Population dynamics of Peromyscus maniculatus austerus and Microtus townsendii with supplementary food
Creators: name: Taitt, Mary Joan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: A number of field studies suggest that some vertebrate populations are limited by spacing behaviour, , Small mammals of the genus Peromyscus and Microtus exhibit spacing behaviour by possessing home ranges, but they have contrasting patterns of population fluctuation, Deermice (Peromyscus sp.) fluctuate annually but maintain fairly constant numbers from year to year, whereas voles (Microtus sp.) 'cycle', reaching peak densities every 2 to 5 years. One use of the home range is for food-gathering, Therefore, these experiments were designed to investigate the influence of food availability on the home range and population dynamics of local deermice and voles (P. maniculatus austerus and M. townsendii). The addition of food in late winter resulted in a doubling of the number of deermice. Immigration was 2.5 times that of an unfed control. This could be explained since resident deermice reduced the size of their home ranges. Deermice populations with extra food increased their reproductive output compared with controls: larger numbers of mice bred, and for longer periods, more young were recruited, they grew faster and reached sexual maturity earlier. It is suggested that the onset and cessation of breeding in deermice are proximate responses to food availability, Deermouse dynamics may be closely tied to the temporal and spatial availability of food through the spatial organisation of individuals. It is also suggested that females, because of their energy demands for lactation, and their influence on the survival of young, may be more sensitive to these food conditions and hence exert a strong influence on deermouse population dynamics. Vole populations with, low- and intermediate-levels of food peaked at twice the control density, and a population with a high-level of food reached seven times control density. Voles immigrated to established populations, and colonized vacant areas in proportion to the food available. Like deermice, residents reduced the size of their ranges. Breeding was enhanced in all fed vole populations. Omnivorous deermice had larger ranges than did the herbivorous voles, but both species responded to extra food by reducing their range size, so the smallest deermouse ranges were the size of large vole ranges. The results indicate that home range size in both species is responsive to food availability, and that the concentration of food in the 'typical' habitats of these small mammals is different. If, as suggested, the heterogeneity of deermouse-food in the forest results in an annual cycle in numbers, then the reduced heterogeneity of vole-food in grasslands may influence vole dynamics.

description: By pointing out an error in the previous derivation of the area spectrum based on Ashtekar's variables, we suggest a new area spectrum; instead of the norm of Ashtekar's gravitational electric field, we show that the norm of our "new" gravitational electric field based on our "newer" variables, which we construct in this paper for this purpose, gives the correct area spectrum. In particular, our "newer" variables are mathematically consistent; the constraint algebra is closed. Moreover, by using our new area spectrum, we "almost correctly" predict the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy without having to adjust the Immirzi parameter; we show that a numerical formula actually yielded $0.997\cdots$, which is very close to 1, the expected value with the black hole entropy given as $A/4$. We conjecture that the difference, 0.003, is due to the extra dimensions that may modify the area spectrum. Then, we derive a formula for the degeneracy for a single-partition black hole, i.e., a black hole made of a single unit area, and explicitly show that our area spectrum correctly reproduces the degeneracy. Furthermore, by using two totally different methods, we obtain the proportionality constant "$C$" related to the degeneracy. The first method based on fitting yields 172$\sim$173 while the second method yields 172.87$\cdots$, which strongly suggest that our area spectrum is on the right track. We also show that the area spectra based on Ashtekar variables neither reproduce the degeneracy of single-partition black hole nor yield agreement for $C$ obtained by using the two methods.

title: Axisymmetric Coanda-Assisted Vectoring
Creators: name: Allen, Dustin S
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2008

description: An examination of parameters affecting the control of a jet vectoring technique used in the Coanda-assisted Spray Manipulation (CSM) is presented. The CSM makes use of an enhanced Coanda effect on axisymmetric geometries through the interaction of a high volume primary jet flowing through the center of a collar and a secondary high-momentum jet parallel to the first and adjacent to the convex collar. The control jet attaches to the convex wall and vectors according to known Coanda effect principles, entraining and vectoring the primary jet, resulting in controllable r-θ directional spraying. Several control slots (both annular and unique sizes) and expansion radii were tested over a range of momentum flux ratios to determine the effects of these variables on the vectored jet angle and profile. Two- and three-component Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) was used to determine the vectoring angle and the profile of the primary jet in each experiment. The experiments show that the control slot and expansion radius, along with the momentum ratios of the two jets, predominantly affected the vectoring angle and profile of the primary jet. The Reynolds number range for the primary jet at the exit plane was between 20,000 and 80,000. The flow was in the incompressible Mach number range (Mach< 0.3).

description: This paper considers the noncooperative maximization of mutual information in the Gaussian interference channel in a fully distributed fashion via game theory. This problem has been studied in a number of papers during the past decade for the case of frequency-selective channels. A variety of conditions guaranteeing the uniqueness of the Nash Equilibrium (NE) and convergence of many different distributed algorithms have been derived. In this paper we provide a unified view of the state-of-the-art results, showing that most of the techniques proposed in the literature to study the game, even though apparently different, can be unified using our recent interpretation of the waterfilling operator as a projection onto a proper polyhedral set. Based on this interpretation, we then provide a mathematical framework, useful to derive a unified set of sufficient conditions guaranteeing the uniqueness of the NE and the global convergence of waterfilling based asynchronous distributed algorithms. The proposed mathematical framework is also instrumental to study the extension of the game to the more general MIMO case, for which only few results are available in the current literature. The resulting algorithm is, similarly to the frequency-selective case, an iterative asynchronous MIMO waterfilling algorithm. The proof of convergence hinges again on the interpretation of the MIMO waterfilling as a matrix projection, which is the natural generalization of our results obtained for the waterfilling mapping in the frequency-selective case.

description: The time-averaged and low--frequency noise transport properties were investigated in the vicinity of the superconductor--insulator transition for a Bi$_2$Sr$_{2-x}$La$_{x}$CuO$_{6+δ}$ ($x=0.3$) thin film. The results are consistent with a superconductor (metal) embedded in a strong insulator, the latter showing two-dimensional variable range hopping properties. The weak insulator behavior -- if any -- is attributed to the metallic inclusions only.

description: Understanding the chemistry of molecular clouds is pivotal to elucidate star formation and galaxy evolution. As one of the important molecular ions, HCNH+ plays an important role in this chemistry. Yet, its behavior and significance under extreme conditions, such as in the CMZs of external galaxies, are still largely unexplored. We aim to reveal the physical and chemical properties of the CMZ in the starburst galaxy NGC253 with multiple HCNH+ transitions to shed light on the molecule's behavior under the extreme physical conditions of a starburst. We employ molecular line data including results for four rotational transitions of HCNH+ from the ALCHEMI large program to investigate underlying physical and chemical processes. Despite weak intensities, HCNH+ emission is widespread throughout NGC253's CMZ, which suggests that this molecular ion can effectively trace large-scale structures within molecular clouds. Using the quantum mechanical coupled states approximation, we computed rate coefficients for collisions of HCNH+ with para-H2 and ortho-H2 at kinetic temperatures up to 500 K. Using these coefficients in a non-LTE modeling framework and employing a Monte Carlo Markov chain analysis, we find that HCNH+ emission originates from regions with H2 number densities of $\sim10^{2.80}-10^{3.55}$~cm$^{-3}$, establishing HCNH+ as a tracer of low-density environments. Our analysis reveals that most of the HCNH+ abundances in the CMZ of NGC253 are higher than all reported values in the Milky Way. We performed static, PDR, and shock modeling, and found that recurrent shocks could potentially account for the elevated HCNH+ abundances observed in this CMZ. We propose that the unexpectedly high HCNH+ abundances may result from chemical enhancement, primarily driven by the elevated gas temperatures and cosmic ray ionization rates of shocked, low-density gas in the nuclear starburst regions of NGC253.

title: An Assessment of Housing Affordability in Cache County, Utah
Creators: name: Jewkes, Melanie
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2008

description: Multiple housing affordability indexes are used to measure and assess housing affordability. Each index has its own definition of affordability, causing varying viewpoints on what is to be considered affordable or unaffordable. Four indexes were used in this study: two from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), one from the National Association of Realtors (NAR), and the last from the National Low Income Housing Coalition. The indexes were applied to Census data to assess the housing affordability situation of both homeowners and renters in the census tracts of Cache County, Utah. The measures together show distinct differences in the housing markets throughout the county. The study provides implications for housing counselors, educators, lenders, and policy makers, and provides suggestions for preventing housing crisis, including the benefits of the residual income approach for determining housing affordability

description: The interplay of strong Coulomb interactions and of topology is currently under intense scrutiny in various condensed matter and atomic systems. One example of this interplay is the phase competition of fractional quantum Hall states and the Wigner solid in the two-dimensional electron gas. Here we report a Wigner solid at $ν=1.79$ and its melting due to fractional correlations occurring at $ν=9/5$. This Wigner solid, that we call the reentrant integer quantum Hall Wigner solid, develops in a range of Landau level filling factors that is related by particle-hole symmetry to the so called reentrant Wigner solid. We thus find that the Wigner solid in the GaAs/AlGaAs system straddles the partial filling factor $1/5$ not only at the lowest filling factors, but also near $ν=9/5$. Our results highlight the particle-hole symmetry as a fundamental symmetry of the extended family of Wigner solids and paint a complex picture of the competition of the Wigner solid with fractional quantum Hall states.

description: It has been a central open problem in Heegaard Floer theory whether cobordisms of links induce homomorphisms on the associated link Floer homology groups. We provide an affirmative answer by introducing a natural notion of cobordism between sutured manifolds, and showing that such a cobordism induces a map on sutured Floer homology. This map is a common generalization of the hat version of the closed 3-manifold cobordism map in Heegaard Floer theory, and the contact gluing map defined by Honda, Kazez, and Matić. We show that sutured Floer homology, together with the above cobordism maps, forms a type of TQFT in the sense of Atiyah. Applied to the sutured manifold cobordism complementary to a decorated link cobordism, our theory gives rise to the desired map on link Floer homology. Hence, link Floer homology is a categorification of the multi-variable Alexander polynomial. We outline an alternative definition of the contact gluing map using only the contact element and handle maps. Finally, we show that a Weinstein sutured manifold cobordism preserves the contact element.

Probing the interstellar medium toward GRB 221009A through X-ray dust scattering

description: The observation of 21 X-ray dust-scattering rings around the extraordinarily bright gamma-ray burst (GRB) 221009A provides a unique opportunity to study the interstellar medium (ISM) through which the X-ray radiation traveled in our Galaxy and, by difference, in the host galaxy as well. In particular, since the ring intensity and radius at a given time depend on the amount of dust and on its distance, respectively XMM-Newton and Swift images allowed us to map the ISM around the direction of the GRB with better resolution than in the existing optical and infrared-based 3D dust maps, both in the plane of the sky (few arcminutes) and along the line of sight (from $\simeq 1$ pc for dust clouds within 1 kpc to $\simeq 100$ pc for structures at distances larger than 10 kpc). As a consequence, we can revise prior estimates of the GRB soft X-ray fluence, obtaining a $\sim$35\% lower value, which, however, still indicates a substantial excess with respect to the extrapolation of the spectral models constrained by hard X-ray observations.
 Additionally, we detect significant spectral variability in two azimuthal sectors of the X-ray rings, which can be fully attributed to different Galactic absorption in these two directions. The comparison of the total hydrogen column density inferred from spectral fitting, with the Galactic contribution derived from the intensity of the X-ray rings, in the same sectors, allowed us to more robustly constrain the absorption in the host galaxy to $N_{\rm{H,z=0.151}}= (3.7\pm0.3)\,\times\,10^{21}\,\rm{cm^{-2}}$. This result is relevant not only to characterize the ISM of the host galaxy and to understand how the GRB radiation might have affected it, but also to model the broad-band spectrum of the GRB afterglow and to constrain the properties of a possible underlying supernova.

description: Wireless control systems (WCSs) often have to operate in dynamic environments where the network traffic load may vary unpredictably over time. The sampling in sensors is conventionally time triggered with fixed periods. In this context, only worse-than-possible quality of control (QoC) can be achieved when the network is underloaded, while overloaded conditions may significantly degrade the QoC, even causing system instability. This is particularly true when the bandwidth of the wireless network is limited and shared by multiple control loops. To address these problems, a flexible time-triggered sampling scheme is presented in this work. Smart sensors are used to facilitate dynamic adjustment of sampling periods, which enhances the flexibility and resource efficiency of the system based on time-triggered sampling. Feedback control technology is exploited for adapting sampling periods in a periodic manner. The deadline miss ratio in each control loop is maintained at/around a desired level, regardless of workload variations. Simulation results show that the proposed sampling scheme is able to deal with dynamic and unpredictable variations in network traffic load. Compared to conventional time-triggered sampling, it leads to much better QoC in WCSs operating in dynamic environments.

description: We report nanosecond time-resolved photoluminescence measurements on the isoelectronic series of oxygen deficient centers in amorphous silica, Si-ODC(II), Ge-ODC(II) and Sn-ODC(II) which are responsible of fluorescence activities at $\sim$4 eV under excitation at $\sim$5 eV. The dependence of the first moment of their emission band on time, and that of the radiative decay lifetime on emission energy are analyzed within a theoretical model able to describe the effects introduced by disorder on the optical properties of the defects. We obtain separate estimates of the homogeneous and inhomogeneous contributions to the measured emission linewidth and we derive homogeneous spectroscopic features of the investigated point defects (Huangh-Rhys factor, homogeneous width, oscillator strength, vibrational frequency). The results point to a picture in which an oxygen deficient center localized on a heavier atom features a higher degree of inhomogeneity due to stronger local distortion of the surrounding matrix. For Si, Ge, Sn related defects the parameter $λ$, able to quantify inhomogeneity, results to be 65, 78 and 90$%, respectively.

description: Redback and black widow pulsars are two classes of peculiar binary systems characterized by very short orbital periods, very low mass companions, and, in several cases, regular eclipses in their pulsed radio signal. Long-term timing revealed systematic but unpredictable variations in the orbital period, which can most likely be explained by the so-called Applegate mechanism. This relies on the magnetic dynamo activity generated inside the companion star and triggered by the pulsar wind, which induces a modification of the star's oblateness (or quadrupole variation). This, in turn, couples with the orbit by gravity, causing a consequent change in the orbital period. The Applegate description limits to provide estimates of physical quantities by highlighting their orders of magnitude. Therefore, we derive the time-evolution differential equations underlying the Applegate model, that is, we track such physical quantities in terms of time. Our strategy is to employ the orbital period modulations, measured by fitting the observational data, and implementing a highly accurate approximation scheme to finally reconstruct the dynamics of the spider system under study and the relative observables. Among the latter is the magnetic field activity inside the companion star, which is still a matter of debate for its complex theoretical modeling and the ensuing expensive numerical simulations. As an application, we exploit our methodology to examine two spider sources: 47 Tuc W (redback) and 47 Tuc O (black widow). The results obtained are analyzed and then discussed with the literature.

description: The Tully-Fisher relation (TFR) is one of the most important and widely used empirical correlations in extragalactic astronomy. Apart from its importance as a secondary distance indicator, the TFR relation serves as a test for galaxy evolution models, because it connects the baryonic and dark matter components of galaxies. We aim at simulating the multi-wavelength TFR relation from UV to mid-infrared wavelengths for the TNG50 cosmological simulation at $z = 0$, and at comparing the results with observational TFR studies. We want to compare the wavelength dependence of the slope and scatter with the observed values, and search for secondary parameters that reduce the scatter in the TFR. We select a large sample of simulated late-type, disc-dominated galaxies from the TNG50 simulation. For each galaxy, we use the SKIRT radiative transfer code to generate realistic synthetic global fluxes in 12 UV to mid-infrared broadbands and synthetic integrated HI line profiles. We use bivariate linear regression to determine the TFR in each band, and we search for a second TFR parameter by correlating the residuals with different physical parameters. Our TNG50 TFR reproduces the characteristic behaviour of the observed TFR in many studies: the TFR becomes steeper and tighter as we move from UV/optical to infrared wavelengths. The slope changes from $-7.46 \pm 0.14~{\text{mag}}~{\text{dex}}^{-1}$ in the NUV band to $-9.66 \pm 0.09~{\text{mag}}~{\text{dex}}^{-1}$ in the IRAC [4.5] band. Quantitatively, our slopes are well within the spread of different observational results. The ${\textit{u}} - {\textit{r}}$ colour or the sSFR can significantly reduce the scatter in the UV and optical bands. Using ${\textit{u}} - {\textit{r}}$ colour as second parameter, the modified TFR has a roughly constant intrinsic tightness of over the entire UV to MIR range. The combination of the TNG50...

description: We study the pseudo spin-orbital (SO) effects experienced by massive Dirac particles in graphene, which can potentially be of a larger magnitude compared to the conventional Rashba SO effects experienced by particles in a 2DEG semiconductor heterostructure. In order to generate a uniform vertical pseudo SO field, we propose an artificial atomic structure, consisting of a graphene ring and a charged nanodot at the center which produces a large radial electric field. In this structure, a large pseudo SO coupling strength can be achieved by accelerating the Dirac particles around the ring, due to the small energy gap in graphene and the large radial electric field emanating from the charged nanodot. We discuss the theoretical possibility of harnessing the pseudo SO effects in mesoscopic applications, e.g. pseudo spin relaxation and switching.

description: Wireless sensor/actuator networks (WSANs) are emerging as a new generation of sensor networks. Serving as the backbone of control applications, WSANs will enable an unprecedented degree of distributed and mobile control. However, the unreliability of wireless communications and the real-time requirements of control applications raise great challenges for WSAN design. With emphasis on the reliability issue, this paper presents an application-level design methodology for WSANs in mobile control applications. The solution is generic in that it is independent of the underlying platforms, environment, control system models, and controller design. To capture the link quality characteristics in terms of packet loss rate, experiments are conducted on a real WSAN system. From the experimental observations, a simple yet efficient method is proposed to deal with unpredictable packet loss on actuator nodes. Trace-based simulations give promising results, which demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

description: We recently studied spin precession in various stationary and axisymmetric spacetimes and applied it to the case of neutrinos propagating in those spacetimes. In this paper, the study of spin precession is extended to the case of a spinning particle propagating within the spacetime of a time-dependent gravitational plane wave. First, the angular velocity of spin precession of a particle propagating in a geodesic along an arbitrary direction relative to the gravitational wave is derived. Our general result is then used to derive the helicity flip probability for neutrinos freely propagating along such an arbitrary direction within the gravitational wave.

description: Context: Concern is growing among soccer players, coaches, and parents regarding head and neck injuries, including concussion, particularly from heading a ball. Thus, we need to explore soccer-specific head injury risk-reduction initiatives. One such initiative is to condition the neck musculature of young players by adding neuromuscular neck exercises to existing injury-reduction exercise programs. Objective: To investigate the effect of neuromuscular neck exercises completed as part of an injury risk-reduction exercise program on the incidence of soccer-related head and neck injuries in adolescent soccer players. Design: Prospective cohort study. Setting: Two sports high schools and 6 soccer clubs during the 2021 soccer season. Patients or Other Participants: A total of 364 male and female soccer players, aged 12 to 18 years. Intervention(s): Members of 1 sports high school and 2 soccer clubs performed neuromuscular neck exercises as part of an injury-reduction program during training (neck training group). Members of another sports high school and 4 soccer clubs performed an injury-reduction program but without neck exercises (comparison group). Main Outcome Measure(s): Self-reported injury data were collected from each player at the end of the season and used to calculate incidence rate ratios (IRRs) with 95% CIs. Results: In total, 364 players completed the study, including 146 players in the neck training group and 218 players in the comparison group. Despite players in the neck training group being less likely to self-report a concussion (IRR = 0.23; 95% CI = 0.03, 1.04) and pain on heading a ball (IRR = 0.62; 95% CI = 0.34, 1.07), only a lower incidence of possible concussive events (IRR = 0.38; 95% CI = 0.14, 0.90; P <.05) was significant. Conclusions: Integrating neuromuscular neck exercises into injury-reduction exercise programs has the potential to reduce the risk of adolescent soccer players sustaining a possible concussive event, concussion, or pain on heading a ball.
Gravitational Wave Astronomy

description: As several large scale interferometers are beginning to take data at sensitivities where astrophysical sources are predicted, the direct detection of gravitational waves may well be imminent. This would open the gravitational-wave window to our Universe, and should lead to a much improved understanding of the most violent processes imaginable; the formation of black holes and neutron stars following core collapse supernovae and the merger of compact objects at the end of binary inspiral.

Quantum Gravitational Corrections to the Entropy of a Schwarzschild Black Hole

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We calculate quantum gravitational corrections to the entropy of black holes using the Wald entropy formula within an effective field theory approach to quantum gravity. The corrections to the entropy are calculated to second order in curvature and we calculate a subset of those at third order. We show that, at third order in curvature, interesting issues appear that had not been considered previously in the literature. The fact that the Schwarzschild metric receives corrections at this order in the curvature expansion has important implications for the entropy calculation. Indeed, the horizon radius and the temperature receive corrections. These corrections need to be carefully considered when calculating the Wald entropy.
The Discrete and Continuum Broken Line Process

description: In this work we introduce the discrete-space broken line process (with discrete and continues parameter values) and derive some of its properties. We explore polygonal Markov fields techniques developed by Arak-Surgailis. The discrete version is presented first and a natural continuum generalization to a continuous object living on the discrete lattice is then proposed and studied. The broken lines also resemble the Young diagram and the Hammersley process and are useful for computing last passage percolation values and finding maximal oriented paths. For a class of passage time distributions there is a family of boundary conditions that make the process stationary and self-dual. For such distributions there is a law of large numbers and the process extends to the infinite lattice. A proof of Burke's theorem emerges from the construction. We present a simple proof of the explicit law of large numbers for last passage percolation as an application. Finally we show that the exponential and geometric distributions are the only non-trivial ones that yield self-duality.
