Quantification of nuclear uncertainties in nucleosynthesis of elements beyond Iron

description: Nucleosynthesis beyond Fe poses additional challenges not encountered when studying astrophysical processes involving light nuclei. Generally higher temperatures and nuclear level densities lead to stronger contributions of transitions on excited target states. This may prevent cross section measurements to determine stellar reaction rates and theory contributions remain important. Furthermore, measurements often are not feasible in the astrophysically relevant energy range. Sensitivity analysis allows not only to determine the contributing nuclear properties but also is a handy tool for experimentalists to interpret the impact of their data on predicted cross sections and rates. It can also speed up future input variation studies of nucleosynthesis by simplifying an intermediate step in the full calculation sequence. Large-scale predictions of sensitivities and ground-state contributions to the stellar rates are presented, allowing an estimate of how well rates can be directly constrained by experiment. The reactions 185W(n,gamma) and 186W(gamma,n) are discussed as application examples. Studies of uncertainties in abundances predicted in nucleosynthesis simulations rely on the knowledge of reaction rate errors. An improved treatment of uncertainty analysis is presented as well as a recipe for combining experimental data and theory to arrive at a new reaction rate and its uncertainty. As an example, it is applied to neutron capture rates for the s-process, leading to larger uncertainties than previously assumed.

description: The Newman-Penrose formalism is used to derive the Teukolsky master equations controlling massless scalar, neutrino, electromagnetic, gravitino, and gravitational field perturbations of the Kerr-de Sitter spacetime. Then the quantum entropy of a non-extreme Kerr-de Sitter black hole due to arbitrary spin fields is calculated by the improved thin-layer brick wall model. It is shown that the subleading order contribution to the entropy is dependent on the square of the spins of particles and that of the specific angular momentum of black holes as well as the cosmological constant. The logarithmic correction of the spins of particles to the entropy relies on the rotation of the black hole and the effect of the cosmological constant.

description: Traditionally, single realizations of the turbulent state have been the object of study in shear flow turbulence. When a statistical quantity was needed it was obtained from a spatial, temporal or ensemble average of sample realizations of the turbulence. However, there are important advantages to studying the dynamics of the statistical state (the SSD) directly. In highly chaotic systems statistical quantities are often the most useful and the advantage of obtaining these statistics directly from a state variable is obvious. Moreover, quantities such as the probability density function (pdf) are often difficult to obtain accurately by sampling state trajectories even if the pdf is stationary. In the event that the pdf is time dependent, solving directly for the pdf as a state variable is the only alternative. However, perhaps the greatest advantage of the SSD approach is conceptual: adopting this perspective reveals directly the essential cooperative mechanisms among the disparate spatial and temporal scales that underly the turbulent state. While these cooperative mechanisms have distinct manifestation in the dynamics of realizations of turbulence both these cooperative mechanisms and the phenomena associated with them are not amenable to analysis directly through study of realizations as they are through the study of the associated SSD. In this review a selection of example problems in the turbulence of planetary and laboratory flows is examined using recently developed SSD analysis methods in order to illustrate the utility of this approach to the study of turbulence in shear flow.

description: In the context of FRW spacetime with zero spatial curvature, we consider a multi-scalar tensor cosmology model under the pretext of obtaining quadratic conservation laws. We propose two new interaction potentials of the scalar field. Integral to this task, is the existence of dynamical Noether symmetries which are Lie-Bäcklund transformations of the physical system. Finally, analytical solutions of the field are found corresponding to each new model. In one of the models, we find that the scale factor mimics $Λ$-cosmology in a special case.

description: The spatial and temporal relationships between stellar age, kinematics, and chemistry are a fundamental tool for uncovering the physics driving galaxy formation and evolution. Observationally, these trends are derived using carefully selected samples isolated via the application of appropriate magnitude, colour, and gravity selection functions of individual stars; conversely, the analysis of chemodynamical simulations of galaxies has traditionally been restricted to the age, metallicity, and kinematics of `composite' stellar particles comprised of open cluster-mass simple stellar populations. As we enter the Gaia era, it is crucial that this approach changes, with simulations confronting data in a manner which better mimics the methodology employed by observers. Here, we use the \textsc{SynCMD} synthetic stellar populations tool to analyse the metallicity distribution function of a Milky Way-like simulated galaxy, employing an apparent magnitude plus gravity selection function similar to that employed by the RAdial Velocity Experiment (RAVE); we compare such an observationally-motivated approach with that traditionally adopted - i.e., spatial cuts alone - in order to illustrate the point that how one analyses a simulation can be, in some cases, just as important as the underlying sub-grid physics employed.

description: Let M and N be n-dimensional connected orientable finite-volume hyperbolic manifolds with geodesic boundary, and let f be a given isomorphism between the fundamental groups of M and N. We study the problem whether there exists an isometry between M and N which induces f. We show that this is always the case if the dimension of M and N is at least four, while in the three-dimensional case the existence of an isometry inducing f is proved under some (necessary) additional conditions on f. Such conditions are trivially satisfied if the boundaries of M and N are both compact.

Our comprehensive structural studies using synchrotron X-ray diffraction experiments clarified that vanadium trimers are randomly aligned along the c-axis direction in LiVO2, while the long-range ordering of vanadium trimers along the c-axis direction appears in LiVS2. Our results solve the longstanding issue of cluster patterns in LiVO2 and provide an experimental basis for identifying the mechanism of trimer formation.

However, even if both domains are attracting basins, the Julia set need not be a quasicircle. We also show that all critical and asymptotic values are contained in the two completely invariant components. This need not be the case for functions with infinitely many critical and asymptotic values.

Application of axiomatic formal theory to the Abraham--Minkowski controversy

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Optics (physics.optics)

description: We treat continuum electrodynamics as an axiomatic formal theory based on the macroscopic Maxwell--Minkowski equations applied to a thermodynamically closed system consisting of an antireflection-coated block of a simple linear dielectric material situated in free-space that is illuminated by a quasimonochromatic field. We prove that valid theorems of the formal theory of Maxwellian continuum electrodynamics are inconsistent with conservation laws for the inviscid incoherent flow of non-interacting particles (photons) in the continuum limit (light field) in the absence of external forces, pressures, or constraints. We also show that valid theorems of Maxwellian continuum electrodynamics are contradicted by the refractive index-independent Lorentz factor of von Laue's application of Einstein's special relativity to a dielectric medium. Obviously, the fundamental physical principles in the vacuum are not affected. However, the extant theoretical treatments of electrodynamics, special relativity, and energy--momentum conservation must be regarded as being mutually inconsistent in a simple linear dielectric in which the effective speed of light is $c/n$. Having proven that the established applications of fundamental physical principles to dielectric materials lead to mutually inconsistent theories, we derive, from first principles, a mutually consistent, alternative theoretical treatment of electrodynamics, special relativity, and energy--momentum conservation in an isotropic, homogeneous, linear dielectric-filled, flat, non-Minkowski, continuous material spacetime.
Representation rings of Lie superalgebras

description: Given a Lie superalgebra \g, we introduce several variants of the representation ring, built as subrings and quotients of the ring R_{\Z_2}(\g) of virtual \g-supermodules (up to even isomorphisms). In particular, we consider the ideal R_{+}(\g) of virtual \g-supermodules isomorphic to their own parity reversals, as well as an equivariant K-theoretic super representation ring SR(\g) on which the parity reversal operator takes the class of a virtual \g-supermodule to its negative. We also construct representation groups built from ungraded \g-modules, as well as degree-shifted representation groups using Clifford modules. The full super representation ring SR^{*}(\g), including all degree shifts, is then a \Z_{2}-graded ring in the complex case and a \Z_{8}-graded ring in the real case. Our primary result is a six-term periodic exact sequence relating the rings R^{*}_{\Z_2}(\g), R^{*}_{+}(\g), and SR^{*}(\g). We first establish a version of it working over an arbitrary (not necessarily algebraically closed) field of characteristic 0. In the complex case, this six-term periodic long exact sequence splits into two three-term sequences, which gives us additional insight into the structure of the complex super representation ring SR^{*}(\g). In the real case, we obtain the expected 24-term version, as well as a surprising six-term version of this periodic exact sequence.

description: The toric residue is a map depending on n+1 semi-ample divisors on a complete toric variety of dimension n. It appears in a variety of contexts such as sparse polynomial systems, mirror symmetry, and GKZ hypergeometric functions. In this paper we investigate the problem of finding an explicit element whose toric residue is equal to one. Such an element is shown to exist if and only if the associated polytopes are essential. We reduce the problem to finding a collection of partitions of the lattice points in the polytopes satisfying a certain combinatorial property. We use this description to solve the problem when n=2 and for any n when the polytopes of the divisors share a complete flag of faces. The latter generalizes earlier results when the divisors were all ample.

Note on nonequilibrium stationary states and entropy

description: In transformations between nonequilibrium stationary states, entropy might be a not well defined concept. It might be analogous to the ``heat content'' in transformations in equilibrium which is not well defined either, if they are not isochoric ({\it i.e.} do involve mechanical work). Hence we conjecture that un a nonequilbrium stationary state the entropy is just a quantity that can be transferred or created, like heat in equilibrium, but has no physical meaning as ``entropy content'' as a property of the system.

description: Time-Correlated Single Photon Counting (TCSPC) and time tagging of individual photon detections are powerful tools in many quantum optical experiments and other areas of applied physics. Using TCSPC, e.g., for the purpose of fluorescence lifetime measurements, is often limited in speed due to dead-time losses and pile-up. We show that this limitation can be lifted by reducing the dead-time of the timing electronics to the absolute minimum imposed by the speed of the detector signals while maintaining high temporal resolution. A complementing approach to speedy data acquisition is parallelization by means of simultaneous readout of many detector channels. This puts high demands on the data throughput of the TCSPC system, especially in time tagging of individual photon arrivals. Here, we present a new design approach, supporting up to 16 input channels, an extremely short dead-time of 650 ps, very high time tagging throughput, and a timing resolution of 80 ps. In order to facilitate remote synchronization of multiple such instruments with highest precision, the new TCSPC electronics provide an interface for White Rabbit fiber optic networks. Beside fundamental research in the field of astronomy, such remote synchronization tasks arise routinely in quantum communication networks with node to node distances on the order of tens of kilometers. In addition to showing design features and benchmark results of new TCSPC electronics, we present application results from spectrally resolved and high-speed fluorescence lifetime imaging in medical research. We furthermore show how pulse-pile-up occurring in the detector signals at high photon flux can be corrected for and how this data acquisition scheme performs in terms of accuracy and efficiency.

title: Developing a design methodology for the construction of hypertext and hypermedia, with particular reference to hypertext electronic prospectuses
Creators: name: Kemp, Robert Urquhart
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1997

description: Use and development of hypertext-based documents is becoming more widespread in both industry and die academic world. This has obvious implications for the design of hypertext documents. The hypertext designer has been relatively ignored until recently, with attention largely focused on the quality of the hypertext rather than support for the designer. Recent hypertext design methodologies, such as that described by Isakowitz et al. (1995) have made a useful contribution, but are oriented towards designers with a background in computing science and related professions. This research addresses this problem by the development of a design methodology which is intended to be accessible to the general author. The design methodology was based on three sources of data: a taxonomy of existing design guidance, including a range of principles and guidelines and previous design methodologies for hypertext; hypertext versions of a higher education college prospectus, and a case study of a CD-ROM higher education prospectus. This material was assembled and synthesised to produce a provisional design methodology that is positioned between existing design methodologies such as Relationship Management Methodology (Isakowitz et al 1995) and Object-Oriented Hypermedia Design Method (Schwabe et al 1995), which are influenced by software engineering and database design concepts, and other less formal descriptions of the hypertext design process. The design methodology supports and encourages iterative methods of working, and includes supporting documentation and pro formas designed to encourage a thorough approach to hypertext design.

description: The maximum entropy method (MEM) is a well known deconvolution technique in radio-interferometry. This method solves a non-linear optimization problem with an entropy regularization term. Other heuristics such as CLEAN are faster but highly user dependent. Nevertheless, MEM has the following advantages: it is unsupervised, it has a statistical basis, it has a better resolution and better image quality under certain conditions. This work presents a high performance GPU version of non-gridding MEM, which is tested using real and simulated data. We propose a single-GPU and a multi-GPU implementation for single and multi-spectral data, respectively. We also make use of the Peer-to-Peer and Unified Virtual Addressing features of newer GPUs which allows to exploit transparently and efficiently multiple GPUs. Several ALMA data sets are used to demonstrate the effectiveness in imaging and to evaluate GPU performance. The results show that a speedup from 1000 to 5000 times faster than a sequential version can be achieved, depending on data and image size. This allows to reconstruct the HD142527 CO(6-5) short baseline data set in 2.1 minutes, instead of 2.5 days that takes a sequential version on CPU.

description: We investigate the stability of self-gravitating spherically symmetric anisotropic spheres under radial perturbations. We consider both the Newtonian and the full general-relativistic perturbation treatment. In the general-relativistic case, we extend the variational formalism for spheres with isotropic pressure developed by Chandrasekhar. We find that, in general, when the tangential pressure is greater than the radial pressure, the stability of the anisotropic sphere is enhanced when compared to isotropic configurations. In particular, anisotropic spheres are found to be stable for smaller values of the adiabatic index $γ$.

description: This paper explores behavioural changes resulting from the presence of a back- ground risk. Due to markets incompleteness, not all risks are insurable. The lit- erature suggests that, according to the structure of preferences, agents bearing a background uninsurable risk are less willing to bear other insurable risks and in- crease their demand for insurance. The empirical evidence of this eect is limited and, despite the relevance of this question, unexplored in developing countries. This paper lls this gap. It explores the eect of a background risk on the decision to buy health insurance using household data from the Palestinian Territories. We consider the risk of food insecurity as a background uninsurable risk. Using a bivariate pro- bit model, we nd that the propensity to buy health insurance is positively aected by the presence of a background risk of food insecurity. When allowing the back- ground risk to vary in intensity, we nd that the propensity to insure is higher as the background risk becomes more intense. These results are robust to alternative indicators of background risk. The study shows that, in presence of background risks, there might be incentive changes towards the desirability of insurance that have implications for policy design.

Nonlinear theory of a "shear-current" effect and mean-field magnetic dynamos

description: The nonlinear theory of a "shear-current" effect in a nonrotating and nonhelical homogeneous turbulence with an imposed mean velocity shear is developed. The ''shear-current" effect is associated with the $\bar{\bf W} {\bf \times} \bar{\bf J}$-term in the mean electromotive force and causes the generation of the mean magnetic field even in a nonrotating and nonhelical homogeneous turbulence (where $\bar{\bf W}$ is the mean vorticity and $\bar{\bf J}$ is the mean electric current). It is found that there is no quenching of the nonlinear "shear-current" effect contrary to the quenching of the nonlinear $α$-effect, the nonlinear turbulent magnetic diffusion, etc. During the nonlinear growth of the mean magnetic field, the ''shear-current" effect only changes its sign at some value $\bar{\bf B}_\ast$ of the mean magnetic field. The magnitude $\bar{\bf B}_\ast$ determines the level of the saturated mean magnetic field which is less than the equipartition field. It is shown that the background magnetic fluctuations due to the small-scale dynamo enhance the "shear-current" effect, and reduce the magnitude $\bar{\bf B}_\ast$. When the level of the background magnetic fluctuations is larger than 1/3 of the kinetic energy of the turbulence, the mean magnetic field can be generated due to the "shear-current" effect for an arbitrary exponent of the energy spectrum of the velocity fluctuations.

description: The relationship between government actions and private reactions is an important subject of continuing discussion in fiscal policy. This paper provides empirical evidence on the impact of government consumption on private expenditures in the case of Indonesia over the period of 1990–2012. We use Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS) model to analyze the quarterly data of household consumption, investment, government spending, and import in compliance with the national income product based on expenditure approach. The results confirm that the government expenditure crowds-out household consumption. In contrast, it crowds-in firm investment and import. The elasticity of government expenditure with respect to income is the lowest while that of investment is the highest. Those findings suggest that the public sector is decreasing in relative importance gradually taken over by private sector to promote economic growth. As the economy grows, the economic policies of governments should have a tendency to more heavily focus on economic stabilization especially in relation to external imbalance induced by tendency of increase in import.

description: We evaluate thermodynamic, geometric and dynamic properties of a short-ranged square well binary mixture to provide a coherent picture of this simple, but rich, model for colloidal interactions. In particular, we compare the location, in the temperature-packing fraction plane, of the geometrical percolation locus, the metastable liquid-gas spinodal and the glass transition lines. Such comparison provides evidence that the gel-state can not be related to the attractive glass transition line directly. Indications are given for the possibility of an indirect link between the two, via an arrested phase separation process. We finally discuss the possibility that a spherical short range attraction may not be sufficient to produce an equilibrium cluster phase at low packing fraction and low temperatures.

description: The erosion of preferences due to multilateral tariff reductions is a long-standing concern for many developing countries. This paper focuses on the erosion of the preferences granted by the EU in the rice industry. Since 2004 there has been a sharp decrease in border protection for the EU rice industry. Because the EU grants trade preferences to a considerable number of rice exporting developing countries, the reform implied preference erosion as well. By addressing the impact of preference erosion on developing countries rice exports to the EU, this paper contributes two original insights to the literature: first, by proposing a new empirical approach to compute the preference margin when tariff rate quotas are in force which is based on the assumption of the existence of fixed costs and economies of scale in international trade; second, by estimating the trade elasticities of preferences by means of a dynamic panel gravity equation to deal with the issues of endogeneity of preferences and persistency in bilateral trade flows. The results show that the way preference margins are calculated matters significantly when assessing the existence and extent of their erosion and the values of trade elasticities. Finally, the estimations highlight the fact that the impact of preferences is still very strong for some of the countries concerned.
Mixed Hodge structures and formality of symmetric monoidal functors

Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Algebraic Topology (math.AT)

description: We use mixed Hodge theory to show that the functor of singular chains with rational coefficients is formal as a lax symmetric monoidal functor, when restricted to complex schemes whose weight filtration in cohomology satisfies a certain purity property. This has direct applications to the formality of operads or, more generally, of algebraic structures encoded by a colored operad. We also prove a dual statement, with applications to formality in the context of rational homotopy theory. In the general case of complex schemes with non-pure weight filtration, we relate the singular chains functor to a functor defined via the first term of the weight spectral sequence.

description: The paper examines the causal relationship between FDI and economic growth (GDP) in thirteen ECOWAS countries using both time domain and frequency domain testing procedures using annual data from 1970 to 2015. The results showed that time domain is not adequate in detecting causality. The time domain detected causality in only four out of thirteen countries whilst the frequency domain detected causality at different frequencies and cycles in nine out of thirteen countries. The findings of this study indicate the importance of frequency domain causality, that it decomposes causality at different frequencies and subsequently detects causality at certain cycles lengths. The general observation that economic growth leads FDI calls for ECOWAS leaders to rethink about painful sacrifices they make to attract FDI into the region.
Homelessness as it is portrayed in children's literature : a view from the street
Creators: name: Rinaldis, Anna Stella
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: As educators, it is important for us to help our students become aware of social issues that affect their world. One such issue is homelessness. One way for teachers to incorporate this sensitive issue as a teachable topic is through children's literature. Literature is a powerful tool that affords students the opportunity to experience life on someone else's terms ; that of the characters. The gritty reality of homelessness is explored in both picture books and novels. This paper addresses the way in which the topic of homelessness can be incorporated into the elementary school curriculum to support students' development in the area of social responsibility. Additionally, the paper includes an annotated bibliography of both picture books and novels on the topic of homelessness published between the years 1990 to 2007.

description: In this paper, we continue the program initiated by Kahn-Saito-Yamazaki by constructing and studying an unstable motivic homotopy category with modulus, extending the Morel-Voevodsky construction from smooth schemes over a field $k$ to certain diagrams of schemes. We present this category as a candidate environment for studying representability problems for non $\mathbb{A}^1$-invariant generalized cohomology theories.
