description: We study kink (domain wall) solutions in a model consisting of two complex scalar fields coupled to two independent Abelian gauge fields in a Lagrangian that has $U(1)\times U(1)$ gauge plus $\mathbb{Z}_2$ discrete symmetry. We find consistent solutions such that while the U(1) symmetries of the fields are preserved while in their respective vacua, they are broken on the domain wall. The gauge field solutions show that the domain wall is sandwiched between domains with constant magnetic fields.

The frozen (inactive) disk in Sgr A: freezing the accretion of the hot gas too?
Creators: name: Nayakshin, Sergei
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The black hole in our Galactic Center is extremely underluminous for the amount of hot gas available for accretion. Theoretical understanding of this fact rests on a likely but not entirely certain assumption that the electrons in the accreting gas are much cooler than the protons. In this case the hot gas as a whole is too hot to accrete, and is too tenous to radiate away its gravitational energy. Here we propose a drastically different picture of the accretion process in Sgr A* not based on the unchecked two-temperature assumption. Namely, we argue that there should exist a very cold inactive disk -- a remnant of a past stronger accretion activity in Sgr A*. Such a disk would be a very efficient cooling surface for the hot flow. We show that under certain conditions the cooling due to thermal conduction cannot be balanced by the viscous heating in the hot flow. Along with the heat, the hot flow loses its viscosity and thus ability to accrete. It settles (condences) onto the cold disk slighlty inside of the circularization radius. If the latter is very large, then the liberated energy, and the luminosity emitted, is orders of magnitude less than naively expected. We build a simple analytical model for this flow and calculate the expected spectra that appear to be in a very reasonble agreement with observations. Strong additional support for the presence of the inactive disk comes from the recent observations of X-ray flares in Sgr A*. The properties of these flares are very similar to those produced by stars passing through a cold disk.

description: This study investigated literature circles and book clubs as instructional techniques in Benue State, Nigeria. The purpose of the study is to ascertain the effects of literature circles and book clubs on ND1 & NCE1 students’ performance in Literature-in-English in Polythenics and Colleges of Education in Benue State, Nigeria. The study adopted quasi-experimental, non-equivalent, non-randomised, pretest, and posttest design and control group. Two research questions were answered and two null hypotheses were tested. A sample of ND1 & NCE1 students was drawn from two polythenics and two Colleges of Education with the target population of 4956 in the study area using purposive sampling techniques. Experimental groups 1 and 2 were exposed to literature circle and book clubs respectively while the control group was exposed to lecture method. Data were collected using Students’ Literature-in-English Performance Test (SLPT) validated by three experts. Spearman Rank Order Correlation Co-efficient was used to determine the reliability of the instrument which yielded a reliability coefficient of 0.92. Data were analysed using mean and standard deviations to answer the research questions while Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. Findings revealed that there is significant difference in the mean performance scores of students taught Literature-in-English using literature circles and those taught using lecture method (P = 0.000 < 0.05) in favour of literature circles. Findings also showed that there is significant difference in performance scores of students taught Literature-in-English using book clubs (P = 0.000 < 0.05). Based on findings, it was recommended among other things that Literature-in-English teachers should adopt literature circles and book clubs as teaching techniques to help students enhance their comprehension and academic performance.

description: The problem of the "least uncomfortable journey" between two locations on a straight line, originally discussed by Anderson {\it et al.} (2016 {\it Am. J. Phys.} {\bf 84} 6905) is revisited. When the integral of the square of the acceleration is used as a measure of the discomfort, the problem is shown to be easily solvable by taking the time, instead of the position, as the independent variable. The solution is quite simple and avoids not only complicated differential equations and the computation of cumbersome integrals, but also the inversion of functions by solving cubic equations. Next, the same problem, but now with the integral of the square of the jerk as a measure of the discomfort, is also exactly solved with time as the independent variable and the appropriate boundary conditions, which are derived. It is argued that the boundary conditions imposed on the velocity in Anderson {\it et al.} (2016 {\it Am. J. Phys.} {\bf 84} 6905) are inappropriate not only because they are not always physically realizable but also because they do not lead to the minimum discomfort possible.

description: A hybrid photo-detector (HPD) consisting of a photocathode and a multi-pixel avalanche diode (MP-AD) was developed a few years ago. Our previous studies showed that its inherent potential for high resolution photon counting could be further enhanced by reducing fluctuations in charge loss in the dead layer at the entrance of the MP-AD. In this paper, we report on the improvement with the newly developed HPD whose encapsulated MP-AD has a thinner dead layer than before. It is demonstrated that the new HPD has much better energy resolution, which enables clearer counting up to nine photoelectrons. Further enhancement of the photocathode sensitivity of the HPD is also discussed.

Crowdfunding is an alternative funding mechanism whereby innovators can access funding for their projects using a variety of “payback” options to investors – from traditional rewards such as equity, dividends and repayments with interest to non-monetary rewards such as physical or digital rewards. It has been defined by Schwienbacher and Larralde (2010) as an open call to the crowd to generate financial resources for particular purposes. The reward?based model is of great interest as it gives the option of providing incentives to investors without using money (which is in short supply) or giving up equity – yet still being able to provide rewards which are of great interest to investors such as prototypes of games, a character in a game, early versions of products, or products at an exclusive discount (Islam and Phillips, 2020).
Star formation history in early-type galaxies. I. The line absorption indices diagnostics

Year: 2004

description: The bottom line of this study is (i) to check whether normal (quiescent) and interacting EGs have a different behavior in the popular diagnostic planes such as Hb vs. [MgFe] (and others); (ii) to seek whether the signature of mergers and/or interactions may mirror in some specific changes of the indices that could un-equivocally hint for burts of stellar activity; (iii) to evaluate the intensity of those bursts or secondary episodes of star formation; (iv) to explore whether other alternatives can exist, i.e. distinct from obvious ones resting on large age range. The data show that both normal, field and interacting galaxies have the same scattered but smooth distribution in the Hb vs. [MgFe] diagnostic plane. There are two interpretations for this: (1) EGs span larges ranges of ages and metallicities. (2) The bulk population of stars is old but subsequent episodes of star formation scatter the object in the diagnostic planes. Both these interpretation are not able to reproduce the observed distribution. The above schemes are too demanding because of the many ad hoc ingredients that have to be introduced. Furthermore they neglect the observationally grounded hint that the stellar content of EGs is likely enhanced in alfa-elements. We propose here a new scheme, in which the bulk dispersion of galaxies in the index-index plane is caused by a different mean degree of enhancement. The possibility that EGs span large ranges of [alpha/Fe] and metallicities but narrow ranges of ages for the bulk population favors the monolithic scheme.

description: In the context of (4+d)-dimensional general relativity, we propose an inflationary scenario wherein 3 spatial dimensions grow large, while d extra dimensions remain small. Our model requires that a self-interacting d-form acquire a vacuum expectation value along the extra dimensions. This causes 3 spatial dimensions to inflate, whilst keeping the size of the extra dimensions nearly constant. We do not require an additional stabilization mechanism for the radion, as stable solutions exist for flat, and for negatively curved compact extra dimensions. From a four-dimensional perspective, the radion does not couple to the inflaton; and, the small amplitude of the CMB temperature anisotropies arises from an exponential suppression of fluctuations, due to the higher-dimensional origin of the inflaton. The mechanism triggering the end of inflation is responsible, both, for heating the universe, and for avoiding violations of the equivalence principle due to coupling between the radion and matter.

description: The CFA franc and the Comorian franc are colonial francs which derive from the split, made by the monetary reform of 26 December 1945, between the metropolitan franc and the currencies used in the French colonies. As far as the CFA franc is concerned, its history is fundamentally marked by the spectre of devaluation, the spectre of countless attempts and the spectre of numerous implementations, which are a reminder that the CFA franc carries a congenital infirmity: its birth coincides with the devaluation of the metropolitan franc. The CFA franc and the Comorian franc are the two currencies of the franc zone, a group of fifteen countries that depend on three central banks: the Central Bank of West African States (BCEAO), the Central Bank of Central African States (BEAC) and the Central Bank of the Comoros (BCC). It should be specified that the monetary unit designated by the CFA franc is different depending on whether the countries are in Central or West Africa. Originally called the franc of the French colonies in Africa, the CFA franc became in 1958 the franc of the African Financial Community in West Africa, within the framework of the West African Monetary Union (WAMU), acting within the limits of the objectives of the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU); and in parallel, the franc of the African Financial Cooperation in Central Africa, within the framework of the Central African Monetary Union (CAMU), acting within the limits of the objectives of the Central African Economic and Monetary Community (CEMAC).

description: In this study, we systematically investigated the structural, mechanical, electronic and optical properties of Sn2Bi monolayer, a sheet experimentally synthesized recently [PRL, 121, 126801 (2018)] which has been hydrogenated (Sn2BiH2) to stabilize free-standing form using density functional theory (DFT). For tuning the band structure and electronic properties, the mechanical strain and electric field are used. Our investigations show that in this free-standing sample, there are electron flat bands and free hole bands like the recently synthesized sample on silicon wafer, which provide the possibility of having strongly localized electrons and free holes with high mobility. Also, the band gap of Sn2BiH2 monolayer has experienced a growth of 80% compared with the experimental sample. The relevant results to strain suggest that the band gap can be properly manipulated by biaxial strain (-13% to +21%) within a range from 0.2 to 1.6 eV. It should be mentioned that the stability and flexibility of the corresponding monolayer under tensile and compressive strain are due to the strong σ bonds between atoms. We also realized the strain can cause indirect-direct transition in the band gap. Furthermore, our optical findings indicate that the Sn2BiH2 monolayer has almost metallic properties in a specific range of UV spectrum and it is transparent in the IR and visible spectrum of electromagnetic radiation. All these tunable properties and nontrivial features portend that Sn2BiH2 monolayer has great potentials in applications as near-infrared detectors, thermoelectric devices, field-effect transistors, sensors, photocatalysis, energy harvesting, and optoelectronics.

description: We present the results of XMM-Newton observations of four high-z quasars, two radio-loud and two radio-quiet. One of the radio-loud objects, PKS 2126-158, clearly shows absorption in excess of the galactic value as claimed before from ASCA and ROSAT observations. For PKS 2149-306 the evidence for excess absorption is only marginal in contrast to previous results. The location of the absorber in PKS 2126-158 is compatible with the redshift of the source. Both, a warm and a cold absorber are allowed by the X-ray data. Both quasars have very flat photon spectra (Γ\la 1.5) and the high photon statistics reveal small deviations from a simple power law form. For the two radio-quiet objects, Q 0000-263 and Q 1442+2931, we determine, for the first time, reliable spectral parameters. Both quasars have steeper power laws (Γ\sim 2) and show absorption consistent with the galactic value, similar to radio-quiet quasars at low redshifts. In the case of Q 0000-263 the presence of the damped Ly$α$ system (N(HI)\sim 2.6\times 10^{21} cm^{-2} at z = 3.39) cannot be examined further due to the limited photon statistics in all instruments.

description: Local government administration plays a crucial role in community development particularly in health care delivery. This study examined the effect of local government administration on health care service delivery in Oturkpo local government area of Benue State. Specifically, it examined the effect of local government administration on drug availability; prevention and control of diseases; and maternal and child health provision in Oturkpo local government area. Three research questions and hypotheses guided the study. The study employed a descriptive survey research design. Population of the study were the residents of the local council and they were 266,411. However, they were reduced to a researchable size of 400 through Taro Yamane Statitical formula. Analysis of the data was done through Mean score. Hypotheses of the study was done through Chi-square tool leading to the findigs of the study. The study found that local government administration in Oturkpo Benue State has no significant positive effect on drug availability; prevention and control of diseases; and provision of maternal and child health in the area. The study concluded that even though it is a constitutional requirement in Nigeria for local councils to deliver health care to the localities, most of them are failing in that requirement. The study therefore recommended for adequate funding from higher authorities to the local councils to enable them fulfil their constitutional duties.

The Itinerancy and Interactions of the Linear Strings of Holes in Copper Oxide Superconductors

Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Here I present a new model for the itinerancy of the strings of holes in the Cuprates HTSC. The model assumes various scenarios with respect to the order of the holes hopping and evaluates the weighting parameters for the different scenarios. The new model still results in the aggregation of holes into strings, but yields a spectral distribution for the itinerancy rates of the strings. From this distribution I infer a spectral distribution for the magnetic interaction between the strings, which suggests also a spectral distribution for the pseudogap parameter, and some relevant experimental functions. Apart from these distributions, the basic assumptions of former relevant theories remain intact. Such assumptions are the existence of the anti-ferromagnetic phases A and B, the basic structure of the pseudogap ground state, the excitation operators, and the field. The ground state and the field are basically divided into two bands, the gapless low energy band, and the high energy band. Due to the wide distributions, the bands may be partially overlapped.

description: The force between two approaching solids in a liquid medium becomes increasingly large with decreasing separation, a phenomenon that prevents contact between the two solids. This growth in force occurs because of the intervening liquid, and, studies of such physical systems constitute the classical discipline of lubrication. Furthermore, when the solid(s) are soft, there are quantitative as well as qualitative alterations in the force interaction due to the solids' deformation. The underlying physics as well as resultant system behaviour are even more complex when forces of non-hydrodynamic origin come into play, two major classes of such forces being the DLVO (Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek) forces and the non-DLVO molecular forces. Studies assessing the coupling of these physical phenomenon are avenues of contemporary research. With this view, we perform an analytical study of fluid-mediated oscillatory motion of a rigid sphere over an ultra-thin soft coating, delineating the distinctive effects of solvation force as well as substrate compliance. Our key finding is the major augmentation in the force and substrate-deformation characteristics of the system due to solvation force when the confinement reduces to a few nanometers. Consideration of solvation force leads to upto four orders of magnitude and upto three orders of magnitude increment in force and substrate-deformation respectively. While higher softness leads to higher deformation (as expected), its effect on force and substrate-deformation characteristics exhibits a tendency towards amelioration of the increment due to solvation force.

description: Physical systems reach thermal equilibrium through energy exchange with their environment, and for spins in solids the relevant environment is almost always the host lattice in which they sit. However, recent studies motivated by observations from Purcell showed how coupling to a cavity can become the dominant form of relaxation for spins, given suitably strong spin-cavity coupling. In this regime, the cavity electromagnetic field takes over from the lattice as the dominant environment, inviting the prospect of controlling the spin temperature independently from that of the lattice, by engineering a suitable cavity field. Here, we report on precisely such control over spin temperature, illustrating a novel and universal method of electron spin hyperpolarisation. By switching the cavity input between loads at different temperatures we can control the electron spin polarisation, cooling it below the lattice temperature. Our demonstration uses donor spins in silicon coupled to a superconducting micro-resonator and we observe an increase of spin polarisation of over a factor of two. This approach provides general route to signal enhancement in electron spin resonance, or indeed nuclear magnetic resonance through dynamical nuclear spin polarisation (DNP).

description: The African Union’s environmental year 2019 makes it possible to draws attention of scholars and decision-makers on the most recent developments in environmental law and policy in the framework of the continental organisation. Throughout 2019, the African Union main organs, the Assembly of African Union and the Executive Council, as well as their technical supports, the Specialized Technical Committees and other, have dealt with a variety of issues related to environment, climate, and further sustainable development. At the outset, it is worth noting that voluntarism appears to be a very characteristic of the African Union’s commitment, such an approach is also sustained by the obvious determination of the organisation to engage the strict pathway to the energy transition. This paper proposes to set forth the tremendous developments related to trade and environment, climate change, sustainable development, forced displacement and internal migration, natural disasters, etc. Effective steps are made in order to promote programmes, initiatives, and strategical plans aiming at correlating environment, energy and natural resources law and policy consolidation throughout the continent.

description: We show that a self-tuning mechanism of the cosmological constant could work in 5D non-compact space-time with a $Z_2$ symmetry in the presence of a massless scalar field. The standard model matter fields live only on the 4D brane. The change of vacuum energy on the brane (brane cosmological constant) by, for instance, electroweak and QCD phase transitions, just gives rise to dynamical shifts of the profiles of the background metric and the scalar field in the extra dimension, keeping 4D space-time flat without any fine-tuning. To avoid naked singularities in the bulk, the brane cosmological constant should be negative. We introduce an additional brane-localized 4D Einstein-Hilbert term so as to provide the observed 4D gravity with the non-compact extra dimension. With a general form of brane-localized gravity term allowed by the symmetries, the low energy Einstein gravity is successfully reproduced on the brane at long distances. We show this phenomenon explicitly for the case of vanishing bulk cosmological constant.

description: As the optical analogue to integrated electronics, integrated photonics has already found widespread use in data centers in the form of optical interconnects. As global network traffic continues its rapid expansion, the power consumption of such circuits becomes a critical consideration. Electrically tunable devices in photonic integrated circuits contribute significantly to the total power budget, as they traditionally rely on inherently power-consuming phenomena such as the plasma dispersion effect or the thermo-optic effect for operation. Here, we demonstrate ultra-low-power refractive index tuning in a hybrid barium titanate (BTO)-silicon nitride (SiN) platform integrated on silicon. We achieve tuning by exploiting the large electric field-driven Pockels effect in ferroelectric BTO thin films of sub-100 nm thickness. The extrapolated power consumption for tuning a free spectral range (FSR) in racetrack resonator devices is only 106 nW/FSR, several orders of magnitude less than many previous reports. We demonstrate the technological potential of our hybrid BTO-SiN technology by compensating thermally induced refractive index variations over a temperature range of 20 °C and by using our platform to fabricate tunable multiresonator optical filters. Our hybrid BTO-SiN technology significantly advances the field of ultra-low-power integrated photonic devices and allows for the realization of next-generation efficient photonic circuits for use in a variety of fields, including communications, sensing, and computing.

description: Shares held by three large processing firms of open-interest futures positions in soybeans, soybean meal, and soybean oil varied substantially among commodities and individual contract months during 11)57-66. Concentration was frequently higher in soybean meal tllan in soybean oil, and lowest in soybeans. Higher levels of concentration appeared more often In futures contracts 1 to 3 months before the delivery month than in more distant months. Net long, or speculative, positions of the three firms tended to increase as changes in selected futures price relationships increased prospects for priee gains on the unhedged positions.

description: Environmental economists invest in measuring the value of the environment but put less effort toward integrating that value directly into the economy. Experimental economists evaluate the performance of mechanisms to fund public goods but in some cases offer limited insight into practical implications for developing markets. This discussion presents initial insights into applying mechanisms for private provision of public goods based on demand-side values rather than regulatory-based market incentives such as cap-and-trade policies. Consideration of mechanisms to generate revenue inspires field tests that could direct experiments using threshold public goods and Lindahl’s framework toward applications that transform value into revenue.

description: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmias, which significantly jeopardizes global cardiovascular health through the complicated heart failure and stroke. Published studies have demonstrated the impact of insulin resistance on the genesis of AF. Hence, monitoring insulin resistance may be a possible way to improve the detection of early-stage AF. Accordingly, our work aimed to investigate the association between TyG, a surrogate of insulin resistance, and the prevalent AF, and to evaluate the potential of TyG to refine the detection of prevalent AF in a diabetic population. This cross-sectional study was derived from the National Metabolic Management Center Program and included 3244 diabetic patients between September 2017 and December 2020. TyG was calculated as ln[fasting TG (mg/ dL)× FPG (mg/dL)/2]. AF was diagnosed according to electrocardiography and subjects’ self-reports. The prevalence of AF was 6.57%. In the fully adjusted model, each SD elevation of TyG cast a 40.6% additional risk for prevalent AF. In the quartile analysis, the top quartile showed a 2.120 times risk of prevalent AF compared with the bottom quartile. Smooth curve fitting demonstrated that the association was linear in the full range of TyG, and subgroup analysis suggested that the association was robust in several common subpopulations of AF. Furthermore, ROC results displayed an improvement for the detection of prevalent AF when adding TyG into conventional cardiovascular risk factors (0.812vs.0.825, P = 0.019), and continuous net reclassification index (0.227, 95% CI: 0.088–0.365, P = 0.001) and integrated discrimination index (0.007, 95% CI: 0.001–0.012, P = 0.026) also showed the improvement achieved by TyG. Our data supported a linear and robust correlation between TyG and the prevalent AF in a diabetic population. Moreover, our results implicated the potential usefulness of TyG to refine the detection of prevalent AF in a diabetic population.
