description: 2DEG states of Al/$δ$-GaAs structures were investigated in the persistent tunneling photoconductivity (PTPC) regime at low temperatures. "Thickening" of the unoccupied subbands to the ground state of 2DEG was observed at $T=4.2$~$K$. It was found that there is a uniform shift of the subband levels at $T=77$~$K$. The behavior of the persistent 2D states in tunneling spectra after various illumination and at different temperatures allows us to assume that there are two PTPC mechanisms, namely, the broadening of the potential well profile of the $δ$-layer and photoionization of the DX-centers.

description: The black-hole black-string system is known to exhibit critical dimensions and therefore it is interesting to vary the spacetime dimension $D$, treating it as a parameter of the system. We derive the large $D$ asymptotics of the critical, i.e. marginally stable, string following an earlier numerical analysis. For a background with an arbitrary compactification manifold we give an expression for the critical mass of a corresponding black brane. This expression is completely explicit for ${\bf T}^n$, the $n$ dimensional torus of an arbitrary shape. An indication is given that by employing a higher dimensional torus, rather than a single compact dimension, the total critical dimension above which the nature of the black-brane black-hole phase transition changes from sudden to smooth could be as low as $D\leq 11$.

description: We consider the accurate investigation of the energy current and its components, heat and work, in some boundary driven quantum spin systems. The expressions for the currents, as well as the associated Lindblad master equation, are obtained via a repeated interaction scheme. We consider small systems in order to analytically compute the steady distribution to study the current in the steady state. Asymmetrical XXZ and quantum Ising models are detailed analyzed. For the XXZ chain we present cases in which different compositions of heat and work currents, obtained via the repeated interaction protocol, lead to the same energy current, which may be obtained via the Lindblad master equation. For the quantum Ising chain, we describe a case of zero energy current and novanishing heat and work currents. Our findings make clear that to talk about heat in these boundary driven spin quantum systems we must go beyond an investigation involving only the Lindblad master equation.

An Ambiguous Statement Called 'Tetrad Postulate' and the Correct Field Equations Satisfied by the Tetrad Fields

description: The names tetrad, tetrads, cotetrads, have been used with many different meanings in the physical literature, not all of them, equivalent from the mathematical point of view. In this paper we introduce unambiguous definitions for each one of those terms, and show how the old miscellanea made many authors to introduce in their formalism an ambiguous statement called `tetrad postulate', which has been source of many misunderstandings, as we show explicitly examining examples found in the literature. Since formulating Einstein's field equations intrinsically in terms of cotetrad fields theta^{a}, a = 0,1,2,3 is an worth enterprise, we derive the equation of motion of each theta^{a} using modern mathematical tools (the Clifford bundle formalism and the theory of the square of the Dirac operator). Indeed, we identify (giving all details and theorems) from the square of the Dirac operator some noticeable mathematical objects, namely, the Ricci, Einstein, covariant D'Alembertian and the Hodge Laplacian operators, which permit to show that each theta^{a} satisfies a well defined wave equation. Also, we present for completeness a detailed derivation of the cotetrad wave equations from a variational principal. We compare the cotetrad wave equation satisfied by each theta^{a} with some others appearing in the literature, and which are unfortunately in error.

The structure of terror : cognitive and emotional processing of 9/11 newscasters
Creators: name: Jhangiani, Rajiv Sunil
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Transcripts of live news broadcasts on 9/11 from the United States, Canada, and Qatar were obtained and analysed for structure and content. Scores on key cognitive and affective dependent variables were juxtaposed on the timeline of the terrorist attacks. Results show remarkably consistent patterns of integrative complexity and emotional positivity, particularly among North American newscasters, which together provide support for the notion of "disruptive stress." Evidence was also found in support of terror management theory, in that death-related words were strongly positively related to anxiety and anger, this effect being moderated by psychological or ideological distance. Results are interpreted with reference to the cognitive manager model of integrative complexity, uncertainty and terror management. Limitations, implications and future directions are discussed.

description: The paper is dedicated to the relationship of data aggregation level and yield variability. For that purpose yields of the major crop plants in Poland are analysed i.e.: winter wheat, triticale, rye, barley, oat, mixed cereals, rape and sugar beet. The research are based on data from Polish FADN from years 2004 – 2009. The samples’ size ranged from 531 to 2893, depending on the plant crop. In the paper six levels of data aggregation are examined, that is: farm, district, powiat1, voivodship, region and country. It was found out that the degree of yield variability reduction (observed with data aggregation) is crop specific. Nevertheless, the relationship between aggregation level and yield variability can be approximated by the same formula for all of the investigated crop plants: ... , where MUA is the average production area in the administrative unite.

description: By quantitative low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) we investigate the extensively studied commensurate charge density wave (CDW) phase of trigonal tantalum disulphide (1T-TaS$_2$), which develops at low temperatures with a $\left(\sqrt{13}\times\sqrt{13}\right)$R13.9° periodicity. A full-dynamical analysis of the energy dependence of diffraction spot intensities reveals the entire crystallographic surface structure, i.e. the detailed atomic positions within the outermost two trilayers consisting of 78 atoms as well as the CDW stacking. The analysis is based on an unusually large data set consisting of spectra for 128 inequivalent beams taken in the energy range 20-250 eV and an excellent fit quality expressed by a bestfit Pendry R-factor of R=0.110. The LEED intensity analysis reveals that the well-accepted model of star-of-David-shaped clusters of Ta atoms for the bulk structure also holds for the outermost two TaS$_2$ trilayers. Specifically, in both layers the clusters of Ta atoms contract laterally by up to 0.25 $Å$ and also slightly rotate within the superstructure cell, causing respective distortions as well as heavy bucklings (up to 0.23 $Å$) in the adjacent sulphur layers. Most importantly, our analysis finds that the CDWs of the 1$^{\text{st}}$ and 2$^{\text{nd}}$ trilayer are vertically aligned, while there is a lateral shift of two units of the basic hexagonal lattice (6.71 $Å$) between the 2$^{\text{nd}}$ and 3$^{\text{rd}}$ trilayer. The results may contribute to a better understanding of the intricate electronic structure of the reference compound 1T-TaS$_2$ and guide the way to the analysis of complex structures in similar quantum materials.

description: The study intended to determine the producer (farm)-retail price transmission behavior in the South African poultry industry. At the heart of the study was to desire to establish whether there was symmetry or asymmetry in the price transmission. Using price data from 2000 to 2010 and employing both the Houck and Error Correction Model (ECM) approaches the study found that there was symmetry in the farm-retail price transmission of poultry in South Africa, where a change in farm price of chicken was observed to lead to a similar change in the retail price in South Africa. The price setting system in the poultry industry was further defined by estimating elasticities of price transmission and it was found that retail price is very sensitive to change in farm price, particularly falling prices.

description: The surface conductivity is measured by a four-probe technique for pentacene and rubrene single-crystals laminated on polarized and nearly unpolarized molecular monolayers with application of perpendicular electric fields. The polarization of the self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) shifts the threshold gate voltage, while maintaining a very low subthreshold swing of the single-crystal devices (0.11 V/decade). The results, excluding influences of parasitic contacts and grain boundaries, demonstrate SAM-induced nanoscale charge injection up to ~10^12 cm^-2 at the surface of the organic single crystals.

description: Scaling relations between the superconducting transition temperature $T_{\rm c}$, the superfluid stiffness $ρ_{\rm s}$ and the normal state conductivity $σ_0(T_{\rm c})$ are identified within the class of molecular superconductors. These new scaling properties hold as $T_{\rm c}$ varies over two orders of magnitude for materials with differing dimensionality and contrasting molecular structure, and are dramatically different from the equivalent scaling properties observed within the family of cuprate superconductors. These scaling relations place strong constraints on theories for molecular superconductivity.

description: This paper considers the role of covariates when using predicted probabilities to interpret main effects and interactions in logit models. While predicted probabilities are very intuitive for interpreting main effects and interactions, the pattern of results depends on the contribution of covariates. We introduce a concept called the covariate contribution, which reflects the aggregate contribution of all of the remaining predictors (covariates) in the model and a family of tools to help visualize the relationship between predictors and the predicted probabilities across a variety of covariate contributions. We believe this strategy and the accompanying tools can help researchers who wish to use predicted probabilities as an interpretive framework for logit models acquire and present a more comprehensive interpretation of their results. These visualization tools could be extended to other models (such as binary probit, multinomial logistic, ordinal logistic models, and other nonlinear models).

description: Industry 4.0 is a concept that assists companies in developing a modern supply chain (MSC) system when they are faced with a dynamic process. Because Industry 4.0 focuses on mobility and real-time integration, it is a good framework for a dynamic vehicle routing problem (DVRP). This research works on DVRP. The aim of this research is to minimize transportation cost without exceeding the capacity constraint of each vehicle while serving customer demands from a common depot. Meanwhile, new orders arrive at a specific time into the system while the vehicles are executing the delivery of existing orders. This paper presents a two-stage hybrid algorithm for solving the DVRP. In the first stage, construction algorithms are applied to develop the initial route. In the second stage, improvement algorithms are applied. Experimental results were designed for different sizes of problems. Analysis results show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

The analytical expression for the beams trajectories shift due to the mutual interaction is derived, and the range of parameters is given beyond which the mentioned consideration fails. We compare our results with the naive geometrical optics model. It is shown that these two approaches give the same results. This justifies the use of geometrical optics approach for description of elastic and almost-elastic collision processes both in Kerr and saturable nonlinear media.

An investigation of operating cost of airports : focus on the effects of output scale
Creators: name: Jeong, Jinha
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: In the air transport industry, airports play a key and active role as infrastructural providers, business partners, and economic enablers. With the projected robust growth in passenger and cargo traffic in the future, airports must expand to accommodate the increasing demand in traffic, which will invariably lead to increased operating and capital costs for airport operators. Some have argued that with expansion, airports will benefit from economies of scale, whereas others have suggested the opposite. Thus, the effect of increased airport output on costs remains controversial and not fully known. To date, there has been a paucity of studies that have directly assessed the potential impact of economies of scale in the airport industry. The few studies that have addressed this issue have had significant limitations in modeling cost functions with capital inputs. Additionally, these studies used different functional forms and airport sampling procedures, which may have contributed to the large discrepancy in the results. Moreover, these studies evaluated economies of scale by using partial view of passengers or Work Load Unit (WLU) rather than as an aggregated output index. Many of these previous studies also lacked sufficient statistical power to properly address this issue. The main objectives of this thesis are to: 1) determine whether economies of output scale are indeed present in the airport industry; 2) quantify the magnitude of the economies; and 3) determine the threshold size of airport at which the.economies change. To address these objectives, this analysis used data from 94 U.S. airports and employed translog cost functions and Variable Factor Productivity (VFP) in terms of passenger, WLU and output index. This study found that economies of output scale in the airport industry were present to a threshold output index of 0.7, which is equivalent to 2.5 million passengers or 3 million WLU. Beyond this threshold, the economies disappeared. The volume of international passengers had a significant positive impact on operating costs. Delays, cargo volume, contract-out costs, snowbelt, and financial management approaches, on the other hand, did not materially affect economies of airports.

description: Although multiple-response questions are quite common in survey research, Stata’s official release does not provide much capability for an effective analysis of multiple-response variables. For example, in a study on drug addiction an interview question might be, “Which substances did you consume during the last four weeks?” The respondents just list all the drugs they took, if any; e.g., an answer could be “cannabis, cocaine, heroin” or “ecstasy, cannabis” or “none”, etc. Usually, the responses to such questions are stored as a set of variables and, therefore, cannot be easily tabulated. I will address this issue here and present a new module to compute one- and two-way tables of multiple responses. The module supports several types of data structure, provides significance tests, and offers various options to control the computation and display of the results. In addition, tools to create graphs of multiple-response distributions are presented.

Chrysorthenches Dugdale, 1996: 34. Type species: Orthenches porphyritis Meyrick, 1886, by original designation.
Dugdale (1996) defined Chrysorthenches in relation to Orthenches and suggested the following apomorphies for the former genus: (1) in the male genitalia, the gnathos and socii absent; (2) the anellus as a spinulose sheath and often with strong apical thorns; (3) the vinculum plus saccus T-shaped; (4) the posterior margin of the saccus convex; (5) the male phallus uniformly cylindrical; (6) the male sternum VIII with a V-shaped lobe (Fig. 2G); (7) the male tergopleural lobe arising obliquely and fused dorsally (Fig. 2G, arrow); and (8) the larval abdominal segment VII with spiracle and seta SD1 on a common pinaculum or scobinate field.
Two additional characters: the presence of the antennal scape with pecten, but no awning, and the valva of the male genitalia with an outer tuft of specialized scales or setae distally, were suggested as apomorphies for Chrysorthenches by Dugdale (1996). These were excluded from this study as proposed from our cladistics analysis. With our additions, Chrysorthenches comprises 13 species in three species-groups.

description: The pseudo-spin model for double layer quantum Hall system with total landau level filling factor $ν=1$ is discussed. Unlike the "traditional" one where interlayer voltage enters as static magnetic field along pseudo- spin hard axis, in our model we consider applied interlayer voltage as a frequency of precessing pseudo-magnetic field lying into the easy plane. It is shown that a Landau-Lifshitz equation for the considered pseudo magnetic system well describes existing experimental data. Besides that, the mentioned model predicts novel directed intra-layer transport phenomenon in the system: unidirectional intra-layer energy transport is realized due to interlayer voltage induced motion of topological kinks. This effect could be observed experimentally detecting counter-propagating intra-layer inhomogeneous charge currents which are proportional to the interlayer voltage and total topological charge of the pseudo-spin system.

description: We report the discovery during the Parkes Multibeam Pulsar Survey of PSR J1756-2251, a 28.5 ms pulsar in a relativistic binary system. Subsequent timing observations showed the pulsar to have an orbital period of 7.67 hrs and an eccentricity of 0.18. They also revealed a significant advance of periastron, 2.585+/-0.002 deg./yr. Assuming this is entirely due to general relativity implies a total system mass (pulsar plus companion) of 2.574+/-0.003 solar mass. This mass and the significant orbital eccentricity suggest that this is a double neutron star system. Measurement of the gravitational redshift, gamma, and an evaluation of the Shapiro delay shape, s, indicate a low companion mass of <1.25 solar mass. The expected coalescence time due to emission of gravitational waves is only ~1.7 Gyr substantially less than a Hubble time. We note an apparent correlation between spin period and eccentricity for normally evolving double neutron star systems.

description: Third-party libraries are crucial to the development of software projects. To get suitable libraries, developers need to search through millions of libraries by filtering, evaluating, and comparing. The vast number of libraries places a barrier for programmers to locate appropriate ones. To help developers, researchers have proposed automated approaches to recommend libraries based on library usage pattern. However, these prior studies can not sufficiently match user requirements and suffer from cold-start problem. In this work, we would like to make recommendations based on requirement descriptions to avoid these problems. To this end, we propose a novel neural approach called Req2Lib which recommends libraries given descriptions of the project requirement. We use a Sequence-to-Sequence model to learn the library linked-usage information and semantic information of requirement descriptions in natural language. Besides, we apply a domain-specific pre-trained word2vec model for word embedding, which is trained over textual corpus from Stack Overflow posts. In the experiment, we train and evaluate the model with data from 5,625 java projects. Our preliminary evaluation demonstrates that Req2Lib can recommend libraries accurately.

description: Macrophages are part of the innate immune system playing an important role in intestinal inflammation, and amplify the inflammatory response through the activation of Th-1 cytokines including nitric oxide (NO). Macrophages become activated as a result of exposure to microbial product lipopolysaccaride (LPS) as well as interferon-γ from T cells. One of the aspects that attract researchers' interests most is the induction of inducible nitric oxide (iNOS) and increased NO production in these cells. PDK1 is a key enzyme in linking extracellular signals to multiple effector pathways. The mechanism by which LPS induces NO synthesis in murine macrophages is incompletely understood, and a role for PDK1 had not been previously investigated. In this study we demonstrate the involvement of PDK1 in the regulation of nitric oxide expression in LPS-stimulated Raw 264.7 macrophages. N-α-tosyl-L-phenylalanyl chloromethyl ketone (TPCK) was used as an inhibitor of PDK1 signaling. The inhibition of PDK1 by TPCK led to the suppression of NF-kB activity, iNOS expression and NO production. What's more, Raw 264.7 macrophages transiently transfected with a kinase-dead PDK1 construct also showed decreased NF-kB reporter activity, iNOS protein expression and NO production. To further confirm our findings, we also created a stable cell line by transducing the lentiviral vectors expressing kinase-dead PDK1 into Raw 264.7 macrophages. The NF-kB pathway and the NO production were suppressed too in response to LPS compared to normal Raw 264.7 cells. Therefore, our results show for the first time that PDK1 is involved in NO expression in LPS-stimulated Raw264.7 macrophages and that this is associated with attenuation of LPS-mediated activation of the NF-kB pathway.

description: We derive the effective N=1, D=4 supergravity for the seven main moduli of type IIA orientifolds with D6 branes, compactified on T^6/(Z_2xZ_2) in the presence of general fluxes. We illustrate and apply a general method that relates the N=1 effective Kahler potential and superpotential to a consistent truncation of gauged N=4 supergravity. We identify the correspondence between various admissible fluxes, N=4 gaugings and N=1 superpotential terms. We construct explicit examples with different features: in particular, new IIA no-scale models and a model which admits a supersymmetric AdS_4 vacuum with all seven main moduli stabilized.

description: The identification of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) leading to short-range attraction and oviposition of the European grapevine moth Lobesia botrana and European grape berry moth Eupoecilia ambiguella (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) is crucial in order to establish bait-based decision support systems for control of these pests. Therefore, we developed a method to measure the real-time behavioral response of female moths to VOCs using a four-chamber olfactometer coupled with a video tracking system. Ten synthetic VOCs were selected for this study: (S)-(−)-perillaldehyde, (E)/(Z)-linalool oxide, (±)-limonene, linalool, (E)-β-caryophyllene, α/β-farnesene, (−)-α-cedrene, methyl salicylate and cumene. The effect of VOCs on egg deposition was determined using a dual-choice oviposition test, whereas perception by female antennae was verified using electroantennography (EAG). During video tracking, females responded to volatile compounds emitted by grapevine with higher antennae and ovipositor activity than to air control. (E)/(Z)-linalool oxide, cumene and (S)-(−)-perillaldehyde released ovipositor activity of L. botrana, while the latter provoked oviposition. (R)/(S)-limonene affected ovipositor activity of E. ambiguella, whereas none of the VOCs tested attracted for oviposition. The results suggest that females have the ability to perceive specific VOCs by the antennae but also by the ovipositor, which could attract or repel for egg deposition.

description: With the decreasing cost and the increasing ability to quickly genotype single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) across the human genome, large databases containing possibly hundreds of typed SNPs are becoming common in population-based studies of quantitative traits. Testing for association between individual SNPs and the quantitative trait is an important first step in the discovery of disease susceptibility SNPs. This task, however, could be time-consuming and tedious if a large number of SNPs is involved. In this article, I introduce two new commands designed to facilitate the screening and testing of multiple SNPs for possible association with quantitative traits.

description: We present near-infrared H-, K-, L- and M-band photometry of the Galactic Center from images obtained at the ESO VLT in May and August 2002, using the NAOS/CONICA (H and K) and the ISAAC (L and M) instruments. The large field of view (70" x 70") of the ISAAC instrument and the large number of sources identified (L-M data for 541 sources) allows us to investigate colors, infrared excesses and extended dust emission. Our new L-band magnitude calibration reveals an offset to the traditionally used calibrations, which we attribute to the use of the variable star IRS7 as a flux calibrator. Together with new results on the extinction towards the Galactic Center (Scoville et al. 2003; Raab 2000), our magnitude calibration results in stellar color properties expected from standard stars and removes any necessity to modify the K-band extinction. The large number of sources for which we have obtained L-M colors allows us to measure the M-band extinction to A_M=(0.056+-0.006)A_V (approximately =A_L), a considerably higher value than what has so far been assumed. L-M color data has not been investigated previously, due to lack of useful M-band data. We find that this color is a useful diagnostic tool for the preliminary identification of stellar types, since hot and cool stars show a fairly clear L-M color separation. This is especially important if visual colors are not available, as in the Galactic Center. For one of the most prominent dust embedded sources, IRS3, we find extended L- and M-band continuum emission with a characteristic bow-shock shape. An explanation for this appearance is that IRS3 consists of a massive, hot, young mass-losing star surrounded by an optically thick, extended dust shell, which is pushed northwest by wind from the direction of the IRS16 cluster and SgrA*.

description: This review discusses recent progress in physicochemical understanding of the action of the saponin β-aescin (also called β-escin), the biologically active component in the seeds of the horse chestnut tree Aesculus hippocastanum. β-Aescin is used in pharmacological and cosmetic applications showing strong surface activity. In this review, we outline the most important findings describing the behavior of β-aescin in solution (e.g., critical micelle concentration (cmc) and micelle shape) and special physicochemical properties of adsorbed β-aescin monolayers at the air–water and oil–water interface. Such monolayers were found to posses very special viscoelastic properties. The presentation of the experimental findings is complemented by discussing recent molecular dynamics simulations. These simulations do not only quantify the predominant interactions in adsorbed monolayers but also highlight the different behavior of neutral and ionized β-aescin molecules. The review concludes on the interaction of β-aescin with phospholipid model membranes in the form of bilayers and Langmuir monolayers. The interaction of β-aescin with lipid bilayers was found to strongly depend on its cmc. At concentrations below the cmc, membrane parameters are modified whereas above the cmc, complete solubilization of the bilayers occurs, depending on lipid phase state and concentration. In the presence of gel-phase phospholipids, discoidal bicelles form; these are tunable in size by composition. The phase behavior of β-aescin with lipid membranes can also be modified by addition of other molecules such as cholesterol or drug molecules. The lipid phase state also determines the penetration rate of β-aescin molecules into lipid monolayers. The strongest interaction was always found in the presence of gel-phase phospholipid molecules.
