description: We address a discrepancy between different computations of $η/s$ (shear viscosity over entropy density) of hadronic matter. Substantial deviations of this coefficient are found between transport approaches mainly based on resonance propagation with finite lifetime and other (semi-analytical) approaches with energy-dependent cross-sections, where interactions do not introduce a timescale. We provide an independent extraction of this coefficient by using the newly-developed SMASH (Simulating Many Accelerated Strongly interacting Hadrons) transport code, which is an example of a mainly resonance-based approach. We compare the results from SMASH with numerical solutions of the Boltzmann equation for simple systems using the Chapman-Enskog expansion, as well as previous results in the literature. Our conclusion is that the hadron interaction via resonance formation/decay strongly affects the transport properties of the system, resulting in significant differences in $η/s$ with respect to other approaches where binary collisions dominate. We argue that the relaxation time of the system ---which characterizes the shear viscosity--- is determined by the interplay between the mean-free time and the lifetime of resonances. We show how an artificial shortening of the resonance lifetimes, or the addition of a background elastic cross section nicely interpolate between the two discrepant results.

description: We consider $(3+1)$-dimensional $SU(N)/\mathbb Z_N$ Yang-Mills theory on a space-time with a compact spatial direction, and prove the following result: Under a continuous increase of the theta angle $θ\toθ+2π$, a 't Hooft operator $T(γ)$ associated with a closed spatial curve $γ$ that winds around the compact direction undergoes a monodromy $T(γ) \to T^\prime(γ)$. The new 't Hooft operator $T^\prime(γ)$ transforms under large gauge transformations in the same way as the product $T(γ) W(γ)$, where $W(γ)$ is the Wilson operator associated with the curve $γ$ and the fundamental representation of SU(N).

description: Within building technology educators in architectural education, there is a frequent exploration of structural pedagogy. How best can the theory of structural design be taught? Are calculations necessary, for example? What participatory learning assignments can guide architectural students to haptic and intuitive understandings of structure? This paper adds to this discussion by presenting two exercises designed to capture the imagination of students whose environment is saturated with Snapchat, data visualization, and Instagram. The first assignment is a digital “term paper” for graduate students that examines earthquake design through an analysis with GIS and presenting a “Story Map” of an historic seismic event. Learning objectives for the class included: to understand how a building structure behaves in a seismic event, to gain the ability to determine and apply seismic loads, and, to understand the role of the built environment and design in seismic events. The visualization of a seismic event encourages spatial thinking and understanding of scale as well as the impact of the selection of construction type on the local communities after and earthquake. The second project is a version of “teaching the teacher” with undergraduate students authoring two-minute videos explaining one of the primary loads on a building – live, dead, snow, wind, or seismic. Learning objectives for the assignment are: to understand the types of loads on a building, and to increase students’ ability to visualize, problem-solve, and understand these demands. Storyboarding, defining and redefining the load, filming, and editing allowed for students to use their creativity, narrative voice, and graphic skills in learning and conveying the subject material. In both cases, students moved beyond the calculation, though did not leave the numbers completely behind. This presentation will share the assignment development, outline the support from campus units, show examples of student work, present lessons learned, and share reflections by students on the projects.

description: Mutualistic interactions, which are beneficial for both interacting species, are recurrently present in ecosystems. Observations of natural systems showed that, if we draw mutualistic relationships as binary links between species, the resulting bipartite network of interactions displays a widespread particular ordering called nestedness. On the other hand, theoretical works have shown that a nested structure has a positive impact on a number of relevant features ranging from species coexistence to a higher structural stability of communities and biodiversity. However, how nestedness emerges and what are its determinants, are still open challenges that have led to multiple debates to date. Here, we show, by applying a theoretical approach to the analysis of 167 real mutualistic networks, that nestedness is not an irreducible feature, but a consequence of the degree sequences of both guilds of the mutualistic network. Remarkably, we find that an outstanding majority of the analyzed networks does not show statistical significant nestedness. These findings point to the need of revising previous claims about the role of nestedness and might contribute to expand our understanding of how evolution shapes mutualistic interactions and communities by placing the focus on the local properties rather than on global quantities.

description: We report the rf performance of a single-cell superconducting radiofrequency cavity after low temperature baking in a nitrogen environment. A significant increase in quality factor has been observed when the cavity was heat treated in the temperature range of 120-160 °C with a nitrogen partial pressure of ~25 mTorr. This increase in quality factor as well as the Q-rise phenomenon (anti-Q-slope) is similar to those previously obtained with high temperature nitrogen doping as well as titanium doping. In this study, a cavity N2-treated at 120 °C and at140 °C, showed no degradation in accelerating gradient, however the accelerating gradient was degraded by 25 with a 160 °C N2 treatment. Sample coupons treated in the same conditions as the cavity were analyzed by scanning electron microscope, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and secondary ion mass spectroscopy revealed a complex surface composition of Nb_2O5, NbO and NbN(1-x)Ox within the rf penetration depth. Furthermore, magnetization measurements showed no significant change on bulk superconducting properties.

description: We study the zero-dimensional reduced model of D=6 pure super Yang-Mills theory and argue that the large N limit describes the (2,0) Little String Theory. The one-loop effective action shows that the force exerted between two diagonal blocks of matrices behaves as 1/r^4, implying a six-dimensional spacetime. We also observe that it is due to non-gravitational interactions. We construct wave functions and vertex operators which realize the D=6, (2,0) tensor representation. We also comment on other "little" analogues of the IIB matrix model and Matrix Theory with less supercharges.

description: There has been significant recent interest in studying consumer behavior in sponsored search advertising (SSA). Researchers have typically used daily data from search engines containing measures such as average bid, average ad position, total impressions, clicks and cost for each keyword in the advertiser's campaign. A variety of random utility models have been estimated using such data and the results have helped researchers explore the factors that drive consumer click and conversion propensities. However, virtually every analysis of this kind has ignored the intra-day variation in ad position. We show that estimating random utility models on aggregated (daily) data without accounting for this variation will lead to systematically biased estimates -- specifically, the impact of ad position on click-through rate (CTR) is attenuated and the predicted CTR is higher than the actual CTR. We demonstrate the existence of the bias analytically and show the effect of the bias on the equilibrium of the SSA auction. Using a large dataset from a major search engine, we measure the magnitude of bias and quantify the losses suffered by the search engine and an advertiser using aggregate data. The search engine revenue loss can be as high as 11% due to aggregation bias. We also present a few data summarization techniques that can be used by search engines to reduce or eliminate the bias.

Implications of mean field accretion disc theory for vorticity and magnetic field growth
Creators: name: Blackman, Eric G.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In addition to the scalar Shakura-Sunyaev $α_{ss}$ turbulent viscosity transport term used in simple analytic accretion disc modeling, a pseudoscalar transport term also arises. The essence of this term can be captured even in simple models for which vertical averaging is interpreted as integration over a half-thickness and one separately studies each hemisphere. The additional term highlights a complementarity between mean field magnetic dynamo theory and accretion disc theory treated as a mean field theory. Such pseudoscalar terms have been studied, and can lead to large scale magnetic field and vorticity growth. Here it is shown that vorticity can grow even in the simplest azimuthal and half-height integrated disc model, for which mean quantities depend only on radius. The simplest vorticity growth solutions seem to have scales and vortex survival times consistent those required for facilitating planet formation. Also it is shown that when the magnetic back-reaction is included to lowest order, the pseudoscalar driving the magnetic field growth and that driving the vorticity growth will behave differently with respect to shearing and non-shearing flows: the former can reverse sign in the two cases, while the latter will have the same sign.

description: The analytical $\mathcal{O}(a^4_s)$ perturbative QCD expression for the flavour non-singlet contribution to the Bjorken polarized sum rule in the rather applicable at present gauge--dependent $\rm{miniMOM}$ scheme is obtained. For the considered three values of the gauge parameter, namely $ξ=0$ (Landau gauge), $ξ=-1$ (anti--Feynman gauge) and $ξ=-3$ (Stefanis--Mikhailov gauge), the scheme-dependent coefficients are considerably smaller than the gauge-independent $\rm{\overline{MS}}$ results. It is found that the fundamental property of the factorization of the QCD renormalization group $β$-function in the generalized Crewther relation, which is valid in the gauge-invariant $\rm{\overline{MS}}$ scheme up to $\mathcal{O}(a^4_s)$-level at least, is unexpectedly valid at the same level in the $\rm{miniMOM}$-scheme for $ξ=0$, and for $ξ=-1$ and $ξ=-3$ in part.

description: We develop a new dynamic general equilibrium model of firm location choice that can explain the observed sorting of firms by productivity and is consistent with the observed entry, exit, and relocation decisions of firms within an urban economy. We discuss existence of equilibrium of and characterize the stationary distribution of firms in each location. The parameters of the model can be estimated using a nested fixed point algorithm. We implement the estimator using data collect by Dunn and Bradstreet for the Pittsburgh metropolitan area. The data suggest that firms located in the city are older and larger than firms located outside the urban core. As a consequence they use more land and labor in the production process. However, they face higher rental rates for land and office space which implies that they operate with a higher employee per land ratio. We find that our model explains these observed features of the data well. Finally, we consider the impact of different relocation policies that provide targeted subsidies to new start-ups and superstar firms.

Achieving this requires challenging disciplinary imperatives, entrenched biases and assumptions through investigations.
Agency Selling or Reselling? Channel Structures in Electronic Retailing

description: In recent years, online retailers (e-tailers) have started allowing manufacturers direct access to their customers while charging a fee for providing this access, a format commonly referred to as agency selling. In this paper, we use a stylized theoretical model to answer a key question that e-tailers are facing: When should they use an agency selling format instead of using the more conventional reselling format? We find that agency selling is more effecient than reselling and leads to lower retail prices; however, the e-tailers end up giving control over retail prices to the manufacturer. Therefore, the reaction by the manufacturer, who makes electronic channel pricing decisions based on their impact on demand in the traditional channel (brick-and-mortar retailing), is an important factor for e-tailers to consider. We find that when sales in the electronic channel lead to a negative effect on demand in the traditional channel, e-tailers prefer agency selling, whereas when sales in the electronic channel lead to substantial stimulation of demand in the traditional channel, e-tailers prefer reselling. This preference is mediated by competition between e-tailers — as competition between them increases, e-tailers prefer to use agency selling. We also find that when e-tailers benefit from positive externalities from the sales of the focal product (such as additional profits from sales of complementary products), retail prices may be lower under reselling than under agency selling, and the e-tailers prefer reselling under some conditions where they would prefer agency selling without the positive externalities.

description: The study of nonmodal amplification of distributed body forces in channel flows of viscoelastic fluids has provided useful insights into the mechanisms that may govern the initial stages of transition to elastic turbulence. However, distributed body forces are not easy to implement in experiments and so there is a need to examine amplification of localized body forces. In this work, we use the linearized governing equations to examine such amplification in Poiseuille flow of FENE-CR fluids. We first identify the wall-normal location at which the impulsive excitations experience the largest amplification and then analyze the kinetic energy of the fluctuations and the resulting flow structures. For both a Newtonian fluid at high Reynolds numbers and a viscoelastic fluid at low Reynolds numbers, the largest amplification occurs for disturbances that are located near the channel wall. Our analysis of the energy evolution shows that a localized body force in the spanwise direction has the largest impact and that the streamwise velocity component is most affected. For viscoelastic fluids we observe the development of vortical structures away from the source of impulsive excitation. This feature is less prominent in Newtonian fluids and it may provide a mechanism for triggering the initial stages of transition to elastic turbulence.

description: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) such as naphthalene (Nap) and benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) are common in the water column and sediments of estuarine and coastal areas. The mud crab Rhithropanopeus harrisii was exposed to varying concentrations of Nap or B[a]P to determine the effects on reproductive success, embryological development, larval physiology and mortality. Nap and B[a]P decreased hatching success and prolonged embryological development. Both pollutants produced high abnormality frequencies for egg exposed larvae. Molt frequency and respiratory rates of larvae from non-exposed eggs were more chronically affected by these pollutants than were egg exposed larvae. The EC50 concentrations were determined for hatching success (B[a]P - 6.12 ppb) and larval abnormalities (B[a]P - 0.348 ppb; Nap - 78.98 ppb). The LC50 concentrations were determined for larvae in larval (B[a]P - 9.05 ppb), egg and larval (B[a]P - 13.28 ppb) and egg only (B[a]P - 33.46 ppb) exposure groups.

description: The dynamics of the high-velocity compact molecular cloud CO-0.40-0.22 have been interpreted as evidence for a $\sim10^{5}M_{\odot}$ black hole within 60 pc of Sgr A*. Recently, Oka et al. have identified a compact millimetre-continuum source, CO-0.40-0.22*, with this candidate black hole. Here we present a collation of radio and infrared data at this location. ATCA constraints on the radio spectrum, and the detection of a mid-infrared counterpart, are in tension with an Sgr A*-like model for CO-0.40-0.22* despite the comparable bolometric to Eddington luminosity ratios under the IMBH interpretation. A protostellar-disk scenario is, however, tenable. CO-0.40-0.22(*) is associated with an arrowhead-shaped infrared-dark cloud (which we call the Freccia Rossa). Radio-continuum observations reveal a candidate HII region associated with the system. If the $V_{\rm LSR}\approx70$ km s$^{-1}$ systemic velocity of CO-0.40-0.22 is common to the entire Freccia Rossa system, we hypothesise that it is the remnant of a high-velocity cloud that has plunged into the Milky Way from the Galactic halo.

description: The goal of an integrative building design studio is for students to develop and prove the capacity to integrate different technical and possibly legal and financial considerations into their architectural projects. In this context, it is most important for the students to learn how to maintain a clear conceptual strategy that can serve as a ‘pièce de résistance’ against the multitude of different pressures, providing a larger framework for design decisions. This presentation discusses a series of projects where this ‘pièce de résistance’ was based on the design potentials of advanced pre-cast concrete construction. Tectonic concerns, with a focus on structure, construction, and materiality were foregrounded in the studio. Meanwhile, other aspects such as program and building form were intentionally pushed to the background, offering a design methodology where the architectural form and expression emerges from working through the possibilities of the material and construction processes. Throughout the 20th and 21st century concrete has been the main material used in construction.1 Although the use of this material dates back to ancient Rome, it is also a material that has time and time again been adopted and transformed by new technological innovations. Over the last decades, there were extensive improvements in many aspects of concrete technology, such as new mixtures or improvements in reinforcement, which allow for concrete to be stronger, more durable, highly insulating, or even ductile. And the reduction of the cement content, through the use of reactive industrial by-products, such as fly ash or silica fume, provide sizable reduction of the embodied energy in concrete construction.2 To create a framework that allows for material speculations in studio, the students were given very specific parameters for the typology of the building and a focused on prefabrication. Initial excises asked the students to carefully document construction processes in a series of case studies as well as design task to translate an existing joint, at the scale of furniture, into two cement cast pieces. The results of the exercise were then used by the students to develop a building strategy that is constructed ‘from the inside out’, contextualizing the program and the site through the constructive system and formal language that emerged from the translation of their initial studies into a more robust architectural project.

description: A convolution algebra is a topological vector space $\mathcal{X}$ that is closed under the convolution operation. It is said to be inverse-closed if each element of $\mathcal{X}$ whose spectrum is bounded away from zero has a convolution inverse that is also part of the algebra. The theory of discrete Banach convolution algebras is well established with a complete characterization of the weighted $\ell_1$ algebras that are inverse-closed and referred to as the Gelfand-Raikov-Shilov (GRS) spaces. Our starting point here is the observation that the space $\mathcal{S}(\mathbb{Z}^d)$ of rapidly decreasing sequences, {which is not Banach but nuclear}, is an inverse-closed convolution algebra. This property propagates to the more constrained space of exponentially decreasing sequences $\mathcal{E}(\mathbb{Z}^d)$ that we prove to be nuclear as well. Using a recent extended version of the GRS condition, we then show that $\mathcal{E}(\mathbb{Z}^d)$ is actually the smallest inverse-closed convolution algebra. This allows us to describe the hierarchy of the inverse-closed convolution algebras from the smallest, $\mathcal{E}(\mathbb{Z}^d)$, to the largest, $\ell_{1}(\mathbb{Z}^d)$. In addition, we prove that, in contrast to $\mathcal{S}(\mathbb{Z}^d)$, all members of $\mathcal{E}(\mathbb{Z}^d)$ admit well-defined convolution inverses in $\mathcal{S}'(\mathbb{Z}^d)$ with the "unstable" scenario (when some frequencies are vanishing) giving rise to inverse filters with slowly-increasing impulse responses. Finally, we use those results to reveal the decay and reproduction properties of an extended family of cardinal spline interpolants.

description: We study the expectation value of a Polyakov-Maldacena loop that wraps the thermal circle k times in strongly coupled N=4 super Yang-Mills theory. This is achieved by considering probe D3 and D5 brane embeddings in the dual black hole geometry. In contrast to multiply wound spatial Wilson loops, nontrivial dependence on k is captured through D5 branes. We find N^{-2/3} corrections, reminiscent of the scaling behaviour near a Gross-Witten transition.

description: El argentino Miguel Cané, en el año 1881, describía las reuniones sociales de los intelectuales bogotanos de esta manera:
el esprit chispea en la conversación; una mesa es un fuego de artificio constante; el chiste, la ocurrencia, la observación fina, la cuarteta improvisada, la décima escrita al dorso del menú, el aplastamiento de un tipo de frase, la maravillosa facilidad de palabra… no tienen igual en ninguna otra agrupación americana.

description: The computation of Graduate Point Average (GPA) incorrectly assumes that grades are comparable across courses and instructors. GPA overstates the performance of students who elect an “easier” course of study relative to those who choose a more “difficult” course of study. This paper proposes a method of adjusting GPA and applies it to data from one cohort of undergraduates at Carnegie Mellon University. Adjusted GPAs are more highly correlated with students’ high school Grade Point Average and with SAT scores than are the raw GPAs or GPAs adjusted using a prominent alternative method, Item Response Theory. A survey of students finds that the new methods’ estimates of relative course difficulty are consistent with students’ perceptions of relative course difficulty.
Disturbed galaxy clusters are more abundant in an X-ray volume-limited sample

description: We present first strong observational evidence that the X-ray cool-core bias or the apparent bias in the abundance of relaxed clusters is absent in our REFLEX volume-limited sample (ReVols). We show that these previously observed biases are due to the survey selection method such as for an flux-limited survey, and are not due to the inherent nature of X-ray selection. We also find that the X-ray luminosity distributions of clusters for the relaxed and for the disturbed clusters are distinct and a displacement of approximately 60 per cent is required to match two distributions. Our results suggest that to achieve more precise scaling relation one may need to take the morphology of clusters and their fractional abundance into account.

The Harmonic and Sideband Structure of the Kilohertz Quasi-Periodic Oscillations in Sco X-1

description: We use data from the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer to search for harmonics and sidebands of the two simultaneous kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations (kHz QPOs) in Sco X-1. We do not detect any of these harmonics or sidebands, with 95% confidence upper limits to their power between ~ 1% and ~ 10% of the power of the upper kHz QPO. The oscillations produced at these frequencies may be attenuated in a scattering corona around the neutron star. We find that upper limits to the unattenuated power of some of the strongest theoretically predicted harmonics and sidebands are as low as ~ 2% of the unattenuated power of the high-frequency QPO in Sco X-1.

description: Taken from the research-project How to measure a planet?, What I know about high and low is an attempt to find a technical and artistic methodology to expose a possible connection between Geography and Voltage. It is inspired by the extreme contrast between two territories in terms of their topographical characteristics. In this particular case, the geographical differences between Bremen (BRE) and Santiago (SCL). Furthermore, it tries to generate a metaphorical and symbolic bridge of certain territorial characteristics and the electronic concept of voltage. Through this prompted binding, this project finds a way to reflect on how geographical singularities influence our notions, perceptions, and relationship with the environment we inhabit.

description: Optical excitation of the sequential supermolecule H_2P-ZnP-Q induces an electron transfer from the free-base porphyrin (H_2P) to the quinone (Q) via the zinc porphyrin (ZnP). This process is modeled by equations of motion for the reduced density matrix which are solved numerically and approximately analytically. These two solutions agree very well in a great region of parameter space. It is shown that for the majority of solvents the electron transfer occurs with the superexchange mechanism.

description: We report the temperature-pressure-magnetic field phase diagram of the ferromagnetic Kondo-lattice CeTiGe$_3$ determined by means of electrical resistivity measurements. Measurements up to $\sim$ 5.8 GPa reveal a rich phase diagram with multiple phase transitions. At ambient pressure, CeTiGe$_3$ orders ferromagnetically at $T_\text{C}$ = 14 K. Application of pressure suppresses $T_\text{C}$, but a pressure induced ferromagnetic quantum criticality is avoided by the appearance of two new successive transitions for $p$ $>$ 4.1 GPa that are probably antiferromagnetic in nature. These two transitions are suppressed under pressure, with the lower temperature phase being fully suppressed above 5.3 GPa. The critical pressures for the presumed quantum phase transitions are $p_1$ $\cong$ 4.1 GPa and $p_2$ $\cong$ 5.3 GPa. Above 4.1 GPa, application of magnetic field shows a tricritical point evolving into a wing structure phase with a quantum tricritical point at 2.8 T at 5.4 GPa, where the first order antiferromagnetic-ferromagnetic transition changes into the second order antiferromagnetic-ferromagnetic transition.

description: We use the Ginzburg-Landau theory near the transition temperature in order to examine the behavior of an inhomogeneous superconductor in the presence of a magnetic field. We find that a transition from type I to type II superconductivity occurs. Furthermore we calculate the critical value of the mismatch and estimate the contributions of the fluctuations of the condensate and the higher order terms in the Ginzburg-Landau framework.

Spinor Casimir effect for concentric spherical shells in the global monopole spacetime

description: In this paper we investigate the vacuum polarization effects associated with a massive fermionic field due to the non-trivial topology of the global monopole spacetime and boundary conditions imposed on this field. Specifically we investigate the vacuum expectation values of the energy-momentum tensor and fermionic condensate admitting that the field obeys the MIT bag boundary condition on two concentric spherical shells. In order to develop this analysis, we use the generalized Abel-Plana summation, which allows to extract from the vacuum expectation values the contribution coming from a single sphere geometry and to present the second sphere induced part in terms of exponentially convergent integrals. In the limit of strong gravitational field corresponding to small values of the parameter describing the solid angle deficit in global monopole geometry, the interference part in the expectation values are exponentially suppressed. The vacuum forces acting on spheres are presented as the sum of self-action and interaction terms. Due to the surface divergences, the first one is divergent and needs additional renormalization, while the second one is finite for all non-zero distances between the spheres. By making use of zeta function renormalization technique, the total Casimir energy is evaluated in the region between two spheres. It is shown that the interaction part of the vacuum energy is negative and the interaction forces between the spheres are attractive. Asymptotic expressions are derived in various limiting cases. As a special case we discuss the fermionic vacuum densities for two spherical shells on background of the Minkowski spacetime.
