description: We study the statistics of weak lensing convergence peaks, such as their abundance and two-point correlation function (2PCF), for a wide range of cosmological parameters $Ω_m$ and $σ_8$ within the standard $Λ$CDM paradigm, focusing on intermediate-height peaks with signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of $1.5$ to $3.5$. We find that the cosmology dependence of the peak abundance can be described by a one-parameter fitting formula that is accurate to within $\sim3\%$. The peak 2PCFs are shown to feature a self-similar behaviour: if the peak separation is rescaled by the mean inter-peak distance, catalogues with different minimum peak SNR values have identical clustering, which suggests that the peak abundance and clustering are closely interconnected. A simple fitting model for the rescaled 2PCF is given, which together with the peak abundance model above can predict peak 2PCFs with an accuracy better than $\sim5\%$. The abundance and 2PCFs for intermediate peaks have very different dependencies on $Ω_m$ and $σ_8$, implying that their combination can be used to break the degeneracy between these two parameters.

description: Main objects of uniformization of the curve $y^2=x^5-x$ are studied: its Burnside's parametrization, corresponding Schwarz's equation, and accessory parameters. As a result we obtain the first examples of solvable Fuchsian equations on torus and exhibit number-theoretic integer $q$-series for uniformizing functions, relevant modular forms, and analytic series for holomorphic Abelian integrals. A conjecture of Whittaker for hyperelliptic curves and its hypergeometric reducibility are discussed. We also consider the conversion between Burnside's and Whittaker's uniformizations.

Sample Variance Considerations for Cluster Surveys
Creators: name: Hu, Wayne

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present a general statistical framework for describing the effect of sample variance in the number counts of virialized objects and examine its effect on cosmological parameter estimation. Specifically, we consider effects of sample variance on the power spectrum normalization and properties of dark energy extracted from current and future local and high-redshift samples of clusters. We show that for future surveys that probe ever lower cluster masses and temperatures, sample variance is generally comparable to or greater than shot noise and thus cannot be neglected in deriving precision cosmological constraints. For example, sample variance is usually more important than shot variance in constraints on the equation of state of the dark energy from z < 1 clusters. Although we found that effects of sample variance on the sigma_8-Omega_m constraints from the current flux and temperature limited X-ray surveys are not significant, they may be important for future studies utilizing the shape of the temperature function to break the sigma_8-Omega_m degeneracy. We also present numerical tests clarifying the definition of cluster mass employed in cosmological modelling and accurate fitting formula for the conversion between different definitions of halo mass (e.g., virial vs. fixed overdensity).

Publisher: name: Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)
Year: 2009

description: In this paper, we describe our ongoing research project of Virtual Babel, a context-aware machine translation system for Second Life, one of the most popular virtual worlds. We augment the Second Life viewer to intercept the incoming/outgoing chat messages and reroute the message to a statistical machine translation server. The returned translations are appended to the original text message to help users to understand the foreign language. Virtual Babel provides a platform to study cross-lingual conversations facilitated by machine translation in virtual worlds and we observe interesting phenomena that are not present in document translations. Virtual Babel is aware of the non-verbal context of the conversation. Language model and translation models are trained from collected conversations and are used to generate translations according to observed non-verbal context of the conversation.

description: Theoretical predictions for ttbb production are of crucial importance for ttH measurements in the H->bb channel at the LHC. To address the large uncertainties associated with the modelling of extra QCD radiation in ttbb events, in this paper we present a calculation of pp->ttbbj at NLO QCD. The behaviour of NLO corrections is analysed in a variety of observables, and to assess theoretical uncertainties we use factor-two rescalings as well as different dynamic scales. In this context, we propose a systematic alignment of dynamic scales that makes it possible to disentangle normalisation and shape uncertainties in a transparent way. Scale uncertainties at NLO are typically at the level of 20-30% in fiducial cross sections, and below 10% for the shapes of distributions. The kinematics of QCD radiation is investigated in detail, including the effects of its recoil on the objects of the ttbb system. In particular, we discuss various azimuthal correlations that allow one to charaterise the QCD recoil pattern in a precise and transparent way. In general, the calculation at hand provides a variety of precise benchmarks that can be used to validate the modelling of QCD radiation in ttbb generators. Moreover, as we will argue, pp->ttbbj at NLO entails information that can be used to gain insights into the perturbative convergence of the inclusive ttbb cross section beyond NLO. Based on this idea, we address the issue of the large NLO K-factor observed in the ttbb cross section, and we provide evidence that supports the reduction of this K-factor through a mild adjustment of the QCD scales that are conventionally used for this process. The presented 2->5 NLO calculations have been carried out using OpenLoops 2 in combination with Sherpa and Munich.

Growth of a peanut shaped bulge via resonant trapping of stellar orbits in the vertical Inner Lindblad Resonances
Creators: name: Quillen, A. C.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present a simple resonant Hamiltonian model for the vertical response of a stellar disk to the growth of a bar perturbation. As a bar perturbation grows stars become trapped in vertical Inner Lindblad resonances and are lifted into higher amplitude orbits. The vertical structure of a boxy and peanut shaped bulge as a function of radius and azimuthal angle in the galaxy plane can be predicted from the strength and speed of the bar perturbation and the derivatives of the gravitational potential. This model predicts that stars on the outer side of the resonance are lifted higher than stars on the inner side, offering an explanation for the sharp outer edge of the boxy/peanut.

description: We apply techniques from Bayesian generative statistical modeling to uncover hidden features in jet substructure observables that discriminate between different a priori unknown underlying short distance physical processes in multi-jet events. In particular, we use a mixed membership model known as Latent Dirichlet Allocation to build a data-driven unsupervised top-quark tagger and $t\bar t$ event classifier. We compare our proposal to existing traditional and machine learning approaches to top jet tagging. Finally, employing a toy vector-scalar boson model as a benchmark, we demonstrate the potential for discovering New Physics signatures in multi-jet events in a model independent and unsupervised way.

description: We present a new staggered discretization of the Dirac operator. Doubling gives only a doublet of Dirac fermions which we propose to interpret as a physical (lepton or quark) doublet. If coupled with gauge fields, an $(1+γ^5)$ chiral interaction appears in a natural way. We define a generalization for curved background which does not require tetrad variables. The approach suggests a natural explanation for the three fermion families.

Accurate Lindblad-Form Master Equation for Weakly Damped Quantum Systems Across All Regimes

description: Realistic models of quantum systems must include dissipative interactions with an environment. For weakly-damped systems the Lindblad-form Markovian master equation is invaluable for this task due to its tractability and efficiency. This equation only applies, however, when the frequencies of any subset of the system's transitions are either equal (degenerate), or their differences are much greater than the transitions' linewidths (far-detuned). Outside of these two regimes the only available efficient description has been the Bloch-Redfield (B-R) master equation, the efficacy of which has long been controversial due to its failure to guarantee the positivity of the density matrix. The ability to efficiently simulate weakly-damped systems across all regimes is becoming increasingly important, especially in the area of quantum technologies. Here we solve this long-standing problem. We discover that a condition on the slope of the spectral density is sufficient to derive a Lindblad form master equation that is accurate for all regimes. We further show that this condition is necessary for weakly-damped systems to be described by the B-R equation or indeed any Markovian master equation. We thus obtain a replacement for the B-R equation over its entire domain of applicability that is no less accurate, simpler in structure, completely positive, allows simulation by efficient quantum trajectory methods, and unifies the previous Lindblad master equations. We also show via exact simulations that the new master equation can describe systems in which slowly-varying transition frequencies cross each other during the evolution. System identification tools, developed in systems engineering, play an important role in our analysis. We expect these tools to prove useful in other areas of physics involving complex systems.

description: We present measurements of the extended dark halo profiles of bright early type galaxies at redshifts 0.1 to 0.9 obtained via galaxy-galaxy lensing analysis of images taken at the CFHT using the UH8K CCD mosaic camera. Six half degree fields were observed for a total of 2 hours each in I and V, resulting in catalogs containing ~20 000 galaxies per field. We used V-I color and I magnitude to select bright early type galaxies as the lens galaxies, yielding a sample of massive lenses with fairly well determined redshifts and absolute magnitudes M ~ M_* pm 1. We paired these with faint galaxies lying at angular distances 20" to 60", corresponding to physical radii of 26 to 77 kpc (z = 0.1) and 105 to 315 kpc (z = 0.9), and computed the mean tangential shear of the faint galaxies. The shear falls off with radius roughly as expected for flat rotation curve halos. The shear values were weighted in proportion to the square root of the luminosity of the lens galaxy. Our results give a value for the average mean rotation velocity of an L_* galaxy halo at r~50-200 kpc of v_* = 238^{+27}_{-30} km per sec for a flat lambda (Omega_m0 = 0.3, Omega_l0 = 0.7) cosmology (v_* = 269^{+34}_{-39} km per sec for Einstein-de Sitter), and with little evidence for evolution with redshift. We find a mass-to-light ratio of \~121\pm28h(r/100 kpc) and these halos constitute Omega ~0.04 pm 0.01 (r/100 kpc) of closure density.

description: Two features, a slow slope and a sharp drop, in neutron induced total nonelastic cross-sections are analyzed within the framework of an intra-nuclear cascade (INC) model. First, to reproduce the slow slope from 100MeV to 10 MeV, the original INC is generalized in two points; a method to construct the ground state of the target nucleus, and a method of taking the effective two body cross-sections between two nucleons. Secondly, to analyze the origin of the sharp drop from 10MeV to nearly 1 MeV, the INC is extended to include quantum effects which are originated from the existence of the discrete states in the nuclear potential. It is shown that this extension leads to the sharp drops in the very low energy below around 10MeV. It is concluded that the INC model can be extended to explain the sharp drops in addition to the slow slope in neutron induced nonelastic cross-sections in the energy region from 100MeV down to 1 MeV.

description: A simple and green method was developed for the reaction of 2-aminothiophenol and benzaldehyde in the self-neutralizing acidic CO2-alcohol system to produce benzothiazoles. A series of benzothiazole derivatives were successfully prepared from the condensation and cyclization reaction of 2-aminothiophenol or substituted 2-aminothiophenol with aliphatic, heteroaryl and aryl aldehydes promoted by alkyl carbonic acid under mild conditions. Moreover, the method is also suitable for the synthesis of 2-phenylbenzimidazole and 2-phenylbenzoxazole. Additionally, this reaction system greatly simplified post-processing, which did not need to be neutralized with base and without salt disposal. These advantages make the process more practical, economical, and environmentally friendly. Mechanism investigation indicated that formation of alkyl carbonic acid from CO2 and methanol is the key intermediate, which provides hydrogen ions to catalyze the reaction of 2-aminothiophenol and benzaldehyde.

description: Quantum Fisher information matrix (QFIM) is a core concept in theoretical quantum metrology due to the significant importance of quantum Cramér-Rao bound in quantum parameter estimation. However, studies in recent years have revealed wide connections between QFIM and other aspects of quantum mechanics, including quantum thermodynamics, quantum phase transition, entanglement witness, quantum speed limit and non-Markovianity. These connections indicate that QFIM is more than a concept in quantum metrology, but rather a fundamental quantity in quantum mechanics. In this paper, we summarize the properties and existing calculation techniques of QFIM for various cases, and review the development of QFIM in some aspects of quantum mechanics apart from quantum metrology. On the other hand, as the main application of QFIM, the second part of this paper reviews the quantum multiparameter Cramér-Rao bound, its attainability condition and the associated optimal measurements. Moreover, recent developments in a few typical scenarios of quantum multiparameter estimation and the quantum advantages are also thoroughly discussed in this part.

Aspects of the Cosmic Microwave Background Dipole

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments generally infer a temperature fluctuation from a measured intensity fluctuation through the first term in the Taylor expansion of the Planck function, the relation between the intensity in a given frequency and the temperature. However, with the forthcoming Planck satellite, and perhaps even with the Microwave Anisotropy Probe, the CMB-dipole amplitude will be large enough to warrant inclusion of the next higher order term. To quadratic order in the dipole amplitude, there is an intensity quadrupole induced by the dipole with a frequency dependence given by the second derivative of the Planck function. The Planck satellite should be able to detect this dipole-induced intensity quadrupole and distinguish it through its frequency depdendence from the intrinsic CMB temperature and foreground quadrupoles. This higher-order effect provides a robust pre-determined target that may provide tests of Planck's and MAP's large-angle-fluctuation measurements and of their techniques for multi-frequency foreground subtraction.

 C o m m e n t: The original description of Xantholinus kazachstanicus is based on two males from "mont Medeo (2000 m) près d'Alma-Ata, Kazakhstan " (JANÁK 1979). The aedeagus of the specimen listed above is identical to the illustration provided in the original description. Based on external characters such as the posteriorly narrowed head, the narrow pronotum, and particularly the undivided ante-sternal plate of the pronotum, as well as on the internal structures of the aedeagus, this species does not refer to Xantholinus DEJEAN 1821, but to Vulda JACQUELIN DU VAL 1853.
 The record of V. kazachstanica is remarkable also from a zoogeographic perspective. Previously, the easternmost record of a Vulda species was from northern Turkey (ASSING 2007). The discovery that X. kazachstanicus refers to Vulda considerably expands the distribution of the genus eastwards. It is newly recorded not only from Kazakhstan, but also from Middle Asia as whole. The currently known distribution of V. kasachstanica is illustrated in Map 1.

description: One of two approaches to implementing NASA's Terrestrial Planet Finder is to build a space telescope that utilizes the techniques of coronagraphy and apodization to suppress diffraction and image exo-planets. We present a method for calculation of a telescope's apodizer which suppresses the side lobes of the image of a star so as to optimally detect an Earth-like planet. Given the shape of a telescope's aperture and given a search region for a detector, we solve an integral equation to determine an amplitude modulation (an apodizer) which suppresses the star's energy in the focal plane search region. The method is quite general and yields as special cases the product apodizer reported by Nisenson and Papaliolios (2001) and the Prolate spheroidal apodizer of Kasdin et al (2002), and Aime et al (2002). We show computer simulations of the apodizers and the corresponding point spread functions for various aperture-detector configurations.

description: From the early to mid 2000s, music cassettes appeared to be on the brink of extinction in industrialised nations. Nonetheless, in genres such as Punk, Noise and Hip Hop the format remained in use throughout this time. Growing sales over the past decade have led mass media outlets to declare a general revival of the cassette yet, the reasons for this resurgence remain to be investigated. This investigation is drawing on qualitative ethnographic fieldwork conducted in Japan, Australia and the USA entailing participant observation at various events, concerts and record shops and in-depth expert interviews with a total of 85 individuals involved in DIY cassette cultures. I argue that the cassette’s contemporary function, though in some cases enabling decelerated consumption and face-to-face interaction, is to provide an additional physical artefact of music that is primarily distributed digitally on the internet. This thesis explores how the cassette’s hybrid significance as a tool for expression and social connection perseveres in the 21st century within a locally, translocally, and virtually connected context. Here, grassroots DIY music scenes are creatively processing the challenges of the present, while major music corporations seek to capitalise on these cultural dynamics and embodiments of nostalgia. The core analysis section of the thesis begins with a comparison of the different music markets in Japan, Australia and the United States in order to analyse and relativise the massmedia notion of an overarching ‘cassette revival’. It becomes apparent here, that the cassette is not treated as a fully-fledged audio format perse, but merely as a novelty merchandise item for example, for movie soundtracks such as the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise. Based on this, the material qualities of the cassette that contribute to its current significance are explored. Notably, the consumption of the cassette in the digital age has been subjected to a visual turn, meaning that the format is primarily consumed for its visual and material characteristics and in numerous cases functions as a cultural currency in DIY music scenes that legitimates primarily digitally curated and distributed music projects. Several case studies of cassette labels, cassettebased podcasts and the annual international Cassette Store Day illustrate this aspect and underline the cassette’s technological and cultural hybridity that leads to its numerous appropriations throughout various cultural and social divisions. Finally, by drawing on the practices of DIY cassette recycling and decade-old mixtapes re-appearing as marine debris, environmental aspects of current cassette consumption are taken into consideration in regard to a possible sustainable existence of the format in the future.

description: We present angular size measurements of 22 oxygen-rich Mira variable stars. These data are part of a long term observational program using the Infrared Optical Telescope Array (IOTA) to characterize the observable behavior of these stars. Complementing the infrared angular size measurements, values for variable star phase, spectral type, bolometric flux and distance were established for stars in the sample; flux and distance led to values for effective temperature, and linear radius, respectively. Additionally, values for the K-[12] color excess were established for these stars, which is indicative of dusty mass loss. Stars with higher color excess are shown to be systematically 120 solar radii larger than their low color excess counterparts, regardless of period. This analysis appears to present a solution to a long-standing question presented by the evidence that some Mira angular diameters are indicative of first overtone pulsation, while other diameters are more consistent with fundamental pulsation. A simple examination of the resultant sizes of these stars in the context of pulsation mode is consistent with at least some of these objects pulsating in the fundamental mode.

Reconstructing a Model for Gravity at Large Distances from Dark Matter Density Profiles

description: Using the Navarro-Frenk-White (NFW) dark matter density profile we reconstruct an effective field theory model for gravity at large distances from a central object by demanding that the vacuum solution has the same gravitational properties as the NFW density profile has in the context of General Relativity (GR). The dimensionally reduced reconstructed action for gravity leads to a vacuum metric that includes a modified Rindler acceleration term in addition to the Schwarzschild and cosmological constant terms. The new term is free from infrared curvature singularities and leads to a much better fit of observed galaxy velocity rotation curves than the corresponding simple Rindler term of the Grumiller metric, at the expense of one additional parameter. When the new parameter is set to zero the new metric term reduces to a Rindler constant acceleration term. We use galactic velocity rotation data to find the best fit values of the parameters of the reconstructed geometric potential and discuss possible cosmological implications.

description: We report the detailed analysis of the X-ray properties of the discrete sources detected in a long (72 ks) \chandra ACIS-S observation of the Antennae galaxies. We detect 49 sources, down to a detection limit of ~ 10^{38} erg\s; 18 sources have Lx >10^{39} erg\s (Ultra Luminous X-ray sources; ULXs). Six of the 49 sources have an extended component. Two sources show evidence for variability during this observation, and three sources exhibit long term variability in timescales of a few years. The spectra of the discrete sources are diverse, suggesting different emission mechanisms, broadly correlated with the source luminosity: the most luminous sources exhibit harder emission, while the spectra of fainter sources appear softer. Spectra and variability suggest that the ULXs may be binary accretion sources; Supernova remnants or hot ISM in the Chandra beam may be responsible for some of the softer sources.

description: With the potential for the improvements of measurement precision,the refinement of theoretical calculation on hadronic $B$ weak decays is necessary. In this paper, we study the contributions of $B$ mesonic distribution amplitude $Φ_{B2}$ within the QCD factorization approach, and find that $Φ_{B2}$ contributes to only the nonfactorizable annihilation amplitudes for the $B$ ${\to}$ $PP$ decays ($P$ denotes the ground $SU(3)$ pseudoscalar mesons). Although small, the $Φ_{B2}$ contributions might be helpful for improving the performance of the QCD factorization approach, especially for the pure annihilation $B_{d}$ ${\to}$ $K^{+}K^{-}$ and $B_{s}$ ${\to}$ $π^{+}π^{-}$ decays.

description: In this dissertation, we present a new method for the Mn-catalyzed ring-opening carbonylation of cyclobutanols. Next, we describe the C-C coupling reaction of alkenylboronic acids and arendiazonium tetrafluoroborate salts to afford stilbenes. We then report the first Pd-catalyzed oxidative carbonylation in which the oxidant could be completely replaced by visible light. Oxalamides were obtained from the corresponding amines.

description: We present a catalog of 321 compact radio sources in the declination range 0deg > delta > -30deg. The positions of these sources have been measured with a two-dimensional rms accuracy of 35 milliarcseconds using the NRAO Very Large Array. Each source has a peak flux density >50 mJy at 8.4 GHz. We intend for this catalog to be used mainly for selection of phase calibration sources for radio interferometers, although compact radio sources have other scientific uses.

title: The Use of Hormone Replacement Therapy and Menopausal Health Needs of Women in Taiwan

description: The use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) has been surrounded by controversy regarding drug safety and to what extent it meets the health needs of menopausal women. HRT became the prevailing treatment in Western medicine for women with menopause-associated complaints, but a huge worldwide reduction in use began in July, 2002, following the release of the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) reports warning of its risks. The implications of this large reduction on the health needs of menopausal women have not been fully appraised, particularly from the perspective of the women affected. This brings into question whether HRT use actually meets the health needs of menopausal women, and, indeed, what their health needs are. This study investigates the use of HRT by middle-aged women in Taiwan and their menopausal health needs in order to identify these and recommend comprehensive strategies to promote women’s health and well-being. A broad and in-depth exploration of Taiwanese menopausal women’s health needs has been carried out using both quantitative and qualitative methods. As well as examining the allocation and efficiency of health resources associated with menopausal health, it presents and analyses the perspectives of the principal stakeholders of HRT use: women, doctors, health policy decision-makers, women’s health activists and researchers. The study found that menopausal women in Taiwan have significant health needs. In each month of the study period (2000–2004 inclusive), over 60% of the middle-aged women insured with the National Health Insurance (NHI) Scheme utilised NHI-subsidised medical services. Moreover, these women frequently consulted doctors and medical specialists in different fields, indicating that they also had unmet health needs.
