description: By analyzing the potential energy surface, the shape phase diagram and the energy spectrum of the nucleus in U(5) symmetry in the IBM, we propose that the U(5) symmetry with parameters $(A+B) < 0$ may be a model to describe the rotation driven vibrational to axially rotational phase transition along the yrast line. With such a model, we have described successfully the observed rotation driven shape phase transition along the yrast line of individual nucleus and proposed some other empirical evidences.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2012

description: Abstract: System for detecting the level of discomfort of aquatic animals during experimental studies, with a water tank, a reference electrode placed at one of the sides of the tank, at least one recording electrode placed at another side of the tank, a bio amplifier for amplifying a received bio-signal at the recording electrode, a microprocessor for treating the signals and a low-pass filter for filtering the signals received. The system can provide a precise, quantifiable and specific indication of the level of stress/wellbeing of aquatic animals in normal living conditions as well as in experimental conditions without interfering with the animals' life.

description: Gauge invariant, Hamiltonian formulation of field dynamics within a compact region $Σ$ with boundary $\partial Σ$ is given for the gravitational field linearized over a Kottler metric. The boundary conditions which make the system autonomous are discussed and the corresponding Hamiltonian functional $\mathcal{H}_\text{Invariant}$ is calculated. It is shown that, under specific boundary conditions, the quasi-local Geroch--Hawking mass $\mathcal{H}_\text{Hawking}$ reduces to $\mathcal{H}_\text{Invariant}$ in the weak field approximation. This observation is a quasi-local version of the classical Brill--Deser result.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Spectroscopic observations of a massive star formation in the ultraviolet and their interpretation are reviewed. After a brief historical retrospective, two well-studied resolved star clusters and the surrounding H II regions are introduced: NGC 2070 in the Large Magellanic Cloud and NGC 604 in M33. These regions serve as a training set for studies of more distant clusters, which can no longer be resolved into individual stars. Observations of recently formed star clusters and extended regions in star-forming galaxies in the nearby universe beyond the Local Group are presented. Their interpretation relies on spectral synthesis models. The successes and failures of such models are discussed, and future directions are highlighted. I present a case study of the extraordinary star cluster and giant H II region in the blue compact galaxy II Zw 40. The review concludes with a preview of two upcoming Hubble Space Telescope programs: ULLYSES, a survey of massive stars in nearby galaxies, and CLASSY, a study of massive star clusters in star-forming galaxies.
Mesa-type patterns in the one-dimensional Brusselator and their stability

description: The Brusselator is a generic reaction-diffusion model for a tri-molecular chemical reaction. We consider the case when the input and output reactions are slow. In this limit, we show the existence of $K$-periodic, spatially bi-stable structures, \emph{mesas}, and study their stability. Using singular perturbation techniques, we find a threshold for the stability of $K$ mesas. This threshold occurs in the regime where the exponentially small tails of the localized structures start to interact. By comparing our results with Turing analysis, we show that in the generic case, a Turing instability is followed by a slow coarsening process whereby logarithmically many mesas are annihilated before the system reaches a steady equilibrium state. We also study a ``breather''-type instability of a mesa, which occurs due to a Hopf bifurcation. Full numerical simulations are shown to confirm the analytical results.

description: The consideration in the present study is mainly conceptual. The objective is to show how Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) can be used to reveal the true input-output relations in an industry. In the estimation of a production function it is assumed that all firms use the existing technology efficiently. However, in the real world the observed firms produce homogeneous outputs with differences in factor intensities and in managerial capacity. Hence, inefficiencies are hidden in the estimated production functions. In order to overcome this drawback of the parametric approach and to reveal the true nature of the input-output relations in production, given the available technology, the DEA approach is applied. In this study DEA is applied in order to select the farms that utilize efficiently the existing technology, allowing the estimation of a production function that reveals the true input-output relations in sheep-goat farming, using farm accounting data from a sample of 108 sheep-goat farms.

description: Cooperatives constitute a "creation" of the social necessity for equal opportunities in the production and disposal of products. Nevertheless, the development and redistributive role of cooperatives in Crete has become open to controversy throughout the recent years, due to the problems of development and management that the co-operative organizations are called upon to face. In order to examine the economic environment and the competitiveness of cooperative Unions in Crete, a study aiming at the discovery of solutions for the reforming and increasing of competition among of agricultural unions was conducted. Distillation of this study constitutes the present article.

The anisotropy parameters for the Gd2Sn2O7 were measured using the electron spin resonance (ESR) technique. The anisotropy was found to be of the easy plane type, with the main constant D=140mK. This value is 35% smaller than the value of the corresponding anisotropy constant in the related compound Gd2Ti2O7.

description: Soil health and fertility play a critical role in determining crop productivity and sustainability in agricultural systems. In Zambia, declining soil fertility due to continuous cropping, minimal organic matter inputs, and nutrient imbalances threaten agricultural productivity. This study assessed the soil properties across four districts—Katete, Nyimba, Petauke, and Sinda—in Eastern Zambia to evaluate their fertility status and potential implications for crop production. The results indicated that the general soil pH across all districts was slightly acidic. However, some camps in Katete (18.3%), Nyimba (37.5%), and Sinda (26.3%) had neutral pH, whereas none in Petauke exhibited neutral conditions. Soil electrical conductivity (EC) was relatively high across the districts, with Nyimba having the highest levels. Sodium (Na) content was high in all districts, posing potential risks of soil degradation. Organic carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and cation exchange capacity (CEC) were generally low in Sinda, Katete, and Petauke, while Nyimba showed moderate levels. Notably, 12.5% and 26.3% of camps in Katete and Sinda, respectively, had very low organic carbon, while substantial proportions of camps in Katete (43.8%), Petauke (52.9%), and Sinda (42.1%) exhibited very low nitrogen levels. Phosphorus (P) levels were mostly moderate to high, except in Nyimba, where they were relatively low. Potassium (K) was generally moderate across districts, except in Nyimba, where it was high. Calcium (Ca) was low in Katete, Petauke, and Sinda, whereas magnesium (Mg) was high in those districts but significantly elevated in Nyimba. Soil texture varied, with most soils classified as sandy loam, except in Nyimba, where sandy clay loam and clay soils predominated. These findings underscore the need for targeted and site-specific soil fertility management practices, such as liming, organic matter additions, and balanced fertilization, to enhance soil health and crop yields in Eastern Zambia.

description: We employ group theory to study the properties of the lattice vibrations and magnetic order in the antiferromagnetic topological insulator MnBi$_2$Te$_4$, both in bulk and few-layer form. In the paramagnetic phase, we obtain the degeneracies, the selection rules, and real-space displacements for the lattice vibrational modes for different stacking configurations. We discuss how magnetism influences these results. As a representative example, we consider a double septuple layer system and obtain the form of the magnetic order allowed by the symmetries of the crystal. We derive the allowed coupling terms that describe the paramagnetic to antiferromagnetic transition. Finally, we discuss the implications of our results for Raman scattering and other optical measurements. Our work sets the stage for a deeper understanding of the interplay of lattice modes, band topology, and magnetic order in MnBi$_2$Te$_4$ and other symmetry-related materials.

The initial boundary value problem for the Einstein equations with totally geodesic timelike boundary

description: We prove the well-posedness of the initial boundary value problem for the Einstein equations with sole boundary condition the requirement that the timelike boundary is totally geodesic. This provides the first well-posedness result for this specific geometric boundary condition and the first setting for which geometric uniqueness in the original sense of Friedrich holds for the initial boundary value problem. Our proof relies on the ADM system for the Einstein vacuum equations, formulated with respect to a parallelly propagated orthonormal frame along timelike geodesics. As an independent result, we first establish the well-posedness in this gauge of the Cauchy problem for the Einstein equations, including the propagation of constraints. More precisely, we show that by appropriately modifying the evolution equations, using the constraint equations, we can derive a first order symmetric hyperbolic system for the connection coefficients of the orthonormal frame. The propagation of the constraints then relies on the derivation of a hyperbolic system involving the connection, suitably modified Riemann and Ricci curvature tensors and the torsion of the connection. In particular, the connection is shown to agree with the Levi-Civita connection at the same time as the validity of the constraints. In the case of the initial boundary value problem with totally geodesic boundary, we then verify that the vanishing of the second fundamental form of the boundary leads to homogeneous boundary conditions for our modified ADM system, as well as for the hyperbolic system used in the propagation of the constraints. An additional analytical difficulty arises from a loss of control on the normal derivatives to the boundary of the solution. To resolve this issue, we work with an anisotropic scale of Sobolev spaces and exploit the specific structure of the equations.

description: Although the initial allocation of pollution permits is neutral in terms of efficiency, it does have a significant impact on distributive equity. In this paper, we examine the two main categories of permit allocation rules, the distributive and the reductive, for controlling phosphorus pollution in a small catchment in South West England. Based on the premise that the regulatory choice compromises efficiency and equity, the main result of this paper is that an allocation of permits in proportion to the intensity of environmental preferences is a “win-win” choice. The reason is that it simultaneously achieves two goals. First, it is efficient (or cost-effective) since a permit system achieves a prespecified target at a minimum abatement cost, while second, it is the only allocation rule which reduces the income inequality of the baseline scenario.

description: This paper introduces a new kind of propositional encoding for reasoning about partial orders. The symbols in an unspecified partial order are viewed as variables which take integer values and are interpreted as indices in the order. For a partial order statement on n symbols each index is represented in log2 n propositional variables and partial order constraints between symbols are modeled on the bit representations. We illustrate the application of our approach to determine LPO termination for term rewrite systems. Experimental results are unequivocal, indicating orders of magnitude speedups in comparison with current implementations for LPO termination. The proposed encoding is general and relevant to other applications which involve propositional reasoning about partial orders.

The integrative performance theory: An anti-hermeneutic approach for opera

Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: 190407 Music Performance
subject: FOS: Arts (arts, history of arts, performing arts, music)

description: Opera is currently without an integrated theory of practice, pedagogy and analysis that realises meaning within the act of performance. As a result, the various performance aspects of acting, movement and music have been separate and the operatic performer has been marginalised and actively suppressed. This thesis explores the historical reasons for this disintegration and suppression, examines modern philosophies to open the way for a new approach, critically examines Konstantin Stanislavsky's methodology in this context, and proposes a new theory and practice. This thesis proposes that since it is the event that happens on the stage through the act of performance, to choose or be aware of the fields of operations that contribute to a happening is essential if the desired effect is to have all these operations working together in a network to allow for that event. Historically, the idea of a communal art form and a "unity" of the arts has been a re-occuring theme within the development of opera. Due to a lack of recognition of the operations of performance and an assumption that the meaning is in the texts, such interrelationships have been denied.

description: The Hamilton-Jacobi formalism for a geodetic brane-like universe described by the Regge-Teitelboim model is developed. We focus on the description of the complete set of Hamiltonians that ensure the integrability of the model in addition to obtaining the Hamilton principal function $S$. In order to do this, we avoid the second-order in derivative nature of the model by appropriately defining a set of auxiliary variables that yields a first-order Lagrangian. Being a linear in acceleration theory, this scheme unavoidably needs an adequate redefinition of the so-called Generalized Poisson Bracket in order to achieve the right evolution in the reduced phase space. Further this Hamilton-Jacobi framework also enables us to explore the quantum behaviour under a semi-classical approximation of the model. A comparison with the Ostrogradski-Hamilton method for constrained systems is also provided in detail.

The role of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in the development of Fanconi Anemia, an inherited bone marrow failure disorder
Creators: name: Hadjur, Suzana
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The objective of this thesis was to investigate the role of endogenous reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in the pathogenesis of Fanconi's Anemia (FA) using Fanconi Anemia Complementation Group C (Fancc) - deficient mice. This objective was examined in two distinct ways. First, through the generation and characterization of a novel mouse model for FA with intrinsic oxidant stress and secondly, through the observation that nitric oxide (NO) may have a role in cytokine - mediated inhibition of hematopoiesis in FA. FA is an autosomal recessive disorder, which primarily affects children and young adults, resulting in morbidity and mortality due to B M failure or acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). Currently, eight complementation groups have been identified and six FA genes have been cloned. Although knockout mice have been generated for each of the genes cloned, they do not exhibit the primary hematopoietic defect of FA. Thus, no spontaneously occurring mouse model for FA exists with which to better define the pathogenesis of this disease. Several lines of evidence have pointed to abnormal regulation of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) in individuals with FA. To investigate the possible role of the Fancc protein in the regulation of an in vivo redox state, mice were generated having combined deficiencies in the genes encoding the cytoplasmic antioxidant, Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (Sod1) and Fancc. Fancc⁻[sup /]⁻Sod1⁻[sup /]⁻ mice developed hepatic lipid accumulation, peripheral blood bicytopenia, marrow hypocellularity, little to no growth of committed progenitor cells in vitro, and decreased frequencies of long-term progenitors. This novel murine model of FA partially replicates the hematopoietic defect of this disease and may be useful in defining novel therapies. The second theme of this thesis involved the observation that NO may have a role in FA BM failure. Cytokine inhibition of hematopoietic progenitor colony growth from Fancc⁻[sup /]⁻ mice was completely rescued in the presence of an iNOS inhibitor, L-NMMA. Fancc⁻[sup /]⁻ progenitor cells were hypersensitive to NO generating drugs in vitro while primary macrophages had elevated expression of iNOS and NO production in response to IFNγ and IFNγ/LPS. To date, no information exists regarding FA and NO and these studies have opened a new avenue of investigation in FA research.
Have We Detected Patchy Reionization in Quasar Spectra?

description: The Lyman-alpha forest at z >~ 5.5 shows strong scatter in the mean transmission even when smoothed over very large spatial scales, >~ 50 Mpc/h. This has been interpreted as a signature of strongly fluctuating radiation fields, or patchy reionization. To test this claim, we calculate the scatter arising solely from density fluctuations, with a uniform ionizing background, using analytic arguments and simulations. This scatter alone is comparable to that observed. It rises steeply with redshift and is of order unity by z ~ 6, even on ~ 50 Mpc/h scales. This arises because: i) at z ~ 6, transmission spectra, which are sensitive mainly to rare voids, are highly biased (with a linear bias factor b >~ 4-5) tracers of underlying density fluctuations, and ii) projected power from small-scale transverse modes is aliased to long wavelength line-of-sight modes. Inferring patchy reionization from quasar spectra is therefore subtle and requires much more detailed modeling. Similarly, we expect order unity transmission fluctuations in the z ~ 3 HeII Lyman-alpha forest from density fluctuations alone, on the scales over which these measurements are typically made.

description: We describe a formulation to deduce the phase shifts, which determine the ground-state properties of interacting quantum-dot systems with the inversion symmetry, from the fixed-point eigenvalues of the numerical renormalization group (NRG). Our approach does not assume the specific form of the Hamiltonian nor the electron-hole symmetry, and it is applicable to a wide class of quantum impurities connected to noninteracting leads. We apply the method to a triple dot which is described by a three-site Hubbard chain connected to two noninteracting leads, and calculate the dc conductance away from half-filling. The conductance shows the typical Kondo plateaus of Unitary limit in some regions of the gate voltages, at which the total number of electrons N_el in the three dots is odd, i.e., N_el =1, 3 and 5. In contrast, the conductance shows a wide minimum in the gate voltages corresponding to even number of electrons, N_el = 2 and 4. We also discuss the parallel conductance of the triple dot connected transversely to four leads, and show that it can be deduced from the two phase shifts defined in the two-lead case.

description: We extend a theory of first order hbar corrections to Gutzwiller's trace formula for systems with a smooth potential to systems with discrete symmetries and, as an example, apply the method to the two-dimensional hydrogen atom in a uniform magnetic field. We exploit the C_{4v}-symmetry of the system in the calculation of the correction terms. The numerical results for the semiclassical values will be compared with values extracted from exact quantum mechanical calculations. The comparison shows an excellent agreement and demonstrates the power of the hbar expansion method.

description: We address the construction and interpretation of diffeomorphism-invariant observables in a low-energy effective theory of quantum gravity. The observables we consider are constructed as integrals over the space of coordinates, in analogy to the construction of gauge-invariant observables in Yang-Mills theory via traces. As such, they are explicitly non-local. Nevertheless we describe how, in suitable quantum states and in a suitable limit, the familiar physics of local quantum field theory can be recovered from appropriate such observables, which we term `pseudo-local.' We consider measurement of pseudo-local observables, and describe how such measurements are limited by both quantum effects and gravitational interactions. These limitations support suggestions that theories of quantum gravity associated with finite regions of spacetime contain far fewer degrees of freedom than do local field theories.

description: Axisymmetric three-dimensional solitary waves in uniform two-component mixture Bose-Einstein condensates are obtained as solutions of the coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations with equal intracomponent but varying intercomponent interaction strengths. Several families of solitary wave complexes are found: (1) vortex rings of various radii in each of the components, (2) a vortex ring in one component coupled to a rarefaction solitary wave of the other component, (3) two coupled rarefaction waves, (4) either a vortex ring or a rarefaction pulse coupled to a localised disturbance of a very low momentum. The continuous families of such waves are shown in the momentum-energy plane for various values of the interaction strengths and the relative differences between the chemical potentials of two components. Solitary wave formation, their stability and solitary wave complexes in two-dimensions are discussed.

The screening length in hot QCD

description: We discuss the temperature dependence of the screening lengths in quenched and full QCD using the non-perturbative lattice approach. We analyze the temperature dependence of distances which are defined as moments of quark antiquark free energies. These distance scales are supposed to describe the geometric size of partonic clouds which screen static charges in a medium and characterize distances beyond which the quark antiquark free energy is to large extent dominated by medium effects. At asymptotic high temperatures these moments can be related to the inverse Debye mass. In our numeric analysis we find that these moments drop rapidly in the vicinity of the phase transition and indicate distances which are about twice as large as the inverse Debye mass found in earlier studies. Our analysis supports recent findings that indicate that $J/ψ$ will show significant medium modifications only at temperatures well above $T_c$.

description: We perform novel energy and norm density resolved wave packet spreading studies in the disordered Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) lattice to confine energy density fluctuations. We map the locations of GP regimes of weak and strong chaos subdiffusive spreading in the 2D density control parameter space and observe strong chaos spreading over several decades. We obtain a renormalization of the ground state due to disorder, which allows for a new disorder-induced phase of disconnected insulating puddles of matter due to Lifshits tails. Inside this Lifshits phase, the wave packet spreading is substantially slowed down.

description: The dynamics-from-permutations of classical Ising spins is generalized here for an arbitrarily long chain. This serves as an ontological model with discrete dynamics generated by pairwise exchange interactions defining the unitary update operator. The model incorporates a finite signal velocity and resembles in many aspects a discrete free field theory. We deduce the corresponding Hamiltonian operator and show that it generates an exact terminating Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff formula. Motivation for this study is provided by the Cellular Automaton Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics. We find that our ontological model, which is classical and deterministic, appears as if of quantum mechanical kind in an appropriate formal description. However, it is striking that (in principle arbitrarily) small deformations of the model turn it into a genuine quantum theory. This supports the view that quantum mechanics stems from an epistemic approach handling physical phenomena.

description: شهرها به عنوان عامل اصلی ایجاد کننده ناپایداری در جهان به شمار می روند. با توجه به پیچیدگی ذاتی و ابعاد مختلف تاثیرگذاری شهرها شناخت عوامل اصلی در جهت دستیابی به پایداری شهری ضروری به نظر می رسد. اهداف توسعه پایدار ( تامین نیازهای اساسی، بهبود استانداردهای زندگی، حفاظت و مدیریت بهتر اکوسیستم ها ) در همه سطوح سازمان فضایی ( محلی، ملی، منطقه ای و جهانی ) اجرا می شود. لیکن سطح شهری به علت تمرکز پیوسته رو به رشد جمعیت و فعالیت های اقتصادی، توجه بیشتری را جلب کرده است. افزایش مشکلات زیست محیطی و آلودگی، به علاقه رو به رشد به سیستم های پایدار در بخش های مختلف منجر شده است. در بسیاری از کشورها، متخصصان به طور فزاینده ای به دنبال تدوین قوانین کنترل کننده شهری، ارتقاء مقررات ساختمان ها و توسعه سیستم های رتبه بندی زیست محیطی به عنوان راه هایی برای ترویج توسعه پایدار هستند. با آغاز قرن بیست و یکم، کمبود منابع طبیعی، رشد جمعیت و نگرانی ها در مورد آلودگی، شهرها را به بررسی و بازنگری برنامه های زیست محیطی شان وا می دارد. شهرداری ها توجه به تولید گازهای گل خانه ای، استفاده از آب، مدیریت زباله های شهری، بازیافت، کاربری زمین و در مجموع کیفیت محیط زیست را در هنگام تعیین اهداف خود برای آینده پیش روی خود می گذارند. این اهداف نه تنها منعکس کننده نگهداری و بهبود محیط زیست موجود، بلکه نشان دهنده نگرانی فزاینده از سرزندگی و پایداری دراز مدت شهرها است. در این مقاله درابتدا تعاریفی از توسعه پایدار و توسعه پایدار شهری ارائه شده است و در ادامه به اهداف، مبانی و اصول معماری پایدار پرداخته شده است و در انتها دیدگاه های جامع و کلی نگر در شهر پایدار و نتیجه گیری بیان شده است.

description: A fundamental property of choice functions is stability, which, loosely speaking, prescribes that choice sets are invariant under adding and removing unchosen alternatives. We provide several structural insights that improve our understanding of stable choice functions. In particular, (i) we show that every stable choice function is generated by a unique simple choice function, which never excludes more than one alternative, (ii) we completely characterize which simple choice functions give rise to stable choice functions, and (iii) we prove a strong relationship between stability and a new property of tournament solutions called local reversal symmetry. Based on these findings, we provide the first concrete tournament---consisting of 24 alternatives---in which the tournament equilibrium set fails to be stable. Furthermore, we prove that there is no more discriminating stable tournament solution than the bipartisan set and that the bipartisan set is the unique most discriminating tournament solution which satisfies standard properties proposed in the literature.

description: Minnesota can improve the utilization of manure and organic wastes via the production of biogas that can be used to produce heat and electricity. Denmark serves as a role model for Minnesota in the number of central anaerobic digesters that it supports. During anaerobic digestion methane is produced when naturally occurring anaerobic bacteria decompose organic matter in the absence of oxygen. This process produces what is called biogas, which usually is a mixture of 55 – 65 percent methane plus carbon dioxide with trace gases such as hydrogen sulfide. Co-generation using manure and other feedstocks can produce more energy than manure alone. Central digesters are more likely to process wastes from food processing plants and other sources resulting in the need for more specialized unloading facilities and larger storage spaces. Digesters can be owned by farmers or consumers cooperatives, third party/non-farming investor(s), state or municipal government, or established as a cooperative or limited liability corporation. Problems associated with centralized digester operation include capital constraints, low profitability, lower-than-expected waste availability, electricity connection and pricing, and waste disposal constraints.
