4D Localization in Randall-Sundrum 2 Supergravity and in Vasiliev Theories

Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We discuss the problem of localization of 4D massless states in Randall-Sundrum 2 (one-brane) models. A Randall-Sundrum 2 construction starting from N=8 gauged supergravity in 5D Anti de Sitter space gives rise to an N=4 supergravity-matter system. We explicitly show that only the modes of the N=4 graviton supermultiplet localize on the 4D brane, streamlining and generalizing previous works. We also point out that while charged 1/4 BPS black holes do exist in the 4D theory, they are always produced in sets of total charge zero. This zero-charge configuration uplifts to a 5D metric without naked singularities, thus avoiding the curvature singularity of the 5D uplift of an isolated charged BPS black hole. Finally, we resolve a puzzle with localization of massless high spin fields on a (putative) Randall-Sundrum 2 construction based on Vasiliev's high spin theories. We show that while high spin fields do localize, the gauge symmetry that ensures decoupling of their unphysical polarizations is anomalous. This implies that the high spin fields must acquire a mass.

description: The modern Western concept of the individual begins first with the question of oneness. What does it means to be one? Herein I will briefly discuss how Descartes, Locke, Husserl, and Nagel, as important and interesting philosophers on this idea, treat the concept of the individual. Though this paper deals with a modern Western concept, it does so in the interest of providing philosophical background to my larger research interest in Muhammad Iqbal's ideas of the individual and the individual's relationship to the community; Iqbal's philosophy asks next, 'what does it mean to be one in a community?' and thereby necessitates this background inquiry.

description: Societal debates about essential occupations in the context of the pandemic have raised questions about the valuation of occupational tasks. In a first step we compare two lists of essential occupations, one from the start, the other from the end of the pandemic, to describe differences in their valuation based on characteristics such as wages, prestige and workload. Between these lists it becomes apparent that there has been a broadening shift, with essential occupations at the end of the pandemic being different to what they were at the beginning. This is based on data from the BIBB/BAuA Employment Survey 2018. We then investigate the use of twitter data for generating insights on how the valuation of occupations were discussed and changed during the pandemic and thus helped leverage said shift in essential occupations.

On-the-fly coarse-graining methodology for the simulation of chain formation of superparamagnetic colloids in strong magnetic fields

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The aim of this work is the description of the chain formation phenomena observed in colloidal suspensions of superparamagnetic nanoparticles under high magnetic fields. We propose a new methodology based on an on-the-fly Coarse-Grain (CG) model. Within this approach, the coarse grain objects of the simulation are not fixed a priori at the beginning of the simulation but rather redefined on the fly. The motion of the CG objects (single particles or aggregates) is described by an anisotropic diffusion model and the magnetic dipole-dipole interaction is replaced by an effective short range interaction between CG objects. The new methodology correctly reproduces previous results from detailed Langevin Dynamics simulations of dispersions of superparamagnetic colloids under strong fields whilst requiring an amount of CPU time orders of magnitude smaller. This substantial improvement in the computational requirements allows the simulation of problems in which the relevant phenomena extends to time scales inaccessible with previous simulation techniques. A relevant example is the waiting time dependence of the relaxation time T_2 of water protons observed in Magnetic Resonance experiments containing dispersions of superparamagnetic colloids, which is correctly predicted by our simulations. Future applications may include other popular real-world applications of superparamagnetic colloids such as the magnetophoretic separation processes.

description: Sustainability is a critical challenge in modern tourism, exacerbated by climate change and globalization. Thanks to digitization, data-driven approaches constitute a key technology for addressing related issues, such as overtourism. However, the overarching complexity of the touristic data landscape, amplified by the interplay of diverse digital platform ecosystems, poses considerable challenges to both data owners and consumers. To mitigate such issues, knowledge graphs (KGs) have received significant attention. KGs focus on data quality by employing unified data models and continuous data refinements, making them well-suited for data-driven applications. Although promising, many challenges must be addressed to make KGs useful in practice. This paper overviews the state of the art of the field and identifies avenues for future research, explicitly focusing on touristic value and sustainability. Following our results, future research should focus on different areas, notably real-time knowledge graph population, distributed and parallelized processes, and ontologies for dynamic data types.
China Is Poorer Than We Thought, But No Less Successful in the Fight Against Poverty
Creators: name: Chen, Shaohua
name: Ravallion, Martin
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2009
Subjects: Economics

description: Our previous estimates of global poverty measures revealed a substantial contraction in the incidence of poverty in China over the period 1981-2004; the latest update in Chen and Ravallion (2007) indicates that the proportion of China's population living below an international poverty line of $1.08/day at 1993 prices fell from 64% in 1981 to 10% in 2004; the number of poor by this measure fell by about 500 million. This international poverty line was converted to local currency using the 1993 Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) rate for China produced from the country-level price surveys done by the International Comparison Program (ICP). The PPP gives the conversion rate for a given currency into a reference currency (the $US) designed to assure parity in terms of purchasing power over commodities. However, these calculations for China rested on an estimate of the country's PPP for 1993 that was not based on a 1993 price survey, but rather was an updated version of an older (1986) PPP for China. China's estimated level of poverty in 2004 was thus rooted in a PPP rate that was almost 20 years old, and even then was not drawn from the ICP. In this light, the new estimates in World Bank (2008) of China's PPP rate for 2005, based on the ICP price survey for that year, are undeniably important new data. The results for China's first participation in the ICP have already attracted considerable attention, as they suggest that China's economy in 2005 is 40 percent smaller than we thought. For example, Keidel (2007) claims that the new PPP for China adds 300 million to the count of that country's poor. Some observers have gone further to claim that the new PPP casts doubt on the extent of China's, and (hence) the world's, progress over time against poverty. All this begs for a more careful scrutiny of China's new PPP and its implications for the extent of poverty in the country and how much progress it has made against poverty. This paper focuses solely on the implications of the new consumption PPP released by World Bank (2008). Our analysis combines the results of the 2005 ICP with a new compilation of national poverty lines for developing countries and tabulations of the distribution of consumption and income in China provided by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), based on their household surveys, and our interviews with staff of NBS.
title: Resource Allocation for Coordinated Multipoint Joint Transmission System and Received Signal Strength Based Positioning in Long Term Evolution Network
Creators: name: Li, Y
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2017

description: The Long-Term Evolution Advanced (LTE-A) system are expected to provide high speed and high quality services, which are supported by emerging technologies such as Coordinated Multipoint (CoMP) transmission and reception. Dynamic resource allocation plays a vital role in LTE-A design and planning, which is investigated in this thesis. In addition, Received Signal Strength (RSS) based positioning is also investigated in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) based wireless networks, which is based on an industry project. In the first contribution, a physical resource blocks (PRB) allocation scheme with fuzzy logic based user selection is proposed. This work considers three parameters and exploit a fuzzy logic (FL) based criterion to categorize users. As a result, it enhances accuracy of user classification. This work improves system capacity by a ranking based PRBs allocation schemes. Simulation results show that proposed fuzzy logic based user selection scheme improves performance for CoMP users. Proposed ranking based greedy allocation algorithm cut complexity in half but maintain same performance. In the second contribution, a two-layer proportional-fair (PF) user scheduling scheme is proposed. This work focused on fairness between CoMP and Non-CoMP users instead of balancing fairness in each user categories. Proposed scheme jointly optimizes fairness and system capacity over both CoMP and Non-CoMP users. Simulation results show that proposed algorithm significantly improves fairness between CoMP and Non-CoMP users. In the last contribution, RSS measurement method in LTE system is analyzed and a realizable RSS measurement method is proposed to fight against multipath effect. Simulation results shows that proposed method significantly reduced measurement error caused by multipath. In RSS based positioning area, this is the first work that consider exploiting LTE’s own signal strength measurement mechanism to enhance accuracy of positioning. Furthermore, the proposed method can be deployed in modern LTE system with limited cost.

description: Multiple parton scatterings in high-energy p+A collisions involve multi-parton correlation inside the projectile and color coherence of multiple jets which will lead to nuclear modification of final hadron spectra relative to that in p+p collisions. Such modification of final hadron spectra in p+A collisions is studied within HIJING 2.1 model which includes initial parton shadowing, transverse momentum broadening, parton flavor and momentum correlation inside the projectile through flavor and momentum conservation and fragmentation of multiple jets. They are shown to modify the partonic flavor content of final jets and momentum spectra of final hadrons in p+A collisions at the Large Hadron Collider.

Mid-crustal Cu-Au mineralisation during episodic pluton emplacement, hydrothermal fluid flow, and ductile deformation at the Minto deposit, YT, Canada
Creators: name: Hood, Shawn Bruce
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: The genesis of the Minto copper-gold deposit, YT, Canada, has been variously interpreted since its discovery although no existing model accounts for ductile deformation as a control on mineralization. Results from this study show that Minto ore is hosted within ductiley deformed granitoid host rocks emplaced as multiple intrusions into an actively deforming environment, with the variably sheared host rocks separated by incipiently deformed granodiorites essentially barren of mineralisation. Contacts between deformed/mineralized rock and incipiently deformed/barren rock range from abrupt to gradational, and are the product of pre-existing igneous contacts, variably partitioned deformation, or a combination of these. Deformation of granitoids is interpreted to have controlled fluid flow, with associated alteration promoting further deformation and fluid flow. Potassic alteration, in the form of biotite-magnetite, is the dominant alteration associated with mineralisation, and analysis of alteration using isocon diagrams indicates that K, Fe, Si, Cu, Au, and Ag have been added during alteration, although mass has been lost overall due to a relative reduction in Na and Ca. Host rock intrusion, mineralization, and deformation are interpreted via geochronology and crosscutting relationships as ongoing over at least 5 m.a., from about 202 Ma until about 197 Ma, based on U-Pb SHRIMP geochronology of zircons in granitoids and Re-Os ICP-MS geochronology of molybdenite. The trend of mineralisation is now coincident with the strike of foliation on short steep limbs and of axial planes of folded foliation. This geometry may not be representative of original processes, but of remobilization of ore during continued deformation. The above observations, coupled with data from existing studies, strongly suggest Minto is representative of deposit generation within an arc subduction environment at depths not typically considered for copper-gold deposit formation.

description: Philosophy is a sick enterprise—disabled and won’t admit it. The author, in a long pursuit of developing a Fearlessness Philosophy, takes another approach in parallel here in his critique of “Philosophy” itself as a conceptualization and in particular as a discipline and methodology of knowledge. He primarily takes a Freudian critique of Civilization and Maslowian critique of Science, then his own version of that critique and applies it to Psychology, and then finally to Philosophy. This large project, in progress, is to assert that Philosophy has not yet broken free of the bondage and carnage of its legacy as a phenomenon of philosophical disability. He argues, this is the case because it has not understood the Fear Problematique and ‘Fear’ Matrix that all philosophy has been virtually embedded in without admitting it has been. That fear-based denial is its main disability. He offers briefly his approach to re-awakening to this disability in philosophy and ways to turn a corner and adopt and develop a Fearlessness Philosophy.

description: Kidney podocytes’ function depends on fingerlike projections (foot processes) that interdigitate with those from neighboring cells to form the glomerular filtration barrier. The integrity of the barrier depends on spatial control of dynamics of actin cytoskeleton in the foot processes. We determined how imbalances in regulation of actin cytoskeletal dynamics could result in pathological morphology. We obtained 3-D electron microscopy images of podocytes and used quantitative features to build dynamical models to investigate how regulation of actin dynamics within foot processes controls local morphology. We find that imbalances in regulation of actin bundling lead to chaotic spatial patterns that could impair the foot process morphology. Simulation results are consistent with experimental observations for cytoskeletal reconfiguration through dysregulated RhoA or Rac1, and they predict compensatory mechanisms for biochemical stability. We conclude that podocyte morphology, optimized for filtration, is intrinsically fragile, whereby local transient biochemical imbalances may lead to permanent morphological changes associated with pathophysiology.

We find tunneling conductance curves with a finite value at the Fermi level. The density of states is V shaped at low energies, and the quasiparticle peaks are located at values close to the expected superconducting gap from weak coupling BCS theory. Our results point to rather opened gap structures and gap nodes on the Fermi surface.

The Second Amendment Right to Redefine the Meaning of the Constitution

Gun control

description: With more than 200-250 million privately-owned guns in circulation, the United States has more privately own guns than any other country. Not incidentally, they also have an inordinately high number of gun-related deaths and injuries – in a given day, an average of 276 people are shot. Of those shot, 84 will die as a result of their wounds. Since 1982, 62 mass murders have been committed via firearms, and over 75% of the 142 guns used in those 62 mass murders were obtained legally. The necessity for more stringent gun laws is at an all-time high. In the course of writing this paper, another mass shooting occurred wherein at least 28 people, many of whom were not yet it their first ten years of life and all of whom were shot multiple times, were killed at an elementary school in Connecticut. Despite this pressing need to control the violence, the Supreme Court, in the 5-4 decision District of Columbia v. Heller (2008), struck down an ordinance restricting the ownership of handguns within the District of Columbia. The Supreme Court’s ruling in Heller, codifying an individual’s fundamental right to own a gun for the purpose of self-defense through a peculiar interpretation of the meaning of the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, and in McDonald v. City of Chicago, incorporating Heller’s newly-determined Second Amendment Right through the Fourteenth Amendment to apply and “to some extent limit the legislative freedom of the States” display an appalling level of indifference to the “general welfare” and to the meaning of the Constitution that they are supposed to be expounding. These decisions curtailed the hotly contested debate surrounding Gun Control in the United States, giving a Constitutional justification to the proponents of one side. Instead of exercising judicial restraint concerning issues of national discourse or properly interpreting the Constitution, they ruled in accordance with their own agenda to give a Constitutional foundation to one side of a hotly contested social issue.

description: The centuries-long history of the Ottoman Empire has been and somehow still is considered by non-Ottoman historians from a teleological approach. So challenging is the idea that the Middle East has been ruled by an independent, hegemonic State, that the European – or, better to say, Eurocentric – culture and mentality need to keep celebrating its actual historical decay and ultimate end. The institutional experience of the Ottoman Empire still happens to be either abused or sentenced to a damnation memoriae. This is particularly true in those countries that are directly caught up in the Ottoman memory. These nations, such as Turkey, Italy, Greece, Bulgaria and other Balkan countries, also happen to host the most extensive Ottoman archives in the world. As far as Italian historiography is concerned, Ottoman documents are seldom directly examined, even when dealing with the ever-fashionable topics of Mediterranean history.

description: The Dirichlet--Hardy space $\Ht$ consists of those Dirichlet series $\sum_n a_n n^{-s}$ for which $\sum_n |a_n|^21/2$ is a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a nontrivial function $f$ in $\Ht$ vanishing on a given bounded sequence. The proof implies in fact a stronger result: every function in the Hardy space $H^2$ of the half-plane $\operatorname{Re} s>1/2$ can be interpolated by a function in $\Ht$ on such a Blaschke sequence. Analogous results are proved for the Hilbert space $\Da$ of Dirichlet series $\sum_n a_n n^{-s}$ for which $\sum_n |a_n|^2[d(n)]^α1/2$. Partial results are then obtained for the zeros of functions in $\Hp$ ($L^p$ analogues of $\Ht$) for $2

description: We use data from Indian manufacturing to describe the distribution of firm size in terms of employment and discuss implications for public policy, especially labor regulations. A unique feature of our analysis is the use of nationally representative establishment-level data from both the registered (formal) and unregistered (informal) segments of the Indian manufacturing sector. While we find there to be little difference in the size distribution of firms across states believed to have flexible labor regulations versus those with inflexible labor regulations, restricting attention to labor-intensive industries changes the picture dramatically. Here, we find greater prevalence of larger sized firms in states with flexible labor regulations. Moreover, this differential prevalence is higher among firms that commenced production after 1982, when a key aspect of Indian labor regulations was tightened. Overall, our findings are consistent with the argument that labor regulations have affected firm size adversely.

description: The consortium NFDI4DS supports researchers along all stages of the research data lifecycle to conduct their research in line with the FAIR principles. By conducting interviews and surveys, NFDI4DS continuously identifies the needs and challenges of researchers from various disciplines regarding data science and artificial intelligence, keeping ethical, legal, and social aspects in mind. Those identified needs and challenges are continuously addressed by picking up existing services, developing new ones and integrating them into the NFDI4DS infrastructure. By systematically adding digital objects (articles, data, machine learning models, workflows, scripts/code, etc.) to the NFDI4DS research knowledge graph within the infrastructure, transparency, reproducibility, and fairness are steadily improved. The process is continuously accompanied by providing resources such as educational videos and organizing events such as community challenges. In this short paper, we give an overview of NFDI4DS, and provide details about our approach to address the current challenges. We will report on how we plan to utilize FAIR digital objects (FDOs) and Research Knowledge Graphs (RKGs) as a basis for the infrastructure envisioned. We will also give an overview of the services planned, and how they are meant to interact.

description: Geological map communicate efficiently geological information. Old geological maps were stored as paper maps and thus need to be digitized when integrating them into digital geographic information systems. Metadata is required to find relevant maps fast. However, metadata is usually created manually with a lot of effort. We present work in progress for a semi-automated approach for extracting metadata from maps. The results show that it lowers the manual effort significantly to extract the location and improves at least the experience of the manual annotation with respect to date metadata.

Hurricane Katrina (2005)

description: When Hurricane Katrina made landfall in August 2005, between 70,000 and 100,000 residents of New Orleans either did not or could not comply with the order that had been issued to evacuate. The events surrounding Katrina raised critical legal and ethical questions about the use of mandatory evacuation orders. We discuss four key ethical issues that must be confronted when considering whether to issue an order of mandatory evacuation: the costs of precautionary action in the face of uncertainty, the duty to provide for people, paternalism and the preemption of individual choice, the acceptability of compulsory measures.

description: Population dynamics of individuals undergoing birth and death and diffusing by short or long ranged twodimensional spatial excursions (Gaussian jumps or Lévy flights) is studied. Competitive interactions are considered in a global case, in which birth and death rates are influenced by all individuals in the system, and in a nonlocal but finite-range case in which interaction affects individuals in a neighborhood (we also address the noninteracting case). In the global case one single or few-cluster configurations are achieved with the spatial distribution of the bugs tied to the type of diffusion. In the Lévy case long tails appear for some properties characterizing the shape and dynamics of clusters. Under non-local finite-range interactions periodic patterns appear with periodicity set by the interaction range. This length acts as a cut-off limiting the influence of the long Lévy jumps, so that spatial configurations under the two types of diffusion become more similar. By dividing initially everyone into different families and following their descent it is possible to show that mixing of families and their competition is greatly influenced by the spatial dynamics.

A field cell and humidity cell study of metal attenuation in neutral rock drainage from the Antamina Mine, Peru
Creators: name: Hirsche, Dustin Trevor
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: This work focuses on the attenuation of Mo and Zn in neutral pH drainage from waste rock at the Antamina mine in Peru. The study was designed to test the hypothesis that Mo or Zn containing leachate from one waste rock type can be attenuated when allowed to contact a different waste rock type. Mixed material stacked field cells and humidity cells connected in series, where leachate from a Mo or Zn - releasing waste rock type flowed through a second waste rock material type, were used to test this hypothesis. Both of these were new methods, which had not before been reported in the peer reviewed scientific literature related to the study of waste rock geochemistry. Results from both the humidity cells (laboratory conditions) and field cells (field conditions) showed the same general attenuation patterns. When drainage from Mo-releasing waste rock flowed through Pb-rich black marble waste rock, Mo was removed from solution. Mo attenuation was not observed when the order of the waste rock materials was reversed such that drainage from Pb-rich material flowed through Mo-releasing intrusive rock. As, also released from the same Mo-releasing intrusive rock, showed the same attenuation pattern as Mo. Geochemical modeling suggested that wulfenite precipitation was responsible for the observed attenuation of Mo. Zn was removed from leachate both by contact with Mo-releasing intrusive rock and by contact with calcite-rich grey hornfels material. Like Zn, Cd was removed from solution by contact with calcite-rich grey hornfels. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) suggested that Zn may have been incorporated into the crystal structure of phyllosillicate clay minerals; however, further work is needed to confirm this mechanism. Insufficient data were available to develop a hypothesis as to the specific attenuation mechanisms responsible for removing Cd and As from solution. In addition to shedding light on the geochemical processes controlling Mo and Zn in neutral mine drainage, this research also demonstrated the effectiveness of stacked field cells and humidity cells connected in series for the study of metal attenuation by waste rock mixing.

description: The growing interest in AI services has led to a higher demand for computing power to train and execute complex AI models, causing a surge in power consumption in data centers. Together with rising costs for electricity, gas, petroleum, and coal, and the national target for climate neutrality of data centers by 2027, the ability to operate data centers economically is threatened in Germany. To address these issues, a pressing need to improve the sustainability of data centers and that of artificial intelligence. This paper proposes a roadmap to develop sustainable and resource-efficient data centers and AI systems. The roadmap includes four key building blocks: sustainable data centers, AI algorithms, AI sustainability framework, and economic efficiency analysis. Each building block poses pivotal research questions grounded in contemporary literature to guide the pursuit of environmental sustainability in data centers and AI.

description: Rhizosphere-competent microbes can prime host plants for fast response against pathogen attack. Combined action of fungi and bacteria may lead to synergism exceeding effect of single strains. Roots of two different rapeseed cultivars were inoculated with Trichoderma harzianum OMG16 and Bacillus velezensis FZB42 individually or in combination. Microscopic analysis confirmed that OMG16 hyphae entered root hairs and formed intracellular structure. qPCR revealed that root colonization of OMG16 increased up to 10-fold in presence of FZB42. Effects of synergism on developing root growth were also analysed. PDF1.2, ERF2 and AOC3 expression enduced more efficiently in combined inoculation. Microbial priming reduced Verticillium longisporum 43 infection by approximately 100-fold compared with non-primed plants. Systemic induction of LOX2, AOC3, OPR3, ACS2, ACO4, ERF2, PDF1.2, VSP2, ICS1 and PR1 were analysed by qRT-PCR. Endogenous amounts of JA and SA were increased in Vl43 infected primed plants as quantified with UHPLC-MS.
description: Nützliche Bodenmikroben können Wirtspflanzen auf schnelle Reaktionen gegen Krankheitserreger vorbereiten. Die kombinierte Wirkung von Pilzen und Bakterien kann zu Synergismen führen. Wurzeln zweier Rapssorten wurden einzeln oder in Kombination mit Trichoderma harzianum OMG16 und Bacillus velezensis FZB42 beimpft. Mikroskopie bestätigte, dass OMG16-Hyphen in die Wurzelhaare eindrangen und intrazelluläre Strukturen bildeten. qPCR ergab, dass die Wurzelbesiedlung von OMG16 in Gegenwart von FZB42 um das Zehnfache zunahm. Die PDF1.2-, ERF2- und AOC3-Gen-Expression wurde bei kombinierter Inokulation effizienter induziert. Die Mikroben reduzierten die Infektion mit Verticillium longisporum 43 im Vergleich zu nicht vorbehandelten Pflanzen um etwa das Hundertfache. Die systemische Gen-Induktion von LOX2, AOC3, OPR3, ACS2, ACO4, ERF2, PDF1.2, VSP2, ICS1 und PR1 wurde mittels qRT-PCR analysiert. UHPLC-MS zeigte erhöhte Mengen der JA und SA Hormone in vorbehandelten mit Vl43 infizierten Pflanzen.

Subjects: Middle Eastern literature

description: Wedding in Galilee (1987) and Season of Migration to the North (1966) exemplify the use of geography and sexuality as aesthetic expressions of political conditions. In order to imagine new politics—in this case, in Sudan and Palestine—one must be in between the remembered past and the imagined future. In this film and novel, geography and sexuality are used to explore what it is like to be-in-between, and thereby they help show the process of imagining new politics. In other words, geography and sexuality comment on the process of political remembering and imagining in each work through the theme of liminality.
