description: Anthropogenic noise caused by human activities is nowadays considered as a widespread global problem. The range and diversity of human-induced sounds from the past decades have contributed to the development of urbanization, human population growth, climate change and climate change, economic growth, industrial development, and the development of maritime transport modes in terrestrial and aquatic environments. Recent studies have shown that the negative effects of sound sources affect a wide range of animals at different stages of their biological life. The sounds produced by recreational boats and commercial ships are one of the main sources of sound that has become widespread in ocean and marine environments, and is nowadays the world's most important source of contamination in marine ecosystems. Local and regional sources of noise pollution have the potential to cause a significant impact on habitats and animal communities. The study of the characteristics of biology of fish and other aquatic species, especially endangered breeding and native species, is essential for the effective and sustainable management of populations and the assessment of biological diversity. The purpose of this document is to address that anthropogenic sound sources can cause environmental pollution and subsequently affect fish species and aquatic communities in this case: a vertebrate species (European migratory eel) and an invertebrate species (coastal crab) in marine environments.

description: The transmission of forces through a disordered granular system is studied by means of a geometrical-topological approach that reduces the granular packing into a set of layers. This layered structure constitutes the skeleton through which the force chains set up. Given the granular packing, and the region where the force is applied, such a skeleton is uniquely defined. Within this framework, we write an equation for the transmission of the vertical forces that can be solved recursively layer by layer. We find that a special class of analytical solutions for this equation are Lévi-stable distributions. We discuss the link between criticality and fragility and we show how the disordered packing naturally induces the formation of force-chains and arches. We point out that critical regimes, with power law distributions, are associated with the roughness of the topological layers. Whereas, fragility is associated with local changes in the force network induced by local granular rearrangements or by changes in the applied force. The results are compared with recent experimental observations in particulate matter and with computer simulations.

High-precision asteroseismology in Slowly Pulsating B star: HD 50230

Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: SPB star HD 50230, in fact a hybrid B-type pulsator, has been observed by CoRoT least 137 days. A nearly equidistant period spacing pattern are found among 8 modes which are extracted from the oscillation spectrum with more than 500 frequencies. However, it is thought to be most likely accidental by Szewczuk et al. (2014). In the present work, we analyze the 8 modes in depth with the $χ^2$-matching method. Based on the best fitting model (model MA), we find that they can be well explained as a sequences of consecutive dipolar $(l,~m)=(1,~0)$. The period discrepancies between observations and the best fitting model are within 100 s except for the outlier which is up to 300 s. Based on the calculated CMMs, we find that, for pure g-mode oscillations, the buoyancy radius $Λ_{0}$ can be precisely measured with the $χ^2$-matching method between observations and calculations. It represents the "Propagation time" of the g-mode from stellar surface to center. It is of $Λ_{0}=245.78\pm0.59~μ$Hz with a precision of 0.24\%. In addition, we also find that HD 50230 is a metal-rich ($Z_{\rm init}=0.034-0.043$) star with a mass of $M=6.15-6.27~{\rm M_{\odot}}$. It is still located on hydrogen-burning phase with central hydrogen $X_{\rm C}=0.298-0.316$ (or $X_{\rm C}=0.306^{+0.010}_{-0.008}$), therefore has a convective core with a radius of $R_{\rm cc}=0.525-0.536~{\rm R_{\odot}}$ (or $R_{\rm cc}=0.531^{+0.005}_{-0.006}~{\rm R_{\odot}}$). In order to well interpret the structure of observed period spacing pattern, the convective core overshooting ($f_{\rm ov}=0.0175-0.0200$) and the extra diffusion mixing ($\log D_{\rm mix}=3.7-3.9$) should be taken into account in theoretical models.

The model is defined on small-world networks, and a ring vaccination programme is included. This model can be a theoretical explanation for the nonlocal interactions in epidemic spreading. Ring vaccination is capable of eradicating FMD provided that the probability of infection is high enough. Also an analytical approximation for this model is studied.

description: We numerically analyse quantum survival probability fluctuations in an open, classically chaotic system. In a quasi-classical regime, and in the presence of classical mixed phase space, such fluctuations are believed to exhibit a fractal pattern, on the grounds of semiclassical arguments. In contrast, we work in a classical regime of complete chaoticity, and in a deep quantum regime of strong localization. We provide evidence that fluctuations are still fractal, due to the slow, purely quantum algebraic decay in time produced by dynamical localization. Such findings considerably enlarge the scope of the existing theory.

description: Pose estimation is one of the most important problems in computer vision. It can be divided in two different categories -- absolute and relative -- and may involve two different types of camera models: central and non-central. State-of-the-art methods have been designed to solve separately these problems. This paper presents a unified framework that is able to solve any pose problem by alternating optimization techniques between two set of parameters, rotation and translation. In order to make this possible, it is necessary to define an objective function that captures the problem at hand. Since the objective function will depend on the rotation and translation it is not possible to solve it as a simple minimization problem. Hence the use of Alternating Minimization methods, in which the function will be alternatively minimized with respect to the rotation and the translation. We show how to use our framework in three distinct pose problems. Our methods are then benchmarked with both synthetic and real data, showing their better balance between computational time and accuracy.

description: We report a 72 ks XMM-Newton observation of the Be/X-ray pulsar (BeXRP) RX J0812.4-3114 in quiescence ($L_X \approx 1.6 \times 10^{33}~\mathrm{erg~s^{-1}}$). Intriguingly, we find a two component spectrum, with a hard power-law ($Γ\approx 1.5$) and a soft blackbody-like excess below $\approx 1~\mathrm{keV}$. The blackbody component is consistent in $kT$ with a prior quiescent Chandra observation reported by Tsygankov et al. and has an inferred blackbody radius of $\approx 10~\mathrm{km}$, consistent with emission from the entire neutron star (NS) surface. There is also mild evidence for an absorption line at $\approx 1~\mathrm{keV}$ and/or $\approx 1.4~\mathrm{keV}$. The hard component shows pulsations at $P \approx 31.908~\mathrm{s}$ (pulsed fraction $0.84 \pm 0.10$), agreeing with the pulse period seen previously in outbursts, but no pulsations were found in the soft excess (pulsed fraction $\lesssim 31\%$). We conclude that the pulsed hard component suggests low-level accretion onto the neutron star poles, while the soft excess seems to originate from the entire NS surface. We speculate that, in quiescence, the source switches between a soft thermal-dominated state (when the propeller effect is at work) and a relatively hard state with low-level accretion, and use the propeller cutoff to estimate the magnetic field of the system to be $\lesssim 8.4 \times 10^{11}~\mathrm{G}$. We compare the quiescent thermal $L_X$ predicted by the standard deep crustal heating model to our observations and find that RX J0812.4-3114 has a high thermal $L_X$, at or above the prediction for minimum cooling mechanisms. This suggests that RX J0812.4-3114 either contains a relatively low-mass NS with minimum cooling, or that the system may be young enough that the NS has not fully cooled from the supernova explosion.

description: The shape of an electronic droplet in the quantum Hall effect is sensitive to gradients of the magnetic field, even if they are placed outside the droplet. Magnetic impurities cause a fingering instability of the edge of the droplet, similar to the Saffman-Taylor fingering instability of an interface between two immiscible phases. We discuss the fingering instability and some algebraic aspects of the electronic states in a strong nonuniform field.

description: Let $\mathcal{H}$ be an infinite dimensional real or complex separable Hilbert space. We introduce a special type of a bounded linear operator $T$ and its important relation with invariant subspace problem on $\mathcal{H}$: operator $T$ is said to be is subspace convex-cyclic for a subspace $\mathcal{M}$, if there exists a vector whose orbit under $T$ intersects the subspace $\mathcal{M}$ in a relatively dense set. We give the sufficient condition for a subspace convex-cyclic transitive operator $T$ to be subspace convex-cyclic. We also give a special type of Kitai criterion related to invariant subspaces which implies subspace convex-cyclicity. We conclude showing a counterexample of a subspace convex-cyclic operator which is not subspace convex-cyclic transitive.

description: We study airplane boarding in the limit of large number of passengers using geometric optics in a Lorentzian metric. The airplane boarding problem is naturally embedded in a 1+1 dimensional space-time with a flat Lorentzian metric. The duration of the boarding process can be calculated based on a representation of the one-dimensional queue of passengers attempting to reach their seats, into a two-dimensional space-time diagram. The ability of a passenger to delay other passengers depends on their queue positions and row designations. This is equivalent to the causal relationship between two events in space-time, whereas two passengers are time-like separated if one is blocking the other, and space-like if both can be seated simultaneously. Geodesics in this geometry can be utilized to compute the asymptotic boarding time, since space-time geometry is the many-particle (passengers) limit of airplane boarding. Our approach naturally leads to a novel definition of an effective refractive index. The introduction of an effective refractive index enables, for the first time, an analytical calculation of the average boarding time for groups of passengers with different aisle-clearing time distribution. In the past, airline companies attempted to shorten the boarding times by trying boarding policies that either allow slow or fast passengers to board first. Our analytical calculations, backed by discrete-event simulations, support the counter-intuitive result that the total boarding time is shorter with the slow passengers boarding before the fast passengers. This is a universal result, valid for any combination of the parameters that characterize the problem --- percentage of slow passengers, ratio between aisle-clearing times between the fast and the slow groups, and the density of passengers along the aisle. We find an improvement of up to 28% compared with the Fast-First boarding policy.

description: The lepton helicity distributions in the polarized Drell-Yan process at RHIC energy are investigated. In the absence of the weak interaction, only the measurement of lepton helicity can prove the antisymmetric part of the hadronic tensor. Therefore it might be interesting to consider the helicity distributions of leptons to obtain more information on the structure of nucleon from the polarized Drell-Yan process. We estimate the QCD corrections at ${\cal O} (α_s)$ level to the hadronic tensor including both intermediate $γ$ and $Z$ bosons. We report the numerical analyses on the $Z$ pole and show that the $u (\bar{u})$ and $d (\bar{d})$ quarks give different and characteristic contributions to the lepton helicity distributions. We also estimate the lepton helicity asymmetry for the various proton's spin configurations.

description: The subtitle of this paper should be " How recession and federal devolution have caused local governments to cut services and raise property taxes --now, what should be done in response to the resulting clamor for local government consolidation?" Housing drives local government services. Home sales represent opportunities for more income and more costs. Intergovernmental competition for tax base and the role of state and federal aid to provide equity between jurisdictions are central to the quality of the results. Recent cuts in sales taxes, plus reductions in state and federal assistance are transmitted to the voters through increases in the property tax. This has produced a reaction -consolidate! But that is advice urged and largely ignored since Woodrow Wilson included it in an 1895 textbook. To go beyond this conventional wisdom be sure to add some complementary ideas. Small governments may be at a disadvantage in producing some services, but they should have an advantage in representing preferences and that should not be overlooked. Different services will be best produced by different configurations of cooperating local governments. Thus take a service by service approach and look for the best of the many ways available to implement intergovernmental cooperation. Research suggests you may not cut expenditures much, but you will probably get better services. Get organized for a regional approach and do some strategic planning. Besides looking inward for reform opportunities, look outside as well. Local governments have to take responsibility for coordination of the many agencies at higher levels of government that are involved in any particular type of service or it won't happen. Local officials have to bring a sharp focus on their problems. This means working through state associations with other local governments that have the same problems, and learning to lobby more effectively. A policy education approach by the housing and home building network is suggested.

description: The contemporary agrifood sectors have witnessed a rapid increase in the use of intangibles, i.e. inputs built upon information, knowledge and communication assets. Consequently firms, in their move towards competitiveness, try to innovate in line with these trends. Innovations in agrifood sectors were traditionally focused around new products and new technologies, and often seen as incremental. Innovations based upon intangibles need a broader view of what is innovation, especially in the context of food SMEs. Indeed food SMEs, which roles in the structuration and dynamism of the food economy in Europe is crucial, have at the same time difficulties and limitations in their innovativeness capacity for intangibles. The main objective of the communication is to better understand the conditions and processes of such innovations from a micro analytical point of view, centered on small and medium enterprises. The research is focused on one type of organizational innovation, the adoption of food quality standards. The communication is structured as follows. In a first part (1) we characterize such innovations in food sectors around two core features: the identification of what is at stake, in terms of resources, competences and structures, when a company adopts such an innovation; and the identification of consequences such an adoption will have in terms of behavior of this company towards its environment. In a second part (2) we suggest addressing this question of innovation adoption through a methodology called social network analysis (hereafter SNA), or structural analysis of networks. This methodology is well appropriated to cope with the complexity and the micro/meso interactions that are essential features for the understanding of quality standard adoption. Then a syncretic analytical framework (3) is proposed, applied to a specific case study of a French food SME adopting an ISO 22000 standard (4). Discussion and concluding comments follow (5).

description: It was known that the U$(N)^4$ super Chern-Simons matrix model describing the worldvolume theory of D3-branes with two NS5-branes and two $(1,k)$5-branes in IIB brane configuration (dual to M2-branes after taking the T-duality and the M-theory lift) corresponds to the $D_5$ quantum curve. For deformations of these two objects, on one hand the super Chern-Simons matrix model has three degrees of freedom (of relative rank deformations interpreted as fractional branes in brane configurations), while on the other hand the $D_5$ curve has five degrees of freedom (characterized by point configurations of asymptotic values). To identify the three-dimensional parameter space of brane configurations in the five-dimensional space of point configurations, we propose the necessity to cut the compact T-duality circle (or the circular quiver diagram) open, which is similar to the idea of "fixing a reference frame" or "fixing a local chart". Since the parameter space of curves enjoys the $D_5$ Weyl group beautifully, we are naturally led to conjecture that M2-branes are not only deformed by fractional branes but more obscure geometrical backgrounds.

description: The study evaluates the effectiveness of a catastrophic drought-index insurance developed by applying two alternative methods - the standard regression analysis and the copula approach. Most empirical analyses obtain estimates of the dependence of crop yields on weather by employing linear regression. By doing so, they assume that the sensitivity of yields to weather remains constant over the whole distribution of the weather variable and can be captured by the effect of the weather index on the yield conditional mean. In our study we evaluate, whether the prediction of farm yield losses can be done more accurately by conditioning yields on extreme realisations of a weather index. Therefore, we model the dependence structure between yields and weather by employing the copula approach. Our preliminary results suggests that the use of copulas might be a more adequate way to design and rate weather-based insurance against extreme events.

description: Vortices in a narrow superconducting strip with a square array of pinning sites are studied. The interactions of vortices with other vortices and with external sources (applied magnetic field and transport current) are calculated via a screened Coulomb model. The edge barrier is taken into account and shown to have an important role on the system dynamics. Numerical simulations in this approach show that the field dependent magnetic moment presents peaks corresponding to history dependent configurations of the vortex lattice. Some effects of the edge barrier on the I-V characteristics are also reported.

description: In chaotic reaction-diffusion systems with two degrees of freedom, the modes governing the exponential relaxation to the thermodynamic equilibrium present a fractal structure which can be characterized by a Hausdorff dimension. For long wavelength modes, this dimension is related to the Lyapunov exponent and to a reactive diffusion coefficient. This relationship is tested numerically on a reactive multibaker model and on a two-dimensional periodic reactive Lorentz gas. The agreement with the theory is excellent.

description: The plane-wave decomposition method (PWDM), a widely used means of numerically finding eigenstates of the Helmholtz equation in billiard systems is described as a variant of the mathematically well-established boundary integral method (BIM). A new unified framework encompassing the two methods is discussed. Furthermore, a third numerical method, which we call the Gauge Freedom Method (GFM) is derived from the BIM equations. This opens the way to further improvements in eigenstate search techniques.

description: Recent nuclear magnetic resonance studies [A. Pustogow {\it et al.}, arXiv:1904.00047] have challenged the prevalent chiral triplet pairing scenario proposed for Sr$_2$RuO$_4$. To provide guidance from microscopic theory as to which other pair states might be compatible with the new data, we perform a detailed theoretical study of spin-fluctuation mediated pairing for this compound. We map out the phase diagram as a function of spin-orbit coupling, interaction parameters, and band-structure properties over physically reasonable ranges, comparing when possible with photoemission and inelastic neutron scattering data information. We find that even-parity pseudospin singlet solutions dominate large regions of the phase diagram, but in certain regimes spin-orbit coupling favors a near-nodal odd-parity triplet superconducting state, which is either helical or chiral depending on the proximity of the $γ$ band to the van Hove points. A surprising near-degeneracy of the nodal $s^\prime$- and $d_{x^2-y^2}$-wave solutions leads to the possibility of a near-nodal time-reversal symmetry broken $s^\prime+id_{x^2-y^2}$ pair state. Predictions for the temperature dependence of the Knight shift for fields in and out of plane are presented for all states.
