description: This work establishes critical phenomena in the topological transition of black hole coalescence. We describe and validate a computational front tracking event horizon solver, developed for generic studies of the black hole coalescence problem. We then apply this to the Kastor - Traschen axisymmetric analytic solution of the extremal Maxwell - Einstein black hole merger with cosmological constant. The surprising result of this computational analysis is a power law scaling of the minimal throat proportional to time. The minimal throat connecting the two holes obeys this power law during a short time immediately at the beginning of merger. We also confirm the behavior analytically. Thus, at least in one axisymmetric situation a critical phenomenon exists. We give arguments for a broader universality class than the restricted requirements of the Kastor - Traschen solution.

description: It is shown that the SO(3) isometries of the Euclidean Taub-NUT space combine a linear three-dimensional representation with one induced by a SO(2) subgroup, giving the transformation law of the fourth coordinate under rotations. This explains the special form of the angular momentum operator on this manifold which leads to a new type of spherical harmonics and spinors.

description: We present an exact solution of Einstein's field equations in toroidal coordinates. The solution has three regions: an interior with a string equation of state; an Israel boundary layer; an exterior with constant isotropic pressure and constant density, locally isometric to anti-de Sitter spacetime. The exterior can be a cosmological vacuum with negative cosmological constant. The size and mass of the toroidal loop depend on the size of the cosmological constant.

description: If inflationary paradigm is correct, then it must create conditions for the hot big bang model with all observed matter, baryons and the seed perturbations for the structure formation. In this paper we propose a scenario where the inflaton energy density is dumped into the bulk in a brane world setup, and all the required physical conditions are created by the right handed neutrino sector within supersymmetry. The scalar component of the right handed Majorana neutrino is responsible for generating the scale invariant fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background radiation, reheating the Universe at a temperature~$T_{rh}\leq 10^{9}$ GeV, and finally generating the lepton/baryon asymmetry, $n_{B}/s\sim 10^{-10}$, with no lepton/baryon isocurvature fluctuations.

description: We prove a conjecture due to Baumgaertel and Lledo according to which for every compact group G one has Z(G)^ \cong C(G), where the `chain group' C(G) is the free abelian group (written multiplicatively) generated by the set G^ of isomorphism classes of irreducible representations of G modulo the relations [Z]=[X]\cdot[Y] whenever Z is contained in X \otimes Y. Thus the center Z(G) depends only on the representation ring of G. Furthermore, we prove that every `t-map' phi: G^ -> A into an abelian group, i.e. every map satisfying phi(Z)=phi(X)phi(Y) whenever X,Y,Z in G^ and Z\prec X\otimes Y, factors through the restriction map G^ -> Z(G)^. All these results also hold for proalgebraic groups over algebraically closed fields of characteristic zero.

description: This paper focuses on the so-called Weighted Inertia-Dissipation-Energy (WIDE) variational approach for the approximation of unsteady Leray-Hopf solutions of the incompressible Navier-Stokes system. Initiated in [56], this variational method is here extended to the case of non-Newtonian fluids with power-law index $r\geq11/5$ in three space dimensions and large nonhomogeneous data. Moreover, boundary conditions are not imposed on some parts of boundaries, representing, e.g., outflows. Correspondingly, natural boundary conditions arise from the minimization. In particular, at walls we recover boundary conditions of Navier-slip type. At outflows and inflows, we obtain the condition $-\frac12|\boldsymbol{v}|^2\boldsymbol{n}+\mathbb{T}\boldsymbol{n}=0$. This provides the first theoretical explanation for the onset of such boundary conditions.

description: We present the design, measurement and analysis of a current sensor based on a process of Josephson parametric upconversion in a superconducting microwave cavity. Terminating a coplanar waveguide with a nanobridge constriction Josephson junction, we observe modulation sidebands from the cavity that enable highly sensitive, frequency-multiplexed output of small currents for applications such as transition-edge sensor array readout. We derive an analytical model to reproduce the measurements over a wide range of bias currents, detunings and input powers. Tuning the frequency of the cavity by more than \SI{100}{\mega\hertz} with DC current, our device achieves a minimum current sensitivity of \SI{8.9}{\pico\ampere\per\sqrt{\hertz}}. Extrapolating the results of our analytical model, we predict an improved device based on our platform, capable of achieving sensitivities down to \SI{50}{\femto\ampere\per\sqrt{\hertz}}}, or even lower if one could take advantage of parametric amplification in the Josephson cavity. Taking advantage of the Josephson architecture, our approach can provide higher sensitivity than kinetic inductance designs, and potentially enables detection of currents ultimately limited by quantum noise.

O objetivo deste paper orienta-se para a inserção da personagem Seven of Nine (Jery Ryan) na série. Se Seven of Nine se apresenta como Borg, a proposta que apresento é proble-matizar essa emergência através das reflexões sobre o cyborg, tais como propostas por Donna Haraway. Através da observação da interação entre a crew de Voyager com Seven of Nine, se-jam através dos personagens humans, aliens, holograms e outros borgs, sugiro que é possí-vel visualizar a construção da síntese disjunti-va, tal como entendida por Gilles Deleuze. Com isso, se torna possível clarificar o papel da indi-viduação na percepção do que é tratado como individualidade na série. Em outros termos, para que a interação entre cyborgs e humanos ocorra, é necessário a existência de uma pre-concepção sobre o que é a humanidade. .

description: We study the dispersive properties of a linear equation in one spatial dimension which is inspired by models in peridynamics. The interplay between nonlocality and dispersion is analyzed in detail through the study of the asymptotics at low and high frequencies, revealing new features ruling the wave propagation in continua where nonlocal characteristics must be taken into account. Global dispersive estimates and existence of conserved functionals are proved. A comparison between these new effects and the classical local {\it scenario} is deepened also through a numerical analysis.

Searching for pulsars in extreme orbits -- GPU acceleration of the Fourier domain 'jerk' search

description: Binary pulsars are an important target for radio surveys because they present a natural laboratory for a wide range of astrophysics for example testing general relativity, including detection of gravitational waves. The orbital motion of a pulsar which is locked in a binary system causes a frequency shift (a Doppler shift) in their normally very periodic pulse emissions. These shifts cause a reduction in the sensitivity of traditional periodicity searches. To correct this smearing Ransom [2001], Ransom et al. [2002] developed the Fourier domain acceleration search (FDAS) which uses a matched filtering technique. This method is however limited to a constant pulsar acceleration. Therefore, Andersen and Ransom [2018] broadened the Fourier domain acceleration search to account also for a linear change in the acceleration by implementing the Fourier domain "jerk" search into the PRESTO software package. This extension increases the number of matched filters used significantly. We have implemented the Fourier domain "jerk" search (JERK) on GPUs using CUDA. We have achieved 90x performance increase when compared to the parallel implementation of JERK in PRESTO. This work is part of the AstroAccelerate project Armour et al. [2019], a many-core accelerated time-domain signal processing library for radio astronomy.

Subjects: subject: Robert Frost, Marianne Moore, American poets, syllabic verse, dramatic dialogue, poetic form

description: My thesis project is a themed collection of original poems accompanied by a reflective essay outlining the occasions and the challenges I set myself. The collection grew out of a wish to expand upon images relating to water that I explored as part of my MLitt portfolio at Aberdeen University, inspired by my frequent walks along the Aberdeen coast. Water, in all its guises in the surrounding environment, became a springboard for reflection. Water continues to feature (literally and metaphorically) in many of these poems, but the collection engages much more intimately and deliberately with form. My research entailed primarily metrical analysis to discover how meter and other kinds of patterning create and reinforce sense, how prosodies generate or help to generate meaning. Specifically, I focused on techniques employed in the art of two American poets with very different approaches, Robert Frost (1874-1963) who generally exploited traditional meters, and Marianne Moore (1887-1972) who often worked with syllabics, a form she did much to invent and define. The introductory essay addresses two main topics. The discussion of Moore’s practice centers on her syllabic practice. Understatement, the varied tones achieved in her syllabic poems immediately drew me to her work. Her resourceful ability to incorporate all types of written material into her poems was an additional attraction. In the case of Frost’s I carry out a close reading of his dramatic dialogue ‘The Death of the Hired Man’ from North of Boston, to illustrate what I call ‘deep structure’, a layered interplay between the poem’s content and its formal procedures. The sense of place that comes through in Frost’s poetry has also been important to me. The poems in the collection are rooted in my own experiences and have been shaped by an imaginative vision, molded by my mixed heritage. The poetics realized in the poems included here are the product of my evolving practice, my developing relationship with Moore and Frost in particular, and my attempt to find my own way, with their assistance, to an individual goal.
Characterizing stochastic time series with ordinal networks

description: Approaches for mapping time series to networks have become essential tools for dealing with the increasing challenges of characterizing data from complex systems. Among the different algorithms, the recently proposed ordinal networks stand out due to its simplicity and computational efficiency. However, applications of ordinal networks have been mainly focused on time series arising from nonlinear dynamical systems, while basic properties of ordinal networks related to simple stochastic processes remain poorly understood. Here, we investigate several properties of ordinal networks emerging from random time series, noisy periodic signals, fractional Brownian motion, and earthquake magnitude series. For ordinal networks of random series, we present an approach for building the exact form of the adjacency matrix, which in turn is useful for detecting non-random behavior in time series and the existence of missing transitions among ordinal patterns. We find that the average value of a local entropy, estimated from transition probabilities among neighboring nodes of ordinal networks, is more robust against noise addition than the standard permutation entropy. We show that ordinal networks can be used for estimating the Hurst exponent of time series with accuracy comparable with state-of-the-art methods. Finally, we argue that ordinal networks can detect sudden changes in Earth seismic activity caused by large earthquakes.

description: We present the results of our spectroscopic follow-up program of the X-ray sources detected in the 942 ks exposure of the Chandra Deep Field South (CDFS). 288 possible counterparts were observed at the VLT with the FORS1/FORS2 spectrographs for 251 of the 349 Chandra sources (including three additional faint X-ray sources). Spectra and R-band images are shown for all the observed sources and R-K colours are given for most of them. Spectroscopic redshifts were obtained for 168 X-ray sources, of which 137 have both reliable optical identification and redshift estimate (including 16 external identifications). The R<24 observed sample comprises 161 X-ray objects (181 optical counterparts) and 126 of them have unambiguous spectroscopic identification. We introduce a new classification based solely on X-ray properties, HR and X-ray luminosity, consistent with the unified AGN model. This X-ray classification uncovers a large fraction of optically obscured, X-ray luminous AGNs missed by the classical optical classification.

Two functions are derived. The first describes the behavior of the off-farm daily wage faced by the operator. The second function determines the value of the asking wage, which is the value the farm operator places on his time.

description: The classical Avez-Seifert theorem is generalized to the case of the Lorentz force equation for charged test particles with fixed charge-to-mass ratio. Given two events x_{0} and x_{1}, with x_{1} in the chronological future of x_{0}, and a ratio q/m, it is proved that a timelike connecting solution of the Lorentz force equation exists provided there is no null connecting geodesic and the spacetime is globally hyperbolic. As a result, the theorem answers affirmatively to the existence of timelike connecting solutions for the particular case of Minkowski spacetime. Moreover, it is proved that there is at least one C^{1} connecting curve that maximizes the functional I[γ]=\int_γ ds+q/(mc^2) ωover the set of C^{1} future-directed non-spacelike connecting curves.

Manga motivation

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Pablo states in his article B.C. lags in Asian education (published May 1, 2008) in Georgia Straight that fewer students are enrolling in Asian language programs. To address this concern of declining enrolment, this paper examines the notion of interest and its significance within a language learning motivational framework. By understanding the interest students have in such Japanese popular media such as manga (graphic novels), educators are then able to construct motivating and effective approaches that not only encourage the study of Japanese but may also foster the study of foreign languages in general. The multifaceted constructs of interest as an abstract motivational effect as well as a concrete activity have implications for the language classroom in terms of how instructors might use manga to encourage motivation. Therefore, the challenge is how to make manga texts curriculum-appropriate. To justify the 'legitimacy' of using manga, it is important to view it as something that can complement the textbook, which tends to simplify language as a set of discrete and abstract units bound by rules. The pedagogical need to keep language memorable and testable runs the danger of solidifying, decomposing and fragmenting what in real life is often fluid, variable and continuous. It is suggested here that the 'ebb and flow' of conversation between formal and informal registers, that is lacking in textbooks, can be compensated for with the complementary use of manga texts.

description: In this work we apply commonly known methods of non-adaptive interpolation (nearest pixel, bilinear, B-spline, bicubic, Hermite spline) and sampling (point sampling, supersampling, mip-map pre-filtering, rip-map pre-filtering and FAST) to the problem of projective image transformation. We compare their computational complexity, describe their artifacts and than experimentally measure their quality and working time on mobile processor with ARM architecture. Those methods were widely developed in the 90s and early 2000s, but were not in an area of active research in resent years due to a lower need in computationally efficient algorithms. However, real-time mobile recognition systems, which collect more and more attention, do not only require fast projective transform methods, but also demand high quality images without artifacts. As a result, in this work we choose methods appropriate for those systems, which allow to avoid artifacts, while preserving low computational complexity. Based on the experimental results for our setting they are bilinear interpolation combined with either mip-map pre-filtering or FAST sampling, but could be modified for specific use cases.

Decisions must be made. concerning fertilization rates and. proportions of com and soybeans to plant; furthermore, delays in the decisions are extreme1y costly due to the timeliness penalty associated with late plantings. These pew price relationships and the forced action situation facing decision makers have created renewed interest in the impact of variable prices on input levels and output mix.

description: We propose a new model of minority game with so-called smart agents such that the standard deviation and the total loss in this model reach the theoretical minimum values in the limit of long time. The smart agents use trail and error method to make a choice but bring global optimization to the system, which suggests that the economic systems may have the ability to self-organize into a highly optimized state by agents who are forced to make decisions based on inductive thinking for their limited knowledge and capabilities. When other kinds of agents are also present, the experimental results and analyses show that the smart agent can gain profits from producers and are much more competent than the noise traders and conventional agents in original minority game.

description: The $Λ$CDM cosmological framework predicts the existence of thousands of subhalos in our own Galaxy not massive enough to retain baryons and become visible. Yet, some of them may shine in gamma rays provided that the dark matter (DM) is made of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), that would self-annihilate and would appear as unidentified gamma-ray sources (unIDs) in gamma-ray catalogs. Indeed, unIDs have proven to be competitive targets for DM searches with gamma rays. In this work, we focus on the three high-latitude ($|b|\geq 10^\circ$) sources present in the 2HWC catalog of the High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) observatory with no associations at other wavelenghts. Indeed, only one of these sources, 2HWC J1040+308, is found to be above the HAWC detection threshold when considering 760 days of data, a factor 1.5 more exposure time than in the original 2HWC catalog. Other instruments such as Fermi-LAT or VERITAS at lower energies do not detect this source. Also, this unID is reported as spatially extended, making it even more interesting in a DM search context. While waiting for more data that may shed further light on the nature of this source, we set competitive upper limits on the annihilation cross section by comparing this HAWC unID to expectations based on state-of-the-art N-body cosmological simulations of the Galactic subhalo population. We find these constraints to be particularly competitive for heavy WIMPs, i.e., masses above $\sim 25$ (40) TeV in the case of the $b\bar{b}$ ($τ^+τ^-$) annihilation channel, reaching velocity-averaged cross section values of $2\cdot10^{-25}$ ($5\cdot10^{-25}$) $cm^3s^{-1}$. Although far from the thermal relic cross section value, the obtained limits are independent and nicely complementary to those from radically different DM analyses and targets, demonstrating again the high potential of this DM search approach.

description: The effect of unit trains on market destination changes, corn prices paid to farmers, price variability, .arid daily pricing activities were analyzed at selected country elevators . Two case studies ,were conducted with country elevators from an Illinois cash grain area. Each case study included one elevator shipping by unit trains and three. or four nearby elevators without unit train shipping facilities. Although market destinations changed as a result of unit train shipping, prices paid to farmers did not increase significantly, no/ was price, variability lessened significantly. Pricing activities seemed to become less related for one case. but more closely related for the second case.
On the Relationship of Quantum Mechanics to Classical Electromagnetism and Classical Relativistic Mechanics

description: Some connections between quantum mechanics and classical physics are explored. The Planck-Einstein and De Broglie relations, the wavefunction and its probabilistic interpretation, the Canonical Commutation Relations and the Maxwell--Lorentz Equation may be understood in a simple way by comparing classical electromagnetism and the photonic description of light provided by classical relativistic kinematics. The method used may be described as `inverse correspondence' since quantum phenomena become apparent on considering the low photon number density limit of classical electromagnetism. Generalisation to massive particles leads to the Klein--Gordon and Schrödinger Equations. The difference between the quantum wavefunction of the photon and a classical electromagnetic wave is discussed in some detail.

Subjects: Food Consumption/Nutrition/Food Safety

description: American agriculture has produced an abundant supply of food and fiber at low direct cost to consumers. But environmental concerns., energy shortages, health considerations and other constraints are causing concern as to whether sufficient food commodities can be produced to meet U.S. requirements and at the same time continue expanding exports. To provide public decisionmakers with information with respect to this and other major uncertainties about the future of the U.S. food and fiber system, the Economic Research Service is devoting renewed attention to its Economic Projections Program. Part of this attention is in developing the National-Interregional Agricultural Projections (NIRLP) System. This paper relates to those NIR!\..P components used to project domestic food use and more specifically per capita consumption of major food commodities.
Relation Between Catalyst-assisted Entanglement Transformation and Multiple-copy Transformation

description: We show that in some cases, catalyst-assisted entanglement transformation cannot be implemented by multiple-copy transformation for pure states. This fact, together with the result we obtained in [R. Y. Duan, Y. Feng, X. Li, and M. S. Ying, Phys. Rev. A 71, 042319 (2005)] that the latter can be completely implemented by the former, indicates that catalyst-assisted transformation is strictly more powerful than multiple-copy transformation. For purely probabilistic setting we find, however, these two kinds of transformations are geometrically equivalent in the sense that the sets of pure states which can be converted into a given pure state with maximal probabilities not less than a given value have the same closure, no matter catalyst-assisted transformation or multiple-copy transformation is used.

description: Consumers most frequently blamed government, food marketing agencies, inflation, and corporate profits for rising food prices. Solutions favored by consumers for slowing the rise in food prices included decreased government spending, export restrictions, and price controls. Age, sex, education, and income were found to most frequently influence consumer attitudes.

description: Most scientific data will never be directly examined by scientists; rather it will be put into online databases where it will be analyzed and summarized by computer programs. Scientists increasingly see their instruments through online scientific archives and analysis tools, rather than examining the raw data. Today this analysis is primarily driven by scientists asking queries, but scientific archives are becoming active databases that self-organize and recognize interesting and anomalous facts as data arrives. In some fields, data from many different archives can be cross-correlated to produce new insights. Astronomy presents an excellent example of these trends; and, federating Astronomy archives presents interesting challenges for computer scientists.

description: We derive a precise asymptotic formula for the density of the small singular values of the real Ginibre matrix ensemble shifted by a complex parameter $z$ as the dimension tends to infinity. For $z$ away from the real axis the formula coincides with that for the complex Ginibre ensemble we derived earlier in [arXiv:1908.01653]. On the level of the one-point function of the low lying singular values we thus confirm the transition from real to complex Ginibre ensembles as the shift parameter $z$ becomes genuinely complex; the analogous phenomenon has been well known for eigenvalues. We use the superbosonization formula [arXiv:0707.2929] in a regime where the main contribution comes from a three dimensional saddle manifold.
