description: The properties of two local reference frames based on the magnetic field and the current density are investigated for magnetized plasmas in toroidal geometry with symmetric angle. The magnetic field-based local frame of reference has been well-studied for example by Dewar and colleagues [Phys. Fluids 27, 1723 (1984)] An analogous frame based on the current density vector is possible because it is also divergence free and perpendicular to the gradient of the poloidal flux. The concept of straightness of a vector is introduced and used to elucidate the Boozer and Hamada coordinate systems. The relationship of these local frames to the more well-known Frenet frame of reference, which specifies a curve in terms of curvature and torsion, is given. As an example of the usefulness of the these formal relationships, we briefly review the ideal MHD theory and their use. We also present a new annihilation operator, useful for eliminating shorter time scales than the time scale of interest, for deriving the inner layer equations of Glasser, Greene, and Johnson [Phys. Fluids 18, 875 (1975)]. Compared to the original derivation that is based on the local frame of reference in terms of the magnetic field, the new annihilation operator that is based on the local frame of reference in terms of the current density simplifies the derivation.

description: Future projection of diffusion conditions associated with extreme haze events over eastern China is of great importance to government emission regulations and public human health. Here, the diffusion conditions and their changes under future warming scenarios are examined. The relative strength of haze events in the Northern China Plain region increase from 150% during 2006–15 to 190% during 2090–99 under RCP8.5 scenarios, induced by a stronger and longer-lasting anticyclone anomaly in eastern China. The strengthened anticyclone anomaly is mainly induced by increased northern wave train convergence emanating from the Barents–Kara Sea, and the longer duration of the anticyclone anomaly is mainly induced by stronger local feedback that can extract more energy from the basic state to maintain the anticyclone anomaly in eastern China. Aerosol reduction is found to play a dominant role in strengthening the upstream wave train near the Barents–Kara Sea and the downstream anticyclone in eastern China, while the effects from increased greenhouse gases are small. The results of this study indicate that future aerosol emissions reduction can induce deteriorating diffusion conditions, suggesting more stringent regulations on aerosol emissions in China are needed to meet air quality standards.

description: We explore possibilities of collapse and star formation in Population III objects exposed to the external ultraviolet background (UVB) radiation. Assuming spherical symmetry, we solve self-consistently radiative transfer of photons, non-equilibrium H2 chemistry, and gas hydrodynamics. Although the UVB does suppress the formation of low mass objects, the negative feedback turns out to be weaker than previously suggested. In particular, the cut-off scale of collapse drops significantly below the virial temperature 10^4 K at weak UV intensities, due to both self-shielding of the gas and H2 cooling. Clouds above this cut-off tend to contract highly dynamically, further promoting self-shielding and H2 formation. For plausible radiation intensities and spectra, the collapsing gas can cool efficiently to temperatures well below 10^4 K before rotationally supported and the final H2 fraction reaches 10^{-3}. Our results imply that star formation can take place in low mass objects collapsing in the UVB. The threshold baryon mass for star formation is \sim 10^9 solar mass for clouds collapsing at redshifts z \simlt 3, but drops significantly at higher redshifts. In a conventional cold dark matter universe, the latter coincides roughly with that of the 1 σdensity fluctuations. Objects near and above this threshold can thus constitute `building blocks' of luminous structures, and we discuss their links to dwarf spheroidal/elliptical galaxies and faint blue objects. These results suggest that the UVB can play a key role in regulating the star formation history of the Universe.

Cross sections at sub-Coulomb energies: full optical model vs.\ barrier transmission for $^{40}$Ca + $α$

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Cross sections for $^{40}$Ca + $α$ at low energies have been calculated from two different models and three different $α$-nucleus potentials. The first model determines the cross sections from the barrier transmission in a real nuclear potential. Second, cross sections are derived within the optical model using a complex nuclear potential. The excitation functions from barrier transmission are smooth whereas the excitation functions from the optical model show a significant sensitivity to the chosen imaginary potential. Cross sections far below the Coulomb barrier are lower from barrier transmission than from the optical model. This difference is explained by additional absorption in the tail of the imaginary part of the potential in the optical model. At higher energies the calculations from the two models and all $α$-nucleus potentials converge. Finally, in contradiction to another recent study where a double-folding potential failed in a WKB calculation, the applicability of double-folding potentials for $^{40}$Ca + $α$ at low energies is clearly confirmed in the present analysis for the simple barrier transmission model and for the full optical model calculation.

description: Renovated protocols for the synthesis and modification of sub-1 µm porous particles originating from silica monolith coupled with sophisticated packing procedures have made it possible to get excellent separation efficiency and the possibility for rapid analysis when dealing with five benzene derivatives in high-performance liquid chromatography. The catalyst-assisted binding of 4-chloromethylphenyl-isocynate and consequent reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization enabled the attachment of uniform polymer film onto the silica particles. The column (1.0 mm ID × 300 mm length) packed with such particles resulted in supreme separation efficiency (256,200 plates/m) which is comparable to the separation efficiency of column packed with core shell particles. The optimum separation was obtained in 65/35 (v/v %) acetonitrile/water with 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid at a flow rate of 28 µL/min. Particle size reduction with increased pore size along with sophisticated packing protocol, partial monolithic architecture of the packed bed, and uniformly distributed polymer film are the beneficial features responsible for the improved chromatographic performance of the final stationary phase.

description: The 2014-2015 prediction, discovery, and confirmation of record high temperature superconductivity above 200K in H$_3$S, followed by the 2018 extension to superconductivity in the 250-280K range in lanthanum hydride, marks a new era in the longstanding quest for room temperature superconductivity: quest achieved, at the cost of supplying 1.5-2 megabars of pressure. Predictions of numerous high temperature superconducting metal hydrides $XH_n$ ($X$=metal) have appeared, but are providing limited understanding of what drives the high transition temperature T$_c$, or what limits T$_c$. We apply an opportunistic atomic decomposition of the coupling function to show, first, that the $X$ atom provides coupling strength as commonly calculated, but is it irrelevant for superconductivity; in fact, it is important for analysis that its contribution is neglected. Five $X$H$_n$ compounds, predicted to have T$_c$ in the 150-300K range, are analyzed consistently for their relevant properties, revealing some aspects that confront conventional wisdom. A phonon frequency -- critical temperature ($ω_2$-T$_c$) phase diagram is obtained that reveals a common phase instability limiting T$_c$ at the {\it low pressure} range of each compound. The hydrogen scattering strength is identified and found to differ strongly over the hydrides. A quantity directly proportional to T$_c$ in these hydrides is identified.
Adaptive Mollifiers for High Resolution Recovery of Piecewise Smooth Data from its Spectral Information

description: We discuss the reconstruction of piecewise smooth data from its (pseudo-) spectral information. Spectral projections enjoy superior resolution provided the data is globally smooth, while the presence of jump discontinuities is responsible for spurious ${\cal O}(1)$ Gibbs oscillations in the neighborhood of edges and an overall deterioration to the unacceptable first-order convergence rate. The purpose is to regain the superior accuracy in the piecewise smooth case, and this is achieved by mollification. Here we utilize a modified version of the two-parameter family of spectral mollifiers introduced by Gottlieb & Tadmor [GoTa85]. The ubiquitous one-parameter, finite-order mollifiers are based on dilation. In contrast, our mollifiers achieve their high resolution by an intricate process of high-order cancelation. To this end, we first implement a localization step using edge detection procedure, [GeTa00a, GeTa00b]. The accurate recovery of piecewise smooth data is then carried out in the direction of smoothness away from the edges, and adaptivity is responsible for the high resolution. The resulting adaptive mollifier greatly accelerates the convergence rate, recovering piecewise analytic data within exponential accuracy while removing spurious oscillations that remained in [GoTa85]. Thus, these adaptive mollifiers offer a robust, general-purpose ``black box'' procedure for accurate post processing of piecewise smooth data.

The co-orbital corotation torque in a viscous disk: numerical simulations

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The torque felt by a non-accreting protoplanet on a circular orbit embedded in a uniform surface density protoplanetary disk is analyzed by means of time-dependent numerical simulations. Varying the viscosity enables one to disentangle the Lindblad torque (which is independent of viscosity) from the corotation torque, which saturates at low viscosity and is unsaturated at high viscosity. The dependence of the corotation torque upon the viscosity and upon the width of the librating zone is compared with previous analytical expressions, and shown to be in agreement with those. The effect of the potential smoothing respectively on the Lindblad torque and on the corotation torque is investigated, and the question of whether 3D effects and their impact on the total torque sign and magnitude can be modeled by an adequate smoothing prescription in a 2D simulation is addressed. As a side result, this study shows that the total torque acting on a Neptune-sized protoplanet is positive in a sufficiently thin, viscous disk (H/r < 4%, α> 10^-2), but the inward migration time of smaller bodies is still very short, making it unlikely that they reach the torque reversal mass before having migrated all the way to the central object.

description: Current quantum noise can be pictured as a sum over transitions through which the electronic system exchanges energy with its environment. We formulate this picture and use it to show which type of current correlators are measurable, and in what measurement the zero point fluctuations will play a role (the answer to the latter is as expected: only if the detector excites the system.) Using the above picture, we calculate and give physical interpretation of the finite-frequency finite-temperature current noise in a noninteracting Landauer-type system, where the chemical potentials of terminals 1 and 2 are $μ+eV/2$ and $μ-eV/2$ respectively, and derive a detailed-balance condition for this nonequilibrium system. Finally, we derive a generalized form of the Kubo formula for a wide class of interacting nonequilibrium systems, relating the differential conductivity to the current noise.

description: Ethiopia is an agrarian society in a land of drought and floods. Agricultural production, which is the source of livelihood for eight out of ten Ethiopians, is extremely vulnerable to climatic conditions. The causes of rural poverty are many including wide fluctuations in agricultural production as a result of drought, ineffective and inefficient agricultural marketing system, under developed transport and communication networks, underdeveloped production technologies, limited access of rural households to support services, environmental degradation and lack of participation by rural poor people in decisions that affect their livelihoods. However, the persistent fluctuation in the amount and distribution of rainfall is considered as a major factor in rural poverty. Cognizant of this reality the successive Ethiopian governments and farmers have made investments in small scale irrigation schemes. This paper aims to assess the efficacy of these investments in reducing poverty based on data obtained from a survey of 1024 farmers drawn from four major regional states of Ethiopia. The Foster, Greer and Thorbecke poverty measures were used to compare the incidence, depth and severity of poverty among groups of farmers defined by relevant policy variables including access to irrigation. In order to explore the correlates of rural poverty and their quantitative significance, logistic regression model was estimated. The main conclusion of the study is that the incidence, depth and severity of poverty is affected more by the intensity of irrigation use (as measured by the size of irrigated area) than mere access to irrigation. Alternatively, there seems to be an economy of scale in the poverty irrigation relationship.

description: Recently, there has been very little irrigation development in sub-Saharan Africa. The main reasons cited for this lack of interest in developing irrigation in sub-Saharan Africa is that irrigation projects are expensive and perform poorly compared to projects from other regions. However, when classified into success and failure projects, the sub-Saharan Africa success projects’ investment costs are not significantly higher than from other regions. African countries like Ethiopia, which has embarked on an agricultural led development program, aspire to use irrigation as a development strategy with small scale irrigation playing a key role in rural development. This study evaluates the financial performance of small scale irrigation using O & M and investment recovery, and the ability to replicate the investments. It is concluded that the systems are financially viable and provide a low cost development option for rural areas.

description: Using a cosmological galactic evolutionary approach to model the Milky Way, we calculate the star formation history (SFH) of the solar neighborhood. The good agreement we obtain with the observational inferences suggests that our physical model describes accurately the long term/large spatial trends of the local and global Milky Way SFH. In this model, star formation is triggered by disk gravitational instabilities and self-regulated by an energy balance in the ISM. The drivers of the SFH are the cosmological gas infall rate and the gas surface density determined by the primordial spin parameter. A LambdaCDM cosmology was used throughout.

description: Millimeter-wave and Terahertz frequencies, while promising high throughput and abundant spectrum, are highly susceptible to hardware non-idealities like phase-noise, which degrade the system performance and make transceiver implementation difficult. While several phase-noise compensation techniques have been proposed, there are limited results on the post-compensation system performance. Consequently, in this paper, a generalized reference-signal (RS) aided low-complexity phase-noise compensation technique is proposed for high-frequency, multi-carrier systems. The technique generalizes several existing solutions and involves an RS that is transmitted in each symbol, occupies adjacent sub-carriers, and is separated from the data by null sub-carriers. A detailed theoretical analysis of the post-phase-noise compensation performance is presented for an analog beamforming receiver under an arbitrary phase-noise model. Using this analysis, the performance-impact of several system parameters is examined and the throughput-optimal designs for the RS sequence, RS bandwidth, power allocation, number of null sub-carriers, and the number of estimated phase-noise spectral components are also derived. Simulations performed under 3GPP compliant settings suggest that the proposed scheme is robust to phase-noise modeling errors and can, with the optimized parameters, achieve better performance than several existing solutions.

description: The agricultural sector in Serbia has been institutionally, organizationally and in domain of resources highly neglected, which is the fact making an extensive influence on both weakening and detriment of comparative advantage Serbia used to have as compared to the other countries of the Region. The thorough re-modeling of an agrarian company ownership, institutional, organizational and technical structure is the way of revitalization of the sector. Research for any solutions beyond this scenario, as well as reduction of these to a bare and extemporaneous privatization, would be un-appropriate solution without any prospects for both agrarian companies and their employees. In regard to that, the new European initiatives make a valuable experience.

description: Taking an extratropical cyclone that produced extreme precipitation as the research object, this paper calculates the contribution of condensation latent heat release (LHR) to relative vorticity tendency based on the complete-form vertical vorticity tendency equation. The results show that the heating rate of convectional condensation LHR can reach up to about 40 times that of stable condensation LHR. Both the stable and convectional heating centers are higher than 700 hPa, which would cause ∂Q/∂z > 0 and a positive vorticity source in the lower troposphere. The vertical gradient of stable condensation LHR contributes little to the growth of relative vorticity, while the relative vorticity tendency associated with the vertical gradient of convectional condensation LHR can be an order of magnitude higher than the former. The positive vorticity source is always located right below the latent heating center, and its maximum value can always be found in the lower troposphere. Convectional LHR is the primary factor for cyclone development from the perspective of diabatic heating. The horizontal gradient of total condensation LHR can contribute about 65% of the actual vorticity growth, but the effect of the vertical gradient of convectional condensation (LHR) can reach twice as much. The adiabatic heating from LHR can cause vorticity tendency directly. However, it can also change the vertical and horizontal gradient of potential temperature, which can further induce vorticity tendency.

description: Main precondition for a country to achieve economic growth is to be included in integration processes. It is no longer question is it or is it not necessary to have global/regional connections, but how to make existing relations more efficient, fair and useful for all participants. EU is an example how, in relatively short period, good environment for economic growth and increase of democratic standards in new country members can be created. Outspreading of EU tension between developed West and undeveloped East Europe are diminished. EU gives good example for others in different areas. Serbian economy during 1990’s was characterised by low investment, technicaltechnological lag and stagnation of growth. Today’s GDP of Republic of Serbia is 65% of GDP from 1990. However, new EU members have already compensation transitional falls and readjust their structure of economy to EU demands. Decreasing and stagnation of GDP in Republic of Serbia on the beginning of transitional process were stopped after 2000 and returned to stable and dynamic trends of growth. However, Republic of Serbia needs to perform significant changes in economic structure and to maintain on long term high growth rate, reduce inflation and unemployment. That will contribute to further growth of GDP per capita and bring Serbia closer to level of development of other EU countries.

description: Organic agriculture is based on application of assigned methods of organic production. It gains more significance, because it brings a man closer to nature, from which he parted, it represents almost full harmony with environment preservation demands, and finally, it enables the population to feed on the products based on the natural processes, using organic and mineral materials. Products based on organic production are increasingly sought, especially in highly developed states. Their placement is certain, because the demand highly surpasses the supply. For that reason they get better prices than the conventional production goods. Republic of Serbia has very good conditions for founding this kind of production. The environment is preserved, especially in mountainous areas, which take 71,5% of Central part of the Republic (51,7% of whole Republic). Artificial fertilizers are much less used in these areas, as is agro-mechanization, which pollutes the environment. Most of these areas have high quality water, clean air and are far from the roads and other sources of environment pollution. Organic production is processing by very high criteria, regulated by special decrees. Same goes for the environment preservation decrees. These decrees exist in Serbia as well, and are well coordinated with European Union legislation. This paperwork reviews the state of environment, organic production and regulatory rules in these two parts of Republic of Serbia.

description: Wave setup was investigated using data from tide gauges in a small harbour at the island of Tristan da Cunha in the South Atlantic Ocean. Frequent examples of wave setup were found during the period 1986–1992, but were much less apparent after 1992, following extensions to the two breakwater arms of the harbour. The unambiguous association of wave setup with the several-decimetre spikes in Tristan sea level, which can persist for a day or so, are a warning that signals related to wave setup could also occur in other tide gauge records, where the wave setup signal could perhaps be misinterpreted as wind setup within the overall storm surge. One conclusion is that, in spite of the difficulties of access to Tristan da Cunha and its ever-present hostile wave climate, the island is undoubtedly now worthy of a permanent tide-gauge installation, which would be an important contribution to the global sea-level network.

description: The prediction of the particle number concentration and liquid/ice water content of cloud is significant for many aspects of atmospheric science. However, given the uncertainties in the initial and boundary conditions and imperfections of microphysical schemes, the accurate prediction of these microphysical properties of cloud is still a big challenge. The ensemble approach may be a viable way to reduce forecast uncertainties. In this paper, a large-scale stratiform cloud precipitation process is studied by comparing results of a 10-member ensemble forecast model with aircraft observation data. By means of the ensemble average, the prediction of bulk parameters such as liquid water content and ice water content can be improved in comparison with the control member, but the particle number concentrations are still one to two orders of magnitude less than those from observations. Intercomparison of raindrop size spectra reveals a big distinction between observations and predictions for particles with a diameter less than 1000 μm.

Pütz / HOLOTYPE (red), ♂, Syndicus sichuanicus sp. n., det. Yin & Zhou, 2016’ (cPüt). Paratype: 1 ♀: same data, except for ‘leg. M. Schülke / PARATYPE (yellow), ♀ ’ (cSch).
 Diagnosis. Male. Length 3.02–3.05 mm; antennomere II distinctly shorter than III; pronotal disc coarsely punctate; aedeagus relatively slender, parameres much longer than median lobe. Female: spermatheca nearly oval, slightly elongate.
 Description. See Jałoszyński (2008, as S. sinensis), with illustrations of habitus and aedeagus.
 Comparative Notes. Both specimens examined here, previously published as S. sinensis (Jałoszyński 2008), have a coarsely punctate pronotal disc (Fig. 5D) and relatively shorter antennomere II (Fig. 5F) in comparison to antennomere III. The male (Fig. 5B) has a slender aedeagus (Jałoszyński 2008: figs 2–3), and the female has an oval, slightly elongate spermatheca. This new species is similar to S. sinensis by sharing similar body shape, proportions of the body parts, structure of the aedeagal endophallus, and shape of the spermatheca, but can be readily separated by the characters listed in the diagnosis section.
 Distribution. China: Sichuan.
 Etymology. The new species is named after the Sichuan Province where the type locality is situated.

description: During the summer monsoon season, the authors observe a wave train that stretches from the northern Arabian Peninsula and Caspian Sea to the Indo-Gangetic plains along the foothills of the Himalaya and extending further east of the Tibetan Plateau. The trend analysis between 1979 and 2018 with NCEP–NCAR reanalysis data show that the diabatic heating flux (averaged over 1000 to 500 hPa) tends to decrease significantly over the Caspian Sea and its surrounding regions. In addition, the sea level pressure is increasing by ~0.1 hPa yr−1 over the Caspian Sea, forming a high-pressure divergent center over there. The divergent center is collocated with an anticyclonic circulation trend at 850 hPa over the Caspian Sea. This decreasing diabatic heating flux modulates the local atmospheric circulation by increasing the surface pressure around the center of divergence, which further facilitates a wave train to propagate towards South and East Asia. This wave train transports the moisture fluxes at 925 hPa from the Caspian Sea, southeastward towards the South and East Asian monsoon region.
