description: We employ newly computed grids of spectra reprocessed by dust for estimating the total dust production rate (DPR) of carbon stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). For the first time, the grids of spectra are computed as a function of the main stellar parameters, i.e. mass-loss rate, luminosity, effective temperature, current stellar mass and element abundances at the photosphere, following a consistent, physically grounded scheme of dust growth coupled with stationary wind outflow. The model accounts for the dust growth of various dust species formed in the circumstellar envelopes of carbon stars, such as carbon dust, silicon carbide and metallic iron. In particular, we employ some selected combinations of optical constants and grain sizes for carbon dust which have been shown to reproduce simultaneously the most relevant color-color diagrams in the SMC. By employing our grids of models, we fit the spectral energy distributions of $\approx$3100 carbon stars in the SMC, consistently deriving some important dust and stellar properties, i.e. luminosities, mass-loss rates, gas-to-dust ratios, expansion velocities and dust chemistry. We discuss these properties and we compare some of them with observations in the Galaxy and LMC. We compute the DPR of carbon stars in the SMC, finding that the estimates provided by our method can be significantly different, between a factor $\approx2-5$, than the ones available in the literature. Our grids of models, including the spectra and other relevant dust and stellar quantities, are publicly available at http://starkey.astro.unipd.it/web/guest/dustymodels

description: We go on with the definition of the theory of the non--Abelian two--tensor fields and find the gauge transformation rules and curvature tensor for them. To define the theory we use the surface {\it exponent} proposed in hep--th/0503234. We derive the differential equation for the {\it exponent} and make an attempt to give a matrix model formulation for it. We discuss application of our constructions to the Yang--Baxter equation for integrable models and to the String Field Theory.

description: The rigorous finite-temperature QED formalism of the polarization tensor is used to study the combined effect of nonzero mass gap $m$ and chemical potential $μ$ on the Casimir force and its thermal correction in the experimentally relevant configuration of a Au sphere interacting with a real graphene sheet or with graphene-coated dielectric substrates made of different materials. It is shown that for both a free-standing graphene sheet and for graphene-coated substrates the magnitude of the Casimir force decreases as $m$ is increased, while it increases as $μ$ is increased, indicating that these parameters act in opposite directions. According to our results, the impact of $m$ and/or $μ$ on the Casimir force for graphene-coated plates is much smaller than for a free-standing graphene sheet. Furthermore, computations show that the Casimir force is much stronger for graphene-coated substrates than for a free-standing graphene sample, but the thermal correction and its fractional weight in the total force are smaller in the former case. These results are applied to a differential setup that was recently proposed to observe the giant thermal effect in the Casimir force for graphene. We show that this experiment remains feasible even after taking into account the influence of the nonzero mass-gap and chemical potential of real graphene samples. Possible further applications of the obtained results are discussed.

description: This paper discusses the problem of refining a constrained Delaunay tetrahedralization (CDT) for adaptive numerical simulation. A simple and efficient algorithm which makes use of the classical Delaunay refinement scheme is proposed. It generates an isotropic tetrahedral mesh corresponding to a sizing function which can be either user-specified or automatically derived from the input CDT. The quality of the produced meshes is guaranteed, i.e., most output tetrahedra have their circumradius-to-shortest-edge ratios bounded except those in the neighborhood of small input angles. Good mesh conformity can be obtained for smoothly changing sizing information. The algorithm has been implemented. Various examples are provided to illustrate its theoretical aspects as well as practical performance.

description: This paper investigates varying the decoder weight of the language model (LM) when translating different parts of a sentence. We determine the condition under which the LM weight should be adapted. We find that a better translation can be achieved by varying the LM weight when decoding the most problematic spot in a sentence, which we refer to as a difficult segment. Two adaptation strategies are proposed and compared through experiments. We find that adapting a different LM weight for every difficult segment resulted in the largest improvement in translation quality

description: Physical properties of DyB$_4$ have been studied by magnetization, specific heat, and ultrasonic measurements. The magnetic entropy change and the ultrasonic properties in the intermediate phase II indicate that the degeneracy of internal degrees of freedom is not fully lifted in spite of the formation of magnetic order. The ultrasonic attenuation and the huge softening of $C_{44}$ in phase II suggests existence of electric-quadrupolar (orbital) fluctuations of the 4$f$-electron. These unusual properties originate from the geometrical quadrupolar frustration.

description: We make a mathematical analysis of an age structured HIV infection model with both virus-to-cell and cell-to-cell transmissions to understand the dynamical behavior of HIV infection in vivo. In the model, we consider the proliferation of uninfected CD4+ T cells by a logistic function and the infected CD4+ T cells are assumed to have an infection-age structure. Our main results concern the Hopf bifurcation of the model by using the theory of integrated semigroup and the Hopf bifurcation theory for semilinear equations with nondense domain. Bifurcation analysis indicates that there exist some parameter values such that this HIV infection model has a non-trivial periodic solution which bifurcates from the positive equilibrium. The numerical simulations are also carried out.

description: We study the stability of fuzzy S^2 x S^2 x S^2 backgrounds in three different IIB type matrix models with respect to the change of the spins of each S^2 at the two loop level. We find that S^2 x S^2 x S^2 background is metastable and the effective action favors a single large S^2 in comparison to the remaining S^2 x S^2 in the models with Myers term. On the other hand, we find that a large S^2 x S^2 in comparison to the remaining S^2 is favored in IIB matrix model itself. We further study the stability of fuzzy S^2 x S^2 background in detail in IIB matrix model with respect to the scale factors of each S^2 as well. In this case, we find unstable directions which lower the effective action away from the most symmetric fuzzy S^2 x S^2 background.

description: We investigate the properties of the QCD string in the Euclidean SU(N) pure gauge theory when the space-time dimensions transverse to it are periodic. From the point of view of an effective string theory, the string tension $σ$ and the low-energy constants $c_k$ of the theory are arbitrary functions of the sizes of the transverse dimensions L_p. Since the gauge theory is linearly confining in D=2, 3 and 4 dimensions, we propose an effective string action for the flux-tube energy levels at any choice of $L_p$, given $σ(L_p)$ and $c_k(L_p)$. The Luscher term only depends on the number of massless bosonic degrees of freedom and the effective theory can account for its evolution as a function of $L_p$. As the size of one transverse dimension is varied, we predict a Kosterlitz-Thouless transition of the worldsheet field theory at $σ(L_p)L_p^2 \simeq 1/8π$ driven by vortices, after which the periodic component of the worldsheet displacement vector develops a mass gap and the effective central charge drops by one unit. The universal properties of the transition are emphasised.

description: The production of soy is an important driver for the deforestation of primary forests, especially in Brazil. The European Union, and in particular Germany, is a relevant importer of soy and thereby indirectly contributes to the ongoing deforestation. With the Amsterdam Declaration in 2015, the German government together with other European countries declared their willingness to support the private sector’s goal to eliminate deforestation from agricultural supply chains by 2020. Usually companies use certification schemes to ensure deforestation-free sourcing and in general the compliance with social or ecological requirements. Our analysis of those soy certification schemes that are compliant with the Soy Sourcing Guidelines of the European Feed Manufacturers' Federation has shown that requirements between the schemes are quite different. The evaluation of standards related to the conservation of natural ecosystems, good agricultural practice, social criteria, auditing and traceability systems, identified ISCC PLUS and ISCC EU as the schemes with the highest overall scores. Donau Soja/Europe Soya, ProTerra, BFA SS, CRS-CEFETRA and RTRS have high requirements in place, as well. These certification schemes are in line with the political goals of the Amsterdam Declaration, but also with the voluntary commitments of relevant private sector organizations and business networks, such as the Consumer Goods Forum.

description: We describe a language independent word burst feature based on the structure of conversational speech that can be used to improve spoken term detection (STD) performance. Word burst refers to a phenomenon in conversational speech in which particular content words tend to occur in close proximity of each other as a byproduct of the topic under discussion. To take advantage of bursts, we describe a rescoring procedure that can be applied to lattice and confusion network outputs to improve STD performance. This approach is particularly effective when acoustic models are built with limited training data (and ASR performance is relatively poor). We find that word bursts appear in the four languages we examined and that STD performance can be improved for three of them; the remaining language is agglutinative.

description: We implement a procedure to simulate the drainage and imbibition in random, two-dimensional, square networks. We compute the resistivity index, the relative permeability, and the characteristic lengths of a correlated network at various saturation states, under the assumption that the surface conductivity can be neglected. These parameters exhibit a hysteretic behaviour. Then, we calculate the Spectral Induced Polarization (SIP) response of the medium, under the assumption that the electrical impedance of each tube follows a local Warburg conductivity model, with identical DC conductivity and chargeability for all the tubes. We evidence that the shape of the SIP spectra depends on the saturation state. The analysis of the evolution of the macroscopic Cole-Cole parameters of the spectra in function of the saturation also behaves hysteretically, except for the Cole-Cole exponent. We also observe a power-law relationship between the macroscopic DC conductivity and time constant and the relative permeability. We also show that the frequency peak of the phase spectra is directly related to the characteristic length and to the relative permeability, underlining the potential interest of SIP measurements for the estimation of the permeability of unsaturated media.

Could the Unusual Optical Afterglow of GRB 000301c Arise from a Non-relativistic Shock with Energy Injection?
Creators: name: Dai, Z. G.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Recent observations on the GRB 000301c afterglow show that three breaks appear in the R-band light curve, and in particular the decay slope at late times is as steep as -3.0. This unusual afterglow is clearly inconsistent with the standard afterglow shock model. Here we propose a non-standard model for the unusual R-band afterglow of GRB 000301c. In this model, an ultra-relativistic shock in a dense medium ("dirty environment")rapidly evolved to the non-relativistic phase in initial 1 day. During such a phase, the shock happened to be caught up with by two energetic shells ejected from the central engine at two different times, and the shock was refreshed, leading to two flattenings of the light curve. After each interaction between the shock and shell, the afterglow decayed as $\propto t^{-3.0}$ if the electron distribution index of the shocked medium, $p\approx 3.4$, derived from the optical spectrum. Therefore, this model can provide an excellent explanation for the flattening and steepening features of the GRB 000301c optical afterglow light curve. We further point out that the energy injection shells ejected from the central engine at later times may be material shells (e.g., in the massive star progenitor models related to black holes) or radiation shells (e.g., in the millisecond pulsar progenitor models).

Instead, these algorithms stop according to a stopping rule defined as SST, for which one can obtain provable properties: *** results are perfect samples from uniform distribution, *** immunity to timing attacks (no information about the resulting permutation leaks through the information about the number of steps SST algorithm *) We show how one can leverage properties of SST-based algorithms to construct an implementation (of a symmetric encryption scheme) which is immune to the timing-attack by reusing implementations which are not secure against timing-attacks. In symmetric key cryptography researchers mainly focus on constant time (re)implementations. Our approach goes in a different direction and explores ideas of input masking. *) Analysis of idealized (mathematical) models of existing cryptographic schemes -- i.e., we improve a result by Mironov ((Not So) Random Shuffles of RC4; Advances in Cryptology -- CRYPTO 2002)

Abstract

The exchange of carbon dioxide between atmosphere and vegetation is currently a poorly constrained part of the global carbon budget. To model the global biospheric CO2 exchange, data-based (Machine Learning) models have been developed using training data from eddy-covariance measurement sites. While these models are widely used and can successfully predict carbon fluxes on short timescales, they can severely overestimate the annual carbon uptake by many ecosystems. 

In the EXCITED project, we aim to better constrain the CO2 exchange by (tropical) ecosystems on longer timescales using estimates from inverse models (e.g., CarbonTracker) as additional input data. Aside from the produced datasets, we will also make the trained machine learning models available, as well as the full workflow. The workflow consists of the (Python) code, Jupyter notebooks, and user documentation. Having the workflow openly available makes it easier for others to adapt it to their needs or to extend it.

description: Depth sensing devices have created various new applications in scientific and commercial research with the advent of Microsoft Kinect and PMD (Photon Mixing Device) cameras. Most of these applications require the depth cameras to be pre-calibrated. However, traditional calibration methods using a checkerboard do not work very well for depth cameras due to the low image resolution. In this paper, we propose a depth calibration scheme which excels in estimating camera calibration parameters when only a handful of corners and calibration images are available. We exploit the noise properties of PMD devices to denoise depth measurements and perform camera calibration using the denoised depth as an additional set of measurements. Our synthetic and real experiments show that our depth denoising and depth based calibration scheme provides significantly better results than traditional calibration methods.

description: We introduce a discriminatively trained, globally normalized, log-linear variant of the lexical translation models proposed by Brown et al. (1993). In our model, arbitrary, nonindependent features may be freely incorporated, thereby overcoming the inherent limitation of generative models, which require that features be sensitive to the conditional independencies of the generative process. However, unlike previous work on discriminative modeling of word alignment (which also permits the use of arbitrary features), the parameters in our models are learned from unannotated parallel sentences, rather than from supervised word alignments. Using a variety of intrinsic and extrinsic measures, including translation performance, we show our model yields better alignments than generative baselines in a number of language pairs.

description: Parallax measurements allow distances to celestial objects to be determined. Coupled with measurement of their position on the celestial sphere, it gives a full three-dimensional picture of the location of the objects relative to the observer. The distortion of the parallax value of a remote source affected by a weak microlensing is considered. This means that the weak microlensing leads to distortion of the distance scale. It is shown that the distortions to appear may change strongly the parallax values in case they amount to several microseconds of arc. In particular, at this accuracy many measured values of the parallaxes must be negative.

description: A general abstract approximation scheme for rate-independent processes in the energetic formulation is proposed and its convergence is proved under various rather mild data qualifications. The abstract theory is illustrated on several examples: plasticity with isotropic hardening, damage, debonding, magnetostriction, and two models of martensitic transformation in shape-memory alloys.
The demographics of physics education research

Subjects: subject: Physics Education (physics.ed-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Is physics education research based on a representative sample of students? To answer this question we skimmed physics education research papers from three journals for the years 1970 - 2015 looking for the number of research subjects, the course the subjects were enrolled in, and the institution where the research was conducted. We then compared the demographics of our research population to those of all students taking physics in the United States. Our results suggest that research subjects as a whole are better prepared mathematically and are less diverse than the overall physics student population.

description: Aphis persicariae Hartig, 1841 nomen dubium
 Aphis persicariae Hartig, 1841: 370 (nomen dubium — Favret et al., 2017: 568, as “ Hyalopterus persicariae ”). SYNTYPES: 7 (no field numbers [8.01-8.03]).
 Hyalopterus amygdali (Blanchard, 1840) (senior synonym—Börner, 1952: 68).
 Specimens. Seven pointed specimens on three pins along with leaf tissue, all lacking specimen labels. Three specimens, one alate and two apterae, mounted to the surface of a single point on a pin. Two specimens, one alate and one aptera, mounted to the surface of a single point on a pin. Two alatae mounted to the surface of a single point on a pin. Leaf tissue on each of the three pins contain white aphid skin casts.
 Remarks. Börner (1952) treated Aphis persicariae Hartig, 1841 as a junior synonym of Hyalopterus amygdali (Blanchard, 1840), but it has been recognized as a nomen dubium since Favret et al. (2017) completed a synonymic revision of the genus Hyalopterus Koch, 1854. Further study is necessary to clarify to which Hyalopterus species the name corresponds.

description: The magnon thermal conductivity $κ_{\mathrm{mag}}$ of the spin ladders in $\rm Sr_{14}Cu_{24-x}Zn_xO_{41}$ has been investigated at low doping levels $x=0$, 0.125, 0.25, 0.5 and 0.75. The Zn-impurities generate nonmagnetic defects which define an upper limit for $l_{\mathrm{mag}}$ and therefore allow a clear-cut relation between $l_{\mathrm{mag}}$ and $κ_{\mathrm{mag}}$ to be established independently of any model. Over a large temperature range we observe a progressive suppression of $κ_{\mathrm{mag}}$ with increasing Zn-content and find in particular that with respect to pure $\rm Sr_{14}Cu_{24}O_{41}$ $κ_{\mathrm{mag}}$ is strongly suppressed even in the case of tiny impurity densities where $l_{\mathrm{mag}}\lesssim 374$~Å. This shows unambiguously that large $l_{\mathrm{mag}}\approx 3000$~Å which have been reported for $\rm Sr_{14}Cu_{24}O_{41}$ and $\rm La_{5}Ca_9Cu_{24}O_{41}$ on basis of a kinetic model are in the correct order of magnitude.

description: We describe a method for prediction of linguistic structure in a language for which only unlabeled data is available, using annotated data from a set of one or more helper languages. Our approach is based on a model that locally mixes between supervised models from the helper languages. Parallel data is not used, allowing the technique to be applied even in domains where human-translated texts are unavailable. We obtain state-of-theart performance for two tasks of structure prediction: unsupervised part-of-speech tagging and unsupervised dependency parsing.
On asymptotic normality of certain linear rank statistics

Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Statistics Theory (math.ST)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We consider asymptotic normality of linear rank statistics under various randomization rules met in clinical trials and designed for patients' allocation into treatment and placebo arms. Exposition relies on some general limit theorem due to McLeish (1974) which appears to be well suited for the problem considered and may be employed for other similar rules undis- cussed in the paper. Examples of applications include well known results as well as several new ones.

description: The study examined the effect of internal environmental factors on growth of pharmaceutical companies in South East Nigeria. Specifically, the study examined the effect of financial capability on profit growth of pharmaceutical companies in South East Nigeria; the effect of marketing capability on sales growth of pharmaceutical companies in South East Nigeria; the effect of managerial capability on employment growth of pharmaceutical companies in South East Nigeria. The study employed survey research design. The population of the study was all 270 management and senior staff of 10 pharmaceutical companies in Enugu and Anambra States. Since the population was not large, the whole population completed a structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed with Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient (rs) with the aid of statistical package for social sciences (SPSS 20.0). The result showed that financial capability has a positive significant correlation with profit growth of pharmaceutical companies in South East Nigeria (correlation coefficient of .770); marketing capability has a positive significant correlation with sales growth of pharmaceutical companies in South East Nigeria (correlation coefficient of .828), managerial capability has a positive significant relationship with employment growth of pharmaceutical companies in South East Nigeria (correlation coefficient of .768). The study concluded that internal environmental factors have effect on growth of pharmaceutical companies in South East Nigeria. It was recommended that pharmaceutical companies in South East Nigeria should source for finance in order to implement strong financial strategies
