description: The structure of the low-energy electronic states in layered cobaltates is considered starting from the Mott insulating limit. We argue that the coherent part of the wave-functions and the Fermi-surface topology at low doping are strongly influenced by spin-orbit coupling of the correlated electrons on the $t_{2g}$ level. An effective t-J model based on mixed spin-orbital states is radically different from that for the cuprates, and supports unconventional, pseudospin-triplet pairing.

description: Economic-engineering cost data and a simulation model was used to analyze the impact of sales area size and volume and equipment configuration on costs of custom application of bulk fertilizer by cooperatives. Fixed costs accounted for most of the custom application costs regardless of sales density or size of sales area for the relevant range of these variables in North Dakota. Increasing the radius of a sales area from 5 miles to 50 miles increased average costs by $2.79/ton to $32.26 per ton in Eastern North Dakota. Doubling sales by either doubling the size of the sales area or the sales density reduced average total costs by over a third for the smallest plant (500-ton storage) and over 40% for a 2,000-ton plant. Therefore, substantial savings, $166,800/year in one scenario, can be realized by some sort of consolidation. Although storage capacity placed little restriction on volume, more storage capacity than what is required for operations was recommended because of uncertainty in delivery during peak demand periods. Evaluating this type of risk was beyond the scope of this research.

description: We study the possibility that charge breaking minima occur in the Zee model. We reach very different conclusions from those attained in simpler, two Higgs doublet models, and the reason for this is traced back to the existence of cubic terms in the potential. A scan of the Zee model's parameter space shows that CB is restricted to a narrow region of values of the parameters.

description: Quantum error correction (QEC) codes protect quantum information from errors due to decoherence. Many of them also serve as prototypical models for exotic topological quantum matters. Investigating the behavior of the QEC codes under decoherence sheds light on not only the codes' robustness against errors but also new out-of-equilibrium quantum phases driven by decoherence. The phase transitions, including the error threshold, of the decohered QEC codes can be probed by the systems' Rényi entropies $S_R$ with different Rényi indices $R$. In this paper, we study the general construction of the statistical models that characterize the Rényi entropies of QEC codes decohered by Pauli noise. We show that these statistical models can be organized into a "tapestry" woven by rich duality relations among them. For Calderbank-Shor-Steane (CSS) codes with bit-flip and phase-flip errors, we show that each Rényi entropy is captured by a pair of dual statistical models with randomness. For $R=2,3,\infty$, there are additional dualities that map between the two error types, relating the critical bit-flip and phase-flip error rates of the decoherence-induced phase transitions in the CSS codes. For CSS codes with an "$em$ symmetry" between the $X$-type and the $Z$-type stabilizers, the dualities with $R=2,3,\infty$ become self-dualities with super-universal self-dual error rates. These self-dualities strongly constrain the phase transitions of the code signaled by $S_{R=2,3,\infty}$. For general stabilizer codes decohered by generic Pauli noise, we also construct the statistical models that characterize the systems' entropies and obtain general duality relations between Pauli noise with different error rates.

description: This report evaluates the U.S. and world wheat markets for the 1997-2007 period by using the World Wheat Policy Simulation Model. This analysis is based on a series of assumptions about general economic conditions, agricultural policies, the weather, and technological change. Both the U.S. and world wheat economies are predicted to be optimistic for the next ten years. World demands for both common and durum wheat are expected to grow faster than world production of the two wheat classes, resulting in gradual increases in prices of the wheats. World trade volumes of both classes of wheat are expected to expand, but trade volume of durum wheat may grow faster than common wheat.
Magnon-bipolar carrier drag thermopower in antiferromagnetic/ferromagnetic semiconductors: theoretical formulation and experimental evidence

description: Quantized spin-wave known as magnon, a bosonic quasiparticle, can drag electrons or holes via sd exchange interaction and boost the thermopower over the conventional diffusive thermopower. P-type magnon-drag thermopower has been observed in both ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic metallic and degenerate semiconductors. However, it has been less reported for intrinsic or n-type magnetic semiconductors; therefore, the impact of magnon-bipolar carrier drag on thermopower has remained unexplored. Here, a theoretical model for magnon-bipolar carrier drag thermopower is derived based on the magnon-carrier interaction lifetimes. The model predicts that the bipolar carrier drag thermopower becomes independent of both the carrier and magnon relaxation times. A proof of concept experiment is presented that confirms this prediction. We also report the observation of magnon-carrier drag thermopower in n-type and intrinsic ferromagnetic semiconductors experimentally. The p-type antiferromagnetic MnTe is doped with different amounts of Cr to produce non-degenerate and n-type semiconductors of various carrier concentrations. Cr dopants have a donor nature and create ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic clusters due to the Cr3+ oxidation state. Heat capacity measurements confirm the presence of magnons in Cr-doped MnTe. It is shown that the magnon-drag thermopower is significantly reduced for 3%-5% Cr-doped samples due to bipolar drag effects and becomes negative for 14% and 20% Cr-doped MnTe due to dominant magnon-electron drag thermopower.

description: In the context of the global energy ecosystem transformation, we introduce a new approach to reduce the carbon emissions of the cloud-computing sector and, at the same time, foster the deployment of small-scale private photovoltaic plants. We consider the opportunity cost of moving some cloud services to private, distributed, solar-powered computing facilities. To this end, we compare the potential revenue of leasing computing resources to a cloud pool with the revenue obtained by selling the surplus energy to the grid. We first estimate the consumption of virtualized cloud computing instances, establishing a metric of computational efficiency per nominal photovoltaic power installed. Based on this metric and characterizing the site's annual solar production, we estimate the total return and payback. The results show that the model is economically viable and technically feasible. We finally depict the still many questions open, such as security, and the fundamental barriers to address, mainly related with a cloud model ruled by a few big players.

description: We study network configurations that provide optimal robustness to random breakdowns for networks with a given number of nodes $N$ and a given cost--which we take as the average number of connections per node $\kav$. We find that the network design that maximizes $f_c$, the fraction of nodes that are randomly removed before global connectivity is lost, consists of $q=[(\kav-1)/\sqrt\kav]\sqrt N$ high degree nodes (``hubs'') of degree $\sqrt{\kav N}$ and $N-q$ nodes of degree 1. Also, we show that $1-f_c$ approaches 0 as $1/\sqrt N$--faster than any other network configuration including scale-free networks. We offer a simple heuristic argument to explain our results.

description: The central engine of a Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) is widely believed to launch a pair of oppositely moving jets, i.e. the forward jet moving towards us and the counter jet regressing away. The forward jet generates the radiation typically observed in GRBs, while the counter jet has not been detected yet due to its dimness. GRB 170817A, a short burst associated with a binary neutron star merger event, is a nearby event ($z=0.0097$) with an off-axis structured energetic forward jet and hence probably the most suitable target for searching the counter jet radiation. Assuming the same properties for the forward and counter jet components as well as the shock parameters, the fit to the multi-wavelength afterglow emission of GRB 170817A suggests a peak time $\sim {\rm quite~a~few}\times 10^{3}$ day of the counter jet radiation, but the detection prospect of this new component is not promising. Anyhow, if the shock parameters ($ε_{\rm e}$ and $ε_{\rm B}$) of the counter jet component are (a few times) higher than that of the forward shock e.g., the posterior results of the magnetic energy fraction of the forward shock and the counter jet are $\log_{10}ε_{\rm B}=-4.23^{+1.42}_{-0.69}$ and $\log_{10}ε_{\rm B, cj}=-3.65^{+3.06}_{-2.11}$, respectively), as still allowed by the current data, the counter jet afterglow emission will be enhanced and hence may be detected. A few hour exposure by JWST in F356W band will stringently test such a scenario.

description: Climate is the primary determinant of agricultural productivity. In many parts of the world, including the United States, one can trace much of the year-to-year variations in climate to the El Nino-Southern Oscillation phenomenon. In 1997-98 the world experienced a severe El event and this is being flowed by a strong 1998-99 La Nina. The work underlying this develops estimates of the economic consequences of these events on U.S. agriculture. Both phases result in economic damages -- a $1.5 to $1.7 billion loss for the El Nino and a $2.2 to $6.5 billion for La Nina. The major conclusion is that ENSO events do impose costs on agriculture and consumers.

description: A search for the near-infrared water-ice absorption band was made in a number of very red OH/IR stars which are known to exhibit the 10um silicate absorption. As a by-product, accurate positions of these highly reddened objects are obtained. We derived a dust mass loss rate for each object by modelling the spectral energy distribution and the gas mass loss rate by solving the equation of motion for the dust drag wind. The derived mass loss rates show a strong correlation with the silicate optical depth as well as that of the water-ice. The stars have a high mass loss rate (> 1.0E-4 Msun/yr) with an average gas-to-dust mass ratio of 110. In objects which show the 3.1um water-ice absorption, the near-IR slope is much steeper than those with no water-ice. Comparison between our calculated mass loss rates and those derived from OH and CO observations indicates that these stars have recently increased their mass loss rates.

description: We investigate the stellar and dynamical mass profiles in the centres of 25 brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) at redshifts of 0.05 $\leq z \leq$ 0.30. Our spectroscopy enables us to robustly measure the Gauss-Hermite higher order velocity moments $h_{3}$ and $h_{4}$, which we compare to measurements for massive early-type galaxies, and central group galaxies. We measure positive central values for $h_{4}$ for all the BCGs. We derive the stellar mass-to-light ratio ($Υ_{\star \rm DYN}$), and velocity anisotropy ($β$) based on a Multi-Gaussian Expansion (MGE) and axisymmetric Jeans Anisotropic Methods (JAM, cylindrically- and spherically-aligned). We explicitly include a dark matter halo mass component, which is constrained by weak gravitational lensing measurements for these clusters. We find a strong correlation between anisotropy and velocity dispersion profile slope, with rising velocity dispersion profiles corresponding to tangential anisotropy and decreasing velocity dispersion profiles corresponding to radial anisotropy. The rising velocity dispersion profiles can also indicate a significant contribution from the intracluster light (ICL) to the total light (in projection) in the centre of the galaxy. For a small number of BCGs with rising velocity dispersion profiles, a variable stellar mass-to-light ratio can also account for the profile shape, instead of tangential anisotropy or a significant ICL contribution. We note that, for some BCGs, a variable $β_{z}(r)$ (from radial to tangential anisotropy) can improve the model fit to the observed kinematic profiles. The observed diversity in these properties illustrates that BCGs are not the homogeneous class of objects they are often assumed to be.

description: Are neutrinos their own antiparticles? We explain why they very well might be.

Finally, we turn to the consequences of neutrinos being their own antiparticles. These consequences include unusual electromagnetic properties, and manifestly CP-violating effects from ``Majorana'' phases that have no quark analogues.

description: This paper presents an economic model of sustainability defined as intergenerational fairness. Assuming that intergenerational fairness is an obligation of each generation, a recursive optimization problem is obtained. The problem has the advantage that uncertainty can readily be incorporated in the model and it can be solved numerically for a wide range of specifications. The possibility of tradeoffs between efficiency and sustainability are discussed. Under plausible conditions, it is show that a sustainability obligation is met only if there is the expectations of economic growth.

description: We study the late time behavior of the scalar part of the volume modulus and the dilaton in stringy quintessence model, focusing on their contributions to the Hubble slow-roll parameter $ε$ which directly measures the deviation of the spacetime geometry from de Sitter space. When only one of the moduli is allowed to move, $ε$ converges to the stable fixed point at late time. The fixed point value is larger than $1$, thus the slow-roll cannot be realized. Moreover, if the decay rate of the quintessence potential is larger than some critical value, the positivity of the potential imposes that the stable fixed point value is just given by $3$, independent of the details of the moduli dynamics. Otherwise, the fixed point value coincides with the potential slow-roll parameter. When both the volume modulus and the dilaton roll down the potential simultaneously, we can find the relation between the contributions of two moduli to $ε$ satisfied at the fixed point. In this case, the fixed point value is not in general the simple sum of fixed point values in the single field case and cannot be larger than $3$.

description: Understanding the role of health information in food and nutrient demand has become an important issue over the last decade. Endogeneity and measurement error are two empirical problems that are inherent in this type of analysis. While some type of instrumental variables estimation would appear the obvious solution, this paper provides several theoretical and empirical reasons why this is not the case in cross-sectional analysis. An alternative estimation strategy is pursued, an empirical example given, and the implications discussed.

description: We report the discovery of a new planet candidate orbiting the subgiant star HD118203 with a period of P=6.1335 days. The best Keplerian solution yields an eccentricity e=0.31 and a minimum mass m2sin(i)=2.1MJup for the planet. This star has been observed with the ELODIE fiber-fed spectrograph as one of the targets in our planet-search programme biased toward high-metallicity stars, on-going since March 2004 at the Haute-Provence Observatory. An analysis of the spectroscopic line profiles using line bisectors revealed no correlation between the radial velocities and the line-bisector orientations, indicating that the periodic radial-velocity signal is best explained by the presence of a planet-mass companion. A linear trend is observed in the residuals around the orbital solution that could be explained by the presence of a second companion in a longer-period orbit. We also present here our orbital solution for another slightly evolved star in our metal-rich sample, HD149143, recently proposed to host a 4-d period Hot Jupiter by the N2K consortium. Our solution yields a period P=4.09 days, a marginally significant eccentricity e=0.08 and a planetary minimum mass of 1.36MJup. We checked that the shape of the spectral lines does not vary for this star as well.

The electrically charged monopole-antimonopole pairs and vortex rings, in contrast, possess vanishing magnetic charge, but finite angular momentum, equaling $n$ times their electric charge.

description: The Kuramoto model serves as a paradigm to study the phenomenon of spontaneous collective synchronization. We study here a nontrivial generalization of the Kuramoto model by including an interaction that breaks explicitly the rotational symmetry of the model. In an inertial frame (e.g., the laboratory frame), the Kuramoto model does not allow for a stationary state, that is, a state with time-independent value of the so-called Kuramoto (complex) synchronization order parameter $z\equiv re^{iψ}$; Note that a time-independent $z$ implies $r$ and $ψ$ both time independent, with the latter fact corresponding to a state in which $ψ$ rotates at zero frequency (no rotation). In this backdrop, we ask: Does the introduction of the symmetry-breaking term suffice to allow for the existence of a stationary state in the laboratory frame? Compared to the original model, we reveal a rather rich phase diagram of the resulting model, with the existence of both stationary and standing wave phases. While in the former the synchronization order parameter $r$ has a long-time value that is time independent, one has in the latter an oscillatory behavior of the order parameter as a function of time that nevertheless yields a non-zero and time-independent time average. Our results are based on numerical integration of the dynamical equations as well as an exact analysis of the dynamics by invoking the so-called Ott-Antonsen ansatz that allows to derive a reduced set of time-evolution equations for the order parameter.

description: We investigate theoretically on the basis of the steady Stokes equations for a viscous incompressible fluid the flow induced by a Stokeslet located on the centre axis of two coaxially positioned rigid disks. The Stokeslet is directed along the centre axis. No-slip boundary conditions are assumed to hold at the surfaces of the disks. We perform the calculation of the associated Green's function in large parts analytically, reducing the spatial evaluation of the flow field to one-dimensional integrations amenable to numerical treatment. To this end, we formulate the solution of the hydrodynamic problem for the viscous flow surrounding the two disks as a mixed-boundary-value problem, which we then reduce into a system of four dual integral equations. We show the existence of viscous toroidal eddies arising in the fluid domain bounded by the two disks, manifested in the plane containing the centre axis through adjacent counterrotating eddies. Additionally, we probe the effect of the confining disks on the slow dynamics of a point-like particle by evaluating the hydrodynamic mobility function associated with axial motion. Thereupon, we assess the appropriateness of the commonly-employed superposition approximation and discuss its validity and applicability as a function of the geometrical properties of the system. Additionally, we complement our semi-analytical approach by finite-element computer simulations, which reveals a good agreement.

description: This is the second paper in a series presenting the results from a 500 $h^{-1}$Mpc large constrained hydro-dynamical simulation of the local Universe (SLOW). The initial conditions are based on peculiar velocities derived from the CosmicFlows-2 catalogue. The inclusion of galaxy formation treatment, allows to directly predict observable properties of the Intra-Cluster Medium (ICM) within galaxy clusters. Comparing the properties of observed galaxy clusters within the local Universe with the properties of their simulated counterparts, enables us to assess the effectiveness of the initial condition constraints in accurately replicating the non-linear properties of the largest, collapsed objects within the simulation. Based on the combination of several, publicly available surveys, we identified 45 local Universe galaxy clusters in SLOW, including the 13 most massive from the Planck SZ catalog and 70% of those with $M_{500} > 2\times 10^{14}$ M$_{\odot}$. We then derived the probability of the cross identification based on mass, X-ray luminosity, temperature and Compton-y by comparing it to a random selection. In relation to previous constrained simulations of the local volume, we found in SLOW a much larger amount of replicated galaxy clusters, where their simulation based mass prediction falls within the uncertainties of the observational mass estimates. Comparing the median observed and simulated masses of our cross identified sample allows to independently deduce a hydrostatic mass bias of $(1-b)\approx0.87$. The SLOW constrained simulation of the local Universe faithfully reproduces numerous fundamental characteristics of the galaxy clusters within our local neighbourhood, opening a new avenue for studying the formation and evolution of a large set of individual galaxy clusters as well as testing our understanding of physical processes governing the ICM.

description: A central aim of multiscale modeling is to use results from the Schrödinger Equation to predict phenomenology on length scales that far exceed those of typical molecular correlations. In this work, we present a new approach rooted in classical density functional theory (cDFT) that allows us to accurately describe the solvation of apolar solutes across length scales. Our approach builds on the Lum-Chandler-Weeks (LCW) theory of hydrophobicity [K. Lum et al., J. Phys. Chem. B 103, 4570 (1999)] by constructing a free energy functional that uses a slowly-varying component of the density field as a reference. From a practical viewpoint, the theory we present is numerically simpler and generalizes to solutes with soft-core repulsion more easily than LCW theory. Furthermore, by assessing the local compressibility and its critical scaling behavior, we demonstrate that our LCW-style cDFT approach contains the physics of critical drying, which has been emphasized as an essential aspect of hydrophobicity by recent theories. As our approach is parameterized on the two-body direct correlation function of the uniform fluid and the liquid-vapor surface tension, it straightforwardly captures the temperature dependence of solvation. Moreover, we use our theory to describe solvation at a first-principles level, on length scales that vastly exceed what is accessible to molecular simulations.

description: Equations for forecasting US improved and native pecan prices were reasonably successful for one season ahead forecasts. USDA October pecan crop forecasts, June cold storage stocks, and a GNP price deflator were the explanatory variables. These variables are readily available early in the pecan harvesting season (September - December). Data in first differences appeared to explain price behavior and forecast better than data in levels. Forecasts for the 1996 season prices reflected 70 percent of the large drop in price from the 1995 season. Unprecedented carryin stocks may have been responsible for the larger than forecast drop in prices.

description: Pecan production, stocks, trade and prices are described. Data on tree nuts believed to compete with pecans are also presented. Pecan production and prices became more volatile in the early 1990's. Prices reached exceptionally high levels during five of the six years 1990-1995. US pecan imports have increased significantly since the mid-1980's and clearly exceed exports. Production, cold storage stocks, and inflation explained most of the year-to-year changes in season average pecan price levels in recent years.

description: We report results of a theoretical investigation of hyperfine interactions in two homonuclear isotopologues of the hydrogen molecule: H$_{2}$ and D$_{2}$. We present a set of hyperfine coupling constants: spin-rotation, spin-spin dipole and, in the case of the D$_{2}$ molecule, electric quadrupole coupling constants for all bound states of the two isotopologues in their ground electronic $X^{1}Σ^{+}_{g}$ state. We provide a list of positions and intensities of 220 997 hyperfine components of 16 079 rovibrational quadrupole transitions of the O, Q and S branches. The positions and intensities of the hyperfine components are necessary for a reliable interpretation of accurate measurements of rovibrational transition frequencies in H$_{2}$ and D$_{2}$, which are used for tests of the quantum electrodynamics of molecules and searches for new physics beyond the Standard Model.

description: This paper describes a composed error model for estimating the conditional distribution of yield loss to serve as an insect damage function. The two-part error separates yield variability due to pest damage from other non-pest factors such as soil heterogeneity, non-uniform application of agronomic practices, and measurement errors. Various common functional forms (linear, quadratic, Cobb-Douglas, negative exponential, hyperbolic, sigmoid) for the pest damage function are presented and parameter estimation is described. As an empirical illustration, the model is used to estimate a damage function for corn rootworm, the most damaging insect pest of corn in the United States. The estimated damage function gives expected proportional yield loss as a function of the root rating difference and is used to estimate yield loss due to rotation resistant western corn rootworm in east-central Illinois. The estimated average yield loss is 11.6%, more than enough to cover the cost of a soil insecticide application. However, tremendous variability in actual loss exists, so that the probability that actual loss is less than the cost of a soil insecticide ranges 32-45%, depending on the assumed yield and price. As a result, IPM methods potentially have great value, since they can eliminate uneconomical soil insecticide applications.
Search for Light Gravitinos in Events with Photons and Missing Transverse Momentum at HERA
Creators: name: H1 Collaboration
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A search for gravitinos produced in ep collisions is performed using the H1 detector at HERA. The data were taken at a centre-of-mass energy of 319 GeV and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 64.3 pb^{-1} for e^+p collisions and 13.5 pb^{-1} for e^-p collisions. If R-parity is not conserved, the t-channel exchange of a selectron can produce a neutralino, which, in models where the gravitino is the lightest supersymmetric particle, subsequently decays into a photon and a light gravitino. The resulting event signature, which involves an isolated photon, a jet and missing transverse energy, is analysed for the first time at HERA. No deviation from the Standard Model is found. Exclusion limits on the cross section and on R-parity-violating Yukawa couplings are derived in a Gauge Mediated Supersymmetry Breaking scenario. The results are independent of the squark sector. Neutralinos and supersymmetric partners of the left-handed electron with masses up to 112 GeV and 164 GeV, respectively, can be ruled out at the 95% confidence level for R-parity-violating couplings lambda' equal to 1.

description: Many nano and quantum devices, with their sizes often spanning from millimeters down to sub-nanometer, have intricate low-dimensional, non-uniform, or hierarchical structures on surfaces and interfaces. Since their functionalities are dependent on these structures, high-resolution surface-sensitive characterization becomes imperative to gain a comprehensive understanding of the function-structure relationship. We thus developed hard X-ray ptychographic reflectometry imaging, a new technique that merges the high-resolution two-dimensional imaging capabilities of hard X-ray ptychography for extended objects, with the high-resolution depth profiling capabilities of X-ray reflectivity for layered structures. The synergy of these two methods fully leverages both amplitude and phase information from ptychography reconstruction to not only reveal surface topography and localized structures such as shapes and electron densities, but also yields statistical details such as interfacial roughness that is not readily accessible through coherent imaging solely. The hard X-ray ptychographic reflectometry imaging is well-suited for three-dimensional imaging of mesoscopic samples, particularly those comprising planar or layered nanostructures on opaque supports, and could also offer a high-resolution surface metrology and defect analysis on semiconductor devices such as integrated nanocircuits and lithographic photomasks for microchip fabrications.
