Three-point correlators: finite-size giant magnons and singlet scalar operators on higher string levels

Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: In the framework of the semiclassical approach, we compute the normalized structure constants in three-point correlation functions, when two of the vertex operators correspond to "heavy" string states, while the third vertex corresponds to a "light" state. This is done for the case when the "heavy" string states are finite-size giant magnons, carrying one or two angular momenta. The "light" states are taken to be singlet scalar operators on higher string levels. We first consider the case of string theory on AdS_5xS^5 dual to N = 4 super Yang-Mills. Then we extend the obtained results to the gamma-deformed AdS_5x S^5, corresponding to N = 1 super Yang-Mills theory, appearing as an exactly marginal deformation of N=4 super Yang-Mills.

description: Given a causal model of some domain and a particular story that has taken place in this domain, the problem of actual causation is deciding which of the possible causes for some effect actually caused it. One of the most influential approaches to this problem has been developed by Halpern and Pearl in the context of structural models. In this paper, I argue that this is actually not the best setting for studying this problem. As an alternative, I offer the probabilistic logic programming language of CP-logic. Unlike structural models, CP-logic incorporates the deviant/default distinction that is generally considered an important aspect of actual causation, and it has an explicitly dynamic semantics, which helps to formalize the stories that serve as input to an actual causation problem.

Technipion Limits from LHC Higgs Searches

description: LHC searches for the standard model Higgs Boson in di-photon or di-tau decay modes place strong constraints on the light top-pion state predicted in technicolor models that include colored technifermions. Compared with the standard Higgs Boson, the top-pions have an enhanced production rate (largely because the technipion decay constant is smaller than the weak scale) and also enhanced branching ratios into di-photon and di-tau final states (largely due to the suppression of WW decays of the technipions). These factors combine to make the technipions more visible in both channels than a standard model Higgs would be. Hence, the recent ATLAS and CMS searches for Higgs bosons exclude the presence of technipions with masses from 110 GeV to nearly twice the top-quark mass in technicolor models that (a) include colored technifermions (b) feature topcolor dynamics and (c) have technicolor groups with three or more technicolors. For certain models, the limits also apply out to higher technipion masses or down to the minimum number of technicolors. The limits may be softened somewhat in models where extended technicolor plays a significant role in producing the top quark's mass. Additional LHC data on di-tau and di-photon final states will be extremely valuable in further exploring technicolor parameter space.

Effect of pulp rheology on flotation : the nickel sulfide ore with asbestos gangue system
Creators: name: Kilickaplan, Isil
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Pulp rheology is a sensitive indicator of the state of aggregation/dispersion of mineral particles. In this study, possible correlation between the rheological properties of flotation pulp and the flotation response was investigated through a series of rheological and batch flotation tests. The nickel-sulfide ore from the Mt. Keith plant (Western Australia) was used for the tests. It is a low-grade nickel sulfide ore which is characterized by complex mineralogical composition with a large content of serpentine minerals. The experimental program included agglomerate flotation tests and rheological tests with the use of a slurry produced by grinding the nickel-sulfide ore. In order to see the effect of solids content on flotation, a series of tests were performed at various pulp densities in the absence and presence of oil in both conditioning and flotation stages. The agglomerate flotation and rheological tests were repeated with dispersants in order to investigate the correlation between degree of agglomeration/dispersion and flotation response. The agglomerate flotation tests conducted at various solids content in the flotation stage revealed that the fastest flotation rate was observed at the lowest solids content. The entrainment was found to increase with increasing solids content due to elevated pulp viscosity. The “boiling” was observed in the flotation cell in the tests at a high pulp density, the effect likely associated with a high pulp viscosity. High pulp viscosity is clearly increasing the size of bubbles in the flotation system. In line with this the high recoveries by entrainment are observed in the tests at high pulp density. Under such conditions the concentrate grade was low since a large proportion of the nickel recovery resulted from entrainment. In distilled water the use of a dispersant improved considerably flotation performance. The presence of chrysotile in the system strongly affects the pulp viscosity. In the tests with pure chrysotile the pulp with a solids content of around 0.8% by volume is close to the critical packing fraction. However, in the tests with the nickel ore containing more than 80% of chrysotile the viscosity is still far from the critical packing even at 7.6 % solids content by volume. This shows a very beneficial dilution effect; the presence of other non fibrous minerals dramatically decreases the viscosity of the chrysotile suspensions. Without such minerals processing of this ore would have been entirely impossible.

description: We investigate the interaction between two filaments and the subsequent filament eruption event observed from different view angles by Hinode, the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO), and the Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO). In the event, the two filaments rose high, interacted with each other, and finally were ejected along two different paths. We measure the bulk-flow velocity using spectroscopic data. We find significant outflows at the speed of a few hundreds of km/s during the filament eruption, and also some downflows at a few tens of km/s at the edge of the eruption region in the late stage of the eruption. The erupting material was composed of plasmas with a wide temperature range of 10^4-10^6 K. These results shed light on the filament nature and the coronal dynamics.

More precisely, we describe the large deviations of SLE$_κ$ when the $κ$ parameter goes to zero in the chordal and multichordal case and to infinity in the radial case. The rate functions, namely Loewner and Loewner-Kufarev energies, are closely related to the Weil-Petersson class of quasicircles and real rational functions.

description: There are many extensions to the Standard Model of particle physics which predict the addition of a U(1) symmetry, and/or extra spatial dimensions, which give rise to new high mass resonances such as the Z' and Randall-Sundrum graviton. The LHC provides a unique opportunity to explore the TeV scale where these phenomena may become apparent, and can be searched for using the precision tracking and high energy resolution calorimetry of the ATLAS detector. This poster presents the search for high mass resonances in the dilepton channel, and was conducted with an integrated luminosity of 1.08/1.21 fb-1 in the dielectron/dimuon channel respectively, at a centre of mass energy \surd s = 7 TeV.

description: Modeling sequence evolution on phylogenetic trees is a useful technique in computational biology. Especially powerful are models which take account of the heterogeneous nature of sequence evolution according to the "grammar" of the encoded gene features. However, beyond a modest level of model complexity, manual coding of models becomes prohibitively labor-intensive. We demonstrate, via a set of case studies, the new built-in model-prototyping capabilities of XRate (macros and Scheme extensions). These features allow rapid implementation of phylogenetic models which would have previously been far more labor-intensive. XRate's new capabilities for lineage-specific models, ancestral sequence reconstruction, and improved annotation output are also discussed. XRate's flexible model-specification capabilities and computational efficiency make it well-suited to developing and prototyping phylogenetic grammar models. XRate is available as part of the DART software package: http://biowiki.org/DART .

description: In this paper we present the implementation of an efficient formalism for the generation of arbitrary non-Gaussian initial conditions for use in N-body simulations. The methodology involves the use of a separable modal approach for decomposing a primordial bispectrum or trispectrum. This approach allows for the far more efficient generation of the non-Gaussian initial conditions already described in the literature, as well as the generation for the first time of non-separable bispectra and the special class of diagonal-free trispectra. The modal approach also allows for the reconstruction of the spectra from given realisations, a fact which is exploited to provide an accurate consistency check of the simulations.

description: In this article, we consider a gradient flow stemming from a problem in two-scale topology optimization. We use the phase-field method, where a Ginzburg--Landau term with obstacle potential is added to the cost functional, which contains the usual compliance but also an additional contribution including a local volume constraint in a penalty term. The minimization of such an energy by its gradient-flow is analyzed in this paper.

description: Magnetic flux redistribution lies at the heart of the problem of star formation in dense cores of molecular clouds that are magnetized to a realistic level. If all of the magnetic flux of a typical core were to be dragged into the central star, the stellar field strength would be orders of magnitude higher than the observed values. This well-known "magnetic flux problem" can in principle be resolved through non-ideal MHD effects. Two dimensional (axisymmetric) calculations have shown that ambipolar diffusion, in particular, can transport magnetic flux outward relative to matter, allowing material to enter the central object without dragging the field lines along. We show through simulations that such axisymmetric protostellar accretion flows are unstable in three dimensions to magnetic interchange instability in the azimuthal direction. The instability is driven by the magnetic flux redistributed from the matter that enters the central object. It typically starts to develop during the transition from the prestellar phase of star formation to the protostellar mass accretion phase. In the latter phase, the magnetic flux is transported outward mainly through advection, by strongly magnetized low-density regions that expand against the collapsing inflow. The tussle between the gravity-driven infall and magnetically driven expansion leads to a filamentary inner accretion flow, more disordered than previously pictured. The efficient outward transport of magnetic flux by advection lowers the field strength at small radii, making the magnetic braking less efficient and the formation of rotationally supported disks easier in principle. However, we find no evidence for such disks in any of our rotating collapse simulations. We conclude that the inner protostellar accretion flow is shaped to a large extent by this magnetic interchange instability. How disks form in such an environment is unclear.

Understanding pathways between social conditions and health : evaluating the "fundamental" nature of the relationship between socioeconomic status and health in Canada and the United States
Creators: name: Buse, Christopher Gustav

description: Link and Phelan (1995) have written extensively on the pervasive and robust association between social conditions (i.e. social determinants) such as SES and health over the course of human history. In what they term "the fundamental cause perspective", they theorize that SES provides flexible resources of power, prestige, and beneficial social connections that create gradients in health which persist through time, even though more proximal determinants of health may change. This thesis investigates the fundamental cause perspective by testing four specific areas relating to the fundamental nature of the SES/health association. First, it seeks to answer whether or not this theory is contextually or culturally specific by comparing the United States with Canada. Second, it develops the idea that some social conditions (gender, race/ethnicity, and immigrant status) may be pre-fundamental to the SES/health association in an attempt to explain where SES disparities come from. Third, it seeks to test whether or not tangible resources (health behaviours and healthcare resources) mediate the SES/health association. Finally, it examines the interaction between each of gender, race/ethnicity and immigrant status with measures of SES to determine whether SES may be more or less meaningful to specific subsets of the population. Findings largely support the fundamental cause perspective in that SES is a significant predictor of self-rated health, asthma, and overweight/obesity in both countries and that the strength and direction of these associations are remarkably similar. Although some support exists for the pre-fundamental potential of racial/ethnic inequality to drive the SES/self-rated health association, gender, race/ethnicity, and immigrant status are not antecedent to the SES/health association. Health behaviours were found to mediate the SES/self-rated health association and healthcare resources suppressed the SES/self-rated health association. Little to no mediation occurred across other health indicators. Finally, significant interactions exist between gender and income, gender and education, and immigrant status and income leading to a discussion of the fundamental importance of considering intersections between SES and other social variables.

description: A new velocity scale is derived that yields a Reynolds number independent profile for the streamwise turbulent fluctuations in the near-wall region of wall bounded flows for $y^+<25$. The scaling demonstrates the important role played by the wall shear stress fluctuations and how the large eddies determine the Reynolds number dependence of the near-wall turbulence distribution.

Nicaea and sovereignty : Constantine's Council of Nicaea as an important crossroad in the development of European state sovereignty
Creators: name: Bateman, Craig Garfield
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This research is concerned with the development of international law in so far as it relates to the historical background for the Peace of Westphalia, which itself is understood as a seminal event in the history of the growth of both the theoretical notion of sovereignty and, in its present milieu, as an attribute of states. This research gets behind Westphalia, to suggest a plausible nexus of ideology and events which led to these treaties, and to focus specifically on the event which I suggest was the sin qua non development which led to the Westphalian concord. I suggest that the course set for the Church at the Council of Nicaea in 325 C.E. best explains both the context and initial impetus for the treaty-making at the Peace of Westphalia in the seventeenth century. I also suggest that the similarities between the two politically charged congresses are far more than random correlatives. In this research I will discuss the importance of Nicaea to Westphalia and also discuss some of the historical lineage pursuant to the idea of state sovereignty and look at its ultimate interconnectedness with the Christian religion. My suggestion in this research is that the late antiquity transformation of the Christian church from spiritual and cultural governance to temporal imperial sovereignty in Europe suggests a trenchant indication of what Nicaea represented in terms of setting a trajectory for the church's political sovereignty, a sovereignty which ultimately begun to be wrested back from it at Westphalia. This research suggests that the sovereignty which characterized the Late Antiquity Roman Empire under the Emperor Constantine was bequeathed to the Christian Church at Nicaea by fiat. In other words, this research is suggesting a starting point for the development of European sovereignty at which Europe's most enduring institution of eighteen-hundred plus years was the main actor: the Roman Catholic Church.

description: We consider a cooperative game defined by an economic lot-sizing problem with heterogeneous costs over a finite time horizon, in which each firm faces demand for a single product in each period and coalitions can pool orders. The model of cooperation works as follows: ordering channels and holding and backlogging technologies are shared among the members of the coalitions. This implies that each firm uses the best ordering channel and holding technology provided by the participants in the consortium. That is, they purchase, hold inventory, pay backlogged demand and make orders at the minimum cost of the coalition members. Thus, firms aim at satisfying their demand over the planing horizon with minimal operation cost. Our contribution is to show that there exist fair allocations of the overall operation cost among the firms so that no group of agents profit from leaving the consortium. Then we propose a parametric family of cost allocations and provide sufficient conditions for this to be a stable family against coalitional defections of firms. Finally, we focus on those periods of the time horizon that are consolidated and we analyze their effect on the stability of cost allocations.

description: We propose a dissipative electro-elastic network model (DENM) to describe the dynamics and statistics of electrostatic fluctuations at active sites of proteins. The model combines the harmonic network of residue beads with overdamped dynamics of the normal modes of the network characterized by two friction coefficients. The electrostatic component is introduced to the model through atomic charges of the protein force field. The overall effect of the electrostatic fluctuations of the network is recorded through the frequency-dependent response functions of the electrostatic potential and electric field at the active site. We also consider the dynamics of displacements of individual residues in the network and the dynamics of distances between pairs of residues. The model is tested against loss spectra of residue displacements and the electrostatic potential and electric field at the heme's iron from all-atom molecular dynamics simulations of three hydrated globular proteins.

 The newly observed specimens resemble those of free-living forms of Mesanophrys carcini Small & Lynn in Aescht, 2001 in all respects except: numbers of somatic kineties (10 in parasitic forms vs 11 in free-living forms) and body shapes (variable in parasitic forms vs constant slim and spindle-shaped to long fusiform in free-living forms) (Grolière & Leglise 1977; Song & Wilbert 2000). These differences may be due to different life-styles and abundance of food sources.

description: Weeds are a significant threat to the agricultural productivity and the environment. The increasing demand for sustainable agriculture has driven innovations in accurate weed control technologies aimed at reducing the reliance on herbicides. With the great success of deep learning in various vision tasks, many promising image-based weed detection algorithms have been developed. This paper reviews recent developments of deep learning techniques in the field of image-based weed detection. The review begins with an introduction to the fundamentals of deep learning related to weed detection. Next, recent progresses on deep weed detection are reviewed with the discussion of the research materials including public weed datasets. Finally, the challenges of developing practically deployable weed detection methods are summarized, together with the discussions of the opportunities for future research.We hope that this review will provide a timely survey of the field and attract more researchers to address this inter-disciplinary research problem.

description: Bedload transport is highly variable, and we address the issue of what value(s) of the transport rate a formula is expected to predict by incorporating two metrics of variance in an elementary scale correlation between the transport rate and stream power. The first captures uncertainty in the empirical relation we develop to describe the efficiency of the bedload transport process, and the second acknowledges that different patterns of transport are experienced under similar hydraulic conditions. Our simple, generalized expression explicitly applies to rivers in which there is always a high availability of mobile sediment on the bed, and we demonstrate that it provides a realistic portrayal of the observed range of transport rates in rivers with a sporadically mobile gravel armour and a characteristic bedload size that is nearly the same as that of the substrate. Accepting that the transport rate is influenced by the nature of the material available at the bed surface which is, in turn, moderated by antecedent flows, we suggest that if effort in the field is required to apply our methodology it should be expended on characterizing the sizes available on the bed between floods, rather than observing active transport during individual events.
