description: Short period double degenerates (DDs) are close white dwarf - white dwarf binary stars which are the result of the evolution of interacting binary stars. We present the first definitive measurements of the mass ratio for two DDs, WD0136+768 and WD1204+450, and an improved measurement of the mass ratio for WD0957-666. We compare the properties of the 6 known DDs with measured mass ratios to the predictions of various theoretical models. We confirm the result that standard models for the formation of DDs do not predict sufficient DDs with mass ratios near 1. We also show that the observed difference in cooling ages between white dwarfs in DDs is a useful constraint on the initial mass ratio of the binary. A more careful analysis of the properties of the white dwarf pair WD1704+481.2 leads us to conclude that the brighter white dwarf is older than its fainter companion. This is the opposite of the usual case for DDs and is caused by the more massive white dwarf being smaller and cooling faster. The mass ratio in the sense (mass of younger star)/(mass of older star) is then 1.43+-0.06 rather than the value 0.70+-0.03 given previously.

description: Brazil contributes 55% and 60% of the world’s production of fresh oranges and orange juice, respectively. In recent years, increasing production costs and low orange prices reduced the citrus producers’ profitability. In this paper we investigate the potential for irrigation to improve the profitability of orange production, using data from a sample of 98 citrus producers in the state of Sao Paulo, 34 of whom had adopted irrigation. Based on a translog production function, we use 3SLS to estimate a system of equations comprising the production function and the inverse derived demands for inputs, to obtain the impact of irrigation adoption on productivity. Results show that adopting irrigation increases citrus production by 19%. We estimate production elasticities of capital (.16), labor (.21), land (.26) and fertilizers (.20). We found that by considering yield increases versus both fixed and variable costs of implementation, farmers could expect to break even by the fifth year of irrigation use

description: We explore the relation between two natural symmetry properties of voting rules. The first is transitive-symmetry -- the property of invariance to a transitive permutation group -- while the second is the "unbiased" property of every voter having the same influence for all i.i.d. probability measures. We show that these properties are distinct by two constructions -- one probabilistic, one explicit -- of rules that are unbiased but not transitive-symmetric.

description: Abstract: Cholesterol import in mammalian cells is mediated by the LDL receptor pathway. Here, we perform a genome-wide CRISPR screen using an endogenous cholesterol reporter and identify >100 genes involved in LDL-cholesterol import. We characterise C18orf8 as a core subunit of the mammalian Mon1-Ccz1 guanidine exchange factor (GEF) for Rab7, required for complex stability and function. C18orf8-deficient cells lack Rab7 activation and show severe defects in late endosome morphology and endosomal LDL trafficking, resulting in cellular cholesterol deficiency. Unexpectedly, free cholesterol accumulates within swollen lysosomes, suggesting a critical defect in lysosomal cholesterol export. We find that active Rab7 interacts with the NPC1 cholesterol transporter and licenses lysosomal cholesterol export. This process is abolished in C18orf8-, Ccz1- and Mon1A/B-deficient cells and restored by a constitutively active Rab7. The trimeric Mon1-Ccz1-C18orf8 (MCC) GEF therefore plays a central role in cellular cholesterol homeostasis coordinating Rab7 activation, endosomal LDL trafficking and NPC1-dependent lysosomal cholesterol export.

description: Low-rate application layer distributed denial of service (LDDoS) attacks are both powerful and stealthy. They force vulnerable webservers to open all available connections to the adversary, denying resources to real users. Mitigation advice focuses on solutions that potentially degrade quality of service for legitimate connections. Furthermore, without accurate detection mechanisms, distributed attacks can bypass these defences. A methodology for detection of LDDoS attacks, based on characteristics of malicious TCP flows, is proposed within this paper. Research will be conducted using combinations of two datasets: one generated from a simulated network, the other from the publically available CIC DoS dataset. Both contain the attacks slowread, slowheaders and slowbody, alongside legitimate web browsing. TCP flow features are extracted from all connections. Experimentation was carried out using six supervised AI algorithms to categorise attack from legitimate flows. Decision trees and k-NN accurately classified up to 99.99% of flows, with exceptionally low false positive and false negative rates, demonstrating the potential of AI in LDDoS detection.

Renormalization group improvement of the NRQCD Lagrangian and heavy quarkonium spectrum

Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We complete the leading-log renormalization group scaling of the NRQCD Lagrangian at $O(1/m^2)$. The next-to-next-to-leading-log renormalization group scaling of the potential NRQCD Lagrangian (as far as the singlet is concerned) is also obtained in the situation $mα_s \gg Λ_{QCD}$. As a by-product, we obtain the heavy quarkonium spectrum with the same accuracy in the situation $mα_s^2 \simg Λ_{QCD}$. When $Λ_{QCD} \ll mα_s^2$, this is equivalent to obtain the whole set of $O(mα_s^{(n+4)} \ln^n α_s)$ terms in the heavy quarkonium spectrum. The implications of our results in the non-perturbative situation $mα_s \sim Λ_{QCD}$ are also mentioned.

description: Abstract: Theoretical predictions with next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD accuracy combined with the next-to-leading order (NLO) electroweak (EW) corrections are presented for differential observables of the double-Higgs production process via vector-boson fusion. While the QCD corrections were previously known, the EW ones are computed here for the first time. The numerical results are obtained for a realistic experimental set-up at the LHC and are presented in the form of fiducial cross sections and differential distributions. Within this setup we find that the VBF approximation employed in the NNLO QCD correction is accurate at the sub-percent level. We find that the NLO EW corrections within the fiducial volume are -6.1%, making them of almost the same order as the NLO QCD corrections. In some kinematic regions they can grow as large as -30% making them the dominant radiative corrections. When the EW corrections are combined with the NNLO QCD corrections we find a total correction of -14.8%. The results presented here thus comprise the state-of-the-art theoretical predicition for the double-Higgs production via vector-boson fusion, which will be of value to the high-luminosity programme at the LHC.
Phase-space inequalities beyond negativities

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We derive a family of inequalities involving different phase-space distributions of a quantum state which have to be fulfilled by any classical state. The violation of these inequalities is a clear signature of nonclassicality. Our approach combines the characterization of nonclassical effects via negativities in phase-space distributions with inequality conditions usually being formulated for moments of physical observables. Importantly, the obtained criteria certify nonclassicality even when the involved phase-space distributions are non-negative. Moreover, we show how these inequalities are related to correlation measurements. The strength of the derived conditions is demonstrated by different examples, including squeezed states, lossy single-photon states, and even coherent states.

description: This paper studies mixed multiplicities of an arbitrary standard bigraded algebra and mixed multiplicities of two ideals I, J in a local ring (A,m), where I is an m-primary ideal and J an arbitrary ideal. The main results are criteria for their positivity which can be used to compute them effectively. We also show that the range of positive mixed multiplicities of a bigraded algebra is rigid if the algebra satisfies the first chain condition and is connected in codimension one and that this range is always rigid for mixed multiplicities of ideals. These results can be used to study the mu-invariants of analytic hypersurfaces, the degree of rational varieties obtained by blowing-up projective spaces, and the degree of the Stuckrad-Vogel cycles in intersection theory.

An experimental study of the effects of lobed nozzles on installed jet noise
Creators: name: Lyu, Benshuai

Publisher: name: Apollo - University of Cambridge Repository
Year: 2019
Subjects: Research Article

description: Abstract: Jet noise remains a significant aircraft noise contributor, and for modern high-bypass-ratio aero-engines the strong interaction between the jet and aircraft wing leads to intensified installed jet noise. An experiment is carried out in this paper to study the effects of lobed nozzles on installed jet noise. It is found that the lobed nozzles, compared to round nozzles, have similar effects on installed jet noise for all the plate positions and Mach numbers tested. On the shielded side of the plate, the use of lobed nozzles leads to a noise reduction in the intermediate- and high-frequency regimes, which is thought to be due to a combination of enhanced jet mixing and more effective shielding effects by the flat plate. On the reflected side of the plate, noise reduction is only achieved in the intermediate frequency range; the little noise reduction or a slight noise increase observed in the high-frequency regime is likely due to enhanced jet mixing. On both sides of the plates, little noise reduction is achieved for the low-frequency noise due to the scattering of jet instability waves. This is likely to be caused by the fact that lobed nozzles cause negligible change to the dominant mode 0 (axisymmetric) jet instability waves. That the jet mean flow quickly becomes axisymmetric downstream of the jet exit could also play a role. Graphic abstract:

description: We present the first results from an X-ray and optical survey of a sample of AGN radio jets with Chandra and HST. We focus here on the first six sources observed at X-rays, in four of which a bright X-ray jet was detected for the first time. In three out of four cases optical emission from the jet is also detected in our HST images. We compare the X-ray morphology with the radio as derived from improved processing of archival VLA data and we construct spectral energy distributions (SED) for the most conspicuous emission knots. In most cases the SEDs, together with the similarity of the X-ray and radio morphologies, favor an inverse Compton origin of the X-rays. The most likely origin of the seed photons is the Cosmic Microwave Background, implying the jets are still relativistic on kiloparsec scales. However, in the first knot of the PKS 1136-135 jet, X-rays are likely produced via the synchrotron process. In all four cases bulk Lorentz factors of a few are required. The radio maps of the two jets not detected by either Chandra or HST suggest that they are less beamed at large scales than the other four detected sources. Our results demonstrate that, at the sensitivity and resolution of Chandra, X-ray emission from extragalactic jets is common, yielding essential information on their physical properties.

description: We extend the Ori-Thorne-Kesden procedure to consistently describe the non-quasi-circular transition around the ISCO from inspiral to plunge into a black hole of arbitrary spin, including near-extremal. We identify that for moderate or high spins the transition is governed by the Painlevé transcendent equation of the first kind while for extremely high spins it is governed by a self-similar solution to the Korteweg-de Vries equation. We match the transition solution at leading order in the high spin limit with the analytical quasi-circular inspiral in the near-horizon region. We also show that the central black hole of an extreme mass ratio binary has a near-extremality parameter that scales at least as the mass ratio due to superradiant gravitational wave emission, which excludes extremely high spins.

description: Abstract: The nature of defects in amorphous materials, analogous to vacancies and dislocations in crystals, remains elusive. Here, we explore their nature in a three-dimensional microscopic model glass-former that describes granular, colloidal, atomic and molecular glasses by changing the temperature and density. We find that all glasses evolve in a very rough energy landscape, with a hierarchy of barrier sizes corresponding to both localized and delocalized excitations. Collective excitations dominate in the jamming regime relevant for granular and colloidal glasses. By moving gradually to larger densities describing atomic and molecular glasses, the system crosses over to a regime dominated by localized defects and relatively simpler landscapes. We quantify the energy and temperature scales associated to these defects and their evolution with density. Our results pave the way to a systematic study of low-temperature physics in a broad range of physical conditions and glassy materials.
Intermediate Scale Supersymmetric Inflation, Matter and Dark Energy

description: We consider supersymmetric inflation models in which inflation occurs at an intermediate scale and which provide a solution to the $μ$ problem and the strong CP problem. Such models are particularly attractive since inflation, baryogenesis and the relic abundance of cold dark matter are all related by a set of parameters which also affect particle physics collider phenomena, neutrino masses and the strong CP problem. For such models the natural situation is a universe containing matter composed of baryons, massive neutrinos, lightest superpartner cold dark matter, and axions. The present day relic abundances of these different forms of matter are (in principle) calculable from the supersymmetric inflation model together with a measurement of the CMB temperature and the Hubble constant. From these relic abundances one can deduce the amount of the present day dark energy density.

description: A highly accurate method for simulating surfactant-covered droplets in two-dimensional Stokes flow with solid boundaries is presented. The method handles both periodic channel flows of arbitrary shape and stationary solid constrictions. A boundary integral method together with a special quadrature scheme is applied to solve the Stokes equations to high accuracy, also for closely interacting droplets. The problem is considered in a periodic setting and Ewald decompositions for the Stokeslet and stresslet are derived. Computations are accelerated using the spectral Ewald method. The time evolution is handled with a fourth order, adaptive, implicit-explicit time-stepping scheme. The numerical method is tested through several convergence studies and other challenging examples and is shown to handle drops in close proximity both to other drops and solid objects to high accuracy.

description: Solid propellants are energetic materials used to launch and propel rockets and missiles. Although their history dates to the use of black powder more than two millennia ago, greater performance demands and the need for "insensitive munitions" that are resistant to accidental ignition have driven much research and development over the past half-century. The focus of this review is the material aspects of propellants, rather than their performance, with an emphasis on the polymers that serve as binders for oxidizer particles and as fuel for composite propellants. The prevalent modern binders are discussed along with a discussion of the limitations of state-of-the-art modeling of composite motors.

We find that while the stability persists for deformations of spin $l=1$, the quadrupole and higher spin deformations ($l\geq 2$) lead to instabilities. We find the relevant instability modes and the corresponding eigenvalues. These indicate that the ellipsoidal rotating membranes generically decay into finger-like configurations.

description: Abstract: We consider a deformation of the Third Family Hypercharge Model, which arguably makes the model more natural. Additional non-zero charges of the spontaneously broken, family-dependent U(1)F gauge symmetry are assigned to the second family leptons, and the third family leptons’ charges are deformed away from their hypercharges in such a way that the U(1)F gauge symmetry remains anomaly-free. Second family U(1)F lepton charges allow a Z′ coupling to muons without having to assume large charged lepton mixing, which risks violating tight lepton flavour violation bounds. In this deformed version, only the bottom and top Yukawa couplings are generated at the renormalisable level, whereas the tauon Yukawa coupling is absent. The Z′ mediates a beyond the Standard Model contribution to an effective (b¯s)(μ¯μ) vertex in the combination C9=-9C10 and is able to fit the apparent discrepancy between Standard Model predictions in flavour changing neutral-current B-meson decays and their measurements, whilst simultaneously avoiding current constraints from direct Z′ searches and other measurements, when 0.8TeV

description: Neural word representations are at the core of many state-of-the-art natural language processing models. A widely used approach is to pre-train, store and look up word or character embedding matrices. While useful, such representations occupy huge memory making it hard to deploy on-device and often do not generalize to unknown words due to vocabulary pruning. In this paper, we propose a skip-gram based architecture coupled with Locality-Sensitive Hashing (LSH) projections to learn efficient dynamically computable representations. Our model does not need to store lookup tables as representations are computed on-the-fly and require low memory footprint. The representations can be trained in an unsupervised fashion and can be easily transferred to other NLP tasks. For qualitative evaluation, we analyze the nearest neighbors of the word representations and discover semantically similar words even with misspellings. For quantitative evaluation, we plug our transferable projections into a simple LSTM and run it on multiple NLP tasks and show how our transferable projections achieve better performance compared to prior work.

description: Abstract: The features in some machine learning datasets can naturally be divided into groups. This is the case with genomic data, where features can be grouped by chromosome. In many applications it is common for these groupings to be ignored, as interactions may exist between features belonging to different groups. However, including a group that does not influence a response introduces noise when fitting a model, leading to suboptimal predictive accuracy. Here we present two general frameworks for the generation and combination of meta-features when feature groupings are present. Furthermore, we make comparisons to multi-target learning, given that one is typically interested in predicting multiple phenotypes. We evaluated the frameworks and multi-target learning approaches on a genomic rice dataset where the regression task is to predict plant phenotype. Our results demonstrate that there are use cases for both the meta and multi-target approaches, given that overall, they significantly outperform the base case.

description: A detailed study of the planetary nebula NGC6565 has been carried out on long-slit echellograms at six, equally spaced position angles. The expansion velocity field, the c(Hbeta) distribution and the radial profile of the physical conditions (electron temperature and density) are obtained. The distance, radius, mass and filling factor of the nebula and the temperature and luminosity of the central star are derived. The radial ionization structure is analyzed using both the classical method and the photo-ionization code CLOUDY. Moreover, we present the spatial structure in a series of images from different directions. NGC6565 is a young (2000--2500 years), patchy, optically thick triaxial ellipsoid projected almost pole-on. The matter close to major axis was swept-up by some accelerating agent forming two faint and asymmetric polar cups. A large cocoon of almost neutral gas completely embeds the ionized nebula. NGC6565 is in a recombination phase. The stellar decline started about 1000 years ago, but the main nebula remained optically thin for other 600 years before the recombination phase occurred. In the near future the ionization front will re-grow, since the dilution factor due to the expansion will prevail on the slower and slower stellar decline. NGC6565 is at a distance of 2.0(+-0.5) Kpc and can be divided into three radial zones: the ``fully ionized'' one, extending up to 0.029--0.035 pc at the equator (0.050 pc at the poles), the ``transition'' one, up to 0.048--0.054 pc (0.080 pc), the ``halo'', detectable up to 0.110 pc. The ionized mass (~0.03 Modot) is only a fraction of the total mass (> 0.15 Modot), which has been ejected by an equatorial enhanced superwind of 4(+-2)x10^(-5) Modot/yr lasted for 4(+-2)x10^3 years.

description: In recent years, as North American farmland prices have continued to rise, a number of North American public farmland investment trusts have been formed to offer investors a liquid and marketable farmland investment vehicle. How risky are these farmland REITs? This paper compares the investment risk with other popular investment options such as bonds, stocks, gold, oil and real estate using several well-known and accepted methods of risk analysis, including overall yield variance, CAPM, Value at Risk (VAR), and Drawdown. North American Farmland REIT has less risk than gold, oil, REITs and stock markets.

description: Two-thirds of rural counties in the United States lost population from 2000 to 2010. At the same time, consumers are changing the way they like to receive bank products and services. With many in the younger generation having smart phones, the need to step inside a bank facility is almost nonexistent. When those two trends are combined with additional costs associated with recently passed bank regulations, there will initially be a negative impact on the profitability of agricultural banks and ultimately on the ability of those banks to continue to serve those counties.
