description: Communities are of great importance for understanding graph structures in social networks. Some existing community detection algorithms use a single prototype to represent each group. In real applications, this may not adequately model the different types of communities and hence limits the clustering performance on social networks. To address this problem, a Similarity-based Multi-Prototype (SMP) community detection approach is proposed in this paper. In SMP, vertices in each community carry various weights to describe their degree of representativeness. This mechanism enables each community to be represented by more than one node. The centrality of nodes is used to calculate prototype weights, while similarity is utilized to guide us to partitioning the graph. Experimental results on computer generated and real-world networks clearly show that SMP performs well for detecting communities. Moreover, the method could provide richer information for the inner structure of the detected communities with the help of prototype weights compared with the existing community detection models.

description: We consider two dimensional and three dimensional semi-infinite tubes made of "Lambertian" material, so that the distribution of the direction of a reflected light ray has the density proportional to the cosine of the angle with the normal vector. If the light source is far away from the opening of the tube then the exiting rays are (approximately) collimated in two dimensions but are not collimated in three dimensions. An observer looking into the three dimensional tube will see "infinitely bright" spot at the center of vision. In other words, in three dimensions, the light brightness grows to infinity near the center as the light source moves away.

description: Applications of the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) are common. However, few attempts have focused on the tropics like in the Yen Bai province, Vietnam. Annual water-induced soil erosion (WSE) rates and surface runoff (SR) were estimated. The Nam Kim and Ngoi Hut watersheds were calibrated with accepted agreement between simulated and observed discharge. Correlations between precipitation, land covers, surface runoff and WSE were indicated. Although the estimated average WSE 4.1 t ha−1 year−1 (t ha−1 y−1) was moderate, some steep-bare areas were suffering serious soil loss of 26 t ha−1 y−1 and 15% of the province was calculated at the rate of 8.5 t ha−1 y−1. We found that the changes in WSE significantly correlated with land use changes. As calibrated SR matched closely with the measured data, we recommend SWAT applications for long-term soil erosion assessments in the tropics. Những ứng dụng của mô hình công cụ đánh giá đất và nước (SWAT) đã được sử dụng phổ biến. Tuy nhiên có rất ít nghiên cứu tập trung vào khu vực nhiệt đới như tỉnh Yên Bái của Việt Nam. Trong nghiên cứu này, giá trị trung bình năm (2001-2012) nước chảy bề mặt (NCM) và xói mòn đất do nước (XM) đã được đánh giá trên cơ sở mô hình SWAT. Các thông số thủy văn của hai lưu vực sông là Nậm Kim và Ngòi Hút được tính toán và kiểm nghiệm với sự trùng hợp tương đối tốt giữa kết quả mô hình và số liệu thực đo. Mối liên hệ giữa lượng mưa, phủ bề mặt, NCM và XM cũng được phân tích và trình bầy chi tiết. Mặc dù giá trị XM năm được ước lượng ở mức trung bình cho toàn Tỉnh (4,1 tấn/ha/năm) nhưng ở một số khu vực nơi có độ dốc lớn và phủ mặt ít lại có lượng XM năm ở mức cao, 26 tấn/ha/năm và 15% tổng diện tích của Tỉnh có giá trị XM là 8,5 tấn/ha/năn. Kết quả nghiên cứu cho thấy sự liên hệ mật thiết giữa sự thay đổi phủ mặt tới giá trị XM. Trên cơ sở kết quả kiểm nghiệm mô hình khả quan, chúng tôi đề xuất sử dụng mô hình SWAT để đánh giá XM trong thời gian dài cho vùng nhiệt đới.

Sacrificial Cult at Qumran? An Evaluation of the Evidence in the Context of Other Alternate Jewish Practices in the Late Second Temple Period
Creators: name: Epley, Claudia Elizabeth
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: This thesis reexamines the evidence for Jewish sacrificial cult at the site of Khirbet Qumran, the site of the Dead Sea Scrolls, in the first centuries BCE and CE. The interpretation of the animal remains discovered at the site during the excavations conducted by Roland de Vaux and subsequent projects has long been that these bones are refuse from the “pure” meals eaten by the sect, as documented in various documents among the Dead Sea Scrolls. However, recent scholarship has revisited the possibility that the sect residing at Qumran conducted their own animal sacrifices separate from the Jerusalem temple. This thesis argues for the likelihood of a sacrificial cult at Qumran as evidenced by the animal remains, comparable sacrificial practices throughout the Mediterranean, contemporary literary works, and the existence of the Jewish temple at Leontopolis in lower Egypt that existed at the same time that the sect resided at Qumran.

description: Lattice QCD calculations of two-nucleon systems are used to isolate the short-distance two-body electromagnetic contributions to the radiative capture process $np \to dγ$, and the photo-disintegration processes $γ^{(\ast)} d \to np$. In nuclear potential models, such contributions are described by phenomenological meson-exchange currents, while in the present work, they are determined directly from the quark and gluon interactions of QCD. Calculations of neutron-proton energy levels in multiple background magnetic fields are performed at two values of the quark masses, corresponding to pion masses of $m_π\sim 450$ and 806 MeV, and are combined with pionless nuclear effective field theory to determine these low-energy inelastic processes. Extrapolating to the physical pion mass, a cross section of $σ^{lqcd}(np\to dγ)=332.4({\tiny \begin{array}{l}+5.4 \\ - 4.7\end{array}})\ mb$ is obtained at an incident neutron speed of $v=2,200\ m/s$, consistent with the experimental value of $σ^{expt}(np \to dγ) = 334.2(0.5)\ mb$.

description: Extended emission is a mystery in short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs). By making time resolved spectral analyses of brightest nine events observed by ${\it Swift}$ XRT, we obviously classify the early X-ray emission of SGRBs into two types. One is the extended emission with exponentially rapid decay, which shows significant spectral softening during hundreds seconds since the SGRB trigger and is also detected by ${\it Swift}$-BAT. The other is a dim afterglow only showing power-law decay over $10^4$ s. The correlations between the temporal decay and spectral indices of the extended emissions are inconsistent with the $α$-$β$ correlation expected for the high-latitude curvature emission from a uniform jet. The observed too-rapid decay suggests the emission from a photosphere or a patchy surface, and manifests the stopping central engine via such as magnetic reconnection at the black hole.

description: Dissolved Inorganic Carbon (DIC) is one of the main chemical components in water and very sensitive with environmental changes. DIC content in river water closely relates with natural weathering process and human activities in the whole basin. Therefore, DIC concentration reflects the impact of natural conditions and human activities in the basin to river water quality. This paper presents the survey results of the DIC concentrations at 4 sites in the Red River system during the period from January 2008 to December 2015 and simultaneously considers the relationship between some environmental variables and the DIC concentrations in the river water. The survey results showed that the DIC concentrations in the Red River water varied from 9.1 to 29.9 mgC.L-1, averaging 19.6 mgC.L-1 during the study period. The DIC concentrations are positively correlated with pH values and some major ions concentrations in river water, such as K+, Na+, Ca2+, SO42- but negatively correlated with water temperature. These relationships also indicate that the DIC concentrations in the Red River water are influenced by natural conditions, rather than by human activities in the river basin. Cacbon vô cơ hòa tan (DIC) là thành phần hóa học cơ bản trong nước và rất nhạy cảm với những thay đổi của các yếu tố môi trường. DIC có mối liên hệ chặt chẽ với sự phong hóa tự nhiên và các hoạt động của con người trên quy mô toàn lưu vực. Do đó, DIC phản ánh mức độ tác động của các điều kiện tự nhiên và con người trong lưu vực tới chất lượng nước sông. Bài báo trình bày kết quả quan trắc hàm lượng DIC trong nước sông Hồng, đồng thời xem xét mối quan hệ giữa một số yếu tố môi trường với hàm lượng DIC trong nước sông trong giai đoạn 1/2008 – 4/2015. Kết quả cho thấy hàm lượng DIC trong nước sông Hồng dao động trong khoảng 9,1 to 29,9 mgC.L-1, trung bình đạt 19,6 mgC.L-1 trong giai đoạn tháng 1 năm 2008 – tháng 12 năm 2015. Hàm lượng DIC có mối tương quan theo tỷ lệ nghịch với nhiệt độ nước sông; đồng thời có mối tương quan tỷ lệ thuận với giá trị pH và hàm lượng một số ion như K+, Na+, Ca2+, SO42-... tại 4 vị trí quan trắc trên sông Hồng. Các mối quan hệ này thể hiện rằng hàm lượng DIC trong nước sông Hồng chịu ảnh hưởng chính của các đặc điểm tự nhiên hơn là các tác động của con người trong lưu vực.

description: We have studied the electronic and magnetic states of Co and Mn atoms at the interface of the Co$_\mathrm{2}$Mn$_β$Si (CMS)/MgO ($β$=0.69, 0.99, 1.15 and 1.29) magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) by means of x-ray magnetic circular dichroism. In particular, the Mn composition ($β$) dependences of the Mn and Co magnetic moments were investigated. The experimental spin magnetic moments of Mn, $m_\mathrm{spin}$(Mn), derived from XMCD weakly decreased with increasing Mn composition $β$ in going from Mn-deficient to Mn-rich CMS films. This behavior was explained by first-principles calculations based on the antisite-based site-specific formula unit (SSFU) composition model, which assumes the formation of only antisite defect, not vacancies, to accommodate off-stoichiometry. Furthermore, the experimental spin magnetic moments of Co, $m_\mathrm{spin}$(Co), also weakly decreased with increasing Mn composition. This behavior was consistently explained by the antisite-based SSFU model, in particular, by the decrease in the concentration of Co$_\mathrm{Mn}$ antisites detrimental to the half-metallicity of CMS with increasing $β$. This finding is consistent with the higher TMR ratios which have been observed for CMS/MgO/CMS MTJs with Mn-rich CMS electrodes.

description: We present two Arabic texts of historic observations of supernova SN 1006 from Yemen as reported by al-Yamani and Ibn al-Dayba (14th to 16th century AD). An English translation of the report by the latter was given before (Stephenson & Green 2002), but the original Arabic text was not yet published. In addition, we present for the first time the earlier report, also from Yemen, namely by al-Yamani in its original Arabic and with our English translation. It is quite obvious that the report by Ibn al-Dayba is based on the report by al-Yamani (or a common source), but the earlier report by al-Yamani is more detailed and in better (Arabic) language. We discuss in detail the dating of these observations. The most striking difference to other reports about SN 1006 is the apparent early discovery in Yemen in the evening of 15th of Rajab of the year 396h (i.e. AD 1006 Apr 17 \pm 2 on the Julian calendar), as reported by both al-Yamani and Ibn al-Dayba. i.e. about 1.5 weeks earlier than the otherwise earliest known reports. We also briefly discuss other information from the Yemeni reports on brightness, light curve, duration of visibility, location, stationarity, and color.

description: Mariculture has currently brought greatly valuable products in many fields simultaneously released a large amount of wastewater contributing to water pollutions on account of its organic and inorganic constituents. Nowadays, with the development of environmental engineering, more and more approaches, especially friendly-environmental and highly effective wastewater biological methods, are being applied to tackle pollutions and minimize adverse effects of treatments to reach the sustainable development. This report focuses on the study of proliferation combined with elimination of polluting substances of marine algae species Tetraselmis suiscica, Tetraselmis sp., Platymonas sp. in aq- uaculture wastewater sampled from Can Gio District, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam with levels of concentration during 14 days under normal marine algae culture conditions, and compared to that in Daigo’s IMK media. The results shown that, the algae species all grew rapidly simultaneously gave high nutrients removal yields (COD, N, P) and created a considerable amount of biomass within a short period of culture. Particularly, Platomonas sp. and Tetraselmis suiscica could proliferate as well as give high treatment yields of organic substances (COD), PO43-, NO3-, NH4+ and Total Nitrogen in concentrated wastewater. To sum up, this study showed the potential of using microalgae to reduce COD, nitrogen and phosphorus in mariculture wastewater. Ngành nuôi trồng thủy hải sản trong những nằm gần đây đã mang lại nhiều sản phẩm có giá trị trong nhiều lĩnh vực đồng thời thải ra một lượng lớn nước thải gây ô nhiễm nguồn nước bởi các thành phần vô cơ và hữu cơ có trong nước thải. Ngày nay, với sự phát triển của kỹ thuật môi trường, ngày càng nhiều cách tiếp cận, đặc biệt là các phương pháp sinh học hiệu quả cao và thân thiện với môi trường đang được ứng dụng để xử lý ô nhiễm và giảm thiểu hậu quả bất lợi sau xử lý, nhằm hướng tới sự phát triển bền vững. Bài báo cáo tập trung nghiên cứu khả năng sinh trưởng và phát triển của ba loài vi tảo biển Tetraselmis suiscica, Tetraselmis sp., Platymonas sp. kết hợp với việc loại bỏ các hợp chất gây ô nhiễm có trong nước thải từ ao nuôi tôm của huyện Cần Giờ, Việt Nam và so sánh đối chiếu với môi trường dinh dưỡng Daigo’s IMK trong 14 ngày nuôi trồng. Kết quả cho thấy những vi tảo sinh trưởng rất nhanh nhờ vào việc sử dụng các chất ô nhiễm trong nước thải, đặc biệt hiệu suất xử lý COD, PO43-, NO3-, NH4+ và nitơ tổng của Platomonas sp. và Tetraselmis suiscica rất cao thậm chí trong môi trường nước thải đậm đặc. Do đó, chúng tôi kết luận, vi tảo có tiềm năng rất lớn trong việc giảm nồng độ chất hữu cơ, phốt pho và nitơ trong nước thải nuôi trồng thủy hải sản.

description: In Cam Pha city (Quang Ninh province) there existes a lot of vegetation having a high degree of degradation. Findings of the research plots located in 4 years (2012-2015) have shown that, vegetation IC has the largest biomass (biomass fresh: 78.70 tons/ha; dry biomass: 36.65 tons/ha), followed by the grass vegetation (fresh biomass: 62.08 tons/ha; dry biomass: 25.67 tons/ha). Vegetation IA has the lowest biomass (biomass fresh: 33.73 tons/ha; dry biomass: 15.18 tons/ha). The average amount of accumulated carbon in the biomass of vegetation IC is 18.33 tones/ha, in that vegetation IA was 7.60 tones/ha, in the grass vegetation is 12.84 tones/ha. During the ecological succession, vegetation IC showed an increase in the ability to accumulate carbon (the amount of biomass carbon accumulation of vegetation IC in the 4th year was 21.97 tons/ha). In addition, the paper also proposed the suitable methods of using degraded vegetation in Cam Pha city, Quang Ninh province. Ở thành phố Cẩm Phả, tỉnh Quảng Ninh tồn tại nhiều thảm thực vật có mức độ thoái hóa cao. Kết quả nghiên cứu trong các ô nghiên cứu định vị trong 4 năm (2012 - 2015) cho thấy, thảm cây bụi IC có sinh khối lớn nhất (sinh khối tươi: 78,70 tấn/ha; sinh khối khô: 36,65 tấn/ha), tiếp đến là thảm cỏ (sinh khối tươi: 62,08 tấn/ha; sinh khối khô: 25,67 tấn/ha). Thảm cây bụi IA có sinh khối thấp nhất (sinh khối tươi: 33,73 tấn/ha; sinh khối khô: 15,18 tấn/ha). Giữa các thảm thực vật này còn khác nhau về cấu trúc sinh khối và tỷ lệ sinh khối khô / sinh khối tươi. Lượng cacbon trung bình được tích lũy trong sinh khối của thảm thực vật cây bụi IC là 18,33 tấn/ha, ở thảm cây bụi IA là 7,60 tấn/ha, ở thảm cỏ là 12,84 tấn/ha. Trong quá trình diễn thế, thảm cây bụi IC có sự tăng lên về khả năng tích lũy cacbon (Lượng cacbon được tích lũy trong sinh khối của thảm cây bụi IC ở năm thứ 4 là 21,97 tấn/ha). Ngoài ra, bài báo còn đề xuất phương thức sử dụng hợp lý các thảm thực vật thoái hóa ở thành phố Cẩm Phả, tỉnh Quảng Ninh.

Electronic and magnetic properties of orthorhombic iron selenide (FeSe)

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

description: Iron orbitals in orthorhombic iron selenide (FeSe) can produce charge-like multipoles that are polar (parity-odd). Orbitals in question include Fe(3d), Fe(4p) and p-type ligands that participate in transport properties and bonding. The polar multipoles may contribute weak, space-group forbidden Bragg spots to diffraction patterns collected with x-rays tuned in energy to a Fe atomic resonance (Templeton & Templeton scattering). Ordering of conventional, axial magnetic dipoles does not accompany the tetragonal-orthorhombic structural phase transition in FeSe, unlike other known iron-based superconductors. We initiate a new line of inquiry for this puzzling property of orthorhombic FeSe, using a hidden magnetic-order that belongs to the m'm'm' magnetic crystal-class. It is epitomized by the absence of ferromagnetism and axial magnetic dipoles, and the appearance of magnetic monopoles and magneto-electric quadrupoles. A similar magnetic order occurs in cuprate superconductors, YBCO & Hg1201, where it was unveiled with the Kerr effect and in Bragg diffraction patterns revealed by polarized neutrons.

description: We describe various equivalent ways of associating to an orbifold, or more generally a higher étale differentiable stack, a weak homotopy type. Some of these ways extend to arbitrary higher stacks on the site of smooth manifolds, and we show that for a differentiable stack X arising from a Lie groupoid G, the weak homotopy type of X agrees with that of BG. Using this machinery, we are able to find new presentations for the weak homotopy type of certain classifying spaces. In particular, we give a new presentation for the Borel construction of an almost free action of a Lie group G on a smooth manifold M as the classifying space of a category whose objects consists of smooth maps R^n to M which are transverse to all the G-orbits, where n=dim M - dim G. We also prove a generalization of Segal's theorem, which presents the weak homotopy type of Haefliger's groupoid $Γ^q$ as the classifying space of the monoid of self-embeddings of R^q, and our generalization gives analogous presentations for the weak homotopy type of the Lie groupoids $Γ^{Sp}_{2q}$ and $RΓ^q$ which are related to the classification of foliations with transverse symplectic forms and transverse metrics respectively. We also give a short and simple proof of Segal's original theorem using our machinery.

description: The aims of the research are to identify biomass and estimate carbon stock of woody floor at some forest status in Bach Ma National Park and to recommend some solutions in order to improve the effectiveness of forest management toward sustainable development. Collecting the relative data through articles, books, internet information and organizations and inheriting the data from previous research on biomass and carbon stock. Moreover, the research implemented field surveys by designing 31 circular plots (1,256 m2) with three radii including 4 m, 14 m and 20 m for measuring trees from 5 to 20 cm, 20-50 cm and > 50 cm DBH (diameter at breast height), respectively. Correspondingly, D1.3, H were measured. The results showed that biomass of rich, medium and restoration forests are 144.16, 43.17 and 20.31 ton/ ha, respectively. The total average C-stock is calculated as follows: rich forest 264.53 (ton/ha), medium forest (79.21 ton/ha) and restoration forest (37.27 ton/ha). Therefore, the rich forest has the highest CO2 absorption (399.78 ton/ha). Meanwhile, CO2 absorption of medium and restoration forests are 133.13 ton/ha and 46.81 ton/ha.

description: Motivated by relativistic materials, we develop a numerical scheme to support existing or state new conjectures in the spectral optimisation of eigenvalues of the Dirac operator, subject to infinite-mass boundary conditions. We study the optimality of the regular polygon (respectively, disk) among all polygons of a given number of sides (respectively, arbitrary sets), subject to area or perimeter constraints. We consider the three lowest positive eigenvalues and their ratios. Roughly, we find results analogous to known or expected for the Dirichlet Laplacian, except for the third eigenvalue which does not need to be minimised by the regular polygon (respectively, the disk) for all masses. In addition to the numerical results, a new, mass-dependent upper bound to the lowest eigenvalue in rectangles is proved and its extension to arbitrary quadrilaterals is conjectured.

description: A simple Neural Network model is presented for end-to-end visual learning of arithmetic operations from pictures of numbers. The input consists of two pictures, each showing a 7-digit number. The output, also a picture, displays the number showing the result of an arithmetic operation (e.g., addition or subtraction) on the two input numbers. The concepts of a number, or of an operator, are not explicitly introduced. This indicates that addition is a simple cognitive task, which can be learned visually using a very small number of neurons. Other operations, e.g., multiplication, were not learnable using this architecture. Some tasks were not learnable end-to-end (e.g., addition with Roman numerals), but were easily learnable once broken into two separate sub-tasks: a perceptual \textit{Character Recognition} and cognitive \textit{Arithmetic} sub-tasks. This indicates that while some tasks may be easily learnable end-to-end, other may need to be broken into sub-tasks.

description: This paper describes the influence of elevation on woody tree species diversity in Nam Kar Natural Reserve of Daklak, of which remote sensing and GIS techniques were used as the tools in biodiversity inventory and assessment. The whole Reserve area was divided into four elevation classes based on DEM (Digital Elevation Model) using GIS technique. Landsat 8 satellite image was employed to stratify the forest into the four strata. A total of 4 transect lines of 100 m in length and 20 m in width (abbreviated as H1, H2, H3, and H4) established in east-west direction representing for 4 elevation classes was used for surveying biodiversity and stand structure. The different diversity indices were compared among the different elevation classes. The relationships between reflectance value of sat- ellite image, forest strata with biodiversity indices were also analysed. The result shows that the diversity of woody tree species is different among elevation classes. Based on sample plots a total of 135 tree species belonging to 42 genera was found in this area. Although a low inverse correlations were found between number of species composition, basal area, and tree density with DNs, most correlation was statistically insignificant 95%. However, a medium relation between forest strata and number of species composition were found with correlation coefficient r = 0.53 (P<0.00) in the area. Nghiên cứu này đánh giá đa dạng thực vật thân gỗ tại khu bảo tồn thiên nhiên Nam Kar theo các cấp độ cao khác nhau. Nghiên cứu đã sử dụng ảnh vệ tinh và kỹ thuật GIS để hỗ trong trong việc điều tra và đánh giá đa dạng sinh học. Toàn bộ khu bảo tồn được chia thành 4 cấp độ cao dựa vào mô hình số độ cao (DEM) được thực hiện bằng kỹ thuật GIS. Ảnh Landsat 8 đã được sử dụng để phân chia rừng thành 4 khối trạng thái. Có 4 ô tiêu chuẩn dạng dải có kích thước 100m chiều dài và 20m chiều rộng được đặt ở từng đai cao (viết tắt là H1, H2, H3, và H4) theo hướng cố định Đông – Tây để điều tra đa dạng sinh học và cấu trúc lâm phần của thực vật thân gỗ ở từng đai cao. Các chỉ số đa dạng sinh học đã được so sánh trong từng cấp độ cao. Mối quan hệ giữa giá trị ảnh, hiện trạng rừng với các chỉ số đa dạng cũng được phân tích. Kết quả nghiên cứu cho thấy có sự khác biệt về đa dạng loài thực vật thân gỗ theo từng đai cao. Dựa vào ô mẫu nghiên cứu cũng đã ước tính có 135 loài thuộc 42 chi có trong vùng nghiên cứu. Một số đặc điểm lâm phần như thành phần loài, tiết diệt ngang bình quân và mật độ cây có mối tương quan nghịch với giá trị ảnh vệ tinh tuy nhiên mối quan hệ này không có ý nghĩa thống kê ở độ tin cậy 95%. Tuy vậy nghiên cứu cho thấy có mối tương quan tương quan khá chặt giữa số loài và các khối hiện trạng rừng với hệ số tương quan là 0.53 ở mức P<0.00.

Level statistics and localization transitions of Lévy matrices

description: This work provide a thorough study of Lévy or heavy-tailed random matrices (LM). By analysing the self-consistent equation on the probability distribution of the diagonal elements of the resolvent we establish the equation determining the localisation transition and obtain the phase diagram of LMs. Using arguments based on super-symmetric field theory and Dyson Brownian motion we show that the eigenvalue statistics is the same one of the Gaussian Orthogonal Ensemble in the whole delocalised phase and is Poisson in the localised phase. Our numerics confirms these findings, valid in the limit of infinitely large LMs, but also reveals that the characteristic scale governing finite size effects diverges much faster than a power law approaching the transition and is already very large far from it. This leads to a very wide cross-over region in which the system looks as if it were in a mixed phase. Our results, together with the ones obtained previously, provide now a complete theory of Lévy matrices.

Permeability Description by Characteristic Length, Tortuosity, Constriction and Porosity
Creators: name: Berg, Carl Fredrik
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Fluid Dynamics (physics.flu-dyn)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this article we investigate the permeability of a porous medium as given in Darcy's law. The permeability is described by an effective hydraulic pore radius in the porous medium, the fluctuation in local hydraulic pore radii, the length of streamlines, and the fractional volume conducting flow. The effective hydraulic pore radius is related to a characteristic hydraulic length, the fluctuation in local hydraulic radii is related to a constriction factor, the length of streamlines is characterized by a tortuosity, and the fractional volume conducting flow from inlet to outlet is described by an effective porosity. The characteristic length, the constriction factor, the tortuosity and the effective porosity are thus intrinsic descriptors of the pore structure relative to direction. We show that the combined effect of our pore structure description fully describes the permeability of a porous medium. The theory is applied to idealized porous media, where it reproduces Darcy's law for fluid flow derived from the Hagen-Poiseuille equation. We also apply this theory to full network models of Fontainebleau sandstone, where we show how the pore structure and permeability correlate with porosity for such natural porous media. This work establishes how the permeability can be related to porosity, in the sense of Kozeny-Carman, through fundamental and well-defined pore structure parameters: characteristic length, constriction, and tortuosity.

Evidences of an innermost stable bound orbit predicted by general relativity from the amplitude of the twin-peak quasi-periodic oscillations

description: The twin-peak high-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (HF QPOs), observed in the power spectra of low-mass X-ray binaries, might carry relevant clues about the physics laws reigning close to a compact object. Their frequencies are typical of the orbital motion time-scales a few gravitational radii away from the compact object. The aim of the manuscript is to propose an intuitive model explaining that the energy carried by the lower HF QPO can be related to differences of potential energy released by clumps of plasma spiraling in a curved space-time. Our model provides estimates on both the size of clumps of matter that can survive to the strong tidal force and energy loaded by tides on the clump. We also have obtained some constraints on the mechanical properties of the plasma orbiting into the accretion disk. We note that the systematic behavior of the emitted energy as function of the central frequency of the lower HF QPO, observed in several sources with a neutron star, might give clues related to an innermost stable bound orbit predicted by the General Relativity theory in strong field regime.

On the cohomology of quotients of moment-angle complexes
Creators: name: Panov, Taras
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Algebraic Topology (math.AT)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We describe the cohomology of the quotient Z_K/H of a moment-angle complex Z_K by a freely acting subtorus H in T^m by establishing a ring isomorphism of H*(Z_K/H,R) with an appropriate Tor-algebra of the face ring R[K], with coefficients in an arbitrary commutative ring R with unit. This result was stated in [BP02, 7.37] for a field R, but the argument was not sufficiently detailed in the case of nontrivial H and finite characteristic. We prove the collapse of the corresponding Eilenberg-Moore spectral sequence using the extended functoriality of Tor with respect to `strongly homotopy multiplicative' maps in the category DASH, following Munkholm [Mu74]. Our collapse result does not follow from the general results of Gugenheim-May and Munkholm.

description: Vietnam has fundamental advantages to implement the wind power project. Because of being surrounded by sea areas, wind power projects in Vietnam have a promise future. However, implementing an ecotechnic analysis of a wind power project has a fairly challenge because of seasonal change as well as input data’s fluctuation. The paper presented a method based on Matlab programming utilized for ecotechnic analysis the wind power projects. The math diagram built with the consideration of all input data’s changing will be shown to make the ecotechnic analysis easier and faster. The results deducted from Matlab programming will be compared with ones made by expertise method. The conclusion about advantages of method is pointed out to help project managers have another choice in making ecotechnic analysis of wind power project. Việt Nam có những thuận lợi cơ bản để thực thu các dự án điện gió. Do đặc điểm địa lý, bao quanh bởi khá nhiều các vùng biển, các dự án điện gió của Việt Nam có tính khả thi và một tương lai đầy hứa hẹn. Tuy vậy, thực thi các phân tích kinh tế kỹ thuật của một dự án điện gió có thách thức không nhỏ bởi những thay đổi của yếu tố mùa cũng như những thay đổi của các yếu tố đầu vào. Bài báo giới thiệu một phương pháp dựa vào quá trình lập trình trên Matlab, ứng dụng để phân tích kinh tế kỹ thuật các dự án điện gió. Lưu đồ thuật toán được xây dựng có xem xét đến sự thay đổi của các yếu tố đầu vào sẽ giúp quá trình phân tích nhanh hơn và dễ dàng hơn. Các kết quả thu được sẽ được so sánh với các kết quả được tiến hành theo phương pháp chuyên gia. Kết luận về những ưu điểm của phương pháp cũng được đưa ra để giúp các nhà quản lý các dự án điện gió có được lựa chọn nữa trong tiến hành phân tích kinh tế kỹ thuật các dự án điện gió.
