GZ Cancri: a cataclysmic variable at the lower edge of the period gap
Creators: name: Tappert, C.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present calibrated photometry and time-resolved spectroscopy of the cataclysmic variable GZ Cnc. Radial velocities of the H-alpha emission line reveal an orbital period of 0.08825(28) d, or 2.118(07) h, placing the system at the lower edge of the period gap. One of our observations catches the system on the rise to an overlooked, possibly small-amplitude, outburst. At certain phases during this stage the profiles of the emission lines are distorted by a high velocity absorption component. We discuss this phenomenon in the context of the recent suggestion that the long-term lightcurve of GZ Cnc resembles those of intermediate polars.

description: The mix of public and private land ownership within the Adirondack Park often leads to conflict between development and conservation interests. We explore the effects of the Adirondack Park Agency’s classifications on property values through hedonic analysis while simultaneously controlling for environmental and recreational amenities. Results show that lands in the park classified for moderate-intensity use sell at a premium of up to 7 percent while lands in more restrictive classes are discounted. There is also evidence that decreasing the impact of humans by one unit increases property values by approximately 2 percent.

description: BackgroundDRESS is a cutaneous and systemic drug allergy disorder. Patients exist on a severity spectrum with some developing a mild form of the disorder which fails to meet the RegiSCAR diagnostic criteria for DRESS.ObjectiveWe sought to determine if there were any cutaneous or dermatopathological features which discriminate between the mild form of DRESS (‘DRESS minor’) and the severe phenotype (‘DRESS major’).MethodsInpatients from a single centre with a diagnosis of DRESS were prospectively recruited over a 7-year period. Clinical and dermatopathological features were analysed to discriminate between DRESS minor and DRESS major.Results45 patients were included: 19 patients had a RegiSCAR score of ≤3 (DRESS minor), and 26 patients had a score ≥4 (DRESS major). The mean latency period (P=0.001), fever >38.5 oC (P=0.001), and a reaction lasting >15 days (P=0.010) discriminated DRESS major from DRESS minor. Facial oedema was the sole discerning cutaneous feature(P=0.025). Discriminating histopathological features included basal squamatisation (P=0.005), dermal red cell extravasation (P=0.009), and interface inflammation (P=0.005).ConclusionWe propose a new classification system: DRESS minor, to distinguish the milder illness from the severe form, DRESS major. Facial oedema and certain histopathological features can help discriminate between major and minor versions.

description: A covariant quantization method is developed for the off-shell superparticle in 10 dimensions. On-shell it is consistent with lightcone quantization, while off-shell it gives a noncommutative superspace that realizes non-linearly a hidden 11-dimensional super Poincare symmetry. The non-linear commutation rules are then used to construct the supersymmetric generalization of the covariant Moyal star product in noncommutative superspace. As one of the possible applications, we propose this new product as the star product in supersymmetric string field theory. Furthermore, the formalism introduces new techniques and concepts in noncommutative (super)geometry.

description: The position of an interface (domain wall) in a medium with random pinning defects is not determined unambiguously by a current value of the driving force even in average. Based on general theory of the interface motion in a random medium we study this hysteresis, different possible shapes of domain walls and dynamical phase transitions between them. Several principal characteristics of the hysteresis, including the coercive force and the curves of dynamical phase transitions obey scaling laws and display a critical behavior in a vicinity of the mobility threshold. At finite temperature the threshold is smeared and a new range of thermally activated hysteresis appears. At a finite frequency of the driving force there exists a range of the non-adiabatic regime, in which not only the position, but also the average velocity of the domain wall displays hysteresis.

description: We examine challenges and opportunities involved in applying ecosystem services to public land management with an emphasis on national forests in the United States. We review historical forest management paradigms and related economic approaches, outline a conceptual framework defining the informational needs of forest managers, and consider the feasibility of its application given the types of ecological information typically available and the expanding set of services considered in management decisions. Economists can make their work more relevant to managers by broadening their focus to include qualitative approaches and more directly and effectively collaborating with managers and natural scientists.

description: Lifestyle landowners value land for its amenities and ecological characteristics and could play an important role in managing and conserving native vegetation in multifunctional rural landscapes. We quantify values of ecosystem services captured by owners of rural lifestyle properties in Victoria, Australia, using a spatial hedonic property price model. The value of ecosystem services provided by native vegetation is maximized when that vegetation occupies about 40 percent of the area of a lifestyle property. Since the current median proportion of native vegetation is 15 percent, most lifestyle landowners could benefit from increasing the area of native vegetation on their properties.

description: The axial anomaly arising from the fermion sector of $\U(N)$ or $\SU(N)$ reduced model is studied under a certain restriction of gauge field configurations (the ``$\U(1)$ embedding'' with $N=L^d$). We use the overlap-Dirac operator and consider how the anomaly changes as a function of a gauge-group representation of the fermion. A simple argument shows that the anomaly vanishes for an irreducible representation expressed by a Young tableau whose number of boxes is a multiple of $L^2$ (such as the adjoint representation) and for a tensor-product of them. We also evaluate the anomaly for general gauge-group representations in the large $N$ limit. The large $N$ limit exhibits expected algebraic properties as the axial anomaly. Nevertheless, when the gauge group is $\SU(N)$, it does not have a structure such as the trace of a product of traceless gauge-group generators which is expected from the corresponding gauge field theory.

description: Producing biomass energy requires much land, and effects of biomass production on ecosystem services could greatly affect total biomass energy cost. This study estimates switchgrass production cost in western Massachusetts at three levels: private production cost, private cost plus social cost of nitrogen fertilizer externalities, and those costs plus the social opportunity cost of foregone forest ecosystem services. Values for nitrogen externalities and forest ecosystem services estimated with benefit transfer suggest that social cost is much greater than private switchgrass production cost. The benefit-transfer estimates are only first approximations, but conclusions are robust to a large range of values.

description: This paper assessed the hourly daylighting illuminance and light distribution of three categories of the classroom window design in four classroomspaces in Federal University Wukari, Taraba State on illuminance-based metrics under clear sky conditions forvisual safety support of the space design. The categories of the classroom window designs were one-sided (West) window, two-sidedadjacent (South and West) windows and two-sided (North and South) opposite windows. Instrumentation design for data collectionwere A Garmin GPS 72H, Sunche model HS1010 digital luxmeter, a digital professional handheld LCD stopwatch, delectable marker pen,and generic 5m retractable measuring tape rule. The data was collected on a time-sequence basis at an hour interval from 8:00am -5:00 pm on the students’ work planes. The visual performances and safety of the time-varying illuminance data obtained and analyzed on the standard metric binsand a two-tailed weighting factor variablecriterion within the range of Elower limit(100lux) and Eupper limit(2000 lux) value considered as being useful and safe showed that the two-sided opposite window classrooms illuminance performance were relatively more useful and safer than that in one-sided window classrooms as well as the two-sidedadjacent window classrooms.For the maximization of indoor space illuminance of classroom, two-sided opposite windowdesign is recommended

description: The cost-effectiveness of total maximum daily load (TMDL) programs depends heavily on program design. We develop an optimization framework to evaluate design choices for the TMDL for the Potomac River, a Chesapeake Bay subbasin. Scenario results suggest that policies inhibiting nutrient trading or offsets between point and nonpoint sources increase compliance costs markedly and reduce ecosystem service co-benefits relative to a least-cost solution. Key decision tradeoffs highlighted by the analysis include whether agricultural production should be exchanged for low-cost pollution abatement and other environmental benefits and whether lower compliance costs and higher co-benefits provide adequate compensation for lower certainty of water-quality outcomes.

The Thermal Memory of Reionization History

Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: The recent measurement by WMAP of a large electron scattering optical depth tau_e = 0.17 +- 0.04 is consistent with a simple model of reionization in which the intergalactic medium (IGM) is ionized at redshift z ~ 15, and remains highly ionized thereafter. Here, we show that existing measurements of the IGM temperature from the Lyman-alpha forest at z ~ 2 - 4 rule out this ``vanilla'' model. Under reasonable assumptions about the ionizing spectrum, as long as the universe is reionized before z = 10, and remains highly ionized thereafter, the IGM reaches an asymptotic thermal state which is too cold compared to observations. To simultaneously satisfy the CMB and forest constraints, the reionization history must be complex: reionization begins early at z >~ 15, but there must have been significant (order unity) changes in fractions of neutral hydrogen and/or helium at 6 < z < 10, and/or singly ionized helium at 4 < z < 10. We describe a physically motivated reionization model that satisfies all current observations. We also explore the impact of a stochastic reionization history and show that a late epoch of (HeII --> HeIII) reionization induces a significant scatter in the IGM temperature, but the scatter diminishes with time quickly. Finally, we provide an analytic formula for the thermal asymptote, and discuss possible additional heating mechanisms that might evade our constraints.

description: We use a stated choice experiment to estimate household willingness-to-pay for a program providing incentives to private forest land owners in the Red Hills region of southwest Georgia and northwest Florida. The estimated values of various program attributes inform a landscape analysis that identifies high-priority private forest land that could be targeted for conservation incentives. Households report an increase in utility from the program when it explicitly identifies a target ecosystem-service priority. Also, inclusion of stated preference values in the prioritization plan highlights a potential scarcity effect that has important implications for conservation targeting.
Self-induced charge currents in electromagnetic materials, photon effective rest mass and some related topics

description: The contribution of self-induced charge currents of metamaterial media to photon effective rest mass is discussed in detail in the present paper. We concern ourselves with two kinds of photon effective rest mass, i.e., the frequency-dependent and frequency-independent effective rest mass. Based on these two definitions, we calculate the photon effective rest mass in the left-handed medium and the 2TDLM media, the latter of which is described by the so-called two time derivative Lorentz material (2TDLM) model. Additionally, we concentrate primarily on the torque, which is caused by the interaction between self-induced charge currents in dilute plasma (e.g., the secondary cosmic rays) and interstellar magnetic fields (ambient cosmic magnetic vector potentials), acting on the torsion balance of the rotating torsion balance experiment.

description: An experimental analysis of the asynchronous version of the "Game of Life" is performed to estimate how topology perturbations modify its evolution. We focus on the study of a phase transition from an "inactive-sparse phase" to a "labyrinth phase" and produce experimental data to quantify these changes as a function of the density of the initial configuration, the value of the synchrony rate, and the topology missing-link rate. An interpretation of the experimental results is given using the hypothesis that initial "germs" colonize the whole lattice and the validity of this hypothesis is tested.

description: A general framework for determining fundamental bounds in nanophotonics is introduced in this paper. The theory is based on convex optimization of dual problems constructed from operators generated by electromagnetic integral equations. The optimized variable is a contrast current defined within a prescribed region of a given material constitutive relations. Two power conservation constraints analogous to optical theorem are utilized to tighten the bounds and to prescribe either losses or material properties. Thanks to the utilization of matrix rank-1 updates, modal decompositions, and model order reduction techniques, the optimization procedure is computationally efficient even for complicated scenarios. No dual gaps are observed. The method is well-suited to accommodate material anisotropy and inhomogeneity. To demonstrate the validity of the method, bounds on scattering, absorption, and extinction cross sections are derived first and evaluated for several canonical regions. The tightness of the bounds is verified by comparison to optimized spherical nanoparticles and shells. The next metric investigated is bi-directional scattering studied closely on a particular example of an electrically thin slab. Finally, the bounds are established for Purcell's factor and local field enhancement where a dimer is used as a practical example.

We also investigate the effects of stressors such as land use change, climate change, and choices in land management practices on production of ecosystem services and their values. We demonstrate the approach in the Beaver River watershed in Rhode Island. Our key finding is that choices in land use and land management practices create tradeoffs across multiple ecosystem services and the extent of these tradeoffs depends considerably on the scenarios and ecosystem services being compared.

description: We present a new accurate measurement of the HI mass function of galaxies from the HIPASS Bright Galaxy Catalog, a sample of 1000 galaxies with the highest HI peak flux densities in the southern hemisphere (Koribalski et al. 2003). This sample spans nearly four orders of magnitude in HI mass (from log M_HI/M_sun=6.8 to 10.6, H0=75) and is the largest sample of HI selected galaxies to date. We develop a bivariate maximum likelihood technique to measure the space density of galaxies, and show that this is a robust method, insensitive to the effects of large scale structure. The resulting HI mass function can be fitted satisfactorily with a Schechter function with faint-end slope alpha=-1.30. This slope is found to be dependent on morphological type, with later type galaxies giving steeper slopes. We extensively test various effects that potentially bias the determination of the HI mass function, including peculiar motions of galaxies, large scale structure, selection bias, and inclination effects, and quantify these biases. The large sample of galaxies enables an accurate measurement of the cosmological mass density of neutral gas: Omega_HI=(3.8 +/- 0.6) x 10^{-4}. Low surface brightness galaxies contribute only 15% to this value, consistent with previous findings.

We have detected several large areas of soft diffuse X-ray emission along with 37 point sources. One of the most interesting results is the possible association of a faint X-ray source with BSDL 188, a small extended object of uncertain nature. The OB associations in the field-of-view (LH9, LH10 and LH13) are all detected with XMM-Newton, but they appear very different from one another. [...] (for complete abstract, see paper) Finally, our XMM-Newton observation included simultaneous observations with the OM camera that provide us with unique UV photometry of more than 6000 sources and enable the discovery of the UV emission from the SNR N11L.

description: Photon statistics divides light sources into three different categories, characterized by bunched, antibunched or uncorrelated photon arrival times. Single atoms, ions, molecules, or solid state emitters display antibunching of photons, while classical thermal sources exhibit photon bunching. Here we demonstrate a light source in free space, where the photon statistics depends on the direction of observation, undergoing a continuous crossover between photon bunching and antibunching. We employ two trapped ions, observe their fluorescence under continuous laser light excitation, and record the spatially resolved autocorrelation function $g^{(2)}(τ)$ with a movable Hanbury Brown and Twiss detector. Varying the detector position we find a minimum value for antibunching, $g^{(2)}(0) = 0.60(5)$ and a maximum of $g^{(2)}(0)=1.46(8)$ for bunching, demonstrating that this source radiates fundamentally different types of light alike. The observed variation of the autocorrelation function is understood in the Dicke model of heralded entangled states and the observed maximum and minimum values are modeled, taking independently measured experimental parameters into account.

description: Nonlinear field model of extremal space-time film is considered. Its space-localized solution in toroidal coordinates with periodic dependence in time is investigated. A field configuration having a form of the twisted lightlike soliton moving along the ring is considered. An iterative algorithm for obtaining the solution in the form of formal power series in one toroidal variable is proposed. It is discovered that the time dependence in the toroidal solution has a deeply embedded character. Thus the full energy and angular momentum of the solution converge at space infinity.

The objective is to determine switchgrass biomass yield, nutrient concentration in biomass, fertilizer requirements, and expected production cost by month of harvest.
On the energy-momentum tensor for a scalar field on manifolds with boundaries

description: We argue that already at classical level the energy-momentum tensor for a scalar field on manifolds with boundaries in addition to the bulk part contains a contribution located on the boundary. Using the standard variational procedure for the action with the boundary term, the expression for the surface energy-momentum tensor is derived for arbitrary bulk and boundary geometries. Integral conservation laws are investigated. The corresponding conserved charges are constructed and their relation to the proper densities is discussed. Further we study the vacuum expectation value of the energy-momentum tensor in the corresponding quantum field theory. It is shown that the surface term in the energy-momentum tensor is essential to obtain the equality between the vacuum energy, evaluated as the sum of the zero-point energies for each normal mode of frequency, and the energy derived by the integration of the corresponding vacuum energy density. As an application, by using the zeta function technique, we evaluate the surface energy for a quantum scalar field confined inside a spherical shell.

Self-learning Hybrid Monte Carlo: A First-principles Approach

description: We propose a novel approach called Self-Learning Hybrid Monte Carlo (SLHMC) which is a general method to make use of machine learning potentials to accelerate the statistical sampling of first-principles density-functional-theory (DFT) simulations. The trajectories are generated on an approximate machine learning (ML) potential energy surface. The trajectories are then accepted or rejected by the Metropolis algorithm based on DFT energies. In this way the statistical ensemble is sampled exactly at the DFT level for a given thermodynamic condition. Meanwhile the ML potential is improved on the fly by training to enhance the sampling, whereby the training data set, which is sampled from the exact ensemble, is created automatically. Using the examples of $α$-quartz crystal SiO$_2^{}$ and phonon-mediated unconventional superconductor YNi$_2^{}$B$_2^{}$C systems, we show that SLHMC with artificial neural networks (ANN) is capable of very efficient sampling, while at the same time enabling the optimization of the ANN potential to within meV/atom accuracy. The ANN potential thus obtained is transferable to ANN molecular dynamics simulations to explore dynamics as well as thermodynamics. This makes the SLHMC approach widely applicable for studies on materials in physics and chemistry.

Instability of generalised AdS black holes and thermal field theory

Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study black holes in AdS-like spacetimes, with the horizon given by an arbitrary positive curvature Einstein metric. A criterion for classical instability of such black holes is found in the large and small black hole limits. Examples of large unstable black holes have a Böhm metric as the horizon. These, classically unstable, large black holes are locally thermodynamically stable. The gravitational instability has a dual description, for example by using the $AdS_7 \times S^4$ version of the AdS/CFT correspondence. The instability corresponds to a critical temperature of the dual thermal field theory defined on a curved background.

description: One-dimensional free boundary problem for a nonlinear diffusion - convection equation with a Dirichlet condition at fixed face $x=0$, variable in time, is considered. Throught several transformations the problem is reduced to a free boundary problem for a diffusion equation and the integral formulation is obtained. By using fixed point theorems, the existence of at least a solution, for small time, to a system of coupled nonlinear integral equations is obtained.

description: According to USDA Economic Research Service 11.1 percent of all US households were food insecure during some period during 2006. That percentage of food insecure households increased to 14.5 in 2010. In the interim, the country experienced a severe economic recession likely contributing to the increase. On the other hand, government food assistance programs likely mitigated the increase. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly known as the Food Stamp program) is the largest food assistance program and provides benefits to qualifying low-income households to be used for purchasing food. Of note, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) passed in February of 2009 expanded access to SNAP and enhanced program benefits. This research investigates whether an additional SNAP benefit dollar reduces household food-insecurity. The ARRA exogenously increased monthly SNAP benefits to households. We use this natural experiment to identify the causal effect of SNAP benefits on household food insecurity. Our findings suggest that a dollar increase in per-capita household benefits decreases the probability that the household was food insecure during the last 30 days by about .5%.

description: The purpose of this study is to determine the impact on both the world cotton and cottonseed market from the policy reform of adopting genetically modified Bt cotton, which would increase yields in the C4 (Ghana, Chad, Burkina Fuso, Mali and Benin) African countries. The results show that with the adoption of Bt cotton in the C4 African countries, in the year 2022 the world price of cotton would decrease by 0.54%. The rest of the countries would respond to the lower prices by decreasing production and increasing use, so exports decrease, and imports increase. Therefore, one of the implications of the policy reform of adopting Bt cotton production by the C4 African countries, is an increase in their domestic cotton production by around 4.72%, which may increase farm income and strengthen foreign exchange in the cotton sector for those countries, and might contribute in the reduction of poverty. Also, additional availability of bioenergy feedstock derived from cottonseed oil can be either used for biodiesel to extend local energy supply or to be exported to areas in which the demand for biofuels is large, such as the US and EU.

description: This paper demonstrates that EU-27 meat exports underwent structural changes following the discovery of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in the United States (2003) and highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) outbreaks in the European Union (2006). The two diseases caused short-term (11-month) drops in beef meat and poultry demand but increased export demand for pork meat, beef offal, pork offal, and other meat. These results—except for a decline in U.S. beef offal exports—are similar to those found by modeling U.S. meat export demand after the BSE incident of December 23, 2003. By 2012, U.S. beef meat exports had recovered and exceeded their pre-BSE levels, but EU beef meat exports were still 31 percent lower than in 2003.

description: The endogeneity of retail market power arises in the retail pricing equation due to the correlation between margins and unobserved cost components. Nevertheless, it has long been ignored in the equilibrium analysis of retail behavior. We address the issue via a control function approach in a new conceptual framework with consumer preferences represented by a benefit function. We further offer three test procedures to evaluate the endogeneity of retail market power. The empirical value of the model is illustrated in an application to the US yogurt industry. Outcomes from endogeneity tests provide strong evidence for market power endogeneity. Moreover, ignoring the issue results in downward bias in retail market power.
