Galactic Wind Shells and High Redshift Radio Galaxies On the Nature of Associated Absorbers
Creators: name: Krause, Martin
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A jet is simulated on the background of a galactic wind headed by a radiative bow shock. The wind shell, which is due to the radiative bow shock, is effectively destroyed by the impact of the jet cocoon, thanks to Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities. Associated strong HI absorption, and possibly also molecular emission, in high redshift radio galaxies which is observed preferentially in the smaller ones may be explained by that model, which is an improvement of an earlier radiative bow shock model. The model requires temperatures of $\approx 10^6$ K in the proto-clusters hosting these objects, and may be tested by high resolution spectroscopy of the Ly$α$ line. The simulations show that -- before destruction -- the jet cocoon fills the wind shell entirely for a considerable time with intact absorption system. Therefore, radio imaging of sources smaller than the critical size should reveal the round central bubbles, if the model is correct.

description: We present a method for detecting starspots on cool stars using the cross-correlation function (CCF) of high resolution molecular spectral templates applied to archival high-resolution spectra of G and K stars observed with HARPS/HARPS-N. We report non-detections of starspots on the Sun even when the Sun was spotted, the solar twin 18 Scorpii, and the very spotted Sun-like star HAT-P-11, suggesting that Sun-like starspot distributions will be invisible to the CCF technique, and should not produce molecular absorption signals which might be confused for signatures of exoplanet atmospheres. We detect strong TiO absorption in the T Tauri K-dwarfs LkCa 4 and AA Tau, consistent with significant coverage by cool regions. We show that despite the non-detections, the technique is sensitive to relatively small spot coverages on M dwarfs and large starspot areas on Sun-like stars.

description: This study uses data from a representative survey of households with preschoolers in Accra, Ghana to (1) examine the importance of care practices for children’s height-forage z-scores (HAZ); and (2) identify subgroups of children for whom good maternal care practices may be particularly important. Good caregiving practices related to child feeding and use of preventive health services were a strong determinant of children’s HAZ, specially among children from the two lower income terciles and children whose mothers had less than secondary schooling. In this population, good care practices could compensate for the negative effects of poverty and low maternal schooling on children’s HAZ. Thus, effective targeting of specific education messages to improve child feeding practices and use of preventive health care could have a major impact on reducing childhood malnutrition in Accra.

description: A new vehicular traffic flow model based on a stochastic jump process in vehicle acceleration and braking is introduced. It is based on a master equation for the single car probability density in space, velocity and acceleration with an additional vehicular chaos assumption and is derived via a Markovian ansatz for car pairs. This equation is analyzed using simple driver interaction models in the spatial homogeneous case. Velocity distributions in stochastic equilibrium, together with the car density dependence of their moments, i.e. mean velocity and scattering and the fundamental diagram are presented.

description: Convex relaxations have been instrumental in solvability of constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs), as well as in the three different generalisations of CSPs: valued CSPs, infinite-domain CSPs, and most recently promise CSPs. In this work, we extend an existing tractability result to the three generalisations of CSPs combined: We give a sufficient condition for the combined basic linear programming and affine integer programming relaxation for exact solvability of promise valued CSPs over infinite-domains. This extends a result of Brakensiek and Guruswami [SODA'20] for promise (non-valued) CSPs (on finite domains).

description: In times of crisis, the prompt and precise classification of disaster-related information shared on social media platforms is crucial for effective disaster response and public safety. During such critical events, individuals use social media to communicate, sharing multimodal textual and visual content. However, due to the significant influx of unfiltered and diverse data, humanitarian organizations face challenges in leveraging this information efficiently. Existing methods for classifying disaster-related content often fail to model users' credibility, emotional context, and social interaction information, which are essential for accurate classification. To address this gap, we propose CrisisSpot, a method that utilizes a Graph-based Neural Network to capture complex relationships between textual and visual modalities, as well as Social Context Features to incorporate user-centric and content-centric information. We also introduce Inverted Dual Embedded Attention (IDEA), which captures both harmonious and contrasting patterns within the data to enhance multimodal interactions and provide richer insights. Additionally, we present TSEqD (Turkey-Syria Earthquake Dataset), a large annotated dataset for a single disaster event, containing 10,352 samples. Through extensive experiments, CrisisSpot demonstrated significant improvements, achieving an average F1-score gain of 9.45% and 5.01% compared to state-of-the-art methods on the publicly available CrisisMMD dataset and the TSEqD dataset, respectively.

description: We study the gauge cooling technique for the complex Langevin method applied to the computation in lattice quantum chromodynamics. We propose a new solver of the minimization problem that optimizes the gauge, which does not include any parameter in each iteration, and shows better performance than the classical gradient descent method especially when the lattice size is large. Two numerical tests are carried out to show the effectiveness of the new algorithm.
Meso-scale computer modeling of lipid-DNA complexes for gene therapy

description: We report on a molecular simulation method which captures the self-assembly of cationic lipid-DNA (CL-DNA) gene delivery complexes. Computational efficiency required for large length- and time-scale simulations is achieved through a coarse-grained representation of the intra-molecular details, and via inter-molecular potentials, which effectively mimic the hydrophobic effect {\em without} explicit solvent. In addition to showing spontaneous self-assembly of complexes, the broad utility of the model is illustrated by demonstrating excellent agreement with X-ray diffraction experimental data for the dependence of the spacing between DNA chains on the concentration of CLs. At high concentrations, the large electrostatic pressure induce the formation of pores in the membranes through which the DNA molecules may escape the complex. We relate this observation to the origin of recently observed enhanced transfection efficiency of lamellar CL-DNA complexes at high charge densities.

We show that the exponential period no longer exists in the case of the s-wave decay with small $Q$ value, where the $Q$ value is the difference between the energy of the initially prepared state and the minimum energy of the continuous eigenstates in the system. We also derive the quantitative condition that this kind of decay process takes place and discuss what kind of system is suitable to observe the decay.

THE POLITICAL ECONOMY OF FOOD SUBSIDY REFORM IN EGYPT

Year: 1999
Subjects: Food Security and Poverty

description: Egypt has a large food subsidy program that has created a relatively effective social safety net, but it has also drained budgetary resources and proved to be poorly targeted toward the poor. Discussions about reforming the system to improve its effectiveness have run into extreme political sensitivities surrounding the issue of food subsidies. Egypt, therefore, well illustrates the quandaries that policymakers and others contemplating food subsidy reform face in developing countries. This study examines the political economy of food subsidy reform in Egypt and discusses the economic and political advantages and disadvantages of nine possible reforms. The study concludes that the reforms that have the greatest chance of success are those that reduce the access of the wealthy while increasing the access of the truly needy, but the timing, sequence, and trade-offs of such reforms have to be taken into account before they are implemented.
A multivariate evolutionary generalised linear model framework with adaptive estimation for claims reserving

description: In this paper, we develop a multivariate evolutionary generalised linear model (GLM) framework for claims reserving, which allows for dynamic features of claims activity in conjunction with dependency across business lines to accurately assess claims reserves. We extend the traditional GLM reserving framework on two fronts: GLM fixed factors are allowed to evolve in a recursive manner, and dependence is incorporated in the specification of these factors using a common shock approach. We consider factors that evolve across accident years in conjunction with factors that evolve across calendar years. This two-dimensional evolution of factors is unconventional as a traditional evolutionary model typically considers the evolution in one single time dimension. This creates challenges for the estimation process, which we tackle in this paper. We develop the formulation of a particle filtering algorithm with parameter learning procedure. This is an adaptive estimation approach which updates evolving factors of the framework recursively over time. We implement and illustrate our model with a simulated data set, as well as a set of real data from a Canadian insurer.

description: The purpose of this paper is to present a complete methodology based on a multidisciplinary approach, that goes from the extraction of features till the classification of a set of different portuguese granites. The set of tools to extract the features that characterise polished surfaces of the granites is mainly based on mathematical morphology. The classification methodology is based on a genetic algorithm capable of search the input feature space used by the nearest neighbour rule classifier. Results show that is adequate to perform feature reduction and simultaneous improve the recognition rate. Moreover, the present methodology represents a robust strategy to understand the proper nature of the images treated, and their discriminant features. KEYWORDS: Portuguese grey granites, feature extraction, mathematical morphology, feature reduction, genetic algorithms, nearest neighbour rule classifiers (k-NNR).

A Solution to the Supersymmetric Fine-Tuning Problem within the MSSM

description: Weak scale supersymmetry has a generic problem of fine-tuning in reproducing the correct scale for electroweak symmetry breaking. The problem is particularly severe in the minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model (MSSM). We present a solution to this problem that does not require an extension of the MSSM at the weak scale. Superparticle masses are generated by a comparable mixture of moduli and anomaly mediated contributions, and the messenger scale of supersymmetry breaking is effectively lowered to the TeV region. Crucial elements for the solution are a large A term for the top squarks and a small B term for the Higgs doublets. Requiring no fine-tuning worse than 20%, we obtain rather sharp predictions on the spectrum. The gaugino masses are almost universal at the weak scale with the mass between 450 and 900 GeV. The squark and slepton masses are also nearly universal at the weak scale with the mass a factor of \sqrt{2} smaller than that of the gauginos. The only exception is the top squarks whose masses split from the other squark masses by about m_t/\sqrt{2}. The lightest Higgs boson mass is smaller than 120 GeV, while the ratio of the vacuum expectation values for the two Higgs doublets, tanβ, is larger than about 5. The lightest superparticle is the neutral Higgsino of the mass below 190 GeV, which can be dark matter of the universe. The mass of the lighter top squark can be smaller than 300 GeV, which may be relevant for Run II at the Tevatron.

description: This paper explores the implications of preference heterogeneity between wives and husbands in nonresource-pooling rural West African households for the effect of crop price changes on agricultural production, i.e., their supply response. A "semicooperative" game-theoretic model of household decisionmaking, in which household members make unilateral time and income allocation decisions and negotiate over who controls these resources, is proposed. The model is used to show that Pareto efficiency in both production and consumption do not hold. It is then employed to simulate the supply response to cotton price increases accompanying agricultural sector liberalization in Burkina Faso in the early 1980s. The simulated semi-cooperative model predicts the cotton supply response of (monogamous) Burkinabé households to be 25 percent below that which would ensue in households facing the same production constraints yet whose members have identical preferences. The analysis indicates that in nonresource-pooling agricultural households, preference heterogeneity can be expected to mute supply response and may do so in a quantitatively significant manner. It illustrates how an intrahousehold approach that allows for such heterogeneity and for disaggregation of resource control by gender contributes to a better understanding of price effects.

description: In this paper we explore the properties of the z=6.853 obscured hyperluminous quasar COS-87259, discovered in the Cosmological Evolution Survey (COSMOS) field, with our recently developed Bayesian spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting code SMART (Spectral energy distributions Markov chain Analysis with Radiative Transfer models). SMART fits SEDs exclusively with multicomponent radiative transfer models that constitute four different types of pre-computed libraries for the active galactic nucleus (AGN) torus, the starburst and the spheroidal or disc host. We explore two smooth radiative transfer models for the AGN torus and two two-phase models, in order to put constraints on the AGN fraction of the galaxy, the black hole mass and its star formation rate (SFR). We find that either of the smooth tapered disc or the two-phase flared disc models provide a good fit to the SED of COS-87259. The best-fitting models predict an AGN fraction in the range 86-92 per cent, a bolometric AGN luminosity of 5.8-10.3 x 10^13 Lo, a black hole mass of 1.8-3.2 x 10^9 Mo (assuming the quasar is accreting at the Eddington limit) and an SFR in the range 1985-2001 Mo/yr. The predicted space density of such objects in the redshift range 4-7 is about 20 times more than that of co-eval unobscured quasars.

A conceptual model for apparent free ammonia inhibition in wastewater systems
Creators: name: Simm, Robert
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The original hypothesis for this research program was that free hydroxylamine, and not free ammonia, is the true cause of nitrite accumulation in wastewater treatment systems. This hypothesis was developed based .upon the observation that nitrite accumulation appears to be a function of both free ammonia and dissolved oxygen concentration, as well as the work of Yang and Alleman (1992) who demonstrated hydroxylamine production in batch experiments. The starting point of the research program was the development of a suitable hydroxylamine analysis method for wastewater applications. The method developed as part of this thesis combines simplicity, good yields, and a relatively low detection limit. Measurable concentrations of hydroxylamine were not detected in completely stirred tank reactor (CSTR) or sequencing batch reactor (SBR) systems treating synthetic waste and exhibiting nitrite accumulation. In addition, even though hydroxylamine production coincided with nitrite accumulation in batch experiments, several lines of evidence suggested it was unlikely that hydroxylamine was the primary cause of observed nitrite accumulation. Batch tests conducted using mixed liquor samples collected from reactors operated for this research program indicated free ammonia was probably not inhibitory to nitrite-oxidizers at commonly reported concentrations. Therefore, free ammonia inhibition trials were undertaken using pure cultures of Nitrospira moscoviensis, since Nitrospira spp. were the predominant nitrite-oxidizers in the systems studied for this research program. The results of these experiments support the conclusion that free ammonia is probably not inhibitory to nitriteoxidizing organisms in wastewater systems. Nitrous oxide emissions coincided with nitrite accumulation in every case studied. Several experiments suggested autotrophic denitrification of nitrite by ammonia-oxidizing organisms as the most likely source. FISH analyses conducted for this research program showed that ammonia and nitrite-oxidizing organisms grew in colonies in close proximity to each other. It is believed that the increase in oxygen utilization and denitrification of nitrite to nitrous oxide by ammonia-oxidizers following a free ammonia perturbation, which results in reduced substrate availability for nitrite-oxidizers, is the true cause of apparent free ammonia inhibition. A conceptual model explaining apparent free ammonia inhibition of nitrite-oxidizing organisms has been developed and is presented.

description: We calculate the anisotropy energy of a single-domain ferromagnetic particle in which the only source of anisotropy is the presence of non-magnetic impurities. We find that such anisotropy takes the form of combined easy-axis and easy-plane anisotropies, with random orientations of the axes. Typically the anisotropy energy is of order $N^{1/2} \hbar/tau_{so}$, where $N$ is the number of electrons in the ferromagnetic particle and $τ_{so}$ is the spin-orbit time.

description: Undernutrition of children 0-60 months old in Mozambique is much higher in rural than in urban areas. Food security is about the same, although substantial regional differences exist. Given these outcomes, we hypothesized that the determinants of food security and nutritional status in rural and urban areas of Mozambique would differ as well. Yet we find that the determinants of food insecurity and malnutrition, and the magnitudes of their effects, are very nearly the same. The difference in observed outcomes appears primarily due to differences in the levels of critical determinants rather than in the nature of the determinants themselves.

description: As computing resources are limited, choosing the parameters for a full Lattice QCD simulation always amounts to a compromise between the competing objectives of a lattice spacing as small, quarks as light, and a volume as large as possible. Aiming to push unquenched simulations with the Wilson action towards the computationally expensive regime of small quark masses we address the question whether one can possibly save computing time by extrapolating results from small lattices to the infinite volume, prior to the usual chiral and continuum extrapolations. In the present work the systematic volume dependence of simulated pion and nucleon masses is investigated and compared with a long-standing analytic formula by Luescher and with results from Chiral Perturbation Theory. We analyze data from Hybrid Monte Carlo simulations with the standard (unimproved) two-flavor Wilson action at two different lattice spacings of a=0.08fm and 0.13fm. The quark masses considered correspond to approximately 85 and 50% (at the smaller a) and 36% (at the larger a) of the strange quark mass. At each quark mass we study at least three different lattices with L/a=10 to 24 sites in the spatial directions (L=0.85-2.08fm).

description: We present a sample of 8321 candidate Field Horizontal-Branch (FHB) stars selected by automatic spectral classification in the digital data base of the Hamburg/ESO objective-prism survey. The stars are distributed over 8225 square degrees of the southern sky, at |b| > 30 deg. The average distance of the sample, assuming that they are all FHB stars, is 9.8 kpc, and distances of up to ~30 kpc are reached. Moderate-resolution spectroscopic follow-up observations and UBV photometry of 125 test sample stars demonstrate that the contamination of the full candidate sample with main-sequence A-type stars is < 16%, while it would be up to 50% in a flux-limited sample at high galactic latitudes. Hence more than ~6800 of our FHB candidates are expected to be genuine FHB stars. The candidates are being used as distance probes for high-velocity clouds and for studies of the structure and kinematics of the Galactic halo.

description: We present spectroscopic experiments and theory of a quantum dot driven bichromatically by two strong coherent lasers. In particular, we explore the regime where the drive strengths are substantial enough to merit a general non-perturbative analysis, resulting in a rich higher-order Floquet dressed-state energy structure. We show high resolution spectroscopy measurements with a variety of laser detunings performed on a single InGaAs quantum dot, with the resulting features well explained with a time-dependent quantum master equation and Floquet analysis. Notably, driving the quantum dot resonance and one of the subsequent Mollow triplet sidepeaks, we observe the disappearance and subsequent reappearance of the central transition and transition resonant with detuned-laser at high detuned-laser pump strengths and additional higher-order effects, e.g. emission triplets at higher harmonics and signatures of higher order Floquet states. For a similar excitation condition but with an off-resonant primary laser, we observe similar spectral features but with an enhanced inherent spectral asymmetry.

Cauchy Annealing Schedule: An Annealing Schedule for Boltzmann Selection Scheme in Evolutionary Algorithms

description: Boltzmann selection is an important selection mechanism in evolutionary algorithms as it has theoretical properties which help in theoretical analysis. However, Boltzmann selection is not used in practice because a good annealing schedule for the `inverse temperature' parameter is lacking. In this paper we propose a Cauchy annealing schedule for Boltzmann selection scheme based on a hypothesis that selection-strength should increase as evolutionary process goes on and distance between two selection strengths should decrease for the process to converge. To formalize these aspects, we develop formalism for selection mechanisms using fitness distributions and give an appropriate measure for selection-strength. In this paper, we prove an important result, by which we derive an annealing schedule called Cauchy annealing schedule. We demonstrate the novelty of proposed annealing schedule using simulations in the framework of genetic algorithms.

description: The understanding of heat transport in nonequilibrium thermodynamics is an important research frontier, which is crucial for implementing novel thermodynamic devices, such as heat engines and refrigerators. The convection, conduction, and radiation are the well-known basic ways to transfer thermal energy. Here we demonstrate a new mechanism of phonon heat transport between two spatially separated nanomechanical resonators coupled by the cavity-enhanced long-range interactions. The single trajectory for thermalization and non-equilibrium dynamics is monitored in real-time. We find that, in the strong coupling regime, instant heat flux counterintuitively oscillates back and forth in nonequilibrium steady states, which occurs spontaneously above the critical point during the thermal energy transfer process. The universal bound on the precision of nonequilibrium steady-state heat flux, i.e. the thermodynamic uncertainty relation, is verified in such a temperature gradient driven far-off equilibrium system. Our results reveal a previously unobserved phenomenon for heat transfer with mechanical oscillators, and provide a playground for testing fundamental theories in non-equilibrium thermodynamics.

description: Single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) have displayed a wealth of quantum transport phenomena thus far. Defect free, unperturbed SWNTs with wellbehaved or tunable metal contacts are important to probing the intrinsic electrical properties of nanotubes. Meeting these conditions experimentally is nontrivial due to numerous disorder and randomizing factors. Here we show that ~ 1 um long fully suspended SWNTs grown-in-place between metal contacts afford SWNT devices exhibiting well-defined characteristics over much wider energy ranges than nanotubes pinned on substrates. Various low temperature transport regimes in true-metallic, small and large bandgap semiconducting nanotubes are observed including quantum states shell-filling, -splitting and -crossing in magnetic fields for medium conductance devices. The clean transport data reveals a correlation between the contact junction resistance and the various transport regimes in SWNT devices. Further, we show that electrical transport data can be used to probe the band structures of nanotubes including nonlinear band dispersion.

description: We present a general formalism based on the framework of non-commutative geometry, suitable to the study the standard model of electroweak interactions, as well as that of more general gauge theories. Left- and right-handed chiral fields are assigned to two different sheets of space-time (a discretized version of Kaluza-Klein theory). Scalar Higgs fields find themselves treated on the same footing as the gauge fields, resulting in spontaneous symmetry breaking in a natural and predictable way. We first apply the formalism to the Standard Model, where one can predict the Higgs mass and the top Yukawa coupling. We then study the left-right symmetric model, where we show that this framework imposes constraints on the type and coefficients of terms appearing in the Higgs potential.
