description: The `braneworld' (described by the usual worldvolume action) is a D dimensional timelike surface embedded in a N dimensional ($N>D$) warped, nonfactorisable spacetime. We first address the conditions on the warp factor required to have an extremal flat brane in a five dimensional background. Subsequently, we deal with normal deformations of such extremal branes. The ensuing Jacobi equations are analysed to obtain the stability condition. It turns out that to have a stable brane, the warp factor should have a minimum at the location of the brane in the given background spacetime. To illustrate our results we explicitly check the extremality and stability criteria for a few known co-dimension one braneworld models. Generalisations of the above formalism for the cases of (i) curved branes (ii) asymmetrical warping and (iii) higher co-dimension braneworlds are then presented alongwith some typical examples for each. Finally, we summarize our results and provide perspectives for future work along these lines.

description: A residual demand model for beef exports to Japan is specified and estimated. The objective is to estimate the extent of market power. It is assumed that each exporting country faces a downward-sloping residual demand curve, which reflects the market demand minus the supplies of competitors, and that exporters maximize profit through their output decisions. The analysis is disaggregated by beef cut and form to capture the variation by beef market segments. The results indicate that the highest markup of price over marginal cost belongs to U.S. frozen ribs, the only indication of market power by U.S. exporters. Canada is found to have limited market power, whereas Australia and New Zealand enjoy some market power, including five chilled beef categories.

description: We review the results from the various hydrodynamical and transport models on the collective flow observables from AGS to RHIC energies. A critical discussion of the present status of the CERN experiments on hadron collective flow is given. We emphasize the importance of the flow excitation function from 1 to 50 A$\cdot$GeV: here the hydrodynamic model has predicted the collapse of the $v_1$-flow and of the $v_2$-flow at $\sim 10$ A$\cdot$GeV; at 40 A$\cdot$GeV it has been recently observed by the NA49 collaboration. Since hadronic rescattering models predict much larger flow than observed at this energy we interpret this observation as evidence for a first order phase transition at high baryon density $ρ_B$. Moreover, the connection of the elliptic flow $v_2$ to jet suppression is examined. It is proven experimentally that the collective flow is not faked by minijet fragmentation. Additionally, detailed transport studies show that the away-side jet suppression can only partially ($

Primordial pollution of globular clusters within their host dwarfs embedded in dark matter halos at high redshifts

Year: 2005

description: Recent observational studies have revealed star-to-star abundance inhomogeneity among light elements (e.g., C, N, O, Na, and Al) of stars on the main sequence in the Galactic globular clusters (GCs). One of promising interpretations for this result is that the observed abundance inhomogeneity is due to the second generation of stars formed from ejecta of the first generation of evolved stars (e.g., AGB stars) within GCs. However it remains unclear whether and how this primordial pollution can occur within GCs. We here propose a new scenario in which primordial pollution of GCs is highly likely to occur if GCs are located in the central regions of high redshift dark matter subhalos that can host low-mass dwarf galaxies. In this scenario, gas ejected from the first generation of stars of GCs can be effectively trapped in the deep gravitational potential of their host halos and consequently can be consumed for the formation of the second generation of stars without losing a significant amount of gas by ram pressure stripping of interstellar and intergalactic medium. During merging of these halos with the proto-Galaxy, the halos are completely destroyed owing to the strong tidal field of the Galaxy. The self-polluted GCs located initially in the central regions of the halos can survive from tidal destruction owing to their compactness and finally become the Galactic halo GCs. In this scenario, ejecta of field stars surrounding the central GCs can be also converted into stars within their host dwarfs and finally become the second generation of stars of GCs. We also discuss the origin of the difference in the degree of abundance inhomogeneity between different GCs, such as $ω$ Centauri and NGC 6752, in terms of the difference in physical properties between host halos from which GC originate.

description: We study the relation between the recently defined localizable entanglement and generalized correlations in quantum spin systems. Differently from the current belief, the localizable entanglement is always given by the average of a generalized string. Using symmetry arguments we show that in most spin 1/2 and spin 1 systems the localizable entanglement reduces to the spin-spin or string correlations, respectively. We prove that a general class of spin 1 systems, which includes the Heisenberg model, can be used as perfect quantum channel. These conclusions are obtained in analytic form and confirm some results found previously on numerical grounds.

Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Experiment (nucl-ex)

description: The PHOBOS apparatus includes a charged particle multiplicity detector covering almost all of 4pi in solid angle. The broad coverage in pseudorapidity, $η$, which is unique at RHIC, combined with the ability to collect a large sample of events with minimal bias, makes possible a study of correlations and fluctuations over most of the pseudorapidity range, even at the highest beam energy. Long range correlations, short range correlations at large |eta|, event-by-event fluctuations in the total number of charged particles, and event-by-event variation in the full shape of the pseudorapidity distribution can all be studied. Preliminary results for the first exploration of these capabilities of the PHOBOS detector, along with some average properties of the pseudorapidity distributions, are presented.

description: Probit analysis identified factors that influence the adoption of precision farming technologies by Southeastern cotton farmers. Younger, more educated farmer who operated larger farms and were optimistic about the future of precision farming were most likely to adopt site-specific information technology. The probability of adopting variable-rate input application technology was higher for younger farmers who operated larger farms, owned more of the land they farmed, were more informed about the costs and benefits of precision farming, and were optimistic about the future of precision farming. Computer use was not important, possibly because custom hiring shifts the burden of computer use to agribusiness firms.

description: Regulatory changes by federal and state agencies portend a switch from nitrogen-based livestock manure disposal policies to phosphorus-based policies. This paper estimates the compliance costs of such a policy change for a hypothetical hog-grain farm in North Central Indiana. The farm includes 1,500 acres of cropland and has the capacity to raise 11,970 grow-finish hogs annually. The farm model also as the potential to produce four different crops on six different land types. A nonlinear math-programming model was developed to determine the optimal mix of management activities for a phosphorus-based regulation. The model allows mitigation of compliance costs via the choice between four different pig diets, three alternative methods of manure disposal, changes in timing of manure application, and crop pattern adjustments. This analysis concludes that the new regulation will result in a decrease in whole-farm returns above variable costs, the use of phytase enzyme in pig diets, and an increase in wheat acreage. The model also reveals that it is optimal for the farmer to hire a custom hauler to assist in application of manure in an effort to reduce the degree to which available field days constrain farming activities and land application of manure. The estimated cost to the farmer, as a result of the policy change, ranges between $0.56 and $21.74 per unit of pig production capacity.

description: We explore the consequences of including the repulsive three-particle interaction in the model of Bose-Einstein condensate dark matter model or fuzzy dark matter. Such a model based on properly modified Gross-Pitaevskii equation is intended to describe the distribution of dark matter particles in the highly dense regions, which correspond to the galaxy core and/or to the overlap of colliding galaxies. Specifically, we deal with the $ϕ^6$-model in terms of the macroscopic wave function of the condensate, where a locality of interaction is guaranteed by a large correlation length assumed to hold. After calculation of main thermodynamical characteristics, we find strong evidence of the existence of two distinct phases of dark matter, within its core, separated by the instability region lying between two differing special values of the pressure acting in the model. Some implications stemming from the existence of two phases and the related first-order phase transition are discussed.

description: Statistical properties of the scrape-off layer (SOL) plasma fluctuations are studied in ohmically heated plasmas in the Alcator C-Mod tokamak. For the first time, plasma fluctuations as well as parameters that describe the fluctuations are compared across measurements from a mirror Langmuir probe (MLP) and from gas-puff imaging (GPI) that sample the same plasma discharge. This comparison is complemented by an analysis of line emission time-series data, synthesized from the MLP electron density and temperature measurements. The fluctuations observed by the MLP and GPI typically display relative fluctuation amplitudes of order unity together with positively skewed and flattened probability density functions. Such data time series are well described by an established stochastic framework which model the data as a superposition of uncorrelated, two-sided exponential pulses. The most important parameter of the process is the intermittency parameter, γ = τd / τw where τd denotes the duration time of a single pulse and τw gives the average waiting time between consecutive pulses. Here we show, using a new deconvolution method, that these parameters can be consistently estimated from different statistics of the data. We also show that the statistical properties of the data sampled by the MLP and GPI diagnostic are very similar. Finally, a comparison of the GPI signal to the synthetic line-emission time series suggests that the measured emission intensity can not be explained solely by a simplified model which neglects neutral particle dynamics.
Una nueva ideologia y su poetica : la genesis de la novela espanola en la Baja Edad Media
Creators: name: Minic-Vidovic, Ranka
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Following Mikhail Bakhtin, this dissertation studies the novel in the late Middle Ages, one of "those eras when the novel becomes the dominant genre" (Dialogic 5). It analyses a body of works written between c.1300 and 1513, namely "Libro del caballero Zifar", "Amadis de Gaula", "Siervo litre de amor", and "Cárcel de amor". The analysis adopts dialectical and historical materialism as its critical method. The theoretical framework of the dissertation is Norbert Elias' "The Civilizing Process", and it examines the pacification of Spanish medieval society through the development of individual forms of restraint in codes, such as the code of courtly love, which is the central theme of these novels. In addition to Elias' theory of the civilizing process, it employs Max Horkheimer and Theodor Adomo's concept of instrumental reason, Simone de Beauvoir"s concept of the woman as "the other" in Western civilization, and Pierre Bourdieu's study of social distinction. The dissertation concentrates on two interrelated subjects. First, it interprets this corpus against the background of a process of social, economic and political transformation, in which a highly hierarchical social structure was weakened and finally changed into one in which evaluations and personal identifications were no longer made according to the principle of caste as in the feudal system, but according to what would eventually become the value-system of the modem, bourgeois era. Taking into account Elias' theory of state formation, it analyses the resistances to the revolutionary role of the bourgeois class, as the authors of this new genre attempt to adjust their works to an emerging absolutist monarchy. The second subject is the rise of the novel as formal and substantial novelty. This new genre is focused on the emergent category of the individual as its main character and main addressee. The dissertation analyses the novels of chivalry and sentimental novels in contrast to the medieval Spanish epic. In the latter, the hero embodies the values of feudal society. In the novel, however, tales of the hero's exploits evolve around his individual concern: his love for a woman.
Long-term remnant evolution of compact binary mergers

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We investigate the long-term evolution and observability of remnants originating from the merger of compact binary systems and discuss the differences to supernova remnants. Compact binary mergers expel much smaller amounts of mass at much higher velocities, as compared to supernovae and therefore the free expansion phase of the remnant will be short (~ 1 - 10 yr). In general the remnants will be observable for a considerable time (~ 10^6 - 10^7 yr). Events releasing large amounts of kinetic energy may be responsible for a subsample of observed giant HI holes of unknown origin as compact binaries merge far away from star forming regions. If the ejecta consist primarily of actinides, on long timescales the expelled material will contain mainly the few quasi-stable nuclei in the actinides range. Consequently the abundance of each isotope in the ejecta might be of the order of a few percent. During their decay some actinides will produce observational signatures in form of gamma ray lines. We particularly investigate the gamma ray emission of Am 243, Cm 247, Cm 248 and Bi 208 and estimate their observability in nearby remnants. Detections of the gamma ray lines with INTEGRAL will be possible only in very advantageous cases but these remnants are promising targets for future instruments using focusing optics for soft gamma rays. Due to the low mass expelled in mergers and due to the lack of free electrons in the ejecta, the merger remnants might be significantly fainter in bremsstrahlung and synchrotron radiation than comparable supernova remnants. Hence merger remnants might represent a candidate for very recently discovered 'dark accelerators' which are hard gamma ray sources with no apparent emission in other bands.

description: The Average Crop Revenue Election (ACRE) program is a new, optional safety net for farmers provided by Congress in the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (commonly called the farm bill). Choosing this new safety net is not an obvious choice. Farmers who choose to elect this program also must accept a 20% reduction in direct payments and a 30% reduction in marketing assistance loan rates. In this paper, we describe the general provisions and calculations of the ACRE and counter-cyclical payment (CCP) programs and present our estimates of potential payments under the two programs. If prices are expected to remain at or above the ACRE price guarantee, CCP is the best choice since government payments are expected to be lower under the ACRE program—as shown in the first price scenario. However, if national market prices fall sufficiently, the ACRE program becomes the best choice since ACRE payments will be higher—as shown in the third price scenario. The national market price does not have to be much lower for ACRE to be the preferred choice—as shown for wheat-soybean farms in the third price scenario. It is essentially impossible to describe simple rules of thumb or breakeven prices to help farmers decide whether to sign up for ACRE or stay with CCP. This difficulty is due to several factors: the complexity of the program rules, the requirement to sign up all program crops on a farm, the potential government payment for only one crop even though direct payments and loan rates are cut for all crops, the uncertainty of future prices and yields, and the variation in how an individual farm’s yields vary in relationship to its State yields.

description: We study the emission of Hawking radiation in the form of scalar fields from a (4+n)-dimensional, rotating black hole on the brane. We perform a numerical analysis to solve both the radial and angular parts of the scalar field equation, and derive exact results for the radial wavefunction and angular eigenvalues, respectively. We then determine the Hawking radiation energy emission rate, and find that, as the angular momentum increases, it is suppressed in the low-energy regime but enhanced in the intermediate and high-energy regimes. Our results agree with previous analytical studies, derived in the low-angular momentum and low-energy approximation, and generalize them to include angular momentum and energy regimes that were until now unexplored. We also investigate the energy amplification due to super-radiance and we find that, in the presence of extra dimensions, the effect is significantly enhanced.

description: By using suitably improved surface integrals, we give a unified geometric derivation of the generalized Smarr relation for higher dimensional Kerr black holes which is valid both in flat and in anti-de Sitter backgrounds. The improvement of the surface integrals, which allows one to use them simultaneously at infinity and on the horizon, consists in integrating them along a path in solution space. Path independence of the improved charges is discussed and explicitly proved for the higher dimensional Kerr AdS black holes. It is also shown that the charges for these black holes can be correctly computed from the standard Hamiltonian or Lagrangian surface integrals.

description: An analysis of socio-economic driving forces in crop protection is proposed to improve the implementation of sustainable strategies. The analysis includes : (1) a classification of agricultural systems based on pesticide use intensity and safety, (2) an evaluation of the profitability of farming systems and identification of socio-economic factors that influence pesticide use and (3) formulation of policy recommendations. We find that for cereals and for fruit trees alike, crop yields are much higher for agricultural systems with high doses of pesticides. The safety of applied pesticides does not affect crop protection costs significantly. For cropping systems characterised by low-intensity in pesticide use, the application of safer products has a positive effect on reduction of crop protection costs.
Corruption in Indian Politics: Roots, Impacts, and Mitigation Strategies
Creators: name: Dr Kalpana Bhardwaj
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2014

description: Corruption in Indian politics remains a formidable challenge, deeply entrenched within the socio-political landscape and exerting widespread ramifications. This research paper comprehensively examines the historical roots, multifaceted impacts, mitigation strategies, challenges, and successful case studies associated with political corruption in India. Drawing on historical analyses, statistical data, and qualitative research, the paper navigates through the socio-economic factors, governance structures, cultural dimensions, and international implications of corruption.  It critically evaluates successful mitigation efforts in select Indian states and highlights the formidable challenges hindering the implementation of anti-corruption reforms. The paper concludes by advocating for a cohesive and multi-dimensional approach involving legal reforms, institutional strengthening, public awareness, and societal transformation in the relentless fight against corruption in Indian politics.

description: (a) Replicate phenotypic assessment of clinical strains and their cured derivatives on solid medium. Conditions are as in Fig. 1. (b) Phenotyping of the clinical strains and their cured derivatives in liquid medium. All strains were first inoculated in YPD and grown to OD600 ~1.0. Five hundredfold dilutions were used as an inoculum to assess cell growth in different stresses (all drugs were supplemented in YPD at the concentrations indicated) in 96-well microplates. Cell growth was monitored by taking OD600 measurements every 10 minutes for over 30 hours and growth rates were calculated by fit to an exponential growth equation (N = N0ekt). The means of eight biological replicates are shown, with error bars denoting standard error.

description: We propose a three-step procedure to estimate a regime-dependent vector error correction model (VECM). In this model, not only the short-run adjustment process towards equilibrium is non-linear, as in threshold VECM and Markov switching VECM frameworks, but the long-run equilibrium relationship itself can also display threshold-type non-linearity. The proposed approach is unique in explicitly testing the null hypothesis of linear cointegration against the alternative of threshold cointegration based on the Gonzalo AND PITARAKIS (2006) test. The model is applied to apple price data on wholesale markets in Hamburg and Munich, using the share of domestic apples in total wholesale trade as the threshold variable. We identify four price transmission regimes characterized by different equilibrium relationships and short-run adjustment processes. This proposed approach is particularly suitable for capturing irregular seasonal threshold effects in price transmission typical for fresh fruits and vegetables.

description: The static Casimir effect concerns quantum electrodynamic induced Lamb shifts in the mode frequencies and thermal free energies of condensed matter systems. Sometimes, the condensed matter constitutes the boundaries of a vacuum region. The static frequency shift effects have been calculated in the one photon loop perturbation theory approximation. The dynamic Casimir effect concerns two photon radiation processes arising from time dependent frequency modulations again computed in the one photon loop approximation. Under certain conditions the one photon loop computation may become unstable and higher order terms must be invoked to achieve stable solutions. This stability calculation is discussed for a simple example dynamical Casimir effect system.

description: Market integration of Finland toward EU has important implication to domestic agricultural policy. Our aim is to estimate the characteristics of the Finnish pork markets in relation to Germany. Our analysis use symmetric and asymmetric threshold error correction models. Pork prices are found cointegrated, and cointegration relationship of two counties is found asymmetric. A large positive shock in Germany is transmitted faster to Finland than a large negative one. It implies that a combination of cooperative processors and public quoted companies as in Finland, can smooth out some of the short term price fluctuations observed abroad.

description: We present a large deviation analysis of a recently proposed probabilistic approach to the study of the ground-state properties of lattice quantum systems. The ground-state energy, as well as the correlation functions in the ground state, are exactly determined as a series expansion in the cumulants of the multiplicities of the potential and hopping energies assumed by the system during its long-time evolution. Once these cumulants are known, even at a finite order, our approach provides the ground state analytically as a function of the Hamiltonian parameters. A scenario of possible applications of this analyticity property is discussed.

description: Limited water resources are increasingly constrained by growing water demand for agricultural, industrial, and domestic uses, which in turn exacerbates environmental degradation and water-quality problems. This research report develops and applies a comprehensive decision-support tool for examining these issues at the river-basin level—the natural unit of analysis for water allocation and use. Authors Ximing Cai, Claudia Ringler, and Mark Rosegrant develop an integrated hydrologic– economic river-basin model, simulating water flows, salinity balances, and crop growth under water-allocation scenarios. One of the main advantages of the model is its ability to reflect the dynamic interactions of essential hydrologic, agronomic, and economic components and to explore both the economic and environmental consequences of a wide variety of policy choices. Illustrating this, the authors use the framework to examine a variety of water-allocation mechanisms and policy options for the Maipo River Basin in Chile. The method developed here is relevant for other water economies and water-scarce river basins. The study also presents, for the first time, a practical application of the highly complex and changing relationship between system- and basin-level irrigation efficiencies, with important implications for water-related investments. Finally, the report studies the role of economic incentives in substituting scarce water resources for other farm-level crop inputs. It is hoped that this model will assist water management authorities and policymakers in choosing appropriate water policies and establishing reform priorities for water resource allocation.
