description: This paper examines how dietary knowledge and exercise knowledge are interacted each other in leading to healthier diet after hypertension diagnosis. It uses a sharp regression discontinuity design that exploits the exogenous cut-point of systolic blood pressure in the hypertension diagnosis. Using data from China, the results demonstrate that the influence of hypertension diagnosis on improving diet is significant only among people with good dietary knowledge; and within the people with good dietary knowledge, the influence is much larger among the people who do not believe the importance of exercise for health. The findings may imply that an equal emphasis on both diet and exercise might result in reducing the effect of dietary education on improving diet.

description: We apply two non-parametric methods to test further the hypothesis that log-periodicity characterizes the detrended price trajectory of large financial indices prior to financial crashes or strong corrections. The analysis using the so-called (H,q)-derivative is applied to seven time series ending with the October 1987 crash, the October 1997 correction and the April 2000 crash of the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), the Standard & Poor 500 and Nasdaq indices. The Hilbert transform is applied to two detrended price time series in terms of the ln(t_c-t) variable, where t_c is the time of the crash. Taking all results together, we find strong evidence for a universal fundamental log-frequency $f = 1.02 \pm 0.05$ corresponding to the scaling ratio $λ= 2.67 \pm 0.12$. These values are in very good agreement with those obtained in past works with different parametric techniques.

description: A search for potential point sources of very high energy gamma rays has been carried out on the data taken simultaneously by the HEGRA AIROBICC and Scintillator arrays from August 1994 to March 2000. The list of sought sources includes supernova remnants, pulsars, AGNs and binary systems. The energy threshold is around 15 TeV. For the Crab Nebula, a modest excess of 2.5 standard deviations above the cosmic ray background has been observed. Flux upper limits (at 90% c.l.) of around 1.3 times the flux of the Crab Nebula are obtained, on average, for the candidate sources. A different search procedure has been used for an all-sky search which yields absolute flux upper limits between 4 and 9 crabs depending on declination, in the band from 0 to 60 degrees.

description: We present a detailed analysis of the dynamical properties of a simulated disk galaxy assembled hierarchically in the Lambda CDM cosmogony. At z=0, two distinct dynamical components are identified on the basis of the orbital parameters of stars in the galaxy: a slowly rotating, centrally concentrated spheroid and a disk-like component largely supported by rotation. These components are also recognized in the surface brightness profile of the galaxy, which can be very well approximated by the superposition of an R^{1/4} spheroid and an exponential disk. However, neither does the dynamically-identified spheroid follow de Vaucouleurs' law nor is the disk purely exponential, a resultwhich calls for caution when estimating the importance of the disk from traditional photometric decomposition techniques. The disk may be further decomposed into a thin, dynamically cold component with stars on nearly circularorbits and a hotter, thicker component with orbital parameters transitional between the thin disk and the spheroid. The spheroid is old, and has essentiallyno stars younger than the time elapsed since the last major accretion event ~8 Gyr ago. The majority of thin disk stars, form after the merging activity is over, although a significant fraction ~15% of thin-disk stars are old enough to predate the last major merger event. This unexpected population of old disk stars consists mainly of the tidal debris of satellites whose orbital plane was coincident with the disk and whose orbits were circularized by dynamical friction prior to full disruption. Our results highlight the role of satellite accretion events in shaping the disk and the spheroidal component and reveal some of the clues to the assembly process of a galaxy preserved in the detailed dynamics of old stellar populations.

description: When, in addition to stability, position synchronization is also desired in bilateral teleoperation, Time Domain Passivity Approach (TDPA) alone might not be able to fulfill the desired objective. This is due to an undesired effect caused by admittance type passivity controllers, namely position drift. Previous works focused on developing TDPA-based drift compensation methods to solve this issue. It was shown that, in addition to reducing drift, one of the proposed methods was able to keep the force signals within their normal range, guaranteeing the safety of the task. However, no multi-DoF treatment of those approaches has been addressed. In that scope, this paper focuses on providing an extension of previous TDPA-based approaches to multi-DoF Cartesian-space teleoperation. An analysis of the convergence properties of the presented method is also provided. In addition, its applicability to multi-DoF devices is shown through hardware experiments and numerical simulation with round-trip time delays up to 700 ms.

As a corollary, we show that the cohomology of a finitely generated ${\bf VI}$-module in non-describing characteristic is eventually periodic in $n$. We apply this to obtain a new result on the cohomology of unipotent Specht modules.

description: Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is increasingly being promoted among scientists, policy makers and donors as an approach towards sustainably increasing agricultural productivity, building and increasing resilience of farming systems to climate change, and reduction of greenhouse gases. Successful implementation of CSA, however, depends on the ability to identify and quantify the trade-offs involved in its adoption. This study investigates the trade-offs involved in the adoption of mulching among smallholder farmers in Rakai district of Uganda. It specifically examines the effect of mulching on the expenditure shares of herbicides, pesticides, fertilizer, and labour. A translog cost function is estimated jointly with expenditure shares on these inputs using seemingly unrelated regression analysis. Results indicate a negative relationship between mulching and expenditure share on herbicides on one hand, and a positive relationship between mulching and expenditure share on pesticides, fertilizer, and labour on the other hand. The paper discusses the policy implications.

description: The presence of rocky exoplanets with a large refractory carbon inventory is predicted by chemical evolution models of protoplanetary disks of stars with photospheric C/O >0.65, and by models studying the radial transport of refractory carbon. High-pressure high-temperature laboratory experiments show that most of the carbon in these exoplanets differentiates into a graphite outer shell. Our aim is to evaluate the effects of a graphite outer shell on the thermal evolution of rocky exoplanets containing a metallic core and a silicate mantle. We implement a parameterized model of mantle convection to determine the thermal evolution of rocky exoplanets with graphite layer thicknesses up to 1000 km. We find that, due to the high thermal conductivity of graphite, conduction is the dominant heat transport mechanism in a graphite layer for the long-term evolution (>200 Myr). The conductive graphite shell essentially behaves like a stagnant lid with a fixed thickness. Models of Kepler-37b (Mercury-size) and a Mars-sized exoplanet show that a planet with a graphite lid cools faster than a planet with a silicate lid, and a planet without a stagnant lid cools the fastest. A graphite lid needs to be approximately ten times thicker than a corresponding silicate lid in order to produce similar thermal evolution.

description: Millisecond crystal relaxation has been used to explain anomalous decay in doped alkali halides. We attribute this slowness to Fermi-Pasta-Ulam solitons. Our model exhibits confinement of mechanical energy released by excitation. Extending the model to long times is justified by its relation to solitons, excitations previously proposed to occur in alkali halides. Soliton damping and observation are also discussed.

description: The purpose of this PhD was to assess the in vivo mechanics of the Achilles tendon (AT) during common locomotor movements. To achieve this I used a hybrid technique that combined motion capture and ultrasound (MoCapUs). The motion capture system was used to spatially calibrate the ultrasound image plane, enabling the projection of digitised points from the ultrasound points in three-dimensions in the lab coordinate system. The specific objectives of this research were to first establish the individual and total error of fundamental AT variables, such as its length, strain, and moment arm. [Continues.]

description: My PhD thesis explores the psychosocial characteristics and educational experiences of twice-exceptional individuals in Australia, who possess both giftedness and a disability. Using a socio-ecological and talent development framework, including models by Bronfenbrenner and Gagné, the research provides insight into the unique challenges and strengths of twice-exceptional individuals. Through studies with children, adolescents, parents, and adults, it aims to improve early identification and support, raise awareness of twice-exceptional experiences, and contribute empirical data to inform educators and psychologists. The ultimate goal is to enhance intervention strategies and foster environments that nurture their dual exceptionalities.

description: The spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry is examined by chiral effective theories, such as the linear sigma model and the Nambu Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model. Indicating that sufficiently large contribution of the UA(1) anomaly can break chiral symmetry spontaneously, we discuss such anomaly driven symmetry breaking and its implication. We derive a mass relation among the SU(3) flavor singlet mesons, eta0 and sigma0, in the linear sigma model to be satisfied for the anomaly driven symmetry breaking in the chiral limit, and find that it is also supported in the NJL model. With the explicit breaking of chiral symmetry, we find that the chiral effective models reproducing the observed physical quantities suggest that the sigma0 meson regarded as the quantum fluctuation of the chiral condensate should have a mass smaller than an order of 800 MeV when the anomaly driven symmetry breaking takes place.

Cumulants of conserved charges in GGE and cumulants of total transport in GHD: exact summation of matrix elements?

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: We obtain the cumulants of conserved charges in Generalized Gibbs Ensemble (GGE) by a direct summation of their finite-particle matrix elements. The Gaudin determinant that describes the norm of Bethe states is written as a sum over forests by virtue of the matrix-tree theorem. The aforementioned cumulants are then given by a sum over tree-diagrams whose Feynman rules involve simple Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz (TBA) quantities. The internal vertices of these diagrams have the interpretation of virtual particles that carry anomalous corrections to bare charges. Our derivation follows closely the spirit of recent works [1,2]. We also conjecture that the cumulants of total transport in Generalized Hydrodynamics (GHD) are given by the same diagrams up to minor modifications. These cumulants play a central role in large deviation theory and were obtained in [3] using linear fluctuating hydrodynamics at Euler scale. We match our conjecture with the result of [3] up to the fourth cumulant. This highly non-trivial matching provides a strong support for our conjecture.

We found a decrease of 55 +/- 10 meV in going from 60 K to just above the Curie temperature (125 K) of the sample. Above T_C the work function appears to be roughly constant. Our results are exactly opposite to the work function changes calculated from the double-exchange model by Furukawa, but are consistent with other measurements. The disagreement with double-exchange can be explained using a general thermodynamic relation valid for second order transitions and including the extra processes involved in the manganites besides double-exchange interaction.

The array consists of 25 vertical towers, arranged in a square, of 5 towers by 5 towers, each containing 10 layers of 4 crystals. The design of the detector is optimized for ultralow- background searches for neutrinoless double beta decay of ^{130}Te (33.8% abundance), cold dark matter, solar axions, and rare nuclear decays. A preliminary experiment involving 20 crystals of various sizes (MIBETA) has been completed, and a single CUORE tower is being constructed as a smaller scale experiment called CUORICINO. The expected performance and sensitivity, based on Monte Carlo simulations and extrapolations of present results, are reported.

We find power law scaling in the current-voltage curves for arrays containing no voids, while for void-filled arrays charge bottlenecks form and a single scaling is absent, in agreement with recent experiments. In the void-free case we also show that the scaling exponent depends on the effective dimensionality of the system. For increasing applied drives we find a transition from 2D disordered filamentary flow near threshold to a 1D smectic flow which can be identified experimentally using characteristics in the transport curves and conduction noise.

description: Loanwords are a key key feature of almost all languages, and the language of medieval Ireland is no exception. The earliest attested corpus of written Irish preserved in glosses and marginalia on Latin manuscripts of the eighth and ninth centuries provides abundant evidence for linguistic developments triggered by contact with Latin in particular. The moulding of the Roman alphabet into a suitable vehicle for writing Irish, as part of the Christianisation of Ireland in the fifth and sixth centuries, involved intensive cross-linguistic engagement by a learned elite.

We construct the SUSY -B extension of this system as well and comment on the similarities and differences between this system and an earlier construction of the supersymmetric Chaplygin gas. We also derive the N=1 supersymmetric extension of the elastic medium equations, which, however, do not appear to be integrable.

Mass Limits to Primordial Star Formation from Protostellar Feedback

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: How massive were the first stars? This question is of fundamental importance for galaxy formation and cosmic reionization. Here we consider how protostellar feedback can limit the mass of a forming star. For this we must understand the rate at which primordial protostars accrete, how they and their feedback output evolve, and how this feedback interacts with the infalling matter. We describe the accretion rate with an ``isentropic accretion'' model: the rate is initially very large (~0.03 M_sun/yr when m_* =1 M_sun) and declines as m_*^{-3/7}. Protostellar evolution is treated with a model that tracks the total energy of the star. A key difference compared to previous studies is allowance for rotation of the infalling envelope. This leads to photospheric conditions at the star and dramatic differences in the feedback. Two feedback mechanisms are considered: HII region breakout and radiation pressure from Lyman-alpha and FUV photons. Radiation pressure appears to be the dominant mechanism for suppressing infall, becoming dynamically important around 20 M_sun.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: There is a broad theoretical consensus on the idea that ordinary neutrinos have a Majorana mass, but we have no clear prediction about its value, and direct experimental measurements of this quantity are rather challenging. In this work, we argue that the current cosmological measurements allow us to obtain precise information on the effective Majorana mass, i.e. the electronic-type mass of ordinary neutrinos. We show that the numerical results that we obtain can be accurately reproduced, and hence tested, by a straightforward analytical procedure. We then discuss the stability of the assumptions at the basis of our analysis and the implications of our findings for neutrinoless double beta decay.

description: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) transmission in the hospital setting has been a frequent subject of investigation using bacterial genomes, but previous approaches have not yet fully utilised the extra deductive power provided when multiple pathogen samples are acquired from each host. Here, we used a large dataset of MRSA sequences from multiply-sampled patients to reconstruct colonisation of individuals in a high-transmission setting in a hospital in Thailand. We reconstructed transmission trees for MRSA. We also investigated transmission between anatomical sites on the same individual, finding that this either occurs repeatedly or involves a wide transmission bottleneck. We examined the between-subject bottleneck, finding considerable variation in the amount of diversity transmitted. Finally, we compared our approach to the simpler method of identifying transmission pairs using single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) counts. This suggested that the optimum threshold for identifying a pair is 39 SNPs, if sensitivities and specificities are equally weighted.

description: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects the elderly population. Currently, limited treatment options are available for AD, therefore, new adjuvants are required to treat this chronic illness. In this context, bioactive compounds derived from natural sources are promising pharmacological agents. One such compound is 3-O-acetyl-11-keto-β-Boswellic Acid (AKBA) from Boswellia serrata, which has been shown to have neuroprotective effects against okadaic acid-induced AD in a zebrafish model in the current study. AKBA has been shown to have beneficial effects in improving cognition and memory. Additionally, some key genetic markers and proteins have been shown to be modulated by AKBA, thus demonstrating neuroprotective effects.

description: Balanced mitochondrial fission and fusion play an important role in shaping and distributing mitochondria, as well as contributing to mitochondrial homeostasis and adaptation to stress. In particular, mitochondrial fission is required to facilitate degradation of damaged or dysfunctional units via mitophagy. Two Parkinson’s disease factors, PINK1 and Parkin, are considered key mediators of damage-induced mitophagy, and promoting mitochondrial fission is sufficient to suppress the pathological phenotypes in Drosophila Pink1/parkin mutants. We sought additional factors that impinge on mitochondrial dynamics and which may also suppress Pink1/parkin phenotypes. We found that the Drosophila phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase IIIβ homologue, Four wheel drive (Fwd), promotes mitochondrial fission downstream of the pro-fission factor Drp1. Previously described only as male sterile, we identified several new phenotypes in fwd mutants, including locomotor deficits and shortened lifespan, which are accompanied by mitochondrial dysfunction. Finally, we found that fwd overexpression can suppress locomotor deficits and mitochondrial disruption in Pink1/parkin mutants, consistent with its function in promoting mitochondrial fission. Together these results shed light on the complex mechanisms of mitochondrial fission and further underscore the potential of modulating mitochondrial fission/fusion dynamics in the context of neurodegeneration.

description: Recently, a family of models that couple multifluid systems to the full Maxwell equations draw a lot of attention in laboratory, space, and astrophysical plasma modeling. These models are more complete descriptions of the plasma than reduced models like magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) since they naturally retain non-ideal effects like electron inertia, Hall term, pressure anisotropy/nongyrotropy, etc. One obstacle to broader application of these model is that an explicit treatment of their source terms leads to the need to resolve rapid kinetic processes like plasma oscillation and electron cyclotron motion, even when they are not important. In this paper, we suggest two ways to address this issue. First, we derive the analytic forms solutions to the source update equations, which can be implemented as a practical, but less generic solver. We then develop a time-centered, locally implicit algorithm to update the source terms, allowing stepping over the fast kinetic time-scales. For a plasma with $S$ species, the locally implict algorithm involves inverting a local $3S+3$ matrix only, thus is very efficient. The performance can be further elevated by using the direct update formulas to skip null calculations. Benchmarks illustrated the exact energy-conservation of the locally implicit solver, as well as its efficiency and robustness for both small-scale, idealized problems and large-scale, complex systems. The locally implicit algorithm can be also easily extended to include other local sources, like collisions and ionization, which are difficult to solve analytically.

description: We show that large, slowly driven systems can evolve to a self-organized critical state where long range temporal correlations between bursts or avalanches produce low frequency $1/f^α$ noise. The avalanches can occur instantaneously in the external time scale of the slow drive, and their event statistics are described by power law distributions. A specific example of this behavior is provided by numerical simulations of a deterministic ``sandpile'' model.

description: Energy crop production has been proposed for land of poor quality to avoid competition with food production and negative indirect land use consequences. The objective of this study was to determine the land area requirements, biomass transportation distance, and expected cost consequences of restricting switchgrass biomass production, for use as biofuel feedstock, to marginal land relative to unrestricted land use. The USA soils capability classification system was used to differentiate between high quality land (Class I) and land of marginal quality (Class IV). Switchgrass biomass yield distributions were simulated for each of four land capability classes for counties in the Eastern Oklahoma case study region. For a 70 million gallons per year cellulosic ethanol biorefinery, restricting land use to capability Class IV (defined as marginal) increases the quantity of land required to support the biorefinery by 47%; increases biomass trucking distance by 218%; increases cost to delivery feedstock by 13%; and increases the expected cost to produce a gallon of ethanol by $0.19. In the absence of government restrictions, for-profit companies are not likely to limit energy crop production to land of marginal quality.

description: The much-discussed swampland conjectures suggest significant constraints on the properties of string theory landscape and on the nature of the multiverse that this landscape can support. The conjectures are especially constraining for models of inflation; in particular, they exclude the existence of de Sitter (dS) vacua. If the conjectures are false and dS vacua do exist, it still appears that their construction in string theory requires a fair amount of fine-tuning, so they may be vastly outnumbered by AdS vacua. Here we explore the multiverse structure suggested by these considerations. We consider two scenarios: (i) a landscape where dS vacua are rare and (ii) a landscape where dS vacua do not exist and the dS potential maxima and saddle points are not flat enough to allow for the usual hilltop inflation, even though slow-roll inflation is possible on the slopes of the potential. We argue that in both scenarios inflation is eternal and all parts of the landscape that can support inflation get represented in the multiverse. The spacetime structure of the multiverse in such models is nontrivial and is rather different from the standard picture.

title: Another Perspective on the Challenges Posed by the New Antisemitism. A short introduction to Ilan Gur-Ze’ev’s writings
Creators: name: Vinokur, Eli
Publisher: name: Katholische Hochschule Nordrhein-Westfalen, Köln

description: This paper will present in broad strokes the professional lifespan and philosophical doctrine of Israeli educational philosopher Ilan Gur-Ze’ev (1955-2012). Major attention will be devoted to his articulation of the concept of “new antisemitism,” which seeks to capture the uniqueness of the contemporary form of antisemitism. Compared to “older” forms of antisemitism, which situated the Jews in opposition to western civilization, as its ultimate “other,” contemporary progressive thinkers identify “Jewishness” and Jewish ideas such a “chosenness,” “elitism” and “uniqueness,” as the innate evil embedded deep within the “suppressing, white, colonial patriarchy” of the Judo-Christian civilization. Thus, the redemption of the soul of the new progressive thinker from the historical sins of western civilization, involves cleansing it from its “Jewishness.” It also involves an attack on the physical representation of everything that is wrong in western civilization – the Jewish state.

description: The ecosystem dynamics of benthic communities depend on the relative importance of organism reproductive traits, environmental factors, inter-specific interactions, and mortality processes. The fine-scale community ecology of sessile organisms can be investigated using spatial analyses because the position of the specimens on the substrate (their spatial positions) reflects the biological and ecological processes that they were subject to in-life. Consequently, spatial point process analyses (SPPA) and Bayesian network inference (BNI) can be used to reveal key insights into the ecological dynamics of these deep-sea communities. Here we use these analyses to investigate the ecology of deep-sea glass sponge dominated community “The Forest of the Weird” (2,442 m depth, Ridge Seamount, Johnston Atoll, Pacific Ocean). A 3D reconstruction was made of this community using photogrammetry of video stills taken from high-resolution ROV video. The community was dominated by two genera of Hexactinellids: Farreidae Aspidoscopulia sp. and Euplectellidae Advhena magnifica with octocorals Narella bowersi, Narella macrocalyx, and Rhodaniridogorgia also present in large proportions. SPPA of the dead vs. alive organisms revealed a random distribution of dead amongst the living, showing a non-density dependent cause of death for the majority of taxa. However, in the high-density ridge crest region there was non-random aggregation of dead specimens, revealing density-dependent mortality for Aspidoscopulia. SPPA showed that the glass sponges and octocorals were each most strongly influenced by different underlying processes, and reacted to the environmental conditions differently. The octocorals responded to higher density areas with increased intra-specific competition, whilst the glass-sponges seemed impervious to a doubling of specimen density. BNI found that mutual habitat associations between different taxa resulted in inter-specific competition at larger (2–4 m) spatial scales, with instances of competition at small-spatial scales (<0.75 m) in the higher-density ridge crest section. To our knowledge, this study is the first to analyze the mortality, population and community dynamics of a deep-sea sponge community using SPPA. Our results provide the first insight into the variety of ecological behaviors of these different glass sponges and octocorals, and show how these different organisms have developed diverse responses to the biological and environmental gradients within their habitat.
