description: We have performed small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) of the flux line lattice (FLL) in a Fe doped NbSe_2 sample which presents a large peak effect in the critical current. The scattered intensity and the width of the Bragg peaks of the equilibrium FLL indicate an ordered structure in the peak effect zone. The history dependence in the FLL structure has been studied using field cooled and zero field cooled procedures, and each state shows the same intensity of Bragg scattering and good orientational order. These results strongly suggest that the peak effect is unrelated to a bulk disordering transition, and confirm the role of a heterogeneous distribution of screening current.

description: Three-body resonances in atomic systems are calculated as complex-energy solutions of Faddeev-type integral equations. The homogeneous Faddeev-Merkuriev integral equations are solved by approximating the potential terms in a Coulomb-Sturmian basis. The Coulomb-Sturmian matrix elements of the three-body Coulomb Green's operator has been calculated as a contour integral of two-body Coulomb Green's matrices. This approximation casts the integral equation into a matrix equation and the complex energies are located as the complex zeros of the Fredholm determinant. We calculated resonances of the e-Ps system at higher energies and for total angular momentum L=1 with natural and unnatural parity

Subjects: subject: Pricing of Securities (q-fin.PR)

description: In this article we consider the problem of pricing and hedging high-dimensional Asian basket options by Quasi-Monte Carlo simulation. We assume a Black-Scholes market with time-dependent volatilities and show how to compute the deltas by the aid of the Malliavin Calculus, extending the procedure employed by Montero and Kohatsu-Higa (2003). Efficient path-generation algorithms, such as Linear Transformation and Principal Component Analysis, exhibit a high computational cost in a market with time-dependent volatilities. We present a new and fast Cholesky algorithm for block matrices that makes the Linear Transformation even more convenient. Moreover, we propose a new-path generation technique based on a Kronecker Product Approximation. This construction returns the same accuracy of the Linear Transformation used for the computation of the deltas and the prices in the case of correlated asset returns while requiring a lower computational time. All these techniques can be easily employed for stochastic volatility models based on the mixture of multi-dimensional dynamics introduced by Brigo et al. (2004).

description: Engineering of Sport 15 - Proceedings from the 15th International Conference on the Engineering of Sport (ISEA 2024)
Surface roughness has a profound impact on the aerodynamics of soccer balls. Whilst there has been significant research in this field in the last two decades, the need to standardize parameters arises from the fact that balls have varied parameters, some having none of a particular parameter e.g., pimples/dimples. Standardization becomes even more imperative with the release of new ball designs in every new competition. This study aims to standardize surface roughness parameters across various ball designs via a combination of ISO standard 21920:2021 parameters. This paper commences the study by demonstrating the relationship between the drag coefficient (CD) and two ISO standard parameters: Mean Pit Depth (Rv) and Density of Pits (Rvd).

description: With the high number of extrasolar planets discovered by now, it becomes possible to constrain theoretical formation models in a statistical sense. This paper is the first in a series in which we carry out a large number of planet population synthesis calculations. We begin the series with a paper mainly dedicated to the presentation of our approach, but also the discussion of a representative synthetic planetary population of solar like stars. Based as tightly as possible on observational data, we have derived probability distributions for the most important initial conditions for the planetary formation process. We then draw sets of initial conditions from these distributions and obtain the corresponding synthetic planets with our formation model. Although the main purpose of this paper is the description of our methods, we present some key results: We find that the variation of the initial conditions in the limits occurring in nature leads to the formation of planets of large diversity. This formation process is best visualized in planetary formation tracks, where different phases of concurrent growth and migration can be identified. These phases lead to the emergence of sub-populations of planets distinguishable in a mass-semimajor axis diagram. The most important ones are the "failed cores", a vast group of core-dominated low mass planets, the "horizontal branch", a sub-population of Neptune mass planets extending out to 6 AU, and the "main clump", a concentration of giant gaseous giants planets at around 0.3-2 AU.

Planetary Period Modulations of Dynamics in Saturn’s Nightside Magnetosphere
Creators: name: Bradley, Thomas J.
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2021
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This thesis principally studies the effects of magnetic field perturbations, and their associated large scale current systems, that modulate Saturn’s magnetosphere near to the planet’s rotation period. These planetary period oscillations (PPOs) consist of two current systems, one associated with the northern hemisphere, and one associated with the southern hemisphere. Within the thesis are three detailed studies pertaining to the PPOs. Firstly, we newly examine Cassini magnetic field data from highly inclined orbits in 2012/2013 for signatures of field-aligned currents during Saturn’s northern spring, and compare these with a similar prior study of data from 2008 during late southern summer conditions to investigate for seasonal modulation. This study confirms a north/south seasonal asymmetry of the subcorotation currents across the polar regions, and newly reveals dual-modulation of the PPO current systems in both hemispheres. The second study consists of a statistical analysis of reconnection events in Saturn’s magnetotail observed by Smith et al. (2016), which are organised here by three different PPO phase systems. Clear modulation is found by all phase systems, however, best organisation is found for a phase system that considers the local time of the observations, indicating that the events are localised in azimuth rather than simultaneously affecting much of the tail width. Finally, in the third study reactions to solar wind compressions are investigated in Saturn’s magnetotail, for which clear responses are found using a variety of Cassini instrument observations. The response to compressions is newly found to be modulated by the concurrent relative phasing of the PPO systems, with evidence for the closure of magnetic flux being favoured when the two PPO systems act together to thin and thicken the tail plasma sheet during each PPO cycle. Overall, these studies emphasize how strongly activity in Saturn’s magnetosphere is modulated by the PPOs and heliospheric conditions.

description: Spin-transfer torque and current induced spin dynamics in spin-valve nanopillars with the free magnetic layer located between two magnetic films of fixed magnetic moments is considered theoretically. The spin-transfer torque in the limit of diffusive spin transport is calculated as a function of magnetic configuration. It is shown that non-collinear magnetic configuration of the outermost magnetic layers has a strong influence on the spin torque and spin dynamics of the central free layer. Employing macrospin simulations we make some predictions on the free layer spin dynamics in spin valves composed of various magnetic layers. We also present a formula for critical current in non-collinear magnetic configurations, which shows that the magnitude of critical current can be several times smaller than that in typical single spin valves.

Gauge theories in three dimensions
Creators: name: Waites, Anthony Brian
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Field theories in 2+ 1 space-time dimensions are of interest both intrinsically, due to their novel properties such as actions which are topologically non-trivial, and also due to their ability to explain of phenomena such as the fractional quantum Hall effect and certain behaviour of high Tc superconductors, and for their use in conformal field theory in 2D. This thesis begins by considering scalar and spinor QED in 2+ 1 dimensions, performing perturbation theory to study its behaviour (without allowing the presence or dynamical generation of a parity-violating photon mass). It is found, as first noted by Jackiw and Templeton, that an IR instability prohibits such a perturbative study. The gauge technique is adopted as a non-perturbative alternative, and the photon is allowed to be \dressed\" in a cloud of fermion loops yielding results which encompass the perturbation results in the UV region whilst remaining finite at IR momenta. Chern-Simons theory is then considered where the photon is allowed to acquire a parity-violating mass. In order to use dimensional regularization to handle the. apparently UV divergent integrals which appear a new formulation of the theory is proposed allowing the action to be written in arbitrary D dimensions so that the integrals can be safely evaluated. It is also found that the IR problems which plague the conventional theory are no longer present as the photon propagator behaviour has been \"softened\" by the photon mass allowing perturbation results to be obtained. Finally the idea of mass generation within these theories is considered in more detail where we see that the presence of a fermion mass will cause a photon mass to be dynamically generated and vice versa. These ideas are then generalized for arbitrary odd dimensional parity-violating theories."
anthropological framework for the study of gambling
Creators: name: Stuart, Ronald Courtney
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The systematic study of gambling has not been undertaken by many anthropologists. Yet, there exist data within the ethnographic literature of native North America to warrant serious comparison of gambling practices. This thesis attempts to formulate an anthropological framework, for the study of gambling. The Implications of an anthropological framework are examined by isolating the variables to be considered. Generally they fall into two broad fields, symbols or symbolic complexes and politico-economic institutions or power relations. The perspective of anthropology concerns both these fields and the relationship between them. This perspective is termed holistic and it is proposed to study gambling holistically. A definition of gambling is enunciated. The properties of gambling as an institution are discussed and variables are isolated, including the distinction deep play/shallow play. The possibility of treating gambling as a cultural text to be interpreted is suggested. Five cases of hand game gambling in North America are examined in terms of the framework. Certain common features are demonstrated and the consequences of studying gambling are considered. Conclusions are presented in order to summarize the analysis of five cases and to assess the applicability of the framework

description: Under the quaternion group, $Q_8$, spin helicity emerges as a crucial element of the reality of spin and is complementary to its polarization. We show that the correlation in EPR coincidence experiments is conserved upon separation from a singlet state and distributed between its polarization and coherence. Including helicity accounts for the violation of Bell's Inequalities without non-locality, and disproves Bell's Theorem by a counterexample.

Two simple models are considered for membrane flows and ionic currents. First we define an approximate solution and we verify its convergence to the corresponding weak solution of the continuum problem, obtaining in this way an alternative demonstration that the continuum problem is well-posed. Next we introduce the multiresolution technique and derive an optimal noise reduction threshold. The efficiency and precision of our method is seen in the reduction of machine time, memory usage, and errors in comparison to other methods. ----- En este trabajo se presenta un metodo de volumenes finitos enriquecido con un esquema de multiresolucion completamente adaptativo para obtener adaptatividad espacial, y un esquema Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg con paso temporal de variacion local para obtener adaptatividad temporal, para resolver numericamente las conocidas ecuaciones "bidominio" que modelan la actividad electrica del tejido en el miocardio. Se consideran dos modelos simples para las corrientes de membrana y corrientes ionicas. En primer lugar definimos una solucion aproximada y nos referimos a su convergencia a la correspondiente solucion debil del problema continuo, obteniendo de este modo una demostracion alternativa de que el problema continuo es bien puesto. Luego de introducir la tecnica de multiresolucion, se deriva un umbral optimo para descartar la informacion no significativa, y tanto la eficiencia como la precision de nuestro metodo es vista en terminos de la aceleracion de tiempo de maquina, compresion de memoria computacional y errores en diferentes normas.

description: An intensive spectroscopic study was performed for three representative solar twins (HIP 56948, HIP 79672, and HIP 100963) as well as for the Sun (Moon; reference standard), with an intention of (1) quantitatively discussing the relative-to-Sun similarities based on the precisely established differential parameters and (2) investigating the reason causing the Li abundance differences despite their similarities. It was concluded that HIP 56948 most resembles the Sun in every respect including the Li abundance (though not perfectly similar) among the three and deserves the name of "closest-ever solar twin", while HIP 79672 and HIP 100963 have somewhat higher effective temperature and appreciably higher surface Li composition. While there is an indication of Li being rotation-dependent because the projected rotation in HIP 56948 (and the Sun) is slightly lower than the other two, the rotational difference alone does not seem to be so large as to efficiently produce the marked change in Li. Rather, this may be more likely to be attributed (at least partly) to the slight difference in T_eff via some T_eff-sensitive Li-controlling mechanism. Since the abundance of beryllium was found to be essentially solar for all stars irrespective of Li, any physical process causing the Li diversity should work only on Li without affecting Be.

description: Microarrays have been developed that tile the entire nonrepetitive genomes of many different organisms, allowing for the unbiased mapping of active transcription regions or protein binding sites across the entire genome. These tiling array experiments produce massive correlated data sets that have many experimental artifacts, presenting many challenges to researchers that require innovative analysis methods and efficient computational algorithms. This paper presents a doubly stochastic latent variable analysis method for transcript discovery and protein binding region localization using tiling array data. This model is unique in that it considers actual genomic distance between probes. Additionally, the model is designed to be robust to cross-hybridized and nonresponsive probes, which can often lead to false-positive results in microarray experiments. We apply our model to a transcript finding data set to illustrate the consistency of our method. Additionally, we apply our method to a spike-in experiment that can be used as a benchmark data set for researchers interested in developing and comparing future tiling array methods. The results indicate that our method is very powerful, accurate and can be used on a single sample and without control experiments, thus defraying some of the overhead cost of conducting experiments on tiling arrays.

description: This resource is a single blog post created as part of the Day of Archaeology initiative. The Day of Archaeology project aimed to provide a window into the daily lives of archaeologists from all over the world. The project asked people working, studying or volunteering in the archaeological world to participate in a 'Day of Archaeology' each year by recording their day and sharing it through text, images or video on the Day of Archaeology blog.
The project asked anyone with a personal, professional or voluntary interest in archaeology to get involved, and help highlight the reasons why archaeology is vital to protect the past and inform our futures. The resulting Day of Archaeology project archive demonstrates the wide variety of work the archaeological profession undertakes day-to-day across the globe, and helps to raise public awareness of the relevance and importance of archaeology to the modern world.
The first ever Day of Archaeology was held in 2011 and, since then, the project had thousands of archaeologists take part in the event, from those working in the field through to specialists working in laboratories and behind computers. The last Day of Archaeology was on Friday 28th July 2017.

description: We study {2Q+1}-strings connecting two static charges Q in (2+1)-d SU(2) Yang-Mills theory. While the fundamental {2}-string between two charges Q = 1/2 is unbreakable, the adjoint {3}-string connecting two charges Q = 1 can break. When a {4}-string is stretched beyond a critical length, it decays into a {2}-string by gluon pair creation. When a {5}-string is stretched, it first decays into a {3}-string, which eventually breaks completely. The energy of the screened charges at the ends of a string is well described by a phenomenological constituent gluon model.

description: In the context of $f(R)$ gravity theories, the issue of finding static and spherically symmetric black hole solutions is addressed. Two approaches to study the existence of such solutions are considered: first, constant curvature solutions, and second, the general case (without imposing constant curvature) is also studied. Performing a perturbative expansion around the Einstein-Hilbert action, it is found that only solutions of the Schwarzschild-(Anti-) de Sitter type are present (up to second order in perturbations) and the explicit expressions for these solutions are provided in terms of the $f(R)$ function. Finally we consider the thermodynamics of black holes in Anti-de Sitter space-time and study their local and global stability.
