description: This article discusses the relationship between monetary policy and oil prices and, in a broader sense, commodity prices. Firstly, it focuses on describing the relationship between key macroeconomic variables, gas prices and other commodity prices relative to oil prices. Subsequently, it discusses the existence of “transmission channels” through which monetary policy can be propagated to oil prices (or prices of commodities). It then provides an insight into the CNB’s forecasting process, both by looking retrospectively at the oil price outlook in the past and by analysing a transitory and a permanent shock (a rise in the oil price of USD 30/b). The simulated oil price shock is calculated from the average level of Brent oil prices in the first quarter of 2010, i.e. USD 77.50/b.

description: Motivated by the recent synthesis of two-dimensional $α$-Fe$_2$O$_3$ [Balan $et$ $al.$ Nat. Nanotech. 13, 602 (2018)], we analyze the structural, vibrational, electronic and magnetic properties of single- and few-layer $α$-Fe$_2$O$_3$ compared to bulk, by $ab-initio$ and Monte-Carlo simulations. We reveal how monolayer $α$-Fe$_2$O$_3$ (hematene) can be distinguished from the few-layer structures, and how they all differ from bulk through observable Raman spectra. The optical spectra exhibit gradual shift of the prominent peak to higher energy, as well as additional features at lower energy when $α$-Fe$_2$O$_3$ is thinned down to a monolayer. Both optical and electronic properties have strong spin asymmetry, meaning that lower-energy optical and electronic activities are allowed for the single-spin state. Finally, our considerations of magnetic properties reveal that 2D hematite has anti-ferromagnetic ground state for all thicknesses, but the critical temperature for Morin transition increases with decreasing sample thickness. On all accounts, the link to available experimental data is made, and further measurements are prompted.

description: Positive vacuum energy together with extra dimensions of space imply that our four-dimensional Universe is unstable, generically to decompactification of the extra dimensions. Either quantum tunneling or thermal fluctuations carry one past a barrier into the decompactifying regime. We give an overview of this process, and examine the subsequent expansion into the higher- dimensional geometry. This is governed by certain fixed-point solutions of the evolution equations, which are studied for both positive and negative spatial curvature. In the case where there is a higher-dimensional cosmological constant, we also outline a possible mechanism for compactification to a four-dimensional de Sitter cosmology.

description: We test whether outside experts have information not available to insiders by using the voting record of the Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee. Members with more private information should vote more often against conventional wisdom, which we measure as the average belief of market economists about future interest rates. We find evidence that external members indeed have information not available to internals, but also use a quasi-natural experiment to show they may exaggerate their expertise to obtain reappointment. This implies that an optimal committee, even outside monetary policy, should potentially include outsiders, but needs to manage career concerns.

description: We investigate the helicity properties of the ejectile in quasi-elastic neutrino-induced nucleon-knockout reactions and consider the 12C target as a test case. A formalism based on a relativistic mean-field model is adopted. The influence of final-state interactions is evaluated within a relativistic multiple-scattering Glauber approximation (RMSGA) model. Our calculations reveal that the helicity asymmetries A_l in A(\overlineν,\overlineν'N) processes are extremely sensitive to strange-quark contributions to the weak vector form-factors. Thereby, nuclear corrections, such as final-state interactions and off-shell ambiguities in the electroweak current operators, are observed to be of marginal importance. This facilitates extracting strange-quark information from the helicity asymmetry A_l.

The effect of photoionising feedback on the shaping of hierarchically-forming stellar clusters

description: We use two hydrodynamical simulations (with and without photoionising feedback) of the self-consistent evolution of molecular clouds (MCs) undergoing global hierarchical collapse (GHC), to study the effect of the feedback on the structural and kinematic properties of the gas and the stellar clusters formed in the clouds. During this early stage, the evolution of the two simulations is very similar (implying that the feedback from low mass stars does not affect the cloud-scale evolution significantly) and the star-forming region accretes faster than it can convert gas to stars, causing the instantaneous measured star formation efficiency (SFE) to remain low even in the absence of significant feedback. Afterwards, the ionising feedback first destroys the filamentary supply to star-forming hubs and ultimately removes the gas from it, thus first reducing the star formation (SF) and finally halting it. The ionising feedback also affects the initial kinematics and spatial distribution of the forming stars, because the gas being dispersed continues to form stars, which inherit its motion. In the non-feedback simulation, the groups remain highly compact and do not mix, while in the run with feedback, the gas dispersal causes each group to expand, and the cluster expansion thus consists of the combined expansion of the groups. Most secondary star-forming sites around the main hub are also present in the non-feedback run, implying a primordial rather than triggered nature. We do find one example of a peripheral star-forming site that appears only in the feedback run, thus having a triggered origin. However, this appears to be the exception rather than the rule, although this may be an artifact of our simplified radiative transfer scheme.

description: The increase in unemployment in the United Kingdom that accompanied the Great Recession has been conspicuous by its moderation. The rise in joblessness is dwarfed by the recent experience of the United States, by past recessionary episodes in the U.K. and by the contraction in GDP in the U.K. Increased rates of job loss have played a dominant role in shaping the rise in British unemployment. Unemployment duration has not increased to the levels seen in previous recessions, in contrast to the U.S. where duration substantially exceeds previous peaks. Looking forward, the U.K. labour market appears to have adjusted fully to the shocks that prompted the recession. Signs of reductions in match efficiency witnessed recently in the U.S. are not mirrored in the U.K. In contrast, while long-term unemployment currently remains well below historical levels, recent estimates of job finding rates suggest that it has the potential to rise much further. Thus, a timely recovery in aggregate demand will play an important role in averting persistently high unemployment in the future.

description: We analyze the XMM dataset of the interacting cluster of galaxies Abell 3528 located westward in the core of the Shapley Supercluster, the largest concentration of mass in the nearby Universe. A3528 is formed by two interacting clumps (A3528-N at North and A3528-S at South) separated by 0.9 $h_{70}^{-1}$ Mpc at redshift 0.053. XMM data describe these clumps as relaxed structure with an overall temperature of $4.14 \pm 0.09$ and $4.29 \pm 0.07$ keV in A3528-N and A3528-S, respectively, and a core cooler by a factor 1.4--1.5 and super-solar metal abundance in the inner 30 arcsec. These clumps are connected by a X-ray soft, bridge-like emission and present asymmetric surface brightness with significant excess in the North--West region of A3528-N and in the North--East area of A3528-S. However, we do not observe any evidence of shock heated gas, both in the surface brightness and in the temperature map. Considering also that the optical light distribution is more concentrated around A3528-N and makes A3528-S barely detectable, we do not find support to the originally suggested head-on pre-merging scenario and conclude that A3528 is in a off-axis post-merging phase, where the closest cores encounter happened about 1--2 Gyrs ago.

description: Declining attendance revenues and general funding at the University of British Columbia Botanical Garden have severely limited the capabilities of the institution to undertake meaningful research in recent years. The collection’s lack of renown and isolated position on campus have further contributed to the garden fading into near obscurity. Despite dwindling financial resources, UBC Botanical Garden officials have explored investment in new facilities on its grounds in order to increase the venue’s visibility and attract more visitors—one such possible project is a multipurpose building providing both improved research functionality and an additional revenue stream from offering food and lounge services to patrons and UBC students. CIVL 446 Group 15 has been retained by the University of British Columbia Botanical Garden to provide a detailed design of an earth-retaining wall for a proposed multi-purpose building design concept, also provided by the same team. This report describes technical details of a recommended structural design along with relevant geotechnical analysis and construction management deliberations required to construct the wall. A brief summary of the overall conceptual building design is provided prior to the technical description and analyses, and concluding remarks and considerations are offered after the technical body. The final design consists of a 184m long cantilever wall with Z-shaped sheet piles supported by anchors spaced at equal distances as required to balance all passive and active soil forces. Geotechnical limit states analyses establish factors of safety for a variety of most-probable failure modes including rotational, translational and global instability failure. Construction of the project is estimated to cost approximately $500 000, with the whole process lasting 73 days.

description: Understanding the non-linear dynamics of satellite halos (a.k.a. "sub-halos") is important for predicting the abundance and distribution of dark matter substructures and satellite galaxies, and for distinguishing among microphysical dark matter models using observations. Typically, modeling these dynamics requires large N-body simulations with high resolution. Semi-analytic models can provide a more efficient way to describe the key physical processes such as dynamical friction, tidal mass loss, and tidal heating, with only a few free parameters. In this work, we present a fast Monte Carlo Markov Chain fitting approach to explore the parameter space of such a sub-halo non-linear evolution model. We use the dynamical models described in an earlier work and calibrate the models to two sets of high-resolution cold dark matter N-body simulations, ELVIS and Caterpillar. Compared to previous calibrations that used manual parameter tuning, our approach provides a more robust way to determine the best-fit parameters and their posterior probabilities. We find that jointly fitting for the sub-halo mass and maximum velocity functions can break the degeneracy between tidal stripping and tidal heating parameters, as well as providing better constraints on the strength of dynamical friction. We show that our semi-analytic simulation can accurately reproduce N-body simulations statistics, and that the calibration results for the two sets of N-body simulations agree at 95% confidence level. Dynamical models calibrated in this work will be important for future dark matter substructure studies.

description: We study the Hall effect in a system of weakly coupled Luttinger Liquid chains, using a Memory function approach to compute the Hall constant in the presence of umklapp scattering along the chains. In this approximation, the Hall constant decomposes into two terms: a high-frequency term and a Memory function term. For the case of zero umklapp scattering, where the Memory function vanishes, the Hall constant is simply the band value, in agreement with former results in a similar model with no dissipation along the chains. With umklapp scattering along the chains, we find a power-law temperature dependance of the Hall constant. We discuss the applications to quasi 1D organic conductors at high temperatures.

description: Accretion disks around stellar-mass black holes (BHs) emit radiation peaking in the soft X-rays when the source is in the thermal state. The emerging photons are polarized and, for symmetry reasons, the polarization integrated over the source is expected to be either parallel or perpendicular to the (projected) disk symmetry axis, because of electron scattering in the disk. However, due to General Relativity effects photon polarization vectors will rotate with respect to their original orientation, by an amount depending on both the BH spin and the observer's inclination. Hence, X-ray polarization measurements may provide important information about strong gravity effects around these sources. Along with the spectral and polarization properties of radiation which reaches directly the observer once emitted from the disk, in this paper we also include the contribution of returning radiation, i.e. photons that are bent by the strong BH gravity to return again on the disk, where they scatter until eventually escaping to infinity. A comparison between our results and those obtained in previous works by different authors show an overall good agreement, despite the use of different code architectures. We finally consider the effects of absorption in the disk material by including more realistic albedo profiles for the disk surface. Our findings in this respect show that considering also the ionization state of the disk may deeply modify the behavior of polarization observables.

The Pauli Exclusion Principle and SU(2) Versus SO(3) in Loop Quantum Gravity
Creators: name: Swain, John
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Recent attempts to resolve the ambiguity in the loop quantum gravity description of the quantization of area has led to the idea that $j=1$ edges of spin-networks dominate in their contribution to black hole areas as opposed to $j=1/2$ which would naively be expected. This suggests that the true gauge group involved might be SO(3) rather than SU(2) with attendant difficulties. We argue that the assumption that a version of the Pauli principle is present in loop quantum gravity allows one to maintain SU(2) as the gauge group while still naturally achieving the desired suppression of spin-1/2 punctures. Areas come from $j=1$ punctures rather than $j=1/2$ punctures for much the same reason that photons lead to macroscopic classically observable fields while electrons do not.
description: An earlier paper (gr-qc/0305073) with a slightly different title received an "honorable mention" in the 2003 Essay Competition of the Gravity Research Foundation. This paper argues from geometric quantization for a spin-statistics connection even when the SU(2) under consideration to define ``spin'' is not that of rotations in 3 space dimensions

A detailed study of the predictions of the model is made in comparison with the available data and the level of agreement is generally very good. Comparison with an earlier treatment shows relatively minor differences at or below normal nuclear matter density, while at high density the improved calculation is quite different. In particular, we find no phase transition corresponding to chiral symmetry restoration in high density nuclear matter.

description: Facial action unit (AU) detection and face alignment are two highly correlated tasks, since facial landmarks can provide precise AU locations to facilitate the extraction of meaningful local features for AU detection. However, most existing AU detection works handle the two tasks independently by treating face alignment as a preprocessing, and often use landmarks to predefine a fixed region or attention for each AU. In this paper, we propose a novel end-to-end deep learning framework for joint AU detection and face alignment, which has not been explored before. In particular, multi-scale shared feature is learned firstly, and high-level feature of face alignment is fed into AU detection. Moreover, to extract precise local features, we propose an adaptive attention learning module to refine the attention map of each AU adaptively. Finally, the assembled local features are integrated with face alignment feature and global feature for AU detection. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our framework (i) significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art AU detection methods on the challenging BP4D, DISFA, GFT and BP4D+ benchmarks, (ii) can adaptively capture the irregular region of each AU, (iii) achieves competitive performance for face alignment, and (iv) also works well under partial occlusions and non-frontal poses. The code for our method is available at https://github.com/ZhiwenShao/PyTorch-JAANet.

description: The ubiquitous use of machine learning algorithms brings new challenges to traditional database problems such as incremental view update. Much effort is being put in better understanding and debugging machine learning models, as well as in identifying and repairing errors in training datasets. Our focus is on how to assist these activities when they have to retrain the machine learning model after removing problematic training samples in cleaning or selecting different subsets of training data for interpretability. This paper presents an efficient provenance-based approach, PrIU, and its optimized version, PrIU-opt, for incrementally updating model parameters without sacrificing prediction accuracy. We prove the correctness and convergence of the incrementally updated model parameters, and validate it experimentally. Experimental results show that up to two orders of magnitude speed-ups can be achieved by PrIU-opt compared to simply retraining the model from scratch, yet obtaining highly similar models.

description: The 6d $\mathcal{N}=(2,0)$ theory has natural surface operator observables, which are akin in many ways to Wilson loops in gauge theories. We propose a definition of a "locally BPS" surface operator and study its conformal anomalies, the analog of the conformal dimension of local operators. We study the abelian theory and the holographic dual of the large $N$ theory refining previously used techniques. Introducing non-constant couplings to the scalar fields allows for an extra anomaly coefficient, which we find in both cases to be related to one of the geometrical anomaly coefficients, suggesting a general relation due to supersymmetry. We also comment on surfaces with conical singularities.

Induced radio and X-ray emission from an accretion disk

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: Radio and X-ray emission from compact sources with accretion disks (active galactic nuclei, pulsars and X-ray binaries) is considered. It is shown that both radio and X-ray emission from these sources can be interpreted as emission of a hot ($T \geqslant 3 \times 10^{7}K$) plasma in the inner part of an accretion disk or in the disk corona. Radio emission is produced by the maser amplification of thermal radio emission in a hot plasma and corresponds to the transitions between highly located energy levels (somewhat similarly to the recombination lines). The X-ray emission is either thermal radiation from dense filaments or is produced by the coherent inverse Compton scattering of radio photons in the same dense filaments. The same mechanism, which gives rise to the maser amplification at radio wavelengths, produces also laser amplification in optical in X-ray binaries.

A systematic study of radiative torque grain alignment in the diffuse interstellar medium

description: Context. Planck observations demonstrated that the grain alignment efficiency is almost constant in the diffuse ISM. Aims. We test if the Radiative Torque (RAT) theory is compatible with observational constraints on grain alignment. Methods. We combine a numerical simulation with the radiative transfer code POLARIS that incorporates a physical dust model and the detailed grain alignment physics of RATs. A dust model is designed to reproduce the spectral dependence of extinction of the ISM. From a RAMSES simulation of interstellar turbulence, we extract a cube representative of the diffuse ISM. We post-process the cube with POLARIS to get the grain temperature and RATs to simulate synthetic dust polarization maps. Results. In our simulation the grain alignment efficiency is correlated with gas pressure, but not with the RAT intensity. Because of the low dust extinction, the magnitude of RATs varies little, decreasing only for high column densities $N_H$. Comparing our maps with a uniform alignment efficiency, we find no systematic difference. The dependence of polarization fraction $p$ with $N_H$ or polarization dispersion $S$ is similar. The drop of RATs in dense regions barely affects the polarization pattern, the signal being dominated by the LOS and magnetic field geometry. If a star is inserted, the polarization increases, with no specific pattern around the star. The angle-dependence of RATs is not observed in the maps, and is weak using a uniform magnetic field. Conclusions. RATs are compatible with Planck data for the diffuse ISM such that both uniform alignment and RAT alignment lead to similar observations. To further test the predictions of RATs where an important drop of grain alignment is expected, polarization observations of dense regions must be confronted to numerical simulations sampling high column densities through dense clouds, with enough statistics.

description: We report the discovery of the afterglow of the X-ray rich, long-duration gamma-ray burst GRB 011211 and present evidence for oscillatory behaviour in its early optical light curve. The time-scale of the fluctuations, ~1 hour, is much smaller than the time of the observations, ~12 hours from the onset of the gamma-ray burst. The character and strength of the fluctuations are unprecedented and are inconsistent with causally connected variations in the emission of a symmetric, relativistic blast wave, i.e. flux variations which are produced uniformly throughout the shell surface are ruled out. Therefore, the wiggles are the result of spherically asymmetric density or energy variations. Additionally, there is evidence for fluctuations in the X-ray afterglow light curve. If real, the resulting difference in the observed time of the peaks of the short-term variations at X-ray and optical frequencies, would demonstrate that the energy content across the jet-emitting surface is not uniform.

QCD explanation of oscillating hadron and jet multiplicity moments

description: Ratios of multiplicity moments, H_q (cumulant over factorial moments K_q/F_q), have been observed to show an oscillatory behaviour with respect to order, q. Recent studies of e^+e^- annihilations at LEP have shown, moreover, that the amplitude and oscillation length vary strongly with the jet resolution parameter y_{cut}. We study the predictions of the perturbative QCD parton cascade assuming low non-perturbative cut-off (Q_0\sim Λ_{QCD}\sim few 100 MeV) and derive the expectations as a function of the cms energy and jet resolution from threshold to very high energies. We consider numerical solutions of the evolution equations of gluodynamics in Double Logarithmic and Modified Leading Logarithmic Approximations (DLA,MLLA), as well as results from a parton MC with readjusted parameters. The main characteristics are obtained in MLLA, while a more numerically accurate description is obtained by the MC model. A unified description of correlations between hadrons and correlations between jets emerges, in particular for the transition region of small y_{cut}.

description: We apply a recent proposal for defining conserved mass in asymptotically de Sitter spacetimes to the class of Taub-Bolt-dS spacetimes. We compute the action, entropy and conserved mass of these spacetimes, and find that in certain instances the mass and entropy can exceed that of pure de Sitter spacetime, in violation of recent suggestive conjectures to the contrary.

description: Bos gaurus gaurus commonly called as gaur is a wild bovid species inhabiting South and Southeast Asia and attained vulnerable status in India. In this study, we typed 62 extant free-ranging wild gaur individuals for mitochondrial partial displacement loop (D-loop) and cytochrome b gene (Cyt b) from the Melghat Tiger Reserve (MTR). Two historical DNA samples originating from museums and two Tectona grandis bark fibers samples browsed by wild gaur were also used as a source of environmental DNA. Both D-loop and Cyt b loci show the occurrence of a single haplotype in the contemporary wild gaur population. While D-loop fragment sequencing of two historical museum samples reveals two unique haplotypes, virtually absent in the present wild gaur population of MTR. Amplifications of the similar haplotypes in gaur DNA samples obtained through chewed T. grandis bark fibers have proved the efficacy of eDNA. Bayesian Skyline Plot (BSP) analysis using extant and historical D-loop sequences illustrate population decline starting from upper Mesolithic. Also, the BSP graph indicates accelerated effective population size decline (Ne), a time period coinciding with the different phases of the ∼5000 years old Indus civilization. The plot shows an overall declining trend in the wild gaur population, a probable outcome of ever-shrinking habitat in the central Indian landscape caused by prehistoric, medieval and colonial hunting practices.
