description: We present high resolution 11.7 and 18.3um mid-IR images of SN 1987A obtained on day 6526 with T-ReCS attached to the Gemini telescope. The 11.7um flux has increased significantly since our last observations on day 6067. The images clearly show that all the emission arises from the equatorial ring (ER). Spectra obtained with Spitzer, on day 6184 with MIPS at 24um, on day 6130 with IRAC in the 3.6-8um region, and on day 6190 with IRS in the 12-37um region show that the emission consists of thermal emission from silicate dust that condensed out in the red giant wind of the progenitor star. The dust temperature is ~166K, and the emitting dust mass is ~2.6 x 10-6 Msun. Lines of [Ne II]12.82um and [Ne III]15.56um are clearly present, as well as a weak [Si II]34.8um line. We also detect two lines near 26um which we tentatively ascribe to [Fe II]25.99um and [O IV]25.91um. Comparison of the Gemini 11.7um image with X-ray images from Chandra, UV-optical images from HST, and radio synchrotron images obtained by the ATCA show generally good correlation of the images across all wavelengths. Because of the limited resolution of the mid-IR images we cannot uniquely determine the location or heating mechanism of the dust giving rise to the emission. The dust could be collisionally heated by the X-ray emitting plasma, providing a unique diagnostic of plasma conditions. Alternatively, the dust could be radiatively heated in the dense UV-optical knots that are overrun by the advancing supernova blast wave. In either case the dust-to-gas mass ratio in the circumstellar medium around the supernova is significantly lower than that in the general ISM of the LMC, suggesting either a low condensation efficiency in the wind of the progenitor star, or the efficient destruction of the dust by the SN blast wave.

voluntary childlessness in Ecuador

description: Voluntary childlessness, also called “childfreeness”, is not a new phenomenon, it is currently discussed in the media, and there is abundant literature on the topic available. Nonetheless, literature pertaining to Latin America is scarce compared to other regions in the world, and literature exclusive to Ecuador is not available. The present study explores and analyses voluntary childlessness in Ecuador by drawing from narrative theory and decolonial feminism. The data was produced through individual narrative interviews with nine voluntarily childless Ecuadorian women living in Ecuador, ages ranging from 25 to 49. The material emerged in the dialogical encounters between the storytellers (participants) and the listener (me-the researcher) and was analysed narratively taking into account the broader social context of Ecuador. The findings reveal how voluntary childless women in Ecuador construct their narrative identity and negotiate their social positionings while also creating counterstories that protect their identity as childfree women in a pronatalist context. The material also allowed me to discuss the status of bodily autonomy in Ecuador and to understand the social underpinnings of master narratives that conflate womanhood with motherhood. This study contributes to the growing scholarship on voluntary childlessness in Latin America.

description: A scheme to infer the temporal coherence of EUV frequency combs generated from intra-cavity high-order harmonic generation is put forward. The excitation dynamics of highly charged Mg-like ions, interacting with EUV pulse trains featuring different carrier-envelope-phase fluctuations, are simulated. While demonstrating the microscopic origin of the macroscopic equivalence between excitations induced by pulse trains and continuous-wave lasers, we show that the coherence time of the pulse train can be determined from the spectrum of the excitations. The scheme will provide a verification of the comb temporal coherence at time scales several orders of magnitude longer than current state of the art, and at the same time will enable high-precision spectroscopy of EUV transitions with a relative accuracy up to $δω/ω\sim10^{-17}$.

description: [Objectives] This study aimed to study the effect of ethephon treatment on the growth of two main grape varieties Kyoho and Shine-Muscat. [Methods] Two-year-old Kyoho and Shine-Muscat grape plants transplanted in the film-covered steel-framed greenhouse were used as the test materials. They were pruned horizontally and linearly. In the late growth period, the new shoots were sprayed with ethephon (1 500×). During the germination period, 10 plants were randomly selected for each variety to investigate the germination situation. Before flowering, 20 new shoots with uniform growth were randomly selected for each variety to investigate the growth. During the fruit maturity period, 10 clusters of fruits were randomly selected for each variety to determine the related indices of fruit quality. [Results] After the treatment with ethephon, the germination, new shoot growth and fruit quality differed between the two varieties. Overall, the thickness of main stem, main vine and new shoot of Shine-Muscat was greater than that of Kyoho, and the length of new shoot of Kyoho was significantly greater than that of Shine-Muscat. [Conclusions] The growth of Shine-Muscat was more robust. There was little difference in the ear weight of natural fruit setting between the two varieties. Shine-Muscat showed high sugar and low acid contents than Kyoho.
Expected performance of interferometric air-shower measurements with sparse radio-antenna arrays

description: Inclined air showers open the window for the radio detection of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays with km-sparse radio-antenna arrays. The potential of those measurements would improve greatly with an accurate reconstruction of the depth of the shower maximum $X_{max}$. However, traditional methods using the lateral energy fluence distribution at the ground to reconstruct $_{Xmax}$ with radio antennas developed for vertical air showers lose their sensitivity. A recently proposed interferometric technique promises measurements of the depth of the shower maximum $X_{max}$ with an intrinsic accuracy of 3 gcm$^{−2}$ for very inclined air showers, however, without considering instrumental uncertainties.
In this contribution, we evaluate the potential of interferometric X$_{max}$ measurements of (simulated) inclined air showers with realistically dimensioned, sparse antenna arrays and account for imperfect time synchronization between individual antennas. We find a strong correlation between the antenna multiplicity (per event) and the maximum acceptable inaccuracy in the time synchronization of individual antennas. We formulate prerequisites for the design of antenna arrays for the application of interferometric measurements: For data recorded with a time synchronization accurate to 1 ns within the commonly used frequency band of 30 MHz to 80 MHz, an antenna multiplicity of $>∼50$ is needed to achieve an $X_{max}$ reconstruction with an accuracy of 20 gcm$^{−2}$. This multiplicity is achieved by measuring inclined air showers with zenith angles $θ≥77.5°$ with 1 km spaced antenna arrays, while vertical air showers with zenith angles $θ≤40°$ require an antenna spacing below 100 m. Furthermore, we find no improvement in the $X_{max}$ resolution applying the interferometric reconstruction to simulated radio signals at higher frequencies, i.e., up to several hundred MHz.

description: This work presents a new methodology to obtain probabilistic interval predictions of a dynamical system. The proposed strategy uses stored past system measurements to estimate the future evolution of the system. The method relies on the use of dissimilarity functions to estimate the conditional probability density function of the outputs. A family of empirical probability density functions, parameterized by means of two scalars, is introduced. It is shown that the proposed family encompasses the multivariable normal probability density function as a particular case. We show that the presented approach constitutes a generalization of classical estimation methods. A validation scheme is used to tune the two parameters on which the methodology relies. In order to prove the effectiveness of the presented methodology, some numerical examples and comparisons are provided.

description: If one replaces the constraints of the Ashtekar-Barbero $SU(2)$ gauge theory formulation of Euclidean gravity by their $U(1)^3$ version, one arrives at a consistent model which captures significant structure of its $SU(2)$ version. In particular, it displays a non trivial realisation of the hypersurface deformation algebra which makes it an interesting testing ground for (Euclidean) quantum gravity as has been emphasised in a recent series of papers due to Varadarajan et al. In this paper we consider a reduced phase space approach to this model. This is especially attractive because, after a canonical transformation, the constraints are at most {\it linear} in the momenta. In suitable gauges, it is therefore possible to find a closed and explicit formula for the physical Hamiltonian which depends only on the physical observables. Not surprisingly, that physical Hamiltonian is generically neither polynomial nor spatially local. The corresponding reduced phase space quantisation can be confronted with the constraint quantisation due to Varadarajan et al to gain further insights into the quantum realisation of the hypersurface deformation algebra.

Empowerment : a reflection on the normative in sociology
Creators: name: Seary, Jesse Keith
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Empowerment is a "moral" event which provides the opportunity for sociology to reflect upon the normative dimension. of critical sociological investigation. Previously, the normative was set within broad emancipatory (praxis) dialogues. Empowerment suggests these are vestiges of the critical rationalism carried by modernist discourses. With the appearance of empowerment, the normative has become localised in a plurality of empowerment claims which express the desire to reconstruct our relationship with our self, others, and a "good" society. As such, if sociology is to retain its critical normative dimension, it should reflexively restructure its understanding of, and methodological approach to, the normative. It should do so consistent with what empowered actors are expressing about the moral dimension of contemporary life unless, of course, it wishes to identify itself (alongside the empowering helping professions) as a colonising enterprise. The sociological meaningfulness of empowerment is obscured by discourses of the helping professions. Three of these are examined - Social Work, Psychology, and Evaluation - and it is demonstrated how their respective programmatic rationales, informed as they are by the modernist essentialist and scientistic discourse, resist a reconsideration of empowerment as a "moral" event. By "pegging" the empowerment claims of social actors to the broader discourses of self, via a conceptual mapping approach, there is shown to be not one (as the helping professions would have it) but several empowerments within the present conceptual landscape. Each is consistent with, and illustrative of, different selfs claiming selfconstruction as an accomplishment within varying imaginings of others and a "good" society. Together, they suggest empowerments are existential "phenomena" which point to the (re)emergence of "moral" . issues within the ontological domain of self construction. This has implications for the normative within critical sociological analysis. These implications are framed within three "reflective considerations". They are meant to steer critical sociological analysis (and hopefully empowering helping professionals) toward a focus on and a reconsideration of its normative content, given that the moral dimension of contemporary life may be an event constituting a plurality of moral imaginings.

description: Our ab initio calculations of CO adsorption on several low and high miller index surfaces of Cu show that the adsorption energy increases as the coordination of the adsorption site decreases from 11 to 6, in qualitative agreement with experimental observations. On each surface the adsorption energy is also found to decrease with increase in coverage, although the decrement is not uniform. Calculated vibrational properties show an increase in the frequency of the metal-C mode with decrease in coordination whereas no such effect is found in the frequency of the CO stretch mode. Examination of the surface electronic structure shows a strong local effect of CO adsorption on the local density of state of the substrate atoms. We also provide some energetics of CO diffusion on Cu(111) and Cu(211).

The previously known complete ${\cal O}(m_qα_s^5)$ result for the heavy quarkonium ground state energy is extended to the exited states. After including the ${\cal O}(α_s^3)$ corrections the perturbative results are in surprisingly good agreement with the experimental data on the masses of the excited $Υ$ resonances and the leptonic width of the $Υ(1S)$ meson. The impact of the corrections on the $Υ$ sum rules and top quark-antiquark threshold production cross section is also discussed.

We relate the moments to the electric dipole moment of electron (eEDM) and estimate $μ^{CP}$ for several diamagnetic polar molecules. The moments exhibit a steep, Z^5, scaling with the nuclear charge Z of the heavier molecular constituent. A measurement of the CP-violating magnetization of a polarized sample of heavy molecules may improve the present limit on eEDM by several orders of magnitude.

An interacting dark energy model is proposed with Generalized Chaplygin Gas (GCG) in the framework of Compact Kaluza-Klein gravity. It is shown that a stable configuration can be found in the present epoch which is also compatible with the observed value of the density parameter. It is noted that dark energy (DE) might have evolved from a phantom phase in the past. Nature of dark energy is found to depend on the coupling parameter of the interaction. Classical stability consideration is also found to put an upper bound on the model parameter.

description: We present an exhaustive analysis of five broad-band observations of GRS 1915+105 in two variability states, chi and omega, observed simultaneously by the PCA, HEXTE and OSSE. We find all the spectra well fitted by Comptonization of disc blackbody photons, with very strong evidence for the presence of a nonthermal electron component in the Comptonizing plasma. Both the energy and the power spectra in the chi state are typical to the very high/intermediate state of black-hole binaries. The spectrum of the omega state is characterized by a strong blackbody component Comptonized by thermal electrons and a weak nonthermal tail. We then calculate rms spectra (fractional variability as functions of energy) for the PCA data. We accurately model the rms spectra by coherent superposition of variability in the components implied by the spectral fits, namely a less variable blackbody and more variable Comptonization. The latter dominates at high energies, resulting in a flattening of the rms at high energies in most of the data. This is also the case for the spectra of the QPOs present in the chi state. Then, some of our data require a radial dependence of the rms of the disc blackbody. We also study the distance to the source, and find 11 kpc as the most likely value, contrary to a recent claim of a much lower value.

description: In the current article, we study anisotropic spherically symmetric strange star under the background of $f(R,T)$ gravity using the metric potentials of Tolman-Kuchowicz type~\cite{Tolman1939,Kuchowicz1968} as $λ(r)=\ln(1+ar^2+br^4)$ and $ν(r)=Br^2+2\ln C$ which are free from singularity, satisfy stability criteria and also well behaved. We calculate the value of constants $a$, $b$, $B$ and $C$ using matching conditions and the observed values of the masses and radii of known samples. To describe the strange quark matter (SQM) distribution, here we have used the phenomenological MIT bag model equation of state (EOS) where the density profile ($ρ$) is related to the radial pressure ($p_r$) as $p_r(r)=\frac{1}{3}(ρ-4B_g)$. Here quark pressure is responsible for generation of bag constant $B_g$. Motivation behind this study lies in finding out a non-singular physically acceptable solution having various properties of strange stars. The model shows consistency with various energy conditions, TOV equation, Herrera's cracking condition and also with Harrison-Zel$'$dovich-Novikov's static stability criteria. Numerical values of EOS parameter and the adiabatic index also enhance the acceptability of our model.

Energy and $X_\mathrm{max}$ Reconstruction for Cosmic-Ray Events Recorded by a Prototype Station of the IceCube Surface Enhancement

description: The IceTop array, located at the surface of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole, is currently used as a veto for the in-ice neutrino detection as well as a cosmic-ray detector. Over the years, additional snow has accumulated on the IceTop detectors leading to a reduction in sensitivity and resolution.
In order to mitigate this issue as well as further increase the accuracy of cosmic-ray measurements, a detector enhancement is planned in the next few years. The enhanced array will consist of 32 stations, each comprising 8 scintillation detectors and 3 radio antennas, and will span an area of approximately 1km$^2$. Specifically, upgrading IceTop with radio antennas will provide precise $X_{max}$ measurements, a variable widely used to reconstruct the composition of cosmic rays.
In January 2020, a complete prototype station
was deployed at the South Pole. Following the measurement of cosmic-ray events with the antennas,
we developed the tools necessary to use a template-matching method for energy and $X_{max}$ reconstruction.
This template method uses Monte-Carlo simulations and compares them to recorded data. Thus, a set of simulated air showers is created using air shower parameters reconstructed by IceTop as input to the CORSIKA/CoREAS simulation software for each of the measured events.
In this work, the method is applied to measured events, and we will show that it works for a third of the events in the sample. Subsequently, the technique is modified into a log-likelihood minimization, and the results obtained with a simulations-only study of different parameters are discussed. This work concludes with a confirmation that the template method works for air showers recorded with a frequency band of 80 to 300MHz,
and shows that the log-likelihood method can potentially increase the accuracy of $X_{max}$ reconstruction for the complete planned array.

description: The precise control of complex quantum systems promises numerous technological applications including digital quantum computing. The complexity of such devices renders the certification of their correct functioning a challenge. To address this challenge, numerous methods were developed in the last decade. In this tutorial, we explain prominent protocols for certifying the physical layer of quantum devices described by quantum states and processes. Such protocols are particularly important in the development of near-term devices. Specifically, we discuss methods of direct quantum state certification, direct fidelity estimation, shadow fidelity estimation, direct quantum process certification, randomized benchmarking and cross-entropy benchmarking. Moreover, we provide an introduction to powerful mathematical methods, which are widely used in quantum information theory, in order to derive theoretical guarantees for the protocols.

Particular attention is paid to the sensitivity of different observables upon the effects of model-dependent contributions and of the magnetic dipole moment of the $ρ^-(770)$ vector meson. Important numerical differences are found with respect to results obtained in the framework of chiral perturbation theory.

description: We present two methods of independently mapping the dimensions of the sensitive volume in an ion-counting nanodosimeter. The first method is based on a calculational approach simulating the extraction of ions from the sensitive volume, and the second method on probing the sensitive volume with 250 MeV protons. Sensitive-volume maps obtained with both methods are compared and systematic errors inherent in both methods are quantified.

description: We perform a study of the interfacial properties of a model suspension of hard sphere colloids with diameter $σ_c$ and non-adsorbing ideal polymer coils with diameter $σ_p$. For the mixture in contact with a planar hard wall, we obtain from simulations the wall-fluid interfacial free energy, $γ_{wf}$, for size ratios $q=σ_p/σ_c=0.6$ and 1, using thermodynamic integration, and study the (excess) adsorption of colloids, $Γ_c$, and of polymers, $Γ_p$, at the hard wall. The interfacial tension of the free liquid-gas interface, $γ_{lg}$, is obtained following three different routes in simulations: i) from studying the system size dependence of the interfacial width according to the predictions of capillary wave theory, ii) from the probability distribution of the colloid density at coexistence in the grand canonical ensemble, and iii) for statepoints where the colloidal liquid wets the wall completely, from Young's equation relating $γ_{lg}$ to the difference of wall-liquid and wall-gas interfacial tensions, $γ_{wl}-γ_{wg}$. In addition, we calculate $γ_{wf}, Γ_c$, and $Γ_p$ using density functional theory and a scaled particle theory based on free volume theory. Good agreement is found between the simulation results and those from density functional theory, while the results from scaled particle theory quantitatively deviate but reproduce some essential features. Simulation results for $γ_{lg}$ obtained from the three different routes are all in good agreement. Density functional theory predicts $γ_{lg}$ with good accuracy for high polymer reservoir packing fractions, but yields deviations from the simulation results close to the critical point.

ENDOGENOUS QUALITY AND AGRICULTURAL POLICY ANALYSIS
Creators: name: James, Jennifer S.
name: James, Jennifer S.
Publisher: name: Unknown
Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: Agricultural and Food Policy
subject: agricultural policy analysis
subject: quality variation

description: The typical analysis of agricultural policy assumes that the commodity of interest is homogeneous, and that it does not change as a result of policy implementation. This paper develops a model of agricultural policy analysis when the restriction of product homogeneity is relaxed and policy-induced quality responses are incorporated.

description: Magnetic susceptibility, M-H plot, magnetoresistance and thermoelectric power of the RuSr2Eu1.5Ce0.5Cu2O10 superconductor are measured. Values of the magnetic transition temperature Tmag, superconductivity transition temperature Tc, upper critical field Hc2, chemical potential mu, and energy width for electric conduction W(sigma) are obtained from these measurements. It has been found that Tmag = 140 K, Tc = 25 K (33 K) from susceptibility (magnetoresistance) measurements, Hc2 (0) > 32 T, mu = 8 meV, and W(sigma) = 58.5 meV. These values are compared with other ruthenate superconductors, and resulting physical information is discussed.

subject: food demand
subject: quality effects

description: This study develops a unique double-hurdle model of demand for composite food commodities which endogenizes unit values. The model structure allows us to account for the inability to observe such values for non-purchasing households and simultaneously adjusts for quality demand effects reflected in these unit values. Application to Mexican household food expenditure data shows the importance of controlling for the quality of composite goods. We find that poultry and pork expenditures depend on both quantity demanded and quality desired.

Star product for deformed oscillator algebra $\mathsf{Aq}(2,ν)$
Creators: name: Korybut, A. V.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: An analogue of the Moyal star product is presented for the deformed oscillator algebra. It contains several homotopy-like additional integration parameters in the multiplication kernel generalizing the differential Moyal star-product formula $\exp[iε_{αβ}\partial^α\partial^β]$. Using Pochhammer formula, integration over these parameters is carried over a Riemann surface associated with the expression of the type $z^x (1-z)^y$ where $x$ and $y$ are arbitrary real numbers.
Caring for their community : study of moral exemplars in transition to adulthood
Creators: name: Matsuba, Michio Kyle
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: In response to the overemphasis on cognition in understanding the moral domain, this study attempted to draw attention to the contribution personality can make. To do this, people affiliated with health, social and religious organizations were contacted and asked to nominate young adults whom they considered to be moral exemplars. Forty nominated moral exemplars participated in the study, along with forty comparison individuals who were matched to the exemplar group on age, gender, years of education, and ethnicity. Each person was given a battery of questionnaires, as well as participated in a life narrative interview. It was found that, in contrast to the comparison group, moral exemplars possessed a different personality disposition with these individuals rating themselves higher on the trait dimension of Agreeableness. On development-related measures, moral exemplars were found to be more mature in their thinking as reflected in higher scores on Faith Development and Moral Reasoning. As well, moral exemplars were further along in their identity formation as revealed in lower scores on Identity Diffusion. Within the stories regarding their life's high points, more agentic themes were found in those stories coming from moral exemplars. However, when it came to managing their everyday projects, moral exemplars were more disorganized. These diverse findings are discussed in reference to the contributions they make to the formation of a moral identity in the early adult years.

Coherent Interaction of Spins Induced by Thermal Bosonic Environment

description: We obtain and analyze the indirect exchange interaction between two two-state systems, e.g., spins, in a formulation that also incorporates the quantum noise that they experience, due to a bosonic environment, for instance, phonons. We utilize a perturbative approach to obtain a quantum evolution equation for the two-spin dynamics. A non-perturbative approach is used to study the onset of the induced interaction, which is calculated exactly. We predict that for low enough temperatures the interaction is coherent over time scales sufficient to create entanglement, dominated by the zero-point quantum fluctuations of the environment. We identify the time scales for which the spins develop entanglement for various spatial separations.

description: In this paper, a fuzzy graph clustering model is presented to identify overlapping communities in a complex network. A center-based fuzzy clustering model is developed based on the possibilistic c-means clustering model, and the distance measure is defined based on the similarity to the clusters’ centers. The performance of the clustering process is evaluated by intra and intercluster density. In addition, experimental results from two artificially generated networks and two realworld networks (social interactions between karate club members and a part of the twitter network) indicate the new model’s performance.
