description: We present deep submillimetre photometry for 14 galaxies at z=0.5 that are hosts of type 1a supernovae, with the aim of examining the evolution of dust mass and extinction in normal galaxies. We combine these results with our previous observations of 17 z~0.5 SN1a hosts to look for any evolution in the dust content of normal galaxies between z=0 and z=0.5. The average observed frame 850micron flux of SN1a hosts in the full sample, excluding 2 bright individually detected objects, is 0.44 +/- 0.22 mJy. This flux level is consistent with there being little or no evolution in the dust content, or optical extinction, of normal galaxies from z=0 to z=0.5. One galaxy, the host of SN1996cf, is detected individually, and we also present a deep HST STIS image for this object. It appears to be an edge on disk system, similar to the submm bright host of SN1997ey. We thus examine the dust properties of these and one other individually detected object. 450-to-850 micron flux ratios and limits suggest that the dust in the two brightest submm sources, SN1996cf and SN1997ey, is cold, T ~20K, implying that they contain a substantial mass of dust ~10^9 Msun. The presence of two bright (F850 >7mJy) submm sources at z~0.5 in a sample of ostensibly normal galaxies is surprising, and has important implications. It supports the idea that a substantial part of the Cosmic Infrared Background (CIB) may be produced at z<1, while also suggesting that 'foreground' objects such as these may be a significant 'contaminant' in submm surveys. Finally, we examine the overall submm luminosity distribution at z=0.5 implied by our results, and conclude that either there is substantial evolution in the submm luminosity function from z=0 to 0.5, or our submm detected sources are somehow not representative of the bulk of galaxies at this redshift.

description: We give a self-contained treatment of Le and Habiro's approach to the Jones function of a knot and Habiro's cyclotomic form of the Ohtsuki invariant for manifolds obtained by surgery around a knot. On the way we reproduce a state sum formula of Garoufalidis and Le for the colored Jones function of a knot. As a corollary, we obtain bounds on the growth of coefficients in the Ohtsuki series for manifolds obtained by surgery around a knot, which support the slope conjecture of Jacoby and the first author.

description: A d-bar-analogue of differential characters for complex manifolds is introduced and studied using a new theory of homological spark complexes. Many essentially different spark complexes are shown to have isomorphic groups of spark classes. This has many consequences: It leads to an analytic representation of O*-gerbes with connection, it yields a soft resolution of the sheaf O* by currents on the manifold, and more generally it gives a Dolbeault-Federer representation of Deligne cohomology as the cohomology of certain complexes of currents. It is shown that the d-bar-spark classes H^*(X) carry a functorial ring structure. Holomorphic bundles have Chern classes in this theory which refine the integral classes and satisfy Whitney duality. A version of Bott vanishing for holomorphic foliations is proved in this context.

description: We investigate the effects of nonlinear couplings and external magnetic field on the thermal entanglement in a two-spin-qutrit system by applying the concept of negativity. It is found that the nonlinear couplings favor the thermal entanglement creating. Only when the nonlinear couplings $|K|$ are larger than a certain critical value does the entanglement exist. The dependence of the thermal entanglement in this system on the magnetic field and temperature is also presented. The critical magnetic field increases with the increasing nonlinear couplings constant $|K|$. And for a fixed nonlinear couplings constant, the critical temperature is independent of the magnetic field $B$.

description: The power spectrum of quantum fluctuations of the electromagnetic field produced by an elementary particle is determined. It is found that in a wide range of practically important frequencies the power spectrum of fluctuations exhibits an inverse frequency dependence. The magnitude of fluctuations produced by a conducting sample is shown to have a Gaussian distribution around its mean value, and its dependence on the sample geometry is determined. In particular, it is demonstrated that for geometrically similar samples the power spectrum is inversely proportional to the sample volume. It is argued also that the magnitude of fluctuations induced by external electric field is proportional to the field strength squared. A comparison with experimental data on flicker noise measurements in continuous metal films is made.

description: The exercise of market power across multiple geographic fed cattle markets is measured with an econometric model which links behavior of the margin between boxed beef and regional fed cattle prices to an oligopsony model of multiple-market conduct. The game theoretic economic model suggests that for market power to be exercised in a single market a discontinuous pricing strategy must be followed. Total market power is enhance if meat-packers coordinate this pricing strategy across geographic markets. Tests reject independence of pricing conduct across geographic markets which suggests multiple-market power is present. The extent of the market power also is consistent with the economic model. More market power is exercised across regions with the same meat-packing firms. However, the magnitude of the market power is small and decreased between the early and late 1980s.

description: A formula is derived to indicate the marginal returns to nonprice promotion for a competitive industry that promotes in both the domestic and the export market and receives a subsidy for export promotion. Private returns to export promotion are an increasing function of the export promotion elasticity, the export share, and the promotion subsidy and a decreasing function of the domestic supply elasticity, the absolute values of the domestic and export demand elasticities, and opportunity cost. Applying the formula to almond promotion and using previously estimated elasticities, no firm conclusions can be made regarding the effectiveness of export promotion, chiefly because the estimated promotion elasticities are unstable. Assuming that the domestic promotion elasticity is robust, it appears that domestic market promotion is underfunded from a producer-welfare perspective unless the marginal rate of return on alternative uses of promotion funds is high, on the order of 115%.

description: Ex post evaluation of economic projections validates our shared understanding of economic methodology and methods. The recent economic history of Central Arizona Project (CAP) agriculture reveals the predictive power of economic reasoning and its policy impotence within a political environment intent on obtaining its share of federally allocated water. The financial inability and unwillingness of large irrigation districts to pay for CAP water under existing federal rules produced an urban tax- and rate-payer controlled CAP decades earlier than planned. Yet irrigation districts remain a large residual buyer of CAP water under new pricing and allocation rules. Unfortunately, water markets remain an underutilized and distrusted tool in the water development game.

description: Rules are derived to indicate the optimal allocation of a fixed promotion budget between domestic and export markets when the commodity in question represents a significant portion of world trade and is protected in the domestic market by a deficiency-payment program. Optimal allocation decisions are governed by advertising elasticities in the domestic and export markets and the export market share. Promotion's ability to lower deficiency payments is inversely related to the absolute value of demand elasticities in the domestic and export markets and directly related to advertising elasticities and certain policy parameters. The empirical application suggests subsidies for nonprice export promotion may be efficiency increasing in a second-best sense. That is, the heightened subsidies associated with the Targeted Export Assistance program and the Market Promotion Program appear to have corrected allocative errors that favored domestic market promotion.

description: We consider hydrodynamics with non conserved number of particles and show that it can be modeled with effective fluid Lagrangians which explicitly depend on the velocity potentials. For such theories, the {}``shift symetry'' $ϕ\toϕ+$const. leading to the conserved number of fluid particles in conventional hydrodynamics is globaly broken and, as a result, the non conservation of particle number appears as a source term in the continuity equation. The particle number non-conservation is balanced by the entropy change, with both the entropy and the source term expresed in terms of the fluid velocity potential. Equations of hydrodynamics are derived using a modified version of Schutz's variational principle method. Examples of fluids described by such Lagrangians (tachyon condensate, k-essence) in spatially flat isotropic universe are briefly discussed.

description: The heaviest known Fermion particle -- the top quark -- was discovered at Fermilab in the first run of the Tevatron in 1995. However, besides its mere existence one needs to study its properties precisely in order to verify or falsify the predictions of the Standard Model. With the top quark's extremely high mass and short lifetime such measurements probe yet unexplored regions of the theory and bring us closer to solving the open fundamental questions of our universe of elementary particles such as why three families of quarks and leptons exist and why their masses differ so dramatically. To perform these measurements hundreds of millions of recorded proton-antiproton collisions must be reconstructed and filtered to extract the few top quarks produced. Simulated background and signal events with full detector response need to be generated and reconstructed to validate and understand the results. Since the start of the second run of the Tevatron the D0 collaboration has brought Grid computing to its aid for the production of simulated events. Data processing on the Grid has recently been added and thereby enabled us to effectively triple the amount of data available with the highest quality reconstruction methods. We will present recent top quark results D0 obtained from these improved data and explain how they benefited from the availability of computing resources on the Grid.

description: We offer a simple non-perturbative formula for the component action of a generic N=1/2 supersymmetric chiral model in terms of an arbitrary number of chiral superfields in four dimensions, which is obtained by the Non-Anti-Commutative (NAC) deformation of a generic four-dimensional N=1 supersymmetric non-linear sigma-model described by arbitrary Kaehler superpotential and scalar superpotential. The auxiliary integrations responsible for fuzziness are eliminated in the case of a single chiral superfield. The scalar potential in components is derived by eliminating the auxiliary fields. The NAC-deformation of the CP(1) Kaehler non-linear sigma-model with an arbitrary scalar superpotential is calculated as an example.

Order--disorder separation: Geometric revision

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: After Boltzmann and Gibbs, the notion of disorder in statistical physics relates to ensembles, not to individual states. This disorder is measured by the logarithm of ensemble volume, the entropy. But recent results about measure concentration effects in analysis and geometry allow us to return from the ensemble--based point of view to a state--based one, at least, partially. In this paper, the order--disorder problem is represented as a problem of relation between distance and measure. The effect of strong order--disorder separation for multiparticle systems is described: the phase space could be divided into two subsets, one of them (set of disordered states) has almost zero diameter, the second one has almost zero measure. The symmetry with respect to permutations of particles is responsible for this type of concentration. Dynamics of systems with strong order--disorder separation has high average acceleration squared, which can be interpreted as evolution through a series of collisions (acceleration--dominated dynamics). The time arrow direction from order to disorder follows from the strong order--disorder separation. But, inverse, for systems in space of symmetric configurations with ``sticky boundaries" the way back from disorder to order is typical (Natural selection). Recommendations for mining of molecular dynamics results are presented also.

description: These code sources are for a coupled physical-biogeochemical model. The physical model is ROMS, to which we coupled the ecosystem model of Ward et al. (2012) that describes the dynamics of four functional groups of phytoplankton and one zooplankton group, all further resolved into a continuum of size classes. The model and equations are specified in Ward et al. (2012, and its appendix). The four phytoplankton functional types (pft) are analogs of Prochlorococcus, Synechococcus, small eukaryotes (non-diatoms), and diatoms; we choose to divide each pft into 2 (called P1 and P2), 2 (S1 and S2), 5 (E1 to E5) and 5 (D1 to D5) size classes, respectively. Thus, 14 size classes of phytoplankton ranging from 0.5 to ~100 µm equivalent spherical diameter (ESD) are initialized. The zooplankton are divided into eight size classes (Z1 to Z8, ranging from ~5 to 1000 µm ESD: Z1 to Z3 are nanozooplankton-like, Z4 and Z5 microzooplankton-like, and Z6 to Z8 mesozooplankton-like. Each size class is twice the volume of the previous size class. This model is based on carbon, nitrogen and iron. For their growth, phytoplankton access multiple inorganic nutrients, including nitrate (except Prochlorococcus), nitrite, ammonium, and iron.

description: The martensitic start temperature ($M_{\text{s}}$) is a technologically fundamental characteristic of high-temperature shape memory alloys. We have recently shown [Phys. Rev. B 94, 224104 (2016)] that the two key features in describing the composition dependence of $M_\text{s}$ are the $T=0$ K phase stability and the difference in vibrational entropy which, within the Debye model, is directly linked to the elastic properties. Here, we use density functional theory together with special quasi-random structures to study the elastic properties of disordered martensite and austenite Ti-Ta alloys as a function of composition. We observe a softening in the tetragonal shear elastic constant of the austenite phase at low Ta content and a \emph{non-linear} behavior in the shear elastic constant of the martensite. A minimum of 12.5$\%$ Ta is required to stabilize the austenite phase at $T = 0$ K. Further, the shear elastic constants and Young's modulus of martensite exhibit a maximum for Ta concentrations close to 30$\%$. Phenomenological, elastic-constant-based criteria suggest that the addition of Ta enhances the strength, but reduces the ductile character of the alloys. In addition, the directional elastic stiffness, calculated for both martensite and austenite, becomes more isotropic with increasing Ta content. The reported trends in elastic properties as a function of composition may serve as a guide in the design of alloys with optimized properties in this interesting class of materials.

description: We observed the HH 211 jet in the submillimeter continuum and the CO(3-2) and SiO(8-7) transitions with the Submillimeter Array. The continuum source detected at the center of the outflow shows an elongated morphology, perpendicular to the direction of the outflow axis. The high-velocity emission of both molecules shows a knotty and highly collimated structure. The SiO(8-7) emission at the base of the outflow, close to the driving source, spans a wide range of velocities, from -20 up to 40 km s^{-1}. This suggests that a wide-angle wind may be the driving mechanism of the HH 211 outflow. For distances greater than 5" (1500 AU) from the driving source, emission from both transitions follows a Hubble-law behavior, with SiO(8-7) reaching higher velocities than CO(3-2), and being located upstream of the CO(3-2) knots. This indicates that the SiO(8-7) emission is likely tracing entrained gas very close to the primary jet, while the CO(3-2) is tracing less dense entrained gas. From the SiO(5-4) data of Hirano et al. we find that the SiO(8-7)/SiO(5-4) brightness temperature ratio along the jet decreases for knots far from the driving source. This is consistent with the density decreasing along the jet, from (3-10)x10^6 cm^{-3} at 500 AU to (0.8-4)x10^6 cm^{-3} at 5000 AU from the driving source.

description: Source control is one way to address salinity and drainage problems in irrigated agriculture, and reuse of drainage flows on salt-tolerant crops or trees in agroforestry production is another. A regional model of agricultural production with drainwater reuse and disposal is developed. Deep percolation flows are controlled through choice of crop areas, irrigation systems, and applied-water quantities. Crop drainwater may by reused in agroforestry production, and residual emissions are disposed of in an evaporation pond. A significant role for both source control and reuse is found. Sensitivity to various cost and revenue parameters is also analyzed.
(Pro)créer : maternité et créativité dans trois romans de Nancy Huston

description: Throughout history, women have suffered from the mind/ body dualism, a major component of Western patriarchal ideology, which has consigned the body to women and the brain to men. Women's role is relegated to procreating, a "natural" act of the body that produces offspring, while men create, a conscious undertaking of the mind that brings something new into being. Women artists frequently confront continuous challenges to their creativity having to choose between mothering and artistic creation. Theorists like de Beauvoir saw the two as incompatible, three novels by Nancy Huston: La Virevolte (1994), Instruments des tenebres (1996) and Prodige (1999), seem in some ways to confirm that dilemma. Yet elsewhere this bilingual author affirms not only the possibility of combining them, but the importance of doing so to produce works that are feminine. Her work challenges the view of motherhood as metaphor in French feminist theory, as Huston relates that theory to practical concerns more often associated with anglophone feminist theory. A range of feminist works on maternity will be employed to examine the changing positions adopted in these novels, where the division between creation and maternity is primordial, but this split implies different results in each case. Instead of the traditional or feminist figure of motherhood, based on maternal love or instinct, the reader is confronted with specific types of conflict between mother and child.

description: Variability in published meat demand elasticity estimates for Canada motivates examining the importance of dynamics and endogeneity of right-hand-side variables. Wickens and Breusch suggest a re-parameterization of dynamics which allows estimating the long-run parameters directly and maintains linearity. A symmetric approach, employing both ordinary and inverse demand systems, to endogeneity of right-hand-side variables is used. Endogeneity of both prices and quantities is examined. Results show both dynamics and endogeneity are important in quarterly Canadian meat demand.

description: In 1859, Le Verrier discovered the mercury perihelion advance anomaly. This anomaly turned out to be the first relativistic-gravity effect observed. During the 141 years to 2000, the precisions of laboratory and space experiments, and astrophysical and cosmological observations on relativistic gravity have been improved by 3 orders of magnitude. In 1999, we envisaged a 3-6 order improvement in the next 30 years in all directions of tests of relativistic gravity. In 2000, the interferometric gravitational wave detectors began their runs to accumulate data. In 2003, the measurement of relativistic Shapiro time-delay of the Cassini spacecraft determined the relativistic-gravity parameter gammaγ with a 1.5-order improvement. In October 2004, Ciufolini and Pavlis reported a measurement of the Lense-Thirring effect on the LAGEOS and LAGEOS2 satellites to 10 percent of the value predicted by general relativity. In April 2004, Gravity Probe B was launched and has been accumulating science data for more than 170 days now. MICROSCOPE is on its way for a 2007 launch to test Galileo equivalence principle to 10-15. STEP (Satellite Test of Equivalence Principle), and ASTROD (Astrodynamical Space Test of Relativity using Optical Devices) are in the good planning stage. Various astrophysical tests and cosmological tests of relativistic gravity will reach precision and ultra-precision stages. Clock tests and atomic interferometry tests of relativistic gravity will reach an ever-increasing precision. These will give revived interest and development both in experimental and theoretical aspects of gravity, and may lead to answers to some profound questions of gravity and the cosmos.

description: Currently, New Mexico law does not provide any legal avenue of protecting instream flows. A change in the status quo requires that a prima facie case be made establishing sufficient evidence of the public benefits from maintaining instream flows to warrant consideration, or standing, in future water policy deliberations. Using the contingent valuation (CV) method, we investigate the nonmarket benefits of protecting minimum instream flows in New Mexico. Results from a dichotomous choice CV telephone survey show significant nonmarket values for protecting instream flows that are sensitive to a change in scope and insensitive to a group-size reminder.

description: Sources of growth in U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) are analyzed in a general equilibrium, open economy framework using time-series data. Contributions from labor and capital account for 75% of the economy's average growth, with total factor productivity (TFP) accounting for the remainder. Changes in the domestic terms of trade appear to be biased in favor of the services sector and against the agricultural and industrial sectors. A number of Rybczynski and Stolper-Samuelson-like linkages between the agricultural sector and the rest of the economy are identified. Labor-using technological change and favorable terms of trade appear to be the major contributors to the growth of the services sector. These changes have led to a decline in the competitiveness of the industrial and agricultural sectors for economy-wide resources. Technological change has tended to be neutral toward the production of farm output.

description: The 4He total photoabsorption cross section is calculated with the realistic nucleon-nucleon potential Argonne V18 and the three-nucleon force (3NF) Urbana IX. Final state interaction is included rigorously via the Lorentz Integral Transform method. A rather pronounced giant resonance with peak cross sections of 3 (3.2) mb is obtained with (without) 3NF. Above 50 MeV strong 3NF effects, up to 35%, are present. Good agreement with experiment is found close to threshold. A comparison in the giant resonance region is inconclusive, since present data do not show a unique picture.

description: The chaotic synchronization of two electron-wave media with interacting backward waves and cubic phase nonlinearity is investigated in the paper. To detect the chaotic synchronization regime we use a new approach, the so-called time scale synchronization [Chaos, 14 (3) 603-610 (2004)]. This approach is based on the consideration of the infinite set of chaotic signals' phases introduced by means of continuous wavelet transform. The complex space-time dynamics of the active media and mechanisms of the time scale synchronization appearance are considered.

description: The recent results on the main soft observables, including hadron and photon yields and particle number ratios, $p_T$ spectra, flow harmonics, as well as the femtoscopy radii, obtained within the integrated hydrokinetic model (iHKM) for high-energy heavy-ion collisions are reviewed and re-examined. The cases of different nuclei colliding at different energies are considered: Au+Au collisions at the top RHIC energy $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=200$ GeV, Pb+Pb collisions at the LHC energies $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=2.76$ TeV and $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=5.02$ TeV, and the LHC Xe+Xe collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=5.44$ TeV. The effect of the initial conditions and the model parameters, including the utilized equation of state (EoS) for quark-gluon phase, on the simulation results, as well as the role of the final afterburner stage of the matter evolution are discussed. The possible solution of the so-called ``photon puzzle'' is considered. The attention is also paid to the dependency of the interferometry volume and individual interferometry radii on the initial transverse geometrical size of the system formed in the collision.

description: Dynamics of a classical particle in a one-dimensional, randomly driven potential is analysed both analytically and numerically. The potential considered here is composed of two identical spatially-periodic saw-tooth-like components, one of which is externally driven by a random force. We show that under certain conditions the particle may travel against the averaged external force performing a saltatory unidirectional drift with a constant velocity. Such a behavior persists also in situations when the external force averages out to zero. We demonstrate that the physics behind this phenomenon stems from a particular behavior of fluctuations in random force: upon reaching a certain level, random fluctuations exercise a locking function creating points of irreversibility which the particle can not overpass. Repeated (randomly) in each cycle, this results in a saltatory unidirectional drift. This mechanism resembles the work of an escapement-type device in watches. Considering the overdamped limit, we propose simple analytical estimates for the particle's terminal velocity.

UV dust attenuation as a function of stellar mass and its evolution with redshift

description: Studying the UV dust attenuation, as well as its relation to other galaxy parameters such as the stellar mass, plays an important role in multi-wavelength research. This work relates the dust attenuation to the stellar mass of star forming galaxies, and its evolution with redshift. A sample of galaxies with an estimate of the dust attenuation computed from the infrared excess was used. The dust attenuation vs. stellar mass data, separated in redshift bins, was modelled by a single parameter linear function, assuming a nonzero constant apparent dust attenuation for low mass galaxies. But the origin of this effect is still to be determined and several possibilities are explored (actual high dust content, variation of the dust-to-metal ratio, variation of the stars-dust geometry). The best-fitting parameter of this model is then used to study the redshift evolution of the cosmic dust attenuation and is found to be in agreement with results from the literature. This work also gives evidence to a redshift evolution of the dust attenuation - stellar mass relationship, as is suggested by recent works in the highest redshift range.

description: A study was conducted to determine the extent of communication media used by the women beneficiaries of BRAC for getting information to perform in income generating activities. Data were colleted from 100 randomly selected respondents from ten selected villages of bangalipur union under saidpur upazila of Nilphamari district using an interview schedule during 20 March to 15 April 2010. Thirteen communication media were considered for measuring the extent of use of communication media. Coefficient of correlation was computed to explore the relationship between concerned variable based on media use index. The extent of communication media used by women beneficiaries were 12-32 with mean 21.9 and 5.2 standard deviation. Majorities (58%) of responded were frequent user and 30% were occasional user and 12% were regular user of communication media. Farm size, cosmopoliteness, agricultural knowledge attitude towards adoption of innovation and income from IGAs have positive influence of their use of communication media on the other hand age, education, family size, credit availability have no relationship with the use of communication media for getting information in performing income generating activities.

description: Concern has been voiced that U.S. Department of Agriculture (UDSA) Farm Costs and Returns Surveys are used for a wide variety of policy analyses but produce questionable estimates. USDA-developed crop and livestock cost and return estimates for New Mexico and other selected states are compared to estimates developed by state universities. Major differences exist, most important of which relate to the ability of the survey respondent to answer the questions posed. Regardless of the cause of the differences, closer cooperation between the USDA and state universities clearly is needed to develop consistent estimates.
