description: This study presents two chemical abrasion-thermal ionisation mass spectrometry (CA-TIMS) U–Pb zircon ages from tuffs as well as palynostratigraphic results from the embracing sedimentary succession of the Orallo Formation, Surat Basin, Queensland. Samples were taken from two Geological Survey of Queensland (GSQ) stratigraphic holes, GSQ DRD 26 and GSQ Roma 2. Palynological results assign the upper part of the Orallo Formation to the lower part of the Ruffordiaspora australiensis Interval Zone rather than the upper part of this zone as previously indicated. A late Valanginian isotopic date of 134.38 ± 0.04 Ma from GSQ DRD 26 and an early Hauterivian date of ≤132.46 ± 0.36 Ma from GSQ Roma 2 give the Orallo Formation a Berriasian?/Valanginian–Hautevarian age, rather than the previously inferred Berriasian–Valanginian age determined without any geochronological control. Additionally, when combined with previously published geochronological dates from the Westbourne Formation, these ages suggest that, in the Surat Basin succession, the Jurassic–Cretaceous boundary most likely lies within the Gubberamunda Sandstone.KEY POINTSTwo U–Pb CA-TIMS ages of 134.38 ± 0.04 Ma and ≤132.46 ± 0.36 Ma have been found, based on zircons extracted Orallo Formation tuffs.Sediments surrounding the two tuffs the zircons were extracted from yielded palynofloras assignable to the lower part of the Ruffordiaspora australiensis Interval Zone.These dates, combined with earlier work, show the Orallo Formation to be of Berriasian?/Valanginian–Hautevarian age. Two U–Pb CA-TIMS ages of 134.38 ± 0.04 Ma and ≤132.46 ± 0.36 Ma have been found, based on zircons extracted Orallo Formation tuffs. Sediments surrounding the two tuffs the zircons were extracted from yielded palynofloras assignable to the lower part of the Ruffordiaspora australiensis Interval Zone. These dates, combined with earlier work, show the Orallo Formation to be of Berriasian?/Valanginian–Hautevarian age.

description: An X-ray study was made to examine whether some part of the soft X-ray background is coming from hot gas in the Local Group. For this purpose, four consecutive pointings were made with ASCA toward a sky region between M 31 and M 33, which is close to the direction of the center of the Local Group. By comparing the X-ray surface brightness in this sky direction with that in another blank sky region near the north equatorial pole, an upper limit on any soft excess X-ray background was determined to be 2.8$\times10^{-9}$ erg cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$ sr$^{-1}$ with a 90% confidence level statistical error. Assuming an optically thin thermal bremsstrahlung energy spectrum (Raymond-Smith model) for a temperature of 1 keV and a $β$-model electron density distribution for a core radius of 100 kpc for the X-ray halo, the upper limit of the central plasma density was obtained to be 1.3$\times10^{-4}$ cm$^{-3}$. The plasma column density is too low to contribute significantly to the observed quadrupole anisotropy in the cosmic microwave background.

description: Pressure mounts to address food waste, which deprives hungry people of needed nutrition, depletes resources used to produce food, and accounts for substantial greenhouse gas emissions during production, distribution and disposal. Composting, and other food waste recycling technologies that divert food waste from landfills, mitigate the environmental damages of food waste disposal and grow in popularity. We explore whether consumer knowledge that the environmental damage created by their food waste will be mitigated undermines personal food waste reduction behavior. Subjects in a dining situation are randomly assigned whether or not they receive information about the negative effects of landfilling food waste and whether they are told that uneaten food from the study will be composted or landfilled. We find that providing information about the negative effects of food waste in landfills significantly reduces both the propensity to create any food waste and the total amount of solid food waste created when compared to control subjects. However, if subjects are also informed that food waste from the study will be composted, the propensity to create food waste and the amount of solid food waste generated is similar to control situation which features neither a reduction nor a recycling policy. This suggests a crowding out effect or informational rebound effect in which promoting policies that mitigate the environmental damages of food waste may unintentionally undermine policies meant to encourage individual consumer food waste reduction. We discuss key policy implications as well as several limitations of our experimental setting and analysis.

description: Accurate forecasts are vital for supporting the decisions of modern companies. Forecasters typically select the most appropriate statistical model for each time series. However, statistical models usually presume some data generation process while making strong assumptions about the errors. In this paper, we present a novel data-centric approach -- `forecasting with similarity', which tackles model uncertainty in a model-free manner. Existing similarity-based methods focus on identifying similar patterns within the series, i.e., `self-similarity'. In contrast, we propose searching for similar patterns from a reference set, i.e., `cross-similarity'. Instead of extrapolating, the future paths of the similar series are aggregated to obtain the forecasts of the target series. Building on the cross-learning concept, our approach allows the application of similarity-based forecasting on series with limited lengths. We evaluate the approach using a rich collection of real data and show that it yields competitive accuracy in both points forecasts and prediction intervals.

description: There is evidence that obesity is a risk to health and longevity of life. This is the first paper to use cross-country data to analyze the effect of obesity levels on life expectancy, and the trade-off between health expenditure and obesity levels. It uses a panel data of 194 countries for the years 2002, 2005 and 2010. We find that life expectancy has non-monotonic relationship with obesity levels. At low prevalence of obesity, life expectancy is increasing in obesity levels, but beyond a certain threshold level of obesity prevalence, an increase in obesity level reduces life expectancy. Countries that spend more on health expenditure are able to counter the effects of increased obesity on life expectancy. Incremental effect of health expenditure in enhancing life expectancy is higher for countries where obesity prevalence is low. The impact of health expenditure on increasing life expectancy is higher for women. The results are consistent over three data sets: when the health indicator is life expectancy at birth, mortality rate between age group 15-60 years, and healthy life expectancy.
Wheeler's It from Bit Proposal in Loop Quantum Gravity

description: As an attempt to realize Wheeler's "it-from-bit proposal" that physics should be reduced to simple yes-no questions we consider a model of loop quantum gravity, where the only allowed values of the quantum numbers $j_p$ at the punctures of the spin network on the spacelike two-surfaces of spacetime are $0$ and $\frac{1}{2}$. When $j_p=0$, the puncture is in the vacuum, and it does not contribute to the area of the two-surface, whereas when $j_p=\frac{1}{2}$, the puncture is in an excited state, and the allowed values of the associated quantum number $m_p$ are $-\frac{1}{2}$ and $+\frac{1}{2}$. As a consequence, the spin network used as a model of spacetime is analogous to a system of particles with spin $\frac{1}{2}$, and every puncture carries exactly one bit of information. When applied to spacetimes with horizon our model enables us to find an explicit expression for the partition function of spacetime. Using this partition function we may, among other things, obtain the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy law for black holes. When applied to cosmological models with horizon the partition function predicts a cosmic phase transition in the early Universe, where the cosmological constant went through a dramatic decrease and the matter of the Universe was created out of the vacuum.

description: We develop a general convergence theory for adaptive discontinuous Galerkin methods for elliptic PDEs covering the popular SIPG, NIPG and LDG schemes as well as all practically relevant marking strategies. Another key feature of the presented result is, that it holds for penalty parameters only necessary for the standard analysis of the respective scheme. The analysis is based on a quasi interpolation into a newly developed limit space of the adaptively created non-conforming discrete spaces, which enables to generalise the basic convergence result for conforming adaptive finite element methods by Morin, Siebert, and Veeser [A basic convergence result for conforming adaptive finite elements, Math. Models Methods Appl. Sci., 2008, 18(5), 707--737].

description: In this study we examine changing relationships among maize prices in four global markets. In doing so, we allow the quantity of exports to play a role in both price transmission and price response. That is, we adapt threshold cointegration methods to search for critical export volumes that enhance (or diminish) the role a region’s price plays in the world market. We find that the short run response of prices in both Argentina and Ukraine is influenced by the level of Ukraine’s exports. However the period where Ukraine’s exports reached their threshold coincides with the period that Argentina imposed export restrictions on maize. We also find that there are numerous country specific price thresholds that influence each market’s short run response to a price shock.

description: We analyze stability of conservative solutions of the Cauchy problem on the line for the Camassa--Holm (CH) equation. Generically, the solutions of the CH equation develop singularities with steep gradients while preserving continuity of the solution itself. In order to obtain uniqueness, one is required to augment the equation itself by a measure that represents the associated energy, and the breakdown of the solution is associated with a complicated interplay where the measure becomes singular. The main result in this paper is the construction of a Lipschitz metric that compares two solutions of the CH equation with the respective initial data. The Lipschitz metric is based on the use of the Wasserstein metric.

description: The Flinders Ranges in the north and Mount Lofty Ranges in the south form a continuous highland chain extending ∼1000 km in eastern South Australia. This region corresponds to outcropping rocks of the Neoproterozoic to Cambrian Adelaide Rift Complex. The semi-arid ranges of the north with their historic mining heritage and the agriculture and vineyards of the south are heavily promoted as iconic natural and cultural tourism attractions, increasingly combining with indigenous landscape stories. With the exception of Arkaroola and Kangaroo Island, these regions are linked by the 600 km Heysen Walking Trail and adjacent Mawson Cycle Trail. Research on the Ediacara fossil biota in the Flinders Ranges has raised public awareness of geological history and the early evolution of life on Earth and developed into a multi-site Flinders Ranges World Heritage Nomination project. This is supported by the South Australian Government as part of its Nature Tourism programme to provide opportunities for conservation, education, tourism initiatives and local employment, all of which are aspirations of the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO). South Australia has a World Heritage Fossil site at the Naracoorte Caves complex, which is a compact National Park with many staff and security for laboratories and underground fossil deposits. The multi-site World Heritage proposal for the semi-remote Flinders Ranges presents a very different approach for protection and public visitation. Following an emerging global trend for geotourism and developing geotrails, this paper proposes a 400-km loop geotrail across the region linking the nominated Flinders World Heritage elements with other ‘Geological Monuments’, listed State Heritage and historical sites. This strategy has the potential to involve wider community interest, engagement, support and involvement in its management. The concept would be a natural link to the Heysen and Mawson trails, both named after prominent South Australians with strong links to the Flinders Ranges landscape. It could be named the Ediacara Geotrail, Sprigg Geotrail or Arkaroo Geotrail after the indigenous dreamtime creator of the northeastern Flinders Ranges.

description: This paper presents criteria for the existence and uniqueness of solution to Kronecker product initialvalue problem associated with general first order matrix difference system. A modified leastsquare method and a modified QR algorithm are developed to find the best least square solutionof the Kronecker product of matrices. Using these methods as a tool the general solution of theKronecker product initial value problem whose initial condition matrix is over determined is established.Using the method developed by Ishey Haviv and Îded Regev, on finding shortest vectorproblem we improve further the best least square solution. To boost the hardness factor wesimply apply the standard Kronecker product or tensor product of lattices.
Maxwell's equations are universal for locally conserved quantities

Subjects: subject: Classical Physics (physics.class-ph)

description: A fundamental result of classical electromagnetism is that Maxwell's equations imply that electric charge is locally conserved. Here we show the converse: Local charge conservation implies the local existence of fields satisfying Maxwell's equations. This holds true for any conserved quantity satisfying a continuity equation. It is obtained by means of a strong form of the Poincaré lemma presented here that states: Divergence-free multivector fields locally possess curl-free antiderivatives on flat manifolds. The above converse is an application of this lemma in the case of divergence-free vector fields in spacetime. We also provide conditions under which the result generalizes to curved manifolds.

description: We define a transverse correlation length suitable to discuss the finite-size-scaling behavior of an out-of-equilibrium lattice gas, whose correlation functions decay algebraically with the distance. By numerical simulations we verify that this definition has a good infinite-volume limit independent of the lattice geometry. We study the transverse fluctuations as they can select the correct field-theoretical description. By means of a careful finite-size scaling analysis, without tunable parameters, we show that they are Gaussian, in agreement with the predictions of the model proposed by Janssen, Schmittmann, Leung, and Cardy.

description: Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and vitreous humour (VH) can be biochemically analysed post-mortem. CSF can be aspirated from the ventricular system (VA) and from lumbar puncture (LP), whereas, VH is aspirated from the orbits. This study compared the biochemical constituents between CSF and VH in 20 post-mortem subjects as well as the effect post-mortem interval and subject age have on these variables. VH samples had significantly higher sodium (Na) and chloride (Cl) and lower magnesium (Mg), potassium (K), urea (Ur) and creatinine (Cr) compared with CSF samples. No statistically significant difference was demonstrated with beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) and glucose levels in both VH and both CSF samples. Interestingly, some of the differences in the biochemical analysis correlated with age, but none with post-mortem interval. In addition to sampling and pre-analytical sample processing differences, there may also be ante- and post-mortem factors explaining these observations. This study suggests that post-mortem CSF and VH are biochemically different and reference ranges for VH are not recommended for use in CSF samples.

description: The importance of studying matter at high $ρ$ increases as more astrophysical data becomes available from recently launched spacecrafts. The importance of high T studies derives from heavy ion data. In this paper we set up a formalism to study the nucleons and isobars with long and short range potentials non-pertubatively, bosonizing and expanding semi-classically the Feyman integrals up to one loop. We address the low density, finite T problem=A0 first, the case relevant to heavy ion collisions, hoping to adresss the high density case later. Interactions change the nucleon and isobar numbers at different $ρ$ and T non-trivially.

description: We study a simple model of economic growth where society’s preferences are a function of consumption per capita and climate quality; and the specification of the climate dynamics is inspired by recent work in climate science. The model is estimated to establish a reference model and we develop a new method that determines the reasonable size of a set of surrounding models which are difficult to distinguish from the reference model. We show that robust agents who deny the effects of climate change on the economy, behave more like agents who believe climate changes are real. This happens because robust non-believers design policies that hedge against their worst case model which does include an anthropogenic effect of their emissions on climate and these changes in climate have negative effects on preferences and productivity.

description: We present evolutionary synthesis models of starbursts on top of old stellar populations to investigate in detailed time evolution the relation between Ha luminosity and star formation rate (SFR). The models show that several effects have an impact on the ratio between L(Ha) and SFR. Metallicity different from solar abundance, a time delay between star formation and maximum Ha-luminosity, and a varying stellar initial mass function give rise to strong variations in the ratio of Ha luminosity to SFR and can cause large errors in the determination of the SFR when employing well-known calibrations. When studying star-bursting dwarf galaxies, and sub-galactic fragments at high redshift, which show SFR fluctuating on short timescales, these effects can add up to errors of two orders of magnitude compared with the calibrations. To accurately determine the true current SFR additional data in combination with models for the spectral energy distribution are needed.

description: Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is used for identification of Australian military personnel whose remains are recovered from historical conflicts. A mtDNA sample database does not exist for Australian soldiers that served in World War I (WWI), World War II (WWII) and the Korean War, meaning it is unknown what common haplotypes may have existed among these soldiers, risking identification errors. Haplotype diversity (position 16,024 to 548) was examined in a sample of 254 unrelated WWII-era European-Australians. Of these, 220 different haplotypes were observed, and it is estimated that between 18% and 29% of Australian soldiers who served in historical conflicts have common haplotypes (95% CI). This research demonstrates that mtDNA control region analysis of historical military remains will provide a lower than expected power of discrimination given the population structure of the time, and enlistment policies targeting Australians of European decent. The point estimates for 52% of the common haplotypes obtained in the historical European-Australian sample were not represented in the confidence intervals for European and Western-European EMPOP data. Creation of targeted sample data reflecting correct ancestry of the WWI and II soldiers and additional mtDNA and Y-STR analysis are essential to avoid misidentification of Australian soldiers from historical conflicts.

The Late-Time Radio Spectrum of SN1993J

description: We present VLA radio continuum measurements of SN1993J in M81 at the frequencies of 0.32 (P-band), 1.3 and 1.7 (L-band), 4.9 (C-band), 8.5 (X-band), and 14.9 (U-band) GHz carried out on December 17 and 21, 2000, about 2820 days after the supernova explosion. We find that a power-law spectrum, free-free absorbed by an homogeneous, or clumpy, distribution of ionized gas yields the best fit to the radio data. A combined homogeneous-clumpy model is not favored, but neither totally excluded. This result contrasts with the modeling of the early ($t \lessim $230 days) radio emission from SN1993J, where a mixture of homogeneous and clumpy absorbers appeared to be necessary to adequately describe the behavior of the light curves. The radio spectrum of supernova SN1993J between 0.32 and 14.9 GHz is well characterized by $α= -0.67 \pm 0.02 $ ($S_ν\propto ν^α$), typical of an optically thin radio supernova. A fit to the radio spectra of SN1993J from $\sim$ 70 up to 2820 days shows that the observed spectral index of SN1993J has been slowly evolving since $t\sim$1000 days on, with the observed spectral index changing from $α\approx -1$ to $α=-0.67$. This spectral evolution seems to suggest that, in addition to the radiative (synchrotron) losses, adiabatic cooling and ionization (Coulomb) losses at the lowest frequencies might be contributing significantly to the integrated electron spectrum.

A massless scalar field in Robertson-Walker spacetimes: Adiabatic regularization and Green's function

description: We study adiabatic regularization of a coupling massless scalar field in general spatially flat Robertson-Walker (RW) spacetimes. For the conformally-coupling, the 0th-order regularized power spectrum and 0th-order regularized stress tensor are zero, and no trace anomaly exists in general RW spacetimes. This is a new result which extents those found in de Sitter space. For the minimally-coupling, the regularized spectra are also zero in the radiation-dominant stage, the matter-dominant stage, and de Sitter space as well. The vanishing of these adiabatically regularized spectra are also confirmed by direct regularization of the Green's functions. For a general coupling and general RW spacetimes, the regularized spectra can be negative under the conventional prescription. By going to higher order of regularization, the spectra will generally become positive, but will also acquire IR divergence which is inevitable for a massless field. To avoid the IR divergence, the inside-horizon regularization is applied. By these procedures, one will eventually achieve nonnegative, UV- and IR-convergent power spectrum and spectral energy density.

description: While food access is an increasingly studied component of research related to diet and health, consumer behavior and store choice have been relatively overlooked in understanding the dietary health-food access relationship. Especially in areas with high poverty rates, where the proportion of low-access and low-income population persists over time, consumers are faced with shopping at non-traditional stores, which may augment the negative welfare impacts of residing in these areas. Using IRI's Consumer Network Panel, IRI's InfoScan, and Nielsen's TDLinx store characteristics data, this paper develops a structural model of store choice that frames Pinkse, Slade, and Brett's (2002) distance metric (DM) method inside a demand system to model what behaviors drive consumers' store choice decisions, highlighting underserved communities. While the DM method has been used previously to model brand choice, this paper is the first to use it to investigate store choice. Because the store-choice model is based on demand for store attributes (such as relative prices, product assortment measures, store services, and distance between stores), it reveals consumer preferences for store types and provides insight into policy prescriptions that attempt to improve food access.

description: The properties of the pairing interaction in the shell model framework are considered with the aid of the exact numerical solution utilizing the quasispin symmetry. We emphasize the features which are out of reach for the usual approximate techniques based on the BCS approach supplemented by the random phase approximation treatment of pair vibrations, especially in the region of weak pairing where the BCS+RPA theory fails. For the first time chaotic aspects of the mixing generated by the pairing interaction are studied. The level repulsion and large information entropy of the eigenstates coexist with the absence of thermalization of single-particle motion. The full spectrum of pair vibration in average displays the spin dependence similar to that for a rigid rotor.

description: Experiments were carried out to quantify the size of the tissue spatter distribution from post-mortem dismemberment. Pig joints were used with the same diameters as human arms. Two chainsaws were used: a petrol chainsaw and an electric chainsaw. For both chainsaws and all joint sizes, the tissue spatter distribution showed three distinct regions: i) a line of tissue in front of the cut, ii) tissue particles either side of the line of tissue in front of the cut and iii) a line of tissue behind the cut. The size of the tissue spatter distribution differed between the two chainsaws. The tissue pattern distribution was longer for the petrol chainsaw. The size of the tissue spatter distribution did not depend on joint size for joints with a cross-sectional area greater than 300 cm2.
