Dark matter annihilation near a black hole: plateau vs. weak cusp
Creators: name: Vasiliev, Eugene
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Dark matter annihilation in so-called ``spikes'' near black holes is believed to be an important method of indirect dark matter detection. In the case of circular particle orbits, the density profile of dark matter has a plateau at small radii, the maximal density being limited by the annihilation cross-section. However, in the general case of arbitrary velocity anisotropy the situation is different. Particulary, for isotropic velocity distribution the density profile cannot be shallower than r^{-1/2} in the very centre. Indeed, a detailed study reveals that in many cases the term ``annihilation plateau'' is misleading, as the density actually continues to rise towards small radii and forms a weak cusp, rho ~ r^{-(beta+1/2)}, where beta is the anisotropy coefficient. The annihilation flux, however, does not change much in the latter case, if averaged over an area larger than the annihilation radius.

description: Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication is an important type of communication in the Internet-of-Things (IoT). How to send data in these high-density communications using relay selection can help improve the performance of this type of communication in various applications. In addition, the possibility of simultaneous use of different Radio Frequency (RF) interfaces helps to use the spectrum more efficiently. In this work, we try to further use machine communication RF equipment and improve the average data rate of networks in some applications such as the IoT, which have their own bandwidth requirements. Therefore, we provide an optimization algorithm for relay selection as well as the simultaneous and dynamic multiple M2M RF interface setting that is called Dynamic Optimal Relay Selection and RF interfaces Setting Algorithm (DORSA). The simulation results show that the average data rate of DORSA with three interfaces (DORSA_W-B-Z) can be improved up to 10% compared to the existing methods such as optimal direct transmission and relay selection algorithms with static RF interface setting.

The Lungs of the Planet? Compliance, Contestation, and Environmental Norm Diffusion in Brazil and Australia

description: Climate change presents a quandary for the international state system. In the context of a warming planet, states must look beyond their national self-interest in order to reach voluntary agreements with other sovereign nations about how to collectively reduce the scale and impacts of climate change. Moreover, when one nation takes actions that deliberately undermine global efforts to reduce emissions, other nations face a dilemma: how to hold that nation accountable in the absence of structural and institutional constraints on states’ behavior. In light of these challenges, this paper investigates the following question: How do states socialize foreign nations to address domestic ecological crises, and what explains their success or failure? I leverage my claims through qualitative case studies of wildfires that took place in Brazil and Australia in 2019 and the resultant international response. Using data from policy documents, statements by heads of state, and international reporting, I argue that efforts to socialize these states are differentiated by the claim of communal land ownership leveraged toward Brazil. While this strategy sought to generate collective action by emphasizing a “we’re in this together” mentality, it was also perceived to reproduce discourses of extractive imperialism and undermine Brazil’s territorial claim to the Amazon. I further consider the implications of this research for the study of climate cooperation within the discipline of international relations.

description: RGBT tracking receives a surge of interest in the computer vision community, but this research field lacks a large-scale and high-diversity benchmark dataset, which is essential for both the training of deep RGBT trackers and the comprehensive evaluation of RGBT tracking methods. To this end, we present a Large-scale High-diversity benchmark for RGBT tracking (LasHeR) in this work. LasHeR consists of 1224 visible and thermal infrared video pairs with more than 730K frame pairs in total. Each frame pair is spatially aligned and manually annotated with a bounding box, making the dataset well and densely annotated. LasHeR is highly diverse capturing from a broad range of object categories, camera viewpoints, scene complexities and environmental factors across seasons, weathers, day and night. We conduct a comprehensive performance evaluation of 12 RGBT tracking algorithms on the LasHeR dataset and present detailed analysis to clarify the research room in RGBT tracking. In addition, we release the unaligned version of LasHeR to attract the research interest for alignment-free RGBT tracking, which is a more practical task in real-world applications. The datasets and evaluation protocols are available at: https://github.com/BUGPLEASEOUT/LasHeR.

description: In the peripheral nervous system, utrophin and the short dystrophin isoform (Dp116) are co-localized at the outermost layer of the myelin sheath of nerve fibers; together with the dystroglycan complex. In peripheral nerve, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) creates a 30 kDa fragment of beta-dystroglycan, leading to a disruption of the link between the extracellular matrix and the cell membrane. Here we asked if the processing of the beta-dystroglycan could influence the anchorage of Dp116 or/and utrophin in normal and mdx Schwann cell membrane. We showed that MMP-9 was more activated in mdx nerve than in wild-type one. This activation leads to an accumulation of the 30 kDa beta-dystroglycan isoform and have an impact on the anchorage of Dp116 and utrophin isoforms in mdx Schwann cells membrane. Our results showed that Dp116 had greater affinity to the full length form of beta-dystroglycan than the 30 kDa form. Moreover, we showed for the first time that the short isoform of utrophin (Up71) was over-expressed in mdx Schwann cells compared to wild-type. In addition, this utrophin isoform (Up71) seems to have greater affinity to the 30 kDa beta-dystroglycan which could explain a more stabilization of this 30 kDa at the membrane compartment. Our results highlight the potential participation of the short utrophin isoform and the cleaved form of beta-dystroglycan in mdx Schwann cell membrane architecture.

description:
This study analyses from a semiotic perspective Perla Suez novel El país del diablo (2015). It focuses on the narrative and descriptive process which are at the heart of the inversion the text carries out in a specific intertextual relation with the discursive devices of the official story known as the ‘Conquista del Desierto’. This was a military campaign which took place between 1878 and 1885 to take control of vast areas of the Pampas and Argentinian Patagonia from the indigenous populations. It also analyses textual devices that support a perspective shift resulting in a mythical, ecological and animistic vision of the Mapuche tribes.

description: We characterize to what extent it is possible to modify the stationary states of a quantum dynamical semigroup, that describes the irreversible evolution of a two-level system, by means of an auxiliary two-level system. We consider systems that can be initially entangled or uncorrelated. We find that the indirect control of the stationary states is possible, even if there are not initial correlations, under suitable conditions on the dynamical parameters characterizing the evolution of the joint system.

description: Despite the technological importance of supercritical fluids, controversy remains about the details of their microscopic dynamics. In this work, we study four supercritical fluid systems -- water, Si, Te, and Lennard-Jones fluid -- \emph{via} classical molecular dynamics simulations. A universal two-component behavior is observed in the intermolecular dynamics of these systems, and the changing ratio between the two components leads to a crossover from liquidlike to gaslike dynamics, most rapidly around the Widom line. We find evidence to connect the liquidlike component dominating at lower temperatures with intermolecular bonding, and the component prominent at higher temperatures with free-particle, gaslike dynamics. The ratio between the components can be used to describe important properties of the fluid, such as its self-diffusion coefficient, in the transition region. Our results provide insight into the fundamental mechanism controlling the dynamics of supercritical fluids, and highlight the role of spatiotemporally inhomogenous dynamics even in thermodynamic states where no large-scale fluctuations exist in the fluid.

description:
This article discusses the female immigrant of the 21st century in Spain from a cinematographic and literary point of view. After explaining what immigration is and which are the factors that influence this growing phenomena, several films cinema and literaty works dealing with immigration are presented: the movies A mi madre le gustan las mujeres (2001) by Daniela Féjerman, Canciones de amor en Lolita’s Club (2007) by Vicente Aranda, Evelyn (2012) by Isabel de Ocampo, and the novels La patera (2000) by Mahi Binebine, Las voces del Estrecho (2016) by Andrés Sorel, Deshojando alcachofas (2005) by Esther Bendahan. On one hand the selected films and books give an overview of the immigrant women focusing on stereotypes and prejudices shared by Western societies. On the other hand, they give a realistic and objective representation, showing the inferior position and the exploitation that the immigrant women have to endure.

description: The deepest hole that has ever been dug is about 12 km deep. Geochemists analyze samples from the Earth's crust and from the top of the mantle. Seismology can reconstruct the density profile throughout all Earth, but not its composition. In this respect, our planet is mainly unexplored. Geo-neutrinos, the antineutrinos from the progenies of U, Th and K40 decays in the Earth, bring to the surface information from the whole planet, concerning its content of natural radioactive elements. Their detection can shed light on the sources of the terrestrial heat flow, on the present composition, and on the origins of the Earth. Geo-neutrinos represent a new probe of our planet, which can be exploited as a consequence of two fundamental advances that occurred in the last few years: the development of extremely low background neutrino detectors and the progress on understanding neutrino propagation. We review the status and the prospects of the field.

Contextuality and dichotomizations of random variables

description: The Contextuality-by-Default approach to determining and measuring the (non)contextuality of a system of random variables requires that every random variable in the system be represented by an equivalent set of dichotomous random variables. In this paper we present general principles that justify the use of dichotomizations and determine their choice. The main idea in choosing dichotomizations is that if the set of possible values of a random variable is endowed with a pre-topology (V-space), then the allowable dichotomizations split the space of possible values into two linked subsets ("linkednes" being a weak form of pre-topological connectedness). We primarily focus on two types of random variables most often encountered in practice: categorical and real-valued ones (including continuous random variables, greatly underrepresented in the contextuality literature). A categorical variable (one with a finite number of unordered values) is represented by all of its possible dichotomizations. If the values of a random variable are real numbers, then they are dichotomized by intervals above and below a variable cut point.

Year: 2019

description:
This essay, first and foremost, puts into context the relevance of Joan Fuster and Rafael-Lluís Ninyoles’ work during the 1960s. In addition, it distinguishes their different way of analysing society in general, and Valencian society in particular. On one hand, Joan Fuster approached reality through literary essays. Ninyoles, on the other hand, adopted a sociological perspective. Two different ways of observing the world that the author of this study considers as supplementary. Finally, the essay argues that the book Madre España, written by Rafael-Lluís Ninyoles, constitutes a complete treatise about Spanish nationalist thought morphology, which is nowadays as valid as it was decades ago.

description: The number of large-scale farms (farms with annual sales of $500,000 or more) increased from 11,400 in 1974 to 27,800 in 1982. Although only 1.2 percent of all U.S. farms, these farms controlled over 10 percent of the land in farms in 1982 and accounted for nearly 33 percent of the total value of farm production. This report, using unpublished 1982 census data, examines recent trends in the number of large-scale farms, the proportion of total farmland under their control, and their contribution to total output. This report also discusses the origin of large-scale farms and their future role in U.S. agriculture.

description: Information is encoded in a qubit in the form of its Bloch vector. In this paper, we propose protocols for remote transfers of information in a known and an unknown qubit to qudits using $SU(2)$- invariant $\frac{1}{2}\otimes S$ discordant states as a channel. These states have been identified as separable equivalents of the two-qubit entangled Werner states in [Bharath & Ravishankar, Phys. Rev. A 89, 062110]. Due to $SU(2) \times SU(2)$ invariance of these states, the remote qudit can be changed by performing appropriate measurements on the qubit. We also propose a protocol for transferring information of an unknown qudit to a remote qudit using a $\frac{1}{2}\otimes S$- state as a channel. Finally, we propose a protocol for swapping of quantum discord from $\frac{1}{2}\otimes S$- systems to $S\otimes S$- systems. All the protocols proposed in this paper involve separable states as quantum channels. Employing these protocols, we believe that quantum information processing can be performed using highly mixed separable higher dimensional states.

A GaAs cermet gate charge-coupled device
Creators: name: LeNoble, Maurice
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The design, implementation and evaluation of a 64-pixel, 4-phase GaAs cermet gate charge-coupled device ( CMCCD ) are described. It is demonstrated that the signal charge confinement and the signal charge capacity of the CMCCD are maximized when thin, highly doped active layers are used for implementing the device. The cermet/GaAs junction within an interelectrode gap of the CMCCD forms a barrier similar to a metal/GaAs Schottky barrier, as revealed by an investigation of the dc current-voltage characteristic of a cermet/GaAs Schottky barrier diode. A transmission line model is described for the cermet/GaAs junction within an interelectrode gap of the CMCCD and is used to demonstrate the relationship of the surface potential variation along the gap as a function of the clock frequency and the material parameters. It is shown that the surface potential variation is monotonic for all frequencies, which is desirable for minimizing the formation of energy troughs within the active layer. Energy troughs trap and release charge from passing charge packets, causing unwanted signal dispersion. A two-dimensional computer model is used to determine a theoretical maximum frequency of operation of the CMCCD. It is shown that a short transport electrode length for a fixed transport electrode pitch is preferable as it results in the maximum high frequency performance of the CMCCD for the lowest clock power. A computer simulation of a single electrode transfer of a charge packet is demonstrated using the two-dimensional computer model. The computer simulation indicates that efficient charge transfer takes place, suggesting that the CMCCD will have good performance. A GaAs CMCCD with an on-chip GaAs MESFET source follower amplifier has been produced using a six mask level fabrication procedure. The CMCCD and the output source follower amplifier are demonstrated to operate at 100 MHz. Charge transfer efficiencies of 1.00 and 0.998 for 100 MHz operation are obtained for the CMCCD using the impulse response method and the insertion loss method.

description: Commercial farms with gross annual sales of $40,000 or more (28 percent of all farms) generally had positive after-tax rates of return to equity in 1985. But noncommercial farms, those with gross annual sales of less than $40,000 (72 percent of all farms), showed small after-tax losses. The farm economy has deteriorated since 1981 when farmland values began to decline. By 1984, farming households earned only about 80 percent as much as the national average, compared with their historic high in 1973 when they earned almost 50 percent more than the national average. As many as 15 percent of all farm operators who were in business before 1980 may leave farming for financial reasons before the current economic adjustments end. Rural counties and communities whose economies rely on agriculture will have trouble maintaining many services as declining farmland values shrink tax revenues.

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.

description: Excerpt from the report: Controlling erosion on the Nation's most erodible cropland and reducing the acreage of surplus crops depends more on how the Conservation Reserve Program is implemented than on the actual number of acres enrolled in the program. Choices must be made on how enrollment acreage is selected: choosing a definition of which lands are eligible, choosing the acreage allotment any given area (region, State, or substate) may seek to enroll, and choosing the most desirable cropland characteristics. How these three choices interact will determine the levels of erosion reduction, surplus reduction, and program cost.

description: We present a study of rotation (vsini) and chromospheric activity (Halpha EW) based on an extensive set of high-resolution optical spectra obtained with MIKE on the 6.5m Magellan Clay telescope. Our targets are 74 F-M dwarfs in the young stellar associations Eta Cha, TW Hydrae, Beta Pic, and Tuc-Hor, spanning ages from 6 to 30 Myr. While the Halpha EW for most F and G stars are consistent with pure photospheric absorption, most K and M stars show chromospheric emission. By comparing Halpha EW in our sample to results in the literature, we see a clear evolutionary sequence: Chromospheric activity declines steadily from the T Tauri phase to the main sequence. Using activity as an age indicator, we find a plausible age range for the Tuc-Hor association of 10-40 Myr. Between 5 and 30 Myr, we do not see evidence for rotational braking in the total sample, thus angular momentum is conserved, in contrast to younger stars. This difference indicates a change in the rotational regulation at 5-10 Myr, possibly because disk braking cannot operate longer than typical disk lifetimes, allowing the objects to spin up. The rotation-activity relation is flat in our sample; in contrast to main-sequence stars, there is no linear correlation for slow rotators. We argue that this is because young stars generate their magnetic fields in a fundamentally different way from main-sequence stars, and not just the result of a saturated solar-type dynamo. By comparing our rotational velocities with published rotation periods for a subset of stars, we determine ages of 13 (7-20) Myr and 9 (7-17} Myr for the Eta Cha and TWA associations, respectively, consistent with previous estimates. Thus we conclude that stellar radii from evolutionary models by Baraffe et al. (1998) are in agreement with the observed radii within +-15%. (abridged)

description: We present non-parametric radial mass profiles for ten QSO strong lensing galaxies. Five of the galaxies have profiles close to $ρ(r)\propto r^{-2}$, while the rest are closer to r^{-1}, consistent with an NFW profile. The former are all relatively isolated early-types and dominated by their stellar light. The latter --though the modeling code did not know this-- are either in clusters, or have very high mass-to-light, suggesting dark-matter dominant lenses (one is a actually pair of merging galaxies). The same models give $H_0^{-1} = 15.2_{-1.7}^{+2.5}\Gyr$ ($H_0 = 64_{-9}^{+8} \legacy$), consistent with a previous determination. When tested on simulated lenses taken from a cosmological hydrodynamical simulation, our modeling pipeline recovers both H_0 and $ρ(r)$ within estimated uncertainties. Our result is contrary to some recent claims that lensing time delays imply either a low H_0 or galaxy profiles much steeper than r^{-2}. We diagnose these claims as resulting from an invalid modeling approximation: that small deviations from a power-law profile have a small effect on lensing time-delays. In fact, as we show using using both perturbation theory and numerical computation from a galaxy-formation simulation, a first-order perturbation of an isothermal lens can produce a zeroth-order change in the time delays.

In-medium chiral SU(3) dynamics and hypernuclear structure

description: A previously introduced relativistic energy density functional, successfully applied to ordinary nuclei, is extended to hypernuclei. The density-dependent mean field and the spin-orbit potential are consistently calculated for a $Λ$ hyperon in the nucleus using the SU(3) extension of in-medium chiral perturbation theory. The leading long range $ΛN$ interaction arises from kaon-exchange and $2π$-exchange with $Σ$ hyperon in the intermediate state. Scalar and vector mean fields reflecting in-medium changes of the quark condensates are constrained by QCD sum rules. The model, applied to oxygen as a test case, describes spectroscopic data in good agreement with experiment. In particular, the smallness of the $Λ$ spin-orbit interaction finds a natural explanation in terms of an almost complete cancellation between scalar-vector background contributions and long-range terms generated by two-pion exchange.

description: Excerpt from the report: Many farmers, unable to cope with heavy debts, have had to give up farming in the past few years. More are ejected to leave agriculture over the next few years. Evolving Federal, State, and local government programs, some described in this paper, are helping these farmers and their families salvage as much equity and dignity as they can and find other ways to make a living.

description: Developing countries are the most likely growth markets for U.S. agricultural exports. The best U.S. strategy for increasing the potential of agricultural exports to developing countries is to encourage economic growth in these markets, which will lead to higher incomes and increased food demand. Developing countries will then import more U.S. farm products to meet part of their increased demand.

description: Marine minerals are important because concentrate in their structure high contents of strategic and critical elements as rare earth elements. Forty-two samples from eight seamounts of Canary Islands Seamount Province (CISP) have been analyzed in order to evaluate their rare earth elements plus yttrium contents (REY). Highest contents of REY are related to hydrogenetic minerals and essentially Fe-vernadite (on average 3000 μg/g). Diagenetic minerals, on the other hand, show the lowest REY contents with an average content of 260 μg/g. These differences also depend on the growth rates, hydrogenetic minerals with growth rates between 0.5 and 5 mm/Ma allow the incorporation of more REY in their structure. REY contents in studied samples varies depending several factors associated with depth and location, shallowest samples presumably growth near or within the oxygen minimum zone are the most enriched with up to 3800 μg/g due to local enrichment of these elements and the slowest growth rate promoted by the reduced ambient conditions while deeper samples around 3000 m water depth show 2800 μg/g. Location also has a role in REY contents essentially due to the presence of different currents. Samples faced to north are exposed to the more oxygenated waters of the North Atlantic Deep Water and are depleted in REY if compared with deeper samples facing to south to the more oxic Antarctic Bottom Water. Finally, the case of study made on three different seamounts of the CISP show that Fe–Mn crusts from this area could provide on average 130 tons of hydrometallurgical recovered REY (based on 1 km2 areal crust coverage) together with interesting quantity of several other strategic and base elements as Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, V, Mo between others.

Atmospheric Dynamics of Short-period Extra Solar Gas Giant Planets I: Dependence of Night-Side Temperature on Opacity

description: More than two dozen short-period Jupiter-mass gas giant planets have been discovered around nearby solar-type stars in recent years, several of which undergo transits, making them ideal for the detection and characterization of their atmospheres. Here we adopt a three-dimensional radiative hydrodynamical numerical scheme to simulate atmospheric circulation on close-in gas giant planets. In contrast to the conventional GCM and shallow water algorithms, this method does not assume quasi hydrostatic equilibrium and it approximates radiation transfer from optically thin to thick regions with flux-limited diffusion. In the first paper of this series, we consider synchronously-spinning gas giants. We show that a full three-dimensional treatment, coupled with rotationally modified flows and an accurate treatment of radiation, yields a clear temperature transition at the terminator. Based on a series of numerical simulations with varying opacities, we show that the night-side temperature is a strong indicator of the opacity of the planetary atmosphere. Planetary atmospheres that maintain large, interstellar opacities will exhibit large day-night temperature differences, while planets with reduced atmospheric opacities due to extensive grain growth and sedimentation will exhibit much more uniform temperatures throughout their photosphere's. In addition to numerical results, we present a four-zone analytic approximation to explain this dependence.

description: The hadronic kt-spectrum inside one jet is determined including corrections of relative magnitude sqrt{alpha_s} with respect to the Modified Leading Logarithmic Approximation (MLLA), at and beyond the limiting spectrum (assuming an infrared cut-off Q_0 = Lambda_QCD and Q_0 not = Lambda_QCD). The agreement between our results and preliminary measurements by the CDF collaboration is impressive, much better than at MLLA, pointing out very small overall non-perturbative contributions.

description: The precision measurements of the cosmic microwave background power spectrum put a strong constraint on the dark matter annihilation cross section since the electromagnetic energy injection by the dark matter annihilation affects the ionization history of the universe. In this paper, we update our previous simulation code for calculating the ionization history with the effect of dark matter annihilation by including Helium interactions and improving the precision of calculations. We give an updated constraint on the annihilation cross section and mass of dark matter using the modified RECFAST code with the Planck 2018 datasets.
