description: Wind erosion contributes significantly to particulate air pollution in some regions of the Western United States. As a result, wind erosion imposes damages on households in the form of increased interior and exterior cleaning, reduced recreational opportunities, and impaired health. Costs are difficult to estimate because of limited data availability. However, damages appear to be much larger offsite than onsite.

description: In many braneworld models, gravity is largely modified at the electro-weak scale ~ 1TeV. In such models, primordial black holes (PBHs) with lunar mass M ~ 10^{-7}M_sun might have been produced when the temperature of the universe was at ~ 1TeV. If a significant fraction of the dark halo of our galaxy consists of these lunar mass PBHs, a huge number of BH binaries will exist in our neighborhood. Third generation detectors such as EURO can detect gravitational waves from these binaries, and can also determine their chirp mass. With a new detector designed to be sensitive at high frequency bands greater than 1 kHz, the existence of extradimensions could be confirmed.

description: The Gaia spacecraft presents an unprecedented opportunity to reveal the population of long period (a>1\,au) exoplanets orbiting stars across the H-R diagram, including white dwarfs. White dwarf planetary systems have played an important role in the study of planetary compositions, from their unique ability to provide bulk elemental abundances of planetary material in their atmospheres. Yet, very little is known about the population of planets around white dwarfs. This paper predicts the population of planets that Gaia will detect around white dwarfs, evolved from known planets orbiting main-sequence stars. We predict that Gaia will detect $8\pm2$ planets around white dwarfs: $8\pm\,3\%$ will lie inside 3\,au and $40\pm10\,\%$ will be less massive than Jupiter. As surviving planets likely become dynamically detached from their outer systems, those white dwarfs with Gaia detected planets may not have planetary material in their atmospheres. Comparison between the predicted planet population and that found by Gaia will reveal the importance of dynamical instabilities and scattering of planets after the main-sequence, as well as whether photoevaporation removes the envelopes of gas giants during their giant branch evolution.

A Likely Inclination Dependence in the Non-linear Variability of Quasi Periodic Oscillations from Black Hole Binaries

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: We present a systematic analysis of the effects of orbital inclination angle on the non-linear variability properties of type-B and type-C QPOs from black hole binaries. We use the bicoherence, a measure of phase coupling at different Fourier frequencies for our analysis. We find that there is a likely inclination dependent change in the non-linear properties of type-C QPOs as the source transitions from a hard intermediate state to a soft intermediate state. High inclination (edge-on) sources show a change from a `web' to a `cross' pattern, while the low inclination (face-on) sources show a change from a `web' to a `hypotenuse' pattern. We present a scenario of a moderate increase in the optical depth of the Comptonising region as a possible explanation of these effects. The bicoherence of type-B QPOs do not exhibit any measurable inclination dependence.

description: 6ector autore ression models are used to forecast five meat and fish Consumer Price Indexes.J A price markup model is employed as the underlying model specification. Two different approaches are used to estimate the models. The ability of each model to produce reliable forecasts was tested by means of three forecast simulations. Theil's U2 coefficient, root mean square errors, and turning point accuracy are used to evaluate the forecasting results. The analysis suggests that the estimated equations are useful for forecasts made one quarter into the future.

description: One of the central challenges to establishing the role of mergers in galaxy evolution is the selection of pure and complete merger samples in observations. In particular, while large and reasonably pure interacting galaxy pair samples can be obtained with relative ease via spectroscopic criteria, automated selection of post-coalescence merger remnants is restricted to the physical characteristics of remnants alone. Furthermore, such selection has predominantly focused on imaging data -- whereas kinematic data may offer a complimentary basis for identifying merger remnants. Therefore, we examine the theoretical utility of both the morphological and kinematic features of merger remnants in distinguishing galaxy merger remnants from other galaxies. Deep classification models are calibrated and evaluated using idealized synthetic images and line-of-sight stellar velocity maps of a heterogeneous population of galaxies and merger remnants from the TNG100 cosmological hydrodynamical simulation. We show that even idealized stellar kinematic data has limited utility compared to imaging and under-performs by $2.1\%\pm0.5\%$ in completeness and $4.7\%\pm0.4\%$ in purity for our fiducial model architecture. Combining imaging and stellar kinematics offers a small boost in completeness (by $1.8\%\pm0.4\%$, compared to $92.7\%\pm0.2\%$ from imaging alone) but no change in purity ($0.1\%\pm0.3\%$ improvement compared to $92.7\%\pm0.2\%$, evaluated with equal numbers of merger remnant and non-remnant control galaxies). Classification accuracy of all models is particularly sensitive to physical companions at separations $\lesssim40$ kpc and to time-since-coalescence. Taken together, our results show that the stellar kinematic data has little to offer in compliment to imaging for merger remnant identification in a heterogeneous galaxy population.

description: We present a microscopic analysis of the quantum solvation structures of para-H$_2$ around the OCS molecule when embedded in low temperature $^4$He droplets. The structures of clusters containing M=5 and 6 para-H$_2$ molecules are compared with corresponding structures for M=1 (OCS-H$_2$ complex) and M=17 (a full solvation shell), as well as with the clusters in the absence of helium. We find that the helium has negligible effect on the structures for the small and large OCS(H$_2$)$_M$ clusters, but that it modifies the cluster structure for M=6. We discuss implications of these results for the onset of superfluidity in the solvating hydrogen shell and for spectroscopic measurements.

description: We show there exist smooth asymptotically anti-de Sitter initial data which evolve to a big crunch singularity in a low energy supergravity limit of string theory. This opens up the possibility of using the dual conformal field theory to obtain a fully quantum description of the cosmological singularity. A preliminary study of this dual theory suggests that the big crunch is an endpoint of evolution even in the full string theory. We also show that any theory with scalar solitons must have negative energy solutions. The results presented here clarify our earlier work on cosmic censorship violation in N=8 supergravity.

description: We generate translationally invariant systems exhibiting many-body localization from All-Bands- Flat single particle lattice Hamiltonians dressed with suitable short-range many-body interactions. This phenomenon - dubbed Many-Body Flatband Localization (MBFBL) - is based on symmetries of both single particle and interaction terms in the Hamiltonian, and it holds for any interaction strength. We propose a generator of MBFBL Hamiltonians which covers both interacting bosons and fermions for arbitrary lattice dimensions, and we provide explicit examples of MBFBL models in one and two lattice dimensions. We also explicitly construct an extensive set of local integrals of motion for MBFBL models. Our results can be further generalized to long-range interactions as well as to systems lacking translational invariance.

description: Introduction: Cyclists account for a large share of injured road users in traffic. The crash data analysis for cyclist safety and protection should be based on a representative dataset of real-world crashes. This manuscript aimed to explore the patterns of cyclists’ fractures and factors associated with fractures of higher severity. Methods: This paper exemplifies a methodology that combines injuries from a crash database, including both hospital and police reports and fracture registry database from orthopedic centers nationally in Sweden. Results: Car occupants were most frequently involved in crashes resulting in fractures (37%), followed by motorcyclists (27.6%) and bicyclists (15.4%). Common fracture locations differed by the type of road user, where cyclists were more frequently fractured in the lower arm, compared to other road users, such as car drivers, motorcyclists and pedestrians who suffered mostly of fractures in the lower leg. Within cyclists, injuries also differed by gender, suggesting that combination of different countermeasures may be needed in order to provide sufficient protection for all cyclist. In the analyzed data, male cyclists with an average age of 49 were the most frequently fractured cyclists. Fractures of cyclists to the acetabulum (100%), pelvis (84.2%), vertebra (75%) and tibia (70.3%) were most frequently high energy fractures. Single bicycle incidents (OR = 0.165) and collisions with another bicycle (OR = 0.148) were significantly less likely to result in a high energy fracture than a collision with a car. Conclusions: The results of this study may guide the design of appropriate protective devices for the cyclists based on the different injury mechanisms and provide implications for prioritizing new countermeasures, campaigns, or regulations.
Building bridges with parents : partners in early language and literacy development
Creators: name: Wilson, Patricia
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Families have such an important role to play in supporting and influencing their children's learning. The activities in which families are involved, and the environments that families create together are very meaningful and significant. For parents of children enrolled in Early French Immersion who have limited or no experience with the language of instruction, previously assumed roles may help to create a sense of anxiety and concern as to how they will be able to help their child be successful. The focus of this paper is to explore how the classroom teacher can help support the role of parents of young children with their second language and literacy learning. One very important way to do this is to invite families into the "community of learners" (Rogoff, 1994, p. 209) that is the Kindergarten classLiteracy, and explores features of effective Family Literacy programs, focusing on three models of family involvement from around the world : Parents as Literacy Supporters, an Urban First-Grade literacy Program, and Reggio Emilia. Themes that are discussed include building trusting, collaborative and reciprocal relations, developing awareness of the multiple pathways to literacy, respecting families as "funds of knowledge" (Moll, Amanti, Neff & Gonzalez, 1992, p. 133) using a child's first language as a purposeful resource in learning an additional language, and encouraging investment in the "Imagined Community" (Norton, 2010). The story of a family literacy program developed in a French Immersion Kindergarten context - "Jouons" - is shared, and practical suggestions and recommendations are made.

description: We measure homogeneous distances to M31 and 38 associated stellar systems ($-$16.8$\le M_V \le$ $-$6.0), using time-series observations of RR Lyrae stars taken as part of the Hubble Space Telescope Treasury Survey of M31 Satellites. From $>700$ orbits of new/archival ACS imaging, we identify $>4700$ RR Lyrae stars and determine their periods and mean magnitudes to a typical precision of 0.01 days and 0.04 mag. Based on Period-Wesenheit-Metallicity relationships consistent with the Gaia eDR3 distance scale, we uniformly measure heliocentric and M31-centric distances to a typical precision of $\sim20$ kpc (3%) and $\sim10$ kpc (8%), respectively. We revise the 3D structure of the M31 galactic ecosystem and: (i) confirm a highly anisotropic spatial distribution such that $\sim80$% of M31's satellites reside on the near side of M31; this feature is not easily explained by observational effects; (ii) affirm the thin (rms $7-23$ kpc) planar "arc" of satellites that comprises roughly half (15) of the galaxies within 300 kpc from M31; (iii) reassess physical proximity of notable associations such as the NGC 147/185 pair and M33/AND XXII; and (iv) illustrate challenges in tip-of-the-red-giant branch distances for galaxies with $M_V > -9.5$, which can be biased by up to 35%. We emphasize the importance of RR Lyrae for accurate distances to faint galaxies that should be discovered by upcoming facilities (e.g., Rubin Observatory). We provide updated luminosities and sizes for our sample. Our distances will serve as the basis for future investigation of the star formation and orbital histories of the entire known M31 satellite system.

description: This article introduces an algorithm to compute the persistent homology of a filtered complex with various coefficient fields in a single matrix reduction. The algorithm is output-sensitive in the total number of distinct persistent homological features in the diagrams for the different coefficient fields. This computation allows us to infer the prime divisors of the torsion coefficients of the integral homology groups of the topological space at any scale, hence furnishing a more informative description of topology than persistence in a single coefficient field. We provide theoretical complexity analysis as well as detailed experimental results. The code is part of the Gudhi software library.

description: Africa's high consumption variation has resulted in severe food shortages and famine during drought years. This was caused by low and variable food production not supplemented by commercial and food aid imports. Results of a model estimated in this report suggest that weather is the primary determinant of production variation. The capacity to import, defined as the sum of net credit flow plus export earnings, is the variable that best determines levels of food imports. Using the model results, additional food aid needs were projected for 1990 and 1995 under three scenarios--trend, good weather, and bad weather. The range of these needs varied widely, depending on a country's degree of responsiveness to changes in weather. Under the bad weather scenario, all but one country studied are projected to have additional food aid needs in 1990, with food aid contributing almost 25 percent to target consumption.

description: I study the very recently discovered S=-2 resonance Xi--(1886) by the NA49 collaboration at the CERN SPS. This resonance was already predicted, with a mass close to 1.9 GeV, in a recent publication mostly dedicated to the S=1 resonance Theta+(1540). To confirm this recent prediction, I apply the same standard quark model with a quark-antiquark annihilation constrained by chiral symmetry. This method also explained with success the repulsive hard core of nucleon-nucleon, kaon-nucleon exotic scattering, and the short range attraction present in pion-nucleon and pion-pion non-exotic scattering. I find that repulsion excludes the Xi-- as a dd ss u/bar s-wave pentaquark. I explore the Xi-- as a heptaquark, equivalent to a N+K+K linear molecule, with positive parity and total isospin I=3/2. I find that the kaon-kaon repulsion is cancelled by the attraction existing in the kaon-nucleon channels. In our framework this state is easier to bind than the Theta+ described by a pi+K+N borromean bound-state. The remaining I=1/2 doublet and I=1 triplet of the exotic anti-decuplet are also studied, and the coupling to p-wave decay channels is briefly addressed.

description: Scanning and filtering over multi-dimensional tables are key operations in modern analytical database engines. To optimize the performance of these operations, databases often create clustered indexes over a single dimension or multi-dimensional indexes such as R-trees, or use complex sort orders (e.g., Z-ordering). However, these schemes are often hard to tune and their performance is inconsistent across different datasets and queries. In this paper, we introduce Flood, a multi-dimensional in-memory index that automatically adapts itself to a particular dataset and workload by jointly optimizing the index structure and data storage. Flood achieves up to three orders of magnitude faster performance for range scans with predicates than state-of-the-art multi-dimensional indexes or sort orders on real-world datasets and workloads. Our work serves as a building block towards an end-to-end learned database system.

description: Modern microscopy techniques are developing towards high-resolution imaging, and tremendous progress has been made in past decades; however, the imaging of individual biological macromolecules at atomic resolution using short-wavelength radiation such as electrons or X-rays has not yet been achieved. The construction of free-electron lasers in many countries around the world arises from the desire to develop new imaging techniques by employing coherent radiation to image individual macromolecules. This work deals with coherent imaging and related phase retrieval techniques, with an emphasis on their application in the imaging of individual biological macromolecules.

description: Thailand is the world's leading exporter of rice and a major exporter of other agricultural products. Government involvement in Thai rice markets has recently been characterized by a shift from net taxation to support, although at relatively low levels. Rice export taxes and input subsidies can be quantified using the producer subsidy equivalent (PSE), an aggregate measure of government intervention. Reducing government support, as measured by the PSE, could be accomplished by charging for irrigation or reimposing export taxation. The latter alternative would increase government intervention while lowering the PSE value.

description: Employment was disrupted for some workers in a nine-county nonmetro area in south-central Kentucky during a period of rapid employment growth. Married women's employment stability was less than that of married men. Household responsibilities caused disruptions in married women's employment to a greater extent than in married men's. Married workers experienced more employment stability than did single workers. Workers changing jobs had less stable employment than those holding only one job from January 1, 1974, to December 31, 1979. Disruptions in employment stability seem to be a natural process within any dynamic economy.

description: Participants in the 1982 commodity support programs for wheat, feed grains, cotton, and rice (the program commodities) received only 38 percent of the benefits of these programs in 1982. Most of the program benefits went to nonparticipants, because all producers of program commodities shared in the $15.1-billion income increase arising from program-induced market price increases. The participants' benefit per farm was more than double that of nonparticipants, however. About 78 percent of benefits from the programs went to the 27 percent of all farms that were in the $40,000 to $499,999 sales class. This report, based mainly on 1982 Census of Agriculture data, looks at the 1982 and 1986 commodity programs, and the characteristics of program beneficiaries.

description: First, we review a result in our previous paper, of how a ten-dimensional superparticle, taken off-shell, has a hidden eleven-dimensional superPoincare symmetry. Then, we show that the physical sector is defined by three first-class constraints which preserve the full eleven-dimensional symmetry. Applying the same concepts to the eleven dimensional superparticle, taken off-shell, we discover a hidden twelve dimensional superPoincare symmetry that governs the theory.

description: We revisit the problem of calculating the quasinormal modes of spin $0$, $1/2$, $1$, $3/2$, $2$, and spin $5/2$ fields in the asymptotically flat Schwarzschild black hole spacetime. Our aim is to investigate the problem from the numerical point of view, by comparing some numerical methods available in the literature and still not applied for solving the eigenvalue problems arising from the perturbation equations in the Schwarzschild black hole spacetime. We focus on the pseudo-spectral and the asymptotic iteration methods. These numerical methods are tested against the available results in the literature, and confronting the precision between each other. Besides testing the different numerical methods, we calculate higher overtones quasinormal frequencies for all the investigated perturbation fields in comparison with the known results. In particular, we obtain purely imaginary frequencies for spin $1/2$ and $3/2$ fields that are in agreement with analytic results reported previously in the literature. The purely imaginary frequencies for the spin $1/2$ field are exactly the same as the frequencies obtained for the spin $3/2$ field. In turn, the quasinormal frequencies for the spin $5/2$ perturbation field are calculated for the very first time, and purely imaginary frequencies are found also in this case. We conclude that both methods provide accurate results and they complement each other.

description: Effective space traffic management requires positive identification of artificial satellites. Current methods for extracting object identification from observed data require spatially resolved imagery which limits identification to objects in low earth orbits. Most artificial satellites, however, operate in geostationary orbits at distances which prohibit ground based observatories from resolving spatial information. This paper demonstrates an object identification solution leveraging modified residual convolutional neural networks to map distance-invariant spectroscopic data to object identity. We report classification accuracies exceeding 80% for a simulated 64-class satellite problem--even in the case of satellites undergoing constant, random re-orientation. An astronomical observing campaign driven by these results returned accuracies of 72% for a nine-class problem with an average of 100 examples per class, performing as expected from simulation. We demonstrate the application of variational Bayesian inference by dropout, stochastic weight averaging (SWA), and SWA-focused deep ensembling to measure classification uncertainties--critical components in space traffic management where routine decisions risk expensive space assets and carry geopolitical consequences.

description: The Multi-Blade is a Boron-10-based neutron detector designed for neutron reflectometers and developed for the two instruments (Estia and FREIA) planned for the European Spallation Source in Sweden. A reflectometry demonstrator has been installed at the AMOR reflectometer at the Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI - Switzerland). The setup exploits the Selene guide concept and it can be considered a scaled-down demonstrator of Estia. The results of these tests are discussed. It will be shown how the characteristics of the Multi-Blade detector are features that allow the focusing reflectometry operation mode. Additionally the performance of the Multi-Blade, in terms of rate capability, exceeds current state-of-the-art technology. The improvements with respect to the previous prototypes are also highlighted; from background considerations to the linear and angular uniformity response of the detector.

description: Our paper gives bounds for the rate of convergence for a class of random walks on the d-dimensional torus generated by a set of n vectors in R^d/Z^d. We give bounds on the discrepancy distance from Haar measure; our lower bound holds for all such walks, and if the generators arise from the rows of a "badly approximable" matrix, then there is a corresponding upper bound. The bounds are sharp for walks on the circle.

description: Metalenses are attracting a large interest for the implementation of complex optical functionalities in planar and compact devices. However, chromatic and off-axis aberrations remain standing challenges. Here, we experimentally investigate the broadband behavior of metalenses based on quadratic phase profiles. We show that these metalenses do not only guarantee an arbitrarily large field of view but are also inherently tolerant to longitudinal and transverse chromatic aberrations. As such, we demonstrate a single-layer, silicon metalens with a field of view of 86° and a bandwidth up to 140 nm operating at both 1300 nm and 1550 nm telecommunication wavelength bands.
Automatic Aerostructural Analysis and Aerodynamic Optimization for Collaborative Aircraft Design Process
Creators: name: Mandorino, M.
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020
Subjects: Master Thesis

description: Analysis of scenario Overall aircraft design is multidisciplinary by nature, it means that results coming from multidisciplinary analysis can greatly improve the final design and reduce the time cost of the design cycle. In addition, a significant improvement can be reached if high-fidelity methods are included in this kind of analysis, especially when unconventional configuration need to be considered. However, several limitations do not allow the possibility to get the benefits of high-fidelity applications during early design phases. The main thesis motivation is to illustrate how it is possible to obtain detailed design analysis in reasonable time and with appropriate accuracy, taking into consideration the coupling between aerodynamic and structural properties. The thesis is the result of a collaboration between the DAF group of the University of Naples “Federico II” and the research group of DLR institute of Hamburg in which the candidate has completed an internship within the AGILE 4.0 project. Statement of the problem The work concerns computational fluid dynamic and structural coupled analysis performed through automated Python-based workflows. The tools employed are open-source or provided by partners. Therefore, an appropriate connection and data transfer among modules must be provided, complying with each tool or partner requirements. The implemented workflows provide aerodynamic analysis and optimization, aero-structural analysis at different flow conditions and centralized data format geometry update. Adopted methodology The automated aero-structural process developed is based on the DLR centralized data format CPACS. It defines the aircraft geometry and configuration and allows information sharing during the process. Pointwise and SU2 are employed respectively for mesh generation and computational aerodynamic analysis. LA-GRANGE tool provides linear structural analyses. All modules are Python-based and connected to each other through RCE. SLSQP optimizer, adjoint, moving last square and FFD methods are employed. Main results Flexible and robust automatic workflows are implemented in a distributed design environment (RCE), provided by DLR. The input and output of the process are provided through CPACS format file. The workflows allow gradient-based shape optimization of a generic aircraft component and aero-structural analysis performed at different flow conditions. The output shape geometry is supplied through CPACS format file. An application on a UAV configuration is performed:mesh sensitivity analysis, aerodynamic constrained wing shape optimization in transonic flow condition, aero-elastic shape deformation in cruise condition and flexible polar analysis are carried out to demonstrate the workflow capabilities.
