description: In the frame of a well established lattice gas model for granular compaction, we investigate the high intensity tapping regime where a pile expands significantly during external excitation. We find that this model shows the same general trends as more sophisticated models based on molecular dynamic type simulations. In particular, a minimum in packing fraction as a function of tapping strength is observed in the reversible branch of an annealed tapping protocol.

description: We study the tunneling of Bogoliubov excitations through a barrier in a Bose-Einstein condensate. We extend our previous work [Phys. Rev. A \textbf{78}, 013628 (2008)] to the case when condensate densities are different between the left and right of the barrier potential. In the framework of the Bogoliubov mean-field theory, we calculate the transmission probability and phase shift, as well as the energy flux and quasiparticle current carried by Bogoliubov excitations. We find that Bogoliubov phonons twist the condensate phase due to a back-reaction effect, which induces the Josephson supercurrent. While the total current given by the sum of quasiparticle current and induced supercurrent is conserved, the quasiparticle current flowing through the barrier potential is shown to be remarkably enhanced in the low energy region. When the condensate densities are different between the left and right of the barrier, the excess quasiparticle current, as well as the induced supercurrent, remains finite far away from the barrier. We also consider the tunneling of excitations and atoms through the boundary between the normal and superfluid regions. We show that supercurrent can be generated inside the condensate by injecting free atoms from outside. On the other hand, atoms are emitted when the Bogoliubov phonons propagate toward the phase boundary from the superfluid region.

Representation of permutation operators in quantum mechanics
Creators: name: Seagraves, Paul Henry
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: A simple method is presented for writing the matrix elements of transposition operators for discrete sets of quantum numbers. A proper product of these leads to easy computation of general permutation operators. It is shown how these operators may be constructed with operators defined in angular momentum space. Results agree with Dirac for transposition of two particles of spin ½ and with Kaempffer for spin 1. The calculations are performed to extend the results to spin 3/2 and 2 along with alternate representations. Special considerations are required for fermion creation and annihilation operators.

Driven by a substantial magneto-elastic coupling, this result provides evidence for an electronic origin of the lattice distortion in underdoped iron pnictides. The observed anisotropy in these partially detwinned samples implies a substantial in-plane electronic anisotropy in the broken symmetry state, with a smaller resistivity along the antiferromagnetic ordering direction.

Cusp-core problem and strong gravitational lensing

description: Cosmological numerical simulations of galaxy formation have led to the cuspy density profile of a pure cold dark matter halo toward the center, which is in sharp contradiction with the observations of the rotation curves of cold dark matter-dominated dwarf and low surface brightness disk galaxies, with the latter tending to favor mass profiles with a flat central core. Many efforts have been devoted to resolve this cusp-core problem in recent years, among them, baryon-cold dark matter interactions are considered to be the main physical mechanisms erasing the cold dark matter (CDM) cusp into a flat core in the centers of all CDM halos. Clearly, baryon-cold dark matter interactions are not customized only for CDM-dominated disk galaxies, but for all types, including giant ellipticals. We first fit the most recent high resolution observations of rotation curves with the Burkert profile, then use the constrained core size-halo mass relation to calculate the lensing frequency, and compare the predicted results with strong lensing observations. Unfortunately, it turns out that the core size constrained from rotation curves of disk galaxies cannot be extrapolated to giant ellipticals. We conclude that, in the standard cosmological paradigm, baryon-cold dark matter interactions are not universal mechanisms for galaxy formation, and therefore, they cannot be true solutions to the cusp-core problem.

Chinese vs. US Trade in an Emerging Country: The Impact of Trade Openness in Chile

description: This paper explores the effects of import competition on the manufacturing sector in Chile following the implementation of the country’s two largest Free Trade Agreements (FTA) (with the USA and China). Exploiting cross-industry variation in import exposure, we analyse the effects on manufacturing sales, employment and labour productivity at the finest level of industrial classification (4 digit ISIC level). We detect an overall negative effect of increased Chinese import penetration, owing to substitution effects from low and medium tech imports and a less pronounced effect from USA imports. By introducing interaction effects, we find that the levels of foreign ownership and the export intensity of the domestic industries reverse the negative effect due to the opportunities offered via participation in global value chains. An IV strategy is applied to address standard endogeneity concerns and confirm the robustness of our estimates.
Regularized adaptive long autoregressive spectral analysis

description: This paper is devoted to adaptive long autoregressive spectral analysis when (i) very few data are available, (ii) information does exist beforehand concerning the spectral smoothness and time continuity of the analyzed signals. The contribution is founded on two papers by Kitagawa and Gersch. The first one deals with spectral smoothness, in the regularization framework, while the second one is devoted to time continuity, in the Kalman formalism. The present paper proposes an original synthesis of the two contributions: a new regularized criterion is introduced that takes both information into account. The criterion is efficiently optimized by a Kalman smoother. One of the major features of the method is that it is entirely unsupervised: the problem of automatically adjusting the hyperparameters that balance data-based versus prior-based information is solved by maximum likelihood. The improvement is quantified in the field of meteorological radar.

description: Short-run income shocks can negatively impact school attendance when children are pulled out in order to work, either based on the need for greater income during negative shocks or the increased opportunity cost of child time during positive shocks. This paper proxies for income shocks using fluctuations in local rainfall and evaluates its impact on child schooling, labour force participation, and domestic work. We then investigate whether conditional cash transfers are able to protect school attendance during these temporary shocks. Using data on Brazil’s Bolsa Família programme along with municipal-level rainfall data, we find that positive rainfall shocks cause children to increase the likelihood of paid labour but Bolsa partially mitigates these effects, though less so among boys and older children. Furthermore, we find evidence that even when children do not drop out of school during these shocks, Bolsa may not fully maintain their intensity of school attendance and shocks may hinder academic progress. These results suggest that higher wages cause children to substitute time away from schooling, but that Bolsa acts as a partial safety net that stabilises human capital investments during short-run shocks and may help produce larger long-run benefits.
A study of endogenous respiration in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Creators: name: Gronlund, Audrey Florence
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The nature of the reserves of Pseudomonas aeruginosa that are oxidized during endogenous respiration was studied by following the changes in the chemical constituents and in the distribution of radioactivity of starving cells that had been grown on C¹⁴-labeled substrates. The total protein and nucleic acid of cell suspensions decreased during starvation. Deoxyribonucleic acid increased slightly, whereas ribonucleic acid decreased. C¹⁴O₂ was evolved from endogenously respiring cells specifically labeled in the nucleic acid fraction and from cells specifically labeled in the protein fraction. Chemical fractionation of C¹⁴-labeled cells showed a decrease in hot trichloroacetic acid-soluble and insoluble compounds, indicating that the C¹⁴O₂ arose from the degradation of RNA and protein and not from free pool compounds. A decrease in ribosomal RNA and protein was evident from physical fractionations of starved labeled cells. An enzyme responsible for the initiation of ribosomal degradation was found to be associated with the ribosome fraction and was identified as polynucleotide phosphorylase. The enzyme was inactive in high magnesium concentrations but was active under conditions which allowed the dissociation of the large ribosomal units into 50S and 30S components. Polynucleotide phosphorylase was not solubilized by the dissociation of the 70S ribosomes but remained firmly attached to the 50S subunit. The oxidation of exogenous substrates resulted in varying degrees of suppression of the oxidation of endogenous RNA and this suppression was attributed to the relative stabilizing effect that the exogenous substrates exerted on the ribosomes. The oxidation of endogenous protein was depressed during the oxidation of exogenous glucose, aspartic acid and adenosine and was increased during the oxidation of α-ketoglutaric acid. The response of endogenous respiration to the oxidation of exogenous substrates appeared to be related to a requirement for ammonium ions for assimilation of carbon.

description: Once a firm enters a foreign market, its productivity should increase thanks to the exposure to new knowledge and experience abroad. We test this hypothesis of ‘learning-by-exporting’ by scrutinising export experience while controlling for self-selection effect. To measure learning, previous studies rely on productivity before- and after exporting, or on previous export participation, and so do not consider the evolving experience of exporting firms. In contrast, we use ‘export age’ – the number of years a firm is engaged in exporting activities. Based on Indonesian firm-level data from 2000 to 2012, we find that exporter’s productivity increases with export age, but the effect decreases once the firm becomes more experienced. Such effect is larger for relatively bigger firms and for those in certain industries in the footloose, capital-intensive sectors, such as motor vehicles and chemicals production. A policy implication of our study is that easier export procedure and access to information about foreign markets will be beneficial for firms, especially the new exporters.

description: This study presents the first micro-level analysis of the causal effect of Chinese import penetration on firm productivity in 24 sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) countries. We make key contributions to the literature by examining the heterogeneous effects of Chinese imports on firm productivity using data on transport infrastructure, and by distinguishing between import competition and import of intermediate inputs. Two instrumental variables, one based on exogenous geographic characteristic of ports and transportation technology shock, and the other based on a supply-side shock, are constructed to address the endogeneity of import penetration. The results indicate that imports from China impact positively on firm productivity, mainly through imports of intermediate inputs, and there is significant heterogeneity of these effects in terms of firms’ proximity to ports and initial productivity level. Overall, our findings suggest that Chinese imports could be viewed as an opportunity for Sub-Sahara Africa firms to enhance their productivity. Furthermore, they highlight the need for developing countries to invest in transport infrastructure to effectively promote firms participation in international markets.
Star Formation in Dwarf Galaxies of the Nearby Centaurus A Group

description: We present Halpha narrow-band imaging of 17 dwarf irregular galaxies (dIs) in the nearby Centaurus A Group. Although all large galaxies of the group have a current or recent enhanced star formation episode, the dIs have normal star formation rates and do not contain a larger fraction of dwarf starbursts than other nearby groups. Relative distances between dIs and larger galaxies of the group can be computed in 3D since most of them have now fairly accurately known distances. We find that the dI star formation rates do not depend on local environment, and in particular they do not show any correlation with the distance of the dI to the nearest large galaxy of the group. There is a clear morphology-density relation in the Centaurus A Group, similarly to the Sculptor and Local Groups, in the sense that dEs/dSphs tend to be at small distances from the more massive galaxies of the group, while dIs are on average at larger distances. We find four transition dwarfs in the Group, dwarfs that show characteristics of both dE/dSphs and dIs, and which contain cold gas but no current star formation. Interestingly the transition dwarfs have an average distance to the more massive galaxies which is intermediate between those of the dEs/dSphs and dIs, and which is quite large: 0.54 +- 0.31 Mpc. This large distance poses some difficulty for the most popular scenarios proposed for transforming a dI into a dE/dSph (ram-pressure with tidal stripping or galaxy harassment). If the observed transition dwarfs are indeed missing links between dIs and dE/dSphs, their relative isolation makes it less likely to have been produced by these mechanisms. We propose that an inhomogeneous IGM containing higher density clumps would be able to ram-pressure stripped the dIs at such large distances.

The influence of native fatty acids on the formation of glue bonds with heat-treated wood
Creators: name: Hancock, William Vollor
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The underlying cause was sought for "inactivation", a heat-induced change in the surface of veneer that inhibits diffusion of moisture into the wood. It was demonstrated, by the use of Douglas fir wood, that the formation of an inactivated surface could be prevented by extraction with certain organic solvents, but not with water, either before or after the wood was dried. When the extractable materials were removed, or were originally absent, no specimen examined showed degradation, through the effect of heat, of the potential for forming strong glue bonds. The frequently postulated statement related to formation of ether linkages from hydroxyl groups, in heated wood, was found to be not correct. Although oxidation had been suggested as a contributing factor, inactivated surfaces were prepared in the absence of oxygen in anything but minute amounts. Veneer was collected from Coastal and Interior type Douglas fir trees that exhibited severe, moderate or no susceptibility to the development of inactivation. Representative samples were extracted with simple alkanes and a complete separation of the various components carried out, using the techniques of gas/liquid, paper and thin-layer chromatography. Qualitative variability was found, between and within trees. Strong correlation was found between the formation of an inactivated surface and the presence of saturated fatty acids with carbon-chain lengths in excess of eighteen atoms. The role of long-carbon-chain, saturated fatty acids as the causal agent of inactivation was substantiated by the application of commercially-prepared acids, of various chain lengths, to veneer that had proven insusceptible. When heated, this veneer developed an inactivated surface. A theory was proposed, based on the work described in this thesis, and the information available in the literature, to explain the mechanism of surface modification. It states that removal of some or all of the last molecular layer of water from the wood surface, and the application of heat, permits the saturated long-chain fatty acids to hydrogen-bond with the hydroxyl groups contained in the wood cellulose. The surface of the wood is then shielded by a hydrocarbon layer with very low free surface energy that is not- readily wet-table by the water contained in applied glue.
Kinetic equations for systems with long-range interactions: a unified description
Creators: name: Chavanis, Pierre-Henri
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We complete the existing literature on the kinetic theory of systems with long-range interactions. Starting from the BBGKY hierarchy, or using projection operator technics or a quasilinear theory, a general kinetic equation can be derived when collective effects are neglected. This equation (which is not well-known) applies to possibly spatially inhomogeneous systems, which is specific to systems with long-range interactions. Interestingly, the structure of this kinetic equation bears a clear physical meaning in terms of generalized Kubo relations. Furthermore, this equation takes a very similar form for stellar systems and two-dimensional point vortices providing therefore a unified description of the kinetic theory of these systems. If we assume that the system is spatially homogeneous (or axisymmetric for point vortices), this equation can be simplified and reduces to the Landau equation (or its counterpart for point vortices). Our formalism thus offers a simple derivation of Landau-type equations. We also use this general formalism to derive a kinetic equation, written in angle-action variables, describing spatially inhomogeneous systems with long-range interactions. This new derivation solves the shortcomings of our previous derivation [P.H. Chavanis, Physica A 377, 469 (2007)]. Finally, we consider a test particle approach and derive general expressions for the diffusion and friction (or drift) coefficients of a test particle evolving in a bath of field particles. We make contact with the expressions previously obtained in the literature. As an application of the kinetic theory, we argue that the relaxation time is shorter for inhomogeneous (or high-dimensional) systems than for homogeneous (or low-dimensional) systems because there are potentially more resonances.

description: This study investigates the effectiveness of using a language model, ChatGPT, for predicting the number of political violence events in Brazil. The study utilized data from a publicly available dataset on political violence events in Brazil and COVID-19 data to train and test two models of random forests, one created manually and the other generated by ChatGPT. The results show that the ChatGPT model had a slightly higher root mean squared error than the manually generated random forest model, but the difference was small. Furthermore, the density plot of the predicted number of events from the two models showed that the manual model had a higher density around the median, and a lower overall density range, suggesting that it may be better suited for predicting average or typical events. The study also explored the relationship between COVID-19 cases and deaths and the number of political violence events, finding a somewhat positive correlation between the two variables, which the study touches on briefly. These results suggest that the COVID-19 pandemic may have impacted political violence events in Brazil, and further research is needed to explore this relationship. Overall, the study shows that ChatGPT can be an effective tool for predicting the number of political violence events in Brazil and has the potential to be used in other areas of international relations, such as treaty creation, translation, negotiation assistance, and code-generating prediction. The study is, to my knowledge, the first of its kind in analyzing the possibilities of AI and Chatbots, in international relations.

description: Additive manufacturing (AM) has opened new possibilities in many disciplines. Complex geometries can now be created from a variety of materials and material compositions that were previously unimaginable. As a result, there is also the potential for customization and personalization for each user. The present paper and the related research provide insight into the possibilities to further process glass by additive manufacturing methods and thereby exploring the potential for the built environment. This research focuses on developing AM glass components to be used as point fixings for flat glass elements. The innovative laser glass deposition printing process (LGD), developed by Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V., involves locally heating fused silica glass fibres with a CO2-laser, enabling precise deposition of viscose glass on substrates of the same material. In order to implement the LGD process in glass facades an examination of the component is required. This paper introduces a series of mechanical examination techniques, such as indentation and bending tests. The results derived from the testing are the foundation for a parameter study in order to develop a button shaped point fixing for glass facades.

description: In this paper, tooth-shaped and multiple-teeth-shaped plasmonic filters in the metal-insulator-metal (MIM) waveguides are demonstrated numerically. By introducing a three-port waveguide splitter, a modified model based on the multiple-beam-interference and the scattering matrix is given. The ransmittance spectrum as a function of teeth width, depth, period and period number are respectively addressed. The result shows the new structure not only performs the filtering function as well as MIM grating-like structures, but also is of submicrometer size for ultra-high integration and relatively easy fabrication.

description: This study proposed a proof-of-concept methodology for the investigation of paper samples by utilizing ATR-FTIR spectroscopy supported by chemometric methods. An attempt on the analysis of aged writing papers due to the degradation of their chemical constituents with time has been made. The degradation of its constituents with time is directly linked to the age of the paper since its production. This further links the questioned document with the fraudster, and sometimes it becomes crucial information in the court of law to reach to conclusion. The present study offers a method to discriminate, and estimate the age of unknown writing paper. The statistical models like Curve Estimation (CE), multiple linear regressions (MLR), and partial least squares regression (PLSR), are built to predict the age of the papers. The maximum dating errors are in the CE model whereas, MLR and PLSR models show excellent age estimation of unknown paper with minimum error of ±5 days and ±3 days in actual and estimated date of artificial ageing respectively. The present methodology is expected to provide valuable insight for answering the queries related to the date/age of the suspected document documents/paper artefacts.

description: The annual Omnibus Household Survey (OHS), administered by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), asks respondents about their weekly travel habits, journey to work, opinions about the transportation system, and other related issues. Presented here are a few of the key findings from the November 2006 and 2007 surveys: although nearly half of the 18- to 34-year-old survey respondents would allow in-flight cell phone use if deemed safe, less than 30% of respondents age 65 or older shared that opinion, about 2 out of 5 U.S. workers who reported their commute as moderately to very congested also reported that congestion had gotten worse over the 12 months preceding the survey, less than 3 of 10 workers who feel they could telecommute actually do, the majority of workers use their personal vehicle to commute alone to work, about 2 out of 5 public transit passengers used transit at least 5 days a week, and over 90 percent of airline passengers were satisfied with the amount of time taken to get through security check points.
Remark on quantum mechanics with N=2 Schrodinger supersymmetry

description: A unitary transformation which relates a many-body quantum mechanics with N=2 Schrodinger supersymmetry to a set of decoupled superparticles is proposed. The simplification in dynamics is achieved at a price of a nonlocal realization of the full N=2 Schrodinger superalgebra in a Hilbert space. The transformation is shown to be universal and applicable to conformal many-body models confined in a harmonic trap.

description: Since water is both a product and a common reactant impurity in the (partial) methanol oxidation to methyl formate (MeFo) on gold, its effect on the isothermal selectivity to methyl formate was investigated under well-defined single-collision conditions employing pulsed molecular beam experiments and in situ IRAS measurements. Both a flat Au(111) and a stepped Au(332) surface were used as model catalysts to elucidate how water affects the reactivity of low-coordinated step sites as compared to (111) terrace sites employing a range of reaction conditions. The interactions of water with methanol/methoxy as well as with oxygen species are addressed. Theoretical calculations, including static DFT and ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations, are employed to enhance the microscopic understanding of water-induced changes in the oxygen species and overoxidation reactivity on gold, which are essential for the selectivity. The results provide not only information on conditions that mitigate the generally negative effect of water on methyl formate formation but also atomic-level insights into water-induced changes in the complex reaction network that governs the reactivity in applied gold catalysts, such as nanoporous gold.
Non classical velocity statistics in a turbulent atomic Bose Einstein condensate

description: In a recent experiment Paoletti et al (Phys. Rev. Lett. 101, 154501, 2008) monitored the motion of tracer particles in turbulent superfluid helium and inferred that the velocity components do not obey the Gaussian statistics observed in ordinary turbulence. Motivated by their experiment, we create a small turbulent state in an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate, which enables us to compute directly the velocity field, and we find similar non-classical power-law tails. Our result thus suggests that non-Gaussian turbulent velocity statistics describe a fundamental property of quantum fluids. We also track the decay of the vortex tangle in the presence of the thermal cloud.

Harmonizing duties of board members in the anthropocene : when expectations meet reality

description: The article confronts the European Commission’s climate policy-seconded endeavors regarding board members’ duties which it has expressed in its proposal for a Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD Proposal) published in February 2022 with a comparative analysis of the current legal state of play in Germany and Poland. We claim that the Commission has neglected to adequately address the current understanding of board members’ duties across the Member States, which has ultimately led to the deletion of the Proposals’ provisions’ referring to the board members’ duty of care in the legislative work conducted within the Council of the European Union in November 2022. There is a possibility that these provisions (Art. 25 and 26 CSDDD Proposal) will be reinserted during the trialogue, but this is unlikely at this point. Notably, the Commission’s declaration on a mere clarifying role of the proposed harmonization measure regarding board members’ duties seems imprecise and prompts a weak interpretation of the proposed provisions, which contradicts the proclaimed policy goals. Germany might serve as an example of a Member State in which implementing the Commission’s understanding of the board members’ duty of care would not have significantly modified national company law, regardless of the interpretation chosen for the depth of the provision. If, however, a strong or medium mode of interpretation was applicable, Poland would actually be obliged to amend its legal framework fundamentally. Therefore, we contend that the legislative work on the discussed proposal was tainted by the flawed presumption that the proposed harmonization measure would merely summarize existing rules for board members’ duties. Based on the observations from our emblematic comparative juxtaposition, we argue that the idiosyncratic concepts of board members’ duties across Member States have not been sufficiently recognized as a harmonization challenge by the Commission. We contend that these methodological deficiencies led to an inconclusive wording of Article 25 of the Commission’s proposal and ultimately created an insurmountable barrier to political agreement within the Council and the “fall” of the complete concept of setting a standard of due care for board members in the proposed directive. Consequently, we claim that when jostling such a controversial and deep harmonization measure, the Commission must play its legislative A-game to have a shot at approval by the Council and later effective implementation by the Member States.
