description: A survey of molecular cores covering the infrared dark cloud known as the M17 southwest extension (M17 SWex) has been carried out with the 45 m Nobeyama Radio Telescope. Based on the N2H+ (J= 1-0) data obtained, we have identified 46 individual cores whose masses are in the range 43 to 3026 Mo. We examined the relationship between the physical parameters of the cores and those of young stellar objects (YSOs) associated with the cores found in the literature. The comparison of the virial mass and the core mass indicates that most of the cores can be gravitationally stable if we assume a large external pressure. Among the 46 cores, we found four massive cores with YSOs. They have large mass of >~ 1000Mo and line width of >~ 2.5 km s^-1 which are similar to those of clumps forming high mass stars. However, previous studies have shown that there is no active massive star formation in this region. Recent measurements of near-infrared polarization infer that the magnetic field around M17 SWex is likely to be strong enough to support the cores against self-gravity. We therefore suggest that the magnetic field may prevent the cores from collapsing, causing the low-level of massive star formation in M17 SWex.

description: Previous studies have shown that livestock (LA)-MRSA ST398 evolved from a human-adapted methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) clone. However, detailed information regarding ST9 is still unclear. Here, we characterized a community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) ST9-SCCmec XII isolate that has not been previously reported to cause serious disease in China. We obtained whole-genome sequences of one ST9-t899-XII isolate—ZY462471—from a patient with bloodstream infection without livestock contact. The antibiotic susceptibilities of ZY462471 were determined and the clinical information was extracted from medical notes and compared with twenty-seven previously sequenced genomes. Phylogenetic reconstruction was performed to investigate the probable host evolutionary origins of ZY462471, and the difference in resistome and virulence factors were investigated. Virulence assay was performed to evaluate the high virulence potential of ZY462471 and compare the virulence between the closest ST9 MSSA neighbours. Clinical data suggested that ZY462471 is a CA-MRSA. Phylogenetic analysis showed a much closer relationship of ZY462471 with human-associated MSSA ST9 isolates than other LA-MRSA ST9 isolates, suggesting that ZY462471 probably evolved from ST9 MSSA predecessors by acquiring an SCCmec cassette. Importantly, virulence assays indicated that ZY462471 was highly virulent and compared with the MSSA ST9 predecessors, ZY462471 did not show attenuated virulence. Finally, we found that ZY462471 harboured an immune evasion cluster (IEC)-carrying βC-Φ, which is typically found in human clinical S. aureus rather than LA-MRSA isolates, suggesting that ZY4762471 obtained the IEC-carrying βC-Φs from human clinical S. aureus strains. Considering its high virulence potential, this strain should be monitored to prevent more widespread dissemination.

description: We apply a program evaluation technique to data obtained from rural Kenya to assess the patterns of adoption of improved pigeonpea varieties. The sample adoption rate of improved pigeonpea is found to be 36% while potential adoption rate is estimated at 48%. The adoption gap resulting from the incomplete exposure to the improved pigeonpea is 12%. Adoption is prominent among farmers that close to the agricultural offices, and among younger and wealthier farmers. The findings suggest that there is scope for increasing pigeonpea adoption once the farmers are exposed to the new technologies and once the associated constraints are addressed.

description: The total photoabsorption cross sections of 6He and 6Li are calculated microscopically with full inclusion of the six-nucleon final state interaction using semirealistic nucleon-nucleon potentials. The Lorentz Integral Transform (LIT) method and the effective interaction approach for the hyperspherical formalism are employed. While 6Li has a single broad giant resonance peak, there are two well separated peaks for 6He corresponding to the breakup of the neutron halo and the alpha core, respectively. The comparison with the few available experimental data is discussed.

description: The strong coupling between intense laser fields and valence electrons in molecules causes a distortion of the potential energy hypersurfaces which determine the motion of nuclei in a molecule and influences possible reaction pathways. The coupling strength varies with the angle between the light electric field and valence orbital, and thereby adds another dimension to the effective molecular potential energy surface, allowing for the emergence of light-induced conical intersections. Here, we demonstrate in theory and experiment that the full complexity of such light-induced potential energy surfaces can be uncovered. In H$_2^+$, the simplest of molecules, we observe a strongly modulated angular distribution of protons which has escaped prior observation. These modulations directly result from ultrafast dynamics on the light-induced molecular potentials and can be modified by varying the amplitude, duration and phase of the mid-infrared dressing field. This opens new opportunities for manipulating the dissociation of small molecules using strong laser fields.

On the Evolution of the Ionizing Emissivity of Galaxies and Quasars Required by the Hydrogen Reionization
Creators: name: Miralda-Escude, Jordi
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The average rate of emission of ionizing radiation per unit volume (or emissivity) in the universe can be calculated as the ratio of the intensity of the ionizing background to the mean free path of ionizing photons. The intensity of the background is measured from the mean transmitted flux of the Lya forest, and the mean free path is measured from the abundance of Lyman limit systems, which has been observed so far up to z=4. This yields an emissivity that is not larger than 7 ionizing photons per Hubble time for each atom in the universe at z=4, which may reasonably arise from QSOs and star-forming galaxies. In order for the reionization to end by z=6, and assuming that the clumping factor of ionized gas during the reionization epoch is close to unity, this ionizing emissivity cannot decline from z=4 up to z ~ 9 by more than a factor 1.5. If the clumping factor were much larger than unity, then the emissivity would need to rapidly increase with redshift. Unless the ionizing emissivity increases substantially from z=4 to z ~ 10 - 20, the Thomson optical depth to the CMB must be in the range 0.045 < tau < 0.09.

Band alignment and scattering considerations for enhancing the thermoelectric power factor of complex materials: The case of Co-based half-Heuslers

description: Half-Heuslers, an emerging thermoelectric material group, has complex bandstructures with multiple bands that can be aligned through band engineering approaches, giving us an opportunity to improve their power factor. In this work, going beyond the constant relaxation time approximation, we perform an investigation of the benefits of band alignment in improving the thermoelectric power factor under different density of states dependent scattering scenarios. As a test case we consider the Co-based p-type half-Heuslers TiCoSb, NbCoSn and ZrCoSb. First, using simplified effective mass models combined with Boltzmann transport, we investigate the conditions of band alignment that are beneficial to the thermoelectric power factor under three different carrier scattering scenarios: i) the usual constant relaxation time approximation, ii) intra-band scattering restricted to the current valley with the scattering rates proportional to the density of states as dictated by Fermi's Golden Rule, and iii) both intra- and inter-band scattering across all available valleys, with the rates determined by the total density of states at the relevant energies. We demonstrate that the band-alignment outcome differs significantly depending on the scattering details. Next, using the density functional theory calculated bandstructures of the half-Heuslers we study their power factor behavior under strain induced band alignment. We show that strain can improve the power factor of half-Heuslers, but the outcome heavily depends on the curvatures of the bands involved, the specifics of the carrier scattering mechanisms, and the initial band separation. Importantly, we also demonstrate that band alignment is not always beneficial to the power factor.

description: Recent progress in the three-dimensional modeling of supernovae (SN) has shown the importance of asymmetries for the explosion. This calls for a reconsideration of the modeling of the subsequent phase, the supernova remnant (SNR), which has commonly relied on simplified ejecta models. In this paper we bridge SN and SNR studies by using the output of a SN simulation as the input of a SNR simulation carried on until 500~yr. We consider the case of a thermonuclear explosion of a carbon-oxygen white dwarf star as a model for a Type Ia SN; specifically we use the N100 delayed detonation model of Seitenzahl et al 2013. In order to analyze the morphology of the SNR, we locate the three discontinuities that delineate the shell of shocked matter: the forward shock, the contact discontinuity, and the reverse shock, and we decompose their radial variations as a function of angular scale and time. Assuming a uniform ambient medium, we find that the impact of the SN on the SNR may still be visible after hundreds of years. Previous 3D simulations aiming at reproducing Tycho's SNR, that started out from spherically symmetric initial conditions, failed to reproduce structures at the largest angular scales observed in X-rays. Our new simulations strongly suggest that the missing ingredient was the initial asymmetries from the SN itself. With this work we establish a way of assessing the viability of SN models based on the resulting morphology of the SNR.

description: We determine the vacuum structure and phases of N=1 theories obtained via a mass μfor the adjoint chiral superfield in N=2, SO(n_c) SQCD. For large number of flavors these theories have two groups of vacua. The first exhibits dynamical breaking of flavor symmetry \USp(2n_f) \to U(n_f) and arises as a relevant deformation of a non-trivial superconformal theory. These are in the confined phase. The second group, in an IR-free phase with unbroken flavor symmetry, is produced from a Coulomb branch singularity with Seiberg's dual gauge symmetry. In the large-μregime both groups of vacua are well-described by dual quarks and mesons, and dynamical symmetry breaking in the first group occurs via meson condensation. We follow the description of these vacua from weak to strong coupling and demonstrate a nontrivial agreement between the phases and the number of vacua in the two regimes. We construct the semiclassical monopole flavor multiplets and argue that their multiplicity is consistent with the number of N=1 vacua.

description: We have reconstructed longitude-latitude maps of column dust optical depth (CDOD) for Martian year (MY) 34 (May 5, 2017 --- March 23, 2019) using observations by the Mars Climate Sounder (MCS) aboard NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft. Our methodology works by gridding standard and newly available estimates of CDOD from MCS limb observations, using the "iterative weighted binning" methodology. In this work, we reconstruct four gridded CDOD maps per sol, at different Mars Universal Times. Together with the seasonal and day-to-day variability, the use of several maps per sol allows to explore also the daily variability of CDOD in the MCS dataset, which is shown to be particularly strong during the MY 34 equinoctial Global Dust Event (GDE). Regular maps of CDOD are then produced by daily averaging and spatially interpolating the irregularly gridded maps using a standard "kriging" interpolator, and can be used as "dust scenario" for numerical model simulations. In order to understand whether the daily variability of CDOD has a physical explanation, we have carried out numerical simulations with the "Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique" Mars Global Climate Model. Using a "free dust" run initiated at $L_s \sim 210^\circ$ with the corresponding kriged map, but subsequently free of further CDOD forcing, we show that the model is able to account for some of the observed daily variability in CDOD. The model serves also to confirm that the use of the MY 34 daily-averaged dust scenario in a GCM produces results consistent with those obtained for the MY 25 GDE.

description: We present Keck near-infrared and WIYN optical photometry of a sample of galaxies detected by near-infrared narrowband imaging in the fields of quasar metal absorption line systems at z~2.4. Wide separations (0.6-1.6/h Mpc) from the quasars indicates that they are not directly responsible for the absorption systems. From the color excess of the galaxies we derived line fluxes, star formation rates, and equivalent widths. The data are consistent with one source having an active nucleus and two sources containing regions of star formation. The blue (R-K) colors for the sources suggest relatively lesser dust content. We discuss possible projects using current wide-field infrared instruments, which can cover an order of magnitude greater area with modest allocations of telescope time.

description: We study physics possibility of Very Long Base-Line (VLBL) Neutrino-Oscillation Experiments with the High Intensity Proton Accelerator, which will be completed by the year 2007 in Tokai-village, Japan. As a target, a 100 kton-level water-Cerenkov detector is considered at 2,100 km away. Assuming the pulsed narrow-band nu_mu beams, we study sensitivity of such experiments to the neutrino mass hierarchy, the mass-squared differences, one CP phase and three angles of the lepton-flavor-mixing matrix. We find that experiments at a distance 2,100 km can determine the neutrino mass hierarchy if the mixing matrix element U_{e3} is not too small. The CP phase and U_{e3} can be constrained if the large-mixing-angle solution of the solar-neutrino deficit is realized.

description: Absorption of high-energy $\barν_e$ over electrons above the W boson production threshold is reexamined. It is pointed out that, in the case of photon emissions along the direction of incident high-energy $\barν_e$, the kinematically allowed average energy carried by the final state hard photon can be $\leq 1%$ of the incident $\barν_e$ energy above the W boson production threshold. The differential energy spectrum for the final state hard photon is calculated. We also discuss implications of our results for the prospective search of high-energy $\barν_e$ through this final state hard photon.

description: Using the anti-de Sitter/conformal field theory correspondence, we relate the shear viscosity ηof the finite-temperature N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in the large N, strong-coupling regime with the absorption cross section of low-energy gravitons by a near-extremal black three-brane. We show that in the limit of zero frequency this cross section coincides with the area of the horizon. From this result we find η=π/8 N^2T^3. We conjecture that for finite 't Hooft coupling (g_YM)^2N the shear viscosity is η=f((g_YM)^2N) N^2T^3, where f(x) is a monotonic function that decreases from O(x^{-2}\ln^{-1}(1/x)) at small x to π/8 when x\to\infty.

description: Cloacaspis ceryx (Fortey, 1974)   Figure 4B–F
 Balnibarbi ceryx Fortey, 1974: 29.
HOLOTYPE: Cranidium, SMA 84034 (figured in Fortey, 1974: pl. 8, fig. 1).
TYPE LOCALITY: Profilstranda, Olenidsletta Member, Valhallfonna Formation, Ny Friesland, Spitsbergen, Svalbard.
 EMENDED DIAGNOSIS: Cloacaspis species with greater (sag., exsag.) preglabellar length than other species of the genus; anterior border comes to a point on midline. Moderately sized pygidium with three axial rings.
 DISCUSSION: Fortey (1974) distinguished Cloacaspis ceryx ceryx and Cloacaspis ceryx anataphra by the latter having a shorter (sag.) preglabellar field relative to the glabella, no visible pits in the anterior border furrow, and a smooth exoskeletal surface. Examination of new and old specimens suggests that the mean preglabellar/glabella ratio is on average shorter in C. ceryx anataphra, but there is overlap in variation in this variable. In addition, while pits are not visible in the anterior border furrow, they are present and visible on the internal mold (fig. 4B, C). On the few specimens where it was possible to estimate the number of anterior pits, the number is slightly smaller (25–30) compared to C. ceryx ceryx (>30). Although granulation is very fine on C. ceryx ceryx and its preservation is very sensitive to any erosion of the surface (fig. 4D–F), it does appear that some specimens truly lack surface granulation. Based on this evidence, the two taxa are retained as subspecies, but the species complex is reassigned to the genus Cloacaspis based on the results of the phylogenetic analysis. The species complex is united with other Cloacaspis species by having advanced genal spines (char. 34), relatively large palpebral lobes (char. 19), and forward curvature of the palpebral lobe (char. 20). However, Cloacaspis ceryx shares some characters with some Balnibarbi species, including greater divergence of the anterior dorsal suture (char. 9), relatively wide palpebral lobes (char. 21), relatively short 3P (char. 25) larger number of axial rings (char. 37), and medial indent on posterior margin of pygidium (char. 44). The latter three characters are also shared with Cloacaspis dejecta.

description: The Cosmic Lens All-Sky Survey (CLASS) is an international collaborative program which has obtained high-resolution radio images of over 10000 flat-spectrum radio sources in order to create the largest and best studied statistical sample of radio-loud gravitationally lensed systems. With this survey, combined with detailed studies of the lenses found therein, constraints can be placed on the expansion rate, matter density, and dark energy (e.g. cosmological constant, quintessence) content of the Universe that are complementary to and independent of those obtained through other methods. CLASS is aimed at identifying lenses where multiple images are formed from compact flat-spectrum radio sources, which should be easily identifiable in the radio maps. Because CLASS is radio-based, dust obscuration in lensing galaxies is not a factor, and the relative insensitivity of the instrument to environmental conditions leads to nearly uniform sensitivity and resolution over the entire survey. In four observing seasons from 1994-1999, CLASS has observed 13783 radio sources with the VLA at 8.4 GHz at 0.2 arcsecond resolution. When combined with the JVAS survey, the CLASS sample contains over 16,000 images. A complete sample of 11685 flat-spectrum sources was observed, selected from GB6 catalogue at 4.85 GHz and the NVSS at 1.4 GHz. So far, CLASS has found 16 new gravitational lens systems, and the JVAS/CLASS survey contains a total of 22 lenses. (Abridged)

description: Upcoming synoptic surveys are set to generate an unprecedented amount of data. This requires an automatic framework that can quickly and efficiently provide classification labels for several new object classification challenges. Using data describing 11 types of variable stars from the Catalina Real-Time Transient Surveys (CRTS), we illustrate how to capture the most important information from computed features and describe detailed methods of how to robustly use Information Theory for feature selection and evaluation. We apply three Machine Learning (ML) algorithms and demonstrate how to optimize these classifiers via cross-validation techniques. For the CRTS dataset, we find that the Random Forest (RF) classifier performs best in terms of balanced-accuracy and geometric means. We demonstrate substantially improved classification results by converting the multi-class problem into a binary classification task, achieving a balanced-accuracy rate of $\sim$99 per cent for the classification of $δ$-Scuti and Anomalous Cepheids (ACEP). Additionally, we describe how classification performance can be improved via converting a 'flat-multi-class' problem into a hierarchical taxonomy. We develop a new hierarchical structure and propose a new set of classification features, enabling the accurate identification of subtypes of cepheids, RR Lyrae and eclipsing binary stars in CRTS data.

The Forward-Backward Asymmetry of B to (pi,K) l^+ l^-: Supersymmetry at Work

description: We analyze the forward-backward asymmetry of the decays B to (pi,K) l^+ l^- with l = mu or tau in the framework of the constrained minimal supersymmetric standard model. We find that, the asymmetry is enhanced at large tan beta and depends strongly on the sign of the mu parameter. For mu > 0, the asymmetry is typically large and observable whereas for mu < 0, it changes the sign and is suppressed by an order of magnitude. Including cosmological constraints we find that the asymmetry has a maximal value of about 30 %, produced when Higgs- and gauge- induced flavor violations are of comparable size, at a value of tan beta simeq 35. The present constraints from the B-factories are too weak to constrain parameter space, and the regions excluded by them are already disfavoured by at least one of B to X_s gamma, g-2, and/or cosmology. The size of the asymmetry is mainly determined by the flavor of the final state lepton rather than the flavor of the pseudoscalar.

description: We propose an attractive scenario of grand unified theories in which doublet-triplet splitting is beautifully realized in SO(10) unification using Dimopoulos-Wilczek mechanism. The anomalous U(1)_A gauge symmetry plays essential roles in the doublet-triplet splitting mechanism. It is interesting that the anomalous U(1)_A charges determine the unification scale and mass spectrum of additional particles as well as the order of Yukawa couplings of quarks and leptons. For the neutrino sector, bi-maximal mixing angles are naturally obtained and proton decay via dimension 5 operators is suppressed. It is suggestive that the anomalous U(1)_A gauge symmetry motivated by superstring theory excellently solves the two biggest problems in grand unified theories, fermion mass hierarchy problem and doublet-triplet splitting problem.

description: Classical soft graviton theorem gives an expression for the spectrum of low frequency gravitational radiation, emitted during a classical scattering process, in terms of the trajectories and spin angular momenta of ingoing and outgoing objects, including hard radiation. This has been proved to subleading order in the expansion in powers of frequency by taking the classical limit of the quantum soft graviton theorem. In this paper we give a direct proof of this result by analyzing the classical equations of motion of a generic theory of gravity coupled to interacting matter in space-time dimensions larger than four.
