description: En este documento, las instalaciones de calibración para llaves dinamométricas se denominan también dispositivos de calibración de llaves dinamométricas (o brevemente dispositivo de calibración). Esta directriz se aplica para calibrar instalaciones de calibración para llaves dinamométricas mediante llaves de transferencia de par de torsión sirviendo como patrones de transferencia y respalda los requisitos correspondientes de la norma DIN EN ISO 6789. Se describe un procedimiento para determinar la incertidumbre relativa de estos dispositivos. Esta directriz excluye la utilización de barras y discos de calibración de longitud fija como patrones de transferencia, dado que con estos instrumentos no es posible determinar el parámetro span (alcance) a diferentes longitudes de brazo de palanca - y, por lo tanto, la realización de una calibración adecuada o la determinación correcta de la incertidumbre tampoco es posible. En el contexto de la presente directriz, las instalaciones de calibración para llaves dinamométricas son instrumentos especiales de medición de par de torsión que, por su diseño, permiten introducir el par de torsión mediante un instrumento de medición de par de torsión con brazo de palanca. Esta directriz tiene en cuenta las condiciones diferentes de aplicación de la fuerza sobre el objeto a calibrar respecto a las de los instrumentos de medición de par de torsión según la norma DIN 51309. Una vez encendidos, los dispositivos de calibración en los que la supresión o dispersión del cero integrada no pueda desconectarse durante la calibración no deben apagarse y encenderse de nuevo a efectos del taraje durante todo el proceso de calibración. Esto sólo se permite si la documentación técnica del fabricante exige un tarado adicional durante la aplicación del dispositivo. Los instrumentos que sólo pueden registrar valores picos no se consideran calibrables según la presente directiva. Bajo el término instalación de calibración para llaves dinamométricas se entiende el dispositivo en su totalidad, es decir la instalación completa desde el transductor de par hasta la unidad de indicación. La fecha de puesta en aplicación de la presente directriz es el 1 de marzo de 2020. Paralelamente, la directriz DKD-R 3-8 (edición 09/2018) seguirá siendo aplicable hasta el 28 de febrero de 2022. En el caso de que esta directriz se utilice junto con la directriz DKD-R 3-7 (edición 09/2018) - es decir, si un dispositivo de medición calibrado según DKD-R 10-8 (edición 02/2020) debe constituir la base de las calibraciones según DKD-R 3-7 (edición 09/2018) - la histéresis del dispositivo de calibración debe incluirse en el presupuesto de incertidumbre según DKD-R 10-8.

description: Recently, the motion averaging method has been introduced as an effective means to solve the multi-view registration problem. This method aims to recover global motions from a set of relative motions, where the original method is sensitive to outliers due to using the Frobenius norm error in the optimization. Accordingly, this paper proposes a novel robust motion averaging method based on the maximum correntropy criterion (MCC). Specifically, the correntropy measure is used instead of utilizing Frobenius norm error to improve the robustness of motion averaging against outliers. According to the half-quadratic technique, the correntropy measure based optimization problem can be solved by the alternating minimization procedure, which includes operations of weight assignment and weighted motion averaging. Further, we design a selection strategy of adaptive kernel width to take advantage of correntropy. Experimental results on benchmark data sets illustrate that the new method has superior performance on accuracy and robustness for multi-view registration.

On the Impact of Random Residual Calibration Error on the Gibbs ILC Estimates over Large Angular Scales

description: Residual error in calibration coefficients corresponding to observed CMB maps is an important issue while estimating a pure CMB signal. A component separation method, if these errors in the input foreground contaminated CMB maps are not properly taken into account, may lead to bias in the cleaned CMB map and estimated CMB angular power spectrum. But the inability to exactly determine the calibration coefficients corresponding to each observed CMB map from any CMB experiment makes it very difficult to incorporate their exact and actual values in a component separation analysis. Hence the effect of any random and residual calibration error on the cleaned CMB map and its angular power spectrum of a component separation problem can only be understood by performing detailed Monte Carlo simulations. In this paper, we investigate the impact of using input foreground contaminated CMB maps with random calibration errors on posterior density of cleaned CMB map and theoretical CMB angular power spectrum over large angular scales of the sky following the Gibbs ILC method proposed by \cite{Sudevan:2018qyj}. By performing detailed Monte Carlo simulations of WMAP and Planck temperature anisotropy observations with calibration errors compatible with them we show that the best-fit map corresponding to posterior maximum is minimally biased in Gibbs ILC method by a CMB normalization bias and residual foreground bias. The bias in best-fit CMB angular power spectrum with respect to the case where no calibration error is present are $\sim 28 μK^2$ and $-4.7 μK^2$ respectively between $2 \le \ell \le 15$ and $16 \le \ell \le 32$. The calibration error induced error in best-fit power spectrum causes an overall $6\%$ increase of the net error when added in quadrature with the cosmic variance induced error.

Disordered, Spin Liquid and Valence-Bond Ordered Phases of the Kagome Lattice Quantum Ising Models With Transverse Field and XXZ Dynamics

Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)

description: General conditions in which disordered, spin liquid, and valence-bond ordered phases occur in quantum Ising antiferromagnets are studied using the prototype Kagome lattice spin models. A range of quantum dynamical processes in the Ising model, with and without total Ising spin conserved, are analytically shown to yield all three characteristic quantum paramagnetic phases in the Kagome system. Special emphasis is given to the XXZ model that can be sensibly compared to the Kagome lattice Heisenberg antiferromagnet. It is explicitly demonstrated that the total-spin-conserving dynamics can yield a resonant valence bond (RVB) liquid phase with very short-ranged correlations, but also a valence-bond ordered phase compatible with the one proposed to explain the seemingly gapless singlet states of the Heisenberg antiferromagnet on the Kagome lattice. Likely consequences for generic spin models are discussed. The analysis combines compact U(1) gauge theory, duality transformations, lattice-field-theoretical methods, and variational approach.

In the scenario of a one-bubble universe model we determine and characterize the existence of the Coleman-De Lucia instanton, together with the period of inflation after tunnelling has occurred. Our results are analogous to those found in the Einstein General Relativity models.

description: Existing deep hashing approaches fail to fully explore semantic correlations and neglect the effect of linguistic context on visual attention learning, leading to inferior performance. This paper proposes a dual-stream learning framework, dubbed Deep Collaborative Discrete Hashing (DCDH), which constructs a discriminative common discrete space by collaboratively incorporating the shared and individual semantics deduced from visual features and semantic labels. Specifically, the context-aware representations are generated by employing the outer product of visual embeddings and semantic encodings. Moreover, we reconstruct the labels and introduce the focal loss to take advantage of frequent and rare concepts. The common binary code space is built on the joint learning of the visual representations attended by language, the semantic-invariant structure construction and the label distribution correction. Extensive experiments demonstrate the superiority of our method.

description: We report the detection of multiple components of X-ray emission from the two FR-II radio galaxies 3C 223 and 3C 284, based on new XMM-Newton observations. We attribute the detected X-ray emission from the lobes of both sources to inverse-Compton scattering of cosmic microwave background photons. With this model, we find that the magnetic field strength in the lobes is at the equipartition value for 3C 284, and within a factor of two of the equipartition value for 3C 223. We also detect group-scale hot atmospheres around both sources, and determine temperatures and pressures in the gas. The lobes of both sources are in pressure balance with the hot-gas environments, if the lobes contain only the synchrotron-emitting particles and the measured magnetic field strength. The core spectra of both sources contain an unabsorbed soft component, likely to be related to the radio jet, and an additional heavily absorbed power-law component. 3C 223 also displays a bright (EW ~ 500 eV) Fe K-alpha emission line.

description: Inflation universally produces classical almost scale free Gaussian inhomogeneities of any light scalars. Assuming the coupling constants at the time of inflation depend on some light moduli fields, we encounter the generation of modulated cosmological fluctuations from (p)reheating. This is an alternative mechanism to generate observable (almost) scale free adiabatic metric perturbations. We extend this idea to the class of hybrid inflation, where the bifurcation value of the inflaton is modulated by the spatial inhomogeneities of the couplings. As a result, the symmetry breaking after inflation occurs not simultaneously in space but with the time laps in different Hubble patches inherited from the long-wavelength moduli inhomogeneities. To calculate modulated fluctuations we introduce techniques of general relativistic matching conditions for metric perturbations at the time hypersurface where the equation of state after inflation undergoes a jump, without evoking the detailed microscopic physics, as far as it justifies the jump. We apply this theory to the modulated fluctuations from the hybrid and chaotic inflations. We discuss what distinguish the modulated from the inflation-driven fluctuations, in particular, their spectral index, modification of the consistency relation and the issue of weak non-Gaussianity.

description: We revisit spatially flat, anisotropic cosmologies within the framework of mini-superspace. Putting special emphasis on the symmetries of the mini-superspace action and on the associated conservation laws, we unveil a new class of rotating cosmologies driven by solid matter. Their rotating is physical, in that it is characterized in an invariant way in terms of a conserved angular momentum. Along the way, we confirm the results of Bartolo et al. regarding the slow decay of anisotropies for solid inflation. We then use our minisuperspace approach as a laboratory to address certain puzzles of quantum cosmology-among these, how to characterize the spacetime symmetries of a quantum state at the level of the wavefunction of the universe. For the case of a solid driven cosmology, this question seems better defined than in more standard cases. Other questions remain unanswered, though; in particular, the general question of how to operate a minisuperspace-like truncation of degrees of freedom that is consistent at the quantum level.

description: We discuss the asymptotic structure of spacetimes, presenting a new construction of ideal points at infinity and introducing useful topologies on the completed space. Our construction is based on structures introduced by Geroch, Kronheimer, and Penrose and has much in common with the modifications introduced by Budic and Sachs as well as those introduced by Szabados. However, these earlier constructions defined ideal points as equivalence classes of certain past and future sets, effectively defining the completed space as a quotient. Our approach is fundamentally different as it identifies ideal points directly as appropriate pairs consisting of a (perhaps empty) future set and a (perhaps empty) past set. These future and past sets are just the future and past of the ideal point within the original spacetime. This provides our construction with useful causal properties and leads to more satisfactory results in a number of examples. We are also able to endow the completion with a topology. In fact, we introduce two topologies, which illustrate different features of the causal approach. In both topologies, the completion is the original spacetime together with endpoints for all timelike curves. We explore this procedure in several examples, and in particular for plane wave solutions, with satisfactory results.

description: Using a threshold vector error correction model approach we find the wheat market of Russia segmented, with the primary grain export region poorly integrated into the domestic market. Results also indicate that trade costs are high, hindering spatial market efficiency of wheat markets in Russia. In addition, our study demonstrates that, by including the USA as benchmark country, a comparative approach enables a more comprehensive assessment of the spatial market efficiency of the wheat market in Russia. The study shows that the distinction between grain production and export potential, especially for markets located in peripheral regions of Russia, is essential to correctly identify Russia's future role for global food security. As a general conclusion, besides raising agricultural production potential it is also essential to strengthen spatial market efficiency in the agricultural sector to boost agricultural export potential and to increase global food security.

Are they cost effective and a profitable investment of public funds (Kaiser et al., 2005)? This article highlights recent research that assesses how the United States economy is affected by private- and taxpayer-funded promotion activities. Recent studies suggest that U.S. market development programs, which promote U.S. agricultural exports and producer welfare, also have positive net effects on the rest of the economy as measured by changes in GDP and jobs. Private-sector contributions to these programs have been growing, and these efforts may become more necessary as products become further differentiated and specialized.

description: Food safety is an inherently complex agribusiness problem. Food safety is a result of the collec-tive efforts of various members of the food supply chain in which each member’s production, handling, processing and retailing practices jointly determine the safety of the consumed product. Although agency explanations have been offered as one potential solution to this research chal-lenge, food safety also operates within a greater institutional setting. A theoretical framework that draws on an institutional approach is developed in which two sets of propositions are offered to explain the coordination and economic organization of food safety. Such a framework offers four contributions / implications to organizational economic and food safety research.

description: We provide an updated analysis of the effectiveness of the Lamb Checkoff program conducted by The American Lamb Board since July 2002. The principal conclusion is that the program has resulted in roughly 7.1 to 7.5 pounds of lamb consumption per dollar spent on promotion activities which translates into $37.16 to $39.34 in additional lamb sales per dollar spent on promotion activities. This update is addressed through an econometric analysis of the retail demand for lamb in the United States which takes into account the effects of lamb advertising and promotion expenditures. The results then are used to calculate a benefit-cost ratio for lamb promotion at the retail level. We also provide estimates of the benefit-cost ratio at the producer level conditional on recent farm shares of the retail dollar associated with beef and pork.

description: Perhaps the most widely followed price in the market is the price of crude oil. The volatility of this commodity is evident to consumers through the gasoline prices that consumers see on the retail side. The U.S. Energy Information Agency provides widely followed forecasts for the retail gasoline price (along with other energy products) produced with their short-term energy outlook (STEO) model. The purpose of this research is to compare a number of forecasts using different techniques to the STEO model. This is accomplished through the use of Holt Winters, structural, ARIMA, and vector error-correction models. We also construct a composite forecast by averaging the respective forecasts from the four models. From the empirical analysis, we find evidence from the structural model and the vector error-correction model that the movement in the gasoline prices can be explained by the West Texas Intermediate (WTI) benchmark and the spread between BRENT and WTI benchmarks. In terms of forecasting performance, the additive Holt Winters model outperforms the other models within sample. Out sample, the composite forecast is the best performing model. The composite forecast has a MAPE of 6.3% versus a MAPE of 8.1% from the STEO model.

Based on RGB-analysis linear correlations between the intensities of the blue and green color channels, the concentration of cephalexin were obtained. Furthermore, the possibility of using radar charts for the analyte was investigated. For detection of antibiotic, the authors’ application for smartphone «Digital colorimetric test» was created. After loading a photo of the paper-based device, the application automatically displays the concentration of antibiotic on the screen. Moreover, for detection of the antibiotic, a small volume of sample (5 μL) is required. The limits of detection for developed methods were from 0.13 to 0.4 mg/mL (Sr < 0.12).

description: The aim of this study was to develop a portable optical instrument to measure the scavenging capacity of standard antioxidants. The developed instrument performed on-site assays for four antioxidant capacities, namely 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl free radical scavenging activity, 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethyl-benzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) free radical scavenging activity, total phenol content, and total flavonoid content. Because each item required distinct wavelengths and operating procedures for detection, the developed instrument featured automatic, high-speed, and multi-function capabilities. The results revealed that the correlation between the absorbance values determined using the proposed instrument and a commercial spectrophotometer ranged from 0.94 to 0.9997 based on assays of the four antioxidant capacities. Hence, the results of the proposed instrument were strongly correlated with those of the commercial spectrophotometer. This instrument provides a low-cost, portable, and rapid platform for on-site antioxidant scavenging capacity assays.

description: The effects of different parameters and the nitric acid concentration on the sensitivity and repeatability of elemental analysis were characterized for liquid electrode plasma optical emission spectrometry (LEP-OES). In addition, internal standardization for LEP-OES was investigated. The developed LEP-OES method was used for the determination of lithium, potassium, iron, and zinc in aqueous solutions and in samples with high acid concentrations after microwave-assisted digestion. The results were compared with those obtained by inductively coupled plasma – optical emission spectrometry. The sensitivity was improved when the plasma parameters were optimized. In addition, some improvement in the accuracy and reproducibility of the results was achieved when internal standardization by gold was employed. However, due to the strong matrix effects, the calibration standards should be made as similar as possible to the sample matrix.
Evidence for spots on hot stars suggests major revision of stellar physics

description: It has long been thought that starspots are not present in the A and B stars because magnetic fields cannot be generated in stars with radiative envelopes. Space observations show that a considerable fraction of these stars vary in light with periods consistent with the expected rotation periods. Here we show that the photometric periods are the same as the rotation periods and that starspots are the likely cause for the light variations. This discovery has wide-ranging implications and suggests that a major revision of the physics of hot stellar envelopes may be required.

Bayesian evidence-driven diagnosis of instrumental systematics for sky-averaged 21-cm cosmology experiments

description: We demonstrate the effectiveness of a Bayesian evidence-based analysis for diagnosing and disentangling the sky-averaged 21-cm signal from instrumental systematic effects. As a case study, we consider a simulated REACH pipeline with an injected systematic. We demonstrate that very poor performance or erroneous signal recovery is achieved if the systematic remains unmodelled. These effects include sky-averaged 21-cm posterior estimates resembling a very deep or wide signal. However, when including parameterised models of the systematic, the signal recovery is dramatically improved in performance. Most importantly, a Bayesian evidence-based model comparison is capable of determining whether or not such a systematic model is needed as the true underlying generative model of an experimental dataset is in principle unknown. We, therefore, advocate a pipeline capable of testing a variety of potential systematic errors with the Bayesian evidence acting as the mechanism for detecting their presence.

MAXI/SSC All-sky maps from 0.7 keV to 4 keV

description: By accumulating data from the Solid-state Slit Camera (SSC) on board the MAXI mission for 2 years from 2009 to 2011, diffuse X-ray background maps were obtained in energies of 0.7--1.0, 1.0--2.0, and 2.0--4.0 keV. They are the first ones that were derived with a solid-state instrument, and to be compared with the previous ROSAT all sky survey result. While the SSC map in the highest energy band is dominated by point sources and the Galactic Diffuse X-ray emission, that in 0.7--1.0 keV reveals an extended X-ray structure, of which the brightness distribution is very similar to that observed with ROSAT about 20 years before. Like in the ROSAT result, the emission is dominated by a bright arc-like structure, which appears to be a part of a circle of $\sim 50^\circ$ radius centered at about $(l, b) \sim (340^\circ, 15^\circ)$. In addition, the SSC map suggests a fainter and larger ellipse, which is elongated in the north-south direction and roughly centered at the Galactic center. The spectrum of these structures is explained as thin thermal emission from a plasma, with a temperature of $\sim 0.31$ keV and an abundance of $\sim0.3$ Solar. Based on SSC observation conditions including the low Solar activity, the Solar Wind Charge Exchange signals are estimated to be negligible in the present SSC maps, as well as in the $>0.56$ keV ROSAT map. A brief discussion is given to the obtained results.

Relationship between and implications of the isotope and pressure effects on transition temperature, penetration depths and conductivities

Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)

description: It is shown that the empirical relations between transition temperature, normal state conductivity linearly extrapolated to the value at the transition temperature, zero temperature penetration depths, etc., as observed in a rich variety of cuprate superconductors, are remarkably consistent with the universal critical properties of anisotropic systems which fall into the 3D-XY universality class and undergo a crossover to a quantum critical point in 2D. The variety includes n- and p-type cuprates, comprises the underdoped and overdoped regimes and the consistency extends up to six decades in the scaling variables. The resulting scaling relations for the oxygen isotope and hydrostatic pressure effects agree with the experimental data and reveal that these effects originate from local lattice distortions preserving the volume of the unit cell. These observations single out 3D and anisotropic microscopic models which incorporate local lattice distortions, fall in the experimentally accessible regime into the 3D-XY universality class, and incorporate the crossover to 2D quantum criticality where superconductivity disappears.

Superradiant instability in slowly rotating Kerr-Newman black holes

description: We study the superradiant instability of slowly rotating Kerr-Newman (sKN) black holes under a charged massive scalar perturbation. These black holes resemble closer the Reissner-Nordström black holes than the Kerr-Newman black holes. We compute the negative absorption cross section of a massive scalar for superradiant scattering in the low frequency limit. From the scalar potential analysis, we find that the superradiant instability is not allowed in the sKN black holes because the condition for a trapping well is not compatible with the superradiance condition. However, the rate of energy extraction might grow exponentially if the sKN black hole is placed inside a reflecting cavity. Finally, we obtain the condition for the trapping well to possess quasibound states in the sKN black holes by analyzing asymptotic scalar potential and wave functions.

description: We establish topological nature of Hall conductivity of graphene and other $Z_2$ crystals in 2D and 3D in the presence of inhomogeneous perturbations. To this end the lattice Weyl-Wigner formalism is employed. The non-uniform mechanical stress is considered, along with spatially varying magnetic field. The relation of the obtained topological invariant to level counting is clarified.
