Do X-ray Binary Spectral State Transition Luminosities Vary?
Creators: name: Maccarone, Thomas J.
Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We tabulate the luminosities of the soft-to-hard state transitions of all X-ray binaries for which there exist good X-ray flux measurements at the time of the transition, good distance estimates, and good mass estimates for the compact star. We show that the state transition luminosities are at about 1-4% of the Eddington rate, markedly smaller than those typically quoted in the literature, with a mean value of 2%. Only the black hole candidate GRO J~1655-40 and the neutron star systems Aql X-1 and 4U 1728-34 have measured state transition luminosities inconsistent with this value at the 1$σ$ level. GRO J~1655-40, in particular, shows a state transition luminosity below the mean value for the other sources at the $4σ$ level. This result, combined with the known inner disk inclination angle (the disk is nearly parallel to the line of sight) from GRO J~1655-40's relativistic jets suggest that the hard X-ray emitting region in GRO J~1655-40 can have a velocity of no more than about $β=0.68$, with a most likely value of about $β=0.52$, and a minimum speed of $β=0.45$, assuming that the variations in state transition luminosities are solely due to relativistic beaming effects. The variance in the state transition luminosities suggests an emission region with a velocity of $\sim0.2c$. The results are discussed in terms of different emission models for the low/hard state. We also discuss the implications for measuring the dimensionless viscosity parameter $α$. We also find that if its state transitions occur at typical luminosities, then GX 339-4 is likely to be at a distance of at least 7.6 kpc, much further than typically quoted estimates.

 Distribution and habitat:— Meniscium maxonianum is distributed in Venezuela, Colombia, Peru to Bolivia and Brazil. It grows in forest formations of Amazonian forest, Atlantic rain forest, and Cerrado domains, where it can grow in shaded and sunny areas at 1– 720 m.
 Notes:— The most notable character of M. maxonianum is the dense cover of sessile to stalked glands on the abaxial surface of the laminae, and having the sporangial stalks glabrous or with inconspicuous filamentous, septate structures. In these characters it differs from the similar M. longifolium, which shares the same shape of lamina and pinnae, but is characterized by having glands and trichomes (sometimes only trichomes) on the abaxial surface of the lamina and sporangial stalks with long, acicular trichomes. Another species that also has glandular trichomes on the abaxial surface of the lamina is M. falcatum Liebmann (1849: 183). However, it differs from M. maxonianum by having longer pinna stalks and acicular and erect trichomes on the costae.

description: In this paper, a deep-learning-based method for sound field reconstruction is proposed. It is shown the possibility to reconstruct the magnitude of the sound pressure in the frequency band 30-300 Hz for an entire room by using a very low number of irregularly distributed microphones arbitrarily arranged. Moreover, the approach is agnostic to the location of the measurements in the Euclidean space. In particular, the presented approach uses a limited number of arbitrary discrete measurements of the magnitude of the sound field pressure in order to extrapolate this field to a higher-resolution grid of discrete points in space with a low computational complexity. The method is based on a U-net-like neural network with partial convolutions trained solely on simulated data, which itself is constructed from numerical simulations of Green's function across thousands of common rectangular rooms. Although extensible to three dimensions and different room shapes, the method focuses on reconstructing a two-dimensional plane of a rectangular room from measurements of the three-dimensional sound field. Experiments using simulated data together with an experimental validation in a real listening room are shown. The results suggest a performance which may exceed conventional reconstruction techniques for a low number of microphones and computational requirements.

description: The management of acute wounds may be affected by malpractices leading to poor outcome, prolonged hospital stay and inappropriate use of antibiotic therapy. Acute wound infections are represented by surgical site and post-traumatic infections. The aim of this expert opinion is to identify a list of inadvisable actions and to provide a guide for an optimal management of acute wound infections. A literature search using Pubmed/MEDLINE database was performed. Articles pertaining to areas covered published until December 2019 were selected. We identified the most common malpractices in this setting and, using the Choosing Wisely methodology, we proposed a list of “Don’ts” for an easy use in clinical practice. Malpractices may occur from the surgical prophylaxis to the discharge of patient. A prolonged surgical prophylaxis, the underestimation of signs and symptoms, the omission of source control, the inappropriate collection of wound swab, the improper use of clinical microbiology and pharmacology, the lack of hygiene measures and the delay of discharge are all factors that may lead to unfavorable outcome. A multidisciplinary approach is needed to optimally manage these patients. The “Don’ts” refer to all professional figures involved in the management of patients with acute wound infections.

description: The Middle East is actually recognized as endemic for carbapenemases-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) including at least OXA-48-like and NDM-like. We performed a search of PubMed and Scopus using relevant keywords. We included peer-reviewed articles published only in English reporting any data on carbapenemase-producing bacteria from Middle East countries. The last literature search was performed on 26 October 2019. All studies describing carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales isolated from humans, animals or environmental samples from the Middle East were included. The Middle-East is considered an endemic region for CPE strains and the extensive international exchange could facilitate the spread of CPE from these countries to other parts of the Globe in which the prevalence of the CPE is low. The expansion of the Middle East conflict has been associated with the rapid collapse of the existing health care system of the concerned countries. Considering that Millions of refugees have fled their country, they could introduce these CPE strains in countries with low endemicity. In conclusion, the health care system actors should take in a count the endemicity of CPE in these countries and develop local surveillance programs to limit the spread of these MDR bacteria.

description: A key project of the Antarctic Submillimeter Telescope and Remote Observatory (AST/RO) reported by Martin et al. (2004) is the mapping of CO J=4-3 and J=7-6 emission from the inner Milky Way, allowing determination of gas density and temperature. Galactic center gas that Binney et al. (1991) identify as being on x_2 orbits has a density near 10^3.5 cm ^-3, which renders it only marginally stable against gravitational coagulation into a few Giant Molecular Clouds, as discussed by Elmegreen (1994). This suggests a relaxation oscillator mechanism for starbursts in the Milky Way, where inflowing gas accumulates in a ring at 150 pc radius for approximately 20 million years, until the critical density is reached, and the resulting instability leads to the sudden formation of giant clouds and the deposition of 4 x 10^7 solar masses of gas onto the Galactic center.

description: Astronomical calculations reveal the solar system's dynamical evolution, including its chaoticity, and represent the backbone of cyclostratigraphy and astrochronology. An absolute, fully calibrated astronomical time scale has hitherto been hampered beyond $\sim$50 Ma, because orbital calculations disagree before that age. Here we present geologic data and a new astronomical solution (ZB18a), showing exceptional agreement from $\sim$58 to 53 Ma. We provide a new absolute astrochronology up to 58 Ma and a new Paleocene-Eocene boundary age (56.01 $\pm$ 0.05 Ma). We show that the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) onset occurred near a 405-kyr eccentricity maximum, suggesting an orbital trigger. We also provide an independent PETM duration (170 $\pm$ 30 kyr) from onset to recovery inflection. Our astronomical solution requires a chaotic resonance transition at $\sim$50 Ma in the solar system's fundamental frequencies.

description: To demonstrate the usefulness of physical approaches for the study of realistic economic systems, we investigate the inequality of players' wealth in one of the most extensively studied econophysical models, namely, the minority game (MG). We gauge the wealth inequality of players in the MG by a well-known measure in economics known as the modified Gini index. From our numerical results, we conclude that the wealth inequality in the MG is very severe near the point of maximum cooperation among players, where the diversity of the strategy space is approximately equal to the number of strategies at play. In other words, the optimal cooperation between players comes hand in hand with severe wealth inequality. We also show that our numerical results in the asymmetric phase of the MG can be reproduced semi-analytically using a replica method.

description: Suppose that we have a compact Kähler manifold $X$ with a very ample line bundle $\mathcal{L}$. We prove that any positive definite hermitian form on the space $H^0 (X,\mathcal{L})$ of holomorphic sections can be written as an $L^2$-inner product with respect to an appropriate hermitian metric on $\mathcal{L}$. We apply this result to show that the Fubini--Study map, which associates a hermitian metric on $\mathcal{L}$ to a hermitian form on $H^0 (X,\mathcal{L})$, is injective.

description: We present a unified model where the same scalar field can drive inflation and account for the present dark matter abundance. This scenario is based on the incomplete decay of the inflaton field into right-handed neutrino pairs, which is accomplished by imposing a discrete interchange symmetry on the inflaton and on two of the right-handed neutrinos. We show that this can lead to a successful reheating of the Universe after inflation, while leaving a stable inflaton remnant at late times. This remnant may be in the form of WIMP-like inflaton particles or of an oscillating inflaton condensate, depending on whether or not the latter evaporates and reaches thermal equilibrium with the cosmic plasma. We further show that this scenario is compatible with generating light neutrino masses and mixings through the seesaw mechanism, predicting at least one massless neutrino, and also the observed baryon asymmetry via thermal leptogenesis.

description: The influence of thermal processing on the potential energy, atomic structure, and mechanical properties of metallic glasses is examined using molecular dynamics simulations. We study the three-dimensional binary mixture, which was first relaxed near the glass transition temperature, and then rapidly cooled deep into the glass phase. It was found that glasses prepared at higher annealing temperatures are relocated to higher energy states and their average glass structure remains more disordered, as reflected in the shape of the pair correlation function. The results of mechanical testing demonstrate that both the shear modulus and yielding peak increase significantly when the annealing temperature approaches $T_g$ from above. Moreover, the shear modulus becomes a strong function of strain rate only for samples equilibrated at sufficiently high temperatures. Based on the spatial distribution of nonaffine displacements, we show that the deformation mode changes from brittle to ductile upon increasing annealing temperature. These results can be useful for the design and optimization of the fabrication processes of bulk glassy alloys with improved plasticity.

description: We present how a phase factor is generated when an electric dipole moves along a closed trajectory inside a magnetic field gradient. The similarity of this situation with charged particles in a magnetic field can be employed to simulate condensed matter models, such as the quantum Hall effect and chiral spin Hamiltonians, with ultra cold atoms integrated on atom chips. To illustrate this we consider a triangular configuration of a two dimensional optical lattice, where the chiral spin Hamiltonian $\vecσ_i \cdot \vecσ_j \times \vecσ_k$ can be generated between any three neighbours on a lattice yielding an experimentally implementable chiral ground state.

description: In this contribution tracking control designs using output feedback are presented for a two-phase Stefan problem arising in the modeling of the Vertical Gradient Freeze process. The two-phase Stefan problem, consisting of two coupled free boundary problems, is a vital part of many crystal growth processes due to the temporally varying extent of the solid and liquid domains during growth. After discussing the special needs of the process, collocated as well as flatness-based state feedback designs are carried out. To render the setup complete, an observer design is performed, using a flatness-based approximation of the original distributed parameter system. The quality of the provided approximations as well as the performance of the open and closed loop control setups is analysed in several simulations.

description: Finite-dimensional, inviscid equations of hydrodynamics, such as the zero-viscosity, one-dimensional Burgers equation or the three-dimensional incompressible Euler equation, obtained through a Fourier-Galerkin projection, thermalise---mediated through structures known as tygers [Ray et al., Phys. Rev. E 84, 016301 (2011)]---with an energy equipartition. Therefore, numerical solutions of inviscid partial differential equations, which typically have to be Galerkin-truncated, show a behaviour at odds with the parent equation. We now propose, by using the one-dimensional Burgers equation as a testing ground, a novel numerical recipe, named tyger purging, to arrest the onset of thermalisation and hence recover the true dissipative solution.

PURPOSE: Previous randomized controlled trials have demonstrated benefit from remote symptom monitoring (RSM) with electronic patient-reported outcomes. However, the racial diversity of enrolled patients was low and did not reflect the real-world racial proportions for individuals with cancer. METHODS: This secondary, cross-sectional analysis evaluated engagement of patients with cancer in a RSM program. Patient-reported race was grouped as Black, Other, or White. Patient address was used to map patient residence to determine rurality using Rural-Urban Commuting Area Codes and neighborhood disadvantage using Area Deprivation Index. Key outcomes included (1) being approached for RSM enrollment, (2) declining enrollment, (3) adherence with RSM via continuous completion of symptom surveys, and (4) withdrawal from RSM participation. Risk ratios (RR) and 95% CI were estimated from modified Poisson models with robust SEs. RESULTS: Between May 2021 and May 2023, 883 patients were approached to participate, of which 56 (6%) declined RSM. Of those who enrolled in RSM, a total of 27% of patients were Black or African American and 67% were White. In adjusted models, all patient population subgroups of interest had similar likelihoods of being approached for RSM participation; however, Black or African American patients were more than 3× more likely to decline participation than White participants (RR, 3.09 [95% CI, 1.73 to 5.53]). Patients living in more disadvantaged neighborhoods were less likely to decline (RR, 0.49 [95% CI, 0.24 to 1.02]), but less likely to adhere to surveys (RR, 0.81 [95% CI, 0.68 to 0.97]). All patient populations had a similar likelihood of withdrawing. CONCLUSION: Black patients and individuals living in more disadvantaged neighborhoods are at risk for lower engagement in RSM. Further work is needed to identify and overcome barriers to equitable participation.

description: Numerous bacterial behaviors are regulated by a cell-density dependent mechanism known as Quorum Sensing (QS). QS relies on communication between bacterial cells using diffusible signaling molecules known as autoinducers. QS regulates physiological processes such as metabolism, virulence, and biofilm formation. Quorum Quenching (QQ) is the inhibition of QS using chemical or enzymatic means to counteract behaviors regulated by QS. We examine the main, diverse QS mechanisms present in bacterial species, with a special emphasis on AHL-mediated QS. We also discuss key in vitro and in vivo systems in which interference in QS was investigated. Additionally, we highlight promising developments, such as the substrate preference of the used enzymatic quencher, in the application of interference in QS to counter bacterial virulence. Enabled via the recent isolation of highly stable quorum quenching enzymes and/or molecular engineering efforts, the effects of the interference in QS were recently evaluated outside of the traditional model of single species culture. Signal disruption in complex microbial communities was shown to result in the disruption of complex microbial behaviors, and changes in population structures. These new findings, and future studies, may result in significant changes in the traditional views about QS.

description: We prove that if a unimodular random graph is almost surely planar and has finite expected degree, then it has a combinatorial embedding into the plane which is also unimodular. This implies the claim in the title immediately by a theorem of Angel, Hutchcroft, Nachmias and Ray [2]. Our unimodular embedding also implies that all the dichotomy results of [2] about unimodular maps extend in the one-ended case to unimodular random planar graphs.
description: The extra assumption "one-ended" got added to the title and to the main result, because there was an error in the first version of the manuscript, in the proof of Theorem 3. So Section 2 of version 1 got removed, and other changes were made accordingly. 11 pages, 2 figures

description: We present a nucleon resonance analysis by simultaneously considering all pion- and photon-induced experimental data on the final states $γN$, $πN$, $2πN$, $ηN$, $KΛ$, $KΣ$, and $ωN$ for energies from the nucleon mass up to $\sqrt s = 2$ GeV. In this analysis we find strong evidence for various higher lying resonances as, e.g., the $P_{13}(1900)$. The $ωN$ production mechanism is dominated by large $P_{11}(1710)$ and $P_{13}(1900)$ contributions.

Are galactic disks dynamically influenced by dust?

description: Dynamically cold components are well known to destabilize hotter, even much more massive components. In this paper we studied the dynamical influence of a cold dust component on the gaseous phase in the central regions of galactic disks. We performed two-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations for flat multi-component disks embedded in a combined static stellar and dark matter potential. The pressure-free dust component is coupled to the gas by a drag force depending on their velocity difference. It turned out that the most unstable regions are those with either a low or near to minimum Toomre parameter or with rigid rotation, i.e. the central area. In that regions the dust-free disks become most unstable for high azimuthal modes (m~8), whereas in dusty disks all modes have a similar amplitude resulting in a patchy appearance. The structures in the dust have a larger contrast between arm and inter-arm regions than those of the gas. The dust peaks are frequently correlated with peaks of the gas distribution, but they do not necessarily coincide with them. Therefore, a large scatter in the dust-to-gas ratios is expected. The appearance of the dust is more cellular (i.e. sometimes connecting different spiral features), whereas the gas is organized in a multi-armed spiral structure. An admixture of 2% dust destabilizes gaseous disks substantially, whereas dust-to-gas ratios below 1% have no influence on the evolution of the gaseous disk. For a high dust-to-gas ratio of 10% the instabilities reach a saturation level already after 30 Myr.

description: Many works in statistics aim at designing a universal estimation procedure, that is, an estimator that would converge to the best approximation of the (unknown) data generating distribution in a model, without any assumption on this distribution. This question is of major interest, in particular because the universality property leads to the robustness of the estimator. In this paper, we tackle the problem of universal estimation using a minimum distance estimator presented in Briol et al. (2019) based on the Maximum Mean Discrepancy. We show that the estimator is robust to both dependence and to the presence of outliers in the dataset. Finally, we provide a theoretical study of the stochastic gradient descent algorithm used to compute the estimator, and we support our findings with numerical simulations.

description: The Cooper pair shuttle is a simple model system that combines features of coherent and incoherent transport. We evaluate the full counting statistics (FCS) of charge transfer via the shuttle in the incoherent regime. We describe two limiting cases when the FCS allows for classical interpretation. Generally, the classical interpretation fails yielding negative and imaginary "probabilities". This signals that superconducting coherence survives even in incoherent regime. We evaluate the current noise in some detail.

description: The formalism of the coupled $q\bar q$ and the $φφ( π-π$, $K\bar K, πK,...$) scalar channels is formulated, taking into account the ground and radial excited $q\bar q$ poles. The basic role is shown to be played by the transition coefficients $k^{(I)} (q\bar q, |φφ)$, which are calculated using the quark-chiral Lagrangian without free parameters. The resulting method, called the pole projection mechanism (PPM), ensures: 1) one resonance for each $φφ$ channel from the basic $q\bar q$ pole, e.g. the $f_0 (500)$ resonance in the $ππ$ channel; 2) a possibility to have two $φφ$ resonances, coupled to the same $q\bar q$ state, when the channel coupling is taken into account in the meson-meson channels, which yields $f_0 (500)$ and $f_0(980)$ from the same $n\bar n$ pole around 1 GeV; 3) the strong pole shift down for special ($ππ, πK)$ channels due to large transition coefficients $k^{(I)}$, computed in this formalism without free parameters. The parameters of calculated complex poles are in reasonable agreement with the experimental data of the resonances $f_0(500)$, $f_0(980)$, $a_0(980)$, $a_0(1450)$, $K^*_0(700)$, $K^*_0(1430)$, $f_0(1370)$ and $f_0(1710)$.

description: The incidence of Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) pulmonary disease is increasing worldwide. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the treatment success rate of antibiotic therapy in MAC pulmonary disease and evaluate the effectiveness of aminoglycoside-containing regimens. We searched literature between 1 January 1980 to 19 June 2019. Studies with diagnosis criteria based on the current guidelines that reported treatment outcomes were included. We defined treatment success as the achievement of culture conversion and completion of the planned treatment without relapse while on treatment. We retrieved 45 studies including 3862 patients. The estimated pooled treatment success rate was 68.1% [95% confidence interval (CI) 64.7–71.4%]. Based on the Cochrane tool, the included studies had a low risk of bias. Forty-two studies reported macrolide-containing regimens, while 6 studies included aminoglycoside-containing regimens. Macrolide-containing regimens led to better treatment success rates comparing to non-macrolide-containing regimens; 69% vs 58.5%, respectively. Treatment duration of 12 months or more showed better results. Poor treatment success rate of MAC pulmonary disease calls for more randomized clinical trials designed based on consensus definitions of the disease diagnosis and treatment. New drugs with a better adherence rate need to be developed. PROSPERO (pending registration ID: 151674).

description: Non-linear gravitational clustering in a universe dominated by dark energy, modelled by a `quintessence' scalar field, and cold dark matter with space-time varying mass is studied. Models of this type, where the variable mass is induced by dependence on the scalar field, as suggested by string theory or extra-dimensions, have been proposed as a viable solution of the coincidence problem. A general framework for the study of the non-linear phases of structure formation in scalar field cosmologies is provided, starting from a general relativistic treatment of the combined dark matter-dark energy system. As a first application, the mildly non-linear evolution of dark matter perturbations is obtained by a straightforward extension of the Zel'dovich approximation. We argue that the dark energy fluctuations may play an active role in cosmological structure formation if the scalar field effective potential develops a temporary spinodal instability during the evolution.

description: To achieve the low noise and wide bandwidth required for millimeter wavelength astronomy applications, superconductor-insulator-superconductor (SIS) mixer based receiver systems have typically been used. This paper investigates the performance of high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) based low noise amplifiers (LNAs) as an alternative approach for systems operating in the 125 - 211 GHz frequency range. A four-stage, common-source, unconditionally stable monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) design is presented using the state-of-the-art 35 nm indium phosphide HEMT process from Northrop Grumman Corporation. The simulated MMIC achieves noise temperature (Te) lower than 58 K across the operational bandwidth, with average Te of 38.8 K (corresponding to less than 5 times the quantum limit (hf/k) at 170 GHz) and forward transmission of 20.5 +/- 0.85 dB. Input and output reflection coefficients are better than -6 and -12 dB, respectively, across the desired bandwidth. To the authors knowledge, no LNA currently operates across the entirety of this frequency range. Successful fabrication and implementation of this LNA would challenge the dominance SIS mixers have on sub-THz receivers.

description: At least one state in the first family of D-wave $b \bar b$ quarkonium levels has been discovered near the predicted mass of 10.16 GeV/$c^2$. This state is probably the one with J=2. This state and the ones with J=1 and J=3 may contribute a detectable amount to the decay $Υ(1D) \to Υ(1S) ππ$, depending on the partial widths for these decays for which predictions vary considerably. The prospects for detection of the chain $Υ(3S) \to Υ(1D) + X \to Υππ+ X$ are discussed.
