Boundary lubrication properties of materials with expansive freezing

Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Condensed Matter (cond-mat)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We have performed molecular dynamics simulations of solid-solid contacts lubricated by a model fluid displaying many of the properties of water, particularly its expansive freezing. Near the region where expansive freezing occurs, the lubricating film remains fluid, and the friction force decreases linearly as the shear velocity is reduced. No sign of stick-slip motion is observed even at the lowest velocities. We give a simple interpretation of these results, and suggest that in general good boundary lubrication properties will be found in the family of materials with expansive freezing.

description: We prove that if U_h(g) is a quasitriangular QUE algebra with universal R-matrix R, and O_h(G^*) is the quantized function algebra sitting inside U_h(g), then h log(R) belongs to the tensor square O_h(G^*) otimes O_h(G^*). This gives another proof of the results of Gavarini and Halbout, saying that R normalizes O_h(G^*) otimes O_h(G^*) and therefore induces a braiding of the formal group G^* (in the sense of Weinstein and Xu, or Reshetikhin).

Risk and Uncertainty

description: The brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula), introduced to New Zealand in 1858, is a significant conservation pest and a major vector of bovine tuberculosis (Tb; Mycobacterium bovis). Consequently, central and local government agencies now spend more than $30 million (NZD) each year on possum management activities. The current objective of this effort is selective, sustained control to eliminate the transmission of Tb to domestic livestock (which is assumed to require a 60% reduction in possum numbers) and to protect the areas with high ranking indigenous flora and fauna that are most at risk from possums (assumed to require a 80% reduction in numbers). Previous simulation studies have suggested that regular aerial control with bait containing sodium monofluoroacetate (1080) is the most cost-effective large-scale possum control strategy. However, there is a growing awareness that the survivors of 1080 operations can develop ‘bait shyness’. This factor can markedly alter the efficacy of future 1080 control operations but has not been considered in previous simulation studies. I, therefore, constructed a possum control simulation model to assist in identifying the most cost-effective control strategy that would achieve sustained population reductions of 60% and 80%, given bait-shy behaviour and rapid possum population recovery due to immigration. The simulation results suggest that it is possible to achieve sustained 60% or 80% reductions in possum numbers using a 1080-based control strategy, provided reasonably large (>100 ha) areas are controlled and 90% of susceptible possums are killed in the 1080 operations. The chronic-acting toxicant brodifacoum (Talon) will kill the majority of any non-susceptible (i.e., 1080 bait-shy) survivors and its occasional use instead of 1080 during the follow-up control phase provided the most cost-effective way of maintaining a possum population at low density. Sensitivity analysis indicated that the most important variable influencing the overall sucess of these control strategies was the maximum rate of re-colonisation following control. With the high rates of immigration that are sometimes observed in small forest reserves, it was not possible to maintain a sustained 80% reduction in numbers using any combination of toxicants. Expensive, permanent bait stations may be required to minimise the effects of immigration into these small reserves.
Deciding between development and preservation of a natural asset: a way out of the impasse?

subject: social preference revelation.

description: Many environmental policy issues involve conflicts between nature conservation and economic development. The economic rationale behind deciding among alternative options is predicated on some form of benefit-cost analysis (BCA). Key issues to date have been non-market valuation, the effectiveness of the precautionary principle or safe minimum standard, discounting, uncertainty, and how the decision making process implements BCA results. To date, no satisfactory mechanism seems to have been found that reconciles conflicting interests with social welfare, the Hicks-Kaldor criterion falling short. This is because BCA has been conceived of and implemented within a technocratic process, which impinges on all aspects of benefit-cost definition and BCA results, leading to economically arbitrary and socially indeterminate outcomes. An alternative model is proposed, applied to discrete, partly excludable, non-rival but congestible public goods. It is based on mechanism design theory, leading to a democratic, rather than technocratic, social choice mechanism. BCA and optimal mechanism design are combined in a way that renews provision and distribution of information and revelation of social preferences. The role of stated preference techniques, such as contingent valuation, is radically redefined. The model is referred to an Australian case of mining in a National Park.
Modeling the trajectory and measuring the Magnus coefficient and force of a spinning ping pong ball

description: Several sports including tennis, baseball, cricket and ping pong take advantage of the Magnus Effect, a forced caused by the spin of a ball travelling at a translational velocity. Because sports place a great emphasis on this phenomenon, there is an interest in modelling the trajectory of a ball involving this variable. To explore this concept, a ping pong ball was launched from a track with varying trajectories and an exposure-controlled strobe light photo was taken. This was analysed to model the path of the ball and determine the Magnus coefficient and its subsequent force. For the ping pong ball, the Magnus Force was determined to be: ^→𝐹M = (0.000207 ± 0.000053 𝑘𝑔)(^⇉𝛚×^⇉𝑣) Where ω is angular velocity and v is velocity.

description: We propose the Grouped Coefficients estimator to reduce the bias of dynamic panels that have a multilevel structure to the coefficient and factor loading heterogeneity. If groups are chosen such that the within-group heterogeneity is small, then the grouped coefficients estimator can lead to a substantial bias reduction compared to fixed effects and Arellano-Bond estimators. We also compare the magnitude of the bias of panel estimators with individual versus aggregate data and show that the magnitude of the bias also depends on the proportion of the heterogeneity that is within groups. In an application to estimating corn acreage response to price, we find that the grouped coefficients estimator gives reasonable results. Fixed effects and Arellano-Bond estimates of the coefficient on the lagged dependent variable appear to be severely biased with county-level data. In contrast, if we randomly assign the fields to groups and aggregate within the random groups, then pooled OLS of the randomly aggregated data gives a reasonable estimate of the coefficient on the lagged dependent variable.

description: Sugar cane farms are the single biggest user of irrigation water in Queensland. Recent drought and unreliable rainfall patterns in areas traditionally reliant on rainfall for crop production has resulted in increasing interest in, and adoption of supplementary irrigation to help underpin production. As a result, demand for irrigation water now exceeds supply from surface and underground sources and growers who are not able to access irrigation schemes are considering other water supply alternatives. A simple spreadsheet model has been developed to accept simulated crop yield and irrigation application data from APSIM (Agricultural Production Systems Simulation Model) and evaluate investment options in on-farm water storage and reticulation. The analysis indicates that growers should consider the construction of on-farm water storages as a viable source of irrigation water.

The theoretical underpinning of these experiments is discussed.

description: One of the growing agricultural subsectors in developing countries is livestock. Livestock and livestock products account for a third of the agricultural gross output. However, the lack of viable livestock market information systems to increase efficiency of markets and support the decision making of traders, pastoralists, and policy makers are still an obstacle for a full development of this subsector. It is along these lines that the USAID, through the Global Livestock-Collaborative Research Support Program, supported the introduction of livestock market information systems in Kenya and Tanzania in 2003, and later in Mali in 2007. The overall objective of the dissertation is to test for cattle markets integration in three African developing countries of Mali, Kenya, and Tanzania. One way of assessing the efficiency of market and the impacts of liberalization policies is to test for market integration and price transmission. We also analyzed price leadership among the markets in each of the three case studies. Autoregressive models (vector autoregressive models and error correction model) were used to determine the level of cattle market integration. The results show a low level of cattle markets integration in Mali. The cattle markets in Mali are more-or-less independent with regard to price transmission among markets. Kenya cattle markets showed a good level of integration among the markets. Chepareria market in the Rift Valley region (west) seemed to lead other markets in price signal transmission. Tanzanian cattle markets exhibited a higher level of integration with Pugu market, in Dar es Salaam, leading other cattle markets in price signal transmission. In conclusion, the cattle markets in Tanzania and Kenya appeared to have a relatively higher level of market integration compared to the cattle markets in Mali. There is a reasonable belief that the time the livestock market information system has been in place, in each country, played a role in the market integration process. More time and better communications seem to have allowed the market actors to learn arbitrage skills and strengthen their trade relationships that ultimately led to the market integration.

description: This essay investigates what documentary poetry might bring to the scene of natural history. More specifically, it charts the emergence of a methodology for understanding how docupoetic praxis might work with the material instantiations of the natural history archives. The essay reflects on the production of a suite of documentary poems centred on the habitat dioramas of the American Museum of Natural History. The author undertakes this reflection via autophenomenography, deploying the ‘material phenomenology’ of French philosopher Michel Henry to explain how her research and writing practices were constituted in the archival encounter. The author shows that while the non-textual archives may at first seem unavailable to docupoetic praxis, a strategy for using these objects is made possible by understanding their phenomenality as coincident with the poet’s own affectivity. To this end, the paper includes fragments of the author’s poetry in development. After Michel Henry, the author suggests that the resulting poetry is not a representation of the archival object, but rather a presentation directed by the poet’s affectivity or ‘pathos’.

description: The purpose of research was analyzing educational needs of corn farmer's regarding biological control Bracon parasitoid of corn Caradrina in Dezful Township, Khouzestan province, Iran. The method of research was correlative descriptive. A random sample of Dezful township corn farmers of Khouzestan province, Iran (n=350) were selected for participation in the study. A questionnaire was developed to gather information regarding educational needs of corn farmer's regarding biological control Bracon parasitoid of corn Caradrina. The questionnaire was pilot tested in Shoushtar Township. Questionnaire reliability was estimated by Cronbach’s alpha. Reliability was 0.85. Data collected were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The results indicated 53.4% of corn farmers had low and very low knowledge regarding biological control Bracon parasitoid of corn Caradrina. Based on results, farmers need to education regarding all subject area of biological control. Also, there was significant correlation between knowledge of corn farmer's with social participation, level of education, income, technical knowledge and extension activity. The result of regression indicated that 53% of the variances in the knowledge of respondents could be explained by the social participation, level of education, income, technical knowledge and extension activity.

Proposed approach allows quick evaluation of network architectures to fit performance and power constraints of available hardware, while ensuring good hyper-parameter choices for each network in real-world scenarios. Leveraging the vast amount of unlabeled data with a student/teacher based semi-supervised method, classification accuracy is improved from 84% to 94% in the validation set. For model optimization, we explore the hyper-parameter space through population based training and obtain an optimized model in the same time frame as it takes to train a single model.

description: The overuse of agrochemicals by non-traditional crop farmers in Guyana is of concern, but literature reveals a paucity of information concerning the reasons for farmers’ persistence of this inappropriate practice. This paper presents some of the results from PhD research which adopted an original approach, to unearth and explain the reasons for this phenomenon and formulate relevant recommendations. The investigation utilised a mixed methods strategy of complementary quantitative and qualitative techniques; comprising analysis of data from farm unit surveys and farmer and key informant interviews, respectively. Quantitative analysis, conducted via SPSS software, revealed that pesticide and fertiliser overuse among occurred via farmers’ use of high frequencies and concentrations of the chemicals. Factors which were significantly associated with overuse include farmers’ age, education level, area cultivated, land tenure status and the ‘source-type’ of information they accessed. However, qualitative analysis conducted with the aid of NVivo software, demonstrated that reasons for farmers’ overuse were not merely the single factors which showed statistical significance with this practice. On the contrary, this study revealed that the reasons for farmers overuse practices were embedded within an intricate network of contingent, support and contextual factors and to a great extent were explained by detailed analysis of farmers’ perceptions of overuse. This paper focuses initially on quantitative findings which reveal those factors significant to farmers’ overuse and subsequently explains complementary qualitative analysis of farmers’ perceptions which shows that understanding of farmers’ perceptions present new insight into their practice of agrochemical overuse. Recommendations of this study suggest a new orientation from those previously suggested in other studies and offer a targeted approach for resolution of agrochemical overuse in farmers of Guyana, which includes strategic farmer-training in agrochemical use.

description: We classify all the non-hyperbolic Dehn fillings of the complement of the chain-link with 3 components, conjectured to be the smallest hyperbolic 3-manifold with 3 cusps. We deduce the classification of all non-hyperbolic Dehn fillings of infinitely many 1-cusped and 2-cusped hyperbolic manifolds, including most of those with smallest known volume. Among other consequences of this classification, we mention the following: - for every integer n we can prove that there are infinitely many hyperbolic knots in the 3-sphere having exceptional surgeries n, n+1, n+2, n+3, with n+1, n+2 giving small Seifert manifolds and n, n+3 giving toroidal manifolds; - we exhibit a 2-cusped hyperbolic manifold that contains a pair of inequivalent knots having homeomorphic complements; - we exhibit a chiral 3-manifold containing a pair of inequivalent hyperbolic knots with orientation-preservingly homeomorphic complements; - we give explicit lower bounds for the maximal distance between small Seifert fillings and any other kind of exceptional filling.

The relationship between kinematic viscosity and the swimming speeds of Paramecium aurelia, Tetrahymena spp., and Euglena spp.

description: The effects of viscosity on the swimming speeds of three different protists, Paramecium aurelia, Tetrahymena spp., and Euglena spp., were observed and recorded. Swimming speed was modelled against viscosity using the powerlaw s = kν – m , as suggested in literature. For Tetrahymena and Euglena, we found m to be 0.821 and 0.847 respectively. The data obtained from these two organisms fit the power-law models well, but with Paramecium, our proposed power-law model with m of 0.989 fits the data less closely. We suspect the presence of other factors unaccounted for in this study that significantly affected the swimming speed of Paramecium, although it is possible that the deviations from the model are simply due to statistical fluctuation.

description: This paper aims to investigate how the implementation of Ecological Focus Areas (EFA) measures of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) will affect regional agricultural development, the economic performance of farms and land use changes in two case study areas in Sweden and Germany. The research approach combines agent-based modelling (ABM) with stakeholder interactions to evaluate how different policy scenarios involving a portfolio of selected measures will affect farm sizes, profits and incomes as well as farms’ choices of EFA measures. Results show that structural impacts of EFA measures are minor in both regions compared with general impacts of external and internal convergence of Pillar 1 payments. Most preferred alternatives (fallow land in Sweden and catch crops in Germany) are rather cost and income preserving than decisive for the conservation of biodiversity. However general concern regarding the future of biodiversity and potential benefits for a sustainable agriculture was revealed during stakeholder workshops. This should further encourage initiatives towards future exchanges in order to better spatially target ecosystem services and reward efforts and outcomes accordingly.

description: A number of recent studies have focused on the statistical properties of networked systems such as social networks and the World-Wide Web. Researchers have concentrated particularly on a few properties which seem to be common to many networks: the small-world property, power-law degree distributions, and network transitivity. In this paper, we highlight another property which is found in many networks, the property of community structure, in which network nodes are joined together in tightly-knit groups between which there are only looser connections. We propose a new method for detecting such communities, built around the idea of using centrality indices to find community boundaries. We test our method on computer generated and real-world graphs whose community structure is already known, and find that it detects this known structure with high sensitivity and reliability. We also apply the method to two networks whose community structure is not well-known - a collaboration network and a food web - and find that it detects significant and informative community divisions in both cases.

description: Context. Modern space telescopes are currently providing high-precision light curves for a large fraction of the sky, such that many new variable stars are being discovered. However, some stars have periodic variability with periods of order minutes and require high-cadence photometry to probe the physical mechanisms responsible. A cadence of less than a minute is often required to remove Nyquist ambiguities and confirm rapid variability which forces observers to obtain high-cadence ground-based photometry. Aims. We aim to provide a modern software package to reduce ground-based photometric time series data and deliver optimised (differential) light curves. To produce high-quality light curves, which maximise the amplitude signal-to-noise ratio of short-period variability in a Fourier spectrum, we require adaptive elliptical aperture photometry as this represents a significant advantage compared to aperture photometry using circular apertures of fixed radii. Methods. The methodology of our code and its advantages are demonstrated using high-cadence ground-based photometry from the South African Astronomical Observatory (SAAO) of a confirmed rapidly oscillating Ap (roAp) star. Furthermore, we employ our software package to search for rapid oscillations in three candidate roAp stars. Results. We demonstrate that our pipeline represents a significant improvement in the quality of light curves, and we make it available to the community for use with different instruments and observatories. We search for and demonstrate the lack of high-frequency roAp pulsations to a limit of $\sim$1 mmag using B data in the three Ap stars HD 158596, HD 166542 and HD 181810. Conclusions. We demonstrate the significant improvement in the extraction of short-period variability caused by high-frequency pulsation modes, and discuss the implication of null detections in three Ap stars.

description: At future e+- e- linear colliders, the event rates and clean signals of scalar fermion production - in particular for the scalar leptons - allow very precise measurements of their masses and couplings and the determination of their quantum numbers. Various methods are proposed for extracting these parameters from the data at the sfermion thresholds and in the continuum. At the same time, NLO radiative corrections and non-zero width effects have been calculated in order to match the experimental accuracy. The substantial mixing expected for the third generation sfermions opens up additional opportunities. Techniques are presented for determining potential CP-violating phases and for extracting tan(beta) from the stau sector, in particular at high values. The consequences of possible large mass differences in the stop and sbottom system are explored in dedicated analyses.

description: OGLE-LMC-DPV-065 is an interacting binary whose double-hump long photometric cycle remains hitherto unexplained. We analyze photometric time series available in archive datasets spanning 124 years and present the analysis of new high-resolution spectra. A refined orbital period is found of 10\fd0316267 $\pm$ 0\fd0000056 without any evidence of variability. In spite of this constancy, small but significant changes in timings of the secondary eclipse are detected. We show that the long period continuously decreases from 350 to 218 days during 13 years, then remains almost constant for about 10 years. Our study of radial velocities indicates a circular orbit for the binary and yields a mass ratio of 0.203 $\pm$ 0.001. From the analysis of the orbital light curve we find that the system contains 13.8 and 2.81 \msun\ stars of radii 8.8 and 12.6 \rsun\ and absolute bolometric magnitudes -6.4 and -3.0, respectively. The orbit semi-major axis is 49.9 \rsun\ and the stellar temperatures are 25460 K and 9825 K. We find evidence for an optically and geometrically thick disk around the hotter star. According to our model, the disk has a radius of 25 \rsun, central and outer vertical thickness of 1.6 \rsun\ and 3.5 \rsun, and temperature of 9380 K at its outer edge. Two shock regions located at roughly opposite parts of the outer disk rim can explain the light curves asymmetries. The system is a member of the double periodic variables and its relatively high-mass and long photometric cycle make it similar in some aspects to $β$ Lyrae.

description: A model for determining funding requirements for uninterrupted operation as a hedger is presented. Hedging marking-to-market requirements are reduced as cash market liquidity increases and basis risk is reduced. Yet, trading limitations hedgers face raise funding requirements. Therefore, some hedgers' funding requirements are higher than those of speculators in the same market.

description: The methodology presented provides a quantitative way to characterize investor behavior and price dynamics within a particular asset class and time period. The methodology is applied to a data set consisting of over 250,000 data points of the S&P 100 stocks during 2004-2018. Using a two-way fixed-effects model, we uncover trader motivations including evidence of both under- and overreaction within a unified setting. A nonlinear relationship is found between return and trend suggesting a small, positive trend increases the return, while a larger one tends to decrease it. The shape parameters of the nonlinearity quantify trader motivation to buy into trends or wait for bargains. The methodology allows the testing of any behavioral finance bias or technical analysis concept.
