Critical analysis of the luminosity functions per galaxy type measured from redshift surveys

description: [ABRIDGED] I perform a detailed comparison of the shape of the optical luminosity functions as a function of galaxy class and filter, which have been obtained from redshift surveys with an effective depth ranging from z~0.01 to z~0.6. This analysis is based on the M* and alpha Schechter parameters. I provide complete tables of all the existing measurements, converted into the UBVRcIc Johnson-Cousins system wherever necessary. By using as reference the intrinsic luminosity functions per morphological type measured from local galaxy concentrations (Jerjen et al 1997), I establish that the variations in the luminosity functions from survey to survey and among the galaxy classes are related to the criteria for galaxy classification used in the surveys, as these determine the amount of mixing of the morphological types within a given class. When using a spectral classification with inaccurate spectrophotometric calibrations, the luminosity functions are biased by type contamination with a smooth variation from type to type poorly related to the intrinsic luminosity functions per morphological type. In the case of multi-fiber spectroscopy, galaxy classification based on rest-frame colors might then provide better estimates of the intrinsic luminosity functions. All the existing surveys fail to measure the Gaussian luminosity functions for Spiral galaxies. Most surveys based on visual morphological classification also have their E/S0 luminosity functions contaminated at the faint end, except for analyses based on either multi-slit spectroscopy or medium-filter spectrophotometry combined with CCD photometry. These contamination effects are presumably due to dwarf galaxies. Measuring reliable intrinsic luminosity functions will thus require a more coherent approach in separating the giant and dwarf galaxy types.

description: We use subpicosecond laser pulses to generate and monitor in real time collective oscillations of electrons in a modulation-doped GaAs quantum well. The observed frequencies match those of intersubband spin- and charge-density excitations. Light couples to coherent density fluctuations through resonant stimulated Raman scattering. Because the spin- and charge-related modes obey different selection rules and resonant behavior, the amplitudes of the corresponding oscillations can be independently controlled by using shaped pulses of the proper polarization.
Particle Acceleration in Gamma-Ray Burst Jets

description: Gradual shear acceleration of energetic particles in gamma-ray burst (GRB) jets is considered. Special emphasis is given to the analysis of universal structured jets, and characteristic acceleration timescales are determined for a power-law and a Gaussian evolution of the bulk flow Lorentz factor $γ_b$ with angle $ϕ$ from the jet axis. The results suggest that local power-law particle distributions may be generated and that higher energy particles are generally concentrated closer to the jet axis. Taking several constraints into account we show that efficient electron acceleration in gradual shear flows, with maximum particle energy successively decreasing with time, may be possible on scales larger than $r \sim 10^{15}$ cm, provided the jet magnetic field becomes sufficiently weak and/or decreases rapidly enough with distance, while efficient acceleration of protons to ultra-high energies $> 10^{20}$ eV may be possible under a wide range of conditions.

description: Biological control of insect pests in the Caribbean dates back to the early 1900s, In spite of many failures, several parasites and predators have been successfully established in Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean Islands, for the control of crop pests. Some have provided complete control, while the others have reduced the pest populations considerably and have paved the way for further introductions, and ultimately the economic control of those pests. In 1974 the biological control of insect pests of horticultural crops in Barbados was reported. Since then a number of other natural enemies were established in Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean islands. This paper discusses the biological control of the major pests of sugar cane and of some commonly grown crucifers, cucurbits and vegetable crops in the Eastern Caribbean. ----- EI control hioidgico de insectos plaga, en el Caribe se llevd a cabo desde los a'ilos 1900, en las islas de Barbados y en las del Caribe Oriental.

description: Cabbage is an important crop in Trinidad. It is serverly damaged by Puttette xvtostette, Hellula phidilealis and Trichoplusia ni. Two parasites Apanteles ptutettee and Tetrastichus sokotowskii were introduced for control of P. xylostella in 1970s. These are established, but are adversely affected by chemical pesticides applied against the other pests. T. ni has a fairly large complex of natural enemies which may well exert considerable control if chemical pesticides are not used. There is a dearth of natural enemies of H. phidilealis and farmers have to rely on chemical pesticides. It requires investigations to develop a pest management system with little disruption of the agroecosystem. It is suggested to establish trials with known parasites of other species of Hettute, diseases and manipulation of wild hosts of H. phidilealis in cultivations. ----- El repollo es un cultivo de importancis en la isla de Trinidad.

description: This review summarizes recent research findings with approved as well as potential quarantine treatments to replace ethylene dibromide (EOB) fumigation in the eradication of the Caribbean fruit fly (Anastrepha suspense (Locw). Several million boxes of grapefruit (Citrus paradisi Macf.) are shipped annually from Florida to Japan; EOB fumigation and the cold treatment are the only approved methods to disinfest fruit of the Caribbean fruit fly. Limitations were found in the commercial use of the cold treatment, because of the presence of cold injury, in cold-intolerant cultivars such as grapefruit. In domestic shipments methyl bromide (MB) has been used for citrus fruits. To avoid phytotoxicity, citrus fruits fumigated with MB must be stored and handled at temperatures higher than those usually recommended. Gamma irradiation showed potential; presently it is not an approved treatment for fruits and vegetables. Phosphine (PH3) fumigation, which is not approved for citrus fruits, is phytotoxic to grapefruit at conditions required for Caribbean fruit fly mortality. ----- Se rcportan los resultados de investigaciones recientes que examinaron diferenros tratamientos aprobados y experimentales par remplacer 1'1 uso de dibromuro de etileno (EO B) en la eradicacidn de 131 mosca del caribe lAnsstrepbn suspense Loew.J Cada a1lo se manda varios millones de cajas de toronja (Citrus paradisi Macf.) de Florida a Japrfn; fumigacidh con EOB y tratamiento con temperaturas bajas son los 6nicos metodos aprobados para desinfestar 131 fruta de Ia mosca del caribe.

description: For a smooth germ of algebraic variety $(X,0)$ and a hypersurface $(f=0)$ in $X$, with an isolated singularity at $0$, Teissier conjectured a lower bound for the Arnold exponent of $f$ in terms of the Arnold exponent of a hyperplane section $f\vert_H$ and the invariant $θ_0(f)$ of the hypersurface. By building on an approach due to Loeser, we prove the conjecture in the case of log canonical thresholds.

description: We develop a thermodynamic description of particles held at a fixed surface potential. This system is of particular interest in view of the continuing controversy over the possibility of a fluid-fluid phase separation in aqueous colloidal suspensions with monovalent counterions. The condition of fixed surface potential allows in a natural way to account for the colloidal charge renormalization. In a first approach, we assess the importance of the so called ``volume terms'', and find that in the absence of salt, charge renormalization is sufficient to stabilize suspension against a fluid-fluid phase separation. Presence of salt, on the other hand, is found to lead to an instability. A very strong dependence on the approximations used, however, puts the reality of this phase transition in a serious doubt. To further understand the nature of the instability we next study a Jellium-like approximation, which does not lead to a phase separation and produces a relatively accurate analytical equation of state for a deionized suspensions of highly charged colloidal spheres. A critical analysis of various theories of strongly asymmetric electrolytes is presented to asses their reliability as compared to the Monte Carlo simulations.

description: In einer elster- bis saalezeitlichen Schichtenfolge in Surheide bei Bremerhaven wurde ein mittelpleistozänes limnisch ausgebildetes Interglazial angetroffen und pollenanalytisch untersucht. Der ältere und der mittlere Teil des Interglazials sind vorhanden, der jüngere Teil fehlt. Kennzeichnende Merkmale im Pollendiagramm sind ein früher und hoher Gipfel von Corylus und ein spätes Maximum von Abies sowie das völlige Fehlen von Carpinus, Ilex und Tertiärrelikten. Klimatisch erreichte das Interglazial etwa postglaziale Temperaturen. Im Vergleich mit anderen Pollendiagrammen scheiden Eem, Holstein s.l. und alle bekannten Cromer-Interglaziale aus. Große Ähnlichkeit besteht dagegen mit der unteren Warmzeit des in Südpolen weit verbreiteten Ferdinandow-Interglazials, das dort zwischen Elster I und Elster II gestellt wird. Nordisches Material unter dem Interglazial von Surheide spricht für eine entsprechende Einstufung auch dieses Interglazials.

The topology of $out(F_n)$

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Geometric Topology (math.GT)

subject: 57M07, 20F65, 20E08

description: We will survey the work on the topology of $Out(F_n)$ in the last 20 years or so. Much of the development is driven by the tantalizing analogy with mapping class groups. Unfortunately, $Out(F_n)$ is more complicated and less well-behaved. Culler and Vogtmann constructed Outer Space $X_n$, the analog of Teichmüller space, a contractible complex on which $Out(F_n)$ acts with finite stabilizers. Paths in $X_n$ can be generated using ``foldings'' of graphs, an operation introduced by Stallings to give alternative solutions for many algorithmic questions about free groups. The most conceptual proof of the contractibility of $X_n$ involves folding. There is a normal form of an automorphism, analogous to Thurston's normal form for surface homeomorphisms. This normal form, called a ``(relative) train track map'', consists of a cellular map on a graph and has good properties with respect to iteration. One may think of building an automorphism in stages, adding to the previous stages a building block that either grows exponentially or polynomially. A complicating feature is that these blocks are not ``disjoint'' as in Thurston's theory, but interact as upper stages can map over the lower stages. Applications include the study of growth rates (a surprising feature of free group automorphisms is that the growth rate of $f$ is generally different from the growth rate of $f^{-1}$), of the fixed subgroup of a given automorphism, and the proof of the Tits alternative for $Out(F_n)$.

description: Motivated by empirical evidence that individuals within group decision making simultaneously aspire to maximize utility and avoid inequality we propose a criterion based on the entropy-norm pair for geometric selection of strict Nash equilibria in n-person games. For this, we introduce a mapping of an n-person set of Nash equilibrium utilities in an Entropy-Norm space. We suggest that the most suitable group choice is the equilibrium closest to the largest entropy-norm pair of a rescaled Entropy-Norm space. Successive application of this criterion permits an ordering of the possible Nash equilibria in an n-person game accounting simultaneously equality and utility of players payoffs. Limitations of this approach for certain exceptional cases are discussed. In addition, the criterion proposed is applied and compared with the results of a group decision making experiment.

We consider the Sudakov form factor with a massive vector boson and Drell-Yan production of lepton pairs at small transverse momentum as demonstrative examples. In this formalism, rapidity divergences introduce a scheme dependence into the effective theory and are associated with large logarithms appearing in the soft matching conditions. This scheme dependence may be used to derive the corresponding rapidity renormalization group equations, and rates naturally factorize into hard, soft and jet contributions without the introduction of explicit modes.

Representing the strong-coupling regime of superconductivity, the spectra of lead show characteristic features that demonstrate the correspondence of physical properties in the normal and the superconducting state, as predicted by the Eliashberg theory. These features appear on an energy scale of a few meV and are accessible for photoemission only by using modern spectrometers with high resolution in energy and angle.

title: Structural and immunological studies of pertussis toxin: effect of toxoiding
Creators: name: Fowler, Sarah
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2002

description: A detoxified form of pertussis toxin (PT) is used as a component of acellular pertussis vaccines, to prevent whooping cough in children. In this study five commercial PT toxoids, and a series of formaldehyde-treated (0 - 1.00 %, w/v) native and non-toxic mutant PT (PT-9K/129G) preparations were analysed, to investigate the effects of detoxification on the structure and immunogenicity of PT. Native PT and a non-toxic mutant PT, compared using physico-chemical methods and molecular modelling, were found to be structurally comparable. Analysis of the PT toxoids demonstrated the variation in folding, conformation and subunit association induced by the different chemical methods of detoxification. A good murine IgG response to the toxoids was dependent on the maintenance of local structure such as the integrity of the protective SI epitope, but molecular aggregation did not appear to be detrimental. Sizing analysis of formaldehyde-treated mutant and native PT preparations, illustrated that both mutant and native PT molecules increased in size and heterogeneity, as a function of formaldehyde concentration. Immunoblotting of the formaldehydetreated preparations confirmed the presence of covalent inter-subunit cross-linking. Immunological analysis of formaldehyde-treated mutant PT preparations demonstrated that a small degree of aggregation may be beneficial for the immune response in mice, but that increasing amino acid modification, cross-linking and aggregation alters the type of immune response and causes a decrease in the neutralising antibodies. Toxicity assays demonstrated that formaldehyde detoxification of PT is due to modification of both the A- and the B-domain, and is subject to reversion. Evidence for antibody suppression and enhancement by different amounts of residual active PT was also obtained. The observations made here will help us to understand the complex relationships between antigen structure and immune response in vaccines containing PT.

description: Drei Auerochsenskelette (Bos primigenius) und ein Bisonskelett (Bison priscus) aus dem Jungpleistozän bzw. Holozän Deutschlands werden osteologisch beschrieben. Gattungsunterschiede an den Langknochen werden an den mit Hilfe des Schädels sicher bestimmten Skelettfunden auf ihre Zuverlässigkeit hin überprüft. In die Untersuchung wird Vergleichsmaterial von Bos primigenius und Bison priscus aus dem Pleistozän von England sowie von Bison div. sp. aus Nordamerika einbezogen. Schlüsselmerkmale für eine Unterscheidung von Bos primigenius und Bison priscus existieren nicht. Die in einer früheren Arbeit an Material aus den Schottern der nördlichen Oberrheinebene (Martin 1987) ausgearbeiteten Merkmalskombinationen konnten als brauchbar bestätigt werden, wobei sich erneut zeigte, daß sehr zierliche Knochen in ihren Merkmalsausprägungen abweichen können. Die Unterscheidungsmerkmale lassen sich generell auch auf den nordamerikanischen Bison antiquus und Bison bison erfolgreich anwenden, sofern die Knochen in derselben Größenklasse wie die von Bison priscus liegen.

description: We study the variation of the dark matter mass fraction of elliptical galaxies as a function of their luminosity, stellar mass, and size using a sample of 29,469 elliptical galaxies culled from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We model ellipticals as a stellar Hernquist profile embedded in an adiabatically compressed dark matter halo. This model allows us to estimate a dynamical mass ($M_{dynm}$) at the half-light radius from the velocity dispersion of the spectra, and to compare these to the stellar mass estimates ($M_{*}$) from Kauffmann et al (2003). We find that $M_{*}/L$ is independent of luminosity, while $M_{dynm}/L$ increases with luminosity, implying that the dark matter fraction increases with luminosity. We also observe that at a fixed luminosity or stellar mass, the dark matter fraction increases with increasing galaxy size or, equivalently, increases with decreasing surface brightness: high surface brightness galaxies show almost no evidence for dark matter, while in low surface brightness galaxies, the dark matter exceeds the stellar mass at the half light radius. We relate this to the fundamental plane of elliptical galaxies, suggesting that the tilt of this plane from simple virial predictions is due to the dark matter in galaxies. We find that a simple model where galaxies are embedded in dark matter halos and have a star formation efficiency independent of their surface brightness explains these trends. We estimate the virial mass of ellipticals as being approximately 7-30 times their stellar mass, with the lower limit suggesting almost all of the gas within the virial radius is converted into stars.

description: The research was conducted on two farms previously under carrot {Decucus cerote) monoculture and intercropped sweet potato (Ipomoea betetes) and carrot, respectively, for the past three years. The pre-plant population densities of Meloidogyne incognita were highly significantly reduced (P =0.001) under cabbage-carrot, chives-carrot and onion-carrot, as compared to sole cropping of carrot, after four months' growth. The initial root-knot nematode population densities in both farms combined were increased by 235% when carrot was grown in pure stands. Under the three crop combinations there was also a significant 40-60% reduction in root-knot gall indices of carrots, compared with carrots grown in monoculture. The potential of the three intercropping systems to manage the root-knot nematode on carrot in small farms in St. Vincent is discussed. ----- La investigacioh se llevd"a cabo, en dos fincas cultivadas an teriormente con zanahoria [Deucus cerote) en monoculti') o y, con rel(vo de camote (Ipomoea betetesl y znnahotia respectiveamente, durante los Gltimos tres anos.

description: Triple differential dijet cross sections in e^\pm p interactions are presented in the region of photon virtualities 27GeV, E_T2>5GeV, and pseudorapidities -2.5 < eta_1^*, eta_2^* <0. The measurements are made in the gamma^* p centre-of-mass frame, using an integrated luminosity of 57pb^-1. The data are compared with NLO QCD calculations and LO Monte Carlo programs with and without a resolved virtual photon contribution. NLO QCD calculations fail to describe the region of low Q^2 and low jet transverse energies, in contrast to a LO Monte Carlo generator which includes direct and resolved photon interactions with both transversely and longitudinally polarised photons. Initial and final state parton showers are tested as a mechanism for including higher order QCD effects in low E_T jet production.

description: A scheme for remote weak signal sensor is proposed in which a coupled resonator optical waveguide~(CROW), as a transmitter, couples to a hybrid optomechanical cavity and an observing cavity, respectively. The non-Markovian theory is employed to study the weak force sensor by treating the CROW as a non-Markovian reservoir of the cavity fields, and the negative-effective-mass~(NEM) oscillator is introduced to cancel the back-action noise. Under certain conditions, dissipationless bound states can be formed such that weak signal can be transferred in the CROW without dissipation. Our results show that ultrahigh sensitivity can be achieved with the assistance of the bound states under certain parameters regime.

description: Triangular lattice models for pattern formation by hard-core soft-shell particles at interfaces are introduced and studied in order to determine the effect of the shell thickness and structure. In model I, we consider particles with hard-cores covered by shells of cross-linked polymeric chains. In model II, such inner shell is covered by a much softer outer shell. In both models, the hard cores can occupy sites of the triangular lattice, and nearest-neighbor repulsion following from overlapping shells is assumed. The capillary force is represented by the second- or the fifth neighbor attraction in model I or II, respectively. Ground states with fixed chemical potential $μ$ or with fixed fraction of occupied sites c are thoroughly studied. For T > 0, the $μ(c)$ isotherms, compressibility and specific heat are calculated by Monte Carlo simulations. In model II, 6 ordered periodic patterns occur in addition to 4 phases found in model I. These additional phases, however, are stable only at the phase coexistence lines, i.e. in regions of zero measure at the $(μ,T)$ diagram which otherwise looks like the diagram of model I. In the canonical ensemble, these 6 phases and interfaces between them appear in model II for large intervals of c, and the number of possible patterns is much larger than in model I. We calculated surface tensions for different interfaces and found that the favorable orientation of the interface corresponds to its smoothest shape in both models.

description: Tannia, Xanthosoma spp. (L.) Schott, is a staple root crop in the humid tropics. In the East Caribbean, the crop is also of great survival and economic value to the largely subsistence farming population, amidst the constant threat of hurricanes. The crop is susceptible to Tannia Rapid Yellowing Disease (TRYD), especially in Dominica and St. Lucia. The disease is caused by the fungus, Pythium myriotvtum Drechsl, It is prevalent in poorly drained locations and particularly affects the desirable, smooth-skinned, white or purple-fleshed cultivars, It is spread through the use of infested planting material and perpetuated in fields with volunteer, diseased host plants. A rough-skinned, whitefleshed tannia cv of limited marketability is tolerant to TRYD. The eddoe, Colocasia esculente, is resistant. The use of fungicides, including metalaxyl, cultural practices, combined with host plant resistance, are suggested for the integrated management of the disease. In the long term, joint efforts with existing breeding programmes for resistance to the disease are recommended. ----- EI ocumo, Xentbosome spp (L.) Schott, es un tubeiculo alimenticio de importancia en el tr&'pico humedo. En el Caribe Oriental, este cultivo es tambien de gran valor econdmico y de sobrevivencia para la poblaci6n agriC'&la marginal. la cual se encuentra en constante amenaza de incidencia de huracanes. EI cultivo es susceptible a la enfermedad del Amarillamiento Rapido del Xanthosoma spp. (TRYD) especialmente en la isla de Dominica yen la de St. Lucia. La enfermedad es causada por el hongo Pythium myriotylum Drechsl. Este es predominante en lugares con pobre drenaje y afecta particularmente a los cultivates de d(scara lisa y de color blanco 0 morado, los cuales tienen mayor demanda. La enfermedad se disemina mediante el uso de material de plantlo infectado y perpetuado en campos con plantas voluntarias-huespedes. La Xanthosoma spp cv, blanca y con cascara rugosa y de mercadeo limitado, es tolerante ala enfermedad TRYD. La colocssie esculents, es resistente a dicha enfermedad. El uso de fungicidas, incluyendo el rnetalaxyl, y las formas de cultivo combinadas con plantas huespedes, son las practicas sugeridas para el manejo integrado de la enfermedad. A largo plazo se recomienda, la practica de esfuerzos mutuos con programas exsistentes de mejoramiento genltico.
