description: We present the first maps of cyanoacetylene isotopologues in Titan's atmosphere, including H$^{13}$CCCN and HCCC$^{15}$N, detected in the 0.9 mm band using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter array (ALMA) around the time of Titan's (southern winter) solstice in May 2017. The first high-resolution map of HC$_3$N in its $v_7=1$ vibrationally excited state is also presented, revealing a unique snapshot of the global HC$_3$N distribution, free from the strong optical depth effects that adversely impact the ground-state ($v=0$) map. The HC$_3$N emission is found to be strongly enhanced over Titan's south pole (by a factor of 5.7 compared to the north pole), consistent with rapid photochemical loss of HC$_3$N from the summer hemisphere combined with production and transport to the winter pole since the April 2015 ALMA observations. The H$^{13}$CCCN/HCCC$^{15}$N flux ratio is derived at the southern HC$_3$N peak, and implies an HC$_3$N/HCCC$^{15}$N ratio of $67\pm14$. This represents a significant enrichment in $^{15}$N compared with Titan's main molecular nitrogen reservoir, which has a $^{14}$N/$^{15}$N ratio of 167, and confirms the importance of photochemistry in determining the nitrogen isotopic ratio in Titan's organic inventory.

description: Monodisperse microbubble ultrasound contrast agents have been proposed to further increase the signal-to-noise-ratio of contrast enhanced ultrasound imaging. Here, the sensitivity of a polydisperse preclinical agent was compared experimentally to that of its size- and acoustically-sorted derivatives by using narrowband pressure- and frequency-dependent scattering and attenuation measurements. The sorted monodisperse agents showed up to a two orders of magnitude increase in sensitivity, i.e. in the average scattering cross-section per bubble. Moreover, we demonstrate here, for the first time, that the highly nonlinear response of acoustically sorted microbubbles can be exploited to confine scattering and attenuation to the focal region of ultrasound fields used in clinical imaging. This property is a result of minimal prefocal scattering and attenuation and can be used to minimize shadowing effects in deep tissue imaging. Moreover, it potentially allows for more localized therapy using microbubbles through the spatial control of resonant microbubble oscillations.

description: A non-perturbative expansion method which gives a well-defined analytic continuation of the running coupling constant from the spacelike to the timelike region is applied to the inclusive semileptonic decay of the $τ$--lepton. The method allows us to evaluate $R_τ$ by integration over the non-perturbative physical region, rather than by using Cauchy's theorem, and hence to incorporate threshold effects in a very direct way. Within our framework the difference between the effective coupling constants in the timelike and spacelike domains can be substantial and is not simply a matter of the standard $π^2$ terms.

description: It is shown that the time-averaged dynamics of memristors and their networks periodically driven by alternating-polarity pulses may converge to fixed-point attractors. Starting with a general memristive system model, we derive basic equations describing the fixed-point attractors and investigate attractors in the dynamics of ideal, threshold-type and second-order memristors, and memristive networks. A memristor potential function is introduced, and it is shown that in some cases the attractor identification problem can be mapped to the problem of potential function minimization. Importantly, the fixed-point attractors may only exist if the function describing the internal state dynamics depends on an internal state variable. Our findings may be used to tune the states of analog memristors, and also be relevant to memristive synapses subjected to forward- and back-propagating spikes.

This case is of interest for schematic models of QCD at finite temperature.

H2 and its relation to CO in the LMC and other magellanic irregulars
Creators: name: Israel, F. P.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1997
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: H2 column densities towards CO clouds in the LMC and SMC are estimated from their far-infrared surface brightness and HI column density. N(H2)/I(CO) conversion factors are X(LMC) = 1.3 and X(SMC) = 12 (unit: 10**21 mol cm**-2 (K km/s)**-1). LMC and SMC contain total (warm) H2 masses of 1.0 and 0.75 x 10**8 M(sun) respectively. Similar local H2/HI mass ratios are found in the magellanic irregulars NGC 1569 (X = 16), NGC 55, 4214 and 6822 (X = 3--6) and in NGC 4449 as well as the extragalactic HII regions NGC 604, 595 and 5461 in M 33 and M 101 (X = 1--2). The CO--H2 conversion factor X depends on both the ambient radiation field intensity per nucleon s(FIR)/N(H) and metallicity [O]/[H]. The results are interpreted as the consequence of selective photodissociation of CO subjected to high radiation field energy densities and poor (self)shielding in low-metallicity environments, and especially the preferential destruction of diffuse CO in `interclump' molecular gas. Although locally H2 may be the dominant ISM-component, the average global H2/HI mass ratio is 0.2 and the average H2 gas mass fraction is 0.12. Magellanic irregulars thus have warm molecular gas fractions very similar to those of our Galaxy, whereas other global properties (mass, luminosity, metallicity, CO luminosity) are very different.

description: The exact 2-point function of certain physically motivated operators in SYK-like spin glass models is computed, bypassing the Schwinger-Dyson equations. The models possess an IR low energy conformal window, but our results are exact at all time scales. The main tool developed is a new approach to the combinatorics of chord diagrams, allowing to rewrite the spin glass system using an auxiliary Hilbert space, and Hamiltonian, built on the space of open chord diagrams. We argue the latter can be interpreted as the bulk description and that it reduces to the Schwarzian action in the low energy limit.

The Indispensability of Ghost Fields in the Light-Cone Gauge Quantization of Gauge Fields

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We continue McCartor and Robertson's recent demonstration of the indispensability of ghost fields in the light-cone gauge quantization of gauge fields. It is shown that the ghost fields are indispensable in deriving well-defined antiderivatives and in regularizing the most singular component of gauge field propagator. To this end it is sufficient to confine ourselves to noninteracting abelian fields. Furthermore to circumvent dealing with constrained systems, we construct the temporal gauge canonical formulation of the free electromagnetic field in auxiliary coordinates $x^μ=(x^-,x^+,x^1,x^2)$ where $x^-=x^0 cosθ-x^3 sinθ, x^+=x^0 sinθ+x^3 cosθ$ and $x^-$ plays the role of time. In so doing we can quantize the fields canonically without any constraints, unambiguously introduce "static ghost fields" as residual gauge degrees of freedom and construct the light-cone gauge solution in the light-cone representation by simply taking the light-cone limit ($θ\to π/4$). As a by product we find that, with a suitable choice of vacuum the Mandelstam-Leibbrandt form of the propagator can be derived in the $θ=0$ case (the temporal gauge formulation in the equal-time representation).

description: We have designed and realized magnetic trapping geometries for ultracold atoms based on permanent magnetic films. Magnetic chip based experiments give a high level of control over trap barriers and geometric boundaries in a compact experimental setup. These structures can be used to study quantum spin physics in a wide range of energies and length scales. By introducing defects into a triangular lattice, kagome and hexagonal lattice structures can be created. Rectangular lattices and (quasi-)one-dimensional structures such as ladders and diamond chain trapping potentials have also been created. Quantum spin models can be studied in all these geometries with Rydberg atoms, which allow for controlled interactions over several micrometers. We also present some nonperiodic geometries where the length scales of the traps are varied over a wide range. These tapered structures offer another way to transport large numbers of atoms adiabatically into subwavelength traps and back.

We investigate the hierarchy of parton distributions obtained at LO, NLO and NNLO, and, more important, the stability of the resulting predictions for physical observables. We use the longitudinal structure function $F_L$ and the cross sections $σ_W, σ_Z$ for $W$ and $Z$ hadroproduction as examples. For $F_L$ we find relatively poor convergence, with increasing order, at small $x$; whereas $σ_{W,Z}$ are much more reliably predicted.

description: In-network computing using programmable networking hardware is a strong trend in networking that promises to reduce latency and consumption of server resources through offloading to network elements (programmable switches and smart NICs). In particular, the data plane programming language P4 together with powerful P4 networking hardware has spawned projects offloading services into the network, e.g., consensus services or caching services. In this paper, we present a novel case for in-network computing, namely, Complex Event Processing (CEP). CEP processes streams of basic events, e.g., stemming from networked sensors, into meaningful complex events. Traditionally, CEP processing has been performed on servers or overlay networks. However, we argue in this paper that CEP is a good candidate for in-network computing along the communication path avoiding detouring streams to distant servers to minimize communication latency while also exploiting processing capabilities of novel networking hardware. We show that it is feasible to express CEP operations in P4 and also present a tool to compile CEP operations, formulated in our P4CEP rule specification language, to P4 code. Moreover, we identify challenges and problems that we have encountered to show future research directions for implementing full-fledged in-network CEP systems.

description: We study the cosmology of the Supersymmetric Standard Model augmented by a gauge singlet to solve the $μ$-problem and describe the evolution of the domain walls which are created during electroweak symmetry breaking due to the discrete $Z_{3}$ symmetry in this model. The usual assumption, that non-renormalizable terms induced by gravity (which explicitly break this symmetry) may cause the walls to collapse on a cosmologically safe timescale, is reconsidered. Such terms are constrained by considerations of primordial nucleosynthesis, and also by the fact that by not respecting the $Z_{3}$ symmetry they induce divergences which destabilise the hierarchy and reintroduce the $μ$--problem. We find that, even when the Kähler potential is `non-minimal' (i.e. when the hidden sector couples directly to the visible) the model is either ruled out cosmologically or suffers from a naturalness problem.

description: When looking for gravitational wave signals from known pulsars, targets have been treated using independent searches. Here we use a hierarchical Bayesian framework to combine observations from individual sources for two purposes: to produce a detection statistic for the whole ensemble of sources within a search, and to estimate the hyperparameters of the underlying distribution of pulsar ellipticities. Both purposes require us to assume some functional form of the ellipticity distribution, and as a proof of principle we take two toy distributions. One is an exponential distribution, defined by its mean, and the other is a half-Gaussian distribution defined by its width. We show that by incorporating a common parameterized prior ellipticity distribution we can be more efficient at detecting gravitational waves from the whole ensemble of sources than trying to combine observations with a simpler non-hierarchical method. This may allow us to detect gravitational waves from the ensemble before there is confident detection of any single source. We also apply this method using data for 92 pulsars from LIGO's sixth science run. No evidence for a signal was seen, but 90\% upper limits of $3.9\ee{-8}$ and $4.7\ee{-8}$ were set on the mean of an assumed exponential ellipticity distribution and the width of an assumed half-Gaussian ellipticity distribution, respectively.

description: This article investigates the production and market participation decisions of smallholder cowpea producers in the Northern Region of Ghana. It estimated the factors influencing cowpea production and market participation decisions. A cross-sectional primary data of 300 respondents were sampled from four districts in the northern region of Ghana for the study. We employed the Triple Hurdle Model (THM) for the data analysis. The results reveal that factors influencing cowpea production participation, market participation and intensity of participation are similar and include gender, education, distance to nearest market, own means of transportation, access to market information, proximity good road network, labour, tractor services, value of livestock owned, access to improved cowpea seed, and extension services. Policy measures that promote agricultural diversification should be implemented. Inclusion of cowpea as one of the priority food crops under the government’s flagship “Planting for Food and Jobs programme”. The private sector to take up the sale of improved cowpea seed and provision of tractor hiring services to smallholder cowpea producers. Provision of market spaces, good road infrastructure, and maintaining the free compulsory basic education policy as well as the development of more improved cowpea seed varieties will promote cowpea production and market participation in the Northern Region of Ghana.

description: This study focused on the analysis of factors influencing market participation decisions and the intensity of participation among smallholder maize farmers in Kaduna State, Nigeria. Primary data were collected from 600 randomly selected maize farmers in 2017. Result showed that April and December are the months which farmers sell large quantities of maize. Proportional transaction costs including individual farmer characteristics, private assets, public assets influenced the probability and intensity of market participation at various significant levels. Level of education and ownership of assets are critical in determining the intensity of market participation in the study area. The study concludes that variable transaction costs constitute one of the major binding constraints to maize market participation and commercialisation. The results suggest that policies aimed at developing rural infrastructure, improved access to assets, human and capital development and market information system could reduce transaction costs and enhance market participation and market supply.

description: What is the optimal size and composition of Rural Financial Cooperatives (RFCs)? With this broad question in mind, we characterize alternative formation of RFCs and their implications in improving rural households’ access to financial services, including savings, credit and insurance services. We find that some features of RFCs have varying implications for delivering various financial services (savings, credit and insurance). We find that the size of RFCs exhibits nonlinear relationship with the various financial services RFCs provide. We also show that compositional heterogeneity among members (including diversity in wealth) is associated with higher access to credit services, while this has little implication on households’ savings behavior. Similarly, social cohesion among members is strongly associated with higher access to financial services. These empirical descriptions suggest that the optimal size and composition of RFCs may vary across the domains of financial services they are designed to facilitate. These pieces of evidence provide some suggestive insights on how to ensure financial inclusion among smallholders, a pressing agenda and priority of policy makers in developing countries, including Ethiopia. The results also provide some insights into rural microfinance operations which are striving to satisfy members’ demand for financial services.

description: The mechanism(s) that generate measurement error matter to inference. Sur-vey measurement error is typically thought to represent simple misreporting correctable through improved measurement. But errors might also or alter-natively reﬂect respondent misperceptions that materially aﬀect the respon-dent decisions under study. We show analytically that these alternate data generating processes imply diﬀerent appropriate regression speciﬁcations and have distinct eﬀects on the bias in parameter estimates. We introduce a simple empirical technique to generate unbiased estimates under more gen-eral conditions and to apportion measurement error between misreporting and misperceptions in measurement error when one has both self-reported and objectively-measured observations of the same explanatory variable. We then apply these techniques to the longstanding question of agricultural intensiﬁca-tion: do farmers increase input application rates per unit area as the size of the plots they cultivate decreases? Using nationally representative data from four sub-Saharan African countries, we ﬁnd strong evidence that measurement error in plot size reﬂects a mixture of farmer misreporting and misperceptions. The results matter to inference around the intensiﬁcation hypothesis and call into question whether more objective, precise measures are always preferable when estimating behavioral parameters.
Connecting the large- and the small-scale magnetic fields of solar-like stars

description: A key question in understanding the observed magnetic field topologies of cool stars is the link between the small- and the large-scale magnetic field and the influence of the stellar parameters on the magnetic field topology. We examine various simulated stars to connect the small-scale with the observable large-scale field. The highly resolved 3D simulations we used couple a flux transport model with a non-potential coronal model using a magnetofrictional technique. The surface magnetic field of these simulations is decomposed into spherical harmonics which enables us to analyse the magnetic field topologies on a wide range of length scales and to filter the large-scale magnetic field for a direct comparison with the observations. We show that the large-scale field of the self-consistent simulations fits the observed solar-like stars and is mainly set up by the global dipolar field and the large-scale properties of the flux pattern, e.g. the averaged latitudinal position of the emerging small-scale field and its global polarity pattern. The stellar parameters flux emergence rate, differential rotation and meridional flow affect the large-scale magnetic field topology. An increased flux emergence rate increases the magnetic flux in all field components and an increased differential rotation increases the toroidal field fraction by decreasing the poloidal field. The meridional flow affects the distribution of the magnetic energy across the spherical harmonic modes.

description: Hubble Space Telescope images of 3CR radio galaxies at redshifts 0.6 < z < 1.8 have shown a remarkable variety of structures, generally aligned along the radio axis, indicating that the radio source strongly influences the optical appearance of these galaxies. In this paper we investigate the host galaxies underlying this aligned emission, combining the HST data with ground-based infrared images. An investigation of the spectral energy distributions of the galaxies shows that the contribution of the aligned blue component to the K--band light is generally small (about 10%). The radial intensity profiles of the galaxies are well matched at radii ~15% of the total K--band flux density, except in two cases, 3C22 and 3C41. Large characteristic radii are derived, indicating that the 3CR galaxies must be highly evolved dynamically, even at a redshift of one. At radii > 35 kpc, a combined galaxy profile clearly shows an excess of emission reminiscent of cD--type halos. This supports other independent evidence for the hypothesis that the distant 3CR galaxies lie in moderately rich (proto--)clusters. Since the nearby FR II galaxies in the 3CR catalogue lie in more diffuse environments and do not possess cD halos, the galactic environments of the 3CR galaxies must change with redshift. The K-z relation of the 3CR galaxies cannot, therefore, be interpreted using a standard `closed-box, passive stellar evolution' model. We offer a new interpretation, and compare the model with the K-z relations of lower power radio galaxies and brightest cluster galaxies. (abridged)

description: In this work we investigate the effect of an external magnetic field B on the shape of flux tubes in QCD by means of lattice simulations, performed with N_f=2+1 flavors of stout improved dynamical staggered quarks with physical masses. After having discussed some difficulties in the practical definition of the flux tube at B=0, we show that these ambiguities do not affect the determination of the flux tube modifications induced by the magnetic field. Different results are obtained depending on the relative orientations of the flux tube and of the magnetic field: they confirm that the magnetic field acts as transverse confinement catalyser and longitudinal confinement inhibitor; moreover, the flux tube itself loses its axial symmetry when it is not directed along the magnetic background.

OPTIMIZING RHINOPLASTY RESULTS: UTILIZING AUTOGENOUS COSTAL CARTILAGE AND SILICONE AUGMENTATION

description: Facial beauty is profoundly influenced by the aesthetic appeal of the nose. The ever-evolving modern society places increasing emphasis on facial aesthetics, resulting in a surge of individuals seeking nose plastic surgery each year. Many patients in cosmetic clinics aspire to enhance their facial contours and symmetry through rhinoplasty. Rhinoplasty predominantly involves the utilization of various filling materials to modify the nasal structure. These materials can be broadly categorized into autologous and allogeneic substances.

Autologous materials primarily encompass one's own soft tissue, notably rib cartilage, known for its high safety profile, ample supply, low absorption rate, and robust support. Allogeneic materials, on the other hand, predominantly consist of silicone gel substances. These materials have extensive applications in both cosmetic and plastic surgery, including rhinoplasty and breast augmentation.

Historically, clinical practice predominantly employed single materials for rhinoplasty. However, recent research suggests that the combination of diverse materials can yield superior cosmetic outcomes, harnessing synergistic effects that enhance patient satisfaction. This study aims to assess the clinical applicability of various surgical methods through a comparative evaluation of 84 patients who underwent nose cosmetic and plastic repair between January 2022 and January 2023.

Influence of nucleonic motion in Relativistic Fermi Gas inclusive responses

description: Impulsive hadronic descriptions of electroweak processes in nuclei involve two distinctly different elements: one stems from the nuclear many-body physics --- the medium --- which is rather similar for the various inclusive response functions, and the other embodies the responses of the hadrons themselves to the electroweak probe and varies with the channel selected. In this letter we investigate within the context of the relativistic Fermi gas in both the quasi-elastic and $N\toΔ$ regimes the interplay between these two elements. Specifically, we focus on expansions in the one small parameter in the problem, namely, the momentum of a nucleon in the initial wave function compared with the hadronic scale, the nucleon mass. Both parity-conserving and -violating inclusive responses are studied and the interplay between longitudinal ($L$) and transverse ($T$ and $T'$) contributions is highlighted.

Pseudo Jahn-Teller Effect and Magnetoelastic Coupling in Spin-Orbit Mott Insulators

description: The consequences of the Jahn-Teller (JT) orbital-lattice coupling for magnetism of pseudospin J_{eff}=1/2 and J_{eff}=0 compounds are addressed. In the former case, represented by Sr_2IrO_4, this coupling generates, through the so-called pseudo-JT effect, orthorhombic deformations of a crystal concomitant with magnetic ordering. The orthorhombicity axis is tied to the magnetization and rotates with it under magnetic field. The theory resolves a number of puzzles in Sr_2IrO_4 such as the origin of in-plane magnetic anisotropy and magnon gaps, metamagnetic transition, etc. In J_{eff}=0 systems, the pseudo-JT effect leads to spin-nematic transition well above magnetic ordering, which may explain the origin of `orbital order' in Ca_2RuO_4

description: The results of experiments at hadron colliders probing the structure of the pomeron through hard diffraction are reviewed. Some results on deep inelastic diffractive scattering obtained at HERA are also discussed and placed in perspective. By using a properly normalized pomeron flux factor in single diffraction dissociation, as dictated by unitarity, the pomeron emerges as a combination of valence quark and gluon color singlets in a ratio suggested by asymptopia.

Transport on flexible Rydberg aggregates using circular states

description: Assemblies of interacting Rydberg atoms show promise for the quantum simulation of transport phenomena, quantum chemistry and condensed matter systems. Such schemes are typically limited by the finite lifetime of Rydberg states. Circular Rydberg states have the longest lifetimes among Rydberg states but lack the energetic isolation in the spectrum characteristic of low angular momentum states. The latter is required to obtain simple transport models with few electronic states per atom. Simple models can however even be realized with circular states, by exploiting dipole-dipole selection rules or external fields. We show here that this approach can be particularly fruitful for scenarios where quantum transport is coupled to atomic motion, in adiabatic excitation transport or quantum simulations of electron-phonon coupling in light harvesting. Additionally, we explore practical limitations of flexible Rydberg aggregates with circular states and to which extent interactions among circular Rydberg atoms can be described using classical models.
