description: In recent single-particle tracking (SPT) measurements on {\it Listeria monocytogenes} motility {\em in vitro}, the actin-based stochastic dynamics of the bacterium movement is analyzed statistically (Kuo and McGrath, 2000). The mean-square displacement (MSD) of the detrended trajectory exhibit a linear behavior; it has been suggested that a corresponding analysis for the Brownian ratchet model (Peskin, Odell, & Oster, 1993) leads to a non-monotonic MSD. A simplified version of the Brownian ratchet, when its motion is limited by the bacterium movement, is proposed and analyzed stochastically. Analytical results for the simple model are obtained and statistical data analysis is investigated. The MSD of the stochastic bacterium movement is a quadratic function while the MSD for the detrended trajectory is shown to be linear. The mean velocity and effective diffusion constant of the propelled bacterium in the long-time limit, and the short-time relaxation are obtained from the MSD analysis. The MSD of the gap between actin and the bacterium exhibits an oscillatory behavior when there is a large resistant force from the bacterium. The stochastic model for actin-based motility is also mathematically equivalent to a model for integrate-and-firing neurons. Hence our mathematical results have applications in other biological problems. For comparison, a continuous formalism of the BR model with great analytical simplicity is also studied.

description: We examine critical properties of the quarter-filled one-dimensional Hubbard model with dimerization and with the onsite and nearest-neighbor Coulomb repulsion U and V. By utilizing the bosonization method, it is shown that the system exhibits an Ising quantum phase transition from the Mott insulating state to the charge-ordered insulating state. It is also shown that the dielectric permittivity exhibits a strong enhancement as decreasing temperature with power-law dependence at the Ising critical point.

description: Quantum walks are versatile simulators of topological phases and phase transitions as observed in condensed matter physics. Here, we utilize a step dependent coin in quantum walks and investigate what topological phases we can simulate with it, their topological invariants, bound states and possibility of phase transitions. These quantum walks simulate non-trivial phases characterized by topological invariants (winding number) $\pm 1$ which are similar to the ones observed in topological insulators and polyacetylene. We confirm that the number of phases and their corresponding bound states increase step dependently. In contrast, the size of topological phase and distance between two bound states are decreasing functions of steps resulting into formation of multiple phases as quantum walks proceed (multiphase configuration). We show that, in the bound states, the winding number and group velocity are ill-defined, and the second moment of the probability density distribution in position space undergoes an abrupt change. Therefore, there are phase transitions taking place over the bound states and between two topological phases with different winding numbers.

description: A search for the pseudoscalar meson eta_b is performed in two-photon interactions at LEP~2 with an integrated luminosity of 699 pb^-1 collected at e+e- centre-of-mass energies from 181 GeV to 209 GeV. One candidate event is found in the six-charged-particle final state and none in the four-charged-particle final state, in agreement with the total expected background of about one event. Upper limits of Gamma_gammagamma(eta_b) * BR(eta_b -> 4 charged particles) < 48 eV Gamma_gammagamma(eta_b) * BR(eta_b -> 6 charged particles) < 132 eV are obtained at 95% confidence level, which correspond to 95% confidence level upper limits of 9.0% and 25% on these branching ratios.

description: The concept of sustainability is one of the forefront issues in global agricultural production at present, given mounting pressure to increase food production in both a socially responsible and environmentally friendly way. From an Irish perspective the sustainable intensification of agriculture is of particular relevance given ambitious targets to increase milk production by 50 percent by 2020, in the context of European milk quota removal. Alongside this, environmental targets may be specified, meaning that expansion would have to be achieved in a sustainable way. To evaluate dairy farm-level sustainability a series of indicators are developed here using Teagasc National Farm Survey FADN (Farm Accountancy Data Network) data for Ireland from 2012. Three dimensions, reflecting the multifaceted nature of sustainability (economic, environmental and social) are considered. Given the environmental challenges inherent in the sustainable intensification of agriculture, it is encouraging to observe that the more intensive, top performing farms (in an economic sense) emit relatively less greenhouse gases when compared to their less intensive counterparts. Conversely, the better performing farms in economic terms tend to have higher nitrogen surplus per hectare on average. This is consistent with their higher rates of production intensity but poses a challenge in terms of sustainable expansion. That said this analysis demonstrates that the nitrogen use efficiency of milk production is positively correlated with economic performance, with more intensive farms producing relatively more milk per kg of nitrogen surplus. From a social perspective demography also tends to be correlated with economic performance. These indicators allow for the continued assessment of the sustainability status of Irish farming.

description: Nine species of the diatom genus Luticola D.G.Mann were collected from wet walls and other subaerial habitats from the Western Ghats of India and analysed using light and scanning electron microscopy. Of these, seven are considered to be new species and they are formally described here. They are compared with congeners based on valve size and shape, and ultrastructural features. Another two species described previously by H.P. Gandhi and originally assigned to the genus Navicula are formally transferred to Luticola. Over 25 species of Luticola have been reported from south-east Asia, most of them endemic to the region. The morphological variation of the genus is considered along with its systematics, biogeography and ecology. It appears that south-east Asia, Antarctica and South America are the areas of endemism for this genus.

description: Previous studies of the debt crisis have examined either the impact of "overhangs" on developing economies or the effect of the depressed growth in these countries on developed nations through trade and financial linkages. In this paper. these two approaches are synthesised by encompassing debtors' supply and demand behaviour in u partial equilibrium framework. The preliminary results indicate both the significance of the debt overhang in debtor nations' production and consumption decisions, and tend to suggest that debt write-offs could lead to increases in demand for agricultural goods. The investigation of overhang reduction can potentially be used to help settle the current controversy on the size and distribution of impacts from debt forgiveness policies, thus contributing valuable insights into targeting and institutional debates.

The purpose of the talk was to give a brief introduction to the subject of tight closure, aimed at commutative algebraists who have not before studied this topic. The first part focused mainly on the definition and basic properties, with the second part focusing on some applications to algebraic geometry, particularly to global generation of adjoint linear series. These lecture notes follow even more closely a series of two lectures I gave in Kashikojima, Japan, at the Twentieth Annual Japanese Conference in Commutative Algebra the previous fall, and were distributed also in conjunction with that conference.

description: We study the photometric properties and sizes of the reionization-epoch galaxies in high-resolution Simba cosmological hydrodynamical simulations with box sizes of $[25,50]~h^{-1}$Mpc. Assuming various attenuation laws, we compute photometry by extincting each star particle's spectrum using the line-of-sight gas metal column density. The predicted ultraviolet luminosity function (UVLF) generally agrees with observations at $z=6$, owing to a partial cancellation between the high metallicities of the simulated galaxies and lower dust-to-metal ratios. The simulated $z=8$ UVLF is low compared to observations, likely owing to excessive dust extinction. Simba predicts UV continuum slopes ($β$) in agreement with the $z=6$ observations, with the best agreement obtained using a Calzetti extinction law. Interestingly, the gas-phase mass-metallicity relation in Simba is higher at $z\sim 6$ than at $z\sim 2$, suggesting that rapid early enrichment (and dust growth) might be necessary to match the observed $β$. We find that $β$ is more sensitive to the dust extinction law than the UVLF. By generating mock James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) images and analysing in a manner similar to observations, we show that Simba's galaxy size-luminosity relation well reproduces the current $z=6$ Hubble observations. Unlike observations at lower redshifts, Simba predicts similar rest-UV and rest-optical sizes of $z=6$ galaxies, owing to weak age gradients and dust extinction in star-forming regions counteract each other to weaken the color gradients within galaxies. These predictions will be testable with JWST.

description: New physics in neutrino sector can reveal itself via non-standard neutrino interactions which can result in modification of the standard picture of neutrino propagation in matter. Experiments with atmospheric neutrinos has been used to probe this scenario. Using publicly available three-year low energy data in IceCube DeepCore we place bounds on the parameters $ε_{αβ}$ of non-standard neutrino interactions in propagation. We obtain restrictive constraints not only for $μτ$ sector but also for flavor changing interactions involving electron neutrinos.

description: Methyl bromide has been named as an ozone depleting chemical and there is a risk that it may be banned in the near future. This paper describes an economic evaluation of an ACIAR-funded project which is proposing to find technologies to replace methyl bromide in quarantine fumigation of timber . The paper uses the concepts of consumer and producer surplus to estimate the net welfare changes associated with the replacement of methyl bromide in the fumigation of timber for export. The evaluation includes the following impacts of a technology to replace methyl bromide: • the human health impacts due to a reduction in the incidence of UVB radiation induced medical conditions; ~ the impact on the cost of quarantine treatment of timber in the countries collaborating in the research project; and • the impacts on the world price of processed timber products and the trade dependent price spillovers to other countries and regions in the world. The paper estimates the global welfare human health benefits of, and the internal rate of return on research to find a replacement of methyl bromide with a non-ozone depleting technology.

description: The frog Arthroleptides dutoiti Loveridge, 1935, endemic to Mount Elgon, East Africa was last collected in 1962 and has not been observed since. The species is regarded as Critically Endangered by the IUCN Red List and is a priority species on the Zoological Society of London’s EDGE (Evolutionarily Distinct, Globally Endangered) project, given its Red List status and phylogenetic distinctiveness. We analyse temporal patterns of abundance (1934–2014) of A. dutoiti and the remainder of the Mount Elgon amphibian assemblage to infer the probability of re-encountering A. dutoiti and assess whether declines are species specific to A. dutoiti, or whether they are assemblage-wide phenomena. Our results show that for localities where surveys have been repeatedly conducted, A. dutoiti is likely to be locally extinct. Declines are observed in other Mount Elgon amphibians, encompassing both specialists and generalists. Causal factors for declines are unknown, but habitat change might be important, given the high degree of forest loss in the area, especially since the turn of the 20th century. Urgent sampling of preferred microhabitats of A. dutoiti at the type locality and surrounding areas beyond those included in our study are required to determine whether or not the species is extinct. Impacts on other taxonomic groups would also be useful to understand so that it can be determined how broad the changes are for the Mount Elgon biota.

description: Robert French has argued that a disembodied computer is incapable of passing a Turing Test that includes subcognitive questions. Subcognitive questions are designed to probe the network of cultural and perceptual associations that humans naturally develop as we live, embodied and embedded in the world. In this paper, I show how it is possible for a disembodied computer to answer subcognitive questions appropriately, contrary to French's claim. My approach to answering subcognitive questions is to use statistical information extracted from a very large collection of text. In particular, I show how it is possible to answer a sample of subcognitive questions taken from French, by issuing queries to a search engine that indexes about 350 million Web pages. This simple algorithm may shed light on the nature of human (sub-) cognition, but the scope of this paper is limited to demonstrating that French is mistaken: a disembodied computer can answer subcognitive questions.

description: The ultimate risk to he managed by fanning families is the risk of the farm family losing their livelihood, their equity and their way of life. The most important risky decision they must make is What price to pay when expanding the business and buying more land.?' When a farm business becomes illiquid and then insolvent and is sold up, it is commonly found that the owners paid a price for land in the necessary expansion phases of the business which was too high and the gearing which accompanied the land investment Was too high, in the light of subsequent commodity prices and interest rates. Making explicit the usually implicit assumptions about future profitability and debt servicing ability, which form the basis of the decision analysis and underlie land offer prices, facilitates judgments about how realistic arc these key assumptions. Land purchase prices can be identified whitch are likely to put the survival of the business in jeopardy. The prospective buyers then have a good idea about when to stop bidding if they wish to keep farming.

description: The irrigation industry in the Murray-Darling Basin is an important economic resource in terms of Australian agricultural production and rural employment. However, the sustainability of irrigation industries in the region is impeded by the uncertainties associated with the aging irrigation infrastructure, evolving institutional arrangements and growing resource degradation that impact on productivity. Industry reforms intended to relieve structural and behavioural impediments require wider participation of stakeholders, significant investments and commitment to change. The economic success of such policies will depend on the ability of the stakeholders to pay for those investments and the effectiveness of reforms in promoting productive innovation and market competitiveness. A modelling system to examine the spatial and intertemporal interactions of adjustment scenarios, including the evaluation of alternative infrastructure refurbishment options for the basin, is introduced in this paper. The framework will pemit the treatment of economic efficiency goals within specified environmental constraints. ABARE proposes to use this modelling framework in assessments of water resources policies, technology adoption infrastructure replacement options.

description: Hybrid (exotic) mesons, which are important predictions of quantum chromodynamics (QCD), are states of quarks and anti-quarks bound by excited gluons. First principle lattice study of such states would help us understand the role of ``dynamical'' color in low energy QCD and provide valuable information for experimental search for these new particles. In this paper, we apply both improved gluon and quark actions to the hybrid mesons, which might be much more efficient than the previous works in reducing lattice spacing error and finite volume effect. Quenched simulations were done at $β=2.6$ and on a $ξ=3$ anisotropic $12^3\times36$ lattice using our PC cluster. We obtain $2013 \pm 26 \pm 71$ MeV for the mass of the $1^{-+}$ hybrid meson ${\bar q}qg$ in the light quark sector, and $4369 \pm 37 \pm 99$Mev in the charm quark sector; the mass splitting between the $1^{-+}$ hybrid meson ${\bar c}c g$ in the charm quark sector and the spin averaged S-wave charmonium mass is estimated to be $1302 \pm 37 \pm 99$ MeV. As a byproduct, we obtain $1438 \pm 32 \pm 57$ MeV for the mass of a P-wave $1^{++}$ ${\bar u}u$ or ${\bar d}d$ meson and $1499 \pm 28 \pm 65$ MeV for the mass of a P-wave $1^{++}$ ${\bar s}s$ meson, which are comparable to their experimental value 1426 MeV for the $f_1(1420)$ meson. The first error is statistical, and the second one is systematical. The mixing of the hybrid meson with a four quark state is also discussed.

description: We investigate the behavior of a dilute quasi two-dimensional, harmonically confined, weakly interacting Bose gas within the finite-temperature Thomas-Fermi approximation. We find that the thermodynamic properties of the system are markedly different for repulsive and attractive interactions. Specifically, in contrast to the repulsive case, there appears to be a phase transition when the atoms interact with an attractive pseudo-potential, in the sense that there is no self-consistent solution for the normal ground state below a certain temperature $T^{\star}$. These numerical findings are supported by analytical investigations of the thermodynamics of the system in the complex fugacity plane, and within the random-phase approximation. We also show that the temperature $T^{\star}$ can be interpreted as the limiting temperature below which the system cannot be described as a collection of noninteracting {\em haldons}.

description: Simultaneous measurements of distance and redshift can be used to constrain the expansion history of the universe and associated cosmological parameters. Merging binary black hole (BBH) systems are standard sirens---their gravitational waveform provides direct information about the luminosity distance to the source. Because gravity is scale-free, there is a perfect degeneracy between the source masses and redshift; some non-gravitational information is necessary to break the degeneracy and determine the redshift of the source. Here we suggest that the pair instability supernova (PISN) process, thought to be the source of the observed upper-limit on the black hole (BH) mass in merging BBH systems at $\sim 45 \, M_\odot$, imprints a mass scale in the population of BBH mergers and permits a measurement of the redshift-luminosity-distance relation with these sources. We simulate five years of BBH detections in the Advanced LIGO and Virgo detectors with realistic assumptions about the BBH merger rate, a mass distribution incorporating a smooth PISN cutoff, and measurement uncertainty. We show that after one year of operation at design sensitivity (circa 2021) the BBH population can constrain $H(z)$ to $6.1\%$ at a pivot redshift $z \simeq 0.8$. After five years (circa 2025) the constraint improves to $2.9\%$. This measurement relies only on general relativity and the presence of a cutoff mass scale that is approximately fixed or calibrated across cosmic time; it is independent of any distance ladder or cosmological model. Observations by future ``third-generation'' gravitational wave detectors, which can see BBH mergers throughout the universe, would permit sub-percent cosmographical measurements to $z \gtrsim 4$ within one month of observation.

description: A permutation $π$ is said to be {\em Dumont permutations of the first kind} if each even integer in $π$ must be followed by a smaller integer, and each odd integer is either followed by a larger integer or is the last element of $π$ (see, for example, \cite{Z}). In \cite{D} Dumont showed that certain classes of permutations on $n$ letters are counted by the Genocchi numbers. In particular, Dumont showed that the $(n+1)$st Genocchi number is the number of Dummont permutations of the first kind on $2n$ letters. In this paper we study the number of Dumont permutations of the first kind on $n$ letters avoiding the pattern 132 and avoiding (or containing exactly once) an arbitrary pattern on $k$ letters. In several interesting cases the generating function depends only on $k$.

description: The density dependence of edge-localized-mode (ELM) suppression and density pump-out (density reduction) by n = 2 resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) is consistent with the effects of narrow well-separated magnetic islands at the top and bottom of the H-mode pedestal in DIII-D low-collisionality plasmas. Nonlinear two-fluid MHD simulations for DIII-D ITER Similar Shape (ISS) discharges show that, at low collisionality, low pedestal density is required for resonant field penetration at the pedestal top, consistent with the ubiquitous low density requirement for ELM suppression in these DIII-D plasmas. The simulations predict a drop in the pedestal pressure due to parallel transport across these narrow width (0.02) magnetic islands at the top of the pedestal that is stabilizing to Peeling-Ballooning-Modes (PBMs), and comparable to the pedestal pressure reduction observed in experiment at the onset of ELM suppression. The simulations predict density pump-out at experimentally relevant levels (-20%) at low pedestal collisionality due to very narrow (~0.01-0.02) RMP driven magnetic islands at the pedestal foot at ~0.99. The simulations show decreasing pump-out with increasing density, consistent with experiment, resulting from the inverse dependence of parallel particle transport on resistivity at the foot of the pedestal. The robust screening of resonant fields is predicted between the top and bottom of the pedestal during density pump-out and ELM suppression, consistent with the preservation of strong temperature gradients in the edge transport barrier as seen in experiment.

description: Upper limits are presented on the diffuse flux of ultra-high energy $ν_e$, based on analysis of data taken by the RICE experiment during August, 2000. The RICE receiver array at South Pole monitors cold ice for radio-wavelength Cherenkov radiation resulting from neutrino-induced in-ice showers. For energies above 1 EeV, RICE is an effective detector of over 15 km$^3$ sr. Potential signal events are separated from backgrounds using vertex location, event reconstruction, and signal shape. These are the first terrestrial limits exploiting the physics of radio Cherenkov emissions from charged-current $ν_e+N\to e+N'$ interactions.

The solid-liquid interfacial free energy of close-packed metals: hard spheres and the Turnbull coefficient

description: Largely due to its role in nucleation and crystal-growth, the free energy of the crystal-melt interfacial free energy is an object of considerable interest across a number of scientific disciplines, especially in the materials-, colloid- and atmospheric sciences. Over fifty years ago, Turnbull observed that the interfacial free energies (scaled by the mean interfacial area per particle) of a variety of metallic elements exhibit a linear correlation with the enthalpy of fusion. This correlation provides an important empirical "rule-of-thumb" for estimating interfacial free energies, but lacks a compelling physical explanation. In this work we show that the interfacial free energies for close-packed metals are linearly correlated with the melting temperature, and are therefore primarily entropic in origin. We also show that the slope of this linear relationship can be determined with quantitative accuracy using a hard-sphere model, and that the correlation with the enthalpy of fusion reported by Turnbull follows as a consequence of the fact that the entropy of fusion for close-packed metals is relatively constant.

Dense granular media as athermal glasses

description: I briefly describe how mean-field glass models can be extended to the case in which the bath and friction are non-thermal, thus promoting them to granular matter mean-field caricatures. Solving their dynamics one discovers a temperature with a thermodynamic meaning associated with the slow rearrangements, even though there is no thermodynamic temperature at level of fast dynamics. This temperature can be shown to match the one defined on the basis of a flat measure over blocked (jammed) configurations. Numerical checks on realistic systems suggest that these features may be valid in general.

description: One way to incorporate systematic uncertainties into the calculation of confidence intervals is by integrating over probability density functions parametrizing the uncertainties. In this note we present a development of this method which takes into account uncertainties in the prediction of background processes, uncertainties in the signal detection efficiency and background efficiency and allows for a correlation between the signal and background detection efficiencies. We implement this method with the Feldman & Cousins unified approach with and without conditioning. We present studies of coverage for the Feldman & Cousins and Neyman ordering schemes. In particular, we present two different types of coverage tests for the case where systematic uncertainties are included. To illustrate the method we show the relative effect of including systematic uncertainties the case of dark matter search as performed by modern neutrino tel escopes.

description: The growth of the sweet white lupin industry in Western Australia is a classic case of the adoption and diffusion of a new innovation in agriculture. In 1979, following the release of the cultivar lllyarrie, and the development of effective agronomic practices, the Western Australian Department of Agriculture (DAWA) commenced a major extension campaign to promo..lupins. Between 1978 and 1992 the area of Lupins grown increased from 39,000 to 822,OOO hectares. However, the pattern of adoption varied widely between regions, with differences in starting time, rate and ceiling levels of adoption. In this paper we examine regional differences in the adoption process, and estimate the impact of various factors using multivariate regression analysis. Results suggest that both DAWA extension activities and the presence of private consult. Lilts contributed to earlier start times of the adoption process.

Isospectral potentials and conformally equivalent isospectral metrics on spheres, balls and Lie groups

description: We construct pairs of conformally equivalent isospectral Riemannian metrics $ϕ_1 g$ and $ϕ_2 g$ on spheres $S^n$ and balls $B^{n+1}$ for certain dimensions $n$, the smallest of which is $n=7$, and on certain compact simple Lie groups. In the case of Lie groups, the metric $g$ is left-invariant. In the case of spheres and balls, the metric $g$ is not the standard metric but may be chosen arbitrarily close to the standard one. For the same manifolds $(M,g)$ we also show that the functions $ϕ_1$ and $ϕ_2$ are isospectral potentials for the Schrödinger operator $\hbar^2Δ+ϕ$. To our knowledge, these are the first examples of isospectral potentials and of isospectral conformally equivalent metrics on simply connected closed manifolds.

description: A comprehensive study of the exciton relaxation processes in Cu2O has led to some surprises. We find that the ortho-para conversion rate becomes slower at high stress, and that the Auger nonradiative recombination rate increases with stress, with apparently no Auger recombination at zero stress. These results have important consequences for the pursuit of Bose-Einstein condensation of excitons in a harmonic potential.

Temperature and magnetic field dependence of superconductivity in nanoscopic metallic grains

description: We study pairing correlations in ultrasmall superconductor in the nanoscopic limit by means of a toy model where electrons are confined in a single, multiply degenerate energy level. We solve the model exactly to investigate the temperature and magnetic field dependence of number parity effect (dependence of ground state energy on evenness or oddness of the number of electrons). We find a different parity effect parameter to critical temperature ratio (=~ 4 rather than 3.5) which turns out to be consistent with exact solution of the BCS gap equation for our model. This suggest the equivalence between the parity effect parameter and the superconducting gap. We also find that magnetic field is suppressed as temperature increases.
