description: Previous works have analysed the relationship existing between reference evapotranspiration (ET0) and other climatic variables under a one-at-a-time perturbation condition. However, due to the physical relationships between these climatic variables is advisable to study their joint influence on ET0. The box-counting joint multifractal algorithm describes the relations between variables using relevant information extracted from the data singularities. This work investigated the use of this algorithm to describe the simultaneous behaviour of ET0, calculated by means of Penman-Monteith (PM) equation, and relative humidity (RH) and air temperature (T), influencing on it in the middle zone of the Guadalquivir river valley, Andalusia, southern Spain. The studied cases were grouped according to the fractal dimension values, which were related to their probability of occurrence. The most likely cases were linked to smooth behaviour and weak dependence between variables, both circumstances were detected in the local multifractal analysis. For these cases, the rest of Penman Monteith (PM) equation variables, neither the T nor the RH, seemed to influence on ET0 determination, especially when low T values were involved. By contrast, the least frequent cases were those with variables showing high fluctuations and strong relationship between them. In these situations, when T is low, the ET0 is affected by the rest of PM equation variables. This fact confirmed T as main driver of ET0 because the higher T values the lesser influence of other climate variables on ET0. Joint multifractal analysis shows some limitations when it is applied to large number of variables, the results reported are promising and suggest the convenience of exploring the relationships between ET0 and other climatic variables not considered here with this framework such as wind speed and net radiation.

description: We have investigated the transmission of electrons and holes through interfaces between superconducting aluminum (Tc = 1.2 K) and various normal non-magnetic metals (copper, gold, palladium, platinum, and silver) using Andreev-reflection spectroscopy at T = 0.1 K. We analyzed the point contacts with the modified BTK theory that includes Dynes' lifetime as a fitting parameter G in addition to superconducting energy gap 2D and normal reflection described by Z. For contact areas from 1 nm^2 to 10000 nm^2 the BTK Z parameter was 0.5, corresponding to transmission coefficients of about 80 %, independent of the normal metal. The very small variation of Z indicates that the interfaces have a negligible dielectric tunneling barrier. Fermi surface mismatch does not account for the observed transmission coefficient.

description: We upgraded the chemical network from the UMIST Database for Astrochemistry 2006 to include isotopes such as ^{13}C and ^{18}O. This includes all corresponding isotopologues, their chemical reactions and the properly scaled reaction rate coefficients. We study the fractionation behavior of astrochemically relevant species over a wide range of model parameters, relevant for modelling of photo-dissociation regions (PDRs). We separately analyze the fractionation of the local abundances, fractionation of the total column densities, and fractionation visible in the emission line ratios. We find that strong C^+ fractionation is possible in cool C^+ gas. Optical thickness as well as excitation effects produce intensity ratios between 40 and 400. The fractionation of CO in PDRs is significantly different from the diffuse interstellar medium. PDR model results never show a fractionation ratio of the CO column density larger than the elemental ratio. Isotope-selective photo-dissociation is always dominated by the isotope-selective chemistry in dense PDR gas. The fractionation of C, CH, CH^+, and HCO^+ is studied in detail, showing that the fractionation of C, CH and CH^+ is dominated by the fractionation of their parental species. The light hydrides chemically derive from C^+, and, consequently, their fractionation state is coupled to that of C^+. The fractionation of C is a mixed case depending on whether formation from CO or HCO^+ dominates. Ratios of the emission lines of [C II], [C I], ^{13}CO, and H^{13}CO^+ provide individual diagnostics to the fractionation status of C^+, C, and CO.

Gravothermal oscillations in multi-component models of star clusters
Creators: name: Breen, Philip G.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)

description: In this paper, gravothermal oscillations are investigated in multi-component star clusters which have power law initial mass functions (IMF). For the power law IMFs, the minimum masses ($m_{min}$) were fixed and three different maximum stellar masses ($m_{max}$) were used along with different power-law exponents ($α$) ranging from 0 to -2.35 (Salpeter). The critical number of stars at which gravothermal oscillations first appear with increasing $N$ was found using the multi-component gas code SPEDI. The total mass ($M_{tot}$) is seen to give an approximate stability condition for power law IMFs with fixed values of $m_{max}$ and $m_{min}$ independent of $α$. The value $M_{tot}/m_{max} \simeq 12000$ is shown to give an approximate stability condition which is also independent of $m_{max}$, though the critical value is somewhat higher for the steepest IMF that was studied. For appropriately chosen cases, direct N-body runs were carried out in order to check the results obtained from SPEDI. Finally, evidence of the gravothermal nature of the oscillations found in the N-body runs is presented.

description: Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) observations have revealed a bright ring of emission around the supermassive black hole at the center of the M87 galaxy. EHT images in linear polarization have further identified a coherent spiral pattern around the black hole, produced from ordered magnetic fields threading the emitting plasma. Here, we present the first analysis of circular polarization using EHT data, acquired in 2017, which can potentially provide additional insights into the magnetic fields and plasma composition near the black hole. Interferometric closure quantities provide convincing evidence for the presence of circularly polarized emission on event-horizon scales. We produce images of the circular polarization using both traditional and newly developed methods. All methods find a moderate level of resolved circular polarization across the image ($\langle|v|\rangle < 3.7\%$), consistent with the low image-integrated circular polarization fraction measured by the ALMA array ($|v_{\rm int}| < 1\%$). Despite this broad agreement, the methods show substantial variation in the morphology of the circularly polarized emission, indicating that our conclusions are strongly dependent upon the imaging assumptions because of the limited baseline coverage, uncertain telescope gain calibration, and weakly polarized signal. We include this upper limit in an updated comparison to general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) simulation models. This analysis reinforces the previously reported preference for magnetically arrested accretion flow models. We find that most simulations naturally produce a low level of circular polarization consistent with our upper limit, and that Faraday conversion is likely the dominant production mechanism for circular polarization at 230 GHz in M87*.

description: We study the large deviations statistics of the intensive work done by changing globally a control parameter in a thermally isolated quantum many-body system. We show that, upon approaching a critical point, large deviations well below the mean work display universal features related to the critical Casimir effect in the corresponding classical system. Large deviations well above the mean are, instead, of quantum nature and not captured by the quantum-to-classical correspondence. For a bosonic system we show that in this latter regime a transition from exponential to power-law statistics, analogous to the equilibrium Bose-Einstein condensation, may occur depending on the parameters of the quench and on the spatial dimensionality.

description: A set of indicators derived from the analysis of complex networks have been introduced to identify singularities on a time series. To that end, the Visibility Graphs (VG) from three different signals related to photochemical smog (O3, NO2 concentration and temperature) have been computed. From the resulting complex network, the centrality parameters have been obtained and compared among them. Besides, they have been contrasted to two others that arise from a multifractal point of view, that have been widely used for singularity detection in many fields: the Holder and singularity exponents (specially the first one of them). The outcomes show that the complex network indicators give equivalent results to those already tested, even exhibiting some advantages such as the unambiguity and the more selective results. This suggest a favorable position as supplementary sources of information when detecting singularities in several environmental variables, such as pollutant concentration or temperature.

description: Recently, a set of graph-based tools have been introduced for the identification of singular events of O3, NO2 and temperature time series, as well as description of their dynamics. These are based on the use of the Visibility Graphs (VG). In this work, an improvement of the original approach is proposed, being called Upside-Down Visibility Graph (UDVG). It adds the possibility of investigating the singular lowest episodes, instead of the highest. Results confirm the applicability of the new method for describing the multifractal nature of the underlying O3, NO2, and temperature. Asymmetries in the NO2 degree distribution are observed, possibly due to the interaction with different chemicals. Furthermore, a comparison of VG and UDVG has been performed and the outcomes show that they describe opposite subsets of the time series (low and high values) as expected. The combination of the results from the two networks is proposed and evaluated, with the aim of obtaining all the information at once. It turns out to be a more complete tool for singularity detection in photochemical time series, which could be a valuable asset for future research.

description: The availability of photometric imaging of several thousand galaxies with the Spitzer Space Telescope enables a mid-infrared calibration of the correlation between luminosity and rotation in spiral galaxies. The most important advantage of the new calibration in the 3.6 micron band, IRAC ch.1, is photometric consistency across the entire sky. Additional advantages are minimal obscuration, observations of flux dominated by old stars, and sensitivity to low surface brightness levels due to favorable backgrounds. Through Spitzer cycle 7 roughly 3000 galaxies had been observed and images of these are available at the Spitzer archive. In cycle 8 a program called Cosmic Flows with Spitzer has been initiated that will increase by 1274 the available sample of spiral galaxies with inclinations greater than 45 degrees from face-on suitable for distance measurements. This paper describes procedures based on the photometry package Archangel that are being employed to analyze both the archival and the new data in a uniform way. We give results for 235 galaxies, our calibrator sample for the Tully-Fisher relation. Galaxy magnitudes are determined with uncertainties held below 0.05 mag for normal spiral systems. A subsequent paper will describe the calibration of the [3.6] luminosity-rotation relation.

Acculturative Stress, English Proficiency, Social Support, and Coping Strategies Among Chinese International Students
Creators: name: Zhang, Jiabao

description: Drawing on data from 137 Chinese students who enrolled in a large research university in the Southwest of the United States, this quantitative study examined the relationships between Chinese students' acculturative stress, English proficiency, social support, and coping strategies. This study utilized a survey method and employed four previously established questionnaires; moreover, the use of these questionnaires was to examine students' acculturative stress, as it is the dependent variable of this study.
In data analysis, t-test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to compare means and standard deviations of Chinese students' acculturative stress through students' demographics and characteristics. The linear correlational analyses were conducted to examine the relationships between acculturative stress, English proficiency, social support, and coping strategies. In addition, a hierarchical linear regression was performed to test the predictive power of each studied variable on acculturative stress, controlling for age, gender, home region, marital status, length of stay, and source of funding.
The results of t-test and ANOVA showed that the mean difference in marital status and source of funding were statistically significant in acculturative stress. Students with significant others and with family funding more likely to report less acculturative stress. The results of the linear correlational analyses indicated that students with higher levels of English proficiency (perceived and TOFEL) reportedly experienced lower levels of acculturative stress related to language insufficiency, social isolation, academic pressure, and guilt toward family. Social support from significant others was also significantly and negatively correlated with acculturative stress related to academic pressure. In addition, students who use suppressive and reactive coping strategies are more likely to report more acculturative stress related to language insufficiency, social isolation, perceived discrimination, academic pressure, and guilt toward family. Controlling for age, gender, region, marital status, source of funding, and length of stay, results of a linear regression revealed that students who use suppressive and reactive coping strategies are more likely to report higher levels of acculturative stress.
The findings of this study can inform higher education institutional officials and cross-cultural mental health professionals in addressing Chinese students' acculturative stress during their temporary stay in the United States. By examining the cultural composition of their acculturative stress, English proficiency, social support, and coping strategies, this study hopes to contribute to the existing literature in understanding the challenges Chinese students face while in their undergraduate studies.

Who or What Should I Be Like? The Self-Assessment of Sexual Desire
Creators: name: Maykut, Caroline
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2014

description: The construct of sexual desire has been notoriously difficult to capture and measure, in part as a function of questionable methods of sexual desire assessment. Due to problems finding an accurate, objective marker of sexual desire, research has relied on self-report. One notable difficulty with self-reported desire assessment is the lack of information on the context in which these assessments are made. The only available data focuses on relative assessment of sexual desire within couples, and ignores broader social and cultural contexts. The present study investigated men and women's perception of sexual desire discrepancies between themselves and other people and groups, and the extent to which these perceived desire discrepancies related to broader aspects of sexuality, personality traits, and life satisfaction. Heterosexual women (N = 407) and men (N = 178) were recruited from a university participant pool, and completed a series of questionnaires examining perceived sexual desire discrepancies, sexual function, sexual self-concept, sexual distress, sexual double-standard beliefs, personality traits, and life satisfaction. Desire discrepancy was calculated in two ways, to account for both the direction of discrepancy (higher or lower desire relative to the comparison group), and the magnitude of discrepancy regardless of direction. Results indicated that men generally perceive their desire to be higher than comparison groups, while women generally perceive their desire to be lower. For both men and women, peers exerted the strongest influence on the assessment of overall desire levels. In general, men and women who perceived their desire to be more discrepant from comparison groups were less satisfied and more distressed with their desire levels. In women, larger perceived discrepancy, regardless of direction, was associated with lower sexual function, sexual esteem, sexual satisfaction, sexual optimism, life satisfaction, and emotional stability, as well as with higher sexual monitoring, global sexual distress, and conscientiousness. In men, larger perceived discrepancies, regardless of direction, were associated with lower sexual esteem, sexual satisfaction, sexual optimism, life satisfaction, and higher global sexual distress. These relationships were primarily observed with desire that was discrepant from what men and women thought it should be or wanted it to be.

description: The usage of multilayer complex networks for the analysis of correlations among environmental variables (such as O3 and NO2 concentrations from the photochemical smog) is investigated in this work. The mentioned technique is called Multiplex Visibility Graphs (MVG). By performing the joint analysis of those layers, the parameters named Average Edge Overlap and Interlayer Mutual Information are extracted, which accounts for the microscopical time coherence and the correlation between the time series behavior, respectively. These parameters point to the possibility of using them independently to describe the correlation between atmospheric pollutants (which could be extended to environmental time series). More precisely the first one of them is considered to be a potential new approach to determine the time required for the correlation of NO2 and O3 to be observed, since it is obtained from the correlation of the pollutants at the smallest time scale. As for the second one, it has been checked that the proposed technique can be used to describe the variation of the correlation between the two gases along the seasons. In short, MVGs parameters are introduced and results show that they could be potentially used in a future for correlation studies, supplementing already existing techniques.

Supergranules as Probes of the Sun's Meridional Circulation
Creators: name: Hathaway, David H.
Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Recent analysis revealed that supergranules (convection cells seen at the Sun's surface) are advected by the zonal flows at depths equal to the widths of the cells themselves. Here we probe the structure of the meridional circulation by cross-correlating maps of the Doppler velocity signal using a series of successively longer time lags between maps. We find that the poleward meridional flow decreases in amplitude with time lag and reverses direction to become an equatorward return flow at time lags > 24 hours. These cross-correlation results are dominated by larger and deeper cells at longer time lags. (The smaller cells have shorter lifetimes and do not contribute to the correlated signal at longer time lags.) We determine the characteristic cell size associated with each time lag by comparing the equatorial zonal flows measured at different time lags with the zonal flows associated with different cell sizes from a Fourier analysis. This association gives a characteristic cell size of ~50 Mm at a 24 hour time lag. This indicates that the poleward meridional flow returns equatorward at depths > 50 Mm -- just below the base of the surface shear layer. A substantial and highly significant equatorward flow (4.6 +/- 0.4 m/s) is found at a time lag of 28 hours corresponding to a depth of ~70 Mm. This represents one of the first positive detections of the Sun's meridional return flow and illustrates the power of using supergranules to probe the Sun's internal dynamics.

description: We present a first attempt to determine nucleon-nucleon potentials in the parity-odd sector, which appear in 1P1, 3P0, 3P1, 3P2-3F2 channels, in Nf=2 lattice QCD simulations. These potentials are constructed from the Nambu-Bethe-Salpeter wave functions for J^P=0^-, 1^- and 2^-, which correspond to A1^-, T1^- and T2^- + E^- representation of the cubic group, respectively. We have found a large and attractive spin-orbit potential VLS(r) in the isospin-triplet channel, which is qualitatively consistent with the phenomenological determination from the experimental scattering phase shifts. The potentials obtained from lattice QCD are used to calculate the scattering phase shifts in 1P1, 3P0, 3P1 and 3P2-3F2 channels. The strong attractive spin-orbit force and a weak repulsive central force in spin-triplet P-wave channels lead to an attraction in the 3P2 channel, which is related to the P-wave neutron paring in neutron stars.

Thermal Impacts of Salt on Sandstones and Mudstones in the Lusitanian Basin, Portugal
Creators: name: Perry, Brett
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2014

description: In order to assess the impact of salt structures on paleotemperatures in adjacent sedimentary rocks, a field based study which quantified thermally driven diagenetic products as a function of distance from salt was undertaken. Several salt diapirs are now exposed at the surface of the Earth within the Lusitanian Basin and offered a unique opportunity to document paleothermal anomalies by studying thermally controlled diagenesis in adjacent, exposed Upper Jurassic rocks. Four transects were chosen within Upper Jurassic rocks that contained both sandstones and mudstones. Quartz cementation and albitization of feldspars, both of which are thermally driven processes, were quantified in sandstones. Vitrinite reflectance, a commonly used indicator of maximum paleotemperature, was documented within mudstone samples. Together these diagenetic products were used to identify patterns in the size and magnitude of paleo thermal anomalies around salt structures.
Relatively minor quantities of quartz cement and albite were found within all the transects, confirming that the rocks were shallowly buried and never reached critical temperatures high enough for significant quartz cementation or albitization of feldspars. Vitrinite reflectance for three of the transects showed elevated values near diapirs, which decreased in value as distance from salt increased. However, one transect displayed suppressed temperatures near the salt structure, which indicated a difference in the burial history of the diapir or adjacent sediments at that location. Corresponding temperatures converted from vitrinite reflectance documented positive anomalies up to 40 °C and a negative anomaly approximately 20 °C. Previous numerical models have based the size and magnitude of thermal anomalies around salt on the width, height, and depth of burial of salt structures. However, no consistent relationship was found with regards to diapir width and size of thermal anomalies. The variable sizes and magnitudes of the thermal anomalies in Upper Jurassic rocks in the Central Lusitanian Basin are interpreted as being primarily a function of diapir burial depth at the time the rocks were at their greatest burial depth.

description: This paper investigates the detection of information hidden by the Least Significant Bit (LSB) matching scheme. In a theoretical context of known image media parameters, two important results are presented. First, the use of hypothesis testing theory allows us to design the Most Powerful (MP) test. Second, a study of the MP test gives us the opportunity to analytically calculate its statistical performance in order to warrant a given probability of false-alarm. In practice when detecting LSB matching, the unknown image parameters have to be estimated. Based on the local estimator used in the Weighted Stego-image (WS) detector, a practical test is presented. A numerical comparison with state-of-the-art detectors shows the good performance of the proposed tests and highlights the relevance of the proposed methodology.

description: This paper builds on a calibration of the SNIa absolute distance scale begun with a core of distances based on the correlation between galaxy rotation rates and optical Ic band photometry. This new work extends the calibration through the use of mid-infrared photometry acquired at 3.6 microns with Spitzer Space Telescope. The great virtue of the satellite observations is constancy of the photometry at a level better than 1% across the sky. The new calibration is based on 39 individual galaxies and 8 clusters that have been the sites of well observed SNIa. The new 3.6 micron calibration is not yet as extensively based as the Ic band calibration but is already sufficient to justify a preliminary report. Distances based on the mid-infrared photometry are 2% greater in the mean than reported at Ic band. This difference is only marginally significant. The Ic band result is confirmed with only a small adjustment. Incorporating a 1% decrease in the LMC distance, the present study indicates Ho = 75.2 +/- 3.0 km/s/Mpc.
