Redshifted 21cm Signatures Around the Highest Redshift Quasars
Creators: name: Wyithe, Stuart

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The Ly-alpha absorption spectrum of the highest redshift quasars indicates that they are surrounded by giant HII regions, a few Mpc in size. The neutral gas around these HII regions should emit 21cm radiation in excess of the Cosmic Microwave Background, and enable future radio telescopes to measure the transverse extent of these HII regions. At early times, the HII regions expand with a relativistic speed. Consequently, their measured sizes along the line-of-sight (via Ly-alpha absorption) and transverse to it (via 21 cm emission) should have different observed values due to relativistic time-delay. We show that the combined measurement of these sizes would directly constrain the neutral fraction of the surrounding intergalactic medium (IGM) as well as the quasar lifetime. Based on current number counts of luminous quasars at z>6, an instrument like LOFAR should detect >2 redshifted 21cm shells per field (with a radius of 11 degrees) around active quasars as bright as those already discovered by SDSS, and >200 relic shells of inactive quasars per field. We show that Ly-alpha photons from the quasar are unable to heat the IGM or to couple the spin and kinetic temperatures of atomic hydrogen beyond the edge of the HII region. The detection of the IGM in 21cm emission around high redshift quasars would therefore gauge the presence of a cosmic Ly-alpha background during the reionization epoch.

description: The waveguiding properties of two silica-based airguiding photonic bandgap fiber designs are investigated with special emphasis on material effects. The nonlinear coefficients are found to be 1-2 orders of magnitude smaller than those obtained in index-guiding microstructured fibers with large mode areas. The material dispersion of silica makes a significant contribution to the total chromatic dispersion although less than 10% of the field energy is located in the silica regions of the fibers. These findings suggest that dispersion engineering through the choice of base material may be a possibility in this type of fibers.

description: Stemming is an integral part of Natural Language Processing (NLP). It's a preprocessing step in almost every NLP application. Arguably, the most important usage of stemming is in Information Retrieval (IR). While there are lots of work done on stemming in languages like English, Nepali stemming has only a few works. This study focuses on creating a Rule Based stemmer for Nepali text. Specifically, it is an affix stripping system that identifies two different class of suffixes in Nepali grammar and strips them separately. Only a single negativity prefix (Na) is identified and stripped. This study focuses on a number of techniques like exception word identification, morphological normalization and word transformation to increase stemming performance. The stemmer is tested intrinsically using Paice's method and extrinsically on a basic tf-idf based IR system and an elementary news topic classifier using Multinomial Naive Bayes Classifier. The difference in performance of these systems with and without using the stemmer is analysed.

description: Rain gardens are a relatively simple way to dispose of stormwater runoff. 70% of all water pollution is caused by stormwater runoff, which can be effectively managed using a rain garden. A detailed explanation on the construction of a rain garden is included in this report. This includes all considerations that should be taken – area, location, and other design details. A soil-survey must be done before the construction of the rain garden. The type of soil found will partially determine the cost of the project. Soil with high infiltration would cost less to construct on then low infiltration soil. If the soil is completely unsuitable, new soil must be brought in locally, which would increase both the economic and environmental costs. An estimate of the cost is $11-30 per cubic meter of soil. As for maintenance, litter and debris must be cleaned monthly, dead vegetation replaced bi-annually, and re-mulch annually/as needed. Given its benefits, the cost of a rain garden is low compared to other stormwater runoff solutions.

description: Time series prediction is an important problem in machine learning. Previous methods for time series prediction did not involve additional information. With a lot of dynamic knowledge graphs available, we can use this additional information to predict the time series better. Recently, there has been a focus on the application of deep representation learning on dynamic graphs. These methods predict the structure of the graph by reasoning over the interactions in the graph at previous time steps. In this paper, we propose a new framework to incorporate the information from dynamic knowledge graphs for time series prediction. We show that if the information contained in the graph and the time series data are closely related, then this inter-dependence can be used to predict the time series with improved accuracy. Our framework, DArtNet, learns a static embedding for every node in the graph as well as a dynamic embedding which is dependent on the dynamic attribute value (time-series). Then it captures the information from the neighborhood by taking a relation specific mean and encodes the history information using RNN. We jointly train the model link prediction and attribute prediction. We evaluate our method on five specially curated datasets for this problem and show a consistent improvement in time series prediction results. We release the data and code of model DArtNet for future research at https://github.com/INK-USC/DArtNet .

description: We have studied the single-electron transport spectrum of a quantum dot in GaAs/AlGaAs resonant tunneling device. The measured spectrum has irregularities indicating a broken circular symmetry. We model the system with an external potential consisting of a parabolic confinement and a negatively charged Coulombic impurity placed in the vicinity of the quantum dot. The model leads to a good agreement between the calculated single-electron eigenenergies and the experimental spectrum. Furthermore, we use the spin-density-functional theory to study the energies and angular momenta when the system contains many interacting electrons. In the high magnetic field regime the increasing electron number is shown to reduce the distortion induced by the impurity.

description: Genus Acantharctus n. gen.
 TYPE SPECIES. — Scyllarus ornatus Holthuis, 1960 by present designation.
 OTHER SPECIES. — So far only two species are known besides the type species: the West African Acantharctus posteli (Forest, 1963) and the eastern Pacific A. delfini (Bouvier, 1909) n. comb.
 ETYMOLOGY. — From akantha (Greek, latinized to acanthus), thorn, in reference to the sharp median thorn on the last segment of the thoracic sternum; and Arctus De Haan, 1849, a junior synonym of Scyllarus Fabricius, 1775.
DIAGNOSIS. — Carapace with rostral, pregastric, gastric and cardiac teeth; the pregastric tooth very small, smaller than any of the other teeth, sometimes hardly visible; the rostral tooth may be small, rather like a tubercle, or absent.
The abdomen has a distinct arborescent pattern of narrow grooves; the lobulated median figure is raised and forms a low median elevation, which on somites II to IV is of about equal height. The fourth antennal segment bears a single oblique carina, no additional carinae or rows of tubercles are present. The dactylus of P.2 is longer than that of the other legs. P.2 to P.5 are slender and do not have the propodus broadened. There is no pubescence on the lower margin of any of the segments. The anterior margin of the thoracic sternum is rather widely U-shapedly incised and may show an indistinct tubercle on either side of the medi- an incision. The last segment of the thoracic sternum shows in both sexes a strong median thorn.

description: It is of interest to understand whether or not one can construct a classical field theory description of early cosmology which would be free of the initial singularity and stable throughout the whole evolution. One of the known possibilities is genesis within the Horndeski theory, which is thought to be an alternative to or a possible completion of the inflationary scenario. In this model, the strong coupling energy scale tends to zero in the asymptotic past, $t \to - \infty$, making the model potentially intractable. We point out that despite the latter property, the classical setup may be trustworthy since the energy scale of the classical evolution (the inverse of its timescale) also vanishes as $t \to -\infty$. In the framework of a concrete model belonging to the Horndeski class, we show that the strong coupling energy scale of the cubic interactions vastly exceeds the classical energy scale in a certain range of parameters, indicating that the classical description is possible.

description: We study the dipole moments, electric dipole moment, weak electric dipole moment, anomalous magnetic moment, anomalous weak magnetic moment, of fermions in the noncommutative extension of the SM. We observe that the noncommutative effects are among the possible candidates to explain the electric and weak electric dipole moment of fermions. Furthermore, the upper bounds for the parameters which carry space-time and space-space noncommutativity can be obtained by using the theoretical and experimental results of the fermion dipole moments.

description: The Kelvin-Helmholtz cooling epoch, lasting tens of seconds after the birth of a neutron star in a successful core-collapse supernova, is accompanied by a neutrino-driven wind. For magnetar-strength ($\sim10^{15}$ G) large scale surface magnetic fields, this outflow is magnetically-dominated during the entire cooling epoch.Because the strong magnetic field forces the wind to co-rotate with the protoneutron star,this outflow can significantly effect the neutron star's early angular momentum evolution, as in analogous models of stellar winds (e.g. Weber & Davis 1967). If the rotational energy is large in comparison with the supernova energy and the spindown timescale is short with respect to the time required for the supernova shockwave to traverse the stellar progenitor, the energy extracted may modify the supernova shock dynamics significantly. This effect is capable of producing hyper-energetic supernovae and, in some cases, provides conditions favorable for gamma ray bursts. We estimate spindown timescales for magnetized, rotating protoneutron stars and construct steady-state models of neutrino-magnetocentrifugally driven winds. We find that if magnetars are born rapidly rotating, with initial spin periods ($P$) of $\sim1$ millisecond, that of order $10^{51}-10^{52}$ erg of rotational energy can be extracted in $\sim10$ seconds. If magnetars are born slowly rotating ($P\gtrsim10$ ms) they can spin down to periods of $\sim1$ second on the Kelvin-Helmholtz timescale.

description: Previous research has explored whether a commodity's own-futures price could be used to improve the prediction of its delivery-date spot prices. An additional perspective is whether prices from various futures contracts (both own as well as other commodity and financial) could be used to improve predictions of day-to-day spot prices. Time series models (which could have been implemented by cash-market participants over the observation period) were used to make one- to ten-step-ahead post-sample forecasts of daily spot prices for Texas-Oklahoma slaughter cattle. A model relying on both cash and nearby own-futures price information was shown to significantly improve predictions of daily spot prices over those predictions made by a model relying on a nonfutures (cash) information set.

description: Let $\|x\|$ denote the distance from $x\in\mathbb{R}$ to the nearest integer. In this paper, we prove an existence and density statement for matrices $\boldsymbol{A}\in\mathbb{R}^{m\times n}$ satisfying $$\liminf_{|\boldsymbol{q}|_{\infty}\to +\infty}\prod_{j=1}^{n}\max\{1,|q_{j}|\}\log\left(\prod_{j=1}^{n}\max\{1,|q_{j}|\}\right)^{m+n-1}\prod_{i=1}^{m}\|A_{i}\boldsymbol{q}\|>0,$$ where the vector $\boldsymbol{q}$ ranges in $\mathbb{Z}^{n}$ and $A_{i}$ are the rows of the matrix $\boldsymbol{A}$. This result extends a previous result of Moshchevitin for $2$-dimensional vectors to arbitrary dimension. The estimates needed to apply Moshchevitin's method to the case $m>2$ are not currently available. We therefore develop a substantially different method, that allows us to overcome this issue. We also generalise this existence result to the inhomogeneous setting. Matrices with the above property appear to have a very small sum of reciprocals of fractional parts. This fact helps us to shed light on a question raised by Lê and Vaaler, thereby proving some new estimates for such sums in higher dimension.

description: Psychiatric disorders represent common comorbidities in epileptic patients. Sometimes anxiety is part of the ictal semiology, especially during seizures arising from/involving frontal or temporal lobes. We describe a patient with focal epilepsy and recurrent hyperkinetic seizures who also presented prolonged episodes characterized by massive anxiety, alarm and fear. A Video-Electroencephalographic monitoring performed during one of these attacks revealed a continuous epileptiform activity over the right frontal regions, consistent with a focal non-convulsive status epilepticus accounting for the patient’s psychiatric symptoms. Our case confirms the complex relationship between epilepsy and anxiety. A review of the literature is also included.

Insight into the effect of morphology on catalytic performance of porous CeO2 nanocrystals for H2S selective oxidation
Creators: name: Zheng, Xiaohai
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2020
Subjects: Environmental Chemistry

description: Shape-specific CeO2 nanocrystals (rods, cubes, spheres and nanoparticles) with well-defined crystal facets and hierarchically porous structure were successfully synthesized and used as model catalysts to study the structure-dependent behavior and reaction mechanism for H2S selective oxidation over ceria-based catalysts. It is deduced that the defect sites and base properties of CeO2 are intrinsically determined by the surface crystal facets. Among the nanocrystals, CeO2 nanorods with well-defined {110} and {100} crystal facets exhibits superb catalytic activity and sulfur selectivity. The high reactivity for H2S selective oxidation is attributed to the high concentration of surface oxygen vacancies which are beneficial for the conversion of lattice oxygen to active oxygen species. Besides, the presence of hierarchically porous structure of CeO2 nanorods hinders the formation of SO2 and sulfate, ensuring good sulfur selectivity and catalyst stability. Through a combined approach of density-functional theory (DFT) calculations and in situ DRIFTS investigation, the plausible reaction mechanism and nature of active sites for H2S selective oxidation over CeO2 catalysts have been revealed.

description: The recently developed fixed point algorithms have provided the possibility of applying advanced numerical computation procedures in a broad field of economics. In particular, the pioneer work of Scarf [4,5], has shown its importance in the computation of economic equilibria. Moreover, Eaves [3] has succeeded in constructing an algorithm based more or less on the same principles as used by Scarf but providing in general a more efficient way in computing fixed points. Therefore his algorithm may be preferred especially in its application to rather extensive problems. This paper deals with the formulation of Eaves' method such that with a minimum of storage and computation time his algorithm may be prepared for the computer. The algorithm as described i [3] can substantially be improved by reformulating the replacement step and by the application of an efficient inverse routine developed by Bartels [1] on the pivot step. A very concise introduction to fixed point algorithms is given in section 2, where the basic thoughts behind this methods are pictured, omitting for the sake of legibility the mathematical justifications. For those who are interested in the latter aspect we refer to the original publications. In section 3 Eaves' method is considered with an explanation of the replacement step in section 3.1 and its reformulation in section 3.2. Sections 3.3 and 3.4 are dealing with the pivot step and the labeling respectively, while in section 4 a complete FORTRAN computer nrncyra.m of the algorithm is given.

description: Nataf's theorem on consistent aggregation of micro-relationships - reqUiring separability - is reconsidered with a view to: (a) streamlining the derivation of the theorem beyond the stage carried through by Green; (b) relaxing some of the conditions formerly required for that purpose, in particular the differentiability of the functions; (c) generalizing the originally "single-output", two-dimensional aggregation theorem to multiple outputs and to three (and more) dimensions.

description: The students within Applied Science 262 were given several choices for their projects relating to the new SUB building. We were tasked with further researching irrigation systems that can be used for the rooftop gardens. We were to conduct a triple bottom-line analysis for the different irrigation systems that could be used and compare the results and determine what would be the best choice to use for the rooftop garden for the new SUB. With the idea of attaining LEED platinum in mind our decisions were based more off of the environmental and social aspects of our triple bottom line analysis. It is our recommendation that Sub-surface Drip Irrigation (SDI) be used for the crop area of the new SUB roof top garden. Container gardening and the Greenhouse due to their smaller size should be watered by hand or through the use of high efficiency sprinkler systems. We also that further analysis of using multiple types of irrigation systems for the garden be done. Within the limited time frame of the course we were unable to fully investigate the possibility of multiple systems.

description: We study the expansion history of the universe up to a redshift of z=1.75 using the 194 recently published SnIa data by Tonry et. al. and Barris et. al. In particular we find the best fit forms of several cosmological models and $H(z)$ ansatze, determine the best fit values of their parameters and rank them according to increasing value of $χ_{min}^2$ (the minimum value of $χ^2$ for each $H(z)$ ansatz). We use a prior of $Ω_{0m} = 0.3$ and assume flat geometry of the universe. No prior assumptions are made about validity of energy conditions. The fitted models are fourteen and include SCDM, LCDM, dark energy with constant equation of state parameter $w$ (quiessence), third order polynomial for $H(1+z)$, Chaplygin gas, Cardassian model, $w(z)=w_0 + w_1 z$, $w(z)=w_0 + z w_1/(1+z)$, an oscillating ansatz for $H(z)$ etc. All these models with the exception of SCDM are consistent with the present data. However, the quality of the fit differs significantly among them and so do the predicted forms of $w(z)$ and $H(z)$ at best fit. The worst fit among the data-consistent models considered corresponds to the simplest model LCDM ($χ_{min}^2 = 198.7$ for $Ω_{0m} = 0.34$) while the best fit is achieved by the three parameter oscillating ansatz ($χ_{min}^2 = 194.1$). Most of the best fit ansatze have an equation of state parameter $w(z)$ that varies between $w(z) \simeq -1$ for $z<0.5$ to $w(z) > 0$ for $z>1$. This implies that the sign of the pressure of the dark energy may be alternating as the redshift increases. The goodness of fit of the oscillating $H(z)$ ansatz lends further support to this possibility.

description: General relativity reproduces main current cosmological observations, assuming the validity of cosmic distance duality relation (CDDR) at all scales and epochs. However, CDDR is poorly tested in the redshift interval between the farthest observed Type Ia supernovae (SN Ia) and that of the Cosmic Microwave background (CMB). We present a new idea of testing the validity of CDDR, through the multiple measurements of high-redshift quasars. Luminosity distances are derived from the relation between the UV and X-ray luminosities of quasars, while angular diameter distances are obtained from the compact structure in radio quasars. This will create a valuable opportunity where two different cosmological distances from the same kind of objects at high redshifts are compared. Our constraints are more stringent than other currently available results based on different observational data and show no evidence for the deviation from CDDR at $z\sim 3$. Such accurate model-independent test of fundamental cosmological principles can become a milestone in precision cosmology.

description: We study intersecting D-branes in a type IIB plane wave background using Green-Schwarz worldsheet formulation. We consider all possible $D_\pm$-branes intersecting at angles in the plane wave background and identify their residual supersymmetries. We find, in particular, that $D_\mp - D_\pm$ brane intersections preserve no supersymmetry. We also present the explicit worldsheet expressions of conserved supercharges and their supersymmetry algebras.

Three-Point Functions in N=4 SYM Theory at One-Loop

description: We analyze the one-loop correction to the three-point function coefficient of scalar primary operators in N=4 SYM theory. By applying constraints from the superconformal symmetry, we demonstrate that the type of Feynman diagrams that contribute depends on the choice of renormalization scheme. In the planar limit, explicit expressions for the correction are interpreted in terms of the hamiltonians of the associated integrable closed and open spin chains. This suggests that at least at one-loop, the planar conformal field theory is integrable with the anomalous dimensions and OPE coefficients both obtainable from integrable spin chain calculations. We also connect the planar results with similar structures found in closed string field theory.

An investigation into new SUB rooftop garden irrigations systems

description: The objective of this report is to assess a variety of irrigation systems and make an informed recommendation to the committee responsible for implementing the new Student Union Building rooftop garden at UBC. While reviewing this paper, the reader should take note that the water source and its availability were not included within the scope of research. It was assumed that access to a reliable supply of potable water would not be an issue. The following three systems (1) Drip Tape, (2) Sub-irrigation and (3) Conventional sprinklers were analyzed extensively using a triple-bottom line assessment. This evaluation process consisted of examining the ramifications of all possible economic, environmental and social issues. The result is that water consumption, recyclability and durability or life expectancy emerged as critical features to compare. While each system had their own strengths and weaknesses, it was determined that a conventional sprinkler system would both meet the crop watering demands and, if installed correctly, serve as a worthy demonstration piece on sustainability.

Genuine Dilatons in Gauge Theories

description: A genuine dilaton $σ$ allows scales to exist even in the limit of exact conformal invariance. In gauge theories, these may occur at an infrared fixed point (IRFP) $α_{\text{IR}}$ through dimensional transmutation. These large scales at $α_{\text{IR}}$ can be separated from small scales produced by $θ^μ_μ$, the trace of the energy-momentum tensor. For quantum chromodynamics (QCD), the conformal limit can be combined with chiral $SU(3) \times SU(3)$ symmetry to produce chiral-scale perturbation theory $χ$PT$_σ$, with $f_0(500)$ as the dilaton. The technicolor (TC) analogue of this is crawling TC: at low energies, the gauge coupling $α$ goes directly to (but does not walk past) $α_{\text{IR}}$, and the massless dilaton at $α_{\text{IR}}$ corresponds to a light Higgs boson at $α\lesssim α_{\text{IR}}$. It is suggested that the $W^\pm$ and $Z^0$ bosons set the scale of the Higgs boson mass. Unlike crawling TC, in walking TC, $θ^μ_μ$ produces $all$ scales, large and small, so it is hard to argue that its ``dilatonic'' candidate for the Higgs boson is not heavy.

ON REDUNDANCY IN SYSTEMS OF LINEAR INEQUALITIES

description: In this paper the concept of redundancy in systems of linear inequalities is established from the existence of the minimal inequality representation of a system of linear constraints. It is shown that absence of redundancy is a necessary and sufficient condition for having a minimal inequality representation of the system; then a minimal inequality representation can be obtained by deleting redundant constraints. Furthermore a general method to determine redundancy is developed; this method is based on the simplex method and is greatly inspired by Gal [2]. A number of known methods can be shown to be simplified variants of this method. Finally the equivalence, in terms of complexity theory, of the problem of determining redundancy and the general linear programming problem, is proved. From this a class of problems is indicated, for which it may be fruitful to determine redundancy.
