description: We investigate the molecular gas properties of galaxies across the main sequence of star-forming (SF) galaxies in the local Universe using $^{12}$CO($J=1-0$) (hereafter $^{12}$CO) and $^{13}$CO($J=1-0$) ($^{13}$CO) mapping data of 147 nearby galaxies obtained in the COMING project, a legacy project of the Nobeyama Radio Observatory. In order to improve signal-to-noise ratios of both lines, we stack all the pixels where $^{12}$CO emission is detected after aligning the line center expected from the first-moment map of $^{12}$CO. As a result, $^{13}$CO emission is successfully detected in 80 galaxies with a signal-to-noise ratio larger than three. The error-weighted mean of integrated-intensity ratio of $^{12}$CO to $^{13}$CO lines ($R_{1213}$) of the 80 galaxies is $10.9$ with a standard deviation of $7.0$. We find that (1) $R_{1213}$ positively correlates to specific star-formation rate (sSFR) with a correlation coefficient of $0.46$, and (2) both flux ratio of IRAS 60~$μ$m to 100~$μ$m ($f_{60}/f_{100}$) and inclination-corrected linewidth of $^{12}$CO stacked spectra ($σ_{{\rm ^{12}CO},i}$) also correlate with sSFR for galaxies with the $R_{1213}$ measurement. Our results support the scenario where $R_{1213}$ variation is mainly caused by the changes in molecular-gas properties such as temperature and turbulence. The consequent variation of CO-to-H$_2$ conversion factor across the SF main sequence is not large enough to completely extinguish the known correlations between sSFR and $M_{\rm mol}/M_{\rm star}$ ($μ_{\rm mol}$) or star-formation efficiency (SFE) reported in previous studies, while this variation would strengthen (weaken) the sSFR-SFE (sSFR-$μ_{\rm mol}$) correlation.

description: We investigate and quantify the interplay between topology and ability to send specific signals in complex networks. We find that in a majority of investigated real-world networks the ability to communicate is favored by the network topology on small distances, but disfavored at larger distances. We further discuss how the ability to locate specific nodes can be improved if information associated to the overall traffic in the network is available.

description: Magnetization, specific heat, and electrical resistivity measurements were made on single crystals of the filled skutterudite compound PrOs$_{4}$As$_{12}$. Specific heat measurements indicate an electronic specific heat coefficient $γ$ $\sim 50-200$ mJ/mol K$^{2}$ at temperatures 10 K $\leq T \leq 18$ K, and $\sim 1$ J/mol K$^{2}$ for $T \leq 1.6$ K. Magnetization, specific heat, and electrical resistivity measurements reveal the presence of two, or possibly three, ordered phases at temperatures below $\sim 2.3$ K and in fields below $\sim 3$ T. The low temperature phase displays antiferromagnetic characteristics, while the nature of the ordering in the other phase(s) has yet to be determined.

description: We report on the BeppoSAX data analysis of the afterglow of Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) 990123, one of the brightest GRBs detected by BeppoSAX. Mainly due to its exceptional brightness, this is the only source for which the Wide Field Cameras have allowed an early detection of the X-ray afterglow between about 20 and 60 min after the GRB trigger. Besides, again for the first time, high-energy emission from the afterglow was detected up to 60 keV. For the X-ray afterglow we found a power-law decay with index alpha = 1.46 +/- 0.04; the spectrum has a power-law shape with photon index Gamma about 1.9. The backward extrapolation of the afterglow decay smoothly reconnects with the late GRB emission, thus suggesting that both emissions are produced by the same phenomenon. An extensive set of multiwavelength observations for the GRB 990123 afterglow made during the BeppoSAX pointing was collected from the literature. The hard X-ray to radio range coverage allowed to construct a spectral flux distribution and to perform an analysis of the GRB afterglow in the context of the "fireball" model. We also report the results of temporal and spectral analysis of an X-ray source serendipitously observed about 22 arcmin north of the GRB afterglow, along with the optical spectroscopy of its possible counterpart to establish the nature of this source.

description: The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope (Roman) will perform a Galactic Exoplanet Survey (RGES) to discover bound exoplanets with semi-major axes greater than 1 au using gravitational microlensing. Roman will even be sensitive to planetary mass objects that are not gravitationally bound to any host star. Such free-floating planetary mass objects (FFPs) will be detected as isolated microlensing events with timescales shorter than a few days. A measurement of the abundance and mass function of FFPs is a powerful diagnostic of the formation and evolution of planetary systems, as well as the physics of the formation of isolated objects via direct collapse. We show that Roman will be sensitive to FFP lenses that have masses from that of Mars ($0.1 M_\oplus$) to gas giants ($M\gtrsim100M_\oplus$) as isolated lensing events with timescales from a few hours to several tens of days, respectively. We investigate the impact of the detection criteria on the survey, especially in the presence of finite-source effects for low-mass lenses. The number of detections will depend on the abundance of such FFPs as a function of mass, which is at present poorly constrained. Assuming that FFPs follow the fiducial mass function of cold, bound planets adapted from Cassan et al. (2012), we estimate that Roman will detect $\sim250$ FFPs with masses down to that of Mars (including $\sim 60$ with masses $\le M_\oplus$). We also predict that Roman will improve the upper limits on FFP populations by at least an order of magnitude compared to currently-existing constraints.

description: Unlike their Hermitian counterparts, non-Hermitian (NH) systems may display an exponential sensitivity to boundary conditions and an extensive number of edge-localized states in systems with open boundaries, a phenomena dubbed the "non-Hermitian skin effect." The NH skin effect is one of the primary challenges to defining a topological theory of NH Hamiltonians, as the sensitivity to boundary conditions invalidates the traditional bulk-boundary correspondence. The NH skin effect has recently been connected to the winding number, a topological invariant unique to NH systems. In this paper, we extend the definition of the winding number to disordered NH systems by generalizing established results on disordered Hermitian topological insulators. Our real-space winding number is self-averaging, continuous as a function of the parameters in the problem, and remains quantized even in the presence of strong disorder. We verify that our real-space formula still predicts the NH skin effect, allowing for the possibility of predicting and observing the NH skin effect in strongly disordered NH systems. As an application we apply our results to predict a NH Anderson skin effect where a skin effect is developed as disorder is added to a clean system, and to explain recent results in optical funnels.

Measured descent: A new embedding method for finite metrics

description: We devise a new embedding technique, which we call measured descent, based on decomposing a metric space locally, at varying speeds, according to the density of some probability measure. This provides a refined and unified framework for the two primary methods of constructing Frechet embeddings for finite metrics, due to [Bourgain, 1985] and [Rao, 1999]. We prove that any n-point metric space (X,d) embeds in Hilbert space with distortion O(sqrt{alpha_X log n}), where alpha_X is a geometric estimate on the decomposability of X. As an immediate corollary, we obtain an O(sqrt{(log lambda_X) \log n}) distortion embedding, where λ_X is the doubling constant of X. Since λ_X\le n, this result recovers Bourgain's theorem, but when the metric X is, in a sense, ``low-dimensional,'' improved bounds are achieved. Our embeddings are volume-respecting for subsets of arbitrary size. One consequence is the existence of (k, O(log n)) volume-respecting embeddings for all 1 \leq k \leq n, which is the best possible, and answers positively a question posed by U. Feige. Our techniques are also used to answer positively a question of Y. Rabinovich, showing that any weighted n-point planar graph embeds in l_\infty^{O(log n)} with O(1) distortion. The O(log n) bound on the dimension is optimal, and improves upon the previously known bound of O((log n)^2).

description: We introduce a quantitative measure of network bipartivity as a proportion of even to total number of closed walks in the network. Spectral graph theory is used to quantify how close to bipartite a network is and the extent to which individual nodes and edges contribute to the global network bipartivity. It is shown that the bipartivity characterizes the network structure and can be related to the efficiency of semantic or communication networks, trophic interactions in food webs, construction principles in metabolic networks, or communities in social networks.

description: The ability of Minkowski Functionals to characterize local structure in different biological tissue types has been demonstrated in a variety of medical image processing tasks. We introduce anisotropic Minkowski Functionals (AMFs) as a novel variant that captures the inherent anisotropy of the underlying gray-level structures. To quantify the anisotropy characterized by our approach, we further introduce a method to compute a quantitative measure motivated by a technique utilized in MR diffusion tensor imaging, namely fractional anisotropy. We showcase the applicability of our method in the research context of characterizing the local structure properties of trabecular bone micro-architecture in the proximal femur as visualized on multi-detector CT. To this end, AMFs were computed locally for each pixel of ROIs extracted from the head, neck and trochanter regions. Fractional anisotropy was then used to quantify the local anisotropy of the trabecular structures found in these ROIs and to compare its distribution in different anatomical regions. Our results suggest a significantly greater concentration of anisotropic trabecular structures in the head and neck regions when compared to the trochanter region (p < 10-4). We also evaluated the ability of such AMFs to predict bone strength in the femoral head of proximal femur specimens obtained from 50 donors. Our results suggest that such AMFs, when used in conjunction with multi-regression models, can outperform more conventional features such as BMD in predicting failure load. We conclude that such anisotropic Minkowski Functionals can capture valuable information regarding directional attributes of local structure, which may be useful in a wide scope of biomedical imaging applications.

description: We give a framework to describe gauge theory on a certain class of commutative but non-associative fuzzy spaces. Our description is in terms of an Abelian gauge connection valued in the algebra of functions on the cotangent bundle of the fuzzy space. The structure of such a gauge theory has many formal similarities with that of Yang-Mills theory. The components of the gauge connection are functions on the fuzzy space which transform in higher spin representations of the Lorentz group. In component form, the gauge theory describes an interacting theory of higher spin fields, which remains non-trivial in the limit where the fuzzy space becomes associative. In this limit, the theory can be viewed as a projection of an ordinary non-commutative Yang-Mills theory. We describe the embedding of Maxwell theory in this extended framework which follows the standard unfolding procedure for higher spin gauge theories.

description: The precise characteristics of clouds and the nature of dust in the diffuse interstellar medium can only be extracted by inspecting the rare cases of single-cloud sightlines. In our nomenclature such objects are identified by interstellar lines, such as K I, that show at a resolving power of $λ/Δλ\sim 75,000$ one dominating Doppler component that accounts for more than half of the observed column density. We searched for such sightlines using high-resolution spectroscopy towards reddened OB stars for which far-UV extinction curves are known. We compiled a sample of 186 spectra, 100 of which were obtained specifically for this project with UVES. In our sample we identified 65 single-cloud sightlines, about half of which were previously unknown. We used the CH/CH$^+$ line ratio of our targets to establish whether the sightlines are dominated by warm or cold clouds. We found that CN is detected in all cold (CH/CH$^+ >1$) clouds, but is frequently absent in warm clouds. We inspected the WISE ($3-22\, μ$m) observed emission morphology around our sightlines and excluded a circumstellar nature for the observed dust extinction. We found that most sightlines are dominated by cold clouds that are located far away from the heating source. For 132 stars, we derived the spectral type and the associated spectral type-luminosity distance. We also applied the interstellar Ca II distance scale, and compared these two distance estimates with GAIA parallaxes. These distance estimates scatter by 40%. By comparing spectral type-luminosity distances with those of GAIA, we detected a hidden dust component that amounts to a few mag of extinction for eight sightlines. This Dark Dust is populated by $\ge 1 μ$m large grains and predominately appears in the field of the cold interstellar medium.

Colour-colour and colour-magnitude diagrams are constructed and used to determine the sources with infrared excess. These are interpreted as circumstellar disks, and enable the fraction of sources with disks (the cluster disk fraction or CDF) to be determined. We find that ~42% of the sources detected at L-band in 30 Doradus have an IR-excess.

description: The intergalactic neutral hydrogen which is responsible for the Lyman alpha forest of quasar absorption is a tracer of much larger amounts of ionised hydrogen. The ionised component has yet to be detected directly, but is expected to scatter CMB photons via the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect. We use hydrodynamic simulations of a LambdaCDM universe to create mock quasar spectra and CMB sky maps. We find that the high-z Lya forest gas causes temperature fluctuations of the order of 1 muK rms in the CMB on arcmin scales. The kinetic and thermal SZ effects have a similar magnitude at z=3, with the thermal effect becoming relatively weaker as expected at higher z. The CMB signal associated with lines of sight having HI column densities > 10^18 cm^-2 is only marginally stronger than that for lower column densities. The strong dependence of rms temperature fluctuation on mean Lya absorbed flux, however, suggests that the CMB signal effectively arises in lower density material. We investigate the use of the cross-correlation of the Lya forest and the microwave background to detect the SZ effect at redshifts 2-4. In so doing we are able to set direct limits on the density of diffuse ionised intergalactic baryons. We carry out a preliminary comparison at a mean redshift z=3 of 3488 quasar spectra from SDSS Data Release 3 and the WMAP first year data. Assuming that the baryons are clustered as in a LambdaCDM cosmology, and have the same mean temperature, the cross-correlation yields a weak limit on the cosmic density of ionised baryons Omega_(b,I), which is Omega_(b,I) < 0.8 at 95% confidence. With data from upcoming CMB telescopes, we anticipate that a direct detection of the high redshift ionised IGM will soon be possible, providing an important consistency check on cosmological models.

Numerical modeling of three-dimensional light wood-framed buildings
Creators: name: He, Ming
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis describes the development of numerical models for predicting the performance of three-dimensional light wood-framed buildings under static loading conditions and subjected to dynamic excitations. The models have been implemented into a package of nonlinear finite element programs. They satisfy the general requirements in the study of the structural behaviour of commonly applied light-frame construction. The models also deal with building configurations and loading conditions in a versatile manner. The application of these programs, therefore, can provide solutions to a wide range of investigations into the performance of wood light-frame buildings. These investigations may include the analyses of an entire three-dimensional light-frame building, an individual structural component, and a single connection containing one to several nails with varied material and structural components and combined loading conditions. These buildings and components can have irregular plan layouts, varied framing and sheathing configurations, and different nail spacings with or without openings. The models were verified and tested on theoretical and experimental grounds. Theories of mechanics were applied to examine the models and related algorithms, while experimental results were used to validate the finite element programs and to calibrate the basic parameters required by the models. Besides the test data from previous shear wall studies, three-dimensional building tests were conducted to provide the data required in the model verification. In the experimental planning phase, the programs were intensively employed to help select the correct configurations of the test specimens. The experimental session contained four tests of a three-dimensional wood-framed structure: two static tests and two earthquake tests. These tests provided extensive information on the overall load-deformation characteristics, dynamic behaviour, torsional deformation, influence of dead load, overturning movement, failure modes, natural frequencies, and corresponding mode shapes of the test systems. The predicted behaviour of the test specimens by the programs is in good agreement with test results. This indicates that the programs are well suited for the investigation of the general behaviour of wood lightframe systems and for the study of load sharing and torsional effects on three-dimensional buildings due to structural and material asymmetries.

description: Recent literature has combined Revealed (RP) and Stated Preference (SP) data in the Multinomial Logit Model (MNL) to estimate the value of environmental goods. However, emerging research has identified that a limitation of the MNL is the assumption of Independently and Identically Distributed (IID) errors, resulting in inaccurate model predictions and inconsistent utility parameters. Our analysis applies an alternative method to combine RP and SP data that takes into account the heterogeneity in both the observable and unobservable components of utility. This allows us to test whether such heterogeneity has an important effect on predicting behavioral choices.

description: Country elevators competed chiefly through increased efficiency in grain handling and transportation. The development by the railroads of more favorable rates for multi-car shipments (unit train) has led grain cooperatives and other agribusiness firms to invest in high speed rail load out facilities. In this study the feasibility of an investment in a unit-train load out facility is analyzed. The impact of grain through put volume, unit rate transportation savings, discount rates, and grain-cleaning costs is also determined.

Bending Instability of Stellar Disks: The Stabilizing Effect of a Compact Bulge
Creators: name: Sotnikova, N. Ya.
name: Rodionov, S. A.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The saturation conditions for bending modes in inhomogeneous thin stellar disks that follow from an analysis of the dispersion relation are compared with those derived from $N$-body simulations. In the central regions of inhomogeneous disks, the reserve of disk strength against the growth of bending instability is smaller than that for a homogeneous layer. The spheroidal component (a dark halo, a bulge) is shown to have a stabilizing effect. The latter turns out to depend not only on the total mass of the spherical component, but also on the degree of mass concentration toward the center. We conclude that the presence of a compact (not necessarily massive) bulge in spiral galaxies may prove to be enough to suppress the bending perturbations that increase the disk thickness. This conclusion is corroborated by our $N$-body simulations in which we simulated the evolution of almost equilibrium, but unstable finite-thickness disks in the presence of spheroidal components. The final disk thickness at the same total mass of the spherical component (dark halo + bulge) has been found to be much smaller than that in the simulations where a concentrated bulge is present.

description: Aims: The primary motivation for this project is to search for metal-rich star forming regions, in which, stars of super-solar metallicity will be created, as hopefully, will be extra-solar planets orbiting them ! Results: We find (pre-main sequence) model-dependent isochronal ages of the Lupus, Chamaeleon and CrA targets to be $9.1 \pm 2.1$ Myr, $4.5 \pm 1.6$ Myr and $9.0 \pm 3.9$ Myr respectively. The majority of the stars have Li I 6707.8A equivalent widths similar to, or above those of, their similar mass Pleiades counterparts, confirming their youthfulness. Most stars are kinematic members, either single or binary, of their regions. We find a mean radial velocity for objects in the Lupus cloud to be ${\bar {RV}}=+2.6 \pm 1.8$ km s$^{-1}$, for the Chamaeleon I & II clouds, ${\bar {RV}}=+12.8 \pm 3.6$ km s$^{-1}$ whereas for the CrA cloud, we find ${\bar {RV}}=-1.1 \pm 0.5$ km s$^{-1}$. All stars are coronally and chromospherically active, exhibiting X-ray and H$α$ emission levels marginally less, approximately equal or superior to that of their older IC 2602/2391 and/or Pleiades counterparts. All bar three of the targets show little or no signature of accretion from a circumstellar environment, according to their positions in a J$-$K/H$-$K$^{'}$ diagram. We have performed a metallicity analysis for 5 stars in Chamaeleon, 4 stars in Lupus and 3 stars in the CrA star forming regions. These results show that all three regions are slightly metal-poor, with marginally sub-solar metallicities, with $ = -0.11 \pm 0.14$, $-0.10 \pm 0.04$ & $-0.04 \pm 0.05$ respectively.

Automatic Fine-Tuning in the 2-Flavor Schwinger Model
Creators: name: Georgi, Howard
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: I discuss the 2-flavor Schwinger model both without and with fermion masses. I argue that the concept of "conformal coalescence," in unparticle physics in which linear combinations of short distance operators can disappear from the long-distance theory, makes it easy to understand some puzzling features of the model with small fermion masses. In particular, I argue that for an average fermion mass $m_f$ and a mass difference $δm$, so long as both are small compared to the dynamical gauge boson mass $m=e\sqrt{2/π}$, isospin breaking effects in the low energy theory are exponentially suppressed by powers of $\exp\Bigl(-(m/m_f)^{2/3}\Bigr)$ even if $δm\approx m_f$! In the low energy theory, this looks like exponential fine-tuning, but it is done automatically by conformal coalescence.

description: This paper reports the latest results from a millimeter-wave (CO) spectroscopic survey of IRAS-detected radio galaxies with L_1.4GHz ~ 10^23-28 W/Hz in the redshift range z ~ 0.02-0.15. The IRAS flux-limited sample contains 33 radio galaxies with different radio morphologies and a broad range of infrared luminosities L_IR = 10^9-12 L_sun), allowing for an investigation of (a) whether low-z radio-selected AGN reside in molecular gas-rich host galaxes, and (b) whether the CO properties are correlated with the properties of the host galaxy or the AGN. All of the radio galaxies in Mazzarella et al. (1993) and Mirabel et al. (1989) have been reobserved. Three new CO detections have been made, raising the total number of CO detections to nine and setting the survey detection rate at ~ 25%. Many of the CO lines have double-peaked profiles, and the CO line widths are broad (average Delta v_FWHM ~ 500+/-130 km/s), exceeding the average CO widths of both ultraluminous infrared galaxies (300+/-90 km/s) and Palomar-Green QSOs (260+/-160 km/s), and thus being indicative of massive host galaxies. The CO luminosities translate into molecular gas masses of ~ 0.4-7x10^9 M_sun, however, the 3-sigma CO upper limits for nondetections do not rule out a molecular gas mass as high as that of the Milky Way (~ 3x10^9 M_sun). Optical images of eight out of nine molecular gas-rich radio galaxies show evidence of close companions and/or tidal features. Finally, there is no obvious correlation between radio power and molecular gas mass. However, it is notable that only one F-R II galaxy out of 12 is detected in this CO survey; the remaining detections are of galaxies hosting F-R I and compact radio jets.

description: Target-MOTAD was used to determine the optimal crop insurance options for two representative cotton and peanut farms in southern Alabama. Results showed that, for one of the farms, no crop insurance option was risk reducing given the yield history. For the other farm, risk reduction involved shifting to higher levels of insurance coverage.

description: Drawing an analogy with automatic image completion systems, we propose Music SketchNet, a neural network framework that allows users to specify partial musical ideas guiding automatic music generation. We focus on generating the missing measures in incomplete monophonic musical pieces, conditioned on surrounding context, and optionally guided by user-specified pitch and rhythm snippets. First, we introduce SketchVAE, a novel variational autoencoder that explicitly factorizes rhythm and pitch contour to form the basis of our proposed model. Then we introduce two discriminative architectures, SketchInpainter and SketchConnector, that in conjunction perform the guided music completion, filling in representations for the missing measures conditioned on surrounding context and user-specified snippets. We evaluate SketchNet on a standard dataset of Irish folk music and compare with models from recent works. When used for music completion, our approach outperforms the state-of-the-art both in terms of objective metrics and subjective listening tests. Finally, we demonstrate that our model can successfully incorporate user-specified snippets during the generation process.

"We must return to the voice" : oral values and traditions in the works of Oscar Wilde
Creators: name: Kinsella, Paul
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This study examines the literary career of Oscar Wilde as the formation and expression of a sensibility exhibiting highly developed powers of both orality and literacy. In other words, Wilde's work and life reveal the mind of both a talented writer and a talker par excellence, and this inquiry explores the development and co-existence of the two modes, in particular as they manifest themselves in Wilde's writing and in his relations with the societies in which he found himself. Chapter One discusses the balance between Wilde's talk and his writing as it was experienced by W. B . Yeats, who emerges as a very persistent and perceptive biographer of this aspect of Wilde's genius. The theoretical framework and terminology developed by Walter J. Ong (1982) is also brought to bear on the discussion as a further illumination of Yeats's accounts. Chapter Two presents an outline of some aspects of the history and culture of Ireland which might explain the formation of a dual sensibility such as Wilde's. In Chapter Three this line of inquiry is extended further into the domestic circumstances in which Wilde grew up, focussing in particular on the influence of his tutor at Trinity, J. P. Mahaffy. A discussion of the links between Wilde and Mahaffy includes consideration of the parallels between their written works, culminating in an interpretation, at the end of the chapter, of the origins and dynamics o f Wilde's essay "The Decay of Lying." Chapter Four continues to explore the links between Mahaffy and Wilde, but shifts the focus to their mutual classicism, which also provides a lens through which to view the further development of Wilde's dual oral/chirographic sensibility at Oxford, symbolized in the person and the work of Walter Pater. I then offer a reading of "The Critic as Artist" as an expression of Wilde's Oxford literary idealism, expressed through his call to "return to the voice." From there this study moves to a discussion of Wilde's subsequent life and work in terms o f a combined orality and literacy. Chapter Five is devoted to an exploration o f the power of the voice and the spoken word in The Picture of Dorian Gray, and Chapter Six examines the spoken stories, Salome, and The Importance of Being Earnest through a similar perspective. The Conclusion extends the analysis to Wilde's trial and prison sentence, his last works including De Profundis, and his final years as a storyteller in Paris.

description: An alternative unconstrained expected-utility maximization model of farm debt is developed using the location-scale parameter condition that incorporates the empirically validated hypotheses of decreasing absolute and constant relative risk aversion. Simulation-optimization results based on the old and new model versions provide interesting implications for various levels of risk aversion and initial equity investments.
