description: An improved high-resolution and deep A$_{Ks}$ foreground dust extinction map is presented for the Galactic disk area within $295^{\circ} \lesssim l \lesssim 350^{\circ}$, $-1.0^{\circ} \lesssim b \lesssim +1.0^{\circ}$. At some longitudes the map reaches up to $|b|\sim2.25^{\circ}$, for a total of $\sim$148 deg$^2$. The map was constructed via the Rayleigh-Jeans Color Excess (RJCE) technique based on deep near-infrared (NIR) and mid-infrared (MIR) photometry. The new extinction map features a maximum bin size of 1', and relies on NIR observations from the Two Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS) and new data from ESO's Vista Variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV) survey, in concert with MIR observations from the Galactic Legacy Infrared Mid-Plane Survey Extraordinaire (GLIMPSE). The VVV photometry penetrates $\sim$4 magnitudes fainter than 2MASS, and provides enhanced sampling of the underlying stellar populations in this heavily obscured region. Consequently, the new results supersede existing RJCE maps tied solely to brighter photometry, revealing a systematic underestimation of extinction in prior work that was based on shallower data. The new high-resolution and large-scale extinction map presented here is readily available to the community through a web query interface.

description: Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is a mechanical disorder of the vestibular system in which calcite particles called otoconia interfere with the mechanical functioning of the fluid-filled semicircular canals normally used to sense rotation. Using hydrodynamic models, we examine the two mechanisms proposed by the medical community for BPPV: cupulolithiasis, in which otoconia attach directly to the cupula (a sensory membrane), and canalithiasis, in which otoconia settle through the canals and exert a fluid pressure across the cupula. We utilize known hydrodynamic calculations and make reasonable geometric and physical approximations to derive an expression for the transcupular pressure $ΔP_c$ exerted by a settling solid particle in canalithiasis. By tracking settling otoconia in a two-dimensional model geometry, the cupular volume displacement and associated eye response (nystagmus) can be calculated quantitatively. Several important features emerge: 1) A pressure amplification occurs as otoconia enter a narrowing duct; 2) An average-sized otoconium requires approximately five seconds to settle through the wide ampulla, where $ΔP_c$ is not amplified, which suggests a mechanism for the observed latency of BPPV; and 3) An average-sized otoconium beginning below the center of the cupula can cause a volumetric cupular displacement on the order of 30 pL, with nystagmus of order $2^\circ$/s, which is approximately the threshold for sensation. Larger cupular volume displacement and nystagmus could result from larger and/or multiple otoconia.

Cascades of subharmonic stationary states in strongly non-linear driven planar systems

Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Chaotic Dynamics (nlin.CD)

description: The dynamics of a one-degree of freedom oscillator with arbitrary polynomial non-linearity subjected to an external periodic excitation is studied. The sequences (cascades) of harmonic and subharmonic stationary solutions to the equation of motion are obtained by using the harmonic balance approximation adapted for arbitrary truncation numbers, powers of non-linearity, and orders of subharmonics. A scheme for investigating the stability of the harmonic balance stationary solutions of such a general form is developed on the basis of the Floquet theorem. Besides establishing the stable/unstable nature of a stationary solution, its stability analysis allows obtaining the regions of parameters, where symmetry-breaking and period-doubling bifurcations occur. Thus, for period-doubling cascades, each unstable stationary solution is used as a base solution for finding a subsequent stationary state in a cascade. The procedure is repeated until this stationary state becomes stable provided that a stable solution can finally be achieved. The proposed technique is applied to calculate the sequences of subharmonic stationary states in driven hardening Duffing's oscillator. The existence of stable subharmonic motions found is confirmed by solving the differential equation of motion numerically by means of a time-difference method, with initial conditions being supplied by the harmonic balance approximation.

A schlieren method for ultra-low angle light scattering measurements

Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Optics (physics.optics)

description: We describe a self calibrating optical technique that allows to perform absolute measurements of scattering cross sections for the light scattered at extremely small angles. Very good performances are obtained by using a very simple optical layout similar to that used for the schlieren method, a technique traditionally used for mapping local refraction index changes. The scattered intensity distribution is recovered by a statistical analysis of the random interference of the light scattered in a half-plane of the scattering wave vectors and the main transmitted beam. High quality data can be obtained by proper statistical accumulation of scattered intensity frames, and the static stray light contributions can be eliminated rigorously. The potentialities of the method are tested in a scattering experiment from non equilibrium fluctuations during a free diffusion experiment. Contributions of light scattered from length scales as long as Lambda=1 mm can be accurately determined.

description: The rotational bands in the neutron-rich nuclei $^{153-157}$Pm are investigated by a particle-number conserving method. The kinematic moments of inertia for the 1-quasiparticle bands in odd-$A$ Pm isotopes $^{153, 155, 157}$Pm are reproduced quite well by the present calculation. By comparison between the experimental and calculated moments of inertia for the three 2-quasiparticle bands in the odd-odd nuclei $^{154, 156}$Pm, their configurations and bandhead spins have been assigned properly. For the 2-quasiparticle band in $^{154}$Pm, the configuration is assigned as $\pi5/2^-[532]\otimes \nu3/2^-[521]$ ($K^π=4^+$) with the bandhead spin $I_0=4\hbar$. In $^{156}$Pm, the same configuration and bandhead spin assignments have been made for the 2-quasiparticle band with lower excitation energy. The configuration $\pi5/2^+[413]\otimes \nu5/2^+[642]$ ($K^π=5^+$) with the bandhead spin $I_0=5\hbar$ is assigned for that with higher excitation energy.

description: Among the different production factors, land is the one that most often limits farm development and one of the most studied. The connection between policy and other context variables and land markets is at the core of the policy debate, including the present reform of the Common Agricultural Policy. The proposal of the latter has been published in October 2011 and in Italy it will include the switch of the payment regime from an historical to a regional basis. The authors’ objective is to simulate the impact of the proposed policy reform on the land market, particularly on land values and propensity to transaction. They combine insights and data from a farm household investment model revised and extended in order to simulate the demand curve for land in different policy scenarios and a survey of farmers stated intention carried out in the province of Bologna (Italy) in 2012. Based on these results, the authors calibrate a mathematical programming model of land market exchanges for the province of Bologna and use this model form simulation. The results of the model largely corroborate the results from the survey and both hint at a relevant reaction of the land demand and supply to the shift from the historical to the regionalised payments. As effect, the regionalisation would result in increased rental prices and in a tendency to the re-allocation of land.

description: This paper investigates the impacts of high interest rates for borrowed capital and credit restrictions on the structural development of four European regions. The method used is the model AgriPoliS which is a spatial-dynamic agent-based model. It is able to provide aggregated results at the regional level, but very individual results as well by considering farms as independent entities. Farms can choose between different investment options during the simulation. Several scenarios with different interest rates for borrowed capital on the one hand as well as with different levels of credit restrictions on the other hand are tested and compared. Results show that higher interest rates have less impact on declining production branches than on expanding ones. If they have the possibility farms invest in the most profitable production branch which relative profitability might have changed with high interest rates. Credit restrictions lead farms to choose smaller and cheaper investments than expensive and large ones. Results also show that income losses in both cases due to under-investment compared to the reference situation are partially compensated by lower rental prices. The impacts on structural change also differ depending on the region and the initial situation. In summary, credit subsidies or imperfections on credit markets might have indirect impacts on the type of dominant investment and therefore on the whole regional agricultural sector as well.
title: Language and Cultural Identity in Post-Soviet Frozen Conflicts
Creators: name: Paquette, Irina
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: How we, as humans, define ourselves and our national and ethnic distinction often centers on visible characteristics—physical features, group traditions, and language. Of those, language is both mutable and plays such a central role in daily life that it is often a hotly contested and manipulated factor in defining national identity. This paper examines the role language has played in the formation of crisis situations in the former Soviet Union. Linguistic identity has been used as a basis to establish the legitimacy of independence for both Soviet republics and separatist groups within those republics. As such, it is a highly manipulated factor in the development and resolution of conflicts in the region.

This thesis examines the role that linguistic identity has played in conflicts in the post-Soviet space. It looks at several case studies and extracts the various factors of linguistic identity and its interplay in daily life to build a profile of how language is manipulated in those societies. Through this lens, the paper seeks to understand how both language affects these conflicts and how the conflicts affect the evolution of linguistic ability in the regions.

By analyzing these factors, the thesis concludes that language and linguistic identity play a large role in the development of conflict in the regions, but only as tools to motivate voter bases for self-interested politicians and as a convenient lever of soft power for external influence. These factors are easily manipulated due to their visibility in all aspects of daily life and the relative mutability of linguistic ability as a factor of ethnic identity. The fact that conflict in the European post-Soviet states is a direct benefit to Russia, as it disqualifies those states for membership in European political and security institutions, explains the prevalence of conflict in those states and the relative harmony seen in Central Asia. The paper also finds that the presence of frozen conflicts can actually have a stabilizing effect on linguistic-identity based conflict in the region by providing negotiating forums as stable avenues for the legitimate statement of grievances beyond fiery rhetoric.

description: We show that any SYK-like model with finite-body interactions among \textit{local} degrees of freedom, e.g., bosons or spins, has a fundamental difference from the standard fermionic model: the former fails to be described by an annealed free energy at low temperature. In this respect, such models more closely resemble spin glasses. We demonstrate this by two means: first, a general theorem proving that the annealed free energy is divergent at low temperature in any model with a tensor product Hilbert space; and second, a replica treatment of two prominent examples which exhibit phase transitions from an "annealed" phase to a "non-annealed" phase as a function of temperature. We further show that this effect appears only at $O(N)$'th order in a $1/N$ expansion, even though lower-order terms misleadingly seem to converge. Our results prove that the non-bosonic nature of the particles in SYK is an essential ingredient for its physics, highlight connections between local models and spin glasses, and raise important questions as to the role of fermions and/or glassiness in holography.

description: We describe an optical technique based on the statistical analysis of the random intensity distribution due to the interference of the near-field scattered light with the strong transmitted beam. It is shown that, from the study of the two-dimensional power spectrum of the intensity, one derives the scattered intensity as a function of the scattering wave vector. Near-field conditions are specified and discussed. The substantial advantages over traditional scattering technique are pointed out, and is indicated that the technique could be of interest for wave lengths other than visible light.

description: This paper completes the comparative analysis of the investment demand behaviour, of a sample of specialised arable crop farms, for farm buildings and machinery and equipment, as a function of the different types and levels of Common Agricultural Policy support, in selected European Union Member States. This contribution focuses on their quantitative interdependence calculating the relevant elasticity measures. In turn, they constitute the methodological tool to simulate the percentage expected change in average net investment levels associated to the implementation of the, recently proposed and currently under discussion, reductions in the Pillar I Direct Payments disbursed under the Common Agricultural Policy. Evidence suggests a statistically significant elastic and inelastic relationship between both types of subsidies and the investment levels for both asset classes in Germany and Italy, respectively. An elastic dependence of investment in farm buildings on decoupled subsidies exists in Hungary while changes in the level of coupled payments appear to translate into less than proportional changes in the demand for both farm buildings and machinery and equipment in France. Coupled payments appear to influence the UK demand for both asset classes in an elastic manner while decoupled support seems to induce a similar effect on investment in machinery and equipment. Since the currently discussed Common Agricultural Policy reform options imply, almost exclusively, a reduction in the level of support granted through Direct Payments, simulated effects were expected to reveal a worsening of the farm investment prospects for both asset types (i.e., a larger negative investment or a smaller positive one). The actual evidence largely respects this expectation with the sole exception of investment in machinery and equipment in France and Italy reaching smaller negative or larger positive levels irrespectively of the magnitude of the implemented cuts in Direct Payments.

description: This paper examines the drivers of productivity in EU agriculture from a factor markets perspective. Using econometrically estimated production elasticities and shadow prices of factors for a set of eight EU member states, we focus on field crop farms represented in the FADN database for the years 2002-08. As it turned out that output reacts most elastically to materials input, we investigate this factor further and find different rationing regimes represented in different member states. Marginal return on materials is low in Denmark and West Germany, but significantly above typical market interest rates in East Germany, Italy and Spain. In the latter countries and in Denmark it also increased towards the end of the observed period. This finding is consistent with a perception of tightening funding access, possibly induced or reinforced by the unfolding financial crisis. Marginal returns to land, labour and fixed capital are generally low. We conclude that the functioning of factor markets plays a crucial role for productivity growth, but that factor market operations display considerable heterogeneity across EU member states.

description: This study, carried out in the context of the Factor Markets research project, investigates the impact of the SAPS (Single Area Payment Scheme) on farmland rental rates in the new EU member states. Using a unique set of farm level panel data with 20,930 observations for 2004 and 2005 we are able to control for important sources of endogeneity. According to our results, the SAPS has a positive and statistically significant impact on land rents in the EU. However, the estimated incidence is smaller than predicted theoretically. Land rents capture only 19 cents of the marginal SAPS euro, and around 10% of the SAPS benefit non-farming landowners through higher farmland rental prices. As the share of rented land is higher in corporate farms than individual ones, family farms benefit more from the SAPS than corporate farms do.
Does it matter how much land your neighbour owns? The functioning of land markets in Poland from a social comparison perspective

description: While many factors have been studied in relation to the functioning of land markets, the role of land distribution has received relatively little attention. In this paper, we ask to what extent farmers’ propensity to buy land is related to the difference between them and their neighbours in terms of land ownership. To this end, we employ the concept of relative deprivation. Drawing on micro-level data from the transition period in Poland and using both OLS and instrumental variables strategy, we find that interpersonal comparisons with others in one’s reference group may have motivated a farmer’s behaviour in the land market. In particular, the propensity to purchase land is positively associated with experiencing higher relative deprivation. In addition, this relationship waned over time in a predictable manner: late in the transition period it was weaker than at the beginning of the period.
Finite state codes and generalized De Bruijn sequences
Creators: name: Popovic, Lada
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1991
Subjects: Electrical Engineering

description: This thesis is divided into two self-contained chapters. The first chapter is a study of Finite State Codes. We address the question of unique decodability (UD) of the labelled state diagram which defines the finite state machine-part of the encoder for these codes. Bounds on the number of labels and resolving length are given for regular state diagrams. We show that minimal convolutional encoders can be used as finite state machines to produce UD labellings which are often optimal with respect to number of labels and resolving length. We finish with some constructions which demonstrate how block and convolutional codes can be integrated to obtain finite state codes of high rate and large free distance.

The second chapter introduces and analyzes a family of shift-register sequences which generalize the well-known de Bruijn sequences. A (q, v) de Bruijn sequence is a periodic sequence of letters from a q-ary alphabet such that any given v-tuple appears exactly once as a 'window' in a period. We introduce Generalized de Bruijn Sequences, which involve several sequences in parallel and an irregularly shaped window, plus the requirement that every possible window content should appear n times per period. The existence of such sequences is proved by construction, and a formula for their number is derived. The classical de Bruijn sequences can then be regarded as a special case of this new family.

description: Bounds on high-order derivative moments of a passive scalar are obtained for large values of the Schmidt number, $Sc$. The procedure is based on the approach pioneered by Batchelor for the viscous-convective range. The upper bounds for derivative moments of order $n$ are shown to grow as $Sc^{n/2}$ for very large Schmidt numbers. The results are consistent with direct numerical simulations of a passive scalar, whose $Sc$ varies between 1/4 and 64, mixed by homogeneous isotropic turbulence. Although the analysis does not provide proper bounds for normalized moments, the combination of analysis and numerical data suggests that they decay with $Sc$, at least for odd orders.

On Doppler shift and its Center-to-Limb Variation in Active Regions in the Transition Region

description: A comprehensive understanding of the structure of Doppler motions in transition region including the center-to-limb variation and its relationship with the magnetic field structure is vital for the understanding of mass and energy transfer in the solar atmosphere. In this paper, we have performed such a study in an active region using the Si IV 1394~Å emission line recorded by the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) and the line-of-sight photospheric magnetic field obtained by the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) on-board the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). The active region has two opposite polarity strong field regions separated by a weak field corridor, which widened as the active region evolved. On average the strong field regions (corridor) show(s) redshifts of 5{--}10 (3{--}9)~km~s$^{-1}$ (depending on the date of observation). There is, however, a narrow lane in the middle of the corridor with near-zero Doppler shifts at all disk positions, suggesting that any flows there are very slow. The Doppler velocity distributions in the corridor seem to have two components---a low velocity component centered near 0 km/s and a high velocity component centered near 10~km~s$^{-1}$. The high velocity component is similar to the velocity distributions in the strong field regions, which have just one component. Both exhibit a small center-to limb variation and seem to come from the same population of flows. To explain these results, we suggest that the emission from the lower transition region comes primarily from warm type II spicules, and we introduce the idea of a `chromospheric wall'---associated with classical cold spicules---to account for a diminished center-to-limb variation.
