Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The long-time behavior of the survival probability for unstable multilevel systems that follows the power-decay law is studied based on the N-level Friedrichs model, and is shown to depend on the initial population in unstable states. A special initial state maximizing the asymptote of the survival probability at long times is found and examined by considering the spontaneous emission process for the hydrogen atom interacting with the electromagnetic field.

description: We measure the effective opacity ($τ_{eff}$) of the Intergalactic Medium (IGM) from the composite spectra of 281 Lyman-Break Galaxies (LBGs) in the redshift range $2 \lesssim z \lesssim 3$. Our spectra are taken from the COSMOS Lyman-Alpha Mapping And Tomographic Observations (CLAMATO) survey derived from the Low Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (LRIS) on the W.M. Keck I telescope. We generate composite spectra in two redshift intervals and fit them with spectral energy distribution (SED) models composed of simple stellar populations. Extrapolating these SED models into the Ly$α$ forest, we measure the effective Ly$α$ opacity ($τ_{eff}$) in the $2.02 \leq z \leq 2.44$ range. At $z = 2.22$, we estimate $τ_{eff} = 0.159 \pm 0.001$ from a power-law fit to the data. These measurements are consistent with estimates from quasar analyses at $z<2.5$ indicating that the systematic errors associated with normalizing quasar continua are not substantial. We provide a Gaussian Processes model of our results and previous $τ_{eff}$ measurements that describes the steep redshift evolution in $τ_{eff}$ from $z = 1.5 - 4$.

description: We first report a detailed transmission electron microscopy study of dislocation networks (DNs) formed at shallowly buried interfaces obtained by bonding two GaAs crystals between which we establish in a controlled manner a twist and a tilt around a k110l direction. For large enough twists, the DN consists of a twodimensional network of screw dislocations accommodating mainly the twist and of a one-dimensional network of mixed dislocations accommodating mainly the tilt. We show that in addition the mixed dislocations accommodate part of the twist and we observe and explain slight unexpected disorientations of the screw dislocations with respect to the k110l directions. By performing a quantitative analysis of the whole DN, we propose a coherent interpretation of these observations which also provides data inaccessible by direct experiments. When the twist is small enough, one screw subnetwork vanishes. The surface strain field induced by such DNs has been used to pilot the lateral ordering of GaAs and InGaAs nanostructures during metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy. We prove that the dimensions and orientations of the nanostructures are correlated with those of the cells of the underlying DN and explain how the interface dislocation structure governs the formation of the nanostructures.

description: The cancellation of noise from terrestrial gravity fluctuations, also known as Newtonian noise (NN), in gravitational-wave detectors is a formidable challenge. Gravity fluctuations result from density perturbations associated with environmental fields, e.g., seismic and acoustic fields, which are characterized by complex spatial correlations. Measurements of these fields necessarily provide incomplete information, and the question is how to make optimal use of available information for the design of a noise-cancellation system. In this paper, we present a machine-learning approach to calculate a surrogate model of a Wiener filter. The model is used to calculate optimal configurations of seismometer arrays for a varying number of sensors, which is the missing keystone for the design of NN cancellation systems. The optimization results indicate that efficient noise cancellation can be achieved even for complex seismic fields with relatively few seismometers provided that they are deployed in optimal configurations. In the form presented here, the optimization method can be applied to all current and future gravitational-wave detectors located at the surface and with minor modifications also to future underground detectors.

description: Examining the propagation of electromagnetic plane waves with the wavevector directed in opposition to the time-averaged Poynting vector in cosmological spacetime with piecewise uniform metric, we show that such negative-phase-velocity (NPV) propagation is possible in certain de Sitter spacetimes but not in anti-de Sitter spacetimes. This difference suggests the possibility of an optical/electromagnetic experiment to discern the cosmological constant of a four-dimensional universe stemming from a five-dimensional brane universe.

Bulk and Boundary Critical Behavior at Lifshitz Points

description: Lifshitz points are multicritical points at which a disordered phase, a homogeneous ordered phase, and a modulated ordered phase meet. Their bulk universality classes are described by natural generalizations of the standard $ϕ^4$ model. Analyzing these models systematically via modern field-theoretic renormalization group methods has been a long-standing challenge ever since their introduction in the middle of the 1970s. We survey the recent progress made in this direction, discussing results obtained via dimensionality expansions, how they compare with Monte Carlo results, and open problems. These advances opened the way towards systematic studies of boundary critical behavior at $m$-axial Lifshitz points. The possible boundary critical behavior depends on whether the surface plane is perpendicular to one of the $m$ modulation axes or parallel to all of them. We show that the semi-infinite field theories representing the corresponding surface universality classes in these two cases of perpendicular and parallel surface orientation differ crucially in their Hamiltonian's boundary terms and the implied boundary conditions, and explain recent results along with our current understanding of this matter.

description: In 1995, 2,434 ornamental horticulture and turfgrass businesses in South Carolina were surveyed to determine the employment, sales and expenditures generated by the state’s ornamental horticulture and turfgrass industry. Questionnaires were returned by 480 businesses (19.9 %); 431 (17.7 %) responses provided complete employment data and 397 (16.3 %) provided complete sales and expenditure information. Survey results indicate that industry sales vary significantly depending on the business type, market outlet and product lines carried. Total sales in 1994 were $726 million. Landscapers generated $224 million, Building Supply/Garden Centers $191 million, Growers $167 million, General Merchandise Stores $85 million, Grocery Stores $33 million, and Florists $27 million. Although South Carolina firms sold to retail and wholesale customers inside and outside of the state, over 50 percent of total sales were to state businesses and residents. The sale of trees, shrubs, plants and turf ($205 million) contributed the largest share to total industry sales. This was followed by landscaping services ($156 million) and sale of tools ($105 million) and chemicals ($88 million). The initial contribution of the state’s ornamental horticulture and turfgrass industry was estimated to be 18,478 full-time equivalent (FTE) jobs and $255,134,300 in income. Using the IMPLAN input-output model for South Carolina, the total (initial plus indirect and induced) employment and income were estimated to be 28,727 FTE jobs and $537,280,000 in income. Income and employment multipliers for the ornamental horticulture and turfgrass firms were estimated to be 2.10 for income and 1.59 for employment. Thus, for every dollar of income generated and every job created by South Carolina firms, an additional $1.10 and .59 jobs are created throughout the state's economy.

description: Isolation distances to limit the risk of cross-pollination from transgenic to nontransgenic crops can severely limit the potential use of transgenic crops through a so-called 'domino effect' where a field of non-transgenic crops limits adoption of transgenic crops not only on plots in its direct vicinity, but also in plots further away as its neighbors are forced to grow the non-transgenic varieties, forcing their neighbors to grow the non-transgenic variety, and so on. The extent to which this effect takes place, however, may depend crucially on the type of farm. For example, dairy farms can use grassland as a buffer between transgenic and conventional maize plots. This article assesses the effects of isolation distances for transgenic maize in dairy farming. A spatially explicit farm model is applied to a region in the Southern Netherlands to identify to what extent a single farmer (who uses non-transgenic maize) can limit other farmers’ potential to grow transgenic maize. The main findings are that 50% or more of the farms in the study area will not affect the potential adoption of transgenic maize by growing conventional maize at all. This result even holds under distance measures of 800m, which is the largest distance implemented by member states of the European Union. When they do have such effects, isolation distances can reduce the benefits from transgenic maize by €5,000 - €6,000, for a considerable part through a domino effect. Large net benefits of transgenic maize may limit the spatial effects as farmers are more willing to relocate maize production to areas where transgenic maize is allowed.

description: The common belief that the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) might be a neutralino, providing also the main Dark Matter (DM) component, calls for maximal detail in the study of the neutralino properties. Motivated by this, we consider the direct production of a single neutralino $\tchi^0_i$ at a high/energy hadron collider, focusing on the $\tchi^0_1$ and $\tchi^0_2$ cases. At Born level, the relevant subprocesses are $q\bar q\to \tchi^0_i \tilde g$, $g q\to \tchi^0_i \tilde q_{L,R}$ and $q\bar q'\to \tchi^0_i\tchi^\pm_j$; while at 1-loop, apart from radiative corrections to these processes, we consider also $gg\to \tchi^0_i\tilde{g}$, for which a numerical code named PLATONgluino is released. The relative importance of these channels turns out to be extremely model dependent. Combining these results with an analogous study of the direct $\tchi^0_i\tchi^0_j$ pair production, should help in testing the SUSY models and the Dark Matter assignment.

description: We introduce a generalization structure of the su(1,1) algebra which depends on a function of one generator of the algebra, f(H). Following the same ideas developed to the generalized Heisenberg algebra (GHA) and to the generalized su(2), we show that a symmetry is present in the sequence of eigenvalues of one generator of the algebra. Then, we construct the Barut-Girardello coherent states associated with the generalized su(1,1) algebra for a particle in a Pöschl-Teller potential. Furthermore, we compare the time evolution of the uncertainty relation of the constructed coherent states with that of GHA coherent states. The generalized su(1,1) coherent states are very localized.

description: This paper deals with the determinants of labour out-migration from agriculture across 153 EU regions over the 1990-2008 period. The central aim is to shed light on the role played by CAP payments on this important adjustment process. Using static and dynamic panel data methods, we show that standard neo-classic drivers, like the relative income and the relative labour share, represented significant determinants of the inter-sectoral migration of the agricultural labour. Overall, CAP payments have contributed significantly to job creation in agriculture, although the magnitude of the economic effect is quite small. Moreover, Pillar I subsidies have exerted an effect from three to five times stronger than Pillar II payments.

description: Recently discovered modulations of Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations in microwave-irradiated two-dimensional electron systems are shown to arise from electron heating induced by the radiation. The electron temperature, obtained by balancing the energy absorption from the microwave field and the energy dissipation to the lattice through realistic electron-phonon couplings, exhibits resonance. The modulation of the Shubnikov de Haas oscillation and the suppression of magnetoresistance are demonstrated together with microwave-induced resistance oscillation, in agreement with experimental findings.

description: This paper deals with crop rotation as a method to pest control and soil fertility from an economic point of view. In the past farmers created complex rotations to benefit from processes like natural pest control, recycling of organics, pollination and water retention. Cropping orders utilizing small fields to accommodate long lists of crop sequences were a major feature of agriculture. Today we are faced with large fields and monoculture. Usually, attempts to recognize economic benefits from rotation through modelling are meagre because of complexity. We address the issue of complexity as well as spatial and dynamics aspects of long run benefits by suggesting feasible types of modelling crop rotations (dynamic optimization). A newly introduced transfer matrix shall delineate impacts of crop compositions in period t to fertility of land in t+1. Categorizing different states of nature (which have to be communicated in line with farmers’ knowledge of externalities) it can be implemented into modern crop rotations.

Are Ultra-Luminous X-ray Sources Intermediate Mass Black Holes Accreting from Molecular Clouds?
Creators: name: Krolik, Julian H.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The origin and nature of Ultra-Luminous X-ray sources (ULXs) is a contentious and controversial topic. There are ongoing debates about the masses of the objects responsible, their sources of mass for accretion, and their relation to stellar populations in galaxies. A new picture of these objects is proposed in which they are intermediate-mass black holes confined to the disks of their host galaxies and accreting from the interstellar medium. They are then preferentially found in or near molecular clouds. This model correctly predicts the shape of the observed luminosity function and requires only a very small fraction of the baryonic mass of a galaxy to be in the form of intermediate-mass black holes. Because the X-rays they produce strongly heat nearby interstellar gas and because they move relatively rapidly in and out of dense regions, ULXs are predicted to have brief episodes of high luminosity, perhaps of order 10^5 yr in duration, but they may recur many times.

description: Airbnb is one of the most successful examples of sharing economy marketplaces. With rapid and global market penetration, understanding its attractiveness and evolving growth opportunities is key to plan business decision making. There is an ongoing debate, for example, about whether Airbnb is a hospitality service that fosters social exchanges between hosts and guests, as the sharing economy manifesto originally stated, or whether it is (or is evolving into being) a purely business transaction platform, the way hotels have traditionally operated. To answer these questions, we propose a novel market analysis approach that exploits customers' reviews. Key to the approach is a method that combines thematic analysis and machine learning to inductively develop a custom dictionary for guests' reviews. Based on this dictionary, we then use quantitative linguistic analysis on a corpus of 3.2 million reviews collected in 6 different cities, and illustrate how to answer a variety of market research questions, at fine levels of temporal, thematic, user and spatial granularity, such as (i) how the business vs social dichotomy is evolving over the years, (ii) what exact words within such top-level categories are evolving, (iii) whether such trends vary across different user segments and (iv) in different neighbourhoods.

description: This document is a Section 106 for the proposed SpaceX SLC-4/SLC-6 Increased Launch Cadence and Modification Project. The project would include increased cadence of Falcon 9 rockets from 50 to 100 launches per year, boost-back return landings at SLC-4 and SLC-6, and modifications to the SLC-6 campus to support Falcon Heavy rockets. No modifications or new construction proposed at SLC-4. Modifications at SLC-6 would include construction of two booster return landing pads, a 1,200 ft-long nitrogen gas line, commodity storage areas, a 200 ft-tall water tower, ground support equipment, and a rail system from the North Road vehicle processing high-bay to the Launch Pad. A new mobile assembly building/mobile transfer building at SLC-5 or modification of the existing structures would be required for vehicle processing. In addition, a 50-ft-wide firebreak measuring 2,035 linear ft would be mowed of vegetation, and N Road and Cypress Ridge Road would be improved with a layer of gravel within its existing footprint to protect it against erosion.

The Department of the Air Force (DAF) presented the following findings and determinations to the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) for the purposes of reaching agreement that the Area of Potential Effect (APE) for the SLC-4/SLC-6 Increased Launch Cadence and Modification Project is adequately delineated and the undertaking will have no effect on any known historic properties. The DAF has reached a Section 106 finding of no historic properties affected for this undertaking.
Watching from the shadows : transactional relations between intermediate readers and a polyfocal novel : a case study
Creators: name: Philpot, Don K.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This case study used an interdisciplinary research design to compare text-favored and reader-identified focalization for a multiperspectival children's novel. Focalization replaces the concept narrative point of view and refers to a two-part perceptual relationship in literary fictions (Rimmon-Kenan, 2002). One sixth-grade class from a K-12 school in a major Western Canadian city participated in this study. These 18 sixth-graders listened to the novel Salt River Times (Mayne, 1980) read aloud to them and completed a four-part written response set for selected chapters. Systemic-functional linguistics (Halliday & Matthiessen, 2004) was used to determine text- and reader-based focalization for focal text and participant response data. The study showed that reader-text relations for the polyfocal novel Salt River Times were narratororiented, an external (detached) orientation in a transactional model that restates Rosenblatt's (1978) transactional theory of reading in terms of a frame of narrative transaction (Stephens, 1992) and a typology of focalization (Rimmon-Kenan, 2002). Participant response data which included the verbal reports of focal participants did not support the conclusion that readers imaginatively became identified character-focalizers in intimate (participatory) transactional relations. A side finding in this study was that participants did engage with a polyfocal novel in terms of aesthetic response, the findings of two previous studies of unidentified polyfocal novels (Gustavson, 2000; Enciso, 1992). The present study points to the need for further research on the effects of polyfocalization to show whether readers benefit from specific instructional strategies that would help them identify polyfocalization.

description: Our universe appears to have been created not out of nothing but from a strange space-time dust. Quantum geometry (loop quantum gravity) makes it possible to avoid the ominous beginning of our universe with its physically unrealistic (i.e. infinite) curvature, extreme temperature, and energy density. This could be the long sought after explanation of the big-bang and perhaps even opens a window into a time before the big-bang: Space itself may have come from an earlier collapsing universe that turned inside out or inverted and began to expand again. - Key words: Loop quantum cosmology, Wheeler-DeWitt equation, singularity, Abhay Ashtekar, Martin Bojowald.

description: Additional file 8: Figure S4. DAF-16::GFP translocation following mes-2, jmjd-3.2 and utx-1 RNAi. Nuclear translocation of daf-16 using a translational GFP reporter (strain TJ356) was visualised in worms subjected to mes-2, jmjd-3.2, utx-1 and daf-2 RNAi. Worms were placed on RNAi plates at the L4 stage at 20oC and their progeny imaged using fluorescence microscopy when they had reached the third day of adulthood (n=at least 160 animals for each condition). Worms were divided into three categories, depending on the relative degree of DAF-16::GFP nuclear translocation: “mostly cytoplasmic” (where DAF-16::GFP is primarily localised in the cytoplasm), “partly nuclear” (where DAF-16::GFP is localised in both cytoplasm and nuclei) and “mostly nuclear” (where DAF-16::GFP is primarily localised in nuclei). A representative image for each class is shown in the left-hand panel, and the localisation data is shown in the right-hand panel. We used daf-2 RNAi as a positive control, as this has previously been shown to cause extensive translocation of DAF-16 to the nucleus [14]. Scale Bar = 100μM.

description: Building blocks of quantum computers have been demonstrated in small to intermediate-scale systems. As one of the leading platforms, the trapped ion system has attracted wide attention. A significant challenge in this system is to combine fast high-fidelity gates with scalability and convenience in ion trap fabrication. Here we propose an architecture for large-scale quantum computing with a two-dimensional array of atomic ions trapped at such large distance which is convenient for ion-trap fabrication but usually believed to be unsuitable for quantum computing as the conventional gates would be too slow. Using gate operations far outside of the Lamb-Dicke region, we show that fast and robust entangling gates can be realized in any large ion arrays. The gate operations are intrinsically parallel and robust to thermal noise, which, together with their high speed and scalability of the proposed architecture, makes this approach an attractive one for large-scale quantum computing.

description: We explore from a theoretical point of view pump and probe (P&P) analysis for fission of metal clusters where probe pulses are generalized to allow for scanning various frequencies. We show that it is possible to measure the time the system needs to develop to scission. This is achieved by a proper choice of both delay and frequency of the probe pulse. A more detailed analysis even allows to access the various intermediate stages of the fission process.

description: Spatially dispersed production and processing, endemic for most agricultural or renewable resource markets, causes oligopsonistic competition. The possibility and use of spatial price discrimination in these markets is well documented. It is also well known that the location of processors relative to competitors crucially affects the intensity of competition. However, insights regarding the relation between spatial price discrimination and the spatial differentiation of firms are barely present because the simultaneous investigation of these issues is often intractable analytically. We use computational economics to study these problems under a general theoretical framework. For instance, we show whether and under which conditions firms choose to differentiate their locations and/or price strategies. Results are consistent with observations in agricultural markets.

description: Traditional methods in agricultural economics and agricultural engineering have yielded mixed results when specifying the costs of an unfavourable parcel structure. Concepts related to travel costs and the production function are frequently applied when the costs of farming distant parcels are examined. However, farmers’ perspective regarding preferences for land use is ignored or partly overlapped by predictions made by researchers. Based on applied econometric models fitted to stated preference data, we revealed that the proximity of a field plot is a relevant factor affecting land-use decisions. One-fourth of landowners would change the use of a field plot if the condition of distance was changed. Landowners would continue farming a field plot if its distance from the farm compound was reduced, being willing to accept on average €79 less in net income per ha per year. The effect of a greater proximity of field plots to the farm compound following land consolidation was heterogeneous, particularly depending on the farm size and its location.
