description: The traditional supply response function is modified to include anticipated and unanticipated prices. Agricultural supply response functions for grains and livestock are specified and estimated within a rational expectations framework. Test results suggest that supply does not respond to anticipated prices in the same way as unanticipated prices for both commodities considered.

description: Single-particle resonant states in spherical nuclei are studied by an analytic continuation in the coupling constant (ACCC) method within the framework of the self-consistent relativistic mean field (RMF) theory. Taking the neutron resonant state $ν1g_{9/2}$ in $^{60}$Ca as an example, we examine the analyticity of the eigenvalue and eigenfunction for the Dirac equation with respect to the coupling constant by means of a $\pade$ approximant of the second kind. The RMF-ACCC approach is then applied to $^{122}$Zr and, for the first time, this approach is employed to investigate both the energies, widths and wave functions for $l\ne 0$ resonant states close to the continuum threshold. Predictions are also compared with corresponding results obtained from the scattering phase shift method.

description: We investigate observational constraints on cosmological parameters combining 15 measurements of the transversal BAO scale (obtained free of any fiducial cosmology) with Planck-CMB data to explore the parametric space of some cosmological models. We investigate how much Planck + transversal BAO data can constraint the minimum $Λ$CDM model, and extensions, including neutrinos mass scale $M_ν$, and the possibility for a dynamical dark energy (DE) scenario. Assuming the $Λ$CDM cosmology, we find $H_0 = 69.23 \pm 0.50$ km s${}^{-1}$ Mpc${}^{-1}$, $M_ν < 0.11$ eV and $r_{\rm drag} = 147.59 \pm 0.26$ Mpc (the sound horizon at drag epoch) from Planck + transversal BAO data. When assuming a dynamical DE cosmology, we find that the inclusion of the BAO data can indeed break the degeneracy of the DE free parameters, improving the constraints on the full parameter space significantly. We note that the model is compatible with local measurements of $H_0$ and there is no tension on $H_0$ estimates in this dynamical DE context. Also, we discuss constraints and consequences from a joint analysis with the local $H_0$ measurement from SH0ES. Finally, we perform a model-independent analysis for the deceleration parameter, $q(z)$, using only information from transversal BAO data.

description: We show how super BF theory in any dimension can be quantized as a spin foam model, generalizing the situation for ordinary BF theory. This is a first step toward quantizing supergravity theories. We investigate in particular 3-dimensional (p=1,q=1) supergravity which we quantize exactly. We obtain a super-Ponzano-Regge model with gauge group OSp(1|2). A main motivation for our approach is the implementation of fermionic degrees of freedom in spin foam models. Indeed, we propose a description of the fermionic degrees of freedom in our model. Complementing the path integral approach we also discuss aspects of a canonical quantization in the spirit of loop quantum gravity. Finally, we comment on 2+1-dimensional quantum supergravity and the inclusion of a cosmological constant.

Initial estimate for minimum energy pathways and transition states using velocities in internal coordinates
Creators: name: Palenik, Mark C
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Chemical Physics (physics.chem-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Many algorithms for finding reaction pathways require an initial estimate of the minimum energy path (MEP). Most estimation methods use a variational approach and thus must be seeded from an even simpler path, such as one generated by Cartesian interpolation. Often, care must be taken to avoid atomic intersections in this seed path, and the estimator itself may potentially converge to multiple undesirable local minima. As an alternative we form an initial estimate by numerically integrating a velocity vector field that is projected from redundant internal coordinates into the Cartesian manifold. We compare this method to the image dependent pair potential, the geodesic method, and linear Cartesian interpolation using three test cases: the rotation of a methyl group in ethane, HCN$\to$HNC tautomerization, and HONO elimination from dimethylnitramine. In the first test case, a zero-temperature string calculation seeded with our method converges to the MEP in significantly fewer geometry and SCF cycles than any of the others, while in the second, only the geodesic method slightly outperformed ours. In the third test case, we used the midpoint of each path as an initial guess for a transition state calculation. Our midpoint was geometrically the closest to the true transition state and converged in the fewest geometry and SCF cycles.

description: We have examined VTL/ISAAC 1-2.5 $\umu$m spectroscopy of a sample of short orbital period cataclysmic variables which are candidates for harboring substellar companions. We provide descriptions of the infrared spectrum of \hbox{EI Psc}, \hbox{V834 Cen}, \hbox{WX Cet}, \hbox{VW Hyi}, \hbox{TY PsA} and \hbox{BW Scl}. Fitting of the IR spectral energy distribution (SED) was performed by comparing the observed spectrum with late-type templates. Absorption features of the secondary star were detected in \hbox{EI Psc} and \hbox{V834 Cen}, consistent with dwarf secondaries of spectral type K 5 $\pm$ 1 and M 8 $\pm$ 0.5, respectively. In addition, we report the first detection of the secondary star in \hbox{VW Hyi}. The SED in this case is well matched by an L 0 $\pm$ 2 type secondary contributing 23 per cent to the overall flux at $λ$ = 1.15 $\umu$m. This is a surprising result for a system with a relatively high mass transfer rate. We discuss the implication of our findings on the current scenarios for cataclysmic variable star evolution.

description: Two-fluid Braginskii codes have simulated open-field line turbulence for over a decade, and only recently has it become possible to study these systems with continuum gyrokinetic codes. This work presents a first-of-its-kind comparison between fluid and (long-wavelength) gyrokinetic models in open field-lines, using the GDB and Gkeyll codes to simulate interchange turbulence in the Helimak device at the University of Texas (T. N. Bernard, et. al., Phys. of Plasmas 26, 042301 (2019)). Partial agreement is attained in a number of diagnostic channels when the GDB sources and sheath boundary conditions (BCs) are selected carefully, especially the heat-flux BCs which can drastically alter the temperature. The radial profile of the fluctuation levels is qualitatively similar and quantitatively comparable on the low-field side, although statistics such as moments of the probability density function and the high-frequency spectrum show greater differences. This comparison indicates areas for future improvement in both simulations, such as sheath BCs, as well as improvements in GDB like particle conservation and spatially varying thermal conductivity, in order to achieve better fluid-gyrokinetic agreement and increase fidelity when simulating experiments.

description: The current study was designed to test a model predicting fathers' involvement in child care and household labor. Participants were 120 couples of 1-to-4 year old children. The participants were recruited from 12 local daycares. Mothers and fathers independently completed a measure assessing participation in child care and household labor; the Kansas Marital Satisfaction Scale (Schumm et al., 1986); the Male Role. Norms Inventory (Levant et al., 1992); a measure assessing beliefs about the parental role (Bonney & Kelley, 1996); and a demographic questionnaire. The LISREL approach to data analysis was employed. The findings indicate that the following constructs work together in order to increase paternal involvement in child care: marital satisfaction, paternal competence, paternal masculinity ideology, paternal beliefs concerning the parental role, paternal number of hours worked per week, and maternal number of hours worked per week.

description: In this Letter we have shown that, from the standard thermodynamic functions, the mathematical form of an equipartition theorem may be related to the algebraic expression of a particular entropy initially chosen to describe the black hole thermodynamics. Namely, we have different equipartition expressions for distinct statistics. To this end, four different mathematical expressions for the entropy have been selected to demonstrate our objective. Furthermore, a possible phase transition is observed in the heat capacity behavior of the Tsallis and Cirto entropy model.

description: New subarcsecond FUV observations of T Tau with HST/STIS show spatially resolved structures in the 2"x2" area around the star. The structures show in multiline emission of fluorescent H_2 pumped by Lyman alpha. One emission structure follows the cavity walls observed around T Tau N in scattered light in the optical. A temperature greater or equal to 1000K is required to have enough population in the H_2 to produce the observed fluorescent lines; in the cool environment of the T Tau system, shock heating is required to achieve this temperature at distances of a few tens of AU. Fluorescent H_2 along the cavity wall represents the best evidence to date for the action of low-density, wide-opening-angle outflows driving cavities into the molecular medium at scales smaller than 100 AU. A southern region of emission consists of two arcs, with shape and orientation similar to the arcs of H_2 2.12 microns and forbidden line emission crossing the outflow associated with the embedded system T Tau S. This region is located near the centroid of forbidden line emission at the blueshifted lobe of the N-S outflow.

description: We analyze random isotropic antiferromagnetic SU(N) spin chains using the real space renormalization group. We find that they are governed at low energies by a universal infinite randomness fixed point different from the one of random spin-1/2 chains. We determine analytically the important exponents: the energy-length scale relation is $Ω\sim\exp(-L^ψ)$, where $ψ=1/N$, and the mean correlation function is given by $\bar{C_{ij}}\sim(-1)^{i-j}/|i-j|^ϕ$, where $ϕ=4/N$. Our analysis shows that the infinite-N limit is unable to capture the behavior obtained at any finite N.

description: In present article the self-contained derivation of eigenvalue inverse problem results is given by using a discrete approximation of the Schroedinger operator on a bounded interval as a finite three-diagonal symmetric Jacobi matrix. This derivation is more correct in comparison with previous works which used only single-diagonal matrix. It is demonstrated that inverse problem procedure is nothing else than well known Gram-Schmidt orthonormalization in Euclidean space for special vectors numbered by the space coordinate index. All the results of usual inverse problem with continuous coordinate are reobtained by employing a limiting procedure, including the Goursat problem -- equation in partial derivatives for the solutions of the inversion integral equation.

description: Color centers in solids, such as the nitrogen-vacancy center in diamond, offer well-protected and well-controlled localized electron spins that can be employed in various quantum technologies. Moreover, the long coherence time of the surrounding spinful nuclei can enable a robust quantum register controlled through the color center. We design pulse sequence protocols that drive the electron spin to generate robust entangling gates with these nuclear memory qubits. We find that compared to using Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill (CPMG) alone, Uhrig decoupling sequence and hybrid protocols composed of CPMG and Uhrig sequences improve these entangling gates in terms of fidelity, spin control range, and spin selectivity. We provide analytical expressions for the sequence protocols and also show numerically the efficacy of our method on nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond. Our results are broadly applicable to color centers weakly coupled to a small number of nuclear spin qubits.

Polarization asymmetry in CSS sources: evidence of AGN fuel?

Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The compact steep spectrum and gigahertz peaked spectrum sources are widely believed to be young radio sources, with ages <10^6 yr. If the activity in the nucleus is fuelled by the supply of gas, one might find evidence of this gas by studying the structural and polarization characteristics of CSS sources as these evolve through this gas. We present polarization observations of a sample of CSS sources, and combine our results with those available in the literature, to show that CSS sources are more asymmetric in the polarization of the outer lobes compared with the more extended ones. We suggest that this could be possibly due to interaction of the jets with infalling material, which fuels the radio source. We also investigate possible dependence of the polarization asymmetry of the lobes on redshift, since this might be affected by more interactions and mergers in the past. No such dependence is found for the CSS sources, suggesting that the environments on the CSS scales are similar at different redshifts. However, the polarization asymmetry of the oppositely-directed lobes is larger at higher redshifts for the more extended sources, possibly reflecting the higher incidence of interactions in the past.

description: There is no single cohesive guide to help student run clubs and groups get the information and resources they need with ease and in timely manner when planning their respective events. The creation and implementation of a Recreation Programming Toolkit would provide a comprehensive guideline on how to navigate UBC’s supportive services and resources that student groups can use when wanting to organize recreation programming for their constituent. The purpose of the toolkit will be to empower these student groups, improve access to recreation for UBC community members, and to advance wellbeing at UBC. Our specific research goal was to identify barriers that AMS and non-AMS campus groups face when organizing recreation programming, so that our recommendations for the tool kit reflect the needs of both of these groups. We conducted qualitative semi-structured interviews with current and past leaders from student-run organizations that have experience running and promoting events on and off campus. After conducting a thematic analysis on the results, we concluded 3 major recommendations that should be considered when creating the toolkit. (1) Implementation and promotion of an interactive database to student clubs, (2) A campus wide directory of all the types of clubs on campus in one central spot that is easy to access by all UBC students, (3) Changing the platform for shared calendars amongst campus groups.

description: Intermolecular dynamics of highly excited DCO (X^2A') is studied from a classical-quantum perspective using the effective spectroscopic Hamiltonian proposed recently by Trollch and Temps (Z. Phy. Chem. 215, 207 (2001)). This work focuses on the polyads P = 3 and P = 4 corresponding to excitation energies E_v ~ 5100 cm^-1 and 7000 cm^-1 respectively. The majority of states belonging to these polyads are dynamically assigned, despite extensive stochasticity in the classical phase space, using the recently proposed technique of level velocities. A wavelet based time-frequency analysis is used to reveal the nature of phase space transport and the relevant dynamical bottlenecks. The local frequency analysis clearly illustrates the existence of mode-specific IVR dynamics i.e., differing nature of the IVR dynamics ensuing from CO stretch and the DCO bend bright states. In addition the role of the weak Fermi resonance involving the CO stretch and DCO bend modes is investigated. A key feature of the present work is that the techniques utilized for the analysis i.e., parametric variations and local frequency analysis are not limited by the dimensionality of the system. This study, thus, explores the potential for understanding IVR in large molecules from both time domain and frequency domain perspectives.

description: The features of the concurrences of the nearest-neighbor and the next-nearest-neighbor sites for one-dimensional Heisenberg model with the next-nearest-neighbor interaction are studied both at the ground state and finite temperatures respectively. Both concurrences are found to exhibit different behaviors at the ground state, which is clarified from the point of view of the correlation function. The threshold temperature with respective to different number of sites and the thermal concurrences of the system up to 12 sites are studied numerically.

description: Imaging mechanisms in contact Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy (cKPFM) are explored via information theory-based methods. Gaussian Processes are used to achieve super-resolution in the cKPFM signal, effectively extrapolating across the spatial and parameter space. Tensor matrix factorization is applied to reduce the multidimensional signal to the tensor convolution of the scalar functions that show clear trending behavior with the imaging parameters. These methods establish a workflow for the analysis of the multidimensional data sets, that can then be related to the relevant physical mechanisms. We also provide an interactive Google Colab notebook (http://bit.ly/39kMtuR) that goes through all the analysis discussed in the paper.

A movie of a star: multi-epoch VLBA imaging of the SiO masers towards the Mira variable TX Cam

description: We describe an observing campaign using the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) to monitor the time-evolution of the v=1, J=1-0 SiO maser emission towards the Mira variable TX Cam. The data reported here cover the period 1997 May 24 to 1999 February 19, during which the SiO maser emission was imaged at approximately bi-weekly intervals. The result is an animated movie at an angular resolution of ~500 microarcsec, over a full pulsation period, of the gas motions in the near circumstellar environment of this star, as traced by the SiO maser emission. This paper serves to release the movie and is the first in a series concerning the scientific results from this observing campaign. In this paper, we discuss the global proper motion of the SiO maser emission as a function of pulsation phase. We measure a dominant expansion mode between optical phases $ϕ\sim 0.7-1.5$ confirming ballistic deceleration, and compare this to predictions from existing pulsation models for late-type, evolved stars. Local infall and outflow motions are superimposed on the dominant expansion mode, and non-radial local gas motions are also evident for individual SiO maser components. The overall morphology and evolution of the SiO emission deviates significantly from spherical symmetry, with important implications for models of pulsation kinematics in the near-circumstellar environments of Mira variables.

Bright stars and an inactive disk in Sgr A* and other dormant galaxy centers. I. The optically thick disk

description: Cold inactive disks are believed to exist in Low Luminosity AGN (LLAGN). They may also exist in the nuclei of inactive galaxies and in the center of our own Galaxy. These disks would then be embedded in the observed dense nuclear stellar clusters. Making the simplest assumption of an optically thick disk, we explore several ways to detect the disk presence through its interaction with the cluster. First of these is the eclipses of close bright stars by the disk. The second is the increase in the infrared flux of the disk due to illumination of its surface by such stars during close passages. Finally the surface brightness of the star cluster should show an anisotropy that depends on the inclination angle of the disk. We apply the first two of the methods to Sgr A*, the super massive black hole in our Galactic Center. Using the orbital parameters of the close star S2, we strongly rule out a disk optically thick in the near infrared unless it has a relatively large inner hole. For disks with no inner holes, we estimate that the data permit a disk with infrared optical depth no larger than about 0.01. Such a disk could also be responsible for the detected 3.8 microns excess in the spectrum of S2. The constraints on the disk that we obtain here can be reconciled with the disk parameters needed to explain the observed X-ray flares if dust particles in the disk have sizes greater than ~ 30 microns. The destruction of small dust particles by strong UV heating and shocks from star passages through the disk, and grain growth during "quiescent" times, are mentioned as possible mechanisms of creating the unusual grain size distribution.

Redshift-space streaming velocity effects on the Lyman-$α$ forest baryon acoustic oscillation scale

description: The baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) scale acts as a standard ruler for measuring cosmological distances and has therefore emerged as a leading probe of cosmic expansion history. However, any physical effect that alters the length of the ruler can lead to a bias in our determination of distance and expansion rate. One of these physical effects is the streaming velocity, the relative velocity between baryons and dark matter in the early Universe, which couples to the BAO scale due to their common origin in acoustic waves at recombination. In this work, we investigate the impact of streaming velocity on the BAO feature of the Lyman-$α$ forest auto-power spectrum, one of the main tracers being used by the recently commissioned DESI spectrograph. To do this, we develop a new perturbative model for Lyman-$α$ flux density contrast which is complete to second order for a certain set of fields, and applicable to any redshift-space tracer of structure since it is based only on symmetry considerations. We find that there are 8 biasing coefficients through second order. We find streaming velocity-induced shifts in the BAO scale of 0.081--0.149% (transverse direction) and 0.053--0.058% (radial direction), depending on the model for the biasing coefficients used. These are smaller than, but not negligible compared to, the DESI Lyman-$α$ BAO error budget, which is 0.46% on the overall scale. The sensitivity of these results to our choice of bias parameters underscores the need for future work to measure the higher-order biasing coefficients from simulations, especially for future experiments beyond DESI.
