description: The nonlinear, or null gravitational memory effect for zoom-whirl orbits around fast spinning Kerr black holes for extreme mass ratio systems has a staircase structure. The latter is characterized by a periodic fast increase in the memory during the whirl phases of the orbit, and near constant levels when the orbit is near apoapsis. We study the contribution of different spherical harmonic modes to this effect, and discuss the relative importance thereof. Because the hereditary memory effect increases in magnitude linearly in the number of periapsis passages on a dynamical time scale, while the oscillatory parent gravitational waves are sourced by an orbit that evolves on a much longer radiation reaction time scale, the magnitude of the former relative to the latter increases with time. We also consider orphan memory and the memory effect for extreme mass ratio inspirals. We then discuss the prospect of detection with the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA).

description: We combine the shoving model of $T$-dependent viscosity of supercooled liquids with the Zwanzig-Mountain formula for the high-frequency shear modulus, using the $g(r)$ of MD simulations of metal alloys as the input. This scheme leads to a semi-analytical expression for the viscosity as a function of temperature, which provides a three-parameter model fitting of experimental data of viscosity for the same alloy for which $g(r)$ was calculated. The model provides direct access to the influence of atomic-scale physical quantities such as the interatomic potential $ϕ(r)$, on the viscosity and fragile-strong behavior. In particular, it is established that a steeper interatomic repulsion leads to fragile liquids, or, conversely, that "soft atoms make strong liquids".

description: A systematic construction of superstring scattering amplitudes for $N$ massless NS bosons to two loop order is given, based on the projection of supermoduli space onto super period matrices used earlier for the superstring measure in the first four papers of this series. The one important new difficulty arising for the $N$-point amplitudes is the fact that the projection onto super period matrices introduces corrections to the chiral vertex operators for massless NS bosons which are not pure (1,0) differential forms. However, it is proved that the chiral amplitudes are closed differential forms, and transform by exact differentials on the worldsheet under changes of gauge slices. Holomorphic amplitudes and independence of left from right movers are recaptured after the extraction of terms which are Dolbeault exact in one insertion point, and de Rham closed in the remaining points. This allows a construction of GSO projected, integrated superstring scattering amplitudes which are independent of the choice of gauge slices and have only physical kinematical singularities.

description: The molecular genetic identification of bacterial strains of genus Pseudomonas isolated from soil and vegetative material of potato plants (Solanum tuberosum) was carried out. PCR analysis using the genus-specific OpriF / OpriR primer showed that 9 samples of a pure bacterial culture were characterized by the presence of one amplicon characteristic of Pseudomonades. Affiliation of selected bacteria to genus Pseudomonas was confirmed by a comparative analysis of the deciphered nucleotide sequence of the 16S rRNA gene with the reference nucleotide sequences of typical strains from the RDP database. A wide range of enzymatic activity and pronounced antagonistic properties in relation to phytopathogenic micromycetes of genera Alternaria and Fusarium were established in selected strains of bacteria.

description: Straw tube detectors are single wire proportional counters that are widely used as a tracking device. We have carried out R$\&$D with a straw tube detector prototype. The motivation of this work is to study the stability of the performance in terms of gain and energy resolution of the straw tube detectors under high rate radiation. Two different methods are incorporated to perform this study. The gain and energy resolution of the detector are studied along with its variation with ambient temperature and pressure. X-ray from a radioactive source is used to irradiate the detector and the same source is also used to monitor the energy spectra simultaneously for calculation of gain. Variation of the gain and energy resolution of the straw tube detector under X-ray irradiation in Ar/CO$_2$ gas mixture is discussed in this article. We have also estimated the time resolution of the straw tube detectors that can be best achieved with cosmic rays as trigger for the same gas mixture. The details of the measurement process and the experimental results are presented in this article.
Change maintenance after therapeutic enactment : a critical incident study The show must go on
Creators: name: Fotheringham, Jodi Lee
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Peoples' efforts to change, grow, and heal take place under a variety of conditions. The goal of any therapeutic intervention is to provide exceptional conditions of safety and skill to strategically promote change. The majority of psychotherapeutic investigation has focused on its own outcome effectiveness to the detriment of a broader understanding of change (Karoly & Wheeler Anderson, 2000; Meichenbaum, 1997; Prochaska, 1999). The purpose of this study is to contribute to an understanding of how people continue their own change process after participating in therapy. The present study uses Flanagan's (1954) Critical Incident Method to investigate what factors facilitated participants' efforts to maintain the change they achieved through therapeutic enactment. Co-researchers in this study were individuals who reported significant change as a result of their experience as leads in their own enactments. These co-researchers were asked to engage in self-reflection, and to articulate their experience of critical incidents which helped or hindered them in the consolidation of their changes. They were interviewed once to collect the data, and again a second time in order to validate the data. Five additional procedures were used to establish validity and reliability of the data: independent raters, expert raters, exhaustiveness check, participation rate, and theoretical agreement. A total of 125 critical incidents were reported by eight co-researchers. Six facilitative action categories were developed from this data: (a) connecting with others, (b) practicing, (c) remembering, (d) connecting with emotional and physical aspects of self, (e) resolving, (f) contemplating. Strong theoretical agreement was established between these helpful activities and nine of the ten processes of change determined through the studies of Prochaska and colleagues (Prochaska, Johnson, & Lee, 1998). The source or contexts of the incidents also proved to be significant in facilitating change maintenance. A taxonomy of action categories and context sub-categories was developed to provide some ideas to promote change maintenance. The taxonomy is based on a compilation of the results from this study and relevant literature. Special attention was paid to two of the most commonly and frequently used facilitative activities: connecting with others and practicing. Theoretical, practical, and research implications are discussed related to these facilitative action categories.

description: We show that deep generative neural networks, based on global topology optimization networks (GLOnets), can be configured to perform the multi-objective and categorical global optimization of photonic devices. A residual network scheme enables GLOnets to evolve from a deep architecture, which is required to properly search the full design space early in the optimization process, to a shallow network that generates a narrow distribution of globally optimal devices. As a proof-of-concept demonstration, we adapt our method to design thin film stacks consisting of multiple material types. Benchmarks with known globally-optimized anti-reflection structures indicate that GLOnets can find the global optimum with orders of magnitude faster speeds compared to conventional algorithms. We also demonstrate the utility of our method in complex design tasks with its application to incandescent light filters. These results indicate that advanced concepts in deep learning can push the capabilities of inverse design algorithms for photonics.

description: The progenitor of SN 2005cs, in the galaxy M51, is identified in pre-explosion HST ACS WFC imaging. Differential astrometry, with post-explosion ACS HRC F555W images, permitted the identification of the progenitor with an accuracy of 0.006". The progenitor was detected in the F814W pre-explosion image with I=23.3+/-0.2, but was below the detection thresholds of the F435W and F555W images, with B<24.8 and V<25 at 5-sigma. Limits were also placed on the U and R band fluxes of the progenitor from pre-explosion HST WFPC2 F336W and F675W images. Deep images in the infra-red from NIRI on the Gemini-North telescope were taken 2 months prior to explosion, but the progenitor is not clearly detected on these. The upper limits for the JHK magnitudes of the progenitor were J<21.9,H<21.1 and K<20.7. Despite having a detection in only one band, a restrictive spectral energy distribution of the progenitor star can be constructed and a robust case is made that the progenitor was a red supergiant with spectral type between mid-K to late-M. The spectral energy distribution allows a region in the theoretical HR diagram to be determined which must contain the progenitor star. The initial mass of the star is constrained to be M(ZAMS)=9+3/-2 M_solar, which is very similar to the identified progenitor of the type II-P SN 2003gd, and also consistent with upper mass limits placed on five other similar SNe. The upper limit in the deep K-band image is significant in that it allows us to rule out the possibility that the progenitor was a significantly higher mass object enshrouded in a dust cocoon before core-collapse. This is further evidence that the trend for type II-P SNe to arise in low to moderate mass red supergiants is real.

description: The effects of requiring capitalization of citrus and almond orchard development expenses on acreage, production and product prices for seven California orchard and vine crops are estimated. Acreage and production of citrus and almonds decreased, as expected. The decreases in orange and lemon acreage, however, were more than offset by increased acreage of walnuts and grapes. The switch of developer and investor interest to walnuts and grapes appears to have added to the cyclical instability of production and prices for these two crops. Perennial crop adjustments to selective changes in tax provisions involve very significant time lags.

description: How can we teach robots or virtual assistants to gesture naturally? Can we go further and adapt the gesturing style to follow a specific speaker? Gestures that are naturally timed with corresponding speech during human communication are called co-speech gestures. A key challenge, called gesture style transfer, is to learn a model that generates these gestures for a speaking agent 'A' in the gesturing style of a target speaker 'B'. A secondary goal is to simultaneously learn to generate co-speech gestures for multiple speakers while remembering what is unique about each speaker. We call this challenge style preservation. In this paper, we propose a new model, named Mix-StAGE, which trains a single model for multiple speakers while learning unique style embeddings for each speaker's gestures in an end-to-end manner. A novelty of Mix-StAGE is to learn a mixture of generative models which allows for conditioning on the unique gesture style of each speaker. As Mix-StAGE disentangles style and content of gestures, gesturing styles for the same input speech can be altered by simply switching the style embeddings. Mix-StAGE also allows for style preservation when learning simultaneously from multiple speakers. We also introduce a new dataset, Pose-Audio-Transcript-Style (PATS), designed to study gesture generation and style transfer. Our proposed Mix-StAGE model significantly outperforms the previous state-of-the-art approach for gesture generation and provides a path towards performing gesture style transfer across multiple speakers.

description: We study the statistics of the number of executed hops of adatoms at the surface of films grown with the Clarke-Vvedensky (CV) model in simple cubic lattices. The distributions of this number, $N$, are determined in films with average thicknesses close to $50$ and $100$ monolayers for a broad range of values of the diffusion-to-deposition ratio $R$ and of the probability $ε$ that lowers the diffusion coefficient for each lateral neighbor. The mobility of subsurface atoms and the energy barriers for crossing step edges are neglected. Simulations show that the adatoms execute uncorrelated diffusion during the time in which they move on the film surface. In a low temperature regime, typically with $Rε\lesssim 1$, the attachment to lateral neighbors is almost irreversible, the average number of hops scales as $\langle N\rangle \sim R^{0.38\pm 0.01}$, and the distribution of that number decays approximately as $\exp\left[-\left({N/\langle N\rangle}\right)^{0.80\pm 0.07}\right]$. Similar decay is observed in simulations of random walks in a plane with randomly distributed absorbing traps and the estimated relation between $\langle N\rangle$ and the density of terrace steps is similar to that observed in the trapping problem, which provides a conceptual explanation of that regime. As the temperature increases, $\langle N\rangle$ crosses over to another regime when $Rε^{3.0\pm 0.3}\sim 1$, which indicates high mobility of all adatoms at terrace borders. The distributions $P\left( N\right)$ change to simple exponential decays, due to the constant probability for an adatom to become immobile after being covered by a new deposited layer. At higher temperatures, the surfaces become very smooth and $\langle N\rangle \sim Rε^{1.85\pm 0.15}$, which is explained by an analogy with submonolayer growth.
Self-induced decoherence approach: Strong limitations on its validity in a simple spin bath model and on its general physical relevance
Creators: name: Schlosshauer, Maximilian
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005

description: The "self-induced decoherence" (SID) approach suggests that (1) the expectation value of any observable becomes diagonal in the eigenstates of the total Hamiltonian for systems endowed with a continuous energy spectrum, and (2), that this process can be interpreted as decoherence. We evaluate the first claim in the context of a simple spin bath model. We find that even for large environments, corresponding to an approximately continuous energy spectrum, diagonalization of the expectation value of random observables does in general not occur. We explain this result and conjecture that SID is likely to fail also in other systems composed of discrete subsystems. Regarding the second claim, we emphasize that SID does not describe a physically meaningful decoherence process for individual measurements, but only involves destructive interference that occurs collectively within an ensemble of presupposed "values" of measurements. This leads us to question the relevance of SID for treating observed decoherence effects.

description: Proencistemon sp.
Text-fig. 9h–j
Description and remarks. The material includes a single staminate inflorescence fragment consisting of about seven tightly packed, stamens that lack a well-developed filament and have anthers that are almost sessile (Text-fig. 9h). Anthers are elongate, narrowly obtriangular, and 0.45 mm broad. Their full length is not preserved, but they are more than 0.8 mm long. Pollen grains are trichotomocolpate, about 16 µm in diameter, and semitectate-reticulate (Text-fig. 9i, j). These grains are very similar to pollen found in situ in the stamens of Proencistemon portugallicus.
Affinity and other occurrences. Pollen grains of Proencistemon sp. are closely similar in size, shape, aperture configuration and details of pollen wall to those found in situ in Proencistemon portugallicus, but the anthers are longer and differ in their narrow obtriangular shape. More material is needed to determine if a new species should be recognized formally. We have not observed similar stamens and pollen in other Early Cretaceous mesofossil floras from Portugal.

description: Scientific irrigation scheduling is a technique for systematically determining the proper date and quantity of each irrigation in individual fields. This technique is presently being used by government agencies and private companies in the Western United States to assist farmers in planning irrigations. This paper presents the results of a case study of the regional economic effects of scheduling the A & B District in Idaho. The analysis indicated that substantial reductions in total water use resulted from implementation of the service. However, the acreage of scheduled irrigation actively was found to be sensitive to the cost of the service and the cost of irrigation water.
Wavelet Augmented Regression Profiling (WARP): improved long-term estimation of travel time series with recurrent congestion

description: Reliable estimates of typical travel times allow road users to forward plan journeys to minimise travel time, potentially increasing overall system efficiency. On busy highways, however, congestion events can cause large, short-term spikes in travel time. These spikes make direct forecasting of travel time using standard time series models difficult on the timescales of hours to days that are relevant to forward planning. The problem is that some such spikes are caused by unpredictable incidents and should be filtered out, whereas others are caused by recurrent peaks in demand and should be factored into estimates. Here we present the Wavelet Augmented Regression Profiling (WARP) method for long-term estimation of typical travel times. WARP linearly decomposes historical time series of travel times into two components: background and spikes. It then further separates the spikes into contributions from recurrent and residual congestion. This is achieved using a combination of wavelet transforms, spectral filtering and locally weighted regression. The background and recurrent congestion contributions are then used to estimate typical travel times with horizon of one week in an accurate and computationally inexpensive manner. We train and test WARP on the M6 and M11 motorways in the United Kingdom using 12 weeks of link level travel time data obtained from the UK's National Traffic Information Service (NTIS). In out-of-sample validation tests, WARP compares favourably to estimates produced by a simple segmentation method and to the estimates published by NTIS.

description: A set of gauge transformations of a relativistic field of quantum harmonic oscillators is studied in a mathematically rigorous manner. Each wave function in the domain of the number operator of a single oscillator generates a Frechet-differentiable field of wave functions. Starting from a coherent wave function one obtains a two-dimensional differentiable manifold of coherent vector states. As an illustration it is shown that the gauge transformation can be chosen in such a way that the resulting fields describe a freely-propagating wave.

AN EFFECTIVE ASSISTANT IN MANUAL HARVESTING OF CURRANT' BERRIES: HISTORY AND PROSPECTS

Year: 2019

description: The purpose of the study was to substantiate promising directions for the creation of manual vibrators capable to improve the productivity of berries' harvesting in shrub plantations of various types based on the history of the creation in Russia of technical means for berry harvesting from bushes. The subject of the research was the technological process of interaction of the oscillating fork with the fruit-bearing branch. Everywhere the berries' picking of currant, gooseberry and honeysuckle, dog rose for a long time traditionally was carried out manually. However, since the middle of the last century, people began to use various devices not only to facilitate this process, but also to significantly increase the labor productivity. In the first models of commercial machines for the berries' picking, we used individual manual vibrators for each berry picker and lightweight mobile catchers. With the advent of high-capacity berry harvesters, we gradually ceased to use the technique with manual vibrators. New technologies and materials allow today to create more advanced manual vibrators for use not only in the homestead land, but also at group work on small commercial currants and other small fruit crops plantations, successfully competing with combines. Modernization of machines of this type, working without tractor, will have a positive impact on the environmental situation in perennial plantations.

description: The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate a technique, discriminant analysis, which may be useful in predicting the direction of movement between fall feeder calf prices and spring yearling prices. The results of the discriminant analysis model are then compared with a conventional regression approach in terms of relative accuracy of predictions. The usefulness of incorporating the direction of price movement as a variable in a price prediction model is also evaluated. Generally, the results suggest that the discriminant analysis approach provides useful information, and the directional variable improves forecasts when incorporated into a traditional forecasting model.

description: Stamens with Asteropollis- or Clavatipollenites - type pollen sp. 2
Text-fig. 16d–f
Description and remarks. The material comprises a single, well-preserved, tetrasporangiate stamen with in situ Asteropollis- or Clavatipollenites - type pollen. The filament is very short and the anther was probably almost sessile (Text-fig. 16d). The stamen is obovate in outline, about 1.4 mm long and 0.5 mm broad, with a dome shape apical extension of the connective. The aperture is not exposed in any of the grains, which creates uncertainty about their generic assignment, but they were probably monoaperturate. The pollen grains are circular in equatorial view, about 22 µm in diameter (Text-fig. 16e). The exine is semitectate-reticulate with a homobrochate reticulum (Text-fig. 16e, f). Lumina are irregular and up to about 1.8 µm in diameter. Muri are narrow, about 0.5 µm wide and ornamented with minute verrucae arranged in two rows. Columellae are short and widely spaced. Orbicules were not observed.
Affinity and other occurrences. The specimen is very similar to the “Stamen with Asteropollistype pollen sp. 2” also from Catefica (see above), but both the stamen and the in situ pollen are larger. As only the proximal side of the grains is exposed, it is unknown whether the supposed single aperture is branched as in “Stamen with Asteropollis- type pollen sp. 2” or monocolpate/trichotomocolpate as in other chloranthoid stamens from Catefica. The stamen is currently the largest of the chloranthoid stamens from Catefica that we have encountered and clearly belongs to a separate species.

description: The cooling history of a quark star in the color superconductive phase is investigated. Here we specifically focus on the 2-flavour color (2SC) phase where novel process of photon generation via glueball (GLB) decay have been already investigated (Ouyed & Sannino 2001). The picture we present here can in principle be generalized to quark stars entering a superconductive phase where similar photon generation mechanisms are at play. As much as 10^{45}-10^{47} erg of energy is provided by the GLB decay in the 2SC phase. The generated photons slowly diffuse out of the quark star keeping it hot and radiating as a black-body (with possibly a Wien spectrum in gamma-rays) for millions of years. We discuss hot radio-quiet isolated neutron stars in our picture (such as RX J185635-3754 and RX J0720.4-3125) and argue that their nearly blackbody spectra (with a few broad features) and their remarkably tiny hydrogen atmosphere are indications that these might be quark stars in the color superconductive phase where some sort of photon generation mechanism (reminiscent of the GLB decay) has taken place. Fits to observed data of cooling compact stars favor models with superconductive gaps of Delta_2SC = 15-35 MeV and densities rho_2SC=(2.5-3.0)rho_N (rho_N being the nuclear matter saturation density) for quark matter in the 2SC phase. If correct, our model combined with more observations of isolated compact stars could provide vital information to studies of quark matter and its exotic phases.

description: The article presents the calculations of the capital costs of the breeding process in stages. After determining all the expenses at specific stages, the minimum amount of funds for the implementation of the entire selection process was calculated. It amounted to 15.5 million rubles. Given the focus of breeding varieties, there is a need to justify the method of payback. Among all, the most rational is the reimbursement and multiplication of funds from deductions from the sale of seedlings. Such a method is possible due to obtaining copyright for the resulting variety. With minimal cost, the variety can be recouped through the sale of 155,000 pieces seedlings.

description: This study compares the effectiveness of five crop insurance/disaster assistance plans: an individual farm-yield insurance plan similar to the current Federal Crop Insurance Corporation multiperil program, two area-yield insurance plans, a farm-yield disaster assistance plan, and an area-yield disaster assistance plan. These methods are examined for reduction in yield and gross income variability with and without participation in the government deficiency payment program using farm-level yield data from 98 dryland wheat farms and 38 dryland corn farms in Kansas. Although individual farm-yield insurance is complex, suffers from moral hazard and adverse selection problems, and is likely to be the most expensive to administer, it provides more yield and gross income risk reduction than any of the alternative insurance/disaster assistance plans.

Clavatipollenites

description: Stamens with Asteropollis- or Clavatipollenites - type pollen sp. 1
Text-fig. 16a–c
Description and remarks. The material consists of a single tetrasporangiate stamen with Asteropollisor Clavatipollenites - type pollen in situ (Text-fig. 16a–c). The filament is lacking, and the anther was probably sessile or almost sessile. The anther is elongate elliptical, about 1 mm long and 0.3 mm broad. None of the grains shows the aperture clearly exposed, which creates the uncertainty about their generic assignment, but the grains were probably monoaperturate. Pollen is circular in equatorial view, about 17–20 µm in diameter (Text-fig. 16b). The exine is semitectate-reticulate with a homobrochate reticulum (Textfig. 16b, c). Lumina are irregular and up to about 0.9 µm in diameter. Muri are narrow, about 0.3 µm wide, ornamented with minute verrucae arranged in one row, or sometimes in two longitudinal rows, separated by a line of fine perforations (Text-fig. 16c). Columellae are short, about 0.4 µm, and widely spaced (Text-fig. 16c). Orbicules are tiny, spherical with a verrucate to spiny surface ornamentation (Text-fig. 16c).
Affinity and other occurrences. The pollen wall is closely similar to that of pollen in situ in Proencistemon portugallicus, and also pollen in situ in the unnamed stamens and inflorescence fragments with Clavatipollenites- and Asteropollis - type pollen. The pollen is typically chloranthoid, but is distinct from all other chloranthoid pollen from Catefica, as well as from chloranthoid pollen recorded from other mesofossil floras from Portugal, in the line of fine perforations on top of the muri. The distinctiveness of this feature would support the recognition of a separate species, but the lack of information on the aperture configuration precludes closer comparison with pollen of extant Chloranthaceae and also the relevant genera of fossil pollen.

description: The paper discusses the final results of research into the use and impact of ICT on a sample of firms in the Calabria region of southern Italy processing typical food products (salami, citrus fruits, oil, cheese) certified as PDO or PGI. The specific sample was chosen for two reasons: on the one hand to assess the compatibility of ICT in firms where production follows historic and territorial traditions, and on the other to test the hypothesis that the use of ICT in firms processing food products of certified quality should ideally present a greater, more significant impact. The results let us know some characteristics concerning with the introduction and usage of new technology in the examined farms.

description: This paper develops a non-separable household production model capable of analysing the effects of the 2003 CAP reform, and especially EU farm payments, on individual Dutch dairy farms. Model results show that the 2003 CAP reform farm payments do not fully compensate the income loss caused by the milk price decrease. This implies that savings, and therefore, investment decreases. Investment shifts away from on-farm investment to off-farm investment. On-farm investment in milk quotas falls compared to investment in capital and land because the shadow price of milk quotas decreases relatively to the shadow prices of land and capital.

description: Analysis of methods of creation and use of water-fuel emulsions (WFE) showed their relevance in order to save fuel, but mainly for environmental purposes. The main objective of the study is to develop a method for producing a highly stable WFE from diesel fuel with a high water content. The method is based on the use of the following operations: the introduction and mixing of complex hydrophobic emulsifiers in diesel fuel (DF); the introduction and mixing of a complex of hydrophilic emulsifiers in distilled water; mixing of both compositions and their mechano-chemical treatment by pumping 5 min in a combined static mixer-activator (activator) according to the RF patent No. 2411074 in the flow rate mode of 10 cm/s. According to the results of long-term studies, more than an annual stability of WFE, which contains 65% diesel fuel, 33% water and 2% complex emulsifiers, was obtained. The proportion of light hydrocarbons in the WFE to С15Н32 more than in activated and significantly more than in not activated DF. And the proportion of heavy hydrocarbons in the WFE, since С16Н34, significantly less than in not activated and activated DF «Euros». Re-inspection of WFE showed the immutability of its properties. A comparison of the spectrograms of the water and WFE showed the absence of water in the WFE. Modification of diesel fuel and WFE itself is explained by mechanical chemistry in the activator. And it continued when storing fuels and WFE has no adequate explanation. It is possible, that this is caused by active radicals formed in the activator. The predominance of the lungs and lower content of heavy hydrocarbons in diesel fuel and WFE after their mechano-chemistry in the activator, its irreversibility, the extension of storage of fuels and WFE are extraordinary, demonstrates the high efficiency of the activator and uniqueness of the received WFE. Chemical and chromatographic analyses of WFE showed its compliance with technical regulations for motor fuels. It reduces diesel fuel consumption by 9%, costs 25 rubles per liter.

description: We present the cosmological parameters from the CMB intensity and polarization power spectra of the 2003 Antarctic flight of the BOOMERANG telescope. The BOOMERANG data alone constrains the parameters of the $Λ$CDM model remarkably well and is consistent with constraints from a multi-experiment combined CMB data set. We add LSS data from the 2dF and SDSS redshift surveys to the combined CMB data set and test several extensions to the standard model including: running of the spectral index, curvature, tensor modes, the effect of massive neutrinos, and an effective equation of state for dark energy. We also include an analysis of constraints to a model which allows a CDM isocurvature admixture.

Algebraic Hypergeometric Transformations of Modular Origin

description: It is shown that Ramanujan's cubic transformation of the Gauss hypergeometric function ${}_2F_1$ arises from a relation between modular curves, namely the covering of $X_0(3)$ by $X_0(9)$. In general, when $2\le N\le 7$ the N-fold cover of $X_0(N)$ by $X_0(N^2)$ gives rise to an algebraic hypergeometric transformation. The N=2,3,4 transformations are arithmetic-geometric mean iterations, but the N=5,6,7 transformations are new. In the final two the change of variables is not parametrized by rational functions, since $X_0(6),X_0(7)$ are of genus 1. Since their quotients $X_0^+(6),X_0^+(7)$ under the Fricke involution (an Atkin-Lehner involution) are of genus 0, the parametrization is by two-valued algebraic functions. The resulting hypergeometric transformations are closely related to the two-valued modular equations of Fricke and H. Cohn.
