description: We use a distribution function analysis to estimate the mass of the Milky Way out to 100 kpc using a large sample of halo stars. These stars are compiled from the literature, and the vast majority (~98%) have 6D phase-space information. We pay particular attention to systematic effects, such as the dynamical influence of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), and the effect of unrelaxed substructure. The LMC biases the (pre-LMC infall) halo mass estimates towards higher values, while realistic stellar halos from cosmological simulations tend to underestimate the true halo mass. After applying our method to the Milky Way data we find a mass within 100 kpc of M(< 100 kpc) = 6.07 +/- 0.29 (stat.) +/- 1.21 (sys.) x 10^11 M_Sun. For this estimate, we have approximately corrected for the reflex motion induced by the LMC using the Erkal et al. model, which assumes a rigid potential for the LMC and MW. Furthermore, stars that likely belong to the Sagittarius stream are removed, and we include a 5% systematic bias, and a 20% systematic uncertainty based on our tests with cosmological simulations. Assuming the mass-concentration relation for Navarro-Frenk-White haloes, our mass estimate favours a total (pre-LMC infall) Milky Way mass of M_200c = 1.01 +/- 0.24 x 10^12 M_Sun, or (post-LMC infall) mass of M_200c = 1.16 +/- 0.24 x 10^12 M_Sun when a 1.5 x 10^11 M_Sun mass of a rigid LMC is included.

On virialization with dark energy
Creators: name: Maor, Irit

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We review the inclusion of dark energy into the formalism of spherical collapse, and the virialization of a two-component system, made of matter and dark energy. We compare two approaches in previous studies. The first assumes that only the matter component virializes, e.g. as in the case of a classic cosmological constant. The second approach allows the full system to virialize as a whole. We show that the two approaches give fundamentally different results for the final state of the system. This might be a signature discriminating between the classic cosmological constant which cannot virialize and a dynamical dark energy mimicking a cosmological constant. This signature is independent of the measured value of the equation of state. An additional issue which we address is energy non-conservation of the system, which originates from the homogeneity assumption for the dark energy. We propose a way to take this energy loss into account.

description: Baryonification algorithms model the impact of galaxy formation and feedback on the matter field in gravity-only simulations by adopting physically motivated parametric prescriptions. In this paper, we extend these models to describe gas temperature and pressure, allowing for a self-consistent modelling of the thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect, weak gravitational lensing, and their cross-correlation, down to small scales. We validate our approach by showing that it can simultaneously reproduce the electron pressure, gas, stellar, and dark matter power spectra as measured in all BAHAMAS hydrodynamical simulations. Specifically, with only two additional free parameters, we can fit the electron pressure auto- and cross-power spectra at 10% while reproducing the suppression in the matter power spectrum induced by baryons at the per cent level, for different AGN feedback strengths in BAHAMAS. Furthermore, we reproduce BAHAMAS convergence and thermal Sunyaev Zeldovich angular power spectra within 1% and 10% accuracy, respectively, down to l = 5000. When used jointly with cosmological rescaling algorithms, the baryonification presented here will allow a fast and accurate exploration of cosmological and astrophysical scenarios. Therefore, it can be employed to create mock catalogues, lightcones, and large training sets for emulators aimed at interpreting forthcoming multi-wavelength observations of the large-scale structure of the Universe.

Subjects: Research and Development/Tech Change/Emerging Technologies

description: Sociological studies have tended to concentrate on the awareness stage in the adoption process to the neglect of the remaining stages. In an attempt to examine the role of the trial stage in the adoption of super-phosphate topdressings in the Clarence Valley, a survey was made of 42 farmers. From the history of superphosphate use on each farm, a distinction between trial and immediate adoption is attempted. It is concluded that as the farming practice becomes more widely used, the initial farm area fertilized increases, the change from trial to adoption accelerates, and the need for a trial stage appears to diminish.

description: Unburned carbon is potentially a powerful probe of Type Ia supernova (SN) explosion mechanisms. We present comprehensive optical and near-infrared (NIR) data on the "transitional" Type Ia SN 2015bp. An early NIR spectrum ($t = -$9.9 days with respect to B-band maximum) displays a striking C I $\lambda1.0693\,μ\rm{m}$ line at $11.9 \times 10^3$~km s$^{-1}$, distinct from the prominent Mg II $\lambda1.0927\,μ\rm{m}$ feature, which weakens toward maximum light. SN 2015bp also displays a clear C II $\lambda6580$A notch early ($t = -10.9$ days) at $13.2 \times 10^3$~km s$^{-1}$, consistent with our NIR carbon detection. At $M_B = -$18.46, SN 2015bp is less luminous than a normal SN Ia and, along with iPTF13ebh, is the second member of the transitional subclass to display prominent early-time NIR carbon absorption. We find it unlikely that the C I feature is misidentified He I $\lambda1.0830\,μ\rm{m}$ because this feature grows weaker toward maximum light, while the helium line produced in some double-detonation models grows stronger at these times. Intrigued by these strong NIR carbon detections, but lacking NIR data for other SNe Ia, we investigated the incidence of optical carbon in the sample of nine transitional SNe Ia with early-time data ($t \lesssim-$4 days). We find that four display C II $λ$6580A, while two others show tentative detections, in line with the SN Ia population as a whole. We conclude that at least $\sim$50% of transitional SNe Ia in our sample do not come from sub-Chandrasekhar mass explosions due to the clear presence of carbon in their NIR and optical spectra.

description: A sum rule approach is used to calculate the zero temperature oscillation frequencies of a two component trapped atomic Fermi gas in the BCS-Bose Einstein condensation crossover region. These sum rules are evaluated using a local density approximation which explicitly includes Feshbach molecules. Breathing modes show non-monotonic behavior as a function of the interaction strength, while quadrupole modes are insensitive to interactions for both spherically symmetric and axially symmetric traps. Quantitative agreement is found with experiments on atomic $^6Li$ system and with other theoretical approaches.

description: Path tracking (PT) controllers capable of replicating race driving techniques, such as drifting beyond the limits of handling, have the potential of enhancing active safety in critical conditions. This paper presents a nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) approach that integrates multiple actuation methods, namely four-wheel-steering, longitudinal tyre force distribution, and direct yaw moment control, to execute drifting when this is beneficial for PT in emergency scenarios. Simulation results of challenging manoeuvres, based on an experimentally validated vehicle model, highlight the substantial PT performance improvements brought by: i) vehicle operation outside the envelope enforced by the current generation of stability controllers; and ii) the integrated control of multiple actuators.

description: Spin qubits are considered to be among the most promising candidates for building a quantum processor. GroupIV hole spin qubits have moved into the focus of interest due to the ease of operation and compatibility with Si technology. In addition, Ge offers the option for monolithic superconductor-semiconductor integration. Here we demonstrate a hole spin qubit operating at fields below 10 mT, the critical field of Al, by exploiting the large out-of-plane hole g-factors in planar Ge and by encoding the qubit into the singlet-triplet states of a double quantum dot. We observe electrically controlled g-factor-difference-driven and exchange-driven rotations with tunable frequencies exceeding 100 MHz and dephasing times of 1 $μ$s which we extend beyond 150 $μ$s with echo techniques. These results demonstrate that Ge hole singlet-triplet qubits are competing with state-of-the art GaAs and Si singlet-triplet qubits. In addition, their rotation frequencies and coherence are on par with Ge single spin qubits, but they can be operated at much lower fields underlining their potential for on chip integration with superconducting technologies.

description: We study the properties of the MDL (or maximum penalized complexity) estimator for Regression and Classification, where the underlying model class is countable. We show in particular a finite bound on the Hellinger losses under the only assumption that there is a "true" model contained in the class. This implies almost sure convergence of the predictive distribution to the true one at a fast rate. It corresponds to Solomonoff's central theorem of universal induction, however with a bound that is exponentially larger.

Negative-polarity nanosecond-pulsed cryogenic plasma in liquid nitrogen

description: In this work we report the results of imaging and spectroscopic measurements of optical emission spectrum of negative nanosecond-pulsed cryogenic discharge in liquid nitrogen. With the application of lower electric fields, the discharge first ignites as a 'faint glow' around the high voltage needle electrode, while when the applied electric field reaches transition value of around 5 MV cm-1, the discharge mode switches to negative in-liquid streamer. Optical emission spectrum of the discharge is populated by the molecular nitrogen emission bands, and their analysis shows that the pressures and temperatures of the negative streamers in liquid nitrogen are at least of few tens of atmospheres and around 140-150 K. The results of the study demonstrate similarity of positive and negative streamers in the cryogenic in-liquid plasma conditions.
The Gross Output and Net Returns from Agriculture in Different Regions of Australia

Year: 1969
Subjects: Productivity Analysis

description: The gross and unsubsidized net agricultural production from the major Australian farming regions have been calculated from data collected by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics. The results suggest that the wheat and sheep zone is the most important farming region, producing one third of the nation's agricultural gross revenue and one half of its agricultural net output. Important contributions to gross and net agricultural output are also made by the pastoral and high rainfall sheep zones. Because of the high level of subsidy, the dairying zone makes no contribution to net output although it produces fifteen per cent of the nation's gross agricultural revenue. Australia's irrigated lands produce approximately ten per cent of national gross and net agricultural output.

description: Recent deep millimeter-wave surveys attempt to measure the carbon monoxide (CO) luminosity function and mean molecular gas density through blind detections of CO emission lines. While the cosmic star formation rate density is now constrained in fields hundreds of arcmin$^2$ or more, molecular gas studies have been limited to $\le50$ arcmin$^2$. These small fields result in significant biases that have not been accounted for in published results. To quantify these biases, we assign CO luminosities to halos in cosmological simulations to produce mock observations for a range of field sizes. We find that fields $\lesssim 10$ arcmin$^2$ alter the recovered shape of the luminosity function, causing underestimates of the number of bright objects. Our models suggest that current surveys are sensitive enough to detect sources responsible for approximately half of the cosmic molecular gas density at high redshift. However, uncertainties in the gas density measurement are large, and cosmic variance may double the uncertainty claimed in these surveys. As a result, the field size needed to detect redshift evolution in the molecular gas at high confidence may be more than an order of magnitude larger than what current surveys have achieved. Shot power intensity mapping measurements are particularly sensitive to Poisson variance and require yet larger areas to constrain the gas density or its evolution. We provide a simple prescription for approximating uncertainty in total CO emission as a function of survey area and redshift, for both direct detection and intensity mapping surveys.

The effects of fine sediment pulse duration on a stream invertebrate assemblage and growth and mortality of rainbow trout
Creators: name: Shaw, E. Ali
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Elevated fine inorganic sediment supply in streams may impair many biological functions, however the contribution of exposure duration to altering these functions has not been previously considered. I evaluated the effects of fine sediment pulse duration on invertebrate assemblages and rainbow trout growth and mortality. I constructed streamside flow-through channels at Moffat Creek in the central interior of British Columbia for this experiment. Fourteen experimental channels, each containing invertebrates and 10 rainbow trout swim-up fry, received fine inorganic sediment treatments of a constant concentration but varied in pulse duration, ranging from 0 to 6 hours per pulse. A pulse was initiated every second day for total of ten pulses over 19 days. Benthic invertebrate abundance and family richness declined (both r²=0.77, P<0.01) as sediment pulse duration increased. Similarly, the family richness of invertebrate drift declined as pulse duration increased (r²=0.20, P=0.04), however, drift abundance increased with increasing pulse duration (r²=0.35, P<0.03). Drift samples were numerically dominated by the family Chironomidae (midges) comprising up to 99% of the drifting insects within the high pulse duration channels. Principal components analysis (PCA) of invertebrate family presence/absence revealed that the primary variation in the drift assemblage (PC1, 27%) was attributed to variation in the presence/absence of Simuliidae; longer pulse duration resulted in the disappearance of Simuliidae (r²0.44 , P<0.01). The primary variation in the benthic assemblage (PC1, 38.8%) was described by the presence/absence of Elmidae, Nemouridae, Baetidae, Leptophlebiidae and Heptageniidae; increasing pulse duration resulted in the virtual disappearance of those families (r²=0.79, P<0.01). Rainbow trout length and mass linearly declined (r²=O.69, P<0.01; r²=0.70, P<0.01 respectively) with increased sediment pulse duration. There was no significant relation (P>0.05) between sediment pulse duration and trout mortality. Analysis of variance revealed that invertebrate, drift, benthos and trout growth were significantly affected by sediment exposure time. Relative to the controls, significant negative changes occurred between the three and five-hour treatments. The hypothesis that trout growth was more affected by direct effects of sediment (e.g. impaired visual feeding ability, physiological stress), than indirectly (through modification of the prey abundance or composition) was tested using path analysis. The results indicate that direct effects were the primary influence of sediment on trout growth although significant alterations of the invertebrate community were observed.

description: We investigate Kantian equilibria in finite normal form games, a class of non-Nashian, morally motivated courses of action that was recently proposed in the economics literature. We highlight a number of problems with such equilibria, including computational intractability, a high price of miscoordination, and expensive/problematic extension to general normal form games. We point out that such a proper generalization will likely involve the concept of program equilibrium. Finally we propose some general, intuitive, computationally tractable, other-regarding equilibria related to Kantian equilibria, as well as a class of courses of action that interpolates between purely self-regarding and Kantian behavior.

description: The main purpose of the current manuscript is to review the agricultural extension system in Egypt. The information gleaned in this article could be useful for policymakers, extension administrators, and extension researchers to identify ways for improving educational services of devising training programs for audience and agents, approaches of farmers' participation, and schemes of policy development. More specifically the objectives of this study are to review the Egyptian agricultural extension system in terms of the: 1) the history of the Egyptian agricultural extension system, 2) the organizational structure of the Egyptian extension system, 3) types of agricultural extension and program delivery mechanisms in Egypt, 4) current situation of the Egyptian agricultural extension system, and 5) the possible future direction for the Egyptian agricultural extension system. A comprehensive review of gray literature was conducted to identify characteristics of the agricultural extension system in Egypt, relevant documents used including, foundation legislation, review and analysis of literature of international organizations as well as peer reviewed journal articles. The extension history, structure, and modes of operation were discussed, and the future directions were concluded.

description: Free lysine, an amino acid produced industrially by microbial fermentation, is becoming increasingly important in intensive livestock production. Estimates are made of the economic impact of its wider use. The economic impact of doubling the current utilization rate of free lysine in pig production is also investigated. It is shown that the use of free lysine as a replacement for protein concentrates is marginally profitable at current utilization rates and prices. However, if experimental techniques of doubling free lysine utilization rates are adopted by the industry, the use of free lysine could lower costs of pig diets and substantially replace high lysine protein concentrates in pig diets.

description: Graph is a ubiquitous representation of data in various research fields, and graph embedding is a prevalent machine learning technique for capturing key features and generating fixed-sized attributes. However, most state-of-the-art graph embedding methods are computationally and spatially expensive. Recently, the Graph Encoder Embedding (GEE) has been shown as the fastest graph embedding technique and is suitable for a variety of network data applications. As real-world data often involves large and sparse graphs, the huge sparsity usually results in redundant computations and storage. To address this issue, we propose an improved version of GEE, sparse GEE, which optimizes the calculation and storage of zero entries in sparse matrices to enhance the running time further. Our experiments demonstrate that the sparse version achieves significant speedup compared to the original GEE with Python implementation for large sparse graphs, and sparse GEE is capable of processing millions of edges within minutes on a standard laptop.

description: During the final stages of a compact object merger, if at least one of the binary components is a magnetized neutron star (NS), then its orbital motion substantially expands the NS's open magnetic flux -- and hence increases its wind luminosity -- relative to that of an isolated pulsar. As the binary orbit shrinks due to gravitational radiation, the power and speed of this binary-induced inspiral wind may (depending on pair loading) secularly increase, leading to self-interaction and internal shocks in the outflow beyond the binary orbit. The magnetized forward shock can generate coherent radio emission via the synchrotron maser process, resulting in an observable radio precursor to binary NS merger. We perform 1D relativistic hydrodynamical simulations of shock interaction in the accelerating binary NS wind, assuming that the inspiral wind efficiently converts its Poynting flux into bulk kinetic energy prior to the shock radius. This is combined with the shock maser spectrum from particle-in-cell simulations, to generate synthetic radio light curves. The precursor burst with a fluence of $\sim1$ Jy$\cdot$ms at $\sim$GHz frequencies lasts $\sim 1-500$ ms following the merger for a source at $\sim3$ Gpc ($B_{\rm d}/10^{12}$ G)$^{8/9}$, where $B_{\rm d}$ is the dipole field strength of the more strongly-magnetized star. Given an outflow geometry concentrated along the binary equatorial, the signal may be preferentially observable for high-inclination systems, i.e. those least likely to produce a detectable gamma-ray burst.

description: We show that many aspects of ultracold three-body collisions can be controlled by choosing the mass ratio between the collision partners. In the ultracold regime, the scattering length dependence of the three-body rates can be substantially modified from the equal mass results. We demonstrate that the only non-trivial mass dependence is due solely to Efimov physics. We have determined the mass dependence of the three-body collision rates for all heteronuclear systems relevant for two-component atomic gases with resonant s-wave interspecies interactions, which includes only three-body systems with two identical bosons or two identical fermions.
Species from genus Heracleum (Apiaceae) in Akureyri (N Iceland): distribution, main sources of spread and identification of priority areas for eradication

description: Research carried out in 2015 showed that at least two taxa from Heracleum genus present in Akureyri (N Iceland) can be found in the natural environment outside cultivation: H. mantegazzianum and H. persicum. Both species are well known to be highly invasive in other parts of Europe. Both pose a serious risk to human health due to the high content of furanocoumarins – a chemical compound causing severe chemical burns. Both species can easily spread in uncontrollable fashion due to fast and efficient growth and vigorous reproduction. Field research was undertaken to map the distribution of both species in Akureyri. The presence of both taxa was recorded in cultivation and in wild. Field observations enabled us to identify gardening as the main source of propagules for both species. It was clear that both taxa were able to reproduce and spread effectively outside cultivation, causing the high risk of invasion in several areas. We identified areas where plants were reproducing and spreading effectively outside cultivation and pointed them out as priority areas for eradication. Efficient methods of eradication were also discussed.

description: We theoretically investigate superradiance effects in quantum field theories in curved space-times by proposing an analogue model based on Bose--Einstein condensates subject to a synthetic vector potential. The breaking of the irrotationality constraint of superfluids allows to study superradiance in simple planar geometries and obtain intuitive insight in the amplified scattering processes at ergosurfaces. When boundary conditions are modified allowing for reflections, dynamical instabilities are found, similar to the ones of ergoregions in rotating space-times. Their stabilization by horizons in black hole geometries is discussed. All these phenomena are reinterpreted through an exact mapping with the physics of one-dimensional relativistic charged scalar fields in electrostatic potentials. Our study provides a deeper understanding on the basic mechanisms of superradiance: by disentangling the different ingredients at play, it shines light on some misconceptions on the role of dissipation and horizons and on the competition between superradiant scattering and instabilities.

description: The accurate determination of the true redshift distributions in tomographic bins is critical for cosmological constraints from photometric surveys. The proposed redshift self-calibration method, which utilizes the photometric galaxy clustering alone, is highly convenient and avoids the challenges from incomplete or unrepresentative spectroscopic samples in external calibration. However, the imperfection of the theoretical approximation on broad bins as well as the flaw of the algorithm in previous work risk the accuracy and application of the method. In this paper, we propose the improved self-calibration algorithm that incorporates novel update rules, which effectively accounts for heteroskedastic weights and noisy data with negative values. The improved algorithm greatly expands the application range of self-calibration method and accurately reconstructs the redshift distributions for various mock data. Using the luminous red galaxy (LRG) sample of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) survey, we find that the reconstructed results are comparable to the state-of-the-art external calibration. This suggests the exciting prospect of using photometric galaxy clustering to reconstruct redshift distributions in the cosmological analysis of survey data.

description: Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) is popular in large language models (LLMs), whereas traditional Reinforcement Learning (RL) often falls short. Current autonomous driving methods typically utilize either human feedback in machine learning, including RL, or LLMs. Most feedback guides the car agent's learning process (e.g., controlling the car). RLHF is usually applied in the fine-tuning step, requiring direct human "preferences," which are not commonly used in optimizing autonomous driving models. In this research, we innovatively combine RLHF and LLMs to enhance autonomous driving safety. Training a model with human guidance from scratch is inefficient. Our framework starts with a pre-trained autonomous car agent model and implements multiple human-controlled agents, such as cars and pedestrians, to simulate real-life road environments. The autonomous car model is not directly controlled by humans. We integrate both physical and physiological feedback to fine-tune the model, optimizing this process using LLMs. This multi-agent interactive environment ensures safe, realistic interactions before real-world application. Finally, we will validate our model using data gathered from real-life testbeds located in New Jersey and New York City.

description: В статье рассмотрена динамика российского феминистского медиадискурса в федеральных СМИ на примере субдискурса женской профессиональной реализации. Обозначены экстралингвистические условия его существования, связанные с критикой гендерного порядка Российской Федерации. Описаны дискурсивные, медийные стратегии, направленные на распространение и легализацию феминистских идей, среди которых — выбор профеминистских тем и повышение их значимости за счет частого обращения к ним, использование генерализованных высказываний и эмоционально-оценочной лексики, цитирование профеминистских экспертов, обращение к статистической и научной аргументации. Описан исход конфликта патриархатного и феминистского дискурсов, в результате которого первый был почти полностью вытеснен из федерального российского медиаполя. Представлена идея о том, что в основе дискурсивного конфликта лежит ценностная трансформация, происходящая на уровне института СМИ.

description: В статье представлен анализ подходов и интерпретаций категории рода в грамматике и семантике русского языка с учётом их исторической эволюции. Характеризуется соотносимость грамматической категории рода и семантического значения половой принадлежности лица. Обобщаются описанные и классифицированные в работах по грамматике и семантике варианты словообразования женских коррелятов к существительным мужского рода, а также другие способы выражения половой принадлежности лица в речи. Автор соотносит сложившиеся за время исследования грамматики и семантики языка подходы к различным аспектам бытования лексических обозначений женщин с существующим в настоящее время социокультурным запросом на более широкое представление роли женщин в речи. Оценивается возможность дальнейшего распространения новых существительных с модификационным значением женскости с точки зрения описанных в работах лингвистов лексических типов гендерных парадигм и практик перехода слов между данными классами.

description: A wide variety of methods have been suggested for ex ante project appraisal. The most logical and complete of these appears to be multiattribute utility theory (MAUT) which provides a formal procedure for handling the difficulties of ex ante evaluation arising from multiple objectives, intangibles, time-sequence effects and uncertainty. MAUT procedures, comprising an extension of subjective expected utility procedures to choice between multi attributed alternatives, are described and applied to an illustrative example.
