title: Laboratory measurements of realistic space-aged surfaces and the development of a Monte Carlo simulation to model radiative transfer in a passively cooled space telescope
Creators: name: Sullivan, Mark
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2001

description: I investigate the effects of bombardment upon the surface properties, and subsequently the equilibrium temperatures of, the telescope’s components.

Extensive directional measurements have been made of the surface properties of gold samples at two wavelengths (0.633μm and 10.6μm), with both vertically and horizontally polarised radiation and at ambient temperature and ~80K.

 Apart from pristine planar gold samples, an extensive program of two types of hypervelocity bombardment was used to simulate micrometeorite impact degradation of space-aged surfaces in order to investigate the effects of long-term exposure to space.

Laboratory efficiency was enhanced with the development and semi-automation of the measurement process.

Careful modelling of radiation exchange in a telescope system with respect to direction, wavelength and temperature has given a clearer view of the behaviour of surfaces within a spacecraft configuration and offers insight into advantageous design.

 The main conclusions are as follows.

 1. For an initially specular surface to develop a significant diffuse component, exposure to bombardment in space might have to exceed about 10 yrs.

 2. When a significant diffuse component develops, the effect on telescope temperature could be significant, and also the effect on which part of a heatshield is dominant in the heat exchange.

 3. The telescope temperature is sensitive to spacecraft geometry and very sensitive to conduction between heatshield and telescope.

description: "The purpose of numerical models is not numbers but insight." (Hamming) In the spirit of this adage, and of Don Cox's approach to scientific speaking, we discuss the questions that the latest generation of numerical models of the interstellar medium raise, at least for us. The energy source for the interstellar turbulence is still under discussion. We review the argument for supernovae dominating in star forming regions. Magnetorotational instability has been suggested as a way of coupling disk shear to the turbulent flow. Models make evident that the unstable wavelengths are very long compared to thermally unstable wavelengths, with implications for star formation in the outer galaxy and low surface brightness disks. The perennial question of the factors determining the hot gas filling factor in a SN-driven medium remains open, in particular because of the unexpectedly strong turbulent mixing at the boundaries of hot cavities seen in the models. The formation of molecular clouds in the turbulent flow is also poorly understood. Dense regions suitable for cloud formation clearly form even in the absence of self-gravity, although their ultimate evolution remains to be computed.

description: La posibilidad de una promoción de Bogotá como escenario de cultura está anclada a un férreo imaginario, que, en otro tiempo, vinculaba a la ciudad como la Atenas Suramericana. Esta representación de la ciudad de Bogotá como ciudad culta, se fortaleció con la presencia de gramáticos, poetas y filólogos, junto con las referencias al uso del mejor castellano por parte de algunos representantes del interior del país como Miguel Antonio Caro y Rufino José Cuervo. Con la imagen de una Bogotá culta, se abre la posibilidad de la reivindicación de un pasado cargado de experiencia histórica y literaria bajo una oferta de bienes y servicios culturales de la ciudad. El objetivo de esta ponencia, es la puesta en valor de la Bogotá de los años treinta y cuarenta en relación con la vida de Gabriel García Márquez. Los atractivos turísticos culturales que se involucran alrededor de la vida del nobel en Bogotá en su faceta de escritor en formación, involucra un recorrido por esa ciudad gris y bohemia, que alrededor de la poesía de León de Greiff y la vida de los cafés, permitieron a diferentes escritores de provincia, consolidarse como escritores.

description: The study analyzes the impacts of agricultural trade liberalization on cropland use dynamics, focusing not only on the total amount of cropland area, but also on the spatial allocation among regions. With an agro-economic dynamic optimization model, the study is able to analyze the leakage effects resulted from trade liberalization as well as climate impacts on crop yields, by using crop yields simulation output from a vegetation model based on different climate models. In the scenario of high-end climate impacts on crop yields, although trade liberalization mitigates the negative impacts of climate impacts on agricultural supply and spares the land resource on the global scale, it further deteriorates the virtual trade of cropland among regions. The absolute amount of total cropland imbalance will increase by 272.2 million hectares at the end of the twenty-fist century. Latin America and China are the main exporters of cropland relate to food production, while Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia are the regions of exporting cropland. By considering climate projection uncertainty, the study finds that the general trend of cropland displacement remains, although there exists a wide range for the amount of traded cropland in Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia and Latin America.

description: Transportation is important for tobacco production in the mountain area in China. Agricultural cooperatives have been established to provide transportation services. In this paper, we assess whether receiving transportation services from agricultural cooperatives affect the technical efficiency of tobacco producers, using 346 household data from Guizhou Province, China. The results show that receiving transportation services result in an increase in household income of tobacco planting by 143.7% or 291.4% or 300.6% with different estimation approaches. Moreover, we also find that inclusion of membership can enhance the impact of transportation on household income. We conclude that agricultural cooperatives should be encouraged to better transportation and rural infrastructures. Acknowledgement : We are grateful for comments from Pro.

description: This study, directed by the Food Security Act of 1985, examines the supply of and demand for imported casein in the United States and the effects on the dairy price support program of possible actions to limit imports. A 50-percent quota (based on average 1981-85 imports) would cause casein prices to rise to a price equivalent to nonfat dry milk, replacing much casein with soy, whey, and other proteins. It would raise ingredient costs of cheese analogs to about the level of natural cheese and perhaps, replace some analogs with natural or processed cheese. A 50-percent tariff would raise casein prices and shift many users to soy, whey, or other ingredients, but not reduce CCC costs.

description: Import demand and export supply elasticities for grains, soybeans, and cotton for the Western Hemisphere countries studied suggest that neither imports nor exports will be very responsive in the medium run (2-3 years) to a reduction in U.S. commodity prices stemming from the Farm Security Act of 1985, because domestic and trade policies insulate domestic prices from changes in world prices. Import demand for feed grains and soybeans is generally more responsive to price declines than food grains. Factors other than price are often more important in influencing import decisions. But policies can change quickly, especially in many Latin American countries; a period of sustained lower U.S. prices may elicit policy changes in the long run that make import demand more responsive to lower prices.

description: There are various methods for extracting iso-surfaces from volumetric data. Marching cubes or tetrahedra or raytracing methods are mostly used. There are many specific techniques to increase speed of computation and decrease memory requirements. Although a precision of iso-surface extraction is very important, too, it is not mentioned usually. A comparison of the selected methods was made in different aspects: iso-surface extraction process time, number of triangles generated and estimation of radius, area and volume errors based on approximation of a sphere. Surprisingly, experiments proved that there is no direct relation between precision of extracted and human perception of the extracted iso-surface

description: In this paper we consider nonlinear interaction between gravitational and electromagnetic waves in a strongly magnetized plasma. More specifically, we investigate the propagation of gravitational waves with the direction of propagation perpendicular to a background magnetic field, and the coupling to compressional Alfvén waves. The gravitational waves are considered in the high frequency limit and the plasma is modelled by a multifluid description. We make a self-consistent, weakly nonlinear analysis of the Einstein-Maxwell system and derive a wave equation for the coupled gravitational and electromagnetic wave modes. A WKB-approximation is then applied and as a result we obtain the nonlinear Schrödinger equation for the slowly varying wave amplitudes. The analysis is extended to 3D wave pulses, and we discuss the applications to radiation generated from pulsar binary mergers. It turns out that the electromagnetic radiation from a binary merger should experience a focusing effect, that in principle could be detected.

description: The cell cycle is tightly regulated by cyclins and their catalytic moieties, the cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs). Cyclin D1, in association with CDK4/6, acts as a mitogenic sensor and integrates extracellular mitogenic signals and cell cycle progression. When deregulated (overexpressed, accumulated, inappropriately located), cyclin D1 becomes an oncogene and is recognized as a driver of solid tumors and hemopathies. Recent studies on the oncogenic roles of cyclin D1 reported non-canonical functions dependent on the partners of cyclin D1 and its location within tumor cells or tissues. Support for these new functions was provided by various mouse models of oncogenesis. Finally, proteomic and transcriptomic data identified complex cyclin D1 networks. This review focuses on these aspects of cyclin D1 pathophysiology, which may be crucial for targeted therapy.

Immunoscore® is an in vitro diagnostic assay that is designed to predict the risk of relapse in patients with early-stage colon cancer, thus helping to guide treatment strategies. Immunoscore has CE-IVD status in the EU, is CLIA certified in the USA, and is commercially available in many other countries worldwide. It is designed to be used in conjunction with TNM staging. Immunoscore uses digital images of tumour samples and advanced software to quantify the densities of CD3+ and CD8+ lymphocytes in defined regions of the tumour (i.e. core tumour and the invasive margin). A risk score is calculated, with a lower Immunoscore (i.e. lower densities) corresponding to a higher risk of recurrence. In an international, retrospective, validation study led by the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC), Immunoscore was found to be robust, reproducible, quantitative and standardized, providing a reliable estimate of the risk of recurrence. The clinical utility of Immunoscore has been validated in the SITC-led study and in several supportive studies in which Immunoscore predicted survival, optimal treatment duration and relapse in patients with colon cancer.© Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020

description: We present new multi-configuration HI aperture synthesis imaging of the nearby dwarf starburst galaxy NGC 625 obtained with the Australia Telescope Compact Array. Total HI column density images show gas well-aligned with the optical major axis, and low-column density HI extending to > 6 optical scale lengths. The HI velocity field, on the other hand, is highly disturbed, with neutral gas at nearly all detected velocities within the central region. After considering various interpretations, we find that a blowout scenario most accurately describes the data. Since at our resolution we do not detect any large evacuated holes in the HI disk, we interpret this blowout to be the result of the extended (both spatially and temporally) star formation event which NGC 625 has undergone in the last 100 Myr. This is one of the clearest examples of HI outflow detected in a dwarf galaxy. We find no obvious external trigger for this extended star formation event. We detect strong radio continuum emission from the largest HII regions; comparing to our HST and ground-based H Alpha fluxes suggests either appreciable amounts of extinction toward the star formation regions, or the contribution of non-thermal sources to the radio continuum luminosity.

description: Agricultural economists are concerned with effects of domestic and foreign monetary events on U.S. agriculture. Much attention has recently focused on the theory of currency substitution. This report explains the theory and evaluates evidence for the theory. Results indicate that evidence for currency substitution is weak. Although the benefit of specifying currency substitution in the context of macroeconomic/agricultural trade models is not likely to be high, additional research for the period after 1981 is needed.

Our results provide quantitative account of the many-fold increase of the Curie temperatures with applied pressure and reproduce well the enhancement of the tendency toward ferromagnetic ordering across the series from telluride to oxide, including the crossover from antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic ordering under pressure in EuTe and EuSe. The first and second neighbor effective exchange are shown to follow different functional dependencies. Finally, model calculations indicate a significant contribution of virtual processes involving the unoccupied f states to the effective exchange.

description: State resale price regulation, the dominant form of State milk regulation over the years, may raise marketing costs and margins, but does not appear to stabilize retail milk prices. The effectiveness and impact of all types of State milk regulation are highly variable among States and depend largely on the degree of enforcement involved, an aspect of regulation difficult to document and quantify. Several once-common abuses in State regulation have now been proscribed by the courts or otherwise dropped. While the stated legislative objectives of much State regulation have been to ensure an adequate supply of wholesome milk at reasonable prices and to promote stability, the practical result appears to have been to raise income of in-State dairy interests at the expense of milk consumers and out-of-State milk producers and processors. State regulation of retail prices is now found in only five States following a long history of court and administrative actions either terminating State regulation or removing or modifying the unacceptable aspects of the remaining regulation. California (which until 1977 had regulated all prices) now regulates only producer prices. New York is the only State now requiring milk dealers to have territorial licenses. This county-basis licensing restricts both intra- and interstate milk distribution and is clearly an anomaly in 1986. Maine, Montana, Nevada, North Dakota, and Pennsylvania still regulate resale prices. About half of the States have lesser forms of regulation, such as price filing requirements, below-cost pricing limits, and trade practice regulations.

description: Intensive dairy farm operations have adversely affected water quality in the Conestoga Headwaters Rural Clean Waters Program (RCWP) project area of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. In this study, alternative dairy manurestorage/ application systems were evaluated, including their effects on net farm returns and losses of nitrogen and phosphorus. Net farm returns were nominally reduced when nitrogen losses were constrained to 90 percent of initial dailyspreading losses as a means of improving environmental quality. When nitrogen losses were further constrained to 70 and 50 percent of initial daily-spreading losses, net returns were reduced significantly. Alfalfa acreage increased and herd size decreased to meet these more severe constraints. Hauling manure 40 miles away from the farm for use elsewhere to meet the nitrogen constraint increased net returns. It is less costly to haul a dairy cow's manure 40 miles than to give up the additional revenue generated by that cow.
Optimizing Diffusion Rate and Label Reliability in a Graph-Based Semi-supervised Classifier

Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Machine Learning (cs.LG)

description: Semi-supervised learning has received attention from researchers, as it allows one to exploit the structure of unlabeled data to achieve competitive classification results with much fewer labels than supervised approaches. The Local and Global Consistency (LGC) algorithm is one of the most well-known graph-based semi-supervised (GSSL) classifiers. Notably, its solution can be written as a linear combination of the known labels. The coefficients of this linear combination depend on a parameter $\alpha$, determining the decay of the reward over time when reaching labeled vertices in a random walk. In this work, we discuss how removing the self-influence of a labeled instance may be beneficial, and how it relates to leave-one-out error. Moreover, we propose to minimize this leave-one-out loss with automatic differentiation. Within this framework, we propose methods to estimate label reliability and diffusion rate. Optimizing the diffusion rate is more efficiently accomplished with a spectral representation. Results show that the label reliability approach competes with robust L1-norm methods and that removing diagonal entries reduces the risk of overfitting and leads to suitable criteria for parameter selection.

The newly observed $Λ_b(6072)^0$ structure and its $ρ-$mode nonstrange partners

description: Inspired by the newly observed $Λ_b(6072)$ structure, we investigate its strong decay behaviors under various assignments within the $^3P_0$ model. Compared with the mass and total decay width, our results suggest that the $Λ_b(6072)$ can be regarded as the lowest $ρ-$mode excitation in $Λ_b$ family. Then, the strong decays of $ρ-$mode nonstrange partners for the $Λ_b(6072)$ are calculated. It is found that the $J^P=5/2^-$ $Λ_b$ and $Λ_c$ states are relatively narrow, and mainly decay into the $Σ_b^{(*)} π$ and $Σ_c^{(*)} π$ final states, respectively. These two states have good potentials to be observed in future experiments, which may help us to distinguish the three-quark model and diquark model.

Formulas for the dimensions of some affine Deligne-Lusztig Varieties

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Representation Theory (math.RT)

description: Rapoport and Kottwitz defined the affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties $X_{\tilde{w}}^P(bσ)$ of a quasisplit connected reductive group $G$ over $F = \mathbb{F}_q((t))$ for a parahoric subgroup $P$. They asked which pairs $(b, \tilde{w})$ give non-empty varieties, and in these cases what dimensions do these varieties have. This paper answers these questions for $P=I$ an Iwahori subgroup, in the cases $b=1$, $G=SL_2$, $SL_3$, $Sp_4$. This information is used to get a formula for the dimensions of the $X_{\tilde{w}}^K(σ)$ (all shown to be non-empty by Rapoport and Kottwitz) for the above $G$ that supports a general conjecture of Rapoport. Here $K$ is a special maximal compact subgroup.

description: After oil prices peaked and began to recede in 1981, U.S. oil and gas extraction employment declined, moderately in some States and severely in others. Oil prices declined gradually from 1981 through 1985 mainly because of reduced demand, but precipitously in early 1986 because of increased supply. Because both supply and demand changes are likely to be temporary, the future price of oil is expected to be higher. However, current indications suggest that energy price increases may be less violent and disruptive than those since the 1972-73 oil embargo.

Generalization of Perfect Electromagnetic Conductor (PEMC) Boundary

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Classical Physics (physics.class-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Certain classes of electromagnetic boundaries satisfying linear and local boundary conditions can be defined in terms of the dispersion equation of waves matched to the boundary. A single plane wave is matched to the boundary when it satisfies the boundary conditions identically. The wave vector of a matched wave is a solution of a dispersion equation characteristic to the boundary. The equation is of the second order, in general. Conditions for the boundary are studied under which the dispersion equation is reduced to one of the first order or to an identity, whence it is satisfied for any wave vector of the plane wave. It is shown that, boundaries associated to a dispersion equation of the first order, form a natural generalization of the class of perfect electromagnetic conductor (PEMC) boundaries. As a consequence, the novel class is labeled as that of generalized perfect electromagnetic conductor (GPEMC) boundaries. As another case, boundaries for which there is no dispersion equation (NDE) for the matched wave (because it is an identity) are labeled as NDE boundaries. They are shown to be special cases of GPEMC boundaries. Reflection of the general plane wave from the GPEMC boundary is considered and an analytic expression for the reflection dyadic is found. Some numerical examples on its application are presented for visualization.

On the rate of convergence of alternating minimization for non-smooth non-strongly convex optimization in Banach spaces
Creators: name: Both, Jakub Wiktor
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Optimization and Control (math.OC)
subject: FOS: Mathematics
subject: 90C25, 65K05

description: In this paper, the convergence of alternating minimization is established for non-smooth convex optimization in Banach spaces, and novel rates of convergence are provided. As objective function a composition of a smooth and a non-smooth part is considered with the latter being block-separable, e.g., corresponding to convex constraints or regularization. For the smooth part, three different relaxations of strong convexity are considered: (i) quasi-strong convexity; (ii) quadratic functional growth; and (iii) plain convexity. Linear convergence is established for the first two cases, generalizing and improving previous results for strongly convex problems; sublinear convergence is established for the third case, also improving previous results from the literature. All the convergence results have in common, that opposing to previous corresponding results for the general block coordinate descent, the performance of the alternating minimization is beneficially governed by properties of the single blocks, instead of global properties. Ultimately, not only the better conditioned block determines the performance, as has been similarly observed in the literature. But also the worse conditioned problem enhances the performance additionally, resulting in potentially significantly improved convergence rates. Furthermore, by solely using the convexity and smoothness properties of the problem, the results immediately apply in general Banach spaces.
