervised approaches suffer from the problem of scarce human labeled data, whereas abundant unlabeled resources are highly underutilized. To alleviate this problem, an effective solution is to use pre-trained representations for question understanding. However, existing pre-training methods in NLP area are infeasible to learn test question representations due to several domain-specific characteristics in education. First, questions usually comprise of heterogeneous data including content text, images and side information. Second, there exists both basic linguistic information as well as domain logic and knowledge. To this end, in this paper, we propose a novel pre-training method, namely QuesNet, for comprehensively learning question representations. Specifically, we first design a unified framework to aggregate question information with its heterogeneous inputs into a comprehensive vector. Then we propose a two-level hierarchical pre-training algorithm to learn better understanding of test questions in an unsupervised way. Here, a novel holed language model objective is developed to extract low-level linguistic features, and a domain-oriented objective is proposed to learn high-level logic and knowledge. Moreover, we show that QuesNet has good capability of being fine-tuned in many question-based tasks. We conduct extensive experiments on large-scale real-world question data, where the experimental results clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of QuesNet for question understanding as well as its superior applicability.
Implications of Culture on the Successes and Failures of Democratic Transition in Georgia and Azerbaijan: A Comparative Study
Creators: name: Bryant, Michelle
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The objective of this study is to evaluate claims made by some scholars that there is a significant correlation between certain cultural norms of a given society and that society's propensity towards democratic governance. I will attempt to show that this is in fact a viable, though not solitary, explanation for the varied types and degrees of democracy in existence today. To do this, I will compare and contrast two countries which share many similarities in their historical experiences, but are critically dissimilar in their current status as successful democracies: Georgia and Azerbaijan. The shared legacy of Soviet rule in these states provides a uniform starting point from which to observe subsequent divergent developments in democracy. This study will explore post-Communist successes and failures of each state, using generally accepted democratic benchmarks to be defined below, and attempt to relate these back to observable cultural characteristics present in each state. The research presented here has significant implications for scholars and politicians alike in their quest to promote prosperity and stabilization through the means of democracy. The consideration of culture as a significant driver of institutional success or failure could result in a vast improvement and expansion of possible policy solutions.

A Comparison of Methods for Identifying Location Effects in Unreplicated Fractional Factorials in the Presence of Dispersion Effects

description: Most methods for identifying location effects in unreplicated fractional factorial designs assume homoscedasticity of the response values. However, dispersion effects in the underlying process may create heteroscedasticity in the response values. This heteroscedasticity may go undetected when identification of location effects is pursued. Indeed, methods for identifying dispersion effects typically require first modeling location effects. Therefore, it is imperative to understand how methods for identifying location effects function in the presence of undetected dispersion effects. We used simulation studies to examine the robustness of four different methods for identifying location effects---Box and Meyer (1986), Lenth (1989), Berk and Picard (1991), and Loughin and Noble (1997)---under models with one, two, or three dispersion effects of varying sizes. We found that the first three methods usually performed acceptably with respect to error rates and power, but the Loughin-Noble method lost control of the individual error rate when moderate-to-large dispersion effects were present.

description: During the spreading of epithelial tissues, the advancing tissue front often develops fingerlike protrusions. Their resemblance to traditional viscous fingering patterns in driven fluids suggests that epithelial fingers could arise from an interfacial instability. However, the existence and physical mechanism of such a putative instability remain unclear. Here, based on an active polar fluid model for epithelial spreading, we analytically predict a generic instability of the tissue front. On the one hand, active cellular traction forces impose a velocity gradient that leads to an accelerated front, which is, thus, unstable to long-wavelength perturbations. On the other hand, contractile intercellular stresses typically dominate over surface tension in stabilizing short-wavelength perturbations. Finally, the finite range of hydrodynamic interactions in the tissue selects a wavelength for the fingering pattern, which is, thus, given by the smallest between the tissue size and the hydrodynamic screening length. Overall, we show that spreading epithelia experience an active fingering instability based on a simple kinematic mechanism. Moreover, our results underscore the crucial role of long-range hydrodynamic interactions in the dynamics of tissue morphology.

description: Nucleon momentum distributions at various densities and isospin-asymmetries for nuclear matter are investigated systematically within the extended Bruecker-Hartree-Fock approach.The shapes of the normalized momentum distributions varying with $k/k_{F}$ are practically identical, while the density and isospin dependent magnitude of the distribution is directly related to the depletion of the Fermi sea. Based on these properties, a parameterized formula is proposed with the parameters calibrated to the calculated result.
