description: Global climate change poses significant risks to the California economy. Recognizing and responding to these threats, Governor Schwarzenegger signed Executive Order #S-3-05 (Schwarzenegger 2005) which called for a 30 percent reduction below business-as-usual of greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 and 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050. In September 2006, the California legislature passed and Governor Schwarzenegger signed into law the historic Global Warming Solutions Act (AB 32), which mandates a first-in-the-nation limit on emissions that cause global warming. In June 2006, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) released a “Draft Scoping Plan” – the policy roadmap to meet the emissions reduction target of 169 Million Metric Tons of Carbon (MMTCO2) equivalent by 2020 to stabilize at 427 MMTCO2 overall. The CARB board will take up final adoption of this plan in December 2008. During the months leading up to this decision, a financial crisis of global proportions is unfolding. The state, nation and world are caught in serial market failures sparked by the collapse of the housing credit market, and there is much speculation about the impact of declining capital gains revenue on the state budget. Against this backdrop, Energy Efficiency, Innovation, and Job Creation in California analyses the economic impact of CARB’s past and future policies to reduce fossil fuel generated energy demand. California’s achievements in energy efficiency over the last generation are well known, but evidence about their deeper economic implications remains weak. This study examines the economy-wide employment effects of the state’s landmark efficiency policies over the last thirty-five years, and forecasts the economic effects of significantly more aggressive policies proposed to reduce emissions to 1990 levels by 2020.

description: Bringing a high-dimensional dataset into science-ready shape is a formidable challenge that often necessitates data compression. Compression has accordingly become a key consideration for contemporary cosmology, affecting public data releases, and reanalyses searching for new physics. However, data compression optimized for a particular model can suppress signs of new physics, or even remove them altogether. We therefore provide a solution for exploring new physics \emph{during} data compression. In particular, we store additional agnostic compressed data points, selected to enable precise constraints of non-standard physics at a later date. Our procedure is based on the maximal compression of the MOPED algorithm, which optimally filters the data with respect to a baseline model. We select additional filters, based on a generalised principal component analysis, which are carefully constructed to scout for new physics at high precision and speed. We refer to the augmented set of filters as MOPED-PC. They enable an analytic computation of Bayesian evidences that may indicate the presence of new physics, and fast analytic estimates of best-fitting parameters when adopting a specific non-standard theory, without further expensive MCMC analysis. As there may be large numbers of non-standard theories, the speed of the method becomes essential. Should no new physics be found, then our approach preserves the precision of the standard parameters. As a result, we achieve very rapid and maximally precise constraints of standard and non-standard physics, with a technique that scales well to large dimensional datasets.

description: The coma of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko has been probed by the Rosetta spacecraft and shows a variety of different molecules. The ROSINA COmet Pressure Sensor and the Double Focusing Mass Spectrometer provide in-situ densities for many volatile compounds including the 14 gas species H2O, CO2, CO, H2S, O2, C2H6, CH3OH, H2CO, CH4, NH3, HCN, C2H5OH, OCS, and CS2. We fit the observed densities during the entire comet mission between August 2014 and September 2016 to an inverse coma model. We retrieve surface emissions on a cometary shape with 3996 triangular elements for 50 separated time intervals. For each gas we derive systematic error bounds and report the temporal evolution of the production, peak production, and the time-integrated total production. We discuss the production for the two lobes of the nucleus and for the northern and southern hemispheres. Moreover we provide a comparison of the gas production with the seasonal illumination.

Late-Time Radio Re-Brightening of Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglows: Evidence for Double-Sided Jets
Creators: name: Li, Zhuo

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The central engine of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is believed to eject double-sided ultra-relativistic jets. For an observed GRB, one of the twin jets should point toward us, and is responsible for the prompt gamma-ray and subsequent afterglow emission. We consider in this Letter the other receding jet, which will give rise to late-time radio re-brightening (RRB) when it becomes non-relativistic (NR) and radiative isotropic. The RRB peaks at a time $5t_{NR}=2(E_{j,51}/n)^{1/3}$ yr after the GRB, where $t_{NR}$ is the observed NR timescale for the preceding jet, $E_j$ is the jet energy and $n$ is the ambient medium density. The peak flux is comparable to the preceding-jet emission at $t_{NR}$. We expect the RRB of GRB 030329 1.7 yr after the burst with a flux $\sim0.6$ mJy at 15 GHz. The cases of GRBs 970508 and 980703 have also been discussed. The detection of RRB, which needs dense monitoring campaign even a few years after a GRB, will be the direct evidence for the existence of double-sided jets in GRBs, and prove the black hole-disk system formation in the cores of progenitors.

The characterizations of regional strategic sensors have been given and tackled for different cases of regional observability. Furthermore, the results so obtained are applied to two-dimensional systems. Various cases of sensors are considered and analyzed. Also, the authors show that, the existent of a sensor for the diffusion system is not strategic in the usual sense, but it may be regionally strategic of this system.

description: Computing the gluon component of momentum in the nucleon is a difficult and computationally expensive problem, as the matrix element involves a quark-line-disconnected gluon operator which suffers from ultra-violet fluctuations. But also necessary for a successful determination is the non-perturbative renormalisation of this operator. As a first step we investigate here this renormalisation in the RI-MOM scheme. Using quenched QCD as an example, a statistical signal is obtained in a direct calculation using an adaption of the Feynman-Hellmann technique.

description: We consider the recently developed weighted ensemble milestoning (WEM) scheme [J. Chem. Phys. 152, 234114 (2020)], and test its capability of simulating ligand-receptor dissociation dynamics. We performed WEM simulations on the following host-guest systems: Na$^+$/Cl$^-$ ion pair and 4-hydroxy-2-butanone (BUT) ligand with FK506 binding protein (FKBP). As proof or principle, we show that the WEM formalism reproduces the Na$^+$/Cl$^-$ ion pair dissociation timescale and the free energy profile obtained from long conventional MD simulation. To increase accuracy of WEM calculations applied to kinetics and thermodynamics in protein-ligand binding, we introduced a modified WEM scheme called weighted ensemble milestoning with restraint release (WEM-RR), which can increase the number of starting points per milestone without adding additional computational cost. WEM-RR calculations obtained a ligand residence time and binding free energy in agreement with experimental and previous computational results. Moreover, using the milestoning framework, the binding time and rate constants, dissociation constant and the committor probabilities could also be calculated at a low computational cost. We also present an analytical approach for estimating the association rate constant ($k_{\text{on}}$) when binding is primarily diffusion driven. We show that the WEM method can efficiently calculate multiple experimental observables describing ligand-receptor binding/unbinding and is a promising candidate for computer-aided inhibitor design.

description: Research in the mid 1900s suggested that salary gaps existed between men and women in academia. Though the research helped bring attention to salary gaps, less focus was on causes of salary differences. More recent research suggested differences in salaries were based on performance. A survey was sent to agricultural economics professionals at land grant intuitions to identify the factors that influence their salaries. Results of the ordered probit model suggest that seven variables can be used to explain salaries: having attained tenure, working at an 1862 institution, the amount of grant dollars, the number of journal articles, highest academic rank and the percentage of appointment that is in administration (positive influences) and importance of family time (negative influence). Other variables tested – gender, ethnicity and other preferences – were not found to influence salary levels.
Constructing a multivariate distribution function with a vine copula: toward multivariate luminosity and mass functions

description: The need for a method to construct multidimensional distribution function is increasing recently, in the era of huge multiwavelength surveys. We have proposed a systematic method to build a bivariate luminosity or mass function of galaxies by using a copula. It allows us to construct a distribution function when only its marginal distributions are known, and we have to estimate the dependence structure from data. A typical example is the situation that we have univariate luminosity functions at some wavelengths for a survey, but the joint distribution is unknown. Main limitation of the copula method is that it is not easy to extend a joint function to higher dimensions ($d > 2$), except some special cases like multidimensional Gaussian. Even if we find such a multivariate analytic function in some fortunate case, it would often be inflexible and impractical. In this work, we show a systematic method to extend the copula method to unlimitedly higher dimensions by a vine copula. This is based on the pair-copula decomposition of a general multivariate distribution. We show how the vine copula construction is flexible and extendable. We also present an example of the construction of an stellar mass--atomic gas--molecular gas 3-dimensional mass function. We demonstrate the maximum likelihood estimation of the best functional form for this function, as well as a proper model selection via vine copula.

description: We investigate finite-$N$ corrections to the superconformal indices of the theories realized on M2- and M5-branes. For three-dimensional theories realized on a stack of $N$ M2-branes we calculate the finite-$N$ corrections as the contribution of extended M5-branes in the dual geometry $AdS_4\times \boldsymbol{S}^7$. We take only M5-brane configurations with a single wrapping into account, and neglect multiple-wrapping configurations. We compare the results with the indices calculated from the ABJM theory, and find agreement up to expected errors due to the multiple wrapping. For six-dimensional theories on $N$ M5-branes we calculate the indices by analyzing extended M2-branes in $AdS_7\times \boldsymbol{S}^4$. Again, we include only configurations with single wrapping. We first compare the result for $N=1$ with the index of the free tensor multiplet to estimate the order of the error due to multiple wrapping. We calculate first few terms of the index of $A_{N-1}$ theories explicitly, and confirm that they can be expanded by superconformal representations. We also discuss multiple-wrapping contributions to the six-dimensional Schur-like index.

Functional food (Omega 3 milk) and regular food (regular milk) are used as examples to explore the potential reference-dependent effects and labelling effects. A consumer utility model with reference point effects is developed. The paper also explores how to model the effects of different labelling (health claim) policies, which could influence consumer preferences by changing consumers’ reference points.

 Taxonomic notes
 Corbet and Hill (1992) noted that ‘if specimen BMNH 14.7.8.63 from Maymyo (= Pyin Oo Lwin, Shan State) correctly rep- resents austenianus then it is certainly close to H. (= Pipistrellus) savii (Hill, 1962) and may represent a further subspecies’. How- ever, examination of the skull and dentition of this specimen for the current paper shows that it is referable to P. pulveratus and not H. savii. Since the status of austenianus re- mains uncertain, H. savii should be omitted from the Myanmar faunal list until data sup- porting its presence are found.

description: Recent anomalies in $^8$Be and $^4$He nuclear decays can be explained by postulating a fifth force mediated by a new boson $X$. The distributions of both transitions are consistent with the same $X$ mass, 17 MeV, providing kinematic evidence for a single new particle explanation. In this work, we examine whether the new results also provide dynamical evidence for a new particle explanation, that is, whether the observed decay rates of both anomalies can be described by a single hypothesis for the $X$ boson's interactions. We consider the observed $^8$Be and $^4$He excited nuclei, as well as a $^{12}$C excited nucleus; together these span the possible $J^P$ quantum numbers up to spin 1. For each transition, we determine whether scalar, pseudoscalar, vector, or axial vector $X$ particles can mediate the decay, and we construct the leading operators in a nuclear physics effective field theory that describes them. Assuming parity conservation, the scalar case is excluded and the pseudoscalar case is highly disfavored. Remarkably, however, the protophobic vector gauge boson, first proposed to explain only the $^8$Be anomaly, also explains the $^4$He anomaly within experimental uncertainties. We predict signal rates for other closely related nuclear measurements, which, if confirmed, will provide overwhelming evidence that a fifth force has been discovered.

Is the efficiency of sunfleck utilization an important determinant of shade tolerance? : a case study with Western redcedar and coastal Douglas-fir in the understory of red alder
Creators: name: McKinnon, L. M.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: To determine whether efficient photosynthetic utilization of sunflecks may be an important determinant of shade tolerance among sympatric conifer species, transient and steady-state photosynthetic responses to light were characterized for two conifers of contrasting shade tolerance growing under a closed canopy of red alder {Alnus rubra Bong.). Western redcedar {Thuja plicata Donn) is a very shade tolerant species which can survive for extended periods in deep understory shade, whereas coastal Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco var. menziesii) exhibits poorer survival and is considered shade intolerant. The requirement for photosynthetic induction initially limited photosynthesis in both species by about 70%. Given constant high light, times to reach 50% and 90% of full photosynthetic induction were 3.5 and 31.8 minutes for redcedar and 2.2 and 19.8 minutes for Douglasfir. However, despite requiring more time to become fully induced, redcedar attained similar or higher absolute photosynthetic rates (on both area and mass bases) as Douglas-fir during the same induction time-course. Little loss of induction occurred in either species during 2 and 5 minutes in shade, but redcedar maintained induction better than Douglas-fir after 15 and 30 minutes. This was, however, unlikely to be important on sunny days when the time between most sunflecks was <30 seconds and only rarely exceeded 5 minutes. When given a fluctuating light regime consisting of five 30 second lightflecks (simulated sunflecks) separated by 2 minute intervals of low light, redcedar achieved a similar induction state as Douglas-fir because it maintained a high rate of stomatal opening between lightflecks which compensated for its longer initial lag period for stomatal opening. Lightfleck use efficiency and the contribution of net post-illumination C 0 2 fixation to the overall carbon gain attributable to lightflecks did not differ significantly between species, nor did absolute carbon gain or rates of carbon gain in fluctuating light. However, while the two species did not clearly separate on the basis of photosynthetic induction characteristics, gas exchange measurements under steady-state conditions indicated that redcedar had an approximately two-fold lower foliar dark respiration rate and light compensation point than Douglas-fir. It is concluded that interspecific differences in the efficiency of sunfleck utilization are much less likely to be important in explaining the contrasting shade tolerance of these species than differences in dark respiration.

description: We study the stationary dynamics of an active interacting Brownian particle system. We measure the violations of the fluctuation dissipation theorem, and the corresponding effective temperature, in a locally resolved way. Quite naturally, in the homogeneous phases the diffusive properties and effective temperature are also homogeneous. Instead, in the inhomogeneous phases (close to equilibrium and within the MIPS sector) the particles can be separated in two groups with different diffusion properties and effective temperatures. Notably, at fixed activity strength the effective temperatures in the two phases remain distinct and approximately constant within the MIPS region, with values corresponding to the ones of the whole system at the boundaries of this sector of the phase diagram. We complement the study of the globally averaged properties with the theoretical and numerical characterization of the fluctuation distributions of the single particle diffusion, linear response, and effective temperature in the homogeneous and inhomogeneous phases. We also distinguish the behavior of the (time-delayed) effective temperature from the (instantaneous) kinetic temperature, showing that the former is independent on the friction coefficient.

description: Tourism development can have positive and/or negative impacts on wildlife. However, if tourism is developed in accordance with the basic tenets of wildlife tourism such an activity can be sustainable and can aid the conservation of species. Based on two case studies in Queensland, Australia, this article outlines the various economic and conservation benefits arising from wildlife-based tourism. Some of the benefits are direct, such as tangible economic benefits, others are less tangible, such as increased visitors’ willingness to pay in principle for the conservation of species. Wildlife-based tourism is shown to foster political support for the conservation of species utilized for such tourism by various mechanisms. Non-consumptive uses of wildlife are not only sustainable, but may provide a viable alternative to consumptive uses.

description: We investigate fidelity, the Loschmidt echo, for a Bose-Einstein Condensate. It is found that the fidelity decays with time in various ways (exponential, Gaussian, and power-law), depending on the choice of initial coherent state as well as the parameters that determine properties of the underlying classical dynamics. Moreover, high fidelity is found for initial states lying in the regular region of a mixed-type phase space. A possible experimental scheme is suggested.

Two-fluid simulations of the magnetic field evolution in neutron star cores in the weak-coupling regime

description: In a previous paper, we reported simulations of the evolution of the magnetic field in neutron star cores through ambipolar diffusion, taking the neutrons as a motionless uniform background. However, in real neutron stars, neutrons are free to move, and a strong composition gradient leads to stable stratification (stability against convective motions) both of which might impact on the time-scales of evolution. Here we address these issues by providing the first long-term two-fluid simulations of the evolution of an axially symmetric magnetic field in a neutron star core composed of neutrons, protons, and electrons with density and composition gradients. Again, we find that the magnetic field evolves towards barotropic "Grad-Shafranov equilibria", in which the magnetic force is balanced by the degeneracy pressure gradient and gravitational force of the charged particles. However, the evolution is found to be faster than in the case of motionless neutrons, as the movement of charged particles (which are coupled to the magnetic field, but are also limited by the collisional drag forces exerted by neutrons) is less constrained, since neutrons are now allowed to move. The possible impact of non-axisymmetric instabilities on these equilibria, as well as beta decays, proton superconductivity, and neutron superfluidity, are left for future work.
Kibble-Zurek mechanism from different angles: The transverse XY model and subleading scalings

description: The Kibble-Zurek mechanism describes the saturation of critical scaling upon dynamically approaching a phase transition. This is a consequence of the breaking of adiabaticity due to the scale set by the slow drive. By driving the gap parameter, this can be used to determine the leading critical exponents. But this is just the `tip of the iceberg': Driving more general couplings allows one to activate the entire universal spectrum of critical exponents. Here we establish this phenomenon and its observable phenomenology for the quantum phase transitions in an analytically solvable minimal model and the experimentally relevant transverse XY model. The excitation density is shown to host the sequence of exponents including the subleading ones in the asymptotic scaling behavior by a proper design of the geometry of the driving protocol in the phase diagram. The case of a parallel drive relative to the phase boundary can still lead to the breaking of adiabaticity, and exposes the subleading exponents in the clearest way. Complementarily to disclosing universal information, we extract the restrictions due to the non-universal content of the models onto the extent of the subleading scalings regimes.
Quantized Normal Matrices: Some Exact Results and Collective Field Formulation

description: We formulate and study a class of U(N)-invariant quantum mechanical models of large normal matrices with arbitrary rotation-invariant matrix potentials. We concentrate on the U(N) singlet sector of these models. In the particular case of quadratic matrix potential, the singlet sector can be mapped by a similarity transformation onto the two-dimensional Calogero-Marchioro-Sutherland model at specific couplings. For this quadratic case we were able to solve the $N-$body Schrödinger equation and obtain infinite sets of singlet eigenstates of the matrix model with given total angular momentum. Our main object in this paper is to study the singlet sector in the collective field formalism, in the large-N limit. We obtain in this framework the ground state eigenvalue distribution and ground state energy for an arbitrary potential, and outline briefly the way to compute bona-fide quantum phase transitions in this class of models. As explicit examples, we analyze the models with quadratic and quartic potentials. In the quartic case, we also touch upon the disk-annulus quantum phase transition. In order to make our presentation self-contained, we also discuss, in a manner which is somewhat complementary to standard expositions, the theory of point canonical transformations in quantum mechanics for systems whose configuration space is endowed with non-euclidean metric, which is the basis for constructing the collective field theory.

description: Despite growing attention to crop and property damage caused by the Asian elephant, uncertainty exists about the magnitude of this problem. This paper explores the nature and magnitude of this problem of Sri Lanka. An economic analysis of individual farmers’ decisions to control elephants is provided. Government policies to assist farmers to cope with the elephant pest problem are assessed. Appropriate compensation schemes for farmers are seen as potentially more effective for conserving elephants in Sri Lanka than legal prohibitions on killing of elephants. Issues raised have wider relevance than merely to Sri Lanka or Asian elephants.

description: Bound states and their influence on the dynamics of an one-dimensional tight-binding system subject to environments are studied in this paper. We identify specifically three kinds of bound states. The first is a discrete bound state (DBS), of which the energy level exhibits a gap from the continuum. The DBS exhibits the similar features of localization as the edge states in the system and thus can suppress the decay of system. The second is a bound state in the continuum (BIC), which can suppress the system decay too. It is found that the BIC is intimately connected to the edge mode of the system since both of them show almost the same features of localization and energy. The third one displays a large gap from the continuum and behaves extendible (not localized). Moreover the population of the system on this state decays partly but not all of them does. This is different from the two former bound states. The time evolution of a single excitation in the system is studied in order to illustrate the influence of the bound states. We found that both DBS and BIC play an important role in the time evolution, for example, the excitation becomes localized and not decay depending on the overlap between the initial state and the DBS or BIC. Furthermore we observe that the single excitation takes a long-range hopping when the system falls into the regime of strong localizations. This feature can be understood as the interplay of system localizations and the bath-induced long-range correlation.

description: Robot-assisted surgery is an emerging technology which has undergone rapid growth with the development of robotics and imaging systems. Innovations in vision, haptics and accurate movements of robot arms have enabled surgeons to perform precise minimally invasive surgeries. Real-time semantic segmentation of the robotic instruments and tissues is a crucial step in robot-assisted surgery. Accurate and efficient segmentation of the surgical scene not only aids in the identification and tracking of instruments but also provided contextual information about the different tissues and instruments being operated with. For this purpose, we have developed a light-weight cascaded convolutional neural network (CNN) to segment the surgical instruments from high-resolution videos obtained from a commercial robotic system. We propose a multi-resolution feature fusion module (MFF) to fuse the feature maps of different dimensions and channels from the auxiliary and main branch. We also introduce a novel way of combining auxiliary loss and adversarial loss to regularize the segmentation model. Auxiliary loss helps the model to learn low-resolution features, and adversarial loss improves the segmentation prediction by learning higher order structural information. The model also consists of a light-weight spatial pyramid pooling (SPP) unit to aggregate rich contextual information in the intermediate stage. We show that our model surpasses existing algorithms for pixel-wise segmentation of surgical instruments in both prediction accuracy and segmentation time of high-resolution videos.

description: Heavy-light diquarks can be the building blocks of a rich spectrum of states which can accommodate some of the newly observed charmonium-like resonances not fitting a pure c-cbar assignment. We examine this possibility for hidden and open charm diquark-antidiquark states deducing spectra from constituent quark masses and spin-spin interactions. Taking the X(3872) as input we predict the existence of a 2++ state that can be associated to the X(3940) observed by Belle and re-examine the state claimed by SELEX, X(2632). The possible assignment of the previously discovered states D_s(2317) and D_s(2457) is discussed. We predict X(3872) to be made of two components with a mass difference related to (m_u-m_d) and discuss the production of X(3872) and of its charged partner X^(+-) in the weak decays of B^(+,0).
