description: Equilibrium systems which exhibit a phase transition can be studied by investigating the complex zeros of the partition function. This method, pioneered by Yang and Lee, has been widely used in equilibrium statistical physics. We show that an analogous treatment is possible for a nonequilibrium phase transition into an absorbing state. By investigating the complex zeros of the survival probability of directed percolation processes we demonstrate that the zeros provide information about universal properties. Moreover we identify certain non-trivial points where the survival probability for bond percolation can be computed exactly.

description: The Maryland Water Quality Improvement Act of 1998 (WQIA) seeks to create environmental and other benefits to the Chesapeake Bay through reductions in nonpoint source nutrient pollution. This paper analyzes the economic impacts of the WQIA on agricultural users of nutrients (commercial fertilizers or animal manures) and on poultry growers in the state of Maryland. The net economic impacts to each of these groups are estimated along with some discussion of the distribution of the impacts. Recognition of the distribution of the impacts allows for the assessment of potential policies to address negative impacts. Additional sections of the WQIA are discussed in terms of their ability to shift the distribution of the impacts or to provide partial compensation to those most affected. The WQIA is the most restrictive agricultural nonpoint pollution control law in the US. While the WQIA only regulates nutrient use in the state of Maryland, other states, as well as the federal government, are watching how this law is implemented. Many states are considering similar laws. At the national level, the United States Department of Agriculture and the United States Environmental Protection Agency have issued draft guidelines that will control nutrients from animal operations in much the same way as the WQIA. Therefore, analyses of the economic impacts of the WQIA may be important in shaping policies in other states and at the national level. © 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

description: The trispectrum of the cosmic microwave background can be used to assess the level of non-Gaussianity on cosmological scales. It probes the fourth order moment, as a function of angular scale, of the probability distribution function of fluctuations and has been shown to be sensitive to primordial non-gaussianity, secondary anisotropies (such as the Ostriker-Vishniac effect) and systematic effects (such as astrophysical foregrounds). In this paper we develop a formalism for estimating the trispectrum from high resolution sky maps which incorporates the impact of finite sky coverage. This leads to a series of operations applied to the data set to minimize the effects of contamination due to the Gaussian component and correlations between estimates at different scales. To illustrate the effect of the estimation process, we apply our procedure to the BOOMERanG data set and show that it is consistent with Gaussianity. This work presents the first estimation of the CMB trispectrum on sub-degree scales.

description: Background: Several studies have focused on the differences between families of children with ASD (autism spectrum disorder) and children with typical development by analyzing psychological correlates of families of children with disabilities. Outcome literature emphasizes those parents of children with autism report high levels of stress and other complexities in adjusting to life. Methods: The authors conducted a systematic literature review designed to explore the most widely used normative and qualitative tests and related reference constructs in the scientific literature during the period between 2009 and 2019. Results: The literature found is very large and the authors decided to identify some categories within which to differentiate the studies collected and the relative tests that emerged that are stress, emotional states, family functioning, personal characteristics and social support. Conclusions: A thorough review of the literature combined with clinical experience showed that in clinical studies the focus on individual constructs is very strong and the subject, in this case the parent, is not viewed as a larger part of a social context, which can be a resource in stress management.

description: The parallel dynamics of the fully connected Blume-Emery-Griffiths neural network model is studied at zero temperature for arbitrary using a probabilistic approach. A recursive scheme is found determining the complete time evolution of the order parameters, taking into account all feedback correlations. It is based upon the evolution of the distribution of the local field, the structure of which is determined in detail. As an illustrative example, explicit analytic formula are given for the first few time steps of the dynamics. Furthermore, equilibrium fixed-point equations are derived and compared with the thermodynamic approach. The analytic results find excellent confirmation in extensive numerical simulations.

description: Im Zusammenhang mit dem Reaktorunfall von Tschernobyl entbrennt oft die Diskussion darüber, ob man tatsächlich eine Lehre aus der Nuklearkatastrophe gezogen hat. Die vorliegende Arbeit widmet sich der Untersuchung der kulturellen Bedingtheit einer solchen Katastrophendidaktik, indem sie die inhaltlich-funktionelle Gestaltung der Tschernobyl-Erinnerung im deutsch-ukrainischen Vergleich erforscht. Der Abhandlung liegt dabei das theoretische Paradigma der Erinnerungsorte zugrunde. Die historische Rahmung der Katastrophe sowie die Analyse der zentralen Gedächtnismedien in den nationalen Erinnerungskulturen haben gezeigt, dass Unterschiede in kollektiven Deutungsmustern von 1986 vor allem auf Differenzen des jeweiligen historischen Kontextes zurückzuführen sind. In Deutschland wurde die Bevölkerung dank der Anti-Atomkraft-Bewegung für die Gefahren der Kernenergie sensibilisiert und nach dem misslungenen Krisenmanagement der Regierung nachhaltig von der Unkontrollierbarkeit der zivilen Atomkraft überzeugt. Auch heute bekräftigt Tschernobyl den atomablehnenden Konsens in der deutschen Gesellschaft. In der Ukraine dagegen hat die staatliche Zensur sowohl vor als auch nach dem Unfall eine kritische Auseinandersetzung mit der Kernenergie verhindert. Bisher konnte sich der ukrainische Erinnerungsort zu keinem gemeinschaftsstiftenden, kohärenten Vergangenheitsbild verdichten. In der Arbeit wird aber auch diskutiert, ob Tschernobyl als primär geteilter Erinnerungsort über das Potenzial verfügt, zu einem gemeinsamen bzw. transnationalen Mnemotop aufzusteigen.

 Distribution
Previously recorded (see Kott 1992a): South Australia (Great Australian Bight, Gulf St Vincent). New records: Tasmania (Tasman Peninsula, 12–14 m, SAM E3244; 10–14 m, E3296). The newly recorded location is the most southerly recorded for this species.
 Description
The colonies are as previously described, with the long, narrow, cylindrical sandy stalks arising from a common base and a terminal cylindrical glassy, transparent head with the relatively crowded zooids opening all around it. The sand becomes less crowded toward the top of the stalk and is only sparse in the head. In this species the oesophagus is long and the four-chambered pseudodistomid stomach is in the distal one-third of the relatively long abdomen. The posterior abdomen is long and narrow, about twice to three times the length of the abdomen, with two broad bands of muscles and a short row of gonads at the posterior end (in the base of the stalk).

description: Praziquantel (PZQ) is a pyrazino-isoquinoline compound with broad spectrum of activity against parasitic trematodes and cestodes, and a key veterinary drug in the parasitic disease control field. However, PZQ residues caused by non-conforming or excessive use in food-producing animals may pose a serious threat to human health. Herein, a simple, sensitive and reproducible LC-MS/MS method was developed for the simultaneous determination of praziquantel and trans- and cis-4-hydroxypraziquantel in black goat tissues to guide the reasonable use of PZQ. The mean recoveries for three target analytes were 71.2 ∼ 117.6%, and the limits of quantification were 1.0 μg/kg. Twenty-five healthy black goats were administered a single dose of praziquantel tablets at a dose of 35 mg/kg of body weight for residue elimination study, The results revealed that praziquantel and 4-hydroxypraziquantel were rapidly depleted in goat tissues and the elimination half-lives did not exceed 1 day in all tissues except for muscle and lung. It provides guidance for the establishment of maximum residue limit of praziquantel in goat.

Les résultats de cette fouille sont ici directement livrés à la suite des expertises réalisées par la Commission territoriale de la recherche archéologique de l’interrégion Sud-Ouest. Localement le secteur demeurait jusqu’alors peu exploré par l’archéologie ; il était toutefois attendu qu’y soit détectée une occupation humaine sur une longue durée : terrasse en limite de zone inondable, exposition plein sud, proximité d’un cours d’eau (le Lot) et d’un point de passage d’une rive à l’autre. Ainsi, ont pu être identifiées quatre occupations entre le Bronze final et le XIe siècle de notre ère, cela malgré les difficultés d’observations archéologiques propre à un terroir qui fut mis en culture par la suite, jusqu’à nos jours, entraînant arasement ou disparition des vestiges antérieurs et « fugacité » des indices.
On the Selection of Photometric Planetary Transits

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

description: We present a new method for differentiating between planetary transits and eclipsing binaries based on the presence of the ellipsoidal light variations. These variations can be used to detect stellar secondaries with masses ~0.2 M_sun orbiting sun-like stars at a photometric accuracy level which has already been achieved in transit surveys. By removing candidates exhibiting this effect it is possible to greatly reduce the number of objects requiring spectroscopic follow up with large telescopes. Unlike the usual candidate selection method, which are primarily based on the estimated radius of the orbiting object, this technique is not biased against bona-fide planets and brown dwarfs with large radii, because the amplitude of the effect depends on the transiting object's mass and orbital distance. In many binary systems, where a candidate planetary transit is actually due to the partial eclipse of two normal stars, the presence of flux variations due to the gravity darkening effect will show the true nature of these systems. We show that many of the recent OGLE-III photometric transit candidates exhibit the presence of significant variations in their light curves and are likely to be due to stellar secondaries. We find that the light curves of white dwarf transits will generally not mimic those of small planets because of significant gravitationally induced flux variations. We discuss the relative merits of methods used to detect transit candidates which are due to stellar blends rather than planets. We outline how photometric observations taken in two bands can be used to detect the presence of stellar blends.

 Distribution
Previously recorded (see Kott 1992a): Western Australia (Bunbury, Albany); South Australia (Great Australian Bight, Spencer Gulf); Victoria (Portland). New record: Tasmania (Port Davey, 4–6 m, SAM E3274).
 Description
The colonies are as previously described, soft, grey oval pillows, with sand in the surface, although it is only sparse internally. Common cloacal apertures, slightly orange in the newly recorded specimens, are evenly distributed and protrude slightly from the otherwise smooth surface of the colony. Each cloacal aperture contains the very long, narrow atrial lips of the circle of zooids that surround it. These atrial lips project from the body wall just anterior to the small, round atrial opening of each zooid and they appear to close down over the forward-projecting atrial opening. A small post-atrial papillum also projects from the middorsal line. Zooids have 18 rows of about 14 stigmata per half row, and about the same number of flat, rounded branchial papillae on each of the transverse interstigmatal vessels. Gonads were not detected in the newly recorded colonies, and a long, narrow posterior abdominal vegetative stolon is present.
 Remarks
 The specimens are consistent with those described previously for this species. It is distinguished from Poyclinum marsupiale by its more numerous rows of stigmata, the less protuberant common cloacal apertures and the crowded zooids in complex systems rather than the circular systems of zooids that surround each common cloacal aperture in P. marsupiale, and when embryos are present, by the lack of a brood pouch projecting from the thorax.

description: The current work addresses a theme previously unexplored in the literature: that of whether the results arising from research activity in fields other than the scientist's pri-mary field have greater value than the others. Operationally, the authors proceed by identifying: the scientific production of each researcher under observation; field classifi-cation of the publications; the field containing the greatest number of the researcher's publications; attribution of value of each publication. The results show that diversifica-tion at the aggregate level does not pay off, although there are some exceptions at the level of individual disciplines. The implications at policy level are notable. Since the in-centive systems of research organizations are based on the impact of scientific output, the scientists concerned could resist engaging in multidisciplinary projects.

We have considered a semi-classical model, with an exclusion principle in a discretized single-particle phase-space. In the large T limit, numerical simulations show a universal probability distribution which agrees very well with the quantum mechanical prediction of Lee, Levitov and Yakovets [PRB {51} 4079 (1995)] for the charge counting statistics. Special attention is given to its third cumulant, including an analysis of finite size effects and of some experimental constraints for its accurate measurement.

description: A periodic Kolmogorov type flow is implemented in a lattice gas automaton. For given aspect ratios of the automaton universe and within a range of Reynolds number values, the averaged flow evolves towards a stationary two-dimensional $ABC$ type flow. We show the analogy between the streamlines of the flow in the automaton and the phase plane trajectories of a dynamical system. In practice flows are commonly studied by seeding the fluid with suspended particles which play the role of passive tracers. Since an actual flow is time-dependent and has fluctuations, the tracers exhibit interesting intrinsic dynamics. When tracers are implemented in the automaton and their trajectories are followed, we find that the tracers displacements obey a diffusion law, with ``super-diffusion'' in the direction orthogonal to the direction of the initial forcing.

description: We consider a one-dimensional network in which the nodes at Euclidean distance $l$ can have long range connections with a probabilty $P(l) \sim l^{-δ}$ in addition to nearest neighbour connections. This system has been shown to exhibit small world behaviour for $δ< 2$ above which its behaviour is like a regular lattice. From the study of the clustering coefficients, we show that there is a transition to a random network at $δ= 1$. The finite size scaling analysis of the clustering coefficients obtained from numerical simulations indicate that a continuous phase transition occurs at this point. Using these results, we find that the two transitions occurring in this network can be detected in any dimension by the behaviour of a single quantity, the average bond length. The phase transitions in all dimensions are non-trivial in nature.

description: Do increases in the food supply per person in a country, i.e., national food availability, contribute substantially to reductions in malnutrition among its children? This paper sets out to answer this controversial question using panel data from 63 developing countries over 1970-1996. This paper gives evidence in support of a statistically significant and strong positive impact of national food availability on child nutrition, finding that increased food supplies have resulted in significant reductions in malnutrition since the 1970s despite population increases over the period. However, per-capita food supplies have a declining marginal impact: their effect is quite strong for countries with very low food availability (e.g., most countries in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia), but weak or non-existent for those with high levels (e.g., most countries in the Near East and North Africa). Further, non-food factors, such as women's education and status and the quality of health environments, are also important determinants of children's nutritional status. Depending on the state offood availability in any particular geographic area and relative costs, these factors may merit greater priority in policies to reduce malnutrition. © 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

description: The relationship between the financial structure of a marketing cooperative (MC) and the requirement of the domination of control by the members is analysed from a transaction costs perspective. A MC receives less favourable terms on outside equity than a conventional firm because the decision power regarding new investments is not allocated to the providers of these funds. This is a serious threat to the survival of a MC in a market where efficient investments are characterised by an increasing level of asset specificity at the processing stage of production. A MC is predicted to be an efficient organisational form when the level of asset specificity at the processing stage of production is at a low or immediate level compared to the level of asset specificity at the farming stage of production. © 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

description: We have determined the fundamental properties and distance of a fourth eclipsing binary system (EB) in the Large Magellanic Cloud, HV5936 (B0.5 V + B2 III). As in our previous studies, we combine "classical" EB light curve and radial velocity curve analyses with modeling of the UV-through-optical spectral energy distribution of HV5936 to produce a detailed characterization of the system. In this paper, we also include an analysis of the high-resolution optical absorption line spectra of the binary components. We find HV5936 to be an Algol-class system, in which the masses of the primary and secondary stars have evolved via mass transfer to their current values of 11.6 Mo and 4.7 Mo, respectively. The properties of the primary star are indistinguishable from those of a "normal" star of the same current mass. The secondary is found to be overluminous for its current mass and exhibits a factor-of-2 enhancement in its surface He abundance. These results are compatible with "Case A" mass exchange occurring during the core hydrogen burning phase of the current secondary. The distance derived to the system, 43.2 +/- 1.8 kpc, implies a distance of ~44.3 kpc to the optical center of the LMC. This is several kpc closer than found in our analyses of other systems and we suggest that HV5936 lies "above" the LMC disk. This is supported by the very low interstellar H I column density and low E(B-V) found for the system - both of which are consistent with expected Milky Way foreground material - and may be associated with HV5936's location near the LMC supergiant shell LMC4.

(Figure 9E)
 Polyclinum marsupiale Kott 1963, p 83; 1992a, p 452 and synonymy.
 Distribution
Previously recorded (see Kott 1992a): Western Australia (Rottnest I., Albany); South Australia (Kingston, Victor Harbour); Victoria (Portland, Deal I.); Tasmania (Hunter I.). New record: South Australia (Kangaroo I., SAM E2866–7, E3298).
 Description
Sandy, more or less circular cushions with rounded margins are fixed to the substratum by most of the under surface, although one specimen (SAM E2867) has an extension of part of the under surface attached to a bryozoan skeleton that holds the circular plate-like colony aloft, like a mushroom. Elevations, each containing a circle of zooids around a terminal cylindrical common cloacal aperture, project from the upper surface. The test is colourless and brown zooids are visible through it. Sand is only sparse in the internal test. A long narrow atrial lip from the body wall anterior to the small circular atrial aperture of each zooid is inserted into the test around each common cloacal aperture. The atrial lip has a straight or a pointed tip, or it is produced into a fringe of four or five pointed lobes or up to 10 minute denticulations. A small post-atrial papillum projects from the body wall just behind the atrial aperture. About 16 rows of stigmata have about 15 stigmata per half row and about the same number of flat branchial papillae on each transverse vessel. The stomach is small and smooth-walled; the gonads are in a sac constricted off from the abdomen. The proximal part of the vas deferens runs a convoluted course over the surface of the gonads and it may straighten out as the gonads mature. Embryos are crowded in a brood pouch protruding from the thorax behind the atrial cavity in the newly recorded specimens (SAM E3298 collected in November).
 Remarks
 The specimens are consistent with those described previously for this temperate species. It is distinguished from Polyclinum incrustatum by its brown zooids, presence of a brood pouch constricted off from the thorax, fewer rows of stigmata and cloacal systems that consist of a simple circle of zooids around a protruberant common cloacal aperture.

description: In most surface-bound exospheres Na has been observed at altitudes above what is possible by thermal release. Photon stimulated desorption of adsorbed Na on solid surfaces has been commonly used to explain observations at high altitudes. We investigate three model velocity distribution functions (VDF) that have been previously used in several studies to describe the desorption of atoms from a solid surface either by electron or by photon bombardment, namely: the Maxwell-Boltzmann (M-B) distribution, the empirical distribution proposed by [Wurz et al., 2010] for PSD, and the Weibull distribution. We use all available measurements reported by [Yakshinskiy and Madey, 2000, 2004] to test these distributions and determine which one fits best (statistically) and we discuss their physical validity. Our results show that the measured VDF of released Na atoms are too narrow compared to Maxwell-Boltzmann fits with supra-temperatures as suggested by [3]. We found that a good fit with M-B is only achieved with a speed offset of the whole distribution to higher speeds and a lower temperature, with the offset and the fit temperature not showing any correlation with the surface temperature. From the three distributions we studied, we find that the Weibull distribution provides the best fits using the temperature of the surface, though an offset towards higher speeds is required. This work confirms that Electron-Stimulated Desorption (ESD) and Photon-Stimulated Desorption (PSD) should produce non-thermal velocity (or energy) distributions of the atoms released via these processes, which is expected from surface physics. We recommend to use the Weibull distribution with the shape parameter kappa=1.7, the speed offset v0=575 m/s, and the surface temperature to model PSD distributions at planetary bodies.

description: The European Spallation Source (ESS), presently well on its way to completion, will soon provide the most intense neutron beams for multi-disciplinary science. Fortuitously, it will also generate the largest pulsed neutrino flux suitable for the detection of Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering (CE$ν$NS), a process recently measured for the first time at ORNL's Spallation Neutron Source. We describe innovative detector technologies maximally able to profit from the order-of-magnitude increase in neutrino flux provided by the ESS, along with their sensitivity to a rich particle physics phenomenology accessible through high-statistics, precision CE$ν$NS measurements.

description: We have studied the binding energies and electronic structures of metal (Ti, Al, Au) chains adsorbed on single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNT) using first principles methods. Our calculations have shown that titanium is much more favored energetically over gold and aluminum to form a continuous chain on a variety of SWNTs. The interaction between titanium and carbon nanotube significantly modifies the electronic structures around Fermi energy for both zigzag and armchair tubes. The delocalized 3d electrons from the titanium chain generate additional states in the band gap regions of the semiconducting tubes, transforming them into metals.

(Figure 9F, G)
 Aplidiopsis confluata Kott 1992a, p 468.
 Distribution
Previously recorded (see Kott 1992a): Tasmania (Ninepin Point). New record: Tasmania (Port Davey, 4–6 m, SAM E3281).
 Description
The colony is soft, mushroom-shaped with a circular flat head on a short narrow stalk from the centre of the under surface. Sand, present on the outer surface of the head, is sparse in the soft internal test of the head but is crowded in the stalk. Conspicuous common cloacal apertures are present around the margin of the upper surface of the colony and zooids form circular systems around them or they line the canals that radiate to them. Photographs show the colony to have been red in life. Zooids have a long strap-like atrial lip from the body wall anterior to the opening and it has a fringe of four to six pointed projections along its free edge. A small papillum is present behind the atrial aperture. Six fine longitudinal muscles on the anterior part of the thorax fade out halfway down the sides. Sixteen rows of about 14 stigmata are on each side of the body. The stomach is smooth. The posterior abdomen is long and narrow and muscles were not detected on it.
 Remarks
Previously the species was known only from its holotype, which is a larger colony with more crowded zooids and systems but otherwise is similar to the newly recorded specimen.

description: The JETSCAPE framework is a modular and versatile Monte Carlo software package for the simulation of high energy nuclear collisions. In this work we present a new tune of JETSCAPE, called PP19, and validate it by comparison to jet-based measurements in $p+p$ collisions, including inclusive single jet cross sections, jet shape observables, fragmentation functions, charged hadron cross sections, and dijet mass cross sections. These observables in $p+p$ collisions provide the baseline for their counterparts in nuclear collisions. Quantifying the level of agreement of JETSCAPE results with $p+p$ data is thus necessary for meaningful applications of JETSCAPE to A+A collisions. The calculations use the JETSCAPE PP19 tune, defined in this paper, based on version 1.0 of the JETSCAPE framework. For the observables discussed in this work calculations using JETSCAPE PP19 agree with data over a wide range of collision energies at a level comparable to standard Monte Carlo codes. These results demonstrate the physics capabilities of the JETSCAPE framework and provide benchmarks for JETSCAPE users.

description: What is the fastest way to heat a system which is coupled to a temperature controlled oven? The intuitive answer is to use only the hottest temperature available. However, we show that often it is possible to achieve an exponentially faster heating, and propose a strategy to find the optimal protocol. Surprisingly, this protocol can have a pre-cooling stage -- cooling the system before heating it shortens the heating time significantly. This approach can be applied to many-body systems, as we demonstrate in the 2D antiferromagnet Ising model.
