High order numerical methods for networks of hyperbolic conservation laws coupled with ODEs and lumped parameter models
Creators: name: Borsche, Raul

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: In this paper we construct high order finite volume schemes on networks of hyperbolic conservation laws with coupling conditions involving ODEs. We consider two generalized Riemann solvers at the junction, one of Toro-Castro type and a solver of Harten, Enquist, Osher, Chakravarthy type. The ODE is treated with a Taylor method or an explicit Runge-Kutta scheme, respectively. Both resulting high order methods conserve quantities exactly if the conservation is part of the coupling conditions. Furthermore we present a technique to incorporate lumped parameter models, which arise from simplifying parts of a network. The high order convergence and the robust capturing of shocks is investigated numerically in several test cases.

description: Excerpt: Rapid progress in the application of airphoto analysis to assist in carrying out land utilization research has taken place in recent years. Use of airphoto interpretation to aid in the solution of the basic data problem was started in 1955 in the Farm Economics Division, Economic Research Service, U. S. Department of Agriculture. Since that time use of airphoto analysis has increased in the number of subject matter fields to which it has been applied and also in the development of methods to solve various types of problems. The purpose of this paper will be to review the problem, discuss briefly the subject matter fields, and describe the methods developed. Some of the material covered has been described in detail in separate papers over a period of time but it is hoped that this summary may be useful to those considering use of airphoto analysis in land utilization problems in Asia and the Far East.

description: Supernova "Refsdal," multiply imaged by cluster MACSJ1149.5+2223, represents a rare opportunity to make a true blind test of model predictions in extragalactic astronomy, on a time scale that is short compared to a human lifetime. In order to take advantage of this event, we produced seven gravitational lens models with five independent methods, based on Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Hubble Frontier Field images, along with extensive spectroscopic follow-up observations by HST, the Very Large and the Keck Telescopes. We compare the model predictions and show that they agree reasonably well with the measured time delays and magnification ratios between the known images, even though these quantities were not used as input. This agreement is encouraging, considering that the models only provide statistical uncertainties, and do not include additional sources of uncertainties such as structure along the line of sight, cosmology, and the mass sheet degeneracy. We then present the model predictions for the other appearances of SN "Refsdal." A future image will reach its peak in the first half of 2016, while another image appeared between 1994 and 2004. The past image would have been too faint to be detected in existing archival images. The future image should be approximately one third as bright as the brightest known image (i.e., H_AB~25.7 mag at peak and H_AB~26.7 mag six months before peak), and thus detectable in single-orbit HST images. We will find out soon whether our predictions are correct.

description: A propensity score (PS) model's ability to control confounding can be assessed by evaluating covariate balance across exposure groups after PS adjustment. The optimal strategy for evaluating a disease risk score (DRS) model's ability to control confounding is less clear. DRS models cannot be evaluated through balance checks within the full population, and they are usually assessed through prediction diagnostics and goodness-of-fit tests. A proposed alternative is the "dry-run" analysis, which divides the unexposed population into "pseudo-exposed" and "pseudo-unexposed" groups so that differences on observed covariates resemble differences between the actual exposed and unexposed populations. With no exposure effect separating the pseudo-exposed and pseudo-unexposed groups, a DRS model is evaluated by its ability to retrieve an unconfounded null estimate after adjustment in this pseudo-population. We used simulations and an empirical example to compare traditional DRS performance metrics with the dry-run validation. In simulations, the dry run often improved assessment of confounding control, compared with the C statistic and goodness-of-fit tests. In the empirical example, PS and DRS matching gave similar results and showed good performance in terms of covariate balance (PS matching) and controlling confounding in the dry-run analysis (DRS matching). The dry-run analysis may prove useful in evaluating confounding control through DRS models.
Non-selective evolution of growing populations

description: Non-selective effects, like genetic drift, are an important factor in modern conceptions of evolution, and have been extensively studied for constant population sizes. Here, we consider non-selective evolution in the case of growing populations that are of small size and have varying trait compositions (e.g. after a population bottleneck). We find that, in these conditions, populations never fixate to a trait, but tend to a random limit composition, and that the distribution of compositions 'freezes' to a steady state This final state is crucially influenced by the initial conditions. We obtain these findings from a combined theoretical and experimental approach, using multiple mixed subpopulations of two Pseudomonas putida strains in non-selective growth conditions as model system. The experimental results for the population dynamics match the theoretical predictions based on the Pólya urn model for all analyzed parameter regimes. In summary, we show that exponential growth stops genetic drift. This result contrasts with previous theoretical analyses of non-selective evolution (e.g. genetic drift), which investigated how traits spread and eventually take over populations (fixate). Moreover, our work highlights how deeply growth influences non-selective evolution, and how it plays a key role in maintaining genetic variability. Consequently, it is of particular importance in life-cycles models of periodically shrinking and expanding populations.

description: The added value of incorporating information from repeated blood pressure and cholesterol measurements to predict cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk has not been rigorously assessed. We used data on 191,445 adults from the Emerging Risk Factors Collaboration (38 cohorts from 17 countries with data encompassing 1962-2014) with more than 1 million measurements of systolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Over a median 12 years of follow-up, 21,170 CVD events occurred. Risk prediction models using cumulative mean values of repeated measurements and summary measures from longitudinal modeling of the repeated measurements were compared with models using measurements from a single time point. Risk discrimination (C-index) and net reclassification were calculated, and changes in C-indices were meta-analyzed across studies. Compared with the single-time-point model, the cumulative means and longitudinal models increased the C-index by 0.0040 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.0023, 0.0057) and 0.0023 (95% CI: 0.0005, 0.0042), respectively. Reclassification was also improved in both models; compared with the single-time-point model, overall net reclassification improvements were 0.0369 (95% CI: 0.0303, 0.0436) for the cumulative-means model and 0.0177 (95% CI: 0.0110, 0.0243) for the longitudinal model. In conclusion, incorporating repeated measurements of blood pressure and cholesterol into CVD risk prediction models slightly improves risk prediction.

description: Reverberation mapping (RM) measurements of broad-line region (BLR) lags in z>0.3 quasars are important for directly measuring black hole masses in these distant objects, but so far there have been limited attempts and success given the practical difficulties of RM in this regime. Here we report preliminary results of 15 BLR lag measurements from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Reverberation Mapping (SDSS-RM) project, a dedicated RM program with multi-object spectroscopy designed for RM over a wide redshift range. The lags are based on the 2014 spectroscopic light curves alone (32 epochs over 6 months) and focus on the Hbeta and MgII broad lines in the 100 lowest-redshift (z<0.8) quasars included in SDSS-RM; they represent a small subset of the lags that SDSS-RM (including 849 quasars to z~4.5) is expected to deliver. The reported preliminary lag measurements are for intermediate-luminosity quasars at 0.30.3 is not yet possible due to the limitations in our current sample. Our results demonstrate the general feasibility and potential of multi-object RM for z>0.3 quasars.

description: Excerpts: Traditional attitudes about land use decision-making are undergoing great change. A number of States have taken action to control critical areas of more than local concern such as coastal zones, shorelines, wetlands, and flood plains. Some States plan and regulate land uses, such as siting of transmission lines, power plants, waste disposal, and others. The Federal Government has encouraged States to take an active role in land use planning, and legislation that would support them in this role has been introduced in the Congress. I will summarize recent legislation that bears directly on States' role in land use planning, describe resource information requirements for State land use planning, and discuss resource data and analytic services of the Federal Government that will be of use to States in land use planning. I will close with some remarks about the role of agricultural economists in State land use planning.

description: We propose a quantum sensing scheme for measuring weak forces based on a symmetry-breaking adiabatic transition in the quantum Rabi model. We show that the system described by the Rabi Hamiltonian can serve as a sensor for extremely weak forces with sensitivity beyond the yN $/\sqrt{\text{Hz}}$ range. We propose an implementation of this sensing protocol using a single trapped ion. A major advantage of our scheme is that the force detection is performed by projective measurement of the population of the spin states at the end of the transition, instead of the far slower phonon number measurement used hitherto.

Obstacle Detection using Wave Scattering with a T-Matrix Model and Bayesian Inference
Creators: name: Fernandes, Matthew J.
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2023
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: We consider the inverse problem of determining the locations of one or more scatterers with known geometries and boundary properties. We assume noisy far-field data for a known incident wave and we use Bayesian inference, where the outcome is a posterior probability distribution for the possible locations. In practice, to obtain the posterior requires the simulation of scattering for a significant number of multiple scattering configurations. We achieve this in feasible time using a wave-scattering native reduced order model based on the T-matrix. The T-matrix of a scatterer for acoustic wave scattering was first developed by Waterman [Waterman, P. C. (1969). “New Formulation of Acoustic Scattering”, J. Acou. Soc. of Amer. 45, 6, 1417-1429]. It fully describes a scatterer’s wave scattering properties. Wave solutions of the Helmholtz equation are expressible as series expansions and the coefficients of any incident wave, and its associated scattered wave are connected by the T-matrix. This characterization is particularly efficient in problems of one or more scatterers that require changes in orientation and/or translations with respect to the incident wave. For this application we developed a high-performance C++ implementation of the TMATROM3 package [Ganesh, M. and Hawkins, S.C. (2022). “A numerically stable T-matrix method for acoustic scattering by nonspherical particles with large aspect ratios and size parameters”, J. Acou. Soc. of Amer. 151, 3, 1978-1988] that provides a flexible and fast platform for multiple scattering simulations.

description: Rationale. Although recreational and medicinal cannabis users regularly report improvements across a range of psychological and physical symptoms, a growing empirical corpus supports the supposition that long-term users experience worse pain outcomes compared to non-users. In one seminal study (Jefferson et al., 2013), heavy cannabis users (i) required more rescue analgesics versus non-users following orthopedic operations and (ii) reported greater pain intensities. In a more recent study (Sturgeon et al., 2020), a retrospective assessment of pain clinic intake data revealed greater pain-related interference among users. When taken together, these (and other) studies point toward two possible, and not necessarily mutually exclusive, frameworks for understanding cannabinoid analgesia. Specifically, worse pain outcomes among users may represent a cause, consequence, or both, of long-term cannabis users (i.e., the cause-consequence controversy (Khantzian, 1997). Therefore, the objectives for this prospective review are to (i) provide a novel, qualitative synthesis of human pain studies involving comparisons between-group comparisons cannabis users and cannabis non-users, (ii) discuss support for competing perspectives regarding associations between long-term cannabis and pain, and (iii) highlight the need for more rigorous investigation into cannabis’s long-term effects despite decades of empirical evidence regarding short-term (acute administration studies) and moderate-term (clinical trials) effects.

Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)

description: Stars are not smooth. Their photosphere is covered by a granulation pattern associated with the heat transport by convection. The convection-related surface structures have different size, depth, and temporal variations with respect to the stellar type. The related activity (in addition to other phenomena such as magnetic spots, rotation, dust, etc.) potentially causes bias in stellar parameters determination, radial velocity, chemical abundances determinations, and exoplanet transit detections. The role of long-baseline interferometric observations in this astrophysical context is crucial to characterize the stellar surface dynamics and correct the potential biases. In this Chapter, we present how the granulation pattern is expected for different kind of stellar types ranging from main sequence to extremely evolved stars of different masses and how interferometric techniques help to study their photospheric dynamics.

description: In this paper, we used standard rulers and standard candles (separately and jointly) to explore five popular dark energy models under assumption of spatial flatness of the Universe. As standard rulers, we used a data set comprising 118 galactic-scale strong lensing systems (individual standard rulers if properly calibrated for the mass density profile) combined with BAO diagnostics (statistical standard ruler). Supernovae Ia served asstandard candles. Unlike in the most of previous statistical studies involving strong lensing systems, we relaxed the assumption of singular isothermal sphere (SIS) in favor of its generalization: the power-law mass density profile. Therefore, along with cosmological model parameters we fitted the power law index and its first derivative with respect to the redshift (thus allowing for mass density profile evolution). It turned out that the best fitted $γ$ parameters are in agreement with each other irrespective of the cosmological model considered. This demonstrates that galactic strong lensing systems may provide a complementary probe to test the properties of dark energy. Fits for cosmological model parameters which we obtained are in agreement with alternative studies performed by the others. Because standard rulers and standard candles have different parameter degeneracies, combination of standard rulers and standard candles gives much more restrictive results for cosmological parameters. At last, we attempted at model selection based on information theoretic criteria (AIC and BIC). Our results support the claim, that cosmological constant model is still the best one and there is no (at least statistical) reason to prefer any other more complex model.

description: A new approach to measure the second order correlation function $g^{(2)}$ and the coherence time was investigated. The $g^{(2)}$ was calculated from the photon pair time interval distribution by direct numerical self-convolution with the high order correction. The accuracy of this method was examined using an optical fiber based Hanbury-Brown-Twiss interferometer with a pseudo-thermal light source. We found that the significance of the high order correction is related to the factor $\bar{I}τ_{c}$, which is the overlapping of the photon wave packets. A novel technique was also demonstrated to measure the coherence time $τ_c$ of a light source using the random phase modulation. In comparison with the conventional self-heterodyne detection, this method is more suitable for a weak light source with a long coherence time.

description: Effective geometries arising from a hypothetical discrete structure of space-time can play an important role in the understanding of the gravitational physics beyond General Relativity. To discuss this question, we make use of lessons from crystalline systems within solid state physics, where the presence of defects in the discrete microstructure of the crystal determine the kind of effective geometry needed to properly describe the system in the macroscopic continuum limit. In this work we study metric-affine theories with non-metricity and torsion, which are the gravitational analog of crystalline structures with point defects and dislocations. We consider a crystal-motivated gravitational action and show the presence of topologically non-trivial structures (wormholes) supported by an electromagnetic field. Their existence has important implications for the quantum foam picture and the effective gravitational geometries. We discuss how the dialogue between solid state physics systems and modified gravitational theories can provide useful insights on both sides.

Radiative-transfer models for supernovae IIb/Ib/Ic from binary-star progenitors

description: We present 1-D non-Local-Thermodynamic-Equilibrium time-dependent radiative-transfer simulations for supernovae (SNe) of type IIb, Ib, and Ic that result from the terminal explosion of the mass donor in a close-binary system. Here, we select three ejecta with a total kinetic energy of ~1.2e51erg, but characterised by different ejecta masses (2-5Msun), composition, and chemical mixing. The type IIb/Ib models correspond to the progenitors that have retained their He-rich shell at the time of explosion. The type Ic model arises from a progenitor that has lost its helium shell, but retains 0.32Msun of helium in a CO-rich core of 5.11Msun. We discuss their photometric and spectroscopic properties during the first 2-3 months after explosion, and connect these to their progenitor and ejecta properties including chemical stratification. For these three models, Arnett's rule overestimates the 56Ni mass by ~50% while the procedure of Katz et al., based on an energy argument, yields a more reliable estimate. The presence of strong CI lines around 9000A prior to maximum is an indicator that the pre-SN star was under-abundant in helium. As noted by others, the 1.08micron feature is a complex blend of CI, MgII, and HeI lines, which makes the identification of He uncertain in SNe Ibc unless other HeI lines can be identified. Our models show little scatter in (V-R) colour 10d after R-band maximum. We also address a number of radiative transfer properties of SNe Ibc, including the notion of a photosphere, the inference of a representative ejecta expansion rate, spectrum formation, blackbody fits and "correction factors".
