Diffractive beauty photoproduction as a short distance probe of QCD pomeron

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

description: High-energy open beauty photoproduction probes the vacuum exchange at distances $\sim 1/m_b$ and detects significant corrections to the BFKL asymptotics coming from the subleading vacuum poles. We show that the interplay of leading and subleading vacuum exchanges gives rise to the cross section $σ^{b\bar b}(W)$ growing much faster than it is prescribed by the exchange of the leading pomeron trajectory with intercept $α_{\Pom}(0)-1=Δ_{\Pom}=0.4$. Our calculations within the color dipole BFKL model are in agreement with the recent determination of $σ^{b\bar b}(W)$ by the H1 collaboration. The comparative analysis of diffractive photoproduction of beauty, charm and light quarks exhibits the hierarchy of pre-asymptotic pomeron intercepts which follows the hierarchy of corresponding hardness scales. We comment on the phenomenon of decoupling of soft and subleading BFKL singularities at the scale of elastic $Υ(1S)$-photoproduction which results in precocious color dipole BFKL asymptotics of the process $γp \to Υp$.

description: Change detection is a quite challenging task due to the imbalance between unchanged and changed class. In addition, the traditional difference map generated by log-ratio is subject to the speckle, which will reduce the accuracy. In this letter, an imbalanced learning-based change detection is proposed based on PCA network (PCA-Net), where a supervised PCA-Net is designed to obtain the robust features directly from given multitemporal SAR images instead of a difference map. Furthermore, to tackle with the imbalance between changed and unchanged classes, we propose a morphologically supervised learning method, where the knowledge in the pixels near the boundary between two classes are exploited to guide network training. Finally, our proposed PCA-Net can be trained by the datasets with available reference maps and applied to a new dataset, which is quite practical in change detection projects. Our proposed method is verified on five sets of multiple temporal SAR images. It is demonstrated from the experiment results that with the knowledge in training samples from the boundary, the learned features benefit for change detection and make the proposed method outperforms than supervised methods trained by randomly drawing samples.

Migration decision making : the case of East Java

description: This thesis deals with migration decision making in the province of East Java, Indonesia. The bulk of migration research in Indonesia can be classified into three approaches: behavioural, economic and structural. A review showed that each approach tends to focus on a limited aspects of the phenomenon resulting in partial knowledge and failure to adequately comprehend the migration decision as a whole. In this study migration decision making has been viewed from an integrated approach. The primary source of data concerned both migrants and non-migrants who were selected as respondents in a 1981 survey. The secondary source of data was information on the demographic, social and economic changes that formed the context of population movements in the study area. The various structural changes in East Java during the last 30 years, in spite of creating a dichotomy between the rural 'push' and the urban 'puli' at the societal level, also affected the individual, either directly or indirectly by changing the costs and benefits of migration. The young, educated and never married population would be more likely to migrate than their counterparts because they were able to adapt more easily to the new situations that resulted from structural changes in the society. In addition, the presence of relatives and friends in urban destinations played an important role in the migration decision. Thus, the nature of migration decision making in East Java was basically a process of interaction between the individual, economy and society.

 NOTE: Even though male and female are from the same sample, the match is uncertain because males of P. boquete were also taken at the same locality and time.
TYPE: Male holotype from a Berlese sample of forest floor litter taken at an elevation of 2377 m at Finca Lérida near Boquete, Chiriquí, Panama (Mar. 17, 1959, H. Dybas), deposited in FMNH (PBI_OON 49187).
ETYMOLOGY: The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the type locality.
 DIAGNOSIS: Males resemble those of P. boquete, P. panto, and P. vuena in having an embolus with a median protrusion, and a narrowed, distinctly elongated embolus tip (figs. 219, 223). They differ in having a distally truncated conductor, which is shorter than the embolus (rather than with short narrow projections in P. panto, pointed and longer than embolus in P. boquete and P. vuena). In addition, they differ from P. panto in having a mound-shaped median protrusion at the embolus (rather than a ridge-shaped one). Females differ in having a quite broad, enlarged anterior genitalic process (figs. 227, 228, 241), and a subspherical, moderately sclerotized posterior genitalic process with a distinct short duct (figs. 227, 228, 243).
MALE (PBI_OON 49187, figs. 214–223): Total length 1.51. Dorsal scutum very weakly sclerotized. Leg spination: tibiae: I v4-2-2; II v4-2-1p; IV v0-0-2; metatarsi: I v2-2-2; II p1-0-0, v2-2-2; IV p0-1-0. Sperm pore oval. Cymbial cone not detected. Tarsal organ on palpal cymbium with distal receptor appearing bifid. Embolus broad, tube shaped, longitudinally folded, with ventral slit and distoprolateral opening, midway with dorsal hump, tip narrowed, elongated, opening distoretrolaterally rebordered, platelike; conductor originates at embolus base, narrow, bandlike, elongated, distally truncated, almost as long as embolus.
FEMALE (PBI_OON 49187, figs. 224–258): Total length 1.71. Leg spination: tibiae: I p1-1-0, v4-2-2, r1-0-0; II p0-1-0, v4-2-2; IV p0-1-0, v1-0-2, r0-1-0; metatarsi: I, II p1-0-0, v2-2-2; IV p0-1-0. Large genital plate W-shaped, median protruding part wider than long; anterior genitalic process narrowly stalked, apex enlarged; posterior genitalic process subspherical with short duct, weakly sclerotized, distally with spoon-shaped glands (fig. 243).

description: We discuss properties of QCD with variable and large $N_c$, taking into account electroweak interactions; i.e., we analyze the generalization of the standard model based on the gauge group $G={\rm SU}(N_c) \times {\rm SU(2)}_L \times {\rm U(1)}_Y$. General classes of solutions to anomaly constraints are given, and it is shown that these allow a $T_3 = \pm 1/2$ quark or $T_3=-1/2$ lepton rather than the neutrino as an electrically neutral fermion. The issue of grand unification is addressed, and it is shown that $G$ cannot be embedded in the usual way in a simple SO($N$) or SU($N$) gauge group unless $N_c=3$. The ratio of strengths of QCD and electroweak interactions is discussed.

description: This essay analyses and updates Negri’s interpretation – undertaken in one of his first monographs – of René Descartes’ thought. It contains an unprecedented hypothesis of political realism (revealed in its limits); a critical hypothesis with regard to the emergence of modern (and bourgeois) political science; a profound meditation that crosses knowledge and power, science and revolution. Against this background, radical differences with other hypotheses in Italian thought are exposed.

description: Americans are increasingly overweight, with the number of obese adults and overweight children doubling between the late 1970s and early 2000s. Several studies of the health consequences of Americans’ weight gain indicate that health care costs and the number of premature deaths associated with obesity and overweight are high. A recent (lower) estimate of the number of premature deaths published in the Journal of the American Medical Association reveals the uncertainty researchers face in associating weight status with mortality. Of course, scientific uncertainty does not mute demands for public action.
A Consistent Parallel Isotropic Unstructured Mesh Generation Method based on Multi-phase SPH

description: In this paper, we propose a consistent parallel unstructured mesh generator based on a multi-phase SPH method. A set of physics-motivated modeling equations are developed to achieve the targets of domain decomposition, communication volume optimization and high-quality unstructured mesh generation simultaneously. A unified density field is defined as the target function for both partitioning the geometry and distributing the mesh-vertexes. A multi-phase Smoothing Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method is employed to solve the governing equations. All the optimization targets are achieved implicitly and consistently by the particle relaxation procedure without constructing triangulation/tetrahedralization explicitly. The target of communication reduction is achieved by introducing a surface tension model between distinct partitioning sub-domains, which are characterized by colored SPH particles. The resulting partitioning diagram features physically localized sub-domains and optimized interface communication. The target of optimizing the mesh quality is achieved by introducing a tailored equation-of-state (EOS) and a smooth isotropic kernel function. The mesh quality near the interface of neighboring sub-domains is improved by gradually removing the surface-tension force once a steady state is achieved. The proposed method is developed basing on a new parallel environment for multi-resolution SPH to exploit both coarse- and fine-grained parallelism. A set of benchmarks are conducted to verify that all the optimization targets are achieved consistently within the current framework.

We compute the initial energy and number distributions, per unit rapidity, at mid-rapidity, of gluons produced in high energy heavy ion collisions. We discuss the phenomenological implications of our results in light of the recent RHIC data.

description: Will 2005 be the year of the whole grain? According to the new Dietary Guidelines for Americans, it should be. For the first time, the Dietary Guidelines have specific recommendations for whole grain consumption separate from those for refined grains. The Guidelines, released in January 2005, encourage all Americans over 2 years old to eat at least three 1-ounce-equivalent servings of whole grains each day, or roughly half of their recommended 5 to 10 daily servings of grains, depending on calorie needs. The goal of this new recommendation is to improve Americans’ health by raising awareness of whole grains and their role in nutritious diets. The Guidelines could also, however, have big impacts on farmers and farm production. How big depends on consumers’ and manufacturers’ responses.

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)

description: The quantum spin Hall effect is conventionally thought to require a strong spin-orbit coupling, producing an effective spin-dependent magnetic field. However, spin currents can also be present without transport of spins, for example, in spin-waves or skyrmions. In this paper, we show that topological skyrmionic spin textures can be used to realize a quantum spin Hall effect. From basic arguments relating to the single-valuedness of the wave function, we deduce that loop integrals of the derivative of the Hamiltonian must have a spectrum that is integer multiples of $ 2 π$. By relating this to the spin current, we form a new quantity called the quantized spin current which obeys a precise quantization rule. This allows us to derive a quantum spin Hall effect, which we illustrate with an example of a spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensate.

description: In a combined analysis of the experimental data on the coupled processes $ππ\toππ,K\bar{K}$ in the channel with $I^GJ^{PC}=0^+0^{++}$, the various scenarios of these reactions (with different numbers of resonances) are considered. In a model-independent approach, based only on analyticity and unitarity, a resonance is represented by of a pole cluster (poles on the Riemann surface) of the definite type that is defined by the state nature. The best scenario contains the resonances $f_0(665)$ (with properties of the $σ$-meson), ${f_0}(980)$ (with a dominant $s{\bar s}$ component), $f_0(1500)$ (with a dominant flavour-singlet, {\it e.g.}, glueball component) and the ${f_0}(1710)$ (with a considerable $s{\bar s}$ component). If the ${f_0}(1370)$ exists, it has a dominant $s{\bar s}$ component. The coupling constants of observed states with the considered channels and the $ππ$ and $K\bar{K}$ scattering lengths are obtained. The conclusion on the linear realization of chiral symmetry is drawn.

description: The mass shift, width broadening, and spectral density for the $ρ$ and $ω$ mesons in a heat bath of nucleons and pions are calculated using a general formula which relates the self-energy to the real and imaginary parts of the forward scattering amplitude. We use experimental data to saturate the scattering amplitude at low energies with resonances and include a background Pomeron term, while at high energies a Regge parameterization is used. The real part obtained directly is compared with the result of a dispersion integral over the imaginary part. The peaks of the spectral densities are little shifted from their vacuum positions, but the widths are considerably increased due to collisional broadening. Where possible we compare with the UrQMD model and find quite good agreement. At normal nuclear matter density and a temperature of 150 MeV the spectral density of the $ρ$ meson has a width of 345 MeV, while that for the $ω$ is in the range 90--150 MeV.

Transcendence and pragmatism : a study of Sherpa religion
Creators: name: Draper, J
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1985

description: Sherpa Buddhism can be divided analytically into three different components: mahayana (represented by the monastic establishment), shamanism (represented by a variety of shaman-curers and diviners) and vajrayana {represented by married, village-based, tantric lamas). Such a division suggests that there are important differences between components within Sherpa religion. Mahayana emphasises transcendental, other-worldly concerns. Shamanism on the other hand deals with pragmatic, this worldly concerns, while vajrayana encompasses both. Now the problem with such a division is that it tends to ignore the overlap and cooperation between components found in the day to day practice of religion. Monks can be very worldly, shamans can become lamas, laymen can become ascetics. Lamas and shamans prescribe each other's rituals and often work alongside each other. The central concern of this thesis then is to explore both the differences and the relations between components, to understand how and why different doctrines, practices and practitioners coexist and are reproduced over time. I conclude that Sherpa religion is essentially a unified system, that differences are contained within and necessary to the articulation of a cohesive yet everchanging whole. To demonstrate this I focus not so much on outer forms as on inner connections. In particular I identify an underlying relationship of interdependence between transcendental and pragmatic orientations or 'modalities'. Transformations of this relationship are to be found within components as well as between them. Central to the relationship is the mediating influence of vajrayana. This relationship continues to pervade Sherpa religion, despite the increasing alienation of the transcendental from the pragmatic as result of changes this century. This is not to say that the relationship is an equal one. The monastic establishment is clearly dominant at an ideological level. Yet the interdependence of modalities encourages a basic pragmatism in everyday life. Worldly activity is essential to the material support of the clergy but the reverse is also true - the knowledge that transcendental concerns are being looked after is integral to the continued worldly activity of the laity; Sherpa religion is shown to be at once spiritually satisfying and pragmatically efficacious.

description: The log-ratio (LR) operator has been widely employed to generate the difference image for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image change detection. However, the difference image generated by this pixel-wise operator can be subject to SAR images speckle and unavoidable registration errors between bitemporal SAR images. In this letter, we proposed a spatial metric learning method to obtain a difference image more robust to the speckle by learning a metric from a set of constraint pairs. In the proposed method, spatial context is considered in constructing constraint pairs, each of which consists of patches in the same location of bitemporal SAR images. Then, a semi-definite positive metric matrix $\bf M$ can be obtained by the optimization with the max-margin criterion. Finally, we verify our proposed method on four challenging datasets of bitemporal SAR images. Experimental results demonstrate that the difference map obtained by our proposed method outperforms than other state-of-art methods.

description: Management strategies in the dairy industry, including those involved in dairy cattle reproductive management, continue to evolve as new technologies are introduced. In June of 2014, 2,980 surveys were sent to dairy farms in the United States. The survey was developed to obtain data regarding management and performance of currently operating dairy farms. Most of the operations were owned by a single operator, but the management team often incorporated other individuals such as other family members, nutritionist(s) or veterinarian(s). Although many operators still used paper records and did not include written contracts when dealing with suppliers, many used sophisticated reproductive management programs.

description: Four aspects of the crustacean visual system are investigated:1. the molecular basis of polarized light sensitivity. Discrete transient membrane potentials (bumps) were recorded from retinula cells of a crab, in response to single polarized photons. An analysis of bump rates versus the E-vector of the polarized light stimulus reveals that the rhabdomere's dichroism accounts for the photoreceptor's sensitivity to polarized light.2. The mechanism underlying the shore crab's ability to perceive slow movement, The temporal properties of the photoreceptor were characterized, establishing that the photoreceptors are not sluggish. The results indicate higher-order neural specialization accounts for the crab's resolution of slow movement. 3. The absolute sensitivity of an apposition type of compound eye. A behavioural study of the optokinetic response demonstrated an absolute-intensity threshold considerably better than previous theoretical estimates. The experimental finding provide the first definitive proof that na animal possessing a compound eye can see a star, contrary to widely accepted views that compound eyes are a poor device for the detection of point sources.4. Visual adaptation to a dark two-dimensional world. An electrophysiological and behavioural study of the Ghost crab eye illustrated the selective pressure a narrow visual ecological niche can make on eye design. The findings reveal a fundamental strategy employing oversampling and higher-order spatial summation of photoreceptor signals to overcome the problems associated with dim light vision.

Discontinuous Galerkin methods for short pulse type equations via hodograph transformations
Creators: name: Zhang, Qian
name: Xia, Yinhua
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: In the present paper, we consider the discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods for solving short pulse (SP) type equations. The short pulse equation has been shown to be completely integrable, which admits the loop-soliton, cuspon-soliton solutions as well as smooth-soliton solutions. Through hodograph transformations, these nonclassical solutions can be profiled as the smooth solutions of the coupled dispersionless (CD) system or the sine-Gordon equation. Thus, DG methods can be developed for the CD system or the sine-Gordon equation to simulate the loop-soliton or cuspon-soliton solutions of the SP equation. The conservativeness or dissipation of the Hamiltonian or momentum for the semi-discrete DG schemes can be proved. Also we modify the above DG schemes and obtain an integration DG scheme. Theoretically the a-priori error estimates have been provided for the momentum conserved DG scheme and the integration DG scheme. We also propose the DG scheme and the integration DG scheme for the sine-Gordon equation, in case the SP equation can not be transformed to the CD system. All these DG schemes can be adopted to the generalized or modified SP type equations. Numerical experiments are provided to illustrate the optimal order of accuracy and capability of these DG schemes.

description: We compute cross sections for the Drell-Yan process in nuclear collisions at next-to-leading order (NLO) in α_s. The effects of shadowing on the normalization and on the mass and rapidity dependence of these cross sections are presented. An estimate of higher order corrections is obtained from next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) calculation of the rapidity-integrated mass distribution. Variations in these predictions resulting from choices of parton distribution sets are discussed. Numerical results for mass distributions at NLO are presented for RHIC and LHC energies, using appropriate rapidity intervals. The shadowing factors in the dilepton mass range 2 < M < 10 GeV are predicted to be substantial, typically 0.5 - 0.7 at LHC, 0.7 - 0.9 at RHIC, and approximately independent of the choice of parton distribution sets and the order of calculation.

Philippines-Soviet relations

description: This study traces the development of Philippine-USSR relations and examines the implications of such development for Philippine national security, in particular, and the regional security of Southeast Asia in general. At a glance, this is a problem for history and not for international relations. However, national and regional security problems in Southeast Asia are closely tied with the historical development of each nation's relations with external powers, particularly the United States and Soviet Union. Any assessment of different national threat perceptions and their policy implications for national or regional security can be misleading if not viewed within the perpective of historical developments. This is particularly true with respect to the Philippines. The country has never been isolated from regional events nor from the influence of international powers. Its security options reflect this relationship. First, it was closely allied with the United States (as it still is), being a US colony since the turn of this century up to 1946 when the country got its political independence. Second, while politically independent, the Philippines has been economically dependent. Third, as a result of this dependency, Philippine foreign policy up to 1968 was closely tied with the American foreign policy. Fourth, with worldwide economic recession, following the oil embargo of 1973, the country was forced to open trade and diplomatic relations with other countries, particularly with the socialist and communist bloc. And fifth, the Philippines established diplomatic ties with the USSR in 1976, apparently to ensure trade and commercial markets outside of the traditional US and Japan markets.

The weaving of prestige : village women's representations of the social categories of Minangkabau society

Subjects: subject: Minangkabau (Indonesian people)
subject: Matrilineal kinship Indonesia

subject: Indonesia Social life and customs

description: The Minangkabau of West Sumatra have been much written about. Yet there is little in the literature about the Minangkabau women. This thesis explores the position and concerns of the Minangkabau women. A central argument in this thesis is that the Minangkabau village society is matrifocal. To achieve coherence in our understanding, Minangkabau social organisation has to be conceptualised as predicated on the exchange of men among groups of women. This perspective on Minangkabau social organisation is made manifest on ceremonial occasions. As such, this thesis focuses on women’s exchanges and their use of a complex costume system in ceremonial context to express the values of an enduring matrilineal society. Social change is a major issue in Minangkabau studies and this is linked to the anthropological models of matriliny where matrilineal organisation is regarded as inherently fragile and doomed to disintegration in the face of economic expansion. This thesis gives insight into the present state of play in Minangkabau matriliny and shows that changes in property relationships (particularly inheritance) and economy affect men and women differently. Through men’s and women’s ceremonial activities, matrilineal organisation is reinforced.
Public and Private Investment in Maize Research: The Case of Mexico and Guatemala

description: This paper describes the relationship between public- and private-sector research and seed production in Mexico and Guatemala. The focus is on public agricultural research institutes, and local and multinational seed companies with special emphasis on institutional rules affecting the public-private interaction. Market size and public research and regulatory policies were identified as key elements in determining the involvement of private seed companies in research. These companies are substantially increasing their research effort in Mexico and Guatemala. In Mexico, multinationals are very active, while local companies are not; the opposite is true in Guatemala. Complementarity between public and private research and seed production is stronger in Guatemala than in Mexico. Preliminary evidence presented in this study shows that commercial farmers in Mexico and Guatemala during 1987 captured most of the benefits generated from research on improved maize varieties and hybrids, provided that these materials outyield traditional ones by at least 20%.

description: Ponsoonops bollo, new species   Figures 319–345
NOTE: Male and females have been collected from different locations, show some somatic differences (e.g., carapace color), and may be mismatched.
TYPE: Male holotype from a Berlese sample of epiphytic root mat and soil from Cerro Bollo cloud forest, taken at an elevation of 1856 m at a site 3.5 km east of Escopeta, 8.56666°N, 81.83333°W, Chiriqui, Panama (Jun. 20, 1980, J. Wagner), deposited in FMNH (33623 PBI_ OON 10131).
ETYMOLOGY: The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the type locality.
 DIAGNOSIS: The male resembles those of P. boquete, P. fanselix, P. lerida, P. panto, P. salimsa, and P. vuena in having an embolus with a median protrusion (fig. 328). It differs clearly from all those but P. salimsa in having an embolus tip that is only moderately elongated (figs. 326, 329). It differs from P. salimsa in having a relatively short and broad embolus (fig. 326; rather than a long and slender one). Females resemble those of P. boquete and P. vuena in having a narrow, long-stalked anterior genitalic process with enlarged apex (figs. 341–343). They differ in having short filiform glands at the base of the anterior genitalic process, not reaching to the enlarged part (figs. 343, 344; rather than distinct, long ones), and differ at least from P. boquete in having spoon-shaped projections (glands) at the posterior genitalic process (fig. 345; rather than no or indistinct glands).
MALE (PBI_OON 10130, figs. 319–333): Total length 1.45. Leg spination: tibiae: I p1-0-0, v4-2-2; II v4-2-2; IV p0-1-0, v0-0-2, r0-1-0; metatarsi: I, II p1-0-0, v2-2-2; IV p0-1-0. Sperm pore oval. Embolus broad, tube shaped, longitudinally folded, with ventral slit and ventroprolateral opening, tip narrowed, only moderately elongated, embolus opening subcircular, strongly rebordered, retroventrally with pointed projection; conductor basally fused to embolus base, broad, lamelliform elongated, bandlike, tip truncated, longer than embolus.
FEMALE (PBI_OON 49188, figs. 334–345): Total length 1.58. Leg spination: tibiae: I p1-1-0, v4-2-2, r1-0-0; II p0-1-0, v4-2-2; IV p0-1-0, v1-0-2, r1-1-0; metatarsi I, II p1-0-0, v2-2-2. Median protruding part of large genital plate wider than long; anterior genitalic process narrowly stalked, apex distinctly enlarged; posterior genitalic process pocketlike, without remarkable duct, weakly sclerotized, distally covered with distinct spoon-shaped projections (glands).
