description: We study inflation arising from the motion of a BPS D3-brane in the background of a stack of k parallel D5-branes. There are two scalar fields in this set up-- (i) the radion field R, a real scalar field, and (ii) a complex tachyonic scalar field chi living on the world volume of the open string stretched between the D3 and D5 branes. We find that inflation is realized by the potential of the radion field, which satisfies observational constraints coming from the Cosmic Microwave Background. After the radion becomes of order the string length scale l_s, the dynamics is governed by the potential of the complex scalar field. Since this field has a standard kinematic term, reheating can be successfully realized by the mechanism of tachyonic preheating with spontaneous symmetry breaking.

description: This paper presents a detailed analysis of two giant Lyman-alpha (Lya) arcs detected near known galaxies at z=3.038 and z=3.754 lensed by the massive cluster MACS 1206 (z=0.44). The Lya nebulae revealed in deep MUSE observations exhibit a double-peak profile with a dominant red peak that indicates expansion/outflowing motions. One of the arcs stretches over 1' around the Einstein radius of the cluster, resolving the velocity field of the line-emitting gas on kpc scales around a group of three star-forming galaxies of 0.3-1.6L* at z=3.038. The second arc spans 15'' in size, roughly centered around a pair of low-mass Lya emitters of ~0.03L* at z=3.754. All three galaxies in the z=3.038 group exhibit prominent damped Lya absorption (DLA) and several metal absorption lines, in addition to nebular emission lines such as HeII1640 and CIII]1906,1908. Extended Lya emission appears to emerge from star-forming regions to larger distances with suppressed surface brightness at the center of each galaxy, suggesting the presence of dusty outflowing cones of size 1-5 kpc across. There are significant spatial variations in the Lya line profile, consistent with the presence of a steep negative velocity gradient in a continuous flow of high column density gas from star-forming regions into a low-density halo environment. While the observed UV nebular line ratios show no evidence of AGN activity in the galaxies, the observed Lya signals can be explained by a combination of resonant scattering and recombination radiation due to photoionization by ionizing photons escaping from the nearby star-forming regions. These observations provide the most detailed insights yet into the kinematics of galactic superwinds associated with star-forming galaxies thought to be responsible for the chemical enrichment in the intergalactic medium.

One-Loop Renormalization of Lee-Wick Gauge Theory

description: We examine the renormalization of Lee-Wick gauge theory to one loop order. We show that only knowledge of the wavefunction renormalization is necessary to determine the running couplings, anomalous dimensions, and vector boson masses. In particular, the logarithmic running of the Lee-Wick vector boson mass is exactly related to the running of the coupling. In the case of an asymptotically free theory, the vector boson mass runs to infinity in the ultraviolet. Thus, the UV fixed point of the pure gauge theory is an ordinary quantum field theory. We find that the coupling runs more quickly in Lee-Wick gauge theory than in ordinary gauge theory, so the Lee-Wick standard model does not naturally unify at any scale. Finally, we present results on the beta function of more general theories containing dimension six operators which differ from previous results in the literature.

description: PTAs are generally negotiated without any tariff concessions or transfers to non-member countries. Can such a PTA benefit the neighbors’ welfare? In a two-good competitive equilibrium model in the absence of an entrepot, a PTA without concessions to the outsider will hurt the outsider’s welfare when goods are normal. If one of the member countries is an entrepot, however, it definitely improves the neighbors’ welfare. In a multiple-good model, a PTA without concessions deteriorates the neighbors’ welfare, provided that all the goods are normal and substitutes, and that initial tariff levels are small.

description: There is growing interest in a phenomenon called the ``synfire chain'', in which firings of neurons propagate from pool to pool in the chain. The mechanism of the synfire chain has been analyzed by many resarchers. Keeping the synfire chain phenomenon in mind, we investigate a layered associative memory neural network model, in which patterns are embedded in connections between neurons. In this model, we also include uniform noise in connections, which induces common input in the next layer. Such common input in layers generate correlated firings of neurons. We theoretically obtain the evolution of retrieval states in the case of infinite pattern loading. We find that the overlap between patterns and neuronal states is not given as a deterministic quantity, but is described by a probability distribution defined over the emsemble of synaptic matrices. Our simulation results are in excellent agreement with theoretical calculations.

description: The Airborne Topographic Mapper (ATM) was a scanning lidar developed and used by NASA for observing the Earth’s topography for several scientific applications, foremost of which was the measurement of changing Arctic and Antarctic ice sheets, glaciers and sea ice. ATM measured topography to an accuracy of better than 5 centimeters by incorporating measurements from GPS (global positioning system) receivers and inertial navigation system (INS) attitude sensors. This document is a user guide for NASA’s Airborne Topographic Mapper HDF5 waveform data products that are freely available from the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC). This user guide provides greater detail than the documentation published by a NASA Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS) Distributed Active Archive Center (DAAC) such as NSIDC. MATLAB® functions for working with ATM's HDF5 waveform data products are available at: https://github.com/mstudinger/ATM-waveform-tools Also included is a HDF5 test file (described in the user guide, Section 10 "Test file for code development") for users who want to develop their own ingest code. The test file contains diagnostic amplitude values to help with code verification and testing. The gates in the test file have varying lengths to allow for testing of the 1-based pointer/index scheme. Currently, there are three ATM waveform data products available from NSIDC: Instrument Scan Angle [°] Wavelength [nm] Data Product ATM-T6 15° 532 nm ILATMW1B ATM-T7 2.5° 532 nm ILNSAW1B ATM-T7 2.5° 1064 nm ILNIRW1B See also: https://github.com/mstudinger/ATM-waveform-tools

description: The Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) mission is the first focusing X-ray telescope in the hard X-ray (3-79 keV) band. Among the phenomena that can be studied in this energy band, some require high time resolution and stability: rotation-powered and accreting millisecond pulsars, fast variability from black holes and neutron stars, X-ray bursts, and more. Moreover, a good alignment of the timestamps of X-ray photons to UTC is key for multi-instrument studies of fast astrophysical processes. In this Paper, we describe the timing calibration of the NuSTAR mission. In particular, we present a method to correct the temperature-dependent frequency response of the on-board temperature-compensated crystal oscillator. Together with measurements of the spacecraft clock offsets obtained during downlinks passes, this allows a precise characterization of the behavior of the oscillator. The calibrated NuSTAR event timestamps for a typical observation are shown to be accurate to a precision of ~65 microsec.

description: While in theory decoupled payments do not distort production decisions, in practice there are several potential coupling mechanisms for these payments. We use farm-level data from Kansas to revisit the issue of how (de)coupled are these supposedly “decoupled” payments by focusing on how they may impact production through credit constraints. In particular, we study how production effects may have differed across farmers with varying levels of debt pressure. Our empirical approach exploits the fact that we can observe the same farm over time (and so can account for the effects of time-constant omitted variables) to study how these payments affected total crop acres, owned acres, and the decisions to plant corn, sorghum, soybeans and wheat. Like previous studies, we find small production effects. Nonetheless our results suggest decoupled payments have potentially distortionary effects on production.

description: Chimera and Solitary states have captivated scientists and engineers due to their peculiar dynamical states corresponding to the co-existence of coherent and incoherent dynamical evolution in coupled units in various natural and artificial systems. It has been further demonstrated that such states can be engineered in systems of coupled oscillators by the suitable implementation of communication delays. Here, using supervised machine learning, we predict (a) the precise value of delay which is sufficient for engineering chimera and solitary states for a given set of system parameters, as well as (b) the intensity of incoherence for such engineered states. The results are demonstrated for two different examples consisting of single layer and multi layer networks. First, the chimera states (solitary states) are engineered by establishing delays in the neighboring links of a node (the interlayer links) in a 2-D lattice (multiplex network) of oscillators. Then, different machine learning classifiers, KNN, SVM and MLP-Neural Network are employed by feeding the data obtained from the network models. Once a machine learning model is trained using a limited amount of data, it makes predictions for a given unknown systems parameter values. Testing accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity analysis reveal that MLP-NN classifier is better suited than Knn or SVM classifier for the predictions of parameters values for engineered chimera and solitary states. The technique provides an easy methodology to predict critical delay values as well as the intensity of incoherence for designing an experimental setup to create solitary and chimera states.

description: At zero magnetic field we have observed an electromagnetic radiation from superconductors subjected by a transverse elastic wave. This radiation has an inertial origin, and is a manifestation of the acoustic Stewart-Tolman effect. The effect is used for implementing a method of measurement of an effective Magnus force in type II superconductors. The method does not require the flux flow regime and allows to investigate this force for almost the whole range of the existence of the mixed state. We have studied behavior of the gyroscopic force in nonmagnetic borocarbides and Nb. It is found that in borocarbides the sign of the gyroscopic force in the mixed state is the same as in the normal state, and its value (counted for one vortex of unit length) has only a weak dependence on the magnetic field. In Nb the change of sign of the gyroscopic force under the transition from the normal to the mixed state is observed.

description: The increasing use of agricultural contracts and processor concentration raises concerns that processors may offer lower contract prices in absence of competition from other local contractors and spot markets. This study examines the price competitiveness of marketing and production contracts depending on the availability of alternative marketing options. A propensity score matching method is used to compare prices using contract data from a farm-level national survey. The results show that the absence of other contractors or spot markets in producers’ areas does not lead to significant price differences in agricultural contracts for most commodities, providing evidence that most agricultural processors do not exercise market power by reducing prices when other local buyers are not available.

description: Geologic estimates of remaining global petroleum resources place about 50% in the Persian Gulf. Production costs are estimated at $5 per barrel there, and $15 per barrel in the North Sea and Alaska. Using mathematical methods derived from depletion theory is utilized to explain the $15-$20 per barrel price band that existed from 1986 to 1999. New economic forces have displaced this previously stable pattern; a new price range of $22-to $28 may be emerging. International trade in petroleum and conventional weapons are analyzed with econometric methods; the occurrence of nuclear weapons capability in the Persian Gulf region is explored.

description: The logic of Bunched Implications (BI) freely combines additive and multiplicative connectives, including implications; however, despite its well-studied proof theory, proof-search in BI has always been a difficult problem. The focusing principle is a restriction of the proof-search space that can capture various goal-directed proof-search procedures. In this paper, we show that focused proof-search is complete for BI by first reformulating the traditional bunched sequent calculus using the simpler data-structure of nested sequents, following with a polarised and focused variant that we show is sound and complete via a cut-elimination argument. This establishes an operational semantics for focused proof-search in the logic of Bunched Implications.

description: To help Americans meet nutritional requirements while staying within caloric recommendations, the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans encourage consumption of fruits, vegetables, whole-grain products, and fat-free or low-fat milk or milk products. This report provides one view of the potential implications for U.S. agriculture if Americans changed their current consumption patterns to meet some of those guidelines. For Americans to meet the fruit, vegetable, and whole-grain recommendations, domestic crop acreage would need to increase by an estimated 7.4 million harvested acres, or 1.7 percent of total U.S. cropland in 2002. To meet the dairy guidelines, consumption of milk and milk products would have to increase by 66 percent; an increase of that magnitude would likely require an increase in the number of dairy cows as well as increased feed grains and, possibly, increased acreage devoted to dairy production.

description: In accordance with a Personal Service Agreement entered into with the Glazon Industries, Inc., on July 2, 1971, the two subject decks were patched and overlayed with Glazon. On July 27, 1971, work started on RP 106-286-HG3, KY 395 bridge over I 64 in Shelby County. Work consisted of routing old concrete and sandblasting the surface (Figures 1 and 2). State personnel and equipment were used for all cleaning operations. The same procedures were followed to clean HM 99-1324A-MB3 in Powell County near Clay City.  On July 28, 1971, Glazon personnel and equipment arrived at the work site in Shelby County. Glazon representatives judged the cleaning adequate and proceeded with patching the southbound lane (Figure 3). No accurate information is available as to the exact formulation of the Glazon used or proportions in the mix. Glazon Industries declined disclosure of such information since their material was not patented. Before patching, the holes were thoroughly dried. Shrinkage and cracking were noticed in the patches shortly after drying (Figure 4). Later, on other lanes, patch holes were primed with a Glazon liquid before patching (Figures 5 and 6).  After a short drying period, the deck was sprayed with a Glazon mix similar to that for patching but more fluid (Figures 7 and 8). Some problems were encountered due to weak air supply, but were shortly overcome. The sprayed deck looked satisfactory to Glazon personnel who did most of the work in patching and overlaying the deck. The operation was moved to the Clay City bridge and the same procedures were followed in working the northbound lane.  Two wingwalls on the Shelby County bridge were sprayed with a Glazon mix made with white cement.  On August 3, 1971, both bridges were completed though work was interrupted by rain several times. On August 5, 1971, both bridges were reopened to two-lane traffic.  This Division closely observed these operations from the beginning. It was later learned from the Division of Maintenance that the northbound lane of the Shelby County deck, which was badly deteriorating, had been repaired on September 15, 1971.

description: The objective of the research reported here is to develop a more flexible and comprehensive policy simulation model for imperfectly competitive international agricultural trade with various trade and domestic support policies. The model is a nonlinear imperfectly competitive spatial equilibrium model formulated as a MCP. The model is flexible in that it can simulate the economic effects of the following trade policies: specific duties, ad valorem tariffs, tariff-rate quotas, export subsidies, production subsidies, production quotas, consumption taxes and price floor, combined with various imperfectly competitive market structures. The usefulness of the model is demonstrated with an application to international wheat trade simulated under several alternative scenarios based on proposals of major countries as well as the agreement between China and the United States on China's participation in the 11'70. The main empirical findings are as follows. Keeping the committed 1000 support levels under the current WTO agricultural agreements would be favorable for wheat producers in tile European Community and Canada, but harmful to the United States w-heat sector. There would be little structural change in the world wheat trade in a case where China joins the WTO, keeping the other countries' policies at the committed 2000 support levels. Likewise, little structural change would occur in the case where the new WTO agricultural negotiations result in agreements favorable for importing countries. However, world wheat trade would drastically change under full trade liberalization. In this case, the European Community switches from the world's leading net exporter to the world's leading net importer of wheat. Also, China and India would become major net exporting countries, and net exports by the United States, Canada, and the Cairns group such as Australia and Argentina would expand tinder full trade liberalization.

description: The distributions of the bottom quark in the process $e^+ e^- \to t \, \bar{t} \to b \, W^+ \, \bar{t}$ are considered at the $e^+ e^-$ energy corresponding to the first construction stage of the Compact Linear Collider. The cross sections of $e^+ e^- \to b \ldots$, as functions of the $b$-quark energy and angle with respect to the direction of the electron beam, are derived and calculated. The effects of physics beyond the Standard Model are included via the modified $γt \bar{t}$ and $Z t \bar{t}$ couplings which naturally appear in effective field theories. In addition to the cross sections, the energy and angular asymmetries are calculated. The dependence of these observables on the $e^+ e^-$ energy is calculated, and features of this dependence are investigated.

description: It is found that the seesaw mechanism not only explains the smallness of neutrino masses but also accounts for the large mixing angles simultaneously, even if the unification of the neutrino Dirac mass matrix with that of up-type quark sector is realized. In this mechanism, we show that the mixing matrix of the Dirac-type mass matrix gets extra rotations from the diagonalization of Majorana mass matrix. Assuming that the mixing angles to diagonalize the Majorana mass matrix are extremely small, we find that the large mixing angles of leptonic sector found in atmospheric and long baseline reactor neutrino oscillation experiments can be explained by these extra rotations. We also find that provided the mixing angle around y-axis to diagonalize the Majorana mass matrix vanishes, we can derive the information about the absolute values of neutrino masses and Majorana mass responsible for the neutrinoless double beta decay experiment through the data set of neutrino experiments. In the simplified case that there is no CP phase, we find that the neutrino masses are decided as $m_1:m_2:m_3\approx 1:2:8$ and that there are no solution which satisfy $m_3

Islands of eight-million smiles : pop-idol performances and the field of symbolic production
Creators: name: Aoyagi, Hiroshi
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This dissertation focuses on the production and development of a conspicuous, widespread culture phenomenon in contemporary Japan, which is characterized by numerous young, mediapromoted personalities, or pop-idols, who are groomed for public consumption. The research, based on eighteen months of in-depth fieldwork in the Japanese entertainment industry, aims to contribute to the understanding of the allegorical role played by pop-idols in the creation of youth culture. Pop-idols are analyzed as personified symbols that function as vehicles of cultural production. The principal issues suggested in this research include: the criteria of popidol production; the ways in which pop-idols are produced; the perceptions of pop-idol performances by producers, performers, and consumers; the ways in which idol personalities are differentiated from each other; the ways in which pop-idol performances are distinguished from other styles or genres; and the social, cultural, political, economic, and historical roots as well as consequences of pop-idols' popularity. These issues are explored through the examination of female pop-idols. The single, most important function of pop-idols is to represent young people's fashions, customs, and lifestyles. To this end, the pop-idol industry generates a variety of styles that can provide the young audience with pathways toward appropriate adulthood. They do this within their power structure as well as their commercial interest to capitalize on adolescence - which in Japan is considered the period in which individuals are expected to explore themselves in the adult social world. The stylized promotion, practiced differently by promotion agencies that strive to merchandise pop-idol images and win public recognition, constitutes a field of symbolic contestation. The stage is thus set for an investigation of the strategies, techniques, and processes of adolescent identity formation as reified in the construction of idol personalities. This dissertation offers a contextualized account of dialogue that occurs between capitalism, particular rhetoric of self-making, and the lifestyle of consumers, mediated by pop-idols and their manufacturing agencies that function together as the cultural apparatus. The analysis developed in this dissertation hopes to provide theoretical and methodological contributions to the study of celebrities in other social, cultural, and historical settings.
High-Intensity Reflective Materials for Signs

Subjects: subject: Transportation Engineering

description: The intuitive need for improved sign legibility has increased through the years as traffic volumes, speeds and roadway designs have advanced. Because of increased traffic volumes, low-beam headlight illumination at night has become more imperative. Signs are being located farther from the travelled lanes; higher speeds are requiring messages to be more legible at greater distances (for driver decision and response). Recent studies have indicated that even Engineering Grade (2200 and 3200 Series) Scotchlite or materials designated as Type I, Class A in S.P. No. 89-A, may be inadequate for some signing situations. Signs may be made larger and(or) incorporate materials which are brighter. Thus far, neither brightness nor sign size has exceeded optimum. Obviously, economics and other considerations come into issue.

description: We consider the non-relativistic limit of gravity in four dimensions in the first order formalism. First, we revisit the case of the Einstein-Hilbert action and formally discuss some geometrical configurations in vacuum and in the presence of matter at leading order. Second, we consider the more general Mardones-Zanelli action and its non-relativistic limit. The field equations and some interesting geometries, in vacuum and in the presence of matter, are formally obtained. Remarkably, in contrast to the Einstein-Hilbert limit, the set of field equations is fully determined because the boost connection appears in the action and field equations. It is found that the cosmological constant must disappear in the non-relativistic Mardones-Zanelli action at leading order. The conditions for Newtonian absolute time be acceptable are also discussed. It turns out that Newtonian absolute time can be safely implemented with reasonable conditions.

description: In the paper we study the infimum convolution inequalites. Such an inequality was first introduced by B. Maurey to give the optimal concentration of measure behaviour for the product exponential measure. We show how IC-inequalities are tied to concentration and study the optimal cost functions for an arbitrary probability measure. In particular, we show the optimal IC-inequality for product log-concave measures and for uniform measures on the l_p^n balls. Such an optimal inequality implies, for a given measure, in particular the Central Limit Theorem of Klartag and the tail estimates of Paouris.

description: Additional file 8: Gene expression dynamics of R. solanacearum throughout infection. Six clusters were obtained through Mfuzz clustering of log2- fold-change data of the apoplast, early and late xylem conditions normalised to the reference rich liquid media. Clusters include the genes (number indicated above each graph) with a membership higher than 70% and consistently associated to the same cluster on at least 30 out of 40 iterations. The list of genes associated to each cluster was extracted and surveyed for enriched GO terms. Dot plots of the enriched GO terms in each cluster is shown next to the cluster.

description: Can the economic theory of depletion be reconciled with low petroleum? This paper uses a revision of the theory, which reflects demand functions that rise in response to increasing world population and income. The magnitude of producers’ and consumers’ surplus is estimated under both competitive and monopolistic assumptions; the result indicates a present value comparable to or in excess of today’s Gross World Economic Product. Game theory suggests a framework which explains the interaction between oil pricing and military policy, and the economic incentives which result in a general pattern of recent market equilibrium crude oil prices often fluctuating within a $15-$20 per barrel range. The analysis concludes that the economic incentives for political instability in the Persian Gulf will increase, and more formal methods of setting the international framework for Persian Gulf oil may be expected.
TIMBER HARVEST ADJACENCY ECONOMIES, HUNTING, SPECIES PROTECTION, AND OLD GROWTH VALUE: SEEKING THE OPTIMUM

description: Spatial forest management models recognize that nontimber benefits cat1 be influenced by the status of adjacent land. For instance, contiguous old growth provides habitat, aesthetic value, and environmental services. Conversely, edge areas provide forage and cover habitat for game and non-game wildlife. However, adjacency externalities are not limited to nontimber concerns. Larger harvest areas generate average cost savings as fixed harvesting costs are spread across greater acreage, a problem excluded from most literature on optimal harvesting. Hence, it is typical that economies and diseconomies of adjacency in harvesting occur simultaneously. This complicates the determination of optimal ecosystem management behavior, which recognizes timber, aesthetic, wildlife protection, and hunting values. This paper conceptually portrays economies of adjacency in competing objectives using multiple management strategies.
Host Galaxies of the High-redshift AGNs in the GOODS Fields

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The star-formation rates and the stellar masses of the host galaxies of AGNs at high-redshifts are keys to understanding the evolution of the relation between the mass of the spheroidal component of a galaxy and the mass of its central black hole. We investigate the host galaxies of 31 AGNs with spectroscopic redshifts between 2 and 4 found in the deep Chandra surveys of the GOODS fields with the ACS images. The sample can be divided into 17 ``extended'' AGNs and 14 ``compact'' AGNs based on the concentration parameter defined as the difference between the aperture magnitudes with 0.07" and 0.25" diameter. We derive upper limits of the UV luminosities of the host galaxies of the ``compact'' AGN sample, and upper and lower limits of the UV luminosities of the host galaxies of the ``extended'' AGN sample.These limits are consistent with the knee of the luminosity function of the Lyman Break Galaxies (LBGs) at z=3, suggesting moderate star-formation rates, less than 40 Msolar/yr, in the host galaxies of the AGNs at 2

description: We study Higgs inflation in the Palatini formulation with the renormalisation group improved potential in the case when loop corrections generate a feature similar to an inflection point. Assuming that there is a threshold correction for the Higgs quartic coupling $λ$ and the top Yukawa coupling $y_t$, we scan the three-dimensional parameter space formed by the two jumps and the non-minimal coupling $ξ$. The spectral index $n_s$ can take any value in the observationally allowed range. The lower limit for the running is $α_s>-3.5\times10^{-3}$, and $α_s$ can be as large as the observational upper limit. Running of the running is small. The tensor-to-scalar ratio is $2.2\times 10^{-17}

description: The economic well-being of most U.S. farm households depends on income from both onfarm and off-farm activities. Consequently, for many farm households, economic decisions (including technology adoption and other production decisions) are likely to be shaped by the allocation of managerial time among such activities. While time allocation decisions are usually not measured directly, we observe the outcomes of such decisions, such as onfarm and off-farm income. This report finds that a farm operator’s off-farm employment and off-farm income vary inversely with the size of the farm. Operators of smaller farm operations improve their economic performance by compensating for the scale disadvantages of their farm business with more off-farm involvement. Off-farm work reduces farm-level technical efficiency, but increases household-level technical efficiency. And adoption of agricultural innovations that save managerial time is associated with higher off-farm income.
