Gravitational Imaging of CDM Substructure

Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We propose the novel method of ``gravitational imaging'' to detect and quantify luminous and dark-matter substructure in gravitational-lens galaxies. The method utilizes highly-magnified Einstein rings and arcs as sensitive probes of small perturbations in the lens potential (due to the presence of mass substructure), reconstructing the gravitational lens potential non-parametrically. Numerical simulations show that the implemented algorithm can reconstruct the smooth mass distribution of a typical lens galaxy - exhibiting reasonable signal-to-noise Einstein rings - as well as compact substructure with masses as low as M_sub~10^-3 M_lens, if present. ``Gravitational imaging'' of pure dark-matter substructure around massive galaxies can provide a new window on the standard cold-dark-matter paradigm, using very different physics than ground-based direct-detection experiments, and probe the hierarchical structure-formation model which predicts this substructure to exist in great abundance.

description: We use Kriström's simple spike model to assess the factors influencing consumers' willingness to pay a premium for a variety of certified wood products. A survey of over 1600 Pennsylvania and Tennessee residents found that approximately 35% were willing to pay some positive "premium" for environmentally certified wood products. For three types of wood products (a $29 shelf, a $200 chair, and a $800 table) we find the estimated market premiums to be 12.9%, 8.5%, and 2.8%, respectively.

description: We investigate the influence of the stimulated Raman scattering on the formation of bright and dark localized states in all-fiber resonators subject to a coherent optical injection, when operating in the normal dispersion regime. In the absence of the Raman effect, and far from any modulational instability, localized structures form due to the locking of domain walls connecting two coexisting continuous wave states, and undergo a particular bifurcation structure known as collapsed snaking. The stimulated Raman scattering breaks the reflection symmetry of the system, and modifies the dynamics, stability, and locking of domain walls. This modification leads to the formation of, not only dark, but also bright moving localized states, which otherwise are absent. We perform a detailed bifurcation analysis of these localized states, and classify their dynamics and stability as a function of the main parameters of the system.

description: The Australian publishing industry has transformed itself from a colonial outpost of British publishing to a central node in a truly global publishing industry. Despite challenges, including reduced government support for home-grown authors and the arts, small presses thrive and Australian consumers have access to an unprecedented range of foreign and domestic titles. Social media, big data, print on demand, subscription and new compensation models are subtly reshaping an industry that now also relies on more freelance labour than ever before. Publishing Means Business examines the current state of this exciting and unpredictable industry, while also asking questions about the broader role of publishing within our culture.

description: From homosexual law reform to drag kings; from HIV/AIDS to lesbian artists; from old age to moviegoing – gay and lesbian life in Australia has always been a vibrant canvas. In this collection, the sixth in the Gay and Lesbian Perspectives series, established and newly emerging Australian historians cast an eye over the past hundred years or so. Drawing on sources as diverse as government records, police and court documents, archives and memoirs and oral histories from across the nation, they have unearthed stories that will surprise, delight, and inform. It will be of great interest to those working and studying in the fields of sexuality and gender studies, sociology, Australian history, politics and other social studies, as well as to those in the specific fields of HIV/AIDS, queer literature, violence in Australia, ageing, and media studies. These are histories that aren’t taught at school – but should be!
Dense Linear Algebra over Finite Fields: the FFLAS and FFPACK packages

description: In the past two decades, some major efforts have been made to reduce exact (e.g. integer, rational, polynomial) linear algebra problems to matrix multiplication in order to provide algorithms with optimal asymptotic complexity. To provide efficient implementations of such algorithms one need to be careful with the underlying arithmetic. It is well known that modular techniques such as the Chinese remainder algorithm or the p-adic lifting allow very good practical performance, especially when word size arithmetic are used. Therefore, finite field arithmetic becomes an important core for efficient exact linear algebra libraries. In this paper, we study high performance implementations of basic linear algebra routines over word size prime fields: specially the matrix multiplication; our goal being to provide an exact alternate to the numerical BLAS library. We show that this is made possible by a carefull combination of numerical computations and asymptotically faster algorithms. Our kernel has several symbolic linear algebra applications enabled by diverse matrix multiplication reductions: symbolic triangularization, system solving, determinant and matrix inverse implementations are thus studied.

description: We have performed a search for neutral Higgs bosons produced in association with bottom quarks in $p\bar{p}$ collisions, using 260 $pb^{-1}$ of data collected with the D0 detector in Run II of the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The cross sections for these processes are enhanced in many extensions of the standard model (SM), such as in its minimal supersymmetric extension at large tan$β$. The results of our analysis agree with expectations from the SM, and we use our measurements to set upper limits on the production of neutral Higgs bosons in the mass range of 90 to 150 GeV.

Personal View: Photographs 1978 – 1986

Publisher: name: Monash University

Subjects: Art

description: In 2004, Janine Burke was looking for a photograph she’d taken of Albert Tucker. Crammed into the bottom drawer of a ﬁling cabinet in her study, she discovered hundreds of photographs that she’d taken over the years and forgotten about. Best known as an author and art historian, Personal View: Photographs 1978–1986 reveals Burke as an ‘accidental photographer’ who recorded the artists, critics, writers and curators who were her friends and colleagues during a dynamic period in Australian art. Personal View Photographs: 1978–1986 is a casual, intimate, visual memoir that includes Albert Tucker, Betty Churcher, Sue Ford, Allan Mitelman, Jenny Watson, Shane Maloney, John Nixon, Frances Lindsay and Paul Taylor. Living in Carlton in the 70s, Burke was part of a milieu that generated the women’s art movement, feminist exhibitions, radical journals, experimental galleries and provocative art. The common denominator in all these ventures were networks of intense friendships, a catalyst that helped to change the culture. Personal View is a snapshot of an era.
Zealots in multi-state noisy voter models

description: The noisy voter model is a stylised representation of opinion dynamics. Individuals copy opinions from other individuals, and are subject to spontaneous state changes. In the case of two opinion states this model is known to have a noise-driven transition between a unimodal phase, in which both opinions are present, and a bimodal phase in which one of the opinions dominates. The presence of zealots can remove the unimodal and bimodal phases in the model with two opinion states. Here, we study the effects of zealots in noisy voter models with M>2 opinion states on complete interaction graphs. We find that the phase behaviour diversifies, with up to six possible qualitatively different types of stationary states. The presence of zealots removes some of these phases, but not all. We analyse situations in which zealots affect the entire population, or only a fraction of agents, and show that this situation corresponds to a single-community model with a fractional number of zealots, further enriching the phase diagram. Our study is conducted analytically based on effective birth-death dynamics for the number of individuals holding a given opinion. Results are confirmed in numerical simulations.

Model Simulations of a Shock-Cloud Interaction in the Cygnus Loop

Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We present optical observations and 2D hydrodynamic modeling of an isolated shocked ISM cloud. H$α$ images taken in 1992.6 and 2003.7 of a small optical emission cloud along the southwestern limb of the Cygnus Loop were used to measure positional displacements of $\sim$ $0 \farcs 1$ yr$^{-1}$ for surrounding Balmer dominated emission filaments and $0\farcs025 - \farcs055$ yr$^{-1}$ for internal cloud emission features. These measurements imply transverse velocities of $\simeq$ 250 km s$^{-1}$ and $\simeq$ 80 -- 140 km s$^{-1}$ for ambient ISM and internal cloud shocks respectively. The complex shock structure visible within the cloud indicates that the cloud's internal density distribution is two phased: a smoothly varying background density which is populated by higher density clumps. We present model results for a shock interacting with a non-uniform ISM cloud. We find that this cloud can be well modeled by a smoothly varying power law core surrounded by a low density envelope with a Lorentzian profile. The lack of sharp density gradients in such a model inhibits the growth of Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities, consistent with the cloud's appearance. Our model results also suggest that cloud clumps have densities $\sim$ 10 times the ambient ISM density and account for $\sim$ 30% of the total cloud volume. Moreover, the observed spacing of internal cloud shocks and model simulations indicate that the distance between clumps is $\sim$ 4 clump radii.

Resource communities in transition : planning for rural community survival: Zeballos, British Columbia
Creators: name: Grinnell, Deana F.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Exploring planning methodology for BC's resource-based communities, this paper investigates rural community transition and proposes a planning framework based on enhancing the survival capacity of communities facing the pressures and challenges of economic and social change. Utilizing both primary and secondary research methods (including a review of relevant literature, government publications, and a pilot of the proposed method in Zeballos, British Columbia), this analysis is intended to contribute to the practicing planner's tools for working with rural communities in economic and social transition. The study first examines the context of British Columbia's forestry-dependent communities. It explores the literature around successful community development efforts and also around stable and resilient communities and identifies Fourteen Characteristics of Surviving Rural Communities. It then proposes a planning method that is responsive to these characteristics, with a goal to both build awareness of the community's inherent survival capacity and to foster it through a 'learning-by-doing' process. It also examines the role of the planner in working with these communities. Working with the community of Zeballos, the pilot process revealed several insights about planning with transitioning communities. These communities are not alike, they are shaped by a range of factors and face diverse influences. Yet all require a willingness to accept and embrace change and they require support in managing change. Best efforts to plan for an achievable transition strategy requires considerable forethought in preparing a planning methodology that serves the community's needs and enables the community to shape goals toward achievable outcomes. For communities in transition, enhancing local capacity to survive and manage change may be as important as selecting any specific transition outcome, for it has been shown that it is in the way that communities determine and implement their transition strategy that determines success in the effort.

description: We show that there is a common mode of origin for the power laws observed in two different models: (i) the Pareto law for the distribution of money among the agents with random saving propensities in an ideal gas-like market model and (ii) the Gutenberg-Richter law for the distribution of overlaps in a fractal-overlap model for earthquakes. We find that the power laws appear as the asymptotic forms of ever-widening log-normal distributions for the agents' money and the overlap magnitude respectively. The identification of the generic origin of the power laws helps in better understanding and in developing generalized views of phenomena in such diverse areas as economics and geophysics.

description: We study the inflationary scenarios driven by a Wilson line field - the fifth component of a 5D gauge field and corresponding modulus field, within S^1/Z_2 orbifold supergravity (SUGRA). We use our off shell superfield formulation and give a detailed description of the issue of SUSY breaking by the F-component of the radion superfield. By a suitably gauged U(1)R symmetry and including couplings with compensator supermultiplets and a linear multiplet, we achieve a self consistent radion mediated SUSY breaking of no scale type. The inflaton 1-loop effective potential has attractive features needed for successful inflation. An interesting feature of both presented inflationary scenarios are the red tilted spectra with ns~0.96. For gauge inflation we obtain a significant tensor to scalar ratio r~0.1 of the density perturbations, while for the modulus inflation r is strongly suppressed.

description: Previous climate information studies have used static models to estimate the benefits of using seasonal forecasts. Technology adoption studies, on the other hand, have used dynamic models but have examined the benefits of adoption ex post. The objective of this study is to examine ex ante the effects of climate forecast adoption on the international wheat market over time. Two general sets of scenarios are analyzed. The first set assumes all wheat-producers within a country or set of countries adopt the forecasts, while producers in the remaining country (ies) do not. Next, producers adopt sequentially over time based on S-shaped adoption curves, whose rates vary by country. Welfare implications are examined and compared in the different scenarios. The model simulates wheat production and trade for the three major exporting countries: United States, Canada, and Australia over 20 years using Monte Carlo techniques. Climate forecasts are based on the five phases of the Southern Oscillation Index. Results for each scenario are based on 1000 simulations. This paper illustrates that when producers in one area of the world adopt a new technology, it has worldwide ramifications. In the case of wheat, producers are better off, on average, if everybody adopts climate forecasts. The gains are not distributed evenly, however, and the variability can be quite large. Adoption can, in some years, lead to substantial losses. Results indicate a great advantage to those who adopt first, though this advantage declines rapidly as more producers adopt. Understanding ex ante the likely consequences of using ENSO-based forecasts allows decision-makers to make better choices.

description: This paper identifies market failures that limit agricultural R&D for Africa and other resource-poor environments, and proposes a mechanism to help circumvent them with cash prizes for the dissemination of successful innovations. The proposed prize institution would use ex-post experiments and farm surveys to document the value of innovations after their initial diffusion, to avoid pre-specification of technologies. Prizes would be offered in proportion to estimated social benefits, and would buy innovations into the public domain so that innovators with marketable technologies would choose not to apply for prizes. A governance structure to ensure credibility and financial sustainability is proposed.

The Friedmann equation can be regarded as the first law of thermodynamics of an effective gravitational theory in quasi de Sitter spacetime. The associated entropy provides some selection rules for the range of the parameters of the models, and is proposed for describing tunneling processes in the class of high-energy gravities under consideration.

description: Orb and Sceptre brings together recent cutting-edge work on British imperialism by Australian researchers closely associated with Norman Etherington, one of Australia's most eminent scholars in this field. Orb and Sceptre reflects the trajectory of British Empire history in the academy over the last forty years. Demands for new nationalist histories for decolonised territories have combined with renewed attention to the role of the periphery in the making and unmaking of empires. This has formed an explosive mix that has blown apart traditional conceptions of Empire and Commonwealth history. The colonial construction of knowledge is a principal theme in Orb and Sceptre. Former colonies and dependencies looked to a fresh generation of historians to write their histories, generally conceived as grand narratives of escape from imperial shackles. At the same time, a new wave of scholars influenced by feminism, neo-Marxism, dependency theory and postcolonialism laid the groundwork for a renaissance in Empire and Commonwealth history. These historians have been rediscovering the links that continue to connect former colonies to their imperial pasts. This book offers: - A showcase of new studies in British Imperialism by Australian and international scholars, highlighting cutting-edge approaches and areas of interest from cultural studies to biography and landscape studies, as well as traditional areas such as political history, immigration, and military history; - Exciting new research on Australian, Asian and African history; and - A bibliography of the works of Norman Etherington. The book is enlivened by a wide range of illustrative material, including photos, drawings and maps. Orb and Sceptre is a festschrift in honour of Norman Etherington, one of Australia's most eminent scholars of imperialism.

description: One-dimensional (1D) metallic mirror-twin boundaries (MTBs) in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) exhibit a periodic charge modulation and provide an ideal platform for exploring collective electron behavior in the confined system. The underlying mechanism of the charge modulation and how the electrons travel in 1D structures remain controversial. Here, for the first time, we observed atomic-scale structures of the charge distribution within one period in MTB of monolayer MoTe2 by using scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS). The coexisting apparent periodic lattice distortions and U-shaped energy gap clearly demonstrate a Peierls-type charge density wave (CDW). Equidistant quantized energy levels with varied periodicity are further discovered outside the CDW gap along the metallic MTB. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations are in good agreement with the gapped electronic structures and reveal they originate mainly from Mo 4d orbital. Our work presents hallmark evidence of the 1D Peierls-type CDW on the metallic MTBs and offers opportunities to study the underlying physics of 1D charge modulation.

description: The Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) Virgo Cluster Survey is a large program to image 100 early-type Virgo galaxies using the F475W and F850LP bandpasses of the Wide Field Channel of the ACS instrument on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The scientific goals of this survey include an exploration of the three-dimensional structure of the Virgo Cluster and a critical examination of the usefulness of the globular cluster luminosity function as a distance indicator. Both of these issues require accurate distances for the full sample of 100 program galaxies. In this paper, we describe our data reduction procedures and examine the feasibility of accurate distance measurements using the method of surface brightness fluctuations (SBF) applied to the ACS Virgo Cluster Survey F850LP imaging. The ACS exhibits significant geometrical distortions due to its off-axis location in the HST focal plane; correcting for these distortions by resampling the pixel values onto an undistorted frame results in pixel correlations that depend on the nature of the interpolation kernel used for the resampling. This poses a major challenge for the SBF technique, which normally assumes a flat power spectrum for the noise. We investigate a number of different interpolation kernels and show through an analysis of simulated galaxy images having realistic noise properties that it is possible, depending on the kernel, to measure SBF distances using distortion-corrected ACS images without introducing significant additional error from the resampling. We conclude by showing examples of real image power spectra from our survey.

A consistent derivation of regularized Grad's equations in the framework the method of invariant manifold is given. A new class of kinetic models to lift the finite-moment description to a kinetic theory in the whole space is established. Relations of Grad's approach to modern mesoscopic integrators such as the entropic lattice Boltzmann method are also discussed.

description: Urban sprawl and sparse living are pervasive in Australia. Despite high levels of car ownership, many Australians do not have access to a private car for their travel needs. These people, often from marginalised groups in society such as young people, those on low incomes, older people, indigenous Australians and those with disabilities, face difficulties accessing services, facilities and activities. What are the personal and social costs of lack of access to transport on individual and community well-being? How, and to what extent, do poor transport options contribute to disadvantage? No Way to Go is an edited collection of papers that discuss the links between transport disadvantage and social exclusion in Australia. The book begins by exploring the global context for the Australian experience, with a series of papers from international contributors. In the second section, case studies based on recent empirical research examine the situation from the perspectives of different marginalised groups in Australian society. The book concludes by examining the implications for Australian social and transport policy.

description: A mean field calculation of the $T\to 0$ limit of the Hall conductance of electron-doped cuprates such as $Pr_{2-x}Ce_xCuO_{4+δ}$ is presented. The data are found to be qualitatively consistent with the reconstruction of the Fermi surface expected upon density wave ordering. The magnitude of the density wave gap is found to be large. The Hall resistance exhibits a nonanalyticity at the quantum critical point for density wave ordering, but the amplitude of the anomaly is found to be unobservably small. The quantum critical contribution to $R_H(B)$ is determined. Quantitative discrepancies between calculation and data remain, suggesting that the experimental doping is not identical to the $Ce$ concentration $x$.

description: Knowledge of the mechanical properties of protoplanetary and cometary matter is of key importance to better understand the activity of comets and the early stages of planet formation. The tensile strength determines the required pressure to lift off grains, pebbles and agglomerates from the cometary surface and also describes how much strain a macroscopic body can withstand before material failure occurs. As organic materials are ubiquitous in space, they could have played an important role during the planet formation process. This work provides new data on the tensile strength of five different micro-granular organic materials, namely, humic acid, paraffin, brown coal, charcoal and graphite. These materials are investigated by the so-called Brazilian Disc Test and the resulting tensile strength values are normalised to a standard grain size and volume filling factor. We find that the tensile strength of these materials ranges over four orders of magnitude. Graphite and paraffin possess tensile strengths much higher than silica, whereas coals have very low tensile strength values. This work demonstrates that organic materials are not generally stickier than silicates, or water ice, as often believed.
Verification of Z-scaling in pp Collisions at RHIC

description: New experimental data on inclusive spectra of identified particles produced in pp collisions at the RHIC are used to test z-scaling. Energy and multiplicity independence of the scaling function is established. The RHIC data confirm z-scaling observed at U70, ISR, SpS and Tevatron energies. The obtained results are of interest to search for new physics phenomena of particle production in high transverse momentum and high multiplicity region at RHIC, Tevatron and LHC.

Lexical selection in bilinguals : proactive or reactive adjustment to language choice
Creators: name: Bélanger, Carole
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This study was designed to test the claim that there are two components to bilingual language control (Green, 1998). The first is proactive control by which the language processing system prepares for an anticipated shift in language. The second is reactive language control, a mechanism by which the language processing system completes its preparation for a language shift on the basis of either an external or an internal stimulus. In an experimental study of language switching, eighteen balanced English-French bilinguals named sequences of two pictures in either the same language or in different languages. Proactive control was examined by manipulating foreknowledge o f whether the pictures would be named in the same language or in different languages. Reactive control was examined by manipulating the semantic relatedness between the two pictures in a pair. A positive semantic priming effect was observed when languages were repeated but no negative priming effect was observed when languages were switched. Thus, the reactive inhibition hypothesis was not supported. As expected, a time cost was associated with switching languages but this unexpectedly occurred only when foreknowledge was available. Consistent with the notion of proactive processing response latencies on both switch and repetition trials were faster when foreknowledge was available. The overall pattern of results is consistent with models which postulate control components which operate at both a global level and a local level. Examination o f the results in terms of the Language Mode Continuum framework (Grosjean, 2001) suggest that bilinguals can strategically adopt a preparatory state that especially facilitates language switching.

description: The 'Melbourne 2030' plan is the Victorian Government's blueprint for the accommodation of an additional one million people in Melbourne by the year 2030. The plan seeks to change the shape of Melbourne radically. The vision is of a compact city in which growth will be concentrated in existing commercial centres (activity centres). Notwithstanding this fundamental departure from the low density pattern of the past, it is claimed that Melbourne's famed 'liveability' will be preserved. This book explores: - the intellectual origins of the plan; - demographic assumptions behind the plan; - the mode of implementation; - the likely impact on the built environment; - environmental and social consequences; - heritage outcomes; and - alternative planning options. It also critically examines assumptions about the projected demand for higher density housing, and argues that the plan's 'compact city' vision is unlikely to be achieved because it fails to come to grips with the economic and demographic realities facing Melbourne.

description: We propose a novel method to find the community structure in complex networks based on an extremal optimization of the value of modularity. The method outperforms the optimal modularity found by the existing algorithms in the literature. We present the results of the algorithm for computer simulated and real networks and compare them with other approaches. The efficiency and accuracy of the method make it feasible to be used for the accurate identification of community structure in large complex networks.

On the quantum spectrum of isochronous potentials
Creators: name: Dorignac, J.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper, the quantum spectrum of isochronous potentials is investigated. Given that the frequency of the classical motion in such potentials is energy-independent, it is natural to expect their quantum spectra to be equispaced. However, as it has already been shown in some specific examples, this property is not always true. To gain some general insight into this problem, a WKB analysis of the spectrum, valid for any analytic potential, is performed and the first semiclassical corrections to its regular spacing are calculated. We illustrate the results on the two-parameter family of isochronous potentials derived in [1], which includes the harmonic oscillator, the asymmetric parabolic well, the radial harmonic oscillator and Urabe's potential as special limiting cases. In addition, some new analytical expressions for families of isochronous potentials and their corresponding spectra are derived by means of the above-mentioned method.

description: Recently, Chan and Wang (Fractional powers of the generating function for the partition function. Acta Arith. 187(1), 59--80 (2019)) studied the fractional powers of the generating function for the partition function and found several congruences satisfied by the corresponding coefficients. In this paper, we find some new families of congruences modulo powers of primes. We also find analogous results for the coefficients of the fractional powers of the generating function for the 2-color partition function.
