description: We present optical and near-infrared observations of the dim afterglow of GRB 020124, obtained between 2 and 68 hours after the gamma-ray burst. The burst occurred in a very faint (R > 29.5) Damped Ly-alpha Absorber (DLA) at a redshift of z = 3.198 +- 0.004. The derived column density of neutral hydrogen is log(N_H) = 21.7 +- 0.2 and the rest-frame reddening is constrained to be E(B-V) < 0.065, i.e., A_V < 0.20 for standard extinction laws with R_V ~ 3. The resulting dust-to-gas ratio is less than 11 % of that found in the Milky Way, but consistent with the SMC and high-redshift QSO DLAs, indicating a low metallicity and/or a low dust-to-metals ratio in the burst environment. A grey extinction law (large R_V), produced through preferential destruction of small dust grains by the GRB, could increase the derived A_V and dust-to-gas ratio. The dimness of the afterglow is however fully accounted for by the high redshift: If GRB 020124 had been at z = 1 it would have been approximately 1.8 mag brighter--in the range of typical bright afterglows.

description: Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) investigations of brain anatomy in children and young adults with Down syndrome (DS) are limited, with no diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) studies covering that age range. We used DTI-driven tensor based morphometry (DTBM), a novel technique that extracts morphometric information from diffusion data, to investigate brain anatomy in 15 participants with DS and 15 age- and sex-matched typically developing (TD) controls, ages 6–24 years (mean age ~17 years). DTBM revealed marked hypoplasia of cerebellar afferent systems in DS, including fronto-pontine (middle cerebellar peduncle) and olivo-cerebellar (inferior cerebellar peduncle) connections. Prominent gray matter hypoplasia was observed in medial frontal regions, the inferior olives, and the cerebellum. Very few abnormalities were detected by classical diffusion MRI metrics, such as fractional anisotropy and mean diffusivity. Our results highlight the potential importance of cerebro-cerebellar networks in the clinical manifestations of DS and suggest a role for DTBM in the investigation of other brain disorders involving white matter hypoplasia or atrophy.

 Promalactis brevivalva Lvovsky, 2000a: 676. TL: Dolok Merangir, Indonesia.
 Diagnosis (Figures 2a, 3a, 4a, 4 aa,b)
 This species is similar to Promalactis diehli Lvovsky, 2000a in the wing pattern, but it can be easily distinguished by the fore wing without a white medial band. The male genitalia are also close to P. diehli Lvovsky, but it can be distinguished by the shorter and thicker juxta bearing dense hairs caudally, and the cucullus heavily sclerotized and the sacculus with a claviform process.

description: We discuss the possibility to enhance the sensitivity of optical interferometric devices by increasing its open area using an external field gradient that act differently on the two arms of the interfer-ometers. The use of combined electric and magnetic field cancel non linear terms that dephases the interferometer. This is possible using well defined (typically with n $\sim$ 20 Rydberg) states, a magnetic field of few Tesla and an electric field gradient of $\sim$ 10V/cm 2. However this allows only for interaction times on the order of tens of $μ$s leading a reachable accuracy of only 1 or 2 order of magnitude higher than standard light-pulse atom interferometers. Furthermore, the control of fields and states and 3D trajectories puts severe limits to the reachable accuracy. This idea is therefore not suitable for precision measurement but might eventually be used for gravity or neutrality in antimatter studies.
Far Beyond the Planar Limit in Strongly-Coupled $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM

description: When the $SU(N)$ ${\cal N} = 4$ super-Yang-Mills (SYM) theory with complexified gauge coupling $τ$ is placed on a round four-sphere and deformed by an ${\cal N} = 2$-preserving mass parameter $m$, its free energy $F(m, τ, \bar τ)$ can be computed exactly using supersymmetric localization. In this work, we derive a new exact relation between the fourth derivative $\partial_m^4 F(m, τ, \bar τ) \big|_{m=0}$ of the sphere free energy and the integrated stress-tensor multiplet four-point function in the $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM theory. We then apply this exact relation, along with various other constraints derived in previous work (coming from analytic bootstrap, the mixed derivative $\partial_τ\partial_{\bar τ} \partial_m^2 F(m, τ, \bar τ) \big|_{m=0}$, and type IIB superstring theory scattering amplitudes) to determine various perturbative terms in the large $N$ and large 't Hooft coupling $λ$ expansion of the ${\cal N} = 4$ SYM correlator at separated points. In particular, we determine the leading large-$λ$ term in the ${\cal N} = 4$ SYM correlation function at order $1/N^8$. This is three orders beyond the planar limit.

description: We compute the pair production cross section of two Kaluza Klein modes in the Randall-Sundrum model at $e^+e^-$ and hadron hadron colliders. These processes are interesting because they get dominant contribution from the graviton interaction at next to leading order. Hence they provide a nontrivial test of the low scale gravity models. All the Feynman rules at next to leading order are also presented. These rules may be useful for many phenomenological applications including the computation of higher order loop corrections.

Multidimensional smoothness indicators for first-order Hamilton-Jacobi equations

description: The lack of smoothness is a common feature of weak solutions of nonlinear hyperbolic equations and is a crucial issue in their approximation. This has motivated several efforts to define appropriate indicators, based on the values of the approximate solutions, in order to detect the most troublesome regions of the domain. This information helps to adapt the approximation scheme in order to avoid spurious oscillations when using high-order schemes. In this paper we propose a genuinely multidimensional extension of the WENO procedure in order to overcome the limitations of indicators based on dimensional splitting. Our aim is to obtain new regularity indicators for problems in 2D and apply them to a class of ``adaptive filtered'' schemes for first order evolutive Hamilton-Jacobi equations. According to the usual procedure, filtered schemes are obtained by a simple coupling of a high-order scheme and a monotone scheme. The mixture is governed by a filter function $F$ and by a switching parameter $\varepsilon^n=\varepsilon^n({Δt,Δx})>0$ which goes to 0 as $(Δt,Δx)$ is going to 0. The adaptivity is related to the smoothness indicators and allows to tune automatically the switching parameter $\varepsilon^n_j$ in time and space. Several numerical tests on critical situations in 1D and 2D are presented and confirm the effectiveness of the proposed indicators and the efficiency of our scheme.

description: Background: Prior research has revealed positive effects of spatial activity participation (e.g., playing with blocks, sports) on current and future spatial skills. However, research has not examined the degree to which spatial activity participation remains stable over time, and little is known about how participating in spatial activities at multiple points in development impacts spatial thinking. In this study, adolescents completed measures of spatial thinking and questionnaires assessing their current and previous participation in spatial activities. Results: Participation in childhood spatial activities predicted adolescent spatial activity participation, and the relation was stronger for females than for males. Adolescents’ current participation in spatial activities predicted spatial thinking skills, whereas participation in childhood spatial activities predicted adolescents’ spatial habits of mind, even when accounting for factors such as gender and academic performance. No cumulative benefit was incurred due to participating in spatial activities in both childhood and adolescence, and a lack of spatial activities in childhood was not made up for by later spatial activity participation. Conclusions: These findings reveal a consistently positive relationship in spatial activity participation between childhood and adolescence. Results highlight the importance of participating in spatial activities during childhood, and underscore the differential impact that participation in spatial activities during childhood versus adolescence has on different facets of adolescents’ spatial thinking. Implications for the timing of interventions is discussed.

description: A multiwavelength study of the star forming regions associated with IRAS 19111+1048 and IRAS 19110+1045 has been carried out. These have been simultaneously mapped in two far infrared bands at lambda_eff ~ 130 and 200 micron with ~1' angular resolution using the TIFR 1-m balloon borne telescope. The radio emission from the ionised gas of these regions has been imaged at 1280, 610 and 325 MHz using the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope, India. A total of 20 compact radio sources have been detected from the high resolution radio map of IRAS 19111+1048 at 1280 MHz. Assuming these sources to represent exciting zero age main sequence (ZAMS) stars, the initial mass function is found to be quite steep, with the power law index of 5.3+-0.5 for the mass range 14 < m/M_sun < 33. The spectral types of the ZAMS stars inferred independently from the radio and NIR measurements match very well for a good fraction of the radio sources having NIR counterparts. For IRAS 19110+1045 region, seven radio sources have been detected of which two are associated with deeply embedded 2MASS objects. Self consistent radiative transfer modelling aimed at extracting important physical and geometrical details of the two IRAS sources has been carried out. A uniform density distribution of dust and gas is implied for both the sources. The extents of ionised gas, number of ZAMS stars, presence of deeply embedded sources and lower value of L/M for the cloud, support the youth of IRAS 19110+1045 vis-a-vis its neighbour, IRAS 19111+1048, consistent with earlier studies.

Perturbative 4D conformal field theories and representation theory of diagram algebras

description: The correlators of free four dimensional conformal field theories (CFT4) have been shown to be given by amplitudes in two-dimensional $so(4,2)$ equivariant topological field theories (TFT2), by using a vertex operator formalism for the correlators. We show that this can be extended to perturbative interacting conformal field theories, using two representation theoretic constructions. A co-product deformation for the conformal algebra accommodates the equivariant construction of composite operators in the presence of non-additive anomalous dimensions. Explicit expressions for the co-product deformation are given within a sector of $ \mathcal{N} =4 $ SYM and for the Wilson-Fischer fixed point near four dimensions. The extension of conformal equivariance beyond integer dimensions (relevant for the Wilson-Fischer fixed point) leads to the definition of an associative diagram algebra $ {\bf U}_{*} $, abstracted from $ Uso(d)$ in the limit of large integer $d$, which admits extension of $ Uso(d)$ representation theory to general real (or complex) $d$. The algebra is related, via oscillator realisations, to $so(d)$ equivariant maps and Brauer category diagrams. Tensor representations are constructed where the diagram algebra acts on tensor products of a fundamental diagram representation. A similar diagrammatic algebra ${\bf U}_{\star ,2}$, related to a general $d$ extension for $ Uso(d,2)$ is defined, and some of its lowest weight representations relevant to the Wilson-Fischer fixed point are described.

description: The IKKT matrix model is a promising candidate for a nonperturbative formulation of superstring theory, in which spacetime is conjectured to emerge dynamically from the microscopic matrix degrees of freedom in the large-$N$ limit. Indeed in the Lorentzian version, Monte Carlo studies suggested the emergence of (3+1)-dimensional expanding space-time. Here we study the Euclidean version instead, and investigate an alternative scenario for dynamical compactification of extra dimensions via the spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) of 10D rotational symmetry. We perform numerical simulations based on the complex Langevin method (CLM) in order to avoid a severe sign problem. Furthermore, in order to avoid the singular-drift problem in the CLM, we deform the model and determine the SSB pattern as we vary the deformation parameter. From these results, we conclude that the original model has an SO(3) symmetric vacuum, which is consistent with previous results obtained by the Gaussian expansion method (GEM). We also apply the GEM to the deformed matrix model and find consistency with the results obtained by the CLM.

description: We show that an angular analysis of B --> V1 V2 decays yields numerous tests for new physics in the decay amplitudes. Unlike direct CP asymmetries, many of these new-physics observables are nonzero even if the strong phase differences vanish. For certain observables, neither time-dependent measurements nor tagging is necessary. Should a signal for new physics be found, one can place a lower limit on the size of the new-physics parameters, as well as on their effect on the measurement of the phase of B0--Bbar0 mixing.

description: It is well known that building analytical performance models in practice is difficult because it requires a considerable degree of proficiency in the underlying mathematics. In this paper, we propose a machine-learning approach to derive performance models from data. We focus on queuing networks, and crucially exploit a deterministic approximation of their average dynamics in terms of a compact system of ordinary differential equations. We encode these equations into a recurrent neural network whose weights can be directly related to model parameters. This allows for an interpretable structure of the neural network, which can be trained from system measurements to yield a white-box parameterized model that can be used for prediction purposes such as what-if analyses and capacity planning. Using synthetic models as well as a real case study of a load-balancing system, we show the effectiveness of our technique in yielding models with high predictive power.

Publisher: name: American University

description: While there has been a significant amount of research covering the causes of merger waves, few papers have rank ordered merger waves based on the causes nor sought to determine which rationale leads to higher bidder payouts. This paper seeks to fill this gap by examining a cross section of large, global mergers across most industries occurring over a 17 year period. I find that merger waves over this period are caused foremost by changing economic and regulatory conditions. It is the behavioral rationale of mispricing, however, that more often leads to higher bidder payouts or merger premiums among acquirers in merger waves.

description: Optical second-harmonic generation (SHG) in SrTi16O3 (STO16) and SrTi18O3 (STO18) was investigated using the SHG microscope. While no-biased STO16 exhibits weak and almost temperature-independent SHG signals, a marked SHG is observed under the electric field in the quantum paraelectric region. In STO18, strong SHG signals appear spontaneously below 36K. However, neutron and X-ray diffraction analyses indicate that no structural change appears at low temperature in STO18, and STO16 under the electric field. By taking into account the fact that the SHG is sensitive to the local polar-order, the combined studies reveals that the long-range order of polar phase does not develop on the both crystals and is frozen in local regions.

description: Using AdS/CFT an extended first law of entanglement has been previously derived for the vacuum reduced to a ball in Minkowski. The statement not only includes perturbations of the state but also of the conformal field theory (CFT), via variations of the generalized central charge. We clarify some subtleties previously overlooked and use simple arguments to generalize prior derivations to arbitrary gravity theories in the bulk as well as new regions in the boundary CFT. Our construction also applies to two-dimensional bulk theories and admits an interesting extension for a three-dimensional bulk, providing a curious result regarding the thermodynamic volume in extended black hole thermodynamics. We discuss future prospects regarding the extended first law of entanglement.

description: While there has been a significant amount of research covering the causes of merger waves, few papers have rank ordered merger waves based on the causes nor sought to determine which rationale leads to higher bidder payouts. This paper seeks to fill this gap by examining a cross section of large, global mergers across most industries occurring over a 17 year period. I find that merger waves over this period are caused foremost by changing economic and regulatory conditions. It is the behavioral rationale of mispricing, however, that more often leads to higher bidder payouts or merger premiums among acquirers in merger waves.

description: We study marginal deformations of B-type D-branes in Landau-Ginzburg orbifolds. The general setup of matrix factorizations allows for exact computations of F-term equations in the low-energy effective theory which are much simpler than in a corresponding geometric description. We present a number of obstructed and unobstructed examples in detail, including one in which a closed string modulus is obstructed by the presence of D-branes. In a certain example, we find a non-trivial global structure of the BRST operator on the moduli space of branes.

description: Finite-temperature spin transport in the quantum Heisenberg spin chain is known to be superdiffusive, and has been conjectured to lie in the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) universality class. Using a kinetic theory of transport, we compute the KPZ coupling strength for the Heisenberg chain as a function of temperature, directly from microscopics; the results agree well with density-matrix renormalization group simulations. We establish a rigorous quantum-classical correspondence between the "giant quasiparticles" that govern superdiffusion and solitons in the classical continuous Landau-Lifshitz ferromagnet. We conclude that KPZ universality has the same origin in classical and quantum integrable isotropic magnets: a finite-temperature gas of low-energy classical solitons.

description: This study aimed at determining the mediating effect of firm competence on the relationship between dynamic capabilities and performance. The study was founded on positivism philosophy and adopted an explanatory and exploratory research design. The population of the study comprised of 70 food manufacturing firms in, Kenya. Stratified random sampling method was used to identify a sample of 295 respondents. A semi-structured self-administered questionnaire was used to collect primary data. Prior to data collection, a pilot study was conducted to ensure reliability of the questionnaire. The reported findings were obtained from 190 respondents who were senior managers in the respondent firms responsible for finance, human resources, operations marketing and corporate relations. Measures of central tendency including the mean and standard deviation were used to summarize the variable characteristics Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics. Multiple regression analysis was used to test the study hypotheses. The findings of the study showed that dynamic capabilities have a significant direct effect on performance and that the effect of dynamic capabilities on performance is partially mediated by firm competence. The findings also showed that firm competence has a direct and significant effect on performance also that dynamic capabilities can partially mediate the effect of firm competence on firm performance.

description: The lack of comprehensive monitoring equipment in low voltage (LV) residential feeders, impedes a near-term deployment of centralized schemes for the integration of domestic-scale distributed generation (DG). In this context, this paper introduces a technique that generates a set of fitted polynomials, derived from offline simulations and regression analysis, that characterise the magnitude of representative network variables (i.e. key for network operation) as a direct analytical expression of the controllable local conditions of any DG unit (i.e. active and reactive power injections). Crucially, the coefficients of these polynomials can be estimated, autonomously at the location of each DG unit, without the need for remote monitoring (i.e. using only locally available measurements). During online implementation, the method consists only of direct calculations (i.e. non-iterative), facilitating real-time operation. The accuracy of the polynomials to estimate the magnitude of the network variables is assessed under multiple scenarios on a representative radial LV feeder. Furthermore, the robustness of the method is demonstrated under the presence of new generation and electric vehicles.

description: We examine the relationship between environment and the luminosities, surface brightnesses, colors, and profile shapes of luminous galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). For the SDSS sample, galaxy color is the galaxy property most predictive of the local environment. Galaxy color and luminosity jointly comprise the most predictive pair of properties. At fixed luminosity and color, density is not closely related to surface brightness or to Sersic index -- the parameter in this study that astronomers most often associate with morphology. In the text, we discuss what measureable residual relationships exist, generally finding that at red colors and fixed luminosity, the mean density decreases at the highest surface brightnesses and Sersic indices. In general, these results suggest that the morphological properties of galaxies are less closely related to galaxy environment than are their masses and star-formation histories.

description: The Consumer Panel of Australia data collected by The Roy Morgan Research Centre is used to investigate the determinants of brand choice behavior in the laundry detergent market. To reduce potential problems of heterogeneity in the market all purchases of the eleven leading brands in the Melbourne metropolitan area over the period July 1992 to June 1993 are considered. The purchases over this period are divided into an estimation sample and a holdout sample. A mixed Logit model is then fitted using the estimation sample. Price, brand loyalty, household size and household income are found to be significant in explaining brand choice behavior. A test for the, potentially restrictive, property of Independence of Irrelevant Alternatives (IA) is carried out and it is found that IIA is acceptable for this data. The model appears to fit well and estimated elasticities are presented. The estimated model is then validated using the holdout sample. It is found that the model is very good at predicting the brand choices made by consumers in the holdout sample.

description: This paper is concerned with model selection based on penalized maximized log likelihood functions. Its main emphasis is on how these penalties might be chosen in small samples to give good statistical properties. We explore how some of the more successful principles and practices in hypothesis testing can be used to improve the properties of these model selection procedures. This leads to choosing the penalties in order to control probabilities of different models being selected. Various ways this can be achieved using simulation methods are discussed and a computer algorithm is outlined. Some illustrative Monte Carlo simulations are also reported.

On the origin of black hole X-ray emission in quiescence: Chandra observations of XTE J1550-564 and H 1743-322

description: We report the results of observations of the black hole binaries XTE J1550-564 and H 1743-322 in their quiescent state using the Chandra X-ray Observatory. Both sources are detected at their faintest level of X-ray emission ever observed with a 0.5-10 keV unabsorbed luminosity of 2 $\times$ 10$^{32}$ (d/5 kpc)$^2$ erg s$^{-1}$ for XTE J1550-564 and 9 $\times$ 10$^{31}$ (d/8 kpc)$^2$ erg s$^{-1}$ for H 1743-322. These luminosities are in the upper range compared to the faintest levels observed in other black hole systems, possibly related to residual accretion for these sources with frequent outbursts. For XTE J1550-564, the Chandra observations also constrain the X-ray spectrum as a fit with an absorbed power-law model yields a photon index of 2.25 $\pm$ 0.08, clearly indicating a softening of the X-ray spectrum at lower luminosities compared to the standard hard state. Similar softening at low luminosity is seen for several black hole transients with orbital periods less than 60 hours. Most of the current models of accreting black holes are able to reproduce such softening in quiescence. In contrast, we find that systems with orbital periods longer than 60 hours appear to have hard spectra in quiescence and their behaviour may be consistent with hardening in quiescence.

description: A Bayesian approach is presented for nonparametric estimation of an additive regression model with autocorrelated errors. Each of the potentially nonlinear components is modelled as a regression spline using many knots, while the errors are modelled by a high order stationary autoregressive process parameterised in terms of its autocorrelations. The distribution of significant knots and partial autocorrelations is accounted for using subset selection. Our approach also allows the selection of a suitable transformation of the dependent variable. All aspects of the model are estimated simultaneously using Markov chain Monte Carlo. It is shown empirically that the proposed approach works well on a number of simulated and real examples.
Goal-Oriented Error Estimation for the Automatic Variationally Stable FE Method for Convection-Dominated Diffusion Problems
Creators: name: Valseth, Eirik

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)

description: We present goal-oriented a posteriori error estimates for the automatic variationally stable finite element (AVS FE) method for scalar-valued convection-diffusion problems. The AVS-FE method is a Petrov-Galerkin method in which the test space is broken, whereas the trial space consists of classical FE basis functions, e.g., C0 or Raviart Thomas functions. We employ the concept of optimal test functions of the discontinuous Petrov Galerkin (DPG) method by Demkowicz and Gopalakrishnan, leading to unconditionally stable FE approximations. Remarkably, by using C0 or Raviart Thomas trial spaces, the optimal discontinuous test functions can be computed in a completely decoupled element by element fashion. To establish the error estimators we present two approaches: i) following the classical approach of Becker and Rannacher, i.e., the dual solution is sought in the (broken) test space, and ii) introducing an alternative approach in which we seek C0, or Raviart Thomas, AVS FE approximations of the dual solution by using the underlying strong form of the dual boundary value problem (BVP). Various numerical verifications for 2D convection-dominated diffusion BVPs show that the estimates of the approximation error by the new alternative method are highly accurate, while the classical approach leads to error estimates of poor quality. Lastly, we present an algorithm for h adaptive processes based on control of the numerical approximation error via the new alternative approach. Numerical verifications show that the estimator maintains high accuracy as the error converges to zero.
