A Natural Formalism for Microlensing
Creators: name: Gould, Andrew

Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: If the standard microlensing geometry is inverted so that the Einstein ring is projected onto the observer plane rather than the source plane, then the relations between the observables (θ_E,\tilde r_E) and the underlying physical quantities (M,π_rel) become immediately obvious. Here θ_E and \tilde r_E are the angular and projected Einstein radii, M is the mass of the lens, and π_rel is the lens-source relative parallax. I recast the basic formalism of microlensing in light of this more natural geometry and in terms of observables. I then find that the relations between observable and physical quantities assume an exceptionally simple form. In an appendix, I propose a set of notational conventions for microlensing.

description: We study the non-Breit-Wigner line-shape of the $ψ(3770)$ resonance, predominantly a $1\ ^{3}D_{1}$ $\bar{c}c$ state, using an unitarized effective Lagrangian approach, including the one-loop effects of the nearby thresholds $D^+D^-$ and $D^0\bar{D}^0$. A fit of the theoretical result to the total cross-section $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow D\bar{D}$ is performed, leading to a good description of data ($χ^{2}/d.o.f.\sim 1.03$). The partial cross sections $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow D^0\bar{D}^0$ and $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow D^+D^-$ turn out to be separately in good agreement with the experiment. We find a pole at $3777-i12$ MeV, that is within the Particle Data Group (PDG) mass and width estimation for this state. Quite remarkably, we find an additional, dynamically generated, companion pole at $3741-i19$ MeV, which is responsible for the deformation on the lower energy side of the line-shape. The width for the leptonic decay $ψ(3770)\rightarrow e^{+}e^{-}$ is 112 eV, hence smaller than the PDG fit of $262\pm 18$ eV, yet in agreement with a recent experimental study.

description: The spectral shape of IR emission from Herbig Ae/Be stars has been invoked as evidence for accretion disks around high-mass protostars. Instead, we present here models based on spherical envelopes with $r^{-1.5}$ dust density profile that successfully explain the observed spectral shapes. The spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of eight primary candidates for protostellar disks are fitted in detail for all wavelengths available, from visual to far IR. The only envelope property adjusted in individual sources is the overall visual optical depth, and it ranges from 0.3 to 3. In each case, our models properly reproduce the data for both IR excess, visual extinction and reddening. The success of our models shows that accretion disks cannot make a significant contribution to the radiation observed in these pre-main sequence stars.

description: This paper studies the use of volumetric features as an alternative to popular local descriptor approaches for event detection in video sequences. Motivated by the recent success of similar ideas in object detection on static images, we generalize the notion of 2D box features to 3D spatiotemporal volumetric features. This general framework enables us to do real-time video analysis. We construct a realtime event detector for each action of interest by learning a cascade of filters based on volumetric features that efficiently scans video sequences in space and time. This event detector recognizes actions that are traditionally problematic for interest point methods — such as smooth motions where insufficient space-time interest points are available. Our experiments demonstrate that the technique accurately detects actions on real-world sequences and is robust to changes in viewpoint, scale and action speed. We also adapt our technique to the related task of human action classification and confirm that it achieves performance comparable to a current interest point based human activity recognizer on a standard database of human activities.

description: The objective of this study was to quantitatively assess the concentration of human tear proteins in patients wearing contact lenses of various ionicities and determine whether differences were related to the incidence of corneal infiltrative events (CIE). 24 subjects (samples) were randomly selected for spectral count analysis to obtain protein concentrations using LCMS analysis. The subjects were neophyte and ametropic with ages between 18 and 40; 6 wore control lenses, 8 wore TestLens1, and 10 wore TestLens2. 16 subjects experienced CIEs during the study. A pairwise multiple hypothesis test identified 7 proteins that significantly differed in concentration between TestLens1 and control, and 11 proteins that differed between TestLens2 and control. Of the 12 unique proteins, 9 were at increased concentration and 3 were at lower concentration in the tears of test lens wearers compared to the control lens group. Bootstrap clustering confirmed these findings, showing 3 similar clusters to the original sample groups which separated people wearing control lenses from those wearing TestLens1 or TestLens2 with 83% accuracy and between TestLens1 and TestLens2 with 45% accuracy. Permutation testing identified 5 proteins that had significantly changed in concentration between people wearing TestLens2 and Control lenses. There was no difference in protein concentrations between those subjects who experienced a CIE and those who did not. Wearing contact lenses of different ionicities can affect the concentration of proteins in the tear film. The current study did not find any associations of the concentration of proteins with CIEs. Future tests with increased sample size are needed to establish any relations between these changes and clinical performance.

description: The Doppler-shift attenuation method was applied to measure the lifetime of the 4.03 MeV state in 19Ne. Utilizing a 3He-implanted Au foil as a target, the state was populated using the 20Ne(3He,alpha)19Ne reaction in inverse kinematics at a 20Ne beam energy of 34 MeV. De-excitation gamma rays were detected in coincidence with alpha particles. At the 1 sigma level, the lifetime was determined to be 11 +4, -3 fs and at the 95.45% confidence level the lifetime is 11 +8, -7 fs.

description: Die kontinuierliche Aufmerksamkeit für ethische Prozesse ist eine der Kernherausforderungen in Palliative Care. Angehörige und Professionelle, die schwerkranke und sterbenden Menschen betreuen, begleiten oder behandeln, sehen sich mit vielfältigen Belastungen konfrontiert. Vielen dieser belastenden Situationen liegen existentielle Widersprüche zugrunde, die für Konflikte sorgen. Diese Widersprüche lassen sich nicht auflösen, sie können und müssen jedoch bearbeitet werden. Das Wesen einer "Caring Institution" ist es, Räume zu schaffen, in denen die Reflexion der Konflikte stattfinden kann, somit gelingt es, "Ethik zu organisieren". Gleichzeitig ist eine weit über Institutionen hinausgehende Demokratisierung von Sorgeaufgaben gefragt. Den zukünftigen Herausforderungen werden wir nicht gerecht, in dem wir Sorgeaufgaben in "Experten- und Familiensysteme entsorgen" (K. Gröning). Wir plädieren dafür, in den Communities (Gemeinden) Räume zu eröffnen, in denen Compassion (Mitgefühl) und Solidarität Platz haben.

description: The aim of this work was to remove the hemicellulose and lignin fraction from corncob using chemical pretreatments, and to stablish the effect of that on the composition, microstructure, and thermal properties of corncob. The biomass was pretreated with H2SO4 and NaOH solution to dissolve hemicellulose and lignin portion. Likewise, the biomass pretreated was characterized by scanning electron microscope, IR spectroscopy and TGA methods. It was found that the acid pretreatment disrupt the hemicellulose structure by hydrolysis of glycoside bonds. Moreover, the corncob morphology becomes flaky after acid pretreatment due to dissolution of hemicellulose. The lignin is removed during alkaline pretreatment by solvation of aryl groups. In addition, the crystalline morphology of cellulose fibers was disrupted, increasing the surface area. The pretreatment of corncob with 1.0% H2SO4 and 0.1 M NaOH solubilized ∼42.6% and ∼20.9% of the biomass, respectively. The soluble products were analyzed by FTIR, Fehling test, and calorimetric analysis, to stablish their composition and heat content. The hydrolysis of hemicellulose leads to the release of the monomeric sugars and soluble oligomers. Moreover, the lignin of corncob releases more energy per unit of mass, making it an energy-denser component of corncob.

description: Background Alcohol consumption is an established risk factor for breast cancer and the association generally appears stronger among estrogen receptor (ER)-positive tumors. However, the biological mechanisms underlying this association are not completely understood. Methods We analyzed messenger RNA (mRNA) microarray data from both invasive breast tumors (N = 602) and tumor-adjacent normal tissues (N = 508) from participants diagnosed with breast cancer in the Nurses’ Health Study (NHS) and NHSII. Multivariable linear regression, controlling for other known breast cancer risk factors, was used to identify differentially expressed genes by pre-diagnostic alcohol intake. For pathway analysis, we performed gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA). Differentially expressed genes or enriched pathway-defined gene sets with false discovery rate (FDR) <0.1 identified in tumors were validated in RNA sequencing data of invasive breast tumors (N = 166) from The Cancer Genome Atlas. Results No individual genes were significantly differentially expressed by alcohol consumption in the NHS/NHSII. However, GSEA identified 33 and 68 pathway-defined gene sets at FDR <0.1 among 471 ER+ and 127 ER- tumors, respectively, all of which were validated. Among ER+ tumors, consuming 10+ grams of alcohol per day (vs. 0) was associated with upregulation in RNA metabolism and transport, cell cycle regulation, and DNA repair, and downregulation in lipid metabolism. Among ER- tumors, in addition to upregulation in RNA processing and cell cycle, alcohol intake was linked to overexpression of genes involved in cytokine signaling, including interferon and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β signaling pathways, and translation and post-translational modifications. Lower lipid metabolism was observed in both ER+ tumors and ER+ tumor-adjacent normal samples. Most of the significantly enriched gene sets identified in ER- tumors showed a similar enrichment pattern among ER- tumor-adjacent normal tissues. Conclusions Our data suggest that moderate alcohol consumption (i.e. 10+ grams/day, equivalent to one or more drinks/day) is associated with several specific and reproducible biological processes and pathways, which adds potential new insight into alcohol-related breast carcinogenesis.

description: Many robotic systems deal with uncertainty by performing a sequence of information gathering actions. In this work, we focus on the problem of efficiently constructing such a sequence by drawing an explicit connection to submodularity. Ideally, we would like a method that finds the optimal sequence of actions, taking the minimum amount of time while providing sufficient information. Finding this sequence, however, is generally intractable. As a result, many well-established methods select actions greedily. Surprisingly, this often performs well even with only one step lookahead. Our work first explains this high performance -- we note that a commonly used metric, reduction of Shannon entropy, is submodular under certain assumptions, rendering the greedy solution comparable to the optimal plan in the offline setting. Recently developed notions of adaptive submodularity enable guarantees for a greedy algorithm in the online setting. We develop new methods within this framework, enabling us to provide guarantees compared to the optimal online policy, as well as exploit additional computational speedups. We demonstrate the effectiveness of these methods in simulation and on a robot.

Spin excitation spectrum of high-temperature cuprate superconductors from finite cluster simulations

description: A cluster of spins $1/2$ of a finite size can be regarded as a basic building block of a spin texture in high-temperature cuprate superconductors. If this texture has the character of a network of weakly coupled spin clusters, then spin excitation spectra of finite clusters are expected to capture the principal features of the experimental spin response. We calculate spin excitation spectra of several clusters of spins $1/2$ coupled by Heisenberg interaction. We find that the calculated spectra exhibit a high degree of variability representative of the actual phenomenology of curates, while, at the same time, reproducing a number of important features of the experimentally measured spin response. Among such features are the spin gap, the broad peak around $\hbar ω\simeq (40 - 70)$ meV and the sharp peak at zero frequency. The latter feature emerges due to transitions inside the ground-state multiplet of the so-called "uncompensated" clusters with an odd number of spins.

description: Abstract: The design and manufacturing of objects in various industries have been fundamentally altered by the introduction of D-dimensional (3D) and four-dimensional (4D) printing technologies. Four-dimensional printing, a relatively new technique, has emerged as a result of the ongoing development and advancements in 3D printing. In this study, a stimulus-responsive material, N-Vinylcaprolactam-co-DEGDA (NVCL-co-DEGDA) resin, was synthesised by Stereolithography (SLA) 3D printing technique. The N-Vinylcaprolactam-co-DEGDA resins were initiated by the Diphenyl (2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl) phosphine oxide (TPO) photoinitiator. A range of Di(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (DEGDA) concentrations in the NVCL-co-DEGDA resin was explored, ranging from 5 wt% to 40 wt%. The structural properties of the 3D printed objects were investigated by conducting Attenuated Total Reflectance–Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR). Additionally, the 3D printed samples underwent further characterisation through differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and swelling analysis. The results revealed an inverse relationship between DEGDA concentration and Tg values, indicating that higher concentrations of DEGDA resulted in lower Tg values. Additionally, the pulsatile swelling studies demonstrated that increasing DEGDA concentration prolonged the time required to reach the maximum swelling ratio. These findings highlight the influence of DEGDA concentration on both the thermal properties and swelling behaviour of 3D printed samples.

description: Many clusters of galaxies contain an appreciable amount of hot gas, the intracluster medium. As a consequence, gas will be stripped from galaxies that move through the inter cluster medium, if the ram pressure exceeds the internal gravitational force. We study the interaction between the intracluster medium and an extended gas component of dwarf galaxies confined by a surrounding cold dark matter halo analytically and numerically, using axisymmetric two-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations at high resolution. The results show that the gas within the dark matter halo is totally stripped in a typical galactic cluster. The process of ram pressure stripping therefore must have played an important role during the chemo-dynamical evolution of dwarf galaxies in galactic clusters. Our results predict that most of the chemical evolution of dwarf galaxies must have occurred at high redshift, before the virialized cluster had formed.

description: We address the problem of image-based scene analysis from streaming video, as would be seen from a moving platform, in order to efficiently generate spatially and temporally consistent predictions of semantic categories over time. In contrast to previous techniques which typically address this problem in batch and/or through graphical models, we demonstrate that by learning visual similarities between pixels across frames, a simple filtering algorithm is able to achieve high performance predictions in an efficient and online/causal manner. Our technique is a meta-algorithm that can be efficiently wrapped around any scene analysis technique that produces a per-pixel semantic label distribution. We validate our approach over three different scene analysis techniques on three different datasets that contain different semantic object categories. Our experiments demonstrate our approach is very efficient in practice and substantially improves the quality of predictions over time.

description: Biodiesel is a popular alternative useful fuel due to its low environmental impact. Herein, we developed new heterogeneous catalysts from waste-materials, rice husk and eggshells, and utilized for the biodiesel-making process. Apricot seeds are widely accessible around the world and are used as an oil feedstock to produce biodiesel, an ecologically beneficial fuel. Modified silica dioxide (obtained from rice husk) and calcium oxide (obtained from calcining eggshells) are used to make synthetic catalysts, with both materials being impregnated to increase their activity. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy techniques utilized to evaluate the catalysts. Gas chromatography mass spectroscopy identified the components in biodiesel and raw apricot oil by retention duration and area peaks. The parametric research was performed to optimize the reaction conditions, the biodiesel synthesis is greatest at 55 to 65 °C, 90 min, 25 methanol to oil molar ratio, 3 wt.% catalyst loading, and 90% yield. The biodiesel’s fuel characteristics and industry standards (ASTM6751 & EN14214) proved that it might be a renewable fuel. Furthermore, it discovered that the catalyst could be reprocessed up to five times without losing substantial activity. This research suggests that waste-derived catalysts can be used to make commercial biodiesel.

description: mitation Learning, while applied successfully on many large real-world problems, is typically addressed as a standard supervised learning problem, where it is assumed the training and testing data are i.i.d.. This is not true in imitation learning as the learned policy influences the future test inputs (states) upon which it will be tested. We show that this leads to compounding errors and a regret bound that grows quadratically in the time horizon of the task. We propose two alternative algorithms for imitation learning where training occurs over several episodes of interaction. These two approaches share in common that the learner's policy is slowly modified from executing the expert's policy to the learned policy. We show that this leads to stronger performance guarantees and demonstrate the improved performance on two challenging problems: training a learner to play 1) a 3D racing game (Super Tux Kart) and 2) Mario Bros.; given input images from the games and corresponding actions taken by a human expert and near-optimal planner respectively.

description: Red-fluorescing dentine indicates bacterial contamination [Lennon et al.: Caries Res 2002;36:315-319]. We investigated effect of removal of red-fluorescent dentine-caries on shear-bond-strength and fracture-mode of 4 adhesive approaches. Sixty-five carious teeth and 50 non-carious controls were distributed into 4 groups: ClearfilTM self-etch (CSE), OptibondTM FL total-etch (OTE), ScotchbondTM Universal total-etch (STE) and self-etch (SSE). Samples were excited at 405nm and viewed through 530nm filter. Carious samples were ground flat exposing strongly red-fluorescing-dentine (StrongRF), on which a composite-cylinder was placed, using one of 4 adhesives. After 22 hours in water shear-bond-strength and fracture-mode were analysed. StrongRF was removed composite-cylinders were placed on weakly-red-fluorescing dentine (WeakRF) and tested as described above. Finally, red-fluorescing dentine was removed, composite-cylinders were placed on non-fluorescing dentine (NonRF) and tested. Composites were placed at 3 corresponding heights in controls. After 22 hours in water, shear-bond-strength testing and fracture-mode analysis were performed. Differences were tested using Mann–Whitney or Wilcoxon tests (p≤0.05). Median(Q1,Q3) shear-bond-strength on StrongRF was: SSE 14.4(9.2, 18.2)MPa >CSE 10.2(6.4, 17.3)MPa >STE 9.1(6.9, 11.2)MPa >OTE 6.8(4.0, 10.8)MPa. Shear-bond-strength increased statistically significantly for all adhesives on WeakRF (p<0.001-p=0.013): SSE 19.8(13.6, 24.3)Mpa >STE 19.5(12.7, 23.1)MPa >CSE 17.5(12.0, 22.5)MPa >OTE 15.8(11.9,20.9)MPa. Only STE 25.6(22.4,29.1)MPa and CSE 22.1(17.6,24.6)MPa were significantly different on NonRF compared to WeakRF. For controls tested at corresponding depths, superficial shear-bond-strength was: OTE 18.7(16.0,22.1)MPa >STE 18.4(12.0,25.9)MPa >CSE 18.1(12.7,20.7)MPa >SSE 13.0(9.6,17.8)MPa. This was significantly higher compared to StrongRF except for SSE. Central shear-bond-strength was not significantly different to WeakRF, deep shear-bond-strength was significantly lower for SSE and CSE but higher for OTE compared to carious. Conclusion: strongly red-fluorescing dentine should be removed for higher shear bond strength, but weakly red-fluorescing dentine can be preserved without compromising adhesive bond strength.

description: The presence of a horizon is the principal marker for black holes as they appear in the classical theory of gravity. In General Relativity (GR), horizons have several defining properties. First, there exists a static spherically symmetric solution to vacuum Einstein equations which possesses a horizon defined as a null-surface on which the time-like Killing vector becomes null. Second, in GR, a co-dimension two sphere of minimal area is necessarily a horizon. On a quantum level, the classical gravitational action is supplemented by the quantum effective action obtained by integrating out the quantum fields propagating on a classical background. In this note we consider the case when the quantum fields are conformal and perform a certain non-perturbative analysis of the semiclassical equations obtained by varying the complete gravitational action. We show that, for these equations, both of the above aspects do not hold. More precisely, we prove that i) a static spherically symmetric metric that would describe a horizon with a finite Hawking temperature is, generically, {\it not} a solution; ii) a minimal $2$-sphere is {\it not} a horizon but a tiny throat of a wormhole. We find certain bounds on the norm of the Killing vector at the throat and show that it is, while non-zero, an exponentially small function of the Bekenstein-Hawking (BH) entropy of the classical black hole. We also find that the possible temperature of the semiclassical geometry is exponentially small for large black holes. These findings suggest that a black hole in the classical theory can be viewed as a certain (singular) limit of the semiclassical wormhole geometry. We discuss the possible implications of our results.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: Many modeling tasks in computer vision, e.g. structure from motion, shape/reflectance from shading, filter synthesis have a low-dimensional intrinsic structure even though the dimension of the input data can be relatively large. We propose a simple but surprisingly effective iterative randomized algorithm that drastically cuts down the time required for recovering the intrinsic structure. The computational cost depends only on the intrinsic dimension of the structure of the task. It is based on the recently proposed Cascade Basis Reduction (CBR) algorithm that was developed in the context of steerable filters. A key feature of our algorithm compared with CBR is that an arbitrary a priori basis for the task is not required. This allows us to extend the applicability of the algorithm to tasks beyond steerable filters such as structure from motion. We prove the convergence for the new algorithm. In practice the new algorithm is much faster than CBR for the same modeling error. We demonstrate this speed-up for the construction of a steerable basis for Gabor filters. We also demonstrate the generality of the new algorithm by applying it to to an example from structure from motion without missing data

description: With the increasing concerns of low carbon development of building industry, the feasibility of using straw bale buildings has been widely discussed for the last decade in China. However, there are few studies focus on assessment of durability of this building type regarding the climatic features in China. This paper analyzes the features of straw degradation inside straw bale walls in the severe cold region in China. The analysis involves two parts of researches: The first part analyzes the degradation potential of straw inside straw bale walls in high humidity and high temperature conditions which was recorded in the summers in the climatic region; The following research examine straw conditions inside an experimental straw bale building in the region after one-year competition of the building. The results show that the straw inside straw bale walls have no concerns of degradation in the high hygrothermal environment in the severe cold region in China. The following inspections of straw conditions inside experimental building indicate that straw have moderate concerns of degradation in the area 2-3cm deep behind the lime render. The work of this research will help to build up models for predicting straw degradation levels inside straw bale building in severe cold region in China. This impact of this research will be the growth in low carbon energy efficient straw bale construction with confidence over its long-term durability characteristics in severe cold region in China.
