description: A farm’s physical investment is affected by its fundamental q and by its financial situation, with the later comprising both the firm’s liquidity and its possibility of facing capital market imperfections. This study determines the effects of government payments, depreciation, and inflation on crop farm machinery and equipment investment behavior employing the Nonlinear Generalized Method of Moment (GMM) estimator to estimate the investment system. The magnitude of the lagged cash flows such as government payments, cash crop income, and grain income were largely responsible for determining farm investment behavior in the Kansas agriculture sector. An increase in lagged machinery and equipment depreciation and lagged farm motor vehicle and listed property depreciation increases total crop farm investment substantially for an average farm. Statistically, there is no evidence of inflation affects on crop farm machinery investment behavior.

description: The analytical theories derived here for the acoustic load impedance measured by a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), due to the presence of layers of different types (rigid, elastic and viscous) immersed in a fluid, display generic properties, such as "vanishing mass" and positive frequency shifts, which have been observed in QCM experiments with soft-matter systems. These phenomena seem to contradict the well-known Sauerbrey relation at the heart of many QCM measurements, but here we show that they arise as a natural consequence of hydrodynamics. We compare our one-dimensional immersed plate theory with three-dimensional simulations of rigid and flexible sub-micron-sized suspended spheres, and with experimental results for adsorbed micron-sized colloids which yield a "negative acoustic mass". The parallel behaviour unveiled indicates that the QCM response is highly sensitive to hydrodynamics, even for adsorbed colloids. Our conclusions call for a revision of existing theories based on adhesion forces and elastic stiffness at contact, which should in most cases include hydrodynamics.

description: In preparation for GLAST, we have compiled a sample of blazar candidates to increase the pool of well studied AGN from which GLAST counterparts will be drawn. Sources were selected with our Figure of Merit (FoM) ranking; thus, they have radio and X-ray properties very similar to the EGRET blazars. Spectroscopic confirmation of these candidates is in progress, and more than 70% of these objects have been identified as flat spectrum radio quasars and BL Lac objects. We present ~250 new optical blazar identifications based on McDonald Observatory spectroscopy, 224 with redshifts. Of these, 167 are in our FoM-selected set. To motivate the Gamma-ray nature of these objects, we analyzed the current release of the EGRET data for possible point sources at their radio positions. We develop two distinct methods to combine multiple EGRET observations of a sky position into a single detection significance. We report a detection of the signal of the set of blazar candidates in the EGRET data at the > 3 sigma level by both techniques. We predict that the majority of these blazar candidates will be found by GLAST due to its increased sensitivity, duty cycle and resolving power.

description: In January 2004, President George Bush proposed the creation of a temporary worker program to allow more migrant workers to enter the US legally. This new temporary worker program would be open to undocumented workers in the US, as well as to prospective migrants currently residing abroad. The program would temporarily allow immigrants to fill jobs that, according to employers, would otherwise go unfilled at the current wage. The US Congress vetoed the presidential proposal, however, and requested a stricter enforcement of immigration law and the consequent deportation of undocumented immigrants. This study analyzes the economic effects of these immigration reforms on the US economy using an applied global general equilibrium model of migration. In this paper the global trade and migration model (GMig2) developed by Walmsley, Winters and Ahmed (2007) is modified to include a third labor category – undocumented unskilled – to reflect estimates of undocumented workers residing in the United States. The model is then used to analyze the impacts of two policy scenarios on the US economy: first, the deportation of undocumented workers currently residing in the US; and second, the legalization of undocumented agricultural workers. The first scenario is implemented through a decline in the number of undocumented workers residing in the US to zero, and a corresponding increase in the number of workers in Mexico. The second scenario is achieved by allowing undocumented workers to obtain legal status, thereby increasing their wages and productivity. We find that the deportation of undocumented workers causes a considerable loss to the US economy in terms of real GDP. Legalization of Mexican undocumented immigrants, on the other hand, is found to increase US real GDP. Hence the paper demonstrates there are clear advantages to the US economy of implementing proposals that both allow migrant workers to remain in the United States and increase the workers ability to participate freely in the US labor force as legal residents.

description: We study the mechanical properties of semiflexible polymers when the contour length of the polymer is comparable to its persistence length. We compute the exact average end-to-end distance and shape of the polymer for different boundary conditions, and show that boundary effects can lead to significant deviations from the well-known long-polymer results. We also consider the case of stretching a uniformly charged biopolymer by an electric field, for which we compute the average extension and the average shape, which is shown to be trumpetlike. Our results also apply to long biopolymers when thermal fluctuations have been smoothed out by a large applied field or force.

Outliers to the Isotropic Energy - Peak Energy Relation in GRBs

Year: 2004

description: The peak energy - isotropic energy (EpEi) relation is among the most intriguing recent discoveries concerning GRBs. It can have numerous implications on our understanding of the emission mechanism of the bursts and on the application of GRBs for cosmological studies. However, this relation was verified only for a small sample of bursts with measured redshifts. We propose here a test whether a burst with an unknown redshift can potentially satisfy the EpEi relation. Applying this test to a large sample of BATSE bursts we find that a significant fraction of those bursts cannot satisfy this relation. Our test is sensitive only to dim and hard bursts and therefore this relation might still hold as an inequality (i.e. there are no intrinsically bright and soft bursts). We conclude that the observed relation seen in the sample of bursts with a known redshift might be influenced by observational biases and from the inability to locate and well localize hard and weak bursts that have only a small number of photons. In particular we point out that the threshold for detection, localization and redshift measurement is essentially higher than the threshold for detection alone. We predict that Swift will detect some hard and weak bursts that would be outliers to the EpEi relation. However, we cannot quantify this prediction. We stress the importance of understanding the detection-localization-redshift threshold for the coming Swift detections.

description: The performance of superconducting circuits for quantum computing is limited by materials losses. In particular, coherence times are typically bounded by two-level system (TLS) losses at single photon powers and millikelvin temperatures. The identification of low loss fabrication techniques, materials, and thin film dielectrics is critical to achieving scalable architectures for superconducting quantum computing. Superconducting microwave resonators provide a convenient qubit proxy for assessing performance and studying TLS loss and other mechanisms relevant to superconducting circuits such as non-equilibrium quasiparticles and magnetic flux vortices. In this review article, we provide an overview of considerations for designing accurate resonator experiments to characterize loss, including applicable types of loss, cryogenic setup, device design, and methods for extracting material and interface losses, summarizing techniques that have been evolving for over two decades. Results from measurements of a wide variety of materials and processes are also summarized. Lastly, we present recommendations for the reporting of loss data from superconducting microwave resonators to facilitate materials comparisons across the field.

description: This research investigates the potential effects of the row crop provisions of the standing disaster assistance program (SURE) in the 2008 Farm Bill. Results suggest little impact on producer crop insurance purchase decisions, though the program does seem to provide an incentive for mid-level coverage. Payments under the program should be expected to differ considerably across geographic regions and levels of diversification, with the program providing the greatest benefit to undiversified producers in more risky production regions.

description: A numerical solution of Einstein field equations for a spherical symmetric and stationary system of identical and auto-gravitating particles in phase transition is presented. The fluid possess a perfect fluid energy momentum tensor, and the internal interactions of the system are represented by a van der Walls like equation of state able to describe a first order phase transition of the type gas-liquid. We find that the space-time curvature, the radial component of the metric, and the pressure and density show discontinuities in their radial derivatives in the phase coexistence region. This region is found to be a spherical surface concentric with the star and the system can be thought as a foliation of acronal, concentric and isobaric surfaces in which the coexistence of phases occurs in only one of these surfaces. This kind of system can be used to represent a star with a high energy density core and low energy density mantle in hydrodynamic equilibrium.

Entanglement criteria via the uncertainty relations in su(2) and su(1,1) algebra: detection of non-Gaussian entangled states

description: We derive a class of inequalities, from the uncertainty relations of the SU(1,1) and the SU(2) algebra in conjunction with partial transposition, that must be satisfied by any separable two-mode states. These inequalities are presented in terms of the su(2) operators J_x, J_y, and the total photon number N_a+N_b. They include as special cases the inequality derived by Hillery and Zubairy [Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 050503 (2006)], and the one by Agarwal and Biswas [New J. Phys. 7, 211 (2005)]. In particular, optimization over the whole inequalities leads to the criterion obtained by Agarwal and Biswas. We show that this optimal criterion can detect entanglement for a broad class of non-Gaussian entangled states, i.e., the su(2) minimum-uncertainty states. Experimental schemes to test the optimal criterion are also discussed, especially the one using linear optical devices and photodetectors.

New studies and developments in capillary electrophoresis : advancements in complex mixture analysis and preparative operation
Creators: name: McLaren, David G.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: New developments in the areas of complex mixture analysis and preparative operation using capillary electrophoresis are presented. Micellar capillary electrophoresis has been applied to the separation of free amino acids in human plasma for the purpose of identifying inborn errors of metabolism. The method developed is capable of separating 32 amino acid conjugates in under 70 minutes and makes use of selected additives to improve the resolution and overall analysis time. A mechanistic investigation into the influence of simple, univalent salts on micelle selectivity and capacity factor is also presented and the use of these additives in the context of complex mixture analysis is explored. New techniques based on the model of flow counterbalanced capillary electrophoresis are described and the optimization of experimental parameters for preparative operation is discussed. Methods for the isolation of individual analytes from multicomponent samples on a micropreparative scale are presented. Under optimum conditions, recoveries as high as 17.5% of the amount present in the original sample can be achieved with exceptional purity. Breakdown of the buffering capacity of the background electrolyte was found to play an important role in determining the maximum recoveries attainable. Methods of mediating electrolytic modification of the buffer during the extended run times necessary for preparative operation are presented and were found to significantly improve the performance of the system. In order to develop new methods for preparative operation of capillary electrophoresis, a new instrument had to be designed. The performance of this specialized instrument is discussed with respect to separation and injection reproducibility, thermal management, sensitivity, limits of detection, and linear dynamic range.
Polar Stroking: New Theory and Methods for Stroking Paths

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Graphics (cs.GR)

subject: I.3.3

description: Stroking and filling are the two basic rendering operations on paths in vector graphics. The theory of filling a path is well-understood in terms of contour integrals and winding numbers, but when path rendering standards specify stroking, they resort to the analogy of painting pixels with a brush that traces the outline of the path. This means important standards such as PDF, SVG, and PostScript lack a rigorous way to say what samples are inside or outside a stroked path. Our work fills this gap with a principled theory of stroking. Guided by our theory, we develop a novel polar stroking method to render stroked paths robustly with an intuitive way to bound the tessellation error without needing recursion. Because polar stroking guarantees small uniform steps in tangent angle, it provides an efficient way to accumulate arc length along a path for texturing or dashing. While this paper focuses on developing the theory of our polar stroking method, we have successfully implemented our methods on modern programmable GPUs.

On the Possible Correlation Between the Orbital Periods of Extra-solar Planets and the Metallicity of the Host Stars
Creators: name: Sozzetti, A.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We investigate a possible correlation between the orbital periods $P$ of the extra-solar planet sample and the metallicity [Fe/H] of their parent stars. Close-in planets, on a few-days orbits, are more likely to be found around metal-rich stars. Simulations show that a weak correlation is present. This correlation becomes stronger when only sigle stars with one detected planet are considered. We discuss several potential sources of bias that might mimic the correlation, and find they can be ruled out, but not with high significance. If real, the absence of very short-period planets around the stellar sample with [Fe/H] $< 0.0$ can be interpreted as evidence of a metallicity dependence of the migration rates of giant planets during formation in the protoplanetary disc. The observed $P-$[Fe/H] correlation can be falsified or confirmed by conducting spectroscopic or astrometric surveys of metal-poor stars ([Fe/H] $< -0.5$) in the field.

description: This paper argues, both theoretically and empirically, that sometimes no securities law may be better than a good securities law that is not enforced. The first part of the paper formalizes the sufficient conditions under which this happens for any law. The second part of the paper shows that a specific securities law - the law prohibiting insider trading - may satisfy these conditions. The third part of the paper takes this prediction to the data. We find that the cost of equity actually rises when some countries enact an insider trading law, but do not enforce it.

description: The recent detection of GW190814 featured the merger of a binary with a primary having a mass of $\sim 23\,M_{\odot}$ and a secondary with a mass of $\sim 2.6\,M_{\odot}$. While the primary was most likely a black hole, the secondary could be interpreted as either the lightest black hole or the most massive neutron star ever observed, but also as the indication of a novel class of exotic compact objects. We here argue that the secondary in GW190814 needs not be an ab-initio black hole nor an exotic object; rather, based on our current understanding of the nuclear-matter equation of state, it can be a rapidly rotating neutron star that collapsed to a rotating black hole at some point before merger. Using universal relations connecting the masses and spins of uniformly rotating neutron stars, we estimate the spin, $0.49 \lesssim χ\lesssim 0.68$, of the secondary -- a quantity not constrained so far by the detection -- and a novel strict lower bound on the maximum mass, $M_{\rm TOV} > 2.08^{+0.04}_{-0.04}\, \,M_{\odot}$, of nonrotating neutron stars, consistent with recent observations of a very massive pulsar. The new lower bound also remains valid even in the less likely scenario in which the secondary neutron star never collapsed to a black hole.

description: Income from livestock marketing has declined as a proportion of total gross farm income in the past two decades. • Income from cattle and calves accounts for about 65-75 percent of total livestock income in the state. • Income from milk has ranged from 14-20 percent of total livestock income in the state. • Income from swine, a promising growth enterprise for the state, has generated only 5-8 percent of total livestock income. • Livestock income is very important to counties in western North Dakota, relatively unimportant in the eastern counties. • Enterprise budgets for beef and swine indicate positive returns to operator and unpaid labor, management, and equity capital for 1992. • Less than 30 percent of North Dakota's feed grain output is used within the state to support livestock production. • Large quantities of unused roughage and crop residue, currently unused, could support additional livestock production. • Livestock production can be a complementary enterprise with crop production adding to farmer income levels and stability of income. • Constraints to increased livestock production in the state can be resolved largely through a program of focused research and education.

description: Here, we report observations of photonic spin-momentum locking in the form of directional and chiral emission from achiral quantum dots (QDs) evanescently coupled to achiral hyperbolic metamaterials (HMM). Efficient coupling between QDs and the metamaterial leads to emergence of these photonic topological modes which can be detected in the far field. We provide theoretical explanation for the emergence of spin-momentum locking through rigorous modeling based on photon Green's function where pseudo spin of light arises from coupling of QDs to evanescent modes of HMM.

description: Buyers of grain use premiums and discounts to convey to suppliers the value of quality characteristics. Premiums and discounts are determined by supply and demand for those quality characteristics. This report, the eighth in a series, contains the results of a 1991 survey of pricing and marketing practices used by North Dakota country elevators for durum and hard red spring (HRS) wheat. Results for HRS wheat show that the protein level increased to the highs of 1988 and 1989 and that the premium for 16 percent protein and the discount for 12 percent protein decreased from the previous year. Discounts continued the downward trend of recent years.

description: Starting from the construction of a geometric rough path associated with a fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter $H\in]{1/4}, {1/2}[$ given by Coutin and Qian (2002), we prove a large deviation principle in the space of geometric rough paths, extending classical results on Gaussian processes. As a by-product, geometric rough paths associated to elements of the reproducing kernel Hilbert space of the fractional Brownian motion are obtained and an explicit integral representation is given.

description: The past decade has been a period of turmoil for the manufacturing sector in both the U. S. and Canada, and rural manufacturing firms in both countries have been subjected to substantial competitive pressures. The purpose of this study was to increase our understanding of the firms that comprise the manufacturing sector in North Dakota and in the Provinces of Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Data came from a survey of firms conducted in 1991. A total of 333 firms (214 from North Dakota, 61 from Manitoba, and 58 from Saskatchewan) returned useable surveys. Durable goods manufacturers dominated the sample, accounting for 65 percent in Manitoba, 66 percent in North Dakota, and 78 percent in Saskatchewan. Many of the participating firms were relatively new; about 59 percent of the Saskatchewan companies and 44 percent of the North Dakotas firms, but only 25 percent of the Manitoba manufacturers, had been established since 1979. Many of the firms also were quite small; about 57 percent of the North Dakota companies and 44 percent of those in Canada reported that their 1990 gross sales were less than $1 million. The Canadian firms were more oriented to international marketing and sales than their North Dakota counterparts. Another substantial contrast between the North Dakota manufacturers and their Canadian counterparts was the extent of their plant's production capacity that was currently being utilized. North Dakota firms reported an average of 76 percent utilization, followed by Manitoba (67 percent) and Saskatchewan (57 percent) companies. Overall, the firms that comprise the manufacturing sector in Manitoba and Saskatchewan are quite similar to their North Dakota counterparts. Many are relatively new, and most are relatively small. The Canadian firms have experienced less favorable recent trends in sales and employment growth. However, with substantial experience and widespread interest in international trade combined with substantial excess capacity, the Canadian firms may be well positioned to take advantage of the opportunities offered by the U.S. -Canada Free Trade Agreement.

description: We consider the sample of weakly active galaxies situated in 'Local Universe' collected in the paper of Pellegrini (2005) with inferred accretion efficiencies from $10^{-2}$ to $10^{-7}$. We apply a model of spherically symmetrical Bondi accretion for given parameters ($M_{BH}$,$T_{\infty}$,$ρ_{\infty}$,) taken from observation. We calculate spectra emitted by the gas accreting onto its central objects using Monte Carlo method including synchrotron and bremsstrahlung photons as seed photons. We compare our results with observed nuclear X-ray luminosities $L_{X,nuc}$ (0.3-10 keV) of the sample. Model is also tested for different external medium parameters ($ρ_{\infty}$ and $T_{\infty}$) and different free parameters of the model. Our model is able to explain most of the observed nuclear luminosities $L_X$ under an assumption that half of the compresion energy is transfered directly to the electrons.

Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We describe the basic assumptions and key results of loop quantum gravity, which is a background independent approach to quantum gravity. The emphasis is on the basic physical principles and how one deduces predictions from them, at a level suitable for physicsts in other areas such as string theory, cosmology, particle physics, astrophysics and condensed matter physics. No details are given, but references are provided to guide the interested reader to the literature. The present state of knowledge is summarized in a list of 35 key results on topics including the hamiltonian and path integral quantizations, coupling to matter, extensions to supergravity and higher dimensional theories, as well as applications to black holes, cosmology and Plank scale phenomenology. We describe the near term prospects for observational tests of quantum theories of gravity and the expectations that loop quantum gravity may provide predictions for their outcomes. Finally, we provide answers to frequently asked questions and a list of key open problems.

description: Exports to Taiwan in 1990 via air freight were approximately $2.9 billion, and imports via air freight to the united States were $3.1 billion. Total U.S. exports/imports to/from Taiwan in 1990 were $11.5 billion and $22.7 billion, respectively. China Airlines operates three air cargo hubs in the united States: New York, Los Angeles, and Dallas. The real per capita Gross National Product (GNP) in Taiwan for 1989 was $7,512, up from $3,297 in 1985. This implies that the Taiwanese economy is one of the fastest growing economies in Asia. Trade volume between the united States and Taiwan has increased substantially over the last 10 years and is predicted to grow in the future. The objective of this study is to evaluate the economic feasibility of Fargo, North Dakota, as an air cargo handling facility for products shipped to (from) Taiwan. Two static transshipment models were used to determine the economic feasibility of an air cargo hub being located at Fargo. Both transshipment models minimized trucking costs of cargo from (to) customs districts to (from) air cargo hubs and air cargo costs from (to) hubs to (from) Taiwan for exports and imports. Total savings and market shares for both export and import models are presented by evaluating the feasibility of an air cargo hub at Fargo. The model, excluding Fargo as a cargo hub, results in $47 million in exports and $1.7 million in imports. Including Fargo as a cargo hub at the New York rate saves $2.73 million; at the Dallas rate, $2.84 million; and at the Los Angeles rate, $3.08 million. Fargo's market share is 11.8% for exports and 14.8% for imports. Fargo gains its entire market share for both exports and imports from New York for all models. In conclusion, this study indicates Fargo has a logistical advantage over New York and Dallas in shipping and receiving air cargo between Taiwan and Northern Plains states (Minnesota, Illinois, and Montana). This does not necessarily mean it would be economically feasible to place an air cargo hub at Fargo. In addition to logistics, economic feasibility depends on investment and operating costs, and a volume large enough to minimize per unit operating costs through economies of scale. v
Conifold Type Singularities, N=2 Liouville and SL(2;R)/U(1) Theories

description: In this paper we discuss various aspects of non-compact models of CFT of the type: $ \prod_{j=1}^{N_L} {N=2 Liouville theory}_j \otimes \prod_{i=1}^{N_M} {N=2 minimal model}_i $ and $ \prod_{j=1}^{N_L}{SL(2;R)/U(1) supercoset}_j \otimes \prod_{i=1}^{N_M} {N=2 minimal model}_i $. These models are related to each other by T-duality. Such string vacua are expected to describe non-compact Calabi-Yau compactifications, typically ALE fibrations over (weighted) projective spaces. We find that when the Liouville ($SL(2;R)/U(1)$) theory is coupled to minimal models, there exist only (c,c), (a,a) ((c,a), (a,c))-type of massless states in CY 3 and 4-folds and the theory possesses only complex (Kähler) structure deformations. Thus the space-time has the characteristic feature of a conifold type singularity whose deformation (resolution) is given by the N=2 Liouville (SL(2;R)/U(1)) theory. Spectra of compact BPS D-branes determined from the open string sector are compared with those of massless moduli. We compute the open string Witten index and determine intersection numbers of vanishing cycles. We also study non-BPS branes of the theory that are natural extensions of the ``unstable B-branes'' of the SU(2) WZW model in hep-th/0105038.
